It is said that a chill h come into the phere in the mneighborhood of and Montgomery streets since urnment of the Le Governor Bradley does not intend to resign his high office to come to San Francisco. A step of such importance as the removal of one’s influence from home to a strange ci thousands of miles away demands deliberation, par- ticularly when one is as old as Gov- ernor Bradley. He will not resign. but will serve his term to its expiration in December next. He will then favor us with his permanent presence. ‘While Governor Bradley is not well acquainted with many people in San Franc » or in California, it would be @ gross Injustic. to hir to say that he is unfamiliar with California affairs. As atter of fact, he is most thor- oughly informed upon some of the most important subjeets that ever acitated the people of California. Governor of Kentucky he became a guainted with Collis P. Huntington and that great creature of the railroad magnate, the Southern Pacific Com- pany of Kentucky. In his official capacity Governor Bradley learned very quickly to know what Huntington wanted and what he did not want in the way of legislative enactments. During his term of office Governor Bradley became thoroughly familiar with the efforts of the Ken- tucky Legislature to abrogate the charter of the Southern Pacific Com- pany of Kentucky. It is a matter of congratulation to him perhaps and of thanks for Huntington that the railroad magnate recejved what he wanted and the charter was not forfeited. Gov- Governor | | Collis P.

This is why it is that Governor Bradley may rank Kentucky's Governor may ncisco the best of it after a critical observation of the city’s in- adequacies. ‘With the prospect of such a distin- guished addition to the legal nity of San Francisco something of the record of Governor Bradley’s life may not be uninterestine. It may be that the Governor m points in the law governing railroads with a particular application to the Southern Pacific. Governor Bradley was born in Ken tucky in 1847. At thé age of 14 he en tered the Federal army and three yea: later, by a special act of the Legi ture of his native State, he was mitted to the bar. The American sup- plement of the Encyclopedia Britan- nica s he is a statesman. In 1870 ected a District Attorney and and w ad- for Congress. In 1880 he seconded the nomination of U. 8. Grant for President at the Chi- cago tional Republican Convention. President Arthur employed him to as- sist in prosecuting “star route” thieves, and in 1887 he ran for Governor of Kentucky and was defeated. cember 31 next his term will expire. Shortly after his election he met Collis P.

To-day the Bupervisors will take up and consider the offer of the Mutual Electric Light Company to light the City Hall at a saving of 40 per cent. The majority re- port of the Finance Committee on the matter of lighting, which, it is understood, 1s satisfactory to the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, will be read to- day and the understanding that the San Francisco Company is satisfied with the report may be taken as evidence that the adoption of the report will leave that cor- poration in control of the situation. This presumption is strengthened by the laying over of the report of Engineer Hunt, who holds that the city, by operat- ing its own electrical plant, can unuw sav0 to the people the big sum of §220, and the repudiation by the board of the report of the minority of the Finance Commlittee demanding & reduction of the light bills and gas rates for the future. In any event a merry little debate is ex- pected to result. —_——e—————— AN INFLUENCE MANIFEST. Changes May "]3e7]!.[;1e in the Fed- eral Building Plans. It is very evident that some strong in- fluence from the Pacific Coast has been at work among the officeholders at Washing- ton. At least a sudden change has taken place in the mind of the supervising archi- tect having under his charge the plans and “specifications of the new Federal building. Some time ago these plans were sent to this city with a view of letting local contractors prepare their bids for the work in the several departments of the structure. The first snag struck was on the construction of the floor in the proposed building. The plans called for a concrete floor throughout the building, and at this the firm of Gladding, McBean & Co. made a vigorous kick. 'They as- Serted that the plans prevented them from making a bid, as they deal only in | hollow tile materials, and the conorete | men would have a monopoly. The firm wrote a letter or two to Super- vising Architect J. K. Taylor requesting him to change the specifications so that alternate bids on this work would be called for. They also urged the Manu- facturers’ and Producers’ Assoclation and the Merchants’ Association to take up the fight in the interests of home products. Both bodies sent to Washington urgent letters indorsing the petition of the firm, and in this they were joined by the | Chamber of Commerce. 5 A week ago the manufacturers received tating that no change would ay the merchants | | ade, ! ed 'a wire from Mr. Taylor, o | ITTY WANN | “Jt is not deemed Wi to "allow terra cotta floor arches to be substituted | 15-year-old ‘te_construction in the San ancisco This was followed | a letter dated the 20th inst., giving a | ¢ of the reasons for the decision set | orth in the dispatch.

When the gun was point- ed at Ethel Kempster she screamed and said she was afraid it might be loaded. Mrs. Wannenmacher laughed at the fear of the child, and told her that there was no cartridge in the gun, as Mr. Wannenmacher always emptied it when he brought it into the house. Perceiving that Ethel Kempster was the only one greatly frightened by his action, Miller continued to point the gun in her direction. Despite the as- surance of Mrs. Wannenmacher that the rifle was harmless without a shell Ethel sought to hide behind the chair of Kitty Wannenmacher. Following her with the gun, Miller pulled the trig- ger and the ball struck Kitty. The child called to her mother that she was shot and then lost conscious- ness. Mr. Wannenmacher hearing the report rushed into the Kkitchen, and finding that his daughter was wounded sent Miller for a physician. Dr. A. P. Woodward who lives in the neighbor- hood, hastened to the Wannenmachers’ home. He found the girl unconscious and breathing heavily. She was re- moved to the dining room and placed on the table, where she died fifteen minutes after the arrival of the doctor. Sergeant Harper of the Stanyan- street Police Station was notified of the occurrence by Miller and imme- diately went to the house. Coroner Hill was communicated with, and after he had personally investigated the shoot- ing decided that it was purely acci- dental and allowed the body to remain at the home of the bereaved parents. Millér was taken into custody by Ser- geant Harper and was charged with murder at the Stanyan-street Police Station. Later he was transferred to the City Prison. He was full of re- morse on account of thee result of his foolishly careless handling of the rifle and was inconsolable at the death of his little playmate and the sorrow his act had caused Mr. and Mrs. Wannen- macher, who had been his benefactors. The boy was considered by Mr. and Mrs. Wannenmacher almost as a son. Four years ago young Miller's father died and he, being thrown upon the world, was taken in by the Wannen- machers. He worked about the house, tended the horses and helped at the butcher shop. His many good quali- ties, his willingness to' assist in the work of the household and the grati- tude he showed for the kindness he re- ceived, soon endeared him to the en- tire family. Even last night after the unfortunate accident the father and mother of the dead girl had nothing but kind things to say of the boy who had caused them their sorrow. Mr. Wannenmacher blames himself to a certain extent for the accident on account of the fact that the gun was Jeft loaded. The rifle is a 22 caliber Ballard with.a magazine which holds sixteen cartridges. How the single shell which was in the gun happened to be there he cannot explain. He says that a few days ago when he used the gun last he, as he supposed, ejected ail the cartridges and stood it in the kitch- One of the shells he believes must have caught in the magazine. The ball struck the child in the forehead about an inch and a half above the left eye, making a clean, round hole, and lodg- ed in the brain. But little blood flowed from the wound, but it is the opinion of Dr. Woodward that the hemorrhage was internal. The inquest Dr. Hill has set for 1 o'clock this afternoon, and it will be held at the hous —_———————— Lurline Salt Water Baths. Bush and Larkin sts.
