Only a couple of vessels are outfitting for the latter place, while twheat.laden steamers cannot procure dockroom. Yes- terday at the seawall alone there were the City of Puebla with 40,000 sacks from Port Harford, the State of California with 13,000 sacks from Oregon, and the Coos Bey with 391 tons, the Alex Duncan, 366 tons, the Gipsy, 150 tons and the Aleazar, 270 tons, all from southern poris. Keep- ing them company were eight scow- schooners anxiously awaiting a vhance to get some of the grain as freighy for Port Costa. The rush o! wheat is so grest that the | Harbor Commissioners have been com- | pelled to clear Lombard-street wharf, and | when the next grain-lagen vessel arrives | she will be docked there. | | In connection with the great rush of business the following letier has been sent to the Harbor Commissioners by Goodall, Perkins & Co.

There was a great deal of excitement on the ferry steamer Bay City suortly after stie lelt the wharf last Thursday night on the 8:50 o’clock trip, and when off Goat | Island a well-dressed man about 45 years | of age jumped overboard from the lower | deck. He was in plain view for a few minutes and then suddenly disappeared. A boat was lowered and for a quarter of | an hour cruised around where tue man was list seen, but not a trace of him could be found. Captain L:aie says that he took particular notice of the man as he walked down the gangplauk, and to him he appeared to be a well-to-do merchant. “I¢ was only a few minates after the cry of man overboard came,’” said Captain Leale, “beforé the vessel’s headway had been storped and we were backing toward the scena of the disaster. A boat was | lowered and a thorough search muade, but no sign of the suicide could be found. From what I could see, however, he ap- peared to be a man in weli-to-do circum- siacces, was well dressed 1n a dark brown | suit and wore a Derby hat in the latest | style. He was clean shaven and had an | iron-gray mustzcae. Al in all, I would | | take him 1o be the last man who would | atiempt suicide.” Andrew Larsen took an involuntary | bath from section A of the seawal He had been having a good time the previously, and nad wandered dow | the water ironi to enjoy the sea breeze, He sat down on one of the stringers, and a few minutes later was sound asleep.

There were sev- | enteen carioads of machinery tor the Oahu sugar plantation and an immense guan- tity ot general merchandise. There were also six thorouglibred bloodhounds con- signed to James A. Low, head jailer for the Hawaiian Government.

There was also a delegation of the Sal- vation Army on board. They are to open up 8 new mission in Honolulu. ! | Over a hundred members of the army were down to see them off, and hymns, prayers and speeches were the order cf the day for a hulf hour before sailing time. Just as-the vessel was backing ont an old | man, with long gray hair, mounted a fen- der pile and warned all and sundry to fl e from the wrath to come. Whatever else he had to say was drowned in the farewell whistle of the departing steamer, Among the prominent passengers who went away on the Australia were Mrs, W. S. Leake and Mrs. M. Garaner, who are going to Hawaiion a pieasure trip, and | who had hosts of friends to see them off. Before sailing their staterooms were turned into veritabte bowers.

William McClure, the popular chief engineer of tne Pacific Mail Steamchip Company’s City of Peking, returned from his vacation yesterday. He was accom- panied by his wife and daughter and spent iwo months visiting London, Paris, Berlin anl Rome. Finally he made a run to Belfast to visit the famous ship-building yards of Harland & Wolf, but jound that the works were closed down owing to the recent disas- trous fire. Mr. McClure says that he spent a most enjoyable time and wishes that he had only had more time to spend on the continent of Europe. As the Peking will not be due for some weeks 10 come Mr. McClure and his family are going to visit seme of the prominent places in California to wind up their European excarsion. H. C.

QUIBILY The Citizens’ Colonization Com- mittee Making Its Final Plans. Some Important Changes Suggested Regarding the Appearance of the Cottages. Although outwardly the Citizens’ Colo- tion Committee does not apnear to making very much progress just at present it is neverth-less planning just as busily as ever, and expects within a few days to be able to have something 0 show for its work. The committee on supplies held a short meeting at headquarters yesterday after- noon, at which the plans for the new buildings, the amount of supplies re- quired and other matters of importance were discussed. A suggestion by Mr. Hihn that, when the new cotiages are erected, if a slight difference be made in the construction of each one it will vastly improve the ap- pearance of the colony, it was adopted and will probably be carried out so far as pos- siple. It is intended also to plaut a fruit or shade tree of some varietly in front of each cottage if they con be obtained. The following were appointed on sub- commi s to negotiate for the purchase of suppli portation—L. R. Eilert, Major Winchell anda F. A. Hih Lumber, tan pumps and pip: Hibu. Hardware—E. A. Selfridge.

DAVIS WILL CONTEST. Argument Being Mnde for the Pro- poneuts by J. C. Campbell. Attorney J. C. Campbell began his argument in the Jacob Z. Davis will con- test yesterday. Judge Coftey’s courtroom was crowded, and the juy lisiened in- tently to the speiker’s earnest word -, Taking up the petition of the contestants Mr. Campbell called attention to the statements therein contained in which it was at first alleged that Mr. Davis did not write the will in dispute, and afterward it was asserted that when he wr.te it he was insane, finally winding up with the charge that if be wrote it he was unduly nfluenced by Miss Mnir, Mrs. Curtis, Mr. Curtie, Alexander Boyd and his wi e. These statements, Mr. Cawpbell thought, were suflicient to stamp 1i1he contest as insincere and he thought the further allegat:ons of ths contestants were equally untenable. He appealed to the record ta show that of all the persons in the world who knew Mr. Davis it was plain that he loved the proponents of this will more that he-did any one else. He had quarreled with bis relatives in the East, and they had not seen him for forty vears, yet aiter his death they had presumed to come for- ward and claim a part of his estate that he had bequesthed to the young ladies whom he-had aiways regarded and treated as iis own children. Mr. Campbell wiil conclude this morning. It is expecied that Attorney C. J. Hegge:ty wiil close the argument for the contestants this afternoon, and that the charge will be delivered by Judge Coffey next Monday afternoon.

THE ORYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS Physichins cecommend the Crystal warm sea water tub and swimming baths, North Beach,” |COLONEL SMITH |THE GRAND JURY SCORED COFFEY Accused Him of Betraying His Client's Inter- ests. Charged With Wasting the Estate of Widow Chris- tine Anderson, Said to Have Sold Valuable Real Fstate, Nogotiated a Mortgage and Pocketed the Cash. Judge Hebbard heard argument yester- day in the case of Mrs. Christine Ander- son against Dr. F. 8. Cook, Rose Dagan, John J. Coffey, Judah Boas and the Hibernia Bank for the recovery of real estate worth about $6000, and $1750 from Mr. Coffey, said to pe on account of moneys advanced to him from time to time during the past two years. Attorney J. F. Smith, representing Mrs. Anderson, drew attention to the fact that she is a poor, unlettered woman, who has but a slight acquaintance with the Eng- lish language, and when her husband died she applied to Mr. Coffey as an at- torney-at-law, hoping to have her home saved to her. In reviewing the testi- mony Mr. Smith quoted from the recotd to prove that instead of atiempting to protect the widow and the orphans,who-e interests 1t was his sworn duty to defend, he extorted from her a general power of attorney, absolute in its terms and irre- vocable, which no honorable attorney wou!d do, Ly which he took entire posses- sion and control of her property, 2nd in- stead of conserving the sacred fund that was intended for the benefit of the widow ana orphans, he sold the property to Rose Dugan, an irresponsible person, who ad- mitied that she never pawd a dollar of consideration for the deed. “What nextdid this man Coffey do?’ asked Mr. Smith. “He went to a large vanking concern and tried to mortgage the property for $2000, but they knew J.J. Coffey in that bank and he couldn’t get a cent. After that he went to the Hibernia Bank and succeeded in negotiating a loan for $50) on property worth not less than $5000. After that he senta hanger-on to Judah Boas and got $500 more, paying his agent $50 commission for his services in that transaction. Butdid he deliver any of that money to his client? Nota dollar, pot a cent. All that monev went into the capacious pocket of John J. Coffey. Yet this man Coffey did not tell his client that he had disposed of her property to an- other, and the first thing she knew of the transaction was when some one told her that a woman named Rose Dugan, a per- son of whom she had never heard before, ittle Then she frightened and began to complain. “To silence her outery, Mr. Coffey to!d her thai he would see that her property was restored to her, and be had Rose Du- gan, against whom I shall say nothing except that she was Mr. Coffey’s client— he had her, I say, deed the property back to Mrs. Anderson, and he told her that she didn’t know enough to have itre- corded, so he would attend to that for her, and he put the deed in his pocket and took it away with him, because she was foolish enough to trust him again. But did he have that deed recorded? Not smuch. He did nothing of the kind. That was not in accord with the Johu J. Coffey style of doing business. He put that deed in his pocket, where he had put the poor woman's money, and that was the last of the matter so far as he was concerned. Betore he secured the deed from his client he also inauced her to sign a paper re- leasing him irora all responsibility, Of course she signed that; sue was wiliing to sign anything just so she might get back herlittle home. “This man Jjohn J. Coffe{ imagined that he was hedging himseif about with proteciion by getiing all these papers, but bhe will be disappointed. The chancellor sitting in a court of equity will see that no such man shall reap advantuge from his own foul deed. “But the money secured from the bank {and trom the money lender was not all that John J. Coffey got from his unfor- tunate client. Under the pretense of pay- ing pres:ing claims against the estate of ner husband he wrung from her scanty hoard $750 in addition, and this also went mto the_capacious pocket of John J. Ccffey. You will see by this that he got §1750 irom the estate that he had sworn rotect.” ere Mr. Coffey interrupted with the assertion that he had laid out $:600 for the estate, but Mr. Smith disputed him, and cited the record to show that only $400 in claims had been presented against the estate from start to finish. He said that Mr. Coffey had betrayed every inter- est of his client, and was recreant to his sworn duty as an attorney-at-law, one of the most sacred of all the offices that may be held by men in our civilization. Yet Mr. Coffey now sets up a claim for serv- ices as counselor-at-law, which Mr. Smith regarded as jr:posterous. He had delib- erately schemed to loot this estate, and now asks tor a part of the funds that have been saved from his rapacious grasp. Mr. Coffey replied briefly. He said that Mr. Smith’s remarks were not based on the testimony, but that they were merely the opinions of the speaier. He protested that he had done all ne could for his client, and thought he was entitled to be paid for his services. The court announced that the motion to nonsuit would be granted as tothe bank ana Mr. Boas. He also found that Dr. Cook had not been zuiliy of any wrong while acting as administrator of the es- tate. The result will be that Mrs, Anderson will have to pay the two mortgages, amounting to $1000, and will also lose the $750 which she advanced to Mr, Coffey. The court is yet to decide whether she is legally entitled to reguin possession of her real estate. If the truth of her charges azainst defendants Coffey and Dugan are established to the satisfaction ot the Judge the deed will be set aside and she will save a fraction of the estate that was left I her by her husband. FREE WITH HIS GUN. An Intoxicated Collector Causes Scattering Along Third Street. A. M. Lewis, a collector for Levenson & Co., manufacturers of willowware, while excited by drink, caused consternation with a loaded revolver at the corner of Third and Mission streets last evening, Lewis was flourishing his revolver about and threatening fo shoot every one in sight when he was seized by Policeman W.J. Smith. The weapon was cocked, and the drunken man turned it point blank at the officer’s breast, but before he could fire, if such was his intention, the policeman laid him prostrate. Lewis was taken lo the City Prison and a charge of carrying a concealed weapon was placed aeamnst him.

N. i | | | THE BLYTHE OASE. Judge Garber Made a Chnracterlnlc‘ Argument for Mrs Blythe. The arguments in the Blythe case were | resumed in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Morrow yesterday. Inthe afternoon John Garber made a scholarly sreument on the vital issue in the case. In reply to Judge Towle’s argu- ment, Mr. Garber said that the Federal court could not reverse the action of the Probate ur other State courts unless it | could be shown that the State court did not have jurisdiction. It was notin the | power of the Federal court to review a decision of the Supreme Court of Califor- nia. Even wjth the consent of both par- ties the Federal court could not have been imvested with jurisdiction. Anotber poini made by Mr. Garber was to the effect tiut the Blythe Company had affirmed and adopted the allecation of | th- com plaint that the jurisdiction lay in | the Siate courts. The answer was prac- tically the same as the cross-complaint. Decrees on a cross-bill are interlocutory, not final. He argued further that the judgment of Judge Morrow was void on its face, tor the recital did not show a compliance with the law. When this is not shown any decree founced upon it is void. The speaker called attention fo the fact that the United States Marshal who served the paper struck oat the words “member of the fumily” before he swore to it. R. Y. Hayne foliowed for a haif hour, and further argument was continued until next Thursday morning. | ottt R Big Flour-Makers Incorporatad. | George C. Perkins, Alfred Bannister, Albert Miller, A. W.
