Mortality of TeIegraphists.

The te%legraphists In the service Of
the London Postofice have at last sue
ceeded In securing an inqufrJ into
their grievances by a governments
special committee. Some Of the rules
Of the postoffice which the telegraph
lists complain of are roughly handled
by the English medical press. Much
complaint is made against the prac-
tice of the weekly changing Of the
hours of work, necessitating change OF
habits, irregularity of meals, etc, to
the great detriment Of health. The
most startling part of the evidence,
however, Is that which shows the
large preponderance OF phthisis among
the causes of death in the telegraph
service, which produces a mortality
greater than that among the Sheffield
grinders, a trade which has hitherto
been considered as most fatal IN res
piratory diseases. An Authoritative
table, prepared by a frSt-ciass tele-
graphist, shows that in cases Of death
from respiratory diseases, including
phthisis, up to 80 years OF age, the tel
eg~raphist's average Is sos as against
57.3 OF that OF the cutl~ y trade. These
diseases are responsible for = death
rate of 24.4 of the adult male poprla-
ton between the ages Of rs and SIS, SC
they are nearly two and one-haif times
more fatal in the telegraph service
then among the ordinary population.
In phthisis alone the ration Is still
more striking. Telegraphfsts, 46.6;
grinders, 33.1; average male, B.S.

How the Pardoned Boys Departed
From Prison.


Saltwater. Oct. Is. - Frank and
Louis Floyd left the prison by virtue
Of a pardon granted them by Gov.
Clough, and it is safe to say that two
happier men never left that institu-
ton. The pardon was brought e
by Hon. George A. Bracket Of Min
neapOlis, and the boys were delighted
when they cast aside their first grade
prison uniforms and put on nobby
suits that had been sen to them from
Minneapolis. They could hardly wait
for their hour Of departure and care
fully noted the feeting minutes. Ar
rangements had been made for them
to go on the lao Omaha train, and
shortly before that time they were
driven from the prison to the depot in
a hack I'm company with Mr.. Bracket,
to whom much credit is due for Sc
curing their release. Being asked what
their plans were for the future, they
replied that they we're going to re
main In Minneapolis, where they hope
10 demonstrate by their conduct that
they mean to lead honest and honor
able lives.
Minneapolis, Oct. 15.-On arriving at
the Wessex In Minneapolis, where
their mother has been stopping, the
Floyd boys were greeted by the host
of friends who have stood by them in
their misfortune. Many OF these
friends were Of the fair sex, and their
welcome home was n that many a
IN would spend months In confine-
ment to receive. When a reporter ar
rived IA the Wessex the crowd of
friends had gone and the happy moth
er was alone with her darlings. Mrs.
Floyd's great JOY at getting them
home again was SO great that she
could not keep still a minute, but was
constantly on the move to provide for
their comfort.
Both of the boys show the palOr in
their faces that comes from confine-
ment, but a few days In the open air
will soon restore the color to their
faces. Frank has been sick for some
time, and said that he was used as a
lay figure for the graduates from the
university TO practice on. He said that
this was the only enjoyment he had
while in Saltwater. Lou bears ON his
head a scar that he got in the shoe
shop in the prison from the breaking
of a piece Of machinery.

THE LICK TRUST ENDED,
Final Orders Made in the Case
Yesterday by Judge San
derSOn.
Belcher and Otis, Attorneys for the
Trustees, Allowed Fee OF
$4,000.

A galaxy OF attorneys gathered around
the bar of Judge Sanderson's court yester-
day afternoon to assist in the settling up
of the Lick Trust. There were w. G. Bur-
nett, who represented the Academy of
Sciences; Sheldon G. Kellogg, represent
ing the California School OF Mechanical
Arts; Frank Otis and w. G.. Belcher, attor-
neys for the trustees; E. B. Mastick and
W. A. Matthews, two of the trustees; A.
G. Cotton, representing the Pioneers, and
Joseph Hutchinson, representing Happers-
berger, the sculptor, who had little bill
for balance due on his statuary.
Mr.. Happersberger' bill was first con-
sidered. He asked for 1894, balance he
claimed was due on the 100000, for which
he contracted to erect the statue of Cali
fornia which stands in City Hall avenue,
in front of the dome. Testimony was
heard from the sculptor and from the
trustees, and it was decided to allow the
bill.
Attorney Belcher preached the subject
of fees for himself and Mr.. Otis for work
done during the past six months and for
making UP the accounts and preparing the
complaint upon which the settlement pro-
ceedings were being prosecuted. After
some discussion with the court, during
which Mr.. Belcher was vainly requested to
name a figure he thought suitable, he was
finally persuaded to make an estimate.
He asked for $4,000 for himself and Mr..
Otis.
Immediately great chattering followed
among the legal heads which bent to-
gether over the lawyers table, but out of
it all there was evolved no positive obiec-
ton to the amount, and SO the fee was
awarded.
The order of the court was that, upon
suitable receipts being shown by the
trustees. the trust estate of James Lick
should be settled up and the funds now
in the hands of the trustees be paid over
to the legatees. There remained some
thing over $1,210,000, and this will be
equally divided between the Society of
California Pioneers and Academy of Sci

BIG SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
| Charles c. Phillips Wants Damages
| From the Mark Street Railway.

Charles G. Phillips Wants Damages
From the Market-Street Railway.
Charles C. Phillips will bring suit for
$4,000 damages against the Market-street
Railway Company some day this week.
The papers are now being drawn by MS
attorney, Thomas K. Kase.
Phillips was formerly waiter in the
employ OF the Palm Restaurant on Market
street. On Sunday afternoon, June 30, at
2:30 o'clock, he was q passenger on
Hayes-street car. The complaint will set
forth that che had paid his. fare and was
seated on the outside of the car, Familiarity
known as the dummy, next the small
cross seat in front. When the junction OF
HAYES, Market and Larkin streets was
reached the gripman failed to release the
cable, as required by the rules Of the COM
pany, and the car came to sudden and
violent stop.
The other passengers ON the same seat
with the plaintiff were thrown with con-
siderable force against him. He was
pushed onto the back of the front seat with
such force as to render him unconscious,
receiving also serious internal injuries.
The shock to the car was caused by its
striking the bumper. Phillips was taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where he re-
manned until the next day, when he was
removed to his lodgings.
Attorney Kase says the Market-street
Railway Company was notified by the
physicians of the Receiving Hospital, and
that the following day the injured man
was visited by DR.. Welsh and two other
physicians in the company's employ. He
was placed under the influence of anes-
thetics and thorough examination made
of his injuries. Since the first visit another
examination has been made. The attend
ing physician is DR.. Sidney Worth, who
was called in by the plaintiff.
Phillips has been confined to his bed
ever since the accident, and during that
time negotiations for a settlement have
been opened by Byron Waters, the claim
agent OF the company. The offers made
were not satisfactory to the injured man,
and suit for 900 will be brought as soon
as the necessary legal formalities have been
discharged.
