"When we talk about paving" said
Alderman Higgs this afternoon, ga
kick goes up at once from some of the

bonds, payable one-fifth in five years,
or one-tenth in ten years."

Monterey album, which is attracting great
attention throughout the city and State,
expressed desire to secure the first three

cut the first coupons.
A majority of them were free to confess
that they had been guilty of neglect. Some
uf them offered as an excuse that they had
no idea of the beauty or value of the work.
Others, again, said they were first i'm
pressed with the work by seeing the Mont
Grey number, and this provoked desire to
have the complete set.
But whatever may be the reason for
failure to obtain the first parts of "Pictur-
esque California" the fact remains that

A FEARFUL FALL.
Little Roy Raymond Crashes Through

An accident occurred yesterday which
will undoubtedly cause the death of a
beautiful little tot Of 5, whose floating
curls are like woven gold.
DR.. Hartman is the lessee of the house
and grounds which were formerly occu-
pied by DR.. E. B. SpaldiDg as the Trinity
School al 1884 Mission street. Some of the
apartm' of the edifice he has sublet
for house keeping purposes. and in one of
these Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond and their
only child reside. The long French win
dows of their rooms open on a porch,
which is the roof of the large reading
room beneath.
Little Roy Raymond has been used to
play on this porch. and yesterday no was
there with all his toys. To save a ball
from falling into the garden he rushed
over the skylight and came crashing
through glass and splInters to the table IN
rhe r1ading-room, distance of thirty feet.
DR. Hartman was reading at the table at,
the time and narrowly escaped being
struck by the falling BODY.
No outward indications showed that the
child lived. The physician hastened for a
galvanlc battery, but IT was only after a
current of the strongest power had been
used for ten minutes that the little one
opened his eyes.

their heads very obviously, for poor Roy

and In 1t General Allen laid the founda-
tion OF his education. Born of a siudious
family. with the aid of his father. his spare
hours were spent in accommodating such
knowledge as was afforded from their
scaDt supply of books.
In 1856 the family moved to Contra
Costa County, where they lived quietly
until the death of the father in 1866 who
survived his wife only a few years. Mr.
Allen, then young man 90 years of age,
moved to San Francisco and engaged in
the livery stable business on Folsom
street, in which he continued until the
election OF Governor Haight a year later,
when he was appointed Adjutant-General
of the State, in which position he served a
full term. During the war Of the rebel
lion he enlisted as private and served to
its conclusion. During its progress he
was wounded, for which he drew pen
sion.
About the year 1865 General Allen was
married to sister of William NJ. Mendel-
thai, who came to California in 1876, being
a member of the famous Bear-fag party.
Through this union two children were
born. both of whom are living. The
eldest is the wife of DIR. E. w. Biddle OF
Healdsburg and the other, son re-
sides at Livermore. Mrs. Allen died
about fifteen years ago, and soon after her
death General Allen took up his residence
IN Livermore with his son and during late
years has made that his home.

a petition for a writ of review of the pro-

his case. Accompanying his petition is a

Mr.. Clarke is virtuously indignant at
the way in which he was packed off TO

that and other iniquities, the counselor
saws:
