PROPERTY-OWNERS MEET.

The Point Lohos Improvement Society
Elects Officers.
The regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Point Lobos Improvement Society was held
last evening at Vorrath's Hall. President
Parker in the chair. Five new members
were admitted to the society.
A. l.. Leonard and several other members
criticized the work of Contractor L. F. Den
nisOn, who is now repairing the street be-
tween Second and Third avenues. The
specifications provide that there shall be a
uniform excavation of nine inches below the
official grade. to be filled with broken rock.
The speakers stated that the contractor had
not complied with these requirements, not
having removed the old macadam in many
places. Exception was also taken at the
slow progress of the work, the contractor
having applied for and been granted a sixty
days extension of time. A resolution was
adopted asking that the Superintendent of
Streets be instructed to send a deputy 10
oversee the road work on Point Lobos, be-
tween First and Twelfth avenues.
Charles w. Lamar moved the following,
which was referred to the Executive Com
mIttPe:
Society petition the Honorable Board of Super
visors 10 extend the ordinance providing for the
tWo-cow limit from Sixteenth avenue west to the
ocean, south by ID street, and north by the Presi
do Reservation.
Officers for the next six months were
elected as follows: Thomas G. Parker,
President; L. q. McMulliD, Vice President;
j. II. Richard, Recording Secretary;
AdOphe Grant,, Financial Secretary; III.
NUrrath, Treasurer; Alexander Andrews,
Sergeant-at-Arms. The President appointed
the following Executive Committee: Joseph
Fgel. George Il. Fletcher, w. c. Wise,
Adolphe Grantz, w. NJ. Bunker.
The Secretary was instructed to COM
municaIe with the Board of SUPERVISORS
asking that the main outlet of the Richmond
District sewer be resurveyed from Twen-
tieth avenue and Lake street northwest to

STANDARD TIME.
Report of the Superintendent of the Naval
Observatory.

Report of the Superintendent of the Naval
Observatory.
The Superintendent of the United States
Naval Observatory, in recommending the
adoption of a standard of time in the United
States, says in his annual report:
The fact that the Government has never for
mally adopted standard OF time for the trans
action of business has led to yeXatious compllca-
tons In land entries In territories In various
ways and channels 100 well known 10 particular
lie. a standard of time Is quite as important
one OF weight or measure ana the time dis
tributed from the United States Naval ObseTva-
tory through tue Western Union Telegraph
Company ought 10 be legalized by an act OF Con-
Eress.
Remarking upon the personnel OF the
observatory, in the same document, he adds;
"lmpOTtant improvements IN instruments
and in methods of observation, as well as
new and equally important lines of research,
many OF which are actively pushed forward
at the principal foreign Government Observa-
tories, have been entirely neglected on ac-
count of the lack of practical astronomers TO
make independent observations and to carry
on special Investigate ons in conjunction with
other OOseryatOTes."
Notwithstanding the criticism, it is a
well-known fact that the observations and
discussions OF Professor Asaph Hall are
equal II not superior to those Of any other
Government observatory, and that the dis
cuSslon OF the observations made at the
transit of Venus in 1874 and 1882 will be
more comprehensive and more satsfa factory
tnan any ever undertaken before. More
than half OF this work is in print. 1t has
taken long time for the simple reason tnat
the appropriation Is only large enough for
the employment of one person.

A PICKLE BAR-KEEPER.
Lille Burns Motive for Swallow

Lille Burns, domestic, formerly en-
ployed in the family of man named Den
ker living near Lime Point, last night at
tempted to end her existence in OSmer IL
Co.'S saloon, corner of First and Brannan
streets. She swallowed a quantity of lin-
ment, but through the auickness Of the
frightened bar-keeper in notifying the po-
lice she was speedily conveyed to the Re-
ceiving Hospital She was pronounced out
of danger after being operated upon.
The young woman ascribed her attempted
suicide to the fickleueSs of the man upon
whom she had bestowed her affections.
That young gentleman is John Stefens.
who presides over the bar of the saloon
where she made the internal application of
the rheumatic remedy. Lille stated that she
believed the bar-keerer returned her love
with fervor equaling her own in inten-
slty, but discovered that he WAS frequently
in the company of another woman. Lilies
wrath became aroused and she went a-gun-
ming. Last Wednesday night she encoun-
tered SteffenS and her rival on Brannan
street and was about to peTfOrate the body
OF her former sweetheart with n bullet
when her brother interfered. Lille was
disarmed and, adding insult to injury, Stef-
fens Knocked her.
The Tilted girl last Monday night wrote a
letter TO the bar-keeper announcing her in
tentiOn of killing him and then committing
suicide. StetfenS regarded the matter as
joke, and when he was visited by the girl
last night he began to tantilize her about her
avOwed determination TO take poison. Lille
grew angry, and Selling glass, emptied the
contents of bottle into it and swallowed
The fluid before she could be restrained,
The saloOn-man then understood that the
girl was earnest in her intention, and tele-
phoned 10 the Southern Police Station for
assistance.
The patient last night, after being placed
in Matr0n Kerr's charge. said she would de-
Stroy herself at the first opportunity, but
would send Steffens to the other world be-
fore doing so. The girls relatives live at

George Rogers, alias Chauncey Packer,
hardened criminal, who had been par

This criminal is q rObber who once beat
almost to death POlk-street saloon-keeper
named Marabella and then robbed him, for
which he was tried, found guilty by a Judge
and jury and sentenced to twenty-five years
Imprisonment in San Quentin. He had not
well regained his freedom when he returned
to his old calling, in which, however, he was
luckily frustrated by the watchfuIness OF
Police Officers McGrath and Briggs at 3
o'clock yesterday morning on Suffer street,
between Hyde and LeavenwOrth.
The officers had occasion to 90 out along
Suffer street to HYDE where they turned
back to come downtown. About midway
between Hyde and LeayenH Orth Streets
they noticed a street lamp extingnished.
McGrath said it was a suspicious circum-
stance, and, going toward the lamp, found a
lath againstit. The lath undoubtedly had
been used to turn off the gas. An inspection
was made of an alley, darkened because the
lamp was out, and there the officers found

handcuffed III moment, and when being
led away let fall a heavy substance, which
was a rude slung-shot, consisting of stone
weighing about pound tied up tightly in a
silk handkerchief. He was taken to the
Police Station and charged.
The arrest of the robber was barely in
time to save bloodshed. Some newspaper
men who live in the Western Addition walk
up Suffer street about O'Clock in the morn
ing or shortly afterward. They were few
minutes later than usual yesterday morning
else they would have encountered the rob-
Der, who might have been saluted with
lead.
In the prison yesterday the robber was
identified as George Rogers, sentenced on
prison. He had served only thirty-seyen
months of his sentence when pardoned by
the late Governor. Though hardened in
crime this ex-conyict is not quite % years OF
