Nearly the Whole Board Op-l posed to Granting an Ex- tension of Time, ACTION TO B2 BEFINITE TAKEN. Contractors to Be Called Upon to Give Their Reasons for Not Fush- g the Work. ; contractors, whose rd the work on the Halli of Just: as occasioned a3 great deal of adverse criticism from the property-owners of this City, may be called upon at the next meeting of the Commit- tee on Public Buildings of the Board of Supervisors to g eir reasons why they do not put a larger force of men to work and make a betzer showing than they have thus far. TV tt of the Committes on Buildings, who by virtue of that office is responsible in a measure for the carrying out by the contractors of the terms of the contract, was inclined to treat the matter lenient! The procrast delay in p “I don’t think that the builders are en- | tirely to blame for the delay. Itisthe fault of the architect as much as it is theirs. They were delaved in the star because the debris had not been removed, | and the builaings close by had to be *shored’ up. At a mee! of the board the architect admitted t he was as | much to blame as the builders.

There has been some fricticn be- tween the coniraciors and the Building Committee, but as I am not a member of that committee I have paid but little at- tention to it. In fact, I don’t know any- thing at all about the matter.” It is an outrage!” exclaimed Super- visor Haskins, “THE CALL 1s 1aking the right stand in that mater, for the aelay will drive all the business away irom tnis end of town. Of course it wili eventuaily come back again, but the business men are being injured. A great many of them have compiained to me= about the way tie work is being done there. If they don’t get the work done when they should and can’t give a good excuse they should be fined.”” “[am chafing at the delay as much as the people are " saia Supervisor Clinton, “but I can’t say just now what I will do. I will investigate the matter and if 1 am satisfied that the contractors are 10 blame 1 will not be willing to grant them any further time.”” Supervisor Lackmann saia: It is time that these delays should be stopped, and if the matter comes up before the board I will vote inst granting an extension. 1t is wholly unwarranted.” Supervisor Devany said; “I don’t kuow much about the matter, as I have just returned from the country; but 1 in- tend to look into it.

COLONEL KOWALSKY ARBITRATOR. The Pursued Escapes and the Fair Will Case Yet Continues, | McEXERNEY STILL HAS CONFIDENCE. *'Incidenta‘ly He Explains the Con- | ference of Governor James H. Budd and Martin Kelly. Baroness von Turkheim is again on the | warpath. Undaunted by former failures, she has | again essayed to gain possession of the | scalv of Attorney D. M. Delmas. But {once more has she failed, and it is ru- mored that t.e suave Colonel Kowalsky | was the benefactor who prevented the | wreaking of the dire deed. | yesterday afternoon Attorney Delmas, ac- companied by Colonel Kowalsky and At- torney Ruef, walked along McAllister | street to Market. At this point an addition was made to | the gatheri the former's Nemesis, | Jeanine Young, er, speaking more defin- itely, Baroness von Turkbei:n, Attorney | Delmas maintained a siudied silence, but | the colonel allowed his thoughts to be ut- | tered in the words, “What next?’ | Tne Baroness accosted Delmasand said, 1 *I wish to speak to you,” but received no | answ T parly then masin the lead, the colonel a close sec- ond, followed by Lawyer Ruef, who was | again in turn followed by the Baroness. As they reached Sixih sireet Delmas, with the vain idea of “.0sing” the Baron- ess, turned down that thoroughiare. But she was not so easily to be shaken off. Kowalsky, who secmed to be sianding guard, pusbed the tall brunette aside and told her there were other und more agree- able places to speak to Delmas, if speak she must. Then trouble commenced; for the Baroness allowed her wrath to be spent upon the colonel, and he concluded to join Deimas in a ‘“tonic” in a convenient liquor-store on Sixth sireer. Ruet had already joined the pursued. By this time a crowd had gathered, and the Baroness won their sympathy by tell- ing them how she had teen s.ighted and | wronzed by 1he “little Napoleon.” Detective Crockett, seeing the crowd, | went along to see what 1t was all about. He saw the Baroness surrounded by her | sympathisers and, walking up to her, | asked her what was the matter. | *“Who are you, sir?” colaly asked the Baroness. | 79I am a deiective officer,” Crockett, showing his star. Then she coudescended to explain that she wantad to talk to M had gone into the liguor-store. endeavored to disperse the crowd, but without avail A looker-on took it upon bimself to go and notify an officer that there wasa dis- turbance near Jessie street, and the offi cer, acting upon the information, rang | for the patrol. | When the wagon arrived Mr. Delmas, the colonel and Ruef, who peared upon the scene, somewhat re- freshed, declined tp make any complaint { for her arresi, and the quietly withdrew, at Detective Crockett’s suggestion, much 10 the chagrin of the coustantly growing crowd, who were evidently looking ior | still ‘urther demonstrations. | The trio of attorneys proceeded on their way (0 their respective offices, and again Attorney D Imas escaped with his cranial | covering, much to h:s satisfaction and | that of his company. However, this “outside demonstration” will not retard the trial. The final battle is on and tie celebrated contest is about to end in a pyrotechnic disiny of oratory. The wind-spilling commenced yesterday morning at 1 o’clock, and Garret Mc- Enerney put in the entire day telling why replied defendant Craven, and how much there was of righteousness in all that bad been contended for by the plaintiff Fair., Tuere was a large crowd present. Judga Carroll Cook’s courtroom had been bor- rowed for the occasion, and it was well filled. Among the spectators during the forenoon were Mrs. Herman Oeirichs and Miss Virginia Fair. At the afternoon session Mrs. Craven and Mr, and Mrs. Henry Koehler, the last named formerly Miss Margaret’ Craven, were present. The bride and groom roobed the speaker of much of his legitimate attention. Before the signal was sounded for Me- Enerney to enter the lists Juage Slack made a few preliminary remarks concern- ing the rules under which the contest was to be conducted. Eaci side was to be allowed eight hours for argument—the usual working time of two court days. The questions which the jury would be asked to find upon were three, briefly: 1. Did James G. Fair ever sign the docu- ments in question? 2. Were they propesly acknowledged belore J. J. Cooney, notary? 3. Was there a conspiracy entered into oy Netue R. Craven, Elizabeth Haskins and J. J. Cooney 1o defraud the rightful heirs out of a portion of the estate oi James G. | Fair? Judge Slack stated that he had de- cided to admit evidence concerning the vulue of James G. Faii’s estate, and to exclude testimony concerning the circum- stances of the heirs. Delmas objected to the latter ruliug, and resultant upon the former decision it was stipulated that the estate was worth $15,000,000. ’ These little preliminaries being disposed of Attorney McEuerney faced the jurv. By his side was a great stack of exhivits, some of them bearing numbers of dizzy proporiions, and in his hand he held a mass of iypewritten manuscript that caused the jurymen to turn white and tremble. The plaintiff’s champion lost little time in 1dle words. He omitted an introduction to his speech, anda then bal- anced the address by leaving off the per- oration. It was a cool, convincing array of apparently irresistible deductions. It will bé my purpo-e to sum up from the ev.dence,” be said, “two conclusions: That James G. Fair never signed the two deeds in question, and that he never ac- knowledged them. Ifthese two conclu- sions are supported, then the third con- | clusion, that Nettie R.

Cuilen, that she announced lLer posses- sion of the pencil will. = Incidentally McEnerney threw in a few remarks in expianation of Governor | Budd's cornection with the case. ‘‘Sue seys that Mzrun Kelly came to her from Governor Budd,” said” McEnerney, “and aid ‘Governor Budd wishes 1o see you.” It is not unlikely that Martin Kelly went to Governor Budd and said, ‘Tnere is a | woman in town who has a last will of | James G. Fuir which rizhts your cliient by viug $300,000 to your ciient, Charles L. s entered Fair.” Well, she went to Governor Budd, and he said, ‘Where is that will? She | sai¢, ‘W:at will?® | *Now, 1t Governor Budd was occupying the position of an attorney looking out for the interests of his chient, what was Martin Kelly doing in that room unless ! be was aiding and abetting Mrs. Nettie R. | Craven?’ ‘Ihen McEnerney tossed a few floral tributes at the executive, who he s4id was free from taint of corruption. The advocate argued thut Mrs Craven’s session of the aeeds and the wills all negatived such po session. He also dwelt | strongly upon the point that no motive | had been skown in Senator Fair for ms | ing such g fts to Mrs. Craven. “There is not a letter, not a single scrap of paper,” he said, “'expressing Fair's friendsnip or gratitude toward her.

The Occi- dental and National Sportirg Clubs are warm aspirants for the contest and O’Rourke, shrewd manager as he is, seems to court to delay in order that the pugil- ists may receive an immense profit from the physical culture exhibition.

'MORGAN OFF T0 HAWAL Alabama’s Senator Left Yes- terday in Company With Other Legislators, Gunboat Party Start South This Morning. Senator Morgan of Alabama, who has by some persons been gratefully stvied | “the human stove that roasted Hunting- | ton,”” sailed from here yesterday afternoon for Honolulu, accompanied by the two { Misses Morzan. Several legislators and polilicians were at the pier to bid the distinguished visitor farewell. He proposes to spend several weeks in Hawaii personally investigating the resources of the i:lands that he ma when Congress convenes be able to ad cate or to oppose annexation according to the resuits of his stuay. With Senator Morgan there departed several other legi:lators of note, members of the visiting Wheeling gunboat party, who gladly availed themseives of the op- portunity to visit Honolulu in company with the Alabama Senator. These per- sons, a8 mentioned in yesterday’'s CAw: were Gongressman Berry and Miss Berry of Kentucky, Congressman and Mrs. Bankhead of Alabama, Mrs. Doverer of West Virginia, Congressman and Mrs. Loudenslager of New Jersey, Congressman { Joe Cannon_of Illinois and’ Congressman Tawney of Minnesota. Some thirty of the remaining forty-nine members of the gunboat party were on | the summit of Mount Tamalpais yester- | day afiernoon as the steamship Australia passed plainly to their view out through | the Golden Gate and steamed far to the westward bearing away their friends. In the forenoon the visiiors from the Southern States tormed into several par- ties, some goinz to the Clift first and some to the park first and to the Ciiff afterward. Last night one party attended the Orpheum. The larger numter of the visitors, however, were at Odd Feilows’ Hall, where a lecture on California was deiivered, and in their honor stereopticon views exhibited of scenes in West Vir- ginia. At 9 o’clock this morning all the re- maining imembers of the Wheeling party will depart for Fresno on their way to Santa Barhara, Los Angeles, Passadena and Santa Catalina Island. ..

The meeting was for the Hazgdse of sign- |ing arucles for a 20-round contest be- | tween Lavigne and Walcott. | O'Rourke orened the proceedings by | stating that he was wiiling to sign Wal- cott to weigh in at 3 o’clock at 137 pounds. Lavigne and his brother demurred to this proposition. They were willing that the champion lightweight should meet the doughty Walcott, 1he men to weigh in at the ringside at 137 pounds. But O’Rourke wouldn’t have it that way; the men must | not weigh in at the ringside. Here a long discussion followed as to the advantages or disadvantages of a Cali- fornia chmate over that of the East from | a pugihsticstandpoint, O'Rourke contend- ing that a man conldn’t fieht here as strong as he could East unless he were | much” heavier. *“Why,” said the susve | manager, “Walcoit can fignt in the East at 133 pounds. Here I wouldn’t think of nim going into the ring at less than 137.” Laviene's forces contended that the lightweight champion had received a dis- patch while in the East from San Fran- cisco assuiring him that Walcott would fight at 137 pounds, weigh in at the ring- side. O’'Rourke denied that he had ever au- thorized such a dispatch; that the 137 pounds meant weigh in at 3 o’clock in tue afrernoon. Lavigne recognized that Walcott was a burd man and thought it unfair that be shoul ! vive away so much weight to the | colored man, asserting that 137 nounds in the aiternoon would mean 143 or 145 pounds in the ring. At this juncture Gibbs called O'Rourke and Bully Lavigne into an adjoining room | and, on behalfof the National Club, offered | 80 ver cent of the eross receipts for the contest. This was a raise of 5 per cent over the club’s previous bid. After more talk O’Rourke said that he was willing that Walcott shou'd weigh in at 136 pounds at 6 o’clock on the evening icht, but Lavigne wou!d not listen to the proposition, holding out for 137 pounds at theringside. The meeting broke up, nothing having been accomplished. It was afterward ascertained that the National Club is hopeful of matching La- vigne and Dal Hawkins, or Lavigne and the winner of the McKeever-Tracey fignt. | Hawkins is in the rightweight class and Lavigne fights strong at133. In fact his most notable battles, possibly excepting ‘his contest with Dick Burge before the National Sporting Ciab of London on June 1, 1896, were at this weight or in its vicinity. On D -cember 2, 1895, he won from Walcott before the Empire Club at Maspeth, Long Isiand. It was a 15-rouna contest, Lavigne to stay tbat number of rounds, but e won on merits. The men fought'at 133 pounds. Lavigne contends that Walcott is now in the welter-weight class, and that while he is willing to give Walcott the advantage in weight he is unwilling 10 accord hima so much as O’Rourke insists upon. Eddie Graney announces that he will not referee the Dixon-Smith fight, which takes place in October. He states that be I has been asked 1o referee the Lavi-ne- | Walcott fight if it is puiied off and has it under advisement, He wiil probably ref- eree the contest. The National Club, it is understood, is regotiating with Sharkey to meet the winner of the Choynski-Jeffries match, which is scheduled for November. Choyu- ski is expected here the firstof the month.

Prospective mothers ought to make it as hopeful a world as pos- | sible for the little stranger. It is her duty at least to confer on her baby as strong and healthy a constitution as possible, by keep- ing her own physical and mental condition at its best during the expectant time. The best promoter of heaith and cheer- fulness a prospective mother can have is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It tones up the whole system and gives special strength and elastic power to the delicate organism concerned in parturition. It makes the mother stronger and brighter in body and mind; it shortens confinement, makes delivery easy and entirely free from danger; gives the mother recuperative en- ergy and power, and promotes an abundant | supply of nourishment for the child. Delicate women should be extremely care- ful not to imperil their health by resorting to any preparation put up by unskilled, un- educated persons, or mere nurses. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the only preparation of its kind invented by a regu- i larly graduated physician, an eminent spe- cialist of thirty years’ experience. The most valiable knowledge for women, and especially for prospective mothers, is contained in Dr. Pierce's great joos-page free book, ' The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser’ Several chapters are devoted to women's repro- ductive physiology.
