the matter yester day to a reporter said lie Was dirty and filthy He came Or to me and kissed my hand and mi de signs that he wanted to get out Tl eman appeared rational to me and dn not look lite one who drank intox Icatuig liquors His clothes had been shed and I gave instructions that as soon as they were dry he should be let go He acted in a very strange mi nner but whether it was doe to his na

surprised to see that story in the Cheosicxb this morning said the superintendent remember the manuelL He was sent here on November 20th from the I city prison First of ad I had him in the new building but he annoyed tbe other inmates there so ther safd and eo removed him to tbe hospital the last chance as orae of the patients call it There he did not appear to he happv for oneiigbtat about 3 oclock tha watchman found him over here wandering about ontside tbe old build Ins stark naked No one hut a crazy xnajwould do such a thing But Mr Keating is a nan crazy tiecaaie he want to get out ot this place and get back to his friends Mo but when he wanders about in the open air without any clotbnghe tn 1st be craty Besides tbe nurse at thd hospital told roe that the otuer pa tiefits were afraid of htm He raid thtjt the fellow used to pull the bed clothes off tbe others in the middle of tha night He tried to bite them too 1 then thought it advisable to send him before the Insanity Commissioners end if he were not insane they would hare sent him back it seems natural from this evidence to infer that poor old llafevv in his frehzv to get out of what he mar have tbdtrght was a lite imprisonment did Jiot wait to clothe himself and it certain ly seems fair to take the statements of jihe watchman an the nurse with a cram of salt when it is remembered that the man was a cripple with a shriveled up ana paralysed leg and could not possibly walk without crutches while to reach the old build ne the nurse asserts that he mast vhftte scaled a high board fence surrounding tbe

Asylum Super intendent A reporter also visited the Agnews Asylum near San Jose yesterday and obtained some very remarkable testimony Dr Hatch the superintendent of the asylum said When Narclen fthe

with vermin and his clothing was old and Tagged As is usual he was shaved as soon as he entered aftd his hair and beard were cut and de in clothing was given him He was covered with sores his lees particular These were at once dressed snd attended to daily He also nan a complaint ot a private nature He was given a single room and part of the time slept on a mattress He was very dirty at first in his habits but greatly improved I did not consider urn insane nor in anv way dangerous and I know of no rea son ior his being sent to anv institution except that he was poor feeble and without friends When he left I gave bun some good clothing I never saw him bite or hurt anybody He often tried to kiss mr feet and hands When Dr Messing came I let him out wiK unMy Dr Pratt one of the resident physicians who attended Narcien or rather Halevy alias Lawee said When he came here his beard was about three inches long and very dirty I did not consider bira insane nor at all dancer ous He was never violent bot on tbe contrary was always very quiet nd grateful for any service done him He trud to kiss my ieet anuaiwavs oowea to the ground when I entered his room The hrst two dtfvs he refused to eat atd was fed with a spoon Bailey one of the attendants who assisted to take the 1 ersian irom tho wagon which brought him up from the station said The Deputy ftheriif Kobert fiddes woo nrougnt tne man down here told me that he would hire I never saw him however attempt to bite any one Karcten beard was only half an inch long when he came here end looked as if had been re cently cut

Committee of the Board of Supervisors resumed its inquiry into tbe financial condition of the fcpring Valley Water Works yesterday Mr Alla dt the oni engineer who had 7 test ed at length on the previous day again took the stand ion behalf of fcpnng Valley A large ntunter of citizens and local officials Including Mayor Pond were present Attorney Henm Questioned Mr Aliarot as to the basis upon which he had calculated the raine of the plant on Thursday Mr Allardt repl ed thai he bad taken the record of the works and compared it with that of similar pla ts fhere was no guessVork about tbe computaton ft was based upon figures which he was prepared to explain to tbe fullest extent In making my comparison continued Mr Allai dt I have made it a point to err if possible on tbe sa oe That is to say I desired rather to underestimate figures than other sc The valueof the works is deter ned in my opinion upon tho water capacity and the io er of be works to fun uh acerta supply dad regardless of tbe seasors be they wet or dry Tie reservoirs of toe Spring Valley are so constructed and tt amount of water on hand is in such quantity that it is safe to assume that a supply suf ncient to last the city for two ears is on hand The cheaist simi at supply from the same sources would cost at le si33tt0 000 to procure i tbeSprrag alley worts were non existent The distribution sjstem of the Spring Val lev has been operation for thirty tears and as calculate that it will remain sound for 100 tears I regard the present conduits as being nearly as good asne Tbe cost of renovating the distribution system would i Jl 000 0j0 or nearly one half as much as iKik originally At tnis point supervisor isoya asked Mr Allardt to explain how it came that tha value of the Spring alley orks had increased 17tXW 000 within fouryears lihe increase in property values the extension of the works and the consequentmvestmentof capital replied Mr Allardt have tended to increase value of the system In computing tbe cost of constructing similar works I have made no allowances for profit or interest bat simply the cost of building the works As I bate sai it would cost anv company to duplicate the bpnng Valley system as it is at present inlly 13 0J0 000 in your opinion asked Attorney Hernn has Eood judgment been ex ercised in expanding the works 1 think tew if any mistakes have been made the construction of tbe works It the work were to be done over azaj tbe aatua lines would doubtless be followed bpeakimj in connection with the needs of growing cities lorasumcient water supply ilr Allardt said that abundant water was an absolute necessity Ihe bonne Valley has a conduit capacity of 5 OJ00O3 gallons daily and could be doubled by drawing upon sources which practically adjoin the city limits The reservoir of Pilarcitos which has a capacity of lOdOOOOOuO of gallons is eiht miles from San ranuco while that of Crystal bprmes which has a capacity of 300000 of gallons is twelve miles trom tiie city With these sources of supply a shortage of water would be an mipo siUiity HowisitakedMayor Pond to whom Supervisor Kingwell had yielded tbe chair that if you have a ca icity of 52000 000 000 gallons a day you squeezed tbe supply last ye urine the dry season down to 18IXK 0U0 cations That is a question for the engineers and business men to answer replied Mr Allardt What is tbe capacity of the two city reservoirs asked Attorney Hernn About 90 000000 gallons Do you think the citys demand for water will increase within the next ten yearsv and if so how much I consider that San Francisco will require 34000000 gallons a day ten years hence How will you bring that water here By gravitation from high levels and pumping from low In order to supply the demand it will be necessary to nave one reservoir of 230000 000 gallons which can only be lound in the Livennore valley Do yon mean to say asked Mayor Pond that there is no site on this peninsula is it necessary to have one central reservoir and why would not three or four answer the purpose here is only one site excepting those of Pilarcitos and Crys tal springs which Is suitable ior a reservoir sue and that is located at Hock Creek a little south of the Twin Peats buvervisor Boyd called attention to the report of Mr Allardt upon the value ot tne spring vaney property made upon the order of Mayor Bartlett in

was added ju9130for contingencies and possibe omissions making a grand total of fUWUM At the time I made that report said Mr Allardt there were several items which I did not mdude in the cost of tbe works For instance I did not include a loton Geary andstockton streets worm 120000 tbe old bpnng Valley works now abandoned 2I 000 tbe bausahto property 3019 ban rranctsqtuto property 134003 stocks

Ittat is a question which remains to be decided butjiot by mo was the i wish to know relterat Supervisor Boyd on what bass Mr Allardt calculates this Stupendous in crease of Sl2VOOOCO in tho value of tbe works in four years ume lhave answered that hefore aaid IMr Allardt I calculated what it would cost to place In operation similar Works with property values asth rare at tbe present time xou say

needed the property and bought it quieuy Ail corporations must ao so in order to protect their own interest Mayor Pond asked if tha company was not aware that tho city was nego tiating ior tne
