Six Hundred Tickets Distributed to a Turbulent Crowd of Street Merchants. San Francisco newsboydom shouted itself hoarse for Corinne and Tur Cirn yesterday. Six hundred tickets were distributed by J. G. Boyne and a force of seven assistants from Tre Cauv at the Wigwam Theater, and this evening the piquant star of the Corinne Opera Company will have an audi- ence of rapturous admirers in the gallery. The newsboys will be her guestsand Tur Carr h “Will you send a couple of policemen to the Wigwam Theater? Tax distribute tickets for Corinne,” was a mes- sage received at the Central police station. The answer was: “A couple? You'll need o half dozen,” and accordingly five of the sturdiest members of the force were in evidence at the corner of Geary and Stock- ton streets an hour before the distribution took place. Not before they were needed, however, for when a carriage bowled up Stockton street and Corinne—beautiful, petite and smiling—was recognized as one of the oceu- pants a cheer that brought 'inquiring faces 1o all the windows within a r:-l}xius of three blocks was sent up from hundreds of youthful throats.

Mrs. Jennie Kimball—DEAR 'Mapax: I com- municate a few lines to you in regard to & ball and entertainment we are running on Febru- ary 2 East Thirty-fourth street, between Third and Lexington avenues. The name of the i tion is the Corinne Merry-makers (1888 to 1896). Every member of your company is downon the bills as an DBonorary membor.

The boys removed their hats while be told them the lady whose guest they would be had hosts of friends amoug their ranks East and West, whether they scld papers for a nickel on the Pacific Coast or or a penny on the Atlantic, and that she would be glad to add them to the number, When tu: finished there was a wild chorus of cheers, ‘“What's the matter with Corin'ne?" they screamed, *‘She's all right! Same with Tae OCaun! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!” The act- ress withdrew in the midst of the en- thusiasm, and there was another wild rush for the door. Here threats and ter- rorizing gestures from the guaraians of the peage were again in order, for the boys exhibited a dangerous tendency to mount each other's shoulders at imminent peril of life and limb. 2 Mr. Boyne dealt out the tickets with a | lavish hand, and after the distribution began the work was done in short order. “‘Three cheers for Corinne! Hurrah for TrE CALL!” whispered the last boy to de- part.

'DAVIS' DIAMOND RING. | Interesting Bit_of Aftermath to the Escapades of the Forger and Canfidenge Man. A dimond ring, said to be worth $150, | formerly belonging to J. C. Davis, forger aid confidence man, has been the object of a long drawn out controversy before Justice of the Peace Cook. 1t was decided | after an ali-day session yesterday, in which | & half dozen prominent attornevs were . engaged. The ring is in the care of Chief of Police Crowley, who took it from Davis at the time he was under arrest for forgery. | Major Stonehill was his attorney at the time and Davis gave him some money and an order for the ring as his compensa- tion. Davis was admitted to bail and im- ‘ mediately upon his release left for parts that are still unknown. % » While he was still in jail Davis' wife, suf- {ering from the humiliation of her posi- tion, returnec to her father's house, at Rochester, N. Y: 5 Major Stonehill subsequently applied Chiet Crowley for the aiamond ring, pre- senting Davis' order. The Chiet refused to recognize the order or relinguish the rin; | and Stonehill brought suit in the Justices | Court to.recover it. 2 | The case bhas come up for bearing on two | or three occasions, Chief Crowley -being | represented by Atturney Louderback. An order was presented by Louderback in which Davis transferred his interest in tue ring to his wife. This was dated ear- lier than the similar order in Stonebill’s favor, and postponements were secured on the ground that the wife was about to re- turn to the City and would present her { claim. It was argued as against this that | Mirs. Davis had no intention of returning | to this City, of which, although was | given to spenaing the winter with friends | here, she had now seen enough. Yester- day this was shown to be true. 2 udze Louderback made a hard fight, | however, to defeat Stonehill’s da:& ar- [ guing that the nng wasin the custody of | the police authorities and could nat be wrested from them 1n this manner.” Judg- however, given in favor of Major Stopehiil. g A The numberof foreign residents in Spain | s | i is small, numbering only about 25,000, BATTERY V5, CAR ASSAS, Defendant’s Argumént in flm Hale and Norcross Min- ing Case. ' THE GRADING OF THE SAMPLES. Attorney Wood Reviews the Expert Testimony of the Witnesses of Plaintiff. In the Hale & Norcross silver mining case yesterday, on its gecond trial in De- partment 4 of the Superior Court, Attorney W. 8. Wood, for the defendants, made an exhaustive argument on the sampling of ores and their relative value. It will be remembered that M. W. Fox, a stockholder in the Hale & Norcross Min- ing Company, began suit against the com- pany, charging that its directors, by means of a fraudulent conspiracy between them and the owners of the mills where the ore was crushed, had deirauded and robbed the stocknolders of the mine of over $2,000,000. He allegea that among the devices resorted to was tampering with the ore after it left the mine, where car samples had been assayed. One of the devices re- sorted to was the mixture of worthless rock with high-grade ores, so asto obscure their value and av the same time increase the i| quantity of material to be put through the miils. The concealment from the stockholders of the average vaine of the ores as thus reduced; a fraudulent system of milling by which only a small _portion of the precious metals contained in_the ores was returned to the stockholders, and the disposition of the stolen bullion in a manner intendea conceal the theft, were alleged. On June 11, 1892, the Superior Court entered its decree in favor of the plaintiff for the benefit of the corporation and against the other defendants, Levy (ex- president), Hobart, Hayward, Nevada and exican mills and mining companies and others s>verally for various sums, Thedefendantsappealed,and the Supreme Court found that Hayward, Hobart and Levy had by a fraudulent agreement with the Mexican and Nevada mills robbed the company as charged; that -they had caused & quantity.of inferior and worth- less ares to be extracted from the mine and to be milled aiter being mixed with ores of a higher grade; that $7 per ton had been snid for miiling said ores, which was fraudulent, as the defendants were entitled to only $4 50, the actual cost of milling; and by reason of this fraud the Hale & Norcross Campanv had sustained damages in the amount of §210,397 50. But the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Superior Court for rebearing upon the value of ore delivered to the mills, the value and amount of bullion that should bave been returned therefor, and what amount of this value delivered to the mills was necessarily lost in the' working; also the amount of money, if any, received irom the tailings or residue of the ores, Consequently the object of the defend- ants in the case now being rehearsed is to prove that the car or mine snmgle assays, which are evidence against them, were too high and wholly unreliable to deter- mine the true value of the ores; and to prove the battery or mill assays practically correct, notwithstanding the figures were in the hands of the defendantsand subject to whatever “‘doctoring” they might elect. Attorney Wood stated yesterday that the plaintiff and defendants agree that the amount of one was 84068 tons and 1700 pounds. The value of this ore by battery assay was $2,225,300, and this value should be adopted by the court. The percentage of moisture in this ore, accoraing to the testimony of -witnesses, runs all the way from 3 to 12 per cent. At an average of 8 per cent, deducting this moisture, would leave the value of battery assay at $2,047,276. This, Mr. Wood held, was the only criterion by which the court couid determine the actual value of the ore. No faith should be put in the car- sample assays, and they should be re- jected. He reviewed at length the testimony of witnesses relative to the two different as- says and the -methods of making each, whether fine ore, which is known to be the richer, because mineralized rock will crumble easily, was used, or the coarser taken for the test. The testimony of H. 'W. Tangermann, the expert, who said the ore should have milled 75 or 85 per cent of the car-samé\le assays, counsel considered unsupported by further evidence. The court was. also told that Witness Maxweil's testimony that the Overman mine returns were 60 and 70 per cent of the car-sample assays was not to be con- sidered.’ Assayer Price’s testimony for the de- fendants was taken up and the story of that withess’ persistent adherence to his assertion that car-sample assays were wholly worthless was repeated. Mr. Wood held that no evidence had been given by which car-sample assays couid be used as a basis of & judgment, as only the assays taken at the mills after the ore had been crushed and properly mixed. He will conclude the reading of gument to-day. WILL ASK THE CONTRACT. The Merchants’ Association to Bid for the Street ! _Sprinkling. The Cost of Destroying the City's Garbage — More Fine Boule- vards Are Wanted. ar- The president of the Merchants’ Associa- tion was authorized yesterday by that body to bid for the contract of sprinkling the streets for the pnexpired term as an experiment and object-lesson. ' The short term is from the present to June30, The district to be sprinkled will cover sll the downtown aistrict and many of thestreets off Market. About 1,500,000 square yardy will be sprinkled from two to a cay. s ‘The Supervisors having declared Golden Gate avenue a boulevard, it was decided 0 ask the board to also declare Van Ness avenue, Baker street from -Golden Gate avenue to the park, and Lombard avenue boulevards, the same ordinance fo apply to them as will apply to Golden Gate avenue. N Consuiting Engineer E. McCullough pre- sented a-long report upon the garbsge question. Inmit he says that he believes the cremation of garbage wonld cost the City over §81,000 per annum. A company- could construct a reduction plant and pay the City for the privilege of disposing of garbage.

DURRY ALSD TO BE TRIED Lieutenant Daniels Not to Be the Only One Before the Inquisition. - He Rec‘elves Peremptory Orders From Washington to Tell the Entire Truth. Lieutenant Daniels is not the only officer of the Bering Sea revenue fleet who is now trembling in his shoes. Assistant Engi- neer Dorry is also doing his 'best to find some one willing to speak a good word for him during the coming investigation. Mr. Dorry, when spoken to yesterday in relation to the matter in which he is so much interested, refused ‘o speak for pub- lication. He said that ‘at all events he, being an honest man, should have a better chance than any ten-cent dude. But when asked what he meant by a “ten-cent dude” he refused to answer. First Lieutenant Buhner of the Bearis also in a disturbed state'of mind. It ap- pears that some enemy of Captain Healy, learning that the first lieutenant’s testi- mony tended to clear his superidr, notified the treasury officials at Washington. The result was a telegram from Assistaat Sec- retary Hamlin of the United Statestreas- ury advising Lieutenant Buhner to tell the entire truth dAuring his examination “without.any concealment or reservation whatsoever.” 5 This telegram nettled Mr. Buhner great- Iy. It seemed to him as though his veracity were being called in question. Hence, during the examination he read the telegram alond and asked who was re- sponsible for it. A deathlike silence was the only reply. “Have you been writing to Washington, Mr. Reynolds?'’ asked the fizst lieutenant, eving the judge advocate. Sitence was :he only answer, and the of- ficials glanced at Mr. Reynolds as though expecting him to respond. “Yes, I have,” at last answered Lieu- tenant Reynolds, uneasily, *‘because I bave been requested to do so.”” ““All right,’ ej%ulned Bubuer in a tone expressive of*thé utmost resignation, I suppose I must take my dose like the rest.” Captain Louis Willlams of the whaler Hidalgo, the first witness examined at yesterday’s session of the Healy investi- gation, testiied that he had been forty vears at sea and had been acquainted with | Captain Healy during the last ten years. | The captain was not at any time under | the influence of liguor during the month { of August, 1895, or else the witness would have known it, since he visited the Bear almost daily and sometimes more than once a day. As to Captain Healy failing to reach Point Barrow, the witness said he was one of the captains who counseled Healy not to attempt the trip, as the ice was commeneing to gather and the officers at Point Barrow were amply provided for. He considered Captain Healy an expert navigator. R Captain A. H. McGregor of the whaler Orca said he had been at sea tweniy-one years, and bad known Captain Healy for fourteen years. He considered the revenue officer better versed In the knowledge of the Arctic ‘currents than any other man. He hnfi met Healy near Icy Cape, and haa advised him not to.go to Point Barrow, since the trip would be a dangerous one, and the officers at that point were amply supplied with all necessaries. At the afternoon session Dr. Bedkin tes- tified that the liquor had been removed from the captain’s stateroom at his orders, | and with the captain’s consent, as the wit- ness desired to gauge the amount of alco- holic liquor taken by his patient. Captain Bonnifield of the supply steamer - Lakme said he had known Cap- that he was idolized by the Indiansin Alaska, who regarded him as the United States Government’s representative. He had never heard that the captain ever drank too much liquor.. The next witness was R. Neison, assiste ant keeper of the lighthouse and relief sta- tion at Point Barrow. He said he had been sent by his superior, Captain Aitken, to notify Captain Healy that the force at Point Barrow was amply supplied, and that it wounid be simply snicnial for the captain to attempt to reach the point, as the winter, that of 1895, was exceptipnally severe and the danger from icebergs very at. m;{e had seen the captain daily during the time mentioned by Messrs. Daniels, Dor: and Emery in their complaint, and had slways found him perfect'y sober. He said Captain Healy was considered the best mariner that had ever been in the Behring Sea. y Philip Montgomery, first officer of the whaler Norwhal, was'the last witness. He said he knew of no one whose reputation was better than Captain Healy’s asa thor- ough-going manner. The witness had never seen the captain under the influence of liguor. The general investigation, announced esterday, will take place underthe super- intendency of Captains Hodgson of De- troit, Stodder of New York and Coulson of this City. It is said the closing of the Healy investigation will be delayed until the arrival of Dr. Sharp from the East. Sharp 1s said to be an avowed enemy of the old commander. - It is expected his testi- mony will be by no means devoid of in- terest. A personal friend of Captain Healy said he had received a letter from Captain Gar- forth of the Pheasant, in which that officer aliudes to Captain Healy as a perfect gen- tleman, and denies a!l stories against him. It is expected that the proposed whole- saie inguiry into the state of affairsin the Bering Sea fleet will be productive of many interesting developments. s Three lnqu in One Day.

Plans for the Structure Will Be Made at Once—A Prospectus of the Project. The members of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association have set to workin earnest to make its home-industry exposi- tion a success. The setback recexye(% through the directors of the Mechanics Institute refusing to lease the pavilion for such a fair was only temporary. A special committee was, at the last, meeting ap- pointed to go ahead with the work of ar- ranging for an exposition of home prod- ucts, and in the past week much has been done toward this end. The firgt step made was to secure a suitable site upon which to erect a large exposition building. IS (7N S v 3 I Site of the Manufacturers’ Home industry Exposition, this City were oifered, but none were ac- eepted until within the past two days. The lot selected is in the block bonnded by Market, Mission, Eleventh and Twelfth, or Potter. It hasa frontage of 200 feet on Twelfth street and is 475 feet deep, witha twenty-five-foot outlet upén - Eleventh street. The special committee, consisting of Messrs. Mead, Bowers and Tacy, called upon the owners of the lot—John Van Bergen and Joseph Brandenstein, neither of whom belongs to the association. Uvon learhing the objects of the home-ind ustry exposition both of the property-owners of- fered the use of the lot free of cost for six months, and the offer was at once ac- cepted by the representatives of the asso- ciation. = To-day the committee will confer with several architects with a view of obtai ing suitable ptans for 4n exposition build- ing that will cover the entire lot. The idea at present is that a one-story frame structure will be constructed. A building covering this lot will give the association 50,000 square feet on the main floor for ex- There is some talk of aving the roof high enough for a gallery which will allow considerable more space, but the gallery question will not be de- BBV VDV VNDVVVOD 30x40 feet in size. 5 " Itis estimated that a suitable strncture can be erected for between $15,000 and $20,000. "So far as the raising o the money is -concerned, the directors are mot con- cerned in the least. The sale of floor space to exhibitors will be almost enough to pay the cost of the building, at least such was the experience of those who managed the recent home industry exposition in Oak- land, which was -a great success in eyery way. The central location of the siteis a great feature in the minds of those who are at work on the plans. ‘Within three blocks of the lot are ten lines of streetcars which reach every part of -San Franeisco. The special committee has prepared a rospectus of what will be accomplished. n the first place the ex}msition will be different from any ever held before, as the manufactures and produets of California by the members of the association. Itis the intention to make the exposition in- may be here remarked that the association will from time 1o time make similar expo- sitions in every county in the State. The exposition will be in reality a vast factory. wherein the public may-witness the manu- facture of every article exhibited. Looms will be at work making cotton; woolen and silk goods. Machinery will be running to show the manufacture of gloves, shoes, wearing apparel, indiarubber goods, jew- eiry, furniture, electrical appliances, glass, book-binding, ete. Cigar-making, prepara- tions of food products, confectionery, per- fumes, extracts, stone work; mining, agri- cultural and dairy machinery wili also be prominent features mn the fair, and it is also expected that a fine-arts display by local artists will be arranged. There will also be an_historical display of California, with exhibits pertaiuing to its geographical features and undevel- oped resources. Pre tions are now being made for interesting entertainments, consisting of vocal and instrumental music by professional and amateur home- :indusuy;nlanl:.&xemus by school chil- ren and exhibitions by military athletic associations. = i With such. - attractions as these the promotors have no fear of failure, even though their rivals, the trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute, have threatened to hold a home-industry fair this year. The Pproposition is to get ahead of the institute ple. The calculation is that the build- ing will be compiete and the exposition opened about the middle of Aprii, This can be easily accomplished by rushing the | Wwork on the structure and sending a lot of lively agents among the members of the Manufacturers’ Assoc:ation to arrange jfor l th_; l:xl_:ibil.;. 0se who have the matter in hand are | {horoug.ly in earnest, and claim tuat they | eir way clear to meetall and difficulties.
