GUARDED With GUNS.
Armed Men Hold Possession of a
Broadway Building.
A Most Exciting Struggle Going On Between
N. Ferroggioro, the Owner, and
S. sanguinetti, the Lessee.

Armed men are guarding a three-story
frame rookery at the corner of Broadway
and Pinkney alley, beneath the shadows of
the gloomy County Jail. For week there
have been some queer gOings on in this old
structure, which was recently visited by
fire. While half a dozen carpenters are at
work repairing three men remain in the
building with shotguns and pistols ready
for USE
The building is owned by n Ferroggioro
who recently leased 1t to Samuel Sangui-
netti. There was a provision in the 10
years lease that 1t should terminate in case
any damage by fire should be in excess Of
Insurance. Two weeks ago when fire swept
through the building the damage amounted
to $500, while the insurance was only $500.
THE LEASE.
Nothing was said about the termination of
the lease. Sanguinetti pleasantly suggested
improvements and Ferroggioro began re-
pairing the building. For time the work
progressed without interruption. Ferrog-
gioro secretly made up his mind to cancel
tie lease, while Sanguinett as secretly de-
cided TO hold possession. Both avoided con-
versatiOn upon the subject.
Last Monday morning when the owners
carpenters returned to the building they
found the doors barTicaded by Sangunettl's
men. More than this. the lessee had placed
carpenters of his own at work. One car
penter tried to force his way inside the
rookery and a revolver was thrust in his
face At the same time some one shouted,
VamOse, presto" In this way San
guinettIs men held possession OF the build
ing until Thursday. On that day, however.
n force at Ferr0ggiOro's men executed a
flank movement and routed the enemy.
They forced an entrance through a side
door over the BuenO Gusto restaurant,
Sanguinetti's men were promptly routed,
guns and all, by the superior force.
sANGUINETLIs SCHEME.
A new scheme entered Sanguinettps mas
sive brain. He would again secure possess
sion by a new strategy. So he went to the
old City Hall and secured warrants for the
arrest Of two of Ferroggioro's men on
charge of battery With his men he accom-
panied a policeman to the building deter
mined to again take possession, il such an
opportunity presented. The scheme failed.
handed out $50 bail for each man wanted for
battery. The owner still holds the fort and
the lessee is devising another method to
Gust him. The men in possession are pre-
pared to resist all attacking parties for
long siege. All entrances TO the building
are barTicaded, and murderons weapons are
placed around the interior ready for service.
There are temporary beds for guards and
workmen. Meals are sent in through the
upper entrance to the adjoining restaurant,
aud the owners forces are prepared TO stay
until the trouble blows over. The police
have declined to interfere in the dispute,

SHIPPING CUT FLOWERS.
How California PosIes Are Sent to CT

How California Posies Are Sent to Chi
cago and New York.
Shipping cut flowers to Eastern cities is q
new industry. Already California seeds
and plants arc in high repute in the East
and even in Europe. In New York and
Chicago the big seedmen vii. not handle
any but California seed. Last year there
was short seed crop in Europe, and the
seedmen had to send to California for their
wares. And they we're so we'll suited at the
quality and the price that many of the
largest European firms have decided to deal
almost entirely in California seed.
But now comes an entirely new industry
that of Calf 0rnia cut flowers. It's pOSsibi-
ties are enormous. once perfect method of
packing has been secured. Tomorrow j.
II. Cam pbell and James SprOule will make
two shipments Of sweet-pea blossoms to
John l.. Thorpe, chief of the Horticultural
Department of the World Fair. at Chi
cagO.
Admittedly sweet peas are the most deli
cate cut bloss ON TO ship without spoiling
When the problem OF shipping sweet-pea
blossoms has been solved, ali other cut
flowers will be shipped easily.
Mondays shipments will be made in two
different ways, and should either of the
packages arrive In 6rst-class shape big
shipments for the market will be made at
once.
There are many methods of shipping
cut flowers" said Mr.. SprOule to a CALL
repO Tter yesterday, but / cannot say that
we a re Perfectly satisfied with any of them
We are still experimenting, that ia, so far
as long distances are concerned. To Denver
and Salt Lake, to the north and south, we
ship cut flowers every day and do ii sue
cessfuly, too. 1t is all a question of the
proper refrigeration, or proper moisture Of
the packages.
"One of the methods now employed in
shipping cut flowers to Denver, say. is TO
pack them In wooden boxes. The plumes
are laid toward the ends of the boxes and
the stems meeting in the center. Between
each layer of plumes is put either mostened
cotton-b batting or thin oiled paper. Then
| between the stems are inserted little wooden
| crOsspieces. so that there will be no Earring,
and over the stems Is laid moistened cotton
| Every dav we ship roses, carnations chrys-
anthemums. vi0lets, ferns, lilies and sweet
peas in this way, and have the greatest sue
cess. They arrive, after two days travel
| ing, in prime condition
Presently, as the demand increases and
we are enabled TO ship long distances, car
| load shipments will be made We are now
cultivating some very rare orchids for the
| Eastern market. The sweet peas that we
expect to send East are of an entirely new
| variety and some of them are very rare.
| The yellow primrose variety Is the latest.
| Then we have the Confess of Radnor, the
Miss Hunt, the Captain Of Blues and the
| BaTeatton.
YES; they all come from Menlo Park,
where they are cultivated in acre and tens
| of acres tracts"
Mr. Sproue is firm believer in the
! future of the cut-hOwer trade and predicts
| that shipments will some day be made clear
| to England.
This is a new industry for California, and

OF course he posters only ladies on the
street without escorts. This is his method:
He approaches lady, stops suddenly in
front of her OF at her side, pTetends TO pick
up card, aud says:
"Ah, pardon me, did you drop this?"
At the same time he hands her neatly
written visiting card with this inscription;
HENRY NIARSAC
French Embassador, g. P. o., City.
AT first the lady addressed is too much
surprised to be indignant and Jack, the
Washer" takes advantage OF this surprise by
putting the card in her hand, and says in
sinuatingiy:
II would be delighted 10 hear from you"
Then he raises his hat very politely,
bows. and is lost in the crowd before the
lady realizes fully the atrocitY of his trick.

The Injunction which prevents the Met

operating their cars by electricity by the
means of overhead wires along 0Farrell

company upon a line of action which the

The Metropolitan railroad proposes to
run electric cars over its line to Van Ness
avenue and then put on horsecars to Market

yenience and delay of transferring and
the slowness of the old-time horsecars,
