TROUBLE ON THE GALILEE Quarantine Officer Chalmers En- forces the Rules—The Olympla in Port. The British ship Sierra Estrella sailed for Queenstown Wednesday and yesterday the Sierra Nevada arrived 154 days from Liver- pool. Captain Dagg of the former vessel was exceedingly anxious to see Captain Scott of the Sierra Nevada before sailing, and delayed his departure for that purpose. At last he gave up waiting and reluctantly tripped his anchor und squared away for the Irish port. As he passed out from the coast Scott's vessel came in, and thus the vestibuled train leaving here for the tri- ennial conclave, as the%entml Pacific does not possess one. It is owned by the Union Pacific Company, and was broug h here from Omaha by General Agent D. W. Hitchcock especially for the Knights. There is one dining-car—the National— and four sleepers—Astoria, _Garfield, Monida and Echo—all vestibuled and fin- ished in the best and latest styles. One hundred Oakland Knights will travel across the continent in luxury in the Union Pacific train, taking in Salt Lake, Niagara, Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands and picturesque parts of Canada along the St. Lawrence. —————— FOR THE VALLEY ROAD. Trainloads of Piles and Timbers Arrive at Sausalito. Piles and other timbers for the San Joaquin Valley road are being unloaded from the North Pacific Coast Railroad trains at the ferry slip at Sausalito, There are forty-two carloads in the consignment, about half of which arrived yesterday, and the rsmainder will be unloaded to- ImMOrTow. A barge was sent over yesterday to Sau- salito to receive theshipment. The timber will be unloaded from the cars to the barge and transported by water to Stockton. This material is to be distributed along the LIES BETWEEN TWD SITES The Affiliated Colleges Com- mission Not Yet Able to Choose. DR. COLE'S POINT OF VIEW. Mayor Sutro’s Offer South of the- Park Preferred by the Chair= man. Either the offer of Mayor Sutro of a tract of over thirteen acres south of Golden Gate Park will be taken advantage of, or the seven-acre piece of property on Potrero avenue will be chosen as the site for the Affiliated Colleges; at least present indica- tions are that the selection has narrowed down to these two offers. It is hard to tell which of the two pro- route of the new road between Stockton and the Stanislaus River, to be used at the posed sites stands in most favor with the | commission, and it is not easy to predict i THE SIERRA NEVADA SAILING B:L:CKE TO THE QUARANTINE GEKOUNDS. two ships passed in the night without meet- ing. The Sierra Nevada’s half circle of stormy | Cape Horn was from gale to gsle. decks were swept from forecastle to poop with heavy seas, and the fierce tempests howled over the ocean incessantly. “From about 40 south in the Atiantic to the same latitude in the Pacific,”’ said First Mate R. W. Leyne, *‘we pushed our way through the succeeding storms. I never | saw such hard weather, even off the Horn.” Several men were hurt by the seas that washed over ihe decks. James Fish was thrown against the lee rail and his spine | severely injured during a furious gale May 16, and Third Mate W. D. Stoney was pitched under a spare spar lying on the deck and his left thigh was broken. Cap- tain Scott set the splintered limb and the injured sailor lay in his berth and let the fracture close again while his ship was struggling, over the mad seas. A tossing and storm-menaced vessel is not the quiet- est place for a bedridden patient, and Mate Stoney will always bave aslightly crippled | limb as a reminder of his paintul experi- ence. The Sierra Nevada is one of the fleet of twelve white hull and spar vessels owned by Thompson Anderson of Liverpool. T{ley are the Sierra Estrella, Sierra Parima, Sierra Cadena, Sierra Blanca, Sierra Co- lonna, Sierra Cordova, Sierra Lucena, Sierra Morena, Sierra Pedrosa, Sierra Ventura and Sierra Nevada. o s The ship had quite an experience with Quarantine Officer Chalmers as she came into port. After the tug let go the vessel off Green street the doctor came alongside in the Governor Perkins and ordered Cap- tain Scott to go back to the quarantine rounds west of Alcatraz and await to be arded. Scottexpostulated, but the officer would not inspect the ship in that locality, and sail was made on the ship. The wind was light, and the tide threw her over toward the Berkeley flats and she was in danger of grounding, when she hastily signaled for a tug. One of the redstacks took her in tow, and she was taken back to Black Point, where the Quarantine Officer went aboard. 7 Captain Scott is angry as only a British seaman can get at the double towing expense put upon his vessel, and the know- ing ones along the water front say as the Sierra Nevada is one of the ships which Dr. Macdonald has secured for medical ractice Dr. Chalmers is not inclined to rook any quarantine infractions on the part _of tflsv, craft. However, this is the opinion of Macdonald, who soon after poarded the ship to attend the injured seaman. Dr. Chalmers states that no vessel from a foreign port shall pass the quarantine grounds until she is boarded and inspected, and pilots and mlg captains must remem- ber tfiat there will be no exceptions to the rule. E The British ship Manydown, Captain Glover, came in yesterday 163 days irom Swansea. When five days out from that port the cook went insane and ]um({)ed overpoard, sinking before & boat could be lowered. Yesterday morning David Hatch, a col- ored sailor on the brig Galilee, which ar- rived from Tahiti, attempted to assault Mate Anderson with a big knife. During the passage of the vessel up from the islands Hatch ran things to suit himself and walked the deck looking for war. ‘When the brig docked he wastold to leave. He did, but became intoxicated ashoreand returned to the vessel with his butcher- knife and ran amuck around the deck, The mate and crew took to the rigging and Hatch was in command until Police Officer Callahan arrested him. He was taken to the police station and charged with an assault with a deadly weapon. Hatch was once an understudy of Pugilist %{all, aml!isla éllespente fighter as well as'a ig powerful fellow. %he cruiser Olympia anchored off Clay street yesterday evening. She will remain here for ten days, then sail for China by way of Honolulu. Her complement of crew is short a large number of ordinary seamen and firemen. The old ship Blue Jacket was sold at auction for l378:3!. She wiil be brokenup for her metal. There was no meeting of the Board of Harbor Commissioners yesterday on ac- count of the death of Commissioner Chad- bourne’s father. WILL TRAVEL IN LUXURY. Oakland Knights Templar to Have a Vestibuled Train From Omaha. A solid vestibuled train has arrived at Oakland from Omaha to carry the Knights The | j; Templar of Oakland Commandery to Bos- ton and back again. It will be the only depressions and waterways for trestle- | work and small bridges. is timber 1s shipped irom Duncans ills, situated eighty miles above Sausa- lito, and is of good quality for the uses to which it is to be put. FREE. LIBBARY ELEVATOR If One Were Supplied It Would Prove M- valuable. Ladles Object to Climbing the Long Flights of Stairs to Reach the Rooms. An average of about 1000 volumes are delivered daily during summer months to borrowers at the Free Public Library. The visitors number a little less than this, as some visitors draw more than one vol- ume. Not more than 250 ladies and girls visit the library daily. The reason for this small proportion of female borrowers is that in order to reach the library they have to mount three long flights of stairs, | a task to which most of them are unequal. The objections that used to be urged against the library as a place for ladies to visit, on account of the proximity of the courtrooms and their hangers-on, do not hold good now, when the library has a separate entrance in no way connected with the rest of the City Hall. The in- terior accommodations of the library are also now more comfortable for ladies, who have access to the reference and periodical rooms and have all the daily papers in their portion of the reading gailery. The trustees are about to make further improvements by moving the ladies’ read- ing-room down to the main floor of the library, so that they will not have any steps to climb after entering the lbrary, and will have a Landy place to consult the catalogues. With all these advantages that it did not have before, ana while it is growing in all other directions, the library is not used as it should be by ladies. Thisisonly be- cause of the lack of an elevator. Many old folks, retired from the active duties of life, are among the borrowers of the library, but many more, who are un- able to climb the long stairs, are deprived of its benefits. It isa painful thing to see the old people toiling up the stairs, restin; at every landing, many of them trouble with asthma, which makes stair-climbin, doubly tortuous. An elevator would ad 20 per cent to the circulation of thelibrary, which increase would be composed of those who are now unable to avail themselves of the privileges of the City’s books. CAPTURE OF A SPY. Mrs. Mollie Madden, a Divorced Woman, Proves Herself a Fine Sprinter. Mrs. Mollie Madden, the divorced wife of John Madden of the drayage firm of Madden & Lowry, swore outa warrant in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday for the arrest of Frank Williams, alias Dunn, on the charge of personating an ofhcer. A case is pending in the Superior Court in_which the husband is seeking to set aside the decree which awarded his wife $40 a month alimony and the custody of the five children. About 10 o’clock Wednesday night Mrs, Madden saw Williams prowling around ber house on Dolores sireet. Suspectin he was a spy in the employ of her husband, she determined to capture him. He ran when he saw her emerge from the house, and after a hot chase of several blocks she succeeded in ¢gnbbing Williams by the collar. He told her he was a special police officer, but he could not show a badge. Mrs. Madden kept a grip of WEIliAml and marched him off to the police station, He managed to get away from her and boarded a Valencia-street ‘car. Mrs. Mad- den followed close behind and got on the same car. She again collared Williams, jerked bim off the car and took him in trinmph to the station, where he was bocked for disturbing the peace and drunk- enness. Now he will have to answer to the other charges. e The peach blossom has been selected by a vote of the schoolchildren of Delaware as the floral emblem of that State. when it will be able to come to a decision | of choice. A great deal can be said in favor of either | piece. That on Potrero avenue extends to | Harrison street, and runs from Kiiteenth | to Sixteenth streets, and is near the City | and County Hospital; the tract offered by | Mr. Sutro will have the advantage of his | library close by; can be reached by the | Metropolitan electric line; will be only a few plocks distant from the Almshouse; is a pretty site, and will be very near to the park. Mayor Sutro has made every concession the commission has asked for, and went | still further yesterdzy in a proposition he submi tted to Dr. R. Beverley Cole, chair- | man of the commission. He offered to give the commission eighty feet more, so as to extend the original offer to a straight line running continuously with First avenue. This placesa tract at the disposal of the commission running from First to Fourth avenues south of J street. The topography of the land is such there that a natural amphitheater isformed, with a stretch of about 1600 feet between the two extremes. The ground slopes toward the northward, and it is the west- ern half of this amphitheater which Mr, Sutro offers to the commission. If the Affiliated Colleges were located there they could enjoy a magnificent view of the park and the City and be seen in turn from almosé any point in the City where high hills did not intervene. Mr. Sutro’s library would be situated on the adjoining balf of this twenty-six-acre tract he has been holding so long in reserve for it. The commission will probably get to- fether on Monday, but it is very doubtful f a final decision can be reached. Charles Cole said yesterday afternoon: There is such a diversity of opinion that it is Eretty hard to say when the commission will e able to make up its mird. For my part I think Mr. Sutro has made a noble lngm erous offer and that we ought to take a« vantage of it. That is very valuable proper! 24 and in ten years the City will all be built up with fine residences around there. 1 do not think the Potrero-avenue location is a good one for & State institution which we are building not only for the present, but for all time. Iiistrue thatits nearness to the City and County Hospital is a strong_reason in its favor, and we could get a great deal of clinical material in that neighborhood which would not be so easily obtainable at the Sutro site, and, besides all that, it is much easier of access and is not so very far from the new City Hall. But this argument, in my mind, is not enough. It is strictly utilitarian and does not take the possibilities of the future into consideration. Now mr reasons for preferring the Sutro site contemplate the esthetic side of things as well as the utilitarian, they speculate somewnat upon the future. To my way of looking at it, the park and the peculiar iopography of the ground are great advantages—they appeal to the sense of the beautiful; an think it would be much better for the public in general if the sense of tne beautiful were more heeded in the location and construction of public institutions, for the ocular sense is perhaps the most influential in determining the character of any people. As to the speculative, consiaer the kind of pro erty that is out there; the tendency to bugld fine residences and pretty villas around the ark and toward the ocean; the prospect of its eing all puilt up in, say, about ten years, and the fact that we get & very large amount of land, affording us plenty of room. Concerning the City and County Hospital there seems to be a constant desire to Elve that institution removed, and every year cr so a movement is started having thatend in view. 1, myself, am firmly opposed to its removal. 1 was one of the commission that located these eleemosynary institutions and_the park, and I chose the particular site the hospital now oc- cupies for the reason that I considered it the very best, being protected from all_disagreable winds and fogs. But it is just possible that the hospital m‘i t be removed,and if it was, it would probably go to the Almshouse. Dr. Cole said he had been East some time ago making a study of medical col- leges and that class of institutions gener- ally, and, as a result of his observations, he’ would suggest the_ lplltting of all four colleges into one building. Each would occup{ a distinctive and separate portion of it, however, so that when, in course of time, the capacity of the building became too small for the number of students, an- other building could be put up, and o on until, ultimately, the original purpose of four bmlamiu would be carried out, each sufficiently large to meet all future de- mands. By such a method, he thought. both the present and the future couls most economically provided for. Speaking of the advantage of having the Sutro library close at hand Dr. Cole re- marked that a member of the commission had asked the Mayor if the library would be endowed. “This will endow it,”” was Mr. Sutro’s answer, as his hand swept over all the property on the map north of the library and colleges sites and extending to Carl and T streets. That is about $250,000 worth of property, as Dr. Cole estimated. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. Protection of State Property on the Water Front to Be Discussed at a Conference. The Fire Commissioners at their meet- ing yesterday afternoon had before them a communication from President Colnon of the Harbor ‘Board in reference to the re- moval of the hose’company from the fire- boat Governor Markham. President Colnon expressed the regret of himself and Commissioner Cole that there should be any friction between the two boards. He pointed out the importance of rotecting the State property on the water ront and the shipping from fire, and sug- gested that a_conference between them should be held to define the limitations within which the Markham and another fireboat would be required in case of fire. The limitations defined by Harbor Cam- missioner Chadbourne were Powell street on the north and_Channel street on the south, which lejt considerable private proEerty unprotected. ¥ The hose company is now meried into Engine Company 20, stationed at Ashbury Heights, but the board delegated President Edwards and Chief Sullivan to confer with President Colnon and Harbor Commis- sioner Cole as requested. The resignation of Martin Hynes as hose- man of engine 24 was accepted. George Carew was promoted from truckman of truck 3 to fireman of chemical engine 1, and Thomas Mahon was promoted from fireman of chemical engine 1 to engineer chemical engine 4. W. A. Frodsham was appointed truckman of truck 3; William Bannan and Charles Harrison as truckmen of truck 7. HEAY DAMAGES CLAED T. K. Kase to Sue a Client for Twenty-five Thousand Dollars. He Claims That Simon Prouty, the Defendant, Had Him Arrested Without Cause. Attorney 'T. K. Kase will bring suit to- day for $25,000 damages against his former client, S8imon Prouty. The suit is the outgrowth of Attorney Kase's arrest Monday at the instigation of Prouty on the charge of embezzlement. The case came up before Police Judge Low the following morning, and was promptly dismissed, the complaining witness being sharply censured by the Judge. Kase was Simon Prouty’s attorney for about one year, having been engaged par- ticularly to look after his commercial in- terests. Prouty was interested in the firm of . R. Stevens & Co., commission mer- chants at 118 Front street. Two years ago Prouty sued Stevens for an accounting. Judge Hebbard appointed Frank Dalton receiver, and the accounts of the firm were handled by him. After he had collected all the accounts he thought possible of col- lection, he closed up his business satisfac- torily to the court and was discharged. According to_ Attorney Kase all the amounts which Dalton had been unable to settle were turned over to him (Kase) by Prouty on the representation that no one else had handled them. Kase collected several hundred dollars for which he re- ceived a 50 per cent commission. On the 12th of this month Prouty made a demand on Kase for the papers in his pos- session_relating to several suits still pend- ing. Under the law which gave an attor- ney of record & lien on all papers in con- tingent suits Kase refused to give up the apers, and his client immediately had gim arrested on a charge of embezzlement. “It was simply an attempt to intimidate me,” said Mr. Kase yesterday, ‘“‘and the Judge in administering his reprimand on the discharge of the suit ,remarked that Prouty had laid himself liable. I shall not only sue for $25,000 damages, but for attor- ney’s fees amounting to over $800.”” THE KRELINGS ATTACHED. Securing a Debt of $2000 Due the First National Bank. The First National Bank through J. R. Lynch, its cashier, has attached the Guerrero-street property of F. W. Kreling & Sons for adebtof $2000. The attach- ment is against the name of F. W. Kreling individually. The amount of the attachment, accord- ing to Mr. Lynch, was advanced to the firm by the bank, and the attachment is only for the purpose of securing the rights of the bank in the matter. It does not in- tend to press the Krelings unnecessarily, but the $2000 had to be secured, and so the attachment was levied. THROUGH LACK OF WATER. A House Burned Down While the Fire Department Looked On. The lack of water at Douglass and Twenty-ninth streets was the cause of the total loss of John Colling’ home yesterday. An alarm was turned in from box 287 at noontime and the fire patrol started for the scene. The blaze was up on the hills, and when the engines did succeed in reaching the spot all hope of saving the dwelling was gone. The loss is estimated at $1000, and the insusance is light. How the fire started is a mystery. . ENCOURAGED TO MARRY. Terms by Which Mrs. Connell’s Chil- dren Get an Estate. Mrs. Margaret Connell of 742 Twenty- second street bequeathed $24,000#0 her six children, the estate to be distributed when all the children are married or when the youngest reaches the age of 20 years. )fVill'ulm Sullivan left $5000 by will to his wife. JOHN W, MACKAY IN COURT The Millionaire as a De- fendant in the Fox Min- ing Sult. THE FISH DEPOSITION READ. ‘Testimony In the Case Glven by the Consolldated Virginla Presi- dent. John W. Mackay appeared in Judge Seawell's court yesterday in the big min- ing suit brought by Theodore Fox against him and other directorsof the Consolidated Virginia Company, but the case was con- tinued to next Thursday. This case has been pending a long time and the issues in it are somewhat similar to those in the Hale & Norcross suit, re- cently decided by the Supreme Court. Mr. Fox alleges in his complant that the directors of the Consolidated Virginia Company deprived the stockholders of large profits by a contract under which the ores were handled. This was a con- tract with Senmator John P. Jomes, who worked the upper levels an¢ caused the ores to be milled by the Comstock Milling Company, which plaintiff believes was controlled by Mackay, Flood and Jones. The plaintiff expects toobtain important testimony from D. B. Lyman, superintend- ent of the Consolidated Virginia mine, who is now in San Francisco awaiting to be | called as a witness. When Mackay was in court F}jeskerday_. the deFosition of Charles H. Fish, presi- dent of the company, was opened by order of the court. It was obtained by the plain- tiff, Attorney Sieberst conducting the ex- amination for Mr. Fox. ¥ In reference to Sieberst’s questions, President Fish denied that he became resident of the company at the request of Mackay, or that he was subservient to Mackay or Flood. He admitted, however, that he owned only one share of stock when he was elected to the presidency, and that he usually consulted with Mackay and Flood about the management of the mine, He added that he also consulted wiltdh brokers, mentioning Zadig and Hirsh- feld. 0 Mr. Fish was asked whether he remem- bered a fire that broke out in the mine in 1886. He said that he did, and that the fire burned a number of years. He be- lieved it to be smoldering yet. He 4id not remember that W. H. Patton, the former superintendent of the mine, was paid $50,000 for extinguishing the fire. He was next questioned about the contract with Senator Jones. He said in 1883 Jones agreed to pay all the expenses of working the mine and to return to the compnn‘! in bullion the proceeds of the ores and to account for 70 per cent of the assay value. The Comstock Milling Company was paid $7 a ton for milling the ores. It is believed that the trial, which has met with repeated delays, will be taken up next week. M ANTI-L@Y ORDER, Gripmen and Conductors Deal- ing In Tickets Will Be Discharged. Superintendent Vining of the Mar- ket-Street Railway Warns His Men. THE CALL's crusade against the lottery ticket sellers is spreading in all directions, and every day the unlawful trafhc receives a new discouragement. Yesterday Super- intendent Vining of the Market-street Railway issued an order, which has been posted up in the division engineers’ offices, warning all employes that instant dis- charge would follow the detection of any one buying or selling lottery tickets. Engineer Skinner of the Powell-street line states that it is the intention of the of- ficials of the company to break down the sale of lottery tickets among the railway men, and measures will be taken to dis- cover those purchasing or even having tickets in their possession. “The new anti-lottery-ticket order,” said a conductor last night, “‘means the death of the traffic among the railway people and a hard blow to the businessall along the roads. Of course the management will try to find out who of their men break the rule, and it will take much caution to do any buying or selling and not lose one’s job when the head office takes a hand.” “A large number of the gripmen and conductors have been buying tickets for years,” said another of the employes, “and in very few cases have prizes been won by them, and in these cases the sums were insignificant. Mr. Vining has neard that the practice of buying tickets has been taking a great deal of money out of the pockets of the men and heis deter- mined to break up that practice. I assure you that the order is satisfactory to us, as we are tired of the business, anyhow. This is the work of THE CALL, and -nobody but the ticket merchants find fauit with it.” HIT WITH AN IRON BAR. A Track-Cleaner Assaults the Driver ofa Car. Patrick Brady, track-cleaner in the em- ploy of the Central Railroad Company, was arrested yesterday morning on San- some and Clay streets on the charge of as- sault with a deadly weapon. Brady rode downtown on the car driven by Edward Workman. While driving OF THE SUNDAY CALL, AUGUST 18, 1895, “AMERICA,” SONG (WITH MUSIC), “BY GEORGE M. VICKERS.
