Harvey for embezzlement and grand lar- | ceny growing cut of his appropriating to his own use about $50,000 worth of bonds and other property belonging to his cli- | ents have been dismissed. When the grand larceny case against Harvey was called by Judge Babhrs yester- | day morning it was appuarent that there | was but little interest felt 1 _the proceed- ings by Harvey himself, who evidently | knew that he was soon to be freed from | further responsibility for his extensive pecnlations. There was no pretense that be did not get the money, but it seemed to be agreed that he had so far imposed on the trastfulness of Mrs. Emily A. P. Smith { and her daughter that it would be ditficult to secure a verdict of conviction. Harvey appeared to be particularly well pleased with himself, and it was noted | that he was by far the best dressed man | in the courtroom, not even excepting his | Honor Judge Bahrs and District Attorney | Barnes, both of whom are strictly up to date in the matter of wearing apparel. It could scarcely be expected, however, that mere public officials could outshine a tinancier like Harvey, whose superior | abi'ityes have placed at hisdisposal a fund of $50,000 that he may safely devote to personal adornment. | * Before moving to dismiss the charge of grand larceny against Harvey the District Attorney read and filed with the clerk of | the court the following letter: SaN FRANCISCo, Nov. 25, 1896. Barnes, District Attorney, San Fian- AR SIR: My dwughter and Iare s in the cases of the People ngai farvey now pending | trial in Judgy art. Since tne former on another charge, which resulted in ac- tal of Harvey, we have come to the con- iusion that, under all the circumstances of the case, we do not wish to proceed further with the matter, and therefore we request you 10 dismiss the charges. Trusting that this will meet with your ap- probation and action, I remain, yours *truly, ILY A. P. SMITH, MAUDE A. SMITH. | Mr. Barnes said that on account of the | peculiar circumstances under which Har- | vey obtained possession of the property and the lukewarm feeling and disinclina- tion of the complaining witnesses to pro- ceed with a vigorous prosecution, he could not feel much hope of securing a conviction. It appeared to be a breach of trust on the part of Harvey, who had taken advantage of the confidence reposed |in him by the ladies whose property he had appropriated. The ruling oi the court at Harvey’s for- mer trial on the charge of embezzlement, | wherein the same property was concerned, was also referred to by Mr. Barnes. As the jury then had been instructed to | acquit, it seemed that withous tne hearty co-operation of Harvey’s, victims it would be a waste of the public funds to proceed further with a trial when a conviction would be almost out of the question. | “Judge Bahrs wanted to know if the | District Attorney moved to dismiss the | case, and Mr. Barnes repiied in the affirm- ative, whereupon an oraer was entered in | accordance with the District Attorney’s | | request. { | Harvey | courtroom. e | | ST, IGNATIUS ORGAN.

Quackenbush, who claims to be the wife of the millionaire Thomas M. Quackenbush, though bhe coyly denies the soft impeachment, has filed an amended complaint in her demand for mainte- nance. Some time ago Quackenbush instituted an action against her, 1n which he named her as Miss Nancy Abbott, calling on ber to produce in court a certain paper which she had reported to be a murriage con- tract, and by viriue of which she claimed to be his wife. He said such paper, if it really exist, is a forgery, and he demanded that it shall be canceled and destroyed by order of the court. The lady’s response was to sue him for $500 . permanent alimonv, but just before the dling of her papers he had deeded his QUICK WORK OF THE TUG RESCLE | Brought Down the Hum- boldt in Twenty-Five and a Half Hours.

Attorney George P. Goff Wants $0,000 for Preparing a Brief. Attorney George P. Goff has sued Flor- | ence Blythe-Hinckley and Frederick W. Hinckley, her husband, for $20,000 for lezal services. In his complaint Mr. Goff sets forth that while Mrs. Hinckley was endeavoring to prove that she was the daughter of the 1ate Thomas H. Blythe and entitled to in- herit his estate he entered into a contract with her guardizn to write and furnish to Attorney W. H. Hart, her leading counsel, a briet to assist in establishing her claim. He avers that he prepared the brief and furnished it to Mr. Hart, who presented it to the court, and that by means thereof Mrs. Hinckley won her case, receiving proverty valued at $4,000 - 000 Mr. Goff says it was agreea that he should receive a reasonable compensation for his services in preparing the brief which was so effectually utilized by Mr. Hart, and in view of the lady’s snccess he thinks she ought to pay him $20,000 and | his costs of suit. If she has not the cash he requests that enough of the Blythe | block un Market street be sold to satisfy his claim. —————————— CATARRH AND THROAT TROUBLE No Longer Dreaded by the Advanced Specialists of the Medical World.

Joseph Seeley, late of the Pomona, went out as chief steward, vice T. K. James, re- | signed. The latter was down to see the last of his old ship and the reception he received must have been most gratifying to nim. The passzngers thronged around bim and all and sundry wished him suc- cess in his new venture. Mr. James goes to New Orleans to manage one of the largest hotels in that city. For vears he was in the employ of the Pacific Maii Com- the City of Rio de Janeiro. The day he resigned from the Australia he had just finished his one hundredth trip, but was combpelled to make another run, as the company could not get a suitable man to take his place. James was giving some of his reminis. cences on the wharf aiter the vessel had sailed to aparty of his friends. ‘It was on the Rio de Jareiro, and Freeman was purser then asnow,’’ said he. *“We were on our way to Yokohama and we met nothing but a succession of gales. Ever; body was seasick, and the son of a miilio aire Milwaukee brewer was thc worst of the wiole lot. Time and agein he asked me for something to give him re'ief, but nothing would stay on his stomach. *One day when there was a very heavy sea on he said, *'Oh! James, if you would ounly give me something that would stick to my insides for half an hour I would be out and about inside of six hours.” ‘I’ll fix you,” was my rewark, and ‘his face showed the joy my words brought. ‘If you do,’ said he, ‘vouwill earn my eternal gratitude.” T hurried to the purser's room and got a bottle of mucilage. With that I went back to the young millionaire’s tateroom and handing it to him said: *Here, drink that; if it doesn’t stick to your 1nsides, why notking concocted on this sublunary sphere will.” He looked at me, looked atthe mucilage and then burst into a roar of laughter. I think that laugh cared him, as he was up and about next day.” James will probably leave for New Orieans the latter partof this week. Chief Freight Clerk Walton of the Oceanic Steamship Company is danger- ously ill with appendicitis. H# is sta- tioned on Pacific-street wharf and for the lest two days Purser E. B.

If the “zhost walks'’ they may return to San Francisco, if not they will remain in Oregon and eke out an existence on Sholto’s remittances. 2 Deputy County Clerks E. P. Peterson and A.

The Nellie is 2 roomy boat and should proyide the party with ample accommo- dation auring the week spent on the marshes, . The new Humboldt came down in tow of the Ship-owners’ and Merchants’ Tow- boat Company’s Rescue yesterday. The run from bar to bar was made in 25 hours 30 minutes, which is remarkably quick time. After unioading at ihe foot of Third street the new bpat will go to the Fulton Iron Works to have her boilers putin. The new boat has already been described in THE CALL and a cut of her publisheq, | 50 the readers of this paver will easily recognize her when she goes out on her trial trip the end of the month. The Rescue did 1ot waste any time here but at once coaled up and during the afternoon started for £uréka with the barkentine C. C. Funk 1n tow. The latter will load red- wood lumber for Sydney. Amone the arrivals yesterday afternoon was the British ship Bacchusin tow of the tug Active, and the Rathdown in tow of the Vigilant. The scow schooner Erie met with a peculiar accident at Port Costa yesterday. She was on her way to the mulls with a load of grain and had a northwest wind and ebb titde to help her along. While she was still two miles away the British bark Invercoe was towed outinto the stream by the tug Vigilant and there dropped, while the tug got out her hawser to tow the vessel to San francisco. The scow came sailing along and got dangerously near the stationary ship. “Luff! luff!” yelled the captain of the Iuvercoe, put tue men on the scow attempled to putabout and before the schooner ga.hered way she was under the bark’s quarter. A few minutes later it was discovered that the scow was leaking badly, so Captain Silo- vich was told to haul in His hawser and go to her assistance. The Invercoe came to an anchor and the Erie was runon the Benicia mud flats. The schooneris not badly damaged, but the wheat cargo will probably be a total loss, A pecubhar state of affairs exists between Baliour, Guthrie & Co. and Captain Hicks of the British ship Manchester. The ves- selis chariered 10 load wheat at the fine rate of £1659d (ireightsare now going begeing at 18s 9d) and Balfour, Guthrie & Co. are loadinz her. The Stockton steamers have put in several loads and Captain Hicks has all along been grumb- ling at the sacks in which the wheat is sent down. He says they are no good and yesterday refused to recelive another con- signment because of the siate they were in. He iurther notified Balfour, Guthrie & Co, that if the sacks of wheat now in the hold were not repaired he would have all the wheat put on.the wharf at owner’s expense to-morrow. The grain firm laugh at his threats ard want Hicks to go abead as that would mean the abandon- ment of the charter and the saving at least of 8s a ton for them. A barge loaded with brick went adrift from Fort Point yesterday afternoon with three mern on board. The men were taken ashore by the life-saving crew, and the barge taken in tow by the tug Reli- ance and towed back to port.

Numerous Broken Parts Are Now B:ing Replaced by Local Art'sts. The ‘When the fathers of 8t. Ignatius Church on Hayes street had the four magnificent windows set up in the facade of the church they did not deem it necessary to protect the glass with wire screens. Now they find to their surprise that this oversight will cost them several hundred dollars, besides much trouble in repairing the damage done. Somewhere about the same time that the great windows were placed in position pigeons first made their homes high up| in the eaves of tke church building. The | birds used to fly about the street and alight on cornices near the windows, This was early impressed on small boys of the neighborhood, who found a new but mischievous sport in shooting at the birds. Airguns and catapults were em- i ployed by the boys, who generally stood | across the street in a vacant lot, from ! their hurtful play. No particular atten- | tion was paid to them, but lately when the windows were examined it was discov- | ered that as many as thirty-eight panesin | the pictorial glass which represents vari- | ous subjects of church history had been | destroyed. These broken parts included portions of figures and the decorative sec.ions, so that it was necessary to place the work of re- pairing in the hands of a competent local artist. Owing to the great size and har- monious color scheme of the subjects in the windows it required a nice considera- tion of the generul arrangement to have the new pieces conform with the rest. These windows are among the finest of their kind on the Pacitic Coast, having teen made in Munich for the facade of St. Ignatius Church from designs by eminect arusts. The beauty of these works of art has been seriously impaired, but the deli- cate task of replacing and matching the broken portions has been intrusted to a | loctl artjst, whose abilily is a guarantee that the «damage can be repaired. For some days past men have been working on the windows, and others preparing strong wire screens for protection against vagrant missives. —————————— Park Music To-Day.

Gordon Ross, of Johannesburg, and Theolore Haddon of Buluwayo, South Africa, all owners of gold properties in the Dark Continent, ar- rived here yesterday and registered atthe Palace. Mr. Bontborn commanded a corps of mounted Scots in' the Jamison raid and Mr. Ross was a member of the committee of the Scottish corps, which consisted of 2500 armed men. They were ready to do battle on many oc- casions, but when the war was entirely de- clared off they resnmed the peaceful occu- | pation of mining. They are now on their way to British Columbia to examine some gold proper- | erties. They will visit the new and thrifty | camp of Rossland, and will spend some time in looking over the mines oi Trail Creek. Mr. Bonthorn says that notwithstand- | ing contrary reports the Johannesburg district is going steadily ahead. “The output isincreasing,” he said, *It is averaging about 300,000 ounces of zold a month, or about §6,030,000.
