the ex wife of William Eowe has brought suit against lira Mary Ann Gaffney to recover 100000 damages for the alienation ol her husbands affection She alleges in her complaint that she was married to Howe in Chicago 111 on July 1S67 and soon afterward removed with him to this city where they bare lired ever since and where three ions were bom to them aged respectively 22 19 and 17 that on May 21 1890 her husband deserted her and that such desertion was brought ab ut by inducements held out him by the defendant who is a rich widow of Seattle now staying in tbls city William Howe whose affections are appraised by his complaining wife at the Tery high sum of 100000 is a Drivate detective and a partner of Joseph Cochrane formerly a trnsted lieutenant of tne deposed Democratic leader Christopher A Buckley fits wife obtained a divorce from him in December last on the ground of desertion Mrs Mary Ann Gaffney the defendant is a widow aged 52 She is the stepdaughter of the late Captain William Benton of the well known lumber and shipping firm of Ren ton Holmes Co The estate of the late Captain Benton is in dispute but Mrs Gaffney is a very wealthy woman by inheritance from her deceased mother Her fortune is estimated at nearly 1000000 and last Christmas she distributed among her three sons and two daugbters property worth 300000 as a Christmas present Mrs Gaffney is well known in society in Seattle but is at present in this city to defend her rights regarding the estate of the late Captain Benton which has not been distributed yet She could not be seen last night when a Chbomclk reporter called on her Dut a friend of the family Bald This suit against Mrs Gaffney has not a tingle fact to back It op Mrs Gaftney is an estimable lady respected by all who know her both here ana in Seattle I believe that more than thirty yean ago Mrs Gaffney and Howe were schoolmates and that two or three years ago he met her reminded her of their former school days and renewed his acquaintance with her I am convinced that there are no grounds for this suit Naturally she feels that trie bnneing of such a suit forces her into a notoriety painful to any woman and still more

enable her to settle if tnere were anything that she feared or had to defend THE DOG FIGHTERS LEWIS PLEADS GUILTY AND PAYS A FINE Casey and Nolan Demand a Jury and If Convicted Will Jo to Jail Harry

Love announced that every one of the accused who would not plead guilty and might be convicted by a Jury would be sent to the House of Correction It may not be the proper thing for me to say added the Judge but I have said It and now 1 wain you teat every man who may be convicted of dog fighting by a jury will go to the House of Correction Nolan concluded to take his cbancea and will stand trial

hunting is not a kind of ipor prevalent in San Francisco but there is one man in the city who is wondering what has become of one of his pet badgers and spends sleepless nights because he does not know at what moment be may be called upon to pay damages for depredations committed by that missing animal About two weeks ago a crate containing two large badgers male and female waa received by ames Lawson of 114 Sutter street from a friend in Kern county Now Mr Lawson does not happen to be a connoisseur in the badger line and be did not exactly know what to do with the beasts First he thought if both were placed on exhibition in the front window at his place of business it would be quite an attraction but be was afraid they might break the glass and turn things upside down generally So after much deliberation he put he crates down in the cellar until he conld decide in what way to dispose of the animals The next morning Mr Lawson descended to the cellar to see how his new pets were getting along He waa startled to find the crates smashed in pieces and both badgers missing The only thing to indicate where they had gone was two big holes in the floor and two great mounds of dirt surrounding the holes Then Mr Lawson set to work to contrive a trap to catch the animals He sank a barrel in the earth and covered it over with a piece of brown paper carefully sprinkled dirt over the top placed a pan of water near for his pets to drink and waited He waited over four days before there were any developments In the meantime his thoughts were not of the most comforting nature for he knows how a badger with its strong daws can burrow almost as fast as it can walk and there was no telling but both animals might have dug beneath the foundation of the building and up into the street A badger has canine teeth an inch and a half long sharp as needles which it uses with great eflect when irritateU and it hangs on with a tenacity that any bulldog might envy However on the fifth morning Mr Lawson found that the female badger had emerged from hiding had fallen through the paper head of the barrel and was again in captWity Bince that time the cellar has been covered with steel traps and all sorts of contrivances to secure the big male bat bo far there has not been the least indication that the badger is beneath the building or anywhere near it and Mr Lawson fears that the beast has escaped and is roaming about the streets of San Francisco at night ready to be stumbled over by some luckless pedestrian before he makes himself known THE UPWARDS DIVORCED Judge Finn Grants

emigrated to the aoutbern part of this State in the follow ine March They settled on a stock ranch purchased with moneys advanced by Mrs Upwards father The wife however remained here only seven weeks and then returned to her parents in England which act constituted the desertion charged by the plaintiff Mrs Upward defended tbe action claiming that she left her husband at his suggestion because of fears which be professed to have of an outbreak by hostile Indians After arriving in England however she informed Upward father and sister that she did not intend to return and on this declaration Judge Finn based his decision in favor of tne hueband It is probable that the case will be appealed HALIBUTS CASE It Furnishes Morsel for the City Ball Gossips The Kali sky case and the manner in

husband and wife together with their nine months old boy baby which is a pure albino hare been arousing the wonder of visitors to the Academy of Sciences museum during the past three days Taking into consideration the fact that its parents are full blooded copper colored Indians with the long straight coal black hair peculiar to their race there is small wonder that the baby has excited great interest among scientists and physicians Its flesh and hair are as white as the feathers of a dove although its features are of the pure Indian type Its eyes however possess the greatest interest for physicians They are constantly on the move a fact which is accounted for by reason of some of the nerves being so affected that the eyes are peculiarly sensitive to the effects of light Although the eyes of albinos are usually pinkish in color such is not the case with little Domingo by which name the Indian baby is called The color of nis optics changes when they are viewed from different rosi tions The colors they assume are pink blue green and yellow He is an unusually bright baby able to walk a few steps without assistance very good natured to strangers and possessing an abnormally Ian head He it made an appropriation for the purchase of the following song birds One1 pair Virginia nightingales one pair robin redbreasts one pair mocking birds four pair California red linnets one pair

Tahoe who died about three years ago over a century old was the chief When the baby was born the Indians astonished at its color looked upon it as the messenger of ill luck Tbe bead men of the tribe held a council and determined that little Domingo should die a conclusion in the justice of which ilr and Mrs Dick refuted to concur Failing to win the parents over to their idea tbe councillors decided to murder the baby themselves and one evening they attempted to do it Mrs Dick ws on the mountain side with her little one when she saw tbe assassins approaching Intuitively divining their intention she ran screaming to wbere her husband was engaged in digging roots Dick is a young bnll in strength and far from a coward so he drew a knife and made for tbe tnree murderers Tbey had a Lirely battle but Dick put his enemies to flight not however before receiving a knife wound that laid open his cheek and the scar of which he proudly shows to all who care to see it After the fight he and his family sought the society of civilized people and eventually landed in this city That Domingo is the child of Mr and Mrs Dick there can be no doubt Its nose forehead and lips are perfect reproductions of its fathers in all except color while a striking characteristic of the mother is seen in tbe shape of tne cnin The father is a typical young buck do different in appearance from the others of tit tribe but tbe mother is a be uty from an Indian standpoint She is a slender graceful creature with oval black eyes that watch the baby with jealous care and features at regular and symmetrical as those of an ancient Grecian Domingo is the first albino child ever born on the Pacific coast or if there ever were any other history has not recorded it Among the copper colored races such children are very rare although the scientific books state that they are common enough among the blacks inhabiting hot climates Tbe great grandmother of Domingo on its mothers side the oldest living person of the Chuccsanoc tribe says sne never heard of such another child The fact that Domingo ia tbe offspring of Mr and Mrs Dick is vouched lor by Dr Leach of Fresno who has spent forty years among the Indians The baby is now two and a half feet high and weighs thirty pounds The Indians cannot keep away from the Academy of Sciences museum They wandered in there the first day they

procured and had new oorer printed stating them to be abstracts of the aeency they represented and alto had substantial copies of the letters reprinted and are now using them in their own business The

towns The Merchants Asncy was incorporated in Chicago in 18S3 and the American many years later Tbe complaint calls for 10000 damages and an injunction to restrain Gleason and Vance from using the

met last evening in tbe lower hall of St Francis Church at the corner of Montgomery avenue and Valleja street Considerable time was devoted to a discussion of proposed tunnels through the higher hills to the west of Dupont street some being for and others opposed to such measures The matter was finally postponed until the chairman of the committee appointed to investigate the opinions of property owners should bring in his report Great indignation was expressed at the condition of the sidewalk on Montgomery avenue between Vallejo and Green streets The secretary announced that through the repeated notifications and protests or tne club to tbe Board of Supervisors that body had posted signs that the city would repair the sidewalk and then hold the propertyowners adjacentTespon sible for the expense It is estimated that the cost of 130 feet of sidewalk will be about 5000 as it will benecessary to build upon arched trusses The city is willing to advance this amount and put the work through which is owing to the efforts of the club It was announced that as a further result of its labors several streets had been repaired and cleaned and that ropcsals for bids to renovate others bad ten issued Particular stress was laid up the dilapidated and disgraceful condition of the old Pioneer Park onTelegraoh hilL Mr Rey a prominent property owner of that section called the attention of the club to the menacing condition of the old concrete wall near tbe summit of the hill which he said was so caved in and broken that whole sections were tottering on the verge of a pitch to the houses below He said that the hill was much visited by travelers and sightseers as the view is one of the best in tbe dlyyand that the wall aa a continuous source of danger to life and property A

Carnegie party ia a quiet and at times apparently a diffident man but in traveling through the conn try he notes all features of interest especially those relating to produce and trade Speaking to a Cheosicle reporter last evening he stated that In his opinion the people of California underrate the importance of the grain yield of the State What the 8tate needs most he thinks is cheap transportation Wages are high but there are msny products that can be produced here cheaper than in any other portion of the United 8tates The point is however that after the cheap products are raised the cost of shipping them even to local markets is so great as to leave little profit to tbe grower What remedy would you suggest Mr Smith asked the reporter Answering the question in the broadest sense wss the reply I should sav the Nicaragua canal If yon should ask me again I should still say the Nicaragua canal if yod should ask me a third time I should still answer the Nicaragu canaL There is no other one thing that will ben efit California so much as the construction of that great waterway and I am surprised that I dont see almost every man I meet talking or argu ng on this subject It is unreasonable for you to expect to compete tn your products with those rsised in the Eist when you are 3000 miles away Railroads will never provide you with that cheap transportation that the necessity demands With tbe construction of the Nicaragua canal you will forever have cheap transit Steamship lines cannot like railway lines combine to keep np freights between seaboard points on the Atlantic and those on the Pacific In my opinion theconstruction of this canal will comparatively flood yonr 8tale with people When you reach a point at which you can ship cheaply and quickly the products that are raised you will see thousands of people In California where there are now hundreds Many ot us in New York and other Atlantic centers are putting forth our best efforts to secure Government aidfor this grext enterprise In fact 1 am inclined to believe that taking relative population into consideration we are doing more toward farthering the enterprise than the people on this coast and yet we dont need it one tenth at badly as you do With us it wodld be as a nourishing condiment to build up and increase our strength With you it is life blood itself LABOR TOPICS LUMBER
