LOS ANGELES HERALD. XXXIX-NO. 53. SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3, 1892. COULDN'T PUT CLUNIE OUT A Row Over the Bay City Election Returns.

Arbitrary Proceedings of the Canvassing Board. An Attempt to Eject a Democratic Attorney Fails. Returns All In Except from Alpine and Ban Francisco Featnree of tlie Vote. Coast By the Associated San Francisco, Dec. waa an exciting scene at the meeting of the election commission today.

The trouble began last night when Attorney Andrew J. Clunie, who is representing the Democratic party during the progress of the official connt of votes cast in this city at the recent election, made some charges against Auditor Smiley and Tax Collector O'Brien, who are members of the election commission. When the board met this morning an altercation arose between Attorney Clnnie and Auditor Smiley and Tax Collector O'Brien. Smiley and O'Brien informed Clunie that they would not recognize bis authority, and they threatened to have him excluded from the rpom. The partiea became very much excited, and Smiley told Clunie not to speak to him again or he would "spit down hia throat." Affairs finally calmed down a time, but the commission reassembled this afternoon Auditor Smiley offered a resolution declaring that Clunie's conduct was unbearable "and ordering the registrar to exclude him from the room.

This led to more trouble, and Clunie declined to leave. He warned Registrar Brown not to touch him, and told him if he did bo he would be criminally liable. Brown refused to put Cluuie out, and Smiley and O'Brien then called npon Police Officer Scott to do 80. Scott demurred, when Clunie warned him. A man named Lauterback, who is employed in the auditor's office, appeared.

Smiley ordered Lauterback to put Clunie out, and Lauterback accordingly graeped the attorney by the collar. This was the signal for a general disturbance. A number of Olnnie'a friends jumped over the rail and grabbed Lauterbuck, and a general scrimmage ensued. Lauterback was thrown to the floor and badly kicked. The disturbance was finally quelled and Clunie was etill in the room.

Some time waa spent in arguing the matter, hut Clunie still refused to go, and iv order to clear the room the board adjourned. Captain Douglass and a squad" Of were present at the session of the commission this evening, and made an effort to prevent Attorney Clunie from entering the room, but finally permitted him to do co. Clunie walked into the main room, and aa the crowd of spectators made way for him he stepped over the railing and into the enclosure near the commissioners. Tax Coliector O'Brien called upon the police to eject him, and as they did not do so he took his hat and left the room himself. Smiley and Durst, the only other commissioners present, asked ex-Judge Sullivan and other Democratic leaders present to appoint another attorney to represent the party, but they declined to do bo, and Clunie was permitted to speak in his own behalf.

In his speech he repeated the statements which he bad formerly made, to the effect that Smiley and O'Brien had been engaged in "crooked work" in connection with the canvass, and he asked to have the full board present to act his case. With this understanding the matter went over and the meeting adjourned. THE COUNT ALMOST COMPLETE. Official for All but Two Counties in the State Received. Sacramento, Dec.

morning Secretary of State Waite received the official returns from San Diego county. This but two counties to hear and San Francisco. The returns from the latter county were expected in this evening. In Alpine county it will be some little time before the returns are all in, as a special election has been called by the governor in one of the precincts of that county for the 12th inst. The returns thus far received present an interesting study to the student of political science.

Between 7000 and 10,000 electors in the state refused, or neglected to vote for, any presidential electors. Thirty thousand voters in the state failed intentionally, or otherwise, to vote for any candidate for congress. Governor Markham is very engaged on his forthcoming message to the legislature. It is undestood the governor wiil warmly indorse the Wright irrigation law, and speak encouragingly of the mining industry. LIZZIE IS OK JEN INDICTED.

A PARSON'S GAUZY YARN. Hot. Frank E. McCallum Suspended from the Ministry for Cause. Sacramento, Dec.

2 committee of the Methodist Episcopal church which haa been in session in this city for several days investigating the charges against Rev. Frank £. McCallam of Elk Orove last night completed its labors. He was found guilty and relieved of his pulpit until the meeting of the conference next September. The preacher was charged with having clandestinely left his work and with misrepresentation.

A few months ago McCallurn mysteriously disappeared from his residence one night, and it was believed he had been robbed and murdered and his body hidden away. Finally, however, he turned up in Omaha. He related a sensational story to the effect that he had been bound, gagged and blindfolded by two men, who took him in a carriage to the mountains, placed him on board a train and ordered tiim to leave the country, with the warning that he would be killed if he ever returned to Elk Orove. The church committee refused to believe his story. He acted aa his own counsel.

Jay Gould Fiaally Gives Up the Ghost. His End Was Peaceful in the Extreme. He Bade Farewell to His Children and Expired. His Death So Often Rumored That It Came at Last as a Surprise. The Stock Market Only Slightly Affected.

By the Associated Press. New York, Dec. Gould ia dead. He breathed hia laat at 0:15 this morning, surrounded by hia children, at hia home, on Fifth avenue. There were no Bigns of pain, and he was conscious until a few momenta before he died.

A short time before he passed away he, called his children, one niter the other, to his side and bade them a long farewell. This done he closed his eyes, and was dead almost before his loved ones realized that it was death. HIS LAST ILLNESS. Gould's last illness dates back two weeks, when he took a cold while driving. Aa the result, bis already enfeebled constitution could not withstand the slight ailment, and he began sinking rapidly.

From an early hour laat night, after an attack of coughing, he became unconscious, and then it was that Dr. Munn and Dr. Janeway recognized that the end near. He seemed to rally just before 7 o'clock, but it waa not until 9 o'clock that there was evidence of returning consciousness, when he bade the members of his family farewell, and they, with Dr. Munn, were at the bedside when the end came.

THE FAMILY PROSTRATED. The Gould family are prostrated with grief. Miss Helen Gould was ill when her father was taken sick, and the blow came upon her with terrible force. The members of the family are very much devoted to each other. Gould was always very much ot a domestic man, notwithstanding bis enormous weight of cares from his gigantic financial operations, and the death of the father, so shortly after the demise of the mother, comes with added force of affliction to the bereaved children.

FEELING IN WALL STREET. The general feeling in all street was one of Burp ise, for so many times has the report of bis death spread, to be contradicted aa soon as a certain effect in stocks had been produced. So later than yesterday, was the old trick played that it became like the cry of "wolf" when there waa no wolf, and at length the truth came to them aa an unexpected thing. Regret also, quiet, unfeigned regret, that the famous millionaire's career should close when he was only 67 years old, seemed to be felt by his old enemies as well as by his former associates. Wall street never shared the general opinion of the magnate that he was too hard, too grasping, even for Wall street, and admiration cf him or enmity had not blinded them to the great qualities which made him the most wonderful financier the country ever produced.

Gould's stock holdings. For the past two years Qould lias been disposing of many of his small holdings and today his stock investments are in compact form, An accurate list of the companies in which he was heavily interested to his death, is as follows: Western Union telegraph, Manhattan Elevated railway, Texas Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, Wabash, Union Pacific, International and Great Northern. Besides these companies Mr. Gould was interested to Borne extent in the minor companies of the southwestern system and the Western Urion, but he was engaged in getting out of them and putting his eons into his place there, preferring to concentrate his holdings in the parent companies. his reputed wealth.

Many are made in regard to Jay Gould's wealth and the disposition that will be made of his immense holdings of securities. One of his closest associates and oldest personal friends said in regard to this matter: "Mr. Gould's wealth will be found to vary not from $100,000,000. About is in Manhattan, Western Union telegraph and Missouri Pacific stock. His holdings in these three stocks are trueted and will not be sold.

His other securities will be taken care of by the same interest which has had charge of them for the past three yearp. It is estimated that Gould held $15,000,000 of Western Union stock and $20,000,000 of elevated road stock." THE MILLIONAIRE'S TOMB. The Gould family tomb in Woodlawn cemetery cost $500,000. The mausoleum is a copy of the Parthenon, built of granite, and cost $100,000. The engines on the Sixth, Third and Second avenue elevated roads are draped in black on account of Gould's death.

Other appropriate steps were taken today by the hands of the various organizations with which Mr. Gould was prominently connected. Flags are flying at half-mast on the Fifth-avenue, St. James and Albemarle hotels. MISS HELEN GOULD VERY ILL.

Dr. Munn, Gould's physician, remained in the house until late in the evening. It is understood that some anxiety is felt by the other members of the family about Miss Helen Gould'a condition. Dr. Munn ie said to have felt some uneasiness about her yesterday, and it was her illness that caused him to remain in the house.

It is hoped, however, that she will be able to attend the funeral services in the house Monday. Nothing definite was learned about the funeral arrangements tonight beyond PRICE FIVE CENTS. what waa announced by Dr. Paxton today. FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS, ETC.

The news of Gould's death spread quickly, and all who passed the house stopped and looked at it. Meseagea and became frequent after 10. At 10:30 an undertaker's wagon drove up aud a casket was taken into tho house. Rev. Dr.

Paxton, Gould's family pastor, said the funeral will take place Monday, the hour not yet being fixed, and will be held at the house. It will be conducted by Dr. Paxton, assisted by Chancelor McCracken of the university of New York and Rev. Broderick Terry. Howard Gould says his father retained consciousness to the laet.

He knew he was about to die, and juat btf.rethe end said he wished to have all the family present, and appeared satisfied to find all there. He passed away quietly. Dr. Munn saya he became speechless through weakness juat before death, and recognized the members of the family by nodding his head. It is believed he had hia financial house in order for a long time.

Prominent brokers and bankers believe his death will not have much effect on the market either way. Neither the London nor the New York market waa Effected to any material extent today. BROUOHT TO BOOK. California Will Have a Mining Exhibit at tun Fair. San Francisco, Dec.

STANDS BY HIB DECLARATIONS. The Patriotic Priest Summoned Before aiii'liop Trigger to Stand Trial for Writing OffeLsive Letters. New York, Dec. Fatfier Patrick Corrigan of Hoboken announces in an open letter to the editor of the Freeman's Journal, tonight, that he bus been summoned by Bishop Wigger to stand trial for the letters written by Father Corrigan in opposition to the anti- American spirit of the late German- Catholic congress held in Newark, and it 9 attack upon the public schools. In i the course of his statement, Father Corrigan Bays: "I opposed two things; first, the attempt to Germanize America by means of the church, and second, the denunciation of the public schools as abominations.

My criticism is substantially that which appeared in the editorials of some great dailies, one of which concluded its leading article in these words: 'What we are justified in saying is that they who took part in those proceedings are bad citizens and daoeerous in proportion as they are "I criticised ttw congress as a body. The congress insulted American iiitelli' gence by denouncing the public schools most cherished institution of the abominations. It insulted the American church by denouncing some of our most distinguished prelates. I did not speak of Bishop Wigger in hia capacity as a bishop of a diocese, but simply as a member of that German congress over which he presides every year, outside his own diocese, to the great mortification of his own Englishspeaking flock. My opposition to Cahensleyism the approbation of the Americans from the unanimity of the press, daily and weekly, without distinction as to politics or religion.

"Archbishop Corrigan and Bishop Wigger were not on speaking terms for years till Cahensleyism united them against Archbishop Ireland and Cardinal Gibbone." Father Corrigan says in conclusion: "I received two notice of the coming trial, and when I asked a reasonable extension of time, it was peremptorily refused. This shows how imperfect is our tentative legislation, and how completely it places priest at the mercy of a bishop." THE SPREE OVERDCS. Great Anxiety Felt for a Bljr Atlantic Steamship. New York, Dec. North German Lloyd steamship Spree, at midnight, is 48 hours overdue and anxiety for her safety is very great.

On board are 350 passengers. The worst that is feared is that the big engines are broken down, and will be hard to repair. It is supposed the Spree, being helpless, drifted ouS of the steamer track, for sails are useless, except to steady her. This would explain why Bhe was not sighted by the City of New York or tho Brittannic which both go over the same route. A Mysterious Shook.

Chattanooga, Dec. 2 o'clock this morning a decided shock was felt in the section extending from Hill City to the summit of Missionary ridge. The shock was apparently from north to soulh. Doors in houses flew open, piles of lumber were unset, coal at the shutea rolled down and water vibrated. The residents assert that the shock was caused by the breaking down of some enormous caves which honeycomb the geological formation here.
