sented to deliver a lecture on the postal
service at Y. NJ. G. a. Hall on February 4.
This lecture will explain IN detail the
functions and operations OF the United
States postal system, and will be illus
trated with stereopticon views. Mr.. Erwin
has been collecting data for this lecture for
several years, and his long connection with
the department as one of the confidential
agents Of the Pos ostmaster-General renders
him peculiarly tit TO speak on this subject.
This lecture was arranged by the postal
clerks, thinking that its instructive
features would prove especially interesting
TO the business community, which de-
pends so largely on the mails in the con-
duct of daily affairs.
In the arrangements for this Nation al
convention the Postoffice officials at
Washington and the superintenGents OF
Eastern divisions have taken the liveliest
interest.
The arrangements for the reception and
entertainment of the visitors in San Fran
cisco have been in charge of Assistant
Superintendent Lewis, the executive Of

MRS. QUACKENBUSH
VIS|BLY TREMBLED
Attorney Foote'S Pointed
Questions Affected Her
Nerves.
Nevertheless She Held Her
Ground in Regard 10 Her
Marriage.
Gas Bills and Grocery Accounts That
Caused Acrimonious Dis.
cuSSion.

Mrs. Nancy Ann Abbott Quackenbush
had another interesting interview with
Attorney w. w. Foote in Judge Seawell 8
court yesterday.
incidentally her attorney presented on
her behalf quite number of documents to
sustain her claims to wifehood.
For instance, there were about a dozen
gas receipts for the house occupied by
Mrs. Quackenbush, all of said receipts
being made out in the name of T. M.
Quacken bush, who is claimed by her as
her husband by contract, although he
denies it.
Against this batch OF documents Mr..
Foote directed an energetic attack.
Mrs. Quackenbush testified that in order
ing provisions and supplies she made out
a list of what was wanted and Quscken-
bush signed it. Tben it was sent 10 the
dealer. He always gave Mrs. Abbott a
part of the money necessary to pay the
rent. She produced a receipt bearing the
signature of a woman now dead for rent
once paid by Quackenbush. She also had
a package of receipts from the San Fran
cisco Gaslight Company made out to
Quacken bush.
She produced come private notes writ
ten to her by Quackenbush. They were
almost as ilegibIe IS Chinese lottery tick
cts. Attorney Foote insisted that the
court should read them and then pass on
their legibility. Judge Seawell could not
read them, and Attorney Rodgers started
to decipher them from translation.
Foote objected to the translation, and
Mrs. Abbott was asked to read them.
The lady made an effort, but it was i'm.

MARKET-STREET MASHER
A Young Lady Testifies Against Joseph
Bush, Who Us Convicted of
V8Rrapcy.

Joseph Bush and s. M. Stone, the
Market street mashers, appeared in Judge
Conlan's court yesterday to answer the
charge of vagrancy.
Detective Graham and Policeman Nc
Gee testified that the two young men had
been hanging around the Emporium for
some weeks and complaints had been
made to them that ladies had been in
suited by the Washers.
Carrie Epstein, young lady living at
1923 Twenty-third street, testified that
Bush had accosted her on Market street
last Wednesday. He asked to escort her
home, and she felt indignant and told
him she did not know him. She walked
away, but he followed her up Powell street
and again spoke to her. She walked as
far as o Farrell street, Bush still following
her, and as she turned along OFarrell she
met Policeman MCGEE. She told McGee
that Bush had insulted her and MCGEE
placed him under arrest.
Bush declared that he had no intention
of insulting the young lady, said he was a
married man and a plum Der by trade.
The Judge convicted him of vagrancy and
ordered him to appear for sentence to-day.
The case against Stone. whose chief fault
appears to De that he was companion OF
Bush, was continued till to-day.

Mr.. Foote's inference in his subsequent
questions was that Mrs. Quacken bush had
taken posses ssion of the papers belonging
TO Quackenbush for the purpose OF bolster
ing up her claim.

Foote. he asked the witness If she did

celved 1T from Quacken bush, and she de-
MED the insinuation. She also resented
any imputation that she has fabricated
any papers for use in this suit for 5000 a

Mrs. Eva Poindexter and Mrs. Della
Heerness testified that they heard Mr.
Quackenbush and Mrs. Abbott, as she was
then known, talk of their engagement 10
be married and of their inten ton to go
East on bridal tour.
On cross-examination Mrs. Poindexter
confessed to Mr.. Foote that she bandoned
ner children In the East before coming to
California. She said she obtained divorce
from her husband, but the records OF the
court were produced, showing that her
husband obtained divorce from her.

Private Detective Cal1undan Fir

Private Detective Cal1undan Fined
500 for Malicious Mischief.
T. H. Callundan, private detective, was
fined 500 or 100 days in the County Jail
by judge Joachimsen yesterday, on the
charge of malicious mischief. His attor-
ney, W. d. Cook, gave notice OF appeal.
Callundan was arrested on October 16
on warrant sworn out by Lee Hen. -Four
days previous Callundan, acting under the
instructions of the Chinese Consul, raided
the clubrooms of the See Yup society in
Chinatown and destroyed, it was alleged,
about $4,000 worth of property.
When the case was tried it was urged
that, as Callundan had acted under in
structions of the Consul, there was nc
malice on his part, but the Judge took a
different view of the case.
The Callundan raid was one Of the m owes

SCHOOL DEFICIT LARGER.
Director Waller Discovers That the
Amount Exceeds His Original
Esti,nate.


Amount Exceeds His Original
Estima ate.
The meeting of the Board of Education
this evening will be very lively affair in
all probability. The deficiency in the
finances of the School Department is,
according to the figures secured yesterday
by School Director Waller, larger than
was at first supposed when it was placed
at $4,000. Yesterday Mr.. Waller an
nouneed that the deficit at the end OF the
fiscal year will be nearer $40. 900 than any
other figure.
Books and accounts have been carefully
considered during the past few days by
Mr.. Waller. and he has also worked inde-
fatigably to ascertain facts from all
sources, that the situation may be fully
understood. Auditor Broderick and the
Tax Collector have supplied some data
The result of all this is that Mr.. Waller
will have a statement, typewriter, to
present this evening for the consideration
of his fellow-me m bers in the board, and
the statement will be made-"There is the
deficit" this being followed closely By the
question-"What are you going to do
about it?"
1--WE hope by economy" said Waller
yesterday, Ito diminish the amount OF
| the deficiency some before the end of the
fiscal year. We will get $4,000 less from
the apportionment OF the Supervisors OF
| the City taxes than we figured on. There
| is also another deficit due in the second
! installment of the State taxes, which in
| stalment ought to have amounted to $217,-
600, but it will fall down to $197, 900.
| The Supervisors figured too closely.
II Auditor Broderick's figures had been
( taken in making the apportionment we
would have been in much better shape.
Yesterday the representative OF the
Miriam Company of Boston, who fur
nished a stock of dictionaries to the
| School Department, called upon Mr.. Wal
ler to see what could be done in the direc-
ton of getting paid for them. He said
that he did not want the dictionaries back,
but wanted the money for those delivered
amounting to $64S. The purchase was
| clearly in violation of the one twelfth act
and Mr.. Waller has been SO advised by
Auditor Broderick. The agent went away
and proba bly, viii be heard from later.

The production of the grocery bills
aroused Mr.. Foote'S ire. He wanted to
know if ali the bills Tor groceries had been
kept by her, and she said that she retained
all that came into her hands.
Don't you know that there were
grocery bills made out in your name that
were receipted and that you destroyed

That is not true" replied the witness

the next question.
