By order of General Miles a
medical board composed of three
experts visited Lieutenant Welsh
at the camp at Evenston with a
view to deciding as to his sanity
Colonol Crofton having given it as
his opinion that Welsh was crazy
when he assaulted him. Major
Girard Captain Clendenning and
Captain Munuay acted as the com-
missioners. After an extended ex-
amination the insanity commis-
sion reached an agreement and an-
nounced that they had found Lieu-
tenant Welsh perfectly sane and
entirely responsible for his actions.
The finding will necessitate a court
martial.
A general court martial is in ses-
sion today. Among other cases to be
brought before it will be that of
the parties who have recently been
charged with unlawfully disposing
of government grain.

LATE TELEGRAPH NEWS'
THE VANDERBILT SCANDAL.
Mrs. V. Seems to Have Grounds for
Divorce Vide the Following
Lund History.
San Francisco Aug. 30.—Nellie
Neustrotter is the young woman
said to be the cause of the family
troubles of William K. Vanderbilt.
She is well known here. She is a
native of Eureka Nev. was edu-
cated at Miles seminary Alameda
county resided for a number of
years in San Francisco and has
frequently figured in escapades
that have won her notoriety both
in the new and old world. She is
29 or 30 years of age.
Her father Ben Cohen kept a
clothing store in Eureka and be-
came wealthy. £he returned to Eu-
reka from the seminary when she
was IS years old and was the
belle of the town. Pretty witty
graceful and vivacious she pos-
sessed all the requirements for
breaking hearts. Her first victim
was the nephew of a well-
known capitalist and her Ma-
son with him created such
scandal that her parents sent her
to the care of friends in San Fran-
cisco. The change failed to make
the desired reformation and she
soon became a marked figure on
Kearney and Larkel streets dur-
ing the afternoon. Among her
admirers was a wealthy Hebrew
named Rothschild who laid
himself and his fortune at her
feet. She utilized them both until
she fell in love with a cigar drum-
mer named Henry Neustrotter.
She married Neustrotter in ’B4 and
all went well for a time. Her hus-
band’s business compelled him to
be out of the city most of the time
and during his absence Nellie led
a rapid life. She was a boon com-
panion of all the fast young
men about town and the end
came in ’B7. She left her
husband and went to New York in
company with Laura Edelman a
noted woman of Los Angelos.
Neustrotter secured a divorce
from Nellie and she continued
to lead a gay life in New York.
She captured t£e heart of a mil-
lionaire manufacturer who gave
her a sumptuous fiat horses and
carriages and all the money
she could spend. He took her to
Europe where she traveled like a
princess. When she returned to
New York she dazzled the people
with the elegance of her Worth
dresses ai>A the brilliancy of her
jewels.
In’9o she returned to San Fran-
cisco to visit her parents who had
removed to this city from Eureka.
She took rooms at the leading
hotel dressed better than any
woman in town wore thousands of
dollars’worth of gems and spent
money as freely as if she had an
unlimited letter of credit on the
United States mint.
Her money began to give out
and she went back to New York
for more taking with her a pretty
Oakland girl. The next heard
from her was that she had gone
to Europe again and had been
ejected from the Continental
hotel in Paris. To her parents she
wrote she was studying for the
stage and she always concealed
from them the fact that she was
leading a fast life. She wrote she
was coming to San Francisco in Oc-
tober but probably her adventure
with Mr. Vanderbilt may interfere
with her plans.

Opening Session of the Great Con-
vention for the Advancement
of Southern Interests.
WASHINGTON D. C. Aug. 30.—
The southern development meet-
ing was called to order in Willard’s
hall by Hon. Samuel Blackwell
of Alabama today. Prayer was
first offered by Rev. E. B. Bagley
chaplain of the House of Represen-
tatives. Commissioner John W.
Ross of the District of Columbia
made the address of welcome evok-
ing applause by a reference to the
new south whose fine atmosphere
fertile lands with coal and iron
beneath the surface and abundant
timber above it was only waiting
the touch of capital backed by
courage and ability.
He spoke of the bill introduced
in the Senate by Senator Walsh of
Georgia for a permanent exhibit
of the resources of the south but
questioned whether an exhibit of
the resources of one section would
be voted for by Congress and
thought a permanent exhibit of
the resources of the entire country
would be provided for by Congress
and the south would be the great-
est beneficiary.
In reply Chairman Blackwell
said the south has everything nec-
essary for her development ex-
cept money and muscle. As an
era of prosperity was dawning af-
ter the financial panic capital is
realizing they must look to the
south.
Temporary organization was ef-
fected by the election of Samuel
Blackwell as chairman and T. L
Barrow of West Virginia secre-
tary.

SHORT SNAPPERS.
Bexar county got only a few
scraps of bones at the Black and
Tan convention.
The knock-out at Dallas does in
no way affect the candidacy for
Judge Noonan.
J.B.Schmitz the Reform Repub-
lican candidate for governor will
take no prohibition in his.
Next Monday being Labor Day
the council will probably meet and
adjourn over until next Tuesday.
Ed. Froebose although he has
been training with the Big Four
cannot be traded off against Noo-
nan.
Voting for a Republican state
ticket may be regarded as a pleas-
ant pastime.
Every one rejoices that but few
West Texas Republicans took part
in the Cuney convention.
Dr. Jno. Grant the chairman of
the “Cuneyites” was at one time a
resident of San Antonio—he is a
man without prominence.
Boss Cuney knocked out Boss
Ferguson at Dallas yesterday.
The pale-faced brothers were not
in it except as lookers on.
A Prohib. on top and along near
the tail a copper colored gentle-
man is nominated to look after
public schools.
Ex-Alderman Fritz Schreiner
one of our ancient Democrats
talks favorably forjudge Noonan
for Congress.
John Campbell and Henry Um-
scheid backed by Bryan Callaghan
and Morrill Poor will make a
strong combination.
Ed. Froboese and George Paschal
will throw their whole weight for
Noonan. Joe and Thad must get
off the fence.
The reform Republicans of the
state have only to be patient
steadfast and hopeful—their cause
will win.
Judge Noonan is the nominee of
all factions of the Republican par-
ty as he is the choice of the people
regardless of party.
The late Republican convention
at Dallas was a fight between two
colored bosses Cuney and Fergu-
son in which the few white men
present played bottle holders.
There is a wide difference between
the wide-awake successful Reform
Republican candidate H. B.
Schmitz and the sleepy Cuney
candidate Makemson.
No one has had nerve enough
yet to bob up against John Camp-
bell for Sheriff and he had better
not unless he announces for Noo-
nan.
The Republican state split is as
wide open as ever and unless
Cuneyism is put aside there will
be two delegations to the next Na-
tional Republican convention.
By the retirement of Chairman
Moore and the failure to secure
Hon. E. 11. Terrell as chairman
the Cuney faction lost the confi-
dence of tho best element of that
faction.
Aiderman Jack Daugherty after
introducing several resolutions has
at last succeeded in getting the
car track of the San Antonio Street
Bailway company at the junction
of Commerce and Narp streets
filled to a level with the street.
Alderman Galley Newton will
return from California this week
and the several aldermen are ex-
pected to rise up and ask what has
become of the petitions for the ex-
tension of the water mains.
“Boss Cuney” says the Express
“is able to crack the whip over the
back of the Republican party in
Texas.” Tho Reform Republican
party can be congratulated that
the whip of the “boss” does not hit
their backs.

MORE LIGHT
ON TEE O’MALLEY CHILD MUBDEE.
News From His Former Home—
What Hie Brother-in-Law Of-
iers—When the Cor-
oner Reports.
The O'Malley murder case still
occupies the public attention and
conversation.
The funeral of the murdered
baby occurred yesterday afternoon.
The mother and its aunt attended
the funeral. The father was not
released from jail to attend it.
He seems quite calm and col-
lected now; eats and sleeps well
and smokes a great many cigar-
ettes. He avers he is not addicted
to cocaine or morphine. He seems
anxious to regain his liberty.
Justice Jones says he will render
his verdict as coroner today. The
proper charge to be placed against
O’Malley will also be made today
as soon as the county attorney ren-
ders his opinion. Lunacy will
very likely be the charge preferred
following such a charge that was
made on the police books by Officer
Beck.
The morning dispatches via As-
sociated Press contain the follow-
ing telegram:
New York Aug: 29.—Dr. An-
drew O’Malley who killed bis
child by shooting it while it was in
itscribathis home in San Anto-
nio Texas practiced his profession
in the eastern district of Brooklyn
four years after he graduated in
this city. He had a good practice
and was quite successful until the
habit of using morphine opium
and cocaine was contracted. Two
years ago Dr. O’Malley disappeared
with his wife’s sister leaving Mrs.
O’Malley and her two children des-
titute. Relatives and friends raised
means to send Mrs. O’Malley and
her children to Texas. Mrs. O’-
Malley said her sister had gone
with her husband to care for him
as he was ill. Eighteen months
ago reports were received that O’-
Malley had shot a man in Hous-
ton Texas accidentally during a
discussion while showing a re-
volver and afterwards it was
learned he went to Mexico with the
expectation of making a great deal
of money.
Detective Hughes also received
a telegram yesterday afternoon
from New York from the husband
of Mrs. Munier Dr. O’Malley’s
wife’s elder sister who is separated
from bis wife. He offers to take
care of and provide for his two chil-
dren a boy nearly 11 and a girl
nearly 10 years of age now in pos-
session of Mrs. Munier but says
nothing of the O’Malleys. The
parents of O’Malley in New York
have received tiie telegrams sent
them about the matter but they
have sent no word in reply which
the officers think is very strange
unless O’Malley was a domestic
Ishmael.
There is a growing belief in this
city that O’Malley probably in-
tended to kill all his family and
then himself but that he weak-
ened. Detective Hughes believes
both the ladles at his home were
very much afraid of him.
Officials in a Fight
Garbage Cart Superintendent
Mariano Garcia and his brother
Carlos Garcia city dog pound su-
perintendent were fined $5 each by
the recorder this morning for fight-
ing with Wm. Freeman at the
Bella Union Tuesday night. Free-
man was dismissed.
Mariano Garcia and Freeman in-
dulged in a quarrel about the hon-
esty of dealing monte in a gam-
bling game and as Mr. Garcia was
intoxicated his brother Carlos ob-
jected to Freeman striking his
brother and Freeman then began
throwing beer glasses at both of
them.
Threatened His Son's Life.
Deputy Sheriff Juan Cruz of
Senior Postofflce brought in Julian
Herrera last night and placed him
in the county jail on a charge of
making threats. Herrera is a far-
mer residing on the Medina and is
accused of having threatened to
kill his eighteen-year-old son
who is married. The two had
some words the other day which
resulted in the son striking his
father in the face. The father then
struck his son and it is said made
the threat as charged.
