Care OF THE PRISON SICK.
To Revise the Rules of the
County Hospital.
A Nuisance Complained OF and the Health
officer Ordered to Deal With 1t as
He Sees Fit.

The Board of Health held meeting last
night In the new City Hall. The full board
was present, with Mayor Sanderson In the
chair
Reports were read from the various city
and county officers, among which were
those Of the City and County Hospital. Aims
house and Quarantine Officer.
The Health Officer reported that there
were 468 deaths during the month Of Sep
tember against 465 for the same month last
year. Among these there were nineteen
cases of diphtheria, thirty-three from heart
disease and twenty-five from pneumonia.
DIR. NAYS complained Of the method now
in vogue for the treatment of criminal ST ck
He said that at present there is really no
place for patient who was under arrest.
If they are taken to the City and County
Hospital they must either be watched all
the time or they would escape, and If left
in the City Prison or County Jail they
could not be cared for properly.
The board decided that If possible they
would right this wrong and the members
will look into the matter before the next
meeting and if suitable quarters can be
obtained in the new prison they will be
fitted MP without delay.
A petition from the California Medical
College requesting that their students be
allowed 10 witness operations anu atCenQ
lectures in the County Hospital was denied
by unanimous vote.
For some time past some parties who own
vegetable gardens in the neighb0rhood Of

streets have been in the habit OF irrigating
these gardens with sewer water. and not
only this but they allow this water to run
for quite a distance uncovered. This has
become offensive to the property-owners OF
the district and they sent in petition to
the Health Board, which was read last
night. 1t is stated that although there
have been no serious eases OF sickness re-
sulting from the smell of the stagnant water,
there is constant danger that such will
be the case before long if the matter is not

Angry Members.


Angry Members.
The weekly meeting of the Ocean View
Improvement Club was held last Monday
evening, President L. Morrison I'M the chair.
The committee appointed to walt on the
Board OF Supervisors about the electric
lights reported that they had attended the
meeting of the board on October 10,
and stated their case. but that the board re-
fused to act in the matter further than to
refer the matter to the Street Committee.
Mr.. Pyne, in few pointed remarks,
showed how the district had been treated in
the last two years by Supervisor Taber and
the present Boaid of Supervisors. Not one
dollar of the city's money had been spent to
improve Ocean View, but some of the i'm
proyements made by the former Supervisors
had been taken away, much to the disgust
of the property-owners.
Mr.. Pendergast called attention to the ap-
preaching election, and it was unanimously
carried not to support any candidate for
Office who had heretofore turned deaf ear
TO Ocean View improvements. The club
unanimously Endorsed Mr.. Parsons for SUI

The man who held the harfS feacocA'
plummet for this big chimney did as ticklish
piece OF work as has ever been done in this
city in the bricklaying line. At least his
employers say so, and they, being practical
jOurneymen themselves ought to know.
Charles Hadey held the plummet. He is
native son, who learned his trade in this
city and has followed it for the past seven
years. HIS an all-around expert and
man 10 be trusted with particular work.
Harry Peacock is the son of Contractor
Peacock, and though quite young man,
is already very skilled brickmason.
George Towns knows his business like
brick. He's been a brickayer for good
many years and can handle the trowel with
the best of them.
Ten years ago there was not better
bricklayer in San Francisco than George
Peacock Indeed. you will find many brick
layers who say there were none as good as
he. But that was decade ago, and at that
time George Peacock was no spring chicken.
Still. he's not an old man yet and can hold
his own with most Of the skilled men. They
do say his son Harry promises to be as ex-
pert as ever the old man was.
His partner and Hadley tell funny
story about George Peacock in connection
with the building Of the big chimney.
They we're laying the last few rows of
brick at the top, when something or other
occurred that made IL necessary for the
elder Peacock to descend to the ground
floor. The chimney is 175 feet in height

about three seconds.

ARREST OF A SUFFER-.
Peter Boyle Taken In for Attempte'
Illegal Registration.

Peter Boyle Taken In for Attempted
Illegal Registration.
One arrest was made yesterday by order
of United States Supervisor of Elections
on charge of Illegal registering. The man
had given his name as Peter Boyle, residing
at 337 Howard street; but inquiry at that
address failed to disclose any lodger of that
name. When Boyle was charged with being
a fraud and was taken into custody he said
that his true name was Boyle, but that he
had given his name to the lodglng-house
keeper on Howard street as Peter White. as
he wished to conceal his place of residence
from certain arquantances who desired to
use his room to indulge In the morphine
habit. Boyle, who to all appearances Is
himself victim of the vice, said that he was
by occupation decorator, his branch OF the
art consisting of arranging strips OF colored
paper in curves of beauty above chandeliers
in shaying-shops and steam-beer joints.
At the Marsha's Office the prisoner pro-
duced from a book in his pocket various
specimens of his handicraft. In the absence
of sympathizing friends able 10 qualify as
