important part of the festivities is the choosing
OF king and queen for the evening. This is
done through the medium of a large cake, in
which are hidden one black and one white
slice, and the gentleman finding the black,
and the lady finding the white one in their
portions, are king and queen respectively.
The fortunate ones this time were Laurence Van
Wrinkle and Miss Frances Curry, and they were
crowned with much ceremony. Partners for
supper were chosen by the men hanging pieces
OF ribbon over the banisters from the hall
above, the girls catching the other end. Dancing
followed supper, and was continued until long
past the usual hour for adieus to be said
Twelfth Night is becoming more in favor in
late years as medium of merry making, as
has also "An Hallow's Eve" In the Eastern
cities, both these occasions are signals for large
aside and everybody is ready for fun and jol-

CABLE-CAR ACCIDENT.
Little Blanche Lyons Narrowly Escapes
Being Crushed to Death by
McAI1ister-Street Car

Blanche Lyons, AZ years of age, the
daughter of A. J. Lyons of 919 McAllister
street. had narrow escape from being
crushed to death by cable-car last even
ing.
The little girl was riding .on bicycle on
the opposite side of the street shortly be-
fore o'clock, when her mother came out
on the porch. Blanche had apparently
started to cross the street to join her
mother and got in front of car 262.
She was knocked down and fell in front
of the car. Mrs. Lyons was frantic with
grief, as she expected to see her little
daughters mangfed corpse. The car had
showed her along for few feet before il
was stopped, and when the conductor bent
down to drag her out he found her
jammed against the fender. She was
alive and was carried into her fathers
house.
DR.. James was summoned and he found
that her right leg was broken in three
places, twice below the knee and once
above. The little finger of her right hand
was hanging by shreds and it was ampu-
tated. The broken bones of the leg were
set, and unless she has suffered internal
Injuries, which will not be known for two
Or three days yet, she will recover.
Neither the conductor nor gripman, nor
any representative of the Market-street
Cable Company, called at the house to as
certain whether the little girl was dead or
alive,

upon many Of the ten companies who
were mustered into the service since 1893.
all except one being in the interior Of the
State, and not upon such companies
whose long and faithful service entities
them to more consideration. By the pro-
visions of General Order No II OF the
twelve companies consolidated, or mus
tered out, but three of them were organ
lied during 1893, viz: Companies D and
II, Second Infantry, and Company g,
EightG Infantry, the other nine companies
dating their organization for many years
prior thereto, notably Company d, First
Infantry, organized June Is, 1861; Com
pany H, Second Artillery, August Z, 1868;
Company d, Second Artillery, May %,
1S6S-each of these companies being III talr
condition at the time.
Particularly is this feeling among the
members of the Second Brigade In this
CITY, the brigade having lost nine COM
panies since June 1, while the First Brig
ade has practically lost none and the
Third Brigade but six. These losses ap-
pear more prominent when the population
of the several brigade limits is taken into
consideration. Taking the vote OF the
State al the last election, the First Brig
ade, with fifteen companies, has one COM
pany to 4073 voters, while the Second
Brigade has twenty-five companies, being
one company to 5079 voters. Under that
ratio the Second Brigade limits should
have thirty-one companies instead or
twenty-five To illustrate: In case OF
draft being ordered, using the voting pop
ulation as basis, the limits of the Second
Brigade would be required to furnish
double the number of men called for from
the limits of the First Brigade.

The Move of the Third From
Golden Gate Avenue to
Market Street.
DISSATISFACTION ALL AROUND.
What Would Happen in the Event oi
Draft Being Required-Recent
General Orders.

The stragetic move of the three COM
panies of the former Third Regiment from
their armory on Golden Gate avenue TO
the Market-street armory will bring the
armory question to focus. The issuance
OF reglmental order No. 3, dated January
8, after the CO npanies had moved to the
Market-street armory, directs and orders
the commanding officers of these COM
panies to move all military property, ETC.,
to the Page-street armory before Febru-
ary 1, and appears to have been issued
with the view that they were located on
Golden Gate avenue at the time, although
1t was known to the acting adjutant that
these companies had moved all their mill
tary property on the 8th, day before the
order was issued.
1t is well known that the companies
commanded by Captains Cunningham and
Miller had completed their arrangements
10 move from the Page-street armory to
the Ellis-street armory, and the presump-
ton is that Captain Cunningham being
the acting adjutant of the regiment
Colonel Macdonald must have been aware
of this, both by reason of the official con-
nection OF the colonel and the acting adj
jutant and their intimacy
Captains Connolly, Fitzpatrick and War
rem claim that they moved under orders
from Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, who was
then in command of their battalion, issued
early in December, and ask that having
complied Herewith, why they should
again be required to move to the Page
street armory, and naturally ask why
they should be the only ones ordered to
move under Regimental Orders No. 8, and
that it could not have been for the purpose
OF concentration when the cOntem plated
removal of the companies commanded by
Captains Cunningham and Miller is taken
into consideration.
The entire subject will undoubtedly be
brought to the attention of the board of
location, who, to settle matter which ap-
parently must lead to interminable dis
cord, will order the concentration OF the
entire command under one roof.
While more than a month has elapsed
since 1t was decided to reduce the force
great dissatisfaction still exists, particu-
larly among the older members of the
guard, at the manner in which these con-
solldatlons were made and the apparent
discrimination against the older com
panies. Numbers of the men transfe rred
to the several companies are applying for
their discharges, declining to serve in the
companies to which they have been trans
ferred.
1t is apparent from the locality of the
companies permitted to remain in the
service that no consideration was paid to
that portion of section 1912 of the Political
Code which requires that the companies
must be located throughout the State
with reference to the military wants
thereof, means OF concentration and other
military requirements" Many, therefore,
the number of companies on account
OF the lnadequacy of the appropria-
ton. the ak should have fallen
on the younger panies, particularly

UNION LEAGUE ELECTION,
Colonel Stone Up for President
Instead of General
Dimond.
The Fight for the Secretaryship Be.
tween George H. Pippy and
John ]. Wirtner.

The merry war in the Union League
Club goes bravely on, and if, as clubmen
say, contests are good things for clubs the
habltues of the comfortable quarters in
the Palace Hotel have very good thing.
In consequence of General Dimond's de-
termination to withdraw from the candi-
dacy for dictatorship aud the presidency
against General Friedrich, the nominating
committee met again yesterday at noon TO
choo Sc substitute. They named Colonel
George Stone, called in their original
ticket and had, new set printed. Colonel
Stone, who is one of the leading lights of
the club, is understood to be the candi-
date for the presidency as against General
Friedrich of the members ticket. He is
president of the Peoples Home Savings
Bank and is interested with the McMutries
in railroad contracts on the Coast line be-
tween San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara.
'It is good thing for the club to have
these little contests" said Paris KiIburn
Yesterday. 1.-THE only man who seems to
object to it is Dan Cole over there, who
goes about saying Let's have harmony
Probably 1 would do that, too, if L were a
candidate and on all the tickets as he is."
The election which takes place on
Tuesday will probably bring out the
largest vote ever cast in the club. The
clubrooms are nearly as lively as they are
on the eve of a National election with
the memb bers who are electioneering for
their favorites.
On the principle that there cannot be
too much of a good thing there were
movements on foot last evening to put up
a couple more tickets, and they may be
posted to-day.
Next in interest to the fight between
General Friedrich and Colonel Stone for
the presidency is the contest over the
secrataryship between George Fl. Pippy,
the incumbent, and John J. Wirtner. 1t
is understood that if the Friedrich ticket
WINS Wirtner will be chosen, while Plppy
is the choice of the supporters of Colonel
Stone.

some slight alterations had been made in
the basement. When he did his anger
was great and he demanded $50 for one
months rent from the firm, as we'll as
damages to the extent of $25.
Neither being forthcoming he sued for
$85, Henry N. Clement being MS attorney.
Reuben III. Lloyd appeared for the de-
fense, and for while the legal battle
ragged as though the amount ct issue was
thousands instead of less than 500. JUS
tice Barry gave judgment for the oefense,

WILL CONNECT FORMOSA.
A Cable to Be Laid From Southern
Japan to the Captured
Island.
Engineer Mino and Others Now Here
En- Route to London to Board
the Cable.Ship.

Among the arrivals here yesterday on
the Peru were six Japanese who are bound
to London to board a ship for the purpose
of laying a cable between Kagoshima, in
Southern Japan, and the newly acquired
island of Formosa.
The ship they will board is the Okinawa,
lately built at Glasgow for the especial pur-
pose of laying the cable. 1t has the cable
aboard, besides all the requisite machinery
for laying it in the bed of the ocean.
The Japanese gentlemen alluded to are
all at the Occidental. Among them is K.
Mino. the chief engineer, and Y. Okam1,
second engineer. They told about the
cable project last night.
'"The cable will be between 500 and 600
miles in LENGTH" said Chief Engineer
Mino, land will be laid at a depth, for
most OF the way, of ABOUT three miles.
1t will cost large sum of money.
1.-The reason we want 1t Is to connect US
more closely with FOrmosa, our newly ac-
quired possession. The war is now over
there, we having conquered the Black Flag
people. We will be about three months in
completing the laying of the cable. One
