Mrs. Bierwith was re- moved to her home, and at a late hour Jast night was resting easily. The other pa ngers jumped from the car before it struck. Motorman Longdale stayed by his post and was severely cut by flying glass and splinters. He says he is not to blame for the collision. He claims that the brake on his car was defective and had been reported at the carhouse, but for some unknown reason had not been repaired. There is a slight grade leading to the railway crossing, and the car got beyond his control ard crashed through the gates. » The front of the car was demolished and had to be taken to the carshop for repairs. Passengers on the train were apprised of the accident by the blowing of whistles and the sudden stopping of the train. i —_——— CHIEF JUSTICE BEA' DECIDES AGAINST ICE Supreme Court Officials Are Forced to Discontinue the Drinking of Cooled Water. Chief Justice Beatty issued a decree vesterday that mo more ice shall be furnished to cool the drinking water of the preme Court officials. This © to the court attaches the interesting one handed down in ths. Washburn, Abe Johnson and some of the Justices will experience a considerable amount of inconvenience s a result of the ruling. Frank Jor- dan, Oscar Tolle and a few others will not be affected. Most of the numerous attorneys who visit the court have been in the habit of assuaging their thirst at the water cooler in the clerk’s office. Now. they will bave to take the elevator back to the street to get rid of the dryness in their throats. As a large proportion ’.’f the local members of the legal fra- ‘rnity have long ago declared indi- vidual boycotts on soda fountains, it is feared that the Chief Justicé's decision will make that $84 license look than ever. g The ice bill for the Supreme Court has averaged about $4 a month. Mrs. E street form to the Guerrero When Class for Best D og in Show Will Be Judged The fourth day of the animal show opened yesterday morning with bright prospects and ere the doors were closed after the night's exhibit the | largest crowd that has ever attended n event of the kind in this city had I ed through the doors of Mechan- ics’ Pavilion. The usual interest and enthusiasm prevailed throughout the day and evening and a large number of prize cats and dogs received re- wards. | The feature of the night's exhibi- | tion was the judging of the cats. ‘When the time for awarding the prizes rolled around nearly the entire fem- inine portion of the assemblage flock- | ed upstairs to attend the all important | ceremony. Great rivalry existed be- | tween the owners of the high art fe- | lines and they displayed no end of | anxiety and nervousness while the test for honors was in progress. John Riplinger's famoyg kennel of | English setters again furnished the sensation of the evening, winning first | priges in every class in which they were shown. All day long as well as | during the evening session these dogs were admired by the multitude, their stand attracting the major part of the | spectators. i The judging for the best dog in the | show did not take place last night as expected. This important ceremony has been reserved for to-night, as the | crowning event of the show, and much interest is being manifested by all the owners. Three judges will be | required to decide and the votes of two of them will be final. | The judging for the poultry prizes | has been completed. Last night a few | special prizes were awarded, but still the crowds did not desert the coops | and the royal birds came in for their | share of attention. “Dad” Moulton's | trick dogs won more applause by their | stunts and their popular owner was | kept busy for some time explaining | to the anxious ones the feats of his| talented pets. | { DOG SHOW AWARDS. pecial prizes, St. Bernards smooth coat or rough coat—First, E. nolly’s General B; reserve, W.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 4—The most interesting features of the water | boodle scandal to-day were the confes- stons of ex-Alderman Ghysels of the Sixth Ward, and C. Bissell, former member of the Board of Public Works, that they accepted bribes mentioned by Salsbury in his confession. Late this afternoon Alderman Ghy- sels went to Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Wards and made a statement of acknowledg- ing that he accepted an envelope from Salsbury containing $300. This confession was followed in a few minutes by the appearance of Bissell, who also made a statement of his con- nection with the deal, acknowledging |that he had accepted $500, and otherwise corroborating Salsbury’'s statements that he had approached the members of the Council with the boodle propo- sition. Both Ghysels and Bissell in- formed the prosecutor that they will plead guilty in the Superior Colrt to- morrow. Ex-Alderman Lozier of the Eleventh Ward. who neglected to appear when | wanted in the Police Court, has prom- ised to be in court to-morrow. ——————————— MURDERED BABY TOSSED INTO A MINE SHAFT Butte Miners Make a Grewsome Dis- covery in a Well About to Be Closed. BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 4—The body of a recently born boy was found in the bottom of a 150-foot shaft by two min- ers this afternoon. The sleeves of a woman's waist were tied tightly about the child’s neck, showing that the lit- tle one had been strangled to death before being thrown into the shaft. The boy was wrapped in a man’s soft shirt and a suit of woman’s underwear. By a singular coineidence the remains were discovered several ' hours after they had been cast away, as blood was still clotted on the corpse. Had the perpetrators of the crime waited sev- eral hours the abandoned shaft would have been closed by miners, with little chance of the tragedy ever becoming known. This was the first time the shaft had been entered within a year and the miners desired to see the bot- tom before closing the property. —_——— MYSTERY IS INVOLVED IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES Several Prominent Philadelphia Men Are Charged With Illegal Practices. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.—Suit has been entered against Colonel A. Loudon Snowdon, president of the Fairmount Perk Commission; Charles A. Porter, former State Senator; C. Kennedy Crossan, a contractor, and the estates of Ludwig 8. Filbert, who died about two months age. They are accused of having made illegal profits through the promotion of the Danville Bessemer Company, which was dissolved yester- day. The suit is brought to recover about $325,000, but the case is shrouded in mystery. ————— Madona Mystery Is Cleared. NOVATO, Dec. 4.—The mystefy sur- rounding the death of Gattardo Madona has at last been cleared. From facts brought to light it is now conclusively believed that the unfortunate man came to his death by his own negli- -gence, and that the body was robbed by tramps after Madona had been killed by an engine of the California Northwestern Railroad Company. Ma- dona went to sleep upoa the track and the engine killed him while he slept. ‘The authorities have failed to appre- hend the tramps, s ——— ! DUCKS MAY RETURN TO BAY PRESERVES WITH COLD SNAP Sportsmen Bemoan the Poor Shooting Afforded on the Marshes for Weeks Past Birds Reported in Great Numbers on Yolo Bottoms and Near Santa Barbara — Somewhere within the borders of this Lroad State there are millions of ducks fattening themselves on the wild feed which winter rains have started grow- ing. Some fortunate farmers’ boys are probably enjoying such -shooting as rarely falls to any man, In the mean- time the city sportsmen are disconso- late, as their heavily baited ponds on the Suisun, Sonoma and’' Alameda marshes have harbored but few ducks for several weeks past. Some well- known preserves have yielded five and even less birds to the gun where, in the earlier part of the season, limit-bags were the rule. The birds are reported .in immense numbers in Santa Barbara County and on the overflowed lands of Yalo Coun- ty, especially in the vicinity of Knights Landing. A heavy frost which wouid cause the water to freeze would quick- ly drive the birds to the waters of the sloughs, which would mean a scatter- icg of them over a wider area. The dry, cold weather of the present weoek has brought some birds back to the lower Alameda marshes and better sport is expected to-morrow than has been obtained for several weeks. This may hold good of all the preserves. The various clubs keep a record of the birds killed en their preserves. The results this year fall far short of pre- vious years. The Field and Tule Club members hope for good shooting to-morrow, when a number of members will be on their Suisun preserve. Those who have signified their intention of going are: M. E. Unger, H. L. Miller, H. B. Hos- mer, L. W. Harpham, A. M. Shields, Dr. A. T. Derby, W. Bay, Colonel Mc- Mahon, A. M. Cumming, J. B. Coleman and F. T. Hayes. The hot weather last Sunday had a depressing effect on the shooting at the Monterey preserve of the Empire Gun Club. Eight members were down. The best bag was twenty-eight ducks be- tween two men. The members who shot were: Con Roman, Dr. George G. Gere, F. L. Haupt, Dr. A. J. Sylvester, ‘Walter F. Wood, Bert Patrick, H. G. F. Schumacher, F. B. Surryhne and Messrs. Mitchell and Davidson, guests. The members who go down to-day will entertain B. A. Worthington, John M. Kilgarif and Captain Cantwell. Among the members Wil be: . Floyd S. Judah, Con Roman, Dr. G. G. Gere, C. A. Bennett, J. B. Hauer, T. Blair Tur- pin, L. H. Allen, W. O. Culien, J. Pel- tier, Bert Patrick, Dr. Clyde Payne and George A. Batchelder. The first large bunch of canvasbacks seen near here this season appeared in the Oakland estuary on Thursday. —_———— Eagles Hold Annual Election. The regular annual election of San Francisco Aerie No. 5, F. 0. E., took place last night. The attendance was unusually large and the voting very close. The following officers were elected to serve during the ensuing year: Presi- dent, Jerome Bassity; vice president, John 8. Parry; chaplain, James L. Na- gle; recording secretary, Gus Pohl- mann; financial secretary, H. D. Pohl- mann; treasurer, John T. Sullivan; con- ductor, Fred Everett; Inside guardian, John P. Rellley: outside guardian, T. M. Ferguson: trustees—Dan E. Ang- lum, Ernest Bohlen and Thomas J. Clancy; physicians, Edward Bunnell and J. J. Keefe. The growth of the order has increased wonderfully during the last year under the presidency of Harry I. Mulecrevy. At present there are about 1500 mem- bers in this aerie. The finances of the order are in a prosperous condition. When the election was announced, Mr. Bassity was called upen for a speech, and made a few remarks, thanking the members for electing him and the confidence they placed in him. Mr. Bassity was the first Eagle in Cali- fornia. —_————— Intercollegiate Basket Ball. BERKELEY, Dec. 4—The first inter- collegiate basket-ball game of the series of three arranged between the freshmen of the University of Califor- nia and the freshmen of Stanford Uni- versity will take place to-morrow night in Harmon Gymnasium.. The line-up of the teams will be as follows: Cali- fornia—Forwards, Horton, Wherry and Chubb; center, Bush; guards, Marshall, Goff and Egenhoff. Stdnford—Forwards, Presley, West and Parcelo; center, Redman; guards, Dole, Pierce, Chalmers and Conover. Head will play center for California during the second half. Shaw of the San Francisco Y. M. C. A team will be referee and Chappel of Stanford the umpire. —_— Low Humidity at San Diego. SAN DIEGO, Dec. 4—Between 2 and 3 o’clock this afternoon the lowest hu- midity ever recorded at this station was reported by Weather Observer Carpenter. By noon the humidity was 4 per cent, at 1 o'clock it was 3 per cent and at 2 o'clock 2 per cent. This extremely low humidity is due to the very high pressure prevailing in Ari- zona and Nevada, which forces the hu- midity on the coast to a low point. A telephone message from Campo says a storm is raging on the desert and has reached the mountains this side. |HONITON SMASHES A COAST RECORD IN THE FUTURITY COURSE HANDICAP Great Daughter of Ormonde Wins Easily From Iridius and Kenilwprth---Vena- tor, a Maiden, Creates a Sensation---Four Favorites Are Bowled Over, but the Bookmakers Do Not Profit Thereby---Miss Betty in Front POt AR 1A S TR i Ll TS Honiton, the flying daughter of Or- monde, now’owned by P. Ryan, knocked an even. half-second off the Futurity course record at Oakland track yester- day in taking the handicap, the new mark standing at 1:09. The three-year-old filly carried 110 pounds, and with Adkins in the saddle made all the running and won easily from the Jennings entry, Iridius. Ken- ilworth, shouldering 118 pounds, ran a fair third. The sensation of thé race was fur- nighed by Venator, a maiden, which was quoted at odds of 200 to 1 and dis- played a dazzling burst of speed, Tun- ning up a close second to the favorite until well into the stretch. " The poor bookies were again caught out of line, suffering severe losses. ‘While Honiton and Miss Betty were the only public choices to land, Prestolus, Redwald, Aunt Polly afid Dr. Bernays all had many admirers, which served to knock a big hole in the box office’ receipts. MARTIN OUTFINISHES KUNZ. Jack Martin on Prestolus, the second cholce, outfinished Kunz astride Blessed Damozel at the finish of the opening mile event, or the first choice would have scored. As it was, Prestolus only earned the verdict by the shortest of heads. Achilles ran third. Garnet Ferguson's filly Miss Betty, a 7 to 5 favorite, took the five and a half furlong two-year-old scramble from a big fleld. She ran out on the turns, which cost her several lengths, and was ridden out to beat Effervescence, a 12 to 1 shot. Barney Schreiber's Wini- freda, the pacemaker, ran into"the show. Plan was heralded as one of the real bargains of the menu and went to the post a prohounced favorite for the mile selling event. Bill Waldo had the mount and let the favorite fall so far out of it going the first quarter that ft could be seen his case was a hopeless one. Redwald, with J. Booker up, and 3% to 1, made a runaway race of it, winning clear of all incumbrances. The first choice did move along in time to down Constable for the place. 4 REY DARE HEAVILY PLAYED. A raft of coin was bet on James Nea- lon’s Rey e to win the six and a half furlong selling sprint. The brown gelding ran third, andler, on Aunt Polly, one of the second choices, slip- ped away in front at’the start and though hard pressed at the close led Puss in Boots out half a length. The favorite,” Rey Dare, naturally a slow beginner, had to tramp the overland route, but was going strongly the last part and over a longer route would probably have won. Almost any one of the eight start- ers in the final mile and a furlong run looked to have a chance, and it proved an open betting affair. Chub, at 3% to 1, finally went to the barrier a mild choice over Position and Illo- waho. Chileno, the early pacemaker, blew up, finishing last. Frankie Reed rode a well judged race on Dr. Ber- nays and in a furious drive his mount was awarded a nose decision over Ca- ronal, piloted by Larsen. BExpedient ran a fair third. NOTES OF THE TRACK. ‘Word was received at the track that Gus Wilson, the steeplechase rider, who was injured at Latonia some weeks ago, died in a hospital there yesterday. Wilson’'s home was in Oakland. He rode many winners on California tracks when a flat rider. P. Corrigan, the well-known Kan- sas City turfman and brother of Ed Corrigan, the Hawthorne magnate, was a spectator of the racing across the bay yesterday. A promising two-year-old sister to the speedy Josie G died at Oakland on Wednesday from lung fever. ‘While exercising Anirad, Frank Knoch, a 13-year-old lad in the em- ploy of Jimmy Coffey, met with a serious and possibly fatal accident at the track yesterday morning. The two-year-old broke away at the six- furlong pole, and, getting beyond his control, collided with the filly St. Winifrede. The boy was thrown to the ground and struck on the head and chest by the animal's hoofs® The sufferer was later removed to Fabiola Hospital. Jake Marklein, the Cincinnati turf- man, is a recent arrival from the Eastern country. Owing to the death of an elder brother Johnny Humphrey was not at the track yesterday. His place on the block was taken by Jack Atkin. “Do¢” Kyle, Frank Regan, Frank McMahon and Frank Healy, well- known turfmen, were passengers on the Ingleside car that narrowly escaped being run down by a South- ern Pacific train in the Mission yester- day. {)‘enntor had never faced the bar- rier before and his trainer must be given credit for picking out a soft spot in which to start him. The mile and a sixteenth handicap, with an excellent fleld of starters, should furnish a pretty contest this loon. The pamphlet issued by A. B.
