The Liskers Are Suing to Regain Pos- session of Their Bartered Ala- meda Property. A. A. Lisker and Caroline Lisker, his wife, are suing to have an agreement en- tered into by themselves and Jacob Hoeges annulled and set aside. The agreement conveyed to Hoeges a lot in Alameda, receiving in exchange the furniture and goodwill of a lodging-house at 246 Third street which Hoeges claimed to own. They also gave a promissory note for a further sum ovér the value of the Alameda lot and secured it by a chattel mortgage on the furniture they had re- ceived by the change. Tue defendant represented to them that the lodging- house was paying $125 a month, but the plaintiffs soon found that this was untrue. | It hardly pays expenses they say. When the plaintiffs discovered the true state of affairs they at once demanded the | abrogation of the agreement, but Hogan as refused and they want the courts to compel him to reconvey the property. ALONG THE WATER FRONT, The Gaelic Arrives From the Orient With Many Nota- bles Aboard. C. C. Carpenter of the Asiatic Squadron to Be Retired. The arrival of the steamer Gaelic cre- ated quite a stir around the Mail dock yesterday morning. There were over 200 passengers, and several of them got into trouble with representatives of the Gov- ernment. A Japanese woman, who was vouched for by no less a person than the Governor of Idaho, was refused a landing by the Immigration Commissioner, and a woman who said her husband had been jeweler to the royal family in Java was ar- | rested for attempting to smuggle jewels | ashore in her stockings. Rear-Admiral C. C. Carpenter of the Asiatic squadron and several other nota- busy attending to them. The cabin pas- gers were: M. Baggallay, Rear-Admiral C. C. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Elliott, F. H. Loring, M. E. Wright, C. Von_ Bose, Monseigneur Ignace onn: F. H. onte Olinstead, Mrs. W. B. Rose, Y. Wooyeno, D. I. Blake, James D. Car- son, Rev. J. Ramas, Miss Preston, Mrs. E. Simp- son, child and maid. Admiral Carpenter has reached the age- limit, and next February he will be re- tired. He will be succeeded by Commo- dore F. V. McNair, who leaves for Hong- kong on the steamer Riode Janeiro to-day. In the meantime Captain Benjamin F. Day of the Baltimore is in command, t as the cruiser was to sail for San Fran- o to-day Captain John J. Read of the Otympia'would be ranking officer until the arrival of Commodore McNair. The crack cruiser was at Yokohama on November 9, and is now probably in Chinese waters. Mrs. Sampson, another passenger, has come to San Francisco to meet her hus- band, who is a iieutenant on the Balti- more. When it came to landing the Japanese passengers in the steerage Inspector Gaff- eney had considerabie trouble with one of the” women. A %ood»iookmg girl claimed of Edwin T. Kanatzbara, and said she was going to_join him. Her story was not believed, and proof was de- | manded. She produced a copy of an_affi- davit, which had been sworn to before a notary public, setting_forth that she was of Kanatzbara, and was coming from Japan to join him. This was signea by W. McConnel, Governor of Idaho. The affidavit did not have much weight with the immigration officer, and the woman was held pending further in- vestigation. Gaffeney has sent word to the Governor of Idaho, but thinks the woman is a frand, and says she is intended for a disreputable house Ando and his wife also came back. The couple will be remembered by almost everybody who visited the Japanese vil- lage” during the Midwinter Fair. One night the couple had a row and Mrs. Ando stabbed her husband and nearly killed him. Since his recovery they have lived in peace and quietness. They will seek an engaczement in one of the San Francisco variety theaters. The Gaelic has an_enormous quantity of freight, nearlv all of which is for Eastern ports. Captain G. W. Conner of the Jap- anese steamer Saikio Maru who is making a flying trip to San Francisco, says there i 500 tons aboard. It will all be got , however, and the steamer will get away on her regular sailing date. The report that Captain Walker of the Belgic had been relieved is declared un- founded by the officers of the Gaelic. They say that he is still in command and has been ordered to bring the steamer to San ! Francisco, Captain Dan Haskell resumed command of the big Spreckels tug Fearless to-day. He bas been on the sick list for overa month and made a trip to Honolulu for bis health. He is now considerably better end is giad to be back in harness. Asa result of his return there will be many changes in the Spreckels service. Captain Clem Randell will return to the Vigilant, Captain John Silovich to the Reliance anc- Captain J. Hawley will go as mate of the Fearless. The Harbor Commissioners did not meet yesterday. Commissioner Chad- bourne was away and President Colnon was alone in his glory. Commissioner Cole had returned from his trip to the in- terior, but was informed that there was to be no meeting, so he did not put in an ap- pearance. A meeting of the full board will be held next Tuesday. The Stockton steamers are having a hard time of it just now. The river is very low, and at_almost every bend the hoats zo aground. In consequence they are some- times five and six hours’ late. Captan McMurtry of the J. D. Peters remarked yesterday that if the heavy rains did not come soon the steamers would have to tie up. The Peters brought down nearly 150 passengers yesterday. The British ship Chrysomene, which sailed from San Francisco for Queenstown on July 4 last, had a terrible experience. She was caught in a hurricane, and some of her spars were carried away and the rigging damaged. Her masts were sprung and uer deckseams opened. Part of her cargo was jettisoned and the remainder damaged, as the vessel sprang a leak. Later advices received by the Merchants’ Exchange go to show that the American ship Belle O’Brien was within sixty miles of port when she went down. The under- writers were paying 90 per cent to reinsure her, and the men who Yook the risk must have been very much chagrined when they beard how near the vessel was.to finishing her vovage in safety. When the sailors left her off Queenstown thére was nine feet of water in her hold. e A Musical Treat To-Day. Willis E. Bacheller, tenor, will give his last song recital at the Y: M. C.

At a meeting of the State Horticuitural Society yesterday there was a long and in- teresting discussion upon the methods of drying prunes. It started from the read- ing of a report made by the secretary re- garding an investigation undertaken by the experimental station at Berkeley. F. T. Bioletti had been deiailed by Professor Hilgard to investigate the various phe- nomena in the prune drying in the San Jose region. He read the report of his ob- servations on defective forms occurring during the drying process. Professor Hilgard said that he thought that any mechanical rupture of the skins should be in the form of slitting and not merely pricking, because the mere punc- ture soon closes with dried juice. The needles of the pricking-machine shouid be inclined uphill toward the rolling fruit, 50 as to insure the slitting. Pricked prunes he considers handsomer than any lye- dipped prunes and resemble the finest French article. The question was asked by J. Z. Ander- son as to which has the best keepimfi qual- ity, dipping or pricking. Major Will A. Coulter stated that he had used both pro- cesses and that it takes twice the time to dry the pricked prunes. Pricked prunes suifer loss of juice by exudation and loss of weight, and they require many more dry- i"§ trays and ground. . A. Wilcox claimed that good prickers do not tear the skin, and of the two_sys- tems he favors pricking to dipping. John Markley was of the same way of thinking and added that the fruit must not be forced through the machine too fast. If properly cared for, it is difficult to distinguish be- tween the prunes cured by the two pro- cesses. A discussion of the two processes was entered into by Messrs. Cunningham, Aaderson, 8. P. Saunders, B. N. Rowles, Ramsay, Professor Hilgard, Major Coulter and others, The subjects selected for the December meeting were “Pruning of Prune Trees,”’ by 8. P. Saunders of San Jose, and ‘‘Boxes vs. Sacks for Packing Dried Fruits,” by B. Rowles of 8an Francisco. LEAGUE OF THE CROSS. Company A Entertains the Members and Friends With an Excellent Programme.

NEW IRISH MOVEMENT Two Councils of the National Alliance Organized in This City. cNally; iss Addie After Finishing the Work in San Fran- cisco Other Places Will Be Invaded. The Irish National Alliance is making rapid progress in the way of organizing its forces. Its plan is to district the City and form councils in the different districts rather than to establish one central body. By this means it is thought that the idea of the National Alliance, which is to every- where unité the Irish people in the cause of Ireland’s liberty, can best be served. After organizing in the City an effort will be made to form councils in other The leaders elsewhere as in San Francisco their bopes will probably be realized. Anyway the movement is well under way and the membership of the two councils already formed is daily increasing. The O’Neill Council has just been or- ganized with the following officers: P. J. O’Neill, president; George Egan, vice- president; James Loughery, recording sec- retary; John Murphy, treasurer. This council starts out with a large member- ship. The charter of the National Ali- ance provides that ten members can form a council. The Emmet Council has for its officers: Thomas D. Crowley, president; John Doyle, _vice-president; David Russell, financial secretary; Matt G’ Donnell, treas- urer; W. P. Hannon, recording, secretary. The objects of the alliance are to work for the national independence of Ireland on any lines consistent with civilization. Itis opposed to Parliamentary agitation, which it regards as a failure. WILL OF MRS, TOLAND She Leaves an Estate Worth About $100,000 to Her Relatives. A Tract of 3900 Acres of Land in Solano Constitutes the Bulk of the Property. The will of Mary B. Toland, widow of Dr. Toland, founder of the Toland Medi- cal College, has been filed for probate. Accompanying the will is a petition for its probate, submitted by Hugo H. Toland, her son. The petition estimates the value of the estate to be about $100,600, $90,000 of which | represents the ~value of a tract of land in Solano County, containing 3900 acres, By the terms of the will the testatrix di- rects that during the terms of the leases oi the Solano County tract the rents shall be collected by the firm of Mastick, Belcher & Mastick, and when the leases expire the land is to be sold. One-half of the pro- ceeds thus obtained are to be paid to her son, Hugo Toland, and to him also are given her works of art and tapestries. From the remaining half.of the proceeds of the sale of the ranch she directs $1000 to be paid to Edwin B. Mastick for his ser- vices in settling up the estate, and she directs further that he secure to himself ample compensation for further services. To Grace Church she left $500 for a pew to be kept for the use of her son and other members of her family. ‘Lo Charles Grid- ley Toland she left $2000; to Mary I. Earl she left a like sum; to the San Francisco Art Association she left the original pic- tures of her published books and also the income from all her works. The residue of her estate she left in equal shares to her brothers, John, W. C, and George Morri- son, and to the families of each of two deceased sisters. Horse SHOW bonnets. Alma E. Keith, 24 Kearny st. % REAR-ADMIRAL - MNAIR, The New Commander of the Asi- atic Squadron on Pos- sible Troubles. DOUBTFUL WHAT MAY OCCUR. He Holds a Long Conference With Retiring Rear-Admiral Carpenter. Rear-Admiral F. V. McNair, the newly appointed commander of the Asiatic squadron to succeed Rear-Admiral Car- penter, is at the Occidental. He will sail to-day on the Rio for hie post. Rear-Admiral Carpenter also arrived in the City yesterday. He came on the Gaelic from his former post at Nagasaki, and only stayed here two hours, when he pushed on toward Washington. Heis to be retired in February. During the two hours that Rear-Admiral Carpenter was here he and Rear-Admiral McNair were busy discussing the situation on the coast of Asia. The recent great victories of Japan were alluded to, as well as the possibility of Russia’s attempt of vention unsurpassed in its adaptation to the needs of a city fire department. Mr. Murphy has patented most of the devices that go to make up the combina- tion, but they have been brought to a state of perfection during .the past eight months by the almost unremitting labor of Mr. Smith., It is said the improved harness and appurtenances may be ob- tained, after the manufacture has begun, at the same price as those now 1n use. The improved apparatns 1s shown on dummy horses in the extempore fire de- partment fronting the City Hall, and is attracting a crowd of interested mechanics as well as ‘“fire laddies.” “We do away with the ropes and pulleys overhead and big weights at the side of the building,” said r. Smitk, as he pointed to the 10 and 12 inch wheels, adapted respectively to low and high ceil- ings, from which depended a Y-shaped hanger of one-half and three-eighths inch gaspipe, covered with steel, which, attached to the wheel by means of a light mixed wire cord, formed the spring-balance sub- stitute for the present cumbersome system of blocks and ropes. By. means of this the breeching falls directly overhead upon the horse without the use of straps drawing it to one side. The ordinary Fire Depart- ment harness is used to show how the articles invented may be adapted to it. The lock by which the collar is fastened consists of the steel imitation of nature’s ball and socket plan. It is without a spring, yet by means of the stem striking tEe dog and thus forcing it into a slot forms a solid lock, yet one which the pressure of a finger on the spoon releases. The rods and release cutoff, whereby the collar acts as a weight, Fushing the cutoff to the link at the end of the bar, releasing the collar, is another device considered by Fire Department Commiissioners as ad- mirable.

Naval matters in Wash- ington and elsewhere in the United States were also briefly discussed. It wasan in- teresting mee ting. “I was very glad to be able to see and talk to Rear-Admiral Carpenter,” said his successor of the Pacific squadron after-. ward. “I have hitherto spent some years ascommander of the Kearsarge and Omaha on the Asiatic Coast, and I went out there originally in 1857, at the time of the first trefity, so I understand that coast pretty well. “But notwithstanding this I learned much from the rear-admiral of much in- terest to me concerning the present situa- tion. He has lately been making his headquarters more at Nagasaki than at Yokobama, so he told me, and that will be my headquarters also. “‘There are eleven American war vessels in the Pacific squadron now, but one of these, the flagship Baltimore, will soon arrive here. *‘As far as Ican learn there is nothing strikingly new in the situation on the Asiatic coast. The dispatches that have been published from time to time lately have kept the people pretty well informed, except as to the things that were in embryo. “So far as the chances for any trouble taking place out there are concerned no one can tell. These things often spring up suddenly, like the outbreak of a mob, and the only thing to do at such a time is to be prepared to nip them in the bud. ‘I know of nothing that may occur soon. Still nobody can tell what might happen.

I was stationed at Mare Island, as you are aware, in 1886 and 1887, and I’ passed through here once in. 1890, but did not have time to see much of the City. With Cali- fornia and the coast I have for a long time, however, been pretty familiar. The rear-admiral is a very pleasant talker. He is ears old, and has had a notable career. e served on the Minne- soi#, in the East India squadron, after graduating at the naval academy. He be- came a lieutenant in 1861, was transferred to the Lroquois and took part in tne bom- bardment of Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip, the ca&t}ure of New Orleans, was in the passage both wna's of the Vicksburg batteries and helped destroy the Confed- erate ram Arkansas, He was also in the attack on Fort Fisher, and after the war was in the Brazil and South Atlantic squadrons. In 1872 he be- came commander of the Kearsarge and afterward of the Portsmouth and Omaha. He is 2 man of magnificent size and fine presence. The new commander of the Asiatic squadron said he regretted that he could not stay here longer. He will make no stops while en route to Nagasaki. A great many persons called on the yeteran naval officer vesterday. CLIPS O INA TWINKLING, New Device for the Fire Depart- ment Invented by a San Franciscan. It Congists of a Set of Harness Which, It Is Claimed, Can Be Adjusted With Safety and Speed. Chief Sullivan of the City Fire Depart- ment is having a new device placed in engine-house 2 on Bush street. It consists of a combination of improve- ments upon fire-department harness, the joint work of Thomas Murphy, an engineer at engine-house 16,-and E. P. Smiith, a Bos- ton mechanic who was sent here eight years ago by the John Souther Company of Boston to operate the steam shovels of the San Francisco Bridge Company. The device is being exhibited by the latter at 19 City Hall avenue. : Fire experts from the East have indorsed the Chief’s choice and pronounced the in- former almost equaling the latter in speed. The self-locker, which can be speedily ad- justed, is an aluminum casting joint, light and easily wielded. Two rapid hitches are shown, the one which requires simply the drawing out of the snap in the snapholder of the collar, in order to draw from the hanger and fasten the collar and breechingsecurely, being accomplished in less than half a sec- ond. The test bas been applied to horses in the Fire Department, and showstoa greater advantage there than on the unre- sponsive dummies. A similar procegs lifts the harness from the panting snimal, re- turned from a battle with the red demon. A patent snap, forming a verfect lock, and a device for adapting the drafttoa horse’s shoulder, the draft being varied one and a quarter inches by means of a screw workinF through a roll on the draft clips, thus preventing sore shoul- ders for the equines, are among the features of what competent judges pronounce a most praiseworthy combination, to be known as the San Francisco improved fire- harness, BEN DAWS BIG CAPTURE The Chief Market Inspector Seizes Seventeen Immature Calves. Maximum Penalty for a Crime of This Kind Is $500 and Six Months in Jail. Market Inspector Ben Davis made an important seizure of immature veal yes- terday. The victim of his vigilance was D. Biagini, a trader, and the seventeen calves he had aboard a big four-horse wagon proved to be the largest capture made by the inspector during his official career of Jess than two months. According to Mr. Davis, he has had his weather eye ‘on Biagini for the last four weeks, but whenever he came across him he had either just disposed of his un- wholesome meat or was just starting on his weekly visit to San Mateo County. Biagini'is a general trader. About once every ten days he loads up a big four-horse express-wagon with tinware and such other articles as peddlers generally carry. He then goes over into the adjucent county, disposing of his wares to such people as have meat of any description to sell. He has a fondness, however, for veal of the two and three days old variety. When all his goods are disposed of the return trip is begun, the calves being killed as he reaches each trading point. In consequence of this systematic way of doing business he reaches the City, Mr. Davis says, with a load of veal not exceed- ing ten days old. The law says that all veal offered for public sale must atleast four weeks old. £ i g Yesterday Davis received a quiet “tip” that Biagini was expected in with a load of veal. About 12:30 o’clock the trader came along, and when. near the corner of Sixteenth and Capp streets was stopped by the Market Inspector. He invited an inspection of his load, but when Davis started to climb on his wagon he burst into tears and begged piteously not to be ar- rested. An examination of the contents of the wagon revealed seventeen calves, not one of which was exceeding ten days old. The heads and feet were gone, but there was other evidence to show that the veal was of improper maturity. Davis escorted Biagini to the Seventeenth-street station, where be was booked on a charge of violat- ing section 18, order 1601, Board of Super- visors. The fnspeclor assumed charge of the wagon-and calves, and will hold them as evidence. The case has not yet been assigned, but will probably come up before Judge Campbell to-day. . Sol Levy, arrested g&r,hsxahnt Market Inspector Rivers on ‘ednesday last, on a charge of selling diseased meat, was con- victed _in Judge Campbell’s.court yester- day. He will be sentenced to-day. Freeholders’ Expenses Paid. The Finance Committee of the Board of Su- ervisors passed on the expense bill of the gonrd of Freeholders while engaged in fram- lng the proposed new charter yesterday and ordered it paid. The total amouni was $8766 50. YOUNG'S LATEST ACTION, Auditor Broderick Is Asked to Withhold a Salary § Warrant, POWER OF THE SUPERVISORS. Superintendent of Schools Babcock May Have Trouble in Getting His Pay. | It seems evident that Charles S. Young, who was recently appointed Superintend- ent of Public Schools by the Board of Supervisors, does not intend to give up his hopes of gaining the office except after a hard struggle. He has made his formal demand for the office from Madison Bab- cock, the incumbent and appointee of the Board of Education, and is now endeavor- ing to keep Mr. Babcock out of the salary attached to the office. Attorney Alva Watt, who represents Mr. Young, called on Auditor Broderick yes- terday and requested that the latter refuse Mr. Babcock to draw his money from the treasury. A spirited argument was the result, and while the attorney did not succeed in pre- venting the signing of the precious docu- ment, he gaineé a fiehy that may cause Mr. Babcock some inconvenience, if noth- ing else. Mr. Watt claimed that the law bore out Mr. Young'’s contention that the Board of Supervisors was the only power having a legal right to appoint a Superintendent of Schools and that an appointment by the Board of Education was of no more force | or moment than as if it had been made by the Mayor. He warned the Auditor that | in case the courts decided that Mr. Young’s position was correct he would be compelied to return to the treasury all moneys paid | out to Mr. Babcock as Superintendent. | Mr. Broderick replied that as no decision | in the matter had been made by compe- tent authority he was secure in his posi- | tion, and that as' Mr. Babcock was the | holder of a certificate entitling him to the office, as far as he knew, he would sign the warrant, in fact had already done so. In order to give the attorney time to protect his client’s interests, however, he consented to hold_the document until this noon to give Mr. Young time to swear out an injunction if he desires to do so. Mr. Babcock said yesterday that he had no apprehension as to the ultimate result of the matter, but that he desired the case decided at the earliest possible moment so that the business of the office and his own affairs might go on without further inter- ruption. In Norway the horses are broken in by women. They make pets of them first, feeding the colts out of their own hands and teaching them to follow like dogs. 11 NEW TO-DAY.
