HEALTH MATTERS.
The Board Listens to a Report of
The Health Officer.

Ane BOard Listens 10 n Report OIL
The Health Officer.
The Board of Health held it regular
meeting in the Mayors Office last night,
DR.. Hagan, in the absence of Hon. Fl. T.
Hazard, occupying the chair, and Messrs.
Davisson and Wright present. A recon-
mendation to the Council WAS made
relative to the passage OF an amendment
to Ordinance No. 1877, providing for the
notification of the Health Officer in cases
of infectious disease by householders, as
we'll as physicians.
Health Officer MCGOWAN made a
lengthy and exhaustive report upon the
health of the city, and especially the
prevalence of diphtheria in the First
ward. He stated that since June 18th,
there had been no less than sixty cases
of diphtheria, of which thirteen had
proved fatal. Twenty-seven houses were
infected, all but five being in the First
ward. OF these, sixteen were placarded
with green cards, according to Ordinance
No. 201. The colors adopted for the use
of the Health Officer in cases of Infectious
disease, were as follows: Red, scai latina
green, diphtheria; yellow, smallpox /;
black, cholera. He then called the at
tention of the board to the insufficient
service of sprinkling carts and the failing
supply of water for that purpose. As to
the cremation of the city's garbage, the
Health Officer reported that the present
furnace was not large enough to consume
it all but before the end of the year.
should the outfall sewer to the sea not be
built, the city would have an efficient
crematory service.
In the matter of the present unsatis.
factory method of disinfecting clothing,
etc., he suggested the purchase of a
portable hot air machine, such as is now
in use in Paris and Berlin.
The action of the Health Officer in
suspending Thos. Dolanty, one of the
Health Inspectors, for inefficiency and
use of abusive language to citizens when
in pursuit of his duties, was concurred in
unanimously; as was also the appoint
ment of S. B. Sites in his place.
On the recommendation of the Health
Officer, Richard Carter was appointed to
the office of Sanitary Inspector, as cre-
ated by the ordinance of June 18th, by
two votes to one, Mr.. Wright voting
negatively.
Three petitions we're received and filed
from residents on graded streets which
were not sprinkled. On motion of Mr..
Davis, the Health Officer was instructed
to make report Of all streets not graded
that were being sprinkled and all graded
thoroughfares not being sprinkled, before
any definite action was decided upon.
Mr.. Woodhead, the COW salesman,
was given a hearing about the
Narnniito onftnn in rofarripn his
petition back to the board; but DIR.
Hsgan was 80 strongly adverse to COW
yards within the COW limits than nothing
was agreed upon, and an adjournment
followed.

clothes by the side of the bed. Soon he
fell asleep. He was awakened some time
in the night by pistol shot close to him.
Opening his eyes, he just had time to
discern come dark object in the room,
then came the second shot, which took
effect in his head. He fell away uncon-
scious, and when he recovered his senses
he felt as if he was freezing, got up and
closed the door. which was standing
wide open, and went back to bed. He
did not seem to have paid any attention
to the body of the dead woman by his
side, not even stretching out his hand to
learn her fate. The officials charged
Scott with the murder, and be has been
in Jail all this time. 1t is for this murder
be is now being trit d.
The greater part of yesterday forenoon
was taken up In securing jury, which 10
as follows: Seth ]. Erkels, A. Valla, ].
Malott, Il. j. Biee, William Behm, El-
mer Dilley, W. III. Mcdonald, r. Eads,
W. G. McMullen, M. D. Holiday, A. J.
Brooks and @. D. Curtis.
The first witness put on was Officer
Conley, who was called in when the dis
covery was made. He told the facts
very much as narrated above. Scott, the
officer said, admitted that the pistol was
his. He also admitted that he and the
woman had partsken somewhat of beer
before going to bed. Conley asked if he
knew who did the shooting. He said
he thought it was man who
lived at the corner of Aliso and
Alameda streets, who wanted to get
Anna to leave him.
Lille Rowe, another woman of the
town, living next door, testified that
Scott and Anna were always quarreling;
that Scott was infatuated with her, and
had said he would kill her rather than
be separated from her.
The testimony OF Mrs. Oliver, taken
al the time of the preliminary examina-
ton and published then, was read, which
consumed the rest of the afternoon. The
case will be resumed today.

NEWS ABOUT TOWN.
A Young Married Woman
Attempts Suicide.
SHE is STOPPED IN TINE.
The Board of Health Discusses Af-
fairs-0ther Events of an
Interesting Nature.

Last night about 9 O'Clock a young
woman named Mrs. Henney attempted
to commit suicide on Main street, near
Washington. At.hat hour Mrs. Henney
went into drugstore and asked for some
laudanum. In accordance with the law,
the druggist asked the woman what the
laudanum was for. She snatched the
bottle containing the fluid out of his
hand, and told him it didn't make any
difference, she had the bottle. Then she
said she wanted it for a sick friend, and
walked out, meeting young man on the
sidewalk. The two talked for few Sec
onds, and then she put the bottle to her
mouth and started to drink its contents.
The young man snatched it away from
her, but not soon enough to prevent her
from swallowing some of it's
contents. A few minutes later
she was taken with convulsions,
and was carried into a fruitstand
and the patrol wagon was called. Medi-
cal aid arrived before the patrol wagon,
and she was relieved of the drug and
taken to her home on Pine street. She
said her husband was in the northern
part of the State, but refused to give any
reason for her act.

AMUSEMENTS.
1t Will be 'sLa marquise, at the
Grand Tonight.

Grand Tonight.
Tonight, at the Grand Opera House,
the Lyceum Company will present Vic
torien Sardou's great sensational drama,
La Marquise. A sober American drama,
The Wife, has shown one side OF the
company's talents. Then came an Eng
lish comedy drama, Sweet Lavender, in
which another side of the company's
ability has been displayed. And now
the third department of the dramatic
art, highly-wrought sensational play
will be given, thus bringing out all the
versatility of the company. Sweet
Lavender will be given at tomorrow's
matinee and the engagement will close
Saturday night with The Wife. By the
way the San Francisco Neaos- Letter has q
good story on Mr.. Kelcey, of the COM
pany, as follows:
BEAUTY AND THE BEER"
Herbert Kelcey, just closing his en-.
gagement here with the Lyceum TheateI
Company, is known as q stage beauty,
though the appellation is said to be the
cause of great annoyance, and, in the
language of Pinafore, he doesn't tackle
kindly to it," A story has just leaked
out in the clubs, which brings broad
smile to the face of every auditor at the
minds them of the story. Innocently
malicious people accuse him of buttoning
up his coat and putting on very conse-
quential airs as he walks abroad beneath
the interested gaze of admirers of both
sexes. Piquant Grace Henderson, of the
same company, is one of Mr.. Kelcey's
most cruel tormentors, and her favorite
name for him is Beauty" which some-
times annoys him immeasurably, though
he does not always show the annoyance.
The overland train that brought the
company hither made stop at one of the
towns on the plains where it is the
custom of the major part of the popula-
ton to turn out when the train stops,
and accord due honor to the one excite
ment of their town. AS the train began
to slacken up Kelcey Strengthened him
self, buttoned up his coat, and prepared
for his usual walk up and down the
platform in the face and eyes of the
Gays" Just as he reached the door,
Miss Henderson, with her most fascinat-
ing manner, asked him if he would get
her "a bite to eat and drink to sip," to
which, all good nature, he assented. Off
he went; but evidently he was not in
tending to lose his constitutional just to
get even stay for the inside of a lady's
stomach, and he walked up and down
the platform, the observed of all OBJ
servers, till the patience of the little viii
lian of the company was exhausted, and
she raised the window and said, in her
sweetest accents: "Hurry up, Beauty,
and don't forget the beer!" The shout
that went up from that platform is said
to have been cne that had not been
equaled before since the old days when
the Indians warwhoop and the buffalo's
roar alone disturbed the awful silence.
Kelcey retreated to the smoking Car in
stantly, and Grace failed to get her beer.

WHO KILLED FRENCH ANNA?
Charles Scott, her Lover. Oh. Trial
Tor the Deed.

IOE thc DCCos
On April 18th, last, in a "crib" off
Alameda street, Charles Scott was
found nearly dead, from bullet wound
in his head. He lay weltering in his
blood, and by his side lay a woman of
the town, usually known as French
Anna" but whose lame was Anna LIE
Brun. Scott is a blacksmith, and had
shop on Raquena street, near Alameda
street. He had been Ii ing with the
woman for long time. When the door
of the crib had not been opened until
we'll into the day on the date named, q
Chinaman who took care of the room,
opened the door to see why
the pair did not get up, and
found the two apparently dead. He gave
the alarm, and an officer coming, found
Scott and the woman lying together in
bed. They were both lying with their
faces turned to the ceiling, the bodies
almost touching, and between them a
bulldog pistol of 3S caliber, with two
chambers empty. Approaching the bed,
it was found that Scott was alive, but
unconscious, while the woman was dead
and stone.cold. She had bullet wound
in the left side of her head, that was
turned towards Scott, just above
the ear. She appeared to have
died instantaneously, without a
motion. Scott was shot also in the left
side of the head, between the eye and
the ear. 1t was generally supposed at
the time that Scott would die too, and
for some days he lay between life and
death. At the time, while expecting to
die, Scott stated that he and the woman
had been to the circus the night before.
They returned quite late, and after q

pistol, as usual, on chair with his

Next Week at the Grand.

Duncan B. Harrison's picturesque
comedy-drama, The Paymaster, has been
commended by eminent critics for being
clean, and further, for being smoothly
written, for working up to strong act
climaxes and reserving the leading inter
est for an effective climax of plot at the
end of the play. There is an abundance
Of life and wit in it, pretty love scenes,
good plot and several well-drawn char
acters. The sceneryis positive triumph
of the painters and stage-carpen-
ters' art. Unlike many plays written in
the present day for STARS" and which
are known in theatrical parlance as lone
part plays" The Paymaster affords splen-
did opportunities to many of the charac-
ters to display the dramatic art in vii
lany, fsalty, love and hatred, and all the
other many passions of human life.

which is now practically complete. The
message will not be printed and sent out tc
the press previous to its being read in Senate
and House, as has been done in the past
1t will be sent to Congress in writing, but
there will be several type writer copies made
for the press associations, which will be de.
livered to them at the moment the message
is begun to be read in the House and under
no circumstances before. Several times dur

message to Congress had been begun.
