The Solano had the rail on her port side damaged, while her main, fore and jiirgrr rig'g-ing: were carried away. The Rithefs fore topgallant mast was carried away, her bowsprit was smashed, catheads were damaged and her jibboom and fore skysail mast were torn out of position. It .will require several thousand dollars to repair -the damage. The Solano was twenty-five days from Elcele and brings 22,131 bags of sugar to Williams, Dimond & Co. The schooner Sclano and the bark R. P. Rithet had a lively smash-up in tho bay yesterday morning. -The Solano crossed in over the bar under pail and threw out her anchors abreast of Black Point. A stror.gr Hood time was'run ning at the time and carried the Solano down on to the Rlthet, which was lying at anchor just off Alcatras Island. The two vessels grot twisted up In great shape for a while, despite the efforts of their crrws. . The stmng currents carried them apart for a moment and then would swing them together again with great force. At one period it looked as if the urpcr portion of both would be smashed to pieces.

Harris expresses astonishment that his wife -should have sued him for di vorce, for, he sd!ys, she well knows that he has been ill and unable to work for six years and that long ago he retired from business and since, then he and his wife have been .\ dependent upon their children for maintenance. During the almost half a century of their mar ried life,- the aged man says, he never once * treated his wife cruelly \ nor did he '.neglect her. , his • only offense being that age and weakness compelled ' him to " cease '\u25a0' in ; his " efforts to accumulate worldly goods.

The opinion says: I In the absence of any State or local law em powering the municipal autnorltles. much less obligating them, to contribute to the support of the State Normal School. I am firmly of. the opinion that no such contribution can b* made. Putting aside the matter or location, which I consider a false equation, no on* would con ceive it possible for . this city to contribute from, the revenues to any such purpose. Cer tainly, no such contribution could be made to the support of the State Normal .School In San Jos*, In Loa Angeles, In San Diego or in Cfclco. No one would have the hardihood to suggest It, and yet those schools owe their establishment and maintenance <to the same . authority, the laws governng them are the same, their course of study and purposes are the same; and no doubt they contribute 'as competent teachers to the State's corps of Instructors as the school located in San Francisco. \u25a0 . . The maintenance of a State Normal School existing under the direction and control of tho State, as la ' a • State : asylum . or a State fair, is not related :' to ". the public business of the city, and county. of San Francisco, - nor a prob able expenditure of the city and sjpunty - gov ernment.
