ALONG THE WATER FRONT Rails for the Santa Clara Railway. REDWOOD LUMBER IN DEMAND. Trouble on the Revenue Cutters Oyer the New Rule in Regard to Rations. At the present time Howard No. 3 is one mous quantity of Eastern freight, and the vessel is kept busy discharging from all | the hatches and from both sides. On the | wharf the general merchandise is un- loaded, and the rails and fishplates for the Santa Clara Valley Railway are discharged into schooners. On Monday last the Car- rier Dove took away a load and yesterday | the Solano toox another. The latter was | alongside the big ship all day, and her captain wisely decided not to attempt the run to Alviso untii this morning. He will will start for the Amoor River. The engines and boilers for a stern-wheel steamer will aiso go up, and the Russians will have a chance to see what California can dc. The Scotts have upheld tie credit of the State and their work on the barges and ma- chinery should bring fresh orders from Vladivostock. The British ship Godiva 1s in a queer predicament. She is loaded and ready for sea, but cannot get away from Long Bridge because of a ridge of mud that bars her passage. The Godiva draws 22 feet, and as the ridge is only 18 feet at hizh water, the vessel cannot pass over it. The mud is soft, however, and three tugs will be put on the ship to-day and she will be pulled bodily through it. There is no truth in the rumor that the Godiva was to be dis- charged. TALKED TO A PURPOSE. J. A. Hull Has Two Years Knocked Off His Sentence. J. A. Hull, alias C. G. Hoyt, was sen- tenced to a vear and a half in the State Prison by Judge Wallace yesterday. Hill bad pleaded guilty to forging acheck on Wells, Fargo & Co.’s bank. He had already served a year in San Quentin for the same offense, committed at the same time and in the same manner, and he bad been arrested as soon as he was released from serving his sentence on the first charge. After pleading guilty he ad- dressed a plea for mercy to the court. He said he had come here from the East and bad got in with a crowd of gay spirits in Los Angeles. He drank a good dealana in a bibulous moment he forged the checks, He pleaded guilty in Los Angeles and was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment.

There is no trade offering between here and New York and the wheat business is dead. Sausalito is likely to have more vessels tied up i tbe bay opposite the town this season than at any time during its luswfi'. When the barkentine Modoc was being towed to sea yesterday she went foul of the_steamer Kahului. Both vessels were at Mission-street wharf and the Modoc was going to sea. The latter had her standing rigging injured cnnsidcrabli' and the steamer lost a portion of her rail and bulwarks. 0. C.

CLIFTON BAOKE IS NOSE The Gay Horseman's Fate on a Chute at Sutro Baths. He Slid Face Downward and Bumped Upon the Bottom Curve—Worse Than a Polo Hurdle. Talbot Clifton, the horseman and eccen- tric capitalist of Burlingame, is once more in trouble. This time it is nothing more serious than a broken nose, which “my Iua” is nursing with mingled sensations of adhesive plaster and disquieting reflec- tions of his latest ambition to be an athlete and one of the boys. He vows that never again shall he essay a plunge into a bath from one of these new- fangled sliding-boards, the use of which has proved disastrous to his lordly dignity and incidentally to his olfactory organ. Clifton paid a visit to the Sutro Baths Thursday night. A tew of his_ intimates accompanied him and the ubiquitous valet, who is better known in Clifton’s haunts as *‘me man.” The promenade and the vastness of the building, with its novelties, its swimming tanks and its louvre fascinated Clifton, who soon became absorbed in the bathers. Riding the water hobby-horses, plung- ing, diving and above all shooting the green, glass chutes apyears to be the acme of sport in his eyes; and he resolved to try them all. “Fetch me a bathing suit, me man,” he exclaimed, delving into a long purse for a dollar. The valet secured a suit and presently Talbot wfieared from a dressing-room in all his athletic magnificence. Of course, the crowd admired hard and fast and the English nobleman wished to be at his best. Sliding down the inclined boards seemed as easy as taking a polo hurdle, and at worst one could only come to the bottom. Nothing was so common-place as shooting downward feet first. Then again Clifton is nothing if not original. 8o he rst and face downward. It was this that caused ail the trouble. Clifton forgot that there was acurve at the bottom of the chute, placed there for the purpose of shooting bathers outward over t e water, and when his forward sec- ! tion reached the cucve his prominent nose was in the way. It struck the plank and Clifton fell in'a lump into the water, with aruddy glow about him. When he ap- peared above the water consternation reigned. “I broke me nose!” yelled my lord. *‘1 broke me nose! Hi! where’s me man?”’ The man was beside the tank instantly. ¢*Call a doctor. I broke me nose.”’ The physician was summoned, and after some delay Clifton was patched up suffi- ciently to be able to reach his rooms. ——————— Teachers’ Warrants.

PRULINE ASKS A DIVORCE James E. Nolan’s Recently Wedded Wife Wants to Be Free Again. THEY WERE MARRIED IN HASTE Sequel of a Ceremony That Took Place Little More Than Three Months Ago. Though but thres months have passed since pretty Pauline Foster, the adopted daughter of Captain Hans Madison, a weal- thy retired sea captain living at 2326 Mission street, became the bride of James E. Nolan of the well-known shoe firm, the young bride has decided that marriage isa failure and has had her attorney file a suit for a divorce. 1t is the old story of marry in haste and repent at leisure, with the usual conse- quence of a legal separation. The wedding was a_great surprise to the friends of both of the parties, as it was noteven known that they were engaged, as indeed they were not until the day the ceremony was performed. Young Nolan called on Miss Foster on December 26 last, after having known her but ashort pe- riod, proposed, was accepted and within an hour the couple, accompanied by a lady friend of Miss Foster, was on the way in a hack to the marriage license office, with- out the relatives of either being aware of their intentions. Cupid Danforth made no objection to granting the necessary document, but when it came to finding some one to tie the knot the sailing was not 8o plain. Father McGinty of Holy Cross Church was first called on, but he asked the young people to wait three days —something they were not willing to do. In their dilemma they sought a Justice of the Peace, who speedily tied the knot and pronounced them man and wife. Not being quite sure how their hurried mar- riage would be taken by their relatives, the newly wedded couple “decided not to make the matter public at once, and started out on a mild careerof dissipation as a honeymoon. With the Justice and an attache of the marriage license office a French restaurant was visited and both liquid and solid re- freshments were partaken of. Later a theater party was made up and the even- ing was spent at a well-known variety show. At first Nolan and his bride seemed very happy, but soon signs of dissatisfaction appeared. and within two months a sepa- ration took place, Miss Foster returning to her adopted father’s home and young Nolan to his relatives. Their friends thought that the quarrel, if any had occurred, would blow over, and that some seeming neglect on Nolan’s part had caused the rupture, but when they re- mained apart for a considerable period mutual fricnds made inquiries, and ascer- tained that the scqaraliou was by mutual consent, and that both had decided that to live together would be to invite unha ppi- ness and render both miserable. ‘When it was found that a reconciliation was impossible they were advised to ob- tain a divorce on statutory grounds, and thus settle the matter for good. Mrs. Nolan accordingly consulted alaw- ver, and the papers in the case were filed on the 1st inst. Itis probable that a de- cree will be obtained by default. Mrs. Nolan 1s a handsome brunette, with dark, liquid eyes and a pretty figure. She is we!l known and popular in the Mis- ;ionoi where she has resided since child- ood. HINTON GOES EAST. He Is Summoned to New York, Whence He Will Leave for Panama. E. H. Hinton, general agent of the Pan- ama Railroad Company in this City, lefc for New York last evening in response to a telegraphic summons from the general manager. He will leave. there on the 10th for Panama. His being called away from his post in this City is thought to signify that the ar- rangements for the reorganizatioa of the Trancontinental Traffic Association have progressed so far that there is no longer any danger of discord. This City is too important a vantage point in case of a rate war to be left unguarded, and it is there- fore safe to presume that before many days notice will be given of advances1n freights all over the country. The general lrciih?. agents of all the biz lines have now been in session for five days, and the fact that absolutely nothing has been made public indicates that their roceedings are harmonious and satis- actory to the railroads however they may be viewed by the public. Had there been any “kicking’ the public would have un- doubtedly heard of it. CONTESTING CHILDRERN. Mrs. Lucy C. Goodapeed’s Will to Be Dragged Into Court. The will of Lucy C. Goodspeed is being contested by her elder children, Anna Amelia Stanford, Orville C. Pratt Good- speed and Jennie Maud Snowgrass. Mrs. i Goodspeed left an estate valued at $300,000 to her two minor children, practically dis- inheriting the older children, who are contesting. The contestants allege that at the time of the execution of the will Mrs. Good- speed was of unsound mind, the effect of a long illness. They also allege that the will was largely the result of the influence held over the testatrix by Daniel Sullivan, one of the executors. Sullivan was made a member of the household, says the docu- ment filed, and ever afterward he held a remarkable influence over her. He kepta strict watch upon her, it is alleged, an: prevented all visits of ner children and her friends. This was done, it is charged, to procure just such a will as was filed, with himseif and Frank Myers as execu- tors, It is further charged that Mrs. Good- speed was made to believe that ner estate consisted of only a few thoheand dollars, when in fact it was worth $390,000. She was told, too, the contestants say, that her elder children were all 1n comfortable cir- cumstances and did not need assistance. —————— REUBEN TUCKER DEAD. Rheumatism Carries Off an Ex-Police Officer and Sexton. Reuben Tucker, who for the last six years had been the agent for the Hawalian Banana Company at 415 Washington street, died at his residence, 1717 Brod- erick street, yesterday morning, atter an iliness of 4 few days. "He was in his usual healch lnst Saturday at the wharf, attend- ing to a consignment of bananas which arrived on the Honolulu steamer of the Spreckels line. On Sunday morning he complained of pains in his legs, which his physician said were caused by inflammatory rheumatism. From the limbs the pains entered bis body, and eventually went to his heart, ang proved fatal. . The deceased was at one {ime a police officer in this City. He served four years on the force, He was appoinied in 1864, and was removed by the McCoppin-Provins guillotine in 1868. He was a native of Ireland, coming to the United States with his parents when a mere child. He had been for a number of years sexton of the Church of the Advent when that structure was on Howard street, and had been a member of the Grand Jury preceding the present one. He leaves a widow and three grown-up chiiuren to mourn his loss. MRS. FRANK WEST DIES. A Cousin of the Princess Poniatowski Passes Away After u Long Yllness. Mrs. Frank West, wife of the wealthy vineyardist of Stockton and daughter of J. L. Sperry of the Calaveras Big Trees, died last evening at the Occidental Hotel. The lady had been sick for many months. About ten days ago her husband, think- inz a change of climate might help her, brought ber to this City. She appears to have taken a little coid, however, for in- stead of getting better she rapidly got worse. For a day or two previous to her death she was very low. our were in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Sperry arrived from tLe Big Trees yesterday, and Mr. and Mrs. George West, the parents of Frank West, also came from Stockton. The deceased lady was the cousin of Mrs. Will Crocker of this City and of the Princess Poniatowski. George West, the father-in-law, 1s the owner of the El Pino vineyard, Stockton. —————— Stole His Own Baby. Charles Cornberger, living at 1534 Howard street, visited the several police courts yester- day in & vain endeavor to secure a warrant for the arrest of his son-in-law, Eugene McGinty. About two years ago McGinty married Corn- berger’s daughter and for a time everythin; moved smoothly. Then the wife grew tired of certain shortcomings on the part of the hus- band, and taking her 12-months-old baby re- turned to the home of her parents. The hus- band agreed to the separation, merely stipu- lating that he should be allowed to see the child whenever he calied. Thursday McGinty called on his wife, and after a few moments asked that he be allowed to take the baby out for an airing. When an hour had passed the mother became uneasy. and made a hasty but futile search for the missing one. Lafer it was learned that McGinty left with the baby for Oregon on the 5 o’clock train. Warrant Clerk Graham told Cornberger that the case ‘was not one in which the police courts could afford relief. MORTEAGES HIS SHARE, General W. H. H. Hart Borrows on His Interest in the Blythe Estate. L. P. Drexler Loans the Attorney $60,000, and Mrs. Hinck'ey Becomes Surety. Attorney W. H. H. Hart, one of the lawyers in Florence Blythe - Hinckley’s fight for her father’s millions, has mortgaged his contingent shure of the great estate in order to raise funds to carry on some of the big commercial transactions in which he is engaged. A document was filed in the Record- er’s office yesterday in which Mr. Hart acknowledges the receipt of $60,000, and for which he gives as security twelve twenty-fifths of his share in the estate as security, with the proviso that he 1s to be allowed to borrow not to exceed §$25,000 more on the sume security. By an agreement filed at the same time Mre. Blythe-Hinckley agrees to become surety for Hart ior the amouant borrowed. The instrument recites that she has agreed to pay Mr. Hart one-eighth of the value of the estate for his efforts on her behalf, with the option of paying him its cash value any time before May 1, 1.7, and that Hart, by an instrument dated March 11, 1896, had mortgaged a twelve twenty-fifth_interest in his share of the | estate to L. P. Drexler for $60,000, with the privilege of borrowing not to exceed $25,000 more. She then agrees that in the event she elects to pay Hart the value of | his undivided one-eighth interest in the | estate as specified in her deed of February 29, she will retain_enough to pay Drexler. The instrument was executed by both Hart and Mrs. Hinckley as parties of the first part and L. P. Drexler as the party of the second part. PRESIDING JUDGE CALLED The Fee Bill of 1895 Considered by the Grand Jury. Disorderly Conduct of Newsboys at Powell and Eddy Streets Complained Of. The fee bill of 1895, which the Recorder disregards and which the Sheriff does not fully comply with, was the subject of a long and animated discussion by the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon. The jury’s expert, Horace D. Dunn, pre- sented an elaborate report of his recent in- vestigation in the Recorder’s office, but | the statement was deemed incomplete and the expert instructed to complete it. The point was raised in the jury-room that a case was pending in the Supreme Court which was brought to determine whether the fee bill of 1895 or the old law should govern in the coliection of fees, and while that case was undecided the jury could take no steps to_compel officers to observe the new Jaw. Evidently some of the jurors held to the opinion that the iaw as passed by the Legitlature of 1895 re- pealed the former law, and that it was the duty of public officers to obey it until the Supreme Court set it aside. To get more light on the dark subject than the jurors them- | selves possessed or the agreeable Assistant District Attorney Black was able to reflect it was decided to call in Superior Judge Slack. His Honor the Presiding Judge visited the smoky precincts of the jury- room, and it was ascertained after his de- parture that he advised the jury to wait until the Supreme Court handed down a decision. ’ 1n the investigation which may lead to the indictment of a gang of forgersand perjurers for forging the name of Mrs. Christy and swenring‘ that the forged sig- nature was made by Mrs. Spencer the jury yesterday called as witnesses Mr. Magin- s, the stenographer; W. F. Spencer and Detective Dillon, It was thought that an indi tment would be returned yesterday afternoon, but the session of the jury was continued long after the hour for the ad- journment of courts. : ‘ Mrs. Spencer is now in San Francisco and has presented conclusive proof to the Grand Jury t at she was in Chicago on the day that the forgery was committed. Attorney William Gilbert submitted to the Grand Jury a statement concerning an assault made upon John Garigues, a vag- etable dealer, bv s man named Truett. Garigues and his daughter Nina were wit- nesses. Frank P. McLennan, secretary of the Grand Jury and & _member of the Police Department commiitee, nas decided to call the attention of the Chief of Police to the disorderly conduct of the newsboys at the corner of Powell and Eddy streets. Recently Mr. McLennan intervened to prevent a Chinaman from being molested in a ruffianly manner, whereupon the newsboys lined up on the street and jeered at the secretary. The =ttention of Officer Young, on duty at the corner, was then and there directed to the unruly proceedings, and further steps will be taken to preserve order in that locality. Mr. McLennan says no man hasany more sympathy or respect for boys who sell papers for a living t. an he enter- tains, but he is determined to restrain the big boys from disorderly conduct on the street and to abolish, if possible, acts of rowdyism on that particular corner of the City. hysicians | Bread and cake raised with pure cream of tartar and so Receipt book free.

NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS, 2+ LESSZS ANDPANAGERS - ++ THE LAST MATINEE TTO" DAY Of Course All the Ladics and Children ‘Will Come to See the Only Great SINE A D! 3-LAST PERFORMANCES—3 J. P. Inglis, the contracting agent of the | Union Pacific Railway Company in this | City, is half-crazed, so his friends say, over the several suits his wife has brought against him. Mrs. Inglisdoes not want a divorce. She wants support. 1f she obtained a legal | separation from her recreant spouse,which | her attorney, H. A. Massey, says she could | do without trouble, she fears there would be much difficulty in getting alimony. | In her complaint for maintenance Mrs. Inglis alleges that another woman hss‘ estranged her husband’'s affections. If | she secured a divorce she believes that | Inglis would marry this ‘‘other woman” | immediately and that she could not get her alimony without much difficulty, if at all. | Pending the suit for maintenance the court granted Mrs. Inglis $53 a month, but the odd part of that story is to be told. | Inglis claims that his wife has in her | | possession & stamp album belonging to | him which is valued at $500 or $600. He | tried to get the album by all possible means without resorting to the law and | failed. Finally it was decided to take her | | deposition as to the whereabouts of the | | valuable stamp collection. | The deposition began at 10 o’clock in the morning. Mrs. Ingiis testified that the | album was in the possession of Mr. Frank- | Jin at the Sutter-street carhouse. The at- | torneys for Mr. Ingiis lost no time when | that admission was made in sending to | Mr. Frank!in for the $500 album. Butv Mr. Franklin had been instructed by Mrs. In- glis to give the album to some one whose | | name she was not to be told at half-past | | 10 the same morning. | "When the angry attorneys asked her | why she had said the coveted album was | where they found it not, she smiled and | said she nad spoken the truth; she had given it to Mr. Franklin, and when the question was asked her it was still in that gentleman’s possession. Attorney Miller wanted the lady pun- ished for contempt, but Judge Slack could not see it in that light. Inglis resigned his position with the Uaion Pacific on the 1st of the month. | Mr. Shoemaker, the chief representative | of the company on this coast, corroborates | the statement made by Inglis in his | answer—that he has tenderea his resigna- tion, and adds that he is trying to prevail on Inglis to reconsider bis determination. He is one of the most prominent and suc- cessful contracting agents on the coast, and earns a large salary. The company will not lose his services if it can help it, and for that reason he has been urged to settle with his wife and get back to busi- ness. Mrs. inglis’ next step was to bring an injunction suit toenjoin her husband trom leaving the State or disposing of any of his mining stocks, which her attorney, Mr. Massey, says are estimated to be worth between $50,000 and_ $75,000. She haa heard that he intended to convert his stock holdings into cash and leave for parts unknown and take their child with nim. She was informed tbat he intended to kidnap the child and her injunction suit is now before the court. They have been married thirteen years, and, according to Mrs. Inglis, they lived as happily as most persons treading life's path double in the holy yoke until the un- | known and ner namelessattractionscaused the estrangement. She says that ever since his infatuation her husband has systemat- ically neglected her. If she cannot regain is love and loyalty she does not intend that the other woman shall get more than | her share. | | Columbia Council’s Reception.
