SMALL SHAREHOLDERS SAVED RADICAL ACTION OF STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE. Officials of the Lighting Company Will Fight the Proposed Re- duction of Rates by the Supervisors. The shares of the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company were not listed at the Stock and Bond Exchange yesterday.

Thepricesof s were affected noticeably by the an- nouncement of the incorporationof the In- dependent Electric Light and Power Com- pany last Wednesday. The stock dropped off several points, going down from $8 to 75. On top of this came the radical action of the Supervi reducing the price of gas to private consumers from $175 per | thousand feet to $110. The brokers knew there could be but one result when the public became informed of the cut in | rates. The reduction in rates meant a corresponding reduction in price of stock consequent upon the efforts to unload be- lf(flrr- the bottom dropped out of the mar- et.

President Crockett took a philosophic view of the matter yesterday. “I have not canvassed the situation either with the officers of the company or with our attorneys,” he sald. ‘‘There Is no necessity of haste, as we feel sure matters will adjust_themselves satisfac- torily in due time.

J. W. Erwin Was Again Chosen Its President Last Evening. The annual meeting and election of offi- cers of the California Camera Club was held last evening in the rooms of the club at the Academy of Sciences bullding. The annual reports of the officers showed | a remarkable progression in the affairs | of the club. During the year 13 new | members have been added to the rollcall, and 34000 expended in equipping the art department and gallery with every pra tical appliance known to modern photog- raphy. The organization is now not only the most successful and largest in point | of membership, but the most thoroughly | equipped in thé United States. The re- | port of the president, J. W. Erwin, now reorganizing the postal system in Cuba, was read and adopted. After minor business pensed with the club pr election of officers, wit | sult: J. W. Erwin, president; . | lard, first vice president; W. B. Webste second vice president; 1 B. Hosmer. had been dis- | oceeded with the the following re- Dol- s M. A, Greenlaw, llbrarian; H. B. . 3. J. B. Argenti, W. J. Street | and J. W. Finnigan directors. The only | changes fade in: the old board were | Greenlaw vice Argentl as librarfan, and Argentl and Finnigan vice Webster and | Sully as directors. The re-election of President Erwin was telegraphed him last night. Before the meeting adjourned it was decided to amend the by-IAws and return to holding monthly meetings, which was changed a year ago. This is for the pur- pose of bringing members closer in com- munication with each other and for im- proving the social condition of the club. —_——————— MIDNIGHT QUARREL. Two Italian Fruit Dealers at the Point of Death From Pistol and Knife Wounds. As a result of a trivial quarrel Amado de Gracia and A. Arappa, two Itallan fruit dealers, are, lying at the Harbor Receiv- ing Hospital suffering from knife and bul- let wounds and may not recover. The two men met in Juba’ Broadway last night and quarreled. | Arappa left to avoid trouble, He had walked but a short distance when De Gracia overtook him and struck him on the head with a knife, inflicting a nasty wound, and as the assaulted man turned around to discover his assailant he was stabbed again over the right breast. In an effort to escape further injury the wounded man_ rushed into ihe middle of the street, and as De Gracia continued to follow him Arappa pulled out his pistol and fired three times at him. Two of the bullets took effect —one over the right eye and the other in the abdomen, of the pistol shots attracted the police, and both men were hurriedly sent to the hospital. 2 Dr. Himmelsbach found a three-inch in- cised scalp wound on Arappa's head and a two-inch wound over the pectoral mus- cle. His wounds were dressed and he was put to bed. The physician extracted the bullet that had lodged over De Gracia's eve, but no amount of probing could locate ‘the one that had entered the abdomen. He was also placed in the ward close to the man he tried to kill. A policeman was detailed to watch both men, as It was feared they might renew_their quarrel. Detectives McMahon and Wrenn visited the hospital shortly after the: men reached there and took their ante-mor- tem statements. The storfes told by each did not vary to any great extent. De Gracia stated that Arappa dnsulted him on Sunday evening, and when he met him last night he tried to get the latter to explain his conduct. . The weapon used by De Gracia was a pocket-knife, with a three-inch blade shaped like a bowie-knife. caliber. De Gracla resides at Stockton and Broadway. He is well known to the po- lice as a quarrelsome and dangerous man. He is said to have stabbed persons in Ttaly and since his arrival in_this coun- try. Arappa lives at 327 Broadway. Both men are about 35 vears of age. Although the wounds are dangerous the doctor has hope for their recov MOTHERS CHASTISE A HUMAN BRUTE CHARLES NELSON ATTACKED AS HE LEAVES COURT.

Stella Hassell, a colored woman, was arrested last night and lodged in the har- bor police station on charges of passing counterfeit coin and of battery, preferred by L. H. Guest, conuductor on_al Mission street car. Guest claims the woman boarded the ‘car at Steuart street and handed him a bogus dollar. Just before the car came to a stop at the ferry he discovered that the coin was bad and ac- cused her of having given it to him. She not only denied this, but struck him a blow in the face. In evidence he shows a dollar apparently made of glass and iron and a badly cut face. Stella denies this, She says she boarded the car at Third street, that she passed out good money and did not strike Guest. She admits that he attempted to prevent her from leaving the car and that she pushed him against the door. ADVERTIS! If YOU WANT “THE of Hungary, owned by ANDREAS SAXLEHNER, EMENTS.

Feature of the “Ladies’ Night"” Entertainment. “Ladies’ night” at the Olympic Club drew a fair attendance last evening, and the programme rendered for the delecta- tion of the fair sex was all that could be desired in the way of indoor sport. Leader Hammersmith, who had charge of the attractive and well ~ appreciated show even though he did for the nonce elimi nate boxing contests from the list of at- The feature of the programme was the indoor baseball game_between the Olym- pics and the Young Men's Christian As- socfation. It proved to be the last of the series arranged between these teams and the Rellance Athletic Club team for the champlonship of the Pacific Coast, as by winning the Olympics chnched ' their claim to the titie and took possession of the trophy, a handsome gold cup properly inscribed. The entertainment opened with a potato race, in which there were seven conte: tants. Lester Hammersmith, with a han- gicap of four pgtatoes, won, with George Klarmann, scrateh, second. Oata Crable was the first to fill his bucket, but was disqualified because his shoes were not mates, or for some equally good reason. The other contestants were F. W. Bur- gess, W. Bush, E. Connolly and George | Hinkle. Then came the indoor baseball game. The teams lined up as follows: Olympié: Positions. ¥ A, 3. Jams. . Foran J. W. Norti H. Barbour H. Monahan. McShane €. Derham. econd base .F. Shaw W. H. Hanrahan..Third base...D. J. Hanrahan F. Follansbee -C. J. Bernhard | C. Kreling. .P. Scott L. Follansbee. e Toohy V. M. McLaine., H.'S. Morton The umpires were: George Knell for the Olympics and Mr. Fowler for the Y. M C."A. Scorers, W. Taylor for the Olym- pies and Dr. H. L. Dietz for the Y. . The Y. M. C. A, were the first at bat, | but were quickly retired, and in their half of the inning the Olymplcs scored three runs. At the end of the second inning the score £tood § to 0 in favor of the Olympics and they maintained a safe lead to the close, notwithstanding the efforts of their opponents to even up matters. The latter | were clearly outclassed. Some of the in- dividual players played an excellent game but the team lacked the vim of the Olym- | ples and was decidedly weak in the field. The score was as follows: Y. M. C. A 000141110-8 Oiympic 350710423 18 The Olympics won four games out of six in the tournament, the Reliance two out of five and the Y. M. C. A. two out of five. Had the Y. M. C. A. won last night they would have tied the Olympic, and as they had another game scheduled with the Rellance, might have won the trophy. As it is, however, there will be no neces- sity for playing the remdining game. ‘.lyha entertalnment concluded with an exhibition game of water polo between the Bullfrogs and the Pollywogs, which was won by the former, and an exhibition of fancy diving. . Manager Stone will take the Olympic indoor baseball team to Stockton Satur- day night to play a game with the Stock- ton Athletic Association team next Sune day afternoon. o HORSEMEN FIGHTING IT OUT IN COURT FRED FOSTER CARRYING $50,000 IN BAILBONDS.
