BOTH FAMILES WERE IGNORANT Neither Knew That Mars-| ton Had Married on | Two Coasts. 1 | | Ihe Western Widow Declares | She Is Prepared to Prove | Her Marriage, All Parties to the Suit for the Entate‘ Are Anxious to Avoid Exposing | the Skeleton, OAKLAND OFFICE 84 908 Broadway, Au It is very certain that the sensational suit for the money of the Marston estate | by the widow and son from the East will | never be tried. All hands to the contro- | versy have shown a desire to settle mat- | ters amicably and quietly, and it is un- likely that they wi!l go into the courts. It now appears that the Western widow and daughter were as ignorant during the | last quarter of a century of Marston’sdual | life as was his Eastern family. There an air of mystery over the whole affair, but both families are prepared to make sacrifices rather than sensational dis- | closures, The papers were served on the Califor- nians Monday night by a clerk, who_was accompanied by F. E. Marston, the Eust- ern son of the deceased. “To say that the Goodwin woman was surprised when we scquainted har witn the object of our visit,”” said F. E. Mar:ton, “‘would be to express it mild What her object was in moving so secretly from r late dence I cannot say, but it is | certain from her manner that she never anticipated any action such as I have taken. Iimagine everything will be set- tled amicably and without litigation. I have been w ng bard on this matter, | 4 I understand that my father left real | estate in virious parts of the State, but I | nope to get everything straightened out | n the course of a week or 8o and leave for | me.” Judge Charles N. Fox declines to give | the woman's address. ‘“‘She called on | me,” he said, “and asked me the nature | of the proceedings. She said she &new | me, but I do not remembar her. 1 would | not divalge her address on account of her | daughter who, she told me, is dangerously | ill at this moment. She appeared to me | to be a good and gentle woman, but whether there is a history to be developed | or not I cannot say. “Bhe told me she could readily prove | her marriage to Marston, and she seemed heart-broken that any doubt had been en- tlertained as to the performance of such a ceremony. She said she wouid go into courton the 13 h and make a showing then. She was more teariul than resent- 1ul and seemed to be greatly shocked at the position ber daughter has been placed | n. Weare simply going ahead to seek a | decision.” | is believed that M Marston, or | 1t Goodwin, was told by Marston that he had | been legally divorced, and that a marriage ceremony performed. This, of course, would place the dead man in the light of | a bigamist. | Miss Marston, or Goodwin, is now 20 yearsoi age, and is said to be a very hand- | some young woman LADUE'S IUNERAL.

As Elopement. ALAMEDA, Aug. 11.—The fact has just come to light that Lottie Folirath and Henry Smith were privately married some six months ago in San Francisco. The parents of the bride opposed the maich, but as the girl was 19 and the man 22 they concluded to get married anyhow, and so went to the City and were made man and wife, had occurred until a day or two ago, when BMrs. Smith confessed to her mamuma that she too was a married woman.

Both of the clubs held meetings last night and both brouzht up the water question for discussion. The water commitiee of the clubat the North End was instructed to look into the artesian water supply proposition as | set forth by A. A. Richardson. The South End Club listened to a lengthy commaunication from the Contra Costa Company in reply to_their protest against the service, in which the company explained the causes of the poor supply.

FRATERNAL DEPARTMENT, Loyal Circle of the Companious of the Forest Had a Pleasant Time on Monday Night. The members of Loyal Circle of the Com- panious of the Forest are fast acquiring a reputation for being the best entertainers of the order. They have & knack of making tneir open meetings most entertaining, and py reason of that there 18 always a large at- tendance that finds the circicroom & most pleas- ant one in which to pass an evening, which | always enas with a dance. The programmes presented are alwuys varied, and the com- mittee never neglecis to offer something that is always sure to please. The open meeting last Monday night was well attended, and the committee on entertainment, consisting of E. Corwin, Mrs. F. N. Morrow, Mrs. A. L. Pritchard, Mrs. M. Latge, Mrs. rs. Sadie Foster and G. W. Cor- ed & programme tnat was called C. E. Campbell was arrested and charged with forgery at the instance of a man | who had paid $10 on a check to which | Campbell had forged Miles’ name. Proba- | bly no crime was ever brought to light by | a more circuitous route. A man named Dean was recently con- | verted at a Volunteer hall. After his con- version he made a confession that he was going under an assumed name, because | he had Leen biacklisted by the railroad for compl city in the last bigstrike. He gave out that his name was not Dean, but| Campbell. A couple of weeks ago a friend of Miles received a note nurporting to be signed by him asking for$10. Inquiry de- veloped the fact that it was a forgery. Campbell, after his conversion, resolved that he would atone for his many crimes, was then arrested and taken across the bay to the San Franeisco jail. Some time ago Rev. Kenneth Duncan, | Captain Miles and Campbell, alias Dean, were all acouaintances in the work of soul- | saving, and had it not been for this Camp- | bell would never have committed forgery, | and had he not been uitimately converted | his crime might never have been known. | About a month ago the attractive secre- tary of the corps, Miss L. L. Wirt, fell in love with and married Captain Patterson, who was in charge of the po-t. After the wedding they went to Tacoma, and since | arably crippled, and for several nights the Volunteers have not been on the street, al- though it is stated they still have quar- | ters in this city. All these circumstances taken together have proved rather detri- mental to the spiritual work of the Volun- | teers. AN APPRENTIOE DROWNED. William Stacey of the Ship Yarana Fell From a Scaffold. | OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 1L.—Up to this evening the body of William Stacey had not been recovered from the estuary. | SBtacey was an apprentice who fell over- | board last Monday, and it is believed he | has been crushed in the mud beneath | the hull of the Yarana, the ship from | which he tell, | Last Monday the crew was put to work [ to paint the vessel’s hull. e staging was | riggad at the stern and a guyrope was at- | tached to diaw the staging close under | the stern. | While five of the crew were at work | Monday afternoon the guyrope broke, the staging swung out and the five were thrown into the water of the estuary. Four of them swam around till a boat could be lowered and they were picked up, but Stacey never rose. All day yes- | terday and to-day the estuary has been | dragged, but no trace of the missing body | has been found. The theory is that Stacey struck his head ir. falling and was drawn under the vessel. \hen tue tide | went out the vessel settled into the mud, | driving the body down with it. If such | is the case it may be some time before it is recovered. Stacey was a native of Dub- lin and shipped from Liverpool. The death has not been reported to the Coroner. Attacks Its Standing.

Prosperity Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen had another interesting meeting last Tuesday night,on which occa- sion nine candidates were initiated. The large number of members and visitors present show that an unususl interest is being taken in this | lodge, aud it is being encournged in its efforts | to advance.

One Large Sale of Kearny- Street Property Made During the Week. Building Brisker—The Tax Levy—Re- view of the Records, Auctions and Notes. Whether realty prices are at their lowest point or not there can be no doubt of cne thing—present prices justify any one who ever intends investing in property to do sonow. That capital puts firm trustin the future of San Francisco real estate is demonstrated by the fact that whenever a choice piece of land is offered at a bargain a buyer can always be found. Very little business has been done dur- ing the past week so far as sales cut any figure, but inquiries in regard both to City residence property and land in the coun- try have been sufficient to justify the ex- pectations of dealers that not many days will elapse until a brisk business breeze sweeps over the field. So far as money is concerned Thomas | he mentioned in his 8an Francisco Real Estate Circular for July thatthe savings banks have more on hand than they can lend. For over two years the Hibernia Bank has been loaning at the rate of 6}¢ per cent. Other banks are now comiuy into the arena, most of which formerly demanded a 7 per cent rate, and not long ago the Mutual Bavings Bank made a re- auction to 6}4 per cent. What keeps the rest irom so doingis ihe uncertainty of the tax levy for eacu year. In fact that tax Jevy is the bete noir of both banks and dealers in real estate. Anyihing like a $2 levy on each $100 of taxable property 1s going to injure the prospects of borrowersin securing loans at a low rate of interest. Dealers in general vie with property- owners in their hopes that the Supervisors will endeavor to keep the levy down. Then, with the tariff issue seitied and the Klondike pouring its stream of gold into the lap of the State, the commercial hori- zon will a-sume a cheerful glow. The record of buildit g operations for the last month is enccurag.ng and shows a better total than any July month since the year 1891. Although building is un- usualiy dull during the summer months, and the price of building materials is ad- vancing, this fact remains true ana is good cause for congratulation to property- holders. During the week six cottages were started at Sunnyside alone. Five of them will cost $1:00 each. The owners are H. H. Easter, F. Z. Ancle, J. D. Moreland, W. A. Hicks and E, T. P casso. The sixth cottage is for Mrs. L. J. Woods, and will cost $2000. The principal sale of the week, how- ever, was that of the property on Kearny street, near P st, occupled by Frank Mas- key, the candy manufacturer. Negotia- tions have been going on for its purchase for several weeks. The price paid was $95,000 and the sale was made through A. J. Rich & Co. This was apout $475 per front foot. The property is situated on the east line of Kearny street, fifty-five feet south of Post. it has a frontage of 20 feet and a depth of 100. The building on the property, a four-story bay-wincow front structure, rznts for $625 a month. Mas- key’s lease will not expire for about four years. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS.
