ROSE'S HARD LUCK Was Obliged to Forfeit to Terrill. HE MET WITH AN ACCIDENT, The Oakland Cycle Club's Road Race Won by Byrne. WHO PROVED A DARK HORSE. Rose Won the Time Prize and Then Got Smashed Other sports on the Track. The first road race held by the Oakland Cycling Club since its reorganization after the railroad strike came off yesterday morning on the straightaway teu-milo ojursa Iron: Fruitvaie to II ay wards.

This course is gettiug to be universally popular, and has already succeeded the old iSan Leandro triangle. It is a good road all through and is generally in good condition. Yesterday, however, it was diflicult to make fast time on the course. owing to the fact tnat the road from San Leandro two miles on the way to had been freshly macadamized, and the rider had to pick his way along soft places. But was a glorious day, and although the dust flew high there was no wind, and all was jolly.

The Oakland club's membership is made up of representatives from all the Oakland athletic clubs, the Acme ana Keliance boys figuring prominently. Yesterday's race, however, contained nine Acme entries acainst oue outsider and the outsider won. F. M. Byrne, a member of no other club than the Oakland, carried off firs', honors, with a start of three minutes, despite the fact that some of the Acme cracks rode him.

The full list of s'arters was as Arena, 4 minutes handicap; F. M. Byrne and T. 11. Beatty, minutes; G.

Brouillet and C. H. CowelJ, 2 ruinutes; 1. bchleuter, 1 minute; M. Rose, A.

P. Swain, E. W. Decker and J. B.

Sampson, scratch. The start was from High street, Kruitvaie, but the example of punctuality sei by the association three week-' ago was not followed here, as the scratch men were not dispatched on their journey until 11:14 A. M. The finish was opposite the Central II tel in Havwards, and fie Acme, reliance and Bay City held club ruas for the purpose of witnessing this race and the one to follow between Rose and "Bob" Terrill, tnere was quite a coodly gathering at the wire. The lookout man was no the telegraph post, as usual, and the judges and stood by, anxiously wait- Ing fot the first man to appear.

Everybody expected a grand race among the ecratcu men, with a slight leaning in favor of Rose. The result proved a disappointment in one way, as Byrne, the only unattached Wan of Hie party, passed, the post at 11 bonrs. 40 nun. 431-5 niin. 131-3 sees, after he sUit-d ana 2 niin.

Following Is the table of places and times First prize went to Byrne, and the time prize to Rose. Both these prizes were poid watches, while there were other prizes of less value. Ti.ere was the usual chapter of accidents attendant ou the race. Byrne himself had an accident, as his front wheel left the fork as he passed through San Leandro. He had plenty of time to spare, though, and he borrowed another Rnd rode home winner.

It was lucky for him that the accident happened when it did. and Broullet collided on tlifl road, but both rode on. Cowell finished secoud and Broullett in fourth place. But worst accident of all happened to Rose. He had just passed the into fifth place, and had gained the time prize, when he collided heavily with a wagon v.

hrh could not see to the crowd. He smashed his front wheel and himself so severely that the whole of his right le was black and blue. It was doubly unfortunate tor Hose, as lie was due to ride, over the same course at 1:00 p. m. against Bub Terrill of the Bay tv decide the possession of the time prize offered by the association for race of October 14.

In that race Rose and Tprril! lode a dead heat in the shortest time made that day, and it was decided that they must ride for the prize. Rose picked himself up and staged back for Fruitvale on a car. saying that he could not ride again that day, but would ask Territl to postpone the match. But when he got to the other end Rose found all ready to ride and unwilling to agree to a postponement. Terrill said he had traveled over to Fruitvale every Sunday sine trie biz match expecting to ride against Rose, but had been disappointed.

He now insisted on riding over the course and claiming the pr Rose was not satisfied, but Terrill's friends advised nim to claim the priz-, and as there aopenred no way of agreeing Torrill started off at 2 p. accompanied by some of his friends, and rode over the course, thus claiming the prize. It was undoubtedly hard lines? on Rose, as the priza is a valuable diamond locket. However, he won yesterday's time prize, so he can afford to bn generoui. Aft-r the Oakland club race was over, belore the return home, President and Captain Bartiielmp got up a slow race, 100 yards, the first and only prizu to consist of nss hat.

This race proved of vast amusemen', as nearly all the good riders attempted to ride at so slow a pace tnat they fell off or tau wide or did 10 them from further participation in tbe race. There were sixteen entries in all, and the race was run off in bents. The first beat was won by F. L. Hanson, his three opponents coming to grief.

The same thine happened in p.II the bfats. G. Brouillet, E. W. Decker, C.

H. Cowell and T. Sehleuter being successful. Tha final heat was won by Schleuter, altsr a race with who came to grief eventually. this the cavalcade set off on the return home.

A newly formed club called the Crescent Road Club of San Francisco, composed mainly of young athletes of Hebrew origin, who are employed in laTjje downtown wholesale houses, held its first road race yesterday over the same course. The scratch man left Frulivale at 9:46 a. and the six finished in the following order: Handicap. Net Time. P.

THE MOTCXIXG CALL, SAX FRANCISCO, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1594. POTTER'S PRISON. A Young Woman's Suicide in the Home.

THE DOCTOR 15 "SURPRISED." Suspended for Two Hours Before Discovery. NOT AN INEBRIATE BUT INSANE. A Demented Woman Hangs Herself In an Institution Where She Was Sent to Be Cared For. Annie Y. Barkdull, an inmate of Dr.

Potter's Inebriate Asylum, hanged herself yesterday morning about duwn ana the body was discovered at 6 o'clock. There were no attendants preseut to prevent tbe act. The circumstances surrounding her death are full of importance and only add to the lone story of suffering aDd secret grief that moves to end the con'est against fate and past away by their own acts. The manner of accomplishing her death showed a determination remarkable id a frail woman. If was done by winding a common curtain chain twice around hei neck, throwing the loop over a screwheail which In Id a clotheshook on the door and suspending herself.

In order to be sure of strangulation she stood on a chair to make the final preparations, mi shine it away The Hapless Suicide. with her feet, which alter death were found to be several inches off the 11-ior. There must have been two attempts as a broken hook fan-id on the floor Indicated that a severe strain had been brought to bear upon it. hen found by the atteudan's the lady hanKine inert and limp with the face against tie door. Tim bmss chain had sunken deep into the flesh of the neck aud left purple streaks on the cheeks where it ran up on both aides to the to which it was fastened.

The remains were at once taken down, placed on the bed, and Coroner was notified about 11 o'clock by proprietor of Mar, 'hand's restaurant, who whs engaged to be married to Barkdull. The story of their ineetine and his love for her is pathetic All day yesterday remained in tho Coroner's office waiting for the autopsy to be held and arranging for disposition of the body. "Yes were very fond of each other." he said, "and I the cause ot her suicide was temporary insanity. 1 met her in Alameda, March, ISJI3. and after a reasnnf die turn', in which we saw considerable of each other.

1 learned to think a great deal ol tier. About thai time she was attending Me Dominican Convent, on Guerrero street, educating herself. Some months ago she came over lo San Francisco and her home with Mrs. Ale- Daniel, at 701 Stockton street, where sue was comfortably fixed and cheerful. "I often called upon her, a it was 1 while there that we became the very best of She told me that her relatives lived In Eureka, Iltittiboldt Couiily, con- I sisting of a father, four brothers and two sisters.

She never talked very much about her and 1 know very little about them. There seemed to be something on her mina, but she was usually happy and buoyant. I could see no reason, for any discomfort on her part. Her character was spotless. Her life was Quiet, ami few i besides myself and the ladies in the house called upon her.

About two months ago she was taken sick aud acted very strangely. Imagined people were it-1 tempting to blackmail her, ana had other hallucinations that indicated a touch of insanity. I secured medical aid for her. but she got no better. "Dr.

A. B. Wefelsburg, who attended her, finally ordered her sent to the Home for Inebriates until she was improved in mind, and to-day, during which lime i was making preparations to have her sent hume, where she could receive proper tention. I went to see her last Thursday, and she was getting along very nicely. 1 talked to her a good deal, and when I left smiled and was very pleasant.

A Lecture in Favor of Free, Fair, Individual Judgment of Candidates for Office. An Intended warning to voters wavering between their attachment to a party and their desire to elect tlie light man for the right place, Irrespective of any party influence of any description whatever, was delivered in a spirited lecture last evening by Piofessor Fred Bell at Metropolitan Hall. The "lecturer took a very broad view of the political questions. His motto was "Good Government by Good Clizeusliip." Therefore, the only question was how to obtain good citizens to 01 in this good and almost ideal government? Was It by the establishment of any narrow-minded party with political views concentrated upon any ideas lehgion? Was It by voting for mere names or was it by choosing the right kind of individuals? The speaker ventured to think that the latter way was the only correct one. "On the cnaracter of individual members of a whole the result depends," said Bell.

"Individual members of a home circle may destroy the peace of that Home. The success or failure ot this meat lepublic depends upon the iuieerry of As Herbert Kpeucer feel man alone can realize the perfect sain. So it Is that rood government must rely on eood citizenship." The speaker held that tins free republic had become .1 nation of a wild race for material prosperity. Year after year the schools had turned out recruits (or the army ot those who lived by their wits. It was a question or education now that should breed self-respect, as self-respect indispensable to Rood citizenship.

Prevention was better than cure; lavor of M.ivnr Kllert's candidature for a second term of office it must tie said that this ollicial did one good and noble thing when he saved Hi- Cog-well school. That was a step in the rlcht direction. Dangerous enemies of reform, said the speaker, weie men who were blessed with wimHh and men who "botlffbt blocks of votes." The lecturer advocated the payment of better salaries to the Supervisors, so as 10 secure tie nomination and election of good and true men. unhillueuceU by any party or cor. poiatiou influence.

As Instances of good men who deserved re-election the speaker Instanced I Slfbe. and Congressman He admired Judge CoJTey for his 111---i tegruyand fearlessness, and Mazulre because lie fought tlie Souiiitd Kaiho.d on eveiy point.

But whalers are reckless men; they spend money P.k» watpr when they make it. I have often heard of luukr 'headers' squandering to fIQ.OOO in less than six months' time." It was an old "blubber hunter" who answered the questions above propounded. He bat in an armchair in the rear room of a Broadway sailors' boarding-house, wbitled a tiny yardarm for a small model of a brig he was fashioning and uaused only between words to calculate the distance of a square box rilled with sawdust that served the caravansary as spittoon.

The sailor ships 00 a pays a prices for everything he buys from the ship, and unless the season's catch a mighty large one he comes home sick, with only a few dollars due him for all his hard work and privation.

"But boat-headers," continued the speaker, "are paid so much a pound on the bone secured. If the catch very I large he often has several thousand doli lars coming to him. "In New Bedford when whaling was in 1 its prime, and when thn chasing of 'oilers' one of the most thriving of New England's industries, boat- I header of a bale-vessel was a bis man. lie was the kingpin of the saloon and the monarch of the dancehall. His credit was unlimited, and he could sport just as many diamonds and jingle just as much loose cash as the wealthiest man in port.

"There were two classes of headers the man who was lavish of expenditures, i reckless of bearing and always ready for i a regular water-front spree, and the man who was careful enough of his earnings i to build himself a little cottage uptown, surrounded by crass and bright flowers, a sort of harbor where he could cast anchor after the storms of a long voyage and be safe from the sweep of the tide of humanity with whom he associated while on board ship. "There are men who have made forj tunes in bone living right here in San Francisco to-day. These men are from the I whaler Narwhal, that has made a record for catching the largest number of whales i ever harpooned by Pacilic Coast whalers. The boat-header of the Narwhal came back to port after a two-years' cruise to i from $10,000 to One man nuide SIGOO clear and is patting his money to good use. He has invested a good deal of it and intends to make only one more trip to the Arctic, I then give up heeding altogether.

"Just think of it, SIR. OOO in two years; that's more than the average bank president gets as a salary. It was a little over 12 a pound that this lucky man made on the total number ol pounds of bone dining the two seasons. The Nurrthal, you remember, caught sixty-live whales. "The Narwhal's crew did pretty well, too.

They couldn't help but do well, although they aid have to pay pretty good prices for tobacco, clothing an 1 food. Sixty-five whales would make any crew of men rich, temporarily, at least. "You notice I say temporarily. Well, that's because an ordinary whaler can neTer stand prosperity. He is ton fond of whisky and woman.

He can never keep any money when there is a designing woman after l.is purse. "The Narwhal's crew all made good resolutions when they started for Francisco on their home trip. They swore that nu bleeding hoarding-house man or saloou sharp wou get anything out of them. Every man hud a scheme. The principal an was th.it a little would be bad fora week or so, then a trip to country for a good rest would follow.

"Bless you, 1 don't believe that there are a half dozen man of the vessel'? crew that have $20 lett apiece. Nearly all had amounts averaging about when they came ashore a lew days ago. "Boa -headers nil manage to keep nearly even, though. They are a more intelligent of men than those who ordinarily have to ship on whalers. They have to understand their business, an i 'if anybody on board the ship is going to make money they ate the persons.

"One of the Boleana's boat-hinders signed on a lav of something over par pound for. bone, I am fold, and is $17,000 ahead. The had a big eaten and comes in with Narwhal for a record. S. il.

Cornell is the gentleman's name, his showing is greater than C. E. Cuckley, who, 1 believe, is header for the Narwhal. "The Narwhal and Boleana left here only a lew days anart. The first vessel sailed on March 12.

1892, aud the latter de- Darted on Uie 15 01 the same month. Tney both wintered up north two seasons and all of men did well. It is but the Pacific Whaling Company always denies that any great money is made by its employes. It might affect the price of bone, perhaps." "The wind-jammers have not been very lucky. Their men are drifting about the front without much coin.

They are being utilized by the bosses as stutters, and expect to make a lew dollars that way; then they will be broke." The Ctpe Hern Pigeon is at section 3 of the seawall.

It was as if the euemy were making a surreptitious advance under cover ot d.trkness and Uncle Sam's soldiers were caught nani inc.

At least the Inhabitants or Presidio had sucli vivlU pictures presented to tlieir Imagination by Hie crash ot cannon and shrill blasts of trumpets that rudely disturbed their sleep at 12:15 yesterday morning. Down at itie Preslaio something extraordinary was taking ulaca. Cannon were fired, tiumnetcalls sounded, and from a peaceful scene it was all chanced instantly Into one of bustle ana gieat excitement. Presently the military post was aglow with and the rattle of artillery mlnsied with the tramp of cavalry and words of command. The excitement did not last long, for soon again the i'residio was quiet as before.

General Graham had sounded the call "To anno." Desiring to rind out the proficiency of his men in not drill, attacking and lepulsiut; an invading force, and in order to find out the time it would lake for them to appear equipped for fight when taken by surprise, he that the call "To arms" be sounded. The General was highly pleased with the manner in which the troops turned out, and says: "The piompfness and alacrity displayed far exceeded my expectations." Troop was in line of action three minuses after warning notes of the bugle. Ihe entiie command turned out la less than five minutes. A GOOD RECORD. Auditor Broderick's Great Fight Against Jobbery.

Saves the City Thousands of Dollars. Asa City Hall Commissioner He Protects Labor. Auditor William Broderick took his seat two years ago he brought with him not only an enlarged experience of the city's financial and departmental affairs, but also a sterling integrity beyond attack and beyond the impeachment of a living soul. His friends cannot remember when he was not called "Honest Bill" Broderick. in tbe beginning his term a strong effort was made tn foist a number of old cia.ms upon him.

They were even allowed by Board of Supervisors ana amounted to many thousands of dollats. Auditor Broderick was familiar with the law and promrtiy refused to sign them. A tremendous political pressure was brought to Lear upon him, but witnout avail. An appeal was taken to the courts and he was sustained. In all his long public career, as legislate r.

as Assistant H-uistrar, as Auditor, with his mnnifola aud conspicuous services to the people, there is nothing which stands so prominent and commendable as this one shiniug ligbt he could not be used. Auditor Broderick brought to the City- Hall Commission the sace sound judgment which requests the opinion of others and delivers its own with perspicacity and comprehension, the same spirit of acuteness in the detection ct fraud, tbe same stern firmness as a public censor of extravagance. His subtility in the apprehension of a municipal job was evidenced by his detection of iho ring which bad formed to pool the contract for the dump, and which led to the rejection ot all bids and the securing ot a second contract more in the interests of the city. The power of the ring failed to exercise its fatal sorcery. Auditor Broderick supported Mayor Ellert and City and County Attorney Creswell in their efforts to secure a sufficient and last levy ft mi an inimical Board of Supervisors, as he believed it was wrong to increase the burdens of the people when tbe ball could have beau completed without another levy.

He wrote a sharp and pungent communication to the board, but without effect. It was these facts which caused the Grand Jury to report that tr.o present Commission had exercised the best and cleanest management and most commendable economy of any Commission in the history of hall. When the contract was let for a new dome Auditor Broderirk was strenuous in iiiainta mng that all the materials should be California manufacture. A little neglect may breed great niischief, so one of the main principles of Auditor Broderick is that business must be attended to at the expense ol everything else of less importance. None know this better than the school teachers, and this is why he is their because by his promptitude lie gives tbeni their warrants seven days earlier than previous Auditors.

A Democrat, the Non-Partisans indorsed Brodflrick lr.r his record. Profound in bis knowledge of municipal affairs ana finances, just in the administration oi ifticial duties, without a blot to mar his consistent record, and with a long list of in the maiute-nancr, preservation and protection of the people's interest-, an ornament and honor the Auditor 1 office, the people have no graver duty than to keep him in his present olh'cial seat "Honest" jiiil Broderick, ttie watch dog of the treasury. A TRIED OFFICIAL. A. C.

Freese, the Friend of the Stevedore. For Public Administrator Mr. A. C. Freese is clearly in the ascendaut.

In 1849 he first came to California as the master of the ship Hester. In common with the pioneers of tnose days he went to the mines and afterward drifled hureka, where he was a popular landlord for many years. Apain in San Francisco in he embraced the business of stevedore, and since then has actively engaged iv that profession. Up to lour years aeo he has done all the loading and lightering fnr such firms an the I'a'-ific Pine Lumber Puget Sound Lumber Company, Kenton-ilolniPS Comnny and Pope-Talbot Company and others of equal importance. Mr.

Freese was the only employer on the front who, when the stevedores' strike look place, upheld the of ttie men. He lost by the operation 550,000 in two months. He incurred the hostility of thn lumber companies br nis action, but retnined what, to hini, was of far greater value, t'iH undying and sympathy of all seafaring icen. The oftiee which Mr. Freese has held with so inu-li honor to himself a most important one.

Are the widows and orphans to be protected? Mr. Freese says yes. McNAB FOR SHERIFF. Supreme Importance Attaches to the Office. The contest in which James candidate for Sheriff, is encased, is one of the most hard-fought that has ever occurred in San Fraucisco Cmnty.

BEFORE AN IMMENSE CROWD. Thousands Go Out to the Great Sutro Baths. THERE WAS NO Midwinter Fair dates Thrown Open to the Moving of the Spur Track. A tremendous crowd went out to the Cliff yesterday to hear a concert by Cassasa's band in burro's bathhouse. In point of numbers yesterday's gathering at the Cliff was far greater than that on the.

occasion of a Rrand concert given by Scheel and orchestra. At no time durine the musical entertainment yesterday was there less than 10,000 persons In the vast pavilion. The tiers of seats stretching aloni: one side of the building were crowded, while the end terraces contained a great many people and thousands were sauntering through. the corridors and promenades. Crowds arrived on every tram to swell the numbers, and quite as many more visited tiutro Heights and returned without waiting for the concert to finish.

Sutro, accompanied by Jonathan V. Webster, who is nominated by the Populist party for Governor of California, took advantage ol the occasion to perform a little political work just election. When the band concluded the n'rst part of its concert Sntro appeared on the elevated platform iv full view of the assembled thousands. Besfeook hands with Cassasa and nodded pleasantly to him, while it was apparent he said some words of congratulation over the success nt the concert. Cassasa bowed ia returned and appeared to have said something, but as it t' ok his heaviest brass instruments to till the bathhouse it was no wonder voices could not be heard.

On turning, to tue people Mr. Satro was heard to say by those immediately around the band stand: "It tills my heart with delight to see so many happy faces befon tue this afternoon in these baths. It has been for this that I built such an establishmen for you and others yet unboru." tie said a whole lot aDout the baths, adding that only one thing remains to oe a j-ceut tare uuwntown to tue must be secured: "When a competing electric line is built to the entrance nf these baths," continued the speaker, "then I will throw them open to the public." Incidentally he spokei about tue election, and mentioned his own candidacy for Mayor of this city. The Populist nominee for Governor was introduced. He said very little more than to tell the people they had not come to listen to speeches, but to hear the music.

The people's cry, he said, should be on election day, "California, hau Francisco, Adoloh Sutro and the Populist party." Cassasa's Exposition Band made a decided hit as a popular military musical organization. It performed the following selections with such good effect that encores had to be given repeatedly to satisfy the audience: Grand overture, ''TauDuauser" (Wagner), acknowledged by the musical world me greatest overture written solo for cornet, aud Variations" (Hart man). Will E. Bates; "Remembrance ot me Midway" Tui'ks on parade. Chinese orebesira, creole wing Big Nance teaching the coloied 400.

the hula-nuki, ending witu the muscle dance; grana selectiou. oomortslng the icosi admired perns of Meyerbeer (Godfrey); solo for trombone (Tobini, Mr. F. K. Tobln.

the iilinruia tromboi.e soloist; vals- aCappiiccio (Yallstedt); grand overtuie, "William Tell" (Rossini); duo for cornet's, Gladiatois (fetee), Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bates; sceues "Piitotestjue" (Mass-net), (a) Marche.

(b) air de ballei. (c) Augelus, (d) Feie Boh'- me; humoiesaue. "Aikausaw 1 ravelet" gems from Maid Marian Koveu). Mr. Cassasa's band has improved remarkably from months of and I playing at the Midwinter Fair and in the Northwest.

This improvement was noticej able yesterday, particularly in the ensemble work and refinement of coloring, and the soloists received tremendous applause. Every engine and car on the two steam railways was called into requisition to carry the music-loving people, but the hx tr.iins of rive cars each were inadequate. On the Hicliuiond road trains were drawn by tandem locomotives, aua for. that reasou steamcar communition with the park discontinued for the day between Central avenue and street. had to pay double fares, though it was understood that before this time a 5-cent fare would be in effect.

Streetcar men had heard nothing of a change in fares to take place either to-day or to-morrow. The Midwinter Fair gates were thrown open yesterday to the public, and a many people strolled through the ruins of Sunset City. Very little is left of the temporary buildings. Teams and trucks can remove the debris in a few without. harrying, so there is no need whatever for the Southern Pacific srur track in Golden Giite Park.

Mayor Eilert has written a communication to tlie railroad eomDsny, notifying it that the track be removed in ten days. He is determined that the big corporation shall not encroach on the people's rights, and will more the track if the railroad people do not. AN HONORABLE CAREER. Why D. C.

M. Goodsetl Should Be Elected Supervisor. D. C. M.

Citizens' Non-Partmn nominee for Supervisor of the War is just the sort of mau that should be selected to make laws for our city. He is tried and true and ha 9 upheld cause of law aud order in our city when tbe great of those men called on to exercise the franchise were mere children. Mr. Goodsell is a native of York Sta'e and came tn California in 1850. Away back in the fifties thieves aud ttuias had possession of the pity government, and all honest men had to unite 10 expel them.

Then it was when 10,000 men became members of the Yigilauce organization which rid the city of such men as Mac- Gowan, Yankee Sullivan, Casey and others who were a disgrace to mankind. Matters were in a pretty bad state then; they in a pretty bad stale now, and it is right and proper that Mr. Goodsell, who has periled his life to sustain law and order, should again come to the front to right the thieves; and it is right that the people should know who he is and vote for him. Nor is his record confined to the oast. lie is the man who when the corporations tried to shirk their work of paving Kailroad avenue, South San Francisco, catiin to the front and saved the taxpayers of that section in factsnved the property from confiscation.

Such a man should receive the votes of all citizens Irrespective cf party. Mr. Goodseil has a grand record I and we expect to see hi? name at the bend of the poll for Supervisor. He. is the only American running in hi' ward for office.
