Two resolutions adopted by the Board of Supervisors authorizing ex-! penditures of $3000 for ten horses | and $2479 for nine horses supplied | by John J. Doyle to the Fire Depart- ment were sent to Mayor Schmitz yes- terday for his approval. Some months ago the Mayor vetoed ! an authorization for $500 for two horses purchased by the Health De- | partment for the Almshouse on the' ground that horses were being bought | by the Fire Department for $200 each ! and less. It was brought to the at-| tention of his Honor that heavy dranz horses commanded ‘a much higher figure, but he refused to withdraw his veto of the demand. Supervisors then overrode his veto by the necessary fourteen veotes. The fact that the Fire Department has paid $300 each for horses in ong in- stance and $275 in another seems to uphold the claim of the board named that high prices prevail for first-class horses such as the Fire Department needs. et PERSONAL MENTION.

PPyt WOMAN FINDS A SACK OF HUMAN BONES IN BUREAU Mrs. Richmond Makes Grewsome Discovery in Plece of Furniture Bought at Auction. It is not known whether or not Mrs. Jane Richmond of 542% Turk street remembered ’whnt Hamlet said at the grave of poor Yorick—"“to what base uses we may return”—but it can be correctly surmised that she was not pleasantly surprised upon opening a bureau drawer to find reposing therein a sack containing an assortment of hu- man bones. Some time ago Mrs. Rich- | mond attended an auction sale of fur- niture at the warerooms of Charles Levy, 1135 Market street, and purchased a bureau for $3. The furniture was sent to her house and it was not until yes- terday afternoon that she had occasion to look over her purchase. Upon open- ing one of the lower drawers the sack containing the bones came to light. The Coroner and police were notified and the grewsome relics were removed to the Morgue. An investigation developed the fact that they undoubtedly be- longed to some medical student, as many pencil marks indicative of ana- tomical memoranda were found on them. ‘ —————— OAKLAND, Dec. 9.—The following marriage licenses were issued by the County Clerk to-day: Charles P.
