Go Before the Council To Com
plain Against Chief LoCkdrt.

As result of an alteration in the
Parlor saloon yesterday aft ,rnoon be-
tween Chief of Police, Lockart and linn

He will charge Mr.. Lockart with
drunkenness while on duty and with
insulting language and conduct unbe-
coming an officer.
The charges arise over a diff Guilty in
the saloon named which. according to
witnesses of the air, arose from the
chief addressing an insulting epithet
to Dwyer.
According to Dwyer's statement, he
knew the chief had b sen drln king, and
paid little attention to him, but when
he refused to retract the epithet,
Dwyer struck him.
The chief was knocked down from
the force of the blow, and would have
fallen to the floor had not Ranger
Matthews caught him in his arms.
Pat Dwyer, who had bsen stan ding
outside. rushed in and kept the
combatauts from further trouble.
The blood spurted from Mr..
L2ckart's nose in great stream, and
he was assisted to q carriage and taken
to his home ty Officer Taylor.
NET THIS AFTERNOON
AT three O'Clock this afternoon,
Dwyer and Chief Lockart met and the
result is that there will probably be
peace. Mr.. Lockart said that be had
been in the wrong, and that he regret
tad it. The hsnces are that no COM
plant will be made to the council in
the matter.

gresham Charles A. Chicken
ing, of Copenhagen, N. Y: for
many years clerk of the state assem-
bly,, either jumped or fell from the
fourth story balcony Of the Grand
Uniou hotel this morning. A milkman
stumbled across the dead body on the
Forty first street side of the hotel at
5 O'Clock. His skull was horribly
crushed, his body rigid, and his
clothing soaked with rain. He must
have been dead for hours.
Mr.. Chickering came to the hotel
Sunday. He was we'll known there.
"Not feeling at all WELL, he said in
answer to the clerks inquiry: "al

He was about the hotel Office yester
day and to all acquaintances who met
him he complained about rheuma

scored but the Beers today have the
best of it.
On Friday they occupied Bastard
Mex to the west and mounted gun
there. Later they seized Hobkirk' e
farm to the south and drove in the
British outposts.
On Sunday British artillery got
within range of Bastard Mex. aud
Hobkirk's and forced the Beers to
evacuate their positions. Part of the
Australians and Tasmanians then re-
occupied them.
Early On Monday, however, the
Beers returned unexpectedly to the at

GEN. ROBERTS CHEERING HIS MEN.
CAPETOwN. Feb. 1S.-All eyes are
now turned on Modder river. Foreign
military attaches left for there last
night with the expectation of seeing a
battle. General Lord Roberts has
taken direct command of the forces at
that point. These are estimated at
5000. The general visited the camp
of Highlanders at Modder river and
add ressed each of the battalions. They

how to make campaign without

THE ISAAC DIVORCES
Information That None Was Granted
In San Francisco Received Today


The chief of police this afternoon re.
ceive1 telegram from the assistan,
chief of police of San Francisco stating
that the records there failed to show
that divorce had been granted r. B.
Isaac or Mrs. r. B. Isaac since the
date of Issac's marriage to Mrs. Vir-
ginia Bishop in July 23, 1898, or since
j an. l, 1898.
When this statement was repeated
to Isaac at the jail this afternoon, he
made the following counterstatement:
81 never have said that the divorce
was granted in San Francisco. 1 do
not know where the divorce was grant
ed and when it was granted. 1 only
know that the divorce was granted
which legally separated myself and the
woman who was Mrs. Virginia Bishop.
"This information came from nv
people in a letter to me. AS for me, 1
have been away from the coast ever
since, and as say, do not know how
or when the divorce was granted"
A corrected statement from Albu-
querque shows that the divorce was
granted there in 1899, aud not in 1898,
from Mrs. Mckenzie, according to
Charles Mckenzie, and this places Isaac
in the role o: a bigamist, if it be true.

HAYDN'S UNHAPPY WIFE
Married Her Instead of Her sister
Merely 10 obliEe His Fa-
ther-in-Law.

Haydn married, not the girl he was
In love with, but her sister. Haydn,
you should take my oldest daughter, 50
said Father Keller, the barber, and,
as Keller had done a good deal for
Haydn, the composer felt that he must
sacrifice his affection on the altar Of
duty and oblige the old man. At the
time OF the marriage, in 1850, Haydn
was %, while his Anna Maria was 30.
There does not appear to have been
much love on either side TO start with,
but Haydn declared that he had really
begun TO like" his wife, and would
have come to entertain a stronger feel
ing for her IL she had behaved in a
reasonable way. Unfortunately, Anna
Maria had neither rhyme nor reason IN
her composition. The entertaining
Marville says that the Majority of la
dies married to men of genius are so
vain of the abilities of their husbands
that they are frequently insufferable
But Frau Haydn was not a lady Of that
kind. The world had emphatically
proclaimed her husband a genius, but
to Maria ii was quite immaterial wheth-
er he were a cobbler or an artist. Nay,
she even committed the incredible
crime of using the composers manu-
script scores for curling paper, as un-
derlays for pastry, and similar things.
She was gay enough with it all, too.
When Haydn went from home sir
would send him the most cheerful little
notes. SHOULD you die to-day or to-
morrow" ran one of these missives.
there is not enough money left in the
house to bury you" At another time.
when Haydn was in London, he re-
ceiyed a letter in which Maria wrote
that she had just seen a neat little
house which she liked very much, and
that he might do himself the pleasure
to send her 1000 gulden with which to
buy il, so as to have in future wild
ow's home" Pleasant reading this
for the genial composerl In the first
case he wrote, without a trace Of anger:
should this be so, take nv manu-
scripts to the music publisher. / guar
antee you that they will be worth
money enough to defray my funeral ex-
penses." In the matter of the widows
home" he thought it would be best to
arrange things himself Ultimately he
bouht the house, and in spite Of Maria's
frequent suggestions of his coming dis
solution, he lived in it for nine years
after she had been dead. Frau HAYDN
saw out her 20 years, but some time be- |
fore that the pair had agreed TO live
apart as the best way Of ending union
which had proven utterly unbearable |

BIG GALAPAGOS TURTLES
The Heaviest weighed 600 Pounds
and Was worth for scientihe
Uses $500.

From the Galapagos islands the
schooner Julia Whalen has brought ten
of the immense turtles for which the
islands are noted The biggest shell.
back of them all weighs GOO pounds and
Is said to be the largest ever brought
from the islands. Unfortunately, the
monster reptile was accidentally killed
two weeks out from the islands. A
sharp piece of timber fell on the deck
and Pierced the animals lungs. The
turtle coughed blood for awhile, and
an attempt was made TO plaster up the
hole, but the injured tortoise died in
fortnight. As scientists estimate the
average life of these turtles at 200 years,
death within two weeks of an injury
is practically instantaneous-for a
turtle. 1t is said in the islands that no
turtle has died natural death in the
memory Of the oldest inhabitant. Dur
ing the two centuries that scientists
have allotted il to live some accident
generally befalls the turtle. Many have
met their deaths by falling over preci-
pices, and a number have been over
taken by the lava flows of these vol
canic islands. In fact, the turtle
brought back dead by the Whalen
shows marks on his shell of having been
caught in some fiery flow. There are
scars on his she'll showing that the lava
moved more quickly than he. A ton
of cactus leaves was brought on the
schooner as food for the turtles.
r. Z. Snodgrass, an instructor IN
zoology at Stanford university, and i.
Heller, a geological student there, went
on the Whalen for the purpose Of maxi
ing scientific observations. One Of the
giant tortoises belonged 10 them and
they have in addition $50 varieties Of
fish. SiNty-two varieties Of fish were
already known on these islands, which
are remarkably rich zobloeically. or
the fish brought back 10 Stanford, 90
specimens are new to science. The col
legians bring also a most complete col
lection Of insects, many Of them unclas-
sited, and fine collection of birds and
reptiles. They have a specimen of a
marine iguana, or sea llzard, SIX rect
long.
The college men report that the tur-
ties, though still numerous on Abe
marie, have disappeared from the other
islands, except on Duncan island, where
one species Of the testudo family still
exists. There are three species on Al
bemarle, but on the other islands, each
of which had once its separate species,
the turtles are extinct. The inhab-
itants of the islands kill the turtles for
their oil, and the supply is steadily
growing less. The turtles brought back
on the Whalen are worth from 5000 10
$500 apiece. There were ten, some Of
them bound for museums, some for
geological gardens and more for the
soup kettle.-San Francisco Chronicle,
