THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1896, GEARY STREET NEXT IN LINE The Round-Headed Cobbles of Pioneer Memory to Be Removed. Bitumen and Concrete to Be Laid From Kearny to Stockton. Property-Owners Are Ashamed of the | Street’s Condition and Business Men Are Growling. Geary street, from Kearny to Stockton, | willin the near future put on a modern surface of concrete and bitumen. The old | round-headed cobbles that have done ser: vice since the fall of 49 and the spring of | ’50 are to be torn up and dumped into the | bay to make foundation for the seawall. | The new and elegant building now 1n | course of construction at the southeast | corner of Geary and Stockton streets by | the Spring Valley Water Company, with the furniture-store alongside of it, on the | site made holy by the old Starr King | church, has brought that portion of Geary | street into prominence as a business sec- | tion, and this prominence demands the | removal of the crude pioneer pavement put down at & time in the history of San Francisco so remote that the musty vol- umes in the Pioneer Library would have to be consulted as to the exact date when the round stones were buried in the sands. To have those objectionable rocks re- | moved and 8 modern pavement substi- | tuted originated in the mind of Sam Sachs, one of San Francisco’s native sons, who | has more than a passing pride in the future | of his native City. This young man con- | sulted t:e other property-owners and from | them obtained an expression of opinion as | te the advisability of bringing Geary street into touch with the other live business streets of the City. The response which he met justified his fullest expectations, and now the fiat has{ been issued that this street must be made | one of t: e best in the lower portion of the City and that it must be smoothly paved and lighted up with arc lamps, which will | at once bring it into prominence. Since the removal of the objectiona- | ble class of tenants that occupied Morton | street it is said that some large buildings will be erected on the north side of Geary, west of Grant avenue, in the near future. The following are the names of the | propertv-owners. on Geary street, be. tween Kearny and Stockton: Estate of T. Adams and M. Kibbe, the Blythe es- | te, Jeanne de St. Marie, Louis Breck, Davis Brothers, 1. Levy, N. Luning estate, F. H. Woods, A. Mecartney, W. H.| Young, Louis Miller, David Farquharson, | Humboldt Savings and Loan Society, the | Sharon Trust Company, C. H. Meyer, | Eliza Kavanagh, S. Clayburgh, T. B. and | L. B. Joseph, Whitney Estate Company, | Works, Maria | . Martin O’Dea, | 3 aron and F. G. New- L. Sachs, Mrs.. Charles H. Lea- | 3. Simon, F. Phillips, Marion Leven- tritt and P. Marsicano. ineaapgt e HAYES STREET WILL JOIN. The Merchants Have Almost Se- cured the Necessary Funds. Hayes street isnot going to remain in | the dark while the neighboring business streets are being illuminated by arc lights. The prime mover in the getting up of | subscriptions by which electric lights wiil be swung over the center of this street from Larkin to Laguna is Chris C. Rivers, the proprietor of a grocery-store, who on consultation with the principal business people found no difficulty in get- ting liberal aid for the object intended. The storekeepers further west as far as ‘Webster street are talking about joining the movement and have the lights ex- tended to that point. It 1s caiculated to have the lamps in place and the current turned on by New Year's eve.

The Chinese Iottery,ticket case was on hearing yesterday before United States District Judge Morrow. In July Collector Jobn H. Wise seized a large quantity of lottery ticket blanks and District Attorney Foote brought an action to have the paper condemned and destroyed, claiming that it 1s not. lawful to import such stuff into the United States. When the case was heard before Comniissioner Heacock, it was shown that the blanks were not lot- tery tickets, but that the Chinese charac- ters thereon were sacred songs. The same line of evidence was prmnuu‘ | looting the plumbing-shop of A. Reth, 938 | | restraint. It was the opinion at the jail ! received 5000 iecture programmes are to vesterday betore Judge Morrow. Gong Ting, Harry Huff and D. D. Jones testi- fied that the papers were not lottery tick- ets and would not be until the name of the lotterv company is placed on the papers. At present they are in reality only lottery blanks containing only sacred songs. The Government did not put on any witnesses to show that the blanks are lottery tickets, and Judge Morrow took the case under advisement, intimat- ing, however, that he wouid be liable to decree against Collector Wise. POISON IN THE TIN. G. P. Goff Died From the Effects of a Small Cut From an Oyster- Can. George P. Goff, who had a law office at 430 Kearny street and resided at 207 Lar- kin street, died late Sunday under pecu liar circumstances. It was blood poison- ing caused by asmall cut from the sharp edge of an oyster-can. On the 14th inst. Goff opened a can of oysters and in doing so he inflictea a slight cut in his hand. No attention was paia to the injury unti! the next day, when the hand began to swell and be very painful. On the sec- ond day the swelling had spread to the entire arm and Dr. L. C. Cox was called. He saw at once that it was a serious case of blood poisoning. Mr. Goff sank rap- idly and finally died. Deceased was a half-brother to Harry N. Morse, the local detective. He was a native of New York and 70 years of age. Years ago he was in charge of the Con- gregational book bindery of that city. Since then he has resided in San Fran- cisco, some six years. PHELAN 1S NOT INSANE Unsuccess{ul Attempt to Save a Notorious Burglar From Justice. He Had Been Feigning Insanity and the Commissioners Decided He Was All Right Mentally. An unsuccessful attempt was made yes- terday to save Robert Phelan, a notorious burglar, from being punished for his crimes on the ground that he is insane. Phelan is a plumber by occupation, but instead of earning an honest livelihood at his trade he preferred a life of crime. He was arrested on October 21 by Police- men Ryan and O’'Dea on two charges of burglary. One was for breaking into Southern Pacific plumbing-shops and stealing a lot of tools and the other for Howard street. Subsequently Ryan and O'Dea found that he had also broken into the millinery store of Miss Ida O’Counor, 36 Geary | street, and stolen about $900 worth of | stock. ~ He also entered a plumbing-shop n.the same bluck, besides stealing the | carpets from the vacant nouses on Morton street and other places. He went around dressed as a plumber, and carried a set of tools with him. He was suspected, along with anotber man named -Burke, of getting into vecant | houses on the pretense of being sent to do some plumbing work, and stealing all the lead pive, faucets and other material. A few weeks ago he was held to answer before the Superior Court on two charges of burglary, the one for bresking into Roth’s shop, and the other for breaking | into Miss Connor’s store. Last Friday he was arraigned in the Superior Court on the Roth charge. There are two prior felony convictions against him, and a fong term in San Quentin is before him. Since being in the County Jail awaiting his trial he bas been acting strangely. At first he was surly in his manner, and | finally became so violent as to require that he was feigning insanity to escape punishment, and a close watch was kept upon him. Baturday morning his father, Patrick Phelan, 16 Clair street, swore out a war- rant charging hum with insanity, so that| he couida be taken before the Insanity Commissioners. The police were noufied and preparations were made to have overwhelming evidence brought to prove that Phelan was perfectly sane. Yesterday morning Phelan was brought from the County Jail to the Receiving Hospital by Deputy Sheriff Usner, and an hour or two later was taken before the Commissioners. After hearing the evi- dence the Commissioners remanded Phelan into the custody of the Sheriff and be was taken back to the jail to await his trial on the burglary charges. ———————— Send It to Your Friends.

A series of lectures on “Socialism and Labor’’ has been arranged by the propa- ganda of the Socialist Labor party, to be delivered at the Turk-street Temple dur- ing the next three months. Some of the most prominent citizens in the State bave been invited to expound their views on the questions of socialism and political economy and their relation to the people and the Government of the United States. After a careful canvass of names sub- mitted as lecturers, Secretary Theodore Lynch was instructed to invite the foliow- ing speakers to name the dates upon which they can conveniently appear, and when such list is complete and answers be printed for general circulation. Some of those whose names appear have formally accepted and are now awaiting dates upon which they will speak. Those invited are: Rev. P. C. Yorke, Rabbi Nieto, Rev. J. E. Scott, Rev. Philip O’Ryan, Rev. S. Goodenough, Rabbi Levy, Professor Bernard Moses of the State University, Professor H, H. Powers of Stanford University, Professor Annie Caroline Smith of Stanford University, Professor H. H. Markbam, Hon. Frank J. MAYOR SUTRO WAS WRATHFUL Supervisors Call Him to Order for His Ut- terances. The Row Was Over the Location of the Pssthouse on the Almshouse Tract. Surveyor Tilten Will Get His Money for the New City Map in Spite of Opposition: Mayor Sutro and the Board of Supervi- sors had a wordy war yesterday after- noon which threatened fora time to ter- minate in a riot. The chief executive hammered his gavel until the walls sent the echo back, the Supervisors howled themselves hoarse and even the policeman who guards the outer portal awgke from his reverie and pre- pared his handcuffs and club for action. The row started when a motion was made empowering the board to erect a Pesthouse on the Almshouse tract, to be furnished and ready for occupancy before the lepers were moved into it. 2 The Mayor had stood the acceptance of the city map without a murmur beyond a mild remonstrance, but this was too much for him. “This is a criminal and unwarranted proceeding,” he shouted, rising in his chair. ““There is no appropriation for this pur- pose,” interjected Supervisor Taylor, “‘we should lexve it to our successors.’ Supervisor Dimond took a hand at this juncture and declared the present Pest- house to be a crving shame on the com- munity. A motion to postpone was lost by a vote of 9 to 2. Then the Mayor again arose in his might. Collis P. Huntington is a corrupt man,” he said, **and he has fostered and incited this action. He is a corrupt man and a criminal.” ““Order, order,” yelled Supervisor Hobbs and Supervisor Wagner added still further to the confusion by admonishiug the Mayor not to speak from the chair, but to give it up to some one else and talk from the floor. The Mayor would not he put off, how- ever, and went on to say that Hunting- ton’s hirelings had startea the idea of se{ecting the Pesthouse site to spite him- self. Supervisor Hobbs again called the Mayor to order, and while the din was at its height the motion was carried by the votes of Supervisors King, Scully, Ben- jamin, Hirsch, D -mond, Hughes, Dunker, Morganstern and Wagner. The Mayor made a fight against the Enymemo! the requisition for the new ity map on the ground thatit had been found faunlty by the experts employed to examine it. He declared that the map would be the basis of the surveys of City property for years to come and that it should not be accepted and paid for until it was shown to be correct. He declared that be had not been noti- fied thar the matter was under considera- | tion ana that the people had not been al- lowed proper representation. Supervisor Dimond declared that the Mayor’s statements were unfounded and that all concerned had been allowea a fair hearing. He thought that it was more unfair to the maker of the map to keep him out of Lis money after the work was finished. “The investigation has been thorough,’”’ he said, *‘and it is time the money was paid.” A motion to postpone for three days was lost by a vote of 10 to 2, and the requi- sition was passed over the Mayor’s veto by a unanimous vote. Previous to the discussion, protests against the acceptance of the map were received from the following and referred to the street committee: The Grand Jury, Shainwald, Buckbee & Co., Bovee, Toy & Sontag, A. J. Rich & Co., Thomas Magee & Sons, G. A. Umbsen, M. Cooney, Ed- wards Publishing Company, F. W. Me- Ewen, Samuel Bloom and C. D. Salfield. The request of the Board of Health to have the ordinance againgt expectoration on the public sidewalks and in the public streetcars and buildings created a discus- sion. Supervisor Dimond remarked that the Heaith Department would probably want $30,000 additional to Turnish places for cuspidor 'inspectors. He thought the measure absurd. After Supervisor Taylor had hazarded something about the ladies wearing shorter skirts if the order was not passed Super- visor Hughes said that perhaps the Board of Health would be able to furnish compe- tent skirt inspectors. The order was passed to print, SBupervisor Dimond giving notice of reconsideration. y Tke ordinance against pool-selling out- side of the confines of racetracks was finally pussed. in spite of the opposition of Supervisor Wagner. No one paid any par- ticular notice to the order when it was read by the clerk, and the Mayor declared it finally disposed of. Later Mr. Wagner wanted it laid over for one wéek, but Supervisor Benjamin declared that it was too late, and a motion by Supervisor Benjamin to indefinitely postpone recon8iderztion was carried; by the following vote: Benjamin, Dimond, Hughes, Taylor, Morganstern, Spreckels and Hobbs. The noes were King, Scully, Hirsch, Dunker and Wagner. i g STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Muraskey, Hon. James G. Maguire, James Andrew, Professor J. N. Beard, Hon. 1.V, Cator, Taylor Rogers, Dr. Jerome Ander- son, Austin Lewis, Dr. J. D. Brock and Gavin McNab. The branch also approved of a chairman to presice at next Wednesday night's meeting in the temple, which will be ad- dressed by "Rev. J. E. Scott. His subject will be ““The Basic Principles of Social- ism.” The public wiil be admitted free to the entire course of lectures, which prom- ises to be a symposium of the views of some of the foremost thinkers of the State. The Bakers’and Confectioners’ Unions Nos. 24 and 25, have made arrangements for their eieventh anniversary ball, which will be given at the Turk-street Temple on the night of December 26. TO PREVENT A DOG-FIGHT. Humane Soclety Officers May Make a Trip to Baden. A dog-fight is planned to take place to- night at Baden in a factory. Some large and ferocious dogs have been secured. The owners of these dogs have expressed the belief that no one will interfere with them, but Secretary Holbrook of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals talkea over the matter with the officers of the society yesterday. What they will do is not made public, but it was intimated last night that a raid was intended if the sports were determined to give the exhibition. ————— ASTHMA cure guaranteed, Dr. Gord’son Chocolate Emulsion, 221 Davis, S.F.Cal. $1a bot. 6-85,sam 5¢ Review of the Work In the Depart- ment as Considered by the Board.

Dr. Abernethy’s Advice About How to Go Through the Winter. “Keep the stomach warm and you can- not only defy dyspepsia but go through the severest winter without any danger of catching cold.”” It was Dr. Abernethy, the mlebyntod English physician, who once gave this ad- vice to a wealthy patient. He was right. Itis a well-known fact that cold has a way of findinz out the weak spots in the body and suddenly attacking them. It generally strikes first at the stomach, which is a very sensitive place. It next affects the circulation and makes the blood course feebly tnrough the veins. That is why people who catch cold have aches and pains, lose their appetite and suffer from indigestion. The way to prevent colds is to keep the stomach warm and the blood movinz rap- idly by the regular use of a pure stimu- lant. Something should be taken to tone up the system and fortify it against the weakening effects of cold weather. qu this purpose nothing is better than Duffy’s pure mal: whiskey, which is.rencwnegl'lor its stimulating, strengthening qualities. Thousands of men and women who use this whiskey are enabled to escape the dangers of coids, coughs, chills, grip and pneumonia. It frequently happens that unscrupulous dealers attempt to substi- tute some inferior imitation which they claim is *just like'’ or ‘‘as good as’ Duffy’s pure malt. There is, however, nothing that can possibly take its place. AD. KOCOUR, FASHIONABLE FURRIER.
