SAILORS WIN A WAGE FIGHT. Men Now Get the Usual Rate, and the Members of the Union Are Jubllant. The Valley Railroad is being ramtlily pushed ahead. New freight cars are being constructed and several engines are now on the ground. Coal for the latter is re- quired and in consequence 650 tons of the best Newcastle (Australia) asticle has been purchased. The black diamonds are now being transferred from the British ship Lismore to the barge Ajax, and next Tues- day the steamer Leader will tow the con- signment to the railread company’s bngk- ers, and then the engines will be supplied at first hand instead of from the jobbers. The Shipowners’ Association has met with its first defeat. Last week it sought to cut the rate on lumber vessels from $30 to $25, and on colliers from $25 to $2250 a month. The members of tMe Seamen's Union of the Pacific did not make any open protest, but went to work quietly. Union mien were notified not to ship at the reduced rates and in consequence the ves- sels bélonging to the assm:iali%l have been unable to obtain crews. The schooner Jennie Wand was tied up for several days and her skipper finally succeeded in getting away by hiring men from the British ship Lismore that has just reached port. The captain of the ship was only too glad to pay them off, and the owners of the schooner were delighted to get them. 3 The schooner Gotama also succeeded in | getting men at the lower rate, but only after great difficulty. It was after that the powners gave in. Many of them have nable charters, and every day their vessels were tied up meant & heavy pen- In the circumstances they decided to give up the fight for the time being and so notified the secretary of the association. { The Sailors’ Union is naturally jubilant over the victory, and Secretary Furuseth | says he is confident of winning out. the | next time it comes to a struggle. Captain Olsen of the Jennie Wand is going on a visit o his birthplacein Nor- way. He has been master of the schooner almost from the time she waslaunched and | never met with an accident. He is a great favoriteon the front, and his many friends will:be glad to welcome him on his return. Reinsurance on the British ship Lord | Spencer, now out 179 days from San Fran- cisco for Queenstown, has advanced to 63 | per cent. She is listed by Lloyds as “mss- i ing,” but as she was very foul when leav- ing this port many people think she will | turn up all right. The Lord Spencer came here by way of Table Bay and Newcastle, | N.S.W. She was not chartered at that time and lay at anchor off Goat Island for four months before an offer was made to .| her owners. 1t took her eighty-eight days to come here from Newcastle, and Captain Leahy wanted to dock her very badly be- fore he began loading. His owners refused remarked that it would take him at least 200 days to make the trip to Queenstown. The Shipowners ana Merchants' Tow- | boat Company’s tug Rescue is to be en- { tirely rebuilt. Her boilers have been | taken out and her machinery is to be | thoroughly overbauled. In order to se- | cure the necessary facilities the tuz was | removed to Folsom-street whar! and tuere e boilers were taken out. When the re- pairs are all completed Captain Grey says she will be one of the finest vessels of her class in the bay. The steamer Pomona arrived from Eureka yesterday and among her pas- sengers was Captain Bruce of the Fire- men’s Fund Insurance Company. He went up the coast to inspect the wreck of the steamer Humboldt and has returned satisfied that she will be a total loss. The hull has broken in two and one portion is anchored on the rocks by the machinery. Wreckers are on the beach in force, but Captain Bruce says they are getting nothing, as all the merchandise and wreckage is dashed to pieces on the rocks before it reaches land. The remains of the old-time steamer will be sold next Wednesday at the Merchants’ Exchange at 1:30 p. M, The sealing schooner Bonanza arrived from the Arctic yesterday afternoon, and brought the first good news that owners have received during the season. Captain George Wester reports having taken 1215 skins, which is almost the best catch of the year. The scnooner J. Eppinger is high hook, with 1372 skins, but the men on tgc Bonanza do not begrudge ber the extra 160 seals. The Bonanza %efl the whaling- tender Jeanie in Unalaska. All the news 10( the fleet was brought down on the Lakme. The Jeanie had a very narrow es- cape from being crushed in the ice. Ac- cording to Captain Wester, she was nipped in the same floe that crushed the Triton, and had a very narrow escape. Labor day will be celebrated on the water front to-morrow, and all the wharves | will be closed. No business of any kind | will be transacted, except in the matter of duty-paid goods.

McAvoy & Gal- lagher, the County undertakers, tell of the circumstances of the burial of the little Mexican girl, Marie Hernandez, from the Home of the District Nurses, 930 Sutter street, Thursday, is quite different from that Mrs. Mary Ryan, Bister of Mrs, A. E. zanik, is credited as telling. According to a published account prep- arations were made at St. Mary’s Cathedral for the child’s funeral, but Mrs. Ryan informed Father Byrne his acolytes that the undertakers had refused to bring the dead child to the church and there- fore the services could not go on. But Mr. MecAvoy tells the following: The bells that were belng tolled were for a mass for the Rev. Thomas Kirby, who was belng buried that ‘morning from 'st. Mary's Cathedral, and not for the Jittle Mexican girs, as stated, S0 that you can see that the artcle in the Examiner starts out with a falsehood. The woman says she waited for us. On the contrary, she gave me the wrong address. I ook the number down three times, as she tele- phoned, and the number she gave me was 9503 Sutter street. We sent the dead wagon 1o that place according to that direction, aud got into trouble because the people living at that num- ber were very angry over having a dead wagon in front of their place. Our men, of course, had to return, and it was necessary for us to wait until we got the right number. ‘As 5001 &5 We were called up again and prop: erly informed that we were wanted at 9. Buiter street we sent our men with the wagon. "Then the woman would not let us have the body until next morning, so that was two trips for nothing. Imightadd that the woman who zeuphansgw e gave me some revoiting in- structions as to what to do with the remeins, but I replied that it would not be necessary to follow them, s I would send a Jarge coffin. Now, all I have to say is this: These ladies evidently wanted us to give the child a funeral from the cathedral, which would cost about $50, at our own expense. By the terms of our contract and bonds we are only allowed to take & corpse irom the piace of death to the ceme- tery, and for that, in¢cluding the interment, we recelve $4 79, which just about pays the wages of our men. We must either make the funeral a m“mfl charge or it must be paid for from some other source. Mrs. Ryan says her sister, Mrs. Dooley: Szanik, o&mdtopa all the extra expenses, Now if they wanted to make a funeral of it, outside of any county business, does it not look to allow the expense, and then the skipper | from the ships, but otherwise no business | sbsurd to say that we would refuse such a funeral at -% yu), and take instead a county burial at $4 We did everything we could, within reason, to be accommodating. Mr, Gallagher offered to pay the price of a ticket for the remains on the train out of his own pocket, and after the clergy of St. Mary’s marked the death certifi- cate *'poor,” I went myself to Calvary Ceme- tery and got @ burial permit in the Holy Cross Cemetery. I think we did all we could under the circumstances. The Bisters of the Holy Family paid for the ticket and would not per- mit Mr. Gallagher to do so. This statement was corroborated by Mr. Gallagher, who added that Mrs. Szanik had voiced a wish that Messrs. McAvoy & Gallagher should get no better funerals when they died. WILL RECEIVE TAXES. Tax Collector Block Will Pay No At- tention to the Mandamus Suit, Tax Colletor Block expects to go about the collection of taxes next Tuesday morn- ing just as if there was no legel dispute over the $225 tax levy. He proposes to accept all the money offered and let the courts and lawyers discuss the tangled phases of the question. Fifty extra clerks will be put to work next Tuesday morning to meet the ex- pected rush of taxvayers. It is generally thought that the mandamus proceedings 1nstituted in the Supreme Court will not interfere with the work. Any taxpayer that pays his money is safe, for he has his receipt to show for it, and will be able to get it back should the levy be declared unlawful. Besides Treas- urer Widber has practically given notice that he will not pay out any ogthe money collected till the Supreme Court has passed on the validity of the levy. He does not propose risking in any way the securities of his bondsmen. BALE WILL INESTIGHTE Dr. Mansfield Received $50 From the Friends of a Sick Convict. His Sympathles Getthe San Quentin Physiclan Into a Peck of Troubls. Warden Hale of San Quentin Prison ar- rived in town yesterday afternoon. He has heard of a peculiar transaction in which Dr. J. Le Roy Manstield. the prison physician, is implicated, and proposes to probe the matter to the bottom, The case briefly stated is as follows: There is in the prison a convict named Theodore Donguli, a Greek, who was sent up from Vallejo several years ago for mur- der in the second degree. He was a strong healthy man when 1incarcerated, but con- tracted consumption, and has been for several months under the doctor’s care in the prison hospital. His friends are mak- ing a strong effort to have him pardoned. Three weeks ago two of Donguli’s friends visited him at the prison, and later, at his suggestion, Dr. Mansfield met them out- side the prison grounds. They requested him to writé a letter to Judge Buckles, who sentenced Donguli, stating that the convict would doubtless die before the ex- piration of his sentence if confined that long, but might recover if released. The doctor suggested that a letter of in- quiry from the Judge would be the proper method of procedure, and the friends agreed to secure it. Before the three parted Dr. Mansfield re- ceived $50 in gold from the convict’s friends. This, he says, wasto be used for the pur- chase of delicacies for the sick man, but the Lsnh_\'s:ciam did not deposit it with the Warden to the convict’s credit, nor did he mention the fact of receiving it to the sick man. No portion of the amount has been used so far for the purchase of delicacies. Dr. Mansfield admits that his action was peculiar and looks ‘‘crooked,” but claims that he is guiltless of any wrong act or in- tention, and thatat most his action was the result of a serious errorin judgment caused by his sympathy for the sick man. ‘Warden Hale looked pale and worried as he stepped from the train: yesterday after- noonand his usual happy smile was want- ing. He refused, however, to express any opinion as to the merits of the case. ““This matter has come on me like a claj of thunder out of a clear sky,” he said, *‘and I don’t know what_to think of it. Investigate? Of course 1 shall investigate it. Ishall probe it to the bottom. My trip this afternoon has, however, no con- nection with the matter. One of the con- vict’s friends lives in Vallejo and the | otber in Benicia, and I coutd not investi- gate the matter here anyway.” Warden Hale's administration has been heretofore free from any suspicion of wrongdoing and the present case naturall worries him not a litile. The matter wifl | be brought to the attention of the Board of | Prison irectors at its meeting next Satar- ay. ALGER DOWN WITH COLD Forced to Disappoint the Mem- bers of the Union League Club. It Prevented Him From Belng Thelr Guest at the Club’s Monthly Dinner. It was expected that the regular monthly dinner of the Union League Club last night would be honored by the presence of Gen- eral Russell A. Alger, but a cold severe enough to prompt his physician to order him not to leave his room forced him to disappoint the club, which had extended him a cordial invitation to partake of its hospitality. As ouilined the occasion was to have been made notable and interesting by ad- dresses from General Alger and some of the ablest post-prandial speakers of the organizations, but in deference to the ill- ness of the expected guest ail formality was dispensed with and the affair assumed the ordinary informal though highly en- joyable features of the regular dinners of the cinb. Covers were laid for about forty, and during the repast orchestral music waited on good digestion. Among those present were: T. B. MacFarlane, General 8. W. Backus, Colonel George Stone, John Dolbeer, Jud Haynes, General John McComb, George £ Pippy, M. C, Cooney, Judge Carpenter of Los Angeles, H. 8 Herrick, Harry Hook, James L. Crittenden, Frank A. Vale, Lieutenant J. M. Neall, U. 8. A., Arthur Spear, J. S. Wirtner, H. §. Stanley, 1. Richard Freud, Mr.Carmany, G.M. Jennings, O. A. Hale, C. A. Fuller, Marshall ll?a.le J. M. Clark, J. C. McDoodle, General R. A. riedrich, s Fell From a Building. A carpenter named John McClelland, of 365 Jessie street, fell trom the second story of a nearly finished building yesterday afternoon at 607 Baker street, upon which he was work- ing at tne time, and broke his neck. Fred Canham of 236 Bhotwell street, who was also at work there, saw him after he fell, but no one could tell how the mccident happened. Contractor R.S. Willlams is putting up the building. Deceased leaves two daughters, He was a native of Canada and 52 years old. ————— Coroner’s Inquests. The Coroner held an inquest yesterday in the case of J. Du Musch, the young German who was found asphyxiated on September 29 in a room at 514 Bush street. A verdict of suicide was returned. Accidental death was the ver- dict in the case of Thomas Henderson, who shot himself while hunting on September 28 ;&d‘ d subsequently died at Receiving Hos- A G00D CITIZEN.AT REST, The Remains of the Late Maurice Dore Interred at Laurel Hill. BRILLIANT RECORD OF HONOR. His Life Was One of Energy and Unostentatious Charity — He Was Beloved of All. The beantiful ana impressive Episcopal funeral service was held at Grace Church yesterday afternoon over the remains of the late Maurice Dore. The church was filled with the friends of the veteran real- estate man and honored citizen. The casket was vlaced in the chancel and surrounded with numerous and beau- tiful floral tributes. One of the most mag- nificent was a shaft of white lilies and tube roses, standing nearly six feet high, and around which the word *‘Honor” was lettered with violets. A male quartet sang as an opening ode Felton’s “Burial Anthem” and afterward “Nearer, My God, to Theg.” The ritual was delivered by Rev. Dr. Foute, rector of the church, and the ser- vices were closed by the choir singing the beautiful anthem ‘“*Abide With Me.” The remains were interred at Laurel Hill Ceme- tery in the family vault. The honorary Maurice Dore, the Honest Man. [From a photograph.] Balloenrers were: Louis A. Garnett, John . Earle, Judge J. V. Coffey, R. H. Lloyd, William M. O’Brien and W. C. Ralston. Maurice Dore was born in 1820 at Limer- ick, Ireland, and came to California in 1849. He chose San Francisco for his resi- dence, and in 1868 or 1869 began business in real estate with General H. H. Cobb as his partner. The house handled all the vast tracts of land and large sales of that time. For anumber of years he was the confi- dential adviser of W. C. Ralston. He was the actuary of the Montgomery Real Estate Corporation, owning all the properties from Market to Howard street, and for many years Mr. Dore had the entire man- agement. He was noted for peing one of the coolest-headed of men in business; nothing ever dismayed or excited him. Some months before the failure of the Bank of California, at the request of Mr. Ralston, he had drawn large drafts for the various corporations for which he was act- ing and negotiated large sumsof money for the benefit of the bank. At the time of the bank’s failure he had outstanding hundreds of thousands of aollars of paper upon which money had bgen raised and used by the bank to sus- tain its credit. Immediately after the fail- ure it was suggested to him that he£hould make an assignment of all his property so that something could be saved for him by the gradual settiement of this paper. He, however, understood his liability to be secondary to the liability of the directors of the bank and declined to do it, and he informed one of the prominent personages that there would be a large number of es- tates which would have to be exhaustes before his was called on, and he advised that the directors rescind the resolution to place the bank 1n bankruptcy and to ke some provision for paying its liabilities and restoring its business. _During the exciting incidents at that time he was cool and collected, although knowing that the large fortune he then possessed was at stake. The true story of his having $400,000 be- longing to Mr. Ralston in his name, and which attests his unswerving integrity and honor, is this: He and Mr. Ralston had been equally interested in very large speculations and investments in California land, and parti- cularly in what was known as the “Sutter County land,” on which large sums of money had been expended in acquiring and reclaiming. He had made large ad- vances to, the account, and it was unset- tled at the time of Mr. Raiston’s sudden death. The amount due Mr. Dore was about $250,000. He was advised that legally he had the lawful right to hold all the prop- erty and could not be compelied to sur- render it until a settlement of the accounts was made. He replied that.while that might be the legal position in which he stood, he had obtained the title to the property for Mr. Ralston between them, and that he would consider it dishonerable to hold it, and that he should fulfill the trust reposed in him by informing Mr. Sharon to whom :{slslon had conveyed all his property in rust. He was the principal owner of the Guadaloupe quicksilver mines in Santa Clara Coumg, and had other larze posses- sions in the Btate. . Owing to the decline in the price of ?uickmver the investment proved an un- ortunate one and from being the owner of a fortune estimated at $2,000,000 a few years after the Bank of California failure, he became financially embarrassed. He was undismayed by his adverses, and went to work with an _energy possessed by few men to retrieve his losses. He met with much encouragement. The late W. 8. O'Brien and J. C. Flood, the bonanza king, had great confidence in his accurac; of judgment and his great integrity, ani he received a hearty support from them and others, so that at the time of his death he was enabled to leave a reasonable competency to his daughters. In an interview withJoseph M. Nougues, the attorney and lezal adviser of Mr. Dore, he said: - In my judgment Mr. Dore was a very remark- able mai. He had & perfect aversion to any- thing like display. He was universally cour- teous in his intercourse with every one. He never stooped to take an advantage. He never hoarded money, and while he never allowed his name to display itself in the lists of osten- tatious charity, when he was able he never refused aid to a deserving person. Among many of his old acquaintances of the early days who had met with reverses he assisted them from iime to time, and was always Jlcased at boing sble to lighten their burdens. ¢ was exact in all his dealings, and while he was not a communicant of any church, his life was that of a most perfect Christian. He glveadl: t:‘c oldlele: m%:. Ki; ndd.“h ‘was_em- matic fe. He ex] 88 as an infant going to sleep. . Pesenlly Mr. Dore leaves two daughters—Miss Nellie Dore and Miss Charlotte Dore—and 5 grandchild, the son of the late Charles ore. ‘A New Theater. The old Howard-street Theater is recelving a thorough refitting, and in a few days, resplend- ent in white and gold, and blazoned as the “People’s Theater,” it will 100k very little like the house in which the Moroscos formerly made 50 much money.

He isgoing to devote his house to melodrama, but wilt have the best obtainable vaudeville stars do their turns between acts instead of devoting the time to music. This will give the audience a varied and continuous P-er!ormlnce from the opening overture to the 11 of the curtain.

Mr. Shehadi A, Shehadi at the Me- chanics® Library. Mr. Shehadi A. Shehadi, assisted by a native musician of Syria, delivered an in- teresting and instructive lecture on Syria in the Mechanics’ Institute Library last night. Both appeared in the dress of their coun- try, and the musician’s contributions to the entertainment came in as interludes to the lecture. Mr. Shehadi's lecture dealt with the political and religious history of the country, and particular stress was laid on the vandalism of the Turks in destroy- infz'nnd desecrating the sacred religious relics of the country. He showed how the Turks had dominated the country and its people to the extent of retarding their in- tellectual and commercial as well as spiritual development, and presented with reat intelligence the Jeading character- stics of the people. The instrument on which the native musician played resembled a mandolin, though the string bar was much longer. The music was unlikeanything with which the northern races are familiar, as were the songs. The lecturer was on friendly terms with his audience. THE GERMAN LADIES'BALL Brilliant Scene of Beauty and Wealth at Odd Fellows’ Hall. Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of a So- ciety That Cares for Women and Chlildren. A little over a quarter of a century ago the attention of several kind-hearted Ger- man ladies was called to a case that at once aroused their sympathies. A woman from the old country and her children had been left destitute by the death of the husband and father. Samaritan like, the ladies at once gave a helping hand to the unfortunates. ., Soon after other demands were made upon their generosity, until it was decided that an oreanization would accomplish more good than individual efforts. Then it was that the General German Ladies’ Benevolent Society was organized. A little later this society became an auxiliary to the German Gentlemen’s Benevolent Society, and since ‘then the two organizations have worked side by side, giving help and encouragement to suffering humanity. Every year the ladies’ society holds a reunion. Yesterday was the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the organization, and the event was celebrated by a grand full-dress Wall at Qdd Fellows’ Hall, which eclipsel any ever given by the ladies before. The dec- orations of the hall had been arranged without regard for the expense. The large stage resembled a huge garden and the orchestra was almost hidden from sight by delicate ferns and palms. The entire gal- lery was artistically decorated in bunting and rosettes, all of soft light shades. From the high ceilings longlight-colored stream- ers were suspended and gathered with great taste at the chandelier. The effect of colors and lights was most pleasing to the eye. The ladies were all beautifully attired in evening dresses, and taken as a whole or in part the ballroom presented a most p[ensin§ picture. A Tittle before midnight the company re- paired to the banquet hall, wherea sump- tuous supner was served. The affair was under the management of the following ladies and gentlemen: Presi- dent, Mrs. % Broemmel; vice-president, Mrs. Dr. Regensburger; secretary, Mrs. J. Popert; treasurer, Mrs. F. Stadtmueller; floor manager, Alexander Heynemann; floor committee—W. Winterhalter, F. Hess, W. Hess, F. W. Peters, W. Strauch, H. Gundlach, Dr. Gutsch, Dr. Neuman, H. M. Landsberger, I. W.

HAVE NOT ASKED HIM YET. If the Proper Persons Make the Request He Wil Consider the Matter. Mayor Sutro was seen at his home on Sutro Heights last night, in regard to the recent suggestion that he offer a site for the Wilmerding Industrial School. While he did not say outright that he would give the necessary land he by no means discounted the idea. The proposition originated with the Iro- quois Club, and was embodied in a resolu- tion offered by Max Popper at the club’s meeting Friday night and unanimously adopted, thanking Mr. Sutro for his gener- ous gift of a site for the affiliated colleges. There was simply a mild and polite sug- gestion that he udd tohis gift by offering a site for the proposed mechanical school. “I have heard nothing yet,” said Mayor Sutro, “from any one in an official capacity to make the request. Two or three friends asked me casnally about the matter to-day, but in addition to thatI have only the newspaper items mentioning the sug- gestion. “You know the Board of Regents will meet Tuesday, I think, to sign the final papers accepting the site for the affiliated colleges. “Oh, well, if the request is made we shall see,”” said the Mayor, smiling. “No; there may not be room near the site of the affiliated colleges. I don’t know whether that would be a good location for such an institution anyway. But [ have lots of land—more land than money—" laughingly remarked the wealthy chief magistrate. *‘Yes; Oakland wants the school, and San Jose wants it, and they ought to have such & school; but some people may think that it ought to be located in a large city. “Let’s see; the Wilmerding School has about $400,000, hasn’t it? and they want to spend about $100,000 om buildings and site and keep $300,000 for endowment. ‘Well, of course zhey don’t want to put too much into the site.” BAZAAR AT ST.

A NEW WAITERS' UNION. ‘The Recent Strike at the Creamerie Re- sults in Organization. The strike of the twenty-five waiters at the new Creamerie restaurant at 725 Mar- ket street, on Friday noon, has resulted in the formation of a new waiters’ union. They walked out of the restaurant at the noon hour, when the number of patrons was the greatest. Once before there had been trouble. and the waiters claimed that Young, the proprietor, punished by dis- missal all who complained. They assert that the latest indignity and injustice was when Young posted up rules regulating what food tuey should eat and the hours for their meals, without regard to their tastes or convenience. For many years there was a strong union ) of cooks and waiters in tnis City, but it went to pieces by the union up a bakers’ strike " against Westerfs fii A couple of union restaurants were started and only lasted until the money in the treasury, $5000, was exhausted. Since then the cooks and waiters have been go- ing on the every-man-for-himself principle. st evening the twenty-five striking waiters and a large number of sympathiz- ers in the same line of work assembled a@ 1159 Mission street. Walter McArthur, E. P. Burmes and Ed Rosenberg of the or- ganizing committee of the Trades Council assisted the waiters in gezfecting a tempo- rary organization, which will be under the wing of the National Waiters’ Union, head- quarters at St. Louis. Application will be made for a charter atonce. Temporary officers were elected. An organization committee was appointed to go among the waiters and induce all to join the union. It is expected that when the charter ar- rives there will be a_large body of waiters ready to sign the roll. ———————— Park Concert To-Day.

JOHN P, CLABROUGH DEAD Was the Senior Member of a Prosperous Pioneer Busi- ness Firm. Most of His Time Was Spent Abroad, but He Was Well Known to Local Sportsmen. John P. Clabrough, senior member of the firm of Clabrough, Golcher & Co., died at the residence of his sister-in-law, Mrs. George Ciabrough, at 5:45 last evening. The firm of which Mr. Clabrough was a mem- ber was one of the pioneer concerns of the City, and among sportsmen and business men he was very well known and ex- tremely popular. The deceased was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1834. While yet a young man he emigrated to this country and made the trip across the plains. He reached San Franicsco late in the fifties, where he at once obtained employment in & gunstore. This business had a peculiar fascination for him and he soon mastered all the detail of the fire-arms trade. For some years he held a lucrative posi= tion with Liddle & Kaeding, on Washing- ton street. This he resigued in 1864 to organize, with William Golcher, the firm of Clabrough, Golcher & Co. This firm met with marked success from its incipi- ency, and two years later Mr. Clabrough, while still retaining an interest in the con- cern, departed for Birmingham, England, where he started a gun factory. This ven- ture also proved successiul, and has occu- pied most of its proprietors’ attention up 10 two years ago. While Mr. Claybrough has made his home in England most of the time during the last twenty-five years he has made it a point to visit his friends in San Francisco and look after this end of his business every two or three years. About two years ago be left England for good. His declining years (he was then 58) he determined to spenc in this City. He took up his residence with his sister- in-law, Mrs. George Clabrough, who with two children are his only relatives in Cali- fornia. Here he enjoyed exceilent health until about three months ago. He was then attacked with a disease of the liver, from which he was unable to rally. Mr. Clabrough was never married. He leaves a sister in Iilinois and a brother and gister in England. He belonged to no fraternal societies in this country nor, as far as known, in England. The funeral will take glace Monday afternoon from the residence of Mrs. George Clabrough, at 906 Greenwich street. e e — Cts. Per Can. Colima Baking Powder. Colima Pure Spices.
