ABANDONED ROADS.
Richmond District People Will Seek to
Forfeit Market Street Company
Franchises.


1t is the purpose OF the people of Rich
mond, through the two improvement
clubs, 20 demand of the Board of Super
visors that the Market-street company run
regular schedule on several roads in the
district long unused or take up the rails,
which now serve only to obstruct the
streets.
The particular fight will be made against
the road running from California avenue
down Seventh to the park. This line was
ago. At that time the Market-street COM
pany inaugurated once e-a-week schedule
a Car each way on Sunday.
This was kept up until six months ago,
when even this m akeshift was abandoned.
The starting of Sutro's road seems to have
inspired this action. At least such is the
prevailing idea in Richmond, where the
residents contend that their avowed friend
illness to the new electric line has
prompted Mr.. Vining to inconvenience
them as much as possible. There are
some who think-among them being T. G.
Parker-that the absolute abandonment of
the Seventh-avenue line at this time is
move on the part of the Market street
company to avoid paying taxes on
the franchise from Point Lobos avenue to
B street. Mr.. Parker says the company
did the same thing some years ago in the
matter of the Point Lobos road.
The petition requesting the Board of
Supervisors to declare the Seyenth-ayenue
franchise forfeited will be prepared the
coming week. After that the fight on the
other abandoned lines will commence.

NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
Rev. DR.. Ollie DedicateS the
First NJ. E. Church in
Honolulu.
Novato Is to Have a New Presbyte.
rian Church Organized By a
Student.

Rev. DR.. Ollie dedicated the First NJ. E.
Church in Honolulu last Sunday. The
doctor went to the islands for the purpose
of dedicating the church and taking q
needed rest. There is no possibility of
his accepting call to Honolulu.
DR.. W. S. Mathews. editor of the Cali
fornia Christian Advocate, took his leave
of the City last week to attend the General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Cleveland, Ohio. 1t is believed
that his success as editor will guarantee
his reelection for another quadrennium.
One OF the interesting questions for the
General Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church will be that of additional
blsnops. None were elected in 1892, and
some people say more bishops ought to be
elected at Cleveland.
Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E.
Church is to be held in Alameda, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, April 29 and
80 and May l. Rev. J. NJ. Weems will
preach the opening sermon on Wednesday
evening. Sister Campbell will speak on
Thursday afternoon, the 30th inst.
r. w. Reynolds, a student of the San
just been ordained into the Presbyterian
church, has been preaching to the people
of Novato during his last term in the sem
mary and was instrumental in getting
church organized there. They have
church building about half completed
which will soon be furnished and dedi-
Gated. Mr.. Reynolds expects to do evangel-
istic and missionary work in San Fran
cisco.
The General Assembly of the Presbyter-
rian church in the United States will meet
in the First Presbyterian Church, Sara
toga Springs, N. T., Thursday, May 81,

The Sacramento Valley Association of
Congregational Churches and Ministers
will hold its spring meeting with the
church in Rocklin on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, May and 6.
Present prospects of San Francisco for
securing the great international Conven-
tion of the Christian Endeavor for 1897 are
very flattering.

Deficit IN HEALTH FUNDS
The Present Administration Will
Be Several Thousands
Short.
A Dearth of Money in the Department
for the First Time in Years
Past.

The present Board of Health bids fair to
be the most expensive one that the tax
payers of San Francisco have supported
for many years past, and leaving aside all
demands for expenses, outside of salaries,
the board is sure to find a deficit of over
$4,000 staring itself in the face for the pres
ent fiscal year.
The Board Of Health is allowed $29, 900
per year to conduct its department, di-
vided as follows: Health Office salaries,
$4,000; Health office expenses, $4,000;
Health Officer, $4,000; City cemetery, 5000;
City Physician, $500; Assistant City Ply
sician, $1,000.
Auditor Broderick has already audited
bills up to April l of $24, 1885, leaving but
$5405 in the department funds, and the
April demands, amounting to $3548, are
now in his hands and awaiting his sigma
ture. Should he audit them the April
bills will eat up all but $1857 of the $29, 900
appropriated for the department. and this
small sum must carry the department
on until the new fiscal year, which be-
gins on July /.
AS the matter now stands the deficit is
sure to amount to $685. leaving aside ali
expenses outside of salaries.
Comparison with the financial records
of previous Boards of Health shows the
present board up in rather dubious light.
For years past the appropriation made by
the Board of Supervisors has been about
the same, and the health authorities have
managed to keep within it, or SO nearly so
that the difference in income and expense
has been very small.
For the fiscal year 1894-95 the board had
an appropriat ton of $29, 800, and managed
to get along with $29, ,233, leaving a sur
plus for its successors of $667. With the
advent OF the present board the economical
manner Of conducting the Health Depart
ment underwent change.
Within the past few months political
positions which entail an expense of $3.50
per month were created and other large
expenses were incurred which have ser
louslyi undermined the finances of the de-
partment. Among the latter were the bills
of Professors Hilgard and Rising of the
university for the analysis of Spring VAL
ley water during the recent investigation.
Each of these scientists charged the
board $100 for his few days work. Then
fine furniture, cabinets, desks, etc., were
added to the paraphernalia of the Office,
the bills amounting to several hundred
dollars. Bills of all kinds which were not
thought of by the previous boards were
passed without question, and the result is
a deficit that will be hard to bridge over.

A GLUT OF SILK.
No Less Than 10000 Bales Now Al
Yokohama, the Worlds Biggest
Silk Market.

Tame Matsmoto of Toxic, who is at the
Occidental, says there has been a tre-
mendous glut in the silk market in Japan
lately. Because of this there has been a
dullness in business all over the Mikado' g
realm.
''It was bright up to the time this
came," he said. "Yokohama. which is
the great silk headquarters of the world,
had at one time $4,000 bales of silk there
and couldn't get it away. That is an
enormous amount of silk The market
was glutted and nothing could be done.
Since then it has got started out little.
but not much. 1t is yet dull. l think
things Will open up soon and then it will
be more prosperous there.
Numerous new enterprises are under
way in Japan. A number of iron foun-
dries and spinning machines have lately
been put in. No, foreigners are not doing
any of this. They would not be allowed.
According to the constitution nobody bnt
the japanese themselves may engage in
such enterprises"
K. Unno, an extensive tea exporter of
Chizuoka, the great tea center of Japan. is
with Mr. Matsmoto. The Chizuoka pro-
duces two-6fths of all the tea exported.

accepted pictures is "a Landscape" and
the other IAN Italian Woman" But he
also states that his masters, Paul Laurens
and Benjamin Constant, declared them to
be pieces of excellent work. He also
showed them to Gerome, and the great
credit.
Mr.. Altman's work in the Art School
here was always considered of a high
order. The year before his departure he
received the gold medal for drawing from
life. His color work was always strong
ity that showed a thorough comprehen-
sion of the subject treated. He was al
ways a conscientious student, and to that
is undoubtedly largely due his present
great success.

Another veteran Dead.

Daniel Mcdonald, a pioneer of 1S49 and a
veteran of the War of the Rebellion, died yes
terday at his residence, 733 Minna street, after

with his father, who was then soldier in the
First Artillery, U. S. A. He was employed for
some years in the ammunition depar tment at
the Benicia barracks. Later he learned the

In the City he notes many evidences OF
improvement, and declares that the town
must be prosperous. Tue street railroad
system enlisted his admiration. and also
elected the comment that New Orleans
was now well equipped with an electric
system of street railways. Citizens of
New Orleans were just now engaged in a
great movement for municipal reform and
he was among those who were taking
deep interest in the subject.
New Orleans. he said, had a very high
regard for the abilities and character of
Mr.. Kruttschnitt and he predicted that
San Francisco and California would soon
appreciate his attainments and the value
of his citizenship.
