Company, with £500,- | | popular_and courteous owner of A NEW LINE OF GASOLINE BOATS One of Them Will Ply Between Here and Fort Ross. The Treasure Lost From the Steamer Sunol Lccated at Last. News of the Drowning of R. Vahe:, the Mail Companv’s Agent, Comes Up by th: Newport. George W. Call, the wealthy rancher and owner of Fort Ross, and Ross & Hewlett, the shipping and produce mer- chants, are about to put in operation a new line of steam schooners between here and coast ports. The first one to be 1aunched will run between here and Fort Ross, and in her spare moments will run excursions on the vay. She will probably be named. Tne Call—not the San Fran- cisco Cary, but the G. F. Call, after the Fort Ross. The new boat will be 115 feet long on the keel, 14 feet beam and 5 reet deep. Her gasoline engines will develop forty horsepower and will at any stage of the tide drive her nine kno's an hour. She has twice the power of the Mary C and Etta B, both of which vessels are about the same size. Fort Ross is considered the paradise of fishermen and hunters. The new gasoline boat will be ready to convey them there about the first week in June. The new boat will have accommodation for from twelve to fifteen cabin passengers and everything possible will be done for their comfort. Donald Ross of Ross & Hewlett said yesterday that the vessel would be ready in about thirty-five days for her rial trip. The same company bas another gasoline oner under way whose dimensions will be 74 feet overall. Just where she will run Mr, Ross refused to state. That it will be to some of the near-by ports goes without saying. A. E. Pryor, general manager of tb Piper-Aden-Goodall Company, has at L located the treasure that went overboar when the steamer Sunol turned turtle, Forten days the wrecker Whitelaw worked on the job and secured on - bar of lead and the steamer’s boilers. Nothing eise could be located, and the expense beinz heavy the wiecker was withdrawn. Then Pryor and genial “Joe” Aden buckied on their armor und entered the fray. Thev secured five boats from t: eir fleet of schooners and two smail tugboats. A!l of them were fixed up with drags, and inside of two hours the treasure was located. The schooner broke away, from her moor- ings, however, and the work had to be done all over agsin. All day Sunday t e work Wwas prosecuted without resulf, but yesterday morning the treasure was located again and buoyed. A diver was sent down, and afier a thorough exami- nation he reported that the iron safe, the lead bars and a lot of miscellaneous stuff was all piled up in a heap justas they were dropped from the deck of the steamer. An empt will be made to raise the lot some time to-day and Messrs. Aden and Pryor are confident that nearly every- | thing of value will be recovered. Should to be | their predictions prove correct it will be hailed with joy by everybody on the water front, as the Piper-Aden-Goodall Com- pany is deservedly the most popular in San Francisco. E. H. Dolph, the diver who went down to locate the treasure, proved himself to be the right man 1n the right place. ‘‘He proved himsel! to be faiinful and sincere in all his endeavors,’' said Mr. Pryor, “and worked hard in our interests from the word go. I hope we will never re- quire the services of a diver again, but should we Dolph will assuredly have the call.” The Mail Company’s steamer Newport arrived from Panama and way ports yes- terda She was delayed at some of the Central American ports and in conse- quence will not be able to get away until the 10th inst. The cabin passengers were: Captain R. Sewell, W. McDougall, R. Ibach, J. een, A. T. Lowel, H. N. Kickland, T.Quinones, E. Bartholemes, H. G. Smith, G. F. Thompson, ‘Thomus Reed, C. Y. J.W. Winston, Sfiss Isabelle 0'Connor, Anthony, Mrs. M. Newman, Jjohn Bra and wif Cantain Lee R. Sewell, the nephew of Arthur Sewell, owner of the Kenilworth, intended to go to Honolulu on that vessel. As it happened the clipper made a very smart run 10 San Francisco and receiving quick dispateh got away from here in baliast on the 34 inst. Had the Newport been on time Captain Sewell might still have caught the veste/, but all the cir- cumstances were against him. The gal- lant skipper will sail on the Rio de Janeiro and join. the Kenilworta at Honolulu, where the latter will load sugar for New York. It will be remembered that the Kenilworth is an English-built ship and several years ago was burnt o the water's edge at Port Costa during the big fire, 8he was then sold to the bighest biddef and after being repaired was placed under the American flag. Since that time she has made many fast trips, and ibe present one may be gauged by the fact that the Dirigo, the only Amer- ican-built steel ship afloat, which left New York five days before. the Kenilworth, bas not yet reac. ed port.

The cold hand of deatb grasped him | Sunday, however, and now sadness and mourning have taken the place of the hoped-for joy and celebration that was in- tended to take place atthe Harris resi- dence, 822 Turk street. David Harris was in his lifetime very well known in San Francisco. He had lived here almost continuously for over twenty years, and until the last few years of his life had been actively engaged in local mercantile affairs. The vitality and strength of the old | gentleman were remarkable, but no more S0 than the vigor and ciearness of his mind and the reliability of his memory. Mr. Harris’ relatives—most of whom were children, grandchildren and great- grandcuildren—were never certain as to the real date of his birth until a month ago, shortly after he had been taken ill. He then told Mrs. Isaac Harris, his daughter-in-law, and with whom he had been living during the past tweive years, | that he was born on the 15th of May, 1793. He explained to her that he had made a practice of teiling people that he w: younger, but now that he felt the end w near he woul!d tell her the true facts. The dead centensarian was born at Lankhorst, in the west of Prussia, and came of 8 wealthy Jewish family. When about thirty years of age he started out to shift for himself, having at his command quite a comfortable fortune. He chose the occupation of a merchant. For a time he was guite successful, but the restless state of Europe at :bat time combine with some unfortunate speculations of his own to bring about a series of reverses which nearly beggared him and his par- ents as well. It was then that Mr. Harris decided to emigrate to America—the land of the free. He arrived in New York early in 1861 He launched forth for himse!f moderately as a trader, but was indifferently success- ful. He had two brothers living in New Orlears and at their suggestion went there to try his luck. He went into the general trading business there and made money from the start. After seven years of this life he concluded that golden California offered as many inducements to him as to the thousands who had come hither and made fortunes, so he undertook another | journ and during his career in this locality has engaged in many different vocations, but principally in bis favorite capacity of a trader. During the last-few years of his life, however, he abstained from the mer- cantile field, and lived in emse and rest such as he deserved. The deceased leaves four sons and one daughter, all of whom are well past the meridian’ot life themselves, nine grand- children and fifteen great-grandchildren. The funeral will take place to-day from the residence of Mrs, gulc Harris, 822 Turk street. OLAM-DIGGER'S PERIL. Frank Wilson Rescued After Clinging for Hours to His Boat. Frank Wilson, a clam-digger, living at Third and Howard streets, had a narrow escape from drowning yesterday after- noon. He was in his boat, about a mile out from Hunters Point, about 2o’ clock, when the boat capsized. Wilson is not much of | a swimmer, so he cinng to the boat and managed to get his legs across the boitom. He remzined in that position for over four hours, when he was rescued by two fisher- men in the boat Gracchi. They took him to the foot of Green street. The patrol wagon was summoned, and lha was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital. OUPID WINS AT LAST. John M. Willlams’ New Venture After Seventy-Five Years of Life. John M. Williams, aged 75 years, repre- sented to bea wealthy resident of Chicago, and Mrs, Annie E. Dearborn of Calais, Me., secured a license yesterday to marry. They arrived here several days ago and stopped at the Palace Hotel, accompanied | by seyeral friends, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Park E. Simmons of Chicago. They and the Simmons had handsome apartments. It wason April 3 that Mr. Williams last registered. Yesterday the entire party paid their bill and took their departure. All are believea to be promi- nent and wealthy. ———— MILITARY NOTES. Work of the Signal Corps of the Third Brigade Sunday, the 21st, was an ideal day for long- distance beliograph work over the Sacramento Valley. The Third Brigade Signal Cozps cov- ered the distance of thirty-one miles, from the capitol to Vacaville, with ease. Sergeant Byrne and Ed Harvey, assisted by Mr. Fother- ingham, a former member of the corps, ran the instrument st Vacaville, while Lieutenant Martin and Sergeant Watkius, with a squad, were stationed on the Capitol. From tie Capiiol dome, toward the north- west, the Marysville Buttes were plainly i cernible; to the southwest Mount Diablo form was clearly cut against the bright sky; while the foothills and beautiful snow-capped Sierras to the northeast and east offered a most inviting range ror long-distance work. Stations were to have been opened by 10 o’clock, but a dispaich was received from Ser- geant liyroe that owing (0 the distance of the Vacaville station from town s flash could not be expected until about noon. The boys on the Capitol waiied patiently until about hali- past 12, not knowing the exact location of the communicating station. Exactly at that hour a bright flash was caught from the foothills above Vacaville. The home station was set up, and signals were kept going for an hou: t Tuesday the Sigual Corps tendered a re- ption to one of its former memuers, Assem- blyman Scott F. Ennis.

Katie Malconson has been arrested by Fire Marshal Towe on a charge of arson. about how she got into trouble, excepting that her roomers upstairs must have set | fire to the house. # The story has been told. The house on Taylor street, near Ellis, was discovered afire at 4:45 o’clock Saturday morning, A STATE PIDNEER DIES OF CANCER William P. Humphreys Expires at the Lane Hospital, A Prominent Character in Local History for Nearly Half a Century. Surveyor for Fifteen Years and Pro- ctor of Plans for S:wering the City f Mexico William P. Humphreys, Assistant City and County Surveyor, and for many years prominent in local history, died at the Lane hospital yesterday of hemorrhages and brain fever, both of which resulted from a malignant cancer of the throat. Mr. Humphreys had not complained of the affection for more than three months, though he knew he was doomed long ago. Mr. Humptreys was born in Pennsyl- vania in 1829 and educated at the Carlisle University. He came from an old line of scientists and naval officers. His grand- father was Chief of Construction in the United States navy, and was offered a fabulous sum to take charge of some great enginesring work for the Russian Gov- ernment, but he declined. After graduating at Carlisle young Humphreys entered the navy and wasa midshipman, serving on the Brazil station on the famous Cumberiand. He was or- dered to California in April, 1849, and after his arrival he was engaged for years in coast survey work. In 1852 he was elected City Surveyor, but he went East in 1853 and remeined until 1857, when he resigned from the coast survey. Fiom 1867 to 1832 he was City and County Sur- veyor, and from 1882 until 1886 he was Railroad Commissioner. After his term expired he was calied to the City of Mex- ico, where he planned the sewer sysiem by whick that City is now being drained. He then engaged in dredging operations in the East, but for three years past he has Leen assistant 1o Surveyor Tiiton. Mr. Tilton, though diffsring from Hum- phreys in politics, was retained for fifteen years as assistant during the Humphreys regime. Deceased leaves a widow and two chil- dren—William P. Humphreys and Miss Alice Humphreys. He was married to Miss Mary Stincen in 1870. The funeral will be private and will take place irom the late residence at 11 A. M. t0-mOrrow. |~ MARBLE-OUTTERS OBJEOT. They Do Not Wau't the City Hall Dome Work Pald For. ‘The Marble-cutters’ and Finishers’ Asso- ciation discussed the marble work in the dome of the City Hall last evening. The special committee appointed to keep watch of that job reported that the work was not up to the standard, and that the contractors — the California Travertine THE LATE WILLIAM P. \“§ - \ A A\ \\“'\ \ \ HUMPHREYS. and as soon as Assistant Chief John Dougherty reached the scene he placed Katie Maiconson and two other people he found on the grounds under arrest. It was evident to Dougherty that incen- diarism had been coinmitted, and his priconers were turned over to Fire Mar- shal Towe. The latter has been investigating the fire ever since with the result that Katie Malconson will have to explain many suspicions circumstances. The official report of Fire Marshal Towe shows that tue insurance, amoun ing 10 $1000, was excessive. Further than tuat the rooms in which the fire started were either lock=d or prepared for the furtherance of a conflagration by ripping of mattresses and a pientiful distribution ofinflammable material. Upon the discovery of a fire in their home Katie Malconson remained in her room with her head buried in her hands instead of running out into the street to get away from the flames. But worse than all Fire Marshal Towe bas positive evidence that a piece of burned newspaper presumed to have been nsed in the firing of one of the rooms cor- responds perfectly with another plece found in the room where Katie Malcon- son was arrested. The prisoner nas been the keeper of a lodging-house for transient trade, and she has lately been a heavy loser on the races. Aldrich’s Competency. OAKLAND, Car., April 5—George A.
