At that point graincars are pied up for half a mile, and passengers have to walk that distance in order to reach the steamer. At Hue- neme the blockade is just as bad, and the three - masted schooner Challenger has been pressed into service in order to keep out the coasting steamers. The Chal- lenger used to carry lumber between Seattle and San Pedro, but on this occa- sion she will bring nearly 1000 tons of wheat to San Francisco. The Umatilia will not get away until about 10 A. 3. All ber Puget Sound freight and nearly 500 tons of coal have to be dis- charged before she can get away on her extra trip. Longshoremen and other as- sistants will go down with the vessel, and if the expectations of Captain Bennett are real zed she wiil be back here in time to sail on her regular date, next Tuesda; During her southbound trip the Um: tiila passed the tng Fearless, dredger in tow, and the steamer Progreso, with a big raft in tow. Both steamers were making fair weather of it and the shnnces are that they will make porc to- av. The Hawaiian bark Rhoderick Dhn, which sailed yesterday, took away the largest individual cargo that has ever left this port for Honolulu. She took away over 2000 tons of general merchandise, and even then had to leave several con- signments on the wharf. A new factor has entered into the fight among the -quarantine officers on the water front. Dr. George Franklin Shields is the latest candidate in the field, and he asserts that he is the successor of Dr. Mec- Donald. As the matter stands Dr. Chal- mers is the legal representative of the State of Celifornia, Dr. Rosenau repre- sents the United Statesand Dr. McDonald had a contract with certain British ship- owners ‘to look after the welfare of their sailors while their vessels were in 1his port. A circular Jetter issued yesterday sets forth that Dr. Shieids ‘‘for a valuable con- sideration” now owns ail the book ac- counts and coniracts with English ship- owners now standing in the name of Dr. McDonald. “I am now owner and holder thereof and successor to Dr. McDonald’s claims thereunder for services to be per- | formed in future” is the concluding sen- | tence to Dr. Shields’ natice. ‘With three reputable physicians in the | field the sailors on the deep-sea ships | should be wel! attended to. diate Ross of the British ship Alcides, now ready for sea, will go out as master. Captain Dart will remain ashore to take care of his wife, who is very sick. The machinery on the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Alex Duncan broke down yesterdav, and she had to be towed from off the Presidio 1o ber dock by one of the red stack company’s tugs. The brig W. G. Irwin sailed for Hawai: vesterday, and tne brig John D. Spreckels will follow her to-day. Captain Christen- sen says he will caich the Irwin before she has gone g thousand miles and will beat her into port twenty-four hours. The capiains have a betof a suit of clothes on the outcome of the run. PASSED BAD DOLLARS. P. Joly Attempts to Pass Bogus Coins at Corbett’s Poolrooms. P. Joly, a manufaciuring jeweler, whose vlace of business is 2t 205 O'Farreli street, last evening about 9:30 o’clock and if the arresting officer, Patrol- is 1n for a very serious time of it. Joly purchased five pari mutuel pools on the Smith-Griffin fight at Cor- bet’s poolrooms last evening. In pay- ment he tendered five counterleit dollars, which were crude enough to be detecte by a blind beggar. Corbett’s man took the masguerading metal and then imme- diately sent for an officer. Joly was taken to the City Prison, wbere he was booked for passing counter'eit coins, Joly says he received the bogus dollars in change for a $10 piece about a week ago. He claims to Lave forgotten trom whom he received them, and asserts that he thought they were all right. Policeman Riley says that Joly is the man who has been systematically work- ing the poolrooms of the City with bad money for some time. He will be handed over to the Federal authorities to-day. - ROCK WAS UNLUCKY. Taken In Custody a Few Hours After Committing a Burglary. Guy Rock, 18 vears of age, was arrested by Detectives Reynolds and Dillon ves- terday upon a charge of burglary. Rock entered the residence of Mrs, Tate, 215 Polk street, shortly atter 11 o’clock yester- day morning and stole a diamond stud and some handkerchiefs. The detectives located Rock in a vacant lot on Fulton street near the City Hall. When searched at the City Prison the stud was not upon his person, and the voung larceaist ad- mitted that he had thrown it away when he saw he was about to be taken. The | officers accompanied him to the scene of bis arrest and the diamond was recovered. He will be booked for burglary this morn- ing. ———————— That Dice Game. Inregard to the disappearance of Marion | Witson 3r., a retiet police patrol driver, after & notable dice game with Pablo Sanchez, par- ticulars of which were published in yester- day’s CALL, H. W. Seeback, 940 Onk_street, de- nies that the game in question took place in the rear of his store. He knows, he says, that the facts are all right with that exception. BEN DAVIS' REPORT. Annual Siatement of the Chief Market Inspector’s Office ¥.led Yesterday at the Health Office. Ben Davis, chief market inspector of the Board of Health, made his annual re- port Thursday, showing the details of the work of his office for the past twelve months. He calls attention to the urgent need of supervision and inspection of the slaughter-houses al Butchertown and the passage of an ordinance regulating the hours during which cattle may be slaugh- tered. He also makes the following sug- gestions: I would again suggest that markets be pro- hibited from exhibiting meats in_front ot their establishments. The dust from the streets, impreznated with disexse germs and filth, speedily transforms healthy beef into meat that is absolutely & menace to health. Meats intended for sale should be kept away from all danger of attracting contagious dis- eases or such forms of bacteria possessing a tendency to cause sickness. During the year I have made twelve arrests for violation of the meat or- dinances, of which eleven were con- victed and ote acquitted. A total of 285 W paid into the City treasury for fineson said convictions. Onedealer indiseased meats was sentenced to six montns in the County Jatl, and was lately released after having served his time in full. Th.s is the first in- stance in the history of my department that the full extent of the law was given an offender. For the convenience of the public and trade in general T have appended this year, in addi- tion to my former tables, a complete alpha- betical list of aill msrkets in this City and County. Iamalso preparing for your honor- able board a_series of maps, upon which are being placed the location of nll markets in this county. Esch market has ben given an official number to designate it in future in- spections. SUPPORTED HER FATHER A Peculiar Case of Child Slavery Unearthed by F. A, Holbrook, Little Bertha Sauermann Sold Flowers Through Oregon and Wash- ington. A peculiar case of child slavery was called to the attention of F. A. Holbrook of the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children Thursday. He had noticed a little girl not over 10 years of age peddling flowers on the streets and she seemed 1o be a stranger in this City. Hes took the child to the office and questioned her and from her answers he found that she was the sole support of a family of four—a father and three children. The little one’s name is Bertha Sauer- mann and her father is now living at 733 Harrison street. Furtber investigation developed the fact that the father bas com pelled the child to peddie flowers for several years, whiie he and the otber chil- dren have lived in idleness off her earn- ings. The child has earned enongh to take the entire family through Oregon and Washington, she selling bouquets for aliving in all of the principal cities and towns in both States. Holbrook thought that, from appear- ances, tue father was able to earn a good living for the family, and he a-ked him why e made the chila follow such a life. Sauermann replied that it was because he was poor and could not find work. Ac- cording to Holbrook’s opinion, the excuse wus very lame, 1ndeed. He is of the idea that laziness has more to do with this state of affairs than inability to secure Work. Little Bertha is a bright child and has a fairly pretty face and winning ways. This is probably the secret of her success as a flower peddler, and the old man was not siow to take advantage thereof. Hol- brook 100k the girl with him and placed herin an institution, where she will be cared for until something can be done to make the father attend to her sapport, as well as take care of the other children. .- THE GRAND ARMY. Indications That San Francisco Will Get the Encampment of 1598, A few weeks ago Colonel T. H. Goodman of the Soutkern Pacific Railway sent to passenger agents representing lines of railway west of St. Paul, St. Louis and New Orleans a suggestion of a $60 round- trip rate to encourage convention iravel to the Pac fic Coast. It was suggested that an effort should be made to get the conventions of the N. E. A. and the Grand Army of the Republic to meet in Cali- fornia in 1898, Many 1eplies have been received to the communication of Mr. Goodman and nearly all the responses are favorable. Some of the lincs have detailed agents to atiend the Grand Army En- campment at Buffalo and use every effort to have the next annual reunion in San Francisco. Cincinrati is making a strong battle for the encampment of 1898, bat recent letters indicate thet the senti- ment is changing in favor of another en- campment in Califorma. It is believed now that Ohio will win the fizht for com- mander-in-chief and that Caliiornia will secure the encampment. FIRE DEPARTMENT. Three Members of Engine 32 Fined for Negiect of Duty. The Fire Commissioners met Thursday afternoon when F. H, Sharon, John Blythe and William Blackmore were each fined $15 for neglectofduty. They are members of Engine Company 32.

Canger, hoseman of engine 33. .. Season Nearly Over. To-morrow, as usual, the commodious ferry steamer Ukiah will make four round trips between San Francisco and El Campo. This is one of the few resoris which retains its popularity throughout the entire season. There seems to beonly a slight aiminution in the volume of business since the height of the midsum- mer picnic season. Delightful walks and shady nooks, with many artificial attrac- tions, make Bl Campo a resort worthy of oft-repeated visits. ——————— Jurors’ Fees in Civil Cases. City Attorney Creswell has given notice of appeal in the case of Hilton vs. Curry, which was recently decided by Judge Hebbard. In that mstter the plaintiff sought to compel the County Clerk to issue his certificate of services as & juror in_civil proceedings, in order that the fees might be collected from the County treasury. Mr. Curry refused on the ground that tne litigants were (he only ones to pay fees in civil cases. The court beld that the 1law of 1895 modified former statutes to such an extent that jurors who answer for service are entitled to their fees for the day, whether they are accepted &s jurors or not, Itis totest this question that an appeal will be taken. ————— Not the Same Wiltsee.

Last night was wheelmen’s night at the Mechanics’ Fair, and wheelmen of every description and wheelmen baffling de- scription—big ones, little ones, thin ones, fat ones; handsome men ana men who never use a mirror were there. And the women! Of course, they were all pretty, for did any one ever see a woman in Cali- fornia who was not pretiy ? They started coming in early—first an odd one or two, then grouys, then whole clubs coming in together, and by half-past 8 they were all there, from the man who comes in witha rush haif an hour before- hand and, mopping the persyiration from his forehead, inquires if he is very late, to the fellow who stalks in leisurely after every onc else has arrived and wonders why they started things going so early. But the committee kinaly waited for this man and all of his kind, and when 1he parade sturted there were fally 300 in line exclusive of the bloomer ladies, who blushed modestly and refused to partici- pate in the parade. The prizes were awarded by Secretary Cumming, who, in an extemporaneous speech which, rumor says, it took him at least three days to prepare, spoke about wheelinz and everything else but the Me- chanics’ Fair. The prize-winners were as follows: Club haying the most members present in club uniform—Gold enameled vase, California Cycling Club.

Mrs. Kuhl’s Application for Guardian- ship in the Probate Court. Mrs. Holen Xuhl's application to bs ap- pointed guardian of Mary Brown, the 14. year-old half Indian daughter of the late Captain William Brown, waa cailed for hearing in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday. Mrs. Kubl testified that she would give the girl a good home, and saia she had never been cruel 10 ber, and insisted that she was the proper person for the place. She dia not wish to have anything to do with the girl’s estate. which is by some estimated to be worth $20,000, while others estimate it at $40,000. This case has attracted considerable at- tention irom the fact thataccusation« have been made against Mrs. Kuhl and also against Donald Ross, who has charge of the girl's property. Much of the same ground was gone over, but nothing new was developed. Several witnesses testified that they con- giderad Mrs. Kuhl an excellent woman and a proper person to uct as guardian, Judge Coffey continued the further near- ing of the matter until Tuesday at 10 o’clock. e SUSAN OROOKS’ ESTATE. The Administrator Will Be Asked to Pay Interest on Balances. John J. Crooks, administrator of the estate of Susan Crooks, deceased, testified in Judge Coffey’s court yesteraay that the income of the estate is from $1600 to $1800 amonth. He reported to the court that he nad made a separate deposit of the funds of the estate. Hitherto he had not thought it necessary to keep those funds distinct from his private deposit, He had been the manager of his mother’s business affairs before her death, and afier her death made no change in the keeping of the accounts. When he heard that oujec- tions were made he compliea with the wishes of other heirs at once. Attorneys J. F. sullivan and A.

SHOT AT THE PRESIDIO, A Valuable St. Bernard Dog Met Its Death While Trespassing on ¥orbidden Ground. A valuable St. Bernard dog, the prop- erty of Eaward L. Cutten of 2516 Sacra- mento street, met its death in the Pre- sidio reservation on Sunday last by a well- aimed bullet from the rifle of one of the sentries. The notice posted at the different en- trances leading to the reservation that “dogs are not permitted within the in- closure” means just what it says, as Mr. Cutten, to his sorrow, now knows, for he has lost a most valuable dog througa the carelessness of the man who bad the ani- mal in charge. On the occasion mentioned Mr. Cut- ten permitted three of his most prized pets to be taken out for an airing on last Sunday morning. The man who had them in charge allowed them to enter the Government grounds, and before he was aware of the risks incurred the sharp crack of one of Uucle Sam’s newest rifles told nim that sowmething was wrong within the inclosure. To his astonish- ment he found that the valuable dog bhad been the target for the soldier’s aim and that his charge was a victim to a violation of the military rales. The dog was h ghly prized by its owner. It had won the first prize for special en- tries at all the kennel club exhibitions on the coast during the pas: three years, and had cost its owner $300 to purchase and bring it to this City from Ohio when only a few months old. Mr. Cutten con- sultel = lawyer, who has advised him to bring suit against General Shafter, the commandant of the reservation, for the value of his dog, which he fixed at $500. JAILED THR NEWSBOTS of Them Offend the Majesty of the Law. Nine They Were Giving Away Transfers With Papers, and Thus Violating a Municipal Ordinance. Eight newsboys ranging from 9 to 16 years of age filed before the desk sergeant at the City Hall yesterday afternoon, and were booked for violating an ordinance of the Board of Supervisors. The lads were a trifle uncertain whether to consider their predicamennt an occa- sion for tears or heroic laughter. Some went to each extreme, but most of them maintained a wavering middle course until they could see some prospect of the termination of their adventure. The boys were arrested by Police Officer H. J. Jones, who charged them with illegally selling transfers. The offenses were allegzed to have been committed upon the 17th, 18th and 19th inst. The boys have teen habitually giving away transfers to customers at the corner of Powell and Marker, and Jones was detailed to break up the practice. He went to the scene in citizen’s clothes and procured transfers from four of the boys and caught four more seliing transfers to other persons. The raid occurred yes- terday afternoon, just as the boys were starting out with the fifth edition of the evening papers. The viciims were Edwin Ruddick, Joseph McDonald, Newman Schubeiar, Walter Riley, Reuben Shopiro, George Bigbee, Harry Rakneir and Willie Lucas. A number of grand jurymen were in the prison when the little fellows were brought in and one of them sent for Judge Joachimsen before whom the war- rants had been procured, and the Judee allowed all the boys to go on their own recognizance, until this morning at 10 o’clock. Several of the boys disposed of their stcck of papers to sympatletic on- lookers at the prison. Later in the evening Policeman Jones brought in Willie Bennett, a lad 15 years of age, charged with the same offense. Bennett is a cripple and his arrest created considerable indignation. Jones started out to find Judge Joachimsen to obtain the boy’s release, but wnile he was out the lad’s friends showed up with bail. e MODEST MR. TATE. Judge Coffey Wants to See the Execu- tor of Mrs. Taber's Estate. Jadge Coffey would b> p.eased to hear from Jesse T. Tate, administrator of the estate of the late Mrs. Caroline Taber. For some reason best known to himself, Tate declines to be interviewed by the court and he exhibits equal coyness in re- gard to the companionshin of hisown at- torneys, Messrs. Hernan joldecena. It is supposed that Mr. Tate'saccountsaresll right, but his absence has caused scme in- quiries to be made. The settlement of the affairs of this es- tate occupied the attention of the court for several hours. Some bills were consider- ably reduced, notably the elaim of Dr. Campbell Ford which was presented for $1550 and was compromised for $350. The doctor at the time of his examivation in court testified that it was a verv hard case to hundle: that Mrs. Taber's husband was sick in the same bed at the same time and that he, thadoctor, was compeiled to be in attendance almost constantly for six davs, without any sleeo or rest. He had a cloim for $700 against Mr. Ta- ber’s estate, who died a few hours before his wife, but that bill also sufferea a dimi- nution at the bands of the lawyers for the heirs and the administration, for it was al- lowed 1or onty $1:0. e LUCAS CHARGES LIBEL.

Price sent to San Quentin for sell- ing indecent literature, swore toa com- plaint_yesterday charging Price’s head clerk, Thomas Stanton, with livel. After Price’s conv ction Lucas attempted to have Stan‘on held on the same charge, bu: failed. In retaliation Stauton caused to be placed in the window of Price’s store a pen and ink caricatur., alleged to represent Lucas.

D00 WILL NOT RIDE THEM Frequenters of Saloon Side Entrances Are in a Quandary. Police Determined to Enforce the Ordinance Prohibiting Closed Rooms, Liquor-Dealers, However, Say That Portieres Can Be Used to Advantage, The crusade of the police against the side entrances and private boxes in sa- loons which was started in 1893 had iis effect for a time, but the moment the po- lice ceased thelr vigilance the evil seemed to increase rather than to abate. In zcnsequence a new fight against the supposed evil has been started. of the ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor in side rooms where doors shut off the view from the general public has been distributed throughout the saloons in this City. The general opinion of tha saloon- keepers in regard to the ordinance is that the Christian Endeavorers started the new fight against them. The ordinance reads as follow: Order No. Regulating the sale of liquors in barrooms or saloons.—The people ot the City and County of Sun Francisco do or- dain as follows: Section 1. No person engaged in selling spirituous, malt or fermented liquors or wines 1in quantities less than one quart in any bar- Toom or saloon shal! seil any liquor to be de- livered or used or that shall be delivered or used in any side room, back room, uprer room or other apartment iun the same or any adjoining building connected by use with such burroom or saloon, excepting only open alcoves or booths open at the top end without doors and not over six feetin height, forming a part of such barroom loon; or shall have or meintain any private of separate entrance for any particular class or customers; or any words or signs upon any entrance signifying thet such entrance is for Iadies, or famiiles, or for any particular ciass of persons; or_is & private entrance to such barroom or saloon, or to any other spartment used in connection therewith; provided that nothing herein contained shail prohibit the serving of such liquors to guests in a hotel or restaurant having a valid license to sell the same. Sec. 2, Any persor convicted of violating any of the provisions of this order shall be pun- ished by a fine not_exceeding $100 or by im- prisonment not exceeding thirty days, and for every second violation of this order the penalties shell be dcubled. Sec. 3. flict herewith are hereby repesied. The police have been ordered to strictly enforce the provisions of the order by ar- resting all parties who refuse or do not re- move the doors to their private rooms within the next few days. The ordinance is supposed to have again been enforced on account of the many saloon robberies committed within the last few weeks. In many places in ‘own the doors have already been removed, but the proprietors of the places dodge under the order by having portieres hung in the doorways. The curtains will answer their purpose as well or even better than the doors, as they seem to piease the frequenters of public places better, as the surroundings are more comfortable with curtains than they formerly were. The saloon-keepers are anxiously await- ing to see whether or not the portieres wiil come undr the general head of doors.
