SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Causes the Death of One Man and
the Wounding of Two Women.

OAKLAND, Aug. S.-A sensational
crime was perpetrated in this city to-
night resulting in the death of one man
and the wounding of two women.
Frank II. Cheeseman, carpenter and
painter residing in South Berkeley,
went to the house of Henry Brooke
near the corner of Alice and Seventh
streets, in Oakland, to call on Miss Eta
Payne. who is Brooke's stepdaughter
Cheeseman had been attentive to the
young lady, but had been forbidden to
come to the house.
In answer to his knock the door was
opened by Mr.. Brooke, who refused him
admission. Without a word of warn
ing Cheeseman drew a revolver and
shot pOintblank at Brooke. The wound
ed man retreated a few steps and fell
dead
The murderer pushed by the body of
his victim and passed through the
house to the kitchen, where he found
Miss Payne. She screamed as he ap-
peared in the doorway, and drew her
mother to the scene. The frenzied man
fired first at the young woman, who
had discarded his affections, striking
her in the thigh. He then turned his
pistol on Mrs. Brooke, shooting her in
one leg. Both of these wounds proved
to be slight.
Cheeseman. without looking to see
the effect of his work, rushed from the
house, and for a time it was thought
he had escaped. Two hours later, how
ever, he was captured and lodged in
Jail.
The murderer has a criminal record,
10 " nj cd ia

of the so-called Jack the Ripper

but pleaded insanity, and was sent to

leased as cured. Boil before and after
this time he attempted suicide, and two
years ago was written up in one of the
papers as The man who had tried to
kill himself eight times. but failed"

anything Of that sort you do most
cruel injustice to a man who has never
sought favor or applause in any other
way than by the simple discharge of
his duty
Discussing. evidently, a complaint be-
cause the fleet did not capture the
harbor of Porto Rico, Secretary Long
says: The department, which has very
rarely interfered with the movements
of Admirals, commanding squadrons,
did. however, make one express order,
and that was that our battleships
should not be exposed to the risk Of
serious injury from the fire of any
fort"
This order, he adds, was made while
the strong Spanish fleet was in exist
ence, and the movement to Porto Rico
was to meet if possible, the Cervera
fleet There was no intention of TAX
ing Porto Rico at that time, without
the cooperation of the army.
AS to the sending OF the fleet into the
harbor of Santiago, the Secretary states
hat Admiral Sampson was acting un-
der explicit orders not to expose his
armored ships to the risk of sinking by
mines.
Secretary Long writes at length Of
the arduous duties which have devolved
upon Admiral Sampson as commander
of the squadron, calling attention 10
the elaborate instructions which the
Admiral had given for the attack upon
the Spanish fleet should it appear, and
he adds that the battle with Cervera
was fought under these orders, and
hn tatn ha -
ton of the Admirals thorough prep
aration.
Secretary Long says he can we'll un-
derstand why the friends of other Off
GERS should be so enthusiastic and earn
est in their behalf-for he says every
one of them richly deserves the credit
for his glorious workout he says he
cannot understand why such a bitter
feeling is manifested in many quarters
toward Admiral Sampson, when all
these subordinate officers to him in
their reports. clearly and cordially rec
ognize the fact that, although at the
beginning he was, by orders from
Washington, going to confer with Cen
eral Shafter, yet the battle was fought
under his orders and were the consum-
nation of such thorough preparation
The Secretary adds: Il can think
Of nothing more cruel than the depreca-

Boston Ideals Gave the Final Con-

Boston Ideals Gave the Final Con-
cert OF the Season.
The fifth and, for this season, the last of
the Y. M. c. A. star course of entertain
ments was given at the Guards hall last
night. the Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin
and Guitar Club was the attraction.
The club is composed of Messrs. Lam
sing, GaAncias Babb, Shattuck and Robin
son, and 1t Is enough praise to say that
they are masters of their instruments.
Owing to the very disagreeable weather
the audience was not as large as usual,
but it made up in enthusiasm what it
lacked in numbers. Encores were the or
der rather than the exception. Mr.. Lam
sing alone responded TO three in succession.
The dampness made the instruments diff
cult to keep in tune, but this was rene
died by tuning. between numbers.
While the programme as whole con-
tains mostly popular numbers, the players
are equally well qualified to play more
pretentious music, as some of the encores
showed. The following is the programme:
"El Captain March, Romanza, Sueno
d'Amour and recall piece. by The club.
Golden Robin" "Old Folks at Home"
and, as an encore, Traumerei, by Mr..
Lansing, banjo, and Mr. Galencia. gui-
tar
Grand Galop de Concert" and Indian
War Dance" the latter being a kind of
musical episode, introducing Tom-toms,
Indian Gourd, Apache scalp song, etc.
The applause after this piece was almost
vociferous, and the club responded with
medley of coon" songs and the Chinese
Serenade."
The trick banjo duet of Messrs. Shat
tuck and Babb, was so well received that
they were forced to repeat it,
The next number was a negro chorus,
sung by the club. AS an encore ma Ange-
line" was sung.
Intermezzo and the Pique Dame over
ture; and the Flying Yankee and old time
dances comprised the next two numbers,
after which Mr. Lansing, accompanying
himself on the banjo, sang a suffering
song and was compelled TO return three
times. singing with particular success an
eulogy on Boston Baked Beans and the
romance of Josiah and Miriah."
The rest of the programme consisted Of
'Infanta March," Belle of the Cake
walk" Bella Mazurka," 'The Life of
Love Is But a Day." and minstrel echoes.
Aftersthe performance the club was en-
tertained at the Chatham Artillery Hall,
which is sufficient guarantee of good
time.
This has been quite successful season

REV. DR.. WHITES SERMONS.
Two DiscOurses Delivered at Yester-
days Services.

TWO DfscOurses Delivered at Yesfer-
days Services.
The sermon of DR.. j. F. White at the
First Baptist Church yesterday morning
was one of great force and simplicity. His
subject was THE Secret of a Beautiful
and Useful Lifes' He took PauIss letter
10 the church at Ephesus as the basis of
his remarks. The epistle contains two
great thoughts. he said The blessings in
Christ. These blessings are entered into
through the Holy Spirit He spoke of the
blessings of assurance, access to the Faith
er, increase in spiritual strength and pow
er for service. He said we might know
that we were filed and prepared for ser
vice if we had singing heart, thankful
heart, a submissive heart and a rightly
adjusted life. These thoughts, he said
had up to the climax of the epistle which
describes the Christian armour.
DR.. Whites morning sermons are spe-
cially adapted to help Christians In an in
crease of faith, in fervent zeal and in in
telligent and helpful Christian living. He
shows in every sermon diligent and accu-
rate preparation, a clear insight into hui
man nature and a thorough understanding
of the great doctrines of grace.
The weather very much reduced the at
tendance last night. Dr. White never let's
bad weather discourage him, though He
says Gods work is never hindered by God s
providenees. The night subject was
Prayer" He said he would not waste
time on bubbles about prayer. When a
hungry child goes to father or mother
for a piece of bread 1t is not disposed to
quibble about the philosophy Of it. So
the hungry soul comes to God to ask for
a blessing and not TO bubble. God answers
prayer very. quickly sometimes-often the
answer comes back quicker than you could
get an answer to telegram. Our prayers
are not answered because we do not ask
Alright e Let us ask for great things. 1t
is not asking God to do too much to SIX
him TO convert Savannah. If Gods peo-
pie will only do their duty he will save
the sinners of Savannah.
"Why does God answer prayer" he ask
ed. Because we are his children through
Christ, and the Lord cares for his chill
dren. Christ is our mediator and interces-
sor, and he prays for US and the Father
will hear his Son in our behalf. Then the
Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groan-
ings that cannot be uttered The Father
knows our great need, and He can make
us rich without impoverishing himself"
There were four professions of faith at
the night service
