HE TELLS HIS STORY.
Fladung Relates on Oath His
Wifc's Terrible Deed.

The preliminary trial of E. Fladung,
charged with the murder of his wife, May
Fladung, occupied the afternoon yesterday
in Police Court !. The defendant was the
only witness examined. After having fin
ished the story of his unhappy married life
and the woman's treatment of him he re-
lated all he knew of the tragedy at 326 Ellis
street.
He stated that on mis- return home to
their rooms on Eddy street the night of the
shooting he found note from his wife on
the table. 1t read:
have moved to 326 Ellis street. II you want
TO come you mayi if not stay where you are.
Beside it were some cartridges in hand
kerchief He was surprised, and could not
imagine what the cartridges meant so to be
on the safe side put them into his pocket.
Then he went to where his wife WAS. He
entered the room and sat down on a chair,
and after addressing some ordinary Saluta-
ton to the woman asked what she had done
with his pistol
Just then his hat rolled off a chair on
which he had placed it. He stopped to pick
it up, and while doing so heard his wife
reply;
He was still in STOPPING position, but
looked upward, aud al that instant she sent
bullet through his forehead. He fell
down insensible and knew no more of what
had happened till he regained consciousness
in the Receiving Hospital and somebody
told him that his wife was dead.
He swore that his wife shot him.
Throughout his testimony impressed those
present with being straightforward and
truthful, and the cross-eXanlination of
Prosecuting Attorney Dunno only confirmed
this.
Further hearing of the case will be re-

FIKE- HOSE.
It's Quality Is Discussed by Supervisor.


Committee.
The Fire Department Committee OF the Board
OF Supervisors met yesterday afternoon at late
hour, Chairman Barry presiding.
The communication from A. n. Towne OF the
Southern Pacific Company to Mayor Pond, IN re-
gard TO laying pipes in the vicinity OF The rail-
road depot at Fourth and Townsend streets, was
laid over for one week for consideration, aud
Clerk Russell was requested to notify railroad
officials and members OF the Fire Department TO
be present. in order that conference might be
held at the next meeting
The question OF hose for the department then
came up, aud Mr.. Barry presented communica-
tious from three manufacturing companies
showing how many lengths OF hose they had
been required 10 replace because OF It's being OF
inferior quality.
The Revere Rubber Company stated that 1t
had replaced two lengths; tie Maltese Cross
brand people had replaced noue and of the
Paragon cotton hose none had 10 be replaced.
Under tie contracts the companies furnishing
hose are compelled 10 replace any defective hose
within two years and bond is given TO guaran-
tee this being Carried on.
MI. Barry said hat The hose which had burst
and been replaced had been purchased by the
preceding Board Of Supervisors. "Such being
the case" he said, 81 do not propose 10 stand
the odium of bad purchases. Ii Mr.. Mcdonald
did so Chairman OF he last Fire Department
Committee the blame should be placed with MIN
and net with the present committee"
Clerk Russell said that the reason poor hose
had gotten into the department was that there
was a desire 10 obtain hose for 81 a foot, and
that could only be hlJy-pound hose to the length.
Chief ocannel had always Insisted upon having
length.
Ii was concluded by Mr.. Barry that no hose
purchased " the present administration had
burst, and that the poor quality of hose had been
bought by the Supervisors OF preceding boards.
After some further discussion Of the matter The
Committee adjourned for one week.

MRS. BEACH'S COMPLAINT.
She Has Her husbands Business Placed

She Has Her husbands Business Placed
in Receivers Hands.
In the pending suit for divorce Of Fannie
Beach against George D. Beach, Judge
Wallace on Friday last appointed n. A.
Smith receiver, to take charge of the COM
munity property, which consists Of home
stead on Shotwell street, saloon on Third
and Bryant streets, horses, drays and wag-
ons, all valued at $500.
Yesterday the question as to the receiver
ship came up again before Judge Wallace,
and after some discussion it was agreed
that Beach should be permitted to carry on
his business without power to sell, the re-
ceiver still to hold possession of it.
Mrs. Beach in her petition stated that she
married the defendant in 1880, and that
they have one daughter, 9 years of age.
She says that Beach earns $50 month out
Of the business. and that she has aided in
the accumulation of the property 10y keep
ing boarders, nursing sick people, and other
ways. She accuses him of gross cruelty, in
that he remains away from home for days
at time, drinking and carousing with disso-
lutte companions; in that he applied very
abusive language to her, habtualy uses
her very brutally, and pulls her by the hair
and strikes her. He also refused her medi-
cal attendance when she was i'll and threat
ened to cut her TO pieces with butcher
knife. She further accuses him of marital
lnfidelity.

HARBoR COMMISSIONERS.

Merchants Using the Grain Sheds VIII
All Be Treated Alike.
The session Of the Harbor Commission
ers yesterday was principally devoted to a
delegation from the Chamber of Commerce,
which appeared to oppose the granting of
any privileges in the use of the grain sheds
that are not secured to all alike under the
law. 1t seems that certain merchant
wanted to store his grain there pending a
sale and the others objected to this as an
unfair proceeding. The Commissioners re-
solved to extend no special favors.
A good deal Of time was also consumed in
devising ways and means to accommodate
the traffic of the narrow-gauge railroad and
of freight teams while the new bridge is
being built and after the old bridge has
been taken out of the way of the contract
ors building the sea-wall Finally it was
found that the new bridge could be put in
temporary shape for both purposes.

THE METAL AND COAL MARKETS.
Metals are stiff. The advance in copper

Pine lath ana flooring has also gone up.
Now is a favorable opportunity to advance
prices, but both the local and export de-
mand are very brisk and the output is reg
ulated by the combined companies.
Coal shows no particular change, though
1t rules steady, partly owing to the still
unsettled Wellington strike and partly to
slender stocks of foreign Goals. A ship
arrived on the 18th from Swansea with 1860
tons coal and 32S tons coke. This Is the
first coal vessel from Europe in two months.
In fact there has been but little coal re-
ceived from that part Of the world for up
ward of year. However, few orders
have been sent to Europe during the past
month or two, and it is reported that some
consignments are now headed this way.
MISCELLANEOUS,
A fair demand for cigars and tobacco is
reported
Dry goods are now quiet, but it is reported
that the volume OF trade this year is larger
than last year. Cottons have advanced z
to u cents, wOolens are firm at a recovery

of dry goods at New York during the first
five months of the year amounted to $685.

1890. were S131, 25S, GOO. This is SIS, 800, 600

the largest total ever recorded for any cor

Exports from San Francisco during the
