16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1896. GRAND JURY'S DAYLIGHT RAID, The Almshouse and Hos- pital Attaches Sur- prised. TWO UNEXPECTED VISITS Deplorable Condition of Affairs at the City and County Hospital. THE POORHOUSE INDORSED. Long Session of the Jury Last Night. Almshouse Management Highly Commended. The Grand Jury yesterday succeeded in effecting a daylight surprise on the Alms- house and City and County Hospital. Without a word of warning, al or pre- monition of their approach, fifteen mem- bers of the Grand Jury, led by Foreman Frank Maskey, suddenly alighted from velLicles at the gates of the Almshouse, and were inspecting the instituticn before the officers and inmates of the place knew what had happened. The same tactics were employed at the City and County Hospital. When the superintendent and his large staff of as- sistants were least expecting an official call, the grand jurors were atthe doors, ready to see the way things are managed at the institution in every-day style. The Almshouse was found in first-class condition. The members of the jury made their advent at the noon hour, when the midday food was on the table. They ate the food, looked into the rooms, closely examined the kitchen and supply-rooms, went over the grounds and talked with the superintendent. They ascertained that the Jatter knew his business; that he was posted on prices and quality of pro- visious in aaily use, and had an exact knowledge of details as well as general administrative knowledge. At the City and County Hospital a de- plorable condition of affairs was disclosed. The supplies were not of the best order, the rooms were not cleanly and the insti- tion did not appear to be conducted in a manner worthy of commendation. Whether these faults are due to the Hos- pital Committee of the Board of Super- visors or to the Board of Health only the official report of the Grand Jury will re veal. It is the impression that the City and County Hospital needs more atten- | tion from the Supervisors. The Magdalen Asylum was also visited by the swift-moving fifteen and a thorough survey of the management made. Last evening the Grand Jury had a special meeting at the jury-room in the City Hall and reviewed the day’s work. The members congratulated themselves and praised the foreman for the secrecy enjoined in planning the movement and the accuracy in the execution of plans. It was the particular desire of the jury to get at the colq, inside facts, and mem- bers were gifted with sufficient sagacity to perceive that any heralding in advance of their visit would put the managers of the institutions on their guard and defeat the purpose of the expedition. The session last night was prolonged until a late hour. The topic discussed was a report of the expedition, which will be transmitted to the Board of Health i the form of an official communication, The report will set forth that the mem- bers of the Grand Jury, animated by a sense of public duty and guided by a desire to promote the public good and 1 no wise influenced by partisan prejudice, visited these institutions. It is believed that the report will frankly and_explicitly state that {he jury found the Almshouse in excellent condition and admirably man- aged throughout. It is sure that the City and County Hos- vital will not be commended, but it is not certain that the management will be cen- sured. The whole subject-matter of the management of this institution may be deferred until another time. From the best information attainable the official communication will go to the Board of Health to-day. The report under consideration last night was fully dis- cussed. Some members were in favor of amplification, but the sentiment seemed to be in favor of a concise statement of the fact that a special com- mittee had visited these institutions, and while the jury had the utmost confi. dence in the integrity and judgment of the members constituting the special com- mittee, it was deemed advisabie for the jury in a body to visit the Almhouse and Hospital. Then the report will state dis- tinctly what was found lacking and what was found existing. In the preparation of the report Secre- tary McLennan was assisted by Theodore Payne, Adolphus Bull, W. Arthur Price and others. At 11 o’clock the jury had not agreed as to the exact language of the document. Fourquet’s Misfortunes. Joe Fourquet, 670 Montgomery avenue, was dischargea from the service of the San Fran. cisco District Telegraph Company yesterda morning, because he charged 5 cents too muc) for & message. An hour later he was riding on a bicycle on Market street, and when oppoc site Stockton, he fell off. He was taken to the NEW TO-DAY. NO REST NO SLEEP DAY ORNICHT My hands were completely covered with Ee. zema, and between my fingers the skin was porfectly raw. I had to sit with both hands held up, and away from the fire. My husband had to dress and undress mo like a baby. I tried the beat physiciane, but their mediciriea gave me no relief, and drove mo almost crazy. I was ad. vised to try CUTICURA RExEDIZS, and did so, although my husband had to go twenty miles to them. As soon as he got back, I used the UPICURA, and in five minutes afier the first appiication I 1was’ perfectly cary, and dlept At Beforo soundly all that ni using the CUTICURA REMEDIES I could get no ease night or day. I could not bear to get warm, it would put me in a rage of itching. I always keep the CURA REMEDIES in my house now, and recommend them o everybody, because of their wonderful effect. _Yours gratefully, AGNESM. HARRIS, Push, Mecklenburg Co.

CHINESE KNIFE-WIELDER. Ah Sing Stabbed by Ah Sick on Jack- son Street Last Night. Ah Sick and Ah Sing, two Chinese cheap-store merchants, became tangled up in a personal altercation last night on Jackson street and Ah Sick used a knife of seven-inch blade with some effect. % Ah Sing was slightly cut on the left side of the breast and in the arm, The knife- slashes were superficial and will not prove as serious as the wielder of the steel un- doubtedly wished at the time. 5 | Sing was taken to the Reeceiving Hospi- tal to have the holes in his skin darned with surgeon’s silk and Ah Sick sojourns at the California-street station awaiting developments. The anatomical carving was the result of one of the usual Chinese mix-ups. Ah Sick says his victim was dressing a chicken and fell on his knife. Ah Sing, the vic- tim, failed to substantiate the chicken story, but says the knife was much in evidence. — DISCUSSED EVOLUTION. Charles A. Keeler of Berkeley Lectures Before the Academy of Sciences. Charles A. Keeler of Berkeley lectured last night at the Academy of Sciences upon *‘Natural Selection and Heredity.” He said that natural selection, or the survival of the fittest, was not, as so many persons thought, the presetvation of plant and animal forms that are most deserving of life, but the survival of those best adapted to live under the peculiar existing conditions. The phrase was a misnomer, be declared, from its very implication of conscious choice. It is a process that pre- serves but does not eliminate. Environ- ment is responsible for the thinning out of species. The next lecture of the course will be by Professor Bernard Moses of the Uni- versity of California, who will discuss the “Economic Aspect of Spamish Rule in | America.” BOTH LEGS AMPUTATED, Terrible Accident to Joseph Fagan, a Boy 17 Years of Age. Found on the Side of the Southern Pacific Track on Harrison Street. ing with his parents at 9 Alameda street, | had both of his legs amputated atthe City and County Hospital last night by Drs. | Stahle and Dudley. At 9:30 o’clock Joe Wilbron, 2717 How- | ; Joseph Fagan, a boy 17 years of age liv- | police station that a boy was lying on the side of the Southern Pacific track on Har- | rison street, between Seventeenth and | Eignteenth, with both legs fearfully | crushed. Policemen Connolly and Siat- | tery were sent with the patrol wagon and | conveyed the boy to the hospital. He was almost unconscious from ex- | cessive pain, and it was with difficulty the z surgeons could get from him his | name and address. Then he was put un- der anesthetics and his legs were am- putateq, the right near the knee and the | left near the ankle. How the accident occurred is so far a mystery. A freight train leaves Third and Townsend streets at 9 o’clock and it is | presumed that young Fagan had been | stealing a ride on it, and in jumping off had fallen with his legs under the wheels. N6 one saw the accident, and how long | he had lain there before he was discovered | is not known. He may bave fallen off an | incoming train or been stealing a ride on it.

WILL BISE ABOVE THE FROST, Cold Waves That Bring Big Prices With Them. THE HIGHEST IN YEARS. Twenty-Five Dollars a Ton Freely Offered for Grapes. ONE-HALF OF THE CROP GONE. Prices Will Offset the Loss and the Grower Will Prosper Anyway. Grapes have gone up, crops have gone down, and between the two conditions the growers have not much of an idea as to where they are. In Healdsburg and Santa Rosa wine men are offering $25 a ton for good grapes, and in St. Helena the prices offered are about the same, but old Father Frost has left but few grapes upon the vines, com- paratively speaking, and the growers do not know whether these bitter cold nights have been a benefit or a curse. There will probably be half acrop in Sonoma Valley and about the same in Napa Valley. One telegram from Napa to the Wine-makers’' Association an- nounced that the crop in the vicinity of St. Helena had been ruined, and St. Helena for miles around is surrounded with vineyards. It is nearly fifteen years since grapes | have been as high as $25 a ton, even at this season of the year. It hasfrequently | happened that along in the early spring | offers have been maae at prices far ex- | ceeding the prices finally paid in the fall, but in no case has it, even in early spring, reachea $25. Such prices have actually been offered, however, and the frosts of the last few nights have been responsible. It is estimated that the grape crop for | the year will be about one-half the usual | output. In Calistoga, the town at the up- per end of the Napa Valley vineyard dis- trict, the mercury went down to 27 de- | grees, Fahrenheit. In Sonoma Valley it | went down to 32 and below; in Fresno it | went down far enough to blacken the viues and blight the crop, and throughout the State the cold wave has robbed the farmers of millions of dollars. So far as the vineyardmen are concerned, however, the big prices offered for grapes will in a great measure offset the ravages | of the cold wave. Grapes at $25 a ton is something which has not been heard of | for years. Before the frost came $16, $18 and $20 were good prices, and many vine- | yardists did not hesitate to sell at those | prices, but since the frosty mornings have | ran their course grapes have jumped to an | increase of from $5 to $9 a ton. Andrea Sbarboro, secretary of the Italian-Swiss Colony, which has 1000 acres of vines at Asti, near Cloverdale, has re- ceived a letter from the superintendent of | the vineyard which gives some idea of the damage donein the Sonoma Valley. The Italian-Swiss Colony has a vinevard which has never been badly frosted, i Captain W. L. McLaine, Stanford’s Brilliant Pitcher, on Whom His University Bases Its Hopes in To-Morrow’s Intercollegiate Match. and since it was planted there have been been some bad frosts in the valley, but the superintendent, L. Vasconi, writes that this year there will be but half a cron. Sunday night, he says, robbed the vines of half the newly formed bunches, and should it be frosty again Monday night almost the entire crop would be ruined. From Napa Valley there came the news that there was but little better prospect, and in the southern part of the State the cold fingers of the frost have robbed the raisin vine and the wine vine alike. There is this to say, however. in mitiga- tion of the damage done—without it prices would have dropped badly, for the indica- tions all pointed 1o a very full crop. Prices were not very high before the frost, and the prospect was that they would fall much lower if the crop materialized. Mr. Sbarboro of the Italian-Swiss colony is of the opinion that while the frost was a bad one its effect has been to raise the price 8o high as to almost compensate for the loss of the crop. ‘“We have never had any serious frost since we organized the colony,” he szid last evening, ‘‘but the superintendent writes me a very hopeless letter,” and he read the note already quoted. ‘‘The effect, however, has been to raise the vrice of grapes very materially, for a little while ago but $16 and $18 were offered. Grapes have not been so high since 1881. Then $25 and $30 were offered, but since then there has been a steady de- cline. The California Wine-makers’ As- sociation did much to keep the prices up, but even with that association the prices have remained low. I believe that we will bave but half a crop, and we are well situated as regards frost. What then must be the condition of others? “I think, also, that the prices of wine will follow the prices of grapes. We have been shipping a great deal of wine East under the low freights, and most of the small cellars, and, indeed, the large ones, too, are empty, or nearly so. -The ruling prices have been about 15 cents, but this must go up with the price of grapes. There was danger from the outlook early in the year that there would be too big a crop, that the grapes would come in in such quanti- ties as to swamp the market, but the frost has stopped this, and if there is nothing else there will be at least good prices. I would not be surprised if prices would go even to $30 a ton.” Reports from Healdsburg, parts of Santa Clara, Sonoma, Fresno and other wine and vine districts show that prices are advancing rapidly, and the man who has a good crop of grapes has the chance of a lifetime, The prices are higher than they have been in many years, and the outlook is that they will be higher. The frost has given them a lift which may be permanent under existing circumstances; and the frost may not be so bad after ail, for the bitter cold air which shriveled bunches has been tempered with gold, and those who have a crop at all will sell once more for the prices which used to rule when grape-growing was in its infancy. WILL FAVOR THIS CITY, Endeavorers Convinced That 25,000 Delegates Could Be Housed. Big Convention of '97 in a Fair Way to Spend Five Days and Some Money Here. This City is in a fair way to secure the Christian Endeavor convention for 1897. Theofficers high in authority in the great organization have come to have a look at San Francisco to see if it is suited to the entertainment of thousands of delegates and they have gone away with smiles on their faces that augur well for San Fran- cisco’s success when it comes to a vote at | this year’s convention, to be held at Wash- ington in July. This convention is & bigger thing and means more to San Franciscoin a financial way probably than the Republican con- vention would have meant. At the Wash- ington convention 60,000 regular delegates are expected. There were 46,000 delegates at the convention’of 1895, held in Boston. It is stated that fully 25,000 or 30,000 dele- gates may be expected to attend the con- vention here. ‘What that implies may be figured out by the merchants to whom appeals will be mede t> help raise the $20,000 neces- sary for the expenses. The convention will be in session from a Wednesday night until a Monday night. Each of the 25,000 delegates will pay his own expenses for meals, carfare and sundries during those five days, a fair estimate peing $10 spent by each individual or $400,000 by the whole delegation without taking into considera- tion what the Easterners may be expected to spend for souvenirs of their visit. This is the way the proposition wasdis- cussed at arousing meeting of Endeavorers held in the Y. M. C. A. building last nignt. There were 1000 young people in attend- ance, and it was the first of a series of meetings they will hold to raise convention funds. Last night each one present con- tributed as many 1-cent pieces as he or she wn]s years old, and a big sackiul was the re- sult. Rolla V. Watr telegraphed to Los Angeles yesterday asking how much La Fiesta cost the city, his purpose being to make comparisons for tge expected’ con- vention. The reply came that the citizens of Los Angeles contributed $19,000 for La Fiesta of 1895, and $24,500 for the fete now in progress. He thinks that as a business proposition alone San Francisco ought to clear very much more on a convention of 25,000 people than Los Angeles from the visitors to La Fiesta. J. 8. Webster adaressed the meeting last night. He said that the visit of William Shaw, the treasurer of the World’s Society of Christian Endeavor, that now numbers several million members, started for San Jose during the day completely satisfied that San Francisco is the place for the next convention. President Clark and Secretary Bear, who were here looking about before him, also went away with the same opinion. All the societies concerned have agreed to §ta;d ®ood for $5000 of the $20,000 re- quired. _One feature that would have been a se- rious drawback to California’s chance was the transportation rate, but even that promises to be obviated, as the railroad companies have intimated that when the time comes for the consideration of the matter they will give a satisfactory rate. 1t would Tequire the Mechanics’ Pavilion and two immense tents to accommodate the meetings, three of 5000 each being held three times a day. ————————— She Threatened Suicide.

THE BIG MATCH TO-MORROW Berkeley, Stronger Than Ever Before, Will Try to Break Her Old Hoodoo. The Varsity nine at the Stanford Uni versity in tiding over what is to the Palo Alto team an off year in baseball isrelying upon the skill of its only remaining vet- eran player, McLaine, its captain and pitcher, to hold the championship from he University of California and to com- plete an unbroken record of five years’ supremacy over the blue and gold on the baseball field. To-morrow afternoon the two university nines meet on the campus at Berkeley for the first of a series of thre2 games to de- cide the annual championship. Itis gen- erally conceded by the partisans of both teams that this year California has the | most favorable opportunity she has yet possessed to demolish the Berkeley hoo- doo on baseball. : McLaine is naturally a pitcher. As a child up in the little mining town of Vol- cano, Amador County, where he was born twenty-two years ago, he showed a re- markable accuracy in throwing stones, and later, when his parents moved to San Francisco and he entered St. Mathew’s Hall at San Mateo, his skill gained him immediate recognition as the phenomenal young pitcher of his school, a reputation that remained with him up to the time of his graduation in ’91. For several years he occupied the box in every game that his school team played with ~Belmont School, the University of the Pacific, Trin- ity School and the local nines of the towns in the Santa Clara Valley. And those were the days when baseball was at its ze- nith. In 1892 he entered Stanford and made the Varsity in his freshman year. Now, in his senior year, he is in the fourth season. This year, while the Berkeley team has been more fortunate than formerly, it has not received any additions from other col- leges, whereas the best new man on the Stanford Varsity was on the Vanderbilt University team last year, and another ad- dition is the brother of “‘Pick’ Sharp, the professional ball-player. 5 McLaine is not what is called a “strike- out pitcher.” He depends more upon his careiul control in placing the ball just where the batter will be least able to get at it for an effective hit. His best curve is a high in that shoots suddenly so close to the batter’s neck that if he succeed in hii ting it he does so close up on the handle of the bat. McLaine is & nephew of Henry Crocker j of this City and at college is a member of the Fiji fraternity and of the senior society of Sigma Sigma. f to-morrow is a very warm day there should be an exhibition of pitehing, for it takes hot weather for a pitcher to perform at his best.
