               George Kelly’s Suicide

 Last night Coroner McMULLEN and a jury held an inquest over the remains of George P. Kelly, who committed suicide last Sunday evening at his home on Sixth street, by swallowing poison. A number of witnesses testified that Kelly had acted in a queer manner all day Sunday, talking almost constantly about a certain greyhound. The jury found that the deceased came to his death from carbolic acid poisoning, self-administered.

 

            Vice and Woe Caused by Side Entrances

 A meeting of the Sacramento Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was held last evening. Reports from officers showed that twenty cases had been treated from February 1st. The principal cases attracting the attention of the Society now are neglect, leading astray and intemperance.

  A Committee representing the Women’s Christian Temperance Union appeared and asked the Society to indorse their appeal to have the side entrances to saloons closed. The Society adopted the following preamble and resolution:

 “Whereas, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has been appealed to express itself concerning the movement to prevent the keeping of saloons having side or private entrances, or alley means of ingress and egress, for customers:

 “Resolved, That this society, while confining itself wholly to the purposes of the organization, deplores the existence of private side and alley entrances to saloons, its statistics showing that more than three-fourths of the vice and woe with which the Society deals is due directly or indirectly to influences traceable to secretive, or partially secretive, liquor drinking by those who do not ordinarily visit saloons by public entrances.”

 

               School Boundaries Changed

 At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors yesterday afternoon, W.A. GETT, on behalf of a number of residents of Capital and Goldberg School Districts, presented a petition asking that the boundary lines of the districts be changed by taking certain territory from Capital District and annexing it to the Goldberg District. The petition was approved by the County Superintendent of Schools HOWARD.

  The prayer of the petitioners was granted.

MRS. J.J. DWYER IS DROWNED IN A WHIRLPOOL

About 9:30 o’clock last night, Mrs. John J. Dwyer, of San Francisco, formerly of Sacramento, was drowned in the Sacramento River at a point alongside the grain corral near Grimes Landing, Colusa County.

Accompanied by her husband, John J. Dwyer, his brother, William Dwyer, and Miss Edna CARROLL, of Sacramento, Mrs. Dwyer took passage on one of the steamboats of the Sacramento Transportation Company in which the Dwyer estate is interested, for a brief outing up the stream.

The night was extremely warm, and the suggestion was made by one of the members of the pleasure party when the boat touched at Grimes Landing that they go in swimming off a sand bar a short distance from the landing. It was a moonlight night, and it was thought that the sport could be indulged in without danger.

The four young folks were bathing in the water when, suddenly, Mrs. Dwyer was caught in s whirlpool. Her danger was at once recognized by her husband and brother-in-law, and they strove desperately to rescue her, but without success. William Dwyer, in his endeavor to draw Mrs. Dwyer from the whirlpool, was himself almost drowned and he was brought to shore unconscious.

Dr. LUHMAN, of Colusa, was immediately sent for. Meanwhile, restoratives were applied, with such good effect that Mr. Dwyer’s life was saved, although he was still in a very weakened condition when Dr. Luhman prescribed for him.

A search was immediately made for the body of Mrs. Dwyer, and it was found an hour later near the point where it had gone down in the swirling water.

The place where the party went in bathing was a sand bar, and it was thought that the slope was gradual enough not to endanger the bathers. But it appears that beyond the bar the water is over twenty feet deep, and the river, as is characteristic of the stream elsewhere, is very treacherous.

The body of Mrs. Dwyer was taken to Colusa and brought to Sacramento to-day, accompanied by the surviving members of the party.

The first information of the sad accident was received in this city late last night at the place of business of John C. ING, President of the Board of Trustees, who is a brother of Mrs. Dwyer. After the session of the Trustees last night, Mr. Ing accompanied one of the members on a drive in an effort to get a breath of cool air, and it was not until his return at a late hour that the sad intelligence was made known to him of his sister’s tragic end.

The circumstances of the drowning, however, were not known to members of the family until communicated to them this morning by The Bee, which had sent to Grimes Landing for the information.

Mrs. Dwyer was a Sacramento girl, having been born and reared here, and having been graduated from the Sacramento High School. Her sister, Miss Martha Ing, died a few years ago, and a short time age her aged father passed away. She was held in high esteem by the young people of the city. The blow of her drowning is a terrible one to her aged mother and two brothers in this city, who have the sympathy of the entire community.

               BEAL ELLIOTT DROWNED IN RIVER WHILE FISHING

 This morning about 10:30 o’clock a 16-year-old boy, Beal ELLIOTT, was drowned near the old Paine break, on the Yolo side of the Sacramento River.

  In company with Allyn BURR, son of R.P. Burr, of this city, Elliott went fishing this morning.

  He fell into the water, and Burr made efforts to rescue him, but without success, his companion sinking for the last time. The body, up to this afternoon, had not been recovered.

  The unfortunate lad was a grandson of Mrs. Theodore DEMING, with whom he lived, at 2022 W Street.

                              

               CAUGHT A BURGLAR; HELD HIM FAST

Two Women Who Were Undaunted In Trying Moment

  Nellie SIEBERT and Ida COULFIELD, employed as chambermaids at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, showed themselves to be brave in spirit to-day. Whether they would hop upon chairs at sight of a mouse may be a question, but they certainly will not run from a burglar.

  Finding a thief in the room of a man named MORAN this morning, engaged during the occupant’s absence, in going through his clothes, they straight way captured him and held him by the throat until their cries for the police brought assistance.

  Officer KOENING arrived on the scene and took the thief in custody. He was recognized as Guff MEYER, who, the police say, is wanted for other room burglaries in town.
