The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-05

Instead of recovering on the note the
butcher lost, and not only lost, but was
besides mulcted by the jury in $50 costs of
suit. Behind the little case is a story,
which came out in the evidence, and
which may yet lead to big suit against
DR.. Golden by the San Rafael man.
About year ago Ham sent his daughter
Katie, IL years of age, to the santa
rum to be treated for some female
trouble, and after four or five months
she was returned to her home in San
Rafael, the doctor stating, so it is said,
that she was cured. But she sickened and
died IN short time, and her father be-
heved so strongly that she had not been
properly treated that he refused to pay the
note which he said he had given when
trst assured that his daughter was cured.
Earnest of the Boulevard.
W. E. Dargie yesterday carried a sack of
coin, $5071 in all, to the office of the CITY
Treasurer, and left it on deposit as his
share of the amount which the Council
promised to contribute to carry on the
boulevard work. Mr.. Dargie puts up half
the amount necessary to finish the 1000
feet of boulevard around Lake Merritt, and
known as the first section. Work will be
commenced at once.
A Tiff in the Council.
There was little tiff in the Council
chamber last night between ex-Council-
man Dalton and G.. W. Baker, the South
ern Pacific attorney, in which the latter
came out ahead. The ordinance to compel
the Standard Oil Company to remove the
spur track from Cedar street was under
consideration for final passage and bid fair
to go through, when Mr.. Baker arose and
asked that the matter be continued for one
week. Dalton objected, but motion to
postpone action finally carried.
Ten Thousand Dollar Estate.
Grant I. Taggart and Capitalist George
S. Montgomery have filed petition for
letters of administration on the estate of
Frances A. Bell, the lady who died sud-
denly on the street while returning from
church week ago last Sunday night.
The estate consists of house and lot on
the corner of Twenty-eighth and Chestnut
streets, valued at $2700, cash in San Fran
cisco Savings Union $2641 95, and $63S8 81
in the Oakland Bank of Savings.
In the will of the deceased the estate is
divided among relatives.
Three Conventions This Week.
There will be three political conventions
held in Oakland this week. The Nom
Partisans meet tonight, the Democrats to-
morrow night and the Prohibitionists on
Thursday evening.
1t is pretty certain that the Non-Par-
tisans will indorse the candidacy of J. w.
Nelson, the Republican nominee, and con-
sequently interest only centers in the con-
vention's other nominations.
The Democracy is the unknown quantity
in this campaign. There is some talk
among Democrats of indorsing Dayie, but
there is just as strong talk among another
faction. of following the lead of the Nom
Partisans and indorsing Nelson, making
the fight straight one between Nelson
and Dayie.
The Mayor VIII Appoint.
There was an interesting meeting of the
Board of Trade yesterday. Strong resolu-
tons were adopted looking to the appoint
ment of a committee to act in unison with
the San Francisco people having in charge
the proposed San Joaquin Valley Rail-
road.
