One man and forty-eight horses lost their lives in the fire at the City Hall stables last night and one man was injured, while property to the amount of $25,000 was destroyed. The body of Dennis Manning, the missing Stable-keeper, was found by Assistant Chief Engineer of the Fire Department George McDonald at 4 o'clock this morning. It was general- 1y believed last night that Manning had Jost his life, but it wase not until nearly daylight that the body was found. The remains were at once turned over to Deputy Coroner Quel- lin. When the firemen and F. W. Baker, the proprietor of the burned place, got to work upon the ruins this morning #% was discovered that forty-eight Lorses had been burned to death. The horses were all kept in the sec- ond story of the stable, as is usual in stables of this kind." The fire started immediately’ under the run-way that leads from the ground floor to the sec- ond story. Before the firemen could errive this run-way was destroyed and the horses in the second story were absolutely doomed. The position of the bodies discovered this morning shows that some of horses in their death agony kicked their ghoes off in their terror of the fire. The loss is estimated at about $25,000. Baker had no insurance. In addition to his loss there will be the loss individual horse owners. Dr. W. 8. Porter lost a fine saddle horse worth | several hundreds of dollars and a span of carriage horses. Dr. C. H. Walker | lost a span and a buggy and Dr. H. J. Larkey lost two valuable horses. | The private losses will amount to over $5000. There was practically no insurance upon anything in the stables. A R R PERSONAL. - Dr. H. C.

Two hundred and fifty feet of Oak- land water front property sold here at public auction to-day at $40,400. The purchaser is C. H. Holbrook of the San Francisco firm of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson. The bidding for him was dane by George W. Umbsen, the real estate dealer. The land oc- cupies the space between Webster street and the drawbridge and has a depth of 390 feet. For years the property has been the subject of litigation and the sale to- day was the result of an order handed down by the Supreme Court that the land be sold and the proceeds divided between Alice E. Doane, W. C. Par- sons and the heirs of the late John D. Cameron. The sale is considered an import- ant one here, as it is indicative of the value of Oakland water front real estate. Holbrook intends to make ex- tensive improvements on the land and will build wharves and warehouses on it. At present the premises are occu- pied by the Coos Bay Coal Company, Charles H. Butler & Co., the Oakland Wood and Coal Company, the Oregon Coast and Navigation Company and John Heithalt. Before Oakland was thought of Doane, Parsons and othersoccupied the tide lands for oyster beds, and, while they have held possession of the prop- erty ever since, they have had to de- fend themselves against numerous suits brought to dispossess them. Joseph B. Lanktree, as referee, con- ducted the sale from the Courthouse steps at noon to-day. W. C. Parsons, Dr. W. D. Huntington, A. P. Holland and Umbsen took part in the ‘bidding. In order to confrom to the descrip- tions and court instructions the land was sold in two pieces. The first and larger piece was put up and knocked down to Umbsen for $25,400. He also got the second piece, paying $15,000. He was evidently ready to pay more and the others dropped out of the competition and let him take it. MY HAYE FOURD RIE'S HOLK, B Continued From Page 35, Column 4. = r * crew had'a fleld glass, with which he kept watch on the boats passing and on the people on the bluffs above. But the men aboard did not seem unfriend- ly to me and they returned may salu- tation when I waved my hat at them. If they were on guard to keep their proceedings secret and get away in case any one should approach I sup- posé they regarded me as harmless. The time it took the men at the ropes to pull a box or keg out of the water, working hand oyer hand, was so long that I concluded -the depth at this point must be nearly 100 feet. “Four of the men sat down on deck at 12 o'clock and ate a lunch. Then they went to work again and kept it up until 2:50. when they cut loose and turning their launch toward the bay disappeared round the point. “I was told by persons near the beach that they had seen the launch out there every day for the last two weeks. “On the beach I found some wreck- age, including a number of empty boxes and kegs. Only one of them had any marks that I could read. This box was stamped: ‘Records of U. S. Sub. Trea. 1900-1901." I copied the in- scription. The date might indicate that the box had been in the Rio’s cargo.” * Young Killick’s clear and truthful story points to the history of the Rio since she sank beneath the waves. The fated ship went down in the seaway off the rocks west of Fort Point. Here the tide often reaches a maximum of seven or eight miles, and it is likely that the vessel was swung =~round from her first location until she rested finally against the rocks southwest of. the point. Victor Killick described the anchoring ground of the launch seen by him as close to the rocks which are visible at this point. It would seem that the wreck, if such it is, has not been covered by sand. Experienced sallors last night gave full credit to the story of the raising of the Rio's cargo. —————— MYSTERY SURROUNDS MARRIAGE LICENSE An air of mystery surrounds the is- suance of a marriage license to Jesse L. @oldstein of 1721 Pacific avenue and Pauline M. Harris of 1915 Post street. Last Saturday a handsome young woman entered the department of the County Clerk’s office over _which “Cupid” Danforth presides and made application for a license. She gave the names mentioned. She answered all interrogations of the clerk readily and gave the age of the prospective groom as 21 and confessed to twenty summers herself.

While acting as his own plumber and endeavoring to repair a leaky gas fixture at his residence, 1721 Sixteenth street, R. A. Smith caused an explo- sion of gas ‘which blew out all the windows in the front of the house and painfully burned the amateur plumber. Smith had been making some con- nections with the gas fixtures in an upper front room and did not notice that he had allowed a large amount of gas to escape. He left the room for a short time and on returning out of the fresh air he discovered a strong odor of gas. Thinking that one of the connections was leaking he struck a match to search for the leak and the gas in the room exploded with a loud report, smashing nearly every window in the house, setting fire to some lace curtains and seriously burning Smith. The fire was extinguished with little damage. — HEAR REPORT - OF PRESIDENT Annual Meeting of Members of Mechanics’ Institute Is Held and Officers Chosen The annual meeting of the mem- bers of the Mechanics' Institute was | held last night in the institute reading- room on the third floor of the build- ing. The attendance was exceptional- 1y large and the annual report of Pres- ident Randolph J. Taussig was lis- tened to with much attention. From among the trustees selected at the last quarterly meeting the fol- lowing officers of the institute were elected: President, Rudolph J. Taussig; vice president, George H. Wallis; corre- sponding secretary, James H. Lyons; ing; treasurer, Central Trust Com- | pany. Joseph M. Cummings, who has for a long time filled the position of general secretary with singular satis- faction to the institute and its mem- | bers, succeeded himself in his old po- sition. a The report of the secretary showed | a membership of 3257. During the past year 4388 new books have been | added to the library. There are now | 90,908 volumes in the library and dur- | ing the year 147,840 books were circu- lated. Two amendments to the constitution | were offered providing respectively that twenty and twenty-five years’ membership in the institute shall en- title one to life membership without further fees. No action was taken on the proposals. ‘The report of President Taussig was in part as follows: The completion of the forty-ninth year of the existence of the Mechanics' Iustitute brings no startling changes in the even tenor of, its way. Like all institutions, this one IS0, while it has not drifted away from its earliest purposes, - has added greatly to -its usefulness. It was originally formed by me- chanics for the purpose of supplying the great need of a library for the mechanics of San Francisco, but started with a Bible, the con- stitution of the United States, Encyclopedia o Architecture and ““Curtis on Conveyancing,’ and stands to-day a library of great usefulness in_technology, commerce and general litera- ture. The technological portion of the li- brary has been dclevoped steadily, following a well defined pian and_purpose. The affiliation of the Technical Soclety has been of the greatest bemefit to that particular branch of the library and its success suggests the advisaLility and possibility of the forma- tion of an organization which would do as much for our lbrary of commerce. I have not the least doubt that it properly managed a scciety of those interested in trade and commerce could be formed and affiliated with us, not oniy for the purpose of collecing books, but the Mechanics' Institute would be ready to provide a regular course of lectures by compe- tent university extension lecturers. I offer this suggestion to the officers and members of the Mechanice' Institute in the earnest hope that it may be acted upon in the near future. Our membership is, in my judgment, satis- factory. : We sometimes hear complaints, and perbaps the only cause for a great many resignations is our inability to supply the latest works of fiction to every member Within a short time of publication, A recent investigation devejoped the fact that of our large membership fully 83 per cent take out books. If we add to this those members who belong merely for the sake of visiting the chess room and a larger num- ber who prefer to read in the library, we are justified in concluding that our entire member- hip is an active one. During the year we were enabled to inaug- urate a systematic course of lectures by es- tablishing the Mechanics’ Institute as a uni- versity extension center. A course of twelve on the French Revolution by Professor H. Morse Stephens was provided. and the suc- cess of this experiment is evidenced by the fact that our assembly hall is too small for the “mnl:tr.y and the art Stephens, who is at the head depart. ment of university extension in Berkeley. has aseured us of his intention to further develop these courses of lectures. At present he is considering the advisability of a short course to be given by some of the prominent men. who will be connected with the summer school at_the university.
