A briet which will be filed in the United States Circuit Court to-day will reveal the fact that the Biythe estats is not yet out of the wilderness of litigation in which it has been wandering so many years, though it reached a clearing some time ago when the State Supreme Court rendered its final decision in favor of Florence Blythe- Hinckley, and the distribution was al- by Suic'de Norton. _ouis Loupe $300 for me. f is that | am a defaulter in a large All the money was IK in lead pencil ard was very short.

Nothing new was developed yesterday in the matter of the cashier's shoriage. | Collector Welburn and the special agent of the treasury were bu-y the whole of the day behind closed doors examining the accounts and counting stamps. Tney | said they had nothing to give out and that the total amount of the shortsge would not be known untii after tie con- | clusion of the investigation. It is, how- | ever, believed the deficieacy will aggregate $40,000. | Collector Welburn has sent for the | books at all the offices within his juris- diction, which is & very large one, extend- | ing from S:ockton to Yuma in Arizona, | | and embracing the cities of Stockton, San | Jose, Fresno, Oakiand, San Francisco, Los | Angeles and San Diego. | Collector Welburn said yesterday that since he took charge of the office the busi- ness has increased three-quarters of a | miliion doliars, while the appropriation | for the department had been cutdown | §2500 and the force had been decreased by | one man, All the work in connection with the income-tax law, since repealed, | nad been done during his administration, | | and the clerks have been oblized to mnot | only work over time, but on Sundays as | 1 have worked myself as a clerk for the | past two vears,” he added. He had no suspicion that anything was wrong, because the treasury agenis en- | crusted with the duty of exsmining into the accounts and management of the | | office had reported to him that everything | was all right. | | Ferdinand H.

Annette Schwab has sued Adem Karl and nis wife Syivia for §2000 and the recovery of real estate on Twenty-first street, near Treat avenue. She says she transferred her property 10 the defendants on the promise that she was to have board and l.dging and $35a month during her natural life. Complaning that they have falled to keep their contractshe aski to have her property back egain, | of "the State Supreme Court. lowed to proceed. It was the general supposition that when the United Btates Suvreme OCourt last month dismis<ed ths writ of error filed by the persistent Keutucky Blythes the ba tle in the Federal courts had been endea aimost at its beginning, but E. Burke Ho liday says that, peculiar as it may seem, it | was a fine thing for his case that the Su- preme Court threw out the writ without ceremony. The Federal court battle has but just fairly begun. Fiorence and her attorneys may easily win in the end, but the batile remains to be fought, and it will be a long drawn out and somewhat harassing one. Possession of the $1,000,000 worth of prop- erty which is beiug divided among the beir and the lawyers is a big advantage, but the Kentucky Blythes are fighting on and even expect to reach the appointment | of a receiver som - of these days. Into 1his Federal court battle has re- centiy come the man wno handled Presi- dent McKinley’s contest for his first seat in Congress. This is Jeff Chandler, who has acquirad a National reputation at the bar and in the cause of Democra The award of the State courts is being fought on the ground that an alien might not inberit the estate. The question was not formally brought up in the State courts, but two sections of the code deal- ing with aliens entered into the decision It is now sought to overihrow the decision of the State court on constitutional grounds, and the question is purely one of law. If a decision be rendered that Florence | Blythe, being an alien, could not legelly inherit the estate, the *‘nextof kin” would have the field. The Circuit Court case will reach an issue before a great while, and, though the Blythe estate collects rents and pos- sesses title, the lawyers will have to fight for two or three years yet in seli-prote tion. The brie! that will be filed to-day coricerns only one of the mass of motions | in the case. AGAINST PENOIL FAKERS Acting Mayor Rottanzi Calls the Atten- tion of the Chief of Police to Them. Acting Mayor Rottanzi addressed a let- ter to Chief of Police Lees yesterday on the subject of the pencil fakers who infest the City. He cailed attention to the law against begeing on public thoroughfares, and stated that lthe fakers simply made a bunch of pencils an excuse 10 intrade on pedestrians and the occupants of offices, 1o their great inconvenience and the dis- comfort of the public. He asked that the | 1aw be strictly eniorced. .- Kepublicans Indorsed.

Several years ago Green was master | of one of the whalers that wintered in the | Arctic. He did fairly well, and when | the vesse! was paid off he had afew thousand dollars coming to him. Shortly fterward he became acquaintea with a Scandinavian diver who knew the south- | ern seas. ‘lhe latter told stories of pold that had escaped from Spanish treasure- ships snd had become entwined in the coral reefs. Samples of the coral were shown, and Captuin Green became infat- | uated with the idea. A gold mine read. 10 work was open to him, and tens of thousands of dollars were ready for the bkarvesting. Captain Green the bark Marion for a $3000 and nearly $1500 was | spent in fitung her out. The diver re- | mained in seciusion and lived on the fat of the land. Latterly he has grown surly and now demands a vig cash bonus before in the Solomon group.

The genial purveyor of licenses was still more surprised when Frederickson ushered in the prospective bride and announced her age as &3 years. Frederickson was extremely reticent re- the his flancee and himself, merely stating that they wers working people who had labored together for many years past and had concluded that it would be easier to 20 the journey of life togeiner than single.

Many Eveats in Which th: Soldiers Showed What They Are Able to Do. The Games and Mii'ary Numbers Watche! by an Auiience of About 3000 £p:ctators. Several hundred persons watched the soldiers at the Presidio yesterday morn- ing play basetall, and in the afternoon about 3000 watched the soldiers who took part in the long programme of events, athletic and military. During the morning there wore three rcames of basebail, which were limited to fifty minutes each. The first was between Troop B and Company F, which was marked by the excellent playing of Noyes of the infantry, who proved a most admirable catcher, and by some good fielding and base-running. When time was called the game stood, infantry 6 and cavalry 7. Then Troop land Battery K went ‘to ihe bat, and the game 1. The two winners then plaved a final, und that resulted 1n a score of 14 for Troop Iand 4 for the infantry. The victorious players were heartily cheered by the men of the post, Who were divided &s to the merits of the baseballists at the start, but at the close they united in giving applause to the winners. In the afternoon the crowd com menced | to assemble at 1 o’clock. Tbe bleachers were filled and thers were many on the prettily decorated grand stand and many more outside the ropes. The games were conducted under the direction of the following named: mittee—Lieutenant J. H. Neall, valry; Lieutenant J. D. Barrette, Artillery; Lieutenant L. S.

Bayd, Fourth Cavalry, Scorer—Private Bro Troop B, Fourtn Cavalry. The men entered into the contests with a great deal of spirit, and many of tae events were warmly appauded by the spectators. The most exciting event was the novelty race, in which mounted men carried an ege in a spoon, lit a cigar while mounted, carrted an oven umbrella, and finally reached the finish carrying a glass of water. In this Comeaux of Battery F rode a horse that became fractious and three times reared, and finally caused his rider to lose his balance and come to the ground. The plucky fellow picked him- self up unnurt, ook up his glass of water and started for the finishing line, and when within a few yards of it his saddle turned, the horse reared again and he lost the glass, Tne boxing contest was also an exciting one, particularly the contest beiween Pe. | ters of the infantry and Robertsan of the cavalry.

MAREA MARSHALL WILL, Sensatiopal Charges in a Docu- ment Filed in the County Clerk’s O fice Mrs. Josephin: R gers Accused of Ob- tain ng Money by Procuring False Impersonation of the Testator. Mrs. Josephine Rogers had an unpleas- | ant surprise yesterday when John Manley filed with Deputy County Clerk Northrup a paper purporting to be “the will of the late Mrs. Marea Marshail.' Mrs. Marshall died on the 12th of last March of injuries received in a Gea street car accident. She left property at 421 Powell street, and money in bank, of the approximate value of $10,000. Letters of administration were granied to her niece, Mrs. Rogers of 404 Tehama street, who represented in her petition that the deceased left no will. Under the letters of administration so granted, steps toward the settlement of the estate have been taken and allowances for expenses have been made from time to time by order of conrt. Thue will is holographic and almost im- possible to decipher. [t baars date Ocio- ber 17, 1892. After the usual prelimina- ries, the testator bequeaths her property in San Francisco and her money in the Hibernia Bank to Manley in trust, mak- ing exception of the money withdrawn from bank by her niece, who is alleged to have emploved an old French woman to personate the testatrix. To a sister Loisa of tbe tesiatrix, a house and lot in Naruu, France, and certain sums now on deposit in the Bank of France are be- .queathed. As trustee of the estate in San Fran- cisco Manley is directed to retain the property intact until Clair Rogers, the daughter of the niece named, becomes of aze and then to divide it between them. She added that sne would not leave Mrs. Rogers anything if she were not afraid her niece would break tbe will. Manley is made sole executor of the will without bonds. OHUN WOON SING'S ALIBL Chun Go Swears for the Defense in the “*Little Pete’" Case. The trial of Chun Woon Sing, charged with the murder of ‘‘Little Pete," still oc- cupies the attention of Judge Carroll Cook and a jury. On Tuesday Chun Go swore to a story of facts that, if established, will prove an alibi for the defendant. Chun Go said that Chun Woon Sing was in the room on ‘Waverly place, where he was arrested, at 8:30 o’clock, and tkat he did not leave the room after that time until the officers jcame in and arrested him.
