MARTIN KELLY'S BAD BLUFF He Asked for a Second Warrant for the Ballots and Was Sat Down Upoen Very Rudely. The primary election of the Republican party passed off quietly in this City vester- day afternoon, there being but one oppo- sition ticket, and that in the Thirty-sixth Assembly District, engineered by Jack McCarthy, ex-policeman, MT. McCarthy did not pan out a good engineer. He had been given two dele- gates to represent his uninteresting inter- ests, but Mr. McCarthy’s ambition soared higher. He wanted to crow on the top roost and so he put up an opposition ticket and last night there was nothing left of him but the tail feathers, There were many good men on his ticket, but the fact that ambitious Jack flew the track had a tendency todump them into that political purgatory Bnown as *‘the soup.” Like the man who visited the Bowery with more money than brains, they will never go there any more. The following was the McCarthy ticket: Jack McCarthy, W. H. Murphy. J. Car- roll, Charles White, H. G. Foster, L. Sav- age, Charles Duveneck, F. Crystal, James Woods, J. Lorenz, H. Cleary, Robert Thorp, Joseph Sheridan and C. H. Wedge- wood. Club 1 in that district cast 1326 votes; Club 2 860 votes. In Club 1 the recular ticket received 726 votes and Mr. McCarthy’s ticket received 6. 1n Club 2, McCarthy’s stronghold, he received 238 votes to the regular’s 102, In the Fortieth District there occurred a stirring incident. A quiet-looking man had cast his ballot for the regular ticket, spicuously in David Short’s saloon, where- upon a stout man with a thick neck and a red face reproved bim. The voter smote him on the terminal glare of bis rubescent proboscis and sat bim bleeding on the floor. A friend stepped up and indignantly protested. He received the blow in the right eye and sat down with an uphol- stered thud. The third man approached the voter and declared that such conduct was a blank dashed shame. He was the re- cipient, as the society reporter would say, in the left eye of the fistof the voter, and he broke a cuspidor with his left clavicle. Then approached the third man. He deprecated war and advisea arbitration. Just then a warclub made up of flesh and knuckles smote him on the kisser, and he fell racher ungracelully, splitting the seat of a chair with his chin, The whole affair being politics, no ar- rests were made. Early in the evening two emissaries of Martin Kelly, boodler and would-be boss, appeared before Judge Campbell and de- manded a search-warrant for the ballots. No reason being given for this unusual and illegal request, the Judge denied the warrant. ° It was simply a bluff, and showed the desperate straits into which the fakers have been driven. The following is the complete list of the delegates elected: Twenty-eighth District—E. P. Peterson, E. W. Haughy, Joseph Fritz Jr., J. E, O'Brien, 1. F. Bryant, M. Cornyn, T. d. Denahey, H. Loy, H.

Joseph’s Church, on Tenth street, near Howard, was filled from the doors to the altar last evening. The occasion was the mission given by the Redemnptorist fathers of St. Louis, Father 0'Shea and Father Mullane. ‘The mission began a week ago and will last three weeks longer. The first week, devoted to married women, will end at 8 o'clock to-day. The second week, for young ladies’ exclusively, begins at 10 o’clock this morning. The third week is for the married men, and the last week up and about again. Commercial Transfer Co., 43 Sutter street. Telepnone Main 49, Keep your checks for us.* | for the single men. Last evening Father Mullane addressed the married women, and in his discourse pointed out to them their duties as mothers and wives. He spoke with great and had announced that fact rather con- | feeling upon the love that all should have gr the Blessed Virgin, the mother of God. ' She, too, suffered all the pains of mind and body that afflict the women of modern times and, having suffered, can feel for those who sre in trouble. Those who are in distress can and should appeal to the Virgin who will intercede with vhe Sou. At the conclusion about 500 young girls were dedicated to_the Virgin, and, Father Mullane requested that the little bounquet of lowers that each carried be presented at the shrine. The children presented a very pretty picture inol.hah- robes of pure white, AT ST. MATTHEW’S. Annual Reunion of *“Oid Boys” of Dr. Brewer’s School Largely Attended, There was a large attendance at the an- nual reunion of the “cld boys” of Dr. Brewer’s school at San Mateo yesterday.

M oMl Curtner. Rodrigud Frederick Johuson' (capt.) The contest, which was for a handsome loving-cup, was stubbornly contested and resulted, as stated, in a tie. J. K.

Dancing followed, and later the guests took the trains for this City and San Jose. ECONOMY DESIRED. A Communication From the Grand Jury to the Heads of Municipal Departments. The Grand Jury, which adjourned sine die last Thursday, addressed the follow- ing communication to the Assessor, Chief of Police, City Hall Commissioners, Board of Education, Board of Eleciion Commis- sioners, Coroner, County Clerk, Health Officer, Tax Collector, Superintendent of Streets, License Coilector and Sheriff: GRAND JURY KOOMS, ; CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 1896, Dear Sir: In yiew of the stress ot the times and the just demands of taxpayers for reason- able taxation, it is earnestly suggested to you by the Grand Jury that you use all possible economy, care and discretion in the admniinis- tration or tne office and the duties with which you have been charged by the citizens of this | City; that, without refurd to the permission given you by special laws made to meet special emergencies, you refrain from the ex- ercise of any or all the privileges thereby ac- corded you, except when your honest judg- ment teils you the publice service requires it.

MCLENNAN, Secretary. The Grand Jury also sent a letter of thanks to District Attorney Barnes for his assistance. HS HOKOR WIS ARG, Justice Gro:zinger Gives a Money- Lender an Oral Casti- gation. Charles Ebn’s Reward for Charging 10 Per Cent a Month on a Note. A sad story was told in Justice Groezinger’s court yesterday, and the tell- ing resulted in Charles Ehn, a money- lender, being thoroughly ‘‘roasted” by the bench. The defendant is Mrs. Rose Madero, who, with her five children, lives at 1226 Green street. According to the téstimony one of her children fell sick several months ago, and being without funds to purchase the medicines and delicacies needed for the little one, she decided to borrow money on her scanty furniture and sent for Ehn. The money-lender came, and after listan- ing to her sad tale, in which she related the story of her dying babe and of her great need, he consented to loan her $50 if ashe would give Lim a note secured by a chattel mortgage, Mrs. Madero accom- panied him to a notary, and there, not be- ing able to read or write, affixed her X J. | mark to a note in which she agreed to pay 10 per cent a month for the use of $50 for ninety days. She also had to pay the notary’s fees for making out the mortgage and note. Ehn told her that all she must do was to pay $5 per month, which she supposed would pay interest and principal, her knowledge of figures being very limited. The next day her baby died. With the assistance of one of her little girls, who earns 40 cents a day in a factory, she managed to pay $40 iu §5 driblets, and then to her astonishment was served with the papers in a suit to foreclose the mortgage, J. J. Rauer being the assignee of the claim. o When the case came up yesterday the attorney for the de!end-m{:euged for a continuance of ten days stating that his chent had managed .to borrow $35 and would pay that down and the balance within ‘the time specified or allow the furniture to go without further protest. Ebn entered a vigorous protest, but was brought to a sudden hait ‘iy the Justice, who had been looking over the papers. “This is simply an outrage and one that I shall not aliow to go unnoticed,’” he said. -*‘It abpears from this complaint that the assignor here Ehn charged this roor woman 10 per cent per month for the oan of $50 and that he now, after receiv- ing $40 of his claim, desires to take her few liitle belongings from her. “It is' simply barbarous and it is the greatest shame that the law does not pro- vide a severe penalty for such proceed- ingls. 1t is worse than robbery. *Ishall give Mrs. Madera thirty days’ time instead of the ten as asked by her attorney and no interest will be allowed either. Any jury in the land would have given her a verdict. but under the circum- stances I am sorry to say I cannot.’’ L e———— Baseball To-Day.

A GRAND ELECTRICAL DISPLAY The Dairymen’s Exhibit Attracting Much Attention, Especially the Big Cheese. At no time since the Home Products Exposition at the Pavilion opened the doors to the public has there been such a crowd as there was last evening. The principal attraction was the exhibition drill of the Veteran Firemen, who turned out in full force to show the people of to- day how they extinguished fires with the old band-machine *‘Young America” in years long gone. The committee of arrangements con- sisted of the following veterans: President Joseph F. Marshal, First Vice-Pres- ident Steplien Bonner, Second Vice-President George Barrilson, Third Vice-President W. H. Miller, Financial Secretary Gustay Poplman, Recunlln? Secretary James Pennycoke, Treas- urer Williem Fahrenberg, Directors W. Rau- binger, Henry N. Kohn, Thomas Cornell, Al Harrls, Trustees F. A. Will, R. Harold and H. J. Byrnes. 3 On Monday evening the Germans will hold forth, the occasion being known as German night. Ail the German singing societies in the City will be present, and in the grand choruses there will be 450 voices. Professor Franz Fischer will offi- ciate as leader. A special programme of music has been prepared. A quiet little flirtation that had been in progress at one of the pérfumery booths was rudely spoiled yesterday afternoon by the unexpected arrival of the ag- grieved wife on the sgene. A well-to-do- appearing man; not very old and not very young, had been spending much time at a booth 1n which was a young woman with blue eves and short blonde, curly hair. He was leaning with a bicycle crook in his back over the counter yesterday talk- ing to the charmer when the whack of an umbrella across his spinal column caused him to stand erect very suddenly. He confronted a stoutly built, determined looking woman who said: “So, sir; this is the way you worry your life away over your business affairs, is it?” The man looked desperately foolish and said: “Great Scott, Mary, don’t make a scene here. Let us go home.” Thereis another small kick among some of the exhibitors, and the trouble will probably find its way into the Health De- artment. One of the local candy-dealers as a concession to make and sell candy. The discovery has been made that lurge numbers of barrels marked ‘glucose,’”” have been taken into the Pavilion and made into candy, The total vote to date on the most pop- unlar exhibit is as follows: Johnson Locke Mercantile CO!!IEI y, 2390; Joshua Hendy Machine Works, 2630; Crown Flour Company, 1339; Rix Compressed Alr Mechine Company, 958; Tiilmann & Bendel, 764; Laumeister Milling Company, 460; Union Iron Works. 476; W. P. Fulier & Co., 405; Zan Bros., 509; Fishbeck & Glootz, 243} American Biscuit Company, 780, Light, heat and power, all the product of electricity, are shown to excellent ad- vantage in the disolay of the Edison Light and Power Company at the fair. A pum- ber of novelties are 1ntroduced in the ex- hibit, and the visitors to the fair from day to day find much that is interesting and instructive in the company’s display, The one feature that perhaps attracts the greatest attention and elicits the most comment is the methods shown for utiliz- ing electric power for cooking and heat- ing putposes. Advances are made so rapidly in all branches of electrical science that it will probably not bea very great while before electricity will be used for cooking and heating purposes to the same extent that gas 1s &t present, and ulti- mately it may displace all manner of fuel. It is only a question of cost, and each year sees new inventions introduged that heep reducing the cost of producing elec- tric energy. The greatest uses to which electricity has been successfully applied thus far are in the production of light and power, and the Edison Light and Power Company has a plant that eunables it to furnish to the residents of San Fran- cisco all the eiectric energy that may be required for any purpose, Electricity is being utilized for power purposes more and more each year, and the results are in every instance extremely satisfactory. It can be furnished in any quantity desired, from one horsepower upward, It is cheaper than steam power and is also much safer, and it 15 these two very im- portant factors that have been chiefly responsible for the adoption in this City to such a large extent of electricity for motor purposes, 7 At to the use of electricity for light- ing purposes comment is unnecessary, for people are well aware of the many novel as well as useful adyantages that elec- tricity possesses over all known forms of illumination. For cooking purposes elec- tricity furnishes the means for fitting up an ideal kitchen, There is entire absence of dirt or smell. Itcan be turned off when not in use, and as soon as the current is turned on an intense heatis the instan- taneous result. It has everything to com- mend it, and the display “at the fair will perhaps be the means of causing many people in this City to see the aavantages to gained by the use of electricity for cooking, a circumstance which would na- turally resuit in the installation of numer- ous electric kitchen: Many visitors to the fair are probably not aware that the display made by the Dairymen’s Union of California is repre- sentative of one of the foremost industries not alone of this Siate, but of the United States. The value of the dairy prodvcts of the country each year areexceeded onl: by the grain products, and therefore this display is deserving of the greatest atten- tion. It is a magnificent exposition of California’s extensive dairy interests, and in the display every county in the Stateis represented. 1t is by far the finest and most complete exhibit of the kind ever made on the coast, with the exception of the display made by this same association at the Midwinter Fair, where they receivea the highest and special awards'on butter and cheese. California creamery butter has a reputation for excellenee that is too well established to require special men- tion. 1n the production of cheese Califor- nia now ranks with any of the Kastern Btates, and it is due largely to the efforts of the Dairynren’s Union that such is the case. Great quantities of cheese are shown in the display, and there is not a und in the entire lot thatis not equal to the best ever imported from the East. The center of attraction of the exhbibit is a mammoth cheese weighing 638 pounds, Itis a full- cream, made by the cheddar process, This is a particularly delicious variety and about all of this kind that is sold in_ this market at present eomox:rom the East. ‘The sucsess of the Dairymen’s Union in the manufacture of this brand will enable them to supply the local demand and add materially to California’s in- dustries. This display merits careful con- sideration on the part of visitors when balloting for the best exhibit. " THREE SHOPLIFTERS. The Police to Be Employed in Running Down Some Very Clever Women Rogues. For ten days past the police have been looking for three shoplifters who, it ap- pears, have managed to get away with several hundred dollars’ worth of goods. Just how the scheme is worked is not definitely explained, but that they have worked successfully is admitted by the parties mostly intere: Nearly two weeks ago three women vis- ited the store of Davis Bros. and managed to walk away with several articles of con- siderable value. They then turned their attention to Hale Bros. and stole some articles. Two or three times the trick was turned, and then the proprietors :;legan to cast about for the guilty par- es. In the meantime other stores reported similar losses, and the Retail Merchants’ Association held an indignation meeting. It was determined to ask Chief Crowley to appoint two special officers to visit the various retail stores during each day, the belief being tbat in this way the swind- lers would eventually be brought to jus- tice. The following gentlemen were named as a_eommittee to lay the matter -betore the Police Department: 8. M. Levy, J. H. Martin, Samuel Weller and Leon Samuels. No special officers for the services re- $\1ired have as yet been appointed by the olice Department. In the meantimethe three mysterious women continue to get in their work. Itis sad tbat during the last few days they have visited several Kearny-street establishments, securlnfi plunder of no little value. They worl singly and in pairs, but never as a trio. Only once have they been seen together, and that was at Hale Bros’, So clever is their work, however, that no one has as yet been able to catch them in the act of stealing. ' LUMBER ATTACHED. The Local Stock of an Everett (Wash.) Concern in the Hands of the Sheriff, The Bell Lumber Company, of Everett, Wash., a corporation carrying a heavy stock of lumber in this City, was attached yesterday in asuit filed at the instance of the Central Lumber Company of gnluornh. having beaaquarters in this ity. The Bell Company had big contracts with the local concern, which it failed to lu}ltfil, and the suit for $2375 was the re- sult. The Bank of Everett is belieyed to be a creditor of the company to a heavy amount and attachments on the concern’s mills at Everett are said to be almost cer- tain. Bishop & Wheeler are the attorneys for the plaintiff. - Two Brothers Missing. The police were notified yesterday of the disappearance of Arthur and Pred Otes from their home, 261} Clementina street, last Tuesday. They told other boys that they were going to pick hops either at Fresno, Pleasan- ton or San Leandro. Arthur is 14 years of age and Fred two years younger. Arthur was dressed in a new suit of dark clothes and took his old suit with him, while Frea had on s shabby suit of dark clothes. THIS SON WAS UNFILIAL W. Cron Jr. Charged With Having Defrauded* His Father. Induced Him to Sign a Quitclaim Deed to His Property Unaer a Misrepresemtation. William Cron, an old and well-known German citizen, through his attorney, Alfred Fuhrman, began suit yesterday against his son, William Cron Jr., to re- cover property worth $20,000, which the old man alleges his son secured from him by fraud.
