HORLED 70 HIS DEATH, Frank Silva Killed in +the Hold| of the Steamer Walla Walla. He Was Dragged From a Ladder by a Sack of Wheat That Was Being Hoisted. Frank Silva, a longshoreman,50 years of age, was hurled to hisdeath in the hold of the stcamer Walila Walla, now dischar; her cargo at seawall 2, last evening at 5 "clock. 1 unfortunate !aborer had been busy g the day working in the hold of the vessel. At 5 o'clock his day’'s work was done and he started up the ladder through 2 hatchway to the deck. He had climbed about fifteen feet when he noticed a sack of wheat that was being hauled to the deck swinging ‘oward him. He be- came alarmed and placed bis foot against the sack to force it from &im. His foot caught in the sack, he was dragzed from the ladder and went plung- inginto the bold below. He struck on bis ead and deatn was instantanecous. His body was hoisted to the deck and re- moved to the Morgue. The deceased leaves a widow and three ed a Part in thel ning and the new | sno, San Jose, Santa Cruz | no other not know who their cpponents | ild e ou the morrow, a schedule has | HERE is an unusual scene in Judge TC-rmn Cook’s court every morning at 10 o’clock. On the opening of court the Judge orders the calling of the calendar, and when Clerk Tolie reaches the case of “Theodore A. Fig charged with murder,” the defendant arises from nits place in the rear of the room, ana ad- vaneing to the bar bows to the court and responds, “Present, your Honor.” This formality is rendered necessary on account of an order made by the court at the time of the granting of the defendant’s application to be admitted to bail. At the conclusion of tie argument by the attorneys for the prisoner, it will be remem bere thay District Attorney Barnes informed the court that he deemea it a proper case for admitting the defend- ant to bail. Judze Cook adjourned court temporarily in order that he might con- It with other Judges of the Superior ien he returned to the b at while he would application for bail e bim 1o report personaliy d in t every day until the case could open cou be tried. This order was made so that there could be no possibility of the p oner getting very far away before the off: cers of the law would be after him, should make up his mind to leave his bondsmen in the lurch. At best he could not hope to get more than twenty-four bours’ start, and he would have to take chances ev:n on that, as any unusual movement on his part would at once arouse suspicion. The order of court carries with it a for- feiture of Figel's bonds if he shall at any | time fail to answer to his name when it is | called by the clerk of the court, and in | order 1o save all the rights of the prose- cution, on each occasion it is announced | in open court that the case is continued | by consent until the next regular court day. This introduction of the lezal ‘‘ticket- of-leave” system in a criminal crime is something novel in the courts of this city, | but it has the evident advantage of leav- 1ng no opporiunity for escape, for it is as | if e court shou.d ‘‘make assurance doubly sure and take a bond of fate.”” AVE THEY An Important Change in the Rules of the School Directors. It Gives a Newly Made Com- mittee Unlimited Authority to Spend Money. | The Solid Contingent Can Find Lu- crative Employment for All Their Friends, Another neat littie scheme to spend the taxpayers’ money for the benefit of a few tried and tru ends of the Solid Nine in the School Board has manifested itsef, and unless something can be done to check it there will be carrfed. he plan originated in the fertile brain of Mr. Waller = couple of months ago, and when he explained its beauties to his con- freres a murmur of admiration such as Spartacus may have heard when he ad- | | | | e band in caucus assembled. There was no proviso in the rule that Mr. Waller be made chairman of the com- iittee, but this, of course, was under- stood. It seems also to have been under stood that the commitiee be the sole judges of when and where the experts would be needei and how many would be | required. There ~eemed to be ubsoiutely no necess of geiting the sanction of the board. If Mr. Waller or wuis feliow com- mitteemen wanied twenty health in- spectorsat $20 per day they could go ahead and hire them—the board would foot the oill. This was the resolution as offered, but Mr. Head was not satisfied with it and to the surprise of the Solid Nine had the aundacity to express his opinion on the subjec:. He could see no necessity of appomting | tion an tbe | na | | health inspectors for the school buildings | when the board already has one in | person of John O’Brien, wto is paid for { doing this work. Besides this, each prin- | cipal and teacher is supposed to look afier | the sanitary condition of the rooms undcer | tweir care and report any little discrepan- { cies which they may note. Then there is | 2150 a Board of Health connecied with the ty, having in itx employ a surpius of in- spectors, whose jurisdiction certainly ex- tends over the public school buildiugs and who would be only too willing to under- { teke the task of making periodical inspec- tions, Mr. Head was supported by Messrs. Armer and Derham, and through their e foris the resolution was amended and car- ried with the proviso that no expense be incurred by tne inspection. This proviso was all right as longz as it lasted, but it only lasted until the next meeting of the voard, when it was siricken out, giving the committee all the latitude 1t wanted. And the Solid Nine smilea benignly and winked at one another. The next move was a perfectly natural one, in fact the only one that could be ex- vected under the ciicumstances. It was the presentation of two bills, one by J. H. Costigan, the other by C. L. Shilling, for $133 30 each, for inspecting school build- ings during the past forty days. Mr. Head atlempted to raise a storm over this, and asked what these gentle- men bad done for their money. e was vrushed aside as uncstentatiously as a Jerseyman brushes aside a mosquito, vut with a persistence which would be highly creditable to the musical little insect he insisted on being answered. Finally the answer came from Waller in a 1i-you-must-know-you-must way, “The zentlemen visited all the school buildings and adjusted the shades in some of the rooms!”’ This, then, is what inspectors at a sal- no saying to what limits | | D. & | | | { | | LITTLE HOUSE, JONEY T0 BURN | Whateverits origin the ubiversity e minor children, who were wholly depend- ary of $100 per month are required for. ent upon him for support.

Interesting Address Before the Auxiliary of the Washington Memorial Society. Many Ladies Listen to Words of Wisdom From the Learned Professor. Professor David Starr Jordan, who for several montus has been interested in the subject of a National University, read a paper that he had published in the Forum before a meeting of ladies interested in that subject, and presided over by Miss Sarah Hamlin, yesterday at the Occiden- tal Hotel. Following 1sa portion of the article, in which he explains the purpose and need of a university of this sort The National University should not be an titution of general ation, with its rules reguiations, college classes, good-fellow- ana footbali team.

That this can b: done wisely is rof theory. With all their mistakes udities the State universities o1 this country constitute the most hopeful feature in our wnole educational system.

In itsdegres the history of every Staie 1s molded by its highest institution of learning. There is noinstrument of political, social or administratiye reform to be com: pared with the influence of a national uni- versity. Professor Jordan went farther and said that he himself had received more of an education at Washington tuan he had at Cornell, Harvard and other universities be attended. It was not to be a large, grand building, but a small institution devoted wholly to learning. The ladies then discussed the subject at length and decided to submit it to & com- mitiee for further invesiigation. The ladies on the committee appointed are: Mrs. Eana Snell Poulson, Mrs. John F. Merrill, Mrs. Henry Gibbons, Mrs. Irving F. Moulton, Mre. A S. Hubbard, Mrs. Cube!l Maddox, Mrs. Emma Shafter How- ard, Mrs. George Oulion, Mrs. Harriet Strong and Dr. Adelaide Brown. AN A(CIDENT. No Evidence of Muider Found in the Case of George E. Wilson. ‘The Coroner’s jury yesterday morning in the case of George E. Wilson, whose dead body was found last Wednesday morning lying at the foot of Telegraph Hill, on Chestnut street, between Kearny and Montgomery, returred a verdict of accidental death. There was absolutely no evidence what- ever to afford grounds for a suspicion of murder. The man’s clothing was torn, and his body was scratchea and bruisea where he had struck the cliff in his fali. His nat was not lost, as stated in a sensa. 1ional paper, but was found lying near t budy, and wes placed in possession of the Coroner with the remains. i o Suit Against Larkin. | name was Ther DEPTHOFA HOTHER'S LOVE Shown in the Melancholy Accidental Death of Kittie Wells, The Girl Fell Down a Lodging- House Stairs and Fractured Her Skull.

G0Y DIREGTORS SHUN THE GAFF 0’Donnell’s Summons-Ser- ver Chasing the School Board. Hammond and Carew Were Hooked by Tricks Entirely New to Them. Gallagher, Like a Jack o' Lantern, Makes a Clerk's Life a Weary Burden. The life of the summons-server, like the life of the policeman in the “Pirates of Penzance,” is not always a happy one. This is the conclusion of Charles E. 8. Weeks, who, for the past four or five days, has been endeavoring to serve the sum- monses on the members of the Board of Education in the case of C. C. 0'Donnell versus the members of that august body. It will be remembered that in this case Dr. O'Donnell seeks to oust the Board of Education for making certain changes n the matter of the school tex:books, the | same as the late Board of Supervisors were turned out of the green pastures of prosperity into the barren highway of private life. The sulnmonses, which begin “You are hereby commanded to appear,” etc., were placed in the handsof Mr. Weeks for service upon the several direct- ors therein named, and he started out with s light heart. Last evening he returned to the office weary of foot and low in spirits, for there was stiil one more to serve and no telling when the job would be finished. The one unserved,like the farmer’s chicken that ran around so fast thatit could not be cournted, is Director E. J. Gallagher. Mr. Weeks bas camped at Gallagher's cffice, roosted upon bis front door steps by the hour and | chased phantom Gallaghers all over town. This snmmons is now showing the signs ¢ | of age and a hardlile. Its edges are frayed and the once bright green paper bears the dog ears oi many a disappointment, for Mr. Weeks has puiled it out for service on nearly every Gal- lagher whose name appears in the city directory, and now Mr. Weeks has the wild :dex that every other man in the { citv of San Francisco is named Gallagner. Witn Directors Drucker, Burns, Ban- te.l, Barrington, Ragan, Head, Waller and Armer it was a ‘‘dead easy game,’ for | tuey acknowiedged the sumtaons like lit- tle men, out William A. Derham proved a puzzler to the summons-server, who don’t know even now whether the director de- | nied his identity or whether there is two of . For two days Weeksran after Derham and finally the man who accepted the summons proved to be the same per- | son, or one who looked like him, that Weeks had talked to noless than halfa dozen times. Thomas R. Carew was another hard one to catel, for he caused much delay and annoyance by accepting the summons directed to Director Waller, and was only ianded by mistaking the weary and sad- | faced Weeks for one who had lost hi: last and best friend. An inquiry as 1o the price of a coffin threw him off his guard and he disclosed his identity. This in- advertence was caused to some extent by a little trick on the part of Mr. Weeks, wbo caused a lady iriend to call Mr. Carew up on the tolephone, As the lady had a scb in her voice the much-soughi- off his guard when the solemn-visaged Weeks putin an uppearance. Director Phil Hammoad, “Eloquent as he is sometimes called, was another hard one for the summons-server to catch. For days he is said to have kept away from his place of business ana could not be found at his home at 2 Golden place, off Larkin street, and Weeks had a tootpath worn by running between the two places. At last he won by strategy what energy failed to accomplish. Yes- terday Mr. Weeks provided himself with a “wad’’ of copy paper such as reporters use and a pencil, and changing his suit of clothescalled at the Hammond residence and said to the lady who answered the bell that he was a reporter and wanted to interview Mr. H. on the subject of Sup- erintendent Webster. It may be considered a mean trick to vlay upon a man's weakness, but—Direc- tor Hammond appeared at the door in less than a minute. Mr. Weeks said the Director's disappointment and chagrin was almst pitiful and caused a twinge of | his own conscience; but duty is duty.
