WISH TO ADOPT BEATRICE
Sympathetic Interest Taken in
the Affairs of the
Ashleys.
Emma Preparing to Make Her Debut
in a Ben, fit Performance for
Her Sister.

Unusual sympathy appears to have
been excited in certain quarters in the
affairs of the Ashley sisters and little
Beatrice Anita Ashley. Two applications
for the adoption of the interesting little
tot have been made to Emma Ashley, the
aunt, who has taken charge OF the child
pending her mothers recovery OF her
health.
The aunt however, will not allow the
child to go out of her charge. as she fears.
she says, that Lucky" Baldwin may Sc
cure possession of the child, and arrange
matters so that Beatrice will not be in
position to lay claim TO any part of
Baidwi ms estate after his death.
Some unknown person yesterday sent
Mrs. Wood man, the lady with whom En- ma
Ashley and her niece are stopping, clip
ping from Placerville paper, which
stated that Baldwin was stopping at the
Ohio Hotel of that town. This does not
accord With the report given out here by
the millionaire. When he left this City
be stated he was going to Randsburg.
Lillian Ashley underwent an operation
at St. Luke's Hospital yesterday, and the
prospects are now good for her complete
restoration to health in three or four
weeks.
Meanwhile Emma is busy, under the
tutorship of Mrs. Carrie Clark Ward, pre-
pairing for her histrionic debut. She ex-
poets to make her first appearance in one
or two weeks from next Saturday, At
that time ali afternoon and evening per-
Torrance will be given for the benefit of
Lillian. Baby Beatrice will be in evidence
at both performances. Mrs. Ward is of
the opinion that Emma Ashley has great
natural aptitude for the stage and will
make talented and successful actress.
Miss Ashley is under contract with Mrs.
Ward to afterward appear in Oakland and
10 make tour OF the State.

This strike Is new and significant evil
dence that wealth lies deeper in the
mother lode than has been believed.
Advices from Senator VOORHEES, testify
that the find is erich" 1t lies in the big
gest known ore BODY, or pay chute, yet
found in California. The story of the
Gwin mine is the story of the Champion,
Providence and other great mother-lode
mines OF the present, in that it was worked
extensively a generation ago and then
abandoned as improbable until men with
money and confidence came along. dug
deeper and found wealth. Many years ago
it was owned principally by the late SEN
ator Gwin OF BrodericK duel fame. and
while he operated it it yielded a fortune.
In those days mining machinery was
not so efficient as now, methods were less
perfect and the cost OF operations was
greater in all directions. The water was
an expensive impediment, and when at
the lowest level reached the value
of the ore was consumed by the
cost of getting out the gold opera

great group of silent, worked-out mines
that have dotted the mother lode so long
to be recently reopened.

its owners held to it for its known value as
a property that might be protitably de-

Oakland, bonded the mine for $500, 900 and

In doing so they spent money. new
shaft was sunk to depth of 1910 feet at
cost of 100000. and a 40-stamp mill was
erected, the total investment being about
$150, 900. Drifts were run and it was early
discovered that below the old workings
the great ore body increased its length to
1900 feet, being there 200 feet longer than
it had before been found to be.
Milling operations were got fairly going
late last fall and since then work has been
vigorously prosecuted. Work has re-

DAYS ago a dividend of $4,000, the first in
great many years, was paid, and now
comes the discovery that the NINE is
richer than ever.
The Gwin mine is another evidence of
the new confidence of California mining
men in deep mining. 1t is gratifying, too,
to know that this luck has come to Cali
fornja men as a reward of California en-
terprise.

They are both spiritualists, and the
ceremony was performed by F. P. Evans,

The newly-married couple went to live
at the Manchester House, A Sixth street,

future for the happy bride.
Yesterday afternoon she called at her
former home, $50 Folsom street, and her
broIher-ln- law was present. In the course
OF conversation her brother-in-law ex-
pressed his sorrow for her, and, on being
pressed for an explanation, he told her
that her husband was bigamist, as he
had wife living in Chicago.
The shock was a terrible one to the
young wife, and after she recovered she
husband and friend, P. A. Baker, were
chatting as she entered. She immed-
ately charged Thornton with blighting
her life. He was amazed and wanted to
know what she meant.
She told him to go to his wife in Chi
cago, and stepping TO the bureau uncorked
small bottle of chloroform and swallowed
the contents before either Thornton or
Baker OWNED her intentions.
Thornton rushed out of the house for a
physician, who was soon on the scene, ard
by applying the usual remedies saved her
life.
AS soon as his wife was pronounced out
OF danger Thornton went to $50 Folsom
street to demand an explanation from his
wife's brother-in-law. He was In such an
excited state that he fell into hypnotic
trance, and in alarm his mother-in- law
notified the police and Thornton was
driven 10 the Receiving Hospital in the
patrol wagon.
DR.. Fltzgbbon did all he could for him
and put him to bed. He soon recovered
consciousness and was allowed to 60 home.
He gave an emphatic denial to the
statement that he has wife in Chicago
and could not understand why his wife's
brother-in-law should circulate such re-

Should Coxey army again march on Wash

WEDNESDAY,. MARCH 3.

In the Senate, there was another heated dis.
cussion of the proposition to limit the price oil
armor plate for the new battleships to $500 a
ton, and the kindred proposition to establish a
Government arm0r plato factory.
The conference report was then agreed TO-
the remaining items of disagreement going
back to conference.
The final conference report on the Fortified.
ton appropriation bill was presented and
agreed to.
A message from the House reported the pas
sage of the immigration bill over the Presi-
dents veto. The veto message was read. and
without comment was referred to the Commit
tee on Immigration.
The Private Pension calendar was then taken
up. 1t embraced four bills heretofore vetoed
by the President and now recommended for
passage over the veto.
At the evening session the bill to pension
Mrs. Rachel Patton was passed over the Presi.
dents Veto
Mr.. Palmer asked the Senate to take up the
bill placing VIM. II. Hugo on the Retired list
it was probably the last request he would
make of the Senate" Notwithstanding this
appeal Mr.. Quay antagonized the bill by sew
eral times suggesting the absence of quorum
and by other dilatory tactics but the bill was
ultimately passed
The fact soon developed that Mr.. Quay's op-
position was not directed at Mr. Palmer or his
bill, but that he was deliberately undertaking
to block business because of the action of the
House in agreeing to the Senate's price of $500
on armor plate. He made repeated suggestions
of the want Of quorum, and business proceed.
ed very slowly.
The bill granting pension to Caroline D.
Mowatt was passed over the Presidents veto

In conclusion, congratulate the country
upon the fraternal spirit of the people, and the
manifestations of good will everywhere 80 ap-
parent. The recent election not only most
fortunately demonstrated the obliteration OF
sectional or geographical lines, but to some ex.
tent also the prejudices which for years have
distracted our councils and marred our true
greatness as Nation. The triumph of the
people, whose verdict is carried into effect to.
day. is not the triumph Of ono section, nor
wholly of one party, but of all sections and all
the people, The North aud South no longer
divide on the old lines, but upon principles and
policies; and in this fact surely every lover Of
the country can find cause for true felicitation.
Let us rejoice in and cultivate this spirit it is
ennobling and will be both gain and bless
ing to our beloved country. 1t will be my con-
slant aim to do nothing, and permit nothing
to be DONE that will arrest or disturb this grow.
ing sentiment of unity and cooperation, this
revival of esteem and utilization which now
anmates so many thousands in both the old
antagonistic sections, but shall cheerfully do
everything possible to promote and increase it.
Let me again repeat the words of the oath
administered by the Chief Justice. which, in
their respective spheres, so far as applicable,
would have all my countrymen observe:
will faithfully execute the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States, and will, to the best
of my ability, preserve. protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States"
This is the obligation l have reverently
taken Iefore the Lord Most High. To keep it
will be my single purpose; my constant prayer,
aud shall confidently rely upon the forbear-
ance and assistance of all the people in the dis
charge OF my solemn responsibilities.

who had been sick for over three years,
and who had sought five different physicians,
all of them highly esteemed in their pro-
fess0n, without receiving any perceptible
