Downey Harvey and Mrs. Martin Gst Millions—Baroness Von Schroe- der Aimost Ignored. The will of the late Annie Donahue, widow of Peter Donahue and mother of J. Mervyn Donahue, has been filed for pro- bate. Itis an elaborate instrument, deal- ing explicitly with all the affairs of the testator. The will was prepared by Mrs. Donahue with great care and the executors named are Eleanor Martin, J. Downey Harvey and Alexander H. Loughborough, | the latter being one of the testator’s legal advisers for many years. It is estimated that the estate will amount to not less than $5,000,000. The instrument bears date of May 17, 1895. It provides liberally for advancing | the interests of religious and charitable | objects and institutions, besides Lestow- | ing rich legacies on relatives. Baroness von Schroeder, stepdaughter of the de- ceased. is not so liberally remembered as | was expected, and some of the younger relatives are to receive their shares through their parents. The first public object mentioned in the will Ignatius College, to the trustees of which 1s bequeathed $100,000 for the formation of a library to be called the Donahue Library, in memory of her hus- band. Itis to be free to Catholic young men. For belping to care for the library an additional $5000 is granted. The fifth paragraph of the will is of interest to a great manv public institu- tions, as the sum of $100,000, whiie be- ! queathed to Archbishop Riordan, is evidently intended to be distributed in | accordance with the expressed wish of the | testator in these words: i | Igive snd bequeath to the Most Reverend Patrick Wiliam Riordan, at present Roman Cathosic Archbishop of S8an Francisco, or in case of his death or ceasing to be such hen to the person who, at ihe distribution of my estate, shall be ac ing the functions of Romsan Catholic | Archbishop of San Francisco, the sum of $100,- 000. This bequest is made to such Archbishop | as an individual w0t as & corporetion, for | his own use and for the purpose of enabling | him to_contr to charitable and religious objec poses. If iz were certain that the law of Calilornia permitied me to do so, I would like to Jeave $10,000 for 1he benefit of the new Roman Catholic Cathe- | dral of San Francisco, $5000 for the benefit of St. Rose’s Church_ia the City and County of | San Francisco, $5000 for the benefit of St. | Brendan's ( the same City and_Coun- | 000 for the benefit of the hurch in San Raiael, Marin Couuty, jor the maintenance of parocbial sehools in | those four parishes respectiv 1 would also iike to leave 5000 ior the benefit of St. Pe- in Cloverdale, Sopoma County; rphan Asylum in Los Angeles, $5000 for tne | the Catholic church iu Bryantown, | County, 0 for the benefit o1 isters of the iy of the Citya of San Fr 5000 for the benefi he Sisters of th tation Convent ou Istreet, $5000 for the benefit of the Director: v under the direction of | san Francisco; $10,000 for the erection of & memorial chapel in the memory of my deceased htsband, Peter Donahue, in connection with the Old La- | dies’ Home, and shouid such memorial | chapel be erected before my death the $10,- 000 proposed for that purpose to go to the use of | the 01d Ladies’ Home, in charge of the said | Sisters )00 for the general benefit of the | Romau Catholic Orphan Asylum in San Frau- | cisco; $5000 more in aid of the deps thereot for oder girls, lately establi the southwest corner of Geary an : streets 5c0 (and catled the Tecn- nical School); another $5000 in aid of the de- | partment for infants in South San Francisco Joseph’s Roman Catholic Orphan ) $10,000 for the benefit of St. Vin- County; | Orphan Asylum in Marin $5000 for the use of the Magdalen under the charge of the Sisters of Me! £5000 for the benefit of the Protest phan Asylum of the City anda County Francisco; but as such bequests, them, if made, might be deemea illegal, | 1 commend the several churches and | institutions sbove named to the said Most | Reverend Archbishop as, in my opinion, | highly worthy of his care, consiuesaiion and support. Having heretofore donnted to the | Most Reverend Archbishop P. W. Riordan cer- tain property intended to 1orm an endowment for a chuir in his theoiogical seminary, I now, at his request, devise and bequeash to him the | oil portruits of my late husbas.d and of myself, | whizcn hang on the wali of my present resi- T also direct my executors to keep the | vault, where rest the remains of my iusband and b J.

Winnifrede Martin, sister of the testator, is granted $2600 o vear during her life; to Mrs. G. G. Farreil $300 a year under like conditions; . and to Rosalie Gately and Minnie Gately $600 a year. Baroness vor Schroeder, mentioned by the testator as her stepdaughter, is to have the family busts and victures, and, with this exception, Mrs. Eleanor Martin is to take the household goods, horses, etc. The residuary legatees | Eleanor Mariin and J. Downey | , Mrs. Martin to have three-fifths | and Mr. Harvey two-fifths. Mr-, Martin is to réceive $1500 & month and Mr. Har- vey $750 a month until the estate is settled. Some sage admonition is bestowed on the nephewsof the testator in these words: I would gladly leave & larze partof my es- tate 10 my dear nephews, Peter D. Martin; Walter 8. Martin and Andrew D. Marum, at once, but the possession of wealth by young people independent of their parents has caused the ruin of so many that I deem it better jor their own interest to leave them, so far as I am able, dependent on the loving care of their motier, to whom I trust they will always con- tinue to be dutiful and obedient. In a codicil it is provided that Mrs, Mar- tin’s interest in the residuary estate shall | erminate at her death, and that Pete Walter and Andrew Martin shall inher Y he property 1n equal proportions, The testator joins with Eleanor Martin and Winniirede Martin in contrituting $25,000 for the support of the astronomical observatory at Georgetown College, D. C. The appiication for the admission of the will to probate will be heara in Judge Slack’s court on the 29:h inst. STRANGLED TO DEATH. || Suicide of Mrs. Anna M. Hoffmann | ‘While Suffering ¥From Melan- cholia. t Mrs. Anna Marguerita Hoffmann com- mitted suicide in a most shocking man- ner in the French Hospital on Wednesday evening. She straneled herseif to death with a smail cord. Mrs. Hoffmann was a resident of Santa Cruz, and for the past three months she had been confined in the hospital, suffering from melancholia. At times she showed suicidal inclina- tions and said she wanted to die, but she | | ity. never made an aitempt to do so. How she got the cord is not known. The woman was a native of Germany and the mother of a family. She was 56 years of age. Corcner Hawkins was much displeased that the hospitai people should not have reporied the case at ounce, and he had a letter sent to the management warning them not to violate the law again. R T Sl BELT RAILROAD PLAN. The Subject of Extension Will Come Before the Chamber of Com- merce. The subject of the seawall and belt rail- road extension came up before the Cham- ber of Commerce yesterday afternoon and after some discussion went over till the next meeting of the trustees, January 12. President Colnon of the State Harbor Commission advocates the floating of $1,000,000 in bonds to compiete the work from the ferry slips, the present ter- minus, to Channel street, the work to be done in'five sections at an expenditurs ‘of $200.000 per section. Mr. Colnon contends that by issuing bonds and prosecuting the work as fast as the requirements of commerce would permit enough land would be reclaimed every year to cover the interest on the in- vestment by the rent which 1t would bring in. It is_estimated by the chief engineer of the Harbor Commission that suliy 450,000 square feet will be reclaimed when the work is finished. Another con- sideration which is urged in support of the proposition is that the rock and sand silling will take the place 6f the piling and planking and do away with the continual expense of repairs, and this saving alone woula amount to nearly twice the interest { on_the bonds. The bhoard asks that the Chamber of Commerce and_other commercial bodies in this City assist in inducing the Legis- lature to grant the power to issue bonds subject to the approval of the people at the general election a year from next November. They hoid that if the sea wall is not extended in this way, the chances are that the work will remain in its present uncompleted state for twenty years. President Colnon also calls the atten- tion of the Chamber of Commerce to the ct that at present there are only two ces where ship and car can come to- gether—at the Pacific Mail dock, where the Southern Pacific trains come down on the front, and a2t Lombard-street wharf, where the trains aie ferried across from Sausaltto, Tiburon and Oakland and are landed onto ,the belt tracks. Between these distant points lies a long stretch of wharves constantly crowued with ship- ping that are without the conveniences of | a railroad. It is believed that the plan of the Board of Siate Harbor Commissioners will favored by the Chamber of Commerce of this City and tbat body may recommend the passage of an act to hasten the pro- posed WOrK.

The attention of United States District Judge Morrow was engaged ail day yester- day hearing the testimony in the action of Lou!s A. Peterson, who seeks to recover $20,000 damages from J. D. Spreckels & Bros. According to the complaint, the plain- tiff was & mate on the little schocner S. Danielson. In January, 1895, the schooner was engaged at Santa Rosa Island, off Santa Barbsra, carrying wreckage from the British ship Crown of England, that was wrecked on the island. The tugboat Vigilant was an attendant upon the Danielson and the schooner Annie in the wrecking expedition, and towed them between the wreck and the landing on the t side of the jsland. One Sunday morningt e Vigilant had the Daniel:on in tow in the Santa Barbara { Channel, Tune mate Peterson was forward wrap- ping the larze bemp hawser with canvas 1o prevent it chafing in the docks. He was astride of the hawserand the chock broke. The hawser whipped across the rail and caught Peterson, throwing him against the capstan with great force. His rizht leg was so badly crusbed that it had to be amputated. In factit had to be am- putated four times in order to save the man’s life. In the complaint Peterson charged the master and crew of the Vigi- lant with carelessness in towing the schconer too rapidly through the channel. The defendants, by their attorneys Del- | mas & Shortridge, filed an answer in which they denied the charges of careless- ness and neglect, and denieda all responsi- bility for the unfortunate accident to Peterson, who, it was stated, was person- ally careless 1n stanaing astride of a hawser attached to a tug. In the hearing of the case yesterday Samuel M. Short- ridge conducted the defense for the de- fendant. e Sanger Hotel Consumed. FRESNO, CAL.,, Dec. 17.—The Blevins Hotel at Sanger was destroyed by fire yesterday morning about 6 o’clock.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. 1 BROWNIES DANCE AT THE BALDWIN Palmer Cox’ Production Re- ceived by a Large Audience. “The Brownies” Proves to Be a Glittering Pantomime Which Wins Much Applause. The Lit'le Peop'e’s Roles Are Taken by Grown-Up Actors—Scme Good Specizlties. An audience that filled the Baldwin and overflowed into the foyer welcomed Palmer Cox’s “Brownies” last night. A number of children were present, and the perform- arce seemed to give equal satisfaction to the youngsters and the adults. “The Brownies'’ isa scenicextravaganza, something like an old-fashioned English pantomime, minus the harlequinade, It abounds with glittering scenery and costumes, pretty girls, gorgeous light effects; sprightly dances and up-to-date songs and jokes. Taken altogether the larze comvany which interprets the *“Brownies’’ 1sclever and efficient. The music is light and catchy and the story of how the demon Dragonfel stole Queen Titania and how the Brownies rescued her is effective for extravaganza purposes. The disappointment in the performance lies in the Brownies themselves. * The gen- tlemen who enact their parts are life-size actors, made up in imitation of Palmer Cox’s famous illustrations, but white circles round their eyes, spindle limbs and pumpkin - like bodies cannot give actors the quaint vivacity and grotesqueness which mark every line of Palmer Cox’s illustrations, and it wouid be asking the impossible to expect that mere nrakeup would produce a Brownie. However, the gentlemen who essay the difficult task of bringing Cox’ drawings to life do their work as cleverly as could be expected. 2 The dramatis person® are by no means all Browni There are fairies, demons, sprites and mythological personages, but no mortals stray into the ex:ravaganza. The first act shows how Dragonfel, an evil spirit, ensiaves and prevents the marriage of Titania, the fairy queen, with Florimel, the neirapparent to the Brownie throne. He invokes the aid of Vulcan, and ac- companied by sprites sent for the occa- sion by the forger of Jove's thunderbolts, he interrupts the wedding and carries off the queen. The second act passes in Dragonfel’s palace, where Titania, as a prisoner, is entertained by a number of syecialties. Finelly the Brownies obtain admission, disguised as a German band, and are about to receive the Queen, when Vulcan comes to the rescue of his demon friend and the Brownies have to remain in dur- ance vile till a Russian anarchist Brownie throws a bombshell which desiroys Drag- onfel, and the curtain drops at the end of the third act on the happy union of Flori- mel and Titania. Ida Mulle as the spinster fairy is one of the most ‘fetching’’ characters in the performance. She is quaint enough to be a real Brownie. Frank Deshon make a fairly humorous Brownie King and hs song with the *“Ting a ling’’ chorus was encored repeatedly. Sol Solomon caused plenty of mirth as the leader of the Brownie 400. The Prince and Titania were lacking in the dash and vim that one generally asso- ciates with roles such as these,but the utter absence of the music hall style was com- pensated for by a repose and refinement that are rarely found in princes and princesses on the extravaganza stage. Titania’s singing was encored. Little Gertie Carlisle danced charmingly and sang with her usual spirit. She is the premiere danseuse of the troupe. The Brownies danced with vigor and theladies of the Oriental ballet posed prettily, but toey did not dance much. e pro- i {oia The serial ballet was a picturesqu duction, in which fairies did a sort o Fuller “turn” in midair. The Brownie German band aroused roars of laughter and Newhouse and Waffle as minstrels played the mandolin and guitar excellently. Taken altogether “The Brownies” wasa decided success. FRESNO'S MODEL. BICYCLE TRACK A Three-Lap Mile Course, to Be Called “The Trachydome.” E'aborate Preparations Made for its Formal Opening To- Morrow. FRESNO, CaL., Dec. 17.—Fresno is to have a modern bicycle irack, which local scholars in Greek have named tte ““Trachydome.” It is a three-lap mile course and is being constructed particu- larly for racing. Tt will be finished by next Saturday, when the greatest race meet ever held in the San Joaquin Vailey will take place on it. The preparations for this big affair are being enthusiastically carried out by the local wheelmen, and is bound to be a success in every way. The new track is situated just north of the city in Belmont addition, and is about a mile from the business center. 1t iscon- nected with the main portion of the city by a streetcar line, and every convenience desired is afforded. 1Inside the track the ground will be laid out for football, base- bell, cricket and other field sports. The Trachydome is being constructea according to the mostimproved plans. It will be a fast track and will place Fresno to the front among wheelmen as one of the racing centers in the State. A nine- foot board fence is being erected arouna the grounds, and as soon asenough money is realized from races a grand stand will be built. ‘The project of constructing the Trachy- dome was conceived among the local sporting men only a few weeksago. It was taken in hand by several prominent citizeps and in ‘a few days they rai<ed $1000 among the business men of the City with which to lease the.grounds and construct the bicycle course ana board ices |fence. The promoters havereceived every overy enccuragement. 2 _Wrappsk | They are not working for any individual FRIDAY, D ECEMBER 18, 1896. ga1n, but in the interest of outdoor sports. As soon as the grounds are finished they wiil be turned over to the Athletic Club, the Athletic Wheelmen’s Annex,’ the Raisin City Cyclers and the Englishmen’s cricket club. "These will have full charge of -the grounds and all events that take place thereon, Any pecuniary gain will g0 toward these organizations. X The board fence around the spacious grounds is nearly up and several teams are energetically at work on the track so as to have it ready for the races next Sat- urday. The course will be in good shape and every opportunity is promised, barr- ing the weather, although it is re-_=onn—l bly exvected to be fine, for the making of fast time, The race-meet will ba held tnder the auspices of the Raisin City Cyclers. V- eral of the fastest men on the coast will be down from San Francisco to_participate, and every rider of any speed in the valley has entered for some event. A number of the State officials of the L. A. W. will be among the visitors. Welch, -chairman of vhe Pacific Coast Racing Board and also member of the Na- tional Board, will attend and probably act as réferee. F. H. Kerrigan, chief con- sul of the L. A. W., and R. E. Smyth, ihe official bandicapper, will also be here. This will be the first race-meet of any consequence held in the valley, and the local wheelmen are taking great interest in it. The following is the programme of the races: One-mile scratch, paced, amateur; two-mile handicap, amateur; one-mile scratch, professional, paced by two sin- gles, and a two-mile handicap, profes- sional. The visiting cyclers will have an oppor- tunity of visiting the citrus fair on its closing day. McWHIRTER'S WILOW WEDS. Becomes the Wife of N. H.

A CHANCE FOR THE NEW BUILDING ‘Proceedings So Far Were All in Accordance With Law. Why Mayor Sutro May Sign the Hall of Justice Contract. There Was a Dzclaration by the Board of Supsrvisors of a Public 5 Need. When Mayor Sutro’s objections to sign- ing the contract for the fall of Justice, as prepdred by Attorney Rogers, are pre- sented to the Board of Supervisors they will, figuratively' speaking, be knocked into a cocked hat. The matter was informally discussed at the meeting of the Street Commiitee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday, and plain evidence was found in the records of the board to show that the Mayor and his atterney did not go farenough into tbe matter before coming to a conclusion. Mr. Rogers based his main-objection on the section of the statutes which provides that where a tax levy for improvements is made there must be a declaration that there is a public need for the improve- ment. He stated that the board had neglected in all of its proceedings relative to the Hall of Justice to declare that the building was a matter of public need and benefit. Clerk Russell stated yesterday that the Mayor’s objection, based on the opinion renaered, wouid not hold water for & mo- ment, because the new hall had been de- clared a public need according to the law and that he had proof of it. In support of hisstatement he produced the latest municipal reports and referred to the proceedings originally taken to in- sure the building of the Kearny-street mu- nicipal structure. There was a resolution passed by the board on July 22, 1895, that appears to lcover the entire matter. 1t reads as fol- GLEH RESOLYTION 12696 (THIRD SERIES). Resolved, That this board deems it expedient snd hereby declares: that in its judgment the public good requires the construction of a suitable builaing on the old City Hall lot for the accommodation of the criminal depart- ments of the Superior Court, Police Courts, stations, pricon, Morgue, Coroner’s office and other municipa! uses. And the clerk is hereby directed to adver- tise this resolution as required py law. * | In Board of Supervisors, San Francisco. July 22, 1895. ‘Adopted by the following vote: : Ayes—Supervisors King, Scully, Benjamin, Hirsch, Dimond, Hughes, Dunker, Taylor, Morgenstern, Spreckels, Hobbs, Wagner. Thus it appears that the Mayor’s stum- bling-block to signing the contract is re- moved, and that the matter will go through without a hitch. 5 “We don’t do things of that kind in this office without carefully observing the law,” said Clerk Russell, “'and while I have not looked into the otker objections urzed by the Mayor I have no doubt that they will be cieared up alter a careful investi- gation.” Crisp’s Son Succeeds Him.
