GENERAL IMS SCHEME TO ASSIST EZETA. Tug Barclay Golden Char- tered for San Salvador. ALMOST READY TO START Every Preparation Made in the Most Mysterious Manner. FOUR GENERALS TO GO ALONG. The Vessel Was Formerly the Katie O'Neill, But Has Been Fitted Up Furposely. When the little tuc Barclay Golden makes an effort to clear for Acajutla she will probably run afoul of the Federal authorities. At the Custom-house it Will .oil what her mission is and what she : to take along. The Barclay Golden has been chartered by the Central Anferican Development any, of which Manuel Casin is General Casin is the right man of ex-President Antonio f San Salvador, and General ia now at Acapulco. Mexico, lg for General Casin and three others of his revolutionary lieutenants to nine along in the tug Barclay Golden and he!]' him to make a larding on the Salva- coast. 'The ultimate destination of the Barclay Golden is the port of La Libertad. if she can ever get that far. Ithas not been the easiest thing in the for General Casin to carry his scheme into execution. Some time after Ezeta left this City for the land SalYadoranos on board a Centra; American bound steamer, and up in full martial uniform, Casin returned. E/eta never >_ot any larther than Mexico, though "Monkey"' Bustamente did. and the man of a hun- dred fires, "Cienfuegos," as his admirers called him, was promptly taken from the of Sydney by the Salvador- ind was put into a miserable little jail as a preliminary to having him shot. Ezeta and Casin have been doing consid- erable planning and plotting since then, and the upshot of it .°H is the formation American Development .. the chartering of tne tug Barclay Golden. No money of the recreant brother of has been put into this venture, the wrecker of Sslvadoran ri nances, is living in Paris, France, in very comfortable style and is not worrying Himself much about Central American af- fairs. Carlos and Antonio are not aniigos buenos, and do not cable to each other the friendly salutation spelled "Como e:-ta listed." but pronounced with a lisp. Everything might have run along smoothly enough, though, as it was with- out Carlos Ezeta's help, because < u':i:i has ?ome c >ney • :" his own and was liberal enoffi*K tS-'fleirajT'dll "^Ahtonio's^eXpenses" when the latter was in this City issuing proclamations to his sympathizers down the coast. A hotel bill and steamboat fare came out of Casin's pocket, and even the price of a general's full uniform was cov- ered by him. But "the trouble with, the little expedition now 11 contemplation is that the officers and crew of the ttuc became fearful of evil and there hare been four captains in as many -Hay?. The Barclay Golden is now lying at the end of the %'oal bankers of John Rosenfeld <fc Sons, at Mission wharf No. 3. She was formerly the tug Katie O'Neill. Captain O'Ne:l!,"whochristeued"her after the name of his daughter, did not rind her a profitable craft. .Finalily she drifted into tie hands of the Pacific Marine Supply Company. She was up at Eureka for some "lime, but a little while ago Captain Donaldson brought her down from Coos Bay with \u25a0 carge of coal. She i? now taking on coal, and from all ap- rearances will not load much of anything pise, but. her passengers are to be four Central Americans/ who occasionally come over from Oakland and take a look at her. Besides these, passengers she is to take their baggage. What the trunks and pack- ing bor:- are to contain i? as yet a matter of conjecture. ' General .Casin. has been making Oakland his headquarters. \u25a0-\u25a0 The trouble with the officers and crew has been that the four Central Americans have acted bo mysteriously and always communicated in" Spanish. Fears of a filibustering expedition of some kind were the logical effect, in the heads of the navi- gators, of the mystifying demeanor of the nun who had chartered trie tug. That General Casin, as president of the Central American Development Company, had chartered the tur was stated last night by Alfred Greenebanrn, the manager of the Pacific Marine Supply Company. Captain Donaldson was the first to yield to his impressions. Last Saturday nieht he gave up the command of the vessel and was succeeded by Captain Green. Soon Green backed out and Captain Motley was m paged. His term of service was very brief, and up to date her commander is Captain John Peterson. Captain Peter- son handled the wheel once before when the boat was the Katie O'Neill. The intention had been ail along to start yesterday, but. what with the trouble of Eecuring a captain who would be willing to run some risk on a moderate master's salary and the time required for some- needed alterations and repairs to the boat, her departure lias been thus far delayed and it is not yet definitely settled when she willsail. The tug has been pretty well fixed up. She has a new wheelhouse, at least it looks new with its coat of white paint, and new boilers are being put into her. She has also a new shoe. Those who are able to give information say that she is going down to San Salvador to embark in the business of towing lighters for the Central American Development Company, but this avowed object in view did not assure Cap- tain Donaldson, and when he turned over they keys to Captain Green his reason for doing go was that "the arrangements did not suit him." About the best speed the little tag has been known to make is thirteen Knots an hour. She ran stand a good sea and ail k:nri3 of weather. For quite a while the Katie O'Neill lay at Main-street wharf waiting for a job. It came and with it a complete overhauling — a new name, and masters that describe the weather in a different tongue and with more music and less emphasis than she has been accus- tomed to. The programme is for the four Central American generals to board her when they get ready, sail for San Salvador if the cus- toms officers can be satisfied to clear her, stop at Acapulco on the way, and after t.. at— well, they know that best, but "tow- ing lighters" is their story. She willsail under the American flag. There are water-front stories to the effect that the first thing she will do upon ar- rival at Acapulco is to take Antonio Kzeta aboard, and the next thinp to be accomplished is to effect a landing on the Salvadoran coast, where Ezeta's sympa- thizers are prepared 10 welcome him and rally to his side of the Presidential con- troversy. C?siii has ambitions of his own and needs Kzeta in his business. MRS. BELL'S BILLS. They Are Being Exploited in Judge Coffey's Court. The claims of D. Samuels against the estate of Thomas Bell were before Judge Coffey yesterday. The claims aggregate over .$16,000, and reach over a space of nearly ten years. The claims were all acknowledged by Mrs. Teresa Bell, the widow, but though she contracted them she refuses to pay them. The claims from every source which are before the court amount up to over $200,- --000. and the contention of the claimants is that some of the valuable real property belonging to the estate should be sold to assist in the payment. Mrs. Bell does not want to sell any of the real estate, for, she Bays, there are funds sufficient to pay all claims if the creditors will be reasonable. Experience has led them to believe, how- ever, that Mrs. Bell does not want to pay, and so the suit is being pressed. As a sample of the claims against her. and the extravagant manner in which the widow spends money, the bill of P. F. Butler, the milliner," may be' cited. The bill includes the months from February to October, 1892, and it shows that she pur- chased ninety -seven hats in that time. There are lace hats, black hats, gray, green and brown hats, sailor hats, bonnets, der- bys. felt hats, theater hats, street and call- ing hats, nats with plumes, with aigrettes, with flowers and with ribbons, hats for herself, for children, for friends, hats re- trimmed, reshaped, remodeled hats big and little, cheap and expensive, plain and with all manner of ornaments upon them, and the total is $1201. She has not paid the bill yet, and Mr. Butler is one of the claimants. It will be a week before all the anxious creditors are satisfied. SHEEHAN WILL RESIGN Pepositors of the People 's Home Bank Were Told so Last Night. Movement to Have the Expenses in Liquidation Reduced — A Lively Meeting. About 100 of the depositors in the Peo- ple's Home Savings Bank in liquidation met in Foresters' building iast evening to hear the report cf the executive committee and ascertain the condition of the bank's affairs at the time. T. H. McCarthy, chair- man of the committee, presided ; the other members present were E. F. Kendall, Thomas Mahoney, A. L. Cassavan, N. Morcaum and T. S. Williams. Secretary Kendall read a lengthy report of what the committee has done in con- nection with the management of the bank, the litigation that is pending and what was done in the matter of selling the I'a- citic Bank property, all of which has been given from time to time through the col- umns of The Call. Communications addressed to the Bank Commissioners asking for a reduction of expenses in the management in liquida- tion were also read. One was from the California Safe Deposit and Trust Com- pany and the other from John W. Cole- man, J. C. Johnson and T. S. Williams. These sbo.w that at pr§2e.njj t hL- oilice«xent. is $?'" monthly. $250 salary per month to Manasrer Sheehan and $125 a month to a bookkeeper, "an expenditure at this junc- ture too lavish to wind up the affairs of a defunct bank and too much to draw from the money that belongs to tue poor.". Thomas Mahoney, one of the commit- tee, presented a minority report in which he objected to the postponement of the meeting of depositors called two months ago anil wanted it understood that it was not. with his consent or authority. He insinuated that the gold of the trust com- pany bad had something to do with the postponing of the meeting by two of the committee. He found fault with all that had been done" up to date by the trust company. and the other members •of .the committee and said that Mr. Williams' . : assertions that the depositors' interests are well guarded were not well ". founded. He charged. Mr. Williams with having told a depositor whose book calls for $600 not to make his book over to the trust company. He also charged that Chairman McCarthy bad announced he would resign, but that he afterward declared that he would not resign until -after the affairs Jia'd been wound, up. He wanted to know -what caused the change. "Why," said Chairman McCarthy, with a smile, "he's giving all the secrets away." v^.*f \u25a0 . : \u25a0 Mr. Williams, who is the depositors' representative on : the board of directors, explained that the meeting had been post- poned upon the advice of the depositors' attorney, who suggested that, in view of pending negotiations a meeting would be unwise and would do much more harm than good. He pro- nounced as senseless the inference that the trust company's gold had anything to do with the matter. He then entered into a long account of what had been done by the committee and tnen read figures entered in the books of the company since Sheehan had been in charge, showing that in a period of seven months the sum of 542,905 of the people's money had been expended. Of this Sheehan received $4000 and Attorney Watt $4700 as ealary. The trust company has suc- ceeded in reducing the waste ,of money and cutting expenses down to $445 a month. He also read items from the book to show how Sheehan wasted money. One item in the aggregate was $97 for adver- tising the sale of vaults. The most of this was given to weekly papers that were paid more than the dailies, and which the speaker said "were papers in which per- sons wishing to buy bank vaults would never seek the advertisement of such." He charged that Sheehan paid out money uselessly under the guise of exam- ination of mortgages and lands to men were politicians. He also referred to |500 paid to T. Carl Spelling and said: "This matter remains unanswered. Shee- han has not answered. He threatened to prosecute me criminally for what I said in this matter, but he has not done so." In regard to the Pacific Bank property he said that some of the bids made some time ago were rejected although the sum of $1^3,000 had been offered for it. William Marlowe, a depositor, wanted to know why $50,000 belonging to the de- positors, now with the trust company, was not distributed. A. I). Pike declared that Mr. Maloney, who presented the minority report, meant well, but sometimes talks through his hat. Mr. Williams denied the charge of hav- ing advised % $<JOO depositor, but admitted having told a $10 depositor that his amount was so small that it was not worth the bother of transfer. He said that if any depositor was dissatisfied with his course and would make a motion for him to resign he would do so. Mr. Pike announced that after a careful examination he had arrived at the conclu- sion that in time the depositors would re- ceive in all about 66 cents o:i the dollar. The litigation over the Pacific Bank would prevent the giving of a dividend at Christ- mas. He did not think it would be wise at this time to ask for a distribution of the |60,000 alluded to by Mr. Marlowe. A motion to increase the committee to fifteen was lost, as was one to instruct the committee to wait on capitalists and. ask them to bid on the Pacific Bank property. Mr. Pike said that Sheehan had told him if the depositors did not get a dividend soon he would resign. <;. Conani, a real-estate man and de- positor, gave it as his opinion that the Pa- cilic Bank property was wortu more than has been offered for it. J. A. Foster offered a resolution to the effect that the depositors urge the Bank ( lommissioners to demand of the directors of the bank that the expenses of manage- ment be reduced to $Ji.Xj a month. This was unanimously adopted. A vote of confidence in the committee was adopted. A depositor made the statement that General Sheehan had told him he would resign very soon. SOLICITORS GET TANGLED. The Harbor Commissioners .Have a Chinese Puzzle on Their Hands. The runners for the Pacific Transfer Company and Morton's Special Delivery had another battle royal yesterday, but on this occasion it was Morton who was on the defensive and the transfer men were the aggressors. The whole matter is very complicated, and there will be a lively wrangle over it at the meeting of the Harbor Commissioners this afternoon. Tirey L. Ford, the board's attorney, is to give an opinion, and the chances are that all runners and solicitors will be barred from the wharves, while a ship is docking and the passengers landing. The present status of affairs is about as follows: The Pacific Coast Steamship Company lents Broadway wharves 1 and li from the State, and for a consideration they grant the Pacific Transfer Company the exclusive right of working their steam- ers, and also those of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. The San Fran- cisco and North Pacific Kailroad Company rents part of the water front and one of the ferry slips from the State, and for a con- sideration it also gave Morton's Special Delivery the privilege of working the steamers. When Morton's men invaded the Broad- way wharves Superintendent Bennett of the steamship company ordered them off. They refused to go and were put off. Then Morton got out an injunction, and when the case came to trial the court held that the exclusive use of the front could not be granted to any one rirm or individual. Ever since Morton's runners have been swarming on the steamship company's wharves, and in order to secure tne trade the Transfer men have to board the steam- ers i:ithe bay. The new phase in the case came up yes- terday. Morton's men were working the steamer Tiburon, and one o* the Pacific Transfer Company's men jumped the fence and began soliciting. The attention of Agent A. F. Magrain was drawn to the matter and he ordered the runner off. He refused to go and a lively scramble ensued. The Morton men went to the agent's as- sistance, and Gas White, the Transfer man, was thrown out. Then other runners came np and demanded admittance, but tiie sight of Sergeant Tom Mahoney soon quelled the disturbance. Immediately after the trouble was over, Genera) Manager Whiting of the railroad company wrote a communication to the Harbor Commissioners demanding that a big board fence be put up and that no one be permitted on their wharves with- out permission. The Commissioners are now in a quandary, as according to the ruling of the court they cannot bar any one from the wharves, nor can they grant the exclusive use of any portion of the front. The matter will probably be carried to the Supreme Court. SAY IT IS BROKERAE. The Court's Opinion of the Montgomery Marriage Pre- liminaries. Mrs. Morrison Is Not Allowed to Re- cover in Her Suit for Com- pensation. Judge Daingerfield has decided the suit of Mrs. Morrison apainst Mrs. Rodgers by declaring the contract entered into by the parties, and which is the basis of the suit, an illegal agreement. The suit was for $_'SO,OOO for services rendered by Mrs. Morrison in bringing about a marriage between Mrs. Kodgers, then Miss Green, ; and the late Alexander Montgomery. At the time of the contract the then Ifi b Green had Montgomery's promise! that he would marry her, but as he seemed unwilling to fullillthe promise given she secured the offices of her sister in the mat- ter, and her sister brought about the join- ing of the two. Mrs. Morrison claimed thut her sister li3d promised her ample compensation for her services, and al- though she came into over $1,000,000 by the marriage, she has never recognized the obligation sho was under. The con- tention was that the contract was illegal, as being a marriage broterage contract, and this view of counsel was adopted by the court. The contract is therefore set aside by the sustaining of the defendant's demurrer, and in rendering his decision Judge Daingertield says, among other things: Jf >fontgomery hart known of plaintiff's eon tract before h is marriage he probably would have never married the defendant. At any rate the contract is of a class whose object is generally best achieved when the contract, is secret. It is no answer to say that he was morally bound to marry the defendant. The contract is substantially like a marriage brok- erage contract When Montgomery declined to keep his promise to marry, ths defendant could not compel a specific performance of the con- tract. The law does not compel marriages of j this kind, but gives damages for breach of promise. Ifhe chose to pay the damages rather than consummate the marriage, his legal obligations would be fulfilled upon such payment. What ! his moral obligations were we do not know and nre not concerned with. The parties were as far apart legally when plaintiff's aid was invoked U they would have been if no promise or cohabitation hed ever existed. At this stage plaintin" succeeded in procuring a new contract. The transaction was essentially one of marriage brokerage. Courts look askahceat agencies that are most effective when the fact of agency is most secret. Hired agents must not interfere with the sacred affairs of the heart, unless they can rely upon the good taithand business honor of tlifir principals without hope of aid from the courts. FRANK GOBEY DEAD. Pneumonia Outs Short the Well-Kuown Saloon-Keepnr'g Life. Frank Gobey, the well-known saloon- keeper, died yesterday at his home, 236 Sutter street, from pneumonia. He was ill only three days. Gobey was born in Canada nearly fiftv-severi years ago and he came to this coast in 1850. Like the pio- neers of those times, he went to the inte- rior and followed mining for twelve or fifteen years with varied success. With sufficient capital he came to this city and started in the saloon business, which he and his brother, Jesse Gobey, have followed ever since, acquiring a con- siderable fortune. In 1877 liobey estab- lished the saloon at 228 Sutter street, and his patrons have made his name known all over the coast. Gobey leaves a daugh- ter, who is now in Rhode Island visiting his mother and sisters. He went East re- cently to see the family and returned only three days ago. Itis believed that he con- tracted the disease while crossing the mountains.

Greggains, the Buckleyite, Is Discharged From the Mint. HE DIDN'T OBEY ORDERS. A Story of Daggett's Municipal "Push" Politics in the Thirtieth District. Superintendent of the Mint Da?gett has "fired" Alex. Greggains from his $4 a day job in the Mint for displaying "per- nicious activity" in the interest of Chris Buckley. Gfeggains; didn't heed Daggett's orders to his employes to get out and hustle for the Daggett- Rainey-McNab reformers and on Saturday last the Siskiyou boss taught him and others a lesson. When -Mr. Dag- gett gives political orders to his Govern- ment employes from the Thirtieth or any other district when primary politics are going on, he proposes to be obeyed, and other Mint employes, who might dearly like to chase around again with "Buck's" Jambs, as the grass seems to turn green again, will now know the peril of it. The discharge of a man from the United States Mint because he didn't do as he was told with the "push" in a south-of- Market-street district wiil give Congress- man Maguire some more ammunition, and as the victim is a very valuable and very popular district politician and a loyal friend of Buckley, the incident will in- tensify the bitter and rapidly growing hostility to Daggett among 'the Buckley- ites and other elements of the party. 7 ; ; ; Ji Alex. Greggains is a big, good-natured and quite good-looking fellow, who has long been leader ,of the Fire Department "push," as it is termed, in a large south- of-Market region, especially ' in .'the! Thirtieth District. He used to.be in the Fire Department and is now ' a strong leader among the boys." . He can organize a small regiment ami do valiant practical politics most any time for the chief to whom he gives hi* fealty for thick or thin. "When he was doing politics most regu- larly Buckley and Kainey were partners, and perhaps they equally shared his re- spect and allegiance. When Daggett took the Mint and gave his friend Rainey a show at the patronage Greggains was one of the men that Kainey put in. He be- came a workman in the coiner's depart- ment at $-1 a day a year and a half ago. ' Perhaps Sam Kainey thought that a man that He had found a job for ought to stand by him when he was engaged in lighting Buckley for decent terms in an- other partnership; but, anyway, when Greggains got to. his nice little flat on Shipley street, last Saturday. a little after noon, the mail-carrier had left for him the following: The Mint of the United States ) at Bah Francisco, Superintendent's > Office, November 30, 1895.) Alex. Greggains, Esq., Workman in Coiner's Department, United States Mint, San Francisco— Dear Sir: You are respectfully informed that your services will not be required on and after "this date, viz.: November 30, 1895. Ke- spectfully yours, John Daggett, Superintendent. Greggains hasn't been around to/ the Mint or to the St. George stables making any inquiries. He has been to the Occi- dental Club mostly, and Buckley and the rest up there stand by such loyal friends. Daggett must report thje,. discharge to the Director of the Mint for his formal ap- proval, which would ordinarily be given, but in this case there may be a littla "in- terference." \u25a0 ' "All I Know about it is that after I quit work at noon and got home last Saturday I got this notice," said Greggains last night at the Occidental Club. "Well, I ain't caring particularly. I'm staying by my friends, and that's what I always do. "Of course, it's because I'm up here and nothing else. Daegett never told me to get into his fight alter that time when he stood everybody up and told them to work for Watkins against O'Brien, when that election came off a few weeks ago. Dag- gett didn't call me in until the afternoon before Watkins was elected that night. I'd been out hustling for Jim O'Brien clear up to that time. I was off that day : to go to a funeral, and Daggett sent the watch- man out to hunt me up and bring me to his office. He said that he wanted Wat- kins elected and that .he was lighting Buckley. I told him Buckley and Kainey were my friends. He said Kainey is lighting Buckley. I; said that Kainey wasn't; he said that he was. If Kainey was fighting Buckley I didn't know it then. He said that if "Rainey didn't fight Buckley he'd fight him. "Well, he said he wanted me to get out and do what I could. I told him 1 wasn't a member of the committee and couldn't get him any votes, but he said he knew what. I could go on the outside. I says, 'Well, it's too late now for'fne to get out and get anybody to .switch that I've asked to vote for O'Brien,' but he asked me to see what I could do. No, he didn't make any threats, but he said things that you would know meant something. "Well, I got out and perhaps I did what I could and perhaps I couldn't do much. I was around there at the meeting that night, but 1 saw they had it and I kept still. Well, after that Daggett told me that he wasn't having anything to do with local politics— only National politics. Well, I supposed he meant it, and I supposed after Watkins was elected I could do as I wanted. 1 had to get out and protect myself, and I'm a friend of Buckley's lust as I am of Rainey's. I'm, a friend of Rainey's.and always have been. I don't know how he stands on this; I haven't been to see him yet. "I suppose that at that meeting a week ago Saturday night, when Watkins tried to adjourn the committee, they counted on me standing in with them. I was there with some of my friends to, help see that our friends didn't get the worst of it, and you know Fitzgerald and I had some words up by the platform. I guess they saw how I stood, and -then, when I was upon the platform; Iwas introduced to Judge Magnire, who ' shook hands with me, and I suppose somebody told Daggett about that. One day" Daggett met me in the corridor of, the Mint and asked me if I was in Maguire's district. He swore and said that he'd run Maguire out of town. I've always been friendly to Maguire. Since Maguire and the pa- pers have been going for Daggett again lately I suppose he got madder yet and says to himself, ' That's one of those "f— 1 - ,' and off goes my head." '. v The arrangements for the Junta's en- rollment on Thursday, Friday and Satuf^ day evenings were further completed last night. This evening the district delega- tions of twenty-five in the general commit- tee will meet and organize to look after the enrollment as Hollows:' .

The organized carpenters and joiners of this City have won a victory. Contractor (j. W. Hansbrough, who has the contract to erect the eight-classroom schoolhouse on Haight street, near Masonic avenue, has come to terms, and the carpenters who were called off the job Saturday night re- turned to work yesterday morning. The strike that threatened to be lasting and annoying was quickly settled by the con- tractor acceeding to the men's demand for higher wages. When the carpenters went to work a week ago they were a little uneasy, be- cause they feared that Hansbrough would not pay tne standard wages of $3 a day minimum-. On Saturday night their fears were realized by the contractor paying but $2 50. The situation was reported to Business Agent Johnson, who cailed the men out and told them not to return to work until the trouble was settled. An account of the difficulty was pub- lished in Sunday's Call and 10.000 carpen- ters and innumerable other union work- men watched for the outcome with a keen interest. The union had only a few weeks before adopted a rule that $3 should be the wages for a day's work of eight hours, and this, being City work, was about the first large job to cause trouble en the score of wages. There was great surprise that Hansbrough, who before he became a con- tractor was a union carpenter, should by his action become a "cheap" man. Early yesterday morning Business Agent Johnson, representing the District Council of Carpenters and Joiners, was on the ground, accompanied by the men he had called out, the men going back for their tools. Hansbrough was there ahead of them. The conversation between the contractor and the business aeent was brief and to the point, the former readily agreeing to pay the standard wages demanded. Five minutes later the whole force was at work again, making the chips fly and the ham- mers ring. Allthe carpenters are delighted that the threatened trouble should have been averted so easily and speedily. HOUSE-RENTING RATES. Real Estate Agents Meet to Agree Upon a Uniform Commission. The Profits of the "To Let" Business Depend Upon the Landlord's Liberality. An informal meeting of prominent real estate men took place last night in the oflice of Baldwin &Hammond at 10 Mont- gomery street for the purpose of agreeing upon a uniform commission for house- renting. Heretofore agents have worked to a disadvantage in that they have been subject to the peculiar location of the property to be leased and to the liberality or anxiety of the landlord. In the matter of a proposed sale the owner, when he places the property in the hands of the real estate man, is duly bound to abide by his agreement, and no transaction can take place outside of the actual sale, but in renting a landlord may rent his house and the agent may find his "To Let" bill on the building torn down by the new tenant or the landlord without any official or business notification. The rates of commission have swung all around 10 per cent — sometimes higher,"but more often lower—and the real estate agents have come to the conclusion that this matter wiil bear regulation. The meeting was attended by representatives of the linns of Bovee, Toy A Co., O'Farrell & Co., Shainwald & Buckbee, O. F. 'von llhein, A. J. Rich & Co. and Baldwin & Hammond. i G. D. Toy was chosen chairman fand S. Buckbee secretary. A number of sugges- tions were made as to a uniform rate, but njthing definite was agreed upon. It was the sense of the meeting that the agent is getting somewhat the worst of the house- renting business, and if the matter was not regulated to a uniform rate the house- owner will be permitted to dispose of his own building and dicker with his tenants in accordance with their desire to get un- der a roof, and also in accordance with their means and tastes. A member of Umbsen & Co. expressed his doubts as to anything like success comine from the conference of real estate men. Therateqf commission, he thought, would be practically governed by peculiar conditions, the prominent and general one being the landlord's anxiety to find a renter and the activity he displayed in get- ting that tenant himself and getting out of the 10 per cent commission. The meeting adjourned without any- thing being definitely settled except that house-renting to the agent was not a method of acquiring wealth. Another meeting will be held at Bald- win A Hammond's office on the evening of December 21. HOTEL AEEIVALS. GRAND HOTSIk J ADoestin, Palo Alto J Woodburn. Saeto J Klenk.

HE IS CHARGED WITH FORGERY. Passed Checks Purporting to Be Signed by Mrs. Bell, Widow of the Late Capitalist. Bayard Saville was brought from' Oak- land last evening by Sergeant Duncan and booked at the City Prison on the charge of forgery. On November 4 Saville went to 11. P. Wakelee's drug-store, on Polk and Sutter streets, and asked H. L. Pockman, the manager, to cash a check for $75. The check was drawn on the Bank of Califor- nia, and pumorted to be signed by Teresa Bell, widow of the late Thomas Bell, the capitalist. Pockman knew Saville as an employe of Mrs. Bell, and as he did not have the money himself he crossed over to the office of the Sutter-street Railroad Company and got the check cashed by Secretary Stevens. Stevens had occasion to go downtown, and he presented the check at the bank for payment. To his surprise he was told it was worthless. Saville had meantime returned to Wake- lee's drugstore and asked Pockman to oblige him by cashing another check for $600. While they were talking Stevens entered the store and informed Saville that the bank refused to cash the check. Sa- ville expressed his regret and said -Mrs. Beli must have made a mistake by getting hoid of the wrong checkbook. He would go at once and see about it and would leave his valise just to show that he would re- turn. He did not return, and when the valise was opened it was found to contain two or three shirts and some pairs of socks. A few days later Saville presented a check for $b'sO on the Bank of California signed by Mrs. Bell to William McCracken of the Lick House Laundry. McCracken advanced him $30 and $20 at different times on the check and then he found it was worthless. He reported the matter to the police and Detective Ross Whit taker was detailed on the case. Whittaker as- certained that Saville had gone across the bay, and he sent his description to the po- lice in Oakland and Alameda. Detective Denny Holland arrested him on Broadway, Oakland, yesterday morn- ing. Holland had learned that a man answering Saville's description had been getting money from the Young Men's Christian Association, Roman Catholic priests and prominent citizens on the plea that he was a penitent ex-convict, so he determined to look out for him. "When he met him on Broadway he placed him under arrest. Saville made a grab for a revolver that was in his hip pocket, but Holland was too quick for him. "Let me have it," pleaded Saville. "I don't want to injure you, but I want to end my miserable existence." Holland kept hold of the weapon, how- ever, and took his prisoner to the City Prison. He then telephoned to police headquarters here and Sergeant Duncan was sent to bring him over. Wakelee, the druggist, ha 3no intention of prosecuting him, but McCracken swore to a complaint charging him with forgery. Saville came here seven or eight years ago with a wife, who was a victim of con- sumption, and shortly after taking up their residence here she died. He did not come under the notice of the police till the fall of 1891. On August '61 he presented forged letters of introduction to the late Senator James G. Fair, and on the strength of them he «ot $300. He was arrested for obtaining money by false pretenses, and oh October 12 he was sentenced to three years in San Quentin. He was discharged on January 13, 1894, and soon afterward secured employment on Mrs. Bell's ranch, in Napa County, where he remained till about two months ago. It was through his employment on tfiis ranch that Pockman and McCracken got acquainted with him. He is a well-educated, fine-looking man, of good address, and is said to belong to a wealthy family in Maryland. Captain Lees says he is one of the cleverest confi- dence-men that has ever visited the coast, and could get money out ot the most stony- hearted of men by his nerve and plausible ways. biiville, when seen in the City Prison, re- fused to say anything. He had not yet consulted an attorney, nor had he seen any of his friends.

GENERAL IMS SCHEME TO ASSIST EZETA.Tug Barclay Golden Char-

tered for SanSalvador.

ALMOST READY TO START

Every Preparation Made in theMost Mysterious

Manner.

FOUR GENERALS TO GO ALONG.

The Vessel Was Formerly the KatieO'Neill, But Has Been Fitted

Up Furposely.

When the little tuc Barclay Goldenmakes an effort to clear for Acajutla shewill probably run afoul of the Federalauthorities. At the Custom-house it Will

.oil what her mission is and what she:to take along.

The Barclay Golden has been charteredby the Central Anferican Development

any, of which Manuel Casin isGeneral Casin is the right

man of ex-President Antoniof San Salvador, and Generalia now at Acapulco. Mexico,

lg for General Casin and threeothers of his revolutionary lieutenants tonine along in the tug Barclay Golden andhe!]' him to make a larding on the Salva-

coast. 'The ultimate destinationof the Barclay Golden is the port of LaLibertad. if she can ever get that far.Ithas not been the easiest thing in the

for General Casin to carry hisscheme into execution. Some timeafter Ezeta left this City for the land

SalYadoranos on board aCentra; American bound steamer, and

up in full martial uniform,

Casin returned. E/eta never >_ot anylarther than Mexico, though "Monkey"'Bustamente did. and the man of a hun-dred fires, "Cienfuegos," as his admirerscalled him, was promptly taken from the

of Sydney by the Salvador-ind was put into a miserable little

jail as a preliminary to having him shot.Ezeta and Casin have been doing consid-erable planning and plotting since then,and the upshot of it .°H is the formation

American Development. . the chartering of tne tug

Barclay Golden.No money of the recreant brother of

has been put into this venture,

the wrecker of Sslvadoranrinances, is living inParis, France, in verycomfortable style and is not worryingHimself much about Central American af-fairs. Carlos and Antonio are not aniigosbuenos, and do not cable to each otherthe friendly salutation spelled "Como e:-talisted." but pronounced with a lisp.

Everything might have run alongsmoothly enough, though, as it was with-out Carlos Ezeta's help, because < u':i:i has?ome c >ney • :" his own and was liberalenoffi*K tS-'fleirajT'dll "^Ahtonio's^eXpenses"when the latter was in this City issuingproclamations to his sympathizers downthe coast. A hotel bill and steamboat farecame out of Casin's pocket, and even theprice of a general's fulluniform was cov-ered by him.

But "the trouble with, the littleexpeditionnow 11 contemplation is that the officersand crew of the ttuc became fearful of eviland there hare been four captains in asmany -Hay?.

The Barclay Golden is now lying at theend of the %'oal bankers of John Rosenfeld<fc Sons, at Mission wharf No. 3. She wasformerly the tug Katie O'Neill. CaptainO'Ne:l!,"whochristeued"her after the nameof his daughter, did not rind her aprofitable craft. .Finalily she drifted intotie hands of the Pacific MarineSupply Company. She was up atEureka for some "lime,but a little whileago Captain Donaldson brought her downfrom Coos Bay with \u25a0 carge of coal. Shei? now taking on coal, and from all ap-rearances will not load much of anythingpise, but. her passengers are to be fourCentral Americans/ who occasionally comeover from Oakland and take a look at her.Besides these, passengers she is to taketheir baggage. What the trunks and pack-ing bor:- are to contain i? as yet a matterof conjecture. ' General .Casin. has beenmaking Oakland his headquarters. \u25a0-\u25a0

The trouble with the officers and crewhas been that the four Central Americanshave acted bo mysteriously and alwayscommunicated in" Spanish. Fears of afilibustering expedition of some kind werethe logical effect, in the heads of the navi-gators, of the mystifying demeanor ofthe nun who had chartered trie tug.That General Casin, as president of theCentral American Development Company,had chartered the tur was stated last nightby Alfred Greenebanrn, the manager ofthe Pacific Marine Supply Company.

Captain Donaldson was the first to yieldto his impressions. Last Saturday niehthe gave up the command of the vessel andwas succeeded by Captain Green. SoonGreen backed out and Captain Motley wasmpaged. His term of service was verybrief, and up to date her commander isCaptain John Peterson. Captain Peter-son handled the wheel once before whenthe boat was the Katie O'Neill.

The intention had been ail along to startyesterday, but. what with the trouble ofEecuring a captain who would be willing torun some risk on a moderate master'ssalary and the time required for some-needed alterations and repairs to the boat,her departure lias been thus far delayedand it is not yet definitely settled whenshe willsail.

The tug has been pretty well fixed up.She has a new wheelhouse, at least it looksnew with its coat of white paint, and newboilers are being put into her. She hasalso a new shoe. Those who are able togive information say that she is goingdown to San Salvador to embark in thebusiness of towing lighters for the CentralAmerican Development Company, but thisavowed object in view didnot assure Cap-tain Donaldson, and when he turned overthey keys to Captain Green his reason fordoing go was that "the arrangements didnot suit him."

About the best speed the little tag hasbeen known to make is thirteen Knots anhour. She ran stand a good sea and ailk:nri3 of weather. For quite a while theKatie O'Neill lay at Main-street wharfwaiting for a job. It came and with itacomplete overhauling

—a new name, and

masters that describe the weather in adifferent tongue and with more music andless emphasis than she has been accus-tomed to.

The programme is for the four CentralAmerican generals to board her when theyget ready, sail for San Salvador if the cus-toms officers can be satisfied to clear her,stop at Acapulco on the way,and aftert..at— well, they know that best, but "tow-ing lighters" is their story. She willsailunder the American flag.

There are water-front stories to the effectthat the first thing she will do upon ar-rival at Acapulco is to take AntonioKzeta aboard, and the next thinp to beaccomplished is to effect a landing on theSalvadoran coast, where Ezeta's sympa-thizers are prepared 10 welcome him andrally to his side of the Presidential con-

troversy. C?siii has ambitions of his ownand needs Kzeta in his business.

MRS. BELL'S BILLS.They Are Being Exploited in Judge

Coffey's Court.The claims of D. Samuels against the

estate of Thomas Bell were before JudgeCoffey yesterday. The claims aggregateover .$16,000, and reach over a space ofnearly ten years. The claims were allacknowledged by Mrs. Teresa Bell, thewidow, but though she contracted themshe refuses to pay them.

The claims from every source which arebefore the court amount up to over $200,---000. and the contention of the claimantsis that some of the valuable real propertybelonging to the estate should be sold toassist inthe payment. Mrs. Bell does notwant to sell any of the real estate, for, sheBays, there are funds sufficient to pay allclaims if the creditors will be reasonable.Experience has led them to believe, how-ever, that Mrs. Bell does not want to pay,and so the suit is being pressed.

As a sample of the claims against her.and the extravagant manner in which thewidow spends money, the bill of P. F.Butler, the milliner,"may be' cited. Thebill includes the months from February toOctober, 1892, and itshows that she pur-chased ninety -seven hats in that time.There are lace hats, black hats, gray,greenand brown hats, sailor hats, bonnets, der-bys. felt hats, theater hats, street and call-ing hats, nats with plumes, with aigrettes,with flowers and with ribbons, hats forherself, for children, for friends, hats re-trimmed, reshaped, remodeled hats bigand little,cheap and expensive, plain andwith all manner of ornaments upon them,and the total is $1201. She has not paidthe bill yet, and Mr. Butler is one of theclaimants. Itwillbe a week before all theanxious creditors are satisfied.

SHEEHAN WILL RESIGNPepositors of the People 's Home

Bank Were Told so LastNight.

Movement to Have the Expenses inLiquidationReduced

— A LivelyMeeting.

About 100 of the depositors in the Peo-ple's Home Savings Bank in liquidationmet in Foresters' building iast evening tohear the report cf the executive committeeand ascertain the condition of the bank'saffairs at the time. T. H. McCarthy, chair-man of the committee, presided ;the othermembers present were E. F. Kendall,Thomas Mahoney, A. L. Cassavan, N.Morcaum and T. S. Williams.

Secretary Kendall read a lengthy reportof what the committee has done in con-nection with the management ofthe bank,the litigation that is pending and whatwas done in the matter of selling the I'a-citic Bank property, all of which has beengiven from time to time through the col-umns of The Call.

Communications addressed to the BankCommissioners asking for a reduction ofexpenses in the management in liquida-tion were also read. One was from theCalifornia Safe Deposit and Trust Com-pany and the other from John W. Cole-man, J. C. Johnson and T. S. Williams.These sbo.w that at pr§2e.njj thL- oilice«xent.is $?'" monthly. $250 salary per month toManasrer Sheehan and $125 a month to abookkeeper, "an expenditure at this junc-ture too lavish to wind up the affairs of adefunct bank and too much to draw fromthe money that belongs to tue poor.".

Thomas Mahoney, one of the commit-tee, presented a minority report in whichhe objected to the postponement of themeeting of depositors called two monthsago anil wanted it understood that it wasnot. with his consent or authority. Heinsinuated that the gold of the trust com-pany bad had something to do with thepostponing of the meeting by two of thecommittee. He found fault with allthat had been done" up to dateby the trust company. and the othermembers •of .the committee andsaid that Mr. Williams' .:assertionsthat the depositors' interests are wellguarded were not well ". founded. Hecharged. Mr. Williams with having told adepositor whose book calls for $600 not tomake his book over to the trust company.He also charged that Chairman McCarthybad announced he would resign, but thathe afterward declared that he would notresign until -after the affairs Jia'd beenwound, up. He wanted to know -whatcaused the change.

"Why," said Chairman McCarthy, witha smile, "he's giving all the secretsaway." v^.*f\u25a0 . :

\u25a0 Mr. Williams, who is the depositors'representative on :the board of directors,explained that the meeting had been post-poned upon the advice of the depositors'attorney, who suggested that, in view ofpending negotiations a meeting wouldbe unwise and would do muchmore harm than good. He pro-nounced as senseless the inference thatthe trust company's gold had anythingto do with the matter. He then enteredinto a long account of what had been doneby the committee and tnen read figuresentered in the books of the company sinceSheehan had been in charge, showing thatin a period of seven months the sum of542,905 of the people's money had beenexpended. Of this Sheehan received$4000 and Attorney Watt $4700 asealary. The trust company has suc-ceeded in reducing the waste ,of moneyand cutting expenses down to $445 amonth.

He also read items from the book toshow how Sheehan wasted money. Oneitem in the aggregate was $97 for adver-tising the sale of vaults. The most ofthis was given to weekly papers that werepaid more than the dailies, and which thespeaker said "were papers in which per-sons wishing to buy bank vaults wouldnever seek the advertisement ofsuch."

He charged that Sheehan paid outmoney uselessly under the guise of exam-ination of mortgages and lands to menwere politicians. He also referred to|500 paid to T. Carl Spelling and said:"This matter remains unanswered. Shee-han has not answered. He threatened toprosecute me criminally for what Isaid inthis matter, but he has not done so."

In regard to the Pacific Bank propertyhe said that some of the bids made sometime ago were rejected although the sumof $1^3,000 had been offered for it.

William Marlowe, a depositor, wanted toknow why $50,000 belonging to the de-positors, now with the trust company, wasnot distributed.

A.I). Pike declared that Mr. Maloney,who presented the minority report, meantwell, but sometimes talks through his hat.

Mr. Williams denied the charge ofhav-ing advised % $<JOO depositor, but admittedhaving told a $10 depositor that hisamount was so small that itwas not worththe bother of transfer. He said that ifany depositor was dissatisfied with hiscourse and would make a motion for himto resign he would do so.

Mr.Pike announced that after a carefulexamination he had arrived at the conclu-sion that in time the depositors would re-ceive in all about 66 cents o:i the dollar.The litigation over the Pacific Bank wouldprevent the giving of a dividend at Christ-mas. He did not think it would be wise atthis time to ask for a distribution of the|60,000 alluded to by Mr. Marlowe.

A motion to increase the committee tofifteen was lost, as was one to instruct thecommittee to wait on capitalists and. askthem to bid on the Pacific Bank property.

Mr. Pike said that Sheehan had told

him if the depositors did not get a dividendsoon he would resign.

<;. Conani, a real-estate man and de-positor, gave itas his opinion that the Pa-cilic Bank property was wortu more thanhas been offered for it.

J. A. Foster offered a resolution to theeffect that the depositors urge the Bank( lommissioners to demand of the directorsof the bank that the expenses of manage-ment be reduced to $Ji.Xj a month. Thiswas unanimously adopted.

A vote of confidence in the committeewas adopted.

A depositor made the statement thatGeneral Sheehan had told him he wouldresign very soon.

SOLICITORS GET TANGLED.The Harbor Commissioners .Have a

Chinese Puzzle on Their Hands.

The runners for the Pacific TransferCompany and Morton's Special Deliveryhad another battle royal yesterday, but onthis occasion it was Morton who was onthe defensive and the transfer men werethe aggressors. The whole matter is verycomplicated, and there will be a livelywrangle over it at the meeting of theHarbor Commissioners this afternoon.Tirey L.Ford, the board's attorney, is togive an opinion, and the chances are thatall runners and solicitors willbe barredfrom the wharves, while a ship is dockingand the passengers landing.

The present status of affairs is about asfollows: The Pacific Coast SteamshipCompany lents Broadway wharves 1 andlifrom the State, and for a considerationthey grant the Pacific Transfer Companythe exclusive right of working their steam-ers, and also those of the Oregon Railwayand Navigation Company. The San Fran-cisco and North Pacific Kailroad Companyrents part of the water front and one of theferry slips from the State, and for a con-sideration it also gave Morton's SpecialDelivery the privilege of working thesteamers.

When Morton's men invaded the Broad-way wharves Superintendent Bennett ofthe steamship company ordered them off.They refused to go and were put off. ThenMorton got out an injunction, and whenthe case came to trial the court held thatthe exclusive use of the front could not begranted to any one rirm or individual.Ever since Morton's runners have beenswarming on the steamship company'swharves, and in order to secure tne tradethe Transfer men have to board the steam-ers i:ithe bay.

The new phase in the case came up yes-terday. Morton's men were working thesteamer Tiburon, and one o* the PacificTransfer Company's men jumped thefence and began soliciting. The attentionof Agent A.F. Magrain was drawn to thematter and he ordered the runner off. Herefused to go and a lively scramble ensued.The Morton men went to the agent's as-sistance, and Gas White, the Transfer man,was thrown out. Then other runnerscame np and demanded admittance, buttiie sight of Sergeant Tom Mahoney soonquelled the disturbance.

Immediately after the trouble was over,Genera) Manager Whiting of the railroadcompany wrote a communication to theHarbor Commissioners demanding that abig board fence be put up and that noone be permitted on their wharves with-out permission. The Commissioners arenow in a quandary, as according to theruling of the court they cannot bar any onefrom the wharves, nor can they grant theexclusive use of any portion of the front.The matter willprobably be carried to theSupreme Court.

SAY IT IS BROKERAE.The Court's Opinion of the

Montgomery Marriage Pre-liminaries.

Mrs. Morrison Is Not Allowed to Re-cover in Her Suit for Com-

pensation.

Judge Daingerfield has decided the suitof Mrs. Morrison apainst Mrs. Rodgers bydeclaring the contract entered into by theparties, and which is the basis of the suit,an illegal agreement. The suit was for$_'SO,OOO for services rendered by Mrs.Morrison in bringing about a marriagebetween Mrs. Kodgers, then Miss Green, ;and the late Alexander Montgomery.

At the time of the contract the thenIfib Green had Montgomery's promise!that he would marry her, but as he seemedunwilling to fullillthe promise given shesecured the offices of her sister in the mat-ter, and her sister brought about the join-ing of the two. Mrs. Morrison claimedthut her sister li3d promised her amplecompensation for her services, and al-though she came into over $1,000,000 bythe marriage, she has never recognizedthe obligation sho was under. The con-tention was that the contract was illegal,as being a marriage broterage contract,and this view of counsel was adopted bythe court. The contract is therefore setaside by the sustaining of the defendant'sdemurrer, and in rendering his decisionJudge Daingertield says, among otherthings:

Jf >fontgomery hart known of plaintiff'seontract before his marriage he probably wouldhave never married the defendant. At anyrate the contract is of a class whose object isgenerally best achieved when the contract, issecret. It is no answer to say that he wasmorally bound to marry the defendant. Thecontract is substantially like a marriage brok-erage contract When Montgomery declined tokeep his promise tomarry, ths defendant couldnot compel a specific performance of the con-tract. The law does not compel marriages of jthis kind, but gives damages for breach ofpromise.Ifhe chose to pay the damages rather than

consummate the marriage, his legal obligationswould be fulfilled upon such payment. What !his moral obligations were we do not knowand nre not concerned with. The parties wereas far apart legally when plaintiff's aid wasinvoked Uthey would have been ifno promiseor cohabitation hed ever existed. At thisstage plaintin" succeeded in procuring a newcontract. The transaction was essentially oneof marriage brokerage. Courts look askahceatagencies that are most effective when the factof agency is most secret. Hired agents mustnot interfere with the sacred affairs of theheart, unless they can rely upon the goodtaithand business honor of tlifirprincipalswithout hope of aid from the courts.

FRANK GOBEY DEAD.Pneumonia Outs Short the Well-Kuown

Saloon-Keepnr'g Life.Frank Gobey, the well-known saloon-

keeper, died yesterday at his home, 236Sutter street, from pneumonia. He wasillonly three days. Gobey was born inCanada nearly fiftv-severi years ago and hecame to this coast in 1850. Like the pio-neers of those times, he went to the inte-rior and followed mining for twelve orfifteen years with varied success.

With sufficient capital he came to thiscity and started in the saloon business,which he and his brother, Jesse Gobey,have followed ever since, acquiring a con-siderable fortune. In 1877 liobey estab-lished the saloon at 228 Sutter street, andhis patrons have made his name knownall over the coast. Gobey leaves a daugh-ter, who is now in Rhode Island visitinghis mother and sisters. He went East re-cently to see the family and returned onlythree days ago. Itis believed that he con-tracted the disease while crossing themountains.

DAGGETT 'S POLITICAL AXAlex. Greggains, the Buckleyite,

Is Discharged From theMint.

HE DIDN'T OBEY ORDERS.

A Story of Daggett's Municipal "Push"Politics in the Thirtieth

District.

Superintendent of the Mint Da?getthas "fired" Alex.Greggains from his $4 aday job in the Mint for displaying "per-nicious activity"in the interest of ChrisBuckley.

Gfeggains; didn't heed Daggett's ordersto his employes to get out and hustle forthe Daggett- Rainey-McNab reformers andon Saturday last the Siskiyou boss taughthim and others a lesson. When -Mr. Dag-gett gives political orders to his Govern-ment employes from the Thirtieth or anyother district when primary politics aregoing on, he proposes to be obeyed, andother Mint employes, who might dearlylike to chase around again with "Buck's"Jambs, as the grass seems to turn greenagain, willnow know the perilof it.

The discharge of a man from the UnitedStates Mint because he didn't do as hewas told with the "push" in a south-of-Market-street district wiil give Congress-man Maguire some more ammunition, andas the victim is a very valuable and verypopular district politician and a loyalfriend of Buckley, the incident will in-tensify the bitter and rapidly growinghostility to Daggett among 'the Buckley-ites and other elements of the party. 7

;;;JiAlex.Greggains is a big, good-natured

and quite good-looking fellow, who haslong been leader ,of the Fire Department"push," as it is termed, in a large south-of-Market region, especially ' in.'the!Thirtieth District. He used to.be in theFire Department and is now 'a strongleader among the boys." .He can organizea small regiment ami do valiant practicalpolitics most any time for the chief towhom he gives hi* fealty for thick or thin."When he was doing politics most regu-larly Buckley and Kainey were partners,and perhaps they equally shared his re-spect and allegiance. When Daggett tookthe Mint and gave his friend Rainey ashow at the patronage Greggains was oneof the men that Kainey put in. He be-came a workman in the coiner's depart-ment at $-1 a day a year and a half ago.

'

Perhaps Sam Kainey thought that aman that He had found a job for ought tostand by him when he was engaged inlighting Buckley for decent terms in an-other partnership; but, anyway, whenGreggains got to. his nice littleflat onShipley street, last Saturday. a little afternoon, the mail-carrier had left for him thefollowing:

The Mint of the United States )atBah Francisco, Superintendent's >

Office, November 30, 1895.)Alex. Greggains, Esq., Workman in Coiner's

Department, United States Mint, San Francisco—Dear Sir: You are respectfully informedthat your services will not be required on andafter "this date, viz.: November 30, 1895. Ke-spectfully yours,

John Daggett, Superintendent.

Greggains hasn't been around to/ theMint or to the St. George stables makingany inquiries. He has been to the Occi-dental Club mostly, and Buckley and therest up there stand by such loyal friends.Daggett must report thje,. discharge to theDirector of the Mint for his formal ap-proval, which would ordinarily be given,but in this case there may be a littla "in-terference." \u25a0

'"AllIKnow about it is that after Iquit

work at noon and got home last SaturdayIgot this notice," said Greggains lastnight at the Occidental Club. "Well, Iain't caring particularly. I'm staying bymy friends, and that's what Ialways do.

"Of course, it's because I'm up here andnothing else. Daegett never told me toget into his fight alter that time when hestood everybody up and told them to workfor Watkins against O'Brien, when thatelection came off a few weeks ago. Dag-gett didn't callme in until the afternoonbefore Watkins was elected that night.I'dbeen out hustling for Jim O'Brien clearup to that time. Iwas off that day : to goto a funeral, and Daggett sent the watch-man out to hunt me up and bring me tohis office. He said that he wanted Wat-kins elected and that .he was lightingBuckley. Itold him Buckley and Kaineywere my friends. He said Kaineyis lighting Buckley. I;said thatKainey wasn't; he said that he was. IfKainey was fighting BuckleyIdidn't knowit then. He said that if "Rainey didn'tfight Buckley he'd fight him. "Well, hesaid he wanted me to get out and do whatIcould. Itold him 1wasn't a member ofthe committee and couldn't get him anyvotes, but he said he knew what.Icouldgo on the outside. Isays, 'Well, it's toolate now for'fne to get out and get anybodyto .switch that I've asked to vote forO'Brien,' but he asked me tosee what Icould do. No, he didn't make any threats,but he said things that you would knowmeant something.

"Well, Igot out and perhaps Idid whatIcould and perhaps Icouldn't do much.Iwas around there at the meeting thatnight, but 1 saw they had itand Ikeptstill. Well, after that Daggett told methat he wasn't having anything todo withlocal politics—onlyNational politics. Well,Isupposed he meant it,and Isupposedafter Watkins was elected Icould do as Iwanted. 1 had to get out and protectmyself, and I'm a friend of Buckley's lustas Iam of Rainey's. I'm, a friend ofRainey's.and always have been. Idon'tknow how he stands on this; Ihaven'tbeen to see him yet.

"Isuppose that at that meeting a weekago Saturday night, when Watkins triedto adjourn the committee, they counted onme standing in with them. Iwas therewith some of my friends to, help see thatour friends didn't get the worst of it, andyou knowFitzgerald and Ihad some wordsup by the platform. Iguess they saw howIstood, and -then, when Iwas upon theplatform; Iwas introduced to JudgeMagnire, who

'shook hands with

me, and Isuppose somebody toldDaggett about that. One day" Daggettmet me in the corridor of, the Mint andasked me if Iwas in Maguire's district.He swore and said that he'd run Maguireout of town. I've always been friendlyto Maguire. Since Maguire and the pa-pers have been going for Daggett againlately Isuppose he got madder yet andsays to himself,

'That's one of those "f—1

A CARPENTERS' VICTORYContractor Hunsbrougli Agrees to Pay

Staudurd "Wages on the Haight-Street School.

The organized carpenters and joiners ofthis City have won a victory. Contractor(j.W. Hansbrough, who has the contractto erect the eight-classroom schoolhouseon Haight street, near Masonic avenue,has come to terms, and the carpenters whowere called off the job Saturday night re-turned to work yesterday morning. Thestrike that threatened to be lasting andannoying was quickly settled by the con-tractor acceeding to the men's demand forhigher wages.

When the carpenters went to work aweek ago they were a little uneasy, be-cause they feared that Hansbrough wouldnot pay tne standard wages of $3 a dayminimum-. On Saturday night their fearswere realized by the contractor paying but$2 50. The situation was reported toBusiness Agent Johnson, who cailed themen out and told them not to return towork until the trouble was settled.

An account of the difficulty was pub-lished in Sunday's Call and 10.000 carpen-ters and innumerable other union work-men watched for the outcome with a keeninterest. The union had only a few weeksbefore adopted a rule that $3 should be thewages for a day's work of eight hours, andthis, being City work, was about the firstlarge job to cause trouble en the score ofwages. There was great surprise thatHansbrough, who before he became a con-tractor was a union carpenter, should byhis action become a "cheap" man.

Early yesterday morning BusinessAgent Johnson, representing the DistrictCouncil of Carpenters and Joiners, was onthe ground, accompanied by the men hehad called out, the men going back fortheir tools.

Hansbrough was there ahead of them.The conversation between the contractorand the business aeent was brief and tothe point, the former readily agreeing topay the standard wages demanded. Fiveminutes later the whole force was at workagain, making the chips fly and the ham-mers ring. Allthe carpenters are delightedthat the threatened trouble should havebeen averted so easily and speedily.

HOUSE-RENTING RATES.Real Estate Agents Meet to

Agree Upon a UniformCommission.

The Profits of the "To Let" BusinessDepend Upon the Landlord's

Liberality.

An informal meeting of prominent realestate men took place last night in theoflice of Baldwin &Hammond at 10 Mont-gomery street for the purpose of agreeingupon a uniform commission for house-renting. Heretofore agents have workedto a disadvantage in that they have beensubject to the peculiar location of theproperty to be leased and to the liberalityor anxiety of the landlord.In the matter of a proposed sale the

owner, when he places the property in thehands of the real estate man, is dulybound to abide by his agreement, and notransaction can take place outside of theactual sale, but in renting a landlord may

rent his house and the agent may find his"To Let" bill on the building torn downby the new tenant or the landlord withoutany officialor business notification.

The rates of commission have swung allaround 10 per cent

—sometimes higher,"butmore often lower—and the real estateagents have come to the conclusion thatthis matter wiil bear regulation. Themeeting was attended by representatives ofthe linns of Bovee, Toy A Co., O'Farrell &Co., Shainwald & Buckbee, O. F.'vonllhein, A. J. Rich &Co. and Baldwin &Hammond. i

G. D. Toy was chosen chairman fand S.Buckbee secretary. Anumber of sugges-tions were made as to a uniform rate, butnjthing definite was agreed upon. Itwasthe sense of the meeting that the agent isgetting somewhat the worst of the house-renting business, and if the matter wasnot regulated to a uniform rate the house-owner willbe permitted to dispose of hisown building and dicker with his tenantsinaccordance with their desire to get un-der a roof, and also inaccordance withtheir means and tastes.

A member of Umbsen & Co. expressedhis doubts as to anything like successcomine from the conference of real estatemen. Therateqf commission, he thought,would be practically governed by peculiarconditions, the prominent and general onebeing the landlord's anxiety to find arenter and the activity he displayed inget-ting that tenant himself and getting outof the 10 per cent commission.

The meeting adjourned without any-thing being definitely settled except thathouse-renting to the agent was not amethod of acquiring wealth.

Another meeting will be held at Bald-win A Hammond's office on theevening ofDecember 21.

ONE OF THE CLEVERESTCaptain Lees Expresses His

Opinion of BayardSaville.

HE IS CHARGED WITH FORGERY.

Passed Checks Purporting to Be Signedby Mrs. Bell, Widow of the

Late Capitalist.

Bayard Saville was brought from' Oak-land last evening by Sergeant Duncan andbooked at the City Prison on the chargeof forgery.

On November 4 Saville went to 11. P.Wakelee's drug-store, on Polk and Sutterstreets, and asked H. L. Pockman, themanager, to cash a check for $75. Thecheck was drawn on the Bank of Califor-nia, and pumorted to be signed by TeresaBell, widow of the late Thomas Bell, thecapitalist.

Pockman knew Saville as an employe ofMrs. Bell, and as he did not have themoney himself he crossed over to the officeof the Sutter-street Railroad Company andgot the check cashed by Secretary Stevens.Stevens had occasion to go downtown, andhe presented the check at the bank forpayment. To his surprise he was told itwas worthless.

Saville had meantime returned to Wake-lee's drugstore and asked Pockman tooblige him by cashing another check for$600. While they were talking Stevensentered the store and informed Saville thatthe bank refused to cash the check. Sa-ville expressed his regret and said -Mrs.Beli must have made a mistake by gettinghoid of the wrong checkbook. He wouldgo at once and see about itand would leavehis valise just to show that he would re-turn. He did not return, and when thevalise was opened itwas found to containtwoor three shirts and some pairs of socks.

A few days later Saville presented acheck for $b'sO on the Bank of Californiasigned by Mrs. Bell to William McCrackenof the Lick House Laundry. McCrackenadvanced him $30 and $20 at differenttimes on the check and then he found itwas worthless. He reported the matter tothe police and Detective Ross Whittakerwas detailed on the case. Whittaker as-certained that Saville had gone across thebay, and he sent his description to the po-lice in Oakland and Alameda.

Detective Denny Holland arrested himon Broadway, Oakland, yesterday morn-ing. Holland had learned that a mananswering Saville's description had beengetting money from the Young Men'sChristian Association, Roman Catholicpriests and prominent citizens on the pleathat he was a penitent ex-convict, so hedetermined to look out for him. "When hemet him on Broadway he placed himunder arrest. Saville made a grab for arevolver that was in his hip pocket, butHolland was too quick for him.

"Let me have it," pleaded Saville. "Idon't want to injure you, but Iwant toend my miserable existence."

Holland kept hold of the weapon, how-ever, and took his prisoner to the CityPrison. He then telephoned to policeheadquarters here and Sergeant Duncanwas sent to bringhim over.

Wakelee, the druggist, ha3no intentionof prosecuting him, but McCracken sworeto a complaint charging him with forgery.

Saville came here seven or eight yearsago witha wife, who was a victim of con-sumption, and shortly after taking uptheir residence here she died. He did notcome under the notice of the police tillthefallof 1891. On August '61 he presentedforged letters of introduction to the lateSenator James G. Fair, and on the strengthofthem he «ot $300. He was arrested forobtaining money by false pretenses, andoh October 12 he was sentenced to threeyears in San Quentin.

He was discharged on January 13, 1894,and soon afterward secured employmenton Mrs. Bell's ranch, in Napa County,where he remained tillabout two monthsago. Itwas through his employment ontfiis ranch that Pockman and McCrackengot acquainted withhim.

He is a well-educated, fine-looking man,of good address, and is said to belong to awealthy family in Maryland. CaptainLees says he is one of the cleverest confi-dence-men that has ever visited the coast,and could get money out ot the most stony-hearted of men by his nerve and plausibleways.

biiville,when seen in the City Prison, re-fused to say anything. He had not yetconsulted an attorney, nor had he seen anyof his friends.
