CABLE SYSTEM
IN THE BAY
Will Be Utilized for
Harbor Defense.

SUPERVISED THE WORK.
Army Headquarters Are Now Con-
nected With the Preside, Angel
and Alcatraz Islands by
Telephone.

CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER GREENE
SUPERVISED THE WORK.

Captain F. Greene chief signal officer
for the Department of California, has just
supervised the successful laying OF sys-
tenn of a three-conductor submarine tele-
graph and telephone cable for harbor de-
tense in the bay Of San Francisco, at
cost of $25 600 The cable is designated as
a United States military one, and con-
meets the Presdio wharf with Point Ca
vaIlo and Horseshoe Bay, tide gauge
wharf at Lime Point reservation with the
post of Angel Island, and Point kno on
Angel Island with Alcatraz Island wharf.
Captain Greene, in speaking about tbs
work yesterday, said:
This cable system will be Of great con-
venience in time of peace as well as war
for it will connect all the batteries for the
harbor's defense under one head. BY its
means the department commander VIII De
able to direct the fire of the inner and
outer batteries against any enemy APP
/ proaching the Golden Gate. While the
cables will only be used in that direction
in time of war or for drill, they will be
/ great convenience in time Of peace, for
/ communication may be had win every
/ post from army headquarters. Ihe caple
/ is so arranged that il the telephone line
! Is overcroWded or out or order the tele-
/ graph can be used, and the system Will
/ be operated entirely by the Signal Corps
MANY years ago there was such cable
I here but in course Of time 1t became de-
/ cayed and disarranged. l have tried since
/ 1894 to get the system rehabilltated, but
( was unsuccessful until the war broke out,
and now ! am greatly pleased that the
harbor is so well equipped. There are
three cables of about $500 yards each
When we commenced the work, which
took two days, l had two reels Weighing
Sc 600 pounds each one at the Preside
and the other at Second-street wharf.
With a gang of experienced men the re-
suits were Of the best. The weather was
in our favor. and altogether it was a
pretty piece of work
The department will now communicate
with the Harbor and Pilot Commissioners
of this port to the end that the vicinity
of the cables may be declared publicly a
forbidden ancorage for all vessels, in ad-
dition to the prohibitions and penalties
provided by an act of Congress"

a BILL TO PROTECT
OWNERS OF HORSES
TO BE PRESENTED BY MASTER
HORSESHOERS.
It Will Compel All Workmen to Have
Duly Attested Certificate of
Qualification.

The Master Horseshoers Association OF
this city has prepared a bill to be pre-
scented at this session of the Legislature
regulating horseshoeing throughout the
State.
This bill, which is on the same lines as
laws in other States, provides first, for
the appointment of a board of examiners,
consisting of one licensed veterinary sur
geon. two master horseshoers and two
tourneymen horseshoers. 1t is to be the
duty Of this board to examine all appli-
cants for certificates as master or jour
neymen horseshoers and TO issue certit-
Gates TO those who prove by practical
and thorough test that they are compe-
tent TO shoe horses.
The bill is to become a law immediate
" upon its passage. All masters or jour-
neymen who have been actively engaged
in the business for q period of four years
prior to the passage of the act are exempt
from examination.
The bill has been Endorsed by almost
every branch of the Master Horseshoers
Association in the State and the sigma
lures of a number of old practical horse
shoers in this city have been obtained.
The bill is designed both for the protec-
ton of the horseshoer who has raised his
business to an almost exact science and
the customer who has valuable horses to
be shod 1t is stated that more horses are
ruined annually by bad shoeing than in
any other way.

were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The existing rates at which
water is supplied to rate-payers residing
outside the limits of the corporate
cities of this county by the Contra
Costa and Oakland Water Companies are
excessive and far beyond all equality of
comparison as to what a reasonable rate
would be to enable the companies TO real
lie a profitable return on their invest
ments, and also having every reason to
contemplating to advance the rates be-
yond the present excessive figures, and,
whereas there is such difference In
the rates charged on water for pub
consumption, and believing that an
equitable adjustment of this difference
can be made; therefore, be it

The result OF the derailing OF switch

The accident was caused by the same

The throwing Of the switch after the

accident. At this point the switch ope-
rates broad and narrow gauge tracks to
accommodate the two systems that run
up TO Fourteenth street. One of tbs
tracks is broad and the other narrow

rightly the broad gauge train will be

came alarmed over the mans con-

he had received the wounds.

tive McGeough said he had heard
of the death of Billy Geimann of
the Police Department, which oc-

fed that McGeough. after worrying
over the death of Corporal Geimann,
vainly endeavored to commit sui
eide by slashing his throat with a
penknife.
McGeough begged that his wife be
sent for, as he feared he was about
TO die. She was found in the late
residence of Geimann, consoling the
latter's widow AS McGeough's
wife entered the ward where her
husband lay seriously injured he
arose from his cot, and pointing to
a citizen who had dropped in to see
another patient, declared that that
man had cut him. His wife. EVIL

himself, ordered him to shut up"
McGeough is a cousin of ex-Su-
pervisor Sheehan. The latter Wis
tied him in the hospital and vainly
endeavored to induce him to tell
why he had cut himself. A drunken
soldier who was with McGeough
when he inflicted the wounds upon
himself was arrested q short time
after the would-be suicide was
taken to the Receiving Hospital and
locked up in the City Prison. He
was too drunk to give his name.
1t is said that McGeough and the
soldier met yesterday afternoon
and visited a number of saloons in
the Tenderloin district. Just before
McGeough slashed his throat they
were seen staggering along Ellis
street. The police believe that Nc
Geough. after leaving the soldier,
went TO a lodging house in the vi
cinity of Ellis and Powell streets
and attempted suicide.
Late last night the surgeons at
the hospital gave as their opinion
that McGeough would live.
