RAN PULPIT AND BAR IN TENDERLOIN Charles Montgomery as Proprietor of the Silver State. Ned Foster and J. T.Wise- man "Were His Busi- ness Partners. Neither Transient Rooms Nor Whisky Sales Proved Profitable. THE HELP WAS NOT PAID. Aged Salvation Evangelist Withdrew When Business Became Dull. The Silver State Hotel on Mason street, a well-known and popular re- sort to those who frequent the tender- loin, has just furnished a strange illus- tration of the fact that business am- bitions and methods often make bed- fellows of men of the most dissimilar tastes. Itis not perhaps generally known to the public that there have recently been quarrels amnnsr the managers of the place and that S. Silverberg, the owner, has had a hard battle to get possession of his property. J. T. Wiseman, well known in. the sporting circles of the city; Ned Foster, with a long record as proprietor of the Bella Union and a "good fellow" on the turf, and Charles Montgomery, the well-known Salvation evangelist, ran the Silver State until lately, Montgom- ery's name appearing in the city di- rectory as manager. Various people who did business with the house when Charles Montgomery was president and Wiseman was secretary of the incor- poration, say they had great trouble in collecting their bills. While the bar and rooms were paying best Mr. Montgom- ery preached nightly in the basement. Though Mr. Montgomery, last night denied that he had been in any manner connected with the place since last July, Ned Foster, Contractor Becker, who built the house; J. Leland, the bellboy, and others, who were at the house dally, said that Montgomery and Wiseman called at the desk every day until two months ago to get their share of the earnings of the whole house, and this included, at stated times, rent from the bar as well as the daily re- ceipts from the rooms frequented by a class 61 transients well known to the police. Most of the paying business of the house was from transient trade, accord- ing to those most familiar with the pat- ronage that kept it up. While Mr. Montgomery preached down stairs in the basement there was always a merry Jingle of coin over the bar above, and the hotel clerk took in a pretty good income from the trade inrooms. It was the custom of Messrs. Wiseman and Montgomery to divide the money at 1 o'clock each day. The business did not thrive very well, in spite of the fact that the lessees of the barroom and restaurant said that many of their bills were collected by the corporation and never turned over to them, so Ned Foster, having a wide acquaintance with the class of people likely to cater to the goods sold at the hotel, was induced to buy some stock. At a meeting attended by Messrs. Wiseman and Montgomery, as well as by some of the stockholders Ned was elected president of the company, but he found so many debts that it was hard to make a ship sail smoothly. He tried to settle matters "on the square," but found it a bad entangle- ment all through. Meantime Landlord Silverberg found that the concern owed him $1200 in rent. When he appealed to the new president to settle it the old Bella Union manager winked and said, "Iam surprised that these people have sold me stock when they owe debts. Of course I know nothing of this." The matter was compromised by Landlord Silverberg, who is eager for a new management. He gave a re- ceipt in full for the rent and paid Presi- dent Montgomery and Secretary Wise- man $350 to vacate the premises. Ned Foster still holds the foTt, as does J. B. Leland, proprietor of the bar. Mrs. Gale, formerly of 17 Stockton street, is now conducting the hotel along the same lines as those pursued by Mr. Montgomery and his associates, though she says she will pay her help. Ned Foster still claims to be presi- dent of the company, though he has Bold a great deal of his stock to his wife and others. Landlord Silverberg feels better that he has the house run- ning under the new management. When Charles Montgomery was seen regarding the matter last night he said: "The fact is I quit the hore! when they opened up the oar, and I have had nothing to do with it since last July. I could not stand the sa- loon business, and I think a pretty hard crowd has succeeded me, as I hear they are running a saloon." A.

M: Gleaves has as- sumed the duties of his new office as Sur- veyor-General only four changes have taken place in the personnel of his em- ployes, all of whom are under civil ser- vice. The new official's son, J. M. Gleaves, Jr., has taken up the work nf F. P. Har- den as chief clerk. Yesterday Mrs. K. Ewing, daughter of Mr. Harden, handed In her resignation as clerk in the Swamp and Over-flowed Land department, and Miss Belle Smith, a copyist, was pro- moted to fill the vacancy. Her place in turn was filled by the appointement of Miss Lilian McDonald. The business of the office has not be«=n disturbed by the recent change of the heads of the depart- ment. Criminal Appeal Cases. The Supreme Court has cited County Clerk Curry to appear before it next Mon- day and show cause why he has failed to carry out the law relating to printing of the records of criminal cases now on ap- peal to the Supreme Court. There should be fifteen copies of the appeal, record, and bill of exceptions, the costs of which are to be paid by the county in which the cases occur. The County Clerk has re- cently found that there is a shortage in the sum appropriated for this purpose by the Supervisors. These proceedings have been begun as a test case by Attorney Cook, whose client, John Black, is now in the county jail becauso his case can- not be heard for the reason given. Adulterated Food Cases. Superior Judges Wallace, Dunne and Cook sat in bank yesterday to hear the appeals in the cases of Louis Getz, Fred- erick Welker, Louis Feusier, Waner Dut- ton and Louis Hartter. who were con- victed in the Police Court on charges of having violated the pure food law Wel- ker was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 Dutton a fine of $75, and Getz a fine or $60, with alternatives of imprisonment. I ne Judgment in their cases was reversed owing to errors of law committed dur- ing the trial of the defendant The hear- ing of the cases against Feusier and Hart- ter was postponed for one month. Another Will Contest Started. Anna B. Phelps filed a contest yester- day to the probating of the will of her aunt, Mary P. Merchant, who died Janu- ary 22 last, in Alameda County, leaving quite a valuable estate. The claim is made that the testatrix was of unsound mind and unduly influenced by Tremont Wood and his wife, -who are the prin cipal beneficiaries under the will present- ed for probate. Religion in Business. The Lenten services in the Chamber of Commerce will close to-day, having been conducted there for the past week The last sermon will be delivered by Bishop Nichols on "Responsibilities and Priv- ileges." PREPARING FOR A BIG BATTLE. Last evening the Olympic Club matched Pete Everett, alias Mexican Pete, to fight Jim Jeffries on April 26 a twenty-round contest in the gym- nasium of the club. When the match was first spoken of the members poohpoohed the idea of, pitting a man like Mexican Pete against the coming champion heavy- weight, but when Pete's backers came forward with a small sack of gold Matchmaker Kennedy commenced to make inquiries about the stranger. He discovered that Pete has had thirty-eight battles, all of which he won easily. His last fight was in Cripple Creek, where he disposed of Billy Woods of Denver last February in six rounds. Woods was knocked down eight times during the contest. Joe Choynski fought Billy Woods in this city in 1891, and was declared winner after a battle that lasted thirty-four rounds. Then Choynski was a top-notch fighter. Jim Williams of Salt Lake stood eight rounds before Sharkey and Pete put Williams to sleep in six rounds. The champion heavy-weight of Colorado is a very deceptive fellow. He looks to weigh about 165 pounds, but when he stepped on the scales yester- day he turned the beam at 210 pounds. Pete stands 6 feet % inch and weighs in condition 195 pounds. He is 23 years of age and is managed by Jim Carr, whose training quarters are on the corner of Sutter street and Central avenue. According to an agreement signed by the men last evening hitting in the breakaway is allowed. The pugilists will receive 60 per cent of the gross receipts; the winner takes 60 per cent and the loser 40 per cent. It is said that the club will charge members $1 50 and their friends who are not members will be taxed $3. The event of the evening will be pre- ceded by a fifteen-round contest between McConnell and Kid Parker that is, provided the lightweights will consent to fight for a reasonable considera- tion. "Mexican Pete," Who Is Matched to Fight Jim Jeffries. NEW CEMETERY FOR BERKELEY Peralta Park to Be Trans- formed Into a Bury- ing Ground. Seventy - Two Acres, Com- manding a Beautiful View of the Bay, Secured. The Work of Preparing the Grounds and Buildingn Crematory to Beyin at Once. Berkeley and its environs are to have one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the State. Several months ago articles of incorporation of the new company were filed in Oakland, and since then the work of securing a suitable site has been in progress. The company is composed of well-known capitalists, who guaran- teed ail the funds necessary for the pur- chase of land. After mature deliberation Peralta Park and adjoining properties were decided up- on as the most suitable location, and the company has already purchased thewhole of Peralta Park, consisting of twenty-six acres, and an adjoining tract of forty- six acres, formerly owned by the Bella View Homestead Association, making seventy-two acres secured already. There is still another tract of twenty-two acres, held by the Sacramento Bank, which the company is negotiating for with every prospect of success. When that is se- cured it will give a total of ninety-four acres in one of the most beautiful local- ities in California. laying on the western slope of the Con- tra Costa hills it is directly opposite the Golden Gate, and commands a panoramic view of the bay, islands and San Francis- co and the Marin shores. A gentle slope toward the bay gives it ample drainage, and it is the intention of the company to proceed at once with the laying out of the grounds. For that purpose the landscape gardener who had charge of Cypress Lawn Ceme- tery has been engaged, and will be given carte blanche to arrange the drives, walks, plats and floral banks as he Bees fit. The company has money enough on hand to build a handsome gate at the en- trance to the grounds and to complete the walks and drives, and bonds will be issued shortly for the purpose of erecting a crematory second to none In the United States. Several societies, including tho Masons and Knights of Honor, besides a large number of private individuals, have al- ready subscribed for plats in the new cemetery, and It is the aim of the com- pany to dispose of lots and plats at a price that will not be a tax upon the average citizen. At preaent all the cem- eteries in the vicinity of the bay charge the most exorbitant rates for plats, the prevailing prices per square foot being almost equal to those for the choicest lo- cations on Market street in the neighbor- hood of the Claus Spreckels building. Besides, the new company will make sweeping cuts in the rates for incinera- tion. The fixed price at all the crema- tories now is $50, while at the East such service is performed for $10 to $15. The Peralta Park Association, as soon as its crematory is constructed, will fix the price somewhere near the Eastern rates. The need of another cemetery has long been manifest on the east side of the bay. At present the only repository of the dead anywhere near Oakland is Mountain "View Cemetery, which must also answer for a large part of Contra Costa County, as well as Berkeley. Alameda and Oakland. Mountain View is entirely inadequate to meet the demands, even though the rates for plats and single lots have been ad- vanced to the highest figures. The Berke- ley cemetery will be more convenient for corteges from Contra Costa, as well as a thickly settled portion of Alameda Coun- ty. It is expected that the grounds will be laid out and ready for the reception of bodies within a few months. First Picnic of the Season. The Amerlcus Club has made the an- nouncement that Harbor View will be opened by the first picnic Ui the season at that place to-morrow. The simple an- nouncement that the "Americuß Club" Is giving a picnic is In itself all sufficient to bring the white lawn dresses of the pretty- San Francisco girla from the wajdrobeau And, it is also needless to add, that the boys will be there in their spring suits, as the Americus Club heretofore has had the credit of giving an up-to-date picnic. This year will hardly be any exception to this established rule. There will be prizes for the best dajicers, one being a gold watch and chain. DEATH OF MRS. CLUNIE. Wife of the Insurance Commissioner Succumbs to an Attack of Heart Disease. General sorrow is expressed for the sudden death of Mrs. Andrew J. Clunie, the wife of the Insurance Commissioner, who succumbed to a chronic affection of the heart early yesterday morning. Mrs. Clunie had been ailing for some time, but it was not until a few days before her death that she became critically ill. Everything possible was done by Drs. Spencer, Gardner and Maclttonagle to save the unfortunate woman's life, but with- out avail, and after a brief struggle she quietly passed away at her home on De Long avenue. She was 30 years of age, and before her marriage was well known as Miss May M. Redfield, a daughter of a naval offi- cer and a distant relative of ex-Secretary of State Bayard. She leaves no children. THE GARCELON ESTATE. Bill of Review Filed by Rodgers & Paterson Asking for a Reversal of the Decree. The law firm of Rodgers & Paterson yesterday filed a bill of review in equity in the United States Circuit Court in the case of George W. Reed, as administra- tor of the estate of Catherine M. Gar- celon and James P. Merritt. against John A. Stanly, the trustees of Bowdoin Col- lege and others. The bill recites that Stanly, who is one of the plaintiffs in the original bill, is hostile to the relief suit, "being only falsely and fraudulently named as a de- fendant." The bill asked that the decree already made in the case be dismissed. NO MUSICIANS NEEDED HERE The Local Union Warns Them to Keep Away From San Francisco. Ssilors Are Successful In Obtaining an Inorsase in Their Wages. Residents of San Francisco pride them- selves on the fact that this is a great music-loving community, but the 800 odd musicians who hold membership cards in the local Musicians' Uniori incline to somewhat different views, as they are at present advertising broadcast throughout the country that this city is overstocked with musicians, those here cannot find enough to do to keep the gaunt wolf of starvation a safe distance away from their doors, and warn all who seek to earn their livingby fillingthe air with melody, or something which will go by that name, to give the metropolis of the Pacific Coast a wide berth. At the meeting of the Labor Council last night the representatives of the Mu- sicians' Union reported this state of af- fairs, and supplemented with a sugges- tion that in view of this fact union men should redouble vigilance to watch out for "scab" music wherever they go. As an instance two picnics which are about to be run by local organizations for which non-union music has been engaged were particularly pointed out, and union men throughout the city will be warned to keep away from them. The trouble at the Olympia music hall has been bridged over for the present and an amicable set- tlement is expected. The sailors report that they are meet- ing with encouraging successes in en- forcing a higher schedule of wages, and It is expected that the old scale of '91 will soon be fully in force again. Sailors all along the coast are being urged to ship by the voyage rather than the month, and whenever these arrangements can he made It means good wages for the trip, with nothing to do but steer and trim sails. The Capron Will Contest. Judge Ooffey yesterday made an order removing ex-Judge A. L. Fitzgerald as special administrator of the will of the late John S. Capron, the capitalist. Capron left the bulk of his valuable estate to Fitzgerald, and his step-daughters en- tered a contest and broke the will. It is the intention of Fitzgerald to carry the case on appeal to the Supreme Court A CONFLICT CANNOT BE AVERTED Men of the Army Now Consider That War Is Inevitable. Governor Budd Remarks That "California Will Be in Line." Extra Activity Is Observab the Lime Point Forti- fications. READY TO LEAD TROOPS. General Shafter Will Personally In- spect the Defensive Works at Ballast Point, San Diego. Officers and enlisted men of the United States army, who have contend- ed all along that war might be averted by diplomacy, now consider that the chances of peace are remote and that an armed collision is inevitable. Men of the army, as a rule, talk little of war, but the subject nevertheless is one that causes them to profoundly reflect. If a conflict comes history will repeat itself. Those who talk loudest and breathe fire and blood In public will be at home or some other safe retreat when the supreme test of battle comes. When peace is restored they will be in front again, claiming honors, emolu- ments and offices in reward for loyalty displayed when the nation was in peril. In all this war talk Governor Budd remains calm and contemplative. He does not care to be quoted as express- ing any opinion as to what he shall do when the crisis comes. He says dis- tinctly, however, that California will be in line with her sister States ready to perform any duty required for the maintenance of national honor and dig- nity. The Governor has observed the proceedings of the New York, Ohio and lowa Legislatures in appropriating means to be employed in the event of war, but the observation has not caused him to consider the subject of calling an extra session of the California Leg- islature. He remarked yesterday: "No State in tv><* Union is in better condi- tion than California." The Governor is well informed con- cerning the strength and efficiency of the National Guard of this State. He knows also the weak places in the or- ganization of the State troops and has taken into account the probable ser- vice which the troops would be called upon to perform in the case of a war between the United States and Spain. He is also well posted regarding the ability and experience of individual of- ficers and has in his possession the names of men who have signified a readiness to lend a helping hand in the organization and discipline of troops. Eugene P. Murphy, who graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1867 and subsequently resigned from the army to engage in business, has tendered his services to the Secretary of War. He believes that a regiment of resolute young Irish-ittnericais could be recruited readily at the Mis- sion. Colonel John S. Mosby has recently received many letters from men who rode and fought with him in Virginia. They are anxious that he should lead a mounted expedition in a cai.ipa.ign In Cuba and express a desire 111 1 follow where he leads. Colonel Mosby has offered his services to the Government. Several army officers stationed at the Presidio have filed with the depart- ment commander, General Shafter, ap- plication for 'transfers to enable them to serve at the front. It is the com- mon belief among army men that San Francisco in the event of war between the United States and Spain would be remote from the scenes of actual bat- tle. The command of a volunteer regi- ment is a prize which many a young officer contemplates and hopes to gain. General Shafter kindly listens to all the applicants and takes the applications into consideration. There is every indication that Gen- eral Wilson, chief of the Engineer Corps of the United States army, .has received quite a liberal allowance for carrying out the plans adopted by the board of fortifications for the defense of the har- bor of San Francisco. While the strict- est secrecy is enjoined upon the engi- neer officers of this division the fact transpires that two hundred mechanics and laborers have been engaged to work at Lime Point. The artillerymen now occupying the barracks belonging to the engineers have been asked to find other quarters so that the force of workmen under the direction of the Engineer Corps may be housed. Tents may be sent over to Fort Baker for the soldiers of that gar- rison. The extensive character of the work In contemplation at Lime Point leads to the belief that an allowance has been made from the recent appropria- tion of $50,000,000 for the construction of a new line of works at that local- ity. Obviously the Government intends to prepare to meet an side complica- tion growing out of a collision with Spain. When war begins no one can tell where it will end and how many parties may be brought into the strug- gle. Should European or South Amer- ican sympathy be strong enough to give Spain allies San Francisco might become an object of attack. General Shafter, the department commander, has decided to personally inspect the harbor defenses of San Di- ego. Accompanied by Lieutenant John D. Miley. Fifth Artillery, aid and en- gineer officer, he will leave the city to- morrow for Ballast Point. Additional guns may be mounted at the San Di- ego fortifications and more troops sent to that point. One battery of the Third Artillery constitutes the present garrison. Special orders directing the inspection of the Ballast Point works and San Diego barracks were issued from department headquarters yester- day. A New Stamp Clerk. Internal Revenue Collector Lynch yes- terday appointed W. H. Harrison as stamp clerk in the i-.os Angeles office in place of Freeman G. Teed, resigned. The reason, for Mr. Toed's resignation is said to be railing eyesight. The Modern Generation of Men. Physically men are better to-day than ever before. Our college youth are, as a general thing, magnificent specimens. The constitu- tionally weak and nervous, though they may never become athletes, can greatly increase their strength and restore tranquillity to the nervous system by the efficient aid of Hoetet- ter's Stomach Bitters, which also removes ma- larial, kidney, dyspeptio and bilious trouble* 12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1898. °."V ADVERTISEMENTS.

RAN PULPITAND BAR IN

TENDERLOINCharles Montgomery

as Proprietor of theSilver State.

Ned Foster and J. T.Wise-man "Were His Busi-

ness Partners.

Neither Transient Rooms Nor

Whisky Sales ProvedProfitable.

THE HELP WAS NOT PAID.

Aged Salvation Evangelist WithdrewWhen Business Became

Dull.

The Silver State Hotel on Masonstreet, a well-known and popular re-sort to those who frequent the tender-loin, has just furnished a strange illus-tration of the fact that business am-bitions and methods often make bed-fellows of men of the most dissimilartastes.Itis not perhaps generally known to

the public that there have recently

been quarrels amnnsr the managers ofthe place and that S. Silverberg, the

owner, has had a hard battle to getpossession of his property.

J. T. Wiseman, well known in. thesporting circles of the city;Ned Foster,with a long record as proprietor of theBella Union and a "good fellow" onthe turf, and Charles Montgomery, thewell-known Salvation evangelist, ranthe Silver State until lately, Montgom-ery's name appearing in the city di-rectory as manager. Various peoplewho did business with the house whenCharles Montgomery was president andWiseman was secretary of the incor-poration, say they had great trouble incollecting their bills. While the bar androoms were paying best Mr. Montgom-ery preached nightly in the basement.

Though Mr. Montgomery, last nightdenied that he had been in any mannerconnected with the place since lastJuly, Ned Foster, Contractor Becker,who built the house; J. Leland, the

bellboy, and others, who were at thehouse dally,said that Montgomery andWiseman called at the desk every dayuntil two months ago to get their shareof the earnings of the whole house, andthis included, at stated times, rentfrom the bar as well as the daily re-ceipts from the rooms frequented by aclass 61 transients well known to thepolice.

Most of the paying business of thehouse was from transient trade, accord-ing to those most familiar with the pat-ronage that kept it up. While Mr.Montgomery preached down stairs inthe basement there was always a merryJingle of coin over the bar above, andthe hotel clerk took in a pretty goodincome from the trade inrooms. Itwasthe custom of Messrs. Wiseman andMontgomery to divide the money at 1o'clock each day.

The business did not thrive very well,in spite of the fact that the lessees ofthe barroom and restaurant said that

many of their bills were collected by

the corporation and never turned overto them, so Ned Foster, having a wideacquaintance with the class of peoplelikely to cater to the goods sold at thehotel, was induced to buy some stock.At a meeting attended by Messrs.Wiseman and Montgomery, as well asby some of the stockholders Ned waselected president of the company, buthe found so many debts that it washard to make a ship sail smoothly.He tried to settle matters "on thesquare," but found it a bad entangle-ment all through.

Meantime Landlord Silverberg foundthat the concern owed him $1200 inrent. When he appealed to the newpresident to settle it the old BellaUnion manager winked and said, "Iamsurprised that these people have soldme stock when they owe debts. Ofcourse Iknow nothing of this."

The matter was compromised byLandlord Silverberg, who is eagerfor a new management. He gave a re-ceipt infull for the rent and paid Presi-dent Montgomery and Secretary Wise-man $350 to vacate the premises. NedFoster still holds the foTt, as does J.B. Leland, proprietor of the bar.

Mrs. Gale, formerly of 17 Stocktonstreet, is now conducting the hotelalong the same lines as those pursuedby Mr. Montgomery and his associates,though she says she willpay her help.

Ned Foster still claims to be presi-dent of the company, though he hasBold a great deal of his stock to hiswife and others. Landlord Silverbergfeels better that he has the house run-ning under the new management.

When Charles Montgomery was seenregarding the matter last night hesaid: "The fact is Iquit the hore!when they opened up the oar, and Ihave had nothing to do with it sincelast July. Icould not stand the sa-loon business, and Ithink a prettyhard crowd has succeeded me, as Ihear they are running a saloon."

PREPARING FOR A BIG BATTLE.

Last evening the Olympic Club matched Pete Everett, alias MexicanPete, to fight Jim Jeffries on April26 a twenty-round contest in the gym-nasium of the club.

When the match was first spoken of the members poohpoohed the ideaof, pitting a man like Mexican Pete against the coming champion heavy-weight, but when Pete's backers came forward with a small sack of goldMatchmaker Kennedy commenced to make inquiries about the stranger. Hediscovered that Pete has had thirty-eight battles, all of which he woneasily.

His last fight was in Cripple Creek, where he disposed of Billy Woods ofDenver last February in six rounds. Woods was knocked down eighttimes during the contest. Joe Choynski fought Billy Woods in this city

in 1891, and was declared winner after a battle that lasted thirty-fourrounds. Then Choynski was a top-notch fighter.

Jim Williams of Salt Lake stood eight rounds before Sharkey and Peteput Williams to sleep in six rounds.

The champion heavy-weight of Colorado is a very deceptive fellow. Helooks to weigh about 165 pounds, but when he stepped on the scales yester-day he turned the beam at 210 pounds. Pete stands 6 feet % inch andweighs in condition 195 pounds. He is 23 years of age and is managed byJim Carr, whose training quarters are on the corner of Sutter street andCentral avenue.

According to an agreement signed by the men last evening hitting inthe breakaway is allowed. The pugilists will receive 60 per cent of thegross receipts; the winner takes 60 per cent and the loser 40 per cent.

Itis said that the club will charge members $1 50 and their friends whoare not members willbe taxed $3. The event of the evening will be pre-ceded by a fifteen-round contest between McConnell and KidParker

—that is,

provided the lightweights willconsent to fight for a reasonable considera-tion.

NEW CEMETERYFOR BERKELEY

Peralta Park to Be Trans-formed Into a Bury-

ing Ground.

Seventy-

Two Acres, Com-

manding a Beautiful View

of the Bay, Secured.

The Work of Preparing the Grounds

and Buildingn Crematory to

Beyin at Once.

Berkeley and its environs are to haveone of the most beautiful cemeteries inthe State. Several months ago articlesof incorporation of the new companywere filed in Oakland, and since then thework of securing a suitable site has beenin progress. The company is composedof well-known capitalists, who guaran-teed ail the funds necessary for the pur-chase of land.

After mature deliberation Peralta Parkand adjoining properties were decided up-on as the most suitable location, and thecompany has already purchased thewholeof Peralta Park, consisting of twenty-sixacres, and an adjoining tract of forty-six acres, formerly owned by the BellaView Homestead Association, makingseventy-two acres secured already. Thereis still another tract of twenty-two acres,held by the Sacramento Bank, which thecompany is negotiating for with everyprospect of success. When that is se-cured it will give a total of ninety-fouracres in one of the most beautiful local-ities inCalifornia.

laying on the western slope of the Con-tra Costa hills it is directly opposite theGolden Gate, and commands a panoramicview of the bay, islands and San Francis-co and the Marin shores. A gentle slopetoward the bay gives it ample drainage,and it is the intention of the company toproceed at once with the layingout of thegrounds.

For that purpose the landscape gardenerwho had charge of Cypress Lawn Ceme-tery has been engaged, and willbe givencarte blanche to arrange the drives,walks, plats and floral banks as he Beesfit.

The company has money enough onhand to build a handsome gate at the en-trance to the grounds and to completethe walks and drives, and bonds will beissued shortly for the purpose of erectinga crematory second to none In the UnitedStates.

Several societies, including tho Masonsand Knights of Honor, besides a largenumber of private individuals, have al-ready subscribed for plats in the newcemetery, and It is the aim of the com-pany to dispose of lots and plats at aprice that will not be a tax upon theaverage citizen. At preaent all the cem-eteries in the vicinity of the bay chargethe most exorbitant rates for plats, theprevailing prices per square foot beingalmost equal to those for the choicest lo-cations on Market street in the neighbor-hood of the Claus Spreckels building.Besides, the new company will makesweeping cuts in the rates for incinera-tion. The fixed price at all the crema-tories now is $50, while at the East suchservice is performed for $10 to $15. ThePeralta Park Association, as soon as itscrematory is constructed, will fix theprice somewhere near the Eastern rates.

The need of another cemetery has longbeen manifest on the east side of the bay.At present the only repository of the deadanywhere near Oakland is Mountain "ViewCemetery, which must also answer for alarge part of Contra Costa County, aswell as Berkeley. Alameda and Oakland.Mountain View is entirely inadequate tomeet the demands, even though the ratesfor plats and single lots have been ad-vanced to the highest figures. The Berke-ley cemetery will be more convenient forcorteges from Contra Costa, as well as athickly settled portion of Alameda Coun-ty. It is expected that the grounds willbe laid out and ready for the reception ofbodies within a few months.

First Picnic of the Season.The Amerlcus Club has made the an-

nouncement that Harbor View will beopened by the first picnic Ui the seasonat that place to-morrow. The simple an-nouncement that the "Americuß Club" Isgiving a picnic is Initself all sufficient tobring the white lawn dresses of the pretty-San Francisco girla from the wajdrobeau

And, it is also needless to add, that theboys will be there in their spring suits,as the Americus Club heretofore has hadthe credit of giving an up-to-date picnic.This year will hardly be any exceptionto this established rule. There will beprizes for the best dajicers, one being agold watch and chain.

DEATH OF MRS. CLUNIE.

Wife of the Insurance CommissionerSuccumbs to an Attack of

Heart Disease.General sorrow is expressed for the

sudden death of Mrs. Andrew J. Clunie,the wife of the Insurance Commissioner,who succumbed to a chronic affection ofthe heart early yesterday morning. Mrs.Clunie had been ailing for some time, butit was not until a few days before herdeath that she became critically ill.

Everything possible was done by Drs.Spencer, Gardner and Maclttonagle to savethe unfortunate woman's life, but with-out avail, and after a brief struggle shequietly passed away at her home on DeLong avenue.

She was 30 years of age, and before hermarriage was well known as Miss MayM. Redfield, a daughter of a naval offi-cer and a distant relative of ex-Secretaryof State Bayard. She leaves no children.

THE GARCELON ESTATE.

Bill of Review Filed by Rodgers &Paterson Asking for a Reversal

of the Decree.The law firm of Rodgers & Paterson

yesterday filed a bill of review in equityin the United States Circuit Court in thecase of George W. Reed, as administra-tor of the estate of Catherine M. Gar-celon and James P. Merritt. against JohnA. Stanly, the trustees of Bowdoin Col-lege and others.

The billrecites that Stanly, who is oneof the plaintiffs in the original bill, ishostile to the relief suit, "being onlyfalsely and fraudulently named as a de-fendant." The bill asked that the decreealready made in the case be dismissed.

NO MUSICIANSNEEDED HERE

The Local Union Warns Themto Keep Away From San

Francisco.

Ssilors Are Successful In Obtainingan Inorsase in Their

Wages.

Residents of San Francisco pride them-selves on the fact that this is a greatmusic-loving community, but the 800 oddmusicians who hold membership cards inthe local Musicians' Uniori incline tosomewhat different views, as they are atpresent advertising broadcast throughoutthe country that this city is overstockedwith musicians, those here cannot findenough to do to keep the gaunt wolfof starvation a safe distance awayfrom their doors, and warn all who seekto earn their livingby fillingthe air withmelody, or something which will go bythat name, to give the metropolis of thePacific Coast a wide berth.

At the meeting of the Labor Councillast night the representatives of the Mu-sicians' Union reported this state of af-fairs, and supplemented with a sugges-tion that in view of this fact union menshould redouble vigilance to watch outfor "scab" music wherever they go. Asan instance two picnics which are aboutto be run by local organizations for whichnon-union music has been engaged wereparticularly pointed out, and union menthroughout the city will be warned tokeep away from them. The trouble atthe Olympia music hall has been bridgedover for the present and an amicable set-tlement is expected.

The sailors report that they are meet-ing with encouraging successes in en-forcing a higher schedule of wages, and Itis expected that the old scale of '91 willsoon be fully in force again. Sailors allalong the coast are being urged to shipby the voyage rather than the month, andwhenever these arrangements can hemade It means good wages for the trip,with nothing to do but steer and trimsails.

The Capron Will Contest.Judge Ooffey yesterday made an order

removing ex-Judge A. L. Fitzgerald asspecial administrator of the will of thelate John S. Capron, the capitalist.Capron left the bulk of his valuable estateto Fitzgerald, and his step-daughters en-tered a contest and broke the will. It isthe intention of Fitzgerald to carry thecase on appeal to the Supreme Court

ACONFLICTCANNOT BE

AVERTEDMen ofthe Army Now

Consider That WarIs Inevitable.

Governor Budd RemarksThat "California Will

Be in Line."

Extra ActivityIs Observabthe Lime Point Forti-

fications.

READY TO LEAD TROOPS.

General Shafter Will Personally In-spect the Defensive Works at

Ballast Point, San Diego.

Officers and enlisted men of theUnited States army, who have contend-ed all along that war might be avertedby diplomacy, now consider that thechances of peace are remote and thatan armed collision is inevitable. Menof the army, as a rule, talk little ofwar, but the subject nevertheless is onethat causes them to profoundly reflect.Ifa conflict comes history will repeatitself. Those who talk loudest andbreathe fire and blood In public will beat home or some other safe retreatwhen the supreme test of battle comes.When peace is restored they will be infront again, claiming honors, emolu-ments and offices in reward for loyaltydisplayed when the nation was in peril.

In all this war talk Governor Buddremains calm and contemplative. Hedoes not care to be quoted as express-ing any opinion as to what he shall dowhen the crisis comes. He says dis-tinctly, however, that California willbe in line with her sister States readyto perform any duty required for the

maintenance of national honor and dig-nity. The Governor has observed theproceedings of the New York, Ohio andlowa Legislatures in appropriating

means to be employed in the event ofwar, but the observation has not causedhim to consider the subject of callingan extra session of the California Leg-islature. He remarked yesterday: "NoState in tv><* Union is in better condi-tion than California."

The Governor is well informed con-cerning the strength and efficiency ofthe National Guard of this State. Heknows also the weak places in the or-ganization of the State troops and hastaken into account the probable ser-vice which the troops would be calledupon to perform in the case of a warbetween the United States and Spain.He is also well posted regarding theability and experience of individual of-ficers and has in his possession thenames of men who have signified areadiness to lend a helping hand in theorganization and discipline of troops.

Eugene P. Murphy, who graduatedfrom the West Point MilitaryAcademyin 1867 and subsequently resigned fromthe army to engage in business, hastendered his services to the Secretaryof War. He believes that a regimentof resolute young Irish-ittnericaiscould be recruited readily at the Mis-sion.

Colonel John S. Mosby has recentlyreceived many letters from men whorode and fought with him in Virginia.They are anxious that he should leada mounted expedition in a cai.ipa.ign InCuba and express a desire 111 1 followwhere he leads. Colonel Mosby hasoffered his services to the Government.

Several army officers stationed at thePresidio have filed with the depart-ment commander, General Shafter, ap-plication for 'transfers to enable themto serve at the front. It is the com-mon belief among army men that SanFrancisco in the event of war betweenthe United States and Spain would beremote from the scenes of actual bat-tle. The command of a volunteer regi-ment is a prize which many a youngofficer contemplates and hopes to gain.General Shafter kindlylistens to all theapplicants and takes the applicationsinto consideration.

There is every indication that Gen-eral Wilson, chief of the Engineer Corpsof the United States army,.has receivedquite a liberal allowance for carryingout the plans adopted by the board offortifications for the defense of the har-bor of San Francisco. While the strict-est secrecy is enjoined upon the engi-neer officers of this division the facttranspires that two hundred mechanicsand laborers have been engaged towork at Lime Point.

The artillerymen now occupying thebarracks belonging to the engineershave been asked to find other quartersso that the force of workmen underthe direction of the Engineer Corps maybe housed. Tents may be sent over toFort Baker for the soldiers of that gar-rison.

The extensive character of the workIn contemplation at Lime Point leadsto the belief that an allowance hasbeen made from the recent appropria-tion of $50,000,000 for the constructionof a new line of works at that local-ity. Obviously the Government intendsto prepare to meet an side complica-tion growing out of a collision withSpain. When war begins no one cantell where it will end and how manyparties may be brought into the strug-gle. Should European or South Amer-ican sympathy be strong enough togive Spain allies San Francisco mightbecome an object of attack.

General Shafter, the departmentcommander, has decided to personallyinspect the harbor defenses of San Di-ego. Accompanied by Lieutenant JohnD. Miley.
