running TO and fro between stoppages and
breakdowns.
The downfall had softened the ground so
that in several places the rails spread, and
in one instance. owing to this, car ran
right off the rails on the top of the bill on
the the old Mission road, just beyond
Twenty-pinth street. and passengers were
a little shaken. They had to wait until an
other car hauled it on to the rams again.

repose on slab at the Morgue, where an
inquest will be held at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon. Witnesses to the murderous as
sault and to the subsequent fight of the
saloon-keeper have been summoned, and the
story they will relate will be something like
this:
Last Monday night about 1880 o'clock
Powers, Thomas Mcintosh and Murdoch
Mcdonald, who had been his shlpmates on
the barkentine Fremont. and William An
derson. of Natoma street. were in the
Dashing Wave saloon. Mcdonald stepped
out 10 the sidewalk while Powers and Nc
Intosh went to the bas and drank. After
several glasses of beer had been consumed,
Powers said "Well. Tom, I'll pay you for
this" and put his hand down in his pocket
for money.
Farley, who was partly under the in
fluence of liduor, rushed out from behind
the bar with bottle of beer in his hand
Powers ran for the door and Farley started
after him with the bottle appraised. Just
before the men reached the door Farley
brought the bottle down on Powers left
temple with terrific force.
The bottle was not broken, but the cork
came out and the beer ran down the saloon
keepers arm. Mrs. Farley, the assailants
wife, who had witnessed the affray. then
emerged from behind the counter with a
pistol under her apron. She passed the
weapon TO her husband and Powers and his
friends retreated. They went TO the South
Harbor police station. reported the assault
and returned 70 the saloon. They were met
by Farley, who f1ourished his revolver In
such a threatening manner that tho men
quickly retreated.
All this time Powers was bleeding pro-
fusey from the wound in his temple and
growing weak from the loss of blood. His
friend, Mcintosh. then took him TO the old
e{ta IF tho Receiving HoSpjtai at Washing
ton and Kearny streets. Finding that the
hospital had been removed 10 the new City
Hall, Mcintosh led Powers to tho Office of
DR.. X. L. Bunker, who temporarily dressed
the wound The next day Powers applied
for admission 10 the Marine Hospital. but
by reason of some red-tape arrangement in
the office in the Appraisers building he did
not reach the asylum for injured seamen
until Wednesday afternoon.

1T WILL OPEN TO-DAY.
The Rumors of Intentions to Stuff the
Precinct Registers.

Precinct registers.
Precinct registration begins this morning.
II is we'll known that the Third-street
gang have set their hearts upon running in
few of their friends on the register by this
means.
But thcy little anticipate the danger they
will run if they attempt 1t.
Rumor Is strong in asserting that the City
Hall registration has been falsifed by the
names Of hundreds of suffers, and that tho
latter have instructions to repeat" in the
precincts together with few hundred more

said. and expect to have 1t all their own

expected"

every complexion, are thoroughly awake to
the disreputa bic scheme.
Lists of suspected suffers have been
compiled, and woe betide any who attempt
to register again.
gang on Third street was alive with mes
sengers hurrying to and fro. Emissaries
were being sent throughout the different
precincts. and orders ana assurances of i'm
mnnity were much In demand.
The managers Of the Tocaloma Club have
arranged to have at least two guards" In
every precinct-three In some OF the tough
est.
The Nom Partisans will take precautions
against fraud and their self-constltuted
agents are increasing everywhere.
Nothing out Of the way" Is expected to
take place by the case-hardened parties, all
OF whom, however, were unusually active
yesterday.
Vigilance is the price OF liberty, and it
looks as II any attempt to stuff will, If de-
tected, prove REGULARLY disastrous to the
attempting suffer and his masters.
