A meeting of the committee will be held
this evening to discuss ways and means.
The question of the Sutro right-of-way
deed was again before the Board of Super
visors yesterday afternoon. Reuben
Lloyd. Mr.. Sutro's attorney, assured the
board that Mr.. Sutro was anxious TO ex-
pedite matters as much as possible, but
that ne felt compelled to obtain some
guarantee that concessions on his part
would not Immediately expose him to
ruinous expense. Mr.. Lloyd pointed out
that his client had expended nearly all his
ready money on his electric railway and
out at the cliff and that prospective de-
mand for, say 100000 in the way of I'M
provements on his portion OF the boule-
ward was something he was not prepared
to face.
Mr.. Sutro, however, has expressed him
self willing to give deed OF the right of
way and place it in escrow for three years.
The question will be further discussed be-
fore the Street Committee this morning at
10 O'CLOCK.
In the opinion of one of the members of
the Citizens Executive Committee 1t is
not absolutely nece> sary for the committee
to await the outcome OF this complication
before commencing work. The men, he
thinks, might start at the present boule-
ward terminus and continue it therefrom
until Mr.. Sutro and the City have arrived
at asdetinite agreement.

In connection with the floral show to be
given during carnival week by the Cali
fornia State Floral Society, under the
direction Of Professor Emory e. Smith, an
exhibit of the live birds OF the Paclhc
Coast is now being arranged. This Is the
first time an attempt OF this kind has been
made in this City.
Members of the joint committee OF
Native Sons and Native Daughters are
making excellent progress with their
arrangem nts for California day, Tuesday,
Nav 4. They had long conference with
the carnival committee yesterday, and
many novel ideas were suggested. The
parade, which will open the festivities in
the morning, promises to exceed III point
of numbers any that has been held here.
For the AFTERNOON the arrangements are
not yet complete.
The grand ball at the Mechanics Pa
vilion which will close the festivities has
received the Endorsement of all the par
lors of both orders in the City. No de-

Why such a man should have shot down
a companion in such a deliberate and ap-
parently cold-blooded manner is what is
puzzling the police authorities.
AS far as can be learned there was no
old grudge between Dougherty and SulI-
van, and those who knew them both say
they were always on friendly terms.
Dougherty was SUSPENDED by the Chief
yesterday morning and charge of mur-
der was booked against him. His case
was called in judge Campbelrs court and
for q week. He was delirious
Yesterday morning at the hospital, but
later he was resting easier. The surgeons
express the opinion that he will recover.
He seems to be suffering the pangs of re.
morse and refuses steadily 10 discuss the
shooting except to say that he was to
blame in the matter.

and Sullivan at the time OF the shooting
and was detained as witness, as he re-
fused TO talk, made the following state

A definite move was taken yesterday
afternoon toward securing the co-opera-
ton of the City wheelmen, attached and
otherwise, in the boulevard proposal.
Ex.Mayor Ellert, who originally made
the suggestion, had conference with
Judge Kerrigan, chief consul OF the
League of American Wheelmen, and
Charles A. Adams, for the purpose of de-
vising a plan of action. Mr.. Ellert's idea
is that subscription lists should be left at

the City, and he has suggested that

both bullets had pierced the heart. The
punctures were about two inches apart
and either would have caused almost i'll

dav.
Detective Charles Cody was detailed on
the case last night. He went TO The hos
pital and had talk with Dougherty but
coud not get him TO make any statement
beyond the fact that he did the shooting
and was sorry for it. He said he had seen
his father, brothers and sisters, and did
not want to say any thing more to any
body.
1t was learned last night that there had
been for the past TWO weeks bad feeling
between Dougherty and Sullivan. Both
were dog fanciers and used to attend the
coursing at Ingleside. Two weeks ago last
Sunday they were both interested In one
of the coursing events and Dougherty lost.
He blamed Sullivan for ''jobbing" him
and Sullivan resented the mputation.
The sparring bout in Lunstedt's saloon
Sunday night between them was at first
thought to be for fun, but now it is be-
lieyed to have been IN earnest. Both
were clever boxers, but Sullivan. accord
ing to eye-witnesses, had the advantage,
as he was taller and heavier. Dougherty,
smartlng under his disadvantage, called
Sullivan an offensive name, and Sullivan
was advancing upon him when he was
shot.

DR.. Arthur Martens claim that he is
unlawfully confined in the Mendocino
Asylum has not yet been decided by the
Supreme Court. In the mean time he is
taken care of at the Receiving Hospital.
His application for the annulment OF
the proceedings under which he was COM
mitted is now being considered by Chief
Justice Beatty and Justices Henshaw and
Temple. The authorities in opposition,
submitted by Assistant District Attorney
J. J. Dunno, are also in possession of the
three. By them the custom by which
persons have been consigned to asylums
in this State for long time, it is claimed,
is upheld. M. NJ. Foote, Martens attor-
ney, insists that all persons suspected OF
insanity should have their condition in
quired into by q jury.
Marten insisted on beng taken to the
courtrooms by the two officers in whose
cnarge he is yesterday morning, and
merely to humor him they did SO. 1t was

sented to return to the hospital
He was quite talkative while at the

Fred Yates has just finished and placed
on exhibition at Vickery's three excellent
portraits-one of DR.. Wood, U. s. N, one
OF General W. Ii. l.. Barnes and the other
that of William Greer Harrison. The
portrait OF General Barnes goes to the Bo-
hemian Club.
An exhibition of paintings by Arthur
Atkins was recently held at the studio of
Bruce Porter. The paintings by Mr..
Atkins were all of California landscape,
and in point OF color so exquisite that a
great future is predicted for tne young
painter. He plans to leave for Europe in
May to commence his first tuition. What
he has already done has been accom-
plished without any direct teaching, and
so complete is his art that Yates, Porter
and others trust that his directness Of
seeing in his own way will be unimpaired
by any school he may choose to enter.
1t is remarked that all OF his landscapes
have found purchasers, which iestifies TO
the taste OF the community. Older artists
encourage him to continue in the way he
has begun. Mr.. Yates commends the
teachings of Mr.. Ruskin. that ''the great

lost no time in examining with that close
attention to detail that distinguishes her,
the many wondrous bargains the generous
management had TO offer. She did more
than admire. though. She purchased
and she thought and came to the whole
some conclusion that a visit to this vast
emporium was worth all the talks on
economy an advanced club could arrange
for in years course.
The dry-goods counter afforded much
food for reflection.
The exquisite color1ng of the materials

low prices would form the subject for

How any firm might show plush capes
with Thibet-fur trimming marked at
$l2 so and stylish Astrachan garments for
IS surpassed even the belief OF the m ost
imaginative. But the bargains did not
cease there. There were silk skirts of rich
brocade, lined and interlined and faced
with velveteen binding from S6 to SIS.
All the skirts are made after the fas hion :
able seven.gore pattern and fall in grace
tul stylish folds.
If the silk skirts are cheap what is there
to be said of black wool skirt, lined
throughout, showing the neatest work
manship, and retailed at 95 cents?
For the lovers OF the natty and the chic
there are those charming checked skirts
and jackets of solid material to matcn at
the ridiculously low figure of $40 per suit.
The jackets are lined Throughout. with
silk, an item in itself that should cer-
tainiy xpress more than half the price
demanded for the garment.
But Mr.. Curtin, to cele brate his re-
tirement from business after thirty. six
years of active commercial life, has not
limited his bargains to one or two coun-
tiers.
He has marked everything downtown
SO low that it seems hard to believe with
out seeing it.
Who, for instance, would credit the
assertion that Nottingham curtains OF
delicate design may be purchased tor 70
cents? That there are Irish point cur
tains to be had for 81, and portieres also for
the same low figure?
Blankets are one of the necessities of
life. Mr.. Curtin realizes this and has
placed his STOCK within the reach OF all.
You can purchase an all-wool family
blanket for $5, an article that formerly
sold at 81 80. And so it is with all the
stock in The big Market-street store. Re

1t was demonstrated to the School Dl-
rectors that new school building is
needed on Seventh avenue and Clement
street for the accom- m odation of the in
creasing number of children now attend
ing the Richmond School. This, with
the children who will in the course OF
few months be housed in the Maria Kip
Orphanage, block distant, convinced the
Directors of the justice of the claims OF
the com mittee, and as result building
will go up imme diately after the COM
mencement of the next fiscal year. In the
meantime additional classrooms will be
added to the Point Lobos Schoolhouse,
which will tenn porariy relieve the crowded
condition OF the Richmond School.
Following this victory one has been
gained over the Park Commissioners by
that body spreading a coat OF macadam
on Point Lobos avenue from Central to
First avenue.
Last, but not least, First avenue from
its northern boundary at the Preside to
Golden Gate Park has been let to con-
tractors for pavement.
The block between Jackson and Wash
ington streets, which has somewhat of a
steep grade, is to be pav<d with basalt
blocks, and from Washington street to
Point Lobos avenue will be coated with
bitumen. The thoroughfare from this
point to Golden Gate Park will be mac
adamized.
The contractor, under his agreement,
binds himself to keep the road in good
condition for five years without expense
to the taxpayers.
The Market-street Railroad Company
has at last yielded to the Iersuaslon of
President Fletcher and removed the old
street-rails over which the steam dummies
ran to the park, thus relinquishing that
portion OF its franchise for the public good.
The club at its lass meeting requested
the Supervisors to attacn patrol wagon
to the new police station on O. Farrell and
Devisadero streets, and also to place addi-
tional electric lights through the district.
