The presumption in law, as pre- sented by Gunnison, Booth and Bartnett, is that the Lu-band, peing the stronger, wouli naturally survive his wife. Attor- ney M. (. Hassett represented the heirs of Mrs. Parsons. In summing up the evidence the court say: The facts from w wife can be inferred are established by the evidence: 1—Tae decedent wife was last seen bout sixty feet from the sink 4iusband when last st ck of the +hip some few minutes the small boat sunk. 3—The ship sank | outof signt before the bont sunk, and was aot seen again. 4—Toe witness, aiter the smail boat senk, swam 10 & plece of the ship’s deck, | showing that the ship had first gone to the bottom, tearing her decks off in the final plunge. Neil Hanley, quartermaster of the Pa- cific, was the sole survivor of the disaster, and it is on his testimony that tbe facts are estabiished. The court says tie proo: may b: considered slender, bat it is su’ ticient. Consequently the estate, which is valued at $4000, 1s ordered to be dis- tributed to the relatives of Mrs. Parsons. {.If Mr. Parsons had survived his wife the property would nave gone 1o his relatives.

BLEVEN VESSELY THOUT CREWS {Captains Bound by Con- tracts to a Twenty Dol- lar a Month Rate. Sailors Demand $30, so the Shipping Masters Are in a Quandary, There Are Plenty of Good Men on the Beach Ready to Ship at the Advanced Rate. “What's the zood of a charter to a vessel when a captain cannot produce sailors to man her?”’ was the remark wmade by a disgusted Britisn skipper yesterday. | ““Many a good ship is loaded and ready to sail, but is compelled to swing at ber cure men at the ruting'rate. It will come ito a split up pretty soon, and sailors’ wages will advance, contract or no con- tract.” | The situation is about as follows | Nearly all the British ships in port are { under contract to certain shipping mas- ters. Thess latter have agreed 10 supp'y men all the year quired, and at no time are the wagesto exceed $20 a month and $40 advance. At the present time the rate in Portland and on Puget Sound is §30 a month and $50 advan ce, coi:sequently sailors in this port will not ship at the lowerrate. Atthe | present time the ships Bothwell, Saint Mirren, Dalgonar, Glencaird, Kensing- ton, Largiemore, Leicester Castle ana the Matterhorn, and the barks Cloncaird, For- farshire and Inverlochy, are iying in the siream awaiting crews. Some of them are at an expense of §250 a day, and at that rate will soon eat up the extra wages demanded by the men. In talking sbout the matter Andrew Furu-eth of the Coast Seamen's Union said: “Wages will have toadvance or the deep-water ships will have to /ie in the stream or sail with green crews. The wages are too low, and the first two montns that Jack is at sea he is simply working up @ dead horse. *‘A few years ago a sailor was worth | $111, and when the boarding masters sat down to a quiet game of poker and one of them desired to raise the anteit wasa common expression, ‘I'll bet you anotuer sailor.” Since then wages have continued falling until these contracts with the ship- ping agents came into force. Ii is not true that there are no deep-water sailors in port. L+t the masters or owners of the vesseis now tied up in the stream agree to y the wages ruling in Portland and 1 wiil guarantee to supply every vess:1 with ail the men she wants between now and next Saturday. The men will be supplied with this proviso, however, the wages must be paid direct to the sailor, and not through the hands of any second party. Some of the men may want an advance, but the majority will not. Those who do want an advance must have the | money paid direct to them the same as their wages. If i1he middlemen were done away with altogether Jack would get better wages and would be far better off at the end of each voyage. Asit is now nearly two months of his wages are almost gone beiore he sets foot un the ship and when he reaches his destination he hasin many instances not a centcoming to him. He 1s frequently put aboard with only & half-rilled kit and then the slop- ciest eats up near.y all the wages that is cominy to him for the rest of the voyage. My offer will remain open and any British captain that wants to avail himseli of it is welcome to doso. They can one and all be certain also that they will get A B's and not green hand The Ship-owhers’ Association is in al- most the same box as the contractors who are trying to fill the British ships. For several days they tried to fill ths Ameri- can ship Sterling but failed. The job was turned over to an outside boarding-master | and be filled the ship vesterday at §3) a | month. The association also tried for six days to | gei men for the Kclipse, but they failed jand an outside shivping master had to put men on her also. The crew of the | schooner Gotama, which is going north to load lumber, also paid the aavanced rate, and the bark Santiago had to come 10 terms before she zot away to Honolulu. There was trouble on the latier vessel Mouday last. She was ready to sail, but the men were not ready to go owt on her. was a good time to strike for an advance in wages. The others agreed and the two ringleaders went aft and made the de- mand. The captain asked for haif an bour'sdelay. Wnen he returned to the shiip he was accompanied by two men. He if2d the crew aft, agreed to pay them a month, ordered the two ringleaders usbore, put the two men in their places and at once made sail for the islands. The masters of British ships noins north to load for England will have considerable trouble before they get away. The cap- tain of the Halewood has only a limited time in which to get to Portland ahd ninish his loading betore his charter ex- pires. He could not afford to wait for his contract sailors, so he had to take men at §25 a month. The shinping masters in Portland have been advised of this fact and when the vessel reaches her loading rort they will induce every one of the six- teen men on the Halewood to desert. The ship will again be left without a crew and the captain wiil be out the advance money, and will also have to pay $30 a month and $60 advance beiore he can geta new crew. WATER-FRONT NOTES. The British steamer Gaelic sailed for Hongkong via Honolulu and Yokohama yesterday. She had a full passenger list, anchor because the master cannot pro- | around whenever re- | Two of them had started the idea that it | many of whom were missionaries and their families, bound for their field of labor in the Orient. A Chinese named Tom Mow was one of tbe Chinese passen- gers who did not get away on the vessel. Tom refused to pay his dues in the See Yup Society before leaving. The secre- tary w not to be beaten, however. He immediately rushed to Judge Conlan’s court, and swore out a warrant charging Tom Mopw with embezzling $3 trom an- | other Chinese. He was arrested a few minutes before the vessel got away and taken to the City Priron. Tom says that the whole affair is a trumped up charee, and that he will make some one suffer for his detention. Twoof the crew of the zunbost Whee- ling made their escape in a novel manner vesterday. They were coaling ship in the siream, and, it being a warm and sultry day, they decided a good iong steam beer would do them good. They slippea off iheir shoes, and when (he sentry’s back was turned they dropped overboard and | swam for the thore. When half-way to i the wharf Bob Spear and Walier Apted, who were rowing past in a whitehall, picked them up and landed them at Mis- sion-street wharf. The men were ciad in white duck trousers ard an undershirt, and were covered from head to foor with coal dust, which the water faiied to wash off. loon, had several rounds of steam beer and when their money gave out they went to the Folsom-street float and gave them- selves up to the first naval officer who came ashore. Those men wi.l pay dearly 1or their glass of beer. The s'eamer Homer will start for Tahiti on the 16.h of October as the regular mail steamer between Papeeie and San Fran- | cicco.

The Skeleton of the House of Mystery Continues to Walk Before the Public. An extra Deputy Sheriff had to be em- ployed yesterday for the purpose of keep- ing the crowd of euriosity hunters out of Judge Coffey’s court, where the case of Thomas Frederick Bell against his motber, Theresa Bell, is on trial. The usual intermingline of races was again observable, for the most noted figure in the controversy being Mrs. M. E. Pleas- ant, a colored woman, many of her nationality show their intervst in the pro- ceedinge. The plaintiff, Thomas Frederick Bell, commonly cailed Fred Bell, was called to the witness-stand yesterday morning. He corroborated the testimony of all the pre vious witnesses in regard to the poor | quality of the food served tothe children alter toeir father's deatii, and a reed with the others in saying that this changze was made in accordance with the orders issued by “Mammy” Pieasant, who ob- tained absolute control of the B:ll house- bold afier Bell's death. After going into the details of the al- leged insufficiency of the food, and telling that tie had to go to a friend’s house in or- der to get a square meal once a day, voung Bell gave an account of his finan- cial dealings with the estate of his father, incidentally touching on the matier of guardianship now held by his mother, but which, he says, she has shown herself in- competent to manage, since she allows “Mammy'’ Pleasaut to dominate Ler to the detriment of her children and the im- poverisnment of the estate. Young Bell describea his long illness that followed after his falling over ihe bannisters, and said tbat was the first time he had a cuance to think over his father’s affairs, so he determined to wrest the mana-ement from the control of Mrs. Pleasant it pos-ible. A remarkabie letter from Mrs. Bell to ber son was read during the day’s pro- ceedings. It contained a list of expendi- tures, real or imaginary, which included $4800 interest on a loan of $4000 on Mrs. Bell’s jewelry. The letter said that of all her children” only Rovina would zive ber adrink of water wiliingly. All the others were lacking in affection for her.

Do you know the meaning of what is popularly called those ‘‘long- ings,” or cravings, which beset so many women during pregnancy? There is something lacking in the R, on mother’s blood.

She says: . *“From the time I was sixteen years old till I was twenty-three, I was troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when my monthly I made up my mind to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and was soon relieved. After I was married, the doctor said I would never be able to go my full time and have a living child, as 1 was constitutionally weak.

THERESA BEL Young Bell continued teiling of similar deceptions practiced by Mrs, Pleasant turough ali the years since the death of Bell Sr., by which the substance of Mrs. Bell has been transferred to the coffers of | the former housekeeper, but now the | houseruler of the Bell mansion. The | young man said that once when he took | $209 out of an allowance of §4209 Mrs, Pieasant called him a thief, thougu she had no right to do =0, as she was only a servant in the hous: so far as he knew, zive up to her ail the money he had in his pocket. That money was part of the family allowance given to the children by the Probate Court. Although Mrs. Pleas- ant received over $8000 in one week in November the food served to the children was etili of an inferior quality. They did not have even one gooi meal out-of the | morey, but he knew thatalot of it went to pay interest on a morigage on Mrs, in this city. She the remainder asshe pleased.
