HER -SPEED TWENTY ' MILES: ONE MAN CAN OPERATE IT AND LEAVE THE FRENCH AIR SHIP iN His WaxkEe. Charles F. Martin, who is employed. in the claims department of the Southern Pa- cific ‘Company and lives at 223 Mission street, received word Saturday last that the Patent Office had granted him a patent on a flying ‘machine on which he has been working for about two years. The machine will_consist of two.main parts, a hollow cylinder to be inflated with hydrogen gas; and a deck which will hang with the relatives of the departing fishermen and many affecting scenes took place between the fishermen and their families left behind. The Harvester took & union crew after an in- effectual attempt to get cheaper men. - . AN EXOITING. RUNAWAY. Theatrical Properties and Plate Glass in the Wreck. There was a runaway on Stockton street shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon that wrecked $200 worth of theatrical properties,-a $300 plate-glass window and came very near kil?ing two men. Five dropsand eight set pieces twenty- eight feet long were on an express wagon coming down Stockton street to the Wig- | wam stage entrance. It was the scenery for the “*Sea Queen’ and was to have been un- loaded at the stage door, but in the tilting forward and backward one of ‘the iong |'drops struck one -of - the. horses on the | head. - The horse broke into a run, his | mate following, and instead of stopping at |-the Wigwam the ‘‘Sea Queen'’ in gauze | ‘and tinsel went on down the street at a | headlong pace. | ~Fortunately there was no car in the way when O'Farrell street was reached and-the crossing was passed safely, while - the pace grew faster and the long drops tipped harder.and harder against the heads of the crazed “team. The grade became more even on: the next ‘block ‘and the:team swerved one side and dashed straight toward J. F. Plumel’s Hlacc at 18 -Stockton street.” Two men stood.on the sidewalk. ‘A corner of one of the drops_ knocked: .one man’s - hat off. and . grazed the .other’s shoulder,” Then there was a crash-of glass Charles F. Martin and His Flying Machine. [Sketched by a ““Call™ artist.] suspended from the cylinder, and in which will be placed the propelling machinery and steering apparatus. The hydrogen cylinder, which will sus- tain the weight of the remainder of the machine-will be 200 feet long, 18 feetin diameter and pointed at both ends, with three valves, one at the top to release hy- drogen and two at the bottom to pump hy- drogen into.the cylinder. The deck will be fifty feet long and six feet deep, and will be suspended by an invisi- ble framework which will extend upward inside the cylinder its full length and half its depth. It will have gently. sloping ends and sidés to reduce friction. bottom of the deck will be bamboo, clad with aluminum. ‘plates.: Its sides will: be of the same material as the cylinder and fastened on the under edges of the deck. The cylinder will consist of two.parts, an “inner envelope ‘of ‘the finést grade of pon- gee silk, with two coats of asecret receipt: composition . -varnish, and -an: outeren- velope of canvas covered with a special prepared ‘wax. At the rear extremity of the cylinder will be placed the rudder, which.will be: worked by two ropes, one on-.each side, the:same as on a ship. It will be 11 féet- long and 11 feet broad, with rounded rear-corners, and will be constructed. of aluminum covered with silk. The propelling “power- will be ‘ascrew 8 feet in diameter, with' six blades-and .an outer. rim of aluminum. It .will have a “pitch” of 14 feet—that is, it will make one revolution while “the.machine-moves for- ward 14. feet. The shaft. on which: the screw will' revolve will be ‘of -steel and hollow. The lifting power: of - hydrogen: is 75 pounds - to each 1000.: feet, but -this' ma= chine's carrying power .is figured -on-a basis of 65 pounds; to provide for ‘discrep- ancies in calculation. “All things taken into consideration, the machine will weigh 2500 pounds and :it is credited with a caz- rying capacity of 2900 pounds. One man.can handle th chine, but as there is about 250- pounds of carrying capacity to be utilized, baliast will' be used and, when operated.in strat- egy, can be thrown overboard to-increase speed in rising out of harm’s way. . The. Martin machine is designed: for speed primarily. and was patterned after tge Whitehead fish torpedo. It will make twenty miles an hour. ~Unlike flying ma- chines in use now there will be no Topes or net work on the outside of the cylinder; part which comesin contact with phere in its progress will present & smooth surface. Charles Juli, ap Alsatian, who stole from the French War Department the model of their war balloon, attempted to sell the model to this Government, but failed, and hearing of Martin’s machine, came here and introduced himself to Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin is thankful now that he did Martin' ma- not go inlo‘}mnnership with Juli, as such | action would have jeopardized his chances of accomplishing his great ambition—the acceptance by this Government of his balloon as the model for a war balloon. The French war ballon makes but thirteen miles an hour. ive power will be neither steam nor - electricity, although either could be used, but will be something new, and will not be disclosed till the machinery for its use is made and patented. Mr. Martin has concluded arrangements for the expenditure of $10,000 in building his machine, and will rent a building in Alameda County probably in which to do the work. “A QOYOLE OF OATHAY." Five Chinese Students From San Jose Visit This City Yesterday. Five students from the Chinese Meth- odist Mission in-San Jose came up from the Garden City on their bicycles yester- day. They were: Lee Fong, captain of the squad; Wong Gong, Chow_Gong, Ung Fong and Chan Foo Kwa. Messrs. Lee th and Wong Gong re dressed in bi¥sers and sweaters—in- fact, in full wheel suits; but the other three were in ulation ~ Chinese dress—blouse, wide trousers and queue. % Alftough the young men were good riders, they made a sensation as they ed through the streets. In-China- town, which they visited, the San‘:Jose wheelmen about paralyzed their country- men into chattering imbecility by the unusual spectacle the( ])re&ente(f{ Coming np they lost -their way, and were over three hours on the road. The Chinese cyclists crossed the.bay andre- iturned home by the eastern route. —————— Departure of Salmon Fishers. The bark Harvester sailed yesterday for the Karluk canneries with & largé -company ‘of salmon fishers on board, and the scene on Mis- sion-street wharf reminded she old resident of the early days when the gu!engcr—urry]ng clipper sailed away. The The | | and with the front of the shattered proper- ties sticking into Mr. Plumel’s window the team stood trembling on the side- walk. * The wrecked shell of the “Sea Queen” and the painted gauze and tinsel were picked up and taken back to the Wigwam, where men worked all night to Tepair the | damages. Mr. Plumel is wondering who is to pay for his window I THE SLUHGH_CI_TTARUUSED. STOCKTON PEOPLE ARE ALL EN-‘ | THUSIASTIC OVER THE NEW ROAD. ;VVILL Now Go AHEAD AND BulLp | THE BALDWIN ISLAND CANAL: Stockton people in town bring down: re- ports of the great enthusiasm arousedin | that city over the decision of. the directors jof -the mew ‘road. to: begin ‘work there, They tell- of the’ disappearance of ail’the feeling of disconragemerit over hard times |-and the rousing up:of the silurians: J.. Gambetta, “a ‘prominent real éstate dealer of Stockton, who. is staying ‘at the | Lick House, said last evening: We are all feeling as if we were newly born: The decision-of the directors has: given. new | life to.everything up there. I expect to seé the | own increase verygreatly in population in the near future. - The feeling of enthusiasm among all ciasses is very strong and everything is brightening up.. The people feel enconraged and have forgotten all about the hard times. You. can hear no more “complaints on" that score. There is not-a soul in the whole city: of Stockton that does not feel ‘as if there was something in store for him. Of course ours has for a long time. been 8 live, active town. But you have nothing to complain of here. I was astonished at the change in this city since 1 was here -last. - Probably I notice it more than one who is here'all the'time. | “You-should see how eur old silurians have been wake up. ~Men who have never: been | known to take any interest in the public good are now among the most enthusiastic. But we are not going to be satisfied with the competing road. - We need a ship canal from Baldwin Island to Stockton, and now we are going to have it. It would shorten tne dis- tance for the steamers to San Francisco about five miles, and save three or four hours ‘e, and.this’ will make & great difference in bringing. perishablé products down to the market. The cost will be only about $400,000, and with the public spirit aroused by this com- peting railroad we. will have no trouble in raising that. Itwas to enable the city of Stock- | ton to carry out this enterprise that the bill which: passed the Legislature to authorize cities to expend money outside their corporate limits for drainage was introduced. James A. Morrisey, president of the Stockton Board of Trade-and one of the subscribers to the stock-of the new road, is stopping at the Baldwin, where he. has been ill with the grip. He was very much elated at the news that- the new road weuld make a beginning at his city.” He id yesterda; We have subscribed £100,000, as you know, and, if necessal could raise another $100,- 000, I have no doubt, for the purchase of land for depot, switches and other facilities. We can give the road rights of way down to the water front without any trouble. The city owns hali a mile of water front, | which it hasno power to sell. This brings us in now a revenue of over 60,000 a year. We are all very anxious to have & competing road. Of course, we are not fighting the Southern Pacific_Company, nor are they fighting us, now. We are on friendly terms and have been for the past six years. Previous to that we had been fighting a good deal, but W. H. Mills brought about & more amicable feeling at that time, and we have as many privileges from them as we could expect. INTEREST IN BIGGY'S OHARGES. Much Speculation as to the Grand Jury’s Action. Much interest is manifested in the re- | assembling of the Sacramento Grand Jury | to-day and many conjectures are indulged in as to its probable action relative to the | charges by Senator Biggy of corruption in | the recent Legislature. During the week which has elapsed since the temporary adjournment of the Grand Jury several of its members, including Foreman La Rue, have spent considerable | time ‘in this city investigating, so it is | said, in a quiet way the Senator’s charges. | The report is current that a number of | men said to be familiar with the methods | of legislative. manipulation have been in- | terviewed . by the Grand Jurymen, and a | sensation is expected soon after that body meets. . 3 : “Around the hotéls last night it was said |‘that “Young-Dutchy’’ had remarked in the | barroom of the Grand Hotel thathe had | “been -before the foreman of the Sacra- {mento_Grand Jury and had told what he knew:”’ The individual credited with the remark denies it, however. 2 5 % | . Senator Biggy when séen at his residence | last evening could not add anything in the | line of positive information. He said: I'fully expectea that the matter wonld have been taken up immediately upon the adjourn- | ment of the Legislature. It was not, however, {sofar as I know, and now I do not know | whether it _is to be investigated at all or not. ;SO faras 1 am personally concerned I have made the charges and 1 am ready to_go before any Grand Jury at any time and substantiate | them. I have not yet n called upon by the | Grand Jury nor have I received any intimation lock wai crowded ‘ that I will'be summoned.. . H Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov't Report ReYal oz THE ATTEHPTED GRAB EXPLAINED. CLARKE SAYS HE CAN' PROVE THE GOVERNMENT PATENTS FRADULENT. SIXTY-EIGHT ~APPLICATIONS. MANY SPECULATORS VERY:ANXIOUS T0 RELINQUISH THEIR HOPE oF WEALTH. Nearly “everybody: has heard of Colonel Mulberry Sellers, the man- who saw mil- lions in every venture he made. This affable, bappy-go-lucky fellow finds a pleasing - reproduction in' the person:of *‘Nobby’’ Clarke, famous. in.-more ways than one. The CaLx of yesterday contained an ac- count of a great land ‘‘grab’ that:is being attempted by various' persons presumably at the instigation of Mr. Clarke. Whether these persons who are. seeking to gain pos- session of valuable properties in South San Francisco and .in‘ certain ‘sections of San Mateo County are prompted by Mr. Clarke or are acting for themselves cutsvery little figure, since Mr. Clarke ‘is the attorney for them all, and is to receive three-fourths of what might be gained. In addition to this gold-lined contract, it is stated, and Mr. Clarke aid not deny the charge yesterday, that each applicant for a homestead agrees to pay Mr. Clarke the apparently small sum of 10 cents an acre a month until the claim is allowed. Ex- actly sixty-eight people have filed applica- tions for homesteads in the Land Office, though quite a number of them have made two, and in several instances three separ- ate applications. It is easily seen what a “soft thing”” Mr. Clarke has, if, as alleged, clients pay 10 centsan acre each month. ng every applicant the full allotment 30 acres, and not counting those who have made more than one application, Mr. Clarke would be the recipient monthly of the almost princelv sum of §1188. This, of ordinarily to discuss a client’s business, and if any one of them has been talking for the benefit of the public, that is their affair and not mine. : “I do not object to saying, however, that I feel perfectly confident of winning, for all my clients, a valuable home. About four years ago I bought a piece of property in South San Francisco that has since been in litigation. The peculiarities of this case compelled me to go into all the old records to get at the bottom of it. In looking up this case of mine, I came across a lot of irregularities in former grants. found that before the question of the Puebla’s war difficulty was settled, the Federal Government ~had issued three patents—one to Francis Read for. sixty acres, another to the Hollingsworth heirs for fifty-seven acres, and to Patrick Rogers 152 acres more or less. Under the Mexican law a puebla or town was entitled to four leagues square, and it was before these questions were settled by our Government that the patents were issuéd. The law is very clear on that point. It forbids the issuing of a patent on any land under dispute. San Francisco claims a grant for four leagues square, which is quite different from four square leagues. Tam right about it and will win outin the end. “‘Now the State of California has issued four ‘patents which are illegd®. age 600 of the Statutes of 1863, is a law which says that a patent cannot be granted to a person unless the applicant tiles an oath of “allegiance to the State of California. I have eXamined the records carefully and these oaths are not on file, nor have they ever been filed. “I.will not describe the property we ex- pect to get, though yon may say it is valu- able. -1 do not admit that any Spring Valley Water Company property is in- volved, neither will i’deny it.” The following are the names and ad- dresses of the persons who have filed ap- lications for homestead.

ORIGINAL GRANTS. [Clark’s present suit is for land located in the space marked *‘Pueblo Lands of San Fran- cisco.” Nearly all of the sizty-eight applications filed at the Land Office call for lands in the Pueblo of San Francisco, public lands of San Mateo County and the Buri Buri, San Pedro r The place marked “Barzick” is three miles from the coast. All of this land was patented from 1861 to 1871.] ? course, is in additiou to the ironbound agreement containing the dreadful three- quarter clause. = The legal aspect of the case, so far as the Federal Government in its relation to Mr. Clarke is concerned, is very simple. He has done nothini‘that would place him in conflict with the law, for he has an unques- tioned right to act as attorney for any one who might apply to him. Mr. Clarke has, however, done this: He has made every one of his clients violate the law in signing an agreement to “pay him in gold coin of the United States, gg:per cent of ‘the same, which is the value of the land gained.” Many of these applitants for%xomestuds are considerably wrought up over their un- fortunate legal difficulty and are making every effort in their power to right them- selves. One hu:iy, ‘who refuses to allow her. name published, has been to the office of Mr. Clarke several times to secure the pa- pers Clarke. gave her to sign. Just what was in that paper she says she does not know, though she affirms positively that, the words “75 per cent” were read to her; The attorney at first made excuses for not iving up the paper, and finally flatly re- sed to with it, on the ground ‘th: the lady desired fo take it to ‘he offics o Land it Dunn.

PLOUF SHOWED SOME. SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT YES- TERDAY. MCGAUGHEY MAKES DENIALS. HEe PROMISES ASTONISHING DE- VELOPMENTS WHEN His TRIAL CoMEs OFF. The shooting of Dr. J. E. Plouf in front of the Columbian building, 916 Market street, on Saturday afternoon by J. D. L. McGaughey, formed a live topic of conver- sation yesterday. 5 Dr. Plouf lingers ‘between life and death in the Waldeck Sanitarium with the chances very much in favor of the latter, Everything that medical skill coula devise has been done for him by the physicians in attendance. The most dangerous wound is the one in his abdomen, and unless something almost miraculous happens it will prove fatal. No. one is permitted to see him. McGaughey when seen yesterday waa anxious to hear whether his victim was dead or alive. He expressed himself as satisfied that he would never be convicted as he acted in self-defense. “I did not know Dr. Plouf personally in Seattle,”” said he, “but from my posi- tion as Deputy County Clerk I know con- siderable of him. He was arrested for malpractice, and as clerk of the court I had the filing of the_;‘»aper! in the suit. Plouf assaulted the wife of Thomas Dempsey of the Evening Times, and Dempsey and Thomas Kehough, hisbrother-in-law, gave him a terrible beating and two ladies horse- whipped him. That led to a libel suit by the doctor against Dempsey. I also filed papers in that suit. Dempsey charged the doctor with enticing young girls into his private office. “Plouf, I suppose, knew that I was the clerk of the court and that I was conse- quently possessed of these facts. I left Seattle before Plouf and came here, but shortly afterward I went up north to ad- minister an estate and then returned to Seattle. By that time Plouf had gone to San Francisco. ‘I came here again last June and bought an interest in Plouf's business. 1 was there three months, and when I found out the man’s character I retired from the business, but haye never yet got the money back that I put into it. I was not an em- ploye of the doctor, as has been erroneously stated. “‘After I retired C. 8. Johnson -put $1000 into Plouf’s business, but like me he soon retired. As he could not get his money back he sued the doctor and I wasa wit- ness in the case. Since that time Plouf has been persistently persecuting me and trying to drive me out of the city. ““He blamed me for having him arrested a few months._ ago for practicing without a license, but I had nothing .to do with it. The action was brought by Dr. Wadsworth, secretary of the State Board of Medical Examiners. “The charge ?referred against me and Wilson by Plout of attempting, by verbal threats, to extort money from the hus- bands of lady. correspondents is utterly false. -I never went through his waste- paper basket and fzasced pieces of " letters together, nor did I ever open his private letters. It is part. of his drive me out of the eity. “When my trial comes off, if it should go that far, there will be developments that will astonish people. T decline to:say. persecution to what-they are -at present, but will reserve |° that for the trial. “I-am a married man. My wife is a daughter of the United States' Commis- sioner in Seattle. She left here two weeks ago for: Seattle, as her mother was very sick. Itis not true that I wasan.embez- zler while Deputy ‘County Clerk there. That was proved to be a mistake.” Inquiry last night at’the -institution where Dr. Plouf lingers revealed that dur- ing the day the: patient rallied consider- ably “and ‘that there were even favorable symptoms, - *“Of course,” said’ Dr. Rosencrantz, who was in: charge, “the case is a- very, very. delicate one and it is difficult to tell from one hour to another what may happen. Dr. Plouf has a strong constitution ang he may pull through. -Then. again’ he might collapse at any time and -if the latter oc- curred all that we could 1ook for would be the worst. It is a hopeful sign, though, ghut ’the rally has continued so long as it AT THE PARK. Striking Costumes of the Bicycle Riders. Arrested for Fast Riding—Bril- liant Equipages. So great were the crowds that at firstd glance it would appear that San Francisco emptied itself into Golden Gate Park and on the ocean beach yesterday afternoon. The air was warm, calm and serene; na- . ture was most inviting. There was an un- usually large number of handsome equi- pages on the driveways, and the display generally was brilliant and gorgeous. The wheelmen and wheelwomen were out in full force. The costumes of the lat- ter were as pretty in some instancesas they were ridiculous in others. ‘There were young ladies in full, blowing skirts, divided skirts, short skirts and some without skirts at all. A few attempted bloomers, and one young lady, wearing Jjersey tights, a white sweater and a natty little cap of the same material, sped along on her wheel, hotly pursued by a dozen young men similarly vehicled. To make ‘the effect of her cos- tume more picturesque her hair, which was golden, hung gracefully down her back. The mounted police took to the wc’i‘ods. 5 [wo men were arrested yesterday for ridnginnously through they ark. %‘hey were D. Cooney, living at vmp Oak street, and E. McSweeney of 2 Sanchez street. Cooney said he was: an extra fireman and exhibited a badge. He thought that by reason of his position as a fireman he and his companion were entitled to the right of way. The police held a different opin- ion, however, and the horsemen were taken to the police station, where they were re- leased on $40 cash bail. A charge of fast driving has been placed against them. - ————— Trilby P. 0.

THE STATE DAIRY BUREAU WILL 'START ON THE WARPATH IN MAY. THE Law REGULATING THE SALE AND CONTROL OF THE IMITA- TION PRODUCT. . | The State Dairy Burean, consisting of L. Tomasini (chairman), Thomas Flint Sr. and George W. Burbank, has issued a cir- cular letter asking the co-operation of the public in ‘the contest against dealers in bogus dairy products. The members of the bureau are practical dairymen, as the act authorizing their appointment requires, and do their work without compensation. Concerning the enforcement of the act to prevent deception in the manufacture of butter and cheese the circular reads as fol- lows: State Dairy Bureau hereby notifies_ the public that on and after May 1, A. D. 1893, it will proceed to the rigorous enforcement of the law enacted on the 9th of March, 1895, for the prevention of deception in the manufacture and sale of butter and of cheese. Lo The following are the principal features of the aw : 5 The coloring yellow of oleomargarine or other imitation ‘product is absolutely prohib- ited. And the possession of, sale of, or offering o a patron for consumption of such imitation product when colored yellow isa misdemeanor, The use of the words ‘“butterine,” ‘‘dairy,” “creamery,” or of dairy symbols jn connection with the sale or advertisement of the imitation product is lb»olnlel{ hibited. In the handling of the imitation product, the manufacturers, shippers, carriers, wholesalers and retailers, edd&rs, bakers, hotel, restau- Tant and boarding-housekeepers must comply with certain regulations as to the labeling of the packages, the specification by printed state- ment of the contents and the proper notifica- tion of the purchaser, consumer or patron.
