A lady andtwo men entered Judge Low’s courtroom -‘yesterday -afternoon while a case was i’ progress’ and created a mild { sensation by interrupting the proceedings. “I' want to surrender this man.” said |the lady, excitedly, as she jabbed her fore- .| finger several times on the shoulder of one of the men. “This is Frank Stocking and Lam on his bond.” ‘“Come here, Stocking,” said the Judge from the bench, and Stocking, who seemed struck dumb with surprise, walked me- chanically forward, followed by the lady, who was Mrs. Golding. There was a briel conversation and the Judge ordered the bailiff to take Stockin to the City Prison, e Slockmg, alias Williams, was arrested some weeks ago on the charge of perjury. He went on a bond accepted by Judg Conlan in which he declared he was the owner of property on’ Octavia street. An investigation by Judge Conlan revealed the fact that Stocking did not own the pmflerly. hence his arrest. ‘The case is on Judge Low’s calendar for to-day. His sureties, Mrs. Golding and ‘George Duffield, became alarmed that he might not face nis trial, and yesterday they went to him and prevailed upon him to.accompany them to court, telling him the case was to be heard yesterday instead of to-day.

The: letters con- tained a request for a friendly exchange of ideas as to the price for which the ceme- | teries association would be willing to sell the property. In response to this invitation the presi- dents met Messrs. Maguire, Center and Walker of the improvement club and ex- pressed their willingness not only to sell | the property for the purpose™ntended, but | | promised to make the price as low as possi- | ble. They could not state at what price | the property could be offerad until the | subject should be brought before the ceme- | teries association, which they promised to | do at an early date. | Both Messrs. Brown and Anspacher | bave issued a call for a meeting of the | board of directors of their respective asso- ciations for the early part of next weck, at which definite conclusions will be arrived | at and a price fixed at which the property will be offered to the City. | When this is done the Mission Club | will preseént the facts to the Supervisors and ask that the amount be inciuded in next year’s tax levy. The views of both the presidents of the cemeteries -‘were expressed yesterday. Mr. Brown said: “Speaking for the Hills of Eternity association, I am in favor of selling the property to the City for park purposes cheaper than I would to private individuals. On no account will Ibe a party to placing a fancy price npon- the ground simply apse it is sought for by | the people. -~ We are willing to bear our | pro rata of taxes for public improvements —and I must say that this is one of tnat class which meets my most hearty in- dorsement. “The Mission people are entitled to a | public park, to a high school and to many | other things asked for by this improve- ment club. - I will bring this matter be- fore tne directors at the next meeting, and a selling price will be fixed at which the | property will be offered.” | The same sentiments were expressed by | Mr.- Anspaclher, when spoken to, and he | also promised to bring the question before tke directors of his association at a meet- ing called for next week. Judge Van Reynegom is of the opinion that 1Es proverty can be purchased at a less figure by the: City than if offered at public auction. Constructor Lynch of the Market-street Railroad has set his gang to work on Fol- som street, and as a result the street from Nineteenth to Seventeenth is torn up and will be ready for track laying by Monday. As soon as the Ingleside extension is finished, which will be by Saturday night, the men now there will be put on to the Folsom-street work, which will be rushed to a finish. Mr. McDonald will follow immediately with his army of concrete workers and | Bob McCarty. MAYDAY AT THE BATHS, Out at the Cliff the Children Will Be Given Full Sway. ARE ELABORATELY PREPARED.

In doing so he said: The theory of counsel is that trustees can do what they please with trust property—egive the children what they like, and it concerns nobody. Itisldangerous doctrine, surely, but it is not true doctrine in equity or law.

Calvary Presbyterian Church:is'to have a new pastor for a month; beginning prob-. | ably with the second Sunday in May. The Rev. Dr.Jobn Hemphill is- going away for a'vacation and the great English divine, ‘the Rey. .Dr. William' Lincoln Birch, has offered to fill ‘the pulpit in his absence. Dr. Birch only ‘racently arrived in this State. He came here from New Zealand primarily in search of a climate that might benefit his wife’s delicate health. Dr. Hemphill says that his temporary successor- -comes more highly . recom- mended than any other man he knows of. That great English clergyman, the late Charles H. Spurgeon, wrote of himi: *‘He [Birch] has done as much in the ministry and in orphanage work as the foremost man in England, and all upon the most self-denying terms.” And John D. Con- nolly, United States Consul in New Zea- land, also wrote: ““No man has more gen- erally extended the right had of fellowship to the poor and lowly than Pastor Birch during his ministry in New Zealand.” For fifteen years he preached in the his- toric Manchester Free-trade Hall, where behad a constant congregation of 5000 per- sons, attracted by his remarkable powers as a pulpit orator. Later he went to New | Zealand as the successor of the Rev. | Thomas Spurgeon, at Auckland. ! At present the Rev. Dr. Birch is in Los | Angeles, where he is studying the fruit in- dustry with the intention of working up a fruit trade witk the Australian colonies. His idea is to have dried and canned fruits shipped directly from California instead of from England.

ORDINANCE TO BE ENFORCED. Contracts for Street Work Recom- mended by the Committee Yesterday. The ‘necessity. of a more complete in- spection of sidewalks in this City, and the more rigid enforcement .of the laws relat- ing to them hasled the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisorsto waste no time in appointing a successor to.John W. Reid, the inspector who died recently, and at vesterday’s meeting of ‘the committee George W. Elder was named for the place, subject to the approval of ‘the board at its meeting on Monday next. Numerous complaints -have been made of late regarding violations of the sidewatk ordinance. -Citizens and taxpayers have objected to the manner in which the side- walks ‘have been fenced in where new buildings were being constructed, and to the numerous ‘obstructions in the way of merchandise - and: .empty packing-cases that have been dllowed to- block up the sidewalks in - the business portion of the City. Mr. Elder has for sonie time been the pavement expert of the Street Committee, | paid by Chairman Spreckels out of hisown- pocket, and will ~probably - fill both posi- tions in the future. Some conflict with Superintendent of Streets Ashworth regarding the payment of the salary of $100 a month, fixed by the committee, is expected, as the Superin- the best of termsn, and the former has al- ways contended that the Supervisors have no right to make such an appointment, because the salary comes out of the Street Department funds, and no special provi- sion has been made for it. Should the Buperintendent refuse to sign Elder’s sal- ary demands the next tax levy will - prob- ably contain a provision for the office.
