The way to stop horns from forming
and growing ON your cattle, says an
exchange, is to follow these directions:
Buy q scent stick OF caustic potash,
and as the little horns make the first
sign of starting on the calf wet them
with a little water, rub them with the
caustic stick and the calf will never
know that nature ever intended that
she should have horns.

Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the
Case of millionaire John

Game to his death from the excessive
use of liquor"
Such was the verdict of the Coroner's 8
jury in the case OF John NJ Oakley, the
erratic Pittsburg millionaire banker and
broker who expired al the Palace Hotel a
few days ago as the result of protracted
debauch, participated in by Beatrice
Booth, an Eastern adventures.
Nothing beyond what has already been
related was brought out by the investiga-
ton.
Dr. Martin testified that be had treated
Oakley Tor alcoholism and had signed a
death certificate to the effect that he died
from that cause.
DR.. Morgan, the chemist of the Morgue,
stated that he had found carbolic acid in
the stomach of the deceased, but was
unable to say whether it came there from
the use OF embalming fluids. He had
never known OF EN- ba ming materials that
contained this ingredient
Undertaken Wright, who took charge of
the mbalming, stated that he did not
know the character of the ingredients
composing the embalming fluids exec pt
that they were poisonous

CLOSED BECAUSE
Of BAD PLUMBING
Doors of the Clement
School Locked and
Barred.
Dangerous Sanitary Conditions
Make the Move I'm.
perative.
Eight Hundred Pupils Who Will Be
Without a School Until
Monday.

Yesterday at noon the Clement Gram.
mar School closed its doors and 800 pupils
were left without schoolhouse.
The school was closed with the sanction
of the president of the Board of Educa-
ton, Barringt ton; Samuel l. Waller. chair
man of the Health Committee; DR.. A. S.
Lovelace. Health Officer, and Miss Mary
E. Callaghan. the principal of the school.
The closing OF the doors Of the Glenn ent
School is the first move of importance OF
the recently organized Health Committee
of the Board Of Education.
Samuel L. Waller, chairman of the
Health Committee, was the first to call
attention to the unsanitary condition oi
the Geary-street schoolhouse. He recon-
mended that the entire sewerage system
of the school be altered. with the result
that the board instructed T. A. Burns,
chairman of the Buildings and Grounds
Committee, to attend TO the matter ut
once.
Work was inn ediately begun, but the
seepage from the old and broken sewer
pipes was so intense that both Miss Bige-
low and Miss J. Lewis, two teachers who
ing, were obliged to com plain to the prin-
cip pal. At Miss Callaghan's suggestion
Chairman Waller was sent for and he re-
commended that President Darlington be
appTiseI and that the two basement
classes be ordered closed.
President Darlington brought the mat
ter to the attention of DR.. ]. f. Morse, the
chairman of the Committee of Public
Buildings OF the Board of Health and of
Health Officer A. S. Lovelace. The result
of this conference was that it was decided
to close the school until the entire sewer
age system can be renovated.
The impoverished condition of the edu-
catiopal treasury will make it impossible
for a com plete renovation of the sewerage
to be made. However. new pipes will be
put in from the vaults to the street, and
after July the modern plum Der will be
given carte blanche to place the whole
school in perfect order. AS it is. double
shift OF men are busy up at the school.
Work is being pushed night and day, and
it is expected tnat the school will be ready
for the reception OF the pupils on Monday
next.
The report OF ]. ]. Sullivan, plumbing
inspector, is enough to make the heart of
even the stoutest quail.
Broken sewers, pipes, cesspools, rotten
foundations and drinking fountains with
out traps are but few of the many
menaces to health he found.
Strangely enough, the average attend
ance at the school was good and the sick
Waller attributes to the fact that the
children at the Clement School are, for
the most part, well fed and warmly
clothed, and IN a physical condition to
withstand disease.
The closing of the Clement School is
but one of the many surprises that the
Health Committee has up its sleeve.

a startling state of affairs has been dis
covered in the estate of Andrew ]. Kinney,
deceased. showing that new way of loot
ing theestate of a dead man has been
developed in San Francisco.
The records of the Probate Court show
that Michael w. Kinney flied petition
for appointment as administrator on the
18th of last Novemb Der. He told Attorney
II. G. Davis that the only assets OF the
estate consisted of outstanding claims for
500 and he thought the court fees ought
10 be remitted. This suggestion was not
needed, but it had the effect of impress
ing the lawyers mind with the insignit1-
canoe of the estate.
As the resources of the estate were repre-
sented to be shadowy in the extreme, and
as the administrator, who assumed to be
brother of the deceased, was not in
hurry to settle the business affairs OF his
dead relative very little was done IN the
matter beyond publishing notice to
creditors to present their bills. None OF
these did so for the reason that they had
all been paid without order of court or
other formality, though in fact they
amounted to only a very small sum as
the dead man was of frugal and thrifty
habits.
not aggregate over 500 in doubtful debts
the bond of the administrator was made
merely nominal, and in this regard both
the court and Attorney Davis were de.
ceived.
A short time ago Mr. Davis was called
into consultation in forgery case, and
through this means he learned for the
first time that Michael W. Kinney is
forger, ant that one of his bondsmen is
also forger.
This information led to an investiga-
ministrator had robbed the estate of his
dead brother and had absconded.
TIE m thod of the forger was simple
enough. He learned that the officers of
the bank had received information OF he
death OF Andrew J. Kinney, and there
upon caused an advertisement to be in
serted in an obscure weekly paper and
signed by Andrew j. Kinney, ostensibly
the man who had deposit in the bank.
This notice was cleverly called to the at
tention of the bank officials, and therefore
when checks were from time to time pre-
sented with the simulated signature of
Andrew ]. Kinney they were duly hon.
ored. They were so cleverly executed
that the bank officials had no idea that
they were spurious.
The forger was careful to give the ac-
count a sem blance of lively naturaIness
by interspersing the drafts with few un-
important deposits. Finally he got $1,000
belonging to his dead brother, and then

SECURED BIG DAMAGES.
John w. Denning's Successful Suit for
Injuries Received in the Service
of the State.

The suit of John w. Denning against
the State for $50, 900 damages for injuries
received on the State tug Governor Irwin
concluded yesterday in verdict for the
plaintiff for $4,000.
Denning was a deckhand on the Gov
ernor Irwin aud was engaged in his duties
as such when he was hurt. When it was
necessary for one of the men to ascend
from the main deck 10 the top Of the deck
house he was compelled to go up a ladder
fastened in its place with what is known
as q "ca bin door hook"
Denning was the victim OF this ladder
In March, 1885, he was working on board
the tug, and found it necessary to ascend
to the top of the deckhouse TO fix one of
the lights. He went part way up the lad
der and then the fastenings gave way anc
he was thrown violently to the deck. A
severe and permanent injury to his spine
was the result.
Through his attorneys Henley, Bigelow
& Costello and d. ]. Bennington. Den.
ming brought suit, and the big sum al
lowed yesterday was the result.

A clever capture of two burglars was
made early yesterday morning by Police
California street.
E. McAuliff and G. P. James broke into
the gunsmith store of L. Moller, 703 Cali
fornia street, about 4 o'clock, and Clark
observed McAuliff coming out of the door.
Clark ordered him to throw up his hands
and he dropped on his knees begging for
m ercy.
Just then Snowfall appeared and draw
ing his revolver he dashed into the store.
He found James in the hallway and
promptly arrested him.
The burglars had forced open the front
door with jimmy, breaking off the lock
and portion of the panel. Then they
forced open door lead ng from the hall
way into the store. Four Winche ster rifles
and 1000 rounds of cartridges were found
IN the hallway ready to be carried away
and a dozen revolvers were missing, which
it is supposed they had slowed away
somewhere.
When searched some skeleton keys were
found in the pockets of the Two men and
on James were found a number of pawn
tickets for clothing and jewelry, supposed
to be the plumber from other burglaries.
They were booked on the charge of
burglary. Both are known as crooks and

Clark yesterday recovered from the
pawnshops two overcoats, a diamond
ring, diamond scarfpin and several
