This was only starter by night
prices were very much demorRlized.
There could notbe said to DO any "maT-
ket price," People from tho remoIost
parts of town came to market, and there
WaI almost riot about tile stands Of tho
'cut rate" dealers to get In aud buy
meat. Many OF the retail butchers sui
ferod by this, az they have fixed price,
which thOy are bound by tho laws Of
their association to maintain,
The other Wholesale butchers Of
course met tho cut. Tho present sit
uRGon grows out OF tina refusal OF the
wholesale dealers to quit selling meat TO
the grocera TO DO rotailod. When this
action was learned by tho retailers
they held q very stormy meBting. The
only business Of importance was the
boycott placed against I. Soheuk 4

tho Retail GrocerI' Association. They
were also expelled from membership 10
the association. Mr.. q. II. MediCk was
husd S. for selling lard below the price
set by tho retail butchers.
In spite OF this action, many retail
butchers do buy from tho wholesalers,
as thoy always did. Tho association
cast about for aom0 way in which they
could have meat slaughtered or kill aud
dress their own meats. It was ordered
that the slaughter houses Of ueas, Lem-

gnhl, OF the Eighth ward. and W. EhnIr
OF Bridgeport, DO used for this purpose.
Ii was predicted Saturday that early
this week meat would be selling At
about half the price it did "bsiore the
war" The public looks with 4 good
deal OF complacency on a contest which
bringa about such results.
The retail butchers, fearing tho effect
the dispute would have, decided to
abandon their big picnic. A private
picnic Tor the members only will be
given, however, aud committee has
been appointed TO make arrangements
for this.

SEVERE ON THE BLOOMER,
A Protest Alleged to Come
From the Y. M. c. A.
Secretary.
But Mr.. Mccoy is Out of Town and
His Secretary Says 1t Is
Hoax.

Robert S. Boynes, cashier of the Young
Mems Christian Association, spoiled a
story yesterday which would no doubt
have created rafting sensation among
riders of the swift and silent bicycle, espe-
cially lady riders There was filed with
the clerk of the Board of Supervisors YES
terday the following communication type
written on sheet of yellow paper:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of the
City and County Of San Francisco We, the un-
dersigned, citizens of the City and County.
pray to the honorable Board of Supervisors to
enact and enforce that it is unlawful for ladies
to wear boomers, knickerbockers any attire
unbecoming the fair sex. We consider the
above wearing apparel. and we believe that all
good Christians will uphold US in our theory
as perpetual menace of the good morals of our
City. We have consulted eminent physicians
and they all agree that it is unhealthy for la
dies to ride bicvcles. Furthermore, we have
great compassion for the fair sex. Hoping our
prayer will be received and special attention
be given by your honorable body, your obedi-
ent servants. Y. NJ. C. A.
81. J. Mccoy, General Secretary.
The wording of the communication in
which Mr.. Mccoy declares his compassion
for young ladies and the fact that it did
not carry a Y. M. G.. A. letter-head created
some suspicion among the newspaper men
as to its genuineness, and an inquiry was
made by telephone at the Y. M. G. A.
rooms regarding it, and the answer came
back that Mr.. Mccoy was out of town and
the letter certainly did not emanate from
him. A few minutes later Mr.. Boynes
put in a rather excited appearance at the
City Hall and begged to be shown the
paper. Then he wrote the following,
which practically kills what threatened
to be a formidable crusade against the
boomer:
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1, 1895.
The Honorable Board Of Supervisors: Having
received word that mmunication had been
sent to the Board of Supervisors from H. ].
Mccoy, the general secretary of the Young
Mems Christian Association, protesting
against the wearing OF bloomers by ladies, and
having examined said communication
hereby pronounce said communication fraud.
Mr.. Mccoy is now in the East and has been for
five weeks, and the signature to the commu.
nication is forgery.

A MURDEROUS RECORD.

johnson, the Counterfeiter, Notorious
and BloOdthirsty Fiend.
Andrew Johnson, who was arrested in
Bloomfield, Sonoma County, Friday, and
brought to this City yesterday in the Gus
tody OF a United States Marshal to answer
the charge of passing counterfeit money,
was tried in Santa Rosa eight years ago
for the most tiendish murder ever COM
mitted in that county. The case was also
very sensational from the fact that Con-
gresham Thomas J. Gearv figured as the
principal attorney for the defense and that
the charge of iury-bribing was openly
made on the streets after the verdict was
announced. One man held out for &C.
quittal twenty -four hours and finally COM
promised on manslaughter.
Johnson's victim was William Boyd.
They, with two or three others, had been
drinking all night at tavern near BOdega
bay kept by man named Cunningham.
During the course of their bacchanalia an
alteration arose between Boyd and John
son, ana the former, who was magnani-
nous, forbore doing bodily harm to John
son when he had the opportunity. But
Johnson did not appreciate the generous
treatment he had received at the hands OF
ms drinking companion, and before day
light he walked to his home, a mile or so
away, and got his rifle. Going back to the
Inn, he took up his position behind an old
chicken-house overlooking the barnyard,
where Boyd would have to take his horses

inns chlcken-house was about thirty
yards from the corral, and Johnson waited
with deliberate and fendish patience
until his imagined enemy should appear.
AS Boyd neared the watering trough he
saw Johnson with the rifle leveled on him,

The landlords son, II years OF age, was
an eyewitness of the bloodthirsty deed,
and the testimony of the murderer
father, who saw him when he went into
the house for the rifle, was conclusive and
corroborative. But the juryman saved

TO PAVE VAN NESS AVENUE,
A Very Weighty Petition in
Behalf of the Big Thor
Oughfare.
YearS-Room on the Tax Levy
Asked For.

The old and vexed question of paving
Van Ness avenue has been presented to the
Board of Supervisors in a new form. A
number of propertyowners have sub
mitted petition charging the City with
having failed to perform its obligations to
the great thoroughfare for several years,
and asking that provision be made in the
next tax levy to pave it with bitumen
from Pacific street to Hayes. The petition
reads:
The undersigned owners of property on Van
Ness avenue respectfully request that your
honorable board appropriate sufficient sum
during the next fiscal year TO bituminiZe the
roadway OF Van Ness avenue on all of the ac-
cepted blocks between Pacific avenue and
Hayes street. In making this request the I'M
dersigned respectfully call attention of your
honorable board to the following facts
F1rst-That said avenue was graded and
macadamized at q very heavy expense to the
property-owners, owing to the unusual width
OF said avenue
erty-owners that it would keep said roadway
well macadamized and sprinkled daily during
the dry season at its expense; but with the
exception of the past two months no sprinkling
has been done for number of years, and the
roadway is in a most deplorable condition.
Third-That Van Ness avenue is the widest
residence street in the City, and with proper
care on the part of the City there is little doubt
but that it can be made most popular boule-
ward, forming as it does connection between
Lombard street and Golden Gate avenue, the
main driveways to the Presidio and Golden
Gate Park.
Fourth-That it is the natural channel
through which all travel from the Western
Addition reaches Market street, land that a
smooth roadway thereon is universally de-
manded, not only by property-owners along the
line of said avenue, but by all residents in the
Western Addition, especially the wheelmen and
those who enjoy the use of equipages.
Your petitioners most respectfully request
your honorable board to give this matter your
most earnest and serious consideration, and
desire permission to address either your
honorable board or the members of the Street
Committee upon the subject.
The petition is signed by the following
welEknown names: John T. Merrill,

Sloss, Marguerite F. Newhall (by George

AFTER RELIABLE WIND.
The Speed of Storms Will Hereafter
Be Registered at the Far

Hereafter people may know exactly how
hard the winds blow in this region, where
they are not checked, scattered or mixed
up by hills and mountains. AS things
have been the speed of the wind as recorded
by all the thermometers of the weather SER
vice has not often been its speed out where
it was free to blow. For instance when
the wind blows at sixty miles an hour at
Point Lobos it may be going at any rate
from twenty to forty miles in the City and
from many directions the wind at Point
Lobos is checked by hills.
Out on the sea is where the winds show
their natural speed. and hereafter the
Weather Bureau will know the winds at
their best.
Forecast Official Harmon has extended
the service to the Farallones to the ex-
tent of putting up strong thermometer
on the rocks out there and getting the
ighthouse-keeper to look at it regularly.
He will send in his reports every few days
by the hghthouse-tender or with loads of
fish or seagull eggs, and the northerly
winds will be reliably measured. When
the cable gets to the islands there will
naturally be regular weather station
there. Point Reyes gives singular illus
tration of how an interfering elevation
may make the wind blow faster.
When a northwest wind strikes the
promontory of Point Reyes and the
inward sweep of shore northward the wind
| fills up the bend, and as the hills are sew
eral hundred feet high it is squeezed
around the point, where it pours like
| water forced past rock. The Point Reyes
| wind-gauge is right there, and when it gets
up to ninety miles an hour the wind may
be but seventy-five a mile or two at sea.
Day before yesterday the thermometer
there registered the highest wind recorded
on the coast. 1t got up to 12U miles an
hour during brief hurricane and it might
have done still better if in condition, but
it went to pieces and was strewn on the
| beach.

SALE OF CLIFTON'S HORSES
Talbot Could Not Leave Jolly Coach
ing Party to Attend 1t and 1t
Was POStponed.

was POSGpOneO
The sale of J. Talbot Clifton's horses ad-
vertised to take place yesterday morning
d id not come off, for Mr.. Clifton did not
put in an appearance and Killip 81 Co. had
no instructions on which to go ahead. A
large number of people had gathered at
the saleyard at the corner of Van Ness
avenue and Market street at II O'Clock, the
hour the sale was advertised for. Among
them were number of horsemen and
quite contingent of Burlingame people,
but the owner did not put in an appear
ance. Finally the sale was begun with
some of the coach horses. for which very
small prices were realized. and still Mr..
Clifton was not on nanu 10 give the auc-
tioneers any instructions.
Kill1p & Co. telephoned to Burlingame,
and found that on Friday he had started
off on a coaching trip to Halfmoon Bay.
He was finally located by telegraph, and
said that he would be at the yard at
o'clock; but Killip & Co. knew that no
ordinary crowd of San Francisco horse
buyers would wait six hours, and so the
sale was put off.
The horses to be sold are good animals,
and include: Senator L., who holds the
two-mile trotting record of the coast; The
Senator, with a record of 2:29; Crown
Prince, ply, and other harness horses, and
several thoroughbreds, besides eight coach
horses which were driven to the Meteor
from the Palace to Burlingame early in
the season. These horses all cost Mr..
Clifton great deal of money, but what is
that to a coaching trip to Halfmoon Bay
in such weather as this?
