Supervisors Express Their Views Re- garding Certain Bills. The membersof the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors waited upon Governer Budd at the California Hotel yes- terday and expressed themselves concern- ing certain bills which are in the hands of the chief executive, awaiting his approval or dissent. Those which the committee favored are Assembly bills 508, 600, 799, 114 and 798. They expressed themselves as against Sen- ate bills 229 and 281 and Assembly bill 575. There were some bills which they frankly stated they could not agree on. These were Assembly bill 391, in regard to pen- sioning exempt firemen; 736, as to pen- sioning teachers; 739, as to the increase of the police force, and 699, regarding exist- m&" judgments against the city. The Governor listened to what the com- mittee had to say and in response said that he would consider their remarks. e To SAVE YOUR DOLLARS, if you need an eflicient Cough Remedy, buy Dr. D.

WITH HIS PISTOL T0 HER TEMPLE. A YOUNG WIFE HELD UP BY A DESPERADO IN THE EARLY MORNING. HE TOOK EVEN HER RINGS. THE PoLICE THINK THAT THE MAN ‘Was ONE OF THE STAGG MURDERERS. “Give me the money that vou just received from your husband! Don’t say a word or make the least noise, else youare a dead woman!”’ This startling command was heard by Mrs. James W. Clift at half-past 6 yester- day morning in her quiet home at 1412 Baker street. [t was uttered by a robber, and probably a murderer. Mrs. Clift’s husband is a gripman on the Sutter-street line, and reports for duty Mrs. James W. Clift. (From a photograph.] every morning at 6:15 o’clock. At break- fast he gave her $10 85 with which to run the house for the ensning week. Mrs. Clift, who is only 19 years of age, is | in the habit of accompanying her husband to the gate and getting the morning paper, which is left in a mail-box. She did that yesterday morning, but just as she entered the hall leading to the stairs she was vio- lently seized by the wrist, whirled around | and confronted by a strange man who held | to her temple a revolver. Mrs. Clift had the $10 85 given her by her husband in her possession, of which$5 85 | was in her hand and afive dollar gold piece | in her mouth. The ruffian secured the | money she had in her hand and then | choked her into insensibility with the ob- ject of getting the gold piece, which he ev dently knew she had in her mouth. this he was unsuccessful, but noticing | three rings on her fingers he demanded them. He tore them from her hands and put them into his pockets, and then left | the house. Mrs. Clift describes the robber as a v tall man, with small brown eyes that were | close together. He had a la nose, clear complexion_and_a light mustache. He | wore a soft hat, light trousers and along | light brown coat. Fred Kiel, who keeps a grocery and s loon at Post and Baker streets, said that | he opened his place at 5:30 o’clock Mon- | day morning, and that a tall man wearing a light coat came into his place at the | had taken the rivilege of issning in the name of the lrechnmcs’ Institute on the strength of his contract. The circular in question is signed “The Mechanics’ Insti- tute,” and from beginning to end reads as if coming direct from the Board of Trustees as the publishers and responsible parties. The circulars . have been ex- tensively distributed. This action on the part of Mr. Smith was, by a motion, re- pudiated by the Board of Trustees, and the asked-for letter to the Manufacturers’ Convention was refused. THE MINERS PROTEST. They Object to the Railroads Patenting Mineral Lands. Protests affecting land in Marysville, Los Angeles and Shasta districts to the amount of 390, 31,231 and 274,815 acres re- spectively, demanding that patents be de- nied the Central and Southern Pacific rail- roads, have been sent to the District Land Office by Attorney A. H. Ricketts and E. H. Benjamin, representing the State Min- ers” Association. The Marysville petition states that the land applied for by the Central Pacific is north of Nevada City, on the southern side of the Yuba River, and F“fly on the Yuba, about three miles roxax Susanville, and is known mineral land. One of the Los Angeles protests against the claims of the Southern Pacific says that all of the tracts are located in the mining belt, near the towns or camps of Perris, Menifee, Holcomb Valley, Peru, Alamo and Castle Creeks, Bear Valley, the vicinity of the Temescal tin mine and at La Laguna rancho. A special protest is filed in_the same office against the }mteming of land to the Southern Pacific or the reason that they are petroleum lands just south of Buena Vista Lake. In the Redding district three protests are filed against the Central Pacific. In the first of these the sections sought to be pat- ented are in such well-known mineral re- gions as Bully Chap Mountain, Redding Creek and Cow Creek to Delta on the rail- road and Harney and Pitt River on the south, and from Trinity River on the west to Buzzard’s Roost, Hendricks and Harney on the east. The second protest coversthe lands applied for by the railroad between Susanville and Callahan’s, and from Mug- insville north to near the Oregon boun- ary line. The third and last affects lands near Highland Mist and French Gulch, in Shasta County. Other Frotest,s are to be made, amount- ing in all to about 500,000 acres. A GIRL'S MAD INFATUATION. IT LEADS LIZZIE BEHAN TO ELOPE WitH NoOTORIOUS ROY RAYMOND. THE PoLICE SAY SHE Was Kip- NAPED, AS THE GIRL Is A MINOR. Man’s duplicity and a young girl's thoughtlessness are responsible for the elopement of pretty Lizzie Behan and Roy Raymond to Los Angeles on Sunday. Miss Behan is the pretty 16-year-old daughter of M. Behan, who has for five years past been | a doorkeeper at the Occidental Hotel, and Raymond is a notorious politician, gambler and opium fiend. Miss Behan has for several years served as waitress in Market-street resturants and until she met Raymond several months ago lived a model life. Her mother died | when the girl was only 7 years of age, and Mr. Behan then placed her in a convent in Oakland,where she remained for five years, afterward earning her own living. Miss Behan met Raymond first at a ball given in a Mission-street hall. Despite the fact that Raymond had absolutely no qual- ities to recommend him, the girl fell violently in loye with him, the result being her downfall in a short time. Heartless and cruel, like most of his kind, Raymond | treated the girl with unexampled cruelty, often beating and kicking her almost into insensibility. Yet, despite her treatment, the girl clung to him. Mr. Behan was unaware of his daugh- MISS LIZZIE BEHAN. [From ph ROY RAYMOND. otographs.] time he opened and asked for a drink. The man paid for the drink, but while doing so he made a sudden movement as though about to pull a gun. At this Mr. Kiel took his revolver from his pocket and laid it on the counter. The man then went out and proceeded down Baker street, where he was joined by another man much smaller than himself. Mr. Kiel is of the opinion that they were the men who held up Mrs. Clift. At 7 0 clock the same morning two mne, answering the same description, called at the grocery of H. Witt, corner of Geary and Webster streets, and hurriedly got a drink, The police are of the opinion that they are the men who murdered Cornelius Stagg Saturday night. OVERSTEPPED HIS AUTHORITY. Trustees of the Mechanics’ Rebuke ¥. Duke Smi Institute he The newly elected trustees of the Me- | chanics’ Institute held their first meeting in the office of the secretary last night, and President Hallidie announced the | standing committees as follows: Finance, Ayers, Denicke and Root; library- rooms and library, Root, Bush and Formhals; books and donations, Leggett, Holmes and Denicke; lectures and classes, Bush, Manson and Fisher; printing and advertising, Form- hals, Doolan and Kendricks; pavilion, Holmes, Cumming and Kendrieks; machinery, Cum- min%, Root and Holmes; art, Manson, Ayers and Mooser; exhibits, Fisher, Bush and Doo- lan; tickets and admission, Doolan, Leggett and Fisher; music and decoration, Denicke, Kendricks and Formhals; management, Ken- dricks, Ayers and Leggett. The matter of the Mechanics’ Institute Tllustrated Magazine came up and created considerable discussion. On the 16th of last October F. H. Duke Smith entered into a contract with the trustees of the Insti- tute to compile and publish at least one thousand copies of a book or magazine of one issue, to contain a complete history of the origin, growth and progress of the Me- chanics’ Institute and of mechanical and scientific progress on the Pacific Coast. The trustees agreed to give the publication the moral sulpport and indorsementof the institute. n order to defray expenses and pay himself for his labor the puglisber should have the privilege of inserting all such advertisements as would not be ob- jectionable to the trustees. Last night Mr. Smith sent in a request that the trustees send a communication to the Manufacturers’ Convention, now in session, calling attention to the forthcom- ing publication. Accompanying the com- munication was the printéd copy of a circular letter which g{r. Smith said he ter's disgrace until Friday last, when he received an anonymous note informing him that she and Raymond were living to- gether at the Standard House on Market | street. Horrified at the disclosure he ap- pealed to Secretary McComb of the Hu- mane Society for assistance;but when Of- ficer Holbrook visited the house men- tioned the couple were no longer there. Inquiry developed the fact that they had left the city for Los Angeles on Sunday evening. The officers are convinced that Raymond has enticed the girl from the city in order to é)lflfle her in some questionable resort and thereby secure a living at her expense. Under the law this is kidnaping_punish- able by imprisonment in the penitentiary. Pictures of the couple have been sent to | the police of the southern city together with |the notification to arrest Raymond when | found. Raymond has long been under | police surveillance here, and if captured | strong efforts will be made to send him | across the bay. DEFENDS ZOCCHL G. Bacigalupi Explains the Introduction of a Bill and Champions the Assemblyman. The denunciation of Assemblyman Zocchi of the North,Beach district of this city by Herman A, Pollak, for having, as Pollak declares, caused the defeat of cer- tain bills in the Legislature, has attracted the attention of G. Bacigalupi of 627 Broadway, who defends the Assemblyman against the charges of crooked work, or acting for a pecuniary consideration. “When M. Palmieri, proprietor of L'Ttalia, started for 1taly a week ago,” said Mr. Bacigalupi yesterday, “he asked me to take this substitute bill for printing done by the Franco-Californien, Voce de Popolo, the German Demokrat and his own paper to Sacramento. X “Idid so and asked Mr. Zocchi to intro- duceit. He had just got2 telegflm that his wife was ill, so i mgtbe bill to Assem- blyman Devitt, who introduced it. I had Senator Voorheis introduce it in the Senate. ‘‘There was no mention of money or any consideration in any way by Mr. Zocchi or an{ one else in the matter. That man Pollak is crazy to talk that way about Zocchi. 1f Palmieri were here he would have him arrested. It is an outrage to charge Mr. Zocchi with dishonest work. He is an honest man.”” et — Paris has an official rat-catcher. SIR KNIGHTS IN VEARLY SESSION., THEY MEET AND DISCUSS AFFAIRS OF THEIR BENEVOLENT ORDER. GOOD SHOWING IN FINANCES. THE SIXTEENTH YEARLY CONVEN- TION OF THE BROTHERHOOD. COMMITTEES APPOINTED. The sixteenth annual session of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Honor of Cali- fornia was opened yesterday morning in Alcazar building. Grand Dictator A. H. Voigt called the lodge to order, whereupon the committee on credentials reported that thirty mem- bers were waiting to receive the degree of “old age.” Fifty lodges in various parts of the State were represented. Committees as follows were appointed by the grand dictator: —W. A.T. Stratton, J. H. Gar- neth, C. D. Folsom. State of the Order—H. C. Austin, J. C. Carroll, W. E. Lankester. Neurology—James Kennedy, Branch, James Du T son. ry A. Chase, Duncan McPherson. ribution—T. Learned, W. J. Thomson, C. A. Garthorne. Laws—T. H. Macdonald, G.J.Vincent, W. W. Stockwell. In his report the grand dictator sketched the history of the order and suggested that competition from other fraternal organiza- tions be met by its members. He favored the appointment of an organizer, whose duty it should be to visit inactive lodges and establish new ones in desirable loca- tions. C. H. M. Curry, grand_ reporter, stated that the order in California has 3618 mem- bers and 55 lodges. George W. During the year thirty-two assessments | have been called into the treasury of the Supreme Lodge, showing the number of deaths assessed for throughout the order to have been 2017, of which number 140 were half rate, 8 were quarter rate and 1869 were full rate members, thus entitling the bene- ficiaries of deceased members to a sum total of $3,880,000. Subordinate lodges in the local jurisdic- tion made the following disposition of widows’ and orphans’ funds during the year: Balance on hand December 31, 1893, $4517 55; amount received, $125,441 35; total, $120,958 90. "Amount paid to supreme treasurer, $125,845 66: balance in treasury, *‘The record of our order is unsurpassed in the line of work for which it is organ- ized,” added the grand reporter. “Our death losses are paid as promptly or more so than are those ®f any similar organization. With our magnificent rec- ord we should consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to invite all good and true men to unite with usin our grand work for the protection of the widow and the fatherless.” The proposed new constitution of the Grand fodge was presented and made a special order of business for this morning’s session. The committee on state of the order pre- sented a refort recommending that Dennis Murphy of Keystone Lodge and W. J.

BUILDING, THE BARBERS' ASSOCIATION, |- BY-LAWS FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE ADOPTED. - GETTING READY FOR THE BALL ON APRIL 18—A Goop WORD FOK THE “ CALL.” There was a large attendance at the meeting of the Barbers’ Association last night in Foresters’ Hall. The committee on by-laws presented its report, and with the exception of one clause, it was adopted for the government of the organization. The committee recommended that all members should pay dues on the first of each month, and that unless dues were so paid the defaulting member should be con- sidered motin good standing and be de- prived of the benefits the association offers, one of which 1s that those in good stand- ing can secure situations though the em- ployment secretary. 5 : This led toa spirited debate, in which many took part, the majority holding that members should be allowed two months’ time before being declared not in good standing. A substitute embodying this idea was presented by Vice-President Hammon and adopted by an almost unanimous vote. Mr. Aubertine drew attention to the fact that the time for the ball to be given for the benefit of the union was drawing near, and that every member ought to do his ut- most to dispose of tickets, for the money to be obtained fram that source would go far toward placing the association on a substantial basis. 5 1 3 The ball will be given in B.JB. Hall on the night of the 18th of April, and every member was urged to use his power of speech to induce customers who visit the sgops to purchase at least onme ticket. From the reports of the committee of ar- rangements, up to date, it appears that the affair will be very enjoyable. The employment secretary reported the number o{ positions he had obtained for members during the week and announced that twelve candidates for membership had been elected. Fred J. Breitevisch, the treasurer, stated that he wished to call the attention of the association4o one matter. ‘“You have no doubt all noticed,” said he, “‘that the San Francisco CALL, the coming paper of this city and State, has been very kind to our association. It has devoted a great deal of space to our meetings to help us along, and it is only right that we should recog- nize its good work by becoming patrons of k.2 His remaks were received with much applause. e HOTEL ARRIVALS, { RUSS HOUSE.

In announcing a rate of $25 for a radical cure of Rupture, Dr. C. Z. Ellis intended that it should be for a limited time only, and pro- posed withdrawing the rate on March 1. Since that date Dr. Ellis has had many inquiries from persons suffering from Rupture, who state that it was not possible for them to take edvantage of the low rate before its with- drawal and requestink an extension of the time. Dr. Ellis does not want to show any fayoritism in extending the time, but to allow all an equal opportanity will continue the $25 rate until April 1. It must be distinetly under. stBod, however, that it will positively be dige continued on and after that date. $25 FOR A CURE. Names of patients cured will be fur. nished on application. C. Z. ELLIS.
