MARRIED FAR
 OUT AT SEA A Young Fresno Couple Brave the Oceans
 Wrath.
Justice Bellrude of SauSalitc Performs the Marriage
 Ceremony.
B. L. Roberts and Miss Winnie Hanct Complete Their Romance on
 the Briny Deep.

Another love-sick couple has braved the oceans wrath in a small launch in order to avoid the law of the land and become man and wife.
 The couple came a long distance and with a spirit of romance to add to the novel experience of being wed by a depths of the ocean, they selected Washingtons birthday for the cere- mony.
 Bernard l.. Roberts and Miss Winnie B. Hance, both of Fresno, the former of the age of 25 and the latter 23, were the couple. They came all the way from Fresno to Sausalito, and the idea of getting married at sea was suggested to them by story published in The Call some months ago of similar kind.
 The objection to the pair getting married in California was on account of the law only recently passed to the effect that a divorced person shall not marry within a year from the date of the courts decree. It was only last January that Roberts secured divorce and so the regular channels were closed to his remarrying within year.
 The young couple came to Sausalito and hired the trim launch Gazette and put to sea with Justice Bellrude to per- form the ceremony.
 When the launch finally reached a point beyond the three mile limit the couple were not only love-sick but sea- sick. But the ceremony was soon over and the boat was turned again toward the shore
 After the landing at Sausalito was made the couple, happy in their joy, took the ferryb boat to the metropolis.

CHARLES HOFFMAN
 SAW THE REVOLVER
Cousin of Isaac Hoffman Gives Testimony in the Figel
 Case.
Witnesses Examined During the Day Tended to Show a Case of
 Suicide.

Judge Carroll Cook had sufficiently re- covered from his sudden illness yesterday morning to allow the defense in the Figel case to proceed. Many witnesses were examined during the day, and the testi- mony given, in answer to questions put by General Barnes for the defense, tended to show that Isaac Hoffman had taken his own life on the evening of June l.
 Charles Hoffman was the first witness called and said under cross-examinati ton that he had seen the pistol with which the shooting was done in a drawer in Mr. Hoffman's desk during the latter part of the month of May. Under cross-examina- ton 1t was eiicited that the witness had seen the revolver In the drawer about a week prior, to the death of Isaac Hoff- man.
 The witness was slow in making replies to questions put to him and stated that, although he was cousin of the deceased merchant, he had not read the accounts of either the Morgue or Police Court pro- ceedings, and he further stated that he had not heard report that it was in- timated that Isaac Hoffman had been as- sassinated. Following the examination the witness identified the pistol in evil dence and with which the shooting was done as the one he had seen in the drawer during the latter part of May.
 .. w. BaSsett, who met Ffgel on the evening of June l on the corner of Mar ket and Battery streets, at 6:23 o'clock, was next called. and he stated that he had seen the defendant board car and start toward the ferry. The cross-exam- ination was lengthy and thorough con- corning his business relations with the firm of Hoffman, Rothchild & Co.,, and in reply to questions he brought forth a note book and showed an account entered on July g, 1896.
 At the opening of the afternoon session Bassett was recalled for further cross examination. He stated that his attention had first been called to the death of Isaac Hoffman by his wife showing him a pie ture of the defendant in a newspaper. He had known Figel was clerk employed by

EVERY CITIZEN
 SHOULD APPROVE
We Should All Give Our Moral and Financial Support to
 the Project.

ACHILLE ROOS-I amin favor of the semi-centennial exposition proposed to be held in this city in 1900 to commem- crate the fiftieth anniversary of the ad- mission of this glorious State into the Union, and I am of the opinion that the project should meet with the hearty appreciation of every citizen within it's borders. The very thought of it should cause us all to become en- thusiastic in it's support, and we should every one of us resolve to do whatever lies in our power to carry it to suc- cessful continuation.
 Words alone are of no use in adVanc- ing the best interests of so praise worthy an object but let us be known by our deeds in it's behalf. Let us all be ready to contribute not only our moral but our financial support to the venture. As soon as a subscription list is opened I will be ready to subscribe whatever amount would fairly be ex- pected of me and probably little more The benefits that California will experience from the exposition can not be overestimated, and therefore there should be no hesitation on the part of any public-spirited citizen to lend his best aid to the project, for we would all share equally in those benefits. 57

GLASS FOR DIAMONDS. Guy McCord, Proprietor of Poker Rooms, Arrested for Grand
 I,arcenv

Guy McCord, the proprietor of a poker room at 13 Third street, was arrested yes terday by Detectives Anthony and Crock ett on a charge of grand larceny.
 The complaining witness is Frances Carey, 251a Stockton street, who alleges that about month ago she became ac- quainted with McCord, and told him that she wanted some diamond rings altered to suit her finger, as they were too small. There was one ring with three diamonds, another with a large diamond. and a diamond stud, all valued at about $7OO McCord advised her to take them to Adolph Hoffman, jeweler at Third street, close to his poker rooms, and she did so.
 McCord went with her, and after she had left the articles to be altered he went to Hoffman and claimed they belonged to him. He asked Hoffman to take out the diamonds and substitute glass for them This was done, and when Miss Carey got back her rings and stud she did not know until day or two ago of the trick that had been played upon her. She com plained to Captain Bohen, and he detailed Anthony and Crockett on the case When they saw Hoffman he at once told them that McCord had ordered the glass to be substituted for the diamonds.

AN EXPOSITION
 WOULD ADVERTISE
By Concentration of Action 1t Should Be Made a Grand
 Success.

THOMAS J. WALSH, 733 Market street-By united action we should be able to hold an exposition that will prove a greater success than the Mid winter Fair. We all appreciate the great benefit derived from the Mid winter Fair. It advertised to the world our products and resources, and proved of lasting benefit to the State. An exposition on the lines suggested by The Call would prove far greater success. We have the promise of aid from neighboring States, and there is no reason why we should not be able to hold an exposition on the lines of the Trans Mississippi Congress at Omaha. It will of course, require considerable labor to perfect the project; but when every one is willing to put a shoulder to the wheel the work should be light. The fact that the Worlds Fair will also be held in 1900 should not deter us from entering into the movement with cour- age. Many who will be unable to visit Paris will come here and enjoy our hospitality and climate.

STORY OF A GREAT FEAT.
Through Driving Storm Papers Are Rapidly and Safely Conveyed
 to Subscribers.

Here Is the story in brief of the fastest run ever made between Tiburon and Ukiah. Taking on the papers from a swift tug. The Calls special train on the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad started on it's journey through Marin County at 4:15 o'clock yesterday morning Including several stops at drawbridges and water stations, the journey of over 106 miles to the metrop- oils of Mendocino County was made in two hours and f1fty-five minutes This clips just twenty minutes from the record previously held by The Calls specials, but when it is considered that the run was made in one of the heayi- est rain storms of the season, over slip pery tracks, and through one of the darkest nights in the history of Cali fornia, the performance would seem little short of a miracle.
 For varied scenic effects with its ever-changing panorama along the banks of the Russian River the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad has no equal in the United States. Bet ter still, the equipment, under the management of General Superintend- ent Whiting, is most thorough. The roadbed is so often inspected and the rolling stock kept up to such a high standard of perfection that accidents on the main line and its Sonoma branch are very rare indeed. In a great meas ure 1t was due to these facts and the proficiency of the company's employees that the record was broken yesterday.

MEETS FAVOR
 ON EVERY SIDE.
The Celebration Should Be One to Find a Place in State
 History.

FRANK J. CONNELLY, of the we'll known cigar manufacturing firm Of Lane & Connelly-I have just returned from an extended trip through the State On every side 1 heard words of encoura cement for the Semi-Cen- tennial Exposition in 1900, suggested by The Call The idea meets with gen. eral favor. We all must admit that California has been too long in the background in properly bringing at tention to her resources.
 The celebration of the golden we'd ding of California to this glorious Un- ion should be one that will find a place in the history of our State. We can surpass the success of the Mid winter Fair by united action. Let every one put a shoulder to the wheel and we can in 1900 give to the world an exposition that will bring thousands of visitors to our hospitable shores. Once we have them here, I am satis- fled the majority of them will re- main. Many who came simply to at- tend the Midwinter Fair made their home with us, so charmed were they by our climate and resources. If the Midwinter Fair was a success, what a greater success would be a semi-cen- tennial exposition.

There will be a meeting in the office of Mayor Phelan to-day to arrange the preliminary details of the exposition to be held In 1900 in commemoration of the fftieth anniversary of the admission of California into the Union. The pro- posed exposition suggested by The Call several days ago has met with general approval. Every one expressed a will ingness to assist in making it a greater success than the Midwinter Fair, and Mayor Phelan decided yesterday to is sue invitations to leading business and professional men to meet him to-day and discuss the matter.
 That the exposition will be of great benefit to the entire Pacific Slope is ad- mitted by all. The Midwinter Fair, in a measure, advertised our resources to the world The exposition of 1900 will do more, for we have the assurances of neighboring States that they will assist in making a grand display.
 All that is now required is concentra- ton of action. When the local commit tee gets to work the other counties of the State will chose their representa- tives or have them named by Governor Budd. Every county in California will have an opportunity to make an eX- hibdt of it's resources and products, and in addition the junior States admitted after California will make displays.
 It will require months of hard labor to carry out the project, but the prize to be gained is worthy of the time. The exposition will attract the attention of the world, and afford us an opportunity of showing our products in a manner never before attempted.

AN OLD PIONEER
 PASSES AWAY
After Brief Illness Death Claims Elcan Heyden-
 feldt.
Remains Inferred in the Family Plat in the Home of Peace
 Cemetery.

Elcan Heydenfeldt, brother of the late Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt and uncle of Judge Walter Levy, died Wednesday af- ternoon at the German Hospital and was buried yesterday from the undertaking parlors of Martin & Co, 11S Geary street. The body was inferred in the Heydenfeldt plot at the Home of Peace Cemetery.
 Deceased was native of Charleston, S. C., and was 75 years of age. He was i'll but few days, and the immediate cause of death was a severe cold that developed into pneumonia
 The late MT. Heydenfeldt was in the early days of this State a prominent jur- ist and judge in the Supreme Court. He was also a member of the Legislature.
 The deceased leaves two daughters, Mrs. William J. Dutton, wife of the prominent insurance man, and Mrs. Ber- lyman of Oakland.

 The witness stated that he had been sure of the time, as he had looked at his clock as Figel went out, and that there was nothing about the defendants ap- pearance unusual from that on former occasions on which he had been seen by the witness.
 H. H. Unger, employed in the establish ment of Heinemann & Co.,, 33-35 Battery street, stated that he had seen the de- fendant at 6:15 o'clock on the evening of June l. He had been in front of the store

 While the train was gliding past rich vineyards and their immense wineries, fertile hop fields and vast poultry farms and dairies, Conductor Henry Pfaff was actively aiding Assistant Mail Clerk D. Ellis In throwing off bundles of Calls for early delivery to eager subscribers.
 Now for a specimen of the speed att tained by the special. It is just sixteen miles from Petaluma to Santa Rosa. The distance was covered yesterday in fifteen and a half minutes. The last run to Ukiah was over a straight track and a solid roadbed, so the journey was concluded at the pace of over mile a minute. Six hours later the regular train arrived and a few copies of two San Francisco dailies were delivered to people who had read at their breakfast table all the news of the world in the San Francisco Call.
 The foregoing is a condensed record of only one remarkable trip of a Call special yesterday, but there wore sev- eral others, and they all speedily car ried The Calls to many important cen ters of the States population.

ADVANTAGES NOT
 TO BE DENIED
Have the Exhibits Confined to the Resources of CaIi-
 fOrnia Alone.

THOMAS KIRKPATRICK, president of the Jesse Moore-Hunt Company The advantages to be derived from an exposition of the kind contemplated by The Call cannot be denied by any man who has watched the good results ob- tained by former exhibitions that have been held throughout the United States on those lines Certainly 1t will dc the State a vast amount of good, and consequently the people will reap un- told benefits therefrom.
 I would be in favor of making 1t strictly a State affair; that is, let the exhibits be confined to the resources of California, which is big enough to pre- sent an exposition of the magnitude in tended, for in that way it would more fittingly carry out the idea of eel ebration of it's admission to the Union and make 1t essentially a home propo- sition. Let us show the world that we can give such an exposition, and, hay ing given it, we can be proud of the fact that the achievement was brought bout by our own efforts.

portant event. Such an exposition would not only be a great credit to our progressive spirit, but would unmls- takably rebound to the welfare or Call fornia. To my mind there IS not. d single argument that can possibly De advanced against the holding of the exposition, while on the other hand there are many reasons in favor of the proposition.
 The time will be ripe for an exposi- tion in 1900, and it is none too soon to commence laying out plans. for ] would like to see it develop into stu- penduous affair and one worthy of this great and growing State. Every one should assist in the worthy movement. for every one will derive some advan- tage, whether it be of financial or pleasurable character. I am most em- phatically in favor of the contemplateo exhibition and will do what l can t9 assist in bringing 1t to success1ui issue.

 Miss Lillie Cohen was next called and stated that she had seen MT. Hoffman standing with another man in front oI his store on the evening of June 1. The that the defendant was not the party she had seen standing and talking with Isaac Hoffman. The witness was not certain as to the time she had left the store of Heineman & Co.,. where she has been en- ployed for over four years. Miss Cohen will be recalled to the stand at 10 o'clock this morning.

 Let it be an exposition on the lines of the Trans s-Mississippi Congress to be held next summer at Omaha. We have the assurances of the Governors of neighboring States that they are in &C., cord with the movement, and I cannot see any obstacle in the way of holding an exposition that would prove of bene- fit to the entire Pacific Coast. The com mittee to take the matter in hand should be composed of citizens who will enter into the project with the proper spirit. Of course the exposition will mean considerable labor for the direc- tors, but the success to be achieved will far exceed the trouble in the lasting benefits secured to California and our neighboring sister States

is better for the temporary improve ment.
 We would probably be minus the for eign exhibitors which we had at the Midwinter Fair, but that would give us a grand opportunity to have an ex- position distinctively American in char acter and should on that account excite not only the patriotism but the undi vided interest of every true American citizen.
 Let the good work begin right away, and let us have an exposition in 1900 that will excite the admiration of every one who has the good fortune to wit ness 1t,

an exposition in 1900 to properly com- memorate the mi-centennial anni- versary of the admission of California into the Union. We have been too slow in advertising to the world the wonderful resources of our State. The Midwinter Fair, notwithstanding the predictions of many, proved a greater success than was anticipated by the most sanguine of the directors. If the exposition is managed by people of spirit and enterprise there is no req son why we should not be able to make it far greater success than the Mid winter Fair.
