DISTILLERY WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Six Thousand Barrels of Spirits

by the f lames.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23— A tire that dirt
fully $100,000 damage broke ont shortly
before 5 o'clock this evening in the ware
house of the Ravenswood Distillery Com
pany in North St. Louis.
Two employes were on the fourth floor
of the seven-stcry warehov.se roiling a
barrel of alcohoi from an upper tier, when
the bung new out and a stream of alcohol
covered a lantern. In an instant flames
sprang up, seriously burning C. J. Murphy
about the face. A general fire alarm was
turned in, but the work of the firemen was
useless as the 6000 barrels of alcohol,
bourbon, rye and spirits stored in the
building fed the flames, and within thirty
minutes the entire warehouse was a ror.r
ing furnace from cellar to roof. The dis
tilie-y adjoining was saved. At 7 o'clock
the tire w.is under control. The distillery
has not Dean in operation for some time,
owing to a full stock on hand, and the
business consisted in shipping orders.

GAINING FRIENDS
FOR THE ROAD
Result of the Campaign
for the Sacramento
Boulevard.
Sentiment in Ou lying Dis
tric'.s Largely in Favor of
the Project.
Good Roads Committees Find Few
Opposed to the Model
H'ghw?y.
Special Dispatch to The Call
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 23.— The attitude
of some of the people in i lie vicinity of
Gait toward the Fol-som boulevard project, I
! if correctly reported, is beyond the un
derstanding of thos. 1 wh > are engaged In
making this light for progress, and, inci
j aentally, to save the good name of Sacra
i mento. The reports from that section are
i not as unanimous as they might be; in
! deed, the impression now prevails that !
1 should the vote be taken to-morro<v a
bare majoriiy would be fjuntl on the
right side. No one seemed able to ac
count for tiiis remarkable state of affairs,
so The Call corresp nden; sought an in
terview wi'h Don It.iy of the firm of
Whittaker & Ray, who are very much in-
I terested in the affairs of the people in the
southern portion of the county. Mr. Ray,
; when asked how tho people of his section
| stood, replied:
"No one can say with any certainty
1 what the feeling is. The farmers around
| here have been very busy, and I do not
i believe that tbev have given the matter
much thought."
When asked if it was true that his firm
was against the project 'jo ?aid:
"We have not expressed ourselves to
any one, and whatever you have heard
j has been based upon nothing said by in.
! The Folsom Road Commissioners sent
word to me and asked if I would arrange
1 lor a meeting here, ami 1 did so. I have
I attended to the porting of their notices,
'■ and in other ways have informed the
j people that the meeting was going to be
he.il, and for their own information and
profit they should turn out and hear what
the speakers had to say. If there has
been any one speaking for the people of
Gait on this matter they have done so
without authority, and have had no right
to give private opinions as public ones.
When the proposition is presented to us
and we hear what there is to be said the
i minds of our people will then be made
! up, and 1 will then be able to tell you
j what the sentiment i». Until that time
j comes neither myself nor any one else
i can do so. I have received a great many
i letters Irom my friends in Sacramento,
i and 1 have toKl them all that I would do
| my best toward getting the people out at
j the meeting they are j:oing to hold, and
j when they do come out I think you need
i have no tear of the people of Gait taking
i a view different from that of other tax
j payers ot Sacramento County."
bucn expressions from Mr. Ray will i
i have a tendency to destroy the effect of
j the reports heretofore circulated, and
i which placed Gait in the procession.
David Reese of Sheriff Johnson's office,
•who has for many years been a resident of
Florin and who drives out to his Home
every evening, said to Tue Call corre
spondent :
"Every day that parses brings new sup
porters to the Folsom road proposition.
The people out my wav were not very en
thusiastic about it at first, but since they
have been talKing the matter over and the
map in Sunday's Call demonstrated that
in :*!! probability the road would be ex
| tended through tnai section the sentiment
has crown very strong, and 1 believe that
before election time the vote will be all
right around Florin. I have talked to a
teat ninny \ eop'e and I find that to be
the trend of public sentiment."
Dr. McKee of Elk Grove, in reply to a
j question by The Call correspondent, said
| that no particular canvass had been made
) in hi* locality, and umi. there was no one
could tell how the vole was going.
Supervisor Jenkins from that locality
was outspoken in opposition to the
scheme. He said :
"If the State wants to build a road let it
go ahead and build it, but lor the county
10 contribute toward it and then give up
all control of the road is a concession 1
will not favor nor vote for."
Mr. Jenkins proclaimed that if the ques
tion was defeated in his locality he would
be pleased to take the credit for it. Elk
j Grove will be a good battlefield for the
i contention which id now being waged in
j Sacramento County between progression
and silurianisni. Last night's meeting of
the hiehway board was well attended, and
when the vote was taKen but few were
found around the Slough House who were
not in favor of sustaining thb fair name of
Sacramento County. Tim board is doing
great work.
The Evening Bee voices the sentiment
of the people here in the following edi
torial of its last issue:
The Beedesirtß to make acknowledgment
beiore the people oi t..e entire State <>'. the
public spirit which the Department of High*
wmvs, as represented by Commissioners Mars
deu Manson, J. K. Price and W. I, Asiie is
snowing in the campaign for the Stale high
way from this city to Fol-iom. These gentle
men «re doing telling work for this project.
They have started forth to speat to the tax
payers of the county and to show them that
melr interest lies in making possible the con
struction of this twenty. mile stretch of model
road. Strictly speaking, they did not need to
turn a hand in this campaign ; the work which
they ar-' performing i-> not set down as part of
their official du;ie-. But with an enthusiasm
which is refreshing to behold in a depart
ment ot the State Government— as re
freshing, we might add, as it is un
usual—the H:gnwny Commissioners have
jumped into the brunch, end are battling for
the road night and day, regardless of weather
or personal comfort. The construction of the
Foisom highway is not a matter of local con
cern alone— it is a movement in which the en»
tire State has an interest, .or we thoroughly
believe Its construction wli! mean the start of
an era of good roads throughout the Stale. So,
much is tins county will owe In gratitude to
Commissioners Manson. Asiie and Price i. the
road becomes a reality, the debt will not be
nlone urns- it will be the debt of ihe entire
StEte. The Bee commends the*e enthusiastic
and intelligent gentltmen to ihe mi si cordial
treatment and most thoughtful attention of
those taxpayers among wuom they will move
during the next two weeks iv the interest of
the Foisom highway.
THE CHARTER-MAKEE3.
Peuslona for Firemen and I'o'ice and
Powers of the Mayor.
The charter-making committee of one
hundred, with a quorum of twenty-three
members present, met last night.
DJlegates John M. Raymond and W. J.
Cuihbertson having resigned, the Mayor
appointed John H. Quinn and Arthur
Town in their places.
The lirst business was the notice of re
consideration given by E. P. E. Troy at
the last meeting which was to tne effect of
abolishing pensions to policemen except
when disabled in the performance of their
duties. Delegate Troy fought hard for
his point, but the section dealing with
pensions was referred bjck to the commit
ee with instuctions to extend the pen
sion benefits to firemen as well as police
men.
This was more than Troy had calculated
on and in a fit of anger he moved that all
hod-carriers whose spinal columns had
become crocked after twenty -five years'
labor be also pensioned. A hearty laugh
greeted this humor of a defeated recon
sideration mover.
The consideration of the report of the
committee on executive department was
then taken up.
The first section which dealt with the
Mayo:, was short, and easily disposed 01.
It rend as lollow s:
Section 1. The chief executive officer of the
city and county of San Francisco shall be
designated the Mayor. He shall be elected
und hold his office for the period of two years.
He may appoint a secretary, who shall" hold
tiis position at the pleasure of the Mayor.
This was pas3ed, but Major B. Mc-
Kinne objected that tiiere w«« no legal
qualification for this officer. This discov
ery was ihe cause of one hour's discus
sion and it was finally agreed to insert
the words: "An elector of the city and
County of Fan Francisco."
Section 3, which dealt with contracts
and franchise?, had this amendment
added:
He (the Mayor) *hall have power to postpone
final action up n any franchise which may
be passe. 1 by the Board ol J-UDervisors until
sucn proposed franchise shall be ratified or
rejected by a majority of tho voters at the
next general election.

belonged. Tiie palll carers -were: C. S.

and li. S. Ma mi n;.
TO LOSE THEIR STARS.
The Chinese Consul May Dis
charge His Mongolian
Police.
They Would Not Assist in Finding
the Assailants of Priest
Chow Xung.
The eisht Chinese "policemen," who
have served the Chinese Con-ul for come
time pust, are likely to lose their heads, so
to speak. They are accused of csnduct "un
becoming ollicer3," and unless some
thing unforeseen happens they will be de
prived of their "stars" in the next lew
days.
Ihe rather sudden determination to do
away with the men dates b.ick to the
night ol the 17th ins?., when Chow Kung,
a Chinese pr.est, was attacked by two
highbinders, and, afrer being stabbed
thirteen times, w.i^ robbed of considera
ble money and jewelry.
Detectives Gibson and Wren were de
tailed to arrest the a-sai!ants, nud after
considerable irutible they apprehended
two well-known highbinders aud chargeu
tlipru with ihe crime.
When taken before their supposed vic
tim the iatter would not identity them,
clainii g thai he was unable to say
Whether or not tliey were the right men.
Notwithstanding the refusal to identify
them tne detective found sufficient evi
dence against them to warrant their b.'ing
locked up, and they wer« taken to tne
City Prison and ti.eir names registered in
the "small" book.
After being informed of the assault the
Cinnese Consul summoned his "'iiol'ce
men" and ordered them to investigate
tue ca*e with a view of nscerti.ining
whether or not the imprisoned Chinee
were the asailants of the woundsd pnes;.
For some rea-.on wh:ch is not clear io
the Consul the "policemen," insteal of
endeavoring to find out if the prisoners
are the right men, threatened the priest
with violence if lie interfered with them.
Tne unfortunate pries , it is claimed, fear
ing that they would kill him, agreed not
to prosecute his assailants providing that
they promised not to molest him.
In some wav the Consul learned that
his "policemen" .'iad sealed the lips of the
wounded priest, and he summoned the
men before him. After Considerable
questioning ."he men admitted that they
had no re-pect for the priest and an
nounced thai they would not lend their
aNSistunce in establishing the identity of
his assailants. The Consul, it n said,
seriously upbraided them for their con
due:, and threatened to "break" them if
:hey persisted in shielding the suspects.
Since then they have refused to assist
the detectives in obta'ning evidence
against the iniDttsoned Cninese, and
openly announced that they would do all
in their power to proteci them.
The Consul is up in arms ag«inst them,
and it is expected that he will revoKe their
"commissions" in the next tew days.
Heretofore the Mongolian policemen
have been of great assistance to the Con-
Bui as well as the regular police force in
ferreting out crim<* committed in the
Chinese quarter. Wliv they refused to
act in tho ca c of the wounded priest
se ems strange except that they regard
him as an "outcast," as one of their num
ber expressed it.
DEATH BY MALPRACTICE
A Young Married Woman
Passes Away in a
Doctor's Office.
The Coroner Stops the Funeral and
Unearths a Very Serious
Crime.
The body of Mrs. Ida Coakley of Irving
ton, Alunieda County, was stopped at the
ferry at the foot oi Market sireet yester
day afiernoon while being taken on board
the ferry-boat by Underlaker Hagan of
Valencia ttreet, preparatory to being

FIGURING ON A
GOOD REFEREE
Billy Delaney and Eddie
Grauey Will Select a
Man Monday Alight
Oaklanders Will Back Jeffries
to Whip Choynski, Who
Will Ec a Favorite.
If Jeffries Should Win He Will Be
Matched to Tight Tom
Sharkey.
The managers of the pugilists Joe
Choynski and Jim Jeffries will select a
referee on Monday evening, and for the
good of the sport it is hoped that a man
who thoroughly understands the game
and who is reliable will be selected.
Choynski said yesterday that he ex
pects to le^ve this city on Wednesday
next for New Orleans, as he is scheduled
by the TuloneClub of New Orleans to fight
Alexander Greggains ten rounds on the
evening of December 16.
Greggains is daily looking for a letter
from the secretary of the Tuiane Club,
which he expects will contain a first-class
passenger's ticket to the East. He has an
idea, however, that the club will not for
ward him his traveling- expenses until it
hears the result of Choyn-ki's disoute
with Jeffries. In case the Los Angeles
heavy-weight should win on Tuesday
evening next, the proposed match be
tween Choynski and Greggains may be de
clared off.
The Oikland sports are very sweet on
Jtffnes and they will back him strongly
to whip Choynski. Billy Delaney, who is
managing Jeffries, is very confident that
his charge will surprise many of the
knowing one-. Dalaney is authority for
the statement that Jeffries is a very much
improved man since be fouirht Hunting in
the Mechanics' Pavilion, andean now use
both left and right to good advantage.
Should the powerful heavy- weigh 1 , from
Lis Angeles defeat Cuoynski he wilt be
(. ffered good inducements to fight Tom
Siiarkey. A contest between the sailor
and Jeffries on merits should prove to be a
very exciting event.
The National Club is figuring on match
ing Billy Gallagher and Frank McCon
neil. The last-named pu?ilist is a pupil
of Alex Greg^ains, and according to all
hc< ount- he is a pretty tough customer.
Gallagher t« matched to fight Danny
Needham in Vallejo some time in the lat
ler part of this month, and McConnell is
booke.i by the Acme Club of Oakland to
fis^ht Lon Agnew on the 16ih of De
cember.
Tiie San Francisco Athletic Club held
is monthly entertainment last evening
at Us clutrcom on Sixth street, and alter
the members witnes-ed several interest
ing wrestling and loxmg bouts between
local talent the sport terminated with a
rattling six-round contest between the
iisrhtweighta Grantield and King.
P -ter Jackson is ttill living In hopes of
signing articles lor a fiarht with any of the
hrst-ciass pugilists. Ho expects to see
CboynsJCi declared a winner over Jeffries,
and then a match between Peter the tireat
at.d, California Joe will be in order.
Tom Sharkey said a few evenings ago
that if J«ck«on was looking lor big game
he would .iccomuiodate him. Sharkey
hiis now a swell bunk account <md can al
foid to make a side bet ..f say $1000 in case
Jackson frill take him on. There are a
large number of sports in thi- city who
would like to see Kharkey and Jackson at
war, as the famous colored champion can
b • relied upon to give a good account of
himseli in any club so far as fighting is
concerned.

Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study
of stomach trouble?, says: All forms of
indigestion really amount to the same
thing, that is, failure to completely digest
the food eaten; no mutter whether the trou-
ble i« acid, dyspepsia or sour stomach,
belcning of wind, nervou3 dyspepsia or
lo>sof flesh and appetite; a person will
not have any of them if the stomach can
be induced by any natural, harmless way
to thoroughly digest what is eaten, and
this can be done by a simple remedy which
I have tested in hundreds of aggravated
cases with complete succes . The remedy
is a combination of fruit and vegetable
essences, pure aseptic papsin and golden
seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting
tablets, and sold by druggists under the
name of S. uart's Dypepsia Tablets. One
or two of these tao.ets snouH be taken
after meals, and allowed to dissolve in tne
mouth, and mingling with the food in the
stomacn digpsts it completely before it
hns time to ferment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain ol
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
3000 grains of meat, eggs and similar
wholesome foods.
It is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better Known by people
generally it would be a national" blessine.
as we are a nation of dyspeptics, and
nine-tenths of all diseases owe their
origiti to imperfect digestion and nutri-
tion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine. But a 50-cent
package will do more real good for a
weak atomach than $50 worth of patent
medicines, and a person has the satisfac-
tion of knowing just what he is putting
into his stomach,' whlcn he does not

Some time ago Mr. Hittell, pioneer,

It is a well-known fact that tailors experience more suffering from headache* J
than any other class of industrial ' workers. The" constant buzz of the sewing
machines and the heavy atmosphere caused by the heating • apparatus used for/
pressing and sponging clothing are responsible for this in a measure. A well-known:
merchant tailor of Philadelphia, a prominent man in his community, says: "For-
over ten years I was a 'presser,' then I became a partner. of the establishment with:
which lam now connected. Having charge of the pressing and ironing department,
I am compelled to spend most of my time in a. room that is overheated and where the
atmosphere is very heavy. This resulted in giving me frequent headaches, and I
sometimes suffered great torture. The medicines prescribed by my physician brought
me no relief, and I was on the verge of despair when a friend advised me to try
Ripans Tabules. I did so, and the result was that the firrt two Tabules wrought
an almost magic change. I escape headaches now, and no matter how hot the room
Is one Tabule does away with all suffering. I always carry some with me for
an emergency, and can sincerely recommend them."
