Man- uel, a convict serving a sentence | for perjury committed in Madera County, was shot and killed at the Folsom prison this afternoon while attempting to escape. Manuel was a second-termer and was BLONS OFF HEAD NITH DYAAMITE Sensational Suicide of an Unknown Man on Wharf. L SR An unknown man committed suicide by | a tragic method at the end of a Green- wich street pler yesterday afternoon. Placing a stick of dynamite in his mouth he caused an explosion that blew his head from his body. Just before the act the unknown man waved a farewell to all within sight. The report of the ex- plosion was heard - at. a great distance. The . headless body dropped into the bay and was picked up by the crew of the steam schooner Henrjetta. About the middle of the afternoon Cap- tain Charles Boyd of the Henrietta ob- served a.man standing at the end of Greenwich street pler No. 2 waving his arms frantically. He next heard the ex- plosion and saw the body topple into the water. A small boat was put out and the crew reached the scene as soon as possible. The body was still afloat and was dragged aboard and the Coroner noti- fled. The head had been completely severed by the force of the dynamite. There is no clew as to who the un- fortunate suicide is. He was poorly dressed and was without doubt a laborer, probably employed about the water front. He wore a black coat, a brown vest and trousers of a light material. - His hands were hardened by work and he was about five feet ‘ten inches in height. Just how the man accomplished his death is mnot known. A plece of fuse was found on the wharf near the body and this may have been used in exploding the dynamite. — e~ ELECTRIC COMPANY RESTRAINED BY COURT Judge Morrow Stops the Yreka Trus- tees From Violating Important Franchise Ordinance.. United States Circult Judge Morrow yes- terday lssued a temporary restraining or- der, directed to the Siskiyou ' Electric Power Company, the ¢ity of Yreka and the Trustees of the same, forbidding them to continue the erection of electric polés and wires in the/streets of that..city, pending the determination of a sult filed against them by David Hearfleld and E. T. Osborn, British subjects, who allege that the respondents are proceeding in de- flance of law and an ordinance of the city of Yreka. The allegation is made that although the Trustees passed an ordinance calling for bids for the franchise to furnish elec- tric light, heat and power in that city, the Siskiyou Electric Power Company has proceeded to erect its poles and string its wires without having obtained any tranchise therefor. The ordinance re- quires that the franchise shall be sold to the highest bidder and that 2 per cent of the gross recelpts annually of the com- pany shall be pald into the city treasury. ————— Many actors and singers use Piso’s Cure to the voice and prevent hoarseness. * L CONVICT WHO WAS KILLED BY FOLSOM GUARDS WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE. & e regarded as a desperate man. He often was suspected of distributing opfum among the prisoners, and in May last, when he was discovered in the act, two years of his credits were taken away by the Board of Prison Directors. After that episode Manuel was closely watched, and yesterday he was found with a quantity of opium on his person. By way of punishment he was consigned to one of the dungeons to live on a bread- and-water diet. Warden Wilkinson sus- pected that Manuel secured the opium at a place near the prison, where it was cached, and this afternoon, upon express- Ing a readiness to show where he got the 6plum, Manuel was taken from his dun- geon by guards and escorted to the local- ity where he pretended the store of opium was concealed. It was soon evident that Manuel's apparent willingness to divulge the hiding place of the oplum was merely in furtherance of a desire to escape, for when the group passed the quarry Man- uel broke and clambered like a deer up the hillside. The hill is the same over which George Sontag unsuccessfully attempted to es- cape some years ago. The guards at dif- ferent points ordered Manuel to stop, but as he continued to run they opened fire on him at once and he dropped dead, pierced by their bullets. Manuel was sent from Madera County PRISONER MAKES DARING ESCAPE Takes Desperate Risk at City Jail. Climbs Down a Rope Made Out of a Blanket to Floor Below. “Andrew Metzinger, a trusty in the City Prison who was serving a term of one year, made a sensational escape early yesterday mornming, and detectives are | scouring the city to find him. He made a rope out of his blankets, which he tied to the leg of his bunk, then with a key, | which he had by some unknown means | procured, he unlocked the padlock that ! keeps the iron grating over the window | secure, opened the window and slid down | the rope to the ledge of a window on the | next floor. Opening this window, he jump- | ed to the stairway leading to this floor.l and the rest was easy. i The trusties are called at 5 o’clock each ; | | | morning to clean up, but, although they must have seen the open window and the dangling rope, they sald nothing about it to Sergeant Melody or Policemen Fan- ning and Love, who were on duty at the prison. Metzinger's absence was not missed till the watch was changed and | Sergeant Bidwell, the prison-keeper, re- ported for duty at 8 o'clock. Bidwell was the first to discover Metzinger's absence. It way etzinger's duty to sweep out the place behind the booking desk. It had not been swept, and Bidwell went to the trusties’ apartments to ascertain the rea- | son why. Then he discovered the open | window and dangling rope and found that | Metzinger was missing. TAKES DESPERATE RISK. The sleeping apartments of the trusties, eleven in number, are located behind the elevator. The windows look Into the light well in the center of the building. Metzinger occupied a bunk at the extreme south end of the structure, and it was out of the window close to his bunk that he made his escape. The other trusties say that some of them, Metzinger included, were talking till 12:30 o’'clock, when they fell asleep. Metainger took none of them into his confidence. Metzinger took %= desperate risk in making his escape. The window is about ninety feet from the ground, and if he had lost his nerve or the rope had broken he would have struck against the glass roof covering the courtyard and been torn to pieces by the broken glass like the hound that jumped from the roof some months ago. How he got the key to unlock the padlock is a mystery, but it is supposed that some friend slipped it to him while visiting him in prison. GETS A LIGHT SENTENCE. Metzinger was arrested on August 20 by Detectives Regan and O'Connell on charges of burglary and grand larceny. He was accused of entering the room of Miss Nora McNamara at 1046 Folsom street and stealing her trunk, which con- tained all her personal effects, and also with stealing a bicycle belonging to Al- fred W. Tuttle. Owing to his previous good character and the fact that his wife was sick Police Judge Mogan on October 6 reduced the charges to petty larceny | and sentenced him to serve six months on each charge. Instead of being put in the County Jail he was selected to act as | a trusty at the City Prison. Chief Wittman will make a thorough investigation into the circumstances that preceded and followed ¢he prisoner's es- cape. —_————— A Fine Exhibition.

The attending physiclan diagnosed the case as one of Bright's dis- ease, and the body was buried at Cypress Lawn Cemetery, near this city, without an investigation. Since then the {liness of other members of the family gave rise to suspicion that their drinking water was tainted.

Dr. Austin Bookcases was called in and succeeded in saving the Desks lives of the mother and one child, but Verel was 50 terribly infected with the Chairs poisonous metal that she died yesterday morning. Willlam Redford, - the father, Tables, Et& also showed symptoms of lead poisoning, but the fact that his occupation called him away from home and he did not drink much of the water at the house pre- vented him from becoming dangerously infected with the poison. An investigation developed that the plumbers in connecting the house with the water main had left large deposits of car- bonate of lead mixed with ofl in the tank furnishing water to the house, and that this was carried in the water consumed by the family. The members of the fam- ily of Engineer Walker, who reside next door to the Redfords, were similarly af- fected, but they cleaned their water tank at the first developments of the poisoning and were not seriously injured. Redford has secured a bottle of the infected water, which shows a heavy deposit of carbonate of lead. Mrs. Redford and her remaining child have been removed from St. Luke's Hos- pital to the home of a friend on Eighteenth strest. Dr. Austin states that both will recover, although they will suf. fer the effects of the poison for a long time.

Miss Tilly Stone, who played the role of the rather frivolous Gay Carlisle, was literally stormed with appiause and flow- ers. The two leading parts were played by Mrs. M. Rush and H. C. Levy and both acted well. Harry Greenberg took the part of Ed- win Carlisle, who unfortunately is shot and killed in the first act. He was there- fore disqualified for further appearance, but was later on called upon for a curtain speech.
