Lizzie Downe, an unsophisticated Eng

Mormon cruelty and duplicity.
She was enticed from her home in Eng
land by a Mormon missionary named
Arthur Gardiner who promised that he
would give her a situation to do house.
work in Salt Lake City at wages from
$S to $40 per week. When he got the girl
he tried to induce her to join the Mormon
church, and because she refused to obey
his bidding he deserted her and left her
to battle with starvation.
The young woman and her sister, Mrs.
Martha Paternoster, of 2S NARROW road,
Kensington, W., appealed to British
Consul Pickersgill of this city for relief.
The Consul forwarded the letters yester-
day to Captain Schell, Acting Immigra-

view to the deportation Of the unfortu-
nate woman.
Mrs. Paternoster tells narrowing story

PHELAN'S LADDER.
Unlike That of Jacob It Was Fatal to
the Carpenter Who Trusted
His Weight Upon IT.

Mayor Phelan appeared at the Coroner S
office yesterday as a witness at the In
quest upon the body of John H. Dunster,
the carpenter who was killed last Satur-
day by falling from a rotten ladder on a
house at Thirteenth and Mission streets.
The house belonged to the Phelan estate
and it had been reported to the Coroner
that Agent McElroy and Mr. Phelan had
been notified of the dangerous character
of the ladder and had failed to put il in
order.
Mr. Phelan said that the property be-
longed to the estate of the late James
Phelan. his father and that he was the
executor. He had never been informed that
there was a ladder on the house, or that
it was defective. r. D. McElroy. the
agent in charge of the property. knew
more about it than he did
Agent McElroy swore that he had never
been notified that the ladder was weak
or defective in any way. He had ordered
certain leaks In the roof to be stopped and
presumed that the deceased had been sent

Messrs Robinson & Gillespie denied all
knowledge as to the condition of the lad

have caught hold of the rung of the lad
der with both hands and leaned his whole
weight upon 1t.
The jury returned verdict of Academia

WHITFIELD HAS
BEEN CHARGED
WITH FRAUD
His Sister-in-LaW the
Complainant.

George Whittell now rests under the
odium of charge of fraud preferred yes
terday by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ellen a.
Fife, wife of George S. Fife, in an action
filed in the Superior Court by which the
plaintiff seeks 20 recover judgment
against Whittell for the sum of $3.50, ,362
with interest from September II, 1884. Mrs
Fife is a daughter, heir at law and devil
see of the late Nicholas Luning, who died
August IL, 1880, leaving an estate valued
at about $4,000 900.
The will of the deceased. the complaint
alleges, was admitted to probate on Au-
gust 49, $780, and Whittell and Marion b.
Langhorne were appointed and quaLhed
as executors. subsequently after all
devisees and bequests had been settled
and a residue of 81, 900 remained Whit
tell advised that the various heirs of the
estate having an interest in the residue
form a corporation to be known as the
"Luning Company" in order that great
loss would not be sustained by the prema-
talist's estate. Having full confidence in
the integrity of Whittell, Mrs. Flies
complaint continues, she agreed to the
proposition, all interests in the residue
were pooled, a corporation was formed
and by order of court the interests of the
heirs were transferred to the corporation
of which Marion B. Langhorne was ap-
In September of 1894 Mrs. Fife alleges
she was taken i'll, and believing that She
was about to die applied to the corpora
ton for leave to sell her interest in the
corporation that she might make indie
pendent investments for the benefit of her
children. Upon the receipt of her appli-
cation Mrs. Fife says that Whittell rep
resented to her that the value of her stock
in the Luning Company was worth $780,
600, and he agreed to purchase it for that
price and would in addition surrender
promissory note held by him against Mrs
Fife for the sum of S3S, ,63S. Believing that
Whittells statements were true and that
the sum named was a fair price for her
stock. Mrs. Fife accepted the offer and
the note was transferred to her. together
be of the value of 100000. Now Mrs. Fife
says that the property transferred to her
is not worth more than s571 900 and that
her actual interest in the Lunng Com
pany was worth fully 81 100000, which
fact, she claims, was kept from her
knowledge by the fraudulent representa-
tions of Whittel In consequence she

La Estrella's Festival.

Prior to last night La Estrella Parlor
of the Native Daughters Of the Golden
West had been rather quiet in the line
of entertainments and it was thought
that the members were no longer in the
field of social functions, but the Hallow-
cen party last evening, in the banquet
hall of the Native Sons building, gave
proof that the merry young ladies of that
parlor are still strictly in it. The hall
was decorated with the time-honored
pumpkin lanterns, and there were apples
suspended from the chandeliers. The
many who filled the hall were entertain
ed with short programme that had for
features a song and dance by Melville
Coakley; cakewalk by .Juliette Turpin
and William Martin, and vocal solos by
Jack Robinson and Mrs. Keys Then fol-
lowed a pie-eating contest, ducking for
apples, the game of the loggies and other
games incident to the festival, all Of
which were productive of enjoyment.
The affair was a great success in every
sense and after the games there was
dancing. Miss E. McInnery, Mrs. NJ.
Katz, Mrs. ]. Seward, Miss Minnie
Klevesahl. Miss NJ Hansen, Miss ].
Vasselin and Miss G. Behlow were the
committee on entertainment.

CAHILL's MIsFoRTUNEs.
Bereft of Wife and Child Within the
Short Period of Three Weeks.

John Cahill, whose 2-year-old child,
Margaret Cahill. died from sickness and
neglect at 800 Bryant street last Monday
morning, made a pitiable exhibition of
himself in the corridor outside the Coro-
ners office yesterday morning. An in
quest was being held on the body of the
baby, and Cahill, maudlin from the eff
feCtS of liquor was Wailing and lamenting
his loss so loudly that the Coroner was
obliged to postpone the inquest until this
morning at 10 o'clock.
Cahill was more pitied than blamed by
the bystanders when they learned that
his wife had died only three weeks ago.
He was so much affected by his loss that
he took to drink and had not recovered
from the effects of the debauch when the
second misfortune came upon him. Mrs.
DIR. Judell was called in last Friday and
found the child seriously i'll and in want
of many necessaries. She provided some
eggs and other food and made provision
for its care. The father at the time was
helplessly intoxicated. When the baby
died DR. Judell reported the case to the
Coroner
The remaining child. boy, was taken
sick yesterday. Cahll's friends promised
the Coroner that they would try to get
him sober by this morning, so that he
could testify at the inquest.
An autopsy was performed on the re-
mains by DR. Zabala last evening. The
statement that the child had been ne
elected and starved to death by an in
human parent was verified and inaniton
was given as the cause of death on the
autopsy certificate.
