YOUNG REPUBLICANS MEET.
Session of the Executive Committee
of the League.

The executive committee of the Young
Mems Republican League of San Fran
cisco Clubs met Saturday evening at the
league headquarters on O'Farrell and
Powell streets, Chairman Henry c.
Langrehr presiding, and DR.. Charles
ii. Holsman acting in his official capacity
as secretary.
The main subject under discussion was
the part the League Clubs were to take
In the coming primaries. Mr. H d.
Mitchell suggested that as the League
was particularly strong in some of the
Assembly Districts, he thought it adyis-
aple 10 select from the organization the
names OF several of its members as dele
gates to the convention. Mr. MitchelPs
suggestion met with the hearty approval
OF every member of the committee and
was finally adopted. Mr.. E. T. Dudley in
speaking OF the league sending delegates
70 the convention, said that the County
committee would certainly recognize the
organization IN this respect. as under the
new primary law the league could If
necessary, put it's own ticket in the field
Dr ii. A. Raymond moved that a COM
mlttee OF two be appointed, consisting of
frank X. Spencer, the. president of the
league, and Henry G. Langrehr, the
chairman of the executive committee
WITH power to select and appoint three
delegates in each of the Assembly Dis
tricts; to complete the organization of
district clubs for the league. The mo-
ton being seconded by E. D. Montrose it
was unanimously adopted.
A special circular has been ordered
printed and distributed among the mem
bers, of the league throughout the AS
sembly Districts, giving them in detail
the precise meaning of the new primary
law, and also urging The attendance of the
members and their friends at the
primaries. The committee also voted 10
hold the annual high jinks of the league
on Saturday evening, September 30, 1893
by which time it is earnestly hoped that
the First California Volunteers will be
now in Manila. A large number of appli-
cations for membership were considered
and out of the number several were re-
jected. After other business was con-
cluded the committee adjourned to meet
again on Thursday evening, May %.

him. Slightly raising his head from the
pillow of the cot, he asked his grief
stricken parent to kiss him.
Il m going, papa" he feebly remarked
as he imprinted a kiss on his fathers
forehead. May God bless you" The
injured boy then sank back into his cot
and died a few minutes later. Over
come by grief, the heart-broken parent
staggered out of the Receiving Hospital
and was about to collapse when seized
by two of the attendants. He was then
induced to visit the Southern Station.
where he tearfully told the story of the
accident to Captain Spillane.
A few minutes later William Tanner,
the motorman, walked in accompanied
by two policemen, who had him under
arrest
1T could not be helped" lugubriously
remarked the motorman. THE car was
proceeding along Third street at the
usual rate of speed when the unfortu
nate boy ran in front of it. l quickly
applied the brake and reversed the cur
rent but too late to save his life. l
heard the cries Of the excited crowd to
lynch me- but paid no attention to them
as l was anxious to know whether or
not the boy was fatally injured.
Tanner was allowed to take his car to
where a substitute was placed in
charge. He was then escorted to the
City Hall.
After listening to his story. Captain
Spillane ordered Tanner locked up on
charge of manslaughter. At late
hour last night he was released on his
own recognizance by Police Judge
Graham.
Spectators do not agree with the
statement of Tanner, but declare on an
upgrade, running at the regular speed,
there was no excuse for the car being
run for nearly half block, particularly
when human being was being ground
to death The telltale blood marks on
the track and cobblestones fully estab-
| lish their statements. One Of the eye
witnesses, John Garvey, living at 15S
! New Montgomery street, said:
II was standing on Third street, be-
! tween Jessie and Stevenson, when the
| boy started to cross the street. The car
! was going at a good speed There was
no bell sounded, and the boy was
! knocked down. The fender, instead Of
! catching the child, rolled him under
! the wheels, and the car kept on it's
way. / and several others yelled to the
motorman to stop, but for some rea-
son he did not do so, and the poor lit
| tie fellow was dragged about half a
| block up the hill to the corner of Ste
venson. On that grade he should have
/ stopped sooner, but that would not have
! saved the boy, for the fender and the
wheels did their work at once
Il saw the accident from the start, p"
| said Max Roberts of 152 Minna street.
The fender did not help the child: on
the contrary, it seemed to lift him up
and permit him to go under the wheels.
1t was awful to see him dragged such
a distance and to hear his shrieks and
those of the father. The car, l think,
could not have been stopped in time to
save the chid's life, but if the fender
had been worth a blank he could not
have been seriously injured. 1t looked
! to me like murder, and at one time 1
thought the crowd would lynch the
| motorman.'
Other witnesses conceded with the
foregoing statements. However,

protect the unfortunate public from
the onslaughts of it's five-cent jugger-
nauts
The victim in this case was the six
year-old son of Thomas KeaVney,
well-known salesman Of the firm Of w.
J. Sloane & Co.. of Gal Market street.
The tragedy occurred on Third street
between Stevenson and Jessie. The
father and son were on opposite sides
of the street and the child started t.
cross over to his parent At the same
time car No. iii was coming up Third
street at good speed and the boy was
struck and thrown down by the deadly
vehicle. Spectators say that no warn
ing bell was sounded and that the
Roadway Of the car was not stopped.
Here is where the economical fender
of the Market Street Railway Com
pany showed it's real merits. The boy
was thrown down in front OF the fen
der. and instead of being picked Up
and carried safely until the car step
ped, as is done by proper tenders, he
was rolled under the wheels, dragged
over the paving stones and ground I'M
der the car for nearly half block.
When the motorman succeeded in
stopping the car the unfortunate child
was a crushed and bleeding human
wreck.
If Messrs. Huntington and Vining
had stood on Third street at the time
and had had under consideration the
ACCESSIBILITY of adopting a fender that
would prevent the continual destruc-
ton of life by their cars; had they
seen the helpless victim dragged to his
doom; heard his shrieks of agony as
he was ground to death; had they
heard the awful cries Of the father as
he saw his only offspring drawn into
the death-dealing mechanism of the
trolley; had they seen him rush to the
side of the car begging the motorman
to stop and then, in his frenzy, clutch
the hand rail and endeavOr to stay the
slaughter of his child-they might
have concluded that their heartless
righteousness, with its long and ever
growing mortality list, was not the
kind of economy honest men would
pursue.
Furthermore their ideas regarding
the sentiments of the public with refer
ence to the policy of the company would
have been broadened to their own ad-
vantage, for it was only by reason of
the presence of several policemen that
the gripman, William Tanner, was not
mobbed. When the car was finally
stopped and many willing hands had
lifted ii so that the victim could be re-
leased from the grip of the wheels the
motorman attempted to proceed on his
way unconcerned. Then the desperate
parent sprang upon the dummy bent
upon vengeance.
He was followed by many incensed
bystanders and cries went up from the
assembled crowd, which then numbered
hundreds, Mob him, lynch him." and
for a few moments it looked as though
another tragedy would be credited &c
the railway company. The vigorous
efforts Of the police prevented violence
but the crowd was in an ugly mood
They hooted and jeered the police and
cursed the frightened man who had
driven his car over the hapless boy.

ABUSED DEWEY AND
WAS PROMPTLY BEATEN
BERMAH SPECK TAUGHT A LES
SON IN PATRIOTISM.
John McGoomis Thrashes Him and
Sends Him to the Hospital for
Repairs and Is Himself
Arrested

In future Bermah Speck will be more
careful before whom he belttles the
name and fame of Admiral Dewey His
unpatriotic utterances earned him ter
rible beating at the hands of John Nc
Goomis, a young American, whose adj
miration for the naval officer would not
permit himself to stand by while his hero
was assailed by foreigner
Speck had been brooding over the I'M
kind things said of Kaiser Wilhelm by
Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh and last
night the pent-up feelings burst and he
launched a TRADE of abuse on Dewey and
eventually he was sent to the hospital for
his temper. After imbibing in sundry
glasses of steam beer he staggered into
the saloon kept by Henry Herting at LIS
Point Lobos avenue. Several men were
there and during their talk Admiral
Deweys name arose and they discussed
the proposition to erect monument in
Golden Gate Park in his honor and pre-
senting home to him by voluntary sub
scription. Speck's German blood revolted
a the idea, but, like an unwise man, he
gave vent to his feelings by ridiculing and
pooh-poohing the whole idea. He even so
far forgot himself as to abuse the adj
miral.
Mrs. Herting, the wife of the propri-
etor of the resort, was behind the bar,
and as she is somewhat of a patriot her
self it panied her to hear Speck's re-
marks. She prayed that one of the men
would defend Dewey, but as no one would
take up his defense she burst out, IF my
son were here you would not make those
statements" McGoomis happened to be
in the back part of the place, and when
he heard Mrs. Herting's' threat he in
Qured into the matter with the result
that he fell to and gave the unpatriotic
German beating that he will remember
for many months. In fact Speck was in
such bad condition when McGoomis fin
ished with him that he had to be sent to
the Receiving Hospital.
officer Isaacs. although a patriot him
self, had to do his duty, so he placed Nc
Goomis under arrest and charged him
with battery
