Reéferring to the seawall “‘which has been advocated. he said ‘that such a strueture was'of the-utmost -importance-to the- city and that immediage steps should be taken to build it..

But somelhing does not come from nothing. 1f we woul have & competing road.we must work. Our local committee is doing well, but we must do Il better. We ought to have a subscription of at least half a million dollars. Our location is in our favor, but we must not rely oo much on ‘that.

The -old Industrial Army barracks — Franklin Hall—was nearly destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The fire started in the Boston Dye Works, owned by Isadore Lewin, and was | making rapid progress when the depart*| | ment put in an appearance and checked it.

Quifollowed the custom of his race and smeared blood all over his face until he looked as if he had been ‘“‘monkeying with a buzzsaw,” and then proceeded to Park street. Dr. McLeon dressed the trivial wound. Qui's assailant could not be found. A Constable Injured. Constable von Kapff had a narrow escape on Sunday at Laundry Farm. got ont of his buggy to tie his horse when the animal became frightened at the report of a gun and broke away. One of the wheels caught the Constable and threw him over a fence, severely bruising his left limb. The animal collided with two other buggies before caught. Islanders Happy. Residents of Bay Farm Island were in a happy mood yesterday. The finishing touches to the electric"lights were made and the island illuminated for the first time by electricity. The isianders have waited many months for these lights. Young Hunters, Frank Schuler, Charles Cala and Frank Thompson were arrested by a constable near Melrose for trespassing on private gfli)lpen 7. They were taken to the County ail and bailed out by their parents. No Prosecution. The case against Conductor C. H.

WILL MAYOR SUTRO SIGN IT? See \ The Board Has Ordered an Inquiry Into the Affairs of the | Sutro Road. i | The bituminous rock order of the Super- | visors was settled at the meeting of the | board yesterday afternaon, as it was hoped it would be, but it was not settled right. | Therefore, according to the spirit of the | time, it was not settled. Eight members of the board voted for the order: Joseph King, Peter A. Scully, C. E. Benjamin, Alphonse Hirsch, E. C. Hughes, Chris Dunker, A. W. Morganstern, Edward | L. Wagner. Four members voted against tying the city up to a Southern Pacific monopoly in the matter of securing the bituminous rock for its city streets: Joseph I Dimond, C. L. Taylor, A. B. Spreckels, J. K. C. Hobbs. And now it remains to be seen what the Mayor will do in the matter. Should he veto it the four who voted against the order would certainly sustain = him, and this | would be sufficient to overthrow it as nine | votes are necessary to pass an ordinance over a veto. In the re port of the Btreet Committee a long argument was incorporated on bebalf of the order and @ resolution indorsing | was added. At the conclusion of its read- ing Supervisor Hughes, not waiting for the | chairman of the committee, as is usual in such cases, quickly moved its adoption. Chairman Spreckels as.quickly offered an amendment excepting the resolution. Mayor Sutro, under a misapprehension, | put the question on the adoption of the re- port, and Mr. Spreckels asked -for a roll- call, and the vote on this was the same as above. 'No exception was taken to the fact that the question -was mnot put on the amendment, as it was apparent that the sult would have been the same;and, be- sides, the main question was to come up. later on the order itself, as it -did; with the result stated. Mayor Sutro submitted the following the theft of -a block on O'Farrell street by | the Market-street Railway Company - on Saturday: To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco—GENTLEMEN: On Saturday, March 30, information reached me that the Market-street Railway Company had seized & block on O'Farrell street, between Scott and Devisadero, and had proceeded to tear up the street and lay rails thereon, with- ontauthority of law. as it_has a franchise for only & portion of said block. As Mayor of the city ] requested the Superinten- 16 work. He dispatched & deputy to the place and gave due notice to the men to quit. They did leave the work, but no sooner had the deputy turned his back than the men resumed, of which I was promptly in- formed by telephone. I then proceeded to the spot mysélf and requested the Chief of Police t0 send a squad of his men, which he promptly did. Before the arrival of the police I gave notice to the foreman of the gang that they were un- lawfully engaged and that they must gquit, to which they paid no attention. After the police arrived I aeain gave notice that they must quit, if not they would be arrested; thereupon they took up their tools and left. The police have been in cherge ever since, and no further work has been done. I call the attention of your Honorable Board the Superintendent of Streets to proceed im- miediately to the spot, tear up the rails and ties and restore the street to its original state at the expense of the Market-street Railroad Com- pany. 1f & small criminal commits an unlawful act he is arrested and promptly punished. I can- not see why a powerful corporation which com- mits grand larceny should not be equally dealt with. If you permit it to stesl a street and aiter it has been stolen give it & right to retain the stolen property you break down all prin- (‘i?lcs of law, honesty and propriety. Respects fully submitted, ADOLPH SUTRO, Mayor. Dated April 1, 1895, The communication was reterred to the Street Committee. Subsequently after Mayor Sutro had left the chair and Super- visor Taylor had been called to it, Buper- visor Dimond offered the following resolu- tion, which was adopted : Resolved, That the attention of his Honor the Mavor is hereby called to the provision of order No. 2844 prohibiting all persons, com- panies or corporations from commencing work on the public streets under any franchise or privilege until notice is ‘served of their inten- tion so to do at least forty-eight hours before the public streets are torn up or disturbed, and he is hereby requirgd as the chief executive of this municipality to perform the duty expected and required by causing a strict compliance with the provisions of said order on the part of all persons, compgnies and corporations hav- inggrnnchues, and to this end, {n case of a vio- lation, to swear out warrants and cause the arrest and punishment of all parties failing to obserye the conditions expressed by said order. Mr. Dimond, in presenting thé order, made a little speech, saying it was time to put a stop to the theft of our streets; that this order had been made only a week ago, but already it had been violated; if the order was not strong enough to meet the purpose then it was time to find that out also, for some measure must be taken to meet the evil. The speech provoked some onlnuse from the lobby. The report of the Street Committee in the matter of the petition of the People’s Railroad, known as the Sutro road, and of which Mayor Sutro is president, for an ex- tension of time in which to complete its undertaking ard upon the protests filed aguinst it, contained the following: Whatever be the merlts of these complaints, in justice to his Honor, the Mayor, who is president of the road immediately con- cerned, your committee are of the opinion that an opportunity should be given the said com- y to meet these accusations and set the matters complained of at rest. While your committee see no reason at pres- ent for refusing a reasonable extension of time, although smch action has never been taken in the case of any railroad heretofore, yet, as only a year's time was asked for, and granted, there can_be no objection to further extend the time, if the conditions imposed have heen carried out. The only purpose in granting privileges for & consideration the valuable y and for the public is to have material used in the construe- manufacturers and give employment to our artisans, and this is the most important fea- ture, as our people have at last arrived at the conclusion that good faith must be observed to build up our industries and patronage of the manufacturers, and as every one is aware the solicitation of estimates from manufacturers in the East for any material that can be manu- factured here is not an evidence of good faith, nor {sit an intention to carry out what is de- sired or required. As stated, this inquiry to be made is to afford his Honor, Mayor Sutro, the grantee of this franchise, an opportunity which, there can be no doubt, he desires, and to make a statement which, it {8 hoped, will set these complaints at rest, and to enable this to be done your com- mitfee will introduce resolutions oh this sub- ject for your consideration and action. The resolutions, which came along in their proper order of bnflinea;,wero adopted withont discussion. They read as follows: WHEREAS, A petition of William MeDermott was filed in the office of the Clerk on March 25, 1893, requesti the board, before takin action on the petition of the Sutro Rails Company for an extension of time, to take testi- mony regarding the statements made by said company &s to whether or not the terial in the construction of said road were manufactured in Californin, snd that an ex- tension of not more than three months be granted at any one time, therefore, Resolved, at_the Surro Railroad Com- pany be and is hereby requested this board with a statement, verified by its rmldent and secretary, '!mwin{ the material urnished in the construction of its road; also the material and machinery required s_mi not yet purchased. of said statement, the And, upon the filin Committee on Streets, rves, etc., are hereby to meke such inquiries and examina- s &s may be m-noa 1o ascertain whether not ths’uifl railre company has com- plied with the conditions of its franchise; also to inquire and report to this board under what lnthofltame said company used the T-rail in the construction of its 3 N The proceedings of yesterday Te opened by Supervisor Taylor reviving a custom which was in vogue some fifteen years ago, he says, but whgh is a duty re- qiuired -of the Supervisors by the wnwfidfi- tion act to be performed quarterly. He made a verbal report upon the condition of the schools, streets, population, health and industries of his ward, the elghth, report- ing them all in good condition, the in- dustries being qualified by the hard times. A resolution from the Judiciary Com- mittee dismissing the suit against Ghirar- delli and Irvine as bondsmen for Robert Rutledge if they shall pay the $300 attor- ney’s fees contracted by the city was passed. Upon the clerk reading the order pre- sented by Agent Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Vice, designed to banish all slctuns or figures of the nude or semi-nude human_form, as well as such publications as the Police Gazette, Super- visor Dimond moved that it be referred back to the Health and Police Committee, which was done. He said that numbers of persons, chiefly artists, had been to him, requesting that it be remodeled, as the order as it stands would interfere with the work of artists and the art school. i The board will meet again on Wednes- ay. HAS AWAKENED INTEREST. Eastern Capitalists Watching the San Joaquin Val- ley Road. Jullus W. Raphael Says It Will Be the - Salvation of California. Julins W. Raphael of -the well-known firm of Raphael Bros. réturned froma tour of the South and.East yesterday. He was constantly on the move for six weeks and was - conséquently -tired . out when he reached home. “According to him business is fairly brisk in Cincinnati, quiet: in- Chi- cago, dullin New York and stagnant in New Orleans.: In the manufacturing cen- ters he arranged for the spring and early fall goods required by the ' firm. The Raphaels manufacture everything they sell in their Kearny-street stores. Mr. Raphael said last night:" The San Francisco: and San Joaquin Valley Railroad has awakened considerable interest in the East. Old Calflar‘)llm and capitalists are now turning their_eves in our direction, and if California keeps on moving notw that it has the ‘ball at its feet” success is assured. The outlook is certainly brighter now than it has been for years. We must keep pegging away, howeéver, and when we have gained one point let usat once lay new plans to secure another. There is one thing above: all others that we must secure, and thatis the confidence of the Eastern capitalist. ‘We want to cultivate busi- ness tact and diplomacy, o0 as not to antagon- ize the people with: whom we desire business relations. Some of our commercial 1aws are f Julius W. Raphael. (From a photograph.] obnoxious, and they will have to be repealed before we really establish thorough confi- dence between the far East and the West. These laws are greatly to the detriment ot California and should be repealed at once. We cannot get ‘ahead too fast with the valley road. Some little doubtas to whether it will be built still exists in the East, but once a start is made that doubt will be removed. There is agreat deal of Eastern capital in California, and as soon as the capitalist learns that work on the road has really begun you will see the list of subscribers rapidly grow. Let us push the road ahead, then, with all speed, for it is going 1o be the salvation of our great and glori- ous State. In Chicago I found business quiet, and in both the wholesale and retail trade in New York there was hardly anything doing. In Cinginnati the business men were doing fair] well, but in New Orleans stagnation reigned. The feuds between the blacks and the whites will ruin that country unless the United States Government steps in and makes some radical changes. Our electrie-road system should be extended at once. In Cineinnati you cen ride eight and a half miles on_one of the best equipped roads in the Upited States for 5 cents. Y%u can go from the Fountain to Fort Thomas, or to Cov- ington or Newport, il for & nickel. The road is built across the Ohio River, and must have cost enormous sums, It is a big thing for Cin- cinnati, however, and brings large volumes of trade to the parent city. It is a great detri- ment to San Francisco that our electric roads do not reach ont for the small towus around the b-{;mlln the inferior. The fare to San Mateo by the electric road should not be more than a nickel, and a law to that effect should passed. One thing Iam glad to be able to n{. and that is that our streets are the cleanest in the Union, with one exception, and that is Phila- delphia. We are not such back numbers after all, and if we only keep pushing ahead and get that valley road under way we will be fairly on the road to prosperity. I'm glad to be home; glad to be once more in God's own country, HACKED TO PIECES. Brutal Murder of & White Trader Near | Butaritari, in the South Seas. The bark Helen W. Almy, which arrived from the Gilbert Group in the South Pacific on Saturday ‘last, brought the news of the murder of a white trader by a native police- man, which seems to have been as unpro- voked as it was brutal. The crime was committed last August. ‘The murdered man, whose name was Kansgeser, kept a store about three miles out from Butaritari. While standing in front of his store one evening the police- man ordered him inside, and upon his re- fusal to mmfiliy with the order the native sprung upon him and with a knife cut him to pieces. 3 e British Commissioner heard the case and held the native for murder. The accused and the witnesses on both sides were sent to Fiji, where the trial has been very probably held and the murderer executed. £ Since the Bflzl{ll: ‘protectorate has been established over the Gilbert Group taxes have been increased considerably, It now costs a trading vessel $500 per annum to operate among the islands, and any vessel whicl does nottake out a 1 gloruohhndin .

FIRST OF THE KIND ENOWN. Both Supposed to Have Been . Brought From Sicily by Assassins. The police have been unable to:learn anything about the two odd weapons which were. found. in the room of Vicenzo Palmi, alias Parma, the slayer of Eugenio de Leva. Officer George Rioraan has been busy since the Baturday evening murder trying to subpena witnesses, but he has found it hard work. He has made inqui- ries about the knife and the peculiar club, but the people of the neighborhood say they know nothing of such contrivances. The police believe that Palmi, alias Parma, is not the only man who carries poisoned stilettos and miniatare cannibal- island warclubs. The fact that the mur- derous weapons were found in Palmi's room shows him to a dangerous character, and his story that he picked the revolver out of Leva's pocket and killed him with his own: weapon is no longer believed. Nothing like the weapons found in Palmi’s room have ever been seen by the police, and those at the old City Hall sta- tion have had reason to believe they have gy ! b W’M The Poisoned Stiletto. SnouoStod wory>3§ seen about all made in the known world. The stiletto is evidently an old heirloom, and must have been brought from some foreign country. The handle is only three inches long, but is oval and fits in the fingers of the hand so well that it could not be easily knocked out. - The handle is of ivory-and ornamented brass. The blade is five and half inches long. Many vears ago it must have had some engrayings on it, ‘as there are some traces at present. The peculiar features of the stiletto are three holes cut through the very center of the blade. The two end holes are ordi- nary round holes, but the middle one is rectangular in shape and one inch long. In this slot is placed & thin brass tongue, which is intended to carry poison into a wound. The club is the oddest weapon ever cap- tured by the police of this city. It can more than the work of a billy or slungshot, though about' the size of those weapons. When closed it is nine incheslong, and has the appearance of an umbrella handle with a spiked knob on the end of it. - The handle of the club is like an ordinary straight cane handle. The knob at the end can be pulled out,and when itis & jointed brass rod three inches long is re- vealed. This holds the knob to the handle. The brass rod is in three parts, and has in the center a sort of double hinge, similar to those on parasols, This permits an additional swing to be given to the deadly Knob when 1t 1s hurled at some unfortu- nate’s head. From all appearances. the weapon has been used several times, as the The Unknown Weapon. brass rod had been torn from the handle. The viciousness of the inventor is shown in the knob. This is made of a knot of some culiar wood. A hole has been bored in- the knot and hot lead poured in to give additional weight. Twelve medium sized screws have been screwed into the knob and the heads filed off, leaving”a dozen spikes sticking from the sides of the knob, which could easily cut into a man’s brain, DAINTY DISHES TO ORDER, Mrs. E. M. Hinckley Tells Her Cooking Class How to Prepare Them. Creme de Celery—Oyster and Mush- room Pate—Orange Marma- lade Pudding. “When I prepare my dishes before you,” said Mrs. E. M. Hinckley to her cooking- class at 703 Sutter street, yesterday after- noon, “I do so in the most economical manner, and at the same time prepare delicious, palatable food that is fit for any one’s tabl, The dainty dishes that the teacher of cooking prepared during the afternoon proved the truth of these remarks. The menu was: “Creme de celery soup,” “vol- a -verLt uffl mnsh’r'oonés“ and oysters,” “rougl u! Pnh and ‘‘orange marma- lade pudging. {3 g & S5 The creme de celery soup isa delicious composition, but it requires watching as it, in a moment, may catch at the bottom of the pan and be lost, for soup that hasa flavor of burn to it is the worst thing that can be laid before any one, “There is one thing that I wish to im- press on you, Jadies,”” said Mrs. Hinckle; “‘and that is, the fire in your range, be wood, coal or gas—watch it constantly, do not let it get too hot, nor let it get too low, {or if you do the one or the other, you will spoil what you have in the pans. Now to prevent this soup, or any other , from catching it shmsa' be cooked in a double pot,” and she explained her meaning by showing one sauce; that fits in another half filled with ing water. The mystery ' this_soup was e: ghlned and the mmgn of th? oh-x' in the ways of the dem- onstrator. She then explained what in- gredients are necessary to make rough paste for the vol-au-vent and which may be used for meat pies. like other puff , must hmian eedmnn‘:g ul kept in an chest. “I could do without many things in the kitchens,” saxd Mrs. Hinckley, “but not without an icechest.” To make this paste she uses two-thirds of a pound of butter, a pound of sifted flour, half a teaspoonful of baking-powder, if desired, and mixes with jcewater. The mode of mixing and rolling was shown, the paste was allowed to rest on ice, and in due time it was put out of sight and taken from the oven a nicely puffed paste of light golden brown. In the hollow, made for the purpose, was placed a delicate prepara- tion of mushrooms and oysters, with cream sl‘:ga the whole proving a very palatable On the subject of mushrooms, the aemonstrator said that caltivated ones take longer to cook, those from the fields are the easiest cooked, but that if it was de- sired to have mushrooms for show then French ones should be used. The course, which was attended by the majority of the ladies who were present.on the previons Monday, was brought to a close by the compounding and cooking of marmalade pudding, a toothsome dish that was relished by the class.

Max Was- serman, the plaintiff, was on the stand most of the day, and the greater part of his testimony was direct examination: Mr. Thomas, who represents Sloss, was given three-quarters of an hour at cross-examina- tion toward the latter part of the afternoon. Lewis Gerstle’s letters to Wasserman were the subject of frequent rows between the attorneys, and much adverse ruling of the -court. The prosecution wanted to show that Gerstle knew all about the stock transaction between Wasserman and Sloss, and that he was referring to ‘it in all the obscure sentences in his letters to Wasser- man between 1888 and 1890. Many of these letters were not admitted by Judge Troutt, but they were submitted all the sameby Mr. Dorn, Wasserman’s attorney, with a persistence that at times met with success. One letter which was admitted referred to the remaining 1000 shares in the Alaska Commercial Company’s stock which Was- serman held after he had donated the 400 shares which have led to all this litigation. The letter showed that Mr. Gerstle wanted to buy the 1000 shares from Wasserman for $100 apiece, which was then par value. Wasserman would not sell, however, and the negotiations came to naught. It was with the idea of showing that if Wasser- man refused to sell 1000 shares at $100 a share he would hardly without some ob- ject sell 400 shares at $30 a share that this testimony was introduced. During the day one material fact was drawn from the attorneys for Wasserman. Mr. Nougues, in arguing some int ot law which had- arisen, emphatically stated that Mr. Wasserman did not charge Mr. Sloss with actual fraud, perjury, embezzle- ment and kindred crimes, but did so only in a legal sense. He did not think that Mr. 8loss was in personal error regarding the peculiar transfers, but he insisted there was true legal frand. This was somethin of an admission, in view of the fact thai the complaint charges that Sloss willfully and feloniously, fraudulently and errone- ously holds stock which rightfully belongs to Wasserman. ‘Wasserman’s testimony on eross-exami- nation was particularly interesting on one point. He has what is called a ‘‘strong- box" fortune, or, in other words, his for- tune is all in thedpapers he has locked in his box. He need do nothing but elip cou- pons. He does not sell his stock because 1t pays good enough interest as it is, and he lives_on the income from his invest- ments. Having %one that far in cross- examination the defense paused until this morning. ———— BERKELEY. Berkeley is becoming noted for petty thieves, eloping maidens and runaway horses. Not a week passes without at least two of these occurrences taking place. Yesterday alone there were five runaway horses dashing through the street at a slashing gait. The first horse to get be- yond control was that of the Brower Fruit and Vegetable Company. He overturned the wagon and scattered vegetables in wild confusion. A horse attached to a cart was the next to break loose, and before night- fall three more unmanageable delivery- wagon horses rushed through the streets. Luckily, no one was inj A Intercollegiate Field Day.

This is what the doctor said: “My son, your stomach is foul, because your stomach “Don’t digest properly. *‘Don’t secrete healthy digestive juices. “Don’t empty itself readily. “Don’t act correctly. “Don’t assimilate the food. “‘Your stomach is full of gases, due to undigested matter accumulating in the stomach, which becomes decomposed and ferments, generating foul gases. The mem- branes and glands of the stomach are inac- tive'from overwork and constant irritation of undigested food in the stomach.” The doctor said my bleary and weak eyes ‘were caused: From weakened nerves. From inactive circulation. From a diseased stomach. From reabsorbtion of decomposed food. From constipation of bowels. From a torpid liver. The doctor said my peculiar gait was the result of a weakening of the system in gen- eral, from a lack - of proper nourishmeng and from a lack of good rich blood. Do you want perfect digestion ?
