THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1895. T0 COUNTER-PLAY MILLS, His Letter Will Be Considered To-Day by the Miners’ Committee. MR. RICKETTS WILL FIGHT IT. Hardly Likely That the Legal Fight Will Be Dropped at This Stage. When the conference committee, chosen by the Miners’ Association atthe last meet- ing of its executive committee to treat with the Southern Pacific on a plan for an amicable settlement of the mineral lands ¥, comes together in .Chairman Ricketts’ office this afternoon I ent Mills’ long letter to John M.

Mr. Loftus | writes the chairman that he will be una to attend, but declares hin: any a the Department of the Interior by At- torney Ricketts. It is this adroit move of Mr. Mills which is going to give the committee some trouble. All the members are practically agreed to any fair plan of am ttlement, but the idea of abandon the legal proceed- and forfeiting the ights which ave accrued to the association through them is one which no member is very will- this dropping of the Mills virtuaily a of the asso- ing to entertain. contest is made t condition of any jo ciation and the Mr. Mills himsel the theory that the game is to follow ri ing himself to as to wh i has eeeded upon v to play his up without allow- apprebensiveness ove be, so he Thomas C.

Itisa bio_to the association to sacrifice so! »d piece on the board and be sat with merely try- ing to checkm the railroad com- pany, but Chairman Ricketts feels that if the committee f: into the trap Mr. Mills has laid, it may Jose the game right at the very stage where the association actually has it all its own way. It is quite likely that the committee will follow Mr. s"moves by some counter- playing—ths may address a com- ation to Mr. Mills proposing terms t nclude & brief e hearing of the ap- Hoke Smith, but t contemplate any abandon- of the t,and may presume the | ht of the association, or some of al members, to enter a protest road company makes a ion of lands which the two experts not passed upon.

Ricketts indicates that he is not quite | orable to the idea of a commission be- | osed of only two persons. as he | nable to see how they may be able to | come to any conclusion in the event of a | difference of opinion without some third party to cast the deciding vote.

D GIRLS IN THE PARTY. W. R. Judson’s Reminiscences ¢ of a Lurid Expedition to the East. ¥ —_ What the Defendant Says About Charles Hill’s Sult and His Intentions. When Ed Hardin of Nevada went East in 1891 to engage quarters in Denver for the Knights Templar W. R. Judson went with him. How they left a red trail across the continent and imparted a lurid glow to the sky above them has been graphically told in Tue Cari. The recordsof the trip got into the courts and then into the press. Ed Hardin is now in Nevada looking eiter his own Congressional prospects and his father’s cattle-ranch. The halcyon days of prosperity have passed for the present and like other silver men Hardin wants to remonetize. Mr. Judson is here in San Francisco bearing the brunt of litigation growing out of the lurid expedition to Denver and Chicago. As the defendant in the suit now pend- ing in the Justices’ Court Mr. Judson said in an interview yesterday: *‘In regard to this Hill suit all I have to say is that it has been made into a good story, and will be quite amusing to my friends who read it. The allusionsto ‘girls’ are false. There were none whatever in the party, which I can prove by a hundred or more people. The only feminine name mentioned is ‘Sadie,’ and that was to ‘josh’ Hill, she being wholly his friend and his affair, which we frequently chided him about. W. E. Hill wasa close friend of mine, and I have done many a favor for n and he for me. Billy was a splendid fellow—had to die, poor chap. “I have correspondence of a confidential | The nature of W. E. Hill’s, but have too much respect for myself and Hill’s memory to make a story out of & “I expect to win this case before I get through. Then I will take the money and spend it for the memory of W. E. Hill, on a good dinner likely. He liked me as well as any one. I told Charley some time ago I would do it before I would allow him to personally profit a cent by the action and will invite him to attend.” Mr. Judson explained that the name “Ray’’ signed to messages is an abbrevia- tion of his own middle name, Raymond, which was commonly used during his boyhood. Mr. Judson does not deny that he and Hardin had a happy time on the trip and spent a lot of money, but he posi- tively denies that they had any girl or girls with them. SENT TO0 THE ASYLUM. Friends of Dr. John Sims Lend Assist- ance to Have Him Committed. Dr. John M. Sims was committed to the Ukiah asylum yesterday by the Insane Commissioners. Some twenty physicians were present in the courtroom to witness hisexamination, but Mrs. Ella Harrington, his former lJandlady, was the chief witness. She simply recited a number of his erratic | actions, and several of the young physi- cian’s friends corroborated what she said. It was the unanimous opinion that it would be the best for the patient to confine | him fora time where he could have the | best treatment. Dr. Sims took his examination in a mild way and apparently acquiesced in all that was said and done. g On the recorc. it was set forth that his mental condition expressed itself in ‘‘loss of memory, difficulty in articulation, con- versation disconnected and rambling, talks of large amounts of money due to him, of great enterprises, and he has acted as if he would take his own life.” k The alleged cause of his insanity was attributed to overwork and lack of proper nourishment. Dr. Sims is a nephew of the celebrated New York surgeon, Marion Sims. He graduated high among the students of the class of '91, Toland Medical College. Right after that he entered the services of Dr. McLean as an assistant and became a demonstrator of anatomy in the Toland Medical College. : Some time ago a change was noticed in his demeanor ana appearance. His prac- tice soon afterward fell off, and finally Dr. McLean was obliged to notify him that his services were no longer required. Soon afterward he resigned his posidion at the college and moved his offices from 519 Va- lencia street to the Spreckels building on Market street. Recently he gave up his office there and has had no certain head- quarters. All the while his friends noticed that he was becoming more and more un- balanced mentally. Monday they took his case in hand and had him_contined for examination. His mother is living in Salt Lake City and two of his brothers are residents of the Hawaiian Islands. His condition has not been thoroughly in- quired into yet, so it is not definitely known whether or not he, will recover. FOR MONTGOMERY STREET A Bitumen Pavement to Be Shortly Laid on That Thoroughfare. Improvement to Be Made Between California and Market. Montgomery street, between Market and California, will soon be paved with bitu- men and the public will have the Mer- chants’ Association to thank for the im- provement. Geary and Post streets will also be paved with the same kind of material a little Jater. Long before the Merchants’ Association got rid of the street-sweeping contract, which was handled so successfully, the board of directors determined 1o improve some of the principal downtown business streets and do away with the noisy cobbles and basalt block pavements. This determination was brought about to a great extent by the experiments made while their men were sweeping the streets by hand. It was clearly demonstrated that streets paved with bitumen cost far less to keep clean than the thoroughfares which are paved with cobbles and basalt blocks, among which the dust and dirt collect in large quantities. It was further observed that much of the dirt swept from the streets works up among the cobbles and blocks from the foundations on which they rest. Thus the rock-paving is con- tinually sinking, and the foundations are being carted away in the dirt wagons, Another objection against the cobbles and pasalt hlocizs is that they permit all the moisture falling upon the street to run into the crevices where in time it breeds disease. On the bituminized streets all this moisture runs into the gutters and is washed down the sewers by the rains and street-sprinklers. These observations showed the necessity for better pavements, and as a result it was determined that a movement to this end should be made. After Kearny street from Market to California was paved with bitumen the merchants began to consider what streets should be improved next, and Montgom- ery, Geary and Post were selected. On Geary the street will be vaved to Powell and on Post to Stockton, as the block from Stockton to Powell has been paved. Secretary Ward for weeks has worked hard to induce the property-owners on Montgomery street to consent to making the change. Yesterday he said that he had obtained the signatures for all but 100 feet, and that he was sure of getting every name before to-day. The larger owners are: D. O. Mills, the Donahue estate, Russ, Flood & Mackay, J. G. Fair estate, Masonic Hall Association, Union Trust Company and the California Safe Deposit Company. All of these and nearly every one of the smaller property-owners have joined hands for the improvement. A ‘committee from the Merchants’ Asso- ciation consisting of President Dohrmann, Baldwin and Taylor called upon H. E. Huntington and asked that the railroad company assist in the work by paving be- tween the rails of the streetcar tracks wherever the antiquated two-horse street- cars are still running. Mr. Huntington stated that he would call the matter to the attention of the board of directors. It has been stated that the raiiroad people are de- sirous of running electric-cars along Mont- gomery street as on Kearny. Whether or not this desire will cut any figure in their deliberations upon the question of doing their share of the paving remains to be seen.’ At any rate the movement has pro- gressed so far that Montgomery street will soon be covered with a noiseless pavement. — . McLEAN'S DIVOROE SUIT. A Private Detective Gives Evidence for the Husband. There were no new developments yes- terday in the divorce suit of Anthony Mc- Lean against Carrie McLean, the only wit- nesses called by the plaintiff going over the story told by the husband. Mr. McLean on cross-examination stated hat Rev. George Watt, the corespondent, :u ow workin as 8 hotel clerk, 3 John R. McLean, a brother of the plain- tiff, and John H. Bahrs gave some corrob- orative testimony, and Charles W. Dow- ling, who had been enlglged by McLean as a private detective, told of following Mrs. McLean about the City for weeks. Mrs. McLean, Dowi mf said, went out six days in a week, usually from 2:20 to 6 o'clock. Sometimes she went across the bay at 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning and stayed until 6 or 7 o’clock. TROUT BY THE MILLION, A Grand Record Made This Season by the State Fish Commission. FRY FOR NUMEROUS STREAMS. The Cutthroat Varlety Is Belng Planted From Siskiyou to San Diego. All records were completely over- shadowed by the State Fish Commission in the matter of hatching and planting cutthroat or Tahoe trout (Salmo Mykiss) this season. The work of distribution is not completed, and will not be until about the 10th of September, although it was begun June 18. Since the work of planting the streams of California began in 1871 up to and in- cluding 1894 there have been distributed 6,141,000 fry of the rainbow trout, 6,250,950 of the cutthroat variety and 1.228,000 of what are known as Eastern brook trout. This season there have been hatched at the Tahoe and Sisson hatcheries, both of which have only been in operation seven years, the enormous number of 4,275,000 i % 7.[“)5 remain awake and active for seventy con- secutive hours. g As the result of what the commission bas already accomplished, a marked im- provement has been noted in fishing in all sections of the State to which they have given their attention. MANUFAOTURERS' ASSOCIATION. Its Position: Upon the Question of a Marble Ferry Depot. A short meeting of the board of directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association was held last evening and Secretary Mead made a report relating to the proposition to construct the new ferry depot of marble. John C. Pelton sent a Jettér to the association, urging its indorse- ment of building the face of the depot of marble. To this a number of members objected upon the ground thae_ they are dealers in brick, stone and iron, and wanted a chance to dispose of some of their goods and make bids for some of the contracts. In his report Mr. Mead says: To present this matter to the Board of Harbor Commissioners now would be in the nature of urging one California product against another, a step which, of course, this association can- not take. If the Board of Harbor Commission- ers should decide to construct said ferry depot of marble it will then become the duty ot our association to insist upon the use of California marble exclusively. In the meantime I would Tot feel justified, on behalf of this association, in saying ‘anything or taking any action toward inducing the Board of Harbor Com- missioners to erect said building of any par- ticular material, or according to any particu- lar method or design. The secretary’s report was approved. Some time ago a number of prominent business men connected with the State Board of Trade, San Francisco Fruit Ex- change, Academy of Sciences, Half-million CUTTHROAT OR TAHOE TROUT (SALMO MYKISS,) [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] cutthroat trout, and of this number all but 200,000 have been or will be planted in the streams of California. The 200,000 that have left the State were presented to the United States Fish Com- mission as acomplimentto that body, and were used to stock the streams of Wyo- ming and South Dakota. Of the 4,075,000 fry remaining for distri- bution in this State there were planted in Mendocino County, in the streams tributary to Russian River, 125,000; 1n So- noma County, both forks of Austin Creek, Sonoma Creek, Dry Creek, Russian River, 100,000; Marin County, Paper-mill and Lagunitas creeks, 25,000, and 25,000 more are to be planted in the streams of this county; Lake County, Clear and Blue lakes, 25,000, and 25,000 more to be planted; Napa County, Recter and Napa rivers, 50,000; San Mateo, San Gregorio Creek, 25,000; Santa Clara, Uvas, Llagas and other creeks, 50,000, and 50,000 more to be planted; Fresno, San Joa- quin and Kings riversand their tributaries, 150,000; Tulare, Tule and Kings rivers, 50, 000; Kern, Kern River, 50,000; Los Angeles, Santa Ana and San Gabriel rivers, 100,000; San Bernardino, Santa_Ana River, 50,000; San Diego, San Ysabel River, 50,000; River- side, Elsinore River, ; Nevada, Donner Luke and Truckee River, 350,000; Sierra, Independence and Webber Lake, 250,000,the last 25,000 having been planted yesterday; Placer, American River and tributaries, 100,000; Tehama, Antelope Creek, 25,000; Colusa, Stoney Creek, 25,000; Siskiyou, McCloud River and Butte Creek, 25,000, and 25,000 more to be planted; Lake Tahoe, 1,500,000; Sacramento River and tributa- Ties, 150,000, and 150,000 more to be lanted; Yosemite National Park, Merced F{irer and tributaries, 500,000. In the matter of replenishing the streams with a most desirable game and food fish science comes to the aid of na- ture from the time that the fish are ripe until the fry have reached a size of from 14 to 2 inches, A description of how these 4,000,000 odd trout were ob- tained and cared for until distributed will give a comprehensive idea of the general process of artificial piscatorial propagation. All the eggs from which these fish were hatched were obtained from Lake Tahoe. The parent fish were caught at the mouths of Taylor and Blackwood creeks, seines being used at the former and traps at the latter. The work of capturing them began on the 15th of April and continued until the 20th of June, the period during which the trout leave the lake to run up the creeks to spawn. As the fish are caught the males and females are separated and placed in differ- ent tanks, which are fastened alongside the spawning scow. The ripe females are stripped of their eggs by a light pressure along their sides, and the males are simi- larly operated upon for the expul- sion of their milts. The fertilization of the eggs is then accomplished by mix- ing the eggs and milts in a pan containing no water. While in the ordinary course of nature but5 percent of the eggs are fertilized, by the artificial method the re- markable result is obtained of 98 per cent of the eggs being made productive. Should a fish prove to be unripe it is put into a special tank and operated upon until the desired result is obtained. Des- pite the handling that the parent fish are thus made to undergo the loss is but one- half per cent of the total capture. All the eggs as rapidly as they are fer- tilized are removed to the hatchery at Tahoe City, where they are placed in wire baskets,\the meshes of which are just too small to allow the eggs to drop through into the troughs of running water in which the baskets are submerged. But as soon as the outer she%l of the egg breaks, which occurs in from fifty to sixty days, according to the tem- perature of the water, the embryo fish, which are now known as alveus, drop into the trough. Before the eggs break at all two small black specks—which ultimately become the eyes—appear, and the eggs are then said to be ‘“‘eyed.” They remain alveus from ten to fifteen days, according to the temperature and then begin to swim. At this stage the term fry is properly applied to them. The fry do not begin to feed until they are eight days old. They are at first given sweet curds and later this food is alternated with raw liver and meat finely ground. At first they show great timidity when the food is placed in the water, but they soon get.to learn that any foreign substance placed in their home is for them to feed upon, and they then display a voracious appetite. Distribution ble(fi“ after the fry are about fifteen days o Of the 4,275,000 eggs originally placed in the Tahoe hatchery 2,500,000 were shipped to the Sisson hawchery after they had be- come eyed. The greatest care is exercised in the transportation of the partly devel- oped eggu, specially designed cases, meas- uring two feet each way, being used. In these eggs have been successfully shipped to France and to Australia. Each case holds about 120,000 eggs. The fry are transported in twenty-gallon cans, each holding from 5000 to 7000 fish, and during transportation require the con- stant care of an attendant. whose duty it is to aerate the water by raising a dipperful from each can every seven minuies and allowing it to flow back into the can. In making the trip from Sisson to Fosters, in Ban County, R. W. Requa, the shipper, was forced to go without sleep for sixty hours in order to properlr ferlorm his duties and ensure the arrival of his_fish in- condition. On one occasion W. H. Shelby (now superintendent of the Sisson hatch- ery), in taking a consignment of fry to San Bernardino County, was :m.i to Club and others requested of Miss Margaret Touchard, manager of the Woman's Ex- change, that she undertake the arrange- ment of a banquet to be entirely of Cali- fornia products. The lady went to work and is now well on the road to success, so far as supplying the gathering of Califor- nia products for the banquet is concerned. She decided that the event shall be held in the California Hotel on the evening of September 27. st evening Miss Touchard requested the indorsement of her undertaking by the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation. The secretary and chairman stated that the movement is entirely in the line of the objects of the association, which should foster all movements that encourage the consumption of California products, The lady’s request was granted. The California Dairy Association sent a letter requesting that a representative of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association be sent to the dairymen’s annual conven- tion, which will be held in San Francisco on September 11, 12 and 13, and* discuss with the dairymen the subject of protect- ing our home market froin Eastern im- ports of dairy products. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee to represent the association at the convention. CENTENNIAL OF A SAINT. The Seven Hundredth Anni- versary of St. Anthony Is Celebrated. Thousands of Worshlipers Partici- pated in the Devotions at St. Boniface’s. The celebration of the seven hundredth anniversary of the birth of St. Anthony closed last night in St. Boniface Church on Golden Gate avenue after three days of special devotion and solemn services. As this saint was a Franciscan his feast day once a year has for centuries been ob- served with pious customs in the churches of that order. The German Catholic Church of 8t. Boniface being under the care of Franciscan fathers the anniversary of Anthony of Padua was commemorated with more than ordinary fervor. One hundred years ago in California it was remembered by the Franciscan padres of the missions with much the same ceremo- nials and devotions. Though the feast fell on August 15 its celebration was postponed on account of a mission in_the church at that time. Sun- day morning at 9 o'clock the ceremony began with a high mass. The altars were beautifully decorated and everything was done to mark the solemnity of the event. In the evening solemn vespers were sung, and, besides special devotion to the saint, there was benediction of the blessed sacru- ment and a grocession round the church. During the day thousands visited the church in honor of the saint. On Monday and Tuesday similar services were held and at each one was a congrega- tion that crowded the building to the doors. Sermons were delivered on St. An- thony morning and evening, closing last night with a discourse by Father Maxi- milian, superior of the order in California, on the faith, hope and charity of the saint. The evening services concluded with benediction aud a procession in which a large number of little girls all dressed in white participated. So large was the attendance that many people una- ble to gain admittance were compelled to return home. There are not many saints in the Cath- olic church who have enjoyed such a gen- eral veneration of the people as St. An- thony of Padua. He was born in Lisbon, Angust 15, 1195, thirteen years after the birth of St. Francis of Assisi. He entered the Augustinian order, but left it to join the Franciscans in 1221. St. Anthony is renowned as a preacher of the Gospel. "He traveled over Southern Europe. Many miracles are ascribed to him during his career as a preacher and monk. Padua was the principal seat of his labors, and it was there that he died, June 13,1231, at the age of 36 years, e was canonized the following year by Pope Gregory IX. . An Old Man Disappears. The relatives of Andrew Hazzard are anx- ious about his welfare and fear some mishap has befallen him. Heis a bachelor, 60 years of age. Monday he left his home at the corner of Folsom and Sixth streets withoutsaying anything to his friends as to where he was oing. He has failed to return. Hazzard is feet 6 inches tall, is very bald, and when he left home wore a slate-colored suit of clothes. Hais well to do, but the nephew says he does not believe he had any great amount of money with him when he went away, and therefore does not fear foul play. o e e Grand Army Excursions. The Southern Pacific Company has made all arrangements for special excursion trainsto the Grand Army National encampment at Louisville, Ky. Yestorday routes were chosen which give the Veterans the privilege of going either by the Central Pacific or Bouthern Pa- cific to 8t. Louis, from which city a direct run will be made to Louisville. 0 return fare ‘was fixed at $73. —————————— Barbers to Close Early. The Barbers’ Association at their meeting last night agitated the closing of all barber- shops at 8 o'clock P. M.exceptSaturday. A committee of ten was appointed to canvass all shops in the City and prevail on them to close 8t 8 o’clock on and after October 1. MUST- FIX THE SEWERS, Richmond District Overhauled by the Board of Health. PROMPT ACTION IS CALLED FOR. The Sewer of the Public School Found In a Dreadful Condition. Notices Served. The members of the Board of Health met yesterday to express a strong protest against the condition of the sewers in the Richmond District. Their attention was called to the matter last week by several improvement clubs organized in that local- ity. Monday they went out to examine the district to see if it was as bad ae had been represented in the petitions. They found several places so unhealthy and foul that they resolved to call a special meeting next day and take immediate action to correct the evils. When the members met yesterday they knew exactly what was wanted and went straight to the meat of the business. The first step was to relieve the Rich- mond District public school. There are over 300 pupils there and their health is daily threatened by the dreadful condition of the sewer there. Ithasnooutlet. After a short discussion Secretary Edward God- chaux was ordered to draft the following letter to the Board of Education: At a special meeting of the Board of Health held this day the secretary was instructed to communicate to you the desire of the members of our board to meet a committee of your hon- orable body to devise ways and means to abate avery grave and dangerous nuisance in the Richmond schoolhouse on First avenue, north of Point Lobos road. 1 trust you will honor me with a prompt and favorable reply. The Board of Education meets this even- ing, and it is expected thata committee will be appointed to co-operate with the Board of Health in removing the existing evil as soon as possible. s The Fifth-avenue sewer complained of by the Richmond Improvement Club was found worse than represented. At its meeting the board called in seyeral depu- ties atfached to the Street Department with a view of finding out the quickest and best way of fixing up the sewer. After hearing several opinions the board sent the following notification to Superin- tendent of Streets Ashworth. At 8 meeting of the Board of Health held this day the secretary was instructed to notify the Superintendent of Streets of the nuisance existing at the corner of Fifth avenue and Clement street, Richmond District, caused by defective sewerage. Before declaring the same a public nuisance the board desires your immediate investigation and report thereon. Kindly inform me when {ou are ready to in- terview the Board of Health in relation to the same. The members believe that by early next week the work will be well under way to relieve the Richmond District of its pres- ent distress in sewers. It is the intention of the board mnot to rest here, but to thoroughly investigate all cases of reported defective sewers and to have them promptly repaired. In the present case the board would have con- demned the places at once, but in that event the cost would have fallen on the property-owners. By notifying the proper officials, as has been done, it will take a little longer to get the repairs done, but the cost will fall on the City. MOVES OF THE COMBINE. It Leases a Block of Land Near the Park—Half-Hour Service Prob- ably To-Day. The Market-street Railway Company is evidently contemplating a new pleasure ground near the park. It has secured possession of the block bounded by Haight, ‘Waller, Cole and Clayton streets. A few days ago V. C. Baird and Ebenezer Scott, trustees of the estate of John H. Baird, leased the block to the Paul Bovnton Chute Company for six vears at §2 per annum. Next day the lease was assigned by the Boynton Company to the Market- street Railway Company. Superintendent Vining will probably put a half-hour service on the Clayton-street electric branch to-day, at least such was the intention yesterday. The service will be given only during the interval between 6and 9 A. M. and that between 5:30 and 11:30 p. M., however. The South Side residents will hold their gecond meeting to-night at F. W. M. Lange’s residence, 137 Carl street, and then the report of the committee chosen to con- fer with Mr. Vining will be received and acted upon. Mr. Lange was of the opinion yesterday afternoon that the property-owners of that neighborhood would decide to fight the Market-street Railway Company in the courts. s = Ready to Fight for Rates. J. C. Btubbs, third vice-president of the Southern Pacific Company, returned Monday from St. Louis, where he had attended a meet- ingof the Southwestern Traflic Association. He spent yesterday with General Freight Agent Smurr, discussing freight tariffs and other matters hnvin% an important bearing on rates, 8o as to be wel greplmd for the Railroad Commission to-day,when there will be & mighty struggle if the Commissioners attempt to keep their pledges by reducing rates on freightin California. — e e No License Was Issued.
