It is stated on very good authority that a proposition has been made to give up tie Cleveland franchise and transfer the piayersto this city. Itisreported thatthe public of Cieveland take very little in- terest in baseball and the maintenance of a team there is a very expensive luxary. Of course there are many cranks who fight the plan of giving up the nine, and they make all kinds of rash promises to keep np the interestif the baseball managers will only retmin the franchise. The base- ball cranks are eager over the prospect of getting the Cleveland players, and they are holding out all kinds of inducemenia for them to come. e AR Corbett Anxious to Fight, NEW YORK, N. Y., May 25.—An in- reporter: I think Corbett will fight some of the other heavy-weights if Fitzsimmons persists in not giving him another chance at him. Corbett is worth about $50,000 and does not need to fight. He wants, however, to get another crack at Fitz. simmons, and may meet the winner of the Sharkey-Maher fight.” Apropos of this it was learned to-day that Corbett would consent to meet Maher or Sharkey in a twenty-round bout at the San Francisco Atbletic Club next fall. itagen b Field Day at Santa Fosva.

WATER RUSHES THROUGH A TOWN One Hundred and Twenty Homes Washed Away by the Break rg of a Leves at E/ Faso, EL PASO, Tex., May 25.—At 1 o’clock this morning the ievee broke and the flood of waters of the Rio Grande rushed through the town. The river had reached its highest point since 1891. One hundred and twenty homes were washed away and the homeless ones are living in railroad boxcars. The people residing in the lower part are moving to the foothills. Several hundred families are now housed in freightcars standing in two or ihree feet of water. Shoald the impro- vised levee break to-night the water will flood the business vortion of the city. The ringing of the firenell when the levee broke this morning alone saved the lives of hundreds of sleeving people. e BENNETT RETURNS TO NEW YORK. 1t Is BSaid the Herald Proprietor Will Mare Some (honges. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 25—James | Gordon Bennmett, proprietor of the New York Herald, is once more in New York after an absence of four years. For a number of years he has resided in Paris. His last visit to the United States was in 1893. Since he lelt New York the mag- nificent building occupied by the Heraid has been built, and to-day he saw it for the first time and made a trip through it. He has little 1o say as to the real object of his visit, and whether it will result in changes in' the personnel of the Herald, but il is rumored that new blood is to b introduced into the paper. s o Eelease of the Anarchi: PITTSBURG, Pa., May 25.—Carl Nold and Henry Bauer, accomplices of Berk- man in the shooting in 1892 of H.

JOHN PETTEE, President of the Eureka Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Which Will Give an Entertainment to Take Place To-Morrow Evening at DOG POISONER ABROAD AGAIN {Several Canines Killed in the Business District, Columbus J. Mogan Loses His Valuable Chesapeake Bay Dog “Hip. A Reward Offered for the Arrest and Conviction of the Man Who Did the Deed. The dog-poisoner is abroad again, deal- | ing out death to canine pets, and this time | he has chosen the business portion of the | City as his stamping ground. A great many merchants and their employes take their bunting does to tneir stores, and ‘within the last week three of these have been kilied by poison on Battery and San- some streets. The latest victim of the rascal was Columbus J. Mogan’s handsome Chesa- peake Bay dog, “Hip,” who, from his affectionate disposition and fond ness of playing with all who made overtures of friend-hip *o him, was well known in the business quarter. Mr. Mogan is employed by Rinaldo Bros. & Co. at 300 Batiery street and Hip was a familiar sight about the neighbor- hood of Sacramento and Battery streets carrying an advertisement of the firm that had been constructed particularly for his use, in his mouth. The dog followed his master to work for the last time on Saturday. He was ob- served playing with a man a short dis tance from the store and a little later came back apparently in good spirits. In about an hour Hip began to show signs of distress, and suspecting, from the experience of other owners, that the dog had swallowed poison, Mr. Mogin pro- cured remedies at once and tried io save nis favorite’s life. The fatal drug had obtained too strong ahold on the dog’s vitals, however, and late in the afternoon he went to the happy hunting grounds. Mr. Mogan was d:vided between sorrow and anger, but the latter prevailed and he bas begun a systematic search for the man whodid the das:ardly work. O.her owners who are mourning the loss of their dogs have been consulted and as a result of the conference $5) reward will be paid zny one who brings evidence enough to vro- cure the arresi and conviction of the p oner. The loss of Mr. Mogan's Chesa- peake has had the effect of keeping valu- able dogs out of the stores of merchants in that vicinity and in their kennels at home. Hip was a thoroughly trained duck dog and in addition was a pbench show winner, having taken a prize at last year’s Kennel Club exhibition. His owner would not have sold him for $100 and feels his loss | keenly. Mr. Mozan is an_ enthusiastic yachts- man and had intended to forego his trip to Vallejo with the Corinthians on Sun- day as a result of his sorrow and is wisn- ing now that he had. While the anchor on the Elia was beinz hoisted on board the fluke pinned his left leg against the bulwarks of the boat, injuring him so that he has been com pelled to walk with a cane ever since.

The Fire Department Committee of the Board of Bupervisors took up the bid of J. McCarthy for shoeing the horses of the Fire Department yesterday. A communication from the Fire Com- missioners was read in which the state- ment was made that the department was entirely satisied with the manner in which ‘the work was being done by the Ppresent contractor. G Chief Sullivan stated that he was satis- fied that the work was all right and that $2 50 per horse J’" month was as low as the work could be performed and well done. He stated that a few animals might be done for $2 in a satisfactory manner, but that no man could care for the entire department in the manner re- quired at that price. McCarthy was present and stated that he could and would do the work in a saiis- factory manner at $2 per horse. He ad- mitted that his price was sometimes | hizher and that he generaily charged as much as he thought he cou:d get. The whole matier was piaced on file. ——— THE CORIME OF FORGERY. A Sharper Muy Avoid Punishment If He Knows the Law. The Supreme Court has reversed the judgment of the lower conrt in the case of Jobn Lundin, who was sentenced to serve four years’ imprisonment in San Quentin for the crime of forgery, committed in this City in December, 1895. To the informa- tion the defendant pleaded “not guilty, once in jeopardy and former acquittal.”” As stated, he was found guilty., The Su- preme Court says “Under the previous rulings of this court we are_compelled to say the evidence was insuflicient to war- rant a conviction.” It goes on to say: In People vs. Whiteman, 114 Cal. 338, a case involviug a like question, the court speaking through Temple, J., sald: “There is 1o evi- dence that the persons by whom the checks purported to be drawn were real persous and none that, if they were real persons, defend- ant was’ not suthorized to use their | name. * * * To prove that anm accused per- son signed the name of the name of another | 10 an {nstrument snd thathe passed such in- | strument as genuine does not prove the com- | missicn of the crime. 1t must still be shown thatitwas a false instrument and thisis not proven-unt:l it is shown that the person who signed another’s name did so without author- ity. Until this proof is made it is not shown 1o be a false Instrument and the defendant is not put to his proof at all.” The Supreme Court said that the lower court’s instructions contained a clear expo- sition oi the law, but that the jury failed to be governed by those instructions in ren- dering their verdict. For this reason a new trial was ordered. TRINITY'S ~ GRADUATION, Orations, Gocd Music and an Evening P easing ito a Large Audienca. R v. Dr. Spalding Presented With a Warm Testimonial by ths Alumni.

There Will Be Thirty-Two Events and a Novelty Needle Contest. The Entire Proceeds Will Bs Devoted to the Burns Monument Fund, A joint meeting of the games committee of the Caledonian Club and the Burns monument committee was held in Scot- tish Hall Jast night to make final arrange- ments for the annual games of the club, to be held at Shell Mound Park on Saturday. The proceeds of the annual gathering will be entirely devoted to the Burns mona- ment fund. A proof copy of the programme of thirty-two events was submitted and adopted, but it was decided ir aadition to introduce a noveity in the shape of a needle game. The modus operandi of the needle game is as follows: .The contestants will be in pairs, & lady and gentleman. The iady will stand at a certain distance from the gentleman, the former having a needle in hier hand and the latter a piece of sewing- thread. The lady ata given signal will run toward the gentleman and hand him the needle; he threads the needle and hands it to ber and she sews three atitches in the lapel of his coat and runs the re- mainder of the distance. The pair going through he performance in the least time will win the first prize. About $3000 in pr:zes will be distributed, and contestants are expected from allover the State, from the Easc and from British Columbia. Everythimg has been done by the officers of the ciub and the games committee, in view of the worthy ohject to which the proceeds will be devoted, to make the annual gathering more than usually attractive, and an immense crowd is confidently expected on the grounds on Saturday. One of the most attractive features will be the Burns cottage, which will contain relics of tue bard kindly loaned for the occasion by the owners. There will be more than the usual num- ber of pipers, and Chief D. R. McNeil and his able officers promise a stirring and en- joyable time to all wno attend the games.

A WHEELMAN'S AVENUE, The Putting In Condition of First Ave- nue Opens a New Thoroughfare to the Park. First avenue, after years of delay, is now being put in first-class condition from the Presidio Reservation to the Golden Gate Park. With the exception of the block from Jackson to Washington, which is being paved with basait blocks, the remainder of the avennue, between the two points of the reservation and the park, is being bituminized and macadam:zed in first- class condition. This avenue lilis e long-felt want between those two pleasure grounds. Now that the roadway and side- walks are being put in order the wheel- men bave shown their appreciation of the improvement by the constant use they are making of the roadway. In addition to tbis, several new build- ings sre in course of construction, which, with other improvements, are making the Richmond district quite a settlement. The contemplated removal of the City Cemetery, on the western slope of the hill, facing the Richmond district, meets with the unanimous appruval of the property- owners of this section. The Point Lobos Improvement Club, that has been instru- ‘mental in advancing the interest of this district, heartily approves of the move- ment to close this cemetery. Therefore, it remains to be seen that the Supervisois will at no distant day be urged to pass the necessary ordinance preventing further interments in that place. GAY WHOLESALERS.
