TRANSVAAL RAILROADS. It is estimated that at least 500 miles of railway will be laid during the next few years in the Transvaal, and a rail- way contract in the Transvaal is said to be well worth trying for. The con- tract is usually given to a burgher, who turns it over to a third party "for a consideration," and parties desiring to secure contracts should by all means be represented on the ground. The temper of the Boers has undergone a notable change as regards railroads, which they so bitterly opposed a few years ago, that it was needful to in- troduce the first almost by stealth, under the name of "tramway," in or- der to disarm their prejudice against all Hitlander innovations, and the de- struction of their ox teams by the rin- derpest having deprived them of all means of transport, they are said to be ready to welcome the railroads, whose construction is warmly recommended by President Kruger. The Volksraad has already passed a bill for the con- struction of a line fro-m Machadodorp to Krmelo. a distance of seventy miles*. which will open up rich coal fields, and is considering other projects. The Gov- ernment guarantees 3 1 / i per cent inter- est on the capital, receiving 1 In return 50 per cent of the surplus profits after deducting the interest. As the coun- try is opened up there will be an im- mense demand for agricultural imple- ments, a portion of which will be pur- chnppd with the $750, 000 recently loaned by the Government to the poorer Boers, in order to enable them to work their farms to better advantage. The more bad habits the average man has, the bottpr he seems to en- Joy life's good things. SHARKEY AND JEFFRIES. Tr)c Pugilists Have Quit Training and Are Now Eojoying Themselves. The National Club has Httle hope of pulling off the Sharkey and Jeffries twenty-round contest this month, but the directors expect to hear favorably from the health and police committee of the Board of Supervisors next month. Possibly in February the sailor pug- ilist and the heavy-weight champion of Southern California will decide, in this city, the mooted question of suprem- acy. Jeffries will leave this city to-mor- row for three days' outing on the marshes of Sonoma with Charles Eck- ert. Billy Delaney and Al Smith. They will be guests of a shooting club which has leased several acres of marsh land for duck-shooting purposes within easy distance of Burdell's station. Jeffries is very fond of duck shoot- ing and as he is said to be an expert with the gun his friends expect to re- ceive some nice mallard and canvas- back duck on his return from the happy huntinp grounds. Last evpninn Sharkey visited Hay- wards and boxed six rounds with Billy Gallagher in Villa Hall. The contest was purely an exhibition between the welter-weight and the heavyweight and was witnessed by a large and en- thusiastic crowd. The sailor pugilist will not make known his future plans for a few days. He said that if there were a possible chance of meeting with Jeffries he would remain in this State until the contest takes place, otherwise he will journey East and see what can be ac- complished so far as a second meeting with Peter Maher is concerned. SHE HAS SEEN WONDROUS CHANGES. Mighty changes have been wrojsrht by the hand of man in California during the past fifty years. Comparatively there are few people now liv- ing who are able to fully appreciate from a personal observation these wondrous changes in th*» development of the State during that time. Such a person, however, is Mrs. Emma Loveland, at present a resident of Santa Rosa, who is now In ;he city, the guest of her daughter, Mrs. May Dufau, at the Grenoble lc dging-house. Mrs. Loveland, wife of th<« iate Simeon Loveland, who died in Lassen County about fivo years ago, is a native of Virginia, 63 years of age—al- beit her sprightly manner and cheery mood would give one a different im- pression of her years. Living in Missouri at the time, in 1846, Mr. and Mrs. Loveland and their one child Joined a party of emigrants bound for California. The train consisted of 100 wagons, mostly drawn by oxen, and between 300 and 400 people. Making their way across the plains and over the mountains, the Love- lands arrived at Oregon City, Or., in the early part of January of 1847. Here they remained until September of the same year, when news of the discovery of gold in California was brought to that point and they came to San Francisco. Leaving his family established in a permanent residence in this city. Mr. Loveland joined the eager army of gold-seekers and repaired to the north- ern mining regions. He continued his mining operations, with decided success up to his latter years, until his demise. Mrs. Loveland's recital of her trip across the plains is rich in incidents, supplying a novel conglomeration of tragedy and comedy, joy and sor- row, humor and pathos, and were it published in detail it would com- prise a most interesting exposition of early pioneer history. The journey made by her party was even more rigorous than was usual in those days of pathfindirfg into unknown regions. Many of the people in the train were insufficiently supplied with money, with the natural re- sult of much suffering for food and other daily necessities. With a guide to show the way, the travelers had to make their own road over a new route which had been laid out by a rascally schemer who deliberately planned to make money off the emigrants. He sent them several hundred miles out of their way, and, with a large stock of provi- sions, contrived to overhaul the train at a time when the supplies had become nearly exhausted and to sell his wares to the wayfarers at enor- mous prices. A numerous bodyguard with an efficient armory equipment served to save the villains life from the outraged pilgrims. The party encountered serious and oft-recurring trouble with the In- dians, many cattle being stolen and two men being killed by the redskins. The latter part of the journey was accomplished with no more than the ordinary experiences incident to this pilgrimage of the early days. "But," declared Mrs. loveland, "our woes on the plains were enough for a life- time." "You see," she said in conclusion of the interview, "when we wanted groceries or meat we couldn't get them over the telephone, and if we need- ed a policeman we couldn't fetch him by beating on a lamp-post." INJURED AT A FIRE. A Blaze In the Missior) District Causes Inteose Excitement. An alarm through box 275 last even- ing was for a blaze at 316 Vicksburg street, which threatened for a short time to extinguish the adjoining block. When the fire company arrived it was discovered that a fierce blaze had al- ready gained headway, but it was not thought necessary to turn in a double alarm. In a short time the buildings in the rear had become ignited and only after a struggle were the flames extinguished and the adjoining buildings saved from danger. The property was owned by Michael Harrington and occupied as a dwelling by J. W. Wycefloet. The blaze was caused by the explosion of a coal oil lamp. Wycefloct was injured about the hands and face while en- deavoring to save some, of his furni- ture in the house. The damage will not exceed $1000. HOTEL ARRIVALS. RUSS HOUSE.

Thomes •J. and I T n B. C Donahan. Muner - John Heenaa "HAUZMER'S" HIGH ART BEWAILED A Photo Faker In- vades the Land of Innocents. Promises a Dozen Cabi- net Pictures for a Few- Cents. Rooms Given as Headquarters Vacant for Several Months. DAILY VERBAL EXPLOSION "Hair Dressers and Costumes at Your Disposal"— The Faker Vaguely Described. •Tl» true, 'tie pity; Ami pity -Us. 'tis true. Broad is the way and enticing the journey that leadeth to Suckerdom, and many there be that go in thereat. The latest spieler of the various ad- vnntagis to be found in the Land of the Innocents comes in the guise of a vender of coupons for a photograph gallery that has no existence except on a small piece of cardboard about three Inches long and two broad. In his line this particular member of the species faker forms the triple distilled essence of success. Hf- Is simply a "daisy," and has left a train r.-f mourner? that could assemble In Indian file and extend from Valencia street to the ferry. Several days ago a man canvassed the city for this spurious gallery. He did his work well. North Beach suf- fered from his ministrations as acutely ns did the Mission aid Butchertown. It is a suurce Of sorrow to the authnrl- ttcc that the man canr.ot be accurately described, but that is the way of it. He was <rlly- all the victims freely admit that but n<>n^ of them remember whether he is particularly old or young, whether nis mustache was black or sandy or what was the exact cut or color of in-? clothes he wore. A sort of hypnotic glairor resulted from the shrewd bunko mans visits that has loft everybody In a bewildered condi- tion on the descriptive part. v .'ith him this person carried a good- ly stick o.* cards. At least, he always did in ihe mornings, but when he hied him homeward in the evening, wher- ever his i lace of abode may be, his stock v.as wonderfully diminished— at others' expense. This is the way the cards read: A souvenir offer from Hauzmer's new ground floor gallery, 1354 Market street. To the holder of this order I wili give one dozen my l>est <;irbon finished cabinet photos, size 7x:*inches. free of charge. Hairdressers and costumes at your dis- posal. I do this to introduce my high art work. I guarantee to till this order free. Pay agent only Z, cents for this order. This order is good at any time. It wasn't lons after the scheme had been in operation until some of "Hauz- mer's" dupes began to make their ap- pearance at i::54 Market street to get the value of their nn ney. It came by way of exchange and in the nature of experience. The place was vacant and had been for about five months, as they all found by inquiry in the neighbor- hood. Prior to that time it had been occupied by a hardware dealer. When the female contingent of the dupe division learned this fact there was wailing from some and discreet silence from those naturally of a cool dispo- sition. But most of the male contin- gent brought into use all the naughty- words they had ever learned while ex- pressing disapprobation of the way the local telephone service is conducted. Then came a strong desire to extend the acquaintance with Mr. "Hauzmer" that had started off so unhappily—for all but the latter. Recourse to the directory discovered the fact that "Hauzmer"— so far as the name is concerned— is n myth. This was. how- ever, only another sample of his "high art work." If the gentleman is nabbed, and there are several angry men and women hot on his trail, his "art work" will ha\e to he of the superlative degree in order to escape retribution. A quarter of a dollar is not a larg" sum to lose, but some people take decided offense at being fooled; DEFENDED THE GAS. The President of the Company Says It Is Not Over Poisonous. The Streets Light Committee of the Board of Supervisors spent several hours yesterday investigating the qual- I lty of gas that is furnished the citi- zens of San Francisco. The meeting was held to look over Supervisor Lack- man's ordinance which is aimed to reg- ulate the percentage of carbonic mon- oxide in illuminating gas. Coroner Hawkins was present to give statistics tending to show that many of the deaths from asphyxiation are caused by the percentage of a large amount of the deadly monoxide in the gas that is furnished th- rate payers of this city. His statements were ques- tioned by J. B. Crockett, president of the gas company, who gave the rea- sons why water gas was used In San Francisco, stating that a high candle power illuminant was demanded by the people, and that only water gas as fur- nished by the company would supply it. He said that water gas had been used in San Francisco eleven years, and that It was only within the past two months that two sensational papers had dis- covered the gas was poisonous. The committee took the ordinance under advisement President Crockett offered to furnish the Coroner with the nroper apparatus to test the pas to ascertain its qualities. CUTTING EXPENSES. City Mall Commissioners Dismiss All Employes but Or)e. The City Hall Commissioners, in an- ticipation of the completion of the roof of the building, and in consideration of a lack of funds, reduced the expenses of the boiy to almost nothing at a meet- Ing: held yesterday. The Commissioners decided to act hereafter without compensation, and Architect Shea follows suit. Then the salary of the secretary was reduced from $200 to $100 and all of the other employes dismissed. The changes will save the city $550 per month. LINCOLN SCHOOL WAS IN DANGER Fire in the Basement Put Out by a Quick Policeman. Electric Wires Set the Wood Afire After the Pupils Had Left. The Second Blaze of the Kind Within a Week— Building May Bo Removed. The Lincoln School building on Fifth street near Market narrowly escaped destruction by fire yesterday, and but for the prompt action of Officer Minni- han of the police force might have been burned to the ground. The policeman was patrolling his beat when he discovered smoke issuing from the windows of the basement, in which are situated a number of class rooms. Hastily summoning a passing citizen he groped his way through the smoke and by the use of buckets of wa- ter obtained from a faucet in the rear yard extinguished the flames that were already licking their way up the wood- work toward the first floor. After the danger was over it was found that the fire came from the same cause as that which threatened the to- tal destruction of the Columbia Thea- ter on the evening previous. It started where the electric wires that furnished the light for the building entered the woodwork and but for the prompt ac- tion of the policeman in attacking the flames might have ended in a disas- trous conflagration, as the building ad- joins the frame structures comprising the Lincoln School property, extending from Fifth street to the Emporium. The damage from fire will be small owing to the fact that it was discov- ered before it had m^de any great headway. This is the second fire that has occurred in school buildings within the past ten days, the Redding School nn Pine street narrowly escaping de- struction on Sunday last and only be- ing saved by the prompt action of the employes of the Luiiine Baths. It has been the intention of the Board of Education for some time past to dis- pose of the Lincoln School grounds anri buildings because of the fact that this location is considered too valuable for school purposes, and the danger that threatened the school may hasten the consummation of the project.

TRANSVAAL RAILROADS.

It is estimated that at least 500 milesof railway willbe laid during the nextfew years in the Transvaal, and a rail-way contract in the Transvaal is saidto be well worth trying for. The con-tract is usually given to a burgher,who turns it over to a third party "fora consideration," and parties desiringto secure contracts should by all meansbe represented on the ground. Thetemper of the Boers has undergone anotable change as regards railroads,which they so bitterly opposed a fewyears ago, that it was needful to in-troduce the first almost by stealth,under the name of "tramway," in or-der to disarm their prejudice againstall Hitlander innovations, and the de-struction of their ox teams by the rin-derpest having deprived them of allmeans of transport, they are said to beready to welcome the railroads, whoseconstruction is warmly recommendedby President Kruger. The Volksraadhas already passed a bill for the con-struction of a line fro-m Machadodorpto Krmelo. a distance of seventy miles*.which willopen up rich coal fields, andis considering other projects. The Gov-ernment guarantees 31/iper cent inter-est on the capital, receiving1 In return50 per cent of the surplus profits afterdeducting the interest. As the coun-try is opened up there will be an im-mense demand for agricultural imple-ments, a portion of which will be pur-chnppd with the $750, 000 recently loanedby the Government to the poorer Boers,in order to enable them to work theirfarms to better advantage.

The more bad habits the averageman has, the bottpr he seems to en-Joy life's good things.

SHARKEY AND JEFFRIES.Tr)c Pugilists Have Quit Training

and Are Now Eojoying

Themselves.The National Club has Httle hope of

pulling off the Sharkey and Jeffriestwenty-round contest this month, butthe directors expect to hear favorablyfrom the health and police committeeof the Board of Supervisors nextmonth.

Possibly in February the sailor pug-ilist and the heavy-weight champion ofSouthern California willdecide, in thiscity, the mooted question of suprem-acy.

Jeffries will leave this city to-mor-row for three days' outing on themarshes of Sonoma with Charles Eck-ert. BillyDelaney and Al Smith. Theywill be guests of a shooting club whichhas leased several acres of marsh landfor duck-shooting purposes withineasy distance of Burdell's station.

Jeffries is very fond of duck shoot-ing and as he is said to be an expertwith the gun his friends expect to re-ceive some nice mallard and canvas-back duck on his return from thehappy huntinp grounds.

Last evpninn Sharkey visited Hay-wards and boxed six rounds with Billy

Gallagher in Villa Hall. The contestwas purely an exhibition between thewelter-weight and the heavyweightand was witnessed by a large and en-thusiastic crowd.

The sailor pugilist will not makeknown his future plans for a few days.He said that if there were a possiblechance of meeting with Jeffries hewould remain in this State until thecontest takes place, otherwise he willjourney East and see what can be ac-complished so far as a second meetingwith Peter Maher is concerned.

SHE HAS SEEN WONDROUS CHANGES.Mighty changes have been wrojsrht by the hand of man in California

during the past fifty years. Comparatively there are few people now liv-ing who are able to fully appreciate from a personal observation thesewondrous changes in th*» development of the State during that time.

Such a person, however, is Mrs. Emma Loveland, at present a residentof Santa Rosa, who is now In ;he city, the guest of her daughter, Mrs.May Dufau, at the Grenoble lc dging-house.

Mrs. Loveland, wife of th<« iate Simeon Loveland, who died in LassenCounty about fivo years ago, is a native of Virginia, 63 years of age—al-

beit her sprightly manner and cheery mood would give one a different im-pression of her years.

Living in Missouri at the time, in 1846, Mr. and Mrs. Loveland and theirone child Joined a party of emigrants bound for California. The train

consisted of 100 wagons, mostly drawn by oxen, and between 300 and 400people.

Making their way across the plains and over the mountains, the Love-lands arrived at Oregon City, Or., in the early part of January of 1847.Here they remained until September of the same year, when news of thediscovery of gold in California was brought to that point and they cameto San Francisco.

Leaving his family established in a permanent residence in this city. Mr.Loveland joined the eager army of gold-seekers and repaired to the north-ern mining regions. He continued his mining operations, with decidedsuccess up to his latter years, until his demise.

Mrs. Loveland's recital of her trip across the plains is rich in incidents,supplying a novel conglomeration of tragedy and comedy, joy and sor-row, humor and pathos, and were it published in detail it would com-prise a most interesting exposition of early pioneer history.

The journey made by her party was even more rigorous than was usualin those days of pathfindirfg into unknown regions. Many of the peoplein the train were insufficiently supplied with money, with the natural re-sult of much suffering for food and other daily necessities.

With a guide to show the way, the travelers had to make their ownroad over a new route which had been laid out by a rascally schemer whodeliberately planned to make money off the emigrants. He sent themseveral hundred miles out of their way, and, with a large stock of provi-sions, contrived to overhaul the train at a time when the supplies hadbecome nearly exhausted and to sell his wares to the wayfarers at enor-mous prices. A numerous bodyguard with an efficient armory equipmentserved to save the villains life from the outraged pilgrims.

The party encountered serious and oft-recurring trouble with the In-dians, many cattle being stolen and two men being killed by the redskins.

The latter part of the journey was accomplished with no more than theordinary experiences incident to this pilgrimage of the early days. "But,"declared Mrs. loveland, "our woes on the plains were enough for a life-time."

"You see," she said in conclusion of the interview, "when we wantedgroceries or meat we couldn't get them over the telephone, and if we need-ed a policeman we couldn't fetch him by beating on a lamp-post."

INJURED AT A FIRE.A Blaze In the Missior) District

Causes Inteose Excitement.An alarm through box 275 last even-

ing was for a blaze at 316 Vicksburgstreet, which threatened for a shorttime to extinguish the adjoining block.When the fire company arrived it wasdiscovered that a fierce blaze had al-ready gained headway, but it was notthought necessary to turn in a doublealarm.

In a short time the buildings in therear had become ignited and onlyaftera struggle were the flames extinguishedand the adjoining buildings saved fromdanger. The property was owned byMichael Harrington and occupied as adwelling by J. W. Wycefloet. Theblaze was caused by the explosion of acoal oil lamp. Wycefloct was injuredabout the hands and face while en-deavoring to save some, of his furni-ture in the house. The damage willnotexceed $1000.

"Hair Dressers and Costumes at YourDisposal"— The Faker Vaguely

Described.

•Tl» true, 'tie pity;Ami pity -Us. 'tis true.

Broad is the way and enticing thejourney that leadeth to Suckerdom,and many there be that go in thereat.

The latest spieler of the various ad-vnntagis to be found in the Land ofthe Innocents comes in the guise of avender of coupons for a photograph

gallery that has no existence except ona small piece of cardboard about threeInches long and two broad. In his linethis particular member of the species

faker forms the triple distilled essenceof success. Hf- Is simply a "daisy," andhas left a train r.-f mourner? that couldassemble InIndian file and extend fromValencia street to the ferry.

Several days ago a man canvassedthe city for this spurious gallery. Hedid his work well. North Beach suf-fered from his ministrations as acutely

ns did the Mission aid Butchertown.It is a suurce Of sorrow to the authnrl-ttcc that the man canr.ot be accuratelydescribed, but that is the way of it. Hewas <rlly-all the victims freely admitthat

—but n<>n^ of them remember

whether he is particularly old or young,whether nis mustache was black orsandy or what was the exact cut orcolor of in-? clothes he wore. A sort ofhypnotic glairor resulted from theshrewd bunko mans visits that hasloft everybody In a bewildered condi-tion on the descriptive part.

v.'ith him this person carried a good-ly stick o.* cards. At least, he alwaysdid in ihe mornings, but when he hiedhim homeward in the evening, wher-ever his ilace of abode may be, hisstock v.as wonderfully diminished— atothers' expense. This is the way thecards read:

A souvenir offer from Hauzmer's newground floor gallery, 1354 Market street.To the holder of this order Iwili give onedozen my l>est <;irbon finished cabinetphotos, size 7x:*inches. free of charge.Hairdressers and costumes at your dis-posal. Ido this to introduce my high artwork. Iguarantee to till this order free.Pay agent only Z, cents for this order.This order is good at any time.Itwasn't lons after the scheme had

been in operation until some of "Hauz-mer's" dupes began to make their ap-pearance at i::54 Market street to getthe value of their nn ney. It came byway of exchange and in the nature ofexperience. The place was vacant andhad been for about fivemonths, as theyall found by inquiry in the neighbor-hood. Prior to that time it had beenoccupied by a hardware dealer.

When the female contingent of thedupe division learned this fact there waswailing from some and discreet silencefrom those naturally of a cool dispo-sition. But most of the male contin-gent brought into use all the naughty-words they had ever learned while ex-pressing disapprobation of the way thelocal telephone service is conducted.

Then came a strong desire to extendthe acquaintance with Mr. "Hauzmer"that had started off so unhappily—forall but the latter. Recourse to thedirectory discovered the fact that"Hauzmer"— so far as the name isconcerned— is n myth. This was. how-ever, only another sample of his "highart work."Ifthe gentleman is nabbed, and there

are several angry men and women hoton his trail, his "art work" will ha\eto he of the superlative degree in orderto escape retribution. A quarter of adollar is not a larg" sum to lose, butsome people take decided offense atbeing fooled;

DEFENDED THE GAS.The President of the Company

Says It Is Not Over Poisonous.The Streets Light Committee of the

Board of Supervisors spent severalhours yesterday investigating the qual-

Ilty of gas that is furnished the citi-zens of San Francisco. The meetingwas held to look over Supervisor Lack-man's ordinance which is aimed to reg-ulate the percentage of carbonic mon-oxide in illuminatinggas.

Coroner Hawkins was present to givestatistics tending to show that manyof the deaths from asphyxiation arecaused by the percentage of a largeamount of the deadly monoxide in thegas that is furnished th- rate payersof this city. His statements were ques-tioned by J. B. Crockett, president ofthe gas company, who gave the rea-sons why water gas was used In SanFrancisco, stating that a high candlepower illuminant was demanded by thepeople, and that only water gas as fur-nished by the company would supply it.

He said that water gas had been usedin San Francisco eleven years, and thatIt was only within the past two monthsthat two sensational papers had dis-covered the gas was poisonous. Thecommittee took the ordinance underadvisement

President Crockett offered to furnishthe Coroner with the nroper apparatusto test the pas to ascertain its qualities.

CUTTING EXPENSES.

City Mall Commissioners DismissAll Employes but Or)e.

The City Hall Commissioners, in an-ticipation of the completion of the roofof the building, and in consideration of

a lack of funds, reduced the expenses ofthe boiy to almost nothing at a meet-Ing: held yesterday.

The Commissioners decided to acthereafter without compensation, andArchitect Shea follows suit. Then thesalary of the secretary was reducedfrom $200 to $100 and all of the otheremployes dismissed. The changes willsave the city $550 per month.

LINCOLN SCHOOLWAS INDANGER

Fire in the Basement PutOut by a Quick

Policeman.

Electric Wires Set the Wood

Afire After the PupilsHad Left.

The Second Blaze of the Kind Withina Week— Building May Bo

Removed.

The Lincoln School buildingon Fifthstreet near Market narrowly escaped

destruction by fire yesterday, and butfor the prompt action of Officer Minni-han of the police force might have beenburned to the ground.

The policeman was patrolling his

beat when he discovered smoke issuing

from the windows of the basement, inwhich are situated a number of classrooms. Hastily summoning a passing

citizen he groped his way through thesmoke and by the use of buckets of wa-ter obtained from a faucet in the rearyard extinguished the flames that werealready licking their way up the wood-work toward the first floor.

After the danger was over it wasfound that the fire came from the samecause as that which threatened the to-tal destruction of the Columbia Thea-ter on the evening previous. Itstartedwhere the electric wires that furnishedthe light for the building entered thewoodwork and but for the prompt ac-tion of the policeman in attacking theflames might have ended in a disas-trous conflagration, as the buildingad-joins the frame structures comprisingthe Lincoln School property, extendingfrom Fifth street to the Emporium.

The damage from fire will be smallowing to the fact that it was discov-ered before it had m^de any greatheadway. This is the second fire thathas occurred in school buildings withinthe past ten days, the Redding Schoolnn Pine street narrowly escaping de-struction on Sunday last and only be-ing saved by the prompt action of theemployes of the Luiiine Baths.

Ithas been the intention of the Boardof Education for some time past to dis-pose of the Lincoln School grounds anribuildings because of the fact that thislocation is considered too valuable forschool purposes, and the danger thatthreatened the school may hasten theconsummation of the project.
