The monument will stand about twenty
feet above the ground. and it Will cost about

The figure is of Carrara marble, and the
base of California granite.

FLAMES ON MARKET STREET.
The Electric Spark Breaks
Loose There.
Great Crowds Witness the Informal Exhibi.
tion-Csrs Delayed and the Fire Depart
ment Called Out.

The electric spark, which has held itself
In abeyance for years in this city, shook
itself together early last night and decided
to have good time.
1t started out on Market street early In
the evening in front of Peck's cIothing-store
and began to make lis presence manifest by
dancing in luminous balls along the wires.
Then it changed the programme and turned
the balls into flames that flashed and glowed
over the wires and descended TO the streets
by shinuiDg down the poles.
Awe stricken crowds gathered around
the poles and stayed there until the police
came along and dispersed them.
The electrical display had been caused by
the crossing of the wires Of the Electric
Light Company a. the corner of Market
and Third streets.
At 10 o'clock in the evening the wires
crossed again and the flames that burst out
ran quickly along the wires to the corner of
Fifth and Market streets.
A great crowd gathered under the flaming
wires. and the streetears were compelled to
halt.
A still alarm was rung in and the fire
engines responded. They could do nothing
to arrest the progress OF the flames. which
ran up and down the poles and played along
the arms.
There are three poles in front of the
Windsor Hotel. and the electric flames
danced up and down them until three fiery
crosses gloWed above the heads OF the spec
tatorS.
The wires were covered with O compound
for insulation purposes. which had worn
away. Where the wire touched the wooden
crossarm. 1t ignited the wood, aud the
whole upper part of the poles was soon
ablaZe.
The iremen. however, refused TO turn a
stream on the blazing pole. They feared
that the strong current running through the
wire would run along the stream of water
and shock that might seriously injure the
men at the nozzle might result.
A message WAS sent to the Electric Light
Works and the current was cut off half an
hour after the electrical display COM
menced.
The only damage done was to the poles
and wires of the electric romDauy

he Says the Stockholders Should Not
Blame SpreckeIs.
Secretary E. II. Sheldon, when seen ves-
terday afternoon by a reporter of THE
CALL, was lretle furried, because he had
already been the recipient of several angry
callers who were stockholders in the COM
pany and had heard Of the decline of their
securities.
They all seem to think that they have a
personal grievance against Mr. Spreckels. -
said the perturbed secretary. "Just be-
cause be is rich they think he ought TO put
up another million or so to save them from
losing anything. But they forget that no
matter how much money man has he can
not keep this kind of thing up forever, and
likewise he cannot control circumstances.
Mr. Sheldon dolefully admitted that he
expected lots of visitors of the same kind
10 follow those of yesterday. but he doubted
that the directors Of the company would
take any steps toward suspendiDg business.
"If they do they will lose more than by
paying in money and running the concern
with loss" he said.
As for the two other commercial concerns
Mr.. Spreckels Is personally connected with
in this city-ths Hutchinson Sugar Planta-
tion Company and Oceanic Steamship Com
paDy-Mr. Sheldon thought they would not
be affected by the losses reported yesterday
except that their stock will probably be
quoted low for some time.
