The National School of Electricity
Granted the Use of
Room.

The City Board of Education held an
adjourned meeting last night, Directors
Davis, whitbeck, Sherburn, Crouch,
Dillman, Driver, Dolan and Huntington
being present.
Director Huntington, for the Com
mittee on Course of Study, reported in
relation to the introduction of the
teaching a systematic course of music
into the schools, that they have been
unable to arrive at a definite and salts
factory conclusion, and deemed it
proper that a final report be deferred
until after more thorough deliberation
and discussion can be had upon the
subject.
The committee suggested that the
subject be submitted TO the Principals
and Principals of the schools as a
committee and that they be requested
to meet at some stated time for full
and free discussion of the subject.

cate one and the committee eouIa find

some OF TIE CORONER'S DEMANDS.
The Supervisors Want More Light or
Them.
District Attorney Ryan Says Inquests
Should be Held Where the
Deaths Occur.

The Board of Supervisors had several
bills before them yesterday, the legality
of which they were unable to deter
mine, so District Attorney Ryan was
called in to pass upon them.
One of them was a demand made by
Undertaken Miller Of Folsom for talk
ing from the American River the body
of an unknown man.
Coroner Clark then took charge of the
body and brought it to this city, put
ting in a claim for additional expense,
in all amounting to about $50.
Mr.. Ryan said that in the first place
the Folsom undertaken should sim
ply have secured the body and then
notified the Coroner The latter should
have held, or directed the Folsom JUS
tice of the Peace to hold an inquest on
the body there and thus avoid the ex-
pense of bringing to this city.
The Coroner had several other de-
mands for bringing bodies to this city
from places far distant, and the Dis
trict Attorney said it was impossible
u tell whether or not such charges
were legal ones against the county. AS
ia the Folsom case, inquests should be
held, where possible, in the townships
where the deaths occur, but when a
body is brought to the Morgue the Cor
oner should specify the nature of the
expense incurred by him. He would be
entitled only to his actual outlay, and
unless these items are specified and all
the facts set forth, the Board of Super
visors would be in the dark in the mat
ter
The bills were laid over until Coroner
Clark could appear and explain some
Of the items.
Assessor Berkey had had a claim be-
fore the board for several months for
making the index TO last springs as
sessment roll of the county. The work
was begun the 1st of March, but on the
18th Of that month the Legislature
amended the law so as to require the
Assessor to make such indexes at his
own expense.
Assessor Berkey explained that it
was about the middleso of April before
he received legal notice of the passage
portion of the work on the 1895 assess
ment had been done. Outside of San
Francisco no County Assessor had op-
Grated under the new law, because the
forms provided for were not and could
not be supplied by the State Board Of
Eoualization. Under the circum-
stances he thought the county should
bear the expense of making the index,
as heretofore.
District Attorney Ryan believed that
MI. Berkey's demand was a legal one,
sia2smuch as a great deal Of the work
had been done before the new law was
passed. and because the State Board
OF Equalization had not been able to
The record-union., 1895-12-05

provide him with the necessary forms.
Under these conditions he recon-
mended that the claim be allowed, with
the understanding that henceforth the
Assessor must prepare such indexes at
his own expense.
WHAT CORONER CLARK SAYS.
In an interview with Coroner Clark
last evening he said the Supervisors
had always allowed similar bills since
he has been Coroner. In the case of
Samuelle, who was killed near Court
land, Mr.. Clark said it was necessary
to perform an autopsy, requiring the
bringing of the body to the Morgue. To
have taken the surgeon, the witnesses,
the prisoner, Stenographer, and the
District Attorney to where the tragedy
took place, would have entailed an ex-
pense much greater than the. bill sent
in to the Board of Supervisors. Samu
ellie was buried at the county's expense,
and because there was not a burying-
ground nearer to where he was killed
was the reason he was brought to this
city for burial
All bodies, said Mr. Clark, especi-
ally those in murder cases, are brought
to the Morgue for the purpose Of hold
ing autopsies on them and holding
inquests He said that in all other
fees the person occupying that posi-
d
to the Morgue for autopsy and inquest
purposes, while he is allowed but 50,
and certain sum for cases in the coun-
try, according to the number of miles
Travelled.
Suppose said Mr. Clark, "a man is
killed on the railroad track, or by a
trolley car, would it be proper for me to
allow the body to remain where it had
fallen until 1 could summon jury to
hold an inquest? OF course not
In regard to the bringing of the body
of the unknown man from Folsom, Mr..
Clark said he had then three letters in
his office from persons inquiring about
missing relatives, and he had the body
brought here for the purpose Of identi-
fication.
Mr.. Clark concluded by saying that it
has always been his purpose to be as
moderate in his claims as possible, but
that those now under consideration by
the Supervisors are just and should be
allowed

ZEFFERIRO DISCHARGED.
The Testimony in the Murder Case
Was Too Conf citing.

Ine testimony III the Muf0er case
Was TOO Conflicting.
The preliminary examination of Baroni
| Zefferino for the murder of Francisconi
Samuello on the Holland ranch, about a
mile and half below Courtland. on the
Sd OF last month, WAS resumed in Justice
Henry's court yesterday.
B. CALI, laborer on the ranch at the
time of the tragedy. testified that Zet1er-
inc and Luigi Maucina had a difficulty
about the distribution OF a quantity OF
beans which were to be given to the
principals III the tragedy and a number
of others by q. Call, for whom they had
worked. When he saw Zetferino and
Maucina the former WAS lying on the
ground with Maucina Oh top OF him.
That was after Samuelie was struck by
the bullet from Zefferino's revolver,
which the latter claims was intended for
Mauclna. Leiier.no was taken into
house near by after the shooting, with
blood flowing from a wound on his head.
Witness said Zef1erino and deceased
were on friendly terms and never TO his
knowledge. had they quarreled.
Benedetto Guisti testified that when
Zefferino came to the house he had re-
volver IN his hand. He saw the defend
ant the next morning and the latter's
knife in Mauclna's hand during the lat
ter's fight with Zefferino.
Giuseppe Cell testified that he heard
Zefferino and Maueina quarreling inside
the house. lie afterward saw them sp-
proach each other on the outside and
clinch. They fell, with Maucina on top.
Maucina grappled first. The witness
saw no knife during the difficulty. Zsf-
ferino at the time had a revolver in his
hand. Witness cautioned Samuelie not
TO be In close proximity 10 the lighters,
but he was confused and did noI hte
Cellrs advice. The deceased took no
hand in the fight. Zetferino did not raise
his revolver before coming In contact
with Maucina
After recess some more testimon ywas
taken, but 1t was Of such a conflicting
character that Justice Henry concluded
there was but one thing to do, and that
was to dismiss the case. Zefferino was
thereupon released.

it does not entail any expense on the de-
partment. 1t therefore recommended
that the request be granted
The report was adopted and the per-
mission was granted.
1t was decided to cover the newly
filed school yard at Thirteenth and G
streets with cinders, if they could be
procured.
The Superintendent reported that he
had Investigated the matter of renting
a additional room for the use of the
High School at Ninth and NJ streets, but
the rent asked was so large that he
and Principal Pond did not feel like rec
ommending the board to rent it.
He also reported that the janitor of
the Jefferson Primary School thought
her salary should be increased So on
to the building.
On motion of Driver. the matter was
laid over till the next meeting.
Sherburn moved that after January
1st the board discontinue the hiring of
a carpenter, as the work was pretty
well cleaned up.
Dillman asked if the employment of
the carpenter had resulted in economy
or otherwise, and Crouch said that the
expense had been less than before.
Sherburn said it was necessary to
economize if the board expected to do
any building next year, as there is very
little money. The work is at present
pretty well cleaned up.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Sherburn asked the superintendent
if he did not think that the janitors at
Twenty fourth and N and Sixteenth
and n had not too much work to do,
and the latter answered that he thought
they had.
A discussion arose on the subject of
janitors, and, on motion of Director
Huntington, the matter of defining in
the rules the duties and powers of jani-
tors, .and certain changes contem-
plated, was referred to the Committee
on Rules and Regulations, to be re-
ported on at the next regular meeting.
The gentleman who had advocated
the adoption of the system OF teaching
music thanked the board for its cour-
tesy, and heartily indorsed the refer
ence of the matter to the committee.
He hoped that if the system were
adopted. the board would pursue it per
manently and consistently to the end
The meeting of the Principals and
Vice-Principals will be held at $50
D. m. on December 18th.
The board then adjourned until l:3O
p. m. on December 20th.

NATURAL GAS.
stockton Capitalists Are Now Boring
for 1t in This City.

1
Yesterday the new company of Stock
tonians recently incorporated under the
title Of the Sacramento Natural Gas
Company commenced the work of bor-
ing for gas in this city. The company
is composed of Jerome Haas, Henry c..
Keyes, John Mccormick, ]. n. Jensen
and Thomas Quale.
The scene of operations is a spot
just south of the Y-street leyee and
near the river bank, where small
piece of ground was purchased from
Thomas Hague. These enterprising
Stockton men are using their own cap
ital and intend to reap whatever ben
eft may result from their explorations.
They are confident they will strike
a good flow of natural gas at less depth
than in Stockton, and that they will
be able to furnish the people of this city
with an abundance of heat and light
at low figures.

CHARGED WITH FELONY.
All 10y Accuses 7. j. King With At
tempting to Bribe Him.


Thomas ]. King, an ex-railroad
brakeman, is to be examined on a
charge of having attempted to bribe a
witness. He helped himself the other
day to a ten-cent matchbox in the
store of All Loy-a Chinaman who
has quite Police Court record himself
and yesterday was tried and found
guilty of petit larceny.
In the course of his testimony the
Chinaman said that King had offered
him 50 not to prosecute the charge
against him This accusation would
not have been noticed, perhaps, had
it not been corroborated by awhile man
named Ray, who said he was present
a the time.
The result was that King was locked
up on the charge mentioned and his
bail fixed at $1,000. Attempting to
bribe a witness, even 2. Chinaman, is
a felony
