THE SOLID NINE.

the Board.
BARRY'S THTCLT WARNING.
He Becomes Frightened and Tel!s His
Copartners in Municipal Jobs to
Beware of the Injunction.
Wasting the People's Money
on Shag Rock.
Rushing Through a Batch of Railway
Franchises — Two Previously
Granted Vetoed by the
Mayor -Hand- Bills.
A meeting of Hie Hoard of Supervisors
was-.beld teat night instead of Monday even
ing, on account cf Thanksgiving interven
ing the week before, and interfering with
the necessary number (if days required for
printing resolutions. All of the hoard were
present with the exception of Boyd and
Noble. Supervisor Wright presided inthe
absence ol Mayor Pond.
The rse>siou was a long one and consid
erable business was transacted. Although
the " solid nine " missed one of its members
the ting was out in full force and made it
power felt as usual. Supervisor Kllert tried
td right it, but found himself suldled like
""■inroad, the sailor.
BAKIiY KKUJIITKXKD.
The Cist misstep made by the ring was
the reading of a resolution awarding the
printing contract to the Mock Report. As
soon aa the resolution was read "Supervisor
Barry jumped excitedly to his feet and ex
claimed r "Wo can't act on that to-night.
How dru* tire resolution get there:* We
brave been eujuimd by Uie court from act
ing in that matter." The resolution was
laid aside, the ring considering their own
sr'.fe'.y— not wishing to go so far as to brava
tne strong arm of the law, whose minister
ing influence in the way of a corrective they
seemed to have ueitlier the courage uor the
Inclination to feel.
A eonininnicati. n wns npxt read from the
Beard of Health, statins that at a meeting
held during the day to consider matters
pettaiaing to the present condition of the
Twenty-sixth street (or Small-pox) Hospital,
it was found that there was a lack of funds
to properly care for the eight lepers and
four cases of small-pox in the hospital. The
communication said it was decided to make
tiie City Physician or a suDstitute attend to
the cases, lt was further resolved that if
the necessary funds could not be raised to
run the hospital it would have to be closed.
rS protest was also tiled by the Board of
Health agaiust the purchase of Shag Hock
as a site for a small-pox hospital ou the
ground that it was unlit for any such pur-
I ose.
The communication was referred to the
Health and Police Committee.
SHAG HOCK.
Clerk Russell read the report of the Health
and Police Committee, in which it was re
con mended that Shag Reek be purchased as
a site fot the small-pox hospital.
Supervisor Ellert was on his feet in an
instant, and in an underground voice said:
'I object to that part of the report. The
Health and Police Committee did not re
commend anything of the kind. 1 was
present at its meeting, end it only recom
mended ihe City Surveyor to investigate
the ctst of grading tho rock. 1 dont know
whoha- clanged the report," and Ellert
interrogated with his eyes the other mem
bers of the committee. Barry slunk back
in his scat and looked shamefaced. He had
.Bet .1 wora ts sny. Pilster rose and managed
;ifr.r tnnch srumbling to inform the Hoard
that the committee had met during the day
and adopted the course mentioned.
■Ellen— l was net notified of that meeting.
Were yon, .-supervisor Wright?
Wright responded that he had not been.
Ellen continued: "lt looks very strange,
this sort of ih.ng. Three members meeting
and "adopting such an important resolution
at the last minute, and not notifying the
other two. 1 protest."
In spite, of his objection the report was
adopted by tbe Hint*.
GUOSS KXTKAVAGAXCE.
Shortly afterward a resolution was read
providing that the Committee on Health and
Po.ice be and are hereby authorized to pur
chase on behalf of the city and county from
A. VV. Ron Sehuiidt, Shag Rock, together
with Blocks 723 and 730 of tide lands sur
rounding said rock, for the sum of $10,000,
as a site for a smali-pox hosDilal, Uie title
to said property to be first passed upon by
the City and County Attorney, and ii found
perfect, then said purchase to be made.
Ellert protested most vigorously against tiie
resolution. He said : "This is gross px
trayag.uce without reason or sense. The
'committee don't know* what they are talk
ing about. What.' Spend 315,000 for a
rook against the protest of the Hoard of
Health, when that body has not funds to
p.iy rr doctor for its present patients, aud is
t.ikiiig of closing up the Twenty-sixth-
Vueei Hospital." Bush interrupted, saying
the board wauted to keep its pledge to re
move the Pest-house from its present loca
tion.
.' Ellert answered: "if "fou want to keep
■jrt ur pledge you are only remembering it at
a v;i) late day. Out ol the $20,000 appro
priated for the new hospital you are spend
ing $13,1.00 for a reek. There is uo excuse
for thi' measure."
Supervisor Wright started to explain his
position ou the question, when Becker arose
and called bim to order, saying the Chair
had no right to speak. Everybody was
'd ii nrfo undid. Supervisor Wright with
great calmness and dignity requested
Becker to take the chair while he could ex
plain his vote oa the floor. Becker never
noticed- him.
BECKER WOITJIN'T.
Wright asked three times, "Will Mr.
Becker take the chair?" But Becker
grasped his seat firmly, and refused to
budge. He would not answer. He grew
red in the face, -»nd fixed his eyes on the
ceiling, but still refused to answer or to no
tice tiie Chairmau.
Clerk Bussell was out of tbe room at the
time, but when he returned and learned tbe
trouble he said iv a loud voice:
"That is your privilege, Mr. Wright, to
explain your vote. It is given you by the
law."
S"ill Wright insisted on Bingham taking
the chair while be explained his vote on the
floor. He thought il was rushing the busi
ness too much to adopt the resolution. He
»'-s in favor of purchasing a suitable site,
but did uot know whether Shag Kock was
worth Jd.j.fjou. That ought to be investi
gated.
THE MONET GOES.
The resolution was finally passed to print.
Supervisor Ellert voting no. and Wright
being exoustd. The ring stood by each other
to a man.
Two messages from Mayor Pond, vetoing
two orders granting railroad franchises,
were read. One was to tne Geary strent
road and tbe other the Market street line,
and the reasons were set forth at length.
A resolution was presented fixing the sal
aries of the members of the various street
improvement commissions at $200 per mouth.
Supervi-or Ellert objected to Ibe payment
of euch salaries after the six months' service
ol Ihe commissioners, lie said the board
had no right to saddle such heavy expenses
un Ihe people, which meant thousands of
dollars. He cited the Laguua survey, and
said too much uioiir-y is beiug paid to such
vominisr-ioneis. They ought to do their
■work in t-ix mouths and they take years.
I lie order was finally adopted.
A resolution was passed to print to
change the grade of Maiket street beyond
the oiaraet street cut from Valencia to Cas
tro. Supervisor Eden strongly objected to
the resolution on the ground that it would
be piling up a lot ol damage suits agaiust
the city, lie, h.id that according to a late
d.c s on of the Supreme Court the pronertv
pwuei.-t wou.u have a case of action against
the city If they bought their lots in good
faith. He further said that tbe property of
citizens should not be injured at the whim of
cv r\ b ard,
l-.e rule it quiring Justices of the Peace
to g t • 1 oads in tbe sum of *5000 each was
rescinded.
GIVING AWAY FRANCHISES.
The board took up a number of franchises
. for street railroads.
'1 i-e order was finally passed granting a
franchise to Henry Moffitt and M. S.
E -ncr, co.i meucing at Broadway and Davis,

Second, to Brannan, to Channel, to Tenth,
to Urvant, to Eleventh, to Harrison, to Six
teenth, to Cliurch, to Ridley, to Devisadero,
to Sacrameuto.
" What oecame of all the protests filed by
such a large number of business men and
private citizens against this line?" asked
Ellert.
*' I will state," said Bingham, with abland
smile, "that we thought the road for the
benefit of the public, and so we recom
mend it."
A second order was also finally passed
granting to the same parties a franchise for
a road running from the foot of Market
street along East to Broadway, to Powell,
to Vallejo, to Dcvlsadero and out as far as
the ocean.
Al-o a third franchise was finally passed

ACROSS THE BAY.
An Arrest Made in a Conrt in the
Judge's Presence.
SimuelM emu's Great Estate— Bailroad Lands
in Litigation— The Boalevard Ordinance
Finally Passed.
A little excitement was occasioned in
Judge Ellsworth's court-room yesterday af
ternoon. John Ulricbs, who was arrested
for picking the pocket of Mrs. Friedman of
San Francisco a few evenings since at the
Oakland pier, attempted to secure his re
lease from custody by the habeas corpus
route through the assistance of a San Fran
cisco lawyer. No complaint had been
filed against him, aud it was alleged
that he was illegally restrained of his
liberty and uo charge against him. This was
true, as he was only on the "small book."
The return of Chief of Police Tompkins
to the writ did not show sufficient cause
to hold him, anil Judge Ellsworth ordered
tho prisoner's discharge. As soon as the
decision was announced Ulrichs started on
the run for tho door and by the officers, out
when within two paces he slipped on the
oilcloth and fell fiat. Captain Wilson and
Chief Tompkins with Deputy Sheriff Kel
logg were upon him in a second and seized
him. This was inside the court-room door,
and tne lawyer protested against the out
rage perpetrated in the very presence of the
court, and asked the proteclion and severe
judgment of the court upon the officers for a
contempt committed iv his presence. Judge
Ellsworth commenced in severe terms, stat
ing that by the judgment of tho court the
petitioner has been discharged from cus
tody and was entitled to go free ; that he
must not be iuterfeied with; no one had a
right to molest or arrest him again except
upon a warrant. Captain Wilson announced
that he had a warrant for the man's arrest
and immediately produced it, laying his
hand on the prisoner and telling him that he
was under arrest. Ulrichs' attorney sub
sided and allowed the officers to take him,
going to tiie City Prison with him. ll is the
expressed intention of his lawyer to sue out
to-day a writ of habeas corpus before one of
the Justices ot the Supreme Court. The As
sistant District Attorney says he uever made
out a compjaint and warrant so rapidly
before during his term of office, having on ly
seven minutes after the Deputy Sheriff,
Kellogg.'arrivcd nt the office. Mr.'and Airs.
Friedman, whose money was taken, were on
their way to the interior, could not swear to
the complaint, and, knowing this, the pris
oner was in hope of being free belore their
return, which will be on Thursday morning.
He is evidently a smooth article, nnd is
probably one of the band of Eastern crooks
that seem to have landed recently overland
ftom Chicago and St. Paul.

Division Superintendent. Wilder of the
Southern Pacific Company detailed on Mon
day a number of men to count the passen
gers ou the Berkeley local line. The work
was commenced on the first train in the

night. The count will be much more com
plete than the one made about two years
ago, as a man is stationed on each iilat
forin. The deadhead travel between "North
Berkeley and Dwight way is counted by two
men, while another is stationed on each
train to follow the conductor tin ough the
train as be collects fares. This man keeps
separate account of the number who ride on
monthly commutation tickets, and the local
2j-cent tickets, and tbe number of bell
yuiiches showing the number who pay the
trip fare of 10 cents. The exact object of
the company in making the count is not

hud it sufficient to warrant the ruuning of
trains every half hour during the entire day
by nest summer at the latest.

road avenue, the first steps having been
taken at the meeting of the City Trustees on
Monday evening, when an ordinance was
introduced granting the Ceutral Paeilic Rail
road Compauy a franchise through the ave
nue for lilty years. The railroad company
has always claimed to own a right of way
and consequently hesitated about making
any improveiiieiits.
Oliver Rogers, who was arrested on Mon
day and charged by his motner-in-law with
disturbing tne peace and carrying a weapon
concealed, has had a counter warrant
sworn out for tho arrest of Mrs. Blunt
charging her with battery. He says that
when he called at the home of his mother
in-law to see his child he was struck over
the head witli a large piece of cordwood.
JOCKEY NARVAEZ.
He Will Be Investigated by the
Blood- Horse Association.
There was a meeting of the Directors of
the Blood-horse Association last night to in
vestigate certain alleged charges which had
been made against Jockey Xarvaez in a
printed article.
Marion Lathrop, who was present, said
that he had read the article referred to,
aud he had construed it into a charge
against the jockey, either for "pulling" his
horse or for standing in wiih the book-mak
ers, but he was unable to determine which.
If there is any ground for suspecting the in
tegrity of the jockey he wanted to know it,
and, if such proved the case, he desired to
see him ruled off every truck. In view of
the investigation he had asked James V.
Coleman and M. F. Tarpey to appear, and
that the latter would represent him in the
board while the matter was being inquired
into.
Thomas Williams expressed himself as be
ing actuated hy similar feelings, and asked
to withdraw while Mr. Coleman acted for
him.
The Chair stated that the reporter who
had written the article had been notified to
appear belore the board aud substantiate
the allegations, and, pending his coming,
the article would be road. This was done by
Mr. Williams, after which Mr. Coleniau
moved that Uie board construe the state
ments into charges against the jockey, and
request the appearance of the reporter who
wrote it at a postponed meeting to be held
to-day at 2::io o clock in the afternoon.
Tins was carried, and t:m meeting ad
journed uulil the hour named.

suapiuQ.
At the annual meeting oil Monday even
ing of the Pacific Coast Trotting-horse
Breeders' Association, a report of the secre
tary was read, showing the receipts for the
year to have been $18,786, with disburse
ments of a like amount The purses and
stakes given for the past year amounted to
$16,320, less refund of $3970, or a total of
$12,3.*i0. Thirty-five members were added
duiing the year, making a total member
ship at present of 128. The assets of the
association, less cash in trust and rebates,
are $2234 63. The present net cash on hand
belongiug to the general fund of the associa
tion is $1478 63.
iUnder the he.rd of now business, Joseph
Cairn Simpson of the Spirit of the Times
read a communication from himself reflect
ing very seriously on the present Board of
Directors, the Secretary, James P.;Kerr, and
his clerk, Mr. Kelly. He advised economy
and better management, declaring that Keir
lacked experience aud had expended money
iv advertising uselessly. It was a notable
fact, he said, that the Breeder and Sports
man's advertising bill equaled that of
nearly all the other papers. The associa
tion's rooms in the Breeder's ;office, he said,
cost $900 a yeai ; tiie Secretary's services
$1200. Mr. Simpson then offered to do the
same amount of advertising for $200. to give
the use of the rooms of the Spirit of the
Times free, and to furnish a Secretary for
$300 per annum. After some discussion, the
matter wns referred to the Board of Direc
tors for consideration after the failure of a
motion by Wilfred l'age to refer it to a com
mittee, as it retlectad on the Board of Direc
tors.
President F. L. Coombs was not present,
but a letter was read from him, dated New
York, in which he congratulated the assoei
a|*--pn on the mo-ting at Xapa, the great per
formances of Staniboul, Freedom and Home
stake aud advised laiger purses to keep
California horses at home. He also sug
gested the appointment of a committee to
draft a bill for the incorporation of the asso
ciation, it was acted on and the committee
was composed of H. 1. Thornton, F. L.
Coombs and X. Jf. Stow.
On motion the members began the elec
tion ol the Directors whose trins have ex
pired. Monroe Salisbury, F. W. 1 lobar; and
V. Loeber were electr-d" to succeed them
selves, and Mr. Loeber then offered amotion,
wiiich was carried, that the meetiug adjourn
under the constitution for three mouths, in
order that the constitution may be amended
to admit of the election of three more mem
bers to the Board of Directors. These wtll
be Mr. Mcintosh of Chico, W. W. Corbett
of San Mateo and Leland Stanford of San
Francisco. The association then adjuurned
its auuuai meet nig to reconvene ou March 4,
