THAT KEARNY-STREET LINE.
Property-Owners Do Not Want the
Franchise Revoked.

The Market-street Railroad Company did not
succeed In getting up all the electric poles on
Kearny street before O'Clock yesterday morn
ing as II had expected to do. When the men
went TO work on Tuesday night it was said that
the intention was to have the poles all up be.
fore Mayor Ebert could finish his breakfast
and take steps to interfere; but the task was
too big one to be rushed through so quickly,
and IL had not been completed at nightfall The
work was pushed forward all day, and no re-
straining steps were taken so far as the rail-
road people knew.
Some anxiety was Occasioned by the state
menL that the Mayor had declared that he
would institute legal proceedings TO deprive
the company OF its franchise, on the ground
that il had failed TO operate the road for four
weeks after the completion of the laying of the
new track, thus violating one of the conditions
under which the privilege was granted.
A number OF kearny-streer business men
met during the day TO discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
OF appointing committee to wait upon the

road al all, but it was decided to first ascertain
whether Mayor Ebert really contemplated
moving in the matter. 1t was thought highly
improbable that lie would attempt to have the
franchise forfeited in the face OF the practically
unanimous petition Of the pl Operty- owners and
business men Tor an electric line.
Mayor Ebert could not be found at his Office

REFUSES TO TALK.
Riley's Examination Is
Postponed.
Inquest on the Body of the MUIR
dered Mrs. McCann to Be
Held To-Day.

Hugh Riley. charged with the murder of
Mary Mccain, with whom he was living In a
novel at Eighteenth street and Islais Creek,
was before Police Judge Conlan yesterday
morning for preliminary examination. 1t was
decided TO postpone the hearing however, until
the Coroner's jury has returned verdict as to
the manner of death of the woman. There be-
ing no objection from the defendant, lt was
continued for one week.
The body OF the dead woman was brought to
the Morgue early yesterday morning, and
the most casual examination showed the
brutal treatment 10 which she
had been subjected by some one. From
her feet 10 her head she was
a mass OF bruises, big blue black discolora-
lions and swellings, hiding the natural tint of
the cuticIe on the entire body She had one cut
on her forehead. as described at the time the
body was discovered, but the skull was not
fractured. Had the woman been put throug h
a thrashing machine she could hardly have
presented more horrible appearance.
In the absence of an autopsy, il would be
hard to say what caused the death OF Mrs. Nc
Cam, but the general opinion of the police is
that cerebral nemorrhage, following the blow
on the forehe ad, was the Immediate cause.
The prisoner under advice of his counsel,
Eugene L. Bert, refuses TO have anything fur
ther TO say about the case other than that he
does not know bow the woman came to her end.
The inquest will be held to-day.

EARNEST WATCHERS,
Interesting Services of the Believers
i'm the Second Advent.

Rev. DR.. A. q. Hrst OF Simpson Memorial
Church addressed the ST. Paul's mission, at ST.
Paups Church, Mission street, between Fifth
and Sixth. last night, repeating his sermon de-
livered some weeks ago before his own congre-
nation on the Second Advent OF Christ"
The st. Pauls mission is composed of Pro-
testants WHO believe in the second coming of
Christ in the literal sense, and every night in
the week, except Saturdays, meetings are held
IN the old church, and the reasons for the faith
that Is within them are expounded by The
cergymen. The congregations do not belong TO
The sect known as Second Adventists, but are
simply made up of persons who believe that the
prophecies OF the Old Testament are being full
filled as the age advances. and that the promise
of Chrisps second coming is to be taken as
meaning something.
DR.. Hirst'S sermon Is an eloquent argument
on This line Of thought He tax up the
prophecirs of Genesis, Isaiah and other books
OF the Old testament. diSsects them and shows
that they must be construed in a literal sense
and not in a symbolic or fgurative sense. Last
night his congre CATION was not large. owing to
the rain, but the discourse fell upon attentive
ears and made profound impression.
Rev. j. III. Allen, the evangelist, who has
charge OF the mission, also addressed the audi
ence. He announced that this evening he
would preach on the "Divine Life" and that
on Sunday at IL o'clock A. NJ a watchers
meeting would be held for the discussion of
the "sgns OF the times" indicating the near
approach OF the end OF the age"

Louis Steinbsrger sat In Judge Wal

morning. There were tears in his eyes
and his face bore every evidence that he
