TWO YOUTHFUL FOOT TPADS
They Hold Up a Messenger-Boy
and Rob Him of a
Scarfpin.
Nick Murphy, One of the Youngsters
Arrested, the O her Made His
Escape.

James Robinson, messenger boy, EN-.
ployed by the San Francisco District
Telegraph Company. was assaulted and
robbed on Sansome street last evening at
6 O'Clock by Nick Murphy, street Arab,
13 years of age, and another youngster
whose name is unknown.
Robinson was on his way to the King
Morse canning establishment, corner OF
Sansome street and Broadway, when the
robbery occurred. He reached Jackson
street, and was about TO cross Sansome,
when he was confronted by Murphy and
his young "pal."
These two embryo footpads imme-
diately sailed into the messenger, with the
object in view of making a thorough
and up-to-date job. Finding that the
messenger had no money on his person,
Murphy, as alleged by Robinson, grabbed
his scarfpin, valued at 81 or So, and, ac-
companied by his partner in crime, ran
down the street.
Robinson reported the case to Policeman
Dwyer, who, after a short search, located
Murphy and placed him under arrest.
The youthful prisoner was taken to the
California street Police station, where he
was identified by Robinson as the boy who
stole his pin. Young Murp. y refuses to
give the name of his pal who, in all proba-
bility, will escape arrest.

their com parative merits for the future pave
ment OF Market street and other thorough
fares of the City.
The unt1ring efforts of this association for
over year to secure further transfer privi-
Ieges to the public have at last been crowned
with success. The through streeIear service
from the Mission along Kearny street, as well
as the additional transfer privileges to resi-
dents of the Western Addition, encourage
deavors 10 have the system of streetcar
transfers extended to every part and portion
OF the City, SO that single fare will secure a
continuous trip in one direction from one end
TO the other end OF the City.
The raise in valuation of the assessment
roll is reviewed at length and action was
recommended in the manner presented III
Rothchlld's s resolutions. With regard to
the charter the report says:
More than year ago the Merchants Associa-
ton began to consider the momentous ques-
ton OF securing a new organic law for San
francisco. In trying to improve the material
conditions of this City 1t soon became apparent
that no permanent reforms could be effected
nor benehc ial results fully secured until the
system OF our municipal government had been
changed. Careful study of the new charter
convinced the officers and directors of the
Merchants Association that it is decidedly
superior to the existing government of San
Francisco. The members of the association
have consistently sustained the position of the
board in its vigorous campaign in favor of the
adoption of the new charter.
The immediate result of these efforts of the
Merchants Association has been the creation
OF the Citizens Charter Association, with
whom 1t is indeed great pleasure to hold this
joint meeting tonight. The sole aim of the
Charter Association is to secure the ratification
and adoption OF the new charter for San Fran
cisco, and the Merchants Association will ever
sustain 1t In this patriotic work and ALWAYS
feel pardonable pride in its successful achiey-
ments.
1t was after this interesting document
was read that the formal demand for inn
mediate and prompt action at law was
made in Rothchild's resolutions. The
result was greeted with applause, and
without ceremony Mr.. Dohrmann handed
the chair over to James D. Phelan. who
called the meeting of the Charter Associa-
ton to order.
| Reports were submitted by committees
The San Francisco call., 1896-09-11

as he calls it, of raising the total valuation
OF City property.
He thinks that the rate for City and
County purposes should be allowed to
stand as 1T is now, and that the raise
should fall only on the States portion
Thus, If piece of property is assessed at
SlO0O, the States portion for taxation pur-
poses will be about 1920. and it is 20 per
cent OF this that the chairman of the
Finance Committee wants to add, instead
OF 20 per cent of the whole $1,000
Such measure has been found legal
before and it is hoped to prove it so this
time.
This is nothing less than a crime, " said
Colonel Taylor last evening. "but we shall
try to mitigate the consequences as much
as possible. The State board raises the
valuations OF the State a total of some
thing over $75 600 600 and we are expected
to stand over $64 100000 of this. 1 think
that the law will prevent the raising of
valuations over and above the amount
devoted to the raising of State taxes, and
that we shall be able to head off the per-
petration OF another similar crime next
year.
''If we allow the raise to go over the entire
City, next year when the Assessor fixes
valuations about as they are this year the
State equalizers will call attention to the
fact that valuations are lower and will put
another raise on. This we must prevent
and the way have mapped out is the
only one in sight as far as l know. Mr..
Russell and myself will meet Judge Nc
kinstry again to-day and try to put the
matter in the proper form to decide the
course we will pursue"

An Answer at Last Filed to
Van R. Paterson's
Contest.
LONG LIST OF DENIALs.
The Interminable Line of Preliminary
Technicalities BIDS Fair to Be
Brought to Close.

The attorneys for Theresa A. Oelrichs
and Virginia Fair, Messrs. CARRIER, Boalt
& Bishop, Lloyd g. Wood and Wilson &
Wilson, yesterday filed their answer to
Van R. Paterson's fourth amended op-
position to the Fair will of the Oath; and
not only that, they gave notice that they
would move the court to-day for an order
setting the cause for Immediate trial.
This wears the appearance OF really
"expediting the case" and no doubt the
proceedings this morning will have more
than their usual interest.
In the answer filed the defendants deny
that Van R. Paterson was ever appointed
by the court to contest the will of Septem-
Der "a; they deny that that will was not
dated, written and signed by James G..
Fair, basing their denial on the ground
that they "have no information or belief
upon the subject sufficient to enable them
to answer; they deny that under the will
OF the 24th the contesting heirs would
take less than under tue Will OF the 21st.
They make the separate answer and de-
tense that the plaintiffs are not interested
In the estate of the deceased; that the
only claim OF interest in the estate OF the
deceased which the minor contestants
make adversely to the will OF the executor
is under the will of the 21st, (which docu-
ment is the same which the minor con-
testants IN the amended opposition aver to
be the last will and testament OF the de-
ceased"
The answer goes on to state that on the
ZIst OF September and ct the time OF his
death the deceased was the owner of a
tract OF some thirty blocks of unimproved
land valued at several million dollars,
which at the time of his death was being
improved at an expenditure of more than
$oOO,OOO, and it would require a large ex-
pendlture further to make the land pro-
ouctive, and that the land was mortgaged
for about $500, 900.
1t is also stated that the deceased was
owner OF personal property valued at seve-
raj million dollars and that the area of
the unimproved land belonging to the
estate In this City and County alone is
such that the entire amount of the per-
sonal property might be consumed in so
improving the said realty to make the
same productive of income.
The defendants pray that the court pro-
ceed to try first the issue herein Joined as

it is safe to say that those Immediately con-
nected with the association comprise at least
5000 representative citizens of San Francisco.
II is the ardent hope OF your board of directors
to announce before the expiration of its term
next May that the roll of the Merchants Asso-
citation exceeds 1000 regular members.
Comparatively clean streets was one of the
first results of the Merchants Associate n.
Since the Inauguration of this improved
system OF street cleaning a superintendent has
been employed by the association to look after
the streets of the City. The present condition
OF the streets justifies the assertion that the
present contractors are faithfully executing
the Specifications of this association as adopted
by the City.
Your board of directors believe in clean side
walks as well as clean streets. Two sidewalk
sweepers are regularly employed by the asso-
citation, and our efforts in this direction have
met with such hearty approval that we hope
1t is only q question OF a short time when the
CITY Will add this service, as recommended by
this association, to Its regular street-cleaning
department.
This association has made earnest and per-
slsteut efforts 10 secure sprinking OF the
streets by the City in a systematic and uni
form manner. We regret TO report that the
City authorities have not complied with our
wishes in this particular. 1t is all the more
inexcusable, because the sum required for the
purpose does not exceed $4,000 per annum
an impereeprible amount in the vast annual
appropriations. Believing that the proper
spriEkling of the streets Of San Francisco with
its high winds and sandy soil involves not
only the comfort but also the health of our in
ndpltanLS, your Doard Will never relax Its
determined efforts in this direction, until the
streets OF our City are systematically sprinkled
by the municipality, as in every other pro-
gressive city in the world.
The failure of the City authorities during
the past fiscal year to replace the cobbles in
many level downtown blocks with more mod
ern pavements has been Disappointing to the
public. Renewed efforts will be made to
secure out OF the tax levy for the ensuing fis-
cal year at least sufficient to repave the most
Objectionable cobbled blocks in the City. Your
board will continue to experiment with wood,
asphaItum, brick and other materials to test

A WOUNDED BURGLAR.
Chris Christiansen Arrested for At
tempting to Enter the Residence
of George McCraith.

Chris Christensen, waiter 81 years of
age, appeared in Judge Lows court yes
terday morning to answer charge of at
tempted burglary and the case was con.
tinued till tomorrow.
Christensen was arrested Wednesday
night by Lieutenant Burke aDd Policeman
Murrin. They learned that he had told a
story of having been fired at and wounded
by a robber Tuesday night, and it occurred
to them he might be the burglar who at
tempted to enter the residence of George
McCraith, 311 Church street, Tuesday
night, and was fired at and shot by Nc
Craith.
They went TO the house CT his brother.
2125 Fifteenth street, where he resided /
and found him in bed. He had wound
in his scalp. and after hearing his story
the lieutenant asked to see his hat. His
brother brought il, and there were bullet
holes in the crown and brim. The lieu
tenant made Christensen dress himself
and placed him under arrest.
McCraith says ne resem bles the burglar
in size and build, but ne could swear no

August II, contains the following notice of
the death of an estimable California LADY !:
"Mrs. Bessie Mcleod Loring of California
died at the residence of W. H. Allen on
Monday, August 10, aged 40 years. She
was Mrs. Aliens niece, but was always re-
garded and treated as younger sister,
her mother having died when Mrs.
Loring was in her infancy. She came
to our city with her two boys last Sep
tember. Her husband is now on his
way hoping to arrive in season TO see
his wife once more before the final partins !;
but this is not to be his privilege. Mrs.
Loring has been in frail health for years.
and 1t was hoped that her native air would
prove permanent benefit. She suffered
greatly during her last illness, but with
marvellous patience has been uncomplaln-
ing. She was beautiful in person and in
character, and had many friends in Cali
fornia as well as in Maine. Besides her
husband she leaves two promising sons,
aged Is and years respectively. 1t is now
expected that the funeral Will occur on
Saturday at 2:30 o'clock standard"
