First Mile and Finish of the New Year Handicap.

ing game and true at the end downed Barney Schreiber's Sorrow a head. Highland Ball, away from the post badly, made a fine run, finishing close third. Scotch Rose made the run ming to the stretch, where she blew up, as usual.
 At a meeting held by the Board of Stewards of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club some few nights ago it was de- cided to bar all vicious horses from starting. Wm. Murray was notified that Thornhill would not be allowed to face the barrier, and Elano will now be added to the list no doubt after his performance yesterday.
 Barney Schreiber backed Marquise all around the ring and is reported to have won $5000 by her victory.
 The little curtain lecture admins tered to Dick Clawson by the judges evidently did the youngster good. He is now riding in something like his old time form.

the prison officials, and he greeted each of them by wishing them happy new year. He spent most of the day in writing, and kept on turning out page after page of manuscript until we'll into the night. He has been writing ever since he came into the prison, and every Sunday when his father calls on him a big bundle of manuscript is car ried away. No one at the prison knows what his writing is, but it is believed to be history of the celebrated mur- der case in which the doomed man is the central feature. As he was writing early tonight the strains of music were carried on the still night air to his cell. It was a serenade by a quar- tet of female prisoners who occupy quarters not far from the big red building where the murderer is waiting for the march to the gallows. Life Is Ebbing Fast Away" was the song the women sang, and its notes came faint ly into the room where the condemned man sat.
 He dropped his pen when he heard it and sat with his chin on his breast until the last words of the song died away. Then he pushed his paper and pens aside and, taking up his Bible, gazed vacantly at the open leaves for

An Unknown Man Drowned.

The body of an unknown man, evident ly that of a laborer, was found floating in the bay off the Devils Hole" about three-fourths of mile from Hunters Point yesterday afternoon by a man named John Hubacher. The man ap- pears to be about 50 years of age, is all most entirely bald has dark mustache streaked with gray, and was dressed in dark-colored coat and trousers, with a bluish-tinted shirt. A common drinking glass and a piece. of caseknife were found in the water near the body and another caseknife and an awl were in the trousers pockets. The man lay near the foot of a steep bluff, and the sup position is that he was digging pieces of rock out of the bluff for assaying pur- poses when he fell. The man had been in the water for about two days. On the back of an advertising card the name of Schmitt could be deciphered. In the pocket, also, was ticket of the French laundry at 409 Fourth street, numbered 360

upon in the denial of the application for writ of probable cause, and noth- ing but a denial was expected, but there was chance for a delay in it and it served it's purpose for a time The order denying the writ was signed by Chief Justice Beatty, and Justices Temple, Garoutte and Mcfarland. The denial of an application for such a writ, under ordinary circumstances, is cause for an appeal to the Federal Su- the denial may result in another delay by such an appeal.
 Warden Hale has issued 160 invita- tions to peace officers, physicians, newspaper representatives and attor- neys who have prosecuted and de- tended Durrant to witness the appli- cation of the death penalty. The com plete list of those who will receive the cards was made out fully a week ago, and the Warden says no additions will be made to it.
 For the past week every mail re- ceived at the prison has brought a big batch of applications for cards giving admission to the gallows room, and every one of them has been refused. Warden Hale says it will be useless for any one to apply for the coveted cards, as it will be his unpleasant duty to deny them all.
 The cards that were issued on the last occasion when Durrant was so near the gallows will not be honored next Friday. The cards are small, black-bordered paste e-boards, the let tering being done with mimeograph.

The short course steeplechase looked nothing more than a barefaced steal, and these disreputable affairs should find no place on the programme of any legitimate racing organization. Six started, one, the good-thing Reno, fin ishing all by himself. Sliverado, the second choice, was ridden by one jump, and in like manner Captain Rees pass ed another. Esperance finally finished second, and Silverado' turned back and galloped over the course and eventu- ally took third money.
 Misfortune overlook the black colt Oscuro, the to favorite for the mile and a furlong selling run, fifth on the card. Apparently laboring from the start, he broke down at the head of the stretch. San Marco, the second choice, with Thorpe up, headed Walter J as the stretch was reached and stalling off the challenge of the fast-coming Little Cripple, 20 to 1 shot, won by over a length in 1:551s. Show honors went to Walter J.
 J. M. Murphy started in the new year well by taking the six furlong sprint which followed, with George Rose. The colt went to the post 2 to 1 choice over a field of ten, and com

ANNUAL MINT COINAGE.
Uncle Sam Gives oD HccouDt of
 His Yearly Money-Moking.

The December coinage at the San Francisco Mint, as taken from the books, is as follows:
 Double eagles $2,42O,OOO eagles sS47, 300; half eagles $31O. 900; gold, s 3,577 800 Stand ard dollars $450 900, half dollars S6O,OOO, quarter dollars s22 ,S57, dimes $19,0OO; sil- yer. S551, ,S57. Total for the month Of De- cember, s4, ,i29.357.
 The total coinage for the year ending December 31 is as follOws:
 Double eagles s29. .405 900. eagles s2,347 300, half eagles S1 ITO 900; total gold, $S3 ,522 800. Standard dollars s, ,S25, 900. half dollars S466, $50, quarter dollars $135,55 20, dimes $l34 2S4 40; total silver, $6,561 ,791 65. Total of all metals for the year, $40 ,OS4 ,2sl to.
 The coinage during the past year ex- ceeded that of the previous year by s4OO0, 900, and this amount has been only twice exceeded since the United States Mint was established in San Francisco.
 The total number of pieces coined during the year was: Gold, 2.0s9, 900; silver, S,643,973; making a grand total of pieces coined 10, ,702,9 ,973.
 This increases the deposit in Uncle Sam's vaults to a considerable sum. In addition to these figures there is about s4, 900 900 of gold bullion awaiting the coining process; this, as matter of course, will come into next years coinage.

THE SHERIFF'S INVITATION.

nearly an hour. His thoughts were far away from the verses before him. Then he put the book away and. for some time he paced hIs cell before he returned to his writing.
 But while the prisoner slowly counts the hours that separate him from the day: set for his death his attorneys are trying every: legal quirk or quibble in their efforts to. delay the fatal day un- tii they can find more legal points to bring up before the court to ask for more delay. It is all technicality now, but there are lots of technicalities, and there will be more before the sun rises on the date of sentence.
 The Supreme Court has denied the application for a writ of SupersedeaS, but that has not dampened the ardor of counsel for Durrart. They are used to denials of motions and applications, and they see in the denial only another chance for technicalities; the result of their efforts appeared yesterday after noon when Mir. Boardman applied for a new kind of writ; this time it was a writ of error, and on the denial of it, a course which every one is sure will follow, he will apply to the United States Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus. This, too, will be de- nied, and no one expects otherwise, and then there will come an appeal to the United States Supreme Court for a writ or an order or a citation or any thing the judges shall be pleased to give, so long as it stays the execution until another date of sentence has passed.
 It may be that the judges of the lower United States courts will not en- certain the motions of the attorneys but that will be provided for by hay ing man at Washington who will al once bring the matter to the atten- tion of the higher court and so have ! the case heard despite the refusal .o1 the local judges to consider it.
 The writ of supersedeas just denied
 was based upon the general ground that Judge Bahrs had no Jurisdiction in the case, and. therefore. had not ths power to sentence Durraf1t to death l These points had already been passed

nearly dark when the race was run, and, as nobody saw the foul, it was allowed. Under the new ruling Jones was placed second instead of last. The decision suited the western push, as they were all aboard Torsida.
 The start in the opening event. a ix-furlong, selling sprint, was delayed some minutes owing to an accident to H. Martin, who had the mount on So- niro While the horses were lining up at the barrier Elano elevated his heels and caught Martin on the fieshy part of the right leg, cutting deep gash. He was replaced after some delay by Conley Sir Richard and Chappie headed the 11-to-5 favorite, Miss Ross, for a piece when sent away. bus Thorpe soon sent her to the front, and she won cleverly from Soniro. The poorly ridden Towanda, second choice, was third.
 Imp. Tripping, though made 7-to-5 choice for the second event run, six furlong sprint, plainly showed lack of form, and, getting away none too well to a struggling start, finished third. Traverser, second choice in the ring, with Clawson up, led throughout and won with nothing to spare from St. Calatine in 1:1412.

tossed about during the running like a hay scow in a typhoon. Collins went out and made the running until the stretch was reached the second time. and the real pinch commenced. Then it was that tine Corrigan duo moved up. Below the paddock it looked as though they would finish onetwo. Cash Sloan was now hard at work on Marquise, and the mare responded nobly to his asking. A hundred yards from home the daughter of Miser was on equal terms with Can't Dance, and at the wire she won comparatively easily by a head. Can't Dance was second, head before The Bachelor. The Ingleside record for the distance, 3:3415, was reduced to 3:29A.
 "Skeets' Martin will be kept out of the saddle for some time by an acci- dent which happened to him in the first race. With the leg up on Soniro he was kicked by Elano, having a good sized gash cut in his leg.

ANOTHER CANCER CURED.

Interest being aroused by the strik- ing cures of Dr. Chamley, a reporter visited Mrs. G. P. Lee, pleasant lady, at 329 Ellis street. She said:
 T suffered eight years from a deep seated cancer of the breast, reaching to the ribs. After various treatments, with out permanent benefit, I consulted Dr. Chamley, 719 Market street. His treat ment began November 24 and Christ mas I was out and walked six blocks. The cancer was removed without pain, and when it dropped out the circum- ference of the opening was 221a inches. I am gaining strength rapidly" Mrs. Lee can be seen at her residence any evening.

Invitations for the Execution Have Been Issued by the Warden

Durrant, according to the state ments of his guards, has at last real iZed that there is no escape from the gallows. The condemned man several times yesterday in his statements to the three men who are watching him in the death chamber said he would in a few days solve the mystery of the great beyond. The prisoner talked but little to his guards during the day, but when he would converse with them his words were all of the life after the grave.

 After making arrangementS for her reception the stranger said that there was s due on her baggage and asked Mrs. Ford to loan him that amount until he cashed a check for $500, which he showed her. The unsuspecting wo- man gave him the money and he prom ised to call again on the following day. Since then he has not been seen. The police are convinced that he is the man who recently swindled a number of wo- men by similar methods.
