of 20 per cent. aud the officials Of the water
conn anies were cited to appear before the
Supervisors on Monday last.
The citations were treated with con-
tempt, however, for neither company sent
a representative. The Supervisors then
made an order to the effect that II the
companies do not show good and sufficient
cause at to-day's meeting why a reduction

cent will be made without further ado.

the matter was passed until to-day, when
the arrogant corporation may be COM
PEELED TO repair the road.
A Hall for United WorkmeD.
The five lodges OF the Ancient Order of
United WoTkmen located in this city, and
numbering in all ZOO men, have decided 10
build handsome hall of their own. The
plans for the building have not yet been
drawn up, blu. the site will be on good
sized lot, nifty feet north of the p0stoffice,
for which $4,000 will have to be paid.
The lodges have already subscribed over
$1,000, and the balance will be raised by
subscriptions to stock, bonds being issued
at SO share, interest at per cent. and
payable in twenty years. Such building
as is contemplated will yield, it is esti-
mated, an income of $500 wear, which
will leave net profit of S1100 to be used
in paying off the mortgage.
To Pay OF the Strikers.
The Southern Pacific paycar will prob
ably be stationed in the railroad yards on
Tuesday next. and in consequence there is
much Joy in West Oakla d. The strikers
will probably be paid in full and their
names forever wiped off the payroll.
The restaurant which was established
by the company in the yards during the
military occupation, when 1t was danger
Gus for the men who had taken the places
of the strikers to go uptown for meals, Is

touch his heart, but it haG-Ro effect upon
him. She was advised to have him arrested
for failure to provide. This was done
and nights reflection in the City Prison
had the effect of making him change his
mind.
They took rooms at 1901 Larkin street
but Michael had evidently no intention Of
remaining long in the bosom of his family.
His wife learned that he had, by repre-
sening himself as an unmarried man
tried unsuccessfully to get young girl
employed at the Irish exhibit to clone

not add 10 her happiness, aud when She
taxed him with it he. of course, denied il

six weeks, accomp lishing, Professor Moses
says, as much work in the special depart

TO have a club for the discussion of topics
Of the day. The club was organized with
some forty mem bers. The WOman's Equa!
Rights Club has expressed a desire TO Join
the club, considering refusal of admis-
sion to be inconsistent with the advanced
thinking of political science club. 1t is
not likely that the club will accede to the
request. however. for, as one of the men,
beTs expressed it. the club would be either
a woman's or mans club in the end, and
if the ladies were once admitted they
would sooD be left to enjoy the club as a
monopoly, 'as business men have an IN

discussing political or economic matters

A CHILD WONDER.
Costa Doomcheff's Final Concert
Given I" by REQUEST"


Tomorrow evening at Odd Fellows Hall
Costa Doomcheff will play for the last
time in this city for many months. 1t Is
conceded by all our leading musicians that
no greater genius has ever appeared in
San Francisco. This statement may ap-
pear to be extraordinary, but it is borne
out by facts. He has been compared
fayorably with leading stars, and is known
in Russia as SHE little PagaDini." His
tone Is extraordinary. and he produces
effects upon his instrument such as moth
ing but the fire of genius could inspire
him to produce.
The feature of tomorrow evenings re-
cltal will be the celebrated "Fantaisie de
POpera Noise" on the G string. by Paga-
mini. The rest of the programme will en-
brace some numbers new to San Fran
cisco. The works to be performed are by
such composers as Vieuxtsmps, Wieni-
awsky. Beriot and Hauser.
Young DOomchef has played since he
was six years of age in Russia. and was
signally bonored by the Car and CZarina
with geld watch, on which was
enameled the Russian Imperial Eagle.
His parents have chosen 10 present him
first TO American audiences in San Fran
cisco, and it ia hoped thai the audience of
tomorrow evening viii be larger than
those at the last two concerts.

when she found that he had drawn the
money from the bank. she knew that she
vas again deserted wife.
Yesterday she and her child called
at police headquarters and reported his
disappearance. He had left her without
cent. and she was entirely dependent
upon strangers for food to keep her and
her child from starvation. The police will
communicate with her brother aud he
will no doubt send enough money to take
them back TO Eau Claire.
Michael used to talk about going to the
Tacoma exhibition, and the police are in
clined to think that he will be found there.
Mrs. Fennessy will apply to the British
Consul to-day for assistance till she hears
from her brother. She is q bright, engag-
ing little woman and feels the desertiOn Of
