For several nights a man named Tom Desasy had been drink- ing in the neighbornood of Thirteentt: avenue and East Tweifth street.

This thing continued for several nights and at last Mrs, Deasy, who bas several children, followed her husband downtown and dis- covered him in a saloon piaying a nickel- in-the-slot machine.

OAKLAND, CaL, Aug. 12.—The trial of Michael Collins for the murder of Philip Boogar, that was peremptorily set for to- day, was continned to August3l, as the THE CREMATORY HANGES HANDS The City Council Could Not Create a Monopoly of the Garbage Business. The Promoters Declare They Have Lost Money Since Making the Contract. Italian Scavengers Refused to Deliver Their Collections to the Orematory. OaxrLAND OFrICE SAN Francisco Cary,) 908 Broa!way, Aug. 12 Tne Oakland Garvege Crematory NOW the property of J. E. Lyons, of Front street, San Francisco, and the attempt to ntifically dispose of the garbage of this has proven a failure, or some time it has been known that company was losing money and a nent for labor recently obtained ainst it forced a crisis. The experiment has been watched ‘silh much intersst for over a yeer and bad the promoters been abie 10 secure a monopoly of the business they wouid have been able 1o pay the bonus to the city and to have conducted the institution at a profit to the stockholaers. Tney have been fought vigorousiy by the Italian scavengers ever since toey started and every possible ob- stacle has been placed in their way. On one occasion some sticks of dyna- mite were found in the garbage, which, if it had reached the furnace, would quickly bave ended the cre matory. At the time the company commenced operations tue city was paying $600 per month to a contractor to take the garbage to some point seven miles from 10 and dump it from cars. The com- for over a year has saved this’ unt to the city, but the Muayor re- ci th the i misdemeanor to refuse to deliver garbage to the crematory. This would have created a monopoly, and such a course was declared to be illegal. The Italians have lately been chartering cars and sending their garbage out of town, ana thus the crematory only had | the privilege of destroying what its own men collected. This was not enough to maintain it and it could not meet its obli- gations. County Recorder Spear is president of the company and he says if the Council had properly supported the company it wonld have been able to go ahead. *‘We have saved the city thousands of dollars a year,’’said Spear, *‘and it has de- clined tosupport us. We could easily live up to our contract if we had the priv- ilege of destroying all the garbage, which was what we expected.” It is probable that the city will soon be agan naying $600 a month to bave the garbage hauled out of towin. NO FAMINE IMMINENT. The Annual Story About a Water Fam- ine in Berkeley Given but 1iitle Support. BERKELEY, CaAL., Aug. 12.—The an- nual story of a water famine in Berkeley bas again been put in circulation. About this time each year for the last four au- tumnal seasons the water-famine yarn has been spread abroad. It isa fact that the supply of water in Berkeley is not so good as it might be,and continual protests against the service are { made to the various companies during the | dry season. But as for a famine, that seems to be an error. The lack of an abundant supply in West Berkeley seems to be due to the people themselves. The prevalence of wells and windmills in that section has served to prevent the local companies from extend- ing their mains. The Alameda company has renounced its claim to the territory for putting in mairs, and so the West| End is free to be used by the Contry | Costa company.

Arrest of a Man Who Supplied Himself With Transfer Tickets, Krugel's Clever Scheme Ended When He Passed One Pasteboard Too Many, OAKLAND OFFICE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL,) 1 9u8 Broadwav, Aug. 12, G. M. Krugel Oakland, San Leandro and Haywards Electric Line, has been -caught passing bogus transfers upon bis former em- piover, and is now under arrest charged with attempting to defraud the company outof its regular fare. The accused was jormerly motorman on tbe road, but was discharged after baving run his car into a hack, which it more or less injured. He then went to work at Alameda, though he continued to reside at Eim- hurst. For the purpose of making his trips to and from his place of businessin an inex- | pensive way he conceived the idea of bogus transfers. These he made by secur.ng legitimate transfers and punching the same with a punch which he had secretly acquired ard which so closely resemble punches ot the company that it was diffi- cult to determine the difference 1n the general appearance between the genuine and bogus transters. Circumstances caused Krugel to be sus- pected. The matter was brought to the attention of Constable Glaze. He worked on the case and saiistied bimself that Krugel was doing the crooked work. He caught him 1n the act several times. In going to Alameda the suspect wonld present his bogus ticket and ride free across the estnary and back again. Last night Glaze feared that Krugel might suspect him and thus be placed on his guard, so he put Deputy Constable Robinson to work on the case. Krugel boarded the train for home at Fruitvale. At Hizh street he handed the conductor one of the bogus transfers, to- gether with a nickel, both of which were Intended to pay his passage to Elmhurst. As s00n as the transfer was surrendered the conductor handed it to Robinson, who ) | position. Earl Swan, '99, was also chosen resident for the coming year, and George Mays, '8, cecretary. ‘ Schools Overflowing. | BERKELEY, CawL., Aug. 12—The en- | rollmentin the Berkelev public schools | bus increased by nearly 400 pupils during | the last yesr.

Asa result | ot the increase it has been a very difficult had been provided with an order for that purpose. It was discovered to be bogus, end Krugel was placed under arrest. The company is now making an effort 1o a<certain where Krugel obtained the genuine transfers which ne fraudulently furnished. e e Lincoln Avenue Openod, ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. 12.—Late this afternoon wora was received that the Superior Court had decided the Lincoln avenue opening case advers-ly to Mrs. matter to adjust the attenaance, notwith- standing the fact that several new bu:ld- ings have besn brought into use within the year.

Waere the house stand- fng which was Lurned last spring the street would pass v.rv close to it and per- haps tage u corner off the building. Board of Kqualization. ALAMEDA, Can, Aug. 12.—The City Board of Equalization completed its work this morning and adjourned sine die. Only two assessments were considered at this morning’s meeting. K. C. Eldredge’s interest in a mortgage was raised $500, and that of G.Schonma-ser in the sume property reauced the same amount. In practically every case the Assessor has been sustained by the board in his valua- tians, and as a fact but few objections have been mude. Miss Cuibertson’s Death. Shortly after the death of Miss Marguerite Culbertson of the Chinese mission the state- ment was made that the same was caused by ner being kicked by an inmate of the mission who at the time was out of her mind, aud that the injury became 8o aggravated that it in time terminated fata!ly. r. Catharine V. C. an cx-conductor of the retary Zobel, the latter acting in the capacity of photographer, a thorough inspection from asanitary point of view was made of the frame and brick builaings sitaated on this alley, all | of which, exceptir g the few blocks which face on the rear, weie formerly used s houses of prostitution, but are now without occu- LS, Without exception the buildings on both sides, for the eniire length of Morton street, | are a menace to tue health of the public, inas- | much as the aamp, filthy rooms, obsoiele | plumbing and dilap.d ated floor and roof sup- voris cannot but generate gorms and odors angerous to the welfare ot the immediate borhood and to the public at large. I consider these buildings worse your honorable board. the rvows in both rows of ine- buildings are entirely without light or visible | s of ventilation. They are small, prob- | ubly not over five fect square, while the ceil- [ ings are exceedingly low. A majority of the | floors on a level with or shghtly above the strect are quite damp, a considerable space :ing between the flooring and wet ground. The wallpaper in these rooms, which bulges { toan alarming extent, should be removed and | the wall rebuiit as the ouly sanitary precau- | tion. i None of the clusets are properly trapped, thus allowl g the foul-sme.iiug sewer gas to p the buildings. It was impossible to spect severn. of Lhese rookeries owing to the auseating gas and overpowering stench. erul closets {n ihe rear of the buildings mply bare pipes conneeting direetly with me: the sewer, and which, lifting the b ack stems | ubward, are lisble to saturate the nelghbor- Lood with disease germs. In the rear of 32 Morton street is located a closet which is within two feet of the rear of & restaurant tacing Genry street. The cooking-room of this | restancant is separatea from this closet simply by a series of iron bars, which in turn support shelves heaped up with ments, etc., intended for eating purposes. Herewith wili be found two phiotographs showing the position of the closet and its proximity to the cookroom in question. 1 propose to abate this dangerous | practice in & summary manner, and wlil also refer the same 10 Food Inspector Dockery tor | action. Alter this {nspeetion, and having given due consideration o the existing danger and iis nearncss 1o one of the most populous portions he City, I hereby certify to your honorable ! board thut'said buildings are unfit for human | habitation by reason of their being so infected | with diseasc as to be likely 10 cause sickness both to the cccupants thereof and those sur- rounding or near the same period.

To put the matter in proper shape in case legal complications should arise, the board adopted the following resolution: WHEREAS, After a thorouph inspection, from & sauitary point of visw, has been made by the chairmin of the Commiilee ou Nuisances of the irame aud briex buildings iocated on Mor- ton street, between »'0 k'on and Kearny streets; and whereas, n..er such inspeclion said butldings have been 1ound 10 be danger- ous to the health of those residing or em- ployed in the immediate neighborhood and to Lhe heulth of the publicin general, tnerefore 6 it Resolved, By the Board of Health that sald buiidings on Morton street, formerly used as houses of prostitution, be ordered ciosed untit sucn time as the owners thereoi thoroughly re- build the ailapidated portions and place therein sanitary plumbicg; and be it further Kesolved, That the Heaith Officer be in- structed to enforce this resolution by service of same upon the property-owners of said buildings. A proposition from the directors of the Mechanics’ Institute to have a pure-food exbibit arranged for the coming fair was referred to Dr. Morse with power to act. The trustees of the Home for the Ine- triates sent in a communication offering to turn the institution over to the City, and the matter was referred to a commit- tee to be hereafter appointed by the Mayor. DIMOND'S SUIT DISMISSED. Miss Liilian Blair Wiil Not Have to Pay That $100,000 Fee. The suit of Attorney Henry Dimond against Miss Lillian Blair for $100,000 on account of services as lawyer was dismissed in the Superior Court yester. day. The vlainmift availed himself of his legal right to abandon his claim and the litigation theretore came to a close. This lawsuit has caused a great deal of gossip and controyersy among the friends and admirers of the young lady on one side and the stanch adherents of the lawyer on the other. The distinguished name ot General Barillos was implicated 1n the dispute and there was at one time danger of international difficulties in con- sequence, No explanation has been offered by the plaintiff for the dismissal of nis suit, but it is within the possibilities that the ac- tion may be renewed in another phase within the time allowed by law. In speaking of the course taken by the attorneys tor the plainuff, J. B. Reinstein said it was a compleie surprise to the at- torneys for the defendant. The latter were doing everything possible to bring the suit to trial, and had been given no intimation of the action that was taken yesterday. He also gave it to be under- stood that the matter would not be dropped, but that everybody connected with the plaintiff's suit would be given full opportunity to vindicate their honor. el Ao 014 Friends’ Encampment, President Thomas Sawyer of the 01d Friends Soclety is preparing to yive a three days’ en- campment at some neer-by olace, in which all the old pioneer members and friends will take part. The proceeds will be devoled to ihe cemetery fund, the charitable fund and the sick-atténdance committee. A meeting of the society will be held this at the Norman Hall, 4138 Bush street, to make arrangements for the cucampment, R e Scott, who was the lady's physic'an for year-, states that the blow was not tiue cause of death. She says that Miss Culberison was for the past len years a great sufferer from stomachic trounles, but that she uever com- plained or told even her most intimate friends of her afliciion. It was chronjc stomacbic iroubles, Dr. Scott says, and not the insane woman’s blow, that called the lady away iron the scene of her usefulness. Antone Burgle Held. The preliminary examination of Antone Burgle, charged with assauit to murder in shooting at Lowis Braverman, jeweler, 121 Post street, was held before Judge Low last night. After hearing the evidence the Judge beld Burgle to answer before the Superior Court in $5000 bonds, The Board of Health has declded that | CODLDNT HAVE KILLED RINRELF Dr. Gallagher Says Hoff-| man’s Wounds Were Not Self-Inflicted. Medical Expert Testimony Of- fered in the Figel Case Yesterday. Mailing Olerk Post Tells That Figel Had a Pistol Like the One TUsed. 1n the Fige! examination the scene of { the homicide wae left for a time yesterday and expert testimony was introduced to di-prove the theory of suicide. Tbe ma- jority of (bis evidence was extremely technical. W. 8. Jones, a photographer, the first witness, identified six photographs take® by him from different angles of the hole in the wail f the conversation room. General Barnes objected to their intro- duction as evidence on ihe ground that a line appeared on the wall in the picture which he citaimed was not on the wall {itsalf. H. saia: *‘All sorts of trickery can be carried on in photography by | one who knows how to manipulate lhci camera.”” The objection was overruled and the pictures admitted. The mailing clerk for Hoffman, Roth- child & Co., Clarence M. Post, was shown the pictures taken at the Morgne and identified them as likenesses of Mr. Hoff- man. Inresponse to questions, he said: “In the month of May Theodore Figel showed me a pistol similar to the one found in the offices on the night of June 1. I nad itin my hand and he explained its action to me.”’ Mir. Ach handed bim the pistol found the store and asked, “Was it like in tms “Yes, it was nearly the size of this one.” “Did you ever Lave any conversation | with Mr. Figel in regard to his having kitled anything?” “Previously to the time he showed me the pistol he told me that he had killed a disabled horse. On June 2 Detective Whitaker showed me a pistol, and it was exactly like this one.” “D:d you recognize the pistol he showed | you as similar 10 the one Figel had ?”” It was one like it. Detective Crockett pointed out some spots on it to me and they !ooked like blood. Some of the spots are still on it.”” The witness here directed the attention of the court to some dark spotson the L right side of the revolver which appeared 10 be rust, Dr. Gallagher was next called and testi- fied to mrking an examination of the aead body of Hoffman. He said: ‘‘There were present at the autopsy D Hawkins, | Morgan and Kahn, Chief of Poice Lees and Janitor Smith. I found certain | wounds, external marks on the face, nose and chin and plood on them. . I examired the wounds and for convenience numbered them 1,22nd 3. No.1 was on the leit check three inches from the lobeof the left ear and an inch and a half from the angle of the mouth. There were no powder marks visible ana the two days | | singed. The bullet passed through the | { cheek, fracturing the bones of the nose | and completely destroyirg the roof of the mouth. The bullet was found in the stomach, No. 2 was a lacerated wound on the left temple, an eighth of an inch wide and halfan inch long and was an inch and a nalf ifrom the upper attechment of the ear. The hair around it was not burned. No. 3 was two and a half inches above the ear and an inch and a half in front of it. The edges were blackened and the hair around it singed. Two abrasions were | found on the right side of the face, one | crescent shaped and the other square. | The left side of the face was a little swollen. Tue bullet which made No.3 passed through the skull and injured the brain. A portion of the bullet and some pieces of bone were imbedded in the brain. No. 2 was made by theexit of a part of the bullet causing No. 3. Death was caused by shock and hemorrhage resulting from tbe gunshot wounds jast described. “Wouid wound No. 3 have produced un- | consciousness?’ “It might.” “Would 1t have caused the party receiv- | ing 1t to fall?” “‘Perhaps so.” | “You say ihe brain was injured. What | portion of the body does the injurea part | control 2" “The 1ace and lips.” The court—Is it possible that a parson could have fired both of those shots into | his own head ? | *'He might, but it is not probable.”” “How near must this pistol be held to make a powder mark?” “I don’t think, with black powder in the | cartridges, itis possible for one to hold it far enough away from bimself to prevent powder marks. 1 don’t think the de- ceased could have fired the shots.” “Couid he have inflicted the wound holding the pistol in his right hand ?”’ “It is possible, but it would have been a very awkward position,” The witness then tock the pstol and | showed how it must be held 1o inflict the | wounds with the right and left hands, it | being necessary in each instance to pull | the trigger with the thumb. Pieces of the skull and tha bullet were handed to the witness, and after being identified were offered as evidence. Dr. Gallagher produced some photo- graphs of experiments he had made with pieces of human skin and explained them. He had taken a revolver like the one found st the cffices and fired it at the vieces of skin from diff:rent distances. At five, ten and twentv inches the dis- charge, both with smokeless and black | powder, left marks on the skin. General Barnes conducted the cross- examination. He went into the educa- vening at 8 o'clock | tion of the doctor and found that he had a degree from Cooper Institute and that he nad had considerable experience with gun- shot wounds. In the course of his ques- tions he asked, “What would you say as to the position the wvistol was held in if you heurd that the siewards at the hos- pital had found a smudge or powder stain | two inches in diameter surrounding the | wound ?” This was objected to by the prosecniion as being a hypothetical . question not based on evidence already introduced. The point of law was argued by both sides the remainder of the session. Just before edjournment Judge Campbell sustained the objection. 3 AS THE TIME DRAWS NEAR Arrangements for the Mechanics’ Fair ‘Well Under Way—The Musical Programme, All arrangements for the opening exer- cises of the Thirtieth Industrial Exposi- tion of the Mechanics’ Institute, at the Columbia Theater, on Tuesday afternoon, the 17th inst., have been mads, and a very interesting programme of exercises bas been prepared.
