the operatic stage in Italy, has written
from New York to friends here that she
will give concert for the benefit of the
carnival on her arrival. Miss Little is
graduate of the Girls High School and
also attended a number OF local private
schools. She intended visiting San Fran

volunteered her services, which will be the
only occasion on which she will appear
Miss Little was pupil of the late Karl
Formes and possesses rich soprano voice
of great range and compass. She created
quite Juror in Milan on the occasion of
her debut, and the Italian journals devoted
to musical affairs speak in the highest
terms of her vocal abilities.

sent in design for the carnival badges
and stationery. Her ideas embody a view
of the Golden Gate and bay of San Fran
CISCO with vessels of all classes floating on
the waters. Over all, two figures repre-
senting peace and plenty are floating in the
sky, and underneath the picture Miss
OBren suggests the words, Peace and
plenty reign inside the Golden Gate''

presented to Judge Jenkins in the United

erty worth $13,0O0,00O.
The road will be sold about October 1.
and the decree will be issued in a few DAYS,
the court desiring time to examine the pc
tition and consult with Receiver Hopkins,
The upset price to be fixed by the court
will be So 100000. The judicial sale will
terminate the litigation which has sur
rounded he road, which was created by
the Northern Pacific magnates only for a
Chicago terminal. 1t was said the pur-
chaser would be the reorganization COM
mittee of the bondholders, controlling 95
per cent of the bonds.

Rescue.
AN OHIO STREET HORROR.
1t Is Also Feared That a Family,
Now Missing, Also Met a
Sad Fate.

A fatal fire occurred at IA Ohio street,
between Pacific and Broadway, at o'clock
this morning.
The building where the fire started is a
ramshackle frame affair. characteristic of
the district.
Henry Johnson, a street-sweeper, and
his wife occupied the upper fat, and when
the former was awakened the room was
full of flames.
He tried to get his wife out OF the win
dow. but she was large woman, and
being so overcome by the smoke, she
was unable to assist him and he had to
let her fall back into the flames in order to
save himself.
As it was he was badly burned about the
hands and face.
The buildings were occupied by NJ
Poscari Faleri and B. MartinelIi. The
loss is estimated at $500, covered by in
surance.
Angelo Figoni was badly burned about
his face and hands, and the lower portion
of his body was roasted almost to crisp.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
suffering great agony. 1t is supposed he
was asleep when the flames broke through
into the clearinghouse.
A family consisting of a mother and
three children who occupied a room in
the second. story were missing at late
hour and the other roomers in the house
feared they had been burned UP.

Shot aud Killed.


LOS ANGELES, CAL, June led
White, a railroad man, was shot tonight
by an unknown person and expired ten
minutes after lie was found.
Shortly before midnight the police were
notified that a man had been shot on
North Alameda street close to Maud s
warehouse.
The patrol wagon was hurried to the
scene and White was found lying un-
conscious in pool of blood. A large hole
in the left side, just below and back of the
heart, showed where the bullet had en-
tered, while on the right side was
another hole through which the ball had
escaped. White was hurried to the Re-
ceiving Hospital, but died in a short
while.
Neither the identity Of the murderer nor
any cause for the crime can be learned
now. A. Davis says that he was passing
along Alameda street and saw woman
whose hair was badly disheveled being led
from the warehouse by two men. One of
the men told her to come along, as they
did not want to get mixed up in the fight.
