Dr. W. F. Egan, superin- endent of the Zoo, Steve Lawrence and five attendants were present at the | death. Nero was killed to relieve his suffering. He was thirty-five y rs old and his weakened condition brought on | severe hemorrhages of the lungs. | It took Nero just five minutes to dle after the chloroform was once applied. He died quietly enough, although he put up a great fight when the attend- k- ants roped him down and placed a muz- c g zle over his jaws. It took all of the strength of the five men to rope and tie him, and even when he was se- curely fast he strained at the ropes un- s | til it seemed as if they must break. Killing a lion by the chloroform route is no easy task. Superintendent Lawrence handied the job like a vet- & . {eran. He noosed a great rope and * | inally succeeded in placing it over Nero's head. The attendants pulled with vigor and Nero was thrown upon his side. Then the work of placing 8 ropes on his feet was begun. Ome by one they were noosed and tied to the iron bars of the cage. Another noosed rope heid his jaws firmly together. Dr. Egan had made a muzzle to g0 : over the mouth and nostrils. Into this Oc; 3 Ferguson, Mrs. J. | muzsle he placed & sponge soaked with Py aosyidson. | about a guarter of a pound of chloro- form. Nero took one whiff of the sweet-smelling liguid and began to ~ struggle. As the fumes filled his lungs he quieted down.

Armstrong Con- I fronted by Two Men, One of Them Displaying Revolver George R. Armstrong, 2200 Webster street, had an exciting experience with two burglars in his house last Saturday night. He had packed all his housekold | and personal effects on Saturday, ready to be moved yesterday. He left the house at 3:30 o'clock that afterncon and did not return till 8:30 o’clock. | When he opened the front door he be- | came aware of the fact that there was | some one in the house. On opening the door leading from the hallway to the par- lor he was confronted by two men, one of whom jumped behind the door, while | the other drew a revolver and pointing it at the astonished owner gruffly sald, “Get out of here.” Armstrong backed out, closing the door after him. The burglars, fearing that he would raise an alarm, ran out of the house and made their escape. They had thoroughly ransacked the house, and every bundle and trunk had been opened and their contents scattered over the floors. They had packed up a quantity of jewelry and badges to take away with them, but had left the package in thelr hurried departure. | It was discovered that they had stolen | two women’s gold watches, a revolver and | two small gold pins. Armstrong was un- |able to give an accurate description of | the two men, but he sald one of them looked like an “opium fiend” and was | about five feet eight inches tall. The po- lice were notified and Detectives Whit- aker and Bell were detailed on the case, but they were unable to obtain any clew to the burglars. Entrance had been ef- fected by opening the front door with a skeleton key. PERSONAL. J. Klein, a merchant of Lompoge, is at the Lick. James H. Biddle, a merchant of San Jose, is at the Grand. C. W.

OPPOSES GRANT WANTS PLANS OF FRANCHISE| OF NEW ROAD Municipal Ownership League Objects to Privilege - for a Car Line in Parkside WILL FIX GAS RATES Supervisors Set a Time for Investigating Operations of the Light Companies —_— The Municipal Ownership League filed a protest yesterday against the grant of any franchise to the Parkside Realty Company for a street railroad on Six- teenth avenue and T street by the Board of Supervisors. The protest says: The league submits that it should be the policy of your b to grant no further franchises whatever. The streets of the city beiong to the peopie of the city and should not be turned over to any individual or cor- poration for private profit. \The charter de- clares it to be the purpose and intention of the city to acquire all of its pubife utllities. The Geary street railway fs about to constructed, and, &s has been suggested by Supervisor ‘McGushin, it can be extended aoross the park and through the very ter- ritory covered by the application of the Park- side Realty Company; thus rendering it aito- gethor unnecessary to grant a franchise to anybody. It a street railroad is needed thers let the eity comstruct it and operate it for the benefit of the people. This projected enterprise of the Parksids Realty Company {s nothing but a peal e speculation, legitimate enough, but designed solely for private profit, and it {s not the ofty’s business to aid in any such scheme. Fourteen Supervisors signified their in- tention to take the automobile trip this morning with & View to inspecting the proposed route of the road for which the company desires a franchise, the petition being in the hands of the Utilities Com- mittee. City Engineer Woodward stated that sewer work aggregating $310,698 had been commenced under the bond issue and other sewers are planned to cost $1,882,7%5, or a total of $1,749,418. The street bond proceeds of $243,000 have all been expended, and of the $324,000 sold last week street work has been projected to cost $180,000. The board accepted the bid of the Hi- bernian Bank for street bonds to the face value of $324,000, which are go be dellv- ered to the bank on or before March 8. The board adopted a resolution fixing Monday, February 12, as the date for holding the annual investigation for the fixing of rates to be charged for gas, electricity, heat and power. The various compantes engaged In the business were directed to furnish detalled statements of their operations. The communication from City Electri- clan Hewltt containing a list of twenty- nine companies supplying light, heat or power to the inhabitants of this city was referred to the Light Committee. The Mayor's recommendation that an- other assistant warrant and bond clerk be appointed in the District Attorney’s office was referred to the Finance Com- mittee, which at once recommended an ordinance creating the position at a sal- ary of $175 per month. This was passed to print by the board.

The Mayor made no announce- ment as to his selection of a successor to Secretary Keane, who is now clerk of the’Supervisors, but will do 50 in a few days. Auditor Horton yesterday appointed Willlam Wells a deputy in his office vice John J. Lelbert, who ‘has been granted a sixty days' leave of absence. Horton also appointed his stepdaugh- ter, Miss Lucile Buckingham, as ste- nographer vice Mrs. E. W. Ewald, who has resigned. The Board of Supervisors yesterday accepted the resignations of . 43 Hughes and Daniel Curran as assist- ant clerks and appointed L. F. Cull and Willlam Haggarty in their places. The beard passed to print an amended or dinance appointing George B. Keane as chiet clerk and his staff of assistants, with the two changes noted. { Thomas E. Atkinson expects to b appointed soon as special expert of the board in the examination of the city's books and accounts under an appro- priation of $8000 to be expended undér the supervision of the Finance Com- mittee. | The Mayor has granted Police Com- missioner Reagan & sixty days' leave of absence.

Submit Specifications for Geary Street System A SCHOOL TO BE BUILT Works Commisston Will Con- tract for $81,000 Struc- ture to Be Called “Monroe” The Board of Bupervisors yesterday adopted a resolution having for its object the hastening of the submission by the City Engineer of the long-delayed plans for the proposed municipal Geary street road. The resolution follows: “Whereas, This board is advised that the City Engineer has dispensed with the services of his special consulting engineer, J. H, C. Stut, in the matter of the construction of the Geary- street rallway; and whereas, The differences between these engineers will no longer delay the completion of the proposed alteration of the plans and specifications for the construction of said railway: Resolved, That the City Engineer be, and he is. hereby Tequested to submit without delay and at the earllest possible time his completed plans for the construction of sald railway, in order that this board may proceed with the construction thereof. A communication from E. P. E. Troy call- ing attention to the report of Expert W. B. Parsons that the Geary street road carried 3,970,000 passengers during 1905, whereas the company had pald its agreed percentage to the city on a basis of only 8,121,121 passengers, was referred to the Finance Committee. Troy contends that $896¢ should have been paid to the city, instead of $7841 82. The board adopted a resolution author- izing the Board of Public Works to enter into a contract for the erection of a twelve-room brick buflding on the east- erly corner of London street and China avenue, ito be known as the Monroe School, at a cost of $81,00. The plans for the structure were flled by the City Arch- itect, The petition of Willlam Hagan that he be given the contract to bury the indigent dead for $350 per month was referred to the Health Committee. Ed A. Kelly has the contract now at $450 per month. The board ordered the construction of sewers under the bond issue in San Jose, Onondaga and Ocean avenues, to cost $20,000. The board fully accepted designated blocks on Lyon, Mission, Bay, Stockton, Clementina, Seventeenth and Utah streets, and ordered grades changed on Belvedere, Alma, Fifth, Bixth and Orizaba avenues and Bright, Head, Victoria, Grattan, Arch,’ Vernon, Worcester, Twenty-third, Eureka, Union and Vallejo streets. The width of sidewalks on Eighth street, between Market and Division, was fixed at fifteen feet. The petition of the Fire Commission that provision be made for the purchase of 150 horses for the Fire Department was referred to the Finance Committes.
