William J. Smith has begun suit for $25,000 demages against the Geary-street, Park and Ocean’ Railroad Company. He says he was thrown from & car_ on August 24, 1893, while golng to see the ground broken for the Mid- winter Fair site. Charles C.

A MASS.MEETING TO-NIGHT. it Is Claimed by Property-Owners That the Street Is Not Legally on the Map. The people of the Potrero and South San Francisco are in the midst of an agitation which has for its object the opening of Eighth street clear through to where Six- teenth street cleaves its way through the surrounding hills, making an eastward outlet from the Mission for the people on the extreme south side. They have wanted this work done for some time past and they are more anxious about it than ever now, fearing that their plans will fall through before the Boarc of Supervisois. The matter came up before the Btreet Committee of the Supervisors last Thursday and a protest of property- owners against the extension was sus- tained. A postponement of definite final action was obtained, though, and pending this the Potreroites are exerting them- selves in behalf of the proposition. Eighth street at present runs no farther than Division street, or Channel as it is called, although it is not the Channel street proper. Beyond this is Sixteenth. There is no thoroughfare, in fact the brick warehouse of the Hunters Point company stands in the middle of what would be the street if it was con- tinued. For years this land, which is mnot far from the tidelands, was uncared for, and no one felt any curiosity about the proposition as to whether it was a public street or only a track of marsh land. With the building up of the Potrero, though, and the cutting through and filling in of the adjacent streets, residents began to inquire why Eighth street could not be cut through. " Itis true that the street is not included in the Van Ness act, but then the full scope of the tideland grant was ndt known. Later it was decided that thetide lands lay east of Eighth street, thereby throwing that thoroughfare within the City. It was included in the new Potrero survey, and that is why the residents agplied to the Supervisors to have the land held by pri- vate owners condemned by the City and made into a street which would connect the City with the Southern Heights, the Potrero, South San Francisco and theother country beyond. It was represented by them that such a step is absolutely necessary. Fourth street, they set forth, has a drawbridge ing; Fifth street is closed by the raiiroad land; Sixth street also has a draw- bridge, and Seventh street has a steam railroad running along it. On account of these disadvantages on adjacent streets they hold the opinion that Eighth street is the nearest and most natural thoroughfare for them. “Why,” said a representative of the Southern Heights Improvement Company, yesterday, ‘‘there is no reason why Eighth street should not be opened up as a boule- vard to the south side. The trouble is that the land in this disputed section is owned by wealthy persons and the{ do not like to give up any of their land. It is the inten- tion of our Yeople, though, to agitate this matter until we win our point. To-morrow night the club will have a mass-meetin at Raymond’s Hall, corner of Napa an, Arkansas streets, to memorialize the Super- visors, calling attention to the necessity for an unobstructed outlet to the City, ana asking that proceedings be commenced to condemn Eighth street in thatsection, and | the opening of it as a public thoroughfare.” When the matter came up before the old watch and chain. A league football was found in his room which, the police think, has been stolen from some club. When searched several skeleton keys were found in his pockets. ———— THE VALLEY ROAD. Bids for Trestle Iron, Switches and Frogs—The Rails Landed. At the office of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad Company the ofticials yesterday opened bids for trestle iron, switches and frogs, all from San Francisco firms. These will be submitted to the board of directors at the weekly meeting to be held this afternoon, and itis probable that they will be acted upon in order to facilitate the work of track-laying from Stockton out. The surveying party that for some time past had been just west of Tulare, having run its ?relimmary lines, has returned to Reedly, from which point new lines will be run. The last of the first cargo of rails for the new road was placed on a barge yesterday afternoon, and now the company is await- in% the several vessels mow on the way with cargoes of railroad iron. The work of construction is to be pushed ahead as rapidly as possible, consistent with good workmanship. NO EXCUSE FOR JURDRS, A Merchant Fined Twenty-Five Dollars for Contempt of Court. The Fine Afterward Remitted, but Judge Campbell Issues a Timely Warning. D. Forster of Forster, Little & Co., furni- ture merchants, was summoned to serve as a juror yesterday afternoon in a case in Judge Campbell’s court, Yesterday being “steamer day” he did not wish to serve on the jury, and refused to give his name to the officer who served the subpena upon him. The officer reported the fact to the Judge, who determined to make an ex- ample of Forster. ‘While the jurors were being examined by the attorneys in the case, Forster made his appearance, havins come to the con- clusion that he had done wrong in not giving the officer his name. : The Judge told him he had been gmlty of contempt of court, and he made an order fining him $25. Forster left the courtroom, but was prevaiied upon to re- turn and apologize to the Judge. While waiting for an opportunity to make his apology Charles B. Perkins, the dry-goods merchant, was called asa juror, and was excused. Perkins availed him- self of the opportunity to make a strong appeal to the Judge to purge Forster of the contempt. The attorneys in the case fol- lowed with a similar appeal, and Forster made an apology that he meant no disre- spect to the court. i The Judge, in the circumstances, can- celed his order fining Farster, but said that in future he would deal severely with any one who failed in his: duty when sum- moned as a juror. “If,” sald the Judge, “they were all to follow Mr. Forster’s ex- ample, the business of the courts would be blocked. There have been too many at- tempts to evade this plain duty of eve: American citizen, and it must be stopped. A juror can always be excused on giving a proper reason.” THE SUIT ENDED. Thomas Cronin’s Case Against the Unlon Iron Works Taken Out of Court. The suit of Thomas Cronin against the TUnion Iron Works for $25,000 ddmages has been settled. Cronin was an employe of the company and on March 4, 1891, he lost the tips of two fingers of his right hand in an accident at the iron works. In Judge Slack’s court he was awarded $6166 MAP OF THE DISTRIOT, SHOWING IN BLACE THE DISPUTED LINE OF EIGHTH STREET. BRICK BUILDING STANDS. Street Committee the property-owners entered a vigorous protest on the ground that the street bad no legal existence. They claimed that any grading would be over private property. The following are the property-owners in the affected district: John Center, Emily J. Wilson and San Francisco and Fresno Land Company, Potrero block 134, bounded by Rhode Island, Alameda, Kansas and Division or Channel streets; San Franciseo Candle Company, Potrero block 168; Bart- lett Doe, the estate of J. 8. Doe, Emily J. Wilson and San_Francisco and Fresno Land Company, Potrero block 167; C. T. Ryland, Emily J. Wilson and San Fran- cisco and Fresno Land Company, Potrero block 170. As these represent a big ma- jority of the property-owners the commit- tee was onliged to sustain their protest ac- cording to the law and stop any proposed work for six months. There be{ng a doubt as to the questions involved in the matter the committee resolved to ask the advice f“ the City Attorney before taking any ac- on. “We are only fighting the matter on legal grounds, which we know are right,” said Mr. Center. “We do not believe the prndposed extension hasany legal existence, and there is no reason why private prop- er'iy should be invaded.” he San Francisco and Fresno Land Company is owned princivally by the Bank of California, and the officials say that they are only obstructionists because they do r‘;oetnthmk the land is other than private Pro; Y. So the matter stands, and the improve- ment club people expect to have a big whoop-up to-night. Robbed While Asleep. James Gleason, a well-known thief, was ar- rested yesterday by Policemen Reynolds, Dono- van and Dinan and booked at the City Prison on the chlrlg‘el l;:u‘nnd larceny and having burglars’ tools in possession. A few I'D‘h took J. Moraghan, who 'B:h?l!l.a: California Market, to his room on Pine street, and while Moraghan was asleep he stole his THE - OROSS SHOWS WHERE THE three years ago. The petition for a new trial was granted and yesterday the case was taken up by Judge Daingerfield. By stipulation of the counsel on both sides, however, the jury was instructed to bring in a verdict for the defense, the case having been settled out of court. ——————— THE STANFORD OASE AGAIN. It Will Be Retried Before the Circuit Court of Appeal The Stanford case is now on its way to the Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Mc- Kisick, special counsel for the Govern- ment, filed his petition for an appeal with the clerk of the United States Circuit Court yesterday. When the eourt opened at 11 A. M. he appeared before Judge McKenna and asked that his appeal be granted. His Honor consented and the citation was made returnable on August 14 next. It is the intention to hold a special ses- sion of the Circuit Court of Appeals next August, and if the Stanford case is then Tea glt will be heard. Should the court decide against the Government, Judge Mo- Kisick will carry the matter to the United States Supreme Court, in order io settle the matter forever. A Small Blaze on Seventh Street.

Improvements to Be Made for the Con- venience of Visitors and Particularly the Juvenile Patrons. Librarian Clark is about to make many improvements in the Free Public Library which will be of great accommodation to patrons. On the main floor a space will be reserved for ladies. This will not only be more convenient than the present quarters, but better lighted. The present apartments for ladies in the upper corri- dors will be turned into a juvenile depart- ment. Here} about 5000 voiumes of juvenile literature will be shelved, and they will be placed in_charge of some assistants who take special interest in directing the read- ing of the young. Free access will be given to the shelves under the supervision of the assistants, and thus a more intelligent selection of books can be made. A check on the books will be kept by causing each JOHN F. PINKHAM, MARSHAL OF THE SOCIETY, WHO REACHED HIS SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY. [Drawn from a photograph.] receipts therefor to the court on behalf of the society. The full amount of the trust was $604,- 65408, The difference between the last- mentioned sum and the cash paia over to the society’s officers represents the cancel- lation of a mortgage in the sum of three hundred thousand and odd dollars and ac- crued interest. The acquirement of this handsome sum by the Society of Califofnia Pioneers is due to the eighteenth clause of the James Lick deed of trust, which reads as fol- lows: And in_further trust, after discharging the trusts and making the payments hereinbefore mentioned, in the order hereinbefore set forth (except as herein otherwise directed), to make over and transfer the residue of the proceeds of the property hereby transferred and con- veyed, and intended to be, in equal propor- tions, to the California Academy of Sciences and the Society of California Poneers, to be expended by them, respectively, in the erec. tion of the building’ mentioned in the deeds of the party of the first part, to said societies, dated October 23,1873, and in the purchase, after the erection of such buildings, of a suita- ble library, natural specimens, chemical and philosophical -g ratus, rare and curious things usefulin the advancement of science, and genersily in the carrying out of the objects for which said societies were respectively estab- lished. The largest portion oi the $204,684 08 will be invested and the interest applied to the benefit of the relief fund. At present there is only about $7300 in that fund; and with forty-four names on the relief list this large acquisition will come in most cppor- tunely. Even now the benefactions uncer the relief fund amount to about $1000a month, and the number is bound to in- crease rapidly. The average amount paid to each member is about $25, depending on condition, age, etc. The $1000 a month paid in relief benefits does not include the expense of funerals and the purchase of burial lots. Last year’s death roll, ending June 30, 1895, numbered sixty-six seniors. Two have died so far this month. The majority of the 700 seniors left in the society are over 70 years of age. Most of the deaths last year were of members between 70 and 80 years of age. The membership at present numbers 1112, segregated as follows: 786 seniors, 234 sons and grandsons, and 2 honorary members. The total number of signatares on the roll is 3540, the difference between that numoer and the up-to-date member- ship denoting the number of deaths that have t:rklan place since the organization of the society. ‘Willard B. Farrell, who is at present en- aged in writing “The Life of James ick,” in speaking about the trust, yester- day recalled the effort that was foolishly made by some of the society’s members to defeat the grand benefaction. ‘“They no dou®t saw their mistake long ago,” he added, “and are as gratified as any of us for what we have received. But they were laboring under a misapprehension in the first place, having been misled in theirzeal by the attacks made by some of the papers. However, it is ours now and we ought to be able to do much good with it among our members. We are dying off rapidly, and it will be buta few yearsat best until all will be gone. The sons and grandsons will perpetuate the society after we have been gathered unto our fathers.” POSTOFFICE CHANGES. Four Men Lost Their Positions and Two Others Have Been Appointed by Postmaster McCoppin. There were a number of changes in the postoffice yesterday and four heads fell into the basket. Postmaster McCoppin is de- termined to have an efficient staff and the chances are that two more heads will fall before the end of the week. E. W. Hutchings was appointed as s clerk some time ago, but was not con- firmed, pending his examination by the Civil Service Board. He failed to secure the necessary percentage, so he was forced to retire and make room for some one who did. . J. Harris, a carrier, was dis- missed for the non-delivery of certain mail matter from Station E. He returned to the main office half an hour ahead of time and left the undelivered letters on his desk. Fred Reich has been appointed to Harris’ %elgu Patrick y, & substitute carrier, was issed for ‘‘general demoralization,” d Fred H. Merrill for absence from duty and ref to take the Civil Bervice ex- amination. Merrill was a distributor and his place has been taken by E. M. Kelly. Postmaster McCoppin is allowed $186.398 & year on which to run the P ce. Last year he spent $300 less than his allowance one to account for the books in his or her possession on going out. The library will close to-morrow from 12 to 6 P. M., out of respect for the late Charles C. Terrill, a member of the board of trus- tees, who will be buried then by the Odd Fellows. He was appointed on the origi- nal board in 1878. llector of the Port z\’u\éxs the sole surviving member of that oard. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR MECCA, The Local Members Already Preparing for the Trip to Boston. Three Speclal Tralns Will Be Fitted Out for as Many Com- manderiles. Although still more than a month away, the twenty-sixth triennial conclave of Knights Templar, which is to open in Bos- ton on August 27 and continue for three or four days, is attracting considerable atten- tion among the local commanderies of the fraternity. Plans have already been made for the pilgrimage of two of the commanderies of this City and one of Oakland. San Fran- cisco will be represented by California Commandery No. 1 and Golden Gate No. 16, and Oakland by Oakland Commandery No.11. The respective strength of these commanderies is 311, 266 and 148. Each will go as a separate body in a special train consisting of five or six Pull- mans, a baggage, dining and commissary car, which will go through without change. California will Ieave on the 18th of August and the other commanderies will follow a day or two later. It isexpected that each commandery will send about fifty mem- bers, who will be accompanied by their fumilies. During the session of the conclave the local commanderies will set a_special day for receiving guests, on which occasion California fruits and wines will be liberally dispensed. One of the great public features of the conclave is the parade, which precedes the formal opening of the session, The three California commanderies will participate, and California Commandery will mounted in their usual pieturesque ltgle on coal black chargers. 1tisexpected that 45,000 Knights will march in the proces- sion. There will also be a grand_competi- tive drill, and it is possible that California, Golden Gate and Oakland may all enter. Among the interesting matters that will come before the encampment will be the seleciion of the seat of the next conclave, to be held in 1898. Two cities are already in the field—Pitts- burg and Louisville. The Pittsburg Knights Templar have already secured subscrip- tions amounting to more than $50,000 to entertain the visitors should their city be chosen. On the day of the parade the city of Bos- ton will be draped in black and white, re- lieved by the scarlet Maltese cross. MISPLACED KINDNESS. J. W. Brown, alias Maloy, Robbed a Man Who Befriended Him. J. N. Brown, alias Patrick Maloy, was yesterday held to answer before the Su- perior Court by Judge Conlan on the charge of burglary in $2000 bonds. On June 15 Brown met John H. Horgan, the driver of a milk wagon for Peter An- zenhofer, a rancher on the Mission road near the Six-mile House. He pleaded pev- :;ty wlflorg;nan g he hlsmkno“monay ay for a bed. Horgan upon hi£ nynd drove him to the mcxs st fit- ted up a bed for him in a room adjoining his own. Next morning when Horgan left on his rounds Brown was asleep and when he returned he found that Brown had gone. He had broken into Horgan’s room and taken with him all of his clothing. He pawned some of it, and when arrested was wearing a coat, hat and pair of trousers be- longing to Horgan. ¥ ——————— The Survival of the Fittest.

Hoyt’s New Musical [Comedy Finds Great Favor at the California. There was a brilliant audience at the Baldwin last night to celebrate the reopen- ing of the theater and to witness the first night of Daniel Frohman’s Lyceum The- ater Company. Old favorites were greeted with warm applause as they made their appearances and in a few cases, as in those of Herbert Kelcey and W. J. Le Moyne, the dialogue had to be interrupted for a few moments till the demonstrativeness of the welcome had subsided. The play was Henry Arthur - Jones’ ““The Case of Rebellious Susan,”” which was produced in London about a_year ago and received its initial San Francisco performance last night. Like the most of the new English plays it deals with the “New Woman” question, Lady Susan Harabin, after six years of blissful, if monotonous, married life, discovers some compromising letters that her husband has written to another woman. She at once sends for her uncles and her aunt, and as grave a family consuitation is held as if the fate of nations depended upon James Har- rabin’s being brought to book for his matri- monial shortcomings. : §iSusan, who is not the sort of woman to suffer in silence, listens to all her relatives’ well- meant advice, and finding it not in accordance with her ideas that “what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,” announces her intention of kicking over the traces, snaps her fingers in her husband’s face and goes off to Egypt, where she demonstrates her emancipa- tion by flirting desperately with another man. Miss Isabel Irving was & very dashing and independent Susan, & trifle too bouncing, perhaps, in the first act, for it 'was hard to believe that & ‘woman used to good society would flounce and Yiroueue as she did, even though she was suf- lering the mental agony of knowing her hus- band was false. Perbaps it was the leaven of the new woman working in her. In the other &wo acts the leaven seemed to have had time to settle down, and she was ladylike as well as charmingly self-assertive. In her scene with the lover picked up in Egypt, Ferguson Pybus, she was sincere and impressive, and in the last act she made the most of rebellious Susan. Herbert Kelcey was one of the most sympa- thetic and finished of the performersasSusan’s uncle, a divorce court judge and an old bach- elor, who only seemed to live to act the part of a good and wise mentor toevery one else in the play. He was always on hand to prevent elopements, smooth down matrimonial squab- Dbles and give good advice, whether it was relished or not. Asarule his advice was re- ceived with contumely, but this did not pre- vent him from persevering in his disinterested course. His own love scene with Miss Inez Questrel, a part played by Annie Irish, was & charming bit of acting. Herbert Kelcey had a niece, Elaine S8hrimp- ton, who was even more prononnced in her views on the woman guestion than Susan her- self. This young lady, whose role was excel- lently interpreted by Elizabeth Tyrel, insisted on marrying an esthetical gentleman, who in some mysterious way was going to stamp him- self on the age. Ultimately he himself was stamped in a very unpleasant manner on the eye by a “coarse, brutal butcher,” whose wife had been induced ta join the Boadicea Society by Elaine, who insisted on being & woman's rights orator. Le Moyne wasexcellent as Admiral Sir Joseph Darby, and Mrs. Charles Walcot made the most i:i lt‘ndy Darby’s role. The staging was excel- ent. Columbia Theater. “One of Our Girls,” with Helen Dauvray as the “girl,” was & success at the Columbia Theater last night.. The first act was a little doubtful. ‘Miss Dauvray did not scintillate so brilliantly as she had been expected to do, and the audience felt a little out of its element in the French atmosphere; but the second act, its international hiss, sealed the success of “One of Our Girls,” and the third act ter- minated with an enthusiastic curtain-call. Bronson Howard’s play is full of sparkling lines snd bright repartee, with one situation that becomes tragic. Miss Dauvray entered thoroughly into the spirit of fun that made the American girl tease the solemn French aristo- crats. An aristocrat as depicted by George W. Leslie would provoke a saint 1o tease, if not to revile him. Frawley was good as the English captaln who cap- tured Miss Dauvray's heart, although it was a matter for regret that he should have assumed the English accent used by omnibus- dlflvers and other cockneys of the humbler class. In the tragedy that culminates the third act Helen Dauvray rose well to the occasion in a clever rather than a strong manner. George Osbourne fully shared the honors of the even- ing with her. ~ Grand Opera-House, “The Flag of Truce,” which was produced last night, is a pretty and effectively staged drama of the Civil War, the scene of which is 1aid near Proyidence, R. 1. Sanford and Coulter Brinker represented the twin sons of an old man ‘‘Dad.” The elder son is drafted, but as he is married and has a young son, the younger, Jim, who has been a reckless fellow, goes in his place. Edmund Hayes gives a clever impersonation of the villain, who, as “the friend of the fam- iy, does his' best. to wreck the happiness of every member of it. The scene in the stone quarry is a very exciting one. Hayes locsens a tremendous stone; hanging from a. derrick, and lowers it on the hero, whom he has pre- viously stunned. All the characters were well sustained last night, especially those of the brothers, Tom and Tim, and the.old Irish nurse, a part played Dy Julia Blanc. The Alcazar, “Muleahy’s Visit,” an Irish comedy, replete with distinctively Irish humor, opened last evening at the Alcazar to a good house. Tom Leary, who has appeared before at the Tivoli, was Michael Mulcahy, and James F. Post was Michael Muldoon, and between them they fur- nished most of the fun, There is no plot of an; importance, but the endeavors of Mrs. Mul- doon to make & good match for her daughter form the base upon which the play rests. Josephine Gassman, Anna Daly, Margaret Mar- :xlul and Nina Cook are the ladies of the ece. pAu prelude the drama ‘‘Sweethearts” ‘was presented, with Miss Gracie Plaisted, by per? jon of Mrs. Kreling, in the soubrette pari “Satanella” at the Tivoli, The tuneful story of “Satanella” once more trills from the Tivoli stage and its opening last evening was greeted witi a house crowded to its limit. With the new faces in the company the piece takes on a mnew interest to Tivoli goers, and the new d;neoyle certainly fulfill expectations in “Satanella.”” Louise Royce alternated with Alice Nielsen as Satanella, and it was well the arrangement was made, for the rhythmic measures of Satanella’s song of love were en- cored whenever rendered. Miss Royce was compelled to repeat it three times when she sang it to Rupert, her lover. The part of Ru- f(" Count of Brockenberg, was taken b artin Pache, who sang in this City witl Marie Tavary. He is a tenor of considerable power, with & voice which he handles well, and which shows the effect of careful training. As Rupert he appears to advantage, and in the duets of the piece he showed that his voice blends well with the other principals. Ferris Hartman was Horte tutor, and he brought to the part his own culiar style of comedy. JohnJ. Raffael was racaccio, the pliate chiel, a small part, and Laura Millard appeared as Count Rupert’s foster sister, Lelia. The piece will run well. Hoyt's New Oomedy. Hoyt's latest musical comedy, “A Black Sheep,” appeared for the first time In San Fran- cisco last evening at the California Theater. As a plot it is not so good as some of Hoyt's comedies, but the company is an excellent one, and Otis Harlan is enough by himself to make fun out of any piece. Nearly every one in the company can do something in the line and do it well, and in “A Black Sheep” there is plenty of chance for each. The erratic career of Goodrich Mudd, other- wise known as Hot Stuff, is the point of the story. He is left a fortune provided he mazries his cousin if she consent within a year of 365 ; but it h-p&nm to be a leap year, and but for the timely remembering of that fact the fortune would have gone elsewhere. As it is, his cousin refuses him and he marries the “queen of burlesque” from & comic opera tro o'mhmn is excellent. From the time he takes his first drink in a manner new and ca tivating until the end of the last act he us, Rupert's’ doing something funny. He is the moving spiritin a piece with lots of “g0’”’ to it. He has songs without number from_“Daisy Stokes” to college glees, and he sings them in a way to bring down the house. Goodfellow Gunning, editor of the Tombstone Arizona Inscription, Jaryis Field, a New York lawyer, and Jack As- pen, a theatricdl manager, are afl excellent. The ladies of the piece are all light-footed and interesting, and they dance and sing in the jolliest manner possible. Miss Lida Skid- dons, the “queen of burlesque,”’ and star of Aspen’s troupe, by Miss Laura Biggar, does the singing for the ladies, but the rest eqeflne themselves to dancing and folnlng in th® chorus. The piece was very well received, and after the second act Harlan had to come before the curtain and make & little speech. The {)Xece bids fair to run as well as any that Hoyt has brought here. The Orpheum. The Orpheum opened with several new at- tractions last evening, but the list was smaller than was expected or intended. The Garnells, fimt,esque acrobats, tarried too long in enver, as did also Maud Harris, and for missing the train they were unable to reach here in time, and so will not appear until next Monday. The Whitne; brothers, musical artists, were received witl great applause, particularly in their musical boxing match, when, by resounding blows on chest and shoulders, each plays a tune upon the other. The engagement of the Martinettis has been prolonged for twelve weeks, eight of which will be put in at the Orpheum here, two in Los Angeles and two in Denver. Kennedy and Lorenz are still on the pill with their mind- reading mysteries, as are also Gilbert and Goldie and Millar's diorama. Downing's New Play. Robert Downing bas had a standing notice in sll the papers of thiscountry for the last five years that he would give $10,000 for another “Gladiator.” During that time he has read hundreds of plng! and has spent a good many thousands of dollars in producing some of them, but never, until he secured the playof “Helena,” by Victorien Sardou, has he felt that he had a play that would stand side by side with “The Gladiator.”” Swallowed Carbolic Acld. The wife of Ernest Cedero, 539 Vallejo street, ‘was taken to the Receiving Hospital last night suffering from carbolic-acid poisoning. She was attended by Dr. Deane and will recover. Cedero is employed at the Life Slvlng Station and when he got.home last night hejhad & quarrel with his wife. She ran out of the house to a drugstore, bought the carbolic acid and swallowed it when she returned home. e e e o e e NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS, etk FRIEDLANDER.GOTTLOD & G- (E35E5 ADMANAGLRS -~ NOT 1 AN EVEN | #AirTHOUAKE CAN AFFECT THE ATTENDANCE.
