Its purposes, as set forth, are to “buy, sell, take, hold, own, lease, hire and otherwise deal in real es- tate and personal property and to im- prove the same, borrow mrney, mortgage, pledge or_hypothecate real and personal property,” and to deal in stocks of cor- porations and other corporation propert The charter 1s for fifty years, and the principal place of busine. given as San Francisco. The five incorporators, who are also named as the directors for the first year, are P. J. Martin, O. M. Tupper, C. 8. Benedict, F. M. Meigs ana Frederick B. Burnell, all of om, with the excep- vion of Tupper, whose resiaence is given as Oakland, resiia in San Francisco. The capital stock is §250,000, divided into 10,000 shares of the par value of $25 a share. Each of the five directors has subscribed for forty shares, making $5000 actnally subscribed. On this limited capital it is the purpose of the organizers to enter into an obligation with the city calling fora total expenditure of 0,000 in ten years, not inciuding insuran which on the propertv in question is 3 per cent. Mr. Martin, who 1s a real estate dealer at 18 Post sireet, was the only one of the five directors scen yesteraay, and he ap- peared to have but a vague knowledge of the company, its officers or the wroperty it sought to gain control of. He contessed that he did not even know the names of his associates, asked by arepresenta- tive of Tue Carv for information as to the new corporation, but was positive they were all men of good standing in financiai circles. 3 Asked if he had made an inspection of the property, Mr. Martin said he had not, but had been as wied that it was in fairly good condition, with the exception of the plumbing in some of the buildings, which he thought could be r paired for hait of what his company had guaranteed to spend for improvements. The gentleman was of the opinion that the company's bid was ratner high, but the next hizhest bid was only $50 a month less, and the company was prepared to carry out its agreemeni. He said that on Market street rents were holding their own, but on all the othersireets there was a downward tendency. He aid not be- lieve, however, that the tenants of the Lincoln School’ property would be witling to stand any increase in their rent. David Rich, a member of the real estate firm of A. J. Rich & Co., exnressed sur- prise at the bias for ihe lease, and said if the highest was accepted somebody would suffer. “Our firm did not bid for the lease,” said Mr. Rich, “‘despite statements to the contrary, but some of the tenants are customers of ours and we have a thorough knowiedwe of the property and every building upon it. When it was first pro- posed to lease the property for ten vears, myseif and brother discussed the proposi- tion, and we xo6n concluded 1t was no: worih over $30,000 2 month, but we knew 1t coud not be securea for that amount. The buildings are in bad condition, and when all are occupied the total rental will notexceed §41,000 a month, The plumb- 1ng is in a feartul state, the roofs all need repairing, while every building ought to be paintea throughbout and the walls papered or whitened. ““The insurance on this property is 3 per cent, and as the builaings are of wood and within the fire iimit-, the loss by fire of any of them means the rebuilding with brick or the total loss of revenue. Ifany of the buldings should burn any iime after the jease hud run 1our or five years, 1t would be useless for the lessee 10 re- build, for the cost would be much greater than any 1ental he could collect before the expiration of his lease. *1 know of three gentlemen who made eem to be borne out | | a thorough inspection of all the proper:y, two of tbem empioving an arcaitect for the purpose, with a view of bidding on it, but after they had concluded their exami- nation they decline:l to bid. “They found that none of the tenants would consent to the slightest increase in their rent, while some were clamoring for a reduction from w .at they are now pay- ing, and with good reason, too. Taking the highest bid presented last night, with the insurance and incidenta’s, it means an outlay of not less than $4600 a montl Where the lessee 1s to get Lis money back is more than I can see.” One of the me:mbers of the firm of A. J. Prager & Son, one of the principal tenants, said yesterday that he had heard many rumors ot a “job”’ in the leasing of thr proper nd ne had talked with othe- tenants on the subject. It was sugoested that the tenants come bine and put in a blanket bid, but the movement had fallen through. If the intending lessees hoped to reise the rent Mr. Pragzsr thought they would have a sorry time of it, for he said the buildings were all in wretched cendition and not one of the tenants would pay increased | rent. He saia be had putin a bid for a ten years’ lease of the premises occupied by his firm at as h rental as they | conid afford to pay and if his bid were re- jected and a b anket lease aulhorized they would move rather than pay any more than the amount of their bid. | Taking into consideration the condition | of the property, it would appear that the highest bids are exc ssive and that the | 1d of Education would do well to ciose | the deal at once, but it does not seem pos- sibie that any business man would rush | into such a transaction blindly, despite Mr. Martin's s the whole aspect. Tne board meets in committee of the whole at 10 o’clock this mornng to con- | sider the bids on the Lincoln School prop- erty and will make recommendaiions re- rding the least that will be accepied. ement, 5o for that reason | affair has a most peculiar ST.

J. W. Fred, a young man from Yolo County, was found dead in his bed in room 65 of the New Western Hotel, yesterday morning, by J, K. Sutton, the porter. The attention of the bellboy had been attracted by the odor of illumi- ing gas and he notified Mr. Sutton of the fact. The vorter raised a small window looking out on the hall and entered. The deceased was lying partly on his side, With bis arms crossed on his breast. There was nothing unusual in the condition of the room. The clothing of the aeceased was hung up and no writing was found that would tend to show that the deceased nad taken his own life. His death was caused by gas asphyxiation. The deceased arrived on the 10:45 A. w. train from Woodland, on Wednesday and went in the bus to the hotel. Alter registering his name he deposited $50 in the safs and was shown to his room. In the afternoon he lighted the single gas jet and went awsy after having blown it out. At least thatis the supposition, for at 3o’clock in the afteruoon the chambermaid found the room full of gas and the gas turned on but not burning. When Fred returned he was cautioned by the chambermaid and the porter, after Mr. Wazd, one of the hotel proprieiors, bad warned him of the danzer. At 6 o’clock in the evening the gas was burning and the deceased was reading the Bible. The window being open the bellboy poked his head in aud cautioned Fred not to blow out the gas, at the same time pointing to the stopcock aud telling him that that was the contrivance with which the light was extinguished. “If you blow it out you'll wake up in the morning and find yourself dead,” said the beilboy. **Oh, that's all right,” was the response of the deceased. In the morning when he was found dead the stopcock was turned fully on. Letters found in the trunk of the decea<ed show tbat he came from Grafton, Yolo County, and that he had relatives in Concord, Mo. He Had No Cause for D:=spsndency. WOODLAND, Dec. 9.—J. W. Fred, reported as asphyxiated at the New Western Hotel, has been working the year past for E. J. Tharp of Sutter County. He was a native of Missouri, 21 years oid. He came to Californiaa year ago. His father resides in the East. His mother is dead. He has no relatives nearer than Auxvasse, Caiaway County, Missouri, He quit work for Tharp a week ago and came to Woodland snd stopped five days with Mrs. Eillen Gray, an old friend of the family in Mis<curi. He left here Wednesday morning and said he was £0ing to get work'in San Francisco. He nad $30 or $60. He bought a new suit of clothes here. Mrs. Gray says he did not commit suicide.

This order was issued at the request of the condemned man. John Crosetti, a brother of Venanz Crosetti, Ras taken great interest in the prosecuiion of Allender, and it has been his greatest wish to witness the hanging of his brother’s murderer. Twice before he obtuined invitations to the hanging of Allender, but each time the law inter- vened and prevented his revencetul wish being fulfilied. Crosetti and another rela- tive received invitations to the execution | from Warden Hale Wednesday, but late this afternoon Sheriff Lyndon received the following dispatch: “Sun Quentin, Dec. 9.—J. H.

MORE DAIRIES TOJBE TABOO:D. | Consumers Becoming Timid About Buying Uninspected Milk, CALL LAWYERS T0 NELP THEM. Venders of Diseased Dairy Products Discovering a Marked Loss of Patronage. The meeting of the Oakland Board of Health to-night promises to be one of the | most interesting ever held in the city across the bay. Itis the purpose of the doctors who have been making a fight against the da rymen who refuse to have their cows inspected to renew the war in no uncertain way and to add the names of a few prominent dairvmean to the list of milk seilers already under the ban. The following dairymen ara now selling milk from cattie that have never been in- spected, milk which the doctors say is more or less full of the germs of tubercu- losis: BLATR’S] RANCH, 3 AIRY. ERSEY DAIRY. JOSEPH AND JACOB LO LAMP & ¥ E A. RAYE A. C. FAY. There has been a great deal of discus- sion of the milk question at various hotels and restaurants since the publication of the fact that milk from the foregoing dairies, if the doctors be richt in their | ndemnation, is not fit fer human con- | : sumption. Many people are asking 'heir hotel proprietors where they bay miik An instance arose yesterday whersin a promivent citizen deciined to go io the Metropole until that hotel assured him that it had ceased buy from an unin- spected dairy. The Fabiola Hospital di- rectors passed a resolution a day or two ago wherein it was provided that no milk will be bought save from insp-cted dairtes. The fact that nearly 500 chilaren have died in Qakland of diseases due to bad milk since January, 1843, has aroused pub. lic interest and given the doctors confi- dence tnat they will yet win their fight against uninspected catile. “I think there should be a law whereby the inspection of the cattle is paid for by the public at iarge,” said Dr. H. E. Mui- ler yesterday. It is not right to force the <airymen to do it, but, on the other nand, they should not be allowed to sell bat milk, even if it cost them ten times as much as the regular fee to have their cat- tle inspected.”’ Dr. Dunn of the Health Department said yesterday: *Ifis a fact that the people of this city, as well as the doctors, do not properiy understand the dama e done by the sale of miltk from diseased c:tde, but 1t is a fact that from one-seventh to one-fifth of the deaths in this Stateare from consump- tion, and a large percentage of these deaths are due to bad miik. *“‘We expect to get right after the dairies until the law is complied with. Some new names are almost sure to bs added to the list to-morrow night. We are also watching to see that the cattle boucht by the sound dairies are inspected. Where changes in the herd occur we have to watch carefuily.” The dairymen will probably propose that the milk be pasteurized and that they thus be aliowed to escape the loss of their bad cattle. It is possible that Attorneys Moore and Frick may appear at the meeting of the Board of Health and protest against the condemnation of their clients, the dairy men. The fact that the recaicitrant dairy- men have hired lawyers seems to indicate that they are feeling the effect of the agi- tation and that they wiil be driven to in- spection as & remedy for the loss of busi- ness. It isn’t always conven- ient to ask the doctor about every little ail- ment. Even if you ask him by telephone he will charge you for consulta- tion.

While a sick-spell is one of the easiest things in the world to accumulate, it is equally easy to remain well by the exercise of a little care, and the use of the proper medicines. Constipation is the great ** first cause ™ of sickness. The clog- ged and inactive digestive organs poison_ the Rlood with all manner of noxions impurities, which 1 turn are deposited in all the tissues and organs of the body. If this condition is neg- lected, a sick-spell is the consequence. It is toavoid this.
