v. ]. BRYAN IS COMING.
He Will Arrive in the City
This Afternoon From
Oakland.
All Arrangements for His Reception
Have Been Made-A Big
Serenade.

To-day Central Park will ring with
shouts of welcome for William J. Bryan,
the banner bearer of the Dem ocracy of the
country.
Most ella borate arrangements have been
made for his reception. A platform has
been erected in front of the grand stand,
between the Eighth-street entrance and
the Market-street L of the tiers of seats.
From that platform, facing toward the
east, the speaker will address his au-
dience That it will be big one is cer-
tain, for all day yesterday the office OF the
chairman of the com mittee in charge was
besieged by seekers after information and
tickets of admission.
The sealing capacity of Central Park is
about 5000 and a test of the acoustic pro-
perties OF the grand stands made yester-
day showed that if every one keeps quiet
the words of the speaker can easily be
heard by all. Just behind the speaker are
the reserved seats, 1900 of them, Ior the
various committees and their invited
guests. In the big open space where the
old baseball diamond was laid out the
crowds which prefer to stand near the
platform Will be allowed to gather, so the
sealing capacity OF the grand stands Will
not by any means be the limit to he num-
ber of those ad United.
Judge James G. Mcguire will preside at
the big meeting, and he will introduce the
man from Nebraska.
AT half-past o'clock this evening
procession will form to escort Mr.. Bryan
10 Woodward's Pavilion, where he will
speak at o'clock. In the escort will be
the Iroquois Club and the Central Demo-
cratic Club, besides the reception COM
mittee appointed to receive the orator.
Colonel w. P. Sullivan Jr. will be mar
shall of the parade.
The doors of the pavilion will be opened
at P. NJ The lower floor will be reserved
Tor ladies' and their escorts, and on the
stage will be the reception committee and
the escort. w. Il. Afford, chairman OF
the Democratic State Central Committee,
will preside. In the evening Mr.. Bryan
will be serenaded at the Palace Hotel.
The distinguished guest will arrive in
the Citv from Oakland on the Vigiant at
3 o'clock. The tug will land h i'm at Mis-
SION wharf He will be met on the
tug by William P. Lawlor, chairman of
the executive committee, and lunch will
be served on board before he lands.

VELBURu IS
OUT ON BAIL
Colonel Dan Burns and
Thomas H. Williams Are
His Sureties.
The Ex-Collector's Case Set
for the goth Inst. for
Examination.
he Expects to Set Himself Right
Before the World When
Loupe Receivers.

o. NJ. Welburn, the ex-Collector OF In
ternal Revenue, walked out of the Federal
building comparatively free man yester-
day afternoon. He was released on $4,000
bonds furnished by Colonel Daniel NJ.
Burns, the wealthy mining man, and
Thomas II. Williams, the racehorse-
fancier.
In the morning Welburn was taken be-
fore United States Commissioner Heacock
for the formality of Identification. Mar
shal Barry Baldwin made oath that the
prisoner was the same person as named In
the warrant OF arrest. The prisoner ad-
mitted his identity. Neither of his attor-
neys, McNab and McEnernev, was pres
ent, and in default of bail, $4,000, he was
taken back 10 the County Jail by Deputy
Marshal Harry Moffatt.
The ex-Collector states that as soon as
his chief deputy, Louis Loupe, recovers
from his illness, he is sure that Loupe
will clear him of all trouble. The deputy
is recovering slowly and it will be several
weeks before he will be BILE to be around.
Welburn's attorneys were not idle, al
though they were not in evidence at the
Identification. They were out hurrving
here and there hunting for bondsmen for
their client For time it was supposed
that E. B. Pond would assume half of the
responsibilities, but in the light of later
develo pments IT was evident that he was
not looking for that kind of an invest
ment for his money. Later the name OF
Louis MetZger was mentioned for the
same honor, but at the last minute he
too backed out.
When nearly time for the Commissioner
10 close his office for the day the attor-
neys made their appearance accompan ed
by Colonel Dan Burns and Thomas Will
Jams. The latter consented to go on the
sureties of the accused and the formalities
were soon passed. From all appearances
WelDurn was not very much acquain ted
with his sureties, for there was lot of in
Producing to be done before they were all
on speaking terms. The Comm ssioner
after accepting the bonds set the date for
the preliminary examination for July 90
Welburn left the building in company
with his friends in an apparently much
relieved frame of mind.

LOVERS MEET
UNEXPECTEDLY
An Affecting Scene in the
Receiving Hospital
Yesterday.
After Three Months Search
Mary Evans Discovers Her
Afianced There.
They We're Engaged to Be Married
in Portland, but He Fled to
Escape Arrest.

There was an affecting scene in the Re-
celvlng Hospital yesterday afternoon be-
tween TWO lovers, who Unexpectedly met
after forced separation of some three
months.
Frank Clark was a cook in Portland, Or,
and met Mary Evans, a domestic SER
want about 80 years of age. They soon
formed mutual attachment, which cul-
minated in an engagement to be married.
Clark was fond of gam bling, and about
three months ago he had hard luck at a
faro game. In his desperation he passed
counterfeit $100 bill on the faro-dealer.
His lliluck continued and, fearing arrest
for passing the counterfeit bill, he fled
from Portland and came to this City.
warrant was sworn out for his arrest,
and few weeks after his arrival here he
was captured and taken TO the County
Jail. He turned sick in Jail and last week
was sent to the Receiving Hospital, where
it was found that he was suffering from
hemorrhage of the lungs. He was put in
private ward and since then deputy
United States Marshal has been detailed
at the hospital to prevent him from
esca ping.
Mary Evans wondered what had become
OF ner lover till about two months ago,
when she learned that he was in this City.
She determined TO follow him, and ar
rived here on May 26. She made in
qhlrles about Clark, but could find no
trace of him.
She procured situation with the family
OF Rev. DR.. Foutz. 1923 California street,
and at every opportunity she tried to find
some iidings of Clark. Yesterday morn
ing she learned that he had been arrested,
and i'll the afternoon called at police
headquarters. She was almost hysterical,
and after quiry hai been made at the
City Prison and his name was NOT on the
register her nerves gave way and she
sobbed and shrieked. Sergeant Colby
took her to the detectives room and tried
10 soothe her, but she got worse and De-
tective Crockett took her to the hospital.
While being led to the female ward she
had to pass the private ward occupied by
Clark. Something familiar struck his ear
as the sobbing woman passed along. He
hurriedly opened the door and the two
lovers confronted each other. With a
shrek the woman rushed into his arms
and sobbed OH his breast. He kissed her
and spoke fondly to her, and gradually
she became calmer and was able to listen
to the story of his flight ana arrest When
she was told of his illness she in turn be-
came the comforter.

SALIN As SUGAR WORKS.
Active Operations in Building
the Great Factory of the
World.
Immense Quantity of Material on the
Ground to Be Used in Con-
struction.

Claus Spreckels and A. B. Spreckels.
accompanied by Judge Wiedeman and
E. c. Macfarlane of Hawaii, paid visit
Monday and the day before to the bee
sugar works at Watsonville and the beet
plantations of that region. They visited
also the site of the great beet sugar refin-
cry at Salinas which will when completed
surpass any establishme mt of q similar
character in the world.
Reports have been sent out recentIy by
certain influences in the East TO the effec,
that this vast work W ich Claus Spreckels
enterprise naugurated would never be
carried forward TO completion. Should
any one visit the site of the great factory
at the present time and observe the pro.
gress OF work on the foundations and no.
tice also the 1000 barrels of cement to be
used in future work of construction, al
doubt as to Mr.. SpreckeIs' ultimate pur
pose would be dispelIed. Every one in
California ought to know by this time tina,
Claus Spreckels does not halt or change
his mind when his purpose to carry out 8
great enterprise Is once determined. He
is going ahead now with all possl BILE yigo,
to build In the Salinas Valley the greatest
sugar factory In the world.
The com pletion of this factory and the
employ ment which it will give will dc
more to promote good times in California
than million mass meetings and twice
that mum Der or stump speeches.
a. b. Spreckels, E.. G. Mac arlane and
Judge Wiedeman returned to the City
Mond ay evening. Claus Spreckels wen,
to Aptos and will remain there four or
FIVE days.

THE BALLOON FATALITY.

Little BERTHE HIPS neath Was Not
Purely Accidental.
OAKLAND, CAL, July 6.-The Coro-
ner's jury investiga ting the death of little
Bert Hill, who was killed by falling from
balloon yesterday. brought in two YER
diets tonight. The Coroner, DR.. Bald win,
signed the minority verdict. which Is as
follows:
We, the jury, do find that the name of the
deceased was Bertram Hill, a native of Cali
fornia, aged years and months, and that he
came to his death at E. J. Hashs ranch, Pied
mont Hills, Alamedn County, at about 5
O'Clock P NJ, July 5. 1897, and that death was
caused by fall from balloon ascending from
Blairs Park; and we do further find that very
little precaution was taken by the company
controlling the ascension TO prevent accidents
TO children.
The majority verdict received the same
facts and made the following recommen-
dation:
And we do recommend that the company
having charge of the ascensions in the future
take proper precautions 10 prevent all but
employees from assisting in the preparation
for the ascens' ons.

DEFEND FIGEL
The General Has Been Re-
taineo to Take the Place
Of Lloyd.
Is Confident of Being Able to
Disprove the Charge of
Murder.
Father and Son May Have to Gross

Concluded.

Theodore Figel shows no apparent ap-
prehension of what may be in store for
him tomorrow. when he is to be called
upon to answer to some of the most Sc
rious charges In the criminal category
He is cheerful and even witty in CONVEX
sation with those who call to see him. He
goes SO far as to joke about the crimes he
mas been charged with and expresses the
utmost confidence to the effect that he
will not be convicted on any OF them. So
far as the murder charge is concerned, he
ridicules the idea of his being proved
to be the slayer of his former employer.
His prison life is probably less irksome
than that OF any individual confined in
the jail. He has all his meals brought in
to him and generally has a friend 10 lunch
or dine with him. He has made frienc a

establishment, to the TRUSTEES. Each aay
he walks the corridor of the prison for
several hours, in order, he says, to be
able to sleep at night. He takes from
eight to ten hours slumber. and his clear
eyes and elastic carriage show that his
rest is seemingly free from disturbing

misses. He declares that the lack ot il
mas interfered with his appetite. For this
reason he INDUCES in but two meals a
day.
Captain Bohen now has four men work
ing on the case, seeking to discover new
evidence. One of these was put on yester-
day, in response to the request Of Judg ge
Murphy to have certain III liter lnyesti-
gated. Nothing of a startling character
has been developed since the conclusion
of the Coroner's inquest
Judge Murphy declined to saw vester-
dav which of the charges he would cause
to be called first. He expects Henry Ach
to return 10 town to day, and hopes that
that gentleman will be present in court
while the preliminary hearing is in prog
ress.
General w. H. L. Barnes will have
charge of the case for Figel. He WAS re-
tanned owing to the inability of Mr.. Lloyd
to give what he thought would be proper
attention to the case. The Fair case will
absorb most of Mr.. Lloyd's time
General Barnes said yesterday that he
did not much care which charge was
brought up first, but added that he hought
it would be an injustice to bring up any
other until the murder accusation was dis
posed of. IF the others are tried before
the gravest CHARGE" he said, ''they will be
able TO keep the young man in jail, as he
cannot be bailed on the murder charge

However, it is their privilege to put the
cases on in any order they may decide
upon.
"If they call up either the EN- bezzle-
ment or forgery charges first l shall ask
10 have the capital offense put ahead. L
suppose Judge Murphy will say. We have
the right to regulate these ca es as we
please, and l shall simply have to con-
cede his right
II have not the least fear that they will
be able to make anything of the murder
and forgery charges, and as to the others
| have not yet examined them sufficiently
10 be in a position to express an opinion
relative TO them"
Should these cases be taken into the Su-
peror Court, as they undoubtedly will be-.
a peculiar situation will be created.

the most notable criminal cases in the his

CUT HIS THROAT.

Warren E. Letson, a Printer, Attempts
to Commit > uicide.
Warren E. Letson, a printer, living at
617 Third street, while temporarily out OF
his mind from excessive drinking, cut his
throat with a razor last night.
He had been confined to bed and while
his vile and friend were sitting by his
bedside he sprang oul of bed, seized a
razor and rapidly drew it across his throat
before they could interfere.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital
in the patrol wagon, and DR.. Thom pson
stitched and dressed the wound, which
was deep but not necessarily fatal.
Letson had to be forcibly held down on
the operating table, and after the opera
ton was performed he had to be strapped
down 10 his bed.

FELL DOWNSTAIRS,

Colonel John O'Brien Has Lucky
Escape From Serious Injury.
Colonel John o Brien, a veteran of the
war, living at the Baldwin House on Ellis
street, had narrow escape from break
ing his neck at an early hour yesterday
morning. He was on the way to his room,
and at the TOD of the stairs missed his
footing and iell to the bottom. He was
picked up in an unconscious condition
and taken to the Receiving Hospital in
the am bulance.
DR.. Tormey found that the veteran had
escaped with compound fracture of tue
nose, lacerated wound of the scalp and
another on the upper lip. He did not re-
cover consciousness till several hours
later, and was considerably surprised 10
find himself in the hospital.
When the war broke out the colonel
raised a regiment and went East at its
head. He fought through the war and
returned to the City. He i. a man about
20 years of age.

pect of Mrs. Brad bury taking the witness
stand.
In connection with this gathering OF
evidence there is a story abroad to the
effect that department editor of a morn
ing newspaper which essays to trail the
path OF what it is pleased to term new
journalism" has been dragged into rather
a Dasty dilemma.
1t is said of him that in his anxiety TO
corral joyful scoop" he aided and
abetted in the com mission of these elopers'
alleged crime by securing apartments for
them at the Fairmount Hotel and giving
his personal assurance that he knew them
TO be man and wife.
He is also said to have registered them
under false names. knowingly and wit
''malice aforethou. ht." He will be called
to the witness-stand, and maybe some
thing worse than that will happen.

FOOD COFFEE.
FOOD COFFEE.
A FAMOUS RUNNER
A Profession Demanding Good
Lungs and Heart.

Thos. ]. Lee. of the New York Athletic
Club, who Sc performances have attracted
great attention in athletic circles in this
country ana Canada, says: 1T is impos-
s,ble for me 10 use coffee when training.
Postum Cereal supplies the want to my
complete satisfaction, without any of the
ill effects of the former. To my mind it is
the best thing for athletes that has ever
been marketed"
A thoughtful man would quite naturally
conclude that If the powerful athletes
sought out and used specially selected
food in the form of food coffee it would
be wise thing for brain worker to do.
An athlete needs energy, vigor, vital
force, to win.
How much greater the need of these, by
the man or woman who wins by the ex-
haustive mental processes.
Postum is delicious when well made, 1t
must be boiled 10 minutes.
