INCENSED AT BRODERICK
City Hall Employees Are Sharp
ening Their Knives for
Him.
The County Clerk and Sheriff May
SUE Out a Writ of Man.
damuS.

Auditor Broderick's intimation that he
may refuse to audit the salary warrants of
the deputies in the Sheriff. and County
Clerks offices, because he believes that
under the recent decision of the Supreme
Court these officials must pay their help
out of their own salaries, has created no
little excitement in the City Hall, and the
quiet tip comes from many quarters that
Mr.. Broderick has put his political ''foot
in IT." in addition to driving numerous
nails in his political coffin.
To those who are familiar with the
workings of these two important Offices
and realize the disastrous consequences
that would follow should any court sus-
tain the Auditor, the ludicrous position in
which Mr.. Broderick has placed himself
is at once apparent. No one supposes for
an instant that either County Clerk Curry
or Sheriff Whelan could pay enough depu-
ties out of their aggregate salaries of
$10 200 per year to keep their departments
open, and the closing of these offices
would mean absolute chaos at the City
Hall.
OF course no one believes that either
Mr.. Curry or Mr.. WheIan intends to
allow Mr.. Broderick to dictate the entire
workings OF the City government for
politicat or other reason. If when the
time comes ne refuses 10 sign the warrants
they send him writ OF mandamus will be
sued out and Mr.. Broderick will be COM
PEELED to sign whether he cares to o. not.
AS a consequence of his action Mr..
Broderiek has created an opposition to his
aspirations for prolonged municipal
honors that may be an important factor
at the coming election. when he will ap-
pear as a candidate for the position he
now holds.
The politicians who hold salaried posi-
tions in the Offices affected by his action
are openly declaring that he will have
cause to remember them on election day,
and that his intended stoppage of salaries
will cost him from 5000 to 1900 votes
through their influence.
Business men, too, are also beginning to
view the situation with alarm, and to
wonder whether it will be profitable to
continue in power man vino by one
single blunder might paralyze the entire
City government and place it in posi-
tion where only months of hard work
could untangle the condition into which
it would be thrown.

FOLEY Is NOW ACCUSED
Is Said to Have Accepted Money
From Two Walnut Grove
Chinese.
It Is Alleg That He Failed to Re-
port Numerous Seizures of
Unstamped Opium.

Rumor has it that there is about to be
another great shake-up in the Custom
house. The conviction of Dick Williams,
now serving six-year sentence in San
Quentin for extortion, seems to have paved
the way for other Investigations of SINH
lar character.
The all-absorbing topic of conversation
is the inquiry now being conducted by
Special Treasury Agent Moore against
Inspector John T. Foley and others.
Strange as it may seem, the information
which may be the means of getting Foley
into no end OF trouble came originally
nom Nike CIeary, who resigned from the
service under pressure some months ago.
1t seems that Cleary told Charley Favor,
who is already under Indictment that he
(Cleary) knew of certain crooked work
that was being done by Foley. Favor re-
ported the matter to the treasury agent.
with the result that rigid investigation
was Immediately instituted. It is now
common talk in Federal circles that two
Chinese of Walnut Grove have made affi-
davit that Foley was paid the sum OF $35
under the condition that he would not re-
port seizure of unstamped opium found
In their possession. Foley, it seems, did
not report the capture, but he did keen
the opium, which so angered the Chinese
that they readily agreed to testify against
the inspector.
For several weeks past Special Agent
Jackson has been at Walnut Grove inves-
tigating the affair, though he declines TO
discuss the matter in any way. Major
Moore is equally non-committal, refusing
to either deny or affirm that his assistant
has been so engaged. Foley, it may be
remarked, has hitherto borne an excellent
reputation and regarded as a very eff
cient officer. He strenuousIy denies that
he ever accepted dollar from any one

A HORSE DIES FROM GRIEF.
He Was Separated From His Nate and
Died in Short Time.

He Was Separated From His Nate and
Died in a Short Time.
The emotional life of a horse is remark
able. There are instances on record where
the death of the horse has been traced
directly to grief. One instance is called to
mind which occurred more than twenty
years ago. A circus had been performing
in the little town of Unionville, Pa, when
one of the trained horses sprained one of
his legs so that ne could not travel. He
was taken TO the hotel and put in a box
stall. The leg was bandaged and he was
made as comfortable as possible, runs an
account in the Kentucky Stock Farm.
He ate his food, and was apparently con-
tented until about midnight when the
circus began moving out of town. Then
he became restless and tramped and
whined. AS the caravan moved past the
hotel he SCENE ed to realize that he was be-
ing deserted, ana his anxiety and distress
became pitiful. He would stand with his
ears pricked in an attitude of intense list
enlng, and then az his ears caught the
sounds of the retiring wagons he would
rush. as best he could with his Ia jured leg,
from one side of the stall to the other,
pushing at the door with his nose and
making every effort to escape. The stable
man, who was a stranger to him, tried to
soothe him, but to no purpose. He would
Long after all sounds of the circus had
ceased his agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him in streams and he
quivered in every part Of the body.
Finally the stableman went to the house,
woke up the proprietor and told him he
believed the horse would die if some OF
tie circus horses were not brought back to
keep him company. At about daylight
the proprietor mounted horse and rode
after the circus. He overlook it ten or
twelve miles away, and the groom who
had had charge of the injured horse re-
turned with him. When they reached the
stable the horse was dead.
The stableman said that he remained
for nearly an hour perfectly still and with
every sense apparently strained to the
utmost tension, and then, without making
a sign, fell and died with scarcely a
struggle. The veterinarian who was
called remarked after the circumstances
were told him that unquestionably the
horse died from grief. II it is possible for
all the mental faculties of the horse to be-
come abandoned to grief to such an ex-
tent as to cause death, how much more
does he appeal to the sympathy and re-
gard of mankind,

General Warfeld announced his inten-
ton of calling upon each member of the

lander, /. L. Rosenthal, David Rich. Oscar

pointed to call upon Rev. 2. G. Yorke and

fit OF the carnival. 1t is proposed by the

orators of the day. The subject will be
necessarily non-sectarian, and, as the car
nival is projected for the good of the entire

prevailed upon to assist.

Colusa last week on charge Of using the
mail for fraudulent purposes.
1t will De remembered that some time in
April last Mason wrote to Mrs. Margaret
Christie of Wareham, Mass, to the effect
that her son had been seriously in iured in
railway accident and was anxious to re-
turn home. If Mrs. Christie would send
the sum of 500, he, Mason, would see
young Christie safely aboard the cars en-
route for Boston town. The letter was
written from Truckee and sipned by Mason
as Sheriff of the county.
In time postoffice order for the amount
named reached Mason, who Immediately
| brushed the dust of Truckee from his feet
and hied himself to Colusa. From that
point he wrote to Mrs. Christie IS daughter
in Boston, repeating the story told the
mother, ending with a request for S65.
The daughter and sister, however, was not
SO easily taken in. She made thorough
| investigation, with the result that Mason
was arrested. as told above.
1t now develops that young Mason was
born near Wareham, Mass. where the
Christies reside. He left home when
about 20 years old, finally drifting, to
Nevada. In 1894 he was arrested on a
charge OF burglary, convicted aud sem
fenced to the Nevada State prison for a
term OF eighteen months. He was relea sed
last January, going directly to Truckee.
For time Mason managed to make a
comfortable living out of his former asso-
ciates, the convicts They sent him many
valuable trlnkets to be sold on commits
sion. He disposed of the articles but
failed to make returns to the proper par
ties. When this scheme had about plaved
itself out Mason bethought himself of
other questionable ways to make living.
One day he heard that Everett Christie OF
Wareham, Mass, was in California, and
what was more to his purpose, that the
New Englander was not on friendly terms
with his family.
His earlier knowledge of the family
made him in sense master of the stu.
alton. He played on the love of the
mother to the tune of $10O, and then tried
the same game on the sister and daugh-
ter. 1t is the old story OF the pitcher, and
on Friday next Mason will appear in the
New York District Court to answer to a
charge OF using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. The postal authorities are con.
fident of a conviction.

A CARNIVAL BEFORE LENT.
The Committee Believes That
Such a Time Would Be
Most Suitable.

A strong sentiment in favor of holding
the Carnival of the Golden Gate immedi-
ately preceding the lenten season, which
begins on March 8 next year, was deyeI-
oped at the meeting of the executive COM
mittee yesterday afternoon.
Carnival Director Friedlander is one of
the strongest advocates of the early date
and favors a three days display, ending
with grand Mardi Gras celebration on
Shroye Tuesday night. This movement
has many supporters and was made the
special order for the next meeting.
The entertainment committee was in.
structed TO call at once upon the managers
OF the various places OF amusement which
have promised benefits for the carnival
and arrange the dates. So far Morosco,s
the Orpheum and the Chutes have prom.
ised to assist in this way.
Colonel O'Byrne was instructed to pre-
pare an address to the public, notifying

said, stopping at the Lick House, and he
would return the money next day. Sne

write his name on piece of :yellowspaper.
He wrote -. M. Carson, White House,
Kearny and Post streets" He did not
leave till after midnight.
Holman called the following dav and
asked if the girl had come. Mrs. Kama
roni replied in the negative and Holman
asked her for the loan of 90 cents, which
she declined to give him. He went away
and she did not see him again till satur-
day night. She saw him on Grant avenue
and walked behind him till she met Police
man Smith Carr, who placed him under
arrest. He was very saucy and indignant.
but Carr insisted upon taking him before
captain Whitman, Then Captain Lees
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-04

was notified and he at once recognized
Holman and ordered him locked up pend
ing an investigation. He was booked
yesterday,
Holman is an ex-convict, having served
two terms in San Quentin. On August
26, 1882, he got five years for grand larceny.
He was sent from Sacramento County,
where he hired woman as housekeeper,
shipped her trunks to this City and sold
their contents. On April 4, 1887, he was
sentenced in this City to ten years for
swindling Mrs. Johanna Carlson out of
$145, and was discharged on October s,
1898.
He next got himself into troubIs in Oak
land about year ago. He made the ac-
quaintance of young widow, proposed
marriage to her, and so won her conf
dence that she gave him $1,000. He left
her, saying he was going TO Nevada to
settle up some business, and when he re-
turned they would be married. He did
not return and she notified the police. j.
J. Allen, as he then called himself, was
arrested, and to avoid prosecution re-
turned the $1,000.
After this escapade he went to San Jose,
hired housekeeper and swindled her out
OF $45. He.was arrested but the case fell
through as the woman had to admit she
loaned him the money. He was imme-
dlately arrested by Detectives Gibson and
heynolds on warrant from thls NtIy,
charging him with felony EN- mbezzlement.
That was on November 80 last. He was
charged with emby zzling diamond pin
worth 500 which he had got from Miss
Lulu Patterson. He was held to answer,
but when the case came for trial in the
Superior Court IL was dismissed as the
woman had got back her diamond pin.
In speaking of the charge of forgery,
Holman said yesterday that he did not re-
member anything about it as he was al
ways drunk when he saw Mrs. Kamaroni.
The four checks which he gave her are
in the possession of Captain Lees.
