The tug has been pretty well fixed up. She has a new wheelhouse, at least it looks new with 1ts coat of white paint, and new boilers are being put into her. She has also a new shoe. Those who are able to give information say that she is going down to San Salvador to embark in the business of towing lighters for the Central American Development Company, but this avowed object in view did not assure Cap- 1 Donaldson, and when he turned over they ki to Captain Green his reason for doing go was that “‘the arrangements did not suit him.” About the best speed the little tng has been known to make is thirteen knots an hour. She can stand a good sea and ail kinds of weather. Fer quite a while the Katie O'Neill lay at Main-street wharf waiting for a job. It came and with 1t a complete overhauling—a new name, and masters that describe the weather in a different tongue and with more music and less emphasis than she bas been accus- tomed to. The programme is for the four Central American generals to board her when they get ready, sail for San Salvador if the cus- toms officers can be satisfied to clear her, stop at Acagulco on the way,snd after that—well, they know that best, but “‘tow- ing lighters’” is their story. She will sail under the American flag. There are water-front stories to the effect that the first thing she will do upon ar- rival at Acapulco is to take Antonio Lzeta aboard, and the next thing to be accomplished is to effect a landing on the Salvadoran coast, where Ezeta’s sympa- thizers are prepared to welcome him and rally to his side of the Presidential con- A Antonio | plotting since then, | | troversy. | and needs X in has ambitions of his own zeta in his business. MRS. BELL'S BILLS. They Are Being Exploited in Judge Coffey’s Court. The claims of D. Samuels against the estate of Thomas Bell were before Judge Coffey yesterday. The claims aggregate over $16,000, and reach over a space of ¢ ten years. The claims were all acknowledged by Mrs. Teresa Bell, the widow, but though she contracted them she refuses to pay them. The claims from every source which are before the court amount up to over $200,- 000, and the coutention of the claimants is that some of the valuable real property belonging to the estate should be sold to assistin the payment. Mrs. Bell does not want to sell any of the real estate, for, she s, there are funds sufficient to pay ail 1ims if the creditors will be reasonable, Experience has led them to believe, bow- ever, that Mrs. Bell does not want to pay, and so the suit is being pressed. < As a sample of the claims against ber, and the extravagant manner in which the widow spends money, the bill of P. F. Butler, the milliner, may be cited. The bill includes the months from February to October, 1892, and it shows that she pur- ch. 1 ninety-seven hats in that time. There are lace hats, black hats, gray, green and brown hats, sailor hats, bonnets, der- bys, felt hats, theater hats, street and call- | ing hats, hats with plumes, with aigrettes, with flowers and with bons, hats for | herself, for children, for friends, hats re- | trimmed, reshaped, remodeled: hats big and little, cheap and expensive, plain and with all manner of ornaments upon them, |and the total is $1201. She has not paid | the bill yet, and Mr. Butler is one of the 1 ¢l ants. 1t wiil be a week before all the s creditors are satisfied. ¢ SHEERAN WILL RESIGH, Depositors of/ 7fl;<;I:eople 's Home l Bank Were Told so Last | Night.

About 150 of the depositorsin the Peo- ple’s Home Savings Bank in liquidation { met in Foresters’ buiiding last evening to { hear the report cf the executive committee | and ascertain the condition of the bank’s | affairsat the time. T. H. McCarthy, chair- | man of the committee, presided ; the other members present were F. Kendall, Thomas Mahoney, A. L. Cassavan, N. Morcaum and T. 8. Williams. Secretary Kendall read a lengthy report what the committee has done iu con- n with the management of the bank, the litigation that is pending and what v 1 the matter of selling the Pa- property, all of which bas been om time to time through the col- | citic given umns of THE CaLL.

He liams with having told a whose book calls for $600 not to his book over to the trust company. ilso charged that Chairman MeCarthy anounced he would resign, but that fterward declared that he would not until after the affairs hdd been rd up. He wanted to know what 1 the change. * said Chairman McCarthy, with “he’s giving all the away.’ Mr. representative on -t Williams, who is the depositors’ he board of directors, 2 ng had been post- of the depositors’ who suggested that.in view of negotiations a meeting would be iwise and would do much more harm than good. He pro- nounced as senseless the inference that the trust company’s gold had anything to do with the matter. He then entered into a long account of what had been done by the committee and tnen read figures entered in the books of the company since Sheehan had been in charge, showing that in a period of seven months the sum of $42,995 of the peovle’s money hud been expended. Of t Sheehan received $4000 .and Attorney Watt $4700 as galary. The trust company has suc- ceeded in reducing the waste of money and cutting expenses down to $445 month. He also read items from the book to show how Sheehan wasted money. One item in the aggregate was $97 for adver- tising the sale of vaults. The most of this was given to weekly papers that were paid more than the dailies, and which the speaker said ‘‘were papers .in which per- sons wishing to buy bank vaults would never seek the advertisement of such.” He charged that Sheehan. paid out money uselessly under the guise of exam- ination of mortgages and lands to men were politicians He also referred to $500 paid toT. Carl Speliing and said: “This matter remains unanswered. Shee- han has not answered. He threatened to prosecute me criminally for what I said ip this matter, but he hasnot done so.” In regard to the Pacitic Bank property he said that some of the bids made some time ago were rejected although the sum of $136,000 had been offered for it. William Marlowe, a depositor, wanted to know why $50,000 belonging to the de- positors, now with the trust company, was not distributed. A. D. Pike declared that Mr. Maloney, who presented the minority report, meant well, but sometimes talks through his hat. Mr. Williams denied the charge of hav- ing advised a $600 depositor, but admitted having told a $10 depositor that his amount was so small that it was not worth the bother of transfer. He said that if any depositor was dissatished with his course and would make a motion for him to resign he would do so. Mr. Pike announced that after a careful examination he had arrived at the conclu- sion that in time the depositors would re- ceive in all about 55 cents on_the dollar. The litigation over the Pacific Bank would prevent the giving of a dividend at Christ- mas. He did not think it would be wise at this time to ask for a distribution of the $50,000 alluded to by Mr. Marlowe. A motion to increase the commiittee to fifteen was lost, as was one to instruct the committee to wait on capitalists and. ask them to bid o the Pacific Bank property. Mr. Pike said that Sheehan had to Safe Deposit and Trust Com- | «d two months | secrets | him if the depositors did not get a dividend soon he would resign. G. Conani, a real-estate man and de- positor, gave it as his opinion that the Pa- cific Bank property was worta more than has been offered for it. J. A. Foster offered a resolution to the effect that the depositors urge the Bank Commissioners to demsnd of the directors of the bank that the expenses of manage- ment be reduced to $200 a month. This was unanimously adopted. A vote of confidence in the committee was adopted. i A depositor made the statement that General Sheehan had told him he would resign very soon. . S —————— SOLICITORS GET TANGLED. The Harbor Commissioners Have a Chinese Puzzle on Their Hands. The runuers for the Pacific Transfer Company and Morton’s Special Delivery bad another battle royal yesterday, but on this occasion it was Morton who was on the defensive and the transfer men were the aggressors. The whole matter is very comphcated, and there will be a lively wrangle over it at the meeting of the Harbor Commissioners this afternoon. Tirey L. Ford, the board’s attorney, is to give an opinion, and the chances are that all runners and solicitors will be barred irom the wharves while a ship is docking and the passengers landing. The present status of affairs is about as follow. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company 1ents Broadway wharves 1 and 2 from the State, and for a consideration they grant the Pacific Transfer Company the exclusive right of working their steam- ers, and also those of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The San Fran- cisco and North Pacific Railroad Company rents part of the water front and one of the ferry slips from the State, and for a con- | sideration it also gave Morton’s Special | Delivery the privilege of working the steamers When Morton’s men invaded the Broad- way wharves Superintendent Bennett of the steamship company ordered them off. They refused to go and were put off. Then Morton got out an injunction, and when the case came to trial the court held that the exclusive use of the front could not be granted to any one firm or individual. | Ever since Morton’s runners have been swarming on the steamship company’s wharves, and in order to secure the trade the Transter men have to board the steam- ers in the bay. The new phase in the case came up yes- terday. Morton’s men were working' the steamer Tiburon, and one of the Pacific | Transfer Company’s men jumped the | fence and began soliciting. The attention | of Agent A. F. Magrain was drawn to the | matter and he ordered the runner off. He refused to go and a lively scramble ensued. The Morton men went to the agent’s as- nce, and Gus White, the Transfer man, was thrown out. Then other runpers came up and demanded admittance, but the sight of Sergeant Tom Mahoney soon | of-Market DAGEETT'S POLITICAL AX, Alex. Greggains, the Buckleyite, Is Discharged From the Mint. HE DIDNT OBEY ORDERS. A Story of Daggett’s Municipal *Push” Politics in the Thirtieth District. Superintendent of the Mint Daggett has ““fired”’ Alex. Greggains from his$d4a day job in the Mint for displaying *per- nicious activity’” in tbe interest of Chris Buckley.

The discharge of a man from the United States Mint because be didn’t do as he was told with the ‘push’” in a south-of- Market-street district will give Congress- man Maguire some more ammunition, and as the victim is a very valuable and very popular district politician and a loyal friend of Buckley, the incident will in- tensify the bitter and rapidly grewing hostility to Daggett among "the Buckley- ites and other elements of the party. Alex. Greggains is a big, good-natured and quite good-looking fellow, who has long been leader of the Fire Department “push,” as it is termed, in a large soutn- region, especially in - the Thirtieth District. He used to bein the Fire Department and is now a strong leader among the boys. He can organize asmall regiment and do valiant practical | politics most any time for the chief to whom he gives his fealty for thick or thin. When he was doing politics most regu- larly Buckley and Rainey were partners, and perbaps they equally shared his re- spect and allegiance.

The Commissioners are | now in a quandary, as according to the ruling of the court they cannot bar any one | from the wharves, nor can they grant the Supreme Court. 1 Mrs. Morrison Is Not Allowed to Re- pensation. Judge Daingerfield has decided the suit of Mrs. Morrison against Mrs, Rodgers by parties, and which is the basis of the suit, llegal agreement. The suit was for $280,000 for services rendered by Mrs. | between Mrs. Rodgers, then Miss Green, | and the late Alexander Montgomery. | At the time of the contract the then | Miss Green had Montgomery’s promise that be would marry her, but as he seemed unwilling to fulfill the promise given she cured the offices of her sister in the mat- ter, and her sister brought about the join- | ing of the two. Mrs. Morrison claimed that her sister had promised her ample compensation for her services, and al- though she came into over $1,000,000 by the marriage, she has never recognized the obligation she was under. The ¢on- tention was that the contract was illegal, | as being a marriage brokerage contract, and this view of counsel was adopted by the court. aside by the sustaining of the defendant’s demurrer, and 1n rendering his decision Judge Daingerfield says, among other things: 1f Montgomery bad wn of plaintifi’s contract before his marriage he probably would have never married the defendant. ‘At an: rate the contract is of a class whose object i generally best achieved when the contract i secret. It is no unswer to say that he was morally bound to marry the defendant. The contract is substantially like a marriage brok- erage contract. When Montgomery declined to keep his promise to marry, the defendant counld not compel a specific performance of the con- tract. this promis If he chose to pay the damages rather than consummate the marriage, his legal obligations would be fulfilled upon such payment. his moral obligations were we do not know and are not concerned with. The parties were as far apart legally when plaintifi’s aid was invoked as they would have been if no promise or cohabitation hed ever existed. At this stage plaintiff succeeded in procuring & new contract. The transaction was essentially one of marriage brokerage. Courts look askanceat agen, that are most effective when the fact of agency is most secret. Hired agents must not interfere with the sacred affairs of the ind, but gives damages for breach of taith and business honor of their principals without hope of aid from the courts. FRANK GOBEY DEAD. Pneumonia Cuts Short the Well-Known Saloon-Keeper's Life. Frank Gobey, the well-known saloon- keeper, died yesterday at his home, 236 Sutter street, from pneumonia. He was ill only three days. Gobey was born in Canada nearly fifty-seven years ago and he came to this coast in 1850. Like the pi neers of those times, he went to the inte- rior and followed mining for twelve or fifteen years with varied success, With™ sufficient capital he came to this city and started in the saloon business, which he and his brother, Jesse (iobe: have followed ever since, acquiring a co siderable fortune. In 1877 Gobey estab- lished the saloon at 228 Sutter street, and his patrons have made his name known all over the coast. Gobey leaves a daugh- ter, wno is now in Rhode Islana visiting his mother and sisters. He went East re- cently to see the family and returned only three days ago. It is believed that he con- tracted the disease while crossing the mountains. e, Confinement and Hard Work Indoors, particularly in the sitting posture, are far more prejudicial to bealth than excessive muscular exertion In the open alr.

Daggett never told me to get into his fight after that time when he stood everybody up and told them to work for Watkins against O’Brien, when that election came off a few weeks ago.

I was off that day to go to a funeral, and Daggett sent the watch- man out to hunt me up and bring me to his office. He said that he wanted Wat- kins elected and that he was fighting Buckley. I told kim Buckley and Rainey my friends. He said Rainey ighting Buckley. I said that Rainey wasn’t; he said that he was. If Rainey was fighting Buckley I didn’t know it then.

I says, ‘Well, it’s too late now for-me to getout and get anybody to switch that I've asked to vote for O’Brien,” but he asked me to see what I could do. No, he didn’t make any threats, but he said things that you would know meant something. ““Well, I got out and perhaps I did what I could and perhaps I couldn’t do much. | I was around there at the meeting that | night, but I saw they had 1t and I kept still.

A CARPENTERS’ VICTORY Contractor Hansbrough Agrees to Pay Standard Wages on the Haight- Street School. The organized carpenters and joiners of this City have won a victory. Contractor G. W. Hansbrough, who has the contract to erect the eight-classroom schoolbouse on Haight street, near Masonic avenue, has come to terms, and the carpenters who were called off the job Saturday night re- turned to work yesterday morning. The strike that threatened to be lasting and annoying was quickly settled by the con- tractor acceeding to the men’s demand for higher wages. When the carpenters went to work a week ago they were a little uneasy, he- cause they feared that Hansbrough would not pay the standard wages of §3 a day minimu On Saturday night their fears were realized by the contractor paying but $2 50. The situation was reported to Business Agent Johnson, who cailed the men out and told them not to return to work until the trouble was settled. An account of the difficulty was pub- lished in Sunday’s CaLL and 16.000 carpen- ters and innumerable other union work- men watched for the outcome with a keen interest. The union had only a few weeks before adopted a rule that $3 should be the wages for a day’s work of eight hours, ana this, being City work, was about the first large job to cause trouble cn the score of wages. There was great surprise that Hansbrough, who before he became a con- tractor was a union carpenter, should by his action become a ‘‘cheap” man. Early yesterdny morning Business Agent Johnson, representing the District Council of Carpenters and Joiners, was on the ground, accompanied by the men he had called out, the men going back for their tools. § Hansbrough was there ahead of them. The conversation between the contractor and the business agent was brief and to the point, the former readily agreeing to pay the standard wages demanded. Five minutes later the whole force was at work again, making the chips fly and tbe ham- mers ring. All the carpentersare delighted that the threatened trouble should have been averted so easily and speedily. — HOUSE-RENTING RATES, Real Estate Agents Meet to Agree Upon a Uniform Commission. The Profits of the “To Let” Business Depend Upon the Landlord’s Liberality. An informal meeting of prominent real estate men took place last night in the office of Baldwin & Hammond at 10 Mont- gomery street for the purpose of agreeing upon a uniform commissicn for house- renting. Heretofore agents have worked to a disadvantage in that they have been subject to the peculiar location of the property to be leased and to the liberality or anxiety of the landlord. In the matter of a proposed sale the owner, when he places the property in the hands of the real estate man, is duly bound to abide by his agreement, and no transaction can take place outside of the actual sale, butin renting a landlord may rent his house and the agent may find his “To Let” bill on the building torn down by the new tenant or the landlord without any official or business notification. The rates of commission have swung all around 10 per cent—sometimes higher, but more often lower—and the real estate agents have come to the conclusion that this matter wiil bear regulation. The meeting was attended by representatives of the tirms of Bovee, Toy & Co., O’Farrell & Co., Shainwald & Buckbee, 0. F.’ von Rhein, A.J.Rich & Co. and Baldwin & Hammond. % G. D. Toy was chosen chairman ,nnd S. Buckbee secretary. A number of sueges- tions were made as to a uniform rate, but nothing definite was agreed upon. It was the sense of the meeting that the agent is getting somewhat the worst of the house- renting business, and if the matter was not regulated to a uniform rate the house- owner will be permitted to dispose of his own building and “dicker with his tenants in accordance with their desire to get un- der a roof, and also in accordance with their means and tastes. A member of Umbsen & Co. expressed his doubts as to anything like success coming from the conference of real estate men. Therate of commission, he thought, would be practically governed by peculiar conditions, the prominent and general one being the landlord’s anxiety to find a renter and the activity he displayed in get- ting that tenant himself and getting out of the 10 per cent commission. The meeting adjourned without any- thing being definitely settled except that house-renting to the agent was not a method of acquiring wealth. Another meeting will be held at Bal win & Hammond’s office on the evening of December 21. HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL. J A Doestin, Palo Alto J Woodburn, Sacto J Kienk.

HE IS CHARGED WITH FORGERY. Passed Checks Purporting to Be Signed by Mrs. Bell, Widow of the Late Capitalist. Bayard Saville was brought fromr Oak- land last evening by Sergeant Duncan and booked at the City Prison on the charge of forgery. On November 4 Saville went to H. P. ‘Wakelee's drug-store, on Polk and Sutter streets, and asked H. L. Pockman, the manager, 1o cash a check for $75. The check was drawn on the Bank of Califor- nia, and puroorted to be signed by Teresa Bell, widow of the late Thomas Bell, the capitalist. Pockman knew Saville as an employe of Mrs. Bell, and as he did not have the money himself he crossed overto the office of the Sutter-street Railroad Company and got the check cashed by Secretary Stevens. Stevens had occasion to go downtown, and he presented the check at the bank for payment. To his surprise he was told it was worthless. Saville had meantime returned to Wake- lee’s drugstore znd asked Pockman to oblige him by cashing another check for $600. While they were talking Stevens entered the store and informed Saville that the bank refused to cash the check. Sa- ville expressed his regret and said Mrs. Bell muet have made a mistake by getting hoid of the wrong checkbook. He would go at once and see about it and would leave his valise just to show that he would re- turn. He did not return, and when the valise was opened it was found to contain two or thrée shirts and some pairs of socks. A few days later Saville presented a check for §650 on the Bank of California signed by Mrs. Bell to William McCracken of the L?ck House Laundry. McCracken advanced him $30 and $20 at different times on the check and then he found it was worthless. He reported the matter to the police and Detective Ross Whittaker was detailed on the case. Whittaker as- certained that Saville had gone across the bay, and he sent his description to the po- lice in Oakland and Alameda. Detective Denny Holland arrested him on Broadway, Oakland, yesterday morn- ing. Holland had learned that a man answering Saville’s description had been getting money from the Young Men’s Christian Association, Roman Catholic priests and prominent citizens on the plea | that he wasa penitent ex-convict, so he determined to look out for him. When he met him on Broadway he placed him under arrest. Saville made a grab for a revolver that wasin his hip pocket, but Holland was too quick for him. *Let me have 1t,” pleaded Saville. “I don’t want to injure you, but I want to end my miserable existence.”” Holland kept hold of the weapon, how- ever, ard._took his prisoner to the City Prison. He then telephoned to police headquarters here and Sergeant Duncan ‘was sent to bring him over. ‘Wakelee, the druggist, has no intention of prosecuting him, but McCracken swore to a complaint charging bim with forgery. Saville came here seven or eight years ago with a wife, who was a victim of con- sumption, and shortly after taking up their residence here shedied. He did not come under the notice of the police till the fall of 1891. On August 31 he presented forged letters of introduction to the late Senator James G. Fair, and on the strength of them he got $500. He was arrested for obtaining money by false pretenses, and on October 12 he” was sentenced to three years in San Quentin. He was discharged on January 13, 1894, and_soon afterward secured employment on Mrs. Bell’s ranch, in Napa County, where he remained till about two months ago. It was through his employment on this ranch that Pockman and McCracken got acquainted with him. He is a well-educated, fine-looking man, of good address, and is said to belong to a wealthy famly in Maryland. Captain Lees says heis one of the cleverest confi- dence-men that has ever visited the coast, and could get money out of the most stony- hearted of men by his nerve and plausible ways. Saville, when seen in the City Prison, re- fused to say anything. He had not yet consuited an attorney, nor had heseen any of his friends.
