A committee of property owners visited the Board of Public Works yesterday to reques the co-operation of that body with the Board of Supervisors in fixing a uniform grade on Sixth street, between Folsom and Bryant. The commitiee re- ferred to the deplorable condition of the street and made an urgent plea for relief. Supervisor Maguire informed the com mittee that the City Attorney had ren- dered an opingon that the only legal grade was the one adopted in 1866 %ny En- gineer Grunsky stated that the street car company had built its tracks on that grade. The only remedy lies in the raising of the houses to conform to the grade as established in 1866.

Ah Hong, butler for Mrs. W. C. Talbot, | 1730 Jackson street, and Ah Jim, who does | the laundry work, went to the Chinese | Theater Thursday night.

He | knew one of the robbers, Wong Ling, but | the other three were strangers to him. | He was instructed to swear out warrants | for their arrest, and he did so before | Judge Cabaniss. CHARTER DID NOT ALTER SCHOOL BOARD STATUS By sustaining a demurrer Judge Seawell vesterday practically granted the Board - | of Education the right to proceed and try the charges against E. C. Kilpatrick, principal of the Business Evening School: <ilpatrick sued to restrain the board from hearing the charges against him on the | ground that they were preferred during | the term in office of the last board, and that the new board was not a eontinuance of the old one, as the charter governs the present body. Judge Seawell held a con- | trary opinion, and hence sustained a de- | murrer interposed by City and County | Attorney Lane to Kilpatrick’s petition for . | a writ of prohibition. — e Assaulted With a Hatchet.

George Hartwell, a carpenter, while at work on a bullding at View avenue and Elizabeth street fell from a scaffoldin, yesterday and received injuries whic caused his death while on the way to the City and County Hospital in the patrol wagon_from the Seventeenth-street sta- tion. Hartwell's misfortunes date back just one month ago, when, while at work on his house at 436 Athens street, which | he had finished, was burned down. At the time of the destruction of this house his vest, which was hanging on a nafl and contained $114 and a gold watch and chain, was lost, besides the house, which was partly insured, for $500. AKLAND, March 80.—Unconscious from smoke suffocation and in deadly peril of being burned to death, Max Bakar and George Bakar, young children of Peter Bakar, were dragged from a blazing bed at their home, 317 Fifth street, this morning. That the lit- tle fellows were not cremated was the re- sult of daring work on the part of Joseph Miclo, a young butcher employed by Bakar in his shop adjoining the residence. Through flame and smoke which almost overpowered him the youth fought his way to the sleeping children and dragged both of them to a place of safety. The little fellows were nearly déad when rescued, and only after several hours of hard work did the physiclans who were called manage to resuscitate them. The boys were found in the nick of time. ‘When young Miclo broke into the blazing chamber the lads’ bed was hidden in blinding smoke and the mattress was smoldering in slow fire, which broke into flames just as the young man had dragged the boys out. He was ohllsad to drop on the floor to save himself and literally haul the limp forms of the children out of the densely clouded room. The fire was discovered about 6 o’clock by Maggle Madden, a domestic employed TWO BO vS BURNING BED by the Bakars. She was in the kitchen fix‘ep&rlng breakfast, Bakar and Miclo aving gone to the shop. Suddenly a cloud of smoke burst upon the girl, who ran into a hallway only to be driven back by the thick, black mass. Mrs, Bakar was in another room, and the two women gave the alarm of fire, which attracted the men next door. Miclo was first to the house. “Save the children,” cried the women. Vithout hesitating the oun, man rushed through the house to tge childrens® bedroom and burst open the door. The suffocating clouds of smoke drove him back. A second time he pressed in, driven to da!reratlon by the crackling flames, and this time he succeeded in reaching the bedside in which slept the two boys. ‘The fire threatened to destroy tKe house, but the place was saved by prompt work of the firemen. What caused the blaze could not be explained by the family. The fire started near the bed, as the con- dition of the burned mattress indicated. It s supposed that a lighted candle used by one of the children had tipped over and had started a smoldering fire in the bed clothing, which did not break out seriously until hours after it caught. Max Bakar is nine years old and his brother is only three years of Their rescuer was uninjured, save for some slight choking from the smoke he inhaled. ters stand Justice of the Peace E. G. Dyer and Night Watchman Dunsmore of‘ Palo Alto and Deputy Constable Harris | of San Jose are accused of the most gross | maltreatment of justice. The facts appear as follows: On_the | 27th Inst. a warrant charging one Kim Guey with petty larceny was issued i Palo Alto by Justice Dyer. This warrant | was put in the hands of a San Jose dep- uty for service. | According to the statement made by | Miss Cameron_the girl, who is known to | her as Kum Foong, was arrested at the | | mission in San Francisco and taken to Palo Alto. She accompanied the girl to | the prison, but early in the morning Kum | Foong was taken from her. Miss Cn.rn-‘ eron was afterward informed that the| Chinese girl was haled into court at 2| o'clock in the morning, pleaded guilty, | was fined $ and was taken away by | some Chinese, presumably to be returned | to_the life from which she was rescued. | Judge Dyer says he did not consider | the holding of the court at such an hour | an irregular proceeding, and was unaware | of the fact that Miss Cameron was not informed of the trial. Palo Alto citizens | do not consider the matter so lightly, and will probe the affair to the bottom. | It appears that a similar case came up | in Palo Alto about a year ago, when practically the same partles were impli- cated.
