FOURTEEN VIOLENT DEATHS

MIR. Turner's Views.

The principal keeper OF the peni.
Tertiary, in his annual report to the
governor, shows that the number of
Conyicts has decreased frorn 2,424 to
1857 since last October. There is a
slight increase in the death rate, but
it Is still smaller than that In a ma.
jority of the penitentiaries of che
United States, and compares favor
ably With that of any community in
the state. There were IL violent
deaths among the conviCts during
|. the year, and after Investigations by
croner's juries, the persons in con-
troll were exculpsted. The names Of
the conyicts killed and the circurn-
stances Of their deaths are given by
the report as follows:

CHARGES TWO FARES.

How Passengers Are Deceived on the
Solano-Street Electric Line.
One of the worst deceptions yet in
hicted by the Market-street Railroad Com
pany on contiding public Is being per-
petrated along Solano street, at the
Potrero.
The electric cars which go along Solano
street run from the Fillmore line to Ken
lucky, where they have their southern
terminus and where they connect with the
X entucky-street cars. The latter run
from tn G Southern Pacific depot, at Fourth
and Townsend to South San Francisco
and at the depot they give transfers to
Kearny street and North Beach.
Uninitiated visitors to Solano street who
want to go downtown frequently enter the
south bound cars, being decoyed to do so
by the names of the streets printed outside
in letters which all who run can read. In
every respect the Solano-street cars are
identical with the Kearny-street cars. In
print foot long are written the words
Third and Kearny," while the "head-
lines" on the cars are North Beach, s. p.
X. r. Depot, Sixteenth avenue, Powell
street and Kentucky street." There is not
word about Solano street.
Now, why the Market-street company
should put the names of localities on car
which does not go to those localities. or
even transfer to them, is problem which
can only be explained on the grounds of
its desire to harvest few more dimes by
gulling the public.
The passenger to North Beach, or Kear-
ney street. finds when he reaches Ken
lucky street that he is at the terminus of
the So!ano-street cars. Transfers are
offered him to South San Francisco, but
transfers going citywards are refused. The
passenger can only reach Kearny street
and the other places indicated on the So
lano-street car by paying another fare. The
same rule holds good in going the other
way.
At this rate company can hold out all
way of taking taem to remote places, and
when they are once on board and have
paid their fares it can turn round on them
and say, You can get there, yes by pay
ing another fare"

I'VE don't know where he is"

"a story is ahoat to the effect that he
has deserted his wife. Is this true?''
1T is perfectly true" was the answer.
Gus actions are not supervised by US.
He alone is responsible for what has oc-
Cured"
At this juncture the mother and two
brothers made their appearance. The
mother also admitted the truth of the tale.
One of the brothers peremptorily ordered
the rest to say nothing further.
In regard to the charge of affected in
sanity on the part of the wife, it is claimed
by friends of katZ that there is another
side to that story. His friends do not
deny the desertion, but assert that he was
led to do so by his wife's strange conduct.

Gil opened in Memorial Hall in the Odd
Fellows building yesterday morning at
II :15 o'clock.
One hundred and forty.nine councils
were represented by 1s0 delegates. The
total attendance of members of the order
was about 300, and sixty-two new members
were admitted yesterday afternoon.
Grand Councillor T. H. Selvage of Ne.
vada presided. The morning session and
a greater part of the afternoon session of
the council was taken up with the reports
of grand officers, all of which showed the
order to be in prosperous and progressive
condition.
The convention will continue three or
four days, and it was decided by vote to
open the morning sessions at 9:3O and the
afternoon at l: 80 o'clock, adiourning for
each day at P. NJ.
A letter was read from Supreme Chan
cellor Morse OF New York, giving this
jurisdiction Of the Order of Chosen Friends
great credit for the strong stand taken on
the equalization plan, originated and pro-
mulSated by him, whereby every mem Der
pays an equal amount and receives an
equal insurance protection.
The nominations of supreme and grand
officers will be the order for IL o'clock this
morning and the election thereof at P. M.
Contrary to the usual plan, the supreme
officers will be elected first and the grand
officers afterward.
A discussion of the per ca pita tax occu-
pied large part of the afternoon, there
beng many advocates for the 80 and 80
cent and 81 tax.

ALL IN ONE CONTRACT.

The Manner OF Reconstructing the New
City Hall Roof Decided.
The City Hall Commissioners decided
two important matters yesterday, one be-
ing the question Of letting the contract for
putting on the new roof OF the hall as
whole or in separate portions, and the
other the new elevator requested by the
Trustees of the Public Library. City and
County Attorney Creswell moved that one
contract be made for the construction OF
the roof, claiming that in case of damages
to the furnishings of the hall, the respon-
slpllty could be easier fixed under one
contract. Fl was opposed by the Mayor,
who said that the laborers who worked on
the roof would derive greater benefits if
TIE work was divided into three or four
contracts accord ing to the trades repre-
sented. Auditor Broderick voted with
Mr.. Creswell, and the attorneys plan car
ried. Clerk Mccarthy was instructed to
advertise for bids for the work, which
must be fnis he'd by December 26 next.
The matter OF giving the Public Library
an elevator to obviate the climbing of the
tortuous stairway, which the patrons are
now compelled to use, was then discussed,
and it was decided to let contract for an
electric lift to be finished by October /.
Architect Shea stated to the commission
that he had been planning a directory for
the hall, and had figured that it would cost
about $50 complete. He contemplated
mum bering all CT the various courtrooms
and offices and placing plans at all the
entrances on the first floor.
City and County Attorney Creswell
brought up proposition to tear down the
square tower on the City Hall avenue side
OF the hall, northeast Of the dome, but
both the Mayor and the Auditor took the
view that it was the duty of the commits.
sion to build up and not tear down the
hall, and the proposition was not carried
out.

Grace Church was filled yesterday with
friends Of the late James N. Brown, whose
sudden demise occurred last Sunday. The
