Upon cross-examination , by Mr. Koran the Question was asked: " Did you do anything when you saw the man make a sign?" No, sir,'' replied the witness; "nothing more than watch them." '■ What did they first do to Clausen?" "They commenced to punch him." "Who*?" : - * . "The man who caught him around the neck." "Did you see any one strike him?" "Yes, sir; several times the man who caught him punched him in the face. . Both the liven were being punched in the face. I'm pietty sure there were about a dozen in the attacking party."

KERB HAD NO HAT ON. William. -Haurahan, a machinist at 19 Stevenson street, was next called, and tes tilled that at the time of the shooting he was iv a restaurant Dearly opposite the Occiden tal Foundry. '-'-. "When I .-came out of the restaurant," said be, " I .-aw some men scuttling. Fili ally one got away. it was iir. Kerr, and be had no bat on. He rati tip toward his foundry and tried to get in at the door. The men, who were following bun, saw that lie had a pistol and yelled out, ' He's got a gun-" "Where was Cogan at this time?" asked Mr. Lloyd. .. " He was running across. the street, near Kerr's foundry. Kerr, alter trying to get in at his door, hut finding it fastened, turned and walked back to the edge of the sidewalk, pistm in hand." " Did lie shoot at once?"' : " Yes; right away. I don't think lie had time to take aim. After the- shot was fired Cogau staggered toward the sidewalk aud fell." "Did yon see Clausen?" ■■■*'. ■ "Well, 1 saw the man that was jumped upon by these men. I never saw him before and don't know tiiat I have since." " Could you recognize that man if you were to see him again?" .*.".:.*: Clausen was brought in for identifica tion, but the witness said he- could not recognize him. "When 1 saw him that. morning," he explained, "he was dressed in working clothes, and bis face was covered with blood. 1 think, at the time the shot was filed lie was nearer to Kerr than any one else," "Are you sure about the number who participated in the fight?" ; asked .Mr. 11 .ran on cross-examination. O.NLV FIVE I.V THE FIGHT. " I am sure that there were only five per sons. When Kerr returned from his office ■ . door the nearest person to him was about thirty feet away, and as-soon as this person saw him coming back, with his pistol in his band he started to run. It was at that in stant the shot was fired,, and. then every body ran." ■*-,*■ " Did you know the deceased?" "i was 'only slightly; acquainted with him— from his being ■ around 1 the foundry, but I did not recognize liim until I . saw him fall after he was shot." - Isaac L. Burton, who. owns a small -.ma-. chine-shop at 117 First street, was the next witness- and when referred to. the time* (if the shooting and asked to tell what he saw related the following facts :.'_____^a\jf^i.-.'a—* "It was ■ right in front of roy shop that I first heard a souffle, and then 1 saw five' or six men beating Clausen. Soon after .he. .broke away and ran.' 1 did Trot see Kerr at that time, but a moment later I saw him in front of his shop, with a pistol .In his hand. Then 1 saw him shoot. I did not think that any one was hit, because it. seemed tome that he shot too high, as if oyer the heads of persons in front of him. . Then. 1 saw a man stagger to a ard the sidewalk and fall. "1 do not -'Know who the assaulting. parties were. They were dressed like labor ing men. Ido not remember thing ill •particular tnat was said during the luss,* bull think it was something like "give it to him!* '.. .. :" -.."■• WTll.i:i. CLAUSEN STOOD. .-" "1 do not remember exactly where Clausen stood at the time of the shooting, but 1 should think be was not more than ten or fifteen feet away from Kerr." This witness' testimony differed from the others on cross-examination as to how noar the persons approached Kerr aboit t.t lie time the shooting occurred. He thought that those In pursuit were even as near as five feet, and according to his best recollection ■there were twenty persons . nearer than tv feet. When Kerr shot, he appeared to aim high and diagonally across the street toward Minna street, and Cogan was run-, ning toward him. . From his point of observation, it seemed as though there were several people between Kerr and COgan, hut the whole affair took place and was over so suddenly that lie could hardly recall the facts in their order. Each- witness was also closely questioned on eross-ex.'tuiination to discover how many Instructions he had received from Kerr's attorneys or friends as to what he should say on the stand. . The examination will be resumed to-day at 2p. m. -' " - DASH AWAY MONEY. A Suit Involving the Distribu- lion of $17,500.

An action to recover the £72,000 first divided among the members is now pending. '________ ■ A HOSPITAL YARN. The Intelligent Dog and I'.r I limit- 1" m- cii ii official*. Dr. Wolff, Steward Trewin and Matron Kan*, all of the City Receiving Hospital, have apparently missed their vocation in life.. Instead of wasting their talents in sewing patients together and patching them up they should at once resign their positions and start a weekly magazine de voted specially to fairy stories. They are responsible for the following anecdote, il lustrating at once the intelligence of- the canine race and the brilliancy of their (the officials') imaginations. Thus say the three: Early yesterday morning a poor, miser able, half-bred pointer dog limped pain fully into the hospital, and going straight to Dr. Wolff, sat down, held up a paw;that had a bandage around it, winked three times at the doctor and howled in a sub dued tone of voice. Seeing that the doctor paid no attention to him he seized the doc tor's loose-flowing pantaloons aud dragged the astonished medico to the operating table. The intelligent canine then leaped upon the table, untied the bandage around his paw Willi his teeth and hold up the se verely lacerated member for inspection. The animal's eye seemed to have hypnotic force, for the doctor felt impelled, despite himself, to examine it aud dress it. When by mistake he took up a bottle of lunar caustic in solution, as if to pour it over the wound*!, the dog pushed it aside i urn I pointed. straight at the bottle always used for wash ing out wounds. Whenever the doctor, in his natural agitation, made a mi-play as it were, the dog corrected him, until finally the operation was completed to his satis faction. Then, Steward Trewin .ay's," (lie animal steered him up to the slate whereon pa tients are registered, and saw that the proper entry was made, under the head of "A Canine— lacerated wound of the right paw," with the time, etc. Matron K.ur next came in for his attention. She was dragged by the dog into the kitchen, ami forced to give him a . big meal of meat. Thee the dog visited in turn the three Sa maritans who had succored him, wagged his tail in rapid succession before each of them, barked joyfully, and left- the Hos pital. That is how it all happened, or how each of the three officials state that it looked as if happening to the others by the one de scribing it. - EQUALIZING TAX ATiO Applications for Redaction* Granted by the Supervisors;* The Board of Supervisors met yesterday as a County Board of Equalization for'the last time, lor the purpose of hearing the applications of tax-payers for reductions of assessments on their real estate.

Vain held three policies of insurance, of $2000 each, one in the Manu facturers' Fire and Marino Insurance Com pany, another in the Sun Fire Insurance Company, and the third in the Elliott In surance Company. The property insured wns burned on or about September 12, ISM. Pam assigned his claim** against tlie com panies to L. Zeckendorf & Co., and that firm reassigned them for collection to George A. Case, who sued for and recov ered judgment on April 7, 1889, at which time he died. Hi-; widow received the money, and Zeckendorf ft Co. have now petitionod for an order on Mrs. Case to nay over the money to them, and the matter ill be heard next Monday. The Firt'-Alai in Service. S. B. Rankin, Superintendent of the Fire alarm and Police Telegraph, filed his annual report yesterday for the fiscal year endiug June 30th.' The number of alarms during the year aggregated 2i)o first alarms and four second alarms. There are now 207 signal-boxes and 131 gongs and tower-bells operated from the central office, and the cost of running the department was $18, --187.71.. Mr. Kankin thinks that a larger appropriation should be made iv order to improve the service and make necessary ad ditions. During the year twenty-one gongs -were added to the system, and 100 miles of wire are in use. One . more man is also needed, he ' says, for the repair service, while the operating force should consist of four men. . ■ '___ Confirmation of a Bale. J. G. Kittle, who is administrator of both the estates of David and Abrani Sands, reported to Judge Van Keynegom yester day that he bad sold to Robert C.

Possibilities of Another Sweep- ing Kate War. Huntington Si'ent Corcerning; the Coast Line — Fait Time to the East — The Milbrae Depot— Personal Gossip. The Denver and Rio Grande was to have been opened in connection with the Colo rado Midland as a standard gauge on the 10th of the present month, but in making the connection the management has experi enced greater difficulties than was at first anticipated. In all probability it will be the last of August before the lino will be iv operation as' a through route. There is a long tunnel at Malta, near Leadville, Colo., which is as yet unfinished. Also a gap of twelve miles to close a short distance east of Ogden. The President of the road re cently stated that the work was being pushed as rapidly as consistent, and that the 20th of August might see the line . opened. At all events it cannot be de layed much longer. There is a deal of speculation among railroad men as to how the line; when opened for business as a standard gauge, will meet the fast time of the Union Pacific. For several reasons it is deemed an impossibility for theni to make the same time that is now made by the Union. Pacific's fast train. It is hinted that the management of the latter line believes that when the I'io Grande opens as a through line it will be the strongest competitor for through freight that they have ever worked against. The Union Pacific, realizing that they must di vide their enormous freight traffic with a rival line, It is claimed that 'they have de termined to retaliate by getting the lion's share of the passenger business, which can only be accomplished by making time which the rival line cannot meet. Besides ■ a difference of 274 miles in the total mileage the Kio Grande has heavier grades thau the Union Pacific, and has, moreover, many miles of new road, over which for some time to come it will be impossible to run fast trains. In view of these facts it is said that the Kio Grande people will ask for a withdrawal of the fast train service now operated by the Union* Pacific between this city arid Chicago, ai.d if the demand is not complied with they will adopt the usual plan iv such cases and meet the relusal by making lower rates, which course would embroil all of the transcontinental roads in another, rate war. The opening of the above-mentioned line is looked forward to with a good deal of interest by railroad men, who argue that the event may create trouble of uo ordinary kind. 11l MT.\<r ION'S silence. One of the projectors of a .scheme formu lated at. the convention held at San Jose about a month since, for the purpose of in ducing the Southern Pacific Company to close the gap in their line between Kilwood, in Santa Barbara County, and Santa Mar garita, in San Luis Ouispo Couuty, was in terviewed yesterday concerning Mr. Hunt ington's failure to take action on the propo sition as submitted by Colonel Crocker, and also regarding the probability ol auother convention being called. The gentleman interviewed seems greatly disappointed, not so much at the silence of Mr. Huntington and his associates on the subject, as at the lack of enthusiasm mani fested among those who were crying loudly for a convention only a mouth ago, and who vow seem to have forgotten their own ef fotts to. give birth to a project which is now dead beyond resurrection. In the course of the conversation, the gen tleman said: "1 do not believe that an other convention will be called. The scheme is dead. Those who a month ago could talk, nothing else are now silent. 1 believe, however, that Mr. Huntington, if allowed to use his own judgment in the matter, would bo iv favor ot closing the gap on the terms offered by the convention. He is surrounded aud influenced by a horde of advisors, several of whom have offices at Fourth and Towuseud streets, and the objections of these advisors to the plans of the convention were forwarded to Mr. Huntington, and had, it seem.*., sufficient weight lo induce silence on ins part, which, of course, means a refusal to build the road at present, — "1 know it was decided to call another convention in the event of au unfavorable answer, but it will not be done— at least, such is my opinion. Tiie gap will be closed, 1 suppose, at the pleasure of the Southern Pacific Company and not before, lam dis gusted Willi the half-hearted methods pur sued by them, pretending to be deeply in terested, and lor oue shall take no part in measures which may be proposed in the fu ture for construction of a coast line, inde pendent or otherwise." TO BE REBUILT AT ONCE. The recent fire, which entirely destroyed the depot at M librae, on the Coast Division ot the Southern l'acilic, was caused by spontaneous combustion in the re-room. The loss is estimated at about S-000. The erection of a new depot "ill be commenced at once, aS this is an important station, more milk being shipped ltoin this place than from any other station .on the South ern Pacific system. CALIFORNIA OX WHEELS. Land Agent Mills of the Central Pacific says that ihe 12,000 acre tract purchased by his company iv Tehama County is being cut up into small farms and rapidly dis posed of to a very desirable class of settlers, lie reports "California un Wheels" at Nap panee, lm!., and says that be is in almost daily receipt of communications from citi zens residing in towns visited by the exhib it, asking for information concerning Cal ifornia and her resources. Mr. Mills is convinced that the exhibit is doing good work in the East, and believes this the only method of arousing inquiry which tends t.i a knowledge of California, more especially of her agricultural advantages. FAST TIME TO 'CHICAGO. On the 29th of last month the Union Pa cific issued a new time-card for its second class passenger service between Sau Fran cisco and Chicago. Holders of second-class tickets via this iine now leave San Francisco at 3 o'clock in the afternoon daily and arrive . at Ogden at 3:3oo*rlock in the second morn ing. They leave Ogden at 9:65 o'clock in the morning and rive at Green Kiver at 5:40 o'clock in the afternoon of the saint: day, when they are attached to the fast mail train and reach Chicago on the fourth morning after leaving San Francisco, which is five hours and twenty-live minutes better time than is made by holders of first-class tickets leaving San Francisco at 8 o'clock iv the evening dally. The Union Pacific people state as tlieir reason for this great reduction in time that they were compelled to meet the fast time adopted some time ago by the Santa FY, and the new service as now operated they claim to be the quickest time between this city and Chicago.

All Tom, a Chinese Hi. use Servant, Kails a _»ei_hboi lion il. For quite a long while the residents of the block on Washington street between Hyde and Larkin have been annoyed by a succession of burglaries committed during the night. All sorts of easily portable arti cles have been taken, with the one excep tion of silverware. The thief seemed to have a special predilection for visiting the residence of U. Burk, at 1001 Washington street, and the, Japanese Servant employed there determined if possible to effect his capture. Accordingly he invited another Japanese to keep a watch with him. For several evenings lliey waited without success until about 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning, when lhey heard some one- moving about in the basement, Tlie two Japanese detectives male a hurried descent and found a China man gathering a Quantity of loose articles. The thief was seized by the plucky Japs, but he proved too powerful for them, and broke away and out of the bouse, hotly pursued by the two watchers. Th_ fugitive was chased into 1509 Wash ington street and with the assistance of Officers Wells and McMahon, arrested. The thief proved to be Ah Tom, a diminutive Chinaman, who had been employed for over two years as a servant iv the house in question. In his room a vast quantity of articles, stolen by him from all over the neighborhood during his uocturnai raids, was found, and also fourteen Chinese pawn-tickets for stolen articles pledged by him. Two charges of burglary havo been placed against the prisoner, and as the recovered property is identified additional ones will be placed against him. SHOT.

When he ielt the house yes terday he allowed the revolver to lie on the trunk-lid. The boys slept in the same room. Fred was the first to awake and he secured the revolver. When Georgo awoke he took the revolver and playfully pointed it at his brother, "in fun," as he afterward said. Suddenly a shot rang out. George had cocked the revolver, and, supposing it un loaded, had pul ed the trigger. Fred fell back, snot through the head. George stood over bis little victim spellbound, and not realizing what he had done, wheu the boys' mother ran into the room, having heard the shot. "1 didn't mean to hurt Freddie," was all George said, '! he police of the Flushing avenue Station were called. The youthful fratricide was taken to the Station-house and the police notified Coroner Lindsay. In the afternoon Georgo was arraigned be fore Coroner Unsay and fully exonerated. The father is crazy nearly with grief and remorse for his carelessness.— Y. Press, July 17th. • LIMA 111 DIVORCE CASE. The Wire Make*.

Chief Crowley's Return in the Bingham Test Case. The Presence of the Chinese in the Heart of San Francisco Is a Menace to Property and the Community's Morals. The test case of Chae Yuen, involving the validity of the Bingham ordinance for the removal of the Chinese from the quarter now occupied by them, came up yesterday morning in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Sawyer. The little difference of opinion between the District and the City and Couuty attorneys as to who should represent the city in the litigation seemed to have been satisfactorily smoothed over, for Assistant City and County Attorney Humphreys appeared for the city. The most important proceeding at the hearing yesterday was the presentation of Chief of Police Crowley's answer to the traverse of Cliao Yuen. In this traverse Chae Yuen denies the power of the city to remove Chinatown, and states that there are no facilities in the district set out In South San Francisco for the new Chinese quarters in the way of lighting, drainage or water supply, j • Chief Crowley's reply is a long and scathing denunciation of the Chinese race. In it he denies the allegations of Chae Yuen and says that the district set apart for the residence of the Chinese in South San Francisco is more than live times as large as the territory they now occupy. It is laid out in blocks and lots; street run through it at regular intervals; the city has an engine bouse aud police station there; the place is well supplied with stores, and street cars place tlie quarter within easy and convenient reach of all putts ot the city. CROWDED IN ONE LOCALITY. The answer states that 08 per cent of all the Chinese in the city live In tho Chinese quarter, which is located in the most beau tiful, attractive and convenient portion of the city for residence purposes. Its loca tion is central and iv the very heart of the city. Through it and extending to remote portions of tho city run several important cable-railway tracks, and inhabitants living north and went of the quarter are obliged to pass through it daily. It is set forth that all the property con tiguous to the quarter has greatly deterio rated in value, except only such portions of it as are used by the Chinese for immoral purposes, and that the quaiter has been and is slowly extending and ruining the property near which it approaches. Con tinuing the Chief uwis: That the Chinese as a race— that is the commu nity of Chinese In this cny as a race— commit moie crimes and otleu«es against the laws in proportion to their numbers than any other race or community heie, and the detection of the per petrators ot such crime*! Is iiiuiu ditllcult lhan the detection of criminals of any other race, be cause ol the refusal of eye- witnesses of lhal lace to disclose the identity of such criminals and as lhey cone al their names from the ollice: s ol the law. -Tliey and disregard the laws aud violate them unto with Impunity, because of their race Characteristic ol concealing the identity ol the perpetrators of crime. MO KI-SI'IXT FOB LAWS. That for eighteen jeais last hast I have been Cliu-i of f'oiice of this cliy ana county and have had eat experience ill trying to stop one 111 the aforesaid Chinatown; that fioin said expe rience 1 aver that the Chinese have no lespect lot our laws— either Fedeial or Mate; that when (hey are anested they resort to all Kinds of Hand and perjury lo evade tuuishiuciit. and owing to then want of respect fur au oath it is almost uu possible 10 convict litem. That the Chinese aie a menace and dangerous to out established lustiitu.uus. lhey commit minder iv Chinatown In opeu day Ut, In the Lrieser.ee ol witnesses ol their own i ace, and ll is lately a conviction can be seemed, because they withhold all Information from the authoit ues lhal will aid in anyway lo a conviction or discovery ot the pel hen atom ol the crime. 'the Chinese abandon their Incut invalids, and also their sick without means of 'support, olleh placing item m a feeble or dying condition on live slieeis to die. 'lhey have no legard lor the obligations of an oath as administered in our court.. heir general bauds, manners and cus toms are different from aud repugnant to those ol the white and all other races, mid as a race the Chinese assimilate with uo other. LESS THAN 1000 FEMALES. That lv the year 1880 there resided in this cliy and county 21,732 Chinese, and ihelr num ber since has not materially changed.

By mutual consent of counsel the case was continued until Monday next to give Attorney Riordao time to reply to Cnief Crowley's answer. HIGHWAY BOBBERS. Two Tonne Men Jailed for Terrorizing file IV .-stern Addition. Charges of robbery, attempted robbery and battery were placed on the City Prison register yesterday afternoon by Officers Floyd, J. Cunley and Harrington against Michael llusick and Thomas Thompson, alias Galvin, who are about -5 years of age and. extremely well and unfavorably known in -the Western Addition. The officcis state that the prisoners have been making a great deal of Iron ble for them iv the Western Addition, and have estab lished quite a reign of terror among the milk-drivers, grocery clerks and others. A few samples of their work are as follows: At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon they at tacked Chris Hansen, a delivery-wagon driver for 11. Sieger, a grocer on Fillmore end Sacramento **lieets, and on the corner of Stelner and Clay streets demanded his money, and when he refused to five it up they beat him brutally with the whip. On June 9th lust they attacked Herman Stiffens, a boy employed in a grocery on Clay and Fillmore street?, and on Califor nia street, near Fillmore, they stole his hat, which llusick appropriated for his own use ami wore when arrested. Some three weeks ago they entered a liquor-store on Wilde and Fillmore streets and stole a number of bottles of whisky and wine. Repeated other robberies are also laid to their charge and two warrants have been taken out since their arrest. both have bad records, llusick having served a term in the House of Correction for embezzling money from a butcher for whom be worked iv the Western Addition. Thompson baa been driving delivery wag ons fur Western Addition storekeepers, and, it is said, has not the best reputation for honesty. The prisoners reside with their parents in the Western Addition. Shelterlne Anns. With retJiiriJ to a news Item published on Sunday morning, relating to a baptism in the Trinity Church, Sister Julia of the Sheltering Arms claims for that institution the distinction of the first baptism in the diocese by Bishop .Nicholis, who/on the evening of the 13th inst, baptized a baby boy in the institution. The work of the Sheltering Alms, which is now located at 808 Twenty-fourth street, will be continued during the coining year ut the corner of Secoud and Harrison streets in a House which George \V.
