OPPOSED TO BUCKLEY
A Combination That May Com
plicate Matters.
' Democrats Divided Against Each Other—
man May Resign as Grand Sachem
of ihs Irrquois Clubs.
The dissension in ibe ranks of the Democratic
patty, mention of which was made in these
columns a few days ago. is festering to rebellion
. ami. If reports be true, there Is work ahead for
- "Boss" Buckley and his adliereuls.
It will be lemembered that it was Intimated
tbat a movement was on foot to organise in op
position to Buckley, and it now develops thai
the prediction was well founded. There aie In the
• ranks of the local Democracy a number of
malcontents, and It is known that they are pre
paring to make themselves fei; In the coming
campaign.
■AYE SOME INFI.ri'M
Tbey are not without influence in the ranks of
the liny, and have It in their power, should they
see fit h cany out their designs, and there is
■every reason to assume that tbey will, to make
it exceed. lively lor their opponents.
Nearly every oue vi the leading spirits lias at
oae time or another occupied political office, and
they declare their intention to "knife" Buckley
whenever and wherever tbey can. All of their
opeiations thus far have been couiliieted with
the utmost regard for secrecy, but they have
succeeded In sowing tne seeds of discontent
wbete they will be most likely to grow aud bear
fiult.
BUCKLEY NOT ASLEEP.
li is not to be supposes*, ol course, that Buck
ley has remained m ignorance of their Intentions,
or hai allowed their acts to pass unnoticed. He
■ is too wily a politician M he caught napping at
an Important slage of the game, and it is safe to
-.say that he will lose no tuck.
In fact mis it was, so it Is claimed, that Im
pelled him to journey to lire remote I .•-:. lie
foresaw lire coming of lire stonii, and quietly
slipieu nut of town io allow it to develop. lien
It bas taken a viell-d-hned lorm he will return to
Sau Fiauciscoand proceed to deal with It in au
heroic manner.
lo the meantime, however, Up- threatened re
volt Is assuming shape, and tbe leaders are one
by one coining to lire frout.
lIIE MALCONTENTS.
Among those who are) said to be the most ac
tively identified with lie- movement are Kichard
Carroll, James Flahei v ami ex--*eti»tors John
Welch, John Sullivan, Tim McCarthy and Jobs
l.itiehrin. li is claimed further thai Carroll is
the prune mover, and ihat tlie others named are
acting under bis linmedtatn instructions.
They admit that they are preparing a plan ot
organization, and that their Intention is to
•- down " Buckley if possible. They weie, how
ever, anxious that the matter should uot be
' made (.übiic.
SPEAKS WITH AI'THOKITV.
.- Ex-Senator John Sullivan Is authority for the
statement that the discontent is widespread and
is glowing day by day. When seen yesteiday
and questioned concerning It lie said:
'• Yes, theie is au etlort being made fight Buck
ley and his methods, There Is a growing belief
-among a certain class ot Democrats that the in
terests ot the party will be endangered It he Is
allowed to remain in coaxial. tie Is thoroughly
corrupt lv his methods and me voters are rapid
ly leallzlug It. Unless he Is checked the people
aie apt 10 take the mailer In tne.r own bauds at
ihe polls, and bury the ticket out of sight.
TDM AUK DICTATORS.
"The men who are lighting him have found out
that Buckles and Barney aie not leaders In any
sense 1. 1 the word, but ate simply dictators. We
have grown tired of it, .aid mean to throw him
down ll we can. YYe have been quietly at work
Im - :..c lime, and are tetriDK in sii.u»e to organ
ize. In reality, we alicadi have the nucleus of
'an 01 gaiuzallou and ale now about lv a position
to posh it.
INDEPENDENT CLUBS.
"You have noticed, 1 suppose, that a great
many independent club-* are being tunned lv va
. rlous parts of the city? Well, a great man*- of
tlrem are ripe lor revolt against Buckley, and ll
-• is possible Ihat sum* .if itiem will be found light-
Inn the 'Boss* at the polls. They may not, of
course, but we think tl.ey will, and I should
judge hat a fear ot that very tiring prompted
Dougherty to denounce thru, as -Piece rubs' In
Ills address to the County Committee, Yes, you
may say that we are Cabling Buckley, ami we In
tend to Keep it up."
IN THE WOODPILE.
It Is urged, on the otber band, that there Is the
proverbial "negro In the woodpile," and that the
vii.ole movement is Instigated by a prominent
politician who is managing a Senatorial cam*
paigu to cause a split lv the Democratic party.
! COLEMAN'S BIJU.IILUI.
It Looks as if the Iroquois Chieftain
Mas Nut ill It.
Max Poppet is again in town. He lias sue
. ceeded in wresting himself from the seductive
influences of the south, and is " at home" ouce
'.more to Ins friends.
lie went, a short lime ago, to San Luis Obispo
with J. v. Coleman to organize an Iroqnois Club,
and altei flitting about the lower counties stole
back to San Francisco.
He states that the prevailing sentiment In the
Fomh, with White out of the race, is in favor ot
loud, and be thinks the latter will secure the
nomination. Coleman, he intimates, is making a
hard tight, and is doing some good Work, but it Is
evident that Mr. Poppei does not think that
James is in it. lie says that it Is all a mistake
abuut Uie Iroquois clubs being unanimous for
Coleman.
•* in*, ie Is," said be, " a great division of opln
'. ion among the members, and you will bad anion,.
' them a gieat many men who favor Mayor Pond's
nomination. It is piobable that if the Iroquois
-' clubs bud the naming ol the Governor they would
choose Coleman, but ihey realize that tbis Is a
large Slate and thai the people are Hie supreme
a; briers. That Is why Pond is favored by many
ol them, as be is regarded as the strongest man.
" It 1* said Ibat C'ulemau may resign i lie office

Street Superintendent Ashworth and
Mayor Pond have promised the Twenty
seventh and Dolores Streets Improvement
Club to use their influence with the
Southern Pacific Kailn.ad Company to have
the Twenty-seventh street embankment re
moved and the abatement of the nuisances
there effected. Owing to the railroad
blockade the sewerage system on Twenty

many cases of malarial sickness prevail in

KEMP'S DENIAL.
The Buys' and Girls' Aid Society Is Not
an Institution.
The officers of the Hoys' and Girls' Aid
Society feel very indignant at that portion
of the report of the Grand Jury, which was
published yesterday, which says in sub
stance: " The school of this institution is
located in this city, and youthful offenders
are brought to the society from other coun
ties to be finally maintained at the expense
of the city tax-payers." In conversation
with a Cam. reporter yesterday James C.
Kemp, visaing agent of the society, said,
referring to the report:
The boys' and Girls' Aid Society Is not strictly
an Inslii'jtlou. Neither is.it a school, nor does it
maintain a school except In an elementary sense.
The fundamental idea of the Aid Society is that
what a homeless child needs is a laiuny home,
where It will be brought up naturally and not
mechanically, as is largely the case In an institu
tion. lo strict consonance with Ibis principle,
the large aegiegnte of children under Ms control
are at this" moment scattered, throughout the
vailous counties of California. Many of ihese
are alien on., ibe district schools and at the
same nine iiiiii* to bi come practical fanners
and fruii-raiseis, or, in the case of girls, being
taught i be necessary art of housekeeping.
It Is now, and has been lor years, my duty to
visit these children and see that ihe contracts
are being honestly fulfilled, ami I know tlrrr, in
stead of helping to increase Ihe burden ul tax
payers, tire Boys' and Girls' Ami Society im
measurably relieves it. Comparatively few chil
dren are received from the country, and ol these
not one In a bundled finds Ins way inrotl.e In
dustrial School, whereas scores and scores of
city boys and guls are being sent Into the coun
try.
Surely the Grand Jury Is not far sighted In
raising this question, for r hey have left it open
for the country to retort that the boot is on trie
oilier leg.
To fully realize what I tie Boys' and Oitls' Aid
Society it doing one should go, as 1 do. Into every
county, leaving tire railway stations and striking
out from live to as high as 100 males where boys
or girls will be found who six or seven ye. us ago
were Srin Frairciscn s.iieet nrabs and Imodiums,
but who, through' lts efforts, have been saved to
society and selves, and Hie cost of doing
this lias been chiefly borne by liable contri
butions.
1 uder Section 1353 of tire P. Code, the city
sends some seven or eight boys and girls to the
Aid Society every month, and in very many
eases these same city boys are sent to homes
upon ranches In tue interior.
As any couuty in ihe State cau do tbe same, it
may bappeu that ouce In awblie a country boy
iuus away from the society and getting arrested
might be sent to the Industrial School, but the
Grand Jury is decidedly wrong 111 asserting Ihat
11 Is a common thing, for lam positive thai for
every such case al least fifty city boys ate saved
from going to the Industrial School. :,' ■
On i tie other baud It sometimes happens that
city boys, on being sent to country homes, com
mit serious depredations, and on Ibis account
most bitterly have 1, as the agent, often been
assailed, In lact there Is scarcely a mouth ihat
such is not the case. Ibe inleudetil Is
every day visited by parents who have boys ihey
cannot control begging l.i in I" send them into
the country to some good lancli; and so to sum
the whole matter up this society bas, since Its
organization, been engaged principally In send
i:.:.- to the people of lire interior i lie homeless,
abandoned, delinquent, orphan, aud worse than
orphan, boys and r-ltls of San Francisco. instead
of keeping llrem here as it cenrlnly would do
were It au nistiiutlou in the ordinary sense of the
word.
In this connection I may say that just because
Uie aid society sticks to Its principle of " Family
Lite" 11 Is debarred from receiving to any appre
ciable extent the State aid granted lor the su p*
port of orphan, hall-orphan and abandoned chil
dren, who are under 14 years ot age, while the
Institutions ate gelling tins grant right along
year alter year for the same children.
NO MOKE HOUSE CARS.
Tlio North U.-acli and Mission System to
l'— a Cable, Ks-id.
The North Beach and Mission street-car
line will boon be substituted by a cable road
at an estimated cost of £2,000,000 for
changes in equipment and construction of
road-bed.
The system extends from East street to
California avenue, at the extreme southerly
end of Folsom street, and the cross-town
route begins at Kay street anil passes along
Mason to Montgomery avenue, to Broad
way, to Dupont, to Pacific, la Kearny, to
Geary, *to Stockton and to Fourth street,
where it terminates at Townsend. The
other department of the road extends from
East and Market streets, up California to
Kearny, where it is to join the line Irom
North Beach. The present line from Mont
gomery street, down California to Battery,
and along First to Folsom, will also be ope
rated.
Michael Skelly, Superintendent of the
road, bas stated that the work of construc
tion will begin early in the fall, and once
begun will be completed as fast as possible.
The equipment will not be surpassed by
any otlier line in the city. The engine
houses are to be located on the corner of
Fourth and Louisa streets aud on the west
side of F'olsoni, between Army street and
California avenue.

Pigeon-Shooters.
The boxing committee of the Golden Gate
Club met last evening and signed Charley Glea
son, the pugilist who gave I'ete McCoy such a
good battle, and Jack Hurley to fight to a finish
on the evening of June "slh tor a $1000 purse.
Hurley will train at Professor Farley's redoubt
and tileason will in all probability select Sau
sailio as his June residence.
Hurley, although not considered as scientific a
fighter as his opponent, is a much wore powerful
man. and judging from Ibe display he made wheu
lie defeated Jack Klordan at San Jose, Gleason
will have to be ln tip-too fettle if he hopes to
bring his game to bay. Farley lias had eleven
wluners out of the thirteen lighters who have
trained at his castle, and Klordan says thai he Is
not the man who will turn the tide ot success.
GEEANEY AND JIUBPnY.
TbeDirectois of the club will oiler very Mat
tering Inducements for a ten-round preliminary
bout between Ed Greaney and Billy Murphy.
The former Is perfectly satisfied to meet Murphy
In any of the clubs, aud should the latter refuse
to box Greaney his friends will look upon the
refusal as an Indication of cowardice on the
Australian's part. Greaney feels confident of
besting the feather-weight cnamolou in ten
rounds, and has slated that he would have
knocked him out at the California Club had they
been called up lor another rouud.
Greaney's friends aie particularly anxious to
have him meet' Murphy again, as he has now
gauged the Australian's style to a nicety, and
dues not, in Ihe least, fear Murphy's kill-me
quick right duke. OI course Murphy will he
ouly too glad to meet Ureaoey if the Gulden
Gates oiler him a fair purse. The Australian is
out for every penny be can lay hands on.

TBI KISE OF IKE GYPSY.
Si rineliin; Alimit I'M. I'nopls Ex
plained by I -li- -r L. IVrikemau*
In next Sunday's issue of Tub Call will ap
pear au Interesting article by Edgar L. Wake
man about gypsies in Ihe United states. Of the
knowledge possessed Ly Ibis talented contribu
tor to iHE Call of this subject, Ibe Hew York
World published the following: ,
Edgar L. Wakeman, whose life airong, and
close study of, the Itumany entitles him to be
ranked as highest aulborlty upon gypsies, fur
nishes from time to time many interesting tacts
In regard to their progress In this country. He
stales that In Chicago lueie Is a clergyman who
was born a gypsy. A member of tbe l"enusyl
vania Legislature has the same origin. In Can
ada theie are irliy eminent professional people
who are of the HolieinlaK race. A prominent
civil engineer on a southern iiulway is a gypsy.
Mr. War, email says tnat In Mew Yoik Chy
aie half a hundred izypsUs, several ot whom are
worth upwrtid of {100.U00 apiece. A lioslou
lawyer In good practice Is a gypsy. A San
Francisco cafe Is owned and conducted by
a gypsy, who is very rich, ln Indianapolis is a
physician in large practice, who passes as an
Englishman. He was born In a Yelliolm gypsy
camp. One of ihe wealthiest residents of Wash
ington is a gypsy. Certain business men In
Richmond and Baltimore have the same origin.
Henry Stanley of St. l'aul onus properly wottb
over 540.000. The Cooper tamily of East Suin
eiville, Boston, aie worth $250,000. I'ltdi
Wliaitou onus 1200,000 Ol real estate la New
York. In Canada the amount of property held
by gypsies is very large. Half a million dollars'
wunli of pioperty In and near Dayton, Ohio, Is
owned by gypsies, In Milwaukee Ellas Brewer
owns CSO.OOO worth of property, "ln short."
says Mi. Wakeman, "1 make 11 as a statement
of fact thai 1 could All columns with names and
addiesses and pioieily estimates of nearly a
thousand gypsies In this country whose combined
wealth would exceed $40,000,000."
Thus is li tbat the gypsies have become an in
teresting race to ihe student of sociology. Their
advancement and prosperity are not supposi
titious. The gypsies are becoming lv reality an
Important Purl of the community. As Mr.
Wakeman bints, some day the busy politician
will be sen i} ing about to catch the gypsy vote.

. The Preventive of a Terrible Disease.
:-,. No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms of
lung disease, involve such a tremendous destruc-
tion of organic tissue as those which fasten upon
the kidneys. Such maladies when they become
chronic— and none are so liable to assume that
phase— completely wreck the system, r To prevent
- this terrible disease, recourse sh ml.l be bad, upon
the first manifestation of trouble,' to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which experience has proved to
be highly effective as a means ol imparting tone
and regularity to the organs of urination, as well as
to the liver, stomach and bowels. Another benefi-
cial result of this medicine, naturally consequent
upon Its diuretic action, Is the elimination from the
blood of Imparities which beget rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, gout, dropsy, and other maladies. By in-
creasing the activity of the kidneys, it augments
the depuraltve efficiency ot these organs, which are
most Important outlets for the escape of such lm-
purLUcs. 23
ACROSS THE BAY.
A Serious Disaster on the Broad
Gauge Averted.
Johnnie Hanson's Death— The Sixteenth-Street
.' Sewer— Francisco Galindo's Estate— A
Division Among r.hj Nationalists.
A serious disaster on the broad-gauge road
was narrowly averted a tew days ago, and tbe
affair has been kept very quiet. From Bay street
to Park In ' Alameda the track on Railroad
avenue is single. A locomotive and one ear
came aronnd the bend from East Oakland, and
the engineer thought that he could reach tbe
double track - before ' the local passenger train
would arrive at the. single track on Its way to
Park street. He went through Alameda at a hy
ing rate. The local was on time, and reached
the single track. At Morton street there Is a
curve, and tbe two trains were going toward each
other, and the engineers were not able to see
the other's train until within a short distance of
each otber. Brakes were applied, and wbeu the
trains stopped they were not ten yards apart.
There were several spectators to the narrow es
cape, and they expected to witness a terrible
collision. The engineer and fireman of the
freight train bave been laid oft by the company.
No blame can be attached to Engineer Pinker*
ton and his fireman of the local train, aa they
were running on lime,

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
It Makes an Unsuccessful Effort
to Reject a Bid. _i .
A special meeting of the Board of Educa
tion was held* last evening to pass upon the
reports of committees respecting the award
of contracts for supplies for the next fiscal
year and the building of anew school-house
at the corner of Church and Hill streets.
The Committee on School-houses and Sites
reported in favor of rejecting the lowest bid
for this work, that of F. A. Williams, for
$26,975, on the ground that it was excessive.
This was $3000 less than the highest bid.
Several of the Directors stated that it was a
low bid, in view of the great amount of
work required. .
After a long discussion the adoption of
the report was rejected by a tie vote. More
discussion was had and tbe . question re
opened, and two attempts to settle the mat
ter, once by the adoption of the report and
agaiu by an award to Williams, were lost
by votes of 6 to 2, there being no majority
aud four of the members absent .
On suggestion of the Committee on Fur
niture and Supplies the bids for coal and
ink were rejected, and bids will be readver
tised for Wellington, Seattle and Coos Bay
coal, and ink by the gallon, delivered in
quarts.
Bids for the following articles were al
lowed: Lumber, P. Swift; paints and oils,
T. J. Bass & Co.; plumbers' material, P.
Kaisch; hardware, P. Ward; furniture,

In September last James Kelly was ap
pointed, under . $30,000 bunds, agent for
William Lawrie, an absent heir of Jane
Coddiugton, deceased. : The Fidelity and
Casualty Company of New York became
his surety for a consideration of $25 a
month, it required him to deposit 8300 as
a guaranty, and he now claims to bo enti
tled to 8125 drawback, having been an
agent only seven months. -
For Injuria* K •*•«>• I
George Menlto, through his father, Henry
Menke, has sued to recover $25,200 damages
from John Everding for injuries received.
The complaint sets lorth that George is 6
years of age, and on Judo 4, 1888, mounted
a truck driven by it servant of Everding.
By careless driving the child fell off the
vehicle and has since been crippled.

years, and iv.w ;v. .- a knowledge far In advance of the
generality of the procession. We aro not tied down .
by any effete or hide-bound code of ethics In medi-

effectual in the cure of human ills. ;
_. With minds matured and enriched by long prac-
tice and studies or an advanced order, also by an ex-
tensive hospital practice, we are enabled to insara

their veins. Header, If you have ever had a reason .
to believe that a terrible poison has entered your

developed, call at once and we wilt tell you If it Is
still lurking in your system. It will cost yon noth-

WOMEN AND KIICE.
The reason why a woman Is afraid of ft
mouse Is a profound mystery— indeed, it has
never been very clearly proven that she la.
But some women are constantly ln such a
nervous, irritable condition that the slightest
thing- annoys and startles them. The cause of
this unfortunate state of affairs la usually,
some functional derangement; somo distress-
ing or painful irregularity, gome derange-
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
Bex; or, it may be due to inflammation, ul-
ceration or displacement, of some of the
pelvic viscera, or to other organic lesions
peculiar to her sex. From whichever causo .
it may arise. Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
tion is a positive remedy, so certain in its
curative results that its manufacturers sell
it, through druggists, under a guarantee of
its giving satisfaction in every case, or
money paid for it will be promptly re-
funded. As a soothing and strengthening
nervine, " Favorite Prescription " is une-
quaied and is invaluable in allaying and sub-
duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex-
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and
other ■ distressing, nervous symptoms com-
monly attendant upon functional and orgnnio
disease of the womb. It induces refreshing
Bleep and relieves mental anxiety and de-
spondency.
