SCREENING DOORS
 ' ABOUT THE RUINS
Urgent Necessity of Clearing Away the Baldwin Hotel
 Debris.

The sickening odor of decaying flesh be- came very strong yesterday in the center of the Baldwin Hotel ruins. Several wreckers who intend to bid on removing the debris were surveying the job and they noticed the Jinmistakable scent while in the theater. They investigated, expect ing every moment to discover the unrec- ognizable remains of some, unfortunate. The stench was strongest near the brick wall which separated the hotel rom the theater, but no body. was found. The de bris there is. fully thirty feet in depth, and as the dangerous walls were still standing menace to any one within them no digging was done.
 A suspicious 'odor also arises from the black pile near the corner of Market ana Powell streets, and the friends of Judge John Carter expect to find his mutilated body somewhere in that locality. As far as can be learned he was last seen on the fifth floor above the drug store.
 The wrecking gang which began tearing down the Market-street wall Saturday did not put in an appearance yesterday, and in consequence the crowd which lined the south. side of Market street was deeply disappointed. It had been announced that the Market-street wall would be pulled down yesterday, and when the people saw ropes attached to the girderS on the fourth floor they expected every moment to see the menacing wood and and brick work come tumbllng down. Hundreds waited for hours and, becoming tired and dis guSted, left the scene to newcomers.
 About , o'clock firemen climbed up the main cuDola and turned a stream on a SmOldering fire which was being famed to a blaze by the evening breeze. This di- verted the attention of the spectators for a few minutes.
 No one seems to know when search for bodies will begin, or whether a special search: aside from the wreckers will be allowed The. furniture from the grotto which could be got at was removed yeS- teroay through holes in the sidewalk.

ROW IN A LODGING HOUSE
LOUIS HJoRTH TRIES TO KILL
 O. A. WEST.

In a moment of anger Louis Hjorth, a cook, last night, fired a shot at his broth er-in-law, c. A. West, a longshoreman. That the bullet did not take effect was no fault of Hjorth. He intended to kill West, and when arrested for the offense bitterly regretted that he did not send his relative to the Morgue.
 Both the prisoner and his intended vic tim live at Stevenson street
 Last night West, who was under the in- fiuence of liquor invited his brother-in- law to go with him to a saloon on Market street. They had several drinks together, and as West was scarcely able to navi- gate Hjorth induced him to go home with him.
 After reaching the house West, who is married to Hjorth's sister, proceeded to abuse her. Hjorth interfered and was promptly knocked down by his infuriated brother-in-law. Fearing further violence at his hands Hjorth went to his trunk and got d revolver.
 Just then West entered his room and told him to pray, as he was going to kill him. Thinking he intended to carry his threat into execution, Hjorth pointed the revolver at him and fired. West fell to the floor with groan as if mortally wounded.
 Policeman Donovan was standing only a few feet from the house, and, hearing the shot, quickly entered. On the floor lay West, apparently fatally injured while over him stood Hjorth, with his re- volver pointed at his supposed victim Donovan quickly seized Hjorth, and after a short struggle disarmed him. West then jumped to his feet, and after de- clar1nS that he was not injured started to leave the place.
 Donovan also arrested him, and at the City Prison he booked him for drunken ness. A charge of an assault to commit murder was recorded against Hjorth. The latter claims that West has been in the habit of beating his sister, and as he seemed determined to make her a sub Ject for the Coroner last night, he con- cluded to interfere.
 After l had called him down." said Hjorth, 'he started after me. He first screamed for help he knocked me down When I regained my feet he started after me again, and. thinking he would kill me, got my revolver and fired at him. If thought that he was feigning when he fell l would have fired the remaining shots at him.

SHE SHOOTS HERSELF IN TH]
 LEFT BREAST.

Domestic troubles impelled Mrs. E. T. Furman. a prepossessing young woman,
 to attempt to end her existence yesterday afternoon.
 | In fit of despondency she fired a bull | let into her left breast while her husband
 was in an adjoining room. The deed was
 committed at her home, 321 Fourth
 avenue. A physician was immediately
 summoned, who late last night expressed
 the opinion that the wound was fatal. | Shortly after noon yesterday the
 woman left her home to visit her hus- band, who has an office at Golden Gate
 avenue. What conversation they had will
 never be known, as the husband positively refused to throw any light on the tragic attempt of his wife to commit suicide. It Is known that the couple left the office shortly after 1 o'clock and boarded
 a Geary street car. After reaching thelr
 home Furman entered the parlor and sat
 down. A few minutes later a pistol-shot rang out, and, Suspecting that his wife
 had shot herself, he ran into her room.
 She was lying on the bed with revolver
 tightly clutched in her right hand. Blood
 was flowing from bullet-hole in her left
 breast, and as Furman approached her
 she feebly begged him to go away; Let me die in peace, she remarked as her husband proceeded to stop the flow
 of blood. T know I will be better off in
 the other world''
 from her, Furman went in search of a physician. Meeting Policeman Begley he told him of the tragic occurrence. Beg ley suggested that the wounded woman be taken to the Receiving Hospital. but Thurman refused to allow her to be moved. After considerable trouble he managed to find a physician who lost no time in
 repairing to the house. An examination
 disclosed that the woman was beyond
 medical assistance. The bullet had en. tered the left breast over the heart. and
 passing downward had lodged in the in
 testines. At a late hour last night her I V, .-.I, Tod
 Suspecting something wrong Policeman Begley lost no time in notifying Chief Lees The latter sent one of his detec- tives to make an investigation. After satisfying himself that the woman had shot herself the detective so reported to

Death of Rev. Dr. Platt's Wife.

A message by wire was received by Horace G. Platt last Saturday, announc- ing the sudden death at Petersburg, Va, of his stepmother, Mrs. w. H. Platt. wife of Rev. pr. Platt. She was the daugh- ter of Hon. Kidder Mead of Virginia, who was United States Minister to Brazil dur ing President Buchanan's administration. When the Minister was presented to Elm peror Dom Pedro and the Empress he saluted the latter first and remarked in explanation to the Emperor that in so doing he was honoring a custom of the Virgfnians Mrs. Platt lived In San Fran cisco from 1872 until 1882. The. incident of her fathers mission to Brazil was re- called by Dom Pedro when the latter wis fled this city,
