Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company paid back to shippers the sum of $1,19 This fact was devel- oped the examination of W. J Healey, (m;,n auditor for the Santa Fe, before the Attorney General, who is taking depositions in the case he has instituted to ascertain whether or not the SBanta Fe is violating the anti- trust law of Kansas. Healey said that this amount constituted the total of j overcharges made for the year. It is ecry of the State that these over- are in reality rebates, and that nination of the vouchers will | ehbow that the greater portion of the payments have been made to the andard Oil Company and other con- cerns. Healey w as asked to have the nec- | emsary records and vouchers in court this afternoom, but on the advice of {R. Duniap, general attorney of the {road, refused to permit the examina- { tion of these papers. A conference of ithe Santa Fe officials was held later to discuss this point, but a decision was not reached Healey was also examined concerning The male chorus | his knowledge of the workings of the‘ Transcontinental Freight Bureau, the | Trans-Missouri Freight Bureau and ! the Western Trunk Line Committee, the three organizations that are al- leged to settle the questions of freight ' | rates in the Western counwry. Healey denied that he knew anything voncern- ing these organizations, or that he knew who were their officials. J. Black, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe, explained the system of interchangeable tickets and the re- bates which go with tnem. A patron pays $60 a ticket calling for 2000 miles |of transportation. If the patron uses {all the trarsportation within a given time he gets a rebate of $10. Black will be examined again. ————— Creditors File Claims. {ridge Company yesterday filed their . ‘cmlnls against the insolvents. The | aggregate of the claims filed to date is $54,540 16.

The members of the Ladies’ Sea- man’s Friend Society have completed arrangements for an entertainment to be given at the Alhambra Theater next Saturday evening for the benefit of the Sailors’ Home in this city. This is the first entertainment given by the society in the last twenty-nine years. Professor Graeber's Mandolin Club will render the music for the occasion. The club consists of one hundred mem- bers and is one of the finest in the city. Mrs. Miss Jean B. Henry, the well known teacher of physical culture, is to give one of her interesting demonstrations. The Sailors’ Home is situated on the corner_of Main and Harrison streets, and ever since its dedication, July, 1877, it has received under its roof sailors of every name and nation. This home, once the property of the| Federal Government, is now quished to the city and countv of San Francisco to be used by the city solely for the purpose of a sailors’ home. The Ladies’ Seaman’'s Friend So- \-;M) has received it by lease from the city, sailors second to none in the world, The chapel is open to ministers of every demomination for services on Sunday. The sick or unfortunate are kindly cared for. The table is pro- vided with an abundance of good, well- cooked food. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. The present building is a monument to the enterprise and devotion of the ladies of this society. Twenty-nine years ago it was a wreck. By their individual efforts they raised $40,000 and made it not only habitable but homelike and comfortable. The following programme will be ren- dered at the entertainment: ture, Professor Charles F. Graeber's Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club, Miss Mabel accompanist: readings, selections, Mabel Richardson Kronmiller: seiections, Pro- fessor Graeber’'s Mandolin Club; contralto solo, Mrs Charles Stewart; recitation, Miss Talma letta Henry: “Mooniight,’ Professor Grae- ber's Mandolin_ Club; fancy club swinging, Miss Jean B.

CIRCUS PERFORMER BEARS MARKS OF LION'S TEETH George Bellford, Acrobat, Head of Famous Family of Trapeze Art- ists, Has Narrow Escape. George Bellford, one of the Bellfords,” acrobets, trapeze crossbar performers, whose daring feats astonish thousands of people nightly at the Norris & Rowe show at the Mechanics' Pavilion, considers himself a lucky man. About four weeks ago Bellford was terribly man- gled by Nero, the show's mammoth lion. Although many of the tendons and muscles of Bellford's right leg were injured the plucky actor per- forms his miraculous stunts as though he were in the best of condition. Bellford, who is a splendid speci- men of physical perfection, was wont to enter the cub bear cage each night “seven and after his turn on the trapeze and romp with the voung bruins. One night when in Albany, N. Y., he thought to enter the bear cage by the little rear door, next to that of Nero, the lion. Belliford in some unaccount- able manner slid back the door of Nero's cage, mistaking it for the cubs’ home. Unmindful of his danger, the acrobat was in an instant in the lion’s den. With a bound Nero was upon him, his huge teeth tearing into the unfortunate man's shoulder and leg. Several animal tenfiers tried to scare the big beast by firing blank cart- ridges at him, but without avail. Dallford shouted to fellow circus men, “For God’s sake, shoot him.” Manager Rowe ran up and, drawing his revolver, rained the whole six | slugs into the woolly hide. While the lion was distracted Bellford was dragged from the cage, more dead than alive. Under the doctor's care he recovered rapidly. —_—————————— LOW RATES TO DENVER.

The Justices have denied other Bunkers writs without comment and his next |appeal will probably be in the shape of a petition for a writ of review. —_—————————— | i | Try the United States Laundry. 1004 | Market street.

The meet- ing-house was wrecked. While the Granger Mutual Improve- ment Association was in session the lights went out. A boy went into the cellar with a lamp to see what was wrong and the explosion followed. Miss Nellie Mackay, the chureh organist, who was standing directly over the gas tank, received the full force of the explesion and was instantly killed. A panic ensued among the audience and in their efforts to escape from the wrecked building many who had not been injured by the force of the ex- NT plosion were trampled upon. Among { the injured are the following: Bunice McRae, daughter of Bishop McRae, seriously; Mabel Mackay, leg broken: Roy Peterson, arm broken: W. J. Horne, president of the Young Men's Mutual Tmprovement Assoctationy seri- | | ously: Anna Horne, daughter of W. J. Horne, seriously: Irene Solomon, seri- ously; Vivian Wallace, seriously. S S S SR Aged Woman Fatally Burned. Miss Ellen Fay, an aged lady who conducts a rooming-house at 5511 Howard street, was fatally burned last night by the explosion of a kero- sene lamp. The unfortunate woman was removed to the Central Emerg- ency Hospital, where Dr. Stevens dressed her wounds. She is not ex- pected to live. No one knows just how the accident happened and the woman unable to tell, being un- conscious. About 10 o’clock Hugh ' Delany, an employe in the Assessor's| office, heard the explosion and ran| from his flat above down to Miss| Fay's flat. The woman was lying on | the fioor of the kitchen, screaming ' with pain from the burning oil. Her | clothes were a mass of flames. ~De- | lany extinguished the flames. The in- jured woman was hurried to the Cen-\ tral Emergency Hospital. Dr. Stev-! ens believes that she will die.

These are now in process of dacorl- | unn and furnishing, and when com- pleted will represent an imteresting pll““ of the social life of San Fran- cisco. ‘The building is divided into two tene- | | ments, each containing seven rooms, As a neighbor, the Sequoians will ! have the French Club, of which many | interesting things are told. And though | ' the clubs will undoubtedly be famous ' get unduly | chummy, as their rooms are separated /by an unyielding partition. And this ! is said to be “deadened.” Whether this | precaution was taken out of regard for | ' the Sequoia Club or the French Club is This brave venture of ‘‘going house- ! keeping”—for such it really is, since there'll be all sorts of home comforts to be had for the wishing—augurs well for | the club’'s substantiality. “The new rooms will be far enocusgh down town for the men to drop in for a Smoke or a bit of lunch, at the same time to enjoy a little tete-a-tete with | the ladies. The Sequoia Club in its new quarters. will become a striking feature of West- ern social life, since it is the only club in the Far West in which men and wo- men are members of equal standing. And it’s good fun, this new Bohemian club of men and women, and threatens to explode many of the old traditions about Wbmen not being clubable—in the gense that men are clubable. Within its hospitable doors will be welcomed many famous travelers that happen along this way, and the spirit of comradery promises to make the club a pleasant place to tarry a while. Charles Sedgwick Alken, president of the club; Miss Ednah Robinson, Mrs. Elizabeth Gerberding, Mrs. B. F. Nor- ris, Willlam Greer Harrison and others on the “permanent hcme committee” have labored earnestly to find an at- tractive headquarters, examining every new building in the desirable district for many months. And thus is their choice of the Lloyd building the result {of deliberation and discrimination, auguring well for the future happiness and,prosperity of this wholly delightful clu —_—e——————— Union Denies Charges.
