At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors yesterday Mayor Sutro submitted & communi- cation ealling for the repeal of that,part of the street specifications requiring all rock to pass the rattler test, declaring it to pe in the in- terest of & monopoly. A resolution was passed by the Board of Su- pervisors yesterday, as presented by Supervisor Epreckels, requiring all statements before com~ mittees to be made in writing, snd that all matters first be presented to the board before going to the committee at all. An Bpplrentl{ crazy man, who gave the name of Marquis Chelovich, caused consider- able excitement on Markel street yesterda: afternoon by pinching ladies on the cheek an kissing his hand to ladies in the Palace Hotel windows. He was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital.

Michael O'Toole, 17 years of age, who works at the Pacific Box Factory, was oiling & cut- ting-machine yesterday afternoan when one of the men set the machine in motion. 0’Toole’s sleeve was caught in the machine and his left arm was twisted and broken at the shoulder. He was taken to the Reoelving Hospital. n AROUND THE WATER FRONT The Old Ship Blue Jacket Is to Be Dismantled and Broken Up. A HEAVY UPPER-DECK LOAD. Three Deep-Water Vessels Arrive Yesterday —A Sailor Lost Overboard. Yesterday the tug Monarch hooked on to the ship Blue Jacket, owned by the Black Diamond Coal Company, and gave the old vessel her last tow. For three years she has been lying up at Port Costa, from which place she was taken to Main street to be dismantled and broken up. | The vessel was built at Green Point, New Xgrk, in 1865, and during much of her thirty years’ life bas been doubling the Horn. So often has she encountered the eternal storms of that locality and so suc- will hereafter meet in B'nai B'rith build- ing. This is the second time this brother- hood will have moved in three months. e ————— HENDERSON IS SULLIVAN. Clarence Barr’s Slayer Identified in the City Prison by a Casual Visitor. C. B. Henderson, who killed Clarence Barr the Chinatown guide, is playing a bold game by persisting in declaring that he is a traveler for a big shoehouse in the East and not Con Sullivan, the notorious bunko man. The police are perfectly sat- isfied that he is Con Sullivan, not only from the statements made by Mrs. John- sen, but from other sources. Yesterday afternoon a gentleman had business in the City Prison and took alook at the prisoners. hen he reached Hen- derson’s cell, Henderson after glancing at him quickly turned his back, but he was not quick enough, as the visitor recognized him at once as Con Sullivan. “I don’t desire to be mixed up inthe case,” he said, “and therefore I don’t want my name mentioned. I had occa- sion to meet Con Sullivan several times in this City, and that is he, sure enough, in the cell. I knew him at once. He used to frequent the saloon at 115 Eddy street, and if I am not mistaken, lived at that time in the Esmond House on Sixth street. He is a very clever, sure-thing man and stands high up among the gang.” Vinue- The Esmond House is where * — e AT THE CITY PLAYHOUSES, Eplgrams. and Perversions in “The ldeal Husband” at the Baldwin. A GRACEFUL TRILBY DANCE. Time-Honored Tunes at the Tivoli. Villainy Foiled at the Grand. Orpheum. The author of ““An Ideal Husband'’ used to go to the first nights of his plays to see whether the audience succeeded. Ii he had been at the Baldwin last night he would have been almost satisfied with San Francisco, for it laughed at his perverted proverbs, at the bitier froth of his epi- grammatic sentences which begin with the roar of moral cannon and end with the fizz of an ineffective firecracker. -*‘An Ideal Husband” 1s a brilliant series of clever scenes. It contains nothing new as to plot, nothing original as to charac- ter creation, but the play of its wit is fascinating, and what it lacks in dramatic action it makes up in the sparkle of intel- lect, in atmosphere and in polished worldly wisdom. It is a picture, most likely a very truthful one, of English so- ciety. It doesnotcaricature my Lord intoa Tweenways, neither does it idealize him into a Sir Richard Kald. He is there, though, with his faults and follies, as well as his serious moments, which are few. But after four acts of ‘“An Ideal Husband’’ one is pessimistic enough to believe that there is more realism in Lord Goring than in either of the aristocratic gentlemen who touched respectively the height of the sublime and the ridiculous in tHe modern drama. The Lyceum Company does some very excellent acting in “An Ideal Husband.” Kelcey makes much of Lord Goring. He contrives to make the indolent, conven- tional young lordling quite human and altogether likable. The scene between Goring and his father is as careful and well- propertioned a bit as any the Lyceum Company has given here. Le Moyne’s dry manner, the low, disgusted tone of his voice as the Earl of Caversham leaves the TEE LAST TOW OF THE BLUE JACKET — TO BE BROKEN UP. [Sketched by a * Call” artist.] cessfully weathered them that 1t has been said in the forecastle that the gales ceased blowing when she started around the wind- | beaten cape. Nothing could blow her off her course, and the perverse spirits of air would try to calm in hopes of worrying the ship that was so faithful and true to her mission. However, their labor in any case was in vain as the stanch crafi always | came in port on time. The Blue Jacket was a fast ship in her day and one of the heavy sail-carriers of the Yankee merchant marine. The New England builders that possessed the knack of shaping beauty, stability and speed into their hulls hewed and fitted her frame, and made her last three decades of toilsome years. The Pacific Mail steamer San Blas sailed for Panama with a small passenger list but a heavy upper deckload of ?reight. On the after-part of the vessel the cases were piled high above the rail, and amid- ships were several passenger-cars, shipped to Guatemala. The freight was stowed so decply on the second deck that the passages and gangways were blocked with heavy cases of merchandise. The hold of the steamer, which was reserved for through or Panama freight, was not full. Quite a fleet of vessels came in yester- day, and the bay is not the exclusive place | of the seagulls, as it has been the last two weeks. he Bantiago, Wilder and_Con- suelo came in from the islands, while the British ship Eudora arrived from Swansea, the Garnet from Santa Rosalia and Hel- enslea from Antwerp. During the trip of the Eudora Ludolf Kemme, seaman, a native of Germany, was lost overboard June 22. He was out on the bowsprit, working on the staysail, when a sudd%n plunge of the vessel, as- sisted by the flap of the heavy canvas, knocked him into'the sea. A dispatch from New York to C. H. Has- well, acting agent of the Panama Railroad in this city, states that the strike at Colon is over and train service on the isthmus is working smoothly. 2 The gig log raft left the Eolumbia River Sunday, and is now on its way down the coast towed by the collier Mineola. Asa heavy wind_has been blowing at sea since the unwieldy mass started it is feared it will go to pieces as did the others. If no accidents happen to delay the tow it will arrive here to-morrow night. THE UNION CARPENTERS. Local Brotherhood 483 Refuses to Ask President Cleveland to Pardon E. V. Debs. General Secretary P. J. McGuire of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America recently sent out re- quests to all the brotherhoods in the coun- try asking them to forward petitions to President Cleveland for the pardon of E. V. Debs. The matter came up at last night’s meet- ing of Carpenters’ Brotherhood No. 483 on a motion, but it did not carry for the rea- son that the majority of the members were of the opinion that Debs does not want a pardon—that he prefers serving out his sentence to accepting any favors from the present administration. A mass-meeting of union carpentersis to be held at the Turk-street Temple to-night to discuss the advisability of adopting a working-card. There are about union carpenters in the City now. In a iittle while an effort will be made by the carpenters to have the “Chicago agreement’ adopted in tais City. The “%bicngo agreement’’ is the mnmn{ recog- nition of the organizations of both em- ployers and employes. Committees will therefore be soon appointed by the different brotherhoods to make the pro; osition to the Builders’ Association. The feeling between the contractors and the organized carpenters is very amicable at present. Brotherhood No. 483 has increased its membership to such numbers that it finds its present place of meeting, 20 Eddy street, too small and is -fim under the necessity of moving to 2 larger hall. It mucca Jack’*wanted Mrs. Johnson to call to talk over the matter of keeping her mouth shut about Henderson being Sulli- van. An Overturned Lamp Started a Blaze That Nearly Cre- ated a Panic. The Factory Is a Total Loss and Six Other Houses Are Con- siderably Damaged. An overturned lamp in the drying-room of Streckfuss, Apel & Co.’s cigar factory at 1205 Polk street caused a very lively blaze at 5:30 o’clock yesterday morning. The flames spread in all directions, and over half a dozen places were damaged before the firemen got it under control. The cigar factory was located in a one- story frame building owned by John Quinn. It was stored with tobacco leaf and all the things necessary for making cigars and cigarettes. The firemen worked bard, but it was impossible to save the building and it became a total loss. The structure was valued at $500 and the con- tents at $1500. The insurance on the build- ing will cover the loss,but the cigar-makers will lose heavily. From 1205 the fire spread to1203 on one side and 1207 on the other. 1. Frey, a baker, lived in the first and 1207 was un- occupied. About $250 will cover the dam- age to both places. The restaurant at 1209, kept by Rosach & Bozech, was damage $100, and the office of the Weekly Benefit Association of America was gutfed. The loss will be about $300. From Polk street the flames jumped to Mrs. Blohm's lodg- m%-house at 1206 Sutter, and then to Dr. Winterberg’s office at 1208 Sutter. Both piaces were badly scorched, but a couple of hundred dollars will repair the damage. At one time it looked as though the fire was going to spread and develop into a conflagration, but Chief Sullivan’s men worked hard and systematically and soon got the better of the flames. The losses to the people who lived in all the houses will | be considerable, as_their household furni- ture and effects will all be more or less damaged by the water. The little land- mark kept by Rosach & Bozech was gutted and it will be some days before the restau- rant is in running order again. —————— MINES TO BE OPERATED. State Debris Commissioners Issue Per- mits to Placer Mine Owners. A permit to operate the Last Chance mine, near Sierra Valley, Sierra County, was issued to Henry Goering by the State Debris Commissioners yesterday, and one was also allowed to Lugi Lagomacini, who owns the Roomie mine, in the Loganville mining district, Sierra County. The owners of the Homestake mine, near Gold Lake, Sierra County, and the Brown mine, in Sacramento County, were authorized to erect restraining dams upon their claims before commencing opera- tions upon them. Mrs. Worthington’s Third Trial. The tnird trial of Mrs. Louisa Worthington for the killing of Henry Baddeley was begnn yesterday in Department 6 of the Superior Court, before Judge Wallace. Four jurors have been obtained. . e — The Survival of the Fittest.

And nothing could be gentler or sweeter than Kelcey's tone as he gives voice to those biting little undutiful remarks as to parents. The best role in the play is that of Mrs. Cheveley. 8he is an English Forget-Me- Not, an ineffably dainty, well-bred, well- dressed adventuress. She doesn’t smokea cigarette, perhaps, because smoking has become far too respectable; she does not ! gloat, nor make vain threats. Butlike all stage adventuresses she is in love with the man who checkmates her, and she does play upon his sympathy by affecting womanly weakness. Still it's an excellent part, and Miss Annie Irish is equal to it. Just once she offends and challenges un- pardonable comparison with Stephanie de Mohrivart by giving vent to a melodra- matic laugh as she leaves the sec- ond scene triumphant. But Mrs. Cheveley was not intended to be melo- dramatic. She herseli would have been the first to condemn anything so human and natural. Miss Irish speaks the spark- ling, clear-cut epigrams that fall to her with a saucy distinctness and a significance of inflection that make her worthy the part she has to play. Mrs. Walcot has an opportunity as Lady Markby to show that she is an actress of experience, excellent taste and judgment. Miss Irving’s Lady Chiltern is the most satisfactory work she has done here, and if Katherine Florence could forget occa- sionally that she is a very, very lovely young woman she could make Mabel Chiltern a more artistic character. The stage setting last night was un- usually pretty, the ladies’ gowns are beaun- tiful and becoming, and throughout the whole play there is a delicate, sure touch which speaks of capavle, tastefnl stage management. Miriam MICHELSON. Columbia Theater. The Frawley Company made quite a melo- dramatic departure in producing “The En- sign” at the Columbia Theater last night. Hitherto battle, murder and sudden death have been almost strangers to the theater pre- sided over by Messrs. Friedlander & Gottlob, and it was hardly to be expected that the com- puny could rush suddenly into the breach, and eclaim and shout as though it had been doing sensational work all season, but taken alto- gether the Frawley troupe performed the work required of them in “The Ensign” very satis- factorily. The plot of the naval drama is one that to some extent taxes the sudience to follow and there are bald places where the interest de- nds entirely on the individual characters. acklyn Arbuckle, who possesses the precious gift of sinking his own personality in that of the réle he happens to be interpreting, pre- sented a careful study of Cockswain Dudley, the old man-of-war's man. In the court-martial scene Daniel Frawley gave vent to an ebulli- tion of emotion whic] rou{ht him the warm- est applause his personal efforts have yet secured at the Columbia Theater. As arule Frawley errs by overmuch suppression of his feelings, and the result is occasionally flat and unprofitable. Charles W. King was gentlemanly and pol- ished as the English officer, and all the women were to be commended with the exception of Miss Lansing Rowan, who has some idea of act- ing but whose lack of grace and ease make her ;& p'oor substitute for preity, vivacious Blanche ates. Oalifornia Theater, “A Black Sheep” was embellished last night by the introduction of several bright new and dances. Miss Wells’ Trilby dance was the success of the evening. The littlelady looked charming from the crown of her tow- colored wig to the tips of her daint; E!nk toes, and she introduced some skillful high-kickin, into her dance which brought her two we deserved encores. Tivoli Opera-House, The good old tunes of Vincent Wallace’s “Maritana” evidently found a responsive echo in the breasts of the audience at the Tivoli last night. Encores were lavished upon each fa- miliar tune, and even then the people wanted more. Martin Pache made & spirited Don Ceesar de Bazan. His acting had the right amount of recklessness and in his singing he did not show any niggardly desire to spare his voice. Quite the contrary, in fact. His singing of “Let Me Like a Soldier Fall” was ent] astically ap- plauded. John J. Raffrel’s Don Jose was one Of the best characters in the opera, and it goes without saying that his “In Happy Moments’ was a success, - Alice Carle, the new mezzo-soprano, is pos- sesred of a voice, but unfortunately she abuses muaer then uses it. The other women were good. Grand Opera-House. “Under the Lamps,” which was produced last night at Morosco’s, is a romantic drame of the seamy side of New York life. The plot turns on a blind girl being lost in the eity, ‘where her father gsl searching for her, while the villain has her in hiding with Mother Bergman, awaiting the offer of a reward. Finally she is restored to her friends, after be- ing thrown into the river and rescued b Arthur Penwick, both emerging from rea! water looking like drowned rats. Miss Hall plays the blind girl with feeling, and Miss Blanc is good as the old hag, Mother Bergman. James J. Dowling, the man from Arizona, looks his part of & fine athletic coun- tryman. Alice Condon makes an_excellent liitle ragged tough on the streets of New York. Incidentally the play isa skit on the excesses of societies for the prevention of cruelty to children. The scenery as usual is excellent. The Orpheum. Last week’s performers appeared in new acts at the Orpheum last night and in addition the Jordan family made their debut. A net was suspended over the body of the auditor- ium for the accommodation of these aeronauts and the greater safely of the spectators and the roof of the Orpheum had been converted into a complicated system of trapezes, swings and ladders. There are three performers in the Jordan family, a father, mother and young girl. They are all graceful, the mother exceptionally so, and their feats, although fraught with some danger, are very pretty to look at. The audi- ence grew noisily enthusiastic over some of the Jordan acts, perticularly the one where the man and woman suspended heads downward, threw the {)gung girl from one to the other, as if she had been a tennis ball, and they skiliful players practicing volleying. MICAER REFUSED OFCE Appointment as Vaccine Offi- cer Beneath Professional Dignity. Rottanzl to Be Placed--Ed Reddy for Superintendent of the Almshouse. The little difference of opinion between the Governor and the Board of Health, over the failure of the Gubernatorial favorites to secure the fat positions in the gift of the board, has apparently been smoothed over and the ruffled dignity of the chief executive soothed. It took many honied words, however, and Dr. Hart was closeted with the Governor at the office of the Harbor Commission for a considerable portion of the afternoon before the result was obtained. The most offensive action of the board was the complete ignoring of Dr. Mizner. ‘When Dr. Levingston retired from the fight for Health Officer it was understood that he did so with the distinct under- standing that Mizner, his closest friend, was to be provided for, and his appoint- ment as Health Officer or at least as Quar- antine Officer was expected. So far, how- ever, he has received nothing. An at- tempt was made, however, to placate him and his friends even to the extent of creat- ing an office for him. After the Governor and Dr. Hart had consulted for some time, Dr. Mizner was summoned to their presence. An appoint- ment as ‘“Vaccine Officer” was tendered him. The duties of the position were to and the salary was to be $100, $125 or $150 a month, although there had been no such office previously. Dr. Mizner. however, declined the honor. The duties of the position were such as might be performed by any layman, and it was beneath his professional dignity to undertake them. 4 So Mizner will not be placed, Dr. Rottanzi was another who was sum- moned to the conference in the Harbor Commissioners’ office. He was the Gov- | ernor’s choice for police surgeon, but like Dr. Happersburger, he failed to make proper connections. It is said, however, that he will yet be provided for, and Dr. Happersburger is also to be placed, though his future official title is not yet made pub- lic. The Governor spent the morning hours yesterday examining fin.soline engines for a new launch he intends to build. He left for Sacramento via Stockton at 5 o’clock and did not escape his persecutors till the | Sixteenth-street station in Oakland was assed. “Dick” Hammond, McMullen of ‘resno and “Sam” Weller were at the ferry to urge the claims of Jack Hayes for the sugrimendency of the Home for the Adult Blind. Alex Patton of the Iroquois wanted an indorsement for the position of secretary to the next State Committee, and T. G. Eggert, Sconchin Maloney and half a hundred others were also in evi- dence. On the train the Governor was handed a letter from Pat Reddy urging his brother for Superintendent of the Almshouse. The Governor approved the letter and ordered the messenger to present it to the Board of Health. PROTEST AGAINST HENDERSON. Residents Who Do Not Want Him as Oity Cemetery Superintendent. An indignation meeting was held at Coakley’s Hall on Geary street, near Cen- tral avenue, last night to protest against the appointment by the Board of Health of Percy L. Henderson as superintendent of the City Cemetery. The meeting, which was confined to the Twenty-second Senatorial District, was non-political, and was very largely at- tended by both Republicans and Demo- crats. James Bowlan presided, and after stating the object of the meeting a resolu- tion was unanimously adopted addressed to Mayor Sutro as president of the Board of ealth. The resolution protested against the appointment of Henderson,who represented the district in the last Senate, on the ground of his base treachery to the people in voting for the 5-cent fare bill and voting against according terminal facilities to the Valley Railroad. Copies of the resolution were ordered mailed to Mayor Sutro and the Board of Health at once. A PERMANENT AID. Governor Budd Has Asked the War Department to Detail an Army Officer to His Staff. Governor Budd has asked the Secretary of War to permanently assign Captain F. de L. Carrington of the First United States Infantry to the staff of the commander-in- chief of the National Guard of California as special aid-de-camp. The object of the Governor in making this request is that he may have a compe- tent and experienced adviser near him to administer over the affairs of the National Guard. If his request be granted, Captain Carrington will assume the duties of in- spector-general of the National Guard, and will make a thorough inspection of every company, troop, battery and armory in the State. The Governor is desirous that he should have an experienced officer whom he could detail to go about the State making in- spections and instructing officers. What is most desired is to keep a strict eye on the progress made by the guard. By hav- ing such an officer as Captain Carring- ton the Governor hopes to accomplis much inthe administration of National Guard affairs. - Should the assignment of Captain Car- rington be made permanent- he will be attached to the Governor’s staff with head- quarters at Sacramento. Captain_Carrington and the Governor, accompanied by Adjutant-General Ba: rett, wm go to Salinas some time this Week to muster in_the new cavalry troop recently organized there. do the vaccinating of the poorer classes, | CAUGHT IN THE SHAFTING, Walter A. Borlini, a Clerk With Painter & Co., Crushed to Death. AN UNACCOUNTABLE FATALITY. No Explanation as to How He Be- came Entangled in the Ma- chinery Can Be Given. ‘Walter A. Borlini, a clerk in the employ of the J. B. Painter Company, 518 Clay street, came to an awful and sudden death yesterday morning, He started from his home at 726 Valen- cia street at the usual hour and rode to the printing office on his bicycle. He left his machine in the composing-room and started for his own office a few feet away. Shortly after the door closed behind him there was heard a number of thumps and ceveral printers rushed in to see what was the matter. By some means young Bor- lini had got caught in the shafting that works the printing-presses and the thump- ing was caused by his body being dashed against a brick wall as it revolved with the shaft. When the machinery was stopped the remains were horribly mangled. The engine-room 1s at 510 Commercial street and many of the printing-houses on | R Where Walter A. Borlini Met His Death. The cross marks place where the accident occurred. Clay and Commercial are supplied witg power by it. In consequence of the accident all these places had to close dowh until the repairs, which will cost $500, are made. As to how the fatal accident happened nothing is positively known. How Borlini was caught in the shafting and whirled to his death is all a matter of conjecture. A. W. Smith, a printer employed by the Raveley Printing Company, was the near- est to zie young man at the time of the ac- cident. ‘I was working in the composing- room, a few feet away from where the shaft is. I'saw Borlini go out through the door, and a few minutes later I heard the thump- ing. T dropped my stick and, rushing out, saw the boSy whirling around with the shaft. It was so close to me when I opened the door that I had to be careful so as not to be struck by it. When the machinery was stopped all semblance of humanity had been dashed out of the body. “Borlini arrived at the usual hour yester- day morning, and afierbriuging his bicycle upstairs and doing a few odds and ends he started for his own office. How he was caught in the shafting is a mystery, as it is at least eight feet up in the air,and a man with a tall hat on could easily pass under it."” E. M. Adams, manager of Langley’s Directory, the employer of young Bor- lini, is inclined to lay some blame on the Commercial Steam Power Company. “‘I do not understand,” said he, ‘“‘how the young man was caught unless it was through the sagging of the shaft. A wob- bling in the shaft has been noticed for some time back and we were afraid it would loosen the supports from the old brick wall and they would give away. When the young man’s weight was added to the shaft the supports gave away and the flyinf bricks broke half a dozen windows.” I. L. Borden, manager of the power com- Elny, is of the opinion that Borlini forgot is keys and attempting to climb in through the window his clothing caught in the shafting. The deceased’s brother is a paying teller in the American Bank and Trust Company. The two young men and a sister lived at 726 Valencia street. His father kept a big hotel in Virginia ‘City during the days of the Comstock excitement, and later he owned a hotel near the Cliif House. The elder Borlini is now trayeling in Santa Clara Valley and has been notified by tele- graph of his son’s death, THE SILVER CONVENTION. Thirty of San Francisco’s Most Promi- nent Men Appointed as an Execu- tive and Financial Committee. The work of the bimetallic convention committee is proceeding in a most satis- factory manner.
