LATE CLARENCE NELSON.
He Was Laid to Rest Yesterday
With Masonic Honors.

The friends of the late Clarence Mel
son paid their last respects to his NOR
tai remains yesterday when in large
numbers they followed them to the
cemetery.
The services took place at the family
residence, 1888 o street. Rev. NJ. D.
Buck of the Sixth-street Methodist
Episcopal Church oficiated. The ser
vices at the grave were conducted by
Tehama Lodge. No. 3, F. A. NJ, w. E.
J. Baughman, Worshipful Master.
Sacramento Chapter, No. 3, Royal
and Select Masters, We're in attendance
in full regalia, and Sacramento Com
mandery. No. ,, Knights Templar, act
ed as escort, led by the Second Regi-
ment band.
Miss Clinch, Mrs. Howard and
Messrs. Croker and Lester sang sew
eral hymns at both the house and the
grave
The pall-bearers were: J. L. Pear
son, w. B. Davis of Tehama Lodge, F.
& A. NJ; w. D. Knights and A. A. Van
VOORHEES, of Sacramento Commandery,
No 2, knights Templar; E. w. Hale
and l.. F. Breuner, Sacramento Chap
ter, No. 3, Royal and Select Masters,
and George B. Blue and w. D. Stalker
of Capitol Lodge of Odd Fellows.
Deceased, besides being prominent in
Masonic circles, was at one time quite
active in the local military. When the
old City Guard ZOuaves were in their
prime he was their First Lieutenant,
and old members of that once noted
company remember him as one of the
most efficient officers it ever had.

discovered a blaze well out near the
center of the bridge. He lost no time
in reaching the spot with buckets of
water, and by prompt and energetic
work extinguished the flames before
any serious damage had resulted.
The superstition is that someone in
crossing the bridge had thrown away
a cigar stump or lighted match which
fell into and ignited some of the dry
rubbish such as collects on bridges.
The incident brought to light the fact
that there was no provision made for
extinguishing a fire on the bridge. The
structure is a long one, and there
should be barrels of water located at
various points to be used in such olsier-
gencies In the case of this particu-
lar bridge the Supervisors could doubt
less arrange, for small sum, to have
the barrels kept filled.
Wherever possible all bridges should
be thus provided with barrels of water
for fire purposes.

REEDS RACKET.
Secret Service Agent Harris Wants
the Bogus Dollar OPERATOR

United States Secret Service Agent
Harris and his deputy, Littlefeld, ar
rived in the city last evening to ar
range for taking E. L. Reed to San
Francisco, provided he is held to an
swer to the Federal Court on the count
now pending attempting to pass coun-
terfeit money.
Reed, 1T will be remembered, was ar
rested a few days ago and convicted of
working the change game on A Wake,
proprietor of a market. 1t is alleged
that on the evening of his arrest he
also made several attempts to pass a
bogus dollar and warrant was sworn
out at San Francisco for his arrest on
that charge.
Justice Davis will probably sit as
United States Commissioner this morn
ing, and in that capacity will hear the
preliminary examination.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this ev-
ening Manager Hall will formally in
augurate the dramatic season of 81
9S with Charles Frohman's select COM
pany headed by John Drew, in the
beautiful sentimental drama Rose
mary" The play has had a remark
able run in the Eastern cities, was a
pronounced success in San Francisco
recently at the Baldwin Theater, and
is still on the boards in London after
a years run. In this piece Mr.. Drew
steps out of the line in which he has
been best known and personates an old
man and, it is conceded, with equal
skill with which he assumed young
men parts. The San Francisco POST
said of the play:
Rosemary" is a pretty enough, hu-
man enough little story of that half
forgotten time when men, even men of
40, loved women and remembered hon
or. The slight tragedy of the piece seems
unnecessary save to give Mr.. Drew his
opportunity.
The San Francisco call" in the
course of lengthy review, said: ut
is difficult to convey in cold type a
true idea of the simple charm and fra
GRANGE of Rosemary" Parker & Car
sons Victorian play. The theme is an
old-fashioned love story with a runa-
way marriage, a broken postchaise and
other concOmitants of the Gretna Green
description that garnish the pages of
SO many of the romances written in the
days when Queen Victoria was a girl
in her teens. With one exception the
simple story of Rosemary" has no
strikingly novel or dramatic situat lions,
but, after all, the object of a play is
probably to give the actors a chance
Of acting, and, judging by this stan
dard, no one can accuse Rosemary"
of not being dramatic. There were
seasoned -nighters in the audience
last night who were heard to declare
that they never knew before how strong
John Drew could be in his acting. Some
of them covertly wiped away tribu-
tary tear during part of the last two
acts"
The San Jose Herald says Of the
play: "In it Mr.. Drew appears as a
mona genarian and does what is conced-
ed to be the best piece of character act
ing to his credit. Rosemary is a
most delightful play Certainly no
comedy or drama ever produced in New
York had so many pretty things said
about it as had this play during its
five months run at the fashionable
Empire. The women raved over it.
and the matinee girls will never get
through telling how sweet and lovely
! it is"
The support of Mr. Drew includes lisa
bel Irving. and Daniel Harkins, both OF
whom have been seen here and have
had warm approval by Sacramento
audiences; Arthur w. Byron. Harvey
Harwood. Annie Adams. F. f. Lamb,
Graham Henderson. Victor Moore, Mrs.
/ DeIoss King and Miss Sara Converse
| F Rosemary" viii be played two nights.
such is the confidence Manager Hall
has in its drawing powers. The com
pany will not leave here until Saturday
noon

mistress of z. c. Jones (who was killed
during a struggle with her a couple Of
weeks ago. and who was released be-
cause no complaint had been filed
against her, had been re-arrested.
Acting City Attorney De Ligne had
concluded that in the interest of JUS
tice the matter of the killing ought TO
be sifted TO the bottom, and yesterday
a complaint charging the woman with
the crime of murder was sworn to on
the information and belief of Sergeant
of Police John P. McSIanus. The COM
plant will be supported by affidavits
Of witnesses who testified at the Coro-
ner's inquest.
Since the first arrest of the Gomez
woman the local police have looked
up her past record, and have found
that she was born in Prineville, Or,
where she lived until she reached wo-
manhood They have it on good au
thority that at PrineVille she consorted
with a Chinaman until the citizens of
the town took the matter up and COM
fpelled her to leave.
The police have further information
that before leaving Oregon the woman,
who then went under the name of
Thompson, killed man at Cottage
Grove, and that after she came to Cal
ifornia she stabbed, though not ia
tally, man in the southern part of the
State. The killing of her paramOur, one
Hossler, at Stockton, took place at so
recent q date as to be well remembered
by many persons residing here. The
woman will probably be arraigned in
the Police Court this morning.
Dell Gomez was seen in her cell last
night, and she branded all of the infor-
nation received by the police as false
hoods, except that she killed Hossler in
Stockton
She stated that while she was born
in Oregon, she was never in Prineville
but once She denied that she had ever
consorted with a Chinaman. ''Niggers
are bad enough" she declared.
She further denied that she had ever
killed a man in Oregon, and said she
never stabbed a man in Southern Cali
fornia, nor anywhere else, and that she
was never south of San Francisco.
She also denied that she ever went
by the name of Thompson, and stated
that her true name is Rosie German,
and that she took the name "Adella
Gomez when she came to this State.
She states that her people are respect
able, and that while she is bad, she is
not so black as some have painted ner.

Miss Grover Resigns From the

At meeting Of the City Board of
Education last night Superintendent
Erlewine called attention to the recon-

felt justified in the belief that an eff

for rounding UP bad boys that habitu
ally play hockey would not only pay
for his salary, but bring in a pretty
penny for school purposes.

ceived by the board, and a motion by
Director Sherburn that Truant Officer
be elected from month to month, at a
salary of $75, was carried unanimously
