FRESHMAN SOCIAL BROKEN UP.
Disqr1cefW Conduct of Illinois University
Sophomores-A Young Lady is
Seriously Injured

CHAMPAIGN, ILL, Jan. 22.-The fresh
man class of the Illinois University at
tempted 10 hold its social in Urnana last
night, and, as is the usual custom, the
mem bers of the sophomore class attempted
TO break it up. They succeeded fairly
well, and at 10 o'clock but few of the
freshmen remained in the hall.
A band Of more than 800 sophomores
charged on the hail. but were driven
back by the police. They then found
their way into building across the alley
and threw malOdorous chemicals through
the windows. The chemicals we're too
much for the freshmen and they were
compelled to leave the hall. They re-
treated 10 a room in the same building
and were all massed in there al 10 o'clock.
Some OF the chemicals thrown struck
the eyes of Miss Della Radebaugh of this
city and she was carried to the Office of
DR.. Bartholew, suffering greatly. The
physician said that her eyes were seriously
injured. He feared at she might lose
them. She was accom- panied by r. NJ
Thompson, freshman. and he also got a
good amount of the chemicals, but mona
of the fluid struck his eyes. One sopho-
more was arrested. His name could not
be learned.

that officials ought to be paid in proper
ton to the work that they do; that the.
labor and responsibility OF the several
positions demanded an increase of COM
pensatiou.
Mr.. Pepper, E. P. E. Troy and others
turned themselves loose in oratory against
reconsideration and extravaganza. Mr..
Pepper said that small majority did not
express always the sentiment of club.
He talked about chickens coming home
TO roost, about swords that could be
sharpened on 10th sides and declared that
the club was about to put itself on record
on public question which would seriously
affect its future.
But the friends of the Fire Department
and other departments represented did
not take this view. Re consideration pre-.
vailed by vote of 80 to 26.
The father of the resolution, seeing its
defeat imminent, then made motion to
strike out that part of it in regard to send
ing a lobby to the capital. Numerous
amendments were made and the status of
pings got into parliamentary tangle.
Mr.. Pepper appealed for fairness and fur

Grafton was acted upon. He and others
wanted a general notice sent out TO the
club members, SO that all could be present
and vote on the question.
J. O. Brien finally offered a substitute
that the whole matter b referred back to
the committee on resolutions, with in
structions 10 report next week. This pre-
vailed.
James Fenton OF the Mint wanted the
committee on resolutions to segregate the
bills for an increase of salary and report
on them separately.
The chair informed Mr.. Fenton that the
committe could not do that if it wished,
and after discussing the matter of arrear-

It was a stormy meeting that the Iro-

condemning certain bills now before the
Legislature at Sacramento increasing the
salaries of certain City officials. Judge A.

lively and often.
At the previous regular meeting OF the

appointment of a committee to go up to

they raise the pay OF the Chief OF the Fire
Department from $4,000 to $4,000 per year
the salaries of district engineers from $500
to $2100, and of the assistant chief from
$3.50 per month to a sum several rows OF
figures above tnst amount.
The secretary of the Fire Department
comes in as a beneficiary 10 the extent OF
from $500 TO $4,000 and the Chief of Police
will, if the bill passes, draw $1,000 instead
of $4,000. Detectives and oth'r officials
also come in for raise. The Police Com
missioners would also get $3.50 per month
instead of $3.50.
Last night Chief Rainey's people were
out at the meeting in force. There were
charges made on the floor amid storm
of such ejaculations as "Sit downF and
"Shut upp' that the Fire Department and
the Rainey contingent IN local politics

A. Jacobs, who is reported to be the

GAINS AND LOSES A FORTUNE.
An Uncie's Housekeeper aud Her Chill
dren Step in to Dispossess
Former San Franciscan

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 22-It was no
bitter disappointment that caused this
Charles f. to change his surname of
Funkenstein to Gall. That was only one
step toward acquiring fortune. Now
the fortune has slipped from his grasp,
but his name is still Gall. The fortune
was left by Joseph Gall, uncle of Charles,
who for many years carried on business
as an optician in Union Square. He died
in May, 1886, leaving property worth
$150OG0.
A jury in the Supreme Court before
Judge Barnard is asked to determine
whether Charles is entitled to SAC, 900 for
four years devotion to his uncle and his
business.
Charles Gall, or Funkenstein, lived with
his parents in San Francisco until 1882,
where he was the passenger agent of the
South Pacific Coast Railroad. His uncle
Joseph was childless and advanced in
years, and often requested his nephew to
come to this city and look after his
business. The nephew finally consented
as his uncle represented that he would
never regret the step and that he would
be handsomely provided for in his will.
Young Funkenstein came to this city
.
remained with him until the uncle's
death. The nephew at his uncle's sug-
gestion had his name changed by a de-
cree of the Court OF Common Pleas to
Charles F. Gall. This pleased his uncle
to such an extent that he repeatedly told
his nephew that he was the only heir and
would come into possession of all his prop
erty on his death.
When Gall died will was founo which

nephew, with the exception of about
$1,000 to other nephews and nieces. As
soon as these docume ments were presented
for probate Mrs. Amelia Stieb, who for
some years had been domestic in the
employ of the old gentleman, interposed
an objection to the probate of the papers,
declaring that she was the common law
wife of Gall and that he was the father of
her two children. She was successful in
her suit, the will was rejected and she
came into possession OF the bulk of
Joseph Calls property. to the exclusion
of the favorite nephew. Gall is now seek
ing to estab blish his claim for services
rendered to his uncle for the four years
that he had control of his business, the
intention of his uncle with reference to
the disposition of his property having
been defeated by the legal complications
brought about by Mrs. Stieb.
The deposition of Miss Rebecca Funken-
stein. sister of the nephew, taken in
San Francisco. was read to the jury. The
testimony of the woman was in substance
that her uncle had told her that he in
tended that Charles should be his heir.
as he had been son to him, devoted and
kind, ana had taken care of him as no
one had ever cared for him before.
While on visit to this city her uncle,
she stated told her that Charles would
be looked out for, would get all his prop
erty, and that the amount would be large
enough to pay him for all that had done.

In the Century William Hugh Ro-
barts has an article entitled "Napo

Orleans" In this is quoted hither-
TO unpublished letter written by Gen.
Jackson to Mr.. James Monroe. A por-
tion of the letter follows:
There was very heavy fog on the
river that morning, and the British had
formed and were moving before

ptf in numbers one and two. Number
Dne was to fire first, then step back and
let number two shoot while he reload

men there was great drainage canal
running back from the Mississippi
river to the swamp in the rear of the

ing. Along this canal the British
formed, under the fire of the few artil
lery pieces ! had near enough to them
to get their range. But the instant

dashed forward, and, riding along his

can see their belt buckles The Britt
ish were formed in mass, we'll closed up
and about two companies front.
The British. thus formed, moved on
with quick step, without firing shot
to within 100 yards of the kneeling rife
men, who were holding their fire until
they could sec the belt buckles of their
enemies. The British advance was cX.
