MEN TURN PALE, WOMEN FAINT Turmoil at a Meeting of the Village Belle
 Circle. The Treasurer Threatens to Kill the Chief Com
 panion.
An Investigation Into the Treasnrer's Accounts the Cause of the
 Trouble.

There was an exciting time at the meeting of the Village Belle Circle. Companions of the Forest, Friday night in the Alcazar building.
 Edward P. Donovan, 265 Harriet street, was recently elected chief com panion, and upon his induction into of flee he decided on making an investiga- tion into the accounts of the treasurer and financial secretary, J. G. Chase, a carpenter and builder on Larkin street, near Vallejo. At his suggestion an au- diting committee was appointed, which reused the ire of Chase. The commit tee commenced their investigation, and Donovan, on receiving a partial report. became convinced that something was wrong.
 During the meeting Friday night Donovan called upon Chase to produce some vouchers. Chase jumped to his feet, called Donovan a vile name, and quickly put his hand in his hip pocket. He threatened to kill Donovan and a wild scene followed. A number of lad ies belong to the circle and several were present at the meeting. Chase's words and actions filled them with ter TOT, and their screams could be heard all over the building as they made a 
 was so great that two of them fainted, which added to the excitement.
 The men were calmer and several of them made a grab for Chase and held him till Donovan got out of the way. The meeting broke up in disorder, as bloodshed was feared if Donovan re- turned.
 Yesterday morning Donovan appeared before Judge JoachimSen and SWore out a warrant for the arrest of Chase on the charge of threats to kill. He had not got over his excitement, and it was evident that his nerves had received a severe shock. He told the Judge that he firmly believed Chase would carry out his threat to kill him, and he wanted him bound over to keep the peace.
 '"The investigation must go on," said Donovan, ''and it won't do for this man to try and prevent it by threatening to take my life. I am certain something Is wrong, and his conduct last night has simply made me more convinced of the fact"

Dr. BaZet him self was prevented from entering the management for three years solely be- cause he had an American diploma. r. A. Bergerot was the man who opened the hospital doors to doctors with Amer ican diplomas and the faculty comprises: pr. Bazet, who is also president of the San Francisco Polyclinic; pr. Orella, as- slstant surgeon, who is a graduate of Cooper College and a native son; Dr. Neo Neumark, an American and con neeted with the San Francisco Polyclinic; pr. Hayes, an American, appointed on the recommendation of Dr. Bazet; three internes, Drs. Burges, Putnam and Allen, all American doctors, Oscar J. Mayer, gyrecologist, graduate of German uni versity. Thus out of the eleven doctors at the hospital seven have American di- plomas, two French, one German and one Austrian, effectually disposing of the charge of anttAmericansm.
 Attorney Bergerot states that the fight is being made by lImparcial in the inter est of a certain candidate for the presi- dency of the hospital, supported by Mir Marque and a few other Chauviuistic gen. tlemen who are opposed to everything that is American"

 The other day one of our city's promi- nent divines, presuming on the priv sent up his card to lady living in one of the 'city's prominent hotels and was told to come up to the room.
 The lady, a bright society woman of unquestioned taste and breeding has no particular love for ministers under any circumstances. So when this particular dominic came into the room and catch ing sight of a book bearing the name of Zola on the cover began to read her a lecture on the literature she used the hostess lost all patience, and turning to her visitor said.

CIGAR DEALERS
 IN DIFFICULTY A Pennsylvania Firm Sues for the Recovery of a Large
 Sum. Peculiar Phase of the Situation Suspicious Transfer of
 Property.

Harold Bros, dealers in cigars and to- bacco, 103 Front street, were attached late Friday afternoon by I. w. Sny- der upon an assigned claim from Oblong Bros, Philadelphia, Pa., for cigars and tobacco sold and delivered by them with in the past year.
 The Philadelphia firm, not receiving a remittance, became suspicious and sent d representative to make an inyestiga- tion, which resulted in his finding that property formerly in the name of Frank and W. F. Harold had been either trans ferred or that a homestead had been filed thereon. Property in Mill Valley has been eleeded to George Harold, and the book accounts to a mother of the members of the firm All of these transactions are of recent date, and by the attorneys of the plaintiffs, Walter H. Linforth and Grove F. Whitaker, are looked upon with sus- picion.
 A peculiar phase of the situation is that, notwithstanding the fact that the attachment is for large amount ST. 64s. there seemingly is only one creditor. An effort, therefore, to force the firm into insolvency would fail, as it would require the petition of at least five cred itors The parties making the attach ment will necessarily be compelled to al- lege fraud to have the assignment of book accounts, the filing of homesteads and deeding of property set aside. That this course will be pursued is intimated by the attorneys for the plaintiffs.

GOLD MOUNTAIN MINES.
Survey Made For a Road From the
Annie Laurie to the Railroad.

Captain Timothy Egan, manager of
the Golden Eagle mine in Gold Noun
tain district, has returned home from
been for the purpose, as previously
ing in making survey for a wagon
road from the Annie Laurie mill down
Mill creek and over the Narrows to the
railroad at the Sewer Y.
This survey, according to the cap
tain, has been made and now bids are
being solicited at Richfield for its con-
struction, the line being about four
miles in length, and it will not be long
now before the mines of Gold Mountain
will be much more accessible than for
merly.
During his absence the captain Wis
tied the Golden Star mine and sent in a
carload of good gold ore from this
promising property, which, he says, is
In a most encouraging condition, and
he further states that during the season
1t is the intention to make at least two
carload shipments monthly, the next
lot to be ready for the Salt Lake. mar
ket by the 18th of next month.
The captain also made a visit to the
new strike on the Annie Laurie, which
is about a quarter of a mile from the
Golden Star workings, and he says
that the owners of this ground have a
magnificent showing, the vein being
very large, while running through it
there is a body of hot stuff that will
bring goodly margin on the market
after paying all mining and transporta-
ton charges.

over the showing in this prospective

Things for the future. The ore zone is
averaging about 80 ounces silver and

experience has been that the chemicals
do not begin to act on the metals to
their full strength until the treatment
has been repeaed for the fourth or
fifth time, and in this connection it
might be well to state that fire assays
have been eschewed by the doctor. who
obtains his results by what he terms

much of the values escape in the fumes

CARELESS of the fact that the admission
could only be legitifnately accomplished
by treaty.
In conclusion, Mr.. Caffery again re-
ferred to the interest of the sugar
trust in the pending resolution.
1T has been said that the sugar trust
is opposing the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands," said he. Now, if
there is anything that is perfectly clear
to me, 1t is that the sugar trust wants
annexation. The charge that it is in
any way opposing annexation, to my
mind, is not well sustained. What the
sugar trust wants is raw cane sugar
free Of any duty, and annexation will
give them the Hawaiian product free
The sugar is brought to San Francisco
and there refined by the trust. The re-
fined product is not made In Hawaii
Mr.. Gallery further maintained that
the sugar trust controlled the market
for raw sugar, and that annexation
would fasten firmly its hold upon the
market in this country. AT sos p. M,
Mr.. Gallery having concluded, the SEN
ate, on motion of Mr.. Davis, in charge
Of the resolution, went into executive
session, and at %. M adjourned.
