Burglars at Masked Ball.


Mrs. Eta Carson gave Hallowe' en-
masquerade party at her home in Tully-
town, N. j. The party was highly sue
cessful 80 far as two self invited guests are
concerned. They made up as masked
burglars and acted the part to the very
life. febs SO fts
Mrs. Carson, her two daughters and her
sister awaited the maskers in the parlor at
8 o. clock. A clown, colored gentleman
and young man in girl clothes were first
to arrive. They were very jolly and
amusing. While the Carsons laughed at
them they vainly puzzled their brains to
identify them. 81
While the clown was fooiing two more
visitors came. They entered on tiptoe,
peering here and there, cautiously, just as
mignight burglars would. Both wore wild
west hats, red shirts and cowboy riding
breeches and had sham reyolvers stuck in
their belts. One carried dark lantern,
the other kit of burglar tools.
y "Wkere do you keep your silver 2
they whispered hoarsely.
Inc misses carson lauSDeu uellSnteuiy
and said they had never seen characters
SO we'll carried out. . The burglars kept
them laughing by pretending to 'jimmy''
open the folding doors and to crack a cab
met.
When the guests, arriving in succession,
filed the parlor the realistic burglars dis
appeared And long before the time came
to unnask the clown, the colored gentle
man and the girl vanished. All the others
when they departed told the Carsons they
had highly enjoyed themselves.
$50 did we, y said the hospitable Car
sons.
So they did until they went upstairs to
retire Every room had been ransacked.
All the money in the house, gold watch,
two diamond rings which Miss Carson
could not wear as a servant girl; trinkets
and silverware had been stolen.
Mrs. Carsonis convinced that the bur-
glars, the clown, the colored gentleman
and the girl were confederates. The in
vitations they presented were forseslssss4hhe

WESTERN PACIFIC
TO ENTER RENO.

With the return from Europe of
George Gould comes the announcement
that the Western Pacific has acquired
control OF the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad and will build into Reno to
compete for the rich traffic that Harri-
man now controls. The transfer of
the property to the Goulds has not been
made formally and it will not be turn
ed over until the Western Pacific has
been completed. Local officials how
ever. have received the telegraphic
word that the sale has been consum-
mated.
The entrance of the Western Pacific
into Reno is regarded as clever move
on the part of the Goulds. Reno is
the trade center of Nevada and the
mining country, and its freight and
passenger traffic is worth thousands of
dollars to the Southern Pacific annual
ly For a time the Western Pacific
contemplated entering Reno by way of
the Boca and Loyalton road, running
through tunnel near Verdi and par
aileling the tracks OF the Southern Pa
cific for several miles. This route was
abandoned because of the grades and
negotiations for the purchase of the
Virginia and Truckee were begun.

THRIFT OF CITIZEN
BRINGS PROTEST.
Van der Naillen Makes
Teamsters Who Cross His
Lots Pay 10 Cents a Load
EMPLOYS A SPECIAL

Owners of land fronting on Beach
street, between Hyde and Larkin, are
protesting against what they term the
tribute that is being levied by a cit
izen upon teamsters dumping loads of
debris for the purpose of filing in
Beach street.
Two blocks of Beach street, between
Hyde and Polk, are being filled in with
debris. From Hyde TO Larkin the
dumping is permitted free. while ac-
cess to the section OF Beach street be-
tween Larkin and Polk is through
property controlled by E. L. Van der
Naillen, a contractor of S22 Bush street.
The property owners charge that Van
der Naillen is employing a special po-
lice officer to keep drivers away from
the free dumping ground and is charg-
ing each teamster Is cents q load for
dropping debris, on his end of the
street.
NJ S. Calvin and A. E. Richards are
foremost in making the complaints
against Van der Naillen. Richards
claims he was arrested for telling the
teamsters to dump their loads on Beach
street free of cost, but that after caus-
ing his arrest Van der Naillen would
not appear against him. Other prop
erty owners declare that the special
patrolman is used as a menace against
the teamSters, who, to avoid arrest,
pay the 15 cents for the privilege of
filing In the street without molesta-
ton. Calvin exhibits a communica-
ton from the Board of Works show
ing that permission to fill the street to
grade was given a month ago by the
Board of Works.
In the meantime the Board of Works
itself has taken q hand in preventing
the free dumping, owing to the fact
that the debris is in a position to slide
down upon houses and lands on level
lower than Beach street. A patrolman
is reported to be stationed to prevent
this dumping. but no sign of him was
apparent yesterday. teams filling In the
street both from the Hyde-street end,
where access is free, and from the
Polk-street end. where Van der Naillen
charges teamsters Is cents q load Ac-
cording to members of the board this
is not an excessive charge, the city
paying as high as so cents load in

STRIKING SAILORS
MUST EXPLAIN.
Judge Morrow Cites Their
Leaders to Appear on
the Charge Of Contempt
THREATS ALLEGED
THREATS
ALLEGED

On Monday next United States Cir
cult Judge Morrow will investigate the
reported contumacy of Andrew Furu-
seth, John Carney. the Sailors Union of
the Pacific. the Pacific Coast Marine
Firemen's Union and the Marine Cooks
and Stewards Association.
A petition filed by the Hammond
Lumber Company charges that the per-
sons and organizations named have
deliberately and with full knowledge
violated the injunction issued by Judge
Morrow on July 13.
1t is set forth that on June Andrew
Furuseth, E. A Erickson, John Carney
and Harry Lundborg were appointed
an executive committee to carry on
the strike, Edward Anderson and c. c.
Simonson having been added to the
committee at a later meeting. Tt is
alleged that Furuseth leased a gaso-
line launch from the Annie II to carry
on the purposes of the strike by con-
veying strikers on board Of vessels
operated by non-union crews. 1t is
alleged further that on July 29 the
launch took a force of strikers to the
steam schooner Ravalli at Mission
street wharf; that four of the men from
the launch boarded the schooner and
abused and threatened non union MEM
bers of the crew, particularly Charles
Schea. and threatening to fix him"
and to get" him.
The petition recites that on the same
day the Annie H visited the steam
schooner Arctic where like scene
was witnessed, and that on August
s, while a non-union seaman named
Johnson was making the vessel fast TO
"the little Main-street wharf" he was
struck under the ear by a striker
named Charles Hansen and knocked
off the wharf. Johnson caught hold
OF a rope and thus saved himself from
drowning.
1t is alleged that Furuseth and Ed
ward Anderson purchased the launch
Petrol to be used as a strikers picket
boat, and that when strikers tried to
board the Ravalli from the Petrel and
Fenwick told them of the restraining
order, the strikers said that neither
Judge Morrow nor any other court
could keep them off the Ravalli if they
wanted to board it

ORDERS BUILDING
Of FIRE BOAT.

The Southern Pacific has ordered the
immediate construction of a modern
fire tugboat for the protection of its
docks and shipping The building of
such a boat was determined upon i'm
mediately after the fire, as it was DEM
onstrated then that the railroad prop
critics were not sufficiently protected.
The boat is to be built in San Fran
cisco at cost of $4,000. Tt is to be
modern in every detail and when fin
ished 1t will be FIRE fighter of great
prowess.
No expense will be spared in equip
ping it with fire-fghting machinery.
The pumps are to have a capacity of
5000 gallons a minute. It will have a
quickly from the deck and transferred
to a dock or another vessel. Enough
hose will be kept on board to run long
lines through burning district. 1t
will be kept in the bay and used for
patrolling.
A new ferry steamer will also be
constructed for passenger service to
Oakland. This boat issto be a sister to
the Berkeley. 1t will be fitted up hand
somely with bar, grill. dressing
rooms and seats. 1t will cost 500, 900.
The present number of ferry steamers
barely accommodates the traffic and
whenever one boat is injured it is ne
cessary for the Southern Pacific to bor-
row a ferry from the North Shore.
The Southern Pacific has also ordered
the construction in San Francisco of a
new boat for carrying teams across
the bay, and a passenger and freight
boat for the Sacramento River traffic.
The team boat will be a double-decke ed
steamer. All its machinery will be be-
low deck SO as to give all possible
space to teams.
The construction of all these boats
will be completed within a year.

SILVERWARE LEADS
To ARREST.

Charles Dueber, formerly waiter in
the Techau Tavern. but now the pro-
prietor of a restaurant at the corner
Of O'Farrell and Webster streets, was
placed under arrest yesterday by De-
tective Riordan on a charge of having
stolen a quantity of silverware from
the place where he formerly worked.
The amount of silverware recovered
consisted of fifty-nine spoons and
forks. The property recovered bore
evidence that the name "Techau Tav-
ern" had been obliterated by fusing
lead with the silver over the spot
where the name was engraved.
The arrest was made at the instance
of Frank Mayo, who was formerly
manager of Techaus. He dined at the
place of the former waiter and the sill
verware looked suspiciously familiar.
Investigation convinced him that the
silverware being used by Dueber was
none other than that formerly owned
by the Techau Tavern.

Supervisor Submits Resolu-
ton Which Directs Own

HEALTH is MENACED

The Board of Supervisors referred a
resolution to the health committee
yesterday requesting the Health Board
to serve notices on owners Of lots and
Easements in the burned district where
stagnant water is accumulating, to
pump the water out and put their
property in sanitary condition.
The resolution recites that the stag
nant water is rapidly accommodating,
is a serious menace to health and con-
stitutes a public nuisance.
The joint Supervisors light and
finance committe held a conference
yesterday with the officials of the gas
company with a view to restoring the

should be installed in the new business
district, particularly on Fillmore and
Devisadero streets and Golden Gate
and Van Ness avenues.
1t will be impossible to restore all
the lights in service before the fire, as
the appropriation is only s225,0o0
against $4,000 for last year The
company has been handicapped, owing
to the lack of material, but hopes to
install many lights needed within sixty
days Caution will be necessary in the
district south of Market street, as the
mains were badly broken and there is
danger of explosions if the gas is turn
ed on too quickly.
The company will erect ornamental
poles on Market street, but as the
United Railroads has agreed to light
the street in return for the blanket
trolley franchise it secured from the
Supervisors the poles of each company
will be so placed that they will not in
terfere with one another. The COM
pany's officials will prepare state
ment of the cost of additional lights
required in districts which were not in
the original schedule. Gas Inspector
Byrne desires the public to notify him
of lights that are not burning, in order
that action may be taken.
