MORE NEW FLATS.
Twenty=six Modern Houses
to Be Built.
Contractor Hansbrough Has a Plan to
Erect Them for Speculative
Purposes.

A new building scheme is being worked
up in this city which speaks we'll for the
general prosperity oil the community, and
which illustrates very forciDly that San
Francisco is growing apaee with the other
great cities of the country.
For a long time it has been asserted that
there were too few homes here, and that
what was needed most was greater num-
Der of houses for the people. Lodging
houses. hotels and restaurants have been
crowded 20 over flowing for years. and
largely because there WAS dearth OF places
suitable for homes.
The solution of the problem is being
worked out by George w. Hansbrough, the
contractor, who is now al work upon plans
for the construction of twenty-siX model
flats. to be located on Nineteenth street, be-
tween Valencia and Guerrero. Thus far the
entire scheme Is in state of embryo, and
has not reached the Stage where the pro-
motors are willing TO give ont the details TO
The public. They claim, however, that they
can now see their way clear TO carrying out
their plans. and that stock company is be-
ing formed to furnish the necessary funds.
1t is understood that the fats are to be
erected as an experimentation speculative
purposes in Shorthand that when CON-
pleted they will be sold on easy payments or
rented, just as may seem most feasible. At
any rate the projectors think they will
have no difficulty IN getting good return
for their investment.
Thus far no specifications have been an
n0unced, but it is understood that the flats
10 be erected are to be of the most modern
type and will be different from any ever
seen on this coast They will be provided
be perfect IN all details for the comfort and
convenience of the occupants.

POPULISTS SCHEMING.
They VIII Be Sure to Deadlock the
LEGISLATURE.

The Senatorial fight is growing in interest,
and it looks as if the Populsts were going
10 mix things up in the most approved
fashion. That they hold the balance of
power there is no longer room to doubt. and
that they do not intend to allow the oppor-
tuniiy to pass is becoming more and more
apparent.
For two days the leading spirits of the
Popuiist movement have been holding quiet
conferences in this city, and while the Ut
most secrecy has been observed it is pretty
we'll understood that they have decided
upon plan of action 10 the matter of the
selection of a successor to Senator FELTON,.
Their first move, it is understood, will be
TO vote for Thomas V. Gator and thus
create a deadlock. Their aim in doing this
is TO endeavor to force the Democrats TO
Join with them and thus elect Mr.. Gator.
Failing in this. il is claimed, they will go
to ex-Judge johnson, who was formerly a
Republican,, and with whom they hope to
catch the votes of the members of that
party. At any rate, the Populists claim
that they are in a position TO dictate the
Senator and will hold out for that result if
Ii takes all summer.
There is a story floating about in political
circles to the effect that there Is fair
probability of deal being made between
the leaders OF the Peoples party and the
Republicans. The latter realizing, so it is
said, that they cannot elect one OF their
own party, will endeavor TO make a
deal whereby the Populsts will fuse with
them on nominee for Governor two years
hence. just how far the matter has gone
no one seems to know, but that such a
scheme Is in the wind there is no doubt.
How far 1t will go remains to be seen. of
course. but one thing is certain. and that is
that the Popuiists are seemingly very con-
hdent of ultimate success

A RAT IN A CURIOUS GUHsE.
Transformed by a SwindIing Dealers
Ingenuity Into Lap-Dog.

Lohuon Telegraph
writing from 81. Petersburg, our CORE
spondent says: A curious case comes up
for trial in Court of Second Instance next
week. the details of which are instructive.
Ihe plaintiff, lady. took strong fancy to
tiny lap-dog few months ago. which she
declared was the prettiest and funniest lit
Tie creature she had ever set her eyes upon.
Inc dealer, however. damped her enthusi-
asm by asking an eXorbitant price for the
animal, whose nimbleness and viyacity
were certainly marvellous. A day or two
later The lady called again, determined to
pay the extravagant price, but, like the
Roman King. when bidding for the books of
Sybil, her offer was refused, and the price
raised. One acted somewhat differently
from the pagan monarch, however, and paw

for Mrs. Whalen and "Blinker" he started

EVANS AND SONTAG.
The Bandits Seen i'm White Deer
Valley
Fresno Expositor, Dec. 8.

Fresno Expositor. Dec 8.
1t has been known for some time that the
detectives have been laying plans for the
capture of Evans and Sontag. The story
that they had escaped from the country
was not generally believed. and the officers
have been satisfied that the outlaws are
lying concealed in the mountains, and news
of startling nature has been expected
every day.
1t seems that there are persons In the
mountains whom the outlaws suppose to be
detectives, and they are on the lookout for
them as closely as the detectives are on the
lookout for the robbers.
Several days ago Evans and Sontag shot
az Ed Dooley in White Deer Valley. He
kept the matter secret, for fear he might
be killed, but preacher from LemOore
named Eedford has returned from the
mountains and gave an account of the
affair to the Lemoore Advance as follows:
Dooiey had been hunting for a lost horse.
and was walking the trail short distance
from his house when he heard a shot and
felt bullet whistle through his coat sleeve.
He whirled round and looked up above
where he stood aud saw Sontag and Evans
standing not over thirty yards from him.
They aceosted him in harsh manner. ask
ing him what he was doing there and
whether or not he was taking care OF the
detectives pack horses. DOoley made
haste TO assure the bandits that he had
nothing at all to do with the detectives.
He had in the meantime put a convenient
tree between the bandits and himself as he
was fearful lest the next time they shot
their aim would net be so bad. He said
Sontsg still carried his arm in sling from
the effect of the shot he received in the
fight with the posse at Young's cabin. Both
men had their feet bound up in gunny
sacks presumably to keep from making
tracks. The occurrence happened one day
last week and Dooley had not men toned 1t
10 a living soul excepting his wife, who
voucbed for its trnthfuIness. Dooley has
been afraid Of his shadow since the occur
renee. and MIR. Ledford brought his hunt
ing tour TO an abrupt close and mace haste
TO get out of that neighbour God. as he con-
sidered il 10 be very unhealthy.

INSURANCE PRECAUTIONS. 5
Prompt and Comprehensive Action
Where a Firebup Is Susrected

Where a Firebug Is Suspected.
Some weeks since a merchant occupying
a store on Broadway not far from the
Metropolitan Hotel applied to a big fire
insurance company to have his policy re-
newed. The next day an agent Of the COM
pany called and said:
Il am very sorry, but we can't insure
you again.
"Why not?" asked the merchant In
establishment.
Because we have discovered that a new
tenant In this building is on the black list
He has been burned out numb of times
and has had a fire in every place he has
been In during the past ten years We can't
take any risk on any part of this building or
any of the neighbors."
Good heavensr' said the merchant
hat am going 10 do?"
II give it up," said the agent; "but nv
ADVICE ID you is to try to get him out.
don't see what else you can do, unless you
move ont yourself"
The merchant went around among his
neighbors and found many others who were
mighty Indignant because the Insurance
companies had notified them that thew
would have TO increase the rates and would
De unable TO renew their policies after thew
ran out. Even buildings at the other end of
tne oioek were included in the notices.
Inc merchants got together after that and
obnoxious tenant and by vigorous Language
10 the latter they induced him TO move for a
consideration.
The merchants learned for the first time
then that the ire insurance companies keep
a sharp watch on suspicious persons and
follow their movements wherever thew 20.
so that they will be able to know whenever
snch condition occurs az the foregoing one
recited.
some time ago some merchants on another
Dlock was similarly excited byAearning that
their rates of insurance had been greatly
increased through the moving into the block

extra hazardous nature. Another case was
tilat OF manufacturer of fancy goods who
Introduced the manufacture of wooden
boxes into his establishment. This required
MS Keeping on the premises infiammabie
materials. such as wood, yarnishes, CLUES
