LUCEY'S DOCTOR BILL.
He thought the City Physician Was
Working for Nothing.
Major Gett and Judge Davis Have a
Set-to-A Gamblers Misfortune
Judge Henry Perplexed.

In May of last year Edward Lucey, a
gambler, was run over by railroad train
and had his legs badly mangled. He was
taken to the Receiving Hospital, where
City Physician Nichols amputated the
crushed limbs and performed other med
ical services.
When Lucey began to recover prepara-
tions were made, as is the custom in such
cases, to have him removed to the County
Hospital. But the young man and his
friends objected to his going there, and
pleaded with the doctor to have him cared
for at some private place. DR.. Nichols
consented to take the case, and had Lucey
placed at the Ridge Home, private hos
pital, where he treated him daily.
Lucey's friends took up collection of
several hundred dollars, and placed $500
on deposit in downtown saloon for the
doctor.
USED UP THE MONEY.
DR.. Nichols did not collect the money
Immediately, however. When Lucey re-
covered sufficiently to partially enjoy
life again, he began to use up the $500,
until only $40 was left. Then the MANNED
mans friends warned the doctor that un-
less he collected the money there would
no iIOH6 1tIt. LII. NlcnO1S, HIS
attorney, w. A. Gett, Jr., attached the
so, and on yesterday the matter came up
for hearing in Justice Of the Peace Henry's
court.
DIR. Nichols gave the facts as he under
stood them while on the witness-stand,
and then Lucey told his story. The lat
ter said that he supposed all along that
the doctor was acting in his capacity of
City Physician. He did not know that
DIR. Nichols free services ended when a
patient left the Receiving Hospital.
The doctor, on crosS-eXamination, stated
that Lucey himself employed him, after
he left the Receiving Hospital, SO there
could be no excuse for his ignorance.
SOME LEGAL TILTS.
During the hearing of the case there
were several amusing tits between at
torney Gett and eX-Judge Davis, Lucey's
counsel. Each accused the other of
knowing no law nor anything else, and
would probably be at it yet had not Judge
Henry interfered and threatened to throw
the case out of court if they did not desist.
There was no other testimony offered
except that given by Lucey and DIR.
Nichols, and the case was submitted on
that evidence.
Judge Henry scratched his head in a
perplexed manner, and said he was at a
loss for an opinion in the matter Just
then. He said he would have to think it
over and read up the statute which fixes
the duties Of the City Physician. He
promised to render decision in few
days.

A STATE MANSION.
Proposition To Erect a Residence
for the Governor.
1t May Be Built by Citizens, Who Will
Take Chances of Getting Their
Money Back.

The subject of providing a suitable
home here for the Governor of the State
has been revived since the unfortunate
death OF Governor Markham's little
daughter, Genevieve. The San Francisco
Post last evening, in an article on the
subject, says it has been conclusivelv
proved that the recent affliction OF
Governor Markham, the death of his little
daughter, was due to the defective plumb
ing of the house in which he lived in this
city.
1.-The lamentable occurrence it saws.
has caused the question of the State
building suitable guhernatorial resi-
dence to be agitated with more vigor than
it has ever been before, and from the
present outlook it is more than probable
that individual citizens will take the mat
ter into their own hands,"
1t has been proposed by several repre-
sentative citizens to erect suitable resi-
dence for the Governor by private sub
scription and then appeal to the next
Legislature to reimburse those who paid
for the structure.
The proposition has been fayorabIy re-
ceived by good many people, and it is
soon be taken in the matter.
Among those of Governor Markham's
friends who are earnestly in favor of car
rying the new idea into effect is Colonel
Chadbourne.
In conversation on the subject Mr..
Chadbourne said that it was about time
that the great State of California should
erect building fit for the chief executive
to live IN. The present condition of affairs
was simply disgraceful to State of Cali
fornla's size and Importance
"A building which would meet all the
requirements of the Governor is essenti-
ally necessary, in my opinion" contin-
ued Mr.. Chadbourne.
1t should be so arranged that he would
have large dining-room and other
apartments necessary for public enter
tainments, and at the same time contain a
sufficient number of rooms for the resi-
dence of the family of the Governor.
where they would be practically apart
from the rooms given up for use on pub
lie occasions.
"The building should also be in close
proximity to the State Capitol. The Gov
ernor is liable to be called upon at any
hour of the night to go to the State Capt.
tol, and he should reside in the neighbor-
hood. If this movement to erect Gov
ernor's mansion takes shape, rs hope IL
will, will cheerfully subscribe and help
in every way to make it success.n

The improvement noted from day to

they think he will survive his wounds,
the real nature of which are not yet posi-
lively known.
City Physician Nichols, who is attend
ing him, says he has no doubt that there
is a bullet in the patients brain, a con-
siderable quantity of the latter having
ooZed from the wound. The doctor fur
ther says he has been enormously quoted
as holding to the theory that the Manning
woman had confederate to assist her in
the assault upon Arlington. He says he
lieve anything of the kind. He is of the
opinion, however, that the officer was
struck upon the head before being shot.

opened month the privilege was so appre-
ciated that it became desirable to divide the
time. Now there are Wednesday bowling
parties, and Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day groups; every day except Sunday the
alleys are in use by women.
Considered merely as an exercise, bowling
is of course open to serious objection that it
devel0pes one arm and one side of the body
at the expense of the other. Any bowler
can easily obviate this by learning to bowl
with the left hand as well as the right, but

ously set TO work to deal fairly by both
sides of his body. 1t would interfere with
scores, and the record-making instinct is as
keen in the jolly bowler as in the painting
hare-and- hounds man. Probably it is bet
ter that one side of the body should be de-
veloped than that both should be neglected.
But it is the social aspect of bowling that
most compels interest. The club has long
been the citadel Of masculine privilege.
Women have gazed on it from the outside
with wondering eyes, scolded about it,
longed to be in it, and wondered what was
going on within It's to them mysterious re-
treats. They have invaded the club through
the bowling-alley. the restaurant and the

NAPTHALY'S SARCASM.
He R0uses Captain Douglass Ire
and Is Jailed.

Benjamin Napthaly, the Police Court at
torney, whose time is usually occupied in
endeavoring to keep out of Jail persons
charged with crime last night had several
messengers busily hunting bail for his own
release from custody. On the City Prison
register against his name were charges Of
disturbing the peace and carrying con-
cealed weapon.
Napthaly was the attorney for May Mas
tiers, who was arrested for attempting TO
lead young girl into an immoral life. The
woman was acquitted in the Superior Court
Wednesday and made preparations to sail
for Guatemala to-day. Yesterday Mabel
Dickinson swore out warrant against Miss
Masters charging her with petty larceny.
1t appears that the complainant was an in
mate Of the County Jail when Miss Masters
was about TO be tried and loaned the ac-
cused woman hat and coat with which to
make preseutable appearance in court 1t
is alleged that the articles OF apparel were
not returned to the owner, hence the war
rant.
Miss Masters claims she delivered the hat
and coat ut the jail after her acquittal and
exhibits receipt for them signed by Depu-
ty Sheriff Mccarthy. When she heard of
the warrant being Issued for her arrest she
consulted Napthaly and with the attorney
called at the Central Police Station last
night. Naptnaly exhibited the receipt and
asked that she be allowed to go on her own
recognizance until this morning, but Cap
tain Douglass refused to grant the favor.
The lawyer then requested that she be per-
mitted 10 remain in the assembly-ro0m until
bonds were procured, but the Captain or
dcred that she should be imprisoned imme-
diately. AS an officer was conducting her
to prison Napthaly sarcas tically said: "Y on
had better put handouts on the woman.
She is a dangerous criminal.
The remark reused Captain Douglass ire
and he ordered the attorney out Of the sta
tiUn. NapthalY refused TO obey and was
arrested for disturbing the peace. A re-
volver was found in his possession and an
additional charge was accordingly entered
against MIN.

track. The men were under the super
intendenee of Frank Lester. Darkness had
hardly settled over the scene when the
street was Lit up by scores of lamps and at

up the cobbe stones and clear space LOT
track. A number of teams soon appeared
loaded with ties and rails. B0th sides of
the street were attacked at once. On being
asked the reason of the raid Mr.. Lester in
formed CALL reporter that the orders he
got were to have the double track lald from
Market to Folsom street before daylight.
This is the new electric road, and fearing

work and had no fear but the job would be

UNITED EXCHANGES.

One Roof May Cover the Commercial
Organizations.
There is some talk in commercial circles
about consolidating the various commercial
organizations into joint stock corporation
which should purchase land and put up a
building in which they could all be housed.
The project was first broached at the last
banquet of the Produce Exchange by the
POSTMASTER, A. Gerberdirg, and was then
received with considerable favor. Since
then some leading business men, notably, it
is said, c. B. Stone Of SearleS q Stone, have
been discussing details and trying to ad-
vance the proposal, but no definite steps
have been yet taken.
1t is urged on behalf Of the scheme that
the various organizations would be materi-
ally benefited by q saving in office rent, and
that much time would b. saved TO business
men if the Institutions were all under the
same roof.
1t is proposed that each association should
have lis separate rooms, aud a large COM
mon hall should be constructed for a COM
mon meeting place in which members of the
various organizations should discuss mat
tiers of general commercial interest. Several
leading business men who were spoken to
on the subject yesterday were strongly Of
the opinion that the scheme was highly
feasible and would be of great advantage if
carried out.
The following business organizations were
mentioned as among those which it would
be an advantage to amalgamate: The Mer-
chants Exchange, the Produce Exchange,
the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of
Trade, the Manufacturers Association, the
Gamers Association and the Lumbermen's
Association
