BOARDING-MASTERS AT WAR. Sailors More Than Plentiful and Wages Being Cut in All Directions. rafts of lumber to San Francisco, but very few have been successful. During the last year over half a dozen have been built, but all, save two, have got away from the steamers that bad them in tow and went to pieces on the rock-bound coast of Men- docino. One of the twain gotin yesterday, and created a greal deal of excitement on the water front. It is 528 feet long, 51 feet wide and 31 feet deep. Itcontains 450,000 feet of Ilumber, and draws 21 teet of waler, while the freeboard is 10 feet. On this occasion the Southern Pacific plays in luck, as the piles are to be used on its Oak- land water-front lots. On two previous occasions the railroad company's rafts have gone to pieces, and the ventures proved to be a total loss. The Mineola was five and three-quarter ington side of the river, and was_towed to the bar by one of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company’s boats. In order to cross the bar extra power was required, so the Spreckels’ tug Relief was called into | service, and she towed the raft over the obstruction and out to sea, where the Mineola pickea it up. The report of Captain Pillsbury of the Mineola is as follows: On Thursday, August 20, at 6 P. M., took raft in tow off Columbia River lightship and pro- ceeded toward San Francisco with fair weather and moderate variable winds, a heavy Many attempts have been made to tow | days towing the raft from the Columbia i River. It was built at Stella, on the Wash- now on their way here from Panama. Manager Schwerin explained that the steamers only carried two chronometers each, and that one could not be spared. Captain Luttrell will, in consequence, have to go to San Jose de Guatemala in order to get his clock fixed. ‘here were lively times around Lom- bard-street wharf yesterday. The steamer Ukiah cf the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company brought down over 2000 ho:s from Mendocino and Marin counties, and they were all landed on East | street about noon time. From that up to 4 p. M., there was a continual procession of pigs along East and across Market to the abattoirs. Every timeadrove camealong the cars were stopped, and more oaths’ were uttered in five minutes than would patch Kearny street. Out ot the entire consignment only five died on the way. The United Statesship Alert came down from Mare Island yesterday. She will re- main here for some time, as her crew has to be recruited. Sailors are plentiful, but ‘they don’t seem to appreciate service in the navy. % Y % The Dutch ship Adnana, which sailed from Santa Rosalia for Falmouth. Eng,, some months ago, has put into Rio de Janeiro in disiress. Many of her sails were blown out of the boltropes, her main topgallant mast and jibboom were carried away and her deck beams were broken. The vessel was caught in a hurri- cane and came near foundering. Trouble is brewing on the water front among the boarding-masters. Some of | the “runners’”’ have more business than the others and jealousy is rife. Last Tues- day night the boats of Thomas Murray, | J.” McMahon, W. McCarthy and W. Thompson were wrecked. The falls and sails were cat to pieces, and the oars and boats were sodamaged that it will be a week before the owners can use them | again. The men named were known as | the ‘‘cut-rate boarding-masters,” and a preconcerted movement is on foot to drive them out of business. | The schooner Annte Larsen, now load- | ing at the foot of Berry street for Central America, will take away two big lighiers | to be used in the coffee trade. They are 46 feet long, 12 feet broad and 5 feet deep. B. McMauon & Sons have begun work on Folsom-street wharf. “The structure will be torn down and a whart similar to Pacific street will be put up. The Oceanic Steamship Company will then again take | possession of its old quarters. Toere has been a change on the bark Columbia. When, she goes out sgain Captain Jones will have retired and Captain Gibson, late chief officer of the whaleback City of Everett, will be in com- mand. Captain Jones will take a well- earned rest. $2000 FOR A GOOD WIFE Aaron Gartenberg Provided as Much in His Will at the Time of His Second Marriage. | The will of Aaron Gartenberg was filed yesterday for probate. The value of his estate is not known, but it is thought to be large. In this will, dated February 11, 1891, is the following clause: Igive and bequeath unto Lena Goldberg. residing in the City and County of San Fran- clsco, State of California, to whom I am this day to be married, in consideration of her be- coming my wife and remaining & true and fajthiul wife to me until my death, the sum of At the time of the execution of the will bration of Admission day at Stockton. The will of Aron Gartenberg was filed yes- | terdey. He was 69 years of age when he drew | the document and in it provided that $2000 ! should go to his second wife should she prove true to him.

Itis understood that under the plan of fusion with the Populists, Monteith, McGlashan, Rog- ers, Maguire and Barlow will be turned down and the Democrats will take six of the seven Congressional Districts. Mrs, Barbara Bossert, a widow living at 108 | Langton street, got married to Jacob Schmidt after a few hours' courtship, and yesterds; she swore to a_complaint charging him wit embezzling $1240 from her. Suit was begun by the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society to_foreclose & mortgage on prop- erty owned by William H. Howard on a mort- gage for $150,000, on property on Clay, Mont- gomery, Second and Natoma streets. Mrs. Rafael de la Silva, wife of a wealthy | Mexican of La Paz, reported to the police yes- terday that some one had stolen $2,700 worth | of diamonds from her room. The jewels were taken from a bag containing $10,000 worth. Richard Sherlock, nurse at the City and | oty Hospital, was formaily charged yester- y & Coroner’s jury with criminal negli- gence in the matter of the deaths of Netcher | and Murphy, which occurred a few days ago. ; The second annual report of the executors of the estaie of John S. Doe was filed yester- showing receipts for the year of $78,562 29 and expenditures $86,833 88, of | which $49,000 was paid to Mrs. Doe and her daughter.

It Is Rumored That 2 $10 Assessment ‘Will Be Levied. The Olympic Club divectors met for the last time last night in that capacity. There were six present, viz., Eaton, Gunn, Kelly, Owens, White, Bosworth and Gill. The only business of importance transactea related to a charge brought by F. V. King- ton, the champion heavy-weight wrestler and prominent football player, against Jack McGlynn, who, it is charged, offered Kington a cash consideration to desert the ranks of the Olympic football team and play with the Peerless football team, of which McGlynn is manager. The matter was tabled. The new directors will take their seats on Wednesday, September 9. It was rumored around the club last evening, that owing to the depleted condi- tion of the treasury and the many im- provements 1n the club that are necessary, an assessment of $10 will be levied on the members. The supposition is that a vigor- ous objection wiil be instituted against the i proposed assessment by some of the mem- bers, but as funds are very necessal assessment will certainly be levied, or | otnherwise a raise in the monthly dues of the members must follow.

The latter boats steered the unwieldy mass and altosether they finally landed it in Ozkland Creek. There it will be broken up and used just as de- sired. By safely landing the raft in San Francisco bay the railroad company is just $11,000 ahead of the game. Captain Luttrell of the schooner Vine, now at Acajutia, is in a peculiar predica- ment.

He was a heavy man ana in falling struck the sidewalk with the back of his head. He was picked up uncon- scious and carried into his house. He re- mained unconscious uuntil yesterday after- noon, when his friends becoming alarmed, haa him removed to the Receiving Hos- pital. The doctors there came to the conclusion that he was suffering from a fractured skull. He remained in an unconscious state till about 8 o’clock last night when he died and his body was removed to the Morgue. 2 One of the young men who knocked Best down was arrested shortly after the assault, and was taken to the Southern police station by Policemen O'Connor and Fav and booked on the charge of battery. His name is Thomas L Linsky, and he works in a cannery on Brannan street. Linsky was removed to the City Prison Tuesday evening, and at 10 o’clock was re- leased on giving $100 bonds. His case was calied in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning, but a continuance was granted till to-day. kg As soon as Captain Spillane learned of Best’s serious condition he instructed O’Connor and Fay to bring Linsky in so as to hold him pending the result of Best's injuries. They learned that Linsky had yesterday morning sent in his time- card at the cannery and drawn his wages. He had not been at his home and the po- lice were afraid thntil learning of Best's critical condition, he had left the City. Captain Spillane detailed other officers who know Linsky on the case, and every effort is being made fo find him and the two young men who were with him. ‘When arrested they will be charged with murder. - A boy called at the Receiving Hospital las. night ana_said that after the youn men had knocked Best down they kick: him on the head.

Lw“.- & Compgoy , m A BIG MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE, The Hibernia Savings and Loan Society Sues W. . H. Howard. OVER 8150,000 INVOLVED The Property Covered Is Located on Clay and Montgomery Streets. PROVISION FOR A RECEIVER. Interest Has Been in Default for More Than Seventeen Months. Buit was entered yesterday by the Hiber- nia Savings and Loan Society to foreclose a mortgage for $150,000 held against prop- erty owned by William H. Howard. The loan was made on the 12th of Decem- ber, 1888, on a mortgage and the accom- panying promissory note. The property mortgaged lies in different parts of the City—one piece on Second street, north. side, near Natoma, another on Natoma street near Second, anotber on How- ard street near Second, another on Second street near Natoma and another on Natoma near Second; another on Howard near Second, another on First' street near Mis- sion, another on Montgomery street near Clay and another on Clay street near San- some. The interest on the mortgage has been in defanlt since March 12, 1895, and pay- ment has been demanded of the interest and of the promissory note; but both have remained unpaid, hence the suit. The terms of the mortgage r-quire that in such default a receiver be appointed to coliect the rents of the mortgaged prop- erty and apply the net proceeds of the same to the payment of any deficit that may remain to the plaintiff after the sale of the mortgaged property. Also by the terms of the mortgage the buildings on the property were to be kept insured for the security of the mortgagee in the sum of $15,000, and the mortgagor failing to effect such insurance the mort- gagee might do so, the mortgagor being liable for the cost of the same. This had been done by the mortgagee, and the sum was still due, together with interest at the rate of 2 per cent per month. JUDGE PRONISES SPEED Argument on the Demurrer in the Case of the “Selid Seven.” The Points Pro and Con Made by Genera! Dickinson and Dis- trict Attorneys. Arguments on the demurrer to the in- dictments of the seven Supervisors by the Grand Jury were heard yesterday fore- noon by Judge Seawell, the accusation against the Supervisors being willful and corrupt malfeasance in office in reducing the assessments of several large corpora- tions. None of the Supervisors were present, and it was not a phase of the celebrated case which attracted or interested a large audience. General John H. Dickinson represented the Supervisors, and the in- terests of the people were looked after by District Attorney Barnes and Assistant District Attorney Hosmer. General Dickinson stated his objections to the complaint, and argued that it was defective in that there was a misjoinder of a1ties because only seven of the Board of upervisors were accused. He contended that as the board consists of twelve mem- bers, the charges should have been placed at the door of the whole board and the seven alleged 10 be guilty picked out after- ward. He also argued that the indict- ment was insufficient because it chargea only general corruption -and made no showing of specific wrong-doing, and that it was defective because more than one offense was charged therein. District Attorney Barnes opposed the oints made by the Supervisors’ attorney. i{e claimed that under several Supreme Court decisions and the code as many charges as were considered necessary could be made in support of an accusation of corruption. He held that a proceeding of this kind is an impeachment, and that a wide latitude of accusations is proper. He contended that there had been no misjoin- der of parties because the charge was made individually in their capacity as officials NEW TO-LAY—AMUSEMENTS. MECHANICS’ INSTITUTE PAVILION.

The word ‘“‘cor« ruptly’’ under the penal code he held was a general term and included everything that could be proved against the accused parties. R There was an argument between counsel as to whether the prosecution would be allowed to introduce evidence as to defin- ite sums of money paid to the accused in support of the accasations, that had noth« ing to do with the demurrar, but the mate ter was dropped. Judge Seawell stated that inasmuch as the case was one of great public concern he would try to render a_speedy decision.
