Clay and Commercial are supplied
with power by it. In consequence of the
accident all these places had to close down
until the repairs, which will cost $500, are
made.
AS TO how the fatal accident happened
nothing is positively known. How Borllnl
was caught in the shafting and whirled to
his death is all matter of conjecture. A.
w. Smith, printer employed by the
Raveley Printing Company, was the near
est to the young man at the time OF the ac-
cident. II was working in the composing
room, few feet away from where the shaft
is. | saw Borlini go out through the door,
and few minutes later heard the thump-
ing. ] dropped my stick and, rushing out,
saw the body whirling around with the
shaft. 1t was SO close to me when opened
the door that l had to be careful so as not
to be struck by it. When the machinery
was stopped all semblance of humanity
had been dashed out of the body.
''Borlini arrived at the usual hour yester-
day morning, and after bringing his bicycle
upstairs and doing few odds and ends he
started for his own Office. How he was
caught in the shafting is a mystery, as it
is at least eight feet up in the air, and
man with tall hat on could easily pass
under it."
E. NJ. Adams, manager of Langley's
Directory, the employer of young Bor-
lini, is inclined to lay some blame on the
Commercial Steam Power Company. II
do not understand" said he. .how the
young man was caught unless it was
through the sagging of the shaft. A wob-
bling in the shaft has been noticed for
some time back and we were afraid it
would loosen the supports from the old
brick wall and they would give away.
When the young mans weight was added
to the shaft the supports gave away ana the
flying bricks broke half dozen windows"
l. L. Borden, manager of the power COM
pany, is of the opinion that Borlini forgot
his keys and attempting to climb in
through the window his clothing caught in
the shafting.
The deceased's brother is paying teller
in the American Bank and Trust Company.
The two young men and a sister lived at
726 Valencia street. His father kept big
hotel in Virginia City during the days of
the Comstock excitement and later he
owned hotel near the Cliff House. The
elder Borlini is now travelling in Santa
Clara Valley and has been notified by tele-

Thirty of San Francisco's Most Promi-

tive and Financial Committee.
The work of the bimetallic convention
committee is proceeding in most salts
factory manner. Major Hooker, an ardent
himetallist, has rendered committee rooms
during the convention at the Occidental
Hotel free of charge. This is most con-
venient location for the purpose, as it is
in close proximity to the committee rooms
in the Mills building, and the offer has
been gladly accepted.
The Southern Pacific has granted two
third rate for the visitors, and reduced
hotel rates have also been secured.
Leagues are being organized throughout
the State preparatory to selecting dele
gates, and permanent organization will
undoubtedly be effected at the convention.
The latest work accomplished, and one
of much Importance, is the selection and
appointment of thirty prominent men to
act as the executive and financial COM
mittees of the State department of the
American Bimetallic League. This en-
larged committee comprises men of all
parties and includes many of the most in

A PERMANENT AID.
Governor Budd Has Asked the War
Department to Detail an Army
Officer to His Staff.

Department to Detail an Army
Officer to His Staff.
Governor Budd has asked the Secretary
OF War to permanently assign Captain F.
de L. Darlington of the First United States
Infantry to the staff of the commander-in-
chief of the National Guard of California
as special aid-de-camp.
The object of the Governor in making
this request is that he may have compe-
tent and experienced adviser near him to
administer over the affairs of the National
Guard. If his request be granted, Captain
Darlington will assume the duties of in
spector-general of the National Guard, and
will make thorough inspection of every
company, troop, battery and aImory in
the State.
The Governor is desirous that he should
have an experienced officer whom he could
detail to go about the State making in
spections and instructing officers. What
is most desired is to keep strict eye on
the progress made by the guard. By hav-
ing such an officer as Captain Caring
ton the Governor hopes to accomplish
much in the administration of National
Guard affairs.
Should the assignment of Captain Car
rington be made permanent. he will be
attached to the Governor s staff with head
quarters at Sacramento.
Captain Darlington and the Governor,
accompanied by Adjutant-General Bar
rett, will go to Salinas some time this
week to muster in the new cavalry troop
recently organized there.

cessfully weathered them that 1t has been
said in the forecastle that the gales ceased
blowing when she started around the wind
beaten cape. Nothing could blow her off
her course, and the perve1se spirits of air
would try to calm in hopes of worrying the
ship that was so faithful and true to her
mission. However, their labor in any case
was in vain as the stanch craft always
came in port on time.
The Blue Jacket was fast ship in her
day and one of the heavy sail-carriers of
the Yankee merchant marine. The New
England builders that possessed the knack
of shaping beauty, stability and speed into
their hulls hewed and fitted her frame, and
made her last three decades of toilsome
years.
The Pacific Mail steamer San Bias sailed
for Panama with a small passenger list
but heavy upper deckload of freight.
On the after-part of the vessel the cases
were piled high above the rail, and amid
ships were several passenger-cars, shipped
to Guatemala. The freight was slowed so
deeply on the second deck that the passages
and gangways were blocked with heavy
cases Of merchandise. The hold of the
steamer, which was reserved for through
or Panama freight, was not full.
Quite a fleet of vessels came in yester
day, and the bay is rot the exclusive place
of the seagulls, as it has been the last two
weeks. The Santiago, Wilder and Con-
suelo came in from the islands, while the
British ship Eudora arrived from Swansea,
the Garnet from Santa Rosalia and Hell
enslea from Antwerp.
During the trip of the Eudora Ludolf
Kemme, seaman, a native of Germany,
was lost overheard June %. He was out
on the bowsprit. working on the staysail,
when sudden plunge of the vessel, as
sisted by the flap of the heavy canvas,
knocked him into the sea.
A dispatch from New York to @. H. Has
well, acting agent of the Panama Railroad
in this city, states that the strike at Colon
is over and train service on the isthmus is
working smoothly.
The big log raft left the Columbia River
Sunday, and is now on its way down the
coast towed by the collier Mineola. As
heavy wind has been blowing at sea since
the unwieldy mass started it is feared it
will go to pieces as did the others. Ii no
accidents happen to delay the tow 1t will
arrive here tomorrow night.

MINER REFUSED OFFICE,
Appointment as Vaccine Off
Ger Beneath Professional
Dignity.
Rottanzi to Be PIaCed--Ed Reddy for
superintendent of the
AlmShouSe.

The little difference of opinion between
the Governor and the Board of Health,
over the failure of the Gubernatorial
favorites to secure the fat positions in the
gift of the board, has apparently been
smoothed over and the ruffied dignity OF
the chief executive soothed. 1t took many
honied words, however, and DIR. Hart was
closeted with the Governor at the Office of
the Harbor Commission for considerable
portion of the afternoon before the result
was obtained.
The most offensive action of the board
was the complete ignoring of DIR. Miner.
When DR.. Levingston retired from the
fight for Health Officer it was understood
that he did SO with the distinct under
standing that Miner, his closest friend,
was to be provided for, and his appoint
ment as Health Officer or at least as Quar-
antine Officer was expected So far, how
ever, he has received nothing. An at
tempt was made, however, to placate him
and his friends even to the extent of Great
ing an office for him.
After the Governor and DR.. Hart had
consulted for some time, DIR. Miner was
summoned to their presence. An appoint
ment as "Vaccine Officer" was rendered
him. The duties of the position were to
do the vaccinating of the poorer classes,
and the salary was to be 800, $125 or $3.50
month, although there had been no such
office previously.
DR.. Miner. however, declined the honor.
The duties of the position were such as
might be performed by any layman, and
it was beneath his professional dignity to
undertake them.
So Miner will not be placed.
DR.. Rottanzi was another who was sum-
moned to the conference in the Harbor
Commissioners office. He was the Gov
ernor's choice for police surgeon, but like
DR.. Happersburger, he failed to make
proper connections. 1t is said, however,
that he will yet be provided for and DR..
Happersbu, ger is also to be placed, though
his future official title is not yet made pub
lie.
The Governor spent the morning hours
yesterday examining gasoline engines for
a new launch he intends to build. He left
for Sacramento via Stockton at o'clock
and did not escape his prosecutors till the
Sixteenth street station in Oakland was
passed. 'Dick" Hammond, McMullen of
Fresno and 'Sam'' Weller were at the
ferry to urge the claims of Jack Hayes for
the superintendency of the Home for the
Adult Blind. Alex Patton of the Iroquois
wanted an Endorsement for the position of
secretary to the next State Committee,
and T. g. Eggert, Sconchin Maloney and
half hundred others were also in evi-
dence.
On the train the Governor was handed q
letter from Pat Reddy urging his brother
for Superintendent of the Almshouse. The
Governor approved the letter and ordered
the messenger to present it to the Board of
Health.

HENDERSON rs SULLIVAN.
Clarence Barr's Slayer Identified in
the City Prison by Casual
Uisifor

G. B. Henderson, who killed Clarence
Barr the Chinatown guide, is playing a
bold game by persisting in declaring that
he is traveller for a big shoehouse in the
East and not Con Sullivan, the notorious
bunko man. The police are perfectly sat-
isfied that he is Con Sullivan, not only
from the statements made by Mrs. John
son, but from other sources.
Yesterday afternoon a gentleman had
business in the City Prison and took look
at the prisoners. When he reached Hen
derson's cell, Henderson after glancing at
him quickly turned his back, but he was
not quick enough, as the visitor recognized
him at once as Con Sullivan.
81 don't desire to be mixed up in the
case" he said, "and therefore I don't
want my name mentioned. l had occa-
sion to meet Con Sullivan several times in
this City, and that is he, sure enough, in
the cell. l knew him at once. He used
to frequent the saloon at lis Eddy street,
and if l am not mistaken, lived at that
time in the Esmond House on Sixth
street. He is a very clever, sure-thing
man and stands high up among the gang"

A CIGAR FACTORY BURNED,
An Overturned Lamp Started
a Blaze That Nearly Cre-
ated a Panic.
The Factory Is a Total Loss and
Six Other Houses Are Con-
Siderably Damaged.

An overturned lamp in the drying-room
of Streckfuss, APPEL & Co.'S cigar factory
at 1905 Polk street caused very lively
blaze at $50 o'clock yesterday morning.
The flames spread in all directions, and
over half dozen places were damaged
before the firemen got it under control.
The cigar factory was located in a one
story frame building owned by John
Quinn. 1t was stored with tobacco leaf
and all the things necessary for making
cigars and cigarettes. The firemen worked
hard, but it was impossible to save the
building and it became a total loss. The
structure was valued at $500 and the con-
tents at $500. The insurance on the build
ing will cover the loss, but the cigar-makers
will lose heavily.
From 1905 the fire spread to 1903 on one
side and 1907 on the other. D. Frey, a.
baker, lived in the first and 1907 was un-
occupied. About $3.50 will cover the dam
age to both places. The restaurant at 1903
kept by Rosach d BoZech, was damaged
$780, and the office of the Weekly Benefit
Association OF America was gutted. The
loss will be about $780, From Polk street
the flames jumped to Mrs. Blohm's lodg-
lng-house at 1906 Sutter, and then to DR..
lhteIueIS olllCe at lZUo Sutter. Both
places were badly scorched, but a couple
of hundred dollars will repair the damage.
AT one time it looked as though the fire
was going to spread and develop into a
confagration, but Chief Sullivan's men
worked hard and Systematically and soon
got the better of the flames The losses to
the people who lived in all the houses will
be considerable, as their household furni-
ture and effects will all be more or less
damaged by the water. The little land
mark kept by Rosach & Bozech was quilted
and it will be some days before the restau-
rant is in running order again.

The Orpheum.

Last weeks performers appeared in new
acts at the Orpheum last night and in addition
the Jordan family made their debut. A net
was suspended over the body of the auditor
and the greater safely of the spectators and the
roof of the Orpheum had been converted into
a complicated system of trapezes, swings and
ladders
There are three performers in the Jordan
family, father, mother and young girl. They
are all graceful, the mother exceptionally SO,
danger, are very pretty to look at The audi
ence grew noisily enthusiastic over some of the
Jordan acts, particularly the one where the
man and woman suspended heads downward,
threw the young girl from one to the other, as
if she had been a tennis ball, and they skillful
players practicing volleying.

PROTEST AGAINST HENDERSON.
Residents Who Do Not Want Him as Git

Cemetery Superintendent.
An indignation meeting was held at
Coakley's Hall on Geary street, near Cen
tral avenue, last night to protest against
the appointment by the Board of Health
of Percy L. Henderson as superintendent
of the City Cemetery.
The meeting, which was confined to the
'Twenty-second Senatorial District, was
non-political, and was very largely at
tended by both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. James Bowlan presided, and after
stating the object of the meeting a resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted addressed
to Mayor Sutro as president of the Board
of Health. The resolution protested
against the appointment of Henderson, who
represented the district in the last Senate,
on the ground of his base treachery to the
people in voting for the scent fare bill
and voting against according terminal
facilities to the Valley Railroad.
Copies of the resolution were ordered
mailed to Mayor Sutro and the Board of
Health at once.

Many Orders for Help Filled at the Free
Labor Bureau.
The States Free Labor Bureau did a
rushing business yesterday. The number
who registered for work was as great as
upon any occasion, but the number Of
orders for help exceeded that of any pre-.
vious day. Positions were asked for fifty
two people, one-half of whom were women.
Nearly all the men were sent into the
country. In the female department there
has been a noticeable change within the
last few days. Orders are received for a
better class of women and better class Of
women are applying for work. Higher
wages are offered by the employers and
the applicants manifest disposition to
accept every fair offer made.
During the day six women accepted po-
sitions in Sam Wah's overalls factory ON
Jackson street, where the Chinese crew
went out on strike last week. The
women say they can earn from SO to $13 a
week.

Epigrams and Perversions in
"The Ideal Husband" at
the Baldwin.
A GRACEFUL TRILBY DANCE.
Tunes at the Tivoli.
.Villainy Foiled at the Grand.
Orpheum.

The author of can Ideal Husband used
to go to the first nights of his plays to see
whether the audience. succeeded. Ii he
had been at the Baldwin last night he
would have been almost satisfied with San
Francisco, for it laughed at his perverted
proverbs, at the bitter froth of his epi-
grammatic sentences which begin with the
roar of moral cannon and end with the tiZz
of an ineffective firecracker
"An Ideal Husband" is a brilliant series
of clever scenes. 1t contains nothing new
as to plot, nothing original as to charac-
ter creation, but the play of its wit is
fascinating, and what it lacks in dramatic
action it makes up in the sparkle of intel
lect, in atmosphere and in polished
worldly wisdom. 1t is picture, most
likely very truthful one, of English So
ciety. It does not caricature my Lord into a
Tweenways, neither does it idealize him
into Sir Richard Kald. He is there,
though with his faults and follies, as well
as his serious moments, which are few.
But after four acts of IAN Ideal Husband"
one is pessimistic enough to believe that
there is more realism in Lord Goring than
in either of the aristocratic gentlemen who
touched respectively the height of the
sublime and the ridiculous in tie modern
drama.
The Lyceum Company does some very
excellent acting in "An Ideal Husband.
Kelcey makes much of Lord Goring. He
contrives to make the indolent, conven-
tional young lordling quite human and
