A Railroad superintendent Had a Wild
Eyed Crank to Deal With.


Eyed Crank to Deal With
AZ Superintendent William II. Peddles, OF
the Central Railroad, OF New Jersey. was
seated at his desk In his office in the Cons
munipaw station n wild-eyed man entered
aud walked up to Mr. Peddles desk In
husky voice he said that he had come to de-
mand $4,000, 600 Ia Central Railroad bonds
and In Baltimore and Ohio railroad bonds
yr. Preddles, after looking the man over
concluded that he had a crank 10 deal with.
He noticed that piece ofiron, TO which was
attached stout cord, protruded from one
Of his pockets. The superintendent, instead
Of selling the man, began 10 talk to him. He
told him he did not keep large sums OF
money or railroad bonds there. and that II
he would step over 10 the Office Of Superin-
dent Charles A. Thompson, OF the power
house, he might be accommodated.
The fellow. who had one hand on the iron
slungshot In his coat pocket, thanked the
superintendenta and, turning, walked out and
went direct to the motor power house. A
messenger from the superintehdent's Office
got to the power house before the man did,
and Mr.. Thompson was prepared TO receive
him. When he entered he told Mr.. ThOmp-
son that Superintendent Peddes sent him 10
get S2, 900, 900 in railroad bonds and that he
did not want 10 be kept waiting long. Mr..
Thompson said;
Vow my friend, II you'll just step with
me into an office next door will see what 1
can do for you
The man readily followed Mr.. Thompson
into the Office Of Chief Detective Laige, OF
the railroad company. Before the fellow
could realize 1t or make use OF his iron
weapon, he was prisoner. After some re-
sistance. he was handcufied and taken to the
police court, where he described himself as
Dennis VI Mineham. 30 years old Of New
York. The piece Of iron which was taken
from his coat pocket was foot in length.
The justice committed the man pending an
Investigation a. 20 his sanity.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
Michael Costello, Grocer, Arrested on
the Complaint of His Father
in-Law.

Michael Costello, grocer on the corner of
Brannan and Gilbert streets, was charged
at the City Prison yesterday with murder
On March 8, last year, Costello's wife
died suddenly. An inquest was held and
a verdict rendered of death from natural
causes. The inquest was held at the re-
quest of John Lynch, Costellos father-in-
law, who expressed his suspicious that his
daughter had been poisoned.
The body was inferred and now, after
the lapse of over year, Mr.. Lynch has
sworn to complaint charging Costello
with murder, alleging that he has pro-
cured evidence to show that the death of
his daughter was not from natural causes.
Costello said yesterday that the charge
was absurd. On the day before her death
his wife appeared III her usual health, and
that morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock,
when he left the house, she was asleep.
When he was notified that she had been
taken seriously i'll he called in three physi-
clans, but they were unable to save her
life. The records in the Coroner's Office,
he said, would show the real cause of his
wife's death.

The ART ASSOCIATION,
Annual Election for Directors and
President Takes Place To-
Day.
Joseph D. Grant Placed on the Regu.
lar Ticket-No Opposition in
Sight.

The annual election for directors of the
San Francisco Art Association will take
place to-day at the Mark Hopkins Insti-
tute of Art. The polls will open at 1
o'clock P NJ and close at 6 P. NJ. The an
nual meeting and election OF president
will be held in the evening, the board con-
vening at o'clock. So far there is only
the regular ticket in the field.
In order to attract as many members OF
the association as can attend the new
paintings recently received have been
placed on exhibition.
The annual report, ready for submission
to the directors, shows loss in mem ber-
ship during the past year of thirty. In
cash on hand the institute holds its own.
About twelve years ago, when Colonel
A. G. Hawes was elected president OF the
association, the institute was in debt and
the membership slight. He took hold of
affairs with a good deal OF vigor and
recruited the membership. When he
handed the scepter to Joseph D. Redding
there was good membership and no debt.
Under Mr.. Redding's administration the
association prospered. He held the new
members secured by Hawes and added to
the cash reserve. There was a lucky fire
during Redding's career and $4,000 insur-
ance money was collected. The enter
tainments during his terms brought in
nearly $4,000.
Under the presidency of the late L. L.
Baker there was not an active canvass
made for new recruits and the mem ber-
ship declined.
Fred Zeile was inaugurated president.
He devoted great personal effort to increas-
ing the embership, and success crowned
his work.
James D. Phelan during his two terms
of office as president has not increased the
number of members, but his career has
been distinguished by liberality to the in
stitution and generous help to deserving
artists
Since the regular ticket for to-day's elec-
ton was printed and sent out to members
Joseph Is. Crockett declined to serve and
Joseph D. Grant has been placed on the
ticket to fill the vacancy.
