HER CARGO DANGEROUS COAL. The Brabloch and Alexandra With Similar Cargoes Arrived Here on Fire. Grave fears are entertained ior the safety of the British ship Republic, now out ninety-two days from Newcastle, N.8. W., and 15 per cent reinsurance has been psid on her. Longer voyages than the above have been made and no danger antici- pated, but, then, the Republic is a very fast vessel, and on her last voyage from Newcastle to San ¥rancisco made the run in fifty-five days. It is not thelength of time that she is out that is frightening ibe underwriters, however, but the fact that she 1s loaded with Cardiff Colliery coal. The Hollin- wood, with a cargo from the same mine, had to put into a New Zealand port with the coal on fire. On March 23 last the with the cargo on fire and had to be scuttled in Mission Bay. . On the 7th inst. the Brabloch, with the same coal in her bold, arrived off the heads on fire and had to be scuttled off Sausalito. All these facts weigh with the underwriters, and they propose to do all the reinsuring they can at once. The schooner Lizzie Vance now at Oak- land left Newcastie, N. 8. W., nearly a week after the Republic, but she has now been in port nearly a fortnight, and Cap- tain Hardwick reports that L:e encountered nothing but fair weather during his run of seventy-siz days. Captain Hughes of the Republic is well known in Sun Fran- cisco, and his many friends will wait anxiously for further developments. His vessel is 2347 tons burden, teet long, 43 fe:t broad and 24 feet deep. She was built in Sunderland, England, five years ago, and has always been considered one of the crack ships of the English fleet.

She is gomng from here to the Sound in ballast, and at Port Blakeley she will load lumber for Calcutta. Thisis one of the iew, if not only occasion, in which lumber has been shipped from this coast to that far off port.

IS NOT VERY BADLY DAMAGED. Holes in the Hull Will Be Patched With Canvass and the Vessel Pumped Out. After many delays the steam schooner Point Arena finally reached port yesterday in tow of the steamer South Coast. She was run alengside of the wrecker White- | law and the work of righting her was at once begun. The derricks on the wrecker were got into pesition and it was not long before the steam schooner was almost on an even keel. Divers were then sent down to locate the damage and later they nailed canvas on the holes, and*to-day the work of pumping her out will begin. The Whitelaw is one of the finest wreck- ing vessels in America, and although she has not yet had her trial trip, Captain T. P. H. Whitelaw considered her fully ! able to handle the disabled vessel. Steam was got on the boilers and in a few min- utes things were working as smoothly as though the wrecker had been at work for months. Cables were placed under the steam schooner and it was not long before she was on an even keel. The real hard work then began, and that consisted of discovering the damage to the hull. The following divers were employed: E. H. Dolph, Peter Wold, Walter Page, Tom Tucker and Chris Johnson. The | nailing of canvas over the holes in the bottom of the vessel took some time, and Chief Crowley received a dispateh from Den- ver yesterday that the courts there had re- leased Mrs. Emma Yorke, wanted here for felony embezzlement, on the ground that the affidavits were not sufficient to hold her.

This granted, it will ignore the claims of the claiming widow (nee Millard) and her child. The Merchants’ Association has been notified of anold ordinance empowering the Street Superintendent to compel street railway com- panies to repave between the tracks with material similar to contiguous pavements. This would have the effect of removing cobbles downtown, and a test will be made. James P. Slevin, as administrator of the es- tate of Patrick Alsoin, is suing the Southern Py ¢ Company for $20,000 for damages for Slevin's death.

Despite the objection of defendant’s counsel the case of Lillian Ashley against E. J. Bald- win has been continued trom April 29 to May 4.

L0% tnpamcote —_— — College Settlement Work. As the result of the temporary organization effected last Friday afternoon by Miss Susan B, Anthony under the suspices of the San Fran- cisco Settlement Association,of which Professor Barnard Moses is president, the ladies of the Thirty-second Assembly District met yesterday at the residence of Mrs. McCrossen, perfected d elected the following Mrs, Mabel Osborne, - Poltney, secretary; Mrs. asurer. Committees were artments in_pursu- or thoroughly organ- tre: appointed o various dej ance of the plan adopted izing the district. . M. Verdinal the coming and going of the divers drew a large crowd to section 3 of the seawall. They ched the screwing on of the hel- mets the aivers would come to the surface to report progress there would be a rush to hear, if possible, what they were saying. In several instances tle pives that carried air to the divers were trampled on, and finally Captain Whitelaw had to clear the ship in order to save a possible catastrophe. The divers worked methodically, and in a | 1ew hours they bad all the holes in the hull of the Point Arena canvased up. At low water the work of pumping out will begin, and by noon to-day the steamer will probably be ready to go on the Spreck- els drydock. Captain Johnson of the Point Arena, who arrived on the South Coast to-day, makes the following brief report of the disaster: ““April 19 at 7:30 . ., while leaving Point Arena. got a line in the pro- veller, which was made fast from the | steamer Whitesboro to the buoy. Disabled the vessel and she was washed on the | rocks and a hole stove in her bottom. Was hove off an hour later with the steam winch and assistance from the steimer Whitesboro. Signaled the steamer South Coast, which was bound north, and made arrangements to tow to San Francisco.” Captain Hanson of the South Coast re- ports that the tow was net very difficult. After the Point Arena went on her beam ends the main trouble was to just keep go- ing for fear that the engines might drop out of the sunken vessel. *“We could not make more than three or four knots an hour,” said he, “‘and it was mighty lucky for us that we had fair weather or else we | would have been compelled to abandon her. Asit was, we jogged along and finally reached port without any trouble after the | Point Arena went on her beam ends.” The Point Arena does not show many eigns of wear and tear after her rough ex- perience, Some of her bulwarks have been | carried away and her deck houses dam- however, is | achinery are | aged. The standing-rigging, intact, and the hoilers and m; still in place. Once the water is pumped out of her the work of repairing will be- gin at once and about the first week in May the Point Arena will be on her old route again. Captain Hansen of the South Coast is quite a large shareholder in the Point Arena, so what he looses on one instance he will make in the other. The salvage will amount to considerable and Captain Hansen’s share will more than likely leave him money in pocket after all the losses on the Point Arena have been paid. The South Coast only waited here a few hours to take on coal and then started north again under a full head of steam to complete her interrupted voyage. The appliances for wrecking on the Whitelaw are perfect and the automatic air machine is capable of keeping five men supplied continuously. Yesterday it worked perfectly and the divers asserted that the supply of air was 50 per cent more regular than that sent 1o them by the old hand-pumps. th breathless interest, and when | 7uucuaflusmmnmcxs An Ordinance Which Provides for Removal of the Bad Pavement. NEGLECTED BY AUTHORITIES. Streetcar Companies Must Obey the Street Supcrintendent’s Order. A Test Proposed. The attention of the Merchants’ Associa- tion has been called to a City ordinance which provides for improving and keeping in repair the streets between railway tracks. If entorced this law would cause many of the busiest thoroughfares in San Francisco to be completely transformed. Fully 50 per cent of the barbarous cobble pavements would disappear. Thne importance of the ordinance has im- pressed itself upon theofficers of the asso- ciation, who have given it some considera- tion, and intend to go deeper into the question. Some of them are not quite clear on the interpretation of the law, but they say a test case should be made, if for nothing more than to determine the power of the municipality to compel the street railroad companies to keep streets between their tracks in proper condition. The ordinance has al!l the appearance of having been long forgotten and brought tolight after a lapse of vears. Through many of these years it was an open secret that certain streetcar companies par- ticularly interested in cobbles held a pe- culiar influence over the authorities whose duty it was to attend to street matters. At the present time, however, when popular sentiment is strong against the antiquated pavement this old ordinance appears. The Merchants’ Association, which has taken upon itself the general improvement of the streets, will therefore have a good opportunity of stirring up the right people. The interesting ordinance gives the Su- perintendent of Streets the same power as he exercises over sidewalks in which only he can compel streetcar companies to im- prove or repave between their tracks—a power he has neglected to exercise. Here is the ordinance in full: [Railroad corporations to improve and re- pair the roadway between their tracks, on notice from Superintendent of Streets.] Section 5. The Superintendent of Public Streets, Highways and Squares 1s hereby em. powered at his option, by serving notice upon any railroad corporation or company having a railroad franchise to operate a railroad upon | any of the streets of the City and Connty of San Francisco, o require said railroad corpora- tion or company lo grade or regrade o the officiul grade, plank or replank, pave or re- pave, macadamize or remacadamize, or to re- pair that portion of the roadway of any street of this City and County over which the fran- chise of said railroad corporation or compan: empowers them to lay down their tracks an operate their road, for the space occupied or to be occupied by and between the rails of said track or tracks. Between said tracks, should there be more than one laid or to be laid, and for a distance | of two feet on either side of said track or | tracks if 1aid, and on_either side of the space | to be occupied by said track or tracksif yet to be laid, any railroad corporation or com- pany so notified shall, within ten days from and after the service of said notice by said Su- perintendent, cause to be commenced such grading or regrading to the official grade, planking or replanking, paving or repaving, macadamizing or remacadamizing or re. pairing as may be specified in said notice of said Superintendent, and shall continuously prosecute such work and im- proyement to its completion within such a pe- riod of time as shall have been designated %y the said Superintendent in his said notice; vrovided that the said Superintendent shall in all cases require in said notice that the work and repairs to be executed by said raiiroad corporution or company shall be of such a cha: acter as will make the space on the roadway of| said street or streets which said railroad cor- poration or company are required to improve 1o conform to tie nature of the improvement contiguous thereto on the said streets or_por- tion of streets, whether grading or regrading, vlanking or replanking, paving or repaving, macadamizing or remacadamizing. The Market-street Railway Company pretends that this ordinance is not in- tended to apply to streets already accepted by the City, although it speaks of *‘regrad- ing, replanking, repaving and remacad- amizing.” This has Leen construed to mean that the streetcar corporations must repair between their tracks. W here streets are paved after many vears with bitumen or basalt blocks the presumption is that the cobbles have outlived their usefulness as paving material on those thoroughfares. In such cases removinz cobbles and repav- ing them with modern pavement is re- garded as ‘“‘repairs,” and for that reason It Delivered a Sermon on the Dangers of a Sailor’s Life. |Sketched by a *‘Call”’ artist.] i e Five Divers Were Put to Work on the Wrecked Steam-Schooner and Their Operations Drew an Enormous Crowd.

This is the point Kennard & Co. of Chicago Sold the Impure Brand for Good Cheese. As was stated in a former issue of THE CAvL, the name of the firm that has been shipping filled cheese to this City, and the name of the persons to whom it was con- signed, have been withheld from the pub- lic up to date on account of the fact that Inspector William Vanderbilt wished to give the local dealers a reasonable time in which to prove their innocence of eriminal intent betore giving the full facts for pub- lication. The time expired yesterday, and | true to promise, when seen at the offices of | the State Dairy Bureau, the inspector made the following statements as regards the affair: ‘I have made a full investigation of this filled-cheese business, and find the facts in the case to be as follows: ‘“Messrs. De Bernardi & Co., well-known commission merchants on Front street of this City, wrote to A. A. Kennard & Co., commission merchants of Chicago, for quo- tations of full cream cheese, fresh, and for old cheese of cheaper grade. Kennard & Co. quoted prices, and De Bernardi & Co. ordered full cream cheese and some ola cheese of cheaper grade. “The cheese was shipped about March 5, accompanied by a letter from the firm stating that they were full cream cheeses, which contained a postseript to the effect that if they could use any filled cheese they had some that was nice and fresh and could quote itat prices that would leave a handsome profit. They added, however, that they would not ship any filled cheese without informing the per- sons to whom it was consigned that it was filled cheese. “The shipment arrived, and Messrs. De Bernardi & Co. sold it off at once to the retail dealers. April 1 the Dairymen’s Union purchased two of these cheeses for the State Dairy Bureau. One of them had no brand, theother was branded New York State Full Cream Cheese, Stone Creek Fac- tory No. A.G.’ *T'he bureau made a microscopic exam- ination of the cheese which tended to make them think it was impure, and they immeaiately notified the dealers, who promised that they would sell no more of it until a chemical analysis should con- clusively demonstrate whether or not the cheese was filled. “I then took the samples over to the State University and had an analysis made by Professor Hilgard. On April 14 the result of the analysis was sent to the bureau. Itshowed that both of the cheeses were filled, but that one of them was more impure than the other. “The analysis was at once taken 2to Messrs. De Bernardi & Co., who wired the Chicago firm that the cheese was filled and could not be disposed of here. The answer received was a denial that the cheese was filled. De Bernardi & Co. said that they would return the cheese to_Kennard & Co., and I know that this was done to-day. ““Messrs. De Bernardi & Co. have shown me the correspondence on the subject from the first, and, to be just to them, I must say that at no time have they shown a disposition to violate the law. After a full and impartial investigation, the bu- reau is of the opinion that they were im- posed upon when the cheese was shipped to them by Kennard & Co., the Chicago firm."” —————— TO SHOW SKETCHES., No Hanging Committee at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition. The Arts and Crafts Guild will open its sketch exhibition on May 2, the hall decided upon being the old German verein over the Sutter-street market. The exhibition will consist of sketches by members of'the Guild only. There will be no hanging committee, as each artist in the organization will be given a certain amount of s‘mce and well be held respon- eible for filling it with his own work. an aching void here and there confronts the beholders, there will be no difficulty in Jaying the blame at the door of the artists who are responsible for the blank spaces where pictures ought to be.

The amount claimed was for two ele- gant dresses procured from a local firm of dressmakers previous to one of the then Mrs. Auzerais’ trips to Paris. The plan to hold \B her earnings failed, because while Mrs. Hoyte had purchased the interest mentioned sie had not paid for the same. ‘The collectors are still living in hopes that she will pay up her interest and give them an opportunity to attach.
