Daughter of J. Balestrieri of Black Diamond Dies at Ferry. —_— | After bringing his daughter, 3 years old, suffering with diphtheria, many miles. to give her proper medical attention; only to | {have her die in his arms, the distracted | father of little Rosa Balestrieri, fearing to board a street .car, earried the dead babe ailmost a mile in order to reach a friend’s house. ? J. Balestrierl, who lives in Black Dia- | mond, upon the advice of Dr. de Lucis of | this city, decided, in order that his child might have proper attention, to bring her to San Francisco. Dr. de Lucis saw the | chill and pronounced the malady to be diphtheria, but refused to treat her as a | doctor in Black Diamond had charge of the case. The father, with the child, boarded the train yesterday afternoeon and reached the Ferry depot.at 5 p. m., only to be a grief-stricken witness to the | departing of the Jittle life. An unreasoning fear seized the man and he refused to board a car. He walked to 424 Broadway, where iis. friend, Pe- i ter Smario, lived. When he reached there he was advised to take the corpse to an undertaking estabiishment at 1524 | Stockton street. Never having loosened his grasp on the dead child, he was obliged to walk many more blocks to the undertaker’s. The Morgue was.notified, ‘un(l the case was pronounced by the au- i topsy surgeon to be diphtheria. iVTIZLI..

It is estimated that at least 30,000 per- sons thronged the Square at the time of the explosions, which were succeeded by a frightful panic in which hundreds were thrown down and trampled under foot. Five hundred policemen and all the am- bulances in the city were Instantly sum- moned and the dying and those most seri- ousiy injured were removed to the hospi- tals. In addition to these many of the wounded were taken away by friends. Nine men in charge of the fireworks dis- | play were placed under arrest immediate- ly after the explosion. The list of dead is: POLICEMAN DENNIS SHEA. WILLIAM B. FINNETY. GEORGE RITLE. HAROLD ROBLEY. SIX UNKNOWN MEN. UNKNOWN COLORED MAN. UNKNOWN COLORED BOY. The most seriously injured are: Police- | man Michael McGee, Policeman Michael Reagan, Florence Dyer, David Myers, William Mallery, John Glanter, James Corrygan, Frank Leiston, George Landon, Frank L. Keeler, Frank Wilson, Wilson, Henry Adams, Charles Olgan, L. Davis, Joseph Schaefer, Samuel Mayer, Angelo Dominick. The densest portion of the tir_ng that Madison avenue close to the place re- served for the discharge of the fireworks. Along the border of the square facing the avenue were arranged three groups of castiron mortars, twenty in each group and loaded with heavy bombs. A few minutes after 10 o'clock the first row of | mortars was touched off, but before the discharge took place ome of them fell over on its side, and the next instant the bomb was shot into the thickest of the crowd, where it exploded and hurled the people into heaps. The fall of the mor- tar and the concussion of the explosion knocked down the rest of the row or mor- tars, and a thundering volley of huge projectiles plowed through the crowd. Almost instantly the second group of twenty mortars about 100 feet farther up third group, evidently ignited by the showers of falling sparks, exploded hé same manner. In the panic that ensued thousands ran blindly across the square, tripping over the seats and benches, and, falling, were trampled on. The police on duty were carried along by the rush, and for half an hour the wildest confusion reigned. After the smoke of the explosion had cleared away sixteen persons were found lying in Madison avenue between Twen- ty-third and Twenty-fifth streets. Scores of injured were scattered about the ave- nue and the square. Among the dead was a vpoliceman, who was standing close to frightfully mangled. A force of 500 policemen was soon on the spot and upward of 100 physicians and 200 nurses were summoned from the hos- pitals, every. available vehicle being pressed into service for the transportation PILES To be cut when mare than 500 business men and an equal pumber of women in this -city have been permanently cured by this trea‘- ment without syrgery or delay.

Makes Some Contradictory Statements to the Police. Andrew Daley, who was a teamster in Manila and’ arrived here recently on the transport Sheridan, reported to Policeman T. J. Connell about 3 o'clock yesterday morning that he had been held up by two men at Ninth and Harrison streets, who struck him on the head with some blunt instrument, knocking him down and rob- bing him of about $273. He had a wound on his head and Connell sent him to the Emeargency Hospital. | Connell notified police headquarters of | the alleged robbery and Detectives Whit- | aker and McMahon, who were on duty, went to the Emergency Hospital and in- terviewed Daley. He made a different statement to them from that made to Connell. He said the two men had robbed him at Ninth and Brannan streets and the amount taken from him was $340. The robbers were, he said, about 30 years of age each and had smooth feces, but he could not identify them. He promised to but he failed to do so, although he was discharged from the hospital about. 6 o'clock. He admitted to the detectives that he had been drinking heavily since his return from Manila. Captain Martin is inclined to doubt Daley's statement that he was robbed and thinks he got into a fight. L S e i e ] ] THE TRUTH ABOUT PIAND BUYING A Genuine Piano Sale at Last. After.reading so much about cheap pianos at cheap prices it must be refresh- ing to the piano buyers of San Francisco to see the straightforward mdnney in which our largest piano house, Kohler & Chase, is conducting the most gigantic clearance sale the coast has ever seen. The sale is genuine and was forced upon them, and above all it is certain the planos are reliable, despite the tremendously low prices at which they are being sold. Kohler & Chase is a house that Califor- nians may well be proud of—established in 1850 when the State was in its. infancy— it has grown with her until to-day it 1anks as the greatest musical establish- ment of the entire West. The San Fran- cisco wareroom at 28-30 O'Farrell street is a credjt to our city. The phenomenal results of the first two days of the enor- mous clearance sale are showing to what extent the people of this eity trust our representative piano house and proves that the people understand that in buying a piang one should deal with a house that can be trusted. 'When Kohler & Chase announce that they are selling good pianos at the price others charge for cheap ones you may rest assured it Is so. . —————— GEARY-STREET CORNER IS LEASED FOR $360,000 Part of Blythe Properties Is Tied Up by Owners. for Ten-Year Term.

ONE PRICE PIANO HOUSE | 931 Marke! St,, San Fran Isco Branch, 951 Broadwsy, Caland LITILE CRIPRLES IRE.GIVEN HOPE Dr. Lorenz Operates on Two Inmates of Chil- ~ dren’s Hospital. Will Show His Skill at Af- filiated Colleges This Morning. —————— Dr. Lorenz performed two operations at the Children’s Hospital yesterday, his subjects being Harold Buckheim, 6 years of age, and Adele Stienberg, aged 8. Both children had suffered from ‘con- genital dislocation, the girl from dislo- cation of the left hip joint and the boy double dislocation. The operations were witnessed by many prominent surgeons of the city and stu- dents, all of whom"showed the greatest interest in the method of the distinguish- ed speclalist. Dr. Lorenz was assisted in both cases by his colleague, Dr. Frederick Mueller, also of Vienna, as well as Dr. James Wat- kins of this city, whe once studied under Dr. Lorenz, The operations were pronounced a suc- cess. After the operation the hip of lit- tle Adele was placed in a plaster of paris cast, in which it will be encased for six nionths. . Both hips of the boy were also placed in plaster of paris casts and they will remain in them for a like period. Adele will be able to move around and walk a’little, while the boy, owing to both hips being in the cast, will not be able to walk for the six months. Dr. Lorenz was much disturbed last night when he found that his trunks had not yet arrived from Salt Lake City. Should they not get here in time it is likely that the doctor will postpone the operation which it had been arranged should take place at the Affiliated Col- leges early this morning. There are many irstruments in the trunks which the suv- geon needs and their non-arrival has been the means of causing him much incon- venience. Philip O'Neil, a boy who is a sufferer from congenital dislocation, is the sub- Ject for this morning. To-morrow morning, Dr. Lorenz will demonstrate his metfod before the fac- ulty and students of Cooper Medical Col- lege and if time will allow he will per- form a private operation in the afcer- neon. Sunday the doctor and his assistant, Dr. Mueller, will leave for Los Angeles, where several cases await his skill. TEere was a perfect flood of letters and teiegrams from all ever the country re- ceived at the Palace Hotel yesterday in- viting Dr. Lorenz to visit the represent- ative medical colleges and universities. POPULAR POLITICIAN IS CALLED BY DEATH John M. Flynn, the Well Known Republican County Committee- man, Passes Away. John M. Fiynn, agwell known politician and member of the Republican County Committee, died at his home, 305 Mason street, early yesterday morning, after a lingering illness. i Death was due to a severe attack of | asthma. “Mike” Flynn_as he was more familiar- ly known to his associates and many | friends, was for the last ten years an act- | ive worker in the Republican party in lo- | cal politics and until quite recently had | been a member of the State Central Com- mittee of that body. Few, if any, of the younger politicians | in this city had a stronger following in | the rank and file and as a representative of his party he was a hard, energetic worker in. the Interests of his district friends. At the time of his death Mr. Flynn was a member of the Republican County Com- | mittee from the Forty-fourth Assembly | District and a member of the Royal Arch of this city.

The Puccini “La Tosca" was given for the first time in the West last night at the Tivoli. Onmly the election crowd in the street was larger than the ¢rowd that gathered to hear the opera and ballots and polis were as completely forgotten as if they had been comfortably in Jericho during its progress. Tremendously powerful is the opera, the last word of the “‘verismo™ school of mod- ern Italy. Sardou’s stressful story loses no single point in its arrangement by Illica for operatic purposes, but even gains in intensity through Its deft com- pression. Three acts are taken to tell the story and Puceini has magically fitted music to its every thrill and potent pulse. Sensational in the extreme, theatricalism at its most, “‘La Tosca” grips with a grip there is no withstanding. As to the wholesomeness of its hold, the musical righteousness of its power, opin- jons must necessarily differ. The yellow journalism of opera, the burning pose of music, it is a note that compels the at- tention from its significance as a finger- post to modern ways. Whither it will lead, if followed to its logical conclusion, one can only guess, but it looks as if precipice and disaster’ lay thick on the way. The opera was followed breathless- ly last night by the audience and as breathlessly applauded. ‘Whatever its shortcomings, “La Tosca” inspired Montanari last night to a power- ful and impassioned effort in the title role; showed De Padova in 2 magnificently compelling conception of Scarpia and Agostini at his most brilllant as Cavaro- dossi. All the artists were received with thunderous applause, later feebly echoed by the firecrackers outside, and every one got their share. The chorus did some dif- ficult things with commendable facility and the smaller parts were all atcept- ably filled in. Mr. Steindorff led his or- chestra with his usual skill and “La Tosca” is fairly launched on a certain tide of popularity. —_— Uncle Sam’s Hunt for Nitrates. The chase for nitrates for fertilizing The most common method of enriching the soil is with manure. Equally well known is the use of rotating crops, where leguminous soiling plants are employed. In other words, plants are used that have long, slender roots, beaded wth little nodules filled with nitrogenous matter. The leaves | take the nitrogen from the air and the roots leave it in the ground. This is ve: slow. The United States Governmemri’; constantly in search in the various agri- cultural districts of the globe to secure suitable leguminous plants (soiling plants) for suitable and profitable use in various districts. With these it is proposed to maintain the present standard of good soil, reclaim wastes and barren lands and give new life to worn-out lands. The specialist in irrigation.is now looking to Egypt, the fellahin, for great help. This fertilizer is sought in the nitrate beds of South America, where, years ago, tropical leguminous plants left nitrate de- posits. The surfaces have been scraped from guano isles, and that supply is fast disappearing. The phosphate beds of the South are ylelding less, end now the agri- cultural expert looks ~anxiously to the great machines at Niagara, driven by the ‘weight of the water in the inland seas, and hopes that within a few years they will turn out an inexhaustible supply of nitrates, at a comparatively low cost, far the farmers.—Cincinnati Commercial-Tri- bune. i HAWAIIAN PLANTER DIES SUDDENLY IN THIS Otto Isenberg, Well Known in Hono- lulu Is Victim of Heart Fail- ure and Dropsy.
