SUPERVISORS.
SandersOn's Second Veto Ignored
by the Board.

The Supervisors were detained for a
much longer time than usual last night to
open bids received for supplying the city's
institutions with provisions. The bids were
all referred to committees, and will be
passed upon at future meeting.
The Mayors veto of the resolution giving
permission to d. j. 0Callaghan to repair
the premises at 116 Davis street was over
ridden, Ebert and Hyer only voting to sus-
tain It,
Hyer explained that he originally voted
against granting the permission, but he WIS.,
tied the place the other day and found the
repairs asked for had already been made.
He did not see the sense in yetoing a meas
ure when the object sought had been accom-
plished. He would vote against the veto.
TABER ALSO EXPLAINS.
Taber said that his reason for standing by
the resolution was that like permission
had been granted TO Wangenheim, whose
premises adiOin, and he did not believe in
such unfair discrimination. 1t was the
burning of Wangenheim's building that
caused O'CallaghRn's damage.
The resolution proposing to prohibit the
distribution OF printed matter on Market
street was indefinitely postponed, Burling.
Aver and Carnes voting against postpone
ment
'Faber thought it would be the means of
cutting off the livelihood of a large class OF
workmen, or at least greatly reducing it.
Wilkinson was of like opinion, and sec
Onded his motion to postpone
Buriing urged that it should go to print,
and let those who object to it come before
the board when the measure comes up on
final passage.

quiring the Governor to appoint such official

ciued unanimously not TO make any such
request of the Governor
The report of the Laguna Survey Com

PARTIALLY HEARD.
DR.. Hall's Examination for
Alleged Murder.

The preliminary examination of DR..
Samuel II. Hall, charged with murder, in
having caused The death Of Ida Shaddock
by malpractice was commenced in Police
Court yesterday afternoon. The first wit
ness called for the prosecution was Dr.. Ed
ward Gray of Benicia.
He testified that be made an autopsy on
the body of the deceased at Benicia, and
was assisted by two other physicians. 1t
was commenced within one hour and half
after Miss Shaddoek' S death. The condition
Of the body showed intense peritonitis,
which was evidently tile result of criminal
operation.
After a rigid cress-eXamiDatiOn by J. A.
Mcguire. the counsel for tue defense, an adj
jouTnment was taken until 80 o'clock In
the evening.
DR.. John Fl. Janeway, II. s. A, and
surgeon at Benicia Barracks. was placed on
the stand at the evening session and testified
that he was present at the autopsy made by
Drs. Riley and Gray, though personally he
took no part in handling the body. He de-
scTibed fully and in clear terms the con-
d1tion OF the corpse. The autopsy clearly
demonstrated that criminal operation had
been performed. A sharp instrument had
been used and death was necessarily certain
as a result. Violence was clearly used.
The operation had been performed GER
tainly not over eight days before death. A
day before her death it would have been i'm
possible for her to have left her bed of her
Own will, and her removal fastened the end
al least twenty-four hours and must have
caused her untold agony. The slightest
motion would have given her excrnciating
pain. GangTene set in three days before
her death. The body was well nourished
and showed no signs of any previous
disease. In death she looked from eight to
ten years older than she really was. The
fatal injury could hardly have been self
inflicted. The witness identified a photo
graph as that of the deceased.
Mr.. Mcguire croSs-eXamined DIR. Janeway
at length as to what effects certain medi-
cineS would have. The witness stated that
The immediate cause of death was shock,
superinduced by gaBgrene.
George Waterman, an agent Tor the Ger
man Demokrat, was the next witness. and
stated that he was on the train at the Oak
land Mole ON which DR.. Hail placed Ida
Shaddock, seating her IN the car that he was
in. He positively identified Hall as the
man who brought the girl in. She was In a
dying condition, insensible, and her eyes
rolled wildly.
Further hearing of the case was then con
tinued until II 40 to-day.

A DIVE TO DEATH.
Weighted With a Basket an Aged
Nan browns Himself.

" Man overheard 70 was the cry that
aroused the crew of the pilot-boat Peabody,
lying at Lombard-street Wharf, about 5
o'clock yesterday morning. An aged man
had been seen to jump from the new pier of
the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail-
way, and the splash was heard by those on
board the Peabody. A r0W-bOat was sent
to the spot where the man was seen to fall,
but be had sunk and did not rise to the sur
face.
The suicide was seen by Special Officer
Deuser, who was sumo distance from the
pier. He had the appearance of being about
65 years of age. rather tall well dressed and
had gray HAIR and beard. The man carried
a basket, which he tied to his waist with
ropes. Then placing heavy basalt block
in the basket he closed the lid and jumped
into the water before Deuser could reach
him.
A few minutes prior to this the man had
taken drink in Lombard-street saloon
and informed the bar-keeper that lie would
never take another, as he intended to drown
himself The weighted basket, of course,
caused the man to sink to the bottom. Boat
men fiocked to the scene and began the work
of trying to raise the body with graphing
irons. For many hours they worked with
will, but without avail 1t was not until at
ter o'clock in the afternoon that the grap-
pling-irons lowered by Sidney Mau, an ex-
perienced boatman, caught in something.
That object was finally drawn to the sur
face and proved to be the body of the
suicide. The remains were removed to the
Morgue and a closer inspection was there
made of them. 1t showed that the deceased
was a man of about So years of age and
neatly dressed. He had gray hair and
bald spot on his head. The only article
found in the pockets were a Chinese lottery
ticket, several keys and three cotton hand
kerchiefs. One of these was marked with
the initials u. W."

A Deceptive Cod !

We have thrown away pity upon the
Hindo fanatics who sacrifice their lives by
casting themselves beneath the chariot of
the god Juggernaut, and allow themselves
to be ground and mangled by the terrible
wheels.
Are we not in this Christian country do
ing the same thing?
Only we worship different god-MONEY.
Do you doubt it? Look around you:
Men of brains, men of mightiest intellect
men whose master minds might sway the
destinies of nations, bend their necks to the
chariot wheels of the god-MONEY. In
this terrible struggle all sacrifice health and
strength. Pale faces, sunken eyes, weak
and shattered nerves. unhinged minds with
the awful doom of insanity. nervous pros
tratiou, paralysis, and 10 many eases prema-
ture death, are the penalties of this unholy
worship.
