The news of Mr. Sheldon's demise will be received with the deepest grief in busi- ness and so circles, of which he was a prominent factor. It is less than three weeks ago that he was taken fll and early this week he was removed from his r dence at “The Hutch,” in Sausalito, the Lane Hospital. His condition was such that it was imperative that an ope- ration be performed without delay. Fol- lowing the operation Mr. Sheldon rallied | and on Wednesday and Thursday he was reported to be holding his own. Yester- day a change set in and, though every effort was made by the medical men in attendance, the patient gradually until death closed his eyes in_peace. The deceased was born in Vermont and was 53 years old at the time of his death. He is survived by a sorrowing mother, two brothers and a sister, all of whom re- sank STUBBORN FICAT OVER PRUPERTY ‘ Rival Claimants Battle for Possession of a Dwelling. The residents In the vicinity of Twen- ty-fourth street and Treat avenue have | had considerable amusement within the last few days watching the efforts of | Henry Windt to remove Mrs. Elizabeth Kirsch from the lower story of a house which he claims is his property. Mrs. Kirsch also claims title to the property | and resisted Windt, though he was back- ed up by Officer Prendergast and a war- rant. { \ The property in_question is a two-story building and was formerly owned by Mrs. | Kirsch. The lower portion of the house is used as a store and the upper part as a dwelling” Mrs. Kirsch procured the key to the store a week ago from the family occupying the upper part of the house, and, after storing a wagon load of furni- ture in the place, took possession. She pasted a notice to that effect in the store window. S Windt heard of the woman's actions and a -warrant from Judge Caba- fiir::u;ue;} her arrest. With Officer Pren- dergast he visited the place Thursday aft- ernoon, and it was only by forcing the door that he secured an entrance. He found Mrs. Kirsch in bed, very sick, as she claimed. The warrant was read to her by the officer, but she declined to move. After the officer and Windt had left she got up and proceeded to the Seventeenth- street police station and gave herself up. She furnished bonds and was released. She left the house for a few hours yes- terday and when she returned she found her furniture_on the street. It had been removed by Windt's agents during her absence. To prevent her from again tak- ing possession they put padlocks on the doors. Mrs. Kirsch's 13-year-old son and the family dog had been removed with the furniture and were on guard when she returned. She determined to occupy the premises again and promptly forced one of the locks. She chose the main part of the store as her temporary residence and brought a chair in from the pile of furni. ture on the street for comfort. She held her position for several hours and then left the house, leaving the boy and the dog in charge.

In his early youth he went to Baltimore and from there went to Nevada, where = he secured a position with the Consolidated California and Vir- ginia Mining Company at Virginia City. In 1879 he came to California and entered the employ of the Nevada men returned. They told the boy he had better move, as they were going to nail up the windows and doors. Young Kirsch has considerable of his mother’s grit and stood firm, holding his ground until he saw the men returning with a carpenter and a few hundred feet of lumber to bar- ricade the windows. It was only when the Windt forces had all the windows bar- ricaded and started in to close the door that he gave in, and left the house. He again assumed his position on the side- walk, guardian of his mother’s furniture. The street is still littered with the fur- niture and the house is vacant. What move Mrs. Kirsch will make next is not known, but she declares she is in the fight to stav. PAYMASTER HANFORD MAYEESIGN POSITION Has Been Employed by the Southern Pacific for Past Thirty- Three Years. J. M. Hanford, paymaster of the South- ern Pacific Company, will probably re- sign his position in the near future. He has been a most faithful servant to the company and has been employed by the corporation for the past thirty-three years. He is Immensely popular and his resignation will be deeply regretted. Tt is supposed that his resignation will take place on the return of President Hays from the East. He will, it is sup- posed, receive a pension, and rallroad men say that no man ever deserved it more for faithful service than Hanford. —_——— To-Day’s News Letter.

At the end of his term as secre- tary of the Park Commission Mr. Shel- don_entered the Spreckels employ, and in 1884 was appointed cashier of the California Sugar Refinery. Later on he became the secretary of the Oceanic Steamship_Company, the Hutchinson, Paauhau, Kilauea, Honolulu and the Ha- kalau sugar plantations, which positions he held until his death.

NO CROWDING IN THE SCHO0LS Director Denman De- clares There Is Ample Room for Pupils. —e School Director Denman stated yester- day that there was no crowding in the public schools. He informed the princi- pals assembled in the rooms of the Board of Education that the boar verely criticised, and in its defense would say that undler the charter the members | did not know the amount of money they were_going to have and therefore could not Provide accommodations as they de- sired. He said certain parts of the city were growing rapidly, and if school ac- commodations were not sufficient parents would have to suffer inconvenience for a | few months. ‘“We have eight or nine hundred classes in the public schools,” he said, “and if we find on the opening day that three or four classes arc unprovided for I think we have done well. We could not foresee the addition of four more classes, though I wish it was fcrty more. If principals desire more desks or more chairs they can be accommodated. We have plenty of them, having contracted for 1000 modern chairs or seats.

The firms interested in the matter are the Dunham-Carrigan-Hayden Company, Hol- brook, Merrill & Stetson; Miller, Sloss & Scott, and George W. Gibbs Company. While the negotiations to this end have in no sense approached completion, the matter has been generally discussed in business circles and by members of the firms named. The partles interested ad- mit that the proposed pool had been talk- ed of, but that no formal steps to that end were taken, and that none would be taken in the near future. On the other hand, there are many business men who are convinced that the combination is bound to come at an early date. The larger hardware firms, it is argued, would be enabled to operate their concerns under a pooling agreement at a | much less cost than is the case at present. An army of drummers now in the fleld at an expense of many thousands annually to the competing firms would be dispensed with. The proposed consolidation, it 's further said, would enable the local wholesalers to purchase goods in greater bulk and therefore effect a great saving. In other words, the proposed pooling of hardware interests would prevent compe- tition, and while it would lessen the cost of materials to the members of the pool it would enable the consolidated concerns to sell goods at a lower figure and still vield a fair profit. : H. J. Morton, treasurer of the George | W. Gibbs Company, denies that the firm | with which he is connected is any party | to the proposed deal. He stated yester- | day that the firm had not even been con- | suited with reference to the project and | that there was not, in his opinion, any | foundation for the reported consolidation. Brace Hayden, president of the Dun- { ham-Carrigan-Hayden Company, one of | the largest wholesale hardware firms in | the West, denies that there is any truth {in the report. He said positively that ' there was no prospect of 'such a consoli- | dation as far as his house was concerned. | He admitted that the matter had been | spoken of in his presence, but only in an | informal manner. A. L. Scott of Miller, Sloss & Scott states that the report was an exaggera- | tion. The proposition of consolidation was i first called to his attention by a New | York business man, who informed him that it was current rumor in hardware circles of New York that the wholesalers of San Francisco intended to enter into a combine. Scott was emphatic in saying that the proposition had never been dis- cussed by him with any member of the firms alleged to be in the deal. He did not believe such a consolidation would be effected at an early date, if at all. Charles Holbrook, president of Hol- brook, Merrill & Stetson, admitted that the matter had been discussed by him. He said he could not act for his firm in the absence of his assoclates, who are now in New York, where they will remain for some time to come. The proposed consolidation had not advanced beyond the chrysalls stage, he sald, and thera 1 was no assurance that it would ever be consummated. Wakefield Baker of the “firm of Baker & Hamilton said yesterday that he had heard rumors of the proposed consolida- { tlon. His firm had not been consulted, he | said, and he did not believe the talked of consolidation would be finally effected. As far as his firm was concerned, he went on, it would not be identified with the movement in any way, as it was not bandling hardware to the degree that it is a_competitor in the local market, the specialty of the firm being agricultural implements. Meanwhile there are well posted busi- ness men who say that the deal will be consummated shortly, notwithstanding the denials of the gentlemen who have the matter under consideration. Manager Herbert Will Go North. Manager J. M. Herbert of the Southern | Pacific Company is at present on a tour | of inspection.
