Kailroad Commissioner J. M. Litchfield
will this morning submit bis revised ioe
ta: iff for the approval of his colleagues in
that combination known as the State di
way Coniniission.
The now tat iff will undoubtedly be ap
proved and adopted by a unanimous vote
of the board; as it has already passed QlUS
tei at Fourth and Townsend streets. In
fact, ti.e revision was made by officers of

whoso lives hay;; been devoted to this sort
of work, men who find no difficulty iv
palming the alleged reduction on a credu
lous public, us an example of what fhe
Railway Commission cau do in tlic matter
of exorbitant rates.
This commission costs tbe tax-payers of
California something over SIB.OOO annually,
and the present board lias done absolutely
nothing. In no instance bas it interposed
that authority on behalf of the people ns
against corporation greed granted by the
Constitution; but on the contrary, it has in
several cases openly snubbed citizens who
have dared to appeal for aid iv the adjust
ment of rates.
THE FAKMEKS SNUBBED.
Even the Farmers' Alliance, representing
tbe most important Industry in the .state,
conld get no satisfaction lrom the members
of this boaid, whose hands nre tied behind
tl.eir backs by tiie Southern Pacific.
Last August the Alliance people asked for
better warehouse facilities at Paso-Kobles.
Tbe rompany would not allow the tanners
lo use a side-track connecting with a build
ing used for storing wheat; neither would
it construct a new track. This practically
f-.hiit the - farmers tff from any warehouse
business and worked them great hard ship.
An appeal was made to the Railway Coin-
Ission; but tbe board decided after a brie f
vestigation that it had no jurisdiction in
u.e matter and could only "recommend that
the company build the tr.ick requested."
This palpable evasion, however, did not
quite please Commissioner Litchfield, and
a great love fcr his masters prompted him
to rile a dissenting opinion. It is published
in the twelfth annual report of the commis
sion and is the most notable exhibition of
sycophancy In that remarkable woik.
SITIIM..N- M.l.Yil.lTY.
After reviewing tbe case at length Mr.
Litchfield sums up bis servility as luilows:
My opinion in :hls case is:
_-"ir_t — lo.it Ibis board has no authoilty to or
e"er;tlie railroad company lo put hi a switch or
detrackl
beeond— That there ls no e\ id* uce of any
wiouk committed by the tailioad company.
Thud— Tl .-it tbeie is in ilils case no ielu**al on

proper,ECCouimoddilou asked tor.
THANKS Fuli NOTIIINft.
It will be si en Ly the above that tbe
board iieuies its authoriiy to older a raii
road company to construct a switch or side
track, yet one month after this decision tiie
Southern Pacific was ordered to build a
6 witch near Luiiobe, El Durido CuuutyJ on
a petitieiii from several prominent citizens
of that locality. Tins order was not passed,
however, until Commissioner Litchfield
hud ascertained in an interview with a rail
road official tbat ihe switch iv question had
been ordered built by the company three
weeks before iho corn plaint was filed:
The citizens of Latrn_>e promptly thanked
the Coniir.issioiiei-* for their effective work,
and beiieve np to this day that the requested
improvement was obtained by virtue of
their authority.
SOUTHERN CALIFOENIA.
Prior to April, li-i-l, frequent complaints
lad been made by citizens ot Southern Cali
fornia charging certain railway corpora^
I lions wiih levying excessive rale?, and on
the second day of that month the Commis
sioners decided tojptoceed to lhat portion
of Uie State om a tour li-t investigation. It
was figured that ti.e trip would cost the
Slate aboul $(JGO.
Commissioner Litchfield was, as usual,
tent down to Fourth aud Townsend streets
for the purpose of informing the r.iiiroad
people of the iutentioa of the commission.
The ."southern Pacific, generoulsy offered to
pay ti.e expenses of the nip, anu two days
later Messrs. Litchfield, Bet-kuian aud Ilea.
accompanied by the Secretary uf the board
and tbree stenographers, were taken **_ulh
ln out- ot ibe company's private cars.

After tbeir return to han Francisco a
history of the "tour of investigation" was
compiled with considerable labor aud pub

li is a fair example of the work of the recent
board, and reads as follows:

THE MIDWAY CASE.
Following the southern outing came a
consideration of the Midway petition.
The citizens of Mid wav, Alameda County,
wanted the Southern Pacific Company to
build a depot or a platform at that
place, and petitioned the Commissioners
to issue an order to that effect A
year before tbe station-bouse had been
destroyed by fiie, and lhe people very
naturally felt that ihe company should
provide seme sort of shelter for their
fic-ight. Commissioner Becknian was in
favor of ordeiinc the company to build a
depot, but the influence ot Litchfield again
made itself manifest, and wrung from tbe
board the following decisb a:
!lu the matter of ibe petition of the citizens of
Midway,"Alauieda Couuty," lor a depot or plat
form, the boaid having bad the same umler cou*
-■'.'■_■.;■. and having made an Investigation;
upou motion of Commissioner Ll'.ciifieid the
Secretary was instructed to notily ilie parties
tiiat Ibe commission did not feel justified io re
questing U.e railroad company lo comply with
Hie demand made, in consequence of tbe small
amount of business transacted at tiiat station;
and tiii.t it was uot withiu the power of tbe com
i- '***!* •. lo older it done
".LACK 01 J-OWEn."
The Commissioners are constantly com
plaining of a "lack of power" and advance
this a- an excuse for their continued In
activity. In a repoit recently issued tbey
ofler the following apology:
Much has been said of the failure of tills 'com
mission io accomplish me end sought loi by Ue
Constitution ft hen the commission was estab
lished. We ate unable to determine wl, etiier
this so-culled lailuie is due wholly to tin per*
sumi' I that have composed it, or whether it Is
attributable, In a measure a least, to the -'lack
of rowti" io regulate and adjust the many ques
tions ihat have come bef oie it, or whether lif6
people have not availed themselves of the oppor
tunities ot pieseutina their gtievances to this
commission. He it as it may. we can only dis
cuss the (acts us we i. nd mem and the ie*u.ts
that have followed.
Here is a tacit acknowledgment from tiie
Commissioners themselves that the end
sought for by the Constitution in the estab
lishment of this commission is not accom
plished. The failuie is ascribed to two
causes, "Jack of power" and the "personnel
that has composed the board."
PCONSTII L'TIONAL POWERS.

uners persist in babbling of a "la' of

JIKS. COOPER'S I LASS.
I.essoug I-enrne.l From Hezekiah'*
iyer ami Daliverance.
Although the traces of her recent severe
illness were plainly visible, yet Mrs. Cooper
led her large class yesterday, with great
enthusiasm, to its close. Tiie lesson was
VHfzekiah's Prayer and Deliverance." The
general topic of prayer elicited luuc'.i inter
esting discussion. In reply to a question,
"Why was Hezekiah's prayer effectual?"
Mrs. Cooper said: "Because be trusted in
the livine God, and desired his will to be
done." ll is very diffi**ult, continued the
teacher, to trust the purely spiritual. The
temptation is to trust externals; to reckou
up military powers aud resources. As be
tween an immense army and a trust in God
we a-- apt to choose the former. The
grand o d prophet Isaiah had told Hezekiah.,
the King, that the L rd would send a blast
upou the King of Assyria. It Ls a terrible
thing when the Lord determines to -end
a blast upon a man. It is a fearful thing
for a wick d man to fall into the hands of
the living God. The King of Assyria found
this cut. Though band join in hand the
wicked shall not go unpunished. Whatever
is evil carries with tt«elf the seeds of its
own dissolution. Individuals anu nations
reap what they sow; we chooie the harvest
when we choo*e tbe seed.
It is the duty of prophets, ministers and
teachers to sneak out boldly a-iainst the
sins of the limes. Tiiere is too much of
winking ai iniquity; too much condoning of
crimes and sins. But there is no such thing
as hoodwinking tho Almighty. He is no
respecter of persons; but in every nation
lie tbat feareth Gi d and worketh n_.htt.otis*
ness is respecte 1 of him. The Lord com
manded tiie old prophet to speak out. He
told him to utter tiie anathema and tbat he
would tak- care ol results. There is too
much condoning of evil. Christians say:
"Oh, I must live in peace." We cry "Peace!
pe.-icel" wben there is no peace. The moral
ulcers of society can never be healed by
covering them up with a sort of social court
plaster. We are commanded tn abhor that
whicli is evil, and io send out words of hope
and cheer to those who arc being
driven by misfortune into dejection and
despair. Mere platitude**, that bave II >;
reference to present dangers, amount to
nothing. It is a fi e thing to admire this
brave old prophet of thousands of years
ago, who dared to tn Ik riyht out to crowned
head*. But unless we catch something of
his spirit and courage, and make them a
power iv our own lives, all will be vain.
Whenever, liKe Hezekiah, we can pray for
righteousness to prevail, and forget our own
poor puny little selves we shall be apt to
have our prayers answered. True prayer is
a missive lrom tho heart, mailed on the
postal route provided by God himself. And
true pra* er enables us to ok the dark side
of things (-("juare in the face and never
falter. "When Mass Jacks m pray all
night," bis body servant --aid, "den i pack
his tings; I know be go on a raid." Tiue
prayer links the foul to God; itis tho cry
of a child to its father.
AN IMPORTANT SALE.
J. .1. O-Brien & Co. Begin Their Annua]
.•dock-Taking Reduction Sale To-Day.
As announced in tiieir mammoth adver
tisement in Sunday's Call; the well-known
dry goods firm of J. I. O'Brien A: Co., will
this morning begin the great reduction sale,
annually . eld by them in February for the
purpose of clearing out their winter stock
to a minimum, previous to taking their
annual Inventory as well as preparatory to
the receipt of their spiing importations.
Although the mere announcement of the
br<_.'innlng of these sales is always i dent
to call forth an immense response from the
thousands of shrewd, careful buyer-, who
always look forward to and wait for their
annual recurrence, the sale which com
mences this morning bids fair to out-trip
any of its predcessors in popularity; from
the fact that the quantity of goods to be dis
posed of ls unusually gieat, and as n conse
quence the cuts in prices are the heaviest
ever quoted.
Taking the quotations r.f yesterday as a
criterion; it will be seen that in many cases
the goods are practically sacrificed, but
though this may at fir-* t seem suicidal on the
jail of the Messrs. O'Uiien, it is really the
very essence of sound business principles;
as it is undeniably better to dispose of
winter goods now, while they are season
able, even though at a loss, than it would
be to carry them over a whole year when
theywvuld be entirely out of date and un
saleable at any price.
Naturally this sale will prove a perfect
bargain harvest for buyers, and particularly
for those who take time by the forelock
and make selections early, while assort
ments ate comparatively unbroken, as tho
startling cuts .-it which dress goods, silks,
cloaks, laces, hosiery, underwear, ribbons,
gloves, gent's furnishings and the innumer
other articles are now ollered, cannot fail
to result In the speedy and very material
reduction of stock desired by the projectors
of this remarkable sale.

RISKED HIS LIFE.
A Reckless Man's Ride Down the
Mountain-Side.
CMcago Exchange.
"I do not want at this late day to take
away any of the glory General Putnam
acquired by his famous ride Iri Revolution
ary days," saiel C. P. Chandler of Colorado
at tiie Grand Pacific iri Chicago; "but I was
an eye-witness of a ride out in Colorado
thai was a great deal more daring than that
of the brave Putnam, and the rider was not
inspired by pursuing foes. It was all done
on a wager between two fellows of a reck
less type.
"From Union Dump to Pandora Mill.
near Telluride, Colo., .a the great Marshall
Basin, and not far from the beautiful Bridal
Vei! Falls, is a distance of something over
two miles. The dump is so far above the
mill that tiiere is a drop of oOiO feet in the
trail wliich leads down t" It. The trail is a
hard i nc, and to accomplish a journey from
the dump to the mill was tho work of an
hour. Tbe oie from the mine was carried to
the mill on burrows, thirty nr forty of the lit
tle 'elevators' usually being led down at a
time. A fellow who termed himself ' Kat
tlesnak*. Bill, the Tenor of Dakota,' was
one of the boss burro*-punchers around the
camp. He was agro.it vhaii, nut what
he boasted of more than anything else he
owned on earth was a cow pony by name
'Get Tiiere.' The trail from the Union
Dump to Paudora was easier of travel for
men than fur brutes, but Bill -.ay- swore
that lie and 'Get 1 here' could cov*T the dis
tance faster than any man in the mountains;
He offered to bet un the position, and
finally, found a seer tic in the person of one
'Lanky' Johnson, who owned a saloon and
a pair ol less which were his pride. He
was considered tho finest mountain climber
in the State. Well, 'Lanky' and Bill came
to terms f r a race, Bill wagering his sum
mer wages, his burros, his cabin and fix*
tures, and everything else ho could beg or
borrow that he could ride bis pony from the
dump to Pandora in shorter time than
'Lanky' coul J go the same distance afoot.
*■ 'Lanky' met him, ami put up money
against the collateral, the Make all told
being worth a couple of thousand dollars.
"The day for the trial came. The miners
in the basin all threw down their tools,
business was suspended in Telluride, ami
everybody turned out to see the sport. It
was a perfect day away up there in the
mountains when Bill, mounted on '(Jet
There,' and 'Lanky' Johnson went to the
post lor the big trial. The miners bet furi
ously, at least 15,00 dunging hands.
'Lanky' was a hot favorite. The miners
knew the trail well. They knew, or be
lieved, a man could move over it as fast as
a horse, and that he could take 'cut-tiffs' a
rider would not dare to attempt. But they
knew nothing of the recklessness in Bill's
heart as '<■ I 1 her* ' bounded a Nay at a
furious pace, goaded by 'black snake' in
the Hands of one of Bill's friends.
"Half-way down the traveling was good
for tho horse, but 'Lanky** hopes were
based on the 'zig-zag' foot-wide trail that
led down the side of a 700-fool precipice.
The horse, led to that point, where \LaukyV
backers expected to see him move up with a
spurt. At the side ot the regular trail was
a 'draw' leading to the. foot of the precipice.
The footing was of slieln rock that was dan
gerous or man or brute. Another friend of
Rill's stood right at the edge of the precipice
with a bullwl acker's whip. As horse and
rider neared him Bill turned 'Get There's'
head to the 'draw,' and the friend whipped
the horse, whi h jumped light on to the
loose, earth and .-tone of the draw and
was carried down with it to the bottom in a
twinkling. The feat was practically noth
ing more than a drop of 700 feet, as the
'draw' was almost pen endleulat. Out of
the dust at the base of the precipice horse
and rider came unharmed, resumed lhe
trail aud dashed ou furiously. 'Lanky'
gave up the race, but Bill didn't know.it
an 1 kept on his wild ride. At Hanging
Lock, where another forty-fool precipice
was in ft out of him, he did Dot turn for
the trail, but sent his pony flying Into tho
timber below. Then he drove through the
timber to the mil). No trail had ever been
made there, and how he managed to get
through im man knows.
- '•When Rill reached the mill he had to be
lilted off bis pony. Ho hadn't a bit of

last farewell to relatives and friends. At
the time its composition was undertaken.
Munkacsy was comparatively little known
to fame, and his friends endeavored to dis
suade* him from the arduous task. But the
self reliant artist was nothing daunted, and
as tho work progressed it became apparent
to all who saw it that instead of a rash ex
periment it was a thoroughly mature pro
duct, "thought out in dramatic sequence
and wrought into a thrilling plot." The
painter, however, could hardly be per
suaded to put his performance, when com
pleted, to the test of public exhibition ; and
it was with gloomy forebodings that be P'.t-
mitted it to depart for the Paris Salon, His
fears were groundless, however, its great
merit being at once recognized by critics,
and the painter's fame and fortune was as
sured.
A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.
A Woman Fatally Lacerated by
a Blood lion
St. Louts Star Sayings.
Mrs. Minnie Dunn, a young married
woman Ihiug at 4058 California avenue, had
a desperate battle with a large bloodhound
on the northeast corner of California ave
nue and Meramec street, in which she was
frightfully lacerated by the vicious brute's
teeth and claws. Her head, breast, hands
and arms aro a terrible sight to behold as
she li*-s groaning with agony at her home.
Her luce is terribly .figured by long
scratches and deep gashes, in which the im
print of the dog's teeth are plainly visible.
Her nose Is almost severed from the face,
and the right ear is badly torn. Her bands
are even worse. The right hand from the
wrist to the tips of the fingers i-> torn in
shred*, as if it had been in the dog's month
and the brute had chewed on it for an hour.
The left hand presents much the s.i!.. hor
rible sight. She is also badly torn and bit
ten in other parts of the body, her breast
especially being baelly torn The doctors in
attendance entertain very little hope of the
lady*, recovery.
The dog was. owned by Henry Cramer,
the proprietor of a saloon on tbe northeast
corner of Meramec street and California
avenue". When he heard ot the teirible as
sault be went *.t once gunning for the can
ine, and created considerable excitement in
an endeavor to put the victim brute out of
the way of again repeating such an attack.
Ho emptied bis slx-sbootei Into the dog be
fore it made the last kick, and then threw
the carcass into a vacant lot near by.
.Mrs. Dunn had been on a visit to a friend
and was returning home. When she reached

nue the dog was lying inside the yard ad
joining tbe saloon and appeared to b j asleep.
Mr". Dunn did not see the dog, and because
of the mud on the sidewalk "lie was com
pelled to walk In near the fence. While
stepping over a pool of water --lie rested her
right band on the .tate. The Kate was not
latched and gave way under her weight, and
she was thrown down on her side. She lell
on the sleeping brute, who awoke with a
howl of rage and sprang for the woman's
throat.
She put her rltfht arm over her face and
the dog caught it between his teeth. She
rose to her feel with the dog clinging to her
arm, and she was tno horrified with feat to
give an outcry, but fought with the dog as
best 3ho could. The dug seemed unable, to
catch a tit in hold after be lost his grip on
her arm, and jumped and bounded at her.
and with every jump he brought the blond
from seme part of the poor woman's body.
The fight lasted for fully fifteen minutes
before any one came to tho woman's assist
ance, she was weak from the loss of blood
and the fatigue of the battie, and had fallen
beneath one of tn s canine's most vicious
bounds, when Mr. Richard Ward of 4230
South Broadway happened upon the scene.
He ran to her assistance, to find the dog
chewing at the prostrate woman's head as
if it had been a chunk of raw beef. He
stood for a moment before determining how
to act
The dog had changed its hold and was
chewing on the right wrist, when Mr.
Ward espied I heavy piece of scantling
lying Hear by. He jumped and zed tins,
and the dog saw him, and leaving the
woman half dead on the ground, sprang at
Ward. Ward had recovered himself in
time to meet the attack, and dealt the
bloodthirsty brute three stinging blows on
the head that sent it reeling from him. He
followed Ibis up with a few more strokes
ami liualiy succeeded in driving tiie brute
off.
Mrs. Dunn lay cut and bleeding In the
yard.' She was scarcely able to speak.
Kind and willing hands picked bar OP and
she was carried by three stout met to tho
office of Dr. Gilmer. There the wounds
were bathed and cleaned and then cauter

minutes. She was then taken to b_r home

death is expected to relieve her of her suf

STATE SOLDIERY.
The Regulars Will Not Take Part
-'• ■-:-;
in the Field Day.
Communication by the Heliograph— Requisi
tions for Gatlings— Resignations and Ap
pointments-Colonel Barry's Caprice.
It has been learned that the regular troops
will not take part in the field-day exercises.
Washington's Birthday will come on Mon
day, and as it will be a legal holiday the
military authorities do not caro to call upon
the men for the extra duty they would have
to perform on that day. The Second Bri
gade, N. Q. ('., will have, therefore, the day
to Itseif, even the six companies of the Fifth
Infantry having been ordered to tako part.
Talking of tho competition In the company
drill under the new regulations it is not tiie
idea of General Dickinson that whoever
may choose will enter; on the contrary, he
wants the twenty-seven foot companies in
the brigade in tbe contest, and with that
object in view will probably have four con
tests progressing at one and the same time
that Is to say, four groups, one for each
regiment. The lour top companies will, in
turn, compete for the three prizes. The
judges will probably bo officers of the army ;
and in this way the General not only hones
to have a good dr ll on the day, but in the
companies also the good effect of the drills
in preparation. Inasmuch as the Fifth In
fantry will take part in the exercises in this
city on Washington's Birthday, Colonel
Fairbanks has warned his six company
commanders that "it will be necessary to
see that ail men are well and thoroughly
drilled in the new regulations, and schools
for instruction of non-commissioned officers
should bo well looked after."
An exemption certificate is at hand for
Quartermaster C. L. Bigelow, Fifth In
fantry; honorary members' certificates for
tiio Talbots in the cadet company and a
commission for Captain A. 11. Williams
with rank from December 31, 1891J as Adju
tant of the First Infantry. The latter also
qualified on Wednesday before Colonel Sul
livan.
To date G. 0. No. 1 and S. O. No. 1. R. O.
No* 1, Third Infantry, K. 0. No. 1, Fifth
Infantry, and Troop orders No, 1 have dis
played a sublime contempt for paragraph
682 of the rules and regulations.
CONNECTION WITH HEADQCAI.T_.KS.
The Adjutant-General has received from
the Signal Officer of the First Brigade a
map showing how communication from San
Diego to Sacramento could be secured by
means of the heliograph system, the map
being the work of Corporal William A.
Burr of the Signal Corps after devoting
many weeks of labor. It shows what
points on or near the coast and what islands
off the coast of San Diego can be communi
cated with by means of this system of sig
naling, demonstrating the numerous high
peaks whereon stations might bo established
in case of necessity and hundred* of such
stations being designated. In order to com
municate from San Diego to Sacramento,
the message would have to pass through
the hands of the operators at about fifty
stations. The last station from which a
San Diego message would be repeated for
Sacramento would be on the top of Mount
Diablo.
11. R. 52- the Cutting Bill— was presented
in the House of Representatives on Janu
uary sih, has been read twice, referred to
tbe. Committee on the Militia and ordered to
be printed. It was published in The Call
on November 23, 1891.
The new armory of the Second will be
formally opened en Thursday evening. A
regimental bazaar will also be held during
the last week in the month. Fur the open
ing the invitations read "Reception from 8
to 10:30 p. .m. Military in uniform."
Lieutenant-Colonel Kt*ster, Second Artil
lery, has made requisition for a 4."-caliber
GailuiK gun and he wants it for the instruc
tion of gun detachments. Galling guna are
suddenly in great demand]
Lieutenants O'Mahoney, Elagan and Mur
phy, Third Infantry, constitute the Board
Examiners of candidates for non-commis
sioned officers, relieving Lieutenants Ozias
and Fitzpatrick.
AN ALLEGED RESIGNATION.
The resignation of Theo. C. Marceau, al
leged to have been an aid-de-cami en the
staff of the Commander-in-Chief, withthe
high, mighty and empty title of Lieutenant-
Colonel, is pretended to have been accepted
under date of the sth uit. As the pre
tended commission was issued and the
qualification presumably had by virtue oC
mid uneJtri tcctii'u l.'lT, .* .ii... 1. J, but be
fore the new law went into effect, tbe aver
' age man cannot understand how a resigna
tion could have been accepted from an
individual who never was in a lositfoo to
tender one. However, the color-* will not
be draped in mourning and the guard will
not be seriously crippled.
Colonel Fairbanks has announced the fol
lowinir staff changes and appointments:
Lieutenants C. E. Slngley, 1.R.P.; to be
Paymaster; F. S. Pott Jr.. Commissary, to
be Inspector of Rifle Practice, an 1 Quarter
master-Sergeant John Hendy, to be First
tenant and Quartermaster, vice Bige
low-,
Colonel Barry, Third Infantry, lias had
occasion again to call the attention of Ins
company commanders to orders of March 7,
1801, requiring papers to be forwarded to
regimental headquarters before the sth of
every month.
Pursuant to the recommendation of the
Board of Survey one battery wagon, one
battery forge and parts of elttht sets of bat
tery harness, chargeable to Colonel Macdon
aid, have been ordered condemned and de
stroyed.
Lieutenant Mabone of E of the Second
qualified before Major Geary, and Lieuten
ant Kerwin, C of the Third, before Colonel
Barry.
ACCOUNTING 1 OB CAPRICE.
In accounting for ins "apparent caprice In
asking lor retirement and consenting to re
election after the retirement," the "official
organ'! has discovered a military weather
bureau, and says that it "inclines to the pre
sumption that Colonel Barry saw the war
cloud in the South American sky after his
resignation was forwarded to the Governor,
and imagined that bis retirement from ac
tive duty on the eve of hostilities would be
regarded by cynical brother officers as a
measure of precaution, and therefore placed
himself in line for re-election."
R. O. No. 1 of the Third Infantry dis
charged for January 2 sergeant*, l Cor
poral and 27 privates; 10 from C, 8 from A,
(5 from B and 3 each from I) and E; 4 for
expiration of service, against 26 lor "re
moval." The non-coma were discharged as
non-coms.
Tho cavalry was out at the Presidio yes
terday forenoon and tried the new saddles,
which it bought with the proceeds of a re
cent benefit entertainment at one of tho
theaters.
Second Lieutenant W. F. Chlpman of I)
of the Second has tendered his resignation,
having suddenly discovered that the mili
tary takes up 100 much of his time.
'lhe Third Infantry will assemble at
Shell Mound Park at 11 a. m. on the lith to
comp. te by company for the Tobiu regi
mental trophy.
"WEST point of the \. <**. c."
A Corporal of the Signal Corps was re
cently appointed a regimental ordnance
officer and the "official organ" jumps with
both feet on this "new feature" to say that
if it continues the Signal Corps may well be
called the "West Point of the N. G. C."
Major Burdick will now havo to take up the
cudgel in behalf of the City Guard -md
Captain Margo of the Light Guard may also
have the lloor to protest.
Company commanders in the Fifth In
fantry have been warned that all papers
are due at brigade headquarters on or be
fore the lutli of the month succeeding that
for which they are made out, and it is
necessary therefore that they be sent to
regimental headquarters before the Sth that
they may be forwarded in time.
Captain Simo oLthe Light Battery has re
ceived a gentle reminder that he need not
expect any requisitions to be honored until
be has complied with an order of the 28th
of December, 1891, to ship a gatllng gun by
steamer to General Johnson of the First
Brigade.
"For convenience and for the purpose of
instruction" the Eighth Infantry has "for
the time being" been divided Into three
battalions of two companies each, each bat
talion under one of the three field officers.
Regimental orders of: the Fifth Infantry
discharged a bandsman and four privates,
two from E and one each from C and A,
three for removal and one each for expira
tion of service and on two-thirds vote.

kins anil Private Joseph A. Fredericks to
be Sergeants; Private Frank Gallagher to
bo Corporal; Company E— Corporal Ed
ward Lawler and Private Edward Mathcson
to be Sergeants.
Captain Smith of A of the Fifth has made
requisition for a Galling gun for his com
pany in Oakland. Why lie should desire
one is not very patent, -but presumably
Oakland wants to offset "Betsy" in San
Francisco and the brass field gun in the
hands of the University Battalion in
Berkeley.
For tite purpose of drill under tbe new
regulations the Third has been divided into
into two battalions, consisting of the com
panies of the right and left wings respect
ively as. now organized. That's an odd
division with seven companies.
Corporal C. F. Krause and Private C. H.
Jessen, of the cava troop, have been ap

commanding, vice Crowley and McAian,
and with rank of Sergeaut-Major.
The "official organ," in its roster, has not

Regimental orders of the Fifth Infantry

The Captain of Company Aof the Fifth In
fantry has called for an election to fill the
Lieutenancy vacant by the resignation of
B. Y. Morris. It has been ordered to be
held on the llth prox., and conformably to
the request Lieutenant-Colonel Pardee "the
Brig. Surgeon," will do the honors.
Captain Smith of Oakland has also asked
permission of general headquarters to use
up 1000 rounds of ball cartridge-*, which he
has carried (metaphorically) for seven or
eight years, and which be modestly suggests
"must be in bad condition now and unfit for
active service."
Lieutenant Gielow, D, First Infantry, has
applied for an exemption certificate for
seven years' service; likewise Corporal
Frank Hurley of C and Musician Alonzo
Coffin of the tiand of the Third Infantry.
Captain O'Neill of Q of the Second has

HAND-BALL COURTS.
Games and Match" Making Grow-
ing Livelier.
Now is the day of B peculation and at
tempted match-making in the local band
ball courts. John Condon is trying to meet
Mike Butler, who has said bo would play
as soon as a lame shoulder gut into condition,
and as ho was playing in his own court yes
terday the nearness of the contest seems to
lis assured. The frequenters of both courts
are, therefore, speculating on their favor
ite*.
Michael Mangan has his eyes 6et, evi
dently, on some of tho local Jehus, whom
ho wishes to do up brown, for he has ex
pressed a consuming desire to play any
hack-driver in town any number of games
of twenty-one aces each. Champion John
Keardan is to appear in court next Sunday
to meet two of San Francisco's ball-players
to make arrangements for a match. Rear
dan claims that at the next game be will be
in condition. Manager Armstrong says it
is really strange no man can bo persuaded
to meet Reardan single-handed.
Tne amateur events in the Union hand
ball court* were very bright yesterday
morning. Malic. and Lynch were defeated
by Johnson, Scores: 15 to 12, 12 to 15 and
10 to 15.
Mullen defeated Leary in the first and
third games. Scores: 11 to 15, 15 to 12 aud
15 to 10.
McCarthy beat Brannick in three straights
In a contest for the best three out ot live.
Scores: 15 to 10, 15 to 8, and 15 to 4.
Peter Hutchinson played his brother
George for a small purse and won, but alter
a hard struggle. Scores: 15 to 12,1 3 to 15
and 15 to 10.
McDermott defeated Malloy easily.
Scores: l*. to 8, to to 15 i nil 15 to 13.
Kelley was defeated by Mangan by the
scores : 12 to 15, 15 to 10 and 8 to 15.
Condon and Kelly were pitted with
O'Donnell and Mangan and were unexpect
edly defeated. Scores: 21 to 18, 18 to 21 and
17 to 21.
O'Donnell and Hutchinson were worsted
ignomlnlously by Kelly and McDermott in
ihe brst rubber. Scores : 2— 15 and 12---16.
The see-, ad rubber went to the former team
by 15— 12, B— ls and 15— and In the third
rubber both teams won a game, the third
and deciding oue going to O'Donnell and
Hutchinson.
In Butler's court Lynch and Mattery de
feated Morrisey and Ilarrigan utter a hard
struggle. Scores: 15—13, li—i;- and 15—14.
Eugene Vogelsang, the champion of Oak
laud, was defeated by Mr. Bailey of the
Carpenters' Union, Scores: B—ls and
6 15.
Lavelle and Skelley were matched with
Hollo and Slattery. To the astonishment
of all the latter team won, and was chal
lenged immediately to play next Sunday for
a dinner. Accepted.
Harlow and Butler played Lavelle and
Lineban a tie game.
