WRIT SEEKS A MANDATE.
To Compel the Governor to Name Tw
Police Commissioners.

To Compel the Governor to Name Two
Police Commissioners.
N. s. Writ, an attorney, seeks to reopen
the question concerning the power of the
Governor to remove the Board of Police
Commissioners from Office. This question
was supposed to have been settled by the
Supreme Court in the contest between
Menzies and Gunst, but Mr. Writ has petit
toned the Supreme Court for writ of
mandate, directed against Governor Budd,
to bring about the removal of Police Com
missioners Alvord and Tobin, and the ap-
pointment by the Governor of two others
to fill the vacancies thus to be occasioned.
In his petition Mr.. Writ alleges that
William Alvord and Robert J. Tobin were
appointed as Police Commissioners April
8, 1873, by the Judges of the Fourth,
Twelfth and Fifteenth Judicial districts;
that they failed to take oath or qualify
after their appointments within the time
required by law, and did not, in fact,
qualify until MAY 5, 1885; that they held
office without title and were usurpers;
that they were appointed Police Commits
sioners by Governor Waterman July Ii,
1890, for the term of four years, and that
they qualified July IL, 1890; but after their
terms had expired they were not appointed
and the offices have been vacant since July
IL, 1894. For these reasons writ of man.
date is asked for commanding Governor
Budd "to appoint two reputable citizens
to fill the vacancy in the office now occu-
pied and unlawfully held by said Alvord

The POOR MAY EAT
ON CHRISTMAS
Salvation Army Leaders
Are Preparing a Great
Dinner.
More People Will Be Fed Here
Than at Any Previous
Holiday.
An Encouraging Report of the Social
Work of the Army for the
Past Year.

The Salvation Army of this City will
give great Christmas dinner for the
benefit of the poor and needy.
The place where the good things will be
provided for those who have not often had
the opportunity to eat good dinner dur
ing 1896 has not yet been selected, but
the leaders of the army will choose the
location in few days. 1t will be central
and commodious.
"We are meeting with good encourage
ment everywhere" said the captain in
charge yesterday, 'and people of means
are beginning to see that our work does a
great deal of good, that our charity
reaches the really needy. For this reason
we are trusted and our work encouraged.
We still need aid, however, and any who
desire to contribute may send US money,
addressing it to our headquarters, 1139
Market street."
In the past the Salvation Army have
probably done more for the poor here than
any other society, and they are am bilious
to make their dinner this year the biggest
success they have ever had. ALI the lien
tenants and their assistants are busy,
working throughout the City, asking here
and there for the mites that people can
afford.
Thousands of letters have been sent
to the army's friends and to the public at
large. The letter is typical one and
shows not only what the army intends to
do Christmas, but what it has been doing
for the year:
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 10. 1896.
Dear Friend-We beg to submit herewith a
summary OF the work accomplished by the So
cial branch of the Salvation Army for the year
ending November 80, 1896.
We also wish to outline to you our plans for
the coming year.
First-We have just started a cooperative
farm for the benefit of men discharged from
prison and for young men who have been SO
unfortunate as to fall into the hands of the
police, where they Can be sent in lieu of being
sent to Jail.
At the farm they work to support themselves
and make the place self-supporting, as the
army's idea is that every man should support
himself.
Second We are endeavoring to found a
hospital where the selfrespecting poor can
nave nrst-class medical treatment and nursing
at such rates as the working people can afford.
BY this means we know that mary will be pre-
vented from becoming chronic invalids or
paupers
Christmas dinner to poor men, women and
children, so that Christmas NAV become a dav
OF gladness to hundreds who would otherwise
be left desolate; we therefore earnestly solicit
your hel in the carrying out of these plans.
lEclosed please find a card on which you can
state to what object you want your con tri bu-
ton applied.
When collectors call please ask for their
authority and take receipt for your gift
Praylng that God will bless you and yours
according to the riches of his grace, believe
me 10 remain yours to help the hopeless
J. KEPPEL, Brigadier
JOE K. MCFEE, Social Secretary
In addition to this letter thousands of
Christmas cards like the following have
been sent to the philanthropically in
clined:

He Says He Defeated Sidney Hall for
State Senator.
John G.. Terrill has fled contest to the
election of Sidney Hall to the office OF
State Senator for the Twenty-third Sena-
torial District.
The allegations of the omplaln. are to
the effect that there were many irregulari-
ties in the receiving and canvassing OF
votes throughout the district. 1t is set
forth that the election officers and
clerks were guilty of misconduct III mark
ing ballots. so that secrecy was destroyed,
in counting Terrill's votes for Hall, in
becoming intoxicated to such an extent
that they were unable to properly perform
their duties, and in doing many other
things of like character.
According to the figures submitted by
Mr.. Terrill he ought TO be elected by 1000
plurality. Testimony in the case will be
heard by Justices of the Peace Barry and
Cook.
Another contest to Mr.. Halls right to
the seat for the Twenty-thIrd Senatorial
District is already pending, the plaintiff
In that case being NJ. J. Welch, in which
the same Justices will take testimony for
the information of the State Senate, where
The matter must be at last decided.

The Disease Gained Such a Hold
That All Remedies Were
Useless.
Dr.. Bruno Used the Antitoxic Ire at.
ment Without Avail-He Died
in Great Agony.

Bernhard F. Fisher. plum ber, who
lived at 1163 Mission street. died yesterday
morning OF lockjaw contracted in most
remarkable manner.
He was employed to do some plumbing
work in Chinatown early last week, and
while connecting some pipe that had
previously been used, scratched his right
hand slightly.
Such occurrences were nothing new to
him, and he paid little attention to the
wound. The next day the scratch was
slightly infamed. but he kept at work and
felt no particularly bad results until last
Wednesday, when his neck began TO stiffen
and his jaws to swell, ana he was COM
PEELED to remain at home.
DIR. A. E. Bruno of 1104 Market street
was called on Friday to see him, and at
once pronounced it case of tetanus,
which is the scientific name for lock jaw.
Every thing possible was done for the
terrible disease had worked thoroughly
into nls system aud he died yesterday in
terrible agony.
DIR. Bruno said last evening that it was
one OF the most remarkable cases that had
ever come under his observation.
1etanus from any cause Is an uncom-
mon disease" he continued, 'but this is
even more extraordinary.
"As usual thing, tetanus, which is al
most invariably fatal, is contracted from
wound in the foot. The germs of the
disease are found, in large majority of
instances, in the ground, and usually get
into the system by the patient stepping
on rusty nail that has been lying long in
contact with the earth. 1t is prevalent in
the East Indies, where many children
who are allowed to play about when very
young contract it.
in Fishers case, however, it came
from an INSIGNIFICANT wound in the hand
and had obtained such hold on him that
there was no remedy that would check it.
His jaws were set when first saw him.
1applied the anti-toxic treatment for tet-
anus as soon as l saw from the swellings
of his jaws that it was true case of lock-
jaw, but there was no apparent relief and
he died.
''This is the first case that has come
under my notice of man dying from
tetanus caused by so slight wound"

A Los Angeles Experts Opinion OF
the Fight.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 12.-Dr. J.
D. Kennedy, ex-presldent of the athletic
club of this city, and a gentleman of the
highest standing in this community, was
asked this afternoon what he thought of
Sharkey's claim of foul in his late fight
with Fitzsimmons, DR.. Kennedy's reply
was:
What do think of the Fitzsimmons-
Sharkey controversy? Well, l gave my
opinion a week before the contest, and
that was that the issue depended greatly
on the selection of a competent refer ee
and l have had no reason to change my
mind.
"To me il looks crooked, and think
any fair minded man VINO knows any,
thing about boxing will agree with me
that Fitzsimmons had the contest well in
hand, and was an unquestionable winner
when the cry of foul arose; and that
FitZsimmons, with the natural advantage
OF height and reach, his past ring record,
his superiority as boxer, and the fact
that he had his man going, would deIib-
erateiy ioul him as claimed is simply an
absurdity, and evidence is being produced
that proves that | am right.
II think one or two men clubs have had
their funeral, and that in the future these
contests will be controlled by responsible
organizations incorporated under State
laws You must consider the public, as
they support and encourage these exhibit
tions aud the public is tired of supporting
these contests that SAVIOR of a job"

Entertain ADMIRERS OF boxing
Next Monday Evening.
The New Occidental Club has prepared
series OF boxing contests to take place at
Woodwards Pavilion next Monday even
ing, that will attract considerable atten-
tion in local sportdom.
There are two star events-the first be-
tween Jimmy Anthony, the champion
bantam weight of Australia and Jack
Ward, of high repute in Eastern boxing
circles, and the second between Joe Cans
and Charley Rochette. Cans was brought
to this city to be matched with Dal Haw-
kins, but owing to illness of the latter the
club found it necessary to substitute Ro-
chette.
Both Cans and Wa ID are in training at
Alameda and reported to be in firstclass
condition. Rochette is in superb trim
and his hackers are confident that he will
win. Little Jimmy Anthony is being
brought into excellent fettle by old Barney
Farley, 1.-The professor"
The two star events will both be of ten
rounds dura ton. There will be ''cur-
tain-raiser" in six-round bout between
one OF Professor FarIey's pets and in
all probability Jim Brown. Tickets are
now on sale at MitchelPs and Harry Cor
belts, the prices being ST. 81 and 81 80, ac-
cording to location of seats.

issued the following address apropos of
the dinner now under preparation:
Christmas has been a day of rejoicing ever
since that all-impor,ant event when the
angels sang, "Fear not; for behold, l bring
you good tidings of great 10y, which shall be
to all people. For unto you is born this day,
in the city of David, savior, which is Christ,
the Lord"
Ever since that time, in all Christian coun-
tries, men have laid aside more or less ranks
and creeds on common platform. And those
who have been fortunate enough to secure a
COOL portion of the good things of this world
have met their less fortunate brethren and en-
deavored to make them forget for that day at
least their misfortunes.
This has been done in various countries &C
cording to their customs and accompanying
circumstances. but has always taken on more
or less the character of administering to the
material comforts of those participating.
To the children of the rich, through st.
Nicholas, Christmas means day which would
bring to them the riches and good things they
had long anticipated. On the other hand, to
the children of the poor st. Nicholas is known
