PINCHED LADIES' CHEEKS, A Crazy Man Causes Consid- erable Excitement on Market Street. He Was Overpowered After a Des- perate Struggle and Taken to the Hospltal. A crazy man, dressed as a laborer, caused considerable excitement on Market street, opposite the Palace Hotel, yesterday after- noon about 4 o’clock. He amused himself by kissing his hand to ladies sitting at the of the hotel, and shouting to window: them “Vive la Siberia.” "This of itself was sufficient to attract attention to him, but when he insulted ladies who were passing him, by pinching their cheeks, it was thought that he was going too far. A zen remonstrated with him and had his face slapped. Captain Rojo of the Mexi Guards was a witness to tne oc- curer and he promptly grappled with the crazy man and threw him down. By this time an immense crowd had gathered. Policemen Middleton and Hay- don forced their way through the crowd and_relieved the gallant captain of his burden. The officers had a bard struggle to overpower the supposed lunatic, who fought desperately to get away from them, and .they had to handcuff his hands be- hund his back. They dragged him to the patrol box on the corner of Montgomery street and rang in for the patrol wagon. While waiting the arrival of the wagon the officers had to keep him backed up against Crocker-Woolworth Bank to restrain hen the wagon arrived he refused to enter it and it required the combined strength of three officers to force him into it. As the wagon started off for the hos- ital he smirked at the ladies in the Palace fotel windows and again shouted *‘Vive la Siberia.” He was more tractable when he reached the- Heceiving Hospital. He gave the name of Marquis Chelovich and said he was an Italian, but it is thought he isa Russian. He could not give any address. He was placed in a padded cell and will be waken befors the Insanity Commissioners this mornin, ATLANTA EXPOSITION. Controversy Relative to Space for Exhibit of California Products. The project of sending an exhibit of Cal- ifornia products to the International Cot- ton Exposition at Atlanta came near be- ing a failure last week, and it was not un- til yesterday that the matter was straightened out. When the director- general of the Atlanta fair urged the State Board of Trade to send on a California ex- the of the and Market streefs. part of California he had withdrawn the space offered in the Agricultural building. Mr. Filcher did not dare to make known to the convention that the free space had been withdrawn, knowing that it wounld be as a wet blanket thrown over the Super- visors. He let the Supervisors go_ahead and decide to send on an exhibit, and when this was accomplished he tele- graphed to Atlanta the action of the con- vention. From then to the present the wires have been kept hot, Mr. Filcher de- manding that the director-general stand by his original offer. Yesterday the matter was settled by a dispatch from Atlanta stating ‘that while the space first offered in the Agricultural building could not be had now, an equally desirable_location will be given free in the main building. Mr. Filcher at once an- swered accepting the offer. The prelim- inary work of arranging the California ex- hibit is progressing satistactorily. ———— BELONG TO THE CITY. Contest Over Improvements on the Lincoln School Prop- erty. Attorneys Arthur Rodgers and Van R. aterson have submitted to the Board of Education an opinion upon the ownership of the buildings now standing upon the Lincoln School property on the corner of Market and Fifth streets. The matter was submitted to them: some time ago, and the conclusion they have arrived at 1s that the City owns the buildings, The property is now held under a lease for twenty years, which will soon expire. When advertising for bids for the lease the Board of Education made the condition that in case of forfeiture of the lease, or the surrender of the lease within twenty years, the lessee should forfeit to the City all improvements upon the premises at the time of the forfeiture or surrender, and that all improvements on the said lots, unless purchased by the City, should be removed at the exrimtion of the term by the owners upon thirty days’ notice bein; given by the Mayor, and if not so remove prior to the expiration of the lease the right should be forfeited, and the owner- ship should vest in the City. This condition, the attorneys think, the board had no power to make the prop- erty made part of the realty must of ne- cessity revert to the land-owner at the ex- piration of the lease. In addition to this, the condition imposed, while mentioned in the advertisement for bids, was not maae part of the lease itself, and, consequently, could not be binding. It is their opinions, therefore, that buildings must revert to the City when the lease expire: MW HATHAMY ESTATE Her Brother Will Make a Strong Fight Against Its Disposition. Charles Barrow Claims That It Was Through Him His Sister Got Her Money. Charles Barrow, one of the brothers of the late Anna Hathaway, who bequeathed nearly all of an estate worth between $60,- 000 ana $75,000 o the First Unitarian Church and members of the congregation, has set out to make a stubborn fight for what he thinks are the rights of himself and his brother and sister. Mr. Barrow, the contestant, claims among other interesting asseverations, that it was through him that the sister and her second husband, Hathaway, made nearly the whole of the fortune of which the former died possessed. The contest is very interesting. Mrs. Hathaway died on or about the 23th of December last, aged 70 years. Ever since her husband’s dea th, which occurred about three years before, she had boarded and lodged by herself. In the language of the contesting brother’s complaint, she be- came interested in religion about a year prior to her death. She was a constant attendant on the services at the First Uni- tarian Church and received much kindly attention from the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Stebbins and several members of the con- gregation. Some time prior to her demise, so the complaint relates, she wasinduced to move from where she had been boarding with old friends for some time, and take rooms 1n & lodging-house on Suter street. After she had become comfortably ensconced in her new quarters she received redoubled attention from her church friends. ‘When she died it was learned she had left her two brothers and one sister $500 each and to her mother the income on $5000, the principal to revert to the di- vorced wife of one of testatrix’s brothers on the death bf the mother, who is over 90 vears old. The rest of the estate was be- ueathed to comparative strangers, among the twenty or thirty legatees being the Rey. Mr. Stebbins $1000, the church of which he is pastor a similar sum, to C. A. Murdock $5000, and to the others sums ranfiing from $100 to $5000. Charles Barrow, who brings the contest, is nearly 70 years of age and was at one time an extensive mine and mill owner in Siskiyou County. The principal ground of his contest is that of undue infiuence. Before bringing the suit he received letters of guardianship from the Probate Court as guardian ad litem of his aged mother. He says that a number of years ago, when he was more prosperous than he now is, he assisted his sister’s husband, Hathaway, and furnished the latter with information whereby he made over $50,000, which at the time constituted the bulk of their for- tune. Itis hisintention to carry the case to the highest courts and make the lega- tees show their right to the estate or com- el them to step aside and let it go to the geiuvnt—lnw. He claims that his sister was easily influenced, and in support of his assertion sets forth that prior to her death her numerous new-found friends were in the habit of going to her for small sums without security—securing them vir- tually as gifts—running all the way from $10 to $200. To this is supplemented the statement that Mrs. Hathaway was persuaded to sell a piece of Eroperty on Sutter street for $20,000, and that sheé received out of that amount only $14,000. And of that $14,000, it is further alleged, she had but a few hun- dred dollars left at the time of her taking off. This is mentioned as having a con- firmatory bearing on the assertion that she gave sums of money to any and all of her friends who might need it and had the nerve to make the demand. E. J. Prindle, who represents C. A. Mur- dock and several of the other legatees, based his demurrer and motion for dismis- sal on the ground that as long asthe mother of the testatrix is alive a brother is not the proper one to bring the contest. The mother has a guardian, who, being satisfied with the income of $5000, did not elect to bring suit. The contestant’s attorneys—W. T. Bag- gett, W. H. Linforth and H.H. McPike— claim that contestant’s apanomnpent as guardian ad litem meets and nullifies the objections of the legatees. The motion for dismissal was hotly contested. POLICE PATROL SERGEANTS, Captain Marshall Inaugurates a System of Lectures and Drills. Captain Marshall, drill instructor of the Police Department, commenced a series of lectures and drill to the patrol police ser- geants yesterday afternoon in the armor; rst Regiment, N. G.

The Progress of the Graders In the First Section Is Satis- factory. Chief Engineer Storey of the San Fran- cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad will return from Stockton to-day and will this afternoon present at a meeting of the board of directors a report of the progress that has been made in this enterprise. Mr. Storey has been in Stockton for sev- eral days examining the work that has been done so far, and what he will have to say will no doubt prove of the utmost in- terest. To start a railroad that will accomplish what the San Joaquin road eventually will is a work that requires a great deal of pre- liminary figuring and preparation of de- tails, so that from the time the first spike is driven until the last railis laid there shall be no unnecessary delay in the work of construction. Considering everything, the difficulties that have presented them- selves in the placing of the company on a safe footing and the obstacles that have been thrown in the way of progress, the advance that has been made by those at the head of the company, whose in- domitable spirit, energy and desire to pro- mote the interests of the State is some- thing to be proud of, is wonderful. What has been done in the past few months is an earnest of what will be done in the future, and everything that can be will be done to push the project ahead. The time will be comparatively short when the shrill whistie of the locomotives of the new line will be heard shrieking through the_great valley of the San Joaquin to notify the inhabitants thereof that the hour of deliverance from the grasp of the gigantic monovoly has come. On the 19th inst. the first grading for the new road was commenced in the city of Stockton on Edison street. along the south bank of Mormon Channel, by Doyle, Thorn- ton,McCarthy and Craven, the contractors, and since then there has been no delay in working toward the eastern limits of the city. On next Monday bids will be opened, and on tlie following day the contract will be awarded for grading from the eastern line to the Stanislaus River, a distance of twenty-three miles. This will be the second division of grading, and it will be commenced within ten days after the contract is let, so that about the 15th of next month the removal of about 200,- 000 cubic yards of earth on the surveyed line wiil be undertaken. While the graders were working on the first d on, rails, ties, fishplatesand bolts were being Jlanded from barges, and they were Dlaceg in great piles near the termi- nus to remain there until drawn from for the purpose of track laying. The only in- terruption anticipated will be in the first division, where in one or two places con- demnation proceedings may have to be instituted to obtain right of ‘way, but this will entail but little delay. Contractor John Worthington of Oak- land, who was awarded the contract for building the trestle across Mormon Channel on the line of Taylor street, will have but thirty days in which to finish the work, with the best material and in the most substantial manner, which is another evidence that there is a desire to push the road to speedy completion. Last Saturday the pioneer locomotives of the new road reached Stockton from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the East. They were placed in charge of J. W. Bollinger of the Baldwin company, who is superintending the men whoare putting them in condition to run on the rails. They are provided with all of the latest improvements. Each weighs sixty - five tons, and each tender when filled will weigh about forty tons, so to carry these mon- sters the roadbed will have to built very solid. A third locomotive is on the way and due aL any moment. These ate guar- anteed as to speed and Chiei Engineer Wilbur stated that they will make the best kind of time. Chief Engineer Storey reached Stockton last Thursday on his tour of inspection and at once proceeded to examine what had been done. He found that the graders were doing the work required of them strictly according to contract; that the progress was satisfactory, and that from present indications the grading of the first section will be finished within the specified time. The stakes along the line of the second division he found in position as far as the Stauislaus River. He also found that the surveyors had been busy cross-section- izing the road and setting out the required side stakes. The rights of way committee has been quite busy since its organization. It has secured about all that was needed and is now settling some matters connected with sites on which to erect stations. In the pursuance of the duties imposed upon it the committee has paid out right of way cluix;s amounting in the aggregate to 3,780, Yesterday Contractor Thornton com- menced the dredging of Mormon Channel to obtain material for filling a portion of the roadbed. Just as soon as sufficient of the roadbed has been graded and is ready to receive the ties and rails the work of track laying will commence and the track- layers will then follow the graders as rapidly as good and substantial work will permit. There are several vessels with rails for the new road on the way to this port and one of these may arrive at any time. HOW STREETS ARE CLEANED, The New York Way of Cleaning off Dust and Dirt. A short time ago President Dohrmann of the Merchants’ Association wrote to Colonel Waring, who has charge of the street-sweeping of New York City,asking many questions as to the working of the New York Department, which is conducted upon the same lines as here. Colonel ‘Waring’s reply is interesting. He say: Some streets are swept even four times, most frequented streets twice and business streets and streets of dense population three times. About 100 miles out of about 365 miles are swept by machines. The streets are swept during the day by hand labor, where traffic renders it impossible to use machines. Their surfaces are smooth and the work must be repeated at short interyals, and where the condition of the pavement is such that a side sweeper could not do efficient work. Also residential streets where the amount to be swept up is unimportant, The more crowded business section is swept by machinery at nl?h!, 2s are some of the avenues, where ma- chine work would be objectionable in the day- time. On all these streets hand-sweeping is done in the daytime. Eight hours constitute & day's work. One sprinkling-cart is used for each two machines. The men who sweep by hand are supplied with watering-cans, which they fill at the hydrants along the streets. They have orders not to sweep without sprinkling. Many other matters of interest were dis- cussed in the letter. s e S R SR A NEW SALMON HATOHERY, One Is to Bo Established in Butte Creck, Shasta County.

Crossed the Continent and Wil Ride Through Japan, China, Asla and Burope. ) Two dusty cyclists crossed the ferry yes- terday morning, and as they rode up Market street attracted considerable at- tention. They were Mr. and Mrs. H. Dar- win Mcllrath of Chicago, who are touring the world on their wheels. Other than being considerably tanned from continued exposure, they are none the worse thus far from their long trip, and told toa CALL re- porter an interesting story of their journey to this City. Mr. Mcllrath is traveling in theinterests of the Chicago Inter Ocean. He has been a newspaper man for many years, and represented his paper at the Paris Exposi- tion and the Chilean rebellion. He is now writing a weekly story of his trip, which he expects will be of several years, dura- tion, as he and his wife are making the journey leisurely, visiting all points of in- terest and enjoying themselves generally. They left Chicago on April 10 last, and have thus far ridden 2995 miles, their actual riding time being fifty-eight days. The balance of the time was spent in sight- seeing. They ride Fowler wheels, fitted with single-tube tires, and were fortunate in having not more than a dozen punctures en route. Mr. Mcllrath is loud in_his praises of the single-tube tire for cycling, as it is easy of repair and gives but little trouble. Merton Duxbury, who recentl: arrived here from a trip across the conti- nent, had several score of punctures on the trip, so that Ar. and Mis. Mcllrath con- sider they have been very fortunate. Mrs. Mcllrath is thoroughly acquainted with the mechanism of wheels and the repair of tires, and attended to that herself. She is a remarkably pretty, petite little woman, weighing little over lofisgounds. and her husband weighs about 150. He lost con- siderable flesh on the trip, while she gained several pounds. They will remain here a fortnight and leave on the steamer China, August 13, for Yokohama, when they will tour Japan and eventually China,” Asia and Europe. Mr. Mclirath has several relatives in this ¢ity, Judge Charles B. Darwin being his uncle. He expressed himself as being de- lighted with California, and wished he could remain here longer. One day last week they thoroughly enjoyed snowballing each other in the Bierra Nevada Mountains in the morning and found themselves eat- ing fruit, with the thermometer at 100, in the afternoon. The local wheeling clubs will show the tourists considerable attention while here. Both are charming conversationalists and take great pleasure in relating incidents of their trip. Yesterday was spent in sight- seeing around town, and a trip through Chinatown will be made some evening this week. Mrs. Mellrath ridesa diamond-| e wheel, in bloomer costume, and is a stron, advocate of this style of dress for whufi women. Note—The wheels used by the McIlraths on their trip around the world are “The Fowler,” for which Davis Brothers, 718 Market street, are agents. ———————— Presbyterian Schools.

At the quarterly meeting of the German Benevolent Association, which will be held this evening, a number of interesting questions will be discussed. Most of the matters pertain to the management of the 34 | German Hospital. Heretofore only Ger- man-speaking persons were admitted to membersbip and it is proposed to admit to membenhig those who do not speak German, and like the present members they shall have all the privileges of the hospital or treatment at their homes by the association’s Cit; ysician. The beard of directors shall have the privilege of rejecting undesirable applicants for membership. If this change is made the special members will not have the privi- lege of voting nor share in the property fl?: 08 | the association, which is reserved for ng.hr members. eretofore the hospital has accepted pay patients not members, who, for fixed charges, have received full treatment for their complaints. Now it is proposed to change the constitution and by-laws so that patients not sent by charitable so- cieties and not members, and who require surgical operations, shall pay for the opera- tions in sums varying from $25 to $75. Half of the fees will go to the surgeons in attendance and half to the hospital fund. If the patient is sent by an outside surgeon the latter may charge what he wishes, and the hospital will receive half of the regular fee. Several other minor changes in the regulations will be discussed. These changes, however, are not likely to go into effect’ unless the other hospitals adopt similar regulations. s e Drachm once meant neither more nor less than a handful.
