missing posts. After McAuliffe had left
the arena he was brought into the office
and asked to apologize to the judges and
on refusing was ordered to leave the Pa

he did go, insisting on driving his team
out, too.

NO PRIVATE CONTRACTS.
The Merchants' Association Has
Now Taken Up the
Cudgels.
ADDRESSED THE SUPERVISORS.
Attention Called to the Way in
Which Property - Owners Are
Talked Into Signing.
Bince the Board of Supervisors decided
that no more street work should be done
by private contract those who have made
fortunes out of this class of work— the
contractors— have been putting forth every
effort to influence the Street Committee to
reconsider the matter.
At tne last meeting of the committee
they argued the subject long and earnestly,
though without definite results. The
Merchants' Association has taken'the mat
ter up in the fear that the contractors may
finally prevail upon the Supervisors to
change their minds.
A communication on the subject, pre
pared by the association's engineer, in
which the mattei is treated at length and
the Superintendent of Streets severely
commented on, was sent to the board
yesterday. It is as follows:
In this private work the solicitor goes among
the people on an entire street and endeavors to
have thorn sign a private contract with him to
do the work. If he is a good, plausible talker
he secures some names, and by assiduously
working may get the names of all the owners
on the block. If he cannot secure all he:n
some way gets the Supervisors to order the
work done by public contract, and before the
time expires in which the people can protest
he pets the other names.
Some may be inclined to protest, but seeing
that a majority has already signed a contract
give to and go with the majority. Further
proceedings are stopped by the Doard when a
showing is made that three-fourths have
elected to take up the work.
The ordering of the work done Is effective In
making people sign, but sometimes it does not
have the desired effect or does not have to be
resorted to. The thing which is first tried is to

! possessing'themost influence and secure his
signature first. If he does not care to sign
some inducement is given him. . Often this in
ducement is in the shape of a private agree
ment to remit a great portion of the costs on
his lot. In other words, if he signs first he will
be exempt from certain payments. The other
owners see his name and feel that if he can
stand it they can also. In fact they seem to
feel that it is worth while paying for the im
provement in front of their 'little lots if the
wealthy man can be made to pay for improving
his portion. ;. > ■•'• - •
They take a wicked sort of satisfaction in it
without thinking that perhaps he has secured
some preat concessions — that, the latueh is
really on his side. "This will probably account
for the/fact that the representatives of large
estates uniformly iavor the doing of street
wort by private contract. :•'• .
- The -principal arpument used to. Induce
people, to sicn ■. private contracts is that of
Iconomy. They are, told tha/t under the law
they will T have to pay for advertising, en
gineers' fee and inspectors' services. Under
the private contract they save this. But the
bills when turned, in show that the inspector
and engineer must be paid and the only
saving is in the advertising, the only item that
would insure open competition. It is poor,
■economy. ... .."• ;;,
Under the : puttlic contract the work is done
to the specifications prepared by the Super
visors ' and to the * satisfaction of - the . Street
Superintendent. . When completed the street
is accepted by the City and perpetually main
tained. The law says the payment shall beat
a uniform rate per front foot. In private work
the work Is never done at a uniform rute. It
is done to the satisfaction of the Street Super
intendent and is supposed to be done under
the specifications governing public work." I
use the word supposed advisedly. -a s
In the recent trial of the Street Superintend
ent the Prosecuting Attorney '■ reasoned that
the same specifications governed the public
and private contract work. When called upon
by the Judge to give his reasons he alleged
that the contract read that the work was to be
done to the satisfaction of the Superintendent
of Streets, and also read from the general or- I
ders of the Supervisors the requirements for {
all work done ou accepted streets. The court
ruled against him because the street was not
accepted at the time the work was done. .>..
The people had entered into a private con
tract to put a main sewer and after the work
was done the Superintendent did not accept it
until all the owners had signed a paper that
they were satisfied with the job.
In his acceptance he stated that the work ;
was done according to specifications and to his
satisfaction. Yet on the trial his defense was
tUat there were no . specifications to follow ex
cept the people's Inclinations, and that there
fore the public specifications did not govern
on private work. The Judge did not under
stand and the lawyers did not,jpake him un
derstand that the sewering of the street was
an act precedent to its acceptance by the city.
The property-owners would probably resent
it if called upon to do the work again before
the street Is accepted. Yet under the law it
cannot be until the specifications, are fully
complied with. The people relied upon the
Street Superintendent, and they paid an in
spector, but wore then : compelled to accept
their own job. As a matter ©f fact, most of the
poor work is done under private contracts. : In
public contracts the money is due when the'
work iis completed, but . time payments, the

Supervisors has been refusing to grant many
of the permits for work, done under private
contract the contractors who live by such work
have been inserting in their contracts the
clause that no payments will be expected or
become due until the Board of Supervisors or
Mayor have formally accepted the street for
the City to maintain. Th'.s will be an improve
ment, but it does not give the people Justice.
Whut is wanted is a ,icrfectly impartial way
of doing the work, so that the payments shall
be uniform per front foot.
The communication will be considered
at the next meeting of the Street Com

LIFE AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
Thomas B. Everett's Story of the
Wild Craze in the Stock
Market.
Has a Floating Population of 10,000
and Is Producing $950,000 in
Gold Monthly,
Thomas B. Everett of Cripple Creek,
owner of tbe Mohawk Belie, Atlantic and
other mines, is at the Grand.
He formerly resided for some years in
El Dorado and Placer counties, and was
the Republican nominee in the latter in
1892 for member of tho Assembly.
Mr. Everett says the excitement at Crip
i pie Creek, Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo over the mining stocks of Cripple
Creek is intense. In some of these places
there are as many as four exchanges, and
several of them have two calls each a day.
"I never saw anything like it," he said,
"and it must result eventually in great in
jury to those who are gambling, but I do
not think it will in any way hurt legiti
mate mining. There was first one ex
change at Denver and another at Colo
rado Springs. Now there are four at Colo
rado Springs, one at Cripple Creek and one
at Pueblo; and now the Real Estate Ex
change at Denver has listed mines and is
having two calls a day.
"Hitherto the single exchange in Den
ver has handled as many as 1,800,000 shares
in a day, the original exchange at Cripple
Creek 800,000 shares in a day, and Lately
the four exchanges at Colorado SDrings
have handled as many as 2,500,000 shares
a day. It is strange how the excitement is
running.

for 2,000,000 shares, the par value of each
share being $1. A year a£jo tbe stock was
selling at 30 cents. * Now it is up to $2 05,
a par value lor the mine of over $2,000,000.
But I believe in this case that the mine is
really worth it. It is the biggest one at
Cripple Creek. Of course there are hun
dreds of properties on the stock market
that are worth but a fraction of what the
stock is selling for.
"There are eight camps in the Cripple
Creek dintrict, having, in all, a population
of about 20,000. The biggest is the camp
of Cripple Creek, with about 6000.
"About 4500 men are employed in the
district, and they are producing about
$950,000 in gold monthly. Some of the
mines are shipping an much as 300 tons of
ore a day each. The mill capacity is in
sufficient and other mills are going up.
"i presume there are over 100 paying
mines there. It is stated that there are
169 that would pay if the sejenite process
was used in treating the ores.
"The population is scattered over an area
of about six by six miles. Of the *0,000
people I presume about 10,000 are per
manent and the other half floating.
It was, at lirst, B very wild re
gion, but it h:is settled down a good
deal now. There is, ol course, an occa
sional shooting, as in all camps. The alti
tude is about 9000 feet, but it is not very
cold there, for the camps are protected by
high mountains.
"The probability is that Cripple Creek
will produce this year $9,000,000, and the
entire State $18,000,000. Colorado was orig
inally a gold State, and undoubtedly it is
destined to rank so in future. I look for it
to surpass California in gold. Then the
miners, farmers and cattlemen stand to
gether. There are no fights between them,
as in California. The cattlemen own
mines, the ranchmen do, too, aud the
miners, again, buy ranches and get inter
ested in cattle-growing. So they all work
hand in hand. There is no framing of op
posing laws.
'•One thing that greatly aids Cripple
Creek and all Colorado is the chtap rail
road rates. There are many roada, com
petition is strong and the people are aided
IB the development of the country. There
is an abundance of coal. Smelting is at a
low rate. There are many advantages
over most other regions. Ore, coal and
coke can be transported cheaply."
Mr. Everett was one of the organizers of
the California Miners' Association here.
He yesterday called on Jacob Webb, W. C.
Ralston and several others of his old
friends. They have been much interested
in his story of the condition of things at
Cripple Creek. He has already organized
a company here to develop Cripple Creek
properties.
Mr. Everett left here for the wild camp
of the RocKy Mountains in 1893.
SPLIT IN THE INSTITUTE
Demand Made for an Investiga
tion of the Pavilion Fair
Finances.
TROUBLE OVEE LICK FUNDS.
Members of the Mechanics' Institute
Hold a Turbulent Meeting—Feel
ing Runs High.
Forensic swords were drawn from their
scabbards and wielded right fiercely by
such members of the Mechanics' Institute
as attended the quarterly meetir.g held
last evening. After an hour or more of
such warfare H. Phillips threw an explo
sive into their midst in the form of the
following resolution:
WHEREAS.It is necessary for the protection
of the Mechanics' Intitute property, member
ship and organization that an investigation
should be forthwith made by a committee of
institute members into the finances of the
institute; into the giving: of official places
and of privileges connected with the
Mechanics Institute Annual Fair of
1595; into the alleged unconstitutionally
and impracticability of the preferential system
of voting for election of trustees; into the
alleged mismanagement of the funds of the
institute by trustees In the expenditure of
.$14,000 and odd, and the cutting off of im
portant rental income by the removal of the
reading-room and library of the institute
from their former position; into the loss of
some 3500 volumes to the institute during the
past live years, thiough theft and otherwise,
into large losses of money sustained through
the injudicious purchase of real estate at a
fraudulently excessive price and its subse
quent shrinkage in value; therefore be it
Resolved, That a committee of two life mem
bers, A. B. Spreckels and M. A. Wheaton, and
the following regular members, Jared C. Hoag
and J. T. McCrossen, are hereby appointed a
committeo of investigation, with full power to
investigate and report LacK to the next meet
ing.
Patrick Haley, who had shown a bellig
erent spirit prior to the introduction of
this bomb, deprecated the use of the same,
and said the strictures he had delivered
earlier m the evening applied, not to the
present board of trustees, but to those who
might follow.
Attorney Reed characterized the intro
duction of the resolution as a cowardly
act, and said that unless signed it should
be ignored.
Mr. Cuuiming spoke in the same vein,
declaring that he Had not a dime to show
for his four years' service on £b.e board.
On the contrary he had lost thousands.
Mr. Leggett said he courted rather than
feared investigation.
A vote on the adoption of the resolutions
resulted in an affirmative vote of 3 and
a negative of more than 80.
President Hallidie gave an earnest ad
dress before the close of the meeting, in
which he said that any honorable attempt
to bring about an investigation of his
record as an officer of the institute -would
have his hearty co-operation. He reported
the proceeds of the fair were $10,500.
Prior to his final stroke Mr. Phillips had
stirred up the members by an amendment
to the constitution requiring that vacan
cies in the board of trustees be tilled by a
direct vote of the members, instead of
tl:eir ratification or rejection of the nomi
nations made by the trustees. This
provoked a long and wordy war, in
which Mr. Phillips, Patrick Haley
and Mr. Mazy participated on one
side and Messrs. Royer, Cummings,
Plumo, Reed, Peat, Critch and Leggett on
the other. The claim was made by Mr.
.Phillips and his confreres that the present
constitution pave too great power in that
direction, while the others contended that
the trusteqp knew more about the personal
oualifications required for such service.
There were criminations and recrimina
tions.
Mr. Haley, who was a defeated candidate,
said the wishes of the members had beeu
thwarted as to choice of trustees by the
existing provision, and Mr. Gumming
"hurled back at him that he (Haley) had
succeeded in defeating Oscar Lewis, one of
the best qualified candidates ever nomi
nated by the trustees.
The amendment was lost by an over
whelming vote.
E. H. Cole and B. F. Garrett were
elected, there being but tsvo or three dis
senting votes, to rill the present vacancies
in the board.
C. C. Webb, Asa B. Wells, A. B. Spreck
els, L. B. PhillinK, J. T. McCrossen, J. C.
Hoag, M. A. Wheaton and Mr. Vogel
were nominated by the trustees, and A. S.
Hallidie, Mrs. Susan M. Theall, Patrick
Haley and B. F. Garreit, from the floor,
for trustees for the ensuing term. The
election will take place at the next
meeting.
The question of moving the reading
room from "the subterranean regions- to
its former quarters in the sky parlor," as
Reed put it, was lost, and a later one ask
ing the directors to consider the advisa
bility of such removal prevailed.
Mr. Peat moved that the trustees take
up the matter of the proper appropriation
of ihe Lick bequest for its original purpose
of expenditure for works on sciehco and
mechanics. The interest on the amount,
which was applied upon a debt, would
now reach nearly $9000, and should be
used for tne purpose designed by the tes
tator. The motion prevailed.
The largest sailing vessel in the world is
the Potosi, a German vessel built in the
yards at Lucklehborg and launched June
8 last. It is 426 feet 6 inches long, 52 feet
5 inches broad and 32 feet 9 inches deep.
It has a capacity of 6150 tons. There were
used in its construction 5,511,500 pounds
of iroh. It will make regular trips to the
western coast of South America for salt

would be required, which, if coupled to
pether, would roake a train more than
thr»e miles long. The Potosi carries
thirty-nine sails that are made of canvas
nearly two feet wide, and if all these pieces
of canvas were sewed together they would
make a strip nearly one mile and a half
long. The vessel can carry as many
people as there are in a city the size of
Bremen.
Balloons at the Chutea.-
The triple balloon ascension at the "shooting
the chute" grounds, on Haight street, at half I
past 3 this afternoon, is exciting a great deal
of interest in the City. It Is the first balloon
race ever given in the United States, and the
participants— Markebertc, 'VVeston and Burke —
are worked up to a great pitch of excitement.
The instant that the sky-scrapers leave the
earth the competition will begin, and Marke
berg promises to hold on with a strap by his
teeth. Weston thinks that one foot will oe
enough to support him, while Burke says that
walking on his iron bar will be easy enough.
Corny n<* Still in Jail.
-E. M. Comyns was before Judge Troutt yes
terday on habeas corpus, because he wanted to
get out of jail. Comyns assaulted a man who
is now in the German Hospital in such a con
dition that he cannot even swear to a com
plaint, and as a complaint must be filed within
a certain time, Comyns wants to be released
because that statutory period has elapsed. The
writ was taken under advisement.

SENTENCED TO DEATH
Frank Kloss Must Hang for the
Murder of William
Deady.
His Motion for a New Trial Finds
Little Favor in the Eyes of
the Court.
The death sentence has been passed on
Frank C. Kloss for the murder of William
Deady. A motion for a new trial made
upon a number of grounds and supple
mented by several affidavits was denied,
and Judge Bahrs sentenced the prisoner
to be hanged.
. . Among the affidavits presented was one
from Isaac Leipsic in which he repeated
the tale previously published of how he
had believed the verdict he rendered was
for life imprisonment and not one allow
ing the death penalty. This affidavit was
not allowed on ; file, as the court held that
Leipsic could not impeach his own verdict.
Fred Frye also had an affidavit telling
how Leipsic had come up to him in the
corridor of the hall and had remarked that
Kloss' life was saved, anyway, and hoyv
he, when told the real purport of his
verdict, announced that he had not in
tended to agree to such a result. This
affidavit was also thrown out on the
ground that it was based on hearsay.
Dr. Robbins came forward to tell how he
had treated Kloss after he had been hurt
in the Orpheum Theater, and how he was
of the opinion that no man taking to drink
after such an injury could retain bis
sanity. This third affidavit was also ruled
out because the defense had ample time to
call Dr. Robbins to the stand-if they had
wanted his testimony.
Then the prisoner got upon his feet and
made a long speech assailing the foreman
of the jury and repeating a great deal
which wa3 said by Leipsic — how the fore
man had forced the repentant juror to sign
an erroneous^, verdict, and how the entire
jury was prejudiced against him. His ad
dress to the court availed him but little,
however, and. at its conclusion the motion
was denied and Kioss was sentenced to be
hanged,. -.^"jV> ■ •^'-'V? '*!/,?»
Kloss' crime was committed April IS
last. J He entered a saloon on Hayes street
.one evening, and seeing Deady asleep near
the door, he said, ' "I'll wake him up,"
and then with an oath he drove a cheese
knife into Deady's throat. Deadybled to
death a very few minutes, and/Kloss is
now sentenced to die for the crime...-
Recent post-mortem examinations of the
bodies of the blind reveal the interesting
fact that in the nerves at the ends of the
fingers well-defined cells of gray matter
had formed, identical in substance and in
cell formation with the gray matter of the
brain.
