THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1898. T FITZGERALD WILL FIND LAW FOR MR. VALENTINE A Bundle of Papers Refused on Which to Base His Battle for the People’s Rights. He Will Seek a Writ of Mandate to Compel Wells-Fargo to Pay Its Share of the War Tax. The State has taken up the fight of the people, and by writ of mandate will force Wells, Fargo & Co., rather than Wells, Fargo & Co.’s patrons, to pay its war tax. Since The Call first called his attention to the impo- sition being practiced by the carrier corporation, the Attorney-General has been casting about for some swift, sure method of bringing the greedy corporation to a sense of its wrong-doing. He has decided upon the all-power- ful writ of mandate, and to-day or to-morrow he will make petition for the writ before the Circuit Court. Wells-Fargo’s patrons may yet have the satisfaction of seeing Wells-Fargo’s president writing checks for his own war stamps. t. Mr. Fitzgerald con- sed in that it permits of and leaves the case open nicalities.

In a fit of despondency some two weeks since, Rionehl attempted to com- mit sulcide by turning on the gas in his room. He was taken to the Recelving Hospital, and after considerable difficuity, was re: tated. Owing to the action of | the gas upon his hexrt, the blood had co- | agulated around that organ and when it resumed its normal action the coagulated blood found lodgment in his right leg. Blood poisoning developed, and Dr. Weli amputated Rionghl's right ie esterday in order to save his life. —_————— Fire Department Changes. The Fire Commissioners met yesterday afternoon and appointed Daniel Toomey hoseman of engine 34. John McGoury, driver of chiemical engine 6, was pen- sioned owing to ill health, and William Hart was appointed to fill his place.

The Pacific Mail Company experienced | na away for the Orient. In the first place | there was a strike among the Chinese | and Japanese crew and then there was | such a rush of steerage passengers that a large quantity of freight had to be put ashore in order to make room for them. In consequence the vessel was nearly six hours late in getting away. When the China was taken as a trans- port the Chinese and Japanese crew was engaged for the trip on a gold basis. The regular run between here and the Orient was on the Mexican dollar basis. When the transport got back the coolies were all pald off in United States gold coin, much to their delight. The company was satisfled, as Uncle Sam footed the bills, the Chinese were delighted and “all went merry as a marriage bell.” | Wednesday was the time set for the crew to “sign_on" for the voyage to Hongkong, and then the trouble began. The Chinese refused to sign the articles until their pay up to that time was forth- coming in gold. They were not going to wait until the vessel reached Hongkong and then be pald in Mexican dollars. 'Not muchee,” sald the boss Chinese. The company was In a quandary. The Chinese would have to be taken, whether as pas- sengers or crew was immaterial, while the chances of getting a new crew here were problematical. All kinds of ruses were tried to circumvent the wily Celes- tials, but they all failed, and Wednes- day night the wages were gnld in gold cofn and the Chinese signed the ship's articles. Yesterday about fifteen money changers were busy around the shi changing the American money into Mexi- can dollars. During the Manila voyage the Japanese were paid the same wages as white men. ‘When the Yokohama-Hongkong run was resumed they refused to accept the old pay and would not go to work. In conse- uence the China Is carrying eight of them as passengers as far as Yokohama. The China took away 74 cabin passen- gers, 35 second-class and 330 Chinese. The rush of the latter came at the last mo- ment and in consequence an immense quantity of freight had to be put ashore to make room for them. Nearly a thou- sand barrels of beer and large consign- ments of cigarettes were among the goods put ashore, and somebody will have to go short of those articles. Madeleine Bouton, the actress, and Mrs. Reld, her chaperone, were to have sailed on the China, but canceled their ticketsat the last moment. Among the Honolulu assengers were the Rev. Fathers Lund- urg, Ulrich, Theopheile, Aloys and Vic- tor. They will make a tour of the islands and will do some missionary work while there. The Board of Harbor Commissioners rescinded the order moving the Marion into the stream yesterday. en the Government presented the State with the vessel for a naval reserve ship it was with the understanding that she should be kept moored alongside a wharf. The Commissioners will now communicate with the Secretary of the Navy and get his permission to move the vessel into the stream before any further action is ken in the matter. m’rhe Mexlcan schooner Novolato sailed for Grays Harbor on the 18th inst. While at work on deck, Lorenzo Silva fell over a coil of rope and broke his foot. He was ut aboard the pilot boat Bonita and grouxh! back to the city. He was sent to Marine Ho:pital.

S S i 2 SUING THE CREMATORY. Two Actions for Damages Brought 3 Against It. The troubles of the Sanitary Reduction ‘Works of San Francisco are augmenting daily. It was made the defendant in two new suits filed Wednesday. The first al- leges that through bad management the company's crematory daily permeates the atmosphere ‘with neisome, poisonous gases and half {ncinerated garbage, spreading death and pestilence. The lat- ter that the company’s agents are intimi- dating those who sell refuse for steam generating purposes. In both cases an injunction is asked. August Vetter, plaintiff in the first ac- tion, states that with his wife and chil- dren he resides at 10 McLea court.

In consequence the | court is asked to issue an injunction pro- | hibiting the company from operating its | plant in a_manner calculated to spread disease in Its immediate nelghborhood. . F. Martel, the complainant in the second action, affirms that prior to the organization of the defendant eorpora- erating business at 16 Stevenson street. Half of the fuel used in generating steam for power consists of straw, shavings, old boxes and other refuse. This he pur- chases from other persons, but of lats he has had. difficulty in procuring sufficient refuse for use from regular sources by reason of the methods pursued by the company to prevent its purchase by him. Agents of the company, it is alleged, sta- tion themselves near his place of business and warn and intimidate persons hauling | refuse for his use. He asks relief at the hands of the court. —e—————— WOES OF DR. F. ¥. BOND. His Action for a Divorce Will Be Heard Shortly by Judge Troutt. Dr. Frederick T. Bond's story of his un- happy married life, and the reason he seeks a divorce from his wife, Annie A. Bond, will be heard by JudgeTroutt g10rt- ly. Dr. Bond's complaint {s an uninter- rupted recital of narrow escapes from death at the hands of his wife, abuse, persecuticn and slander. On many occa- sions Mrs. Bond, it is alleged, tried to brain her husband with an ax. At times she held him up at the point of a pistol and threatened the rid the world of his presence. Again she would curse him, batter him, slander him and disgrace him; chop into his office, ruin his desks and destroy his effects; accusie him of being a poisoner and make life generally a burden. In consequence Bond wants a divorce and the custody of his minor child. A peti- tion, on benalf of Mrs. Bond for the suc- tody of tae child, was heard by Judge Troutt yesterday, but on permission be- ing granted the petitioner to sea her bab zhe petition was stricken from the calen- ar. 00000C00000000000CQ 20 AR WFCE RN < Writes About 8 “THE KING OF 00000000000 g THE SLEUTHS’ in o NEXT SUNDAY'S O ° CALL. 0000000C00000000000 TELEPHONE GIRLS ANNOYED.

He is a man about 40 fi'efll’! of age, shabbily dressed, and said his name was John Schausen. et b S b ey War Tax. It is the opinion of nine-tenths of the bankers and other business men of the country that the stamp tax on checks will remain In force many years, and perhaps permanently. It is a popular tax, convenient to collect and difficult to re- eal. In view of this and the further ‘act that our Government has settled upon a policy of territorial expansion and naval construction the opinion is well founded. The last civil war stamp tax on checks remained about twenty years. This will probably remain as long, #o quit lickin stamps and have your checks made an the stamps printed on by the Union Lithograp! ompany, Government li- censee for the Imprinting of stamps, 325 Sansome street.

She used to make use of a mixture prepared by the druggist where the family traded, but one time when the supply was exhausted and she was absent from home and had not a copy of the prescription with her, she was at a loss to know what to do a‘,nd I recommended her to make trial of Ripans Tabules.
