16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1896 MERCHANTS MAKE MERRY AT NILES The Wholesale Mercantile Community Takes a Day Off. NINTH ANNUAL PICNIC. Business Men and Their Families Meet Under the Greenwood Tree. THE GAMES AND AMUSEMENTS. Thrilling Balloon Ascension With Exciting Incidents—A Spill in the Lake. The ninth annual picnic of the whole- sale merchants was held yesterday at Niles Canyon. It proved to bea most enjoyable outing, for the day was all that could be desired and the country wore its fairest Maytime garb. The various committees of arrangement had provided amusements, which were a continued round of pleasure all day long, and incidents not on the pro- gramme added zest to the mirth. Two long trains took as jolly a party to the picnic grounds as ever left San Fran- cisco on pleasure bent. They carried the officers of the picnic, friends and invited guests, as well as musicians, who made the hour’s ride pass pleasant! In all there were about 1500 people, in- cluding a large sprinkling of children. For the most part it was a reunion of fam- ily parties—the merchants and employes, with their wives and children. Repre- sentatives of the following houses, which closed for the day, participated in the fes- tivities: nde & Hough Company, the 2 ng and Trading Company B. Peterson, Willi uff Company, Hooper & Jennings, Pacific Vinegar and Pickle Work: & Co., Sherry, Avilla & Co. Mush Company, Armes & Dallam, ’ Marine Snow, P Company, | pany, Johnson-Locke Mer- L.'

Immediately upon arrival at the picnic station the crowd scatteredin little groups and paid their respects to luncheon under the liveoaks and buckeyes. Many of the younger folks, however, entered at once upon the pleasures of the waltz. Still others took to boating and the varied means of diversion placed at their dis- osal. bt About this time the voice of a ‘‘spieler” could be heard in the vicinity of a large tent. It was part of the original pro- gramme, and the voice repeated: “The show cost us $10,000; ’tis the greatest show on earth, ladies and gentlemen. For the low price of one dime, the tenth part of a dollar, ivis placed at your. disposal. Step in and see for yourselves.’’ This. accompanied by vigorous drum- ming on a tin pan, drew a crowd, and many passed inside. *“We've got O’Donnell inside; comeand see Dr. 0’Don- nell. Hi, hi; now’s your time; come in, everybody.” The fun was uproarious while it lasted, and those who had paid dimes to see the inside of a big tent—and nothing more— Jaughed over the practical joke. The “show’’ closed rather abruptly shortly after the noon hour, when a respite from merrymaking was taken for lunch and a quiet stroll in the canyon. There wasa pretentions programme billed for the tent vaudeville entertainment, but for some reason it did not take place, and nothing remained for the staff of the *“Veila"” to do EEH enjoy themselves.

So tiie gumes ended. g | In “firing” the balloon a can of gasoline | caught the flames and expvloded A boy was instantly covered with burning gaso- | line. Phil Hastings, impresario of the balloonist, leaped to the lad and with several men forced him to the ground. A | dozen coats were off in a twinkling and the blazes on the boy’s clothing were promptly extinguished.” The little fellow escaped, strange to say, without evena scorch, as his clothes had not time to catch fire. Professor Markeburg, who was throwing the gasoline into the fire, was covered with the stuff. | He leaped from the fire hole and rolled in the soft clay, where willing hands saved him with coats and shovels of sand. One | of his feet was burned and his face and hands were painfully scorched. Mlle. Essie Viola went up with the balloon. She narrowly escaped striking the funnel by twisting round in her tra- peze. This motion coiled the cut-away rope round the knife, and she could not drop. She wentaloft to a great height in the blue sky and descended upon the hill- side. Two young men, employes of Schilling & Co., took two ladies for a sail on the creek. One of the ladies was frightened in a rapid and jumped from the boat. The water was about five feet deep, but she thought it was shallow. Her companion was of the same opinion and jumped, too. The young men plunged in to save them, as did two fellows on the bank. All got safe ashore in moist condition. cht after A 81500 Blaze. | An alarm was sounded through box 532 | yesterday at4:15 P.

Dr. Kuhlmann Will Be the Principal Witness in the Case. TWO DIAGNOSES THAT DIFFER The Coroner Found Death Caused by Tubercu'osis and Not by Injury. Marie Sonderup has brought a peculiar suit against Coroner Hawkins and Dr. John T. Barrett, the autopsy pliysician of the Morgue. She wants $25,000 damages for the removal of the body of ker hus- 1 Q& TFor THE K103 Scenes in and Around Niles Canyon During Its Occupation by the Wholesalc Merchants ) | i " Ties ormks Kernzoy op | Tue Quempie Cls | Hawki; quest only when death is caused by vio- lence or under suspicious circumstances. In the case of Sonderup several reputa- ble ghyaicinns determined the cause of death and made application for a death certificate or burial permit in the usual way. This should by iaw have been granted. The body was taken from the house, and after the autopsy what re- mained of it was returned. It was an out- rage. I would not have undertaken the case had I not been convinced that 1 was absolutely sure of winning it.” Dr. Hawkins has given the case into the hands of his attorneys, ‘‘Leonard and “I only did what the law requires me to doin such cases,’’ said he. I received word from the Health Department that they had a case which needed looking into. Accordingly T had an autopsy performed. The diagnosis of Dr. Kuhblmann was that the man came to bis death, which was . caused by a wound or from injuries. He expressed 18 as *‘traumatic paralysis or something to that effect which contained the word traumatic.” This word is what prompted the Health Department to notify me. I had an autopsy performed by Dr. Barrett and he found after examination that death Wwas caused by tuberculosis, in fact the en- tire body was impregnated with baccilli. Further ‘he preserved parts of the body which are full of the baccilli. ““Consequently, since_the death was one from natural causes, it was wholly un- necessary to impane! a jury. Therefore I bad a burial permit written. I was simply doing my duty. It would certainly have appeared that I was in ‘cahoots’ with the railroad had I allowed the case to pass by witbout notice. The Health Department notified me and so i was compelled to have the autopsy performed. ““It is a preposterous charge, and would be similar to one in w hich the relatives of a murdered man or woman sued me for mutilating the remains after the autopsy was authorized to be performed by me. 1 am informed by the undertakers that Dr. Kublmann stood the expense of the fu- neral. Dr. Kuhlmann told me at the time of the man’s death that the family did not contemplate instituting a damage suit against the railroad, but desired that the man might be buried quietly without an autopsy.” A BULLET THROUGH HIS NECK. | William Barry Probably Fatally In- Jured by an Angry Chinese.

Nevertheless, I will say that Coroner Hawkins was guilty of a compound felony when he had the autopsy performed on the body and afterward made out a frand- ulent death certiticate. “The law states that when a person dies under suspicious circumstances the Coro- ner shall hold an inquest and impanel a jury. *“This case was certainly not one of sus- { picious circumstance owing to the fact | that I, a reputable physician, was present | at the death_and wrote the diagnosis of | the death. When I applied at the Health | Department for a deng certificate I did not go in any underhanded way, but simply did openly as the law demands in such cases. “I was refused a certificate and the body was taken to the Morgue, where Dr. Haw- kins caused an autopsy to be performed without impaneling a jury. He afterward made out a death certiticate. ‘“This is a Southern Pacific Railroad case, and I believe Coroner Hawkins was influenced by that corporation. “Ordinarily such a case would have gone by without so much notice, but this case was specially watched. *“Th:s is the first case of its kind that has ever been tried in California, and I assure vou it will be the mostcelebrated case that has been tried in years. ‘“We have a strong case and are sure to win. In a short time there will be g $50,000 suit begun against the railroad for killing the man. There was no doubt whatever of the man’s dying from wounds received at the time of the accident.

It will only be & matter of how large a sum the jury will allow. “‘A case of this kind is very rare.

Barry said he had worked for ei; ! ht years in the Union Iron Works and tfi en went north. He had been working in Seattle, Tacoma and other places on Puget Sound, and returned to the City on Thursday. He was stopping at the Union Hotel. He had been drinking and refused to say what led up to the shooting, but he de- clared that if he could find the Chinese who shot him he would kill him. . Lieutenant Bennett and a posse started in pursuit of the Chinese. FELL DOWN AN ELEVATOR Ben Harris, the Messenger-Boy, Dies at the Receiving Hospital. An Investigation by the Po ice Shows That It Was the Resu.t of an Accident. Ben Harris, the messenger-boy, who fell down an elevator shait in the Ottington House, 310 Stockton street, early yesterday morning, died at the Receiving Hospital a few hours later, and his body was re- moved to the Morgue. There was a rumor that the boy was the victim of foul play, and Captain Lees de- tailed Detective Cody to make an investiga- tion. He did so, and his report is as follows, which shows that the boy’s death was the result of an accident, dus to the carelessness of the employes of the Taylor Furniture Comvany : Mr. Bettis states that_he is the landlord at the Ottington House, 310 Stockton street, and that he left the house last night at 10 o’clock and did not return until 12 o’clock, when he learned that a boy had fallen down tne ele- vetor. He went downstairs and found the boy lying on the floor of one of the rooms and had him removed to the Receiving Hospital, He also stated that the Taylor Furniture Com- any occupied the top floor, where the boy fell Tom, as & wareroom, and that the janitor sleeps there and & lady by the name of Davis occuyies a room on that floor alongside of the elevator. The elevator door is on the left of Mrs. Davis’ and the janitor’s door is on the right. The three doors are only seven feet apart and there is no light on that floor in the night time. He further says that the boy must have made & mistake and taken the elevator door for the janitor's door. Finding it unlocked he opened it and walked in and fell. The doors are not sliding, they open west and close eastand the bar that goes across was up instead of being down s0 as to preveni any one from falling, for Mr. Bettis examined it after the accident and it was up. Davyis, the lady who sleeps next to the elevator, heard the boy open tne door of the elevator and neard him fall against the sides of the walls going down. Charles Babcock, who rooms in the same house and has an undertaking establishment on Geary and Stockton streets, states that the boy came to the door of the landlord and knocked three or four times. He told thé boy the landlord was not in and to go upstairs and find the janitor, which he didg, Mr. Babcock got up then and went to the twoilet-room, and while there he heard some one fall down the elevator. He went and found it was the boy. Mr. Martin, who sleeps next to Babcock, heard the boy sav he wanted to get a key, and also heard Mr. Babcock tell him to go and see the janitor. Mr. Martin and Mr. Babcock then went to- gether and worked around the elevator until they got the boy out and laid him on one of the room floors. They did not hear any other person in the house but the boy at the time he asked for the landlord. Mr. Babcock also went with the boy to the Receiving Hospital and went in & carriage and brought his parents to see him. Mr. Martin and Mr. Babcock say that it was an accident and blame the furniture company for not having the doors leading to the elevator locked. George Reed, a messenger-boy, states that he met Ben Harris last night (May 15) about 11:30 o’clock on Sutter street and Harris said : *“Wait, I am going to get a& room for a fellow and I'will divide with you.” They went to 310 Stockton street, Reed waiting outside while Harris went in to get the room. Reed got tired weiting and went home. Reed says the man Harris was to get the room for was named Louie, and Harris told Reed he always got his room for him. Mr. Curtis, who works for the furniture com- pany, was unable tosay whether he put the erossbar on or not. I viewed the premises upstairs and found it isa muzh&.flu:e. with furniture scattered ell around and no light up there. A person could easily by mistake take the elevator-door for the jamitor’s door, for they are not far apart. From my investigations, I am satisfied it was an accident, and that i1t happen2d at the Ottington House, not the Rossmore Housc. e Dropped Dead in Prison. James Kilgore, 8 Chinatown roustabout, walked into the California-street station yes- terdav morning, announced that he was drunk and desired to be locked up. His name was accordingly entered on the big book and Kilgore started on his way to cell 6. He had proceeded but a few feet when suddenly throw- ing up his hands he dropped to the floor, and before medical aid could be summoned died. For nearly twenty years Kilgore has been s frequenter of Chinatown, and incidentally is weil known to the police. How he managed to make both ends meet is Lot known, but he never appeared to be without a doliar. .. Special Election Carried.
