THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRtDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1895. THEY MOURN HIS DEATH. Many Prominent Citizens At- tend the Obsequies of Ira P. Rankin. GOOD WORK IN THIS CITY.| An Eloquent Eulogy by the Pastor of the First Congregatlonal Church. The funeral of Ira P. Rankin took place | yesterday morning from the rirst Congre- gational Church, Post and Mason streets. | The auditorium of the church was well filled with friends of the deceased, and the officers of the c h were present. The ket was borne into the church, | the following pall-bearers preceding the | mourners: Messrs. H. L. Dodge, John | Taylor, C. S. Eaton, H. E. Matthews, J. J. Vasconcellos, 1. H. Morse, J. J. Valentine | and J. O. Earl. The choir chanted “Thy ‘ Will Be Done,” after which Dr. C.O. Brown, pastor of the First Congregational Church, read extracts from the Scriptures. ad, Kindly Light,”” was beautif sung by the quartet choir. Rev. Dr. Wil ley, who was associated with the deceased | place was s note, and that Rauer sues for $460, overa third more than tne original loan. Mr. Heringhi says he borrowed the $340 on August 25, 1894. The money was ad- vanced, but Rauer insisted on Heringhi's giving a note in the sum of $400. The note was not to bear interest. When the three months had expired Hgringhi asked for an extension of three months longer, and his request was granted. He had to give a note for $460, however, for the accommoda- tion. Another extension of three months was granted, for which he paid Rauer $60 in cash. The third extension of three months was granted, so says the answer, and under the same $60 condition. o Now Rauer wants $460 for $340, the orig- inal loan of twelve months ago, with $120 eady paid, bringing interest thereon up to between 60 and 70 per cent. .. - CO-OPERATION A SUCCESS. A Society That Has Passed Through the Experiment Stages and Is Prosperous. G. W. Wilderman, president of the World’s Christian Co-operative Society, is the happiest man in town to-day. He is looking with complaisance upon the achievement of years of labor. Mr. Wilderman’s long-cherished plan of co-operative business for the benefit of la- borers is realized. He considers that al- ready he has demonstrated the practica- bility of the plan by successful experiment. in his opinion it only remains to extend it to a larger scale. . The hand laundry at 129 Valencia street was the first venture of the society, and the well patronized that it was found necessary to provide a larger estab- lishment. A restaurant and bakery have been AFTER A NEW FRANCHISE, The Market-Street Company Petitions the Supervisors. the Session of the Street Committee. | s | Supervisors handled a great mass of peti- | tions, protests and complaints yesterday. | Very important business was transacted. contract for making the next official map all day, Chairman Spreckels presiding, | and Benjamin at his elbows.

The speaker reviewed the life of Mr. Rankin at length. He laid particular stress upon the hospitable character of the man, and said that he knew of no man occupied in business as Mr. Rankin al- ways was who devoted so large a portion of ‘his time to benevolent and charitable affairs. In conclusion, Dr. Willey said: “We try to realize that Ira P. Rankin has gone from us, but we will miss him in the many spheres of service that he has filled so well and so long. Nobly, indeed, has he ful- filled the duties of ( n service in this City. His life richly deserves the respect and grativude of those who have at heart the best interests of society at large. His name will be cherished in this church as one of its foremost builders and faithful supporters, and his long service will be | commemorated by generations yet to | come.” | A musical number by the choir, “Let | Me Hide Myself in Thee,” was given, after } which Dr. Mooar of the Theological Seminary delivered a few words eulogistic | of the life and work of the deceased. He was followed by Dr. C. O. Brown, who, | after sketching the boyhood and early days | of Ira P. Rankin, continued by enumerat- | ing the various public trusts which had been bestowed upon him, in_all of which ‘ he had faithfully done his duty. ‘*‘Ira P. Rankin was a deep and earnest student. He believed in God and also in his fellg man,” said Mr. Brown. ‘“He believed in the Redeemer of mankind, and was there- fore, in the best sense of the word, an | optimist. “Such was our friend and brother, Deacon Rankin. His piety was of the in- tellectual rather than of the emotional type. This church was his “home—the apple of his eye. There was something in his look as he came down that ajsle which said, ‘] was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. “I cannot forbear adding a personal word. - He has been as a father to me. Wise in his counsel, gentle in his admoni- tion, I welcomed his footstep as I would that of my own father.”’ The choir sang “Good Night,” after which all present passed round to view the body, the organist playing a voluntary the while. Ithas been decided that the re- | mains shall be sent to Boston. Among | other prominent citizens noticed in the‘ church were the following: | George K. Fitch, A. J. Ralston, Dr. W. H.

Negotiations are pending for the pur- | chase or rental of a slaughter-house in South San Francisco, and it is expected that it will be in operation within two weeks. The society secures goods from a store at wholesale prices, and will receive orders for them at retail rates at an office to be fitted up for those of its members who as- sume charge of the business at the store. The society’s department will be distinct from the firm, the relations being those of purchaser and supply department. The headquarters of the society have been changed to a more desirable Jocation than formerly, being situated at 1041 Mission stree THE TROLLEY JUGEERMALT Vernon Clark, a Schoolboy, Snatched From the Jaws of Death. His Life Saved by the Rare Presence of Mind of Policeman P. H. Murphy. Vernon Clarke, a boy 11 years of age, living at 514 Sutter street, narrowly es- caped being mangled under the wheels of | electric-car 1104, on Kearny street, yester- day afternoon. His life was saved by the | rare presence of mind and pluck of Police- man P. H. Murphy. Vernon is a pupil of the Lincoln Gram- | mar School. He left the school at 2:30 o'clock, half an hour earlier than usual, yesterday afternoon, at the request of his mother, and went to the Chronicle build- He then walked along the east side of Kearny street, till | near Sutter, when he started to cross the | street behind a northbound car that was for the moment standing on the track. The boy did not observe a car that was going south until it was upon him, and | before he could get off the track he was | krocked down. The fender, which is supposed to shove any obstruction aside, ran‘over him, and | he would have been crushed under the wheels in another instant had it not been for Policeman Murphy. He was on the dummy of the car, and when the boy was knocked down he grasped hold of the rail with his left hand and, bending down, seized hold of one of the boy’s feet, yelling at the same time to the motorman to stop. By Murphy’s keeping a firm hold on the boy’s foot the boy was dragged along the ground till the car stopped. Another moment and Murphy would have been forced to let go his hold, as the strain had forced him to his knees on the ground just as the car was pulled up. ‘When the boy was dragged out he was covered with dust from head- to foot. He comg}nined of pains in his head and leg, and Murphy took him to the Receiving Hospital. It was found that his only in- jury was a contusion of the scalp and leg. Policeman Murphy said that if the car had not been going slow as it was passing the other car the boy would have been in- stantly killed, as nothing could have saved him from being crushed under the wheels. Fire Department. The Fire Commissioners met yesterday after- noon and decided to petition the Board of Sup- €rvisors to organize three new engine compan- ies, No. 31 to be siationed at Pacific and Jones streets, No. 32 at Ocean View and No. 33 Zat Seventeenth and Harrison streets. L. Dunn, hoseman of engiue 13, was fined five days’ pay for neglect of duty, and the resignation of Ed Keating, truckman truck 6, was accepted. ——————— The returns of the Protestant denomina- tion in the United States show the very remarkable increase since 1880 of 3,898,128 members, or 42.05 per cent, though mean- time the increase of population was only 24,86 per cent, &t or near | Townsend | San Franc | eral west/ the said | boundary city of Sa | That the! | teenth stre | where the s | improveme) by the prd etitioner hal | holders to ma | tion of its sal the present chY That after c§ | titioner finds"tN which can be affol line from a point | Sixteenth, 50 &5 t0 rY | Harrison and Division |~ That such ch | affect the use | streets and wi | value to the adjacent propert: | teenth street and to the publ said Jast-named streets. | .

The petition was | recommended to the board for action. | The street-sweeping contract caused a lively overhauling of facts and figures. Superintendent of Streets Ashworth sub- mitted a long communication signed by J. F. Carpenter, clerk of the street-sweep- ing department, the gist of which was that the streets were being cleaned just as well under Ashworth as they were under | the Merchants’ Association. He said: | | There is no disputing the fact that the low- | est bid received under the last call of the | Board of Supervisors will make the cost less to the City, but it can only be accomplished by even more machine work than now done by you, or through a very low rate of wages. I would take this occasion to suggest—with- out prejudice to labor, but rather with a view to extend assistance 10 a greater number—that if a living compensation could be fixed (say 20 cents per hour) as good results could be ac- | complished as contracting the work, and con- sidering the present condition of the labor market I think no sensible laboring man | would object or seek to take advantage of any technicality of law to deprive others of the ific Railroad xteenth and | sdvantage of employment enjoyed by himself. | This change, together with the sdvantage | that you have of cleaning only a portion of a | street, as necessity requires,” would, in my opinion, give results satisfactory to all. This cannot 'be done when specifications say, ‘“The entire surface of the roadway must be cleaned.” Superintendent Ashworth reported that he had cleaned 24,644,900 square yards of streets from August 6 to September 30 at a cost of $16,955. The average cost per 1000 square yards was 69 cents. At present there are 112 men emvloyed in the depart- ment. Ninety-two carioads of sweepings were sent to Golden Gate Park. | . Heclaimed that the aifference per day between the number of square yards cleaned by the Merchants’ Association for the first forty days of their contract when a full force was employed for twenty-four hours and the first forfy days under him- self with ike conditions was about 45,000 square yards in favor of the association. Ashworth said he could clean the streets for 65 cents a thousand square yards. The City Improvement Company offered to do the same work for 49% cents a thousand square yards. On motion of Supervisor Spreckels it was recommended that the work be let to the lowest bidder. The contract runs to June 21 next and is for street-sweeping alone. The successful bidder must give bonds for $25,000. The work has to be done to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Streets. _ The street-sprinkling contract was re- jected, and it was recommended that par- ties who wanted their streets sprinkled must pay for work themselves. Notice was given requesting the Market- street Railway Company to inform the board of what action the company pro- Railway STREET-SWEEPING CONTRACT. Conslderable Worl‘ Cleaned Up at The Street Committee of the Board of Recommendations were. made that the street-sweeping contract be awarded to the City Improvement Company and that the of the City be given the City and County Surveyor for $10,000. The session lasted { with Messrs Hughes, Morgenstern, Dunker One of the most important petitions was the following from the Southern Pacific The undersigned, your petitioner, represents en the poses to take in the matter of the franchise on Page street, west of Fillmore; also as to other streets upon which they have franchises which_ are not utilized or oper- ated, so that this board may act intelli- gently and without unjust interference with “the rights granted to said company on petitions of property-owners for the improvement of streets and for the opera- tion of the roads for which franchises have been granted. Also to inform this board what streetsor vortions of streets the said company de- sires to abandon, and to report to the board on or before October 15 on the matters herein provided for. Attorney 8. M. Shortridge, on behalf of the Olympic Salt Water Company, gave notice that the company was going to lower its pipes on certain sections of Point Lobos avenue in order to conform to the official grades. When the pipes were laid the official grades along the avenue had not been fixed. The Merchants’ Association sent in a communication stating that an official m? of the city could%)e made for $5000, and it asked that the appropriation should not exceed that sum, The committee re- ported that the matter of the official map seemed to be misunderstood. The making of the official map is a small portion of the expense. Surveys of theoutside districts are required, mounments furnished with a general survey of the varioustracts of land, streets and avenues, and the correct lines determined, and when so determined to be declared by order of the board to correct the errors that now exist. These surveys, under the law, must be performed by the City and County Surveyor. Any action taken except by that officer would be re- quired to be gone over and adopted by him to make it official. Any other course than that proposed would result in greater ex- pense and less accuracy. City and County Surveyor Tilton pre- sented memoranda showing the multitudi- nous details that would have to be attended to in making an official map. On the showing it was recommended to let him do the work for $10,000. The City and County Surveyor was in- structed to establish the line and official width of the roadway from Sunnyside to Ocean View. Buperintendent Clarkson of the House of Correction complained that the Italian gardens had encroached on the roadway so much that there was hardly room for one team. The Spring Valley Water Company sent a communication declining to build a reservoir on Holly Park unless they could get a lease sufficiently long to warrant them in expending $10,000 on the work. It was hinted that under any circumstances they would decline to furnish the park water free. The matter went over. George W. Elder, the special expert of Superintendent Spreckele, and George T. Gaden, the Mayor's right-hand man, re- ported to the committee that Contractor A. B. Clute was making a horrible botch of the work of paving Twelfth street, from Folsom to Harrison. The committee vis- ited the place at once and found it as poor as reported. Elder was able to_easily kick a hole in the “solid” concrete laid for the bed. One of Superintendent Ashworth’s inspectors stood by letting the fraudulent work go on without makin% any com- plaint. Unless it 1s remedied before being offered for acceptance Contractor Clute will meet with & warm reception when he goes to collect his bill. The petition for the filling in of Army street, between Pennsylvania avenue and Kentucky street, elicited a strong protest from a number of property-owners, headed by, James L. Taylor. Taylor claimed that the proposed improvement benefited the ublic far more than it did the property- gsessed and he urged that the City ast one-half of the cost. ’s story the assessment the property.

The ity Hall angel is in a state of un- certainty as to her standing on earth. The cruel fact was yesterday disclosed that she is not the child of her creator. When this sad tiding reached hershe bore it heroically. No sign of grief could be discovered on hér handsome face. There was not a tremorin her pose, nor was there a flicker of the torch which she carries for the future purpose of blazing the trail of rectitude for the weary feet of the Solid Eight. But so far as her future is concerned the City Hall amgel lets not a wave of trouble roll across her peaceful breast. Her proud position on the dome of the City Hall is assured regardless of the humiliation to which she has been subjected, for the work of transformation has begun and cannot be retarded. Not even the relentless col- lector nor the persistent deputy sherff can undo nor hinder her evolution to a higher sphere. The good angel was yesterday morning relieved of the presence of the officer who was holding her in custody for the benefit of the Patriotic Assurance Com%‘anfi, who had agreed with her creator, F. Marion Wells, to protect her during the transition. The angel is still with Kriemer Bros., 40 Jessie street, undergoing transformation. But the deputy is gone and he will not re- turn, since he has learned that the object of his tender watching had been some time since transferred from the possession of her creator to the ownership of P. Degan. The long, weary chase on_the trail of Sculptor Wells “availed his creditors naught. To be sure, they seized the angel and held her where she was. But what of that? They couldn’t take her away and put her on the auction block like a hnl;» less, shackled slave—noi for her creator’s debts. ““This angel is all right,” said the elder of the Kriemer brothers yesterday as he patted s Trilbyish foot with Eride, “‘she s an engagement here and she will stay with us until we have fitted her to wear the robes of peace. She doesn’t belong to F. Marion Wells, and they ceh’t collect this plaster of paris beauty for his debts. “'If she i3 insured the premium ought to be paid, If it were her present owners debt and the Sheriff should come for her with that proposition, then she would bave to pass. Otherwise the transforma- tion continues.” And the worker in zinc turned to his task on the foot, remarking, “‘there is only one other like it in all San Francisco and there it is”—touching reverently its mate. Then he fell to humming, “Don’t you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?'’ ——————— Fingers Amputated. George Botchider, an employe in Joseph Budde’s factory, 575 Mission street, had two fingers of his right hand severely cut by a ma- chine yesterday morning, and hed them at- tended to at the Receiving H pital. James Burke, an employe in the box-factory, 520 Mar- ket street, had three fingers of his left hand so badly cut by one of th ine hl‘d{obum;unam. e machines that they FIGHTING FOR THE TRUST, Administrator Goodfellow’s New Move in the Fair Will Contest. LEGALITY OF THE NEW ACT. A Claim That the Law of 1895 Was Not Properly Passed by the Leglslature. The legality of the legislative act upon which Charles L. Fair based his suit to quiet title to the Lick House property has been questioned by Garret W. McEnerney, attorney for Special Administrator Good- fellow, and this new complication removes still further the settlement of the main questions involved in the litigation over the big estate. When the Lick House matter was brought up in Judge Slack’s court yester- day, Charles L. Fair’s attorneys demand- ing a judgment on the pleadings, this point was presented by Mr. McEnerney, and a continuation to next Thursday for argument was granted. Mr. Fair was represented by Attorney Charles Wheeler, and the latter and other attorneys were ready to proceed with the arguments on a motion for judgment, but Mr. McEnerney asked for a continuance. He stated that only a few days’ notice had been given him that the motion would be made and so he was not prepared for the argument. Then he announced that he intended to serve notice of a motion to postpone con- sideration of the matter now at issue until the dispute over the Fair wills had been determined. “Until a will has been probated,” he said, “the court is without jurisdiction over the issues that arise in the suit to uiet title. No court of equity, under a ecision of the Supreme Court, can de- termine questions arising out of a will until the will has been probated. “‘That is the law, unless the right to in- stitute this proceeding is conferred by the statute of 1895.” Mr. McEnerney then stated that he was ready to show by the records of the Legis- lature that the statute to which he re- ferred had not become a law, as it had not received more than twenty votes in the Senate. Hewould produce a certified copy of the journal of the Legislature in sup- port of this allegation and show that the act upon which Charles L. Fair based his test suit was never properly passed. Administrator Goodfellow ~is alone in this move, Attorney Pierson, rep- resenting the other administrators, stating that he did not agree with Mr. McEnerney; that he thought the case ought to be ar- gued and disposed of. Mr. McEnerney insisted that as Admin- istrator Goodfellow bad denied in his an- swer that the plaintiff possessed any title to the Lick H%uue property his position was different from that of the other admin- istrators. Jadge Slack decided to grant the con- tinuance asked by Mr. McEnerney and the argument will be begun next Thursday. A MARINER'S WILL. Second Officer Beckman of the Belgic Bequeathed His Entire Estate to His Wife. Becond Officer George Otto Beckman of the steamer Belgic, which steamer was siranded on the coast of Japan last Sep- tember, left an estate consisting of $7389 55 in bank and Alameda real estate valued at $500. A will, conveying all the property to the wife, was filed yesterday. It is as follows: 8. 8. BEL6IC, July 25, 1891. SAN FRANCISCO. This is my last will and testament of me, George Otto Beckman, mariner. 1 herebyzrevoke all wills and_testamentary documents heretofore by me made. I give and bequeath to my wife, Emilie Beck- man, all my moneys which I have in the savings banks, viz.: San Francisco Savings Union and German Savings Bank, and ell my other properts, without any condition what- ever. I appoint W. M. Fonda as my executor. GEORGE OTTO BECKMAN. Officer Beckman was killed atthestrand- ing of the steamer on September 8. —————— Fined for Shipping Salmon. The California Fish Commissioners are greatly pleased over the conviction of Stephen Gordon, who was fined $100 recently in Stock- ton for shipping salmon from Bonldin Island during the closed season. The deputy Com- missioners have great difficulty in convicting those who make a business of violating the game laws, owing to the way in which the rlends of 'the accused stretch the truth in tes- tifying.
