CLUBMAN'S WIFE OR MISTRESS
CHICAGO'S SOCIAL CRIMINAL
SENSATION.
Mabel Wallace, or Ketcham, Appeals
to the Coroner for Speedy Inves-
LEGATION of Ketcham's Death.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-There was a dra-
matte scene today while the inquiry
into the death of John B. Ketcham
was in progress at the Indiana avenue
home of Mrs. Mabel Estelle Wallace,
who claims to be his widow. But two
witnesses had been examined by the
deputy coroner and statements of the
two attending physicians submitted,
when it was announced that owing to
the inability of the chemist to COM
plete the analysis of the stomach, the
Inquest would be postponed for a
week. This brought Mrs. Wallace to
her feet Il want an investigation, -
she said, land / want a thorough one,
but l am not satisfied with this. L
have some rights and 1 demand that
they be considered before this inquiry
is postponed a week. That will not
do. The chemist can complete his
work in less time than that. Think
what l must endure in that time, con-
tinued Mrs. Wallace, her voice break
ing and her whole body trembling with
emotion. why can't it be continued
in day or two?"
Her pleading was not without effect.
for it was finally decided to continue
the inquiry Friday afternoon, by which
time the chemist will probably be
ready.
Mr.. Ketcham will be buried in the
family plot at Toledo. What promised
to be a difficulty between. Mrs. Wallace
and the relatives of the dead club man
was averted today by Mrs. Wallace,
who, before the inquest was called,
turned her alleged husbands body
over to his brother, George Ketcham,
who will leave with it for Toledo this
evening. A funeral service was held
at Mrs. Wa1lace's residence on Indiana
avenue this morning by DR.. Burch,
pastor of the South Park Avenue
Methodist church.
Within a half-dozen days the will
of the club man will be filed for pro-
bate and it is intimated that the con-
test which this step will undoubtedly
produce may lead to one of the hardest
legal battles ever Waged in the courts
though the stakes are not so high. as
they have been in some cases. The
evidence adduced at the coroner's in
quest on the remains of John B
Ketcham will figure to a great extent
in determining the final disposition OF
the property of the decedent.
George Ketcham eyinced a great dis
inclination in his evidence today tC
admit that the dead man had a Lawful
| wife living at the time of death. He
! limited that his brother had Shown
some weakness of mind, and upon the
latter point it is probable that the
greatest fight will be waged upon the
will when the document is produced
Efforts will be made to show, it is
stated that Ketcham was unduly in
| fuenced at the time of drawing his
will two weeks ago. by the terms OF
which his whole property was giver
to Mrs. Ketcham, or Wallace.

Dawson City, n. W. T.. Aug. %, 1897.
Friend Donnelly: I have been here
nearly a week. having arrived on the
morning OF the 25th inst. The last
saw OF any of the Baker City folks
was at Dyea. None Of them have shown
up here yet, but 1 suppose they will be
along soon. None of the boats with the
folks from the Sound or San Francisco

viii Put In a Shelter.

The Beaver Lake Copper Mining
company, after making tests on the
ores from its mine and also from the
Copper Mountain, adjoining, has ex-
perimented on the mineral by concen-
tration, roasting and precipitation, and
at last has arrived at the conclusion
that the wisest and best course will be
to put in a small smelling plant, which
without question will successfully
handle the different classes of ore en-
countered in these mines, which run
all the way from red oxide and peacock
to sulphides.
Near the surface thesores carry high
in red oxides, but as depth is attained
sulphides are coming in, as will be
seen by the letter sent in by The Her
aids Frisco correspondent
And now that q conclusion has been
arrived at the officers of the company
are figuring with machinery men for
the kind of plant decided upon, and it
is the intention to have the smelter
ready for its first charge by the first
day Of March.
Meanwhile the work of DEVELOPMENT
goes on aDace and every foot of work
done leads to the continued belief that
in Beaver Lake district some of the
largest copper mines in this inter-
mountain region will yet be disclosed.
Never too late to mend; begin now

MEXICAN NEWS.
Suicide of an American-Trial of
Lynchers.

Mexico City, Nov 1c.-Charles SOM
mer, general agent for Mexico of the
Mutual Life Insurance company. of
New York. committed suicide today by
shooting himself through the head in
the forest of Chapultepec. The deed
was probably due to criticisms on his
management. He was very popular
and public spirited and his suicide is
regretted by the community. He has
been in Mexico many years.
The trial of the lynchers continued
today without any sensational devel-
opments. Crowds in the streets Kissed
and hooted the prisoners as they passed
out after the trial this evening but the
police guarded them efficiently Pop
ular Indignation against them contin-
ues intense.

A BRISK STOCK MARKET.
Active Demand Causes Corresponding
Advances In the Bidding.

The tone of the stock market yester-
day was excellent and orders were not
confined to any one security, while as
a general thing advances were noted.
In the listed stocks nothing was done
until Galena was reached, and after
considera bic sparring between the bulls
and bears transfers in thes security
were recorded. Geyser- Marion, While
inactive in the way of sales, was able
to maintain former quotations and
closed quite strong at the figures given
below. Mercur sold in board lots at
SS.15, and while it is generally believed
that this stock will gradually advance,
the bidding was withdrawn to $S.05
with offerings at SS25. Mammoth was
also a favorite with the brokers and
registered advances as well as sales.
Northern Light, while steady, was not
a ready seller, and at the close was
quoted at 50 cents bid and So asked.
The two Swanseas attracted consid-
cradle attention during the call of the
unlisted stocks, the former closing firm
at SLIGO in the bidding with 81 asked.
while the latter changed hands at S1.25
and at the close had advanced to S1.35
in the asking. Sacramento held its
own at 25 cents in the asking. the bid
ding declining to Is cents, although Il
nad been bid for the stock on the curb
before the call. Chloride Point con-
tinued a favorite and at the quotations
of the previous day, buyer and seller
being but a little way apart at the
close. Hercules marked slight gains
in the bidding while the stock was stiff
fer in the offerings. Dexter was prac-
tically unchanged.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
200 Galena at 65 cents.
100 Mercur at $S.15.
100 Mammoth at SLIGO.

"Chauncey Depew in his speeches

not deserve, and ii places them in the
wrong light. OF course, there are many
persons who do not feel lSSindly toward
England but they do not compose the

Lansing, Mich. May 26.-The legis-
