EXPENSIVE KISSES.
Sirs. Barrou Gains a Point in the Suit
Against Patrick O'Connor.
Patrick O'Connor, who insisted on kiss
ing Mrs. Bridget Barron whether she
liked it or not, will have to answer her
Bait for $5000, the amount which she
claims is due for injuries to her dignity by
reason of the forcible osculation.
Mrs. Barron is the wife of Steven Bar
ron, a clerk who resides at 969 Chester
street, and O'Connor was a friend of the
family. He conceived a violent fancy for
the wife, and manifested it by kissing her
on all possible occasions. At one time while
her husband was ill, alleges Mrs. Barron,
he kissed her by force, or. several occasions
coining up behind her and catching her in
f uch a position that she was unable to re
f Bist
' O'Connor demurred to the complaint on
the ground it did not state sufficient
{.-rounds for action, but the court thought
otherwise, and gave him ten days to
answer Mrs. Barren's demand for damages.
Broke Several Ribs.
Deputy Sheriff J. W. Dutton sustained
a serious accident by falling from a buggy
yesterday morning. He was conveying a
prisoner to Fruitvale, when the horse he
wa> driving became frightened at Eigh
teenth and San Pablo and dashed down the
latter thoroughfare to Broadway and
thence to Ninth street, where the buggy
was overturned.
Mr. Dutton was thrown out and sus
tained fractures of several ribs as well as
minor injuries. He was taken to his home
and attended by a physician, who pro
nounced his injuries serious. The pris
oner. Henry Van Patten, was returned to
the County Jail.
Mr. Dutton has been very unfortunate
lately, having lost his wife in a very sad
manner a few weeks ago. She went to
Southern California to visit relatives and
while there sustained an accident which
brought on blood poisoning and caused
her death.

business men as directors. They are*

L. Charnphn, F. J. Edwards, S. P. Tate,

Did Not Pay the Bill.
Dr. Alfred Sander, Gustus Howard and
his wife. Deorena Howard of Alameda
were arraigned in the Police Court yester
day on c barges of grand larceny preferred
by "George E. Randolf, foreman" of the Oak
land Iron Works. Howard is the inventor
of an air motor and took some of his work
to the foundry, agreeing to pay $58 for the
service.
Sander, who poses as his backer, called
with him at the foundry a few days ago
and asked to see what was being done with
the motor. Randolf alleges that while his
back was turned the men carried the ma
chine out to a buggy, in which Mrs. How
ard was seated ana that she immediately
drove away with it.
The foreman claims that the bill of the
iron works is a lien on the machine and
that the trio were committing a larceny in
carrying it away before :i settlement of the
indebtedness was made. The preliminary
examination will be held this morning.
The Saloon Ordinance.
The hone of the ( ■ "nci! for the suppres
sion of the Kiloor. .Nat the City Council
would finally pass the Sunday-closing
ordinance was tariiinf Iftlt evening by
Councilman Mott, who presented the fol
lowing resolution at the opening of the
session:
Resolved, That the City Attorney be and is
hereby directed to prepare an ordinance call
ing a special election for the purpose of sub
mittintr the following questions to a vote of the
people": First, shall saloons furnishing liquors
to be drunk on the premises be closed up en
tirply? Second, shall saloons beclosed from 12
o'clock Saturday night until 5 o'clock Monday
morning?
This measure was opposed by Council
men Dowe and Towle, who thought that
the ordinance provided for by the resolu
tion could not lie legraily drawn, and that
the amended ordinance calling for the
closing of saloons from 12 o'clock Saturday
night to 5 o'clock Monday morning should
be passed. The vote resulted in favor
of Councilman Mott's resolution and City
Attorney Piersol was instructed to prepare
the ordinance, if it could be done legally,
and if not to so report to the Council at
the next meeting. _A\ hen the amended or
dinance came up it was referred back to
the Ordinance and Judiciary Committee,
which shelves it for the present.
1 .. Li. G. Steele's Estate.
The appraisers of the estate of the late E.
L. O. Steele filed their report with Judge
Frick yesterday, showing that the prop
erty left by the deceased is worth $166,
--029 31. One of the main items in the in
ventory develops the fact that Mr. Steele
was a backer of Mrs. Florence Blythe-
Hinckiey in her contest for her father 's
millions.
An entry in the inventory reads: Con
tract with Florence Blythe concerning
loans and advances made to her and com
pensation therefor, $45,000. The rest of the
property consists of real estate, shares in
mines, hotel companies and other securi
ties, worth nearly $100,000. One of the
largest items is a one-half interest in the
firm of E. L. G. Steele & Co. of San Fran
cisco, valued at $37,774 67.

lar classics, including the Kreutzer sonata
and the Saint-Saens concerto in B minor.
ALAMEDA.

the Alameda and Oakland Electric Rail
way was read before the Board of City
Trustees last evening to the effect that in
constructing its line on San Jose avenue
he employed all the available teams in
Alameda, but could not secure a sufficient
number, and in order to push the work
and not keep the streets blocked longer
than necessary he was compelled to go
outside and employ thirty-four teams.
Marshall Rogers promptly called upon Mr.
Rank for licenses, which were paid and
which he asked to be remitted in full.

WORTHLESS WAR BONDS.
Coupons IgHued in 1851 Are Barred by
the Statute of Limitation.
All outstanding coupons of the Indian
war bonds of 1851 are worthless, and
holders of them cannot now collect their
money. Attorney - General Fitzgerald
holds that they are barred by the statute
of limitation. Many thousands of dollars
worth of these coupons are outstanding,
none of which will be paid.
During the past month or so quite a
number of these coupons were presented
to ir'tate Controller Coigan. He submitted
the point to the Attorney-General, and he
has given it as his opinion that the statute
of limitation began to run agaiust the
bonds in 1890, and that they are also
governed by the provisions of the act of
1893, which required all claims against the
State to be presented within two years.
This has not been done, and the Controller,
acting under the advice of the Attorney-
General, will refuse to pay the coupons.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1895.
UNITARIAN CLUB BANQUET
Wit and Wisdom Interchanged
at the Palace Hotel
Last Evening.
WOMANLY WOMEN, MANLY MEN
Miss Anthony. Miss Shaw, Mrs.
Cooper, Mrs. Richardson and
Dr. Hirst Honored.
Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel was the
scene of a banquet last evening at which
the Unitarian Club did honors to Miss
Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Anna Howard
Shaw, Mrs. Abby Sage Richardson, Mrs.
Sarah B. Cooper and Rev. A. C. Hirst. D.D.
The floral decorations were worthy of
California's world-famed flora and the ar
rangement of the same a triumph of the
taste and ingenuity of Miss Bates. There
was a wealth of sweet peas of every shade
in rich masses and ferns trailed gracefully
over the damask. A large laurel wreath
wa3 fastened above and at the back of the
chair occupied by Miss Anthony. Behind
and above this a rope of roses was grace
fully festooned. The 170 guests took
their seats at the banqueting board
shortly after 6 o'clock, the guests
of honor and some of the distinguished
persons present sitting at the table at the
upper end of the hall, the others being
placed at the three tables at right angles
to it. Miss Anthony occupied the seat of
honor. At her right was Rev. Horatio
Stebbins, D.D., on her left C. A. Murdock,
president of the club. Seated near them
were Miss Shaw, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper,
Miss Cooper, Rev. Ada Bowles, Mrs. Steb
bins, Mrs. Van Pelt, Rev. C. A. Hirst, Mr.
Warren Olney, Mr. Eli T. Sheppara and
Mr. Sargent. Others among those seen
about the festal board were Mr. and Mrs.
S. C. Bigelow, Mrs. Winsor Brown,
Mr. and Mrs. George H. Buck
ingham, Mr. and Mrs. Lovell White, Mrs.
Austin Sperrv, Miss Sperry. George Beaver,
Miss Beaver,^fr. and Mrs. B.C. Houghton,
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Low, Mr. and Mrs. E.
C. Wright, W. E. Brown, Major Frank
McClelland. Charles Webb Howard, Mr.
and Mrs. A. S. Ilallidie, Mrs. Horace Wil
son, T. B. Church, Mr. and Mrs. MoMulien,
Mr. and Mrs. Hooper, John Peery Jr.,
Rev. Mr. Wendte, Mr. and Mrs. Knox,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fisher, Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Bun
nell, Mr. and Mrs. Moody, Mr. Clement,
Mr. Denman, Henry Swain, Mr. Eels,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bailey, Mr. and Mrs.
Bowen, Rev. and Mrs. Sprague, Mr. Spin
ley. The Century Club was represented
by some of its members.
The menus were tasteful, containing a
half-dozen appropriate quotations, one of
which, following the name of Miss An
thony, was : "Her valiant courage and un
daunted spirit more than in woman com
| monly is seen,' and that made to refer to
Miss Shaw: "Upon her wit doth earthly
honor wait, and virtue stoops and trembles
at her frown." There was an interchange
of wit and wisdom during the discussion of
] the choice menu:
California oysters on the half-shell;
green-turtle clear, English style; assorted
side dishes; paupiette of sole a la ital
ienne; potatoes gastronome; hame glace;
Cumberland fried chicken, Maryland style ;
orange punch; quarter of spring lamb;
Roman salad; new string beans, princess
style; fancy icecream; cakes; dessert;
coffee.
At 9 o'clock Mr. Murdock rose and made
a neat after-dinner speech, saying: "The
Unitarian Club is composed of 175 mem
bers, tbat number being the limit. Some
times we allow our ministers to join us, and
even permit them to speak. We exclude
the ladies, not because we think them un
worthy but for convenience. In fact the
prosperity of the Unitarian Ladies' Club
indirectly led to the organization of this.
Once a year we invite them to feast with
us and then our cup of joy is full, 33 it is
to-night. The town has been in a greater
state of excitement the past week
than I have ever known it to be
before, except, possibly, during the
sandlot riots. [Laughter.] We are glad
to have the honor of entertaining
the cause of that excitement. It was not
designed to slight the ladies by reversing
the usual order of the programme. We
let them speak last because we know how
dear to them is the precious 'last word.'
I take pleasure in calling on one known
alike for courage and courtesy, Rev. A. C.
Hirst, who will sppafc of ' The Rights ahd
Privileges of Women.' "
Dr. Hirst said: "The beauty nnd irag
rance of the riowers and the pleasure of
this hour not only emphasize the social
spirit of the evening, but the close of the
Woman's Congress. I have been thinking
a little historically about the passing of the
world into the light. As that triumphant,
beautiful dawn of the world's g • atness
came on apace we see Chaucer, Raphael,
Galileo and Copernicus symbolizing the
great new progress of that era.
''Passing on we see the spirit of liberty
unfolding in that message of the American
colonies to King George of England. And
now we see woman coming to claim her
victories. In the light of this new era we
see familiar faces — Lucretia Mott, Susan
B. Anthony, Frances Willard and Sarah
B. Cooper. And now we believe as Miss
Willard sajs, 'motherhood will be none
the less and fatherhood much more,' and
we believe the potency of consecrated
motherhood will be more and more recog
nized. Woman is coming to claim what is
rightfully hers. There are those who ask
what more woman wants than she has?
She wants what she should have— the right
of the ballot, the right of representation.
The men who represent the enriching and
uplifting element in ihe world's advance
ment do not grudge to women the rights
they ask."
Mr. Murdock said he never used words
he considered so superfluous as those in
which he introduced one of the best-known
women in the world. Susan B. Anthony,
who would talk about the rights and privi
leges of man. Loud and lon^ applause
greeted Miss Anthony. She said sne was
a little in doubt as to what she should say
to the men's club.
"A man has rights he too has a right to
demand. He has a right to be well born,
and that means to have a good mother as
well as a good father. As he grows older
he has a right to have a good sister. Later
on he has a right to a girl
friend, one who is his peer,
not a being to whom he needs to step down
to a lower plane in order to be entertain
ing. He has a right to a good wife, a real
companion. Now, I suppose you want to
know how to secure those rights. [Laugh
ter.] You voters of California are now in
a position to give yourselves these rights
by giving them to others. Women ask to
be accorded the right of choice, the right to
the development that comes with the ex
ercise of the right of franchise." She
spoke of the men who had identified them
selves with the woman -suffrage move
ment, paying a high tribute to William
Charming and Starr King. "I hope the
Unitarian rafcn will do their duty. If they
don't the orthodox men will get ahead of
them."" [Laughter.]
Mr. Murdock said: "If knowledge comes
of love and love conies from service then
no one is better fitted to talk of both men
and women than Dr. Stebbins, who needs
no introduction to San Franciscans." [Ap
plause.]
Dr. Stebbins said : "The theme which
you have suggested implies that there is
practically an incompleteness in the de
velopment of hnman nature, and then even
as a man may not be manly, so a woman
may not be womanly. I entertain no
comparison between" men and women;
there is no superior or inferior, but a diff
erence.
"There are some things On which dis
cussion does not throw much light. They
are seen or felt, as the flash on the mid
night cloud or as the genial air on the
landscape.
"What is the womanly? Will you men
of sense answer? Will the mathematician
tell me? Will political economists say?
Will lawyers decide? Will politicians
guess? Guess, decide, say, tell, answer,
ye who will. Can you do better than give
a negative and say that as there are men
who are honest but not honorable, so there
are women who are sensible but without
sensibility?
"Wherewithal, then, shall I describe it,
since the politician cannot guess it, the
lawyer does not know it, the economist
does not find it, the mathematician
says it is not with him, and the man of
sense gives no reply? Shall I illustrate it
by striking antithesis and flash on the can
vas the likeness of AdeliuaPattiand Jenny
Lind, or shall I contra.-t Solomon's thrifty
housekeeper getting breakfast by candle
light with Wordsworth's sister, of whom
he says:
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears,
And humble cares and delicate fears,
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears,
And love and thought and joy.
"There are thingethat need no discussion,
they are felt and seen, as we recognize the
lightning that flashes across the clouds.
Whai do you mean by womanly? Will
the politician, the mathematician, the prac
tical man answer? But all say it is none
of mine. Shall I answer by the strong
light of antithesis? And what shall I say
now? The womanly is that mystery of
presence and personality that idealizes
common life, changes water into wine,
fills the room with light like the
lily in Abou Ben Adhem's dream,
and saves us from the impertinent
despotism of the understanding, which
claims that the narrowing intellect
is higher than the imagination, that sci
ence is superior to art, and good greater
than beauty. The womanly is essentially
and eternally poetic, sees truth rather
than climbs to it, and sets the pattern for
ever in the mount, sings to all worlds, and
the world sends back the song, 'Ever the
womanly leadeth us on.' "
In a brief appropriate address Mr. Mur
dock introduced^ Miss Shaw, who was to
talk of "The Manly Man."
"The manly man," sne said, "is not
merely good. He is good for something.
The greatest and best men have been
brave, tender aud loving.
"They have a union of the best attributes
known as manly and womanly. Im
morality is not characteristic of the manly
man. He is strong, so commanding that
he can strike a villain dumb by one glance,
and yet so tender that he can win the love
of a timid child or the trust of a woman.
But manliness is not a mere possibility, it
is a reality and exists now. We have
those manly men beside us often, and now
is the time when the women of California
are calling upon the men, and see
how many are manly? And when the
wires flash the news of the election East
we shall know the member. 1 would
rather be a free lost soul than be compelled
to go to heaven against my will. Now,
while I am not here to promise, we'll be
good and wise when you grant us the bal
lot, and I will say that the womanly
woman will be found close to the manly
man."
Mr. Murdock called upon Mrs. Wilkes,
Rev. Ada Bowles, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper
and Mr. Wendte, all of whom responded
with appropriate addresses.
After a few farewell words, and wishes
that all might meet again about the festal
board on the next "woman's night" at the
Unitarian Club, from the president, the
guests departed at 11 o'clock.
NEARING THE CITY FRONT
Club 3 of the Folsom Im
provement Association
Organized.
Encouraging Reports of the Plan to
Bltumlnize the Street to
the Wharves.
Club 3 of the South Side or Folsom
street Improvement Association was or
ganized last evening at 813 Folsom street.
The temporary officers elected were: Leon
Samuel, cnairman; John F. Hannon, secre
tary; P. A. McDonnough, vice-chairman ;
Joseph Sophey, treasurer. Chairman
Samuel explained that the purpose of or
ganization was to co-operate with the
other clubs of the Folsom-street Improve
ment Association in the project of making
Folsom street a fine boulevard, with a
bitumen pavement from Sixth to Third
street and from there on to the water front.
Upon the suggestion of J. J. McEwen
the chairman appointed as a committee
Messrs. Hannon, McEwen and Sophey, to
be a part of an executive committee, the
others to be appointed by the several clubs
in the association. J. l)ay stated that all
of the property -ownersjon the street should
put their shoulders to the wheel and do all
in their power to see that the projected
work is curried out. In a short time
property-owners on many other thorough
lares would be demanding similar im
provements, and Foisom street would be
left in the race if the interest were per
mitted to flag.
A. B. Maguire told of the good work done
ai the further end of the street, and of the
efforts of Club 2 further down. He sug
gested the advisability of decreasing the
width of the sidewalks from nineteen feet
to fourteen or fifteen feet. In speaking of
the paving, Mr. Maguire said that under
the new law it will cost more to put down
basalt blocks than bitumen, the difference
being in the cost cf the foundations. He
said the railroad people had promised to
bituminize between rails from Nineteenth
street to Army, and he had no doubt the
same would be done to the water front if
the request was made. Mr. Maguire, in
speaking of lighting the street, stated that
from Nineteenth street out there were
seven electric lights that take the place of
forty gas lamps, at a saving of $27 a month.
He advised that electric lights be placed
the entire distance if the Supervisors could
be induced to make such an improvement
under their lighting contracts.
Captain Kaabe made an enthusiastic ad
dress concerning the improvement in the
Mission, and stated that wheelmen from
all part 3of the City repair nightly to the
bitum inized pavements on the further end
of Foisom street to enjoy themselves on
their wheels. He said the prospects of
having a modern pavement the entire
length of the street were very encouraging.
Joseph Kelly, president of club 2, prophe
sied that Foisom street would soon become
a business as well as a residence street if
the projected work was accomplished.
The trouble is that the property-owners do
not seem to be alive to the situation, and
the outsiders show more interest than
those directly concerned.
F. W. McEwen suggested that the offi
cers of the club call personally upon all of
the property-owners in the district and
draw them into line. Get them to sign a
petition for the improvement if they would
not attend the meeting.
A vote or thanks was extended to the
wheelmen of the City for their assistance at
the recent demonstration in the Mission.
A similar resolution was passed thanking
the Street Committee of the Supervisors
for their recommendation of $80,000 appro
priation.
Chairman Samuel appointed P. A. Mc-
Donald, P. Heyfron ancl F. W. McEwen a
committee to organize club 4 for the district
from Third street to the water front.
Mr. Heyfron said that he believed the
railroad would favor a wider street and
would gladly remove their electric poles
back to the edge of a decreased sidewalk,
as it would give the teams more room in
the street, thus lessening the cost of rails
injured by truck wheels.
When the club adjourned it was to meet
next Monday evening at 572 Foisom street
and organize club 4.
The unequaled strength of the Royal, as
certified by the highest baking-powder au
thorities, makes it the cheapest to use,
even at a higher price than others.
NOTES FROM THE POTRERO
Two Siberian Contracts Are
Secured by the Union
Iron Works.
BAEGES FOR THE AMOOR RIVER.
An Order From Governor Teres
chenka for a Stern-Wheel
Steamer.
Two contracts have recently been se
cured by the Union Iron Works which
may cause this community to turn its eyes
westward and take a prospect of possible
Asiatic developments, and they may be
taken as a forerunner of what is yet to
come.
The fact that they are orders from Asiatic
Russia makes them of particular interest.
As is well known, the Russian Govern
ment is building a railroad across Asia to
the Pacific Ocean— the trans-Siberian,
which is to be the longest in the world.
The terminus of the railroad is to be
Vladivostock, which is the best that can be
obtained at present, owing to its being the
southernmost point and therefore the most
favored in climate.
One of the effects of the railroad is the
coming into existence of the Amoor Rarer
Company, which has started out to take
advantage of the opportunity presented in
navigation by the river it takes its name
from.
Some time ago this company solicited
bids from all the large iron works of the
world for twenty-three steel barges, each
of 500 tons carrying capacity. Out of that
number the Union Iron got the
contract for eleven. A. Hepburn (an Eng
lish firm) secured nine and a Glasgow es
tablishment three.
Following right npon the heels of this
contract another order was placed by Gov
ernor Alexander Tereschenka for a stern- |
wheel steamer, which is to run on the
Upper Amoor. Governor Tereschenka 's
dominion extends over a territory 1500
miles in length. The dimensions of this
craft are to be 180 feet long, with 30 feet
beam. It will be built in sections and con
veyed to its destination in that shape.
The bases for the two mammoth hoist
ing engines which the Union Iron Works
commenced to build about three weeks ago
for the Anaconda mine, in Montana, are
phenomenal in size. Their dimensions are
87x30 feet square and 30 feet high. The
engines will be vertical compound, con
nected direct, and are to be fatted with
Corliss gearing. Most of the patterns are
made, and the castings are now under
way.
The Pacific Rolling-mills is fast getting
out the seventy-pound "side-bearing"
rails for the Market-street Railway Com
pany for the Sixteenth-street system and
the relaying of the Market-street tracks.
The Call takes the following terse items
from the Potrero column of the South San
Francisco and Mission Mail:
Southern Heights Is building up rapidly.
L. Bender will erect a $1500 house on Ver
mont street, near Sierra.
Charles Mclntosh is building a cottage on
Wisconsin street, near Napa.
Mr. Kinsley is having his residence on 'Wis
consin street repainted.
Division No. 9, A. O. H., will picnic next
Thursday at Harbor View.
James Glackin is building an addition to the
building on the corner of Napa and Missouri
streets.
It is reported that a wooden ware factory will
be started in the Potrero by a large Eastern
firm.
D. J. Ellis has drawn plans for a $1363 resi
dence, which la to be erected at 102 Mississippi
street.
The D. M. Ray Company has been granted
sixty dHys' time in which to complete the grad
ing of Army street, from Pennsylvania io Ken
tucky.
A grand entertainment and ball will be given
under the auspices of the St. Teresa's Hall As
sociation at Potrcro Opera-house, Wednesday
evening, July 3.
A sewer, culvert, or something in the shape
of an outlet should be constructed so as to
drain off the flat that the extension of Army
street has cut off. The warm weather is near
at hand and then the stench will be ureudura
ble.
Also the following South San Francisco
items:
The crossing of Thirteenth avenue and P
streets is to be graded.
Thirteenth avenue is to have a sidewalk,
from L street to Railroad avenue.
William McDonald's new residence on Six
teenth avenue is fast nearing completion.
A petition is before the Supervisors to grade,
sewer and sidewalk Fourteenth avenue, from
L to M streets.
The Supervisors have passed a resolution to
have Thirteenth avenue graded and sewered,
from L street to Railroad avenue.
The (jolden Gate Contracting Company has
been granted an extension of one year on its
contract to grade Ninth avenue, between 31
and N streets.
ONLY FELL TWO STORIES.
The Man With the Eight-Story
Record Retracts Just a
Little.
But Ho Gets a Verdict for a Two-
Story Fall Just tha
Same.
Michael O'Donnell, a hod-carrier, was be
fore Justice of the Peace Groezinger yes
terday with his complaint against Abraham
Newmark, a contractor, from whom he
sought to recover damages suffered by him
because of the careless manner in which
the ladder which he was required to climb
in fulfilling his duties at the building of a
house on Hayes street was kept.
On the stand the plaintiff told his story
in characteristic style. The complaint as
first made out set forth that he had fallen
eight stories, he and his hod, and had
broken or sprained his ankle, but before
the case was opened the complaint was
changed, malting it appear that he fell
only two stories, which in all reason is
enough for a first adventure of the kind.
From the plaintiff's story on the stand it
appears that the man doing the plumbing
work had dug a hole near the foot of the
ladder and wnen he (O'Donnell) was near
the top with a hod full of mortar on his
shoulder the ladder slipped in to the hole
and jarred him loose, so that with his hod
full of mortar he fell. Fortunately, a great
heap of cold mortar had been piled on the
sidewalk and O'Donnell fell straight into
it, legs first, the legs being pointed in dif
ferent directions so that in striking the
moitar they were badly wrenched and his
hip was thrown out of joint. He was com
pletely buried in the mortar and his
fellow-laborers were compelled to dig him
out and that in a hurry, his eyes and
month being filled with the biting stuff
and his eyes especially being burned by
it. This dramatic accident occurred on
March 15 and he has not yet sufficiently
recovered to permitting him to resume the
climbing of ladders.
The Judge asked if he had been drink
ing that morning, and he replied that he
had only drunk a bucket of beer and so
wan not at all intoxicated.
He sued for $275 and the court allowed
him $150 and costs.
FOSS' OPIUM AT AUCTION.
The Smuggled Drug Brought a Good
Round Figure.
The Foss opium was sold at auction by
United States Marshal Baldwin yesterday.
The 800 tins realized $3000, or an average
of $3 75 a can. This sum was a little more
i than the Government officials expected,
and the informers, who expect to receive
half of the net proceeds, were delighted.
Before the latter gentlemen are settled
with there is liable to be trouble and pos
sibly a lawsuit. At least a dozen men
claim to have given the information to the
Government that led to the seizure, and
as all cannot secure the informer's reward
there will be some tall swearing before the
matter is settled.
The opium sold yesterday was all Vic
toria opium and was intended for tran
shipment to Hawaii, where the drug is
worth $40 a pound. It came down on the
steamer from British Columbia labeled
books and was consigned to the priest in
charge of the leper settlement at Molokai.
It was seized on Broadway wharf, but the
Government found it impossible to con
demn it unti] Foss confessed before the
United States Grand Jury.
BACK TO HIS POST.
After an Absence of Over Fonr Years
Captain M. P. Maus Returns to
Angel Island.
Captain Marion P. Maus of the First In
fantry Regiment, U. S. A., stationed at
Angel Island, has returned to his post after
an absence of nearly five years. Since Au
gust 31, IS9O, he has been aid-de-camp to
Major-General Miles in New York. He
would probably have remained away
longer but for the law making it necessary
for an officer to return to his regiment at
the expiration of four years.
Captain Maus is one of the best known
officers of his rank in the army. During
the Apache Indian war in Arizona Captain
Maus, tnen tirst lieutenant, was present in
eeveral hot encounters with the hostiles,
who were led by the notorious Chief Gero
nimo. Lieutenant Maus was in charge of
a detachment of soldiers and Indian scouts.
He followed the hostiles intoSonora, Mex.,
and was in the company that was am
bushed and fired upon by Chihuahua
troops at Aros River, Mexico. In that en
counter the commander of the company
was killed and Lieutenant Maus led the
troops back to the United States. For his
marked skill and ability in conducting the
expedition back under trying and diffi
cult circumstances, he received special
mention in the War Department's reports
and records. He also received special
honorable mention from Major-General
Cook. It was during the Geronimo expe
dition, and after his gallant retreat from
Mexico that he was brevetted captain.
Since then he has acquired all the honors
and remuneration of that position.
