w. Lewis, property owners of the bor-
ough of Blakeiy, represented by Attor-
ney H. NJ. Hannah, yesterday afternoon
began an equity suit to restrain the Blue
Ridge Coal company from obstructing
the channel and bed of the water course
of Tinklepaugh creek.
The complainants are owners of lots
of land in Blakely and the real estate
Is occupied by them as homesteads. The
lots are adjacent to the creek in ques-
tion and from time immemorial they
and their predecessors in the ownership
|of the lands have used the waters of
the stream for watering stock and other
domestic purposes.
Bed of Stream Obstructcd.
The defendant is corporation carry
ing on the business of mining and its
breaker Is situated near the course of
the creek and some distance higher up
the stream than the dwelling houses of
the complainants The company has
allowed the culm and refuse from the
works to accumulate across the channel
Of the creek SO as to fill up and obstruct
the water course and prevent any water
from passing along the former bed of
the stream.
Above the obstruction mentioned the
defendant has made an opening from
the surface of the ground into its mines
| near the channel Of the creek and
through this opening has carried all
the water of the stream into the cham
bers of the mines. After the water has
been carried underground 1t is again
brought to the surface in pipes and is
used to wash fine particles Of culm and
coal dust from the coal which 1t is pre-
pairing for market, and It ia later car
ried out by system of pipes and sluices
to a large culm bank from which it
gradually works its way back again to
the channel Of the brook.
Channel Is Being FILLED Tp.
The quantity of coal dust carried by
the water from the defendants works
1t is alleged Is SO great that at many
points along the course of the brook
| the channel has been entirely filled up
| and the water forced upon the COM
plainants. At other points along the
stream the channel Is now being filled
up and In a short time will force the
| water altogether upon the property Of
the complainants. In case Of heavy
rains or storms 1t may result in the
total destruction Of their buildings and
homes, the complainants say.

tons. 1t II q diflcult thing to tell what
young man can be trusted. believe We
have many pure-minded and noble young
men In the world and we would have many
more and will have them when young wo-
men stop associating with any who are
known or thought to be Immoral.
The story has grown old to the physi-
clan that the young man. after making
vows OF love and effection and playing
upon girls susceptible nature has, un-
der the promise of marriage, urged her
to yield to him all that she holds sacred.
You can depend upon 1t, whenever such
is the case that the young man loses his
respect the moment the young woman
yields and many poor girl Is told that
ne cares no more for her than for any
prostitute.
Disgrace to Manhood.
Some one wishes to say that many
young women willfuly bring this on
themselves. Mayor Connell tells us that
there Is an average of PSI girls well-known
to the police on the streets each pleasant
evening. A disgrace to manhood and
womanhood! The fathers and mothers
are more or less TO blame for this state
of affairs. Know where your boys and
girls are; keep them off the street at night
argue with them; provide home amuse-
ments for them: keep them under your
own inHueCce, ana see TO IL that IL Is good
Often the young woman is told to go to
physician for relief. and I'm her misery
and distress he seeks ito add murder to
the enormity of the other crime. Let ME
say right here that no physician who is
worthy of his or her profession will i'm
plicate themselves In any such case
Many time have ! known physicians to
labor for long time to help the young
woman see 1t in the light where she will
accept the Inevitable and "go sin no
more" Could show one person here to-
night the enormity of the crime, the sor-
row sure to follow; could ! paint the
picture just as every physician sees it.
and thus save one girl from that bitter
experience, this talk will not have been
In vain.
Mothers, be true to your children; be
true to your marriage vows; be true to
yourselves. Set UP in your homes one
standard of pure living. and by exam
pie both in word and deed. lead your chill
dren to pure lives. Let womanhood be all
that 1t demands; demand of mankind AL
that word implies, and the police work of
thic city can be greatly lessened 1t Is
possible-and 1t is only possible-through
the woman exercising her purest and
noblest influence.
The meeting closed with saying the
Lords prayer in concert. The speakers
were presented with handsome bou-
quets by Mrs. Miller the pastors wife.

REASONS FOR A NEW TRIAL.
They We're Filed Yesterday in the Case
of CrszenZO Mcroln

Ihcy were FILED Yesterday In tho Case
of Crezenzo Merolo.
Reasons why new trial should be
granted to Crezenzo Merolo, who was
last Friday found guilty of murder in
the first degree, were yesterday filed
by Attorneys John T. Martin and Joseph
w. Brown.
1t is alleged in the reasons that the
court erred In refusing to continue the
case to give the defendant time TO prove
his identity and in refusing to withdra W
juror and continue the case after the
district attorney said to Merolo on
cross-examination: Come down from
there. You have committed murder
and will not be a party to your COM
mitting perjury"
1t Is further alleged that the verdict
is against the weight Of the testimony
as to the identity of the prisoner and
that the district attorney erred in his
comments to the jury on the case
comments to the jury on the case. Judge
Edwards fixed Friday, Dec. 90, at 0 a.
m., as the time for hearing arguments
on the rule for a new trial and allowed

ANOTHER BURGLARY.
Levin Bros.' Store Visited by Pro-
fesSIonaI Cracksmen,

For several months past the police have
had practical evidence OF the fact that
gang of professional cracksmen have been
operating off and on in the City.
About four months ago a safe in one of
the offices in the Odd Fellows building, on
Seventh and Market streets, was tempered
with, but the craftsmen were unsuccess-
full in opening it. On the night of July
the same thing was done with safe in a
store on Montgomery street, with a similar
result.
Early yesterday morning the cracksmen
visited the wholesale and retail grocery of
Levin Bros, 1324-26 Market street. They
climbed over the fence in the rear and
forced open the door of the store imme-
diately above, which is occupied by
vender of patent medicines. They cut
away the plastering on the wall between it
and Levin Bros office, and used a brace
and bit to make hole in the boards large
enough to enable them to pass through.
Once inside the Office they commenced
operations on the safe. They drilled
hole with a ss-inch drill straight for the
"dog" of the combination, but the drill
had apparently broken or had been too
short as a N-inch drill had been used after
a portion of the hole had been made. A
charge of powder had then been inserted
in the hole and exploded, but it was not
powerful enough to blow off the "dog."
They had made no other attempt to force
open the safe and it is thought that some
thing had happened to scare them away.
Even if they had succeeded in forcing
open the outer door of the safe they would
have faced an inside steel door which
was locked and would have given them
considerable trouble to open.
They did not appear to have taken the
trouble to enter the store, but contented
themselves with trying to open the safe in
the office which is in the rear. If they
had succeeded they would have secured
5000 for their trouble.
The case was reported at police head
quarters yesterday afternoon, and De-
tectives Bohen, Bee and Harper made an
examination of the safe and premises.
The cracksmen had left nothing behind
them to give clew.
The detectives are satisfied the men who
did the job are first-class operators, and
know all about safes, as the hole was
bored straight for the dog of the COM
bination.

OVERTURNED IN THE Bay
Henry Benches Tells of His
Experience on a Capsized
Boat.
FLoATED TOWARD THE SEA.
He Succeeded at Last In SWIM
ming Ashore a Mile Below
Lime Point.

Henry Benches. a young boatman living
at Bay and Powell streets, and who is IA
miliarly known as "Little Kenny, y had
narrow escape from drowning early yester-
day morning in the Golden Gate. Accord
ing to his story he took a passenger named
Storey in a Whitehall boat from the foot
of Powell street to Sausalito. The two
started out after the last Sausalito boat
had left San Francisco, and with the wind
in their favor reached the other side of the
bay without any mishap. Benches landed
his passenger, and about 2 O'Clock started
on his return trip under full sail. Half or
three-ouarters of an hour later, when off
Harbor View, the boat struck upon float
ing pile and capsized. In telling OF his
experience Benches said:
Before I had time to realize what had hap
pened found myself foundering in the bay.
1 quickly mounted the bottom OF the over
turned boat and waited Tor something else to
happen. 1t was too tar for me to swim ashore
You bet it was cold. As the time the tide was
on the ebb and 1 drifted out past the north
head. When got that far met the Hood tide
and the boat drifted back along the Marin
County shore. / went pretty close 10 the
shore about mile west of Lime Point, ana see
ing chance to land left the boat ana SWAN
ashore. was pretty tired with three or touT
hours in the water and my swim ashore, SO
rested for time and then started for Sausal1to,
where arrived about 10 o'clock. l was
mighty glad to get home and into dry clothes.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
overturned boat was found drifting in the
bay off Harbor View and towed ashore. 1t
was reported that the boatman had been
drowned, and his mother was almost
crazed with grief until the young man ap-
peared but little worse for his experience.
The owner OF the boat, named Coleman,
stated that the whole story told by his en-
ploye, Benches, was a fabrication of the
worst type. He declared that Benches
and the passenger reached Sausalito and
that Benches loitered about the town and
that the boat broke from its fastenings and
foated around the bay until it was picked
up off Harbor View.

stitute the board of trustees.
The question of emblem, cap and sweater
was called up, but it was decided not to
take any action until the next meeting
when others who expressed desire to join
the club will have an opportunity to offer
suggestions.
One suggestion for an emblem is two
quill pens crossed, having resting on these
wheel and the name of the club.
P. 2. Grace was chosen sergeant-at-arms.
During the afternoon the members of the
club were shown over the new cyclery by
Mr.. Trueworthy, who has built one of the
most extensive ones in the City and who
is completing arrangements to build San
Francisco bicycles.
AT the close of the meeting a vote of
thanks was rendered Mr. Trueworthy for
his courtesy, and then Captain Spalding
ordered an informal run to the Cliff.
Twenty of those present answered, and
forming into line made a splendid run
through the Park to the beach and back.
