sensations Of the Great Charity.

This is the last day and night of the Kir-
mess, and those who have not seen it have
missed the opportunity of lifetime. Every
night has been success and each night has
seen largely augmented audience. Last
night there was not vacant chair, either in
the auditorium or the gallery. The pro-
gramme was so long that but for the fact
that the japanese buresque. the Scotch
dance, the Spanish dance and the Maypole
dance were omitted it would have been i'm
possible to have got through with it. And
even with this concession q large contingent
from Oakland, who had arrived too late to
witness the lawn tennis dance, made re-
quest that it should be danced for their ben
eft and it was reproduced with all of its
beautiful effects in lieu Of one of the floor
dances.
There will be two performances to-day -
one, the matinee, commencing at o'clock
in the afternoon and closing at O'Clock.

Fell Into the Water While Uncon-

Arthur Bunster, well-known real-estate
agent who conducted an Office at 632 Market
street in partnership with Thomas Haven
der, was drowned about o'clock yesterday
afternoon by falling. into the bay from
off what is left of Meiggs Wharf.
That section of the city has long been
noted as the scene Of many suicides as well
as accidental drownings, but the little knot
of spectators assembled near the foot OF
Powell street when Bunster t0pped into
the waves was greatly startled by his tragic
death.
A woman dressed in black was waving
her handkerchief to friend on an outgoing
steamer, when suddenly she threw up both
hands and uttered piercing scream. She
had seen a man who sat upon stringer OF
the wharf fall headlong into the water.
Her screams attracted the attention 81 Mrs.

THE CAUSE OF BLINDNESS.
Microscopy Discovers simple and Ger

Microscopy Discovers simple and Ger
tain Preventive.
In lecture before the Microscopical So
ciety on Wednesday evening Kaspar Pischl,
MD, said that fully one-thjrd of the blind
ness in Europe is caused by what is known
in medical science as ophthalmia neona-
forum. The remedy is so simple and so
efficaciuuS, when treated in its early
stages, that in most European countries
laws have been passed making it compul-
sorry on nurses to report within six hours
TO designated authorities any Inflammation Of
the eye in infants. New York is the only
State in America thus far to legslate on
this very important subject, and the law
passed there is similar to the European
form. The lecturer urged that all States
should do likewise. A two-per-cent solu-
ton Of nitrate of silver would cure ninety
per cent of the infants thus afflicted.

FATAL WOUNDS.
Tragic Sequel to Fight in Port Costa
Saloon.

Saloon.
PORT CosTA Oct. S.-A bloody cutting
scrape occurred here last night, in which
Denny Lucy received wounds which will
undoubtedly prove fatal. BE received
a cut eleven inches long across the
abdomen. allowing his iutestines to
drop out, but lie himself held them
up while walking a distance of fifty feet to
a room where lie was LAID on cot Doctors
were sent for and they pronounced the case
hopeless. There are many conflicting stories,
but from all that can be learned it seems
that Frpnchman named Ed Latour has
been rather badly treated by some men at
different times. Last night, while partly
drunk, lie remarked that he could whip
any one in the town, but was
promptly knocked down by one of the heavy
We ghs. He then left the saloon, and pro-
curing a razor returned and made further
uncOmpiimeutary remarks which were
again re entet.
In the fight which followed a man named
Casey was slightly cut, NJ. Cronin was
siashed across the face and forehead and
Lucy received the wounds which will cause
his death. LatOuT was covered with blood
and had his clothing nearly torn from

One of the annoyances of the entertain

the fact that during the lull in the music by

booths and almest every one is giving a
separate entertainment, so that the audi
