SAN Francisco, June 30--The city hall
commissioners held meeting today to re-
ceive the report of Expert Wright upon the
condition of the walls which were recently
discovered to be stuffed. The report states
that six large piers of the Larkin street wing
which were condemned have been taken
down and rebuilt. Wright stated that
about thirty additional openings had been
made in the walls of this wing in places
pointed out by Hanks, but with the excep-
ton of two of them in which were discov-
cred small quantity of loose material
the work was found to be generally good.
He considered that the contractors could
not have saved 500 from all the filings
so far found. He did not think one man
could have done the crooked work alone.

STORY OF A KNIFE.
How Colonel Blodgett's Life Was Saved
on the Battle Field.

HOW Colonel BlodgettS Life was saved
on the Battle Field.
Colonel Steigers, private secretary to
Postmaster ]. b. Harlow, has a knife
that he prizes almost as dearly as life,
on account of a very interesting war
reminiscence connected with it. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Steigers' story, at one
time during the war he and Mr.. Wells
II. Blodgett were members of General
L. b. Browns staff. At the time he
speaks of they were located at Spring
field, Mo-, the basis of supplies for the
army. On the morning of the Sth of
January, 1868, they received word that
General Marmaduke was marching to-
ward them with six thousand men. The
staff officers were sent over the field to
choose positions for the troops. Colonel
Steigers and Blodgett went together and
were some time away. The enemy was
not far distant when they were ready to
return, and while returning at lively
gallOp one of the stirrup-straps in Col
onel Blodgett's saddle burst. The Col
onel refined up his steed and called to
Colonel Steigers to loan him knife.
Colonel Steigers handed him common
horn-handled carver and rode on. When
Colonel Blodgett fixed his stirrup-strap
he put the knife, in his pants pocket,
mounted his steed and followed. The
battle began before they expected it,
and there was some hard fighting all
day. During the affray ball struck
Colonel Blodgett in the right groin and
lifted him off the horse. When he re-
covered sufficiently to make an exami-
ton he was surprised to find that the
ball had not punctured the flesh, but had
glanced off and out through the left side
of his pants, only tearing the skin in its
passage. He was fearfully sore, how
ever, and made his way to the surgeon,
who dressed the wound, and the Colonel
returned to the fight II was not until
late that night, after the fight, that he
learned what saved his life. He felt
something awkward in his boot, and on
stripping it off he found a long, thin
piece of brass fearfully mangled.
what is this?" he asked of Colonel
Steigers, who joined him again after the
fight.
4.hey both examined the bit of brass
very critically for several minutes, not
knowing what to make of it, when the
thought occurred to Colonel Stcigers
that he had loaned Blodgett his knife.
''Where is my knife. Blodgett?" he
asked.
"By Jove, this must be what IS left OF
it." Blodgett replied, gazing critically
on the little piece of brass lie then re-
membered having vat 80 S-.:-- 80 -
right pants pocket, and concluded that
it had warded off the force of the bullet
that came so near calling him TO his
Maker. The knife was not referred to
again for years In fact the men were
separated for many years after. Colonel

'It was at the battle of Chantilly, in

had my gun drought it and was doing
what service l could. saw the splinter
fly from piece of that fence under the
impetus of ball from the enemy. In
the lightning flash of the flying wood I
seemed to find time to dodge, and there
was quick pain, like the soaring of a
hot iron, and the splinter was through
my hat-band and along my scalp, pence

Blodgett, however remembered the
"Reminiscences, and while in Europe last
year he met a comrade there who re-
called to him the facts connected with
the knife. and he secured the most val
liable one he could find. Returning to
St Louis on the 11th day of January,
1889. he called on Colonel Steigers. and,
after saluting him, said: Colonel
Steigers, do you remember loaning me
knife some years ago?"
He did. of course, and then Colonel
Blodgett drew the one he purchased in
Sheffield and presented it to Colonel
Steigers in place of the one he had bor-
rowed twenty-six years before. Colonel
Steigers had the dates, January s. 1863,
January IL, 1889, inscribed on the brass
plate on one side. and prizes it very
highly.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

Horace Greeley. The Captain had risen
from the ranks during the civil war; he
was a devout Catholic, military marti-
net and rigid temperance man; but he
was weak in his spelling. Some drunk
enness occurring in the regiment, the
Captain ordered the grog stopped. OF
course this created discomfort among
the men, and finally one of them ap-
pealed for permission to buy liquor on
the ground of illness.
''Is it sick We are?" said tho Captain,
suspiciously. ''Sure, whusky'll only

ga little, is it?" said the Captain.
'Well, We shall have a little" and he
accordingly wrote this order:
'Give Private Jones of Company A

The sutlcr looked at the order and
then at the soldier. ''What have you
got to hold your gallon?" said he. Pri-

That evening the tents OF Company A
were the scene of wild hilarity and next
morning Captain O'Flaherty was in
great rage about additional cases of
drunkenness. FuriOusly he rushed to
