The jury last week received informa- | tion: that the persons composing tne crowd that assaulted the old man and | kicked him to death; organized for the | purpose.of assaulting the men who would not quit work. It was prearranged to first assault the men on Post street and then proceed to Fourth street. The manner in | which Maars was kicked and beaten by | the gang was described by the sons of the victim. The members of the Grand Jury filed | into Judge Slack’s courtroom shortly be- fore 5 o’clock and presented twelve indict- ments for murder in this -case. The court | ordered the indictments placed on the se- ‘ cret file, and bench warrants to issue for | the arrest of the personsindicted. | - The mean indicted are those who were ar- | rested at the titme the asszult'was com- mitted, and subsequently discharged in | the Police Court.

The Grand Jury continues to hold weekly | sessions and occasionally varies the routine | by meeting In special council. At present | no hint is given of early adjournment, but on the contrary thesuggestions are thrown | out that the ‘work in contemplation can- | not be completed before July 1. | Yesterday Horace Dunn, the expert of the jury, submitted an elaborate report. | For the past three weeks the expert has been diligently engaged in examination of | Police Court books, minutes and receipts. | Information was imparted to certain | members of the jury that croaked trans- |.actions in the matter of fines were quite common at the City Hall. Talk of this | kind induced the jury a month ago to order a thorough examination of the sub- | ject. It was reported that the crooked- | ness consisted of entering on the record a | smaller fine than was actually imposed, | and holding out the difference in the | amount collected and the amount entered ‘ for collection. To what extent this prac- | tice was observed the jury was not.ad- | vised. It has not transpired, either, | 'whether the expert found proof of crook- edness or only examples of irregularity | and carelessness. It is certain that the | Grand Jury has the record of all the fines imposed within a certain period of time, and has also a record of all the money | paid into the treasury by the Police Court | clerks during this same period. The ag- | gregate of cash turned in does not come up to the aggrezate of fines imposed. |, The expertiiis said has had a difficult | task indeed, To keep track of fines re- mitted, fines imposed and marked “no al- ternative,” which really means no cash in the possession of the person fined, con- | stituted no easy task. Again where bail | money is deposited in - the treasury and drawn out again on the settlement of the case some confusion prevails., It is quite ataxon the intelligence of a Police Court | clerk to deposit $50 in the treasury as_bail | and then when the case comes ‘upand a ! fine of $10, for example, is imposed to give | an order for the remaining $403nd account | also for the $10, !'v)rfcilul‘esoulrighlmusl | also be accounted for, Louis Jacobs, the chief deputy in the | Treasurer’s office, inclines to zfie belief that the collectionsare accounted for, The | law requires bail money to be deposited every day, but it isa question whether the law contemplates a daily deposit of fines. Yet this rule is generally, but not invaria- bly, followed. Where “the Police Court clerks get their accounts confused is in a failure to keep track of fines taken from bail deposits. Mr, Jacobs says that Mr. Williams, the-exper: of the Board of Su- pervisors, keeps a pretty close supervision of the fines collected and paid in and is, therefore, of the opinion_that the Grand -| Jury has not discovered much crooked- ness.

V. Mohun Down With Smallpox. Vessel Was Given a Clean Bill of Health. After a Delay of Nine Days He Recovered, and the HAD SMALLPOX ABOARD, Predicament in Which Uncle Sam’s Gunboat Petrel Was Placed. QUARANTINED AT NAGASAKL Paymaster P. V. Mohun Was Down With the Dread Disease, but He Recovered. The United States gunboat Petrel—the smallest vessel in the American navy— arrived in port from the China station yes- terday. She anchored off Sausalito, and early next week will go to Mare Island for repairs. During her sojourn in the Orient she has done splendid work for Uncle Sam, and her trips up the Yang-tse-Kiang in order lo protect American missionaries have been many and frequent. When it came to a question of bringing & mandarin to terms the little boat was he ‘‘right on top,” as her crew puts it. is armed with four 6-inch breech-loaders | and two 3-pounders. Besides this she has | two Hotchkiss, two Gatlings and several | pneumatic tubes. The officers of the Petrel are Lieutenant- Commander W. H. Emory; Lieutenat N. Bargent, executive officer; Lieutenant O. E. Lasher, navigating officer; Lieutenant T. D. Griffin; Ensign H. H. Caldwell; En- sign J. A. Sypher; R. 8. Denig, passed as- sistant engineer; P. H. Bryant, passed as- sistant surgeon, and P. V. Mohun, assist- ant paymaster. The gunboat Concord left Yokabama 48 hours after the Petrel, and was beaten into Honolulu 15 hours. She was to leave the capital of the republic 24 hours after time to-night. This showing by the Petrel is a surprise to the navy officers, as the slowest vessels in the navy. At Nagasaki she was overhauled by the Japanese engi- neers, however, and in consequence she has averaged 8)4 knots an hour ever since. “When we left Shanghai last month everything was quiet,” said one of the Petrel’sofficexs yesterday. ‘“When we were a few days out Paymaster Mohun was taken down with the smallpox, and there was a great soare on board. Dr. Bryant isolated him. and we made all steam for the Japanese coast. On arriving at Naga- saki he was on the road to recovery, and after a delay of nine days we were given a clean bill of health. We have had no sickness since then, and of course had no need to report to the health authorities here. “At Yokohama Captain Emory came to the conclusion that we would not be able to reach Honolulu with our normal coal supply. In consequence all our amuni- tion was put ashore and our magazines were filled with biack diamonds. The overhauling the Japs gave our machinery di¢ us good, however, as we Lad still eighty tons of coal on board when we reached Honolulu. The Petrel is a good gunboat, but a mighty poor sea boat.

I know it is a splendid show- ing for the Petrel, as during the training drills on the China station sbe could never do better than six knots an hour.” The Petral will remain at Sausalito un- 1il Monday next and she will then go to Mare Island and go out of commission, —e A PACIFIC HEIGHTS BED. Over 8900 Ralsed for Its Endowment in the Chlldren’s Hospital. The first of 8 series of three entertain- ments, the purpose of which is to'endow a s Pacific Heights' bed at the Children’s | Hospital, was given at the Pacific Heights’ school Thursday afternoon. The idea is that of the principal, Miss Alice M. Stin- gon, who acted as general overseer. This particular entertainment was given by the primary classes, and the crowd was so0 large that the services of two lice officers were brought. into requisition to keep the crowd within proper restric- tion. inent among the features werea c,fiac;’r?. lemonade and a chocolate bootn, presided over by the various teachers, as- sisted by the larger girls. Besides, there were grabbaes, raffles, music and recita- tions. Nothing was permitted to sell for more than a dime, which was a clear profit as the parents of the pupils con- tributed everything. " The speciai_feature of the programme was a Miss Blanche Kelleher, who took the part of a nuri in a living picture, and | “The Better Land.” s:mn;l“ rge local firms helped to swell the fund by paying the children- well to represent them. in the living victures. The intention is to raise at least §1500, and this one entertainment netted something over $900. The other two will be held on May 15 and May 50 respectively. : —————— SHE WANTED TO DIE. Rose Flemming, Arrested for Dranken- ness, Tried to Strangle Herself. Mrs. Rose Flemming, who was arrested and taken to the Folsom-street station for drunkenness vesterday afternoon, tried to end her life by tying a handkerchief around her neck.

Entire Rolling-Stock of the Car Lines Called Into Requisition to Accom- modate Travel. Notwithstanding the uninviting appear- ancs of the day for a California Mayday, the children, with their escorts, turned out en masse to enjoy the annual festivities at Sutro’s baths, which had been especially prepared for the occasion. The entire rolling-stock of the Sutro and Sutter-street car lines bad been run out to accommodate the general public which rode over the lines. 1n addition to the service on these lines, the steamcars of the Market-street branches | put on their Sunday and holiday reserve rolling-stock to catch as much of the travel as possible. But it made no difference which lines of streetcars were used. All were bent for the attractive point at the Cliff. Up to 3 o’clock 29,650 persons passed through the revolving gates leading into the baths. The scene on the inside from any point of view was one seldom seen outside of a great metropolis. plified from the topmost seat on the gal- lery to the water’s edge. At 12 o'clock the May Queen was crowned amidst an admiring throng of her infantile subjects, and immediately after being so crownea the gallant and | handsome Colonel Thomas P. Robinson on behall of his superior, the owner of the baths and an eighth of the area of the City and County of San Francisco, pre- sented her young Majesty with a mam- month bouqguet, the gift of Mayor ‘Sutro, who was present and extended the liber- ties of the grounds to her Majesty. All the juvenile amusements, from danc- ing to romping through the building, were enjoyed by the youngones to their hearts’ content, and none enjoyed the “I hdve,” said he, “spent_some happy and pleasant days in my life, but posi- tively this on2 gives me more real pleasure than any one I can recall. To see the inno- cent little children and their parents made so happy is indeed a joy and a pleasure to me and the members of my family, who navaluken such pains to make it pieasant for all.” The warmth of the building in the bath inclosure made it a very pleasant contrast for those assembled in comparason to the somewhat raw ocean breeze felt on the outside. ey gt THE CONSUL IMPROVING. Mrs. Booth-Tucker Will Be Able to Meet Her Engagements. The condition of Consul Emma Booth- Tucker has so greatly improved that her presence at the meetings at Metropolitan Temple next Wednesday afternoon and ! evening is an assured thing. The chunces are that she will also conduct a meeting Tuesday. Her husband, Commander Booth-Tucker, is now flying across the country on his way to this City. He will also be present at the Wednesday meeting. He'is expscted to arrive here Wednesday\morning. Mrs. Booth - Tucker will undoubtealy meet her engagements now in Portland, Seattle, Topeka and Kansas City. “The resnlts of these meetings,” said Social Secretary McFes last night, “can hardly be estimated.

Stocking appeared before Judge Low yesterday on a charge of per- jury. He wenton the bond of a woman named Watson, who was charged with petty larceny, and swore that he owned certain property which his father is known to own. 2 The case was continued until next Tues- day. The young man’s father has had considerable trouble with him, and he says that if the boy has committed perjury he will let him go to prison. 0 Happy by Over| It was fairyland exem- | GUILTY OF RATE-CUTTING Agents of the Southern Pacific and. Northern Pacific Convicted. FEAR SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS nental Rates One of the Future Possibilities. There was a long and -heated session of the San Francisco and Oakland Pas senger | Agents’ Association in the Mills building | yesterday afternoon to hear and decide | upon the charges of rate-cutting brought | against the ticket agents of the Southern | Pacific and Northern Pacificroads. In each case the guilt of the accused was established, Abner Man, the Southern | Pacific representative, pleading guilty, | and T. K. Stateler, the Northern Pacific agent, being convicted on a vote of 8 to 6, every man present voting. More than ordinary interest attaches to | these cases, particularly in view of the | fact that T. K. Stateler has given notice of appeal and of the peculiar stand taken by the local Santa Fe passenger agent. If the attitude of these gentlemen remains unchanged it is likely that the pressnt | rate wer between the Southern Pacific | Company and the Oregon Railway and Navigation. Company for business between San Francisco and Portland will develop into one of broader scope, involving all | the lines in the Transcontinental Pas- senger Association—those operating west of the Missouri River, some twenty-three in number, In both cases mentioned tickets were | sold to St. Paul via Portland for $45, or $2 90 | below the rate quoted in the California | sheet, which controls the price of tickets | sold in this City. The offending agents | took advantage of the local war rate of $5 between here and Portland and sold the unknown emissary of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company a ticket from Portland to St. Paul for $40 ana then pro- vided him with a $5 ticket from here to Portland, the Southern Pacific using a | ticket over its Portland special train and | the Northern Pacific providing gnsssge by | the steamer of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. When the charge against Allen H. Ab- bott of the Southern Pacific Company, who sold the cut-rate ticket, came up for hearing General Ticket Agent Mann pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and bad to redeem the ticket at its full regular rate, thus being out an additional $2 90. The charge against Stateler, after a hard battle, in which nearly every passenger agent participated, was sustained by a vote of 8 to 6. He promptly gave notice of ap- peal. He claims he simply sold the ticket from Portland to St. Paul and that the in- | tending passenger then procured inde- vendently his transportation to Portland. This, Lowever, it isstated by some of those who_attended the meeting, was not con- clusiveiy shown by the evidence. It was clearly proved, it is claimed, that the through rate of §45 was quoted. Both eases were the result of the clever scheming of F. F. Connor, the local agent of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, who' suspected fora long time that the rate war to Portland was being used by both the roads named to secure transcontinental business, in the face of a special stipulation between Mr. Hurlburt ogethe Oregon’ Railway and Navigation Company and Mr. Goodman of the South- ern Knciflc Company, that it was not to be taken advantage of in_this way by either of their companies. This agreement was 10ade for the express purpose of averting transcontinental rate troubles. On the part of the Southern Pacific Com- any-it 1s claimed that Mr. Abbott sold be ticket without authority, and he has been suspended pending -an ‘investigation of the case. Mr. Stateler's appeal must go forward to Chairman Caldwell of the Transconti- nental Passenger Association at Chicago, . NEW TO-DAY.

Meanwhile the possibilities thus opened up of diverting traffic to Eastern points by way of the rorthern roads has caused 5““ restlessness among the other lines. 'he representative of the Santa Fe went so far as to declare his intention of endeavor- ing to induce his people to demand that the roads routing by way of the Missouri River gateway be allowed to make a rate that will put them on a competitive equal- ity with those which can advantageously use the Portiand gateway, and this action, if carried out, may lead to a general and serious disturbance of transcontineutal passenger rates. This question will no doubt be taken up by the Transcontinental Passenger Asso- ciation, which is to meet in this City on May 13. 3 E It L s Them All.
