What the Board of Health
Ask For.

George W. Tyler Jr.. the man who
gained so much notoriety two weeks ago
By coming home drunk and brutally as
saulting his wife and neighb0rs, made
history repeat itself last night.
Tyler is out on $1,000 bonds. given by r.
P. Lewis and W. T. Mccarthy of San
Francisco. but when reports of his last
debauch have reached them it is likely that
they will surrender him to the authorities.
Tyler had been employed as motOrman
on the GrOve-street road, and. when ne
was discharged by the Oakland Consoil-
dated Company, went to the company's
office and withdrew the S25 deposit that
employees are required to make.
This he did on Saturday last and as sooa
as he was in possession of the money
started out to get drunk on it.
This was no difficult task, for the saloons
patronized by young Tyler sell brand OF
VIGOROUSLY bad whisky. and so it was only
a matter Of an hour or so before the fumes
had taken possession of Tyler's brains
and transposed him into veritaDle demon.
He bought revolver before all OF the
NJ Oney was spent, and when his drunk had
become sufficiently we'll developed ne got
on car and started for upper Grove street,
breathing out threats against deputy
Sheriff Williams and score OF others
whom he believed to have been lnstru-
mental in accomplishing his late arrest.
First he went home. Disregardlng all
thought of the generous wife who mad re-
Gently tried to shield him from the law. he
fi0urished his revolver In her lace and
drove her out of the house.
Then he hunted up the two boarders and
sent them scurrying off at the muZzle OF
the pistol, shouting after them that De
would shoot any one who came to arrest
him.
Tyler was now in full and undiSputed
possession of the house and held the fort
against all corners until morning. The
boarders were too frightened to return
alter their belongings, and Tyler was al
lowed to have things his way so long as
the whisky mastered him..
When drivenlfrom the house Mrs. Tyler
was in despair. She said she would no
longer defend her husband, and expressed
an intention of having warrant issued at
once for his arrest. At late hour no such
arrest had been made, and Tyler was still
at large last night.
Died in a Fit.
Mrs. Matilda Ranney, aged Sc years, died
suddenly at Fairview Tract. near Pied
mont, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Ranney
has been aft cted with epllepiic hts for
years. and it was in an unusually severe one
that she died of. Coroner Evers held an
inquest over the body and found her death
to have been caused as above stated. Her
husband, who is in Placervile, was notified
of the death.
The Davie Ferry.
The Davie ferry-boat Rosalie was damned
with people yesterday on every trip and
very many were turned away. There was
no room for them.
The company felt the need of an adj
ditional boat, ana next Sunday will have
not only their two regular boats but a
third on the line for Sunday traffic. Their
tickets gave out early in the day yesterday
and they sent man to the printer for
more.
A 1icket-office has been erected at the
Franklin-street wharf and sign put out
reading: ''Single tickets cents. five
tickets % cents, ten tickets 30 cents
and twenty tickets ST." There is no
reduction in purchasing quantity.

.hypnotst, will come up this morning at
$50 o'clock in the Superior Court. Mrs.

In dismissing the proceedings on insan-
ity in the case of DR.. j. S. Leffingwell.
Judge Greene said: well. gentlemen. l
do not know about the events of yester-
tors mind it has evidently cleared up.
You are discharged. doctor; but we have
decided to put the cost of the examination
on you on the ground that you have been
meddling with other peoples business"
Judge Greene had previously asked DR..
on theology and the Bible. which the
doctor answered most ucidly. They
showed, too, Judge Greene's great knowl-
edge of the subject
scuttling a Ship.
The steam-schooner Norma Is lying at
Alameda Point leaking like sieve with
her bottom full Of auger-holes. She has
six feet of water in her hold. 1t is thought
that during Friday night somebody rowed
up alongside ana pierced the hull while
the watchman was asleep. II was not till
she began to settle did the Waterman
know that something was wrong. He got
help as soon as possible and put the
pumps IN action. 1t is thought the water
will be got out in day or so. when she
will be taken TO the shipyard for repairs.
The Norma carries a non-union crew,
and the owners think this has something
to do with the scu,tling.

ceedings before the License COMMITTEES of
the City Council at its last meeting.

He said his little girl had bought beer
there for his wife and that he had seen
other children go there.

Henry had been made a drunkard by the
saloon and that it was a very noisy place,
and that women and children got liquor
