ADDRESSED THE SUPERVISORS. Attention Called to the Way in Which Property - Owners Are Telked Into Signing. Since the Board of Supervisors decided that no more street work should be done by private contract those who have made fortunes out of this class of work—the contractors—have been putting forth every effort to influence the Street Committee to reconsider the matter. A t the last meeting of the committee they argued the subjectlong and earnestly, though without definite results. The Merchants’ Association has takenfthe mat- ter up in the fear that the contractors may finally prevail upon the Supervisors to cnange their minds. . A communication on the subject. pre- pared by the association’s engineer, In which the matte: is treated at length and the Superintendent of Streets severely commented on, was sent to the board yesterday. It is as follows: In this private work the solicitor goes among the people on an entire street and endeayors to have them sign & private contract with him to do the work. If heisa good, plausible talker be secures some nemes, and by assiduously working may get the names of 21l the owners ou the block. If he cannot secure all he in some way gets the Supervisors to order the work done by public contract, end before the time expires in which the people can protest he gets the other names. - Some may be inclined to protest, but seeing that a majority has already signed a contract give in and go with the majority. Further proceedings_are stopped by the poard when & showing is made that three-fourths have elected to take up the work. ‘The ordering of the work done is effective in making people sign, but sometimes it does not have the desired effect or does not have to be resorted to. The thing which is first tried is to | possessing-the most infiluence and secure his | signature first. If he does not care to sign | some inducement is given him. Often this in- ducement is in the shape of aprivate agree- ment to Temit a great portion of the costs on his lot. 1n other words, if he signs first he will be exempt from certain payments. The other owners see his name and feel that if he can stand it they canalso. In fact they seem to feel that it is’ worth while paying for the im- provement 1n front of their little lots if the wealthy man can be made to pay for improving his portion. ‘They take & wicked sort of satisfaction in it without thinking that perhaps he has secured some great concessions—that the laugh is really on his side. ‘This will probebly account for the fact that the representatives of large estates uniformly favor the doing of street Wwork by private contract. The principal argument used to induce ople to sign private contracts is that of conomy. Theyare told that under the law they will have to pay for sdvertising, en- gineers’ fee end inspectors’ services. Unhder the private contract they save this. But the bills when turned. in show that the inspector and engineer must be paid and the only saving is in the advertising, the only item that would insure open competition. It is poor economy. Under the public contract the work is done to the specifications.prepared by the Super- visors and to the satisfaction of the Street Superintendent. When completed the street is accepted bf the City and perpetually main- tained. The law says the payment shall be at & uniform rate per.front foot. In private work the work is never done at a uniform rate. It is done to the satisfaction of the Street Super- intendent and is supposed to be done under the specifications governing public work.” I use the word supposed ad: MI}. In the recent trial of the Street Superintend- ent the Prosecuting Attorney reasoned that the same specifications governed the public and private contract work. When catled upon by the Judge to give his reasons he alleged done to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Streets, and also read from the generalor- ders of the Supervisors the requirements for all work done on accepted streets. The court ruled against him because the stréet was not accepted at the time the work was done. The people had entered into s private con- tract to put a main sewer and after the work was done the Superintendent did not accept it until all the owners had signed & paper that they were satisfied with the job. In his acceptance he stated that the work was done according to specifications and to his satisfaction. Yeton the trial his defense was that there were no specifications to follow ex- cept the people’s inclinations, and that there- fore the public specifications did not govern on private work. The Judge did not under- stand and the lawyers did notemake him un- derstend that the sewering of the street was an act preceaent to its ‘cce{’uuee bg the city. The property-owners would probably resent it if called upon to do the work agaiu before the street is accepted. Yet under the law it cannot be until the specitications are fully complied with. The people relied upon the Street Superintendent, and thefr aid an in- spector, but were then compelled to accept eir own job. As a matter of fact, most of the r work 1s done under private contracts. In public contracts the money is due when the Work is completed, but vime payments, the #o0 to the man owning the most frontage or 2 on private contracts, can be that the contract read that the work was to be | | arranged 1f o desired. | Supervisors has been refus | of the permits for work done under private | | contract the contractors who iive by such work | have been inserting in their contracts the | clause thet no payments will be expected or | become due until the Board of Supervisors or Mayor have formally accepted the street for | the City to maintain. This will be an improve- | ment, but it does not give the people justice. What is wanted is & perfectly impartial way | of doing the work, £o that the payments shall | be uniform per front foot. The communication will be considered | at the next meeting of the Street Com- mittee. LIFE AT CAIPLE CREEK, Thomas B. Everett's Story of the Wild Craze in the Stock Market. ce the Board of | pg to grant meny | 3 Has a Floating Population of 10,000 and Is Producing $950,000 in Gold Monthly. Thomas B. Everett of Cripple Creek, owner of the Mobawk Belle, Atlantic and other mines, 1s at the Grand. He formerly resided for some years in El Dorado and Placer counties, and was | the Republican nominee in the latter in | 1892 for member of the Assembly. Mr. Everett says the excitement at Crip- | ple Creek, Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo over the mining stocks of Cripple Creek is intense. In some of these places there are as many as four exchanges, and several of them have two calls each a day. “I never saw anything like it,” he said, “and it must result eventually in great in- jury to those who are gambling, but I do not think it will in any way hurt legiti- mate mining. There was first one ex- change at %enver and another at Colo- rado Springs. Now there are four at Colo- rado Springs, one at Cripple Creek and one at Pueblo; and now the %eal Estate Ex- change at Denver has listed mines and is having two calls a day. ‘‘Hitherto_the single exchange in Den- ver has handled as many as 1,800,000 shares in a day, the original exchange av Cripple Creek 800,000 shares in a day, and lately the four exchanges at Colorado Sorings have handled as many as 2,500,000 shares a day. Itisstrange how the excitement is running. “The Portland mine has been stocked | share being $1. for 2,000,000 shares, the par value of each selling at 30 cents.” Now it is up to $2 05, a par value for the mine of over $2,000,000. But I believe 1n this case that the mine is reaily worth it. It 1s the biggest one at Cripple Creek. Of course there are hun- dreds of properties on the stock market that are Wor:fiebuh a fraction of what the stock is selling for. “There are eight camps in the Crivple Creek district, having, in all, a population of about 20,000. The biggest is the camp of Cripple Creek, with about 6000. “About 4506 men are employed in the district, and they are producing about 000 in gold monthly. Some of the mines are shipping as much as 300 tons of ore a day each. The mill capacity is mn- sufficient and other mills are going up. “] presume there are over i00 paying mines there. Itis stated that there are 169 that would pay if the sejenite process was used in treating the ores. “The population is scattered over an area of about six by six miles. Of the 20,000 people I presume about 10,000 are per- manent and the other balf floating. It was, at first, a very wild re- gion, but it has settled down a good deal now. There is, of course, an occa- sional shooting, as in all camps. The alti- tude is about 9000 feet, but it is not very cold there, for the camps are protected by high mounutains, *The probability is that Cripple Creek will produce this “year $9,000,000, and the entire State $18,000,000. Colorado was orig- inally a gold State, and undoubtedly it is destined to rank so in future. I lcok for it to surpass California in gold. Then the miners, farmers and cattiemen stand to- gether. There are no fights between them, as in California, The cattlemen own mines, the ranchmen do, too, and the miners, again, buy ranches and gev inter- ested in cattle-growing. So they all work hand in hand. There is no framing of op- posing laws. “One thing that greatly aids Cripple Creek and all Colorado is the cheap rail- road rates. There are many roads, com- petition is strong and the people are aided in the development of the country, There is an abundance of coal. Smelting is at a low rate. There are many advantages over most other regions. Ore, coal and coke can be transported cheaply.” Mr. Everett was one of the organizers of the California Miners' Association here. He yesterday called on Jacob Webb, W. C. Ralston and several others of his old friends. They have been much interested in his story of the condition of things at Cripple Creek. He has aiready organized a company here to develop Cripple Creek properties. Mr. Everett left here for the wild camp of the Rocky Mountains in 1893, - A year ago the stock was | 1o reach SPLIT IN THE INSTITUTE: Demand Made for an Investiga- tion of the Pavilion Fair Finances. TROUBLE OVER LICK FUNDS. Members of the Mechanics’ Institute - Hold a Turbulent Meeting—Feel- 2 ing Runs High. +Forensic swords were drawn ‘from their scabbards and wielded right fiercely by such members of the Mechanics’ Institute as attended the quarterly .meeting held last evening. After an hour or more of such warfare H. Phillips threw an explo- sive into their midst in tae form of the following resolution: WHEREAS, It is necessary for the protection of the Mechanics’ Intitute property, giember- ship and organization that an investigation should be forthwith made by a committee of institute members into the finances of the institute; into the giving of official places and of privileges connected with™ the Mechanics’ Institute Annual Fair of 1895; into the alleged unconstitutionality and impracticability of the preferential system of voting for election of trustees; into the alleged mismanagement of the funds of the institute by trustees in the expenditure of 414,000 and odd,and the cutting off of im- portant rental income by the removal of the reading-room and library of the institute from their former position; into the loss of some 3500 volumes to the institute during the past five years, thiough theft and otherwise, into large losses of money sustained through the injudicious purchase of real estate at a fraudulently excessive price and its subse- quent shrinkage in value; theretore be it Resolved, That a committee of two life mem- bers, A. B. Spreckels and M. A. Wheaton, and the following regular members, Jared C. Hoag and J. T. McCrossen, are hereby appointed a committee of investigation, with full power to investigate and report back to the next meet- ing. Patrick Haley, who had shown a bellig- erent spirit prior to the introduction of this bomb, deprecated the use of the same, and said the strictures he had delivered earlier.in the evening applied, not to the present board of trustees, but to those who might follow. Attorney Reed characterized the intro- duction of the resolution as a cowardly act, and said that unless signed it shounld be ignored. Mr. Curaming spoke in the same vein, declaring that he had not 2 dime to show for his four years' service on the board. On the contrary he had lost thousands. Mr. Leggett said he courted rather than feared investigation. A vote on the adoption of the resolutions | resulted in an affirmative vote of 3 and a negative of more than 80. President Hallidie gave an earnest ad- dress before the close of the meeting, in which he said that any honorable attempt to bring about an investigation of his | record as an officer of the institute would have his hearty co-operation. He reported the proceeds of the fair were $10,500. Prior to his final stroke Mr. Phillips had stirred up the members by an amendment to the constitution requiring that vacan- cies in the board of trustees be filled by a direct vote.of the members, instead of their ratification or rejection of the nomi- nations made by the trustees. This provoked a long and wordy war, in which Mr. ~ Phillips, Patrick Haloy and Mr, Mazy participated on ona side and Messrs. Royer, Cummings, Plumb, Reed, Peat, Critch and Leggett on the other. The claim was made by Mr. Phillips and his confreres that the present constitution gave too great power in that direction, while the others contended that the trustegs knew more about the personal qualifications required for such service. There Were criminations and recrimina- tions. % : Mr. Haley, who was a defeated candidate, said the wishes of the members bad been thwarted as to choice of trustees by the existing provision, and ~Mr. Cumming Thurled back at him that he (Haley) had succeeded in defeating Oscar Lewis, one of -the best qualified candidates ever nomi- nated by the trustees. The amendment was lost by an over- whelming vote. E. H. Cole and B. F. Garrett were elected, there being but two or three dis- senting votes, to fill the present vacancies in the board. C. C. Webb, Asa B. Wells, A. B. Spreck- els, L. E. Phillips, J. T. McCrossen, J. C. Hoag, M. A. Wheaton and Mr. Vogel were nominated by the trustees, and A. S, Hallidie, Mrs. Susan M. Theall, Patrick Haley and B. F. Garreut, from the floor, for trustees for the ensuing term. The election wili take place at the next meeting. The question of moving the reading- room from *‘the subterranean regions.to its former quarters in the sky parlor,” as Reed put it, was lost, and a later one ask- ing the directors to consider the advisa- bility of such removal prevailed. Mr. Peat moved that the trustees take up the matter of the proper appropriation of the Lick bequest for its original purpose of expenditure for works on science and mechanics. The interest on the amount, which was applied upon ‘a debt, would nearly $9000, and should be used for the purpose designed by the tes- tator. The motion prevailed. e The largest sailing vessel in the world is the Potosi, a German vessel built in the yards at Lucklehborg and launched June 8 last. Ttis 426 feet 6 inches long, 52 feet 5inches broad and 32 feet 9mc§es deep. It has a capacity of 6150 tons. There were used in its construction 5,511,500 pounds of iroh. It will make regular trips to the western coast of South imeriua for salt- peter, and can carry about 13,227 bags of this salt.

Frank Kloss Must Hang fqr the Murder of William Deady. His Motion for a New Trial Finds Little Favor in the Eyes of the Court. The death sentence has been passed on Frank C. Kloss for the murder of William. Deady. A motion for a new trial made | upon & number of grounds and supple- mented by several affidavits was denied, | and Judge Babrs sentenced the prisoner to be hanged. Among the affidavits presented was one from Isaac Leipsic in which he repeated the tale previously published of how he had believed the verdict he rendered was for life imprisonment and not one allow- ing the death penalty. This affidavit was not allowed on file, as the court held that | Leipsic could not impeach hisown verdict. | Fred Frye also had an affidavit telling | how Leipsic had come up to him in the | corridor of the hall and had remarked that | Kioss’ life was saved, anyway, and how | he, when told the real purport of his| verdict, announced that he had not in-| tended to agree to such a result. This | affidavit was also thrown out on the ground that it was based on hearsay. Dr. Robbins came forward to tell how he | had treated Kloss after he had been hurt in the Orpheum Theater, and how he was of the opinion that no man taking todrink | after such an injury could retain bis | sanity. This third affidavit was also ruled | out because the defense had ample time to | call Dr. Robbins to the stand it they had wanted his testimony. Then the prisoner got upon his feet and | made a long speech assailing the foreman | of the jury and repeating a great deal | which was said by Leipsic—how the fore- man had forced the repentant juror to sign an erroneous. verdict, and how the entire | jury was vrejudiced against him. His ad- | ‘dress to the court availed him but little, | however, and.at its conclusion the motion was denied and Kloss was sentenced to be hanged, 4 Kioss’ crime was committed” April 18 | last. "He entéred a saloon on Hayes street one eveuinfi, and seeing Deady asleen near | the door, he said, “I'll wake him up,” | and then with an oath he drove a cheese- knife into Deady’s throat. Deady bled to | death in a very few minutes, and_ Kloss is | now sentenced to die for the crime. ———— Recent post-mortem examinationsof the | bodies of the blind reveal the interesting | fact that in the nerves at the ends of the | fingers well-defined cells of gray matfer | had formed, identical 1n substance and in | {:’ell_iormation with the gray matter of the | rain. | 'what is lost, | every tende Don’t measure vour [ife by € but measure your life by what yon ean gain or re- gain.
