Then the husband approached coffin, and seeing that the woman’s rings were still on her finger, he de- clared his intention of taking them off. | The brothers vowed he should not, and | in the presence of his dead wife Cediey wrangled for the paltry jewels he be- grudged the grave. Then Cediey’s nephew, Frank Orr, joined in the pro- ceedings, agd there would have been more than words if a young man by the name of Doran had not come for- ward and demanded peace.

Cedley started out to secure warrants for the arrest of the brothers, but they were not served yesterda.: the ADVERTISEMENTS.

Fifield Invokes the Supreme Court to Enjoin Judge Hebbard. W. J. Fifield, a property owner in San | Mateo County, invoked the aid of the Su- preme Court yesterday to enjoin Judge Hebbard from proceeding in the matter of the Spring Valley Water Company from diverting any of the water flowing through San Andreas Creek, in San Ma- teo County. The petition recites that some time ago, before Judge Hebbard, Fifield began a suit against the water company. Fifield in his complaint asserted that he was the possessor of certain property in San Ma- teo County through which ‘San Andreas Creek flowed; that he was entitled, therefore, to the use of the water in said creek, but that the Spring Valley Com- pany had sought, by building a flume, to divert the stream whereby . the water STEAMERS FOR THE YUKON Four Stern-Wheelers and Six Barges Going Up on the Sintram.

The first of the new river steamers and barges for use on the Yuken are now being loaded into the ship Sin- | tram at Spear-street wharf. There are four steamers and six barges in all, and their building has not taken much over seven weeks. T. P. H. Whitelaw se- cured the contract from the Alaska Ex- ploration Compar and will more than fulfill his promise tc have the boats un- i der way for Dutch Harbor by March 1. Three ,of the steamers are 182 feet long, 36 feet 6 inches broad and 7 feet 6 inches deep, and will carry 350 tons of freight on a four-foot draft. The other steamer is 150 feet long, 36 feet 6 inches bad and 7 feet 6 inches deep, and will 50 tons of freight on a four-foot while the barges are 145 feet 32 feet 6 inches broad and 7 feet 6 inches deep, and will each carry 400 tons of freight. The steamers and barges have been built in sections, and 100 machinists, carpenters and painters will go up on the Sintram to put them together at Dutch Harbor. The Sin- tram will be towed north by the tug Fearless. Mr. Whitelaw will go north with the ship, and when the steamers and barges have been put together and on their way to St. Michael he and his men will return to San Francisco on her. The has been secured by the Alaska-Yukon Transportation Company, and will run between San Framncisco and Dyea and Skaguay direct. No stops at way ports are to be made, and passengers Irom here will have to handle their freight once only. The Dirigo will be splen- didly fitted out as a passenger . boat, and will make quick time on all her trips. She will get away on her maiden ze on March 1. The same compa- ny’s steamer National City leaves to- day with 148 passengers, and among dra long, her freight will be 161 dogs, two horses | and four mules. Captaln Anderson, who made the fastest trip of the sea- son last year, goes out as master of the National City, and Charles Jenkins, formerly chief clerk of the Hollenbeck ifotel, Los Angeles, goes as purser. Among those who will leave for St. Michael on the Rufus E. Wood will be a party of twelve from Los Angeles. They will take with them a fifty-foot | stern-wheel steamer and will make their heme on it until all their for- tunes are made. The heads of the con- H. C. Register, manager; A.

Sargent is having her ’tween decks strengthened and is re- ceiving a thorough overhauling at Lit- tle Main street. The British ship Star of Italy was placed on the Merchants dry dock yes- terday for inspection. If everything is atisfactory she will be put under J. J. Moore & Co.’s flag. One of the resuits of the rush to the Klondike is the advance in passenger rates to FEureka. The Homer was | placed temporarily on the run in place of the Pomona, but as the wreck of the Corona will keep that vessel on the the Homer will con- tinue on the Eureka run. Then the &lumboldt was chartered for the Klon- dike trade and that left only the North Fork and Homer in the business. In consequence the steam schooner has advanced her rates $2 50 for a first- class passage. The Harbor Commissioners held a short session yesterday and decided to have the seal of California put in the floor of the grand nave of the new fer- ry depot in mosaic. The job was let to Braider & Posquali for $800. The his- tory of the building is also to be put in a brass frame and fastened to the wall near the seal. The Harbor Light and Improvement Company wants the contract for light- ing the water front from April 1, but the Commissioners took no action in the matter. C. F. McCarthy & Co.’s bill for $487 35 was allowed. The con- crete in the rear galleries and floor of the waiting room of the new depot was made an inch thick, instead of three- quarters of an inch, and at first Com- handsome new steamer Dirigo | might be collected in a reservoir. As a esult of the litigation Judge Hebbard ued a decree to the effect that Fifield was entitled to the ordinary flow of the | ter, but that all the water resulting | from the greater flow, due to storms or the water company. His Honor further found that the water company never in- tended to use the ordinary flow, but that the plaintiff was entitled to an injunction preventing the use of this supply. How- ever, Attorney Morgan asked that Judge Hebbard issue a permanent injunction directed against the Spring Valley Com- pany forbidding it to use any of the wa- ter in San Andreas Creek. This his Honor refusad to do, hence the appeal to the higher tribunal. R o — WILL CAVORT ON THE DIAMOND 01d-Time Players Volunteer Their Services in Behalf of Tom Power.

A. Ronaldo Velensuela Landed in Prison by Captain Bohen. Arrested While in the Company of Pedro Chavalow, His @® Intended Victim. BOUND FORTHE KLONDIKE The Dark Plot Was Hatched by a Woman in Tucson, Arizona. 1 Through the arrest of A. Ronaldo! Velensuela last night, the police say | they have unearthed a deep-laid con- | spiracy to murder and rob an old man | for the purpose of getting possession of | his money. The intended victim of the | dark plot is Pedro Chavalow, an aged Frenchman, who arrived here a short | time ago from Tucson, Ariz. | Several days ago Chief Lees received | the following communication from City | Marshal Finley of Tuscon: I have a favor to ask you which I trust | ou will grant. There arrived in your city on or about January 30 a Mexican amed A. Ronaldo Velensuela. I believe he is stopping at the Brooklyn Hotel. He | is awaiting the arrival of an old French- | man named Pedro Chavalow. The lat- ter should arrive in San Francisco about the Sth or 10th of this month. He and Velensuela are to go to Aiaska. The Frenchmaun is worth about $75,000 and | carries a life insurance policy for $25,000. | Since their departure from here I am in- formed that the Mexican and the French- man’s wife have conspired to take the old man to the Klondike, where he is to be killed so that they can get his prop- erty and insurance. I know the woman to be a tough char- acter, and I am working hard to get suf- ficient evidence to warrant her arrest. I can do nothing with them until I obtain additional proof. I wish you would find out if they have already gone to Alaska, and the name of the steamship | they took. Also whether or net they went together. The Mexican might have the old man in San Francisco. Yours sin- cerely. SAM FINLEY, City Marshal. Chief Lees, after perusing the letter, turned it over to Captain Bohen. The latter sent for Detectives Tom Gibson and Dillon,and after a short conference they decided to act at once. The chief of detectives went to the Brooklyn Ho- tel and found the names of Velenzuela and his alleged victim on the register. He stationed Gibson and Dillon In the office of the hotel while he went to the were net in, and fearing that the old man had already been done away with Bohen, determined not to allow the sus- pected murderer ‘to escape, sent his men to guard the Oakland ferry. Shortly after 9 o’clock last night the | aged Frenchman and Velensuela re- | | turned to the hotel and were met by two detectives. They were at once taken to police headquarters, where they were closely guestioned by the | DRO CHAVALAW. chief of detectives. Velensuela did not appear surprised when told why he had been arrested. “It is all a mistake,” he remarked, puffing away at a cigar. “I'll be able to establish my innocence at the prop- er time.” In answer to Captain Bohen's ques- tions, he said he was an attorney at law, and that he had been sent here by Mrs. Chavalow to discourage her husband from going to the Klondike. “I trled to dissuade him from mak- ing the trip, he remarked, “and as he seemed determined I concluded to go with him. We had already made ar- rangements for provisions, and intend- ed to leave on the next steamer.” Velensuela exhibited a letter which he received yesterday morning from the wife of his intended victim. She asked him not to allow the “old man” to go to Alaska, as he “would surely die there.” Velensuela made several contradictory statements when closely questioned by the detective, To an interpreter Chavalow said that he left Arizona he gave Velensuela Alaska gold fields. He said that before he left Arizona he gave Vellensuela $180,- expecting that he would follow him. Since his arrival here Chavalow claims he gave Velensuala $350, which he sent to a cousin, who lives in Tuc- son. The innocent Frenchman pro- fessed absolute ignorance of the al- leged conspiracy and seemed much de- pressed when told of it. Yesterday ,morning, he said, Velen- suela took him for a drive down the country and showed him many “beau- tiful farms.” The alleged conspirator was placed in the tanks, and will be held pending further investigation. Late last night Captain Bohen re- ceived the following telegraphic mes- sage from City Marshal Finley: Tell the old Frenchman I wrote to you about to come to Tucson at once, as I e —————————————————————————————————————————— The fac-simile signature of 2t T is on every wrapper of CASTORIA. rooms occupied by the men.

School Director Waller was in Judge Belcher’s court bright and early yester- day morning for the purpose of giving himself up and obtaining his release from custody at the same time. It will be re- membered that on Thursday afternoon ‘Waller was ready to present his bond with his two sureties, Thomas Burns and Joseph F. Naphtaly, each of whom had qualified for $5000, but there being no court open and no judge avallable the whole matter was postponed tiil the next day. on hand so punctually yesterday, for he wished to avoid any unpleasant conse- quences to himself, and everything was arranged in the most pleasant manner imaginable for the School Director who is under indictment for a felony in asking a bribe, and from subsequent events it 1s is_he. B0 he came into Judge Belcher’s court for judicial approvel, at the same time asking for an order of release. The judge cast his eagle eye over the document, and seeing that it was in proper shape and conformed to all legal requirements, ac- cepted the bond without any further dg- lay. Fhe order of release was made out by Judge Beicher and Waller then went down stairs with it to the office of Chief of release to the prison, where it was en- tered on the book and School Director ‘Waller was again a free man, although it can not be said that he was at any time really deprived of his liberty. But Wailer being a city and county offi- clal is probably entitled to the little cour- tesies which other officials can extend in the hour of need, and in Waller’s case the whole affair was as serene and quiet as a soclal function.

HART 1A RESICNED The Local Board of Health Is Now Short One Member. Departure for the East for an Indefinite Period the Reason. Governor Budd Inspects the Alms- house Tract With the Board. Governor Budd will have the pleasure of appointing a new member of the Board of Health as soon as he can de- cide on a successor for Dr. H. H. Hart, who tendered his resignation as a mem- ber of that department yesterday. Dr. Hart chose a most auspicious oc- casion for his retirement from the field of local municipal affairs, Governor Budd, Mayor Phelan, president of the board, and the other members being present, as well as Health Officer O'Brien and several invited guests. The resignation took place at the Alms- house during the progress of a dinner that had been tendered to those present by Superintendent Reddy. The party was at the Almshouse to inspect the tract on which the city poorhouse is sit- uated, for the purpose of selecting a site for the City and County Hospital, which the Board of Supervisors has de- cided to locate on the grounds. ‘While the repast was in progress, Dr. Hart arose and surprised most of those present by announcing that he intend- ed to leave San Francisco for an in- definite period, and that he was con- strained by the circumstances to ten- der his resignation as a member of the board. He feelingly recalled the pleasant re- lations he had sustained with his fel- low members and expressed regret that he must sever his relations with them. He also went over the history of a number of actions of the board that had redounded to the credit of the body and the advantage of the city, and ex- pressed the hope that the good work might continue. Dr. Hart's resigna- tion will be accepted at the next regu- lar session of the board. Other mem- bers of the board made addresses con- gratulating the retiring member on his efforts in promoting the health of San Francisco, and wishing him every suc- cess in his new field. It is understood by Dr. Hart's close friends that while his visit to the East is ostensibly a vacation, it is quite pos- sible that he may remain, in case a larger fleld for his labors develops. It is an open question who will be ap- pointed to take Dr. Hart's place, and Governor Budd says he has not as yet made up his mind about the matter. The party of inspection on the City and County Hospital question made a long and thorough tour of the grounds and will decide. about the matter at an early date. —_—— Breaking Customs Seals.
