6 THE N FRANCISCO C ALL, SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1896. FOR GOLDEN GATE A GOLDEN CROWN. Some Brilliant Scenes of the Great Future Carnival. A MINISTERS’ CONGRESS, Editors of Interior Journals to Be Feted by the Press Club. PETITION OF 8000 WHEELMEN, Leading Citizens Speak Concerning the Fiesta and Make Valuable Suggestions. ‘‘Hurrah for the San Francisco Carni- val,” say the merchants of the City; “we D. S, Do, are zoing to have something in the line of a fiesta that will be one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever witnessed in the State of California.” The seven committeemen appointed to name the twenty-five men best calculated to represent the interests of the com- munity, and to be the general directors of the affair, are also in the best of spirits over the outlook ahead. The only rock in the path of progress, how to raise ample funds for all purposes. has been happily settled by Colonel An- drews’ clever scheme of having 125,000 medals struck off and sold in advance at P. L. Lilienthal. $i each, the medal to entitle the wearer to a seat auring th.e whole length of the car- nival. The feasibility of this plan is apparent when it is borne in mind that tribunes are to be erected along the principal streets, where the features of the carnival are to and that seating room will bout doubt be at a premiuin. Another meeting of the committee was Lield vesterday afterncon in the Baldwin Hotel and further steps taken to have all the preliminaries hermoniously arranged. A full quorum was present. A finance committee was appointed, composed of fifteen of the most prominent men in the City—menof recognized hon- esty and probity of character, whose word is as good as ¢old. All the money received and disbursed in relation to carrying on the carnival will pass through the hands of this committee. A partial list was also made out of the twenty-five men who are practically to have charge of the whole affair. It has not yet been decided what name these men will receive—board of directors or executive committee. They will, however, be designated by one or the other of these terms. A petition was received from 8000 bi- cyclists, asking that one day or night be set aside for them to make an exclusive display. Whether this will be done or not will depend entirely upon the committee of twenty-five, but as it meets with the approbation of & majority of the tempo- rary committee, and is also seconded by many of the prominent merchants, it looks asif the knights of the wheel will gain their desire. A fitting conception of the grand scale upon which the prime-movers for the fiesta intend that it shall be carried out may be gathered from some of the projects dis- cussed at their various meetings, It is intenaed that the carnival shall be introduced by a *‘coronation ot the Golden Gate.”” If it is found feasible the Gate will be arrayed in gala attire. Electric lights will be stationed on each side and on vessels. Fireworks will abound und -dc} brilliancy and excitement to the spec- tacle. Then the queen of the occasion will sail into the Gate along the straits in a vessel ablaze with aecorations and electric lights. All the men-of-war in the harbor are toact as her escort. It is also intended that one day shall be set apart for the ladies, and ample funds will be provided them to make theirday a rea-letter day. The militia from all over the coast States will be invited to come and join in givin, a grand exhibition, accompanied with all the pomp and pageart and panoply of war. The minisiers are 1o be invited to come from all poiuts in the State with messages of peace; and one day will be a ministers’ congress. It is expected that their broth- ers of the cloth here will entertain them during their visit. In ’tzhe same manner the editors of all the interior journals are to be given a special invitation. They will have things made pleasant for them by the Press Club. The streets are to be decorated so besuti- fully that onlookers will imagine them- selves in a fairyland of dreams. 200,000 people that are expected to make an excursion to San Francisco during the fiesta are not going to be disappointed, e committee say. z 3 t'h(}enaral erfi!{d, chairman of the tem- The | MANY, May 23.—The funeral services over porary committee, was seen in regard to! the carnival at. the California Hotel. He | was all smiles in an instant. *Yes,’’ he said, *‘we are much encour- aged at the interest manifested even in the inception of the project. “Every one seems desirous to make an immense success of the fiesta, even though ne sacrifice bis own interests in so doing. “There is no doubt that a carnival will hereafter be one of the annual features of the City."” The rest of the committee voice thesame sentiments as General Warfield. So far ihere has been no division of opinion as to | how the affair shall be conducted. | And now for the opinions and sugges- tions of the prominent business men. Some have one feature to_suggest, some another, but there is one point upon which they are unanimous—it will be a great thing for the business and pleasure inter- i ests of this City. Adam Grant of the firm of Aurphy, Grant Co. was one of the most enthusiastic. | “I tell youn,” be declared, *‘this ought to be and in all probability will be a grand affair. 1am heartily in favor of it. I should be glad to serve upon the com- | mittee for I am thoroughly alive to the good the carnival will do this City, but the | state of my business is such as to prevent me. When another one recurs I intend to be on hand. If my son Joseph were here iwould endeavor to put him on some committee where he could assist in ad- vancing the interests of the piace.”” A. 8. Baldwin of Baldwin & Hammond is another citizen who is keenly interested in the proposed fiesta. His ideas on some of its features are not only original, but meet with the approval due their enter- prise and uniqueness. ‘'As a general proposition,” he said, “I think it a fine thing for San Francisco, and if got out on certain lines will bring a vast number of people here. *I think sports should be the leading feature of the affair. Now, there will be a week of festivities, and my idea is that at least half of that time should be given up to sports. Stereotyped shows, processions and parades are worn threadbare. ‘‘Let us have one whole day of horse- racing with the Jargest purses ever offered, | one day for athletic games of all kinds, one day for a naval demonstration in the bay, wherein not only the warships and vessels of newest design could be entered, but old and curious craits of every descrip- tion; aday for a parade of metropolitan industries ‘only, and one for State indus- tries. “These are some of the features which to my mind would tend to place the affair | on a bigh plane and add the element of uniqueness. Then there should be a night parade for bicyclists out on Van Ness avenue, where the whole scene could be attractively illuminated with Chinese and Japanese lanterns, and the performers and David Rich, buildings tastefully decorated and fes- tooned with flowers and club colors. “If these affairs were placed under the direction of men who are experts, such as Irving M. Scott for the naval display and Greer Harrison for athletics, there can be no doubt that all former affairsof the kind would be totally ectipsed.”’ | James D. Phelan spoke in a similar | strain as regards the general proposition | of the carnival, and favors a briliiant elec. trical display similar to that at Sacra- mento. Many other men, prominent in the busi- ness, social and political world, expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the com- ing fiesta. They not only are pleased with the idea, and wish it success, but they can Gencral Warfield. all be depended upon to render the finan- cial aid that will make it a success, Next Monday evening the committee of seven meet acain in the Baldwin Hotel, and at the regular meeting next Tuesday the names of the twenty-tive agreed upon as the board of directors or executive committee will be submitted.

CUNNINGHAM'S STORY He Thinks He Gave Him a Litt Last Week Near Guer- neville, PREDICAMENT OF THE WIFE, Her Husband Took the Receipts for Her Two Boxes of Household Goods. 1t is now three weeks since Henry Sie- fert, the Ohio farmer, disappeared from this City with his $4000 wad of greenbacks. His whereabouts are still a profound mys- tery. The police authorities and the Coroner have been notified of the circumstances of the case, but cannot say withany certainty that Stefert has committed suicide or been murdered. It has been suggested by his recent lo- quacious landlady at 523 Stevenson street, that he has merely taken the train and gone back to Cincinnati to escape the growling of his wife, who still tarries in San Francisco. This, though, is but a feminine suppo- sition and lucks a logical verification. Seitert had been negotiating with A. M. Speck & Co., the real estate agents, for the purchase of a small chicken and fruit ramch at Kenwood, Sonoma County. He Jeft here to take a look at the place, stayed over night in Kenwood and then left for a destination seemingly known only to himseif. He is described as a middle-aged man, of medium height, with blue eyes, brown hair and a sandy mustache. He hadon a Derby hat, s brown suit of cloths and a gray overcoat with a velvet collar. Louisa Siefert, the wife, has consulted with Captain Lees and traveled to Sonoma County, but without getting any trace of her missing husband. “Iam sure I don’t know what can have become of him,” she said. “There is not any reason, so far_as I am informed, for him to go away. We have been merried only a few months. Iam his second wife, and he has chilaren by bis first wife living in Ohio. It is a very awkward predica- ment for me to be in, as he lefit me very little money. ‘‘There is some money at the Postoffice for him, but I cannot.draw it. There are also twé boxes of household goods, for which he has the receipts, lying in the freight depot of the Southern Pacific. “I took s photograph of him to the Morgae to-day, so that in case of his body HENRY SIEFERT. being found it could be identified. It is ssible that { may hear from_ him before ong if he is still’ alive, but I am sure I don’t know what to do or what to expect.” Late last night the following dispatch was received irom Santa Rosa, showing that the truant farmer is probably still in the land of the living: SANTA ROSA, Car., May 23.—The fact that Henry Seifert has disappeared from public view with $4000 in greenbacks in his pockets leads many to believe that this large sum in ready cash cost the un- fortunate man his life. It is known that he exhibited a roll of bank bills in several saloons in San Francisco before starting for Kenwood and that he told several peovle where he was going. The report that he called for his mail in Kenwood one day last week lacks confirmation, and tke police of this city do not believe he got beyond the water front in San Francisco. Jobn Cunningham, who lives on the narrow-gauge railroad beyond Guerneville, reports hauling a stranger over the grade from the Summit to French’s old mill one day last week. Cunningham’s descrip- tion, though vague, will fit the missin man. He says he was perhaps 35 years ol age, evidently a German and a stranger in that section. He seemed adverse to telling his des- tination or where he hailed from, but of- fered to pay for his ride with a $10 bill. The theory that Siefert was followed to Kenwood bz:hug- from San Francisco, to whom he had exhibitea his wealth, and was there waylaid, is not believed here. The advent of a stranger into Kenwood, and a prospective buyer of land at that, is an incident not likely to be overlooked or soon forgotten in that quiet village and the residents are quite sure that a_search of the vicinity would prove unavailing. REFUSED ALABAMA MONEYX. Stand of a Trust Company in the Appli- cation for a Loan, NEW YORK, N. Y., May 23.—The Sun says: ‘‘Asan evidence of the interest in this sound money question, it may be stated that a well-known trust company in New York refused yesterday to make loans on Alabama State warrants. The directors of the trust company met to consider the application of the State of Alabama for the loans on warrants, and in view of the speeches in the United States Senate of Pugh and Morgan the unanimous vote of the directors was against granting the loans. The State is to speak first in the roll- call of the Republican National Conven- tion at St. Louis, and from present appear- ances there is every likelihood that the Re- vublican delegates from this State will shout for silver money. **The directors of the trust company said they had no sentiment about the matter, but that 1t was purely a business transac- tion and they believed they were justified in refusing loans to Alabama.” —_— Steamboat Men Fatally Scalded. ALPENA, Micu., May 23.—A big flue in the boiler of the steamer Rhoda Stewart blew out while the vessel was passing Middle Island this morning. Henry Kes- ton, the second engineer, and Robert Mc- Norton, a fireman, were so badly scalded that they died before they could be brought into port. S G Death of Mrs. E. C. Storey. CHICAGO, I, May 23.—Mrs. E. C. Storey, an old and well-known resident of Chicago and widow of Wilbur F. Storey, died at her residence last night. Herdeath was unexpected and attributed to heart disease. 7 SACRAMENTO SUIT ENDED! Judge Henry Decides That Mrs. Lee Was Not Defrauded by Gregory. Regrets That She Lost Her Money and Urges the Ex-Mayor to Repay It. | SACRAMENTO, Can, May 23.—The suit of Mrs. Adelaide T. Lee of Red Bluff against ex-Mayor Eugene J. Gregory of this city for obtaining $9000 under false pretenses was dismissed by Judge Henry this morning and Gregory stepped from the courtroom a free man. In dismissing the case Judge Henry said that he had arrived at a conclusion which was satisfactory to himself and he believed was ruling according to the law and the evidence. It was to be regretted, said the court, that Mrs. Lee has lost her | money and in his opinion it was the duty | of the defendant to make payments to her | of all the sums claimed by her. In the opinion of the Judge Mrs. Lee had been ill-advised. The court failed to find suffi- cient ground to prove that any fraud had been practiced. He had decided to grant the motion to discharge the defendant and he made an order to that effect. Gregory’s bondsmen were also exenor- ated. e | INDIAN WAR BONDS. Claims of Coupon-Holders Heard in Court at Sacramento. | SACRAMENTO, CaL., May 23.—Judge Catlin to-day listened to the testimony in | the case of claimants for interest on In- | dian war bonds issued in early days by the State of California. Bonds were issued by the State in 1852 to raise money for carrying on war aganst the Indians. Subsequently, when the war | was over, the State made application to | the National Government to pay these bonds and the Government made an ap- | propriation to do so. The bonds were | sent to Washington, where it was found that the appropriation was not sufficiently large to pay both principal .and interest and the interest coupons were clipped and sent back to the owners. It isupon these coupons that suit is now being brought, toere being forty or fifty claimants, whose claims aggregate $80,000. —— INDICTMENTS QUASHED. [ County Supervisors Profit by an Errvor of the Grand Jury. | SACRAMENTO, Car., May 23.—The in- dictments against Supervisors of Sacra- mento County for malfeasance in office were'quashed by Superior Judge Hinkson, on the grounds that the defendants were compelled to appear before the Grand Jury as witnesses against themselves. The District Attorney held that the proceed- ings of the Gnmi’]ury were of the form of civil proceedings, blfi the court held they werejin the nature a criminal action. The court instructed the District Attorney to resubmit the matter at the next sessi of the Grand Jury. Spety e g T 4n Explosion of Firedamp.
