Debs as a candidate for President or Vice-President of the United States, he gtates that Debs had stated most positively that he would accept no nomination for any office. Knox also stated that it would be inad- visable to place Debs in the field at present, as the laboring men were not yet sufficiently united to poll all their strength for him . Charles Teppers of 620 Washington street is to be arrested for selling liquors without a license. He keeps a restaurant and contends that he did not sell the stuff, but gave it away with the meals.

Quitéa number of other delinquent restaurant-keepers are at- empting to evade payment of the tax on the .ame grounds as Teppers. Antonio Flores fell down a light-well at 508 roadway yesterday afternoon and received injuries from which he may die. He was en- gaged in a brawl, near the County Jail, and when the officers arrived he ran up to the roof of the building at 510 Broadway. Imgunning across the roofs he plunged into an open well, or court, and fell two stories to a stone floor. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where he now lies at the point of death, his skull being probably fractured. The celcbration of the feast of St. Ignatius 111 be held in 8t.

Harbor Commissioners and the Ferry-House—Shall It Be Marble and Steel? The Harbor Commissioners are deter- mined that the State law which prohibits teams from being driven faster than a to jud%e Mr. Strauss leniently knew noth- ing'of the intention to furthér punish the plain-spoken brother. B. E. Dutton is perhaps the most out- spoken of the critics of Dr. Brown’s posi- tion in the case. He <aid yesterday: “I never had ungebut the kindest feelings for Dr. Brown before, but his actionin the Strause matter 1 consider unwarrantable, unkind and unchristian. His rulings on Wednesday evening would not be tolerated by any deliberative body in the world. Nagel spoke to the question three times, always with the permission of the chair, while young Littlefield, when he wanted to speak the second time, was ruled out of order. The audience knew this, and I can only account for their lack of resistance by the theory that they respect the office of the pastor, though the man himself is un- popular. I believe there will be an effort to reinstate Mr. Strauss, and I will do what I can to make it a success. There are no plans as yet. If there were it wonld not be wise to give them to thenewspapers. 1f General Sherman had had published his plans of campaign Jeff Davis would have Lnown how to proceed,” T. H.

The officers stationed on the docks, especially at Clay street, have been running after teamsters who, taking advantage of the smooth planking of the wharves, let their horses go at a faster gait upon leaving stone pavements. The penalty is a fine of $20, or ten days in the County Jail, for each offense, and the drivers who have been treating the offi- cers' orders to check their speed as an everyday joke will find the arrest some- what serious. A new towboat, built by the Union Iron Works for use by the Pacific Mail Com- pany on the Guatemalan coast, made her first trip afloat yesterday. She is named the Santa Luca,and as she was speeded around the bay flying the ensign of Guatemala she appeared to be a pretty craft and quite fast. Her length is 46 feet, beam 12 feet and depth 7 feet, with engines of 100 horsepower. She is a wooden vessel and will steam 10 knots an hour. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company is preparing to transport the grain crop of this year to market. Several passenger steamers have been fitted up to carry freight exclusively. The Coos Bay is bein | lengthened out and the Alex Duncan an Yaquina overhauled for more storage room. The Pacific Mail steamship Belgic sailed | from Yokohama for San Francisco July 31, with a large cargo and twenty-eight cabin passengers. Admiral John G. Walker, U. 8. N., who has been inspecting the lighthouses of the Pacific Coast, left last night for Washing- ton in a special car by way of Portland. The British steamer Progressist arrived yesterday, three and a half days from De- parture Bay, with 4470 tons of coal. The steamer Progreso sailed for Panama with a miscellaneous cargo, valued at $100,017. The Harbor Commissioners are thinking deeply over their new ferry building and wondering how it shall be built. Irving M. Scott at the last meeting of the board was in favor of steel and marble, a construction that will bring beauty and durabilty to the great house for S8an Fran- cisco’s water front. He goes backward in architectural history and asks why the marble temple of Jupiter Olympus, built 530 years before Christ, where the great blocks of stone were fastened together with iron dowels, that may yet be seen, may not be considered as evidence in this case? George H. Sanders of the firm of Wright & Sanders of this City stated to the board that a buildin§ could be built of marble and steel ataless cost than it was pro- osed to expend in brick or any other in- ?erior material after a system that seemed soon to become obsolete. He said that the tendency in modern progress of buildin constructiona_was to minimize the use o material, to lighten the structure and to economize in expense. 1i5000 tons of bur- den can be taken off the foundations it is an idea worthy of consideration. John I. Sabin, in a letter to the Board of Harbor Commissioners, called attention to the brick walls of the City Hall, satu- rated with moisture, and recommended a ferry building of something more durable and more unpenetrable to the elements. TRUSTEES' CERTIFICATES. The Valley Road Pooling Agreement in Its Last Form—Engineering Progres! Thomas Brown, chairman of the trustees of the Ban Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway, issued yesterday a notice to subscribers of the capital stock of the road that trustees’ certificates were ready for delivery. Btockholders may get the certificates on presentation of receipts for the first and second installments to Daniel Meier, at 214 Pine street. Chief Engineer Storey stated yesterday that he was very highly pleased with the progress made so far by the surveying par- ties down the valley. He received a letter notifying him that the party farthest south had made preparations for moving camp last night to a convenient spot six miles from Bakersfield, the southern terminus of the line. Another party of engineers has moved away from the Merced River after locating a crossing, and was working at last advices about midway between the Merced River and Merced City. The surveyors have already gone over the ground southward from Fresno to within about ten miles from Bakersfield, locating two lines part of the way. Mr. Graham’s corps has finished surveying from Stockton to the Merced River, and are not far from that city at present, with a gap unfinished only as far as Fresno. —————— TO REINSTATE STRAUSS. Criticisms of Dr. Brown’s Actions in the Excommunication Case. The friends of Meyer Strauss and those who think the proceedings of the First Congregational Church in the matter of bis expulsion were unjustifiable have not vet decided upon a definite course of action in regard to his reinstatement. Some prominent members of the church are of the opinion that the action was ille- gal and that Mr. Strauss is as much a member of the church as before it was taken. They claim that the vote of cen- sure passed by the standing committee was a form which the mn{omy of the church might possibly be willing to ratify as a means of church discipline. But the act of expulsion they characterize as trickery, and say that care was taken that Dr. Brown’s followers were there en masse, while those who would have been inclined immorality. He considered the action un- warrantable and would aid in a movement to rescind it. Deacon Howard Barnard said the pro- ceeding was astounding and outrageous, and he believed something would be done soon to rectify the error. The matter will probably come up again at the Wednesday evening prayer meeting. AFTER A MISER'S GOLD. Kinsfolk of Old Cornelius King Enter Suit in the Pro-~ bate Court. He Trundled Barrels Along the Streets, but Left Nearly a Quarter of a Million. A suit was filed in the Probate Court yesterday in the form of a petition for revocation of probate of the will made by Cornelius King, an eccentric character of Ban Francisco, who died as a pauperin 1894, but left an estate valued at $214,000. King left $500 each to the two children of his deceased aunt—Mrs. Mary Cronin of Petaluma—and all the residue of his es- tate to his nephews and a niece, children of a deceased brother in New York. The Eastern devisees were appointed to admin- ister the will, but they resigned in favor of J. B. Fargo of this City. But the old fellow, who was known as a miser and a' very poor man, left a brother and sister in Ireland and a sister in Cali- fornia, whom he brought here many years ago. This last sister was married to a man named Machada and went to live across the bay on the San Pablo rancho, and so became lost to her kinsfolk. The Irish relatives began legal proceedings to recover the estate and secured the services of Attorney George P. Burke of Watson- ville, who secured Sullivan & Sullivan to work with him on the case. The attor- neys found Mrs. Machada Thursday after- noon, and through them she first learned that her brother was dead. She is in a state of poverty almost, as are her brother and sister in Ireland, but should they win the suit each will receive at least $40,000. King was a remarkable old man. He lived for many years in a dingy room of the Montgomery block with four padlocks on the door. He came to California in 1850, and first became familiar on the streets of San Francisco by trundling all kinds of barrels bafore him.” He used to buy barrels and roll them from the Mission to wholesale houses near the water front, where they were sold at a small profit. Early in 1889 he fire a shot at Graiton Hatch near the door of his room, believing that Hatch wasan enemy. In April of that year he was adjudged insane—four years aiter the will was made. He suffered from many delusions—that people were constantly calling him names, and wanted to rob him, 80 he was sent to the Napa Asylum, where he died in July, 1894, At the time of his death he was popularly supposed to be poor, but it was learned immediately after- ward that he had cash deposited in five of the City saving banks amounting to $199,- 608 95, which, with interest added, made a total 0f $214,000. And now the penniless kinfolk of the dead and gone miser are making a fight for his noll‘f ————— WILL SUE FRITZ SOHEEL. An Advance Agent of the Wants Her Pay. Mrs, N. Neitler, who acted as advance agent for Fritz Scheel, the orchestra leader, while he was talking of a concert tour to Los Angeles during May last, is about to sue the musician for $100 for wages while workm%up the scheme. Mrs. Neitler claims to have been sent to Los AnFelex by Bebeel and exhibits letters and telegrams to prove her assertions. After drumming up a substantial subserip- tion list for the concerts she found that Scheel, for some reason, had placed the matter in other hands. Later the project was given up. Mrs. Neitler says that persons who wished to injure her led Scheel to break faith with her and that except for stories which were circulated regarding her by Scheel and these friends she would not Yxnve thought of a suit. —————— THE LAST OF ALL. Professor O. R. Gleason’s Fight With Dixie To-Morrow Afternoon. Professor Gleason, the horsetamer will make his last appearance in Ban Francisto at Central Park to-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock. An unusually entertaining and varied programme will be offered, including the taming and driving of hitherto unmanage- able horses both single and double, the breaking of bucking bronchos and fsnr.y horseback-riding. The sensational event of the day, how- ever, will be the attempted taming of Dixie, a stallion with a most unenviable record. He will be turned loose without a particle of harness on with the professor in a 24-foot pen. Gleason will only use a whip, and promises to have him under control in thirty minutes.

Freeat10e. m. * CIVIC FEDERATION ACTS, It Protests Against Bringing the Almshouse Into Politics. OBJECTS TO WEAVER'S REMOVAL Adopted Resolutions Asking the Board of Health to Retain the Incumbent. The Civic Federation has taken in hand the prosposition to remove Superintend- ent Weaver of the Almshouse, and will | make vigorous protest to the Board of | Health against such a proceeding. The | leaders of the federation claim the removal of Weaver is only contemplated that the place may be given to a politician. The superintendency of the Almshouse, the Civic Federationists maintain, has been kept out of politics since it became one of the City’s institutions, and the pro- posed move they say is only one intended to place it among the perquisites of party victory. This they say is accentuated by the fact that it is proposed to supplant Mr. Weaver by Edward Reddy, whom they characterize as a carpetbagger, for the reason that he has until recently lived in Mono County, and has never voted in San Francisco. The Federationists appear to have nothing to say against the character of Reddy, and only oppose him on the ground that he is not eutitled to the place, and that in the management of the insti- tution the civil service idea should ob- tain, At the last meeting of the federation it was decided that the protest it intended to make be embodied in a form of resolutions to be presented to the Board of Health at | its next meeting. Accordin(fly a resolu- tion was prepared and adopted, the text of which was as follows: WHEREAS, A trong pressure is being brought to bear on the new Board of Health to remove Superintendent Weaver of the San Francisco Almshouse in order to make place fora poli- tician not a citizen or resident of San Fran- cisco, and whereas,the Civic Federation, a non- | partisan body orgenized for the purpose of pro- | moting and encouraging good goverument in this City, believes that the removal of an effi- cient public officer from so important a posi- | tion for no worthier motive than to make place for a favored politician would not only be against the best interests of the public, but would be an_outrage against decency, and an exhibition of callous indifference to the misfor- tunes of the poor who are obliged to seek a public shelter; therefore be it Resolved, That the Civic Federation respect- | fuily submits to the Board of Health the fol- | lowing statement: The San Francisco Almshouse, under the au?erimendency of Mr. Weaver, is equaled only by two other institutions of the kind in the United States. It is the only department of our City government enjoying such distine- tion. Theére have been noscandals in the man- agement of this institution under Mr. Weaver. There have been no charges of waste or ex- | travagance. The records show that the ex- penses have been exiremely moderate. The present Board of Health has been hailed as a reform body. Governor Budd has an- nounced frequently tbat he would not inter- fere with the Board of Health in the selection of officers for the important positions in the | publie service. This being the case, the board can be under no constraint to remove an effi- cient and faithful officer from & position that | all good citizens agree should of & non- | political character. | Edward Reddy, who asks for Mr. Weaver's | place, is a wan with whom the members of the federation are not personally scquanted, as he is not a citizen of San Francisco. His name is not on the Great Register of voters. We have heard that he is & man of good character, but Mr. Reddy has not been associated with the charitable affairs of our City. We cannot conceive that he has any right o the place to which he aspires. We understand that he cemes from Mono County, and that he has not for years had any other occupation than that of politics. The Almshouse is a purely San Francisco 1mstitution, supported by our taspayers; itis | proper they should be represented in its man- agement. The Civic Federation believes that the Board of Health should apply civil service principles to this case. The office of Superiniéndent of the Almshouse should not be a prize for con- tending politicians. It bas not been so here- tofore. Mr. Keating, the predecessor of Mr. Weaver, retained his place for twenty-seven years, to the great benefit of the Almshouse. Therefore, we rcstecl!ul]y protest against the removal of Mr. Weaver to make a political place for Mr. Reddy. 1.J. Truman, President; James L. Case, See- retary; E. McClish, George T. Gadin, J. Cum- ming Smith, THE SOPHIE SUTHERLAND. Uncle Sam Has a Claim Against Her Now. Uncle Sam libeled the sealing schooner Sophie Sutherland in the United States Distriet Court yesterday. Captain Suther- land is accnsed of taking fourteen seals within the limits proscribed by law, and if the charge against him is sustained, his vessel will be confiscated and he can be sent to jail. There were 300 skins on the schooner when she was seized, and United States District Judge Morrow appointed E. Was- serman, Adolph Bissinger and B. Sternfels to value them., To fix the value of the vessel James H. Bruce. Horace W. Watson and Allen Y. Trask were appointed. e - — T0 LIMIT PILOTS' LIABILITY. They Will Only Pay What Their Schooners Are Worth. The owners of the pilot schooner Gracie S want their liability limited, and with that end in view they yesterday filed a petition in the United Btates District Court. Nine pilots each own an interest in the vessel, and not one of them wants to be liable for more than that interest calls - or. When the Gracie 8 was being fitted out at the Union Iron Works, W. -.5 J. Bloane had the contract for the carpets and up- holstering. Henry Grundel was sent out by them to do some of the work, and in boarding the schooner fell everboard, and, accidentally striking his head against the side, was knocked insensible and drowned before assistance reached him. Frank Grundel, as administrator of the estate, sued for $50,000 damages, and the pilots assert that the schooner is not worth nearly that much money. Hence their motion. SETTLED BY THE HEIRS The Merchants’ Exchange Bank Claim of $900,000 Against C. W. Kellogsg. Although Kellogg Went Into Insol- vency the Litigation Has Been Kept Up. The heirs of C. W. Kellogg yesterday effected the settlement of a $900,000 claim against the estate, the claim being held by the Merchants's Exchange Bank of this City. ‘When Mr. Kellogg was president of the bank he drew money from time to time, with the knowledge of the directors. His notes were given for the money, and these, on September 14, 1879, amounted to $264,- 526 82. On this indebtedness Mr. Kellogg agreed to pay 1 per cent a month, but he was en- tirely unable to meet his obligations, and the interest has run up until the amount due on the notes is now $900,000, as the figures were presented in the County Clerk’s office yesterday afternoon. Kellogg went into bankruptcy soon after he retired from the presidency of the bank, and his estate was closed up in the United States District Court. Against the suit of the bank the Plen of bankruptcy was entered, but the litigation has been kept up, and the executors of the Keliogg estate have consented fo pay for a legal settlement. Joseph M. Loewe and Mrs. M. E. Gilroy, the executors, have agreed to pay to the bank $1500, which is larger in proportion to the Kellogg estate than in comparison with the claim. When this money Is paid the litigation will be dropped, and the executors will be ermitted to close up the estate without itigation. SPENT A NIGHT IN JAIL. Judge Conlan Promptly Undoes the ‘Work of a Special Officer. A rather officious piece of work on the part of Special Police Officer Heyneman came to light in Police Judge Conlan’s court yesterday. It appears that on the evening before Joseph Pedler, a 16-year- old boy, who lives with his mother on Laurel avenue, near Gough street, was in company with several friends singing and playing on the sidewalk in front of his mother’s house. The hour was be- tween 8:30 o’clock and 9. The officer Bounced down upon_the ouths, all of whom ran away except Ped- er, who sat on the steps. The officer roughly dragged him to the City Prison and charged him with disturbing the peace. His mother was not notified of his arrest and spent an anxious night, not knowing where her son was. In the Police Court when Judge Conlan was informed of the factsof the case he promptly discharged the boy. [t was rep- resented that he is a_quiet, well-behaved youth, and with his brother is the only support of his mother. ife - et CLAUS SPRECKELS WINS, Important Victory in the Legal Contest Begun by His Son. AMFNDED COMPLAINT FILED. Rudolph Spreckels’ Motion to Dis- solve the Sugar Stock Injune~ tion Denled. An important victory for Claus Spreckels in the suit to recover 5000 shares of Paaubav plantation stock from Rudolph Spreckels was gained yesterday in the Superior Court, Judge Slack denying the defendant’s motion to dissolve the injune- tion. This motion was made the occasion of a great deal of argument in the case, and the legal fight was a bitter one. Rudolph Bpreckels had been enjoined from using the income from the 5000 shares of Hawaiian stock or in any way disposing of the property. The stock had been con- veved to the son by Claus Spreckels, but Mrs. Spreckels, the wife of the latter, had not been a party to the conveyance, and as the stock was community property the transfer was held to be illegal. Attorney Ach, representing Rudolph Spreckels, argued that the transfer was legal and that therefore the restraining order should be no longer held in force, and an entire day was devoted to the pre- sentation of the case, Delmas & Shortridge argued the other side of the case, and the main subject mat- ter of the case was deeply gone into. The case was submitted to Judge Slack a week ago, and yesterday the decision was handed down. a An amended complaint was filed yester- ay. ADVERTISING THE STATE. Half-Million Club Asking Editors to Use Their Influence on County Supervisors. The promotion committee of the Half- Million Club is now sending out a cireular letter to ail the editors of the State asking them to do all in their power to persuade county Supervisors to spend all the law allows for advertising purposes. In the letter it says: The initatory move of the committee will be in the direction of encouraging the formation of development clubs, real estate associations, or other organizations 1n every locality, for stimulating improvements that will make the towns and cities more attractive and in secur- ing an understanding between the real estate dealers, by which prospective purchasers shall be held, instead of driven away by petty jeal- ousies and misrepresentations, and also for co- o?ernuug with the committee in furthering its plans. And it is to be hoped that any existin, organizations in your section of the State will put themselves in correspondence witn our club for mutual co-operation. The club has undertaken the work of pre- paring stereopticon slides illustrative of every section, industry and atiraction in California, and théy will haveentire charge of the lectures to be given daily at the Atlanta Exposition in conection with the State Board of Trade’s exhibit. As the present desire of the board is to send part of the exhibit to Chicago at the close of the exposition, the club will continue its stercopticon lectures at the headquarters in that city, provided sufficient funds are sup- plied. e WHEN THE HORSES PARADE. Preparations for a Grand Show in De- cember Next. The Horse Show Association of the Pa- cific Coast, which was formed after the close of last year’s show to perpetuate the institution, is making active preparations for the show of 1895, and has set the date of the affair for December 3 to 7, inclusive. At the last meeting of the ,association $15,000 was voted for cash prizes for the coming show. First, second and third money prizes, in addition to premiums from private individuals, will be given in each class. Eighty of the 125 boxes at the show have already been subscribed for, and the indi- cations are that before the doors open the remainder will be taken up. The entry list, which is now open, will close on November 9 and no entries will be received after that date.
