ANOTHER STABBING AFFRHY
A First Ward Saloon the Scene This
Time.
FOUR PEOPLE WERE ATTACKED
A Lithuanian Named Adam Paulakonis
Welded Large Knife savagely, But
Fortunately None of the Victims
Were Dangerously Injured.

Payday Intoxicating fluid got in its work
ON several Poles and Lithuanians of the First
ward Saturday night and especially upon
one Adam Paulakonis, who made extensive
use of a Jack knife in a crowd of people
but fortunately injured no one very seriously.
According to the evidence one Mike
Rushkes and several friends went into the
Yetkois saloon on East Centre street While
they stood drinking PaulakOnis came into
the barrGom from an adjoining apartment
and tried to push Ruskes from the bar. The
latter protested, whereupon Paulakonis
knocked the mans hat off his head Ruskes,
according to the witnesses simply picked up
his hat and quietly remarked to the bully
that unohending people should not be treated
in that manner. William Yetkois then
walked from behind the bar and admonished
Paulakonis to keep quiet, but instead of do
ing SO Paulakonis drew the knife and slashed
Yetkois across the left shoulder blade, inact-
ing painful, but not dangerous wound.
Having made the first slash Paulakouis be-
came frenzed and made iabs in all directions
with the knife, cutting Rushkes on the left
arm and right wrist, and cut his shirt bosom
in twain, inhicting a shallow cut about eight
inches long on the chest. Mrs. Yetkois then
attempted to stop the aiTray and Paulakouis
drew the knife accross her breast, cutting the
dress. The womans corsets saved her from
bodily injury. Mike Shides, a bystander
had the right arm of his coat cut open.
Constable Giblon had been summoned in
the meantime and arrived after the slash had
been made at Shides. With the use of his
mace and handouts he succeeded in over
powering the enraged man and took him to
the lookup. Yesterday morning Paulakons
escaped from the lookup with five others, but
in the afternoon was re-arrested at his board
ing house on Peach alley by Constable
Giblon and given hearing before Justice
Toomey. He was committed in default of
81, 600 bail and taken to Pottsville.

MFARLANE WAS DUPED.
An Unsuspecting Canvasser Relieved
of Three Cheap Dia-
monds.

A. r. McFarisne. a canvasser for jew
elry installment house, was beautifully
"'f1im- TANNED" yesterday afternoon by
an unknown Italian. McFarlane was ex-
hibiting his wares on Bryant street, be-
tween Seventh and Eighth, when, accord
ing to his story, the driver of a wagon
which was standing in front OF macaroni
factory asked what he had.
McFarlane exhibited his samples and
the man called TO a companion within the
factory to come out and see the diamonds.
The newcomer took a decided interest in
the brilliants and induced McFarlane to
allow him TO take Thorn in the factory to
show to his uncle.
The unsuspecting cauvasser complied,
but the prospective purchaser failed TO re-
turn. Inquiry in the factory developed
the fact that the man was unknown. The
teamster in the meantime had driven
away.
McFarlane notified the police, and the
teamster, who is in the employ of the
Yosemite Flour Mills, was arrested. He
claimed not to know the man who had
seized the jewelry, but nevertheless he
was taken to the Folsom-street station
pending an investigation. McFariane
estimates his loss at $5l.

WILL ERECT TRIBUNES,
The Carnival Committee Gets a
Concession From the Street
p Committee.
F. A. Haber Wins the Priz, for the
Best Design for the Carnival
Emblem.

Two very important steps were taken by
the executive committee of the Carnival of
the Golden Gate yesterday. In the morn
ing General Backus and Colonel O'Byrne
appeared before the Street Committee of
the Board Of Supervisors, asking that eX-
elusive right be granted the executive
committee to erect grand stands and
tribunes on Market street and Van Ness
avenue during carnival week. Colonel
O'Byrne presented the matter to the COM
mittee and stated that il was the desire
of the carnival management to charge a
small sum for the privilege of occupying
these seats that would be provided, and to
keep them out of the hands of spectators.
The funds thus derived will be used to
meet the expenses of the carnival. The
committee unanimously recommended
the granting of the petition.
Another step was the securing of the
Mechanics Pavilion, commencing on
Monday, October 5. This will follow i'm
mediately upon the close of the Manuiac-
turers' Fair. IT is expected to be able TO
occupy the Pavilion for the first carnival
performance on Wednesday night. The
management will endeavor to place their
decorators at work on the interior of the
Pavilion immediately after the close OF
the fair, and will see exhibitors at the
Pavilion TO request them to hasten the re-
moval of their goods. The date of the car
nival in accordance with these contracts,
is definitely set for Monday, October 5.
and will continue for the following six
days, closing on the following Saturday
night.
