The members of the committee, how- ever, were not in favor of the Industrial School Tract, and intimated that unless means could be devised to procure a site without paying for it they would settle on the Aimshouse property. Mayor Sutro’s face brightened up when the talk of donating a site began, and he finally said: : “Why, if that is all you want I will give the City a fine site—a whole block, if neces- sary.” . The committee could not express their acceptance fast enough, and the Mayor at | once procured a map and began looking for a suitable block. He soon pitched on one in the sand dunes near the ocean, but the committee objected on account of its exposed position. *‘All right,” said the Mayor, ‘‘postpone this matter for two weeks and I will iook up a site that you will be pleased with.” This was agreed to by the committee, the Mayor being given to understand that if he could induce the owner of Shag Rock to donate that islet to the City or could procure a location near the bay shore, | either would be acceptable. SLAVES T0 RETURN HOME, The “Blackbirding” Business of the Steamer Montserrat Revived. A DISASTROUS EXPERIMENT. | Of Six Hundred Adults Taken From the Scuth Less Than Half Remain. The employment of South Sea Island | slave labor in the coffee plantations of | girls, made a desperate attempt yesterday to assault Judge Conlan in court. Thomp- son has three times tried to commit su cide since his arrest, and on Thursday was examined by the Commissioners in In- sanity, who decided that he was sane. Yesterday his preliminary examination was resumed in Judge Conlan’s Police Court. When he was taken into court it was noticed that he seemed to be very much excited, and glared at the Judge and officers of the court. Flora Bell Wilson and Maud Strauss had testified. While they were giving their evidence Thompson swore at them and talked excitedly and incolerently. Mabel Strauss was called to the stand, and while Maud was signing her name Thompson swore savagely at her and moved about in | his seat and grasped at the arms of the chair. Then suddenly, without warning, he sprang to the top of the table in front | of the clerk, grasped one of the big gas fix- | tures, trying to wrench it loose and hurl it at the Judge. Then he turned to another lamp, ana partly broke that off when he was seized {tion thay | by Officers Morris Bean, Bailiff Keily and | | others. Half a dozen police officers had a hard struggle to handcuff him. He raved and struggled furiously and irothed at the mouth. Judge Conlan ordered him taken back and put in a padded cell. The Judge says that he has changed his mind now, and believes that Thompson is insane. He noticed that the prisoner glared at him when he came into court, and then he ex- pected a scene. Clerk Watson was not unprepared. “When I arraigned him he was glaring savagely,and I expected trouble,” hesaid. “He kept on looking so savagely that I | concluded that I had better lookout. Sol moved the mucilage-bottle to a place of safety and started out of the room.” Had Thompson succeeded in breaking | loose one of the heavy gas fixtures he | would have had a dangerous missile to [ hurl at the Judge. Three of Thompson's little victims, who | were in the courtroom during the scene, screamned and rushed out. Judge Conlan says that the Insanity | Commissioners will have to make another investigation before he will proceed with | Thompson’s examination. WILL DOWATE A LOCHTION EMayor Sutro Agrees to Give to the City a Pesthouse Site. He Will Thus Prevent the Building of the Hospital Near the Almshouse. Mayor Sutro thinks he has found a way | out of the dilemma he finds himself in re- garding the future site of the Pesthouse. He will donate a block of land to the City, and thus prevent the Supervisors from lo- cating the objectionable hospital on the Almshouse Tract in close proximity to some of bis valuable residence property. The matter came up before the meeting of the Health and Police Committee ves- terday, and the members evinced an in- clination to settle on the Almshouse prop- erty, which embraces some sixty acres, as a site. Mayor Sutro at once objected, and said that the present building could be put in good condition for $1000. The committee would not lister to any such proposition, however, nor would it hear of putting the patients in a hulk anchored in the bay. “Then,” said the Mayor, “I think we had best sciect a site on Angle Island.” Mr. Sutro was not at all abashed when informed tbat General Miles had put the stamp of his disapproval on any such pro- ject, but said ttiat a site might be pur- chased on the bay shore. On Lis atten- tion being called to the fact that the Su- preme Court had decided that the Super- visors have no ;owcr to buy a site for a Pesthouse he said that he thought the In- HE TALKED OF REFORM, | Dr. Martyn Discusses Essential | Factors in Municipal i Government. Review of the Origin and Success of the Movement in | Chicago. | Dr. Martyn, the Parkhurst of Chicago, | told something of what he knows about municipal government at a meeting of the Civic Federation in the assembly-room of the Mills building last night. “What isa city?”’ inquired the distin- | guished speaker. ‘‘A city is a corporation,” he continued, “in whick every citizen is a stockholder. The Mayor and the Supervisors are a | board of directors. To them is intrusted the preservation of law and order; they are the safeguard of life, liberty and | property.” The speaker reviewed the old policy of removing heads of departments alone when the administration of the General | Government had c'anged. The routine clerks held their places. “It was during Washington’s adminis- tration,” he said, ‘‘that parties took their rise, and this policy has continued down to our day.. Adams, Monroe and others held that the qualification for office was honesty, capacity and loyalty to the con- | stitution. | ‘It was under the rule, ‘To the victors | belong the spoils,” that Jackson turned out his political enemies and put in his friends. Such a policy would wreck heaven and convert the archangel into a wire-puller.” The speaker then gave a history of the reform movement at Chicago, and declared that there were no offices except those of the chiefs of departments that were not filled according to civil service regulations. He said that there was hardly a form of vice that was not domesticated in Chicago a year ago. “The Civic Federation of Chicago,” he said, “began with a central council of 100 and finally the city was districted. Promi- nent bankers, clergymen of all denomina- tions, professional and business men, all were brought into the organization, which was as perfectly organized as any political party in the city, and when we finished our work there was not an open gambling den in the city of Chicago.” Dr. Martyn spoke in praise of the Chi- cago press. He declared that the chief ob- stacles in the way of municipal reform were liquor, foreign immigration ana pub- lic aRuL!xy. J. M. Reynolds disputed the doctor on these points. He said that the liquor traffic in itself was an evil and not a cause. Then he proceeded to throw a few single- tax bombs into the meeting when Dr. Dille fell upon him. Dr. Dille stated that the moral atmos- phere of San Francisco had cleared con- siderably during the last eighteen months, and he felt that a clean-cut municipal- reform ticket could win out in San Fran- i cisco. TO ENFORCE A GRADE. Mandate Asked by Property-Owners to Compel Action. N. H. Spaulding bas petitioned the Su- perior Court for a writ of mandamus com- | pelling the Supervisors to establish a grade on Liberty street, between Sanchez and Noe, in accordance with a petition aiready presented to the board. The complainant avers that there was but one dissenting voice in the whole vicinity when the petition was submitted, and on this one protest the Supervisors refused to establish the grade. Itis further charged that this opposition is due to ill- will and enmity, and the property-owner who opposes has been heard to say that he will have the street cut down at least sixty feet, and so destroy the right of ingress and egress to petitioner's property. An alternative writ was granted. Guatemala and San Salvador bas proved to be a dismal failure. The natives per- formed the work all right, but the climate was against them and many died. Out of | 360 or 400 who came here from the Gilbert group only 240 will go back. Of these 218 are adults, the remaining twenty-two | being children who have been born on the coffee plantations. Several years agd the idea of importing South Sea [slanders into Central America | was exploited. The coffee-planters were | pleasea with the idea, and the brig Tahiti | was chartered togo on a *‘blackbirding’ expedition. She secured over 200 natives | in the Gilbert and Marquesas groups, but | on the run to San Jose de Guatemala she | turned turtle during a gale in the Gulf of | California and every soul on board was | drowned. The planters were not daunted by the failure, however, and the steamer Mont- serrat was sent to the southern seas on | another man hunt. Captain Blackburn | met with many difficulties, as the native chiefs were suspicious and very few men | would volunteer to go into exile. By means of presents and specious promises about 400 natives were finally induced to take passage on the Montserrat. These were not all picked up on one island, but from villages scattered all over the South Pacific.

I Mrs. Wilson Kept a Pacific-Street'} Apartment-House Where Gay Revels Took Place. There is prospect of a contest over the | estate of Mrs. Mary Wilson, a colored woman who died in this City in Septem- ber, 1894, leaving property valued at about $50,000. Mrs. Wilson was a colored woman of rather prepossassing appearance, and kept a lodging-house on Pacific street that at- tained some noteriety owing to the gay | revels that took place there. Mrs. Wilson prospered, and was during her latter days possessed of a comfortable bank account which was augmented when her mother, a woman several shades darker than herself, died, leaving a will | which bequeathed her daughter every thing. The daughter invested much of | her money in Pacific-street real estate, which advaneed in value until it is now estimated to be worth $40,000 or more. Mrs. Wilson finally died, but before her death she called in Attorney Joseph E. Barry, now Justice of the Peace, and made her will. She bequeathed her entire estate, consisting of $8000 1n bank and the real estate, to Mrs. H. Chamberlain, a sis- ter of ex-Tax Collector W. H. Ford, who now conducts the Sutherland and Beres- ford apartment-houses. Considerable surprise was manifested at the fime that M Wilson shoutd have picked out Mrs. Chamberlain as her sole legatee, but it was accounted for on the hypothesis that Mrs. Chamberiain had be- friended ber at some period of her career and that she manifested her gratitude in substantial manner. The will was taken into the Probate Court and the Pablic Administrator took charge of the estate. The settlement was apparently proceed- ing in a satisfactory manner when word was received by a local firm of attorneys in this City that the deceased had relatives in her old home in North Carclina who were making inquiries about the estate, having learned that Mrs. Wilson was dead. CorrespondenceTresulted, and it was finally learned that a negro who claims to be Mrs. Wilson’s brother was the one who was making inquiries. The brother believes that he is entitled to a share of | the estate and will make an effort to get it ISLANDERS BACK FROM THE GU [Sketched by a » THE AMERICAN BARK HELEN W.

Captain Blackburn delivered his cargo at San Jose d» Guatemalg, but neither he nor his vessel ever had any good luck thereafter. Several ventures he embarked in failed, and finally the Montserrat, in company with the steamer Keweenaw, went down in a storm with all on board off Cape Flattery. lackburn was under contract with the Guatemalan coffee-planters to return the natives to their homes as soon as their term of servitude expired, but as both he and his vessel are gone some other means of conveyance had to be found. Agents came here on the Panama steamers sev- eral weeks ago and sttempts have been made during the past ten _days to charter various vesseis. Atone time it was said that the brig Percy Edwards had been chartered, but when the money question came to be discussed the coffée-planters would not pay the sum demanded.

The fact | that the will was signed simply with an X | mark will also be taken into consideration as tending to show that Mrs. Wilson was ignorant and capable of being influenced.

IN THE HANDS OF THE SHERIFF. Greenzweig Borrowed Large Sums of Money and Then Left for the East. The firm of George Greenzweig & Co., wholesale jewelers, at 2 and 4 Sutter street, was attached yesterday on claims aggre- | gating $33,638. Greenzweig himself in New York, and as his representative here would not discuss the attachments it could not be positively learned whether the incident would be followed by failure. The “Co.” in the firm’s name was merely inal, as Greenzweig had no partner. The only one here yesterday who seemed to understand the affairs was a bookkeeper, | who declined to make any statemen: re- garding the standing of the house in his | employer’s absense. | It was only too easily seen, however, from the nature of the attachments that Greenzweig was in financial difficulties, since in each case the indebtedness sought to be protected by process of law was for borrowed money. Since the first of the | year Greenzweig gave his note for large sums; the balance was of long standing. To recover them two suits were com- menced by Reinstein & Eisner yesterday, one for H. W. Neubauer, tne other suit for R. R. Fogel & Co. of New York. The suit of Neubauer represents $3000 loaned by H. W. Neubauer & Co. January 27, 1892, with interest at the rate of 7 per cent. None of the principal norinterest has been paid. Neubauer is also acting in this suit as the assignee of Schwabacher Bros. & Co., who held George Greenzweig & Co.'s notes for the following amounts: $1000 borrowed April 15, 1895, with interest at 7 rowed April 11, 1895, with interest at 7 per cent. Neubauer is also the assignee of W. H. Brewer, who held a note for $5000 bor- rowed January 7, 1896, with interest at 8 | per cent. Also claims of the Bank of Cali- fornia representing $4500 loaned Greenz- weig on promissory notes, one January 7, 1896, for $4500, and” another executed Jan- uary 9, 1896, for $2500, both at 7 per cent. The suit of Fogel & Co. is for $7658 33, a promissory note executed by Greenzweig January 9, 1896. ! Attachments were levied upon the stock | in the store on Sutter street, upon Greenz- | weig’s home, 2 California street, and upon some lots outside lands of little value. The store was closed immediately the Sheriff entered into possession, but an | estimate of the value of the stock will be | made to-day, and at the same time Rein- | stein & Eisner will begin an investigation of the assets and liabilities of the house. | It was believed by the attorneys that there | were otner creditors who would press | claims against the firm, but little or noth- | ing could be done until insolvency pro ceedings were begun. | It was supposed that Greenzweig was in | New York, but no definite information on | his whereabouts could be obtained. At the Bradstreet Commercial Agency it was | learned that Greenzweig had maintained a good reputation in the b ess commu nity and wmore particularly among whole- sale jewelry houses, for having paid his debts promptly. The only reason thap could be advanced for his failure to meeét his notes was the depression in the jew- elry business, which for some time past has suffered keenly and felt the effect of dull times perhaps more directly than other branches of trade. BREAKING A BUTTERFLY. Character and Practice of Church Entertainments Questioned. Rev. Hobart Chetwood Says the Road to Hell From Church Festivi- ties Is Easy. * ‘Breaking a Butterfly’ for the benefit of St. James Episcopal Church.” That is the kind of a sign I saw on a public build- ing in San Francisco soon after I came to the City. To say I was shocked at this ex- hibition of what at the least was bad taste is putting it mildly,” said Rev. Hobart Chetwood. The Episcopal divine was talking of the character of the majority of church entertainments and the practice of giving them. Mr. Chetwood was the rector of St. Paul’s Church, Oakland, for eleven years. Prior to that time he had charze of churches at Santa Barbara and San Diego and at Newburg, N. Y. He resigned the charge of St. James mission, this City, re- cently because of the insistence of some of its members in the matter of giving enter- tainments for the purpose of raising money. ‘“‘Bishop Nichois and I understand each other,’” said Mr. Chetwood yesterday. *I believe that he, like many other Bishops, deprecates the practice of giving pay entertainments, but does not see exactly how they can be dispensed with at this time and in this place. - “I am with that Eastern Bishop who said: ‘Our church is our spiritual mother. | How would it seem to beg people for | clothing for our mother?’ “I am opposed to pay church entertain- ments on Xrinciple. I believe in a irec church and a free gospel. But I have practical objections as well. There are too | many heart-burnings and bickeringsasthe result of church fairs. For instance, I have heard the remark: ‘He has a new suit of clothes. He was treasurer of our church fair. One and one make two.’ +I don’t wish to be an extremist nor un- charitable to those who believe in such things, but I have always got along without them and always shall. You re- member the Latin proverb, Facilis Descen- sus Averni—‘the way to hell is easy.’ That applies to pay church entertain- ments.”” Mr. Chetwood is editor of the Pacific Churchman, and points with satisfaction to an article that paper quotes from Rev. William Bayard Hale's strictures on mod- ern entertainments, such as Trilby games, and corkgd minstrels, contained in the January Forum. QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
