ALEXANDER STAIR DEAD.
One More of the Early Pioneers
Called Away Forever.

Death has claimed another of Califor-
MAS pioneers in the person of Alexander
Stair, who died last Friday at his resi-
dence, 1921 Clay street. The deceased was
well known among the business men of
this city for a number Of years. He was
one of c. S. Laumeisters bookkeepers in
the milling business during the past fif-
teen years, and prior to that time he had
been engaged in a similar capacity by
Deming, Palmer & Co. in their mills on
Sacramento street.
The deceased was born in York, Pa.
seventy-one years ago, and arrived in San
Francisco June 10. 1S49. From here he
moved to Tuolumne County, where, like
many more of the early arrivals, he took
q turn at mining but not finding the
mother lode he returned to San Fran
cisco, where he became a resident. Dur
ing 1.-The incumbency of c. S. Laumeister
as Sheriff of this city he served as com
missary of the Comfy Jails.
The funeral will take place from St
Luke's Episcopal Church on Van Ness
avenue to-day.

THE ALAMEDA TAX LEVY.
It Will Probably Be Fixed by the
Trustees at ST O5 on the 500.

ALAMEDA, Sept. 24.-The Board of
City Trustees met last evening as a COM
mittee of the whole to discuss the fixing
of the tax levy. The estimates were sub
mitted as already published, and it was
found that they would require levy of
81 II in order to raise the amounts asked
by the various departments The figures
OF the actual expense of running the gov
eminent, 1t was found, could be reduced
to point that would make the levy 81 05.
This would allow nothing for betterment
and would include only the actual cost of
each departments operations. The rate
of 81 % would make the total tax rate
the same as last year-s1 %. The city
rate was 81 y, but the county and State
rate this year is Z cents more than last,
making the total the same. 1t is reported
that the trustees will attempt to reduce
the rate to 81, but 1t is not apparent how
this be done without impairing the
efficiency of some of the departments.
Considering the population and the many
conveniences enjoyed, the cost Of the city
government is not large.

A HEROIC RESCUE.
How Arthur Downey and Frank

OAKLAND, Sept. PA dual act Of
bravery and saving of life in the estuary,
which occurred few days ago, has just
leaked out, Notwithstanding the modesty
of Arthur Downey and William Scott, the
two heroes. A lad named Frank Moffltt,
residing at Central avenue and Webster
street, Alameda, and Arthur Downey of
this city, two boys, were fishing off Web
ster street bridge, when the first named
fell into the water. Downey jumped in to
rescue him and after several attempts he
succeeded in bringing Moffitt to the sur
face of the water. The latter, however
apparently desperate, fought against
Downeys efforts to save him. Soon both
lads were so weakened that watery
grave for both seemed inevitable. Fortu-
nately for both, at this junctiure William
Scott came to their rescue. He jumped
in and Selling Downey by the hair, while
the latter was also in the grasp of Moffitt,

HEALTH OFFICERS REPORT.


The annual report of Health officer Le-
Hardy may be sent the mayor by Jan. Is.
and it may not Notice has been given
that the mayor expects the report by that
time, but the health officer claims the
force OF his Office has been curtailed I'M
til he does not expect to be able to comply
with the mayors request.
The health officer recognizes the fact
there is not vital relation existing be-
tween his and other departments of the
city government and this idea is not al
together untenable, in view of the mayors
recent action in cutting two men from the
health department. Speaking of the mat
ter he said:
Two men have been cut from my office
and L will probably be unable to get out
my report in time on account of the fact
the men released were badly needed and
particularly al this time. Messrs. John
Dlnon and Marcus Lowenthal were releas-
ca recently, but not until l had called the
attention OF the mayor to the fact they
were there and asked his consent to retain
them until my annual report was COM
pleted. The men should have been cut
from the department in November, but
attentton until | asked his permission to
Keep them until 1 could complete my re-
part. Then it was he sent me notice to
dismiss them.
realizing the fact his action will retard
matters, have sent a request to the NAV
or asking that the men be engaged again,
at least for few days. To this commu-
nlcauoh, nave not yet received a reply.
II the mayor Declines however to allow
the men to return, / shall not consider it
my fault if the report is late in reaching
his office"
incidentally speaking of the report the
health officer said he would give all credit
OF the recent quarantine to others, and
stated it was still his idea that the quar-
anime was not necessary, and only para
lyzed the commercial interests of the city
without reason. He said he never advocat-
ed 1t, and believed it useless in view of
the conditions then prevailing.
THAT part of my report which will be
better than any before is in the number
of vessels coming to this port as against
the number which come when the old
quarantine regulations were in vogue"
he said. THE point gained over the old
regulations is in the amount of time YES
sells are delayed at the station. This fact
alone accounts for one hundred more YES
sells coming to the port than at any time
under the old regulations. improvements
are recommended at the quarantine sta
ton, and if they are made 1 can agree
to detain no vessel more than three days,
and probably not that long. These regu-
lations l consider the most important mat
ters in the jurisdiction of the health de-
partment for the reason that the COM
merce of the port is affected"
Much interesting data will be embodied
in the report, among which will be that
relating to population, the number of
~
information, which will be valuable to the
different departments in many respects.
Whether the men are allowed or not, it
is expected to have the report completed
by Jan. 20 at the outside, when it will
be submitted in due form TO the mayor.

WANTS HIS Gun BACK.
Constable Captured Fugitive's
Weapon and Held on to 1t.

" e@tDOh On u 1t
A possessory warrant was issued by Jus
tice Bevans yesterday to recover a shot
gun from a city justice, claimed to be the
property of John Habersham, a negro liv-
ing at Woodsville.
Constable Gilliard went to Understands
house recently for the purpose of arrest
ing him. Habersham was wanted for an
assault, and, as previous attempts to get
him had failed, the officer determined to
make a search. After going partially
through the house the officer was stopped
by Understands wife, who appeared with
q gun and threatened to shoot him if he
did not vacate. The officer continued
however and the woman became so abb
strusive that he had to take charge of the
gun. 1t was brought to the city and left
at the Justices Office
Habersham now wants the gun and as
there was a warrant at the Justices office
for him, he felt insecure in venturing there
without legal process. The possessory
warrant was therefore obtained from JUS
tice Bevans and the case will be tried this
afternoon.
