HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Result of Fight Between Two Resi-
dents of Bryant Street.

Result of a Fight Between Two Resi-
dents of Bryant Street.
William Forman, a house-mover, on Bry-
ant street,was locked up in the City Prison
yesterday to await the result of injuries
received by Samuel Hamilton of Second
and Bryant streets at his hands last Satur-
day night.
The two men met in the Gold Dust
saloon and had several drinks together.
They visited other saloons and quarreled
in their cups. They agreed to go to North
Park lane, quiet, secluded place, to set
tie their differences. They fought for some
time, till finally Forman retreated to hay
loft. Hamilton remained on the street
and Forman hurled block of wood from
the hay loft at him. 1t struck him on the
head, fracturing his skull.
Hamilton was taken to the Receiving
Hospital, but his friends refused to allow
him to remain there, and, against the pro-
tests OF the surgeons, he was taken to his
home. On Monday night his condition
became critical and the attending physi-
clan expresses the opinion that his recov-
cry is doubtful.

GOODS MADE BY CONV|CTS
The Prison Directors Reply
to the anufacturerS
Association.
Manufactured In Eastern
Prisons.

Several months ago the California Cotton
Mills Company of Oakland sent a commu-
nication to the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association that it was probable
that theR State Prison Directors would en-
large the plant at the San Quentin prison
so as to manufacture other goods than jute
bags. The association sent the letter to
the prison directors. together with the in
quiry if they intended to cause the prison
ers to make goods now made by freemen.
The letter was in the form of protest
against such course on the part of the
prison directors.
Yesterday a long answer was received
from the directors, in which they began by
clearing the ground of false impressions
entertained by the cotton-mill company
and the members of the association. In
the first place the iute plant was not erected
for the sole benefit of the farmers of Cali
fornia, but to furnish employment for con-
victs who if idle would be hard to control.
So far as the question of employing con-
victs is concerned, the board by law is COM
PEELED to do so, and the only industry now
pursued or allowed by law is the manufac-
ture of jute fabrics. The people of the
State demand that the prison shall be self
supporting so far as possible, because at
prisons is heavy. The letter says: at is
our policy to make this burden as light as
possible upon the taxpayers, having regard
at all times for the interests of free labor.
The directors, so the letter states, do
not intend to manufacture any other than
jute goods. In conclusion the prison di-
rectors give the Manufacturers Association
a little thing to think of in this way:
Probably your association is not aware of the
vast amount OF convict-made goods that is sold
in California manufactured in other prisons.
We are credibly informed that some of the
largest dealers in San Francisco buy large
portion of ready-made clothing manufac-
tured at Eastern State prisons. Some of the
Eastern State prisons manufacture furniture,
chairs, stoves, harness and harness hardware,
door knobs, clothing, agricultural implements,
hats and caps, which find their biggest and
most profitable market in California.
Your association could perform q valuable
work for the State if you would enter into an
investigation of this subject and gather statis-
tics showing the number of prison-made goods
brought into California from the East. If the
people of California are to consume prison
made goods they ought to be of home manu-
facture. In the disposition of prison
labor it is always the desire to diversity it
not to interfere too seriously with other classes
of business. = We shall endeavor to
employ the convicts in the manufacture of
such products as will interfere with monop-

ASSESSOR S|EBE SUED,
Action by Auditor BroderiCk
Regarding UnCoilected
Taxes.
REVENUE LAW COMPLICATION.
Formal Demand That the Assessor
Be Compelled to Pay $4O,1SO 13
to the City.

A suit was begun yesterday by District
Attorney Barnes against Assessor John D.
| Siebe and his bondsmen, John F. Ort-
| mann, Henry Plagemann and Henry F..
Fortm ann, to compel Mr.. Siebe to make a
return to the County Treasurer for $40,-
$50 Is of uncollected personal property
| taxes.
1t is friendly action, instigated by
Auditor Broderick, as the latter cannot
properly audit the books until the uncol-
| lected taxes are legally accounted for. In
the complaint Mr.. Barnes says:
| That after his qualification and taking office
| as Assessor, Siebe did assess personal property
| in this City, unsecured By real estate and
owned by divers owners, to the value OF $62, J,
| 814 OFT. That upon said properly so assessed
| there accrued taxes amounting to ST, Alb
| 315 38.
That said John D. siebe, Assessor of the City
/ and County OF San Francisco, failed and
| neglected to collect of said taxes the sum of
| $40, ,180 49,
That Auditor Broderick examined the assess
ment books ana inform ed Assessor Siebe of the
] money uncollected and demanded that the
| money be paid into the county treasury within
fifteen days.
| That fifteen days have elapsed since the max
| ing of said demand, and said sum has not, nor
has any part thereof, been paid into the county
| treasury of said City and County, and the same
| is now wholly due and unpaid.
| Wherefore plaintiff prays judgment against
| the defendant for the sum of $40 $50 13 and
| costs of suit
| Before the Legislature of 1895 passed the
| law requiring the Assessor to collect the
taxes on all personal property not secured
| by real estate he had assessed all the per-
sonal property. Then the law was changed,
| and he had to collect the taxes on the un-
secured personal property. The assess
ment amounted to $62, ,814,017, upon which
there was due 81 ,413,315 38. The Assessor
collected all but $40, 1S0 Is. The Auditor
reported to the Assessor on August 15 that
there was $40, ,1sO 13 uncollected taxes due.
Assessor Siebe states that the taxes un-
collected were on personal property which
had been moved or concealed before he
was authorized to collect the tax. There
| was large amount of property belonging
to Chinese, and a number of vessels were
| not in port when he tried to collect.

THE PUBLIC IS BARRED,
No Press Representatives to Be
at the ST. Clair-HanSen
Hanging.
win Construes His Orders From
Washington.

If United States Marshal Barry Bald
wins present state of mind continues no
press representatives will be allowed to
witness the execution of Thomas st. Clair
and Hans Hansen, the two brutal mur-
derers of Mate Fitzgerald of the bark Hes
per.
Since November Z, when word arrived
from Washington that President Cleve-
land had refused to interfere in the cases of
the men. Mr.. Baldwin has been in a state
of great perturbation regarding the hang
ing, and all inquiries regarding the prepar-
ations for the execution have been met
with firm refusal to impart news. The
Marshal has made number of trips to
San Quentin to confer with Warden Hale,
but no details as to who would occupy the
scaffold first or other particulars have been
obtainable.
The Marshal has evidently been very
much wrought up over the fact that the
execution must take place under his
direction, and his nervousness has been
evident to all who have spoken to him on
the subject. Yesterday he declared that
no reporters would be allowed within
sight of the scaffold, and he claims that
his authority came from Washington.
1t is known that he recently received q
to conduct the execution with all the
privacy possible, but it is said the message
contained no word regarding press repre-
sentatives and that Mr.. Baldwin's inter
probation of the telegram has been made
to suit his own wishes.
A number of Federal officers prefer to
believe that Mr.. Baldwin is not at all sure
of being able to do the work properly and
that his idea is to have as few witnesses as
possible in case the hanging should be
bungled.
AS arrangements now stand there are to
be three electric buttons pressed to work
the drop, one man to each button, and no
one is to know which completes the circuit
that Will start the current through the
| wires. Thus far in the preparations no one
has been selected to man the buttons and
it is probable that the Marshal will not
| make the names public until the last mo-
ment, if at all.
In cases of Federal hanging the author
ity of the United States Marshal is consid-
cred to be supreme at the place where the
execution takes place, and at San Quentin
on Friday Warden Hale will be subject to
the orders of Marshal Baldwin. 1t is
doubted in many quarters that the latter's
nerve will be sufficient to carry him
through the ordeal that awaits him.

Superintendent of Schools Madison Bah
cock was instructed to nominate com
mittee of nine to draft suitable resolutions
in memory Of the deceased and to arrange

School, Madison Babcock, Assistant Su.
perintendent of Schools, and James Den

The schools will stand adjourned to-day
to enable the teachers and pupils to attend

The vacancy in the office of County Su
perintendent of Schools caused by the
death of A. J. Moulder has already been
the subject of lively speculation as to his
successor.
John SWEET, Madison Babcock, G. s.
Young and c. B. Stone are mentioned as
probable successors to the place. Other
aspirants are expected to crop up before
selection is made by the Board of Edu,

ALONG THE WATER FRONT,
Another Ocean Disaster-The
Ship Parthia Burned
at Sea.
Captain Carter, the Chief Officer
and Eighteen of the Crew
Are Missing.

The American ship Parthia from Liver
pool for San Francisco with a load OF coal
has been burnt at sea, Captain Carter and
eighteen of the crew are missing and the
chances are that they perished in mid
ocean. The second officer and part of the
crew reached Valparaiso in pitiable con-
dition. They had battled with the waves
for days and being short of provisions and
water were almost ready to give up when
the coast was sighted.
About the 9th of last month smoke was
noticed making it's way out of the matches.
The vessel was then about 400 miles off the
south coast of Chile and the captain at
once headed her for land. Everything
was battened down and the decks were
kept constantly flooded with water. The
attempt to smother the fire was useless
and at noon on the 1st inst. it got beyond
all control.
The woodwork was afire, and the crew
had to abandon the ship. Captain Carter
went in one boat and with him went the
majority of the crew. The others went
with the second mate in the captains gig.
During the night the boats separated, and
finally the mate, after battling with the
waves for nearly a fortnight, reached
Valparaiso. Both boats were poorly pro-
visioned, and the chances are that if not
picked up by passing ship Captain Carter
and his crew will die OF starvation.
The Parthia was built at Bath, Me-, in
1891, and was of 2370 tons net burden. She
was 260 feet inches long. A feet 4 inches
broad and 10 feet inches deep. She came
to San Francisco on her maiden trip and
took a load of wheat to Cork. Captain
Carter was on his way back here with a
load of coal when the disaster occurred.
Thomas Finnerty, one OF the patrolmen
for the Sailors Union, was arrested yes
terday on a charge of battery and locked
up in the Harbor Police station. Alex
ander Johnson is member of the union,
but latterly he has failed to pay his dues.
Finnerty demonstrated with him, but
Johnson was obdurate. Finnerty then
took the law into his own hands and gave
the unfortunate sailor an unmerciful
beating. AS soon as he recovered John
son swore out warrant for battery.
The barkentine Electra arrived last
night from Alaska minus one of her crew.
The first day out one of the foremast
hands was sent aloft to help in unbending
the fore topgallantsail. He missed his
footing. and falling to the deck below was
instantly killed. Captain Verrey made a
thorough examination of the body, but
found life extinct. The body was buried
at sea.

That city has already raised a purse of
100000, and will undoubtedly make an
offer to pay the committees Indebtedness.
Chicago is making every effort to Sc
cure the big convention, and that city is
looked upon as a most favorable place by
the majority of the candidates because it
is SO easy of access and will cost so little
to send large numbers of their workers to
the convention. Candidates from such
States as Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois and
even Pennsylvania and New York fire.
quently send whole clubs of workers to
the convention city. They are supplied
with brass band, handsome banners and
sometimes with uniforms. They parade
the streets and cheer for their man. They
go into the convention and when the name
of their man is mentioned will break in
with rousing cheers that create for the
time superficial enthusiasm. For these
reasons Chicago makes very strong show
ing every time she enters the fight for a
National convention.
~ understand that st. Louis, too, is
sending out letters to all the National COM
mitteemen and is making quite a deter
mined effort for the convention.
II am sorry to say that great many OF
the National committeeman promise nearly
everybody who asks them to vote for their
city. AT the last contest in Washington
l offered a resolution that the vote be
taken openly and by rollcall, but the argu-
ment was coldly and boldly made in my
presence that the gentlemen had made sc
many promises that they did not dare to
vote openly on the question. So the prece-
dent was followed and secret vote taken
in spite of my efforts.
'Asfar as National politics are concerned
l do not think sentiment has crystalllzed
enough yet for any one to predict the
nominee of the Republican party.
New York will vote solidly for Morton
but how long it will stick to him is prob
lematical. | know of no other State that
viii. vote for him. New England will be
for Tom Reed of Maine, and Mckinley will
get his own and some of the Southern
States. / think that Allison exhibits the
greatest strength of all. He has Kansas
Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and
many other of the States of the Mississippi
Valley.
my private opinion is that great
many ballots will be cast before the nom
inee is chosen, for we are now face to face
with great many candidates, none o.
whom are so strong as to enlist any great
enthusiasm"
Mr.. de Young is looking and feeling
very well after his long vacation. He has
made any number OF purchases for the
new park museum, and has shipped about
200 cases in all. Sixty-seven of these
cases of curios will arrive shortly on the
clipper ship Cutohna. and twenty-si1
more cases are en- route on the Strathdon

THE FIRST CLASH.
Two Hunters on the San Pablo
Marsh Arrested and Fined
for TreSpaSsinR

The first news of the trouble on the
marshes between the duck hunters and the
clubmen was q semi-official communica-
ton received by Deputy Fish and Game
Commissioner It. Babcock. 1t was from
San Pablo and reads:
This morning the duck-shooting season
opened and with it the first clash OF hunters
and keepers OF the duck preserve occurred on
the grounds of the San Pablo Shooting and
Fishing Club. With the dawn of day about
twenty good and true sportsmen appeared and
attempted to invade the preserve grounds
Tney were promptly met by nearly an equal
number of keepers, who ordered them off.
Fearing arrest and much consequent trouble
all retired except two, who gave their names as
Lambert and said they had been employed to
shoot on these grounds and they proposed to
do so. They promptly ordered the keepers
not to interfere with them and, presenting
their guns, threatened to shoot any who did so.
The keepers prudentIy retired to respect
able distance and dispatched one of their num-
Der to the nearest Justice of the Peace and
swore out warrants for the arrest of the tres
passers. These warrants were delivered to the
