The Senator's Widow Not in Accord

Regime.

In the election for officers of the South

Thursday, Mrs. Stanford, the widow OF
Senator Stanford, took special pains to be
placed on record as being opposed to the
regime Of c. P. Huntington.
1t was given out at the railroad offices on
Marketand Montgomery streets, where the
election was held. that all the proceedings
had been of most harmonious character
ana that no opposition of any kind had
developed. But it has since been learned
that just the contrary was true.
Shortly after the arrival of General
Thomas II. Hubbard from the East he
had conference with Mrs Stanford and
that lady asked him to become candi.

facitc Company, but despite the tempta.
ton thus held out the general declined to
stand.
But not discouraged by her failure to
secure an ally In the representative of the
Searles interests, Mrs. Stanford instructed
her representatives, Russell J. Wilson and
Charles Lathrop, TO vote for General Hub
bard. Influence had also, apparently
been used on the Crocker interests but as
events showed, only with partial success.

refralned from voting. Had the Crocker
Searles and Stanford interests stood To-
gether the regime OF Huntington would
have come to an end.
This was the first time since he was
elected to the presidency, SIX years ago,
that there has been open opposition to the
reelection OF q. 7. Huntington.

Stanley Lytton, an employe of Paul Sci

narrow escape from death yesterday.
ABOUT o'clock he was engaged in the
California Wire Works, Bay and Mason
streets liking up electric lights. He was
WORKING on ladder, close to a revolving
smart, which was about two feet from the
celnhg and twenty feet from the floor,
when his clothes got caught in the shaft
ana he was whirled round and round, his
oody striking against the ceiling at each
revolution.
MS clothes were torn almost in shreds
anu IN desperation. to save himself from
pelhg dashed to the ground, he clung to
the sha1t with his left arm, which had
Deen broken. The friction on his hand
from the revolving shaft was causing him
great pain, and he had just made up his
nina to let go when the engine was
stopped. His yells for help had attracted
the attention of the employees in the works
ana they had run and notified the en-
gineer.
Lytton was released from his perilous
Posltlon and was hurried to the Receiving

SAN FRANCISCO, April IL, 1896
Gentlemen: The Merchants Association bids
your newly organized board greeting to the
pubiic-spirited work of securing improved

The board OF directors desires, Furthermore. to
extend a cordial invitation to the members of
your board to avail yourselves of all the privi-
leges OF this association, including the use of

One of the cardinal principles of the Mer-
chants Association is the improvement OF the
highways of San Francisco. Correct drainage
clean streets, noiseleSs pavements, adequate
illumination and beautiful boulevards are
among the most potent factors of municipal
progress. No city on earth has ever attained a
high degree OF permanent prosperity without
these fundamental requisites.
1t is most gratifying to witness the recent
awakening OF the citizens of San Francisco to
the vital significance OF these questions in the
present and future welfare of our City 1t re-

STREET PAVEMENTS.
New Kind That Is Meeting With
Marked Approval.

The problem of street paving is one that
every city, both great and small, through
out the civilized world has wrestled with
at one time or another. 1t is a question
that concerns San Francisco deeply at this
time, for this City has some of the worst
paved streets in the country and none that
are entirely satisfactory. This important
subject has recently received much atten-
ton from the State Board of Harbor
Commissioners and with apparently salts
factory results.
About two years since they allowed the
Williams Asphaltum Block Paving Com
pany to lay a sample of their work on the
seawall in front of pier No. 6, Howard
street, which proved so satisfactory that
the board has since ordered several pieces
laid at other points on the seawall. and
recently at the entrance to the ferry land
ing at the foot of Market street, as SUBJ
stitute for the bituminous rock. which had
failed to give satisfaction. The Williams
Company in that instance furnished 8
satisfactory guarantee that their work
should be kept in good condition for a
term of five years, despite the immense
amount Of heavy teaming destined 10 pass
over it.
The new Pacifc-street wharf 50x600 feet,
which is vastly superior to any other
wharf structure ever erected on the water
front, has just been paved by the Williams
Block Company under guarantee to be
kept in repair for the term of five years
free of charge to the State. Such evidences
of merit have induced several of the City
officials to thoroughly examine this style
OF pavement.
The great claim advanced by the Will
hams Block Company is that they possess
skill in the manipulation of their aspnal-
tum, which enables them to produce re-
suits as much superior to the old style of
work as steel is better than the iron from
which it is produced. The surface-cover-
ing for their pavement is almost like sheet
lead. 1t dints slightly, but does not
abrase, and in that consists its superiority
and great wearing qualities
