benefit to one of San Francisco's promi-

all those who awaited them selves of the
opportunity to attend were treated to an
excellent exhibition of fsticuffs, inter

A MANAGES DEED.
lie Attempts to Batter Out His
BrairS


Brains.
Lewis Romini was taken to the Receiv-
ing Hospital about s O'Clock Yesterday
morning from Folsom and Seventh streets.
He had two slight scalp wounds, which
were dressed by DR.. Taylor. He appeared
to be insane; but as the padded cells were
all corrupted, he had to be put in an nrd-
nary cell. Nothing unusual happened till
about o'clock in the afternoon.
Steward Mogan was talking to caller
In the operating-room. when he heard yells
and muff1 d blows coming from the dirrc-
ton of Rominfs cell. He FASTENED to the
cell and Witnessed a sickening sight.
Rnmini was hutting his bandaged head
vlOlen ly against the sieampipes in the
cell, AZ every blow was followed bv an
unearthly yell. The blood was running
d wn his cheeks and neck, and the stew
ard thought he had battered his brains
out He yelled to DIR. Desne. and they
rushed in and seized hold of Romini. They
dragged him into the operating-room. and
on washing the blood off his head gaping
wound in his scalp was revealed, which
was quickly dressed and stitched. If it
had not been for the thick bands ge round
his scalp he would undOu btedly have frac-
tured his skull.
DIR. Deane demonstrated with him for
ntbCihOfluk W Nil UitDScII, Dub all me
reply he got out of him was: IL can kill
myself If l like" He is not violently
insane and submitted to having his scalp
dressed without murmur. He was
placed in a padded cell so that he could
not again attempt to batter out his brains.
He is an Italian, about 80 years of age,
and from his dress is evidently laburer.
lie would not say where he lived OF why
he wanted to XIII himself. He will be
taken before the Insanity Commissioners.
The hospital authorities are not to
blame in the matter. In November, when
DIR. Somers consented 10 receive insane
patients. it was upon the distinct under
standing that the accommodation at the
hospital would be enlarged, and he has
been constantly urging he Board of Super
visors to fulfill the promise then made 10
him, but so far without success
What the doctor desires is a separate
ward for insane female patients, which
would then afford all the accommodation
necessary. AT present there are only three
padded cells for male and female patients,
and hen they are all occupied any other
insane patient received at the hospita |
must be placed in an ordinary cell. as in
the case of R,mini.
Possibly ne narrow escape OF having a
case of suicide In the hospital may have
the effect OF Fastening the carrying out of
the alterations to provide the increased
accommoda ti0n.

at the order and risk of the Davie COM

fisrated.
The Marshal in charge of the missing
steamer is said 20 be relation Of Ride
outs. Whather he permitted the STEAMER
to be removed or had secret orders from
the prorer authorities to that effect is a
mystery.
According to the statement of tie cap
tain OF the S iva and the Ia purser of the
steamer r sale, the Alvira was living
alongside the Silva in the creek. When
those on board the Silva looked for the T
neigh Dor vessel the next morning she had
dis ppeared.
Inquiry was made Immediately and il
was learned that partie boarded the Al
vlra at the hour heretofore mentioned and
she was spirited away.
IbSre Is no sign OF the vessel on this
side OF the bav. and if she has been pulled
out OF the creek she must have been taken
no the San Joaquin River. or at least to
San Pablo Bay.
At a late hour 1t was ascertained in Oak
and that this action. so astonishing to the
DAVE people. was by the Alvira's owners.

from the United States Marshal. The
vessel was conveyed to Solano without so

creditors who are interested in anything
belonging TO the late ferrv company. The
steamer Is now out of the juii> diction of
Alameda County "fficials, and a number o +
interesting legal possibilities are likely to
develop.
Mr.. Bassett of tho Davie Com any was
seen by CALL reporter last night. He
SAID the removal of the vessel was Illegal :

place on Tuesday are in a Quandary as 10

plosi N and to whom they shall look for
payment for their loss, which they esti.
mate AT $4,000.
Tire insurance companies will not paw a
cent of the loss, because they say there
was no fire. The gas company denies re-
spOn>ibllity aud the owner OF the hu lding
refused to share any of the EXPENSE Of

1t looks as though the merchants will
have to stand all the loss. There were
