Aichough 1t was understood that the Mayor would give out the list last Mon- morning there was a delay caused by he opposition to the name of Marsden Manson, whom Mayor Phelan desired to eappoint on the Board of Public Works. During the last year Commissioner Man- Hecht, reap- B. Lewitt, to | son has clashed frequently with some of he Superv over the question of the manner of paving certain downtown treets. The Supervisors serving on the ‘'ommittee on Streets urged the appoint some one in place of Mr. Man: with whom they could work in harmony.

The consultation with Colonel Mendell lasted until 6 in the evening, at which hour the Mayor consented to make public the list of appointments for new Commis- sioners, as already stated. Regarding the appointment of Mr. Man- son on the Board of Public Works, the Mayor says: *“If Mr. Manson was not ap- pointed the Mayor another Non-Partisan, but could not ap- point a straightout Democrat, because the arter provides that not more than one Commissioner shall belong to the same political party. In_selecting Colonel Howell to succeed Dr. Nutt on the Police Commission the Mayor feels that it was an ogportunny to introduce new and young blood into the administration. Dr. Lewitt, who succeeds Dr. Bazet on the Health Board, was stated by the Mayor to be agreeable to the other mem- be; and Dr. Bazet declined to accept another term of office, as he is acting po- lice surgeon. * Concerning the selection of W, §.

Heartrending Scene at Presidio Hos- pital When Loving Parent Hears of Her Boy's Death. —_— A sad scene was enacted yesterday at the general hospital, In which a mother, calling at the hospital to welcome home a son returned from the Philippines, found David L. Brodek, a private in the Fourth Cavairy, suffering from the dread dysentery, was sent home on the Sherman, but unfor- tunately the disease had taken too firm a hold on his system and the voyage falled to benefit him. When he arrived at the hospital he was very low, but it was not expected that death was so near. Word was sent to his mother, who resides in this city, that he had arrived. The mother, who for weeks past had been scanning the papers for news of her son, received the iangs with tears of joy and hastened to the Fresidio. When she arrived there and announced herself as the mother of the sick soldier a silence fell over the group of hospital corps men in the office. ramiliar as they were with death and suffering, not one of them wanted to teil the expectant mother that but a moment or two before’ Ler arrivar the son had ex- pired. When 1t was finally told her the poor woman refused to beueve the state- ment, insisung, despite the tender man- ner in whnich the taie of her son’s death was repeated, that he was suil in the hos- pital. W hen' finaily it dawned upon her that she never again would see her boy her anguish was terrible to behold. Strong-hearted men who have witnessed suffering and death in its worst forms turned away. The sufiering of a mother bereaved was more than they could bear. Ihe dead soldier was a resident of San Francisco, but nad been in the army for a number of years. He had a bniliant record, and was one of the best liked men in his company. He will be buried from ilh general hospital to-day with military honors. Orders were. recelved yesterday at the recruit camp to get ready for service in the Philippines ail the assigned recruits. They will sall on the transport Grant, which leaves this port on the Isth inst. Acting Assistant Surgeon Carroll D. Buck has been ordered to temporary duty at the general hospital, awaiting trans- portation abroad. first Lieutenant Herman A. Sievert, Fourth Cavalry, has been assigned to duty with the recruits in Model camp. Captain Edward G. Beeson, assistant surgeon, Thirty-ninth Volunteer Infantry, bas been ordered to duty at the general hospital. The duty is but temporary, as he is under orders to proceed to the Phil- ippines. Ihe following named acting assistant surgeons have been ordered from varfous points in the East to duty in the general hospital while awaitirg transportation abroad: Jnh) H Allen, Henry D. Brown, William F. ham, Lawrence McEvoy, Fradenek . Mille: Joseph Pettyjohn, Richard J. Price, Joseph W. Reddy and Shannon Richmond. A detachment of fifty re, cents is being formed at the Presidio for duty at San Diego Barracks. It will be commanded by Lieutenant John P. Hains, Third Artillery, and will leave here about the 12th inst. It is proposed to make up the detachment of men vghnse speedy re- covery will prove of benefit to the service, and in accordance with this idea a large number of non-commissioned officers will be sent. The six hundred and odd recruits occu- pying the Model Camp at the Presidio will be inspected by General Shafter this morning. Constant drilling has rendered the men fairly expert; infact, most of them when put to the test act like vete- rans. Care has been exercised in select- ing the non-commissioned officers, those in charge choosing where possible men who_have teen service before, with the result that the officers in charge of the camp feel confident that the inspection will be a source of satisfaction to the department commander. The men drew new clothes yesterday, and the neatness of the new outfits will add not a little to their appearance. SON OF RABBI LEVY 2 IS STRICKEN BY DEATH In Flower of His Youth Alphonse J. Levy Falls Victim of Dread Appendicitis. In the passing of Alphonse J. Levy, sec- ond son of Rabbi M. S. Levy of the Con- gregation Beth Israel, local society will feel a severe loss, none the less poignant in that it came suddenly. On Monday afternoon Alphonse J.

The case was almos hopeless from the first, but the physicia 1\ fought bravely, though in vain. The deceased was a prominent factor in the china department of Nathan, Dohr- mann & Co. The firm nad promised to advance him ere long, but death cut short these plans. The funeral will take place at 10 o’clock from the family residence, 1359 Post street.

Heinlen of Lresmoore Seeks Satis- faction From the Railroad Commissioners. The Rallroad Commissioners held a short meeting yesterday afternoon, ex- pecting to hear from the Attorney Gen- eral, to whom was referred the evidence in the qase of the Los Angeles Traffic As- sociation against the Santa Fe Railroad Company for alleged discrimination in rates. No opinion was at hand, however, d it was learned that Mr. Ford had gone to Sacramento. The only other matter to come up at the meeting was a communication in the form of a protest from J. Heinlen of Lemoore, who alleges that the Southern Pacific has been cvercharxing him for the transpor- tation of old street railway cable, which Heinlen purchased for junk. He says it cost him $99 13 to get fifteen reels of the cabla trapsported from this city to Le- moore. He desires that the Commission- €ers lnvuupte the charges and set a fair rice to te paid. The board decided to Euve a copy of the protest sent to the Southern Pacific Company, together with a request to explain the circumstances of the case. The Taqua Investigation. Inspectors of Hulls and Bollers Bolles and Bulger wiil hold an inquiry into the wreck of the steam schooner Iaqua to- morrow afternoon. Some sensational tes- timony is expected, and In any event the biame for the disaster Wil be placed where it belongs. The Iaqua still lies at Mission Rock, and the Christmas trees with which she was decked when leavi ing Eureka are stil at her masthead. It doubtin whether anything will be done with the vessei untll after the Inquiry is finished. ————— Stevedore Injured. ‘While at work on the steamer Pomona yesterday Joseph Rodgers received whar ma: bl ove fatal injuries.
