Circuit Court the other day, had she been
,nermitted, that she lent General Dimond
$2l00 10 invest in a land scheme near
Anderson, Shasta County. The general
had as a partner in this enterprise Mr..
Briggs, formerly of the immigration
Bureau To cover the advances which
Mrs. bell made to the general, and in
consideration of other faVors, he took out
policy for $4,000 in the Provident In
surance Company. When this policy was
cancelled he decided, through Shainwald
& Buckbee TO Mrs. Abel a house and lot
at 1888 Sacramento street valued at $4,000.
She would have further testified that
the policy of $4,000 in the Penn
Mutual Company was assigned in good
faith to her, but that the general re-
Quested her to affix her signature to a
blank assignment that he could fill out
and assign TO some other person in the
event OF her death.
1t appears that the transaction of deed
ing the house and lot on Sacramento
street to Mrs. Abel was the last one of a
business character that the general had
with Mrs Abel. This transaction took
place in February, 1896, General Dimond
died in the month of June following. The
marriage engagement, if one existed,
must have been made prior to 1896.
The gossip goes that the fair Theresa
was supplanted by another charmer-one
of English birth and training-in 1895,
and that the general and Mrs. Abel were
not on good terms after Novem Der, 1895.
The case will come up again in the
United States Circuit Court on June 3,
next Wednesday.
Mrs. Abel is credited with deal OF
nerve and dash when she resolves TO go on
the warpath. 1t is related that she went
after another woman some five or six years
ago. who was then living in the house of
Mrs. Nellie Wallace, S41 Golden Gate ave-
nue. Mrs. Abel fancied that this 'otber
woman" was making inroads on the gen.
erals affections, and decided to check the
game. Accompanied by detectives she
went TO the house Oh Golden Gate avenue
and made such q scene that the enemy
was pu. to fight.

An attempt May Be Made to Resume
the IneestiDattosa.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May Pit is
probab bic the acquittal Of Havemeyer to-
day will be followed by an attempt in the
Senate tomorrow to secure continual
ton of the so-called sugar stock investiga-
ton of 1894. Contrary to the general
opinion the special com mittee appointed
to inquire into the alleged stock specula-
tions of Senators IS still in existence, and
it is planned for some Senator to offer
resolution instrrcting the committee to
resume its investigations and issue sub
pena to Havemeyer com handing him to
appear before 1t with the books of the
sugar trust covering disbursements o: con-
tributions for political purposes IN the
campaign of 1892, thus bringing the wit
ness within the rule laid down by Judge
Bradley. The claim that the investlgat-
ing COMMITTEES is still in legal existence is
based on the following facts set forth IN
the Congressional Record:
On August 2, 1894, Gray, chairman OF
the Senate special committee, made the
final report of the committee and asked
that it be discharged from further consid-
Grafton of the subject. TO the request
Chandler objected, saying:
Il think before the committee be dis
charged the Senate ought to have an OPP
portunity to read the three reports. Ii
the Senator from Delaware makes no OBJ
lection l ask that action on his request go
over for the present.
To this Vice-President Stevenson re-
sponded: Without objection 1t will be so
ordered"
There was no objection and the request
went over and was not again called up.
While District Attorney Davis Is discour-
aged over the failure to convict Have
meyer he will press the case against
Searles tomorrow on the ground that it
deals with different matters and that
Searles is guilty.

PARIS. FRANCE. May 27.-Forty work
men have left the cooperative glass
works started by socialists at Carmaux
ABOUT year ago, and have applied to
ResseRuier, the Observation-Disclosures and
capitals to re-employ them. They de-
clare wages for several months are in
arrears; that the capital OF 500, 900 francs,
which was obtained by lottery, is ex-
hausted, and that the society is heavily
in debt. The misery of those belonging
to the society is appalling. the wives of
many OF them being obliged to beg in the
streets. The elected directors, who are
answerable for the condition of affairs,
are not fraternity workers. The appli-
cants for unemployment by Resseguier
have issued manifesto to their comrades
which concludes:
We have lost all orr illusions and feel
bound to bring the facts to the notice of
workers"

an exciting time in Central Park to-day
During the transfer of a vicious leopard
from one cage to another the brute be-
came enraged and attacked two keepers.
Madden and Cook, the two men who had
the beast in charge. had a very severe
tussle with it for fully five minutes. For
while it looked as though both men
would lose their lives. The fierce animal
bit and scratched in the widest kind of
rage. He would jump at Madden and
then turn from him and attack Cook.
Other keepers in the park rushed to the
aid of the two men, and with great diff
Guilty subdued the iniurlated creature.
An examination was made of the two
men. Physicians who attended them say
that it is doubtful whether they, will live.
Madden had a part of his face torn away
and Cook was horribly lacerated.
