Thanksgiving Concert.

The concert at St. Agnes Hall Thanks
giving night was decided success in
every way. Every chair in the hall was
occupied before the beginning of the
entertainment, which consisted of selec-
tions by the orchestra; reading by
Miss Agnes Benoit; vocal solo by
Miss Emma Lavigne; and a violin solo
by Miss Gauthier; and all received well
deserved applause. Following this pro-
gram play was presented by the young
men, which was well rendered. The
affair netted the st. .Johnsbury Hospital,
for the benefit of which it was given,
about $95.

on Jackson street, between Montgom-
cry and Sansome. w. 4. Wilson was
severely bruised and received internal
injuries. He was removed to the City
and County Hospital. Henry George,
another laborer, received slight bruises.
The accident occurred at 141 Prospect

CAPTAIN DENIES STATEMENT.

AS to the statement that he had
given Wilson permission to invite the
steerage passengers or the under Off
GERS to dinner in the cabin, Captain
Irvine denied any such action and
added he would not have permitted it
had he known of ii.
Purser Carey entered formal denial
to the charge of being drunk and asked
the captain if he had ever known of
him being under the influence of liquor
The captain admitted that he had not.
At that point of the proceedings In
spector Bulger said If Stevens had per-
jured himself, as the testimony of the
present witness would indicate, Stevens
would be brought up on that charge
Carey contended that If the ship had
not been lost there would never have
been anything said about the little jol-

The captain admitted he had heard no
noise during the night.
First officer Wilson fatty contra
dicted. Captain Irvine about the per-
mission being granted to have the din

cabin, and there the matter stands
until the San Juan and China get into

FRESH FRUIT SHIPMENTS.

No one has any doubt that the coun-
ties of Southern California will send
on their share of the green fruit and
probably the northern fruit-growers
will see to it that they are as well
advertised at the great show as are
the people of the south. A circular
letter has been issued by the Califor-
MIA commissioners regarding the fresh
fruit shipments. Therein it is set forth
that IF the fruit is wisely selected
there ought to be returned gold
medal for nearly every shipment"
The last lot of exhibits for the San
Francisco building goes on to-day. IN
cluded in this lot are models of bat
tleships. photographs of San Francisco
and elsewhere and 10000 canes made
of the bark of the redwood tree for

LUNDY COMPANY SUES THE
STOCKTON ASYLUM MANAGERS
Action Is Like One Against the Napa
Institution to Prevent Award
of Contracts

OF Contracts.
Another suit to prevent the award
of contracts for the supplying of but
ter and cheese to the States insane
was commenced yesterday in the SUI
perior Court by the A. L. 1undy Com
pany. The proceedings last week were
against the board of managers of the
asylum at Napa. Yesterdays suit
nearly Identical in it's allegations, is
against the board of managers of the
ayslum at Stockton.
The court is asked to restrain the
authorities named from awarding the
contract for butter to Hilmer & Bred
hoff and that for cheese to Wheaton,
Pond & Harold. The last named firm
was the one TO which the Napa con-
tract was awarded. The complaining
company alleges that its. bids were the
lowest of eleven submitted for 10000
pounds of creamery extra butter,
10000 pounds of cold butter and
$500 pounds of cheese. 1t is averred
that the bid of Wheaton, Pond & Har-
rold was unsigned and unidentified at
the time the bids were opened accord
ing to the advertisement on June Is
and that the bid was not signed or
identified until after the bids of the
eleven other firms had been seen. The
plaintiff says that the State will lose
$500 if the contract is let according
to the award of the asylum managers.

Caught in the Act.

Martin Oakes, an ex-convict and
known to the police as the cleverest
tilltapper in the city, went into the
grocery and saloon of John Plath,
corner of Steiner and Ellis streets,
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning
and asked for a drink. Plath served
him with the drink and then walked
into the grocery to attend to a Gus
toner. When he returned to the sa-
loon he saw Oates coming from be-
hind the bar. Plath glanced quickly
at the till and saw that a sack con-
tanning $22 % was missing. Oates
ran along Steiner street and Plath
started in pursuit. He overlook Oates
after running three blocks and later
turned his prisoner over to the police.

bers and it was necessary in the pro-
gress of the work to remove the props.
There was no thought of danger, for
it was believed that the cement facing
OF the bulkhead was strong enough to
support the jght of the earth be-
hind it, But the wall yielded TO the
pressure and crumbling into thousands
of pieces fell upon the unfortunate
workmen. Spectators Of the accident
said that there was not enough cement
in the bulkhead and that if there had
been present the proper proportion of
cement in the material the wall would
have stood.
Armand was a native of France, 80
years old.

TATTOO NEEDLE
Is POISONOUS
Hugo de Battle, Husband of
Lily Langtry, Victim of
Careless Samoan Native
HERE FOR TREATMENT
When Able He Intends to
Go to City of Mexico as
Guest of President Diaz

Among the more notable OF the pas
sengsrs who. arrived on the steamship
Sierra yesterday was Hugo Gerald de
Battle, sOR and heir Of General Sir Hen
y Percivsl de Battle Of England. and
more fsmiliarly known 10 the American
public as the second husband Of Lily
IsngtFy, lie is accompanied by his
brother. Captain Max de Battle, who
recently resigned from the British army
after fifteen years service. and Cap
tain c. L. Davis, also Of the British
army. The. trio came direct from Sa-
moa for the purpose Of securing proper
surgical attention for Hugo de Battle,
who is suHering from a slight attack
OF blood poisoning resulting from a tat
tooing operation performed by a native
islander during their visit to Pago
Pago.
Hugo de Bathe's body bears numer-
Gus artfui designs in india ink, imprint
ed upon his skin by the clever tattOoers
of various countries through which he
has Travelled during the last ten years.
one Of his purposes in going to Sa-
moa was 70 submit himself TO a tattoo
ing operation, which was performed
UPON his LEFT leg. Later the limb
sweiled 10 such proportions and the
pain from the operation became so in
tolerable that he was forced to seek
medical assistance upon one Of the
American men-Of-war lying IN the har-
Dor OF Pago Pago. II was plain TO the
surgeon who attended him that De
Battle was suffering from blood poison
ing resulting from the use Of an un-
clean peedle, and he was advised 10
hurry 70 this city. where he could re-
ceive better attention. For a time il
was feared that De Bathe's injury
might prove fatal. Arriving here yes
terday he was apparently in good
health, although he used a cane TO as
sist him in his movements about the
Palace Hotel. where he and his fellow
travellers are staying.
II is his intention 10 place himself
under the care of a surgeon here, and If
the latter can assure him that danger
Of further trouble has passed he win
join his brother on a trip 10 the City
Of Mexico. 70 which they have been in
Vited by President Diaz.
Hugo de Battle and Captain de Battle
left England on their present tour
around the world shortly after Lily
Langrry. entered on her recent theat-
rical engagement in this country. They
drifted slowly across the oceans 70 the
South Sea Islands and were enjoying
themselves among the natives when
