TEACHERS CERTIFICATES.
An Attempt to Retain First Grades and
Their Salaries.

An Attempt to Retain First Grades and
Their Salaries.
Some time ago the Board of Education
passed a resolution raising the grade of GER
tain teachers certificates from second to
first, which Of course had the effect OF rails
ing their salaries slightly. Afterward, the
resolution was rescnded, which it is sup
posed had the effect of dropping those GER
tiGcates back to their original status and
likewise the salaries.
Still later the conclusion has been reached
in the School Department that the sole
authority 10 issue and alter certificates rests
with the Board of Examination, not the
Board Of Education. The teachers affected
by The changes mentioned employed Arthur
Rogers to represent them in an effort to
maintain the standard given by the first
resolution, and for that purpose he filed a
communication with the Board Of EXamina-
ton yesterday.
The board considered The matter at length,
and finally agreed that the Board OF Educa-
ton having assumed authority over the
cases originally, it now belonged TO that
body to right any wrong that may have re-
suited.
Mi Rogers communication came up be-
fore the Board Of Education last night and
was referred to the Committee on Classif-
cation.
The board granted frst-grade certificates
to Dora FitZmaurice, Miss NJ. L. Hayburn
and Susie NJ. Jewett.
Renewals were granted as follows: First
grade to Alice X. Long, second grade to
Hattie Halves, grammar grade to Mary
Neylan,

LAWLESS DOCTORS.
They Ignore Their Duty by Refusing to
Record Births.

They Ignore Their Duty by Refusing to
Record Births.
DR.. Keeney. Health Officer, is after the
medical and midwife fraternity with hot
tOngs. He and his predece ssors have been
trying for years to light upon some force
measure to compel physicians and mid
wives to register all births of which they
have professional knowledge. Several very
stringent ordinances with that end in view
have been enacted by the Board Of Super
vis0rS, but for some unaccOuntable reason
they do not accomplish the desired end.
The most apparent evidence of this are
the Health Office records. They show that
in January there were 40 births in San
Francisco. This is manifestly absurd, de-
elareS DR.. KeeDey. There must have been
at least 600. The birth record, as now
maintained, is a farce, utterly worthless for
enY purpose. except to show the lawless-
ness of physicians. 1t makes the city APP
pear ridiculous, as compared with the
death-rate.
DR.. Koeney has decided upon more viGor-
Gus measures, and yesterday issued to all
the physicians and midwives in the city
circulars on which were printed the laws in
relation to recording births and added at
the bottom, These laws will be strictly
enforced"

ALMOST COMPLETED.
The Electric Road VIII Start in
Thirty Days.
Everything in Readiness but the DynamOs.
The Power-House Complete and the
Engines in Place.

The new electric railroad which is to con-
meet the counties of San Francisco and San
Mateo, it is announced, will be ready with
in a short time for active operation. and it is
given out by those in a position to know
that the next thirty days will see ears run
ming as far as the Holy Cross Cemetery.
at the present time the greater portion of
the work necessary for the beginning of
active operations has been completed, and
nothing now remains, it is said, but to COM
plete the task OF putting the dynamOs in
position at the pOwer-hOuSe. The track TO
the first terminus has all been completed
and the wires have been stretched. The
first however, is not yet in working order,
as the macadam with which ii was covered
during the process Of construction has not
YET been removed, but that is of small in-
pOTtance as the labor involved Will be OF
but short duration and Of trlhlng expense.
NEW CARS READY.
The rolling stock is ali complete Twenty
new cars are now ready for active service. and
can be used at any time. Beyond this the
poweT-hOuse is also finished and the great
boilers and engines that will furnish the
power for the road when it Is In readiness
are flashed.
From this it will be seen that little work
remains to be done, and Behrend JoOSt Is
authority for the statement that trial OF
the system will probably be made within
the next three weeks He is confident that
cars will be running, at the latest, by The
1St of April
In conversation yesterday Mr.. JOOst said;
The only delay now is on account OF the
dynamOs. wh:ch are being placed in posi-
ton. All the other work has been done, or
nearly so, and we are rushing things as
rapidly. as possible. We are also at work
upon the Eghteenth-stree branch, which is
a most important line, and we hope to have
it completed TO the park within six or
eight months. When done, IL will be q
Park, and we realize that 1t will be of such
Importance that it would be unwlse for us
TO delay H.
ACROSS EIGHTEENTH STREET.
I'VE shall continue it directly across
Eighteenth street, mounting the grades as
far as possible, but 1t will be necessary for
rs to bore tunnel through one Of the hills.
This, Of course, will cost considerable
money, and Will take some time 10 COM
pIete; but we intend to get il through as
IDLY as possible.
"Fhus far we have made no estimates of
the amount Of business which the road
should do, but we are of the opinion that
we will build up patronage that Will at
least make the road self-supporting at the
start. Raining, as ii Will, directly along
Eighteenth street, which is growing TO be
thOroughfaTe Of Importance, it will tap one
Of the best portions of the city, and will
furnish quick and ready means Of trans
porlaton to people who have been cut off
for long time.
$50 far as the main line is concerned that
Is practically done with, and we will from
now on devote most Of our attention to the
completion Of the branch, which we regard
as OF equal II not greater Importance"

A MISSING YA0UERO.
Food for Surmise Furnished by Rider
less Horse.


less Horse.
Shortly before o'clock on Tuesday night
a riderless horse ran along Kentucky street
and stopped in front of a saloon. It's subse-
quent death and the failure to find its rider
seem to indicate that the latter had also
met with death.
The animal presented pitiful appearance
when those inside the saloon drove il away
from the door. 1t was covered with mud
and seemed to be suffering intense pain. A
second glance Of the men showed them that
the horse was rapidly bleeding TO death
from horrible CASH in the abdomen.
The instinct of the poor animal had
prompted it to try and enter the saloon for
relief, if any could be afforded by man. Its
every expression and move betOkened de-
sire TO have the flow Of blood stanched, but
the men drove the animal away. 1t partly
crossed the street, bnt becoming weak from
exhaustion fell down in the mud and in a
short time was dead.
All day yesterday the carcass OF the horse
lay in the center Of the street. An officer
removed the saddle and bridle and took
thcm to the POtrerO Station for safe-keep-
ing. The officers then set out to find the
owner OF the animal. Sergeant Bennett
hoped TO find one among the numerous
vaqueros around ButchertOwn, but his in
quiries among them did not reveal any.
Yesterday afternoon a CALL reporter
started on a tour Of inquiry, and ascer-
tanned few facts which 20 far to show
that the rider of the unfortunate animal
also lost his life.
John Murphy. an employe in the rope
works at the P0trero, says that about 1880
o'clock on Tuesday evening he noticed q
young vaquerO driving an excited steer
along Kentucky street toward Butchertown.
He watched the vaquerO until be turned
from the road to the bridge running parallel
to Kentucky street The steer was plung-
ing wildly, and the yaquerO was having a
hard time turning IL to the bridge The
cash the unfortunate horse received proved
beyond a doubt that it had been done by
the sharp horn Of a steer, and the police Of
the P0trero are inclined to the belief that
the horse was hooked and forced overheard
with the rider
At number of places on the bridge there
is no rail to prevent such an occurrence. and
at high tide there is enough water at any
place along the bridge to drown anything.
The horse when it appeared at the saloon
WAS dripping wet. besides being covered
with black mud, which makes many believe
that the rider was drowned, while 1t man

FRAUD PRESUMED.
The Mechanics Institute Election
Not Satisfactory.
An Immediate Recount Demanded by the
Hallidie People, Who Charge the
Other Side With Unfairness.

There was a sensation at the Mechanics
Institute about o'clock on Wednesday
morning. which but for the "witching time
Of night" and the exhausted condition OF
the promoters, might have developed into
a contest Of physical strength. As 1t was
the people were too tired to fight, and 50
hostilities were postponed until the after
noon. 1t was all about the election, the re-
suit Of which it would be difficult to write
definitely even at this time, for both sides
are putting forward numerous claims of
fraud and at the same time keeping an eye
on the little brown box which contains the
precious ballots.
At1:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning
tile Judges concluded tile tedious task of
coun ting the heaviest vote ever pOlled by
the institute members, and straightway an
