SAN Francisco, Feb. 9.-The large
number of murders of late has caused
much comment, and many hold that two
or three hangings will have to take place
before the epidemic of slaughter ceases.
In 1888 and 1889 there were ffty-eight
homicides in San Francisco, and only two
executions, both of the latter occurring in
1888. There has been no legal execution
in this city since December 28 Of that
year. In September, 1888. Alexander
Goldensen was hanged for the murder of
Mamie Kelly, and in December Leong
Sing was hanged for killing his uncle
nearly two years before, because the un-
fortunate relative declined to support
him.

A FINE CHRISTMAS GIFT.

-Four Pittsburgers Said to be Heirs to Over
Sixty Millions.
-Four Pittsburgers are said to have fallen
heirs to an estate valued at from $50, 600, 900
to $50, ,OOO, 900. A pretty good sum to get
hold of during financial furry, but then
as it is the estate of an English banker, and
more or less litigation may reasonably be
expected, those to whom it has fallen will
scarcely get it any too soon to see the
Worlds Fair on.
B. F., John j., William and George A.
Ballard, the first three tobacconists and the
latter a painter, and all residing in Miners
vile back of the Thirty-third street hill, re-
ceived word yesterday from an uncle in
Philadelphia, who stated that James Woods,
q wealthy banker in England, had died a
few years ago, leaving an enormous estate.
Among the relatives in America are said
to be Mr.. and Mrs. J. d. Huff, Philadel-
phia; Misses Carrie and Catharine Eakin,
of Trenton, n. J.; Robert Eakin, of Will
mington, and the four Ballards, of this
city. A DISPATCH reporter spent several
hours last night trying to find some of the
Ballards- George A., the painter, once
lived at 19 Linton street, Thirteenth ward,
but he has moved. An attempt was next
made to find B. F., one of the tobacconists,
who is said to live at so Flora street. Find

WORK OF THE RAILROADS.

A Bloody Chapter Laid to the Credit of the
Locomotives in Pittsburg and Vicinity
Yesterday-One Narrowly Escaped and
Some Failed to Escape.
Strictly speaking, the grim reaper and
the railroads travelled hand in hand yester-
day and it was neck-and-neck race to de-
eide who would do the best business. Fol-
lowing are the stories of the bloody work:

wagon. One of the horses lodged on the pilot
of the engine. and was carried over 100 yards
before the train could be stopped. The other
got tangled M in the harness, and with ihe
wagon was dragged along the side Of the track.
The horse on the pilot escaped uninJured. while
the other had several ribs and one leg broken.
Schulz himself escaped without scratch.
WILLIAM. .JoNAH-William Jonah, section

was caught while running hand-car through
a cut on the road, near Renfrew station, by an
extra engine running south, and injured so that
he died before reaching the city.

caught in freight wreck on the Baltimore and
Ohio near Uniontown. Both legs were badly

AN OLD MURDER REVIVED.

A Telegram From Arizona Recalls the
Killing of Policeman Stack in 1868.
Inspector McAleese received telegram
from James Speedy. deputy sheriff OF
Nogales, Arizona Territory, yesterday,
which recalled murder committed in this
city over 20 years ago. The telegram read:
Inquire if Policeman Stack was murdered on
there is any reward for the murderer can de-
liver him.
Stack was murdered in the year specified,
in Bender's saloon, on Smithfeld street.
Bender and a man named Caugher
were arrested for the same. 1t was
shown that Stack entered the place
while partially under the in
fuence of liquor and ordered an
oyster stew, for which he Failed to pay.
The theory of the prosecution was that he
was struck over the head by one of the pris-
oners and instantly killed. They were
given a trial, however, and acquitted. A
man named Golden, a hack driver, was in
strumental in clearing them. Shortly after
this he was forced to leave the city. The
old-time police officials say he knew all
about who committed the murder, but would
not give up his information
Inspector MoAleese and Detective Coul-
son both remember the affair very we'll.
They do not take any stock in the telegram,
as they think the men who killed Stack were
arrested at the time. Detective Coulson
says that Caugher went west some years ago
and that the story may have been revived
through him.

THE SUPPLY OF EGGS.
Many of Them Not as Good as They Wers
Some Months Ago, and Prices Away Up
Not a Cent Cheaper Than Stellar

Many of Them Not as Good as They Were
Some Months Ago, and Prices Away Up
Not a Cent Cheaper Than sicilian
Oranges.
Whenever the head of family, or the
thin chin member, if she chance to do the
marketing, is seen edging into a grocery
store or produce house during this period OF
mild weather with a look of suspicion or
dIstrust depicted in every line of his or her
couuteuance, it may safely be assumed that
the object is to buy eggs.
Since the early days when hens began to
lay eggs as steady thing, this product has
been a subject of doubt on which everyone
had right to guess, but this winter the
times are so prosperous that Pittsburg grow
ers, as a rule, are willing to throw of little
of their percentage and save the purchaser
any mental agitation by letting them 90
just as they show up in the crate at three
cents piece in small numbers, or "a cents
dozen. Deducting the bad ones and this
makes the average cost about the same the
price charged for SicilIan oranges by italian
fruit venders.
A Liberty street commission merchant
was asked yesterday how he accounted for
the great number OF eggs in the market that
were not considered wholesome. He replied
that people could not expect to buy spring
chickens in any stage of evolution for a
song, as it required ice to keep them cool in
winter as well as summer. Then there was
the question of storage which counted up
where dealers carried large stock. He in
sisted, however, that there were fresh eggs
in the market, most of them coming from
Tennessee. Eggs less than 80 days old were
considered fresh. They sold at wholesale
for from q to % cents dozen. while the
ice-houss variety sold at from % to "a cents
wholesale. He said the supply was fair.
but the weather was against the dealers.

AN IMMENSE OPENING.

Plenty of Work and Good Wages for Men
Who Could Do Housework--A Univer-
sally Felt Want That is Easily to be Sup
piled.
There is an immense opening in this coun-
try for men who wish to fare sumptuously
and live life of comparative ease, but the
majority are slow to catch on.
The training of boys to do general house
work, so as to supply, not only long, but
an almost universally felt want, mas been
suggested from time to time in a desuitory
sort of way, and pushed in a half-hearted
manner, but since the majority of young
American women of slender means
prefer to be salesladies, seamstresses, school
teachers, clerks, typewritersy etc., and much
of the foreign female element that
applies is but poorly equipped, the argu-
ment that males should be trained to do
housework gains in intensity, and really
the idea possesses attractions, or should
do SO.
Men crn learn to cook, scrub and do laun-
dry work just as well as women, and they
could do it as well if not much
better, and the wages paid for this
work, which is much easier than
hod-carrying and most other outdoor work,
are better than for the latter. A girl who
is worth her room can get So week and
board to do housework, and is not exposed
to the weather, and this is more than the
average laborer can earn. There is scarce
house in the country where good girl is
not wanted, and well-trained man could
fill tho position more acceptably than the
average girl.
There is not SO much trouble experienced
in large towns and cities, but even there the
difficulty of keeping a supply of reliable
domestic help is the greatest burden the
mistress of house is called to shoulder.
Farm hands are seeking employment at S15
mouth in situations exposed to all kinds
Of weather, and are expected to labor IL to
IA hours day, while girls can get the same
compensation and remain indoors.
The pioneers in the proposed line would
doubtless feel awkward for times but if
the employment should become general the
feeling would soon wear away.

AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION.
More Time to be Given in the Allegheny
High School Tests.

More Time to be Given in the Allegheny
High School Tests.
The Allegheny High School Committee
met last night at the High School. The most
important business before the committee
was the following resolution, which was
offered by the Rev. W. 81. Mcmillan,
D. D.:
Resolved, That the method, heretofore fol-
lowed in this school, of limiting the scholars to
definite time in preparing their answers TO
questions on examination is liable to work in
justice to some of che students, and therefore
it is the judgment of this committee that an
indefinite but reasonable time should be al
lowed.
DIR. Mcmillan stated that the practice
was for the principal of the High School to
present list of ten questions at the monthly
examinations and to tell the pupils that
their papers would be lifted in one hour,
whether they were through or not. As re-
suit the more active members of the classes
received the higher grades.
Rev. DR.. Woodburn said there was
another point in connection with the ex-
aminations he wished to remark, which is
that the examinations do not seem to be
made to test the pupils on the work they
have gone over during the month. The
resolution was passed and will be presented
to Prof. Dodds.
Major Kreps reported that because Of the
scarcity of fuel gas the heaters in the build
ing had been altered so that both gas and
coal can be used in them.

REFORM, NOT PUNISHMENT,

Should be the Rule Adopted at the Peni-
tentiaries, Says DIR. r. p. Fallkner-Some
Aspects of the Question Discussed in q
Lecture Last Evening.
That criminals should be reformed rather
than punished is the theory of the National
Association for Prison Reform. Last night
at the chapel of the Trinity Episcopal
Church DR.. R. P. Falkner, Secretary of
the organization, lectured upon this pet
theory, and if any in his audience were op-
posed TO it before he began talking they GER
tainly soon had sufficient reasons to change
their way of thinking. His arguments we're
convincing and interesting.
DR.. Falkner opened his address by taking
for granted that crime is on the increase as
alleged and then asked the question: "Has
the treatment OF criminals been such as to
decrease or foster crime? In former days
the idea of making it hard for a man was
taken in its literal sense and prisons were
places of physical suffering" In this con-
nection the speaker gave numerous word
illustrations of where men were kept In con-
finement in prisons without fire and when
the frost would cover the walls of their cells.
This occurred in Maine within the past so
years. Now they have improved venti-
iabon, ulo'J Sse' oo"S PeoPAe SOY snee
the prisons are so nice that men commit
crimes to get there" said the speaker.
''They are like big hotels where man has
a private room. Small to be sure. The
diet is pure and simple and on Christmas,
Thanksgiving and other holidays turkey is
set before them. But, my friends, if you
were locked up and could do nothing Of
your own volition you would certainly feel
that you were punished"
DR.. Falkner then told of the hardships of
man who has reformed after spending a
term in the penitentiary. 1t was almost i'm
possible to get work, as the people had lost
confidence in him. He then pointed out the
broad road of reform considered by the
Prison Reform Association. The principle
of reform is that crime is like lunacy and
the criminal should be confined until cured,
the same as with the lunatic.

TN A CELL.
Michael Finney, q Yagrant, Hangs
Himself in a Station House.
A NOTED CHARACTER AROUND seRO
He Was Unable to Work, and without
Friends, Home or Relatives.
SUPPORTED For YEARS By MILL MEN

1t is not often that man selects a station
house in which to commit suicide, but this
is what Michael Finney did in the Four
,teenth ward, yesterday afternoon.
. The poor fellow sought death at the end of
piece of twine about 1S inches long, which
he looped over the cell bar and tied the other
end to his neck. -,
About o'clock last evening, tired Of the
cold and of life, Finney applied at the sta
tion house for place to spend the night.
He was man about 55 years old, and in a
miserable condition. Sergeant Hendrick
saw at glance that the man needed as
sistance. and kindly took him in. He put
him into the cell farthest removed from the
Office, and after giving him good supper
paid no more attention to him.
THE MATRoN's AWFUL FIND.
About O'Clock in the evening, while
Mrs. McRoberts was passing the cell door,
she glanced in and was horri6ed to find
Finney hanging by the neck. She rushed
to the Office at once, and, seiZing knife,
cut him down; but it was too
late. The body was still twitching
but life had been extinct for some time. Ali
sorts of efforts to bring him back to lie re-
suited in failure, and the body was taken to
the morgue, where an inquest will be held
by the Coroner to-day. DR.. McKelVey
worked hard 10 restore him.
Michael Flnney was vagrant and we'll
known character about Soho where he lived
for the last 25 years. He was without
friends, home or relatives, and lived the
best he could through the kindness of charit-
able people about the mills
UNABLE TO EARN A LIVING.
He suffered from rupture, and was un-
able to make his own living. He had been
arrested number of times for vagrancy,
but they finally refused 20 take him at
either the Jail or the workhouse on account
of the flthiness of his person. Knocking
around as he did, Finney was unable to
secure the necessary ablutions to keep him
self clean.
1t is supposed that after his long struggle
with hard and cruel circumstances, he be-
came discouraged and looked for relief from
his worldly troubles in death. Some claimed
that he had suddenly become insane, but
this is doubtful.
