THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1896. THCONNS PRINCE NOW 4 TRAWP Ex-City Treasurer Boggs Arrives at Spokane Penniless. OFFERED MENIAL WORK Presides Behind a Free-Lunch Counter Until His Identity Is Learnsd. STARED AT BY THE CURIOUS. Downfall of a Man Who Stole One Hundred Thousand Dollars From the Northern City. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 12.—FEx-Treas- urer George W. Boggs of Tacoma, says a Spokane correspondent, the man who handled hundreds of thousands of dollars of the people’s money ($100,000 of which stuck to his fingers) and who for several years lived in loxury from his pilferings; the man once looked up to and respected in the city, occupied the menial position of waiter behind the lunch-counter of the Farniers’ Home saloon-in this city for a while to-day. Boggs arrived in the city from Tacoma yesterday, penniless and hungry. He said he could find no one to give him employ- ment in the city where for years he was honored, and so he came to Spokane to try his luck. He tramped the city in vain yesterday and this morning in seasth of work. At noon he wearily dropped into a chair at the Farmers’ Home saloon to rest. -He engaged the proprietor in con- versation and begged him to give him some employment, no matter whut it was, Struck with pity for the hungry stranger the proprieter set him to work behind the free-lurch counter at wages of $10 a week- Boges had not been at work an hour be- fore he was recognized by several citizens. The result was that hundreds flocked to the saloon to see the once high official presiding at so menial a task. Boggs could not long face the ordeal and re- signed his position after a few hours. Boggs was convicted of embezzlement of Tacoma city funds, and isout on $10,000 bonds, pending an appeal of his case to the Supreme Court. EL DIRADD'S TOLL ROAD Finest Highway in the World Owned by the State of Califernia. Governor Budd Advocates a Small Expenditure of Money for Its Improvement. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 12.—“With the expenditure of but a comparatively small sum of money the State of Califor- nis will be possessed of one of the finest roads in the world, and in saying this I do not bar even the great highways of Europe,” said Governor Budd shortly after his return from his horseback trip from Placerville to Lake Tahoe. “This road,” he continued, “was origi- nally a toll road, built during the early days of the gold excitement, and at that time was more extensively traveled than any other wagon road in the United States. Eventually it reverted to the State, and for years past has been shame- fully neglected, although the travel over it every summer is still enormous, as it leads through some of the most beautiful | scenery of that home of magnificent nat- | ural views—the Bierras—and 1s a!so the | thoroughfare of the immense dairy inter- est of this and adjoining counties. In point of natural scenery there are views along this road that are worthy the brush | of a master. Especially is this true in that portion of the road which leads ina winding and gradual descent down the mouniain from what is known as the Pa- cific House to the crossing of the Ameri- can River at Moores Bridge. This saction is as smooth as a billiard-table, and after passing through a forest of huge moun- tain pines, spruce and firs is bordered on and Merced streets, was desiroyed by fire to-night. It was one of the finest houses of worship in the city, built 1n 1889, at a cost of about $10,000.. Within the edifice was & pipe organ, the finest between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which wasdo- nated by the late J. H. Hamilton and cost $2500. The insnrance amounts to $4800. When the department had about sub- dued the fire to-night a suspicious char- acter was seen striking a match back of the Methodist Episcopal Church on the corner opposite the scene of the fire. He was caught by the pastor, Rev. D. H. Gil- lan, and upon being questioned acted very strangely. He broke loose and ran away before an officer could be called. —_—— LOS ANGELES WINS. “Examiner’” Baseball Trophy Goes to the Tufts-Luyons Arms Company. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 12.—The Examiner's baseball trophy contest at Athletic Park to-day drew an immense crowd. The first game was between the San Luis Obispos and the Saticoys, with the former a: the bat, The game was won by the San Luis Obispos by the score of8to 7. The second game was between the Tufts-Lyons Arms Company of Il';u city and the San Diegos, the former win- ning the game and a place in the finals easily. be third game was between t e crack Alerts of Alameda and the San Luis Obhispos. After five innings the score stood 23 to 2 in favor of the Alerts. This ended the game. The fourth and final game of the State series was between the Tufts-Lyons and the Alerts. Intense interest was taken in the game. Professional ball was played from the start, the hitiing being mag- niticent. The, home team pounded Mc- Kee, “the pride of the bay counties,” all over the field. Tyler and Whaling coached the home team and Carl Tufts captained it. The Alerts soon became weak, went to pieces and lost the game by a score of 14 tol. Nothing is too good for the home team in this city to-night. SANTA CLARA COUNTY FAIR Attractive Features Arranged for the Exposition at San Jose. Fruit and Wine Will Be Displayed in Abundance—Eatertainm at for Visitors. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 12.—The prepara- | tions that have been in progresss for seve- ral weeks past for a county fair are | destined to result in the greatest fair ever | held in this county. The idea originated | with the Board of Trade, which is com- | posed of the most progressive citizens in | this section, and they have been pecu- | liarly fortunate in their selection of an ex- | ecutive committee for promoting the fair. This commiitee consists of 8 A. Darby | (chairman), one of the leaaing real estate | and insurance agents of this city; J. P. | Fay (secretary), Major W. G. Hawley, L. | M. Hale, F. C. Ensign, W. W. Gillespie, C. J. Steeple, all of whom are devoting a great deal of time to perfecting plans. The fair will open on September 28 and continue one week, closing on October 3. ‘Chairman C. M. Hatcher of the committee | on entertainment presented a report ut the last meeting which promises attrac- tions for each afternoon and evening of such a character as to insure a larce at- tendance. The fruit and wine displays will be such as only a county of this rank could present, and the arrangement of the exhibit as planned is sure to be extremely attractive. The art display will be one of the most complete ever shown here. There are many private collections, which embrace works of the most_prominent artists in this country and Eurovpe, and these are at the disposal of the committee. One gentleman has promised his entire collec- tion of paintings for the exhibit. Sidney Yard bas a splendid collection of his own works which will also be added. There will be an electrical display. Itis proposed to reproduce the electric tower, me‘effecl of which will be strikingly beau- tiful. A band will supply music each day and evening. STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Ewmecutive Commsttes Preparing for the San Jose Convention. BAN JOSE, CaAL., Sept. 12.—The execu- tive committee of the State Teachers’ Association held a meeting this morning in County Superintendent of Schools Chipman’s office making arrangements for the annual convention ot the associa- tion which meets in this city December 28, The meetings of the association will continue three or four days. Professor J. W. Linscott of Santa Cruz presided, and Miss Ann Murphy of Sacramento acted as secretary. Others p:esent were: Pro- fessors W. T. Hall of Berkeley, Earl Barnes of Stanford, Clark of Santa Cruz, Randall, Wilson, Addicott, Hough and Holloway and Miss Cozzens of the Normal; Profes- sors Russell, Smith, Bruch and Bland, Mrs. Olinder, Mrs. Potter and Messrs. Carson, Lee and Suzzalo of this eity. Professors Wilson, Randall, Chipman one side by groves of maple, while from the overhanging banks on the opposite | side the dense mass of hazel brush affords | a shade that is rarely penetrated by the | rays of the sun. " | “At almost every turn of the road a cool | mountain spring trickles from the rocks, | the water being almost too cold to b drunk unless allowed to stand awhile. In| one place a small stream of water falls | straight down the overhanging mountain, | and, striking on the projecting layers of | stone, bursts into a clond of spray, which has caused it to be most appropriately named the Bridal Veil. To the lett, one can look down over a thousand feet into the canyon of the American River and see the water dashed into a mass of white foam against the bowlders which line its chau- nel; and in the distance can be seen the snow-capped mountains, whose summits show in striking contrast against the miles on miles of forest-clad foothills. The scene from one particular point at this place is grand beyond description. *For several miles after leaving the top of the grade above Placervilie—in fact for some distance beyond what is known as Sportsmen’s Hall—the road should be sprinkled, as I understand it was in its earlier days. The cost of this would be merely nominal, as ’lhere is plenty of water in the vicinity.” e CONFLAGRATION AT CHICO, Firemen Prevented by an Ordinance From Fighting a Blage. CHICO, CaAL., Sept. 12.—Fire vesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock destroyed a planing-mill and machiuery, three dwell- ing-house and a burn, all belonging to F. J. Keilar. The buildings were situated west of town, just oatside of the fire Jimits, and for this reason the fire companies were not allowed to turn water from hose on to the buildings. An ordinance prohibits the use of fire apparatus outside of the fire | limits. Besides the building a lot of lum- ber and shincles were destroyed. The loss is between $4000 and $5000. There was insurance on only a portion of the burned buildings, amounting to $1100. The fire started from a furnace, a spark catching in shavings near by. FEESNO CHURCH DESTROYED. Fire Robs a Congregation of Its House of Worship. FRESNO, CaL., Sept. -12.—The Presby- terian Church, located at the corner of K and Russell were appointed a local com- mittee on arrangements. They will select a lady as a fifth member. The question of hall facilities was brought wp. Normal Hall was offered for the use of the convention, but this was not considered large enough, and the meetings will be held in the Carnival Pavilion. Dr. Wilson, United States Com- missioner of Education at Washington, D. C., will be present and address the meetings, Nearly all the teachers in the State belong to the association, and_it is be- lieved the attendance will be between 1500 and 2000.

SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 12.—Gus Lion, assignee of Jacob Rich, an insolvent debtor, has petitioned the Superior Court for an order to sell both real and personal property of insolvent. Rich’s liabilities amount to §620,000.

TRACK ACCIDENT AT SACRAMENTO Jockey Cuddy’s Mount Falls With Him in the Hurdle. STRUCK BY SHARP HOOFS He Suffers a Fracture of the Skull Which May Cause Death. SIX FAVORITES ARE BEATEN. Geyser Wins the Annual and Nebuch. adnezzar the Capital City Stake. | SACRAMENTO, Carn, Sept. 12—A shadow of gloom was cast over the im- mense crowd that attended tie races at Acricultural Park to-day by a probably fatal accident to the popular young steeplechase rider, Frank Cuddy, who had the mount on Huntsman, one of the favorites in the petung for the hurdie event, the last race of theday. The ac- cident occurred at the second jump, in front of the grand stand. Gold Dust took the obstacle first, followed by Zaragoza and Huntsman. The latter horse, close at the heels af the two leaders, did noc¢ raise, but apparently waded through the hur- dles and fell, unseating Cuddy. One of the other starters struck the fallen rider, rolling bim over on the track, ana Uncle Bam, immediately following, struck the prostrate jockey with one of his fore hoofs on the skull, back of the left ear. An ex- amination of the injury in the jockeys’ room skowed the skull to be fractured, and Cuddy was immediately conveyea to the Railroad Hospital, where the operation of trephining was perfiormed, with sligut hope of recovery. Before becoming too heavy to ride on the flat Cuddy roae for Orville Appleby, the San Jose horseman, but for some time past has been in the employ of N. 8. Hall. Tne accident was deplored by horsemen and track employes in general, with whom the injured jockey was very popular. Six hot favorites were chalked up by the pencilers, and these same six choices all bit the dust at different times, causing the talent, which was out in full force, to weep tears of bitter anguish. All sorts of shots skipped past the delusive wire, from Geyser, 2 ¥ to d second choice, to & rank outsider like La Flecha, 2 20 to 1 chance. Vincitor, Thelma, Nebuchadnezzar and Zaragoza also won at remunerative odds, and altogether the betting public enjoyed a most fickle and unbavpy day. The star feature of the big card was the Capital City stake, a handicap, which re- sulted in the defeat of George Rose’s grand three-year-old Ruinart, which was asked to pick up 115 pounds and give away weight to Some splendid per:ormers. He was downed by Nebuchadnezzar, the sturdy little Brutus colt, only after a gruelling drive, and this afier being cut off ip the stretch. Ruinart wasa warm choice in the bettine, his price quickly be- ing swiped from 4 to'5to 110 2. Waeel of Fortune, packing 110 pounds was n xtin demand at 2)4, with the Boots pair, In- stallator and Nebucbadnezzar coupled, Narvaez ‘on Instrllator went out and made the running, leading his stable com- panion into the stretch for home by a half length, with the Wheel third and Ruinart fourth. Below the furiong pole Ruinart, next to the rail, closed up the gap between himself and the leaders, and as the quartet was strung across the track a'most on equal terms, the result seemed a query. The finish was the prettiest of the meet- ing. In the hardest kind of a drive, Mc- Clain got Nebuchadnezzar past the wire a head before Ruinart, with Installa or at the place horse’s saddle girths. The mile and a furlong was covered in 1:554. ‘Wheel of Fortune was fourth, but a neck back of Installator, showing commendable work on the part of the handicapper. Had not Ruinart been cast off below the fur- long vole in attempting to come through in the centerof the track, the result might have been different. The California annual stake, valued at $670, for two-year-olds, over six furlongs, went to Geyser, a crippled son of Ben Ali sporting George Rose's colors. There were but six entries with the Elmwood stock farm duo, The Roman and Hohen- zoliern, going to the post favorites at 3 to 5 backea down from twos. Geyser, which opened an even-money chance, receded to 9to 5. Long odds were laid against the others, True Biue, Hard Tack and Hohenzol- lern made the running to the stretch. Hennessy on True Blue carried the last- named two youngsters out wide at the turn. Freeman on Geyser slipped through next to the rail, took the lead and in a drive headed Hohenzollern out at tie end by three parts of a length in 1:15}. True Blue was a good third. George Rose's Miss Maggis M was an even-money favorite for the opening six- furiong dash for two-year-olds, but ner hard race the day previous evidently told on her, for she was beaten rather handily third choice. Marcel was the outsider. | by the 8 to 5 second choice, Vincitor. Dolce was an ordinary third. Eleven nllianlnexa started in a six- furlong scramble that followed. Caliente of El Primero stable was a redhot 4 to 5 favorite and failed to geta mark. Thelma, an 8 to 1 outsider, cleverly ridden by young Lew, drew out of the bunch in the last sixteenth and won easily by two lengths from Ricardo. Mainstay, with the false price of 100 to 1 against him, headed the bunch into the stretcn, looking nlli over a winner, finally winding up third, 3 The fifth race of the day was also a six- furlong spin, with thirteen platers facing the barrier. Carnation held sway in the betting at 5 to 2, but could not get inside the coin. Little Shepard, astride the 20 to 1 outsider La Flecha, came with a rush at the finish and beat Silver State, the sec- ond choice, out by two lengths. B.anche Bates, a 30 to 1 shot, ran well, finishing a good third. Tte mile and three furlongs hurdle event resulted in another big dump. J O C and Huntsman both carried big bundles of coin, either being held at 2 to 1 in the books, Zaragoza, backed from 12 down to 8 10 1, took the lead after taking the third jump and won galloping in rec- ord time for the distance—2:35. Baby Bill took the place from the third choice, Gold Dust. . Six forlongs, two-year-olds: purse $350. Elmwood farm's b. c. Vinciior, 108, by imp. Brutus-Mollle H (Narvaez), 8to b George Rose’s b. .
