RYAN. OR RITzGERAID2

A Man Who Doesn't Know His Own
Name, or Else is Crooked.
Yesterday a man who said his name
was John Ryan applied to be registered
as voter.
Len Kidder, one of the clerks in the
otilee, took Ryan's description and wrote
II down on one of the blank affidavits.
de then requested Ryan to sign it, but
the latter instead of writing the name he
gave the clerk, signed that of James Fitz-
gerald.
kidder Immediately suspected that
something was wrong, and asked the
man why he signed himself Fitzgerald
when he said his name was Ryan.
The latter quickly saw his blunder, and
asked that the blank be returned to him
SO that he might change the name.
rms hldder refused to do, and he also
refused to enter the name on the register.
CLERK kldder says the man tailed to
the description of one John Ryan, as it
is IN the last register, and is inclined to
mink that he wanted to go to the extent
OF committing perjury so that he might
vote twice at the coming election.

THE STATE TREANURER'S REPORT.
He Thinks the Appropriations are Too
Great.
Recommends that Irrigation Bonds be
Added as an Investment for the
School Fund.

State Treasurer Mcdonald has prepared
his biennial report to the Governor.
He states in it that the State bonds of
1873 have been redeemed in accordance
with the legislative Act of February q,
1898, with the exception of those held by
the State school fund and the State Uni
versity.
he says that it is unfortunate that the
law providing for the issuance and sale of
State bonds to create fund for the con-
struction and finishing of general ferry
and passenger depot in San Francisco re-
quires the depot sinking fund to be in
vested in United States bonds only.
"Bonds of the United States" says the
report, "are comparatively difficult to OBJ
tain and command a high premium.
They become due in 1907. five years be-
fore the depot bonds mature, and an in
vestnent in them will pay very low
rate of interest,""
lie recommends that the Act be changed
by the next Legislature so as to include
State and county bonds in the list of in
vestments for this fund, provided that
such change is constitutional.
de calls attention to the frequent eX-
This fund was depleted on June 10, 1893,
and payments were not resumed until
January. 1894. 1t again became exhausted
for the second time that year on April 8,
1884, payment being resumed on April
18th OF the same year. 1t is estimated
that the fund will again become ex hausted
on or about September 10Th of this year,
and Will remain so until the following
January"
The existence OF such a state of affairs.
he says, makes it evident that the de-
mands upon the general fund are too
great, and he suggests as remedy that
appropriations should either be cut down
or the tax levy raised to meet the require
mentS.
The report also recommends that irri-
cation bonds be added to the list of securi-
ties IN which the school fund may be in
vested, and asserts that feasible plan to
loan out the surplus money in the State
Treasury would result in great practical
financial benefit to the State.

FIRE IN WASHINGTON.
Property Saved by tine Sacramento
firemen.
Two Buildings Destroyed-An Engine
Run Down Into the Bed
of the River.

A destructive fire occurred j . Washing
ton, across the river, yesterday afternoon,
in which the large two story wooden
hotel occupied by /. n. Gill and owned
by T. E. Weed, and an adjoining cottage,
the property of widow named Mrs.
Jane Brooks, were entirely destroyed.
Shortly before the fire was discovered,
Mr.. Gill, who was sitting in front of the
hotel, was told by a Chinaman employed
in the place that one Of the rooms up
stairs was on fire. Mr.. Gill rushed into
the building, but the fire had obtained
such headway that ne was unable to
stop its progress. Within few min
utes the entire structure was ablaZe and
the heat so intense that it was impos-
sible tor anyone to 90 near the turning
building, and in the course o. an half
hour the hotel and adjoining cottage were
smoldering mass OF ruins.
During the few minutes before the fire
burst forth in its fury the furniture OF the
hotel and cottage was carried out into the
street and deposited there. Part Of it
caught fire from The heat, and as there
was no water available with which to put
the tire out the furniture was also con-
sumed.
Washington has no fire department,
and nothing could be done but to let the
buildings burn and hope that the lire
would not spread.
When it was ascertained that the fire
was likely TO communicate 10 the other
house in the vicinity a telephone message
was sent TO the department in this city,
and No. / engine and hose-cart quickly
responded. When the engine arrived on
the other side of the river it was found
necessary, on account of the absence of
fire plugs, to draw water from the river,
which was done by hauling the engine
through the deep sand to the river bank.
In short time good stream was OBJ
tanned and the burning embers were eX-
tlnguiShed.
If the fire department had been in
formed at the outbreak OF the fire, the
loss would not have been so heavy, as a
good stream could in a short time have
been directed on the burning hotel and
surroundings.
The origin of the fire is not known, but
is supposed TO have started in bedroom
IN the second story of the hotel. 1t is not
known whether MIR. Weed has any in
surance on his hotel, but Mr.. Gill has an
insurance OF $1,000 on the furniture and
stock OF groceries which were in the
hotel.
A rumor was current during the pro-
gress of the fire that young man had
been locked in closet and burned up
with the building. 1t was afterward ascer-
tanned that such was not the case, al
though he had narrow escape.
he was in a closet doing something.
when, during the excitement, someone
closed the door and he was locked in, In
order to eXtricate himself he had to bear
all his weight on the door TO break it
open, which he eventually did, and
rushed out of the blazing hotel

NELLIE CLARK'S CASE.

Continued Till To-day, as Her Attor-
ney Was Absent.
When the case Of Nellie Clark, charged
with having robbed Gustave Braman
out of $1,000 in the Palace short time
ago, was called in the Police Court yester-
day afternoon, a continuance was granted
the defense until this morning on ac-
count of the absence of the woman's at
torney, Charles L. Jones, who was en-
gagged in a murder trial in Nevada City.
n number of witnesses were in attend
ance from San Francisco who were Sc
cured by i. j. Simmons in the interests
of The defense. They will testify to
numerous accusations against Braman,
and an attempt will be made to show that
this is not the first time he has been in
vOlved in similar affair."
a Mrs. Roye of San Francisco was in
attendance and will testify against
Braman's character. She says that be-
tween the last partial examination and
yesterday Braman went to San Francisco
and procured a search warrant to have
her house ransacked, on the charge that
she had stolen ring from him. She
says Braman had her arrested, and on
yesterday the case was called in Judge
ConIan's court, and the Judge after hear
ing some of the testimony, ordered Mrs
ROye's discharge.
Braman claimed that he stopped at
Mrs. Roye's clearinghouse, and that she
entered mis- room and stole the ring.
Mrs. Roye claims that Braman en-
deavored to make love to her, and gave
the ring to her. This, it is claimed, was
two years ago,
Braman also had number of wit
nesses present, and when the case comes
up this morning they will testify TO his
good character and reputation.
When JusticeD Devine said he would grant
the continuance until this morning, some
of the witnesses objected to being com
pelled to remain here for another day,
but the court said he could not excuse
them.

Several Witnesses Saw Mrs. Dawson
Cut Her Own Throat.
Edward Dawson was released from
custody yesterday on the charge of at
tempting to murder his wife. She had
charged him with attempting to shoot
her and with cutting her throat.
The RECoRD-UNIoN published the
statement of his wife at the time of his
arrest, but it is evident that an Injustice
has been done MIN by the publication, as
there are four eye-witnesses who state
that he did not touch her, but that she
came out of the house and, after making
remark about his going to San Fran
cisco, knelt down and slashed her own
throat three times with the razor and
that Dawson took her into the house and
sent for physician. They had only been
married about eight months. His inno-
cence was so evident in the light of these
facts that the charge was never brought
into court and he was allowed to go.

Insurance Clerk j. Kerns Gets a
Cinch on His Employer.
Another young man has gone wrong,
after vainly endeavoring to be a "blood"
on a small salary. His name is J. Kerns,
and for year or so has been a clerk and
collector for i. Scheppleman, an insur-
ance and real estate agent at III street.
The latter has been away from the city
great deal of late, and on returning last
Monday he found his office in neglected
condition. But that wasn't the worst of
it-he could not find his clerk, and hasn't
found him yet, although the young man
was in the city as late as Tuesday even
ing, when he sent word to his landlady
that he would not be home that night, If
he has fled the city he did so without
taking more than the clothing he had on,
as his room has not been disturbed.
Scheppleman claims to have already
discovered that Kerns is some $500 short
in his accounts. with several precincts
yet to be heard from.
1t is said the young man has been try
ing TO ''hold up his end" with a class of
companions who could afford to spend
more money than his salary amounted to.
