The fortunate nominators of the first two horses past the wire will be presented with an elegant bracelet in the grand stand at the conclusion of the race. The gate is free to ladies to-day. McHugh, who rode All Over in the fourth race, was set down for incompe- tency. Sam Doegett, the noted jockey, accom- panied by his wife, arrived from the East last night and registered at the Palace Hotel. Heis under engagement to ride the horses of George E. Smith (Pittsburg Phil). George Wheelock bet all the bookmakers in the ring to a standstill on Olive, and Riley Grannan followed suit. Grannan also had his coin down heavily on Basso. There was a bit of an entanglement to the second race that, while it proved somewhat expensive to the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, established them on a siill firmer basis with the race-going public. Imp. Endymion, one of the second choices in the betting, finished in the place, but the number on the saddle cloth became rumpled, and as the gelding flashed by the stand the judges mistook the number for that of Elsie, a 100 to 1chance, and placed her second. The caller made his arnouncement and the bookmakers began paying off. Imp. Endymion’s owners entered a protest and, discovering their error. a second announcement was made giving the place to Endymion. All tlfi money on Elsie, place and” show bets, thal had been paid was made good to the books by the Pacific Coast Jockey Club. The string of fourteen borses brought to California by Matt Byrne’s trainer for Marcus Daly, the Montana turfman, are all yearlings with the exception of two. Norman Brough is no_longer the official | handicapper for the California Jockey | Club, his office having been declared | vacant by the directors of that club. Itis rumored that Judge Joseph J. Burke, who officiated in the stand at the Bay District, will in fature assign the weights. CHEAP THOROUGHBREDS. Closing-Out Sale of the Estate of Colonel H. I. Thornton. The closing-out sale of the stallions, { brood mares and vearlings owned by the estate of Colonel Henry I. Thornton took | place at Killip & Co.’s salesyard, corner Market street and Van Ness avenue, last evening under electric light. The bidding was not spirited and the prices realized were in most instances low. Imp. Mariner brought the highest price of the sale, being knocked down to George Poorman for $2300. Daggy Smith got So- brante for $175. Fairfax, a brother to Don Carrillo, went to John Robbins for $625. The same bidder also got El Quito, a sister to Mollie R, for $140. John Mackey paid $900 for Miss Maggie M, a bay filly by imp. Midlothian, from Trick Opomea, a filly by imp. Mar- tenhurst, dam Moonflower, went to J. B. Reis for $300. Some of the other sales were: Narcola, b. m., by Norfolk-Ada C, $680, G. Poorman; Marin, ch. m., by Thad Stevens-Car- rie C, $300, W. 8. Hobart: Marmette, b. m., by imp. Partisan W. 8.

The Fight for the Colonelcy Becoming Interesting — The Armory Problem. The superior commanders who effected the rezimental reorganization of the Na- tional Guard in the City on last Saturday are now considerably concerned over the bitter feeling which the consolidation of rival companies has engendered. In mak- jing the battalion formation a number of the companies were ordered to combine their membership rolls and hereafter do military service in double strength and under command of a captain designated at headquarters. The companies selected for this compulsory amalgamation have not taken kindly to the scheme and sev- eral serious rows are already in progress. Captain Shafer is one of the officers who vizorously object to the comsolidation. Shafer was the commander of Company D of the First Infantry before the reorgani- zation. Under the provisions of the new order his company 1s merged into B of the old regiment and consequently loses its identity and its officers. The men of what was formerly Company D are up in arms against the forced combination. They hold that such action was entirely unwarranted, and that their strength, efficiency, history and promise of success should e counted in their favor. Captain Shafer was at the California Hotel yesterday and interviewed General Wartieid about the trouble. To a CALL re- porter he said: “We were not given a fair deal. It wasan outrageous piece of busi- ness all around, and if there’s any way to get out of the mess my men and I_propose to do so. I have seen General Vcnrfield and he {lells me I will have to see the Adjutant-General, It wasn’t a square deal by any means. They talk of having selected companies with records and etfi- cient members for continued service in the guard. It’s all rank nonsense. My com- pany has a record which will compare favorably with that of any company in the service. For over thirty years it has been doing good work and now it is thrown out to make place for companies far below it in the ccale of military efficiency. It was not a square deal. But then Company D is not quite dead yet.” The fight for the colonelcy of the new infantry regimentis already waxing vigor- ous. In the old Second Artillery the of- ficers have declared themselves in favor of Colonel Macdonald, except Captain O'Neill, who has not committed himself to a selec- tion. Part of the former First Infantry will have Colonel Bush and Lieutenant- Colonel Crocker in the race. The “Nationals” are understood tQ be out for Tilden, who was once captain of Company G. In the battalion which remains of the Third Infantry, Colonel O'Connor and Lieutenant-Colonel Smith have friends who will place them in line. Lieutenant-Colonel Geary is looked upon as a likely candidate. Colonel W. P. Snl- livan may be entered in the fight, and there are others about whom not much isyet known. From all indications the contest will be more exciting and memorable than any ever held in the National Guard. he matter of an armory for the 12- company regiment is another topic of lively discussion. At present there is no building large enough to accommodate the entire force. Itis believed, however, that the board of location will direct that the companies of the old First Regiment, which are now at Market and = Tenth streets, remove to the armory at Page and Gough streets. The two companies of the old Third, now on Golden Gate avenue, will be sent to the Nationals’ armory on Ellis street. This errangement will locate the regiment in two armories, eight com- panies quartering on Page street and four on Eilis street. —————————— GoLp pens and pencil-holders, fountain-pens, inkstands, office-calendars, cash and bond boxes, billbooks and letter-cases make nice presents for gentlemen.

THE INSTITUTE TRUSTEES, Lawyer Phillips Threatens to Bring Them Before the Grand Jury. HE WILL PUSH HIS CHARGES, Joseph Leggett Has Something to Say About the Lick Dona. tion. L. Ernest Phillips, the attorney who ata meeting of members of the Mechshics’ In- stitute introduced a resolution looking toward an investigation of the affairs of that institution, announces that, notwith- standing the failure to adopt the measure, he proposes to push the matter, and if the trustees do not order an investigation he will bring it before the courts and the Grand Jury. He also announces tha t it is the purpose to secure five new trustees to replace an equal number now in tbe board, but that Andrew Hallidie and Grove P. Ayers are not of the five. “Discouraged by the vote taken on the motion to adopt the resolution last Satur- day night?”’ repeated Mr. Phillips yester- day, “No, sir; not at all. On the con- trary, we intend to push this matter and inquire into every charge that was con- tained in the resolutionsthat were offered, and if we cannot get the trustees to order aninvestigation we will carry the matter into the courts and then before the Grand Jury. The institute is run by the solid tive—no, [ should say the solid four, as there is one that is on the fence, and we propose to elect five trustees who will con- duct the affairs in the interest of the mem- bers. “By we,” said Mr. Plillips in reply toa question, I refer to two other very promi- nent members of the institute who are with me in this movement, but whose names I do not care to divulge at this time for prudential reasons. It was at their instance that I presented the resolu- tion, with the understanding that not a word should be said in favor of it. It was just as a feeler to see who would favorit and who would oppose it. I have the names of all who opposed it. Is it not a little strange that a body of men, trustees of an institution like this one, should oppose a proposition to hold an investigation when such charges are made? “we propose to have all the charges | looked into; we want to find out what has become of the 4000 or more books that have disappeared in five years. I only charged 35600, in order to be safe within the limit. We want to know why $105,000 was paid in 1879 for the Folsom-street property, which was not worth $50,000 at that time and is not worth that now. We want to know why $i4,464 was paid for alterations in the Post-street building when there are half 2 duzen competent men will- ing to make aflidavit that the same could be made for $10,000, and we want to learn about the distribution of patronage, and | on that point we will present one if nct a number of affidavits. “As far as I am concerned I have no fear in this matter, as I am a life member of the institute. Leggett and Cummins are running the affair on the single-tax prin- ciple, and by the preferential system they bave introduced and the Congressman Maguire ideas they want to perpetuate themselves in office. “Many of the books, I believe, were lost through neglect of the librarian’s assist- | ants. We propose, also, to secure the li- brarian so that he cannot be removed ex- cept by a vote of the members. Now heis under the direction of the trustees, and they force him to do just what they want.” During the meeting on Saturday there was an intimation that there were good reasons why some of the trustees had re- signed. Of these Marsden Manson re- signed because he had received a Govera- ment appointment and could not devote his_time to the institute. The others who resigned were H.T. Bush, Will E. Fisher and Barelgy. Mr. Fisher said that he resigned because be was in the minority in the board. “That is,”” said Mr. Fisher, *‘the minds of the majority were not in touch with mine and I came to the conclusion that it would be useless for me to waste my time at meetings. Ido not want any one to think Iam acrank because others do not agree with me, nor do I wish to be understood as attacking the honesty and integrity of the members of the board, Iam still a member of the institute and intend to re- main one until I die.” Trustee Joseph Leggett said that the whole matter was a tempest in a teapot, produced by Phillips, who warnted to keep before the people. *‘This man,” he said, ‘“‘wanted to be a trustee once and he made all sorts of promises and had slips of pa- per printed telling what he would do and how he would have an elevator built for the benefit of the ladies, and I know not what, but he was not elected. “In regard to the money contributed by James Lick for the purchase of mechanical and scientific books, that was a matter that_this board had nothingto do with; but I will say that while the bouks have been purchased a mistake was made in not placing some mark on them to show that they were purchased with the donation. That much at least was due to the donor. Of course, a portion of this moneg was used to pay off an indebtedness; but by using the money that way a great deal of interest was saved. Still the money should have been borrowed, as the university bor- rows from its separate funds. I do not be lieve that there was anything wrong in the whole transaction. “Now, about the resignation of the trus- tees. Those gentlemen will no doubt give their reasons when asked. Mr. Barclay, one of them, who had been placed on the committee on music and decoration, sug- gested a plan of decoration that had been adopted at Santa Cruz—that of placing bunches of colorea paver in meshes of wire—and his suggestion was adopted. The work was started, but 1t appeared that if continued the Pavilion would be the laughing stock of the City, and it was stopped. The gentleman found consider- able responsibility resting on his shoul- ders, so he resigned. ““The charge of books having been stolen from the shelves; if true, is one that should not have been made, because it is susgest- ing to evil-minded people that there 1s a place where they can steal books. “The fact that only three or four mem- bers voted for the resolution is proof that they did not attach much importance to it. There is nothing that this board nas any fear of, and most of the matters in the resolution refer to previous boards.” P. J. Healy, who was present at the meeting and will be a candidate for trustee at the next election. said that Phillips iy an agitator who always wants to come to the front, He defended the preferential system, declaring thau it prevents the for- mation of parties or cliques, and that any member who can obtain the signatures of twenty-five members in good standing can be a candidate, and his name must be placed on the ticket. “That system prevents men from per- petuating themselves in office, for it gives every one a chance, but last year, out of 4000 members, only fourteen took advan- tage of that system. Phillips is wild when he charges that 3500 books have disap- peared from the shelves. I believe that some time ago figures were presented which show the number is under 1000 since the institute library was opened. As to the purchase of the Folsom-street prop- erty, Ido not believe that there was any corruption in the purchase. The same board that bought that bought the Larkin- street lot, and what may have been Jost on the one has more than been made up by the increase in value of the other. The Folsom-street property, I think, will rise in value when the cars run along Six- teenth street to the Potrero.” A LUCKY MISTAKE. Charles Ward, Charged With Bribexy, Scores a Point. The case of Charles W. Ward, convicted by the Stockton courts of having bribed one of the Supervisors, has been remanded to the Buperior Court by the Supreme Court with instructions to sustain the de- murrer to the indictment which had pre- vionsly been overruled. The indictment was demurred to on the ground that it did not charge any specific act of bribery, but merely in general terms alleged that the defendant had “bribed” a certain Supervisor to do a certain thing. It must be shown, tbe Supreme Court holds, that there was a felonious act, and this must be shown in explicit terms. The demurrer is therefore ordered sustained. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. Williamson Tells Why Typhoid Fever Cases Were Reported. Dr. The Statement in a Morning Paper That Typhus Fever Was Epi- demic Is Incorrect. The twenty-five cases of typhoid fever reported to the Board of Health, from De- cember 3 to 9, inclusive, have not created any undue excitement in the ranks of the practicing physicians. One reason for this is found in the fact that there are no records by which the present situation can be judged. It is only within the past two weeks that the Board of Health, at the request of Dr. William- son, notitied the physicians to report all typuoid fever cases coming under their no- tice. There are some who think that in a city as large as San Francisco twenty-five cases in six days is not sufficient cause for alarm, though there are others who claim that if the record is correct there must be something wrong, either in the sanitary condition of the City or in its food sup- ply—meaning by this, milk and water. “It is only within the last two weeks that the physicians have been notified to report all typhoid cases,”” said Dr. Wil- | liamson yesterday. ‘It impossible for me to say whether twenty-five cases in six days is an abnormal number or not, be- cause there are no recoras by which com- parisons can be made. ‘“There has been so much talk about im- pure water and adulterated milk that it was thought advisable to keep a record of diseases most largely influenced by them. It is impossible to tell at this time whether the cases reported to the Board of Heslth are due to either one or both these causes. | On the other hand, it is ?uite possible that the sanitary condition of the places where fever has been reported is the responsible agent. All these matters are being inves- tigated, and a report will be made as early as possible.” r. Williamson further stated that in view of the fact that typhoid cases came from all parts of the City it was quite probable the real cause would be found in the use of impure water. The cases so far reported were found on the following streets: Ells, Valley, Guer- rero, Willow avanue, First, Sanchez, Oak, | Eleventh, Greenwich, Devisadero, Cres- | cent avenue, Wood, Eddy, German, Fol- som, Fulton, Franklin and Hickory ave- nue. Nine of the cases are under 20 years | of age, two being 4 years old, one 7 and a | third just 15. In five cases reported no | age ie given. The largest number came in | December 5, seven being reported on that |day. On the day following five cases | came in. The statement made in a morning paper that typhus fever was epidemic in this City is entirely erroneous, There has been no typhus fever in San Francisco during the present year.

ROBBED HIS FELLOW-ROOMERS. He Tried to Poison Himself and Will Now Have to Answer a Charge of Burglary. 8. F. 0’Mally, 512 Bush street, swore out a warrant in Judge Conlan’s court yester- day for the arrest of Sebastian Rameis on the charge of burglary. Rameis is the son of a planter in Guate- mala and came here about a year ago to finish his education. He engaged rooms at 707 Post street and was looked upon by his fellow-roomers as a nice youth. It was not long before they began to miss articles of jewelry and money from their rooms. J. O’'Nell, a horseman, had a $20 gold piece stolen out of his trousers pocket while he was asle-p. Christian F. Petersen, a clerk, had his gold watch and chain, diamond ring and $80 in coin stolen from the top of his dressing table. 0’Mally fared worse than the others. A box in his room was forced open and a | gold watch and chain, two gold rings, two gold crosses, a shamrock pin, a silk muf- fler and valuable papers stolen. Suspicion fell upon Willie Hynes, a boy who used to do oad jobe around the house. Willie left for Stockton about three months ago, and that confirmed the suspicton. He was arrested ana brought back to this City, but he was able to show conclusively that he was not the thief, and the case against him was dismissed. All this tie no suspicion attached to Rameis, as it was not thought that the son of a wealthy planter would do such a thingi Last Thursday, however, O’Mally met Rameis and discovered that he bad his silk mufiler around his neck. He charged Rameis with stealing it and threatened to have him arrested. Rameis protested his innocence and got away from O’Mally as quickly as possible. e hur- ried to his room at 707 Post street, and preferring death to being publicly dis- graced be swallowed a dose of arsenic. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital and Dr. Fitzgibbon applied the usual rem- edies and saved his life. The emetics had to be administered by force as Rameis re- fused to swallow them, saying he wished to die. The fol!owi? day he was sent to the City and County Hospital, where he is slowiy recovering. As soon as he has sufficiently recovered he will be locked up in the City Prison, Besides the muffler 0’Mally says he has other positive evidence that Rameis was the thief. Petersen will also probably swear out a warrant against him for grand lar- ceny as he has witnesses who saw Rameis wearing that diamond ring that was stolen from bim. Arrested for Passing Counterfeit Money. A long-haired proprietor of & shooting- gallery, J. F. Folster by name, was arrested on complaint of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith of 120 Gren iavenue yesterday by Secret Service Agent Harris for passing_counterfeit money. 1o was committed to jail by United. States Commissioner Heacock in default of $500 bonds pending his preliminary examination, which will oceur to-morrow morning. Smith, who is a restaurateur, says Folater passed a bad dollar on him, and Mrs. Smith says he suc- ceeded 1n inducing her to accept a counterfeit half doller. Folster's shooting-gallery was next door, and according to his neighbors in the restaurant business Folster was having considerable success in passing the «queer” upon such of his patrons as had anything like a ““hayseed” appearance.
