DISPUTE OVER RATES.
Trouble Over the Tariff Sheets Has Again
Broken Out.


Broken Out.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 23.-Trou BILE
has broken out again among the south
western roads regarding the rates on
freight to Gulf ports. The Missouri
Pacific has repudiated the finding of
Arbitrators Faithsoorne and Howe in
the cases recently submitted to them.
The decision of the arbitrators was
that the rates from Kansas points to
Galveston should be one to three cents
lower than the rates from the same
points to New Orleans The Missouri
Pacific has announced a schedule
in which the rates from these points
are from one to nine cents lower to
New Orleans than to Galveston. The
merchants of Galveston are up in arms
against what they term the bad faith
of the Missouri Pacific in regulating
the decision of the arbitrators, and
have requested the Santa Fe to make
rates sufficiently low to maintain the
differentials made by the arbitrators

conventions within the next three
weeks for the election of delegates to

DEATH OF LATHER MARS,
He Was Assaulted by Strikers
and Died From His
Injuries.
Murder Charges Preferred Against
Those Thought to Be Responsible
for the Death.

Charles A. Mars, the lather who was
assaulted by strikers last Tuesday week,
died at his home at 765 HARRISON street
yesterday morning. The body was re-
moved to the Morgue and an inquest will
be held. 1t is not known that Mars died
from the injuries inflicted by his assailants.
DR.. Barrett held an autopsy on the body
yesterday. 1t was his opinion that the
blows were not severe enough to cause the
death of man in ordinary good physical
condition. There was no fracture of the
skull, but there was slight hemorrhage
about the brain and the arteries and veins
were wasted.
Walter Gallagher, attorney for defend
ants, had two physicians present at the
autopsy to protect the interests of his
clients. These were DR.. Conrad We'll, Po-
lice Surgeon, and DR.. Tennyson Deane,
x-Police-Surgeon.
The police were notified of Mars death
yesterday morning, and in the afternoon
charges OF murder were booked at the City
Prison against six of the striking fathers.
Their names are Daniel Dunn, James
Holmes, William Patee. John Drugan,
Michael Shine and William J. Bowling.
Dunn, Holmes and Patee were arrested
last week Oh the cnarge OF assault TO muir
der and were detained in prison, Judge
Low refusing to accept bonds for their re-
lease. Drogan and Shine were arrested on
Monday and had been confined in the
tanks, and Dowling was arrested yester-
day afternoon. The arresting officers
were Ryan. Tuite and Moriarty.
The deceased was SO years Of age. 1t
appears that he and his two cons were at
work lathing building at Fourth and
Welch streets when a number of strikers
entered and demanded them to cease
operations. They were charged with TAX
ing the job lower than the union scale. They
were on scaffold at the time the attack
was made and were thrown violently to
the ground and then kicked and beaten.
The deceased was native of Massachu-
setts. His sons were not so seriously In
jured.
On Monday during conscious period
Dunn, Holmes and Patee were taken to
the old mans bedside. He was asked if he
could identity any one who had struck
him. He pointed to Dunn and said, "He
struck me-" Where did strike you?'".
asked Dunn, and he replied, "On my face. =
He was unable to identity the other two.

NEW TO-DAY.
Grateful Women Write Us Letters.

From every corner of the country
come thankful letters written by those
who have been lifted into cheerful, vig
orous, healthy strength by DR.. Plerce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands on thousands of women
have been relieved of the nerve-nagging
drag of weakness and pain.
They have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored, and without the hu1niliating
exposure of examinations so generally
insisted on by physicians.
The stereotyped treatment by local
applications /" is seldom necessary, and
there is no reason why modest, sensitive
women need submit to them.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
of purely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless in any condition of
the system. 1t exerts a wonderful sooth-
ing, healing and strengthening power
over woman's delicate organism. 1t is
an invigorating tonic for the whole sys-
TEN, and is almost an infallible specific
for the peculiar weaknesses, irregulari-
ties and painful arrangements of woman.
To these causes may be traced the
trouble of tired, nervous, irritable, worn-
out women. Careless, easy-going doctors
frequently treat their women patients for
biliousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver
or kidney troubles, when the real sick
ness is in the organs distinctly feminine,
and no help can come till they are made
perfectly strong and healthy in both
structure and function which is brought
about in due time, by the use of DR..

tension.

The promoters of the boulevard to con.
meet Golden Gate Park with Ingleside, are
apprehensive that the Pesthouse will be
located on the Almshouse Tract. Should
the Board of Supervisors so locate the in
stitution the Driving Park Association will
abandon the boulevard enterprise, as the
highway would not be worth to the public
the money expended for construction.
The following significant letter was re-
ceived yesterday from Mayor Sutro:
SAN FRANCISCO March 18, 1896
To Boulevard and Drifting Associdtion--DEAR
SIR: Referring 10 conversation between men,
bers OF your committee and Mr.. AdOlph Sutro
OH matter OF extension of Seventh avenue from
N street southerly and westerly through lands
Mr.. Sutro is ready to carry out his part of the
agreement If the water company will do as
they agreed, provided the Pesthouse is not
located on the Almshouse Tract. This proviso
is inserted from the fact that If the Pesthouse
is located on the Almshouse Tract it will prove
useless expense to improve Seventh avenue
or construct a boulevard as has been suggested
and provided for by the property-owners in
that neighborhoOd. Instead of being drive
way patronized by our citizens and visitors, it
will be Stunned by all. Who will be willing
TO take his family or friends for a ride there
with the chance OF meeting the hospital ambu-
lance containing smallpox patient? Very
truly yours,
w. C. LITTLE, Agent for Adolph sutro.
The sentiments expressed by the Mayor
coincide with the opinions entertained by
G. c. Bemis and Cornelius O'Connor OF the

BELCHER CONCERT.
A Large Audience Applauds the Popu

A Large Audience Applauds the Popu-
lar Young Barytone.
Native Sons Hall on Mason street was
filled to overfowing last night by an en-
thusiastic audience that had assembled to
greet the popular young barytone, Frank
Ii. Belcher, and his friends. in an enter
tainment.
Mr.. Belcher, who gave the concert and
who was the hero of the evening, has been
in the East for some time studying and he
intends to leave again shortly for Europe,
in order to qualify himself for the operate
stage.
His voice showed last night the rapid
progress that he has made of late. At Mr..
Belcher's farewell concert. given about two
years ago, in spite of the mpathetic and
resonant quality of his voice, the tones
were not all produced quite homogene-
ously.
Last night it was evident that Mr..
Belcher had found the true quality of his
voice and that he was producing it in an
excellent manner.
His round, velvety tones were equally
even and smooth in all the registers. He
sang with delightful ease as we'll as with
artistic expression. The "Song of the
Helmet" was well suited to the ringing
tim bre OF Mr.. Belchers voice, and he rem
dered it with plenty of dash and spirit:
AS an encore the popular young barytone
sang Daddy" with excellent taste and
diction.
Miss Carrie Roma won warm applause for
her singing OF "Sceaes That Are Blighted," !"
and the Press Club quartet's 1.-The Corn
Is Waving" was another popular number.
Most of the performers in fact won not
only applause, but encores. DIR. w. H.

THE TOWER MUST STAY,
Members Desire to Remodel the
Emmanuel Baptist
Church.
They Wish No Change Made in the
Building Till After DurrantS
Case Is Over.

Ever since the graceful belfry Of Emman-
uel Baptist Church on Bartlett streetlwas
profaned by the mysterious and terrible
murders of Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams the people who worship in the
desecrated house of prayer have been
anxious to do away with at least that por-
tion of the building where the dreadful
crime was perpetrated. This idea has
lately assumed such shape that deter
mined measures were we'll under way for
the complete remodeling of the front OF
the church.
But justice it would appear requires
that the scene of the 'crime of the CEN
tury" remain for the present unaltered.
There is possibility of new and unex-
pected developments In the Durrant trial
in the opinion of the Police Department,
and hence the realization of the project
set on foot by the members OF Emmanuel
Church will be deferred for time. The
pastor and trustees of the congregation,
while anxious to do away with all that can
remind them and the public of the horrible
tragedy, express themselves as being
equally desirous of subserving the ends of
justice, and will take no action in refer
euCc ~ tuO lCiboociibS u t1O NhoASh
until the Durrant case is finally settled.
According to the plans of the church
corporation the interior of the church will
also be altered to a considerable extent.
The Sunday-school library and the pas
tors study are to be radically altered so as
to present as few reminders.as possible of
the aspect of those portions of the edifice
at the time of the murders. The audito-
rum will also be changed in appearance
and a new entrance built, surmounted by
a tapering spire in place of the iil-starred
tower.
Nothing will be done, however, for the
present. Notice has been served upon the
church trustees that if work is COM
menced an order of court will be issued
restraining any alterations in the prem
ises. The Police Department allege as a
reason for their action that in case the
Supreme Court should grant Durrant a
new trial, or should he be prosecuted for
the murder of Minnie Williams, it will be
of the greatest Importance that the scene
of the crime be left as it was when the
shocking occurrence took place. Mean
while the good people of the church will
have plenty of time to get the funds to-
gether for the Improvements which they
are bent upon making as soon as the au-
thorities will permit.
