KILLING OF KiRLIN.
Policeman Thomson Will Have a Heal

Policeman Thomson Will Have Hear
ing Next Tuesday.
1t is said that Robert Kirlin did not own
the knife with which he tried TO stab Police
man Thomson before the latter mortaly
shot him. His friends say the knife might
have been passed to him by either Rudolph
Breitbarth, John Crotty or Patrick Haverty,
who were creating disturbance on Nato-
ma street just before the fatal affray oc-
Cured.
When questioned about the matter yester-
day Thomson said "The theory that de-
liberately murdered Kirlin and introduced
the knife TO shield myself is absurd. My
treatment OF kirlin shows that / had no
anlmus IN the matter. i did not want to
arrest him and sent him home, even after
he had called Inc the vilest kind of names.
Crotty stated that / clubbed him when we
first came upon them in the street. That
too, Is absurd, because whenever police
officer Is compelled to club man he always
arrests him, and it would be as much as a
mans star is worth to club u man and then
let him go. L know that Kirlin had a
knife and that he attempted to stab me- 1t
was found by Mills, who was stranger TO
all o. rs, and he did not leave me from the
time the knife was found until reached the
police station, so that could not have cut
my own vest without his knowledge"
BY consent yesterday the prelimary exam
ination of Thomson on the charge of murder
was continued until next Tuesday. An
application for his release on bail will prob
ably be made before Judge Joachimseu to-
day

Brothers on Kesrny Street.
Originality In advertising is now being
recognized as the keynote of success in
business, and the well-known clothing firm
of Raphael Brothers on Kearny street, cor
ner Of Morton, has amply proved the propo.
siiion.
Their latest move is In decorating their
store in honor of the Fourth of JHly. The
entire front of their premises is ablaze with
red, white and blue bunting and colored
lights. Long streamers extend from the roof
TO the large plate-gl windows OF the

ing are pictures OF General Grant aud Presi-
denis Lincoln aud Garfield. Over the upper
story windows is a large picture of WASH
ington crossing the Delaware. Beneath il
are two other typical patriotic pictures.

the most elaborate display is made. In one
is llfe-siZe Uncle SAM" dressed in the
regulation uniform, and beside him is a
representative young American with large
Harrison hat on his head. In the other
window there is a life-size image of Gen
erai Washington upon horseback.

WHY THEY DID NOT MEET.
The Democratic County Committee Has
No Business to Transact.

The Democratic County Committee Has
No Business to Transact.
There has been considerable speculation
as to why the executive committee OF the
Democratic County Commi ttee did not meet
on Thursday night. There was to have
been a meeting, but there was no quorum.
The reason given by one Of the committee
yesterday was that there is no important
business now to be considered, and the
standing committees are probably not pre-
pared TO report. Then" said this same
authority, there is nothing in the rumor
that the committee was not to meet until
Judge Sullivan returned. Such an idea is
ludIcr0us in the extreme. When the COM
mlttee has business TO transact IL will IN eet
and dispose Of il regardless Of any man or
set of men.
There is an effort among a particular
set to attempt 10 programme the next con-
yentiOn and dictate its movements, but the
party IS too independent to tolerate such
thing, and the men who attempt il Will sue
ceed only in injuring themselves"

About the various Republican head
quarters there is apparently nothing going
on, but there is considerable quiet and i'm
portant work being done, and it is believed
that the two county committees are on the
eve of a compromise, the nature of which is
kept dark for obvious reasons. Two or
three propositions have been under con-
sideIati0n, but nothing definite will be
determined until some time next week. If
no conclusion is reached the Republican
State Central Committee will then step in
In the interests Of harmony, ard do some
thing decisive.
IF the State Central Committee decides
TO take any action in the matter" said one
OF the alliance men Yesterday, then for
our part we will simply quit and abide by
its decision. San Francisco cannot afford
to jeopardiZe The State on the national
ticket. and we should listen to the higher
authority of the Central Committee, and
those who attempt TO bolt from its edict
