PLUCKING THE GOOSE.

Her Grocery Contracts.

The City Apparently Gets the Worst OF
Her Grocery Contracts.
At the last two or three meetings of the
City Board of Trustees the members OF
that body did considerable wrestling with
the subject of supplies for the city prison.
First. the Clerk was instructed TO procure
from the Clerk of the Jail schedule OF
such supplies as were required. 1t came,
but did not suit Mayor Gregory, who said
it embraced but few articles, while the
monthly bills sent IN contained many and
various items of luxuries not in the
schedule.
Then another schedule was procured,
and bids thereon received last Monday.
The latter bore MANY suspicious looking
figures, and were so indefinite that the
Board refused to accept them, and itself set
to work to prepare a schedule embracing
only such articles as, in its judgment, city
Jail prisoners should have. Bids on this
schedule are expected at to-morrow's ses-
sion.
1t was openly remarked by the members
of the Board last Monday that there had
been looseness somewhere in the matter of
the purchase and sale of groceries, etc., for
the city jail. IL mas SLICE peen cAaIseu
that the contractor for the past year, G.
Schsden, has put in his claims at higher
figures than those in his contract.
Chief Lee says he Endorsed the bills
merely to show that the articles had been
received. City Clerk Mckee says he in
dorsed them correct because the Chief of
Police and Mayor had signed them, and
Mayor Gregory says it was Auditor Nc
KEGS duty to examine the items and see
that the charges conformed 10 the contract
figures.
1t certainly looks as if there has been
considerable ''gouging" going on, and that
while the amount is probably not large
the city has been paying more to have her
tramps and opium fiends fed than her con-
tracts have called for.

william S. Martin Takes Laudanum,
Probably With Suicidal Intent.
Shortly after noon yesterday man was
found in Smiths saloon on K street, near
Third, in stupefed condition, and was
taken to the Receiving Hospital. There
it was found that he had taken poison,
and City Physician Nichols was sum-
moned. Two empty bottles. which had
contained landanum, were found in one OF
his pockets, and the only means by which
he was identified was from letter found
on his person and addressed to him by his
wife y no lives in Utah.
The envelope bore the address Of Will
lam s. Martin. The man wore Grand
Army badge, and was apparently about sc
years of age.
When DR.. Nichols arrived he found that
Martin had taken about an ounce and a
half of laudanum. The supposition is that
deceased took the poison with suicidal in
tent, as be had told friend he intended &c
take his life by jumping into the river.
The letter from his wife was full of affec
ton and tenderness, and told of the recent
death of one of their children. 1t urged
him to return to his home, from which ht
had become enstranged through the hos
tility of his wife's father.
Martin fingered until nearly O'Clock
last evening, when he breathed his last
His body was taken charge of by Coroner
Clark, who will probably hold an inquest
thereon tomorrow.

LIKE MANY OTHERS.
A "Benefciar' Society that Seems to be
Getting Into Deep Water.

A "Beneficiar' Society that Seems to be
Getting Into Deep Water.
Several months ago the Catholic Mutual
Beneficial Association had membership
of about $50 in this city, and was consid-
cred to be in thriving way. The head
quarters of the Association were, and now
are, at San Francisco, and Rev. Father Nc
Nslly, of West Oakland, is President. The
Society was founded about ten years ago,
and its membership was limited to resi-
dents of California. 1t was conducted on
the assessment plan, and at the end of
each month a tax of 81 would be levied for
each member that had died during that
month. The initiation fee was regulated
by the age of the applicant-the older the
person, the larger the amount.
BY this means reserve fund of SO 900 was
kept, so that Immediately upon the death of
member part (say 5000 of the death ben
eft (Which was $1,000 after the Society had
gotten we'll under way) could be paid to
the widow or other beneficiary named by
the deceased member.
The membership increased until it
reached 2 400, and about $50 of that num-
Der were residents OF Sacramento, where
James Riley was the disbursing agent.
Up TO several months ago things were
running in good order, but shortly after
ward assessments of So, So and 81 per
month began TO come in, and the members
in this city began 20 think they were being
pressed too hard. The amounts were col
lected, however, but something higher yet
was forthcoming. The disbursing agent
here got wind of the fact that a 81 assess
ment was approaching, and be gracefully
severed his connection with the organiza-
ton before the notice thereof arrived.
The assessment came, however, and the
little band of $50 here were almost para
lyzed. A new agent was appointed, and he
could collect but from twenty or thirty ofthe
members. A meeting was called to discuss
the situation, and the result was that the
Sacramento branch of the Association
withdrew altogether, and those who had
paid their 81 assessment demanded their
money back, and got it.
The members here were at a loss to know
how the assessm ents were reaching such
enormous figures, and many are not yet in
formed as to the cause. Some say that the
Society was not careful enough in ad-
hitting members. They claim that feeble
and unhealthy persons were allowed to
join. Others are wondering where the re-
serve fund has gone to, and altogether the
members from the Capital City are puz-
zled. Many have been members for a
long time, and consequently out of pocket
to quite an extent.
