neer, and by the terms of the contract
all differences between the city and the

DOWN WITH A CRASH.
To-day at 2:20 m. the front of the
two-stOrT brick building, 10Y and l09
Camp street, gave ay and fell to the
pavement with great crash, carrying
with it the electric ! ght wires that were
strung IN front OF the building. The
strain was so great on the wires that
tall electric light pole on the corner of
Camp and Lamar streets was broken aud
wires were scattered over the streets for
radius of bIock. AS luck would have
it, no one was hurt, and the electric
light company set large force OF men
working to get the wires in place by
night. The building was one of u row OF
six that had been condemned and was
unoccupIed.
TOUGH NEGRO
to-day pulled a revolver on Policemen
Pegues and Alexander while they were
trying to arrest him. He made u strong
resistance and had TO be brought 20 sub
mission with the butt end OF a pistol and
club before he would surrender. He
has been under suspicion for some time
and gives his name as Joe Cummings.
From letters found on his person it is evil
dent he has been in devilmeut of serious
nature before he struck Dallas.
THE WALKING MATCH
to-day distance of ten miles, was wit
messed by an appreciative audience.
G. Fl. Richmond undertook to walk the
distance named against Cartwright,
Kennedy, Mayhem, Welch and Weisman,
each walking two miles. Richmond
made the first five miles in forty seven
minutes. and the whole ten miles in one
hour and thirty-fve minutes. During
this time his opposition only walked nine
and quarter miles. Richmond walks
to win, and is not on the "fake' order.

=. The Stocktons gave two woeful exhibit
tious of baseball yesterday at the Haight-
street Grounds.
When the gong sounded for the first game
about 1000 people were scattered throughout
the stands and bieachers, and this number
was augmented 10 probably 1000 before the
Pc commencement of the second contest
There was nothing commendable about
the first game except the spirited if not
brilliant work of the Nets, who played as
though it was matter Of life or death with
them.
The Gastowns started off wretchedly. viz
tually giving the home team the victory in
the first inning by their defective work.
Fudger was in the box for them, and he
alone acquitted himself creditably. But six
well-separated hits were secured off hun.
Armstrong caught him fairly well.
Owing TO his badly bruised hands Fogarty
played in right field and Pache was placed
at second, position he is not calculated TO
shine in. George Kelly. late of tn amateur
Burlingtons, was stationed at short. where
his work was as good as the average.
CouGhlin pitched great ball for Frisco and
was well supported Everett and Issacson
being the only players on his side to err.
The runs were made as follows: Shea,
first up for Frisco, was sent TO the initial on
balls. Stevens hit sharply 10 Wilson, who
had Shea easily forced at second, but Pache
dropped the ball. Then Kelly let Ebright's
hit 60 through him, Shea scoring On Han
ley'S hill TO center, which went by Holiday,
Stevens and Ebright crossed the rubber.
" Blockers" making his tally on Wilson's
failure to stop Holidays throw to him.
No more runs were scored until the sixth,
when Frisco took two aud Stockton one.
Everett beat out his hit to short and made
second on passed ball He cleverly stole
third. Speer was given first on balls, stole
second and went to third on Pache's error
of Armstrong; throw, on which Everett
also scored. Cougnlin's pretty single gave
his battery mate a tally.
Selma opened the sixth inning for his
= team by placing clean one in right, and on
Isaacson's failure TO stop Coughlin's throw
he went TO second. Holiday singled to
center, Selma scoring, but on an attempt to
make third on Hoffman's fly out, Holiday
was neatly caught by Levy's splendid and
rapid throw to Ebrght, completing fine
double play.
Each team made a brace of runs in the
ninth. Hanley's hit to Pache forced Ebright
at second, and then Rube brought forth
wild ell from the kindergarten by smack
20 ing the ball for four bases to the clubhouse,
:. Hanley scampering IN just ahead of him.
Everetts tumble gave Wilson a life in the
Stockton's half and kelly's sacrifice sent
him to second. A passed ball advanced him
to third, and Fogarty's slashing triple to
deep left sent him over the rubber. Another
passed ball gave FOgarty the last run Of the
game. The score:

THE SECOND CANE.

Shortly alter clock the second game
il such it could be caled-commenced and
il was ''beaut' for the FriscOs.
Of all the many rocky, saffrOn-hued exhi-
billions ever served by the Stockton team.
=, this one can certainly lay claim to the in-
e. glorious distinction OF being the worst
Not having any pitcher in the team except
brought TO the front, and he was berry"
for the Frisco sluggers. What runs the Nets
couldn't make by their hitting, the Gas
towns allowed them by making the most
1udicrOus errors whenever an opportunity
presented.
Pache and Armstrong in particular were
well up in the art of slipping up on easy
chances, they dividing only eight between
them.
The ex-Colonel, Sammy Shaw, occupied
the box for the Friscos, and he evidently
left his disagreeable manDerisms with the
Oakland team, for in this game he was
strictly business" and did exceptional
work. His support was of a high order.
The home team scored heavily in all ex-
eepting four innings. In the first Shea
hunted to third and beat out the hit. Ste
VEINS made Shea's effort an earned run by
following with triple. He scored on
Ebright's sacrifice, on which Pacbe erred.
Ebright stole second and by Pache's second
error made third. Then occurred pretty
play. Hanley banged a vicious liner at
Kelly, who grasped it and quickly sent it to
Wilson, doubling up Ebright.
In the second single by Everett, Isaac
sons double and Shaw's single, together
with Shea's and Speer's sacrifices and Arm
strong's wild throw, gave them trio OF
runs.
The fifth was productive of seven. Levy
got his base on balls and Everett, Speer and
1saacson each took the initial on successive
fumbles by Pache, Wilson and Kelly. A
sacrifice then followed and after that three
singles, another sacrifice and errors by Fo-
garty and Armstrong, which brought the
Friscos' score up to twelve runs.
In the sixth force hit, single, a base on
balls and a double by Ebright sent three
more over the rubber, and then the penn ant
winners rested till the ninth, when they
tackled on another three.
Selma was then pitching, having taken
Chase's place in the eighth inning, and af
fording no little amusement thereby. He
gracefully dropped Hanley's pop fly. A
wild pitch allowed Hanley to move to Sec
ond, and then Levy placed one in short CEN
+. ter, B,ockers tallying. Speer's hit was a du-
plicate Of Levy's, and Isaacson's three
Dagger brought home both Speer and Levy,
the first baseman being put out at the plate
in trying TO stretch it into home run.
StOckton's solitary run was made in the
third on Hoffman's single, base on balls,
his steal of third and Wilson's single to left.

The OakIands Easily Defeated in Their
Closing Game at the Capital.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 16.-The Oaklands
played their last game of the season in this
city to-day, and were easily defeated by
score of 10 to 4. Over 5000 persons were
present. Harper YVES very effective ana
pitched a good game, barring wildness; but
five hits were secured off him. He gave
nine men bases on balls and struck. out Tour
batsmen. Carsey was MT marc from tle
start, four doubles and an equal number OF
singles being secured off him. he struck
nut eight and gave five men their bases on
balls. Lehman played brilliant, ball at
short despite very lame arm, which gave
him great pain every time he threw tho ball;
Roberts gathered four difficult fly balls, and
Goodenough three. Goodenough led in bat
TIM, making three hits and he stole three
bases. Cedar hurt his arm yesterday and
was unable TO play. Hoffman played a
splendid game at third in his stead. Willie
Walter Veach has signed with Robinson for
the remainder of the season, and made his
first appearance with that team to-day.
Although out of practice he played fair
game, his errors being hard chances. Pete
Meegan umpired a great deal better game
than when here last. His decisions to-day
we're generally good and were well received.
In the first inning GoOdenough went TO first
on balls, stole second, and scored on Rob
ert's double. Roberts scored on Bowman'S
single and c. O'Neilrs error. Bowman TAX
ing third on the error and scoring on Staple
tons single. In the third inning Roberts

fifth Goodenouga hit safely. and stole second
and third. Roberts went to first on balls,

An Investigation Into the Accounts shg-
gested.
Cornelius Mooney called last night at the
Office of THE CALL and directed attention
to a resolution passed by the Board of Fire
Commissioners at their last meeting re-
queslinE the Board of Supervisors to pay
$50 to disabled firemen.
In this connection he stated that there
should, in his opinion. be on hand at the pres
ent time a sum of $4,000 to $4,000 as re-
lie t fund, and suggests that money paid out
for injuries should be drawn from that.
"For over twenty years." he added, every
member of the Fire Department, varying
in number from $50 TO GOO, has been as
sessed at the rate of 81 month for the
maintenance of this fund, and during all
that time no report of the amount on hand
has been made public. 1 have been told
that there is from $1,000 to $4,000 on hand,
but no one seems to be positive about it, l
am interested to know what has become of
all the money. and an investigation should.
/ think, be instituted at once. 1t could
certainly injure no one. and might lead to
interesting developments"
