SHOT TO KILL.
Foreman Ballinger's MurderOus
Attack on a Boy.

A seventeen-year-old boy named Peter
Gallagher was taken tc the Receiving Hos
pital at $50 o'clock last evening with a
lagher, who is an employe of the Pacific
Rolling mills. was on his way home from
work at the time the shooting occurred.
At the foot of Seventh street, on the Po-
trerO, he saw James Ballinger, foreman for
the Hollis's Development Company, in the
act of beating boy named Murphy with
wagon spoke. Ballinger had Murphy down
and was beating him over the head when
Gallagher, who is friend of Murphy, in
terfered. He rushed in and struck the fore
man with his fist, and then, as the latter
still retained possession of the club, he
started to run away. Ballinger secured
revolver from the Waterman and fired at
the heeting boy The shot, a 45-calibeT,
struck Gallagher in the back, under the
right shoulder blade, and passed entirely
through his body, coming out about two
inches above the nipple Of the right breast.
The Injured boy was taken TO the Receiving
Hospital, where it was found that the bullet
had pierced his right lung. There was but
very little hemorrhage, but the boy suffered
considerable pain, particularly in the right
arm, which seemed to be paralyZed Gal
lagher is badly hurt, but Will probably re-
cover.
Immediately after the shooting Ballinger
disappeared and is still at large. The muir
derOuS attack, it is said, was entirely un-
called for, in view of the fact that Ballinger
was armed with club and had nothing but
q couple Of boys to contend with. He was
experimenting the street grading at the
foot of Seventh street, and had attacked
young Murphy for pushing the dump-cars
around.

Lizzie McCune was arrested at II o'clock
last night on suspicion Of wanting to get
married, and locked up in the City Prison.
J. J. Jones, the forty-year-old Romeo who
is holding up the other end of this distress
ing love affair. occupies a cold stone cell in

this is as close as he can get to the object OF
his hearts desire
Jones Was arrested Tuesday night at the in
stigation If the girls mother, who had every
reason TO believe that the marriage, If con-
suwmated, would prove failure. Mrs.
McCune then instituted search for her
slXteen-year-Old daughter.
1t seems that Lizzie had been taken In
charge by JOAN Dillon, friend of Jones.
He took the girl to the house of his brother.
Mark A. Dillon. at 1907 Dupont street. She
was located at the above number by Officer
Anthony, who made one visit to the house,
but was unable to get his hands on the
blushing, wOud-be bride He then returned
to the Jail for instructions. Mr.. Jones,
whose heart was nearly burs ting with grief,
wrote note to Lizzie, in which he request
ed her to call and see him. Before she
could make up her mind as to what she
would do. Lawyer McGrath, brother of
Mrs. Dillon, called in to see his sister He
listened to the story of the prosecuted
maiden, and it enlisted his sympathy. So
he started with her TO the police station TO see
what could be done. This is what was done |:
The girl was locked up, sObbing as if her
poor heart would break. She sad, how
ever, that she would rather go to jail than
return to her mother. Mr.. Jones is also In
jail and doesn't know exactly when he will
once more breathe the pure air Of freedom.
Lawyer McGrath went home. Mrs McCune
was notified of the finding Of her daughter
and some sort of an understanding will be
reached in the Police Cour5 this morning.
The trouble endured by some people in
getting married is only equaled by the suf-
ferng entailed in breaking away from each

PROMPT PAYMENT.

The Executors OF Mrs. O'Connor's VIII
Comply With Her Wishes.
Yesterday afternoon the executors Of the
late Mrs. Bryan O'COnnor made payment
of the various legacies and charitable be-
quests named In that benevolently disposed
lady's last will and testament. This prompt
and timely action on their part brings Joy to
many deserving people, especially to the
score of clerks among the employees of
OCOnnor, Moffatt 81 Co., to whom, as a
token of her appreciation of their long and
faithful service, Mrs. O'Connor bequeathed
the sum of $1,000 each; and also to the de-
voted servants OF charity in the several
schools and orphan asylums remembered by
the deceased. Among the latter are num-
bered St Vincent Orphan Asylum, the
Youths Directory, Old Ladies' Home He
brew Orphan Asylum, Chidren's Day Home,
San Rafael Orphan Asylum, st. Francis
Technical School and other similar insttu-
ti0ns devoted to the care Of the helpless or
afflicted.
The munifcent provisions made by Mrs.
OC0nnOr for the numerous relatives of her
deceased husbanSs including even those of
their number who united in cOnteStiDg his
will, was only egusled by her generosity
toward the charitable asylums of the COM
munity, in which were accumulated the
fruits Of his honorable career as a merchant.
The wishes of the deceased were carried
out by the executors of her estate immedi-
ately upon the expiration of the probate
term, and neither "the laws delay" nor
the neglect or failure of its servants inter-
vened in the contamination of the work
mapped out In the will.

The South Side Improvement Club Agree
to Grade 1t.
At meeting Of the South Side Improve
ment Club last evening, President c. w.
Pope reported that the Executive Committee
had waited on the Board of Supervisors to
petition them to make an appropriation for
fixing the official grade in the district The
committee had understood that the Super
visOrs had consented to make the appropria-
ton and were therefore surprised to see that
no appropriation for the purpose had been
made in the tax levy. The committee were
instructed to see the Supervisors and press
the matter on them again.
The Executive Committee further re-
ported that they had interviewed the Park
Commissioners aud petitioned them to mae
adamize the boulevard which they had
already commenced along the ocean beach,
the club bearing the expense OF grading,
and to open drive from the south drive to
the southwest corner OF the park. Both
requests had been acceded TO, the Commits
sloners stpulating that the club try to get
the Supervisors to increase the park grant

SPORTING NOTES.
Shannon and Steel Matched by
the 0ccidentaIS.

The members of the San Francisco tn
letic CLUB feel considerably put out on ac-
count of the manner ia which the Pacific
Association of the A. A. L. treated it5
representative, McQuade, who defeated the
celebrated athlete, Purcell, at the recent
championship meeting. A protest was en-
tered by an athlete named JelleniCk on the
ground that McQuade is a professional. 1t
appears that McQUade stated to some
Olympians prior to the games that he could
run 100 yards IN 10A seconds. Prompted
by some prominent member Of the Olympic
Club who does not desire to see any first
class man represent any other club than the
Olympic, Jellenick entered protest, and
when called upon at the recent meeting Of
the association to explain why lie consid-
cred McQuade a professional, suffered for
a while and finally stated that he considered
any amateur with an unknown record who
could run 100 yards in I0A seconds to be
professional in disguise. The explanation
was not satisfactory, and after lengthy
debate the association decided TO postpone
action upon the case until next month.
The Occidental Athletic Club has matched
Billy Shannon and Jack Steel, the pugilst
who trained George Godfrey, to fight ten
rounds on the evening Of the contest be-
tween Smith and Slavin. Steel and Shan
non are heavy hitters, and it will not sur
prise some if the contest will, in the way Of
an eXcitable 6stic feature, be more interest
ing than the event of the evening.
According 10 q dispatch received last
evening from John L. Sullivan, the latter
seems to be very much amused with letter
in a morning paper from Peter Jackson.
John l.. says that jackson may be an
artist scientifically, but he never could
punch, and never can whip thoroughbred
fighter.
The Alameda Boating Club IS determined
to establish a record on this Coast for fast

medal.
The San Francisco Gun Club will hold its
next shoot at the Oakland track on Sunday.

good shooting may be expected at the clubs

know they never commence operations there

they will be made aware Of the action taken

"What will be the effect upon the market?
Slight, think. Seal-skins are too high as
it is, aud the furriers of the world, in an
ticipatOn of some such action, have been
quietly preparing for it. There is a large
supply on hand, and more than that, skins
are never marketed until year after they
are caught. AS far as substituting some
thing else is concerned. the idea is absurd.
There is no fur in the world that can take
the place of the seals skin, and it is my ex-

anticipate any great disturbance of the
market, but of course that is merely my
opinion. and can only be verified by time"

TIE STATE FAIR.
Unusual Inducements TO Encourage County
and Individual Exhibits.

SACRAMENTO. June 1.-THE State Agri-
cultural Society will tomorrow issue cir
cular letter to Boards of Supervisors of
various counties and persons interested,
calling for unusual efforts this year in the
way of county exhibits at the State Fair.
The society calls attention to the fact that
California's agricultural interests are each
year advancing, and to the necessity of
making public the agricultural possibilities
of the id ydual counties.
The circular goes on to say: "In the for
nation Of our premium list for 1891 an addi-
tonal class is made for the encouragement
of exhibits by individuals to display their
farm products. The premiums are as fol-
lows: For the most extensive, perfect and
varied exhibit of farm products grown by
ore person OF firm, $3.50; second best, $50.
This exhibit NAV be made with and form
part OF the exhibit Of the county where the
farm is situated, but a separate entry must
be made Of the same. Under this class for
county exhibits the first premium is in
creased to $50.
The Importance of the exhibit made by
separate counties, showing the productive
qualities Of the various sections Of our State
has become apparent each year since the
system was inaugUrated by this board.
Recognizing the interest made manifest in
the past by both the public and exhibitors,
through whose energy and enterprise Yalu-
able agricultural lands nave been brought
10 the notice of the world, and counties
with small populations have increased in a
manifold degree by reason of the producer
having come forward with his products that
were of such a quality as to enable him to
meet all competitors. The board has deemed
it proper TO raise the premiums IN this de-
partment, and to that end have appr0-
priated $500 to be distributed among
the various counties making displays
The remaining exhibits shall re-
ceiye premiums in proportion t.
their excellence as compared with
that receiving the first premium. cOmpeti-
ton 10 be between counties only; that is to
say the entire exhibit by one county must
compete against the entire exhibit of
another county. The premium awarded
to each county exhibit will be paid TO the
committee in charge Of the exhibit.

Grunskv, who weighs about 40 pounds, was
