THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1896 1 G surprising in the past year. Superintend- ent Kennedy has written to a famous maker of handballs in Ireland for several dozen balls, a few sampies of which he had seen a few days ago that caughthis eyeand fancy. Kennedy is an excellent Emgnosnc tor and his prediction that andball will eventually become the most bopular of indoor sports among club mem- {uers snot by any means disputed by the officers of the club who are now catering tc the members who delight in the old Irish pastime. The club proposes giving entertainments such as the one that was so cessfully managed at the Columbia Theater a few evenings ago every three or four months. The members who took part in the enter- tainment propose to practice right along and rehearsals will be held quite frequently in a department of the club which has for theatrical purposes. of last Monday even- i ¢ par- vs that it will not he entertainment May or June next. d new talent will will be catchy to the most fastidious crank D Ay Due notice will be given to all of the amateur clubs of this coast ot the proposed grand fistic entertainment, and as exceedingly beautiful prizes will be offered for competition, the directors are in hopes of having entries from all parts of the State. The classes will consist of bantam, feather, light, middle and heavy weights. _The Police Gazette Sporting Annual for 1896 is now out, and as a complete book of reference it ranks superior to any of the annuals published this season. It con- tains excellent illustrations of famousath- letes, oarsmen, wheelmen, pugilists, etc., Wwith the records and best performances of the champions. A new departure of par- ticularnterest to pugilistsis the published individual record of every prominent fighter now before the public, S S HOUNDS AND HARES.

Ia | WHEAT JUMPS THREE POINTS, Another Lively Day on ’Change and a Boom Is Expected. PRICES MAY REACH 81.50. About 425,000 Tons in the State, and Australia Will Need Half of That. THE PROFIT TO CALIFORNIA. Net Gain of $1,500,000 From the Rise Already—The Effect on Busi- ness in General. Wheat is still rapidly going up. It was worth less than a cent a pound in the mar- ket about a month ago. Yesterday it was quoted at §1 1734 per 100 pounds, and it would not be a surprise to anybody if the price should immediately jump to $1 50. An indication of the condition of the mar- ket is shown by the closing quotations on May wheat during the week: Friday .. Thursday Wednesday . Tuesday | Monday 1 09% | The stock of wheat in California to-day is about 425,000 tons. The earnings of the State since Monday, therefore, by the ad- | vancement of the market prices, are During the month the gain has | been nearly $1,500,000. If the prediction of a rise to §1 50 is real- d, which is possible if not probable, the rise in value from a month ago will bring to the State a net profit of $4,225,000. Of the wheat now in the State Australia may need 200,000 tons, and even more. It is ‘commonly rumored on 'Change that McNear has already bought up one-third at least of this, and the present rise keeps I | him on the broad grin. The stock, if Australia takes 200,000 or 250,000 tons, will ba hardly enough to run | the State through to the next crop, which comes forward next July, and that circum- stance gives the impetus to the boom. An official bulletin of the shippers re- garding wheat is as follo While the comparative failure of Australia to secure much if any surplus of wheat above her own requirements was a severe blow to that country it hes been a perfect godsend to the Paeific Coast, which, with a large supply to carry along, had merely the prospect of an or- | Atnary market in Europe, relieved somewhat et the time the Australian inquiry developed, by promised drought, which has since been entirely dissipated by ample and extended | rains. To digress a moment, the outiook for the present is quite reassuring so far as this State is concerned for a large wheat area, and a proportionate yield should the weather re- main favorable. There has, of course, been much idle talk | about the farmers' po verty preventing liberal see: but this will not stand for an instant against such logic as is afforded by an excep- tional price for wheat, and the necessity of the | banks standing by the farmer if the reward for along spell of disaster is to be secured. It is said, in fact, that the banks have already been induced to aid the farmer to put himself in line for such fortune as the next season may have in store for those who own wheet, & policy which certainly seems only ratfonal under the circumstances, as recent papers from Australia estimated tnat 200,000 tons of wheat woul | be required there, and that this coast would be expected to furnish it. Naturally the largest possible credit and authority was given this view of the situation, and since then radicalism has been the rule, prices having advanced in p y fashion, while spot material has undergone only a slignt change for the better, although should the ideas that have controlled the speculative | department be acceptea by holders, spot prices | would no doubt respond readily although no such terms would be warranted by the English | market. For Australian shipment $1 221¢ is the out- side price, for the English market $111{is a full rate, allowing for a decline on freights and a rise in England. The question is, therefore, as to how much more the Australian movement will influence prices before shipments to Europe will be in- teriered with. Another item that may not be overlooked with safety is the scarcity of the grade of wheat required by Australia. Will that country ex- tend her favor to such qualitics as are em- ployed without question in making up on European cargo ? Taking for granted that this will be o, that the amount required wall be 150,000 tons, and the present rate of export to England is unin- terrupted, then unquestionably there will be no excuse for stock-taking June 1, for there will be no stock. This is & specimen of the reasoning which is now applied to the situa- tion, and it fully explains the feverish state of the marketand general uncertainty. Since the Austrailian demand became a factor, 24,227 tons have been dispatched to that merket and 7622 tons have gone to South Africa. Of course, there is no saying just what the demand from Australia will emount to, but the fact is apparen’ that misrepresenta- tions not required to establish a legitimate belief that wheat is good property, and that prices are likely to remain for some time ut & level that will mean millions of dollars gain to this coast. From last report 558,271 centals of wheat heve been shipped, making 7,294,470 for the season to date, against 4,930,661 for the same time last season. The decrease in the visible supply for the week ended January 20 was 947,000 bushels, whiie clearances of wheat and flour from At- lantic ports had decreased 127,424 bushels end 23,957 barrels respectively. Indlan ship- ments to the United Kingdom for the same period had expanded 10,000 quarters, while they had fallen off 1000 to the Continent. Wheat and flour on passage to the United Kingdom and the Continent having meantime advanced 40,000 quarters in the first case and deciined 150,000 in the second. Imports of flour and wheat into the United Kingdom for the week ended on the 20th were 97,000 bar- rels and 52,000 quarters less respectively than for the pfeceding week, while farmers’ de- liverles for the week closed on the 18th were 318,000 quarters at 25s 10d, against 235,000 at 25s 44 for the preceding week. Australia wants only the best grade of wheat, and is willing to pay any price for it, the dealers say. England takes what is called the *No.1 wheat’’ when it buys from California. A better grade of wheat, the *‘extra choice,” is kept here, because England will not pay what the dealers de- mand, but there is no wheat too good for the Australians. A ustralia also wants a very fine grade of oats just now, demanding the best In the world, and the island would buy immense amounts if California had the oats to offer. The rise in wheat, based on a strong market demand that must be sustained, means immediate prosperity for the grow- ers, even though the growers get no direct share of the merchants’ profit on the wheat holdings. Confidence is estab- lished, and the farmer can get good credit. The country merchant is carrying the farmer, and the country merchant is car- ried by the tity merchant. The latter gets better accommodations at the banks while the conditions are as favorabie as they are now, and in this way benefits of the wheat rise extend all over the State. M. HUGHES STABBED. An Unknowwn Man Makes a Deadly Assault on the ex-Poli- tician. Martin Hughes, formerly deputy under J. J. McDade, was the victim of a peculiar assault last Saturday morning and as a result is confined to his bed. About 2 o'clock in the morning Mr. Hughes, who lives at 265 Octavia street, was walking down Oak street, and when near the corner a man stepped suddenly from behind a tree and brushed heavily against him. Mr. Hughes had his over- coat on his right arm, but as quickly as possible transferred it to the other mem- ber and then reached for his gun. The fellow seeing the action ran down the street, soon disappearing in the darkness. Mr. Hughes thought nothing more of the adventure until he arrived hon.e and began to prepare for bed. To his amaze- ment and consternation his clothes were covered with blood, and a closer examina- tion disciosed a cut in the abdomen an inch and a half long. The wounded man thinks the fellow mistook bim for some one eise and after the first thrust discoverea his error. The assault has not been reported 10 the police. T0 PROVE A CONSPIRACY, Captain Healy's Attorney Cross- Examining Witnesses on That Line. It Is Said to Have Been Formed Among the Young Officers in the Bering Sea. The inquiry into the charges preferred against Captain Michael Healy of the revenue cutter Bear by some of the officers of the Bering Sea patrol fleet was resumed in the roows of the Lighthouse Board, in the Appraiser’s building, yesterday. All the proceedings are taken down in long- hand, and in consequence everything moves along very slowly. Only three wit- nesses were examined yesterday, and they simply retold the stories that have been circulated about the accused. The testi- mony so far has been very circumstantial, but some of the witnesses have shown so much personal animosity to the accused in telling their story that their evidence has really done him more gcod than harm. Barclay Henley, who appears for Cap- tain Healy, has confined himself in cross- examining the witnesses to attempting to | show that there was a conspiracy formed | while the fleet was north to ‘‘down” the commander of the Bear. It is said to have been led by Lieutenant Daniels of the Bear and Assistant Engineer Dorey of the Grant, and was joined by other young offi- cers of the fleet. Daniels was recalled yesterday and questioned on this point. H e indignantly denied that any such com- bination ever was formed, and said the only reason why a complaint was for- | warded to Washington was Captain | Healy’s continued unofficerlike conduct. The first witness of the day was Lieuten- ant Ross of the cutter Richard Rush. His i testimony was mainly connected with the time when the fleet was at Unalaska. During the stay of the Bear, according to Ross, Captain Healy got hilarious and walked off the end of the wharf. e was | rescued with some difficulty. Henley | tried to get the witness to admit that it | was an accident that precipitated the cap- tain into the bay, but Ross stuck to his story. Captain Hooper, late of the cutter Cor- win, but now detailed for special duty on this coast, was the next witness. He told of the scene on the British warship Pheas- ant, when Lieutenant Deniels was ordered to leave the cabin and return to the Bear. Captain Tozier of the cutter Grant also gave his version of the same story and under cross-examination they admitted that there might have been extenuating circumstances in the situation. The fact of the matter seems to be that all who were present on that occasion wereina more or less good humor. After Daniels had been cross-examined the court adjourned until Monday. The prosecution expects to get its case in about the middle of next week, and then Cap- tain Healy will call his witnesses. There will be a delegation from the crew of the Bear, whose testimony will flatly contra- dict that of the officers, it is said. Then there will be captains of sealers and whalers who have known the captain of the Bear for years, who have met him in all kinds of Arctic weather; representatives | of ithe Pacific Steam Whaling Company, Alasky Commercial Company, North American Commercial Company, Lynde & Hough Company, all of whom will testify | as to what they know of Captain Healy during the past ten ycars. At the present rate of progress the trial is therefore liable to last a month. e — “A NIGHT WI BURNS” The St. Andrew’s Society Celebrates the Poet’s Birthday. St. Andrew’s Society celebrated the one hundred and thirty-seventh anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns in the happy fashion that characterizes all the social undertakings of the organization. Scottish Hall on Larkin street was crowded with bonnie Scots—lads and lasses, old and young-—early in the even- ing to enjoy the literary and musical en- tertainment that went to make up the first part of the programme. Rev. Dr. H. C. Hinton, professor in the University at San Anselmo, was the orator of the evening. His address, however, held the place on a tong and varied programme. Andrew Wilkie, president of the society, presided. A duet, “Bonnie Doon,’”’ was sung by the Misses Ethel and Jennie | Graham of Los Angeles. Mr. Walter Campbell sang ““Scots Wha Hae"” in a man- ner that made every Scot present his last- ing friend and admirer.” For encores he sang “‘There’s Na Land Like Scotiand,” “Thursday,” ete. Miss Lula Hickok gave a select recitation and provoked an encore. Miss Etbel Granam sang “Coming Thro’ the Rye.” “Flow Gently, Sweet Afton,” was_sung by Thomas W. Breen, and then Professor F. D. Findlay of Portland, Ore- gon, in costume, danced the “‘Sailors’ and “Liverpool” hornpipes. Secremry Robert Park sung “Bonnie Wee Thing” and W. C. Cook “A Man’s a Man for &’ That.” Miss Eva Kenners sang ““Bonnie Sweet Bessie’” and for an encore ‘Robin Aagir.” ¥ “Willie Brew'd a Petk o' Maut” was sung as a trio by Messrs, Robert Duncan, Robert Park and George St.J. Bremner. Rev. Dr. Hinton was then introduced, and delivered a very enter:aining address on Burns and his country and times. The floor was then cleared, and to the music_of Gregg's orchestra the guests danced the hours away until after mid- night. ——— A strange story comes from the Gold Coast of a race of white men, with light bair and blue eyes. dwelling in caves to the northeast of the Goranza country, LEVINGSTON'S STANJING, Attorney Pierson Argues That an Executor Cannot Con- test a Will, D. M, DELMAS CONTENTION, Judge Slack Has Taken the Knotty Problem Under Advisement. The Teachers’ Fund. The argument on the demurrer to the petition of Dr. Marc Levingston to enter a contest of the Fair will of September 21 was resumed in Judge Slack’s court yes- terday afternoon by Attorney Pierson of Pierson & Mitchell, whorepresent the four trustees appointed by that will. He took up the authorities cited last week by Mr. Delmas of Delmas & Short- ridge, who represent Dr. Levingston, and declared that not one of them was appli- cable to the single point at issue, which was: Is Dr. Marc Levingston, the peti- tioner, a person qualified under the Cali- fornia statute to contest a will? In other words, was the petitioner an interested person—that is, one interested in the will? Mr. Pierson argued that this question could only be answered in the negative, because the statute pointed out who were the interested persons, legatees and devi- sees. An executor was not an interested person, and could not enter the contest of b2 will. Particularly was this true of an executor of an unprobated will. To hold to the contrary would open wide -the doors for those who sought only to tie up an estate in a long contest of litigation. The proper pro- cedure was, he held, to let the will just filed go to probate, and then, should that be admitted, the second will could be en- tered for probate, and if that were admit- ted it would mean the revocation of the probate of the first will. Mr. Delmas declared that this would be a most unfair procedure. Because the pe- titioners of the first will, with unseemly haste, had been at the clerk’s office early in the morning after the death with their wiil and their petition to have it probated, they did not thereby acquire any vested rights nor precedence over a will of later date. The counsel had spoken of the pos- sibility of the will proposed by Dr. Lev- ingston being a forgery; it was by no means admitted that the will entered by the four trustees was authentic and genu- ine. These were questions for the court to decide, and they should be decided at one and the same time, with neither prefer- ence nor precedence to either. Suppose both wills had been filed simultaneousiy? It.could not then be argued that the docu- ment of earlier date should be probated before the second anu supposedly last will was considered. And should the fact that the proponents of the first will had suc- ceeded in filing their petition a little earlier in this case act asa bar or deterrentagainst the second and !ast will aud rob its propo- nents of their equity in the case or post- one the hearing of their contest? Mr. ehnas thought the court would not so decide. The whole argument of Mr. Delmas may be summed up 1in this proposition: Being named as executor in the will of Septem- ber 24, 1894, Dr. Levingston had the un- doubted right to present that will, alleging ii to be the last will of the decedent. This 1s conceded on all hands. And since that will revoked all former wills, the right to maintain that it was the last will, which is conceded by all to Dr. Levingston, neces- ily involves the right to maintain that 1 of the 21st of September (which is prior in date) has been revoked and is not the last will.' The right to maintain the will of the 24th as the last will is, there- fore, a right to oppose the claim that the will of the 21st is the last will. As to the amended Pemion in the matter of the schoolteachers’ trust fund, Mr. Del- mas wes granted five days in which to file an amendment. Then_ the question on the demurrer to the petition of Dr. Marc Levingston was submitted to the court. DEFENDING THEIR HOMES, The Noe Valley People Will Fight the Suits Brought Against Them. How “The Call’s” Exclusive Informa- tion Published Last Wednesday Was Received. The Noe Valley Defense Association was jubilant at its regular Friday evening meeting at the corner of Twenty-third and Douglass streets last night. The principal business done was the re- port of the executive committee, W. B. Curtis, James P. Twobey, C. Stadler, 8. J. Theisen, M. F. Taylor, E. J. Banning, who had been sent out to solicit funds for the purpose of defending their property in the suit brought against them by the repre- sentatives of the Noe estate. The assessment to this fund had been fixed at $1 50 per lot, which gave the con- tributor a membership in the club and his property an ample defense in the coming suit. The committee reported that it had received donations from 310 lots of the 500 required, making a total of $465 to the fund. The only difficulty they had met with was that everybody within the bounds of San Miiuel rancho had read of the existence of Judge Norton’s decree made in 1860, barring any further suits by the Noes, and published exclusively in Tur Cavy of January 22. *‘They all take the San Francisco Carr,” said a committeeman, ‘‘and have read last Wednesday’s account of the suit lost by the Noe heirs thirty-five years ago and the clincher that the Judge put upon his decision. Many of them aresatisfied from the good news that they are safe and need not pay any attention to Attorney Kos- cialowski’'s summons. Weexplain to them that while we consider the result of the former case decidedly in our favor, still we are not going to rest all our hopes on the old decree, but go ahead and make our de- fense until this case is thrown out of court.” In the main the committee found no great difficulty in its canvass of the terri- tory, and stated that in all probability much more than the amount needed would be raised. Out of the $750 to be raised from the 500 lots, $500 would be used as a fee to ‘Attorneys Lane and Lane, who would take the case through the Superior and Supreme courts, if necessary. The remainder of the fund would be used for trial expenses. : There are about 6500 defendants, of which six have been frightened into sell- ing their claims to the Buincifls for small sums, ranging from $10 to $30, being 234 per cent of one-half of the assessed valua- tion, as the present Noe heirs oaly claim a half of the old rancho. President W. B. Curtis questioned Tug CALL representative present, regarding the Norton decree in the Borie vs. Noe case, and stated that the publication of the news was giad tidings to the several thousand people whuse listle homes were menaced. “It is a good piece of work,” he said, ‘“and Tug CALv has the thanks of the en- tire community interested in this case.” To the members of the association Mr. through which the Ashantee expedition is to march, : Curiis said: *“While we hail the good news MANAGER GHICAGO JOURNAL Gol.

ALTSCHUL TO RESUME. The Crockery Firm Will Settle \I'wenty-Five Cents on the Dollar. The crockery business of L. Altschul & Co. of 422 Sansome street, that went into the hands of a receiver a few daysago with liabilities at $18,000, will be resumed by the firm, the intimate friends of Leo- pold Altschul having offered to advance enough money for a temporary cash settle- | ment of 25 cents on the dollar. Such is the arrangement that has been agreed to by the creditors after an investi- gation of the stock made by their special committee appointed last Tuesday for that purpose. It was estimated that the 0ods in the store would, at a forced sale, gring $4000, ¢ It will not be necessary for Altschul to raise one-fourth of the $18,000, as part of the total amount isowed 1n personal debts that he will not be pressed for. About $3000 will be sufficient to meet the present obligation. As soon as all the creditors shall hayve indorsed the agreement the ~id firm wili displace the assignee now in char.e. Nearly all of the local creditors have | already signed, and several of the Eastern | creditors, through their agents here, have consented to the terms. ———————— Polydore Virgil ascribes the invention of church bells to Pope Sabinian, St. Greg- ory’s successor; but by mistake, for St. Jerome, contemporary with Paulinus, makes mention of one.
