STREET WORK.
A Day for Hearing the Post
Street Extension Matter.

A large number of prOpertY-Owners in
teTested in the proposed extension Of Post
street were present at the meeting Of the
Street Committee Of the Board of Super
yisors yesterday. The Executive Commit
tee Of the Richmond Association asked that
consideration of the Commissioners report
be deferred till another day so that the
entire board might be present The request
was granted and the time fixed for Tuesday
evening at o'clock. The report it is
understood, will be vigorously opposed
chiefly on the ground that the proper dis
trict was not originally outlined. This has
resulted in unjust and burdensome assess
ments.
The committee decided to recommend the
petition of pTODerty-Owners that the name
of Center street, from Harrison to the bay,
be changed to Sixteenth street In order to
secure uniformity in numbering.
The protest Of Eddy-StTeet property
owners against permitting the METROPOLITAN
Railway Company TO construct poles and
overhead wires on that lhOTJughfdre from
Market street to Mason was placed on file.
The inference lent by this action is that the
case will be controlled by the law. Ii the
cOmpany'S original franchise gives the right
10 use overhead wires east Of Van Ness
avenue, the prOnbitOry hue IN the OTdi-
nance, then the board can do nothing. IL
the pr0hi btyry ordinance prevails, then
nothing need be done,

WHITE CAMBRIA TIES"
The Order of DeacOnesSes of the
Methodist Church.

An unObtrusive charitable institution, but
one that none the less has vast scope for
doing good is the Order of Deaconesses of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, now es-
tablished in this city at 9O5 Steiner street.
In 1887 Mrs. Lucy r. Meyers organized
the order in Chicago, and branches have
been established all over the United States.
1t is controlled by the leaders of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church and the Ladies' Mis-
siOnary Society, while in California the
Methodist Episcopal Conference officials ex-
ercise full supervision.
The object Of the order is to afford an op-
portunity for young ladies of the Methodist
faith to devote themselves to reIigi Gus du-
ties and the exercise Of charity to the needy
of all cTeeds The poor, the sick, the soul
weary and all in distress are the objects OF
their care, regardless of causes, creeds or
color. Young lady volun teerS from all the
local Methodist churches are admitted on
a three months trial to the home at 905
Steiner street. Then, if found available,
they enter on two years probation and
training course, and after final eXamina-
ti0n are licensed as deacOneSses. The course
Is religious studies In the morning, and in
the afternoon visits in the districts assigned
by the pastors of the various local Methodist
churches to give such aid, advice and conso-
lation as only a religious charitable woman
can give.
The home is neatly but not luxuriOusly
furnished and is under the superintendency
of Mrs Jennie Eberman. AT present there
are only four inmates, though there are ac-
c0mmOdat0nS for eleven. There is no
remuneration attached to the position of tbs
prObati0ners. All they receive is their
board and necessary clothing the entire
course.
A deaconess, when she goes outdoors on
any errand either OF charity or other busi-
ness, is habited in neat black dress and
bonnet such as any lady would wear. The
distinctive mark of the order is a medium
sized white cambria tie at the throat and by
this sign a deaconess is easily recognizable.
Even in the lowest slumS and dens Of de-
praYity where their duties lead them, the
garb of a deacOness protects her from all in
suit and her advent Is hailed as q blessing.
With SO many demands on them TO supply
the deacOnesses would be most grateful for
any donations of clothing, provisions or
money to alleviate the sufferiugs Of the de-
serving INDECENT and suffering. All such
supplies can be delivered to the Superin-
tendent at the home, 905 Steiner street.

MADE A SURE JOB.
Suicide Of Chinaman From the
Sea-Wail.

4 ChuamGn ended his earthly career by
lealing into the bay yesterday afternoon.
The fatal leap was taken about 80 o'clock
from section Of the sea-wall ana was wit
messed by John Williams and Enos Ham
mersley, lOngshOremen, ard lad named
Murray, who was on his way home with a
bag of crabs he had gathered on the wharves.
Hammersley and Williams say they we're
walking along the ea-wal toward Meiggs
Wharf when they saw Chnaman coming
toward them. He had a small black satchel
or gripsack in his hand and from the way he
carried it it was apparently very heavy. He
paid no attention to them, but uncOncerned-
lY walked out to the edge of the wharf and
placed the satchel on the stTingeT. Some
thing about his actions led them to watch
him. but they had no idea that be intended
committing suicide.
After placing the satchel on the stringeT
the cody drew What looked like a strap Of
leather from his pocket ard bound his left
| wrist to the handle. This took but minute,
| then stepping over the stringer he plunged
| head first into the bay. Murray, Williams
and Hammersley ran to the edge of the
| wharf, but the suicide had disappeared and
| only few bubbles remained to show where
he had sunk beneath the water. From the
description given it is thought the suicide
was Sin Coon, the cody who jumped into
the bay few days ago from in front of the
Merchants and Ship-owners' tug-boat Of
fee, but was rescued by the captain Of one
of the tugs. He had evidently filled the
satchel with bricks or iron yesterday and
then bound IL to his wrist, thus making sure
OF his work. 1t was little after high water
when the deed was committed and no doubt
the body was carried down the bay by the
pbb tide

FRESNO'S SCHOOL.
The Supreme Court Decides the Hughes
Ewing Tax Suit.

The Supreme Court Decides the Hughes
Ewing Tax Suit.
The Supreme Court has reversed the judg-
ment of the Fresno Superior Court in the
case Of Hughes ard others against Ewing
and others, to declare null and void tax
levied upon property for the purpose of
building a school-house. and to restrain
Ewing, who was Tax Collector, from sell
ing any of the lands in question.
These lands had been excluded from the
Fresno school district on September g. 1890,
by action of the Board Of Supervisors, who
transferred them to another district; but
prior to that date the electors had voted to
raise $4,000 for new school-hOuSe and the
trustees failed to certify the fact TO the
Supervisors until the 23i of September.
On the first Monday IN October the Super
visors at the time of levying the county
taxes levied tax sufficient to raise the sum
voted upon all the property in the district,
including Hughes land. The Supreme
Court held that the lower court erred IN de-
Gliding for the Tax Collector, and reversed
its Judgment

Mr. CIunie Thrust Himself Into an Awk-

During the examination in the Pacific En-

Clunio asked John Hoescb, who was on the

using influence to obtain the appointment
of receiver.
"What was that question? ?" asked Judge
Slack, with startling abluptness and an ex
hbtiOn of anxious interest. The appoint
ment Of a receiver, rs l understand it, is a
matter entirely within the discretion Of this
court. Does that question imply that inhu-
ence is being brought to bear upon me in

HALE & NORCROSS.
The Daily Output of the Mine Is
Sixty Tons of Ore.

Interest in the Hale Il Norcross mining
suit showed signs Of reawakening ycster-
day The crowd Of auditors was much
larger than it has been for several days and
the dialogue mad less to DO with the dry de-
tails Of mining and milling.
William Prince, for many years foreman
OF the Hale Il Norcross mine, was called 10
the stand for the defense.
How many tons of ore does the mine
produce daily % he was asked by Attorney
MeSi X.
About sixty tons Of ore daily. About
December, 1857. considerable quantity Of
rich ore WIS found just above the 700
level. IT is worked upward to the 500 level
for over two years. / always took car sam
pies Of the ores and sent them TO Assayer
Meyers. The assay certificate returned was
given to Superintendent Heating, who gave
orders 10 send no ore t. the Nevada mill
which assayed less than So a ton"
Large quantities of such ore, witness ad-
mitted, had been sent to the mill, as 1t was
found imp SsiUle to separate it from the
more valuable ore, known as pay rock"
No ore worth less than Sl2 per ton was,
however, sent to the mill.
Tie witness said that he used to select the
Cag SAMPLES and send them TO the assayer
and he was aware that the battery samples
as returned from the mill were invariably
lower than the CaT-sample assays, and that
Superintendent Heating always growed
over the difference.
You have said that the assays of fine
ore were always richer than those Of the
coarser mineral Why do not your GER
tjfcates show the difference?" and as he
asked the question Attorney Baggett for
the plaintiff produced several certificates
which indicated no difference in the sample
assays If fine or coarse rock.
In spite of the certificate the witness held
TO his original opinion, and Mr. Baggett ex-
pressed surprise and smiling bIandiy said.
Then we will drop the witness"
Counsel for the defense, however. sub
jected the witness to a direct examination.
when he qualified his statement by saving
'it was generally So" Further hearing Of
the case was then postponed until Tuesday
