VELSER SUSPENDED
Fire Department Engineer in a Bad
Predicament

Engineer Jim Velser of engine COM
pany No 4, stationed on Sixteenth street,
is again in trouble. He has been sus-
pended by Chief Moore, and as this is the
third or fourth time that he has been
before the commissioners. it is liable
to go hard with him. Velser, who has
recently married again, has bee living
in rented rooms near the engine house.
A few days ago pet dog belonging to
Mrs. Velser was poisoned and her hus-
band suspected the people in the house
of causing the CANNES death. He then
proceeded to drown his sorrows in drink,
and while under the influence became
very abusive, using insulting language
about the wife of the proprietor of the
house. The husband swore to a ccm-
plant against Velser. charging him
with disturbing the peace, and he was
arrested, but released on BAIL On Thurs
DAY he was about the engine house in a
condition unfit for duty and almost
broke his neck in trying to slid. down
the pole from the dormitor. Assist Chief
Smith happened by at the time and re-
lieved Velser of his badge, and On re-
porting the case to Chief Moore the en-
gineer was promptly suspended. His
case will come before the commissioners
Wednesday.

MAIN STREET PAVEMENT
Conference Between Councilmen and
the Contractors Representative

A short conference was held yeeter-
day morning between Messrs. Nickell
Grider and Mathuss, the special commit
tee of the council appointed to super
wise the work of resurfacing Main street
in accordance with the specifications
and Mr.. Lamson, representing the
asphalt contractors who did the work.
The conference was held in the office
of President Silver, that gentleman being
present, ae was also ex-Councilmar
Munson. Mr.. Lamson wanted to know
what was expected of the contractors,
when Mr.. Nickel on behalf Of the COM
mittee stated that all they could do
would be to see that the work was. done
according to the specifications, as they
had been instructed to do by the council.
The records were then sent for and the
order Of the council was read. Mr.
Nickel then stated that all that was
left for the committee to do was when
the contractors notified them that they
are ready to begin work will be to ap-
point inspectors to see that the work Is
done as directed. Mr.. Lamson wanted
to know If the action of the committee
would be flnal-that is. If the work was
done under their direction whether K
would be accepted. Mr.. Nickel stated
that he thought 1t would. After some
further general talk the conference ad-
journed. 1t is believed that the matter

There Is also another point involved in
this matter outside of the present legal
proceedings. Councilman Grider, on last
Monday, intimated that If any suit was
brought an effort might be made to oust
the present members of the board of
health forthwith, and 1t is understood
that the gentleman already has an or
dinance drawn for that purpose. In the
meantime, the medical association has
taken up the cause of the health board,

BOARD OF HEALTH
The Complication Has at Last Gone to
the Courts

The board of health complication has
at last got into the courts and the most
disturbing element that has developed
during Mayor Snyders administration
appears to be In a fair way of settlement
Late yesterday afternoon w. r. Bacon.
the attorney for the board Of health in
spectors. filed a complaint on behalf of
G.. NJ Wright, one of the inspectors, to
whom the other three have assigned
their claims, to recover the salaries OF
the inspectors for March.
Mr.. Bacon has contended from the first
that there was no question under the
charter as to the legality of the claims
of the boards appointees, and he has
only been anxious to get matters in
shape to get into court. 1, orr er to
simplify matters and avoid laeccessary
delay, the case has been set foi tn at
length In the complaint, so that the
cause may be tried on the pleadings.
Section 1874 of the city charter, which
provides for the appointment of health
inspectors. is quoted in full, and this,
Mr.. Bacon contends. Is the only provision
bearing on the subject.
The complaint then alleges that under
this section the city council in August,
1896. adopted ordinance No. 3s12, fixing
the number and salaries of the health
employees. In March, 1897. council adopt
ed ordinance No. 4101, which is exactly
the same in terms as No. 1912, so far as
the sanitary inspectors are concerned,
but another provision is introduced as
tc their appointment. which is according
to the ordinance to be by council Instead
of the health board This Orflin ance n
is contended, being contrary to the char
ter provision. Is null and void. but under
this illegal ordinance 1t is alleged that
the council has refused to pay the le-
gally appointed inspectors. hence suit
is brought to recover the salaries al
legged to be due.

CORONADO FISHING
Hallbut, Barracuda, Sea Bass and Yellow
tail Becoming Plentiful

Large halibut have been running in the
shadows off the steamship wharf for about
ten days. Spears have been used and f1ne
fish captured. On Wednesday morning
VIII Abernethy speared one weighing
forty-two pounds, and on Thursday and
yesterday he landed several small ones.
Barracuda are now being taken by trolls
in wonderfully large numbers and the fish
are appearing in unusually large schools
near the kelp. The first catch of any note
was scored about ten .Sys ago and the nsh
sold on the street at two bits Zach. Yester,,
day afternoon they were being vendeo al.
over town at 10 cents each. weighing on an
average fifteen pounds.
Yelowtail and sea bass may soon be
expected off the government pier, and sii-
yer trout are almost due inside the bay.
The prospect, therefore, is uncommonly
bright for business and sport in every line
piscatorial. The anglers will be pleased
to know that the contractor for the Zunin-
ga jetty has nailed down an additiona,
timber on the north side, SO that pedes-
trians can now walk with comfort and Sc
curity as far out as the first halibut ground.
The walkway is about thirty inches wide
and extends a distance of nearly mile
from the shore.

Merit Wins.

The invention of Aiabastine marked a
new era in wall coatings. and from the
standpoint Of the building owner was a
most important discovery. 1t has from a
small beginning branched out into every
country of the civilized world. The name
"kalsomlne" has become SO offensive to
property owners that manu- acturers OF
cheap ka!somine preparations are now
calling them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine compa-
ny's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal. use, the merits of the durable Ala
bastine are SO thoroughly known that the
people insist on getting these goods and
will take no chance of spelling their walls
for possible saving of at the most but q
few cents Thus it is again demonstrated
that merit wins. and that manufacturers
of first-class articles will be supported by
the people.
