DEY First Step in the Contest Over Fair’s Deeds to Her. It Is a Move to Quiet Title to the Pine and Sansome Progerty. The Famous $500,000 Contract of the Fair Childrea to Dey Must B: Produced. The first gun was fired yeatfrdg,v by the legal representativesoi Mrs. Nettie Craven in the legal battle over the deeds from the late Senator Fair to that lady. A few days before the pencil will was withdrawn it was then given out by counsel for Mrs. Craven that they would assert her claims to certain real estate in this City, for which she holds deeds from Senator Fair. By the withdrawal of the perbil will tbe decks were cleared for action, and yester- day a new contest was started whereby still another phase has been put upon the litigation over Fair's estate. During the trial reference was repeatedly made to a contract for $500,000 made by the Fair children and placed in the cus- tody of Richard V. Dey. Dey has testi- fied that he had such an instrument in his possession and that he would produce | This contract was made in April, 1895, | when Mrs. Craven was in the East to get ! the pencil will, which had been sent there | for safe-keeping. When this will was produced in court Attorney Lioyd stated that Mrs. Craven did not want any notoriety in the Fair matter, and also that the children knew she had the deeds. Then tney said that if she prought the pencil will here they would authorize Dey to pay her the sum of $500,000, in consider- ation of which she was to relinquish all claims against the estate and deliver up | the deeds. While she was still away the | contract was reduced to writine and it then took its present form, which is un- derstood to be a conveyance from the Fair ¢l ren to Richard V. Dey of all their in- terest in the property at Pine and San- some streets, that having been deemed | of sufficient value to meet the $500,000 Ce- mand that he would have to pay. This payment, it seems, was to be made conditional on the probate of the pencil will, but the children withdrew their sup- | port from that will and thus prevented iis probating. And now the trust convey- ance becomes & cloua upon Mrs, Craven’s | title to the Pine and Sansome corner. The suit bronght yesterday was for the purpose of quieting her title as against | this claim. The complaint filed in this case is entitled Nettie R. Craven sgainst Richard V. Dey, and is as follows: | _ Plaintiff is now and for a long time hitherto | has been 1he owner ai:d entitied to poss2ssion | of that certain lot. piece or parcel of land te, lying and being ¥ of San francisco, S the City and e of California, as follow It | Commenciog at the point | the south Jine of Pine streetand the west lin | of Sansome street, running thence westerly along said south line of Pine street two hun- dred and thirty-five feet six inches, thence at | right angles southerly one hundrea and thirty- | seven feet six inches, tnence at right angles | essterly two hundred and thirty-five feet six incaes to said west line of Sansome street, one hundred and thirty-seven feet six inches to the point of commencement. said premises, and the said defendant cleims an estate, or interest therein, adverse 1o the | said plaintiff.

The moon was not reflecied on the piate durine the forty-five minutes’ exposure, but at the expiration of that time the upper edge of the plat- was ex- posed to the moon for three minutes. | PIONEERS ENTERTAINED. Season Very Pleasantly Opened With What Was Catled a Family Party iast Evening. The opening invitation entertainment of the season was given by the Society of California Pioneers last evening in Pioneer Hall. It took on maifily the aspect of a dance, with incidental refreshments, but there were other features, notably the singing of the Knickerbocker quartet. The only really sat programme was found on the dancing card. Veterans who come to California as early as’49 were present in considerable number. There were more “Junior Pioneers,” as the young people are called by their elders, than seniors, and, in fact, the entertainment was given largely for the benefit of the younger people. There was notin it mueh that savored | of the early days 1 California excepting the general heartiness and cordiglity. ‘The bali was handsomely decorated with bunting and flags. An orchestra fur- nished music for the young and old Cali- fornians who crowded into the hall, despite the rain. Altogether something iike 1300 invitations were sent out, every member of the society who resides around the bay getiing two. Dan 0'Callaghan was the floor manager and the committees were as follows: i Floor committee—C. T. Ryland Jr., Arthur Bering, John Lermen, Peer Tiffany, Fred Schmidt, Herbert Tilden, Arthur Ebbets Jr., Ed Duisenberz and C. M. Plum Jr.; reception committee—C. J. King, J. F. | Pinkbam, Robert R.

TWO BALLOON ASCENSIONS SUNDAY! 21, idnight PEOPLES CHURCH 5 NOW DEAUNCT Dr. Birch, the Paster, Has Gone to Europe for Funds. Lack of Local Support Caused the Susp:nsion of the Services, The Dcctor, However, Promises to Return and Put It on a Firm Basis Azain, The People’s Church, organized in the middle of September by the Rey. Dr. Wil- liam L. Birch, late of New Zealand and of England, seems to be a defunct institun- tion. Itisatleast defunct to the extent that its pastor has departed to pastures new, and from the present outlook his re- turn to the work he took up is a matter of doubt. Dr. Birch arrived in this City lastspring. Tt is szid that he comes from the nobility of England, and had preached with the noted Dr. Spurgeon. That is, when no more people could enter where Dr. Spur- geon was speaking, Dr. Birch would ad- dress the overflow in some hall near by. Dr. Birch will probably go to the for- mer scenes of his usefulness very soon. He left this City last Tuesday evening on the Sunset Limited for Philadelphia and New York. He will visit England and Constantinople before he stops traveling. His departure naturally gave rise to the question, What has become of the People’'s Church? Dr. Birch opened the services of tbe People’'s Church in Metro- politan Temple on September 26, and bis first congregation numbered about 1200 souls, according to the estimate of one interested. This same person estimated that the last gathering, on November 8, did not number over 500. It is doubtful if either figure is correet. Dr. Birch wanted his new church to be Congregational, but as far as practicable non-sectarian. He desired to have a p'ace of worship where the poor could enter free of all caste and feel at home and weicome. ! In this movement he was ably assisted by J. Drumgold, who acted as treasurer, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. E. F. Drumgoid, Ed Smith, William Fowler, J. McLaughlin, D. M. Reynolds and others, who assisted in pro- viding music for ev: service. Those who desired to do so contributed to the cause, but as there was no regular church organization the People’s Church simply lLived from Sunday to Sunday. There were two men who promised a little support, one $2 and ibe other $5, but that would not run a church even if the minis- ter preached gratis, and as it is said went into his own pocket to the amount of $150 to help deiray expenses. On the last Sunday in October Dr. Bireh, at the conclusion of the services, invited all who wished to affiliate with the People’s Chureh to hand their names to the treasurer at the door as they passed out. Only thirteen, an unlucky number apparently in this instance, presented their names, and the next Sunday the last sermon was «elivered by Dr. Birch. Justice must be done the man for his earnestness and activity. for he wrote out and caused to be vrinted new hymns for every Sunday. When the printing bills, hall rent and other incidental expenses were summed up it was found that the Peopie’s Church was ranning behind at the rate of $30 a week. The lack of support was what killed the new church. Dr. Birch was apparently too liberal in his views to suit the more orthodox of bis brethren of the cloth in this City, and those to whom he looked the most for aid were the least ready to as- sist. Mr. Drumgold in discussing the doctor’s departure ssid that his absence is uot for very long. He is going East to endeavor to raise funds for the perpetuation of the People’s Church in this City. Should he fail_in the East he will go 1o his relatives in England, who are wealthy, and from them secure the necessary cash for firmly establishing the church. His purpose is to get this one built npon arock that financial storms will not disturb and then roceed to another city and build another 'eople’s church. Mr. Druingold says that Dr. Birch will be absent from one to three monibs ip his quest for funds. Mr. Drumgold in discussing Dr. Birch asserted that the press was in error in stating that Dr. Birch made application to join the Presbyterian ministry. Hisonly application _was to the Congregational ministry. He stated that one time some of the membersoi the First Congrega- tional Church asked him to fill the pulpit vacated by Dr. Charles Otiver Brown, but that the Bay Conference failed to act upon his application or pass upon his creden- tials, i"he attack upon Dr. Birch’s ortho- doxy may have had something to do with his “failure to secure a <call from Dr. Brown’s former congrepation. Dr. Birch aeeply regretted the public attack made on his orthodoxy and the fact that, with the exception of Dr. Rader, the Congregational ministers generaily ne- glected to extena their sympathy or to af- tord him an opportunity to reply. Ar any rate he did not waste much time in ‘worrying over the Bay Confer- ence failure to act favorably upon his ap- plication, for he went to work and started the People’s Church and then he started for Constantinople. Oriminal Calendar Clogged. The case of J. F. Ramiciotti, charged with “felony, to wit: forgery,” was called in Judge Wallace’s court yesterday, but by consent a further continuance was eranted. Tae crime of which Ramiclotti is accused’ was commwitted Sepltember 17, 1895. There are mauy other cases on the criminal calendar of the Superior Court that are of even more ancieat date. ———— Bicycler Defeated. In the suit of Joseph KEthen against Lot D.

Only More Money Will Do That, and No Money Has Been Issued in Three Years. United States Senator John P. Jones of Nevada is among the recent arrivals here. He has been for some time at Virginia City and elsewhere in Nevada, and has not tilknow been in California for a long time. The Senator sees considerable ofa fu- ture in the development of the gold prop- | erties in this State. He says from ail he can learn, both by observation and from what he knows of the intentions of invest- ors, it is in the mines that the greatest profits are to be made. “There is a better chance to make money in gold mining than in anything else,” said tne Senator. *‘So far as I am able to judge California is in an excellent posi- tion to develop her mines. I have not been here t6ng, having been in Nevada since my return from the East, but that is the way it looks to me. There is no money in other kinds of business, for money can- not be made when there are failing prices. “Itis like 2 man climbing a laader in an elevator when the elevator is gowing down. He may think he is zoing up, but from the nature of the case he is powerless to get up, despite his greatest efforts. Therefore, I commend mining, as business {'will not succeed. “If things go on and no improvement results, what can we expect? As to Mr. Bryan and his book, he is a very bright young man, but what can the ablest book accomplish? If we have hard times for the next four years, that will be more po- tential in changing our present system than anything else. *‘So far as the tariff isconcerned I'll support it. The Republicans can count on ‘me, and while they are about it I would like to_ask them if they know ofa stronger tariff man than 1am and have always been. I made one speech on the tariff, and hundreds of thousands of copies were printed and circulated. Bot the tariff isn’t going to belp us out. We haven’t got money enough. That is the trouble. There has been no money issged for the past three years, and we can’t get along and be prosperous without more. *But I will help the party out all I can.
