TELEPHONE TILK 70 BE CHEAPER People’s Mutual Company Will Begin Work Early Next Month. Underground Wires Will Be Laid for City Service—Long- Distance Connections. The Ccmpetition Will Tak: Eff ct January 1, 1898 —Hostile Logis- lation Was Defeated. Active work in the construction of the lines and conduits of the People’s Mutual Telephone Company will pegin early next month. Under the terms of the franchise granted five months since the company must within one year from the date of the grant expend at least $100,00 in con- struction work, independent of the pur- chases of real estate. At the office of the company yesterday the managers stated that the requisite number of contracts had been obtained to justify the company in going ahead with the work. The franchise, which is a valuable one, giving the company the right to place conduits in any street or alley af the City, was not obtained without considerable op- position. The promoters of the new en- terprise were harassed for many months by a person who had been a jobber or broker in franchises obtained in Los An- geles and otner places. He was so per- sistent and meddlesome 1n his opposition that the impression was formed that some rival institution had hired him to ob- struct the grantof the franchise. At a time when he seemed about to accomplish his plan of obstruction, he was exposed in the Board of Supervisors by Adolph B. Spreckels, who was then chairman or the Street Committee of the board, and the franchise was obtained by the company. At Sacramento during the session of the last Legislature the same enemy of the competing company, whose plans was frustrated in San Francisco, sought to ob- tain legislation which woulda have greatly embarrassed the owners of the franchise. General Robert A. Freidrich was advisea of this persun's presence at Sacramenio and at once went before the Assembly Committee on Corporations and exposed the scheme. The resul was the defeat of the hostile design. Gen- eral Freidrich was astonished when he reached Sacramento 1o find that the ir sponsible hawker of franchises, whose lack of character and sianding in the commer- cial community bad been so thoroughly and openly exposed by Spreckels, had managed to commend him- sell to the good graces of the Sutter Club of that city. ‘When the competing line isin operation the people as well as the City will have a comparatively cheap service. Under the franchise the maximum rate which the | company can charge is $3 per month for a telephone ard 3 cents a switeh. Theold company under its iranchise is permitted to charge as high as $5 per month and 5 cents a switch, althongh a much lower rate nas been established in anticipation of competition. Under the provisions of the frarchise granted to the new company, the City is 1o have one duct or system of wires in each conduit free of charge; and more- over the company is obliged to pay the City 2 per cent of 11s gross earnings. It is required by the franchise that the com- pany must always maintain competitive service. The new line, according to the grant, must be in operation to som- extentas early as Junuary 1, 1898, So the work of building must be active from this time forward. The first work will probably be along Mission and Market streets. In order to introduce long-distance facilities and connect with other towns, particularly San Jose, with as little delay as possible, much suburban work wiil be done in putting in_poles and stringing wires. For service in San Francisco the underground | system is to be adopted. 1t is said by the management of the | company that there wiil be no trouble in securing first-class instruments and mod- ern switchboard appliances. Recently old-established companies in Eastern cities have expended as much as $100,000 each to secure all the modern improve- ments in switchboards. The appliances which the competiug company will intro- duce are to be thoroughly tested in prac- tical operation. A VARIANCE IN THEIR TALES. Bliss’ Dr, and Cleaves’ Their Trouble, In connection with the trouble between Dr. F. A. Bliss and’ M. C. Cleaves on the second floor of the Donohoe building, each man has a tale to tell, and they differ widely. Dr. Bliss says he never saw Cleaves be- fore, but being unahle to get his money for dental services rendered Cleaves’ wife, sent an attorney to him with the request that he call at the attorney’s office and settle the account. Instead of doing so Cleaves called at the dentist’s office. The latter alleges that Cieaves said h Account of of the exposure | was dissatistied with the work done ang would not pay the full amount of the bill, $27. Bliss then agreed to reduce it to $20, whereupon, he claims, Cleaves produced revolver and mane him sign a receipt for the amount in full. Then, he says, when Cleaves was leay. ing and both hands were engaged in open. ing the door, he grappled with the South. ern Pacific clerk and secured the revolver just as help arrived. Cleaves, however, states that when he refused to pay Bliss the full amount of the b:ll the dentist tried to make him do so with a revolver, and they were strugglir for the possession of it when Dr. Bell a: the janitor arrived, 5 Tie receipt, which Dr. Bliss states Cleaves dropped during the struggle, is now said to be in evidence to prove the truth ot Biiss’ assertion. SHOT AT HER HUSBAND. Mrs. Nina Powers Charged With As- i sault to Murder. Mrs. Nina Powers was arrested ear yesterday morning in a lodging-bouse at 33 Sixth street on the charge of assaul: to murder. She was taken before Judge Campbell yesterdav and the case was con- tinued till Tuesday. The Judge fixed her bonds at §1000, as he was inclined to be- lieve there was not sufficient cause for the arrest. Mrs. Powers is 27 years of age and of attractive appearance. She admitted that | sne had a quarrel with her husbaud and | that he began to abuse her, and a revolver ‘was accidentally discnarged. “About a year ago,” she said, ‘“we started west from Denver and settied first in Arizona, but may husband was not sat- isfied so we removed to San Diego. He was not successtul in securing employ- ment, so we came here and went to live at 33 Sixth street. “Day by day I saw our little money go- ing to the sharpers and I did ail I could toinduce him to reform. He promised to amend his ways, but yesterday he went out again and late last night he came bome very drunk, having spent $70. Whien Iremonstrated with him he became abusive, 100k what money he had left out | of his pocket and threw it on the floor, | Then we had a fuss, but Idid not try to shoot him.” THE TRUCKEE ANER Fsh They Will Be Piotected From Destruction B:low the Sawmills. The. Supreme Court Says That Dump. ing Sawdust in a Stream Is a Public Nuisanca. A very important decision was handed | down by the State Supreme Court yester- | day in the case against the Truckee Lum- | ber Company. For years past the Fish }CQmmis;iunen nave been doing all “in | their power to stock the streams of the | State with food and game fish. The natu- | California are numerous. Added to these are the fellows who kill fish with dyna- mite and others who take fish in and out of season without regard to the law. | Nor are these all, for the destruction of fish in streams by the pollution of the waters by decomposing sawdust, edgings and slaos ia so great that many fine trout streams are completely ruined for fishing | purposes. There is plenty of law on this subject requiring the owners of sawmi ls to d.spose of the refuse of the mills other- wise than by dumping it into the brooks and creeks; but it has seemea almost im- possible to accomplish the desired end. Among the large trout streams is the Truckee River, that rises in Lake Taboe, flows through the eastern part ot Cal fornia and empties into Pyramid Lake, in the State of Nevada. Ior years there | was no better fishing ground in the West, | for the gamey members of ihe finny tribes | had full sway in both lakes through the | river. The Truckee Lumber Company estabe | lished its_mill on the bank of the river in | Nevada County, and ran all of its refuse into the stream, completely polluting the waters and killing tish by the wholesale. The California Fiso Commissioners, thr ugh the Attorney-General’s office, de- cid®d to puta stop to this wholesale ae- struction of fish, and brought an action in | Nevada County, enjuining the company | from aumping its sawdust and other rei- | use into the Truckee River, on the ground that it was a public nuisance. It was an important question for the court to de- cide—whether the killing of fish in a fresh- water unnavigable streem could be con- strued as a public nuisance. The injunc- tion was granted, and rrom tie order for the injunction the lumber company took an appeal to the Supreme Court. The lumber compzny took the position that the reasons set forth in the com- plaint were not sufficient for a cause of action, and that under the circumstances nopublic nuisance was being committed. The Supreme Court after reviewing the case decided that the order for the perma- nent injunction should be affirmed. 'The sh Commissioners regard this asa de- cided victory, and it is likely that many similar actions will be brought in order to protect the fish in the freshwater streams now rendered positively filthy by being & pumping-ground for sawmill ——————— Three Divorces Granted.
