The cranks who spend hours at a time at the are commencing to_develop the “bicycle eye.” The strain of watch- ing the riders as they circle about, coup- led with the dust they disturb, brings on the fashionable complaint. It has become the fad to drop in at the Pavilion at odd hours of the day to watch the men, as e alway omething of interest. wn, the sturdy young Irishman, had hallucinations during the day and it was with difficulty he could be kept on his wheel. He dismounted once and shouted to his friend Fredericks, whom _he thought was concealed in the gallery. His talk was incoherent, rambling off on all sorts of odd fancies. Lawson, the terrible Swede, won the sympathy of the spectators by his forlorn appearance and gameness. In the early hours of the morning his trainers pro- Mons. Fovrnisr OrreErs To Taxs NAWN _In Tow.

THEY BOASTED THEIR PULL FORMER SCHOOL DIRECTORS UNDER INVESTIGATION. Expert Kilpatrick Presents a Long List of Misdeeds to Be Fully Considered—Straw Bond Frauds. The Grand- Jury held a. protracted ses- sion yesterday and found -two indict- ments against pickpockets as the net re- sult of its afternoon’s deliberations.- The men involved are the notorious John Pig- gott and Cal Childs, who in the past have boasted of their pull with officials. when under arrest for crime. The men are now behind the bars for the robbing of Gregoire Henriouelle of §130 on the 11th inst. Officer P. J. Parrell and Special Officer Henry Newman . were among the wit- nesses examined by the Grand Jury and at the conclusion of their testimony .in- dictments were found against the two crooks. The jury then appeared before Presiding Judge Daingerfield, where they filed the indictments. Bail was fixed in the sum of $5000 each. During the inves- tigation the jurors dwelt particularly on the unnecessary continuances in the Police Courts, particularly where pick- pockets are concerned. The efforts to put a stop to the straw bond evil are being continued and with the co-operation of the Judges it is hoped to wipe out the practice. Clerk Kelly, of Judge Graham's court was before the gur to explain his_acceptance of three 1 bonds with ex-Policeman Hayes and . McAran as sureties. These men are said to be professional bondsmen and Expert Newman of the Supervisors is said to have so informed Mr. Kelly. Mr. Newman denied having said so when on the witness stand yesterday. Captain of Police Seymour swore that Newman had made the statement to him in the pres- ence of Charles Morrison, a reporter. M Morrison substantiated Captain mour’s statement. It was intimated by a juryman that Mr. Newman would be asked to reconcile his two statements. Expert Kilpatrick presented a long re- ort on_the condition of affairs in the chool Department. It went into detail as to the maladminstration of the de- partment under the former board, sho g where money had been spent reck- lessly. The school committee of the jury will dissect the report in an endeavor to find something tangible upon which it can proceed in order to bring the offend- ers to justice. A. W. Foster, the rallroad magnate, af)pearcd before the jury seeking in- dictment of some one who had wronged him. He was not successful in his first effort, but will appear before the inquisi- torial body at its next meeting. Lurline Salt Water Baths. Bush and Larkin sts. Swimming.

FINALLY CHOSE THE LATTER WAS FRUSTRATED BY A NIGHT CLERK’S VIGILANCE. Police Are Puzzled to Know What to D6 With the Man, Who Re- fuses to Give dis True Name. A most ‘deliberdte attempt at suicide was made in the Del Mono lodging house, 21 Turk stréet, by a:man who gave the name of George Néwton, and if it had not been for the vigilance of Night Clerk Isaac Wolfe he would. have dccomplished his purpose. Newton, as he prefers to be called, went to the lodging house Wednesday night and engaged a room. .Wolfe. noticed that his face was swollen with some. disease and he complained of his eyes bothering him. The butt end of a revolver was signifi- cantly sticking out of his overcoat pocket. About 3 o'clock yesterday morning Wolfe's attention was attracted to New- ton’s room by & smell of gas. The door was locked and he had to force it open. Newton was unconscious in bed, and the room was full of gas. Newton had made | careful preparations for self-destruction. | He had pulled the bed to the middle of the room so that the gas jet was imme- | diately over his head. He had wet the towel in the room and stuffed it under the door so that none of the gas would escape, and the window was closed. He. had twisted the bed cover round his body and | made a sort of funnel, which he fixed to | the gas jet after he had unscrewed the tip and thrown it on the floor. Then he turned on the gas and lay down to- die. ‘Wolfe worked on the man several hours, and after getting him back to conscious= ness notified Policeman O’Connor. The revolver had been placed under his pil- low, and he admitted to Wolfe and the policeman that his original intention was to shoot himself, and he bought the re- volver on Kearny street for that pur- pose. He said he engaged the room, not wanting his friends to know of his inten- tion to kill himself, but when he thought of bespattering walls and bed with his blood he made up his mind to take the gas route.. O'Connor emptied the car- tridges from the revolver and took .pos- session of it, and sent Newton to the in- sane ward in the Recelving Hospital. Newton positively declined to give his true name. He said he was an_English- man by birth, but had been in this coun- try for eleven years. He brought his wife with him. Three months ago he got a divorce from her in Sacramento on the ground of deésertion. He came to this city about two weeks ago and had been working. but this week he was unable to labor, as he suffered so much from in- somnia, which had driven him crazy. He worried so much about his wife that he began to think life was not worth any- {72‘31& vl;nh?tuht hfli}' 1};? had also been ered with a skin disease, w = Il"i‘_lr:’d his eyes and face. b e e police are puzzled to know whas do with him. He promises not to anev‘n;‘: ?ulc(dle agta!n. b;l‘t aftler his deliberate at- empt not muc! reliance is pla what he says. Paret o —_————— . VON TIEDEMANN ON TRIAL. Accused of Coin;:ittmg Perjury in a Former Case. 5 Karl von Tiedemann is again on trial before Judge Dunne and a jury on a charge of perjury. During the trial of a former case Von Tiedemann {dentified a photograph as the picture of a woman who impersonated Mrs. Harriet P. Cristy in a fraudulent land transaction. The pic- ture resembles that of Mrs. Spencer, and Von Tiedemann was arrested for perjurv., He will admit identifying (her})hntogmph. but will deny that he ever said or thought that Mrs. Spencer, who is the prosecut- ing witness, was the woman.
