THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1895 THEY CALL 1T BEAUTIFUL. Some of the Encomiums Show- ered Upon the New “Call” Building. EVERYBODY IS PRAISING IT.] All: Agree Upon Its Architectural Beauty. and Its Imposing Appearance. ‘Evérybody is talking about it, everybody likes it and praises it, and wants to know how long it will take to finish it; crowds gather in front of the business office on i Market street to discuss and admire the - big, colored lithograph of it that hangsin the window, and this one sentiment runs through all the opinions expressed about it—that TrE CArL's new bome will be the most beautiful of modern buildings. Everybody upon viewing the plans for the first time is at once struck with the rare architectural be: ymmetry of the tall structure. I reat height of the building does not ove pleasure that its har sess. for the eyes. architects could hear some of the compliments bestowed upon their work by the passing throng that stops mpse at the picture of the build: dow of THE CALL office, it i le to imagine that their heads mi 1 building—that is t. After that, it is , costly, a pride to a monument to the good and enterprise of its owner and Spreckels, the greatest news- in the world, the hand- all buildings, the tallest of all ings west of Chicago—all these 10t be seen from even the colored pic- tures of it. To realize the full splendor of the great building before it has been erected, one must consider that the first three stories, which form the base of the great tower, will be finished in rough, gray granite, and that all the remainder of the walls will be of polished white marble. Of course, the next point that every one comments upon is its great height. It would be a giant even for Chicago. Its310 feet is fully equal to a twenty-story build- d twenty-story buildings are not iful even in Chicago. For San Fran- o such a towering structure is a veri- table- giant of giants. The very hignest point of the Chronicle building tower is 200 feet, while the building proper is about 160 feet in height. When the visitor sits at dinner or luncheon in the great restau- under the dome of the new CaLyn building he will be 226 feet above the level of Market street and may look down upon the roofs of such tall buildings as the Crocker and the Mills corners from a dis- tance of about seventy feet above them. Truly it is not without some reason that people are struck by the great height of the new CaryL building, as well as by its rare beauty. Somie of the complimentary remarks be- stowed. upon ‘the big building—or, more properly, upon the plans for it—have been set- down here. The number of them might be multiplied indefinitely, but these will serve to show the tenor of them all: GAVIN McNAB—San Francisco will be proud of such a beautiful architectural nionument. It will stand right at the gateway of the City, too, on the corner cnosen for it, and cannot fail to impress the visitor with the majesty and magnifi- cence of our architectural attainments. F. W..SUMNER—It will undoubtedly be the most beautiful of all the tall build- ings. : Tt will be a lasting monumentto the whole Pacific Coast. ‘W. W. FOOTE—A magnificent building, that will be, I don’t think itis at all ex- travagant to say that it will be the very handsomest.of all the tall structures. CONGRESSMAN JAMES G. MA- GUIRE—When those plans are carried out and the big sky-scraper completed THE Carr will be more magnificently housed than any other newspaper in the world, I believe, and San Francisco will have a building that she will be proud of for all | time to come. E. DE KAY TOWNSEND—It will bea magnificent structure. It will certainiy have no equal on this coast, and I doubt if | there is any modern business block in the world that will surpass it in grandeur and architectural beauty. ALFRED BOUVIER—The new CaLn building will be a stunner—there’s no dif- ference of ‘opinion on that point. Every- body must admire its architectural beau- ties. d. ROSS.JACKSON—That’s going to be a sky-scraper that San Francisco will be everlastingly proud of. It will be a sym- metrical and beautiful structure if the plans are carried out. v GEORGE RAPHAEL—A magnificent building.. ‘I know of no modern structure that is as beautiful as the new Cavry build- | ing promises to be. Jo TAYLOR RODGERS—I judge from the plans and pictures that the new Carw building will be a very handsome and im- posing affair. It will be a prond monu- ment for its owner, Mr. Spreckels, and an ornament to the whole State of California. J.-E. WHITTIER—The prettiest build- ing in the world, and no mistake. I've seen a-few buildings, but none so pleasing to the eye; none so splendid and imposing as'THE CALL building promises to be. GEORGE K. FITCH—I have been most favorably impressed with the symmetrical otitlines of ‘the néw CALL building, as shownin the illustrations. It will bea splendid ornament to San Francisco. I am very ‘much ‘pleased that THE CaLL is going to.-be housed in such an imposing and fitting structure. C. D.BY 'ER—It will be a most grati- fying- ‘testimonial to the architecture of Ban }‘ran:cismkan imposing and beautiful ing and a great credit to the entire b S McCOMB — It is a peculiarly .r,hf_n?t‘E And beautiful design for such a building, T think. It will certainly be a great ornament to San Francisco and make home for TrE CarLL. - EO‘RGE T. GADEN—This will be 8Ban - Francisco’s first real sky-scraper and the “-handsomest one in the world, I believe. :CHIEF OF POLICE CROWLEY—THE - CALL’S new building will be a beauty and a. ky-scraper at that. It will be so tall, however, that it will be tough on the man " . who runs the restaurant in the dome. His patrons will be 8o hungry with the ride up . the elevators, Iimagine, that they will eat ~him out of home. GARRET McENERNEY—Tt will be a . beautiful building if the plans are carried out, and San Francisco will have every “ reason to be immensely proud of it. -J. WOOLL—From the pictureand the | Bail description I must say that it will be a magnificent building. DISTRICT ATTORNEY BARNES—A splendid building, a beauty architecturally and an imposing structure that will be a rare ornament to the City. I don’tbelieve that any of the tall buildings in the East are as handsome as the new CavrL building promises to be. J. M. REYNOLDS—I think Mr. Spreck- els deserves great credit for giving San Francisco such a beautiful business block. 1t will be sure to favorably impress all strangers when they enter our City. It | will be a splendid building, if one can judge from the plans. GEORGE D. CLARK—It beats all the tall buildings I have ever seen in the point of architectural beauty. It will be impos- ing, besides, and a splendid ornament to the City. San Francisco will always be proud of THE CALL building. GEORGE W. MONTEITH—A magnifi- cent building, grander in outline and more beautiful in its ornamentation than any of the tall buildingsin the world. It will add greatly to San Francisco’s fame the world over. W. H. QUITZOW—TrE CALL'S new building will be a magnificent ornament. It will also be an everlasting credit to the 'enterprise and good taste of the man whose money and brains is responsible for its erection—Claus Spreckels. J. W. McKENZIE JR.—It will be mag- nificent, grand—the greatest of modern buildings. D. T. WILLIAMS—It is out of sight. PRESIDENT E. D. MARLATT of the American Railway Union—Thatismy sen- timent exactly; it is out of sight. MANAGER GUY LATHROP of the Na- tional Labor Bureau, named by the build- ing trades at the Turk-street Temple—It is a good thing for the City. Money invested in buildings here means that much more demand for labor. R. E. COLE of tne South Side Improve- ment Club—It will be a good thing for the south side, I suppose, as it may give an impetus to building in this direction. CON.VIRGINI S TROUBLES Saturday’s Meeting Roused the Ire of Some of the Shareholders. What Took Place Behind the Closed Doors Is Exposed by One of Them. The meeting of directors of the Consoli- dated California and Virginia Mining Company held Saturday afternoon for the purpose of investigating charges made by Edward S. Spring, a large stockholder, against Superintendent Lyman, has de- veloped an open conflict in the board, and the corporation will have to settle its diffi- culties in court. Accoraing to Mr. Spring his charges were made in a letter to the president, Charles H. Fish. They set forth that the superintendent had needlessly expended large sums of money in the mine and had otherwise shown himself to be incompe- tent, and not a proper person to manage the mine—at least in the interest of share- holders. President Fish was asked to call a meeting of the board of directors, and officially notified Spring last Wednesday that a meeting had been called for that purpose for Saturday. The president’s reply stated that ‘“Mr. Lyman has requested the board to exam- ine his accounts with the brokers, who have been authorized by him to freely ex- hibit his accounts with them.” Meantime an effort was made by Fish and_Secretary A. W. Havens to induce Soring to settle the matter without an in- vestigation by the directors, but Spring refused to do so. To his surprise Sprin found the doors closed against him an fully fifty other shareholders atthe meet- ing, but at the request of a very large owner of the mine he was admittez{. Attorneys George R. Wells, W. E. F. Deal and Ed Tauszky represented Lyman. Wells was also present as a director of the company. After the complaint was read Spring asked Fish if he had called a meeting of the board to take action on it. “I called no meeing,’’ was the answer, “but after seeing Mr. Zadif and Mr. Mes- ser Isent a copy of your letter to the su- perintendent.” He could not produce a copy of the letter that accompanied the charges to Lyman. Smith next asked Lyman for an exhibit of his_stock transactions with his (Lyman’s) brokers in accordance with the statement made in President Fish's letter.” Attorney Deal laid upon the table some documents, stating they included Lyman’s accounts with Zadig & Co., Joseph Marks and the Virginia City agency of the Nevada Bank, but refused, as Lyman’s counsel, to let them be read at the meeting. ‘‘They are for the directors only,” he said. Half an hour was spent in arguing the point with- out any result, Fish ruling repeatedly against Spring’s requests. 3 4 Spring succeeded in examining Superin- tendent Lyman as to his management of the mine since April 1, 1894, and elicited admissions that the celebrated fire in the mine was a myth, that he had gone through the burned district without find- ing evidence of gas or fire and had not re- ported the fact to the stockholders in his sworn statement. Spring was granted thirty days in which to produce evidence from Virginia City and elsewhere in sub- stantiation of his charges. e e Erecrricrty in the home means light, heat and power always at command, and cleanliness, comfort and convenience at all times. The most recent inventions in the application of electricity have been in the direction of domestic requirements. An essential to the use of electricity in any form is the running of wires to whatever point current is needed. Now, a house, whether new or old, can be wired without disfiguring the walls in any way and with- out disturbing the family. When once the wires are in place the matter of connection is a trifle. Light or heat can be had anywhere from attic to basement, in kitchen or parlor, in_dining- room or boudoir. The mere turning of a switch will keep the chafing-dish hot or set the after-dinner coffee boiling on the table. In the bedroom the curling iron need never get cold, and all the ironing can be done in the laundry with an iron which carries its heat with it at all times— no waiting fqr the iron to get hot and no fear of burning the linen. In the kitchen every utensil can be heated, be it “spider,” oven, roaster, broiler, stewpan or kettle, and in the parlor an atmospheric heater with its electric current will spread its genial warmth throughout the room. The Edison Light and Power Company, which furnishes the City with its electric light and the wholesale and retail sections with power for all kinds of manufacturing and motive purposes, also furnishes now every necessity for the full equipment of the home with electric apparatus of the kind here referred to and in much greater variety than there is here space to de- scribe. Max Muller 1nsists that the oldest book in the world is the Rig Veda, which was in existene, complete as we have it now, 1500 years before Christ, and not the so- ullex’ “Book of the Dead” from Egypt, consisting of disjointed fragments, col- lected from mang sources, the earliest of which may possibly be dated as early as 6000 B. C. From London to Aberdeen, a distancefof 504 miles, is now covered in eleven hours by a train of the London and Northwestern ilway. WHEELMEN'S ROAD RACES Olympic and Imperial Clubs’ Five-Mile Events at San Mateo. R. IRONES AND B. LYONS WON. Walter Foster and Frank Byrne Make Best Time—Several Accldents. There have been a great many road races held by the wheeling clubs in this vicinity during the past three months, but none have proved such drawing cards as the two five-mile events run off yesterday after- noon by the Olympic Club Wheelmen and the Imperial Cycling Club over the straight- away stretch from San Mateo to San Car- los. 3 Every wheeling club for miles around was represented, including all the San Francisco clubs, the Reliance and Acme of Oakland, Garden City Cyclers and San Jose Road club, Mountain View Cyclers, Redwood City Wheelmen aud an army of unattached riders. There were all sorts of wheels and tandems, and a large number of charming bloomer girls, who seemed to fell and Hollinf and Barley stopYed to see if he was badly injured, thus losing all chance in the Tace, but such an act of kindness_would make road racing more opular if of more freauent occurrence. E‘ortunafgly Foard escaped with only a few bruises. Frank M. Byrne made a great ride from the scratch, passing every man but one, and there were twenty of them. His time was 12:05 4-5, though owing to a variance of one minute in the starter’s and timer’s watches it was at first stated to be a minute faster, which would have beers under the world’s record. The error was discovered and rectified on the train coming home, and the Imperials though somewhat dis- appointed had the satisfaction of knowing their man had made the fastest time of the day. B. Lyon won the race with two minutes handicap. The Tiders finished as follows: Net riding CONTESTANTS.

After filling two baggage-cars with wheels, which were tumbled in like tranks by the trainmen and piled anyway they happened to fall, it was found neces- sary to attach a box car to the train for the balance. This delayed the train half an hour, and similar trouble and delay was experienced at Valencia-street station when WALTER F. FOSTER OF THE OLYMPIC CLUB WHEELMEN. take a lively interest in all the surround- ings. The road was lined with teams from the surrounding towns. It is evident the Olympic Club wheel- men know how to properly handle a road- race. The affair was originally placed in the hands of Captain_Thornton, Secretary Hunter, and Messrs. Hobson and Stratton. Through their endeavors thirty-five riders were soon actively training for yesterday’s race, and much enthusiasm and friendly rivairy was manifested. Then when it came to the question of prizes they were very liberal, and in the selection of officials fo manage the race only the most experienced and efficient were chosen. Under all these advantageous circumstances it is little wonder the race The Imperial Club also chose its prizes and officials well, and though not having as many entrants as the Olympics the pro- Eomon compared to their respective mem- erships was equal. It was two minutes and fifteen seconds past 2o0’clock when J. F. McGlynn, than whom there is no better starter on the Frank M. Byrne of the Imperial Cycling Club. coast, sent the limit-men off in the Olym- pic race, and the others followed in quick succession. The winner turned up in R. Irones, practically a new rider, who had a handi- cap of two minutes. Walter Foster made best time, 12:33, but this is slow for him, and he must_have been out of form. The net riding time of Chapman, Bernhard, Whitman, Lemmon, Fuller and Christ does not vary more than ten seconds, as will be seen by the following table, which shows the positions at the €nish, handi- caps and net riding time: Handicap.

Broken spokes, punc- tured tires, scratched enamennd other damages were the rule after the wheels were taken out, and the clubs talk of boy- | cotting the railroad and riding their wheels home hereafter unless the company makes some provision for their safe carriage. The Bay City Wheelmen held a pro- | gressive euchre party and smoker Satur- | day night. Charles” K. Melrose won the | euchre game and a silver matchbox as | the prize. R. M. Welsh, F. L. Day and | C. M. Nutter also made high scores. The club had a run to the park yesterday morn- ing and rode to San Carlos afterward to see the races. The Liberty Cycling Club_and its ladies’ | annex made an attractive showing in the | park yesterday, the ladies being well rep- | resented and nearly all wore the bloomer | costume. HS SKULL CRUSHED I Terrible Accident to Young Charles Kane in Golden Gate Park. The Boy’s Horse Became Frightened at a Bicyclist’s Bell and Bolted. Charles Kane, a bright boy 15 years of age, met with an accident in Golden Gate Park yesterday afternoon that it was stated would in all probability prove fatal. He and two other boys drove out to the park yesterday. The horse belongs to his father, who is a contractor and builder living at 2490 Market street, and has been with the family since it was a pony. The boys took up a position in the rear of the band stand and unhitched the horse allowing it to graze around. While | they were eating their lunch the ringing of a bell by a passing bicyclist frichtened the horse and it ran away. Young Kane | Lumped to his feet and rushed afer the orse, calling upon it to stop. He over- took the animal and grabbed led of the reins. He was unable to control the animal and was dragged from his feet and along the Eround for a considerable distance. ‘The horse’s hoofs struck him on the head and he was and unconscious. The ambulance was summoned and he was taken tothe Receiving Hospital, where picked up bleeding Drs. Weil, Thompson and Fitzgibbon operated upon him. They found the left side of his head crushed in, the base of his skull fractured, and there was an ugly wound on his forehead. They had to re- move a piece of his skull. They expressed the opinion that he could not recover. His mother was at the hospital and her grief was intense. He was her oldest boy and was unusually bright and intelligent. He was a pupil at the Hearst Grammar School. Thefamily lived in San Rafael for four years, and only removed to this City about a month ago, as the parents thought it would be more advantageous for the children. The boy’s father is at present up country and is not expected home for a few days yet. Inquiries made by the select committee of Parliament on distress from want of em- ployment received 1574 replies from dis- tricts representing 26,591,394 persons, near- ly the whole povulation of Englana and Wales. In 920 places, representing a popu- lation of 10,291,600, there was no excep- tional distress; in 475 places, with a popu- lation of 11,792,527, there was distress due solely to the severity of the winter, while in 179 2é:ulucel. representing a population of 4,507,267, the distress was due to slackness of trade, derrugion of agriculture, or par- ticular local or industrial causes.

The Eastern Champions Barely Held Their Own at Schuet- zen Park. CALIFORNIA CLUB'S FESTIVAL. Its Nineteenth Annlversary Brought Out all the Best Shots In Californla. It was a gala day at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael, yesterday. Marksmen were there by the hundred and scores that rivaled those made in New York by Strecker, Helm, Schuster and Faktor were made. It was the occasion of the California Schuet- zen Club’s nineteenth anniversary and all the best shots in the country were there to contest for the prizes offered. The first contingent of shooters went over on the special boat that left at 6:40 A. M., and as soon as the train arrived at the park the twelve targets were soon all engaged. Captain Fred Schuman had the range in splendid order and not a hitch occurred during the day. The first bulls- eye was made by Champilon A. Strecker, the first 25-ring by Charles Thierbach, the second 25-ring by Philo Jacoby and the first 20-line shot on the man target by D. W. McLavghlin. The first best shot for the forenoon was made by Adolph Strecker and the last best shot by Judge George H. Bahrs. At noon time was called and the shoot- ers adjourned to the banquet hall. Philo Jacoby was master of ceremonies, and he called upon Dr. Muffe, president of the verein, for a speech of welcome. Among other things the doctor said: “I can re- member the organization of the California Schuetzen Verein in 1876. A few of our best-known citizens decided that the honor of California had to be upheld at the Phil- adelphia Centennial held in that year, at which all the countries of the world were to be represented. They returned victorious— just as victorious as the men who have re- turned from New York with prizes innum- erable. “Of the men who formed the club in 1876 and who went to Philadelphia to uphold the credit of this State only three are with us to-day. They are Philo Jacoby, W. Ehrenpfort and A. Strecker. [Cheers.] Ja- coby at that time carried off the honors from all the assembled shooters, and Strecker and Helm repeated the victory at New York last month. gCheers.] Keep it up, boys! Keep it up! California can never aiford to be anything else but first in the race.”” William Ebrenpfort, one of the men who went back East with the representa- tives, and one of the oldest marksmen now handling a rifle—he is now 70 years old and can make his bullseye with the best of them—was next called upon. He related his experiences in New York, and said he was so charmed with the treat- ment extended to the boys by the vereins back there that he would not have come home for a month had it not been for the fact that yesterday was his birthday and also the birthday of the club. Mr. Jacoby was called upon, but all he would say was that “I hofle everybody will enjoy themselves, and that better scores will be made than ever before in the his- tory of the country.” Immediately after lunch the shooting was resumed, and the first bullseye was scored by Charles Walden. Shortly after- ward Landry C. Babin, who had been in a sick-bed at Byron Springs for three weeks, bnt came to gnn Francisco in order to be present at the festival, made the good score of 66 out of a possible 75 on the ring target. Dr. Rodgers made 77 on the “man” target and 70 on the ‘‘honorary,” while Strecker made 72and O. Bremer made 71 on the “honorary,” and Charles Welden 76 on the “‘man” target. Dr. Rodgers’ score on_ the “man’ target was 18-19-20-20—77, which was one of the best efforts of the day. Only two members put in an appearance at the “king” target. All the others will ut in their best efforts next Sunday. Nick Aherns made a fair showing with 203 and Dr. Rodgers with 206 out of a possible 250. Only three shots are allowed, so neither of these contestants are likely to win the coveted honor of being *“Schuetzen King.”’ Philo Jacoby made his 350, which en- titles him to a marksman’s laurel wreath and a valuable prize, before 3 p. M., and Gus Glindemann carried off the honors of the last best bullseye of the day. Foliowing were the scores made: J. Utschig 76, William Glindeméan 80, F. Al- linger 104, A. Strecker 105, C.

The scores were measured in the pres- ence of the representives of all the societies having representatives in the contest at 14 Third street last evening after the return of the contestants from the park. The sum of $12 70 was taken in asen- trance money in the several contests held yesterday. RIFLE AT SHELL MOUND. Shots Made by the Various Marksmen at the Ranges.

IN THE HANDBALL COURTS Champion Jones Defeats Champton Harlow and George Hutchinson. A Rattling Game Played at the Unlon Court Between Four Crack Amateurs. The handball courts were well patron- ized yesterday and several exciting games were witnessed. At the San Francisco court the greatest interest was evinced in the return match between Champion Jones of Australia and J. Harlow, the coast champion, assisted by George Hutchinsoun. On the previous Sunday Harlow and Hutchinson were the victors, and they determined to do their level best to repeat the performance, but they were disappointed. Each of the five games was stubbornly contested, but Jones managed tosecure three out of the five. At the Union court the chief attraction was a match between J. Feeney and A. l’ennoi‘er and R. Lenihan and D. Farrell. Farrell, when living in the City, was con- sidered one of the crack players. He is here on a brief visit, and availed himself of the opportunity to try his hand at toss- ing the Enll. He and Lenihan were de- feated, but it was evident that Farrell was out of practice.
