14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, I'HURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1896. DELMAS SPRINGS MOTHER. SURPRISE Deep Disappointment of Lawyers in the Fair Litigation, Craven Ejectment Suits Dis- missed as to the Daugiters of Fair. The Fight Now Confinel to the Executors—The Suit to Quiet Title Set for Trial. George A. Knight in Judge Slack’s court- vesterday afternoon. The word room therwise. ht, you must be more careful guage in this court,” said Judge ing quietly and with that de- on which marks the manner ofa earnest. . Knight with flushed face hastened not quite as good as ‘‘heaven,” | Nettie R. Craven lays claim to property of the late Senator’s valued at $1,500,000. A special order of the court had'been secured by the counsel of Mrs, Oelrichs and Vir- ginia Fair requiring that the deeds be pro- duced in court where, under the auspices of Judge Slack himself, they might be inspected. < But not only the attorneys for the Fair daughters, but the counsel for Charles Fair and ail the other counsel, together with a small army of experts, were gath- ered there with microscopes and such other paraphernalia as might aid in dis- secting the handwriting of the deeds. The army with their instruments waited patiently, confident in themselves, for the custodians of the deeds to hand them | over. There had been some nrel)m‘nur){ taik about the litigation and Judge _Slflck in response to a motion had set for irial on the 2d of Kebruary the case of Angus vs. Craven—the suit to quiet title. When Judge Slack called the case of Craven against Fair and others and Cra- ven against Oelrichs and cthers Mr. Dei- mas arose and handed two neatly type- written documents to the clerk. Judge Slack remarked tbat the exam- | ination of the deeds to the property in guestion would be in order, whereupon Mr. Delmas arose and said: % “The case of Angus vs. Craven having been set for trial and is now at issue, and that case having the double advantage of including both pieces of property covered by the deeds 1n question, it is deemed by us unnecessary to prosecute any further the suits of Craven vs. Fair and Craven | vs. Oelrichs as to certain defendants. I | have tiled dismissals of those cases.’ This was the unexpected that happened, | and that, when he realized what it meant, made George Knight say *d—n.” The dismissal of the suits under which | the application for the inspection of the | deeds was made and the order granted of | course dismissed the order with it, and the whole matter ended there. Mr. Delmas’ remark explained the situa- moment when the court should order the | DEMARDING MORE CALIFORN WHEAT Three Vessels Loaded for Europe Got Away Yesterday. The Shenandoah Was the First to Cast Adrift and Get Under Way. Wheat Was Burned in the Furnaces cf a Big Norwegian Tramp That Broke Down. Wheat is in demana in Europe, and in consequence the golden gramn is pouring out of California. Yesterday three ships got away with full loads and half a dozen others are ready to sail. A big fleet wentout on theebb tide, among them being the big American ships Shenandoah and Cyrus ‘Wakefield, the British bark Cambusdoon, the brig W. G. Irwin and the British ship Blairgowrie. The Shenandoah made a pretty picture Among the Fleet That Went to Sea on the Ebb Tide Yesterday Was the Big American Clipper Ship Shenandoah.

Lloyd and that the words had been wrung from him by his impa- tience over the sudden and unexpected turn of affairs in the matter then under consideration, namely, the application to examine the deeds given by the late James G. Fair to Nettie R. Craven for property worth about $1,500,000, Mr. Knight wanted to see the docu- | ments and was disappointed when he | found himself and his associates in inter- est, for'the attorneys of all the child ren | of Mr. Fair join in opposing Mrs. Craven, | thwarted by a masteriy stroke on the part of Delmas & Shortridge, attorneys for M rs. Craven. The chagrin of Mr. Knight over his de- feat, joined with some suggestions whis- pered by Mr. Lloyed, caused the outburst of temper on Mr. Knight's part, for which be made the amend honorable not only 1n court, but afterward in a personal expla- nation to Judge Slack in his Honor's chsmpers. It was evident that Mr. Knight also wished to set himself right before the community, for he explained to the re- porters who remained after the adjo urn- ment of court that it was a case of undue exasperation whers even the famous Uncle ¥ ly extolled by Laurence ram Shandy,” would have an_oath equsl to any heard in Flanders. s been making me tired for months or.a year,” said Mr. v his constant suggestions nt, Charles Fair, and myself, shoul take the brunt of all the battle. When has he got in a cross-complaint or an answer all along the line? What has he done to bring any of the cases to an issne? What did he do in regard to the trust provision of the will? Lookat us. We've got in our fighting papers all along the line, and he comes in under our proceed- ings because our clients happened to be named as co-defendants and demands an inspection of these deed. If he had left it to us to make the application we would have been all right and no bowling out of court such as we have here to-day could | have happened. ‘*After Judge Slack’s ruling that he had nething more'to do with the matter then on hearing, Lloyd began to tell me again what I'd better ao to help him out, sc I let sjip an exclamation of impatience. I couldn’t help it. But my client is all right. His cross-complaint is on file, and when we get ready we will ask in our own way for an inspection of the papers.”’ It was before Mr. Knight's outbreak that the really important event of the day happened, when D. M. Delmas, by a wholly unexpected move, outflanked and disappointed the army of lawyers engaged in the Fair estate litigation. Judge Slack’s courtroom was crowded with them at 2 o’clock, all eager to handie and inspect the two deeds under which NEW TO-DAY.

When the deeds were brought for- | ward Mrs. Craven began two separate ‘ suits in ejectment, one against Charles L. Fair and others for the Mission-street | property, and the other against Teresa F. Oelrichs and others for the Sansome- street property. The executors of the trust will--then the special administrators — began suit against Mrs. Craven to quiet the titie to | both pieces. This suit is known as Angus va. Craven. Itinvolved the same princi- ple exactly as Mrs. Craven’s suits—the title and ownership of the property. In the suit of Craven vs. Charles L. Fair, Mr. Fair brought a cross suit in | which he sets up that Mrs. Craven’s deeds are not genuine. To this cross complaint | Delmas & Shortridge have demurred, | holding that such cross complaint cannot | be made in a suit in ejectment. The filing of the cross complaint, however, made it impossible for the plaintiff's at- torneys to dismiss the cause with regard to this defendant. No cross complaint | had been filed by the daugnters, and, on | the other hand, no application to inspect | the deeds had been filed by Charles Fair, | so that when the cases were dismissed as to the daughters the order of examination | The court examined the papers filed and | remarked, “This disposes of the present | matter. The cases, except as tu Mr. Fair, | will go off the calendar.” | Mr. Wheeler asked to see the papers and | Mr. Lioyd and Mr. Knight gathered about | and examined them with great care. | _Mr Lloyd whispered something in Mr. | Knight’s ear which extorted that gentle- man’s ‘‘exclamation of impatience,” as he so happily termed it. *‘There seems to be nothirg more to be done,” said Judge Slack. | . Mr. Wheeler asked the court to order a | indgment of dismissal entered as to Mrs. | Oeirichs and Miss Fair, and it was so | ordered. | Mr. Delmas then quietly took his de- 1 parture, and the opposing attorneys | watched his receding form far down the | corridor before they appeared to realize the manner in which their fondest hopes had been foiled and blasted by a single | turn of the wrist, so to speak—a legal sur- prise that for the nonce took away their | breaths. Speaking about the matter last evening Mr. Brittain, speaking for Delmas & | Shortridge, said: *This move was made \ to simplify matters and to prevent at the | same time every Tom, Dick and Harry | pawing over those deeds. It is not at- tempted to prevent anybody seeing the deeds who has a right to_do so. The ex- perts of the executors, Messrs. Carvalho and Ames, have been given every oppor- tunity to see the deeds. Some seventeen enlarged photographs bhave been taken for them and which they now have. The | one suit of Angus vs. Craven, to quiet title, will cover the same ground in a more | ample way than would our two suits in ejectment, Therefore, as that suit has been set for trial, Mrs. Craven finds it un- necessary to go to the trouble and ex- pense of pushing her suits, and so we dis- missed them. Thatis ail there 1s to it.” CALIFORNIA WINES AREBOOMING Several Important and Large Shipments Recently Made. The enthusiasm demonstrated in the meeting of the wine-makers held a short time ago appears to be warranted by the healthy condition of the wine market 1n- dicated by activity and larger transactions along the entire line. The shipping busi- ness to Eastern trade centers is getting into more satisfactory cbannels again. Among the more formidable deals we notice the transier of 300,000 gallons of Sonoma County wines of tue vintage of 1895 to the Gnndlach-Bundschu Wine Company of this Citv. These wines are the products of the late Hon. I. de Turk of Santa Rosa, and were made a few months prior10 his death under his special care and supervision. The sale was effected under satisfactory conditions and prices by William H. Lumsden Kgsa., ex- ecutor of the De Turk estate, and received the affirmation of the Probate Court. Prior to the election no satistactory bid could be obtained for this choice lot of wines, while after the result of the elec- tion was established a lively competition for their purchase was inaugurated with the above result. when the tug Vigilant cast her off. The wind was from the northeast, and there- fore favorable for ships going to sea. Off Alcatraz Captain Murphy ordered the staysails set and off Fort Point the top- sails were ran up. Passing Point Bonita almost all the sails were in place, and as soon as the tug cast her adrift the Shenan- iioadn was speeding on ber way to Eng- and. - The Cambusdoon was towed out by the Monarch and the Blairgowrie by the Alert. All three vessels are bound for Europe, and considerable interestis taken in the outcome of the race. Captain Murphy is confident that his ship will make the run in 100 days or less, and if she does the Britishers will not he in it. The tug Reliance took out the Cyrus Wakefield, bound for New York, and the W. G. Irwiz for Hawaii. In spite of her double burden she raced the Monarch from off Alcatraz to the bar and beat her easily. Captain Brockaw of the Reliance says the result is due to the new corru- gated wheel, which was put in place a few weeks ago, All the vesscls that went to sea were fully loaded and their cargoes alone are valued at $1,000,000. The Shenandoah took general merchandise and wheat and ber consignments amount to over $190,000. The Norwegian tramp steamer Herman Wedel Jarlsberg was in greater trouble than the first cables told of. She was re- ported as having put into Yokohama with her shaft disabled, but later advices re- ceived by the Merchants’ Exchange yes- terday siate that the Jarisberg came near sharing the fate of the Linlithgow. In any event she was almost in the same predica- ment as the R.o de Janeiro when she ran short of coal. She ran into a heavy gale, and some sails that were set to steady the steamer were blown away and two boats were washed out of the cavits. Coal ran short and the gaffs and booms and twenty tons of wheat were_burnt up in order to get the vessel into Yokohama. It will be several weeks before the Jarlsberg is ready for sea again, and in the meantime her destination may be changed. The Jarls- berg was bound for Calcutta. The ferrv steamer Encinal was put on the narrow-gauge route again yesterday. The work of overhauling and putting her in good shape for the winter has been rushed, as the traveling public was grumbling over the accommodations af- forded by the £1 Capitan. The latter boat was too small for the business, but to please the people the Encinal has been put back on the run a_week or ten days before she was ready. Now everybody is growling because the paint and varnish is not perfectly dry. . The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s ‘Walla Walla got in about noon yesterday, about twenty-four hours behind time. Captain Waliace reports unusually heavy weather between Cape Flattery and the Golden Gate, and owing to the heavy head winds the vessel was hove-to several times. Captain Thompson of the 8. C, Allen is to take command of the R. P. Rithet. The jormer is now in Honolulu barbor loading for San Francisco and the Rithet is on her way from Newcastle, Australia, to Hono- lulu with a load of coal. The mate of the Allen will bring the vessel to.this port. Vallejo took as great an interest in the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey contest as San Francisco. Yesterday a band of enthu- siastic sports came down on the Sunol and some of them went home sadder but wiser men. A big contingent came from the Navy Yard and every one of them was an enthusiastic Sharkey man, Henry Stahl, who with James Coakley owns and publishes the Valiejo Morning News, also came down. “He proposed attending the fight in order that the people of Vallejo and Mare Island might get the contest round by round, as soon as the readers of THE CALL.

Her debts amount to $2432 43 and her sssets, consisting of stock, fixtures and goodwill of millinery store, 927 Market streel, are estimated to be worth £500. Albert Clayburgh has filed a petition in in- solvency, his only creditor being Morris Windt of 1424 Nebraska street, this City, o whom he owes $1100.

Eleven Architects Explain Their Plans—No Decision Arrived at as Yet. The Board of Edncation in special session wrestled manfully with the prob- lem of selecting a design for the new M ission High School yesterday. % All day they were entertained by archi- tects who desire that their plans be ac- cepted, and when the session was over the members had listened to eleven gentle- men, each of whom was sure that his design was the best. Those who addressed the board were: McDougal Brothers, Laist & Schwerdt, William Moore & Son, W. A. de Prosse, Smith & Freeman, Thomas P. Ross, Powell & Wilson, W. 0. Banks, Cahiill & Condon, W. Jones Cuth- bertson and Charles 1. Havens. The design of W. O. Banks caused favor- able comment, the drawings showing a massive substantial looking structure. The interior was also carefully arranged with a view to the health and comfort of the scholars. 5 The guestions asked the architects were practically the same, the Directors inquir- ing into the ventilation, floor space per pupil, situation of toilets, the lighting and other arrangements of the basements, the number nnfi character of the stairways, whether the same would be fireproof or not, the character of the roofing and floor- ing, the appliances for escave in case of fire and other matters. The Directors werza particularly anxious to know whether the buildings designed could be built within the appropriation for the purpose. No decision wasarrived at, the Directors desiring a full board present before arriv- ing at a conclusion. The matter will be taken up at another special meeting. SENATOR FLINT MARRIED.
