WEST OAKLAND. July 1S.-Engineer
George Jefferis, a couple of the real young
members of the A. E. U. and four or five
deputy sberiffs of Alameda county came
nearly mixing up in a row on the steamer
Piedmont which left San Francisco at
midnight for the mole. Jefferis guarded
by several deputies two of whom
were excited left the mole for San
Francisco about o'clock. On the
same boat and with them were the young
strikers, none o. them y yet. AS the boat
was unloading the young men ranged
themselves near Jsfferis. and pointing him
out to the crowd cried: Look, ladies and
gentlemen, there's scab." The
deputies gathered around Jetferis, and
after airing their views for some time
the young man went uptown. They
boarded the Piedmont for the return trip
at midnight and found Jefferis and the
deputies on the lower deck. In moment
or two after a consultation between the
engineer and his guards one
OF the latter approached the
strikers and said he wanted to search them
for guns. He was bluntly told that be
had no right to do anything of the kind,
and Informed that if he tried to he would
be chucke0 into the bay. He retired at
this, and Jeffers approached one OF the
men and said, extending his hand: How
are you, Jack"

treated, and, however it occurred, there
was a general movement in his direction
He jumped down the stairway in the en-
gineers' room, grabbed a monkey wrench
and was prepared to defend himself when
the deputies surrounded him.

HOSPITAL EXPENSES.
The Appropriation Not Sufficient to
Meet Them.

Meet Them.
At the meeting OF the Board OF Health
Yesterday the matter of retrenching on
expenses at the City and County Hospital
came up through question asked Super
intendent Titus as to what ne had done In
that respect.
DR.. Titus said that the most feasible
plan he had discovered for cutting down
expenses was to reduce the number of
patients. This he had done by getting rid of
about 100. This method, he thought, was
a far better one than by cutting down tAe
help or reducing salaries. He further
added that the city was too mean in the
matter of allowance, and that 90 cents per
day for each patient was entirely too small.
DR.. NAYS also cOrcuIred that IL was diff
ficult, if not abs nlutely impossible. 10 look
after the sick of sucn a large city as this
under an appropriation of $4,000.
DR.. Long thought it shameful that the
Supervisors had reduced the aprropria-
ton for the sick poor. and believed the at
tention of voters should be called to it at
this election, so that they might take such
action as would put in office men who
would make more liberal allowances.
An application that was made by Chief
Engineer Sullivan of the Fire Department
for better fire facilities at the Almshouse
was referred to the Hospital Committee of
the Board of Supervisors.
In mis- annual report City Physician
Brown called atteD ton to the poor SAM
Iary condition of the County Jail, and
recommended the establishment of an
ambulance service in connection with the
r. ceving Hosrita.
Police Surgeon Somers asked that the
board have additional padded cells con-
structed in tho Receiving Hospital for the
accomm Odation of insane patients.

Some Testimony IN Il wisconsin Roster
Cases.
MADISON, VS., March Ia. - The
gigantic nature Of the roster job given
BY the governor to the defunct Times
WAS illustrated when one or the plaintiffs.
George Dow, testified that the plaintiffs
agreed to give the governors private
secretary $4,000 bonus for the roster
contract for $4,000 volumes, and that
then the plaintiffs would make a
good thing on it. The court shut
ont all testimony relative TO the cost of
an edition OF the rosters printed several
years ago. Clark always claimed, when
i~nveigling the plaintiffs into this invest
ment, that the state paid an excessive
price for that edition. and that under
the Peck contract the state was
to save . great amount Of money
and the plaintiffs so believed. But
the defense objected to any evidence on
that point, and the Judge ruled in their
favor. The object Of the defense is to
show that the plaintiffs took q hand in
the job with eyes open, and il any con-
spiracy existed they, too, were in it.

Plaintiff Rob Dow testified in the roe
ter case, corroborating the evidence
given by McFail and George Dow in all
important matters In the negotiations
for the secret contract, securing the
legal opinions OF Defendants Bashfotd
and OConnor, etc. He testified that
when he called on Governor Peck and
told him that CLARK had repaid $1,000 OF
10000 paid on contract the governor
expressed qualification, followed the
witness to the door and said he wa very
anxious to have the matter settled and
got the papers In the deal back.
