v THE SAN FRANCISCO .CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1898. b tion was awarded to the firm of Erickson Bros. and the western section was secured by Buckman & Kelso. The time allowed for the completion of the work is untl September, 183, and the amount of the bonds required $50,000 in each case. The reason for the rather extended length of time allowed in the contracts is that it will be necessary to cut three small tun- nels on the work, one on the eastern sec- tion and two on the western. There were six bids for the work, but as the terms of the firms that will do the work were the most satisfactory they succeeded in se- curing the prize.

Sales are scattering and generally for small amounts. Hardly a week passes, however, that some large transaction does not mark an oasis along the dull line of march. Two or three of some magnitude will be mentioned else- where in this column. The San Martin rancho, in Santa Clara County, lying generally between San Jose and Gilroy, and consisting of numerous parcels making a whole of 2480.7 acres, has been bought in at foreclosure sale, held in Easton, El- dridge & Co.’s offices, by the San Fran- cisco Savings Union for $158,000. The land was originally bought from Dan- iel Murphy by C. H. Phillips. It is mostly good fruit land. E. B. Pond and H. C. Campbell, as trustees of the San Francisco Savings Union, held the property in trust on a loan, the inter- est and principal of whichhad amount- ed to $160,100. After the legal notice was read, an hour being consumed in the laborious technicality, the land was offered in parcels. Outside com- petition was had on two parcels, which sold respectively for $700 and $1400. The rest was bought in in a lump by the Savings Union trustees for $1568,000. A number of parcels have already been disposed of by Phillips under contracts of sale, and where balances are due they will go to the Savings Union. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS. During the week there were 64 mort- gages and trust deeds recorded, amount- ing to $188,300. For the same period 48 re- leases and reconveyances passed to rec- ord, in the total sum of $254,655. “The principal mortgages and trust deeds were as follows: By Edward Rolkin to David, Hugo D., Edward A. and Oscar C.

The following sales are reported as FOUR WOMEN EVICTED. TUnder circumstances painfully embarrassing ten deputies from the Sheriff’s office evicted four women, two of whom were sick, from their home at 3928 Seventeenth street yesterday. The evicted were Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Mathal and her daughters Lulu, Rose and Julia, the latter an invalid for many years. The mother is sixty-eight years of age and for months has not been out of the house but twice. The circumstances under which the roof was taken from over the heads of these women are peculiar and pathetic. At least it proved so to the deputies who carried the household effects out upon the street while the two sick women screamed and passed from one convulsion to another as they saw the operation of the arm of the law. It was not for rent due. They lost their home In which they had lived for eigh* years by the foreclosure of & mortgage held by the Hibernia Savings and Loan Soclety. Six vears ago the eldest daughter, Rose, so the old mother says, caused her to place a mortgage on the house in favor of the bank for $5800, and, as the women say, the interest on the money has been paid with promptness. A little over a year ago an action to foreclose the lien on the property was begun, and although several lawyers were em- ployed to defend the action judgment was had by default, and the younger women were warnedto move as the bankhad bought theproperty at the Sheriff's sale. Twice were extensions of time granted and elapsed, but still the occupants refused to leave. At last the aid of the Sheriff was invoked, and yesterday an order of eviction was executed. It was not until the Sheriff’s men appeared at the door that the old woman knew that there had been either suit, sale or order to leave. Then she broke down and her cries of distress could be heard all over the block The invalid daughter, Julia, became equally distressed, and after shrieking to the top of her volce for a few minutes she went from one convulsion to another until prostrated. At last a Kkind-hearted neighbor took compassion upon the sick women and had them taken to her home near by. Bureaus, beds, tables, trunks, chairs, pictures, a piano and articles of household goods and bric-a-brac, the accumula- tions of many years, were piled out upon the street by the officers. The women seemed demoralized and refused to take any advite as to the * storing of their goods until such a time as they could move to Napa, where they say they own a large tract of land and a valuable magnesia mine worth thousands of dollars. They tell a strange story to the effect that they own 640 acres of timber and grazing lands in Tehama County, besides large realty in Napa and twenty-two lots on the Corbett road. Some of this land they say they would sell, but are unable to get anything for it. According to the women’s story their father and mother have not lived together for a long time. The father is J. C. §. Mathai, and he and their brother are now living in Napa. Late last evening the household goods were moved away for storage, and the homeless women were given shelter by friends. : made by G. H.

Property-owners south of the park have at last secured the sewer for which they have worked so long. The first sec- tion, on H street, between Seventh and Fourteenth avenues, has been let for $15,000. Strikers Are Quiet. There was little or no perceptible change in the condition of the striking printers yesterday, unless perhaps the prevalence of a number of wild rumors from employers that men were going back, and from printers that the Typo- thetae were on the point of acceeding to their demands, but none of these could be authenticated. The printers deny that taey have been boycofting, but say that boycotting has been started on the other side. The manager of a firm of eleccro- typers, who has acceeded to the nine-hour s2a'e, says that members of the Typa- thetae have informed him that he wiil get no more of their work unless he starts in to fight the union. Many of tke strikers who were entitled to benefits have declined to draw on them as yet, preferring to have the amount credited to them as dues and thus keep it in the treasury. The shops are all tunn(n?, bui few if any have on a full force of men and the proprietors still have hopes of etting their old hands back, either by a girect withdrawal from the union or through a compromise, but the men seem firm and say they will only go back when their demands are acceded to. B A Honor to a Teacher’s Memory. On Friday the flag over the Columbia Grammar School of this city will fly at half-mast, and exercises in memory of Miss Sarah Donnelly, who taught there for seven years, and who was one of the most esteemed of its teachers, will be held. Miss Donnelly died on March 26, after a short illness. She was beloved by teachers and children alike, and so Friday next has been set as a time when both can do honor to her memory. There will be remarks by various members of the School Department and by teachers of the school and its principal rs. L. R. Burke, and Miss Donnelly’s class will sing the last song she taught it. The ex- ercises will commence at 4 o'clock and will be open to all Miss Donnelly’s friends. A FAIR FIGHT AND NO FAVOR Jeffries and Sharkey Signed to Abide by the Referee’s Decision. Alexander Greggains Selected to Fill a by No Means Position. Easy round boxing contest on the evening of May 6 is now a settled fact, barring unforeseen events. Last evening Billy Delaney, director- general of Jeffries’ affairs pugilistic, met Tom McDonald, the spokesman for Tom Sharkey, and also the directors of the National Athletic Club, at the Bald- win Hotel, and articles were drawn up and signed by the representatives of the pugilists and the club. They were of the same purport as was stated in yesterday's Call, excepting ists, on behalf of Referee Greggains, had included in the agreement the fol- lowing section, viz.: “That when ordered to break from a clinch the contestants must obey the command of the referee, and that the contestant who persists in holding his opponent after being duly cautioned by the referee will stand a risk of having the match declared against him. Either man can hit his opponent when both arms are free.” The Queensberry rules, under which the men will fight, state that a con- testant must be considered down when he has one knee on the floor or when he is hanging helpless on the ropes. The articles also state that the fight- ers or their representatives and the of $1000 each as guarantees of good faith and that in the event of any in- terference the referee must declare the match in favor of the contestant who | has had in his judgment the petter of the game up to that juncture. It was further agreed that the pugil- ists may use bandages on their bands if they so desire. The Queensberry rules will be published in the official programme S0 that the spectators may fully understand what is meant by foyl fighting. ' Billy Delaney remarked after the ar: | ticles had been signed and the con- course of interested spectators had dispersed that Jeffries had made up his mind to put up a fair fight from start to finish and that if Sharkey, by an oversight or a display of poor judg- ment, should transgress the rules he (Sharkey) would find his opponent ready to play any kind of a game known to “the profession.’ Sharkey, however, is fully aware of the fact that the sporting people of this city do not favor any kind of pugilism The Sharkey and Jeffries twenty- | that the representatives of the pugil- | club must deposit on April 23 the sum | where rough tactics are employed by a pugilist in the hope thereby of win- ning a quick victory, consequently. he has trained and is now being coached by Stelzner and Baker with the object in view of making a clean stand-off fight and obeying the commands of the referee. Sharkey will remain in Vallejo until ten' days before the day selected for th~ battle, when he will return to this city and complete his training at a training station near the Cliff House.
