In 1852 Mr. Holcomb came overland to California and became Identified with Wells, Fargo Co. He was known as one of the daring shotgun messengers o' Sierra county. He remained with the company for a number of years, and although many efforts were made to rob the stag? he guarded not one of them was successful. When Mr.

Holcomb retired from the duties of shotgun messenger he had a record of never having lost a dollar for the company, although he bad guarded a vast amount of treasure during his service. During the '60s Mr. Holcomb located at Unlonville, where he took an active part In politics. He was engaged in the business of mining when the people elected him County Clerk and subsequently honored him with the office of County Assessor. After a prosperous career In Nevada he returned to California and made San Francisco his home.

The opportunities for him were greater in a large city and he improved them. In 1S66 Mr. Holcomb opened a warehouse and went into the grain husi-ucss. In the following year U. Ransom became a partner in the business and the firm was known as W.

A. Holcomb Co. The business was enlarged in time and the firm engaged in shipping grain to European ports. In 1S77 the partnership was dissolved and since that time Mr. Holcomb has been carrying on a commission business on his own account.

Besides beiug President of the organizations mentioned, Mr. Holcomb was Vice-President of the Snn Francisco Produce Benevolent Association. He has served two terms as President of the Produce Exchange Call Board and Produce Exchange. He was a prominent Mason, being a member of Oak-loud Lodge. In politics he was a staunch Republican and took an active interest in local affairs.

Mr. Harmon bad reached the age of seventy-five years, and had not been well since the death of his wife over a year ago. Ha had an enlargement of the liver, and the suffering from this and the sorrow at the death of bis wife hastened his end. For tho last four months he has been falling rapidly and a few days ago It was seen that he could not survive.

His family, consisting of his son, A. K. P. Harmon District Superintendent of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, and his daughter, Mrs. George C.

He began life as a clerk in Portland nnd afterwards went to Georgia. His tastes were commercial, and when h-5 determined to go to California it was with the intention of seeing what there wan to be found commercially in tho Golden Stale.

He Btarted in 1S48, made bis way to what is now Colon, but was thon called Cbagres, after the river of that name.

Dr. Merritt hud Just received a shipload of framed houses and Mr. Harmon bought one to set up as a store. He got the building up and found that Dr. Merritt had neglected to give him the door.

He opened negotiations for tho lost door, and while he was waiting to pet it a lire swept away a portion of Sun Francisco and his building. He then gave up San Francisco and went to Sacramento, where he opened a boot and shoo store. Wheu ho returned to San Francisco a few years later he took with him $100, 0no, the profits of his Sacramento business. De then wont Into mining and became quite closely associated with I. L.

He invested In the Washoe district in Nevada, and mado a large fortune in Chollar.Ophir and Imperial, holding the Presidency of several of these companies when their stock was worth hundreds of dollars a share. The greatest period of hla fortune was between 1SB4 and IS72.

Some twenty years ago Mr. Harmon retired from active life. He purchased a tract of six acres near the head of the western arm of lAke Merritt and erected the magnificent Harmon residence. He improved the place in the most elegant manner and devoted the later years of his life to the cultivation of rare plants. One of the features of the plate was the conservatory nnd hothouses.

Edward Barron, was the father of THE LATE The President of the San Francisco Produce Oakland last night, her son, Sixteen years ago she was Barron's housekeeper at his Mayfleld ranch, having been engaged by him soon after her arrival from Kentucky, and shortly after his second wife died. From Montelth's point of view the colored woman has a good case and he believes if It. should be properly conducted her son would be declared heir to the one-ninth Interest for which Monteith began suit last July. Notwithstanding this belief Monteith has abruptly ceased to be the boy's attorney, and John Meeker Green, a pioneer miner, rjiose home Is at 1'4'iO'j Market street, has applied to Judge Coffey to be relieved from the duties of guardian of the claimant. Green has been guardian for less than a year.

His' explanation for his sudden desire to sever this relation with the mulatto Is that he Is not In position to continue to act as guardian. It has proved expensive rather than profitable. "In reference to Montieth's position us attorney and his feelings toward Kowal-sky," Green remarked last night, "I have nothing to say. In my opinion Montleth has acted conscientiously throughout the case. The mailer will all be explained in.

Judge Coffey's court. I suppose, to-morrow afternoon, and I shall be glad to be relieved from all further connection with the case." Montieth succeeded General Dickinson a year ago ns attorney. With a man named Brown as guardian of tho hoy, General Dickinson began an action In December, ISM, for a partial distribution of tho estate, but upon Brown's removal and Green's appointment thai method of proceedure was abandoned, and the uil under what Is now commonly' known as tho "Blythe estate section" was started. "I have withdrawn from the case." Montieth explained when questioned about it, "and I will my reasons In court. The mother of the boy has shown a determination for some time to have Kowalsky employed as attorney In addition to myself, and I believe Evan S.

"Since Mrs.

I have my reasons for this. 1 have carefully examined the boy's claim His mother's story seems easy to be substantiated, and I think the boy lias a good case.

Building Trades Council Decides to Start on a New Plan of Campaign. Mass Meetings of All the ployed Union Men Will Held Twice a Day. Unem- Be SIX PER CENT ASSESSMENT LEVIED.

Brewery Workmen Appeal for Moral Support in Case They Cannot Agree With the Bosses, The Building Trades' Council has decided to enforce the card system at all hazards. pains will he spared to push the matter throng at oriop. a number of mass meetings will bp held twice a day, beginning this morning, at toe Turk-street Tomple. The fght wan agreed upon at hist night's electing of the council. When the Building Trades Council originally decided to enforce the card system It was resolved to compel all contractora to recognize the ea.d on and after April 1st There was apparently little or no antagonism to the scheme.

The union men had a few unimportant differences with petty houses, hut none of tho prominent builders fought the idea. As the days passed by some of tho men grew less exacting and loEt their enthusiasm. The heads of the unions saw that if new llfo was not Instilled Into their plans they would fall. With tbls end In view the question of renewing the cain-pfllgn v.as discussed last evening. The 1st of May has for a number of years been recognized among and celebrated by the workingmen as an International labor day.

No bettor time, the leaders thought, could be selected on which to renew the fight to enforce the card. This was' all expiated at the meeting of the council, and after a long discussion a resolution was passed to hold meetings of nil the unemployed men connected with the council every morning at 10 o'clock and each afternoons at 3 o'clock. At the gatherings there will be Metal Roofers, Glaziers, Lathers, Painters, Polishers and Var-nlshers. Paper Hangers, Carpenters, Tile Fetters and Plasterers. The meetings of the unemployed will be conducted by the business agents of the council and the Grievance Committee.

A number of sub-committees will be ap pointed by tho council to Investigate every job In the city. No excuses will be taken. All the men must have cards or else a strike will be declared on the building on which they are employed. It is expected that the new arrangements will be In work ing order by Monday. "There Is no use of talking a whole lot of stuff and doing nothing," said J.

McCartney of the Grievance Committee. "The Council has adopted the card system hich must be enforced. There can be no compromise. We will conduct these meetings of the unemployed twice a day and In vestigate every Job until none but union men are working and the card Is in active operation. There is no other course left open to us.

We must either win or lose on this venture. If we cannot enforce the card we are powerless to better our condition A communication was received from the Brewery Workmen relative to the Impending trouble between the union, and the bosses association. It asks for the moral support of the Council In case a crisis reached. The Council decided to do all in its power to help the brewers. Following Is the communication: To the Officers and Members of the Building ratios council, 115 Uurk street, San Fran cisco Fellow Workers: The United Brewery Workmen of San Francisco are faced with an alternative of giving up their union or fighting for Its recognition.

We have tried by every honorable means to avoid this conflict, but h.ave been met by Insults and repulses. We ere now determined to make a final test of strength, and a.sk your sympathy and moral support when the time of action arrives. We desire an of your opinion and ideas at this time, as the knowledge of such Is vital to our plans. We take It for granted that the helping hand' of fraternal friendship will be extended to us by you, and ask such assurance as a matter of detail and preparation only Fraternally yours, Cnited Brewery Workmen'! Union of San Francisco, JOSEPH WALTERS, Sec. A large portion of the evening was taken up with a discussion of the proposition as to whether or not the Shlnglers' Union would be admitted to the Council.

George Barker, a delegate of the Union, has been setting the case of the organization before the various bodies comprising the Council. He claimed that the shinglcrs had a right to a representative the central body on the grounds that they organized at tho instigation of the Council. Some of the delegates had been Instructed by their unions declare against the admission of the shin-filers. A vote was taken, with the result that the shlnglers cannot Join the Council for the present. There was a misunderstanding relative to the claims and position of the shinglers.

Some of the delegaten were afraid that they would Interfere ith the rights of the carpenters. The matter will come up for discussion at the next tweeting of the council. In order to guard against financial stress in case of a general strike It was decided to assess each member of the unions affiliated with the Council 6 per cent per capita during the month of May. This will be used as a strike fund. A resolution introduced fcr ti' purpose of creating a general strike fund by assessing the working members of unions was referred to the Committee od Resolutions.

J. McCartney proposed that a resolution be adopted declaring the necessity of cn-lorcing the eight-hour law. He suggested that word be sent to the State Representatives at Washington as sodn as possible an have them do all in their power to have tho Federal law put into effect. Further action iu the matter was referred to the Grievance Committee. The strike on th battleship Oregon was referred to the same body.

Delegates from the Polishers' and Var-rbhors' Union were seated in the Coun-t il. There will be a mass meeting of woodworkers for the purpose of strengthening their union a week from next Tuesday.

There has been a revolution In the Board of Directors of the French Mutual Benevolent Society. It all happened in a few moments and will probably subild? as quickly as commotions in the Chamber of Deputies usually do. The newly elected Directors were holding a meeting for the purpose of electing the chief surgeon and the head of the Department of Gynecology.

The ward politician would describe what took place as a breaking of the slate. The President's and his friends' candidates were not elected, and the other fellow' was. Dr. De Marville was chosen chlruglen en chef instead of Dr. Charles Brigham and Dr.

Oscar Maler. against whom a fight was made a year ago, was elected with flying colors and the slate candidate. Dr. Samuel Boyd, was, figuratively speaking, wiped out. Then French explosives and expletives could be restrained no more, and the van quished Directors, led by the President.

with four of the victorious Directors, resigned en bloc. Why the four winning members of the board resigned Is one of those peculiar things no one can explain. "Oh, I think they will draw down their resignations and everything will go smoothly at the French Hospital." This is the optnion of Dr. De Marville, surgeon-ln-chlef elect. "It was very Frenchv.

I am sure wish I could have been there. I explain If all on the score of friendship to Dr. Brtg- nam. no naa neen physician for manv years. It was an Impulsive ay of show ing appreciation tor mm and sympathy with him on the occasion of his defeat as a candidate for re-election at the head of the hosnltal.

1 had little expectation of what was going to nappon. I wo directors came to me a few flays ago and asked whether I would con sent to become a candidate for the post of neaa surgeon, nan run Dr. Gross a very ciose race tor tne post or visiting surgeon wnen mere was a vote or the entire society and I consented to let my name go before the utrectors. ell, the unexpected happened. Now as for the reasons of such a change In feeling, i uiiiiiv iney can oe readily explained.

Dr, lingham is a rich man. He does not need a large practice any more, and he does not pay that strict attention to business to en- aDie mm to maintain a large clientele. Ho travels and he spends the summer in Tahoe By the by. I notice the dispatches say there Is very cold weather on Lake Tahoe a coincidence, 1 suppose. However, what the h.is- pltal wants Is a doctor who ran bring paying patients.

All these hospitals need paying patients to enable them to carry on their gratuitous work. The French Hospital Is spienuiruy equipped, and patients as a consequence can have the best possible treatment." It is understood that two of the witnesses, one of horn was only appointed a few days ago, will tender their resignations, but the majority of the hospital force will remain. Dr. Maler and Dr. De Marville will meet at the hospital to-day.

Last night's programme was an excellent one In every respect, but the chief Interest of the performance naturally lay in the selections given bv the accomplished young Spanish violinist. The third concerto by Saint-Saens, In which Klvarde first appeared, is a work of great beauty, and the soloist proved himself fully eouiil to the unusual difficulties of the score. His interpretation of the solo part was warm and symphr.hetlc, and at the close of the last movement the audience broke out into enthusiastic appaluse, which drew forth, as an encore number, Godard's charming lullaby from "Jocelyn." Hy special request Itlvarde subsequently nlaved Wieniawskt's "Airs Kss-es" in place of the number announced on the programme. and for tills he received a perfect ovation, playing two encore numbers, "Sapnlsh I lances," by Sarsate.

and a romance by Tschaikowski. Lachauine's solos were played In excellent style, the Scherzo by Chopin being particularly effective. He was encored for both selections, and gave as estra numbers a mazurka by Lack and a gavotte of his own composition. Donald de V. Graham, as the vocalist of the evening, scored his usual success.

He sang Adam's "Noel" as but few can sing It, and his beautifully sympathetic voice was never heard to better advantage. For an encore he gave Molloy's little song "Only To-N'ight." which Is always a popular favorite, and later In the procramme he sang Meyer Ilelmund's "Ich Wandle Unter lllumen" and Cowcn's "Forever and Forever." The orchestra played throughout the concert with considerable taste and expression, ami under the direction of 11. .1. Stewart. pave a very satisfactory rendition of the complicated score of bamt-haons concerto.

To-night Rtvarde plays Max liruch's first concerto and Walter's prize song from the "Meislersinger." GAVE 11 DOPE TO THE KOBSES Warrants for the Arrest of Two Men at the Bay District Track H. Williams Is Quite Certain That He Has Located the Guilty Parties Stable Boys Involved. T. H. Williams nnd Attorney Henry Aeh were out last night to capture the men who have been "doping" the horses at the Bay District track.

The reward of 500 for information brought the hoped-for result. One ot the track boys told of two men who had administered medicine to Gracie S. These two men are employed in the stables. One is a trainer. The other Is a harger-on who does odd Jobs and makes money by touting.

It is this latter who is looked upon as the more guilty party. Mr. Williams and Mr. Ach found Judge Campbell shortly after midnight. It was Just 1 o'clock thiB morning when they drove up to the City Hall with him and secured two warrants.

The warrants were put In tho bands of Det-ctive Ross Whittaker for service. Mr. Whlttaker took a couple of policemen with blm and started for the Bay District Track in a hack. "We do not know that these men are the ores who put the sponges in the nostrils of Decision and Majorie," said Mr. Williams.

"But we are satisfied that they are guilty cf "doping." It is hardly prohabie that there would be two cliques systematically doping horses to beat the books. We know they are the ones who doped Grace S. "I am fatlpfini that the men we are after are merely the tools of who did the belting. We do not know who the principal ara. but you may be sure we will spare no expense to discover then."
