ITCHING HUMORS “eiivn Rt DR, STAHLE AT LAST INDICTED Two Counts Against the Former Superintendent of the Hospital. Committee on Corporations De- clare That the Water Rates Are Too High. Resolutions Adopted Expressing the Jury’s Admiratien of Crowley’s Char.ct r and S:rvices. The Grand Jury yesterday afternoon de- cided 10 indict Dr. F. H. Stahle, former superintendent of the City and County Hospital, on two counts, and the District Attorney was requested to prepare the documents. The indictment will prob- ably be presented to the court next Fri- day unless the greatest pressure is brought to bear to obtain a reconsideration of the vote and a reopening of the case. Oneof the witnesses heard yesteraay afternoon was James Slattery, the owner of the team which bhauled articles of fur- niture from the officers’ quarters of tne City and County Hospital to Dr. Stahle's residence, John P. Jordan, a dealer in carpets and furniture, also testified. After the hearing of the witnesses the jury excluded Assistant District Attorney Hosmer and discussed the subject. mer and Walter N. Brunt, chairman of the Committee on Health Depariment, Almshouse and Hospitals, went to the District Attorney’s office to excmine the papers in the Stahle case. The committee on corporations (H. W. Hannemann, chairman), presented the tollowing report, which was adopted : BAN FRANCIsco, April 9, 1897. To the Honorable Grand Jury of the City_and County of San Francisco—GENTLEMEN: Your commitiee, 10 whom was referred the matter of water rates, beg leave to repor: The president of the Spring Valley Water Compauy, upon wnom we called for informa- tion which would enable us to make an in- telligent report based upon facts, received us courteously, and, upon stating the object of , he declined to furnish_such detailed tsof the businessof the water com- in the matter of expenditures and re- cipts as we needed in order to form an opin- ion as to whether the eXisting Water rates i be reduced and be just to the compan The president ciaimed it as the right of the CcOmpauy, &5 & corporarion responsible 1o its owners and stocknolders, ke public its business interests. The matterof rate: ow being investigated by the Board of Supervisors, who are searshing for such facts as will enable them to fix a just rate for the company and the ratepayers, in wh h there is always more or less conflict of oring Valley Water Company demand an income irom the Clty suflicient to cover operating expenses, which they report amounting to $394,012 08 for the year 189 t upon bonded indebtedness of £9, of 6 per cent on entire capital stock. We have no report from the company of the amount of revenue received {rom the City for water during 1896, but the fact that such in- ation is wituheld is significant. e water-meter charges in San Francfsc & population of 350,060, ranges from 2 wit ut daily consump:ion is reported by the company as 21,000,000 gailons. The ennual operating expenses are about $394,000.

In the other.five cities the rate is less than one-half of that oi New York. In all the cities named (ne water works are owned and operated by the city Mayor Strong of New York City, referring to the Depart iic Works, makes the followin the Bureau of the Water “‘or the fizst time in the history of the city the revenue collected last year from water rents was more than enough o reimburse city for the entire outlay of the Department Public Works, which is taken from taxatiot. To express it in another way, our water rents paid for road pavements, sireet ighting, care of and repairs to the entire water system, care of and repairs to public buildings, salaries, wages and 1l other administrative expenses. The editor of Outlook, New ingon the above report, : “These as ishiug financial Tesulis were nchieved in spite of water rents lower than those of neighboring towns sunplied by private compenies. Indeed, it had seemed to us probable that part of the expenses of the Water Department was borne by general taxation. Instead, however, of the taxpayers being burdened {0 make water cheap in the homes and business establish- menss, the latter are paying not only for the water they use, but &iso for that used by the public in the streets, the parks and the public buildings, and finally, for all the expenses of his late of Pub- report from egisier ; street lighting and paving and the care of ana repairs to all public buildings. The profit to the taxpuyers {rom the public ownership of the water works is almost without parailel The “Tayor may well speak of the manag ment of the Department of Public Works as ‘clean, honest.and intelligent.’ " The report of the Water Department of Chi- caco for 1896 shows that the taxpayers of that city as profiting almost as largely as those of Neiv York from their ownership of the water works. In brief the report reads as follow: Receipt .. $3,226,000 Operating expenses 485,00 Net earnings. 52,941,000 The investment in Chicago water works, ac- cording to the New York Sun, is $28,000,000.

The investment, large as it is, has certainly been & most profitable on: The above statement of comparative water , obtained from the most reliable sources, sent u very strong argument in favor of ownership by the City of 118 waler works, and Warranis your committee in the belief that the existing rates are excessive and should be reduced, and we most respectfully submit the same for consideration by your honorable body. with the recommendation that such re- duciion in rates may be made for the relief of toe City and its Tatepayers as may seem just and wise. Respectlully submitted H. W. HANNEMANN, A. & HUBBARD, A. E. BUCKINGHAM. Resolutions expressing the Grand Jury’s appreciation of the services rendered by Patrick Crowley, Chief ot Police, retired, | were adopted. — 1 Diamond Breastpin Lost.

ESDAY, APRIL 14 L 1897 A Party of Miners and Traders DELMAS WINS A VITAL POINT At Last the Craven Suits |Captain Will Come to Trial. No Special Panel for the Battle Over the Fair Estats Millions. All of the R:al Estate, Except That Claimed by Mrs. Craven, Ordered Distributed. Monday morning will see the opening of the trial of the suit of the Fair eatate against Mrs, Craven. After weeks of en- deavor D. M. Delmas has at last won his point and secured the trial of the case be- fore & jury. A month ago Mr. Delmas offered to | | make aimost any concession to the other side provided no opposition to an imme- diate trial was interposed, but delay was | what the other side wanted, and another month was added to the dreary wait. Now the trial is imminent, and, instead of securing the concessions Mr. Delmas | offered for & speedy trial, the attorneys for the estate will have to come into court anyway with no other satisfaction than that of having compelied every one to be idle for at least four weeks longer than was necessary. On Monday Judge Slack declared that he desired the assistance of a jury in pass ing on the issues of fact. When that was made known Attorney | Pierson suggested that be thought what is known as a “siruck” jury would be the proper tribunal to consider this weighty matter. He explained that in another forum the Judge chose forty-eight names of prominent business men, who were known to bave good judgment, and names were stricken from the list, first by one side and then by the other, until only three names remained. He thought a similar course would yield satisfactory re- sults in this case. To this D. M. Delmas, representing Mrs. Craven, made objection, s he did not wish any jury of m lionaires. He read an article from the American | Law Journal, which expressed condemna- tion of a certain law in allows & rich man to put up $75a week in advance and secure the impanelment of what is called a “‘business man's jury,” to be composed of “downtown merchants and their clerks and bookkeepers.” Judge Slack accepted the viewsof Mr. Delmas in tbis respect, and yesterday worning, in making the order for a jury, said: *“The panel now in attendance in this court will be excused from further at- tendance, and the cferk is directed to issue certificates of service to them. A new panel of 150 names will be drawn at once, and I direct the drawing to be made at noon to - morrow. The names must be drawn from the box of jurors designated by al! the Judges of the Superior Court, as required by iaw. 1fa proper jury shouid not be secured in this way the blame falls on | the law, not on this court. Iknow of no reason why an appropriate jury may not be obtained in this way. It was ordered that the panel should be made returnable on Friday morning and that the trial of the case should begin at 11 o’clock next Monday morning, the 19:th inst. The motion to dismiss the jurors already on the panel was made on the ground that Mr. Delmas’ remarks a month ago were of such a character as to warp the minds of the men impaneled. On tha occasion Mr. Delmas made a strong plea for a trial, and then it was he offered to concede his rights as to argument, to procedure, to almost anything, if the other side would only quit skirmishingand come down to business, His desire for a trial was as evident as the reluctance of his opponents, and as the panel of jury- men sat and listened to itall the attorneys for the estate feared the situation might work to their disadvantage, and so the. asked that the jurors be dismissed. It was notcomplimentary to the intelligence of the jurors concerned, but they could n{ nothing, and can only console them- selves by realizing whatthey have escaped. Attorney Brittain, representing the of fice of Delmas & Shortridge, stated to t court that the application to take the deposition of Attorney Charles S. Wheeler would be temporarily withdrawn, with- out prejudice 1o the right to renew the application t take Mr. Wheeler's depo- sition before the court or a notary public, This was allowed. The distribution of real estate to the heirs of James G. Fair was then proceeded with. All'the real estate, with the excep- tion of the two parcels of land claimed by Mrs. Craven, was ordered distributed directly to Mrs, Oclricns, Charles L. Fair and Virginia Fair. Thisis following ont the principle laid down in Judge Stack’s opinion heretofore rendered, in which the Prnunded trust attempted to be estub- ished in the will of James G. Fair was declared invalid.

Wood Thinks He Spoke Her. She Was Then Disabled With Not a Stitch of Canvas on the Main. | A Company of Miners and Traders Is About to Purchase Schooner Winchester. the Negotiations for the purchase of the | smart schooner Winchester by the body of men who are to make a prospecting ana trading cruise to Alaska have aimost been completed. It is the intention to make the party not less than thirty nor more than fifty, and of this number twenty-five have already signed the articles of agree- ment. Each memberis to put up $200, and the crmise is to last six months. Pro- visions to last nine months will be taken, | and a large quantity of trade wilt also be stowed in the hold. The latter will con- sist mainly of trinkets, bright dress goods, flour, sugar and arms and ammunition. To show what confidence 1s feit in the venture’by business men, J. F. Cunning- ham, managing owner of the Winchester, has taken several shares and will send out | at least two men to go prospectine on his account. Me McNevin and Newman, who are handling the venture, and a dele- gation of prospectors went over to Oak- land Creek to look at the Winchester yes- terday, and they were so pleased with the handsome craft that the chances are the purchase will be completed to-day. In some quarters there are grave fears for the American sbio Samaria, now out twenty-five days from Seattle, while in others every confidence is expressed that she will finally reach pori. One man hold- ing to the latter belief is Captain McLeod of the Rafus E. Wood, which made the trip from Nanaimo, B. C., in eleven days. Yesterday Captain McLeod was discuss- ing tbhe matter with Donald Ross and others and gave his reason for his belief as follows: “Exactly twelve days ago this morn- ing,”" said he, “I was 180 miles off the mouth of the Columbia River.”” [The Rufus E. Wood reached this port on the 10th inst.] “‘Hull down, behind us 1 could see a ship without a stitch of canvas on her main, and only the light sails on her fore and mizzen. She was heading for the river, and I came to the conclusion that | the mainmast was sprune and that the captain was afraid of carrying sail even in the light breeze for fear of doing more damage. Late in the afternoon the ship { put about.and took up the same course I | was steering. The Wood had every stitch of canyas sef, and it was not long before the other vessel was out of sight. From that time to port we had light winds and calms, and the same kind of weather has vrevailed ever since. While I am not sure thatit was the Samaria I sighted, still I haye no hesitation in saying that 1 think | she will reach port in a disabled condi- | tion.” John A.

WAS STRUCK BY A STREETCAR It Seemed to Go Like a Bullet Out of a : Gun. Edward L. Levey, an 0'd Ex- pressman, Knocked From His Wagon. No Bell Was Rung, He Declares, and No Warning of the Impending Danger Was G.ven The damage case of Edward L. Levey | against the Market-street Railway Com- pany was on trial in Judge Banrs’ court yesterday. Mr. Levey is an expressman by occnpa- tion. last December a car belonging to the de- fendant company crashed into his wagon while he was trying to cross Mission street, near Erie, not far from the old Woodward | !2(he left exr, Gardens property. Because of the col- lision he received severe injuries, and con- sequently demands $50,000 damages. Samuel M. Shortridge, attorney for the plaintiff, made a brief siatement to the jury in regard to the facts involved in the case. He saia that Mr. Levey was in the ordinary discharge of his duties and that he expected to prove the collision com- plained of resulted from the carelessness of the employes of the railway company; that while Mr. Levey was drivingin a proper way the car dashed on him, threw him from his wagon and permanently in- jured him; that the car was goin at & higher rate of speed thuan is allowed by law; that no bell was rung and no warn- ing was given in order that the plaintiff might have protected himseif. The injuries are so serious that he will not be avle to properly attend to his busi- ness again. Mr. Levey gave a graphic account of the accident. He said he was driving along, and, before turning his team, looked both ways to see if any car was coming. He saw no car and straightened his horses out to get across the track, when he heard some shouts by people on the street, and the next instant he was flying through the air. He was knocked so far that he ‘was unconscious when he fell. There was a curvein the track, and the car turning round it came toward him like a bullet out of a gun. That was the only way in which he could explain the fact that he could not see the car just before it struck him. Some question was made by Attorney Charles Ackerman on behali of the railway company in regard to the ability of the plaintiff to see what was going on around him, considering tne fact that Mr. Levey's wagon had a cover on it. In re. ply Mr. Levey explained that the oilcloth flaps of the cover were rolled up and tied on both sides to the stanchions; that they | did not interfere with his view in driving. Mr. Ackerman insisted that with the side covers in that condition the plaint:ff could not see the track twenty feet back of him. The reply of Mr. Levey caused a smile to flit across the countenances of the jurors, for he limyly said, *'I was not looking for the track, I was looking for ihe car.” Still Mr. Ackerman was not satisfied He thought that the plaintiff could see th NEW TO-DAY.

Dr. Frederick W. Harris testified to the painful character of the injuries. The in- dications were that the brain and the spinal cord had been injured. He could not de- tect any permanent injury at the present time, but the patient is constantly com- piaining of his sufferings. J. Booker, a glassworker, testified that he saw the accident. He was on the car that struck the old man’s wagon. He thought the collision occurred some dis- tance from the spot describel by the plaintiff, and it became necessary to go with the jurors, lawyers, witness and ali to the scene of the catastrophe, court still being in session. In his testimonv Mr. Booker said the car which struck Mr. Levey’s wagon was going at a high rate of speed and be heard no bells ringing, nor did he note any other warnings.
