In response 1o & recent request from the Board of Supervisors City and County Attor- ney Cresweli has rendered his opinion as to whetler Ash avenue, between Webster and Filimore streets, is a public thoroughfare. He holds that it was never dedieated by public mups or private deeds, and the fact that the district is built upon is held 1o disprove any dedication on the part of the public. A. L. Coliins, an ex-emgloye of the Southern Pacific Company, created considerable excite- ment in the Union Trust building, wherein are the offices of the Southern Pacific Compeany, by his persistent attempt to interview H.

ELECTRIC WIRES SUFFER Three Tugs Towing Vessels Pass Meiggs Wharf Almost Together. CLEVER STEVEDORING WORK. The Steamers Colon and City of Peking Loaded at the Mail Dock in Three Days. Matters in shipping circles were quite busy vesterday. Although nearly all the | wharves are deserted there were quite a number of movements and about 2 P. M. three deep-water vessels were being towed | to sea. The brig Lurline, in tow of the | Monarch, and the bark Columbia, in tow | of the Reliance, were almost in collision when passing the seawall. The Columbia | was in ballast and the Lurline heavily | laden, so the Reliance gradually forged | ahead in the run to the heads. Thisis | the first voyage the Columbia will have made in some time. Latterly there has been nothing for her to do, so she was tied up in Mission Bay. In the old days she | ranked asa clipper and many a fast run has she made between New York and Liverpool. When started coming around the Horn she kept up her record and since she has been in the coasting trade her voyages have all been fast ones. Right behind the Reliafice and Monarch | came the Sea King with the Rufus E. | Wood in tow. She made good time, but was only off Lombard street when the others were abreast of Alcatraz. The tugs and their tows made the first lively scene that has been seen on the bay in weeks. Yesterday morning’s thunderstorm played havoc on the water front. The lightning flash injured one or two people and scared half a dozen others half to | death. Chief Whartinger Root, Sergeant | Jack Hayes of the State Harbor Police ‘and Dave Creamer were discussing the | gold find in Hurricane Gulch when the | | lightning struck. It put out the electric lights and the wires began to sputter, while the telephone bells rang a merry | tune. Hayes did not wait to find out what was the matter, and he ana Creamer nearly broke their necks in getting over the dividing rail'and through the door on to the wharf. Chief Root got caught be- tween his chair and the desk and yelled frantically to "the flying twain not to desert. When the clap of thunder came he broke away and finally reached the street. . The ramn drove them indoors again and their damages were rapaired. On Washington-street wharfi Frank Piper was using the telephone in the | branch office of the Piper-Aden-Goodall | Company when the storm broke. The | lightning struck the wire and almost | knocked Mr. Piper senseless. Captain | George Gibson of the Etta B had hold of the steel shrouds ot the schooner and was | knocked to the deck. A man known as | “Hardworking Tom” was injured on | Jackson street, and/ Amos Rohls was knocked senseless while at work on the ferry foundation. Rohls had a steel rod {in his hand and was in connection with | an iron girder when the flash came. All who were injured soon recovered from the effects of the shock and went to work again. | . Captain Sumner of the ‘Monadnock will | inspect the Naval Battalion on board the | Comanche to-day at 2 ». M. Officers from the engineer’s department of the Monad- | nock will get up steam on the aged mon- | itor and the battalion will be taught how | to work the turrefs and fire the machine guns. The drill will probably last two hours, and every member of the com- panies is expected to be in sttendance. Some very smart stevedoring work has been done on the Mail dock during the past three days, In that time the steam- ers Colon and City of Peking have both been loaded, and the former.is now on her way to Panama, while the latter sails for China this afternoon. The Colon has the largest cargo aboard she ever took out of this port, while the Peking has nearly 3000 | tons under her hatches. Of this quanticy 2200 tons is flour for Yokohama and Hong- kong. In oraer to load both vessels, the men worked night and day in two shifts ot twelve hours each. Hughey Smith of the State dredger added another to his long iist of rescues yesterday. A man named Andrew John- son fell from t':e coal chutes at Beale street into the bay, and as he could notswim came near drowning. Smith jumped in and helped hire to the dredger, where he was pulled aboard. In their eagerness to help Smith the deckhands threw over an entire coil of rope and the swimmer got tangled up in it. Finally another was turown and ke was hauled aboard. A big fleet of ships will soon be on its: way from Australia. Private advices re- ceived yesterdsy state that the strike in the New South Wales collieriesis over and that the men will return to work on Mon- day. There are 101 vessels in Newcastle, N. 8. W., alone, awaiting cargoes, and many of them are listed for San Francisco. After twenty years of continuous service Captain Henry 8.

Commis- sioners Chadbourne ana Co‘non started for Stockton yesterday to be present at a | review of National Guardsmen that is to be held by Governor Budd to-day. Another Austrian war-vessel will visit San Francisco in a few weeks. She is the training-brig Artemisia, and is coming heére !mm' China via Honolulu. The vessel only carries two guns, and 1s used solely for training sailors for the navy. She will remain_here probabiy a month, and the boys will receive considerable shore lib- arey. The Spring Valley Water Company is determined that there shall be no,;:nl on the water front. Two special policemen patrol the front every night to make sure that no one shail steal water under cover of darkness. Notice has also been served on all shipping companies to report at the new office on Mission street and make con- tracts. Goodall, Perkins & Co. are now out of the business for good. | e A Yacht Club Hop Postponed.

C. Bohry as a barber-shop and dwelling. A defective chimney caused the blaze. The building was damazed to the extent of $175. An alarm from box 152 at 3:10 o’clock yesterday morning called the de- partment out to extinguish a blaze in a iwo-story framé building at 315 Dore street owned and occupied by Mrs. H. C. Mosher as a dwelling. The cause of the fire, which damaged the building to the extent ot $500, is unknown. ARE NO LONGER ABUSED Owing to “The Call’s”” Exposure, “Drunks” Are Carried, Not Dragged, to the Lock-up. TrE CArl’s exposure of the methods used in handling *‘drunks” at the Califor- nia-street Police Station has, to a certain extent, resulted in rapid reform. Men taken into the station in an unconscious state of intoxication are no longer dragged across the floor and down the flight of stairs leading to the lock-up, but carried, as they always should have been. It is also safe to assume that in the fu- ture unconscious ‘‘drunks’” will be suffered to sleep off the effecis of their debanch and will not be subjected to kicks, hair-pulling or ear-twisting in an endeavor to procure their names in order that they may be properly registered. The jail is still in its old condition and the stinted quarters are nightly crowaed to overflowing; consequently it is 10 be hoped that in the near future the Super- visors will -ee fit to enlarce the jail and nrovide comfortable quarters enough to accommodate all who may be arrested. TR i 11135 P {1 Westerly End of the Chutes Grounds Railway _rvLuj“‘n‘hu‘u \y‘ e ol ) [y, Where the Fire Burned Out the Scenic Tunnel. the other William Havice, were tinkering 1 away in the tunnel on the west side of the enclosure, It is the 370-foot tunnel Jthrough which runs the scenic railway. The electric light-current haQ been turned off and they depended mainly upon the light from a candle to see their way clear- ly. They say the candle did not topple overand fall into the paint they were using, but the management, as well as the underwriters, believe that such anevent occurred. At all events the tunnel caught fire and for a full hour threatened to wipe up the Chutes’ costly plant. The interior of the tunnel was stretched with well-painted canvas representing scenery. Back of this were the tongue and groove poards of the outer walls, the entire structure being something in the nature of an elevated shaft with draught power calculated to accelerate any blaze. Doxey and Havice used the buckets of water stationed from place to place in the tunnel, but wivhout avail. In fact, the fire gained such rapid headway that Havice was almost caught and burned to death. As it bappened, while making lsl escape, he had to crawl on hands and knees out of the north end of the tunnel. Engines 30 and 21 were the first on the scene and, as the flames, after destroying the tunnel, began licking away at the roof of the $11,000 casino, recently com- pleted, they turned their streams on -the fire. 5 There were few people on the grounds and what might have resulted in a panic was avoided. The gates were thrown wide open and the morning crowd had ample time to make an_exit. The dlmlfia will amount to about $2000, fully covered by insurance. Sylvain Weill, president of the commit- tee having in charge the Fall of the Bas- tile celebration, was on the grounds early in the afternoon. Manager E. R. de Tam- bleof the Chutes assured him that the fire would in no way affect the coming cele- bration. “In fact,” stated Mr. de Tamble, “we will have the tunnel and everything else in perfect running condition by Sunday neit., But we nave certainly had a close call.” 7 Last week the Chutes people had a com- plete fire apparatus placed on their grounds, but no connection bad been made with the water mains. These con- nections were promptly attended to after yesterday'’s fire. DAMAGE TO SHARON ESTATE. Wednesday’s Fire Caused a Loss of $28,000—Yesterda; Fire Alarms. It will take over $28,000 to cover the loss of Wednesday’s fire at 432 Fourth street. Captain Comstock of the Fire Patrol busied himself yesterday endeavoring to ascertain the cause of the fire, but failed. The building, which is owned by the Sharon Estate Company, was damaged to the extent of $7000.

Miss Hay Says Over a Hundred Papers Have Declared Editorially for Woman Suffrage. “I thought I knew what work was, but this beats anytbing in the way of work I ever heard of.”” With this plaintive sentiment Mrs, Long, the lady organizer of the precinct clubs of the woman suffrage movement, sank down exhausted. She had just returned trom'a long tramp in the Western Addition and was literally tired out. But worn out though she was physically, she evinced no flagging in her devotion to the cause. “We are progressing splendidly,”” she went on, “and ina few daysI hope to have a lot of encouragin g news to report. ‘When our plan gets to working we will have about four hundred women in vari- ous parts of the City all laboring as one body for the realization of & common end. The whole troubie seems to be to get the thing a going. That is what I am trying to do'now, and though I havea host of earnest devoted helpers there is necessarily more or less confusion and an incredible amount of work. Still all the indications are most encouraging and the {;oodmll of the workers is truly gratify- ng.’’ it the Woman Suffrage Bureau all was in a bustle. In one corner a tired-looking lady had a great number of precinct maps before her, and with the assistance of half & dozen others was assigning certain local- ities to the respective committees in charge. Miss Hay, the chairman, was at her never-finished task of dictating an- swers to the letters with which the bureau appedrs to be perennially inundated. “The papers can help us a great deal in this work of precinct organization if they will,” she remarked. “Thus far over a hundred pers in various parts of the State have declared editorially in favor of woman suffrage, and all, ¥ith few excep- tions, have referred to our work in terms of respect. Now, i¢ our precinct meetin, can only be reported, just as the men’ meetings are, our work will be v; ad- vanced. The meetings Will soon ‘com. mence, ana we intend 1o make them in the highest degree interesting to the public.” ————————— .

The WALTERS’ $22,000 BILL To Protect Itself, the Carpet Company Tied Up What Was in Sight. HAD TO PAY A JUDGMENT. No Intention of Embarrassing the Affairs of the Furniture Concern. The Sterling Furniture Company hss been attached for $22,000 and the balance | on a $5600 judgment due to Dunne &| McPike for a client who was injured while | in the service of the firm. The attachment was levied by D. N. & E. Walter, the carpet _firm, with | whom the Sterling Company has dealt for | years. Yesterday E. 8. Heller, attorney for the firm, learned that a balance of $2800 was due on a judgment of $5600 and | would be paid. The Sterling Company owed the Walters $22.000 and as Heller | had learned that the Sterling Company was running behind rapidly, so to pre- vent the payment of the $2800 and to re- tain, as he said, the money of the strug- gling firm for the benefit of all the cred- itors instead of only one he at once sued for an attachment and had the firm's! money tied up. This afternoon the directors of the Sterling Company will'meet and consider ‘what will be done under the circumstances. R. G. Davis, presivent of the company, refused yesterday to say anything more | definite than that an attachment had been | levied. *“We do not know anythning about the case,” he said, “except that there is an attachment. What we will do I cannot say, nor can.I say just why the attachment was levied. We will meet to-morrow and consider the matter.” The Walter Company disclaims any in- tention of injuring the Sterling Company. One of the members of the firm said yes- terday that the levying of the attachment was only to protect such debts as were owing. “We do not desire to embarrass the Sterling Company in any way,” said one of the Walters yesterday. ‘‘We have carried them on our books for a long time and we would carry them longer only we feared that, what with this paying of judgments and the accumulation of debts, we would bhave a big loss on our hands unless we protected ourselves. It was for this reason we sued for the attachment.” The primary idea in levying the attach- ment at this time was to prevent the pay- ment of the balance due on the judgment received by Dunne & McPike. This money is now effectualy tied up and the affairs of the Sterling Company are in abeyance. They are said to owe about $100,000. Severe Censure and Desorved Rebuke. Honest Democrats will find much pleas- ure in perusing a criticism upon the Chi- cago convention, written by an able poli- tician, 1n this week’s News Letter. The article is entitled “The Democracy Gone Crazy,” and severely censures the silver men of the s:rty for their subserviency to the anarchistic element of society. " In another article the Examiner is taken to task for its cowardly silence on matters of National interest and for its open methods of deserting the Democratic party in its hour of need. Both articles will more than repay perusal. Crippled for Life. ‘Wiltiam Henneberg, & laborer, living at 2025 BSeventeenth street, was crippled for life yes- terday by a locomotiye on Seventh and Town- send streets. He was crossing the railroad track at that point and ste] from the track to let a locomotive pass. He did not observe another engine approaching from another di- rection until too iate. Henneberg was knocked down and his left foot fell across the track. The engine passed over the lower partof the foot, crushing the toes to s &nlp. The injured man was treated at the Receiving Hospital by Drs. Fitzgibbon and Helms. Ferry Depot Material, The Harbor Commissioners were acting ina strictly legal manner when they substituted Colusa sandstone for Orsgon graystone in the contracts for the construction of the ferry depot AN EDITOR AND A CLERK INDICTED, Newspaper Man for Libel, the Clerk for Em- bezzlement. A SERVIAN JOURNALIST. B. M. Gopcheivich Libeled Spiro Radulovich Last April. H LEVI & C0’S COLLECTOR Accused of Embezzling Two Thou- sand Dollars of the Firm's Money. The Grand Jury heard someexpert testi- mony yesterday concerning the cost of conducting the County OClerk’s office. There seems to be a strong impression in the jury that the present management of that department of the municipal govern- ment is extravagant and that the work necessary can be done by a smaller num- her of clerks than the payroll now carries. The_experts examined were ex-Couniy Clerks J. J. Flynn and M. C. Haley and Major J. D. Ruggles and B. M, Gunn, who were formerly employed in the County Clerk’s office. Major Ruggles went into the County Clerx’s office in 1866, and served there twenty-five years. His ser- vice was continuous until Mr, Curry was elected, excepting the four years during which Colonel Stuart Taylor had the place of Naval Officer, when Mr. Ruggles was his chief deputy. The jury asked the wit- nesses many questions, and the result of the inquiry wiil be presentea in the final Teport to be made this month. The Grand Jury went into Judge Slack’s court and presented the indictments. H. Butzner was indicted for embezzlement and B. M. Gopcheivich for libel. According to the testimony of Jacob LeviJr. and Louis R. Levy, H. Bawzner was the clerk, agent and servant of Her- man_Levi, Jacob Levi Sr. and Jacob Lew1 Jr. of the firm of H. Levi & Co., and did embezzie from his employers the sum of $2000 on March8 last. 1t seems that Batz- ner was a collector and held out collections for his own use. & B. M. Gopcheivich, against whom the indictment for libelis found, is the editor and publisher of “Srbin - Amerikance,” which translated into English is *‘Servian- American.” The com‘rlaining witness, the man who was libeied, is Spiro Radulovich, a very respeciable citizen who resides at the cor- ner of Bush and Polk streets, Judgin, from the indictment, to which is attache several columns of reading cut from tne Servian-Amearican, Mr. Radulovich is not the kind of a‘man who can be dismissed with a single paragraph. The libelous matter appears to be in the form of a nar- rative or serial story under this heading: “A Conspiracy Against B. G. (meaning B. Gopel eivich)—iiiztoric Fact in San Francisco—True Occurrence.” This pub- lished arricie or‘narrative seems to accuse Spiro Radulovich of joining a conspiracy to assassinate the ediior. Moreover, itis assertea in the article that Mr. Radulo- vich, while residing in Weaverville, Trin- ity County, lapsed from integrity and em- bezzled money from his employers. There was enough in_this article pub- lished last April in the Servian-American to create a great commotion in the Ser- vian colony. No one clearly understands now why the case was not taken to the courts, and why the subpenas were not issued through the regular channels, About a month ago Eugene Deuprey, counsel for Spiro Radulovich, unexpect- edly entered the jury ante-room with an army of Servian witnesses, and since then the Grand Jury has struggled with the case. The case will now go to the courts. When the indictments were presented District Attorney Barnes told the court that no necessity existed for placing the documents on the secret file. The usual motion was made for the issue of bench warrants. Last Thursday Theodore F. Payne, Al- pheus Bull Jr. and C. L. Haskell of the Grand Jury, accompanied by Director Henderson and Inspector Kincaid of the School Department, visited a number of public school buildings. The houses in- spected were the Lincoln, Marshall, Rin- con, Longiellow, Starr King, Columbia, Buena Vista and the new Dudley C. Stone school building on Haight street. ARGUMEN S CUMPLETED. The Becker-Creegan Case Will Go to the Jury To-Day. Assistant District Attorney Black closed the arguments in the Becker-Creegan case yesterday. He reviewed zll the evidence aud made out a very strong case against the defendants. Mr. Black laid especial stress upon the proven fact of the presence of Creegan and Becker in California in December last; upon the New York Herald personals and letters signed “Howe,” mailed in New York City. He claimed that “Howe' and Creegan are one and the same person. The discovery of forger’s materials in the possession of Becker and of new $20 pieces minted in San Francisco in 1895 in -the possession of both Becker and Creegan ‘was also brought out strongly.

James Anderson, a Market-street second- hand dealer, was arrested vesterday even- ing by Speciel Officer Holbrook of the Sc- ciety ror the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and charged with battery. An- derson has a daughter of 12 years, named Kate, who, he alleges, has "been in the habit of visiting bis'store and abstracting small articles therefrom. Yesterday the little girl repeated her peculations, and her father beat her with a shawlstrap, having a buckle at one end. The buckle wounded the child’s scalp, face and nose, and Dr. Jerome Anderson was summoned to attend to her injuries, which, though painiul, were not serious.
