14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1895. HUNTINGTON T0 GO FREE The Indictment Against the Railroad Magnate Will Be Dismissed. SENTIMENTS OF THE A. R. U. Collls P. Not Afrald of the Outcome, but Thought it Better to Be Sure Than Sorry. Collis P. Huntington will be & free man at 11 A. ». to-day. After that hour he can come without fear or favor. As he is expected here before the end of the week this means a great deal to the railroad magnate. The indictment inst him found by the United States and Jury are to be dismissed, and no one will be more thank- ful than Collis P. Huntington. He is ac- ss to Attorney Frank . Stone, c for free transportation 1the lines of the Southern Pacific ny. Stone used the pass ff, but no farther, so the er did not come within the purview of the interstate commercelaw. Huntington was afraid of the matter, however, and when he heard that a warrant was out for hisa t postponed an intended trip to Califor: After wa 1g and waiting, until patience virtue, United States District ceased to bea Attorney Foote and United States Marshal Baldwin determined to act. The warrant was sent on to New York and served upon the railroad king. He demurred on the In consequence the raiiroad king nt free, and immediately afterward took leasure trip to Europe. On hisreturn ary T he came to the conclusion f usine: interests demanded a visit to California, but the warrant for his arrest stood in the way. That document was still in the hands of United States Marshal Baldwin, and directly Collis P. Huntington set his foot within the jurisdiction of the north- ern district of California he was to be ar- rested. That was the intention of the Marshal, and his deputies have been on the watch ever since the, news was tele- graphed that Hunington was on the way. All Marshal Baldwin’s plans have been changed, however, and his deputies are no longer on the lookout. Huntington has arranged matters with the Attorney-Gen- eral and the authorities at Washington, and in consequence instructions have been wired here to dism he charges. As soon as the United States District Court opens this morning the District At- arise and move that the indict- nst Collis P. Huntington be Judge Morrow will ask on nds, and the ruling of the New will be quoted. The fact that Stone only used the pass issued by on in the State of California will nd the end will be the dis- he charges. Thursday night or rning Huntington will arrive in Ti San Fra make him a prisoner. Collis P. Huntington is running no and losing no tricks in the game of rail- roads v i With the indictments against him dismissed he can come and go as he pleases and no one can say a_word unless the present’ United States Grand Jury finds a new indictment against him. E A. Knox’s surprise last night was followed by an outburst of indigna- tion when he was informed of the action of the Federal legal department. He said: t is the same old story—one law for the rich d another for the poor. They tried us fel- nder the same law—the interstate com- @ reason is very plain: and we labor. That is all there is to it. The legal machinery of this Government is partial toward a manwho can command capital, and it discriminates against any man who has ability to perform labor to show. 3 Stone had a pass which was good on all the tracks of the Southern Pacific, wherever they ran. He was on his way from this City to Ashland, Or., on his pass, wnen he was stopped at Red Biuff, and he 8o testified. The company used its own discretion as to whether it would keep the interstate commerce law or violate it, for when I, as one of its em- ployes, wanted & pass to Medford, Or., 1 was 2old that 1 could get a pass only fo the State line, and that 1would have 10 Day my own fare for the rest of the way. | are any number of people who d on passes issued by the Southern ic, and, 5o far as they were concerned, the state law was practically a dead letter. This is a notorious fact, which even the scribblers under the pay of that corporation e represents capital The District Attorney’s office here so juggled with this indictment matter that no better re- gult might have been expected. The first in- dictment was all right, but a cat could be thrown through the second. Now, why does the District Attorney, representing, as he was supposed to do, the people of the United States, work this indictment matter in this way ?_Is it not as plain as the nose on & man’s face that the financial superiority of Huntington was the thing which turned the scales of justice ? 1 do not say, mind you, that any of his money was used, but it was the recognition_of his standing in the business world and his possession of money that warped the mind of the prosecuting officers of the Government—a sort of toadyism to capital that is very common c officers. sfied, however, that before the bar opinion Huntington has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. An Ihegubnc. too, know full well that l‘l[fi- 1al has advantages under our judicial system which the people will sooner or later be called upon to rectify. The American Railway Union will have an indignation meeting soon—probably at Metro- politan Temple this coming Saturday night—to express its sentiments respecting Colonel Gra- ham’s action in the soldiers’ monument mat- ter, and we will then consider the quashing of the indictments against C. P. Huntington. Huntington is now on his way to the coast ana it would be well to let him have a piece of our mind if we cannot get any other kind of just- ice. President Marlatt and Mr. Crandall are now making arrangements for the indignation meeting. An open meeting will be held by the American Railway Union to-night and the action of the Department of Justice will be then incidentally discussed. HALF-INTEREST SWINDLE. Gus Strand and T. W. Scott Are Not Yet Quite Out of the Woods. Fred Cruise, Gus Strand and T. W. Scott were arrested last June on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. The complaining witness was J. E. Carr, a re- cent arrival from Chicago. He purchased from them on May 24 for $200 a half-inter- est in a saloon at 213 Tenth street, which they said they owned. Carr alleged that they had no interest in the saloon except the liquor in the bottles, as a bill of sale had been given for everything else. The cases were heard by Judge Camp- bell. He held Cruise to answer before the Superior Court, but dismissed the cases against Strand and Scott. Carr sent a communication to the Grand Jury relating the facts, and stated that he had secured more evidence against Strand end Scott. The Grand Jury sent it to Dis- d go in the State of California | i that no offense was proved, and | stern Judges took that view of the l that his business | cisco and will wave a_graceful | how-do-vou-do to the men who hoped to trict Attorney Barnes with instructions to rocure warrants from another Police Foun for the arrest of Strand and Scott on the charge of grand larceny. Warrants were sworn out in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday, and last night Strand was arrested by Detectives Dilion and Crockett and locked ug in the City Prison.’ Scott has not yet been ar- rested. CIGAR-MAKERS ANGRY. Burns Addresses Another Meeting at the Corner of Third and Market Streets. The recent arrest of T. F. Burns, presi- dent of the ' Cigar-makers’ Union, while conducting an open-air meeting at the corner of Third and Market streets,on a charge of obstructing the streets, has stirred the labor element to a high pitch of excitement, and a programme has been | made np which is intended to thoroughly | test the law on this point. 285 The charge against Burns was dismissed, presumably for the reason that there was nothing against him un which to build a | prosecution, and now a question arises as | to the legality of the arrest. It is this point that the cigar-makers propose to test, to effect which a series of street meet- ings have been arranged. Last evening, at the corner of Third and Market streets, Burns repeated the ad- dress which led to his arrest some days | since, before a large crowd. He urged upen his hearers the patronage of the home cigar industry, and explained the round upon which competition with New York and Pennsylvania is waged. The gathering was orderly in every re- spect, and the speaker concluded without molestation from any source. “The police have no right to stop these meetings,’”’ said Burns after his hearers had dispersed. ““The best proof of this is found in the fact that the case was dis- missed. If they had a case why did they not prosecute? Thejfailure 1o do so is clearly an admission of the illegality of the | arrest. My meetings are not disorderly, and until I have it shown me that I am acting in violation of law I shall continue them.” FINCH UBPHANEG[_ AIDED, Benefit at the Howard-Street Methodist Church Last Evening. Miss Flynn, Miss Tibby, Miss Noble and J. E. Owens Gave Their Services. The benefit for the Fred Finch Orphan- age, given at the Howard-street Methodist Church last evening, drew a good audience. | The programme was a choice one and each performer received a hearty encore. The institution is well known, and al- | though under the control of the Methodist church, is not sectarian in its methods or | requirements. Any needy orphan is elig- ible to a place in it, no matter what was | the faith of his parents. It was founded ive years ago by Captain Finch as a memo- i rial 'to his -departed son, and whose | name it now bears. Since that time it has | had 125 children in its charge. It is sup- orted by the *free-will offerings” of the Methodist churches of California.

At the time of the | founding of the institution Dr. Bentley | was presiding elder of the Oakland dis- | trict. I.J.Truman is the treasurer and | Dr. W. W. Case, pastor of the Howard- | street Methodist Church, one of the vice- presidents. |~ The programme incladed two organ so- | los, “Grand Offertoire de St. Cecile” and a | march from “Tannhauser” by Mr. Martin | Schultz, who was also the accompanist. | The Late Fred Finch, for Whom the Orphanage Was Named. [From a photograph by J. V. Yantis.} Miss Millie Flynn sang “Nona’ and “In Seville’s Groves,” Miss Sadie Tibby gave two whistling solos, “Spanish Serenade’ and “The Last Rose of Summer.” “My Dream,” *“Without Thee” and ‘‘Reminis- cence’” were tenor solos by J. E. Owens. Miss Pearl Noble gave a cornet solo, ‘“IThe Exile’s Lament,” responding to an encore with a_medley of airs. Misses Pearl and Maud Noble rendered “I Feel Thy Angel Spirit” as a trombone and cornet duet, and when recalled gave a selection from +‘Il Trovatore.” Miss Ethel Macom- ber, a graduate of the San Francisco School of Oratory, made her first public appearance, and pleased her audience by her rendition of “‘Ladybird’s Race.”” “The Fall of Pemberton’s Mill” and “Old Pick- ett’s Nell.” At the conclusion of the programme Dr. Case spoke briefly of the merits of the in- stitution, referred to the generous patron- age of the concert by business men inter- ested in the cause represented, to Mrs. Louthan’s sale of 200 tickets, and closed by thanking the performers for their gra- tuitous_and kindly services. The receipts approximated $150. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Rval Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY_ PURE DAMAGE BY EAPLOSIONS, Blasting for a Sewer Unset'tles a Foundation on Tele- graph Hill. WITHOUT WARRANT OF LAW. Danlel O’Connor, the Contractor, Is Charged With Destroying Mrs. Cazneau’s Property. The house of Mrs. Ercerlia Cazneau, on Telegraph Hill at the corner of Edith and Dupont streets, hangs in precarious equi- librium over a cliff fifteen feet high. It was placed in this dangerous position by the effect of blasts set off by workmen in the main sewer under Edith street. Already the floor of the kitchen has fallen out, taking everything with it into the street below, chimney, stove, cooking utensils ‘and all, leaving nothing but a bird’s-eye view of the street where once was the solid floor. Every room in the house is lined with inch cracks, which extend from floor to ceiling. Already the walls have settled so increased values. Murphy, Grant & Co. refused to pay the amount, and the matter is now in dispute. Appraiser Tucker thinks the Government is in the right, so the people who wear ‘‘lustre goods” will }m;g to’ pay higher prices for their dress abrics. HASTINGS LAW COLLEGE. The Ex-Professor Says He Never Did Agree to Give Up All Other Business. Judge McKinstry has little more to say in regard to his removal from the head professorship in the Hastings College of the Law. When seen in relation to the re- marks of Judge Hayne, one of the trustees, published in yesterday’s CALL, he said that he acknowledged having received both the communications from the board of trus- tees, as stated. The first one, that of Au- gust 8, 1893, being only in the nature of an expression of the sense of a meeting, he did not consider required any reply. To the one of more recent date, inclosing a copy of the first communication, he did not” reply because he had never been a party to an agreement stating or implying that he should give his whole time to the law school. “I certainly never did understand,” he said, ‘‘at the time I accepted the position that I was to give up entirely all other business. The first intimation I had was several years after my appointment.” It was in 1888 that Jngge McKinstry ac- cepted the position from which he has just been displaced, but it was five years after that when the board expressed it as the sense of the meeting that the senior pro- REPUBLICANS INHARMONY Clean Politics Commended by the County Commit- tee. TWO VACANCIES DECLARED. The Committee Holds That It Should Be Consulted In Organizing the Election Commissioners. ‘When Chairman C. W. Manwaring called the Republican County Committee to order in Shield’s Hall last night, it was for the purpose of renewing the already estab- !ished clean political conduct of the organ- ization, and it was also evident that the friends and co-workers of John D. #preckels had complete control of the meeting, which, to a great extent, was the cause of its har- mony. The members of the committee were there for the purpose of laying down and completing a plain and simple course of Republican respectability regardless of the consequences, and this was especially noticeable as a predominent trait among Mr. Spreckels’ forces. There were none of those individual revolts which have so frequently occurred in this City, but the temper of the entire meeting was satis- factory and peaceful from the moment the gavel dropped to the motion to adjourn. After the reading of the minutes by Secretary Jackson, a resolution was offered by J. M."Chretien, deciaring the positions of county committeemen from the Twenty- ninth and the Forty-first precincts vacant, both on the ground of non-residence of the committeeman holding the offices. Frank McMannus represented the Twenty-ninth and Leon Dennery the Forty-first. While the resolution offered by Mr. Chretien was being stated by the chair, Mr. McMannus in a very courteous way tendered his written resignation, but Mr. Dennery obliected very strongly to having his seat declared vacant. At this juncture the chairmun took occasion to compliment THE WIDOW CAZNEAU’S HOME AT EDITH AND DUPONT STREETS. [From a sketch made by a “Call” artist.] far from the perpendicular that between the top of the folding-door and the jamb a space of five inches intervenes. The entire house is prevented from fall- ing bodily into the street by four meager supports. Mrs. Cazneau, a widow who provides for herself and six children by sewing and taking boarders, related a mournful tale delays. “Puring the middle of July,” said she, “workmen under Daniel 0'Connor, con- tractor, began blasting in Edith street. The street is very narrow, and the blasts were fired only five feet from the house. Seven or eight blasts were exploded daily. ‘“Monday, the 224, the bottom of my kitchen fell out. Mr. O'Connor paid me 35 to get it repaired. After that the house began settling down, and I wasin con- tinual fear of its falling over. Mr. O’Con- nor then fixed up the props and flatly re- fused to do anything more, but said he would take down the propsif I did not have my house repaired soon ‘and dared me to sue him. “I found that Daniel O’Connor had per- formed the work on the sewer without a license. I then estimated my loss and de- termined $1000 as the lowest figure. I petitioned the Board of Superyisors to withhold the assessment from Mr. O’Con- nor until I received my damages. The board acted on the petition August 5 and directed that a committee find by what right O’Connor had violated the law by blasting without authority and.to see that my dweiling was put in good order at his expense. But nothing came of this. Only after repeated visits to Thomas Ashworth, Superintendent of Streets, who put me off again and again, was a carpenter sent to estimate the damage. . “The Supervisors will not meet again until September. I have heard the con- tractor will be favored, and in the mean- while I must give up my boarders, on whom my living greatly depends, and suf- fer anxieties and inconveniences.” HIS GUARDIAN APPOINTED. Youthful “‘Captain Johnson,”” Mrs, Coon’s Ward, Sent to the Chil- dren’s Glen Ellen Home. James Elmer Johnson, the seven-year- old boy whose guardianship has been a matter of court dispute for some time, was yesterday committed to the Home for Feeble-minded Children at Glen Ellen, and General John McComb of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children was ap- pointed his guardian. The boy has remained, almost from the time of his birth, under the care of Mrs. Susan W. Coon. The latter applied to be appointed pguardian and an apglicatkm was also made by General McComb. “What is your name, my boy?”’ Judge Coffey asked of the little fellow yester- day, attempting to obtair some testimony upon the matter of treatment in the Coon household. “Captain Johnson,” the youth answered, making a dive for some document that at- tmcwdghis attention on the Judge's desk. “But your first name ?’* “Captain Johnson.” ““What do they call you at home?” “Captain Johnson."” However the Judge might put the ques- tion the boy remained Captain Johnson. ALPACAS WILL BE COSTLY. The Duty Will Be Raised on All Lustre Goods. g Local importers of alpacas and mohair and the appraisers are at outs. The latter want duty on the goods at the value they represented when shipped and the former want them valued at the rate at which they were purchased. Murphy, Grant & Co., purchased a large consignment of the goods in question sev- eral months ago, but they were not shipped until last July. In the meantime the prices of alpacas and mohairs had ad- vanced 68 to 75 per cent in values, and act- ing under instructions from Washington Appraiser Tucker demanded duty oa the of the insolence of office and thelaw’s | fessor should devote his whole time to the duties of the college. George Whittield Lane of the law firm of Lane & Lane and Warren Gregory of the firm of Chickering, Thomas & Gregory will probably be selected as the two teachers granted to Judge Slack to assist him in the conduct of the college. This inference |isdrawn from the fact that the directors have signified their intention of abiding by the judgment of Judge Slack in the selection of the two additional teachers, and it is understood Judge Slack has ex- pressed himself as favoring the gentlemen named. The probability that Messrs. Lane and Gregory would be the choice of Judge Slack and "their qualifications were dis- cussed last evening at the University Club by students and others interested in the college, when it was the opinion that their selection would give general satisfaction. CAPPERS AND GRAFTERS, The Police Taking Steps to -Put. a Stop to Their Business. Three Men Arrested for Vagrancy and Three for Obstructing the Corridor. The arrest of W. N. Wasserwitz on Monday for vagrancy at the instigation of Prosecnting Attorney Mogan of Judge Conlan’s court for having asserted that he could *square’’ any case in the court by | giving Mogan a dollar or two has stirred up the Polite Department to the necessity of keeping the corridor clear of all persons suspected of being ‘‘cappers” or “‘grafters.” Yesterday morning Policeman A. H. ‘Wagner was detailed for duty in the cor- ridor and in a very short time he made six arrests, The men arrested were Albert Friedlander, clerk; James McCaffrey, no occupation; Thomas Moran, shoemaker— who were charged with vagrancy; William Tannian, barkeeper; William Keleher, laborer; and John Powers, plasterer—who were charged with violating order 2750 of the Board of Superyisors. The order referred to, which wasadopted, on March 26, 1894, reads as follows: Section 1. From and ater the passage of this order it shall be unlawful for persons to con- gregate in the halls and corridors or doorways of the new City Hall building or around the doors of any courtroom or office in said build- ing in such’ a manner as to obstruct the free use of said doors, halls and corridors by per- sons having business in the courts or offices of said building, or to use loud, boisterous or vul- §ur language in said halls and corridors or oorways, or pehave in any manner calculated to inconvenience or annoy any person visiting the new cnf Hall for business or other pnr- poses; provided, however, that the provisions of this oxder shall not apply to persons com- pelled tostand in line awaiting their turn to pay taxes or to persons making statements re. quired by law to the Assessor. Sec. 2. Any person violating the provisions of this order, upon conviction, ahal? be pun- ished by a fine not to exceed $50 or by impris- onment not to exceed ten days. It was specially aimed at the men who make it a practice to approach persons havinf business in the Police Courts or any of the departments, and by represent- ing themselves as having a “‘pull” with those in authority, obtain money from them. They have even gone so far as to surreptitiously obtain blank forms, fill them up, forge the signature of a Judge or ?ther person in authority, and charge the ee. b Their particular prey are friends of prisoners in the City irisan. who, as a rule, are only too willing to part with a few dollars if it can help the prisoner in any way. THE CALL recently exposed the methods used, and it is expected that the action of the police will hava the effect of putting a stop to it. —————— P. L. Simmonds, the English entomol- ogist, says that there are flv% movenin:gtl than of all other living creatures, Mr. McMannus on. the readiness with which he accepted and seemed to under- stand the situation, and on the other hand criticized Mr. Dennery for not displaying the same readiness to comply with a prop- osition so evidently just. A vote was then taken upon the question of the Forty-first District and the resolu- tion declaring Mr. Dennery’s seat vacant was passed. Objection was offered by James Alva Watt and Jesse Marks, bat they were ruled out of order by the chair. Mr. Watt took occasion to call the County Committee’s attention to the resolution passed by the municipal convention, which called the County Committee into exist- ence and which stated that all vacancies should be filled by the chairman of the County Committee. This point was ruled in order by Acting Chairman Chrentien, but the regalar chairman, Mr. Manwaring, stated that he deemed the question of filling the two vacancies sufficiently important to take a little time in considering, and as the good of the party was at stake he decided to suspend appointments until some furure day or when he had selected the most capable and most efficient committeemen. I will take care in the future,” he said, “‘to see that none but actual residents in a district are appointed on the committee. There is no time like the present to get this thing straightened out, and I would not like to have my jundgment impaired by haste. “We are all trying to conduct a clean local party and to that end the County Committee is willing to work witk as much harmony as possible. Both Mr. Spreckels, who has taken a most unusual personal in- terest in clean politics, and ourselves are anxious to see an election held in this City where the ballot-box will be held sacred and above the profaning influences of de- signing and unscrupulous politicians, who simply consider that the indiscriminate herding of negotiable votes constitutes the maintenance of a party. It isabouttime such ideas are cast aside, and it is a good idea for the County Committee to set the example. *I was,” said Chairman Manwaring, in speaking with County Clerk Curry and A. J. Martin after the meeting had adjourned, “quite pleased with to-night’s session. It showed that the members have a pretty good understanding of what is re- uired of us in this fight and what ?he voters expect of us in the matter of keeping the party on a clean basis. We have started out. well, and have happily been able to avoid those broils and wran- gles so common to politics in San Fran- cisco. That element that has always tried to prevail in committee meetings will not find room with us, and we will lay down the law at once on that point.” Touching upon the matter of the ap- ointment of an assistant secretary to the lection Commission Mr. Manwaring said : “If the State Committee by law had a right to apooint Election Commissioners of this county we believe that the right should bave been delegated to the County Committee in place of the State Central Committee, because the County Committee is the governing body of the party for the City and County for “which the Commissioners legislats, whereas the State Central Committee has charge of the campaign throughout the State without reference to San Francisco, Los Angeles or any other one county, and as the State Central Committee, the Union League Club and the Commissioners have not been able to decide upon the Repub- lican officials of that boarcfthe Republican County Committee considers that it should be consulted in regard to the position. We elect the delegates to the State Convention, which elects the delegates to the State com- mittee. As a matter of fact we are the best equipped body to deal with that ques- tion, as the affairs of the party in our sep- arate counties are practically before us at all times and we are able to act with rea- sonable caution and discrimination in all matters that concern our party and this section. 4 “Itis true that we have no particular choice so long as the appointee is a good, clean Republican one, who will see to it that after our votes enter the bal- lot-box they will be counted fairly and squarely. 1t makes no material difference who the manisso long as he can stand the examination as to his capacity to come rizht up to the front at the critical period and remain stanch and honorable to the Republican party. That must be his record above all things, and I am under the impression that in a short time we will have a clean party and good men at the back of it.” For the Conclave. On Monday afternoon Oakland Commandery Knights Templar will leave that city for Bos- ton to attend the conclave of Knights. They will go ona vestibule train of the Union Pa- cific, will remain a day atSalt Lake, will re- main five hours at Niagara and then proceed to the metropolis of Massachusetts. On Sunday two trains of the Central Pacific will carry away Knights, and on the following day one train will carry away the remainder, all bound for Boston. ———————— A Wayward Girl.

An Outrage on Citizens to Injure the Gift for the Affillated Colleges. It appears now that there was an ulterior reason in the high-handed action of the Market-street company in robbing the residents and property-owners immedi- ately south of Golden Gate Parkof their streetcar facilities. Closer inspection of the outrage has disclosed the joker. 1t is this: The Southern Pacific Company is op- posed to the location of the Affiliated Col- leges on the site offered as a gift by Adol{)h Sutro, as the Southern Pacific is usually opposed to every movement that is for the good of the public.and of no particular ad- vantage to itself. And to render the site less available for' such gurposes the right hand of the Southern Pacific Company— that is to say, the Market-street company —has robbed the site of its transportation facilities. Of course, in doing this several hundred residents and property-owners of the district, many of them workingmen, who built their homes there expecting a continuance and even an increase of the streetcar service, are put to a great deal of extra trouble and expense, and property values in the vicinity made to suffer con- siderably. But the Southern Pacific cares nothing for this. They have deliberately abandoned a franchise which was given b’ the people in order to render as unavail- able as possible, in the e{osofi the commit- tee, the selection of a splendid site for the Affiliated Colleges, because that_site is not approved by a railroad corporation. This is all a part of the long-threatened boycott agamst Mr. Sutro, it would appear, for it is difficult to ascribe any other mo- tives to the company for its opposition to so favorable a site for the Atfiliated Col- leges. The twenty-six acres of land that Mr. Sutro has offered the regentsof the uni- versity for this purpose is less than one block from the abandoned electric line. That this site is now entirely cut off from any convenient streetcar service is ex- pected to be a convincing argument to those who will oppose the acceptance of Mayor Sutro’s gift when the committee of regents that is to decide the choice of sites comes to formally consider the matter. Itis an open secret that railroad influ- ences will be cast against the Sutro site. “I have heard that the Southern Pacific is opposed to the acceptance of the ground offered by Mayor Sutro,” said F. B. Back- ett yesterday. ‘I favor the site myself for various reasons, that have already been given, and [ am very sorry that its street- car facilities have been cut off. Still, I do not think that will be a sufficient reason to reject the gift. Ishall certainly urge its acceptance in spite of that temporary disadvantage.” The committee will meet again to-mor- row, when it is thought that one of the sites offered will be accepted. There is a current belief, however, that it will be a most interesting session, in which the fall- ing of somethiug may very possibly be dis- tinctly heard. ———————— Fugazzi to Remain. At a special meeting of the Local Passenger Association held yesterday the retirement of J. F. Fugazzi, an agent of the Union Pacifie, was discussed. It was finally decided that he should remain in the association, but he will not be permitted to cut rates on the railway lines. He may, however, cut rates on the steamship lines that have a terminus on the Mediterranean as much as he pleases.
