One of the Most Noted of the Veterans of Pioneer Newspapering. i Fred Hart Died in facramento and Will Be Buried at Cypress Lawn. The body of Fred Hart, one of the | most noted California pioneer journalists, | who died in Sacramento on the 30ih of | last month, has been brought to this City | by his widow and will be interred pri- vately in Cypress Lawn Cemetery some | day next week. Hart died of Bright's - | disease, from which he had been & sul- | ferer for many years. His demise is | widely lamented. As iar back as 1863 Fred Hart began to | figure in the newspaper world of the | Golden West, and he has been identifiea | with it continuously jor a third of a cen- | tury, dying in barness as the Sacramento correspondent of the Galt Gazette. His pen has been scratched on the copy paper of nearly every newspaper in Nevada, in- cluding that of the Territorial Enterprise | of Virginia City in the great days when | that journal was owned¢ by John W. Mackay and the late James G. Fair.

Tue following letter, writ'en by a mem- | ber of the Pacific Yacht Club, contains some interesting information about their fleet of half-raters: Replying to your inquiry in regard to the fleet of hali-raters, we are now haying one rac: every month, the next to take piace to- day. The half-raiers, as you probably know, are eightcen feet Jong and are under-sparred for the purpose of making it impossibleto cap- size them, and they are also_balanced so they ng their ability in | | years. | of | are non-sinkable, the object beine to use them | largely jor the educatioi of the young men of our club in smling.

Oue of the very fine things abont these smuil bonts was the proving of the fact tnat tiey were non.sinkable and non-capsizable. It was believed this would be utterly impos ble in our bay because of the very sirong winds that biow, and I couf ss that the test has been much more severe tnan I intended, we at one time suiiing in & forty-five mile wind. All of the boats I sailed with had all the snil the boats could carry and found it _utierly impos- sible to overiurn them. Perhaps toere has been nosingle thing in yachting «hat is more in.eresting and more helpful than this one {act, because it hasalways been said that the bay’is & very unsafe place for any one to <ail in not frmiiiar with yachting, but these small boals have demonstrated the fact that even with one not ramiliar with yachting these boats are safe in spite of the severe winds. The spirit of enthusinsm and the eagerness Captain Morel and | with which the assignmenls are sought after evinces the interest that is taken in tho su §2 50, | cess of this movement on the part of the Pa- ragen $1, H, M, Clarke | cific Yacht Club, | L | provements. | richer by nearly a hundred thousand dol- lars in consequence of the decisi n. In 1874 the Legislature passed an act permitiing the Board of Education of this City to partition the hundred-vara lot on the corner of Market and Fifth streets, known as the Lincoln School tract, and to lease the lots for a term of years. Adver- tisements were published calling for bids by lessees, and a lease of the entire tract in parcels was given for a term of twenty The contract for lease stipulated that the lessees should remove from the land after thirty days’ notice all buildings that were erected by them or their succes- sorsin interest, or upon failure to do so would forfeit all right to title of the im- Another provision of the contract was that the lessee, at the time the expiration of the lease, would “peaceably and quietly leave, suriender and vield up unto the said party of the first part (the City) all sand singular the demised premises, reasonable wear thereof 1 and damages by the elements excepted.” Tne lessees erected several frame and brick buildings on the property, and when the lease expired refused to move, claiming that the Boara of Education had reserved the right to purchase the 1m- provements, which was beyond the power given to it by the act of the Legislature. The Supreme Court only considers the written contract of the parties, and holds that it certainly was the intention of the board to permit the lessees to remove the buildings if they chose to do so before the expiration of the lease, but upon their re- fusal to do so they reverted io the owners of the land, tne City. Theaction in the case now finally de- cided was brought by the Board of Educa- tion against the lessees, John Grant and a number of others, to obtain possession of the improvements on the property in guestion. The action was brougut by the board acting upon the opinion rendered by City and County Attorney Creswell that the improvemenis belopged to the City. In the Superior Court, however, | Judge Seawell decided that the buildings belonged to the lessees. At the time that Attorney Creswell declared that the City | owned the buildings there was a lond nowl from the lessees. Yesterday’s de- cision will probably reawaken the indig- nation. The City has been represented in the litigation by Attorneys Creswell, Rodgers and Paterson. The attorneys for the acht Club Association’s race on | lessees were Michael Mulianey and Ryland The officers sailing will prob- | Wallace. utherlund, Captain | the lease, over tw Ever e the expiration of ears ago, the tenants have been paving a monthly ground rental of about $300 for each 25-fcot lot. In view of the decision it has been sug- zested that the City give only ashort lease on the property until a biil can be passed by the next Legislature allowing the City to lease the land foralon: term anda to spec fy the kind of improvements to be erected. “‘If this was done,” said a prom- inent City official yesterday, *the City could see to it that only such improve- menis should be erected as were suitable and in harmony with the surroundings, as they woula be at the expiration of the lease, say at the end of lorty years. But if long leases are made before such a law is obtained the City would either have to buy tbe tenants out or wait, before suit- able buildings would be erected.” 1n France it is illegal to capture frogs at night, the “Sszarac Lying Club,” a book which has been almost as widely quoted as the poems and stories of Bret Harte or the editorials of C. C. Goodwin, ana which is the father of a large percentage of the so- called California yarns, which 3ztill have currency throughont the world. Hart succeeded Goodwin as editor of the Enterprise when that distinguished writer was called to the editorship of the Salt Lake Tribune. Later ne transferred | his caustic and clever pen to the Austin Reveille, of which he became both editor and proprietor when the silver boom was on in that section of Nevada. Whilein this capacity he acquired a fortune, but with the usual o!d-timer’s luck, or ratber | with a luck that was quite as common as any other, lost all his money, and had nothing left but his profession with which to support himself and wife. In the course of time Hart drifted into San Francisco and became identified with the Daily Stock Report of this City, of which neis said by some to have been a partial founder. This field he left, Lov- ever, and went back into the interior of the State, where he has remained for the pust ten or twelve years. - ‘I'he hard work of his profession wore him out, and superinduced Bright’s disease, of which he died. Throughout his life he was a personal favorite where- ever known, and he leaves behind him a vasy circle of friends, all of whom will remember him with kindness and with grief that he is gone. There was nothing in the newspaper field that Hart had not turned his hand to. He began writing as a 14-year-old boy in & printing office 1n one ot the larger Eastern cities, and as soon as he was able to venture away from home struck out to try his pen in the adventurous surround- ings of California, He crossed the plains with the old caravans of ploneer day:, and many of his best subsequenti yarns have to do with the experiences along tae deserts. The facuity of humor prevailed uppermost in his mind, so that he wasin demand constantly in all camps both on the march and in the mines when the argonauts finally settled in California. Such weaknessesas he had wever seemed to vitally impair his native mental pow- ers, and much of his correspondence in recent years from Sacramento to the Galt Gazette has thown something more tnan flashes of ihe original brillianey. _Early in the seventies Hart was mar- ried, but he appears to have kept the mar- riage from the knowledge of his numerous relatives, all of whom are in the East. There remain two children from his mar- rui;p, a boy of 15 and one of 13. | Mrs. Hart, who is now in the City, states that Mr. Hart did not like to acknowledge his sickness, and that she was not aware of the seriousness of his condition until she received a telegram advising her of his death. He had not apprised Ler of his sufferings and was probably not aware that they were of a dangerous character. The body is to beinterred in the Cypress Lawn Cemetery at Mrs, Hart's request, he preferring its beauty to the less preten- tious burying-grounds of Sacramento. The interment will be entirely priuu}. Augustus Thomas Coming. Word has just been received in this City an- nouncing the intention of Augustus Thomas, the celebrated playwright, to leave New York on the 8ih inst. for a visit to the Pacific Const. He is coming here for the pnrpose of putting on a San Francisco stage his latest play, which has never yet becn presented on any stage. Mr. Thomas is well known in this City, both in person and as the author of several local fa- vorites among distinctly American plays, in- cluding his masterpiece, “The Ola Home- a‘;l‘lg." He is a member of the Bohemian u The new play has been purchased by Charles Frohman in this country and by Charles Haw- trey in England. . —— There are 2054 persons in Great Britain who pay tax on an income of more than £500 » year and 975 who pay taxes on mure than £10,000. 1 VISTED THE [RON WORKS Senator Morgan the Guest of Irving M.

The new rates will go into effect on Sep- tember 20. The list of products includes wheat and barley and canned goods, with just | enough other articles, perhaps, to create | an impression that the company 1s not adjusting its prices particularly and pri- marily to share the Calitornia farmers’ profits from this year’s grain crop. For the last two years, or during pre- vailing poor prices for wheat, the South- ern Pacific has been charging 50 cents a rundred pounds. It now purposes to charge 60 cents a hundred poundson boneblack, glune, whole barley, quicksil- ver, tallow, wheat, canned goods, mus- tard seed, rice and infusorial earth. No reason is assigned by the company for this additional cbharge. H That it wiil materially lessen the ex- | pected profits of wheat dealers in this State there can be no doubt. But thatit is not considered all the traftic wiil bear may be inferred from an explanation by | one of the company’s officials tnat in former years the rate has varied, some- times from almost a dollar 100 pounds down to the present charge.
