Mr. Wentzel had been complaining for some time of a short- ness of breath, which he attribated to asthma, and a week ago remained at home from his business to rest up. Tuesday evening his physician insisted that he should remain at home for another day and gaye nim medicine for his trouble, whicn he sa:d came from a heart compli- cation. He could not rest in bed a1l Tues- day night and yesterday morning com- plamed of great thirst. About9 o’clock e iaid down on the bed and dropped to sleep, from which he never awakened.

The Issue Will Be Manifested at To-Day’s Meeting of the Convention, President Crocker Prophesies That Wine Will Be Oheaper Than Ever This Year. The fight is now fairly on at the wine- growers’ corvoration convention, but the election of directors to-day will in all probability setile it once and for all. The meeting was opened in the Cham- ber of Commercs hall yesterday morning, and almost every stockholaer was either there in person or rejresented by a proxy. The session was largeiy taken up with a discussion of the old question as to whether it wou.d be advisable to come out openly and fight the association, and if so, by what means. The discussion was long and heated, as therule of free speech is held sacred by this body, and each | member felt in duty bound to say some- thing, or try to say sometbing, and none could say him nay. Unfortunately, how- ever, these gems of oratory will be for- ever 10st to the world, as the meeting was held behind ciosed doors. Theargument cuiminated with the adoption of a reso- Jut on o the effect that the corporation, having failed to find purchasers among the San Francisco dealers, would go oat into the markets of the world and enver into competition with anybody and every- body in order to get rid of its proaucts. This matter being disposed of the real ue 0/ the day was taken up. It wasthe old question of having men on the board of directors who are identified wi h tne trad . of much desuitory conversation between the stockholders, the majority of whom contend that 1t is a bad policy, inasmuch as there is nothing to prevent these men from entering into competition with the corporation and using the information which as directors they would po-sess as a means of fattening heir own private purses. Two of the present board are en- gaged in private trade alreaay, and it was against them in particular that the wordy missiles ‘wers directed. On the other hand the present ruling spirits contend that’ it is more advisable to hove men acquainted with the trade and experience. with its methods to con- duct the coming fight with the association and outside producers than novices or men with very littie business experience. Beyond a general discussion no action was taken, but the election to-day will tell the story. The direciors in the past have been very powerful end many of the stocklolders complain bitterly that they dn nothing but re-elect thewsslves and then conduct the corporation as pleases them. The effori to throw down the old crowd and put new men in will be a strong one and the fact that it was de- cided to go into business is an indication that the stockholders have at last got the upper hand The annual reports of the officers were also heard yesterday. President H. J. Crocker’s was a long one and contained a complete statement of what was done during the past year. He said in part as follows: You are aware of the disagreements that existed between the corporation and the Wine Dealers’ Association and the causes that led to my election as president by your board of directors. Since my election I have carefully endeav- ored toactin behalf of your interests and With the dealers toward an amicable and peaceful adjustment of such differences as ex:isted. In this I was assured by the presi- dentof the Wine Dealers’ Association at the first meeting I had witn him, which was the day after my election, that I would have his hearty co-operation. 1 very soon ascertalned that the reported offer by the dealersof 18 cents for a portion of our '96 wines was not of a bona-fide nature, and even )i it had been it was before my election; and Mr, Morgan_has since stated that hie reiused 1o iake an offer 1 made him to sell at 17 cents per galion, My idea is that the corporation will have to market its own holdings, and that it is in posi- tion to do so. The price of wine is now about 17 cents, including bariel, £ 0. b, Ssu Fran- cisco, and the corporation Cannot ai present expect to get more for it; in fact, Mr. Morgan stated that when the corporation went into the market the pric:s would g0 wower, and this yOUu must expect. Owing to the enormous yield of wine year prices would nataraily 96 low, but in o of our entering the markel they will undoubt- ediy be lower than ever. this ann pri been my cal steps be taken until we had presented the above iacts to you, We have not entered the market with our wine for two reasons—first, that, owing to the unqualified financial ass st~ ce and the iudu gence of our members, we bave be:n enabied iogarneraud boid toe crop; sud secondly, that we desired 10 leave to the new board of directors you may elect & position Iree from Any ehtang ements.

Noouan, 1017-1078 Ms slou Th s matter nas been the subject | ALL NIGHT HE LAY IN AGONY Henry Harris Nearly Lost His Life on the San Rafael Local. Helpless Beside the Track and Suffering Terribly From a Crushed Foot. Two Trains Passed Him, but He Failed to Attract the Attention of Any One. Henry Harris, a porter with P. Berwin & Co., met with a terrible accident on the San Francisco and North Pacific Railwav last Tuesday evening. He took the6: P. M. boat from this side and on reaching Tiburon boarded the regular train. He began to feel sick at his stomach and went out on the platform of the smoking- car. Rounding a curve the unfortunate man was thrown off the car and the train passed over his right foot. Two toes were torn off, the heel was badly gouged and the bones of the foot were crushed. After draggiug himself from the track Harris began calling for assistance, but he was far away from any help. Then he tried to hobble along, but fainted away from vain. When te came to conscious- ness again the stars were shining, and he was so weak from loss of blood that he could not move. He again ocalled for assistance, but finding that he was only exnausting himself and doing no good he gave 1t up in despair. About midnight the freight train from Ukianh came along, and Harris sat up and trantically waved his hat and yelled until he was hoarse, but no one heard him. Tne train thundered by «nd the unfortu- nate man was again alone, Another train came alon- and again did Harris try to make the engineer or conductor hear, butall in vain. Then he gave up and rem~mbered no more until he recov- ered consciousness on the steamer boand for San Francisco. The engineer of the first train from San Rafael for S8an Francisco saw the appar- ently lifeless body of a man lying beside the track, and at once stopped hisengine; then finding that Harris was still alive he made extra time to Tiburon. On reaching this side the wounded man was taken to the city front Receiving Hospital. In order to save the man’s ite it was found necessary to amputate the foot. Wuen Harris has sufficiently re- covered from the shock he will be removed to his home &t 1210 Buchanan street. “I was not feeling very well,” said Harris yesterday, ‘‘so I went out on the platiorm of the car. While rounding a curve the jerk threw me off, and remembered nothing more untii I awoke in excruciat- ing agony be-ide the track. During the whole of that night I suffered horribly. Several times I would have taken my own lile if there had been anything at hand with which todo the deed. The wonder to me is that 1 was not killed outright in- stead of losing my foot."" THE ADVANOE OF MAN. Irving M. Scott Speaks to the Socialist Labor Party. An interesting lecture was delivered last evening in the Turk-street Temple, under the auspices of Liberty Branch, Socialist Labor perty, by Irving M. Scott, on the *Advance of Man.” He said in part: ““The highest and noblest calling and the only duty of the Government is the upliiting and educating of the people. Man bas always risen irom the savage 1o the higher state—never descending from a bighto a lower one, First he was a cave-dweller, living, perhaps, with some of the less savage of the wild animais, and his first invention was in all proba- bility the bow and arrow. These procured him food and clothes, and his nex: step was the invention of the tribal govern- ment. “About 600 dyuru before Christ the Greeks invented akind of democratic gov- ernm-nt; then came Jesus of Nazareth preaching the democracy of religion and the rights of man, and 600 years later the Germans invented their social government which was carried and spread evervwhere. A few years later there was established on these shores a government nearer to the ideal than any other. Itis only ignor- ance which keeps us in our present posi- tion, and education can lift us out of it. You can see the wisdom of the fathers in stablishing the public schools and mak- ing them free. “Note the great advance from the time when one man claimed a divine right to ruie until the present time, when we have the President sitting 1h the executive chair, where he is placed by the vote of his fellow-countrymen. But it took ages 10 arrive at this stage. Three bundred years ago, when Queen Elizabeth reigned, the laborers were clad in garments made of twisted siraw, and the floor of her Majesty’s reception-room was carpeted with new-mown hay. Then came the mechanic, and every luxary wohich we now -n)oy is the product of some in- ventor.’ Mr. SBcott’s address was followed with short stpeeches by M. W. Miercius, A, F, Strawn-Hamiiton, Dr. W. M. Willy and Joun Larsen. During the course of the evening the Bocialist Maennerchor ren- dered several choruses, which were well received. The lecture next Wednesday wilt be on the “Philosophy of Misery” by A. F. Sirawn-Hamilton, SAILOR SHARKEY EYING JEFFRIES The National Club Is in Hopes of Consummat- ing This Match. Choynski and Greggains Wil.l Not Fight Before the New Orleans Club, Jim McDonald Will Referee Needham-Gallagher Battle in Vallejo This Evening. the George Green, the pugilist,who whipped Owen Ziegler by whatIs termed a solar- plexus punch, felt very sore at heart yes- terday when he read in an evening paper a letter, which it is presumed was written in Philadelpnia by Hugh Kennedy, late manager for Owen Ziegler, and addressed to a prominent member of the Olympic Ciub. Tue letter states in brief that Ziegler “laid down’’ to Green for a sum of money, and thet Kennedy, despising Ziegler ways of doing business, quit him in dis- gust. When asked if he had anything to say in reference to the Kennedy letter, Green replied: *“1f Kenunedy speaks the truth, Ziegler mu-t certainly be a cur. I cannot say what Zie:ler may bave planned in his fight witt me to make some sure money, but I can say positively that the blow I vave Ziegler would have stopped any man. I tried it on two or three men at the Olympic Club, with the result that each «ne jell the instant the blow was landed. Walter Wateon was prese: when I stopped onz of the boxers. If Zie ler quit or laid down to me, iiow isit| that his friends did not play the mutuels, wh ch paid big money from one to five i Tounds? g Z egler, 1 guess, does not wish his friends to think that he was w:ipped | squarely, and prefers to be branted asa taker rather than have his record be- smirched by a knock-out. Al I can say isthat I fonght towi ndif Ziegler laid down the news iy certainly uew 10 me.” Green is in bhopes of arrangin - a match with Tommy Ryan. The Nationa! Ciub has wired Ryan good inducements and an answer isdaxily expected. Joe Choyn-ki wiil remain until he is off=red a substantial pur: y some of the Eastern ciubs. He said last evening that his match with Greggains | before # New Orieans club is off. | “The d rectors waited until my match | with Jeffries was over and then they of- | ferred a $1000 purse,” said Choynski, which, oi course, I refused to accept. The New O-icans clubs are pretty cheap affairs, and, to be candid, I think this city is good enough for me. I expect to on a match with Jack:on, or possibly Sharkey, before long."’ Choynski would not express an opinion | as to whicu of the two men, Sharkev or Jeffries, is the better fighter. He thinks | that a contest between them would be very interesting. But judging from the way he spoke of Jeffries he has a wholesome re- gard for the big fellow and would doubt- less tip him to whip Sharkey if they were booked to fight before a reieree who could be relied upon to give an honest decision. The decision that was rendered by Billy Eimer when he called the Dempsey-Mc- Cue fight a draw was not spoken of favor- ably y sterday by those who take an in- terest in contests pugilistic. One sport w 0 had money on Marty McCue said that E mer cal ed the match a draw purposely to “even ur’’ matters with some of the Oakiand sports who won money on Mc- Cue when he fouzht before an Oakland club recertly. McCue certainly out- pointed Dempsey lasi Tuesday night, ana should have had the decision in his favor. Jim McD nald will referee the Needham and Gallagher fizht which will take place this evening in Vallejo. The National Club is trying its best to consummate a match between Jeffries and Sharkey, and if the sailor will consent to fight under the Nationai’'s auspices the sports will have an opportunity of sizing up big game, A DESTITUTE FAMILY. Patrick MeCann, His Wife and Eight Children Starving. Out among the ruins ot a burnt-down cottage on Arlington street Patrick Mc- Cann, his wife and eight children, all in or under their teens, are waiting for some merciful hand to come and lift them at least into the commonest comforts of life. Two weeks ago Sunday fire destroyed their home, its furnishings and what lit- tle in the shape of provisions they pos- sessed. Since then they have been living on the erusts that kindly neighbors have been able to give, and the ten of them have tried to sleep at night in an 8x6 room, through which the winds are free to come and go. The father of the familv is 68 yearsol1. On account of a constitutional disorder Le has been unable to do any work for seven years past. This is true of his wife as well. She is a little, thin woman, about ten years younger than her husband, and she has lost one of hier eyes. Their oldest daughter claims to be 21 and married. Sheis in & delicate condi- tion. Her husband, she states, 1s a sailor named Mclutosh, one of the crew of the coasting schooner Eureka which s three weeks azo for Oregon and Washing- ton ports. McIntosh 1t is claimed has been the sole support of the fawily, now that everything they had hai ruined and him away they fina themselves absoiutely destitute. The remains of what had been their dwelling-place presents all the features that the imagnation would aitribute to the abode of mi-ery and starvation. A neighbor, Mrs. Crouch, has given one of the buys a home, but can do nothing for the other members of the family, The Youths” Directory, the Boys’ and - Girls’ Aid Society and tbe Kureka Society have been notitied of the case and will give some relief. John Kuaggs, aged 87, and his wife, aged 69, were lound yesterday 1n a de- serted tenement at 12 Clementina street without food, coal or proper clothing. Knaggs at one time wa . very comforts ably off in New South Wales, Australin, baving considerable money in a bank there at interest. In 1893 the bank fai ed and Knages was leéft penniless almost. He came here with his wife and settied on Folsom street. The old couple have no money to buy food and their stock of matches is all but exhausted. In the midst of their despair, they declare that they will not ouse nor the City and County Hospilal unless carried there against their will.. Knaggs is evidently a man of some education. —_—————— Goebel’s Fourth Lecture. Che course of lectures on “Faust” whioh is being delivered by Professor Julius Goebel of the Lelana Stanford University at the Ger- man Branch of the Young Men's Christian Assoclation is proving to be especially inter- esung and instructive. The attendance has been good at every lecture and the audiences have been highly pleased. The topic of the lecture this evening will be “Faust and Mephistopheles,” and as Professor Goebel is & master in the interpretation of Goethe's work a grand discourse may be cxpected. SOUTHERN PACIFIC TAXES, Over $1,000,000 in Cash Paid Out of the Company’s Treasury in the Past Fifteen Daye, Daring the past fifteen days the South- ern Pacific Company has paid out in casa from the office of its treasurer in this city over $1,000,000 for State, county and mu- nicipal taxes. This amount includes §154 628 85 paid to the different counties of Nevada for a whole year’s taxes in advance; $300,000 paid to the State Treasurer at Sacramerto, a firet installment or half of the annual State tax; between $47000 and $50,000 paid to California cities as a first install- ment or half the annual municipa’ tax and nearly $700,000 paid among forty-six counties of California as a first install- ment or half the companv’s anpual county taxes. The first installmentof the municipal taxes paid the city of Oakland alone was $9577 35. The total amount paid in taxes by the Southern Pacific Company this year will exceed that of last year by several thou- sands of dollars, as the rate is a litue higher.. In 1896 the total amount paid out of the Southern Pac fic treasury for all taxes for last vear was §2,027,697 91, which included $11,150 in taxes paid to the Hawaiian Government. Tax Agent E. Biack Rvan of the South- ern Pacific Company practically com- pleted his work yesterday. He remarked, after a casual review of some of his re- pOrts, that it is one of the ironies of taxa- tion in California that Stanford Univer- ity had to pay, as a first instaliment, 22 07 as a special school tax for the sup- port of the public school at Palo Alto. Following are the figures farnished by Mr. Ryan for the first installment paid on county taxes: Contra Costa, §2607 59 $3629 Sacrsmen o, rvada, $3182 98 5! 50; San Josquin, £5616 80 Placer, Mendoeino, lasn, $1 $2622 6. 2 ; M 748°04; Ma Kings, $303: Los Angel Ban 5; Sonoma, & Francisco, 28. bese are the year's taxes paid already to the different counties of Ne- vada: NEW TO-DAY.
