THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1896. / A HARDSOME | NEW BUILDING The Spreckels Market Will Open Up for Inspection : To-Day. A: Fine Model of Neatness and Elegance in Every Detail. The Old Bijou Theater Gives Place " ."ito a Largs and Costly 3] Structure. The new Spreckels market opens up for inspection this afternoon and evening, and to-morrow the tenants of this new and-handsome place on Market street, di- rectly opposite Grant avenue, will begin business. The market was especially fittéd up for its present occupants, who are amoug the more prominent merchants in this City. * No expense has been spared by Claus Bpreckels, the owner of the building, to make the establishment one of the pretti- | est marketing places of modern architec- turé in all the country. Elaborate prep- irations have been made by the various fcpartments for the occasion, and thke { stalls have been dressed in most becoming style. A special feature of this new and com- mbodious market is the long and broad aisle measuring 16 leet in width running thropgh the entire length of the market. In tue rear of each stall there is an ele- vater running down to the basement, by means of which goods are conveyed to the lower floor and thence to the street, which does away with the necessity of running trucks through the market and incon- veniencing customers by the unnecessary hustling about of clerks. Each branch of business requiring it is provided with a refrigerator. The massive snow-white macble counters throughout are a feature particularly worthy of men- tion, lending as they do to the complete- ness in_appearance of the finish of the place. Dauring the daytime the market is lighted by an expensive skylicht and at night a succession ot incandesent and arc lights throughout the buildlng set off the interior in most artistic style. The sanitary arrangements of the insti- tution have been carefully supervised by the most skilled mechanics in that line. Among the new tenants of the market will be the following well-known merchants: Hammond & Brod, meats, fresh and wholesale and retail; C. M. Foster fruits and produce; Richard Tiddy, pouliry and game; A. W. Fink, butter, eggs and provisions; A. Paladini, fish, salt and fresh; Bayle, Lscosie & Co., tripe, brains, etc.; Briare & Kenny, cafe and oyster parlors; William 8. Hawley, coffee, All of these enterprising firms are nown leaders in their respective and wiil no doubt maka the Spreck- els market at once universally popular and successful. The Tile Flooring. The artistic tiled floor of the aisle of the new market, running the entire length. of | the building, from street to street, was by Mangram & Otter, incorporated, w Monigomery strest, and is a ire of the artistic arrangements of the | new building. It is of a white and gray- ish tint. Mr. Mangrum, president ot the firm of Mangrum & Otter, incorporated, personally superiniended the construc- n of the tiled floor, and it is conceded 1l who have seen the work that it is one of the finest things of its sortin this city. [he tiles measure from two to four inches square and are inlaid on a concrete foundation. A floor of this character is admirably adapted to a marketing place, on account of its neatness and cleanliness in appearance and the ease in keeping it orderly. This style of tiling, which is artistic, neat and very substantial, is being! largely used by Mangrum & Otter in most all of tne large bnildings recently con- structed in this City as_a pavement for the ballways. It is also now being largely introduced into the arrangement of the bathrooms as well 2s the entrances 10 private dwellings. The Refrigerating Plant. As with all of the arrangements in this new market, no pains or expense have been spared in making the cooling-rooms as’perfect in their way as possible. Itis certainly the most modern of any on this coast. The reirigerating plant is the M. Ditlenberg type, made by the Cyclops Iron Works. While there are several makes of these plants, many of them very good, but 0 complicated as to require the constant attgntion of skiiled labor, this machine was selected by Hammond & Brod on ac- count of its simplicity of construction and ease of operation. Butchers will appre- ciate this fact, as the majority of them cannot afford to hire engineers. That Hammond & Brod were weil pleased with one of these machines of smaller size which they had in use about five years is proven “by the fact that they again se- fcczed this make of larger capacity in preference to all othe: The Butchers’ Department. The largest department in the new mar- ket is occupied by the butcher. This de- partment is under the management of Hammond & Brod, the well-known and reliable wholesale and retail butchers,who for the past eighteen years have been lo- cated at 33-35 Fourth street. No more popular and reliable firm in all this Uity cetild bave been selected 1o fill the batcher department than Hammona & Brod. The trade of this firm is of the highest charac- ter. They supply the majority of the ex- clusive families of this City, while most 0§ the weli-known downtown restaurants come to them for their choice cuts. The meats are stall fed; they are fine in fiber, juicy and appetizing; they excel in healthful qualities, Being especially pre- pared to cater for fine trade the meats of this firm are necessarily of the choicest lity. qu’lghe’synt.em these butchers have adopted for storing their meats is modern in every detail. From the Stevensou-street en- trance of the market meats are conveyed by an overhead trolley. They are con- veyed over this sysiem of trolley to the butcher-stand, where they are receivec and dispersed to the various depariments and hung tier over tieron a succession of siéel books. Mr. Hamniond, the senior member of the firra. isa merchant of much prominence. Besides being president of the Butchers' Board of Trade he has quite fréquently figured promizently belore l,he‘ public in various ways. He is a num1 od great executive ability, which, couple with the support of his fellow-butchers, has brought to the front the Buichers Board of Trade. Dairy Produce Department. A. W. Fink, one of the oldest wholesale and reiail dealers in dairy produce in this City, occupies an extensive and band- somely arranged stall in the new Spreckels market. In the selection of a geueral produce dealer to fill this department in the new market, no better choice could have been | i ll h i I i The New Spreckels Market Recently Erected on the Site of the OId Bijou Theater. made than the well-known, enterpri: and reliable merchant, A. W. Fink. His reputsation extends far and wide and his patrons are confined mostly to those of select class, Mr. Fink has occupied a department in the Washington market for the past twenty-five years, where he has dealt ex- tensively, as is well known by almost every housewife in the City, in butter, eggs, cheese, honey, olives and fish. He is also agent for the famous D. D. Wilder's creamery butter. As well as catering largely to hotels, not alone in this City, but all over the country, his trade extends even to the other continent, where he has on his books as customers the Hongkong Club at Hongkong and the Grant Hotel in Yokohama. Mr. Fink, although now occupying an extensive department in the new Spreck- els market, will also retain his old place in the Washington market. The necessity | of another branch to his line of business { by reason of his constant increase of trade | became evident some time ago, but owing to the inability in securing an appropri- ate place has until now been almost im- possible, and it will be with much sagis- faction that Mr. Fink’s many-customers will learn of the fact that he has estab- lisned a branch in a more central part of town. Davidson & Miller. The entire second floor of the new build- ing will bz occupied by the well-known tirm of Davidson & Miller, the wholesale manufacturers of ladies’ and children’s cloaks and suits. No firm in all the country enjoys a wider and better reputation as the manu- facturer, and, in fact, almost the only manufacturer of up-ro-date styles in their particular line of goods. Owing to the constantly increasing trade of Davidson & Miller, the firm has found it necessary 10 extend their workshops and salesrooms to much greater proportions than their present premises at 121 Post street per- mirt of. In the new Spreckels building the en- tire floor which they are to occupy meas- ures 60x165 feet. The reception-rooms, the salesrooms, the workshop and every other department in their new bome will be arranged most artistically, with every attention being paid to modern architec- ture. Mr. Miller, the senior member of the firm, has been a resident of this City for over twenty-three years. He w=ss at one time connected with the old California Cloak Company, and since then hé has formed the partnership in the above firm. Restaurant and Grillroom, The restaurant and grillroom of the New Spreckels Market will be conducted by Briare & Kenny. Mr. Briare is well known on the Pacific Coast, more partic- ularly so, however, in hotel circles, having been connected at various times with many of the prominent caravansaries throughout the State. Mr. Jobn Kenny was for many years prominently identitied in the liquor business in this city, and will serve only the finest hquorsin the restaurant. In point ofsartistic arrange- ment and modern design the restaurant and grillroom are not 10 be surpassed in the Siate. On the lower floor is the gen- tleman’s grillroom, the bar and cafe. There is also a stool lunch counter and an extensive department for the sale of oysters. An elaborate oak stairway leads 10 the upper floor, where therc are two handsomely arranged 1adies’ dining- rooms elegantly finished in oak, a ladies’ parior and a number of small dining- rooms separated from the other parlors by richly draped portieres. The market build- ing will be open at nicht times to give access to the grill and re:taurant which undoubtedly will be well patronized. Poultry and Game. The second department from the Mar- ket-street door in the east wing of the new Spreckels market will be occupied by Rich- ard Tiddy, the well-known and reliable poultry and game man, who has occupied stalls in the Bay City Market for the past fifteen years. The reputation this gentle- man has gained for the fine quality of the poultry and game that he handles is too well known to require any extended com- mendation. His patrons are among the most select society of this Lity, while he caters also largely to the hotels and restaurants. 1t is safe to state that the extent of Mr. Tiddy's business is probably larger than any other dealer in pounltry and game in San Francieco. The reputation that this gentieman bears for his honesty-and in- tegrity has been the result of years of catering to the public, who have learned to appreciate that when they want the best that the market affordsin poultry and game Mr. Richard Tiddy is the mar- ketman that bandles it. Besidesselling at retail he sells largeiy to the trade. The Fish Department. A. Paladini, probably the oldest whole- sale and retail fish-dealer in this City, will occupy the fish department in the new market. Mr. Paladini has been in the fish businesse in San Francisco for the past twenty-seven years. He numbers among bis customers all the principal hotels and boarding-houses in town, as wu a8 cater ng | ing almost to the exclusion of any other fish-dealer to the steamship trade in this harbor. Besides the new branch in the Spreckels Market, Mr. Paladini will_retain his stalls in the new Washington Market and the San Francisco Market. His object 1n es- | tablishing a branch in the new uptown market has been for the purpose of having a branch in a more centrally located part of the City for the convenience of his | many patrons. Mr. Paladini has his own | line of fishing-boats which he operates. | | An Important Department. | Perbaps the most satisfactory way to | establish the quality of an article is to | give the public a practical demonstration | of its merit. This, of course, can only be | done where the goods can stand such a | test. In iliustration of this idea William i S. Hawley, formerly with Siegel, Cooper & Co. of Chicago, has opened an elegant the purpose of exhibiting and selling Hills Bros.” ‘*Arabian Roast,” tue coffee | that received -nine gold medals at the Midwinter Fair. *‘Mexomoka” ' is also handled by the exhibitor and served for sample. Brown’s Celery Phosphate, the great nerve, blood and brain tonic, is anotbher feature handled by thisconcern and served 1o sample. Hilis' coffee and Brown’s Celery Phos- phate are articles too well known to re- quire any commendation. Fruits and Produce, C. M. Foster, the well-known and old- time merchant of this City, will occupy the fruit and produce department in the new market. For the past twelve years Mr. Foster has catered to the most select trade in the old Center Market, at the corner of Sutter street and Grant avenue. Many of the old customers of this popular merchant will be pleased to hear that he has once again started up in business after a temporary suspension of a few months. Bayle, Lacoste & Co. The department for the sale of tripe, brains, sweetbreads, etc., will be occupied by the well-known firm of Bayle, Lacoste & Co. This firm is the only wholesale dealer in this particular line of goods on the coast and as a natural conseguence do an enormous busitess in their line. Be- sides their geveral branches in this City they have agencies in Alameda County. They are extensive shippers of goods all over the world. TWO-YEAR-OLD STAKE EVENTS.

An Early Morning Raid That Developed Some Startling Features. The Present System Is Not Satisfac- tory to the Larger Dairy- Owaners, A raid made early yesterday morning by the Food and Milk Inspector of the Board of Health, assisted by a number of subor- dinates, developed the fact that the new inspection stations established by the Health Department are a failure as far as milk is concerned. and th:at in order to in- sure pure milk for the City some vther scheme must be devised. Attorney J. B. Reinstein, who, assisted by the ¥ood and Milk Inspector, planned the stations and their methods of opera- tion, did not go deep enough into the sub- ject to figure on what might happen to milk between the time when it left the station and when it was delivered to ous- tomers, That it might easily be adulterated at the first horsetrough after getting out of sight of the station was called to the at- tention of the board, bui the plans mapped out were adhered to. To see how well its expensive stations were doing the work for which they were designed, the board ordered the inspector out yesterday morning and about sixty loads of milk that had been passed at the stations were stood up and examined. The inspection was not confined to any oune locality, and the result was far from assuring to the board. Wagons were stopved in the Mission, on Kearny street and North Beach, and 1n each case sus- picious milk was found. In one case, a wagon from the Pioneer dairy, the Health Department employes were 80 certain that the miik was adulter- ated that they dumped twenty-tive zallons into the street. A warrant will be sworn out for the members of the firm of Kav- anaugh & Co., owners of the dairy, and an attempt made to have the license of the concern revoked. Baven other samples were taken, and in case close analysis shows aduliteration warrants will be served on the firms in- volved. A well-known dairyman, who has $40,- 000 invested in the business and who for obvious reasons did not desire his name used, said yesterday that the present sys- tem of milk inspection was a farce. *This Board of Health has made a great fuss over its milk inspection system,” he said, “when, as a matter of fact, it 1s a failure, and this morning’s raid shows it to be such. What is to vrevent a driver from taking his load to the station, get- ting a nice little card showing that his ilk is all right and then going around the corner and putting in as much water as he wants? “Those who have big money in the busi- ness and are looking for reputation want to see some kind of an efficient inspection sysiem, not such as is now used. “This raid ot the inspectors demon- strates either that the inspection stations are useless, because impure milk is allowed to pass, or that the system is wrong, be- cause it allows drivers to aduiterate milk before it is delivered to customers.” e It Smashed a Window. J. A Hudson, 40 years of age, who gives his ocenpation as a horseman, threw arock ata large plateglass window in the Cale Royal, Fourth and Market streets, early yesterday moruing, smashing it in piecer. = He was arrested by Policeman Beach on the cha-ge of \icious mischief. Yesterday morning he apperred in Judre Low’s court #nd the case was continued until to-day. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. STREETS WILL B AS LIGHT AS DAY The Leading Thoroughfares Have the Improving Spirit. Business Men Are Moving for Material Benefits and Will Have Them. Kearny, Powell and Larkin Streets and Montgomery Avenue Raise the B:nner of Progress. The spirit of improvement is: abroad. The merchants and property-owners are vying with each other in the matter of getting their respective thoroughfares into fine shape, first lighting and then preparing to pave. Since the pioneer movement on Polk street has accomplished so much in this line, other business streets have followed, and now the public are made aware that Larkin, Ninth, Filimore, Sixth, Fourth, Kearny, BStockton, Powell streets and Montgomery avenue have all joined in the cyclone of progress and improvements by a general illumination of their thor- oughfares and a determination to have better streets, better stores, and, in brief, to have a general street-cleaning and a wiping away of accumnlated drowsiness and lethargy which had been permitted to overshadow the City too long. The hotel-keepers and business men on Powell street, from Market to Geary, have also caught the influence of the progressive wave and are now taking steps to bring this portion into the van of improvement by taking the initiative ‘of forming a Powell-street club. . The prime movers in this scheme are J. J. Gottlob and 8. H. Friedlander of the Columbia Theater, Haub Brothers, Royal Eagle Distillery Company, Columbia Woolen Mills, Green Brothers, W. H. Harrison, Hilbert Brothers, M. A. Steen, Ortion & Gerharat, B. M. Stichmore, Golden West Hotel and the proprietors of toe Baldwin. With those names as promoters others cheerfully acquiesced on short notice until the proposition assumed a business shape which will be carried into practical opera- tion within a few days. The objects of the promoters are that Powell street on the blocks covered by the prospectus shall assume a business aspect and be liberally illuminateda by arc lights. The members of the Larkin-street Im- provement Club met at 1017 Larkin street, President Dr. E. E. Hill in the chair. Nathar Bibo and Secreiary Dross from the Polk-street Club were present by invi- tation, and expressed their views and promised the hearty co-operation of their club with the Larkin-street improvement as now contemplated. W. T. Kibbler, J. 8. Jacobs, C. A. Bantel, the committee on lights, reported that they appeared before the Street Committee of the Supervisors and presented a joint petition with the Polk-street Club for the privilege of put- ting up poles on the streets mentioned, by which the Mutual Light Company might be permitted to compeie with other light supplying companies. The president appointed W. T. Kibbler, Oscar_Moses, M. Stern, K. F. Harris and C. 8. Jacobs on the executive committee. Messrs. Maggarts and Riding made a strong plea for the removal of all wooden sidewalks on Larkin street. F. F. Harris stated that in an interview with Greer Harrison of the Lurline Baths that gentleman assured the club of his hearty co-operation of the improvement and would, he thought, have the rights extended as far as Bush street. The contemplated lighting of Kearny street has taken a new turn, and instead of its end being at Broadway a change has been made by the urgent request of the business people on Montgomery avenae from Kearny to Green street. In order to afford thisextension the pro- moters of the Kearny-street improvement scheme have called a halt in opening the illumination, which was intended to be held on to-morrow evenin -, until Satur- day, the 18iL. On this day the Grand Lodge of Masons will lay the foundation sione for the new Hall of Justice on Kearny street. This, with the grand demonstration at night, will mark this day as one of considerable note in the minds of those participating in the cere- monies. Enthusiasm increases in the Stockton- etreet Improvement Club as the day for its electric light celebration approaches. At a meeting held last evening at 1408 Stockton street the light committee re- ported that arrangements with the Mer- chants’ Association had been completed and the street would be lighted from Pa- cific to Green, adistance of three blocks, with seven lights suspended in the center of the thoroughfare. The undertakin: will be completed on the 19:h inst., and in the evening a demonstration will be held. The canvassing committee reported suc- cess in obtaining subscriptions, and after soma discussion it was decided to make the club’s members, forty-seven in num- ber, a committee to solicit subscriptions. The fact that three lights more are neces- sary to briliiantly light the street, seven not being sufficient, led up to the consoli- dation of the club as a soliciting commit- tee., Considerable money to purchase fireworks, procure bands and decorate the buildings on the Initiation of the new light system was procured, and all are anxious for the evening of the 19th to come round, that they may see the result of their labor of weeks. EXPLORED RUSSIAN WILDS The Country Along the Great Siber an Road Rich in All Kinds of Minerals. D. V. Ivanov and Peter Kulatuhof, members of the Russia: Geological Sur- vey, who have been for along time past examining iu a scientific way into the mineral resources of Siberia along the route of the Great Siberian Railroad, arrived here yesterday on their way to St. Petersburg. They traveled a vast distance of moun- tain region. Their duty was to explore the country for 100 miles on the strip along which the road runsor is surveyed, 80 as to get a good idea of what the coun- try afforded. “We found it a wonderful country, both in point of scenery and in its resources of gold, silver, copper, lead, coal and other minerals,” said one of the gentlemen. “It was all that we could have desired. We collected many specimens of different kinds of ore, which we are taking back with us to St. Petersburg. “‘Besides the minerals there mous areas of magnificent agr lands, available chiefly for growing wheat, oats, barley and cther cereals and vegetables. The great rivers of the coun- try afford fine ovbportunities for com- mercial development. ‘It has a thousand interests that can only be alluded to.” Tne Russian explorers will probably remain here but a few days. — Not & Barmaid. James Luey, proprietor of the grocery-store and saloon at the corner of Harriett and Bry- ant streets, where his sister, Miss Kate Lucy, was slightly wounded in the face by a shot from arevolver fired by Matthew Burke, &s- serted that his sister is not a barmaid and was not employed at the plase. According to Mr. Lucy’s statement his sister had just brought in hissupper from 821 Bryant street, and was requested to stay behind the counter aminute while he stepped out on an errand. It wasduring this brief attendance that the shooting scene occured. THE HUDELSON LIBEL. The Defendant Gives His Testimony as to Woodworth’s Proposed Mining Deal. The hearing of the libel suit against ‘Benjamin F. Hudelson, which was contin- ued in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday afternoon, attracted a large audience, among them being several ladies. The proceedings were enliyened by re- peated interchanges of a personal charac- ter between the atiorney for the defendant and D. B. Woodworth, the complaining witness, and at one time the defendant asked the protection of the court from Woodworth’s slanderous allusions and, looking at Woodworth, told him signifi- cantly that if they were made on the street he would know how to protect him- self. Rev. Donald M. Ross was an inter- ested spectator and repeatedly whispered in Woodworth’s ear. The defendant took the stand and con- tinued his testimony. At the second in- terview he bad with Woodworth and Rev. D. M. Ross, on March 31, one of them suggested that defendants should take an interest in the mining ‘property. Wood- worth did not -have the report with him, but brought it next day. It confirmed suspicions that defendant had formed, and he told Woodworth it was strange that he shou!d come to him asking for §55,000 on such a mining propertv. Woodworth replied that he and Ross had been:corre- sponding about it, ana Ross had told him he could get the money without any trouble. Woodworth expatiated on -what he had done in Canada as a political leader and manipulator, and how easy it was to get money: from men who had golilienl aspirations, such as John D. preckels. . Defendant said to him, **Do you expect me to go to Joan D. Spreckels and prom- ise him the support of the American Pro- tective Association in coneideration of Lis buying this mining property 2’ and Wood- worth said ‘‘yes.”” Defendant said he would do nothing of ttie” kind, and told Woodworth he should have no trouble in disnosing of the property to mining men. ‘Finally Woodworth, who appeared to be very nervous, lefr the report to be type- written, and after his departure defendant sent for M. T. Brewer and C. W. Kyle and told them of Woodworth’s proposition. Next day Woodworth called, and in Brewer's presence defendant returned him the report and said he was satisfied it was a dishonest proposition. Woodworth started to his feet and left the office. On April 3 Woodworth again called with the affidayit of H. F. Marshall, which was the first time defendant had heard of it. Woodworth spoke about being nearly 1nsane at the possibility of such a great opportunity to mase money pping through his hands, and finaily said that if defendant would goto John D. Spreckels and get $17,000 the balance could be ar- ranged, and he dictated the proposition. Defendant said, “What about that con- temptible affidavit of Marshall?” and Woodworth replied that if defendant would ecet the money from John D. Spreckels Marshall would make another afndavit that the other affigavict was false and would take the first boat going to Africa and never would be heard of again. Defendant then said it was a contemptible proposition and every man connected with it was a blackmatler. Woodworih said Owens had seen Mar- shall’s affidavit, and said it was true. De- fendant replied if Owens said so he, too, was a blackmailer. Woodworth got mad and said: “We will publish this, which will disrupt the association and ruin you and your children.” He then leit the office” and defendant had not seen him from that time till the other day, when he was with the policeman who served the warrant, ‘Woodworth commenced his cross-exam- ination of defendant, when an arzument was precipitated as to the admissibility of the defendant’s testimony taken at the trial of Rev. D. M. Ross before the judiciary board of the association, and it was not concluded when an adjournment was taken till Monday afternoon. OHEAP MEXICAN LABOBR. New Zacatecas M nes Which San ¥Fran- cisco Capitalists Are Developing. Among the arrivalsat the Palace is Juan Goldman, a leading mining man of Zaca- teras, Mexico, who is interested in large | old properties in connection with Major g&amhun ot this City and a syndicate of capitalists in the City of Mexico. ne of the mines is the San Luis del Oro, which is a well-known property in that part of Mexico. “I sold a good part of this mine some time since to Mexican capitalists,” said Mr. Goldman yesterday. ‘It is a very fine mine and worth fully $500,000, Itis producing about eighty tons of ore a day, which produce an ounce & ton in gold and about eight ounces in silver. ““We are employing a force of about 400 native miners, for whom we pay 50 cents each a day, Zacatecas has direct com- munication by rail, and the trip from San Francisco only takes iour days. “The mines we are working are only three miles from Zacatecas, a city of 60,000. The town is at an altitude of 8000 feet, and we bave some snow there. [ will be in this City two orthree weeks.’* The properties to which Mr. Goldman alluded are all quartz. ———— LET THERE BE LIGHT. Twenty Millions to Be Invested in Carrying Out That Edict. The consolidation of the biz gas and electric light companies of San Francisco has been accomplished, and the articles of incorporation were filed vesterday. The name of the new company is the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, and the capital stock is fixed at $20,000,000.
