Will Ask Delinquent Tax Col.
lector WilIett About Clerk
Hire.
One Man Charged Fifty.0ne and a
Half Days Work Since Novem.
b.r 20 Last.

Attorney Willett, who is employed by
the Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors to collect delinquent taxes,
must do some explaining to Auditor Brod-
erick before the bills of his clerks for get
ting out the lists of dslinquents are paid.
When the bills ran up to 5000, when
only $4,000 was to be collected, the Au-
ditor began TO ask questions, and now
that they have mounted up to an aggre-
gate of $1,000 the scrutiny is becoming Sc
we're. This amount is in addition TO Will
let's commission. Yesterday bill was
presented that fairly staggered the Au-
ditor. 1t was that Of f. L. Culin, who
asked for pay for 51H days work, per-
formed since November 20 last, when his
last warrant was audited. The bill was
dated December IA, and as only "a DAYS
had elapsed since the City squared ac-
counts with Culin the Auditor did not see
how he could have got in 5114 days.
Culin explained offhand III response to
questions that he had worked both day
and night, charging double time. A sim
pie computation showed the Auditor that
even this method of labor would only pro-
duce forty-eight days work and Mr.. Culin
was asked to call again.
Now Auditor Broderick is going into the
whole subject of the delinquent tax mans
bills and will call on him to explain. Mr..
Broderick wants to know if the actual cost
was necessarily so great as it has been
made, and why the books are being
worked on in the attorneys Office instead
of in the City Hall. This latter is because
the discovery was made recently that the
men had not been at work in the hall for
month past.
Another question relates to the necessity
of holding back the payment of rebates
for months after the records necessary for
their payment were all prepared.
Mr.. Broderck is of the opinion that the
Finance Committee had no right to hold
back the repayment of the rebates, and
that the main gamers by such a matter
have been the brokers who are buying up
the claims

Freight Car Leaves the Track and
Brakeman Falls to His Death
Under the Wheels

AUBURN, CAL, Dec. 16.-A fatal rail-
road accident occurred two miles north of
here this afternoon. A freight train going
west, in charge of Conductor Burgess, was
ditched and one brakeman killed and
another badly injured. Shortly after Ieav-
ing Colfax the air tubes broke at the first
car back of the engine, and the jar sent
the car off the track throwing the tw o
brakemen violently to the ground.
L. S. Sheldon fell on the track and his
body was run over. William LindIey
escaped being run over, but was seriously
injured internally. His clothing was torn
from his person by the force with which
he was thrown to the ground. Conductor
burgess and Editor Parker of the Coifax
Sentinel were in the caboose and received
a shaking up.
The dead brakeman was married and
leaves widow and two children in Sacra-
mento. Lindiey is also married, having
welded a Miss Rogers at Alta only last
Saturday. Coroner Mitchell has continued

This Is the game that will show the
strength of San Franchises best amateur
ball talent. Heretofore all OF the Clty

had players that never played together.
This time it will not be so, as TINS team
will have the benefit of training and play

Every one who has seen the Alerts un-
derstands why they are so successful.
They have about the same team ihey
started with in the spring; their teal
work is fine, both in fielding and batting
as we'll as In base-running. They nave
shown that it will take much stronger

street. The parlor in which the bier was
placed was beautifully decorated with the
floral offerings of those who had been
Dalliba's companions in life. There were
several handsome wreaths. crosses and
other floral designs, the offering of the
Press Club, A. K. Stevens, Fred Hack, a
son in law, Hugh NJ. Burke, Charles
Hack and G. w. Nevin and wife. The
coffin was simply buried beneath the
fragrant tributes.
Poor Dali !" This was the involuntary
expression of the pioneers friends as they
took last look at his calm, placid fea-
lures, even in death rejecting the serenity
of an untroubled conscience and the kind
ness of an open-hearted, generous DISPOSE
ton. Strong men, who had been boon
companions of the deceased, gaZed upon
his countenance and turned away with a
suspicious moisture in their eyes. He was
loyal to the craft in life, and in death
they sorrowed for him.
Then the remains, followed by a large
concourse of relatives and friends, were
conveyed to st. Mary's Cathedral, on Van
Ness avenue. The pallbearers were !:
George K. Fitch, ex-proprietor of the Bull
letin; Robert l.. G. Barnes, business man
ager of the same paper; A. K. Stevens,
secretary of the Sutter-Street Railway !;
Gilbert 3. Densmore, Bulletin editorial
writer Hugh NJ. Burke of THE CALL. w.
G. Bunner and e. ID. Dement, represent
ing the Press Club, and ]. B. Dillon of the
Bulletin.
At the cathedral a requiem mass was
celebrated by Father Prendergast. The
funeral cortege then proceeded to Holy
Cross Cemetery, where all that was NOR
tai of Henry S. Dalliba was laid to rest be-
side the remains of his beloved wife, in &C.
cordance with the last wish he expressed.
She has been dead a little over six years.
OF Dalliba's journalistic life in this City
it is hardly necessary to speak. Suffice it
to say that he was the oldest working
news paper man on the Pacific Coast. Much
of his work was done in the higher courts
of the law, for as a court eporter he pos
sessed exceptional qualifications. He WAS
on terms of cordial friendship with most
of the eminent Judges and lawyers of the
City, and such confidence was reposed in
him that secrets of decisions were often
confded to him before they were made
public.
He was the soul OF sincerity and frank
ness and generous to a fault. The loss of
his wife broke his heart, and his health
had been declining for years.
Five daughters and son survive him.
Ali were present at the funeral but the
son, who is away in the mountains and
could not receive the news in time to
reach here

Made a Theatrical Mechanic.

Miss Julia Blanc, the young lady who plays
character parts at Morosco's, had the peculiar
experience of being made a theatrical me-
chan ic yesterday. At least she was taken into
the Theatrical Mechanics Association as an
honorary member. The compliment was par
ucularly fiattering since, alth ough this lodge
of the association has the privilege of initiat-
ing three honorary members each year, Miss
Blanc was the only one among all the actors
of the City chosen. There were some lively
initiatory exercises. the proverbial goat did
his duty and pretty speech was duly m ade,
and there was jolly little banquet at which
Blanc is the fourth lady to be made member
of the association. The three others who
share that honor with her are Josephine Glass;
man, Title Morrisey and Lydia Yeamans
Titus.

It is sometimes good for
man to know the truth about
things. Sometimes it is kinder
to tell him only half the truth
if you wish to save him unnec-
essary pain. But most men
know the state of their own
health if they will but admit
it to their own consciences.
The sensible man never tries to
fool himself where his life may
be involved. Just think for
moment. Do you have dizzy
spells ? Do you have a feeling
of bashfulness when you should
be bold ? Do you get cold,
clammy sweats /? Do you find
it hard to get refreshing and
sound sleep? Do you feel
gloomy and depressed when
you ought to be bright and
cheerful ? Nasty taste in your
mouth ? A dislike for work or
for exerting yourself in any
way ? And perhaps weak
back? My good man, don't
pass these symptoms by. Ask
yourself these questions in all
seriousness. Either one of them
indicates the approach of nerv-
Gus exhaustion, and if you are
suffering in other ways it is

7ae Berfno Sea Inoutry.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 16.-A ruling
was given in the morning by the Boring
Sea Claims Commissioners on subject
which has several times been question
of difference between the counsel for Great
Britain and the United States. This was
as to the proportion of seals secured out of
those shot by hunters. Judge Putnam,
speaking for the commissioners, said thatit
had been decided to restrict the evidence
of witnesses on this point to their prac-
teal experience. The number of witnesses,
too, must be limited. Six would be
enough, except in case of unforeseen con-
tingencies. AS an alternative, the CON-
missioners were of the opinion, if it were
agreeable to counsel. that any references
in published reports of the Boring Sea case
at Paris covering this matter were open
to either side to put in.

ence Isabella Juilliard, the beautiful
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Juilliard,
and the groom is Mark L. Mcdonald Jr.,
eldest son of Colonel and Mrs. Mcdonald.
The ceremony was performed in the
Presbyterian church by the Rev. William
Martin. in the presence of nearly 1000 in
vited guests. The sacred edifice was beau
tifully decorated from designs furnished
by Mrs. ]. n. Wiley, snd executed under
her personal supervision. They were
somewhat unique, from the fact that not
a single flower was used, and the artistic
effect of blending of holly-berries, ferns
and palms was striking and novel.
When the organ sounded the strains of
Handel's beautiful bridal music the audi
ence arose to receive the bridal party,
which came slowly up the center aisle.
First came the gentlemen ushers, w. G.
Bouta, Major L. w. Juilliard, N. W. Kit
tie and James K. Edwards. They were
followed by the bridesmaids, Miss Florence
Rockwell of Boston, Miss Ethel Moore of
Oakland and Miss Mabel McDowney of
Santa Rosa, and then the maid OF honor
Miss Halle Porter of this City. The
young ladies were attlred alike in white
broadcloth suits, trimmed with mink, and
large back-velvet hats with pJumes, and
they carried bouquets or red carnation.
Then came the bride, leaning on her
fathers arm, in a Worth gown of ivory
white satin, with train trimmed with
point applique and orange blossoms, with
veil to match.
The party was met at the altar by the
groom and his best man, Stewart Nc
Donald, and under a beautiful marriae e
bell the happy couple responded TO the
solemn words that joined them for lie.
The ceremony was followed by we'd
ding breakfast at the Juiallird residence
on Santa Rosa avenue, which was, like
the church, exquisitely decorated, and the
afternoon was devoted to a reception.

until after the statute time had ELAPSED,
would of course be poweress to collect
