Yester the ‘‘neighborhood’” had read Mr. Ashworth’s interview and it sat down at once to write a letter o THE CaLL over the signature of P. Rei of 3339 Mission street, who has the e tune to live next door to the monumeng to Mr. Ashworth's official neglect. In it he y referred to | S d that the | T | suppos | and department.

In conclusion, he asked that a reporter be sent out to investigate the matter. In compliance with this request, a reporter called yesterday afternoon and was con- ducted around the premises by Mr. Reilly and Mr. Geherty. It took only the most rsory glance to establish the truth of the sertions made by the property-owners. The place was the only blot on as fair a neighborhood as the City possesses, and a man with half a nose needed but one whiff of the air to realize the disease-breeding properties of the stagnant pools surround- ing the building. “It's a disease-breeding nest,” said Mr. “In these days, when the sun is ng are intolerable, and vet we seem helpless to remedy the matter. We have tried every means in our power to persuade Mr. Ashworth to do his duty and he has paid no attention to us. It ruins our property, and is a blotch on the neighborhood.” ~ “Do you think it's a fair deal’’ ex- claimed Mr. Geherty, somewhat excitedly, *‘that such a_nuisance should be allowed toremain? Do you think that Ashworth or his dolyuuc: are doing their duty? Not ch. They don’t pretend to do their Tm\e- are robbing the taxpayers; that’s all there is aboutit. You can for me that when Mr. hworth says w are satisfied with the Street Department he tells a falsehood. We are dis- tinctly dissatisfied with him, his deputies and his department, and the sooner he knows it the better we’ll like it.” Mr. Gaden, who was seen a_little later, had something to say concerning Mr. Ash: worth’s interview. _“Referring to the article in Sunday’s CavrL,” ke said, **headed ‘Ashworth Indig- * inregard to then ce complained of by numerous property-holders at Mis- sion and Eugenia streets, I would say, for the purpose of setting myself straight in the matter, I revisited the locality this morning and found there a gathering of indignant citizens writing a letter to THE CALL denying every statement made by Chief Deputy Donovan as being maliciously faise, and in every way doing them a gross injustice. “Mr. Ashworth complains that the May- office and the Mayor's experts are ma- iciously, willfully and inexcusably igno- rant of public proceedings, when, reaily, shworth is proving every day that ly i ble of handling the , or the duties de- volving upon him in the office of Street Superintendent. Mr. Ashworth complains that I making a versonal fight against him, which he knows very well to beun- true. When I was detailed by Mr. Sutro Jok into the public work I was joined e Elder, expert for the chairman treet Committee of the Board of sors, and we had no trouble in ar- atan agreement to work in har- for the public good. This, we sub- ntly discovered, was very necessary, Mr. Elder has been refused all informa- on from the Street Department, not- standing repeated requests directly 1 the chairman of the Street Commit- tee of the Supervisors. My visit to Mission and Eugenia streets was made in response to a letter received at the Mayor’s office, signed by Mr. Reilly nd other property holders, calling his Honor's attention to the nuisance. Asa o sceedings the report I made is on file. “One of my first moves when I entered upon this work for Mayor Sutro was to call upon Mr. Ashworth with a letter of introduction from his Honor. Ashworth to allow me to co-operate him in every way, and that he should kewise with the Mayor's office to see good work was Mr. Ashworth the outset appeared indignant at, what 1 ch interference, and said the or had nothing to do with any assess- or final acceptances further than to ; the signature. ‘Were M shworth in close touch with the Mayor’s office as he should be there be none of thes plaints.

One thing is certain, cing complimented in every direc , on the street and in the Mayor’s of- for the work that is being done for the axpayers. “The most extraordinary part of the whole proceeding is that Mr. Ashworth ad a personal grievance st him and his depu- at not the case.

The Boys Want More Money and Refuse to Pay for a Broken Machine. An incipient infantile strike occurred at the bag ry of Ames & Harris on the cor yesteraay morning. The labor and ultra-socialistic spirit of the age is rampant for the time being among the outwalking youngsters for- in the employ of Ames & Harris. Acting under the directions of a committee composed of masters Frank Nolan, Thomas Thon Parkinson and Jerry bout fifteen of the juvenile bag ent out Saturday night. red in a body yesterday morning and through the committee ught to bring about an adjustment of af- rs. The boys claimed they had been they wanted an advance concert was made on one of the boys { for breaking a machine, the repair of vhich, it is said, cost less than $1. ‘The youngsters marched on the office with solid front and warlike mien and de- d redress instanter. trong. A laugh greeted the youngsters, and their ire fell like the mercury after a Jan- uary sundown. The foreman informed them that their services were no longer needed, and that they would have to settle for the broken machine on the under side of the great hereaiter. Their spirits were dampened, but being true Americans and imbued with the fever of labor’s equality and a stand-off with capital, they maintained an upper lip that was stiff and fulfilled all the promises and conditions of a walk-out. Mr. Ames smiled good-naturedly when ‘asked sbout the incipient strike.” *It is all due,” he said. *‘to one discordant spirit we have had in the factory for some time past.

BACKED DOWN FROM 12 TO 1 Through Superior Jockeyship Hin- richs Landed Gold Bug Win= ner in a Drive. Piggott rode the winners ot the first two events, and was second in two of the following races. Walter J, the good-looking son of that prorm- ising sire imp. True Briton, ran a remarkably fine race from where he got off. Away in the first flight he could hardly have lost. A rumor was in circulation yesterday at the track that the meeting would close down for & while owing to a lack of entries, but lacks con- firmation. There is some talk, however, of re- turning to the old regime; racing but five days a week. = s After Gold Bug had won the fourth heat Billy Beverly, the bookmaker, rushed down to the stand intending to bid up the sprinter, who belongs to an aged owner with but little Wyatt Earp held a short consultation with Mr. Beverly, and the bookmaker returned to the ring without carrying out his intention. About three years ago old Guadaloupe, to whom *‘taking the sticks” was then for- eign, was what is known in turf pariance a *‘good thing” in a five-furlong dash run in the mud over the Bay District track. Opening in the betting at 40 to 1, he was backed down to 6 to 1 at post time and won in a gallop. His owner, C. W. Chappell, was several days cashing his numerous winning tickets. Since that time until yesterday Mr. Chappell has done nothing to startle the turf world. In the last event on the card, a cheap five-furlong dash, he had entered the Montana short-horse Red Dick, whom ke has been reserving for a soft spot. Opening at twelves, a rapid transit play knocked his price down to threes, quicker than it takes time to teil. The horse from the land of record-breaking half-breeds won by an eyebrow at the wire, after having at one time a lead of nearly eight lpnztis over his field, and_ the folks that had the ‘right thing'’ cashed their tickets. The ring was not hit as hard as it might have been, for very few of the pen- cilers at present doing business at the track will take overa $20 bet ona horse unless he “hears something” from his out- side man. | The attendance, of which there has been a noticeable falling off of late, was light and a poor lot of entries furnished an un- exciting aay’s sport. In the opening event O'Bee, the 7 to 5 fayorite, ran over the top of the three | ““dogs” in against him, finishing the five and a half furlongs in 1:08)5. Ike L was a handy second over My Charm. Starter Ferguson experienced much trouble in getting the eight youngsters | away that lined up in_ the two-year-old event at half a mile. When the flag finally | fell the 8 to 5 favorite, Clara Johnson, | showed in front followed by the Gladette | gelding and Britannia. The result was problematical as they turned into the stretch, Lady Leinster filly, Don Pedro, the Linda Vista filly and Walter J show- | ing prominently in the front rank. Well ion toward home the Linda Vista filly shook her fieid off and won by a length m Walter J in 5014 seconds. Don Pedro was a good third. The winner went to the postat 5 to 1. The favorite fell out of the race soon after the start. Heavily backed at 6 to 5 and 11 to 10 | Normandie was considered a certainty for the third race, a mile run, but the best she could do was to finish second to Miss Gar- | vin the, 5 to 2 second choice, who took the iead from Greenback Jr. before entering the stretch and won easily in 1:423{. Clau- | dius was a good third. The only race to causea flutter of ex- citement was the finish in the fourth, a five-furlong sprint. erythingin the race | outside of Banjo and Tillie 8. who were a | drug on the market, received support. At | post time Lady Jane, whose price had re- ceded in the betting, had a slight call over Myron with 314 to 1 against him. Gold Bug and Sir Richard were found next in the order named. | Myron took the lead soon after they were dispatched and appeared to have the | race up his sleeve as he entered the stretch with an open lead of two lengths over Lady Jane. Tiilie 8, whe was here second, fell outof it and Sir Richard and Gold Bug | started after the leaders. After somewhat of a bumping match the last hundred | vards, Hinrichs, by good riding, got Gold | Bug past the wire by a close margin, finish- ing a head in front of Sir Richard, with | Myron next the rail a close third. The judges disqualified_Sir Richard for the" place, which gave Myron second money and Lady Jane third. The 2 to 1 fayorite, Tuxedo, finished sec- ond to Rea Dick in the last race, although catching the fastly dying sprinter at every jump. Wild Rose was third. MULHOLLAND. | | | SUMMARY.

JOHN DAGGETT'S PARTY, Some Celebrated Democrats at the Palace Hotel Forty Millions of Gold and Silver Out of Sight in the Mint. John Daggett, Superintendent of the Mint, accompanied by Congressman Ma- gui~e, ex-Congressman Geary, John Boggs and Dennis Spencer, strolled into the court of the Palace Hotel last evening. This as- semblage of noted California Democrats | excited some curiosity, but inquiry dis- | closed the fact that no political signiti- | cance was attached to the gathering. They | called to see H. W.Van Senderand take him | to Marchand’s for dinner, but the private secretary of Mr. Carlisle was at the thea- ter. i 1t was suggested that these illustrious | Democrats were inclined to celebrate the | advent into this world of the third Cleve- land baby, but incidental to the celebra- tion it was surmised that some influence | would be raliied in behalf of Dennis Spen- | cer for attorney of the Board of Health. | Mr. Spencer very frankly says that he would accept the office, and his friends | assert that he is entitled to it. The selec- | tion, according to Mr. Svencer’s idea, rests | wholly with Governor Budd, who has authority under the law to appoint the attorney. ! John Daggett feels elated over the fact | that the money in the Mint has been | counted and found correct. “I have a | clean bill of health,” said the Superintend- ent, “which is very gratifying considering the scandal at the Carson Mint and the close investigations everywhere else. i “The process of counting was thorough, | being conducted by two representatives of the Government and two of my own. This accounting is made annually of the work- ing material on hand. The $40,000,000 in the vaults when I took the office were not counted. The vaults are sealed with the Government seals and may not be opened until my successor is appointed. Of this amount silver is represented to the value of eleven million ounces, purchased under the Sherman Act.” ki John Daggett said politicians who were disappointed did not trouble him. He had given a bond to manage mint affairs and proposed to conduct the office as his judgment dictated. A Bicycle Thief. George Rodgers, a waiter, was booked at the City Prison lest night by Detective Handley on the charge of grand larceny. On June 25 Frank Ryen was riding & bicycle on Van Ness avenue, when Rodgers knocked him off it and rode awayon it. Another charge will likely be preferred ageinst him for selling a bicycle that he had hired from a cycler; ——————— The grocer sends some other brand of baking powder simply because it costs him so much less, and he can make more profit by seliing it than the Royal. The Royalis made from the very finest and purest ma- terials and costs much more than any other brand, which accounts for its superiority, although it is sold to consumers at the n‘lgq):‘ice. O THE EASTERN TRACKS, Lambent and Deerslayer the Only Favorites First at Brighton Beach. Carl Holland, a Long Shot, Sur- prises the Talent at Oakley Park. BRIGHTON BEACH RACETRACK.— ., July 8.—The programme here to-day was pruned considerably, but it did not suffer nearly so much in this respect as it did on Saturday. The attendance was very good for Monday and although the track was far from fast and was dead in spots both horses and jockeys Lad a moreagree- able time of it than on Saturday. Only two favorites carried off honors to-day, Lambent in the second event and Deer- slayer in the last. The winners of the other races were mostly long shots and none of the finishes were exciting. Mile, Aurelian won, Charade second, Daily America third. Time, 1:44. Five furlongs, Lambent won, Little Dorritt second, Veneta third, Time, 1:04. Hali mile, Perseus won, Lorrit Balmaghie third.
