THE SAN FRANCISOO CALL, WED DAY, DECEMBER 7, 1898 MORE TROUBLES IN THE HALL Contractors Say That Under Expect to Finish the Noted Structure Within the Next Ninety Days. Others Declare It Will Take Whether the Legislature Will Furnishing of the Building. The completion of the Hall of Justice, | which has been so long and exasperating- Iy postponed, concerns the general public, is of particular moment to the resi- f the north side. There have been vs of all kinds, and the people, after numberless protests and petitions ave concluded that this municipal ente; prise is on a par with the infamous co struction of the new City Hall, which stands to-day as an architectural monu- ment to colossal jobbery. | However, it is said that all things come | to the individual who is willing to wait, | and it now appears that the more or less patient Northenders are to be rewarded | with ization of their desires.

A A serious question has arisen within the last two days as to the furnishing of the hall. The Supervisors have been strug- gling with the matter for some time and making desperate efforts to enter into contracts for its performance. To this end they allowed $8.000, and now have bids in hand for the delivery of the goods. | However, Auditor Broderick has shied his | beaver into the ring announcing that the cf; and county has no authority to ex- pend money for such a purpose—that it must first be empowered by the Legisla- ture to do so, and that contractors will be proceeding at their own risk if they enter into an engagement with the Board of Supervisors. The feature of the situation that is now creating particular anxiety, especially among the Northenders, is the probable attitude of the next Legislature. It will devolve upon that body to see that the ent of the big building is provided d it is presumed that if the proper showing is made by representative citi- zens the required bill will be passed. But if the completion of the hall continues to lag as in the past the Solons may refuse to act favorably. In which event the fa- mous Hall of Justice would not be avail- » for public use until some time in 1902. | This is a prospect that will arouse prop- { erty-owners in that district to the rea tion of the fact that it is necessary do some effective work immediately.

SANDEN—Dear Sir: Tt is with pleasure I make known the results I have received from the use of your Dr. Sanden's Elec- tric Belt. I can truthfully say that it has about made a new man of me. Since commencing its use I have gained over 25 pounds, going from 143 to 175, and feel better and stronger than I ever did. It grad- vally cured me of the weakness and strengthened me in every way. I can now do any kind of hard work without feeling fatigued, and have more energy and ambition than I ever had. I consider that your Belt has done me a world of good, and feel it my- duty to make it known, for I am sure that others can get the same good that I have from the use of the Belt. I will recommend the Belt and give you permission to use this letter as yoy see fit, and will prove what it says, if necessary.

Wittmeier, Widow of “Bottle” Meier, Concert-Hall Keeper, Takes Her Life Apparently Without Cause. ' RS. Magdalena Wittmeier, widow of “Bottle” Meler, was found dead in her bed by her servants vester- Beside her was a strychnine, M phial day mornin~ of while a wine glass half full of water also con- tained crystals of the same poison. For a time the police thought she had been the victim of foul play as all her money was missing. After a more thorough search this was found hidden away in an old valise. The dead woman is known to seafaring men the world over. For nearly thirty years she has conducted a music hall, of which the men who =0 down to the sea in ships have been the principal patrons. Her husband was the first man in Cali- fornia to place beer in bottles, hence his sobriquet of ‘‘Bottle”Meier, by which he was better known than by his own name of Wittmeier. He amassed a fortune at.the business of bottling beer and died four years ago with an estate appraised at $25,000. It consisted of a ranch in Santa Clara Coun- ty; the property, 513 Pacific street, where the concert hall is conducted and where the woman died; a house and lot on Stockton street, near Jackson, and flats on Baker street, between Fulton and Grove. At his death there were certain incumbrances, and to remove these the widow mortgaged the Pacific street prop- erty for $6000. The property was all left to the widow, but she had to defend her right to it as a son of the dead man, issue of a former marriage, contested the will. The court gave the widow all. proach to one developed in Judge Mo- gan's court yesterday. Mrs. Wittmeler was on the bond of M. Garten in the sum of $1000, and the prisoner failed to answer to his name when his case was called on Monday morning. The bonds were de- clared forfeited and proceedings were to be commenced to collect. Garten is charged with having embezzled dia- monds to the value of $170 from M. Bra- valasky, a jeweler at 289 Seventh street. “The body of decedent was found by Fred Jacobsen, an attache of the concert hall. When Mrs. Wittmeier did not ap- pear at the customary hour in the morn- ing the Japanese servant became alarmed and summoned Jacobsen. He went to her room and found her dead. She had ap- parently retired, taken the deadly po- tion, folded her hands on her breast and calmly awaited death.

McGLADE WENT SADLY BACK TO THE TANKS Could Not Secure Suf- ficient Bonds. Peter W. McGlade, the defaulting book- keeper in the Street Superintendent’s of- fice, appeared . in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday and was greeted by a large number of friends who had gath- ered in the courtroom. He was kept shaking hands for some time and looked pleased and confident. The case was called and by consent was continued until Friday. Attorney Metson, who appeared for the defendant, asked that the bonds of 310,000 be reduced to $5000, and the Judge said he would consult the Chief of Police and give his decision later, as he understood other charges we're to be preferred against the defend- ant. During the afternoon McGlade's friends thinking the bonds had been reduced got John C. Peterson, 719 Liberty street, and H. 8. Dimond of Williams, Dimond & Co. to become his sureties and the bond was accepted by Judge Conlan on the under- standing that it had been reduced. Chief Lees declined to release the defendantun- less on $10,000 bonds, and when Judge Joachimsen was notified he agreed with the Chief. “I do not know what action will be taken in the matter of investigating the operations of Peter McGlade,” said Super- intendent of Streets Ambrose last night, when asned if the search would go beyond the August accounts. ‘““Whoever did this crooked work did not manipulate my books. They are entirely stralfht. and if there has been any other stealing of the kind it can be very easily discovered by ' comparing the pay roll with the accounts in the Auditor’s office, and my books are open to investigation. “I must confess that I do not know how the job could be carried through success- fully. In the first place the voucher had to“be made out in the name of the ficti- tious laborer and should be sworn to by the claimant before the clerk of tne Board of Supervisors. It then had to be signed by the Street Committee. From there it would go to the Finance Committee and receive their signatures. Then it would come back to me for -certification and from my office it would go to the Auditor for his signature. 'L'hese bogus claims never came before me. If they had I would have readily detected them. They were stamped with my signature and signed ‘Peter McGlade, yeputy.” “This might have gone on indefinitely if 1t had not been discovered that some one had been swinaling salary brokers to the extent of hundreds of dollars, the opera- tions dating since last May. As soon as I discovered these things I notified the Mayor that the c&? was being defrauded and also Inform: his Honor that my bookkeeper was missing. The exposure followed. “McGlade, if he is the culprit, had no excuse whatever for his conduct. He had a good position under me and was well treated. Furthermore he was so popular truly, THOS. LANGAN.

ELECTED A VETERAN FOR THEIR COMMANDER s . Edward A. Bullis, Who Is Now the Head of George H. Thomas Post, @ A. R., Served in the Rebellion. l’ EORGE H. THOMAS POST, G. A. R., met last evening in Ruby Hall and elected officers for the ensuing year and aldo fifteen delegates to the Depart- ment Encampment to be held next spring at San Diego. The election of offi- cers resulted as follows: Post commander, Edward A. Bullis; senior vice- commander, A. Mautner; junior vice commander, Eugene Wiegand; quartermaster, C. H. Blinn; surgeon, George Hardcastle; chaplain, Willlam Royal; officer of the day, P. Welch; officer of the guard, W. E. B. Bartholow; trustees—W. R. Parnell, C E. Wilson and Philip I. Fisher. Beyond the election of the officers and delegates there was no other business transacted by the post. Edward A. Bullis, the newly elected commander, was born in Fort Coving- ton, N. Y., and when 17 years old he enlisied as a private, in 1861, in the Ninety- eighth Regiment, New York Volunteer Infantry, which joined the Army of the Potomac under the command of General George B. McClellan at the beginning of the siege of Yorktown in the spring of .1862. . The regiment was assigned to Naglee's brigade, Keyes' Fourth Army Corps. After the capture of Yorktown the regiment participated in the battle of Wil- liamsburg, and Jater was in the extreme advance, following the enemy under the command of the Confederate general, Joseph E. Johnston, up the peninsula. The regiment, being in Casey’s division, bore the brunt of the enemy’s savage attack at the battle of Fair Oaks, and lost everything except what the men had on their backs when they went into the fight, the division being driven back across the Chickahominy and its camps captured by the enemy. Eight thousand men on elther side were lost in the engagement. The Ninety-eighth sustained heavy loss in the seven days’ battles terminating with Malvern Hill. During this serfes of engagements the Federal losses footed up 33,000 men, and the total loss to the Union army during the disastrous peninsula campaign was 74,000 men. In December, 1862, the regiment was detached from the Army of the Potomac and assigned.to an expedition which safled from Fortress Monroe under command of General Foster to capture Charleston, 8. C. The fleet was scattered by a heavy gale off, Cape Hatteras, In which Ericsson’s Monitor foundered and sank. Later the attack on Charleston by the Union fleet was repulsed, eight monitors being disabled in forty minutes by the Confederates’ /terrific cannonade. The regiment was then sent to North Carolina and assigned the duty of-guarding the: railroad in the extensive swamps between Morehead City and Newbern. By this time the Ninety-elghth was reduced by death and disease from its original 1000 men to less than 400, and was consolidated intd a battallon. In this unhealthy location young Bullls was stricken with malarial fever, which necessitated his . discharge from. the army. He arrived in this city in 1864, where he has since resided. After the death of the late Nathaniel Hunter in 1893 Mr. Bullls was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to succeed him -as Superintendent of Interment of ex-Union Soldlers, which position he still holds 5 % : PEPPRPRRRPRRRPPRP P NP RR R POV RRP PR RR PP R RS PR REP P RRR PP NI R PV VSRR R P RSP R RRR R PP RRERRRR IR PP THE EMPORIUM. | THE EMPORIUM. eddd PEEIEIIIIERRISRRR SRR DR R PP R R OB E RN R RSN ‘OPEN EVENINGS.

Di The trouble between Antonio Rosso and Francisco di Franchi, which resulted in the murder of the one by the other last Sunday night, was found yesterday to have been occasioned by a wager Franchi had made with a saloon-keeper that he could sing better. than the dispenser of liquid refreshments. Rosso was the judge in the test of the respective vocal abili- ties of the two men, and deciding against Franchi incurred that gentleman's dis- pleasure. A quarrel followed, and in self- defense Rosso shot the loser_ of the bet. Rosso, who until recently had been working in this city, but for the past month had been employed in the mines at Black Diamond, returned to San Fran- cisco Sunday. In the evening, at the sa- loon of Giacomo Verdugi, 324 Broadway, he met Franchi. Over their cups Ver- dugi and Franchi both claimed to be sing- ers, and each thought that his voice was better than that of the other. A wager of a dollar a side was made, and Rosso was chosen as stakeholder and judge. Each of the contestants rendered his best selection in his best manner, and after careful consideration Rosso awarded the decision to the saloon-keeper. The contest being decided, a question arose as to what should be done with the stakes. An agreement was finally made that Verdugi's dollar should be returned to him and that of Franchi spent for liquor. When 70 cents had gone over the bar and its value in drinks had been passed back and had been consumed.all had as much “thirst poison” as was wanted. Rosso offered the remaining 30 cents to Franchi, who refused it, and ag- gressively demanded what right Rosso had to spend his money. An explanation ‘was made to him, but he was not satis- fied, and left the saloon with the threat that Rosso would not sleep in bed that night. Rosso staid in the saloon a short time, and when he went out into the street he was accosted by Franchi, and the quarrel began anew. Franchi drew a gun, and, according to Rosso, fired it. Thinking himself about to be murdered, Rosso brought his pistol into action and fired three times at Franchi, killing him instantly. sol‘;‘:g.n&l‘fieh:;dhad a fbm relputa.tlon for was formerly connected with the Maila in New Orleans. About ten years ago he was in San Franecisco and served a term of six months in the Coun- ty Jail. While eating in a restaurant a woman who knew him entered the place and as a_joke took some shrimps from a plate in front of him. Ha assaulted her, and a gentleman who saw the disturb- ance interfered. Franchi drew a revolv- er, but was disarmed. Later he was ar- rested and convicted of assault. New Orleans and was connected with the Mafia during the trouble there. He was deputized by the Mafia to kill Domenico Pari, a_barber who had offended the or- der. there to Chicago, and from there to San Francisco. Pari left this city and Fran- chi also disappeared. While he was away from here he had trouble at various places, among others at Denver, from which city he was driven by the police. The first of the present year Pari, who is godfather of a daughter of -Dr. Galeoto, residing at 423 Montgomery avenue, re- turned to San Francisco to visit his friends. Last July he learned that Franchi was still on his trail, so he left for Chicago. Franchi came back to the ‘city two months later. Par' intended to come to San Francisco for the Christmas holidays, and the death of Franchi will probably render the carrying out of this intention more certain. Franchi has been regarded as a bad man, but was thought to be a good deal of a bluffer. In New Orleans he had trouble with a man named Angelo Fer- rant _and drew a gun on him. Ferrant knocked the pistol from his hands, bit a iece out of his nose and shot him in the leg. The scars on the nose and leg were found on the body as it lay in the Bfur ue, Three weeks ago in the saloon of Sal- vador Smario, Broadway, Franchi drew a revolver on a man during a quar- rel, but the saloon-keeper took it away before he could do any damage. Franchi was ordered away from the place and told not to return. He came back, how- ever, about a week ‘gm and in a quarrel over a game of cards he again made a show of a pistol and was disarmed, Th= night he was shot ne again returned ro Smario’s saloon and was ejected on ac- count of his quarrelsome disposition.
