STRICAENWITH PARLISS Captain Hughes of the Ferry Steamer ‘Oakland a Very Sick Man. Has Been Gradually Failing Ever Since His Daughter Stella Disappeared. Captain William Hughes, commander of the ferry steamer Oakland, is lying dan- gerously ill at his home, 1914 Stevenson street. Sunday last he started for the ferry-boat to take up his usual run to Oak- land, but when half way down Market street he was taken sick and returned home after sending word to the office of the railroad company. Monday morning he was worse, and when a messenger was sent to his house the information was given out that the ‘whole of his left side was paralyzed. Everything possible is being done for him and there is a chance of his ultimate recovery. Should he pull through, however, it will be months be- fore the traveling public will see him back on his old run. Captain Hughes has been master of camer Oakland almost continu- for the last twenty years. In all that time the vessel never met with any- thing save tri ccidents, and it is said of him that he could find his way across bagin a fog better than any other th ous th2 master in the employ of the Southern Pacific. Several months ago his daughter, Stella wandered irom home and part § parel was foundon ihe rocks near the House. The beach was arched and the disappearance was widely vertised at the 1ime, but no trace of the ; woman was ever found. The loss of his daughter preved very much on the mind of Captain Hughesyqnd Le gradually failed from that day on. The stroke of last Sunday is considered to be t b ie culmination of & gradual attack that epan the day his daughter disappeared. Captain Hughes place on the Oakland will be taken by Captain Clarewell of the freight steamer Transit and Mate Hansen will be promoted. ——e————— It is estimated that in India, counting all Protestant missionaries, there is about « to every 500,000 people.

P — AS THE CITY HALL ANGEL. 1 Yt e Mrs. De Jarnette’s Address to the Woman Suffrage Association. There was a good aitendance at the monthly meeting of the Woman, Suffrage Association at Golden Gate Hall yester- day. Mrs. A. Kalfus de Jarnette, editor of the San Jose Report, read a paper on the de- mand for suffrage. Colonel Dickinson gave an earnest ad- dress, in the course of which he informed the ladies that an ex-United States Senator had informed him that if women voted there would be no Republican majority in the State, a statement which Colonel Dick- inson vigorously combatea. “‘Give the women the right to vote, and in twelve months they will purify politics as they do their homes. Women will yet occupy as proud a position as the angel that will surmount yonder City Hall.” M. E.

The British ship Strathdon was got out of the mud at tbe Union Iron Works yes- terday, and will sail for England Satur- day. Four tugs after half an hour’s pull- ing had her in deep water. The Strathdon isnow as good as new,and as the mud cleaned all the barnacles from her bottom Captain Phillips expects to make a smart trip home. 1he whaling bark Lydia is the last of the “wind jammers” that may go north this season.

Everybody was busy on the revenue cutters Bear, Rusn and Perry yesterday. News had reached the commanding officers that their vessels were expected to be at Port Townsend prior to April 15, and as this is at least a month before the usual sailing date there was a flutter of excite- ment. Itisthought that an early start is to be made for Bering Sea to head off the fleet of sealers which is already chasing the herds both on this coast and in-the Japan Sea. The oflicers do not like the change in the sailing date, as many of them had arranged for leave of absence. NAVAL MEN ACQUITTED.

Mrs. Henrietta Heydenfeldt’s Struggle for a Portion of the Judge's Estate. | The trial of the suit of Mrs. Henrietta Heydenfeldt to set aside deeds conveying away the property of Solomon O. Heyden- feldt came before Judge Coffey vesterday. The claxm is made by the plaintiff that the deeds convey away from her, Heyden- feldt’s natural wife, the property that should rightfully behers. On theother hand | it is contended that the plaintiff was Hey- denfeldt’s half sister and that he could never have married her. In his opening statement to the jury Mr. Crittenden, counsel for plaintiff, said he would prove that the plaintiff was Hey- denfeldt's stepsister—the daughter of James Manahan by his first wife—and the | stepdaughter of Mrs. Heydenfeldt, who married Manaban aiter Heydenfeldt the elaer had died. Mr. Crittenden said, too, that he would prove that in 1853 Judge Heydenfeldt took the plaintiff to Sacra- mento and there, at midnight, while he was disguised' by a false beard, they were married by the then Chief Justice, Judge Murray, who wore a mask. The marriage certificate was lost, but he said he would show tnat Heydenfeldt lived with her and acknowledged her to be his wife. She had been driven from her husband, he said, by ill treatment, ana she had been persuaded into another marriage by Hey- denfeldt’s relatives, but she had never lived with the man she subsequently mar- ried, and had only gone through the cere- mony to rid herself of the importunities of Heydenfeldt's relatives. The only testimony submitted was the deposition of William H. Haydin, who was a friend of Judge Heydenfeldt’s and to whom the Judge acknowledged his marriage to the plaintiff. This was in 1854, about s year after the ceremony at 3acramenlo. The case .will continue’ to- ay. MUST FINISH ON TIME. City Hall Commissioners Will Grant Contractors No Further Extensions. City and County Attorney Creswell stated with much feeling at the meeting of the City Hall Commissioners yesterday | tractors for the new City Hall dome any further time. He said that he hdd been inspecting the | dome and’ had found that though the ninety days’ extension last granied was | nearly up the work was far from complete; | that the indications were that it would | be several weeks beiore the angel was in place. | * He declared himself in favor of putting into force the §250 a day penalty named in the contract for failure to finish the work within the specifiea time. Mr. Creswell also stated that he hed ascertained that but three men were kept | busy, when at least a dozen could be util- | ized if the gontractors were desirous of rushing the work. Auditor Broderick stated that he was tired of delays and would not assist the contractors further in the matter. The contract time expires April 10, and the penalty will be enforced unless the ex- terior of the dome is finished by tuat date. O'Connell & Lewis are the contractors. The portions of-the anzel not yet in place were accepted by the Commissioners yesterday, and will be put up at once. that he was not disposed to grant the con- ! Stecl 19 and Third Officer Burke 19. All | quarters during the session of the con- | reduced as follows: In lots of less than | four were at various times apprentices in | | 1000 barrels the rate is 33{ cents per gallon, | or §7 50 per ton; in lots of 1000 barrels or | over, 314 cents per gallon or $7 per ton. | | Canned selmon will be carried for 35| | cents per 100 pounds, or $7 per ton, while | on antimony, boneblack, brandy, glue, ore | (chrome or manganese). peas, quicksilver, | | rice and tallow the rate of 40 cents will { continue n force. | Up to the time these rates went into effect the rate on all the commodities named was 40 cents per 100 pounds, or §8 ver ton. The cut was made to meet that of 50 cents per 100 pounds instituted by the Sunset route on the 2d inst. ‘When this 50-cent rate was introduced by the Southern Pacific an exception was made on beans from the southern part of the State, where most of the beans tiat are exported are grown, on which a 6214, cent was made; but in order to meet the present situation the railroad yesterday made the 50-cent rate_on beans apply to this territory. This is all the action the | railroad company will take, according to the statement of Mr. Smurr, the general freightagent, to meet the latest cut by the lines interested in the Panama route. “We are carrying all the business that we want to at the Sg-cent rate,” he said. It is pelieved by the Panama Railway people that the 30-cent rate will give their route a fair share of the through business, | 80 long as the railroad company does not | | go below 50 cents. It is admitted on both | | sides, however, that the rates now in force entail a loss on all concerned and it is now a battle simply of endurance between the Southern Pacitic Railroad Company .(or what is known as the Sunset line) aud the Panama-Pacific Mail combination. The peculiar feature of the situation is that the Sunset line is fighting the Pana- ma lines single handed, none of the other lines carrying through freight for less than | 75 cents per 100 pounds, though all have | the right to put in the 50-cent rate if they so desire. THE WATERHOUSE CHECKS Leading Witnesses in the R. H. McDonald Case Testify to Records. Bookkeeper Belleman Admits a Lapse of Memory as to Dates and Names. The case of The People vs. R. H. Mc- Donald of Pacific Bank fame, which was | taken up in Judge Bahr's court last Fri- | day, came on for trial before the following | jury yesterday morning: W. H. Wharf, Francis Thonfas, I. Blum, G. Neubauer, J. Klinklaus, H. Kozminsky, J. W. Steinart, P. Borchardt, George H. Saunders, F. A. Will, J. Hillman, A. Shirek. The morning session of the court was taken up with the submission of proof b-aring on the incorporation of the bank- ! ing institution. | Columbus Waterhouse, whose $100,000 | check has played such an important part " | | in the proceedings thus far, was the first witness called when court reconvened at 2:30 . M. On direct examination by Attorneys Hinkle and Peixotto witness testified that he had given the pank the $100,000 check with the understanding that it was to be returned to him in three or four days; that 1t was to be used simply to help the bank out of- a temporary embarrassment. | The check was returned at the specified time. On close questioning he admitted that he did not have more than $20,000 credit at the Sacramento Bank at the time, During the cross-examination Carroll Cook questioned witness closely as to his memory of the day on which the check was given to the bank. Mr. Waterhouse could give no definite answers without consulting his notebooks and memoranda. “You had most of your transactions with Richard ?”’ was asked. “I had.” “*While Richard was in Europe did you not have considerable business with Frank?" “Yes, sir.” = Here followed a series of close questions concerning the conversations which oc- | that Frank curred about the check and whether they were with Richard or Frank. A. E. Belleman, an accountiant, testified that he had been connected with the Pacific Bank for nearly ten years. He was there at the investigation of the Me- Dona.d-<. **You have heen interested in this case since R. H. McDonald's arrest, have you not?” asked Mr. Peixotto. “How do you mean?"’ “You have called on him at the jail, have you not?” “I do not see the object of that kind of questicning,” interposed Judge Bahrs. **We want to show that the witness is friendly to the defendant.” “You must infer that from witness testimony,’’ said the Judge. After a short and pointed interchange of ideas on the subject of such practice Mr. Peixotto submitted 2 check for witness’ examination, and aske! ihe latter if he could identify it. v “‘Yes it is a check for $100,000 hande i me among a number of others with tue re- quest that I make out deposit tags.”” “Do you know whether it was Richard or Frank McDonald who handed you the cuecks?” “I think it was Frank.” “Then your recollection is better now [ than_it was when you testified before,” and Mr. Peixotto read from the transcript of his previous testimony during the course of which witness said he could not tell positively who handed him the six cliecks. He could not be certain. Attorney Cook objected 10, the reading of the transcript and the objection was sustained by the court. A technical controversy ensued on con- clusion of which Attorney Cook made the contention that the certificate of de- posit 1n evidence jailed to sustain the alle- gations. *“The Flood case was based on the charges of fraud, in that the certifi- cate of deposit had been made out as cash instead of checks on deposit,’ he said. “But this certificate shows that the check was receipted for as a check and not. as cash.” On further ‘zuestioning witness recalled McDonald had brought him several bundles of checks on the last day of December, 1892. He could not remem- ber having had any transaction with Richard McDonald on that day. “Did you make out the report for the Bank Commissioners?” asked Attorney Peixotto. “I did.” And then followed a list of questions of more or less relevancy and no general in- terest. J. K. Carter, a bookkeeper of the bank since 1884, and still in the employ of the institution during the liquidation, was called and testitied as to the receipt of the $100,000 checks and showed how the tags and checks were balanced in the receiving teller's book or biotter. They first ap- peared in that blotter on the 3d of January, 1893, that being the first business day aiter the 3]st of December, 1892. Fage 112 of the receiving teller’s record was introducéd and a spirited discussion followed as to the admissibility of such evidence. The question of the handwriting in the entry recording the receipt of the Water- house check was taken under advisement by the court. Trial of the case will be resumed this | morning at 10:30 o’clock. — g Spring Opening.

INCREASE OF EXPORTS, Detailed Report Showing Advanc- ing Conditions of Local Trade. Annual Meeting of the State Board of Trade—Election of Offi- cers Held. The annual meeting of the California State Board of Trade took place yesterday afiernoon, President N. P. Chipman read a lengthy report, in which he brieflv outlined the history of the board since iis second and real beginning in 1887, He then, as chairman of the committee on State industrial resources, read the sixth annual report of the committee, con- taining tables showing that the board sent from the State during the year, of fruit, nuts, wine, brandy and vegetables, 48,8 carloads of ten tons each. This is a gain over 1894 of 5346.4 carloads, and a gain over 1893 of 8042.6 carloads. The shipments of fruit alone have in- creased from 16,195.7 carloads in 1890 to 37,160.7 carloads in 1895. Compared with 1894, fresh deciduous fruits felf off by rail 2353 carloads in 1895. Dried fruits by rail 1007 carloads. Citrus._ fruits on the other band gained 5550 carloads. Raisins have increased steadily, the crop now averaging 4600 or 4700 carloads. Wine and brandy shipments were nearly double in 1895 what they were in 1891, while canned fruits fell off neariy 40 per cent, and vegetables aboaut 50 per cent. Mr. Chipman made the prediction in the report that during the year 1900 an export of 75,000 carloads would be made from vineyards, orchards and gardens. A resolution was passed complimentary to Secretary J. A. Filcher. - The election for directors for the ensu- ing year resulted as follows: General N. P. Ghipman, W. H. Mills, 'B. M. Lelong, rank H. Buck, E.W. Maslin, J. S, Em- ery, L. C. McAfee, J. A. Morrissey, J. P. Irish, C. M. Wooster and Mark L. McDon- ald, The directors elected the following offi- cers: General N. P.

A statement is going the rounds as to how M. Floquet got his start in life. It was in 1867, when the Czar of Russia.vis- ited Paris ‘as the guest of Napoleon IIL |y o ‘While the two menarchs were driving to- | gether in the Bois de Boulogne one day, a Pole named Borezowsky fired a pistol at | the Czar, with murderous intent, but missed him. Two days later, while all the | world was ringing with the echoes of that | shot, the two Emperors visited the Palais | de Justice. As they were de-cending the | srand stairway together, Floquet, wearing is advocate’s gown and his 1amous revo- " lutionary hat, sprang squarely in front of | the Czar, causing the latter to halt. Then, waving his outlandish hat in the aston- | shed mona face, he shouted aloud, | “Vive la Pologne, monsieur!” That was | the incident that made him famous, and | which made his political fortune. * Of | course, he was locked up for it, and, in- | deed, it was a bit of bad breeding. Butit made him the hero of the day with all the Republicans and Revolutionists of France.—Westminster Gazette. - Some idea of the terrific force with | which a bird passes ‘hrough the air may be gained from the fact that a common curlew flew through a piece of plate glass a quarter of an inch thick at Turnberry lighthouse, Ayrshire. | NEW TO-DAY.
