24 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1895. THE NEW PRESIDIO PLANS, Vast System of Improvements Recommended by Colonel Kimball. A SUPERB PARADE FIELD. Map and Reports Forwarded to Washington for Approval at Headquarters. Yesterday Colonel Amos S. Kimba]!, chief quartermaster, Department of Cali- fornia, forwarded to Quartermaster-Gen- gacds it as the foremost military station on the Pacific Coast. ; General Miles, commanding the army, has full knowledge of the reservation and knows its importance as a point of con- centration for troops. It is fortunate that the recommendations will be presented to officers who have served in San Francisco and possess special knowledge of the sub- ject to be considered. According to the new plans the parade grounds cover a space 1700 feet in ength and 800 feet in width. Many of the old wooden buildings which are now within the space of the proposed parade field will be removed ; the stables and corral will be ut out of sight under the bluff near the an, where the filling has been done; the hospital will be placed on high ground, remote from the officers’ quarters, and new houses for commissioned and non- commissioned officers will be constructed. | The buildings indicated by lines already exist, and the dotted spaces represent buildings in contemplation, The new roads are not shown in_the diagram, but ways will be laid out and built in harmony with the new departure. _ Colonel Kimball in his report to the quartermaster-general says: eral Batchelder, U. 8. A, Washington, | After careful consideration of the matter and is suggested that it would be well to authorize several buildings at one time, for, if con- structed under one contract, & very material saving, it is thought, will be made in the cost, as the material can then be purchased by the contractor in cargo lots. In connection with the erection of stables, it is recommended that a 12-inch well be sunk at the point indicated in the plans,where the test well was bored in 1888. The water in this well rises to a sufficient height to _flow to the site of the new stables by gravity. Itis believed that & 12-inch well, sunk to the depth of 125 feet, ‘will furnish all the water required for usein the several stables and corral and would obviate the necessity of connecting the stables with the post works and consequently reduce the quantity of water to be pumped over the hill from the pumping works. Colonel Kimball also sets forth in his report that the erection of brick barrack- buildings required the demolition of five of the old non-commissioned staff or mar- ried men’s quarters. The erection of ad- ditional barracks will cause the destruc- tion of the remaining buildings in the old line of married men’s quarters. It 1s im- portant that provision be made for new quarters for the authorized non-commis- sioned staff of the post.

HUMPHREYS, C.E, UNDER THE DIREOTION OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL AMOS S. KIMBALL, DEPUTY QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL, U. 8. A, CHIEF QUARTERMASTER DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA, OCTOBER, 1895. D. C., plans for contemplated changes at the Presidio of San Francisco. drawn by James H. Hum- engineer, are set forth in the ving diagram in to-day’s CALL. On the s here indicated the future per- | manent improvements of the reservation will be constructed, provided that the recommendations receive approval of the head of the department. In the work of preparing plans, Colonel Grahaw., commanding the post, and other officers of the Fifth Artillery were con- | sulted, and their views are represented in the proposed new system. i The head of the quartermaster’s depart- ment, General Batchelder, was on duty for many years in San Francisco. He is | familiar with the Presidio, and justly re- | accompan full consultation with post authorities I have | prepared -the inclosed plans showing the pro- | posed_arrangement at the post. In making (hl!&!'mn I have had in view the location of the | buildings so that the least amount of grading would be necessary and alfo the utilization of the present roads as far as practicable. It will be observed that the hospital is on a slighte; inence which is not only sightly, but is pr tected by the hills frem the prevailing winds which blow past it in s direction away from the post. The site of the present hospital will be available for the extension of the line of of- ficers’ quarters. It is recommended that this map be adopted and that the new structures as authorized be | built upon the lines indicated therein. The present order of necessity for new build- ings &t the Presidio is as follows: Firsi—Quartermaster's stables and wagon- shed. Second—Light Battery stable and gunsheds. Third—Non-commissioned officers’ quarters. Fourth—Cavalry stables. If the state of appropriations will permit, it and ordnance sergeant are indicated on the plan. Money Never Accounted For. Patrick McGlinn, who died in 1891, was ex- ecutor of the Hugh McGlinn estate from 1879. Yesterday Everett Ames petitioned for letters | of administration on the estate of Patrick, al- leging that the latter fraudulently obtained a power of attorney to represent Susan Monagle in the settlement of the Hugh McGlinn estate, and that for her he drew $14,757 12 and ac- counted only for $2000. It 1s also alleged that McGlinn conveyed his property at Guerrero and Seventeenth streets 1o his wife, Mary Mc- Glinn, in 1889. Mr. Ames asks that he be ap- pointed administrator of the estate, declaring that the widow should not be allowed to fill thatoftice.

The Matter Presented In Such a Way as to Show an Actual Saving In Cost. In response to the invitation of the Board of Supervisors Setretary Freud, on behalf of the Merchants’ Association, ap- peared before the Committee on Street Lights yesterday morning to advocate the adoption by the Board of Supervisors of the proposition of adequately lighting Market street with electric lights. He called attention to the big petition signed by over 1000 property-owners and mer- chants upon Market street and presented to the board about a month ago. He also read the resolutions unanimously adopted by the board of directors of the Merchants’ Association on September 5 in favor of this progressive step. The question was discussed in two parts. First, the advisability and desirability of having Market street adequately illum- inated at night, and secondly, the ex- pense. He urged there could be no ques- tion as to the policy of having this main artery of the City properly lighted up. At present to the visitors to the City, it pre- sents a dismal appearance at night from the ferries to Montgomery street. From that point up to Valencia street after the shops have extinguished their lights it is by no means attractive. There is no City in the world of equal population with San Francisco whose main thoroughfare is so poorly illuminated. Even as compared with other cities of the State, such as Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland and Sacra- mento, it is a fact that S8an Francisco is much behind the times in this respect. Among the leading cities of California it may be said that with the exception of Vailejo, San Francisco is the worst lighted up City. Therefore the spirit of Jrogress that is now awakening in this City de- mands better illumination of this ‘main thoroughfare. Mr. Freud then took up the matter of cost. Regarding the expense of carrying out this Fro]ect, the Merchants’ Association has been n communication with Clerk Russell of the Board of Sugervisofl. and he has kindly fur- nished the data upon which my argument is based. From his figures it appears that the present cost of lighting the City’s streets ex- ceeds $300, a year, or about $1000 per night. "Of this amount over $200,000 is ex- pended for gas lamps and the balance for elec- tric lights in the outlying districts of the City. The contract of the City with the gas and elec- tric light companiess will not expire until August 1, 1896. The contract price for each ges lamp is 12 cents per night and for each electric light is 55 cents per night. There are now seventy-six gas lamps on Market street, from the ferry to Valencia street, at a cost of 12 cents each, giving & total of $9 12 per night for thase ¢as lamps. In order to properly and thoroughly light up this thoroughfare it will require fifty-six electric lights suspended along the center of the street at the crossings, which, at the cost of 55 cents per night, will amount 0 $30 80 per night. No additional poles will be required.” Therefore it will cost the City only $21 68 more to light Market street ade- quately with electric lights. It certainly is worth this difference, but it will not be necessary to add any cost, for it is a fact that there are a number of localities where both gas and electricity are now used, and it will be an easy matter for the Board of Super- visors to dispense wi 'he contract with the gas company is for not less than 5100 lamps. They are now charging the City for 5500 gas lamps. Therefore if this board will cut off only 400 gas lamps it would save $48 per night—more than double the amount that will be necessary to carry out the roper lighting of Market sttoet with electric ights. It has been demonstrated 'that each electric light furnishes a volume equal to at least six gas lamps. The fifty-six electric lights on Market street will therefore give a volume equal to at least 336 gas lamps. These 336 s would cost the City at 12 cents per light $40 32, s0 that in reality the City would get Wwith the fifty-six electric lights twice as much value in light as it would in gas. There can be no comparison made between the obsolete gas lamps and the modern electric lights. This is not & question of personal rrelexsnca for the one company or the other. If the gas company could produce a better light than the electric gs:l'f company it would equally have our sup- The matter was taken under advisement. —_— THE MARRIAGE A FARCE, Miss Inez Mercer Finds Herself in a Peculiar Predica~ ment. Her Husband, However, Had a Real License and a Sure Enough Minister. It is not often thata woman marriesa man without knowing it. Yet such seems to have been the case according to a writ filed in the Superior Court yesterday, in which Miss Inez Mercer asks that her marriage with R. B. Westcott be declared. null and void. Miss Mercer says it wasall an accident, on her part at least, butshe now learns that the play groom was malicious enough to secure a real live minister and a sure enough license, and in consequence of this she was tied hard and fast to a man she neither likes nor loves. Now she wants the Superior Court to anfiul the marriage, setting forth her rea- sons in the following com plaint: Plaintiff herein complaining of defendant alleg That on or about May 24, 1895, in the city of Portland, Or., the plaintiff and a number of other people were engaged in some short dramatic performances for their mutual pleasure, That during the course of said performances, at the suggestion of defendant, plaintiff went through a sham marriage ceremony for the amusement of their said mutual friends, who Jrere present in & hotel in said city on’ said ate. That on or about September 15, 1895, plain- tiff was informed that at the time of said cere- mony said defenaant had & marriage license, and prooured said ceremony to bo performed Dby & licensed minister suthorized to perform marriage ceremonies. That plaintiff was unaware of said facts at said time, and supposed that it was merely a sham performance for the amusement of their mutual friends, and had no idea that defend- ant had with him a license, or that the gentle- man who was called in to perform the cere- mony was & minister, but believed, as afore- said, that she was merely going through a sham ceremony for the amusement of their mutual frien: That plaini and defendant have never lived together and have never sustained the relations of husband and wife; that said plaintiff had no intention or thought of be- comins the wife of defendant, and plaintiff never did consent to a marriage ceremony or to a mlrfllfe with defendant, but that the consent of plaintiff was obtained by fraud, as aforesaid, and plaintiff never did consent to a marriage with defendant. . Wherefore, plaintiff prays for judgment of the above court, annulling, canceling and setting aside the said marriage, and that by decree the parties to said marriage be forever released, freed and discharged thereirom, and from all the obligations thereof, and for such other and further relief as to the court seems just. Miss Mercer is an Eastern woman, and was visiting friends in Portland at thetime the alleged mock marriage took place. She is now living in San Francisco,' though Dorn & Dorn, her ]eial advisers, refuse to give the address of the unfortunate young woman. 7 Westcott is a theatrical manager, who chanced to be in Portland on business at the time Miss Mercer says the accidental marriage took place. The deféndant in this novel suit is now in the East, and it is said he will make no contest. ALONG THE WATER FRONT. A Rallroad Wreck Delays Many Passengers of a China Steamer. WHALING WAS A LOSING GAME. An Anonymous Circular to British Ship-Owners Causes Much Il-Feeling. The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer City of Peking sailed for Hongkong via Yokohama yesterday evening. She was to have left at 3 P. M., but owing to the wreck on the Southern Pacific Railway near Los Angeles Friday night some of the intend- ing passengers could not reach San Fran- cisco on time, so the steamer was anchored off Meiggs wharf and awaited their com- ing. When the belated travelers reached Osakland they were placed on a tug and taken to the steamer, which sailed imme- diately after they went on board. The cabin passengers on the Peking were: J. H. Ingram and_family, Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Gili, Commander W. W. Resenger, U. 8. N.; Lieutenant Herbert Wilson, U. S. N.; Judge Putnam, John R. Putnam, Israel Putnam, A. G. Boscowen, Miss Boscowen, Miss Henrietta Taylor, Captain Piorkowski and Mrs. Pior- kowsk{ of Russia, Miss Christian Cummings, H. S. Wheeler, L. Samiloff, Mrs. Alice Coates, Min Yung Chan. Among the belated ones was A. G. Bos- cowen, private secretary to Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the British Colonial Secre- tary. Captain G. G. Trask took out the Peking, but on her arrival at Hongkong, Captain Smith of the Rio de Janeiro will take com- mand. First Mate J. J. Cattanarich of the Rio will be promoted to master and bring the vessel home. The Peking took away as part of her cargo $799,097 in bullion and Mexican dol- lars. The anti-pilot movement is gathering strength. The Ship-owners’ Association received word from the Chamber of Com- merce yesterday that the subject would be discussed at a meeting to be held next Tuesday. General W. H. Dimond, chair- man of the chamber, is in favor of the idea. Shipping masters, butchers, ship chan- dlers and others who have contracts with owners of British ship-owners are indig- nant over the following anonymous circu- lar, which was received by an owner in England, September 16: To Quners of Ships Bound to San Francisco: T beg to call your attention to the shipping of seamen and also to the supplying of butchers' meat, etc., at this port. The majority of masters of British ships ar- riving here lately have been tied down by con- tracts made by their owners in England, with one or two firms in the above branches of busi- ness, which has shut out from competition all other firms and individuals here, much to the disadvantage of the vessel’s interest. As a matter of fact, meat can be bought in | the open market at a much less rate than that contracted for. ‘The shipping of seamen, too, which is no in- considerableitem in a ship’sdisbursements,can be curtailed very much by being leit to the aiscretion of the master of the ship. In one case alone, the Somali, a saving of $300, or £60, for shipping the crew could have been made if the ship had not been contracted for revious to her arrival here. The Lord Shaftes- Pary and Lord Spencer could have done the same. Times have changed greatly in San Francisco | of late years, and shipping masters and butch- ers are satisfied now with a legitimate profit, where they chnr%ed extortionate prices before. I think, by leaving your ships iree, you will save money. The ship-owners in England have come to the conclusion that they were never bet- ter served than now, and in consequence two new contracts were sent to San Fran« cisco yesterday. i There was considerable excifement around Harrison-street pier yegterday afternoon. The work of discharging the bark Prussia was being rushed, and con- sequently the friction on the hoisting gear was very great. While themen were work- ing hardest the block caught fire, &nd it soon spread to the sails. All hands were called and ordered aloft with buckets. In a few minutes the blaze was put out. ‘Fhe Master Mariners’ Benevolent Asso« ciation held a most enjoyable reunion in Saratoga Hall last evening. There was a very large attendance, and the “old salts” | never seemed to tire of the mazy waltz. Dancing was the principal form of amuse= ment, and when the affair was all over everybody said it was the best reunion the | association ever had held. | The sick whalers who came down on the steamer Jeanie from the Arctic a few days ago were paid off by the Pacific Steam Whaling Company vesterday. | Some of them had considerable money | coming to them, and one man, who re- | ceived a check for $1400, felt as rich as a | millionaire. The losses in this year’s whaling ventures will fall principally upon the owners. Last season the catch was an enormous one and even the sailors had | very large sums coming to them when the profits were figured out. When it came to shipping again the owners figured on another big catch and contracted with | many of the various crews for so much a | month instead of by the “lay.” Had the men signed under the latter system they would not have a cent coming to them, but now the owners are out and injured. ———————— Park Music To-Day.
