HORRIBLE MURDER.
Mrs. Mary CIute Killed in Her Flat at San
 Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-A horrible mur- der was perpetrated here at dusk this even- ing. The victim is supposed to be Mrs. Mary c. Clute, wealthy resident of Wat sonville, Cal. She had just rented the flat from a Miss Blanchard and the noise of carpet-laying was heard by the people in the lower fiat. All at once the tacking ceased and all was quiet for time, then terrible screams were heard. The occu- pants of the lower flat became alarmed and started to investigate. On going up stairs the dead body was found. The position of the body indicated that the dead woman had not been outraged. The police are searching for Miss Blanchard and also for a clue to the carpet layer.

MUST CUT WAGES
To Meet the Competition of Southern Cotton
 Mills.

Boston, Dec. 15.-At a meeting of the Arkwright club, which was held at Youngs hotel today, report was presented upon the conditions of southern competition in cotton manufacturing and the best prac- ticable mode of meeting 1t. The report was unanimously adopted.
 The report says: "The southerner finds that with the advantage he possesses, he can make these goods at a cost which will allow him to undersell our mills and leave him margin of profit which Is suf- ficient to induce the investment of capi- tab
 The committee, in summing up its re- port says that while manufactures in the north, especially in Massachusetts, can not undo labor legislation, they must meet the competition by cutting wages.

SOME SCHOOL MATTERS
a. q. VAN oRTER BACK AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL
The Schools to Reopen on September
13th-A Chicagoan Recommend
ed as Kindergarten Director

Despite the excessively hot weather
there was a full meeting of the board Of
education last evening save Directors
Davis and Webb, the latter being Eaat
on leave of absence.
The first business taken up was the re-
port of the finance committee, The
committee approved bills aggregating
S171.SS. debited to the county fund, and
$159.4o TO the city fund, and these various
amounts were ordered paid.
4 communication was received from
Prof. Pierce of the normal school repre-
senting the needs OF the kindergarten
training school. He pointed out that an
assistant director is needed, and Miss
Bertha Andrews was recommended for
the position. The lady is now employed
at Chicago as a kindergarten director
and is in every way competent, and her
appointment is advocated in place of
maintaining two assistants as hereto
fore, at salary Of s100 per month. The
matter was referred to the teachers
committee.
The teachers committee recommended
that A. G. Van Gorder be elected as
teacher in the high school, and assigned
to duty in the science department. 1t
was 80 ordered. AS a matter of fact,
Mr. Van Gorder filled a position in the
science department of the high school
before, but was allowed years leave by
the board for the purpose. of going to
Berkeley and passing his examinations
there.
The high school committee submitted
the yearly requisition for supplies for the
ensuing year, and on vote the purchases
were ordered made.
Director Braly moved a reconsidera-
tion of the janitor's committee report,
so far as it concerned o. C. Higgins a
the Thirtieth street school. Mrs. Cav
kins, who had been janitress there was,
he understood, most estimable widow
lady, but it was considered the work was
not being done well and she was dis
placed. Her case was brought under his
notice, and her brother guaranteed her
every assistance if she could regain her
position. A prominent citizen out in that
district also guaranteed the work should
be well done. He was a friend of the
late Mr.. Cawkins, and Mr.. Braly moved
for a reconsideration of the matter The
motion to reconsider was finally with
drawn and the matter was referred to
the janitors' committee.
Director Bartlett moved that the first
meeting in August be dispensed with.
The motion was made so as to permit the
members of the board to take the usual
vacation. The motion carried unan-
imously
Director Conrey drew the attention of
the board to the necessity of having the
repairs needed in the several schools,
and that so far no work of this kind had
been begun. He moved that the build
ing committee report at the next meet
ing. Director Bartlett explained that
Mr. Axten was engaged upon this re-
port and getting it ready for the next
meeting. In light of that fact Mr..
Conrey's motion fell to the ground.
The 18th of September was set as the
day for the reopening of the city schools

The Buzzard's Bay Colony

Gray Gables, the summer home of eX-
President Cleveland, is once more open and
the family nicely settled there for the sum-
mer. The Clevelands arrived much later
this season than for years previous. This is
due largely to their comfortable home in
Princeton, and then again weather has
been so cold that the family did not be-
lieve it prudent to come to Cape Cod. The
fishing is excellent and Mr. Cleveland lost
no time in getting his lines in readiness for
a trip down the bay in search of tautog
and soup. There are some bluetish in Buzz
yards bay but there is too much work in
catching them to suit the ex-president. He
much prefers to have his craft at anchor
and try his skill at the bottom fishing.
There is no one more pleased here than
Joseph jefferson that Mr.. Cleveland has
arrived. The two are firm friends and sew
eral times a week they visit some nearby
pond fishing for trout and black bass. Mr..
Jefferson owns one of the best trout
streams in the state.
Richard Watson Glider will not be a
neighbor of the Clevelands this year, for
he has rented his cottage at Marion to
Prof. Hopkins of Amherst college.

No part of franchise legislation has
been more scandalously corrupt than

1t has been the foundation of corrupt
combines and of gross scandals by which
the city has been cheated out of its dues
and valuable franchises have been grant

Iof granting franchises to the askers the
city has realized nothing but pittance
from franchises worth millions and rep
