A VERY TAME EXCUSE.
The New Orleans Picayune, in recent
edition has an editorial on the Atlanta
Cotton mill strike, in which it attempts
to explain the actions of the operatives
for going on strike by saying that it was
question of social equality that led to it
rather tn an an industrial move against
drawing the color line in labor. 1t says:
cit was social line that was dr. avn.
Mill owners can fill up their mills with
Negroes, but they will not be able, even
if they were allowed, to force respectable
white women to work with Negroes.
D id any one ever hear of such rot? To
give employment to twenty or more

t hose alleged respectable white women
to accept them upon the level Of socia
equality by the employers of such labor.
For that matter the respectable white

$780, 900 year ago at a sale made by the

Owing TO apprehended legal entangle-
ments the road was simply operated as
best it could be In the condition in which
it was when the transfer was made, though h
it was realized that there was ample room
for i'm provement- The line runs from the
corner of Steuart and Market streets via

When all the contem plated improve
mepts have been made the service will be
more frequent more rapid and more COM

But the most important step that will
be taken by the present owners will be
the construction of number of feeders to

County and also beyond the County line
While it is unqualitiedly stated that this
plan is to be carried out, the details, in
Guiding even the preliminary steps for
the feeders, have not yet been decided
upon. The first work will be 10 secure

of the road tomorrow, at which many of
the proposed improvements and extern
sions will be discussed and decided upon

BULLETS FLEW WIDE.
Alice English, Young Woman, Took
Several Shots at Ad-
n,irer.

Miss Alice English. young woman
who resides in the Irvington rooming-
house, 41S Ellis street, took a few shots at
young man known as Cane, a g,a-
zier by cccupation. last Saturday evening,
but fortunately for him the scare was the
worstinj jury he su ffered.
The shooting, it is stated, was the cul-
mination Of an angry dispu te between the
actors in the tragic episode, Cane has
for some time been a frequent visitor at
rooms OF the young woman, but of late
their views on several questions relating
to their future happiness have materially
disagreed.
Saturday evening the couple met and
quarreied, and at The climax of the dis
pute Alice English drew q revolver and
fired three shots at Cane in rapid sue
cession.
The bullets flew wide of their mark, and
the intended target made a hasty exit.
All TIE parties directly or indirectly con.
cerned In the controversy have appar-
emily com bined in an effort TO keep the
matter quiet. Consequently it is not a,
all likely that any arrests will follow.

THE AUGUSTA IS
IN HOME WATERS
Frank ]. Mo.ftt Owns the
Fastest Launch on the
Bay.
A Model of Neatness, Comfort
and Art From the Figure
Head to the Flagstaff.
Many New Iieas Never Before At.
tempted on Pleasure Craft
Built on tn, BY.

The swiftest and coziest pleasure launch
on the bay. the Augusta, has just been
brought over to her moorings in the Oak
land estuary. She was built for Frank j.
Moffitt of Oakland. and is the cleverest
in every particular ever built on this coast.
Art and comfort predominant from the
very stem. The fgurehead is an original
carved figure and the scroll work from it
follows along either side of the bow for
many feet, forming rail to the forward
deck.
Immediately aDaft the forward bulkhead
is semi-circular pilot-house. By neat
little wheel the pilot handles the craft
while being enabled to keep a sharp look
out nearly all around the horizon.
Next to the pilot-hous on the star
board side, is the engine-room, in which
there is q powerful piece of machinery,
capable of propelling the craft thirteen
miles an hour. 1t is a gasoline engine,
one of the latest patterns of 1897, with all
the Improvements and perfections sug-
gested by the engineers who have had ex-
perienee with that model. AS result the
machinery is almost silent.
The saloon is, as it should be, the piece
de resistance of the boat. ALI around are
large windows from which guests can re-
ceive the full pleasure of the view without
any OF the unpleasantness OF wind or
spray. The windows are hung with pretty
curtains, which are chosen to match the
delicately patterned carpet on the floor
and the richly corduroy upholstered cush-
ions which are placed on either side A
pretty shade of olive green has been
chosen for the upholstery, and it presents
a charming harmony of color with the
richly polished mahogany wainscoting,
which is used all over, not only the saloon,
but every portion of the boat.
While within all is suggestive Of COM
fort and ease, without everything is indi-
cative of strength, and the Augusta could
certainly stand very heavy stretch of
bad weather without in any way doing
herself any injury or causing any dIscom-
fort 10 those on board.
d. M. Vanwart, the designer, in laying
her lines, departed somewhat from the
ola conservative models and chose q
design which experience mas suggested is
best fitted for pleasure craft. The exact
measurements of the Augusta are: Ex-
treme length 3S feet 6 inches. beam Z ieet
6 inches, average depth feet inches
The draught of water. owing to the novel
lines on which the keel is laid, is feet s
inches forward and 3 feet inches aft.

AGENT M'CABE WAS AT HIS
LUNCH.
One Hundred ami Eight Dollars Sc.
cured-No Clew to the Maraud-
ers Found as Yet.

One OF the boldest and most successful
daylight robberies that have annoyed the
police and the victims in some time past
occurred on Saturday last when the
ticket office of the creek route ferry at the
foot of Market street was looted by sneak
thieves.
Tho office is situated outside of the
main ferry building andj ust south of that
structure, the back of the little house
resting against the south end of the big
building. A wide gate, through which
teams pass on their way to the creek
boats, leads to it and is left open at times
during the day when the traffic is the
heaviest.
At noon on the day mentioned the rob-
bers-;heir mum Der is not known-entered
the office and carried away all of the cash
representing the mornings receipts and
made good their escape without being
discovered. Tney were not satisfied with
taking the coin, which amounted to sos
and few cents, but took the drawer in
which 1t was contained along with them.
The gate was open at the time and it is
supposed that they went out as they came
Ill, mingiing with the crowd of workmen
on their way to their MONDAY meal. and
then made their way away from the water
front to escape detection.
The office is in charge OF Ticket Agent
McCabe, who was at lunch at the time the
robbery occurred.
Mr.. McCabe leaves an assistant to take
his place while at lunch. and the supposi-
ton is that the thieves. knowing the
agents habits ana having seen him go
out, waited until the assistant had gone
out on the wharf to attend 10 some d duty
and then took advantage OF their Oppor-
tunity 10 secure the money and escape.
They left absolutely no ciew behind them
Tor the detectives 10 work on
The similarity of this robbery to the
one that occurred at the Sausaiito ferry
some time ago, when considerable sun,
was secured, has led TO the belief that the
same parties were concerned in both
crimes.
1t is believed that the robbers will be
located in hangers-on about the ferries
who, being familiar with M-. Mccall be- s
daily routine and knowing that his relief
was busy, saw that it would be easy TO
loot the place and escape.
Detectives Silvey and Eagan, who arc
on duty on the water front, are working
have found no positive evidence, have two
men under surveillance. The detectives
the railroad company are also busy
searching for a clew to the robbers, be-
ing nerved by the fact that this Is tho
third robbery Of railroad ticket offices that
has occurred within the past month.
The first was at the Sausalito ferry, the
second at Third ard Townsend streets,
and the third at the creek-route office.
The loss falls particularly heavily on
Agent McCabe, who will probably have
10 make good the amount taken unless
the money is recovered, which is quite
improbable.

PURE-FOOD CRUSADE.
Louis Hartter, Wholesale Grocer, Fined
for Selling Aduiterated East
ern JeIIies.

Louis Hartter of the firm of Hartter.
Hayes & Co., wholesale grocers, 2l6 Front
street, who was convicted by a jury in
Judge CampbelPs court Friday of selling
adulterated Eastern jellies. appeared for
sentence yesterday.
The Judge SAID that as it was the first
offense ne would not infiict the full pen
atty, but if the defendant appeared before
him again and was convicted he would
not be so Ienient. He imposed a fine OF
$50.
Attorney Reddy, for the defendant. ap-
piled for a writ OF habeas corpus before
Judge S5wall, with the view of .esuing the
constitutionality of the adulterated food
act, and the defendant was released on
$500 bonds.
Hartter, previous to the trial of his case,
filed an affidavit for a change of venue,
alleging that he could not get fair and
impartial trial owing 10 the bias and
prejudice of the Judge, who, he alleged,
had attended meeting of the Board oi
Health and had stated there that he would
convict in all cases.
The Judge characterized the allega tions
as false and limited that Hartier might
have to answer a charge of perjury. He
refused to transfer the case, as it had
been held there could be no change oi
venue IN the Police Courts.
