HIS COSTLY FINGERS.
Frank Rosa Asks $4,000 for Three
From National Casket Co.

A suit of Frank Rosa to recover $1,000
from the National Casket Company of
Hoboken for the loss of three fingers of
his left hand is being tried in the Cir
cult Court today before Judge Nevius.
Rosa was put to work operating a cir
cular saw on November 3, last year.
The saw was operated by steam power.
Rosa got along all right the first day,
as he had only large boards to handle.
The next day he was given some smaller
pieces of board to saw, n his fingers
were cut off.
Lawyer Alexander Simpson, who APP
peared for the plaintiff, claimed that the
company was responsible, because Rosa
was not warned of the dangerous char
acter of the saw. Lawyer Carrick, who
represents the defendant, will aliege con-
tributory negligence.

BOLTER MAGUIRE.

+ the rank and file OF party take to themselves
the privileges claimed and exercised by Judge
Mcguire for nearly twenty years there would be
no such thing party cohesion or responsibility.
Beginning his public as a Republican place
holder in the City Hail. in 1879 he joined the sand
letters and aided in wrecking the Democratic party.
Just now his supporters in full cry against the
Harvey Democracy because it insists upon giving the
people voice in party management. Mcguire IS
pulling the string to his centicephalic jumping
jack the committee of one hundred. When he was
sandlotting he was opposed to committees entirely
He Endorsed that celebrated dictum of his leader
Denis Kearney who began his speech against the
Democratic County Committee by saying: Cit
zens How was Rome ruled? Was it by county
committay?
In 1880 the Judge was greenbacker In 1884 he
was one OF those instrumental in the defeat of Has
tings the Democratic candidate for Congress- in the
Fourth District
In 1896 he organized and managed labor party
in San Francisco, in partnership with that laborous
idler Carl Browne, which beat the Democracy and
elected Republican County Clerk. At the same
election he and Barry put up independent candi-
date again in the Fourth District and beat the regular
Democrat McCoppin, who was one. of the best
Mayors the city ever had and who would have been
Congressman to be proud Of In 1888 Mcguire
supported partisan ticket in this city to defeat
the regular Democracy. His Nom Partisan party in
dorsed the Republican candidate for Congress
in the Fourth District and thereby beat Judge
Robert Ferra, the regular Democratic candidate
By his bolt that year he elected Republican Sheriff,
Clerk, Recorder and Tax Collector
He lodged in and out of the Democratic party
at will. In 1887 he published his celebrated letter
permanently Withdrawing from Democracy State
and national giving his that it did not in
dorse the confiscaton of land in private ownership
He now takes the position that he is the only
honest in the Democratic party and that it can
not be trusted to hold primary in San Francisco
His committee OF one hundred appointed a delega-
ton to make his nomination sure. When the Har-
ney delegation, elected at open primary, fell at
his feet and wanted the one word from him that
would have admitted it to the State convention he
put his heel its neck and refused to enfranchise
it, though humby promised its support to his can
didacy
Having chased every political rainbow that has
been in the last twenty years. having been by
turns greenbacker, gold standard man, free sill
verite, and advocate OF "a more and fttener
currency according to the Populist idea, his hope
of an election be in the party which he bolted
and defeated year after year and in the voters whose
opinions he has held and abandoned
