Wheeler and Cornwall in the Role of Peace- makers. Some Tariff Recommendations to Be Made to the Ways and Mesans Committee. The committee on report appointed Thursday by the tariff convention to con- ider all propositions for fixing new duty rates on importations beld a third ses- sion yesterday morning in the Chamber of Commerce hall.

THE PESTHOUSE AGAIN, A Resolution Locating It on the Alms- house Tract to Be Rescinded by the Supervisors, A new phase was put on the matter of locating the Pesthouse by the action of the Health and Police Committee of the new Board of Supervisors yesterday. The members present were Messrs. Deslany, Rottanzi and Devany, the former in the chair., When the resolution passed by the old board, locating the Pesthouse on the Almshouse iract, was taken up, Dr. Rot- tanzi expressed nis disapprovai of the measure and said that he thought the members of the Panhandle and Ashbury Heights Club were right when they pro- lestea against such a proceeding. He thought that a hospital for contagious diseases should be located further from thickly populated districts. Supervisor Devany was of a like mind, and it was decided to recommend that the reso’'ution be rescinded. It was decided to purchase drugs from wholesale houses in the future in order to save expense. GOVERNOR BUDD'S CALLERS The Executive Makes a Lady Happy by Her Reappointment as a Notary Public. Governor James H. Budd, who is here from Sacramento, yesterday recommis- sioned Mrs. N. E. W. Smith of this City as notary public. Mrs. Smith is the widow of the late Ralph S. Smith, the newspaper man of San Mateo County. This act of Governor Budd is generally regarded as a graceful one. The Governor had many callers yester- day at his rooms at the Palace. Most of those who came did so in reference to | matters oi legislation, while others did so from mere sccial impulses. The Execu- tive is trying to take things easy for a few days, after tiie ordeal of writing his mes- sage. APSY BLYTHES ALL OUT Their Appeal Frcm the Decrec of Final Distribution Was Dismissed. Gznéral Hart Thinks the Litigaticn Over B ythe's Millions Is Prac- tically Ended. A decision was rendered in the Supreme Court yesterday which, according to Gen- eral W. H. H. Hart's view of the case, practically marks the end of the litiga- tion over the millions left by Thomas H. Blythe. The Supreme Court granted the motion to dismiss the appeal of H.T. Blythe and others from the decree of final distribution of the estate of Thomas H. Blythe upon the ground that the appel- lsnts, who are the gypsy Biythes, other- wise known as the Kentucky Biythes, were not parties in interest in the pro- ceedings. “The appellants,” so reads the decision, “are concluded by the decisions of this court upon their other appeals. They are no longer parties in interest.” “There is only oné more case before the! eourts of this State affecting the Blythe estate, and the decision rendered bv the Supreme Court to-day practically disposes of that. The only remaining vase is the appeal of the Biythe Company, which stands on t e same ground s the appeal of H. T. Biythe and others. Therefore the litigation in th - State courts may be considered to be at an end.”” Thus said General Hart last night and he went on to say that the disposition of the one matter concerning the Blythe es- tate now before the United States Circuit Court conld not be in question. The Federal court, learning of the final action of the State courts concerning the appeals from the decree of final distribution, would un- doubtedly take cognizance, for the Federal courts do not overiurn the conc.usions of the State courts in probate matters. The matter in the United States Circuit Court will probably be concluded next Thursday and then the Blythe litigation will end. General Hart looked contentedly around the handsome apartment in his home, in which he was interviewed, and as he made the foregoing statement he went on to in- dulge in retrospection. “The Supreme Court has now ended the twenty-fourth appeal,” he said. **Considering the mag- nitude of the litigation it is wonderful that Judge Coffey has not been found in error ut all. “The trial took 206 days; there were 129 claimants to the estate; 2 women claimad to be the wife of Thomas H. Blythe; 19 groups of claimants attributed eacn different mother to Blythe, and 9 made Woods, n ienum vit, . mahogany, | 18 of cabinet bamboo £ud ¢ or briar- | o Tl ch they are | teets and | | | ther manufaciured than ¢ for the articles into ded to b mte sticks of paririd e and other woods not esp d for in this act, in the ro not her manufactured than cut gths able for sticks for umbrells Pparasols, shades, whnips or walking-c In: 1 malacea joints, not further ma: 1t into suitable lengths for m s 1mlo which they are iniended ed.

He said that the at- torneys had decided not to form a com- vany, as nad been rumored. On the con- trary the estate would be divided, but he did not care to say how. Nor could he say just what effect this course would | have in reference to the proposed big Biythe building. e STOLE HIS TRUNK. ¥red Cook Comes to Grief Through oring Another Man’s House. « Fred Cook, the proprietor of a saloon at the corner of Twenty-ninth and Mission | streets, was locked up at the Seventeenth- street station last night on a charge of burglary preferred by James Dever, his former landlord. About six weeks ago Cook left the Dever domicile, taking the key to the front door, but'leaving his trunk behind. Thursday night Cook concluded he needed Lis trunk, and sccordingly made use of the key which he bad the unfortunate forethought to retain. Daver waxed wrathy at this iiberty and insisted on a warrant for burgiary being issued, and Cook was sccordingly locked up. ———— o The Bar Assocation.

Miners Who Are Making From Six to Twenty Dollars a Day by Drifting. Colonel J. C. La Due, who has long owned the Nancy Hanks and La Due quartz mines, nine miles northwest of Emigrant Gap, in the Sierras, is among the arrivals at the Russ. The colonel has recently bonded those properties to Dr. E. K. Dow and Dr. McMahon of 8an Jose and & Mr. Lapham of Alameds. He says there 15 a gre..t deal of activity and illustrated by an anecdote how in- adeguate it proved when the time of deso- iation was at hand. Pnilnsbplhy he defined-as theart of ques- tioning. It was the resultof the inherent tendency of the human to learn and pro- gress. It was not a thing to be condemned in itself, but was he thought rather to be commended, and wss in realit; the foun- dation and safeguard of conservative re- ligion, “Philosophy has always been guilty of disturbing the status quo,” he said, *“‘and for this reason was oiten condemned by those particularly whosoughtto make the world believe the divine origin of the Beriptures. “The Jew aid not think it was part of his religion to believe such a thing, but simply looked upon them as a code of morals inspired by the Supreme Being. “The obnoxious question at the present day to the gentlemen of the cloth is not what you believe, but why you believe, They do not take kindly to the idea of any one seeking for reasons in religion. They ask that everything pertaining to their creed, even to the miracles of the Bible, be accepted on faitn.” Religions, he said, change, as do phi- losophiee, and both are the resuft of the progress made by the human mind from age to age. *The Judaism of to-day,” he continued, ‘“is not the Judaism of 2000 years ago, and certainly not that of 4000 years ago, while Christianity changes from decade to decade.” In conclusion he said: *Let sectarian religion or present, phi- losopny teach what they will, act well your part and help along what promises to subserve and conserve the peace and the virtue of the world, to the end that the Spirit of God may always receive more and more recognition in the habitations of humanity.” Rev.

Besides this there are many buyers about bunting for good property. 1f a miner really has something that shows up well he stands a good chance to want to spend good money on worthless wildcats. Colonel La Due says a good deal of work | has been done on the Nancy Hanks and | La Due. “There is a shaft down eighty-five feet in the first-named property,” Le said, “with crosscuts north fifty feet. As for the La Due it shows a develonment of 400 feet, which was sluiced off by hydraulic mining. It isthe intention to push the development work on both, and also to put up a 10-stamp mill. “1 have been ten years in that section and have never seen mining 8o active as now. In nearly all directions there is something doing. There isa good feeling, t00, AmMonz property-owners. “The Eagle Bird, which is a well-known mine, is about changing hands now, and it is expected to start upin about a month. This is one of the best mines in that part of the countr; “The old Yuba mine, which is another good property, has been idle for some time, There isa crowd now figuring to take it and 1t is expected to change hands every day. “There is now about four feet of snow in and about Emigrant Gap and up where toese mines are. Thereis gravel mining above where my properties are. The gravel mines are a. the head of Fall Creek. They are known as the old Fisk digeings and are turning out well. “Miners there are working them right along. They do it by drifting. I know four men there who are making from $6 to an ounce of gold a day to each man. This is very good pay and it shows the richness of tue ground.” Colonel La Due will be in the City for some time. He has had a great deal of ex- perience in the varied kinds of mining. ) LECTURES B THE BAEB Dr. Voorsanger's Discussion on Philosophy and Re- ligion. Rev. M S. Levy Undertook to Answer. the Question, “Shall We Pay for Our Neighbor ?” ~ Rev. Dr. Voorsanger’s first Friday even- ing lecture at the Temple Emanu-El since his iliness drew a more than usually large attendance last night. He took for his subject “The Relation Between Philos- ophy and Religion.” “There seems to be in the minds of people a misconception of the cne and of the other,” he said. He called attention Pay for Our Neighbors?* of his lecture he said: “All men are not generous and thera are many who think they shouid not be called upon to pay for their neighbors’ pleasures or misfortunes. “The citizen who has no property at stake if called upon should not refuse to contribute toward the support of a fire de- partment, and say, *‘Why should I pay for others?” ‘Why snould I'pay for the city’s water supply ?' says the man who has a well on his own premises. He who never walks the streets at night, in the smallness of his soul wants to know why he should be compelled to pay for a light he never walks by. ‘Why pay for schools?' says the dyspeptic nature of the man who is with- out the comforting joy of chilaren. ‘Why pay to the support of religion? urges the one who does not believe in synagogue or church. Why not? *‘We think all of these arguments koth false and ruir.ous, for as soon as the want is that of the community every individual ought to feel it a high and patriotic privi- leze to contribute his quota, each accord- ing to his ability, accordiag to the bl ings with which God bes blessed him, since no community can suffer without more or less affecting every member tiereof.”” In the course e e Marine Engineers’ Convention.

A. A. A. for Profession- alism. 1 Olympic Football Team Decl'ared the Pennant-Ho.der for 1896 Charges Agiinst the Olympic Boxing Tournament —Mu ler and Tye Classifizd. The board of directors of the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association held its regular monthly meeting at the Olympic Club last night and transacted much busi- ness of importance in the athletic world. The boxing contest between Tye and Muller, heid before the Acme Club, was duly investigated. It resulted in botb men being declared professionals and the Acme Club being suspended for sixty days. The contest was adjudged professional because, in addition to fighting for a $35 trophy, a member of the club had a purse of $75 un. H. Tank gave notice of appeal. The 8an Francisco Athletic Club was suspended for thirty days for holding a field day without a sanction. Edgren’s hammer-throwing record at Sacramento made last fall was not of- ficially allowed for the reason that the officials on that occasion were irregularly chosen and not members of the Pacific Amateur Athletic Association. A warm dispute arose as to whether the Olympic or the Stanford football team should be declared the holder of the pen- nant for 1896. The game between the two was a tie, and Manager Brown of Stan- ford said tnat for certain reasons the team could not be got together for another game, and that the faculty would object anyhow. A vote of seven to five was had by which it was decided that the pennant should be withheld until the teams could settle the score, but Presiagent Humphries as well as others thought this decision unfair, as Oiymp ¢ was willing again 10 compete. A vote was taken on reconsideration and resulted in the Olympics being declared entitled to the pennant. It may be prosented at a special meeting, to be held next Friday evening. H. Gelder, boxing commissioner and member of the QOakland Athletic Club, was declared out of office for being absent more than two meetings. J.I. Nolan of the Ariel Rowing Club was appointed in his place. Nolan of the Ariel Rowing Club, Swett of the Lurline Swimming Club and Rein- hardt of tha University of Celifornia were appointed a commitiee of turee to investi- gate charces of professionalism against the last boxing tournament of the Olym- pic Club. A report will be made Friday evening. St. Mary’s Athletic Club was aiso sus- pended for non-j ayment of dues. IN AN ERGINE'S POWER, Charles Elsasser’s Arm Severed Clean From His Bady. It Was Caught B:tween a Moving Piston Ro! and a Cross Bar. Charles Elsasger, an engineer with the Edison Light and Power Company, 229 Stevenson street, was the victim of a most peculiar and shocking accidentat 8 o’clock last evening. His right arm was cut off above the elbow by the flying machinery almost as clean as a surgeon’s scaipel could have done it. At the time of the accident the injured man was busy wiping the dripping oil off one of the engines. His arm suddenly slipped between a cross bar and a pitman rod, and in an instant it was severed. Elsasser staggered back from the engine, the blood gushing over his clothes and the machinery. His companions witnessed the accident, but became excited and fora short time made no effort to stanch the flow of blood. The injured man, however, remained remarkably cool and directed those about him. He ordered a rope tied acound the bleeding limb, and when it was done he was removed to St. Mary’s Hospital. Here his arm was again amputated near the shoulder in order to obviate danger of blood poisoning. A family is dependent for supporton the injured man, bat notwithstanding this fact he remains cool and apparently cheer- ful, knowing full well that complaint will not alleviate his suffering or lessen his misfortune. ————— DOES GOLD GROW - Some Veteran Miners Who Pretend to Believe That It Does. They were all weatner-beaten trail blaz- ers, who bad led the march of civilization into the mountains, and as they toasted their shins by the big stove in Lon Pick- ett’s hotel bar at Mclrose, their conversa- tion wandered from the recent election and the departed glories of other days to the latest discoveries in science. John Helehan had just finished readine from a mining journat about Professor Emmons’ discovery of the method of transmating silver into gold. o] think Emmons is a bumbug,” said old Judge Longly, a California argonaut. “The old alchemists, you know, tried that, but they might as well tried to make an spple-secd. Natwre holds the germ, and all the scientists who imitate her can do is to quicken its growth.” “I’ve heard tell of gold growing,’’ re- marked Will Robbins. “So have L' said the Judge, “but you have pever seen it grow, have you? I don’t believe all the yarns these experts spin, anyhow.” “Boys,” spoke up John Treanor, *‘per- haps I have got some queer old notions stowed away under this digein’ hat of mine, but for thirty years, man and boy, I've been a prospector, and I have been doin’ some thinking. And I tell you now that I believe gold does grow. Twenty years ago I struck the Locust and sank a shaft. It was silver ore, and after diggin’ for awhile I gave it up in disgust. Then I wandered over to the other side of the range and located the Banner, a copper mine now in the possession of the Ana- conda Company. I mosey:d around for awhile, and eii}n years ago I went back to my old love, the Locust. Hung me if I could believe my eyes, boys, when I found the prettiest ledze of gold ore right where pictare, and I kept right on diggin’, and have beén diggin’ in that hole ever since. It seemed to me that in the places where the water struck it it grew richer. Irunin three tunnels at the bottom, but found the gold was not yet ripe, so I just closed up the tunnels and let them rest for a few years."” _“Blame me, if I don't think Hank Steb- bins does the same thing.’ said Jack Flice. “Hank lives up in Soap Gulch, and has a claim he calls the Belcher. He discovered it thirty years ago when Wash Stapleton was making bullets in his lead mine to kill Indians with. It is in a fanny formation for that part of the country. Itisina reef of snndp lying between the lime formation that borders on the Mel- rose Valley aud stratified gneiss forma- tion that runs from that point to the base of Red Monntain. Thirty yearsago Hank aiscovered that there were globules of sil- ver in the sand and located it, but there wasn't enough mineral to pay and he abandoned it. “Ten years ago he went back to the old mine and began turning over the mine. He began to find chunks of gold instead of silver. He has a good thing of it now. He mines it like the Mexicans used to | mine it years ago. He cuts stairs in the | sand and takes the rock upin a candle | box and sorts it over. Now all he hasgot to do when he wants to make a stake is to go down to the sand-pile and wiggle a crowbar around for a few minutes, when up comes a piece of shining goid. Sev- eral capitalists have attempted to get hold of the wine, and one of Heinze's agents made him a good offer for it, but Hank won’t sell, tor he is sure he has a tortune if the gold keeps on growing.’—Butte Inter-Mountai ————— CAPTURING WILD HORSES.

A General Murmur of Dissatisfaction as to the Number of the Lights. After a protracted delay the electric cur= Tent was. turned on in nine lamps on Hayes street last Tuesday night. There are seven lights on Hayes street, between Franklin and Laguna, with a prospect of additional lamps being extended from Franklin to Larkin stree! But at pres« ent the amount subscribed is not suffi- cient to cover these three blocks. The amount at present subscribed per month on the blocks now lighted 1n $109, and as the cost of the lights is $2 25 each per week, or about $10 per month, a sur- plus each monthef nearly $20 remains to the credit of the light fund. Tnis will be placed to the credit of the subscribers by the Merchants’ Association and at the end idea can generaily be formed by the ex- perienced man as to which route the ani- | mals will take in their way to the rugged | hills, for which they invariably make | when disturbed. A ‘scheme is mapped out to cut them off if possible, and the | party scatters, each to take up msallotted | position. Of course, whiie doing this, | every advantage is tuken of the natural | inequalities of the ground, so as to escape observation. When the alarm is given, bowever, all need for caution is at an end, and each hunter puts his steed in a fuli | gallop. The siallion, the head of the | heard, boldly comes out to meet him, and | endeavors to distract attention from the rest. In some rare instances he is lassoed and captured at once, but he generaliy man- ages to r-join his wives, which by this | time have trooped in single file with his | favorite mares in the lead. Should the | hera be turned and get into difficulties the stallion takes up his position in the | van, and the great object is to shut him | off from the rest. Should this be accom- plished, both Lie and the mares become confused, and the lassoers often manage to make two or turee per man. Instances have been known where horses have been thrown to the ground by the hunter giving a violent jerk to the animal’s tail when it was making an abrupt turn. When his quarry is brought down, either by this methoa or the use of the lasso, the rider jumps from his steed, whips a “blinder”” (a_handkerchief is used when there is nothing else procurable) over the prostrate horses eyes, and straps np one of his forelegs seeurely. It this is prop- erly done the animal may be safely left *until called for,” for no horse thus se- cured can strav far.—Chambers’ Journal.

The probabilities are that subscribers will ment during the last two months of the year. As the electric company would not con- tract at the minimum rate for a single block, the blocks now lighted had to be treated as a whole, without regard to the sums contributed in the separate blocks, and tne number of lights is as great as the amount subscribed will warrant. This distribution of lamps does not meet with the approval of the subscribers and as a consequence the celebration which it was intended would take place to-night wil! not be held. On the con- trary, there is a ceneral murmur of dis- satisfaction all along the line, not only with the space between the lamps, which is claimed to be too much, but also with the illuminating power.
