There are two cases of paralysis, one of chronic neuralgia aud one of cancer of the throat. The excuse piven by the board for its action is that the City and County Hospital is full to overtlowing and the Almshouse is in a like condition. An in- vestigation of the matter reveals a rather peculiar state of affairs, and it would look as if the Board of Health were using the Pesthouse as a dumping ground for in- ‘While the institution is osten- sibly to be used for patients with conta- gious diseases, it ha< been usea for the re- ceplion of those afflicted with all sorts of to consumption. As the regular nurse of the Pesthouse is now occupying the position of night watchman his place is filled by a Chinese leper, who administers to all patients alike, lepers or not, and if the disease is contagious there is danger of it spreading in the place supposed to be for the pur- pose of stopping it. The superirtendent .says that these non-contagious cases are placed there temporarily, but as one par: Iytic Chinaman has been there two years it wou!d appear that temporarily has an inde! te meaning.

After having been cheated, deserted and finally robbed, Mrs. Louise Seifert has about lost all confidence in mankind. man was when she met one of the oily tongued variety at the World’s Fair in the windy city of Chicago. Here she trusted one of the “'smooth articles” with a sun of money on his bare promise to pay her back the amount with interest. This he failed to do, buta threat to put him in him a promissory note which may or may not be good when the time comes for its redemption, Her second experience was when sie gave her hand to the fickle Henry Beifert, in Columbus, Ohio. Here Henry prom- ised to be a_model husband, but instead of this he brought her to San Francisco and there deserted her, leaving her desti- tute. Wife-like, she thought he had been robbed anda killed, and in her anxiety to recover his body she sought the aid of the police and every Sheriff in the State. In the weantime Siefert had taken the first train to Ohio, where he was located by de- tectives. Since that time Mrs, Seifert has been steady at Work trying to save a sum suffi- cient to take her to Ohio to call for an ac- counting with the deceitful Henry. With tais object in view sne advertised in the press bet willingness to accompany a lady or family East as nurse or attendant. In response to this advertisement, a man called upon her at her rooms, stating that his wife had died a few months pre- viously ana he wanted just such a lady to take care of his three ctildren. The con- ditions of the trip were all agreed upon, and the nice gentleman, as he seemed to be, told her that they would start on the Wednesday following. During the con- cluding preliminaries of the trip, Mrs. Seilert was called out of the room by a lady roomer upon some business. On her return she met her would-be employer go- ing out of the room. After his departure she missed a long, gold walch chain, which she had left on the bed while dress- 1n, £ The man who came to engage her gave the name of Henry Johnson and said he Beale sireet for a number of years, and had as many as 100 men under him'at a tiine, giving his address as Twenty-third street, between Mission and Valencia. In- quiries at the places mentioned failed to find Mr. Johnson. Captain Spillane of the Southern police station was informed of the theft and he detailed Officer 0’Day to find Johnson, who answers to the following description: A man of about 60 years of age; long whiskers, partly turning gray; wears biack {rock coat, showing a portion of the collar lining on the front lapels. He is a smooth talker and passes for a man of impertance. The loss of the chain is additionally felt by the lady in consequence of ils being a gift from her father, wno is dead. e e e — SUNNYSIDE DISTRIOT. Property Will Be Deeded to the City for a Street Opening. The property-owners on the Sunnyside slope are determined to have the section in which they bave invested their money improved in keeping with otber parts of the City, At the present time they are hemmed in with only one means of reaching their bomes, In order to improve this condi- tion of affairs, 1t is proposed to open a street across a portion of the House of Correction Tract from Ocean avenue (for- merly Ocean-house road) to connect with Flood street. As an encouragement to the Supervisors to have that body act in the premises the Sunnyside Land Com- pany has agreed to deed eight lots across private property connecting with th's pro- posed street. When this is accomplished there will be an open s reet on the west- ern side of the present settlement, which will then afford the people an opportun- ity to get to and from the county road without having to travel upward of three miles, as is now the case. The next thing required is to cut a short tunnel under the Southern Pacific Rail- road track at the northern end of the Sun- nyside boundary, which would tead from Chenery street to Mission street direct. The meeting at Dasse’s Hall Monday night was well attended and the uimost enthusiasm was manifested at the pros- pects of having the district improved during the present yesr. In addition to the necessity of street opening a few more electric lights are necessary, as the place is in darkness after sundown. FRIENDS OF ANIMALS, The Society Held Its Annual Election of Trustees Yesterday. Ex-Poundmaster Oshorne Presented s Beport That Caused Some Anger. The annual meeting of the San Fran- cisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held Monday at the Animals’ Home on Sixteenth and Ala- bama streets. The society was organized in April, 1868, since which time it has ac- complished much for the comfoatst the dumb brute. It has an ambulance for the removal of disabled animals, the bestin the United States. It has had since 1891 control of the Public Pound. In order to get control of that institution the society purchased a lot, put up buildings and equipped them at a cost of some $19,000. Several months ago the society decided to retrench its expenses, and the fir:t move was to dismiss several of the em- ployes. Poundmaster Osborne was also asked to adhere to the original agreement and contribute his salary, received from the Board of Supervisors, but this he de- clined to do, saying that he was eniitled to the same for his <ervices. Then camea lot of trouble, for Mr. Osborne refused to resign, and this was necessary in order to keep the Pound under the supervision of the saciety. The society petitioned the Supervisors to remove Osborne and ap- point Charles B. Holbrook, the secretary, to the position. The Supervisors have not taken any action in the matter, pre- sumably on the ground that there was a little friction in the society which should be smoothed over first. So on the annual election depended the question as to whether or not the society would still bave control of the Public Pound. ‘When the reports of the several officers were being read, Mr. Osborne presented a statement relative to the demand of the trustees for his resignation in the inter- ests of economy, in which he made a se- vere attack on the trustees. He said that he wanted to have his eide of the story told, and that be hoped that an entirely new board would be elected. This canused John Partridge and several others to retort that the statement con- tained many falsehoods. Fora few min- utes it looked as though there would be troable, but this was averted by the ob- jectionable paper being laid on the table. The report of the Board of Trustees showed that during the past year eleven members have died, twenty resigned and seventy-two were dropped from the roll for failing to pay their dues. During the year 101 persons were elected to member- ship, making a total of 461. The report of L. Wadham and Columbus Waterhouse as to the society’s financial standine showed on May 31 of this year: Casb in the San Francisco Savings Bank, $12,414 39; cash in treasurer's hands, §756 05; 1n the secretary’s hanas, $42 60. Total cash on hand, §13,213 04. At the last annnal meeting there was on hand $13,618 40, thus showing a loss dur- ing the past year of $405 36. Following is a synopsis of the work done by the society during the past year: Number of cases reported, 3428; number of cases investigated, 3370; number of coses prosecuted, 320; number of convictions, 136; number of disabled animals kilied, 131; num- ber of anlmals taken from work by son of sickness, old age, soreness, ete,, 2666; num- ber of animals Temoved by socikty’s'ambu- lance, 50; number of animals involved, 8373; number of animals relieved, 5493; convic- tions, 186. Upon the recommendation of the nomi- nating committes, the following were elected as a board of trustees for the ensuing year: N.P. Cole, J. P. Jackson, A. H. Lissak, C. Waterhouse, H. E. Holmes, James S. Hutchinson, Luman Wadham, C. S. Crittenden, Martin Stevens, T. G. Gruenhagen, F. A. Vail, John Partridge, Samuel Seymour, B. R. Banning, F. A. Hyde, It was practically a re-slection of the ola board, the new members being Messrs, Partriage, Banning and Hyde. g3The board of trustees met yesterday and organized as follows: President, N. P. Cole; vice-president, Columbus Water- house; treasurer, James 8. Huichinson; secretary, Charles B. Holbrook. The new board decided to appear before the Board of SBupervisors on next Friday and as a unit request the dismissal of Osborne as Poundmaster and the appointment of Sec- retary Holbrook to that office. ————— Death of Martin Ahern. Martin Ahern, City agent of the Royal Ex- cnange Assurance of London, Eng., died at the City and County Hospital yesterday. He had received a painful wound in the leg in the War of the Rebellion and was getting a pension of $12 per month. Last Monday he carelessiy leaned against & door, which suddenly flew open, and he fell down a flight of stairs, re- opening the old wound and causing paralysis, e was taken to the City and County Hospital, where he died before he had been there twenty-four nours. The body was sent to the Morgue. Ahern was 74 vears old. e - Divorce Bults Filed. Bults for divorce were filed in the office of the County Clerk yesterday as follows: Mar- garet J, Ewer against John A. Ewer for deser- tion; Jephtha M.

By means of a pulley and engine he sent mortar, bricks and other material to the fifth story, where it was received by | his fellow-workmen, who swung it ona revolving derrick. At 9:30 o’clock yesterday morning Mec- Carthy was at work as usual, when his fellow-workmen above accidentally causzd a piece of iron weighing nearly two pounds to siin and fall to the earth below. There was an immediate shout of warning and McCarthy looked aloft. This movement probably saved his life. The weight struck bim in such a manner that 1t lifted an area of three square inches of the skull and crushed the bone in min- ute bits on the outer edge. : The unfortunate man became uncon- scious and remained so, practically, until he was treated at the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Edwin Bunnell, who atiended the case, trepbined the patient, removing a piece of the skull the size of a 25-cent piece and thep cutting away the edges of tha fracture. The amount taken away leaves the brain exposed over an area the size of three inches in diameter, the ac- tion of the brain being quite obseryabie when the scalp that covers it is removed. McCarthy is only 33 yearsof age and bas always been a vigorous young man. As he lay on a Receiving Hospital cot yester- day, he spoke pleasantly and as if he was not suffering. : “When I was struck,” he said, “I felt nothing and remembered nothing from the time until I regained consciousness he, do not feel any pain, excepting a slignt pressure once in a while back of my neck. “I don’t know anything about any part of my skull being off. Ifitis, I certainly du}n’,eleel 1it. I feel just as I have ever felt. Dr. Bunnell has enveloped the top of McCarthy’s head with a regulation ice- cap, which, when it is removed and the wound is being attended, reveals the throbbing brain. & Dr. Bunnell stated yesterday that he did not propose to put a silver plate over the wound, as his experience in several cases at the Receiving Hospital has been that the simple scaip covering was suffi- protrusion. “Naturally,” the doctor stated, *‘the patient has to take chances on being un- protected if the plate is not put in. The Receiving Hospital, however, is not the place to do anything of that kind, We attend to the immediate. We remove the pieces of bone that go into the skull, and clean the wound. Thatis all we can do for the time bheing. “The patients who haye come to us with- in the last few mouths with crushed skulls, and wbo have been treated, do not seem to miss the presence of a silver plate, but I wounld not encourage that careless- ness, as the brain has virtually no protec- tion from outside physical shocks.”” In the meantime, patient William Mec- Qarthy sits up in his cot, smiles, talks pleasantly to his wife and babies, and gives the visiting physicians a subject they are pleased to discuss, ihe Nolan Furniture Business. cient, excepting in case of brain hernia or | | and was beoked at the City Prison on a charge | bad been foreman of a machine-shop on | copy.

ROBBING A DEAD MAN, Samuel Friedman’s Watch and Money Stolen After His Death., A Qase for the Police Detectives to Investigate Thor- oughly. Samuel Friedman, a clothes-presser, employed in the Emporium, was found dead in bea at 4:30 o’clock yesterday morning in his room at 268 Natoma street by his landlady, who had been attracted thither by groans iesuing from the dying man. When she got there Friedman was dead. She notified the police, who in turn advised the Coroner. ‘The Coroner’s messenger found Fried- man lying with his face in the pillow and with no indications of the manner of bis death. His paataloons were found care- fully tucked unaer the pillow with noth- ing in the pockets. Nothing of any value was fournd in the pockets or theroom of the dead man. As it was known that Friedman carried a gold watch worth $49 and that he had been paid $14 for his week’s work on the Saturday belore, some surprise hag been manifested by his fel- low-workmen as to the disposition of the dead man’s effects, and they were talking yesterday of bringing the matter to the attention of the police. They say that it would not be likely that a man would carefully fold his pants ard lay them under his piliow unless he had some money or otber valuables in them. ;Isaac Finkelstein, manager of the ladies’ tailoring depariment in the store, has headed a subscripiion list for the purpose of giving Friedman a decent burial. The cause of Friedman’s death was beart failure. He was a native of Hun- gary, aged 45 years. — Penny Purchasing Club, Mrs. Brily Levy, 315 Ellis street, surrendered | herself at the Central Police station yesterday of obtaining money under false pretenses.

THE END OF A b LAWSUIT Judge Seawell Gives Judg- ment Against James Eva, H. J. Barling and J. Pentacost ArevAlso in the Liti- gation, Sale of 1000 Shares of the Alaskaf Packing Company Is Ordered, Judge Seawell handed downTan opinion | in the big Alaska salmon-canning litiga- tion yesterday. The suit was brought by Bartlett Doe, | W. J. Gray, Thomas Potlard, the Tallant Banking Company, W.S. Thompson, B. H. Madison, Mariin Madison, M. J. Madi- | son and James Madison against Jaumes | Lva, H. J. Barling, the Ala<ka Improve-i ment Company, tue A aska Packing Com- | pany, W. B. Bradford, J. Pentacost, 8. J. | Eva and William Clift. ! In the complaint it was allegad that ar- i rangements were made to sell tne property of the Alaska Improvement Company to | the Alaska Packing Company, and that | James Eva and H. J. Barling were ap- | pointed a committee to carry out the | transaction. J. Pentacost was subse- quently added to the committee. In | their report the committee stated that the | I | best offer they could get was $136,000 | for the works and $31,000 for supplies on band, so they were authorized to consum- mate the trade. After the trade the suspicions of the plaintiffs were aroused, and they brought suit alleging that they had been deceived by the committee. It was charged that tne members of the committee received $300,000 for the property, and that they pocketed all over $167,000, the amount re- ported by them to the company for whi ch they were acting. The plaintiffs asked | that an accounting be rendered by the de- | fendants, and that 1000 shares of stock of the Alaska Packing Company, worth | $100,000, be decreed the proverty of the members of the original company; that the stock be deposited in court and that it be sold for the benefit of all parties in in- terest. In their answer the defendants alleged that the extra moneys received by them in the transaction was in consideration of property owned by them individually in | the northern country, and they denied all imputations of double dealing in their | method of discharging their duties as committeemen and representatives of their judge Seaweli found against the de- fendants in regard to the main issues of the litigation, though he allowed James Eva credit for a smali amount ot real es- tate which appeared to be his personal property. In regard to the $100,000 worth of stock given the defendants it was ad- | judged to be held in trust by the de- | jendants and therefore an order was made that it be sold and that the proceeds be distributed to the parties in interest as re- quested by the plaintiffs. The question of traud is pot settled by the court, but the defendants are given the benefit of the doubt. PROBATE ERROR CORRECTED, | Fees for Administrator’s Bonds Not i Allowed by the Court. In probate proceedings in different parts of the State considerable friction has oc- curred between Judges and attorneys by the efforts of administrators to charge as expenses of administration the fees paid out by them in securing bonds [rom surety companies. In many instances lawyers have refarred to proceedings in the courts of this City and County where it was al- leged that Judge Coffey customarily allowed such items as part of the cost of administration. When recently appealed 10 in regard to this matter Judge Coffey responded that he had always refused to consent to any such charge. In two in- stances claims of this character had slipped through, owing to the court’s re- liance on counsel’s knowledge and integ- rity, but in each case the court in subse- quent settlements corrected the error of inadvertence. ‘There are fourteen States in which pre- miom on surety corporate bonds is al- lowed by express provision of the statutes as expenses of administration, but where the statute is silent the court may not allow any such premium any more than it would the purchase of bail in any case. ———— A Victim of the Holiday.
