LARGEST JULY REALTY REGORD Beats Any Predecessor by Very Handsome Margin. Closely Approaches Three Millions of Dollars. Total The largest July real estate business ever done in San Francisco is the rec- ord for the month just closed. Calling at- tention to this fact the Real Estate Cir- Thomas Magee & Sons, compares the total of $2,646,28 with | those of preceding months of July when g transactions were in order. The nearest approach to the record of last | menth was made in July, 1881, when the total was $2,39L,665. 1n making an analy- gis of the present market the Circular says: It should be noted that half of this month gales in amount were in the fifty-vara section, Showing that this region is still a favored lo- | cality. ~ Investors are not losing their heads and what every real friend of this city desires is that sellers will not lose theirs. What all real estate buyers should remember is that in the case of sales made at decided nces the original sale was usually far below its normal | location was not fully | value, either because the appreciated by buyers; because the building Was not suitable, or because the rents had been allowed to run down by agents or owners Who | Qid not know what & fair rent was. The high fotals moted above were in boom years. This Year and the last three years as well have been n rmanent growth. It is 2 most satistactory fact that the most of the | Teal cstate purchases here are in strong hands. s notewotrhy fact is the investment of sev- eral of our large commercial houses and capi- | {alists in the fitty-vara section. They evidently think what the shrewd investors of the last, three years have known that there is as much | security in good Sam Francisco real estate as | in bonds, for the owner has almost absolute ontrol of it, and there are much greater op- portunities for & large increase in value. The best residence section buildings that have been | | erected has been evident to all and is shown | year by the unt spent during the fiscal 1101 - amounting to $§12,370,732 buildings and §1,454,908 spent for alterations, repairs and additions—a total of $13,825,640. se figures alone, and in spite of the high | price of building material and of the dispute between the Trades Council and the builaers, testify to substantial growth and a desrvedly carned increase on real estate as oppoged to mushroom growth in 1880-1891. There were eighty-eight building contracts let in July, call- The outlook ‘all months is v od.

Blacksmith Brown’s Strenu- ous Methods Land Him in Jail BERKELEY, Aug. 2. — Enraged and maddened by jealou: Charles Brown, a young blacksmith, tried to kill Miss Alice- Turner and C. W. Lillard, a drug- gist's clerk, last night, while Lillard was escorting the young woman and her com- panion, Miss Ora Hambly, to their homes. The girls had appealed to Lillard for pro- tection, declaring that Brown had been pursuirg them and they feared he would harm them. The youug clerk’'s gallantry nearly cost him his life, for he had not been five min- utes in the girls’ company before the an- &ry blacksmith opened fire on the party. 1t was on a shaded walk in the univer- sity grounds that Brown made his attack. He fited thrice from his pistol at Lillard, ard made Miss Turner the target for one of the bullets. But the pistol wielder was g0 excited that he aimed wildly and no one was struck. As soon as Brown had Liliard rushed off for assistance. Deputy Iarshal H. S. Howard responded, ar- ted the pistol-user and took him to the county jail in Qakland. According to Miss Turner, last night's attack was the culmination of a series of abuses which she has suffered at the ceased _firing hands of young Brown during several | weeks past. “I met Charley Brown about three weeks ago,” said Miss Turner, “and since then he has been bothering me all the time with his declarations of affection for me. but did not tell him who it was. Just yesterday morning when I was going past the blacksmith shop where he works, I avoided looking at him on purpose to show him that I did not care for him. “Last night, after he had fired three shots at Mr. Liilard, he turned his pistol in my direction and fired once at me. Then, when he had finished firing, he came up to me and tried to talk to me. He gaid that he knew that Mr. Lillard was a coward and wished he had Kkilled | him. Brown sald at the County Jail: “When 1 saw_Alice walking home with the tall man, 1 got mad and started after them. Coming up to them, I tried to stop the i man, but he started to run and 1 fired three shots after him to keep him going. try to kill him, because I head. The girls got fright- ened and then I was arrested.” Brown has been living until recently witn his parents on Presidio avenue, San Francisco. Miss Hambly resides at the home of T.

Strife for Local Convention Upsets the State Bosses. RO R Yesterday 2067 voters registered, making the total registered for the primary elec- tion 51776. This gratifying response of citizens to the call of duty foreshadows the utter defeat of the machine element in pelitics on August 12. Outside of three Assembly districts south of Market street nearly all of the Republican voters of San Francisco are sincerely opposed to the renomination of Gage. Very many of these Republicans are actlve and outspoken in their opposi- ton to him. They have registered and will vote at the primary electfon. In or- der to win votes away from the Primary League, the independent clubs, Martin Kelly's alliance and the county commit- tee clubs are putting up ‘‘unpledged” Celegations to the State convention. In tome of the districts Flint and Edson nave equal representation with Gage. In other aistricts it is represented that Re- publicans opposed to Gage have half the delegates. There is a joker here. Losses expect to give Gage a sufficient margin of strength to invoke the unit rule and thus capture the entire Assem- bly district vote. REPUBLICAN PRIMARY LEAGUE Kelly's Mutual Allfance and the so- called independents comprehend that the large registration for tne primary elec- tion on_august 12 is decidedly favorable to the Repuplican Primary League, hence it is figured that if concesslions are not made to the powerful anti-Gage senti- ment the league will not only elect a majority of tne delegates to the State convention, but will sweep the fleld and capture the local nominaung convention. The fact is readily appreciated that the local conventions will nominate eighteen Assemblymen, four Senators, four Judges of the Superior Court, five Justices of the | been Peace and a Superintendent of Common Schools. The patronage of the local field is so great and in its distribution is so close to the district workers, that they will sacri- fice gubernatorial aspirants in order to save it. One cheerful aspect of the situ- ation is that, no matter which side wins in the spirited contest for the local con- vention, the machine cannot win more than 89 of the 177 delegates to the Stdte Convention, as the district gangs will not permit the nomination of much more than 50 per cent of Gageites on the state delegate tickets. The Primary League is very much stronger and surely more effectively or- anized than it was one year ago, when t won 90 delegates to the local conven- tion. The present indications are that the League will capture the works on the 12th | inst. FORTY-FIRST DISTRICT. In the Firty-first District the Central Republican Club, generally known as the Horace Davis Club, will probably win out by a handsome majority. Nearly all the oid line anti-boss Republicans of the For- ty-first belong to_the club. Henry C. Dib- ble and Martin Kelly have had eight or nine secret conferences to determine what form of campaign should be adopted to secure a Gage delegation from the Forty- first. They decided finally to line up be- hind the club of which Tom Collins is president.

San Joaquin County WHIl Not Give Him a Single Delegate. STOCKTON, Aug. 2.—Sentiment against the renomination of Governor Gage is so strong -among the San Joaquin Republi- cans that the eighteen votes which the county will have in the State convention may be safely placed in the anti-Gage col- umn. “Gage or anti-Gage” will be the test for delegates to the State convention, and, although the predominant element of the party seems willing to do all in its power to obtain the nomination of Orrin S. Henderson for Railroad Commissioner, even the interests of the favorite local son are not likely to be advancted by any recession from the position of uncom- promising opposition to Gage. The situation is so well understood that all the isolated friends of the Governor hope for is to work in two or three dele- fates under cover of other interests, but leading party men are determined to deny the Governor the consolation of even a single representative in the delegation. ‘The Governor lost this county when he 1 red the. practically unanimous in- lorsements of the County Committee in the matter of the appointments of State Hospital managers. is’ throw-down of the organization was complete and was said to have been in violation of direct and positiye promises made to representa- tive Republicans.

Attempts Are Made at Res- cue but They Prove Fatile. An unknown man committed suicide last evening by jumping inte the bay from the ferryboat Oakland. The boat left the slip on the San Francisco side at 8:30 p. m. in command of Captain Brad- ley. After she had grocecded on her trip about five minutes the cry of a man over- board was raised. Captain Bradley had the Oakland stop- ped and ordered a small boat to be low- ered to go in search of the missing man. After searching fruitlessly for about ten minutes the small boat put back and the Oakland went on its way. The missing man jumped from the bow of the boat on the port side and it is sup- posed he was struck by the paddle wheel and sank immediately. The only witnesses to the affair were Captain Enos of the steamship Sternberg and a soldier from the Presidio. Both state that they did not see the man untii he was on the rail. He was of middle age, they say, weighed about 200 pounds and was d!rel ed in a dark suit and light der- at.

No particu- lar candidate seems to be favored, but Flint has been discussed by some of the leaders. The flght will begin at the mass meetings a week from to-night and will be followed up at the primaries. The ma- Jority In opposition to Gage is so pro- nounced and active that the contest will be one-sided. REGISTRATION IS HEAVY. Santa Clara Voters Taking Interest in the Primaties. SAN JOSE, Aug. 2.—The registration for the primaries, which closed this even- ing, has been unusually heavy, and it presages a heavy vote. Never before in the history of the county has such inter- est been taken in primaries. The over- throw of Mackenzie has been the means of causing many business men to take an active part in affairs of the city and coun- ty, who heretofore feared to oppose the harbor commissioner and his henchmen. Next Wednesday both the reform ele- ment and the Mackenzieites are to name delegates to be voted for at the primaries in the city. In the country districts many of the deiegates are already named. Mac- kenzie, who had charge of the county committees, has always named the dele- gates to the State Convention. This year things will be changed, and it is doubtful whether Mackenzie will have a represent- ation on the delegation. In the orchard districts and outside the city there is a strong sentiment against Gage. The strength of the Republican Good Government League, the big reform organization of the Hayes brothers, lies outside_the city. It will elect most of the State delegates, and they will be anti- Gage. They probably will also control the county county ticket.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 2.—McKindey, the &reatest father of trotting horses, and for which Henry B. Gentry of Indiana re- cently paid $25,000, was shipped East to- day. The horse wiil be shipped to Bloom- ington, Indiana, by express, and will oc- cupy a special car, the expressage being $50. A veterinary and two attendants will accompany the horse and he will be given every care possible. The shipment is by express to secure greater speed and safety. The horse was until sold owned by Charles A. Durfee, the veteran stock breeder of this county. He has a record without a peer as a sire of fast colts. Five of McKinney's colts have a record of from 2:02 to 2:10, twenty from 2:02 to 2:15 and thirty have 2:02 to 2:20. MecKin- ney is now fourteen years old. The horse 1s a native of Kentucky, sired by Alcyons and Alcyone by George Wilkes. He was brought to California when two years old by Durfee. In paying $25,000 for him Gentry stiill hopes to make a fortune out of him be- fore he becomes too old. Gentry states that Durfee's books will show that the great stallion has earned his owner from $7000 to 39000 annually for several years. The new owner states that the horse will earn his purchase price within a year in the East and that if the horse lives five ears he will make a fortune out of him. ‘he purchase was negotiated about flve weeks ago, at which time a deposit was made, and the balance of the money was paid yesterday.
