THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1835. 13 The Losses Are Over a Quarter of a Million Dollars. ITS CAUSE A MYSTERY Started on the Second Floer of | ¢ Hoffman, Alexander & Co.’s Store. . SEVERAL FIRMS SUFFERERS. Only the Bare Walls of the Clarke Estate’s Two-Story Brick Build- ing Are Left. a very ch i f about re in the wholesale district | ” hi is the explanation the firm gave. That's all. to the basement of Levi Strauss & Co. | the big four-story brick building, next to | that of Mrs. Clarke, on Battery street, | owing to the water running inte it, and | the three-story brick building occupied by C. L. Haskell, the harness merchant, on Bush street, was considerably scorched. Its third story became ablaze, but the damage by the'red fiend itself to this build- ing was not great. Mr. Haskell was made | to suffer considerably by water, however, | because of the deluging of the third floor | to put the fife cut there. | When to-day the losses of all are put together they may foot up an actual total of $300,000. The firemen of engine company 2, through a still alarm, were the first to di | cover that the building was in flames, and hey immediately turned in an alarm. At 7:35 P. M. a general alarm was sounded, and in a few moments eight engines were playing streams upon the flames through | the upper windows, but a hard fight en- sued before the blaze, which lit up the entire district, gave in to the miliions of gallons of water which were played upon it. { After the fire had been extinguished the ! underwriters’ big celiar pump, which re- sembles a giant fire-engine, was put to work | to clear the basement of the burned build- |ing of water. Two great streams were ing from the ponderous machine night, but finally the work was accomplished. 1t was found that the goods stored in vhe basement had been ndered worthless by the flood of water hich had poured uvon them from above. Taking it all in all, and considering the | area which was swept by the flames, s one of the most destractive fires not alone > owners of the businesses, but to the underwriters as well that has hap- | pened for some time in this City. |~ The statements of losses and insurance | are: WORKING ON THE FIRE WITH THE WATER-TOWER. “Cail artiet; ore the second alarm was may be said to have d d be saved. addenness o see the wor the wi amass o ywer was the it from sprea )t to the scene as soon as it was for it to do i by bard work led in preventing a conflagration 1 more expensive to the insu ng the gutted building are wealthy for adjoin ishments of some prett es yse who were the heaviest losers by ht’s fire were: Hoffman, Alexander Jlesale and manufacturiag cloth- iedman & Rogers, wholesale boot man, Alexander & Co., wholesale z; loss $200,000, insurance $100,000.

The loss of Hofiman, Alexander & Co. alone—the burning up of their stock —they put at $200,000,which may be rather high. The building was an old one at the north- east corner of Bush and Battery streets, and was probably worth ,000 as a liberal estimate. Mrs. Clarke, its owner, lives in San Jo! Last night’s losses were well covered by insurance, because in the fight between the companies no risk that could be ob- tained has been overiooked, and the spot was 4 favorable one owing to the non-com- bustibie material of ail the buildings in that particular locality and the fact that the business there was motof a kind to give agents much worry. From what Fire Marshal Towe and Cap- tain Comstock of the Fire Patrol were able to discover on the scene, and fronx the statement of Isaac Hoffman, the fire must have originated on the second floor of Hoffman, Alexander & Co.’s establish- ment, in the cutting department. The employes were in the habit of leavingat 5 o’clock Saturday afternoons, and it is sup- posed that they did, as was their wont. In less thap three hours later the big stock of clothing was consumed. to the stock of gloves may amount to con- siderable.

The Elkton Stable’s Good Jumper, J 0 C, Adds Another to His List of Victories. Good judges say Can't Dance isa colt with & future before him. He certainly showed himself worthy of his great sire, | Longfellow, by his game and impressive win of the rich Horse Show Association stakes worth $1500 to the winner, run off at | Ingleside racecourse yesterday. The youngster took a seven-furlong dash, the distance of yesterday’s race on Thursday |in such a handy fashion that he made many friends, going to the post second choice. Sallie Clicquot, with top-weight 112 pounds, reigned favorite, her closing odds being 9to 5. Not a tew thought the Spreckels entry Ravelston a better colt than he has yet been called upon to sh@w, and, as third choice, many a pasteboard bore hisname. The Santa Anita stables Ramiro was called upon to shoulder 118 pounds, and in the slushy going his chances did not look the best, which accounted for the tempting price of 10 to 1 laid against him, The other five starters looked a trifle out of their class and the bookmakers were lib- eral with the chalk. Atthe post, Sallie Clicquot was inclined to bad behavior, re- ifusing to line up with her field. Starter Caldwell finally sent them away all well in motion, with Can’t Dance, Ramiro and Ravelston the first to show. Piggott, on the latter, sent his mount to the front, and with the favorite at hisside but a head back, the two raced in this manner to the tretch, Bergen, on Can’t Dance, content- ing himself with third position. The riders on the three leaders apparently had differ- ent ideas of the best gomg to the stand. Martin, on Sallie Cliquot, hugged the rail; Piggott, on Ravelston, came down nearly the center of the course, and Bergen chose the far outside. Less than a furlong from the finishing Point, Ravelston had Saliie beaten, and if Pig- gott could keep the heavy-headed young- ster together the stake looked his. The fast pace he had set told on him, however, and when Bergen on Can’t Dance made his final effort Ravelston could not respond ana lost the rich prize by a bead. The time, 1:323{, was good considering the con- dition of the track. The favorite finished a good. third. After weighing in, Bergen mounted the winner again, and took down the silken bag containing the coin, which hung suspended from the wire. The balance of the racing was good, and the fine weather drew a large attendance. Favorites landed two purses, with two sec- ond chances and an outsider in front of the other events. | Princess N, the heavily backed 6 to & favorite, took the opening race very hand- ily, reeling off the five furlongs in 1:05. Kowalsky at 15 to 1 in the betting was third, three lengths away. In the mile dash it was thought Montana might give the 1 to 2 favorite, Installation, a race, but proved unequal to the occasion, for he won easily. Montana finished second, a City block before ¥i Fi, a 100 to 1 chance. d : Fanny Louise is fast losing the respect of the race-going people. She started a 3to5 favorite for the fourth race over seven furlongs, but after leading for over three parts of the journey stopped to a walk and finished unplaced. In a drive Two Bits got Collins, an 8 to 1 chance, in a head before Sligo, another outsider. There were but five starters in the mile and a half burdle race. Big things were expected of April, who was made an 8 to 5 favorite, but he made a sorry showing. Three Forks led until the stretch was reached the second tiuie, when J O C, who had second call in the betting, passed him and won by a length NOVEL ATTRACTION. Handicap to Be - Run on Wednesday Next. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club has pre- pared a most novel feature for the next Ladies’ day, Wednesday, December 11. Tt is a seven-furlong run with the nomina- tions and weights made by ladies, and has been named the ladies’ handicap. The conditions of the race are as follows: Seven furlongs, purse 500, of which $75 to second and $25 to third; entries to be made and weignts to be assigned by ladies nominat- ing horses for the race. In addition to the first, secona and third moneys of the purse, the Pacific Coast Jockey Club will present to the lady nominating the winner a bracelet valued at $100, to the lady nominating the second horse a bracelet valued at $60, presentation to Dbe made in grand stand after the race. The entries include the grandest array of sprinters that have ever met on 2 local track, as a glance at the list will show, including among them the record-breaker, Libertine, the sturdy Vinctor, Edward Corrigan’s great colt, Handsome, and the Realization winner, Bright Pheebus. - Fol- lowing is a list of the entries, with their jockeys and lady nominators: Ladies’ Nominator. | Homse. | Wi| Jookey.

No pains or expense will be spared to make it a pleasant day for the ladies. Johnny Lamle, who rode Fannie Louise, the favorite, for the fourth race yesterday, was indefinitely suspended by the judges. This mare is notorious for her ‘‘bucking- up’’ proclivities, and it is more than likely that when the afficials inquire more closely into the case the jockey will be exonerated from blame. The Australian starting machine brought to this country by Mr. F. de B. Lopez will be given a trial at Ingleside track to-day. ’Ighe San Francisco Club and Joe Ullman were the absentees from the block in the betting ring at yesterday’s cut-in. 118 T.

EMERIC'S PRESERVES. Trespa: Suit Which Was Dismissed at San . Pablo. H. Emeric, president of the S8an Pablo Duck-shooting Club, received a second de- feat vesterday in a trespass suit which had been brought by him against a hunter named Jones, who was detected in the act of shooting ducks on that part of the San Pablo marsh claimed by Emeric as his property. The prosecuting attorney had the case dismissed on the ground that the law, as it read, gave the hunter a right to shoot ducks on swamp and overflowed marsh lands. It was suggested to the attorney that the law, so far as the giving a hunter a right to shoot upon overflowed marsh lands, was considered unconstitutional, but the at- torney answered by saying that it was perfectly constitutional until proved other- wise by the courts. BUTTE CITY ATHLETES. The Great Northern Football Team Will Play Two Games Here, The Butte City football team will arrive in this City Monday, the 16th inst.,in a special car chartered for the occasion. The team will line up against the Reliance Club’s football eleven on the afternoon of Saturday, the 21st inst. It is said between twenty and thirty thousand dollars will accompany the Northern athletes, and that this money will be placed in wagers that the Butte City team will defeat the strong allzdbable football players of the Reliance o ] On the afternoon of the 25th inst. the Butte City and Olympic Club team .will try conciusions at Central Park, and the many friends of the ‘0.

The Reliance and Olympic players are now on the very best of terms and on Monday the Reliance Club boys will leave Oakland for this City, where they propose to remain until after their meeting with the Butte City team. Tne Reliance and Olympics will practice daily at Central Park, and it is thought that unless the in- vaders be in very good condition they will meet with another defeat by the Qak- land club. The Reliance football team will elect a captain 'I‘nes(lugi evening to the position left vacant by McMillan's recent alliance with the Butte eleven, and the Oakland men hope to have two practice games at Central Park before they face the Butte giants December 21. e e, e c— Under what was once Lake Angeline in Michigan are said to be the largest iron ore deposits ever discovered in the North- west.

THEY WON'T SELECT A FENDER Manager Vining of the Railway Com- pany Says He Awaits Their © Decision. The Board of Supervisors has wholly forgotten the fact that 1t passed an or- dinance compelling streetcar companies to place fenders on the carsthat have been ruthlessly maiming and killing men, women and children. Indeed, the Super- visors, or, to be more correct, their ma- jority familiarly known as the Solid Eight, have conveniently dropved the matter of streetcar fenders altogether. This action, or absence of action, for a protracted pe- riod after an opera-bouffe play of making a fender law and testing fenders has had the effect of placing the responsibility of all deaths and accidents through street- cars in the meanwhile upon the Board of Supervisors. Even the Market-street Railway Com- pany declares it cannot apply fenders to its electric or cable cars because the Super- visors have not determined what fender shail be used. The streetcar combine goes behind this convenient shelter. The ex- pense of a general fender system is thus saved—and every once in a while the com- munity is shocked by news of somebody killed or crippled for life under the wheels of a fenderless car. ‘When public opinion reached such a height through the incessant slaughter of { innocents and grown people by electrics cars throughout San Francisco the Board of Bupervisors made a show of interest in public affairs. It passed an ordinance re- quiring devices to be attached to street- cars for the protection of life. The City | breathed a sigh of relief; but this did not please the big railway corporation. What happened is a matter of history. The combine wes heard before the Solid Eight, with the resuit that the satisfactory ordin- ance was suspended pending a series of tests and investigations of various fenders. Out on West Mission street the railway men and Supervisors met on different oc- casions and saw an _electric-car mangle leathern lay figures with new appliances. None of the new fenders seemed to give satisfaction, and so the matter passed }:\le;ly out of the minds of the Solid ight. Some months have passed. Still the or- dinance remains suspended, and the Mar- ket-street Company has keen saved the expense of buying fenders and paying roy- alties. The old-style dashboard in front of a car was good enough, so the managers said, and that ended it with the Super- visors. General Manager Vining of the Market- street Company sald as much yesterday, practically admitting that the Supervisors have not acted all through in good faith with the people of San Francisco. “I've nothing new to tell about fenders,” he said. “I'm trying to catch'up since my return from the East. Really Idon't know what the Supervisors are doing. The whole matter is practically in their hands. They passed an ordinance requiring us'to do something that could not possibly be done, and we have been trying to comply with the law. They then suspended the ordinance that they might decide on a fender, but have done nothing since. *“If we put on new fenders now we would | simply have to take them off again should | the Supervisors conclude that the devices were not the kind desired. So you can understand our bands are tied in the matter. “The Supervisors have not found any fender so far tried to be satisfactory, and we have tried about adozen. The whole thing is in their hands and out of ours. ““We recommended three fenders to them and had those same guards on cars, but the Supervisors did not consider them sat- isfactory. One was a scoop like Clark’s fender attached to the truck beneath the car and coming down close to the track. | Another wss the Baltimore fender, which isin quite general use in the East. This is a double one, & scoop underneath and a scoop projecting in front. People claim it has saved many lives, while the fact is the persons saved were really knocked down by itand then caught in the projecting scoop. Men look at the body of the car and don’t notice the projection, particu- larly when it is close to their feet, but if there were no projection those men would in all probability escape. The fender un- derneath will catch a hand or foot, and then an arm or leg is liable to get under it. We also suggested that our present dashboard is quite as good as any fender vet tried. But these recommendations were not accepted. “We are ready and willing to put on any fender the Supervisors order immediately they select one and put the suspended or- dinance into effect. *We have received the Hunter fender from Cincinnati and another Eastern fender, the name of which I cannot now recall.” “When do you intend to give them a trial 2" “‘As soon as the Supervisors order a trial made. We are willing to get the best fender from the East or elsewhere, and give them a trial. I cannot say now when the newest fenders will be tried—that rests with the Supervisors. It is almost impos- sible to find anything that is really satis- factory.” ‘What will the Supervisors do before still another life may be on their hands? Jake and the Catamount. A great many people in Washington know old John Jacobs, the good-natured and lengthy Texan, who spends about three months of the year in Schmid’s bird- store and the remainder in Texas and Old Mexico, trapping mocking-birds, parrots and other things for his Washington prin- cipal. Those who know Jake know him as araconteur of no mean ability. Such of his friends—and the genial Jake, as has beer said, has many of them—w_lli be in- terested in a communication received from him yesterday by Mr. Schmid. i The letter deals mostly with the busi- ness part of the expedition, but there is a chapter devoted to telling how the writer did not capture a catamount. This isa literary gem, and is reproduced without addition or emendation, and as it stands is a worthy consort of some of the best efforts of Bret Harte. It says in part: “T just got back off my quail trip, gon 9 days got 40 quail, went way down on the Border th wildest Country I ever saw and I have saw some wilds before. But that Country takes the Cake.

I tied my pony to a tree and took down my rope and_the Mex clubbed him out. By the time he hit the'dirt and made two or three jumps 1 had my twine on him. When the rope tightened on him he made one scream and turned on me, and in less than the time it takes me to make one letter he had my shirt tore off “and most of the hide. Ihad a pistol on, but didn’t have time to get it. I needed another band; it's the first time I ever knew I was one hand. It took the two 1 had to keep the sun of a gun out of my face. The Mex took in the sitnation and ruu in with his knife and cut the rope and jerked it off me, and the old catamount went coyoting into the woods with part of my lariat to him. He can have it; 1 don’t want it. T’ll not dispute his claim to it nor try to rope another catamount with the piece I've got left. About the time the catte ‘was doing me I wished I was back feeding mocking-birds in Washington. I asked the Mex why he didn’t stick bis knife into the thing, but he said the cat and I were mixed up so he couldn’t tell us apart, and he was afraid he would get his bilet doux into the wrong animal. I’ve been longing to hunt a drugstore and some vaseline ever since.”—Washington Post. e George Muller, known all over the world bi his remarkable work, the Bristol or- phanages, and other works at home and aproad, has just passed his ninetieth birth- day. e is still vigorous, and is reported tobe in ‘excellent health.
