ITS TRUE INWARDNESS.

A very interesting and dispassonate discussion Of
the A. +. As has been conducted of late in the
columns of Jewish Sentiment and Echo
The following from correspondent to the editor
OF that paper is well worth perusing:

RUN OVER BY A TRAIN.
Charles G. Bertram Seriously Injured
the Narrow Gauge Road.

Cnarles u. Bertram Seri ously lDJ ured
the Narrow Gauge Road.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Sept. "a Charles G.
Bertram of 1891 Pacific avenue, this city,
employed as clerk al San Francisco, was
run over by train on the narrow gauge
road at Morton street station this evening,
and received injuries which are very seri-
Gus and may result fatally. He was on
his way home and was in one of the for
ward cars of the train. which was long
one. In order TO save walking ack to the
station he attempted to alight before the
cars came to a full stop. Having a basket
III hts hand, and it being very dark a the
time, he In some way slipped and fell.
He was thrown around against the car
and his right leg went under the wheel
and was crushed between the knee and
hip. He tried to save himself and got his
right hand as we'll under the other wheel.
The train was almost at a standstilI and
when it came to a full stop the wheels
pinned him down to the rail, and he
could not move or be taken out. An
effort was made to raise the car with &
Jackscrew, but there was difficulty in
placing 1t owing TO the darkness, while
haste was needed in order 10 eXtricate the
sufferer. Some one suggested that the
crowd OF men present. which was very
large, take nolu anu lltt Cne car so as TO
release the unfortunate man. This was
done, and the men worked to such good
purpose that thev almost rolled the car
over on its side. The wounded man was
taken at once to Park-street station,
where Dr.. Lubbock was summoned and
gave such relief as was possible, and on
his advice Bertram was hurried on the
broadgauge road to Oakland, where he
was taken 10 the hospital.
Bertram was at one time the steward in
the Pacific Union Club in San Francisco.

SURVEYING THE ROCKS.
Preparations Being Made to

The Government Will Spend Over
S1,0O0,000 in Improving San

Colonel Charles r. Suter of the United
States Engineer Corps has begun surveys
of the numerous points of rocks that rear
their heads through the waters of tue bay

Government intends 10 destroy these

can be obtained and preparations made.
The Arch is the one the most atten-
tion has been paid to, owing to the fact
that it is in the most dangerous locality.
1t lies in mid-channel, just after a vessel
enters the Golden Gate.
The souHdings around the rock have
been made with the greatest care, and are
so close together that the engineers will

Blossom Rock has already cost the Gov

1870. Colonel Won Schmidt had the con-
tract to destroy it. but only excavated it
to the depth OF twentythree feet, low

vessels of 1870 seldom drew more than
twenty-three feet. out the vessels Of the

Died POOR AND ALONE.
A Life's Romance Ended Away
From Those She Loved
the Most.
The Wife at the Morgue, the Hus-
band Tramping for Work From
Town to Town.

There came to the Morgue yesterday
with the wasted body OF Mrs. A. ]. Frank
a pitiful story of the struggle for life
among the poor of great city.
She had died OF asthma, and because
she had been too poor to engage physi-
clan she became subject for the Coroner,
whose duty it is to ascertain the cause OF
death in cases where no physician has
attended the decedent within twenty-four
hours preceding the death. She wss
found in the morning cold and stark by
the woman who shared the kitchen stove
with her al 1176 Harrison street.
The dead woman's husband is some
where in the country tramp ping about
looking for work. He does not know that
The wife whom he loves and whom he left
waiting here for his return has passed
away.
Five cents was all that the poor woman
had in her purse. She mad lived in
poverty and pain, and yesterday her story
came to an end.
Among her effects, on a Ietter-head of
the Oakdale Leader of StanisIaus County,
was letter from her husband dated Sep

Mate Of the Cyrus Wake
field Wanted to Shoot
a Rival.
Bert Sears Sensational Call on
an East Oakland Young
Lady.
Found That he Was Not Wanted
and Was Elected From the
Door.

OAKLAND. CAL, Sept. "a. - Bert
Sears, the mate OF the American ship
Cyrus Wakefield, created a mild sem
sation in East Oakland two nights ago by
declaring that if a certain young lady did
not return his affections he would quickly
end the career of the young man whom
he thinks claims prior ri hit.
Sears had just returned from long
voyage and calling at the house of a
former friend he pr oceeded to lay his suit
before Miss Grace johnson, member of
the family. Sears demanded all kinds of
answers 10 his propositions OF marriage
and declared tina; if lie could not have the
young lady for wife no one else should.
Sears comes of a fine family in New
York. He is only about % years Of age
and is somewhat OF tyrant on hoard
ship. He arrived in San Francisco Mon
day after quick run from New York.
He lost no time in calling on Miss Grace
Johnson. to whom he first made love two
years ago when in this port. He was re-
ceived 20 coolly that he did not press
matters, but received permission 10 call
the next night.
Wednesday evening a gentleman friend
was visiting the family when the mate Of
the Cyrus Wakefield rolled up the steps.
He was annoyed TO find that the young
lady had another caller. He begged a
moment of her time and quietly told her
that he would like to vent his vengeance
on the other man. A little later he re-
turned and was admitted by Mrs. john
son, who told him her daughter had gone
out with her friend. Sears finally became
abusive and said that when they returned
her friend would find bullet waiting for
him. He displayed Il revolver and told
Mrs. Johnson that he would certainly
use it.
a neighbor came to the door at this
time and succeeded in ciecting Sears, who
was vowing vengeance against Miss John
son and her friend and making all kinds
of threats as to what he would 90 with his
revolver. He said that he was well able
10 do such work, as he had only recently
been arrested Tor i'll treating his sailors.

CLERK OURRY'S FIGURES.

Income of His Office Much Greater Than
the Running Expenses.
County Clerk Curry yesterday declared
that he has never had any intention
OF making a sweeping reduction in his
clerical force on account of the reduced
allowance that is proposed TO he granted
him by the new tax levy. He says that
there will not be more than thirty tw o
men displaced in any event and he hopes
to receive such advice from the judges of
the Superior Court that will enable him
to retain all his present force, which he
insists is necessary for the proper dis
charge o. the public business imposed on
him by Law.
There is one thing that 1 would like to
have the public understand and that is
that none of the taxes levied in this CITY
are used TO pay the exuenses of this
office" SAID Mr.. Curry. The fact is tha t
his flee is self-sustalning, and not only
that, but, by our collections, we are able
to turn a balance into the public treas
ury.
To prove this Mr.. Curry banded to a
reporter statement of the collections and
expenses OF his office for the last fiscal
year. 1t is as follows:
Total receipts last fiscal year, IDclud-
ing Inheritance tax ........... $162, 204 Sc
Total expenses, including criminal
transcripts on appeal, stationery
and salaries. .................... l36,O95 55

for the sum OF over S34O 000 III. coilatei al in
