A real estate agent sent word to the board that he had a customer who wishes to lease for ten years a small part of the institute’s lot on Sixteenth and Folsom streets, but the offer was declined. This | brought out the fact that the Street Super- intendent had given mnotice that the property-holders on Sixteenth street must construct a plank sidewalk. Secretary Culver was instructed to enter a protest, which will delay the work for six months or more. Oscar Lewis was selected as the corre-| sponding secretary of the institute. I The names of over one hundred mem- bers were dropped from the roll for bein over a vear delinquent in the payment o their dues. —_————————— An Architect’s Brainwork. In Judge Hunt's court the case of Laver against Hotaling dragged through the day. This is the case where Architect Laver demands $8250 for having prepared plans for A.P. Hotaling for a building to be erected at Hayes, Larkin and Market streets. The chief point of | interest in the case is whether the plans and | specifications belong to the architect or to his | employer. The plaintiff in the case contends that these no more belong to the employer than the hammers and other tools of the stone- | , or the briefs and trial statements of | vs belong to their respective clients. contention is combated by the de- nt. Judge Hunt esked from“the bench terday:- “Do you mean,” he_asked the at- orney for the plaintiff, “that Mr. Hotaling is be required wKey $9250 for plans and speci- cations which he not only cannot have, but | h you contend he may not even see?”’ | cotrt has paused for a reply. e The W. T, Coleman Estate. The first and final account in the estate of he late William T. Coleman was filed yester- | dey by the Union Trust Company, exeeutor of the estate. The total valuation of the estate was $449,858 25, of which about $47,500 has been used in matiters of expenses in its man- agement and for family allowance, leaving property of the net value of $40233942, which the executor corporation now asks leave to distribute among the heirs and legatees. s e b fraing Mary Sheehan Missing, The police were notified yesterday of the djs- appearance of Mary Sheehan. She is 13 years of age, dark complexioned, medium build, dark hair, which curls to the shoulders, and wore a blue dress, navy blue cape and brown hat. She is a daughtéer of Timothy Sheehan of Vallejo, and left home last Sunday afternoon at 4 o’'clock to visit relatives in this city.

BOHEMIAN STUDIO LUNCHES, The Daintily Decorated Working Place of an Energetic Artist. Among the pictures sent to the Spring Exhibition there are several clever pieces of work by F. M. Vermorcken, and his “The Young and the Old Sailor” is espe- cially noticeable. The idea of the picture is that fhe old man, retired from the sea, has given over his vessel to the young sailor. The latter, however, is anxious for the daughter as well as the ship, and from the expression on the woman’s face she shares the young man’s hopes.

Both men had numerous drugs in their possession, and the belief of the police is that some other crime has been com- mitted.

Osborne, has sued the Home Insurance Company for $5000. Her husband died on January 21, 1895, and had, according to the allegations of the complaint, fulfilled all the requirements of his policy in that com- pany. The company resists payment on theiground that one premium was not paid. W. 8. Goodfellow, James 8. Angus, Lonis | C. Bresse and T. G. Crothers, special ad- ministrators of the estate of James G. Fair, deceased, have sued Tuck Gin for $98 rent for the upper part of the building at 213 Commercial street and possession of the premises. Veronica €. Baird and Ebenezer Scott, trustees, and B. H. Baird have sued Marie THE OLD AND THE YOUNG SAILORS. [Reproduced by a “Call” artist.] Vermorcken's best pieces of work, although some of the portraits he is sending in show strong technical mastery. The portrait of the girl reading a letter is full of warm lights and generally receives compliment- ary comment. Mr. Vermocken came to San Francisco not many mon ths ago, having been urged todoso bv several well-known people in society here. He has fitted up a studio small receptions and a few jolly Bohemian lunches. The custom among the Eastern artists in this country, and in most Euro- pean countries, of giving informal rece, tions, finds a strong advocate in Ve mocken, who believes in as. much inte: change of criticism and art chat as is po: sible among artists. It is often the case that artists with dainty tastes in decoration spend more time in the arrangement of their studios than they do in actual work, but this can- not be said of Vermocken, who has arecord of sixty portaits painted in'two seasons in Philadelphia. Among some well-known portraits that Vermocken has painted are those of Mr. Clement Griscon, president of the Interna- tional Navigation Company of Philadel- hia; S8ydney Logan, the poet; General arnes and Mrs. Barnes of New York, Mre. E. N. Turner of New York, Mr. Bod- man Wister and Mrs. Wister, Miss Bessie Carpenter, Miss Mita Biddle, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Fox of New York, and many others. THE FEMALE IMPERSONATOR. Ferdinand Haisch Makes a Sensation in Court. Ferdinand Haisch, a carpenter, of 407 MecAllister street, who was arrested on Monday night while masquerading in female attire, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday morning in all his tawdry finery. He seemed to enjoy the sensation caused by the ludicrous figure he pre- sented. The case was continued till to- morrow, and Haisch was taken back to the prison. Haisch is an inventor and has secured r, he de- clares have nct been remunerative. He has been known to parade the streets at night for several vears back, and yesterday spoke with glee of being able to deceive his most intimate friends while riding on the cable-cars beside them on different occa- sions. He has an extensive wardrobe of female attire and is nimble with a needle, being able, with the help of a wire frame, to make all his dresses. The police are puzzled to know what to do with him. s e STRAW BONDSMEN. E. M. Galvin Arrested on Four Charges of Perjury. E. M. Galvin, a contractor, was indicted by the Grand Jury on August 31 last on four charges of perjury. He decamped, and was traced to Sacramento and later to Los Angeles, but could not be found. Yesterday he was seen around the City Hall by Officer Green and Detective Handley. He was taken to police head- uarters, where he said his name was v_nrr_v Cole, and that he lived at Ocean lew. The officers were not to be humbugged, so they took him to the City Pflson,nm{ four charges of perjury were booked against nim. Galvin was one of the numerous straw bondsmen who haunted the Police Courts. The four charges are based on four bonds on which he was one of the sureties. He swore that he owned the lot and house on the cause was submitted to the jury yesterday. —e——— They strolled along the broad parade John Jones and pretty Miss Maria “Your teeth ane awful, John,” she said; “Why don’t you buy the beautifer?

AL HGHTS LEKUE It Gives an Instructive Enter- tainment in St. George’s Hall. Mrs. Fairweather Taiks of the Progress of the American Woman. The Equal Rights League of which Mrs. Emma Gregory is president held on open meeting in the hall of St. Ge6rge’s Club at 317 Mason street last night. Among those who assembled to listen to the entertainment were Mrs. Nellie Hol- brook Blinn, president of the State League, Mrs. Annie Smith, Mrs. Andrews, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Johnson, Mrs. Mary Bailey. Mrs. E. Anderson, Mrs. Ellen Moore, Mrs. Robie, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Plunkett, Captain Merriman, Captain Johnson, Mrs. L. 8. Anderson, Mrs. Fairweather and Miss Helen Anderson beside a number of ladies and gentlemen who wanted to hear what was to be said. Mrs. Gregory ina brief address called at- tention to the fact that in future every other Tuesday the league will have anopen meeting at which objects of interest to those in favor of equal rights would be {J»resented. Shedeplored the fact that the ill to grant women the right of suffrage had not become a law, but this should encourage them to work bard during the next two years. Francis L. Mathieu gave a vocal solo, Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn, in a ’Flenin;g manner, recited “‘The Woman of To-day,” Mrs. L. 8. Andagson, alady with a splen- did_soprano voice, sang ‘“When the Heart Is Young'’ and was loudly applauded. Mrs. Dr. Mary Sheph: nger was to have delives an address on ‘oman,’’ but she was unable to appear and her num- ber on the programme was supplied by Mrs. Fairweather, who delivere a» pleas- ing and entertaining address “‘The American Woman.” The line of argnment was that woman can secure her rights only through the American woman. She’ re- viewed the history of the human race and the dprogreua it had made, but bad always held woman in the background until the American woman commenced to tear down the barrier of prejudice and the political barrier thn‘ barred her wa{ cn her progres- sive march? She declared thatit wasa myth that woman does not want advancement, She does want it, and will get it. In con- clusion she said negroes could not vote, In- dians could not, idiots could not, women could not. We freed the negro, and they vote; we educated the Indians, and they vote. Mrs. Nellie Holbrook-Blinn can tes- tify that some idiots voted in the last Leg- islature, and women—well, they are here yet. FINDING A NEW HEIR, Story of a Beautiful Woman and a Scheming Ad- venturess. SHE CLAIMED NOBLE BIRTH. History of a Once Prominent San Francisco Woman Revealed. The story of an unscrupulious woman— bright, fascinating and intelligent to an extraordinary degree—and a weak, crafty, selfish man, reputed to be public-spirited and charitable—a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sort of fellow—will be found in a suit bear- ing the title of “E. A. MacMahon’vs. B.G. Chandos et al.,” filed in the Superior Court yesterday afternoon. The hearing of the suit will bring to the surface again a few things already told and an explanation of a great many points that have been shrouded in mystery since hand- some Mrs. Greville came to San Francisco in 1868, from nobody could learn just where, wooed and won John Bensley and settled down to the enjoyments of married life, backed by a respectable bank account. The property involyed by the action brought byeMacMahon through his at- torney, George C. Perry, lies in ‘the Potrero, the principal part of which is known as the Ludlum. This property has been in litigation for the past twenty years, though had it not been for MacMahon’s appearance on the scene the present owners would doubtless remained in practically und isturbed poses- sion. The death of John Bensley at Centralia, Wis., in 1889, followed by that of his wife, Marian L. Bensley.in December of the same year at Las Vegas, N. Mex., is still fresh in the mind of the public, mainly on account of the litigation for the possession of the valuable estate and which only ended in 1893. In order thata clearer understand- ing of the present suit may be had it is necessary to go over a little of the earlier history of Mr. and Mrs. John Bensley. When the fascinating Mrs. Greville came to 8an Francisco, her pleasant manner and elegant presence soon gained her an entre in the fashionable Four Hundred. Bens- ley was just the type of a man to be at- tracted by this self-styled descendant of nobility and claimant to untold wealth, and ere many weeks had passed the widow had the refusal of his hand and fortune. He proposed, and she accepted on condi- tion that he journey to Engiand and marry her under the ancestral roof. ‘When Bensley arrived in London he was astonished to find his future wife quartered in a boarding-house far removed from the mansions of the nobility. She ex- plained this state of affairs by saying that her family objected to her mar- riage with an American, and then throwing herself into the anxious arms of the wouf given up home and friends to be his alone. The couple were accordingly martied, and, after a brief tour of England, returned to America, spending a few days with the groom’s relatives in New York. This visit seemed to have opened the eyes of Bensley as to the true character of Iiis wife, and his people also formed a very unfavorable impression of her. One of them, in a letter written in 1890, says: We soon set her down asan unprincipled, erafty, vile adventuress and an unmitigated impostor. John seemed grief-stricken, but he was too proud to acknowledge his error, or to expose her and seeure a separation. Her siren tongue had completely beguiled him. All the Eropeny she ever had she obtained from John ensley by fraud, deceit and false pretenses, Before many months had rolled by a Mrs. John Bensley. [Drawn from a photograph.) man calling himself B. G. Chandos ap- peared at Centralia, Wis., where Bensley had large interests, representing that he had just come from California. In a sh: while Chandos held a responsible position with Bensley, it being generally under- stood that he owed his good fortune to the wife. Mrs. Bensley soon became the vir- tual owner of all her husband’s property, making several transfers to Chandos. On tEe death of Bensley, his widow in order to avoid payment of certain debts contracted by the husband and herself, and then very pressing,made several deeds to Mrs. Marian L. de Tarente of St. Louis. The husband of Mrs. de Tarente also figures in several deeds and transfers though neither of these persons was ever seen in the flesh. On the death of Mrs. Bensley, the rela- tions of her husband received a shock when Chandos asked for letters of adminis- tration on the estate in behalf of himself and three sisters, claiming that the dead womian was their sister, and further, that they were the or;lj living heirs. Years of litigation followed, ending in 1893 by the claimants securing possession of the bulk of the property. £ A Thisg)rief recapitulation brings the stors of Bensley's fortune.down to the suit file yesterday. Asamatter of fact the brief now on file will contain but little of what will be actually brought out when the trial takes place. For the first time the startling announcement is made that Mrs. Bensley had a son as the result of a marriage contracted in England. This son is no other than Edward A. Macmahon, who was brought to San Francisco by Mrs. Bensley when a little boy and intro- duced as her nephew. He was sent to Dr, Spaulding’s school, also to San Mateo and Berkeley. It will be shown that Chandos knew tilt Macmahon was the rightful heir, and further that he had three sisters living besides the ones who became a party to the suit of Chandos for Mrs. Bensley’s estate, and that he swore falsely when he affirmed that they w‘ge the only living heirs. The new claim- ant also hopes to show that James de Farente is no other than B. G. Chandos and that Mrs. Marian L. de Farente was %o le:a a personage than the deceased Mrs. ensley. - It lnyfllil can be proven the situation will become very interesting for Mr. Chan- d-be groom, declared that shehad | dos, who, as Lawyer Tripp says, will visit this portion of the State only under com- pulsion. To gather all of this evidence, the attor- neys for the new claimant have been com- pelled to travel thousands of miles and re- sort to the subtle artifices peculiar to the legal fraternity. This portion of the work has been done by Mr. C. C. Tripp. He has devoted the last four months to the unraveling of what he is pleased to term a ‘“‘profound mys- tery,’” and that he has done his work well is evidenced by the formidable array of sworn affidavits, depositions and similar matter. In speaking of the case yesterday, Mr. Tripp said: _“I' have devoted the last four months to righting a great wrong, and I could tell you enough to fill a good-sized book. It is unnecessary to go into.detail concerning my travels, it sufficing to say that I have been to Chicago, New York, Kansas Cits and many other points, and succeede: in collecting evidence that proves beyond question that E. A. Macmahon is the son of Mrs. Bensley and rightful owner to the property now held by Chandos and his sisters. ~ Not a little mystery has surround- ed Mrs. Bensley, but I have succeeded in clearing that all up. @ ‘Mrs. Bensley was born in Virginia and was a daughter of John and Mary Ingles, her name being Mary Ingles, and was one of eight children. She was a wayward girl, and used to travel a great deal on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. She has been married three times, the first occurring in 1860 in Iowa. ‘At the end of ten days she mysteriously disappeared and it was given out that she B. G. Chandos. {Drawn from @ photograph.) was dead. This, however, was a mistake, as the husband secured a divorce a year later on the ground of desertion. The next heard of Mary Ingles was in London, where, under the names of Marion L. Chandos, the Hon. Mrs. Greville, Mrs. Gordon and Minnie Louise Grusl, she led a gay life, a throng of admirers constantly surrounding her. While in England she married a person who went under the name of McDonald Greville, but whose real name was Edward A. Giething, and a member of the Royal Guards. “*Although the wife of Giething, she had a powerful influence over Lord Hillsbor- ough, heir to the estate of Downshire, and was at length paid £6000 by the noble- man’s family to leave the country. Shortly after her arrival in America a son was born to her, which she left with. her mother, changing the last name to MacMahon that her father might not be able to locate her. The story of her arrival in San Francisco has already been told, but the interest does not stop there. “On the death of Mrs. Bensley B. G. Chandos, whose real name is Zachariah Ingles, came to San Francisco and claimed that he and his sisters, Sarah E. Hardesty, Jennie Goodrich and Lucy Roundtree, were the sole heirs, well knowing that suech was false, “That in brief is the story, though there are a thousand things of interest that could be toid. When the trial comes a lot of evidence will be introduced that will conclusively prove all that I have said.” “As blind as a mole” is not a sensible comparison, as the mole is possessed of good eyesight, although its eyes are very small—about the size of a mustard seed. —_—— LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE Movements of Trans-Atlantic Steamers, NEW YORK—Arrived Apr 16—Stmr Britannia, s, —Arrived Apr 16—Stmr Furnesia, fm —Arrived Apr 16—Stmr Phenicla, HAMBUR! from Nerw York.
