DEATH CAME
At NIGHT
A. Loughborough Suddenly
Stricken Down by
Apoplexy.
IT CAME SWIFT AS A
BLOW.
He Had Not Been Ailing and
the Stroke Was Unex-
pected.
A LAWYER WELL KNOWN IN
THIS CITY.
He Was Born in Virginia, but Has
Practced Here Since the
E rly Sixties.
A LAWYER WELL KNOWN IN
THIS CITY.
He Was Born in Virginia, but Has
Practiced Here Since the
E rly Sixties.

A H. Loughborough, who for years has
been one OF the prominent figures OF the
San Francisco bar, died suddenly last
night from a stroke OF apoplexy.
He was at his residence, 100 OFarrell
street, and had retired some time before.
His wife, who was IN an adjoining room,
heard him breathing heavily, and on going
in to see what was the matter she found
her husband lying on his back, his face
almost purple and giving every sign OF
that dread disease, apOplexy.
She called her son George and he was
at once sent for DR.. Robinson. He re-
turned with the physician within a few
minutes, but in the meantime the attor-
ney had died.
Mr. Lough borough had not been ailing,
in fact ne has been enjoying unusually
good health for some time past, and his
sudden end came heavy and swift as a
blow upon his family.
A. H. Loughborough was 81 years OF
age He was born in Warrenton, Va,
October II, 1884. and came to this State in
1861. He has been practicing law in this
City for great many years and his name
figures on either one side or the other of
the biggest actions that have appeared in
the courts of California.
He went into partnership with julius
George on his arrival in this State, but
that partnership was dissolved two years
later, when he returned to West Virginia,
to Wheeling, to be married.
After his marriage he removed to Balti-
more, Nd, where he practiced law for
four years. Then he returned to this City
and resumed his practice here.
He was a hard student and he gave to
his cases the greatest care and attention.
He was a good court lawyer but of late
years his business has not been so much
in court as in his Office. He was known
to be particularly good in PROBATE cases
and his pro bate business was in conse-
quence very large.
He leaves a widow and three children,
Alexander Jr., George and Fanny Lough-

SUES THE SHERIFF.
That Officer Sold Mortgaged Property
and Is Asked to Pay the Mortgage.

Wing & Hornblower, attorneys for Ce-
line Anderson. have brought suit for
their client to recover $500 and interest
on a mortgage held by her on the furnl-
ture of the RIchelieu Restaurant, 118 Ellis
street, which was sold by the Sheriff

E: NJ. Ratio against L. Berge and his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berge cond ucted French
restaurant on Ellis street. and last No
vember executed a cbattel mortgage to
Mrs. Anderson for $500, money advanced

the place.
The Berges gave a note. secured by q
mortgage on the furniture, for the amount
of their inde btedness on Novem Der IL,
1896, recording it on that day. Later they
became involved and certain creditors as
signing their claims to Z. M. Ratio, he
attached their furniture and obtaining
judgment directed the Sheriff to sell the
same.
The attorneys for Mrs. Anderson claim
that before The Sheriff can seize ty at
tachment or execution any personal prop

CATHEDRAL COUNCIL.
1t Will Absorb the Mem mbership of Ber
mingham Council, Young Mems
Institute. No. 50.

Despite the very lnclement weather last
night there was large attendance at the
preliminary meeting held in the basement
of ST. Mary's Cathedral, for the purpose
of taking steps to institute the new coun-
Gil of the Young Mems Institute in the
cathedral parish.
The meeting was presided over by the
Rev. Father Dempsey, and the only busi-
ness transacted was the reception of the
applications of those who wish to become
mem bers of the council.
This council will be called Cathedral
Council and will have the members now
held by Birmingham Council No. SO. This
last-named council was not numerically
as strong as it was thought it ought to be,
and it was suggested that it be merged
into the new council that was being or
ganized in the Cathedral parish. The
suggestion was accepted and steps were
then taken to perfect arrangements for
the consolidation.
At future meeting those whose appli-
cations have been favorably passed upon
will be organized, then limitations, insti-
tuition and election of officers will follow.
The expectation is that the new council
will have about 100 mem bers.

Some people bave wondered to
hear of the Senate foreign iela
tons committees considering OF
the M3rgaa bill at all while the
treaty of anut xation is pending
There is probably very good
reason why great care should be
taken reg ,rilpg the Submission of
the matter to Congress. Under
the wellknown rule that a matter
once decided cannot be taken up
again at the tame session the re
lection of the treaty might prevent
any consideration of either bill
o. resolution this session. There
fore, unless j. il made sure in ad-
vance that the ire ty will have a
two-thirds vote III the Senate, its
introduction at all might be fatal
to annexation for this year at
least.

ALLEE SAME MEXICAN MAN
After Now the Heather Chinee Will
Write Like a Christian.
HOnekOns Professor Springs Roman Letters
on the Monaghan World and Kong
Sui Wants Them Used.

The China yesterday brough,
from Hongkong circulars describ
ing a new system of writing which
has been semi officially adopted
for use in the schools and by the
public of the Flowery Kingdom
Many local Chinese merchants
have receiv. d the circulars. Most
of them like the new system,
though, of the number seen yes
terday evening, a few shook their
heads and said they thought il
looked too deep for the average
Chinese brain.
The new system is modiGca
tiou of the Roman letter. hooui
one. half of the European alpha
bet is used, though 81 distinct let
ters are made out OF it. For in.
stance the letter n is taken and
pronounced zen" and e'en"; but
with two periods following it, as
~, is pronounced sin" and
sing" With a comma over the
top it has another sound, thus
giving the same letter three>d's
tipct uses. Every letter used is
made to sound IN as many or
more different WAYS.
The father Of the new system is
a celebrated Chinese professor OF
Hongkong and Canton. In his
circular to the public be states
that he has devoted nearly seven.
teen years Of his life to the per
lection of the system. The pre-
sent system, he says. is hundreds
of years behind the times; and he
claims that every man, woman
aud child in China can, with a
little practise, write under his
pan.
1t is worthy of note that the
Emperor of China and many
msndsrins of the provinces have
endorsed the sys'em, which gives
it official support
1t was really amusing yesterday
to see Chinese merchants porting
over the system, rs they nov have
it in the circular letter. 1t came
on them unexpectedly and for a
great while they were at loss to
understand baole letters prioted
10y the side OF their own. In a
short time, however, most of them
could read with ease in the new
system. In place of a mark with
four dozen crooks and dots they
imniy read "Sup Sens," in good
Christian Roman, or something
else; and that meant stem cents.
Thus the system goss. 1t is Eng.
lish, save tue horrible accents and
the meaning of the words.

STRUCK BY THE TRAIN,
Little Child Il ssriously Injured at
Sand Springs.
From Thursday's Daily.]

t1ASA AnuIouAy HauyJ
As the 4 o'clock Rock Island freight
passed Sand Springs this afternoon it
struck the 5 year old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Sherman who reside at the
waterworks station, Mr.. Sherman be.
ing engineer. The little one was
playing near the track. The train
stopped, took Mrs. Sherman and the
baby aboard and word was telephoned
to the father who was in town. Drs.
Felty met the train and the child
still living was taken to their office.
Examination showed that the little
ones skull is fractured, but the full
extent Of the injury could not be de-
termined at present. The mother
was greatly overcome and could give
no details Of the accident.
She had been at work and the little
one slipped away from her and ran
outside.
Engineer Lay did his best to stop
but owing to the sharp curve at the
Springs was not able to see the child
in time to avoid striking it.
