CHILD CRUSHED
UNDER A CAR,
Little Walton Manning
Meets With a Terrible
Death.
HIS MOTHER WATCHING.
She Saw Her Boy Smile and
Then Disappear Beneath the
Grinding Wheels.
WAS THEBE A WABNING BELL?
Ihe Motorman's Explanation— A Mis
sion Tragedy That Darkened a
Holiday Celebration.
Walton Manning. 8 years of age, son of
James W. Manning, an employe of the
Market-street Railway Company, who re
sides at 2614 Mission street, was crashed
to death beneath the wheels of car 1004
near the corner of Mission and Twenty
third streets at 8 o'clock last evening.
The little fellow was on an errand for
his mother when he met his shocking
death. His parents were seated near a
front window watching him as he crossed
the sidewalk and started toward the rail
road track.
He turned around and smiled at his lit
tle brother and sister who were playing on
the porch and then continued on his er
rand. He did not glance down the track,
however, and the noise of exploding bombs
drowned the sound of the electric car as it
bore down upon him.
Without looking to the right or left, he
turned to cross the track, and in an instant
the car struck him. Being a little boy, the
fender did not throw him from the track,
but on the contrary it helped to crush out
his life.
Thadey Begley, the motorman, had not
seen the boy on the track and was uncon
scious of the accident until the screams of
a number of lady passengers and the
lurches of the car as it crushed its victim
informed him as to what had happened.
He then put on the brakes, but before the
car came to a standstill the child's body
had been dragged and bumped over the
cobbles for fully 100 feet.
Mrs. Manning, the boy's mother, wit
nessed the accident from her window.
She rushed downstairs screaming, and
reaching the street implored the bystand
ers to save her precious boy ; to take him
from beneath the wheels that she might
try to save his life.
Her appeals were without avail, how
ever, and when the motorman and Martin
Quinlan, who had witnessed the accident,
attempted to lift the remains from under
neath the car they found that the rear
wheels were resting on the child's body
and it could not be removed. Try as they
would, they could not remove the mangled
remains from beneath the wheels. The
car was then moved forward over the body.
It seemed a cruel thing to do, but there
was no help for it, and trie remains were
recovered from their awful position. A
sheet was then procured, and after care
fully wrapping the body it was carried to
the side of the street and tbe Coroner's
ollice was notified.
Deputy Coroner J. G. Tyrrell and Mes
senger T. Smith hurried to the scene that
the body of the little boy might be re
moved before a large crowd congregated.
Fragments of the poor crushed flesh and
bone were found here and there by Mes
senger Smith, who walked along the track
with a lantern the entire distance the
body had been dragged.
As the Coroner's wagon started away
Mrs. Manning swooned away. She was
carried into her home by her husband and
a bystander. She is prostrated with grief
and the father is also heartbroken over the
death of his oldest child. •
"No bell was sounded to warn the child
that a car was approaching," said Martin
Quinlan last night. "I was standing on the
porch of my residence, 2021 Mission street,
at the time of the accident and am posi
tive that if the bell had been sounded Wal
ton Manning would now be alive and well.
My Httle daughter, Irene, was standing on
the sidewalr just in front of the place
where the boy was first struck. She says
that the motorman was busily engaged
watching some children set off fireworks
and was not looking ahead of his car as he
should have been doing."
Thadey Begiey, the motorman, was ar
rested by Sergeant John Martin. He was
taken to the City Prison and released on
his own recognizance by Captain Gillen.
Begley, who lives at 10 California ave
nue, said : "I did not see the child. I felt
a jolt and then some people on the side
walk shouted to me that I had run over a
boy. I immediately stopped the car.
That is all I know about it."
MUSICIANS ARE AT WAR,
Objections Made to Letter-Car
riers and to Soldiers
and Sailors.
The Russian Band at the Chutes to
Receive Attention From the
Musicians' Union.
Disclaiming all desire to De aggressive,
the local musicians' union has yet three
interesting battles on its hands, which it
is claimed mast be fought as measures of
self-de/ense and protection.
What has aroused the greatest feeling
and is in consequence enlisting the great
est attention of the union at the present
time is the Letter-carriers' band. This is
composed of the gray-habited mercuries
in the service of Uncle Sam who have de
veloped their musical predilections to an
extent that permits them to enter the
field of competition with regular profes
sional bands.
While the members of the union declare
that they are always pleased to discover
and encourage musical talent, they con
sider ii a great injustice that men earning
regular and fair salaries in the Govern
ment's employ should seek to extend the
•lfht hours of their labor. at> decreed by
law, and enter into competition with men
whose earnings are often of a precarious
character.
One of the latest inatancea wherein
members of the union, all of whom are
professionals, were deprived of an oppor
tunity to augment their incomes was in
connection with tbe Sharkey-Corbett
fight. Negotiations were in progress be
tween Mi. Groom of the National Athletic
Club and some of the union men for ihe
musical portion of the Pavilion pugilistic
function, and suddenly, without notice or
apparent cause, they were dropped.
An inquiry by some of the individuals
who had lost an engagement resulted in
their learning that the letter-carriers who
followed music as a lucrative pastime on
the side had agreed to give their services
without cost in return for the privilege of
viewing the fistic encounter. This was the
straw, and it was this which crystallized
the sentiment against the mail-carriers
and determined the union to take action
in the matter.
Another disturbing factor was the ad
vent of the Russian band of fourteen musi
cians, which has been engaged at the
chutes. It was the general opinion that
the regular band would be dispensed with,
and on the strength of this supposition a
letter was written by the secretary of the
union to the manager of the chutes asking
him what his intentions in the matter
were. To this came a reply suggesting a
conference, at which the situation could be
discussed. Yesterday was the first ap
pearance of the Russian band, but in view
of the fact that all of the former union
musicians were also engaged for the day
it is hoped that there may be no friction
arise from this quarter.
It is believed that tbe Russian band
will be used as an ocular attraction rather
than for dispensing music for Jhe chute
audiences. Should such be the case there
will be no ground lor complaint on the
psrt of the unionists.
Tbe third matter that is agitating local
musicians is the persistent competition
met with on the part of the bands con
nected with the regular army and navy
service. Heretofore every local effort to
ameliorate this evil has proved futile.
On Tuesday afternoon there will be a
meeting of the directors of the union and
George Wallenrod, Superintendent of the Alcazar Building, Who Committed
Suicide in the Electrician's Room Yesterday.
these three propositions will be discussed
and means devised to eliminate these dis
cords from the musical atmosphere.
At this meeting a letter will be addressed
to Postmaster McCoppin calling his at
tention to tbe letter-carriers' band and the
double-action, revenue-creating tendency
that they have displayed, and he will be
asked to use his authority to take the
postal musicians out of the field of compe
tition with the professionals.
A committee will be appointed to confer
with the chutes' manager in reference to
the status of the Russian band.
And a committee will be appointed
whose duty it will be to place before Con
gress in an appropriate manner the evils
alleged to result from the competition of
bands connected with the regular army
and navy service throughout the country.
Other unions throughout the United
States are preparing to co-operate in this
matter.
HE SPARED THE BISHOP.
How a Steamboat Captain Tried to
Check Hit Mate's Profanity.
Speaking of swear stories, there is a
mate on the Mississippi who stands pre
eminent among his fellows from St. Paul
to New Orleans for his versatile, sustained
and forcible profanity.
On a recent trip the boat stopped at a
way landing, and as the roustabouts took
to the gangplank at a trifle too leisurely
pace the mate opened his mouth and the
atmosphere became livid with sulphur
and brimstone.
"For heaven's sake, Mike!" exclaimed
the captain in a hoarse whisper from the
boiler-deck, "for heaven's sake, stow that!
Why, man, Bishop is aboard ! Stow it,
man, stow it till we pass Gray Duck, where
he gets off."
A big pile of sacks was to go off, and as
the mate stood there with his every faculty
literally benumbed by the restraint put
upon him, the darkies" at first worked in
silent astonishment and then began dis
tinctly to shirk. It is a well-recogniz a d
fact all up and down the Mississippi that
niggers can't be made to work without be
ing "cussad," and this fact soon came
home to the mate with telling force.
Grasping his stick with a firmer clutch
he raised his big, hoarse voice and fairly
thundered:
"Hi, there, you nigger sons! Get along
there, yon blank, blank, blank! You
Know what kind of a blank I mean. Con
found you, get along now!"
And passengers on that boat say the
darkies looked like black streaks as they
moved up and down the gangplank after
that, while the reverend Bishop, who had
come to the rail, looked on, nearly burst
ing his sides with laughter.— New "Orleans
Times-Democrat.

• l', You d °n't say. What was the cause of
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 5, 1896.
GEO, WALLENROD
ENDS HIS LIFE,
Sends a Bullet Through
His Brain at the Al
cazar.
NO CAUSE IS KNOWN.
Was in His Usual Health and
Spirits a Few Minutes
Before.
SAID HE WAS GOING HOME.
But Turned Into the Electrician's
Room, Looked in a Mirror and
Pulled the Trigger.
George Wallenrod, superintendent of the
Alcazar building, committed suicide yes
terday afternoon by blowing out bis brains.
The act occurred in the seclusion of the
Alcazar electrician's office in the building
at some time in the afternoon not exactly
known.
No reasonable cause is known. His son
George, • who is assistant cashier of the
theater, says his father's only trouble that
; he knows of was a physical one, a case of
catarrh that caused him the loss of sleep.
At about a quarter of 7 o'clock A. Gru
ner, the electrician of the building, accom
panied by O. C.'Grindell, the electrician of
the theater, and Andrew Hare, the janitor,
went down the narrow flight of stairs lead
ing from the street into the electrician's
room, which is under the sidewalk in front
of the building. "•
Gruner noticed that the door was ajar
and remarked the fact to the others as he
pushed it back and all three entered.
The room was dimly lighted by means
of the thick glass in the sidewalk over
head, but it was sufficient to reveal the
body lying outstretched, face downward,
upon the floor.
Gruner uttered an exclamation of sur
prised alarm. The others leaned forward.
"It loots like the old man." said Hall.
The electric-lights were turned on. !
They found that it was indeed "the old
man," as they were accustomed to call
him, as a term of endearment— for old
George Wallenrod was loved by all who
knew him.
The body was cold and stiff, and had
evidently been dead many hours.
A cheap imitation Smith & Wesson re
volver lay near him; a chair, that he had
evidently grasped when falling, lay across
his body. His life's blood and brains had
poured out about him on the floor.
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
! George Wallenrbd left his son in the thea
ter, wearing the' appearance of his usual
good spirits. He went into the bar which
is connected with the theater and took a
drink of whisky and remarked to the bar
keeper that he was going home to dinner.
From what followed it is supposed that
he went straight to the little underground
room and, standing before a looking-glass
that is fastened against the wall, pointed
the revolver at the center of his forehead
and fired. The pistol dropped at his right
band and as he fell his hand grasped the
back of a ch»ir which had a fixed place
under the glass. The body swayed around
and fell face downward across the floor and
the chair fell on top of it, and George
Wollenrod had made Irs exit— one of the 1
last men in the world that those who i
knew him would have suspected of volun
tarily making this tragic end.
No one was better known in theatrical
and business circles. He was one of the
"old timers" and no man Can name an
enemy of his. He bad none. He was un- j
invariably cherished as a friend— a kind, |
considerate, genial friend a good com- j
pan ion.
He superintended' the construction of
the Alcazar building as one of the firm of !
Wallenrod, Osbourne «fe Stock well. He was
manager of the theater for the first ' few
years afterward and since was superin
tendent of the entire building.
There is no suspicion of there being any
thing, wrong with Mr. Wallenrod's finan
cial . affairs. Just before . Mr. de Young
left, for the East, a few weeks ago, his
books were examined and found to be all
right. > / ■ , • •; - -.:
= Mr. Wallenrod was 65 years of age. He
leaves a widow and three children, George
W. Jr., assistant treasurer of the Alcazar
Theater; Lee, in the employ of the .Market
street Railway Company; and a married
daughter, Mrs. Gerhard.
The tragedy came upon them with the
force of a terrible blow.
The body was removed to the undertak
ing parlors of H. C. Porter & Co., Eddy
street. The few personal effects, after be
ing examined by the Coroner, were turned
over to the members of the family.
Mr. Wallenrod was a native of Leipsic,
Germany, his birth having occurred June
23, 1835. He was but a child when his par
ents reached New York and had only at
tained his fifteenth year when he came to
California.
After working in the mines with varying
success he took to the hotel business in
California and Nevada. In 1868 he settled
permanently in this City and commenced
a mercantile career. Alter five years as a
merchant he entered the employ of Charles
de Young in the business department of
the San Francisco Chronicle, where he re
mained for ten years.
He was entrusted with the superinten
dency of the erection 0/ the Alcazar build
ing, and upon its completion assumed the
management. The opening night of that
pretty place of amusement was an event
in the theatrical circles of San Francisco,
the leading role of the performance being I
taken by Miss Emma Nevada. For four
years Mr. Wallenrod was the efficient
manager of that theater.
Mr. Wallenrod was personally agree
able and affable in manner, entertaining
in conversation and of a genial, sociable
and kindly disposition. As a result, he
was a general favorite with all who came
much in contact with him, especially
among the old pioneers of E! Dorado. He
wae a member of the Knights of Honor, of
the Improved Order of Red Men and of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
He held an honorary membership in the
latter organization, conferred on him by
reason of tbe many kindnesses and cour
tesies extended to the various G. A. R.
posts in this City and vicinity. He was
ever ready to aid by benefits at tbe thea
ter under his control and otherwise the
organization, and so merited the kindly
feeling and appreciation of the old veteran
soldiers.
A SIGNAL PROM MARS.
A Question Unanawered, Perhaps XJn-
answerable.
Year after yea*-, when politics ceases
from troubling, there recurs the question
as to the existence of intelligent, sentient
life on the planet Mars. The last outcrop
of speculations grew trom the discovery
by M. Javelie of a luminous projection on
the southern edge of the planet. The
light was peculiar in several respects, and,
among other interpretations, it was sug
gested that the inhabitants of Mars were
flashing messages to the conjectured in
habitants of the sister planet, earth. No
attempt at reply was made; indeed , sup
posing our astronomer royal, with our
best telescopes, transported to Mars, a red
riot of fire running arhwart the whole of
Ix)ndon would scarce be visible to him.
The question remains unanswered, prob
ably unanswerable.
There is no doubt that Mars is very lite
the earth. Its days and nights, its sum
mers and winters differ only in their rela
tive lengths from ours. It has land and
oceans, continents and islands, mountain
ranges and inland seas. Its joiar regions
•re covered with snows, and it has an at
mosphere and clouds, warm sunshine and
gentle rains. The spectroscope, that sub
tle analyst of the most distant stars, gives
us reason to believe that the chemical ele
ments familiar to us here exist on Mars.
The planet, chemically and physically, is
so like the earth that, as protoplasm, the
only living material we know came into
existence on the earth, there is no great
difficulty in supposing that it came into
existence on Mars.
If reason be able to guide us, we know
that protoplasm, at first amorphous and
unintegrated, has been guided on this
earth by natural forces into that marvel
ous series of forms and integrations we
call the animal ana vegetable kingdoms.
Why, under the similar guiding forces on
Mars, should not protoplasm be the root of
as fair a branching tree of living beings,
and bear as fair a fruit of intelligent, senti
ent creatures?— Saturday Review.
Scorching Wonld Be Too Suggestive.
Two anxious readers write to the Jour
nal from tbe beautiful suburb of Philadel

BELLBOYS QUIT
THE BALDWIN,
Say They Were Asked to
Work Eighteen Hours
a Day.
OBJECT TO THEIR FOOD.
Numerous Grievances Cited, but
Only One Which Caused
the Strike.
PROPRIETOR STONE IXPLAIN3.
He Says a Few Boys Who Were Hay-
ing an Easy Time Were
Discharged.
A number of the bellboys of the Bald
win Hotel are on a strike. Just how many
of the lads are standing ujion their rights
it is difficult to ascertain, owing to the
remarkable variance in the stories of the
principals to the controversy, but it is
somewhere between five and seventeen,
with the chances in favor of a number
nearer the latter figure.
The grievances of the "bellhops," as de
tailed by C. F. McKenzie, one of the strik
ers, are numerous.
"Last month," said McKenzie, "there
was a reduction of wages all through the
house. We were reduced from $15 a
month to $12 50 and we made no com
plaint whatever. The 'grub' there isn't
fit to eat and last week we got up a peti
tion to have the fare improved. The
bottom seems to have fa'lrn out of the
petition and we heard nothing from it and
the 'grub* remained 'rotten.' But still
we didn't kick.
"To-night, when we went on duty, the
head bellman told us that hereafter our
hours would be twelve hours one day and
eighteen hours tae next. That would
leave us only six hours to sleep on the
days when we had our long shifts. Before
this we have been working twelve hours
one day and six hours the next. We
thought this was long enough, and we
couldn't stand working eighteen hours.
''We have no kind of an organization,
but we all clubbed together in the assem
bly-room on the first floor and decided we
didn't want to work at the Baldwin. We
had no kick at Mr. Lake, the manager.
He is as good a man as a hoy ever worked
for, but he gets his orders from Mr. Stone,
the proprietor, and he has to obey. We
knew what Stone's plan was. lie was
gome to take the boys off tbe doors and,
by having us work double time, reduce
the force. We decided ail we wanted
was our pay, and we made no other de
mand. Stone tried to get a chance to taik
to us separately, but we told him if he had
anything to say to us to say it to all of us.
He then refused to pay us because we had
left without putting boys in our places.
He told us to come around to-morrow
morning, though."
The story told by Stone differs wonder
fully from that of the boys. He says that
six boys were discharged because they re
fused to obey order*. He denied that he
had asked the boys to work eighteen
hours, but admitted he had arranged to
dispense with the services of some of the
boys by prolonging the hours of others.
He declared that this in no case exceeded
twelve-hour shifts, including two hours for
meals. He ascribed the trouble to the tact
that the boys had been having such an
easy time that now, when retrenchments
are in order, they thought they would be
the first ones let out- In proot of his
statement that the bellboys were well
treated he called a uniformed lad to him
and inquired :
"Are you ever overworked?"
T c boy bowed and said with emphasis,
"No, sir-ee."
Stone says he will pay all the boys to
day, and only failed to do so last night be
