McCormick, general passenger manager of the Southern Pacific, will at- meeting of the Trans- enger One of the important nd one which be the f Siste of upon the | Chi d others exclusively the con. | in_religious work follow | Passenger officials of several Western s have been discu ing this ques- ss of late, some om of making reduced rates on of the religious followings of 1s €hould be abolished. Mr. McCormick is In favor of a liberal | policy ‘in dealing with the clergy. “They Ra\-: always received the benefit of half fare on our lines,” said he, “and I think the Transcontinental Association will ap- | prove our policy. We expect to adopt a lplam however,” which will simplify the s put in by each task of obtaining a cut rate and at the eame time prevent imposition, on the part company’s benevolence. ““Heretofore a clergyman has been obliged to secure letters from all the dif- ferent roads over which he is to nass be- fore being able to obtain a ticket at re- duced rates. The new plan Is to have the | ticket agent in the clergyman’s native | eity or town make out the pass. The agent being famillar with the people in | his own city, knows at once if the appll- | cart is entitled to a reduced fare. The | card will give the bearer the benefit of | 2 cut rate on any line connected with the Transcontinental Association.” F. H. McGuigan, general superintendent of the Grand Trunk, is to succeed Charles M. Hays as general manager of that road. The promotion of McGuigan s to be mada upon the recommendation of Mr. Hays, who was asked by the directors of the Grand Trunk to name some man to fiil the vacancy. This sets at res Damrosch playsona t the report that Hays 1 might bring McGuigan to the coast with him to act as his right-hand man. Mr. Hays has given out that he will not come to San Franctsco until he takes up his new work as president of the Southern Pacific, which will be early in January. It is sald that one of the conditions upon which he agreed to accept the position Is that he shall be given full power to make such changes in the executive offices of the company as he sees fit. ~-———— LOCAL OFFICIAL ADVANCED. The first advancement in local railroad circles since the re-election of President Mc¢Kinley was made vesterday when John A. Gill, Pacific Coast freight agent of the | New York Central lines, appointed W. 1. Smith to succeed M. E. AsRemnn as con tracting freight agent of tae Merchants Dispatch Transportation Com ny anc Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Rafl- way. | Mr. Smith has for several years held a similar position with the Star, Unio- and Pennsylvania lines in this city. Ile was also at one time connected with the Steinway Msr. Walter Damrosch, who is to conduct at the Grau nd operas, plays upon the gfimway at his piano recitals which he is giving in this city. The continual indorsement of Mr. Damrosch is sufficient to express his absolute faith in the Steinway. His judgment merits your consideration when you de- cide to purchase a piano.

RYAN'S defeat was a event for Willlam Watson. It not only was the means of landing him behind prison bars, but it stopped work on a three- | story buflding and kept Policeman O'Shea busy for an hour trying to straighten out a perplexing question. Here is the tale. thusiastic Bryanite. He was confident that the free silver advocate would be chosen to move his trunk into the White House. When his friend, Mike Noonan, dared to suggest that Willlam McKinley | had a lease on the Executive Mansion for four years to come, Watson showed his true sporting feather and made this bet: “If Mac wins out, Mike, I'll haul you In 8 wheelbarrow the length of Market street.” The battle was over and Mike hunted | up his human motive power yesterday. | #e was anxious to go to the ferry, ana sorry while the ride might be a little = slow, | still carfare would be saved and his | jJudgment over Watson's would be de- | | clared triumphant. | | ~What puzzled \atson was where a | | wheelbarrow could be secured. He over- came this difficulty easily when he came to a three-story bullding that was in the course of construction on Market street, near Sixth. A brick carrier was held up | and stood speechless for a few moments as he watched Noonan take the place of a load of bricks and Watson wheel him | | away. The loss of the wheelbarrow was | | too much for the builders, and it crippled | the advancement of their work. The boss of the gang joined a crowd of small boys that followed the bettors down | | Market street and, when he approached Third, he appealed to Policeman O'Shea THREE ENTHUSIASTS BORROW A WHEEL-BARROW TO SETTLE ANELECT- ‘Watson was an en- | | & —= THE COPPER" GATHERS IN THE ENTHUSIASTIC THREE, THE CONTRACTOR CALLS AN OFFICER TO RECOVER HIS VWHEELBARROW, FINALE= SLow CURTAIN.

There ain't a man that'll do a lick of work until the barrow goes back, and their pay has to go on just the same,” sald the boss. O’Shea enjoyed the novelty of the joke as much as anyone, but when he attempt- ed to reason with Watson, Watson be- | , came highly abusive. too many “bracers” to make him equal to his humiliating -task, and so was locked up for being drunk. The patrol wagon took the prisoner to City Hall and the boss took the bar- row back. Work s again in full blast on the new bulilding. MckENZIE FACES FEDERAL JUDCES Effort to Have Him Released on Bail in the Chipps Case. L Deputy United States Marshals Burn- ham and Monckton produced Receiver Al-; exander McKenzie yesterday morning be- | fore the United Btates Circuit Court of | Appeals, pursuant to the writ issued some | time ago by the court commanding Mc- Kenzie to appear and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt for having disobeyed an injunction issued by the cour Mr. McKenzie was represented by Frank Kellogg of St. Paul, Milton S. Gunn, Thomas J. Geary and R. B. Bee- { man. On the opposite side were E. 8. Pillsbury, J. C. Campbell, W. H. Metson | | and the firm of Page, McCutchen, Hard- | |ing & Knight. A motion that Mr. Me- Kenzie should be admitted to bail in the | | matter of the contempt proceedings in | the case of Anderson vs. Comtols was | | granted, and bail was fixed at $5000. In the cases of Tormanses vs. Melsing and | Kjellman vs. Rogers he was allowed to | @0 upon his own recognizance. In the case of Lindenberg vs. Chipps, the one that has been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, the court re- fused to make any order whatever. An adjournment was had until 11 o’clock | this morning, and it was agreed that in the interim the United States Supreme | Court should be asked to modify its order in the Chipps case 5o as to allow Mr. Mc- | Kenzie to be admitted to bail in that case | The attorneys on both sides are ready and eager for the fray, and they propose | to present in the hearing of the cases a | great array of sensational evidence. Pros- pective millions of dollars under the tun- dra and hundreds of thousands of dollars in hand are involved in the litigation. The attorneys for the'victims of Judge Noyes' executive ability in the way of placing mines in the hands of receivers propose to unearth a most audacious con- | slecy to seize and work valuable proper- | tles, and they will attempt to show that Judge Noyes, wittingly or unwittingly, layed into the hands of the conspirators. Fo'Fact, evidence will be forthcoming the tendency of which will be to connect Judge Noyes directly with the alleged un. lawful and high-handed acts of litigants fighting for the possession of the most valuable mining properties in the Nome district, i The methods adopted by the United States District Court at Nome are said to have no precedent for boldness in the gnnals of legal Jurisprudence in the United States. Opposed to one another are the best legal talent in the country, and they will convert the United States Circuit Court of Appeals into & battlefleld of forensic debate. st o L Stop Here and Read.

John Douglass, a carpenter in the Cor- poration Yard, is avthority for the state- ment that the ligktning which flashed across this city yesterday morning struck the figure on the dome of the New City | | | Hall with a terrific force, Douglass states that the impact of the uih!n ng against the bronze metal was so dazzling that it quite blinded him for the space of several seconds. Douglass says he was standing on the steps of the Mechanics’ Pavilion about 7 o'clock, preparatory to going to his labors in the Corporation Yard, which is located on City Hall avenue. 'All at once the lightning came and struck the metal fg- ure, accompanied by a reverberating noise. Douglass was o";“f:ld to take his y. eyes off the dome immediat N. W. Connor corroborates the state- ment of Douglass, with the exception that it seemed to him to be a ball of fire in- etead of coming in a direct line, as it ap- red to Douglass. Connor was standing n front of the Corporation Yard, where he is employed, at the time. Both men stood sti}, wondering what would hapgcn rext, and were agreeably relieved when no more lightning struck. The police officers who were on duty at the City Hall yesterday morning at the time of the 'visitation of the thunder storm were thrown into a condition of extreme nervousness. Immediately before the first clap of thunder the man who attends to the alarm in Captain Spillane’s department was sent jumping about the room as if he had been suddenly seized with an attack of fimjams, The batteries Wwere all set going at the same time and tslephone bells went ringing as it all the “hello” in the department had been at a spiritual seance and become charged with mediumistic influence. Not until quiet was restored, after the electric cur- rent which came 'as a warning of the thunder had burned out the fuses in the | batterles, did the policeman recover his usual tranquil condition. ———— The whiskey that touches the right spot every time is Jesse Moore; to be had from all first- class dealers. ————— Live Household Effects.

Butterworth does not sleep any more at night. He is to be found seated by the parlor windows of his home, at 2415 Folsom street, at all hours when off duty, keeping a constant watch on his front door steps. He hopes that the person who poured what he thinks was poison Into his milkcan will return and again attempt to kill off his whole family, and that he will be able to cap- ture the miscreant in the act and land him behind the bars. Butterworth is detailed to assist the Board of Health and has to a certaln ex- tent acted as milk inspector. Early last Monday morning his wife went as usual to the front door to bring in the milk from the porch. On opening the can Mrs. But- terworth discovered a red fluid floating on top of the milk, She Immediately threw the milk away. Later in the morning Butterworth’'s mother went to wash the front steps and found that where the can had been standing the paint was all burn- ed away by contact with some acid. Fur- ther investigation proved that some per- son had run up the stairs, poured an acld into the milkcan, evidently sulphuric acid and bychromote of potash, and in his haste ‘had spilled it over the can, the steps and the front sidewalk. The matter was reported to the police, who are inves- tigating the case. Butterworth and his wife are very happy that they discovered the poison when they did, as the breakfast of their three small children is largely composed of milk. Butterworth has no clew to the miscreant who attempted the deed, but he is under the impression that he will re- turn, and is prepared to give him a very warm reception. All your money refunded by any dealer if not satisfled with a smoke of the ‘‘American’ clear Havana cigar. . —_———— POOLSELLING CASES CONTINUED TO BE SET District Attorney Byington Will Ask Judge Mogan That Trials Be Begun at Once. Seven poolsellers’ cases were called in Judge Mogan's courtroom yesterday, Judge Cabaniss being on the bench in tha unavoldable absence of Mogan. As in the-cases in the other courts Attorney Coffey, the special prosecutor, asked for a continuance for two weeks pending the decision of the Superior, Court on the ap- peal cases to test the constitutionality of the ordinance, but Assistant District At- torney Harris, by instructions from Dis- trict Attorney Byington, objected. He wanted the cases set for a speedy trial, Coffey explained that he and Attorney Collins, for the defendants, had agreed to the continuance, as the understanding was that in the event of the constitution. ality of the ordinance belnf sustained the defendants would f)lead guilty and go out of the business. It was fnally arranged that the cases be continued. til] to-dms e be set by Judge Mogan. Collins will be notified to be present. ———— Trunks & traveling bags.
