THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1896. FAIR N AID OF HOMELESS B0 All of the Final Arrange- ments Have Been Com- pleted. ENTHUSIASTIC WORKERS Prospects of a Large Fund Be- ing Raised for the Youths’ Directory. NUMEROUS AND COSTLY PRIZES List of the Varicus Booths and the Ladies Who Will Be in Charge of Them. Judging from the enthusiasm mani- fested in the preparatory work for the great festival in aid of the Youths’ Direc- tory, that event, which is down for Thurs- day, September 24, will be one of the most successful affairs of the kind ever held in this City. It is to be held in the First Regiment Armory. At the last meeting held at the Youths’ Directory heacdquarters, there were fully four bundred persons present, half of whom were ladies, and all the final ar- rangements were completed. James R. Kelly presided and Miss N. M. Sullivan acted as secretary. The various commit- Rev. Father Crowley. tees which had been engaged in the work of collecting funds for the affair reported that they had met with unexpected en- couragement in almost every quarter, and that in consequence they had a large fund of money on hand. Rev. Father Crowley, the head of this institution for homeless boys, expressed himself as much gratified over the results thus far, which much exceed even his most sanguine expectations. According to the reports of the ladies having in charge the labor of securing prizes for the festival, the booths will dis- play some of the most costly prizes ever offered, ana their number will be excep- tionally large. These will all be raffled for, and include cows, horses, buggies, pianos, sets of furniture and hundreds of other valuable articles. Through the generosity of James A. Haran, the popular secretary of the Baife-Moore club, the ladies of the Holy Cross booth will be able to offer to the patrons of the fair a unique tea set of Irish vorcelain. It is hand-painted in green and gold, the design being a shamrock. John Dignan will have a piece of real blarney stone on exhibition, and the priv- ilege of kissing it will be vouchsafed to all, 80 that no one who attends the fair will ever need to be diffident of appearing in pablic or in private as a speaker. Many other novel attractions wiill b2 on hand and the field for enjoyment of all kinds will be practically unlimited. Captain T. P. Crowley, who for years has held the medal for he‘mgBlhe best shot in the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles, will take charge of the snooting-gallery. H. J. Meagher will look after the art gal- lery and Eustice Culiinan, a graduate of the Notre Dame University, will edit the Bazaar Journal, which will be published every day during the fair. Mrs. Edward May will take charze of the advertising ¢olumns of the Journal, and both will be assisted by several brightlocal journalists. In addition to the many other attrac- tions several orchestras and bands will lay during the various evenings of the estival, including Blanchard’s, the Ama- teur Symphony orchestra, the Hebrew, Orphan Asylum band, the Letter-carriers’ band and the Sacred Heart College or- chestra.

(WHITE CARS FOR MALL A New Streetcar Service to Be Inaugurated Next Monday. Average of Two Hours Saved Patrons of Uncle Sam—Other to Innovations Promised. The removal of the receiving and dis- patching department of the general Post- office on Washington street to Station D at the foot of Marke: street was begun yesterday afternoon at 40’clock. All night long twenty teams were enzaged in mak- ing the transfer and it is calculated that everything will be in smooth running or- der by to-day. Beginning to-morrow (Monday) the new street railway postal service will be ini gurated. This will give to San Francisco the most perfect system of any city in America. To business men it will be par- ticularly advantageous and to the average correspondent an innovation of never- ceasing joy. To_ Superintendent of Railway Mail Service Flint, Inspector in Charge Munro and Postmaster McCoppin 1s due the credit of the new service. Mr. Flint saw the needs of such a system months ago and unfolded his plans to the other gentiemen named. The three canvassed the situation thoroughly, finally submitting to the au- thorities a: Washington the plans which will be consummated within the next twenty-four hours. Last Monday the first official test of the new system was made. At 11:01 o’clock the car to be used on the broad-gauge ca- ble lines left Station D at the foot of Mar- ket street. 1n exactly thirty-two minutes Stanyan street was reached and the return trip begun. One minute more was re- quired on the down trio, the whole co suming exactly one hourand five min- utes, This included two brief stops, at Station B, City Hall avenuve, and H on Hayes street. On the broad-gauge cable line the first car will leave at 5:40 A. M., making ten round trips each day. The trial trip on the electric line was equally successful. The first objective point, Station J, was reached 1n exactiy fifteen minutes, four minates being lost in making the loop around Broadway, Stockton and New Montgomery streets. The run out Kearny and Mission streets to 8tation C, on Twentieth and Mission, was devoid of interest, except that the lost tune was made up and something like five minutes gained. The major portion of this was lost, however, in making the turn at Twen’tly-seconu street, two blocks be- vond. he return trip was made on schedule time, one hour and thirty-seven minutes, though it is believed this will be improved somewhat when the system is in thorougih working order. The first car on the electric line will leave the foot of Market street at 5:37 A. ™., making seven roun% trips to Station C and five to Sta- tion J. The official time from Station D to Stan- yan street and return was as follows: Left Station D, 11:01 A. .; arrived Station B, 11:14; left Station B, 11:15;arrived Station H,11:22} left Station H, 11:23; arrived Stan- van street, 11:32. Return urip—Arrived Station H, 11:46 A. M.; arrived Station B, 11:52; arrived Station D, 12:05 P. ». On the electric line the time was as fol- lows: Left Station D, 8 P. M. rived Station J, 3:15; left Station J, $:16; arrived Station C, 3:39; left Station C, 3:40; arrived Twenty. second street, 3:42; left Twent 3:48; arrived Siation C, 3:51; arrived Station J. 4:22; errived Station D, The Sacramento-street or narrow-gatge cable lines will be officially tested this morning at 10 o'clock. Station A, Poik and Sacramento streets; F, Fillmore and Sacramento streets, and M, Sixth avenue and Clement street, will be served by this road. Nine round trips will be made daily to btations A and F and four to Sia- tion M. The three mailcars are perfect models of the mechanic’s art. Painted white, with gold lettering, they are extremely attrac- tive, and were admired by thousands yes- terday. The interior finishings aré perfect in detail, the distributing-desks and gouch-ncka bein%mrticulnly complete. he cars cost $1500 each, aud have been built under the direction of Buperin- tendent Flint, The latter expects soon to make other innovations which will materi- ally improve the jocal service. ‘The removal of the mailing department to Station D necessitates many changes in the Washington-gtreet office. In all ninety amgloycu. fifty-seven from the mailing and thirty-three from the City de- partment, will work from the new sub- office. The general delivery, money order and stamp business and “general offi will remain at the Washington-street office. When the new street mail system is in smooth ruruning order it is expected that a saving of from a half to three hours will be effected. —————— The Divorce Mill. i Judge Sanderson yesterday granted Jennie B.

Will Hold a Grand Yxeursion to San Jose Next Sunday. San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose lodges of the Journeymen Butchers’ Pro- tective and Benevolent Association of the Pacific Coast will hold a grand excur- sion and barbecue to Agricuitnral Park, San Jose, on Sunday, September 20. Extensive preparations are being made to make the event a successful one, and it is expected that there will be a large attendance. There will be a street Knrude in Ban Jose after the arrival of the excursion and novel features will be introduced. Five steers, weighing 4000 pounds, will be bar- becued and served free to tho:e who go on the excursion. There will be dancing in | two pavilions and various smusements and diversions for all who participate. Round-trip tickets have been placed at $1. Train will leave Third and Townsend streets at 9 o’clock A. m.and returning leave San Jose at 6:30 o’clock p. M. e L it Lectured on Gold Mining, Academy of Science Hall was crowded with an appreciative audience of mining people Friday evening to listen to the lecture on gold mining given under the auspices of the Gold Mining Exchange. Augustus J. Bowie, M.E., detatied much generai information on gold mining in all its phases for over an hour. Mr. von der Roop. superiutendent of the Seiby Smelting Works, failed to appear owing to ili- in his family. His paper was read, how- by President Turnbull. Though short it ned clearly the mannerof extracting the precious metals by the fire process. A i S s THE UNIDENTIFIED MAN AT THE MORGUE. he fraction of a second. The body of the man who was to have been interred under six feet of earth and who had been positively identified as Mathew Roach, again rests on a cold marble slab at the Morgue with the fearful-sounding word “unidentified” resting over him. The case is probably the most peculiar that has ever occurred in this City. The facts, briefly reiated, are as follows: Fri- | day morning the body of a man was seen floating in the bay near the Ocean House. It was finally captured and removed to the Morgue. Later in the afternoon H. J. Stone of 246 Third street positively identi- fied the body as that of Mathew Roach, formerly employed at O'Connor & Mof- fatt’s, The last-named parties were noti- fied of the death of their former clerk, whereupon they immediately agreed to | bear the burden of the expenses incident to a decent funeral.

A steady and continuous line of im- provements is being prosecuted on the south side of the Mission channel. John F. Kennedy, who has leased a portion of the rallroad property on the south side of establishment, was asked to look after the | Kentucky streer beyond Long bridge, is burial, and without any delay he sought the services of O’Connor & Co., undertak- ers. The body of Roach was removed to their place of business and duly prepared for interment. Yesterday morning sim ple services were held, and then the lonely vrocession started for Third and Town- send streets, where the funeral-car was waiting to convey the remains to Holy Cross Cemetery. About the time the procession reached the station Deputy Coroner McCormick, who was at the Morgue, was called up over the telephone. “Say, is tnat the Morgue? I wantto see kCgmner Hawkins or Deputy McCor- mick. *This is McCormick talking now. Who is it, and what do yow want?” ““Well, say; this'is Roach—" t“Which Roach?” interrupted the dep- uty. “Mathew Roach, and i want to—" “Well, I guess not. You can’t scare me with any such talk as that. Mathew Roach, or rather his body, is now on its way to the Holy Cross Cemetery.”” *‘Yes, I know. That is just what I want to talk about. I am the original, Simon pure, Mathew Roach, and 1 object to being buried before 1 am dead.” Other conversation followed, during which it developed that the Mathew Koach who worked for O'Connor & Moffatt bad been for some time at the City and County Hospital, consequently the corpse then on its way to the cemetery could not be bis. Stone was undeniably in error, and the kindness of the real Roacu’s former employers was a mistaken one. McCormick telephoned to thie Third and Townsend street station just in time to stop the funeral-car. The casket contain- ing the again unknown man was removed and later conveyed back tothe Morgue. For a second time it is among the ‘‘un- identified,” and in ail provability will finally find a resting-place in the potter’s fleld instead of the sacred ground of the Holy Cross Cemetery. THE LOAM WAS STOLEN, Park Commissioners and Several Others May Get Themselves Iuto Trouble. J. C. H. Mathai, a capitalist living at 3281 Mission street, owns a lot 400x265 feet on the Ocean road, near Twenty-sixth street. 1i was about four feet above the level of the road, and was covered toa depth of some feet by fine loam. For dome weeks people have been going to the ot during the early morning hours and carting off the loam, till now there is very little left. Mathai posted up notices warning people against carting off the loam, but the notices were always torn down as soon as put up. Yesterday morn- ing fifteen wagon-loads were carted away, and Mathai’s two danghters, who were on the watch, followed the wagons to Golden Gate Park. They found the men had been selling the loam to the Park Commission- ers for $1 a load. The two young ladies went to Judge Conlan’s court and told their story. They wanted warrants for the arrest of several *John Does’’ for petty larceny, and war- rants against the Park Commissioners for receiving stolen property. They were told it could not be done, and then they asked for a search warrant to get back the stolen loam. This was politely refused, and they went away disappointed. ————————— — Sued for Libel. The Dairymen’s Union of California has sued | i | | having the waters of the bay forced back by the dumping of refuse matter, which is being placed there by the scavengers and covered over with earth preparatory to making the area acceptable for a lumber site wiich he will occupy as soon as acceptable. Farther south the Potrero Land and Improvement Company has about com- pleted the filling in of four acres of ground that heretofore was a yawning chasm unfit foranything except the habitation of frogs. To fiill this in 130,000 cubic yards of rock had been removed irom Kentucky-street hill, better known as Bluerock hill. The ground thus improved is bounded by Twentieth and Twenty-second streets on the north and south and Sierra and Napa on the east and west. Houses that formerly stood on ti:e sloping side 2f the conform to the grade. This gigantic job has required eighteen months of constant work and fifty men found steady employment during that period. The same company that has done so much to improve thilfi\orlian of the City will next attack the Kentucky-street hill from the west side and cut Twenty-second street from Indiana to Mississippi street through to Kentucky, thus honeycombing place on the Mission mad flats, John Kelso, who has secured the con- tract for grading the county road from Eighteenth avenue to the Five-mile House, a distance of two and a half miles, has started the work with a determina- tion to push it to a finish. 8o fur he has got the road in condition as far as Twenty- fourth avenue, tie place where the recent homicide of Florentine took place. The house which he occupied at that time has now been placed on stilts nteen feet high for the purpose of getting it on the rade of the new level, which will be filled in to that height by the contractor As soon as Kelso finishes this avenue will form a very pleasant ariveway from tue City into S4n Mateo Couuty, as the roadway will be 100 wide, over which the railroad company will extend its electric line of cars, joining the San Bruno line at its junction with Railroad avenue at tae Five-mile House. This proposed extension will be hailed as a boon Ly the thousands of workmen em;ioyed at the Bpreckels Sugar Refiner: and the rolling-mills, as it will e l’- them to reside in B healthy portion of the suburbs without the ineconvenience of computing time and complicated trans- fers as issued by Mr. Vining and changed so frequently as to puzzle the publie.

TEST VOTE BY FARMERS Sporting Mep Offering Heavy Bets on McKinley's Success. IS MR. BRYAN HENPECKED? Major McKinley's Reasoas for S'aying at Home as Stated to Colonel Stone. Colonel George Stone of the Union League Club returned last Thursday morning from a trip through Ohio, Il- linois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. He left here several weeks ago to attend the National convention of the League of Republican Clubs at Milwaukee, to which convention he had been appointed as a delegate from California. While East Colonel Stone waa elected one of the execulive committee of fifteen to wait upon Major McKinley at Canton, Ohio. Colonel Stone was also a delegate to the Grand Army of the Republic en- campment at St. Paul. Iée found that the old soldiers almost to a man will support McKinley, even those who voted for Grover Cieveland four years ago. The majority of those old soldiers also have a son or two in the family old enough to vote. The colonel kept his eyes and ears open while in the Easr, in order to learn the true state of popular sentiment. In Illinois he found that the sentiment was for sound money and McKinley. Sporting men in Chicago are offering to bet even money that Iilinois will give 50,000 plurality for McKinley, and that he will receive 75,000 more votes that Bryan in that State. Ohio_is put down at 75,000 majority for McKinley. Michigan is looked upon as doubtful, the nominee for Governor on the Republican ticket being a very unpopular man, and the party 1selt being badly split in that State. ‘Wisconsin is looked to for 75,000 major- | ity. Minnesota and Iowa, in Colonel | Stone's opinion, are absolutely safe. These statements are based upon the expres- | sions of the sentiment of the people with whom he had conversed in those different Btates. . Aboard the train on which he left for home were four extra passenger coaches conveying Nebraska farmers to their | homes, after attending the State Fair at i Omaha. The colonel took a poll of the Feople in those four coaches, with the fol- owing result: McKinley 75, Bryan 29, not voting 7. He aiso interviewed the seven train men and found that they were for McKinley. Asa proof that those four coaches represented the sentiment cof Nebraskans t..e coaches were dropped from the traini before it got out of Nebraska. Colonel Stone was very much surprised at the resalt of the straw vote and ques- tioned nearly every one of the seventy- five McKinley men as to their reasons for not supporting Mr. Bryan. They in- formed him that they did not consider the silver issue at ali, but that they were too patriotic to indorse the anarchistic platform adoptad by the National Demo- cratic Convention at Chicazo. On his visit to Major McKinley at his home in Canton, Ohio, he asked the Major | why he did not take the stump, and the | Major replied that he did not think it would be dignified for a man who aspired | to be president of a great nation to be | traveling all over the country begging people to vote for him. It would do him ! more good, he thought, to stay at home | and receive the delegations from the peo- ple who came ~voluntarily to visit him | irom all parts of the Union. | The major makes nve or six zhert speeches a day and never repeats himseif, | as Bryan does.?Coloue! Stone was greatly pleased with Major McKinley. He found Dim to bea manof brains and a statee- | man. When the colone; asked the Major | as to what he thought oi the prospects for his election the major replied that he | placed his reliance in the good sense of | the American people, He was confident | that they would never go wrong when | thev understood the issues, and that they | had never been and never would be found | irresponsive whenever an appeal was made to their loyalty to the Reépublic. { In reply to aquestion by & CALLre- orter as to tie prospects of New York gtale for Repuablicanism Colonel Stone replied that sporting men in Chicago were offering unlimited amounts of monev even up on the proposition that McKinley would feceive 150,000 more votesin New York State than Bryan. The latest political gossip in the East is that if Major McKinley is defeated Mrs, W. J. Bryan and not William J. Bryan will be the President. In fact the gossips say that the spouter from Nebraska is badly henpecked and that his wile revises all his speeches before they are delivered. Pt s Soehhniug GENERAL DICKINSON.
