ELECTRICITY in the home means light,
heat and power always at command, and
cleanliness, comfort and convenience at all
times. The most recent inventions in the
application of electricity have been in the
direction of domestic requirements. An
essential to the use of electricity in any
form is the running of wires to whatever
point current is needed. Now, house,
whether new or old, can be wired without
disfguring the walls in any way and with
out disturbing the family.
When once the wires are in place the
matter of connection is trife. Light or
heat can be had anywhere from attic to
basement, in kitchen or parlor, in dining
room or boudoir. The mere turning of a
switch will keep the chafing-dish hot or
set the after-dinner coffee boiling on the
table. In the bedroom the curling iron
need never get cold, and all the ironing
can be done in the laundry with an iron
which carries its heat with it at all times
no waiting for the iron to get hot and no
fear of burning the linen. In the kitchen
every utensil can be heated, be it Spider"
oven, rooster, broiler, stewpan or kettle,
and in the parlor an atmospheric heater
with it's electric current will spread its
genial warmth throughout the room.
The Edison Light and Power Company,
which furnishes the City with its electric
light and the wholesale and retail sections
and motive purposes, also furnishes now
every necessity for the full equipment of
the home with electric apparatus of the
kind here referred to and in much greater
variety than there is here space to de-
scri he.

CON- V|RG|N|A'S TROUBLES,
Saturdays Meeting Reused the
Ire of Some of the
Shareholders.
What Took Place Behind the Closed
Doors Is Exposed by
One of Them.

The meeting of directors of the Consoli-
dated California and Virginia Mining
Company held Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of investigating charges made by
Edward S. Spring, large stockholder,
against Superintendent Lyman, has de-
veloped an open conflict in the board, and
the corporation will have to settle its diff
culties in court.
According to Mr.. Spring his charges
were made in letter to the president,
Charles II. Fish. They set forth that the
superintendent had needlessly expended
large sums of money in the mine and had
otherwise shown himself to be incompe-
tent. and not proper person to manage
the mine-at least in the interest of share
holders. President Fish was asked to call
a meeting of the board of directors, and
officially notified Spring last Wednesday
that a meeting had been called for that
purpose for Saturday.
The presidents reply stated that ''Mr
Lyman has requested the board to exam
inc his accounts with the brokers. who
have been authorized by him to freely ex-
hibit his accounts with them"
Meantime an effort was made by Fish
and Secretary A. W. Havens to induce
Spring to settle the matter without an in
vestigation by the directors, but Spring
refused to do so. To his surprise Spring
found the doors closed against him and
fully fifty other shareholders at the meet
ing, but at the request OF very large owner
of the mine he was admitted. Attorneys
George r. Wells, w. E. T. Deal and Ed
Tsuszky represented Lyman. Wells was
also present as director of the company.
After the complaint was read Spring
asked Fish if he had called meeting of
the board to take action on it.
81 called 10 meeing," was the answer,
"but after seeing Mr.. Zadig and Mr.. Mes
ser 1 sent copy of your letter to the SUI
perintendent."
He could not produce copy of the letter
that accompanied the charges to Lyman.
Smith next asked Lyman for an exhibit of
his stock transactions with his (Lyman's)
brokers in accordance with the statement
made in President Fish's letter. Attorney
Deal laid upon the table some documents,
stating they included Lyman's accounts
with Zadig & Co., Joseph Marks and the
Virginia City agency of the Nevada Bank,
but refused, as Lyman's counsel, TO let
them be read at the meeting. "They are
hour was spent in arguing the point with
out any result, Fish ruling repeatedly
against Spring. requests.
Spring succeeded in examining Superln-
tendent Lyman as to his management of
the mine since April 1, 1894, and ELECTED
admissions that the celebrated fire in the
mine was a myth, that he had gone
through the burned district without find
ing evidence of gas or fire and had not re-
ported the fact to the stockholders in his
sworn statement. Spring was granted
thirty days in which to produce evidence
from Virginia City and elsewhere In SUBJ
sanitation of his charges.

HIS SKULL CRUSHED IN.
Terrible Accident to Young
Charles Kane in Golden
Gate Park.
at Bicyclist's Bell and
BOlted.

Charles Kane, bright boy Is years of
age, met with an accident in Golden Gate
Park yesterday afternoon that it was
stated would in all probability prove fatal.
He and two other boys drove out to the
park yesterday. The horse belongs to his
father, who is contractor and builder
living at 2490 Market street, and has been
with the family since it was pony.
The boys took up position in the rear
of the band stand and unhitched the
horse allowing it to Craze around While
they were eating their lunch the ringing of
bell by passing bicyclist frightened the
horse and it ran away. Young Kane
jumped to his feet and rushed after the
horse, calling upon it to stop. He over
took the animal and grabbed hold of the
reins. He was unable to control the
animal and was dragged from his feet
and along the ground for considerable
distance. The horses hoofs struck him
on the head and he was picked up bleeding
and unconscious.
The ambulance was summoned and he
was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where
Drs. We'll, Thompson and Fitzgibbon
operated upon him. They found the left
side of his head crushed in, the base of his
skull fractured, and there was an ugly
wound on his forehead. They had to re-
move piece of his skull. They expressed
the opinion that he could not recover.
His mother was at the hospital and her
grief was intense. He was her oldest bow
and was unusually bright and intelligent.
He was a pupil at the Hearst Grammar
School. The family lived in San Rafael
for four years, and only removed to this
City about q month ago, as the parents
thought it would be more advantageous
for the children. The boys father is at
present up country and is not expected
home for few days yet.
