Argues in Favor of a Water Supply From Tuolumne River, “Municipal Ownership and Its Advan- tages” was the subject of a lecture de- livered last night before the Men’'s League of the First Congregational Church. Reed argued in favor of the city owning its| own public utilities, claiming that the cost of the several commodities involved would be lessened to the consumer. Reed’s principal arguments were di- rected to the advisabllity of bringing a | pure and adequate water supply from the Tuolumne River to this city, and also to the acquisition of the Geary street rail- way, whose franchise expires next N vember. “Should this city own its own water supply,” said Reed, “the cost of water to the consumer would be reduced by 42 per | cent. In New York the cost is but 3 cents per 1000 gallons under municipal control. The Spring Valley Company’s water sup- ply is failing and that fact, together with the exorbitant rates it charges, will justl-l fy the city ownership of a water supply from the Sierras. The municipal owner- ship of street railways will result in a cent fare and a reduction from the systems.” Reed read a letter from Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles, stating that the munici- pal witer supply of Los Angeles has been an unqualified success. It was necessary to construct a new plant when the system was taken over by the municipality and so while the city is expending more $300000 per annum on the improvement of the plant, yet the rates to consumers have been reduced 10 per cent; the service | is better thap ever before, and the income to the city to-day exceeds $30,000 per month, Mayor Snyder say=. The league adopted a resolution sub- | mitted by Mr. Reed petitioning the Sec-| retary of the Interior to grant the request | of the City and County of San Francisco | for leave to use the waters of the Tuo-| lumne River for a municipal water sup- ply. — e SMALLMAN SAYS MOTHER WAS MENTALLY UNSOUND Files a Suit in Which He Charges His Sisters With Con- spiracy. Robert F. Smallman, son of the late | Catherine Smallman and administrator of her estate, is suing bis sisters, Lillian and Margaret Smallman, Alice Drayton | and Susan Sanders and Reeves Atkinson to have them declared trustees of his | mother’s $2300 estate. He alleges that they | claim the property,as theirs and refuse | to give it up to him as administrator. Sm liman charges that his sisters and | Atkinson entered into a conspiracy | control of their mother's estate, | and in furtherance of their scheme kept intoxicants during the | sickness that immediately preceded her | death on April 20 last. He alleges that as a result of the cons became mentally unbalanced and while in | uch ndition gave to the defendants | all that she owned. Smallman brings the | suit on behalf of himself and Nellie Mc- | Gue and Mary Hanlon, his other sisters. bY B oot @ | Por June 12, for Townsend.

Mrs. Hopper Threatens to Put Shingle Out as an Attorney. — One further advance in the legal battle over the will of the late Alexander Duns- muir, in which Edna Wallace Hopper is | JUNE 17 fighting to have the testament set aside, took place yesterday morning at the of- | fices of Courtenay Bennett, British Consul, | When, in support of Mrs. Hopper's side, John B. Reilly was sworn and stated that Wilson & Wilson appeared as attorneys for James Dunsmuir in proving the will | | of Alexander Dunsmuir, deceased. Rellly | swore that Wilson & Wilson had acted also as Alexander Dunsmuir's attorneys | and offered in evidence a receipt for $5000 | | —their fee for services. The bettie did not proceed far yester- day, owing to several witnesses, cham- | | bermaids and others connected with the; Grand Hote! at the time the late Mr. | { Dunsmuir lived there being unable to ap- | pear, but at 11 o'clock this morning the | legal fight will be taken up afresh and the ammunition which is expected to be brought into the action may prove the strongest yet. | The dealings of Wilson & Wilson with the decceased and the late Mrs. Duns- muir are to be exploited and the evidence given by Rellly, while not appearing at present very pertinent, will be largely re- | lied upon to substantiate evidence which is to follow perhaps to-day, perhaps to- | morrow. A new witness was discovered yester- day whose testimony, it is said, will go far toward substantiating the claim that at the time he made his will Alexander Dunsmuir was suffering from alcoholic dementia. HAS DELIRIUM TREMENS. | The new witness will testify that Duns- muir was in such a condition of intoxica- tion at’one stage that he was overtaken | with delirium tremens and had to be re- | moved from the Grand Hotel to a sanita- | rium, where he was detained until his| condition warranted his return some time later to his apartments. ! i | | i Evidence is to be presented to show that even after his attack of delirium tremens he continued to dissipate at an alarming | pace, and in support of this evidence | many employes will be called to testify as | to Dunsmuir's condition and habits. | Judge Coyne of New York and Attorney | A. Heynemann, who are representing Mrs. | Hopper, were in attendance at the hear- | ing. | ACTRESS’ FUTURE UNCERTAIN. | “I have nothing to say about the case, said Mrs. Hopper yesterday, ‘‘except that | by the time it is conpleted I shall possibly | retire from the stage and put up my | shingle as a full-fledged attorney.

Oh, ves, I am well, | but I don’t mind admitting that law is a | great reducer of weight. I have lost pounds | and pounds since the litigation began and." gracious, when this is finished, think of it, | T shall have a half a dozen claims against | the estate to settle. “As for my professional future I can| say nothing just now.

R —— EXPLOSION CAUSES LOSS | OF A CYANIDE PLANT | Machinery Worth Thousands of Dol- lars Destroyed by Fire in Trinity. REDDING, June 16.—A can of gasoline caused an explosion in the assay office of the Northern Headlight mine on Cof- fee Creek, two miles from Carrville, Trinity County, Friday afternoon and the fire that followed ~destroyed the big | cyaniding plant and caused a loss of $10,- | 000. The remoteness of the mine made it impossible for the news to reach this city sooner. The cyanide plant was one of the largest in the Stite. The property is owned by L. M. Hoefler of San Francisco and MexI- can capitalists. The final clean-up for the season was made last week and the greater part of the values was shipped. The insurance on the plant had lapsed a few days before the fire. ———————— Many Limbs Broken. ¢ Drs. Maher and .Murphy of the Emer- gency Hospital had their hands full all day yesterday setting broken bones. In all five persons were brought to the hos- pital suffering from broken limbs. W. McHenry was treated for a broken leg, sustained by falling from a wagon at Fourth and Berry streets: Charles Stone, a laborer, broke his left leg by falling from the roof of a building at California and Mason streets; J. Stimson, a hostler in a stable on Ellis street, broke his right arm while trying to subdue a fractious horse, and Mrs. Mary Donnelly, an aged woman living at 524 Third street, was run over by a wagon at Fifth and Steven. son streets and suffered & broken arm.

His father was the rector of the school there, and it was there that he recewed his first mstructions, and when sixteen years of age ke enterea a lithographing establishment, at the same time studying drawing and painting under Prof. Heimerdienger ana others, When twanty years old he went to Lond-n and spent one year in that metropolis, and from there went to New VYork and thence to Chicago, where he was engaged in making sketches for Iithographing. Although engaged in making sketches for publishing houses and Iithographing estab/ishments, a great deal of his time was given up, ano is to the present time, to the stuay of frontier Iife, the cowboy, Inoians, the cattle which roam the Western valleys, but more particularly the horse, which has always been his admiration and his best Irend. Mr. Hansen is still a young man, and his best days are yet before him. He was married in 1884, has two lovely children, a boy and a girl, and a pleasant home i Alameda, Cairfornia.

WASHINGTON, June 16.—The itinerary of the European squadron in Buropean waters, made public to-day by Secretary Moody, shows that the squadron, which is now at Southampton, will leave that place on the 234 fnst. for Kiel, where it will remain one week. June 30 the ves- sels will turn westward again, going to Portsmouth, where they will remain until July 5or 6. The squadron will be entertain- ed there by the municipality, which has | signified a wish that a reception take place, and incidentally some of the offi- cers may visit London and be presented to King Edward. The squadron will leave Portsmouth for some point to be desig- nated by Admiral Cotton, assuming rou- tine squadron drill and maneuvers. The big battleship Kearsarge will be detached from the squadron and recross the At- lantic to participate again in the North Atlantic squadron. ——————————— 0il Trust Takes Revenge.

Gustave Silva, a miner, arrived in the city on Monday night and after securing a room in a lodging-house on the water front, went out to see the sights. He was walking along Market street late at night and a young man accosted him and in- vited him to go with him to the rooms of a poker club in the Baldwin Annex. He Went and after parting with $25 he decid- ed that he had enough of poker and left the place about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Thomas Doonan, a former messenger boy, went out with him and offered to show him the sights. He led him along till they reached Sansome and Battery streets when Doonan, so Sflva says, said he would not take him any farther, as he did 19;t believe he had any money. Sliva reached for his purse andgtook out five $20 gold pieces which he®placed in his right hand, and he alleges that an grabbed four of the pieces and ran away.

CLEVELAND, June 15.—Rate clerks of the Central Passenger Assoctation will meet in Cincinnat! next Thursday to try to induce the Lake Shore to abandon its rate announced from Cleveland to San Francisco for the Grand Army Encamp- ment. The rate named is sald to be an infringement on differentials by other lines and unless the Lake Shore complies with the wish of the clerks a general overturning of rates to the Paciflc Coast is probable. @i @ he joined two other men James Blackwell, a night watchman at 529 Sacramento street, heard Silva's eries of “stop thief" and ran down to San- some street. He saw Silva grab hold of Doonan and Silva claimed that Doonan had robbed him of $80. Blackwell took them to the Central police station and Lieutenant Gleeson ordered that Doonan ba locked up in “the tanks,” pending an investigation. No money was found upon Doonan and the police think he passed it to the other two men who were seen by Blackwell walking behind Siiva and Doonan just be- fore the alleged robbery was committed. Detectives O'Dea and Mulcahey have been detailed on the case with instryc- tions to make a thorough investigation. Siiva is being detained for further de. velopments.
