THOSE BEQUESTS. Funds Which Sadly Need Assistance. TRUSTEES IN A QUANDARY. Don't Know How to Start Their Training- Schools. VALUABLE BUILDINGS OFFERED, j A Philanthropist Wanted to Buy the Old Pioneer Woolen-Mills at North Beach. An admirable opportuuity for some phil anthropic citizen to come to the rescue of the youth of the city now offers itself under circumstances which would enable him. by the donation of a good round sum to bring inio use either of the, vast be quesis of James .Lick or J. C. \\ ildmerding fur the establishing of a mechanical train log school. At present both these funds seem to be unavailable for the purposes tor which they were given by the dead millionaires. The Lick trustees are petered by litigation, and the Board nf Regents of the State University, to winch body Ur.Wiinierding left his splendid gifr, is perplexed by the inadequacy of the amount, iiacniiiceui as it is. to purchase a suitable site in the city and afterward ;o maintain such a school as the testator contemplated when he made b:s will. It is conceded by all that a trainine school, in order to benefit poor boys, THE WOOLEN MILL SITE. should be located in San Francisco. If it ghould be established at Berkeley, where the B'>ard °f Regents ha 9 land of us own, it would b»* entirely heyona the reach of would-be pupils living in this city, a^d for the same reason it would. not be well to have it in auy other suburb. To purchase a site and erect a buildine in the heart of the city would cost so much that the re mainder of the fund would not be snffi cient to keep the icnonl in operation. The i=&nie tlifticulty arises in the cage of the Lick fiitid, wbieii has already Inin idle for 6evpnteen years. Within the past few days 'he trustees of i the latter fund have been offered the sub- : stantial hnck buildings owned by the ' Pioneer Woolen Mills Company and located at North Beach, for a sum which . :a acknowledged to be «xiremeJy low. The huge structures have for some years been <>ut of use, and the invested capital Is ! therefore idle. The owners, in order to realize on li. have offered it to the Li' k trust for $125,000. The offer includes the | splendid four-story brick building bounded j by Polk street. Van Ness avenue, North Point and Beach streets, together with the ' three-siorv brick building known as the workshops. The main structure is 3^4 feet 6 inches in length and 64 feet in width. The grounds include five 50-vara lots. It cost $125,000 to put up the building some twelve years ago, and 89 they are in as perfect condition as they were when first constructed. it will be seen that the proposed sale at the origiual cost price, with the valuable ground thrown in, gives an excellent chance for a bargain. 1 1 is also urged that the site and charac ter of the buildings are most favorable for the uses of a training-school. Though the location is certainly not central, yet the buildings are easily accessible by means of streetcars, which run within two Dlock* of them. Tim Hyde-street line traverses the city and transfers the east aDd westbound car?, so that from almost any section the school could be reached for one fare. In other respects a more desirable location could scarcely be found. It is | healthful and beautifully located for a pub- [ lie institution. • The interior of the big bnildinz would afford room for both the Wilmerdinp and the Lick schools. On each floor there is an enormous room, embracing almost th« the entire length and breadth of the build in i:, and perfectly lighted by windows on both side?. These would accommodate all the machinery that would be required, with lots of space to spare. The plant of the old woolen mills Is still in position. The 330-horte power engine, the 25-foot driving-wheel, the boilers and all are just •as they were when the works shut down, and it would only be necessary to replace The carding machinery on the various floor? with the machinery and appliances required in instructing pup Is how to make i a living. Bat as before stated neither th*» L'ck trust nor the Wilmerding ran afford to spend so large a sum of money as the price asked in acauiring a site, and the offer has set the trustees lcngingfor some benevol ent spirit to come to their assistance at this important juncture. With a building and ground provided the $400,000 left by j .Mr. Wilmerding or the $540,000 left by Air. Lick would be sufficiently large to support nn extensive and admirably equipped .school. v?h '■■■'':'■'■■:. President Horace Davis of tie Lick School trust is reported to have said : "We have been anxiously waiting for same one to give v-« a building." And now here is a building, practically equipped, com modious and going nbegging at what real estute men pronounce extremely low tig ures. Two deceased millionaires have | Riven enough to operate it, and inquiry is being made for a live man to donate cn uk to enable the money already given to be put into use. Johu O. Earl of the Lick trust said yes- j terday that lie had heard that a certain man in tim city would come to the «s --.instance of the pe rplexed trustees, but he failed to name the man. Nor can it be ■ said that he was very confident that the I donation would bo forthcoming. At all events the chance is at liai;d, and the trustees and Ibe public are nil the gui Vive to learn the name of the giver. A WOMAN'S DUPLICITY. JohnF. Kclley Swears Out a War- rant tor Miss Cullinan's Arrest. Kathyrlne Cullknati, tlio prepossessing youne lady who was that on Stockton street by Charles Rush on Saturday night, will soon fiad herself in an unenviable position. .Yesterday morning John F. Kelley, who is employed on the Third-street car line, appeared before Judaa Jr a 'liirnsen and swore out a warrant for M;s* Oollinan's arrest on the charee «>f 'Hnuy embezzle ment, the amount being S3O3Q. Kellev, who is a miaiiie-atied man. was 'lie of bet admirers, and he entered into an agreement with her by which she. was to buy real estate for him at iiunnvMfle and in Monterey County, valued at $3030. He paid the installments until January 16 last, and gave her money in addition to the installments to be applied toward the payment of the amount due. At that time she was secretary of the Woman's Investment Company, and after he had paid her the £3030, as . agreed mi, Kelley asked her for the deed. She said she could not give him the deed because t>he bought some land for herself when she bought the land for him, and as her.-) was not paid for she could not get the deed for either until it was paid for. Keiley then went to Mrs. Hnuter. presi dent of tlir«iiive.stiuent company, and she told him that his name was not on the company's books, ana that Miss Cullinan had evidently perpetrated a fraud upon him. lie met Miss Cullinan several times after that and she. promised to repay him, but she never did and he is now penniless.

His Sailor Friends Give Him Hearty Welcome as He Passes From the Courtroom. A jury has decided that John Tyrrell had nothing to do wi;h the dynamite ex plosion in front of Curtin's boarding house on Main street on iho night of Sep tember 23 last, whereby Edward Murphy met his death. The circumstances of the case were so widely known, and the police and District Attorney Barnes so anxious to wreak vengeance on the heartless scoundrels who caused the disaster, that the luckless being around whom the chains of conviction were wound might expect but little mercy at the bauds of administrative justice. Bui in this case it appears that suspicion fell on the wrong man, as the utmost efforts of the prosecution could succeed in establish ing no sufficient evidence on which to con vict. Tyrrell bad been in jail since September last, six months, and his actual trial be fore a jury in Judge Wallace's court, lasted nearly four weeks. Assistant District Attorney Black conducted the prosecution with his accustomed impartiality and skill, while Tyrrell found an able and en ergetic defender in Burnett G. Ba«kell. When court convened yesterday after noon there remained but for Judge Wal lace to deliver his charge to the jury. Tim Jud^e, after briefly reviewing the facts, spoke of an alleged motive lor the crime Tyrrell had been charged with, utter lne threats against Curtin's establishment, ami these utterances, if believed, Might be taken and weighed as evidence of malice. Malice need not be made up of spite. "An act is deemed to be none of malice if it is a wicked act unlawfully done, or from a malignant heart, cureless of where or to whom an injury fall." Judge Wallace Instructed the jury not to consider whether or not the deceased was a pet feet stranger to Tyrrell; the circum stances of the tragedy or crime would not permit of such an excuse being offered in mitigation. "If you find that Tyrrell did place dynamite with the intent that it ex plode, and again that such explosion did cause trie death of Murphy, \ou must find the defendant guilty of murder." Alter defining the law concerning rea sonable doubt, upon which a defendant was entitled Jo an acquittal. Judge Wal lace spoke of circumstantial evidence. The unreliability of such evidence might equally apply to both prosecution and de fense, but nevertheless such evidence should be taken and weighed for what it was worth. The law required from every one in the jury-box no more certainty as a juror than M a man. , It was 3:20 o'clock when the jury retired, and in less than fifteen minutes a verdict of acquittal was pronounced. The verdict gave general satisfaction, and Tyrrell's sailor friends i rested round him with cheers and handshakes as tie passed from the courtroom into liberty and life. Croughwell Convicted. A jury in Judge 13eichei's court has con victed Eugene Croughwell of committing hu assault with a deadly weapon upon In* daughter Anna. He was tried for an as sault with intent to commit murder.

The Southern Pacific Is Swindled. TWO CLERKS IN THE SCHEME. Expired Tickets Are Repunched and Reissued. SOLD TO TWO TICKET-SCALPERS. The Quartet Arrested by a Detective Agency and Charged With Forgery. A bold and clever scheme to swindle the Southern Pacific Kailroad Company has been unearthed. Passengers from Hie East on arriving at either Ogdtn or Portland have their tickets taken up and a new ticket is given them over the Southern Pacific systorn with their destination and the date punched on it. When these tickets were collected by the conductors they, in due course, found Iheir way into the hands of "F. A. White- side and J. H. Andross, two of the clerks in the company's office at Fourth and Townsend streets, the littler being head clerk. It whs the duty of these clerks to check these tickets and tile them. About six months ago the company be came aware of the fact that these expired trip tickets from Ogden and Portland to this city had been again used. An ex amination of the tickets showed that the work was very cleverly done, so much so tint, the conductors, who are as a rule credited with being sharp and alert at dis covering auy flaw in a ticket, accepted them as genuine. Toe original punch showed say that the ticket wat good from Ouden to Snn Fran cisco. But the ticket was repuuened say to Los Antreli's, and the date from say January to March. Aud the way the re punching nas done showed that it was the work of experts hi the business. Suspicion nr«t fell upon the conductors, aud the cas-e was intrusted to detectives. A quiet and careful watch was kept on the knlsbtl of the punch, and the hswkshaws were «a'isfieti that the iicceptauce of the tickets by then was purely an oversight. Mid thai they were not in lh« swindle. At tiie same time it showed that they had been negligent in their duly, as the re- F. A. Whitesides. punching to a r>ractice<l eye should have at Ipmsi aroused their suspicion*. The detective* had now somewhere else to look for the swindlers, and attention WM iirawn to tlie two clerk?, Wh;te«ide and Andro^s. It was 8"ou ascertained that tljpv were frequent rtsftnn to room 41. 22 Geary street, and the place was watched. This led to the discovery that the two clerks were on intimate terms with A. B. Green wald and M. Green wala, ticket scalpers, 630 Market street. Suspicion bar a me. a certainty in the mind- of the detectives that they were on the right track at last and the room at 22 Geary stieet was raided. As they ex pected they found a number of the tickets. soino repuncl-ed and others a« they had been taken fr<m the company's offices, which were seized. To ir.ake assurance doubly enre a decoy was bent to the office of Greenwald Bros, and two of the repuncbed tickets were purchased. Then It was time to act and the two Greenwalds and Whiteside and Andross were arrested yesterday after noon and taken to the City Prison, where they were booked on the charge of for gery. The officers, in sneaking of the arrests yesterday afternoon, said: "We have ample pioof thai Whiteside and Andross were io collusion with the Greenwalds, in fact the two clerks broke down and con fessed it all after they knew the game was up. "They would steal a certain proportion of the expired tickets, repuneh them and sell them to the scalpers at £."» each, and J. H- Andrcss. the scalpers sold them t > travelers at S9 or SlO each, making a profit of about 100 per cent. "They used to sell to tho scalpers about fifty at a time, which brought them in £-•?), and the last Hip whs seventy-fm, for which they pot 5375. As the business has been going on for about six months lie money paid to :hem and the profits «>arued by the scalpers must be something enormous. , "The repnncbing of the tickets was un doubtedly forgery, and by selling the tickets the Greenwalds have laid them selves 01 en to the charge of uttering forged tickets. There is a clear case against the four." An attempt was mad« to get a statement from the Greenwalas, but they professed to be utterly ignorant of why they were locked up. The two Grpenwalda were released last evening on $2000 boud», accepted by Judge Campbell. ' William Dick Satisfied. The trouble existing between William Dick and tha trustees of the estate of his daughter, the late Emma L. Cowie. have been patched up out of court. A stipula tion was filed In the Probate Court yester day, sinned by all parties, agreeing to dis miss all contests in the matter. IV is un derstood that an arrangement has be n made whereby an allowance of |M ■ month is to he made to aged William D;ck dunug his lifetime. GREEN STEPS IN. As Secretary of the State Board of Trade. Will S. Green, the newly appointed sec retary of the State Board of Trade, stepped into office yesterday, and will henceforth conduct the affairs nf that organization. Mr. Green ranks among California's earliest settlers having arrived in this city in October, 1849, coming across tbe plains from Missouri, his native .state. He at once took up his profession, that of a sur veyor, and for which lie seemed to be es pecially adapted. However, in the year 1863 he decided to enter Into the field of journalism, and as a result founded ihe Colusa Sun. which he has successfully edited to tliisdav. Air. Green intends to introduce many new plans into the modus operand] of the board, which, if successfully carried out •rill, undoubtedly, prove advantageous to the interests of those whom the organiza tion is designed to benefit. One of his first moves in that direction will be to organize in every county seat throughout the State an auxiliary bottrri whose duty it will be tolistall purchasable lands in its section and forward a correct description thereof to the headquarters in this city. This will have a tendency to do away with the notorious landmarks who victimize new settlers by false representa tions of lands and localities. Thus, when a newcomer applies to the board for in structions relative to the purchase of land, the approved map and descriptions of the various counties will be produced, and upon selection of a certain tract the buyer will be referred to the chairman of the auxiliary board of that county fur lurther information. ' None but the best lands will be allowed space on the list, and the greatest pains will bo taken to carefully guide all who desire to locate in the State, with a view of making settlers content with their pur chase and creating harmony nil round. ONE WOMAN'S WAY Why the Police Got New Instructions. Officers, Men, Prisoners and All Were Certain That They Mad ISothing to Learn. Peculiar instructions were those read to the patrolmen on reading out the watches at the police-station yesverday. Tim instructions were not to arrest a person whom the police officers might sus pect of bi-inz a man dressed in woman's cl"thes\ and thereby hangs n story. Two police officers, one uniformed and on duty, the other in citizen's clothes, chanced to meet on a Haight-street car last Tuesday. Their attention was called to a woman with a heavy masculine face and short hair. They exchanged some re marks upcn her aipearanc*. but when she asked Hie conductor a question the deep chest voice continued the suspicion that a man was masquerading in woman's at tire. Not to arouse the suspicion of the pas senger by addressing her himself, the offi cer in uniform suggested that his brother in citizen's clothes strike up a conversa tion with her. lie did so. He is one of tli" besl-looktug patrolmen on the force, and he blushed as be began his conversa tion with the *u*n;>ete«l passenger. The otbrr passengers lookrd a bit surprised. After a ride of a I»w blocks the. officer in eJ i/.'ti's clothes reported to the officer in uniform that the suspected person was a ■an. They were opposite the City Hall then, and the passenger was Invited to accom pany them. She did so, protesting vigor ously. At the sergeant's de»k she was informed of the charge, against her. She protested more Vigorously than when arrested, de claring that she was a respectable woman, a telegraph onerator in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company at a country station. Her hat bad been removed and it was seen that her hair was cut pompa dour. So Sergeant Hotaling declared bis prisoner a man. The prisoner was escorted to the upper office. Chief Cruwley was absent, but the force there coincided with the opinion of the arresting officers and Sergeant Ho taling. As the officers entered the lockup the woven prisoners shouted, "Oh, see that man in woman's clothes." It wa< derided by the authorities at the Central station that the prisoner should be placed in the custody of the matron. To this the matron demurred. The officers m si-tnii and she yielded. Not long afterward the prisoner, having been set frer, hastened do .Larkm street with heavy masculine steps vowing venge ance on the police deuariment. The matron had reported to Sergeant Uotallng that the police had been guilty ■■if a gross blunder, they had arrested an innocent woman. Hardly five minutes after the release of the prisoner a citizen came into the Centra! station mid reported that a man dressed In woman's clothes was walking up Larkin street. That citizen received scant courtesy at the poliro office, ami his story was cut short with a vehemence that surprised him. And this is why the peculiar instruc tions were read to the watches yesterday. HIS COAT ON FIRE. Why a Family Had Their Slumbers Rudely Disturbed. L'»uiß Pgoetz and his lannly. who live at 525 V* Valpncia street, were awakeued from their slumbers at an early hour yes terday rnomiDK ny a loud knocking on the front door, and they were thrown into a state of tho wildest excitement when on inquiring "Who is there?" a voice excit edly relied: "Get up, everybody; your house is on fire." Rushing downstairs, Mr. Pgoetz on opening U.e front door was confronted by a po liceman and a special officer, and his cjfaetnrv nerves for the first time made him a»are of the fact that there was lire somewhere. The officers and all the members of the family made a hurried search of the house, and a decided smell of burning ma terial accompanied them, which did not heli' to allay the excitement. Still the source of tlivs fire could not be discovered, and the ofllcer9. considerably mystified, turned to leave the house. Just then the inside lining of the special officer's heavy overcoat dropped upon the tl 'or and the smell of fire was explained. He had put his pipe in his overcoat pocket after par taking of a smoke, and the hot ashes had fallen out and set tire to the lining. The officers were profuse in their apologies and retired from the scene with a crest fallen air, while the family, muttering anathemas upon their heads, went back to their couches. Free of Charge.

The "County of the llolv Cross" had its day at the Midwluter Fair yesterday. '1 lie badges issued in honor of the celebra tion were the tnos' artistic seen thus far on the exposition grounds. They con sisted of ril«bon of yellow satin. Laving in the center a block' of poiished redwood with ili-» inscription in gilded letters, "Si ta Cruz County." A committee of ladies and gentlemen from the little city by the sea. aided by others from Watsonville, had arranged beautiful bouquets and ti.ral designs among the j irs of trait on the previous day. The emblematical cro3«, standing on a block of bitumen, was covered with calla lilies and swathed in silk. Fruit and flowers were distributed to all who called at the county's section in the Horticultural building, and the reception cuiuuiittao kept open house all day. Id the afternoon the Midwinter Exposi tion band played at .Festival Hall. Several hundred persons gathered in the audito rium. J. W. Linscott, the president of the day, made an introductory speech. He apologized for the small attendance, but offered the excuse that hundreds of Santa Cruzans un the grounds preferred the sum mery sunshiue and Sousa's music to indoor speeches. Professor Emery E. Smith, chief of the departments of Horticulture and Agricul ture, welcomed the people of Santa Cruz and paid them a neat compliment upon the exhibit they had made. He said that the Santa Cruz display had been difficult to secure. He added, however, that it re 1 aid every effort that had bpt>n put forth, since it was really one of the best of all the county exhibits. At thu conclusion of Professor Smith's remarks Mrs. Esther Malcolm Johnson read a poetical fairy tale, entitled "Santi Cruz County's Beautiful Valley of Pajaro," written by Mr*. E. O. Smith of San Jose, who was president of the California Board of .Lady Managers at the Chicago exposi tion. Dr. McCabe of Santa Cruz made an art dresp, in which he set forth in glowing terms the beauties and advantages of the county whose day was being celebrated. Mis. Johnson then read another poem. "Santa Cruz," by Geraidine Meyriek, and the exercises were brought to a close by a short speech by the president of the day, in which he spoke In very complimentary trim* of this wonderful exposition and predicted for it a wonderful success. To-day will be the first of the three-day Rugby football tournament. Each day's came will be called at 3 p. >i. on the recrea tion Grounds. The street parade of the contesting trains will precede each mutch, Headed by the exposition band, the font ball team?.

To-morrow Oregon will lace British Columbia, and on, Saturday the Canadians will do battle with the Califnrnlaus. The British Columbia tram is conceded to be the strongest of the three, and will undoubtedly win the pen nant. The California ten in has been but recently organized and the men have not played much together. To-morrow's game will undoubtedly be closely watched by a number of Stanford student?, who will be do the grounds to celebrate their day. The Saturday game of baseball on the recreation grounds will take place at 1 P. M., between St. Mary* and St. Ignatius colleges. It will probably be finished be loie the football game begins. The programme for the Stanford Uni versity day exercises is complete. Owing to ex-President Harrison's preference for an afternoon address, the evening exer cises in Festival Hall have been changed. and they will lake place at 2 p. m. Sousa's band will play an overture and the Stan ford Gleo Club will render two selections. Speeches will be made by Benjamin Har rison. David Starr Jordan, W. H. L.

Colorado Gold Mine. That the Colorado Gold Mine is a lead ing leatnre of the Midwinter Fair must be admitted by the thousands who have been fortunate enough to enter its levels. So much of it was thought of it at the World's Fair that overtures bave been made to William Keasr, the manager and principal stockholder of the mine, by Nate Saulsbury, manager for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, to have plans prepared, etc., for a Uumicatß of the mine for ex hibition in New York in connection with the Wild West, fahow. To the fertile brain of William Keast. as the inventor, is due a great deal of credit for having given tn the public a glimpse of the inside working* of a gold mine, and, strange to say, old experienced miners are loudest in their praise of the exhibition as a perfect representation of what is to be seen in the real mine, and the moment i hey enter the Fair grounds the Colorado Gold Mine is the first place they visit.

He Skated Yesterday at the Festina Lente. THE MEET A GRAND SUCCESS Plenty of Money in the Treasury, and the Future of the Club Assured. Ed Greenway skated at the Mechanics' Pavilion with the Festina Lente Club yes terday afternoon. He wore his overcoat, fur the atmosphere was quite cbillv. He I Had begged so hard to be admitted to the I club that the committee could not find it ! in their several hearts to keep him out. So it came about that when Mr. Greenway opened bis mail yesterday morning he found therein an invitation to the club's meeting as an ordinary memtwr with no say in the management or anything rise of the club. In fact, Mr. Greenway is there by sufferance. As a gentleman at the rink expressed it: "He begged so piteously and appeared to be so frightfully grief-Btricken at the prospect of being left oui that we couldn't do anything else but let him in. The average man not having been invited originally would be too proud to run after admission, but Greenway isn't troubled with that sort of thiug. If James Brett Stokes, of course, had made a personal Debt ngainsi his admittance tie could never have gotten in. But Mr. Stokes is every inch a gentleman. When be found that there was a disposition on Green way's part to force hiniself into the club he rec ognized that, being at outs with Greenway, it would be the very worst tasto on his part to makft any objection. Tha'-'s all there is to it." For the present ostensibly there is no difference between James Brett Stokes and Greenway. They nave buried the hatchet, but the grave is so shallow that an ordinary eust of wind would blow the dirt off the implement. Yet Mr. Stokes in the soul and life of the Festina Lento Club and Mr. Greenway lapses into the same place in its meetings as the averagn cbscure dude does at one of the Fiiday Night cotillons. Whatever feeling there may still exist between the two it in no wise interiered with the enjoyment of the h'rst meetiog. No less than 110 people have subscribed their S8 apiece, makiue in all §380 in the club treasury, which will insure at least fourteen meetings at the rink. Besides the olub members mere were mauy in vited guests yesterday. In fact, the Fes tina Lt-nte Skating Club proved an assured success. Tne meets will he on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2:30 to 6 p. m., the uext one being on March "17 next. A good or chestra furnished music yesterday and re freshments were served during the after noon.
