THE CUNNINGHAM STORY. The Betrayal of Durrant's Con- fidence Generally Talked •About. WHAT THE DEFENSE THINKS. Prepared to Discredit the Testi- mony of the Yourj? Lady Reporter. \u25a0lefens* in the Durrani case will close Pnea lay n: irnmg.

The opinion is general that Durrani's attorneys have signally failed in proving any portion of the promises made by Deu- pvey in his opening statement. There are many who think that the young medical student seriously injured his cause by going on the witness-stand. He told so many Improbable and at present nnsub- stantiated riea as to make the public mind a ready receptacle for the most sen- sational denouements. This came in the cross-examination, j when Mr. Barnes sprang the Cunningham : story, which proved to be the biggest sen- i nation of the trial. The tirst question visibly staggered Durrant, though it must be said to his credit that oniy for a mo- ment did that wonderful nerve and com- posure Been about to totter and fall. True, Durrant weighed carefully every word he uttered in answer to the unex- pected questions put to him by Mr. Barnes, but that is aot to be wondered at when the \ Seriousness 6l the situation is remembered.

She has" the advantage also that ai woman's testimony is always accorded ! be iief in court as against that of a man, j and sue will for that reason, if for no j other, be a . iging witness. Durrant is to all eppearanccs as little : concerned over the anticipated testimony of Miss Cunningham as he has been ob- j livious to all the other evidence that i looked black for him. Nothing in his -manner indicates that he has anv fear of ! the effect what she may say will nave on his case. \u25a0 [f she tells the truth she can't say much that will hurt me," said he, "for 1only de- to confirm or deny storie3 she brought to me.

They are rather inclined to the belief he is telling the truth. DURRANT ON THE BRAIN. Henry Levy Jumps Into the Bay In Search of the Two Mur- dered Girls. Henry Levy of 530 California street, j',;m; od into the bay from Harrison-street wharf yesterday morning. He was quickly rescued and taken to the Receiving Hos- where it was found that he was none the worse for his ducking. Levy has been drinking heavi^- for some days and haunting police headquarters :.e City Prison. Drink and the Dur- rant case have turned his brain. He told any one who would listen to him that he had a story that would paraiyze Durrant's attorneys aud he was willing to sell the in- formation to the police for $..'O,OOO. Yesterday morning he wended his way toward the water front, and he said the . kept beckoning him or. and on, while some unseen influence told him that at the bottom of the bay he would rind the two murdered girls and learn from them \u25a0who murdered them. He will probably be taken before the In- sanity Commissioners this morning. SHE IS INDIGNANT. Sirs. Roger* Tells Why She Left Oak- laud. WATJBAU, Wis.. Oct. 12.— Mrs. Susie Rogers, who was reported in press dis- patches to have left her husband at Oak- land because he refused to read ' full sten- ographic reports of the Durrant murder case, filling several pages of the news- papers daily, has been found in Wausau. Mrs. Rogers was highly indignant over the reports which had been circulated about her, particularly over statements tele- graphed from here that another canse of her leavi;;? her husband was his cruel and inhuman treatment of her. -ays that during the eleven years of their married life ne never mistreated her and that in: was a liberal provider. As to the Dr.rrantcase Mrs. Rogers told a reporter to-night that she hud never taken any particular interest in it, but ti.at her husband had devoted considerable time to it, for which she soru«?;imes chided him. as he wa- neglecting his business. She said that the cause of her leaving San Francisco was his drinking habits. .•»!!<! that there is no ether reason, lor he was ever an affectionate husband. She added that she would gladly go back to her >an Francisco home if si ie was certain that h» would be temperate :n his habits. Mr-. Rogers says that she did not try to conceal her whereabouts, but that she has been sick since reaching here on Septem- ber :Vj. Mrs. ilogers appears to be a lady i character and intelligent and w- :ving with hex sister, the wifeof Judge Clarke. CYCLISTS IN THE PAEK. Regulation* AftVeting ih« "Motoriin»n of tlie Merry Wheel. There were thousands of people at the park yesterday. , , The Park Commissioners have not, as; yet. taken any action in regard to the re- i quest of the representatives of cycling in- terests a- to roads. and regulations, nor willthey until Commissioner Scott meets with them. The. bicyclers want the cyclers' road extended one mile, but this the Com- missioners say thev cannot do at present for want of funds. ' "In the principal parks in the Ea?t, v ssid Commissioner Austin yesterday, "cyclers are not allowed to ride more than two abreast, and tins regulation has proved very beneficial." "Some of the cyclers," said Superintend- ent McLaren, -'object to the putting of fine broken rock on the roads. Why, a month ago, a gentleman who rode on a wheel from Boston to this City, but whose name I cannot now recall, called on me. He said that he had visited the principal ciiies of the East and "West, had wheeled through all the parks, and that nowhere are th»:re better roads than in Golden Gate Park for cyclers." Justinian Caire hasjDresentert a line speci- men of the bald eagle, stuffed, for" the museum. Early yesterday acting Captain Corn- pliers of the vark police notified bicycle riders on entering the park that they must keep to the right, the same as vehicles. THEOWN FROM A BUGGY. l District Kngine^r Con lon Seriously Hurt ! \u25a0\Vhile Driving to a Fire. District Engineer J. J. Conlon of Relief' Engine ,\ ni»-t with a painful accident while driving to the fire at JOl5 Ix-aven- worth street yesterday afternoon, which will incapacitate him for duty for some ' days. He was driving rapidly along Hyde j street when, at the intersection of Jack- ! son, the front axle of his buu-gy broKe and a jagged point of the steel stuck into one of the horse's hoofs. The animal became \u25a0 frightened and ran away, throwing Conlon and his driver to the pavement. Conlon was unconscious when picxed up, but soon revived and was taken to his home at 1317 California street, where hia injuries were dressed. Besides being badly bruised he is suffering with a badlv lacerated scalp. The injuries though [ serious are not dangerous. The driver I escaped uninjured. SHERITH ISRAEL MEETS The Congregation Honors Its President and Vice- President. The New Synagogue Will Be Built Soon— Ohabal Shalome's Coming Fair. , The annual general meeting of the Con- gregation Sherith Israel was held yester- day at the ve3try -rooms of the Synagogue, Po«it and Taylor streets. Oth'cers of the congregation were elected as follows: President, Lewis Brown: vice- president, Michael Gold water; treasurer, Charles Harris; secretary. Alexander limit ; sexton, A. Leszin&ky; trustees — B. Schi'le- man, Phiiip N. Aronson. H. I. Kowalsky, M. Davidson, Schlesinger, Kuttner, Mish, Dusenbury and Saalburg. Lewis Brown and Michael Goldwater have served four years as president and vice-president, respectively. Their re-elec- tion to office yesterday w&s marked by a presentation to the former of a silver tea and coffee service, and to the latter of a gold-mounted cane. Accompanying each gift was a small morocco-bound album handsomely engrossed with complimentary resolutions. The cover bore a silver plate stating the date and the name of the re- cipient. Rabbi Jacob Nieto made the presenta- tion in a short speech, setting forth the tact and ability displayed by Mr. Brown in the discharge of his "duties as president, and Mr. Goidwaler's efforts toward beauti- fying the new cemetery of the congrega- tion at San Mateo. The seeon-l important item of business was the consideration of measures to be taken regfirding the erection of a ::ew synagogue. As announced in The Call the congregation empowered the board of trustees to sell the property at the corner of Post and Taylor streets" and the new synagogue will be built as soon as this can be done. The various committees on school, ceme- tery, building and other matters will be appointed in the course of a week or two. Tue Congregation Ohabai Shalome was to have elected officers yesterday, but owing to the death of a prominent mem- ber the election was postponed until next week. It is confidently anticipated that ! Rabbi Julius Fryer will be elected for a period of not less than one year. This congregation will hold a fair at Union Square Hali 0:1 the 2Sth inst., to last one week. Extensive preparations are being made for this even'.. The various booths have been apportioned and it has been decided to issue a paper inconnec- I tion with the festival, the proceeds of which will be put to the building fund. PRISON DIRECTORS MEET The Railroad Embankment at Folsom to Be Widened for Two Tracks. Objections by the Folsom Power Company Cause a Modification of the Plan. The Board of State Prison Directors held a meeting yesterday morning in President De Pue'a oltice in this City. It was strictly an executive session and every member of the board was present, as were also Warden Hale of San Quentin and Secre- tary of the Board Ellis. The members of the board desire to widen the railroad embankment along the river near Foisom Prison so that four rails may be laid in place of the single track now used. The preparation of the ground at the prison for the erection of the new rock-crushing plant has caused a great deal of excavating and the earth and rock resulting has !>een used on the embank- ment. This ha? the effect of narrowing the gorge through which the river Mows and the Folsom Power Company, which owns all the land thereabouts and the water rights, considers that this will result to the corporation's detriment, lirnce a viirorous protest has been filed with the board and it was the consideration of this matter which largely o ccupied the direct- ors at the meeting. Consulting Engineer Eekhart was called in. He brought maps and plans with him and expiained the situation, and related the progress of the work on the rock- crushing plant After a long discussion the directors formulated a plan by which they think the objections of the power company will be overcome. According lo this plan the earth excavated will be dis- tributed along the edge of the embank- ment instead of beinu dumped at o;ie point. In this way the embankment will be widened as ranch as is practicable, and any additional room which may b* needed will be secured by blasting out the moun- tain side on the inner edge of the present track. Charles J. Walton, the prison book- keeper at San Qnentin, has returned from a week's furlough. During his absence he was married to Miss Addie Lundberg of San Francisco, Rev. .1. Cumramg Smith officiating. Walden was formerly from San Joaquin County. Ottoya Naya, a Japanese, who was sen- tenced to two years in San Quentin for shooting the wife of the steward of the Pa- cific Yacht Club in Sausalito. was received at the prison during September, but proved to be crazy ami was transferred to the Stockton Insane Asylum next day. He would not put his feet to the ground and had tobe transported in a bacgage-truck. Some more parole cases were taken up at yesterday's meeting of the board, but fa- vorabie actiou was riot taken in any case. WHERE PAIN IS CHARMED. The Work of the San Francisco Training-School for Nurses. TO ALLEVIATE SUFFERING. Proceeds oft the Musicals to Be Used fbr Enlarging the Quarters. "Phe must often tread where it is hard to tread and feel the chili air and watch through the darkness." Out in the big building among the trees whose leaves are thick with dr.st from the unsprir.kled streets, where the chief outlook is '.;pon a long stretch of white road, where often the only object in sight is a plodding horsecar, a small band of I brave, patient worker?? pursues its arduous daily tasks. The passer-by on Potrero avenue gives a : curious glance at such part of the building | as can he seen above the high wall and is • glad it has not been his lot to languish in ; pain within those walls. But be never : gives a thought to the noble young lives of j the care-takers. A few years ago the nurses at the City , and County Hospital were not what they I are to-day. They had not had the careful > training of the girls who are now the min- ; isters to the suffering in the institution. Five years ago Mrs. 6. J. Lemon, wife jof Professor Lemon of Oakland, realized i the needs of the institution in that direc- tion, and chiefly through her instruraen- ; taiity the San Francisco Training-school I for Nones was established. The superintendent was Miss Ida N. i Forsyth of the Philadelphia Hospital. iHer successors in that position have also j been graduates of the Quaker City school, ; and to that fact is due the adoption of the juniform in vogue in St. Thomas' Hospital, |England. The wearers of the natty blue I cotton dresses, jaunty white caps and i small martial-looking blue capes all laugh- ingly claim kinship" to that saint in the , calendar of nurses. Florence Nightingale, j whose pupil Miss Fisher was. "We are her lineal descendants," smil- j ingly avowed one of the corps. The school will graduate rive young I ladies in December. Miss May Meade is a j San Francisco girl. Miss Ransom is from Winnipeg, Miss Wood from Pennsylvania, j Miss Ryan from Boston and Mrs. Reed j from Portland. It is a notable fact that j among the twenty applicants to enter the school are young women from New Eng- land and the South as well as sections less remote. The broad training in an institution of the character of the City and County Hos- pital is invaluable. Scarcely a disease in I the long category of human ills is omitted in the diagnoses of the cases of suffering I within its walls, and the pupils have their j quota of service in the care of all classes of cases. 'You do not seem very robust. How can you endure such sights?" was the query to one of the nurses. "Oh, we can ! rto almost anything if we determine to " was the reply, and then, softly, "they need help »o much, you know." And the qualifications for entrance upon the two years of work and study are a fair education, cheerfulness, patience infinite, steadfastness of purpose, sympathy tem- pered with judgment, and kindly senti- i ment without a trace of far-fetched senti- Imentality, in the language of the supenn- ; tendent. The girl who has dreamy fancies ;about sitting by bedsides and reading to the pain-racked figure will soon have ner illusions dispelled by a demand for more material ministrations. The corps of nurses, who are all pupils jin the school, is nineteen strong, compris- I ing about half the number necessary. Hence the work incumbent upon the young women who comprise it is far from light. Yet, notwithstanding their too onerous j burdens, there are evidences in plenty of faithful performance of their tasks. Miss Mary Patton, the new suporintend- j ent of the San Francisco Training School ! for Norses, is a modest, prepossessing little j Jady. who is zealous in the discharge of her J duties. She has a high ideal of a.nurse's imission, and by her progressive methods jis infusing new energy and enthusiasm in \u25a0 her pupils. One of the alumna of the Training School for Nurses in the Pnila- delpbia Hospital, her career since her graduation, in lfeSG, has been a steady pro- gression. Carrying with her an inspiration 'from the noble life of Miss Alice Fisher, her in- structor, she did efficient service consecu- tively as night superintendent of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Hospital, head nurse "of the Peni.'Hospital, Philadelphia; I chief nurse of the Cooper Hospital at Camdcn. N. J. ; matron of the Phila- j delphia Hospital, in which there were 171*0 inmates, and superintendent of the Train- intr School for Nurses at Allegheny. Mis? Patton contemplates some "valuable innovations in the course of instruction at the City and County Hospital. "Coukin<» 'is a fad with me, if I have one,'' she re*^ marked. '"Too much stress can hardly be hud upon the necessity of nurses being able to cook the delicate dishes required for invalids. "They should know how to prepare nourishing soups, jellies and custards, and cook meats in such a way that they are at once appetizing and digestibie. I hope to j establish at the City and County Hospital a 'liet kitchen, and to make practical ex- i perience in tha-t department an essential part of the course of training for nurses. •I consider such training indispensable, j It is my purpose, too, to include instruc- j tion in fnassage. This is of great assist- I ance in the care of nervous patients. Ido j not intend, of course, to turn out experts. ! in massage but to enable the nurses to em- i ploy it in an intelligent manner when it ' becomes a necessity, as is sometimes the | case to induce sleep." Prominent ladies who know of the faith- i ful, quiet labors of the elect among the i nurses at the City and County Hospital in" the pdst and of the improvements con- templated, are arranging for a musicale, with other attractive features, to be heid at the Occidental parlors on the 33d inst. Home of the best musical talent of the City will contribute its services, and Mis? Lillian O'Connell, a noted New York reader, willassist. In their brief hours of recreation the nurse?, having doffed their natty uniforms for street costumes, go to the oflices and stores of the City to sell tickets for the coming entertainment. Itis an ordeal for the novices, and more than one of the rosy- j cheeked girls whose color never wavers amid the ghastly sierhts of |her ward turns paie when she accosts the !ord of the oHice to present her petition for help, not for herself but the institution she represents. The most ferocious human bear should soften at the sight. The musicale will be for the benefit of the school, in the sense of providing greater facilities for etticient training. The chief purpose will be to furnish additional room? for nurses' quarters, thus making it possible to add ten to the number of pupils now in training. The patronesses are eighteen well-known ladies: Mrs. M. B. M.Toland, Mrs. Robert A. McLean. Mrs. Seldoß S. Wri-nt, Mrs. H. E. Huntinpton, Mrs. Sands >'orman, Mrs. S. W. Holladay. Mrs. G. A. Crux, Mrs. ?. Ella Long. Mrs. George H. Towers, Mrs. C. El wood Brown, Mrs. J. L. Moody, Mrs. Margaret Toucnard, Mrs. Charles A. Cole, Miss Evelyn Moss, Mrs. Van Brunt. Mrs. John Knell, Mrs. Thomas Cole and Mrs. Lliote. The reception committee on that occasion will include Mrs. Robert Mc- Lean, Mrs S. Ella Long, Mrs. G. A. Crux and Mrs. Ueorge H. Powers. TWO GENTLE NURSS3 AT THE CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL. RIGHTS OF WHEELMEN A New Ordinance Defining Them to Be Drawn Up at Once. All Sides Will Meet and Come to Some Agreement Upon the Regulations. The bicycle men are preparing to rally to the support of an ordinance which will , exactly define their rights and positions on the streets. There will be a big gather- : ing at the meeting of the Health and Po- ' lice Committee of the Board of Super- visors Wednesday next, for the matter has I been referred to that body, when it is ex- pected that an ordinance will be drawn up with provisions satisfactory to all con- cerned. In the recent cases which have come up in the Police Court, cases where the de- fendants were offenders again«t the park bicycie ordinance, it was conceded by the attorney of the Park Commission, George A. Knight, that the ordinance was invalid. The ordinance as it now stands defines all the crimes oi which a moving bicycle and its owner can be capable, but it provide? for no punishment of the of- fenders, and so it is valueless. There has always been a question as to whether the Park Commission could pass anything more than a simple regulation, for the Legislature, it is claimed, cannot delegate 'the power to make laws to any si:oh body as the Park Commission. liefore the meeting of the committee Wednesday, a call will be issued to all the bicycle clubs of the City asking that they appoint a committee of three for the pur- pose of attending a general conference, at which the ideas of the wheelmen can be put in shape for presentation. Then at the meeting of the Health and Police Com- mittee a committee of wheelmen will con- fer with tbe Park Commission, and among tbem some conclusion will be arrived at. The organized wheelmen, who are inter- esting themselves in the ordinance, are all in favor of something of the kind, for they say that while their club regulations govern them, the unattached wheelman is fancy free, and he, they say, is the man wtao'brings trouble and discredit on the brotherhood. About the only point upon which the different sides will be at variance is the carrying of a lantern. Representative wheelmen concede the advisability of carrying a iantern in the park, but ask that bugsit's be made to do the same, for frequently when a buggy is heard in the dark it is impossible to tell whether it is going away or bearing down on the rider. Itis claimed to be almost impossible to keep the lamp lighted in some streets, and wholly so on the stones which form pavements in most places. Then, too, the wheelmen say the lamp is always the first thing damaged in a smash-up, and then, if night overtakes the rider, he mus; push his wheel home or run the risk of arrest. It is always going out, always rattling, always spilling oilall over the wheel and the rider too when he touches it. and it is universally condemned as a useless and bothersome fixture. A bell, the wheelmen say, is every bit as good, and if every wheel were compelled to carry a good one, and to use it when necessary, it would serve every purpose of a iantern. The wheelmen are willing to keep down to ten miles an hour, but they think this is not enough for a bicycle. They want to be allowed to run faster than this, as the wheel is mucti more easily handled, is stopped much quicker and takes up very little space in the road. Sunday- Ni^ht Sorinlist Meeting. Pythian Hall was crowded to the doors last night with socialists, who had come to hear a new apostle In the person of Morrison 1. Swift of Boston. While Mr. Swift is an interesting i talker, and appears to have an unlimited stock of socialistic fact.- and risiures at nis tongue's !end, he saw proper, on the occasion of hi- tirst ! appearance in. - San 'Francisco, to |follow . only ! beaten paths.

' > SINGLE TAX IN DELAWARE Congressman Maguire's Ad- dress at Foresters' Hall Last Evening. SENATOR GRAY'S ANSWER. How Democrats and Republicans Regard the Movement — Mr. Scully's Ruse. "The right in Delaware cannot help being of great and lasting good to the single- tax movement all over the world," Con- gressman James <>. Maguire told the ap- preciative audience that gathered at For- ester's Hall last evening to welcome his return from the East. '•It may not succeed in carrying Dela- ware for the single-tax in 1896, though I am hopeful that it will," he added, "but whether the end of the campaign shall be in honorable defeat or a glorious victory, the great stimulus given the movement by the campaign will surely be of lasting value to the cause at large." It was of the Delaware single-tax cam- paign almost wholly that Judge Maguire spoke last evening, hut at the end of his address he reverted to the case of William Scullj' in Illinois, as showing the futility of laws forbidding the alien ownership of land. The Legislature of Illinois passed such a law in 1884, aimed particularly at Scully. He had been driven out of Ireland for his brutality as a landlord, and had in- vented his great wealth in immense farm land holdings in Southern Illinois. After the law passed, Scully came over to Illinois from his London palace, and gave notice of his intention to become a citizen of the United States. A. few days ago he took ihe oath of allegiance to Vncle Sam, and then made preparations for resuming his residence in London. As to the campaign in Delaware, it had progressed to an extraordinary extent in the northern part of the State, the speaker said. And now about the only public question discussed there was the single tax on land value?. There are three counties in the State — Newcastle in the north and Sussex and Essex in the south— and all of them do not cover as large a territory as Santa Barbara County. The single-tax men claim to be able to carry Newcastle County should an election be held at once, and Judge Maguire be- lieves they will certainly be able to carry itby the time of the election in 1886. In Sussex and Essex counties the campaign has not been as successful for the reason that in these counties reside the more con- servative elements. Here, too, in the laFt years of the nineteenth century are to be found the piliory, the ducking-stool and the whipping-post of the sixteenth cen- tury. The local single tax men, however, are very hopeful of carrying the entire stat- in I«**, in being able "to hold the balance of power among the electors of the south- ern counties. They do- not propose to in- stitute a third party movement, but to pledge candidates for the Legislature to vote for a single-tax measure. At first the Democrats were alarmed at the movement and went to consult with United States Senator Gray. They told him it would be necessary in order to save the party in that State to get up counter meetihg3 "ana answer the single-tax speakers. Senator Gray asked who was going to do the an- swering. They reolied that he should do some of it. He told them frankly that he could not answer them. He said he did not want to see the single-tax principle go into effect or the Democratic party lose its grip on the State, but he told his col- leagues plainly that at bottom the single- tax men had" truth and justice on their side and that the iess it was argued the better for its antagonists. Meanwhile the Republicans looked on with complacency. Then a number of educated and distin- guished colored men from Philadelphia and Washington, orators and men of great prominence and ability, came down into Delaware and told the negro Republican voters that the single tax meant freedom from industrial slavery. The Republicans tried to offset this by explaining to the negroes who owned their own homes in tbat State, and consequently had great influence among their less thrifty brethren, that the single tax would increase their land tax. But the negroes answered, said Judge Maguire, that the freedom from all personal taxation would far more than compensate for this slight increase in their land rates, and today nearly all the negro voters in Delaware are single-tax advocates. A NEW SOCIETY CRAZE Children's Cotjllon , Parties, Popular in the East, May "Take" Here. Events In Oakland— Teas, Luncheons and Other Entertain- ments. Children's parties have been given very frequently this season at Newport, and tnese affair?, although even for very young children, are kept up quite late. The cotillon is usually led, however, by one of the older men, Elisna Dyer Jr., Tom Cash- ing and Roger "Winthrop being called upon for the occasion. These entertainments are in every way as handsome as the affairs for the older members of society, and were it not that there is no display of jewels and the frocks of the young giris are naturally sim- i pier than those worn by their sisters and! mothers on similar occasions, there is little difference in these balls. The beauty of her sex is undoubtedly Miss Lillie Oel- riclis, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Oelrichs and the niece of the well-known millionaire Hermann Oelrichs, who arrived here on Saturday last from New York. ; The beaux asked to meet them are college boys. Some few of the elders are asked to help out these juvenile balls, and but for this dancing would be entirely a thing of the past in Newport. The newly organized Fortnightly Club in Oakland "held its first meeting at Mili- tary Hall on Friday evening, October 4. Thi« club, like the Friday Fortnightly Club here, is composed of the jronpg society people and will meet twice a mom h at the above men- tioned hall. Every fourth meeting will be an | assembly evening. The patronesses of the club j are: Mrs. I'renti»s Selby (president), Mrs. J. E. McKlrath, Mrs. H. C. Taft, Mr-. 11. K. Belden, Mrs. i.eorge W. liaker, Mrs. K. B. Beck, Mrs. A. \V. Havens, Mrs. C. E. Palmer, Mrs. K. \Y. (ior- rilland Mrs. W. 11. Thickening. Miss Kittie Stone pave a charming luncheon on Thursday afternoon at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. L. L. liaker. The luncht-on was given in honor of Mrs. Bert Stone (nee Weitae), who has just returned from her bridal tour. Mrs Will Ashe entertained a 'number of friends at a 4 o'clock tea on Thursday at her residence, 1005 Le&venworth street. Theattair was entirely informal. The parlor decorations were whffo chrysanthemums. Mrs. Ashe re- ; ceived hef guests— about twenty-fire of her olti-'rmarried friends-assisted by Miss Bessie Bowie and Miss Kdith Findley". Mrs. Ashe intends to give several other teas during the season. Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dickman gave a delightful musicale at their residence in Berkeley. The musical numbers were contributed by Mine. Seminario, Mrs. John Howard, Mr.-. "Maud Berry Fisher, Miss Mabel Gross, Mrs. Dickman, L. Crepaux and Thomas Richard. The wedding of Dr. Samuel Tevis of Oakland, well-known on this side of the bay as the nephew of Mr.and Mrs. Lloyd Tevis. "and Miss Edith Mauvals, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Romeo M&uvais of San Jose, was the event of the week in society circles in the latter city. It was celebrated Tuesday at high noon at the home of the bride's parents, on Stockton avenue, Rev. Dr. Wakefield performing the ceremonv. The bride's gown <vas a creation of white satin and lace. Her sister. Miss Juliette Maavais, was bridesmaid and Carter Tevis was the best man. About fortv guests were present at the wedding breakfast, which followed the ceremony. The wedding of Miss Nettie Rising, daughter of ex-Judge Rising of Nevada, and J.J.Theo- baM of the Thames &Mersey Insurance Com- pany, was solemnized last Saturday evening at 8:3o o'clock at St. Stephen's Church, on Fulton street, and was a very pretty and interesting vedding. : " The church decorations were extremely pretty.

Constantine Kaufer Saw Him Fall In the Surf and Tried In Vain to Save Him. A young man whose identity is yot yet known slipped off one of the outlying rocks near the Cliff House yesterday after- noon and was lo3t in the surf. Tne Morgue officials had not heard of any such occur- rence in that vicinity at 'a late hour last night, out the testimony of Constantine Kaufer, an eye-witness of the affair, is to the effect that the young man sank some distance from shore, and after struggling for several minutes in a choppy surf was lost from sight. Mr. Kaufer was seen at his home, 1439 Ellis street, last r-vening, and told his story of the drowning as he saw it. "It was about 2 o'clock in the after- noon,' he saiu. "I had gone to the beach with my two boys and found a good fish- ing-place nearly under the ledge of rocks beneath tne Clifl House. A few hundred yards from where 1 sat I noticed a young man on one of the large rocks lying pretty far out in the surf and nearer the car-line terminus. •'One of my boys suddenly called to me and 1 looked up in time to see the strange fisherman stumble and fall headlong into the water. 1hurried back to the beach and then walked out on the small rocks to where he had been sitting. It was very foggy and 1only saw him lor a moment at a time. I called for assistance, but of the large crowd which gathered none seemed willing to follow me out to the rock. I ooutd do nothing to save him. I waited for some time and then took his bag and pole, which I have in the house. Several other persons on the rocks above yelled to me a number of times when they caught a glimpse of him. He was a man" of maybe 25 years and wore a dark suit. I recall nothing else in his appearance." There were two other accidents at the beach yesterday, but in neither case did any one fall into the surf. Mr. Kaufer is positive the nian was drowned. FREEMASON'S CELEBRATE Twenty - Fifth Anniversary of the Scottish Rite in California. Eighty Old Members Observe the Occasion in a Banquet at Masonic Temple. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the or- ganization in California of the Scottish Kite, or Thirty-third Degree, of Freema- sonry, was celebrated at the Masonic Tem- ple in this City Saturday night by a grand banquet. Covers were laid for eighty, all of whom were thirty-second degree Ma- sons, and some of whom had attained to the highest possible decree, that jriven by the Grand Consistory, whose silver anni- versary in this State was being observed. There are four stages to Freemasonry. The I^odge of Perfection gives the first degrees, the Rose Croix gives the nest higher, the Knights of Kotash administer the succeeding degrees up to the thirty- third, and the Grand Consistory gives that supreme degree. In California there are now about 175 Blue lodges, or ordinary Masonic lodges, the first one having been instituted ia 1849; and there are two Grand Consistories, one in this City and one in Los Angeles. The fir.»t Grand Consistory on the Pacific Coast was constituted in this City on Oc- tober 12, I^TU. and was organized by Ebenezer H. Shaw, a thirty-third degree Mason and sovereign grand inspector-gen- eral for the State of California, assisted by Thomas H. Caswell, active member of the Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdic- tion of Cue United States, and Isaac S. Titus, honorary inspector-general, both of whom were thirty-third degree men. Since its organization the Grand Con- sistory has held fifty sessions under the following presiding otncers: William T. Reynolds, John M. Browne, William A. Paviess, Charles F. Brown, David McClure, Theodore EL Goodman, Stephen Wing, William S. Moses, W. Frank Pierce, James B. Merritt, Charles L. Patton. Henry 8. Cline. Preceding the banquet the Temple Quar- tet, consisting of Messrs. OgUvie, Mayer, Bastes and Fleming, sang "The Soldier's Farewell" and "Lovely Night." Colonel Pwalph de Clairmont delivered an address. During the banquet the following mu- sical programme was rendered under the direction of Samuel D. Mayer: Bone, "For All Eternity," byj. F. Fleming, with violin obligato by A. H. Kay ton; song, "Across the Stream,' by J. *K. Ogilvie; violin solo. "Cavatina." by A. 11. Kayton; song, -'If the Waters Could Speak as They Flow," by J. G. Baston. Charles L. Patton officiated as toast- master and called for the following toasts: "Grand Master of the Grand Consistory," re- sponded to by Henry S. Cline. '•The Chief Magistrate of the United States." by Dr. I. K. Stone. •'The Supreme Council. A. and A. S. R., bv Harry I. I.ask. grand preceptor.

In every respect the banqnd was a great success and continued until 1 o'clock Sun- day morning.

THE CUNNINGHAM STORY.The Betrayal of Durrant's Con-

fidence Generally Talked•About.

WHAT THE DEFENSE THINKS.

Prepared to Discredit the Testi-mony of the Yourj? Lady

Reporter.

\u25a0lefens* in the Durrani case willclose Pnea lay n: irnmg. The prosecution

is getting ready its rebuttal testimony, andpromt ite all that has been

. the cross-examination oiFendant.

Within the next forty-eight hours Qen-\u25a0 ••. will face Judge Murphy

the case for the defense."announcement i9expected

to come some time during the morning- -:. next 'iV.esday— certainly not later

than the closing of that day's proceeding*.The opinion is general that Durrani's

attorneys have signally failed in provingany portion of the promises made by Deu-pvey in his opening statement. There aremany who think that the young medicalstudent seriously injured his cause bygoing on the witness-stand. He told somany Improbable and at present nnsub-stantiated riea as to make the publicmind a ready receptacle for the most sen-sational denouements.

This came in the cross-examination, jwhen Mr. Barnes sprang the Cunningham :story, which proved to be the biggest sen- ination of the trial. The tirst questionvisibly staggered Durrant, though it mustbe said to his credit that oniy fora mo-ment did that wonderful nerve and com-posure Been about to totter and fall.

True, Durrant weighed carefully everyword he uttered in answer to the unex-pected questions put to him by Mr.Barnes,but that is aot to be wondered at when the \Seriousness 6l the situation is remembered. J

Tnat Miss Cunningham*!) story, as pub- :lished in The (all, fell I'.ke .1 thun- !dprbolt in the ranks of the defense is 1

but inkeeping with a current opinion thatDurrant lias made some sort of confession jother than the statement which he ac- !knowledges to have written while confined jin the City Prison. i

Even Bhould Durrant's fellow-prisoners \u25a0

be called to the stand the defense may fail iinits efforts to combat Hiss Cunningham's jtestimony, for Captain Lees stoutly asserts ;that sht- lias never been in the employ of jthe >lice, while the lady herself as firmlyinsists she had no uroniptings in the mat- jter, and insists firmly that she took noIoath other than That she would not pub- jlish anything about the prisoner without jfirst acquainting him of it.

She has" the advantage also that aiwoman's testimony is always accorded !beiief in court as against that of a man, jand sue will for that reason, if for no jother, be a . iging witness.

Durrant is to all eppearanccs as little :concerned over the anticipated testimonyof Miss Cunningham as he has been ob- jlivious to all the other evidence that ilooked black for him. Nothing in his-manner indicates that he has anv fear of !the effect what she may say will nave onhis case.

\u25a0 [f she tells the truth she can't say muchthat willhurt me," said he, "for1only de-

to confirm or deny storie3 shebrought to me. Imade no other admis-sions and if she testifies to anything else1have no apprehensions for what it will

that ought to be sufficinicnt toof the truthfulness of her

story."The officials at the County Jail are

DURRANT ON THE BRAIN.Henry Levy Jumps Into the Bay In

Search of the Two Mur-dered Girls.

Henry Levy of 530 California street,j',;m; od into the bay from Harrison-streetwharf yesterday morning. He was quicklyrescued and taken to the Receiving Hos-

where it was found that he was nonethe worse for his ducking.

Levy has been drinking heavi^- for somedays and haunting police headquarters

:.e City Prison. Drink and the Dur-rant case have turned his brain. He toldany one who would listen to him that hehad a story that would paraiyze Durrant'sattorneys aud he was willingto sell the in-formation to the police for $..'O,OOO.

Yesterday morning he wended his waytoward the water front, and he said the. kept beckoning him or. and on,while some unseen influence told him thatat the bottom of the bay he would rind thetwo murdered girls and learn from them\u25a0who murdered them.

He will probably be taken before the In-sanity Commissioners this morning.

ographic reports of the Durrant murdercase, filling several pages of the news-papers daily, has been found in Wausau.Mrs. Rogers was highly indignant over thereports which had been circulated abouther, particularly over statements tele-graphed from here that another canse ofher leavi;;? her husband was his cruel andinhuman treatment of her.

PRISON DIRECTORS MEETThe Railroad Embankment at

Folsom to Be Widened forTwo Tracks.

Objections by the Folsom PowerCompany Cause a Modification

of the Plan.

The Board of State Prison Directors helda meeting yesterday morning in PresidentDe Pue'a oltice in this City. Itwas strictlyan executive session and every member ofthe board was present, as were alsoWarden Hale of San Quentin and Secre-tary of the Board Ellis.

The members of the board desire towiden the railroad embankment along theriver near Foisom Prison so that fourrailsmay be laid in place of the single tracknow used. The preparation of the groundat the prison for the erection of the newrock-crushing plant has caused a greatdeal of excavating and the earth and rockresulting has !>een used on the embank-ment. This ha? the effect of narrowingthe gorge through which the river Mowsand the Folsom Power Company, whichowns all the land thereabouts and thewater rights, considers that this willresultto the corporation's detriment, lirnce aviirorous protest has been filed with theboard and it was the consideration of thismatter which largely o ccupied the direct-ors at the meeting.

Consulting Engineer Eekhart was calledin. He brought maps and plans withhimand expiained the situation, and relatedthe progress of the work on the rock-crushing plant After a long discussionthe directors formulated a plan by whichthey think the objections of the powercompany will be overcome. According lothis plan the earth excavated willbe dis-tributed along the edge of the embank-ment instead of beinu dumped at o;iepoint. In this way the embankment willbe widened as ranch as is practicable, andany additional room which may b*neededwillbe secured by blasting out the moun-tain side on the inner edge of the presenttrack.

Charles J. Walton, the prison book-keeper at San Qnentin, has returned froma week's furlough. During his absence hewas married to Miss Addie Lundberg ofSan Francisco, Rev. .1. Cumramg Smithofficiating. Walden was formerly fromSan Joaquin County.

Hewould not put his feet to the ground andhad tobe transported ina bacgage-truck.

Some more parole cases were taken up atyesterday's meeting of the board, but fa-vorabie actiou was riot taken inany case.

WHERE PAIN IS CHARMED.The Work of the San Francisco

Training-School forNurses.

TO ALLEVIATE SUFFERING.

Proceeds oft the Musicals to BeUsed fbr Enlarging the

Quarters.

"Phe must often tread where it is hardto tread and feel the chili air and watchthrough the darkness."

Out in the big building among the treeswhose leaves are thick with dr.st fromthe unsprir.kled streets, where the chiefoutlook is '.;pon a long stretch of whiteroad, where often the only object in sightis a plodding horsecar, a small band of

Ibrave, patient worker?? pursues its arduousdaily tasks.

The passer-by on Potrero avenue gives a: curious glance at such part of the building| as can he seen above the high wall and is• glad it has not been his lot to languish in;pain within those walls. But be never: gives a thought to the noble young lives ofj the care-takers.

A few years ago the nurses at the City, and County Hospital were not what theyI are to-day. They had not had the careful> training of the girls who are now the min-; isters to the suffering in the institution.

Five years ago Mrs. 6. J. Lemon, wifejof Professor Lemon of Oakland, realizedi the needs of the institution in that direc-

tion, and chiefly through her instruraen-; taiity the San Francisco Training-schoolIfor Nones was established.

The superintendent was Miss Ida N.iForsyth of the Philadelphia Hospital.iHer successors in that position have alsoj been graduates of the Quaker City school,; and to that fact is due the adoption of thejuniform in vogue in St. Thomas' Hospital,|England. The wearers of the natty blueIcotton dresses, jaunty white caps andismall martial-looking blue capes all laugh-ingly claim kinship" to that saint in the, calendar of nurses. Florence Nightingale,

j whose pupil Miss Fisher was."We are her lineal descendants," smil-

j ingly avowed one of the corps.The school will graduate rive young

Iladies in December. Miss May Meade is ajSan Francisco girl. Miss Ransom is from

Winnipeg, Miss Wood from Pennsylvania,jMiss Ryan from Boston and Mrs. Reedj from Portland. It is a notable fact thatj among the twenty applicants to enter theschool are young women from New Eng-land and the South as well as sectionsless remote.

The broad training in an institution ofthe character of the City and County Hos-pital is invaluable. Scarcely a disease in

I the long category of human illsis omittedin the diagnoses of the cases of sufferingI within its walls, and the pupils have their

j quota of service in the care of all classes ofcases.'You do not seem very robust. Howcan you endure such sights?" was thequery to one of the nurses. "Oh, we can

!rto almost anything if we determine to"

was the reply, and then, softly, "theyneed help »o much, you know."

And the qualifications for entrance uponthe two years of work and study are a faireducation, cheerfulness, patience infinite,steadfastness of purpose, sympathy tem-pered with judgment, and kindly senti-

iment without a trace of far-fetched senti-Imentality, in the language of the supenn-; tendent. The girl who has dreamy fancies;about sitting by bedsides and reading to

the pain-racked figure willsoon have nerillusions dispelled by a demand for morematerial ministrations.

The corps of nurses, who are all pupilsjin the school, is nineteen strong, compris-Iing about half the number necessary.

Hence the work incumbent upon the youngwomen who comprise it is far from light.Yet, notwithstanding their too onerousjburdens, there are evidences in plenty offaithful performance of their tasks.

Miss Mary Patton, the new suporintend-jent of the San Francisco Training School!for Norses, is a modest, prepossessing littlejJady. who is zealous in the discharge of her

J duties. She has a high ideal of a.nurse'simission, and by her progressive methodsjis infusing new energy and enthusiasm in

\u25a0 her pupils. One of the alumna of theTraining School for Nurses in the Pnila-delpbia Hospital, her career since hergraduation, in lfeSG, has been a steady pro-gression.

Carrying with her an inspiration 'fromthe noble life of Miss Alice Fisher, her in-structor, she did efficient service consecu-tively as night superintendent of the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania Hospital, headnurse "of the Peni.'Hospital, Philadelphia;

Ichief nurse of the Cooper Hospital atCamdcn. N. J. ;matron of the Phila-

jdelphia Hospital, in which there were 171*0inmates, and superintendent of the Train-intr School for Nurses at Allegheny.

Mis? Patton contemplates some "valuableinnovations in the course of instruction atthe City and County Hospital. "Coukin<»

'is a fad with me, ifI have one,'' she re*^marked. '"Too much stress can hardly behud upon the necessity of nurses beingable to cook the delicate dishes requiredfor invalids.

"They should know how to preparenourishing soups, jellies and custards, andcook meats insuch a way that they are atonce appetizing and digestibie.

Prominent ladies who know of the faith-iful, quiet labors of the elect among the i

nurses at the City and County Hospital in"the pdst and of the improvements con-templated, are arranging for a musicale,with other attractive features, to be heidat the Occidental parlors on the 33d inst.Home of the best musical talent of the Citywill contribute its services, and Mis?Lillian O'Connell, a noted New Yorkreader, willassist.In their brief hours of recreation the

nurse?, having doffed their natty uniformsfor street costumes, go to the oflices andstores of the City to sell tickets for thecoming entertainment.

The musicale will be for the benefit ofthe school, in the sense of providinggreater facilities for etticient training. Thechief purpose will be to furnish additionalroom? for nurses' quarters, thus making itpossible to add ten to the number of pupilsnow in training.

TWO GENTLE NURSS3 AT THE CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL.

RIGHTS OF WHEELMENA New Ordinance Defining

Them to Be Drawn Upat Once.

All Sides Will Meet and Come to

Some Agreement Upon theRegulations.

The bicycle men are preparing to rallyto the support of an ordinance which will

,exactly define their rights and positionson the streets. There will be a big gather-:ing at the meeting of the Health and Po-'lice Committee of the Board of Super-visors Wednesday next, for the matter has

Ibeen referred to that body, when itis ex-pected that an ordinance will be drawn upwith provisions satisfactory to all con-cerned.

In the recent cases which have come upin the Police Court, cases where the de-fendants were offenders again«t the parkbicycie ordinance, it was conceded bythe attorney of the Park Commission,George A. Knight, that the ordinance wasinvalid. The ordinance as it now standsdefines all the crimes oi which a movingbicycle and its owner can be capable, butit provide? for no punishment of the of-fenders, and so it is valueless.

There has always been a question as towhether the Park Commission could passanything more than a simple regulation,for the Legislature, it is claimed, cannotdelegate 'the power to make laws to anysi:oh body as the Park Commission.

liefore the meeting of the committeeWednesday, a call willbe issued to all thebicycle clubs of the City asking that theyappoint a committee of three for the pur-pose of attending a general conference, atwhich the ideas of the wheelmen can beput in shape for presentation. Then atthe meeting of the Health and Police Com-mittee a committee of wheelmen willcon-fer with tbe Park Commission, and amongtbem some conclusion will be arrived at.The organized wheelmen, who are inter-esting themselves in the ordinance, are allin favor of something of the kind, for theysay that while their club regulationsgovern them, the unattached wheelman isfancy free, and he, they say, is the manwtao'brings trouble and discredit on thebrotherhood.

About the only point upon which thedifferent sides will be at variance is thecarrying of a lantern. Representativewheelmen concede the advisability ofcarrying a iantern in the park, but askthat bugsit's be made to do the same, forfrequently when a buggy is heard in thedark it is impossible to tell whether it isgoing away or bearing down on the rider.

Itis claimed to be almost impossible tokeep the lamp lighted in some streets,and wholly so on the stones which formpavements inmost places. Then, too, thewheelmen say the lamp is always the firstthing damaged in a smash-up, and then,ifnight overtakes the rider, he mus; pushhis wheel home or run the risk of arrest.It is always going out, always rattling,always spilling oilall over the wheel andthe rider too when he touches it. and it isuniversally condemned as a useless andbothersome fixture.

A bell, the wheelmen say, is every bit asgood, and ifevery wheel were compelled tocarry a good one, and to use it whennecessary, it would serve every purpose ofa iantern.

The wheelmen are willingto keep downto ten miles an hour, but they think this isnot enough for a bicycle. They want tobe allowed to run faster than this, as thewheel is mucti more easily handled, isstopped much quicker and takes up verylittle space inthe road.

SINGLE TAX IN DELAWARECongressman Maguire's Ad-

dress at Foresters' HallLast Evening.

SENATOR GRAY'S ANSWER.

How Democrats and RepublicansRegard the Movement

—Mr.

Scully's Ruse.

"The right inDelaware cannot help beingof great and lasting good to the single-tax movement all over the world," Con-gressman James <>. Maguire told the ap-preciative audience that gathered at For-ester's Hall last evening to welcome hisreturn from the East.

'•Itmay not succeed in carrying Dela-ware for the single-tax in 1896, though Iam hopeful that it will,"he added, "butwhether the end of the campaign shall bein honorable defeat or a glorious victory,the great stimulus given the movementby the campaign will surely be of lastingvalue to the cause at large."Itwas of the Delaware single-tax cam-

paign almost wholly that Judge Maguirespoke last evening, hut at the end of hisaddress he reverted to the case of WilliamScullj' in Illinois, as showing the futilityof laws forbidding the alien ownership ofland. The Legislature of Illinois passedsuch a law in 1884, aimed particularly atScully. He had been driven out of Irelandfor his brutality as a landlord, and had in-vented his great wealth in immense farmland holdings in Southern Illinois. Afterthe law passed, Scullycame over to Illinoisfrom his London palace, and gave noticeof his intention to become a citizen of theUnited States. A. few days ago he tookihe oath of allegiance to Vncle Sam, andthen made preparations for resuming hisresidence in London.

As to the campaign in Delaware, ithadprogressed to an extraordinary extent inthe northern part of the State, the speakersaid. And now about the only publicquestion discussed there was the single taxon land value?. There are three countiesin the State

—Newcastle in the north andSussex and Essex in the south— and all ofthem do not cover as large a territory asSanta Barbara County.

The single-tax men claim to be able tocarry Newcastle County should an electionbe held at once, and Judge Maguire be-lieves they will certainly be able to carryitby the time of the election in 1886. InSussex and Essex counties the campaignhas not been as successful for the reasonthat in these counties reside the more con-servative elements. Here, too, in the laFtyears of the nineteenth century are to befound the piliory, the ducking-stool andthe whipping-post of the sixteenth cen-tury.

The local single tax men, however, arevery hopeful of carrying the entire stat-in I«**,in being able "to hold the balanceof power among the electors of the south-ern counties. They do-not propose to in-stitute a third party movement, but topledge candidates for the Legislature tovote for a single-tax measure. At first theDemocrats were alarmed at the movementand went to consult with United StatesSenator Gray. They told him it wouldbe necessary in order to save the party inthat State to get up counter meetihg3 "anaanswer the single-tax speakers. SenatorGray asked who was going to do the an-swering. They reolied that he should dosome of it. He told them frankly that hecould not answer them. He said he didnot want to see the single-tax principle gointo effect or the Democratic party lose itsgrip on the State, but he told his col-leagues plainly that at bottom the single-tax men had" truth and justice on theirside and that the iess it was argued thebetter for its antagonists. Meanwhile theRepublicans looked on with complacency.

Then a number of educated and distin-guished colored men from Philadelphiaand Washington, orators and men of greatprominence and ability, came down intoDelaware and told the negro Republicanvoters that the single tax meant freedomfrom industrial slavery. The Republicanstried to offset this by explaining to thenegroes who owned their own homes intbat State, and consequently had greatinfluence among their less thrifty brethren,that the single tax would increase theirland tax. But the negroes answered, saidJudge Maguire, that the freedom from allpersonal taxation would far more thancompensate for this slight increase in theirland rates, and today nearly all the negrovoters inDelaware are single-tax advocates.

FREEMASON'S CELEBRATETwenty

Covers were laid for eighty, allof whom were thirty-second degree Ma-sons, and some of whom had attained tothe highest possible decree, that jriven bythe Grand Consistory, whose silver anni-versary in this State was being observed.
