vote of 81, go shares out of 100000
The Secretary's report showed profit Of
S195,975 for the past year, but if the Gus
tomary dividends of per cent per annum
had been paid there would have been a de-
felt of S154, 024, which is S43, 924 larger than
the loss of the previous year. This is ac-
counted for by the increase of taxes, inter-
est and losses sustained.
The President reported that the income
from sales of water was 81, 427, 1853, de-
crease of $4,000 over the previous year;
but the delinquent list is SIS, 600 larger.

stating that they had formed large organZa-

This matter was referred TO the Executive Com

When these matters had been disposed OF
recess Of a half hour was taken TO enable the Ex-
eCutlve Committee TO 20 into session, and when
they reported the following resolution, recon-
mended by them, was unanimously adopted:
Resolved That each district file with the Secretary
OF the County Committee, on or before the 23d day
of July, OF the printed tickets containing the

DIR. FINNIE'S PLACE.
The Board of Health Wants 1t
for Another MedicO.

DR.. w. f. Finnie, the resident physician
at the City and County Hospital, will hand
in his resignation to the Board of Health
tonight. A reporter heard rumor to that
effect and sought Dr. Finnie at the hospital
last night for confirmation. The doctor,
upon being questioned, said
Yes; shall resign my position as resi-
dent physician at the hospital tomorrow
night. l have concluded to return to my
private practice, which has suffered very
much because Of the great amount Of time
l have been compelled to devote to the
hospital. / have spent twenty hours out of
the twenty-four here each day. and my Of
fee downtown might as well have been
closed for all the attention | could give it."
Inquiry among persons who claimed TO
know something of the true inwardnesS Of
things disclosed the fact that the doctors
resignation was not wholly due to his de-
sire to return to private practice. The Board
of Health has already decided upon the re-
firing doctors successor, and, 1t is asserted,
even offered DR.. Flnnie special inducements
to make room for the new man. 1t is said
that DR.. Finnie, seeing that the board was
bound to make place for the man it has
chosen thought it best to offer his resigna-
ton, particularly as he was not sorry to re-
turn to his private practice: There were
also rum0Ts af1Oat of some friction between
DR.. Healy and DR.. Finnie.
The house doctors at the hospital all de-
plore the expected retirement of DIR. Finnie
from the institution and set of resolutions
is being prepared, highly Mandatory of their
outgoing chief. Said one of them last
night:
u doubt if the Board of Health can Sc
cure so good man as Dr. Finnie. He was
not only popular with the house doctors,
but he kept every man alert and active at
his duty. He has instituted several very
valuable reforms in this place. The system
of telephones running to the several wards,
which has proven to be such great con-
venience, was his idea and was put in by
him. He has adopted many regulations in
the wards, which have been great improve
ments over the old way of doing things.
DR.. Finnie was most indefatigable in
his attendance upon the hospital. He was
seldom absent and never but very short
time. 1t must have been impossible for
him to attend to any private practice, and
we are all sorry tn see him QOp

MANY LABOR UNIONS.
All Aiding the Striking Miners
and the holders.
A Number of Pionics and Boyeotts Among the
Sons of Toll Announced-A Prospec-
tive Libel Suit.

The iron-molders were laughing last night over
a lively chase which they gave private detec-
tive, who started for the City Iron Works with a
nom union man. The pickets wanted him and
the detective was pursued so holly that his
charges hat blew of and was found by the
molders who hold il as trophy.
On Tuesday the union notified the proprletors
OF L. A Hun,iugton's Foundry that men IN his
shop would no longer be allowed to work on pat
terms from the Pacific Foundry, one OF the struck
shops. Mr.. Huntington, whose foundry Is now
one OF the IrOn-founders Association, was angry
at the molders' interference. He said he would
pay of his men and they could quit. He would
run his shop his own way. He then made an en-
gagement to meet union committee. They met
yesterday afternoon, but came to no definite con-
cluson. In 81 eaking OF the matter last night
President Valentine said:
''Mr Huntington asked US why we stopped or
threatened TO stop. He vowed that he was not
helping the struck shops, but we showed him
how his actions were indirectly against US. He
said that no more work would be done. He then
told US that he would shut down for the present.
and do no work at ALL"
The mOlders say that, While this adds another
struck shop TO their list. 1t increases expenses
but $50 week. They report that they yester-
day captured man from the Risdon, and that
TWO new men at the Risd0n turned out to be bar
bers and not moders.

accused by French Harry and newspaper OF

FREED FROM JAIL.
Governor Waterman Psrdons Two 81
Ernnciscn ConYicts.

Governor Waterman Pardons Two San
Francisco Convicts.
Governor Waterman yesterday pardoned
two criminals who were convicted and SEN
fenced in this city. They were Edmond
Clarence and George Bush.
Clarence, about nine months ago, was
Secretary of the Cooks and Walters Union.
and it was discovered that he was short
about $50 in his accounts. He claimed
he had been robbed OF the money at pic
mic, but the jury did not believe his story
and convicted him of enlightenment 1t was
believed he spent the money during a
drunken spree. He was sentenced to two
years imprisonment.
Bush is young man of respectable pa
rentage. In 1886 he attacked an old man on
the Barbary Coast and beat him badly with
an iron bar. His object in making the as
sault was to rob his victim. He was SEN
fenced 10 serve seven years Imprisonment
Since last January Bush had been patient
In the prison hospital at San Quentin, suf-
fering from consumption. The resident
physician of the prison certifies that Bush
is in precarious condition and will prob
ably not live longer than three months.
The Governor also pardOned James Bruen,
convicted of indecent exposure in Santa
Barbara, and sentenced to six months i'm
prisonment and to pay fine Of $500. He
had already served six months. The par
don was granted on the grounds of his pre-
yi0us good character and that he was under
the influence of liquor when the offense
was committed
