and considerable excitement was caused by
wild blast, in which two people narrowly
escaped being seriously injured and house
was partly wrecked few days ago.
Frequent complaints have been received
By Police Sergeant Bennett Of the Potrero
station about the careless manner in which
blasting IS being done by men grading Ken
lucky street. The contractors are the City
Improvement Company, who have Mr.
Smith In charge OF the work as foreman.
Part oil rocky ledge CT limestone, VARYING
IN height from 80 TO 100 feet, has already
been moved away. Blasting was, of course
resorted TO. but the unusually large charges
put in have frequently caused people living
In the vicinity to protest loudly against the
dangerous practice.
Last Saturday they attempted TO remove
a larger quantity Of the rock than usual by
putting In more powder than was consd-
cred safe. Logs OF wood chained together
with heavy chains. the links of which were
l12 inches In thickness, were put over the
charge TO prevent danger from flying debris,
but proved wholly Intellectual. When the
blast was fired the chain was broken to
fragments, two OF the links flying over the
blutf and through window in the residence

block away.
August Schultz, son Of the captain. who
was recently severely injured at tie Union
iron Works. was asleep in his bed when the
flying mass Of iron sjruck the wall a
few feet distant from where he was living
a piece of rock weighing six or seven pounds
followed the chain links on their aerial
fight and struck another par; of the house.
The Schultz family consider they had a mar
row eseape from serious injury. possibly
death. and Immediately reported the matter
TO the police, who notified the reckless
blasters TO use more caution and less heavy
charges in future.
An amusing part OF the story ia that
when the powder works at Highland blew

felt at the Potrero, and Sergeant Bennett
supposed that the graders were the cause Of

between CrOssman's Mrs. Lowering and

the Russian Baroness, Miss Rehan under

native speech that it asserted itself every
little while In spite of all Miss Rehan's
efforts TO the contrary. We advise the lady
to abstain from this kind of thing in future.
She is not happy in such broken text, al
though her acting as the Baroness was
splendid. The support by Messrs Georg g
