The and John L. L'avie is a candidate for Mayor and n- such has on several occasion? locked horns with the present Mayor, George C. Paniee, alleging grievous- errors on the' part of Pardee administration. In a speech last night Mayor Pard'ee answered Darie'ts charges at length.

He said: L. D.uir, the Populist nominee for Mayor, has been about stating as facts things he knows are lies. It is high time Mr. DaTie's lies were nailed, and I propose to do it. Mr.

Davie says the city taxes are $2 25 on the sloo. He-knows that this is. not Taxes in this city are but Li on the 1100, and they have been that for the two years chat this Council has been in lie knows that taxes under the lait City Council were $1 on the $100. knows that of the present rate $1 is for running expenses and 12 cents for interest nd redemption of bonded indebtedness. Mr.

also knows it to he untrue when he asserts that there is a deficiency of in the city treasury. As a matter of fact, this is a cold-blooded fabrication of Mr. Davie's and, like all other campaign lies, is worthy only of a political charlatan such as Mr. Davie is. "Another of Mr.

Davie's campaign lies is sis follows 'The City Council has spent $75,000 on the water-front suits and has gotten them only as far as the Superior Court. If it takes $75,000 to get the suits only as far as the Superior Court, how much will it take to get them to a decision in the court of last "By this Mr. Davie means to intimate, though he dare not say so, that the council has paid $75,000 to have the water-front cases tried in the Superior Court, and that it will cost more money to take the cases to the higher whence they will be appealed by the railroad when it gets the adverse judgment that the Superior Court will surely give. In the first place the City Council has not any $75,000 to have the waterfront suits brought, and Mr. Davie knew this when he said the opposite.

la the second place, it will not cost any more money than has been already paid to take the cases to the higher courts. Family Troubles. Ada Lerick, one of the bright particular stars who is at present playing an engagement at the People's Theater, has at last secured service upon Actor Levick in a suit for divorce brought in 1894. The ground for the divorce is extreme cruelty, and the plaintiff asks for $150 monthly alimony and the custody of their minor child. Mrs.

Carra M. Funke was granted a divorce from Bruno M. Funke by Judge Prick yesterday on the ground of extreme crneltv. Plaintiff was awarded the custody of the minor child, with a $10 monthly allowance for its support. Keller Slakes Affidavit.

P. J. Keller, the nurseryman of Piedmont, returns to the attack upon Constable Hitchcock, who arrested the sick man Samuel Brown on Tuesday last. Brown, Keller says, has been treated outrageously. He ii a man unknown here, but he fias a rich brother in Indianapolis, who has been communicated with.

Brown still lies in a paralyzed state at the Receiving Hospital. Yesterday Edward Touchard, who is employed by Mr. Keller, made an affidavit to the effect that Brown was taken from a sick bed to the prison. Brown was taken in his nightclotnes to the lockup. Another Home Industry.

Manager .1. W. Nelson of the Oakland Preserving Company, one of the leading industries of the coast, is authority for the statement that the concern is soon to add a meat-packing department, which will give employment to about 200 additional hands. At present the company is only able to run a portion of the year, as they only can fruit and vegetables, 'but with the addition of their meat-packing machinery they will be enabled to run the entire year with a working force of 800 men, women and children. The Devil After Him.

Fred Reed is the name of a young man who imagines the devil is in pursuit of him. He was picked up meandering aimlessly about last night and locked up at the County Jail. Reed, behind the bars, spends most of his time in singing, occasionally appealing to Jailer White to protect him from the devils in pursuit Of him. He was at one time addicted to the use of opium.

Officer Mouser has given residents rive days in which to comply with the order. ALAMEDA. Inasmuch as Senate bill 24 has become i a law it becomes incumbent upon the citit of Alnmeda to elect a City Attorney and a City Clerk on the Bth of April. An interesting question has arisen how the Good Government Club can make a nomination for the office in view of the fact that its list of nominees was closed last Thursday.

It goes without Baying that whoever runs for the ouice will have to present his nominating petition to authorize the City Clerk to place his name on the ticket. City Attorney Taylor and Clerk Millington were both in favor of the bill to make their ollices elective and will endeavor to succeed themselves in their respective offices. it is argued thar aspirants for these two offices will have tn run independently without nomination by the Good Government Club, however much the nomination may be desired. It is also contended that the executive committee cannot name these vacant places as no such power is given by the articles of association, and its powers and duties are limited. In view of the foregoing facts the Good Government Club cannot make nominations for these oflices unless articles of association are suspended, which requires that every nomination shall be made at a regular meeting of the club, and indorsed by at least ten members one week before the nominating convention, which takes place to-day.

City Attorney Taylor is out with his petition for a place on'the ticket. Another Convention. Columbus Bartlett, W. M. Bramhall.

D. L. Randolph. G. A.

Moore, G. W. Scott and Willard B. Reed have decided to call a convention at Harmony Hall this evening. olmnbus Hartlett is chairman and M.

It lias been decided to ask the candidates named by the Good Government Club for city trustees and city marshal to subscribe to a pledge containing the following principles: First To maintain the present liijuor license ordinance and strictly enforce the t-tvme. To a tax rau- each year not to exceed 'I per cent upon a and fair valuation of the property assessed for State.county and city purposes. To oppose ail annexation schemes relative to Oakland. To favor the principles of the referendum.

Pledges are being circulated among voters for signatures, the signers declaring their intention to votepnly for such candidates as pledge themselves to the above principles. A Home Destroyed. The residence of Mrs. Emma at the junction of Central and Alameda avenues, was totally destroyed by lire at an tally hour yesterday morning. The tire was not discovered until it Bad a eood headway.

It is thought that the tire was of incendiary origin, as the drawers of the bureaus had been pulled out and ransacked. There were some valuable mirrors in the house. The total loss will reach $5000. At a Age. Henrietta Tracy died yesterday from old age at the residence of her granddaughter, Mrs.

Dr. Fletcher, on Central avenue. She was a native of Massachusetts and celebrated her ninetieth anniversary only a few days ago. BEEKELEY. The published rumors to the effect that i the new charter has been invalidated on account of the Legislature adopting the section among others creating the office of Justice of the Peace by concurrent resolution, while the constitution provides the ottice shall be created by a bill, has been proven to be false, at least to a reasonable extent.

The cases of the San Diego and Oakland charters, in which the same question arose, arc cited by the friends of Berkeley's charter in confirmation of their assertions. Even if- the section is illegal it would not invalidate the rest of the measure. Still, to settle all doubts, the Legislature will be asked to remove all i doubt in the premises and definitely settle the legality of the town's new form of government. Independent Taxpayers. The first meeting of the campaign was held Tuesday night in the Harm block, when the executive committee of the Independent Taxpayers held a session.

The members spent the evening in discussing the method of nominating the Town Trustees. The two methods most in favor conof appointing fifteen delegates from each ward and allowing them to make the nominations, or to hold ward primaries. After deciding to hold the convention April (j the meeting adjourned. U. Win a Game.

THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1895. SOLD OUT TO A RIVAL CONCERN A Los Angeles insurance Agent Suddenly Forsakes the Compact. ANOTHER LOSS TO THE UNION. The Home Company Secures the Business of the American Central. In the insurance troubles the scene of action has been temporarily moved from this city to Los Angeles, where a clear victory over the board companies has been gained by a non-union manager.

A southern agent representing the American Central Insurance Company of St. Louis sold out his business to the Home Company, of which Arthur E. Magili is general manager for the Pacific Coast. The price paid by the Home Company is said to be 000, which fact indicates that the business of the Los Angeles agent is quite large and of sufficient importance to have a decided influence on the local fight. The American Central Company, whose Pacific Coast general manager is Charles Christensen, belongs to the Board of Fire Underwriters, while the Home is one of the strong companies not in the compact.

The former lias a paid-up capital of while the hitter's capital is $3,000,000, and the business of each stands in a similar ratio. 'With this much in view, some local managers have concluded that the union agent succumbed to the non-board company in the fight that knows no quarter with regard to rates. Manager Christensen of the American Central Company went to Los Angeles yesterday for the purpose of making a prompt investigation. His agent in that city has a large number of friends, brought considerable business to his concern and, as a matter of course, could turn the patronage to another company. The assistant manager here admitted that the Los Angeles agent had sold out to a non-board company, but was of the opinion that he did not get quite as much as $5000.

Further than ihat he would admit nothing. Rumor has it among the managers that the American Central's Southern agent was not satisfied with his prospects under the fierce opposition of such powerful companies as the Phoenix and Home under MagiH's manaeement, the Continental and others which are out of the compact, and Uiat he decided to take time by the forelock and sell out to one of his rivals. Members of the Board of Fire Underwriters would not discuss this latest turn in the present strained relations between them and their opponents. But some of the independent agents and managers hold that it is one of many events now occurring which will eventually disrupt the board. Another difficulty that has arisen through the Sun Company's cutting rates in Oakland against the German-American, both board companies, was discussed by the board yesterday.

The Sun's Oakland agent sold out his business to the German- American for $1000. When the Sun manager learned what had taken place and saw his business slipping away lie began to cut rates in violation of a rule prohibiting board members from cutting against one another. As the result of the meeting the Sun manager will have to appear to-day to defend his action on a charge of deliberately violating a rule of the compact. A belief prevails among several managers that in case the board should break up the managers of British companies will form a combine of their own and hold no intercourse with American or German companies, but the British managers would not admit that such a course was contemplated. HOW MULES GO TO SEA.

A Few of the Difficulties Experienced iv Shipping Them. A mule is well, a mule is what nature intended him to be, whether at sea or ashore, and his mind is as immovable as the eternal hills. About a dozen of this incorrigible species was embarked yesterday on board the bark Annie Johnson, consigned to Honolulu, and the difficulty undergone by the vessel's crew in persuading the home-loving animals to quit their native stable was enough to drive the average gentle, patient, long-suffering sailorman, mad. The first trial was getting the mules down to the water front. The saline smells of the bay were not agreeable to mule nostrils, and the forests oi masts, festooned with things that looked like halter ropes, was not a pleasing object to mule eyes.

And then the Annie Johnson herself appeared uncanny and decidedly uncertain as a mule habitation. Moreover the Hawaiian Islands, aside from the fact that they were 700 leagues away, was not a place where mules could expect to be happy; consequently they objected with menacing heels and plaintive brays to such forceful deportation. On the" wharf cages or portable stalls had been rigged, and into these seemingly innocent contrivances it was confidently expected that the mules would walk with all the submissiveness of the proverbial lamb. But the mule generally does not walk that way, and these twelve were no exceptions to the rule. They "shied" at the hos- stalls, and their lively eels kept the dock clear more effectively than a whole detail of harbor police could have done.

Mind finally triumphed over mule matter and they were caged. Then came the "swing" aboard, and it is safe to say no such frantic animals were ever before "seen. Every turn of the steam-winch lifting them through the air brought out the most earnest kicking possible in the muscles of a mule. The planks of the strong structure resounded in a thunderous tattoo from the swinging hoofs, and the splinters flew over bark and bay. But even mules must give away to man.

and the mechanical means he brings to aid him in his nefarious schemes, and the exiles were all securely stabled on the deck. Several of the crew were more or less kicked for their ofheiousness in forcing mules to leave their natal heath, but the Annie Johnson got her cargo and they are probably now pleasantly engaged in kicking her rail overboard, while the good baric bounds away over the ocean. THE RAILROAD MULCTED. Imitators of Stop-Over Robingon Win Their Cases. Justice of the Peace Barry gave judgment against the Southern Pacific Company in two suits that were tried before him yesterday.

The testimony was almost identical with that given in the many actions of Dr. Robinson against the corporation, and the suits hinged on the right of the railroad to refuse stop-over privileges on tickets from San Francisco to Oakland or Alameda. The first suit was that of C. H. Loomis, whose right to stop over at Broadway, Oakland, on a ticket from San Francisco to Alameda was denied by the company.

He was given damages in the sum of $200. Thomas D. Pool, on a similar complaint, was awarded damages in the sameamount. OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY Mrs. Alii.ii- J.

Hunter in Her Own Defense. The preliminary examination of Mrs. Abbie.l. Hunter, president of the Women's Real Estate Investment Company, was continued before Judge Joachimsen yesterday. Attorney Smith, for the defendant, said he was perfectly willing and had been willing, before Mary O'Ponnell swore the complaint, to give her a deed to the lot in question, or the exact amount the lot would cost the company.

This the complaining witness had declined to accept. The sole reason for the prosecution lay in the fact that the company had an agreement with the Sunnyside Land Company to pay $380 for each lot, and they were sold for $600, a profit of When Miss O'Donnell found that she was paying more for her lot than the company was paying to the Sunnyside Company she wanted her money back. Mrs. Hunter testified that in June, 1894, Miss O'Donnell wanted her money back, but never said that she wanted a deed, or offered to pay up the balance due. At the time Miss O'Donnell said she was ready to pay up the balance she was asking the witness not only for the money she had paid on the lot, but for $50 from witness, which was given her.

Witness contradicted Miss O'Donnell on other points. Letters were produced from Miss O'Donnell showing that she was hard up in the country, and wanted $.50 to start a laundry. The judge continued the case fora week when argument of counsel will he heard. NO TIDINGS OF THE COLUSA The Vessel Is Forty Days Overdue From Tacoma for Shanghai. Caught in the Big Gale Which Sent Two Colliers to the Bottom.

The American bark Colusa, bound from Tacoma for Shanghai, is ninety-three days out and grave fears are entertained for her safety. She Jeft Tacoma on December 3, with a cargo of lumber on board, and has not been spoken or sighted since. Five days after she sailed the most frightful storm ever experienced on the coast set in, and for four days raged with unabated violence. All coastwise vessels between here and the sound which were out at the time were anxiously looked for, and anxiety for their welfare only ceased when they were safely in port. It was in this storm that the overladen colliers Montserrat and Keweenaw went down with all hands on board, and it is feared by many that the Colusa has met the same fate.

An average time to Shanghai for such a vessel is fifty days, and it is difficult to put a limit on the voyage to the westward, and the George F. Manson, fleet craft as she is, occupied over eighty days on her last voyage to the Orient. The Colusa is owned By George F. Smith Co. of this city and is commanded by Captain Backus, who is very well known on the coast.

Mr. Smith said yesterday that he was not worried by the lonK voyage of the bark and cited the run of the Manson as a criterion for trips across the Pacific. "It took the crack bark George F. Manson eighty-two days to go to said he, "and the Colusa is a slower boat." The underwriters do not share Mr. Smith's confidence in the safety of the long-overdue bark.

From time to' time the wreckage of some unknown vessel has been washed ashore near the sound and unaccounted-for derelicts have been sighted at sea. It is feared that some of this wreckage belonged to the Colusa, but on the other hanrfit is argued that if the vessel were, wrecked some of her lumber would have turned up. Still, with all the arguments in the vessel's favor, the fact exists that she is more than forty days overdue at Shanghai. The Colusa is, or was, one of the best known vessels sailing in or out of port. She is an old-rimer, having been on the coast for nearly twenty years.

She was built in Bath, in 1873, and was formerly owned by Stevens, Baker who ran her between this port, New York and Liverpool until she was bought by George F. Smith Co. She is 1188 tons gross and 1129 net, and is 197:9 feet in length, 38:8 feet breadth of beam and feet in depth of hold. She carried double topgallant yards, topsail yards and a main skysail yard. A peculiarity about her was her high jibboom and bowsprit.

It is estimated that the hull is worth $20,000, and ship, cargo and freight are insured in the Home Mutual Insurance Company and reinsured in other concerns. Sentenced to Six Months. Thomas F. Tiernan, a well-known lounger around the City Hall, was yesterday sentenced to six months in; h-CCounty Jail for petty larceny. He stole an ove coat belonging to Charles Welsh from the Supervisors' room last Thursday night and pawned it.

In his pocket was found a pawn-ticket for an umbrella. The police recovered the umbrella. Itisa valuable silk one with an ivory handle and a silver ferrule. An inscription on the ferrule had been scratched out, but "San Rafael" is faintly visible. The police believe that Tiernan stole it.

Jake Rudolph in Court. Jake Rudolph appeared in Judge Low's court yesterday morning to answer to the charge of assault to murder, preferred by .1. B. Eliot, cashier in the Chronicle business office. Aa the defendant's attorney, a.

J. Clunie, and Reuben Lloyd, special counsel for the prosecution, were not present the matter was put over till this morning. Rudolph has not yet secured bondsmen. LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Arrived.

Latest Move of Opposing Attorneys in the Blythe Case. MRS. SARAH DAVIS' CLAIM. It Will Be Taken to the Federal Supreme Court If Necessary. The Blythe case is not dead yet.

It is only slumbering, and the awakening may be equally as sensational as the original trial. There is but one serious obstacle to the settlement of the estate, and that is the claim of Sarah Davis, which is being slowly but steadily rushed toward the Supreme Court. The bill of exceptions is now under consideration by the attorneys for all parties immediately interested and in a few days it will be filed. Sarah Davis is the sister of the Savages, William and David, but unlike them, she had not appeared in the case until last December, when Judge CoSey issued an order for the distribution of the estate. Sarah Davis, with many others, then appeared, but all claims were set aside and the order was made in spite of the protests.

The rights of Mrs. Davis were of a different nature from those of the others, however, and she has therefore commenced proceedings on appeal. To answer the protests of the opposing parties the attorneys for Mrs. Hinckley, then Florence Blythe, submitted the judgment rendered by Judse Coffey in July, 1890, and upon this evidence the court finally closed the case ana made the order. Mrs.

Davis' position was that of an entirely new suitor, and therefore she, through her attorney, T. J. Lyons, exccpted to the introduction as evidence against her claim of a judgment rendered in an action to which she had not been a party. The Savages had been drawn into the case by the original summons, which mentioned each one except Mis. Davis, and as no new contestants were allowed In under the ruling of the court during the trial of the case, she had no chance to present her claim until the estate came up for final distribution last December.

In support of Mrs. Davis' claim her counsel relics upon the decision rendered by the Supreme Court upon the appeal, and also upon the fact that she has never had a hearing in court. Upon this latter point are based the grounds for an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, upon the provision of the constitution granting to every one a lawful hearing. In the other point is contained the evidence given upon the trial of the original contest. In rendering its decision the Supreme Court refused to consider that Florence Blythe had been legally adopted by Thomas Blythe, but it was decided that she was entitled to the inheritance because of four letters which Blythe had written and which apparently acknowledged her I as his heir-at-law.

These four letters were written in the presence of W. H. H. Hart, Florence's attorney, as his testimony shows, but the attorneys opposing were not allowed to test his credibility in the ways usual in court. Upon these letters rests the bulk of Mrs.

Hinckley's claim upon the estate, and these letters rest in a great measure upon Mart's testimony for their authenticity. A retrial of the 'case will therefore virtually be an investigation of the life and doings of Mr. Hart under the privilege of testing his veracity a.s a witness. A retrial of the case is exactly what the attorneys for Mrs. Davis hopefor, and if their contention, that they have the right of trial for their claim and the right to test the single witness to these important letters be declared sound, the case will have to be retried, at least so far as they are concerned.

Should the case be sent back for retrial all those who appeared and who came under the original judgment will be disbarred from entering, Tmt the State has never been included in any of the judgments and it is more than probable that it would iigure largely in the ca.se. Its last chance to appear occurred when in December last the order for final distribution was issued, but at that time Mr. Hart was Attorney -General as well as counsel for the successful litigant, and so the State's claims of escheat have never seriously passed. At present Mr. Hart and Garber, lioalt Bishop, Florence's attorneys, are wrestling over the bill of to the distribution proceedings submitted to them by Mr.

Lyons. When this is settled the Blythe case will once more appear in the Supreme Court with a new lease of life and with fresh points of law and fact to be adjudicated. MILL VALLEY'S DISCOVERY. It Will Soon Blossom Out as a Health Kesort. Mill Valley is to be turned into a sanitarium.

A medicinal mud well has been discovered there and a syndicate will be formed to build a large hotel in order to accommodate the large crowds which are expected to throng there. One of the residents started to dig a well a few months ago. When he had descended ten feet a stratum of mud was reached. For over a hundred feet the drill was sunk, but nothing but a semi-liquid mass could be found. Samples were taken to San Francisco for analysis, and itlwas found to be highly impregnated with minerals that are beneficial in many diseases.

Mill Valley now expects to vie with Paso Robles arid other such places as a health resort. 11 LATEST MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses were Issued by the County Clerk yesterday B. J. Ross and Emma J.
