Wallace and Garret McEnerney occupied the stand in the morning. The Archbishop testified that he never gave George R. B. Hayes, one of his attorneys, authority to draw up the fountain agreement exclu- sive of the community agreement, the latter agreement being the consideration for the former. Mr. McEnerney’s testimony took up the greater part of the forenoon. He said that Ryland T. Wallace never claimed at 1idity of the fountain agreement. On June 16, 1896, in Superior Judge Angellotti's court Ryland T. Wallace argued that the condition that the permit is revocable at | the pleasure of the board and that the | company file a stipulation that the tem- | porary permit is in no sense to be con- sidered a franchise.

Wallace that he would not take an appeal because it was a matter of no importance to his eide under the contract. In reply to a question by Peter Dunne, of defendants’ counsel, Mr, McEnerney admitted that during his argument before Judge Angellott! he had not produced the He said, further, that an appeal had been taken, not by Archbishop Riordan, but by Peter J. Mec- Glynn and J. F. Burgin, executors of the will, to recover for the executors of the will $5000 extra compensation which had been denied them by Judge Angellotti, who had allowed them only 32000 on a claim for $7000. They had argued that the fountain was not a charity and the wit- ness had argued that it was. Ryland T. Wallace had told the witness that his sis- ter “‘stood to lose’ $8333 and that he would advise his sister to pay that sum. Mr. Wallace had also told the witness, *All that my sister and her daughter lose is $16,666 66.”" DISCUSSES AGREEMENTS. Mr. Van Ness in his argument related the history of the case. Donahue, at the time of his death the husband of Belle Wallace, now Mrs. Sprague, bequeathed to various charities $165,000, exclusive of $25,000 for the erec- tion of a monument and fountain to the of his father, Peter Donahue. After all paid there remained $600,000, out of which the $165,000 bequests were to be paid. If it were to be decided that the fountain be- quest was a charity the sum would be in- creased to $19,000, which would be more than one-third of his separate estate.. Of this sum $100,000 was bequeathed to Ro- man Catholic orphan homes. He had be- queathed also another $100,000 to buy land and erect a building for poor old men and women, but this was stricken out, be- cause the law does not permit more than one-third of a testator’s estate to be de- vised for charitable purposes. Mr. Van Ness spent the greater part of his time in commenting upon the commu- nity and the fountain agreements execut- ed between the parties to the sult,and ar- gued that if the contention of the defense be true thaet Ryland T. Wallace did not hold a power of attorney from his sister to execute that agreement It was very strange, to say the least, that an able lawyer and businegs man, such as he was, should have signed his sister's name to the agreement by himself as her attor- ney. Peter Dunne will reply for the defense this morning at 10 o'clock. —————— WARRANT SECURED FOR SCHUMACHER'S ARREST Leon Carrau of the jewelry firm of Carrau & Green, 220 Sutter street, secured a warrant from Police Judge Conlan yes- for the arrest of G. H. Schu- of the bankrupt firm of Schu- macher & Co., jewelers, on a charge of felony embezzlement. Carrau alleges that on August 21 Schumacher got from bis irm a pair of diamond earrings valued at $14 on the understanding that he would pay cash for them or return them. It is sald he has failed to do either. Carrau, on Tuesday, called at the Dis- trict Attorney’s office with the Intention of swearing to a complaint against Schumacher for giving him a worthless check. He said that Schumacher had purchased from the firm jewelry of the value of $480 and had given a check on the Central Trust Company, and that it was returned marked “no funds.” Schu. macher was sent for, and after a scene between him and Carrau he said he would make the chcck good by Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Then Troy spoke as follows: “The Geary Street Company is not en- titled to any favors from this board, be- { cause it made threats at one time that it would prevent the acquisition of the Geary-street road. I ask that Mr. Platt bring the books of the company, for I be- lieve I can prove that the reason why the proposition did not recelve a two- thirds vote was because of corruption. The company has paid at least $1,500,000 in_dividends.” Braunhart characterized a suggestion of Troy that the city run automobiles on Geary street as ridiculous and the latter accused the Supervisor of ‘‘doing up the Geary-street road proposition. Braun- hart retorted that any one who accused him of any sinister purpose in his ad- vocacy of public ownership liberate falsehood. Shepherd stated that he would not pro- duce the books of the company showing receipts and expenditures, as it would | give information to competitors who would bid for the regular franchise.

Health Board Appoints W. H. Lamb Market Inspector. The Health Board yesterday created the position of market inspector and ap- pointed W. H. Lamb to the place at a salary of $100 per month. Secretary Em- ery sald the Civil Service Commission had refused to submit more than one eli- gible for the position, but that Lamb was first on the list. The board, however, only appointed Lamb temporarily, as it insists on having more than one name certified. The Board of Works was requested to abate the nuisance caused by a defective sewer in Hodges alley. The board ordered the premises at 6 to 12% Spofford alley vacated and put in sanitary condition. The two-story structure in the rear of 807 Jackson street was condemned and ordered to be summarily destroyed. F. Getzel, cook at the Almshouse, re- signed his position. The owners of premises at 14 to 40 Spof- ford alley were given thirty days in, which to make them sanitary. ST BLASTING ON TELEGRAPH HILL. Violation of Ordinance by Gray Bros. ‘Will Be Stopped. The Supervisors’ Street Committee yes- terday decided, after hearing testimony, that blasting is being fllegally done by Gray Bros. on Telegraph Hill and ordered that the attention of the Board of Works, Chief of Police and the Police Commis- sion be called to the violation of an ex- isting ordinance prohibiting blasting op- erations within certain limits. A citation will be sent to Gray Bros. to appear and explain why their promise not to blast has not been kept and why the ordinance is being violated. The com- mittee stated that it would take steps to see that the ordinance is enforced. Several witnesses testified that there was blasting on the hill on September 28 and October 8. Gray Bros. sent a communication deny- ing that they were blasting on Telegraph Hill, but witnesses testified that opera- tlons were carried on at the foot of the hill and on Lombard street.
