THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, N TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1897. GAUNT HUNGER y HELD IN CHECK Los Angeles Workingmen Need No Longer Be Idle. Given a Chance to Earn Enough to Replenish Empty Larders. Labor on Park Improvements for a Remuneration of a Dollar a Day. LOS ANGELES, Ciar., March 8.—One | hundred brightsilver dollars weredropped Into the pockets of an equal number of Jaborers at Klysian Park The recipients had worked faithtully all day on a roadway in the park. They were the first to be employed from the army of idle men now in this ecity. The coin received is from the fund raised for the purpose by the Merchants’ and Manuiacturers’ Association. Ar- rangements have been made to pay these laborers at the close of each day’s work. The men put at work to-day are bona- tide residents of this city, and most of | em have families. To-morrow the force 1 be increased to 200 and the day after | to 300, and so on until every man here who wants to work at §1 a day need not beiale. Nearly all of those who answered the call went to the scene of their labors on foot. It was a long walk for many of them, but they did not grumbie. The opportunity to earn §1 a day was a suf- ficient incentive to pur them 1nto a cheer- ful frame of mind. When they reached their destination there were no tools in sihgt, so the gang had to wait untit the arrival of Charles Wilde with the supply of shovels and picks. The plan of the un- | dertaking had been laid out by the en- ] gineers and surveyors and the stakes were all in place, showing the {ine of road, so ! there but little delay 'when the *‘im- plements of warfare’” were delivered. When ev hing was in readiness the B e | CRAZED BY UNREQUITED LOVE. Sad Story of a Folish Nobleman's Daugh- | ter Whose Affections Were Bes owed Unwisely.

Wed Few Animals Left in the Herds That Fre- quent Santa Barbara | Channel. LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 8.—Ac- cording to authentic reports from Santa Baibara if Uncle Sam wants to protect the seals of his own coast he had better turn his attention to the Santa Barbara | Channel, where during the past few weeks | probably 3000 of these valuable animals ave been killed.

As a consequence it must be a very cold night when damage is done to berries on that vine. - Owner of Fandsburg Mines. LOS ANGELES, CAL., March 8.—The St. Elmo Mining and Water Company was incorporated for $2,500.000 to-day, with $759,500 subscribed.

BTOCKTON, Can, March 8 — Judge ’ this evemng. | | commenting on | birds. Rendon to-day decided that keno games might be conducted in Stockton where no percentage 1s taken out. A test case was made by arrest.ng W. O. Harlin, who, last week, started the game in this city. Keno games wiil now be started 1n nearly all the other saloons in the city. They take out no percentage, but count on receipts at the bar to pay for the troubleof run- { ning the game. el s KOT A FUNSOUS GROWTH. An Expert Accounts for a Peculiar Dis- coloration in Certain Oranges. LOS ANGELES, Can, March 8.—Po- mona and Ontario orange-zrowers have promulgated a new theory regarding the so-called fungous growth which has been seen on oranges and lemons occasionally and regarding which the San Francisco Examiner started an abortive sensation. ‘ew people had paid any attention to the growth until the papers called attention toit, and then it was found to be a cer- | tain -marking on fruit which had been lknuwn for years, but which had never done anything more serious than to con- | demn a few oranges and lemons to the cull pile. Since the Examiner developed its sensa- tion, D. J. Coudry, an orange-buyer for the Earl Fruit Compeny, who isone of | the best-informed men in this section re- | garding oranges, has been giving con- | siderable attention to the growth, and he | zives it as his opinion that itisnot of a | fungous nature, butis due to the effects of | the gas usea in the fumigation of trees. He say | the skin of the fruit the gas produces a | discqloration, and that is ail there is to | the fungous growth sensation. He can find | the peculiar markings on the fruit no- where but in orchards where the trees have been thoroughly fumigated, and there the percentage of the fruit SLowing the so-called fungus is very small, and the markings indicated an abrasion before the discoloration took place. RIOTING CEUR D’'ALENE MINERS. Trouble Between Catholics and American Protective Association Members Renewed. SPOKANE, Wasn.,, March 8.—The re- ligious war that has been waged between miners in the Cceur d’Alene for years past was given a fresh impetus yesierday by an occurrelce that threatens to lead to the shedding of blood. At a recent enter- tainmenc at Wardner, Miss Johnson, & schoolteacher, in an address made an at- tack on Catholics. In last week’s issue of the Wardner Citizen Editor C. R. Buuris, her utterances, made some severe strictures upon Miss John- son’s personal character. merican Protective Association mem- bers to the number of 150 met yesterday and a committee of five was appointed to bring Burris before the meeting. He was dragged from his office through the streets to the place of meeting. A stormy dis- cussion ensued as to what to do with Burris. Some favored a coat of tar and feathers, but the majority wanted to hang bim. ally, after a strong appeal from the leader of the secret organization to not commit murder, a motion to run Burris out of town prevailed. He was es. corted from tie place by a mob. Late to-day warrants were issued for | the arrest of eight ringleaders on a charge of conspiracy and inciting riot. Sheriff Henri and five deputies have started to the mines to make arrests. Grave appre- hension is felt at Wardner as to the out- come of the trouble, as the feeling runs bigh. —_— SAUSALITO’S PECULIAE CASE. Novel Defense Put Forward by a Man Charged With Crime. SAUSALITO, CaL.,- March 8.—There was qu:te a collection of amimals in the Recorder’s court in Sausalito to-day dur- ing the progress of the case of the people against J. Christensen, charged with ap- lving vulgar lacguage to Mrs. Lucy ouza. A novel defense was offered when Chris- tensen, who held a large gunnysack in his hand, and said that the vulgar term which he used was the name of the black cat he had in the bag. His Honor, Judge Pryor, drew back in horror when Christensen offered to produce the animal, and two dogs lying on the floor left the courtroom in disgust at having been cheated out'of a scrap. Christensen is also accused of spitting at Mrs. Souza’s feet. Christensen put his son and little daugh- ter on the witness-stand to prove that the vile name was that which the family regu- larly applied to the cat. Judge Pryor failed to see the matter in that light and Christensen was found guilty, with orders to appear for sentence to-morrow at 10 o’clock. ——— RUSH 710 THE XUKON, Hundreds of Miners Will Leave Seattls Durina ths Month.

Salvable Took the Gunst Stake From Cash Day Eased Up to a Walk. Sweet William Cantered In—Thorpe Landed David First Ahead of Sum- mertime and Midlight. The Emeryville track reopened yester- day with only an ordinary-sized crowd in attendance, the fair sex especially being very sparsely represented in the grand stand. The track was very muddy and_ owners indulged in liberal scratching. Backers of favorites can travel on velvet for some time, as four heavily played choices traveled in before their fields. The Gunst selling stake, worth $1200 to the winning horse, a% a mile and a six- teenth, proved a very tame affair. The original number of entries simmered down to a field of four, with Pat Dunne’s handy horse Efalvable going into the starter’s hands a 9 to 10 choice, Cash Day was con- sidered the contending horse and was heavily backed at twos and 8 to 5. It was a‘one-hor:e race. H. Martin on the favor- ite was allowed to make his own running and the son of Salvator won easing up in 1:5034. Cash Day beat Salvation several lengths for the place. Lovdal never had a chance. Bookmaker Barney Schreiber’s recent purchase, Sweet William, was a 7 to 5 fa- vorite for the first event decided, a six- furlong selling dash for three-year-olds, and the mudlark laid all over the field, winning in a common gallop from Alta- max, the §econd choice. Siegfried, away from the post poorly, finished in ihe show. Another favorite finished in the two- year-old scramble at three and a half fur- longs. St. Philip, at 7 105 throughout the betting, led from the time the barrier flew up, downing Jim Brownell with ease. Swanhilda, a hot tip, backed from 100 down to 10, was a good third. Charley Thorpe again showed to good advantage in the mile and a furlone sell- ing affair that was next called. He had tke mount on Ezell’s Morte Fons2, a 16 to 5chance in the betting, and hooking up with Perseus, ridden by Piggott, the last furlong he got his mount past the judzes half a lengtb in front of Purser’s gelding. Can’t Dance, backed from twosdown to6 1o 5 favoritism, came from behind, finishing third, Doctor G made the running to the streteh, where he fell back beaten. The fifth race was over a mile under selling conditions with Atkin & Lottridge’s Double Quick ruling a 6 to 5 favorite. Coilins, Ransom, Frank Jaubert and Judge Denny ull came in for considerable support. The lirst choice took the lead after half the distance had been covered, and although stopving badly the last six- teenth was given the decision over Judge Denny by a narrow margin. Collins ran a remarkably good race, being beaten buta short head for the place. The presence of such fast ones as Sum- mertime, David and Midlight in the final six-furlong sprint scared out. the greater portion of the other entries. The handi- cappers, almost to a unit, landed on Mid- light with 98 pounds up and Tod Sloan in the saddle, backing the filly down from 8to5 to4to5 Opening at twos, Sum- mertime receded in the books until5to1 was obtainable. Two to one was nearly Iways obtainable against David. When @ent away, Tnorpe on the latter at once Sent his Lorse to the front, and by tne Sime the siretch was reached ne had Mid- tight short of ready breathing material. 1fe then went on and. won cleverly from Summertime, which beat the tiring favor- ite for the place. e L el NOTES. The number of pencilers laying odds was reduced o sixteen yesterday. - George Rose was represented by but one book. Jobn Humphrey was chalking up prices for the first time in some weeks. Cella and Sippy, the St. Loais turlmen, have played in very hard luck here this winter with their horses. On several occa- sions horses owned by the firm have been headed out at the wire, and yesterday Siegiried, which started in the last race and looked to have nrognl chance, man- aged to get away from the post last of his field. . Lost Girl has been sick, which accounted for her rather indifferent showing in the opening event. She, however, wiil bear watching next time out. The tip on Swanbilda was a very hot one, the odds being pounded down from 100 to 10 to 1. Had Tommy Butier been posted as the rider the bookmakers would nfobnbly still be taking inoney on the filly. It was given out previous to the two- year-old race that Midglen was possessed of more speed than Hermoso, owned by the same stable. [f this really be the case, why, Midglen is a good name to spike to the wall. - Charley Thorpe and Morte Fonse are a great team. Were the chestnut with Charley up to start in the Suburban he would receive backing from Californians. The judges were probably correct, but from some portions of the press stand it looked very much as though Judge Denny downed Double Quick quite half a length. As good as 7 10 5 was at one time obtain- able against Salvable, OWing to_the press- ure of Cash Day coin, that made that horse a momentary favorite. The “Handy Handicapper,” a very use- ful little sheet to race=goers, made its first appearance yesterday, and contains much valuable information in the way of help- ing to pick the winning horses. Frank Jaubert was touted about consid- erably yesterday, but J. Shields had an attack of webbing-fright and the horse cut no figure. A 2 1t was rumored that Summertime wa short, wnich accounted for her odds re- ceding in the betting. She will be bard to beat next time out if such was the case.

Letters lelt by her expl that she was melancholy and did not care to prolong a life which she considered a hard one for her to endure. Although but 23 years of age at the time of her death, she had been married sev- eral years, had experienced marital un- happiness, and during the Ilast four months had, after her return from the Last, taken up her residence in this City entirely away and apart from her hus- band. A servant in the poarding-house discov- ered the odor of gas issuing from Mrs, Mann’s room, to which the unhappy woman had retired as usual the evening before. An immediate investigation dis- closed the fact that the case was one for prompt medical attention, and the patrol wag n was hastity summoned, but she died before the hospital was reached. David Mann, the woman’s husband, is well known in Oakland, where he has been a resident for a number of years. His domestic troubles have been known to his friends for some time, and they have !ooked upon him with & good deal of sympathy. Mann is employed at Abrahamson’s dry- goods store, and his employers give him an exceptionally good name. He is sdid to be industrious, steady and energetic, and a valuable employe. Mr. Mann married wken his wife was quite young, and for the first few years their united life was a very happy one. Mrs. Mann was decidedly attractive and some years ago became discontented. She preferred company and the giddy whirl of society to home life, and as her husband is of a domestic nature they dis- agreed. She began to receive attention from others, and then there was an unpleasant | expose, and Mann sent her Eastto her parents. |~ Mrs. Mann returned from ths East about four months ago, bat she did not rejoin { ber husband in Oakland.

Came Very Near Investing His All in a Mine That Was Rich Oaly in Iron Pyrites. Frank Emmons of Port Costa is thank- ing his lucky stars that he consulted a compelent assayer before he invested his all in a mining claim at Randsburg, the present Mecca of the prospectors. Emmons owns a prosperous grocery and liquor-store at Port Costa, but wealth aid not accumulate fagt enough for bim and he caught the goid fever. The reports of rich strikes at Rundsburg fired his ambi- tion to become a bonanza king, and he gathered together $1000 and started south. Rich mines abounded there, to be sure, but they were not for sale atany figure that Emmons could reach, so_he started out to discover something of his own. His funds grew lower and lower and he was about cleaned out, when one day while exploring a rocky hillside he came across a ledge that made his eyes glisten. The rock seemed to fairly teem” with gold and he hastily located a’claim. By the time he had filed his location his cash was almost gone and he was at a loss to find out how to get more.
