dispute. Guilty contractors perceiving
the force of the investigation fastened to
mend their work, and III one instance q
contractor tore up defective paving and re-
laid the work according TO specifications.
Suspicion fell on several inspectors and
rested also on Martin keating, chief out
side deputy OF the Street Department. 1t
was reported last evening that two of the
inspectors who passed crooked work could
not be found. One of the experts is con-
tident that they have taken flight, and ere
this time reached the borders OF Canada.
Early yesterday morning premon ition Of
impending disaster must have reached the
Street Department., for the story goes that
active influence was eXerted to persuade
certain mem bers of the Grand Jury to 'let
up on" Ashworth. The jurors had a big
talk among themselves and reached the
conclusion that public duty must be per-
formed, even ii personal friendships had
to be sacrificed. 1t was charged also that
some of the jurors We're giving inside Sc
crets, and so each member was polled and
pledged to the strictest secrecy.
Martin Heating, the chief outside dep
uty, is a brother-in-law of Superintendent
Ashworth. Heating keeps saloon on the
corner of Mission and Bond streets, and
there inspectors, PAYERS, cartmen, con-
tractors and contractors foremen assemble
nightly and exchange gossip about con-
tracts and public work generally.
1t is known that much of the work where
the specifications were violated was under
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-19

ney an accusation against Thomas Ash
worth, Superintendent of Streets.
1t is charged in general terms by the
Grand Jury that Superintendent Ashworth
deliberately accepted defective street work,
knowing that the work was faulty and
knowing that the work and materials were
not up to the requirments of the specifica
tions. --.-t
The accusation duly sets forth that Mr..
Ashworth was elected Superintendent of
Streets; that he qualified by taking the
oath of office and filing the required Off
cial bond.
Specific charges of misconduct in Office
are alleged in connection with the work on
the following contracts:
Public contract 94-Construction of cess
pools al the corner OF Clay aud Spruce streets.
Public contract 21S5-Construction of artifi-
Ci6l stone walks-crossing of Van Ness avenue
and Union street.
Private contract 3066-Construction of BIZ
luminous roadway of Elwood street, off O Far
rell, between Mason and Powell.
Private contract 330S-Construction of iron
stone sewer on Broderick street, between Ellis
and O'Farrell.

cial stone walks-crossing OF Chestnut and

jury had supposed that every possible ave-
nue. for the escape of news had been so
strictly guarded that no one on the out
side could get a hint of the investigation.
1t happened i'll this case that the ac-
counts published in THE CALL assisted
rather than hindered the reform work.
Hearing that the Grand Jury had reso-
lutely determined to go to the bottom OF
Street Department affairs, and bring to
light, if possible, frauds and misconduct
which had long been concealed, public
spirited citizens hastened TO give the jury
tip so as to speed the good work. lnVes-
tigation followed the tips, and the result
was the discovery of alarming crookedness.
The vigilant ability of George w. Elder,
the expert of the Street Committee of the
Board OF Supervisors, was OF great service
to the Jury. His discoveries OF crooked
work were so important that the Super
visors recognized his services by making
him the official expert of the board. While
Mr.. Elder inspected work, tested material
and kept shrewd watch OF operations on
the outside, Mr.. Atkinson, the expert of
the Grand Jury, made a thorough examin-
alton of the books documents ana payrolls
in the office. Both of these experts were
assisted by George L. Gaden, the Mayors
expert.
From many jobs where work was in
progress materials were taken out and
conveyed to the Grand Jury room. Capable
experts were called in to test the material,
and in this way the actual facts were
brought to light and established beyond

BETH ISRAEL ACTIVE.
A Ladies' Auxiliary Will Be Founded in
Connection With the COngre-
cation.

Rabbi Mayer S. Levy announces that his
series of Friday night lectures will COM
mence on the second Friday in November.
Rabbi Levy was the originator of these lee
lures in this City four years ago. The first
five discourses will treat OF London and
other lectures will treat of Paris, Berlin
and Posen, the reverend gentleman having
taken coplous notes during his recent trip
abroad.
Next Monday evening an important
meeting will be held at the Beth
Israel Temple On Geary street. DIR. Levy
in recent sermon urged that the lady
members of his flock should take greater
interest in synagosical affairs. Henceforth
the lady members will take a prominent
part on the school, entertainment, choir
and decoration committees. The school
department will be entirely turned over to
them. The board of trustees will be at the
synagogue to discuss the pros and cons of
the matter.
The presidents message, delived at the
annual meeting, reports the congregation
to be in f1ourishing condition financially.
The assets are ample and the income suf-
fcent to pay all current expenses. An in
crease in the membership is noticeable. a
recommendation for the establishment of
ladies' auxiliary is added to the report of
the president.

The SOUTHERN PACIFIC ISSUES A
CIRCULAR TO OTHER
RAILWAYS.
MR.. KRUTTsCHNITT GOES HOME.
He WILL REFUSE CARS Nor IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE
NEW LAW.

The Southern Pacific Company has
given notice to all the leading railways in
America that it intends to comply with
the act of Congress regulating safety ar
rangements on freightcars.
1t has become q law that to put an end
In some way to the terrible loss of life and
mutilation of limbs of trainmen employed
in railroad yards, certain standard devices
for coupling, ETC., must be used on all rail-
ways engaged in interstate commerce.
The most important feature of this new
regulation is the automatic coupler as
adopted by the Master Carbuilders' Society
of America for coupling freight and pas
senger cars without the necessity of men
going between cars to fasten bolts With
tins attachment, instead of the old clumsy,
and wltha! dangerous. system of coupling
cars by hand, it is enough for the cars to
come together with some force TO insure
them being fastened together. Another
feature is the placing of grabirons and
handholds at a uniform height on all cars,
so that trainmen, when accustomed to the
height and place where the handles are To-
Gated, will seldom miss their hold in board
ing train or climbing TO the roofs of cars.
The new cars of the Valley road are be.
W.
and from that fact some railroad men have
stated their belief that the competing line
intends to engage In interstate commerce.
General Manager Kruttschnitt of the
Southern Pacific took the subject under
consideration some days ago, and vester-
day issued the following official circular
the second one since he assumed the man
agement of the railway-upon the ques-
ton:
The extension of time granted by the Inter
state Commerce Commission Tor the applica-
ton OF grabirons and handholds to freight
cars will expire December /, 1895, and for the
change of drawbars to standard height Febru-
ary Is, 1896.
On and after the aforementioned dates this
company will refuse any and all cars not in
accordance with the law.
J. KRUTTsCHNITT, General Manager
Mr.. Kruttschnitt left yesterday for his
old home in Houston, Tex, for the pur-
pose OF moving to this City. He came
here on an urgent order from G. ?. Hunt
ington, and had barely time to pack his
trunk. Now, however, he has started the
machinery of the Southern Pacific Rail-
way management in motion according TO
his own ideas and can leave his desk for a
short time. He will return with his fam
lily and take up his residence permanently
here. In his absence his duties will be at
tended to by ]. A. Fillmore, now manager
engineer of the maintenance of way de-
partment, although questions of policy
and such fine points as arc alone the realm
of operating management will be left to H
Il. Huntington, the vice-president.

ST. Clair's body was taken in charge by

he heard ST. Clair ask Hansen to tell the
priest that he (St. Clair) was innocent. II

st. Clair. Hansen refused to grant the

ON LOVES COLD TRAIL,
DIVORCE, LIKE MARRIAGE. DOES
NOT ALWAYS PROVE AN UN-
MIXED BLESSING.
WIVES WHO LEFT THEIR HUSBANDS
BUT STILL DEMAND THE
POCKETBOOKS.

Three women were in the Superior
Court yesterday to insist on their demands
for money from recreant husbands. One
of them is after divorce, one is defend
ant and the other is already free, but the
men are still pursued for the means of
support.
Judge Hunt refused to grant to Mrs.
Dora Zehnder decree of alimony against
Daniel Zehnder, as it was shown that the
wife had drawn from the Savings Bank
$3.50 within two weeks.
Mrs. Zehnder wouldn't explain what
she had done with the money except that
she had paid $3.50 to her sister and had
lost some more at the races.
Mr.. Zehnder is suing for divorce on the
ground of unfaithfulness. He makes
Joseph Pisky the correspondent, and in his
complaint he says:
That since said marriage defendant has
treated plaintiff in cruel manner and in par
ticular as follows:
That on or about July 81, 1895, defendant
wrote a certain letter TO Joseph Pisky at Sacra-
mento. Cal, addressing him in enchanting
terms and expressed her i'll feeling toward him
on account of his attention TO q certain woman
(tamale woman) and said defendant, through
said letter, "sent her kisses" TO said Joseph
Pisky and signed herself as his loving "Dora,'
which letter is in the handwriting of said de-
fendant.
Tom Fitch Jr. Jared worse than did
Zehnder He was ordered by Judge Trout
to pay $50 to his divorced wife before
Monday, or in default OF payment, to go
to jail.
MIR. Fitch is the son of Orator Tom Fitch
of the oiden days, and by the order of the
court he is reminded that he is the father
of the orators two grandsons. He deserted
his wife Il few years ago, and when the
wife's petition ior divorce was granted Mr..
Fitch was ordered to pay $40 a month for
the support of the boys. He and Mrs.
Fitch have chosen new partners in mar
riage, but Mrs. Fitch's second husband
cannot support the children, and so the
alimony decree is enforced. Only $40 of
the alimony has been paid.
the explanation of Mr.. Fitch was that
although in the commission business he
has no money. On the witness-stand he
admitted that he is paying $S5 month at
fashionable boarding house on Sutter
street; that he and his wife have been
travelling in the East, and that last week
he paid So for theater tickets but he said
that he had obtained money from his Sec
ond wife.
The third case was that of Adolph
Weske. Six or seven years ago Weske
was president of big cracker company,
and he was prosperous. He sued for di-
VOTCe, charging MS wire Win cruelty ana
unfaithfulness. and Mrs. Weske filed a
crosse complaint, alleging that her husband
had been cruel. and that half of the prop
erty belonged to her. After that the hus-
band failed in business, but for time he
paid $50 month to his wife, as ordered by
the court.
Weske gave up his fight for divorce, but
Mrs. Weske has kept on with the cross
complaint. Yesterday she demanded her
alimony, and Judge Hebbard ordered the
husband to pay $50 or go to jail.

BROKEN.
"A Marvellous Change-How Future of
Gloom Was Averted-The Present
Full of JOY and Hope.
From the Herald, Helena, Mont

As rugged and hardy as one of the pines
which grow in the Rocky Mountain region is
G. f. Ticknor OF Helena, Mont. For twenty
four years he has resided III the mountain
country but his vigor is not due altogether to
the bracing air of Montana. Last fall Mr.
Ticknor was what might we'll be termed ply
slcal wreck. For eight weeks he lay on his
bed suffering from severe attack of sciatic
rheumatism in one of his hips Physicians
ana medicines gave him no relief, and the
future looked gloomy. Added to his troubles
was the anxiety concerning the care of large
family. By chance day Mr.. Ticknor saw
an account of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. He said to a Herald reporter that
he was not In favor of proprietary remedies
but in this instance something in the article
give the pills trial. In the interview with
the Herald representative the other day Mr.
Ticknor spoke in the most emphatic terms
of the marvellous change in his condition
"Before a week had gone by" he said, 81 was
able to get out of bed and move about. l had
hardly used one box of the pills. BY the time
l had taken three boxes / felt twenty years
younger. In fact was new man and have
been perfectly well ever since. / can't say too
much for Pink Pills, and never miss an op-
portunity to praise them"
When the Herald representative saw Mr.
Ticknor he was making some repairs on the
school building on Boulder avenue. He swung
his carpenters hammer with all the vigor of a
lusty young man and looked as hale and
hearty as any man of his years to be found in
the entire Rocky Mountain country He is 80
years old, and is able to do days work at his
trade of carpenter. Pink Pills can always be
found in his house. Mr.. Ticknor lives at l4I9
Boulder avenue, near the American Bis
cult Manufacturing Company's plant, where he
win be glad to see any one who wishes to verify
this account OF his experience with Dr. Viii
liams' Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also spe-
cific for troubles. peculiar TO females, such as
suppressions. irregularities and all forms OF
weakness. They build up the blood and re-
cheeks. In men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excesses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk at

be had OF all druggists. or direct by mail from

Receiving Hospital. There it was found
necessary to amputate the injured mem

jerk, throwing him between the cars. He
then made an effort to roll off the track.
