IGNORING THE
 DEAD JURIST Marks Of Respect Generally Paid to the Memory of
 Judge Campbell.
Euloqistic Tributes Showered on the Magistrates Nan1e-The Widow
 Frustrated.

The expressions of sorrow around the Police Courts yesterday over the death of Judge Campbell were universal. Judge Conlan is away on his vacation, but Judges Joachimsen and Low met at 10 o'clock in the morning and the latter was made presiding Judge.
 Judge Low at once went to the late Judges court, and after calling it to or der Prosecuting Attorney Spinetti ad- dressed the court and, after announcing the death of Judge Campbell, moved that an adjournment be taken in respect to the memory of the dead jurist. Judge Low then ordered all the cases on the call endar continued until to-day and the court adjourned.
 As yet no arrangements for the funeral have been made. The widow of the ue- ceased is prostrated with grief over the sudden taking off of her husband.
 The funeral services will be under the auspices of the South San Francisco Ma sonic Lodge, and the interment may take place Friday or Saturday but possibly not before Sunday.
 As soon. as Mrs. Campbell receivers suf- ficiently from her illness she will con4er with her nephew, Archie Campbell, and the Masonic lodge, and the arrangements will be completed.
 It is believed that a successor to Judge Campbell will be appointed Immediately. While it was contended by some that the Governor has the power to fill the va cancy, those most conversant with the law state that the appointing power lies with the Board of Supervisors, and the latter contention is undoubtedly correct. But little difficulty in finding an available candidate will be met with.
 It is said that Dr. w. J. Gavigan has already been decided upon. His friends worked until late last night in his behalf, and although many prominent politicians are seeking the position made vacant by death Dr. Gavigan, his friends are cer- tain, will be appointed.
 At meeting of the Phoenix Republican Club held last night resolutions of con dolence for the sorrowing family of the deceased were passed, and the club soon after adjourned out of respect for the dead.

IN
 WHEAT CIRCLES Yesterdays Trading in Local Market the Largest in
 Years. Higher Liverpool and Paris Quota tions Fail to Hold
 Prices.

Wheat in the local market took sud- den break of cents yesterday in the face of higher Liverpool and Paris cables The recent rains have tempered the trade to bearishness. The opportunity seemed to present itself at the opening, when of ferings became heavy. Shortly after the trade began it was apparent that a large line of long wheat was about to be thrown overheard. The bears were not slow in sizing up the situation. As soon as this particular selling started it was the cue for severe hammering. December wheat dropped from TO to 164. Cutter & Moseley sold fully 10000 tons during the days trad ing. The offerings were absorbed by the shorts, who were anxious to fill their con- tracts Later in the day new life came into the market and the price hardened to 166A- Barley suffered a decline of cents. caused by liquidation. Heavy receipts of Oregon barley acts as a depressing in- fluence.
 Bresse was the heaviest buyer of wheat on the break. Kaufman also bought freely.

CELTIC UNION FAIR.
Preparations for the Benefit of the
 Irish Hall Nearing Completion.

A most enthusiastic meeting of the Celtic Union was held last evening at Knights of the Red Branch Hall. on OFarrell street. Colonel Thomas F. Barry presided, and fully 100 members. representing all of the twenty societies in the union, were in evidence to attest to the deep interest taken by the Irish men of this city in the proposed Irish fair for the benefit of the Celtic Union Hall.
 Jeremiah Deasy. chairman of the exec utive committee of the fair, and Mana ger Buckley made reports on the progress of the work. A number of letters were read from prominent citizens who had been invited to serve on the honorary board, all willingly accepting and ex- pressing hearty sympathy in the work and a firm belief that the big fair could not help but be successful and net a considerable amount of money for the cause.
 Mayor Phelan consented not only to permit his name to be used, but ex- pressed a desire to assist by active work, and he will probably be called upon to form the committee and organize it as chairman. Among others that accepted the honor were the following. Colonel E. A. Denicke president of the Mechanics Institute; Hon. Tirey L. Ford; Hon Jo- seph Leggett; Joseph A. Stulz. president of the Grocers' Association; Mrs. Mary T. Newton. Hon. c. l.. Harrington, John H. Spohn, James A. Barry, J. J. Dono- van, Andrea Sbarboro. J. F. Dignan, Frank Conklin and others.

DOLLAR GAS IS 4 GREAT FAV0RITE The Equitable COmpany's Of- fees Are Overrun With
 Citizens.
They Readily Sign Contracts That Will Not Expire for Five
 Years.

There seems to be a great deal of in- terest in this city in the operations or the Equitable Gas Company, a new or ganization, which Is taking contracts to supply the people of San Francisco with gas for light and fuel for s1 per thousand cubic feet.
 The offices of the new company are in the Mills building, where they are now taking contracts to supply residents with gas at the rate named. The company agrees to supply the gas at the reduction for the period of five years, and to supply it at a cheaper rate if other companies reduce the cost of gas in this city The consumer agrees to use no other gas for the same period, and to use 1t for that period if he resides in the city for that length of time.
 Thousands of contracts have already been signed, and there is an influx of people at the offices each day gathering details of the plans of the company. Among other things. the prospectus Of the company sets forth the following facts:
 This company will supply the best and cheapest light and fuel gas in the world. It is made by a process owned exclusively by the Equitable Gas Light Company, for the city and county of San Francisco. It has been tested by the best gas experts in America, In comparison with gases made by all the large gas companies in ington, Baltimore and other cities, and it has been proven over and over again to be incomparably the cheapest and best gas known. The citizens of San Fran cisco have many times been promised cheap and good gas, and have in every instance been disappointed. They know the influences which have always kept back and denied this great boon to the public This time, however, they will not be disappointed
 It will be some months before the works will be complete, but there Is no delay in the work of gaining consumers sigma lures. Each day sees a long addition to the list of names.

GAVE 4 CARNIVAL
 OF FISTICUFFS Western Addition Clubs Suc- cessful Opening at Frank
 lin Hall. One Battling Bout and Two De- cided Knockouts-A Disap-
 pointnent

The Western Addition Athletic Club gave its first entertainment last evening in Franklin Hall, 1889 Fillmore street. The officers are deserving of unstinted praise for the very excellent manner in which the exhibition was carried out. ly boxing bouts, vocal and instrumental music helped materially to make the oc- casion one. of enjoyment. a, Q
 The hall was comfortably filled at s o'clock, when the grand master Of cere- monies, R. Snowgrass, introduced the first brace of fistic artists.
 fare was a three-round bout between M. Meyer of the California Swimming Club was followed by three-round contest be- tween H. Mclaughlin and J. Porter. A four-round .'go" between Young" Peter Jackson and Jimmy Reilly was quite in- teresting, as Jackson cut out a hot pace. Jack McDivitte and Tom Devine caused much laughter by a clever burlesque tbree-round bout
 Frank Shuler and F. Mccarthy boxed cleverly for three rounds.
 The next, and what really should have four-r6und four tnr .go'' between wee Gene Mulligan. the "red-headed" hurricane puncher of the Manhattan Athletic Club. and Jack King (unattached): King was several inches taller than his opponent, but never theless he failed in the attempt to bring Mulligan to terms. The stocky little fcl- low put up great fight, and excepting
 
 King, Mullgan had the better of the argument
 It was cut and slash in the second round. and both of the men went to their corners pretty well done up. In the third round, Mulligan, who takes a special delight in scrapping, went ct King hammer and tongs, and after some very hot exchanges he dropped King with a straight right on the jaw The receiver, who was hit when leaning against the ropes, fell forward his face striking the floor with effect. He was up, though, before time was called on him only to be sent down again, where he remained until counted out.
 The last and final event of the evening was to have been an eight-round contest between Al O'Neil and Fred Trenman, who was unable to secure a match until last night. Sufficient to say that Tren- man proved himself to be pronounced dub" and his successful opponent was by no means "calker,' although he dis posed of the champion amateur of Mass achusetts'' in the fourth round by putting him to sleep with right smash in the nose.
 The entertainment was, however, a great success and to the credit of the officers, as follows: President J. Denis. vice president, T. Dixon; manager, Will liam Laib; treasurer c. Roach; financial secretary, Fred Woerner recording sec- retary, R. Snowgrass; captain, B. Jacobs; assistant captain, J. Shehan. Jesse Marks, who was present, enjoyed the sport hugely.

HANNA VOTED DOWN.
His Efforts to Keep Control of Indiana
Organization Fail.

Indianapolis, Feb. 10.-National Re
publican Chairman Mark Hanna has
been turned down for the first time in
Indiana. The state committee
elected Charles S. Hernley of New
Castle for state chairman. After his
e ection Chairman Hernley announced
his platform as follows:
First-The republicans of Indiana
must no longer be under the guardian
ship of an Ohio boss.
Second-The campaign in this state
this year must be made on the sound
money issue.
Third-Gen Harrison will be invited
to return to the councils of the party
and will be invited to sound the "key
note for the coming campaign.
Chairman Hernley's election once
more insures party harmony in Indi-
ana, which has been lacking ever since
Hanna's agents captured the state con-
vention for Mckinley and deliberately
snubbed Gen. Harrison in the subse-
quent campaign. The new secretary
of the state committee will be Samuel
H. Spooner of indianapolis and the
treasurer will be Harry T. Bennett, al
so of this city.

THE OTHER CATHOLIC SCHOOL.
Plattsburg Institution to be Doomed in
Many Ways.

Plattsburg, n. Y, Feb. 1.-THE
Catholic summer school, held at Cliff
Haven, near here on Lake Champlain,
was such a pronounced success last
year that it is to be very much en-
Iarged in scope this year. The trustees
have decided to add to the lecture
courses many new subjects along uni
versity extension lines and to increase
the accommodations for support and
the opportunities for sport. Indeed,
the school has a social as we'll as an
educational aspect, an aim being to
bring together church families from
principal large cities. To this end
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
other cities, taking action through
their local Roman Catholic clubs, have
erected cottages named for their
cities. Several new ones are to be
built, and the session is to be opened
with a demonstration, when excur-
sions will be run from as far west as
Indianapolis and Chicago. An effort
is making to raise an endowment fund
for the support Of the educational fea-
lures.

is HE CHRIS MERRY'S SON?
Chicago Police and Old Mrs. Merry
in a Dispute.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-As if small Chris
Merry had not suffered enough in see
ing his father murder his mother and
living the rest OF his life with this
terrible memory, he now has to be
quarreled over. This baby, for he is
scarcely more, has mad to relate time
and time again the last horrible mo-
ments of his poor mother until they
are so impressed upon his little mind,
that he continually wants to talk about
that awful night in last November.
The police, who had this boy at the
station, declare that if he is allowed
to go to his grandmother home moth
ing can save him from the criminal
, class from which he has sprung And
/ then, as though to clinch their argu-
ment, Capt. Wheeler's men declare
that Chris Merry, the murderer, is not
the father Of Chris Merry. They pro-
vide parent in the form of James
Mauer, former husband Of Mrs. Mer-
~. Mauer is a convict in a peniten-
tiary in Iowa.
