As during the | past successful season, the club will meet at Lunt's Hall on Polk street, and the pa- tronesses will welcome their guests, as- sisted by a committee of representative ladies. Last year a place on this committee was an_honor much sought for, and among the iadtes go distinguished were Mrs. A. Borel, Mrs. E. W. Hopkins, Mrs. Josselyn, Mrs H. L. Dodge and Mrs. L. L. Baker. The first dance of the I‘ortnightlys, which will be the initial one of the season, will be heid on Friday evening, November 4. Nothing as yet has been done looking to the revival of the Monday Night dancing class, nor the Cinderella class. though it is re than probable that both classes will be reorganized for the winter season. The patronesses of the Monday Nights are Mesdames Willlam Gwin Jr., George Pope, Osgood Hooker, W. E. Lester, Southard_ Hoffman, T. C. Van Ness, Thomas Breeze, Paul Jarboe and Sidney Smith. Mesdames Charles de Guigne, E. E. Eyre, Gordon Blanding, Percy Moore, Robert T. Coleman, A. E. Head, Charles Josselyn, Charles Page, Austin C. Tubbs, Joseph A. Donohoe and C. A. Baldwin hold the destiny of the Cinderella class in_their keeping.

In July last he met, in some way, pretty little Ella Desmond, who resided at the | time with her parents at 22 Scott place. She was young, barely 16, and guileless, and before the month was out she yielded herself to Tony's blandishments. few weeks ago, as the girl became conscious of the fact that her trust in Tony would eventually lead to her dis- grace, she confided her condition to her mother. The latter at once caused her daughter’s betrayer.to be arrested. Con- fronted with the prospect of a term in San Quentin, he agreed to make all the reparation that lay in his power. Des- mond pere's gentle hint that he would “blow the daylight” out of Tony's body possibly accelerated the offer. E. L. Wadham of the Eureka Soclety arranged the preliminaries for the prin- cipals, and on Wecnesday of last week escorted them to Cupid Danforth’s office, where a marriage license was procured. As the couple were hoth under age, their mothers’ consent was first obtained. Jus- tice of the Peace Barry then performed the ceremony. —_————— LIVELY BLAZE IN A BOAT-BUILDER’S SHOP A lively blaze in the boat-bullding es- tablishment of George W.

The flames ate their ‘way rapldly from the bofler-room into the work shop and thence to the salesroom and ware- house on Third street. Two horses and a mule stabled in the rear of the factory were taken out by Officer Beamer shortly after the fire was discovered.

Bald- win of the real-estate firm of Baldwin & Howell called at the committe chamber and sent in his card to Mayor Phelan. The latter immediately left the room and Joined Mr. Baldwin in the hall outside, where the two gentlemen chatted together for a while. In a few minutes Dr. Clinton strolled out, and, catching sight of Mr. Baldwin and the Mayor conversing, joined them. For a brief space of time there was ap- parent harmony and then Mr. Baldw:n was heard to take Dr. Clinton to task for having dencunced the Mission Zoo project. He 5floke in a rather loud voies, ‘}fl]rg Mayor Phelan endeavored to pacify | Dr. Clinton replied that he had no in- tention of reflecting on his auditor per- | sonally. “‘But speaking collectively,” he said, “I stlll belleve that it is a job and a steal, and I base my own opinion on the opinion of several reputable and capable real estate men, who have placed a value on the tract In question of from $8,000 to $110,000 only.” He said further, speaking calmly and quietly, that at the time of the appraisals he had mentioned the five-acre gum-tree tract was included. ‘‘Hence,” pursued Dr. Clinton, *“I consider the property worth only about §75,000. And when the people of the Mission have much-needed school facilities, and their other pressing necessities have been provided for, I shall then, and then only, vote $75,000 for the Mission Zoo.” He then sald, in substance, that in his opinion if the city paid a single dollar above that figure there would be a steal. At this juncture Mr. Baldwin interrupt- SUPERVISORS FIX THE TAX LEVY AT 51318 Appropriations for the Various City De- partments. The Board of Supervisors have deter- mined upon a $1.318 tax levy for city and county purposes. Added to the State tax of 488 cents the total assessment agalnst property-owners for the next fig- cal year willl be $1.806. The levy, as fixed, was the result of an all-day session yesterday of the Super- visors, sitting as committee of the whole. The meetings were held in the committee room of the board and were closed to the general public, only report- ers and Invited officials being present. From the very outset of the proceed- ings it was evident that the majority of the Supervisors were determined to keep the levy down to as low a flgure as pos- sible. At times there was a disposition manifested by the minority to increase | expenditures on certain items, as com- pared with last year, but with few ex- ceptions these manifestations ‘were promptly suppressed. The ostensible champions of a low tax were Dr. Clin- ton, Dr. Dodge, Dr. Rottanzi, Mr. Smith, Mr. Morton and Mr. Lackmann, in the ordér named. Clinton was the most pro- nounced opponent to each and every ap- propriation proposed, seldom failing to move that it be cut down much below the Auditor’'s estimate. He wanted the levy kept to the dollar limit, or failing in that, to_the $1 15 mark. The proceedings of the Supervisors while in committee of the whole were, in detail, as follows: The board resolved itself into a com- miitee of the whole at 10:45 a. m., the statement being made at the beginning of the session that any votes taken on the subject of the various appropriations | HE SLAPPED BALDWIN'S FACE. A Prominent Real Estate Agent Calls Supervisor Clinton a Liar and Receives a Blow in Return. - o_li- ol ~ . ed Dr. Clinton by shouting angrily, “If vou say that that is a job I say you are a liar. No sooner had the last word left his lips than Dr. Clinton's open hand sounded on his cheek. There was a rush to the spot from all sides. Mayor Phe- lan grasped Dr. Clinton firmly, and Ser- geant at Arms Glaninni seiged Mr. Bald- win’'s uplifted arm just as he was about to strike at the Supervisor with the heavy cane he carried. o “Let me go!" the men crled in unison; but they were held apart until Mr. Bald- win was called before the board to pre- sent a demand. for action on the Zoo | proposition. Ten minutes latér, when he passed from the committee room, he again encountered Dr. Clinton. e “Let me speak to you a moment,”” he said to the doctor, ‘and the latter, al- though it was sought to restrain him, at once confronted him. “You can see me at any time, Mr. Bald- win,” he exclaimed. ‘‘Here is my card. “I know where to you,” said the real estate agent, “and I don’t need your card. But, as I am(Fol out of town to- morrow morning and shall not return un- til. Wednesday, I inform you now that\I will have satisfaction then.” With this he left. ¥ ~ Dr. Clinton afterward expressed the keenest regret at the ln'e(senl‘,‘ and sald that so far as he was concerned the mat- ter was closed, and Mayor Phelan, who all along had striven to play the peace- maker, spoke in behalf of Mr. Baldwin to the same effect. JIM CORBETT WANTS VERY BIG MONEY L & John Hammersmith, the leader of the Olympic Club, received a dispatch yes- terday from James J.

There Wwas some wrangling over this proposi- tion, and it was finally determined to take up the various appropriations as they came on the Auditor's list, without re’fard to the report of the commjittee. he advertising bills of city and ounty officers were the first subjects for discus. slon. It was found that the cost of ad- vertising under this head during 1897-98 was $3500. The Supervisors concluded thatlégo{e“wz;]s no chance to use the pruni nife here and a similar was allowed for 1898-99. b The Assessor's office next came into view on the appropriation schedule, and the knives were drawn.

'On this occasion it was different. “I move that we cut to ,000,” exclalmed Clinton.

The fire department was reduced $28,000 | and brought down to the $600,000 basis. The appropriation for_lighting public buildings went up from $30,000 in 1897-98 to “OT%UO 'or 1898-99. e olice _department remained un- touche(fal $777,38. The library fund wa: increased from $53,000 last year to $50 The school fund passed under the scru of the Supervisors, and despite a fow kicks it was increased from $1,200.000 in 1897-98 to $1.232,140. The street lighting fund was put at $350,000, an increase of $50,000 over last year. For the Hall of Justice furnishings $40,000 was appropriat- ed. An apropriation of $17,000 for the opening of a street on the east side of the Ppr:sldio was made. The Street Depart- ment got what it wanted, $535,000, or rath- | er, all that it expected to get. This is the | same sum that was given to the depart- ment last year. Supervisor Rivers brought up the Mis- sion Zoo scheme and moved that $225,000 be given for its purchase. He also wanted $75,000 for St. Mary's Park. No objection was raised to the $75,000 award, but the Mission Zoo was roasted, if it be possible to roast a zoo. “It's a job and a fraud on the taxpay- ers,” sald Dr. Cilnton. ‘‘The price asked is four times what the property is worth. 1 took competent real estate men out there and they told me the tract was not worth a cent over $75,000. Why, then, should the city pay over $200,0007 It is an outrage to suggest such a thing.” Again came an unexpected break on the | part of Supervisor Britt. ‘I must vote against the Mission Zoo,” he said. Rivers, who sat next to him, leaned over and said a few emphatic things, sub- rosa, but apparently without effect. “They could not pass it because I| would not let them,” whispered one of the | | | Supervisors near the reporters’ table. After some hot wrangling, in_which Sheehan, Devany, Delany and Haskins sided with Rivers, the Zoo project was dropped. During the afternoon the committee of om_the committee the whole adjourne r‘ room to the chamber of the Supervisors and resolved {tself into a board, with Mayor Phelan In the chair, to receive bids on_the plans for a new City and County Hospital and transact other busi- ness. There were ecighteen architects who offered plans and the side of the room was cumbered with big boxes con- taining the same. Following the pre- sentation of the plans, which remained unopened, the opinion of the City and County Attorney on the illegality of the proceedings was read. Some discussion followed as to how the architects were to be compensated for their waste of time, if the hospital could not be built. It seems that the board offered three prizes of $1000, $750 and $500 for the best set of plans. No decision | as to what should be done about the re- wards was reached. Following the board meeting the Su- pervisors returned to ,he committee room and resumed the consideration of the tax levy. The various items were finally put | together and before recess was taken Bx- pert Cyril Williams stated that tne to- tal city and county levy, on the basis of the appropriations passed, would be 1.208, or practically $130. Adding the | tate tax would bring the total up to about §1 79. The Supervisors reconvened at $:30 p. m. as a_committee of the whole, and after several matters relevant to street im- provements had been disposed of, Super- visor Rottanzl moved that the considera- tion of the Mission Zoo be postponed in- definitely in order that the tax levy might be taken up. Before this could be done, however, It was suggeste the resolution to purchase ‘the Miranda Tract, a strip of land adjoining the Pre- sia10,” be adopted. Supervisor Rottanzi explained its provisions at length, and Mayor Phelan stated that the identical | resolution had been repeatedly passed by the board. He did not favor its passage unless the Supervisors would = pl themselves to make use of the money a ter it had been appropriated, and with this understanding it was immediately adopted. Dr. Rottanzi then asked that a sum should be segregated from the school fund with which to erect and maintain an addition to the Polytechnic School. This was also reserved for future considera- tion. Supervisor Haskins then an- | nounced that the Finance Committee had | prepared an estimate for the tax levy which annroximated $129, but upon Dr. Clinton's query as to whether or mot it included the $75,000 for the St. Mary's Park, he remained silent. “We will put it in,” said Dr. Rottanzi. But Dr. Clin- ton spiritedly replied that he insisted Ypon knowing why it had been left out. Haskins appeased him, however, and | Dr. Rottanzi moved that all proceedings seeking to condemn land for the Mission Zoo be at once dismissed. Supervisor Rivers offered an amendment to the ef- fect that the City and County Attorney be instructed to this end, and the motion was unanimously carried. At this point the board’'s proceedings were Interrupted by an occurrence which was not on the programme, and though it took place just outside the committee | room the noise and disorder which en- | sued were sufficlent to bring all business to an end for several minutes, The par- ticulars of the incident, in which Super. visor Clinton and A. S. Baldwin, the real estate agent, were the central figures, are set forth in another column. Shortly be- | fore 10 o'clock the committee adjourned | sine die, and five minutes later met in | th2 board room as the board proper.

They were for various amounts, ranging from the hun- dreds into the thousands. About thirteen years ago the Southern Pacific Company, through its land agent, Jerome Madden, entered into contracts with many well-known people of this State, by which the company agreed to turn_over lands in the southern part of the State for certain stipulateu. prices to be paid on installments. The lands which the company wished to dispose of were claimed under certain acts of Congress, but the company had not, at tnat time secured perfect patents. It was agree by the company that in event the patents to the land were not forthcoming the moneys paid in would be returned to those who proposed to purchase in ac- cordance with the contracts. In 1895, ten years after the making of the contracts, eight of the parties being dissatisfied at the delay, demanded a return of the moneys they had placed in the hands of It was not forthcomin, and suit was instituted.
