Deputy Dean Declares That His Name on Fraudulent Cer- tificates Is Rank Forgery. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %S Broadways Aug. 18. It is being positively asserted —to-day and as positively denled that blank cer- tificates of reglstration signed by Depu- | tv County Clerk Dean and bearing the seal of the County Clerk's office were | placed in various saloons yesterday and were used in the interests of Victor Met- calf. This claim, of course, is being made by the friends of Mr. Hilborn, prominent | among whom are A. M. Benham and | Dr. Derrick. This afternoon one of these blank cer- kot tificates bearing the seal of the County Clerk was brought to the Clerk’s office, but it bore no signature. Yesterday Clerk Jordan and Mr. Metcalf's managers of- fered a reward of $50 for each of these blank certificates that could be pro- duced, but so far not one has been found with a signature to it. It is said that A. M. Benham had one in his possesion sign- ed by Deputy Clerk Dean, and Attorney Ben Woolner stated in the County Clerk’s office this afternoon that he had been in- | formed by Dr. Selfridge that thirty of | these blank certificates were in the pos- | sesston of parties who would produce | them at the right time. Mr. Jordan lined up his clerks this af- ternoon and satisfied himself that no such underhanded work had been done. He accounted for the certificate with the seal upon_it, but with no signature, by say- ing that the seal of his office is on a ta- ble where it is not impossible for any one desiring to put up a job to stamp a few blank certificates. Incidentally Mr. Jordan suggested that Will Hawkett might know something about the stamp- ing of such certificates. | “'This scheme is a most discreditable ef- fort on lhef&rt of men who cannot fight fairly,” said Clerk Jordan. “I am posi- tive that nothing was done to aid either man in yesterday's fight so far as the machinery of the County Clerk’s office is concerned. No doubt as citizens we all had strong personal preferences, but | 1 defy any man to produce & blank cer- | tificate with the genuine signature of | one of my deputies upon it.” | As Mr. Jordan is a candidate to suc- ceed himself, his friends declare at this charge is belng made to injure him in his own ward. r. Jordan comes from the Seventh Ward, where Mr. Hilborn also lives and is particularly strong. Yes- terday Mr. Hilborn only lost the ward by forty-seven votes, and should his friends pe induced to oppose Mr. Jordan through the circulation of the story that Jordan had used his office a5 he had used his per- sonal influence to ald Mr. Metcalf, the consequences in the county campalgn would be very manifest. Deputy Clerk Dean made a positive de- nial that he signed a single certificate that was blank, and he unegulvocally de- clares that any such signature is a for- | ery. gA?ong “politicians’ row” this subject has aroused the greatest interest and bitterness, and its adjustment must now endoubtedly cut some figure in the fight for the County Clerk’s nomination.

ALAMEDA, Aug. 18.—Mrs. Nellle M. Holden of 2304 Buena Vista avenue is miseing, and is believed to have com- mitted suicide in San Francisco, if a note in her own handwriting means anything. This morning Attorney R. B. Tappan, who had transacted business for the lady, recelved a letter bearing the San Fran- | cisco postmark and written on CUff House paper, in which she sald that long be- | fore he received the missive she would | be dead. Among other things she said that she | had loaned money to people who had not paid her; that she was worried more than she could stand, and that “her brain was reeling.” She inclosed some papers for Mr. Tap- pan, gave him some instructions about business matters, and concluded by say- | ing that the ocean was the best place for | her, and she had decided to leave the world in that way, Mr. Tai) an at once notified the rela- tives of Mrs. Holden, and a search was instituted. The CUff House was visited, and it was found that the stationery of that place was readily obtalnable by any one who cared to use it. Inquiry showed that some of the attendants had noticed a lady who might have been the missing one, and that their attention had been drawn to her several times of late be- cause of her strange actions. However, their description was somewhat vague and was not sufficlently clear to make it | certain that it was Mrs. Holden. | The missing woman was employed as | bookkeeper and cashier in the real es- tate office of T. A. Smith, to whom she was related by marriage. She left last week—Thursday, August 11—ostensibly for a vacation p to Sonoma County, and the letter celved by Mr. Tappan was the first intimation that she had not one there. Absolutely nothlni could be [earned that would throw any light upon the cause of her conduct. Mrs. Holden was about 45 or 60 years of age, medium sized, dark complex- joned, with black hair mingled with gray. ls:he wore curls on the side of her fore- ead. The missing woman was the widow of ex-Governor Willlam Holden of this State. She had uwn{a been of a cheerful disposition untll within a few weeks, when she had appeared to be suffering from depression from overwork. THE IRISH FAIR.

E. Dunne as Miss Erin, escorted by 8. 8. Flynn In the habil- iments of Uncle Sam. as attendant to Miss Erin will be Daniel C. D. McCarthy, carrying the Irish flag. Abreast of him will be Benjamin McKinley, tne Presi- dent’s nephew. with the American flag. Every feature of the fair will be a nov- elty and at the same time relative to some event or historic scene of Ireland. The music, the addresses, the costums and all that tends to relieve the monotony of a stereotyped exposition will be of a bright and atfractive nature. ——e——————— The Love-Stricken Seaman.

It may be that the court will have to decide the question. — e e—— Will Attend the Traffic Meeting. M. M.

In a letter from Francis Tagliabue, Deputy United States Surveyor, the following occurs: *“The news here is quite encouraging. Several discover- ies are reported on the Nootak and Kowak rivers.” When the steamer Grace Dollar left Kotzebue Sound none of the river boats had started, but the Falkenberg’'s was to leave the next day. No prospecting could have been done, so it is hard to say where the news of the complete failure of the new fields came from. A big fleet of vessels Tuesday night and yesterday morning. The British ship Waterloo made a smart passage of 56 days from New- castle, N. S. W., while the Dalhousie was 76 days coming from the same place. The Waterloo was only 30 days getting to the latitude of Hawall, and the captain expected to make a record-breaking run. The brig Galilee was 36 days from Tahiti, the bark Al- bert 25 days from Hilo and the Roder- ick Dhu 26 days from the same place. Both vessels left together. ~As the Al- bert ranks as a clipper, it will be seen that the Roderick Dhu is not slow. The | Ottillie Fjord was 33 days from Kahu- | lui and the schooner Aloha 28, and the ship Marie Hackfeld 27 days from Hon- olulu. The British ship Falls of Halladale and the Italian bark Macdiarnied left Hull together on May 22. They are now out eighty-eight days for this port and when Jast seen were making a very close race. Three schooners with gold hunters are still scheduled to arrive from the Bast. Of these the Mildred E., now out 161 days from Boston, is the only one likely to get here. The Actaea party, when last heard from, was stranded at Buenos Ayres and the Sto- well Sherman’s crowd was in the same predicament at Montevideo. The Ac- taea is 174 days out from New York and the Sherman 268 days from Boston. Willilam A. H. Chenowgth and a party of five left this city last spring for the Klondike and yesterday a pri- vate letter was recelved stating that they had arrived at Dawson after an experience in which they nearly all lost their lives. The party left Juneau and at Big Salmon their scow was wrecked and the entire outfit was lost. J. Jor- dan lost a restaurant outfit worth about $6000 and the others felt they were lucky in escaping with thelr lives. While on the trail on the American side they discovered the body of a man who was identified as Dr. Brooks, a dentist of this city, who left here last February for Dawson. It was belleved that the man had broken through the ice of the river and that the remains had floated down the stream. They had apparently been in the water about ten days. POLICE INSPIRE NO FEAR. Two Thieves Rifle the Cabin of a Schooner in Broad Daylight, While H. Kammermann was engaged in unloading a schooner In the channel of the San Joaquin Brick Company’'s wharf yesterday morning two men strolled aboard the boat, and claiming to have known him before, engaged him .in conversation. After a few minutes one of the men disappeared and finally the other shook hands cordially with Kam- mermann and walked away, promising to “see him later.” When Kammermann went down into the cabin half an hour later. he found everytning -topsy-turvy and at once sus- pected that something was wrong. On going through his clothes he found that a handsome gold watch and a few dollars in cash had been taken. He does not know the name of the men, but could identify them should he see them again. —_—————————— Friends of the Animals.

Of course ac- cusations_of all kinds will be made at the meeting. One road will charge an- other with having cut rates in the past, while the other will retaliate in a similar vein, but the end.of it will be that we will all agree to stick to the existing schedule and promise to sin no more. The business of the meeting will be confined to the discussion of freight rates alone, and all other questions will be excluded entirely. e THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS.
