It was very lucky for the inmates of the ‘house that they were downstairs, or several of them would undoubtedly has perished. Usually only Hanson, his wife and child and the drivers are in the house, but as Miss Schillinsky was so low her other relatives were there to assist in her care. The house and everything In it except | the few scant garments in which the in- mates escaped were burned. A large barn back of the house was also destroyed, but the four horses and two express wagons ! which were in it were taken out safely by the volunteer firemen. These men worked like beavers, and with a scant water sup- ply saved the Church of the Good Shep- herd(Episcopal), on the west of the burned buflding, and the residence of Frank Rose, on the east. Both the church and the house were scorched. The loss is between $3000 and $4000, par- tially covered by insurance. The resi- dence was owned by Mrs. C. Hanson, Harry Hanson's mother.\ The victims of the fire are at present at her home, 900 Bristol street. = Neighbors took them clothes to wear until they can secure oth- ers. Miss Schillinsky was born in Dutch Flat twenty-four years ago. She had been a sufferer from consumption for some time and had been confined to her bed for tne past three months. No date for ihe funeral has been set. Shriners to Visit Nevada City.

Attorney Peter Dunne, for the Southern Pacific Company, made an appeal for a stay of execution in the case of Coulter’ vs. the Southern Pacific Company in the United States Circult Court yesterday. Judge Morrow denied it on the ground that the execution is already stayed un- til the first Monday in March, but gave the railroad’s attorney the option of ap- pealing for a further stay at that time. The decision of the court awarded the heirs of F. Coulter $4500 damages for his death in a wreck near Winnemucca. reigning | settled whether a Prince | open until 9 o'clock. There will be two | franchise expiring on November 6 of this | year. Horace G. Platt, president of the com- | pany, called attention to the fact that| [ the petition for the privilege had been | signed by owners of property having 33,000 | feet frontage. He said the entire frontage along the route was 41,000 feet, of which | 1700 feet belonged to the city and 1700 to the cemeteries. “The question to be decided,” said | | Platt, s whether the charter of the| city or the Broughton act controls. If| this board decides that the charter con-| trols, of course, we will be driven to our legal remedy by suing eut a writ of man- date to compel the auctioning of the franchise under the State law.” Chairman Braunhart of the committee quoted from City Attorney Lane's opin- fon stating that there is an irreconcllable conflict between the charter and the Broughton act regarding the granting of | street rallway franchises, and the board must therefore stand by the charter. Braunhart asked Platt if the company would agree to withdraw its application under the Broughton act and file a new application in consonance with the char- ter provisions. “If this is done,” said Braunhart, “the | board can then dictate the terms upon | which the franchise shall be granted. Un- der the Broughton act the board would ke powerless to impose condition: Platt replied that he believed the Broughton act was superior to the char- ter and he would not submit a new ap- plication until the courts had decided whether the State or city laws controlled. Platt asked the committee either to grant or deny the application in order that the issue would be clear-cut. Braun- hart replied that he did not desire to as- sist in any way the litigation which the cumpany proposes to bring. Connor asked that action on the appli- cation be postponed two weeks in order to give the company an opportunity to Hle arother application according to charter | requirements. Wilson thought that such | actlon was discourteous to the company in view of the fact that it asked for an early decision either one way or the oth- er on its application for a franchise. The motion to postpone action was then car- rled. e b ik OBJECTS TO TWO RESOLUTIONS City Attorney Wants No Limit on Spring Valley’s Income. City Attorney Lane vesterday advised the Board of Supervisors not to adopt two proposed resolutions providing that it be the sense of the board that in fixing the water rates the Spring Valley Water Com- pany be not allowed more than a 5 per cent revenue on the value of its proper- ties actually in use for supplying water and eliminating entirely the franchise value from the appraisement in comput- ing the income to be allowed the com- pany. The City Attorney says: T advige against passing any resolution de- claring what basis you will take for arriving at the rates fixed. You are in no manner bound to make such a declaration and it might prove emberrassing In case the rates : were contested. What is not required by law in such a matter should not be donme. The rates fixed misht be defensible upon a basis other than that which you had formally ex- , and while it could not be proved that in your final action you had followed your deciared purpose the presence of such resolu- tion would glve color to such assumption, pany had already proceeded to erect the poles, but the City Attorney advised that it has no right or warrant in law to do so, but must first obtain a franchise therefor. “We hold that this application is not for a franchise,” said Tirey L. Ford, at- torney for the company, “but for a riglc of way. In the very nature of things there can be no competitive bidding. here will be no gross receipts, and con- uently there can be no regulation of rates. We need this line of poleg to op- erate our road. We are now strained to the top notch and we must obtain the power."” The committee postponed action for on= week on the petition. Similar action was taken on the petition of the same com- pany for permission to lay a steel pipe line to convey fuel ofl from Seventh and Berry streets and North Beach to its power plants at Bryant and Division streets and at North Point and Buchanan streets. John Diehl asked the committee to ad- vise him when the market places in Mis- sion Bay are offered for rental, as he de- sired to bid thereon. The Southern Pa- cific Company wants the blocks for ter- minal purposes for its proposed bay shore 1ne. The committee recommended that Third street, from Mission to Berry, be wid- ened and paved with basalt blocks, and that the Third-street sewer be extended from Berry street south. The estimated cost of the work is $80,000. The petition of the Sunset District Im- provement Club for an amendment to the ordinance relating to macadamizing of streets so as to include the ofling thereot was referred to the Board of Works for investigation and report. The committee recommended the repav- ing with bitumen of Dupont streeta from Sacramento street to Pacific, as a cdst of $10,000. Says Company Was Careless. A suit for $10.750 damages was filed yes- terday against the United Railroads by Anna Matskin. She claims that through the carelessness of the company she was thrown from an Ellis street car last Au- sust and severely injured. which municipal reports shall be made and algo to secure methods in order to in- sure a more uniform system of account- ing in city records.
