STARF0RD'S ELECTIONS.
Two Strong Candidates aspire to
Become the Football
MANAGER.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. q
The election for football manager for 1898
has taken an interesting turn. w. a.
Pritchard 9S was announced as candi-
date to-day. The opposing candidate is
Duncan MacKinnion '99, whose name has
been before the student body for several
days. The fight will i'll all likelihood be
both close and interesting. Both men are
conceded to be capable. AS neither is a
frat man that vote will probably be split
in twain. Electioneering is hot, and those
who profess TO be neutral are button
uoled on all occasions. A strong contin-
gent IS behind each man. The election
viii take place the last week of the semes-
ter.
Another prominent place to fill is the
position Of editor of the Daily Palo Alto.
AT present but one name, that of 4. 0.
Letter SO, has appeared for the office
Captain Cotton of the Varsity has called
the election for football captain for Mon
day evening. Fisher '9S and Thomas 90
are still the only contestants Tor the honor.

Mrs, Barnes Sues Thomas F.
HemmenWay for Breach
of Promise.
The Prospective Groom Fled as
the Wedding Guests Were
Assembling.
He Gave as His Excuse That There
We're Other Women in the
City.

Mrs. J. Barnes Yesterday, through her
attorney, James X. Ross, commenced a
suit against Thomas f. Hemmenway for
$10 damages for breach OF promise.
Mrs. Barnes is pretty woman OF about
% years of age. She was married few
years ago to a miner, but that union was
not happy one, and she separated from
her husband. and a few months ago she
secured a divorce. She is the daughter of
DR.. Frost and resides at 2O20 Mission
street. Hemmenwav is a bookkeeper in
the employ OF the FIreman's Fund In
surance Company, and he, like the plain
tiff in the case, move in the best circles OF
society in the city.
Mrs. Ba mes in her complaint alleges
that on January she engaged herself 10
marry documentary, ami August was
the date set for the wedding. Hemmen-
way up to within few hours of the time
set for the wedding was a devoted lover,
and as the line drew near 10 the date set
for the ceremony invitations were sent
out to the friends of the couple to take
part in the festivities.
Hemmenwdy personally made arrange.
ments with the minister. The prospective
bride purch ssd a handsome costume for
the occasion and the wedding was to be
Drlli1ant affair. IDree days before the
ceremony was 10 take place Hemmenway
was TO meet his prospec i've bride to com
plete some of the minor details for the en-
tertainment of the guests they had invit-
ed, Tut when the time came Mrs. Barnes
received a message by telephone from
Hemmenway that ii would be i'm possible
for him to meet her. That was ION a Sat
urday afternoon. He was profuse in his
regrets and said that he would atone for
her disappointment by giving her an
agreeable surprise on Monday. On Sun
day her lover failed to call and the pros
spective bride went to her room that night
apprehensive OF danger.
About neon the next day the postman
brought a letter addressed 10 her ia her
1t was from Hemmenway. In it he said
he could not marry Mrs. Barnes. The
note was short. and the writer gave no
reason why there should be no wedding
as Ee had arranged. Hurried notes had
10 be sent to the invited guests and at the
office where Hemmen was EN- ployeu
1t was said e had gone to New York.
About three weeks ago Hemmenway
came back and Mrs. Barnes sought an in.
tervi " with him to ascer ain why she
ad been treated in such manner. After
several attempts she succeeded in soein
him, and all the reason lie would give wase
that there were her women in the city
Beyond that be would say nothing, ex
cept that he had engaged attorneys to
look out for him in the matter.

Sierra County, Cal, arrived in Carson
yesterday on the trail of the man who
shot and killed his brother near Loyalton

named Hubbard and at the preliminary
hearing he was discharged from custody.
Afterward more facts came to light and it
was ascertained that !he Grand Jury was
about 10 bring an inCic ment against
Hubbard and the latter skipped out, his
wife following him later. As soon as
Henry heard OF the new evidence he i'm
mediately started after his brothers
slayer. He says he will kill him on sight.
He has followed him for a couple OF weeks
now, sometimes on foot and sometimes
by wagon, but usually on horseback He

o I'D communication sent to the Council
by Mr.. Williams, and in which was in
Guided the report OF Engineer Hermann.
This was missing from the files OF the
City Clerk, but its presentation to the
Council was recorded in the minutes OF
that body. The minutes also showed that
it had been referred to the river i'm prove
ment com mittee, consisting of Julius
krieg and William T. Noting and City
Engineer c. NJ. Barker on May 3 1897, the
day 1t was submitted TO the Council,
seven months ago.
Both Noting and Barker declare that
they never saw the communication after
it had been read at the meeting of the
Council on the evening of May g. and that
they had never been consulted with refer
ence 10 the matter by Councilman Krieg,
who is the chairman OF the committee.
Efforts were made 10 see Krieg, but with
out success.
City Engineer Barker said that he had
inspected the work done by the con-
tractors; that he considered they had full
filled their conditions of the contract, and
that he hal approved their claim W hen il
was submitted to him. The claim for ex-
ira work, he said, had never been sub
mitted to him.
1t is not unlikely that some public-s pir-
ited citizen will institute a suit in behalf
Of The city to recover the money which, it
Is claim d. has thus been illegally paid
on a contract that has not been properly
performed.

been frustrated. A short time ago Tom
Hogan, petty thief, was caught in the
act of sending opium into the jail, and he
is now serving term of SIX months for
his act.
The red pepper that was found in the
bundle this morning was evidently in
tended 10 be thrown into the jailer's ewes
when he opened the door to the tank
and a wholesale break tor liberty made.
The discovery WAS timely, and un-
doubtedly prevented an attempted Jail
delivery.
In the tank with Alonzo Dilley, to whom
The pepper was sent, are a mum Der OF
desperate characters who would not
hesitate to use the red pepper if they
thou hit they could obi ain their freedom
thereby. Dilley was partner of desperado
Ford, who was recently killed in Stockton.
He IS now serving term for grand
larceny, and upon its com pletion will be

Judge Campbell Decides
That the Ordinance Is
Void and Invalid.
It Conflicts, He Says, With the
Penal Code, and Is Also
Retroactive.
Prosecuting Attorney Spinetti Imme-
diately Filed a Notice of
Appeal.

As was anticipated Judge Campbell yes
terday morning rendered his decision IN
the case of Charles Atlas, charged with
violating the recent ordinance passed by
the Board OF Supervisors closing the dens
of vice on Quincy and st. Mary streets.
The Judge decided that the ordinance
was invalid and void.
Prosecuting Attorney ]. A. Spinetti was
not unprepared for the decision, and he
Immediately filed a notice OF appeal to the
Superior Court and arranged for hear
ing within week, so that there might be
as little delay as possible in having the
matter decided by the higher court.
Chief Lees evinced no surprise at the
decision and said he had little faith in it.
If said the Chief "there is an invalid
point in the ordinance he is not justified,
according to the decisions of the Supreme
Court, in setting aside the whole ordi>
nance, which he has done. Besides, do
not think that the ordinance is retro
active. The offense which was charged
under it was not committed before its
passage, but afterward, and is still being
committed. Therefore, as the ordinance
was not adopted to tit a past crime 1t
cannot be and is not retroactive. Before

Il intend, as soon as | get sufficient evil
dence, to cause arrests under the ordi-
nance and also under the State law. The
cases will be fully prepared and will be
passed upon in a lawful way-not the
haste that marked the case just decided"
Father Otis OF ST. Mary's Church looks
upon Judge Cam pbelPs decision IS some
thing of joke. ut was what l expected"
he said; "buI it seems strange to me that
he should 90 so far as to declare the ordi-

knows moro about the law than l do.
'One thing is certain, those places must
be closed UP, and II Is a pleasure 10 know
that Chief Lees promises to assist in clos

THE LAST NIGHT.
The Art Gallery at the Howard Presby-
terrain Church Is Both Novel
and Amusing.

The most attractive and interesting fea-
ture of the fair given by the Ladies' Guild
of the Howard Pr sbyterian Church was
the "Arg Gallery" 1t was originated by
the Sunday-school class and had many
little things to deceive the people. For
instance, the catalogue SAID, "a Woman
Answer" and finding the number the
word because" was found TO be the wor K
of art. Maid of Orleans" was discovered
10 be a piece of molssses candy and "a
Study in Oil' was discovered 10 be a can
of sardines, and so on.
The programme last night at the fair was
most entertaining, and the cornet and
trombone solos by the Misses Noble were
listened to with pleasure by all. The fair
closes tonight, after a very successful
time. The ladies OF the church made all
the candy sold at the candy booth them
selves-not the molasses. candy that is
generally thought of when homemade
candy is spoken OF, but the French creams
that would do justice to any cenfectioner.

Obituary.

=
J. r. GLADDEN. who died recently in
Blue Hill was born in Wisconsin in
1927. He became converted in 1853
and nine years later was licensed to
preach. In October 1895 he was in
jured in a runaway while moving to
Minnesota, from the effects Of which
accident he never fully recovered.
Brother GLADDEN. spent all of the
time in preaching the gospel that he.
was able, was very efficient and ener-
getic in preaching what he believed to
be the truth, drawing around him a
large number of friends, who with his
family are left to mourn their loss.
When near his end he made arrange
ments for his funeral, selecting a text
for the sermon which was, 'sI have
fought a good fight, ETC., and also the
preacher to conduct the services, who
was the writer. Our loss is his gain.
Rest Brother GLADDEN.. We would not
call thee back to suffer again
