We believe 1t would be 4 good idea to
have the Presiding Elders abolished in
the New Jersey Conference as they
seem TO be uselessly expensive. As
Rev. ]. B. Graw has to make many of
the appointments satisfactory because
of the incompetency Of the Elders
it might be well to have him made Bis
hop of the Conference at 5000 a year.
1t would be economy as four, almost
useless Presiding Elders, now cost S.

The appointment Of Charles +. Hen
erickson as a Lay Judge of the Court
of Errors and Appeals is an excellent
one, since Gov. Griggs has resolved to
put only lawy ers and not laymen on the
bench. Yet it has aroused opposition,
partly because of his being a Democrat
and because the other lawyers looking
with a jealous eye on his ability and
standing want him to stop practicing
law, i'll case he is confirmed.

FIRE ON FOLSOM STREET
A Hay Barn, Three Dwellings
and Two Stores Are
Destroyed.
The Origin of the Fire Is Not Known,
but Incendiarism Is Sus.
pected.

A disastrous fire entailing loss OF over
$4,000 occurred on Folsom street last
night, between Eighth and Ninth, and at
one time it looked as if the entire block
would be burned to the GROUND.
About 80 o'clock smoke was noticed is
suing from the roof of the hay barn of
Abraham Brothers, 1884 Folsom street.
An alarm was turned in from box IS, cor
ner of Ninth and Folsom, and when the
firemen arrived the flames had burst out
and it was seen that the barn was
doomed.
A brisk northerly wind was blowing and
carried the flames to 1892 Folsom, store
and dwelling occupied by William Peck
man. About this time there was loud
explosion in the haybarn, a tank of oil be-
ing exploded, and instant tly the three
story frame building, 1896 Folsom, owned
by DR.. Botsford and occupied by several
families, caught fire.
Chief Sullivan at once ordered a second
alarm to be rung IN, as 1t was feared that
owing to the inlammable nature of the
buildings in the block the whole would be
consumed. Meantime the two-story frame
building, 1880 Folsom street, owned by
James Durkin and occupied by his son,
had caught ire.
Soon after the extra engines arrived the
further spread of the flames was stopped
but all the buildings mentioned were
gutted.
Abrahams Bros loss amounted to about
$500, and Mrs. A. Boland, who owns the
building was damaged to the extent of
$500, $500 of which is covered by in
surance.
The second building to catch fire was
owned by Mrs. s. III. Peckham and was
valued at $4,000. The stock i'll the station
ery-store was estimated to be worth
$1,000 and is a total loss. The building
and stock were insured jointly for $500.
The total loss to the other damaged build
ings will amount to about $1,000, all of
which is covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is not known. but
there is a strong suspicion that it was the
work OF an incendiary. Fire Marshal
Towe will make thorough investigation.
James German and Timothy WEIGH,
laborers, refused to move ON when re-
quested to do so by the police and were
arrested and taken to the City Prison.
Charges of interfering with an officer in
the discharge of his duty and obstructing
street at a fire were made against them.
2. German, a teamster, living at 1925
Howard street, DID not move on quick
enough and policeman struck him on
the forehead with his club, inflicting a
wound which was dressed at the Receiving

PARROT BLOCK BOYCOTT.

The Building Trades to Fight tho Occu-
pants of the Big Building.
AT meeting of the Building Trades
Council last evening after q long and
heated debate a resolution was passed to
place boycott on the Parrot block and
the occupants thereof.
1t was reported at last nights meeting
that the managers of the Parrott estate
have violated their agreement with the
affiliated unions and have given Bruschke
another contract, or at least had arranged
matters so that he obtained the work of
finishing the large basement or parts of
1t, when it was argued that he should be
allowed only to finish the contracts he
had on hand at the time of the strike.
1t was proposed to again call out all
union men from the building on another
because the number of union men now
employed there would not seriously affect
the work.
a resolution was passed commencing
the Granite Stone-cutters' Union in its
stand and fight against the work on the
urant monument being performed by con-
vlcts; also denouncing the use of convict
dressed stone on all public buildings.
The following resolution upon the fund
Ing bill was passed:
WHEREAS, The Southern Pacific Railroad,
through its hired agents and soulless schemers,
Is trying to debauch Congress and escape the
payment of its just debts to this Goverrme mt
IN sum something like several hundred thou
sahq ooiiers; therefore, be 1T resolved, that we,
the building Trades Council OF San Francisco,

the monopoly and request the Representatives

power TO defeat the notorious funding bill.

mans thoughts and he sits up in bed and
relates the story of it, but such an expert
ence has happened to Robert RockwitZ
and he is able and willing to say how it
feels to have half the side of his head
opened to the outer air.
1t was probably the most remarkable
operation OF its kind ever performed in this
City. 1t was more than a trephine-it was
a chiseling out of a three-inch, horseshoe
shaped piece of bone, and seven doctors
looked on while it was done and pro-
nounced it wonderful.
Two years ego Rockwitz was employed
as shipping clerk in H. Levy & Co.'s whole
sale grocery-house on Market street. He
was well and strong then, but he was sud
denly stricken with paralysis and within
twenty-four hours was helpless. This was
on the Sd of January, 1894.
About week before the stroke Rock
WITT was struck on the back of the neck
with billiard bali. 1t hurt him for a mo-
ment but the pain passed off. Three days
before he was wrestling in friendly rivalry
with friend and he felt something snap
in his heau, a short, biting pain, but that
too passed away. Then one morning he
woke up delirious and it was seen that the
left side of his body was dead.
Thousands of dollars and months of pa
tient treatment failed to do any more
than temporarily allay the disease that
had seized hold of him, and finally it was
decided to operate upon him.
1t is well known TO surgeons that pres
sure on the brain, from whatever cause,
will bring paralysis, and if the paralysis
appears on the left side of the body it is
certain that the right side of the brain is
indented. Therefore 1t was decided to
open the patients skull and remove the
cause of the paralytic stroke.
-Four weeks ago Rockwitz was assisted
on to the operating-table in his bedroom.
Every piece of furniture, every curtain
and hanging deco ration, every picture,
every rug and every shred of carpet was
removed and the floors and walls were
scrubbed with nauseous antlseptics until
the room smelled like hospital and was
pronounced surgically clean.
DR.. Charles Brigham, who performed the
operation, had decided there was ''clot''
upon the brain. 1t might be blood, it
might be anything, but IT was pressure of
some sort. From the fact that the left
arm had just become parslyzed he was OF
the opinion that the pressure was to the
right side near the top and Just forward of
the highest part of the back of the head

! section of the brain, and so, when the pa
tient was fully under the influence of an
| anesthetic, he made ready with his chlsel
| and his mallet, his knives and his needles,
| and commenced to chip at the skull around
a long curved line that stretched from the
ear almost to the crown.
1t was a most dangerous and delicate
undertaking. For an hour the surgeon
clipped and clipped, while the assisting
doctors bent forward with interest in the
outcome of the work. Then, when the
chisel's point had penetrated to the inner
membranes the semicirce of bone was
bent back on that portion still attached,
and the pulsating flesh was disclosed just
where sac of fluid had lodged and passed
into it.
II was an hour more before the injury
was corrected, the film of bone bent back
and the shaven scalp sewed to its place,
The arteries laid bare had been closed with
catgut ligatures, and every precaution had
been taken to prevent recurrence of the
trouble.
But the success of the operation was not
known for some time. For three days the
patient lay, weak and half unconscious,
forgetful of what had happened and care
less OF what was passing; but at the end OF
that time he raised himself and put his
left hand-the hand he had not moved for
two years-to the side of his head, where
the wound panied him.
Now he can move arm and leg, where
before he was powerless. He walks with
but a slight limp, and the pains which
shoot through his arm are hailed with joy,
for he can feel and move and he is coming
from the valley of the shadow OF death.
Yesterday he was out for ride. He
went nearly to the park and retired early
last evening, for such an outing is tire
