16 NEARLY A RIOT - ON MARKET STREET Manager Vining's Men Try to Eject a Pas- senger. ANGRY CROWDS GATHER Fred Wagner, Contractor, Forgot to Exchange a Check for a Transfer. FOUR POLICEMEN INTERFERE. The Crowd Threatens to Mob Officers for Arresting Wagner for Battery Upon the Conductor. The weather was a little bit too warm for real sport yesterday afternoon on Vining’s cable and trolley cars. “De blokes won’t stan' to der rights when dey gives a check by mistake,” spoke up a besmeared-faced urchin last evening at Powell and Eddy streets. He had been running thither and to all day selling his papers. He was tired, dirty and angry. “If dey would be onter demselves dey’d just shove de check and hold on to der car. “Der isn’t a bell-puncher on de line could put me off der old car if I was onto what he was doing.” It was little Eddie Greaney who was talking. He was in earnest and he felt strong in the position he was taking. TeE CA LL reporter’s demeanor must bave struck him as one of incredality, for he shoved his left hand into his mouth and therefrom came a shrill whistle as from a punctured boiler. He followed this up with the cry of: “Mickey! Mickey Johnson! Come here quick. “Didn’t yer see me sm ash dat conductor over de head yesterday when he was a 4ryin’ to put de bloke off der car at Ellis street?” Mickey, who had hastened to Eddie’s cali among a score of other urchins, nod- ded a head full of freckles in acquiescence, adding: “Me and Brick [for Eddie is red- headed and they call him ‘Brick’] saw de ‘bell punch’ try to do one of our customers out of his fare on Ellis street, going nort’. Well, we dian’t do a ting to him. While dey was a-scuffling, tryin’ to pull him off, me and Brick climbed uponde dashboard, and we smashed old ‘bell punch’ over de hed till he let go. “Der was a lot of friends of ours around and dey stood in fine. But you'd just ought ’er seen that ‘bell punch’ when we got tro’.”” From the chorus that followed it was quite evident every lad on the street had seen the melee between the recalcitrant passenger, the “bell punch”—who, no doubt, is meant as the conductor of the car—and the mob of newsboys “Der was another fight dis mornin’ at 9 o’clock,” Eddie continued, ‘““but I wasn't dere. Some small guy—a geeser way up i der 400. One of der boys give ’im a check and der agent was on, see? His geesers went ter get der transfer for der check ana he getsder t'so’ down. “But he was game. He gets on der car anyhow, saying he could ’gitimately ride on der check. But he weakened whendey stop der car an’ he give up his finif, so as not to be trowed off. Dat’s too bad; it’s hurtin’ our business. If we'd been dere we’d a pulled 'em trou’ all right.” ““Brick’s” apparent regret that he or his friends were not present on one occasjon must bave disappeared later in the even- ing when a mob of several hundred people gave vent to their indignation at the treat- ment accorded a passenger on a Castro- street car because he had omitted to geta transfer from Manager Vining’s represen- tative on the corner of Powell and Market streets. The crowd was seemingly ripe for mis- chief, and even anxious for it. Its number continued to be augmented, and each passing car was greeted with hoots and yells of ‘‘Stay on!” “Don’t let them put you offI”” “We're with you!" So dense did the seekers after excite- ment become that a passage-way had to be cleared for each passing car and vehicle by the policemen. Soon the police force was augmented, and then the work of clearing the street began and was quickly completed, for none of the assemblage appeared anxious fo come in contact with the batons which the police had drawn. The excitement was all over shortly before 11 o’clock. The passengzer was Fred Wagner, con- —_— a dose in time has saved thousands of people from thousands of “‘sick-spells.” This preparation is no secret. It is to-day what it was 75 years ago—the best preparation of gin- ger it is possible for man to make. Itis made by the FRED BROWN CO., Philadelphia, ¢ for it at your druggists. Rememboer fif'kmu-Aw%-znmm-m THE Charles Redicker, Whe, Allhong’h in Funds, Committed Suicide Last Night by Shooting Himself Before a Mirror. tractor, 4579 Eighteenth street, who is a brother-in-law of Superior Judge Bahrs and a young man of strong physigue. He boarded a Powell-street car at Union street after sundown. He pulled a news- paper out of his pocket and became ab- sorbed in some story. Before reaching Powell and Market streets he got the usual check from the conductor, and as he stepped from the car he saw a Castro-street car on Market street, going in thedirection of his home. Without thinking of getting the check exchanged for a transfer by the official on the curbstone he made a dash for the | Castro-street car and caught it. He sat | down in the car and resumed the reading of his newspaper. i As the car moved along toward Sixth | street Conductor W. H, Brewster asked | for his transfer. Without looking up from his paper Wagner handed him the check. Brewster walked through the car and re- turned with the gripman, who had stopped the car at Brewster’s request. “Look here,” said Brewster to Wagner, “‘this check is no good. Yon will have to | get off the car or pay your fare.” “That is the only transfer I got from the | Powell-street conductor.” “Well, I tell you it's no good,” repeated | Brewster. You should have changed it for a transfer.” Wagner asked good-hum oredly if they would wait until he ran back and ex- changed the check for a transfer, when Brewster and the gripman grabbed hold of | him by the collar and pulled him off his | seat. Wagner braced himself, but they | gradually forced him out to the rear plat- form, which was crowded. Those on the platform, indignant at the treatment to which Wagner was being subjected, shoved him back into the car. By this time there was a long line of waiting cars, extending nearly to Fourth street, and a big crowd of people had gath- ered round the Castro-street car. They hooted the conductor and gripman. “Throw them off the car,” they shouted to | the other passengers, “Smash them in the | face” and other epithets. At this juncture four policemen jumped on the rear platform, drew their clubs, and pushed the passengers off. The crowd on the street pushed the passengers back again, and the anger of the mob was transferred to the limbs of the law, who were in turn hooted and hissed at. Police- man H. 0’Day attempted to pull out his handcuffs and put them on Wagner, but the crowd pressed against him, and he was unable to get them out of his pocket. The crowd angrily protested against the interference of the police, and for a minute or two a riot was imminent, as threats of mobbing the policemen were heard. All the officers, except O'Day, stopped inter- fering with the crowd on the platform, but O’'Day persisted in showing his au- thority. Finally an official of the road got on the car, and Conductor Brewster told him that ‘Wagner had struck him in the face. A dozen of the passengers shouted that it was not true, Wagner had not raised his hand except to push back the gripman, who was choking him from behind. The official ordered Brewster 1o have Wagner arrested for battery. The crowd protested loudly against Wagner's arrest, but Wag- ncr put an end to the trouble by consent- ing to go to the City Prison. The car proceeded along as far as Lar- kin street, when Wagner stepped off and was taken to the prison by Policemen 0O’Day and H. Riley and booked for bat- tery. Most of the crowd had followed the car, and marched atongside of the two policemen and their prisoner as far as the prison. Justice of the Peace Groezinger, who is a personal friend of Wagner, happened to be in his chambers, and when he heard of the arrest he personally hunted up Judge Campbell and got an order for Wagner’s release on his own recognizance. Wagner was quickly set free and went home. About 9 o’clock three young men were brought to the Central police station by | Policeman Ed O’Dea, who was accom- panied by an employe of the Market-street Cable Company. Sergeant Nash asked O’vea if he had any charge to bring | against the three young men, and O'Dea replied that he had not, but that the em- ploye of the road had asked him to arrest them. The employe said he had no charge to make against them either and the ser- geant told them to go home. They were put to the indignity of being arrested and marched through the streets without any apparent cause. Between 10 and 11 o’clock alady and gentleman boarded a McAllisler-street car at Powell and Market. They had forgot- ten to get their transfersand the conductor threatened to put them oft the car. A mob of several hundred gathered around the car and threatened the conductor and eripman with violence if they persisted. The gripman started the car and the mob ran alongside all the way to McAllister and Larkin streets, where the lady and gentleman aiighted. The crowd gave them three lusty cheers and went back to Market street. Another Boon for Eureka. Word was received at the Traffic Association office yesterday that ail the roads interested had agreed upon a rate for lumber in carload lots trom Eureka to Missour: River, Mississippi River and Chicago and common points of 60 cents per 100 pounds, the same rate that is in effect from Puget Sound points.” This rate will also apply to car) of lumber and shingles. | act. DIED BUT MADE NO SIGH, Charles Redecker, a Well- to-Do German, Shoots Himself. He Had Been Out of Employment for Many Months, but Still Had Money. Charles Redecker, a young German, shot himself to death in his rooms, at 632 Post street, yesterday evening about 5 o’clock. The reason is not ciear, as he left no word. He was apparently in no financial trouble, as he is said to have considerable money. He has, however, been out of em- ployment for months and was somewhat despondent, partly occasioned by ill health. Yesterday morning he left his lodgings as usual about 9 o’clock. He returned shortly before 5 o’clock, went to his room, lit a ciger, and took up a book to read. Half an hour later he threw his book away,dropped his partly burned cigar and, stepping before his mirror, drew a re- volver from his pocket, aimed at his temple, and fired. It missed. The mirror probably caused him to aim badly. the ball passed through his temples and threw blood and brains upon the wall of the room. The landlady of the house was entertain- ing some friends in her room on the flobr below. She remarked about the pistol and went out into the hall. Just then the second shot was fired, and she ran up- stairs followed by ner guests, a gentleman and lady. She listened at Redecker’s door and heard the water running in his basin. She suid it could not be there, and was about to go to the next floor when the young man with her noticed the smell of powder and the smoke coming over the transom of Redecker's room. The landlady gave bhim the keys and he opened the door. Then he turned and told her not to enter. She surmised what had happened and ran for a doctor. The Receiving Hospital was notified and Redecker was taken there, where he died shortly after 7 o’clock. Redecker left no word explaining his Among his effects taken by the Coroner subsequently there was nothing that threw any light upon the matter, The deceased was formerly in the em- vloy of the Californis Wine Association, but was summarily discharged—according to a letter found among his papers—Sep- tember 24, 1894. He was afterward em- loyed by Tillmann & Bendel and by Kohler & Frohling. Out of employment here he went to Central America, and three months ago he returned. He has not found employment, but did not seem to worry about that fact. Onlya few days ago he remarked to a friend that he had money enough to live without work for several years. His landlady “f! he always paid his obligations promptly. Some $15 was found on his person. 3 He has a brother, Rudolph, who is cashier for ¥. Hillens & Co., commission mer- chants. Among the papers of the deceased was one dated August 26, 1805, in which he transferred to his brother, to hold in trust, the following: Fifteen shares of Marketstraet Railway stock; deed to lot in Oskland, half my prop- erty; deed to lots 14 to 18, New Chicago; note of George R. Chard, $50; New York life in- surance policy; and a general power of attorney. 2 * Nearly all his other papers were written in German. The brother Rudolph had not heard of the suicide at a late hour last night, CUT A RIVAL'S NOSE. Dan McNeill Arrested for » Murder- ous Assault Upon Frank Ravkin. Frank Rankin, 414 Eddy street, a son of the late ex-Supervisor, is a favored suitor for the hand of pretty Minnie O’Grady, daughter of Mrs. O’Grady, who owns a grocery and saloon at Natoma and Mary streets. He yisited her on Saturday night, and between 12 ana 1 o'clock Sun- day morning Dan McNeill, a tall, strap- ping young fellow, who was a less favored suitor for Minnie’s hand,” made his ap- pearance. McNeitl nad peen drinking, and when he saw Rankin and Minnie together he got mad and soon picked a quarrel. He was backed up by Mrs. O'Grady, and Rankin found himself in a tight place. After an interchange of uncomplimentary remarks McNeill pulled a razor out of his pocket and slashed Rankin across the cheek, following it up with another slash that cut off the end of his nose. Then Mc- Neill beat a retreat. Rankin was taken to the Receiving Hospital and had tbe point of his nose stitched and dressed. He did not care to talk upon the subject of his wounds, but the police determined to find out all about it. McNeill kept out of the way, but last night he wasarrested by Policeqpen Rourke and Burke and locked up in the tanks in the City Prison. e — Concert at Mills College. ‘Tho closing conceri of the Mills College con- servatory of music will take place at the col- lege to-day.

The California Delegation Will Go in a Style Superb. ARRANGEMENTS MADE. A Luxurious Special Train Will Speed Along With Flags and Banners. BANQUET BEFORE THE START. The Tippecanoe Club of Ohio Will Whoop a Welcome and Act as Escort. It is now “On to St. Louis” with the Republican leaders. Between now and June 17 the National Convention will absorb the political in- terest of the party in this State. Its pros- pects and the preparations for it will be watched with close attention, and little connected with local and State Republican affairs will develop until the convention meets and then lets the campaign break like a storm. > Those who expect to go to the conven- tion are particularly interested as well in the arrangemenes for the trip, which are actively under way by the direction of Dan T. Cole, John D. Spreckels and O. A. Hale, tbe committee having them in charge, and Allen B. Lemmon of Santa Rosa, secretary of the delegation. The California delegation and a crowd of friends will rush to St. Louis in superb style. The special, train that will start from the Oakland mole on June 11 will be the most luxurious and magnificent one that ever bore eastward a party of Cali- fornia representatives. It will be made up of cars belonging to the Sunset Limited service, new, richly furnished and decor- ated and provided with all that present dav ingenuity has devised to increase the luxury of modern railway travel. The special train will be made up of the necessary baggage cars, a combination car containing barber shop. lounging room. library, etec., & dining car well stocked and four or five sleepers, all as fine as the finest which car builders have made. The train will proclaim its identity in striking but tasteful decorations. On each side of the first car will stretch a banner of canvas four feet wide and sixty-three feet long. In the centera gonnit ot McKinley will appear surrounded with decorative | designs, and those who see the train will read: *California delegation to the Re- publican Convention, St. Louis, 1896.”” Along the full length of that side of the second car will stretch a similar banner bearing *‘Protection to American Indus- tries!”” with at one end a bear and at the other a picture of the Golden Gate with symbolic figures in the foreground. Amer- icau flags on the engine and two on the front of each car will further deck the train with peculiar appropriateness. The delegation will have made an ex- ceptionally rich banner to be carried in the streets and displayed at the head- quarters. Over $200 worth of rich silk, gold and skilled labor wili go into the making of it. All the delegates are exgecud to gather in San Francisco on the 10th and en that evening they will be banqueted by the Union League Club. The tramn will depart at 10 A. M. of Thursday, the 11th of June, and proceed to St. Louis by special and fast time over the Central Pacific, Rio Grande Western, Denver and Rio Grande and* the Burling- ton routes. The itinerary shows that Ogden wil! be reached at 4 p. a., June 12, Denver at 11:30 ». M., June 13, and 8t. Louis at 9:30 A. M., Monday, June 15. At the depot the delegates will be met by the Tippecanoe Club of Ohio with pomp, music and joy, and then will the California delegation dive into the gayety, excitement, band-playing and serious thinking of the Republican National Con- vention. Headquarters at the Southern will soon be reached. The California headquarters will be one of the prominent and valuable ones, the music-room of fhe Southern, forty by seventy-five feet in size, having been engaged. Many of the Californians have already engaged quarters at the Southern and others at the Lindell. The delegation is not going with any cheap hurrah and will not dispense Cali- fornia wines with the indiscrimination that has been seen. There will not be California wine and fruit for alt the mob that can crowd into the headquarters. No carloads of these refreshmenis will be taken along, but there will bea supply sufficient to” enable the delegates to show a pleasing measure of California hospital- ity to such friends and acquaintances as they may choose to invite as guests. The fare for the round trip is $67 50 and tickets will be good for thirty days. The Californians will retnrn by regular trains at their convenience. Berths on the special train will be $15 for the trip to St. Lous. Those having the’arrangements in hand are especially nrgent that delegates, alter- nates and their friends who propose to go communicate at once with Secretary Allen B. Lemmon at Santa Rosa that quarters on the train and, if desired, quarters in St. Louis may be reserved, and that it may be known at once how many and who will make up the party on the special train. It appears now that all of the eighteen delegates wili go together with many alter- nates and other prominent Republicans and their friends. PRESS CLUB JINKS.
