BAD CAR SERVICE.
Tho Railroad Company Fails to
Treat the Ingleside Enterprise
DeCently

DeCently.
On the opening day of the track at Ingle-
side. an intimate friend of its energetic
young president was bewailing the rain
and said: ut has kept away at least 5000
people"
THAT may be-" said Joe Ullman, who
stood by. "but it is blessing in disguise.
If this had been a fair day the railroads
would never have been able to handle the
people"
He was just about as near ri ght as men
generally get to be. The great stumbling
block in the way of the new track to-day
is the conservative and eXtra-economical
way that both the steam trains and cleo
trio cars are giving their alleged service to
the public. There would be from 200 to
500 people going out there every morning
between s and IL o'clock to see the horses
work, II there were only some way of get
ting there.
What the horsemen want is about three
cars every hour to the track over the cleo
trio road out Mission street and that with
out change of cars. The railroad people
do not put on any cars over the new line
until noon and then the schedule is by far
too infrequent for the good of tffe public.
A. B. Spreckels and his associates. sew
eral of whom are non-residents of TINS
State, have expended nearly half q million
dollars to give San Francisco a model race
course and as they are not in the trans
portation business themselves they should
be met at least half way by those who are.
If ever the new Ingeside course becomes
a failure it will be through the negligen re
and incompetency of the railway officials
who are entrusted with carrying people TO
and from the track.

The Races at Ingleside Viewed
by Governor Budd and
Staff.
SALLIE CLICQUOT WAS BEATEN.
Oregon Eclipse Was Top-Heavy
Favorite for the Third Race
and Ran Unplaced.

The racing at Ingleside track was graced
yesterday by the presence Of Governor
Budd and staff. His Excellency arrived at
the track Just in time to see his nameSake
finish third in the opening race. The
Governor and party were shown through
the buildings by Mr.. Corrigan, one of the
directors of the new Jockey Club, and all
expressed themselves as charmed with the
new course and lis surroundings.
Starter Caldwell was in excellent form
with his flag and was personally compli-
mented by his Excellency for his splendid
starting.
The card for the day was rather an ordi-
nary one, but racegoers turned out in full
force. The track was still muddy nearest
the rail. making fast time an impossibifity.
Favorites were successful in two events,
old Strathmeath, the Derby-winner, being
one of them.
Willie Martin carried off the Jockey
honors, riding two winners and second.
Sallie Clicquot was plunged on to win
the opening run at six furlongs for two
year-olds, and after looking all over win
ner in the stretch Martin either eased up
on her or she quit, and was beaten by imp.
Miss Brummel, at s to l in the betting.
The Eastern delegation all got down
hard on Strathmeath to winthe mile and
seventy yards, backing him to standstill
at odds of 3 to 5. Martin rode pretty
waiting race on him, lying in fourth posi-
ton until the stretch was reached. when
he came on and, in drive, beat the sec
ond choice, Collins, head. Jack Richie

WAS CASEY TO BLAME ?
Inquest on Bicyclist McMenomy POST
poned Upon the Request Of His
Brother.


Coroner Hawkins did not complete yes
terday his investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the death of the
bicyclist, John McMenOmy, who was run
over by a buggy in Golden Gate Park Sun
day. The inquest was postponed week
to give time for further evidence to be pro-
cured.
Edward Casey and Miss Mary Foster,
the occupants of the buggy which collided
with McMenomy, and caused the fatal in
jurles. were both present, and so was
Nicholas McMenomy, a brother OF the de-
ceased. Nicholas was inclined to think
that the affair could have been avoided.
Several wheelmen took an interest in the
proceedings.
The story Driver Casey told, when he
gave himself up to the police, he repeated
Yesterday, and it was corroborated by
N. J. Phelan, who was driving rig
through the park, close to Casey's. Casey
said that McMenomy suddenly shot in
front of him, and before he had time to
stop the collision resulted, McMenomy
being thrown off his wheel and run over.
The bicycle was inspected by the jury.
Several spokes were broken i'll each wheel.
1t looked as if it had been struck from the
side.
The postponement of the inquest was
taken in Difference to McMenomy' s
brother. who said he had been informed
that several persons saw the occurrence
and were willing to swear that Casey was
to blame for it. He admitted that nobody
had made any such statement direct to
him.
An inquest was held on the body of
Giuseppe Riso, the barber OF AL Broad
way, who shot himself Tuesday because of
charges made against him by little girls.
The verdict was suicide.
In the case of John Wilson, the cable
splicer whe was killed IN the ''winders" OF
the Sutter-street carhouse, the jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death.
A verdict of suicide was rendered IN the
case of John Max. who shot himself in
Golden Gate Park on the Goth inst.

track YESTERDAY, but will be seen in the
saddle III the near future.
Mat storm. the owner of Governor Budd,
who finished third in the opening race,
was very much disappointed at the young
ster's showing. Mat thousht his chance
of winning was the very pest, ana more
iudciously ridden the geldlng might have
had his number hoisted on top.
Riley Grammar at last succeeded in
breaking his spell of i'll luck. He backed
both Candor and Renown to win the TIL ird
race. and. as the latter-named horse was a
long shot in the betting, the bookies re-
allied after the race that Riley had paid
them visit.
Rainero, of the Santa Anita stables, who
was scratched in the opening race is one
of the grandest looking youngsters at the
track. He stands over l6 hands high
being in stature q rival of the gigantic
Lucky Dog.
It is rumored that the clever rider,
George Miller, who has been riding in
races the horses owned by Walter Hobart,
will shortly assist in the training of the
cracks owned by the young millionaire.
The grand racehorse Joe Ripley is again
in training. He was fired, and is said to
be doing we'll in his work. He once gave
Henry Of Navarro one of the hardest runs
of his career, and competent judges think
he should have beaten the Belmont crack.
Barney Schreiber's gray gelding, reliable
old Draw Scot, was starter In the fourth
race, but did not cut ruch or figure. He
is a great favorite with California race
goers and there was no complaint after the
race, for they count on getting their money
bet back with interest. 1t was his first
race this winter.
Belle Boyd made very poor showing in
the opening race. Piggott, who rode the
filly, said that she swerved out on turning
into the stretch and would not try there
after, an unusual thing for the gam e
daughter of Ell Rio Rey.

Conner MORGAN IN TOWN,
The Official Of the Philadelphia
Mint on the Carson En-.
bezzlementS.
A WITNESS IN THE TRIALS.
He Passed on the Books in 1893, but
Took the ASsayer's Figures
as True.

w. E. Morgan, coiner of the Philadel-
phia Mint, is at the Palace. He was called
as a witness in the case of the big embez-
lement from the Carson Mint, and will re-
turn to Carson to-day to give more testi-
mony.
He says there is great interest in the trial
at Carson.
~ was called az witness because l
passed the books in 1893, said he. Il was
then, as I had been for years before, en-
gagged for the Government at the mint at
Washington, and was sent out here to
make the yearly settlement and see that
everything was correct.
"S;nce then, as you know, there has been
charges of embezzlement of q total of $751;
600 against Heney, Jones and Piper OF the
| mint. Henev's case, to which was called,
| was the first to be tried. The charge was
that there was a spurious melt in 1893, the
year passed on the books. | 40 not think
that there was, but there might have been.
I simply took the assayer's report.
"Heney was working in the refinery. l
see since l left Carson that the jury dis
agreed in his case. | am sorry it didn't de-
eide one way or the other, because l sup
pose there will have to be new trial and
this will mean a lot of trouble and ex-
pense. | got to Carson on November II
and remained ten days.
"The trial of John T. Jones, who was the
assistant meter and refiner, comes on
next, and l am to be a witness in that also.
My evidence is 20 be, as in Heney's case. IN
reference to the weight and tineness of the
| metals. After ex-Assistant Meter and
| Refiner Jones' trial is finished Piper will
| be put on trial.
"Though there is great interest in these
| cases at Carson, not much evidence OF a
sensational character was introduced. 1t
was mainly technical. as to processes. In
general it brought out nothing very new,
| the testimony being much the same as in
| the previous examination.
Il will leave for Reno tomorrow, and
will be at Carson on Monday, when the
| trial OF John T. Jones begins.
Il was out at the United States Mint
here to-day and called on Director Dag
| gett, Coiner A. T. Spots and others, and
am very we'll pleased with the workings of
| the Mint here. l passed on the books
| here. too, in 1893, while in the department
at Washington"
Conner Morgan is well acquainted with
Judges McKenna and Morrow and others

OF Western
Minnesota-So Says One Who
Knows, and He Also Gives
Some Reasons Why.

An old acq uaintance, a travel
man, by the way, a man of the
world and of large business ex-
perience, happened into our Of
flee the other day, and the con-
Versation tarried on the outlook
for business this fall, he all at
once turned and delivered this
sally;
''Say, do you know that WILL
mar does more business to the
square foot of her capacity than
any other town in western Min
nesota 2"
We confessed that we didn't
know that fact, but was pleased
to learn that it was so, He con.
tinued;
"Somehow or other Willmar
does more business right now,
dull as it is, than she did one year
ago. She did more one year ago
than the year before, and so on,
irrespective of panics, small
PRICES, OF anything else. The
fact is, you have got the country,
the soil, I mean, to back a grow
ing town. You have the terri
tory, as well, to draw from, and
you have the transportation ia.
cilities: These three factors lie
at the bottom Of Your phenome-
nal and steady growth seen in no
other town west of the cities.
But the most important thing
still to be mentioned is the fact
that you have the business men
that know how to draw trade.
Look at this = and as he said so

people at time. through their
newspapers, and hence they are
always in lack of customers. In
these days a business man must
inform the people what he has to
sell and what bargains he can
offer, and any fact of interest
calculated to draw customers, or
he may as we'll shut up. The
minute one firm begins to adver-
tise extensively and scientifically
the others must do the same or
get left. This brings healthy
competition among the business
men, and the farmers all around
for twenty-five miles will soon
learn where they can do best,
and go there.
THUS the live business town
shoots ahead, like Willmar is
doing now, and the little hamlets
around are wondering why the
farmers will pass right through
town ten or fifteen miles away
from home to trade. The trou-
BILE is, most of such towns are
settled by some old mossbacks
who think that business methods
are the same now that they we're
twenty or thirty years ago. They
never advertise because their
great-grandfathers didn't use to.
Well, now, I'll have to stop or I
shall miss that train" And out
our friend went.
Since then we have thought
over these things, and have come
to the conclusion that our friend
knew good deal about modern
business methods that some of
our business men needed to be
reminded of. Herce we have re-
produced from memory theabove.
