Dr.. George Adam, the Family
Physician, Reported the
Case.
Developments in the Loring Case
Made the Officials Sus.
picious.

Poor Sarah Sheehan, for her sin, now

City. Last Sunday morning she died, and
when the relatives brought the death GER

office of the Board of Health, the Health
Officer de eclined to issue a burial permit.
the cause of death being stated as peri
tonitis.
Experience in the case of Mrs. Loring
had made the Health Office more careful
about issuing permits in suspectable cases.
The body was accordingly taken in charge
by the Coroner and conveyed to the
Morgue.
DR.. George Adam, whose Office is room
149 Phelan building, made the following
statement to a CALL reporter yesterday
afternoon:
II have been the family physician of the
Sheehans for several years continuously.
On March 20, Miss Sheehan's brother
telephoned to me TO go out to the house
and attend her, she being i'll. afterward
learned that it was against her express
wish that had been called in.
II found, on making an examination,
that she had been sick for from five to
seven days before was called, ana that
decomposition had set in, either from nat.
ural causes or following criminal opera
ton. / relieved the patient and she got
well in a few days and was up and about
for two weeks after that. After that De

ing from psritonitis.

made her confess 10 her mother She
said that she had been keeping company
with conductor on the Fillmore street
cars and that he gave her 81 so to go
downtown and see some physician. She
refused to tell me the name of the doctor
whom she went TO see. She died on Sun
day morning, and the cause of her death
was probably from catching cold after she
got MP"
DR.. Gallagher performed an autopsy
yesterday afternoon and found that peri
tonitis was the cause of death.

The counties showing an increase oil
gold production aud the amounts are:

Nevada County is more firmly in
trenched as the banner county of the
State than ever before. The remarkable
advance shown in the past year is due to
the increased interest shown and comes
almost entirely from the old producers.
The splendid record of Tuolumne County
is due to the same cause.
San Diego. with an increased production
of S216 30 49, is surprise, though tie re-
suit astonishes no one familiar with the
activity displayed in the opening of new
mines in the rich new Colorado River re-
gion.
Kern County. with an increased output
of 1858, 433 IL, makes a notable record and
one that will amaze many who are unac-
quaintei with its resources. The increase
comes wholly from the new Randsburg
district, and esta ablishes that rich portion
nf the STATE as q gold. nrndnc

CHINESE TRIOKERY.
Another Defeat of the Revenue OmcIaI.
by willy Chinese.

by willy Chinese.
About a week ago revenue officials seized
1900 cigars and 500 pounds of tobacco In
the factory of the Tong Yen Company at
722 Washington street and arrested Lee
Suie on a charge of violating the revenue
laws by using cigar boxes second time
without canceling the stamps and obtain
ing new ones.
Suie was released on giving bonds in the
sum of $3.50. with Lee Lung of 715 Dupont
street and Lee Fung of 7I6 Washington
street as sureties. The revenue officers
locked uc the factory and placed the seal
of the department on the lock. Last Mon
day night the lock was broken and the
place was robbed. Nine hundred cigars
and some tobacco were taken, the burglar
evidently having been scared off before he
could secure all the plunder.
Yesterday WIS the time set for Suie's
examination before United States Court
Commlssionr Heacock, but Lee was not
present The Commissioner ordered the
bonds forfeited and issued bench war
rant for Lee's arrest
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-28

The list of counties showing decreased
production of gold includes some from
which different result was anticipated. i.
CaIayeras, which has the Utica mine as
its largest producer, comes short of expec-
tations, but this is easily understood by
those who are aware OF the immense
amount of work being done among the
mines of the county preparatory to open
ing up new territory in view of larger
output in the future. The same explana-
tion holds good in the case of Shasta, Plu-
mas and Mono counties.
The result OF the whole State, though
less in amount than predicted by the more
sanguine, is regarded as most encour.
aging one and is an indication of the new
!lie which has been injected into the in
ausiry throughout the entire area OF the
state. The outlook is regarded as cheer

The Fire Committee of the Board of Su.

improve or change the houses, hoping by

WHAT FRANCE WAS WILLING TO DC

Would Open Her Mints to Silver II the
Other Commercial Nations Would.
The French ambassador was invited
to declare the position Of the French
government, and he said France was
ready to open her mints to the coinage
OF silver IL the commercial nations
adopted the same course. and he advo-
Gated at great length the ratio Of 15h.
But. he explained. France would not
consider the reopening OF the mints Of
India alone as being sufficient guarantee
to permit the French government to re-
open the French mints to free coinage
Of silver. Sir Michael Hicks-Beech then
announced definitely that Great Britain
would not agree to open the English
nints to the unlimited coinage OF silver,
and that whatever views he and his COL
leagues might separately hold regarding
bimetallism he could say that they were
united On this point.
Baron de Courcel said, as q personal
suggestion. that among other contribu-
tions he thought Great Britain should
oper the Indian mints ard also agree to
purchase annually 10000. COO sterling of
silver for series Of years Senator
Wclcott accepted the proposal that the
British government should make this
purchase with proper safeguards and
provisions as to the place and manner
Of its use.
