The Condition of the Southern Pacifc's
NdrrO,c- Gauge Causes Harm.
SANTA CRUZ. CAL, Jan. 29.-Great an
noyance and great inconvenience is caused
by the condition of the narrow-gauge line
and the lax attention given it by the
Southern Pacific Company.
Trains and mails are Irregular Pas
sengers are frequently delayed and more
often transferred along the line. Last
summer some heavy blasting was done in
the vicinity of the ledge and Felton, juno
ton, which dislodged the loose earth and
stones composing the EN- bankments. The
winter rains have added to this and the
sides OF the mountains are continually
caving and sliding on the track, to the
great danger OF all travellers.
The morning train could not get past
the slide and its passengers were brought
back to this city. The noon trains in and
out were transferred, and no afternoon
train or passengers got in at all. The
slide was cleared away this evening, how
ever, but the delays are serious and annov-
ing, and passengers are afraid to make the
trip. The whole road is in a sliding con-
dition, so that at any minute a serious
accident might occur. as there are INSULT
clent track-walkers.

CONSUL TYSON ACQUITTED
The Charge of Embezzling $63
From Madame Loyez Not
Sustained.
The Painting Ratified Off in Saloon
and Some of the Tickets Still
Unpaid For.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 29.-Monsieur
H. F. Tyson, the French Consul, had a
preliminary examination this afternoon
on the charge of embezzling S63 from
Madame Marie Louise Loyez OF San Fran
cisco and was discharged. Monsieur Loyez
was the only person Monsieur Tyson
recognized as the owner of the picture out
of which the alleged embezzlement arose,
and it was for his account he took upon
himself the trouble TO dispose of it by rattle.
The painting was ratified off in Ungers
saloon and the bulk of the proceeds Mons.
Tyson turned over to him, partly TO make
him whole in the event that he (Unger)
should be called upon to pay certain
bond for Loyez. Proceeds for the sale of
number of tickets, Mons. Tyson stated,
had not yet been collected. He claimed
that in doing as he did he was not
prompted by any dishonorable motive,
but believed himself to be performing a
duty,

MR.. STORY HAS RESIGNED
The President of the Home
Mutual Insurance Com
pany.
He Has Been in the Business in This
City Quarter of
Century.

President Charles r. Story of the Home
Mutual Insurance Company has resigned
his position and will retire from the
business.
This is one of the most important
changes that has recently occurred In the
control of the local insurance affairs, and
it was the topic of discussion among the
brokers yesterday.
Mr.. Story has been concerned in insur-
ance here for twenty-five years and three
years ago he became president of the
Home Mutual Company.
This is one of the California companies
issuing fire and marine policies and it was
bought up by the Fireman's Fund Com
pany, which now controls it. The stock,
1t is stated, is all owned by the Fireman s
Fund Company excepting what the officers
are required to own.
Letters have been sent to all the agents
of the company, notifying them of Mr..
Story's re tirement.
Mr.. Story says that when he went into
insurance here quarter of century ago
the conditions were for time much the
same as they are now. He expects to see
improvement come soon.
The reason for Mr.. Story's resignation is
a desire to get away from active business
cares,

Business Rivalry and an Accu.
sation Of Overcharging for
County Printing.
ARMISTICE DECLARED AT NIGHT
They Fought All Day With Varying
SucceSS-0ne Journalist Lost
His WhiSkerS.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 29-There
was a war among the newspaper men Of
Santa Cruz to-day that began at noon and
kept the atmosphere of Pacific avenue
blue until after dark. The trouble started
with Phil Francis, editor and proprietor Of
the Penny Press, assaulting Editor Braun,
editor of the Evening Record.
The Record last night contained sour
rilous article rejecting on Francis without
mentioning directly his name.
Francis replied this morning through
the Penny Press with a sarcastic paragraph
deeming the article unworthy of direct
reply, as it was merely a reiteration OF a
former quarrel that had been exploded.
But meeting Braun on the street at noon
to-day, the Penny Press man determined
to give him q drubbing. He struck him
with an ordinary cane which was broken
by the blow. The two men then clinched
and were separated by an officer.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon they met
again, Braun being accompanied by a
printer named Ernest Warren. Some
twenty persons who saw the second fight
say that the two men first attacked Fran
CTS and that he returned the assault with
another cane-one that would not break.
1t was Of leather with an iron rod through
it, but instead of a loaded head, as such
canes have usually, 1t had an ivory top.
He succeeded in knocking Braun down
and had a very lively time with the two
men.
A charge of assault with a deadly weapon
was brought against Francis, and his bonds
OF $1,000 for trial on Friday were given by
L A L ~
well known capitalists who are worth
$1,000, 600 each.
The trouble between. Francis and Braun
grows out of a charge that the Penny
Press has made against the Sentinel and
Record, which are controlled by the same
management, of county printing over
charges.
There was also an old quarrel between the
two men growing out of an effort made by
the Record man some time ago to have
Francis charged with stealing 20 cents,
and which was exploded. At that time
Braun sought to have Francis put under
bonds to keep the peace, but Justice Crag-
hill, on discovering that Francis enemies
took advantage of that to abuse him, de-
clined to accept the bonds.
Within an hour after the first meeting
of the men to-day, noon, another alterca-
ton occurred.
Expert Wright, whose report caused the
Grand Jury to recommend that Duncan
Mcpherson, editor of the Sentinel, be
prosecuted for overcharging the county for
printing, attacked Mcpherson and charged
him with blackmail on account of an
article that appeared in the Sentinel this
morning. Mcpherson called him "a liar'
and the expert struck him and pulled a
handful of hair out of his beard They
were separated by the officer. This after
noon the Surf published an advertisement,
''Lost-a bunch of McPherson's whiskers."
Mcpherson met Will Raymond, city
editor of the Surf, and they came near
having real fight, but were prevented in
time,

RED MEN At THE BOARD,
Twenty-Eighth Anniversary Ban.
quet of Manzanita
Tribe.
Elaborate Menu, Followed by Toasts
and Fine Musical and Literary
Programme.

1t would have been hard to find through
out the City more jovial gathering of
men than the participants in last nights
banquet of Manzanita Tribe No. 4, I'm
proved Order of Red Men. The occasion
was the tribes twenty-eighth anniversary.
The larger banquet-han of the Red
Mems building on Post street was regally
adorned for the event. The table, accom-
modating over 300 guests, was arranged in
the form of hollow square. At the four
corners were female figures in statuary
bearing candelabra.
Clusters of waxlights illuminated the
other portions of the quadrilateral festive
board.
When champagne corks commenced to
pop, Charles L. Patton, the toast-master
made brief speech, after which he an
nounced the toasts, which were as follows:

the anniversary committee, consisting of

Mr.. Chase signalized the occasion by pre-

SESSION OF THE CIRCLES,
Catholic Educational Union Has
a Literary and Musical
Meeting.
metropolitan Temple Crowded at the
First General Gathering of the
Reading Clubs.

The first open session OF the San Fran
cisco reading circles of the Catholic par
ishes was held last night in Metropolitan
Temple, and it was full success. Every
seat in the house was occupied, and even
the aisles were filled toward the doors and
along the walls. On the preceding nights
the Educational Union was entertained
and instructed by speakers who Iectured
on questions of special interest at the
present time-questions of religious and
political character; but last nights efforts
were confined to members of the different
reading circles-an open session, as it was
called, at which some representative men,
bers OF the union read clever essays and
entertained the large audience with music
and Rotations.
The papers read had peculiar interest
for women, the subjects being Romance, I"
CLEOPATRA "Heroines of America and
Poems Of Father Ryan, and every one of
them evinced thought, much conscien-
tlous study, wise course of reading and
well-disciplined knowledge.
1t was evident, judging from the ap-
plause that greeted each essay, that the
efforts OF the young ladies were thoroughly
appreciated and received at their true
value 1t was a Catholic ladies' night-a
uIlllldht OHe--IOr the laQleS who partlCl-
paLed acquitted themselves creditably.
The open session, rather decidedly
pleasant entertainment, opened with an
instrumental duet by Misses NJ. Parker
and A. Erwin, which was received with
applause.
Miss E. Mcdonald of Montgomery Cir
Gle read an essay on Romance. This
proved to be thoughtful paper full of evil
oences CT careful reading and conclusions
"a literary criticism OF considerable merit
largely historical, yet withal most en-
tertaining and instructive paper Miss
Mcdonald added to the programme title
OF Romance Its Rise and Character
lstics." She held that romance was Justly
the delight of all people, since it carried
men away from the everyday world,
with Its worries and cares and carried us
on to world of imagination, where the
heroes are all good and the heroines all
beautiful. Virtue is always rewarded and
wlckedness punished"
Then when the story is well written, !"
she continued, 'it is not only entertaining
but highly instructive. We gain an idea
