R DIED 'AWAY FROM HOME. Miss Maurer's Fatal Visit to wailan Is): A There wasa sad scene on Pacific-street whartyesterday. Hundreds of people were down to meet their friends, and among | them was a 1ather, who looked from face to face of those grouped along the railing, in the hopes that he would see a loved one. His disapoointment was great when | no famiiiar form appeared, and he got angry with the customs officer when the order was ziven to keep off the gangway. | Burning with impatience he fumed and { fretted, but later on he learned that his dsuznter was aboard but in her coffin. During her holiday trip the young womzn had died, and ail thatcame back | to the expectant father was the corpse. Fred Maurer is the father of the young lady, and it was he who swooned away yesterday when he saw a coffin instead of a the Ha- his danghter. Miss Maurer left here wi | her aunt _for a boliday in Hawail last month. While away was taken with | some throat trouble and, in spite of all ie care that could be given her, she died. | Her holiday was up aud the Australia | was to_have brouzht her home yesterday.

One-Sixth of Historic Mariposa Grant Goes to For- eigners. | | First Actual Transfer of the Prop- | erty in M:ny Years—$166,666 2 3 | the Price. Alvinza Hayward has sold to an Eng- | lisn syndicate a one-sixth interest in the celebratea Mariposa grant. The sale was consummated Monday. | The amount paid was §166,666 66 which would indicate that the whole estate, con- trary to numerous wila guesses hazarded by newspapers during the last decade, is estimated by one of its owners to be worth not more than $1,000,000. This is the first actual sale that has been | made of any of the property since 1887, notwithstanding repeated ramors of trans- | fers for large sums of money. The California Exploration Company is the purchaser. Its representative, H. Bratnober, consummated the deal. He is |the man who for the same company | bought the weil-known Elkhorn mine | that proved a veritable bonanza to the | London investors, while it brought Brat- | nober prominentiy before the public as a | promoter of mining. This introduction of English espital into California s considered significant by Mr. Hayward. He remarked last night that e thinks it augurs well for the State. It may be only a beginning on the part of London capitalists seeking mining invest- ments here. The Mariposa grant hasan interestinz history. The property itself includes about 45,000 acres of mineral, timber and agricultural land. About eight miles of the famous “mother lode’’ runs through it. There is abundance of water /for mo- ive power.

In 1872 Fremont, em- assed_financially, sold the grant to Eugene Kelly & Co. of New York, and | they spent a fortune during years of liti- gation before they cleared up the title to | the grant. Next the grant was sold to a California syndicate consisiing of Alvinza Hayward, | John W. Mackay, W. 8. Hobart, F.ood and J. P. Jones.

The young ladies reported the loss of | their money to the principal, Elisha Brooks, on Tuesday morning. They stated that they had left their satchels, | containing their purses, 1 an empty classroom and returned to find the purses missinz. - Mr. Brooks says he feels pretty sure the petty theft was committed by one of the pupils. **Among550 scholars,” he said, “‘there cannot tail to be a few black sheen.” He proposes to lay & trap for the culprit, but Lardly expects 1o suc- ceed. Much the same thing happened a year ago and a detective was called in, but he could do nothing. — e Quackenbush Cases on Argument.

Howard Smith, & carpenter, was working in the restaurantat7 Ninth street vesterday aft- ternoon, when the cook, Chris Haugaard, in- tentionally or accidentally spilled some water gver his 100le. They had some words, aud Smith struck the cook on the forehead with a hammer, knockiug him againsta table. De- | tectives ‘Gibson and Wren weze in the res ant atthe time, and they arrested Smith for assauit with a deadly weapon. it SR Waiting for Witnesses. Nashville Grant, the negro sailor who tried to kill Captain Killman of the Amerfcan bark Topgallant while on a recent vorage from Port Townsend to Austraiis, was up before United States Commissioner Hescock yester- day for examination, but his case went over until the vessel retuins to this port with the witnesses 0 the assault. Grant was sent | the Alameda County jail. 2 WHEELMEN IN A FERMENT Secession Is Being Urged by Some of the Local Clubs. Late News From Chicago Seems to Indicate a League Boycott. Professional Racing ani Racers Form a Potent Factor in the Con- troversy. A spirit of disquietude prevails among the wheelmen of the Northern Division of this State over the action of the League of American Wheelmen at its National con- vention, which has just closed its session in Albany, N. Y. The delegates from this jurisdiction, Chief Consul Frank H. Kerrigan and R. M. Welch, were instructed by their repre- sentatives to secure if possible local op- tion. This meant that each division should have the right to race on Sunday if it saw fit or as might be determined by the division council at its meetings. This privilegze was denied by the Na- tional body by a vote of 161 against 77, and this is what stirred up considerable feeling in the breasts of the wheelmen in this City. There is much talk of secession from the league, and this reason is among those ad- vanced : Professional riders are debarred from membership in the league, and ye: are made subject to its rules. This they con- sider is "unfair. Although they have yie!ded obedience to those rules, still they are ready to revolt, and consider this an opportune time to agitate their grievance in the hope that by a eplit they may come in for better terms. California having two divisions—the northern and the southern—is unfortu- nately divided in itself on the local option question, as can be seen by the following resolution: At a regular meeting of the Board of Officers of the South California Division, L. A. W., held December 9, 1896, the following resolu- tion was unanimously adopted : Resolred, That it be the sense of this Board of the Sonth California Division, L. A. W., that the leazue do not grant divisions the option of Sunday racing, and that our delegate to the National Assembly be so instructed. Also that this resolution be published in the official organ. This action on the part of the south was considered by the San Francisco clubs to be unfortunate, as it divided the State vote and encouraged the opponents of Sunday racing. Nothing positive will be dons by the local clubs, however, until the reiurn of Delezates Kerrigan and Welch, after | which a division counc:1 will be called and | & consensus of opinion of the delegates | sought in favor of seceding, with a proba- | bility of forming a Western League, which Lwill ‘be independent of the East. This idea has gained strength by the action of the professional riders in Chicago who have | started a boycotton theleague meet which |is to be held in Philadelphia in August. | From this it is thought that a rival league With the interests of the professionals at | heart is likely to be the result. Fully one-third of the land in Great Britain is owned by membersof the House | of Lords.
