False Pass, with instructions to allow no
vessel to pass by, and it was probable that

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
A Very Good I)<hi.ih<l in the East
Caused by Light Crops.
New Yokk, Aug. 12.— A1l the fruit
merchants in this city were talking to-day
about the high prices of fruit. Nothing
like it lias been seen here in 28 years, and
all with one accord attributed it to the
failure of the peach crou in Delaware and
Maryland. A. -F. Young, one of the
heaviest dealers In peaches, says: "There
are not in all Delaware and Maryland over
250,000 baskets of peaches this year, aud
that will be consumed at home. This
market has absorbed as mm-h as 200 car
loads of Delaware and Maryland peaches in
a single any, but we are not getting a car
load a day this year. The eu-iit or nine
carloads of Jersey prematures coming iv
consist of small, inferior fruit, but the
fruit is bringing good prices, $1 7." and $2 a
basket. In the height of the season, 10
days hence, there won't be over M carloads
of Jerseys a uay. Last year 1 handled
100.000 baskets from Delaware, but this year
1 will not handle over 1500."
"The blight in lbe Eastern orchards is a
fortunate thing for tlie growers on the Pa
cific Sot"*. They »re reaping splendid
profits just now. Within the past two
weeks," sad E. L. Goodsell, an auctioneer,
"there tiava been sold in this city over
3.000.000 pounds of California fruits, which
is unprecedented. There need to be a
struggle for the supremacy between this
city and Chicago for the best iuarket for
this fruit. Chicago is CO hours nearer the
orchards than we are, and for years left us
far behind, Consuming ten times as much
California fruit as we did. But now Chi
cago is nowhere in the race. We eat more
California fruit and pay better prices for it
than Chicago. The arrivals of California
fruit this week have been Gl cars, of which
I bar* - Li •_"_ for un aggregate sum of
$40,000. We are touring a stream of geld
into the lan of California and we cannot
help ourselves, because we have nowhere
else to go tot fruit."

Two forlorn-looking figures leaned wear
ily against the Montgomery-street wall of
the Nevada block yesterday afternoon and
teemed wrapped in each other's tales of
woe. One was Sam Newman and the other
was Tim O'Brien, who In ttifj days past
basked in the sunshine of Buckley's favor.
"Well, Sam," said Tim, "with a mourn
ful shake of the head, "1 guess we ain't in
it. Buck is gone and the old gang has no
further use for me. They accuse me of fall
ing down and refuse to trust me. The
other fellows .say 1 was too close to Buck.
Hard, ain't it?"
"Hard?" was the questioning response.
"Well. 1 should say as much. But look at
me, Tim. and tell me if you can where I'm
at. The old crowd say I'm a reorgauizer

There was a lively meeting of the Mission
Property-owners' Protective Club, which
met at Eureka .Valley Hall, on Eighteenth
and Castro streets, last night. All the
property-owners Interested were present
and evidently came prepared to fight what
they term the unjust and exorbitant assess
ments levied by the Commissioners forthe
purpose of paying for the street extensions
in the locality. Considerable enthusiasm
was manifested during tho heated argu
ments which took place in consequence
Otoe el the charges against the commls-
Moa was that lots on tho streets north of
Sixteenth street were assessed three and
even four times as much as those fronting
the street. In some cases lots on Castro
street were variously assessed from 82 to
817 40 per foot, while lots' on Sixteenth
si rent were only assessed from 80 cents to
JC per foot. This announcement raised a
stormy argument. It was followed by the
statement that a lot on the north west corner
of. Castro and Sixteenth streets was assessed
at the rato of $24 per fool, while a similar
lot on the northeast corner wns assessed at
the low rate of $i per foot. .
J.C. Hates, an attorney, addressed the
meeting, and proposed to fight the case in
the courts in consideration of tbe payment
of 5 per cent of the amount of each indi
vidual assessment, and stated that he would
give a written guarantee of success, no
payment to be made if unsuccessful.
The proposition cii ited great applause
from the members of the club.
It was then resolved that each member
contribute ft per cent of the assessment
levied on lis property and pay the same
Into the club's treasury at once.
A. Wulzen was appointed a committee of
one to confer with the attorney and ar
range details of the suit.
John McDonald was elected member nf
the executive committee, to represent the
property-owners on the north side of Six
teenth street at the future meetings of that
body, after which the meeting adjourned.

FIGHTING FOR DEAR LIFE.
McNnlty-s Latest Effort to Es
cape the Gallows.
His Counsel Abandons the Insanity Plea and
■•■».*- Endeavors to Show Mitigating
Circumstances.
Last evening Carroll Cook, the indefatig
able counselor for McNulty, took steps to
get into form some new testimony which he
hopes will Have tbe effect of Inducing Gov
ernor Markham to change the penalty for
Collins' homicide from death to imprison
ment.
The procedure, for which the attorney
admitted there is as yet no precedent, con
sisted la taking the testimony of several eye
witnesses to a brutal assauit on the con
demned man the day previous to the
shooting. In order to show mitigating cir
cumstances which were not brought out on
the trial, where the ouly defense was in
sanity. 2fyC
An invitation had been sent to the Dis
trict Attorney to be present for the purpose
of cross-examining the witnesses who
should present themselves, but as the
gentleman was out of town the inquiry
went on without him. There were 10 wit
nesses io bo examined, but of these only
four presented themselves at Attorney
Cook's oflice last evening to give their ver
sion of the difficulty which led up to Colliu_'
murder.
an ENO INK STATEMENT.
The first of these was Joseph Bassilio, an
engineer on board oue of the Black
Diamond Coal Company's colliers. lie is
the head of a family of 13, resides on his
own property at 210 Union street, and has
been in the company's employ for the past
M years. Bis testimony was th .t on the
day previous to the killing (Saturday, March
24. I*** he was on the Main-street dock
discharging and was attracted by same
trouble among the shovelers belonging to
the ship Spartan. Just then be saw Me-
X nlty rushing out of Brown's saloon, at 118
Bryant street, closely followed by George
Haskell Sr. and Collins (the deceased).
Word bad been sent down to the ship
before that, to Haskell's sons, that their
father was in trouble, and when McNulty
tame out of the saloon he was attacked by
young Haskell, who seized a stake from a
passing truck and belabored him. McNulty
at no time was the aggressor. He stag
gered from the blow and on recovering
himself immediately started to run,
pursued by the Haskell*, and their crowd.
McNulty sought refuge in the Reunion
saloon, where the proprietor gave him
shelter and barred out his pursuers. An
hour later witness saw McNulty, who was
then very drunk, and he complained of
feeling pain from the blow he got.
I'UESUED AND BEATEN.
Captain Bernbard Harde, whoso telegram
to the Governor on Wednesday last was the
means of Prolonging McNuity's life for at
leait a fortuight, was the next witness.
Be was an eye-witness of the attack de
scribed by Bassilio. and was able to describe
the occurrence wiih much more particular
ity, ms he was within a few feet of McNulty
when young Haskell struck him with the
truckstake. Tne blow, lie said, caused the
inau to spit blood. Previous to that the old
man Haskell had beeu quarreling with him,
and it was he who urged Collins to take up
his fight. Collins readily consented, and
the two men, followed by the crowd, went
down to the wharf to have it out. The
wharfinger, however, drove them away.
All this time McNulty was demanding to
know why Collins wanted to tight another
man's battle, to which the latter made vile
and threatening replies.
After being driven away from the wharf
the crown went to the Boss saloon, and a
few minutes later McNulty came running
out with his coat in his band, pursued by
the Haskells, Mike liulpin, Collins and sev
eral others, who kicked at him. threw rocks
at him, etc. It was at this stage that the
younger Haskell hit him with the stake.
CORROnOItAT.VE TESTIMONY.
Henry Elvin and Thomas K. Coghlln, two
saloon-keepers, testified to the same occur
rence, their accounts being corroborative of
the previous testimony. The only new point
brought out was in the examination of
Coghlln, in whose saloon McNulty found
shelter from bis pursuer... He testified that
tie man was so badly hurt that he stripped
Mm and bathed his injured side with
whisky.
This brought the examination to a close
for the evening. Next Monday tie testi
mony of .lames T. Fogarty, lather of the ex
deputy surveyor of the port, Mr. Wlthinßton
of the Oregon Improvement Company, Wil
liam Brown, an employe of tbe same com
pany, Bum Stryker. and a man named
Berry, will be taken, lt is also thought
that Captain J-uuson of the schooner It. W.
Wilson, now five days out from Grays Har
bor, will arrive in time to strengthen the
prisoner's position. The nature of bis tes
timony is not known, but It was given out
last night that It would be most important.
McXulty himself made a statement yes
terday of like tenor to that reported above.
It i* now in the copyist's bands, and will be
sworn to as soon as it is engrossed.
A FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.

THE NEWSBOYS' UNION.
A Tremendous ltacket In the B'Jon
Thsatrr and a. Deadlock*
The effort to organize a Newsboys' Union
at the Bijou Theater last evening met with
a temporary reverse because of the hilari
ous uproar raised by the hundred and odd
juveniles in attendance. They shouted and
whistled, stamped their feet, blew whistles
and guyed one another so riotously, that it
seemed impossible to obtain order for any
consecutive 30 seconds. One big newsboy
tried to assist the temporary chairman to
restore order by pounding a table with a
barrel stave. This started several other
gamins on the same lay and the clatter was
ear-splitting. As soon as one boy would
rise to speak a dozen of his companions
would roar "Come off the perch," "Shut
your mouth." etc. - -
C.S. Stokes, a young man with a slight
blonde mustache, who said he t>eddled only
weekly papers and did not, therefore, com
pete with the retailers of extras, succeeded
In making himself heard during a 10-miuute
speech, in which he set forth the advantages
of labor organization. The boys cheered
him often, and threw up their little bats
and kept up a terrible din when lie closed.
An effort to organize by the election of a
president resulted in a tow between the two
nominees. Barnaul and McCann. Barnard
insisted that he had been the leader of the
late strike, but McCann said he was the
leader. Tho two engaged in a wordy con
test, while the boys hooted and yelled loud
enough to nearly shatter the window glass.
The two factions were about evenly divided,
but it was impossible to restore peace so as to
reach a decision. Finally it was announced
that the union would organize at the
Market-street ferry to-morrow afternoon
nt 2 o'clock, whereupon the tumult subsided
and the youngsters made a break for the
street.
Latter From the Ferry Boys.
The following Is a copy of a letter re
ceived from the boys at the ferry:

END OF THE BOXING CONTESTS
A Large Crowd at the Olympic
Club's Second Night's Sport.
___, -_. ■.-;'.:.
There was lots of sport at the Olympic
Club last evening. It was tte windupof
the fistic entertainment and every member
retired from the gymnasium pleased and
satisfied with the bouts, some of which
created more laughter than could be had at
a minstrel show.
During the evening the winners of the
all-round tournament, which took place at
the club's outdoor grounds lost month,
were awarded the prizes won ou that occa
sion.
Manager Kolb announced that a special
medal would be awarded to Lawior, the
boxer, who was, according to the judges,
defeated by Stnl*son Thursday evening.bur,
as stated in The Call of yesterday.the de
cision was a very poor ono and unpopular
besides.
LAST "NIGHT'S CONTESTS.
Tbe contests of last eveuing terminated
in a blackened glove 10-round bout for
points between L,. Vincini and F. Paul.
Paul scored the first four points and then
Vincini woke up to the occasion aud ran
the race out on his opponent by scoring the
required number of points, which were 10.
The result of the entertainment is as fol
lows: C. Fowler, 117 pounds, defeated P.
Manning, 117 pounds, in six rounds. The
contest was about a standoff until the last
two rounds, when Fowler, who had the bet
ter stability, outclassed his opponent in
bitting and storming and won the match.
G. Kartell, 1-7 14 pounds, defeated A. Iler
got, 139 pounds, iv six rounds.
HEAVY uoc-snra*.
For wild and heavy slogging and wind
mill punching, this fight outclassed any
thing that has ever been seen ol its kind at
the club. Fowler gave "Hergot" several
stiff punches in the stomach, which weak
ened the recipient. .Neither man showed
the least particle of science, but what they
did not know of scientific fighting they made
up for in heavy -lodging, wliich more than
pleased the spectators. Kartell was civen
the decision on superior slogging.
F. Gilbert, 131 pounds, defeated W.
Thomas. 129*54 pounds.
The first round was marked by good, stiff
body-punching by Gilbert, while Thomas
tried entirely for a right at the Jaw,
The second round was very easily contest
ed. Thomas had the best of the first part.
but Gilbert finished in the lead. It was a
good hard round.
The third round was very hot. Both men
fought to a standstill. Gilbeit punished
Thomas a good deal on the body, but the
latter returned many compliments in good
style.
The fourth round was another bot one. It
was fight from start to finish, but Gilbert
having done the cleverest work won the
ma tcii.
IN TWO ROUNDS.
James McDevitt, ISO pounds, defeated
.John Moran, 134 pounds, in two rounds.
Moan started in at the order to fight in
Brand style. He had a beautiful position;
but he had no more than executed a few stvli-h
moves than ho was knocked on Ins back
by a swipe on the jaw. Before the round
ended Moran was knocked down at least 20
times. In the second round Moran was
knocked down three time**, and the referee
stopped the contest, McDevitt getting the
deci- ion.
John Maguire, 128% pounds, defeated J.
Brown in lour rounds. •_ . ■
Brown wore a face when he toed the
scratch that would cast Tug Wilson's muz
in the shade, lie rush.d Maguire and
fought like a bulldog. The latter got the
worst or it. M ami ire did better in the sec
ond round, although he got the most pun
ishment Brown was the aggressor in in*
third round and did most of the rough
work. The fourth round was exciting.
The fighters went riant at each other and
were battling hard when the g.ng sounded.
The judges were unable to decide and the
referee gave the match to Maguire.

TO HELP OUT THE CLIPPERS.
An Important Meeting; of the
Traffic People.
Manager Leeds Does a Little Figuring to Show
the Vast Saving cf Money to the
Merchants.
Joseph Leeds, the manager of the Cali
fornia Traffic Association, is not much of a
talker, but when it conies to getting down
to real hard work lie is a hustler. And
then he lias an easy way of coins* about
things which attracts very little attention,
but accomplishes startling results. When
he came to ban Francisco he had a mag-,
nificent record as a traflic manager, but the
brilliant gentlemen who do business for
Mr. Huntington smiled sarcastically and
said that Mr. Leeds was a nice man and all
that sort of thing, but that he was a back
number when it came to dealing with trans
portation problems. Leeds paid no atten
tion and sailed in to do the best he could.
Now the Southern Pacific people are begin
ning to see their mistake and are squirming
under the lash. The latest move has hurt
them badly.
There was an important meeting"at the
room-, of the Traffic Association yesterday
morning, called for the purpose of arrange
Ing with the clipper-ship owners for the
maintenance for a year of the present west
bound rates. The actual Plans have not yet
been divulged, but Mr. Leeds states posi
tively that the clippers will go on as at
present tor a year at least.
The importance of this was pointed out
by Mr. Leeds, who was inclined to be a lit
tle more communicative than usual.
LEEDS FIGURES IT OUT.
'•Understand," said lie, "while I do not
desire to belittle the clipper-ship scheme, I
do not, at the same time, consider it a big
thing. It is merely an incident iv the gen
eral fight we are making for cheaper rates.
It is safe to say that the average price paid
for freight westbound has been $11 per ton.
The clipper ships are charging Sti. Tliis is
a saving to tbe shipper of $5 a ton. Now
the indications are that the ships will carry
this way in the next year 80.000 tons of
competitive freight, which will represent a
saving of £400.000. Now, if the railroad
concludes to make a cut as well, it is easy
to see where the figures will go. The thing
is interesting to fiaure out and is an evi
dence of the amount which has been taken
from the people for freight charges. There
is no money to be made at SO by the ships,
but at SS a ton they can do well and then
save the merchants a quarter of a million a
year."
The general plan, it is understood, is to
raise a sum of about $.*v.,000 to guarantee
the ship-owners from loss, and this has
been arranged for. It will enable the ships
to keep going and will force the railroad, so j
merchants say, to come down with their ''
prices. Then the savins will be not in the
hundreds of thousands but in the millions.
it is rumored that the Board of Trade,
acting in sympathy with the Traffic Associ
ation, will indorse the competing clipper
lines. No verification of this lias yet been
made, but from present indications it is
likely to occur and will have great weight
in determining the result of the fight.
STOLEN SWEETS.
Mysterious Burglaries in n Cindy Factory
Solved.
For some time past a number of mys
terious burglaries have occurred at M. de
Martini's candy factory, at &48 Mission
street, which completely baffled the police
until yesterday, when Policeman Ryan cap
tured James Van Crombuggel and Charles
Brien in the act of entering the place.
On an average ot twice a month, for a
long while past, the place has been entered
and large quantities of goods removed,
though an examination the nt-xt morning
showed the locks and doors in the same
condition they were left in the night before.
A number of employes were suspected for
a time. Finally it was thought that the
burglars had keys to the doors, and tho firm
had the locks changed, but without effect,
for the thefts continued.
Policeman Ryan was detailed on the case
and last evening he saw the two lads lift
up a plank in the rear yard of an adjoining
house and disappear through the opening.
Investigation showed that they had crawled
under the storeroom of the candy factory
and climbed Into the floor above, where
they helped themselves to a quantity of
stock, which was found in their possession.
Both prisoners are under 16 years of nge
and freely admit their guilt.

A. feeble woman
is restored to health and strength,
by Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
tion. If you're overworked, "run-
down," or debilitated, you need it.
It's an invigorating, restorative
tonic, and a soothing and strength-
ening nervine, imparting tone and
vigor to the whole system. It's a
legitimate medicine, too — carefully
compounded by an experienced phy-
sician, and adapted to woman's deli-
cate organization. For all the
chronic weaknesses, functional de-
rangements, and painful disorders
peculiar to the sex, it is an unfailing
remedy. It's because it is unfail-
ing that it can be sold under a posi-
tive guarantee. If it fails to give
satisfaction, in any case for which
it's recommended, the money paid
for it will be promptly returned.
It is a legitimate medicine not
a beverage. Contains no alcohol
to inebriate ; no syrup or sugar to
sour or ferment in the stomach
and cause distress. As peculiar in
its marvelous, remedial results w
in its composition.
