ROFESSOR CHARLES GOFFRIE, THE GREAT VIOLINIST, IN DISTRESS. P I OncE THE FRIEND OF MENDELS- SO! He WiLL Now ENTER THE ALTENHEIM. Among the violinists whose talent made them famous in the musical world of San Francisco, none has ranked higher than Professor Charles Goffrie. By reason of his infirmity he will now enter the Alten- heim in Oakland. In order that the aged maestro may enter the home, his friends have arranged a complimentary benefit for him, to take place at Golden Gate Hall on the 20th inst. Among the patronesses of the affairare | the following: Mrs. A. N. Towne, Mrs, Louis 8loss, Mrs, L. L. Dunbar, Mrs, W. B, Harrington, Mrs. J. W. Goewey, Mrs, J. F. Professor Charles Goffrie.

Belshaw. =The history of Professor Goffrie’s long life is one of peculiar interest. “I was born at Mannheim in Germany in ,’’ said the aged maestro, at his home, Webster street, yesterday. “My father was a poor man, and of his five children I was the only one who was musically in- S Twas 10 vears ol 1 wudied music with the celebrated Lachnerat Mann- heim, and in 1831, when [ was only 11| years old, I played solos in the orchestra of the Mannheim Theater. vear that I met Paganini and I had the honor to play for him on several occasions. Then began a friendship which did not end until his death, years afterward. “In 1842 T went to London and entered actively upon my musical career. I met Miss Hinke, a celebrated pianist of that day, who had studied Mendelssohn. Our acquaintance ripened into love, and soon after we were married. We had one | | It was in that | | and that he loved his art well. first met Mendelsshon, who was then con- ducting his Scotch symphony at the Phil- barmonic, and playing the orean at St. Peter’s, Cornhill and Christ Church. I lived in the same house with him and his night I would hear Mendelssohn’s organ. | T remonstrated with him_several times for spending his nights at the organ, saying that it would surely kill him. He replied that art would prove the death of no man, He died on November 4, 1847, as I believe from grief over the Joss of his mother some time before, “I met other renowned musicians dur- ing my stay in London, and among the cherished remembrances of my life is my acquaintance with Rubinstein and Joachim. I made several toursof Eng- land, and in 1847 played first violin wit the renowned Costa at Covent Garden. In the same year I visited America on a con- | cert_tour, giving many concerts in the ;(‘hi(-fcilies of the East. Artistically the tour was a success, but financially it wasa failure. “I saved a little money in my time,” re- marked Professor Goffrie, sadly, “but | some time ago I was induced to enter into aland speculation and I lostell. Some years ago I wrote a_history of the violin, which was published in Philadelphia, without, however, yielding me substantial benefit. Iam worn out, now, and all that I see before me is the grave. Yet, I feel that my life has not been misspent.” Professor Goffrie is a widely quoted aud thority on violins. He some years ago patented a new soundboard made of har- and soft wood, which could be arranged to run at any distance, giving to the note superior sonori He possessed a fine collection of violins, including several Cremonas, Stradivarius, violas and viols d’amour, which his personal wants forced him to sell frem time to time at a sacrifice. At his forthcoming benelit he will, if able, play one of Beethoven’s sonatas, in the rendition of which in former years he had no rival.

The cases of personsarrested under Grand Jury presentments were called again in Judge Low’s court yesterday afternoon, the time fixed for trial. Attorney Ruef, who represents the four women arrested for giving an indecent ex- hibition and most of the property-owners charged with renting houses for purposes of ill fame, asked for a further continnance. He said he would surrender A. Grosbois, one of his clients, and would apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus in order to get the questions involved bm\nght up and settled as speedily as pos- sible. The Judge agreed to the sugeestion and released Grosbois on bonds. Attorney Ruef immediately applied for the writ, which was made returnable on April 2. Judge Low then continued the cases till April 8. The writ recites the reasons why neither the Superior Court nor Police Court has jurisdiction to try the cases, which were outlined in theargument before Judge Low last week. ————— He Was Murdered. “The deceased’s death was caused by a blow on the head, struck by unknown parties,” was the verdict of a Coroner’s jury in the case of J. B. Forman yesterday. A week ago Forman was knocked down and robbed in Cum Cook alley. A Chinese woman testified that she saw two men following the deceased. One of them struck him, and when he fell the other rifled his pockets. Two men were arrested on suspi- cion of having committed the crime, but as there was no evidence against them they were discharged. ———————— Detective Pinkerton. Robert A. Pinkerton of the detective ageney that bears his name arrived in this city yester- terday from New York. His visit here isone of recreation and, he says,in no way connected with his business. 4 * estimable wife for some time, and often at | A SELLING-RAGE WAR IN PROSPECT. OAKLAND AND TIGRESS WERE BID UP AND THE END IS NoT YET. ALL BUT ONE FAVORITE WON. BARNEY ScCHREIBER Cur A VERY PROMISING FILLY LOOSE IN URSULA. It looks very much as though another selling-race war was to be inaugurated at the Bay District, to the undoubted joy of the Jockey Club,which organization profits to a considerable extent thereby. The fun began after the finish of the fourth race, won by Oakland, who went to the post 18 to 5. Doggie Smith’s horse never showed a fondness for weight and one day last week was in a handicap at top weight, 115 pounds, running unplaced. It happened that Riley Grannan played him that day, but yesterday let him severely alone, put- ting his checks down on Ingomar, the Ken- tucky stable’s horse. It happened this way: Garcia, a long shot in the race, went out and made the running to the stretch, where he died away, and Ingomar, who was running second, took his place and appeared to be winning, apparently holding Hy Dy safe. Chorn came along the last hundred yards with Oakland, and beat the southern horse out. This was too much for Riley | and, according to all accepted theories as | well as fictions, the hot Southern blood | that courses through his veins boiled with- | in him, and he bid the winner up $600 over | his entered selling price of $400. This may | be a very good way to get backatan owner | when you have lost on his horse, but do | these plungers when they win thousands on a race ever think of the poor owner through whose efforts the horse was pre- | pared for the race? I thinknot. Itisgen- erally the jockey that gets all of the praise, | and the tip on the side. horse, was entered for $200 in this same | = The second run up occurred in the last | race, won by Tigress, the 7 to 5 favorite | entered to be soid for $200. The mare | led nearly the entire distance, and won handily from Florence Dickey, the *‘good | thing’” backed down to 12 from 25to 1, Hiram Argo finishing third. When put | up to be sold, By Ho.ly ran the little mare by two or three hundred, when J. Talbot Clifton entered into the spirit of the thing, | and just for a deuced joke, in cracks of $50 | at a bid, kept it up, until with the remark | “let him have her,” he quit at $1420, Trainer | Hunn_bidding the additional $5 retaining her. The run up in this instance did not fall so heavily, as the mare is owned by voung Hobart, the millionaire. It was nevertheless unpleasant and Trainer Hunn threatens to retaliate. Outside of these two incidents it was an uneventful day, the favorites with one ex- ception winning every race. For such a very good card the attendance was light, With 4 to 5 against_her, the favorite Ser- aphin had a gallop in the first race, win- ning easily from Raphael. The Drummer, & 100 to 1 chance, finished third. Barney Schreiber won the two-year-old filly race with Ursula, who went to the post a hot favorite. She is a daughter of Brummel, after running over a quarter in a breakaw The Lizzie Hampton colt, favorite for the third race, won without difficulty from Little Bob. Better ridden Chiquito, who finished tkird, should have got the place. The fifth race, a five and a half furlong affair, was a romp for the even money fa- vorite Ferrier, backed from 7 to 5,and 1 am not the only one that thinks he will turn the tables on Rey Alfonso when they again meet. Fannie Louise, formerly the Nellie Peyton filly, ran a very creditable race, after her long rest. tion of the track, which was slow, Ferrier’s time, 1:08%, was a fine run. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY.

DISCUSSED THE CHARTER. LABOR UNIONS AND REFORM BODIES SIT IN JUDGMENT UPoN IT. ‘WHILE IMPERFECT THEY THINK IT Is A MovE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Representatives of local trades unions and reform bodies met in convention last night at 1153 Mission street to discuss the new charter. The different organizations represcuted by delegates were the Cigar- makers’ Union, Brewery Workmen, San Francisco Labor Council, Typographical Union No. 21, Union for Practical Prog- | ress, Socialist Labor Party, American Rail- | road Union, Sailors’, Bakers’, Carpenters’, Bookbinders’, Tailors’, Ironmolders’ and | Furniture-workers’ unions; the People’s Party, German Socialists, Stage Employes and the Scandinavian Socialist Labor. F. N. Lynch of the League for Practical Progress spoke in favor of the charter be- cause it le:sened the number of people to be voted for, and centralized the power and responsibility ; also because it declared for civil service. R. T. McIvor of the Socialist Labor party talked against the new charter. “Itis got up in an e e way,” said he, “and is too long to be of use. Itcan be misconstrued and is opposed to all citizenship and the workingman, and_should be opposed by every labor union in San Francisco.” A. D. Miesegaes of the Union for Practi- cal Progress said he believed the charter (guve a]t«;gclher too- much power to the | Mayor. He asked whether it was possible that fathers or mothers would allow any one man to say what should be taught in the public schools, and that is what the charter would give in empowering the Mn¥or to appoint_the Board of Education. “I could not discover in the committee | of freeholders a single man who earned his | living as a workingman,” said E. I. Kings- ley of the Socialist Labor party, “and that was enough for me. There were no crumbs of comfort in the charter for me when I knew that it was framed by men represent- ing the property interests.”” C. C. Terrell of the Union for Practical Pmfiress and president of the Builders’ Exchange, said he agreed with some speakers that the charter gave the Mayor too much power. “I admit it is a one-man | power,” he continued. “But are we not suffering from a one-man power to-day?” While admitting the charter had defects, still he believed if it was adopted it conld be amended and improved in two or three years. He belieyed it is right regardin the Board of Public Works and declare himself in favor of the proposition to change street department methods. He regarded favorably the appointment of the Park Commission, the eternal Free Library trustees, the Police Commission and Election Commission, but the County Clerk, Auditor, Board of Education, ete., cannot be appointed by the Mayor until the State constitution is changed. A. Cridge, from the single-tax society, protested against the charter, because it did not provide for proportional repre- ‘sientalion, the initiative and the referen- um. J. K. Phillips of Typographical Union No. 21 thought it a pity that there were not more progressive men on the Free- holders’ committee. Indeed, he said, there was altogether too much of the silurian element about that committee. And the same fault is seen in its work—the pro- posed charter. The convention adjourned to meet next Thursday night in the same hall. ‘WaAT imparts that peculiar delicacy to the food? Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powaer. ———————— SMITH AGAIN SENTENOED. He Is Given Twenty Years More in the Penitentiary. A larger crowd than is usually to be seen in Judge Wallace's courtroom gathered yesterday to gaze upon John Smith and see how he would take his second sentence for robbery. He had furnished amuse- ment for the morbid sightseers on one oc- casion and each spectator was hoping he would repeat the scene for his edification yesterday morning. He took his sentence quietly, "however, and said not a word, while the court added twenty years to his previous sentence of twenty years. 2 It was generally expected that Smith would receive the full limit, for J’udEe Wallaces’s sentences are always such in cases of robbery, unless the circumstances demand a lighter sentence. So far as Smith was concerned, however, no one be- lieved he deserved any clemency and he himself evidently did not expect any. His attorney moved for a new trial on all the statutory grounds; the motion was denied, sentence was passed and Smith was im- mediately taken from the courtroom to the County Jail. SUPERVISORS GIVE HORE LATITUDE, APPROPRIATIONS CONTAINED THE GENERAL FUND CAN BE OVERDRAWN. IN SPECIFICATIONS FOR PAVING. BrrumiNous Rock Must BE oF THE BEST QuaLiTY OB- TAINABLE. The Board of Supérvisors rescinded a sec- tion of an ordinance at its meeting yester- day, which at the time of its passage was generally conceded to be a splendid safe- guard against the waste of the appropria- tions grouped under the name of the gen- eral fund. . Section 4 of order No. 2780 inhibits the Au- ditor from signing and the Treasurer from paying any and all demands on thetreas- ury in excess of the yearly appropriations. This was abrogated. The matter first came up in the report of the Committee on Finance and Auditing, which stated that the appropriation for the burial of the in- digent dead, amounting to $2500, was ex- hausted, and that the Pacific Undertakers, the contractors for burying the indigents, had refused, under their contract, to make further interments until provision is made for the payment of their claims. The committee advocated the abrogating of the ordinance inhibiting the Auditor from signing and the Treasurer from pay- ing any demands in excess of appropria- tions provided for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, in so far as it applies to the appropriations in the general fund. The report concludes with the following words: In that way the bills can be audited and paid and all demands chargeable thereto and_al- lowed out of any appropriation therein will be required to be audited and paid until general fund is exhausted. This is the only course to be pursued to meet these and other obiigations. Later the matter came up in the shape of a resolution, signed by Supervisor Taylor, rescinding the order and directing the Auditor to pay demands on appropri- ations coming out of the general fund even should such demand be in_excess of the appropriation for the particular ser- vice rendered. The question of the quality of the bit- umen to he used in paving the city's streets was settled by the adoption of an ordinance stating the necessary specifica- tions. The ordinance states that the bitumen shall be of the best quality obtainable, and shall contain from 10 to 15 per cent of bitumen. The bitumen contained in the material shall be such as shall not vaporize below 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and be of such a nature as to make a good cement. The material must also be clean and free from all stone, pebbles, mica, earthy, gravelly or vegetable matter. The ordinance also provides that in reducing the rock preparatory to laying, it must not be done in open kettles or by any other process liable to burn or destroy the bitu- men in the rock. The rock must be brought from the mines to this city in bulk, in its natural state as taken from the mines and without having been previously disintegrated. Violation of the order is made a misde- meanor and punishable by a fine of not more than $200 nor less than $100. C. Carpy was granted permission to lay and maintain pipes for the conveyance of wine from the winery on the southwest corner of Second and Folsom streets, through Second aud Brannan streets to the winery on Brannan street, near Fourth, the work to be done nnder the supervision and to the satisfaction of the Superintend- ent of Streets. Supervisor Taylor presented a resolution requesting the Governor of the State not to approye Assembly bill 575 repealing the act relative to the assessment and collec- tion of personal property taxes in the city and county, as such action will result in the city and county being unable to collect any revenue for July until the fourth Mon- day of November in each year, practically half of the fiscal year for which the collec- tions are to be made, thus preventing the city from paying its obligations as they ac- crue. The resolution also states that the bill, if approved, will result in an increase of cost to the city of necessary merchandise and general supplies. The resolution was adopted. Supervisor Hirsch presented a resolution requesting the San Francisco Gaslight Company to paint the lamp posts nearest to each of the fire-alarm boxes throughout the city a bright vermilion and substitute red glass for each of the four upper panes of the lamp. The Edisoa Light and l;)ower Company was requested to paint the posts of their lights near alarm boxes, and also to color red the upper portion of the elec- tric light elobes. The measure was adopted. The City and County Attorney was in- structed to compromise the suit of J. H. Sullivan against the city for $250, the plain- tiff having offered to dismiss his action for that sum. Sullivan sued the city for $2000 for dam- age to his property on Army street by reason of a defective sewer. The City and County Attorney had advised that it would be cheaper to compromise the matter at the rate mentioned than to fight the case. The resolution passed at a former meet- ing accepting Guerrero street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, was repealed. communication from the City Engi neer recommending the denial of the peti- tion of the Sutro Railroad Company that the grade at the crossing of Clement and Seventeenth streets be raised was referred to the Street Committee. The same course was pursued with a communication from Healy, Tibbetts & Co., stating that Thomas McDermott, en- gineer of the Fourth-street bridge, is in- competent, and asking his removal on the E;o\md that his retention in the place will dangerous to the lives of those using the structure.

The Pacific Mail steamer Colima sailed at noon yesterday for Panama and way ports, with 30 passengers in the cabin and about 120 in the steerage. The vessel was also crowded with freight of all descrip- tions. The Panama Steamship Company's steamer Saturn arrived from Panama direct on Saturday night, and she, too, carried a big cargo of general merchandise. No change has yet been announced in either one in consequence of the recent decision by the Supreme Court and nobody here uite understands the decision. The Colima left without her third mate, Ole Hansen. The latter stole away from the ship on Sunday night to visit his home. When he arrived at his residence he found his place as head of the household usurped ;.Ia former employesof the Mail Company. e upbraided his conjugal partner for her infidelity, then had a physical understand- ing with his successor in heraffections.
