 There was a shoe peddler at the back door trying to sell Katie McGiVney, the housemaid, pair of shoes" she said. T had bought q pair from him a few days previously, and the kind he was trying to sell her were not the same nor as good as he had given me. To convince him of that 1 went to my room to get them and show him the difference. When l opened the door 1 noticed rocking chair near the foot of the bed moving. l thought 1t strange, and looked to see what caused it.. and close to the rocker and just under the foot of the bed was a mans tan-col- ored shoe.
 II looked under the bed and saw a man there and asked him what he was doing. He replied that he was in the house to examine the gas meter. I thought he was in strange place for that, and 1 ordered him out. He refused to come, and l caught hold of his foot and pulled him half way from his hiding place. when he promised that he would come out himself. As soon as he was clear of the bed and on his feet 1 caught him by the throat and

to lay mains until such time as the streets are graded.
 Another complaint goes forth that the children who live on the side of the hill are compelled to walk mile to the near est school building. A primary classroom Is asked for at Potrero and Costa streets, where these children could attend, but so far the Directors have turned a deaf ear to the entreaties of the parents in this re- gard.
 Some of the streets are being paved pfecemeal and in worse condition than they were before they were com menced. Bryant street is instanced as being one of those Here the wooden sewer that answered a purpose has been torn out and the sipage from the City and County Hospital as also from the private residences is permitted to drain into vacant lot, endangering the health of the entire community. As a result of this several suits are about to be com menced against the city by residents of the infected section. Scarcely a week passes but delegation from either the Supervisors or the Health Department from the City Hall visits the place in re- sponse to petition, but the visits are barren of any good that the people can see so far.
 Smarting under what they deem wrong toward them as citizens and tax payers, they are becoming terribly in earnest in their protests for a general line of improvement right through the entire valley.

SOCIETY AND THE STAGE.
Both We'll Represented at the Benefit
 for the Eye and Ear Hospital.

Society and the Stage joined hands last evening at the residence of Mrs. R. Jen- ming for the purpose of devoting their talent towards increasing the fund for the erection of a new ward at the Cali fornia Eye and Ear Hospital on Sutter street.
 If numbers count the object in view is to be shortly realized, as the entertain ment was a success in this particular, as in many others. The exact amount real ized on the venture is not as yet definite ly known, but it is calculated that many a golden eagle passed into the hands or the doorkeeper.
 The programme consisted of a little of everything from a theatrical standpoint and way of amusement, and many pro fessional actors were seen to good aQVan. tage in original sketches.

NO KLoNDIKE FOR HIM.
Thomas J. Murphy, Driver of a Brewery Wagon, Meets With
 Misfortune

Thomas J. Murphy, the driver of wagon for the Jackson Brewery, met with a serious accident yesterday morning. He had driven his team to a saloon at Eighth and Market streets, and after delivering his beer jumped on the wagon. His whip fell to the ground, and in doing so struck one of the horses, and the team started his seat, slipped and fell, his right leg extending under the wheels, which passed over It.
 The team ran as far as Market and Nc Allister streets, where it was stopped. Murphy was taken to the Receiving Hos pital, where Dr. Well found that he had sustained a compound comminuted frac- ture of the leg. Murphy had made prepa- rations to leave soon for the Klondike. as he was the winner of the first prize in the Posts contest

mestic in the employ of E. s. Rothchild, at 2l0S Jackson street. caught a burglar yesterday Ii was a burglar the police have been hunting for several weeks with their most skilled detectives, and 1t was a great satisfaction to them to have the man in custody, even though a woman handed him over to them a prisoner. Miss Duane had a lively tussle with her cap tive before he surrendered, and she held him fully half an hour until policeman arrived. In the fight with the burglar for supremacy Miss Duane nearly choked the life out of the man, who struggled with her for freedom, and when she gave her prisoner over to the police the burglar was without a collar or tie. His shirt band had been torn and all the buttons of his vest were scattered over the floor
 His coat was ripped up the back and he was a physical wreck. When the police man arrived he had given in to the supe- rior strength of his captor and he was sprawled on the floor, fearful to move

 Among the residences robbed by Grant, alias Garland, is that of H. F. A Schuss- Ter, 1905 Van Ness avenue. where about $l000 worth of jewelry was taken. That was on March 25. On March 2S the resi- dence of Mrs. Hecht was entered by the bogus gas inspector and about $500 worth of goods taken. The same robber gained entrances into the residences of E: $. Heller, 1901 California street, and J. Koshland, 1908 Pine street.
 w. E. H. Williams. the general mana ger of the Electric Gas Regulator Com- pany, characterizes the certificate used houses that he has burglarized as for gery. It is the custom of the company to issue cards of Identification to it's inspec- tors, and Grant had one of these, but he managed to destroy it. The inspectors are also required to wear badge, as this ensures a double protection to the com panys patrons.
 When arrested Grant had upon him one of the company's agreement blanks, which Is signed with the address of the person making application for a regu- lator to be attached to their gas fixtures This agreement had upon it the name of H. Lydan Sr., and upon the part of the company was signed by R. F. WilI> iams
 of Identification and the badge worn by our employees, they are required to pre- sent the agreement blank which Is signed at our office by the person desir- ing the regulators attached. Any one would know their own signature, and this we do to prevent fakirs from passing themselves off as our employees. l do not know how the boy secured the agree ment blank. We are continually warn ing our patrons to look out for these fakirS, and we take every precaution that we can to guard against them. Grant has worked the same scheme at every house that he has entered, and we have been trying for some time to catch him. We were aware that he had forged card and had warned people against him"

RACING SEASON SIXTY DAYS. Supervisors Committee Decide Upon
 Report to That Effect.

After being under consideration for more than two months the period of the racing season within the city and county of San Francisco was decided yesterday by the special committee of the Board Of Supervisors, to whom the matter mad been referred.
 There was under consideration the res olution offered by Supervisor Clinton fix ing the neriod at forty-eight days. H. j Crocker appeared before the committee on behalf of the Pacific Jockey Club and argued for an extension of the season. He declared that the club was in favor of the abolition of the poolrooms, but did not think that short season of rae ing in this city would have the effect of closing them, as races could be run at Oakland, San Rafael and other points.
 After some further discussion between the members of the committee, which consisted of Supervisors Clinton. Smith and Rivers, 1t was decided by vote of two to one to extend the racing season to sixty consecutive days in each year, exclusive of Sundays. Smith voted against the resolution. which will be re- ported to the Supervisors on Monday

A notable capture was made yes terday. It involved special daring on the part of the lady captress; a mystery finally solved as to the iden- tity of the captive, and, last, the suc- cessful running down of aninsidious- ly dangerous kind of a burglar-no less than the bogus "gas inspector" ," who has been preying for weeks upon unsuspecting householders on both sides of the bay.
