City Trustee l'eckhani made a motion at the meeting Monday evening that the Street Superintendent be instructed to. liave it cleaned, but the : proposition met with such strong opposition from the other members that he withdrew it. A few of the property owners advocate paving the street with bituminous rock, but a majority will not constat to such improvement.

About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a young man and woman, accompanied by an old gentleman with a long whito beard and wearing a plug hat, visited the Ship-owners' and Merchants' Towboat office, at the foot of Vallejo street, and hired a tug to take them for a trip on the bay. The tug Sea Queen, Captain Lockyer, who "smelt |a mice," thought that he would have a chance to perform, the marriage ceremony, receive a good fee and kiss the bride. But he was doomed to disappointment. Tne party who had hired the tug stayed in the tug-boat office until 1:30 o'clock with . evident Impatience, when a tall elderly man with an iron-gray, mustache, and wearing a long chinchilla coat and a soft slouch hat, arrived on the dock: He joined the party, which at once embar_ed on the tug and steamed out to sea. -Captain Eockyer was • informed that tlie young couple mentioned were about to be married, and as soon as the tug was outside the whistling buoy, the three-mile limit, Lockyer slowed down and tho couple was united in marriage by the . "old gent in the chinchilla coat." The tug returned to her berth at .5 o'clock and was met by a reporter. The first per son to come ashore was the man who per formed the marriage ceremony. He re fused to give his name; said he did not know the names of the people whom lie . married, and then hurried uptown. The next per son to land was the old gentleman with the plug hat iiud. white beard. Ho told the re porter that he, too, did not know the names of the contracting parties. He said lie was a resident of this city, but refused to give his name, and went rapidly along East street to Market.- • The -reporter next ap proached the bride aud bridegroom. They were- evidently Italians. The bride could not speak .Eugiish and the bridegroom re fused to give names- or impart any informa tion whatever. - -* it was afterward learned that the rela tionship of the people who were married was uncle and niece, and it was stated by those on the tug that the man who per formed the marriage ceremony represented himself to be the pastor of the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Geary and Powell. 'Phis he certainly is not, as the Key. T. Chalmers Easton is pastor there and he is known to all reporters. It is- not improb able that the man; whoever he is, masquer aded as a parson to earn a fat fee. VETERANS' HOME. .

Doyle has given the police much trouble by. a series of larcenies' and burg laries mat he has been committing at the lower end of Second street. A watch r has been kept for him, but he managed to evade arrest- until yesterday, ■lie land James Lavender recently stole the .'yacht Jennie, and-, went off on a pleasure cruise, but when they returned over $300' worth of property, on the yacht had been stolen and disposed of by them. Lavender, for this exploit, was arrested and charged, with graud larceny, . and Doyle,- with his. usual good luck, escaped arrest. On the anii, Volkuian & Spreckter's sa loon, on Second . and King streets, was broken Into by Doyle, it is claimed," and ' several suits of clothes and other, articles stolen.- A closer search was made for the much-wanted Doyle, .who was finally- run to earth in a cellar on Stanford street, near Brannan, where be and Thomas Borden were asleep, 'Borden was charged with • vagrancy.

Elftman had been sick and unable to work for several months. He had threatened to kill himself frequently. In the case of Frederick A. Kilburn, the joung dry goods clerk who took poison, a verdict oi suicide, while temporarily insane was returned. Kilburn was out of work and penniless.

A Big Scheme to Furnish Fresh Meat to the City. Eastern Capital la in the Combination— lhe Capacity of the Works— A Hew . Town Promised. Nearly three years ago a number of the largest dealers in particularly in pork— in this city conceived tho idea of . erecting an immense slaughter-house and meat-packing establishment in Oakland, and for months the public was entertained with accounts of the progress of tho work. Finally tho echoes of this pacT-ing-house grew small by degrees and beautifully less, until at last they ceased to. bo heard and another enterprise was relegated to the tomb of departed schemes. Recently, how ever, a whisper was heard, which has grown loudmouthed. It is that a company of Eastern capital ists had formed a combination with busi ness men of large means on this Coast for the purpose of organizing and carrying on a joint stock enterprise to purchase, slaugh ter, pack and distribute -meats from a home market. Distinctly defined, tlio combination con sists of a Stock-yard Land Company, with a capital of $2,000,000; an abattoir com pany, with all appliances for slaughtering, chilling and canning, with a' capital of 53-0,0.6; a stock-yard banking institution, w ith a capital of §250,000, and a stock-yard company with a capital of 51.0U0.000. ___-H>"**_n_l, OP THE COMPANY.. ■ The main personnel of the company con sists of the following-named gentlemen and firms: In tile Kast, Nelson Morris, George F. Swift and Phil 1), Armour, whose head quarters are in Chicago and New York; George XV. Simpson, President of the George H. Hammond Packing Company of Chicago; — Cudahy, Phil D. Armour's Chicago partner; S. W. Allerton & Co., and Herman Kountz, of Kountz Bros., bankers ; oi New York, Omaha and Denver. All of these gentlemen are, to a greater or less extent, engaged in tbe meat business ln Omaha and Kansas City, in addition to the places already named. John A. Creighton, stock-dealer in South Omaha, aud N. Mer riman, proprietor of a grain elevatoT in Ne braska, are also Interested. Tbo stock holders here are Miller & Lux, J. G. James. A Co., C. W. Craig, Captain William L. Merry of Merry, Fatill & Co., E. Bessinger, K. P. Lilienthal, Henry J. Crocker, Living stone & Co., James M'cCullough & Co., Horn _ Chapman, the California sheep Casing Company, 11. S. Crocker, Kullman, - Sal* & Co., 11. J. Crocker as ' proxy, and a number of others. Tho Eastern capitalists aro represented here by Peter J. Her, who is also credited with having projected the enterprise, and who has his office at 1-1 Market street His family occupy Mrs. Miller's cottage at Baden Station, near which tho new stock yards will be located, Baden Station being a small place on the Southern Pacific Bail road, twelve miles from the city, in San Mateo County. 3S£SSnSS *. WHAT CAPTAIN MEERY SATS..:. . Speaking With reference to the proposed enterprise, Captain William L. Merry said to a Call representative last night: The company has purchased IW-O acres of laud in San Mateo County, just south of the San Francisco County line, extending three fourths of the .way across the peninsula from the bay to Laden Station, paying for the same the sum of S"60,000. This property is immediately in front of the growth and advance of ban Francisco to the south ; and inasmuch as the city cannot grow materially to the north or east, and not very far tothe west, as it increases in population it must .encroach on growth to the south,: which fact, on its own merit, makes the land a valuable purchase, and secures its enhancement in value. ; In respect to- the facilities for carrying on the wholesale fresh, meat business, San Francisco is far behind the age, and the present location of Butchertown has be come extremely objectionable and very often is protested against by both the Board of Health and the Board of Super visors. • The construction of modern abat toirs, stock-yards with all modern appli ....' -, public scales and fertilizer factories for using up the refuse: will place the busi ness on a more profitable basis, obliterate its objectionable features,. and must result in the removal of the so-called Butcher town. A STEAMER TO BE EMPLOYED. An extensive refrigerator plant will also be made available for tho preservation of fresh meats until demanded, after the style of the Eastern refrigerating houses. With regard- to accessibility, there can bo no better place in the vicinity of ' San Fran cisco, while the climate is the very best pos sible for the purpose. At Sierra Point, where the company's land abuts, iv the bay, wharves will be constructed and a special steamer employed for the transportation of delivery wagons from the abattoir to the city front. . These deliveries can he made with con venience to all parts of the city, effecting a great saving over the present hard teaming on the Butctiertown road, which has been almost, impassable winter after winter. Purchasers desiring to visit the works can do so. more leadily by steamer and return more promptly than by horse-curs or buggy, as at present. ' CAPACITY OF THE WOHKS. ff'-'f- The works will be constructed with a ca pacity nearly double the present demands of the city, which can meanwhile be availed of for the packing of fresh meats, obtain able at prices which permit competition in the East. How much packing cau be done will depend upon the price of the fresh meat which can be purchased at a figure permitting competition with Missouri ami other Eastern packing points. The probabilities are that beef can re- quently be handled to advantage in compe tition with Eastern points, but the produc tion of swine in California is so limited that at present, and unless producers devote attention to this branch of stock-raising, it* is not likely that there can be successful competition with the great corn-growing' sections of the middle West.'where nothing can be grown to advantage except corn and pumpkins, and where laud is cheaper than in the valleys of the Pacific Coast. A NEW TOWN WILL GO UP, The project promises to be one of ma terial benefit to the city of Sau Francisco, and will soon build up a town on the lands of the company contiguous thereto. The capital stock of the joint investments is $3,500,000, which includes the value of the .laud. As to the depreciation' of the value of property in Buchertown, resulting from the proposed change of location, il is not thought probable that any depreciation will occur, for the reason that the tract will be crossed by the Southern Pacific Railroad . when it makes its Santa Barbara connec tion. Its nearness to the city will make it valu able property after it is filled up, the nuisance abated and a railroad is running through it. Any decreased valuation at first occurring will soon be compensated by the subsequent development and improve ment that will follow.

A member of that denomination, who is con versant with the facts concerning the con tract applied for, said to the Union that the person who wili supply the building is none other than Miss Elizabeth Drexel, the philanthropic Philadelphia heiress,' who is going through a novitiate to determine whether her vocation is within or without convent walls.

The Construction of the Customs Administrative Act.. The Customs Department at this port, as well as the merchants who import goods, have been in considerable of a stew for. the past few days over many questions which have come up under the provisions of the Customs Administrative Act which will go into effect on August Ist. A number of merchants who have goods on the way here wanted to enter them at once, so as to avoid paying the extra' fees Hud expenses of the new system, but in re ply ; to a telegram of Collector Phelps, Sec letary of the'- Treasury Windom said that such a course is unnecessary, as all goods in transit prior to August Ist could be en tered as of July _lst. -:- c - Then another question came up in regard to the goods now in the bonded' warehouse, and, acting under the advice of attorneys; there was a big rush of importers to have their goods out of the bonded warehouse before the end of July. Section 9 of the circular issued a short time ago by the Treasury Department in explanation of the new act reads as follows: :, It Is the opinion of the department that Sec tion 20 of Ihe new law permits- the retention of merchandise lo bonded warehouse lor more thau one year, and not more than ihree years, from, date of importation, without llie Imposition of ■ the -diJilion.il duty ol 10 per centum provided by Section 2970, llcvised Statutes, upou lis with drawal lor consumption. In order to understand this construction, Collector Phelps telegraphed:- "Suppose the year expired before the Ist of August, but tho merchandise still remained in the warehouse,, would the additional duty of 10 per ceut provided by Section 2970 ac crue '<■" To which Secretary- Windom tele graphed back, "Xo." ' Said a prominent Custom-house official yesterday: 'This construction. of the de partment is most liberal to merchants. Under it goods, which are really liable to this duty of 10- per cent extra will- be freed from it, and that too after all the merchants fully expected to pay it. The department at Washington is evidently bent on con struing the customs laws in the light most favorable to the importer." AGAIN KULED OUT. I'.odrliiiK mid Cowles* limit for the Own-. ers of the Hope Ranch. .- .'-.'.: Again, and for the third time. Judge tint has ruled out the complaint of the vexed suit of Joseph Redding and Nor thrope Cowles against the members of the firm of Tallant & Co., involving the well known and extensive Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara County. _fr__\ Bedding and Cowles purchased it of John T. Hope in July, 1887, for $26,000, and. exe cuted a mortgage to Hope as security for payment. In December following they paid for one-fourth of the ranch;, .and then Tal lautdied. In closing the affairs of Tallaut & Co. it was never legally settled who owned that ranch, and ever since Bedding and Cowles have been receiving notices from the several members of the couipany that they claimed the ranch, either entirely or in part, and demanped individual settle ment with them accordingly.' First Marguerite and John Hope sent such a notice, claiming the whole ranch; then a similar claim came from the Tal lants; then one from Bose and- George Higby, with A: E. llerlick claiming' only a certain interest. Now Bedding and Cowles are anxious to pay the remaining $19,000 on the ranch and lift the mortgage, but from among so many claimants they cannot tell whom to pay. They therefore brought this suit to have the courts. decide who the owners are, but the court persists in. holding that such is not the proper course. They 'must figure as interpleaders in a suit between the sev eral claimants. Their first complaint, like wise first and second amended complaints, were ruled out on demurrers, as not stating a cause of action. FIVE UNFORTUNATES.
