THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1896, 0 MORE TEDIOUS DELAYS The Australian Gate Sent Three of the Fields Away in Fine Order. THREE FAVORITES IN FRONT. Uncertainty Surprised the Crowd by Romping Away From His Field at Odds of 40 to 1. The Australian e to s with starting machine has It was tried again yester- marked success on three differ- ions, the fields being dispatched in fine order without noticeable delay. Its | speedy adoption by the California Jockey | b, whose officers have seen it in Opera- tion at the new course, is an evidence of | its growing popularity. The attendance at the track far exceeded at of the other daysof the week with the exception of ladies’ day. This can be accounted for in the noticeable falling off in crowds that formerly filled the | gambling dens, many of whom | become tired of being “buncoed” | out of their money by false information, inow visit the track. The card wasa and the racing all that could be co! have have ¥'s_sport was enlivened by the . Uncertainty, who startled the | rowd by gelloping away with the third event on the card at the very long odds of {)to L. Favorites headed their fields to the wire on three different occasions.

The three horses amed had the race to themselves, finish- g half lengths apart on the wire, just as ihey were played in the betting, Senator ar i Little Jimmie and Mirambo. { - G.

The race resulted in a drive be- tween the two outsiders, Miss Ross and Walter J, the mare winning, getting the verdict by a nose. Seven to 1 was laid against her in the ring. The start in this event was made with the Australian gate, and on account of some josuinf. cause principally by Hewitt on Myrtle H, was somewhat straggling. The race following was also a six-furlong spin, with nine starters going to the post. Pecksniff was a 7 to & favorite, but the best he could do was finish second to Uncer- tainty, a 40 to 1 outsider, who led through- out and won pulling up. Banjo finished in the show. Seven started in the mile-and-a-quarter selling event. Imp. Star Ruby com- manded first call in the betting, opening at 6 to 5 and closing 3 to 2. Basso, second choice, was well supportea for the place, and a stiff play on Cadmus caused his odds to drop a couple of pownts from 7. Fred Gardner and Fullerton Lass cut out a slow pace to the stretch, where Willie Martin brought the favorite up and won without much in reserve three parts of a length before Basso, who came strong at the end. Red Root well up in front throughout ran an excellent race, finishing a good third. Fred Gardner, who accountably bad race, and Cadmus was also a disappointment to his stable. The winner's time was 2:11. ; Ferris Hartman and Summertime were scratched out of the last race of the day. leaving five to face the issue.

Kamsin, who was backed down from 11 to 5 to 3 to 2, was beaten out for the rlnce a nose by Rey del Bandidos in a hard drive. Track and Paddock Items. ‘Willie Martin was seen up in the saddle yesterday astride Star Ruby for the first time since his suspension. The fourth event to-day at five furlongs | promises to be a rare good sprinting con- test. The owners of Mobolaska, Derfar- gilla and Pat Murphy, who finished be- hind George Miller in Thursday’s fast run | race, were all disappointed over the result and they will again try conclusions with the “Kansas City Hindoo” in a specially arranged race for to-day.

He Escaped From a Hospital Ward Because No Guard Was Provided. Thomas Tierney, formerly a City Hail politician, died at the City and County Hospital Monday last under circumstances that will probably dead to a demand for an increased appropriation for that institu- tion, Tierney was sent to the County Jail for several months, after having been con- victed of a misdemeanor, and remained there until the second inst., when he de- veloped symptoms of pulmonary trouble, and was transferred to the hospital. As Tierney became delirious, the superin- tendent, having no one to act as guard, ordered him strapped to his cot. He succeeded in breaking away and escaping. Five days later he was found wandering about the grounds in a filthy condition, and stated that he had been under the hospital in a place reserved for a colony of rabbits. I}Le exposurs had placed his case beyond hope of recovery and he died on Monday. Superintendent Stahle says that'it was Sheriif Whelan’s place to guard the man, as he was really a prisoner, and that the Sheriff is to blame. ~Dr. Stahle will prob- ably ask for guards to care for such cases. A VALENTINE. LUNCHEON, Mrs. Darling Entertains Twelve Ladies in Honor of Mrs. Niebaum. Ingleside track will enough to contain the flock to witness the great Friday Night Dancing Class Finishes the Season in a Blaze of Glory. Tke Mrs. Darling, who enjoys the reputation of being quite the most gracious and tact- ful of the Sen Francisco hostesses, gave a luncheon yesterday afternoon at her town residence, corner of Sutter and Gough streets, adding thereby another success to her already long list of social triumphs. Mrs. Niebaum, wife of the ex-Consul to Russia, was the guest of honor. The tabie decorations were all in red, the artillery color, and all the table accesso- ries, as far as.good taste would permit, were of a corresponding shade. In the center of the table was a graceful basket filled to overflowing with scarlet carnationsand edged with delicate maiaen- hair. From the center 1o the four ends of the long table were stretched ropes of car- nations and smilax, the ends falling in graceful loops almost to the floor. There were red bonbons in the silver bonbon- nieres, natural fruit juices stained the ice cream a deep red, and red-shaded candles shed a soft light over the handsome table. Yesterday being St. Valentine's day the pretty time-honored sentiment was appro- priately observed in a mostdelightful way. 2t the plate of each guest in lieu of the usual name card was a dainty valentine— avalentine with appropriate sentiments, surrourded for the most part by the em- blems of the day—Cupids, hearts, arrows and wreaths of roses—all delicately exe- cuted in water colors by Miss Catherwood, each bearing the stamp mark of the place most dear to the heart of the one it was addressed to. Mrs. Tubbs’ valentine was stamped Bos- ton; Mrs. H. L. Dodge’s token came from the green hills of Vermont; for Mrs. Blair there was 4 message from New York; the Baroness von Schroeder’s came from Ham- burg; Washington sent a tender wreeting to Mrs. Holt; Mrs. J. D. Fry's valentine was posted in New York; Mrs. Charles Slack’s valentine was posted in San Fran- cisco; Mrs. Niebaum’s came from far off Russia; Mrs. Lloyd Tevis' was stamped Louisville, Ky.; from her beloved Paris came a message to Mrs. Coit; Mrs. Wil- liam Alvord’s valentine came from New York; from Philadelphia came a message for Mrs. W. pean; Mrs. Jewett received her tender token from Sonoma County, and Napa County sent Mrs, Darling the compliments of the day. Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock, covers being laid for fourteen. The Friday Night Dancing Class met for the last time this season last evening at Lunt’s Hail. Earlyin the winter Mesdames Blanding, Salisbury and Pierce organized this club, the object being to provide amusement for those not yet ‘‘out.” The hours were early.” Dancing began at 8 o’clock sharp, and at eleven the last guest had departed. The success of the Friday Night Class was immediate. After the second dance the list closed. ¥or its final dance the club waived its usual simplicity. The hours were prolonged until after 1 . x., and an elaborate supper was substituted for the lemonade and weak claret punch, known as the ‘““light refresh- ments.” There were calcium lights, the Hungarian Band ana favors. Ercvious training made the guests punctual, and at 8:30 nearly all the guests had arrived. Dancing was immediately inaugurated and continued until 11:30, when supper was served. After supper the cotillon was danced. It being leap year a lady—Miss Hobart— led, assisted by Dr. Harry Tevis. Five figures were danced and the favors for the geutlemen were sticks of chewing gum and toy balloons; for the ladies exquisite paper flowers which came from New York and stuffed brownies. In the first set were: Miss Hobart, Miss Salisbury, Miss Pierce, Miss. Blanding, Miss Hannah Williams, Miss Borell, Miss Maraquita Collier, Miss Jessie Hobart, Miss Mary McNutt, Robert Eyre, Dr. Tevis, Ray Sherman, Mr. Rathbone, Mack Robbins, Max MeNutt, Walter Hobart. A fashionable tea for this afternoon will be one given by the Mercantile Library Auxiliary, from 3 to 5 o’clock in the rooms of their elegant building. As so many prominent society ladies are interested in the library and its auxiliary the rooms will evidently be crowded during the aft- ernoon. Upon the reception committee are: Mrs. Lovell White, Mrs. W. F. Herrin, Mrs. Henry Gibbons, Mrs. Fanny Lent, Mrs. Demas C. Babin, Mrs. Isidore Burns, Miss A. G. Catlin, Miss Marian J. Snook, Miss Charlotte Thompson, Mrs. Edw. Probert, Mrs. Hadwin Swain, Mrs. Frank Sum- ner, Miss Tessa Semple, Mrs. McMullin, Mrs. Samuel C. Bigelow, Mrs, F. Vas- sault, Miss Sarah D. Hamlin, Miss K, K. Commins, Miss Bigelow, Mrs. Frank J. Symmes, Mis, Ed May, Miss Moran, Mrs, Mary Prag, Mrs. J. T. Dare. The coming Jewish festival of Purim is always celebrated by jollity and rejoicing, as has been the custom of the Hebrew race from time immemorial. Consequently the Young Men’s Hebrew Union since its organization has never failed to recognize it. This year they will celebrate as in for- mer years by giving a prize Purim mask ball at the Native Sons of the Golden West Hall, to-merrow evening, the 16th inst. Handsome prizes will be given to lucky winners. The general public are invited and a good time is expected, as the com- mittee have spared no pains to make the affair a social success. — e Reappointed for Ninety Days. The Finance Commitice of the Board of Su- pervisors acceded yesterday to District Attor- ney Barnes' request that Attorney Hinkle, who has been employed in his office for six months past as a temporary assistant, be re- tained for ninety days more Mr. Barnes stated that both himselfand Assistunt Peixotto had been steadily empioyed on the Durrant case, and had not ned vime to look aiter other business. ————— There are 2487 different varieties of fire escapes and ladders to be used in emer- gencies, . 1x CHEAP WATER FOR SHIPS. The Grand Jury Asks Supervisors to Reduce Rates. the SPECIAL CONTRACT BURDENS. Jurors Called Into Court Concerning the Indictment of Peter F, Lane. The Grand Jury yesterday responded to a subpena to appear before Judge Befcher, Department 11, Superior Court, and an- swer questions concerning the indictment of Peter F. Lane. Carroll Cook, counsel for Lane, pro- pounded to each juror the following ques- tions: “Did you take part in finding the indict- ments against Peter F. Lane ?” “Had you before that matter was brought before the Grand Jury formed any opinion on the subject?”’ “Had you read about the case or heard anything relative to the defendant ?”’ Grand Juror John F. Cline acknowledged that he had read about the case and formed a partial opinion that Lane was guilty. Replying to questions addressed to him by District Attorney Barnes, Mr. Cline said: “The opinion was formed generally, and not on this particular case. I did not discuss the case outside of the jury-room.” Carroll Cook asked the witness this ques- tio “Can you deciare under oath that your opinion as a grand juror was not influ- enced by the newspaper reports which you read?” The witness replied affirmatively. Other jurors testified that they had formed no opinion whatever before the matter was brought to the Grand Jury. C. F. Curry, County Clerk, was the only witness called by the Grand Jury at the regular session yesterday afternoon, al- though frequent conferences were held with District Attorney Barnes. Mr. Curry was in the jury-room fully a half-hour. - He was asked all gorts of que s tions concerning his management of the County Clerk’s office, and particular ques- tions relating to Morris’ collection of fees for notarial certificates. Mr. Curry could not state the amount of money which Morris collected, or whether all that was collected had been turned in. The opinion was expressed by members of the Grand Jury that Morns’ collections in the aggregate did not constitute a large sum, Amorng the witnesses in waiting yester- day were Dr. Pescia and John Fey. " Some weeks ago the latter was assaulted by King McManus and two of the King's kinsfolk and received bruises and wounds which required medical attention. Late in the afternoon the witnesses were ex- cused, but the information was 1cceived that the case had not been ignored. Next Friday the subject may be taken up again The Grand Jury is in possession of im- portant d mentary evidence concerning the charges for water supplied to ships at the wharves of San Francisco. The dis- crimination is said to be startling. In some cases the water is supplied at a fixed and reasonable price per 1000 gallons, which will enable a vessel to get a suffi- cient supply for §25 or $30, while in other cases the cost runs up to $120 for a ship. Learning that the Board of Supervisors would vroceed next week with the duty of fixing water rates for the ensuing year the Grand Jury sent an important communi- cation to the board, recommending a re- duction of rates to consumers. Particular attention was directed to the onerous tax placed on the shipping in the barbor of San Francisco, and reference was made to the special privileges enjoved by the firm of Goodall, Perkins & Co. in sup- plying vessels with water. Under this contract or special privilege vessels are taxed as high as $1 25 per 1000 gallons. In some cases a monthly rate of $40 is charged to steamers that make two trips a month and do not use more than 14,000 gallons of water on a trip. The purpose of the Grand Jury is to im- press upon the Supervisors the necessity of relieving the commerce of San Fran- cisco from unjust and oppressive burdens. It is contended that it costs but little more to supply ships at the wharves than it does to supply manufacturing establish- ments on the water front. On shore the water is furnished at from 30 to 40 cents per 1000 gallons. A simple hose attach- ment constitutes about the only extra item of expense in supplying vessels. CARPENTERS OBJECT. They Ask That Policemen Be Kept on Patrol Duty and Not at Build- ing Statlons. The Carpenters’ District Council for San Francisco sent a petition to the Board of Supervisors vestercay asking that the custom of using policemen to do carpenter work about police stations be abolished. The document read as follows: Gentlemen: Your attention is most respect- fully called to a grivance felt by the carpen- ters of this City in regard to police oflicers working as carpenters and doing carpenter work, repairing and fitting up police stations of this City and County to the detriment of our interests as City carpenters. We respect- fully petition your honorable body to make the appropriation of a suflicient amount to pay for the labor, as well as the material used in such work. The Police Commissioners informed us thiat they d}d nmhh“; an, Bm’:}gprilllons of money for such work. They told us to appeal 0 your honorable body. PP We claim this to be an injustice on the community in the fact that the Chief of Police being short of the required number of men to do patrol duty to protect the lives and prop. erty of the oitizens and tlxpli’ers, and still m ore exposing to denger the lives and prop- erty of the people by withholding those men fromn the performance of those duties for which they were appointed and paid.

LEAGUE OF THE CROSS. The Boys Will Renew Their Pledge at St. Mary’s Cathedral To- Morrow. The members of the League of the Cross will renew their pledges at St. Mary's Cathedral at 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon.

The whole floor of the cathedral will be reserved for the boys, and the general public will be admitted to the gallery. A special musical programme will be ren- dered by the male choir of the cathedral under the direction of Rev. J. B. Han- nigan. The feature of the occasion will be the ainggng of the League of the Cross hymns by the whole congregation. Special prayers will be recited, and Arch- bishop Riordan will deliver the sermon. Then the boys will renew their pledges. PADEREWSKI PLAYS AGAIH Splendid Programme Rendered Before an Overflowing Audience. The San Francisco Women Show No Signs of Frantic Paderewski Mania. The first. Paderewski recital, given last Monday, left the population of this burg in doubt whether its feminine element was zoing to bow the neck to the great pianist’s yoke. Wednesday's recital showed almost conclusively that while it admired Pade- rewski as an artist it would not rave over him as an individual, and yesterday after- noon’s recital settled it. San Francisco is not to endure an epidemic of Paderewski mania. The applause yesterday, just as it had been on Wednesday, was warm, enthusi- estic even, but not & woman in the house split her gloves, and most of the fair ap- plauders tapped their hands gently to- gether in 2 way that looked effective, but did not produce a full-blown crescendo of sound. The men in the audience were about one to ten women, but, in spite of being in the minority, they countea as the noisiest factor in the recertion given to Paderewski's magnificent playing. The programme opened, as on the previ- ous occasion, with a_Beethoven sonata. Yesterday it was the E flat sonata, No. 3, and again Paderewski delighted all Beetho- ven lovers by his superb rendering of this master’s work. The rest of the programme was as follows: Two Songs Without Words, (spinning song). Carnaval - Etude, C sharp minor, N Valse, D flat, Nocturae, F sharp, No. 2, Sonata, B flat minor, with faneral mareh. Nocturne, No. 4, B flat Paderewski Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. 12 Liszt The great pianist showed his usual good nature in the matter of encores by repeat- ing the Mendelssohn “Spinning Song’ and the Chopin. waltz, and playing in ad- dition an etude in G flat by Chopin and the Paganini Liszt “Campanella.” At the close of the concert a few dozen enthusiastic ladies went round to the stage door to meet the pianist, but they made no extravagant demonstrations ot admira- tion, and in the California Theater itself the temiperature of the enthusiasm never rose above mild summer heat. —————— W. P. Foster’s Arrest. The friends of William P. Foster, the pros prietor of the Uriel Hotel, who was arrested on Thursday night on & charge ef grand larceny, have an explanation to advance for the affair. Dr. F. M. Sponogle stated yesterday that Mr. Foster was under treatment by him at the time and had been for some time previously. According to Dr. Sponogle Mr. Foster is sufter- ing from & nervous disorder which renders him frresponsible when excited by stimulants of any kind. The police had been notified of his condition and instructions had been issued to the patrolmen to bring Mr. Foster home whenever encoantered away from home. The case will be called to-day, but it is not thought that Mr. Foster will be well enough to attend. e g pai C Guilie Will Sing.

FULL OF HARDSHIPS, EXPOSURE AND CONSTANT DANGER. ichcpin The Great Strain on a Man's Nerves Sufficient in Itself to Wreck Him in @ Short Time — The Experience of a Well-Known Motorman. From the Cincinnati (Ohlo) Enquirer. The life of & motorman is not & bed of roses. He is subjected to many hardships, especially in the winter, when he is exposed to the cold and snow. Even in the summer he must bear the intense heat which beats down upon him. Considerable nerve and seli-possession is necessary in & good motorman, for the lives and limbs of his passengers are at stake. One of the best known electric motormen in this city is William Frazer, who is at present running & car on the Cumminsville electric e 15 not only well known to his fellow- loyes, but to° the people who travel Eis car. Mr. Frazer isa young man_about ears of age, and resides with his wife and child at 144 Betts street, Cincinnati, Ohio. Abouta year ago Mr. Frazer was taken with serious siomach troubles. He bought several kinds of medicine which were recom- mended to him, but none of them seemed to give him even temporary benefit. An enthusi- astic admirer of that famous ren:edy known as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People told him to try them. Frazer was almost discour- aged, but took theadvice. To a reporter of the Enquirer he sai “I can most heartily recommend Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills. They are all that is claimed for them, in fact they advertise themselves petter than any medicine [ ever saw. I was seized some time ago with a bad attack of in- digestion. My stomach hurt me nearly all the time and I could not dlfe!t my food. The ain was almost unbearable and I found noth- ng that would give me relief. I confess that when I bought the first box of Pink Pills I badn’t much confidence in their efllclcg‘ because I had tried so many things with- out success that was aimost discour- aged. Before I had taken one box I Was decidedlr better. Two boxes cured me entirely. While I have been under the weather from other causes my indigestion has never returned. If it ever should I know just what todo. I have so much confidencein the ef- ficacy of Pink Pillsthat if I ever get real sick again with any disorder I shall use some of them. 1t is a pleasure for me, I assure you, to testify to the excellent qualities of these Pink em on 26 Pills. They not only tone the stomach, but regulate e 18 end act as a mild cathartic.” Mr. Frazer's testimonial means something. He speaks from personal experience and any one who doubts that he received the benefits stated can easily verify the assertion by celling on Mr. Frazer or seeing him some time while he is on his car. - Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the ele- ments necessary to give new life and richness &9 the blood end restore shattered nerves. hey are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or 100) at 50 cents & box, or six boxes for $2 50, and .may be had of all drug- asu directly,or by mail from.
