Object to the Laying Out of Their Dead by the Sterner Sex. SUPERVISORS MEMORIALIZED. The Ladies to Rally at This Evening’s Mass-Meeting—Will Organize Next Week. There was considierable enthusiasm on the part of the fair audience that gathered at the women’s mass-meeting at the First Congregational Church yesterday after- noon. Mrs. Luse presided and Mrs. H. J. Ben- son conducted the devotional exercises, Mrs. Louise Anderson leading the congre- gational singing. Mrs. Addie L. Ballou, chairman of the commiittee on plan of work, submitted the following resolutions, which were unani- mously adopted: To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of the City of San Francisco: In consideration of the shocking revelations of crime that have re- cently been made public through court pro- ceedmgs and the press we, the committee ap- pointed from the women's mass-meeting of Sunday, November 17, 1895, respectfully sug- gest and submit to_your honorable body the following as methods and aids to_better moral and social conditions of our City, and to which we respectfully claim your attention: WHEREAS, Many of these causes underlying these crimes and moral vices are to be found in vicious and tainted environments, impov- erished, overcrowded and uncleanly and negligence and carelessness of pa and pure teaching and example tendi toward honorable and chaste manhood &n virtuons womanhood; and, whereas, the ¢ dren, in all stations of life, and all citiz are alike wards of the State and of the m cipality in which they reside, and sk therefore, be carefull d both by words of enco tion, whether in prison, and_well of good and tend he courts or the e actual capacity 1 to both guard and t as we, mothers and of this City, being fully gencies of the hour and ough recent atrocities of rated the sanctity of sacred nitars of our d the inno- s th ave des oned the bauched and defi ) virgin babes of this Cit bas come and the Deed is pressing ires the co-operation end heroic aid upon whom much of the future of nship and National manhood de- and in which, recognizing our great ibilities, we also see the immediate v of being allowed an equal voice in these vital questions which for the safety and life of our community cen no longer be set aside or ignored; and i 1, That we believe it to be expedient, immediately vital to the furtherance , decency and a purer municipality orali & sajeguard to our homes that one or more be appointed as City inspector or in- i a duties shall be to mak of inspection of ev ain and collzborate statements ve to the overcrowding of sleeping apart- s, cleanliness of habits, contiguousness to of evil resort and to lend such encour- t and counsel as may be needed in in- 1 cases and report the same 10 the De- tment of Police, under whose supervision y may be pursued; and Zsolved, That in the interest of impartial ustice, decency and_human rights, we urge, vith more than nsual eernestness, that where- r women or children ere detected or sus- ected of & crime and brought before & court or jury for any offense, or an_insane commit- ment, or charge of whatsoever nature, it shall be the right and privilege of such criminal, prisoner or patient to be tried in the presence of one or more women until such time as the law may be amended to permit of women be- ing jurors (until whicn time she cannot be judged by & jury of her peers), when one or more women should be drawn upon every jury that shall sit upon & child or woman accused; an; Resolved, That in all cases requiring a corporal or a post-mortem examination of women and girls, common decency and & proper con- sideration due the diseased unfortunate or the dead demands that a woman as physician, or in any required capacity best becoming woman, such be employed, whether in the hos- ital, the court, the prison or any other public nstitution provided by law and paid for from | the tax receipts of the people, irrespective of sex. ADDIE L. BALLOU, Chr. NELLIE B. EYSTER, MEs. ROSE M. FRENCH. Mrs, 8. C. Sanford was introduced and accorded a hearty reception. The lady said: It occurred to me while you were discussing the resolutions that whether the Bupervisors grant your petition or not you have the right to demand that ihe undertakers of the City shall employ women. You sigh for a vocation et do not use all the opportunities you have. Three deaths occurred in my family in asmany vyears, and whom do you suppose they sent to {ay out my dead? A boy of 18, with a red nose, 8 whisky breath and an irreverent air. It was such & person thatcame to care for the dead body of my mother. 1 sent that boy home. Demeand that women shall be employed by un- dertakers and they will be. In this work don’t trouble about results. Do the thing that lies nearestat hand and God will see to the rest. You have been shocked at these disclosures, but you would not have been had you been en- aged in the work in which my lines have fal- en. Not a month passes that such a case is not brought to my attention. Mrs. Sanford is prominently connected with humane society work in Oakland, and is the guardian of thirteen children. She gave some interesting incidents con- nected with her work. I shall use plain language, ladies, for this question cannot be handled with gloves. The time is over for standiug off and touching it with a ten-foot pole. If the ministers had done their duty conditions would not be what they ere. Attention was called by one of the speak- ers to the “medical advertisementsin the daily papers.” It was also insisted that the ordinance prohibiting children from being on the street at night should be'en- forced. The Deaconess quartet sang the Rescue Hymn. Mrs. Rose M. French asked to be excused from speaking, owing to the in- junction of her physician. There were addresses by Mrs. M. Richardson and others. 7 The report of the committee on plan of organization, given at Friday’s mass- meeting, was approved. Greetings were read from the Women’s Club of Le Moore, Rev."James Woodworth and Francis Berry, Mr. Berry offering his legal services to the newly organized Women’s Federation for Public Good. A meeting for organization Wwill be held at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium on the 3d prox., at M e Allladies were urged to attend the joint mass-meeting at Metropolitan Temple this evening. PARK AND BEACH. Great Crowds at Eoth Places—lmprove- ments in the Park to Commence in December. There was an unusual number of people in Golden Gate Park yesterday afternoon, promenaders, peo sle on cycles and people in vehicles of all descriptions. The great- est crowd was around the bandstand and those who were there were treated tosome excellent selections. The solo on the flute, “‘Russian Fantasia,” by A. Lombardi was an excellent performance and the per- former well merited the vigorous applause given him. tiles and is, as to tne exterior, finished. 1t now gives the visitors an idea of what a pretty bit of architecture it is. now at work fimshing the interior, but it will be some time before it will be ready for occupancy. On the first of December the work which the Commissioners contemplate doing during the fiscal year will be commenced. What this will be was described in THE CavLr last week. The nook known as the ‘“cycler's rest,” cpposite the Casino, has of late become a fashionable resort for those who take de- light in watching those in vehicles those on wheels pass by on their wa and from the beac‘l. At one time yester- day there were over 300 spectators at this point, and all seemed to enjoy watching the passing show, including the girls in pretiy and showy costumes. The museum w owded to its capacity all day long by all ses anxicus to view the many curios that cannot be seen dur- ing any one v The atmosphere at the beach was, con- trary to expectation, delightful, and many thousands who filled the westbound trains were glad they went out to inhale the in- vigorating sea breeze. The new Cliff House is so far advanced that this week all the refuse wood and rub- bish that came from the new structure will be cleared away. The force of workmen engaged on the structure are now putting on the interior finishing touche: The depot at the Sutro baths terminus is fast approaching completion and is quite an imposing structure. ‘The mass of loose rock and earth which is on the east side’of the road just where it makes a turn from the Cliff House to the Heights will be removed for a distance of about fifty feet and that added to the width of the main road. It will be an im- provement that will be much appreciated. At the same time the road from the Heights to the beach will be improved. MONUMENT 10 TAUSSIG A Simple Slab Enriched With Greek Designs for Cypress Lawn. Original in Conception of a Bronze Bas- Relief, Fashioned and Wrought at Home. A monument is to be erected in Cypress Lawn Cemetery this week to the memory | of Gabriel Taussig and his wife by their | children. the form being adapted from that of the old Greek stele. The main stone is a sin- gle block of California marble, in the front Men are | It is designed by Bruce Porter, | ! Kerr, who is employed by the Spring Valley | Water Company in San Mateo County. They | disposed of the rig on the way to this City and | sold the horse in Butchertown. JOSEPH SCHERER INJURED. His Buggy Overturned by a Mission Hosecart. Joseph Scherer, a brewer living at 7 Landers street, was severely injuren about the body and chest last evening by being thrown from his buggy on the corner of Sixteenth and Capp streets. Scherer was | driving down Capp street when an alarm of | fire was sounded from the far Mission. In | responding to the alarm engine 7 and the nosecart following it ran down Sixteenth | street and turned into Capp just as | Scherer was turning into Sixteenth. The hosecart ran into Scherer’s vehicle and he d | was thrown to the ground. His horse also was knocked down and fell upon the un- fortunate brewer. Scherer was picked up by the police and removed to the Receiving Hospital. There | were no cuts or broken bones discovered | by the surgeons, but the man was severely | injured internal D S0 THEY MARRIED. Happy Termination of a Ro- mance That Interested the Potrero. |Jim Daly “Squares Himself” and His Postponed Nuptials Are Quietly Performed. All the Potrero is wondering how Jim Daly ‘“squared himself’ with pretty Mamie Connors. Jim and Mamie were to have been mar- ried at St. Theresa’s Church on Sunday, two weeks ago. They are both handsome, good-natured, popular young people and, asa result, the neighbors for blocks around came to the wedding. Mamie came, looking prettier even than ever in her wedding gown. Butthe course of true love was not destined to run smoothly. It seems that the Dalys opposed the match. Mrs. Daly felt that her boy could look farther and fare better, and she said { s0. Her Jim was a dutiful son and he was | very young and so he yielded to his | mother’s importunities and failed to keep his promise with the pretty, blue-eyed lass | who waited for him at the church. | The story of the party that followed at | the Connors house has~ already been told. | Ther the affair blew over. But it was not forgotten. Most of the folks in the Potrero were very severe in their com- ments on voung Jim's behavior. It is | probable that he must have felt they were | deserved, for on Jast Tuesday he and Miss | Connors were quietly married by the par- i ish priest. 7 ONVNENT: OF:MARBLE:AND SEKETCH OF THE MONUMENT ‘BRONZEr:CYPRE//-LAWN:/F: WHICH BRUC: PORTER HAS DESIGNED. of which is sunk a bronze relief, modeled by Miss Estelle Rumbold, from the sug- gestion given by Bruce Porter. It repre- sents a man and a woman seated, the man with the pierim’s suaff, that had served nim through the journey of life, lying idle. The woman_looks toward a winged figure of youth, with uplifted face, who touches i her hand in_invitation. He too has the pilgrim’s staff, and is the guide to the new country of death. Below the relief in bronze is the line from Browning’s ¢ c ? The reverse of the stone bears the dedi- cation inscription, lettered in bronze. Every detail of the monument is on Greek lines, for instance the *‘crest” on top of the column is ornamented with Greek floral designs in bronze. California flora— particularly cowslips and the blossom familiarly known as “soldiers”—have been used for this design, but they have been conventionalized into a Greek pattern. The monument is not large, standing about twelve feet above the line of the grass, but in that also it is classic, as the Greeks built rather for beauty than for vastness. In spite of its Hellenic lines, tne monument will be entirely Californian in execution. It is composed of California marble and bronze, and both the stone- cutting and the metal casting have been executed in this State. —————————— Arrested for Horse-Stealing. Gustave Burrduskey, alias Shafty, 8 young butcher, was arrested yesterday in South San Francisco by Sergeant Cennett and - Officer Stoddard and charged with grand larceny. The prisoner’s accomplice, Cherles Hendersoi, was arrested several days ago on asimilar charge. The two are accused of having stolen The new lodge has been covered withred | a horse and wagon a month ago from James |, “Yes, we were married at the church | Tuesday cvening,” said Mrs. Daly, Jun's | young wife, smiling prettily. *‘But, really, we don’t want nuithing more in the paper. Very few people knew about it this time, | I guess they all know it now, though.” _‘But when did Jim come back, and how did he get you to forgive him?’ was asked. . ‘‘He never went away,” was the answer. *‘He stayed in the City all the time. And | one day he met my brother and then he— | well, he came back.” “Yes, we're living with mamma now,” said Jim’s wife, adding quickly, “but it’s only for this week. Next week we go W housekeeping ourselves.’’ ““In the little flat you had furnished be- fore?” was asked. Mrs. Daly nodded an affirmative | answer, and blushed furiously, but recov- | ered herself in time to receive gracious | congratulations and good wishes. | There were not so many smiles in the | little Daly cottage up on’the high bluff. | In fact, there is much disappointment and SOITOW. I never heard a thing about it till after | they were married,” said Mrs. Daly. “But I don’t want to come between man | and wife. He's made his bed, and must | lie in it.”” It was suggested that blood flowed thicker than water, and that the only thing left to be done was to say, “God bless you, my children.” Butthe old lady shook her head decidedly, and declared she was not made of that kind of stuff. Down among the tenements at the foot of the bluff the folks all joined in wishing Jim and his bride good luck. They seemed | to think tbat Jim bad made a good | choice. And without exception each one of those approached remarked: _“But what’s been botherin’ me is, how Jim squared himself.” 10 CHURCH IN A BaDY, The Junior Order of American Mechanics Attend Divine Service, SERMON BY REV. W. W. CASE. His Theme Was on Political and Re- ligious Liberty—Good Citizen. ship Meeting. The members of the Junior Order of American Mechanics on the Sunday before Thanksgiving attend divine worship either as individuals or as councils. Last even- ing a large number of the members of the various councils in this City met in Shiels Hall on O’Farrell street, where they organ- ized and each pinning the tri-colored badge of the order on the left lapel of his coat, formed in double file and marched to the Howard -‘street Methodist ~ Episcopal Church, Rev. Westwood W. Case pastor. The rail in front of the organ was taste- fully draped with the stars and stripes and the pastor’s desk was also decorated with the flag of the country, while in front was a liberal display of flowers. The members of the order were assigned to seats re- served for them in the front of the anditor- ium, and the remainder of the pews were fillea. The service commenced with an organ voluntary, which was followed by the singing of *John Brown’s Body’’ by the choir, the congregation joining in the chorus. After a prayer the Rev. Mr. Case preached a sermon on “Democratic, Ke- publican, Popular, Civil and Religious Liberty.” The Junior Order of American Mechanics was not so named because the members are workers in the various trades, but because they are the vigorous builders of the Nation, not only the build- ers but its defenders. The purpose of the founders of this coun- try, he said, was to establish democratie, republican, popular, civil and religious liberty, to make it a land of democratic liberty, not a monarchy, but one ruled by the people. He then pave a definition of Democracy and Republicanism and added that there is in this City not only popular freedom, but civil freedom under the rule of the people and religious freedom which gives every one the right to worship as his conscience dictates, providing he does not disturb the peace of the community in which he lives, nor interfere with the rights of others. Religion is a purely individual matter. This Government, he said, is the only one in which religion is severed from the State, not as a matter of toleration, but as an inalienable right which has descended from the earliest times. He asked if there is cause for alarm in this country at this time; if there is any danger, and added that any nation that sets itself against the Lord cannot survive. The young men who belong to the organi- zation that had come to worship will in the next thirty years Fut forth their best energy for good or evil. The country, he said, isin daunger from three causes—atheism, Mormonism and | Roman Catholicism. At this time, he | said, there is no philosophical nor theo- | retical atheism, but practical atheism, and | i this prevail the Nation will become one | without hope. | He did mnot go to football games, | where there is a rash and cruch, wher one player has his head broken, anothe his arm broken, anotner his back broken— arough and tumble, in which every one tries to get ahead. This, he said, wasa good illustration of the world of business, which is a rough and tumble, in which, by deception, fraud and dishonesty each tries to advance. He then devoted himself to Romanism and charged that the hierarchy is scekir to gain control of the country., He de- nounced the principle of a church seeking to gain political supremacy, and deciared that if the Methodist church attempted to gain such political power it should be driven out. He did not oppose any indi- vidual doing ae he vleased in a political sense, but was opposed to any church gaining control of any nation. For the hierarchy to gain control of this country,he said, would mean farewell to principles of liberty, and asked if the people of the United States deserved such a reign. He spoke of the public school system and concluded by asking the Junior Me- chanics to lift their voices against the encroachment of any relicious sect upon the Government and the schools. Several times during his address the speaker was loudly applauded. The ser- vice closed by the singing of ‘*America,” followed by the benediction. A NATIONAL CRISIS. Stirring Addresses Made by Donald M. Ross and V. F. Huddleson. Addresses were delivered at Metropolitan Temple yesterday afternoon by Donald M. Ross and V. F. Huddleson, State president of the American Protective Association. Mr. Huddleson said in part: Iam glad to recognize that the interest in our organization is growing in this City. Never in the nistory of Californiaas a State has there been such an enthusiasm as there is to-day. Never have a people been £o thoroughly aroused &s mow. Men and women, boys and girls look upon this as the critical moment of their country. Let us continue this great and glorious work. Let us remember that our loved ones are by our side, our mothers are lnuknl? at us, our wives encourage usand our little children look up lovingly and thank us for leading them on toward trith, peace and prosperity. It is a mighty political conflict that is to be fought in villages and towns against corruption. ‘With honest patriotism we will grasp the American fleg and go forth swearing that we shall return with the American eagle perched upon it, grasping tne waving folds in its talons. Let us look well to our country and our coun- try’s call; let us lqr‘get our personal ambition, and if we do we will behold Old Glory march- ing at the head of our mighty and victorious throng which strives for the re-Americanizing of America. The resolutions of the committee ap- pointed at the good citizenship meeting a week ago to formulate words of encour- agement in_sympathy with the eftorts that are being put forth for the prosecu- tion of the perpetrators of the recent shocking immoralities were read by the Rev. C. A. Rabing and were unanimo usly adopted. It was resolved tbat a men’s meeting be held in Metropolitan Temple this evening under the direction of Rev.D. M. Ross, Rev. C. A. Rabing and T, C. Walker, to raise money to further the work of the women of this City. Addresses will be made by Dr. W. W. Case, Dr. Dille, Dr. C. 0. Brown, Rev. D. M. Ross, Rev. H. W. Bowman, Mrs. Sanford and Mrs. Rose M. French. Donald M. Ross continued the address which he began at the last meeting, on “National Ills and the Right Medicine.” He said: ' The A. P. A. was called into existence as the 01d Whig or Republican party was called into existence, simply to take sides in purely Na- tional issues, not to contest any religion or re- ligions belief. % 1 do not believe that righteous laws can be enforced in a nation where a religious sect has control. The political work in San Francisco and in all the cities of the Union is not to carry out the requirements of the laws conscientiously, but to put in heelers for the aggrandizement of the bosses. 3 _ 1 belive in right and I believe in justice. We simply advocate that everY man may have & part in the Government's legislation. 1 belfeve that immigration should be re- stricted. I believe that not a man with a criminal record or a pauper record should be tolerated in this United States. I would make it a criminal offense for a parent to keep out of school his child. They \ should be Kept under the direction of the | teachers untll they leave the schoolhouse doors | with parchments under their arms. I believe that this time is coming, and that the A. P. A. 11 be the hand tobring it to pass. CAPTURED A BURGLAR. A Young Man of Good Family Caught Robbing # House on Leaven- worth Street. A young man, giving the name of Ed- ward B. Bowers and claiming to be a son of J. F. Bowers, the piano-dealer at23and 25 Fifth street, was apprehended while in the act of robbing the residence of Mrs. Preston, at 1424 Leavenworth street, last evening. He was arrested by Officer M. F. Tannian and booked at the California- s.reet station on a ¢ harge of burglary. Between 7:30 and 8 o’clock last evening Customs Officer W. P. Wand notified Po- lice Officer Tannian that he had heard sus- picious noises for several minutes in the flat occupied by Mrs. Preston. Officer Tannian stationed Wand at the front door and went himself to the rear of the building, where he found a window open- ing on the bathroom bhad been broken open. He entered and caught Bowers ran- sacking Mrs. Preston’s bedroom. The burglar submitted to arrest without resistance, and when searched was found to have only a pocket-knife and a “jimmy’’ in his possession. EMMANUEL CHAPEL CAR. How the Gospel Is Carried Into Small Towns Unblessgd With Regular Churches. On a siding near the corner of Fourth and Townsend streets is what appears to be an extra Jong Pullman sleeper. The only distinguishing outward feature is the word Emmanuel in large gilt letters. Itis the Emmanuel chapel car and is for the purpose of spreading the Gospel among railroad men. The gentleman having charge of this means of spreading the Gospel, Harry E. Manager Harry E. Hills. [From a photograph.] Hills, has held his position since August 7. when Rev. E. G. Wheeler, the original designer and for over three years its con- ductor, was killed in a railroad accident 120 miles west of Albuquerque. Mr. Hills was at the time Mr. Wheeler’s assistant. The car, which is a model of compast- ness and convenience, was built under the personai supervision of Rev. Mr. W heeler three years ago last May. It cost $10,000, | which was furnished by the American Baptist Publication Society. The car has already been aboat all over the coast, and it hasaveraged 100 meet- ings each month. It travels attached to | first-class trains, the railroads furnishing | transportation free. This with the privi- | lege of free messages over the Postal Tele- | graph wires and free expressage by Wells, Fargo and the Pacific Express Company | | constitutes important aids to the work. r. Hill does not know just how long he ill remain here, probably less than a week. Inthe meantime the publicis in- { vited to inspect the car each day afters o’clock.

The Democratic fight between the"Buck- leyites and Raineyites appears so hopeless of early settlement that Judge Maguire has about quit trying tobea blessed peace- maker. 1 Mr. Maguire will start for Washington to-morrow and he will probably wash his hands of local politics in disgust just be- fore he goes. At least he said last might that if there were two factional primaries, as now appears likely, he would havenoth- | ing to do with either one of them or with | local politics, for it would mean disaster to | the party generally in San Francisco. As | between the two factions, however, he be- | lieves that the one held by the regular or- | ganization would be the legal one and the one to be recognized as representing the | party. *I know of no developments promising a compromise since the meeting of Friday night,”’ he said last evening. ‘*‘Both sides have ordered primaries and apparently in- tend to goright ahead with them. If there are two primaries it will mean party de- feat and I will have nothing to do with either one of them. I made a strong effort to have a primary arranged to be held under the absolute control of a committee of men whose character would be & guar- antee of honesty and fairness, but I have been unsuccessful. “I do not know what may develop in the future. The Junta’s new general com- mittee is undoubtedly under the control of Rainey and Daggett, and what they and some others may do cannot be predicted.” During the two or three days preceding the meeting of the new Rainey-McNab- Daggett general committee, while Mr. Maguire was conferring with representa- tives of both sides about his proposition, he presented a list of twenty-five Demo- crats as a committee to run a primary in which the party would have confidence | and in which all elements would get a show for the strength in them. This was that committee: A. H. Loughborough, Dr. C. A. Clinton, Barry Baldwin, John H. Wise, Frank McCoppin, E. B. Pond, James D. Phelan, Robert Ferral, J. B. Renstein, George T. Marye, Eugene Deuprey, M. C. Hassett, Alexander Vogelsang, W. H. Metson, John P. Dunn, Charles W. Welch, Eugene R. Garber, D. F. Ragan, James Devoto, ‘Anthony Quille, E. P. Enright, James F. Smith, Matt I. Sullivan, Clitus Barbour, Dr. James L. Stanton. The Buckleyites would have accepted that committee, or one about like it, and been willing to surrender practical control of the primary to it on benalf of the regu- lar general committee. The McNabers looked at it a while, rejected the proposi- tion and, acting on Maguire's idea, got up a similar primary committee of their own, in which they named ten from Maguire’s list—Messrs. Phelan, Reinstein, Marye, Hassett, Vogelsang, Devoto, Smith ana Barbour. Some of those have since declined to act. *I ao not stick at names,” said Mr. Ma- guire last evening, “but my idea was that such men, and there are plenty of them in the party, would be a guarantee of nearly avsolute fairness and honesty in the con- duct of a primary. Another suggestion of mine was that there be but one rollcall, commencing at the same time in every district, so that repeaters could not go | from one place to another voting in the names of absentees. ““This would not prevent false registra- tion and more or less fraudulent voting, but with honest election officers inside and a single rollcall fraud would be reduced to a minimum and a fair expression of the will of the Democratic voters would be obtained.” ‘With Maguire off attendine to Congress the situation will be left to the hands of Buckley, Rainey and other local states- men to fix up or fight out, unless some other outside powers step into the breach. However, as fierce as the combat may wage now and for a little time, and how- ever earnest a few nice people who want nice politics may feel, there is little if any doubt that before the last bell rings the bosses, big and little, will settle things on a percentage-of-patronage basiy, and in the interest of harmony and the party there will be but one of those good old Demo- cratic primarie ATTEMPTED MURDER. Miguel Flores Arrested Last Evening on a Charge of Stabbing a ‘Whaler. Miguel Flores, a fisherman, who claims to be a native of Chile, was arrested last evening on Pacific street by Officers Egan and Norman and charged with assault with intent to murder. On the night of November 17, at about 12 o’clock, Gerome Lopez, a whaler from the bark California, went into the dance house at 313 Pacific street. He lighted a cigar and in throwing the match away it fell on the garments of a small man sit- ting near. A companion of the small man demanded of Lopez why he was abusing his friend. Lopez was astonished and was about to reply that he had no such intention, when the man whom he was accused of abusing drew a'knife and stabbed Lopez in the lower abdomen and the right leg. The wounds were thought to be serious and Lopez was taken to the Receiving Hospi- tal, his assailant having in the meantime escaped. Yesterday Lopez was discharged from the hospital. e gave the police a descrip- tion of Flores and later identified him in the prison.
