Special Diepatch to The Call, SAN JOSE, March 1—In the filing of the will of Jose Coelho, who dled here on February 24, the unrelenting hatred for a brother who wrecked -the testator’s home has come to light. Coelho for more than twenty years was an employe of the Remillard Brick Company and by frugal- ity saved up many thousands of dollars. A few years ago a brother, Joaquin Coelho, became 11l and was taken to Jose's home. When the invalld recovered he re- pald his brother's gratitude- by eloping with the latter's wife and taking $400 that was In the house. The couple went to Pleasanton and then to Portugal, After a time Jose Coelho obtained a di- vorce. fidelity un‘ his brother's Ingratitude was more than he could stand. In the last four years he steadily declined, and his death last month s belleved to have been from a broken heart. In his will Jose Coelho, asserts that he omits his brother, who wds his only heir, because of the wrecking ¢f his home, and gives his entire estate to Enos Brios, g cousin, residing in Pleasanton. The es- tate consists of more than $3000 worth of property, and it Is sald that during Josc Coelho's last iliness he turned over con- siderable cash to his cousin The double blow of his wife's in-, I'rum the moment the ferry-boat loet her footing before the blast there were the usual scenes of excitemont among the throng of passengers. Woinen screamed and some fainted, while some excitabls men began taking off their. costs, vests and shoes, preparatory to a batile with the waters.. Captain Blaker and First Officer McLean went rapidly among the passengers, calfling them as best .they could. Some were preparing to jump overboard. Life preservers were passed around and lfe l{uuw made ready to lower. PASSENGERS GET ASHORE. There was the usual number of horses and wagons on the lower deck and dis- order reigned there, many of the animals becoming frightened. While timbers were being ripped and smashed by the pounding vessel the crew set to work to get the passengers ashore. Lines were run to the wharf and the vessel ' was held In while the people aboard were making’ thelr escape. Some of the women had to be carried ashore. No lives were lost, though many persons were injured, none seriously, however, The 500 people, some -disgusted, some weak from fright, and others gay over what they deemed a great lark, “mushed" their way up the wharf through the rain and the blast to a train that had been backed down from the mole, and carried back to Oakland. The Berkeley was made as secure as possible to Long wharf in hopes that she might veceive no serlous damage. At 10 o'clock two tugs from this side reached her and towed her back Into tho slip. - It was found that she was not seri- ously damaged and she made the tilp across to San Francisco at 10:30, SHIPS DRAG ANCHORS.

CHICAGO, March 1—Notichp of with- drawal from membership in the South- western Passenger Bureau was flled to- day by the Southern Pacific road. The reason given was that the expense of | maintaining the bureau since the with- drawal of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road a short time ago had become a bur- den and that the benefits derfved from membership vhdes the prevailng condi- tions were insufficlent to compensate. With these two roads outside, railway officials say, the fate of the bureau seems to be sealed, and its early dissolution is predicted. Some of the members hold to the view that the dissolution of the South- western Passenger Bureau will be but the prelude to a consolidation of all passen- ger assoclations west of Chicago into one organization.

EUREKA, March 1.—At French Gulch yesterday Gordon Beach, a 16-year-old boy, was struck by an immense slide from the bluff along the Pacific Lumber Com- pany’s track and his body carried into the river. Search has been made by members of the logging and mllling crews, but the The swift cur- rent of the river, swollen by the recent rains, probably will carry It out to Sea. Young Beach had gone dgwn to French Gulch to see a slide that covered the Pacific Lumber Company's track. While he Was looking at the great plle of earth and gravel, another huge mass of earth started to slide from the bluff above his head. He saw it coming, but became be- wildered and ran directly into the dan- ger. He was not, seen again after the moving mass of earth struck him. It is feared the mother of the boy will not re- cover from the shock experienced on learning’ of her son's sad fate. ——— Miss Stone at Turkish Capital. CONSTANTINOPLE, March L—Miss Ellen M.
