FAIR AND HIS FAMILY.
J. N. Flint's Memories of the
Dead and the Living
Members.
WAS VISITED BY PRESIDENTS.
The Millionaire's Behavior When
He Realized That He
Was Rich.
Fair was intensely practical. During his
trip around the world in 1880," when cross
ing India, he found time to pay a flying
visit to the city of Lucknow, made memor
able by the Sepoy rebellion in 1857. An
English officer in command of the garri
son, a survivor of the siege, while narrat
ing the circumstances of the heroic defense
of the position, mentioned the fact that a
large number of officers and men had lost
their lives while volunteering to procnre
water for their fever-stricken companions
from a well just outside the fort. Fair
expressed surprise, and showed how easy

a matter it would have been to procure the
much needed water without the loss of a
single life, by merely running an under
ground passageway from the inside of the
fort to the well.
When continuing his journey from Cal
cutta to Bombay, by rail, the train on
which he had embarked was almost blown'
from the track and the passengers were
well nigh stifled by a terrific tornado of
dust and sand. Fair went through the
coaches with a pail of water and a whisk
broom, freely spraying the sides, ceiling
and floor of each coach so as to make the
situation comparatively endurable, to the
great relief of his fellow-travelers.
When passing up the Hudson Fair left
the boat at West Point to pay his respects
to General Schofield, commandant of tl.e

greater part of the day showing him
through the grounds and* buildings of the
most famous military training-school in
the world.

at the breach of discipline, was about to
visit condign punishment upon the offend

for once the offense might be condoned.
The inspection ended, before taking leave,
Fair asked permission to make a sugges
tion, and then proceeded to show how the
sanitary condition of the dormitories could
be greatly improved by a system of venti
lation completely isolating the disagree
able odors of the kitchen from the rest of
the establishment.
Schotield saw the sensibleness of the
suggestion, thanked his visitor, and said
the matter would receive prompt atten
tion. *-?.:-
Fair's fertile brain devised many of the
most important improvements in working
the Comstock mines. If I mistake not, he
was the originator of the syphon system of
ventilating the mines, a large stream jof
cold water poured down one shaft produc
ing a constant down-cast current which
forced the foul air up through the next
shaft. ••*."-; ' ""
When he decided to comply with the re
quest of his friends to become the Demo
cratic candidate for the United States Sen
ate from Nevada, he set himself resolutely
at work to make the canvass, and there
was no let up in the campaign until the
day of election. If any remote precinct
lacked sufficient votes to elect a Democrat
to the Legislature it was straightway colo
nized.
The campaign closed in Virginia and
Gold Hill a few evenings before election
with a magnificent torchlight procession,
the like of which was never seen before or
since on the Pacific Coast. .
The managers of the affair were allowed
carte blanche as to expense. Six thousand
Comstock miners were in line. Democrats
and Republicans marching side by side
(by invitation) together with delegations
from Silver City, Dayton, Carson and
I Reno. Mount Davidson from base to sum- |
mit was fairly ablaze with pyrotechnics — |
I Greek fire, Roman fire and every other j
j illumination that human ingenuity could
; devise. The whistles of hoisting and re-
I duction works all tbe way from Virginia to
I Dayton, a distance of nine miles, kept up
i their discordant screechings, while cannon
j boomed and bands of music played their
i liveliest airs. Thus ended the campaign.
Winn the Legislature convened Fair was
the choice for United States Senator on
j the first ballot. He served out his full
! term (1881-87), but the Senatorial toga
1 was after all only an empty honor, politi
, cal life not being congenial to his tastes.
In 1.7- the hoisting works over the Con
solidated Virginia mine were no larger
than a miner's cabin, and the main shaft
was being sunk by tbe primitive method
of tub and windlass. Will Bray, black-
smith, at the Belcher, I remember, made
1 the first pair of cages for the mine, which
j a few months later began pouring forth
silver and gold at the rate of a million and
! a half dollars per month.
The California, Hale & Norcross, Chollar
I Crown Point, Belcher and Kentuck and a
score of other mines swelled the grand ag
gregate to enormous proportions. The ex
citing experiences of those days, never
a am to be repeated on the American con
tinent, seem to-day like a dream.
When, from the opening up of the bo
nanza mines, wealth began to pour in upon
: Fair faster than he could count it, at first
| he was inclined to be nervous and could
not sleep at night. For hours after mid
night he used to patrol the walk in front of
his house or to stop to chat with Night
watchman Pollard, waiting for daylight to
show itself in the east He soon recovered
his mental equipoise, however, when the
possession of millions was no longer a nov
elty to him. '
James G. Fair Jr. at 16 was as handsome
a specimen of physical development as one
would care to see, and he was more than
an average mentally. Although his school
training was not begun at an early period,
he was then able to cope successfully with
higher algebra, geometry and the natural
sciences, and had made a commencement
in Latin and Greek. He did not possess '
the commercial instinct and would never
have become a millionaire by his own ex
ertions. He reasoned with himself that a
money distributor was a more useful indi
vidual in a community than a money
hoarder, and, accordingly, whenever he
bad coin he did not hesitate to give it an
airing. . . { '
One afternoon I noticed him hard at
work with a crowbar prying up a wooden
! sidewalk on B street. When asked what
j was tho matter he replied that lie was try
ing, for once, to earn money by manual
labor, that he was a after alive-dollar piece
he had lost months before.
Young James was full of animal spirits,
fond of outdoor life, a lover of horses, and
was a great favorite with the men employed
in Curley Bill's livery establishment from
the time he could walk alone.
His exuberance of spirits led him to in
dulge in numberless pranks which made
him a frequent subject for parental disci
pline, and when, on one occasion, by the
exercise of a little diplomacy, I had saved
him from a severe thrashing which his
father had in store for him, he expressed
the deepest gratitude.
Charley, three years younger, was a
thoughtful, sedate, old-fashioned youth
fond of reading and study. As soon as he
was out of bed in the morning, he had
a book in his hands from which he
could scarcely be driven long enough
to make himself presentable at the
breakfast table. He had a great
passion for mechanical pursuits, prob
ably inherited from his father. He built
a miniature quartz-mill, stamps, pans
and all, for his own amusement, and used
to spend hours watching it in successful
operation. He was a natural leader of
boys of his own age, and always headed
them in expeditions that promised any
sort of excitement.
Tessie, then 10 years of age, was very
conscientious in the performance of her
school tasks, and but little inclined to
romp and frolic. In many respects she
resembled her mother. Little Birdie, too
young for the schoolroom, was uncon
sciously imbibing German from constant
association with her governess.
Fair was very much attached to his fam
ily. When his wife was away from home,
even for a short period, he missed her
greatly and used to wander about the
house at night aimlessly, not being able to
content himself anywhere. He idolized
his children and snared neither pains nor
expense in their education.
Adjoining the schoolroom was a first
class laboratory, which afforded them ob
ject lessons in chemical reagents and re-
actions. Mounted on the roof a fine Alvan
Clarke telescope gave the young people an
opportunity to study the wonders of the
heavens, and every pleasant night an
astronomical seance held there was the
chief attraction for the denizens of the
Comstock, who became wonderfully inter
ested in the subject of astronomy.
"Uncle Jimmie," as he was familiarly
called, was not at all niggardly in money
matters; neither was he inclined to ex
travagance. I never saw him actually throw
away money but once, and that was when
attending a theatrical entertainment at
Piper's Opera-house. He amused himself
between the acts by tossing new half
dollars among a crowd of bootblacks col
lected in the anteroom. The little urchins
fought, scuttled and rolled over each other
I on the sawdust floor in their eager scram
ble for the bright coins, at the same time
eyeing their benefactor j suspiciously, as if
in doubt as to his sanity.
Mrs. Fair, even in the days of their great
est prosperity, strove to inculcate in the
minds of her children habits of economy.
She preferred to devote her time to the
welfare of her family and the management
of her household affairs rather than waste
it in the frivolities of fashionable life, yet
she cheerfully gave up a couple of hours
every morning to listening to tales of dis
tress related by a crowd of people
who flocked around her door soliciting
ing assistance. For many of the idle men
she secured employment in the mines
through her husband. Her deeds of unos
tentatious charity were numberless. All
old Virginians have the kindliest remem
brance of the late Mrs. James G. Fair.
Enemies, deservedly, she had none.
The family were not wanting in hospi
tality. Fair" gave up his whole house to
the Grants during their sojourn on the
Comstock, and, together with MacKay, did
everything in his power for the entertain
ment of the distinguished visitors.
Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Fremont
and ex-President Hayes in turn found shel
ter and entertainment under the same hos
pitable roof. Time has wrought many
changes since those memorable gala days.
All of those famous personages whose ar
rival on the Comstock were greeted with
joyous acclamations, together with their
Mount Davidson host and hostess, are now
sleeping their last sleep unmindful of sun
shine or storm. * - J. N. Flint.
AN INHUMAN FATHER.
He Thrust* His Son, Who Was Clad
Only in Hi* Night Clothes. Out
of Doors. -'f.-w;
Willie. Hogue, aged 13 years, living in
the rear of 1610 Mason street, lodged com
plaint against bis father, Hamilton Hogue,
yesterday, charging him with cruelty.
According to the boy's statement to Sec
retary McComb of the Humane Society,
his father is an engineer on a steamer ply
ing between this city and Sacramento.
Since the death of bis wife he has been
living with the lad in a rookery at the
number stated.
"My father gets crazy mad sometimes,"
said Willie, "and then there's no living
with him. Last night, just as I had got to
bed, he wantei me to do something, and
because I didn't move fast enough for him
he picked me up and threw me out of
doors, and locked the door on me. I
waited a while there and was then forced
to go to a neighbor and beg for clothes or
a lodging. They took me in, and early
this morning I climbed into the front win
dow and my clothes." the front win
k and got my clothes."
Miss Lizzie Hogue, who is living with
a relative, stated that she would swear to
a complaint against ber father for cruelty
| and failure to provide. A warrant will be
I issued to-day, and pending the outcome of
j the case Secretary McComb will provide
| for the wants of young Willie.
AN ABUSED WIPE.
Mrs. M. V. Hinckley Demands the
Arrest of Her Husband.
Mrs. M. F. Hinckley of 44 Dorland street
has applied for a warrant for the arrest of
her husband on the charges of cruelty and
failure to provide. -
The unhappy wife relates a story of
cruelty on the part of her husband, who is
employed with the Pacific Can Company
on Seventh street. She relates that he
refused -to furnish her with sniHcient
money for household purposes, and that
when she remonstrated lie abused her.
"He beat me many times until I became
nearly ill," said she; "and one day he
dragged me about the room by my hair,
and wound up by holding my head under
a water-faucet until I was nearly suffo
cated. A few days ago he deserted me, and
I have no means to provide food for my
children."
Hinckley denies that he used his wife
cruelly, and alleges that she made home
unpleasant for nim. He says he is in
readiness to fight the case in . court if his
wife is determined to go there for relief.
THE STREET COMMITTEE.
It Hears the Complaints of
Some Big and Little
Railroads,
AND ADJUSTS SOME OF THEM,
The Local Franchise of the Valley
Railroad Under Dis
cussion.
Railroads and street railways occupied
the time of members of the Street Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors in their
all-day session yesterday. Chairman
Spreckels was in his place at the head of
the table during the entire day. Messrs.
Hughes, Benjamin, Morgenstern and Dun
ker were also present.
E. F. Preston, attorney for the San
Francisco and San. Joaquin Valley Rail
road, and -Engineer Storey of the road
were before the committee, presenting a
petition for a francnise to pass with the
road through the following streets and
S roperty in the south of town to China
asm:
Beginning on the northeast side of Fourth
street, opposite the junction of Fourth and Il
linois streets, to the southwest side of First
avenue South (tormerlv Honduras street) F
street South (formerly St. John street) from- the
southwest side of First avenue to the north line
of Twelfth avenue South; thence in a general
southerly direction across Twelfth avenue
South, Thirteenth, Fourteenth South, under
Fifteenth avenue South; N street, Sixteenth,
Seventeenth and Eighteenth avenues South;
Farmassus avenue, street and Thornton
avenue to Railroad avenue, opposite the center
line of Twenty-first avenue South; thence in a
general southerly direction under Thirty-sixth
avenue South, Thirty-seventh, Thirty-eighth
and Thirty-nintn avenues South, J street to the
east line of J street South ; thence along Evatt
street to the county line, "with the right to lay,
keep and maintain single or double tracks of
standard width thereon, and to operate thereon
a railroad propelled by steam, electricity or
other motive power, for the transportation of
freight and passengers for the term of fifty
years from date hereof." ;*••;'-
Mr. Benjamin wanted to know if this
franchise might not be utilized for a street
railway. Mr. Preston explained that it
would be impossible a3 the conditions of
the charter required the naming of a ter
minus of the road and also that it be built
under these conditions or the charter
would be forfeited.
The representatives of the road desired
to know if it would be necessary in this
instance to call for bids for the franchise as
required by the act of March 23, 1893.
After some discussion it was decided to
report in favor of requesting the opinion of
the City and County Attorney as to
whether the board can grant the "franchise
without complying with the conditions
imposed by the provisions of this law.
So this was temporarily disposed of.
Next came the San Francisco and San Mateo
Railway Company with an application for an
extension of their franchise to cover several
branches or feeder* connecting with the main
line, the first and principal one being an ex
tension from the junction of Eagle and Falcon
avenue, running southerly along Falcon
avenue to View street, along View street to
View avenue, to Hoffman avenue, to Twenty
third street, to Diamond street, thence to
Twenty-fifth street, to Church street, to Thir
tieth street, to connect with the tracks of the
road.
Again, commencing at the junction of Guer
rero and Twenty-third streets, connecting with
the tracks of the road, thence alony Twenty
third street to Dolores, along Dolores to
Twenty-fourth, and thence to Church, thence
along church to Twenty-fifth.
Another, commencing and connecting with
the present, tracks of the road at Sunnyside
and San Jose avenues, thence along Sunnyside
avenue to the western terminus thereof, and
thence through private property, with owners'
consent, to the conjunction of Corbett and
Ocean avenues; thence westerly along Ocean
avenue to Forty-fourth avenue, thence on and
along Forty-fourth avenue to W street to the
ocean beach. • .-""
Another, commencing at the junction of
Corbett and Ocean avenues, thence easterly
on and along Ocean avenue to San Jose ave
nue, and there connect with the tracks of the
company.
The application had two formal protests
filed against it, one by the Eureka Valley
and Corbett Road Improvement Company,
represented in person by Mr. Robinson,
and another from Donald Bruce, who was
also present. •
The railroad was represented by Behrend
Joost, its president, and other officers and
interested parties. Both sides had emi
nent lawyers, the - protestants H. N.
Clement, the railroad Michael Mullaney.
A number of speeches were made on both
sides, Mr. Mullaney declaring that Behrend
Joost deserved greater consideration than
any street-railroad man in the city for
having been the tinst to introduce the
electric motor here, that he gave more
riding for a nickel than any other com
pany and that his application for an ex
tension was to add to the usefulness of the
road, to give even more without increas
ing the charge. He denied that the com
pany was insolvent and warned those
who were "trying to harass Behrend
Joost" that that gentleman would come
on top financially and they might be glad
to beg bis consideration.
Mr. Clement declared the road could not
pay its bills and it would be folly to grant
them further concessions.
The committee took the matter under
consideration.
A petition of a number of property-own
ers and residents on Folsom street asking
that the franchise of the Market-street
Railway Company on that street be for
feited came up for hearing. It was now
late in the day, and of a small regiment of
{>eople who had come to speak for it only a
ew were left. They declared that the
company had already forfeited the fran
chise under the law; that they had stopped
running cars over the line December 1 on
the plea that they wanted to rebuild it.
They tore up two blocks, making them
impassable, and had done nothing since
except to run a one-horse car over it once a
day. The petitioners said the street was
being ruined as a business thoroughfare.
The committee decided to communicate
with the Market-street Railway Company
and get a statement from it before taking
action.
The San Francisco and San Mateo Rail
way Company was granted the right— or
rather the committee decided to recom
mend that the right be given— to lay 600
feet of track on Sunnyside avenue and
maintain it for ninety days, for the pur
pose of experimenting with an under
ground conduit system. , y "
The committee transacted a great quan
tity of routine business.
