PACIFIC” BANK- PROPERTY, The Offer of the Continental Insurance Company Is Rejected. The Company Will Inmsist That the Sale Was Complete—Possible Legislation. The courts will probably be called upon to decide whether the Pacific Baunk property on the northwest corner of Pine and Sansome streets was sold to the Con- tinental Insurance Company or not. The board of directors of the People’s Home Savings Bank, in liquidation, owned the property; offered it for sale, and at the expiration of four months were offered by W. 8. Duval, manager of the local branch of the Continental, $130,000 cash for the property, and in accordance with the following resolution adopted by the board of directors of the bank Mr. Duval de- posited a check for §10,000: Resolved, That _all offers made for the pur- chase of the Pacific Benk building be and are creby declined, and it is further resolved that he pr this property be fixed at $130,000 cash, with fifteen days allowed for examina- tion of title and a deposit of $10,000 to accom- pany acceptance of offer. On the 7th inst. General John F. Sheehan, secretary ot the board of direc- tors of the People’s Bank, wired Henry Evans, vice-president of the insurance company named, that the directors had “resolyed to sell the property for $130,000, have declined a bona-fide bid of $125,000; first come, first served; no option,” and it was on receipt of the following from Vice- vresident Evans: “Purchase property for $130,000; wire when contract signed,” that Mr. Duval made the offer and deposited the $10,000 check with Secretary Sheehan, who gave a receipt that reads as follows: BaX FraNcisco, Nov. 8, 1895, Received, San Francisco., Cal.,, November 7, 1895, of the Continental Insnrance Company of New York its check for the sum of ten thousand ($10,000) dollars, the sum being re- { humor and her busin Continental Insurance Company the premises belonging to this company and known as the Pacific Bank building, situated in said San | Francisco, in accordance with a resolution of this company passed on November 6, 1895, and 1 have deposited said check with the California | Title Insurance and Trust Company in escrow, it to hold the same until the execution of a | contract between this company and the Con- tinental Insurance Company for the sale of said property. whereupon it will be delivered to this company. X But while this transaction was in progress another person whose name has not been made public, but who was repre- sented by R. D. McElroy, made an offer of $132,000. Yesterday morning a full board of directors of the People's Home Company was held for the purpose of taking action on the sale of the property. There were present besides the directors: Coogan, who_represented the insurance company; L. R. Ellert of the Cahfornia Title and Trust Company, and W. S Goodfellow, attorney for McEiroy, represents the unknown bidder. These all wanted to say something, but the board Attorney | who | ®;4 life of activity, which continued long after the death of her husband, eighteen years ago. The preatest grief of her life was the sudden death of her youngest son Frank by drowning in the Sacramento River. Only one or her five children is living—S. A.

The keynote to her character may be found in this entry in her diary, made at the time of her son’s tragic death: ‘“‘Should 1 pass away suadenly 1 want no unneces- sary parade over my body, for it is only | the busk. Let wisdom predominate rather than excitement and passion.”” CAUTION TO JURORS. Judge Morrow of the Federal District Court Admonishes Them to Ob- serve Reticence. United States District Judge Morrow will have no repetition of the offense for | which Grand Juror Summerhayes was sent | to jail if it can be avoided. When the | venire of trial jurymen appeared in court vesterday morning he gave them some | plain written instructions, which speak for | themselves, as follows: You, and each of you, are hereby admon- ished, ordered and commanded not to converse shut off all argument by adopting a reso- lution to reject all bidsand place the prop- erty on the market again. It was an- nounced that sealed bids would be received up to 1 o’clock on Wednesday, the 20th inst. “That is all that was done by the direct- ors,” said Secretary Sheehan, “*but it looks as if they bad a lawsuit on their hands.” “If any one wants to buy that property,” said Manager Duyal yesterday afternoon, “he will have to buy it of the Continental. ‘We are advised that the sale was complete and we propose to act upon the advice of ourattorneys. We purchased the property and that is all there is to it.” A CALLERY OF MEMORIE Mrs. Sarepta C. White's Recollec- tions of Early San Francisco. ‘When Dupont Was the Principal Street and Market a Succession of Sandhills. Mrs. Sarepta C. White is as fine a speci- men of serene, reminiscent age as can be found in many days’ travel. She lives in a pleasant cottage sur- rounded by a well-kept garden, where there is a profusion of roses and tropes, and from her favorite seat in the neat sunny conservatory at the rear of her home, at 1311 Union street, she can see a half-dozen houses in the same block that are evidence of the thrift of herself and husband, the late Dr. Elijah White. She is a picturesque figure, with her snowy hair and still bright brown eyes, She is bent somewhat under the weight of her eight, x years, but there are still evidences of a once commanding carriage, and she is quite as active as many women of half her age. She attends in person to all business affairs, and is the efficient head of a well-ordered household. “I may live to be 100, I can’t tell now,” she said, with twinkling eves. *I don’t want to die, I assure you.”” And the hale old face, with the bloom of a winter apple upon it, gave promise of fourteen more years of happy usefulness. Her memory henomenal and her i e RS e taken nothing from her keen sense of ike directness of style makes her conversation a delightful conirast to the prosing of most respected grandmammas. “I can remember Market street as a suc- cession of sandhbills,” she said yesterday. “I would have laughed at any one wno offered me a !ot where the Palace Hotel now stands.

Several Changes Have Been Made in the Different Classes. At a meeting of the directors of the | horse show last night it was decided not to close the entries until the 16th of the pres- ent month. 1t was also decided to appro- priate the cup given by W. O'B. Macdon- | ough, valued at $200, to a tandem driving contest handled by gentlemen drivers, Class 46. | The C. P.

General Appraiser Shurtleff of New | York, acting referee in the Zante currant | case, expects to be through with taking | testimony to-day. An Armenian named A.

IT MADE THEMALL LAUGH The Play, “The Crime of a Cen- tury,” Fails to Excite Any One. SOLEMN SCENES ARE JEERED AT The Final Act of Durrant Is Pictured as That of Suicide by Poison in Prison. That which is announced as ‘“‘a great moral drama, ‘The Crime of a Century; or the Demon of the Beliry,”” based upon the Durrant murders, and the production of which was enjoined by the court pre- vious to Durrant’s trial, was presented last evening at the Auditorium, with auxiliary attractions in the shape of songs, dancing, a boxing bout and coarse comedy. The house was fairly well filled with people of both sexes and of all ages and conditions. The company, with possibly one excep- tion, was made up of amateurs. The only started during the Midwinter Fair by the German colony. The accounts of the fair last evening showed the expenses to have been about §$10,000, and the total receipts run up to about $20,000. Last evening President Bundschu, in expressing his Ppleasure at the success of the venture, said: It is to the active workers that the credit of this success 1sdue. M. Kollmann, the secretary, and M. Berghein, the recording secretary, have worked day and night. We must also give the credit that is due to the ladies, who gave up their time and labored in_the Testaurants and had no part in_the festivities. There are the members of the St. Marcus Frauen Verein. under the direction of Mrs. Ludemann; the ladies of the William Tell booth, under the charge of Mrs. C. Rober and Mrs. H. Fried and their assistants of the Eintracht rein; the ice cream booth, over which Mrs, K. R. Weinecke presided; the Ladies of the Red Cross, who took charge of the delicacies booth, uncer Mrs. A. Tepley; the ladies of the San Francisco Schuetzen, under Mrs. W. Harris. To these and their assistants is due the success of the festival, as well as to those who have previously been mentioned. # The entertainment last eveninig con- sisted of all the most attractive features that had been presented during the week. It was the intention to close the fair at 10 o’clock, but the participants seemed loth to cease, and it was not until 11 o’clock that the big bell announced that the fair was ended. Then came the ball. George A. Rutz was the floor manager, and the care with which he and the committee prepared the programme and plan set the affair in motion without a hitch. Theo Planz and Miss Ida Schultz went to the front of the long column and led the grand march. The line went twice around the Pavilion, so great was the number of incident that interfered with the flow | people who wanted to take partin the open- ““WHAT IS THIS MCST DEMONIACAL PASSION THAT HAS TAKEN POSSESSION OF ME p”’—AT THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST ACT. of blood-curdling tragedy was a deter- mined and successful effort of the audience to hear Miss Cad Wilson sing and see her gyrate with a profusion of filmy skirts. Her specialties were introduced aiter the third act, and just after Henri Du Bois, who personated Durrant, had choked to death, in the midst of much screaming and racket, his first vietim. The audience wanted more; that is, more of Miss Wil§ son’s singing of songs, and could only be quieted by another verse and another tlourish of her atbreviated skirts. Pietro Sosso, the young man who under- took to be the **demon of the belfry,’” suc- ceeded in making himself a fairly good likeness of Durrant, but, contrary to ex- vectation, he and his ‘‘demon” conduct were received with occasional applause, in recognition, doubtless, of his cleverness as an actor. He undoubtedly tried hard to make himseif a great villain, in speech, look and action. His first appearance on the stage was followed by clapping of hands and vigorous stamping of feet. There was no demonstration indicating that the **demon” was abhorred or was other than an amateur actor. The play cannot be considered seriously atall. Itisajumble of bloodthirsty solilo- quies of the “demon,” with occasional lapses into a remorseful state of mind, in- f\xll-fledged congruous ssociations, a image of his Satanic majesty, according to time-honored tradition, and an evi- dently imported policeman, who did little else than deliver speeches of undoubtedly orthodox sentiments. In the second act, when Beatrice Lacomb, representing Blanche Lamont, versonated very well by Miss Fannie Parker, on her knees appealed to her dead mother in heaven to save her from the “demon of the belfry,’”” the spirit of the mother, clothed in irreproachable white, appeared in an upper story of the scenery. and the audience greeted her and the prayerful girl with almost vociferous Ilaughter. Satan, who was personated by Edwin L. Liovd, appeared frequently, and with enough rea fire to make, it was probably hoped, the blood of the audience run cold, but he was received with langhter and cat- calls from the irrepressible small boy. The devil was a failure, and his majesty at one time appeared to laugh when he endeav- ored hardest to inspire awe. “Si Plunkett,” a gentleman from the country, was made the most effective character of the play by David Rivers. Next to the singing of Miss Wilson and the boxing bout, he carried off the honors of the evening. 5 In the concfiu}ing act the two villainous “‘body-snatchers” forgot their calling long enough to moralize and conclude to join the Salvation Army, and everybody ap- peared to consider it very funny. A rapid shifting of scenery disclosed the ‘‘demon of the belfry’’ in a cell with a con- venient hottle of poison. He pours the deadly liquor into a pewter cup, drinks it off and after appropriate_convulsions lies down on the stage and dies, thus cheating the gallows of its dues. Then the curtain dropped and the people went out. Judging from the remarks made the play was a farce and of no con- sequence whatever. FAREWELL TO THE FAIR The Goethe-Schiller Festival Was Ended With a Grand Ball. About Ten Thousand Dollars Realized to Complete the Monument Fund. The Goethe-Schiller festival at the Pa- vilion closed last night in a blaze of glory. From first to last it has been a success financially and socially. The conclusion was a grand ball, that lasted until morn- ing, and the large floor was filled almost to crowding with dancers until long after midnight. The monument for Golden Gate Park is now assured. Only $10,000 was wanted to complete the monument fund that was ing dance. Mr. Rutz formed the linein sin- gle couples, double couples, and finally a “company front” that extended across the floor. This immense column was over fifty deep; still the manager kept the dancers in perfect order. Then the orchestra struck up a waltz, the beginning of the end. The dance pro- gramme consisted of twenty numbers, with an intermission for supper. All of those who participated in the fair danced in costume, and presented a beautiful sight under the calcium lights. It was long after midnight before the orchesira played *“Home, Sweet Home."”” SPIDER KELLY INDICTED The Grand Jury Considers a Criminal Libel Charge Against Two Lawyers. Swan, the Sign Painter, Meets Juror Leventritt—Supervisor King Gets a Hearing. The Grand Jury held a regular session yesterday afternoon and was guided in its deliberations by Assistant District Attor- ney Black. The first case considered was the charge of criminal libel preferred by Police Judge Charles A. Low against Attorneys Dona- hue and Keyes. The first' witness called was James McMullen, city editor of TuE Carn. He was followed by the attorneys named, and then a consultation was held between District Attorney Black and Judge Low. The Judge was asked whether he would be satisfied if the ac- cused attorneys should make a public acknowledgment retracting the charges against the court, and the Judee replied in the affirmative, saying that he was not vindictive. ‘When the statement was published im - plying that Judge Low had an interest in transferring a sum of money coming to the Johnson family to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children he went before the Grand Jury and explained that the suggestion was made in open court. He believed that the money if not trans- ferred would be squandered for liquor, and the children, whose parents had been ar- rested for cruelty, would be neglected in the future as in the past. Judge Low told the jury that if the charges against him were true he should be indicted and removed from office; if they were false the lawyers who made them should be indicted.” Judge Low is deter- mined that the vindication shall be as open as the accusation. The jury made a partial report {o Judge Sanderson, handing in an indictment for robbery against “‘Spider” Kelly, the pugil- ist, and J. Sullivan. This is the case that Ofticer Crockett has been working on for several weeks. Severe pressure was brought to bear to prevent an indictment. The man robbed was Bassil Owen and the amount of his loss was $7, but he received a smash in the eye from one of the men concerned in the alleged robbery. An arrest was made and the case taken to Police Judge Campbell’s court and there dismissed. Jabez 8. Swan, ex-member of the State Board of Equalization, became indignant when so many of his sizns were ordered removed, and rashed to the conclusion that he was being personally persecuted and fancied that his persecutor was Marion Leventritt of the Grand Jury. It is true that Leventritt was once in the sign post- ing business and had reason to regard Swan as a rival, and therefore the latter reasoned that Leventritt was the sign- moying spirit in the business. Swan went inside of the jury-room with his war paint on and his tomahawk handy, but the pipa of peace must have been passed around inside, for the painter came out smiling and returned joyously to his sign shop. ——————— ‘Woking Prison was closed October 1, and Aylesbury Prison is set apart for fe;na:le convicts. ———-—— =ALL doctors don’t prescribe the same medi- cine; all good doctors recommend Jaros hygi- enic underwear.

The Mother of the Peeress Forced by Financial Stress to Go Second Class. Lord Sholto Douglas’ new job of theat- rical managerisin jeopardy. His mother- in-law, Mrs. Mooney, has started for Los Angeles to see if she can’t assist him in guarding and properly exhibiting the money-making qualities of Lady Shoito. Lord Sholto’s insinuations that Mrs. Mocney is not moved entirely by her ten- der care for her daughter may have some foundation. In spite of her temporary vartnership with the Alameda Constable, whom she assisted in working up a case against a saloon man across the bay for selling beer withouta license, Mrs. Mooney 1s not exactly rolling in wealth. Asa matter of fact she is really ‘“hard up,” as was instanced by the fact that she had to ride to Los Angeles in the uncomfortable second-class carriages, because it only costs §12 to travel that way, while passage by the luxurious first-class coaches costs $3 more. Mrs. Mooney is a trim, loquacious little woman. Toa young man in the depot she confided the fact that she was unabie to buy a first-ciass ticket. Then she de- nounced all men as liars, repudiated the several interviews she has had with them recently and then proceeded to verify most of their statements. Mrs. Mooney had no horsewiip wi th her. “Them stories is all lies,”” she declared. “I never said I was going to horsew hip Lord Sholto. If it was necessary for any- thing of that sort to be done I would look to my boy Tom to attend to it for me.’” Mrs. Mooney had a picture of Thomas, which she exhibited proudly. Heis a big fellow, with a heavy, uninteresting face. He looks, though, as_if he wonld make a success in a rough and tumble fight. Mrs. Mooney said that she was going to Los Angeles, because she thought she was the proper person to manage Lady Sholto. Lord Douglas, siie was sure, would be im- posed upon at every turn, and she consid- ered it her duty to help them, she said, when they were in a position to need her advice and managerial ability. Mrs. Mooney will also look out for the welfare of her son “Tom.” Local vaudeville managers and theatrical agents have acquired anything but a pas- sionate admiration for young Thomas Mooney. They do not agree with Mrs. Mooney as to the talents of herson. He sang with his sister Loretta for some time before she became Laay Sholto Douglas. That was when Mamma Mooney was act- ing as manager. Then Mrs. Mooney would make it a condition of her daughter’s en- gagement that brother Tom should be hired, too. In order to get the beauty whose notoriety made her so strong a drawing-card, the brother also got a job. He has not been so busy since Loretta left the stage. ‘When Mrs. Mooney learned that her daughter contemplated returning to a pro- fessional life she went post-haste to Lady Sholto’s accredited agent, Archie Levy, and to _the manager of the theater where Lady Sholto had been booked. She an- nounced that she was going to manage her daughter, and that the young lady would not maka a contract with them unless her brotber Tom were given employment also. “I have received a letter fromm my daugh- ter saying she was going back on the stage, and asking me'to look out for a place,” said Mrs. Mooney. ‘“Now, 1 know she won't go on witkout Tom, so if you really want her at your theater why vou've got to hire Tom, too.” Mr. Levy told the fond mother that he had received several letters and telegrams from her titled daughter requesting him to book her in San Francisco and the East and fixing terms. He exhibited the letters and pointed out that they said nothing about ‘“brother Tom,” or even about Mamma Mooney. This Mrs. Mooney declared was an over- sight. ~She admiited that Lord Sholto didn’tlike Tom, and that Tom reciproca- ted this aversion. But she said Tom was necessary to Lady Sholto’s success, and she also thought that the black-haired little dancer would make more money if her mother was managress than if her husband, Lord Sholto, acted as business man. In fact, Mrs. Mooney professed great contempt for his lordship’s business acumen. Mrs. Mooney's presant trip to Los Ange- les is avowedly to gain control of her daughter. ‘The mother is very poor. The daughter is now making "considerable money through her notoriety as the wife of ason of the Marquis of Queensberry. The mother, who controlled the earnings of the girl before her marriage, evidently wants to make an attempt to resume her former place as purse-holder. Her success is problematical. Lady Sholto fled fron: her mother once at the time of her marriage. Lord Sholto does not like his mother-in-law and Mrs. Mooney’s reception by the young couple will hardly be of the warmest description. THE LADIES FAINTED. A Runaway Horse Causes a Stampede on the Corner of Jones and Market Streets. A horse attached to a cart, belonging to David Dillon, a contractor, ran away on Seventh street yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock while the driver, James Bulger, Was 1n a store. The animal tore up Seventh street and at the corner of Market street the cart struck a hitching-post, knocking it over, and made a diagonal cut for J. J. O’'Brien & Co.’s corner. The front of the store was crowded with ladies, and to their horror the horse dashed on_tothe sidewalk and scattered them right and left. One lady was knocked down by the wheels and several fainted from fear. They were carried into the store,where they soon recovered. The lady who was knocked down was more fright- ened than hurt. The iron doors of the sidewalk elovator on Market street were fortunately open, and the wheels of the cart struck them with such force as to capsize both horse | and cart. Sergeant Cnristiansen hap- rened to be close by, ana he sprang upon he prostrate animal’s head and held it down till others ran to his assistance. 1t the wheels had not collided with the iron doors the chances are that several lives would have been lost, as the sidewalk was crowded at the time all the way to Taylor street. 3 Bulger called at the City Prison to in. quire about his rig and was promptly ar- rested and booked for fast driving.
