CRAWFORD. BY JAMES C. Inspired by penitence and delirium Murphy, biackemith, tenderly embraced and begged forgiveness from a richly ; gowned efigy. of a woman that stood in front of. Max Stockmitz's dry goods s.ore on* Fourth street, between Howard and Folsom. Squeezing the figure until its steel-wire frame creaked, and coplously shedding tears upon its left shoulder, he hiccoughed Liza, f'rgimme an' (hic) I'll nev'r | drink 'nozzer (hic) drop ‘slong S'live.” | Thus he was pouring out his repentance | when Patrolman J. A. Ryan was sum- moned and requested to remove him. “Leggo that dummy,”. commanded the officer, endeavoring. to enforce the ghan- | date, but Mr. Murphy declined to relin- { quish his cluteh ! *Haven't seen (hic) tremens, James "Liza £r four (hic) he sobbed, ‘''an I'll never (hio) | Kiss me, 'Liza.” murinured a sympathetic matron among the. rapidly enlarging group of shpectators: “‘he thinks she's his wite Aln't you ashanfpd of yourself, offi- T TR, - inquired a facetfous teamster who had stopped his horses to watch the pro- ceeding. “‘for tryin’ to break up a family in that manner? Turning to deliver a withering retort, the poiiceman released his grip of Mr. Murphy with such abruptness as to upset both that gentleman and his inanimate captive, and together thew crashed to the sidewalk. Their separation was effected and the man arrested while he was en- deavoring to Wft the dummy and:solicit- | ously asking if it were injured. | “Ye may (hic) take me.” he magnani- | i cer, mously informed the officer.’ “but I won't ye take (hic) 'Ifza.’ Before Police Judge Fritz the repen- tance of Mr. Murphy was undiminished, but his inebriety had largely evaporated It was the first time he bad stayed away | all night.from his better half since he married her, he explained, and if re- leased he would never. again offend in that way. “I'll see tbat he don't, Judge,” said a buxom voung woman on the front bengh. | " “It wou are 'Liza,” was'the response, ‘take him, home with vou and make him wear off,” She took him (hic) le | _ Patrolmen/*“Charlie” Brown and “Jack” Evett were’on night duty In the vicinity | of Portsmouth 'square, and at 2 o'clock | a. m. their ears were assafled by a reli- | gious exhorfation delivered in high fal- setto. Hastening into the park they saw one man standing in front of the Steven- son monument and another man standing atop of it. “Halt in your sinful path,” squeaked the man above at the man below, “before it is too late. If you don’t halt right now, my poor brother, some day youwll wish you had.” While one officer.coliared the audience the other scaled the monument and ar- rested the orator, who was palpably in- | toxicated. e was booked as R. B. Mc- Burney, vagrant, and Judge Mogan gave him twelve months, The other defendant, “Jake” Magill, was given half a year., - . b Having had his beard and mustache removed, John A. Scharatz, black- smith, of 2621 Harrison street, be- thought him that it would be funny if he were to frighten his friend, George Hobson, saloon-keeper, at Twenty-first and Alabama streets, so he put the idea into execution by visiting the wet goods store and therein brandishing a revolver in a rude and threatening manner. So thoroughly was Mr. Hob- son deceived by Mr. Scharatz’s hirsul- tal deprivation that he ran In alarm and teld ‘his trouble to a policeman, who forthwith returned with him and arrested (Mr. Scharatz for peace dis- turbance and cartying a concealed weapon. It was Mr. Hobson’s cholce that Mr. Scharatz should be dismissed, so Judge Cabanisé, after delivering a homily on the foolishness of practical joking, so ordered. R Y < “I wish you'd let me out on $10 bail,” sald Thomas Fry, accused of working |a malmed horse last Saturday on the San Bruno road, “for' that’s all the money T've got and my chickens and my dogs and my horses and my chil- | dren are at home with nobody to take care of them.” “Are you. married?’ inquired Judge Conlan. | “Yes, sir, “and my wife was arrested | for dfunkenness last night and is now |in a cell upstairs.” | His application for bail was granted. S St Patrolman Nelson was pressing home a charge of vagrancy against Arthur Brown, arrested on the Barbary Coast, when the tattered defendant interrupt- |ed him by exclaiming, in tone of dis- | gust: |~ “Say, when you have clinched the | nail why dom’t you stop hammering?” | The hammering ceased and Judge Fritz gave Mr. Brown thirty days. .« e = “Al's deef en dum’ w'en et kims t' ’sposin’ de laidy’s name,” gallantly de- clared Alvin ‘Spencer - (ebon-hued) when he was requested to disclose the identity of the negress who had slashed a combination of uxorious | | | jecting Mrs. IS HIS WIFE —_i- - | | — | his clothing with a razor until it hung upon him in streamers. | “But,” quoth Judge Conlan, “she evi- | dently is more deserving of punishment | than vou are, for the condition of your | with in- apparel shows that she cut tent to do bodily injury.” “Dat may be, en ag'in dat may not be,” Mr. Spencer- argued. “Wat de laidy’s intentions wuz ain’'t fo' me t, ‘cide.

Ah | doan want t' git no laidy inteh trouble, ‘specially ez de razzah dldn't tetch de | skin, fo’ Ah knows w'at it am t' be in | trouble mahself.” “Well, you're guilty of vagrancy, Mr. Spencer,” sald the Judge, “and to-mor- row you'll begin serving a term of im- prisonment sufficiently long to enable | you to repair your damages.” Patrolmen Evett and Brown arrested Mr. Spencer on Kearny street late Sat- | urday night just after he had emerged | from conflict with the razor-wielder, | and all their efforts to find her proved futile. Ten male adults of Portuguese na- tivity were before Judge Mogan on a | charge of peace disturbance sworn to by Police Sergeant Ferral and posse, | who arrested the group as they were holding 'wassail last Saturday night in | the boarding-house at East and Ore- | gon streets, managed by Mrs. Gomez, | whose birthday they were celebrating. | So loud was the vocal noise, aug-| mented by the groaning of an accor- | dion and the squeaking of a violin, that mariners far out on the bay were | unable to hear the fog whistles of the | ferry-boats—at least, so the prosecut- ing policemen averred. | Magnanimously refraining from sub- | Gomez to the ordeal of | disclosing the exact anniversary of her natal day the defendants were cele- brating, Judge Mogan dismised them with a severe reprimand. o A MR Judge Fritz gave himself until to- morrow to decide whether the big knife | carried by Hadilu Maliana, a Circassian, carver of wood, was a deadly weapon, | and Judge Mogan dismissed the charge of threatening to kill which was en- | tered against Themarchand Dochada, | also a native of Circassia and a worker | in wood, by Charles Marquis, his em- | ployer. As none of the regular court inter- | preters was converspnt with the C! cassian language, the complaining wit- ness, Mr. Marquis, accommodatingly translated Dochada's defensive Dplea, which was to the effect that he did not intend to kill, and that hereafter and forevermore he will be “one honorable man, also honest.” v Mr. Marquis and the Circassians re- cently came here from Portland, where they had been engaged at the Exposi- tion, and at 1 o’clock Sunday morning Dochada rose in revolt against his em- ployer in their common home, at 2153 | Mason street. Mallana was arrested while visiting his compatriot. in the City Prison, where he indiscreetly dis- played to the desk sergeant a concealed knife that was big enough to serve as a sword. . . . . 8. Okatsu, K. Taune and 8. Mazuk, described as Japanese highbinders by Patrolmen Duffy and Keohane, were wrecking T. Oki's restaurant, 532 Pine street, early Sunday morning, when the aforementioned officers, arrested them. They were booked for vagrancy and peace disturbance and when Judge Mo- gan learned that they had beaten the restaurateur’s wife he ordered that they be accused also of battery, and then remanded them for further hear- ing next Friday. One of the defendants, Okatsu, is a glant-framed fellow who has spent all except three of the last eighteen months in prison. « s . “I'm willing to plead gullty of petty larceny if you're willing to let it go at that,” sald John Gibbons, chronic thief, to Judge Mogan, “for I'd rather do that than take chance of being sent to the pen.” His proffer was declined and the hearing of the burglary charge con- tinued till to-morrow. At noon last ‘Wednesday he stole an elght-day clock and six empty demijohns from 1425 Vermont street and Patrplmen Burke and Smith effected his oapture. « s ey Judge Cabaniss dismissed the charge | of bigamy on which Winfield Scott | Amy, “The King of Valdez,” stodd ac- | cused by Mrs. Ella Amy, who alleged that in 1873 he married her and in 1889, | without having undergone the formal- ity ofy being divorced, led to the nltar} one Carrife Sperry at Stockton. The statute of limitations was pleaded by the defense and there was nothing else for the Judge to do than order dismis- sal of the complaint. .

Representatives of the Sutter Street Im- provement Club and a special committee of citizens who are opposed to the over- head system and desire the present road | to be converted into an underground elec- tric system advanced numerous argu- | ments in support of their plea. | Patrick Calhoun of the United Railroads sald his investigations led him to believe that the underground system was not satisfactory, particularly in Paris. Cal- houn said that the only argument urged against the overhead system is that it is unsightly, and this objection would be removed as far as possible by the use of ornamental poles and placing the lamps thereon, to be kept lighted at the ex- pense of the United Railroads. Frank J. Sullivan, president of the Sut- | ter Street Improvement Club, said his opinion after investigations and consulta- tion. with engineers is that the overhead trolley systems are things of the past. SUPERVISORS MUST BEWARE. “Any Supervisor who would vote to place an overhead electric system on Market street,” said -Sullivan, could never show his face again to an outraged people. Railroads cannot be standardized, without Market street. We would rather have a cable road than have the Sutter street road changed into an. overhead system.” Charles 8. Wheeler said in his opinion the board has no power to grant the privilege for an overhead system, and the Supervisors should not pass upon the question on the ex-parte statements of the railroad officials, who are likely to be biased. Wheeler held that the fran- chise for an overhead electric system must be offered for sale to the highest bidder, and the charter provision rel ;; to the use of ten blocks on any street any raiiroad company would give the franchise a value on Ninth, T and Sutter streets and Pacific avéflue/ Wheel- er sald it was understood that t| ted Rallroads had the right to feconstrtict the system as a cable road, but the privilege to change the system into an electric system required new actlion on the part of the Supervisors. Calhoun at this point stated that It was the hope of the United Rallroads to have an overhead electric system on Market street and in the entire city. J. D. Phelan sald that thé overhead system is offensive, and in view of the declaration of Professor Zuebelin that a subway on Market street is one of the immediate needs of the future the over- head system is out of the question. He poration that it desired the overhead sys- tem on Market street shéuld determine the policy of the board not to grant the privilege on Sutter street, since the Su- pervisors are committed against the main- tenance cf poles in certain districts. SYSTEM NOT FEASIBLE. Calhoun stated that the construction of the system in part as an overhead sys- tem and in part as underground would not be feasible owing to the delay neces- sitated by the transfer from one eystem to another. W. H. Hazell held that this argument would not apply, as the transfer would be made at Central avenue, where it is already in vogue. Tirey L. Ford, attorney for the United Raflroads, held that the Supervisors have the power to grant the privilege to change the motive power of a street rail- way system, despite Wheeler’s contention that they have not, and cited cases in support of his claim. Ford said the United Rallroads desired to construct an up-to-date overhead system, with the best service, 80 as to prevent the tide of travel to the citles across the bay, and also to light the streets along the line of the system. The committee-ended the discussion by recommending a resolution, which was adopted by the Board of Supervisors at its afternoon session, requesting the City Attorney for his opinion as to whether the board has the power to grant the petition to change the motive power of the system described without granting & franchise according to the charter.

What's that odd ‘thing toat woman has up to her eyes? She stares through it until you'd almost think we were on exhibition, instead of them.” “It was a wise thing to put this wire netting .up to shut them off from us,” sald the White Leghorn rooster, standing proudly at his full height and surveying his glistening raiment. “I'd hate to have:that rabble get fa- millar with me. The way they Jostle about one's coat- would be a sorry mess before long. I don't see anything partic- would just as soon I were back on my farm at Fruitvale. ‘ There goes something pretty fine, though. She steps as proudly as one of those Black Pole beauties with the snowball crests. That raven hair and red-plumed hat make her something for even us to. admire; but there are enough attractions here fo hold one,” and he tipped a wink over toward the pretty Andalusian with the iridescent bodice that made her flutter with excitement and forget all about 'the staring woman with the lorgnette. ‘Goodness, I'm glad I'm a chicken when I see things like that,’” exclaimed the pert little Bantam lady as a palé-facea youth with chrysanthemum hair falling over his ears and the end of his cane stuck In his mouth waddled In. “Or course he’s part of the show, but I'd hate to have him digging worms for me.” “Never mind,” said the ponderous Brah- ma rooster, trying to assume the Beau Brummel grace of the polished Leghorn, and falling over one foot in the effort, “you'll never need for worms as long as I'm in the barn.” REJECTS BRAHMA’S ADVANCES. The Bantam lady turned a contemptu- ous look up at the unfortunate heavy- weight's clumsy bulk, and deighing no reply resumed her gazing at the people thronging by. A monster Peking duck that looked like a sack of flour with a shoemaker’s. last hung on one. corner set up a series of squawks that rose high above the clamor of poultry gossip when he saw a man g0 by swith a’ monocle. 8o uncontrollable was his mirth that the Pekingese fell over backward with a torrentéof squawks that would have brought disgrace to feathered soclety had not a gorgeous Muscovy drake nipped him by the neck and shaken him until his decorum was restored. “Can’t you behave yourself when you come to the circus?’ demanded the Mus- covy whe he finally let go of the limp Pekinges p The rain that fell during the afternoon somewhat restricted the attendance at the poultry show, though many admirers of fine fowls passed through the gate and enjoyed the exhibit.

The ‘bur‘hr threatened to kill her if she | made a noise, but departed with a com- | panion without earrying out his thr or taking any plunder. Mrs. Schlegel was in bed when she heard the noise of some one fumbling for the knob of her bedroom doer. She inquired, “Who is there?” There answer and she jumped out of bed fi opened the door. She saw a man standing in the hallway who sald: }(eep quiet now, or I will kill you.” | Nothing daunted Mrs. Schlegel walked toward him and he ran downstalrs call- ing out to another man, who was in the ‘parfor to come on. They left the house together. Mrs. Schlegel notified the police. De- ‘tectlves Gorham and Q'Shea were .de- tailed on the case. They discovered that entrance had been effected by forcing open the basement door with a jimmy. The burglars left a key be- hind, which is now in the possession of the property clerk at the Hall of J tice: Mrs. Schlegel made an examina- tion of her possessions and sald she could find nothing missing.
