Fed to County Hos

CONTRACTORS ARE ACCUSED
STARTLING DISCOVERY BY IN
SPECTOR WITZEMANN.

The startling discovery was made yes
terday morning by Chief Market In
spector n. T. Witzemann that the in
mates Of the City and County Hospital
were being fed on goats flesh instead of
mutton, as the result of the substitution
by the firm of Hoffman, & Woenne, who
have the contract for furnishing the in
sutution with mutton.
Wttzemann has been recently appointed
ana has proved himself very energetic
IN the performance of his duties and with
that end in view went out to the hospital
TO inspect the meat As he was passing
through the kitchen he detected a pc
cuIlar Odor and asked the cook what II
was The latter replied that il was NUT
ton. Two legs were cooking in the pan
anq hanging close by was another leg
and side, which Inspector Witzemann
Immediately conhscated, having first as
Bured himself that il was goats meat in
stead of mutton Witzemann is of the
opinion that the substitution has been go
ing on for a long time and that the con-
tractors are liable on their bonds
Wit2emann came into town with the
store Of Hoffman, q Woenne, on Market
street near Third, and showed Hoffman
the meat He said.
Honmann, who OF course did not recog-
nize the meat In its dressed condition
as that which he had supplied. but recog-
said;
q, Well, the man who did that ought to
be hOrSewhipped.'
We'll said Witzemann, you're that
man, for that is the meat you have been
furnishing the City and County Hospital
for mutton
Hoffman, realized that he was cleverly
caught, and blurted out:
Il do not know whether it is mutton
or goat But even If 1t is goat, amt it
wholesome"
WItzemann did not discuss the matter
any further, but reported it to Health
officer Lawler, who will bring It up at
the next meeting of the board when some
action will undoubtedly be taken.

RAILROAD MEN
SCRAMBLE FOR
SUTRO'S LINE
Sold to the Suffer-
Street Company.
REASONABLE FIGURE Is PAID
STETSON MADE THE BIDDING
EXTREMELY LIVELY.
REASONABLE FIGURE IS PAID

Adolph Sutro's railroad, the machine
that brought the Market-street Railway
Company to its knees and reduced all the
fares to the beach to cents, has passed
into the hands of the Sutter-street Rail
way Company. Yesterday morning the
Sutro road was placed on sale in Judge
Coffey's court. After spirited bidding for
half an hour R. F. Morrow, president of
the Sutter-street road, triumphed, and
the sale of the property was confirmed to
him for thefsum of $215,000. About S116,000
of this amount will be used for the pur-
pose of liquidating the debts of the Sutro
road however, which were assumed by
Mr.. Morrow by express agreement when
he purchased the road.
When the matter of the sale of the road
was taken up by Judge Coffey yesterday
morning President j. B. Stetson of the
California-street Railway Company put in
a bid of $17S, ,000 an increase of SIS, 900 over
the original bid made by the Sutter-street
company. Attorney Friedenrich, who
represented Mr. Morrow, objected to the
bid on the ground that it was not made
in good faith, and intimated that al
though Mr. Stetson was the president of
the California-street company, he was
bidding for the road on behalf of the
Market-street company. Testimony was
then introduced with the object in view
of showing that the interests of the es-
tate would suffer if the road fell into the
hands of the Market-street company.
Thomas Magee, the well-known real es-
tate agent said that in his opinion an op-
position line TO the beach should be main
tanned if the interests of the Sutro estate
were to be considered, and said
that he believed the estate would profit
if the Sutter-street company came into
possession of the road on a bid $50 600
below that offered by any, other company.
E. B. Pond testified that he offered the
road to Mr. Stetson, but that he refused
to bid. Hence the belief that he repre-
sented the Market-street company during
the sale proceedings in court After Mrs
Merritt had testified that in her opinion
the Callfornia-street company had re-
fused transfer connections during the
building of the road, Mr.. Stetson was
called to the stand. He confessed that
he had once asked H. E. Huntington why
he did not buy the road and had also
conferred with Superintendent Lynch of
the Market-street company; Mr.. stetson
then lost his temper. He said that he had
made bid for the road and was prepared
to pay the amount offered and saw no
reason why he should be catechised.
r. II. Lloyd, who represented the ex-
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-18

ecutors of the Sutro estate. then said that
al ne desired was to protect the interests
OF the estate, and then the court ordered
the sale TO proceed
Attorney Friedenrich then objected to
Mr.: Stetson,s bid on the ground that it
was made too late, but the court held
otherwise. Mr. Stetson's bid is s17s 600 ;. y
said Judge Coffey, do 1 hear any other
oeIfers? Mr.. Friedenrich raised the bid TO
$IeUoOO, and by spurts the amount offered
went up to S2O5,O00 Here Mr.. Stetson
asked Tor continuance that he might
consult his confreres, but it was objected
10. Mr. Stetson then offered S2O6 900. and
the opposing bidder went $4,000 better
Mr Stetson raised the bid $1,000 and then
demanded further time. President Nor
rows legal representative then iunned to
$zoo0o. and the battle was won Stetson
hurried to phone, held a short con-
ference with his hackers, and. returning
into court announced that he had no
further bid to offer. Judge Coffey then
oc6onnflrmed the sale of the road for s2l5,-
9oO, and IT passed into the hands of the
Sutter-street company

An interesting meeting of the Christian
Endeavor Union of Morristown and vic
unity was held in the First Presbyterian
Church on Tuesday evening Rev. Will
lam K Hall D. D.. of Newburg, N. Y,
made short but pleasing address He
spoke extemperaneously and in patriot
ic vein. The speaker called attention
to the necessity of the United States TAX
ing the Philippines. Our duty lies in
that course Expansion as Americans
understand it, means enlargement of
civilization and not of increased terri
tory.
DIR. Hall said that while it was great
to be an American it was greater to be
an American Christian. There never has
been an age in all the history of Christ
tianity when such excellent opportunity
for Christian living as the present day.
No time was known when better type
of Christian character could be formed
and presented to the world. And for
this purpose no place is better than
America.
