The State Board Of Equalization re-
ceived letter from Mayor Sanderson of
San Francisco yesterday, asking it to fur
nish the data gathered by the board in
regard to the assessment Of san Fran

San Francisco DEAR SIR: Your letter
of the 18th inst. received, requesting this
board to furnish you with certain data.
The board regrets that it is unable to
comply with your request, for the reason
that said data is in daHy use by this board.
The regret is modified however, by a
knowledge of the fact that the original
documents from which the data was col
lated are all to be found on the records in
the City Hall in San Francisco. The at
tentiou of the Board of Supervisors was
called to the collection Of the data in
ample time to have obtained the informa-
ton for their own use, had they so de-
sired. Very respectfully yours,

DAWES CONVICTED.
The Jury Was Not Long in Deciding.
tho Case,


the Case.
Mike Dawes was tried in the Police
Court yesterday on charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses. The COM
planning witness was Robert Hamilton,
who alleged in the complaint that Dawes
sold him watch for $40 representing
that it was gold, when in reality it was a
brass timepiece.
Dawes had demanded a jury trial when
the case was first called, and at noon yes
terday the following jury was impaneled:
H. +. Dillman Emil Heinrich, William
Benning, L. Steinman, j. Lewis, John
Stewart, George Wheeler, l.. Phillips, J.
D. Tate, Marcus Graf, j. T. Richardson
and a. Coney.
Il. NJ. Clarken represented the defend
ant and Assistant District Attorney Buck
ley conducted The prosecution.
Mackall, the keeper of the dive where
Hamilton was swindled, appeared to be a
very interested party in the case, and he
made himself conspicuous in the court
room by constantly making suggestions
to the defendants attorney and fitting
about from one side of the room to the
other.
The testimony of the prosecution was
strong and evidently sustained the allie
cations of the complaint, for the Jury
brought in a verdict of guilty, after being
out but short time.
Dawes will be sentenced on the I'D in

Only Smoke.

The proprietor of q house on Ninth and
c streets, formerly known as the Pacific
Gardens, noticed his domicile filed with
smoke yesterday morning. He was un-
able to discover any fire, but caused an
alarm to be turned in from box 25 at
Seventh and G streets. When the de-
partment arrived Chief Guthrie went
into the house, and after a thorough ex-
animation of the premises failed to find
any fire. He concluded that the smoke
in the house must have fioated in from
some passing railroad locomotive.

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going
on in musical circles of late, but
there is much talk, among music
al people, of the marvellous cure
of Miss B, the high contralto
singer, who has long suffered
from a severe throat or bron-
chial affection, superinduced by
Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy, coupled with the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. For all bronchial, throat
and lung affections, and lingering
coughs, the Discovery is an un-
equaled remedy. When comph-
Gated with Catarrh, its use should
be coupled with that of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy.

DECIDED UPON SUBMISSION.
switchmen Conclude Not to Make a Bad
Matter Worse.

Judging from present indications there
will be no further trouble between the
Chicago and Northwestern railway and
the discharged switchmen, nor Is there
any likelihood of any disturbance
occurring on other roads Tbs
grand lodge of the Switchmsn's Nh.
tual Aid association met yesterday and
and discussed the action OF the supreme
council Saturday. The course pursued by
the representatives of the traiumen and
President Sergeant was unanimously con-
demned, and at one time il looked very
much as il the switchmen would with
draw from the Federation. After some
discussion, however, it was decided not
to do so, but for the present at least to al
low matters to remain as to they were.
Expect some OfhciaI Scalps.
Grand Master Sweeney, in reply to a
question as to whether the association
would withdraw from the federation,
said: Il do not quite see what power we
have to do so. We do not hold he rank
and file OF the Brotherhood of Trainmen
responsible for the base action of their
officers Grand Master Wilkinson and
Grand Secretary Sheahan, and we do not
believe that the brotherhood will sustain
Brotherhood of Trainmen at this present
moment that will result in the over
throw of those officials at the next meet
ing. We do not hold the Northwestern
railway really responsible for the recent
difficulty, but we believe that Wilkinson
and Sheahan and certain section Of the
Brotherh God of Trainmen were RESPONSE
BILE for the whole difficulty"
Grand Master Sweenev's Adyica
"What will be the action OF the swift CHI
men in the futuref" was asked.
"If they take my advice, and I think
they will. they will go back quietly to
work. We have no wish to cripple the
Northwestern or any other road, nor to
Inconvenience the public, and think we
shall be able TO show the people that we
have good discipline in the Switchmen's
association, and that switchmen are not
such bad characters as some people would
like to paint them"
Meeting of the Discharged Men.
Brick layers hall was flied with switch
men from all parts of the city last night
to hear the report of Grand Master Swee.
ney on the. proceedings of the supreme
council Vice Grand Master Downey
spoke briefly, denouncing the action of
the trainmen who have taken the places
of discharged switchmen. Grand Master
Sweeney spoke at considerable length.
condemning the representatives of the
trainmen and firemen in the supreme
council. All he could do was to advise
those switchmen who could get employ
ment to do so. He could do nothing until
he was told they would be supported bv
kindred organizations. The meeting
wound up tremendously, Mr.. Sweeney
being loudly cheered.

Remarks on the Result from Men on Both

Remarks on the Result from Men on Both
sides of the Question.
The contest conferred from first to last
on McNerny. This was evident from the
utterances of the trainmen. Grandmas-
ter Wilkinson said: THE action of the
switchmen on the Northwestern road was
unjustifiable. The decision of the coun-
Gil was against them. They are arrogant.
They kicked on the discharge of Lindsay,
then ingalls,, now McNerny. We cannot
be dominated by them any longer"

Merry" said a trainman, because he is a
member in good standing in our organiza
ton. He was one of the first members of
the organization, and has always lived up
to its rules and the railroad company's
orders. There are some men in the
switchmen's order who want to run all
