There is likely to be some serious trouble over the estate of George C. Potter, deceased, which lias been pending in the courts since 1833. The executors, Alfred Karstow holds a claims 1000 against the estate and he has employed Attorney .1. H. Urewer to try to collect the money from the executors.

The attorney intimates that he proposes make it very interest in for borne one, and says that he will have a complete acconntinr from the executors, 'lien Potter died he evidently did not believe he was a bankrupt, tor he made a will wherein he bequeathed large sums of monev to his relatives, fhe claim of the Francisco Savings Union took all the money there was in the es--, tate. Henry C. Campbell waa the attorney for the Savings -Union, and was alfo an erec ltor on Potter's estate, The valuable prupertv at the intersec- i tion of Broadway, Fourteenth, Telegraph and San Pablo avenues was sold by tie executors to- satisfy the claim of the Savings Union. Tha entire property in this Fection was Bold for some Among the purchasers were K. l'lav-ter and E.

II. Pardee, and their bids of $10 eacn for the interest of the Potter estate in the property were accepted, and the sale to them wa3 confirmed by the court. Of course they paid a Wrge sum for the property, but the money never came into the bands of the executors and was paid to the Savings Union to satisfy their claim. It is now intimated that an attempt may be made to set aside this sale after so many years and of course the land is now very valuable. Should this attempt be made, it will cause a verv lively contest, as neither Mr.

HfiaON.ieS I7I8-IW He Wmts to Secure 1 New Infield for the Oakland Club. Isaaeson, McDonald and Stlckaey Offered to San Fraucaaeo-Kew Flayers Signed. Colonel Tom Robinson, the hustling manager of the Oakland baseball nine, has several surprises in store for the cranks, which he proposes to spring in a few days. The Colonel is very jubilant over his prospects and says that he is sure to win the pennant again this year. "How am I going to do it?" said the Colonel, "Why first of all I am going to my nine and before the 15th of August I will have the best nine that ever played in the California League.

I know the cranks are getting a little sore because the Colonels are not forging ahead, but they are holding their own and that's just what I want. I'll beat Sacramento out sure and I'll just tell you how I am going to do it. First of all. remember that the season is not quite half over and we have yet 7S games to play. Up to the present time Sacramento is but four games ahead of us and San Francisco but two games.

Now you can see that we are well up in the race, even with our present team, and where will we be when I get my new players? I received word today that I could secure Charley Dooley, our old first baseman, and will take him, even if I have to come up to his term's, which I consider a little high. Of course that will let out Charley Isaacson. I have also accepted the terras of Joseph McGucken the left-fielder of the Jersey City team, and have sent on a contract for him to sign. He is a great hitter as well as a fine fielder, and I think I am sure of securing him. I have also in my ioeket a contract signed by a noted Eastern twirler, but I cannot give you bin name at present, because lie is not free from the club with which he is playing in the East.

As for Veach and Dailey, I have given up all hope of securing them this season." "My great point is to get rid of my entire infield and secure in their places some Eastern I have made Manager Finn of the San Franciscos an offer to take Isaacson, McDonald, and Stickney otl" my hands, and will give them to him free of charge. If ho accepts the offer that will let out Riley, Shea, snd Perrier of the San Franciscos. Of course, I do not know that he will accept my proposition, but it is certain that 'Frisco will have to be strengthened if they expect to be in the race. "All my new players will be here before August 15th, as a rule of the California League requires that all Eastern players must be in California before that date or they cannot play in the league games."

THE ASSESSMENT. The Marsh Land Only Hated at an Acre. The article published exclusively in yesterday's Tkibtxk relative to the desire and intention of the City Board of Equalization to increase the city assessment to fifty millions of dollars created no little talk among the real estate men and City Hall olhcials.

Auditor Snow, while admitting that tin- board has to do as has been the right Btnt-r1 thinlrs that. tho nrrvprlnro is improbable, inasmuch as every prop- ertv holder affected would have to bo cited to appear, ami making such a general rise would mean the hearing of a storm of protestations and complaints that would string out ad infinitum. In connection with the article, how ever, one big fact regarding the assessment of the West Oakland marsh land has been brought to the surface. Mr. Sessions 1 as been reported as saying that pieces of the land have been sold sold for an acre, while it appears that the average assessment of this land is only 250 per acre.

Chief Tompkins's attention wa3 called this morning to the remarks made by ihe Councilmen wien in committee last night "relative Jo his request for 1 pistols. It was there stated that the police force was in possession of revolvers, or, rather, had been, that the officers consideied the weapons personal property, and. one by one, they had disappeared from the station. It was also remarked and affirmed that the City had purchased revolvers for such use, and it was suggested that the Chief be called upon to explain the matter. "Well." said Chief Tompkins, "at the present moment there are just three the property of the city, in the possession of this department.

One is up stairs in my office, and the other two in the police receiving room. The revolvers referred to by the Councilmen, were purchased by members of the force some time ago with money they obtained from a lur.d supplied by the result ot enter- tainments they were in the haTjit of civ- iner. lney also purciiaseu anumDerot rifles by Euch means, but all of these weapons were theirindividual property, and from time to time they have been carried away, until now all are gone. The Chief further stated that he wanted the arms simply in case of emergency, and that it is customary to have them in olf largo cities for nse in case of riot, etc. As far as ordinary personal equipment was concerned tbe men have to furnish their own weapons.

the monev for the boy's benefit. It was eet forth the trust that in the event the son died the money was to go to Henry Trevor, a well-known young man ot this city, Walter Anderson, Edsrar II. Fritch. and Cavalier Jouett. The boy died, and these people succeeded the boy in tfee trust.

Mrs. Doyle then married II. B. Berryman. After years of waiting Trevor and Anderson came to the couclusion that Mrs.

Berryman had violated the trust imposed upon her and brought suit for an accounting, asserting that she spent the" trust money to buy real estate in her own name and that of her husband, and accusing her of fraud. Fritch and Jouett, the other beneficiaries under the trust, do not, however, agree with the charges of Trevor and Anderson, and, as they were made defendants in the suit they have today filed their answer and taken up the side of Mrs. Berryman, thus making an interesting three-cornered legal battle. They sav that it is not true that Mrs. Eerryman suddenly departed for Canada in labs in order to avoid civnur an account of her trust or that she cave her husband her power of attorney for the purpose of defrauding the plaintiffs out of their just claims against the property which she had purchased.

They further deny that Mrs. Bern-man is not financially able.to account in full for the trust funds atid the accumulations there of. The beneficiaries declare that Mrs. Berryman, by tbe advice of counsel, invested in good faith, trust money in the col business carried on by thl firm of Uerryman loyie, and it so remained invested until the firm failed and the money wai lost. They believe that Mrs.

Berryman lias "acted in the highest good faith toward them in the matter of tho trust, which was created wholly and solely at -ber instance and request, and declare that the trust wonld have never been created in the will had it not bean at the personal request of Mrs. Berryman made fo ber husband. James Doyle, prior to his death. For the reason thus given, they ask that Trevor and Anderson may take nothing bv their action. Robert M.

Fitzgerald, who appears as attorney for the plaintiffs, propose to fight the case to the bitter end, and as- Certs that Mrs. Berryman has applied the trust funds to her personal nse and benefit.
