An Incident which illustrates one o!

Woman shopper.

January sales in the State street
stores are sometimes the occasion OF
small bargain-cOunter riots. AS soon
as one woman sees another looking a
four-vard remnant she decides imme-
Giatelv tha. she wants that particular
piece herself. Two women were pricing
a piece of percale in one Of the ciS es-
tablishments, says Chicago exchange.
Up came two other women, evidently
much perturbed.
There, she's got i in her hand;
she's going to lake it," walled one. Il

back"
but you surely didn't think I'd go
off and leave those nice suede gloves at

defense. at the same dime gazing hun
grily ii the little piece Of percale. The
shopper who WIS lingering the goods
turned to the two women and said. po-
litely:
- na'H't vrdcred it You may have
it," and walkrI away.
Left in possession of the field the
wouId-be purchaser east a careless
glance at the remnant and turned

said.

The Building Trades Council at its
meeting last night declared the firm of
Campbell & Pettis to be unfair because
of it's failure to comply with trade rules
The firm has a contract for Government
work on Goat Island, and by the edict of
the council union men will refuse to ac-
cept employment from it.
The council also condemned the action
of the Idaho authorities and General Mer-
riam in their attitude toward the union
miners, and it congratulated the miners
for refusing to accede to the. mandate of
the authorities. The work of the special
committee. appointed to draft circular

Jia, the substance of which is an appeal
lo the laboring men Of the city to with

SOUGHT HIS KITTENS
BUT FOUND FLAMES
PECULIAR ACCIDENT TO A CAT
FANCIER.

leaking gas meter was the cause of
a serious accident TO Ricardo Brunacci
at 1926 Larkin street last evening, and
might have resulted in a large conflagra-
tion had it not been for a prompt
response from the Fire Department
For number Of years Brunacci kept a
saloon at the above address, and when he
failed was without home or funds. The
landlord, julius Abrams, permitted him
to retain the quarters, and he occupied a
room in the rear as living quarters His
particular hobby was kittens and he
housed a number of them in small
closet inclosing the gas meter which was
never used
Last evening about s o'clock he went to
look for the cats that he might feed them.
and failing to locate them struck a
match. Instantly there was an explosion
and a sheet of flame enveloped Brunacci.
Seeing that a confiagration was imminent
he took off his coat and attempted to ex-
tinguish the fire. In this he was unsuc-
cessful and only increased his injuries.
He repaired to a drug store and from
there to the Receiving Hospital, where
several severe burns on the hands, neck
and head were dressed.
An alarm was turned in from box 1877
and the Fire Department succeeded in
getting the flames under control after the
building, which was a three-story frame,
had been damaged to the extent of about
2900

CARS DIRECT TO GLEN PARK.

The San Francisco and San Mateo cleo
trio car line will, by tomorrow night,
have the spur line running into Glen
Park complete. This addition will en-
able the public when visiting Glen Park
to get into the grounds direct from the
San Francisco and San Mateo line at any
point east of the park. Heretofore the
cars running on Guerrero street trans
ferred passengers at Thirtieth street TO
the Chenery-street line going south By
the completion of the spur line into the
park the changes will be made at Chen
cry and Diamond streets (bridge), instead
of at Thirtieth.
All cars will run to this poiIt, and those
intended for the park will continue into
the park inclosure by the new line just
completed.
The work on the double track from
Thirteth street to Holy Cross has been
delayed In consequence of the non-arrival
OF the steel rails from the East. AS soon
as these rails reach here the double track
will be pushed to a finish rapidly as
men and money can be made to put the
road in frst-class condition.
1t is the intention of the management
of this road to make it one of the best
in the city. With this object in view the
directors are contemplating the purchase
of a sufficient number of modern built
cars for the increased traffic which has
Of late been bestowed upon the line.

HER BONDS WE'RE WORTHLESS
Nellie Murphy, a Notorious Pick
pocket, Ordered Into Custody
and Her Bonds Raised.

Nellie Murphy, the notorious pick
pocket, was up for preliminary examina-
ton before Acting Police Judge Groez-
niger yesterday on a charge of grand
larceny. She is accused of robbing Her
man Larson of $50 in Patrick Dever's sa-
loon, 133 Third street. The evidence Of
the complaining witness and Dever was
taken and the case was continued till
May %. The defendants bonds were
raised from $1,000 to $1,000 and she was
locked up in the City Prison.
The police were afraid that she would
not appear in court. as she had been re-
leased on $1,000 bonds accepted by Clerk
Conway of Judge Mogans court which
were considered worthless. The sureties
were George w, Samuel, a tailor on
Fourth street. and John Crowley, saloon
keeper, IS Mason street, both of whom
are only assessed for $50 worth of per
sonal property. There is another case of
grand larceny against Nellie in Judge
Mogans court which will be called for
the third time in court tomorrow The
complaining witness has been ''squaredH
and has apparently left town.

FOOT BINDING
CRUSADE TO Be
|NAUGURATED
Clergy Will Preach
and Practice.

This week will see the inception of new
crusade against foot binding in China
town. 1t is claimed that the custom is on
the increase and several clergymen have
taken up the cause of the little heather
and will not only 4nveigh against the
Wholesale manufacture of cripples but
will invoke the law to put a stop to the
practice.
Rev. DR.. Wilson of the Howard-street
Methodist Church began the crusade and
has found an able second in Rev. DR.
Locke, who was in Chinatown last night
getting data for a sermon which he will
preach on the subject next Sunday night.
A careful list of all The little-foot women
names and addresses of their parents. It
has taken weeks of patient investigation
to get these names for the parents as
soon as they found that inquiries were
being made, spirited away the children
and denied that any such custom existed.
The investigation was fully made, how
ever, and now every child which has it's
have to answer for it. Test cases will
be made and the work will be followed
UP until the crippling industry is broken
up. No less than twenty lttle-footed
girls were counted yesterday on the
streets of Chinatown One little tot Of
about years was seen making her first
attempt at walking after the binding pro-
cess and the painful efforts she made
were enough to convince any one that the
custom is a vicious one
1t is the intention of those who have
inaugurated the crusade to carry the mat
ter to the courts and continue doing so
until the custom is completely eradicated.

ANXIOUS To
GET EVEN WITH
CARPENTER
Clerk KelIy's Friends
Seek His Removal.

The friends Of Thomas Kelly, clerk of
Judge Graham's court, are after the
scalp of Prosecuting Attorney l.. G. Car
penter, evidently convinced that he is re-
sponsible for the recent expose Of Kelly s
methods in releasing criminals His
friends have rallied to his support, and
declare in unmeasured terms that they
will get even with him, even at the sacri-
flee of Carpenters official position.
Kelly was appointed a clerk of Police
Court through the political influence of
Spike" Flynn and Billy Gallagher,
who conduct a saloon in the tenderloin
district. Flynn some time ago was
charged with the killing of his partners
brother, but was discharged after pre-
liminary examination in the Police Court.
Carpenter prior to his appointment as
Prosecuting Attorney served as a reporter
on an evening paper. Recently the paper
on which he was employed published a
scathing article. accusing Kelly of ac-
cepting straw bonds and directly charg-
ing him with having lent his assistance
in securing the release of Harry Wilson,
the negro, who was arrested on suspicion
of being the stranger of May McDermott
and Bertha Paradis. Wilson was given
his freedom on worthless bonds, and at
once left the city. He was traced to
Santa Cruz where he was recognized and
arrested.
After satisfying themselves that Prose-
cutting Attorney Carpenter had inspired
the article which reflected so seriously
on Kelly's character Gallagher and
Flynn, his bosom friends, started out
with the avowed determination of getting
even" with him. Accompanied by sew
eral other men with acknowledged allie
glance to Kelly, they hunted up Phil
Crimmins and demanded that he use his
influence to have the Board of Supervis-
ors revoke the appointment of Carpen-
ter. Crimmins it is claimed, promised
them that he would exert his pull to
have Carpenter removed from office.
Both Flynn and Gallagher confidently
expect that Carpenters head will shortly
fall in the basket. They openly declare
that they are against him and hope to
get even with him for what they term
his peculiar position in regard to Kelly,
whose duties as a Police Court clerk are
confined to another court Carpenter
laughs at the efforts of Flynn and Gala
CHER to get his scalp, so to speak. He
is satisfied that the Supervisors will not
remove him. even if Crimmins is a party
to the scheme.

OPERA SINGERS
MARRIED TWICE
IN TWO FAITHS
Joined in New York
and in This City.
A PRETTY STAGE ROMANCE
SOUTHWELL'S WARBLERS PLAY
sEEsAW WITH CUPID.
A Marriage That Was First Solemn
lied by a Catholic Priest and
Then by an Episcopal
Minister.
WARBLERS PLAY
SEESAW WITH CUPID.

Two fond hearts We're made one for the
second time yesterday at the Grace Epis-
copal Church by the Rev r. G. Foute.
j. A. Braidwood and Catherine Hahn, two
members of the Southwell Opera Com
pany now playing at the Grand Opera
house, are the leading characters in
what may be termed most peculiar mat
rimonial difficulty.
Braidwood and his bride, Catherine
Hahn, have been Joined in wedlock at
both ends of this broad continent and in
two faiths at that.
Miss Hahn. or, rather, Mrs. Braidwood,
is strict Roman. Catholic and the hus-
band is an eXacting Episcopalian, and the
difference in their religions has made a
double marriage necessary.
Braidwood married Miss Hahn, whose
stage name is Caldwell, in New York, and
the marriage was solemnized in the Ro-
man Catholic churcn. The husband has
since been imploring his young and pretty
wife to have their marriage Solemnized
over again by an Episcopal minister On
the long trip across the continent to this
city the loving couple were constantly
billing and cooling and whispering, much
to the amusement of the rest of the com
pany, who little knew the tender subject
of their conversation. BY the time the
company arrived here the persuasive
warbler had half succeeded in getting his
solemnzed over again in his own faith
Early this week he finished his labor of
love and religion and Mrs. Braidwood
agreed to become Mrs. Braidwood again
just to satisfy her husband.
The couple attempted to guard their Sc
cret from the prying ears of the rest of
the company, but in some way or another
Charlie Jones, the genial stage manager
of the company, found it out, and of
course Charlie had to tell it to Mr.. Persse,
who sings so sweetly the role of Turridu
in ''Cavalleria Rusticana," and then the
story was fed the ear of every mem
ber of the company from the chorus girl
to young Mr. SouthWell.
Braidwood and his WIFE are both ex-
tremely popular, and last night congratu
lations were showered upon them. 1t was
not until Charlie Jones good naturedly
wormed an admission out of Bradwood
that 1t became known that the young
couple had even been married in New
York
''Yes, I was married to-day at Grace
Church. admitted Mr.. Braidwood when
seen last night by a Call reporter. You
see, | first married my wife in the Catho-
lie church. l have been raised a strict
Episcopalian, and while I harbor a pro-
found respect for her religion / did not
feel satisfied. When we arrived here I'VE
decided to have our marriage solemnized
again by an Episcopal minister. Accord
ingly l procured a license and to-day we
were married by the Rev Mr.. Foute."

SOME QUEER METHODS
OF INSURANCE WARS
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway. Nav IS.


90S Broadway. May 49,
A most interesting development was
brought out at the trial to-day of Thomas
F. Agnew, charged with embezzlement
before jury in Judge Halls court 1t
was an exposure of the methods employed
by some insurance companies to reap big
business during rate cut wars.
Agnews is specifically charged with hav-
ing collected $50 from Charles Jurgens on
policy 6Il0 of the Home Insurance Com
pany Of New York in July, 1896. The pol
ICY was shown at the trial to have been
written in December, 1895 to take effect
In February, 1897. This, moreover was a
mercantile risk, and the custom is not to
date such risks beyond sixty days ahead
and not for over one year at a time. Thus
in the present case the premium was
paid nearly year before the risk com
menced, and was to run for three years.
This was done apparently to control
future business. but even then did not
hold good for the insured, though the
company made no objection to its agent
AgneW. at the time.
According to the testimony of the com
pany's witnesses, the cancellation of the
policy was demanded of Agnew in June,
1896, but the Oakland agent refused. In
the following August the company in
quired why the policy had not been can
Celed, and shortly afterward AgneW was
dismissed. In December, 1896, a special
agent, Rolf, from the San Francisco office,
called on Jurgens and paid him back the
premium in full and took up the policy.
Agnes took the witness stand in his own
behalf this afternoon and stated that
communications from the head office re-
Eardlng cancellations were generally held
in the San Francisco office and were dis
cuSSed when he visited there frequently.
Moreover. he testified that at the time of
the alleged embeZzlement the company
owed him several hundred dollars in com
missions.
The trial promises to grow in interest
and Will occupy several dayS.
