The Devisadero-street Property Owners’ Club has declared itself against Manager Vining of the Market-street cable system. Af its recent meeting President H. W. Miller recalled Manager Vining’s failure to keep his promise in regard to givinga better car service to and from the Mission districts. It appears that a few months ago Mr, Vining stated to a committee of the club that as soon as the Fillmore-street line was ccmpleted he would issue transfers south from the Devisadero line into the Mission, and at Fillmore and Eddy to the Devisa- dero line west. These promises of Mr. Vining have been broken, and it was decided that a commit- tee meet the gentieman and find out why he refused to help out the Devisadero- street residents, who had sacrificed their beautiful boulevard to the park and peti- tioned the Supervisors for an electric road. The committee, consisting of Dr. T. E. Shumate, Adolph Meyer, H. W. Miller and James Spanton, cailed on Mr. Vining yesterday afternoon. They explained to bim that unless they were given part of the advantages promised when the rail- road company pestered them for their signatures to” build a road, a movement would be placed on foot to ask for the an- nulling of the franchise. Mr. Vining assured the committee that be would do all in his power to assist them. He feit powerless, however, on ac- count of the absence of H. E. Huntington, who is in Kentucky. But he stated that at the next meeting of the directors he would recommend the transfer system de- sired by the committee. Mr. Vining asked if the committee LIKE FIGURED TAPESTRY, A Strange Animal From South Africa Causes Crowds at the Occidental. CAN'T MAKE OUT WHAT IT IS. Changes Its Color at Different Periods of the Day and Tells the Time Like a Watch. There is & curioud animal at the Occi- dental Hotel, the like of which has never before been seen here, and which has aroused a great deal of interest. It is what is vaguely termed a Scuth African lizard. because it came from South Africa. Professor O. H. Harkness and President David Starr Jordan have been inspecting it. Lesser scientists have also called to see it. Most of the scientists have admitted that they were stumped by the reptile, while others merely looked wise and. went away without saying any- thing. J. 8. Purdy, the Bush-street commission merchant, is the owner. He got it of D. Rule, a friend, who bequeathed it to him. Rule received it from a ship captain who came up from Panams, and who had been presented with the queer reptile by a man who had come up from South Africa. by the directors, who, it is said, forthwith conclude to do just the exact opposite of what he recommends. And thus there bas arisen a new complication, which the de- positors believe must bring about an open rupture between the board and the attor- ney. This very result is expected to take place before long, if not indeed, lodng A special meeting of the People’s Home ank directors was called for yesterday, but for some reason it was laid over unfil to-day. The object of this special session is to put through the sale of the Pacitic Bank property for $130,000. The sum of $140,000 has been offered by R. D. McElroy for the property. Mr. McElroy made three bids, the lowest baving been $132,000 and the second $136,000; but certain members of the board favored tke sale to the Con- tinental Insurance Company for $130,000. Attorney Flournoy advised the directors against effecting the sale until after the determination of the Continental Com- pany’s suit, which wiil probably be effected on Monday next. The prevailing img‘reesion on the part of depositors is that this prospective action of the directors is simply an effort to let a favored bidder purchase the property for less that its value.” One reason assigned for this is that the purchaser is willing to take it and take chances so far as the suits over the property are concerned; but that in fact it does not help the depositors, be- cause the rights of the litigants would be such that they could follow the fund, if not the property. ln other words, the Pacific Bank directors who are yet fight- ing for the property could pursue by legal process the sim of $130,000 paid for it, uite as readily as keeping up a contest or the bank building itself. Mr. Fiournoy and}the law firm of Gun- nison, Booth & Bartnett declare they can see nothing in the suits to cause the Peo- le’s Bank directors the least uneasiness, or the suits can easily be got out of the way, and then there will remain no in. The Strange, Brilliant Colored Saurian From South Africa, With the Whipcracker Tail and Wattles Like a Butterfly’s Wing. [From a sketch from life by a “Call” artist.] been issued at his instance the day before by Judge Hunt, restraining the husband, Martial Hainque, from selling or disposing of his property, was also dismissed. All this was done at the request of Mrs. Hainque, who, yesterday realizing that she had taken a step toward the severance of her marriage bonds, found herself in | great distress of mind. | “I don’t kuow what 1 was thinking about,” she said yesterday with tears in | her eyes. “When I went home after having been to the lawyer’s office and be- gan thinking about it I became so worried that I could not sleep. I rose and wrote a letter to my counsel, begging him to stop proceedings, but it did not reach him in | time. It is all very unfortunate, but nobody is to blame but myself. I acted too hastily. Yes, there isanother to blame. That is Mrs. Bangs, my husband’s sister, who struck me in the face, and I was so angry that I went at once to seek a divorce that I do not want. +I met my husband that same evening and we made up our quarrel. We were just as happy as we could be until I saw by TuE CALL this morning that my note had not arrived in time and not only the petition in divorce had beem granted but aun injunction bad been issued against my busband. I regret it all very much for his sake, ior, of course, this publicity will hurt him in the eyes of our friends. “Still,” she went on, “it may be all for the best—the quarrel, I mean.” After the | incident I speax of, and my husband not coming home, I picked up my things and left his house. e had been living apart for a few days when this step I took brought us to%ether again and I think we will live happily now, for we understand each other better. “I would like to make amends to him so far as I can by having this published, forall I said in my petition ior divorce about his cruelty was greatly exaggerated. I was laboring under great excitement at the time, To be sure my husband and I have had little spats, like every other married couple, I guess, and then his sister, Mrs. Bangs, interfered and brought this on. She came into my room—she is a little thing about half my size—and with- out any provocation said to me, ‘How dare you quarrel with my brotner? 1 said, ‘He is my husband.’ “Then she struck me in the face. Isaid, ‘Did you strike me, Min?’ And she said, “Yes, and I will do it again.’ ] was in a rage, of course, but 1 did not strike back. I said, ‘We will see about this.” That night ‘Sonny,” my husband, did not come Lome, and the next day I left the house and afterward went to see Mr. Linforth. I told him whatisin the petition, but, as [ say, I was very angry and excited and it was all greatly exag- gerated. Really very liitle of all that took place. Sonny is a very good husband, and I—well, perhaps I have s temper. 1 want to correct the impression I have created about him. We are living together again at our home on Fifteenth street.” Martial Hainque, the husband, was pres- ent during this interview. He is part owner in the tools, etc., of the Cyclops Machine Works, of which his late father was proprietor. Husband and wife were apparently happy in their reconciliation. EVANGELIST VARLEY. Expected Again in San Francisco—Will Wage Unrelentless War on the Poolrooms. Henry Varley, the English evangelist, with his wife, younger son and daughter, are expected to arrivein this City by the next steamer from Australia. A gentleman in this City, who has been in correspondence with the evangelist since he left 8an Francisco in August last, states that Mr. Varley und his family were expected to be ready to sail from Melbourne on the steamer which arrived here last week, but as they did not arrive then, the inference is they will arrive on the next steamer. Immediately after his arrival Mr, Varley will commence a series of gospel meetings would not be satisfied to wait until after | the completion of the Page-street line, when he would give the transfers from De dero street to Page street and thence to Fillmore street. This was not agree- able to the committee and it was agreed to wait until the return of H. E. Hunting- ton. WHO STOLE THE MONEY? Joe Harvey, the Sporfing Map, | Loses Four Hundred Dollars. Hong Toy, His Chinese Servant, Is Arrested on Suspicion of Be- ing the Thief. Joe Harvey, the well-known sporting | man, who lives on Eddy street, near Tay- | lor, has been the victim of a sneakthef or | burglar, and he mourns the loss of $400 in gold. What makes the loss of the money more galling to Harvey is that he had it in trust for a sporting man, and will have to make good the amount to him. The money was kept in a smail tin box, which was securely locked, and placed in a bureau drawerin Harvey’s bedroom, which was also kept locked to make its safety | doubly sure. | Yesterday morning, when Harvey left his bedroom he unlocked the burean drawer, and satisfied himself that the tin box and the money were all right. When he returned a few hours later the bureau drawer was open. The tin box lay on the floor, and the $400 in gold had disappeared. An examination showed that the drawer and tin tox had both been forced open by the use of some instrument, and on the floor in a corner lay an icepick, which had evidently been used by the thief. The icepick had been keptin the kitchen and its exact location was known only to Hong Toy, the Chinese servant, and Har- vey’s suspicions fell upon him, He did not say anything to the Chinese but hurried to police headquarters with the icepick in his pocket and reported the loss of the money and his suspicions. Detective Harry Reynolds was detailed on the case and he went to Harvey’s house. After making an investigation he took Hong Toy to police headquarters. De- tective Bainbridge after closely scrutiniz- ing the Chinese and examining certain scars on his face thought he was an ex- convict, but was not quite sure. To all questions Hong Toy gave the same an- swer, “No sabe””” He was carefully searched, but no money was found in his possession. He will be detained in “the tanks” pending further inquiries. ——ecgaln Y Thirty-fourth District Republicans.

The club tendered him a unanimous vote of thanks for his able address. ———— Arrested His Partner. Henry Vogt, saloon-keever, 620 Kearny street, was arrested on a warrant yesterday charging him with grand larceny. The com- plaining witness is Louis Lenke, his partner, under the auspices of the local evangelical churches, in the slums as well as in the churches. 1t is the intention of the evangelist to rent untenanted stores and offices contigu- ous to the iniguitous poolroom gamblin dens; post flaming placards with words o! warning and invitation to the gamblers and their patrons in those sinksof vica and infamy, and wage an unrelentless war, as he had done on King street, Bydney, in December last. when, by hi: uasive appeals, men quitgambling, and gambling who charges him with the larceny of $170, Which he kept in & cigar-box o g e A Canal Choked Up Is practically useless.

This medicine also remedles malarial, bilious. dyspeptic, rheumatic, nervous and kidney trouble, and strengthens the entire system. Several scientists have coveted tha‘cnmbmnce upon the property. Thisis the saurian from Mr. Purdy, but he thinks too much of him to let him go, at least while be lives. Bo the scientists bave abridged their requests to the possibility of his de- mise. *“If he dies,”’” wrote one Stanford pro- fessor to Mr. Purdy, ‘‘all I ask of you is that you give him to the university.” Dr. Luke Robinson took a look athim yesterday, among many others. He doesn’t profess to be a sharp regarding such animals, but he said he would like the privilege of bringing some scientific friends to sit in judgment on the stranger. This request Mr. Purdy readily granted. The animal is kept'in the rear barroom of the Occidental. It is about three and a half feet long. Its head is much like the head of a turtle, but it has embroidered wattles beneath, which fall like the wings of a butterfly. Along the ridge of the back for probably a foot is a row of protuberances resem- bling spines, but which are almost feathery in.character, serving more as an ornament than es weapons of defense. The tail dawdles to an_ intolerable length, the final ending for a footand a half resembling the tail of a braided buckskin whip, with two or three mottles, like rattlesnake mottles, at the bigger point. From there to the head the general color is greenish, though at different times of the day the reptile changes his hue like a chameleon. The change begins at the side of the head or throat, when first from a peacock color it turns to gold and brown. In_the other changes which follow the saurian takes on a variety of colors, but they are most beautiful.” The brilliant colors begin at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. **If you watch him close enough during the day x})u will get so you won’t need a watch. ou can tell what time it is by looking at him. “He’s a daisy. I wouldn’t part with him for anything. A good many scientific men have been here and looked at him and others are to come, but they can’t make out just what he is, except that he is the strangest of all the lizards that ever was seen probably. ““This whip-crackers’ tail that he has enables him to climba tree and sleep at night. With a wrap or two of it over a limb he can doze off without fear of being nipped by any bigger animal. He goes up in his cage and sleeps that way often. ‘‘He eats bugs and insects of various sorts and ordinary hen’s eggs. The latter are what I put in for him, but he won’t eat much. For six months past he is sup- vosed to have been in a stupor, like a bear in winter. He came all the way over from South Africa, and didn’t eat anything dur- ing all that time.” The brilliant reptile dragged himself aroundthe cage lazily when Mr. Purdy prodded him up. Occasionally he stroked him with his hand. Mr. Purdy thinks he isn’t poisonous, and one thing in his favor isthat he hasn’t tried to bite anybody. As be doesn’t open his mouth nobody knows what his teeth are like, In a general way the strange animal looks like a beautiful piece of figured tapestry. He is exquisitely mottled, and when he changes color, as he does some- times by a change of position, he is incom- parable. Mr. Purdy is uncertain just how he shall rovide for his future. It is said he was rought from the isthmus on the ship ‘Washtenaw. REJECTED THE BEST BID, Why People’s Home Bank Di- rectors Call a Special Meeting. Will Sell the Pacific Bank Property Against Attorney Flournoy’s © Advice, Matters of management of the People’s Home Savings Bank have deveioped seri- ots complications within the last few days, and where the trouble may end can be seen only after what promises to beanother addition to the long list of lawsuits over the liquidation of the bank’s affairs, The latest phase of this institution’s bac ly mixed business is a decided differ- ence of opinion between the new board of directors and its legal adviser, John Flour- I | | second case in which the direetors have acted against the advice of Mr. Flonurnoy, who, it is claimed, is honestly performing his duty as a lawyer. The belie?eis held by several interested parties that this will cause a row between the attorney and the board, since the latter desires to do as it sees (it regardless of legal advice. The Trust Company is opposed to the sale of the Pacitic Bank property for $130,000 while an offer of $140, is stand- ing. It also believes that the insurance company’s case ought to be tried and set- tled at once and the property sold to the highest bidder, and the money distributed legally and as ex‘reditiouslv as possible. Should the bank directors act otherwise it is likely that the ablest legal battle over the bank property will be started without delay. MRS, STANFORD AT HOME Fully Expects a Favorable De cision, but Is Anxiously Waiting. Four Months Spent in a Tour of the East, but Principally at Washington. Mrs, Stanford is home again, having arrived in this City yesterday forenoon from Washington, where she has been so anxiously awaiting the final decision in the $15,000,000 Government suit. During her absence of four months from Califorpia she visited parts of Canada and many of the larger cities of the East prior to her stay at the capital. There alone for a short time only she was not in the best of health, and in consequence of her ill- ness was unable to hear the argument made before the Supreme Court in behalf of her case by Joseph Choate of New York. Otherwise Mrs. Stanford’s Eastern trip, aside from the constant suspense of the long-pending suit; was conducive to her health, and it was partly for the needed change that she left this City. Upon_arriving at the Sixteenth-street station in Oakland yesterday, Mrs. Stan- ford was joined in her private car by Mrs. Josiah Stanford, Dr. Harkness and Charles G. Lathrop, her business manager, and they accompanied her to this side of the bay. Mrs. Stanford came directly from ‘Washington with only her private secre- tary, Herbert Nash, and two servants. All yesterday afternoon the Stanford residence on fioh Hill was beset with sympathizing friends, who came to wel- come Mrs. Stanford home and to pay their respects. Speaking of whatis to her and to the university the all-absorbing topic just now, Mrs. Stanford said that she awaits with intense interest the outcome of the great suit, and she is confident with hope of u fayorable decisiou, for she feels that the Almighty is on her side. But when such a result is finally announced and the cloud is lifted that has for several years cast its shadow over the Stanford Uni- versity, she anticipates no immediate changes in the administration of the col- lege affairs. Mrs. Stanford spoke with pleasure of the interest manifested in ail parts of the East in the university, and especially the recog- nition that it is being accorded in all parts ‘of the Union. Mrs. Stanford proposes to go down shortly to her country home at Menlo Park, which she will make her residence. Football Game To-Day. There will be a match game of football this afternoon at Central Park between the John Swett and Pacific Heights football teams. Ad- ditional interest is centered in this game on account of the result of a former game between these teams which ended in a tie. e Ship-Owners Sued.

MARION HARLAND, Autlor of “‘Common Sense in the Household.” WILL BUILD A NEW LINE The Hayes-Street Road to Be Ex- tended From the Park to the Ocean. RICHMOND DISTRICT ,EVENTS. The Cemetery Question Causes Dissen. sion—Sutro’s Electric Road is Censured. The actual completion and operation of the Sutro road has enlivened real estate matters in the Richmond district to no small extent. There is a strong demanda for property now made accessible, and in consequence the real estate men are happy. “‘The real estate sales in 1895 were fully 30 per cent greater than the preceding year,” said T. G. Parker yesterday. “The current year has commenced most flatter- ingly, the sales so far showing an increase of 50 per cent over the same period of 1895, This is due in a great degree to the com- | pletion of the new electric line to the ocean. People are not only buying more | property, but they are improving it, which fact is of course to our greater advantage.”” While the real estate interests of Rich- mond are advancing, the Market-street Railway is figuratively doing the same thing, though its efforts are directed in another channel. Sutro’s road has cut a big hole in the daily receipts, and when the new bandstand in Golden Gate Park is completed they will find many more nickels slipping from their grasp. The people’s road has a branch running from Eighth avenue to the park, and within a shortdistance of the bandstand, so that they will naturally control a big part of the park traffic. In order to overcome this as much as possible, the Market-street Company bas determined to extend the Hayes-street cable system from Stanyan street to the ocean. Electricity will be the power em- ployed over the entire line. The route to the beach is as follows: From the present terminuson Stanyan street down and out Fulton to Seventh avenue, along that thoroughfare to Point Lobos, and then a straight shoot to the ocean. It is understood in Richmond that work on the new line will begin in a few days and be pushed rapidly to completion. Wfien this is done there will be four direct lines to the ocean, three of which gass through ihe district. The present road on Seventh avenue, used only on Sundays, will be widened to tue electric gange. The action of the Board of Supervisors in stopping the sale of burial lotsin the three cemeteries which lie between Rich- mond district proper and the City has aroused considerable feeling among the residents of the former. There are many who are anxious to abolish the cemeteries altogether, and they regard the prohibi- tion of sales as a great victory. The par- tisans of the cemeteries, however, look at the matter in a totally different light. They claim that the ordinance as passed by the Supervisors is unconstitutional, and they propose to test it in the courts. The Odd Fellows’ Cemetery is probably the least affected of any by the new order. They had previously sold most of their old lots, though it is understood that at the very time of the Supervisors’ unexpected action they were negotiating for addi- tional territory. In spite of the fact that the Richmond people welcome Sutro’s road and look on it as a kind of deliverance, they are un- qualifiedly opposed to the high rate of speed at which the cars are run. This is particularly noticeable on Eighth avenue, where the cars attain an average speed of eighteen miles an hour. This is never slackened when crossing is reached. The Point Lobes Club has appointed a com- mittee to wait on the officials, and re- quest that the cars be run at a rate con- sistent with the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.
