KILLED BY 4
 FREIGHT ELEVATOR
Unfortunate Accident to Super intendent Lorenzo Lapham
 on a Sidewalk Lift.
Took a Desperate Chance Despite the Warnings of the Architect and
 9th CTS Near Him.

Lorenzo Lapham superintendent of the Claus Spreckels building, lost his life yesterday afternoon by a most unfortu- nate accident
 He incautiously experimented with the freight elevator which runs from the Third street sidewalk to the pressrooms in the basement, and when a friendly warning was given him he lost his pres ence of mind, pulled the wrong rope and was pinned against a joist in the side walk.
 He had been warned just before he got upon the elevator that the doors in the sidewalk were closed and that the ex- pertinent which he was about to under take was dangerous one; but he in sisted that there was no danger and pro ceeded on his journey to death.
 The unfortunate man was killed in stantly. When the body was examined by pr. John Gallagher 1t was found that the chest and abdomen were crushed.
 The deceased was the superintendent of construction of the building ever since work was begun upon it, and at the time of his sudden taking off he was acting as superintendent.
 w. B. Hinchliffe, foreman of The Call pressrooms, was one of several persons who witnessed the accident. MT. Hinch- life says that about five minutes past 2 o'clock Architect Merritt Reid, H. J. Walters and himself were standing in the pressroom by the street elevator let into the sidewalk on the Third street side of the building, and he made a suggestion to the architect that the chain holding up the apron leading to the ink platform should be done away with.
 MT, Reid proposed to measure the same snd stepped upon. the elevator to raise it about six feet from the ground and Hinchliffe asked him not to go up, as the doors over the elevator were closed.
 MT. Lapham, who stood behind eating an apple, wanted to demonstrate that there was no danger. So he stepped on the elevator himself and started to oper- ate it. Both MT. Reid and the foreman warned him not to go up, but MT. Lap ham proceeded. He started the elevator slowly. and as it was not going fast enough he opened the valve apparently by mistake, because he did not intend to go more than half way. He had pulled the wrong cord, and evidently made an attempt to jump off and was caught in the sidewalk girder.
 The deceased resided at 1909 Union street, and leaves a widow and children.

A CHINESE RETREAT.
The Six Companies Blew Hot and Cold Within a Week and Now
 There Is Peace.

About week ago Chinatown was placarded with posters to the effect that as that class of Chinese which professes to be Christians had refused to con- tribute to the educational fund of the Chinese Six Companies for the support of the Chinese National School In this city, their children would be no longer received at the school. These placards purported to have been signed by the Chinese Six Companies, and no public announcement was made to the contrary until last pudiated the authorship of the placards, and promised to pay a liberal reward for the discovery of the alleged forger.
 The posters were torn down and others substituted stating that the former ones were forgeries. and that the school was open to all Chinese children, irrespective of the religion professed by them or their parents.

HINTON TO BE
 COMMISSIONER Governor Budd Selects Him for the Rail-
 road Board. The Appointment Will Be Off, cially Announced Within
 a Few Days.
w. P Lawlor Was Offered the Posi- ton of Registrar, but
 Declined It.

The vacancy in the Board of Railroad Commissioners caused by the death of Dr. James l. Stanton will be filled within the next few days by Governor Budd. Although the Governor has not yet made public the name of his choice, it is we'll known by those with in the inner circle of Democratic poli- tics that he has chosen William M. Hinton, the present Registrar of Vot- CTS, for the place. The delay in an- nouncing Hinton's name is due to the fact that Governor Budd has not found a successor to Hinton in the Registrars office.
 Registrar Hinton has already been apprised of his coming appointment, but contrived to keep the matter quiet for the present. He commenced yes terday to arrange his affairs in the Registrars office. He gathered up all his personal effects and is ready to turn the office over to his successor on five minutes notice.
 The appointment of Hinton will prove a great disappointment to the friends of James H. Barry, editor of the Star. They have worked hard and increasingly to secure the place for him and believed they had the fight won. though Barry himself said he knew he could never get the place.
 It. is not known who will succeed Hinton in the Registrars office. The Governor had w. P. Lawlor, who led the silver forces during the last cam paign, in view. In fact, John Markley, who is secretary of the State Board of Examiners was commissioned by the Governor to see Lawlor and offer him the place. Lawlor positively and firmly declined to accept the appoint ment There is a score of Democratic politicians anxious to preside over the Registrars office, but as yet the ap- pointing power has not been able to make a selection.
