The Alexander had a fewer number of skins in her possession.

trial of the two schooners took place at Sitka on September 20th and 21st, which the Rush left at once for this port, sailing direct. No decision has yet 7 been rendered. .7 On August 12. the revenue cutter Petrel seized the schooner G. C.

White for transferring Sealskins io the schooner Latin a at Sanhak Island. Her trial will off at on October 2. When the left Sitka she left the Mohican, the flagship, the Ranger, the Petrel and the of the American fleet and her Majesty's ship Champion in the Bering Sea, where were awaiting orders. The Albatross; of the American fleet, which left Sitka a few weeks prior to the departure of the Rush, was spoken on 7 September off Kings Cove, Alaska. She was then bound for Kodiak.

She reported at Sitka again on the 17tb, and on the 18th 7 sailed for Puizet Sound. This year Uncle Sam has taken precaution against the rookeries being robbed during the absence of the cutters. Trie 7 rookeries off St. Paul Island are known to 7 be the most prolific of any of these islands. These at St.

George Island are next. During the winter the seals gather at these 7o two islands to breed, and during this time they number millions. An armed guard of natives have during the past kept watch over the rookeries during this season, but have proved ah utter failure. Wheu a pirate vessel would come in the natives would become alarmed and make no fight 7 whatsoever. As a consequence during this period have been slaughtered right j-nd left, their skins taken and the coffers of the owners of the vessels well filled.

Before the Busk sailed for St.George Island left an armed guard under charge of a United States officer to protect the -all hazards. Tbe Rear has put a Hair guard under charge of an officer oh St Paid Island, ana should any rob I "bene be. attempted in these lavcred spots will be bloodshed.

i Judge Murphy of Del Norte, sitting in 7 Judge Levy's court-room distinguished yesterday by delivering some remarks on the way insane have been committed to asylums in city as they came under his 'He' beard two cases yesterday with Drs. "Windele and LUienthal present. One was a.Chinese whom Judge Murphy promptly discharged, saying th at he was sane but no friends, and was a fit subject for 7. the Geary act. 7 7The second case was that of George Altlirup, a saloon keeper, who will be remembered as having bitten the nose off his 7 wile some years ago because she preferred the attentions of his barkeeper.

-His divorced' wife appeared against him, his case proved to be one of delirium 7 tremens, and the court ordered him to be committed to the City and County Hospital. Judge Murphy cleared his throat said in a very emphatic manner: In this connection, as this will probably the. last examination I will hold, it Plight- not be inappropriate to say that the majority of cases brought to my attention 7 as Presiding Judge of Department 10 of persons charged with Insanity have come under the provisions of section 2220 of tbe Political Code, which reads as follows: "No case of idiocy or imbecility, or sim ple feebleness of mind must be maintained sit nor must any ease of delirum tremens be. admitted Into the asylum." State does not contract to care for and lake charge of such persons; but on the contrary the law expressly provides that a person must be so far disordered in mind as "to endanger health, person or -property" before he should be brought before any Judge of a court of record. Peo-'ple suffering from the effects of a drunken alter being in the Home of the In.

for a day or two.or morphine fiends suffering from the want of the drug, old and women, either feeble-minded or threatened with softening of the brain, or harmless insane persons should be taken care of otherwise than in State institutes forthe iusaue. lt has come Under my personal observation while Vue Q6urt in tbis department that cruel parents and unfeeling husbands have tried to shirk the responsibility which naturally belong to them and make the State the Guardian of their children and wives. Physicians should be extremely careful in their examinations, as they are supposed to be experts on insanity, and practice no imposition on Judges confiding in their Integrity. Persons charged with insanity have certain rights as well as persons charged with crime, and liberty is as sweet and dear to them, if unjustly accused, as it is to each and every oue of us. The suggestions of the California Association foi the Protection of Persons Charged With Insanity aud their assistance have been invaluable to me during the short time 1 have held these examination.

The press of the city and county of San Francisco has fully nnd fairly stated the insanity question and called the attention nf the people to the abuses practiced by insanity commissioners so called. I nm especially under obligations for the fair treatment I have received. THE MATHEWS MURDER. Inquest Continued, but Nothing Important Brought Out. "he in quest on the body of Clara Mathews was resumed last night by Coroner Hughes, but was not concluded.

There was nothing of much importance brought out. Robert Hector of the Ahlborn House testified to Gray coming to his place on September 12, but lie saw nobody with him. The entry. "Gray and wife, Petaluma," in the register, was in the handwriting of ills clerk. He identified Gray.

Anton Kolligf. clerk at the Ablborn House, testified to writing in the register the name 'of Gray and wife. He did not remember who told him the name. No objection was made by any one to the entry. Thomas Eaear, Superintendent of the City Cemetery, testified to having a permit from the Health office for the burial of Clara Mathers on Sunday.

September 17. Gray was with Metzler's driver. He received an order to disinter the same body from the Coroner last Saturday. E. D.

Palmer, an employe of Undertaker Metzler, was recall and identified Gray as the man known as Mathews, the woman's husband. He also identified Dr. yon IVerthern as being present when the body was taken from the house, 817 Mission street. Evelyn Charlesworth, granddaughter of Long, 817 Mission street, testified to Gray and Clara Mathews coining to the house, and that she was known as Gray. Witness answered the bell when Gray called first to engage a room.

George H. Klner. eravedieger at the City Cemetery, and W. S. Eagar, son of Superintendent Eagar, spoke of the burial and the disinterment.

The inquest was then adjourned until this afternoon at 1 o'clock, when the testimony of Drs. O'Brien and O'Connell, who made the autopsy on the body, will be taken. THEY WENT AWAY Why the School Board 1 W.X Urn At" Did Not Meet. A Successor Was to Have Been Elected to Take the Piace of Director French. The Auditor did not receive the teachers' warrants yesterday, and in consequence the school inarms will not receive their payas early as usual.

Auditor Broderick has always given preference to the teachers' warrants over all others, as he believes Ahmy are the first in the community who i fehould be paid. The fault of their not receiving them, however, does not rest with the secretary of the Board of Education and his assistants, but with the delin- I quent school board, which should have I met on Wednesday night to approve the warrants. There was a quorum on hand, but when a meeting was called to order by President I Hyde the requisite number was larking. The cause of this was due to Directors Decker and Dunn, who were present, but who departed before the meeting, thereby preventing a quorum. Various speculation was set on foot as as to the cause of certain directors stealing away to prevent the usual transaction of business.

The chief cause without doubt is that the minority learned that the majority were about to elect a successor to Director French, who recently resigned. Director Frencb was about to reconsider his resignation at the earnest tequest of the president and other members when the fatal and never-to-be-forgo'ten row took place, where coats and vests were taken off. After this disgraceful exhibition among those who were supposed to pose as examples for the youth of the city Director French reconsidered bis decision and con- eluded to permanently retire from the board and attend to his private business. A candidate has been selected to succeed French, but who he is the insiders will not give out. His name was to have been presented on last Wednesday night, but the failure of the quorum Interfered with the plan.

With Director French out of the board and Directors Clinton and Culver in the East. make, it hard to obtain a quorum if two or three members choose to stay away. As Dunn, Decker and Carey generally stand together, they can easily prevent a quorum whenever they desire. But, in the meanwhile, what about paying the poor teachers? The board must meet to approve their warrants. Another reason given for the Directors preventing a quorum on Wednesday night is that there is some question about chairmanship of the Committee on Grounds and Buildings.

When Director Dunn took sick early in the year Director Dowling was added to the committee as acting chairman, the understanding being that he was to be permanent chairman. When Dunn got well recently ho started in to claim the chairmanship of his committee. It was not given to him. Prevention of action on this question is supposed to have had considerable to do with the withdrawal of certain members from the committee-rooms ou Wednesday night, which broke the quorum when the board met iv chambers.

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1893. TRADE IS BRISK. A Large Increase Along the Front. BUSY ON THE CITY WHARVES. Arrangements for Through Shipment by Steamer of Oregon Hops.

Hard Times Disappearing. A steady Increase of shipping business has driven hard times from the city front, and everywhere along the wharves is evidence of activity. The professional croaker who persistently predicts dire calamity to Western trade interests and endeavors to convey the Impression that San Francisco is losing prestige as a commercial center has evacuated the shipping district, acknowledging signal defeat by his absence. The present week opened with an astonishingly bright prospect for traders, and its end bids fair to close one of the brightest business periods in the history of the water front in the past eight months. At no time during this year has there been so much freight moving over the docks acd so many vessels loading and discharging aB at the the present day.

Wharves that were deserted six weeks ago are now bustling with busy workers and rumbling with heavy teams, while the noisy puffing of donkey engines is heard on every hand. "Has business really picked up along the front?" was asked of Chief Wharfinger James Do 'bar yesterday. "Indeed it has," he answered emphatically. "Why, the State's revenue for dockseventy A BUSY SCENE ON THE HARRISON-STREET WHARF. age is over £400 more than it was at the time last month.

Nearly every berth is occupied or spoken for, and he grain sheds at sections 1 and 2 of the seawall are taxed to their utmost capacity." Apropos of grain, at Lombard-street wharf the North American Navigation Company's steamer Keweenaw is loading with one of the largest cargoes nf grain ever carried on a Panama Hue steamer. McNear's corner on the grain market have something to do with the Keweenaw's big grain cargo, but cheap freight rates and quick transportation are really the incentives for the About fifty stevedores and employes of the North American Navigation Company labor on Lombard-street wharf dally. One year ago no person with any other occupation than that of an nngler could have been found ben.ath the big dockshed. So much for competition and the dawn of better Next door to the Lombard-street pier are the offices of the Ore.oti Pacific Railroad Company. I).

R. Vaughn, general agent of this line, had a brand-new piece of intelligence to convey to the public through the columns of The Traffic arrangements have been perfected between the North American vigation Company and the Oregon Pacific Railroad whereby bop-growers of Southern Oregon can ship their cargoes to New York via San Franclseo over the two companies' lines for Sl per hundred, or cents cheaper than they can shin the in from Oregon to New York by rail. Arrangements to handle this class of business are now being considered. her thing I wish to tell you," said Mr. Vaughn.

"One of the finest sandstone quarries on the Pacific Coast has been discovered on the line of our road. We have arranged with the corporation that owns the quarry to transport the stone for 90 cents a cubic foot laid down at San Francisco. All or nearly all of this stone will come to San Francisco. It is the finest quality of silver gray stone and unsurpassed for building purposes. Now you can readily see what our business prospect, are; and as to an increase of business, yes, it has been particularly noticeable during this present month.

Oregon wheat is a little behind on acount of the early rains in the Willamette Valley, but last trip our steamer brought down 750 tons, and we expect a full cargo next week. Times certainly are better." Broadway wharves 1 and 2 are full of freight and tbe Pacific Coast Company hat forgotten that it intended to cut down its list of help and is now hoping that it may be able to employ more men. Freight business is not only good, but it is actually brisk, and passenger traffl never was better. The California Navigation operating a line of steamers to Stockton, is doing a land-office business. Their steamers, the J.

D. Peters and T. G. Walker, have made their regular tripsin Stockton this week loaded to their utmost capacity and have returned with equally large cargoes. Stockton is buying snipping at a lively iate, and Washingtonstreet whaif and the State are getting the full benefit of its rapidly growing traffic you see that freight?" asked J.

D. Pierson, a San Joaquin wheat-raiser, pointing to a lot of merchandise marked for up river points. "Well, that's more merchandise than I've seen moving to points out. side of the city of Stockton for a long while. You will see ten times that amount of freight piled up on this wharf if the Stockton and San Joaquin Valley road is built." There was not space enough yesterday morning on Jackson-street wharf 'to turn a two-wheeled cart around in.

Teams have to take their turn in line now when they want to go on Jackson-street wharf when a river steamer is in. As to deep-water shipping, the wharves south of tbe terries have been transformed from large expanses of dust-laden planking to merchandise-covered freight-receivers. Harrison-street wharf has enough general merchandise on it to start a half dozen good-sized stores. The ships Sterling and J. B.

Thomas are making the Southern Pacific envious by discharging merchandise that the railroad used to have exclusive control over. One month ago Harrison-street wharf was almost deserted. Howard-street piers 1 and 2 are filled with busy workers, and at Steuart-street wharf the little Russian steamer Katie is discharging ber cargo of sealskins. About fifty men are employed packing the skins in barrels (or shipment to England and taking out tbe vessel's cargo. About men In ail were busy on this wharf yesterday, and it is safe to say that it was the busiest day the wharf has seen for many, many months.

The Union Pacific steamers are picking up rapidly, and dock is full of freight. The British ship Cantock Rock, one by, has kept a number of men at work for several days past, and of nil kinds, including shipments of plate and window glass, which engage the attention of trucks galore. Main-street dock generally a busy one, but yesterday every berth was taken and it seemed more lively than ever. A number of vessels wanted to get in there, but could not be accommodated. Further south the wharves all show signs of renewed life until the mail dock is reached.

There, alas good times cease. Monopoly finds solace in an empty void, and cargoless steamers float hopelessly beside the gloomy wharf. A strange sight in comparison to the business-like aspect of Lombard-street pier, where a rival company, by low rates and fair dealings, has silenced one of the factors that has been chiefly instrumental in killing our shipping trade. MARKET-STREET CUT. The Welfare of That Vicinity is Talked Over.

The Market-street Improvement Club met last night at 2350 Market street, with W. W. Rednall in the chair. The executive committee reported several hundred additional names secured to the petition asking for the change of grade on Market street. The committee expressed itself as confident of securing the necessary majority of frontage interested to have the changes of grade ordered by the Board of Supervisors.

A committee was appointed to ascertain Whether Reservoir street for its full width of eighty feet, from Market to Church, was ever deeded to the city. Forty feet of the street is obstructed by a fence, leaving only forty feet of the roadway open. The economical ideas of the Supervisors who are considering the advisability of shutting off all the gas and electric lights throughout the city for nine nights in each month was condemned as inimical to the best Interests of the city. It was declared the Supervisors should turu elsewhere when endeavoring to retrench than upon the streetlight fund. Instead of shutting off light in the vicinity of Market street west of Octavla, lights should be located on Fourteenth.

Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, between Dolores and Market, on which no streetlights bave ever been placed. E. G. MATHEWS. Death of a Well- Known Pioneer of This Mate.

Edwin Goodrich Mathews died at his home in East Oakland yesterday at the age of 77 years after a long and Illness. He was for many years in the early fifties and sixties one of the old Clay-street grain merchants, of whom so few now remain. Of later years he had been engaged principally in real estate business in East Oakland. He also served several terms as Justice of the Peace there. His hame has been in East Oakland during all of the past thirty-three years.

He was a native of New York, descendant from the early settlers of New England, a sturdy race of ancestors whose ages during eight generations averaged 74 years he was possessed of thelrcharacteristtc traits, energy and enterprise. His was an active career as pioneer iv the far West before the days of gold and made an early voyage around Cape Horn, with his wife, in search of the golden fleece, with full measure of hardship en route. A lifetime churchman he was one of the vestry of Grace Chapel on Powell street and later on of Grace Church at the time it was built on California street in this city. He was also senior warden of the Church of the Advent. East Oakland, for many years.

Haifa century he has been a Mason and au Odd Fellow nearly as long as that order is old in America. His funeral, which takes place to-morrow from his late residence, will be under the direction of the Masonic fraternity. He leaves a widow and two sons. MISSING EMILY NICHOLS. Her Sister Believes She is Safe at a Brother's Home.

The missing girl, Emily who left Lochfoid, San Joaquin County, about two weeks ago and has not since been heard from, does not seem to cause her relatives in this city much alarm. Her sister, Mary Frlck, who resides at 1433 Mission street, told a reporter last night that she believed the girl at her brother' 8. who lives at some i oint north of thiscity, which Mrs. FricK refused to designate. She refused, furthermore, to make any statement about the girl, claiming that too much had already appeared in the papers, and seemingly was not at all solicitous as to the missing one's safety.

The girl did not reside in this city, but was expected here on a sit. Social Life in England. Mrs. Laura Ormsiton Chant will speak this evening at the Second Unitarian Church, on the corner of Twentieth and Capp streets, on "Social Life in England as she has seen it." This will, no doubt, be the last time that Mrs. Chant will speak in this city, as she may never visit San Francisco again, and the public should avail themselves to hear a rare address.
