N Fraxcrsco L'ALL.} adway, Aug. 30. Rather than appear in court to-day and explain his stewardship over asmall es- tate of his young nephew Jens Hansen of Sun Lorenzo ended his life tiis morning. Hansen complained to his wife early this morning of feeling sick. He said he would retire to the attic and rest, and with this explanation his wife and two children prepared to go to work in the adjacent cannery. Instead of resting Hansen went into the attic and carefully | prepared for death. He made -a comfort- able place to lie down and took off his coat and vest. He had previously ob- tained a bottle of strychnine, and as soon as he thought his family had time enough to start for the cannery he swallowed the fatal dose. A little later Mrs. Hansen, who had not gone out, heard groaning in the attic, and on going up there she ci-covered her hus- band in ereat agony, rolling about on the pallet. He was unable to speak to her, but the emnty strychnine bottle told its own tale. His wiie lost no time in send- ing to Haywards for a doctor, but before he arrived the man was dead. Hansen was to have appeared in court this morning to render an accounting of the estate of a youne nephew. About a year ago Hansen’s brother died and left an estate consisting of $2000, the amount of his life insurance in the Woodmen of the World. Half of this was given to Jens Hausen and the other half was left to his young son, Jens' nephew. Hansen’has been doing very little bu: ness lately and had occasion to use h own share of the legacy, and it is said he was recently citeu to explain the.con- | dition of his nephew’s estate, This seamed to trouble him, and he has been very despondent of late. *I do not know why he shounld have wisted to die,”” said his wife this evening. “He seemed all right last nigh:, and this morning be said he did not feel weil. | I bad no 1dea what was the matter with { bim when I found him in such agony, and he never uttered a word till he died.” Police Officers’ Bicyecles Collide. QOAKLAND, Car., Auv. 30.—Police Of- ficer William Moore and Special Officer Lufkin met on the corner of Fifteenth sireet and the engine-house at noon to- day, both mounted on bicycles.

The municipal ex- penses of New York are £8,000,000, OaxcAND OrricE is not quite clear, but the Judge says he overraled it arnd took juagment by default. In other words, the groom did not join issues fast enough and Judge Brophy got the first kiss. The groom was not accus- tomed to such judicial forwardness and his objection was vigorous. Itis eaid he used force with his objection, but the Judge says not, although he admits that the groom was not atall well versed in etiqueite of weddings by a Jnstice of the Peace. Bociety, like everything else in the new town at Corral Hollow, is in a primitive state. Thereare no set rules, and every- body, so far as social etiquette goes, is a law unto himself. John Byrne and Josephine Copeland were married recently, and as ministers are scarc2 at Corral Hollow, they sent for the Justice from Pleasanton, and he very quickly responded, He performed the ceremony, and aiter it wasover he at once kissed the bride. Thisangered the groom, who abruptly pushed the Ju-tice’s face away and quickly substituted his own. Some of the party thought that the method employed to get the lips of Judge Brophy away from those of the bride closely resembled a slap, but the Judge says no, and to avoid contempt procee i~ ings his friends affect to believe him. Anvway, there was trouble at the close of the first wedding at Corral Hollow. *Oh yes, there was some trouble,’”’ said Judge Brophy to-night. “I make a prac- tice of kissing brides and I saw no reason for making an exception 1n this case, so I kissed Mrs. Byrne. There should have been no objection to it. I certainly oscu- lated in the most approved fashion and the bride made no objection. Mr. Byrne? Yes, he objected, but I understand ne ob- jected more after I left than while I was present. It was merely a misunderstand- ing on the part of the groom. He will know better next time. No, I was not hurt. You see the bride smiled at me.” THE OITY'sS FINANOES. Auditor Snow Submits an Estimate for a Tax Levy. OAKLAND, CaL, Aug. 30.—City Audi- tor Snow has estimated the amount of money needed to run the city for the present fiscal year, and believes that the 1ax levy should be the same as last year, $1 12.

Addresses a Letter to thé Treas- urer on the Public Print- ing, Laws Quoted to Show What Public Printing Means Under the Statutes. Auditor Broderick informed Treasurer ‘Widber yesterday, in a formal and official ietter, that the Mayor was guilty of livel when he asked the Treasurer to withhold payment on warrants for stationery de- mands that bad been signed by the Auditor. This marks the culmination of the con- troversy between the chief executive and the watchman of the treasury over the que-tion as to what constitutes a legal de- mand against and which constitutes a charge against the public printing ac- count. The Auditor contends that public print- ing is no more nor less than the publica- tion of official notices and the printing of ofticial reports, and in his letter to the Tieasurer he quotes the law on which he rests his case. The letter to the Treasurer is as follows: AUDITOR’S OFFICE, CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. £an Fraucisco, Aug. 30, 1897. A. C. Widber, Esq., Treasurer—DEAR SIR: In e performance of duty I did, on August 25, audit demands and draw warrants upon the tressury in favor of various firms in satisfac- tion of demands for stationery, etc., payable out of the special fee fund. Some of these warrants have been honored and paid by you. Iam informed that you have refusea to pay others because of a lctter addressed to you by the clerk of the Mayor, in the name of the Mayor, in which it s said: “These supplies have been contracted for contrary to law; he wishes you to withhold payment, as they con- | stitute an {llegal and invalid claim against the City.” | ,AsIview thislanguage as libelous as to the effect of my acts and without authority of iaw as to your duty, you will pardon me for addressing you While the laws governing the finances give 1o the officers of Auditor and Treasurer each 1ull aiscretion in” judging’ what may be vatid claime, you are not bound to recognize the | Auaitors acts as final. It is my opinion, | however, that you should be possessed of good | reasons for the refusal of payment of audited 'WArrants upon the treasury on any of its funds designated vy the Auditor. 1do not deem it necessary to call attention to the law- concerning your duties and powers, as you have had long experience, but I fail to find any law for the suspension of your power and proper performance of duty through tne means adopted in 1his case. The pleasant official relations which have existed between,myseli and your experienced father and with yourself during your in- cumbency of the office prompt me to the lnbor of giving you the data and references that justified the auditing and issuauce of the warrnts for stationerv, etc., in question, Itis my opinion that the consolidation act never intended that stationery and stationery supplies should be considersd as printnc, nor that it should be coutracted for as prini- ng. Kun down the following and see what you think about it. A8 TO BTATIONERY.

You will sce that the Legislature in this act set aside the limit of cost and also directed that books, blanks and stationery must be paid from the special fee fuud and not from the general fund, thus guaranteeing expedi- ditious and certa{n payment inasmuch as that the special fee fuud 1is always likely to be (qual to der ands theréon. AB TO PRINTING. Sec. 69 of the consolidation act as approved in 1856, page 164, Siatutes of 1856, provides for the letting out of and contracting for the erec- tion of public buildings, printing and sub- sistence of prisoners and nothing e.se, to wit: Eec. 60.

HE BORE AWAY A Thief Gets Of With a Bag of Money From a Fruitstore, A Lively Race Through the! Streets After the Bold Robber. Ho Dodges His Pursuers, and After Crossing Outhouses Hides in a Basement. A thief made a bold and successtul haul | of a sack of money yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock from the fruitstore of Baldocchi & Simi at 232 Tavlor street, At | the time mentioned Simi was attending to the store while his partner, Baldoccni, was sitting in ‘he back room engaged in some busines S:i had occasion to step | in to speak to him on scrae matter, leav- | ing the fruitstand unattended for the time being. As he was about to return | he thought he saw some persons hanging round in front, as is sometimes the habit of customers before making a purchase, consequently he paid but little attention to them for the time being. Butan un- usual noise at the money-drawer caused him to take a sharper look in that direc- tion. This time his observation was re- warded by seeing the thief dash out of the store with the money-sack under his arm and run down Taylor street. Simi gave chase, blowing a police whistle. Before leaving the store Simi grabbed a istol from the drawer, which he carried n his hand while in pursuit, but in conse- quence of there being so many people on the street he wasafraid to fire. The robber was joined at the corner of Taylor and Eddy streets by two confederates, who ran_along with him until they came to the White Wing Saloon, at 115 Eddy streer, where they suddenly turned into a side entrance between that house and 113, which stands back from the street. Here the thief was sean to climb over the back fences and over the roofs of the outhouses that connect with those fronting on Turk strest, He jumped from one roof to the other until he was seen to drop down into the basement of B'nai B'rith Hall build- ing. From there all traces were lost of the man and the sack of money, alttovgh the police officer, who by this time had made his appearance on the scene, had made a thorough search of the entire basement, but to no avail. The sack contained $75 in gold and silver. THE STOOK MARKET. Mining stocks were firm yesterdzy and some showed a slight advance. Occidental sold up to $120 on the afterncon call.
