Clamped Button to Her Finger. Rose Brady, a voung miss of 16, was ted at the Harbor Hospital for a pe- t cullar accident yesterday. She works in an overall factory near the water front and was engaged in putting buttons on the garments. The work is done by ma- chinery, as the buttons, instead of being sewed on, are clamped. Rose was talking to one of her fellow workers and not pay- i attention to her work. In consequence on in it got under the machine and then came the catastro- phe. Miss Brady's finger was securely buttoned and it took the doctor at ths al nearly half an hour to cut it out. » of the nervous shock the young lady is not seriously injured. Water Front Notes.

GOLLING QUITS GASE IN ANGER Resents Statement Made by Maud Nevill, His Client. She Intimates Her Attorney Is Not Sufficiently ‘Watchful. tenance suit, which is being heard by Judge Sloss, were brought to a temporary close yesterday afternoon by an episode that verged on the sensational. Maud Nevill, by whom the suit was instituted, intimated in open court that her attorney, Ceorge D. Collins, had been bdught by Chcyney, the man she is suing for main- tcnance. Angered by the insinuations of his client, Attorney Collins withdrew from the case. Judge Sloss endeavored to | plucate the irate counsel, but his efforts | prcved futile. The plaintiff being left { without an_ attorney, the case went over until next Monday morning. As soon as the court convened for the | afternoon session Attorney Collins arose and addressed Judge Sloss, asking that Le be excused from further acting as Miss Nevill's attorney. ln explanation of his request he said that his client no longer desired his services; that she wanted At- torney Shortridge to act as her counsel. It was in answer to her attorney’s state- ment that the plaintiff made her startling charge. She first declared that she did not irtend to dispense with Attorney Collins’ 0 that she might be better protected. 1at man Cheyney,” she added, “would purchase anybody.” She said that At- torney Collins-had not given her sufficient | protection and that he had not offered i her any advice since the commencement { ot the trial. In making her insinuations { Miss Nevill was backed up by her mother. | The court finally consented to let Attor- | ney Collins withdraw from the case and | the plaintiff was given until next Monday to sccure another attorney. At the morning session Ira A. Smith, preprietor of a Kearny-street lodging- house, testified that Cheyney had intro- duccd Miss Nevill to Mrs. Smith as his wife. Dr. George E. Bushnell testified that he had been called in to treat Miss Nevill, whom Cheyney introduced to him as his wife.

The resolution directing the removal within sixty days of the obstructions on | city property at the foot of Third street was amended by the Board of Supervis- ors yesterday to grant the South End Rowing Club one and one-half years from January 1, 1902, to remove its boathouses. Attorney J. Lehrmann, representing the South End Club, which would have been directly affected by the terms of the res- olution, urged that the club be given time to remove property on which $5000 had been expended. He stated that it was in- | tended to appeal to the Legislature for the grant of sites in the bay for rowing clubs, and that a former Board of Super- visors had granted the club the original | | privilege. Reed made the motion that the obstruc- | tions_be allowed to remain for eighteen months, which prompted Jennings to ask under what authority the privilege could be granted. McCarthy suggested that the boathouses be not disturbed until time as a wharf shall be built on the property Attorney Wheeler, representing Payne brothers and other protestants, agreed to build a wharf if the obstructions were re- moved. Fontana’s motion that the ob- structors be given six months to move was not seconded. Comte pleaded that consideration be shown the rowing club, because it was occupying property not immediately required by, the city, but 1 urged that all ‘other trespassers be evict- | ed. The City Attorney was requested to in- | form the board upon the following ques- tions arising in connection with the op- eration of the proposed Geary-street mu- nicipal railroad system: First—Over how many blocks may the city operate a_ municipal railroad on a street, on which a franchise for a rallroad now exists or on which a railroad is being operated? Second—Is the franchise granted November 6, 1878, to Messrs. Main, Norton, Bigelow, Mc- Cord, et al., a valid franchise, it being in ef- fect ‘an extension of two_blocks to the fran- chise granted to Messrs. Deane, Eppelsheimer, Stanyan, Morrow, Porter and Crowell, April 13, 1877, for a railroad on Geary and other streets. Third—Ts that portion of the Geary-street franchise granted to use Point Lobos avenue | valid, said avenue at the time of the grant being under the jurisdiction of the Park Com- missfoners? Fourth—If a portion of the franchise is in- valld does it invalidate the entire franchise? The_ resolution granting the American Can Company a permit to erect a bridge across Seventh street, near Townsend, was adopted. Chairman Curtis of the Street Committee explained that the committee had reported against the reso- lution because it was held to be simply the forerunner of a series of bridges throughout the city. The Emporium Company was denied a permit to erect a bridge across Jessie street, between Fourth and Fifth. The department of electricity submitted a plan for a private exchange telephone system at the City Hall, and estimates its cost at $5613 60. The roadway of Page street, between Central and Masonic avenues, was ac- cepted. The Board of Works was authorized to repave Bush street, between Sansome and Batter: David Hewes was denied a permit to maintain a corrugated iron structure on the roof of his bullding at the corner of Sixth and Market streets. Policemen, like the hairs of a man's head, are numbered. such | atEKa PAYMENT OF OLD GLAIMS Former Sewer Commis- sioners Ask for Salaries. The Board of Supervisors considered yesterday the claims of Professor George T. Davidson, Colonel George H. Mendeil and Irving M. Scott for $I500 each as members of the old Sewer Commission. The claimants desired payment under the constitutional amendment out of the sur- | plus fund. Professor Davidson explained that the members of the commission had tended constantly to their duties for five mouths after their appointment by the Board of | Supervisors in 1392. The employes of the commission were paid, but the Commis- sioners were not, and 250 miles of sewers | were investigated. City Engineer Grunsky and Commis- | sloner of Works Manson, who were con- sulting engineers on the Sewer Commis- sion, were subjected to a line of question- | ing as to the services contributed by Mr. Scott. They replied that the latter's knowledge of the needs of the city was of value to the commission. Supervisor Jennings stated that an in- vestigation had developed that Mr. Scott had not attended many of the meetings of the commission. Connor moved that the claims be allowed, but McCarthy's amended motion that the matter be re- | ferred to the City Attorney to decide if the board has the power to allow the pay- ment of the claims was carried. The claém of C. S. Tilton, City Surveyor in 1892, for $8500 for preparing a map of the assessment district for a sewerage system in Richmond was indefinitely post- poned. D. I. Mahoney, attorney for Til- ton, addressed the board in behalf of the claim. It developed that the money was paid by the ity to Tilton's successor, W. H. Fitzhugh, under a court decision. The claim of John Hall for $675 for ser- vices rendered the Street Committee in connection with the Sixteenth-street ex- tersion in 1892 was rejected. A resolution was passed to print au- thorizing the payment of $3000 out of the surplus fund to Dorn & Dorn in full dis- charge of a judgment obtained -against the city for services rendered. An ordinance was passed to print fixing | the wages of laborers in the park or on public utilities that may hereafter be ae- quired by the city at $2 350 per diem. The City Attorney was requested to fur- nish an opinion as to whether the execu- tors of the will of the late Adolph Sutroe and the Spring Valley Water Works can legally agree to a modification of the Dewey boulevard embodying a reduction of width as suggested by the City Engi- neer and consent to an extension of two years within which the boulevard may be completed by the city. The petition of the Market-street Rail- | way Company to erect a brick building 200 by 400 feet without interior partitions on the block of land bounded by Twenty- third, Twenty-fourth and Utah streets and San Bruno avenue was referred to the Fire Committee. The ordinance granting the Chutes Com- pany permission to erect a bridge across Tenth avenue, between C and Fulton streets, re-referred to the Strest Com- mittee to give James Cavanagh and Wil- liam Redpath, who protest against tha privilege, an opportunity to be heard.
