£l | | MANY CLATMS MILL UNPAID Financial Crisis Confronts San Jose’s Coun- cil. Reckless Manner of Incurring Indebtedness Causes the Trouble. Several Funds Meet Bills Contracted Against City Inadequate to Them. Special Di: tch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Dec. 19.—Owing to the | careless and reckless manner in which | the various members of the Common Council have incurred indebtedness against the city a financlal crisis has | been created. At the meeting of the Council to-morrow night the situation will be sed and an attemptmade to straighten out the financial affairs of the municipality. As matters now many honest claimants are in of not having their demands While about $30,000 worth of claims were passed by the Council at its last | meeting there yet remains $20,000 worth to be acted upon. The delay in reference to the unapproved bills is | due to the failure of Councilman Dit- tus, one of the two members of the | claims committee, to attach his nature to them. His reason for wi holding his approval is, he says, that many of these claims were created without due authorization. This, how- ever, is denied by the other members of the Council. There is every pros- pect that this diffe: ce of opinion will be manifested at to-morrow | sion in an emphaticmanner. | no question that there are ionable bills now on file | Clerk awaiting action On the other hand larger portion of them is night's T Counci the the much im that will come up ation is that of Mabury & contractors who built the et relief sewer.

Five Candidates Take ;}re Degree in the Selma Temple. SELMA, Dec. 19.—One of the most notable events in the history of the Masonic lodge here was the meeting of last night, when five candidates were raised to the Master Mason de- gree. They were Edward Pugh, John H. Pugh, Uriah Pugh, George Salee and George Leon. Three were sons of J. M. Pugh of this place. The work W done by th@ officers of the sev- eral visiting lodges—those of Fresno, Tulare and Hanford. Among the notables present were Distriet inspector J. L. Gilbert, Past Grand Lecturer J. W.

Martin Julian Announces the | Champion’s Change of Front. | Will Confer With Dan Stuart This | Week to Arrange for Another Battle. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—Martin Julian, manager for Bob Fitzsimmons, stated | in an interview to-day that the lanky champion had changed his mind and would again meet ex-Champion Cor- bett in a prize fight. Fitzsimmons was non-committal, refusing to confirm or deny the story and contenting himself with declaring that he had not said | that he would fight Corbett again. | Julian’s statement was sufficiently em- | phatic, however, to indicate that he | confidently expected the men to meet again. | “Some day before very long we will | give Corbett another chance,” he said. “No, not now, that is a certainty; but before long, how long I cannot say.” | Asked if that was not a conce: on the part of Fitzsimmons, Julian re- plied that it was not, as that idea had been in the mind of Fitzsimmons for some time. It is announced that Dan Stuart, who managed thetCarson City battle, will meet Fitzsimmons and Julian here this week and endeavor to arrange for a meeting between the big men for next summer.

In the run down ! rrah Go On, Prom- ise Me, Glenbrook, Tipperary Little Delight, Mission Boy, Skylight, A g Rockette, Montana, Lilly T, Elco and National and Local Organiza- Ingleside were the winners. The winners of the first ties were: Promise M Tipperary Lass, Little Delight, Skylight, Lilly T and Elco. When it camé to the conclusion of the second ties the only ones left were | Promise Me, Little Delight and Elco. Promi: Me defeated Little Delight, and Elco ran a bye. In the final Promise Me defeated El- co, the talent putting up ten to one on the brindle dog. | One of the greatest runs of the day was between Promise Me and Arrah se two dogs had been slat- s for a match race, and when fate threw them together to-day the friends of each gathered around | the pool boxes. Heenan gave them an | even start, and for yards before they | reached the hare one could have cov- ered them both with a pillow slip, but just before the critical moment Prom- se Me shot ahead like a rocket and gained two points on the turn. He helped himself later on, while the Hi- bernian got down to good work and made two turns. That was all there was in it for him, however, as Prom- ise Me seemed to get second wind, and from that time on had all his own way until the kill. Next Sunday all dogs which have never won first or second prizes will be run, and the prospects are for a | full entry card. tions Interested in the Outcome. Preliminary Practice Develops Clever Work on the Part of the Rival Teams. There was a large commercial travelers at Recreation Park yesterday to watch the repre- sentatives of the National Protective Association and the Pacific Coast Commercial Travelers indulge in pre- liminary practice for their great game on Thursday next. Both nines appeared on the field in vari-colored uniforms. When the spectators had become accustomed to the striking shades they began to bet- ter appreciate the clever plays made. The w those men sped after the elusive sphere would have done the heart of the average crank good. High | balls were captured with ease, and brilliant one-hand stops were as fre- quent as orders to a clever salesman. As a beautiful trophy has been do- nated by Green Bros., the teams are | doing their utmost to win. No amount of work seems to tire them. Every evening the men indulge in gymnastic exercises, and their prepa- ration for the game is similar to that v | of the two universities preparing for 1 N[ | their annual contest.

Several other tenants in the building had Narrow_escapes. The Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Company was one of the largest in the world, and being Christmas sea- son carried an immense stock. One- half of the stock had been placed in the two large vaults and saved, but the rest, as well as the building and its fixtures, was totaliy destroyed. So fierce was the fire that not a dol- lar's worth of salvage was taken out. The Model Cloak Company, in the northeast corner of the building, was wiped out, sustaining a loss of $50,000, on which there is an insurance of three-fourths. At 7 o'clock the stockholders of Mermod & Jaccard held a meeting to consider arrangements for opening up in temporary quarters. ———— One great name emerges from the Dreyfus muddle.

CONCOSTO.” POLITICS IV CHILE ARE SADLY MIXED Attempts to Form a New Cabi- 1 net Have Not Been Suc- cessful. Parties That Formed a Coalition Ac- cused of Scheming Against the Country’s Interest. Special dispatch to The Call. VALPARAISO, Dec. 19.—Politics in Chile are sadly mixed. Since the resignation cf the Cabinet, which was due to the coalition of the Government Liberals, Conservatives and Balma- cedists there have been several at- tempts to form a new one, but all ef- forts in this direction have gone for naught. The coalition of the three | parties was based on an agreement to give to each party two members of the new Cabinet. Senor Isinall Tocornal undertook to form a new Ministry, and failed be- cause of the refusal of the Government Liberals to abide by the agreement, | they being willing to give only one | member of the Cabinet each to Balma- | cedists and Conservatives. Then Se- | nor Pedro Montt undertook to form a Ministry, but was persona non grata | to certain political leaders. ana there- fore he failed. Senor Montt was bitterly attacked by the press, and President Errazuriz was criticised by even his own organs for choosing him. Scheming against the interests of the country was charged, and the President was ac- cused of betraying his party. The President has had several conferences with the leaders of the three parties. but so far as I can learn he has ar- rived at no decision as to whomhe will select to form a ministry. A big mass meeting of working men was held here yesterday to protest | against the Government’s policy of | refusing all offers to build more rail- way lines, cars and locomotives at home. The speakers demanded that such work be done in order to ‘give employment to those who need dc to support their familiés. A resolution embodying the sense of the meeting was forwarded to the Government at Santiago. L Bushnell dlerts Walloped. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 19.—The Gilt Edge team to-day wiped up the dia- mond with the Bushnell-Alerts,winning the game by a score of 23 to 1. The only run made by the Alerts was in the first inning.

Grand Jurors Snook and Turpin, who were instrumental in having a pretty warm report made against the office of the City and County Attorney, have | been severely criticized by those fami- | liar with the work of that department. These jurors signed a report recom- | mending that the office be abolished. If what Auditor Broderick and other | officers say is true it is a plain case of the rank errors made by the cobbler when he leaves his last. They say there is not a municipality in the Union with such an officer. Attorney Creswell shed: on the report, and his verdict accounts for the animus of the jurors. He say “Mr. Snook was angry, 1 presume, be- | cause he wanted me to appoint a man | named Abbey, a horseman, to the | Registrar’s office. 1 could not do it. Mr. Turpin had a suit against the city and our office defeated him. I pre- | sume that is the reason he wants the office abolished. These men came to me and asked for a written report or' the affairs of my office. I made a brief one, saying that things were all right. They never assumed to make | any investigation of my office. Any re- | port, or pretended report, b d on| an investigation is grossly unjust.” According to the last figures issued | by the office of the City and County | Attorney, more than half a million dol- lars have been saved to the city in lawsuits against the city during the | past five years, while fully a million | dollars’ worth of suits have been won i in the same time. From January, 1893, | to June, 1897, seventeen suits were | commenced by the city and 434 against it. VICTIM OF DEADLY G@as. Felix_ Keany, a Retired Wagon- Maker, Snatched From the Jaws of Death. Felix Keany, a retired wagon; maker, living, at 216 Fulton street, | narrowly escaped being a victim to| the deadly gas now being manufac- | tured in this city. | He retired Saturday night about 11 | o’clock, and in turning off the gas in the kitchen he accidentally turned it half on again. He slept in a room off | the kitchen, the doar of which he left | open. | About 7 o'clock yesterday morning | his son entered the kitchen and the| odor of gas nearly suffocated him. Hei Peter Thompson, a sailor, living at 204 East street, was treated at the Re- ceiving Hospital yesterday morning for a broken nose and a lacerated wound of the scalp. He told the sur- geons that he was attacked by three men at the corner of Turk and Mason streets, and after being beaten into insensibility was robbed of $3 and a silver watch. According to the story of the in- jured man he reached this city last Saturday morning, after an extended cruise in Alaskan waters. Determined to have a good time he visited the tenderloin district and met numerous “friends.” One of them happened to be a woman who Thompson knew up north. At her invitation they visited a resort on Market street and had several bottles of wine together. As they emerged from the place the love- stricken sailor noticed that three men whom he had seen in the saloon were following him. Suspecting that they intended to rob him Thompson left the woman, and accosting the trio he For a reply one of them knocked him down, and as he lay prostrate in the street his companions repeatedly kicked him. They then searched his clothing, taking his money and time- piece. Thompson’s screams for help at- tracted the attention of Policemen McCuttery and Heins, and they went to his assistance. He was in a semi- conscious condition and unable to give a coherent account of the assault and robbery. The ambulance was at once summoned, and_the unfortunate man removed to the Receiving Hospital. After his wounds were dressed he was taken to police headquarters, where he gave a description of his as- sailants to the officers in charge. On account of the numerous hold-ups and burglaries Chief Lees hasspecially detailed Detectives Tom Gibson and | | i characters. Early yesterday morning they arrested two young crooks, who pads. They gave their names as James | Brown and Charles Reynolds and were locked up in the tanks pending an in- vestigatio; DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. @ Bold Youth Steals Thirteen Cases of Fruit From a Fruit Peddler’'s Storehouse.
