OF s'97 to Clarksburg Girl at
PitfSburg.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, March 3d.
Clarksburg is just now the scene of
startling sensation. A gentleman
by the name of Bysinger, who for
nearly two years has been in the EN-
ploy of Benz. Lambrecht, a jeweler
of this city, and prominent mem
Der of the Episcopal choir, and
whose eloquence has on many occa-
sions enchanted our fashionable
homes, everyone believing him to en-
joy single blessedness, and who was
an admired beau, suddenly left for
parts unknown. The sequel of his
disappearance is, as madam rumor"
has it, that in the fall of 1897 he
was married quietly to a Clarksburg
society girl at Pittsburg. The facts
leaked out on last Saturday, and to
say the least, it has stirred society
circles from centre to circumference.

The Pacific Mail freight steamer Costa

yesterday for the first time in nearly
three years, coming in from Panama and
way ports with a general cargo and a few
passengers. When the Costa Rica left
here in 1897 she was sent down on the
Central American run, that is, picking up
freight at the smaller ports and deliver
ing 1t to the through steamers. Two and
half years of sucn work in tropical wa

after dtscharging her cargo at the Mail
dock, the Costa Rica will go TO the Union
Iron Works, where she will be practically
rebuilt. New boilers and new machinery
will be put into her, and her interior ar
rangements remodeled This work Will
take three or Iour months to complete,
and when the Costa Rica is again ready
Tor service she will be sent back TO Cea-

Prison, pending investigation.
Neither of the prisoners was informed
on what grounds he was arrested, and
they are now deprived of their liberty and
their right to notify friends or counsel of
their Incarceration, until the officers of
the law are satisfied of their guilt or in
nocence.
Blum was taken out of the beer hall
without warning and later Barron was
arrested on Market street.
Both Sullivan and Phillips were detailed
by Captain Bohen, Chief of Detectives,
to gather further evidence against Simon
Gallick, the young burglar who was near
ly killed on Wednesday while fleeing from
the police, after robbing the Hotel Mare
chaI Neil. AS was stated j, The Call
of yesterday, he was pursued by Bellboy
Zimmerman, and sought safety in coal
yard in which place he was first cap
tured. On his second break for liberty he
evaded Policeman Murphy and a special
officer, and hid in basement on Willow
avenue, where he was found by Otflcer
Phillips.
Detective Sullivan and Phillips in their
search for evidence against Gallick found
a skeleton key and some of the booty in
the coal yard, and also made search OF
his room for stolen stuff, but his pals
were ahead of them and carted away all
evidence of his guilt.
Young Gallick was placed on the grin
by the officers last night, but refused TO
incriminate others. 1t is understood ne
will plead guilty to the charge against
him and thus avoid drawn-out trial

WAITING FOR MCKINLEY.
Ohio Society Preparing to Welcome
the President.

That President Mckinley will visit this
city during the present year seems now
to be settled. knowledge of this fact
brought out a large and enthusiastic at

ciety of California at their monthly gath

The meeting was called to order by
President Ben B. Haskell with the aid Of

but it only contained an old Prince Albert
coat, vest and a suit of underclothing
besides a bundle of letters. Flanders
gave the old clothes away.
Schmid took away the trunk and two
weeks later, when Flanders again saw
Sehmid, he accused him of telling his wife
that he (Flanders) was an ex-convict.
Schmid denied it and said it must have
been another named named Dunderro.
Since then Flanders had not spoken to
him.
Flanders said that his wife was con-
stantly nagging him about being an ex-
convict and he came to the conclusion
that Schmid had been poisoning her mind
against him. Mrs. Flanders was inter
rogated by the police yesterday, but she
denied that Schmid had ever spoken to
her about her husband being an ex-con-
vict.
Forrest is equally emphatic in his de-
nail. He says he had not seen Schmld
for two weeks previous to last Saturday,
and he had not seen Flanders for six
years till Wednesday evening. Saturday
last he was at work in a barber shop on
Fourth street, near Bryant, and could
easily prove an alibi.
The detectives are still working on the
case, but have been unable to find any
trace of the ak. The inquest will be held
this morning.

DEATH, THEN A NEW LOVE.
Fannie A. France Buries Her Hus-
band and Remarries Within
Three Weeks.

Three weeks ago last Sunday George w.
France departed this life, leaving a
widow and three children. Last Tues
day a marriage license was issued by
Cupid Danforth and on the same day
the 'bereaved" widow of the dead man,
Fannie A. France, was united in mar
riage TO Stephen Turner a widower, of
Boston, Mass. Yesterday morning an
application for a family allowance for
the support of Mrs. France-Turner from
the estate of her late husband was heard
by Judge Coffey, and when he heard that
the lady had again married he was
astounded and remarked that it was the
quickest case on record where a heart
supposed to be broken by death was
mended and made happy by another love.
The court promptly refused to allow
the lady family allowance and ap-
pointed the dead mans nephew, Oliver w.
France, as administrator of the estate
and guardian of the three children.

SANTA FE MEN HERE.
George Nicholson and John Player
Looking Over the Railroad
Situation

- George T. Nicholson. passenger traffic
manager Of the Santa Fe. with headquar-
ters at Chicago, arrived in this city yes
terday and is now at the Palace. Mr..
Nicholson stated that his visit had no es-
pecial significance as far as his line was
concerned. He came out, he said, to see
a sick child in the southern part Of the
State.
In view of the fact, however, that the
Santa Fe is about to absorb the Valley
road it is believed that Nicholson is here
TO look over the situation in connection
With the passenger traffic, though he
would not express himself on that point.
The fact that John Player, the super
intendent of machinery of the Santa Fe,
has also arrived from Chicago would
make it appear that the two gentlemen
are out here on railroad business. Player
is supposed to be considering the availa-
bility of Point Richmond, Stockton, or
this city for the erection of machine shops
for the amalgamated roads.

ders' voice, but nothing Ineligible could
be got out of him.
Flanders and Forrest were arrested
on a statement made by Schmid to a
friend also an ex-convict, who was sent
to talk to him by the police. He had re-
fused to tell the police who attacked him,
and they had to resort to strategy in an
effort to get at the facts Schmid told
his friend that Flanders had called at
his room Saturday morning and after
talking with him for few minutes left.
Almost immediately after two men, one
OF them Forrest, came into his room and
attacked him with an ak. He believed
Flanders had sent the men there to kill
him. The reason he gave was that Flan-
ders should have been sent to San Quen-
tin instead of him for the crime he was
charged with. When he was sent to the
a trunk containing his clothing, papers
and some articles of jewelry. After his
discharge he went to Flanders for his
trunk and 1t was empty, except for few
and the next day called upon Mrs. Flan-
ders and told her that her husband vas
an ex-convict and had been the means of
sending him to San Quentin.
Schmid also told the physician who at
tended him at the hospital and his nurse
that Flanders and Forrest and an un-
him with the ak, and he told the same
story to Detective Wren. Unfortunately
an ante-mortem statement was not taken.
and without it Schmids statement is not
worth much.
Flanders said yesterday that Schmid s
accusation, as far as he was concerned
was untrue, and he could easily prove an
alibi. He had not seen Schmid for at
least two months AT the time Schmid
was arresed about seven years ago for
robbing a sailor he tried to fix the blame
upon Flanders and the latter was arrest
ed and detained in prison for a day.
That was the only time he was ever ar
rested He had only known Sehmid for
month. Schmid left his trunk with him.

First Association Football Game of
the Season-Sports at Sutro
. Ra%hS

The Vampire Club of this city, who has
for the last two years been doing it's
best to revive interest in association foot
ball on this coast, has arranged very
attractive match for Saturday.
The club will be opposed by the Noun
tain Copper mine team from Keswick,
Shasta County. The Vampire team is
largely composed of Englishmen en-
ployed in banks and insurance offices in
town.
These teams met twice last year. The
first meeting took place at Alameda in
January. The game was very good one
and although the Vampires had more of
the play than their opponents the game
ended in a draw of one goal each. The
second meeting took place at Redding, on
Thanksgiving day, when the Vampires,
after very exciting tussle, beat their op-
ponents by two goals to one goal The
result was unexpected, as the Vampire
team was somewhat weak, while the Kes-
wicks had their best available team.
-: Both teams will play their hardest
Vampires to sustain their reputation in
the last game and keswicks to secure re-
venge. Included in the Keswick team is
h r. Plate, who played for Stanford in
the big game on Thanksgiving day last,
and who is now located at Keswick. The
game will be played at Preside athletic
grounds and viii start at p. m.
Mr.. Douglas Erskine of the Olympic
Club will act as referee.
After the game the Vampires will en-
tertain their visitors at a dinner The
following is the makeup:
