Plenty Of Patriotism.
An Exciting Event and a Great
Uproar.

Last Tuesday was . day never to be
forgotten by the people of Garrett. 1t
was a day when number of our best
young men bade goodbye to home and
friends and went to Topeka to enlist as
soldiers in the war for the freedom and
liberty of the Cubans--a war in Human
ity's cause. 1t was sad day for the
parents, wives, sisters and sweethearts
of the boys, but their hearts were filled
with patriotism, and they bravely bade
goodbye to home and friends, and went
away in answer to their country's call
1t had been announced that our boys
would leave on the X, N. & d. road for
Topeka, so when Company Gs cannon
doomed, the people gathered at the depot
to see the boysgo. Soon, the band left the
armory, followed by the young soldiers
who were led by Captain p. d. Barndt,
of this city, and Capt Chas. Christy, OF
Burlington. Captain Barndt did not CO.
and the boys became members of Captain
Christy's company, which was composed
of men from Anderson, Coffey and Wood
son counties. The soldiers marched to the
depot and filed along the platform, where
they shook hands with all who could get
to them.
Shortly before the train arrived, Judge
Schoonover was called for, and he mount
ed chair and made short speech, full OF
patriotism and encouragement. Then
the train pulled out amid the booming OF
cannon, the cheers of the crowd and the
waving of flags and handkerchief,
-
1t became known that company from
Pittsburg and Girard, under command OF
Capt Henry Orwig, would go up over
the Santa Fe, in the afternoon. Long
before train time, the depot and platform
were crowded with people who wanted
to see Captain Orwig, who is an old Gar
nett boy, and has host of friends here
As the train pulled in, the band played
and the cannon doomed. Captain Orwie
was standing on the platform of the fore
most coach, and he was pulled OIL by
friends who grasped his hands. The PEG
pie fairly climbed over each other to get
to shake hands with him. A procession
headed by Judge Schoonover pushed its
way through the crowd, and the Judge
presented the Captain with huge bou
auet of beautiful flowers. Then the train
pulled out, and it was with difficulty that
Captain Orwig pulled himself away from
his friends and boarded the train.

 Street in the Near Future.
PRESENT ABODE INADEQUATE
IN PATIENTS BRINGS
 ABOUT A CHANGE.

Within the next half year the Mount Zion Hospital will move into a modren two-story building which Is to be built on lot owned by the well-known asso- citation at 2313 Sutter street.
 The erection of such a building has been made necessary by the increasing number of patients that have been pouring into the present hospital at 9G Sutter street. Since November 1 of last year to Septem- Der 1 of the present year 113 patients have been cared for. Of this number ninety nine were Jews and the remainder Gen. tiles. Although forty-eight surgical oper- ations were performed, but one death en- sued.
 Owing to the insufficiency of beds great many patients have been refused ad- mission, and this decided the dirctors to erect a larger building.
 At the initial meeting of the building committee, which is composed of E. Raas (chairman), J. A. Goldman, w. Castle President Joseph Brandenstein, pr. Ju- lius RoSenstirn and Dr. c. G. Levison ex-off1cio members. it was agreed that the building should be a two-story one, containing fifty beds, an operating room were submitted by a number of archi- tects, but none have been chosen as yet The lot on which the structure is to stand Is S7:6 by 1T:6.

expense of the membership of the two orders, which contributes small sum monthly to carry on the good work. Not only have those who attend at the tent given aid and comfort to the sick soldiers who are Foresters, but they have assisted all volunteers who have needed their aid. And in addition they have furnished wholesome food to men who are not on the sick list. but who have called at the tent, which is located near the terminus of the Presidio line of cars, and declared that they were hungry.
 A committee was appointed to visit the soldiers who are located at the camp at Fort Point, where to-day there will be sleven companies, eight of the Sixth ln- Iantry and three of the Eighth, to ascer- tain if there are any Foresters in the sev,, eral companies and if they are in need or assistance This committee will report al the next meeting, and if there IS any need steps will be taken to provide for them as we'll as for those who are located nearer the tent. The committee is com- posed of MeSsrs. Label, Trautner, Figel, Calman and Atwood.
 Next Friday night the association will give an entertainment in the Social Hall or the Alcazar for the purpose of securing additional funds to enable it to expand and continue the work of relief in which II IS engaged, and the several courts and circles have been asked to take tickets. number of them have responded to the appeal. It was stated that a gentleman who visited the tent yesterday, not 8 to ascertain for himself what the asso- ctation was doing, was so we'll pleased with the result of his inquiry that he sug- gested that some public entertainment along. When told that such was to be given he at once purchased Y6 worth of tickets. He declined to give his name. saying that it was enough that he should a movement that was carried on to help the boys in blue.

as faithful to-day to the party of prog ress and prosperity as it was loyal to it's country in its hours of need, still there was a great necessity that they should be better organized for active work By do- ing this much good to the Republican party could be accomplished, and in order strong campaign committee, to whose hands much of the work must be com mitted.
 On motion of Judge H. D. Talcott of Oakland the commander-in-chief was em- powered, with such others of the council he might select, to confer with the Re- publican State Central Committee as to the best methods of conducting the cam paign, and for this purpose a conference will be held to-day.
 In order to prevent irresponsible and money from candidates and the public generally the following resolution, offered by General Edward S. Solomon, was unanimously adopted:
 chief of the Army and Navy Republican League be and he is hereby Instructed to give public notice through the press of this city whenever he deems it necessary and expedient that no parties are author ized by this organization to collect funds for this league, and that persons claim ing to represent this organization and to have authority to collect funds for the same are impostors."

A DANGEROUS BRIDGE. A. W. Gale, With His Wife and Two Children, Thrown Out of
 Buggy

An accident occurred to A. w. Gale, who resides at $40 Alabama street, yes terday evening at g o'clock, which, fortu- nately, did not terminate in anything more serious than series of scalp wounds to Mir. Gale and some slight bruises to two children and the smashing of buggy in which Gale and his family were riding. The little party was re- turning from a days outing down the road. and when crossing the bridge at the foot of College Hill, which is over 1slais Creek, a milk wagon came laundering down the incline behind the buggy, and in crossing the bridge upset the buggy and threw the occupants out on the road way. Police Officers James F. Dennan and W. King, who were on duty in the vicinity, on hearing the screams of a the Gale family in a heap on the road The patrol wagon was summoned and Officer J. A. Beiyea was dispatched from the Seventeenth street station. On his store on Mission and Twenty y-ninth streets where it was found that Mrs. Gale, had received, several scalp wounds, besides being badly shaken up by, her fall. The two children who were of the party received some slight bruises about the limbs. The husband and father es- smashed into kindling wood. The driver of the wagon that did all the mischief drove off as fast as the horses could be made to travel.
 This is not the first accident that has occurred at this place. The attention of the Supervisors has been directed to the unsafe condition of the bridge. In its pres ent condition 1t is one of the most dan gerous spots on the Mission road.
 In addition to being old and rot ten, is in such a condition as to make 1t dangerous to the life and limb of the many persons who are compelled to cross 1t either on foot or in teams. This unsafe condition Is brought about owing to the entertainments on both sides of the car track having been washed away in to the bed of the creek. Teams are compelled to drive on the center of the roadway and on the car track while crossing. This is a risky undertaking during the night time, when the cars are running at full speed, as there is an incline on the road way both from the east and west to- ward the bridge which makes it difficult to stop the cars when running fast.
 The sum of $100O0 was appropriated a few years ago to build a steel bridge over this creek. but the City Hall politi- clans found other use for this money and consequently the bridge was left to take care of itself.
 The property owners in this portion of the city are anxious to have the Ingle- side road lighted by electricity and a suitable schoolhouse built for the use of the children, who are now housed in old unsanitary cowsheds.

Worth, Amos Currier, J. c. Terrill, B. F. Mckinley and J. H. Woodward, who were recognized as active members of the party in the district.

The members were entertained by speeches by Major c. W. Kyle, Oscar c. Lewis and others.

THE LABOR COUNCIL.
A Movement to Increase the Con-
 sumption of Home Products.

At the meeting of San Francisco Labor Council last night Andrew Furuseth of the Sailors Union reported that the Ship Owners Association has for the past month or more been making determined effort to man their vessels with cheap crews. Hundreds of negroes, Japanese, Spaniards and Portuguese have been shipped to points along the coast chiefly to Eureka. to man coastfng vessels. These mixed crews are not considered as trust worthy as the white men, and will work for less money. The matter was dis cussed generally, but no action was taken.
 MT. Clapp of the Musicians Union in- troduced 8 resolution to have lists pre- pared of all the business houses handling union made goods. Each month diff ferent trade will be taken up, and the delegates and members of subordinate unions furnished with complete lists of houses selling or manufacturing union made goods of that particular variety. As a number of delegates were absent, no action was taken, but the proposition was looked upon favorably by all present. The idea is to stimulate the consumption or homemade products whenever they bear the stamp of the trades union
