The Charge of Criminal Libel Is Made Against Mr. Fleming. ABUSED HIS OFFICIAL TRUST.

Director Wadham in his report to the society called the attention of the board of directors to the fact that he did not think Mr. Fleming a capable man to fill the po- sition of superintendent of the Animals’ Home, for reasons stated in his report. I then informed Mr. Fleming that I should put him on the wagon driving. This he refused flatly to do, wherenpon I informed him his position would be va- cant if he did not comply with my orders. Mr. Fleming d I discharged him be- caiise he voted against me as a director. How absurd that is. How should I know Yiow he cast his vote? He also c1aims I called him foul names, which is another falsehood. He speaks of committees appointed by the board as “so- t e an.insult to the reputabie gentlemen that were they being old residents of this town, repu- ‘table, well-known men. "~ He claims [ charged too much for articles, which I explained in the meeting on’ November 7. Yiave a set of ruffians in the Pound as deputies. i : T would state I have six deputies, three f whom were there ever since I was, be- ppointed by John Partridge. Itseems strange that at this late day he is just ‘tinding out that they are ruffians. In fact, all his charges have been made since his discharge. o = Mr. Fleming’s position was saperin- dent of the Animals’ Home and it was -his duty to report to me any irregularities “inany shape or form which happened at the Animals’ Home, so that I could rectify thém. But not a single one did he report to me. He biings these charges all since his discharge. The faci of the whole -‘business is they are the waudenng thoughts of a disgruntled “sore,head. ‘backed up by another ‘‘sorehead,” John - Partridge. b “.With regards to the foot-scraper, billed at'$2 50, I would say this bill was_correct, for the foot-scraper was delivered to the Animals’ Home, but Mr. Foster thought it was too large for the place it was to.oc- ¢upy as the teams driving in and oat would break it. So he sent the scraper back for & smaller one, making no memoradum of the return of it for the smaller one, yvhlcle he - as .superintendent of the Animals Home shoula have done.

An officer of the law had him under suveil- ance for weeks, endeavoring to satisfy his | suspic a similar nature to those which are agita- ting the public at present.- With - regard to the accusation of the Stacey horse being kept for use at the Ani- mals” Home, will say the same is another direct falsehood. The horse was never used by any emplove of the Animals’ Home, and 1 challenge any one to prove it. After the investigation of the Stacey matter I had an interview with Mr. Stacey, and he told me the exact circumstances of the case and acknowledged to me that he exonerated me from all blame in the | matter. | . So far as hiring deputies on commission, I have the legal right to do so. As far as the blind horse is concerned, it was bought at a cost of $100, and I am ready to leave it to any horseman in San Franciscolthat, although he may be blind, he is worth $100 to any one, notwithstanding the assertion to theé conirary of John Partridge.

Barnes, Di trict Attorney, will personally conduct the case against Mr. Ashworth, and special care will be taken to secure an intelligent and impartial jury. Itis believed that the “jury will be selected in the regular man- ner. In the first case against Mr. Ash- | worth Judge Murphy ignored the 1200 names in the regular box and directed the Sheriff to issue a venire for-jurors to tr that pagticular case. Some members of the Grand Jury were | greatly disappointed when Judge Murphy announced this departure from the usual | custom and did not hesitate to predict that | the jury so secured would deal gently with the Superintendent. | Of the cighteen members present Friday | afternoon only three voted against the accusation. These three were Messr: | Leaventritt, Groom and Kerr. Leaventritt voted for the ori t ion, but was convinced by h te- sh- nd attorney y of Mr. Ashworth, that a conviction could not be obtained. 0.

A FACTORY TO BE ERECTED. | Cars Propelled by the Motor to Be Placed Upon the New San Luis Obispo Line. A compound motor, to be used for pro- | pelling streetcars, has been invented and | perfected by B. L. Ryder of this City, | which promises to revolutionize the sys- | tems which are now in common use and | particularly the dangerous and expensive trolley system. The motor in question is propelled by front starting at the foot of Broadway baving been used for ‘this purpose. On'the first few trips made by the car from twenty to thirty passengers were carried with ‘ease, and although the track is but little over a quarter of a mile longa speed of fully twenty miles an hour was attained during the initial speeding trials of this modern passenger carrier, This car in question is about fourteen feet long and weighs slightly over six tons, is lighted throughout by electricity, and taking it all in all it is as comfortable a dummy as any of those upon the old established lines. 4 These cars, furnished with this new sys- tem of Jocomotion, will climb the same grades with less effort than the trolley-car, and another advantage which is particu- Jarly noticeable is the silence with which the car runs even at its highest speed, Another advantage embodied in this new motor is that no power-house or machine other than that carried by the car itself is necessary, and the motor can be d in either open or combination cars; fact it can be attached to the old cable-cars of defunct lines, of which there are mnn{ein this State, which in the end would be a great saving to any corporation which might wish o re-establish a deserted route. B. L. Ryder, the inventor of the motor, owns an interest in the San Luis Obispo Street Railway Company, a recent corpo- ration, which at the present time is build- ing a railway in_the city from which th corporation took its name, and as soon ay | | | THE NEW ELECTRIC MOTOR TO BE USED ON THE PROPOSED LINES, | compressed air, five cylinders being used | | driving-wheels of the car. A set of air compressors driven by a storage battery. though miniature in size, but neverthel | | capable of compressing the air in the | | storage tanks to a great density, is situated | } under the body of the forward portion of | the car. A dynamo, which;is propelled | | while the car is in motion, restores the | batteries, virtuglly making she machine a | contrivance run by perpetual motion, but | after a five or six days’ run, it becomes Ty to rec ge the storage battery with the dynamo run by power other than bed by the moving car. fact lies the secret of the motor asa third power is used for this purpose,and as the motor is not completly protected by | adverse to divulging this secret until he is certain that other in- ventors cannot - infringe upon his i tion. A car upon which this motor been applied has been combleted, and a thorough test made of its running a % a stretch of deserted track along the water patents Mr. Ryder the railroad is completed cars propelled Ly this new motor will be placed upon the line in preference to the other systems. The San Luis Obispo Street Railway will run from the Southe Pacific “depot across the city to the courthouse, a mile of the line being already completed. Another line will commence at the Hotel Ramona | and have its terminus at the city ceme- tery, these two lines passing all the bu. ness points and pleasure resorts through- out the surrounding country. Another railr will be erected from the railroad station at Palo Alto, passing the Stanford Uni and having its terminus at deep water, which is distant from the station about three miles As there are about 1200 students in Stan- ford University who'are desirous of some means of easy a s to the beach, there is no doubt but that the line will be a popu- lar and profitable one. Outside parties were not slow to see that the beach, at which the line will terminate, will be- come a popular resort, and contracts have v been lef for the erection of bath- houses and other accommodations neces- sary for the comfort of pleasure-seekers. Mr. Ryder is under contract to start work on the Palo Alto line by the first of ’ January, and left last night for San Luis Obispo to arrange for the erection of this line and the compietion of the San Luis Obispo bernch. The S8an Luis Obispo line will be incorporated and bonded within a few days, which will greatly hasten its completion. Thae Palo Alto line will simply be incorporated. John Parkinson of the Parkinson Lum- ber Companv of Palo Alto will build a wharf on Palo Alto’s new water front, and also erect a planing and saw-mill for the Km-pose of dressing Oregon lumber, which e will have sent to him by the shipload, and this fact, taken in connection with the bathing resort for the univerzity students, will,without doubt, insure the success of the new railway. A corporation,with Mr.Ryder as its president, will shortly erect a factory in this City, in which the Ryder motor and the cars will be manufactured, and as soon as this factory is completed Eastern rail- road companies will be negotiated with in regard to the adopting the new motor upon their lines. AGAIN AFTER ASHWORTH The Civic Federation Will Pros- ecute Him a Second Time. Prospects Favorable That No Non- Partisan Ticket Will Be Named Next Year. The Grand Jury Las found another cause for accusation against Superintendent of Streets Ashworth, which will be put in legal form by the District Attorney in the course of a few days. This prosecution will be pushed with re- newed vigor by the Civic Federation, which body has authorized and instructed I. J. Truman to employ special counsel to as- sist the District Attorney in the prosecu- tion of the case. Mr. Truman, acting un- der these instructions, has employed M. 8. Woodham to represent that body before the Superior Court. It would be acceptable to this organiza- tion if Judge Sanderson would assign the case to Judge Wallace's court, where all concerned would obtain a sound judicial interpretation of Mr. Ashworth’s Tespon- sibility in accepting public work claimed by some people to be of an inferior qual- ity, although passed by his sworn deputies. Over what action the Civic Federation will take in the campaign of next year, opinions of the members are somewhat at variance. It was the intention of this organization at its formation, a few months since, to es- tablish political clubs in the various As- sembly districts with the view of putting an independent ticket in the feld for municipal officers. But since that time some of the members have changed their opinions and are somewhat disposed to wait and watch what the Republicans and Democrats will do in the matter of organ- izing clubs. It is argued by some of the members that with a man of such a clean political career as John D. Spreckels and one who has no other objectin view than that of giving the City a good, clean, economical administration, together with the hope that the new charter will be adopted gy the people, there will be no necessity of putting a noc-partisan ticket in the field. Osborne Libel Suit. The warrant for the arrest of John B.Flem- ing, ex-superintendent of the Public Pound, upon a charge of criminal libel, was eworn to by F. A. Osborne, the City poundkeeper, in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning. The alleged libel was contained in an article pub- lished in THE CALL on December 15. ORDAINED T PRIESTHOOD Five Students of the Dominican Monastery Admitted to the Clergy. AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY. The Archbishop Administers the Holy Orders at St. Mary's Cathedral. The sacred orders of the priesthood were conferred upon tive graduates of the Do- minican Monastery, Benicia—Revs. Pius Driscoll, Reginald Thompson, Paul Henry, Vincent Lamb and Francis Barrigan—by Archbishop Riordan at St. Mary’s Cathe- dral yesterday morning. The ceremony occupied the hour begin- ning at 7 o’clock and was witnessed by a number of visiting priests and a large con- gregation of people, among whom were the parents and friends of the applicants. The Archbishop was assisted by Rev. Har- rington, O. P., Rev. Wilson, O. P., Rev. Martin, O. P., and Revs. Byrne, Harrigan, Mulligan, McGinty and White. Without, the sky was leaden and a heavy rain was falling, rendering the morning gloomy and dismal. Within, the bright lights that shone from the altar hike stars from the heavens, the | white-robed priests moving solemnly about, the bowed heads of the congregatea witnesses combined to present an impres- sive scene rarely witnessed. The formal request addressed to the offi- | ciating Archbishop for the admission of the | five young men inio the ranks of the clergy was listened to with deep interest. Finding that all the %reliminary require- | ments of ordination had been complied witn, the archbishop addressed a long ex- hortation to the candidates upon the re- sponsibilities they were about to assume. At the conclusion of the exhortation there followed the recitation of the litanies and the hymn “Veni Creator,” the young priests for the greater portion of the time during the recitation, lying prone be- fore the altar. Archbishop Riordan and | the attendant priests then formed a circle around the kneeling candidates, and ex- | tended their hands over the young men in- | voking upon them the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. It was a solemn moment, the most im- pressive in the rites being celebrated. The bowed wershipers bent low in their pews, joiningl: in silent prayer for the bless- | ings of long life and successful priesthood for their young friends. The young priests were then anointed with holy oil, the book of mass and the chalice placed in their hands, while appropriate prayers were said. Finally they were clothed with the sacred robe, a garment familiar to all who have attended the sacrifice of the mass. During the ceremony the Archbishop | celebrated mass, and as the ordination ceremony prouer preceded the more sacred parts of the mass, the newly ordained priests united with the Archbishop in all prayers of the solemn rite. At the conclusion of the mass the people moved forward from the body of the house and proceeded to the altar-rail, following each other in procession, where they knelt and received the blessings of each of the five young men, now fully ordained to the priesthood. To-day, being the Sunday next following | their ordination, each of the young priests January 5. aitle a few days before. of the same by three works will be on exhibition. will celebrate his first mass in the church and at the altar of his own selection, and in the ir"en“ of the members of his fami is {friends, acquaintances and neighbors who desire to witness his entry upon the priesthood. These new priests are all of the Dominican order and will be assigned to duty either at Benicia, the bead of the order, or in San Francisco at St. Dominic’s Church. PHASES OF NERVOUSNESS. Elements of Modern Life Which Tend to Produce Nerve Disenses. Dr. John A. Miller lectured before the members of the Mechanics’ Institute and their invited iriends last evening upon “Some Phases of Nervousness in Men and ‘Women in Modern Life.” Hesad: The agreeable feeling of the soul or mind which a realization of our hopes end desires produces constitutes contentment. The op- portunity of social, political and intellectual equality which present themselves arouses an ambition which will not brook restraint. And this makes contentment impossible. Ani- mated beings do not constitute the exceptions as once supposed, but like everything else are ub. {f“ to external physical condi tions. The mental and nervous strain of the day in many cases impairs the organism and produces the disorder known as neurasthenia. Itis not easy to define nervousness, but it has been pretty well described by the synonym nerve- less. It is a lack of nerve force. The causes of nerve impairment include every adverse con- dition known to hygiene. The children of active brain workers are very apt to start in life handicapped by impaired nerve force. In the army of neurasthenics women generally predominate, and this is largely due to their early training. Giris generally miss the whole some stimulus of fresh air “‘hfch youths enjoy. The voice of the earnest physician should be raised against that specialized education too often pursued in our seminaries where the emotions are unduly cultivated with resulting hysteria and kindred disorders. Preventive medicine of so great value theo- retically remains in the background while cur ative medicine does its best at patchwork. You should not lightly enter upon a university course or any lifework requiring a great exs penditure of nerve force. A common type of nervous women is that of women who have failed of all the ambitions that womanhood holds dear. Another cause of nervousness is unhappy marriages. The in- voluntary discipline which men undergo in the battle-life partially prepares them for al- most any shock, but So many women are so tenderly reared 'or cared for that they are ut- terly unprepared for the catastrophy, and seem never to recover from it. - The existence of nervous people is often made miserable by a constant feeling of ex- haustion. This sense of fatigue indicates a temporary derangement of the nerves. Fatigue is the prayer of tired nerves for rest. Nervous genple can often control their nervous crises v an effort of the will. The terrible consump- tion of alcoholic liquors, morphine and similar drugs is one of the growing evils of the day due to the clamorous demand of & certain class of nervous people who demand a speedy abfilishment of their pain regardless of future evils. A change to the country, where the worry | and wear of business, and where good fresh food can be procured without the work of pre- paring it, is the great cure for nervous exhaus- tion 10 people of moderate means. There has been too l(.lnilln inclination to ignore nature’s curative methods and aitack disease as a mid- night marauder with drugs and medicines. This I believe is a superstition. Rest.and nature can repairan otherwise irreparable in- jury. ————— St. John’s New Pastor. Rey. 5. J.
