Chairman Byington, who in- troduced the order, was very anxlous that it should receive favorable consideration from his colleagues, Algeltinger and Phelps, but the latter voted against him. | Aigeltinger explained his ‘vote by saving that he had received positive information | from a leading street railway official that the wages of employes would be mate- ! rially reduced if the proposed reductions were put in effect. He expressed himgelf as having been at one time in favor of | the order, but he did not like to see wage | earners suffer, and therefore was opposed to a favorable recommendation.

ITH prayers and eulogies the body of the late John W. Muirhead was carried from his late home, Larkin and Hayes streets, yesterday afternoon. Shortly after 1 o'clock the remains were carried from the former residence of the deceased to Scottish Hall. Judge Charles W. Slack, George Davidson, John T. Sullivan, John W. Gillmore, John Mc- Laren, Samuel Irving, John H. Duncan and Henry Peterson acted as pallbear- ers, and, with the family and many friends of the dead, gathered beside the coffin as the prayers for the repose of his soul were intoned. Rev. Dr. Mac- kenzle of the First Presbyterian Church delivered the funeral sermon and a panegyric in his memory. “And there shall be nonight there,” spoke the minis- ter. ““This is no time for a eulogy,” he continued, “as it would be contrary to the taste of the dead. You all knew him to be an upright, honorable, cheerful, sociable man. We come to offer condolence to his family and prayers for him who has crossed the threshold into eternity. Life was as sweet to him as to vou and me, but during the long days of suffering, the aching hours of night, his lips moved in prayer to God to take him from his pain, and I apprenend that when he lay back upon his pillow in his last sleep that those who knew him said ‘Thank God,’ for then the pain of life was done.” The choir of the First Presbyterian Church, almost obscured from view | erlands Soclety, “Wilkelmina,” Oom Paul | @ penind the banks of beautiful flowcrs sent by sympathetic friends, delivered Kruger and his doughty aids-de-camp | | the funeral hymn.

F. Groh rapped for order until poet Joaquin Miller's dripping hat heralded the advent of the “Singer of the Sierras’” himself, who arrived just In time to fire a patriotic shot before final ad- journment. At the opening of the meeting President Groh reported that the mass-meeting { would be enlivened with music rendered by an orchestra selected from the various German societies, under the direction of Professor Ernest Werner. He further | stated that th akers’ committee, ct posed of Supervisor Deasy, Rev. H. Shepard and him: had seen Mayor Phelan and asked that official to act as chairman. Mayor Phelan had thought | best not to take so prominent a part in the meeting, but had promised to make a brief address. Rev. Mr. Shepard then presented the names of four persons who nad consented to address the meeting: Mayor Phelan, ex-Judge Robert Ferral, Rev. Julius Fuendeling and Joaquin Miller. It was explained later on that the part the poet would take would be the recitation of an original poem. The preacher seemed to be somewhat annoyed at the attitude of Governor Gage, who failed to take any notice of the committee until he had been written one and telegraphed twice. The private secretary of the Executive then | sent word that Mr. Gage declined to be- come identified with the affair. The re port was received as progressive on ac- count of a desire manl(réned by a number present that speakers be secured repre- sentative of the Swiss, French, Russian and Itallan nationalitfes. Treasurer E. T. Cavalho reported that letters had been sent a large number of men of national renown asking them to ! send messages of sympathy for the move- ment, to be read from the platform on the night of the mass-meeting. Amecng those addressed were Senators Tillman, Haw- ley, Mason, Pettigrew, Bacon, Foraker, Hoar, Daniels and Morgan, Archbishop Ireland, Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, Editors Pul- itzer of the World and Wafterson of the Courier-Journal, _ex-President Harrison and Bourke Cochran. By unanimous consent Judge M. Cooney was selected to officiate as chairman of the mass-meeting.

L. C. Cnopius was appointed chairman of the reception committee, with power to appoint fourteen aids. His wife, the only lady present, was chosen organizer of a ladies’ auxiNary to the Transvaal committee. The meeting adjourned after Judge Cooney, President Groh and Secretary L. K. P. 'Van Baggen had been elected a committee to draw up a series of resolu- | tions to be presented to the mass-meeting. RECEPTION TENDERED REV. FATHER KENNEDY Rev. Cornelius E. Kennedy, who was re- cently ordained in Philadelphia by Car- dinal Gibbons, and who will on Sunday next celebrate his first mass at St. Mary's Cathedral, was the guest of honor at a reception tendered him last Monday even- ing by Company A, League of the Cross any, at 614 Van Cadets. The quarters of the tom‘p Ness avenue, were prettily decorated in his honor and crowded with members and friends of the organization. An excellent programme was rendered by volunteers and refreshments were dispensed with a enerous hand. R Fathers Hannigan, empsey and O'Ryan of St. Mary's Ca- thedral lent their presence and aid in making the reception to one of the organ- izers of the famous organization a suc- cess. Father Kennedy was heartily greeted on his entrance to the hall, and when he arose to express his sentiments he was accorded an ovation, He told of the days when he was a member of Company A, of the picasures he had while amohg those who then composed the company and what delight it gave him to once more greet those who have taken their places in the ranks. He also sald that his inter- est In the resiment would never flag and that he would do everything in his power to advance Its interests. Hig remarks were enthusiastically received. Dr. Willlam C. Hopper, captain of the company, next introduced Lleutenant Dowdall, a member of the California Vol unteers, who lectured on his trip and ex- periences while in the Isle of Spices.

Barduhn; secre- tary, C. F. Kimball; treasurer, George Gutherfe, and sergeant at arms, Robert Davis. An executive committee, com- posed of Peter Stolberg, Patrick Reilly, William Seibert, A. Toombs and A. A. Schuhman, was also appointed. J. Boodt, A. Kralg and Frank Kimball were ap- pointed delegates to the Mission Federa- tion of Improvement Clubs, The club has proven a powerful factor in the development of the western slope of Potrero Heights. Through its efforts the Market Street Rallway Company was prevailed upon to extend its line on ‘Twenty-fourth street, from Potrero ave- nue to Rhode Island street. The street has been torn up and the track is now in course of construction and when com- pleted will increase the property values of that district. The members of the Nuevo Club are now laboring to have the City and County Hospital removed, on the ground that it is a menace to health and has a tendency to depreciate property values. Although it is understood that the hospital is to be removed to the Alms- house tract in the near future, the resi- dents in its vicinity decline to wait, and they are making every effort to bring about its removal. A special committee, consisting of Patrick Rellly, Peter Stol- berg. George Gutherie and C. F. Kimball, attorney for the club, has been appointed to draw up a proper petition for presenta- tion at the proper time. The storm prevented a number of mem- bers of the Point Lobos Improvement Club from attending last night's meeting. It was the intention of the members to | elect officers for the ensuing year, but this was continued until the next meet- | ing. The appointees of Mayor Phelan to the several commissions were approved and it was hoped that a new era of pros- perity was about to commence in the city under the new administration. Contractors Pleaded Guilty. James Campbell and Thomas A. Pettus, contractors for the building of a naval training station at Goat Island, pleaded guilty in the United States District Court esterday to the charge of violating the ‘ederal efght-hour law.
