Proven.

The Charge of Alleged CareIessness Not
Proven.
An inquest was held yesterday in the case
of Patrick Flynn, the young Irish boy who
vas asphyXiated by gas in room of the
clearinghouse at $40 Howard street on last
Friday night. Although suspicion had
been aroused in the matter, the verdict was
non-committal.
Flynn arrived at the house late at night,
saying he was a stranger in town and while
looking for his sisters home had been fol-
lowed by hoodhms, who he thought
wanted to rob him. He was given a room as
matter of sympathy for his condition, he
being perfect stranger in a strange cOun-
try. lie was found dying the next morn
ing from escaping gas.
Two newspapermen testified that the
landlady had stated TO them that she turned
off the gas nightly at IL o'clock, and turned
II on again az in the morning but she
denied having said so when asked to testify
at the inquest.
A voluntary witness named Harry
Winters very positively eorr0borated tho
reporters testimony. Hers was to the
effect that her late husband had observed
that rule, but since his death, two weeks
ago. she had never turned off the gas.
A verdict of death by asphyxiation was
rendered, but whether through the care
lessnesS Of Mrs. Wilson, the landlady, or
young Flynn, was not determined. Her
house Is respectable one and conducted by
herself with care and prOpriety.

water ordinance passed by the Supervisors
the city is liable for stated monthly charges
for water supplied, whether used or not,
throughout the year, the same In December
as in August, irrespective Of weather or
rainy or dry seasons.

spector j. q. Brown, who refused to pass
the bills OF the company for those months
on the ground that 10 water was used.
The company claimed that it is entitled
to collect for water furnished, whether it is
used or not, and if the city does not want to
use the water it should be ordered turned off,

L" Alone in London"

AT the Alcazar last evening melodrama
eAtItled alone in London" was produced
by combination under the management of
William de Chetley. Though no novelty to
us, this work has not been seen in San
Francisco for two or three years. What
ever may be its defects in dialogue and
construction, it is not without interest to
the average audience. The playwright has
endeay0red TO show how much abuse and
wrOng-dOing "a woman will suffer at the
hands Of the man she loves be-
fGle she turns on him. This furnishes
tie motif for the whole four acts of the
play. The company interpreting Alone
in London" on the whole. as a travelling
organization, do fairly well-two or three
of-the members display more than average
ability. Mr.. William Davidge is clever
and versatile artist, and his treatment of
two dialect parts - totally distinct in
character is deserving Of special
praise. Mr. Aida Ia CrOix got his
