Stunning the two leading character parts,
ably assistad by Jim Quinn, who was seen
to advantage as the heavy man. The usual
corps of auxiliaries were seen in the cast,
comprising bookmakers, touts, citizens,
hot sausage vendors and guardians of the
peace. After somewhat heated argu-
ment between the two first-named actors,
everything was to all appearances amicably
arranged, when. with a blood-curdling yell,
the heavy man leaped from the third story
of bookmaker's stand and with appraised
pistol attempted the time-worn chestnut of
breaking walnut on the head OF actor
Ryan. At this Mr.. Ryan became enraged
and was about to turn and disfgure the
countenance of the gentlemen from the
blue grass region, when bystanders closed
in, and some one yelling 'cop," the cur
tain was rung down on the act. Both gen.
tlemen were seen at their hotels last even
ing, and the play has likely seen its last
production.

MILLIONAIRE HITCHCOCK,
One of the Noted California Pho.
neers Near Death in
This City.
He Invested His Profits in Many Great
Ranches, and in Bank and
Railroad Stocks.

Hollis Hitchcock one of the best-known
and wealthiest pioneers of California, is
living near death at DR.. L. c. Lanes hos
pital, corner of Clay and Webster streets,
in this City.
1t was thought last night that he would
not live till morning.
Mr. Hitchcock s disease is kidney trouble
combined with muscular rheumatism.
He is now rs years old. His nephew, Ben.
F. Hitchcock of Salinas, who is at tie
Russ House, has been carefully tending
the old gentleman during the past few
days.
Hitchcock the elder came to California
from Eastern Canada in 1852. He soon
became successful man of affairs. He
began buying and driving beef cattle to
various gold camps. There was big de-
mand for beef'a high prices in those days,
and Mr.. Hitchcock made a great deal of
money.
As fast as the money was made he in
vested in other things, but principally in
land. He HAD penchant for buying fine
farms, and some of the best in the State
are now his property.
He owns some of the most valuable prop
erty in Monterey County. He also became
possessor of the old Sam Potter ranch, and
also of the Watson ranch, in Sonoma
County.
Besides these he purchased large areas
of land in Solano and other counties. He
owns also at the present time 5000 acres on
Grizzly Island, in the Sacramento River.
He also is the possessor of land elsewhere.
But these are only few of the frugal old
pioneers possessions. He owns stock in
no less than five banks, and is said to have
500, 900 worth OF stock in the San Francisco
and North Pacific Railroad.
He kept up his cattle-buying for many
years, while investing in various enter
prlses. He also entered extensively into
the business of raising cattle. He owned
three or four cattle ranches in Sonoma,
others in Sacramento and yet others else
where in California.
Years ago he bought lands in Fresno.
In general he has bought land and has had
advantage of heavy increase in values.
Even at the present low prices of real
estate Mr.. Hitchcock is believed to be
easily worth 81. 000,00 He has property
scattered everywhere and those who know
him best do not know all he has.
Mr.. Hitchcock never married. For some
years he has resided at Healdsburg, but he
lived periodically for a short time at or
near his ranches in the several counties.
In this City he has for many years lived at
the Russ House.
He is widely known, especially among
the old Californians.

LABOR IN THE PARK.
The Eight-Hour Law Said to BE Fio-
lated in the Peoples Pleasure
Ground-Carpenters Debate.

The annual meeting Of the Carpenters
and Joiners' Union No. 90 was held last
evening at Odd Fellows Hall, but reports
for the past year were reserved until the
union convenes again. The union was or
eanized June %, 1882, and with periods OF
reyerses and successes has continued IN
existence until at last nights meeting its
mem bership was 760 out of total OF l500
nnion carpenters in San Francisco.
1t was reported that the eight-hour law
had been violated in Golden Gate Park
The union sought to secure employment
for one of its members in the park on
buildings in course of construction near
the new music concourse and accidentally
learned that mechanics and laborers IN
the peoples pleasure ground were work
ing nine hours day in violation OF the
State law The Labor Commissioners was
notified yesterday and he promised to in
yestigate the complaint
A debate was commenced last night be-
fore the large number of union carpenters
who attended the meeting. G. +. Stradd,

member OF union 4S3, took the negative,

that thought Semper Lex had struck easy

Walter j, stood for Jonah. His owners
thought him ''lead pipe" yesterday, and
he finished in the ruck.
Wildidle, the noted race horse and sire
died at Naylee Burke's place at San Jose
on Thursday night of rheumatism. He
was handsome bay horse. standing six
teen hands high, with white star in fore
head and one white hind foot.
His sire was imp. Australian and his
ington, once queen of the American turf
Foaled in 1870 at the breeding establish
ment Of K. A. Alexander, near Lexington,
KY, the great horse was consequently %
years old at the time of his death. During
his career on the turf he won at all dis
tances from one mile up to four miles, de-
feating the best horses of the East and
West, and in 1875 at the Bay District
track added the Wise plate to his credit,
running four miles in 7:251s. In the stud
he was great success. Among the most
noted of his get were Flam beau, Jim
Douglas, Sinfax, Filtration, Nomad, Wild
wood, May D, Ella Doane, Nielsen and
Alfaretta. He was purchased some months
ago by Mr.. Burke, who is we'll known as

JOE JOHNSON IS CAUGHT,
Sent Lottery Tickets Through
the Mails to a Postal
Inspector.
If He Says the Tickets We're Coun
terfeits Another Charge Will
Confront Him.

Joe Johnson is again in the tolls. Some
time ago he was arrested by the police for
counterfeiting lottery tickets and selling
his goods" He then gave the name OF
Thomas Epson, and was arrested and SER
fenced to six months Imprisonment and
to pay fine of several hundred dollars.
He took an appeal, and while enjoying his
liberty on $4,000 bail was up to his old
hauuts and tricks.
Last night johnson was arrested by
Postal Inspector Erwin and Deputy
United States Marshal Moncton for un-
lawfully using the mails i'll his questiona-
BILE lottery business. They had learned
that he was TO be at the Orpheum to keep
an appointment he had made with a
woman with whom he was living at I27
Fourth street. Just as the programme was
about to begin Johnson put in an appear
ance. He was lodged in the Broadway
Jail in default of the $500 bail which had
already been fixed by United States Com
missioner Heacock.
first began to decoy Johnson into such acts
as would show that he did not scruple at
using the mails i'll violation of the postal
laws. On October 20 Mr.. Erwin wrote a
letter to Johnson asking him what figures
he would sell Honduras lottery tickets for
Mr.. Erwin pretended to be one II.
Schwartz" a cigar-dealer of "Reno, Ne
vada," and used for his letterhead rubber
stamp purporting to be the business
imprint of Mr.. Schwartz.
Evidently Johnson, whose place of bust
ness was then at ALI Kearny street, thought
he had good customer and that
ssSchwartz" would prove profitable
retailer OF his lottery tickets. He replied
he could let his correspondent have Hon.
duras tickets at 20 cents on the dollar,
which is said to be ewice the discount the
regular dealers themselves enjoy. Mr..
