12 WILL GUARD THE EIGHT. Chief Crowley's Men at the Meeting of the Supervi sors To- Day. SUMMONS WILL BE SERVED. Great Public Interest Shown In the Impending Proceedings for Impeachment. These are 'not halcyon days for Super visors who betray \ the confidence reposed in them by their electors. These are days in truth when the path of the corporation collared Supervisor is strewn with stumb ling-blocks in the shape of honest newspa pers, public sentiment, civic federations, impeachment suits and the like. Ah, it was not always so. Once upon a time a Supervisor counted his corporation gains peace and contentment (such was the in duration of his conscience) and had noth ing to fear from an occasional burst of in dignation on the part of the people; once upon a time— but that is an old story. The new story is more interesting. There is a suit for impeachment in it, and con spiracy will be charged against the Solid \ Eight. Conspiracy, malfeasance in office and similar unpleasant things, all in legal and regular form, too — these are the things that rob the emoluments of the Solid Eight of half their sparkle and joy. To-day the real interesting part of the story will begin— interesting to the public, that is, and also full of interest for the Solid Eight. As they take their seats in the chamber of municipal legislation a summons will be handed to each one of them. This summons will demand their presence in the Superior Court to show cause why they should not be deprived of their honorable office because they have betrayed its trust. Not all of the Supervisors will be sum moned. Only eight of them, the Solid Eight, these eight: Joseph King, First Ward. Peter A. Scully, Second Ward. Charles E. Benjamin, Third Ward. Alphonse Hirsch, Fourth Ward. ' Edward C. Hughes, Sixth Ward. Chris Dunker. Seventh Ward. Alfred W. Morgenstern, Ninth Ward. Edward E. Wagner, Twelfth Ward. None of the other Supervisors will be served with summons. The reason for the distinction is that only these eight are charged with conspiracy and malfeasance. Only these eight men voted to perpetuate the "street-paving monopoly and voted to override the State law. which says dis tinctly and emphatically that all street railway franchises shall be sold at public auction to the highest bidder. The suit is brought by K. M. Smith, a well-known attorney, who has been largely identified with the work and the legal bat tles of improvement clubs. The complaint charges the Solid Eight with malfeasance in office in willfully and knowingly violating their official duties; with willfully and unlawfully conspiring together against the public interests and in behalf of the interests of the Market-street Railway Company. It cites the facts of that meeting of the board on the afternoon of July 8, which have been told in The Call, when the Solid Eight "caused to be advertised the Market-street Railway Company's applica tion for a franchise with conditions and restrictions in its own favor, drafted and framed by order of the said Market-street Railway Company, with the object and in tention'of defeating the purpose of the law and preventing any competition or bid ding whatever against it for the said fran chise, expressly in the interest of the Market-street Railway Company and against the public welfare and interest of the people and taxpayers of the City and County of San Francisco." And because of this complaint, based as it is upon facts exposed by The Call, a great deal of public "interest centers in the meeting of the board to-day, and extra precautions have been taken by the Solid Eight. It is understood that they have requested a squad of police double the strength of that which guarded them trom the violence of their own imaginations last Monday afternoon. A big, blue-coated policeman will stand behind all of the eight Supervisors, and there will besides be a cordon of stalwart officers drawn tautly all around the three sides of the room and only a few feet back of the legis lative officials. But all the policemen that Chief Crowley can spare for the occasion, not even the City's entire force of new uniforms, can keep out what the Solid Eight have reason to fear most— eight summonses for the eight Supervisors to come into the Su perior Court and be tried for malfeasance and conspiracy. • The thing most talked of in the City yes terday in all quarters was this approach ing trial for impeachment, ana it is evident that the public interest is at a high pitch. There will doubtless be a crowded house at the meeting of the Supervisors this afternoon, and if the police are too numer ous many of those who might otherwise be enabled to squeeze into the spectators' space, now allotted to the policemen, will have good reason to grumble at the nu merical strength of the guarding army. MARY BELL'S DELUSION. A Sick Woman .Wanders Away From Home and Believes She Was Driven Out. Mary Bell, who lived at 172 Minna street told a woful story to Chief Crowley Friday afternoon, but the Chief took her state ment with some doubts and sent her to the City and County Hospital, where she still remains. She said she had been turned out of home by her uncle, A. H. Anderson, but claimed that he was no relative of hers. "He promised to marry me after we had lived together as husband and wife," she said, "but now he turns me out on the street, sick as I am." * She was suffering from a sore leg, which had brought on nervous complica tions which eventually affected her reason. Anderson with several friends went in search of her yesterday and they found her in ward Gof the City Hospital. He told Chief Crowley that "he had ; been E. J. Baldwin's traveling agent for many years, md on his last vfsit to St. Louis about Jighteen months ago he brought Mrs. Bell and her son to California. Sickness aad deranged her mind and she told inco aerent stories of fancied wrongs wherever ihe went. CAPTURED A BUEGLAB. exciting; Experience of a Rancher on the Mission Road.

The Gambols of a Flock of Eiterary Dreamers on Miss Knapp's Farm Near Oakland. Yesterday a flock of gentle poets gam boled in the shade of the trees on Miss Knapp's little . farm near Oakland. They talked rhyme and sentiment, ate fruit and cream, sipped coffee and sighed. The hostess was Miss Knapn herself, and her guests were Ina D. Coolbrith, Charles War ren Stoddard, Edna Snell Poulson, Wil liam Greer Harrison, Mrs. Keeler, Mrs. Schermcrhjm, Professor Markham, Art ist Kahlerand Mr. Keeler. They sought' to define poetry and trace its influence on human life. On many lit tle incidental questions they did not agree, but they all subscribed to the cardinal proposition that poetry was the supreme influence for good in human life. It was very well for the peace of the de lightful covey of songsters that they so de cided, because William Greer Harrison presided and any other decision would have been reversed.

The day was good to the poets ; the sunshine genial, the tem perature of the atmosphere delightful and the views of land and sea and sky en chanting. , They all came back to earth again on the 5 o'clock train from Oakland, wondering if at some time all the poets in the world would hold a reunion in California — the land of poetry and sunshine, y ', ''a] FRENCH CAPITAL COMING Dr. Boysen's Mine Being Sold to a Wealthy Parisian Syndicate. He Leaves for Paris Soon— Other Important Sales Will Proba bly Be Made. Some two or three months ago the Baron de Choisy and E. de Bourgade, editor of the Matin, one of the leading dailies of Paris, were out here in the . interest . of an immensely wealthy Parisian syndicate, looking for chances to invest in mines. With them came from Colorado Douglas L. V. Browne, a mining engineer, as ex pert. • looked at a number of large properties on the northern lode and : went away with options on a ' number of large mines. Some of these, were said to be the Allison Ranch and others about Grass Val ley, the Kennedy ■ and Dr. Boysen's Pio neer mine at Plymouth. > Dr. Boyson was busy yesterday at . the Palace Hotei packing up for a trip to Eu rope. ;'* ' • - . He was asked if this had anything to do with the mining deals. Although averse to making any ; definite statement, he ac knowledged that the trip was partly on business connected with the sale of part of his .Pioneer . mine at Plymouth to the French syndicate. As to the Kennedy mine, in which he is the largest shareholder, he said :-' "No op tion is given any parties in the Kennedy, nor has there been any given, nor will one be given unless an offer is accompanied by a cash deposit of considerable size as an evidence of good faith, for the mine is now in as prosperous a condition as it ever has been. We have ij evidence- amounting to {>ositive proof of rich developments on the owest, a new, level." Dr. Boysen expects to be gone about three months, and on his return will open up some ; other properties '. at ' Plymouth. The doctor was one of .those .who in 1886 took hold of the ' Kennedy mine, which was then old and abandoned with nothing in sight. A great deal of money was spent and work done for a period of over four years before the mine was put on a paying basis,, but: the doctor, and his partners stuck to it with *» pluck and - perseverance : until made it one of i the richest pro ducers of gold in -■ the State. Since 1890 it has paid large dividends and has the prom ise of a great future before it. ■ . ■; ' Douglas Browne, who r has been making the examinations of the properties, is now down south looking ' at some mines, but will probably join Dr. Boysen in New York.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1895. GRAND OFFICERS ELECTED. Sons of St. George Meet To * Morrow in Their Sixth 7 Convention. FULL LIST OF ; DELEGATES. A Fight Over the Delegate to the Supreme Lodge— Constitution to Be Amended. Delegates to the sixth convention of the Pacific Coast: Jurisdiction of Sons of St.* George are beginning to arrive and by the time the meeting opens to-morrow it is ex pected that the entire list, numbering fifty, will be on hand. The most important business to be trans-, i acted is the. installation of the officers of I this jurisdiction who have just been J elected for the ensuing term. They are as I follows: Grand president, William George of Grass Valley; grand vice-presi dent, William Clack of ■ San Francisco; grand, secretary, Edward Oliver of San Francisco; grand messenger, Henry E. Jackson of San Francisco ; grand trustee, Rev. J. Sims of Nevada City, Cal. The vote for grand treasurer, for which C. W. Pope and Herbert Jones are candi dates, is thus far a tie, but there is another lodge yet to hear from and as it is believed to be favorable to Jones he is probably elected. In addition to the installation of officers a number of changes in the constitution and by-laws are under consideration 'and will be voted upon at the meeting. Much interest centers in the fight for delegate to the Supreme Lodge, which meets in New York on October 1 next. Edward Oliver, secretary of the | Pacific jurisdiction, has recently been elected su preme president and will preside 'at the meeting. " A "'I William Clack is believed to be the choice of the convention to respresent the coast and the Supreme Lodge. The delegates who will "be present to morrow are as follows: P. E. Wood, .W.

He Proposed Marriage to a Young Lady on Scott Street and Was Rejected. . -Louis Wagner, first mate of the schooner Allena, is determined to end his life. On Saturday night he "proposed marriage to a young lady on Scott street, but she would not accept - him. , He had • proposed on a former occasion, with a' like result, and this time he prepared himself to do some thing to work upon the young lady's sym pathies. Therefore, when she .rejected him, •he pulled a vial out of his pocket and swallowed ' the contents. Then staggered out of the house and tumbled about on the street. . -y* 7 He had also written a letter to the young lady, but he forgot to hand it to her before staggering out of the house.' While being driven to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon"* he pulled the letter out of his pocket. Policeman ' Mangan made a grab for it,- but Wagner managed to tear it in pieces. ' ' ' ' When : he reached 7 the hospital .r; he showed no evidence of having swallowed any poison. He told Dr. Kingswell that he had taken a dose of laudanum, and the doctor, as a matter i of .precaution, admin istered the usual remedy,* which had an in stantaneous effect upon him. It was after ward learned that the vial contained 100 homeopathic pills which were harmless. 7 Yesterday morning Wagner begged; the doctors to discharge him from the hospital as the schooner was to sail in the after noon, and as he appeared to be all right he was allowed to go. Three hours later the patrol wagon took him back to ■ the hos pital. He had brooded over his .rejected suit, and as he had r been fooled by the druggist, on Saturday night he took care not to be fooled again. So he bought some morphine and / swallowed ' it.7 The usual remedy, was again administered, with suc cessful results, and he will have another chance to end his life. 7'* > ■:■'■. 77 i .Wagner :is7 a : strong, healthy looking young fellow, and when asked yesterday why he was so" anxious to shuffle; off this mortal coil: the only reply he would give was that he did not know. tf He refused to give the name of \ the young lady to whom he proposed and expressed his indignation at anything about • her. having been- pub lished. 7 . •.". .. ■'•-•:.: •>.: y:' ;.

BUYING CHINATOWN MEAT White Butchers Who Go to the Mongolian Shops for Their Wares. The New Board of Health to Sup press the Evil Practice— Dr. Hart's Views.. One of the important things that will come before the new Board of Health when it has been formally organized is that of certain white butchers serving to their patrons unwholesome meats from the unclean shops and stalls in Chinatown. It is hardly a widespread > evil in this City, though a growing one,' for, compara tively speaking, there is ' not a great deal of it done. But what there is of it is such a dangerous practice that 'the new Board of Health will commence to investigate the evil at once. At least, this was the sentiment expressed .by the : members of the board yesterday, and it is not expected that their views will . change on so im portant a matter when the time comes for them to act. 7 '■ '7 7 ;■; The best evidence that certain of the white retail butchers do buy meats from Chinatown is to be had by observing the number of retail butchers' wagons. that frequent the northern > end of the Chinese quarter. They are seen to halt at the Mongolian butchers', make their purchases and then drive away. : And that the practice is a shameful one no person that has inspected:. the China town butcher-shops ', or . the Mongolians' lack of cleanliness in the matter of-hand ling his edibles, more particularly the meats, can doubt. ' v it is not a " pleasant subject •to dilate upon at best. : The bare suggestion ;' that meat served to white patrons < is purchased from; the v Chinatown butcher-shops . : is enough to call up a mental picture of those dirty and greasy stores in Fish alley and on Washington t and Clay streets, . above Kearny. A more detailed account of the uncleanliness would spoil one's appetite.' It is an unscrupulous desire for larger profits that drives these retail meat-dealers to Chinatown • for • their wares. y- Here all kinds of meats are sold- at from 2 cents to 4 cents cheaper than they can be had from the wholesaler. ; Even; at ' this i price i the meat is dear, for it . is never in a fit condi tion for human consumption, and ; is usually tainted or infected with bacteria. But there is a larger profit in such meats for the retailers whose wagons go to China town,-, and the t consequences - rest lightly upon their consciences. 7y y-v:?. ::'■■ : ; But the practice '■ is to be stopped. 1 The new Board of j Health will I post j inspectors in Chinatown, and it will jbe their duty to find out the names ' and " addresses of the white dealers who patronize the Mongolian meatshops. Then the dealers will be noti fied to cease their *. purchases f- of this kind of meat, and if the notices are i not obeyed there are ways and means within reach' of the Board of Health to compel obedience. Dr. Henry H. Hart, one of the members of the new Board of Health, said yester day that the evil was one of the first' that the board would consider. j 7777 ;vv> 7.; . y- "It is one lof tho x most detestable prac tices I ever heard of," said Dr. Hart, "and you may be sure that we will lose no time in f doing all ;in our power to effectually suppress it. The new board has not had a meeting yet," but as soon as our formali ties are over this meat question in all its phases will be gone into thoroughly. Cer tainly that is my. inclination in the matter and the duty of the board. Ido not think the public will have cause ;toj complain of our • being ",'- remiss lin such if an important matter." .- M.

Captain Douglass to Guard the De fendant—A Woman Who Lives Near the Church. To a number of persons yesterday was of rare importance in their calendar, be cause it was the day preceding their ap pearance in one of the most famous criminal trials of the century— the trial of Theodore y Durrant : for 7 the murder of Blanche Laraont. It has been determined by the District Attorney to base the prose cution on the Lamont case, as offering the best evidence. But to the central figure in the coming famous trial, yesterday passed like other days, if one may judge from outward in dications and from the way in which Dur rant spent the hours immediately pre ceding his appearance in court*. -He passed them as he has passed, other Sun days since his incarceration, in reading the Bible somewhat, the Sunday-school lesson leaf entirely, in eating, sleeping, walking back and forth in his cell, and in reading the story books that are in his prison library. A. He spoke guardedly of his case when questioned concerning it. He said he was glad that his trial was so near at hand, but he said it much the same way as he might have remarked that it .was a pleas ant day. ; 'y ..7 .y . . 77; 7'y 7 - : "I do riot know just what the line of de fense will be," he said. "I place implicit confidence in my. attorneys and have not even talked with them' about my case since the first statement I made to them at the City Prison. Whether they are sanguine of the outcome I cannot say. They have not told me. Once General Dickinson called to see me here, but he did not talk about my defense then. I have left it all to them. "'.._■ "Am I sanguine of acquittal? Yes; - I am innocent; why should . I not be san guine? Of course, I shall not be convicted. They cannot prove an innocent man guilty. I have not much concern on that score, it is true." • The Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, has not visited Durrant since his confinement ; in the County Jail, but the prisoner says he does not consider this fact as a mark of loss of confidence or • faith on the part of the preacher toward the ex-Sunday-school su perintendent. 7 "I know that he must believe in me and have faith in my innocence," said Durrant. "I feel certain of this when I think of our former relations. I cannot blame him for remaining away. He was placed in a very unpleasant^ situation by this affair, and I believe he acted conscientiously and for the best interests of his church in not coming to see me. - Mr. Gibson is a man of sensa tive disposition and rather nervous tem perament. To the : public he may have acted somewhat strangely at times under the stress of the terrible circumstances, but those who knew him intimately, as I did, were not surprised. I think he did right and was at least conscientious. 777 ;"■'.' "No; Ido not have many.visitors. How much interest is being taken in my defense I cannot say. for Ido not know. I seldom talk about that to those'who come to see me, lam satisfied that my attorneys will do all that is needful to clear me." If Durrant is confident- of acquittal his attorneys, General Dickinson and Eugene Duprey, are equally confident that their client will not be convicted. It is gen erally thought j that both the ' prosecution and the defense have considerable new evidence that is unknown to the public, and which will not be divulged until it makes its appearance in court. However, the defence will rely largely upon the proof of an alibi and the failure of the prosecution to adduce a complete chain of evidence against Durrant. His good character will also be shown, and on this will be based a strong; argument against the possibility of such a man committing terrible deeds. V And if Durrant and his attorneys ' are confident of the success of their case,, the District Attorney and Captain Lees,, who are the chief prosecuting officers, have %no doubt of the soundness of the people's case against the prisoner. There is no real difference of opinion as to the method to be adopted in prosecuting the people's case, and the Police Department; and the District Attorney's department are work ing in complete harmony. Captain Lees does not deny that there is new and important evidence in the La mont case, and that for this reason it-was given precedence in the plan of prosecu tion. One of the new witnesses is said to be a woman who Jives near the church. She saw Durrant -; and Miss Lamont . together on the afternoon of the crime. She is quite certain in: her'indentification. It will be claimed by the State that Durrant met his victim that afternoon by appointment, and that they remained together until the awful deed was accomplished. .Judge Murphy, fearing a crush in the courtroom, has given: orders that only those connected in some way with the trial shall be admitted to the court this morn ing. 'A Captain Douglass has been detailed to guard the prisoner, and Sheriff .7 Whelan has assigned several of his best men to act as a guard around the prisoner throughout the trial. Captain Douglass will -. accom pany Durrant to •". and . from the County Jail' and; will not leave his side during the time the prisoner remains outside his cell. Every precaution -. has been taken against acts of violence of any. kind, and also to prevent any demonstrations during the trial. It will be a difficult task, it is expected, to secure a jury in this county, but neither side will, on that account, ask for a change of venue. ' SB ;^l_^3_gi MOBAL MASONBY. Rev. Dr. Hemphill's Ideas on the Build- ,' : ing of Character. ' Rev. John Hemphill, D.D., pastor of Calvary, Church' spoke 'last evening 'on "Moral 'Masonry'", taking as the basis of his remarks the* quotation from the book of Amos, "Behold the Lord stood upon the wall with a plumbline in his hand.". 7777 y "As the plumbline determines the per fect building," said the speaker,' "so the figure of the,' text denotes that all God's measurements are exactly in accordance with the rules of justice." Each of *j us is building a character which ; shall be tested by God, even as the mason's work '}' on ■•' a building is tested by the master mason."
