ANOTHER electric LINE,
The Market Street Company
Begins Work on Point
LOboS Avenue.
The Company Is Believed to Have
Forfeited All Rights More Than
Two Years Ago.

The Market-street Railroad Company
created somewhat of sensation yesterday
when 1t placed a large force of men at
work on Point Lobos avenue, preparatory
to laying an electric line from First avenue
to the Cliff House. The scene of yester-
days operations was confined to the block
between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues,
and when night came that section bore a
decided resemblance to newly plowed
field.
This latest move of the Market-street
people was not unexpected by those who
have watched the progress of the Sutro
Railroad Company. There are many who
affirm that this is another Church-street
grab, the franchise of the company having
long since expired. Be that as it may, no
attempt has yet been made to check the
work, though it was strongly limited yester-
day that an injunction would be sued out
this morning by resident of the Rich
mond District.
In 1892 the Board of Supervisors granted
the Market-street cable road franchise
extending from the junction of First and
Point Lobos avenues out the last-named
thoroughfare to the Cliff House. The rail.
road was to spend at least $4,000 the first
year and complete the entire system
within three years.
Until the work of yesterday not dollar
has been spent on the road, and according
to Mr.. Little, Mayor Sutro's confidential
agent, the franchise is forfeited.

SHE NAL TREATED 4 CHILD,
Grave Charge Made Against
Mrs. Jane Coon of How
ard Street.
Society for Prevention Of Cruelty
to Children Interested In
the Case.

A case of extreme cruelty and brutality
to child, which is almost incredible in
its hideousness, was brought to the atten-
tion of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children few days ago.
Mrs. Jane Coon lives with her husband
at 927 Howard street. She has had living
with her since he was four months old a
boy named James E. Johnson, who is now
almost years of age. The boys father is
seafaring man, but the society has been
unable as yet to locate him.
Mrs. Coon had been seen repeatedly by
her neighbors grabbing the boy by the
hair of the head and kicking and striking
him with her feet and hands, and last
Thursday she was seen to belabor him on
the head and body with piece of wood.
The neighbors held an indignation meet
ing and one of them, B. Wehle, 438 Te-
hama street, was deputed to bring the
matter to the attention of the society.
General McComb and Officer Frank Hol-
brook went to the house, and when they
asked to see the boy Mrs. Coon said his
father was there and he. would not allow
any one to see his son. They expostulated
with her and asked to see the father. but
she refused.
They observed a crack in the door. and
on peering through it saw the boy, who
had the appearance of being an imbecile.
They commenced talking to him through
the crack, but Mrs. Coon quickly put an
end to it.
Yesterday Mr.. Wehle swore out war;

terity.
At o'clock promptly the polls closed
and the judges and tellers repaired to the
directors room to count the victors and
turn down the slain.
After counting for a half hour little
lunch was served and the work was re-
sumed in the presence of all those who
cared to attend.

an express wagon which was in readiness
and the burglars drove ra pidly away with
the booty. 1t was supposed that one of
them had secreted himself in the ware
house the previous night before closing
and was, therefore. able to admit his
confederates.
Barnard, King and Moore were arrested
on June by Detectives Whitaker, Sey.
mour and Coffey, and were charged with
the burglary, most of the stolen goods
being found IN their rooms. King and
Moore got five years each in San Quentin.
On June II Barnard was held to answer
on the charge OF burglary and at the same
time hs was sentenced to six months in
the County Jail for petty larceny. He ap-
pealed against this sentence and his bonds
were fixed at $500. The appeal papers were
never filed. The police were determined
to punish him, and so that there might be
no loophole for his escape his case was
taken before the Grand Jury, and on June
90 he was indicted on the additional charge
of grand larceny.

AT THE CITY PLAYH0USES,
Enthusiastic Reception Given
to Alfred Dampier's
Hamlet.
COMEDY.DRAMA AT MOROSCO's.
A Suggestion" Act That Proves
Puzzling to Orpheum
Audiences.

People seem to be just arousing to the
fact that Alfred Dampler is an actor such as
San Francisco does not by any means see
every day. The house was not so well
filed as it ought to have been for his pro-
duction of Hamlet" last night, but still
the audiences at the Alcazar are steadily
growing in size, and what the house last
night lacked in numbers was made up in
enthusiasm; indeed, at the close OF the
play scene, there was an enthusiastic cur
tain call, with cries of "Bravo, Dampierl'
on all hands.
Dampier's Hamlet is essentially a hui
man one. There is no mounting or rant
ing, scarcely as much intensity in places
as one is accustomed to in most Hamlets,
but the actor never forgets his own advice
to the players and not once does one feel that
he is trying to split the ears OF the groundlings
or is playing to the gallery for mere effect.
Dampier lays most stress on the tender loving
side of Hamlets nature. He is not so complex
nor so deep as some other great actors one
could name, but he is always human, always
possible, and his emotions can be followed
with the feelinsg more, perhaps, than with the
intellect.
In the first act he might have been accused
of a lack of intensity, put this he compensated
Tor later. In the play scene especially Dampier
worked up TO a splendid climax.
May Nannery made picturesque Ophelia,
Scott was an effective Horatio, and the rest of
the cast was on the whole well sustained by
the Daley company.

Except in the foundation. wood is the
only material used in the construction of

handsome offices are built for the use of
superintendent, receivers and clerks. In
the rear OF the offices is a large room, 20x

conductors. In the center of the building
transferable is built, which is fitted up
with the latest appliances for the easy
handling of cars.
Running the entire length Of the build
ing are six sets of tracks, capable of hold
ing sixty cars easily, though five or ten
more can be sheltered should the occasion
demand it. In the rear of the building is
a large machine or work room, 30x49 feet.
The plans for the power-house of the
new road have been submitted to Mr..
Sutro and accepted by him. Work will
begin in few days and pushed rapidly to
its completion. The power-house will be
built at the Sutro baths, just in the rear of
the system that now furnishes light and
water for the bathhouse.
The Sutro Company has until October
9 to put its first car in motion, but they
hope to have the entire system in oper-
alton by the first of Septem Der. That is
the way they talk now, and with only the
power-hous yet to be built, there is no
reason to doubt their assertion.

The couple would not allow him to eat at

they finished their meals. Then they

he would catch them in his hands and de-

At the 0rpheum.

The Orpheum audience was puzzled last
night, for the people did not know whether
they were witnessing some very clever trickery
or whether the act that excited their interest
was piece of suggestion la Trilby and

The performers that proved so puzzling were
Fraulein Ella Kennedy and Herr Hugo Lorenz.
They have come direct from Germany and
have not yet mastered all the intricacies of the
English tongue.
But the gentleman, nevertheless, succeeded
in making it perfectly clear that he intended
to blindfold the lady, and that condolences

end of the hall, snatched up watches,

thing, in fact, that was handed TO him
and the blindfolded lady called out what they
and the dates of the coins. There was no ques-
ton of confederates, unless the entire audience
was in the plot, for every suggestion offered
was complied with. even to the singing of
"Faust" and "Daisy Bell" The questions
asked by every one, after seeing the act were:
"Is it highly developed mental telepathy, or is

Part of 1t Has Been Transferred to the
Local Courts From Mendocino
Comfy.

The litigious David Jones, famous in
Mendocino County as man who is never

suit, has transferred one of his actions to
courts of this City. The case is one
against Superior Judge r. McGarvey of

recover 100000 damages for false impris-

All OF Jones' litigation has grown from
the loss of some land near Point Arena
which he mortgaged to Nils Iverson and
which was taken from him on foreclos-

his attorneys for damages because ne lost
his suit. and he sued every one who was IN
