three lines of division of opinion
among the people, there are certain in
consistencies and conflicts in GER
tain sections of the charter that need
to be removed and that must be, in
order to harmonic the instrument and
secure the desired end of economic and
discreet municipal government. But
these amendments in most part will
consist Of but a change here and there
Of a single word or line.
The sense of the committee was that
the amendments should be just as few
in number as possible, and the lawyers
present expressed the opinion that it
would not be necessary to overhaul
the whole charter and rip 1t up" so
to speak, but that general addendum
clauses providing for the interpreta-
ton of the charter as in the first plan
outlined, or the second, or the third,
would answer all the purposes in view,
while the inconsistencies and conflicts
may be disposed of in much the same
way or by direct amendment and new
propositions be presented as new sec
tions.
This expression gave the committee
great satisfaction and resulted in the
adoption, after a good deal of debate
and suggestion and amendment, of
motion that a committee of seven be
constituted by appointment of the
Chair, to formulate the three PROPOSE
tions and suggest the incidental amend
ments and thermometers" and that
such committee should report to the
Committee Of the Board so soon as it
is ready. The latter committee will
then consider the report and make it's
report thereon to the full Board Of
Trustees, which will in turn consider
the propositions, and they may then be
submitted to the people, SO that any
proposed amendments accepted by the
people by a three-fifths vote may be
submitted to the Legislature by, say,
the 1st of February.
Prior to adjournment the meeting
was addressed by Trustee Pennish, who
set forth his views as to conflicts and
what should be done to remove them
Incidentally also the question was dis
cussed as to the compensation of Trus-
tees under either of the three PROPOSE
tions set forth above, the generally ex-
pressed opinion being that under one
plan the compensation should be much
luCTedSeu, Willie dlOlHeI 1t I0lSH
not be necessary, the duties being great
in one and few under the other plan.
The Chair appointed as the commit
tee ordered, r. 7. Devlin, c. L. White,
H. Weinstock, William Schaw, T. B.
Hall, ]. 0. Coleman and j. A. Woodson.
Mr.. Devlin and Mr.. White were then
agreed upon as a subcommittee to
prepare the general provisions which
it is believed may briefly and effective
ly effect the main amendments to be
presented on the three lines stated,
While the other members are to con-
slider and submit incidental amend
mentS.
The committee will meet next Thurs
day evening and compare notes. At
such meeting all the Trustees are in
vited to be present. In the meantime
suggestions from citizens at large sent
to Chairman Devlin in writing will
have careful consideration.

SURGEON HAMILTON.
May Resign if 1t is Insisted That He
Shall Go to San Francisco.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Secretary Car
Isle has wired DR.. Hamilton, surgeon
of the Marine Hospital, that he will not
intervene in the order of transfer ex-
changing Dr. Hamilton with DR.. John
Godfrey of San Francisco.
The order for the transfer named to-
day as the time for leaving Chicago.
Some of DIR. Hamilton's friends say they
would not be surprised if he should re-
sign. His salary with emoluments in
Chicago amounts to 81 800. His
salaries as editor of the American
Medical Journal and professor of the
Rush Medical College exceed that sum,
while in addition he has an income from
private practice.
DR.. Hamilton resigned the Surgeon
Generalship of the Marine Hospital to
accept the Chicago post in connection
with the editorship of the Medical
Journal"

Frank T. Dwyer, local Consul for the
League Of American Wheelmen, has re-
ceived from T. H. Goodman, General
Passenger Agent of the Southern Pa

In reply to your letter Of inquiry OF

Agent to give notice by circular to those
concerned that the carriage of bicycles
between San Francisco and Suisun IS to

Ed. Kinney, Alias McCarty, Con
ViCted of BURGLARY.

1t took the jury in the case of burglar
Ed. Kinney, alias Frank McCarty, just
ten minutes yesterday to decide that he
was guilty.
Kinney's attorney, S. Luke Howe, en-
deavored to convince the jury that the
defendant was mon compuS mentiS,
and presented a certificate to the effect
that a person of that name had once
been an inmate of a New York asylum.
But the defendant had given his name
as McCarty, and the jury evidently did
not take it for granted that he is the Ed.
Mckinney mentioned in the certificate.
There are several prior convictions
standing against the curly-headed
youth, proof of which was adduced in

HE'S ALL RIGHT.
A Salvation Army Recruit Who is
for Sound Money,

Major Mcintyre of the Salvation Army
came up from San Francisco last even
ing to swear in a number OF new recruits
and transact other business for the local
corps.
He was met at the depot and escorted
to the Citadel on Seventh street by the
full corps and brass band. There was
quite a good-sized audience there to wit
ness the proceedings.
Before swearing in the recruits Major
Mcintyre made a spirited appeal to his
hearers to embrace religion and follow
in the footsteps of the Savior, whose
blood had washed away the sins of mil
lions and would cleanse the hearts and
souls of all that sought it's magic power
He held that religion is profitable as
we'll in worldly affairs as in spiritual
The man of good morals and who lived
in the love of God can get employment
easier than the shiftless, improvident
sinner 1t pays, because the man who
renounces the follies of the sinful world
saves money every hour in the day that
would otherwise be foolishly thrown
away.
When the Major said it pays to love
God-that a dollar given to God here
Will be repaid hundreu-lolu aDoFe-
he developed a lively spark of Repubi-
canism in one of the young recruits in
the rear rank who was waiting to be
sworn in.
Said the Major, "Give a dollar to God
here. and He'll give you hundred up
there
Yes" cried the recruit. ''and He'll
nav you in gold, too. Glory hallelu1ah'
This little episode caused considerable
merriment, after which the services
proceeded and lasted until late and were
unite interesting.

CRAZY FREAK.
A Man Who Wanted a Street Car to
Run Over Him.

About IL O'Clock last night an Incl
dent occurred at Second and ] streets
that filled the bystanders with horror
for a moment.
AS car No. lob, of which Frank West
lake is motorman, swung around the
corner, man pulled off his coat, threw
hlmSelf on the track and in loud voice
dared the motorman to run over him.
Westlake threw off the electric cur
rent, reversed his motor and applied the
breaks in time to check the car and save
the mans life. But he still lay there,
defying the motorman to run the car
upon him, until some of the bystanders
ran out and dragged the fellow off the
track.
1t is supposed he was drunk, but he
was allowed to get away.

EXCITEMENT IN CHINATOWN.
4 Woman Captured and Hustled OF to
Red Bluff.
She is Charged With Grand Larceny
-Constables Have
Lively Time.

There was a great commotion In
CHINATOWN last night, and one OF the
little dens there is minus a woman.
A Constable named Montgomery came
down from Red Bluff yesterday with a
warrant for woman named All Lin,
who is charged with grand larceny al
legged to have been committed up there
The officer was accompanied by
Chinaman named Hung Louey, who
pointed out the woman as the one
wanted.
The Red Bluff officer was reinforced
by Constable Spinks, Deputy Constable
w. w. Whitney and r. Joy. They all
entered the little den where All Lin sat
in her accustomed place before the glass
door, and when they undertook to arrest
her she made a great fuss.
In an instant the sidewalk swarmed
with excited Cinnamon, and 1t is SAID
that pistols We're drawn on both sides
The screaming woman was rushed down
the street to Second, where a hack was
in waiting. Into this she was thrust,
but she didn't do a thing but kick out all
the windows in jiffy.
The driver had his orders, however,
and drove rapidly away to Constable
Spinks' office, where the woman was
carefully guarded and later taken TO
the Oregon train.
One man told a "Record-Union" re-
porter that it was evidently the old game
of using the courts to get possession OF
a Chinawoman, as that species of chat-
tel is growing scarce in this State. he
said All Lin had not been outside OF
Sacramento in three years, and that the
grand larceny charge was a trumped
up one.
All Lin, he said, had by her thrift ana
economy, saved up few thousand DOL
lars, which she proposed taxing "
China, there to spend the rest OF neI
life as she did not happen to be owned
by anyone To prevent her from going,
and incidentally to secure good piece
of property. she was charged with tne
offense named merely to get her away
and into some Chinaman's clutches.
Deputy Constable Whitney states tnat
when the woman was being put into the
hack Special officer Rider appeared on
the scene and abused the Constaples'
calling them hard names. In the melee,
Whitney said All Louey, the Red Blum
Chinaman (who identified the Wonan)'
disappeared. being afraid the others
would kill him, and that when he ap-
,peared at the depot to board the tram
Rider was there and assaulted MN.
However, the Red Bluff Constable
Ah Louey and his prize managed 10 get
away on the train.

REQUISITION ISSUED.
j. w. Brown Must Return to Texas
to Stand Trial.

Governor Budd yesterday issued a
warrant on the requisition of the Gov
ernor of Texas for the arrest of J. w.
Brown, alias Ash, who is charged with
swindling a hotel keeper out of more
than $50.
That is the only charge made in the
requisition, but the facts of the case are
said to be that Brown represented to the
hotel keeper that he was a member of a
firm that kept it's funds in the bank at
Fort Worth, and that the check he in
duced the hotel man to cash was gen.
uine one. 1t proved to be forgery,
however, and is stated to be one of q
series, aggregating over $4,000. Brown
is under arrest in San Francisco and Will
probably be started on his homeward
journey to-day.

Of a citizen yesterday on the charge of
committing a nuisance on N street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh, by flooding
the street heavily and perSistently, de-
spite the fact that there is now very
little evaporation. Hence the mud and
water remain on the street constantly.
The case will come up in the Police
Court this morning.
There are contractors in other parts

How the human system ever recovers
from the bad effects of the nauseous medi-
cines often literally poured into it for the
suppositive relief of dyspepsia, liver com
ailments, is a mystery The mischief done
by bad medicines is scarcely less than that
caused by disease. If they who are weak
bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheu-
matte. would oftener be guided by the ex-
perience of invalids who have thoroughly
tested Hostetters Stomach Bitters, they
would in every instance obtain the speed

ton This medicine is a searching and al
the same time a thoroughly safe remedy,
derived from vegetable sources, and pos
sessing. in consequence of its basis of pure
spirits, properties as a medicinal stimu-
liant not to be found in the fiery local bit
ters and stimulants often resorted to by
