A MISSING WOMAN.
Writes Letter From the Cliff House Saying That She Intended to
 Drown Herself.

ALAMEDA, Aug. 1S.-Mrs. Nellie M Holden of 2304 Buena Vista avenue is missing, and is believed to have com mtted suicide in San Francisco, If a note in her own handwriting means anything
 This morning Attorney R. B. Tappan who had transacted business for the lady received 8 letter bearing the San Fran. cisco postmark and written on Cliff House paper, in which she said that long be- fore he received the missiye she would be dead.
 Among other things she said that she had loaned money to people who had not paid her; that she was worried more thar she could stand, and that "her brain was reeling."
 She inclosed some papers for Mr. Tap pan, gave him some instructions about business matters. and concluded by say ing that the ocean was the best place for her, and she had decided to leave the world in that way.
 tr Mr TaRRan t and n9ted the re instituted. The Cliff House was visited that place was readily obtainable by any one who cared to use it. Inquiry showed that some of the attendants had noticed lady who might have been the missing one, and that their attention had been drawn to her several times of late be- cause of her strange actions. However their description was somewhat vague and was not sufficiently clear to make ii certain that 1t was Mrs. Holden.
 The missing woman was employed as bookkeeper and cashier in the real es- tate office of T. A. Smith, to whom she was related by marriage. She left last week-Thursday, August 11-ostensibly for a vacation trip to Sonoma County, and the letter received by MT. Tappan was the first intimation that she had not gone there. Absolutely nothing could be learned that would throw any light upon the cause of her conduct.
 Mrs. Holden was about 45 or 50 years of age, medium sized, dark complex toned, with black hair mingled with gray. She wore curls on the side of her fore head.
 The missing woman was the widow of ex-Governor William Holden of this State She had always been of cheerful disposition until within a few weeks. when she had appeared to be suffering from depression from overwork.

 Brains With a Re-
WANTED TO BE A HUNGER
MOTIVE FOR THE POPULAR
 OFFICERS SUICIDE.

Being heavily in debt and having lit tie prospect of settling with his cred itors were the motives which prompted Police Officer Tom Langford to commit suicide.
 Langford, during the racing meet in this city, endeavored to add to his ex- chequer by playing long shots." He proved a dismal failure as a plunger and soon found himself heavily in debt Unable to meet the demands Of his creditors he became Respondent and determined to end it all.
 Last Wednesday, the day on which he blew out his brains, he met several friends and told them of his troubles. He had been drinking heavily notwith- standing that he was on duty at the time. After reporting off at the Cali fornia-street Station Langford went to his home on Octavia street, and, con trary to his usual custom, he did not speak to his wife. The latter, realizing he had been drinking, refrained from addressing him and re-entered the kitchen to prepare the evening meal. Langford seated himself in the dining room and divested himself of his coat. 4 few minutes later a shot rang out, and Mrs. Langford, thinking that some thing serious had happened, ran into the room to find her husband in dying - condition from the effects of bullet hole in the head.
 Chief Lees ridicules the story that Langford feared being taken before the Police Commissioners for having ar rested Peter Cunningham, an old m1ser, whom he had charged with Vagrancy. Cunningham has large bank account, but for years he has passed as a pau per.
 . Cunningham, after being released, threatened to prefer charges against Langford with the Police Commission CTS. Langford told his wife of Gun hingham's threat and seemed to re- gard it as huge joke.
 Some time afterward word reached Commissioner Gunst that Langford :aild several of his fellow officers were in the habit of visiting a saloon at Bush and Montgomery streets and nightly enjoying a repast. Gunst not flied Captain Whitman, and they de- -cided to visit the place at an oppor- tune time Langford was informed of the intended visit, and he kept away from the saloon. His companions, however, were caught, and after being tried for the offense, were fined $100 each. Notwithstanding that Langford was not present when the famous raid was made, Whitman decided to prefer charges against him. He was acquitted by the Commissioners after a trial, but warned to keep out of sa- looms while on duty. His friends. who were aware of his financial troubles, expected that he would do something desperate.

THE PARKS ELK SHOT.
a .Fiend Ends the Life of the Noble Animal With Pistol Shot.


 The big elk that for several years has been. the pride of the keeper of the deer paddock at Golden Gate Park is dead. :.The noble animal was shot by some per son. that the park officials would give a good deal to know. The elk was splen- . did specimen of it's species, and it was always much admired by visitors to the : big recreation ground. The shot that killed the animal was not heard by any Of the park attendants The dead animal was found soon after daybreaK yesterday and its body was then quite warm, show ing that the deed was done by the fend early in the morning. The bullet that ended it's life pierced its heart, showing that the act of the miscreant was a de- uberate one.
 Several years ago a male and female elk were purchased by the Park Commis- siopers and the two animals soon became the pets of the park visitors. About two years ago the female elk died and for months the male was melancholy over the loss of his companion.

"The promiscuous cutting and slashing of freight rates,'' he says, which Is. detri-- mental to the best interests not only of the railroads, but also of the merchants, will undoubtedly cease after the deliber- ations of the association, and look for the troublesome question. Of course ac- cusations of all kinds will be made at the meeting. One road will charge an- other with having cut rates in the past. vein. but the end of 1t will be that we will all agree to stick to the existing schedule and promise to sin no more. The business of the meeting will be confined 10 the discussion of freight rates alone, and all other questions will be excluded entirely.
