R RS Present Condition Forbids Fast Travel by Horses Over Road. ———— Owners and lovers of fast trotting stock of this city are bewailing the carelessness and negelect that has brought to utter ruin the once magnificent speedway in Golden Gate Park. In its present condi- tion it would be utterly unsafe to speed a good horse over it and permanent in- jury to an animal sent at a rapid gait on the rulned road would be almost cer- tain to result. This speedway was constructed in 1888 by private subscription. A committee of gentlemen who were admirers of road- sters, headed by Charles Webb Howard, president of the Spring Valley Water Company. raised by private subscription $32,500, all of which was put into the con- It was sur- faced with clay for a length of a mile and a quarter and through the center a hedge was run to prevent collisions. On its completion it was considered to be one | of the most pertect speedways for public committee a special vote| of thanks was | tendered to E. B. Leffingwhll, president of the San Francisco PressClub, and Colongl Charles L. Pierce of the S%ns of Veterans for their accomplished serVices in the en- tertainment of newspaper Wwriters. A committee consisting of W. H. Jordan, Charles E. Wilson, W. E. Lutz and George Stone was appointed to express in proper fashion a sense of the executive committee's appreciation of the splendid and generous work performed by the San Francisco newspapers in aid of the en- campment. The reviewing stands on Van Ness ave- nue stated that extra expense and much trouble were caused by the refusal of An- drew Maguire to estend to the committee the commonest kind of civility. EXPENSE OF ENCAMPMENT. Last nignc Jeneral Stone, after review- ing all the bills and considering obliga- tions yet to be filed, estimated that the entire expense of the encampment would approximate $57,000. This does not include the amounts expended by the Grand Army posts of the city and State. The veterans of the San Joaquin, Sacramento, Santa Clara, Napa and Sonoma valleys enter- tained visitors with lavish hospitality. George H. Thomas Post of San Francisco expended $4000 In the entertainment of guests. Lincoln and Garfield posts and the Loyal Legion Commandery also en- tertained in generous style. Comrade Sam Birch of Russell Post No. Ohio, died yesterday at St. Winifred's Hospital. The death was reported to the committee and arrangements were at once made for sending the body home to Ohfo. The wife of Comrade H. S. Rickoff of Clinton, Ia., is at the California General Hospital. Dr. Winslow Anderson of the Encampment Medical Corps reported that her left thigh was accidentally broken on the day of her arrival in S8an Francisco. She will soon be able to travel. The exec- utive committee secured a drawing-room for her accommodation. Comrade Sigle of Cincinnati is at the Earlwood Hotel, Fourth street. He had a stroke of apoplexy last Monday and is now paralyzedl His wife is desirous of taking him to his Ohio home. It was reported that Mrs. Richardson, who is T8 years of age, was sick at Mc- Nutt's Hospital. She is doing well. REMOVING DECORATIONS. Within a few days nothing will remain to remind people that the encampment was held h The fact that thousands of veterans visited this city for a week has gone down to history and will be looked back upon as one of the most remark- gatherings held in this vicinity in All the decorations are belng re- sved from houses and streets and In a few days every vestige will be gone. Scores of men worked all day yesterday pping the arches of their thousands of electric lights. The flag poles were stripped of their flags and the poles are being carted away to the Corporation vard, there to remain until some other celebration requires their use. The flag- poles are the property of the municipality and were made for permanent use. Every wire that stretc.es across the main thoroughfare is being taken down and the thousands of incandescent lamps used are being set aside for future use. The citizens have removed the bunting business and the streets no longer pre- | sent a holiday appearance. | Few of the veterans remain here. | the last three days the old soldiers have been departing on special and regular trains for their homes, delighted with heir trip and highly pleased with the hos- itality of the people of this State. | The total fund avallable for the recep- tion and eptertainment of the Grand | Army was $55920 75. Of this amount the | Legislature made an appropriation of $25,- | 000, ana $30,92 | untary subscription. | RECENT CONTRIBUTORS.

It was turned over to the Park Commis- sioners at absolutely no expense, with the understanding that this body would keep it in perfect repair, and was gladly ac- cepted under those conditions. Among the contributors to the fund for construction were such enthuslastic horsemen as Fred Sharon, Christopher W. Smith, Fred and Will Talbot, Adolph B. Spreckels, Charles Webb Howard, Adolph Sutro and a host of others, who gladly contributed amounts up to $500 apiece to build the road. SURFACING WASHED AWAY. At the present time, through persistent neglect, the clay surface has been washed or blown away in a thousand places, leaving ruts and holes in the road that would certainly bring disaster if it were ever used for the purpose for which it was built. Drivers know this and have reluctantly been compelled to abandon at- | tempts to send their roadsters over it at and designs that beautified their places of | For | | 20 75 was contributed by vol- | §20; Pro- | H. Webber, $20; Gulf Bag | | anything faster than a walk. Not only is the road ruined, but the turf bordering it has been so neglected that the grass is sere and yellow and the shrubbery 1s covered with the red dust of the road. Recently an attempt was made to oil the speedway, but the defécts in the surfac- ing will render this more of an injury than a benefit. The king of pacers, Dan Patch, would have difficulty in doing a mile over it in 2:20, even supposing that his owner could be prevailed to risk the animal in the trial. Christopher W. Smith of Redington & Co., who was one of the original sub- scribers to the speedway fund, said yes- terday: “In its present condition it is un- safe to drive a horse at a fast gait over the speedway. I never use it any more. A couple of months ago I sent a horse belonging to my wife over it and it was | five or six weeks before I could get him right again.” John C. Kirkpatrick, manager of the Palace Hotel and a road driver who loves the game, sald: “The speedway Is not fit to drive over in its present condition. It will have to be reclayed in order to make | it safe.” The Park Commissioners are spending money lavishly in betterments. They have gone in strongly for the water cure. They have built chains of Lake and Stowe Lake—and now they pro- pose to expend $50,000 over near the buf- falo park for a lake to be used exclu- sively by children on which to sail toy yachts. Another bunch of money, con- cerning the exact amount of whic Commissioners call each other hard names at nearly every meeting, was put into the cengtruction of a Dutch windmill.

Children should rave a place on which to sail their | . fond of aquatic wculd have lakes on which tc Commuissicners should have tk *h windinill if they want it, but men and korses should be given some little mecd of coosideration in this beautifui public resort. Take away from Golden Gate Park its Gaily and holiday attendance of equip- ages 2nd one of its greatest beauties : most futeresting features will be mis ing. Love of good horses is a natural crait in men and women. The numver and class of ecuipages is a good indcx of the wealth and culture of a city. Pub- Yc bedics should do everything in their power to encourage the possession of su- perior Forses by the inhabitants. Driv- ing is a healthful and menly pastime and a rublic ground like Golden Ga‘*: Park should afford from its abundar* mecans every facility for the exercise of it. A little thought on the part of the Com- missioners will likely lead them to the conclusion that five men of wealth can better employ the time consumed in their meetings in devising means for rehabili- tating the speedway than in discussing the overwhelming question as to whether Commissioner Aitman’s leg was inside or outside the door when the roll was called. A proposal has been advanced for the construction of a three-quarter-mile cir- cular speedway which will take in a part of the present abandoned straightaway course. This proposal carries with it the provision that the expenses for construct- ing the new track shall be raised by pop- ular subscription, as was done with the old speedway. On the inside of the in- closure is to be a field for polo playing and similar sports. In view of the present condition of the peedway it is likely that road drivers iwlll consider any proposition for a new speedway on the terms advanced as mere- ly throwing good money after bad. The indifference of the Park Commissioners to the welfare of the old speedway, not- withstanding that they accepted it under the condition that they would keep it in full repalr, is a poor guarantee that any better spirit will be shown toward the proposed new course. ——————— Ordinary cuts, burns and bruises cured over night by Koenigstein's Red Salve. * Give Reception to President.

A rumor was on the street yesterday that the Glant Powder Company had finally agrecd to join in a combine with the other manufacturers of explosives on the Pacific Coast. On authority this was denied, but it was admitted that a combination may be made to include a'l the powder making compa- nies on this coast if certain conditions are complled with that will prove to be satisfactory to the directors and stock- holders of the Giant Powder Company. All the other powder companies have practically given their approval to a plan for combination that was broached some time ago by Mr. Dupont, who came from the East to arrange the preliminaries. The principal point that seems to con- cern the Glant Powder people is the pflce to be placed upon its properties. When negotiations were progressing some months ago theé Giant Powder people were not prepared to act. It has now been ar- ranged that appraisers shall come to the Pacific Coast some time in September for the purpose of estimating the value of the several powder companies’ properties. They will estimate upon the Giant Pow- der Company along with the others, and if the price to be fixed seems adequate to the directors of the Giant Company, said a prominent official of that corpora- tion last evening, the directors will prob- ably recommend to the stockholders that their stock be placed in escrow as the preliminary step for forming the proposed combine with miilions of capital. N A Prominent Advertiser Here. Mr. Willam C. Johnson, advertising manager for the Dr. Miles Medical Com- pany of Elkhart, Ind., accompanied by his wife, arrived here on the overland yester- day. ‘Mr. Johnson is considered one of the best advertising men in his line, being fully conversant with all the details of the medicine business and accurately posted as "é thcfi;‘alntlve > lues of news- papers as adver media. The Dr. Miles remedies have been the center on which have been focused the at- tacks of cut-rate drugmuu, all over the country. The advertising appropriation runs close to half a milllon dollars an nually and the sales of the various prepa- rations are something enormous.

B B e e e e e e R R T FILES PETITION FOR FRANCHIE Santa Fe System Would Operate Road on Cer- tain Streets. i . The Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway system flled a petition with the Board of Supervisors yesterday for a franchise for a steam road along por- tions of Seventeenth or Mariposa street, Seventh street, Sixteenth street and Hub- bell street and upon private property awned by the company. A form of ordi- nance, embodying the usual conditions and describing the desired franchise ex- actly, accompanies the petition. The peti- tlon was referred to the Street Commit- tee for investigation and report. The franchise is Intended to permit of the connecting of the terminals already pur- chased by the company in the Potrero with the oil tanks in the vicinity of Sev- enth and Hubbell streets. The proposed ordinance tollows: Providing for a_grant to the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe Railway Company of the right of way and the right to construct and operate a raflroad from a point In Indiana street, near Eighteenth street; thence westerly on a ‘curve to a point on the center line of Mariposa street; thence westerly on a curve ng Mariposa street; ‘thence westerly and ortherly along Mariposa street, crossing Penn- sylvania avenue and Seventeenth street to a point on Seventh street on a curve; thence along the southwest side of Seventh street to a point on the center line of Sixteenth street; thence along Sixteenth street to the east lin C Also for a track from point on Sixteenth street, near Arkansas street; thence on a curve along the northeast side of Hubbell street to Seventh street. The right is granted to the said railway to run and use its cars propelled by steam or other power along the streets described, and that if at any time during the term of this franchise the city decides that the operation of steam locomotives is not desirable within the city limits that upon written notice of not less than one year to that effect being served upon the company the company agrees to with. draw all such steam locomotives and substitute electricity or some other less objectionable mo- tive power. And the company further agrees that it shall not allow any car or locomotive to stand upon any part of Mariposa street and Sixteenth street and that no freight shall be received or R and the right to use the streets for yard pu poses is understood to be absolutely prohibited. That the company shall lay its tracks flush with the streets wherever same shall have been graded and accepts the condition provided by the charter for a common use of its tracks by other railroads. the company must commence the con- struction of the work within one year and fully complete the same within five years from the passage of this ordinance. v ————— ANGELS CAMP, Aug. 24.—John Malaspin, well-known rancher living two miles from ervoir Sunday afternoon, when he was taken ‘with a fainting spell and fell into the water and was drowned before assistance could reach him. 4 BEGINS INQUIAY IN SALARY RAISE Finance Committee Puts Two City Boards on the Rack. Hackmen's Union Calls At- tention to Bad Condition of Mission Road. —_— The Supervisors’ Finance Committee be- gan an inquiry yesterday into the whole- sale increases in salaries of subordinates by the Board of Public Works and the Board of Health. The committee was fortified with a list of some seventy cm- ployes who were favored by the boards | named and the names were taken up ser- | jatim for the purpose of inquiring into the | reasons for the increases. | The first name to be considered was | that of Leonard Leavey, chief bookkeeper | of the Board of Works, who was raised from $1800 to $2100 per year without any provision for the raise being made by the | Supervisors in the last annual tax budget. President Casey of the Board of Works held that the board named had ample au- thority to increase salaries if it so desired and declared that Leavey's salary wa.s; raised because he was worth it and the amount was not any higher than that re- celved by head bookkeepers in private | business houses. The committee, seeing | that it had a mountain of labor before it, decided to take up consideration of the matter to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The joint Committee on Judiclary and Health recommended to the Board of Su- pervisors at its meeting the passage oban ordinance extending the limits within | which it is unlawful to keep more than two cows or swine and the bill will be considered at next Monday's meeting, when interested parties will attend. The ordinance ordering the repaving of Spear street, between Mission and Mar- ket, at a cost of not to exceed $13,000 was passed to print. Connor -opposed the ordinance authoriz- ing an expenditure of $1000 to defray the expenses of Chief Engineer Sullivan of | the Fire Department in attending the convention of Fire Engineers in Atlanfic | City, N. J. Connor said it would be a bad | precedent to establish and the board had | no right to expend the money for the purpose named, Wilson said Sullivan was being sent by the Fire Commission to study the varfous fire departments of | Eastern citles. The ordinance was finally passed. The Mayor's veto of the ordinance authorizing an expenditure of $517 for iwo | horses for the Almshouse was overridden by the votes of fifteen Supervisors. The Mayor held that the price charged was excessive, but evidence was adduced that the horses were exceptionally heavy and | could not be purchased for less. The communication from the Hack- men's Unlon calling attention to the de- plorable condition of Mission road, be- tween Onondaga avenue and the county line, was referred to the Street Commut- tee. The union desires to have the road oiled so that traffic may not be impeded. —_————————— RECEIVES A HANDSOME SILVER LOVING CUP Nurses of French Hospital Present Token of Esteem to Dr. F. P. Canac Marquis. Twenty-five trained nurses of the French Hospital called upon Dr. F. P. Canac Marquis at his residence, 1101 Van Ness avenue, last evening and on behalf of all the nurses of the institution presented him with a handsome silver loving-cup as a mark of the esteem in which they hold him. Dr. Marquis was overwhelmed and could hardly express his gratitude. The present, coming as it did from the young women who have labored with him in the care of the sick and at a time when his relations with the management of the hospital are strained, was a great sur- prise. The gift was to have been presented to | the povular physician in the library of the French Hospital, but Superintendent Miquiu, who has shown a strong feeling of aversion to the doctor, declined to per- mit the use of the room. He suggested, however, that the nurses might use the dining-room for the purpose, but the spokeswoman replied that the dining-room was for eating in and not for presenta- tions. Upon reporting back to her fellow nurses it was decided that those who were off duty should call upon Dr. Mar- quis and express their regard for him. ‘Twenty-five nurses gathered in the doc- tor's parlor and the handsome cup was placed in the center of the circle. Miss P. McCurdy, chief of the operating- room, stepped forward when the doctor entered the room and on behalf of the nurses of the French Hospital said: “Doc-. tor, the nurses of the French Hospital present you with this loving-cup as a re- membrance of the love and respect they have for you and as a slight recompense for the many kindnesses you have shown us.” . Dr. Marquis resigned the position of chief surgeon of the French Hospital two weeks ago, and the nurses keenly feel his departure —_—————— DEFENDANT REFUSES TO PAY FEES FOR JURORS His Answer Is Stricken From the Record and Judgment Given for Plaintiff. The case of Stephen Otis against John A. Walls came up for trial before a jury in Judge Cook’s court yesterday after- noon. Otis had put up the coin for jury fees, but Walls refused, and the Judge ordered his answer stricKen from the rec- ord. The jury was impaneled and un- der instructions of.the Judge brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. Otis and Walls are stockbrokers. In December, 1895, Walls gave Otis a promis- sory note for $1077 75, which was to bear interest at 7 per cent. Nothing was paid in the shape of interest or to reduce the principal, and on November 28, 190, Walls wrote an indorsement on the back of the note promising to pay the principal and interest within sixty days. Repeated de- mands were made upon Walls to fulfill his promise, but without success, and suit was entered to recover the amount of the note and interest from December. 139, —_—— Baumgarten Gets Long Respite. ‘The wheels of justice are grinding slow- 1y in the case of Jacob Baumgarten, the voung man arrested on the evening of the Corbett-Jeffries fight by Detective Freel for selling tickets without a license.

SECOND VENTURE PROVES FAILLRE Sadie Wing' Secures a Divorce From Army Surgeon. Ex-Wife of Stanford Student Fails Again to Find Happiness. — Sadie Rice Jordan-Wing secured a di- | vorce from Dr. Franklin F. Wing, sur- ‘geun, United States army, yesterday in | Judge Hebbard's court. It was shown | by the evidence that he had treated her cruelly. Wing did not appear to contest the suit, contenting himself with filing a general denfal of the charges. The Wings were married in March, 1901, after a three weeks' courtship, Mrs. Wing t that time being the divorced wife of “Babe” Jordan, a well known and popu- lar student at Stanford University. The wedding took place at Sacta Cruz. Judge Hebbard also granted a divorce to Violet F. Waller from Julian L. Wal- ler, manager of the Peri Drug Company. | The ground was infidelity and cruelty. The Wallers lived at 230 Haight street. Judge Kerrigan granted a divorce te E. B. Marks from Gabriel Marks for nes- lect, and Judge Graham granted Jane F. Casey a divorce from James J. Casey for infidelity and cruelty. The Caseys have achieved considerable notoriety since their marriage last Janu- ary. Mrs. Casey, who is but 17 years of age, had her husband. who was super- intendent of construction of the. Bay Counties Power Company, arrested for beating her within two months aftsr their marriage. He was never tried, the charge being dismissed. Then she sued him for divorce, and he had her arrested on a charge of insanity. He did not appear to support his charge. She was dis- charged, and Judge Graham lssued a bench warrant for his arrest. It was never served, for Casey disappeared and has not been seen in this neighborhpod since.
