PENSIONFD A TEACHER.
First Applicant Under the School
teachers, Retiremcnt Fund.

First Applicant Under the School
teachers Retirement Fund.
The first person pensioned under the
new schoolteac hers retirement fund is
William White. He was regularly passed
yesterday by the Commissioners in charge
of the fund-Mayor Sutro, Superintendent
OF Schools Moulder and City Treasurer
Widber. Herea fter the first school pen
ture will receive $45 a month as long as he
lives. The payments date from August 1.
Mr.. White has been in the School De-
partment twenty five years and was re-
tired at his own request. During that
time he was connected with the Boys
High School, the Washington School, the
Valencia-street School and what is now
the Polytechnic School. He joined the
pension fund some time ago.
So far about one-half of the 904 teachers
in the sch DOL department have signified
their intention of joining the applicants
for pensions. After handing in their
applications 1 per cent of their salary is
deducted. The average salary paid is $50 a
month. From such salary 90 cents a
month is deducted.
The matter of paying back dues has
caused some uncertainty among the
teachers Mr.. Widber stated that some of
the teachers who recently sent notices of
Joining were willing to pay their l per cent
for past months The teachers themselves
thought it but fair that all teachers who
had sent their notices late should pay for
back dues.
A new form of warrant was submitted to
the commission. 1t contemplated doing
away with passage through the Auditors
hands. Treasurer Widber blocked its
acceptance, however, by fatty stating that
he would not pay any warrant that had
not passed through Auditor Broderlck's
hands.
The schoolteachers' retirement fund
is far from satisfying the teachers as it
stands. Efforts will be made to correct
the flaws at the next Legislature.

would place over 100000 in the general
fund. One of the main obstacles being
taken out of their path gives the officers OF
the union renewed hope of a successful
crusade.
Those interested in the problem of
whether the City can easily obtain water
enough for its wants yesterday examined
the Mitchell artesian well on Fourteenth
street, between Mission and Howard, and
were astonished at its capacity. The
present owner of the water supply stated
that he could put 100000 gallons of pure
water into the mains every twenty-four
hours and would be glad to make con-
tracts at cents per 1000 feet supplied.
He stated that the wells, two in number,
were bored in 1876, one being four and the
other six inches in diameter.
At one time the original owner had
mains extending on Guerrero, Valencia,
Mission, Howard and Folsom streets and
reaching from Eleventh to Sixteenth
street.

1888 caused the works to shut down, and

NEARLY CHOKED TO DEATH.
Unpleasant Experience of a
Patient at the Receiving
Hospital.
G. Howard Murderously Attacked
by Man Suffering From De-
lirium Tremens.

Through the lack of accommodation at
the Receiving Hospital for insane patients
murder was nearly committed at an early
hour yesterday morning.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Frank Engren, a
sailor, living at 26 Folsom street, was taken
to the hospital suffering from delirium
tremens. All the padded cells were occu-
pied, and he was put in cell with two
other patients. He was strapped down for
safety.
He managed to get loose, and between 3
and o'clock sprang upon the sleeping
body of c. Howard, 514 Folsom street, who
had been treated for lacerated wound in
the scalp during the previous afternoon
Engren, with his knees upon Howard s
breast, grasped him by the throat with
both hands and proceeded to strangle him.
Howard, after recovering from the sur
prise of the rude awakening, yelled for
help, and the din made by the mailman
combined with Howard's yells, made Stew
ard Fogarty rush to the cell. He took in
the situation and ran to the telephone and
asked Sergeant Gillen to send assistance.
Two police officers ran to the hospital,
and meantime Fogarty had entered the
cell and pluckily dragged Engren off How
ard, who was nearly strangled. When the

was quickly Gverpowered and securely
strapped to his bed.
Howard complained of pains in his chest
and throat. He was considerably under
the influence of liquor when taken to the
hospital and could. not give his name or
address, so he was registered as Bernard
o. Doherty, 55 Hubbard street. the address
found on letters in his pocket.
He did not realize where he was, and as
he looked at Engren and heard his mad
dened cries and the cries of another insane
patient in padded cell he asked in fear
and trembling:
Gam L in a madhouse? What have I
done?"
He was quickly treasured, and was re-
moved to another cell where he would rest
in peace and quietness.
This is not the first time that an affair
of that kind has happened, and it shows
the necessity of more accommodation for
insane patients at the hospital, which DIR.

George Lycurgus, man with a griev-

yesterday. Not only has he claims of his
own, but he is the representative of Amer

Lycurgus was arrested as a suspect dur

was kept in jail ffty-one days. During
that time the only hours allowed him for
exercise were four out of the twenty four
in the middle of the day. His meals con-

If there was doubt in the mind of anv
sufferer from Asthma in this CITY as to the
truth of the claims made for DR.. Schiff-
mann's Asthma Cure that doubt no longer
remains, providing he was among the
many who called at William j. Brvan's
drugstore yesterday and obtained a sam
pie package free. Although many who
availed themselves of this physicians offer
have not as yet had occasion to test the
free sample obtained, yet great number
who have already tried the same most I'M
hesltatingly declare in positive terms that
relief was immediate: that the wretched
spasms were checked; that free expectora-
ton was induced; that a reclining position
was readily assumed and gratefully main

restful and unbroken, and that the morning
brought clear head and feeling of de-
lighted thankfulness which no words are
too strong to describe 1t is not pretended
that a cure follows the use of the sample.
Asthma and it's kindred ailments are
among the most stubborn known to science.
But 1t is asserted positively, and testified
to by thousands, that consistent and per-
severant use of DR.. Schiffman's Asthma
Cure will not only produce instant relief,
but will effectually Danish the trouble.

not do exactly as claimed for it.

voirs would come into play and do the work

tinuous power.
If this could be accomplished, and many
competent persons believe it can be, not only
could the water supply be secured, but suffi-
Gent electricity be produced at least to light

heavy gas bills.
The cost of the various appliances herein in
Dictated would certainly not exceed that of the
same power produced by steam engines, and
once the plant was in place the expense of
running it would be merely nominal.
If some of our many accomplished mechani-

1t is to place along the shore of the bay
where the tide runs swiftest, as between Black
Point and Point Lobos, undershot water
wheels, so arranged as to rise and fall with the
tide, and to work the pumps connected with
them whichever way they turn, either with
the ebb or the food.
Wheels of this kind are not new invention
and could not be patented, so that no claim for
royalty need be apprehended. They were used
in Egypt centuries ago and are now in use
upon the Danube, attached to boats upon
which are mills grinding the grain of the
neighborlng farmers, and the current OF the
Danube is not so strong as the bay of San
Francisco
If boats or scows of this kind were moored at
suitable localities the necessary pumps could
be placed upon them and the water from the
bay thrown into reservoirs upon the shore at
any desired elevation.
This water then in its fall could be used to
generate electricity, and it, in its turn, would
drive the pumps of the artesian wells.
1t may be asked: Why not use the power de-
rived from the water-wheels directly upon the
artesian pumps?
Because those pumps being located at differ

REDUCED ASSESSMENTS.
Attorney-General Fitzgerald Has Rem
dered an Important Opinion
Thereon,

Attorney General Fitzgerald has rem
dered an important opinion applying to all
counties where the Board of Equalization
has reduced the assessments The opinion
IS given in answer to inquiries from Colusa,
Tehama and Solano and is addressed to
W. A. Fish, Auditor of Tehama County,
and is as follows:
Replying to your letter of the 10Th inst, ask
ing my opinion as to whether or not the assess
meAt should be reduced on mortgages under
the recent order of the State Board of Equaliza-
ton ordering that the centre assessment roll
or book for 1895 of the county of Tehama be de-
creased by 10 per centum'' from the valuation
from all property listed therein and make the
assessment conform to the true value in money
OF the property contained on said roll, except
money and solvent credits" l am of the
opinion that the reduction should be made
upon the assessed valuation Of mortgages for
these reasons: First-That they together with
all other secured debts, are for the purpose of
assessment and taxation, to be deemed and
treated as an interest in the property affected
thereby. Second = Because mortgages and
other secured debts are not solvent credits
within the meaning of subdivision of section
3617 OF Political Code. 1t therefore follow S
that as mortgages and other secured debts are
not embraced in the exception, "money and
solvent credits" contained in the order re-
ferred to their assessed valuation must be re-
duced as therein provided for.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-20

in USE might be, owing to the high price of
fuel, somewhat expensive operation. thereby
adding to the cost TO the consumer.
Is it not well, therefore, to look around for
some more economical and equally practi-
cable method
Electrical power is cheaper by far than that
OF steam, particularly in those towns adjacent
to water-power, as Sacramento and Stockton,
and many well-informed persons believe that
we have that water-power close at hand, and
point to the bay, with its swiftly flowing tides,
as the solution of the problem. Efforts have
frequently been made to utilize this tidal
power, but far without success, but that is
no reason why we should stop trying and it
may be in the end that necessity will produce
the success.
