Hay Merchants Think Tramps Had a Hand in the Vari- ous Blazes. WHALE-HUNTING FXPEDITION. Governor Budd and Party Expect to Kill a Mammal Off the Farallones. Firebugs have been at work alongthe City {ront for a week past and consider- able damage has resulted. The principal losers have been George Morrow & Co., Somers & Co., C. S. Healy, J. 8. Kim- ball & Co. and Meyer Bros. The scene of operations has been the hay wharf at the foot of Third street, ana many of the sufferers state openly that the fires have been started by men who expected to benefit by the misfortunes ot the owners. Directly the ftire in the bhay is-put out the chief wharfinger notifies all concerned 1o move the stuff at once. If the oroers are not obeyed it is loaded on scows and dumped in the channel at the owner’s expense. In consequence, when a fire is started on the hay wharf traffic in the vicinity comes to a standstill until the damaged hayis removed by any one whom the hay and grain merchants can getto cart it away. Within a week there have been three fires on the hay wharf and the loss has been very heavy. Last Saturday there was an outbreak and one of the biggest stacks on the whari was runined. On Wednesday another alarm was turned inand 1t took the Fire Department and the State fire tug half & dav to put out the smcldering mass. Last Thursday night another fire broke out and considerable damage was done. Morrow & Co. thiuk that the fires have been started by tramps who make their beds 1n the hay every night. ‘‘Doz- ens of them sleep on the wharf every night,” said George Morrow yesterday, ““When they feel like sraoking they smoke and the hot ashes dropping into the hay sets the whole mass on fire.” Traffic on the wharf bas been stopped, owing to the manner in which itis littered with hali-burnt and water-soaked hay. Scows laden with the feed cannot dis- charge, and in consequence the channel is blockaded. By noon to-day it is expected that the wharf will be cleared and com- merce will again move on. The Stockton rate war is in full swing. When the California Navigation and Im- rovement Company cut rates to 25 cents 1t had everything its own way for u week. Yesterday, however, the Union Transpor- tation Company turned the tables on them by cutting the rate to 25 cents for the round trip. In order to secure the low rate for the voyage to Stockton and back the passenger has to go up on the evening boat and return on the one that leaves Stockton the following day. Last night there was not a great increase in the traffic. that individual that {f he attempted such a thing he would be killed iike a rat.

Hoitt, Ph.D., Master* The Union boat carried a number of extra passengers who were attracted by the cheap rate, but the Navigation Com- pany held its own and went away with its steamer crowded, as usual. The figat is bound to be a bitter one and the chances are that the traveling public will be able to get to Stockton and back for 10 cents before the month is cut. The Mail Company’s steamer China has been docked for a general overhauling. Before sailing for China again she will be cleaned and painted and her interior will be disinfected. This will be done in order to clear the vessel from any lurking germs of disease that may be aboard. The rumor about the maii steamer San Juan has beenexplained. One of the com- ny’s small boats ran on the rocks near anzanilio, but was got off and towed to Panama. She will come here for a gen- eral overhauling and in the meantime the San Juan will take her place as an inter- mediate boat. A unique excursion will be made to the Farallones next Sacurday. It will be enFineered by T. C. Wills ‘of J. C. Kim- ball & Co., and among the guests will ba Governor Budd, Harbor Commissioners Colnon, Cole and Chadbourne, Colonei Nunan of Stockton, Commodore Bruce of the San Francisco Yacht Club, Judge Hunt, ex-Director Lawton of the Mint, William Greer Harrison and a dozen others. The (F.ny will be limited to twenty-one and_they will go ont on the Spreckeis’ tug Fearless. Besides the Fearless the steam schooner Noyo will also go out and take about fifty passengers. It will ostensibly be a fishin, excursion, but the two steamers will loo! for bigger game. The Fearless will take out two whale boats, a full whaling outfit and two crews headed by Captain H. M. Gregory. Theideais to capture a ‘‘gray- back’’ whale near the Farallones, and thus give all and sundry a chance of seeing, on a small scale, what is done 1n the Arctie. Captain Gregory is an old whaler and knows exactly how to go to work. His men are all expert boat-steerers and hunters, and they say there will be no aifficulty in capturing a whale—maybe a sperm. an order to_guard against accidents an extra boat will follow the two that are to do the work and an _extra clgtain will go out with Dan Haskell on the Fearless, and there will be no less than three skippers on the Noyo. The excur<ionists expect to have a merry time. There will be a band aboard, and on Saturday night next the two steamers will anchor in Drakes Bay. At daybreak Sunday morning the hunt will begin, and according to Manager Wills, the cry, “There she blows” stould.be heard be- tween 10 and 11 o’clock. Juck Gavin, the boat-header, and Antone Lorienz, the boat-steerer, are voth confident that they will run across a whale between the hours named. Should one be captured, it will be towed to San Francisco and placed on exhibition at some place to be selected by the captains. All the money obtained from tbat source will be turned over to the carnival committee. The British ship Kilmallie arrived from Antwer) l{esmrdl{\, after a long trip of 165 days. l‘: e the other overdue vessels that reached port, she was caught in a heavy gale in latitude 56.40 south, longitude 65 west, and the waves that broke over her did considerable damage. The captain’s gig was washed off the forward house and one of the lifeboats out of the davits. The cabin was flooded, and almost everything movable on deck was washed overpoard. Louis Smith, aged 9 years, is missing from his home'at 40 Minna street, and the Harbor Police are looking for him. The lad’s father told Captain Dunleavy that his son went down to the front to look for firewood at 8 A. M. Thursday, and that he has not been heard from since. Just what has become of the boy no one seems to know, but his father fears that he has been drowned. Tried to Sell Unstamped Opium. Joseph Barnard was arrested yesterdsy and The Hay Wharf at the Foot of Third Street Where Three Fires Have Occurred Within the Last Seven Days. Thousands of Dollars’ Worth of Damage Has Been Done and the Fire Depart- ment Is of the Opinion That the Origin Was Incendiary. charged with having illicit opium in bhis possession. It seems that Barnard attempted to sell forty cans of the unstamped drug to & Chinese on Ross alley, when Officer Jackson unexpectedly turned up ana put & stop to his game. It has not yet been determined whether The opium was of foreign or domestic manu- facture. RED REED ARRESTED. He Profited at the Expense of a Salva- tion Army Man Through the Lock Trick. Ed, alias Red, Reed was arrested yester- day on complaint of William Goette on the charge of petty larceny. Goette isa member of the Salvation Army and but recently came to town. He was fleeced out of some money the day after his ar- rival by two men who undertook to show him the lock trick. He reported the ecir- cumstance te the police, but refused to prosecute, saying that he was a Christian and it was contrary to his professions to send men to jail.” Yesterday he was on Telegraph Hill 'when he fell in with Reed, a notorious bunco man, who, after a brief acquaintance, offered to show Goette just how the lock trick, of which he complained, was done. In the courseof the proceedings Reed gamed $4 50 of the stranger’s money and refused to return it. This was too much even for religion, and Goette made complaint and Reed was arrested. e AN OLD OFFENDER. Laura Gibbons, for Extreme Cruelty, Has Her Bonds Increased. Attorney Schell, who was to have de: fended Laura Gibbons on & charge of cruelty to a minor child, before FPolice Judge Conlan yesterday, withdrew from the case on account of the unreasonable- ness of his client and her fixed determi- nation to apply for a change of venue.

Moore, Hunt & Co. of This City and Jesse Moore & Co. of Kentucky Consolidate. The new company will be known as the Jesse Moore, Hunt Company, and the officers are as follows: Thomas Kirk- vatrick, president; Shirley Moore, vice- presidgent; W. R. Schmidt, secretary; E. ‘W. Taggart, assistant secretary; the Lon- don, Paris and American Bank, treasurer. This change is & most important one for dealers, as they can mnow order from either Francisco or Louisville. The firm of Jesse Moore & Co. was founded in 1853, while that of Moore, Hunt & Co. was established in 1875, and it will thus be seen that the consolidation is that of two old and well-known concerns. It is of further advantage to consumers; in- asmuch as it will guarantee a perpetual and unfailing supply of the f: ld Jesse Moore whhk?.’_ e s A Mining Sait. James Brehant, Arthur Brenant and James Crichton have sued Joseph O'Neill for $8000 damages for breach of contract i with the outfitting of a mining n;:nflx;’.lwn Bruno avenue out to the County line and the waters of the bay, has swung into line for McKinley and home protection. In order that nothing should be left un- done to increase the vote tnat will once more place the Republican party in con- trol of the general Government, by which American industries will be protectea against foreign cheap labor, the young men of this district residing in South San Francisco have organized a district club. There are cogent reasons why the men employed in snd about Butchertown should be strong advocates of home pro- tection. This, together with past expe- rience in the flourishing times enjoyed by the people of this country under Republi- can rule, has convinced those young na- tive sons of the southern section of this peninsula vhat the introduction of the sil- ver pill into the National camipaign is a rank fallacy, and that it is placed there b; the Democratic demagogues to be swai- lowed without inyestigation as to the dis- order it wili undoubtedly bring into the body politic. Those young men, enlightened and edu- cated as they are, know well that the premise of an” abundance of silver money without an opportunity to earn itis T policy and a blind 1gnis-fatuus to ama the gullible into voting for the hurrah- from Nebraska. will not go down the ‘people when on sec- ond thought it -muf- found that South America and Mexico are rich in silver and poor in commerce, and that the mechan- ics ana laborers are paid starvation prices. Those same young, thoughtful men haye thoroughly realized the fact that without protection to labor and manufac- turing industries a general stagnation must follow, and that the theory of an abundance of silver builion be coined into silver money without an opportunity to earn and invest in profitable speculation cuts very little figure to the hard-working man who may have an opportunity to in- vest his silver dimes on imported articles while he walks idly about the streets. With such arguments as those before the people it must not be wondered at that the young men of this City are be- stirring themselves in the organization of district Republican clubs. To join in this popular movement is the intention of the young Republicanson the south side of Islais Creek. William Mc- Hugh, the president of the Thirty-third Assembly District Republican Club, is a young man engaged in the butchering business, and has been a resident of South San Francisco for the past eighteen years. He is popular with the Republicans of his district, and was their unanimous choice for president of the club. John Lankenau is the son of that old stanch Republiican, Henry Lankenau, who in years past wasone of the men who did so- much for the Repubtican party in South San Francisco that the leaders of the party were always ready and willing to consult with him on party manage- ment. He had been at differeat times a member of the County Committee, and in all his connections with the party man- agement acquitted himself creditably. His son gives promise of equal integrity and devotion to the party and the man- agement of the club of which he is an active member. The other officers are equally true and loyal to McKinley and the party and principles he represents. They are Edward J. Turner recording sec- retary, Jerome Milly first vice-president, J. A. C. Dierks chairman executive com- mitiee, William T. Seiver treasurer, John Lankenau chairman of enrolling commit- tee, with William McHugh president, and a membership of 170 names on the books. At the next meeting of the club other committees will be ugpointed and arrange- ments made by which speakers from other &o?wnu of the City will attend from time ime. S Cao MUSIC AND POLITICS. Members of the Republican Con- tinental League Hold an Entertainment. A meeting of the Republican Conti- nental League was held at Saratoga Hall last evening, President Frank D. Worth in the chair and Maurice L. Asher offi- ciating as secretary. Political themes were discussed and made more acceptable by being sand- wiched between instrumental and vocal music, Professor Sichel touching the piano. Applications for membership to the ex- tent of 135 were presented. J. Richard Freud, Mrs. Addie Ballou ana Henry Hutton addressed the meeting. S e Twenty-Ninth Republicans. At a meeting of the Twenty-ninth Dis- trict Republican Club, held last eveaing, Samuel Taussig presiding, speeches were made by F. Hageman, E. H. Lutgens, M. Levy, Dan Crowley and R. Williams. The club unanimously indorsed E. H. Luigens for Recorder. Eighty-five members signed the roll, making a total membership of 356. A committee on uniforms was appointed, consisting of E. Modry, T. W. Fleming, C. Stockwitz, P. Bradley and Cnarles Lewis. The club will hold a grand _ratifi- cation meeting at Metropolitan Temple on August 15. sie gl T The Golden West Club, At the regular meeting of the Golden West Republican Club, held at Federation Hall, a speech was made by Mr. Kyle ex- plaining the gold question. Afterward the club was entertained by Mr. Mack with a song and Mr, Barrett with a recitation. The ciub was represented by about 250 members. The roll-book was signed by twenty new members. After a pleasant evening the meeting adjourned until the 8th day of August. ALMSHOUSE MILK. The Question of Price Before the Hos- pital Committee Yesterday. The Hospital Committee of the Board of Supervisors spent some time vesterday trying to ascertain why the City pays 50 cents a can for milk for the Almshouse when an Alameda County milkman ofters to furnish good milk at 40 cents a can. A number of milkmen were present to testify that good mi'k could not be far- nished for that figure. but the Alameda County dairyman insisted, nevertheless, that the milk was pure and that, more- over, he would send it sealed, so that it could be tested every morning. Super- visor King said that he paid 50 cents a can for milk for his hotel, and asked the rancher if he would furnish milk at 40 cents. The amount being smaller than that furnished the Almshouse, the dairyman would not agree to 40 cents, but offered to send it in for 42 cents. The matter was taken under advisement. B e — The Talk of the Town Is found each Saturday in TOWN TALK, the neatest, brightest and most readable publica- tion of its kind in the journalistic field here- abouts. While considerable space is given to matters political this week in the editorial department, “Editorial Aftermath” and Po- litical Chat,” there is an abundance of lighter reading of every deseription, all of which is uniformly ciean and wholesome, even though it occasionally merges into gossip about well- known people. People who do that which hallenges criticism must expect to be held up as & warning to others to avoid the pace that kills. The latest books and m nes are carefully reviewed in the ‘‘World of Letters,” the Snunterer has some perscnal comments on individuals more or less famous, the stage is considered from a critic’s point of view and society’s migrations are chnronicled. TowN TALK presents some excellent hali-tone ilins- trations this week, among them its of Miss Catherwood and Dr. Grinnell, whose en- nzmufln marks the social event of the mon HIS MONEY FLY. Bought Worthless Bonds and a Mine of No Value. SAYS EE WAS SWINDLED Serious Charges Brought Against Attorney Quitzow and His Wife. PECULIAR BUSINESS MOVES. Transactions That Parted a Carpenter and $8100 of His Money in Four Years. John E. Ciune, who describes himself as ‘‘a carpenter, inexperienced in business matters,” has brought suit against At- torney H. W. Quitzow and Emma Quitzow, his wife, to recover $8105 25, charging that he was swindled of that amount by the defendants. The complaint states that in the year | 1889 Clune was possessed of $800 in money, | a house and lot at 437 Eddy street and | that certain lot of land situated on the northeast corner of Clement street and | Fourth avenue. He was then a happy, care-free mechanic, and went about his work whistlingand full of the joy of simple | existence. But such a state of beatitude | was too good to last. Evil days were in | store for the simple-minded carpenter. | In an unlucky hour he became acquainted | with the Quitzows, who at once took a great interest in him. | In 1890 Quitzow volunteered, so Clune | says, to render any legal services he could for him, and to give him any such advice as he might require in the management of his property and affairs. This interest, the carpenter now claims, was due to the fact that the attorney and his wife were | cognizant of hisownership of the proger(y named, and a conspiracy was formed be- | tween them to cheat and defraud him out of it. In the alleged furtherance of this purpose, Clune was invited to make his home at the residence of the Quitzows, at 915 Eddy street. *On March 7, 1890, he did | 80, and continued to reside with them for | about four years, at the end of which time he had parted with all his property. i Clune had no sooner taken up his abode | at 915 Eddy street than it was represented | to him that Attorney Quitzow could ob- | tain a large amount of stock of the River, | Harbor and Canal Dredging and Land | Company, which stock was said to be | worth $10 per share, at a big discount. | Clune now claims that these representa- | tions were false and that his hosts well knew the stock to be valueless, but never- theless induced him to pay Attorney Quitzow $2805 25, which sum was osten- sibly to be invested in the gold-producing shares of the company with the long, high- | sounding title. In order to raise this money Clune found 1t necessary to sell the property on Fourth lvenu; nfigdmamam street and to mort~ age the y-street property. g ]E:tsr Clune says he authorized Quit- 20w to collect the rents derived from the premises at 427 Eddy street, to pay out of the proceeds the interest due on the mortgage thereon and to hold the balance in trast for him. He now claims he has never received any of the income. In 1892 Quitzow acted as Clune's at- torney in prosecuting a sunit for him in an Alameda County court. While soengaged, it is claimed that the attorney induced his client to invest $1900 in the Emigrant mine by alleging that the mine was worth $10,000 and could be purchased if a pay- ment of hali that amount be made. Quit- zow was to supply the additional $3100 re- quired. Later it was represented to Clune that the mine had been purchased and that money was required to work it. Aec- cordingly he sold the Eddy-street prop- erty and, adding his savings to the pro- ceeds, says he turned overto Quitzow $3400 to be expended in developing the mine. Clune in his complamt alleges that Quitzow never purchased a share of the stock of the River, Harbor and Canal Dredging and Land Company for him, but apprbprfned the money obtained for that purpose to his own use. He also claims that the Emigrant mine is valueless, and that Quitzow so knew, it being assessed in | Shasta County, where it is situated, for only $10. Nevertheless, the attorney pur- chased it, paying $50 cash and giving his note for $50 more, $30 of which has been paid forit. The $3400 advanced to be used in develcping the mine, Clune says, was deposited by Quitzow, $2500 in, the Bank of California and $900 in the Lordon and 8an Francisco Bank in his own name. Therefore, it is claimed that all of the money paid by Clune to Quitzow and wife was obtained through false and fraudulent representations and appropriated to their own use. ‘Wherefore, Clune prays that he be given judgment in the sum of $8105 25, together with interest thereon and costs of suit. ———————— e | NEW TO-DAY.

EFFECT OF ACOMPROMISE By Compounding With Part of a Body Further Proceedings Against It Are Given Up. The Supreme Court has reversed the decision of the lower tribunal in tie case of John Chetwood Jr. against the Cali- fornia National Bank and Richard P. Thomas. The vlaintiff as a stockholder sued for the recovery of $400,000, which he claimed had been lost to the bank through the culpable negligence of the executive com- mittee, composed of Mr. Thomas, presi- dent of the bank, R. R. Thompson, vices president, and Director Robert A. Wilson. The matter was placed before a referee, who neld that the committee was liable for the loss of a sum in excess of $190,000. The plaintiff accepted $27,500 from Thomp- son and Williams and withdrew his action at law against them. The lower court then ordered the president to pay over to Chetwood in trust for the bank the sum of $139,419 with interest. Thomas appealed, and the Supreme Court held his appeal to be weil taken, as Chetwood’s action was against the execu- tive committee of the board of directors, and not severalv against the individual members of it. His compromise with the two members, Thompson anda Wilson, was beld to be tantamount to a retraxit; hence the order of the Supreme Court that the trial court enter judgment for Thomas. e e e Soft down lines the wings of the owl, and thus that bird is enabled to fly with- out making the least sonnd.
