UNEXPECTED DEATH OF OFFICER ALLEN Was Only Twenty-Eight Years Old and the Sole Support of a Widowed Mother. Officer C. A. Allen of the California- street police station dled vesterday in St. Luke's Hospital of typhoid pneumonia. Deceased was only 28 years old and had been on the police force three years, de- tailed on the Mason street beat. He was taken sick only a few days ago and his death s a surprise to his friends. He was a very popular officer and his reputation was of the best. His sudden taking away has been rendered all the sadder because he was the sole support of his widowed mother, with whom he resided at 1141 Point Lobos avenue. ROMANCE ON THE MAIL STEAMSHIP CITY OF PEKING Chief Officer Bucknam to Wed Edna Farrell of the Opera-House. Steamers and Sailing Vessels Getting Ready for Nome—Accidents on the Front—Trouble Over Stowing Cargo. PRl 7E S 200 e e e i i e e ] 8y o MISS EDNA FARRELL. Qeo et 0600000600 The Mall steamer City of Peking salled for the Orient yesterday. She carried a fair number of passengers and was loaded to the guards with freight. Quite a num- ber of fair maidens from the Grand Opera-house were down to see the big liner sail. Among them was Miss Edna Farrell, whom rumor says is going to marry Chief Officer R. Bucknam of the Mail boat. Everybody knows of Miss Far- rell. and Captain Bucknam is equally well ¥nown among shipping men. He was for- merly master of the whaleback City of Everett, but left that vessel to enter the Mail Company’s service. He was captain of the port at Panama for a year, and on coming home on account of ill health was appointed to the Peking. Among the passengers who went away on the Peking was E. Vonck, the owner and manager of the largest sugar planta- tion in Java. He has been all over the world inspecting refineries and picking up information. As the result of his travels he says the finest sugar manufacturing plant in the world is at Watsonville. Cap- tain Merry, who goes to Honolulu to take charge of the naval station at that port, was another passenger, and Miss Mc. Clure, daughter of the chief engineer of the Peking, will make the round trip on the steamer. A big fieet of vessels is being got read; for the Nome trade. The well found bar! Alaska is bnin{ fitted out at Harrison- street wharf; the barkentine Catherine Sudden at Mission-street wharf; the steam scheoner Alliance is having a deck- house built on her at the Folsom-street bulkhead; the schooner Volante is ready for freight, while the steam whalers Thrasher, Jeanette and Mary D. Hume are ready for an immediate start.for the g0ld fields. These three vessels will prob- ably be the first to reach Nome, and fol- lowing them very close will be the bark Alaska. ‘'The whalers are only carrying a favored few, and the Alaska has nearly all her accommodation sold. The other vessels are also filling up fast. The schooner Sophie Sutherland has been sold to _the Pacific Steam Whalin, Company. She will be overhauled an m"l“{x be sent north with supplies to Nome. ere was a chapter of accidents on the front yesterday. PthP Olsen of the steamer Hathor had his thumb cut off. The hatch fell on it and took the member off close to the palm of the hand. He was treated by Dr. Hopper at the Harbor Hoa- pital.

Cars Will Be Leased in the Future on a Mileage Schedule and Not Run Jointly as Here- tofore. ARy A A deal has just been consummated In New York between C. P. Huntington and the Pullman Palace Car Company by which the latter comes into absolute con- trol of all the Pullman cars used on the Southern Pacific Company's lines. This change, which has been rumored for the last year and a half, involves the transfer to the Pullman Car Company of the three-fourths iuterest in the Pullman cars used on the Southern Paciflc tracks. Previous to 1883 the Southern Pacific Company ran its own sleeping cars under the name of the Silver palace cars. In that year a deal was entered into between them and the Pullman people by which the Southern Pacific agreed to sub- stitute Pullmans for their old - car service on the condition of being allowed to own _a three-fourths in- terest in all the Pullman rolling stock used on their roads. They pald three- fourths of the cost of the cars, the same proportion of the expenses of running them and divided the accruing profits at the same ratio. This contract, which was for fifteen vears, expired in 189, and nego- tlations have been going on ever since be- tween the two companies for the sale of the entire interest to one or the other of them. Pending the culmination of these negotiations the old contract was by mu- tual agreement continued in force. The recent sale is the end of the matter, and henceforth the management of the whole business will be in the hands of the Pullmans. The sale affects the transfer of about seventy-five cars and the payment of $1,500,000. In the future the Southern Pacific Com- pany will hire cars from the Pullman peo- ple In such numbers as they are required. The conduct and entire management of these cars will be in the hands of the Pullman Company, who will run them in all their details, ‘merely being paid so much by the Southern Paclfic Company for the time they are used in the transpor- tation of the latter company’s passengers. Presumably the payment for their hire will be based on a mileage schedule. This arrangement will benefit the trav- eling public from the fact that it will Ernhably result in a better class of cars eing put on the run. Heretofore it was to the interest of both the Pullman people and the Southern Pacific .Company to economize as much as possible and to use the cheapest and the oldest cars that the traveling public would stand for. Now it will be to the interest of the Southern Pacific to make their road as attractive as any other and to get the best the Pull- mans have to offer. [ e e S SCE S StCe S ] and attended to at the Harbor Hospital by Drs. Hopper and Deas. The revenue cutter McCulloch sailed for Monterey yesterday on a practice cruise. The Norwegian steamer Leander was delayed three days owing to the insuronce companies objecting to the manner in which the cargo was stowed. The two launches built by the Fulton Iron Works for P. W, Mordin & Co. of Siberia were the bone of contention. They were not properly placed on deck, and the agents of the vessel had to go to considerable ex- pense in getting the matter satisfactorily adjusted. All of the quarantined fleet are still off Angel Island. The Duke of Fife will be released on Saturday and will go to the Presidio to discharge the remains of rthe soldiers now aboard. The Gaelic is still held because the result of the experiments with the blood taken from the sick Centennial on Sunday. The stern-wheeler Caroline, that went out to the Gaelic when she came in, was also quarantined, but she will be released to-day. These are busy times for Dr. Kinyoun. CARRIE C. SANKEY” ESTATE IN PROBATE Her Death Recalls the Interesting Litigation by Which She Re- covered a Large Fortune. Public Administrator Boland has applied for letters of administration upon the estate of Carrie C. Sankey, who died sud- denly at the home of K. A. Lundstrom on Tuesday afternoon. A few months ago Miss Sankey was the plaintiff in a sensa- tional suit brought to compel Mr. and Mrs. Charles Coggins to reconvey prop- erty valued at $40,000 which she had deed- ed to them under undue influence. The | trial of the case lasted several weeks and | Miss Sankey was the victor. It was proved that in addition to conveying the roperty in_question Miss Sankey also Bore tha major portion of the expenses of the Coggins household and furnished the defendants with other than necessities. Coggins was Miss Sankey's guardian, and he contested her suit with vigor, but with- out avail. The reconveyance of the prop- ertles in question had ot been completed when Miss Sankey was _stricken with heart disease and died. Public Adminis- trator Boland will now take charge of her estate and transfer the fruits of her legal victory to her heirs-at-law, as it is understood she died intestate. Miss San- key was 20 years of age at the time of her death. Heart Disease Caused Death. The autopsy made last Wednesday night by Morgue Surgeon Leland upon the body oF Miss Caroline Sankey. who died aud. denly last Tuesday afternoon, revealed heart dilation as the cause of death. Ow- ing to the fact that the deceased was only 29 years old and apparently a healthy and vigorous woman it was_thought best to submit the stomach for _examination the stream vesterday after taking aboard 500,000 feel of lumber for Australia. While the =alls were being bent Willlam Roberts, one of the sailors. fell from aloft and broke three of his ribs and his right arm. He was brought ashore in a launch to the city chemist. That official reported unofficially that he had not yet finished his examination and chemical analysis, but that as far as he had gone he had found no indications of poison.

The police were notified vesterday that the Pioneer Warehouse, Battery and Fil- bert streets, had been entered by burglars during the night. Detective T. B. Gibson and Sergeant Ellis were detailed on the case. They made an investigation and discov- ered that entrance had been effected by foreing the iron bars across the door and then prying it open. In the office they attempted to break open the inside door. of the safe, the outer door being always left open, but were not successful. They took 75 cents out of the telephone box and going upstairs broke open several cases of underwear and stole eighteen dozen suits. They left a “jimmy’ and an fron bar behind them. Charles Duzen, the special watchman in the locality, told the officers that he visit- ed the warehouse at 3, 4 and 5 o'clock esterday morning and everything seemed n proper shape. The job is supposed to have been done by amateurs. Dr. Parker's Cough Cure. One dose will & cough. Never fails. Try it. All druggists. + Yesterday’s Insolvents.

T. T. Williams submitted two ordinances to cover the existing abuses. The first ordinance presented provides that it shall be unlawful for any person or corporation to build or maintain any fence or frame of wood covered with can- vas or other Inflammable material within | PUBLIC PLACES — 5 IN DISFAVOR the limits of the city and county without first obtaining a permit of the Fire War- | dens; that no permit shall be given for the | maintenance of such fences over eight feet | in height nor if 'they constitute a menace | to life or property or are liable to inter- | fere with the work of the Fire Depart- | ment in extinguishing fires, of which the Fire Warden shall be the sole judge. The | ordinance also provides that such fences | are declared a public nuisance, which | must be abated forthwith by the Chief of | Police and Fire Department. 1 The second ordinance is similar to the first, but is intended to regulate the build. | ing of fences aroeund any vacant lot or portion thereof, and limits their height to ten feet. Replying to_a question of Supervisor Connor, Mr. Williams said that the meas- | ures were sweeping in character and will prohibit electric signs in front of thea- ters. “The newspapers,” said Mr. Williams, are willing to take in every sign and biilboard they now use for advertising purposes in the city. The abuse of elec- tric advertising’ signs was evidenced by, the great trouble the firemen experienced in New York City. The newspapers em- ploy a large number of men, pay high waies, and their interests should be con- sidered along with the claims of advertis- ing companies. The theaters are a nui- sance in their advertising, for they send out a score of men on a dark night to paste posters all over the town. Regard- ing the claim of advertisers that they are hecavy taxpayers, Owens & Varney have no real estate and pay taxes on personal property assessed at $1400. Siebe & Green's ersonal property s assessed for $II7. he ordinance aims to cover cases where large and unslghtly signs are placed in front of buildings.” A. Dijeau and E. L. Clapp of the San Francisco Labor Council opposed the ordl- naces, claiming they would deny labor unions the privilege of advertising their meetings and notices of boycotts on wagons. They contended it would be but fair to deny the right to every business man to advertise on the wagons he owns. | Supervisor Maguire stated that the com- | mittee desired to adopt an ordinance that | would be uniform and result in the re- moval of all unsightly advertisements. The two erdinances presented by Mr. Williams and another directed at the grotesque ad- vertising features now in vogue seemed to meet with the approval of the mem- bers. They were raferred to the Judiciary Committee to determine their legality. Wills! Filed for Probate. The will of Willilam B. Allen, who died March 9, leaving an estate valued at $17,- 000, was filed for probate vesterday. De- cedent bequeaths his entire ‘estate in trust to Robert Brotherton to sell and dispose | of the proceeds as follows: To Elizabeth Allen, a sister, $1000; to Mrs. Sophle Brotherton, a friend, $250; to Thomas Al- len, a_brother, $100; to-Thomas W.
