He 1dentified various marks he had made on the proofs and copv he had of notarial | blanks printed since 1894. Charles H. Crocker said the words ‘“‘to | me” had been dropped about 1891 and printed again in 189. : W. A. Stanford was again called to identify some marks he raade on the copy for 10,000 notarial blanks on January 8, 1896. Vor Ahn came back again to say he knew nothing of proofs or forms printed | prior to 1894, because it was the custom to | destroy this kind of stuff after it was three years old. 3 J. . Jephson, a printer at 1709 Market street, took the stand tosay he had printed the forms used by Cooney on the Enright deeds, but was not allowed to tell his story, because Attorney Reddy said this fact had nothing to do with the perjury charge against Cooney. The case will be resumed this morning. OORINTHIAN YAOHT OLUB. New Ofiicers Elected and a Long De- Dbate Over Whut Is an Amateur. The Corinthian Yacht Club held its an- nual meeting last night in R>d Men's Hall, 510 Bush street, elected officers for 11 ensaing year, fruitlessly debated the definition of an amateur athlete, and con- cluded with a little social time furnished n a ueighboring refreshment place by the Commodore, Alex J. Young; vice-com- modore, Carl Westerfeld; port captain, | John H. Keefe; board of directors—Alex J. Young, Carl Westerfeld, John H. Keete, E. B. Lathrop, C. L. Barrett, F. R. Coo William Fisbher; regatta com- mittee—J. H. Hapvs, P. J. Morbensten, | T. J. Kavanaugh. Cooney put by Joseph prop a form with bis the .case of Mrs. ng certain s case he used ame prinied on it. In| Craven’s deeds the ac- Enowledgment was made on a general | blank. The Fair people see in these facts evidence against Cooney. Through Assist- ant Prosecuting Attorney Hosmer they endeavored to rcet the Jinright document into court, and then it was Reddy sprung | the turkey metaphor to his own advan- | tage. When Magistrate Carroll Cook heard arguments on both sides. Hosmer con- tended that the fict that Cooney used his individual blanks on one deed and gene- ral planks on Craven deeds, was proof, prima facie, that there was something wrong. Reddy stood pat on the turkey | logic, and ‘in the end the court fell in:o line. | The prosecution put Detective Seymour on the stand to formally introduce the Enright documents, after & of technical evidence on the part of a number of H. 8. Crocker & Co.'s em-‘ | | ployes. For many a day the Fair chil- dren have held these deeds up their sleeve to spring ai an opportune moment in | their fight against Mrs. Craven. The pencil deeds were acknowledged by | Cooney at his place of business, 11 Mont- | gomery street. The Wright documents | were execfited in his father’s office in the | Phelan building. That is wny, according | to ihe young notary, different forms of | notarial certificates were used. But this | explanation hus never been satisfactory to | the Fair people. They see in this use of | different blanks a world of meaning. Tt | was not probable, they argued, that Cooney would use a general form in one case and a blank containing his printed name in another without cause. The reason they advanced wasthat the pencil deeas acknowiedgments were made after | Fair's death and on forms that would | bring home no telitale evidence of such a | fraud. These Wright deeds have been in | the posseswion of the attorneys for the | Fair children since the inception of the case. Yesterday was the first time they undertook to make them a factor in the case. Notwithstanding their defeat it is very probable that to-day they will at- tempt to get the documents into court by a round-about method, and have turkey take the precedence for the nonce of beei- side from this incident the proceedings in the case yesterday were devoid of in- | terest.

CAPTAIN LEES MOUBNING [N THE BIG BROWN HOUSE Mrs. Flood, Stricken With Pneumonia, Died Last Evening. Conscious to the Last She Talked and Prayed With Those Around Her. Her Children Were With Her When the End Came—Funeral to Be Unostentatious. There is mourning in the big brown- stone mansion on California street. Mrs. Mary L. Flood, widow of the late million- aire, James C. Flood, died last night at 9:30 o’clock. Last Sunday evening she was taken ill and her ailment rapidly developed into pneumonia. Dr. Morse was summoned and everything possible to check the dis- ease was done, but it was useless. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Flood began to fail, and it was evident that death was near at hand. Yesterday she failed to show signs of improvement, but remained conscious Around her bedside were gathered her children. Her mind re- mained unclouded to the Iast, and up to within a few moments before her death she talked and prayed with those around her. Mrs. Flood came to this City last fall to take up her permanent residence in the big brownstone mansion on the brow of Nob Hill. She had been: living in the East almost since the death of her husband, but had determined to make her San Francisco house her home. While in the East her health was not of the best, and one of the reasons for her taking her residence here was the hope thatt he California climate would benefit her. With her carie her daughter, and while neither Mrs. Flood nor ber daughter were often seen in society circles their in- fluence was great. They never scemed to care for social lile and the mansion on the hill has never been lit up for an evening’s pleasure. tedious day ‘f Some of the Principal Figures That Appeared in the Cooney Case Yesterday. The treasurer’s report showed that the club has begun the new year with a neat balance of $33093. Durinz the year past the total receipts were $1926 and the total disbursements $1765 07, There are now 144 members in the Corinthian Yacht Club. The appointment of inter-club delegates was leit to the board of directors. John W: Pew. the retiring president, was chairman of the meeting, and there were forty-five members present. The proposed definition of an amateur | yachtsman, wlhich was much discussed and without definite action, reads: “An amateur or Corinthian yachtsman is one who has never accepted remuneration for services rendered in handling or serving on a yacht or any coastwise or inland water crail, or who is a professional in any other sport.” Many of the members | thought this too exciusive. e THAT OONTRACT MARRIAGE. Quatkenbush - Agaiust Quackenbush 5till Occupies Judge Seawell. | The troubles of Thomas M. Quackenbush and his wife, Nancy Abboti-Quackenbush, again ozcupied Judge Seawell’s attention yesterday. Mrs. Quackenbush claims a right to $500 a month for permauent support by virtye | of a marriage by concract. Quackenbush admits that the writing is his, but says he did not know what he was signing. The first witness called was Mrs. Delia Heermans, who testified: *The first time met Mr. Quackenbush was at Mrs. Quackenbush’s home on Leavenworth street. 1 met him on a Sunday at_dinner with a Judge Hardy. I met him {re- quently on Sundays at dinner, and in the verse with him and with her. 1t was at one of those times that he told me of his er.gage- ment. He told me he was engaged to Mrs. Abbott, and that they were to be married and take a trip to Canada and also to New York, and that he was going to build a house for her, and that the house would be built just as she planned it.” Mrs. Mary Gooding, Mrs. Harr'et Macool, F. C. Noble and Henry W. Brindelson had known Mr. Quackenbush and Mrs. Abbott and had supposed them to be married. Their knowledge on this point was not clear. Further testimony in this case is to be heard to-day. — THE TIE SIDING AOCIDENT. No San Francisco or Uther Passengers Were Injured. The local Union Pacific Railroad office was kept busy yesterday answering ques- tions in regard to the reputed wreck of a Union Pacific overland in Wyoming. A Cheyenne dispatch 1n yesterday morn- ing’s newspapers stited that the Union Pacific eastbound flyer had been wrecked at 1 o'clock that morning at Tie Siding, thirty miles west of Cheyenne, and that two Pullmans were wrecked and a number of passengers injured. The inquiries at' the local office were made by friends of San Francisco passen- gers who were known to be on the train, Gerneral Agent D. W. Hitchcock wired to Salt Lake City for particulars. Follow- ing is a copy of the reply he received from Manager W. H. Bancroit of the Union Pa- cific system: - Accident at Tie Siding insignificant beyona delay of two or three hours to train and slight injury to car. No one injured. Trains all moving on time. O O Not how cheap, but how good for the money; printor bind. Mysell-Roilins, 22 Clay. * Ip charitable circles Mrs. Flood was well known, althcugh her charity was not of the ostentatious kind. She gave largel but she gave quietly, and many who pa took of her bounty knew not from whose hand it came, Itis certain, however, that her charities amounted to several thou- sands every vear. ‘When she was taken ill last Sunday it was not supposed that the malady would become serious, but as her strength began to fail, her family became much alarmed, and never left her bedside except for a moment at a time. Monday the nrst symptoms of pneu- monia showed themselves and then it was the suspicion that the illness might prove fatal came intothe mindsof those around her. Tuesday she was better, but the im- provement was but for a few hoursand she showed signs that the disease was growing upon her. Yesterday morning about 2 o’clock she sank g0 low that her children thought the end was near, but again she rallied and passed the day in safety. As evening approached it became ap- varent, however, that there was no bope, and friends and relatives could only stand by the bed and wait for the end. It came at haif-past 9. Mrs. Flood was 69 years old. She leaves two children, Cora Jane Flood and James L. Fiood, both of whom live in the house on the hill. As yot no arrangements for the funeral have been made, but it is understood that the interment will be private. Mrs. Flood’s estate, from all accounts, amounts to a very large figure. Since James C. Flood died his estate has besn divided in various ways and much more of 1t has gone to the children than was given to them at his death. Az A BENOH SHOW IN MAY, The Olympic Gun Club Decided Last Evening to Give an Exhibition. The Olympic Gun Club met last evening and heard the report of the committes from the Pacific Kennel Club. Now that the latter club has disbanded, the Olym- pics decided to apply immediately to the American Kennel Club for membership, after which it will go ahead with arrange- ments for a benca_show, which will be held in this City in May next. It will not be known for some time whom the club will select to judge the show, but itis binted that Juage Mortiner will be favorably considered. NEW Y. M. I COUNOIL.

Billings, secretary of the Watson- ville Volunteer Fire Department, has ad- dressed a letter to the carnival directors regarding a proposition to have a volun- teer firemen’s tournament some day dur- ing carnival week. No provision has been made by the executive committee for any firemen’s tournament, but if a sufficient number of the Volunteer Firemen’s Asso- ciation of the State should signify their willingness to participate in such &n af- fair the committee would devote an affer- noon to 1it. A letter was this morning addressed to the secretary of the Pacitic Inter-Yacht Club Association calling the attention of that body to the fact that a day bad been set apart for a naval display, in which it was proposed to assemble all the war ves- sels, yachts, etc., in the bay in a grand marine pageant, to be concluded with a regatta of sailing vessels. The associa- tion has been asked to name a committee to confer with the carmival directors on the details. The Cycle Board of Trade and Asso- ciated Wheelmen will bold a meeting to- morrow night in the assembly-room of the California Hotel, to discuss bicycle day in carnival week. DEFICITS I CIY FONDS Dr. Rottanzi’s Caustic Comments on Scme Lavish Expsn- ditures. With Strict Economy Many Deficits May Vanish at the End of the Fiscal Year. Dr. Rottanz, the chawrman of the Fi- nance Committee of the Board of Sup visors, has been busily engaged for some time in clearing up the City’s balance- sheet. Upon consultation with the chair- men of the various Supervisorial commii- tees and their assistants he hopes that an economical administration henceforth will leave ultimately no deficit. As affairs stand now, including con- tracts for $12,500 in the Street Depart- ment, there is a net deficit of $71,898 44. The greatest apparent deficit, impos- sible for the Finance Committee to curtail on account of vicious laws enacted by previous Legislatures, existsin the County Clerk’s oftice. The deficit in that particu- lar depariment for the first six months amounts to $13,646 83. As its expenses last year were over $134,000 and the appropriation for this vear 1s_only $100,000, the approximate de- ficit will foot up over $34,000. In the street-lighting fund there is a deficit of $11,322 50 for the first six months. On consulting with Mr. Rivers, Dr. Rottanzi believes this appropriation will be made to balance before the end of the year. In the Street Department the deficit amounis to $19,310. Outstanding con- tracts on hand aggregate $12,500, thus leaving the department to run on about one-thira the appropriation for the next six months. Chsirman Devany believes that with strict economy there will be no deficit at the end of the fiscal year. The stationery and supplies department has a deficit of $2405 16 out of an appro- priation of $22,000. Chairman Hawkins stated to Dr. Rottanzi that all the depart- ments were without any stationery what- ever, and that ‘‘the cleanup was com- plete.”” By curtailing expenses he expects to come out clear atthe end of the fiscal vea; think the City and County Hospital,"" said Dr. Rottanzi, “has been conducted in the most scandalons manner. Asa mem- ber of the Hospital Commiltee, on visit- ing that institution I was not surprised, but simply horrfied at the condition in which that institution had been lefr. “Tne amount appropriated for repairs was shamefully wasted and the place left | in a most deplorable and unsanitary con- dition. The deficit for the first six months amounts to $3787 81, and the repair fund was overdrawn by §789 23. “I did not care to interfere with the ex- per: of the Board of Health in his work, butam willing to co-operate with that b dy n bringing to light the criminal ex- penditures made in that institution. ““In County Jail No. 2 the deficit aggre- gated $2725 28 and in the police patrol §1800 21 “The election fund was overdrawn by $12,600 81. No remedy can be had for this unless there be a surplus in other departments. “There are surpluses in several depart- ments. That in the fii 'm repair fund amounts to $7717 20.”" Dr. Rottanzi believes that in great part the deficit is due to extravagance in tne management of affairs and the crea- tion at Sacramento of unnecessary oftices with large ealaries in this City. JENNIE PARSONS' MONEY, Her Relatives n.m[n; Her Husband’s Kin for the Estate. The contest in the estate of Jennie Par- sons, deceased, has been narrowed down between the relatives of Mrs. Parsons on one side and the relatives of Otis Parsons on the other side. Mrs. Parsonsand her husband were both drowned at sea ninety miles from Victoria by the wreck of the steamship Pacific in 1875. A year ago a woman calling herself Mrs. Minnie Adams Brooks laid claim to the estate of §4500 on the ground that she was the daughter of Mrs. Farsons and at the same {ime offering a will said to have been written by Mrs. Parsons after the ship began to go down. that the will was picked up in a bottle on the coast near the wreck. Some time ago the so-called bottle will was declared invalid and at yesterday’s hearing of the case it was learned that Mrs. Brooks is dead. No appearance wi made on behalf of her heirs. A continuance of a month was granted for tl urpose of taking the deposivion enley, the only survivor of the wreck, for the purpose of proving which was first drowned Mr. or Mrs. Parsons, as on that point depends the inheritance of the estate. THE STORM [8 GENERAL. Heavy Rains Falling in All Parts of the Siate. According to the reports received at the local weather bureau the rain that reached this City yesterday morning was a part of a heavy storm that extends over the State. For several days past there Mave been indications thai there was a‘§torm approaching. Last night's prospects were for a heavy downpour in the mountains and alony the foothilis, Those at the weather bureau predict that the storm will last ‘over to- day in many parts of the State, and per- haps longer. st evening it was difficult to predict when the change would take place that would scatter the storm. .

Going the Pace That Kills on Money That Was Not His Own. Great Mental Anguish Caused to ths Woman He Had Promisd to Love and Cherish. Will E. Fisker, the real estate dealer who succeeded in spending more money than he could earn, has a new trouble to face as his wife Rebecca Iisher has sued him for a divorce. The complaint de- manding a legal separation on behalf of Mrs. Fisher was filed yesterday by Bishop & Wheeler, attorneys for Mrs. Fisher, and thus the expectations of her friends and relations came true. For a long time those familiar with the relations of Mr. and Mrs, Fisher have been looking fora disruption of the family as it was known that his habits were not in accordance with her ideas of right. His indulgence in stimulants has been particularly obnox- ious to the lady and all her pleadings for him to desist have been in vain. A friend of the family, who professed to know the grounds on which Mrs. Fisher demands a divorce, said yesterday that | on as the | she alleged habitual intox main cause of the action against her hus- band. She alleges that for more than a year he has been addicted to excessive in- dulgencs in tha flowing bowl, and that in cansequence she has suffered great mental anguish. He has been incapacitated for the proper discharge of his duties as a business man on many occasions, and to this is attributed some of the acts that bave brought him before the courts in civil suits, and also in the proceeding which seeks to have him arrested for al- leged embezzlement of §1688 belonging to the Wallace estate. While Fisher has been going the pace that kills and has been squandering the fortune which his wife inherited from a former husband she has been doing her best to gather up the loose ends of her affairs, but all her efforts have been frus- trated by the reckless acts of her spouse. Patience has ceased to be a virtue, and at last, for self-defense, she is driven to the divorce court. Fisher married his wife, who was then Mrs. Jennings, in 1391. She avers that since their marriage he has never contributed anything to the sup- vort of the family. In the statement of his affairs she appears as a creditor for more than $40,000, showing that from time to time he obtained cash from her. These sums went with the funds of his clients and patrons to meet the requirements of his extravagant expenditures. v inh T W. E. FISHER RETURNS Back From Stockton Accompanied :by a Private Detective. Will E. Fisher, the real estate agent whose pearance several days ago, in the face of serious financial embarrass- ments, ¢alled forth unfavorable comment, returned from Stockton yesterday morn- ing accompanied by one Joseph Nye, said to be a private detective. So much is definitely known, but both Fisner and his companion subsequently vanished into airy nothing, leaving not a rack behind. It may, however, be salely assumed that if he did at first seriously contemplate flight from the inconsiderate demands of nis creditors, second thoughts suggested & more honorable course of action. The report contained in some of the evening papers to the effect that Fisuer claims to have been in communication with his creditors lacks official confirmation. Charles'S. Neal, who was appointed one of a committee of three for the purpose of obtaining from the various creditors as- signments of their claims, with a view to consolidating the same, professed com- plete ignorance of Fisher's movements, beyond the information already pub- “We propose to ap- ply for an assignment to levy on the ussets,” said Mr. Neal, “though as yet we have discovered nothing more tanzible than Fisher's office furniture with which 1o meet the expenses of such an applita- tion. We have commenced suit for office rent, as is publicly known, and intend to serve the necessary papers on Fisher him- self just as soon as we find him. Person- ally I was not aware that he was in town until I read the evening papers.” = E. B. Jennings, the stepson of the in- solvent real estate agent, could supply no additionsl particulars. Fisher had not been near the house up to a late hour yesterday afternoon. His disappearance dates from Monday a week ago, and was first made known in cornection with the suit instituted against both Fisher and Henry A. Smith by the special administrator of the Fair estate for $600 rent due and for restitution of the remises at 14, 16 and 18 Post street. Itis Enown that he was in Stockton on the Tuesday morning, and was there tempo- rarily housed hy Joseph Nye. Both Nye and Fisher took passage on the Weber on Tuesday evening last for this city, and were recognized by several passengers. Immediately upon the boat’s arrival here they again disappeared, but Whetber or not they have gone into hiding the sequel alone wi ow conclusivel NEW TO-DAY. nmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmrwmmmn"mmm1vrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrmmmmmmmmnmrm smmmmmmmmuMnrm%mmmmmmmmmmmmg WET-WEATHER but we can do it. the weather’s be THE WETTER THE BETTER—TYPICAL pretty big pull to get you out in the rain, brave the one to gain the other.
