The Justices of the Peace began ses- slons yesterday, sitting as Commissioners in three election contests for Asemblymen State Senator. Judges Long and Dunn sat in the Kenny-French cgntest for State Senator and in the Siebe-Lewis centest for Assemblyman from the Thir- ty-eighth District. Judges Daniels and Dunn sat in the Franklin-Murphy con- test for Assemblyman in the Twentieth District. Allegations of fraud are made in all the contests, but nothing was done beyond swearing a number of witnesses whose depositions will be taken for transmittal to the Legislature, ‘which will decide upon the ones to be seated. ———————— Tell-Tale Letters Introduced. The cross-examination of Mrs. Gage H. Philips-Moxey was continued in the Pro- bate Court yesterday, where proceedings to have her declared incompetent are be- ing held. -The examination brought out the fact that though Mrs. Moxey testified that she ceased to care for her daughter, Alice, after her marrlage to Harry Man- deville she had written letters to Mrs. Mandeville expressing great love for her and urging her to not let anything come between her and her husband. The letters were introduced in evidence. An- other letter to Mrs. Mandeviile from Mrs. Moxey, in_which she spokge of her mar- ge to Moxey, was also introduced. In this letter Mrs. Moxey sald she was mar- ried and yequested her daughter to still continue addressing her letters to her as Mrs. Philips. Cushing’s Reputation on Trial. The court-martial of Lieutenant Cush- ing, lately commander of the revenue cutter Golden Gate, was in progress yes- terday. Cushing produced a large num- ber of witnesses to testify ghat he had never called them the names that he cail- cd Customs Survevor Spear and that he treated them courteously, The prosecu- tion in rebuttal will endeavor to show tbat Lieutenant Cushing was court-mar- tialed shortly before he left the East for this coast and thht his reputation for suavity is bad. ——————— ‘Women Held to Answer.

Ho: ever, in a couple of events excellent time was hung out, and by to-day it will al- most be in shape for record breaking. Prin ia and Beana were the only worites, for Nugget, Gra- Wayne and Illowaho went down to defeat. To start off with, Minder, on San Lu- tion, a 12 to 1 shot, beat Mr. Dingle a | | | | | i | | | head for the opening five and a half furlong spri i. Woods again had the mount on Nugget, which went to the | post favorite, but he did not get his sall holsted in time, and was almost left. Miss idend, another out ran third. Beana, with Tommy Burns in the sad- dle, did not have much to beat in the mile and a furlong number, ana at odds, of 13 10 10 registered an easy winner. Greyfeld med up sore, but succeeded, under | Ransch’s pilotage, in beating Louwelsea ‘x'ur the place. Bonnie Lissak ran fourth. Closing a slight favorite over Constella- tor for the seven-furlong selling num- ber, Princess Titania proved a very handy inner. Birkenruth had the mount, and caught Maggie Felix wnen ready. Con- stellator was cut off soon after the start, Sing a loss of nearly half a dozen lengths. With all this fll luck, the Ryan entry finished third. Green Morris furnished the favorite for the -furlong purse event. Gravina closed a 7 to 10 favorite, and, never overburdened with speed, ran third. Iridius, from the Jennings stable, ridden by Ransch, led from the start, anf, with 4 bit left at the close, downed Claude a head. The winner was as good as 4 to 1 in the betting. The next winner also. carried the Jen- nings colors. Fort Wayne, from the Ar- | nold string, was the hot one for the fifth race, a five and a half furlong dash, clos- at 11 to 10 in the betting. C. Kel had the colt out in front to the paddock, 2 gan stopping, and little Con- on Bucolic, won without much diffi- 10 to 1 chance at one time. Gibraltar was third, less than a length behind the favorite. Frankie Reed, on the $)-pounder Esh- erin, captured the closing mile selling run, with odds of 4 to 1 about the filly, J. Ransch, on Illowaho, the favorite, did not put up.one of best efforts, and the light-weight downed him more than a length at the wire. Orfeo was third. ! NOTES OF THE PRACK. | _ Although Greyfeld warmed up lame, with Bullman on his back the chestnut horse would have made it interesting for Beana. | Tierney, owner of Quatre, has added Dark | Secret to his string. “‘Frisco’” Lind sold the sulker cheap.

Few American art students located in Paris are as lucky as was the now famous illus- trator, Oscar Holliday Bang- hart, the artjst whose pictures are creating so much favor- able comment and which are. at present being offered free with The Sunday Call. His work found almost immediate acceptance with the great Paris illustrated weeklies. So from this source alone he was in receipt of a large income, besides being a wealthy man from his commercial invest- ments.

In connection with the arrest of Geo‘l‘!c‘ Riley, the safecracker, in Henry O.} Wiedero’s crockery store, Fourth and Mission streets, early Sunday morning, | Chief Wittman vesterday sent the follow- ing letter to Captain Spillane and a copy to each of the other company command- ers: I wish you to publicly thank and commend Ofiicer T. C. Murphy, Cornoral Wall and Ofni- | cer J. H. Sullivan for their prompt and de- | cisive action which resulted In the capture and arrest of the safecracker, George Rilev, on the morning of yesterday at the corner of Fourth #nd Mission streets. It is evident that Riley was concerned in the other two safe jobs | which were done recently. The officers deserve warm praise for their vigilance which resulted in_this arrest. When the men of the southern division assembled for duty at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Lieutenant Conboy read the complimentary letter addressed to the threeo | men from Chief Wittman. the following letter from Captain John | Spillane, who feels highly elated over the splendid record made, not only of the men | who distinguished themselves on this oc- casion, but those of his command gener- | ally: i It s with great pleasure and gratitude that 1 compliment Corporal E. Wall and Officers T. | C. Murphy and J. H. Sullivan for the grand | capture made by them yesterday morning when | they arrested George Riley, a notorioud convict, blowing a safe open in the croc! store of Henry Wiedero at the corner of Mis- | sion and Fourth streets. Good judgment was | used by the officers and at the risk of their | lives they opened the front door, entering the | in the dark and capturing their man, | Wwho was caught redhanded in the act. This is | one of the best catches made by the Police De- partment in some time and will. probably, re- main such for years to come. To all the men of my command I have every reason to appre- ciate their splendid work during the present winter. Their record of arrests is a credit to the entire Police Department of San Fran- cisco. &y Riley appeared before Police Judge Fritz yesterday and after being instructed as to his rights the case was continued until to-day. RAILROAD BUILDING IN ISLAND OF CUBA New Road in Operation Between Santiago and Havana a Very Important Work. A raflroad train left Santiago fle Cuba a short time since for Havana direct with 150 passengers,. To newspaper read- ers in the United States this may seem a perfectly commonplace statement, hardly worth making. To the people of the Island of Cuba, however, the running of that railroad train is an event of high importance, for it was the first regular train over the new road built by the Cuba Company, of which Sir Willlam Van Horne is the moving spirit. This ! road runs from Santiago something over 300 miles through the heart of the island to Santa Clara, where It makes a junc- tion with existing lines, connecting Cien- fuegos on the south and with Matanzas on the north shore. Cuba has now about 1500 miles of railway in operation. The new line just opened by the Cuba Com- pany is important to the political and industrial life of the island, for the rea- son that it connects its two principal citles, Havana and Santlago, and that it traverses that great belt of territory in | the center of the island which has hither- | to had no facilities for transportation | save those afforded by perhaps the worst roads in the world. The new line is the backbone of the Cuban railroad system. Rail connection s now opened up from the province of Pinar del Rio in the west to Santiago in the east, practically the entire length of the island. As commer- cial need develops, lateral branches will | connect the central line with seaports on the north and south shores. Some short | lines are already in operation from these | Ex- cessively high freight and passenger charges have hitherto limited the traffic of Cuban raliroads to those who are under the pressure of strict necessity. ‘With the growth of her railroad system and of her commerce, the island may now expect the beneflt of more reasonablo | rates. It is reported that the new com- pany has adopted an enlightened policy of liberality in this respect.—New York | Times. THEY STUDY THE ART OF PLEASING CUSTOMERS | Chicago Swains Indebted to the| Candy Store Salesgirls for Getting the Right Thing. A fashionably dressed young man walk- ed into an exclusive candy store and gave his_order. “Five pounds, please, to Miss Genevieve Fairweather.” “Just a minute, please,” said the sales- woman. She walked to the cashier’s desk and took from the drawer a little booR,, bound in red morocco. Thumbing the index until she came to the F's, she turn- ed over to page 8, at the head of which appeared the name of the young woman in question. Below it were the following entries: Marshmallows, Crystallized fruit, Nut caramels, French bonbons, Candled cherries, Cream nougat, No chocolates or cocoanut. “The regular thing, sir?” said the sales- woman. “If you please.” Every one of the high class confection- ery stores keeps such a book, In which are written down the likes and aversions of each of their regular customers among the falr sex. So when a young man comes In to buy a box of candy for one of these favored ones he is certaln of getting just what she likes, and nothing else. And In many cases the young woman in question, not knowing or having forgotten that her taste in candy Is duly registered, Is pleas- antly surprised that Mr. Jones or Mr. Jenkins has'shown such good judgment In its selection.—Chicago Tribune.
