Dr. Spencer’s report was placed on file, 4s was a communication from George T.

In reference to his report Dr. Regens- burger offered a resolution_ to the effect that the authorities of San Mateo and San Francisco counties should be notified of the nuisances along Colma Creek and re- quested to abate them at once, according to the law. . % This was carried and the meeting ad- journed. THEY REFUSED TO INDIOT. The United States Grand Jury Consid- ered the Case Trivial. The United States Grand Jury refused to find a true bill against Michael Maginnis, charged with committing an assault upon a United States Custom-house officer, yes- terday, so he was discharged from cus- is amendment had not been sec- The prisoner was formerly a fireman on ic Mail Company’s steamer Aca- pulco, and several months ago he got into an altercation with Inspector John T. Foley. He refused to be searched, and when Foley persisted a free fight followed. Maginnis was arrested and had a hearing before United States Commissioner Hea- cock. The Judge considered that there no case and discharged the prisoner. United States Marshal Baldwin and the United States District Attorney thought differently, however, and persisted in pre- senting the case to the Grand Jury. The jurors refused to indict. and at the same time the foreman remarked that it was a pity that such trivial matters had to be brought before them. DAVID WILLIAMSON GONE, HE WAS AN OFFICER OF THE CALIFORNIA VOLUN- TEERS. A PIONEER NEW:! KNxown TOo CITY AND STAT: Dayid Williamson, better known as Colonel Williamson, one of the pioneer newspaper men of this State, died on Tuesday last after an illness of several years. Hecame to this city from New York in 1853, when a boy of 16, and was a fellow-passenger on the steamship with Barclay Henley. He engaged in news- paper work on the old Herald, afterward taking a place with the Sun, and for a brief period was connected with the Wild West, one of the early illustrated journals. Mr, Williamson held the office of secre- tary of the State Senate for the years -59, 1859-60, 1860-61. His popularity was shown from the fact that he received votes from all parties for that office during the last term which he served. In 1861 he was appointed regimental quartermaster, fourth Infantry, California Volunteers. v President Johnson made him artermaster United States Volunteers. At the close of the war he not mustered out, but remained in the service until 1867, when he was tendered a lieutenantcy in the regular army, but de- clined it. In 1870 he was appointed Consul-General at Callao, Peru. Four years later he was transferred to Val, 0, Chile, and was subsequently made Charge d’ Affaires of the American legation at Santiago. IIl health forced him to resign from the consular service in 1878, just as he had been ten- dered the office of Consul-Generalat Mel- bourne. Colonel Williamson suffered from a com- plication of ills, due to an attack of rheu- matism contracted while in the service of the army. Colonel Williamson was a Mason and one of the early members of California Commandery No. 1, also of the Knights Templar and Society of California Volun- teers. He married Anna Bromley, eldest daughter of George T. Bromley, in Sa mento in 1864. She died in 1868, leaving two children, David and Minnie. The lat- ter resided with her father at the time of his death; the former is a resident of Ala- meda. Besides his son and daughter, Colonel Williamson leaves two little grand- children to mourn his loss, e AMONG _THE:'- LABOR UNIONS. Debs to Be Given a Reception—Carpen- ters May Strike. Eugene Debs, the leader of the A. R. U., who is now on a lecturing tour, will be tendered a reception Tuesday next by the labor organizations of this city. This was_ decided at the meeting Sunday night of In addition to the action to be taken by the federation, a number of other organizations not strictly The unemployed will be represented, a organization having been formed with the following officers: Wal- f is to boil the water before { seems to me to be all wrong,” said | ‘to let the impression get abroad | that the water supply of San Francisco is | b | n my opinion we have a magnificent | body of good water in Lake Merced. Of | course the water contains bacteria—all | water does—but Dr. Koch, the eminent ! bacteriological authority, says that the | character of bacteria described by Dr. Spencer are not only not harmful but are actually beneficial, as they make war upon | and destroy the ki that breed diseases. | I cannot see where the danger of contam- ination comes in from Lake Merced, and 1 believe it is as good a body of water as can be found in the countrv. I understand that the Spring Valley Company has al- ready had plans drawn to dig a tunnel through the hills to carry the waters of Colma Creek into the ocean. This will ob- viate even fancied dangers from this | source. ‘“However, in order to expedite matters I wish to offer a resolution that the Spring Valley Water Company be directed to pro- ceed at once to divert the waters of Colma Creek into the ocean. That will settle the whole business.” ““And I move toamend,” said the Mayor, “that_this board condemn the water of Lake Merced until the company has fin- ished the tunnel and so diverted the water.’\ Silence reigned and no one came to the chairman’s rescue by seconding the amend- ment. “Won't some one second this matter?” said the Mayor. “Well, then it fails.” A moment later, while the secretary was stating the original resolution, he con- tinued: *“But I want a vote on my amend- ment. I want to see you gentlemen on record on this question.” 2 ““This is carrying your authority alto- ether too far,” exclaimed Dr. Regens- fiurger, springing to his feet. *‘You have no right to ask a vote on an amendment that has not been seconded.” e ““All right,”’ returned the Mayor, “I'll drop it, but you may rest assured that rhe public will understand the stand you have taken on this matter.” : 7 “I want you to stop casting reflections on myself and the other members of this board,” said Dr. Regensburger excitedly. “The public will understand us, and it already understands you. You slur peovle without the slightest provocation and cast reflections that you have no right to_cast. The public will understand both sides of this question.” I'is.-x no slurs,”’ replied the Mayor. “Yes you did,”’ returned the angry doc- tor. “Well, I did not intend todo se,” replied the Mayor, end the matter was Ajlrop&ed. The original motion was carried, Mayor ter Joyer, president; C. C. Haggerty, vice- president; A. J, Ford, recording secretary; R. McLaughlin, corresponding secre- tary; s, financial secretary; W. ik treasurer, and John Gogan, ser- geant-at-arms. The main object of the organization of the unemployed is to secure work for all | those upon the register. It has been de. cided that only such persons as are eiti- zens of the United States and residents of | San Francisco for one year shall be en- titled to registration. Some time ago an | effort was made to secure a contract for grading at Fort Point, but upon investiga. tion it was found that without capital nothing could be done, as tools were not to be had. Now it is proposed to secure from the valley railroad management a contract to do a portion of the grading, the tools for the work to be furnished by the road, or by a contractor with whom the organization expects to make arrange- ments. A committee of the unemployed has the matter in hand and reports prog- Tess. A circular has been issued by the district councils of the carpenters’ unions for a mass-meeting to be held in the Turk-street Temsyle, 115 Turk street, Saturday evening, April 6. The object of the meeting is to improve the condition of trade. There are four unions comprising the council. One organization, known as the Amalgamated Union, is composed of German wood- workers, who do not affiliate with the local men. According to Guy Lathrop, who is finan- cial secretary of local union No. 483, there are 2200 carpenters in.the city. Of that number 1500 are employed at wages rang- ing from $175 to g’.’. 25 per day. Thisis about §1 per day less than was paid previ- ous to the building of the Midwinter Fair structures. The carpenters look upon the fair as one of the causes for the present rate of wages, as the advertisements of the prolonged fair brought hundreds of car- penters here who have been unable to get away. From the present condition of af- fairs it is more than likely a general de- mand will be made for an increase of wages, and should that be refused a strike will follow. Money has been received from Eastern unions ~ to back the effort about to be made here, but whether definite steps will be taken this summer will be decided after the mass-meeting on Tuesday night. “District Organizer E. L. Malsbary has been looking into the matter and has gathered data, which will be presented to the unions this week. % In order that funds may be raised by the local unions for use in case of a strike a THIS IS A NEW VOTING MACHINE. INVENTION OF SOLOMON Ducas, A RESIDENT OF THIS CITY. THE HOW IT RECORDS BALLOTS. To SHow REesurts TEN MINUTES AFTER THE PoLLsS ARE CLOSED. “I am not a practical machinist,” said Solomon Ducas of 11 Montgomery street yesterday, “but I do something in the me- chanical line, and as a result of my tinker- ing have evolved a machine which I call a ‘“‘voting machine,” and am firmly of the opinion that it will meet the wants that are required to record a correct count of votes for each candidate and overcome the objections that have been presented against other machines.” The machine is 2 feet 6 inches in length, 8 inches wide: and 11 inches high. Each machine is calculated to show on its face the names of 100 candidates. Opposite each name is a spindle numbered from 1 to 100 consecutively. Within certain lines, in which are the names of the candidates for a given office, there is the title of the office, and under each name is a concealed register having a numerical capacity of 900. This is connected with a ratchet wheel that can, by means of an adjustable screw be set to correspond to the number of candidates for each office. In connection with these wheels there are bars that swing on stanchions. Each of these bars Fig. 1-A View of the New Machine. are equal in length to the space occupied by the names of the candidates for each office. At one end of the machine is an inner door through which protrude shafts to which are affixed cranks, one of which works an eccentric that sets the machine for each voter who presents himself. The that their use will save the taxpayers in two elections.” 3 Mr. Ducas has had one machinebuilt of brass, but is now having one builtof steel. He has made all the arrangements to have his invention patented. A ROWING REGATTA, The South ¥End Club Arrauges for Three Events. The South End Rowing Club will give a rowing regatta at El Campo on Decoration | day. There will be three races. The first will be for the junior class amateur cham- pionship of the Pacific Coast for a four- oared barge, distance ore and a half miles with a turn. The second event will be for the amateur single scull championship, for a distance of one and a half miles with a turn, A four-oared barge race for one and a half miles with a turn will close the series. This race will be for the amateur cham- pionship of the coast for the senior class. The entries will close on May 15. The first race will be called at 11:30 A. u., May 30. e | NEW PILOT OOMMISSION. Installation of Messrs. Mayo, Caduc and Hackett, The new Board of Pilot Commissioners were installed yesterday afternoon, Messrs. Caduc, Mayo and Hackett entering upon their new duties immediately. Al- though three Commissieners have been ap- pointed there were only two retiring | officials to tender them the office. Captain { Young died in last December and his place remained vacant until Governor udd appointed the new board. Captain J. H. Bruce called the meeting to order, and after he and Captain Trask had transacted the routine business they turned over the office to the new Commis- sioners. The latter appointed Alfred Mur- phy secretary and then adjourned. DIRECTORS WITHOUT SHARES | WATERHOUSE'S PECULIAR Posi- TION IN THE PEOPLE'S HOME BANK. WHY H1s NoTe FOR $10,000 Is Now WorTH NoTHING AT ALL. ™ The suit of the Pacific Bank and 8. G. Murphy to obtain possession of a note for $10,000, made by Columbus Waterhouse, | and originally deposited in the Pacific Bank, is the means of throwing more light upon the interesting financial manage- nent of the Pine-street institution before t finally went to the wall. The suit in question was originally com- menced by 8. G. Murphy to recover from Mr. Waterhouse the ameunt of the note, which, he alleged, had been assigned to | him. Soon after this suit was commenced the Pacific Bank entered the case as an in- tervenor and claimed the note and its value, the one from Murphy and the other from Waterhouse, claiming that the note had never been assigned to Murphy and that he was not legally entitled toits value. In his answers to Murphy and the Pacific, which were filed yesterday, Waterhouse tells an interesting story as to how the note was made and placed in the Pacific Bank. In October, 1888, he says, Dick McDon- ald wanted him to become a director in the People’s Home Savings Bank, and to qual- ify him for the position he issued to Water- | house several shares of the People’s Home Bank stock. For these shares he paid | nothing whatever. Soon after that, as an | accommodation to the Pacific Bank, he drew up a note for $10,000 in favor of the | Pacific Bank, and deposited the same in | the bank, without, however, receiving any consideration for the note, Tosecure this phantom bit of paper, he indorsed over to the bank the fictitious shares of stock RININIA] 2 : i FIG. 2—A VIEW OF THE INTERIOR OF THE MACHINE. spindles rest on springs and the lower end pass through a perforated plate, and when pressed reach a rollof paper at the bottom of the machine. Outside of the inner there is an outer one, and between the two is an automatic register connected with the ec- centric that registers only the number of votes cast. That is the only set of figures visible when the machine 1sin operation. Underneath the bars depressed when a sKindle is pushed down is a strong cord that forms a saddle in which each bar rests. “Thismachine isone that can be operated by any one ‘museased of the slightest de- gree of intelligence,” said Mr. Ducas, “and presents no complication to the voter. All he has to do is to press the spindle oppo- site the name of the candidate he wants to vote for and the machine does the rest. That is, it registers on the individual register the number of votes cast for that particular candidate. The moment he has pressed a spindle the bottom punctures a hole in the paper on the roll, and the spindles op- posite other candidates for the same office are locked, so that no man could vote for two or more candidates for the same of- fice, The string under the bars has just enough slack to allow one spindle to do its work, but if both shonld be pressed at one time this string would prevent either from making a record. “When the polls are closed the machine is taken from the box and turned over to those who are to keep tally. The plate which conceals the individual registers is remoyed, and the vote cast for each candi- date is shown and called off by the num- ber on the spindle opposite. Then the person_having the key of the inner door o] of s it and removes the roll, which is the cial record. On each line of punctures there is a figure that corresponds with that on the spindle. These punctures must agree with the figures on the registers. hen, there is connected with each office to be voted for an individual receptacle in ‘which a voter who wishes to deposit a vote fora gerson whose name does not appear on the printed list. He can drop his ticket in this, and when he does to he locks the spindles. “I claim for this,” said the inventor, pointing to his contrivance, “that it will prevent fraud and eive the result of the vote within ten minutes after the polls are closed. Each machine can be built for about $50 and I bave so much confidence icnic is to be given next Sunday at Har- gor View Park.

This as- | signment of the stock to the bank, he says | in” his answer, was for the %urpnse of se- curing the ownership of McDonald in the shares of stock should Waterhouse die. | The agreement between them, Water- | house says, was that he should never be | called on. to pay the note, but was to allow it to liein the bank and help swell its assets. The dividends which were paid on the stock he was supposed to hold were paid back into the bank as interest on the note, bur whether it went to Dick MecDon- ald’s private account, or into the bank funds, he professes not to know. He could have canceled ths note at any time by ggvmg up the shares and resigning as a irector in the People’'s Home Bank, but the McDonalds wanted him to continue in the position, and so he allowed the matter to stand as it was. In October, 1892, he says, he renewed the note, because the bank said if he did not | the statute of limitations would mix the | matter up, and it is this later note that is the subject of the present controversy. Murphy has possession of the note, and says that it was assigned to him some months after the bank closed its doors. Under what peculiar circumstances this was done, to the detriment of other credi- tors, is not stated. The contention of the Pacific Bank is that it never assigned the note to Murphy, and Waterhouse makes a general denial of all allegations and tells the foregoing story to show that the note is worth nothing. e A JURY'S DECISION REVERSED. A Double-End Cable-Car Is Not an In- vention. The suit of dohn Hammond vs., the Stockton Combined Harvester and Agri- cultural Works was decided in favor of the defendantsin the United States Circuit Court by Judge McKennnfyemrdny. The plaintiff sought damages for the infringe- ment of a nn%anwd dxgn fora donbl&ee:‘a cable-car, similar to those in use on the California-street road. On December 20, 1893, a jury gave a verdict in favor of Hammond, but Judge McKenna granted a new trial, and yesterday reversed the de- cision of the jury, on the ground that the i;{lnmfifl's design was not an invention. ammond will now take the case to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. ——————— “WmErzixe" in children is soon cured by the famous Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. | TMPORTING THE REAL DIPHTHERIA {THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH PREPARING TO MAKE ANTI- TOXINE.. TO BUY GOOD HORSES NEXT. THE Work WiLL BE COMMENCED AT ONCE AT THE NEw VET- ERINARY COLLEGE, California will have home-made anti- toxine in pretty short order now. The State Board of Health is already at work spend- ing the $6000 given it by the Legislature, and which must last two years. i The money is to be spent and the anti- toxine made by the new veterinary depart- ment of the State University, under the direction of the board, and the general plan of what is to be done isalready formulated. Dr. Winslow Anderson, vice-president and San Francisco member of the board, will naturally be most directly concerned in the management of the enterprise, and he told yesterday what was to be done. It requires some time to make anti- toxine, and the board has first ordered a supply of ready-made anti-toxine from the East, as a precaution for the benefit of the State. Several dozen vials will be here in a week or two, and will be divided among the members of the State Board of Health for distribution in their respective regions when the need arises. It will be given away, so that the life-saving remedy will cost the poorest nothing, unless the attend- ing physician adds a charge for giving it. The $6000 for two years is a very small fund, but most of the work will cost noth- ing, and this manufacture on a large scale is not necesary for California. The Legis- lature simply substituted the money for anti-toxine that was paid for a lawyer for the board and would not give any more. Dr. Anderson says that it will save thous- ands of lives in California in time. and in ten years it ought to stamp our the disease. California is the first State in the Union to take up the manufacture and giving away of the new diphtheria cure. In New York it is being done by the city, which ap- Hroprlated $30,000 for the Board of Health here. The first actual step in preparing for the work of making anti-toxine has been done, The board has under way from both Dr. Behring’s laboratory in Germany and Dr. Roux’s in Paris a supply of the pure toxine cultures. This stuff is not the remedy, but the pure diphtheria poison itself. It is both the Loffler’s bacilli, the canse of diphtheria, and the toxines or the poison they produce. These cultures have been tested there in guinea pigs and are war- ranted to produce first-class diphtheria and to be absolutely free from any other microbes. This poison is to be used in giving diphtheria, and nothing else, to the horses from whose blood the anti-toxine will be taken. The French and German cultures will be kept distinct for experiment. There will be a dozen little tubes full of diphtheria from each place and there will be enough to use on four horses. The next thing, according to Dr. Ander- son’s plans, will be to buy three or four healthy horses in the prime of young life, and the veterinary professors will be com. etent to pick out sound animals. Then here must be a place to keep them. That will be a model stable from a hygienic standpoint. Tt will probably. be in some convenient suburban place. " Dr. Bowhill, dean of the college faculty, will be the chief actual worker and superintendent of | processes. W hen the stable, horses and toxines are ready the horses will be inoculated with the poison in a weak or attenuated form. In the horse’s blood the natural process of nature recently discovered will begin at once. The horse’s blood will begin to de- velop the resistant property called anti- toxine. In ashort time a stronger injec- tion of poison will be given and the anti- toxine will develop more strength. The process will be repeated for three or four months, when the horse’s blood will resist any quantity of Loffler’s bacteria and their oisons. The horse will be “immune” and is blood will have developed its highest power of immunity. The dipktheria bacilli will be harmless in that fortified blood. A little of this blood will at once do the same work in the human system. 1t took six months to work a horse's blood up to this effective degree a few months ago. Now it is done in four months. A1l this time the horse will be _cared for 2s if he were another Ormonde In fact the care and support of the horses will be the most expensive thing in the whole process. ‘When the time comes Dr. Bowhill, watched and l:elgved with interest by a lot of doc- tors and professors, will draw between one and two quaris of blood from the horse's neck and take it to the laboratory of the college at Post and Fillmore streets. When the'blood coagulates the white serum will be drawn off, carefully protected from con- tamination by bacteria of all kinds. This fluid part of the blood will be the anti-toxine without further preparation except the putting of it in sterilized bottles and possibly adding a very little harmless pre- ventive fluid. It will be ready for in- jection into the human being. There will really be much to be carefully done, however. In the first place it will be tested on guinea pigs, Then for practical use it will be diluted or attenuated into | different strengths, measured by “units of immunity.” It will be examined and worked with more or less with powerful microscopes, and it will be put up in little sterilized vials. : ‘When the horse has given up a half gal- lon or so of his blood for humanity he will be weak, but with good board he will soon be all right, and if everything has worked well he will be sold for nearly as much as he cost. “I expect that we shall be ready to make the first inoculation in about four weeks,” said Dr. Anderson yesterday. *‘We propose to give away the anti-toxine that ‘h“?VP"O" est may have the benefit of it. e de- cided that a scientific veterinarian was the one to do this work. It also requires an expert bacteriologist, and Dr. Bowhill, the dean of the faculty, is such a man.” AUQOTION OF REAL ESTATE. Mission and Outside Properties Sold Under the Hammer. A satisfactory auction sale of city real estate was held yesterday by Shainwald, Buckbee & Co. As many as twelve pieces of property were sold as follows: Lot on the northeast corner of Twenty-sixth and York streets, 25x95 feet, $1020; lot on Twenty-sixth street, adjoining, 25x95, $750; six lots on Californfa avenue, 80x243’ feet t6 Precita avenue, $625 to $875 each; lot on the northwest corner of Dolores and Liberty streets, 27x105, ; cottage of four rooms at 204 Liberty street, and lot 25x114, $1500; two lots on Libfrty strect beetween Dolores and Guer- rero, each 25x114, $1600 and $1615; flats Nog,'111 and 111} Liberty street, containinj five and_six rooms and baths, lot 30x114, 25; lot 40x80 on Francisco street near with old improvements, $3000; biock by .Twenty-eighth, Duncan, Fowler and Stanford Hel{hm avenue, containing fifty-four lots, $18,600; block bounded by Thirtieth, Clarke, Twin Peaks and Lincoln streets, forty-six lots, $2200; block bounded by Thirty-third, Kent, Eun{m and Stanford Heights avenué, forty-six lots, $2700.

Patrick Murphy, a hard-looking character, ‘was arrested on Tuesday night by Policeman Harry Reynolds and booked at the City Prison yesterday for having burglars’ tools in his pos session. Reynolds found him hiding in the = brush opposite the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Hawley at Buena Vista avenue and Haight street. Burglars had made several attempts to break into the lady’s house, as detailed in Tuesday’s CALL, Jand Reynolds had been on the lookout for them. When Murphy was searched & “jimmy” and other burglars’ tools were found in his pockets. The police think he intended to break into Mrs. Hawley's house. NOW WITH HER FATHER. Elsie Ayers, Who Eloped From Peta- luma, Found by Detective Anthony. Elsie Ayers, the young girl who eloped from Petaluma with a man named Bow- man, was found in a lodging-house on Ellis street yesterday afternoon by Detec- tive Anthony and taken to her father at the American Exchange Hotel. The father | and daughter left last evening for Ventura, | where he has a livery business. The girl had been living with her grand- })arems, Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Gale, at Peta- uma. Bowman was a hanger-on with the Eunice Goodrich Theatrical Company, and | while in Petaluma he met the girl and in- duced her to elope with him. They came to_the city on Sunday and took rooms inan Ellis-street lodging-house. | He showed her a piece of paper, on which ‘ he had written that they were man and | wife, which, in her innocence, she accepted | as sufficient. On Monday he deserted her, leaving her penniless. She learned that he had some friends among the company at the Alcazar, and went there. She told her story, and they had made arrangements to send her home when Detective Anthony found her. —————— Another Opium Seizure. | The customs authorities made another seiz- ureof opium in Chinatown yesterday. Sur- | veyor English is not sure, however, whether he | can hold the stuff or not until after an expert | examinetion. Over 1200 tins were seized, but as they are all stamped, it looks on the surface as though they were all right. The stamps are mutilated and four years old,and therein lies the suspicious circumstance. THEY HONORED THEIR DEAD THE FUNERAL OF PIONEER HENRY | SCHRODER VERY LARGELY ATTENDED. THE SCHUETZEN VEREIN AND THE Opp FELLOWS FoLLOW THE RE- MAINS TO THE GRAVE. | Under a wreath of roses and violets and | lilies the casket containing the body of Henry Schroder, who died last Monday, | was- yesterday conveyed to its last resting | place in Odd Fellows' Cemetery. A hundred i carriages containing relatives and friends, ‘with several hundred Schuetzen Verein and | brother Odd Fellows, followed the remains | to the grave. The funeral services were held at Califor- | nia Hall, Rev. J. H. Buehler, rector of St. Paul’s Church, conducting the services. He paid a beautiful tribute to the worth of | the deceased as a citizen, his gentleness as a father and his love as a husband. He | said that Mr. Schroder had been identified | with innumerable public enterprises, and | his death would be keenly felt in many | directions. To Chopin’s “Marche Funebre,”” played | by Ritzer's Military band, the procession marched to the cemetery. First came the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein, of which ! association he wasa prominent member, followed by the Bremervoerde Verein, Odd Fellows and a line of carriages nearly a mile in length. The San Francisco Schuet- | zen Verein marched with arms reversed. The services at the grave were simple, consisting of a brief talk by Mr. Buehler, the ritualistic funeral honors of the Odd | Fellows and a_salute by the Gun Club. | The floral offerings were many and rich in design, that of the San Francisco Schuet- zen Verein being particularly beantiful. It was a target made of violets, pansiesand | roses, with two guns made of dark rich pansies crossed in the center. His old partner, Mr. Henken, made an appropriate | offering, representing a broken wheel. The | center was built of roses and violets, the | whole surrounded with a rim of pansies, | The pallbearers were D.Ohrtland, W. Moreken, Bremervoerde Verein; H. F. Mass, W. Wulzen, San Francisco Schuet- zen Verein; George Dehring, C.D. Evers | and Otto Bartholdy, I. 0. O, ¥, } WILL CALL AT GUL PORTS. SAN FRANCISCO STEAMERS TO; COMPETE FOR MEXICAN CAR- | RYING TRADE. To TAKE MERCHANDISE SOUTH AND RETURN WiITH ORE FOR | SELBY. | H. B. Underhill Jr. has just returned | from Mazatlan, Mexico, where he has been | negotiating with mine-owners for the ship- | ment of ore to the Selby smelting works at | Selby, near Port Costa. The Mexicans | have been sending their ore by vessel to | Germany and by water and rail to Colo- rado , and the arrangement that Mr. Un- | derhill has entered into on behalf of his | company will bring much of the gulf trade ‘ to San Francisco and other California points. Seeing the importance of this gulf trade the Pacific Coast Steamship Company has decided to put on extra steamers of light draught to call at the ports of Mazatlan, Altata, La Paz and Guaymas. These are important ports on the Gulf of California, ang are the principal outlets to the rich mines inland. The steamer Willamette Valley will leave San Francisco on its first trip on March 25. She will carry merchandise and passengers on the down trip and will return with ore for the Selby Company. The deep-draught vessels are unable to touch at Altata owing to a bar there. Altata is the seaport to Culiacan, with which it has railroad comnections, in the State of Sinaloa. The mineral output of the State is large, and it is the purpose of San Francisco parties to direct as much of it as Eossible this way. “There is no question,” said Mr. Under- hill, “but that a very large trade can be worked up between San Francisco and the Mexican States bordering on the gulf, and Goodall, Perkins & Co. have taken hold of the matter with avidity. The company has made all its arrangements with the Mexican Government to call at the gulf ports, and we hope for good results from a commercial intercourse with these States. The territory is rich in silver. The mines at San Dimas, Otopia and elsewhere are very productive. ~Our merchants and shippers should give the gulf country some thought.” e T COUNTERFEITER DEAN IN COURT, He Transfers All His Ready Money to His Wife. Dean, the counterfeiter, was in court yes- terday. His handsome little wife was also in attendance. She being out on bail was present as a witness, while her husband was in charge of a United States Deputy Marshal. It was not altogether pure love and affec- tion that drew Mrs. Dean to the United States District Court. She wanted the sinews of war to strengthen the hands of Attorney A. P. Van Duzer, who is defend- ing both herself and husband. The cash assets of the couple is in the Bank of Cali- fornia in Dean’s name, and after the hear- ing of his case had been continued until April 1, he went into the office of United States Secret Service Agentof the Treasury Harris and there le out acheck in favor of his wife for the entire amount. It was not a very large sum, still it is enough to tkfle:r Mrs, Dean from want until after her NEW TO-DAY.
