His Lawful Wife Declares That He Was
Good Man.
Patrick McFadden. who pleaded guilty of
bigamY, was sentenced to two years I'M
prisonment in San Quentin by Judge
Murphy yeste rday. McFadden left a vile
and FIVE children in Philadelphia two years
ago to come TO this city in the nope of bet
tering their condition. For year he did
well and sent money to his family regularly
Afterward the payments began TO flag, and
soon they ceased altogether and Mrs. Nc
Fadden heard nothing more OF him.
Not to be outdone in a case of this kind,
she came 20 San Francisco, bag and bag
gage, and discovered the Misunderstanding fact
that her recreant spouse had married an
other woman, not even taking the trouble
to secure divorce. She entangled him in
the mesheS of The law in short order At
first he denied his guilt, but later taking
more philosophical view of the case, and
feeling the moose OF evidence tightening
about his neck, lie gave up the fight by nc
knOwledging his guilt. Mrs. McFadden No
! and her babies were in court when the
Judge called the prisoner out 10 pronounce
sentence.
Have you anything to say" asked the
Court as usual, "why sentence should not
be pronounced upon your
Not a word" answered Patrick, briefly.
Thinking perhaps that Mrs. McFadden
might wish to give some good reasons why
sentence should be pronounced, he called
her to the wftness-stand, and a cloud
lowered over the prisoners countenance.
So far. from condemning the recreant
spouse, however, her remarks were more of
plea for mercy.
Eve were married for fifteen years." she
said, and bore him five children. Two
years ago he left me and the young ones in
Philadelphia aud came to this city"
What did he leave you for?" asked the
Court.
10 do for me, yer Honor. And he sup
piled me with money for a whole year until
he met that woman. He was as good a man
as any one could wish for until he met that
woman"

CITY HALL COAL.
The Investigation Is Making Very
Slow Progress.

The investigation of the City Hall coal
supply was resumed by the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors yester-
day, but not completed by any means.
NJ. Kelly. the coal-dpaler who supplied
the hall, was again summoned before the
committee, bat this time came accompanied
by his attorney, Frank McNally.
When Chairman Ebert requested Kelly to
produce his books that the committee might
examine for itself how much Wellington
coal had been supplied the hall in December
McNally said that lie had instructed his
client that the committee bad no right to in
spect books and accounts that would reveal
his private business with other patrons.
Ebert then asked Kelly how much Wei
lington coal he had in his yard in July, and
McNally again objected on the ground that
1t is kelly's private business.
1t was next asked from whom Kelly pur-
chased his coal. Objected to and no an
swer. Ebert remarked that il looked to him
very much as II Kelly, through the advice
of his counsel, did not intend to give any
information. He wasn't altogether sure
that such course would turn out to kelly's
advantage.
McNally replied that Kelly would assist
the investigation all he could without dis
closing his private business, and he then
offered to submit the receipts showing what
coal had been delivered, but the committee
declined them. Kelly insisted that he had
supplied nothing but Wellington coal.
George Frtch. coal-dealer, said that
Wellington coal such rs Kely's contract
called for cost So ton at the ships side,
and that it would be impossible for any
dealer to supply it at SIS IS ton.
G. r. Allen testified that he had supplied
Kelly with 3S7 tons of Wellington coal from
July 1st TO December 3lst.
Arthur NJ. Ebbets cOrrobOrated Fritch's
statement, and this being all the committee
could learn the matter was taken under ad-
ViSement.

SAN PEDRO A HARBOR.
If You Don't Believe 1t Read Judge Ross
Decision.

LII You Don't Believe 1t Read Judge Ross
Decision.
Los Angeles has a harbor now and can
prove it by the records of the United States
court Some time ago British ship hove
In sight off the village of San Pedro, and
having heard that there was harbor in the
nelshborhood signaled for a pilot. One
came aboard in due time and the voyage
proceeded. The captain searched the coast
with his spy-glass and could see no opening,
while the breakers dead ahead were getting
dangerously near. He was Just about to
nave the pilot seized as demented person
or a Wrecker, when the order was given to
heaye to, and the ship was swung at an
elor among the pillows of the Pacific.
ms made the captain mad and he be-
gan swearing at the pilot in good old jack
tar fashion, which left him no room for
doubt as to the precision Of the English
tongue. The pilot explained that he had
reached the harbor and demanded his fees.
The captain treated tine suggestion with
proper ntempt, and informed the pilot that
maritime law required, as precedent con-
dition to fees, Sthat the ship should be
brought 10 a safe anchorage. The quarrel
continued until the pilot brought suit. The
captain defended the case ON the ground
that San Pedro is not harbor. and the suit
occupied the time of United States Judge
Ross for several days. The latter has de-
clded, however, that San Pedro is really
harbor, and now, when there is any doubt
on that point among visitors or sea captains
the decision of the court may be produced
to silence all cavil.-San Diego Sun, Feb 4th.
