COLLISION OF CARS.

Street Car And Locomotive Carr.
Col. j. G. Locomotive" Carr,
who for several weeks has been
limping around wearing one boot
and one slipper, on being asked by
q reporter for the LIGHT as to the
cause of his lameness promptly re-
piled: "Street car collision, run up

1t is often supposed that boys in
growing keep ahead of girls; but
recent measurements disprove this.
The boys, up to their eleventh y ear
were found to run about a quarter
to half an inch taller than the
girls. They were then overtaken
by the girls, who surpassed them
in height till their sixteenth year,
when the boys again grew faster
than the girls and came to the
front.
The largest copper smelling pro-
perty in the world is at Anaconda,
Mont. During the past eleven
years the magnitude of the plant
and its results have been steadily
increasing, till now the employees
are numbered by the thousand,
and the business aggregates over
81, 100000 a month. About 1900
tons Of ore are daily treated at the
smelters, which are in continuous
operation.
The Atlantic steamers, which
must make the voyage now in sew
en- days or under, burn from 2OO to
300 tons OF coal daily, making this
item of expense over ST, 800 every
twenty-four hours. The Umbria
burns twelve tons OF coal per hour
and on every vessel of her size the
journals and bearings OF the ma.
chinery require 1870 gallons o.
lubricating oil per day.
The Chinese send three invita-
tions to the guests that they de-
sire to see at their great repasts
The first is dispatched two days

and the third just before the hou

CITY HALL GOSSIP.

Chicago Is going for its Doodle
aldermen - San Antonio has no
boodlers to get after.
1t is about settled that nobody
makes connection with the sewers
until they are finished. The people
don't like the monopoly business.
Pay days at the city hall has be-
come lost art.
It's hard fate that will extract
tears from policeman; but such
things happen now.
There will be a little more eau
ton in future reporting candidates
for milk inspectors.
It's the person we have injured
that we dislike the most. May be
Capt. Buck Hice can extract true
comfort from this reflection.
Capt. Buck Hice seems to be q
"persona non grata" with the
statesmen about the City hall
Buck can beat the best nag they
can trot out.
The city hall martyrs are all
praying for q favorible opinion
from the attorney general.-Hurry
up Mr.. A. G. We want to get out Of
the clutches Of our Uncle.
We were 80 anxious about home
material that we forgot all about
our home workshops and home
contractors.
No wonder the home sewer con-
nection people are mad because
the mayor and city council gave
the new sewer firm a monopoly of
the connection business.
The statesmen of the city hall
have not proven to be very bril-
liant. They need to be rubbed up
occasionally.
Mr.. Robin and Mr.. Menger
should simplify the aldermanic
problem by reslgning, and il they
want to be aldermen, submit their
names to the voters of their wards.
The idea OF the smart manipu-
lators around the mayor is to stave
of the aldermanic election until
the time falls within the appoin-
tive power, then to re-appoint the
unseated members.

Is it possible that Mayor Elmen-
dorf Is winking at scheme to
withhold the election proclama-
ton to fill vacancies In the Second
and Third ward aldermanship?
The delay on the part OF the
mayor in ordering an election to
fill the vacancies on the board Of
aldermen, in the Second and Third
wards, is beginning to cause some
very unfavorable comment.

Explosion of L quor Gas

Charlie Ives, son OF Real Estate
Agent Ives, while attending to his
duties in the liquor cellar OF Casta-

though not serious injuries yester-
day. 1t seems that while some OF
the employees had been drawing
liouor and alcohol from barrels,
they left the bung open, thereby
creating a gas, and young Ives
wanting light, lit a match, when
an explosion took place, the flames

MILK AT ST. JOSEPH'S.
The COWS Were All Healthy and No
Impuity Was Found in Their
Product.

Milk Inspector ]. P. Dockery has made
thorough investigation of the sanitary
conditions at st. Joseph's Orphan Asylum
in relation to the milk fed to infants. and
came to the conclusion that no evil results
come from the milk supply.

the infants was brought to my attention. !"
said Mr.. Dockery last evening, 81 decided
at once to make thorough investigation,
/ accordingly paid visit to the asylum
Wednesday, taking with me Dr. CreeIy.
the veterinary surgeon. We examined the
premises carefully and found the COWS in
first-class condition and the place kept ex.
ceptionally neat and clean. We selected
two of the poorest looking cows and gave
them hypodermic injections of tuberculine
to determine if they were affected with
tuberculosis. | visited the place again yes
terday and found the cows in perfect
health. Were they afflicted with consump-
ton they would have been in high fever

lection was given. DR.. Greedy declared

sity of uniformity in all associations on
the subject of the distribution OF profits.
This evoked considerable discussion and
it would be unwise to pass any law in re-
lation to that matter.
Secretary Naylor gave it as his opinion
that the abolition of "premiums" by all
societies would remove the cause of COM
plant about unjust distribution of earn
ings and profits.
James L. Fields read paper on the ad-
visibility of abolishing the gross premium
system, which he declared would have to
be done sooner or later.
After the several papers had been dis
cussed the following-named officers were
elected for the ensuing term: Frank Otis,
president; Albert Meyer, first vice -presi-
dent; James l.. Fields, second vice-presi-
dent; G.. o. King, third vice-president;
Charles 3. Naylor, secretary; B. Harris,

Creighton, d. Freidenreich and H. Gill;
In answer to question by member,
Secretary Naylor stated that the league
has now forty one associations in good
standing on Its roll, and that three others
had announced an intention of withdraw
ing. The same member wished to know
if the league intended to disband. The
president stated he did not know of any
such intention, and that it is the duty OF
the league to remain in existence.

office. II feet for the seating of passengers
and 4 feet inches for platform.
The seats in the passenger-carrying part
of the car run along its sides, leaving a

has two windows and a door with win

A drop-box for letters is provided on one
side of the car. These cars resemble
the regular passenger-cars externally, with
the exception that there is platform and
hood at one end only.
The carrying of mail by the street-rail-
road lines has become matter of consid-
erable Importance in number of the
larger cities, notably in st. Louis, Boston,
Chicago, Brooklyn, and is likely to prove
particularly valuble in time of strikes. The

The cars measure twenty feet over end

remain just plain, ordinary citizen, now
a resident of Kern County, but better
known among mining men the State over
as John G. Roach of Roach's Camp, Tuol-
umne County
But this man has history, and there
are probably some very rich men in this
City who would rather not see him. He
was the original owner of the Allegheny
claim at Candelaria, and those who know
the history of that famous camp know that
the name OF the Allegheny lode was after
ward changed to the Southern Nevada.
Such men as Pat Reddy, G. L. Lawton, H.
II. Allen, Buck Minister, A. J. Rhodes and
A. M. Thatcher were, he SAYS, his immedi-
ate successors to the Alleghany claim and
the cabin that stood upon it.
An old chum of Roach's, one Howard,
owned the Chief of the Hills claim, and it
is to avenge the murder of Howard that
Roach now comes TO San Francisco. At
least, this is what he says. Howard was
cruelty murdered, he declares and several
efforts were made to poison him. He has
long tale OF woe to relate, much of it
sickness and much of it intrigue and
worse, and all of it connected with the
early history of Candelaria. Maybe some
OF it Is exaggerated maybe not. But at
any rate John @. Roach is quite a pictur-
esque character to-day and can outswear
dlHOot any O1OlhdIy lLdi liz says llt Or
ganized the Candelaria district, and this
gives him somewhat of historical halo.
He located the first claim and opened the
first barroom. In those days he had dollars
by the thousands; now be counts them by
the dozen. John Mcdonald opened the
second saloon at Candelaria. Dave Kisick
came third, and then Phil Molloy. After
that they came in scores, and two years
after Roach's barroom was opened there
were almost as many drinking places as
there were claims or cabins.
Mr.. Roach is a guest of Montgomery
Second-street Hotel. He has written
letter to Governor Budd, explaining ali
the wrongs he has suffered, and is now
waiting to see if the chief executive will
espouse his cause and set him right before
the world-which is not probable. Mr.
Roach, in truth, is q man with grievance,
but most interesting character withal.
He was not little astonIshed when he
walked about the City yesterday to see the
changes made since his last visit. There
were no trolley cars on Kearny street in 49,
he says. but Market street was about as
well paved as it is now, and Sansome
street was a much better and smoother
driveway than at present.

It's business much more eqpeditiously and
