declaration that she separated from

FRANEY DIES.
The Pugi1ist Knocked Out by Nc
Connell Passed Away.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-J1m
Franey, the welterweight pugilist who
was knocked out by Frank Mcconnell
at Woodwards Pavilion last night, died
at the Receiving Hospital this after
noon, without recovering consciousness.
Mcconnell, the seconds of both prin-
cipals, referee Hiram Cook, j. j..
Groom and J. D. Gibbs, the promoters
of the fight, were all placed under ar
rest to-day and released on bail.
Whether the death dealing blow was
the right hand swing on the vulnerable
point of the chin or the impact with
the head on the ring floor is a doubtful
question, which may never be solved.
The physicians who attended Franey
during his last hours will not venture
a positive opinion, declaring that either
the blow or fall may have produced the
concussion which resulted in death.
Franey's death was unattended with
any final agony. About noon he began
to show signs of the approaching end.
Three hours later he was stretched out
on the hospital cot dead.
Mcconnell suffered great mental an
guish when he learned of Franey' S
death. II don't know how it happened" :"
he said. Il did not hit any extraordi-
nary blows, catching him a couple of
times in the last rally. 1t must have
been the fall that was the cause of his
DEATH"
Referee Cook is also of the opinion
that Franey was killed by the fall, and
not by McConnells knockout blow.

Judgment Affirmed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 17.-Under
the Act of 1880 the city of Los Angeles
annexed portion of the adjoining ter
ritory in 1896. The Vernon School Dis
trict brought action to quiet title to
school property within the territory an

the property of the district became the
property of the municipality upon an
nexation. This judgment the Supreme
Court has affirmed, holding that while
it is not questioned that the school
system of the annexed district came
under the control of the municipal
board of education, SO the school prop
erty also passed to the care and con-
troll of the board and through it to the

Crocker touching the relations which he
proposes TO establish between himself
and those grape-growers who are also
wine makers, and having listened to
the explanation made by Mr.. Crocker
of that circular, we are satisfied that
the interests of the winemakers win be
fully protected thereby, and we do
hereby urge upon all grape growers to
accept and sign the contract.

FORCIBLY REMOVED.
Board of Education's Action in the
Case of Mrs. Beanston.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-For five
days Mrs. George A. Beanston, a teach
er in the Hawthorne Primary School,
has been defying the authority of the
Board of Education, and in conse-
quence she was forcibly removed to-
day from her school by Secretary Simp-
son and two police officers, acting un-
der instructions from President Ber-
gerot.
The board in June adopted a rule de-
elaring vacant the position of female
teachers who thereafter married. Dur
ing the vacation this summer Miss z.
L. Wholley became Mrs. Beanston, but
ignoring the regulations, she continued
to teach, and refused to surrender the
place, even after her successor was
appointed to fill the vacancy.
After her ejectment to-day she tenn
porarily gave up the fight, but says
she will bring suit to compel the Board
of Education to reinstate her.

IMPORTANT OPINION.
Which May Prove of Interest to
Sheriffs of the State.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IAN
opinion of Importance to every Sheriff
in the State was handed down to-day
by Attorney General Tirey L. Ford.
An inquiry came from Los Angeles
County as to where the Sheriff should
look for the payment of the charges for
the transportation of insane persons in
his custody. 1t frequently hapnens
that these officers have to convey per-
sons of unsound mind long distances TO
insane asylums, to which the unfortu-
mates are committed, and the bills for
transportation often amount to con-
siderable sums. The question was
whether the mileage should be paid
by the county or the State. The mat
ter was submitted to the Attorney Sen
eral who replied that under the stat
ute these expenses mentioned should
be paid by the State.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to
the Morning Post" from Rennes indl-
Gates the activity of the censorship
there. General Merciers insulting ref
erences to Emperor William making
certain illusions to the secret doss1er
were suppressed, while General Mer-
ciers utterances were toned down.
The evidence yesterday (Thursday)
was SO favorable to him that even some
of the anti-Dreyfusites would fain ad-
nit that the scales are falling from
their eyes. Nine. Henry's dramatic
characterization of M. Bertulus as Judas
failed of the intended effect, because he
Immediately handed Colonel JouauSt,
President of the court-martial, all
anonymous letter he had received
proving the whole scene prearranged.
All the correspondents remarked also
the grateful demeanor of Dreyfus on
hearing, for the first time, witnesses in
his favor.
The correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle" predicts that Dreyfus will
be recondemned, and that the sentence
will be Immediately commuted through
fear of excitement and uprisings Incl
that the latitude allowed the Generals
in court points to submission to what
France is a sacred image ('reasons of
State.'0.
The correspondent of the Times"
comments upon the change which came
over the aspect of affairs when Maitre
Demange began tentatively to cross
examine the witnesses, his questions
leaving General Roget utterly discon-
certed. His remarks, too, upon the
fact that Colonel Jouaust failed to con-
front Roget with Bertulus, whose evil
dence therefore had it's full effect.
The Rennes correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says: The court was
quite hypnotized by the evidence of M.
Bertulus. No more terrible or dra-
matte story was ever told in a court
of justice, and it's effect was heightened
a hundredfold by the soft. sweet-toned
voice and gentlemanly manner of the
witness, which recorded such infamous
deeds.
General Roget meanwhile sat on
pins and needles. His face grew livid,
his hands clutched at his clothing con-
vulsiyely, and his facial muscles quiv-
cred as if with a nervous attack. Pres
emily, with sound such as an adder
sting might make, he rose, to his feet
steadied himself for a moment and
then dragged himself outside.
THE TRIAL GOING ON TO-DAY.
RENNES, Aug. 1S.-The trial by
court-martial of Captain Dreyfus was
resumed at 7:25 this (Friday) morning
without incident Colonel Picquart con-
tinuing his testimony. He spoke in the
same loud. fearless tone and COM
menced by declaring that he thought
it necessary to reply to General Rogets
veritable arraignment of him.
General Zurlinden, General Billit,
General Roget and General Mercier were
present. General Roget at the outset
of Colonel Picquart's remarks inter
posed and said he would reply to them.
Colonel Picquart proceeded to discuss
the secret dossier as the handspring of
the condemnation of Dreyfus. He took
up the consideration of the documents,
successfully referring to the writers
and persons addressed as "a" and B. y
occasionally treating of the "Cette
canaille de D. document.

reports essential to the history. The
volume is an important and<admirable
contribution to the historical records
of the nation.
Some Marked Passages, and Other
Stories" is small volume by Jeanne
G.. Pennington, press of Fords, How
ard & Hubert, New York. Whether
marked passages on the margin or
pages of books we are invited to read,
enhance their interest or disturb the
judgment and distract the attention,
is a question undecided, except in the
opinion of each individual reader. For
ourselves we. prefer the marked pas
sages in the Books we do not read
But it must not be assumed that there
are marked passages in the little vol
ume under notice. The opening story,
however, discusses the question we
have stated. The sketches are graphic,
strong in human interest, and alto
gether enjoyable. They are full of
wholesome hope and of sunlight.
Anna Katharine Green is so widely
known as successful writer of fiction
that the announcement of a new work
from the author of The Leavenworth
Case is sufficientsto insure it a large
reading clientele. The latest of her
stories is Agatha webb. 1t is from
the press of G.. P. Putnam's Sons, New
York, and is in octave form, Sl.2o. We
cannot say that it is the best of her
fiction productions, but it is by no
means the least. The work is unlike
other detective stories by the author
in that the scenes are laid in several
parts of the world. 1t is like her other
works in that every incident excites
and sustains the curiosity of the
reader Miss Green's ability to make
her readers suspect almost all the
characters in a book in turn as the
story progresses is we'll exemplified in
this account of sudden death and the
discovery of it's cause.
Children of the Mist is a novel by
Eden Phillpotts, aauthor of Down
Dartmoor Way etc, press of c. P.
Putnam's Sons, New York. This
rather large volume we have not yet
taken time to read, preferring at pres
ent to quote what r. d. Blsckmore the
accomplished author of Lorna Doone,"
has to say Of it. Thereafter we shall
examine the story critically, with Il
view to comparing notes with Mr..
Blackmore, whos says of the story:
Knowing nothing OF the writer or his
works, 1 was simply astonished at the
beauty and power of this novel But
true as it is to life and place, full of
deep interest, rare humor, and vivid
description, there seemed to be risk
of it's passing unheeded in the crowd
and rush and ruck of fiction. Lit
erature has been enriched withawhole-.
some, genial and noble tale, the read
ing of which is a pleasure in store for
many."
