The Mechanical Circus Here. Mrs. Florence Blythe-Hinckley, heir- ess of the millions of the late Thomas Blythe, settled her indebtedness to the butcher, the baker, the candlestfck- maker, the lawyers, the doctors and even the money-lenders, by executing more than a score of mortgages on her Market-street holdings yesterday. Before the courts gave Mrs. Blythe- Hinckley the decree that placed her in possession of the vast estate, money was not too plentiful with the young heiress, and she borrowed and went into debt in all directions. Since that time Simpson & Millar, the searchers of records, have been looking into the deeds of the property, and it was on their report that the mortgages were arranged.

He is known from one end of the world to the other, and one time was one of the most successful masters in the Cali- fornia trade. Once, however, he was arrested in Honolulu for smuggling, and his vessel was seized. He got out of that trouble, but was arrested here for trying to land four Chinese.

SAN QUENTIN JUTE SACKS. | Prison Directors Fix the Price for the Season at $5.30 Per Hundred. The Board of State Prison Directors held a special meeting at the office of Daniel E. Hayes on First street Tuesday for the purpose of fixing the price on grain bags for the season. With the ex- ception of Robert T. Devlin there was present a full board. 4 The directors responding to their names were Robert Fitzgerald, James H. Wil- kins, Daniel E. Hayes and Donald Rey, the new director, who has takenghe seat left vacant by the retirement of Edgar J. De Pue. The chairman explained that the pur- pose of the meeting was solely to con- sider the fixing of a price on the grain | bags manufactured at the San Quentin jutemill. After some consideration $5 30 er hundred was n.ireed upon. This price s slightly under the cost of production | plus 1 cent. The directors further made an order that no sale exceeding 5000 bags should be made to a single party. This the di- rectors believe is a strict construction of the Ostrum act, which they intend to abide by. The receipt of orders for grain bags is not so large as usual, owing to the crop prospects. —————— Went Hunting in the Park.
