Rev. Father Fitzpatrick has been the pastor
for the last two years. All Hallow's
Church was built about five years ago, and
over $50, 600 has already been raid by the
parishioners from time to time, the money
principally being raised by means of festi-
walls. About $500 still remains unpaid,
and the popular pastor of the church has
every hope that the result of the present
fair will leave the church entirely free from
all financial Obligations.
At the opening last night Blum's Band
was in attendance and discOursed the
choicest music while the handsOmest young
ladies of South San Francisco fitted TO and

els and chances, and finding few to resist
their appeals in aid OF the worthy object.
All the booths are finely decorated and
present a neat appearance, not only by the
tasteful arrangement of cOlorS In the deco
ratinns, but also from the fact that they are
ovpraden with quantities of beautiful ar

things. and the young ladies VINO preside

Considerable interest is manifested in the
fair in South San Francisco, on account OF
the personal popularity of Father FitZpat-
rick. and the worthy object designed, and
the indications are from tie attendance and
returns last night that neat little sum will
be realized One of the prime movers and sup
pOrters of the fair is Henry +. Roskamp, 10
whose energy and eXertions considerable of
the success thus far attained is due The

RATES ON ICE.
The Charges Ten Times Higher
Than in the East.

R. G. Sheath, President of the Consumers
Ice Company, filed with the Board of Rail-
road Commissioners yesterday a complaint
against the Southern Pacinc Company, in
which it is claimed that there would be a
large demand for ice throughout the warm
valleys of the State were it not for the high
rates of transportation. The statement is
made in the complaint that the rates of the
Southern Pacific Company are ten times
as much as the combination rates of all the
roads leading from the great lakes. The
rate is stated to be in the East u cent per
ton per mile, and cents per ton per mile
in California. The complainant asks that
the subject be investigated, and that the
Southern Pacific Company be compelled to
reduce the rate on ice. The petitioner is of
the opinion that three times as much as the
Eastern rate should be allowed, or l y cents
per mile for each ton.
The annual report of the Southern Cali
fOrnia Railroad Company was filed with the
Board of Railroad Commissioners yester-
day. The total mileage of the road is 1856.

A Young Man From the Country Found
Dead in Room.
E. l.. Chitwood, young man who arrived
from P0rteryille, Cal, on Tuesday, was
found dead in room at Hackmeier's Hotel
yesterday morning. The room was filed
with gas that escaped from an open burner,
plainly indicating that asphyxiation was the
cause of death.
The deceased was 90 years of age and was
last employed on a vineyard near Porter
vile. He had intended to depart for Little
Rock, Ark, to-day and railroad ticket and
a small sum OF money were found in his
possession. Whether death was accidental
or suicidal it was difficult to determine.
The only letters left were two relating to
business matters. 1t was said that he had
been very respondent because he had not
been permitted to marry young woman of
Porterville with whom he was deeply in
love. His parents reside somewhere in
Arkansas.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict that
Chitwood came to his death by accident or
causes otherwise unknown to the iury

She Accuses a Prominent BluxOme-street
Wool Merchant.
Pretty Meta Wise, a seventeen-year-old
girl, was taken out of a MOrton-street resort
last evening by Officer Anthony, and locked
up at the Central station on charge of
vagrancy.
The girl says she owes her downfall
to man for whom she formerly
worked. Last March she left her home
on ATinna street, near Third, and went
to Napa. From Napa she wrote to her
parents that she was married, but instead
was leading a dissolute life. She first
fell into the clutches of the man two
years ago. For time he kept her in
Fifth-street clearinghouse. Once she left
him and went home, but was induced to
return.
The girl says that the man, who is sixty
five years old, is responsible for the ruin OF
two other girls, large number of whom he
keeps employed in the warehouse.

going to the dogs yesterday. Disguised
with the free cutting Of rates fol some time
past, the Commercial Union called a meet

dissolve it, and to allow every company to
make its own rates. This. Of course, meant
simply an insurance war. Had it not been
for The Dalies fire the compact would un-
doubtedly have dissolved; but as almost
every company had loss therein, and the
