Because He Wanted to Buy the New
CITY Hall.

William c. Irish has lived quietly at 772
Mission street for the past three, months.
He made his living by selling religious
books. He was of nervous temperament.
but seemingly was perfectly sound in
mind.
Yesterday morning he began instituting
inquiries as 10 the figure Huntington
would require for his interest in the
Southern Pacific. He also wanted to buy
a monopoly.
For these purchases he was ready to
give his check for any amount required.
All m0rring he paraded up and down
Mission street, hatless andScoatless. Each
person he met he would ask to perform
some errand. Offering to pay them as a
slight remuneration sums varying from
5000 to S10,oOO.00 Then he went into
the house and became noisy.
He wanted to give SS.0e0.003 for the
Mills building and assured HE landlord he
had the refusal If the Crocker building.
This was not so alarming. But when he
offered S17, ,000.000 for the new City Hall
he was adjudgrd insane by those around
him. ard the police were sent for.
irish was taken 10 the Home for the
Care of Inebr;ates by Officers Ryan and
Mccarthy last night at 10 o'clock.
He protested against riding in the patrol
wagon as he had one billion eight hundred
million dollars and could afford hack.
On the way to the asylum hr offered to
buy McCarthy's gold watch. Th- officer.
To humor him, handed it over, and lrisn
wrencned off une side of the case, throwing
1t to the floor of tho wagon.

"They object to your walking round

'Oh. Pm going out. I don't care what
they object" and the Judge went out by
he main door just as Chief Crowley slip
ped out OF the private door to dispatch his
messenger.
Someseemingly frivolous questions were
put to the witness as to whether or not
she had writer her letter in French, what
box She had put It in and how many and
how large postage stamps she had put
on it.
Did YOU hear the girls on the street
calling Lena stool pigeon for having
testified here?" asked Chnynski.

NO, not |"
Attorney Dunno offered in evidence 4
sworn affidavit of john O'Hanlon. but this
was vigorously opposed by the other side
as they claimed he ought 10 be produced
| Tor purposes of cToSs-examination. Thi:
was also the ruling uf the Commissioner:
alter spirited argument BY counsel.
An affidavit of George Friedrich was

to have been In court on Monday night

November I, 1852, just before the
election. The weekly capacity on June
1, however, was 171,Oe9 gross tons, as
against 171,OS9 November 1, 1892. It
will thus be seen that the capacity Of
the furnaces in blast increased for seven
months after the election, in spite Of
the well-fouuded hope Of tariff reform.
Thus it Will be seen that the financial
barometer began to go down as the fear
produced by the Sherman act became
acute. Tariff reform had nothing to do
with 1t. 1t was the Sherman act that
produced the panic.
