The Flowers WiIted.

Chicago, April 15.--The shipment of
carload of California flowers to the
Chicago market for the Eastern trade
proved an Improbable experiment..
Three-fourths of the carload arrived at
Chicago in worthless condition. Out
of $4,000 Gala lilies less than 1000 of
them were found fit for the market. In
the shipment there we're several thousand
date and fan palms in good condition,
which would have been in demand if they
had arrived before Palm Sunday. The
only flowers in the consignment that
brought good price were 10000 mar
guerites, which retalled at $3 hundred.

Birmingham, Ala, April 15.-Rev. J. M.

er, met death in horrible manner at
Sandy Ridge, Ala, yesterday. While
delivering sermon he suddenly fell to
the floor in spasms and died with his con-
gregation about him. He had taken a
lot of strychnine, which he carried in his
pocket on bread crumbs to kill English
sparrows that infested his yard, instead
of sugar, which he was in the habit of
carrying in his pocket to relieve hoarse-
ness. He took the poison by mistake.

THE BOOM IN BEEF.
Theories of several Eastern Author.
!ties who Claim to Know All
About 1t.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 15.-The Daily Ex
press yesterday published column inter
view with Christian Klinck, the millionaire
wholesale dealer in beef and pork Of this
city, in which Mr.. Klinck states that the
present high price in meat is directly
chargeable to combine of the large
packers in the west. He says:
"This monopoly has driven the small
dealers to the wall, principally by a
shrewd arrangement with the railroads,
whereby the roads are carrying the ring's
product for about one half less than the
rates ordinary dealers have to pay. The
ring own their own cars and these they
load up with $4,000 to 10000 pounds and
bill generally at 10000 pounds. The
railroads dare not question the weights.
lest they lose their patronage, and so the
bill goes"
NOT DUE TO A COMBINE.

H. @. Bromeyer has just returned from
an extended trip throughout the south
west as far as Corpus Christi, Texas, and
brings with him valuable information

the prevailing high prices of beef. From
facts given by him it would seem that the
excessive cost of beef at present is not
due 80 much to so-called combine of
wholesale butchers or packers as to
greatly reduced supply of cattle, due to
several causes. The governor outlines
this as follows:
l. reaction resulting from over
production since 1888.
2. tive-years continuous drought in
the brood belt of Texas.
3. The high price of corn and conse-
quent decrease of the supply of corn-fed
cattle.
4. prolonged winter and resulting
six weeks delay in the production of
grass-fed cattle on the market, due to
late grass crops in the Indian Territory
and Texas.
GOVERNMENT FIGURES.
Washington.-Dr Salmon, chief of the
bureau of animal industry, is preparing
instructions to agents in accordance
with Secretary Morton's directions to in.
vestigate the cause of the high price of
beef products and what influence the
trusb Ildu On uuo prIcts. Ito luQu Will
be carried on at Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Omaha, Nebraska City, Sioux
City, Hammond, Ind, and other points
where the bureau has force of experts.
The latest cattle statistics of the agri-
cultural department we're furnished by
Statistician Robinson, Feb. IA last. He
says: "The decrease in the number of
oxen and other cattle since the estimate
for January, 1894, has been very marked.
It amounts to 2,424,952, or 6.l3 per cent
of last years number. The estimate for
1895 makes the number of such cattle a.
264,216, against 36,60S,l ,l68 in 1894.
Accompanying this considerable de-
crease, in numbers, there has been
falling off In the value per head. The de-
cline in the por capita values has been
from $14.66 in 1894 to $14.06 this year, a
decrease of go cents. The decrease in the
aggregate value is from $536,7S9,747 to
$4s2,999, ,129, or $53,57O,61S."

In view of the numerous objections made
10 the convention being held in San Fran
cisco. L. w. Storror, superintendent OF the
Postal Telegraph Company, who is spend
ing few days in Los Angeles, said to-day:
This talk about the inability of the two teie-
graph companies to handle all the messages
that would be sent is nothing but the merest
twaddle. 1t is only q pretext on the part OF
those who sre antagonistic to the convention
going to San Francisco from Interior motives

and do not dare to come out openly against it.
The telegraphic facilities are ample for all pur
poses No newspaper in the country would
want to handle more than 10 900 words day
of the convention doings. When the conven-
ton was held in Minneapolis the San Fran
cisco papers got the verbatim reports of the
transactions, together with many columns OF
gossip vet there was no inconvenience. 1t is
Just as easy to send q report one way as
another
This argument is only a fimsy subterfuge.
Take the case of the great sullivan-Kilrain
fight in the woods north of New Orleans. All
the papers all over the country got full reports
after each round and there were thousands of
words sent Immediately after the contest, and
there was no complaint of the inadequacy of
the wires. Yet there were only few wires
strung around through the pine trees to the
place where the big fight occurred. Hundreds
of other like incidents could be repeated. Take
the case of the great yacht races last summer,
and it was the same. Why, even during the
war all the descriptions of the battles were
sent in full to the coast, and there was no
complaint. The facilities to-day, with all the
modern, Improvements, are 100 per cent
greater than they were in those days. There
are plenty of wires, and the two companies can
easily handle all the matter that the press of
the country wants. This talk about the tele-
graph facilities being inadequate is all bosh
If there is no other reason than this why San
Francisco should not get the convention she
will have it sure.

or third sewer would be useless, but again
in reply to Mr.. Black he said that in case
these large lots should be divided up into
25-foot lots all the side sewers would
be necessary, and if not put in before the
street was accepted it would be necessary
to tear up the street to put them in. "In
all cases where pieces OF property wider
that twenty-five feet are owned by single
persons it is customary to provide in the
specifications for side sewers every twenty
five feet"

was expected to give some important tes-

Mr., Clement said that he did not know
ANYTHING about concrete or bitumen, and
the Judge suggested that the Assistant
District Attorney get some one who was
an authority to show the bad quality of
the work.
On Mr.. Blacks offering to show that
after the work was done 1t was accepted by
Mr. Ashworth when he knew that it was
defective, however, Mr.. Clement was al
lowed to 90 on. He said the concrete was
laid not over twenty-foIr hours prior to
the having of the bitumen.

1898 we protested. After the new board

was made by Mr.. Ashworth for its accept
ance, although on account of our protest it
had been refused acceptance for over a
year. The board accepted the street.

FIRE PATROL IN DANGER,
Fifteen Insurance Companies
Have Withdrawn Their
Support.
The Patrols Directors Decide to Dis.
solve if Necessary Help Be Not
Given.

The rate war among the local insurance
companies and the breaking up of the in
surance union is likely to have reaction
airy effect that will result disastrously alike
to the companies and to the public. While
the rate war ragged, and ever since, those
who had previously dweIt in peace and
harmony became business enemies.
As is we'll known, the public received
the benefit of much lower rates of insur-
ance upon their property and the COM
panies suffered corresponding loss of
their usual profits. At last the differences
reached that point that it began to be felt
in the Underwriters Fire Patrol and fif-
teen companies declined to assist in the
support of this almost indispensable ad-
iunct to the municipal Fire Department.
The forty-eight who continued to con-
tribute to the support of the Fire Patrol
began to grumble and at last it was de-
cided to take some action in the premises.
To this end the board of direc-
tors of the Fire Patrol held a meeting
Yesterday. The situation was discussed at
length, and the directors determined that
it was not fair that the forty-eight should
contribute the necessary funds to conduct
the fire. patrol system, which cost many
thousand dollars a month, and that the
fourteen outsiders should receive an equal
benefit and not contribute a single cent.
At last it was decided to call meeting
of all the fire insurance companies in the
City, contributors and non-contributors,
for Friday morning. The non-contribu-
tors will be plainly told that if they do not
pay their share the Fire Patrol system will
be abandoned altogether. The following
companies are outside of the fold and are

One of the directors last evening said /:
at is unfair for US to pay the expenses
and let those who do not pay cent re-
ceive the benefit. AT recent fire on Mar
ket street our men got in with their rubber
blankets and other apparatus and saved
thousands of dollars worth of property.
1t turned out that all of the property
saved was insured in companies that did
not contribute a cent to the patrol. 1t is
the duty of Underwriters Fire Patrol
men TO save property from fire and water
wherever it may be and without question
ing if it be insured or not, or with what
company. The strain is little too much"
President Layton declined to discuss the
situation, stating that he had no right to
anticipate the action of the meeting on
Friday. He hoped anything of a serious
nature might be averted.
Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department
stated that it would be suicidal on the in
