CAPTAIN EDGAR'S CONTEMPT.
The Sup eme Court Looking Into the
Ebauks Execution Matter

The Supreme Court Looking Into the
! Ebauks Execution Matter
The State Supreme Court in bank took
| up the Edgar Terrence contempt matter
yesterday, and after hearing all the facts
iE the case promised decision very soon.
The trouble was caused by the failure OF
the acting warden at the State prison at
San Quentin to execute Joseph Japheth
Ebanks the San Diego murderer, on
October s, as directed by the order of exc
cution of Judge Terrence. Ebanks' crime
was the murder of Harriet Stiles.
On the day set for his execution his at
torney appealed 10 the Federal court for
a writ of habeas corpus. The petition was
denied by Judge de Haven, who how
ever. permitted the attorney to appeal 10
the United States Supreme Court. This
was what caused the stay of execution
which cot the acting warden into trou bic,
for In the face of the appeal he did not
dare to hang the man.
This aroused the dignity of the San Die
go Judge, who at once cited Captain Ed
gar to show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt. He was not sat-
istied with Edgar's excuse about the stay
of proceedin IS and be imposed a fine of
$500, which was not and is not paid. Cap
tain Edgar was arrested by Sheriff Jen-
nings OF San Diego County and he applied
for writ of habeas corpus, which was
heard Yesterday. His contention was that
under section 766 r. S. of the United
States there was stay of proceedings
which he was obliged to obey, as it was
mandatory. Judge Torrences contention
was that The appeal to the United States
Supreme Court was not stay of proceed
ings and that the State court had full
jurisdiction under the constitution. The
Supreme Justices will decide soon who is
right.

567 tickets were played on Sharkey to win
in from six to nine rounds. This was bv
far the largest play in the mutuals and il
looked as if some of the wise ones hit il
right. The mutuals will pay little over
five dollars to one.
Taken as whole the fight was q
clumsy affair and did not by any means
give general satisfaction.
Tom O'Rourke deposited last night with
Charley Asher at the Baldwin Hotel
$1,000 that Sharkey could not stop Joe
Walcott in twenty rounds at catch

the sailor accepts this challenge.
The preliminary event was between Joe
Kennedy of this city and Tom Lansing OF
Louisville, kid" McCoys former spar
ring partner.
Kennedy weighed 100 pounds ana
Lansing about 167, but what the latter
lacked in weight he made up in lightness
OF loot. Kennedy was as slow in his
movements as the workmen on the new
Hall of Justice.
In the first and second rounds neither
did any effective work. Both showed lack
of training, being badly winded at the
close of the second.
In the third Kennedy landed twice on
the face with straight lefts. These seemed
to llven up Lansing, who swung his right
hard several times on his opponents body.
Lansing received hard Jolt on the face
IN the beginning OF the fourth, and they
exchanged a few stiff blows at close range.
Lansing then landed three straight lefts
on Kennedy's face in quick succession
and terrific right swing on the jaw. He
was much the cleverer OF the TWO and
avoided many vicious but harmless
swings.
In the fifth Lansing put in a straight
lett hard on the face and two stiff right
hand swings on the neck, following up
with left swing on the face Kennedy
fought foully, wres Ing III the clinches
and trying to choke Lansing.
Kennedy continued his foul tactics in
the sixth, despite the admonitlons OF Ref
cree bob" Macarthur, who finally stopped
the bout and awarded it to Lansing on
foul, amid the cheers OF the audience
Lansing would probably have won any
way on points.
Immediately after the preliminary, Joe
King The local middle-weight, stated to
the sporting editor of THE CALL that he
would fight Lansing at the middle weight
limit OF 150 pounds for side bet of $1,000
before the clnb offering the largest purse.
The announcer stated that the next tight

in South Africa a he time of the Jami-

operations in that quarter that his judg-

an opinion to be valued.
Mr.. Brown expects that there will be
an immense rush to the Northwest

OF precious metal are in his opinion sure
to be the outcome of the extensive pros

people go into that region OF country next
season 195, 900 will come out broke.
Mining regulations in South Africa are
easy in comparison with the tax imposed
on klondike miners. In the former
country a man can mine at his will if he

Detective Edward Gibson has run down

City Prison a vicious appearing Chinese
whom he believes stabbed almost to death

Stockton street josshouse few days ago.
The detective found the work of ferreting
out the would-be murderer a hard one,
but he believes he will be able to wind a
chain of evidence about his prisoner that
will be exceedingly hard to break. Much
satisfaction is expressed over the arrest of
the suspect, as IL is believed that had the

Angel Voices or Thunder.

Rev. H. w. Moore of the Presbyter-
ian church preached yesterday morn
ing from the text: ''The people there
fore who stood by, and heard 1t, said it
tbundered; others said an angel spake
un.o him :" Mr.. Moore said in part:
Well, has it. been said that we are in
this world like voyagers on a ship. We
inquire of what the ship is made-what
makes it go, what makes it float. We
examine the engine room with it's
cranks and pistons and cOndeusers.
We come up on deck and look into the
heavens the home of the sunshine and
the storm. We look out over the wide
sea so full of mystery and we are filled
with new questions. Where is this
ship going? Has it q wise captain?
Can he direct it over the sea of howl
ing tenpest-? Agnosticism says to
these Questions: We do not know.
Bi' ter iufidelity says we are drifting
like log; we are lost mariners. Chris
tiapity says-this ship has captain.
He is God our father. This means q
safe voyage and q certain port. When
General Armstrong died he left behind
him some statements to be read at his
funeral. Among them was this: 81
have been guided by God in every
thing. Prayer is the strongest power
in the world. 1t has been the best
thiug that ever l did," To some men,
God is everywhe re and every provi-
derc of life has in it angel voices. To
others a blind, dumb fate shoves US
along and all nature and providence is
as inar ticulate as thunder. How diff
ferent1y the same truth affects different
people. One man hears sermon and
is eomforted and saved. Another man
hears the same sc rmOn and IT, has 70
voice for him-all in thunder.
WI tbs one mans meat Is another man
poison. The same sun that ripeps the
peach ripens the poison. To some,
God is in the rocking planets, the soar
ing m curtains, the wind, tongue in
tree s, books in runnir g brooks, sermons
in stones, and good in everything )"
The world is full of angel voices-while
to others who 90 through the world
most beautiful landscape is but come
terry ard the brightest star is but q
torchlight to the tomb. All to him is
inarticulate thunder.
This was the third voice that sp Ike
out of heaven during Christ's life. One
voice at his BAPTISM, one on the NOM
ent OF TRANSPORTATION and now again
when the Greeks came to have q pri-
va.e conversation with Jesus at Jeru-
salem. Some said it was thunder,
others said it was an angel speaking.
How much depends on our attitude of
mind as to whether we hear Gods
voice or not. Take it in Nature. To

Angelic Visitation.

Rev. W. o. Millican preached las
night in the Baptist church from th'
text, "The angel of the L ,rd encampetl
arour them that fear him, and de
livereth them.'' Psalms XXXIV:7
The speaker said any and all endeavora
to worship angels whether through
pictures or otherwise is contrary to the
will of God, and should be contrary tx
ours. The early Christian fathers be
lieved that special angel was detailed
by God 70 each person at their birth
to watch over that person till death
and SO, many people have come to be-
lTeve that a guardian angel is watching
over every one who fe irs and loves
God. DR.. Broadus says it is not posi-
lively known that the theory of guard
ian angels is an error; out at the same
time there is nothing in the scriptures
to warrant it. At the same time many
Christian people are guided by hope
and expectation of angelic presence but
human his'o bears out the text.
Once in while God has seen fit
to reveal us the invisible, as was in
the case Of Gideon who delivered Is
rael. God can work in more ways than
through man alone. Here the speaker
cited q number of instances, as the
Csc OF the angel who closed the mouth
of the lions in the den where Daniel
was thrown; the vision to Joseph tell
ing him to fee from the wrath of
HerOd; the shifting of Herod by the
angel of the lord; the sending of Philip
to the Euuuch in the desert: the roll
ing away of the stone from the mouth
of the sepulchnr by the angel; angels
came and ministered unto him; "for
their angels do behold the face of my
father who Is in heaven" Angels are
declared to be with US in our worship;
andawhy not believe angels are present
with US from day to day. The speaker
was inclined to believe that with the
mass of testimony of the bible before
us, we must accept it as fact that
human spirits are more or less in COM
muniOn with greater spirits, angels
who are to help and encourage US just
with Elijah, Moses and the servants of
God of old. Good spirits shall triumph
over the evil spirits, and enthrOne
Christ as lord of all.
The choir was assisted by violin,
clarinet, cornet aud horn, Mr.. Ander-
son of the McGinty band playing the
clarinet. This instrument carries til e
alto part very we'll. A euphonium to
play the base part lie much needed.
An enjoy able feature of the musical
part of the exercises was soprano
and violin duo between Miss Windsor
and Mr.. Pollard of the McGinty or
chestra. with organ accom- paniment by
Miss Helen Stout of Chicago. The
selection was Braga's ever favorite
Angels Serenade, and it was we'll
given. 1t has been remarked of the
orsanist that she is one of the finest
music readers in town, and brings out
of that organ more music than any one
else has ever been able to get out of it..
