FAYLOR'S HAND.

San Francisco Senators Want to See
What 1t Contains.
Some time after the late notorious Legis-
trTe adjourned a suit was brought in the
Superior Court 10y George Taylor against
Senators Banks, Broderick, Maher, Hamill,
Williams, Ragsdale and others. whose names
were not given, and Dick Chute, a we'll
known politician, for $1,000 for services rem
dered. Just what these services were Mr..
Taylor did not take the trouble to state, but
it was supposed when his complaint was
filed that they had some connection with the
action of the Legislature On certain meas
ures.
The political lights in the local armament
spoke contemptuously of Faylor's suit.
They Thought 1t was a bluff and nothing
would ever come OF it. but in this they are
mistaken. T. is highly probable that the
public Will soOE be acquainted with the
nature of the services Mr.. Taylor rendered
the statesmen, for Senator Ragsdale of So
nOma, whose name appears on the list of
defendants, filed an answer yesterday by
his attorneys.
Taylor Is called upon for a bill of partic-
ulars of the work done and services rem
dered, and he and the other defendants filed
demurrer to Faylor's complaint on the
ground that it does not cUutain sufficient
facts TO constitute q cause for action,

and had long deep tabs edged with jet. The
yoke and collar were of faded green silk,
covered with rich jet embroidery.
One of the prettiest things in a recent
fashionable trOusSeau is an evening bodice
of tea-rose satin, draped in front aud on the
left side with Brussels lace in a rose bud
design, and that is in itself worth small
fortune. A garland of tea roses, without
foliage, crosses the bust agonally; it out
lines the shoulder, and is carried around to
the back to be brought to the front again,
appearing in loop below the left arm.
This garland is Topped with narrow velvet
ribbon of a shade exactly matching the
flowers. and is caught with bow-knots and
hearts of diamonds.
This particular bride is fond of pink,
which is in way fortunate, the color is so
much in fashion. A pink tea-gown is quite
as well worth description as the bodice
with its roses. Old pink peau de sole is the
material which composes the princess coat,
frilled and plated and trimmed with flat
flounce in old Venetian lace. 1t opens upon

Twenty-four Deaths from il in
January-Nearly All in
this City.

The County Board Of Health has issued
January. aud it shows that there is a
great deal Of typhoid fever. For some
time past the health authorities
have claimed this, and they sent
circulars to all the physicians
in the county requesting them
to report all typhoid cases the same as
contagious diseases are reported. But
one physician responded to this appeal at
the last meeting Of the Board, and he re-
ported only one case for the month of
January. The certificates of death from
typhoid fever for January snow that in
Jersey city alone there were twenty
deaths from the disease. The mum Der OF
cases to show such q mortality must have
been very great.
The Board was astounded Mt this and
directed the counsel to embody in the or
dinance compelling physicians TO report
all contagious diseases, that OF typhoid
fever. Henceforth doctors VIII be com
pelled to treat typhoid fever the same in
theirsreportssas smallpox or scarlet fever,
and the people will then know how much
typhoid there is. The death rate from
this epidemic for February was eighteen,
making in two months thirty eight deaths
from the disease, ana only one case of
sickness reported.
For January, according to the census os
1885, the death rate from all causes
in the county was 21 per 1000, annual
death rate per / 900 was 254 4
The total number Of deaths for January
was 020; 225 were children under five
years old from measles,'2; scarlet fever,

but three in the balance of the county.
There were five deaths in the county

ing the groceries away, and when Craw-
ford put in an appearance he was made a
prisoner.
He and Naarder then had a quiet con-
yersation, and announced that the mat
ter had been amicably settled The jus
tice when so informed permitted
