THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1896. g M LOSS OF LIt MO PROPERTY Hobbs, Wall & Co’s Big Box Factory Destroyed by Fire. CAPT. ROSS PERISHED. The Aged Watchman Was Over- come by the Smoke and Flames. BURIED UNDER THE DEBRIS. Fifty Thousand Doliars’ Worth of Property Wiped Out by a Blazs on Spear Street. The large box factory of Hobbs, Wall & Co., at sli.m 324 Spear street, was de- stroyed by fire at an early hour yesterday til about 6 o’clock that it was fully under control. In the meantime the sheds and stables of the Bailors Home were de- stroyed, and the ends of half a dozen'coal- vunkers burnt out. The main factory, a two-story structure, was 127:6x150 feet in size, and it was filled With valuable machinery and a more val- uable stock. The remainder of the two 50-vara lots was covered with thousanas of feet of lumber under a shed, and a large stable full of hay. The hay was destroyed, but the horses were saved. Nearly 100 men and boys have been temporarily thrown out of work by the fire. ‘rhe Hobbs-Wall Company at once opened an oftice at 316 Steuart street and said that it was ready for business. Ail but one of the other box factories in this City sent word te the unfortunate firm proffering assistance in filling orders. Hobbs, Wall & Co., the heaviest losers, were well insured, carrying $35,000 policies in about two dozen insurance companies, bey took out a large number of policies during “tbe last rate war among the in- :urgnce companies, and they are vot sorry or it. The cause of the fire will probably never be known. Fire Marshal Towe's theory is that a large quantity of soot collected in the smokestack and caught on fire ata time when there was no draught to carry the heat up and out. Thisintense heat started the two fires by the contact of the smokestack with the dry floor of the second story. Captain Comstock’s estimate of the loss and damages was as follows: Hobbs, Wall & Co., box factory, yards, sheds and stabie for storage of Jumber; building and plant. Total loss, estimate at $45,000. Coal-bunkers, office and stable of Bryant Coal Company, Central Coal Company; buildings scorched.” Estimated loss, $100, Two-story frame building, owned and occupied b{TWninwright & Easton; wood and cos Estimaled loss, $300. Rear Sailors’ Home; buildings owned by Unitea States Government. Estimated morning, and the aged watchman, Cap- loss, $200. INTOXICATED IN THE SHERIFF'S CARE Deputy Appel's Prisoner Gets Drunk and Tells a Story. - IS TO BE INVESTIGATED Hannah Landridge Pleaded Guilty in Court to Grand Larceny. AN OLD SCANDAL REVIVED. She Now Declares She Gave Part of the Stolen Moaney to Police- man Rourke. There was something like a sensation among the officials in the City Prison yesterday when Hannah Landbridee, alias “Fat Annie,” appeared in a state of ey LS o] The Ruins of Hobbs, Wall & Co’s Big Box Factory, Under Which the Body of Watchman Ross Now Lies. tain Ross, perished in the smoke and flames. The total loss of the firm was about $45,000, covered by $35,000 insurance. Sev- eral outbuildings belonging to the Sailors’ Home were also destroyed and damaged to about §1600. The coal bunkers of the Bryant Coal Company and the Central Coal Company were zlso damaged to about $1000, and & small building belonging to Wainwright & Easton was injured to about $300, Shortly after 10 o’clock Tuesday even- ing Watchman Ross discovered a small blaze in the ceiling of the engine-room, near the smokestack. He made an effort to put out the fire, but it was too much for him, as he was old and feeble, having passed his eighty-third birthday. The old man ran through the bunilding and yard and sent in a still alarm to Kn- gine Company 9, across the wag on Main street. The firemen soon had the fire put out, and they went away. A few minutes after 4 o’clock yesterday morning they were again called ovt by the aged watzhman, who said that the build- | ing was on fire again. By the time they reached the street the big box factory was in a blaze, the flames bursting out of the roof, A special police officer had also seen the fire and sounded an ularm from box 5L Two lines of hose were quickly run into the premises, one from Main and one irom Spear street. The firemen who entered the Main- street entrance were driven back by the beat, and as they were retreating they saw the old watchman plunge into the dense smoke as though going to the Spear- street entrance through the principal pas- sageway. The smoke closed around him and no one.saw him sfter that. Blinded and con- fused by the smoke and flames old Cap- tain Ross perished miserably, and tons of machinery, Inmber and debris buried him deep in the ruins, Thus ended his service for the company which begun a quarter of a century ago. Captain Ross was rormerly connected with the Mare Islana Navy-yard. He lived at Golden Gate, near Berkeley, and leaves an aged widow. He was always a faitnful and conscientious employe. Up to last evening his remains were not recovered. As soon as Chief Engineer Sullivan reached the scene he caused & third alarm to be sounded, which can be done by the new system and thussave the time usu- ally lost. in making a second cail. In a very short time engines, hosecarts, hook and ladder trucks, water tower and Siamese stands were on the ground by the dozen and huge volumes of water were being poured into the flames. Captain Comstock of the Fire Patrol and bhis men lost no time in saving movable property. It was a most peculiar fire to fizbt, for the force of the streams scattered the blazing lumber, box material, etc., and threw them high into the air, and these failing upon the surrounding roofs threatened to set fire to.the whole district. Civuds of smoke and flames carrying burning wood burst into the air to a height of seventy- five feet above the factory roof. Taere was nothing to do but to see that the fire did not spread, and it was ‘not un- TRYING TO SAVE WORDEN, His Erother, a Missionary of Japan, Is Here in His Interest. He Will Try to Get Governor Budd to Commu'e the S:mtemce to Life Imprisonment. The Rev. Whiting 8. Worden, M.D., a missionary of Yokchama, and brother of 8, D, Worden. the convicied train-wrecker, is at the Occidental Hotel, He has come over from Japan to do all he can to get his brother’s sentence commuted to life im- prisonment, and is now circulating a peti- tion asking Governor Budd for ciemency. “My brother must have been insane,” | said Dr. Worden yesterday; “it conld rot have been any other way. He was always very quiet and peaceable. He drank, however, and when he drank it sometimes made him wild, “We do not hope fora new trial now. The case was appealed, and we tried to reopen the case in the Supreme Court, but couldn’t do’it. Itis settled now, and all Ican dois toappeal to Governor Budd. He can save him if he will. “It looks hard that the same evidence that acquitted all the others shouid con- vict him. My brotber came to the Pacific Coast from New York 1n 1869. He used to be a messenger for Wells, Fargo & Co., and he was present at the driving of the old spike when the Central and Union acific roads were connected. His father was one of the most respected physicians of Syracuse, where he praciiced medicine for forty-nine years. Our grandfather on mother’s side was a gradvate of Harvard and also a physician for many years in Massachusetts. My brother should have been one of the leadiag men here. “He is to be resentenced next Tuesday at Woodland. Ido notknow when I shall go back to Japan. I came as soon as I could—as soon as I got the news that the case could not be reopened. I cannot be- lieve that the veople who are influential will be bloodthirsty, and [ hope they will all aid me in trying to gain a commutation of the sentence.”” The Rev, Mr. Worden came over in the ship Monmouthshire, reaching Portland in fourteen days from Yokobama. Thence be came direct here. ———————— Thousands Asked for Injuries. Nellie C.

THAT POLICE BUILDING. Supervisor King Says Work on the New Municipal Structure Will Begin October 5 or 6. According to Supervisor King work on the new municipal building to be locared on the corner of Kearny and Washington streets will begin about October 5 or 6. “Work has been delayed thus far,” he declared, “because the board has had a six weeks' vacation. In the meantime the architect has been employed in per- fecting his werking plans. . ““The board will meet next Monday and bids will doubtless be advertised for ten days at that time. To the best of my Knowledage and belief the contract will be let and work begun early in October.” Although there is a regular building committee of the board, there is a special one on the new municival building, com- vosed of Benjomin, Dunker, Hirsch, Spreckels and King. =3 / ] intoxication, Bheriff Appel, The woman, who is well known in the dives on the Barbary Coast, was brought from the branch County Jail yesterday morning to Judge Belcher’s court to stand her trial on a charge of grand larceny. She was arrested on April 18 by Police- man Norman, charged with stealing $390 from Felix Bush, a farmer from Van- couver, B. C., who was here on his way to South America. He met the woman it a dive on Friday night, April 17, and went with her to ber room, where he was robbed. After her arrest there was a scandal, in- volving Policeman ‘Thomas Rourke and Special Officer John Mcintyre, It was alleged on the authority of Newion L. Valencia, a messenger-boy, that the .woman, who had sent for him previous to and after her arrest to take messages to Rourke, had told him that she had given $200 to a friend to employ an attorney 1o deiend her, and the balance, $190, to Rourke and McIntyre, and she wanted to see Rourke to get her share, The boy did not find Rourke till early Monday morning, April 20, and he at once took him before Cuief Crowley, 7he matter was fuily investigated, but as the woman denied having ever given Rourke siomclmyre any money it was allowed 1o P Yesterday morning when Hannah ap- peared in court she pleaded guilty and she was ordered to appear for sentence on Saturday. That was about,1i o’clock. Two hours iater Deputy Sheriff Appel ap- peared with her at the City Prison and she was helplessiy drunk and almost dis- robed. No explanation was offered by the deputy and Hannah was put on a bed in the matron’sroom. After she had about two hours’ sleep she became o uproarious that several ‘‘trusties’” carriea her into the women's cell. She was kicking and screaming all the way and her language wsgh far from za::xc;. e regretted “having pleaded ilty. She said she was advised ,:n do ltz:hayn she got into court, on the promise that she would get a light sentence. Her anger blazed out against Policeman Rourke and she charged him with, a: e expressed it, “turning her down.” e declared that when she told Chief Crowley in April that she had never given Rourke the $190 she deliberately lied 10 ssve bim. She told a circumstaniial story to Mrs. French and others showing when and where she had parted with the money, and said she would have told it in court if she had not been advised to plead guilty. She impli- cated another policeman, but did not know his name. She aesignated him “the fat policeman.” It is doubtful if Rourke's superiors will place any reliance upon the woman’s story now, after she had deliberately sworn five months ago to the contrary, At that time both Rourke and McIntyre de- nied receiving any money from her, an: accompanied by Deputy both insisted npon the Iuliesy investiga- tion. Hannah refused to say where she got CSHER HONELLS Fo The Supreme Court Grants His Petition for a Habeas Corpus. There Was No Showing That He Misrepresented the Condition of the Merced Bank. John W, Howelle, former cashier of the Merced Bank, is once more a free man. The Bupreme Court bas thrown open his prison dcors with the simple, yet to bim weighty, words, *‘Let the prisoner be dis- charged.” Howells was held to answer before the Superior Court on a charge of perjury. The bank was in liquidation, and the Bank Commissioners sought to ascertain whether it was actually insolvent or whether by continning in business it could eventually realize upon its assets and meet its obligations. To aid in ar- riving at this knowledge the commission had Howells examined under oath. Dur- ing this examination the cashier men- tioned among the assetsan item of $176,000 for loans and overdrafts, the names of the debtors being nlnbubfihculhv arranged, with the amourit of the indebtedness of each set opposite his name. Howells said to Bank Commissioner Fuliler that he considerea the claims good and collectible. Fe did not swear that the value of the loans and assets was $176,- 000, or any other sum, but represented that the several claims whose face value summed up that amount were good snd valid assets. S In liberating the vrisoner the Supreme Court says; ‘There was in the evidence no reason- able or probable cause for holaing the de- fendant. It appears that he was giving the Commissioners his judgment upon matters of extreme uncertainty, the value and collectibility of debts. e do not mean to say that even in a matter calling for the exercise of judgment a per: jury might not be predicated if one willl ully and wickedly and maliciously refrnined from exercising and expressing his best udgment when in law bound so to do. ut in the absence of such a showing a ::I‘n"dc ,0f perjury could not be main. ed. ——————— Suit for Damages.

Mrs. Tiedemann Is Slowly Dying of Cancer After Going Through One Operation, A sad case of human misery and human heartlessness was reported yesterday at the office of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children, although the matter does not properly come within the society’s sphere of beneficence. Mrs. Sarah 8. Tiedemann, wife of Henry Tiedemann, was recently sent to St. Mary’s Hospital, where was submit- ted to & most delicate operation for cancer of the stomach. The sufferin: woman survived the terrible ordeal and was taken to her home at 129}4 Clara street. The neighbors teil ory of cruel cold- ness on the part of the husband which seems beyon belief. He is said to bea drunkard and dependent upon the earn- ings of his two souns, lads of 12and 14 ears, respectively, who bring in a monthly ncome of $30 from- their work. Mrs. Tiedemanp is being attended by heraunt and Mrs. Barrett, the laudlady, who, though the tamily owe her $80 for rent, 1s indefatigable in her endeavors to alleviate the condition of the woman, wha is slowly dying from another cancer which formed aiter the operation, The case wil ‘)rohlbly be referred to the Catholic Ladies’ Aid Socie —————— Stierlen Arrested in Dakota.
