Girl Is L Found. Marie Vide, a Spanish girl about 10 years of age, was found wandering along Bush street on Wednesday night by Special Officer Stearn. She told him she had been with her uncle purchas- ing a hat en Stockton street, but lost him in the crowd. As she had only arrived here from Honolulu about three weeks ago, and could speak.Eng- lish only imperfectly, she was unable to tell where she ifved with her untle, not knowing the name of the street. Stearn took her to the City Prison/and placed her in charge of the matron. Her uncle, Basilio Badlo, 710% Taylor street, found her yesterday afternoon. He said the girl was an orphan. —_———— Sewing Machines for Rent By week or month, at low rates. The| Singer is acknowledged .the lightest |running and most. convenient of any.

The taking of depositions in the case of the Spring Valley Water Company against the city and county of San Francisco over the fixing of the water rates was resumed yesterday afternoon in the office of Attorney M. B. Kellogs. The entire afternoon was taken up with the deposition of George H. Reynolds regarding the selling of bomds of the company many years ago. According to the deposition, the divi- dends of the company for the year ur to the present time amount to $352,300. The deposition then recited the selling of bonds in the East by the company. Most of its business there was conduet- ed by Donahue and Ralston, brokers. In 1863, according to the deposition, the Spring Valley issued bonds to the amount of §$350,000. These were trans- ferred daily to the East by means of a pony express, about $10,000 worth being shipped at each trip. PRESENTS OLD DEMAND ON CITY FOR ITS PAYMENT Philadelphia Hardware Dealer Wants | Claim Incurred in 15835 Paid by the Board of Supervisors. J. C. Coulston, a hardware dealer at 5145 Haverford avenue, Philadelphia, filed a communication yesterday with the Board of Supervisors stating that He has in his possession' a warrant numbered 975, drawn against the county of Ban Francisco for $75, dated March 7, 1855, to the order of I L. Riddle. The warrant was presented for payment on April 2 and returned un- paid and marked “not paid for want of funds,” signed R. E. Wood, by George ‘W. Lanning, deputy. The warrant Is alsg signed by James Grant, County Auditor. Coulston makes demand for the payment of the claim, which he will forward on request. There seems to be but small hope:that the demand will be cashed by the City Treasurer, as the charter expressly forbids the payment of the claims of one year out of the funds of another year.
