The feature of last night's programme he Irish Fair was the very picturesque nment given by the Gaelic Danc- ub. Bince the commencement of the e Irish Dance Hall which is under nagement of this club has proved + popular. Every night the hall has rowded with visitors desiring to see rish jigs and reels executed by the craceful dancers in costume. Last night he dancing club held its programme of nces on the platform on the main floor he Pavilion. Before the programme was begun, how- ver, the club, with about 500 members in e, and with fifty couples dressed in «<hite in the vanguard, paraded about the 1all, making a pretty spectacle. Limerick and Monaghan booths, which re two of the most popular booths at the ir, also rendered very enjoyable pro- rammes, which attracted large crowds. heir programmes consisted of dances vocal and instrumental music, Notwithstanding the many counter at- tractions, the art gallery, where many mous paintings are on exhibition; the suseum, with its collection of wonderful caks, and the map of Ireland, where one n study the topography of the Emerald e, were well patronized.

LIGHT “BOOZE.” Do You Drink ItP A minister’s wife had quite a tussle with coffee, and her experience is inter- esting. She says: “During the two years of my training as a nurse while on night duty T became addicted to coffee drink- ing, for between midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning, when the patients were #sleep, there was little to do except make I should want a good hot cup of coffes about that time. It stimulated me and I could keep awake better. “After three or four vears of coffee drinking I became a nervous wreck and thought that I simply could mot live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent bilious attacks, some- times s0 severe as to keep me in bed for several days. After being married, husband begged me tc leave off coffee, for he feared that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort and release myself from the hurtful habit. I began taking Postum Food Cof- fee, and for a few days felt the languid, tired feeling from the lack of the stimu- lant, but I liked the taste of Postum and that answered for the breakfast beverage right. Finally 1 began to feel clearer headed and had steadier nerves. After a years use of Postum I now feel like 2 new wo- man. Have not had any bilious attacks since I left off coffee.”” This lady re- N EDITOR DARGIE Defendants in Enquirer Suit Want. Him Named as Co-Defendant. Judge Ogden Refuses to Per- mit Any Changes in the Complaint. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 16. Argument on the demurrers interposed to D. Edward Collins’ complaint against the members of the Oakland Enquirer Publishing Company was freshened up a bit to-day by a demand by the defend- ants that another defendant be tacked to the list to share the burdens of the de- fense. These importunate defendants urged that W. E. Dargle, editor of the Oakland Tribune, be made a defendant with them in their trial with the banker and the law. Judge Ogden, however, was not impressed with the logic of their ar- gument, and directed that things go on in the even tenor that has characterized the course of the case so far, The argument of the defendants’ attor- neys was based on a specification in their demurrer that there is a ‘‘defect of par- ties defendant” in the complaint. That, they explained, meant that Dargle, hav- ing been charged by Collins with concoct- ing a combination on city printing with the Enguirer corporation and sharing in the profits of that alliance, should be in- corporated as a defendant in the suit. Judge Ogden took the ground that Dar- gle, simply because he might have ac- cepted moneys, from the Inquirer, was not necessarily a defendant, and he re- fused to order him included as such. He thought that the complaint in regard to Dargie might be strengthened by making an express allegation that there was no consideration for the money given to the editor, but he did not insist upon it. One other point argued was that in re- gard to the charge of collusion between B. Lanktree and Assessor Dalton, whereby the last named received money in advance on county printing. Judge Ogden held that there was no specific charge of fraud here. No decision was gliven, and the whole matter went over to be submitted on briefs. MAYOR CLERC SAYS PRENTIS WAS WARNED EW YORK, May 16.—A World spe- cial from Ste. Marie, Martinique, via Fort de France, sa; In com- pany with Ferdinand Clerc, a mil- lionaire and the Mayor of Trinite, I trav- eled to-day sixty miles through the north- ern and eastern part of Martinique. We Journeyed in carriages and had relays of horses. 'We are the first people from Fort de France in this district since the erup- tion of Mont Pelee. I am now at Ste. Marie, forty-five kilometers (about twen- ty-eight miles) north of Fort de France. again pour out a death-dealing avalanche of fire, or some new eruption take place from what are now inactive volcanoes. Mayor Clerc is the oniy person I have been able to find who was in St. Pierre on the morning the city was overwhelmed, saw the eruption and lived to tell the tale. He tells me that at 7 o’clock on the morn- ing of May 8 he noticed the rumblings from Mont Pelee were more pronounced than they had been up to that time. The barometer in his house fluttered violentiy, and he at once ordered his sepvants- to harness mules to his carriages and pre- pare for flight. Clerc took his wife and four children with him and hastened from the city. He advised all his friends to hasten away also, but his advice was dis- regarded by them. He left behind him at his house twenty-eight of his friends who | had gathered there at his call and whom he advised to get away as quickly as they could. As Clerc and his family were leaving St. Pierre he saw Mr. Prentis, the American Consul, standing in front of his house with Mrs. Prentis. Mr. Clerc called out to Prentis, and warned him to flee the city at once, but the Consul only laughed and waved his hand as he answered: “Oh, there is no dauger. Don’t pe afraid.” When Clerc reached Morne Rouge, dis- tant from St. Plerre about six miles he looked back and to his horror saw a huge mass of slate colored stones and ashes burst from Mont Pelee and tumble down on St. Pierre. This was immediate. ly followed by a great wall of flame, which seemed to rise and topple over on the doomed town. The whole thing lasted not more than two minutes. So sharply defined was the wall of flame that a buil caught on the edge of its track was roasted to a crisp on one side and not a bair of the animal was singed on the other.

FORTER BROTHERS STILL THE TENNIS CHAMPIONS Retain the Noack Cup by Defeating Pape and Lumbard of Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, May 16.—The "attend- ance was unusually large at the tennis courts to-day to see the match between the Porter brothers of Woodland and Pope and Lumbard of Sacramento for the championship in doubles of Northern Cal- ifornia. Both teams were in good condi- tion. By good lobbing and steady playing Pope and Lumbard got the first set—8-6. In the second set the Sacramento team kept up its steady gait and won by a score of 6-3. Everything seemed to be go- ing Sacramento’s way the third set, but the Porter brothers steadied down an won out—8-4. The next two sets also went to the Woodland men, thus giving them the Noack trophy for the second time. The match was very close throughout and one of the best ever played for the North- ern California championship. The final score was 6-8, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. The cup will now remain in Woodland for one year more. In the tlnfll‘:s ) .A A, A, Allen beat }{oler;l Allen l.luovbut Dr. Pope; Buflfett ; H, F. Elliot liot beat F. A, F. A. faulted to F. A.

Men Are Hotel Guests, but the Detectiyes Are on Guard. MONTREAL, May 16.—Gaynor and Greene are guests at the Windsor Hotel, each guarded by a local detective, with a force of United States Secret service agents unofficially in reserve. They will not go back to Quebec, much as they and their friends desire it, and in spite of the Writ of habeas corpus granted yesterday { by Judge Andrews of Quebec directing hief Detective Carpenter to return his prisoners to that city. When the Spray arrived in Montreal this morning the par- ty drove to the Windsor. At 7 o'clock tney again left the hotel, just as the pur- suing force from Quebec, which had come up from Sorel on the Quebec boat, reached the hotel. - Chief Carpenter took his prisoners to Judge Lafontaine's residence and an {m- promptu court was convened in the | Judge’s library, Curpenter handed his prisoners over to the Judge, and the lat- ter, after remanding them for examina- tion on Monday, committed them to the care of two detectives, with permission | to reside at the Windsor. | _In the meantime Constable Gale of Que- { bec, with a writ of habeas corpus, was | searching diligently for Carpenter. At 1Y o'clock he found him in his office and served the writ. Carpenter was placed in a ailemma. He was in possession of a document calling upon him to produce the bodies of Gaynor and Greene before Judge Andrews in Quebec to-day, and he no longer had the prisoners in his posses- sion, having been relieved by Judge La- fontaine. He consulted his counsel and was in- formed that if he attempted to return the prisoners to Quebec he would be liable | to arrest for contempt of the local court, whose mandate he had received and ac- knowledged. So an answer setting forth the facts in the matter was prepared and sent down to Quebec and with that it is expected the Quebec people will have to remain satisfied. The jurisdiction of an extradition com- missioner. extends over the entire domin- ion, and the arrests of Greene and Gay- nor were made by an officer qualified to make arrests in any portion of the pro- vince, consequently there is no doubt that they will hold. This evening Mrs. Gaynor arrived from Quebec, accompanied by counsel for the prisoners, who had a con- sultation with them at the Windsor. It was stated this afternoon that the Provincial Government had instructed Judge Lafontaine to obey the writ of habeas corpus, but the Judge says that all he knows about the case is that he | issued a warrant and that the men called for in that document were produced be- | fore him. He had remanded the prisoners until Monday morning and expected that | they would again be produced before | him. Legal opinion in Montreal is that habeas corpus proceedings cannot be in- | stituted until Judge Lafontaine has de- cided the case. Then if he commits them for extradition proceedings of that nature will be in order. SQUIERS NOMINATED MINISTER TO CUBA Name of a New Yorker Is Sent to the Senate by the President.

(Republican-Autonomist), Depart- | # | form New York, for JUDGE COMMITS ~ (STUDENTS TURN NEPHEW TO AL Gaynor-Greene Case De-|Vagrant Proves to Be a Relative of the Court. Santa Rosa Prisoner the Son of a Former Indiana Congressman, Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, May 16—Major John Browne, who dispenses justice court of Santa Rosa Township, was to- day called upon to do something unusual in his experience of thirty odd years on the bench. A young man who, he is thor- oughly convinced, is a relative of his, was brought before him on a charge of va- grancy, and the Justicé imposed a sen- tence of ten days in the County Jall. The vagrant is Thomas Browne, and he is about 20 years of age. Further than giving his father’s name and his birth- place, he was uncommunicative about himself. He admitted that he had begged food, but declared he was forced to that | necessity by hunger. He had been un- able to obtain employment, and his scant supply of money had dwindled until he had not the means with which to supply himself with food. In pronouncing sentence upon him, Jus- tice Browne told the prisoner that he had not the faintest doubt of the relationship which existed between them, but sald that he could not allow that condition to inter- fere with justice. The youth was'assured that he would be received with open arms by the Justice when he obtained his re- léase from jail. | “Browne has been in this city but a few days. When he arrived he had no knowl- { edge of any relatives in this vicinity. His meeting with Judge Browne was unex- pected to both. Judge Browne is certain that the youth is a son of his brother, Judge Thomas M. Browne, a prominent man of Indiana, which State he represent- House of Representatives. The prisoner appears to be in a very despondent mood, and apparently cares little what becomes of him. He will be amply provided for by his local relatives, @ ieiiiiie il @ FINDS N0 PRODE OF GONSPIRAGY Judge Sloss decided yesterday that the Brewers' Protective Assoclation has not conspired against the Columbia Brewing Company for the purpose of ruining the business of the firm named. The brew- ing company brought sult against the as- sociation for an injunction restraining the association from compelling the malt- sters of this city to refuse furnishing the plaintiff with the wherewithal to make beer., A comspiracy on the part of the members of the assoclation was alleged. In his decision Judge Sloss says: It is not shown that defendants compelled the rhanufacturers of malt in this city to agree to refuse to sell malt to any obe not a member of the Brewers' Protective Association or that the manufacturers of malt did make any such agreement. The purpose of the acts of the : Brewers' Association appears to have been merely a desire to prevent the plaintiff from selling beer at a price less than the price at which the defendants were u\:a& not o ruin plaintiff or to compel it to by terms of the agreement of June 2% Without considering the question whether in this State an act in itself lawful can become unlawful because done by the combination of two or more persons, in pursuance of an illegal pur- pose, I think the effort by one engaged in a certain line of trade to prevent the continuance in such trade of another Who Is carrying on business in a manner deemed by the first to be detrimental to him is not the pursuit of an unlawful purpose. HANSTED’S CASE IN THE SUPERIOR COURT Fred Hansted, the alleged assailant of Thomas Garrett, appeared before Judge Sloss yesterday seeking release on a writ of habeas corpus. Peter F. Dunne, spe- cial prosecutor employed by Garrett, and | Attorney George D. Collins, representing | Hansted, argued at length, after which Judge Sloss took the case under advise- | ment. Attorney Collins_contended that the | evidence was insufficlent to warrant the | holding of the defendant, and he also cited authorities to show that the plead- dngs in the case were lmrroperly rawn. Collins reviewed the testimony taken in the Police Court, and said that Lauders { bach, a Post-street merchant, who is the | prosecution’s principal witness, was un. | able to say that Hansted committed the | assault, or that the two men Hansted | was talking to before the occurrence beat Garrett. He also said that Witness Markus testified in the Police Court that he saw Hansted prevent the men from inflicting further injury on Garrett. % In repfiylng Attorney Dunne cited many cases to prove that the pleadings wers perfect, and argued that there was suf- ficlent evidence to hold Hansted. AT 0O’Donnell Motion Is Argued. The argument on the motion of Attor- ney Archie Campbell to dismiss the case of Willlam E. O'Donnell, charged with an assault upon Thomas Garrett, took place before Judge Cabaniss yesterday after- noon. After hearing Attorney Campbell and Attorney Peter Dunne, special counsel for the prosecution, on the ques- tion of constructive participation, the Judge said he would examine the author- itles quoteu and give his decision Tuegday morning.

Beautiful Features Attend the Water Carnival on Lagunita: Lake. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 16— Lagunita Lake never before presented so beautiful a scene as it did during the Elizabethan water carnival to-nigh®. Thousands of red Japanese lanterns were strung in trees around the banks of the lake, their reflections’ in the water doubling their number. Rowboats and sailboats, gayly trimmed with lanterns, glided over the water, forming fantastic figures. 'The banks of the lake were crowded with people jostling each other good-naturediy, and many strangers were numbered among the throng. Many students were dressed as ladies and knights of Queen Elizabeth's time, and their gay costumes added much to the effectiveness of the carnival. The gypsy fortune teller's booth was patron- ized largely by those desiring knowledge of their futures, and the Punch and Judy show served as amusement for the chil- dren. To-night's attractions were started with an exhibition of tumbling by the Stanford gymnasium club, the efforts of the gym- nasts calling forth merited applause. The feature of the evening was the pre- sentation of Pyramus and Thisbe, from “Midsummer Night's Dream.”’ This took lace on a barge anchored near the shore. 'he students who formed the cast showed splendid talent, and their ludicrous antics and droll remarks were received with ap- plause and laughter. C. D. McComish '03 as Pyramus and 1. J. Bounds '05 as Thisbe fell naturally into their parts and merited the applause that the mirthful throng on shore gave them. Music in the afternoon was supplied by the Girls' Mandolin Club. To-night the men’s club appeared and their numbers were well received. The tableaux of Elizabethan scenes were rendered the more effective by being produced on the large barge, that was moored near the lake shore 3 FIGHT OF CARPENTERS PASSES ACUTE STAGE Brotherhood Men Are Now Confident That They Have Practically Won. The refusal of the contractors to dis- criminate against the brotherhood car- penters in favor of those affiliated with the Building Trades Council has proved a serious blow to President McCarthy's forces. It was reported last night that many of McCarthy's supporters in his fight against the brotherhood are desert- ing to the enemy, and that a general stampede is looked for at an early date. The brotherhood carpenters-are- now confident of wh'mln%I their fight, and say that the situation has passed the acute stage. It is believed that a compromise will be effected and that the Build- ing Tredes Council will be the first to quit. The agents of that body have re- ported to their chief that the orders to men to quit are being generally ignored now that the contractors have clearly defined their position in the fight. So long as it was possible to secure the co-opera- tion of the contractors the McCarthy men felt certain of winning, but now that this has been refused, the situation as far 2s the council is concerned is without hope. The Labor Ceuncil, with which -the brotherhood unions are affiliated, met last night, but contrary to expectation no ac- ticn to the quarrel of the carpenters was taken. This is regarded as an indi- cation that the council is satisfied with fhe situation and that no necessity for action in the premises at this time exists. Carpenters’ Union No. met at 1133 Mission street last night, but aside from an informal discussion of the situation nothing of importance was done. In- uirles for information were met with the response that there was nothing to make public. VEREIN ARION GIVES LAST CONCERT OF SEASON Native Sons’ Hall was packed last night, the occasion being the last concert to be given by the Verein Arion. The rendering of the vafious numbers by the male chorus was magnificent, and especial mention must be made of “Old Folks at Home,” which brought down the house; Patini's “Morire,” sung by Miss Florence Boston, violin obligato by Miss Laura Taylor, was very pleasing. The programme was as follows: ““Waldesgruss” (Salutations to .the Forest) (Abt), Arion Male Chorus; ‘‘Hebraeische Melo- dten””’ (Joachim), viola solo, Herr Benat Jaulus; Ort, Wo Meine Wiege Stand”’ (The Place Where ' My Cradle Stood) (Handwerg), Male Chorus; (a) ““All Souls’ Day’ (Ole Bull), (b) ‘“Traumerei”’ (Schumann), Jaulus String Orchestra; (a) “Um Mitternacht,.’ (b) “‘Trinl lied,” (c) ‘“Wanderlied' (Frederick Zech Jr. Arion _Male Chorus; “Morire’” arie (Patini Miss Florence Boston, violin obligato, Laura Taylor; (a) ‘‘Altniedlandisches (Old Netherlands Song) (Kremser), (b) *‘Old Folks at Home,” arranged (Von Neidlinger), Arfon Male Chorus; (a) ‘‘Barcarole,” (b) “Ftude” (Rubinsteln), piano solo, Herr Paul Scholz; “Im Wald'” (In the Forest) (Leu), Arion Male Chorus. e WANTS SHERIFF ARRESTED FOR OBSTRUCTING STREET Ed Lawton, an inspector of the Board of Public Works, applied to Warrant and Bond Clerk Fitzpatrick yesterday for a warrant for the arrest of Sheriff Lack- mann on the charge of obstructing the streets. Lawton stated that by order of the Sheriff a large quantity of rubbish had been deposited in front of a_ house on Fell street, near Polk, caused by the ejectment of an old man who occupied the basement, and it was lying thére and obstructing the street.

(o} WARM GAMPAIGN NEARS THE END San Jose Voters Will Go to the Polls on Monday. Leaders of Both Factions Are Confidently ' Claiming Victory. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, May 16.—San Jose is in the throes of the hottest city campaign it has ever known, and two great forces are lined up for 'a battle of ballots on Monday. E. A. Hayes and John D. Mac- kenzie are the commanding generals. For the past month both sides have been hard at work, and with the Worswick rally to- night both practically closed their public meetings. George D, Worswick is the standard-bearer of the reform forces and Adolph Greeninger carries the banner for Mackenzie. While the voters are rally- ing around these men, the real question is whether the people shall have a reform government or whether things shall go on in the same old rut under the direction of Mackenzie. The campaign just closing has been cne of the most bitter in the history of the city. The charges made against Andrew S. Mackenzie and the other Police Com- missioners by H. E. Miller. that black- mail and extortion were levied for politi- cal purposes, have been aired and used in the campaign. Against Mackenzie are the Herald a'nd Mercury, both influential papers, and day after day they are pouring ‘“‘hot shot into his camp. Many of his .former workers have turned on him, but Mac- kenzie, from his rooms in the California Club, is doing hard campaigning. James W. Rea and his forces also are after Mackenzie's scalp, and they are working night and day to defeat him. Never before has money been so plenti- ful. Rea alone has wagered about $7500 that Worswick will be elected Mayor and has got more money to place. RIVAL LEADERS CONFIDENT. . E. A. Hayes, the president of the Re- publican_Good Government League, and who is directing the fight of the reform forces, is more sanguine than ever of winning the election. In summing up to-day he said: I confidently expect the end will come to Mackenzieism and push domination in San Jose next Monday. I sincerely believe our ticket. headed by George D. Worswick, will be elected from top to bottom by big majorities. We have a splendid organization, and hundreds of citi- zens are spending their time and working earn- estly in the cause of decency, and we do not expect the efforts of the people will relax until the night of election. The contest has been a bitter one and the efforts of the push most per- sistent and unflagging. We are confident the majority will be large for Worswick, reaching probably 1000. In the contest one never hears of politics—Républicanism and Democracy are never mentioned—but our forces, which include old soldiers, Republicans, Democrats and Pop- ulists, are earnestly working together to re- deem San Jose from the stigma that has rested upon it 50 long. Worswick Clubs have been or- ganized in every precinct and the frequent meetings being held are jammed Wwith voters anxious to attest thelr loyalty to the cause of good government. On the other hand not a single club has been organized in behalf of the push ticket. Their canvass has been conducted from the notorious California Club as head- quarters. We are all cheered and encouraged by the thought that the day of deliverance from boss rule is at hand. John D. Mackenzie, who has control of the machine that has dominated politics in San Jose so long, declares that the op- position has not yet won the fight. He says he is absolutely certain his entire ticket, from Greeninger down, will be elected by majorities of from 700 to 900. Last year he won by 584 votes, and Mac- kenzie declares his organization is now much stronger. But few desertions have occurred from his ranks, the Harbor Commissioner says, and for each one he lost he claims to have gained five. ‘“We are better organized and stronger than last year,” was his parting remark, “and are still doing quiet and effective work from the old stand.” REFORMERS’ CLOSING RALLY. The biggest political mass-meeting ever held in gan Jose was that of this evening in the Auditorium in the interests of the citizens’ municipal ticket. It was held under the auspices of the Independent Club. More than 2500 persons crowded the big structure and about one thousand were turned away, unable to gain admittance. W. A. Beasly acted as chairman. Ad- dresses were made by Frank H. Benson, Thomas_Westoby (secretary of the City Front Federation of San Francisco), Judge Lawrence Archer and G. D. Wors- wick, the citizens’ nominee for Mayor. The meeting was then announced closed, but the audience refused to leave and demanded more stp;aklng. Judge M. H. Myland and J. R. Lewis addressed the as- semblage. The speakers all predicted a sweeping victory for the citizens' nom- inees. S QUARREL COSTS HIM HOME AND PROSPECTIVE BRIDE Unfortunate Wooing of Ezekiel House Leads to Much Liti- gation. SAN JOSE, May 16.—The story of court- ship and troubles of Mrs. C. A. Warthen and Ezekiel House, well-known residents near’ Gilroy, is recalled by an answer filed in an ejectment suit in the Superior Court to-day. They live near each other and a few years ago were engaged to be mar- ried.” In his ardent wooing House deeded his home to Mrs. Warthen. The place consists of forty acres and is worth about $6000. They quarreled before the wedding day. Mrs. v%arthen then brought suit to eject House from- the place. e fought the case and claimed the deed was only conditional on her agreement to marry and as she had falled to do so he asked that the instrument be set aside. Now Mrs. Warthen claims that the deed was absolute and that the land is no more than of sufficient value to serve as a balm for the trifling with her affections. Each blames the other for the disruption in their love affair. Both have been mar- ried and have families of children. | in from box 115. FIRE DESTROYS OLD ROOKERIES Midnight Blaze Creates Exciteruent on Ellis Street. Two Firemen Fall Eighteen Feet and Escape With Bruises. ‘What threatened to be a disastrous fire broke out in a number of old shacks on Ellis street, above Mason, at 12:30 o’clock this morning. Two alarms were turned It was due to the prompt work of the splendidly organized depart- ment that a serious conflagration was averted. For a time the Langham Hotel on the corner of Ellis and Mason streets was menaced. A heavy wind was blowing and largg firebrands and sparks were wafted toward the big structure. Within a few minutes after the blaze was discovered in Levi Newton's coal yard gt 209 Ellis street the fire was at its heigh® The sky was lit up and thousands harried to the scene and blockaded the path of the firemen. The excitement was intense. Streams of water were poured irto the rookeries from every side, and within half an hour the conflagration was under control. Althcugh of short duration, the fire was full of incidents. Willlam Conlon and John Mitchell, members of Engine Com- pany No. 2, were badly injured while tighting the blaze from the rear. They were handling a hose on a balcony of an abandcned house in the rear when it save way beneath their combined weight, precipitating them to the ground, which was fully eighteen feet below. Comrades instantly cared for the unfortunate men and they were hurried to their engine house and treated for their injurfes by Dr. Bodkin. Mrs. Montigo and her young son Hubert were asleep at 207 Ellis street, and but for the timely arrival of the firemen both might have been burned to death. Mrs. Montigo was awakened by the firemen and escorted across the street to a neigh- bor’s home. The property was uninsured, and she lost everything. For a time she was disconsolate, as she thought her bank book that recorded her savings had beetn destroyed; but this was later re- stored to her. Mrs. Pauline Goldstein and her hus- band, who lived in back of a store at 211% Ellis street, were also awakened by the crackling of flames and the odor of fire. Mr. Goldstein hurriedly moved his belongings to the sidewalk, but stated he had lost a lot of things and lamented the fact that he carried no insurance. Micke Levy, the Orpheum Theater ticket collector, and a young man named Howard Phllipps were passing Newtos coal yard when the fire broke out. Their first thought was to save the horses im the rear, and they broke in the door and led two of the frightened animals out. They attempted to return for the other animals, but were driven back by the smoke. Three horses are said to hava been lost. Levy stated that the fire started in the coal yard. He saw a slight blaze in a bale of hay in the rear of the stable and says it burst into a big flame within a few m'lxl_-;lnteu.h k e shacks were owned by a man named Phillips. They were uninsured and of little value. The occupants of the houses that were destroyed were Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein, 211% Ellis street, custom tailoring establishment, loss ), unin= sured; Julius Sichel, owner of a carpen- ter shop at 211 Ellis street, loss $1000, un- insured; Newton's coal yard, loss un- own. Three horses were destroyed and the contents of the building burned. New- ton carried some insurance. Next door to the coal yard was a smail chophouse known as the Central. The damage to this place was very slight. Up=- stairs was occupied by Mrs. Montigo and the Valorine Cleaning Company. The loss to these people was complete. Although there was no insurance on the personal effects, the loss was less than $300. Sparks ignited a deserted building in the rear of Mason street. but the blaze was extinguished in its incipiency. Morris Hepstein, a tflendpo( h‘ylx Goid- stein, the tailor who lived at 2113 Eillis street, sald that when he detected the smoke he Jumged out of the doorway and looked throuf a _window into the cellar and saw a blaze far in the rear of the structure. He said while standing in front of the burning building he saw a man rush across the street with a child in bis arms. This child, he believes, be- Lonr,ed to Mrs. Montigo, who lived next ooF. At an early hour this morning a repor was recelved from Engine Co; ‘mypfio‘.: 2 to the effect that Firemen &nlon and Mitchell only suffered bruises and a shak- ing up by their unexpected fall. A. B.

McCreery called upon Mayor Schmitz yesterday and offered to add $5000 to his already munificent gift of $25,000 for a new library.
