 Gustave Jahnigan, bartender, died at the Piedmont baths early this morning under peculiar circumstances. He was resting on a marble slab after taking a Hammam bath, and was found deaa by an attendant. For a few days Jahnigan has been absent from his work.
 After leaving the hot room at the baths, James Gouterman proposed to rub Jahni- gan down, but the latter said he preferred to rest on the slab and would call the attendant when he needed him. As no call came, Gouterman went to Jahnigan, and found him dead. The body was re- moved to the Morgue.
 Jahnigan was 4S years of age, and a popular member of the A. O. U. W. One of his sons recently enlisted, and is now waiting for a call to the front.
 Alter the booy was removed to the Morgue Coroner Baldwin was greatly surprised to find that the skin was burned so severely that it would peel off. No autopsy was held, but the organs were found in a healthy condition and there was nothing to indicate the cause of death.
 T intended to hold an autopsy to- night" said Coroner Baldwin, but after closely examining the body 1 decided that it is scarce calling for a thorough exam ination. There Is no organic disease that may have caused death, so l suppose it was caused either by the great heat of the bath which has burned the body so poison. I have sent the stomach to Pro lessor Colly at the State University for analysis, and have set the inquest for next Tuesday night"

WILLOWS FROM ASIA MINOR. Successful Experiments With Phe- nomenally Fast Growing
 Salixes at Chico.

BERKELEY, May 27.-At the Chico forestry station of the agricultural de- partment of the State University the suc- cessful experiment has been made of in- troducing new species of rapid d-growing willow from Asia Minor. Six-inch cut tings of the new tree-the Salix salmonei at the end of thirty-one months (ten months in the nursery and the remaining twenty-one months in a grove) reached the height of 32 feet The circumference of its branches 12 feet The wonderful quickness of this growth Is realized when compared with that of the common bas- ket willow, which in the same period reached a height of IF feet, with girth of inches and spread Of feet. some day" declares Inspector Charles H. Shinn of the experiment stations, flor fuel, for fence posts, for charcoal and for manu- featuring purposes, the new species or saliX which we have succeeded in intro ducing will become of great commercial importance.
 Experiments with eucalypti and acacias at the Chico station have not met with blue gum variety were killed by the frost, and the only hardy varieties or the eu- calyptuS which seemed able to endure were the viminalis, the genoides, the alpina and the Gunnei. Although gums of all varieties grow well in Southern Shinn has come to the conclusion that they are more adapted to the low-lying valley of the Sacramento. The growth of forest trees however, proves that the Chico district is as we'll adapted as any in the State to a great range Of declduouS and coniferous trees, and parucularly the oaks and ashes and other hardwood trees "

 A little notice stating that P. B. Chris finger, a resident of North Oakland had died, was sent to the newspapers last night.
 The notice was as follows: Died, P. c. Chrisipger. Wednesday evening, while at- tending a meeting of the Thirty-fourth Street Methodist Episcopal Church; be was called upon to give testimony and was stricken down and died suddenly. Cause, heart trouble. Arrangements for the funeral will be announced later"
 F. B. Chrisinger was one of the parties who signed the formal complaint against George Nall. superintendent of the church Sunday-school. which resulted in the re- cent sensational trial At this trial one of the most interested witnesses was Erasmus T. Leavell, an elderly man who, 1t is said, is responsible for the notices of Chrisinger's death. An investigation false. There was no meeting of the church Wednesday evening, and MT. Chrisinger Is at present alive and enjoy ing excellent health. He declares that the circulation of the death notice is a plot to bring him into an unpleasant compli- cation
 Chrisinger to-day. 1T certainly don't feel like corpse, nor can l understand what under the sun could set people to circu- lating such a story. I was at the prayer w dropped dead. I would like to know what MT. Leavell means. 1 suppose they are still trying to draw me into the church trouble. I was class leader there for two years, and while this church trial was in progress they were trying to drag me into it. One women said I had made the as- sertion that there was not adecent woman in the congregation. When she was called before the church committee to repeat it she said it was some other man that made the assertion. It happened that there were two ladies present when she said I had made the statement, and they were ready to testify I had said nothing of the kind.
 Now, I suppose, somebody wants to prejudice me in the church. l was wit ness at the recent trial and told just what I knew and no more. The matter now rests with the committee, and nobody knows what the decision will be-"
 In the meantime the other members in volved in the church scandal are trying to discover a reason for the circulation of the report of Chrisingers death. The bit- ter feeling engendered since the filing of the complaint is growing rather than de- creasing, anditis not beyond the bounds of possibility that the unpleasant affair may yet have a tragic ending.

 Joseph Taylor was taken to the County Jail to-day charged with a serious crime. 1t Is alleged that some months ago he abducted young wife from Oakland for the purpose of placing her amid disrep- utable associates
 Two months ago Mrs. Lemery Struber, girl about F years of age, was taken by her husband to a lodging house not fitted for her as a dwelling. For this onense Struber was convicted of felony, and Is now spending three years in San Quentin. Not long after the trial the young wife's mother notified the police that her daughter had disappeared, and inquiry showed that a false subpoena to appear at an imaginary trial in Judge Gifts court had been served upon her. and that advantage had been taken of her leaving home to attend the court to ab- ouct her It was proved that there was no authority for issuing the subpoena, and no case in which the girl was wanted as a witness.

The young wife's brother swore out a warrant for the arrest of Taylor, charging him with abducting his sister for immoral purposes AS soon as the warrant was issued, Taylor disap- peareo, and he has not been seen until 8 couple of days ago. He then felt 1t safe to return, but only reached Oakland in time to be arrested. He was unable to account for his sudden flight, which is indicated as bearing out, in some meas ure, the suspicion of his guilt.
 Alter Taylor's disappearance, the girl was found in San Francisco and brought home, and 1t is presumed that she has confded in her brother, the prosecuting witness, who is responsible for her ab- duction.

SUDDEN DEATH IN BERKELEY
The Body of Professional Woman Nurse Found in the Cali
 fornia Hotel

BERKELEY, May 27.-Mrs. Mary Chat field, a professional nurse, aged about 50 years, was found dead this morning in a room of the California Hotel on the cor ner of Shattuck and University avenues Certain peculiar circumstances surround the death, which, however, was in all probability due to alcoholism. Yesterday afternoon the woman was brought to the hotel in a hack, while evidently under the influence of liquor. She threw herself upon the bed, where she lay groaning disregarding the chambermaid's sugges- tion that she disrobe and retire. Little attention was paid to her groans, as it was supposed that her conduct was due to drinking. This morning the groans had ceased, and when the room was entered the woman was found to be dead. The body was removed to the Berkeley Branch Morgue where an inquest will be held.
 The dead woman for some months past has been employed as nurse by Mrs. Kimball Easton of Jefferson and Eleventh streets, Oakland.
 For the past week she had been partially intoxicated, and yesterday MT. Easton discharged her and sent her to the California Hotel in Berkeley, where she had stopped on previous occasions. After she had left it was found she had consumed nearly a pint and a half Of which is necessary to produce death: Nothing was found about the person of the dead woman that would tend to in dicate suicide. Of her antecedents or associates almost nothing is known.
