I went through the form of reading the war- rants to them, all of which, of course, had no meaning for them. Before I went away I admonished ithem to keep out of mischief and their mother told them I was a policeman. Mrs. Borman promised to call upon Justice Morris and settle the difficulty with him. The arrangement was satisfactory to me, and 1 came away without bringing the culprits I expected to_put in the City Jail."” Mrs. Borman explained to the Con- stable that if her children were to suffer arrest the children of the entire neigh- borhood should be arrested too, for they were all concerned in the mischievous attack on the plaster. She said she would have chastised her children had she known they were implicated in the work of devszstation. An examination of the premises con- firmed the statement of Brammann that the house had been injured. The chil- dren had swept their fingers across the fresh plaster in every room of the house. There were three distinct divisions of marks, showing the relative sizes of the | | | | miscreants. In the basement rooms the walls were adorned with all the letters of the alphabet, from A to Z, and all shapes and sizes. Brammann does not make any explana. tion for his action, except that his pro erty had been Injured and he thought that the arrest would be a good lesson. “It will take five men five days to bring order out of the wreck,” sald Contractor Brammann this afternoon. “The plaster was of the rough finish variety—the kind that cannot be repaired by patching.

Edward Reese, a water tender on the steamer Mariposa, was atacked by four men at the corner of East and Jackson streets at 9 o’clock last night and beaten into insensibility. Reese is a non-union worker and he was warned not to leave the ship at night. He suffered a severe scalp wound and contusions of the face, which were treated at the Harbor Hos- pital. : Andrea Andrick, a Chilean fireman em- solo, ploved on the steamer Palena, was found Iying in a pool of blood under the coal bunkers on Bast street, near Howard, at 11 o'clock last night. He was badly cut about the head and face. Andrick savs he was assaulted by several men, pre- sumably strikers. Charles Shaw and James Cotter, strik- ing firemen, boarded a Kearny-street car last night in which were seated about twenty non-union men and started to beat them with “blackjacks.” Policemen Bell and McGrayan went to the rescue of the non-union men and after a short struggle they succeeded in arresting Shaw At the City Prison they were charged with battery and disturbing the peace. —_——— Policemen Get Their Pay. The offices of the Auditor and Treas- urer were kept open until 8:30 o’clock last evening for the purpose of paying off the policemen for the month of August. The fact that some of the policemen are de- tailed on strike duty until 6 o’clock made it impossible for them to draw their monthly wages during the day and the offices were kept open as a matter of con- venience. CLEVER CHILDREN GIVE CREDITABLE PERFORMANCE Pupils of Mrs. Carro True Boardman Present a Fairy Play at Sher- man-Clay Hall. A crowded house last night greeted the dainty entertainment given by the pupils of Mrs, Carro True Boardman at Sher- man-Clay Hall. The programme was di- vided intd three parts—first, a fairy play, “The Lost Prince! written and ar- ranged by Mrs. Boardman: s-cond, a Song and dance programme, and third, a pretty illusion entitled “A Venetian Garden by Moonlight.” ~ A large number of clever children took part in the performance in | a manner that was highly creditable to their teacher and themselves, and the scenic settings of the little plays and cos- tumes of the little players were of the very prettiest possible fashion.

The Supervisors’ Judiclary and License Committee yesterday considered the pro- posed ordinance increasing the license tax on street cars from $15 to $50 per annum. Attorney Foulds appeared before the com- mittee and pleaded that the Market-street Railway Company already paid $381,735 47 yearly in taxes. Foulds also called at- tention to the fact that pelicemen and firemen are allowed to ride free and school children were carried for half fare, cost- ing the company $1000 per month. The corr mittee recommended that the officials of the company be summoned to furnish information requested of them in a series of questions. st LT e Prisoner Escapes From Jail. Daniel Morris, who was sentenced to County Jail No. 2 August 3 for five months for petty larceny, escaped from that institution on Thursday about 4 o'clock. Morris, whose true name is Ber- tram F. Roerig, was a trusty on one of the gates. It is thought that he made a key with which he opened the gate. After locking it from the outside Morris plug- ged up the hole with dirt. His escape was discovered soon afterward, but it was im- possible to open the gate for about Af- teen minutes. In the meantime Morris got safely away. The Sheriff’s deputies expect to capture Morris in Los Angeles, ywhere he resided previous to his commit: men R PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.—John L.

A R Coming CQonference Will Dis- pose of Much Important Business. S, eniiy Special Dispatch to The Call PACIFIC GROVE, Aug. 30.—Prepara- tions are already actively under way for the reception and entertainment of dele- gates and other visitors to the California Annual Methodist Episcopal Conference, which will convene in Pacific Grove on September 12. Already there is talk of the anticipated shake-up in Methodist pastorates throughout the State. This vear's conference is expected to be an ex- ceptionally busy one, and a long session is looked for. Bishop Charles C. McCabe of Omaha will preside in the absence of Bishop Hamilton of California, ‘who is now in Europe, and it is belleved by some that his ministerial appointments will cause a moving about among the clergy the like of which has not been known since the late Bishop Newman took up his residence in California and made the con- ference over to suit his own ideas. The removal of the time limit by the last General Conference does not affect the Episcopal prerogative in regard to the transference of pastors, and the dearly loved itinerancy of Methodism is pre- served by each pastor being appointed to his charge for one year only. Two San Francisco churches that will of necessity have new pastors after the coming conference are Central Church and Grace Church. Rev. Dr. Hutsinpilier of the former is transferred to an Bast- ern pulpit and Rev. Dr. Beard of the lat- ter has_recently accepted the presidency of the National Deaconess’ Board. How- ard-street Church will also have a new pastor, as Dr. J. A. B. Wilson goes to Central Church in_ Stockton, Dr. W. C. Evans of that church being booked for one of the San Francisco pulpits. There prob- ably will be no change in the presiding elderships of the conference, except that of the San Francisco district. Dr. W. W. Case, now presiding elder, has long wish- ed a pastorate, preferrably that of Pacific Grove, and there is talk of his wish being gratified this year. If this be done Dr. W. C. Gray, now pastor of the Pacific Grove church, who acted for Dr. Casé during the latter's absence in the Holy Land last | spring, probably will be his successor. The conference prover will open on the morning of Thursday, September 12, but a preliminary reception to Bishop McCabe, with an address of welcome by Dr. E. R. Dille, will occur on Wednesday evening. Bishop McCabe is expected to arrive here on the 10th. @ riviiirfefefefeeufuinininiufiuioieieh @ NEW REWARIS FOR OFFIGER President Announces a Number of Important Promotions.

I, Aug. 30.—Cres- ceus failed to lower the world’s trotting record in his start against time at Nar- ragansett Park this afternoon. His time was 2:05 flat. The attempt to break the record was not made until after 6 o’clock, when the wind had died down. The track was smoothed cver, and was in the best of condition for the champion's footing. He scored dowa once, but did not get a ®ood start. The second time George Ketcham nodd- ed for the word, but Cresceus went off his feet in the stretch, and he came down once more. A runner followed, and a hundred watchLes were snapped on the reat chestnut as he shot under the wire. %Ie got to the quarter in :31%, where a second runner joined and took a position a length behind the first. The half was done in 1:02%, and the three-quarters in 1:3415, and hope of breaking the record was gone, but Cresceus came home strong between the two runners, making the last quarter in :30% and the mile in 2:05 flat, Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister, saw the great mile from the judges’ gtand, and was an interested spectator of the other races, which he witnessed from a box. Summary: 2:08 clags, pace, purse $1500—Dan Patchen won three straight heats. Best time, 2:04%. Ma- zotte, Major Muscovite, Mayine, Harold, The Bishop, Raymond, Emma E, Artalco, Darlel and The Admiral also started. 2:14 class, pacing, $1500—Coxey won the fifth, sixth and_seventh heats.

She has been given a most care- ful education, which has been finished by a trip through Burope with her mother. [ J GRAND CELEBRATION THE AIM OF ALL IRISHMEN New Features Are—;;.ing Added to the Big Programme for Ad- mission Day. Great preparations are being made by the various committees of the Celtic U Tn- ion for the celebration to be held at Glen Park on Admission day. The executive committee met last night and received glowing reports from each of the sub- committees. The expectation of each was that the celebration would be the great- est event in the history of the Irish race in this city. One of the features will be the display of fireworks. There will be busts of, Em- mett, Parnell and other noted Irish lead- ers, batteries of rockets and shells, con- cluding with a grand_final piece, “The Dawn of Freedom in Ireland.” Dancing will follow the fireworks. Many prizes are being donated for the games, which will commence in the morn- ing. The literary exercises will take place in the afternoon. The reading of the competitive essays and poems will form a feature of striking interest. The subject of the essay will be the ‘“‘Utility of the Revival of the Irish Language,” and for the poem the “Siege of Limerick.” As a preliminary to the big celebration there will be a dress rehearsal at K. R. B. Hall, 1133 Mission street, on Sunday after- noon. Those who will take part in the dances will be expected to be present. Addresses and music will be furnished by well-known speakers and local talent. —————————— YACHTSMEN UNITE FOR AN OUTSIDE CRUISE California and San Francisco Ama- teur Sailors Will Spend Admission Day at Drakes Bay. The San Francisco Yacht Club has de- cided to postpone its scheduled cruise to Drakes Bay, which was to have begun to-day, to Admission day holidays. Next Saturday, September 7, the San Francisco and California Yacht clubs will join forces and start out for Drakes Bay, which shotld be reached that night. The fol- lowing day will be spent in fishing and sports ashore and on Admission day the yachts will crulse home to Sausalito and Oakland Creek. The San Francisco Club has a crpise to McNears Landing and a clam bake scheduled for September 7 anfi 8, but these have been called off. It is expected that the following yachts will make the cruise: The schooner Chis- pa, the yawl Tramontana, the sloops The- tis and Cygnus and possibly the yawl Royal of the San Francisco Yacht Club; the yawl Idler and the sloops Alert, Pac- tolus and Surf of the California Yacht familiar with Drakes Bay and will act as a pilot for the fleet. As it is low water at 12:41 p. m. on Saturday, September 7, the yachts will have to buck a flood jtide on leaving the bay, but after Duxbury Reef is passed they will get into a cur- rent which sets in a northerly direction and will help them to their destination. As the foggy weather may reasonably be expected to pass away in a few days, a pleasant cruise is looked forward to by the yachtsmen. To-day the Corinthian and California Yacht clubs will cruise to MeNears Land- ing, going on up to Lakeville on the Peta- luma Creek to-morrow and returning on Labor day. The cruise of the San n- cisco Yacht Club to Drakes Bay was or- iginally set down for to-day, but as it has been deferred till next week the owners will spend the Labor day holidays in crulsing at will.

Terrell, Who Is Wanted in Interior of the State. Sheriff R. J. Langiord of San Jose and Detective Tom Ryan of this city arrested Ed G. Terrell in a saloon at 8§76 Mission street last night. The specific charge on which Terrell is wanted is robbery com- mitted in the Garden City last week. After Terrell was taken into custody it | was found that he is wanted for victim- izing business people in many parts of the country. The police also believe him responsible for a number of recent hold- ups in the neighborhood of Mission and Fifth streets. One week ago yesterday Terrell and a man named Louls Munk were drinking in a San Jose saloon. Munk exhibited con- siderable coin and was found soon after- ward lying unconscious in the rear of the drinking house. He had been struck over the head with a heavy iron bar and robbed. He did not recover consciousness until yesterday. At the Central police station Terrell was identifled as the man who was with J. F. Stewart, an ex-police officer, when he was robbed in daylight on Hayes street abgut iwo years ago. The responsibility for the latter crime was never fixed. was also found that the prisoner had been traveling through the country represent- ing himself as a correspondent of the New York World. On the strength of this self- assumed position he collected thousands of dollars from business men, whose names and addresses are in a book found in his possession. He travels in a bicycle suit and is accompanied by a woman and two children. The officers are looking f: the woman.

The Supervisors’ Judiciary Committee yesterday reported adversely to the reso- lution declaring the street sweeping con- tract of Gray Bros. at an end because of alleged viglation of the ‘‘eight-hour” la- bor clause in the charter.
