Juror Beebe, on account of whose ill- ness the case bas been continued for two weeks, was able to be in court, although very weak. Juage Ozden charged the arv, and a little after 11 o’clock they re- tired. Several ballots were taken, and gradually from standing eight for acquit- tal they arrived at a unanimous verdict of not guilty. Mrs. Boogar was in court by the side of her father, and was movad to tears when the verdict was announced, and, as the Judge ordered the jury dis. charged and the verdict entered on the records, Michaet Collins, now a free man, shook hands With each of them as they left tne box, This is the conclusion of the third trial of Michael Collins for xilling Philip Boo- gar in the entrance of the Galindo Hotel in January of 1895, At each of the other als the jury disagreed, and the trial just concluded was postponed from time to time untili Judge Ogden set it perem- The troubles cf the Boogars began with he marriage of Mrs. Catherine Rule to ‘hilip Boogar about four years ago.

Mayor Phelan presided, and as soon as the convention was called to order it rezo:ved itself into a committee of the whole, and took up the consideration of the report of the legislative commitiee. Section 52, which bad alrexdy been adopied, was amended so’ 8s 10 provide that any one granted a franchise for a street raillway inust bezin work within six montns, and if aiter the completion of the road any pert of it isnot operated for a period of tnirty days tne franchise is to forfeited. Furtier sections limiting the pswers of the Bupervisors with reierence to the granting of franchises were adopted, aiter considerable debate and the inircduction of a number of smendments. The most important one uaopt=d was one providing that when a franchise is io be granted for a street railway 1t shall be given to the party offering the highest per csnt of its earnings each month. Ea2en corporation receiving such a iranchise must pay inio the city at least 3 per cent of iis earnings for the fir: ¢ years, and 1 percent addi- tional each succéeding teu years. An amenument 10 anotuer section al. ready adopted provides thatno special privileges sha!l be gzranted i of frame build:ngs within except by a five-sixths voie of the board, and th s must be approved by the Mayor. The aitention of the committee was called to the fact that it had aaopied a section providing ior the coileciion of a special license irom ull merchants. A number of the members contenaed that while this is done in the ciiy at present it is not omply unjust, but also uncon- stitutional. On vote the section was amended to resd ibat licenses should be | collected only from businesses notcon- ducive to good morais.

NOUSTLR DAY AT PRESIDIO The Boys in Blue Answer to Their Names and Are Counted Present, Lieutenant Roudiez, the Athlete of the Post, Is Busy on His Foot- ball Team. Yesterday being the last day of the month was recognized at the Presidio as | being what is known as ‘muster day,” or the day upon which the roster is called of all the men, commissioned and non-com- missioned, quartered in the post. Their presenc-, whether at quarters or absent on duty, is accounted by the adjutant b:fore their names are submitted to the pay- master for his monthly settlement. Uncle Sam exacts this strictness from his sub- ordinates at the end of each and every month in order that no dummies be placed upon the payroll, ana aiso to keen the accounts straight and see that every 2 gets what is coming to him from the After the muster is over, ex- rd duty, the bovs in blue ge' a respite from tue usual drillx and other duties about the quarters. Hence “‘mus- ter day” is not an unweicome visitor at an army post. The Presidio of to-day is much chanred from that of 1849. The brown hill that stood *ou'hward from the old wooden barracks has teen tran<formed fiom its virgin condition into a miniature forest of sweet scented accacia and while the lower sect:ons bave assumed a tropical appearasice from the iuxurious growth of rose bushes and tender vines visible at cvery turn of the numerous drivew: and hendsome walks. This with the wonderful change made within the past year on the marsh north of th parate grounds, wt is about com- pleted by resson of its being filled in, makes the plice one of aitraction an withal a vleasure ground for the peovle of this city, inasmuch as it is open atail time« to the general public.

In speaking with Lientenant Rondiez on this subject he said: W are at present engaged in training some of our men and will continue to do so. There will be sev- eral officers here from West Point in a few days. Several of these have had experi- ence on the West Point football team and will be available as coaches. They may also play on the team. AL present Lieu- tenant Menoherof the I'hird Artillery and Private Searight, the capinin of the first eleven, late of Stanford Un versity, and myself are coaching the players. The colors of the team will be red, white and biue, and will be exhibited in the stock- ing, the sleeves of the jerseys and the sweaters worn by the m-mbers of the team.

Instead of Soothing Syrup a Dose of Carbolic Acid Was Administered. Within Three Hours the Obild Only Three Days 0ld Was a Corpse. OAKLAND, CAL, fept, 30.—A babe three days old died this mo:rning two bours alter the nurse had given it a dose of carbolic acid instead of soothing svrup. Mrs. Bedan was employed abont a week aro by Mrs. Perara, wife of a Golden Gate butcler, to nurse her. Three days ago a child was born and Mrs. Bedan zssumed control of both mother and babe. A few hours atter its birth the infant contracted pneumonia and Dr. Wood prepared a soothing medicine lor it, whick was to be administered during the night when the child should wake up. On a stand near the bea th» nurse kept several bottles of medicine for both mother and child. Some of the bottles were of the same s and color, though the contents were vastly different. Shortly after midnight the baby awoke and the nurse prepared to give it a dose of medi- cine, There was only adull light in the room and 'n her haste the nurse mistook car- bolic acid for -cothing syrup. She poured oul a ful dose, 100k the chiid in her arms and poured it down its throat. The screams of the infant caused the nurse to realize her fatal mistake. The baby’s throat and mouth were fear- fully burned, and after the doctor arrived everyihing was done to counteract the poison, but without aay rood result, and about 3 o’clock this morning the child | died. The Coroner took charge of the little body and held an inquest this eveninz and a verdict was returned thatdeath re- suited from an accident, and the jury at- tached no blame to the nurse. OBJECTIONABLE SYSTEM, Patrons of Hamilton Grammar School Do Not Like Having Their Children Numbered. The antiguated and obsvlete system of giving pupiis school numbers, which was discardea all well regulated schools many years ago, still prevails in the Ham- ilton Grammar School in this city and there are many indignant parentsin that part of ibe city who most strenuously ob. ject 10 their children being treated like | convicts and who think that the tcachers should take enough interesi in their pu- pils to learn their names.

He sa:d it was unauthorized and without warrant and promissd to take st ps to Lavs it stopped. So far th La. been no change, how- ever, and now the patronscf the school usting about for further meuns of re- ief.

HUDDY GOING FOR TROTTERS Light Betting on the Har- ness Events Across the Bay. Claudius and Bessie Rankin Easy Winners of Their Re- spective Events, The 2:20 Trot Was Unfinished With Palermo Looking Like a Viotor. Rain had a dampening effect on the at- tendance at the harness races over the bay yesterday, only a small crowd viewing the sport, which was very tame ana devoid of excitement, The 2:24 trot and the 2:17 pace proved one-sided affairs,Claud ius and Bessie Ran- kin, pronounced choces, winnmng in off- hand fashion. The 2:2)trot though wasa long drawn out squuabble, and as the day wus done remained unfinished with Paler- mo with two heats 1o his credit and Osito one, The majority of those presentevi- dently forgot to bring their walleis along, for the gambling was fur, very far, from being fierce. Tue track was slippery, which accounts ‘or the poor time being out. Pacers ure net partial to muddy going, and the one “wiggling"” event was decidea over the inner track, which, Leing a composition of cinders, sea-shells and turf, was as hard as arock. Tie entries for the 2:24 trot were re- duced to four, with Csuaius ruling a hot choice over Fanadma, Joe and bunched as field at odds of 10 0 7. Noihing but a case of heart failure or a broken ley could prevent the favorite from taking the purse, ihe way he skylarked a around for the first heat, and the field stock sell with a thud in the market. Belore the other iwo heats were tra- versed a few tickets were sold with Claud- 18 on the ten daollar end and the tield bringing three, but the result d:d not justify this small investment, for Claud- ius won the second and ihird as easily as he captured the opening heat.
