FORTUNE TURNEDIN HISFAVOR.
Riley Grannan Had a Good Day,Taking thousands Out of
the Ring.
THE FAVORITES DIDN'T WIN.
"Whitestone Defeated Rey Al-fonso at a Mile inFast
Time.
After experiencing many varying re-verses that would have disheartened many
;i [ess ;s bettor, Dame Fortuneis beginning to smile on Riley Grannan,
and with one more such successful day ashe had yesterday, bis losses during themeeting, which have been estimated any-wherefrom $30,000 to $1,000,000. will havebeen na»-e than regained.l While the dar-|ng young plunger did not in the true turfsense of iii<" word "kill"the ring yester-lay. he .- accredited with taking from
|!12,000 0ut of it by the victories•
i Bees, Ferris Hartman andWhitestone. Many of the bookies thateagerly sought his money before the tide
irned in his favor became very
wary as the day wore on. and when Rileyskippe.-i around the betting ringbefore the
lasi ran with his "bet you $400," the astute
penciler glanced at his sheet and was veryn t to say, "Am pretty full on that, Riley;I'!! take $100." They missed an oppor-tunity, however, of getting some of the
er'B earnings back, for Mutineer didDot finish in the first three.
I? w.; a poor day for favorites, everyfirst choice on the card being clowned.
Lucky Dog scared all out of the lirst raceand ii ired off, another being sub-Etituted in its stead, the second race beingfun ;•.? ill"tirst.

Rees was a very agreeable surprise to hisfriends, who feared the injury to his legwould'prevent him from riding with hisold-time cleverness.

Motto was again heavily backed in thesecond race, but ran disappointingly.
Asked by a friend if lie beat the firstrace, Pittsburg Phil's answer was to godown in his pocket and withdraw a bunchof tickets on Royal Plush the thickness ofa pack of playing-cards. He met withpoor success throughout the day until thelast race, when he pulled out somewhat byplaying Kathleen.
Ed Purser bet some money on the "hotthing," Joan. The filly ran well at herfirst attempt and will probably do betternext time out.
By Holly held some Centurion ticketson the last race.
Charley t^uinn placed some bets on ElTirano. The delay at the post killed hischance of winning"
Abe Levy did not look as pleasant asusual after the Roy Alfonso race. He hada pood bet down on the bay colt.
Grannan was reported to have won $5000by the victory of Ferris Hartman.
Harry Harris, the partner of GeorgeWheelock, took one bet of $1000 on White-stone from Grannan.
One of the happiest men on the racetrackyesterday was Ferris Hartman. the p<spularcomedian of the Tivoli. Barney Schreibernamed his good Woodlands gelding afterthe man of mirth, and on each of the geld-ing's two former attempts the latter hadbeen loyal to his namesake and had hischecks down. Not only that, but Ferris•whispered itaround among the membersof the company of which, he is jestersupreme that they had better have a betdown on Barney's youngster, and on hislirst start the Tivoli company was wellrepresented at the track. Theyoungster ran unplaced ami at hissecond start the comedian's horse talk wasspent on ears that heard not. This timehe tinished third. Yesterday Ferris wasalone in his glory, not even Phil Bransontaking stock enough in Hartman's tip toget there in time to see the race. "W ell,yesterday he won and won easily, and thegay comedian was $300 richer in pocket.Ferris shook Carr by the hand as Felixpassed in to the weighing-room, and re-turning to the betting ring was tenderedan ovation by his friends. Stepping up onthe block alongside of Barney Schreiber,the comedian, with a face radiant withsmiles, raised his hat in acknowledgmentof the courtesy. Turning to Phil McKimhe said, "Didn't Itell youIwas no gaodtill the third act?"

BAN BURNS WILL NOT PAY.The Ghosts of the Old Embez-
zlement Cases Again inthe Light.
He Says That He Did Not Em-ploy Attorney A.L.Hart to
Defend Him.
The half-forgotten suits which werebrought against Dan Burns in the Sacra-mento courts, and in which he defendedhimself against charges of embezzling andmisappropriating State money, were oncemore given publicity ina paper filed in theCounty Clerk's office yesterday. The doc-ument was Burns' answer to the suit of A.L. Hart to recover several thousand dollarsin attorney's fees. He itwas who defendedBurns when the charges were being pressedagainst the ex-boss, and Hart thought hisservices worth a large amount.
As his answer shows, Burns, the defend-ant, is erf a different opinion. He does not\u25a0want to pay for the services rendered, andtherefore denies that he owes Hart any-thingat all.
Upon a shortage in his accounts amount-ing to $31,734 64, which Burns, the thenSecretary of State, could not satisfactorilyaccount for, he was indicted by the GrandJury of Sacramento and was tried inboththe Police and the Superior courts of thatcounty.
Hart set forth that he defended Burnson an indictment in the Superior Court ofSacramento on November 2f>, 18*1; againon December 2,1884, he defended Burnson six indictments for embezzlement andfour for felony, and on November 24, Ishs,he defended him and his bondsmen in asuit to recover the money missing. Allthese claims of Hart are mentioned inBurns' answer and his defense ineach isthe same. He says he never employedHart to defend him and what was done byHart was done gratuitously and unsoli-cited.
When the cases came up, the answerstates, Hart offered his services, and hemade no agreement as to fee or condition-.The defendant thought he was workinggratuitously, and when it was all over andBurns had been released by the Sacramentocourts, Burns went to his friencr Hart andgave him $2000. This was not as a fee, theanswer is careful to state, but was given asa sign of gratitude and as a sign that thevalue of Hart's services were appreciatedHart held that the $2000 was the first pay-ment on a $25,000 fee, but this Mr. Burns,through his attorneys, Estee and Miller,denies. Itwas purely a gift of gratitudefor unsolicited services, and on that linethe case willbe fought.
AT LIBERTY ONCEMORE.Mrs. Dean, the Counterfeiter, Ig Now
Out on Bonds.Mrs. W. J. Farrow, alias Dean, was re-
leased from custody yesterday on bail.Secret Service Agent Harris consented toher bail being reduced to $1000, and Mrs.Henrietta Jans-en and Miss Meta Jansen,of Berkeley, became sureties for her. Mrs.Dean willlivewith the Jansens inBerkeleyuntil after her trial. She was brought oveVfrom the Alameda county jail by UnitedStates Marshal Baldwh yesterday after-noon, and as soon a? her bond was ap-proved she was given her liberty. Whenshe reached the sidewalk in company withher friends she drew a long breath and ex-claimed: "At liberty once more, thankGod." IfMrs. Dean will only consent toassist the Government by turning State'sevidence the case against her will be dis-missed.
POLO-PLAYERSFROM THENORTH.
Army Officers From WallaWalla WillPlay Against
Burlingame.
THE PUBLIC MAY VIEW IT.
Talbot CliftonWillSoon StartHis Daily Coach— A Tan-
dem Club.
The public willsoon have an opportunityto get a taste of polo, and at the same time
the polo-players at Burlingame willhavetheir first chance to test their prowessagainst an outside team. The officers ofthe Fourth United States Cavalry, sta-tioned at Walla Walla, have for some time-been trying to arrange to play with theBurlingame people, and now about all thepreparations have been made for a tourna-
ment to begin on the 30th of this month.The Riverside Polo Club has been asked tojoin in the tournment, but itis not certainyet that itwilldo so.
The Walla Walla people willbring downa team of five players, about a dozen poniesand a number of men to care for them.This all will cost a good deal of money,and, in order to help out, the BurlingameClub will charge an admission fee to thegames. Special trains will be run fromthis city landing the visitors at the grounds.Tickets willbe sold to the public coveringthe fare both ways and admission to thegrounds.
The tournament will probably cover aweek, with games on Saturday, the 30thinst.. and the following Wednesday andSaturday. Until it is definitely knownwhether the Riverside Club willsend up ateam the schedule of games willnot be set-tlednpon.
The Walla Walla officers have beenplaying for some time, and several of themhavt had considerable experience in theEast. The younger officers in the armyhave been playing polo of late years con-siderably, as it adds much to their horse-manship, particularly in teaching themcommand over their horses.
Lieutenant Cassat, a son of PresidentCassat of the Pennsylvania Railway is themost prominent member of the northernteam and is an experienced polo-player.
The Burlingame team of four will bemade up from a few regular players, name-ly: Harold Wheeler, H. R. Simpkins, R.M. Tobin, J. S. Tobin, John Lawson, W. P.A. Brewer, C. P. Tobin, J. P. H. Howardand H. H.Hinshaw. But C. P. Tobin andBrewer will probably be absent, and thereremain very few to chose from. Judgingfrom the remarks of visitors, old polo-players from India and the Eastern States,the* Burlingame players would not rankvery high on their fields. This is due tofliefact that they have had no opportuni-ties to play withcrack players, just as menwillnever learn to play good billiards un-less they have some practice withexperts.So the Burlingame people do not lookforward with great confidence to victoiyover the men from the north and thesouth, while they welcome the opportunityto get some good lessons. The men atRiverside are reported to play a fine game.
The polo grounds at Burlingame are inexcellent condition at present
—green,
springy and smooth. They become dryand dusty in summer, as the club has noarrangement for watering them. However,a new ten-acre polo field is being laidoutnearer the clubhouse, with pipes to supplywater to keep itgreen the year round. Ttwillbe ready next year for permanent use.
Grounds are also being laid out for trap-shooting, and a supply of special electrictraps has been brought from the East.This was an inducement for a number oftrap-shooters to join the club lately, andthat sport willin future be a feature of theclub.
Talbot Clifton's new daily stage line fromthe Palace Hotel to Burlingame will bestarted as soon as the coach he had madein England arrives. He willprobably runonce a week or so as far as Menlo. Thecoach will leave the Palace Hotel in themorning and return from Burlingame inthe evening. The distance covered willbenineteen miles each way. He will havethe use also of the club coach, and two orthree other members will take turns withhim at the whip. The charge for passagewillbe about $2 50 with something extrafor the box seat. To keep up the properlyappointed coaches, care for the twenty-fivethoroughbred horses am' have everything"quite rit" will take a lot of money, andMr. Clifton thinks he will be extremelyluckyifhe comes out even. But he will,he says, have given the people of San Fran-cisco a taste ofgood old coaching.
Several of the men at Burlingame arestarting a tandem club. Five or six ofthem have traps and tandem horses, anditis proposed to have periodical tandemmeets once a week or so and drive ondown toward Menlo or some other placewhere the roads are good, have a lunchtogether and then drive back home.
PHYSIOGNOMY AS A SCIENCE.The Right and Title to a Book
on the Subject Nowon Trial.
Dr.J. Simms Says Mrs. M.StantonHas Infringed His Copy-
RIGHT.
The taking of testimony in the case ofJoseph Simms against Mary O. Stantonwas continued before United States Com-missioner Heacock yesterday. Mrs. ClaraFoltt and Joseph D. Redding appeared ascounsel for Dr. Simms, while Mrs. Stan-ton's interests were represented by Whea-ton, Kalloch & Kierce and Fisher Ames.The trouble arose over a book on physi-ognomy which Dr. Simms copyrightedand published. Mrs. Stanton later pub-lished a book on the same subject and Dr.Simms now asserts that she pirated manyof his ideas and took copious extracts fromhis volume.
The entire session was taken Tipby Mrs.Stanton in reading extracts from Dr.Simms' work and the corresponding pas-sages in her own book. She then quotedfrom the works of other authors to showthat they had published the same ideasyears before Simms had ever thought ofwritinga book. She insisted upon makingcomments upon everything she testified toarid Mrs. Foltz vigorously objected.Finally Mrs. Stanton was allowed to baveher own way,"as the Commissioner is onlyempowered to take the testimony as givenand note the objections.
Attorney Wheaton had very little to doexcept correct an occasional lapse of gram-mar on the part o< his client. In thisrespect Dr. Simms notes a number oflapses in Mrs. Stanton's book. For in-stance, "Where the noses of scientists is ob-served to be shorter and DToader" ;"Pugnoses, hence pugnacity, the verb express-ive of a quarrelsome disposition."
"Any schoolboy versed in grammar,"comments the doctor, "could inform Mrs.Stanton that pugnacity is a noun and nota verb." He also accuses her of spellingBradlaugh, Bradlaw; Laocoon, Laokoon ;Hercules, Herakles, 1' and Patrick Henry,Henri.
Toward the close of the session Mrs.Stanton began reading from a book writtenby Professor Ross of Edinburgh over a cen-
tury ago. Itwas bound and had the ap-pearance of a bulky volume. Mrs. Foltz,after a time, became a little suspicious,and going around to Mrs. Stanton's chair,found that lady reading from a manu-script c»py of the book. She at once ob-jected, and Mrs. Stanton's attorney re-marked that her objection was well taken,as the original volume should be pro-duced. Commissioner Heacock ordered allthe testimony in that line stricken out.The case willbe continued this afternoon.

THE AWFUL SIEGE OF DELHIExperience of Mrs. Harriet
Tytler During the Reign
of Terror.
Executions and Murders the
Order of the Day—AnEventful Life.
There are few women whose lives havebeen so eventful and thrilling as that ofMrs. Harriet Tytler, who is now in thecitylecturing on India. Mrs. Tytler en-joys the distinction of having been the
only woman who was present at the ter-rible siege of Delhi, which shocked thestoutest hearts and drove men to madness.
Mrs. Tytler belongs to a race of soldiers.Her father was an officer, her husband anofficer and she is a mother of officers.She is now 65 years of age, and fifty ofthese years have been spent inIndian gar-risons. She is a pleasant little woman,bright and intelligent."Iwas born in India," she said yester-
day. "I am a Hindustanee by instinct,and pray to my Maker in that tongue. Ihave had an eventful career. My motherwas a woman of French descent, whomarri«d my father in England. They re-turned to India shortly after their mar-riage and a few years later Iwas born.Almost the first thingIcan remember is atrip with my parents up the Ganges.There was a dreadful famine in the coun-try at 'the time, and both banks of theriver were lined with human beings whowere dying of starvation. We went tothe assistance of some, but could affordthe poor wretches but little relief. Intimeoffamine the Ganges is fairly covered withcorpses or skeletons. Th* natives believethe river is sacred, and all they pray foris that their bodies may be washed in itswaters after lifehas tied."
Mrs. Tytler then went to England to beeducated, and on her return to India sheheard of her father's death. She was mar-ried to Colonel Kobert C. Tytler soon afterand followed him into the fever-strickendistricts of the peninsula. The great ex-perience of her life, however, was at themassacre and siege of Delhi, where shewas the only woman with the troops."Ilook back upon that terrible period in
my history withpain and horror after allthese years," said Mrs. Tytler. "IOOUldhave escaped the sufferings that fell to mylot afteAvard had Inot decided to re muiuby my husband's side. He entreated m«to leave Delhi while there was yet time,but Ideclined to do so.
"During the siege Ilived with my twochildren in a cart covered with rug*. 1was doing nicely until June 21, 1857, whenmy son, whom Ichristened Stuulc \Delhi-Force was born. Itwas a brightmoonlight night and the shells wen- fall-ingabout us everywhere. Allthe clothingIhad for the little stranger was aptoceolflannel. Iwas my own nurse, and hadlittle comforts to enjoy, but our dangerwas so imminent that t did not think ofinconveniences.
"During the time we were there Isawmen butchered by fiends as ifthey were cat-tle. Isaw battalions mowed down likograss to the cry, 'No quarter.' Executions,assassinations, crimes of every descriptionwere so frequent we became in a wayhardened to all we saw. My family Hadescaped the massacre with a poor supplyof clothing and of course we suffered ter-ribly. The bombardment was incessant,and shells burst about us inevery direc-tion. Yet through it all my little babynever winked an eye."
The story of Mrs. Tytler's life during thegreat Sepoy rebellionreads likea romance.She gives a curious explanation of thecauses that led to the mutiny,' the mainone being the alleged fact that the Englishgreased the cartridges for the Mohamme-dan soldiers. Her husband's regiment de-serted him almost to a man, but he waswell thought of by his officers, and as a re-sult they spared the lives of himself andfamily.
Mrs. Tytler will deliver the first of aseries of lectures at the old Young Men'sChristian Association Hail on Sutter streetthis afternoon. Bhe will relate remi-niscences of the rebellion and with the aidofcurios brought with her from India willgive an illustration of the scenes of horrorshe saw and tne privations endured for bomany years.

MR. M`BIRNEY'SPAIR OF WIDOWS.
One Comes From the East toClaim the Homestead of
the Other.
A QUEER LEGAL TANGLE.
How a Gay Deceiver Was Sup-ported by Two Confiding
Women.
Samuel Mcßirney was a gay deceivervrho lived and died in the trusting smilesof two wives who loved and supportedhim, and he is probably even now chuck-ling in glee over the legal tangle which hisevil ways made ofthe women's affairs. Hewas married iirst in Ohio. In1874 he cameto California, and while still fettered to hisOhio love he bestowed the remnant of hisaffections upon a Western woman whowas divorced from her husband, and, asshe thought, legally married her.
With extensive assistance from wife No.2Mcßirney succeeded in acquiring somelittleproperty, and upon this and a triflethat now and then came from Ohio hemanaged to liveinpeace and to work butlittle. When he died his local widow tileda homestead upon the property which sheand Mcßirney owned in commen. Butthe news of the death of the doubly weddedMcßirney traveled eastward rapidly, andthe widow in Cincinnati sent out here tosee what property her long-absent husbandhad left. She found first of all a house andlot on Pine street, near Broderick, in thiscity,and living upon itwas Mrs. McßirneyNo. 2 and a family of three grown-up chil-dren. Mrs. Mcßirney found, too, that ahomestead had been filed on the property,and this she moved to set aside. The casewas tried yesterday before Judge Slack,and for piirely legal reasons the EasternMrs. Mcßirney 's petition was granted, andthe homestead has been set aside to her.
By the testimony submitted yesterda}- itwas shown that Mcßirr-r-y's course of de-ception was complete ana premeditated.
Mrs. Mary A., who was the Ohio wife,through her attorney, submitted letterswhich her recreant spouse had written toher, and also the majriage certificate datedyears ago back in the '60's, which bore testi-mony to the fact that she and Mcßirneywere one.
Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney, who wa3 theCalifornia wife, had an 'answer to thecertificate, however. Her husband had toldher, she said, that years before he hadmarried her he had met a woman in theEast, that she had borne him. a son, butthat the woman had never been anythingto him. To quiet her he had said, he hadforged a marriage certificate, and althoughshe kept it and believed in it,itmeantnothing. Itwas wife number 2, however,whom he was deceiviug ( for the certificateshowed on its face that it was a legal docu-ment.
Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney showed alsothat the property upon which the home-stead bad been tiled was purchased almostentirely with her money after her mar-riage with Mcßirney, but here a strangeturn of the law takes it from her. Unfor-tunately, as was said by the court, shenever had been the wife of Mcßirney andcould therefore have no claim upon com-munity property. On the other hand Mrs.Mary A. Mcßirney had always been herhusband's wife, so to speak, and half of allproperty which he left at his death be-longed of right to her. Itmade no legaldifference, so far as the case under trialwas concerned, whose money purchasedthe prof>erty so long; as Mcßirney had alawful title to it,and it then became com-munity property between himself and histrue wife. She, therefore, was given thehomestead.
Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney has still anotherchance, however. In a civilaction she canshow that it was her money which boughtthe property, and so little was Mcßirneyfinancially interested in it her attorneyshave no doubt that it will all be givenback to her.

ANOTHER TERM FOR SMITH.He Would Have Done Better
Had He Held His Tongue
Last Friday.
A Quick Conviction for the CarRobbery— Wilson's
Record.
John Smith, who raised such a scene inJudge Wallace's courtroom last Friday
morning, is probably wishing he had heldhis tongue. He was sentenced to twentyyears' imprisonment for robbing a gro-cery, and itwas intended to let the chargeof robbery for holding-up a Jackson-streetcar drop. On account of his behavior,however, the charge was brought to trialyesterday, and within a few minutes afterthe case went to the juryhe was convicted.He willbe sentenced for the second chargenext Monday.
Some sympathy and considerable criti-cism were caused by the sentences whichJudge Wallace imposed on Smith and hispartner in crime, John Wilson, last Fri-day. Wilson was given forty years on twocharges ©f robbery and Smith was giventwenty years on one charge. It waspleaded in favor of the two criminals thatboth were only 17 years of age, and alsothat they tnen appeared for the first timebefore a court as defendants. Inview ofthis fact and because Judge Wallace im-posed the full limit in each case, the courtwas severely commented upon on allsides, but a letter from Portland, Or., set-ting forth the record of John Wilson,shows that Judge Wallace was not farwrong in his judgments. .
The letter is from Detective H.D. Griffinof the Portland police force, to DetectiveEd Griliinof the local police. Itis as fol-lows:
Sir: Yours of the 10th came to hand, and !also tho photos. Among the bunch is one very jfamiliar face, No. 12,533, whom you call Wil-son. He is known to us from childhood andwas raised near here. Inthe year 'B9 he wasarrested here by Detective Barry and myselffor stealing a watch from a man on the Eastside of tho river,but was turned over to hisparents, who lived in tho State of Washingtonat a place called Washongal. In 1891 he wasarrested by Detectives Summers and Day forrobbing a boat house with two others, and wasturnea over to the Boys' and Girls' AidSociety.lie waft at that time registered as 17 years ofage.' 7His name isCharles Donnelly,alias "Kid"Donnelly.
On March 22, 1893, he was arrested in com-pany with a man named Lewis by Simmons !Gaetzmacher, Hokapplc and Griffin"forrobbingthe reeidenee of L.F. Chemin in thiscitv. It
'was a daylight joband the property was recov-ered. This time he pave the name of JohnKeiman, and after a trial he was sent to theOregon "pen" for a term of four years. After ashort time he was sent to the reform schooland remained bnt a short time there. Then heescaped, and the next thing we heard of himwhs from Seattle in1898, when he, incompanywith some one else, was arrested by an officerfordoing a job in the nighttime. While theofficer was in the act of ringingfor the patrolwagon Donnelly showed fight, and alter an ex-change of shots Donnelly was woundedbybeing shot in the stomach. He recovered™mf t?me a,, ?r when he was Bent to the WallaWalla "pen." forone year aad was released in
the latter part of1894. We heard he spent onenighthere after his release, but which wav hewt-nt we cannot tell. He is a first-classman:he is also dangerous; he has been paying someattention to safe work oflate years. • • •
"H.D.Griftik.Wilson has been taken to Folsom prison.
On the way up he fought several times tofree himself from Deputies Riley and Gib-ncy, who went with him, and it was onlyafter putting all the shackles possible uponhim that he was finally safely landed. Thepolice expect to receive record of Smith ina few days.
