VICTIMS OF THE DEADLY MOTOR.
Andrea Demicheli and Antonio Mangini,
who were injured Monday by being run
down by a steam train on the Powell-street
extension, were both very low Tuesday.
There is but little hope of Demicheli's re-
covery, as his skull is badly fractured and
his brain is seriously injured Mangini is
also in a critical condition, but the surgeons
at the Receiving Hospital believe that he
will recover. The others that were in the
wagon at the time of the accident and es-
capped without any serious injury, have en-
tirely recovered from the shock.
POOR LITTLE FLcssIE PAYsoN.
Little Flossie Payson, who was run over
by the Larkin-street dummy last Friday. is
still struggling in the border line of doubt
as to her ultimate recovery. Yesterday the
heat of the mangled little sufferer was
made glad by several beautiful bouquets
sent to her by sympathizing ladies' 1t is
thought that the chances are in favor of
her recovery.
PITIABLE PLEA OF POVERTY
Arthur L. Foster, a young man who
came to this city from Boston about six
months ago, was arrested by detective Ho-
gan, on charge of grand larceny. The
prisoner was employed in Joe Poheim's
Market.street tailoring establishment, and
stole pieces of cloth and lining material
which he sold.
When the owner of the goods charged
him with the theft, Foster made confess
sion and told where he had disposed of the
plunder. He says that he was driven to
dishonesty by his necessities.
He had been out of employment for
some months before he secured his position
with Mr.. Poheim, and having a young
wife dependent upon him, was obliged to
incur debts. He hoped to steal only enough
to satisfy bis lmportunate creditors. He is
respectable looking young man, and his
wife has no money to relieve her immedi-
ate wants.
TO SUPERVISE THE NEW VESSEL.
F. L. Fernald, Naval Constructor of the
United States Navy, who superintended
the construction OF the Charleston had been
designated as superintendent of construc-
ton OF the new coast defense vessel to be
constructed by the Union Iron Works.
SUICIDE OF JOSEPH ROSE.
Joseph Rose, a German, who had for
some time lived i'll Fresno, sold out his
business two months ago, and came to
this city and became the owner of board
ing-house at No. 1017 Battery street.
Shortly after he assumed charge he COM
planned of pains in his head and on sew
eral occasions threatened to commit sui
eide. Amelia Schweitzer, his ep-daughter
of 26 years, lived in the house and helped
to carry on the business. Tuesday she had
quarrel with her mother and threatened
to leave the house. This evening about
half-past o'clock, she was packing up her
effects, when Rose approached her, drew
revolver, and made some remark, and she
started to run up flight of stairs, when he
fired three shots after her, only one taking
effect, in the right arm. He then set upon
and beat her into inSensi bility with the
butt of the revolver. He then went into a
room, where he cut his throat from ear to
ear. He died at IL o'clock tonight.
