VERY EASY FOR PEPPER, Captured the Rich Crocker Stake at Ingleside Without Effort. 1896. was the stellar attraction of the day. Five went to the post to try for the rich $2000 prize. From a racing standpoint the event was a disappointment, for Pepper won in hollow style. Decided under selling con- ditions, Pat Dunne’s brown horse was in with but ninety-eight poundsin the sad- dle, and ruled a hot 9 to 20 favorite in the betting. Flirtilla, second choice in the betting, made the pace for six furlongs, when Sloan, on Fred Gardner, let out & wrap, and the cbestnut horse made the running up to the last six furlongs. Coch- ran_then gave the favorite his head, and taking the lead, the son of Hindoo passed the wire the easiest of winners, with Flirtilla finishing in place, six lengths in made all the running, but when headed once, less than a furlong from the wire, by Talbot Clifton’s jumper, The Lark, it looked all up with ~him, but he responded to Spence’s call and passed the stand half a length in front. Track and Paddock Items. The ring was hit hard by the victory of Sir Reel. The Iadies as well as the plung- ers had a bet on him, and the lines were very lengthy back of the bookmakers’ stands after the race.: Hello, who is considered a very sure jumper, tumbled at the very first jump and dislodged his rider, George Cochran, Brunings and Hamilton were appointed a committee to acquire information as to the most feasible method of obtaining the desired improvement. > The secretary was instructed to notify all bicycle-dealers to attend the meeting next Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock. WILL NOT BITUMINIZE. The Folsom - Street Boulevard Must ‘Wait Until the Next Fiscal Year. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday that the and now they had been able.toembrace them. ““We beg him to garry to all other confederations our salutations, and to take the same courage and hope to the nnhappy elsewhere that he has brought to us.” Aiter Mrs. Gaffe’s speech there was ]upq applause, followed by cries of “Gori. The: anarchist responded by making & brief speech. ‘Friends, there are mo- ments when in the silence of our ideas the heart speaks more than words. A dis- course in this meeting of friends would be out of place, and I will try to sum up my feelings for you, my friends and sym- pathizers, in a few poor words. “I thank you, and I will carry to other toilers your fraternal salutations.

THAT WILL BE A START. Then They Will Go After the Other Streets That Offend the Eye. BOARD OF TRADE ORGANIZED Wheelmen, Liverymen, Horsemen and Others Will Be Asked to Assist. The intimation given out that during the present year the cable systems of Mar- ket and Howard streets would be replaced by an electric streetcar system has caused the dealers in bicycles, as well as bicyclists tliemselves, to do considerabl thinkfng. >an Francisco is about the worst paved City for its s in Christendom, and the wheelmen here, as well as elsewhere, have been the first to appreciate the fact. Last x ight a large meeting of bicycle- as held in the parlors of Thomas H. B. Varney’s bicycle establishment on Market street. The meeting was called to order by H. J. Bryan, who made an ad- dress setting forth the objects of the or- ganization, the chief one of which was to get good streets. Good streets advanced the sale of bicycles and helped tratfic and business in general. The speaker gave some interesting stanstics. Paris with a population of 2,500,000 had 150,000 bicy centage of 6 in eve tion. Washington, D. ( tion of 250,000 had 11,000 wheelmen, or about 43¢ in every I Chicago had 1,200,000 population and 60,000 wheelmen, X of the popula- with a popula- or 5 per cent of the population.

If we can get to- er with the Merchants’ Association, > horsemen and the bicycle clubs we can ay to a candidate, ‘Ate you going to give us good streets?’ and if he 1s not in favor sve can unite against him,” added Mr. ohrig called attention to the fact that a few years ago Mayor Pond made a great effort toward the paving of Market street with bitumen, but nothing what- ever came of it. The Democratic nominee and the Republican nominee for Superin- nt of Streets promised that they d give good streets, but the man who was elected did not keep his promise. Mr. ohrig could not see that anything could be effected in a political way unless they » their own candidate. Buckleton suggested that the bi- cycle-dealers of San Francisco shonld form into an association with sev- eral objects for the benefit of the business. He suggested the formation of a board of tra W.

Morrill suggested the appoint- ut of a committee to adopt a constitu- e remarked that there besides good streets that le busin Twelve were associated tog vcle clubs, nd their co-operation, as well as that of the liverymen and carriage-men, could be secured. He told about a man who drove a §250 buggy about the streets for six years and who bad to -put itin the repair-shop | every two mohths. Tlie secretary was of the opinion that it not answer to go into politics, but d could appoint good committees rk the matter up. The lighting of rk was another improvement which anization could advocate, K of the Bicycle Protective ion pledged the assistance of the represented by him. Conwell said that to bituminize street it would be necessary to € a petition signed by a eertain per- eof the foot frontage.

This will be a severe blow to the advo- cates of the Folsom boulevard, it having been hoped by the property-owners that the proposed new pavement on the blocks mentioned would be an entering wedge for the complete bituminizing of the thorough- fare. For the same reason the committee refused to recommend the reconstruction of Steuart, between Folsom and Harrison, or the grading of Twenty-first from Sanchez to Noe. All of these improvements will be pro- vided for in the appropriation for the next fiscal year. DICK WILLIAMS INDICTED Collector Wise Unable to Save the Custom-House In- spector. The Federal Grand Jury Will Return a True Bill—His Dismissal Expected. The United States Grand Jury will in- dict Richard Williams to-day. This action was decided upon when the body met last Tuesday. ‘Williams is the Custom-house inspector whom Collector Wise has been making such a hard fight to save. But even the | influence of the Collector has failed to save Williams, and his scalp will now dangle atthe belt of Special Agent Moore of the Treasury Department. An indict- ment by the Grand Jury will be equal to a dismissal, and it is probable that Secretary Carlisle will telegraph the Collector to have his favored inspector placed on the retired list. Collector Wise has stood by Williams through all his troubles, but is now forced to retire from the field in favor of his old enemy of the treasury service, Major Moore. The belief is general in Federal circles |that the trial of Williams will develop ome racy matters relative to the contro- versy which has been going on for some time between Collector Wise and Major Moore. And the indictment of Williams will only increase this long-standing antag- onism. Wise 1s bitter against Moore, and Moore is not burdened with love for Wise. And so with such a strong and uncompromising hatred between two high officials of the United States Govern- ment the subordinates in the different de- partments of the service are watching the outcome with great expectancy. | The Wiliiams case is said tobe only a side issue of the fight between Moore and His passing from the scenes of his former activity and usefulness is of little moment. He will join the great proces- sion of soreheads that daily sun them- selves in front of the big building on { Washington street and discuss the glories of the past and the sorrows of the precent. Williams was only a Customs Inspector. He conversed witk the Chinese in their native tongue, and being otherwise smooth of speech and thrifty of step, he was especially prized by the Collector of the Port. But in an absent-minded hour, |itis said of him, he allowed the shifty Mongolian to drop a few yellow coins into {his hand, and, presto, change. Some | native sons and daughters of the Chinese empire were unlawfully landed at this port. That is one of the reasons why *Dick” Williams will be indicted by the Federal Grand Jury to-d: SERVCES OF LY WEEK His Grace the Archbishop Officiates at the Cathe- dral. Impressive Ceremonies, Eloquent Ser- mons and Large Attendance of Worshipers. Large congregations are attending the Holy Week services in the Catholic churches. At the Cathedral yesterday morning his Grace the Archbishop cele- brated the pontifical mass and consecrated the holy oils. The ceremonies were most impressive, the procession of the holy eucharist being one of the most striking teatures of the imposing service. i __The Archbishop was attended by the Very Rev. J. J. Prendergast, Vicar- General, as assistant priest; Revs. P, J. Cummings and_Peter S. Casey as deacons ot honor, and Revs. Charles Ramm and Joseph Conway as deacon and sub-deacon at the altar. The masters of ceremonies, Revs. Joseph F. Byrne and T. Mulligan, evidently understood their business, for the long and intricate ceremonial was gone through without a single hitch. About twenty priests took part in the service, besides the required number of dea- cons and sub-deacons, all robed in vest- ments of cloth of gold according to the rank of each. The chanters during the consecration of the holy oils were Revs. J. ¥. Byrne and Jerome Hannigan. The repository for the encharist is magnifi- | cently adorned with flowers, lights and hangings, transforming St. Joseph’schapel into a bower of beanty. In the evening the rosary was recited and a sermon on the institution and per- petnation of the eucharistic sacrament and sacrifice delivered by Father Conway. io-ay bis Grace the Archbishop will officiate at the morning service, being attended by Father Ramm as deacon and Father Conway as sub-deacon. The *‘passion’ will be sung in a most impres- sive manner, Father Byrne taking the part of the Saviour, Father Conway that of the | evangelist and Father Hannigan that of the rabble. In the evening the Arch- bishop will lead in the devotion of the “Way of the Cross,” the “Stabat Mater” being sung by the male choir of the Cathedral. A sermon will also be preached by the Rev. Father Byrne on the sufferings and death of Christ, considered in their practi- cal bearings uven the spiritual life of to- day. Father Byrne, who is a ‘mative son,” is much admired for the depth and ornginality of bis sermons, which in the opinion of competent judges cannot be ex- celled as forcible and elegant presentations of Catholic teachings. ——————— Zola would not take honors asa gourmet.

Ladies’ Day Drew the Usual Big Crowd—Babe Murphy Downed Adolph Spreckels Driving. Reopening day at Ingleside track was attended by a big crowd. The public seem to repose a confidence in the racing at the new track that is lacking at the old one, especially since the Little Pete exposure, and the betting-ring is always crowded. The occasion was also ‘‘Ladies’ day,” and | the fair sex filled the grand stand. The excellent band added to the gayety of the scene, discoursing popular airs during the intervals between races, and as four of the six first choices reached the wire in front the talent and the crowd in general voted the day’s sport & most enjoyable one. The electric annunciator in the betting- ring proved quite a novelty. As the horses flash past the wire an electric light il- | luminates the numbers of the first three. The numbers are conspicuously displayed at one end of the betting-ring and much | questioning and confusion isavoided by the new innovation. The track was in fine condition and good | time was made in the different events. Starter Dick Havey dispatched bis fields quickly, and in a manner that was a revelation.

The favorite ‘was third. The six-furlong run under selling condi- tions, that was next called, resulted in a very pretty contest between the 9 to5 secona choice Kowalsky and the outsider Toano. The latter and the 4 to 5 favorite William Pinkerton raced out in front at a great clip up to the stretch, when the lat- ter had enough. Kowalsky then came on and in a hard drive won by a head. The Spreckels entry Gallant was third. The most exciting finish of the day was furnished at the conclusion of tne mile and a sixteenth selling event. It ended in a victory for the even money choice, Babe Murphy, but only after a hard struggle with the second choice, Adolph Spreckels. The Corrigan entry took the lead on the backstretch, swinging around the turn tor home a length before the favorite. Ina hard drive to thke wire Babe managed to reach the finishing point first by a neck. Uncle Giles was a fair third. The presence of Magnet caused all but Logan and Sam Leake to scratch out of the fifth event at seven furlongs. Dan Honig’s crack was a prohibitive 1 to 6 fa- vorite and won all by himself, with Logan finishing in the place. The final race of the day, the mile and three-eighths over five hurdles, was taken in a hard drive by Sir Reel, backed down from 3 to 2 to even money.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wasm., April 2.— Lorin Chase, the son of a prominent pio- neer family here, yesterday met th an accident which may cost him his life. He was driving a team in Bishop’s logging camp and when hauling down hill was caught between two logs and his right leg crushed to a jelly. He was brought here this morning on a steamer and taken to a hospital, where a surgeon amputated a leg twenty hours after the accident. The young man’s life is despaired of. 15 NOT THE STRANGLER, What the Police Have Been Able to Learn About Julius Festner. He Will Be Examined by the Insan- ity Commissioners as to His Mental Condition. Julius Festner of Omaha, Neb., who in- sulted Miss Fennell of Hyde and Pine streets Wednesday night, is apparently not the man who strangled Mamie Mc- Dermott and Bertha Paradis, but it has not yet been shown that he was not the man who attempted to strangle Irene Phillips and Laura Petit. Yesterday morning Detective Bohen, who has had charge of the strangling cases, saw Festner in his padded cell in the Receiving Hospital and he was struck by his similarity to the man describea by | several women who attempted to strangle them. Half a dozen of these women had a look at Festner in the hospital and they all said they had never seen him before. Detective Bohen went for Irene Phillips and Laura Petit, but found they had gone to the races. 1t was his intention to get them to call at the hospital last night, but he de- cided it would be better to wait till this morning. | A young lady who was followed by a| man on Pacific Heights about ten days ago | and insulted also had alook at Festner | vesterday, but failed to recognize him. Detective Bohen made itquiries about Festner yesterday and ascertained that he | left Omaha on March 12 for this City. He would arrive here about four days later, so that disposed of the suspicion that he was the man who strangled Mamie McDer- | wott and Bertha Paradis. As stated in | vesterday’s UALL he registered at the Gol- | den West Hotel on March 22, and his | movements from the time of his arrival | till that date are not yet known. The police have ascertained that Fest- ner was intoxicated most of the time he nas been here. He was a familiar figure | 1n several well-known_sporting saloons in | the “tenderloin district,” where he fur- | nished amusement to the patrons by play- | inilhe zither. rederick Louderback, a zither player, who has rooms in the Supreme Court building, knew Festner fifteen years ago in Omaha. He called upen Louderback | about a fortnight ago, who observed that | he acted strangely and the thought came | to Lim that he had lost his reason. After his first visit Festner visited Louderback | frequently and borrowed small sums of money from him. Policeman McLaughlin, who arrested | Festner Wednesday night, swore to a complaint yesterday morning charging him with ‘insanity. Miss Fennell and | some of her friends accompanied Mec- | Laughlin. Festner was taken before | Judge Wallace for examination, but he was remanded tiil to-day to enable the | olice to get witnesses. Festner was vio- | ent in his cell all yesterday and had to be | strapped down. | particularly the / ing On. WAS THE ROYAL MARCH. And Gori’s Followers Did Not Relish Its Particular Strain. FAREWELL BANQUET TO GORI Speeches Made and Toasts Drunk. The Anarchist Leaves To.Day for Los Angeles. s of this City and the inti- mate friends and admirers of Pietro Gori gave a grand farewell banquet to their leader vesterday evening at the new Tos- cano Hotel on Broadway. To-day he leaves for Los Angeles, en route for Cuba, | and the anarchists expect to ieel, for a time at least, like sheep without a shep- herd. There were over fifty persons at the ban- quet last night, about- ten of them being lady converts to the principles which Gori | expounds. There was no doubt about those principles last night; they were expressed ai brief intervals all through the banquet, both in song and speech. A brass band, stationed |ina room adjoining the banquet hall, be- gan to play the ‘‘Marseillaise” about the | time the olives were being served, and the | keen edge of the guests’ appetites did not prevent nine-tenths of those present from joining lustily in the refrain “To Arms, Citizens.” | It was not the “Marsellaise,” however, | but the “‘Royal March’ of Italy that was the sensation of the evening. The musicians | had found the **Marsellaise’” and encores | to the “Marsellaise’” such a complete suc- cess that they were emboldened to try the | effect of the “Royal March.” No sooner did the patriotic strains strike the ears of the anarchists than there was a storm of whistles and catcalls. The band plaved on, but before many seconds had passed the players saw that the air was dense with a shower of projectiles that were thrown over the frail partition sepa- rating the bandroom from the banquet- ing-room. Bitsof paper, bread, bananas— anything light and airy that came first to | hand was seized by the anarchists and hurled amid a shower of hisses at the per- formers, who had the audacity to play the “*Royal March.” ‘The musicians escaped without any more | serious injury than the shock 10 their nerves, but a small, hard loaf entered the mouth of the tromba and hecame so firm wedged there that the instrument was ur fitted for further usefulness for the rest of the evening. After the experience with the *“Royal March”” the trombaless band confined itself to the *‘Marseillaise’ | and the “Garibaldi Hymn" for the end of the evening, and as a reward there was nothing but approbation and applause. The guests also sang a number ot Pietro Gori’s “Anarchici Rivoluzionari” songs, *‘Farewell u Lugano” and “fl Primo Maggio” (“*Ihe First of May”). as, of course, the guest of honor, de him sat G. B. Cevasco, proprie- tor of the newspaper La Voce del Popolo, while A. Serafini, his friend ana disciple, sat opposite, and G. Buzzoni, editor of the Triump of Thought, sat close at hand. The banquet was an excellent one, served in thorough Italian style. Toward its close Signora A. Gaffe, the lady orator of the Italian colony, was called on for a speech. The lady replied by alluding to what Gori had achieved during his two months’ stay in this City. Shesaid he had taught principles of gentleness and peace, the principles of the future.

He suffered from exhaustion, exposure, cold and overwork. In his own words: The Edwin W.
