WILSON'S AWFUL DEATH,
Crushed in the Machinery of the
Sutter.Street Railway
Building.
He Was Caught Up by Cable and
Whirled Around Among the
Revolving Wheels.

John Wilson, an employe of the Suffer.
street Cable Railway Company. met with
a horrible death at the power-house, corner
of Polk and Suffer str Gets, yesterd ay
morning.
He was engaged as cable splicer, and
while occupied about the machinery his
clothes became entangled, and before Chic
Engineer Frank Z. Mason could reverse
the engine he was caught up by the cable
and whirled around the wheel.
His head and legs were almost torn from
his body and his trunk was fearfully man
gled and lacerated.
Wilson was a splicer and repairer Of
cables for great many years. He was a
very quick and cool man, as he had to be
in his kind of work, for it was necessary
to go among moving wheels and cables
and frequently he went very close to the
rapid machinery.
In the morning he was splicing cable
which had become considerably worn,
and another cable caught his coat and
dragged him up on the drum and between
the winder and the rope. After his ter.
ribly lacerated and torn remains had
passed over the winder it was with some
difficulty that the machinery could be re
versed. His remains fell into the pit
fifteen feet deep, below.

Subject.

Mayor Sutro received communication
from Captain W. L. Merry yesterday, &C
cepting the appointment of delegate to the
TransMississippi Congress, and stating
that he had prepared paper to read be-
fore that body on the Nicaragua canal.
He also requested that the Mayor pre-

To the Honorable Senate and House of Repre-
sentGtipes in Congress assembled: Your me-
morialist, the Board of Supervisors of the City
and County of San Francisco, CAL, respectfully
but urgently request that the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress will not fail to enact such wise and con-
sentative legislation as will secure the speedy
construction of the Nicaragua canal, and under
the control of our Government and for the
benefit of our whole country, under such con-
ditions as will secure low tolls without dis
elimination and free from the abuses which
have attended franchises granted to inland
transportation companies.
The commercial interests of our country de-
mand this benefcent work, its political situa-
ton makes it necessity and Congress will dis
regard our military safety If it permits it's con-
troll by any European power. Confident that
we do not appeal in vain to the wisdom and
patriotism OF your august body we have the
honor to subscribe ourselves your fellow-citi-
zens, the Board of Supervisors OF the City and

Majesty and prince Ananias," lately
played at the Columbia Theater by the
ever popular Bostonians, and selections
from "Our Shop Girls" and other popular
PLAYS now running in the East.
Plants were also placed along the sides
and corners of the room, and small ever
green trees, with palms and other greenery,
formed two lines on the stairway leading
to the ballroom, supper-rooms and gallery.
The rest of the building was thrown open
to the guests, the supper-room being es-
pecially attractive, with its furnishings of
gold and blue drapery and hanging bas-
kets of ferns. Before the ball began the
ballroom was in comparative darkness,
only few of the electric lights burning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sprague and Judge Wal
lace received with the debutante in the
center of the hail. Miss Sprague wore a
handsome D oucet gown. heavily embroid-
cred with pearls, and Miss Cooper was in
white MORE tulle, elbow sleeves with long
white gloves. The hall, an attractive one,
had been made particularly so by the skilled
handiwork of the florist, and the scene
when filled with handsomely attired ladies
and their escorts, was brilliant one. The
stage was perfect mass of ferns and
chrysanthemums of varied hues. In front,
and dependent from the high ceiling was
a canopy of heavy festoons of smilax, and
in the center was very large basket of
pink chrysanthemums, from which
dro pped graceful sprays of smilax.
The entire gallery was a mass of ferns,
among which were several cozy bowers,
which were used by the dancers and spec
tators as lounging- places during the even
ing. The stationary seats of the hall were
folded up, and along the sides were
banks of ferns and potted plants.
Easy chairs were placed in front for the
use of the dancers and on-lookers. Pen
dent from the front of the gallery were
large baskets of chrysanthemums, grad
uated from the dark red in the center to
the pale hues at the ends.
The reception-rooms of the hall were
draped with smilax and roses, and several
large parlor lamps with bright-colored
shades perfected the scene.
Clasping her neck was string of pearls.
Supper was announced at midnight and
was served in the lower hall, which was
most beautifully decorated, and the ar
rangements were SO perfect that all the
guests were comfortably seated at the tete-
a-tete tables. Nothing could be suggested
IN the matter of decorations. The large
rooms were draped in gauze of light colors
and punches of ferns and chrysanthemums
hnlsned the adornments. The repast was

WAS AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS
The Wealth, Culture and Beauty of
San Francisco Assemble to
Dance and Feast.

Judge and Mrs. William T. Wallace
opened the dancing season with their ball
last evening given in honor of their daugh-
ter, Miss Romie Wallace, at National
Guard Hall, SIS Ellis street, near Van
Ness avenue, and it was as all other func-
tons given by them, q splendid social and
artistic success. There were gathered the
intelligence, the wealth and the beauty of
San Francisco, and it is doubtful if, in all
the social history of San Francisco, there
has ever been held an event of similar
kind, the appointments, the surroundings
and the personnel of which blended and
harmonized so we'll and so happily, insur-
ing entire and unqualified success.
For weeks not only the debutante, but
the married and older women as well, have
been looking forward to this affair as one
of great pleasure and unusual interest
The first ball of the season is the one at
which many young women make their
debut, and many a beautiful gown was
worn for the first time last evening.
As the hour of 10 o'clock approached,
the neighborhood of Van Ness avenue and
Ellis street for blocks was a mass OF fash
ionable vehicles not to mention the crowd
of oniookers who stood near the entrance
from the street to the door, eager to catch
a sight of those going to the ball.
"Stand asider' was heard every few
minutes from the policemen who guarded
the entrance as some over-anxious-to- see
urchin came TOO close to the carriage
doors. Inside the hall all was animation
and expectancy. Electric lights, shaded
by tinted pink globes gave a soft and be-
coming glow to all the rooms. Polite
attendants showed the ladies to their
dressing-rooms. and the men were shown
to theirs the same way. From evening
wraps to full ball costume was the work OF
a few moments, when entrance to the ball
room was made. There the scene was a
beautiful one. Exquisite gowns and
Jewels were seen to the best advantage
under pink lights that Illuminated the
room.
A full orchestra under the leadership of
Valentine Huber was placed on the stage
behind bank of tall, graceful palms and
chrysanthemums, that nearly concealed
the musicians, but did not interfere with
the bright, catchy music, many pieces Of
which only arrived from the East yester-
day. Among the numbers were the popu-
lar waltZes from the opera princess
Bonnie" a greet favorite in the East
1.-The Birth of the Rose" was another
pretty waltz.
