All the Contracting Parties Made Their Departure After the Ceremony. The British Tramp Glenaven Sailed for the Qrient Yesterday for the Mail Comp ny. The British tramp steamer Glenavon went to sea yesterday in ballast. She did not take any passengers, nor will she bring any back. She is simplyan extra cargo bost put on by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to run opposition to the new Japanese line. Over 3000 tons of freight is waiting for her at Hongkong and Yokohama and the chances are that she will come back loaded down to the hatches. Competition seems to be the order of the day along the front just now. The steamer Columbia which sailed for Port- land, Or., yesterday carried cabin passen- gers for §5 and steerage passengers foi $250. In consequence there was not a re berth i vessel aud cots had to cial nall and dining- be put up in the room. as taken up and the trains that correspondingly empty. Lobert Lewers, Captain and the barkentine Newsboy, Captain Mallestad, are having a race from Honol Both vessels sailed at tne same hour on May 21 iastand §500 a side depends upon the outcome. The money has been put upin the hands of Captain Campbell of the Interisland Steamship Company, and will be paid on demand to the winning master. Both vessels are evenly matched and shonid make a pretty race. The Lewers is 695 tons gross and spreads less canvas than ihe Newsboy. The latter is only tons burden, but equals the Lewers in carrying capacity. They got away on even terms and the | barkentine at once got out sternsails and every that would draw. Commissioner Chadbourne insists that the new ferry depot shall be finished by December next. In talking about the matier yesterday he said: “There will be no extension of time. Fach and eve one of the contractors will have to live °p The stone work, the iron work and the carpenters will have to nish their work on time or else they will Every avaiable spot on the big | | have to go 10 the Supreme Court for their | money. As one memoer of the commis- sion I wili not sanction an hour’s delay.” Ay Commissioner Harney is of the same mind it appears as though there will be a move among the contractors in the near future. The Dirigo, the only American steel ng ship, did not have to lie up, even though she did lose her charter to load sugar at Honoluiu for New York. She was moved to Eppinger's yesterday, and will there take on board a cargo of wheat for Europe. The schooner Sailor Boy, which sailed for Port Clarence last week, had to put | back in distress yesterday. She was caughtin a gale off the Farallones and part of her deckload of coal was washed overboard. The cargo in the hold shiftea and gave the vessel 3 list, so Captain Peterson determined to return to port. The vessel was docked at Mission-s med will vroceed to sea again. The Sailor Boy is going to the Arctic to sup- ply the steam whale:s with coal. Nearly ail of the latter have been in the frozen for over a year and are conse- ntly out of fuel. The “sloop yacht Francine had a col- lision with fisherman’s wharf yesterday that did not damage the wharf very much, left the sloop minus her headg The crew of the sloop deserted on the first opportu: nd the captain was left to continue tke cruise alone. The schooner J. M. Coleman is being prepared for the rush back from the Alaskan gold mines. She and the sieam- schooner Excelsior have been built up and omodations put in. Both vesssls w firsi-ciass passenger boats, and no doubt both will come back crowded. Captain Adam, late of the British ship Yort George, leaves for England to-mor- row. He wiil be accompanied bv his wife. Captain Morse, late of the Occidental, takes command of the Fort George, Th latter goes unaer the Hawaiian flag, and will load sugar for New York at Honolulu.

There was a big crowd down to see they Sockton steameroff last night. Nearly all the Custom-house brokers ana their clerks were down to see a newly married couple off on their honeymoon. Joseph L.

Telegrams from Adelaide., Australia, state that the British ship Duncan, from Port Gamble, for Port Pirie, Australia, lumber laden, was wrecked and totally lost at Kangaroo Island. Thecrew was saved. The Duncan left here in ballastand loaded lumber at Puget Sound for Australis. She was well known in this port, and her mas- ter was an ol1 trader to this coast. BARLOW DYER VERY ILL. The Pioneer a1d Postofice Official Stricken With Apoplexy. Barlow Dyer, for many years an at- tache of the Custom-house and the Post- office, had a severe siroke of apoplexy yesterday in the Postoffice building. He was removed 1o his residence at 7 Montgomery avenue, where he still Jies in a precarious condition. Mr. Dyer is 76 years of age, and he came from the State of Maine in 1849, For years Mr. Dyer was a_schop!teackier | and 1n 1870 he entered the Custom-house.

Referred to the Will That Is Under Contest in Judge Coffey’s Court. Fifty Years’ Acquaintanc: With His | Venerable Partner’s Handwriting and Affirms Its Genuineness. “I would have paid out any amount of money on that document or on that sig- nature,” declared Alexander Boyd, while testifying in the trial of the Jacob Z Davis will contest. Mr. Boyd held in his hand the will of his late partner, and solemnly declared that he believed it to be a genuine article and the signature thereto to be in the handwriting of Mr. Davis, “I sat in the same office with Jacob Z. Davisfor more thar fifty years, know his handwriting perfectly. That is his signature. He wrote that document.” Such were the positive declarations of Mr. Boyd during his testimony, which oc cupied the en'ire afternoon in Judge Cof- fey’s court. Attorney George Knight, representing the contestants, frequently suggested that Mr. Boyd might be mistaken, but he would not concede the point. After that method of attack had failed Mr. Knig ail Now, Mr. Boyd, bas John M. is talked with you sbout the testimony you have given in this case since you were last onthe witness-stand 2" The witness—Well, we diifer with re- gard as to whether that box containing the ashes of Mrs. Davis was in my office first or in Mr. Curtis’ office. I am right so far as ] am concerned and— Mr. Campbell—We object to this line of questioning. Who is John M. Curtis that he should be constantly dragged into this case? Mr. Heggerty—We expect to prove that John M. Curtis tried to influence this wit- ness in order to have him change his tes timony. Mr. Campbell — You have not shown anything of the kind nor anything like it. 1 would like to know what John M. Cur- tis bas 10 do with this matter anyway. Mr. Heggerty—Mr. Curtis is an impor- tant factor in this case as we all know. Mr. Campbell—He is a witness here to whom youn must give credence as he was produced by you in this trial. Judge Coffey overruled the OL?"C“OII! and Mr. Boyd was allowed to explain that he had never seen the box until it was in John M. Curtis’ office. He volunteered the statement that Curtis told him when he (Curtis) took the box into the cffice of Boyd & Davis the box was under his (Curtis’) coat. That might explain why it had never been seen by Boyd until it was in Curtis’ office. He said the reason it was not openea in the office of Boyd & Davis was that there was no proper place for it, and no proper place for the solder- ing-iron and firepot of the plumber who came to unsolder the ton over the copper can which inclosed Mrs. Davis’ incineratea remains.

Mastick?” “No."” “‘How do you reconcile what he s about finding the will with Mr. Mastick.” Mr. Boyd looked weary. He simply said he did not try to explain anything, or to reconcile anvthing. That was what Mr. Davis said. That was all he knew about the matter. A great portion of the affernoon was taken up with reviewing Mr. Boyd’s testi. mony concerning the opening of Mr. Davis’ personal locker in the Boyd & Davis safe. In that locker was found a key to open the iron strong-box at the Davis residence, in which were deposited the remains of Mre. Davis. In that per- sonal box was also found the so-called wife will, in which Mr. Davic bequeathed all his estats to his wife, wno died before bim. There was also a deed, the purport of waich was to convey to ber all of his property in the event of his death occur- ing before hers. Furiher testimony in the case will be | taken this morning. | THE SOUND OF ALAENM BELLS. | The Department Kept Busy Extinguish- ing Several Small Fires.

His topic was “The Pursuit of Happiness.” itwas asubject that held the attention of the andience. He began by refining the dif- | ferenc: between unhappiness or wmisery and pain. Paio was a physical disturb- ance that need not necessarily banish all | bappiness. Misery, on the contrary, may | be independent of exterual things; it is nursed within. ““The thought comes to me of a man who, more than ali others, has influenced the thought of his time and who did not know what it was to enjoy the health that comes to you and me," said the speaker. | “For thirty years Charles Darwin was afflicted every day with the sea- | sickness that was born of that| |great voyage of his.

When one is hungry he isim- pelled to eat, and the obedience to the im- | pulse brings satisfaction. It is right and | natarai. The impulse of love is uccom- panied by stronger impulses. The Romans | ware so fond of a certain fish that, having eaten all they could of it, they would take an emetic and, throwing oft what was on | the stomach, began to gorge themselves again. The result of this unnatural grati- | fication of this sense led straight to dy | pepsia. Far greater satisfaction fol- lows the satisfa of other impulses. | Some men, for instance, find this in | their counstant attentions to women. I | shall not dwell upon this further than to say that with every natural fmpulse thore is responsibility.

The teaching of one’s nerves to lie | through the absorption of drugs or alco- | hol, or any other stimulant. dd but harm, | Permitting one’s seif the habit of dream- ing was ineffective and led ultimate y to misery.

Attorney W. W. Foote has bim on the cross-exami- nation griddle, and he stanas a good chance to be browned to a turn. Mr. Foote has always had an irresisti- | ble penchant for badgering handwriting experts. He does not believe in them as | a rule, and his theory of the law is that | their evidence—salaried as it invariably | is—is not, or should not be, evidence at | all. His assavlt upon Max Gumpel, the | expert who testified & week or so ago in | tue Fair trial, is remembered as one of | the stirring episodes of the otherwise | slow-going litigation. Gumpel cut rather | a sorry spectacle when Mr. Foote made | bim confess under oath that in addition 10 his fee of $3000 he was to receive $2000 more provided s evidence proued favor- able to the claims of the Fair estate exec- utors—namely, that Mrs. Nettie Craven’s deeds to the Sensome and Mission streets vroperties and the “pencil’’ will were not genwine. Admissions of this kind have rather pronounced effects upon average | juries. Judge Slack beld session yesterday in his old courtroom on the top floor of the | | | isputed deeds were handed to | Ames at the outset of the afterncon ses sion. Between the booming and tumbiing | of beams on the roof Attorney Mitcheil asked the expert for his judgment rezard- ing the writien indorsements on the out. side of these instruments. The noise upstairs was worse than ever now. It seemed as if the roofers had con- spired 1o start Judge Siack and his retinue off on another parade t rough the build- 1 search of a new courtroom. T have made a (boom!) careful studv of these (crack! crack!) documen went on Ames, “and 1 have satisfied (bang, -ack! boom!) myself thac those indorsements were not written by (rap-rap-rap!) the person who (squeak squeak, smash!) who wrote the exem piare.” (Biff! bang!) Judze Slack tipped over his inkwell in his nervousness and pricked his thumb with his pen. He was getting hot, that was obvious, despite the Judge’s reputa- tion for equanimily and cool tempera t. Leauing over his desk he whis- pered to Clerk Casey. It was something emphatic and had reference to those men on the roof. Mr. Casey strode out of the room and a few moments later there was a noticeable falling off in the roof-garden reveiry. True, there continued some ham- | mering and dropping of heavy timbers, | but it had lost most of its fiendish malz: | ciousness. | Ames, continuing, said be considered the | signatures to the deedsto betracings. Re- garding the notarial acknowledgments, he gave 1t as his opinion that both of them were written at different sittings, with two different kinds of ink and with | two different pens. Taen, in conclusion, he said he thought some parts of the acknowledgments were | written In ink over carefully drawn pen- | cil lines, d that the deeds, will and let- | ember 16 were ail executed by the same hand. | “That is the end of the direct examina- | tion,” said Mr. Mitchell. “You can take | the witness, Mr. Foote.” | Mr. Foote opened up his crosstire by asking Ames if he was “dead sure” that acknowledements had over pencil lin hat is my belief,” replied the expert | “But you nave testified here that such | was the case, have younot?" persisted the attorney. **As being my opinion, ves.’’ Mr. Foote handed Ames the Mission- street deed and told him to take another | good look at it and see if he couid see any | pencil lines. | Ames squinted at_the acknowledgment through his magnifier and said he could -ee an erasure waich indicated tnat there must have been pencil marks there. | “*Well, now, just pass that deed over to | the jury.” saiu Mr. Foote. *I want them to see if they can detect any such thing as this exper: cluims he can see.’ The jurors silently took eood, long looks at the document, and then Mr Foote went at the expertagain. In an- swer to his questions Ames denied that he ofticial hand- nad ever sa.d he was writing expert for the Government. He said he was merely employed by the Goy ernment in various cases where disputed bandwriting was the theme. “Who employed yoa in asked Mr. Foote. “Herman Oelrichs,” was the reply. “What were the terms of compensa- tion 2" “Fifty dollars a day while in transit and $100 & day whi.e employed here.” “How much have you been paid “Approximately, $6000.” “Any more due you?”’ Oh, yes.” How much?”’ *“Well, tnat depends upon how long you keep me under cross-examination.” “On, I won’t put over $100 more into your pocket,” was Mr. Foote's sally. Ames became badly rattled aiter hay- ing admitted that he had reached his ouinion as to the dispuled documents by inspecting some of Fair's writings that had not been introduced in evidenc He only escaped by declaring that he did not mean what he had said. | Mr. Foote eased up on the witness for a | spell, and under this armistice Ames te: tified that he had made three trips to San Francisco on behalf of the Fairestate. He generally traveled in the company of Car- valho, the New York expert. He assured Mr. Foote that the $100 a day had no effect upon his opinion as (o the genuineness or spuriousness of the disputed documents. | this case?” 8o far?"’ | | | | | | | [ | He said he would say the documents were | genuiue 1f be thought they were.

Look at our sale and the crowds * attending, then look at the other fel- & lows’, and you'll realize the proof of the 4 old adage, that ‘“Honesty is the best e policy,” and it always pays to be truth- .;: ful and honest. We call your attention to every article we have for saleasbeing marked down to a lower price than any merchant who is in business to stay can afford to sell them to you. We are losing from $300 a day upward every day that “The Maze” keeps its doors open, and just as soon as we have sold the stock down low enough we’ll close them. THAT'’S the truth, and you be- lieve it. Some people are liars, born so, and from the cradle to the grave they continue the same old liars. Buy u out anybody, everybody, and we’ll get out and shut up shop. G o @ POODOOOTSHTOOVTLL MARKET ST., COR. TAYLOR AXD GOLDEV GATE AVE.
