ARRIVAL OF THE PAPEETE. Schooner Sunk While Being Loaded. A Vessel Left High by the Tide. The British steamer Port Btephens, which was reportéd to have taken aboard 4300 tons of barley at Port Costa in eleven hoats, Was not uearly so fast in loading; neither did she get to sea with proportion- ate speed. The barley, being a light commodity, filled up the 4300 tons of space with only 3500 tons of grain. This failed to put the ves- sel down to the Plimsoll mark, and Captain Whitehead objected to sailing his steamer out 800 tons dead weight short.

Grading of the New Line to Begin To- Day in Stockton—Twoe Important Contracts Signed. A contract was signéd yesterday for the grading of the San Francisco and Ban Joaguin Valley road from Stockton har- bor to the southerly limits of that city. Men and horses, with all appliances and tools, were on the ground yesterday ready to begin work, the promise of which had attracted many hundreds of laborers to Stockton. Chief Engineer Storey of the new rail- way stated vesterday that the graders would begin to prepare the bed for the ties and rails to-day. ' For that reason alone Thursday, July 17, 1895, will be a memor- | able day in California, and one of special | significance to the vast level region known | as the 8an Joaquin Valley. There will be no fuss over the turnings of the first shovelful of earth—at least it was not known yesterday at the head offices in this City that the occasion would be one of | celebration. Once the work of construction begins the Valley road will be pushed southward with all gossible dispatch, for everything is in readiness for the start, and the comvpany means business when 1t comes to running 1 The contract for the steel drawbridge THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY,; JULY 1 INSURANCE MEN WEARY. The Managers Are Suing for Peace Because War Is Costly. NINETEEN COMPANIES LEAVE. “] pon’t Want to Play In Your Yard; 1 Don’t Like You Any More.” The fire insurance men have grown weary of cutting rates and begun to talk of attempting some plan of reorganizing a compact on Jines similar to those of the old combination that failed of their pur- ose. Though the rate war lost interest for the public it has abated fiothing frora & busi- ness point of view, and one by one com- panies have dropped from the arena until Tineteen concerns ean now be counted out here. Of these concerns not one is a for« eign corporation. They ate all smaller American companies, and one—the Sun of Ban Francisco—is a Califotnia institution.

She arrived here just thirty days ago, un- | loading and reloading in that remarkably short t1me. The sc hooner Chetco, which was wrecked several months ago on the northern coast, and was floated and docked here last week, came near going down to the bottom | of the bay yesterday with part of acargo of coffee. She had been so poorly repaired that water burst in through her planking as soon as the load began to settle her down. The old steamer Coos Bay has been taken to White's shipyard in Oakland and stretched out equaf to a third of her origi- nal length. The Alviso was laid up yesterday for repairs and ohange of machinery. The little steamer Portland, used by the Boston Fish Company, which went ashore near Donga Island, on the coast of Alaska, July 12, was lost ina peculiar manner, While lying at anchor under the shelter of the island during a storm, the tide, an unusually high one, went ou* and left her up on the rocks twenty feet above the sea level. The crew got ashore and were rescued by the steamer Chilkat, but the schooner being broken by the sharp rocks upon which she rested was a total loss, The Old Horse Club, a colored social oz- ganization, advertised to go on a bay ex- cursion aboard the schooner Robertand Jennie yesterday morning, didn’t go, be- cause the skipper of the double-named eraft wanted his charter coin in advance. The man who was managing the affair made many motions toward his razor- Focket while expostulating with the hard- hearted mariner, but the “Bob and Jen” didn’t sail. Pugilist Jim Hall tried to move the vessel, but concluded that his fighting weight at sea was too light. The crowd was shy about $25 of the demanded charter money and the Old Horse Club dian’t sail the ocean blue. The cruiser Olympia sails next Friday for Mare Island to prepare for her depart- ure for the China station. Lieutenant Thomas S. Phelps, the navigator, has been detached from the vessel and placed on waiting orders. The pretty white barkentine trader Papeete arrived from the islands day be- fore yesterday with 43,600 cocoanuts, sev- eral "hundred tons of copra and a large quantity of seashells, She docked at Mission No. 1, where the small boy of the genus wharfrat was await- ing her and those thousands of cocoanuts. C. C. TERRILL BURIED. He Is Laid to Rest With Inipressive Ceremonies in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. The esteerm 1n which the late Charles C. Terrill was held found evidence yesterday in the large number of friends présent at the obsequies held in Memorial Hall, Odd Fellows’ building. The arrangements for the funeral were under the direction of Apollo Lodge No. 123, 1. 0. 0. F. The services and address by Grand Master P. F. Gosbey of San Jose were filled with kindly reference to the re- gard in which deceased was held by the business community, the affection shown to his loved ones at home, and the loss that would be sustained by the numerous or- ganizations of which he had been an active member. The remains reposed in a massive velvet- covered casket and bore many ele- ant floral pieces. One armchair of filliep and ferns bore the word ‘'Papa.” A large chair of lillies, ferns and sweet peas was from the members of the Builders’ Exchange, who attended in a body, over 200 being present. A beantiful floral piece, representing a_large pillow, was from the trustees of the Free Public Li- brary, while its employes seut an elegant basket.

SWEEPING THE STREETS Ashworth and the Merchants’ Association Working Hand in Hand. Foreman King and Chlef Deputy Donovan Examined a District Together. Superintendent of Streets Ashworth has signed articles of peace with President Dohrmann of the Merchants’ Association in keeping the streets clean. Some com= wlaint having been made of Chief Deputy Donovan’s hypereritical examination of the work done, the Superintendent decided to have Mr. Dohrmann or one of his depu- ties accompany Mr. Donovan in hisrounds. AccordingP % {(r. Ashworth addressed the following letter to Mr. Dohrmann yester- day: % SAN FrANcisco, July 17, 1895. F. W. Dohrmann Esq., 130 Sutter street, City— DEARSIR: I respectfiily request that you ace company my chief depiity, A. &. Donovan, over the route scheduled for sweeping and cleaning the public streets for last evening, &s he has ex- smined the work done and does not desire to pass final judgment upon the same until an opportunity be aflforded you to inspect the same. ‘ 1f, &8 & result of said inspection, you are sat- isfied that the work has been properly done, I shall be pleased to_abide by the expression of your good judgment in the premises. Mr, Dor- ovan will be ready at any hour azreeable to yourse!f with a horse andgbuggy, for the pur- pose aforerentioned. 1shall offer you every facility at my com- mand to co-operate in the ‘matter of & thorough inspection of the work of sweeping and cleaning the streets before passing judg- ment thereon. Respectfully yours, TROMAS ASHWORTH, Superintendendent of Public Streets, Highe way and Squares. Mr. Dohrmann acted on the suggestion at once. He could not go himself, 80 he sent Foreman King in his stead. “The district examined,” said Chief Deputy Donovan yesterday, “was west_of Drumin street and north of Pacific. We found three blocks which were very badly done and three more which hardly came up to the standard. On Battery street, between Broadway and Vallejo; on Front street, from Union to Filbert, and on Front street, from Pacific to Broad- wnygiles of dirt were found in the street. Mr. King condemned the work, and he also said that the men were deserving of censure for not bearing more heavily on the brooms and for skimming the dirt.” Of course allowance must bs made for the streets which are paved with cobbles. Mr. Ashworth wants Mr. Dohrmann to send one of his representatives with me every day, and by doing so all question as to the merit of the work doné can be hereafter avoided.” The Survival of the Fitteat.

With such a condition before the general managers in San Francisco discussions were frequently held with a view to form- ing & compact, Yesterday Butler & Hal- dan and Hugh Craig sent out circular let- ters to the managers and general agents on the question of combining. Mr. Craig’s letter was a characteristic document, which reviews the insurance troubles and suggests remedies in a prac- tical manner as follows: UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT, NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE Coxm{n g 8AN FRANCISCO, July 16, 1895.

To Mana, and Agents; San Francisco—DEAR Sm: The lines above quoted appear to me to very aptly describe the stupid and uncalled-for condition in the fire insurance business in San Francisco at this writing, 1 am free to con- fess that for my part I am sick and tired of it. Surely, if there are ln{ perso; animosities, the experience of the last three months has given opportunity for their gratification. In the meantime, sufficient evidence has been: obtainable as to the facts and the where- abouts of bad faith which brought about the recent lamentable suspension of rates. I think Ivoice the sentiments of the business com- munity of San Francideo in saying that the commeércial interests of the State would hail with pleasure a cessation of the present insur- ance warfare, and certainly our Portland re) Tesentatives are to b¢ commended in discard- ing the bad exemple which we have set them. wotlld therefore suggest that the time is ripe for consideration of the interests of the stockholders of our companies, looking to & res organization which will, if possible, ucn{e Te- form on some of the following points: Uniform rates: cash for premitims on presentation of policies; compensation of agents, and delive; of policies and collection of premiuims throug! a clearing-house. If.in_your opinion, the drastic applications from which the companies we represent have recently suffered have gone far enough, you will do me the honor of o -uun# by writing ncross the face of this commiinication “yes" or “ho,” and returning it to this office. I a ma- jotity of the answert are in the affirmative f will ask D. J. Staples Esq. to call & meeting of the managers and agents of fire companies do- ing business in San Fraucisco to consider t{n question of reorganization. Yours faithfully, HvuGH CRAIG, manager. Butler & Haldan's circular states phinlg that “it will soon be impoesible to avoi fully sharing the consequences which have arisen unless an attempt is made to stem the tide of demotalization.” THE FAIR ESTATE. Judge Slack Confirms Some Bales and Issues Orders for the Payment of Notes. A lot of new orders in the Fair estate were issued yesterday by Judge Black, who is judicially running the Petaluma ranch incidentally with the general management of the trust. The Judge confirmed the special admin- istrator's sale of thirty-seven balxe- :‘fs:u(. ter and 828 sacks of potatoes for 1, 1604 sacks of wheat And 1504 sacks of cor for $4313 57 and forty-three half-barre!ls of brandy for $438 25.

AMONG THE PLAYHOUSES, “Rebellious Susan” Drawing Well at the Baldwin Theater. Good Audientes at the California and Columbla— Successes Elsewhere. A large number of the regular frequenters of the Baldwin are still sojourning av country resorts,.and considering this fact, the Lyceum Theater is doing a very good business. Henry Arthur Jones’ play, ‘“The Case of Rebellious Susan,” which runs all this week, is well worth seelng, as Daniel Froh- man’s players interpret it. The play hasa flimsy plot and no very striking situations, but it is fully redeemed by remarkably bright dialogue and well-drawn chatacters, the individualities of the roles being ac- centuated in several instances by the clever work of the performers, notably of Kelsey and Pybus. Oolumbia Theater. “One of Our Girls” is going well at the little Powell-street house. Miss Dauvray has cast off the nervousness that she showed in the first act on the opening night, and now acts with ease and aban- don all torough the play. The only per- former whose conception of his part needs remodeling is Leslie. If Mr. Leslie in- tends to go on impersonating dukes and other people of high degree, he might with advantage take a few lessons in deport- ment. French dukes may be wicked— some of tham doubtless are—buat none of them strut about the salons of the great, like badly made marionettes, and it is a ity to see one actor introé\min[abur- esque into an otherwise excellent per- formance. California Theater. Crowded houses and laughter attest the popularity of Hoyt's “A Black Sheep,” which, with its ridiculous situations and catchy music, seéems to have ‘‘caught on” well with the San Francisco public. The role of Hot Stuff was written for Otis Har- lam, and it fits him like a glove. The ‘“‘Sheep’’ will begin its second week at the California Theater on Monday. Grand Opera-House. “The Flag of Truce’ is the last but by no means the least of Walter Sanford’s repertoire. All his productions have been played to large audiences and have been well received, though they have not all been up to Mocosco’s usual standard. *The Flag of Truce” is full of patriotic and domestic devotion and appeals to the serious rather than the comic side of humanity, although the nurse is amus- ingly played by Miss Blanc, and Miss Heney and Leslie cause a _good deal of merriment with their love affairs. The Orpheum, One of the most amusing acts at the Orphéum this week is the Hayseed or- chestra, which plays in such an excru- ciatingly horrible manner that it delights the audierice by its very shortcomings, and is received more warmly thana band of reat performers would be. The Witney Emthars perform ¢leverly upon a variety and produce dulcet strains ng-match. Kennedy and artinettis are as popular of instruments out of a boxl Lorenz and the a8 ever. The Tivoln “Batanella' is drawing latger audiences than the Tivoli has seen for a long time, and the bright music is continnally ap- plauaed. Alice Nielson makes a clever Satanella, though voeally she is not robust enough for the part. Pache has a fine stage presence, and Miss Millard is quite satisfactory. The voices are a little over= weighted by the brass in places, but taken altogether the opera is going well, The Aloasar. The screaming farce:comedy “Muleahy’s Visit'” is keeping Alcazar audiences in roars of laughter nightly. On Sunday evening next the New York Irving-place Theater Company will begin their first engagement in this City, present. ing for the first time in this City the com- edy “Der Herr Senator.” g Missionary to America. Rev. M. K. Tal of Toklo, Japan, arrived in Ban Francisco nearly ten days ago. He eame to Califorhia to do evangelical work among the Japanese. In Japan Rev. Mr. ui is regarded as the most eminent and successful native minister. Fifteen years ago he was converted to the Christian faith through missionaries of the Episcopal churefi. Since that time he has been mgvely at work among his own e le. v. Mr. Tai will remain in P]i‘nna cisco about six months, spending his time among the Japanese, and aldo studying closely the general work of the eh\m‘ a8 conducted here. He has not secured per- manent headcfmrurl as yet, though it is ot improbable that he will locate at 225 Golden Gate avenue.

SOME GOOD ADVICE GIVEN. Recommendations of the Mayor on Sanitation—No Appointments Are Made. The new Board of Health was installed yestérday morning and the old board ad- journed sine die. Mayor Sutro presided and called the retiring board to order, there being present Drs. Bucknall, Regens- burger, Mays and Long. Besides there were present the new board—Drs. J. F. Morse, G. J. Fitzgibbon, J. M. Williamson and Henry H. Hart—and Dr. Somers of the Receiving Hospital, Superintendent Weaver of the Almshouse, Dr. Titus of the City and County Hospital, Quarantine Officer Latlor, Health Officer Keeney and others, The routine business was disposed of, the report of the retiring board showing that the sanitary condition of the City was fairly good. The Health Officer’s report showed 433 deaths for June, as against 441 deaths for the corresponding month of last year. Dr. Somers reported 600 cases at- tended to in the Receiving Hospital during the month and Quarantine Officer Lawlor reported that fifty-four vessels had been inspected during the same period. he new board was then instructed by the Mayor to file their credentials and de- clared the old board retired. Dr. Regens- burger spoke for the old board, thanking the Mayor and his colleagues for their kindness and courtesy. He said. that he hoped the new board would accomplish some of the things which had to be left un- done by their predecessors regarding sani- tary improvements. He called attention to the need of thor- ough milk inspection. A garbage crema- tory was among the needs of the City. There had been $10,000 spgroprinted for the purpose, but nothing had ever been done in the matter, The present ambu- lance system, he said, was a disgrace to the City, and there should be also a smallpox hospital. The streets ought to be kept clean and the garbage-wagons should kept covered. r. Mays and Dr. Bucknall followed their colleague in a similar strain and Mayor Sutro addressed the new board as follows: In welcoming you, the new Board of Health of the City of San Francisco, I desire to express the hope that your administration mey be pro- gressive, intelligent and effective, and that at the end ?{ your term you may look back with satisfaction and pride on what you have ac- complished. To thé ¢ommunity nothing is more inipor- tant tkan proper sanitation, and tnis is placed u)x‘uinr your supervision and is your especial charge. Pase aldh pute Water ahd wholesome faod st the three great requisites for a community. Pure air means good sewerage; it means clean streets and the abatement of nuisances. Pure watet means the condemnation of con- taminated drinking water, and wholesome food means industrions, energetic and honest inspection of all the food products exposed for sale to our citizens. You belong to the younger school of medis cine. You are acquainted with the bearingand influence of the study of bacteriology upon sanitary measures, and I think & bacteriolog- ical 1#boratory, stocked with the best appli- ances for the development of cultures, should be provided for the use of the Board of Health. The expense would be but a trifle compared to the benefits to be derived therefrom. The Board of Health should not be subject to political influences. You have charge of the charitable institutions, wherein the poor, the sick, the aged, the helpless and the unfor- tunate are cared for by the community. The attendants should not be chosen from political partiss as a reward for political services; they should be chosen for their humanity, their ex- erience and their fitness for the work, and hose who in the past haye performed their dnties honestly anda faithfully -should be re- tained in their positions and not cast out to make room for friends o be rewarded by a new administration. With these suggestions, which I hope will meet with your careful conslderation and ap- proval, we will now proceed to the regular ordér of business. There being nho immediate business, the new board took an adjournment to ‘Wednesaay, the 24th inst., at 11 o’'clock.

Judge Campbell has another stubborn juror on his hands, and he declares that in this instance he will make an example of him by fining him and sending him to jail for contempt of court. A case of selling liquor to a minor child was on for trial in his court yesterday afternoon before a jury. Policeman Ma- loney was delailed to serve the subpenas, which, in most cases, are in the name of “John Doe.” Maloney went into the boot and shoe store of Rosenthal Bros. & Co., 107 Kearny street, and served otie of the ““John Doe” subpenas upon the bookkeeper of the firm, ‘When asked for his name he refused to ive it, and Maloney so reported to the ud, ‘V‘hen the names of the jurors were called a colored man named Davis, who works in the boot and shoe store, rose and told the Juage that Mr, Rosenthal had sent him to serve on the jury, ““You are not the man who was served with the subpena,” said the Judge. **Where is the bookkeeper ?” 3 “He is not here,” said Davis. “I have been sent in his place.” ““This is a deliberate insultto the court,” said the Judge angrily. ‘‘Ishall order an attachment to be made out against the bookkeeper and will fix his bonds at $500. I wag lenient with a juror on Monda; and I thought my remarks then woufd knve shown thal this shirking of a plain uty would not be tolerated. It is time an example was made of some one and I mean to do it in this instance.” The attachment was made out and Police- man Maloney went with it to Rosanthfl Brothers’ store, but_the bookkeeper coul not be found. Mr. Rosenthal'explained to the officer that he Bad gone out collecting, but he would have him in ¢ourt this morn- ing. He did not give the bookkeeper's name to the officer and said he lived some- where on Sacramento street, but he did not kilow the number. el GILRS' HIGH SOHOOL HALL.
