Daniel Andre is in OF of The most pitia-

time when he will be able to go home to
see his wife whom he believes to be sick
from the shock of his accident
Last Sunday Mrs. Andre died of an apo

A greater difficulty now confronts the

tist Church. They do not care TO undertake
the responsibility OF interring the remains
without consulting the hus band and with

HAD A PRIVATE PUNCH.
Arrest of a Man Who Supplied
Himself With Transfer
Tickets.
KrugePs Clever Scheme Ended When
He Passed One Pasteboard
Too Many.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
gus Broad wAY Aug. i.


G. NJ. Krugel. an ex-conductor of the
Oakland, San Leandro and Haywards
Electric Line, has been caught passing
bogus transfers upon his former en-
piover, and is now under arrest charged
with attempting to de fraud the company
out of its regular fare.
T he accused was formerly motorman
on the road, but was discharged after
havI ng run his car into a hack, which it
more or less injured.
He then went to work at Alameda,
though he continued TO reside at Elm
hurst.
For the purpose OF making his trips TO
and from his place of business in an mex
pensive way he conce we'd the idea of bogus
transfers These he made by securing
lie gitimate transfers and punching the
sa me with punch which he had secretly
acquired and which so closely resem BILE
punches OF the company that it was diff
cult to determine the difference In the
general appearance between the genuine
and bogus transfers.
Circum stances caused Krugel to be sus-
pected. The matter was brought to the
attention of Constable Glaze. He worked
on the case and satisfied himself that
Krugel was doing the crooked work. He
caught him IN the act several times.
In going to Alameda the suspect would
present his bogus ticket and ride free
across the estuary and back again.
Last night Glaze feared that Krugel
m ight suspect him and thus be placed on
his guard, so he put Deputy Constable
Robinson to work on the case.
Krugel boarded the train for home at
Fruitvale. At High street he handed the
conductor one of the bogus transfers, to-
gether with a nickel, both of which were
Intended to pay his passage TO Elmhurst.
As soon as the transfer was surrendered
the conductor handed it 10 Rob son, who
had been provided with an order Tor that
purpose 1t was discovered to be bogus,
and Krugel was placed under arrest.
The company is now making an effort
TO ascertain where Krugel obtained the
genuine transfers which he fraudulently
furnished

DIMOND'S SUIT DISMISSED.
Miss Lillian Blair Will Not Have to Pay
That 100000 Fee.

The suit of Attorney Henry Dimond
against Miss Lillian Blair for $1OO, 900
on account Of services as lawyer was
dismissed in the Superior Court yester.
day. The plaintiff availed himself of
his legal right to abandon his claim and
the liti igation therefore came to close.
This Lawsuit has caused great deal of
gossip and controversy among the friends
and admirers OF the young lady on one
side and the stanch adherents of the
lawyer on the other. The distin nguisned
ma me OF General Barillos was implicated
IN the dispute and there was at one time
danger Of in ternational difficulties in con-
sequence.
No explanation has been offered by the
plaintiff Tor the dismissal of his suit, bu t
it is within the disabilities that the ac-
tion may be renewed in another phas g
within the time allowed by law.
In speaking of the course taken By the
attorneys Tor the plaintiff, J. B. Reinstein
said it was complete surprise to the at
sorneys for the defendant. The latter
were doing everything posi- BILE to bring
the suit TO trial, and had been given no
intimation of the action that was take
yesterday. He also gave it to be under
stood that the matter would not be
dropped, but that everybody connected
with the plaintiffs suit would be give n
full opportunity 10 vindicate their honor.

The City Council Could Not
Create a Monopoly Of the
Garbage Business.
The Promoters Declare They
Have Lost Money Since
Making the Contract.
Italian scavengers Refused to Deliver
Their Collections to the
Orematory.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

90S Br way, Aug Il.
The Oakland Garbage Crematory is now
the property of ]. E. Lyons, OF Front
street San Francisco, and the attempt 10
scientifically dispose of the garbage of this
city has proven failure.
For some time it has been known that
the company was losing money and
Judgment for labor recently obtained
against it forced crisis.
The experiment has been watched with
much interest for over a year and had the
promoters been able 10 secure a monopoly
of the business they would have been able
10 pay the bonus 10 the city and to have
conducted the institution d profit to the
stockholders. They have been fought
vigorously by the Italian scavengers ever
since they started and every possible OBJ.
stacle has been placed in their way.
On one occasion some sticks of dyna-
mite were found in the garbage, which, il
it had reached the furnace, would quickly
have ended the ere matory.
AT the time the company commenced
operations the city was paying $500 per
month to a contractor to take the
garbage to some point seven miles from
town and dump IL from cars. The COM
pany for over year has saved this
ohAOuAb " AhS wy bhL INC Nhu4OI IS-
Gently vetoed an ordinance making it
misdemeanor to refuse TO deliver garbag e
TO the crematory. This would have
created a monopoly, and such a course
was declared to be illegal.
The Italians have lately been chartering
cars and sending their garbage out of
town, ana thus the crematory only had
:he privilege of destroying what its own
men collected. This was not enough to
maintain it and it could not meet its obli-
cations.
County Recorder Spear is president of
the company and he says if the Council
had properly supported the company it
would have been able to go ahead.
I'VE have saved the city thousands of
dollars year, ''said Spear, "and it has de-
clined to support us. We could easily
live up to our contract if we had the priv
ilege of destroying all the garbage, which
was what we expected"
1t is probable that the city will soon be
aga naying $500 month to have the
garbage hauled out of town.

Miss Cub bertson's Death.

Shortly after the death of Miss Marguerite
Culbertson of the Chinese mission the state
ment was made that the same was caused by
her being kicked by an inmate of the mission
who at the time was out of her mind, and that
the injury became so aggravated that it in
lime terminated fatally. DR.. Catharine V. c.
Scott, who was the ladys physic an for year,
states that the blow not the cause OF
death. She says that Miss ulber,son was for
the past zen years great sufferer from
stoma chic troubles, but that she never com
planned or told even her mos in innate friends
OF her affiiciion. II was chronic stomachic
troubles, DR.. Scott says, and not the insane
woman's blow, that called the lady away IRON
