All the preliminary arrangements were completed last evening, and there were several minor changes from the original | programme. | it had been the purpose to have the ceremonies in this City held in the Ma- sonic Temple. Owing, however, to the large number of people who desired to at- tend, it was arranged to have the rites | performed in the First Congregational Church, at the corner of Post and Mason streets. The local ceremonies will be under the auspices of California Lodge No. 1, F. and 1 A. M.

From ail the more important down- town buildings the flags were yesterday placed at half-mast. On the railroad building, at the corner of Montgomery and Market streets, the flag will be kept at half-mast to-day, and mourning drapery will be hung at the entrance to the build- ing. There will be a number of very handsome floral tributes from the railroad men, and the manifesiations of sorrow and respect hat will assume this shape will probably make up one of the hand- | somest floral displays ever seen in San ¥rancisco.

SAN MATEQ, Car, July 19.—All the arrangements for the funeral of the late C. F. Crocker are practically completed. Rev. Robert Mackenzie, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, arrived in San Franeisco from the Bust this evening. At Sacramento, Division Superintendent ‘Wright vlaced certain messages in the hands of the pastor, informing him of the wishes of the family concerning the pri- vate funeral at Uplands to-morrow. The pastor will come here Lo-morrow on the train leaving San Francisco at 9 A. M. The special train from San Francisco to- funeral car, the private car of the late Colonel Crocker, reserved for the exclusive use of the family, and three passenger the family and some of the late Colonel Crocker’s close personal friends. No in- vitation for the private funeral bas been sent out, but to several it has been signi- fied that they are ¢xpectced to be present, or at least that the rule establishing the private ceremony does not exclude those who stood in a very close relation of per- sonal friendship toward Colonel Crocker. Many who apprehend that the rule per- taining to simple ceremonies might be transgressed by their attendance have sought to give expression of their sym- pathy and a manifestation of their esteem by sending floral tokens. Flowers wrought into wreaths and beautiful embiems have come to Uplands in great profusion. The florists of San Francisco have produced designs of wonderful beauty. The 5:30 train this evening brought 1wo wagon- loads of floral offerings. Several elabo- rate and appropriate pieces came on the train one hour later. The conservatories in this garden spot of California have been taxed to supply the choicest flowers. The floral offering at Uplands, so ampie and magnificent, is only an index of the greater offerings to come at the cere- monies in San Francisco to-morrow after- noor. The remains of the late Colonel Crocker rest in & beautiful casket in the blue and gold parlor of the Uplands mansion. Around the casket the floral tributes are placed. Mary, the eldest daughter, will go with the family to San Francisco. The services at Uplands will notexceed a half hour in lengtn. Doctor Mackenzie will say a few words and the members of the family will sing two hymns, e CROCKER’S SUCCESSOR. Speculation Already Rife on the Subject—General Hubbard Is Mentioned. By far the mostimportant position that Charles F. Crocker held at the time of his Southern Pacific Company. As such he was the chief local executive oflicer of the corporation, and upon him devolved many and great responsibilities. No man was better posted than he on all tae details of operation and construction of the various lines embraced in the Central Pacific Company. Sveculation among railroad men is al- ready rife as to who will be selected to fill this high and onerous place. It is not be- lieved that either of the two brothers of the deceased will be chosen. Will H. Crocker is said to have his time and en- ergy fully occupied with his banking in- terests, and it is known that George rocker is averse to living away from New York. It would not be politic, so it is said, to make H. E. Huntington the suc- cessor of the deceased. Such acuion would savor too much of nepotism, for this would be placing uncle and nephew in the two most influential offices of the cor- poration. It is generaily acknowledged that Gen- eral Thomas H. Hubbard, who was the choice of Mrs. Stanford for president at the last two slections of the corporation, is the man for the place. He has the con- tidence and good will of all the interests concerned, and is a man of large a and of much more than usual abilities. | Another circumstance in his favor is that he is in the line of advancement to the position, being the second vice-president. The selection of Mr. Crocker’s successor will not be a formal matter for the board of directors to act upon. It will be a sub- ject of deep and earnest deliberation on the part of the representatives of the four great interests which control the great corporation—those of the Searles estate, the Crocker estate, the Huntington inter- es(s and the interests of Mrs. Jane Stan- ford. There are a number of *“‘dummies’’ in Lhe directorate, and these will have no actual voice in the decisicn of the great question; for it is a great question, as on the selection of the man who is to act as the chief executive oi the company on popularity and prosperity of the raiiroads operated bv it. 5 The Valley road is daily becoming a more and more powerfnl competitor of the Southern Pacific Company, and the man | who will have to deal with the new situa- tion of genuine competition will need to be one of unusual parts. As Will H. Crocker is already on the directorate, it is understood that George Crocker will take the place of his deceased brother as a member of the board of di- rectors of tne Southern Pacific Company. At the railroad offices yesterday every one about the building showed by his de- meanor that he felt he had sustained an individual loss in the taking off of Colonel Crocker. Traffic Manager J. C. Stubbs was particularly affectea by the sad event. “Despite the fact that confining illness preceded the death of Mr. Crocker,” he said, ‘it came to most of us as it might have done had he died from the result of an accident. It came as a sudden blow to those who were daily brought into per- g ‘With the excep- tion of a few, no one about she building knew that his health was seriously im- paired. *‘His demise would cause general sym- pathy, under the circumstances, nomatter what position in life he might bave heid. He had just that age when he was be- gioning to enjoy the fruits of his earlier years of labor. His mind had become matured and e had great possibilities be- fore him. His children have reached that age when a father’s counsel is particularly valuable, and to him they were a source of intense pride and pleasurable solici- tude. Death came just when he had the most to live for and when he was most necessary and valuable to those with whom he was most intimately associated. ‘“‘Above all things he was a just man. No one ever went to him with a jnst cauge but was certain to secure his dues. He always endeayored to rise abova small prejudices, and that_he succeeded admir- ably in this respecs is shown by the large number of personal friends that he mede among all classes of people. While ul- ways dignified he was ever approachable and courteous to all. No one ever had a :ord of adverse criticism to say against m."” It is understood that the will of Mr. Crocker is locked up in the vaults of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank. It will not be opened uniil after the funeral, Tore His Finger Of. Harry Spencer, a boy, employed in & book- l?lndmz establishment at Washington and Sansome streets had the third finger of his left hand torn off yesterday afternoon ine peculiar manner. He was jumping off & fruit wagon and a ring that he wore on his finger got caughtin an iron clasp. The full weight of his body was thrown upon the fluger and it was torn off at the second joint, He picked the torn piece up, wrapped it in his handker- chief aud went to his home, 1023 Clay street, His mother took him to the Receiyiug Hos- pital, where the wound was d * —————— ressed. WILL GOME 00T OF THE SKY Natives of the North! Warned of a Strange Visitor. Shown Pictures of Professor Andree’s Balloon and Told of His Coming, It Is Hoped They Will Not Be Afraid and Will-Greet the Explorer Kindly. Now that Ancree has started on his yper- ilous trip over the frozen north, scientific men are doing all they can to aid him by warning the natives and teaching them that the big balloon will not hurt them. The local Geographical Society of the Pacific is in communication with many points in the far north where watch is more difficult to get back. The plan pro- posed by Protessor Wise and myself was 10 go by® balloon, but to carry a tele- graphic cable and establish = stations, stock them with provisions, leave men in charge and work on by stages to the pole by balloon. “‘This plan was fayorably received by Senator Stanford, and he was inclined to undertake the expense of such an expedi- tion when he got into politics, and that absorbed all nis energies.” ONLY THE SITE REMAINS. Mrs. A. Wiison Threatens to Bring Suit Against the Nob Hill Development Company et AL Mrs. Amanda L. Wilson threatens to bring suit against the Nob Hill Develop- | ment Company for the recovery of $25,000, ! which represents her investment in that company, which at one time set the town agog with its threat to build the very finest hotel. The reason is that the site of the hotel in which she had invested through the purchase of bonds has passed into the hands of the Mutual Savings Bank through the foreclosure of a $40,000 mort gage held by the bank. o ‘The proposed site was the vacant lot at the corner of California and Jones streets. Bonds were issued to the amount of $300,- 000, a number of which were distributed to creditors as first mertgage bonds, guaran- teed assuch by the Union Trust Com- pany. 5 There were only thirty-five of these $1000 bonds issued, and Mrs. Wilson took twenty-five of them, representingan in- vestment of §25,000, consisting of a grain ranch in Sutter County, grain and farm- ing implements.

The society has great hopes that the pold voy- ager will land on American soil after a successiul journey. The Swedish Govern- ment sent pictures of the balloon to the Geographical Society with the request that they be distributed among the natives of the frozen countries, with an explanation of the use of the balloon, and telling wnom it carries and why they are exploring the air. * These pictures have been well distri- buted over the Alaskan and Siberian coasts of the Bering Sea and Arctic waters. All the revenue cutlers and whalers have been supplied with them and wherever they go the pictures of the balloon are spread broadcast. Professor Davidson has sent to Professor Andree a list of the native settlements on both shore-, with their latitude and longitude. This is expected to prove of great value to the travelers in deciding where to land. Everything possible has been doneto assist the explorers and to secure early and definite information of them, but it is expected several months will elapse before any news of the expedition will be re- ceived. It is also possible, however, that a favorable wind will carry the balloon over the pole and back to civilization in a week. On the bacx of the sheet of paper bear- ing the picture of the balloon are the fol- lowing instructions: In the summer of 1897 a balloon (an objeet like that shown on the drawing) may be scen floating in the air. This ballcon will convey & party of three Swedish scientists, who have been making explorations toward the north pole by these means. The Government of Sweden and Norwsy has requested that the explorers may receive all possibie assistance. Natives should therefore be told that the bal- | loon is not a dangerous thing, but merely a | mode of conveyance in the air just as a snip is in the water. Natives shoula be told to approach the peo- vle in it without fear and to give them all the he!p in their povrer. Ii the balloon is seen only, the natives should be told to communicate the day and hour, the direction and time it was visible, and the direction of the wind, 1: the prople arrive, having lost the balloon, the uatives to be told to give tnem all possi- ble assistance. It is requested that the travelers may be supplied with passport and all official docu- ts, the names being, Salomon August An- e, aged 43; Nils Strindberg, aged 45; Knut Hja!mar Ferdinand Frienkel, aged 27; or one of those replaced by Gustaf Wilhelm Eman- uel svedenborg, aged 28. g ANDREE’S IDEA NOT NEW. Senator Stanford Belleved the Pole Could Be Reached by a Balioon. OAKLAND, CAL, July 19.—M. 8. Ayers of this city believes that Herr Andree will be able to reach the north pole by means of nis balloon, and says that he (Ayers) and Professor Wise decided upon that plan twenty years ago. Ayers was a companion of Wise, and the two fre- quently made ascensions together. Wise was the aeronaut who made the celebrated ascent from Chicago in 1879, and was never heard of afterward. Wise wanted Ayers to go up with him on that last trip, but Ayers has been glad ever since that he did not. He firmly be- livves that Wise was carried to the north pole by the prevailing upper currents o | air that from long study and observation e is confident prevail there. Based on these conclusions, Mr. Ayers has a theory as to F¥ire in a Hotel. An alarm was soupded from box 45 at 6:30 o'clock last cvening, for a fire caused by a defective fiue in the garret of th, Niel Hotel, 404 Ellis street. Thegmd-:'::’:: the formation of cyclones, which has been widely published in the Eastern papers. “If Andree goes high enough,’’ said Mr. Ayers to-day, ‘‘he is certain to reach the vole if he can live 1n the rare air. The curreni will take bim there. I will be | first mortgage bonds covered up an in- debtedness wunich was only made known with the foreclosure. On these grounds Mrs. Wilson, through her attorney, R. E. Ragland, intends to bring suit. HEATHCOTE WAS CRUEL The Unfortunate Marriage of a Prominent Society Woman Ten Years Ago. The Wife at Last Sues for Divorce. Abuse and Personal Violence COharged. Mrs. Anna K. Heathcote (nee Kittle) has sued for a divorce from her husband, Basil Heathcote, on the ground of extreme cruelty. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Heathcote in June, 1887, was a sociely event, the bride being a member of the well-known Kittle family. Mr. Heathcote was con- sidered a great catch, as he was accepted s here as the family. Mrs. Heathcote’s accusations are very direct, and she avers that she has wit- nesses to establish everything she charges. She says that in June, 1895, while they were at a hotel in San Rafael he returned to their room late at night and walked about talking in a boisterous manner, abusing her in loud tones, his oppro- brious epithets being heard by the persons who were in adjoining rooms. In the same month she says he kicked her vio- lently, causing her to fall headlong to the ground. This assault was witnessed by several of their friends. Subsequently in this City, she continues, he knocked her agains<t a chair, paintully injuring her. On many occasions he ap- plied vile epithets to her, all of which she dechined to endure, even from ‘“‘an Eng- lish gentleman of undoubted family and social position.”’ On August 1, 1895, Mrs. Heathcote de- cided that her life would be endangerea if she lived longer with her nhusband, so she left him, and at last has employed Attorneys W. W. Foote and Page, Mc- Cutchen & Eells to press her suit for a divorce. ion of a prominent English CALIFORNIA'S WARM WELCONE Citizens Invite President McKinley to Visit This State. He Should Survey This Empire and Annex Hawaii, They Said. Commercial and Labor Organizations of Each County Requested to Join. California Hall, on Bush sireet, was crowded last night with patriotic Califor- nians who wished to extend to President McKinley an invitation to visit this State. E. M. Galvin called the meeting to order and A. de Ia Torre Jr. performed the functions of secretary. A note was read from Peter J. Shields, private secretary of Governor Budd, an- nouncing that the Governor was out of town when the invitation to address the meeting was received, and that therefore the Governor would be unable to be present. The following list of vice-presidents was read: 1. J. Truman, George K. Fitch, C. F. Curry George E. Morse, William S. Barnmes, J. D Spreckels, E. F. Bert, E. C. Paimiery, C. S. Lau- meister, Charies Manwaring, F. L. Brown, Charles Alpers,A. M. Ebbetts, John Lackmann, A. Rojo, A. Ruef, F. E. Mascherini, Max Pop- per, E. B. Pond, John D. Seibe, T. C. Masteller, Charlés W. Kyle, T. B. Morton, T. F. . Sullivan, P. B. Cornwall, David Kerr, E Mayor Phelan, on being introduced as presiding officer of the meeting, made a brief speech. He understood that an in- vitation had been already extended to President McKinley to visit California and all that they had to do was to co- operata with the committee on invitation, and by public meetings of citizens, Boards of Trade and other commercial organiza- tions express to President McKinley their eager desire to have him visit thig State and to receive the hospitality of thd State. *We want him to have a Celifornian welcome,” econtinued the Mayor. “Iam sure that all people are willing to co operate in the good work. It would be a great honor to San Krancisco to entertain the President of the United States. Only on two other occasions in the forty-seven years that the State has been a member of the Union has California entertained a President during his term of office, and those occasions were the visits of Presi- dent Hayes and President Harrison.” The State would be honored by a visit from President McKinley, the Mayor con- tinued, and the President himself would be benefited in so far as it wonld give him an opportunity of viewing the extent of the territory over which he presides. It was perhaps unfortunate that the outlying territories were not in such close touch as they might be with the rest of the Union. I\fnny years ago the objection was made that Washington would not be a central point very long, but steam ana eleciricity have since then annihilated distance and have placed the remotest parts of the Na- tion in contact. The Mayor spoke of the annexation of Hawaii as a question in which the people of California were deeply interested. It was, therefore, fitting that the President and the members of Congress should visit this State in order that they might inform themselves as to the sentiment of the peo- ple of the Pacific Coast. Henry L. Kowalsky was introduced as the next speaker. He announced himself as approving of the action of the commi tee. No citizen of this State regards Cal fornia more kindly than does the Presi- dent of the United States. President Mc- Kinley had two brothers who lived here in business for many years and earned the respect of the citizens at large. The President visited this coast some vears ago with his niece escorting her home | from school and resided here several months 1n the residence of his uncle, B. F. McKinley. The President has shown | his interest in California by giving 1t the tirst Cabinet position that it ever nad the honer of filling and giving it to an hon- ored citizen, Hon. Joseph McKenna, “We are not speaking as Republicans, but as Californians,” continued the colonel, “and we know that the same wel- come as was given to Hon. Wilham J. Bryan will be given to President Mc- Kinley. We will give him the same wel- come as we gave to Hayes and Harrison, not because he is what he is personaily, but because he is President of the United States. We admire his manhood and the ladies will give to him who is known as the most correct and affectionate of hus- bands a hearty welcome and you will also give the same welcome to his wife.” Colonel T.V. Eddy followed and ex- pressed his decp interest in the matter. In this country to-day all roads leau to Washington, and ali roads that amount to anything lead from Washington to San Francisco. There are many great reasons why we should invite the President to vigit this State and why he should accept. ‘We have great questions on this coast which should engage the attention not only of the President but of Congress. The question of annexing the Hawaiian Islands was one of the greaiest questions that have confronted us for many years. San Francisco as the metropolis of the dent should learn those things. The members of Congress also could learn more by coming here than they could from all the representatives that could be sent to Washington. If the President were to come to San Francisco and talx with the Mayor, the merchants and the bankers he could see the great good that annexation would do to California. “We should have no hesitation to ex- tend him an invitation to prolong his tour from the Yellowstone Park to San Fran- cisco.” On motion of William MecIntyre the suggestion was adopted by a unanimous vote. A note of regret from W. H. L. Barnes was read to the effect that a prior engage - ment prevented his aitendance. He added: “I hope your committee will accom DENTAL TEETH W s alarge period I .

He added that there was ‘nlprge\’ contingent of the Grand Army in Califor- nia, and it would add to the weight of the ! invitation if the Grand Army would also i ¢ join in the 1equest, because greudent‘ e McKinley was an old soldier.
