Over the Bills ofExperts.

SAID TO BE EXORBITANT.

They Were Incurred in theCase of the Late Eiezer

Frost.

REPUDIATED ON ALL SIDES.

A Suit Will Probably Be Brought toDetermine the Responsi-

bility.

SAN JOSE, Cal., Sept. s.—Mrs. DoraFrost and Mrs. Sarah "Wissman, the ex-ocutrices of the estate of the late EiezerFrost, are wondering who is responsiblefor the bill of $736 presented by ProfessorCunningham of Berkeley for making a

chemical analysis of the stomach and brainof Eiezer Frost and giving expert testi-mony at the inquest and preliminary ex-amination of Dr. Case, who was chargedwith the death of Frost.

Professor Cunningham charged $100 perday for the three days he gave testimonyat the inquest and $50 for analyzing thebrain, and other expenses attached to his\u25a0work bring the total up to $736.

Dr. Trueman also wants $150 for making

an autopsy and $50 for removing the brain.Dr. Burr has al^o presented a bill for $100for assisting at the autopsy and $.M) for car-

the organs of the deceased to banFrancisco ina glass jar.

There is some doubt as to whether theestate of Frost or the State is responsiblefor these bills, and a suit willprobably bethe result.

William C. Vinter, the business agent ofMrs. Frost, says the executrices have re-fused to pay the bills, because they hadnot ordered the work done. He says thework was ordered by the Coroner, and hewilllet the parties bring suit before he willsubmit to such exorbitant charges as heterms them.

Coroner Secord sajs he told Erwin Frostand others when they demanded an in-quest that the estate would have to paythe expenses, 'and that he would not pro-ceed unless he had the assurances of theexecutrices not to oppose the bills. Hesaid he did not see how the estatecould escape paying the bills, and if thebills were not pad he would never recom-mend their payment to the county.

The riotsoccurred on June 10, last, some weeksbefore the KuCheng riots, which a British-American commission isnow investigating.Notwithstanding the fact that the first out-rages were practically as severe, so far asAmericans were concerned, as to thelatter, the investigation has not yet com-menced, and from present indications, itdoes not look as though the British wouldbegin their inquiry until early in thewinter. This delay is not at allsatisfactoryto the United States, and the determina-tion has, therefore, been reached to makean independent investigation.

TO LIGHT MARKET STREETMerchants' Association Favors

the Use of ElectricityEntirely.

Claims of Associated CreditorsCalled to the Attention of

the Supervisors.

The Merchants' Association placeditself on record regarding the proposedlighting of market street by electricity atits monthly meeting yesterday.

The fact that a petition was before theBoard of Supervisors requesting thatMarket street, from the ferries to Valenciastreet, be lighted by electricity, was oailedto the attention of the association, and aresolution was passed indorsing the pro-posed new system and suggesting to theSupervisors that the wires for the lightsbe strung from iron masts which shouldbe set in the center of the street, sur-rounded by basalt-block squares built upfrom the surface of the street. These basesto be large enough to serve as restingplaces for pedestrians crossing the street,or as a refuge from danger of passsingteams.

A committee appointed at the last meet-ing in the matter of obstructions to thesidewalks reported that ithad called uponthe proprietors of the daily newspapers,and had been assured that they would doeverything in their power to assist themovement. The committee stated that,as the papers were the parties most inter-ested, having numerous bulletin-boardsthat wouldcome under the proposed or-dinance, their example would most likelystart a grand movement toclear the streetsof all obstructions.

Resolutions indorsing the Nicaraguacanal and urging its loyal support by Cali-fornia's Representatives in Congress wereadopted.Itwas decided to attend the Mechanics'

Fair in a body on Wednesday morningnext to inspect the association's exhibitof streetwork, and to extend an invitationto the Mayor, Board of Supervisors andSuperintendent of Streets to be present onthat occasion.

The association took occasion to urge theclaims of the Associated Creditors of theCityand County to recognition at the handsof the Board of Supervisors, and the follow-

ing resolution in relation to the matterwas passed:

Resolved, That we call upon tha Board ofSupervisors of the City and County of SanFrancisco to include in their tax levy for theensuing fiscal year an amount saffioient to payall legitimate outstanding indebtedness of theCity forgoods, wares, merchandise and laborthat are indispensably necessary when sup-plied for the prosecution of the functions ofthe municipal government.

The association also took cognizance ofthe contracts for street sweeping now pend-ing before the Board of Supervisors, andadopted these resolutions:

WIEBBSAB, Responsible parties have put inreasonable bids for taking the contracts forcleaning and sprinkling the streets, and doingthe work hereafter under the specificationsprepared by and based upon 'he exi.erience ofthe Merchants' Association : and whereas, sucha contract ifproperly carried out will giveclean and wholesome streets st a reasonableprice; therefore be it

Resolved, That the board of directors of theMerchant*' Association ask the Board of Super-visors to award the contracts for cleaning andsprinkling streets of the City at its firstmeet-ing or without any unnecessary delay; andfurther

Resolved, That the Merchants' Associationwill ext-end Its hearty support and assist inevery effort to make the system under the newcontract successful inevery respect.

THE SHOTS WENT WILD.Narrow Escape of the Bold

Burglar Who Is Wantedby the Police.

A Mission Householder Fires TwiceWith a Shotgun but Misses

His Mark.

The burglar who has been operating soextensively in the Mission and WesternAddition had a narrow escape from beingfilled fullof lead by an augry householderearly Wednesday morning at Twenty-fifthand Noe streets.

About 2 o'clock the lady of the househeard a suspicious noise at one of the win-dows. She awakened her son and toldhim a burglar was trying to get into thehouse. He jumped out of bed and armedhimself with a shotgun. He cautiouslyopened the window of his bedroom andsaw the burglar trying to force open awindow on the ground floor with a"jimmy."

He yelled to the burglar to clear out ofthat and followed itup by firing a shot athim, which, unfortunately went wide.The burglar fled as fast as his legs couldcarry him down Twenty-fifth street and an-other shot from the gun accelerated hisspeed.

Aneighbor named Sims happened to beon his way home and the scared burglardashed past him in his stocking feet, car-rying his shoes inhis hand. He was mut-tering to himself and Sims thought he wasparalyzed with fear.

Detective Cody and Officer Graham werein the neighborhood, but at differentpoints, and when they heard the first shotthey thought, from the peculiar sound,that itwas caused by a blast in the quarrynear by, where the men work at nights.When they heard the second shot they ranin the direction of the shooting, as theycame to the conclusion some one had en-countered the burglar.

They saw Sims, who told them the di-rection he thought the burglar had taken.They dashed along the street, but wereunable to sight him, and were forced tothe conclusion that he had turned into oneof the side streets and given them theslip.

The police are afraid that the publicitygiven to their precautions to capture himwillmake him cease his operations for atime and prevent that most desirable endfrom being attained.

CHINESE POISON JAPS.Four Japanese Suffer After Eating at a

Chinese Restaurant.Last Wednesday evening four young

Japanese belonging to the Japanese Chris-tian Mission of this city went to a Chineserestaurant at Waverley and Washingtonstreets and ordered a dinner.

They received good attention and whatthey presumed a good dinner. Yesterdaymorning, however, they were all taken ill,and a doctor was hastily summoned.Itwas soon discovered that itwas a case

of poisoning, and antidotes were ad-ministered with but little effect. Twomore physicians were called in,Dr.F. S.Coofe of O'Farrell street taking charge ofthe case.

The doctors worked hard, but at 1o'clockyesterday afternoon one of the victimsdied. His suffering was very great, andall medical skill was unable to relievehim.

He turned perfectly black in the face, hishead swelling to almost twice its normalsize. The doctors hope to save one of theother three, but they say two of them willhave to die.

Great excitement prevails in the Jap-anese quarters and many threats ofven-geance are openly spoken. The four vic-tims are young men of high standing inJapanese circles, and, as they belonged tothe Christian church, they had manyfriends here who intend to prosecute theprisoners.

The Chinese disclaim any knowledgewhatever of the case and refuse to talk.

The minister and officers of the missionhave been endeavoring to keep the Japan-ese from going into Chinatown, fearingsome trouble.

Frank Mibami, one of the victims,stated yesterday that he and his com-

ganions were undoubtedly poisoned by thebinese, as an evidence ofhatred resulting

from the late trouble between China andJapan.
