THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1896. 13 FAILED FOR THE EGHTH TIME Frank Cheesman of South Berkeley Tries Sui- cide Again. This Time He Shoots Himseli Through His Left Lung. Fear Expressed That He Will Not Nee d to Make Another Attempt. 3Y, Car, Dec. 7.—Frank H. Cheesman, a young man 24 years of age, living with his parents on Otis street, South Berkeley, attempted to commit suicide for the eighth time on Saturday eveni put the facts in the case were kept a profonnd secret until to-day, when they leaked out. Upon going home at about 8:30 in the evening, he went to bis room, and seizing a revolver shot himself through the left :, barely missing the heart. The bullet was removed from his back, and now the young man is resting easily, doubts are expressed as to his recovery. Cheesman was in the employ of Al Wood & Bro., painters, of Oaklana, and after being paid off on Saturday night went to a saloon and indulged in drinking for a while. Going home from thers early in the evening he immediately went to his father’s room, where ne secured a revolver, and, placing it to his breast, attempted to end his existence. At the report oi the weapon O. T. Bolten, his brother-in-law, rushed into the room and found Cheesman writhin the floor. Between gasps he said: * ve shot myself. What's the use of living? No one cares for me. I can’tlive on small wages.” This attempt to cut off his ex ence, which may yet prove to be h final one, is the last of a series of eight ar efforts. ears ago. he jumped from a win- in San Francisco on an electr ht wire, hop thereby to electrocute self.

His wiie iy also a pastor, and for several vears preached at Pasadena, where she received a salary of $2000 a year. It will not be known until tihe end of the present week whether the call will be accepted. Another Globe-Trotter.

Alameda County Juries Disposed ‘to Piace High Vaines on Limbs and Lives of the Public. OAKLAND, CAL., Dec. 7.—The courts of Alameda County are flooded just now with damage suits and more are promised, One of the most noticeable is that of a man who sued for being seven-eighths demaged. His attorney, ex-Mayor Chap- man, experienced quite a littie trouble in convineing the court that the damages an electric car can inflict on a man can. be estimated with such mathematical cor- rectness as is expressed by the term “geven-eighths.” The attorney’s legal contention in sup- port of his phraseology was thar the_ man is only capable of earning one-eighth of the salary that he once commanded. Sam Bell McKee, attorney for the de- fendant, the Haywards electric road, ob- iected to the language, but Mr. Chapman broved to the court’s satisfaction that a man who can only earn one dollar now where formerly he earned eighi is cer- (ainly only one-eighth as good as he was vefore the accident, and on t.is showing the case was permitted to go to trial on the original complaint. The tendency of Alameda juriesin dam- nst the electric roads is wing more and more in favor of heavy awards to the plaintiff. Three davs ago 8 n named O'Donnell was awarded $15 00 against the Havwards road forthe g of his boy. Not long since the Howlands were awarded $14,000 against ihe Oakland Consolidated, and about the . then suddenly he will lose | egraph avenue yesterday af-| He is writing a | same time the Supreme Court confirmed a verdict of $14,000 for the death of Mrs. Redfield against the Piedmont road. case is now on trial, brought by L. W. Murdock, against the Haywards road for $20,000, and still another one has just been filed, while the Kinnear case was compro- mised on Saturday out of court. There have been many other fatal acci- denis, including the killing of the two lit- tle Booth children in West Oakland, but although suits have been threated they have not yet been filed. : In view of ail these proceedings, the efforts of the Realty Syndicate owned by F. M. Smith, to consolidate, several rvads under one management, and thus cut down the running expenses, is viewed with alarm by the puvlic and by delight with the lawyers. Superintendent Grim, who has probably been the most efficient rail- road man in this city since electric roads were introduced and who is thoroughly pusted on the requirements of the various branches, says that no further retrench- ment in the way of management can be practiced with safety on the consolidated road. Mr. Grim has re- signed from his position and yi'lll cease his connection with the consolidation next January and it 1s g ven out that there will be no successor, but his duties_ will be added to those of Superintendent Rudolph of the Twelfth-street road. A TOWN'S LIBERTY. For One Week Emeryville Residents Are ¥ree From Local Laws. OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 7.—The Supervi- sors met this morning and canvassed the returns of the Emeryville election, after which a resolution was carried declaring Emeryville a town of tne sixth class, The official vote showed that 150 votes were for incorporation and only 38 against. The first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the new town will be held next Monaay. J. 8. Colburn andJ. G. Smith each having received 111 votes for Town Clerk the board will appointan incumbent for the forty days during which a contest must be filed. Ifno contestis made by that time an election will be called and the matter submitted to the people. For this week the town of Emeryville enjoys the privilege, i such it can be calied, of being amenable to no local laws. The action of the Supervisors this morning declaring it a town placed it be- { yond the pale of all county license legis- lation. As the Trustees do not organize | until next Monday night any one is now at liberty in the interval to open up any kind of a business requiring a license without fear of arrest. In case of crime the Sher:ff would not be acting within his jurisdiction if he went within the town limit, and till next Monday the Marshal will not have qualified, and consequently the new town will go for a whoie week without police supervision ST, JUSEPH'S CEMETERY Many Objections Against Dis- turbing the Graves of Hali a Century. Everyboedy in the Historic Town Is Personally Interested in the Attempt to Reopen. OARLAND OFFIcE SaN FraNcisco CALL,) 908 Broad way, Dec. 7. § A warm discussion took place to-day at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors over the vroposed opening of the old St. Joseph’s Cemetery at Mission San Jose, J. F. Caffrey, who appeared for the pe- titioners, said it was the understanding that persons having property rights in the cemetery were not to be disturbed, but he has found that this course was not being pursued. The opposition petition, he de- clared, was not acting in good faith. He was very emphatic in declaring that the largenumber of burials sa:d to have taken place in the cemetery is not borne out by facts, many of the bodies credited to St. Joseph’s being in the Indian cemetery. 1f these six thousand bodies,” he said, “‘which the opponents say are under the ground were stood up shoulder to shoul- der the little patch could not hold tkem. In 1868 the old church was destroyed by | an earthguake. This left a lot of adobe which was spread over the cemeteryjto a depth of four feet. If there are any graves underneath they are buried so deep that the bones can never come to the surface.'’ Father McNaboe of the church asked that the request be granted to open the cemetery. He said nie was in favor of al- lowing those baving unoccupied lots to use them, but he would not be in favor of iupeninv_’ new lots inside the fence of the present cemetery. But if the people of the Mission desire to extend the limits of the present cemetery by adding a few acres of unused ground he thinks they should be allowed to do so. P. J. Bez said he pleaded for the widows and orphans whose hu-bands and fathers were buried in the cemetery, and said that there was no one among the opposi- tion who objected to the ground on the sanitary basis. *“Isayitis a shame,” he said, *‘to make the widows give up the corpses of their dead and transplant them three miles away in 2 mirehole. We have o.d pioneers there, men who can go back forty years and teil all about this sanitary trouble, and they demand justice. The | fact that the clergy iive within twenty feet of the egraveyard is the best proof that | there is nothing wrong with its sanitary | condition.” The Health Officer of Washington Town- ship has declared that the opening cf the graveyard is inadvisable from a sanmitary | point of view, and Judge Scribner, who | represented the opponents, also took this | view. Many prominent residents of the { Mission gave their testimony, and as a compromise seemed possible the case was | continued for two weeks. The affair is creating considerable interest in ihe Mis- sion, as nearly evervbody in that historic town has a personal interest in the old cemetery. ‘Webster-Street Bridge Unsafe., OAKLAND, Carn, Dec. 7.—C. H. Tebbs, on behalf of the Alameda Electric road, reported tn the Supervisors this morning that the Webster-street bridge is in a dan- gerous condition. The joists, he declared, are so rotten tiat nails driven into them will net hold. He desired immediate ac- tion, as the present condition is very dan- gerous, and the matter was referred to the District Attorney to report on the powers of the board in the premises. Acme Club i ntertains. OAKLAND, CarL., Dec. 7.—The annual entertainment of the Acme Club was given to-night. Many members of the Olympic Club gave their services and the large audience was regaled with a feally first-class entertainment. One of the most striking numbers on the programme was a pantomim ¢ specta- cle entitled “A Dream in Fairyland,” given by the pupiis of Carro True Board- man.

Mary’s and Santa Clara colleges. These two teams will meet next Saturday at Central Park. This will be the first occasion on which these collezes have met on the gridiron, and as great rivalry exists between the students, there is every promise of a very exciting zame.

Hood, Left Halfback. both teams are numerous and will be se- lected at the end of the week. They have been in constant training and practice the past two months under the careful direc- tion of their coaches, and are now both anxiously awaiting for the battle. “The enthusiasm of the students and their friends,” said Manager Greeley to- day, “*has reached a fever height. and a scene similar to .Thanksgiving day ma be expected by the spectators. The col- lege cries and songs will not be lacking, if ractice can so prophesy. The alumni of oth institutions will attend in a body to cheer on to success their youthful snc- cessors.

Applicants were re- quested to present themselves this morn- ing at Mr. Good’s office. Several ladies applied for the position, and a gentleman came over from San Francisco in the nterest of a friend, and | all’ made known their mission to Mr. Good.

Car, Dec. 7.—The nolice were called last night to investigate a burgiary case. Officer Schuner responded and was told that the servant at the Kim- ball residence on Jackson street found a man in her room when she came in last night. An investigation has satisfied Cnief Lioyd that the burglar was a former lover of the girl, who has been writing un- pleasant letters to her of late, and that he was anxious to procure them so that she could not use them as evidence in carry- ing ou' her threat of having him arrested for aunoying her.

Francis on the Pacific Coast, aied Friday, December 4, 1896, at Pheenix, Ariz., of Brignts disease of the kidneys.

B JACKSON'S SELF-DEFENSE. Two Witnesses Who Saw Florentine Snap a Pistol at Him. Arthur Jackson’s trial for the murder of August Florentine was resumed in Judge Belcher’s coirt yesterday morning. As promised by Attorney Carroll Cook wit- nesses were offered who told of the occur- rences in Florentine's saloon at the time of the shooting. Cornelius J. Hurley related the happen- ings that led to the tragedy. He said that there was some dispute between himseif and William Troy as to the payment for some drinks, but he could not understand that Jackson was involved in the trouble. One of tae men told the other to go to a warm locality and Florentine took excep- tion to the remark, seeming to think that it had been directed towara him by Jack- son, wio was sitting on a beer keg near the door. Continuing his testimony Hurley said: “Florentine reached into a .rawer back of the bar and took outa big old-fashioned Colt'srevolver, and pointing it at Jackson, with an vath, said, ‘I have killed one man and Il kill you.” Jackson jumped off the beer keg and asked Florentine to put dewn tie pistol. Florentine lowered it below the bar, still holding it in beth bands. Suddenly he raised it and snapped it twice at Jackson. I heard the click. It didn’t go off. Ther Jackson shot Floren- tine. At the time he fired the shot Jack- son was backing out of the saloon and was near the front door.” William Troy corroborated Hurley in every important particu'ar. He said that when Florentine fell his pistol dropped under him and he sugsested to scme of the folks that it‘ought to be got out of the way. It was taken and thrown over an embankment near at hand, where it was found by the police officers. Other testimony similar to that of Hurley and Troy is expected irom a witness who will be calied to-day. Ii the lawyers can get through with their arguments the case $vill go'to the jury to-night. —————— WHO OWHNS THE HORSE? | A Fine Racer Left by a Man in Shroy- ier's Livery -table. J. B.

Footsteps Save a Butcher Carrying a Large Sum of Monev From the Same Fate. Early Sunday morning young Henry Nellman and William Harbach bad an alleged Joke plaved on them that is not laid down in accordance with the rules of Hoyle. They were held up by footpads | on Green street, between Poweil and Stockton, and Harbach was pretty roughly handled. The two young men had just left the Green-streel Exchange, kept by Louis Strohl on the corner oi Green and Poweil, and were going townward for a meal. Midway in the block they were held up by two men and ordered to throw up their bands. Nellman quickly turned and ran back to the saloon, but Harbach was seized and roughly used. During the struggle in the darkness, the gas lamp near by having been extinguished, Le was badly choked and bad his jacket torn off. The footpads secured 50 cents. Thouzh Harbach did not know his assailants' names, he recog- nized them as two Barbary Coass roughs. When they learned this they accompa- nied him back tothe saloon and treated the matter -as a huge joke, usinz the 50 cents in ordering drinks for the four. They also pretended to be partly intoxi- cated, and one brandished a revolver sev~ eral times. Both used -very rough lan- guage. The same two men lay in wait near the Green-street stables for George Faber, a batcher, who hiad $375 on his person at the time. The men were prevented from robbery in this instance by taking fright at the footsteps of a pedestrian. They evidently -knew that Faber was in the habit of carrying considerable money and learned his pathway home. Deteciives Si'vey and Egan are now searching for the footpads und self-styled jokers, and if caught it will go hard with them. They have so fer eluded detection. ———— The Kremlin at Moscow contains the crowns of Poland and all the other king- doms and principalities which Russia has overthrown.
