Driving Contractor.
A pile-drsvirg contractor named Wallace Lang
was instantly killed yesterday morning at
Smiths Core, by being struck by ponderous
Pile. Lang was in the employ Of the Lake Shore
4 Eastern Railway Company at the time OF his
death, and yesterday he went out to Boulevard
with another man TO unload some piles that
were on a car which was sidefracked. The piles
averaged seventy feet in length and were very
heavy. The two men rolled the piles OF the
car into the water, preparatory to making
great raft of them. One of the long piles on the
car became unbalanced and one end slid from
the car to the trestie. the other end bounded up
and caught Lang with tremendous force fairly
on the chest. tossing him fully ten feet into the
air. Lang came down head foremost and his
head struck on the iron rail of the track, crush
ing the skull over the left eye.
Either of the two wounds would have proven
fatal, and as il was. he was killed instantly.
Coroner Horton was notified, but ascertaining
the circumstances of the case, he decided that
the fatal occurrence was purely accidental, and
he therefore did not summon jury. The body
WINS removed to the morgue.
Lang wns about 50 years of age, and leaves
young wife and little child, who reside at 217
Battery street Mrs. Lang is wild with grief,
and because of her suffering was not allowed to
go to the morgue to see the dead body OF her
husband last evening.

Four weeks ago last Sunday James P. Nc
Laughlin, contractor and builder, residing at
Thomas and Poplar streets. got up in the morn
ing, shined his shoes, walked out of the house
and has not been seen since. He was somewhat
involved, and had mortgaged his wife's team
for 500. Mrs. Mclaughlin, who is a highly re-
spected Christian lady, is left to buffet with the
world and to support her child, bright little
girl, alone. But she says she does not desire
her husbands return, and does not care to hear
from him. She says that since his departure
she has been annoyed by outsiders, and that a
man called at her house at o'clock Tuesday
morning and inquired impertinently into her
affairs, and that because she refused to receive
him at that hour he went away and car sed the
publication of an incorrect story concerning her
husbands disappearance

A Fight Ob..ructs the Car Track.

At s:45 yesterday morning an unusual OBJ
struction delayed the car on the West Street &
North End Electric Railway for few minutes
Two men were lying across the track at the foot
of Virginia street, silently and fercely strug-
CLING in each Others embrace. Finally one of
the passengers separated them and they arose
completely exhausted. One was as bald a. .
billiard ball and had large lump on his right
cheek, while a streak of blood trickled down his
cheek. The other was q short, stout man, who
had q cut on his nose, from which blood was
also slowly dripping. When asked their names
neither responded, but turned and rapidly
walked across the street and down the hill to
Shantytown, among the beach-combers.

Suit Against San Francisco swindler,

Suit Against San Francisco Swindlers.
SAN Francisco. April 17.-Suit was fled today
In the superior court by the people of the state
OF California upon the complaint and informa-
ton of w. h. H. Hart, attorney general, against
the San Francisco public stock exchange The
complaint is filed for the purpose of preventing
the defendant from doing business, as the attor-
ney general claims that the exchange, BY its
members, conducts business in violation of sec
ton SO of the penal code of the state. and in
violation of the laws of the state and ordinances
of the city and county Of San Francisco against
conducting lotteries, gambling and games of
chance, and is therefore Illegal and against pub
lie policy. The attorney general after recting the
articles OF incorporation and the constitution and
bylaws OF the stock exchange sets forth that all
bids for the sale of stock on the board are made
through the agency of what is called and
known in the bylaws as the "main phono-
graph and that all bids and offers dictated to
Photographic cylinders to be announced by the
.main phonograph" for the purpose OF purchase
or sale are made by the person debating the
alleged orders without the hearing of the public
and without the hearing of any person who
may buy q sell on said exchange other than the
operator. It il further alleged that no one but
the operator knows what the prices are fixed at,
and that in many instances the man who die
tates to the phonograph is the owner of certain
stocks himself and can therefore benefit HIM
self to the detriment of the public.
