6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY THEIR ROMANCE RUDELY ENDED, Two Pretty San Francisco Girls Who Ran Away From Home, DETAINED AT OAKLAND. They Were Bound for Stockton and It Is Supposed They Intended to Elope. GOOD ADVICE OF A PRIEST. Father chSweeney, Summoned to Talk to the Girls, Persuaded Them to Return. OARLAND OFrFicE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Feb. 1. What might have been an unhappy romance was prevented last night by the good counsel of Rev. Father McSweeney, pastor of St. Francis de Sales Church. Owing to the clargyman’s advice two at- tractive young ladies of good family are now with their parents at the Mission in San Francisco instead of being partici- pants in a projected runaway or possibly in an elopement to Stockton, Early in the evening two good-looking young ladies were noticed wandering about Fruitvale, seemingly with no object in view. They walked up and down the same streets and attracted considerable attention in the district, which is a suburb of Oakland, and where strangers are some- what scarce. It was evident to Constable Quinlan that the young ladies were out for no good purpose, and he questioned them. As they refused to tell him whothey were and where they came from, he took them into custody. Both girls were sbout 16 years old and were elegantly dressed. They gave proof in their conversation of good breeding and conducted themselves very modestly. Constable Quinlan did not care to release them, so he brought tbem to the County Jail. Sheriff White questioned the two girls, but they would not divuige their‘names and absolutely refused to tell where they came from. “Is there any one for whom I can send, or tell that you are here?” asked the Sheriff, being unwilling 10 place his guests io a cell. “If you would like to send for a Catholic priest we will talk to him,” said one of the girls. Sheriff White thought that the girls were in earnest and sent a messenger for Reyv. Father McSweeney. When the priest arrived the girls broke down and told him their story. They said their names were Miss Murphy and Miss Annie Green and that they lived near Emanuel Baptist church in San Francisco. They said they had trouble with their families and had made up their minds to run away from home. They had planned to take the boat to Stockton, but as they found that it did not leave till late at n t they came over to Fruitvale to pass away the time, intend- ingtogo to San Francisco to take the steamer. 0 For a long time they rebelled against the advice of the priest, which was that they should go home. It was an unusual sight that was seen in the gloomy jail, the priest bending over two pretty, weeping girls, and urging by all that they held dear and holy toabandon their fatal career and acknowledge their shortcomings an: return to their parents. Sheriff White, too, pleaded with all the eloquence of a father. In the end the words of wisdom prevailed and the girls consented to go home if the Sheriff would send a lady with them. Mrs. Prescott, Oakland agent of the Cali- fornia Children’s Society, was sent for and consented to take the girls home. Deputy Sheriff White accompaniea the party across the bay. The girls led the way to the Mission- street cars, and when near Bartlett street the little company alighted. It was evi- dent that the large honse near by was the home of the girls, for they ran away from their escort and disappeared in the base- ment. Deputy Sheriff White pursued them, in- tending to sce that they were safely deliv- ered vo their parents, but the young ladies evidently knew where they were, and for nearly half an hour he searched in vain. Mrs. Prescott finally rang the bell of the house, and was not at all kindly received. Only when the deputy appeared and stated that the girls were in his custody, and that he would summon police help to find them, did the occupants of the house counsent to supply light and aid in the search. Finally the girls were found, and with venitent features they went back to their parents. - Having satisfied themselves that the young ladies were really at home the deputy and the agent returned.- I felt earnestly for the poor girls,” said Father McSweeney fo-night, “and I de- termined that I would not give up until 1 had succeeded in breaking their stubborn wills. Teould see at a glance that they were girls of refinement and very tender in years, and they would not have been in Stockton a day before scme villain would mark them for his vrey. I think the Fruitvale Constable did a very wise act in taking charge of them, and I felt thankful to Sheriff White for sending for me as promptly as he did.” Mrs. Prescott deciined to speak about the matter, declaring that she was pledged to secrecy. The young ladies would not say whether they had planned their excursion with the help of others, but it is thought that the timely arrest of the girls prevented an elopement. THE FUND GROWS. - As Much as 875,000 Subscribed for the Young Men’s Christian Assocla tion Building Fund. The weekly meeting of the boards of di- rectors and trustees of the San Francisco Young Men’s Christian Association will be keld in the directors’ room at the asso- ciation building, to-morrow evening, at which time matters relative to the large work of the institution will be discussed. One of the most encouraging reports which will be presented to the meeting will be the fact that the subscriptions have reached $75,000, and that other subscrip- tions will probably be made within the next few days. The success which has attended the can- vass thus far is an mncentive to the com- mittes to.put forth renewed diligence to secure $25,000 more in order to make the pledges binding, as it was understood when the committee started out on this special work ‘a few months ago thatno ledges would be binding until at least $100,000 had been subscribed toward the indebtedness. This amount secured, the property will be placed in a position be- yond any possible financial failure. 5 J. J. Valentine, president of the associa- tion, takes a very §eep interest in the can- vass, and the other gentlemen associated. with him are giving much thought and time to it. Many people are becoming thoroughly interested and there is but little question but that the total amount necessary will be subscribed within the next few weeks. . Next Thursday evening there will be a special open night at the institution, when young men and their lady friends will be admitted by complimentary invitations. During the evening Dr. W, W, Case will deliver a lecture on phrenology, and make several examinations, His subject will be “Human Nature Phrenologicaily Considered.” Young men desiring to at- tend may secure complimentary tickets by applying at the association office. M'LANE FILES HIS ANSWER, He Clalms That He Signed Notes for $100 Under Duress. The defense in the suit of Curry vs. Mc- Lane that was begun in the Justices’ Court a few days ago has put in its answer, which contains some interesting state- ments. McLane and the plaintiff had some dif- ferences over a financial transaction and the former was arrested on acharge of em- bezzlement. He signed a note in favor of the plaintiff in the case for $100 in consid- eration that the accusation be withdrawn, which was done’ and the case dismissed in the Police Court. Recently suit was begun for interest on the note. ~In his an- swer McLane claims that the note was signed under duress, and that it is, there- fore, not binding on him. He alleges that neither the note nor interest is due and re- fused to pay. CERCLE FRANCAIS BALL. Members and Their Lady Friends Enjoy a Terpsichorean Fete, Decorations of the Clubrooms and Hall—A Scene of Animation and Rare Beauty. A background of gentle green, formed by a graceful grouping of living box and palm and fern, served to throw intoeclearer and more exquisite relief theloveliness of San Francisco's French maids and mat- Tons at the last night’s ball of the Cercle Francais. The affair was in the nature of aclub social in that no guests were in- vited, but every detail of the delightful event was carried out ina manner which certainly evinced no smail amount of the national savoir faire on the part of the able committee, which was composed of J. Kahn, 1. Goodman, S. Godchaux, A. E, Grogan, Louis Cobn, F. Hanak, H. Du- vergy, L. Kauffmann, L J. Ascheim and F. Seghezza. Floods of radiance from countless incan- descent lights illuminated "the club’s ele- gant quarters, which were adorned with a splendor almost regal. Palms were every- where, transforming the clubrooms into veritable bowers, while the perfume of in- numerable flowers filléd the air. Union- square Hall, which communicated with the clubrooms, was magnificently deco- rated, bangings of daintily tinted crepa de chine alternating with festoons of box and myrtle, while flowers and lights gave sweetness, brilliancy and beauty' to the scene. The grand march opened at 9:30 o’clock and was a magnificent sight. About 120 couples filed into the hall to the inspiring strains of Mendelssohn’s “Harvest Fes- tival March,” which was brilliantly ren- dered by Ballienberg’s orchestra. E. Meyer, the genial and experienced floor manager, did much to render the affair a success, introducing some novel and effective features into some of the dances and evineing a desire to make the lady guests enjoy the club’s hospitality. He was ably assisted by L. Bocqueraz, E. Dubedat, J. D. Abrams, P. Ballemans, M. Klein, M. Goodman and A. Gump. The most prominent families in the French colony were represented, and the fact that all the participants were ac- quainted reridered the affair yet more en- joyable. At midnight a delicious colia- tion was served, aiter which the dance was resumed until near daybreak. SYELLYWANTS A CHINCE He Demands That the Garbage Franchise Be Not Given to Merle. The Merchants’ Association Asks a Stay of Ten Days to Fur- nish Data. Another factor has entered into the logal fight over the garbage crematory that seems inevitable if the Board of Super- visors ratifies the action of the Health and Police Committee in practically giving the franchise to L. V. Merle. R. B. Mitchell, attorney for F. E. Sharon, ‘whose bid is generally conceded to be the highest, has intimated plainly that his client will go into court if the board backs up the committee, and now A. M. Skelly, the third bidder, has warned the Super- THE NEW ROAD 70 THE CLIE, Formial Opening of the Sutro Electric Street Rail- way Yesterday. CELEBRATED THE EVENT Waving Flags by Day and Big Bonfires by Night at Richmond. THE NEW CLIFF HOUSE OPENED, Handsome Appointments and Furnish- ings of the Big Palace That ©Overlooks the Sea. The National colors waved over Sutro Heights and the Richmond district yes- terday to celebrate the opening of the a cents, Butthis was after the Mayor had decided to build a street Tailroad indes pendent of what he calls the “‘octopus.” isroad was formally opened to the Ppublic yesterday. And thers was great re- Jommsdalon the line. The property own- ers and inhabitants were_jubilant over the awn of a new era. Flags waved from house tops and bunting floated to the breeze. It was ind;eld a gala day; a day of rejoicing, a day of deliverance. The new ron{i is weld equipped. It isan electric’ line and excellent time is made. Therg ‘was a great contrast yesterday, ex- emplifying the feeling of the peopie be- :;een the crowded wuh on L‘gls road aud e empty vehicles of the octopus. _Mr.' Sutro seemed very much pleased over the opening of the road to which he has given much time and invested a large sum of money. The people along the route 1i§hted bonfires at night as an evi- daence of the pleasure within them, There were great crowds at tno_oplenlng of the new Cliff House yesterday. Itisa magnificent building, handsomely propor- tioned and. richly furnished. The recep- tion-rooms, parlors, billiard-rooms and dining-room and observatories all over- look the sea. 5 There was a_band concert throughout the day, given by Cassasa’s band. A ban- quet was tendered the guests in the large banquet hall at the new Cliff House. Members of the Board of Supervisors, City officials, men of affairs and other promi- nent citizens were in attendance. The table extended the whole length of the long room, and the menu included everything worth eating. It was a feast for the gods. In addition to the soup, fish and fowl there were long sentences of white wine, and extended paragraphs of red liguor. Mr. Sutro sat at the head of the table. He looked as contented as Cwsar after he bad carted his own and other people’s for- tunes across the turbulent sea. The fact is the Mayor is at home at aluncheon. Having dined with several of the crowned heads and a few of the Presidents, Senators and generals of the United States, he is 2, 1896. people. Three-quarters of the Senators of l the United States are elected by corpora- tions, It was'my fortune—or probably my misfortune—to spend ten, winters in ‘Washington, and during that time I be- came acquainted with nearly all the great men of the nation.” The Mayor said that C, P. Huntington was at work during much of this time. He declared that after getting the neces- sary franchises to build the railroad be was interested in he and his associates stole all the money in sight. Then the Mayor told about ‘the corruption that led up to the downfall of the Roman republic .and felt that the same end would follow & corruption of the Government in this country. He compared Huntington to a highwayman who had held up the whole people. ‘‘And now,” said the Mayor, “he has the effrontery 10 go beiore Congress and ask that his thievery be condoned, that the debt upon the Central Pacific be extended 100 years. What imoudence! Here is a man, the greatest criminal outside of the nitentiary—and every man at this table ows L am telling God's truth—robbing the people and undermining the Govern- ment of our couniry. And still the people are indifferent. They amuse themselves, 80 to the theaters and attend the races, withovt a thought as to their danger and their destiny. ~ Why, the people should ring the fire-bells and arouse the people to their imminent danger.” Mr. Sutro dwelt at length upon the corruption that permeates the Congress of the United States, and declured that a man mightas well go out and speak to the seals upon the rocksas to appeal to the National legislators for justice or sympathy. ““This little one-horse road,” said Mayor Sutro in conclusion, “is a thorn in the side of Mr. Huntington, and I tell you to- day that if Ilive five years longer I will blot out the octopus from the face of the | earth.” The Mayor was cheered to the echo.

It vunctuated the time when the domination of the Market-street Railway Company ceased and the rights of the people began. The fare to the Cliff House, at the extreme western side of San Francisco, was origi- nally 10 cents, Mayor Sutro sought to five it reduced, He wanted all the people to enjoy the privilege of traveling from the ferries to the beights for a nickel. The street railroad company objected, and then began the fight, which was continued with ceaseless energy down to this time, At the outset Mr. Sutro charged an en-. trance fee to the groundsof the cliff. This act naturally injured the traffic of the rail- road. The result was that a. little more than a year ago the street railroad com- bined to reduce the fare to the cliff to 5 he g = —— i J;ESF,RTED CLIFFHOUSE visors in a courteous way that he does not intend to let the matter drop. He sent the following communication to the board yesterday: SAN FrANCISCO, February 1, 1896, To the Honorable Board of Supervisors—GEN- TLEMEN: The undersigned begs respectfully to call your attention to a bid made by him for the franchise to cremate %nrbage, which was duly advertised for as required by layw. In the daily press it appears that the com- mittee of Jm" honorable board intends to recommend an award of the franchise to a bid- der therefor by the name of L. V.

If this beso I desire to inform your honorable board that Iam a bigher bidder than the ssid Merle, and that if ibere is any discretion in your honorable board 1am entitled to receive $aid franchise, being a higher bidder in this, the percentage contained in my bid will real ize 1, the city and county on the gross receipts A SUmM ext ing $100,000 during the contin- uance of said franchise. 4 As it is, I am content to abide by your de- cision if you can exercise discretion, but if not, I claim to be & higher bidder than Merle and eh- titled to the franchise.if the other percentage bid is ll;lu‘!lmll and not l§| conformity with the notice inviting proposals.

OF course the Mayor made a speech. He said many nice things about struggling bumanity and excoriated the few individ- uals who are striving to control the des- tiny of the great people of California. The Mayor was -sarcastic, severe and vicious. He denounced the ‘‘octopus’ and cried long live the people. *‘The building of this little one-horse road,” said the Mayor, “‘is of little impor- tance, yetit involves a principle. The oc- topus has long dominated this country, and as great things sometimes grow from small circumstances there is no knowing what may be the end.”” Mayor Sutro then dwelt at length upon the beginning of the National Government and showed how it was the best kind of a government for the whole people. The constitution had bequeathed liberty to all men. “‘To-day,” he declared, “it is no longer an American Government. It is an oligarchy of capitalists upon the American 11 =<5 fiyo OF THE MARKET STREEY LINE> S a 1]-§nging speech. He responded to many calls. “‘I will never take off my hat,” he said, “to a man because of nis political or social position, but Iam always ready to salute the man who stands for the people. I ad- mire Mayor Sutro for the fight he has made against the greatest conspiracy of the time. The Southern Pacific has bribed the courts and Congress and has de- bauched the State. etter indeed, that the Nation should lose $80,000,000 than that the funding bill should pass. Let us, however, defeat this monstrous bill and stand in the god-like attitude of men."” . J. Taylor Rogers then reviewed the his- tory of the funding bill. Major J. F. Smith followed in an elo- quent speech, He said that the “one- horse road,” of which the Mayor haa spoken, was a step in _the right direction, as it would eventually bring about the in- dependence of the people. 7 | “The advancement and education of the | whole people,” be said, “‘means a higher ! avilization, and the man who works tq that end is a philanthropist.” o Sup-rvisor Taylor said that the prosper- 1ty of dan Francisco depended on such men as Mr. Sutro. “‘We are all interested in the growth of the City.” he said, “but the City cannot row unless the country develops. This evelopment has been retarded by the railroad, No abundant harvest will bene- fit us unless we have a market. And what will be the use of a market unless we have reasonable freight rates. ““The building of the San Joaguin Val- ley Railroad,” continued Colonel Taylor, “is a commencement in the right direc- tion. We owe our thanks to the men who bave been the promoters of this railroad. When the new rcad is a success others will follow. I believe in corporations, but I believe in having taem subservient to the n}w l]n,v’v, whether National, State or muni- cipal. A. Sbarboro spoke in praise of the great work of Mayor Sutro, whose health was drunk with bumpers of wine and elorified in speech and song. J. M. Wilkins,’ manager of the Cliff House, made the closing speech. He spoke in complimentary terms of Mayor Sutro and the public spirit that inspired him to carry to a successful termination the many reat enterprises with which his name had geen associated. The assembly then dispersed and the guests wandered through the great build- ing and looked out upon the sea. WHY PINKERTON IS HERE Making Contracts With Local Corporations and Hunting a Swindler, TO DO THE RAILROAD'S WORK. A Chicago Bank Cashier Who Stole $152,000- Traced to San Francisco. William Pinkerton, the head of the cele: brated Chicago detective agency, is in this City. He arrived here early last week and has since been quietly transacting much important business and living in retire- ment at the Baldwin Hotel, Mr. Pinker- ton is a man who likes to keep in the back- ground, which is well understood wherever he eoes, but on this oceasion of his visit to San Francisco he' has more than ever be- fore evaded notice—his mission being of such significance it was best performed in secret, without the menticn of his name. ¥ The most interesting feature of his visit is said to be the closing of contracts with large corporations in this City. -In addi- tion to that work he is uuderstood to be looking out for a Chicago bank cashier who abscouded recently. From a reliable source it was learned | yesterday that Pinkerton was in treaty with the Southern Pacific to take charge of the railroad company’s detective busi- ness over the entire system, performing exactly the same work as it has been doing in the Oregon division in connection with the Portland office. He is also said to have made a contract with the Pacific Mutual Insurance Company to atiend to that corporation’s Eastern busin in its detective department. The identity of the other corporations with which he is deal- ing is kept private. ‘When the Southern Pacific Company abolished its detective burean recently, an officer of the company stated that it was done for the purpose of giving the burean’s business to Pingerton’s agency, which had already performed many a special bit of work for the railroad people. The suc- cessful hunt and capture'of train-robbers in Oregon, and conviction through the efforts of Pinkerton's men, placed the Chicago detectives in an exceptionally favorable light before the high officials of the railroad and, it is said, led to the con- tract which is now being closed, or may bave been signed. Pinkerton’slocal rep- resentative bas been John Curtin, but it is now thought highly probable that an inde- pendent agency of the Chicago detectives will soon be established in this City and maintained with a special force of men. Pinkerton is credited with having told a strange story to some friends a day or two ago. This was about the cashier ¢f a Chi- cago bank, who was traced to San Fran- cisco, but no farther. As the story went, this cashier was a daring fellow, whose de- falcations were so enormous as to place him in the foremost rank of bank swin- dlers. He took $152,000 from his bank without raising the slightest suspicion, and indeed, was not suspected of frand until after he disappeared. When the bank directors ascertained the true state of affairs in the cash accounts they decided to maintain the strictest secrecy, Instead of making known the startling deficit, they quietly, in conjunction with stockholders, put $152,000 new capital into the bunk and continued business as if nothing out of the way had happened. This, it was explained by the detective, had been done to save the bank, because if the truth were known confidence in the institution would be instantly shattered and the bank ruined in consequence. It wes given out that the cashier had resigned and gone to fill another position in some Eastern city, and this explanation Temoved suspicion. The detectives, however, set out to find the cashier, and were rewarded by picking up his trail. He was traced to San Fran- cisco, but beyond there was no clew. ‘Whether the fugitive managed to get out of the country on a ship or steamer could not be satisfactorily determined, and so a doubt exists as to the fellow’s whereabouts. Pinkerton came here in person to satisfy himse!f as to what became of the elusive swindler., Trans-Atlantic Passengers. In fifty trips made last year the Ameri- can line of steamers carried the second largest number of passengers of any line in the trans-Atlantic service, aggregating 16,146. The Cunard line, in fifty-seven trips, carried 18,856 cabin passengers, Jead- ing the list. The White Star line, in filty- one m‘Fs. had 11,805. The North German Lloyd line Icd the list in steerage passen- gers. The total number of passengers, both native and alien, landed at the port during 1895 from Europe was 96,558 cabin and 258,560 steerage, and 792 trips of steamers were made to carry them.—New York Tribune.
