of 2112 California street, who for many years

he proposes to show to what extent the DEM

of his incumbency it WIS deemed necessary
to build an engine-house in the Western Al

California street, near Laguna, and the
other on Sacramento, between Webster and
Fillmore. The property on California
street, IN the same block with the present

residences, standing back some twenty-five
feet from the line of the sidewalk, and oc-

Attsnpt 10 Escans From San ouentin

SAN QUENTIN, Oct. 27.-Two prisoners,
George Ross and George Rogers, becoming
tired Of prison life, tried to make their es-
cape Sunday morning about o'clock and
succeeded in getting outside the high walls
surrounding the prison. Shortly after the
prisoners were turned out of their cells Sun
day morning. Rogers and Ross. instead Of
going to breakfast, slipped unnoticed into
the yard ara over the wall. While peering
around the corner of the wall to see how the
coast laid, they we're spied by Guard John
Jones several yards distant. He challenged
them and they replied that they were re-
pairing sewers and had passed through the
lower gate, Jones held them there until he
was relieved and then he turned them over
to the officers. Ross and Rodgers were
transferred from Folsom in March, 1890
The former was serving fourteen years for
burglary committed in San Francisco, the
latter twelve years for burglary in Butte

To the Public: John d. Siebe, the candidate for
Assessor on the Republican ticket. has employed his
friends TO attack me in very unjust way. am &C
cused. in the lines of morning paper, of endeavor
ing 10 throw the office OF Assessor into the hands of
the Democratic powers, and that if be true Re-
publican as it is believed am. should desist.
In replJ TO these reflections upon the motives
which guide me in my opposition to Mr.. Siebe
wish to state that before entering this fight looked
over the ground carefully and thoroughly, and duly
considered every phase of it, The result of my
deliberations and investigations was that found
that. being true Republican, could not support
man who is VIGOROUSLY known to be traitor to the
party which he claims to be member Of Not only
has he twice betrayed the Republicans of this city
bat he has done that which even sinks him deeper
into the mlre of disrerute-he has betrayed the
fdence of his warmest friends, and with conscience
less disloyaty has broken promises which a savage
would have held inviolate.
Siebe's desire to become Assessor dates back over
period of eight years. In the convention of 1882
he was candidate for the nomination. but for the
reason that Alex Badlam honorably defeated him,
he walked deliberately out OF the Republican ranks,
which he had pledged himself to remain loyal to,
and worked with malicious and malevolent pertiu-
acity for the election of Louis Holtz Every linger
Ing vestIge of love that he may have once enter
tanned for the party was buried deep beneath his
venomous desire for revenge.
Again four years ago this same man repeated his
treacherous act to the party and this time his be-
trayal brought about far more disastrous results.
He not only defeated me for Assessor but upon his
Independent ticket he ran candidates for the AS
semby and Senate, and by division of the vote
thus brought about, Democratic Instead of Re-
publican United States Senator sent to Wash
ington to represent the State OF California.
1t Is in the face OF this record that protest
against John Siebes election and favor that of Mr.
Kreling whom know to 5e all honest gentleman.
Knowing Siebe as do, l feel confident that in
opposing him am doing my duty in endeavorng to
cleanse the party, which am firmly attached to, of
modern Judas Iscariot, man whose loftiest am
bition in life is but to gain absolute domination
the party which he has twice turned from GER
tain victory to gnominious defeat He says he is
against bosses but those who know Siebe best know
he is ing the Assessors office for no other
than to gain absolute control of the political
wires of the party and to hold them with desper
ate clutch. IL is TO save the party from returning
again to a one-man power that my present opposi-
tion draws its inspiration. 1t is far better that
upon the ticket should be beaten than that the
party should be placed in the hands OF 4 man who
only hungers for revenue and revenge.

There was good attendance at the Bald
win last evening" when Miss Laura Crews,
a pretty and interesting little girl, made her
first appearance in leading role in four
act comedy drama entitled "Spray," writ
ten expressly for her. Like several other
plays in which children are posed as
stars" the adult characters are kept in the
background "Spray" is not burdened
with much of a plot-if it may be said to
possess one at all. However, it gives Miss
Crews an OPP, rtunity to exhibit her preco-
cious talent. The manner in which she de-
responsible for her stage training had not
mterlered with that great teacher of all
nature. The efforts Of the juvenile actress
were well received by the audience. The
support, EXCEPT in one OF two cases, was
adequate. spray" will be continued

now stands the property-owners protested.
The attention of Mr.. Pond was called to the
matter. and lie admitted that ne would not
like to have a tirr-eDgine house next door to
his residence on Mob Hill, and THAT the Sac
ramen.o-street lot would be equally eligible.
Notwithstanding this fact the bill was rail
roaded through and the present structure
was erected-not on a line with the other
buildings in the block, but projecting TWEEN
ty-fiye feet beyond every house in the block,
although there still remains some twenty
five or thirty feet in the rear belonging to
the same lot which Is still unoccupied.'
The vigorous protest made by the prop
ertyOwners on California street, between
Laguna and Buchanan, was unheeded. Its
erection was punishment melted out to DR..
GibbOn and others for having protested, or,
as Mayor Pond himself elegantly expressed
it, THAT DR.. Gibbon kicked very hard
against its going there" He did not say in
words that if DR.. Gbbon and the other
prOpeTty-owDers had acted ditferently-poS-
sibly purchased tie lot-the building would
street lot, but from the fact that it is where
it is, in spite of the protest, and the adj
mission by a portion Of the Board of Su-
pervisors that 1t was an outrage, the public
can draw their own iDferen,es. DR.. Glib
bon claims that the loss to the city in erect
ing the building on its present site instead
of Sacramento street is $4,000, that is, had
the Caifornia-street lot been sold and the
money used TO erect the house on the Sac
ramentO- street lot that amount would have
been saved the city, besides which the de-
probation of the value of property in the
block and its Disagreement should be taken
into consideration. The beauty * d por-
ton of the finest avenue in the city is de-
stroyed, Its desirablity as residence block
marred, the uniform symmetry OF the resi-
dences, with their beautiful lawns and
shrubbery, interfeIed with by the hideous,
dull red walls CT shapeless twO-story
brick building, surmounted by tower
"fearfuIly and wonderfully made, and
which projects out twenty-five feet beyond
every other house on the street, and all TO
satisfy the rapacity of conscienceless set
of politicians, who, having the power, did
not scruple to use it. Had the owners of
the property submitted to blackmail dis
guised under the name of assessments"
they would undoubtedly have been saved
the modification, to say nothing of the
pecuniary loss. Occasioned by the erection

" Hearts of Oak"

Throbbingly interesting as that drama Is
supposed to be, is not marked success, so
far, at the Bush-street. Some cause is tell
lug on the attendance, which showed more
than the usual and expected Monday
drop" last evening. The piece has many
good points that are well drawn out. Mr..
Herne's own character, Terry Dennison,
stands out like portrait, and is worthy of
considerate study, quite as much as Th0mp-
sons Joshua WhtcOmb, in the rustic line,
or any other ordinary unconventiOn-
al but strong-featured, NATURALIZATION
plucked from the common herd and set in
the strong glare of the footlIghts. Herne
has always been conceded good actor of
such parts. and he has the trick of it now as
perfectly as ever he had. On Sunday after
noon next he proposes to deliver lecture
at this theatcr on The Topics of the Hour"
which everybody is invited to hear. The
gentleman is a devoted adherent to the
social economic theories of Henry George,
and one of the topics on which he is ex-
pPcIed to dilate Will no doubt be the single

Artistic Efforts of the Ladies Attracting
Attention.
The second week of the Cathedral bazaar
opened with tlatterlng promises last even
ing, at the hall in the ediice to help COM
plete which it is givel. A striking feature
of the evening was the unusually large num-
Der of lady Vi tors and new faces passing
from booth TO booth. As might be expected,
each charming little section and its contents
of rich things and art ornaments were
greatly admired, aud although many of the
finest articles have been sold and removed,
they are not missed. as the space thus ere
ated affords an opportunity Tor the display
of others equally beautiful and attractive.
Take, for instance, the eXQuiSitely en-
broidered screen, designed and executed by
Miss Bailey, in Mrs. j. O'Brien's booth;
or the porcelain vases and mirror which
catch tie visitors eye in St;
JOSeph's booth, with their strength of
execution and excellence of CulOring,
from the brush of Miss Angela Sullivan; or
the fauciful painting of ue-DlrdS, after the
French school-as fantastic, airy and
sketchy bit Of work as may be seen in the
baZaar-by Mss lucille Edwards; the
beautiful oils and water pictures bv the Sis
terS of Notre Dame of San Jose. All these
and more are still on view and adOrn the
booths more than casual glance " ould lead
one to believe. Big prices are placed upon
them, yet they will sell as readily as the
rest.
The concert given under Professor Eimers
direction last evening was a drawing card
and quite successful, but if these charming
entertainments, which are carefully ar
ranged, were not disturbed by the din of
children at play they would be one of the
chief attractions. Professor EimeI's chill
dren and J. f. Ritter, Mss Jennie Hally,
Miss Z. RoSe and Miss NJ. Higgins partici-
pated in the programme.
