BRSO | DISTILLERY WAREHOUSE BURNED, | Six Thousand Barrels of Spirits | Stored in the Building Consumed by the Flames. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.—A fire that did fully $100.000 damage broke out shortl before 5 o'clock this evening in the ware- house of the Ravenswood Distillery Com- pany in North St. Louis. Two employes were on the fourth floor of the seven-story warehouse roilling a barrel of alcohol from an upper tier, when the bung flew out and a stream of alcobol covered a lantern. In an instant flames sprang up, seriously burning C. J. Murphy about the face. A general fire alarm was turned in, but the work of the firemen was useless as the 6000 barrels of alcohol, bourbon, rye and spirits stored in the building fed the flames, and within thirty minutes the entire warehouse was a ro: ing furnace from cellar to roof. The dis: tillery edjoining was saved. At 7 o'clock the fire was under control. The distitler has not been in operation for some time, owing to a full stock on hand, and the business consisted in shipping orders. THEEE BUKGLARS CAUGHT.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL. | SACRAMENTO, Nov. 23.—The attitude some of the people in the vicinity of alt toward the Folsom boulev:rd project, if correctly reported, is beyond the un- derstanding of thos: wh» are engaged in | making this fight for progress, and, inci- aentally, to save the good name of Sacra- mento. The reports from that section are not as unanimous as they might be; in- deed, the impression now prevails that should the vote be taken to-morrow a vare majority wou!d be found on the right side. No one seemed able to ac- count for this remarkable state of affairs, s0 THE CArL corresp nden: sought an in- terview wi h Don Ray of the firm of | Whittaker & Ray, who are very much in- terested in the affairs of the veople in the southern portion of the county. Mr. Ray, when asked how the people of his saction “No one can say with any certainty what the feeling is. The farmers around | here have been very busy, and I do not believe that they have given the matter | much thought.” | When asked if it was true that his firm was against the project he -aid: **‘We have not expressed ourselves to any one, and whatever you have heard | has been based upon nothing said by us. | The Folsom Road Commissioners sent word to me and asked 1f I would arrange | for a meeting here, and 1 did so. I have l attended to the posting of their notices, and in other ways have informed the people that the meeting was going to be | beid, and for their own information and | profit they shoud turn out and hear what the speakers had to say. If there has been any one speaking for the people of { Galt on this matter they have done so without authority, and bave bad no right to give private opinions as public ones. | When the proposition is preseuted to us | and we hear wnat there is to be said the | minds of our people will then be made up, and I will then be able to tell you what the sentimentis. Until that time | | comes neither myseli nor any one el-e | can do so. I have received a great many letters from my friends in Sacramento, |and 1 have told tkem all that I would do | my best toward getiing the people out at the meeting they are poing to hold, and when they do come out I think you need have no fear of the people of Gait taking a view different from that of other tax- yers ot Sacramento County.” Such expressions from Mr. Ray will bave a tenuency to destroy the effect of the reports heretofore circulated, and which placed Galt :n the procession. David Reeze of Sheriff Johnson’s office, who has for many years been a resident of Florin and who drives cur to his nome every evening, said to THE CaLLcorre- ent: very day that passes brings new sup- | porters to the Folsom road propositio! | The people out my wav were not very en- thusiastic abous it at first, but since they | have b 12 the matter over and the s CALL demonstrated that t probability the road would be ex- | tendea through tnat section the sentiment { has grown very strong, and I believe that before election time the vote will be all rightaround Florin. I have talked toa! great many peope and I find that to be the trend of publicsentiment.”’ Dr. McKee of Elk Grove, n reply to a question by THE CALL correspoadent, said that no particulur canvass had been made | n his locality, and un'i: there was noone | could tell how the vote was going. Sup-rvisor Jenkins from that locality outspoken in opposition to the scheme. He said: *'1f the State wants to bui!d a road let it go ahead and build it, but for the county to contribute toward it and then give un all controi of the road is a concession I { will not favor nor vote for.” | Mr. Jenkins proclaimed thatif the ques- | tion was aefeated in his locality he would be pleused to take the credit for it. Elk | Grove will be a gocd battlefield for the contention which is now being waged in | Sacramento County between progression and silurianism. Last night’s meetng of the hizhway board was well attended, apd when the vote was taken but few were | found around the Slough House who were | not in favor of sustaining the fair name of Sacramento County. This board is doing | great work. |7 The Evening Bee voices the sentiment of the people here in the following edi~ torial of 1ts lastissue: The Bee desircs to make acknowledgment beiore the peaple : entire State of the public spirit w Jepartment of High- Wnys, &s represeuted by Commissioners Mars- deu Manson, J. Frice and W. L. As snowing in the campaien for the State high- wey from this city to Folsom. These gentle- doing eiling work for this project. have started forth to spesk to the tax- payers of the county and to show them that tneir interest lies 1n making possible the con- struction of this Lwenty.mile siretch of model | rond. Strictly speaking, they did not need 10 turn & hand in thiscampaigu; the work which they are performing is not set down as purt of their official duiies. But with an enthusiasm was which s refreshing to behoid in a depart- ment of the State Government—as re- freshing, we might add, as it is un- usual—the Hignway Commissioners have jnmped into the brench, &nd are battling for the roed night and day, regardless of weather or personal comfort. The construction of the Foisom highway is not a matter of iocal con- cern alonc—1t is 8 movement in which the €hy tire State has an interest, .oc we thoroughly believe its constructios wiii mean the stari of an ern of good rords throughout the State. So, much #s this county wiil owe in gratitude 10 Commissioners Manson, Ashe and Price ii the road becomes a reality, the debt will not be alone vu s—it will be {he debt of ihe entire Stete. The Bee commends these enthusiastic aud inteliigent gentiemen to the ms. cordial treatment and most tnough'ful atteation of those taxpeyers smong wuom they wiil move during the next two weeks in the interest of the Folsom highway THE CHARTER-MAKERS. Pensions for Firemen and Police and Powers of the Mayor. The charter-making committee of one bundred, with a quorum of twenty-three members present, met last nigit. Dslegates Jobn M. Raymond and W. J. Cuthbertson having resizned, the Mayor appointed John H. Quinn and Arthur Town in their places, The first business was the notice of re- consideration given by E.P. E. T:roy at the last meeting which was to the effect of abolishing pensions to policemen except when disabled in the performance of their duti Delegate Troy fought hard for his point, but the section dealing with penslons was referred back to the commit- ee with instructions to extend the pen- sion benefits to firemen as well as police- men. This was more than Troy had calculated on and in a fit of anger he moved that all hod-carriers whose spinal columns had become crocked after twenty-five years’ labor be also pensioned. A hearty laagh greeted this humor of a defeated recon- sideration mover. The consideration of the report of the committee on executive department was then taken up. The first section which dealt with the Mayor, was short,and easily disposed of. 1t read as follows: SECTION 1. The chief executive officer of the city and county of Sau Francisco shall be designated the Mavor. He shall be elected and hold his office for the period of two years. e may appoiut & secretary, who shall hold bis posiion xt the pleasura of the Mayor. This was passed, but Major B. Me- Kinne objected that there was no legal qualification for this officer. This discov- ery was the cause of one hou:'s discus- sion and it was fina'lv agreed to insert the words: ‘“‘An elector of the city and County of Fan Frsncisco.” Section 3, which dealt with contracts and franchises, bad this amenament added: He (the Mayor) chall have power to postpone final action up-n any franchise which may be passed by the Board of Supervisors until such proposed franchise shall be ratified or rejected by a mejority of the voters at the next general election. s WITH MASONIC RITES, Funeral Servics Over John McCord at Musonic Templs Yesterday, All that was mortal of the late John McCord was borne from the Masonic Temple yesterday to its lasi resting place in the Masonic C ‘metery. | The funeral services were conducted by A.

The Chinese Consul May Dis- charge His Mongolian Police. ¢ palltearers-were: C. S. k Commissioner Austin, rt. H. C. Somers, George P. T. J. Washington, H. H, Lynch Mauu n They Would Not Assist in Finding the Assailants of Priest Chow Kung. The eizht Chinese ‘“‘policemen,” who have served the Chinese Con-ul for some time past, are likely to lose their heads, so tospeak. They are accused of conduct ‘*un- becoming officers,”” and unless some- thing unforeseen happens they will be de- prived of their *'stars’’ in the next few days. The rather sudden determination to do away with the men dates back to the night of the i7th inst., when Chow Kung, a Chinese pr.est, was attacked by two highbinders, and, after being stabbea thirteen times, was robbed of considera- bie money and jewelry. Detectives Givson and Wren were de- talled to arrest the assailants, and after considershie irouble they apprehended 1wo well-known highbinders and charged them with the crime. When taken before their supposed vic- tim the iatter would not identity them, claiming that he was uuable to say whether or not they were the right men. Notwitbstanding the refusal 10 identify them tne detective found sufficient evi- | dence against them to warrant tneir being locked up, and they were taken to the City Prison and tieir names registered in the “smuil’’ book. After being informed of the assault the Cuinese Consul summoned his “volice- men’’ and ordered them to investizate tohe case with a view of ascericining whether or not the imprisoned Chine-¢ were t(he as-ailants of the wounded pries:. For some rea:on wh:ch is not clear 1o the Consul the “policemen,” instead of endeavoring to find out if the prisoners are the right men, threatened the priest with violence if he interfered with them. Tne unfortunate pries', it is claimed, fear- ing that they would kill him, agreed not 10 prosecute his assailants providing that they promised not to molest him. In some way the Consul learned that his “policemen’” had sealed the lips of the wounded priest, and he summoned the men before him. After cons:derable questioning ihe men admitted that they had no respect for the priest and an- nounced that they would not lend their assistance in establishing the identity of his_assailants. The Consul, it 13 said, seriously upbraided them for their con- duct, and threatened to ‘‘break” them if ihey persisted in shielding the suspects. Since then they have refused to assist the detectives in obtaining evidence against the impritoned Chinese, and openly announced that they would do all intheir power to protect them. The Consul is up in arms agrinst them, and it is expected that he will revoke their “‘commissions” in the next tew aays. Heretofore the Mongolian policemen have been of great assistance to the Con- sul as well as the regular police force in ferreting out crime commitied 1A the Chinese quarter. Why they refusea to act in the ca e of the wounded priest se ems strange except that they regard him as an *“'outcast,”” as one of their num- ber expressed DEATH BY MALPRAGTICE A Young Married Woman Pagses Away in a Doctor’s Cffice. The Coroner Stops the Funeral and Unearths a Very Serious Crime. The body of Mrs. Ida Coakley of Irving- ton, Alameda County, was stopped at the ferry at the foot ot Market sireet yester- day afternoon while being taken on board the ferry-boat by Undertaker Hagan of Valencia street, preparatory to being buried in the Irvington Cemetery. The order was telephoned to the Harbor Po- lice by Deputy Corcner McCormack from the office of the Chief of Police. Tre undertaker was aciing under au- thority of a dexth certificate issued by Dr. Samuel H. Hall of 14 McAll ster street, and countersigned by Assistant Ciy Physician McMurdo. It gave the cause of death as cardisc tneurism. Theau- topsy held in the afternoon at the Morgue aiscovered the fact that there was no heart trouble at all, bui that death had been caused by maipractice. Th. husband, J. Coakley, a farmer, told the Deputy Coroner that he brought his wife to Dr. Hal/'s office for treaiment for heart trouble. He had leit her alone with the doctor for a while lest Monday night, and when he returned, which was at 6 P. M, the womean wasdead. Aninquest will pe held. The matter has been piaced in the haunds of the police. Dr. McMurdo siates that the facts were misrepresented 1o him. An autopsy was heid by Dr. Gallagher last evening, and from his examination e found tiat death had resulted from blocd poisoning following an atiempied criminal operation.

FIGORING ON A (00D REFEREE Billy Delaney and Eddie Graney Will Select a Man Monday Night. Oaklanders Will Back Jeffries to Whip Choynski, Who Will Be a Favorite. If Jeffries Should Win He Will Be Matched to Fight Tom Sharkey. The managers of the pugilists Joe Choynski and Jim Jeffries will select a referee on Monday evening, and for the good of the sport it is koped that a man who thoroughly understands the game and who is reliable will be selected. Choynski said yesterday that he ex- pects to leave this city on Wednesday next for New Orleans, as he is scheduled by the Tulane Club of New Orleans to fight Alexander Greggains ten rounds on the evening of December 16. Greggains is daily looking for a letter from the secretary of the Tulane Club, which he expects will contain a first-class passenger’s ticket to the East. He hasan idea, however, that the club will not for- ward him his traveling expenses until 1t hears the result of Choynski’s dispute with Jeffries. In case the Los Angeles heavy-weight should win on Tue:day evening next, the proposed match be- tween Choynski and Gregzains may be de- clared off. The Oskland sports are very sweet on Jeffries and they will back him strongly to whip Choynski. Billy Delaney, who is managing Jeffries, is very confident that his charge will surprise many of the knowing ones. Dslaney is authority for the statement that Jeffries is a very much improved man since he fought Ruhling in | the Mec.unics’ Pavilion, and can now use both left and right to good advantage, Should the powerful heavy-weight from Los Angeles defeat Choynski he will be cffered good inducements to fight Tom Sbarkey. A contest between the sailor and Jeffries on merits should prove to bea very exciting event. The National Club is figuring on matel- ing Billy Gallagher and Frank McCoi- nell. ‘ihe last-named pucilist is a pupil of Alex Gregzains, and according to all| accounts he 1S a pretty tough customer. | allagher is_matched to fight Danny Needham in Vallejo some time in the lat- ter part of this month, and McConnell is booke: by the Acme Club of Oakland to fight Lon Agnew on the 16ih of De- cember.

Tom Sharkey d a few evenings ago that it Jackson was looking ior big game be would accommodate him. Sharkey hss now a swell bank account and can al- ford to make a side bet f say $1000 in case Jackson will take him on. There are a large number of sports in thi: city who would like to see Sharkey and Jackson at war, as the famous colored champion can b relied upon to give a good account of himself in any club so far as fighting is concerned. POLICE PARADE TO-DAY. The Annual Inspection to Take Place on Van Ness Avenue. The annual parade of the members of the Police Depariment will take place this afternoon. Chief Lees will bte in com- mand, assisted by Lieutenant George Birdsall as chief aid, Captain Wittman will have charge of the first batialion and Captain Spillane of the second.

Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dys- vepsia and Indigestion. Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study of stomach troubles, says: All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to completely digest the food eaten; no matter whether the trou- ble 1s acid, dysvepsia or sour stomach, belcning of wind, nervous dyspepsia or ioss of flesh and appetite; a person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thoroughly digest what is esten, and this can be done by a simple remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggravated cases with compliete succes:. The remedy isa combination of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets, and sold by druggists under the name of S.uart’s Dypepsia Tablets. One or two of these tabiets should be taken after meals, and allowed to disso’ve in the mouth, and mingling with the food in the stomacn digests it completely bafore it has time to ferment, decay and sour. On acturl experiment one grain of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods, It is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known by people generally it would be a national blessing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics, and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origiu to imperfect digestion and nutri- tion. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine. But a 50-cent rackage will do more real good for a weak stomach than $50 worth of patent medicines, and a s0n has the satisfac- uon of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach,” whicn he does not know when widely advertised patent m.dici‘rjles are Ilsed.ll All druggists <ell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets; full-sized packazes 50 cu{m‘”p A little book on cause and cure of stomach troubles mailed free by address- ing the Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich, REONION AFTER HALF A GENTURY Marshall’s Companions Wil Probably See the Golden Jubilee.

Four men, their bodies bent and faces furrowed by the cares of life and passing time, riding before the Society of California Pioneers, will be one of the most interest- ing, if not striking, features of ti.e Golden Jubilee procession, to be held in thiscity on January 24.

Johnsion, ars the sole snrviving companions of Marshailand were with him when he d scovered the shining bit of gold at Coloma. They now live in distant lands and far from one another, but they will be brought together on the day of the Jubilee, perhaps for the last time. Some time ago Mr. Hittell, pioneer, author and historian, wrote to Mr. Bigler | in au endeavor to ascertain the where- | abouts and condition of health of his com- panions. The following answer, written in a hand that portrayed the writer's age and fesble condition, shortly arrived: ST. GEORGE, Utah, Oct. 9, 1897. Dear Mr. Hittell: Yours of the 3d inst. to hand, in which 1 learn that the Society of ifornia Pioueers is considering the project of celebrating the 24th of January next, the | semi-centennial anniversary of the discovery | of goid at Coloms. 3 You wish me to glve you a list of the sur- vivors, with their precise names, postoffice ad- dressand any information 1 have in regard to their health and strengtb.

PHILAF A, PA It is a well-known fact that tailors experience more suffering from headaches | than any other class of industrial workers. The constant buzz of the sewing machines and the heavy atmosphere caused by the heating apparatus used for{ pressing and sponging clothing are responsil ble for this in 2 measure, A well-known: merchant tailor of Philadelphis, a prominent man in his community, says: ‘*For! over ten years I was a ‘presser,’ then I became a partner of the establishment with? which I am now connected. Having charge of the pressing and ironing department, I am compelled to spend most of my time in a room that is overheated and where the atmosphere is very heavy. This resulted in giving me frequent headaches, and I! sometimes suffered great torture. The medicines preseribed by my physician hrought: me no relief, and I was on the verge of despair when a friend advised me to try Ripans Tabules. I did so, and the result was that the first two Tabules wrought an almost magic change. I escape headaches now, and no matter how hot the room is one Tabule does away with all suffering.
