Property Holders Are in Favor of a

The people out in the Richmond District
are weary of coaxing the Geary-street Rail-
road to discontinue its steam-dummy line
from Central avenue to the park and have
decided to adopt heroic measures to bring
about the desired change. Fur the past
ten years this company has promised at
regular ard convenient intervals to put in a
cable extension, and on the strength of this
promise many improvements have teen
made.
The matter was discussed at length at the
meeting last evening of the Point Lobos
Club, the members being of unanimous
opinion that the present system is a con-
slant menace to life and property and
should be abolished. A resolution was
accor dinghy adopted TO the effect that a
petition be pr esented to the Board of
Supervisors asking that body to ryscfnd
the order by which the Southern Pacific
Company is allowed to operate steam line
on Point Lobos avenue, there being no
stipulated time in the franchise.
The + xecutive Committee was instructed
to make arrangements for a nlass-meeting
of property holders, to be held at B'nai

DAVIS AND LINCOLN.


General Harris Denies "A Recent News
paper Story.
General Nathaniel Harris of Mississippi,
who commanded the famous fighting brigade
in the Army of Northern Virginia under
General Robert L. Lee, is at the Palace
He was the lifelong personal and political
friend of Jefferson Davis and is indignant
over the telegraph reports printed Monday
to the effect that the late President of the
Southern Confederacy was interested in and
encouraged the assassination Of President
Lincoln.
"Mr. Davis" said General Harris last
night, twas the soul of honor and was tue
last man in the world to stoop to murder.
Many a time | have heard him deplore the
killing Of Lincoln, and he regretted it as
keenly as any man in the South. He had the
greatest respect for Mr.. Lin, oln, and always
spoke of him in terms of highest praise.
1t is strange that the accusation was not
made until after MIR. Davis death, and that
fact alone ought 10 stamp ii as an untruth.
= The whole truth is that Mr. Davis was
made the scapegoat OF the entire war, and
he has been abused and mGlgned as no man
ever was. While Lee and jackson and
other of thu military leaders were forgiven,
Davis never was, and he has been misrepre-
scented for twenty-five years most persist
emily. 1t is safe 10 say that the story Just
started is utterly without foundation"

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
King of Williams Early Letters
From California.

The Historical Society was very pleas
antly entertained last evening by Charles
J. King of William, son of James KING OF
William, whose fame is written in many Of
the most exciting and imperishable chapters
of early San Francisco history. Mr.. Kings
reading consisted entirely of letters written
by his father to wife, parents and other
relatives in the East descriptive of his voy-
age to San Francisco in 1S4S, and of the
condition of affairs in this city at that time.
The history of San Francisco in those ex-
citing times and of James King of William
and the memorable events that led up to his
assassination in the Vigilante days OF 1856
is more or less familiar TO every San Fran
ciscan. 1t was not this that Mr.. King re-
cited it was the personal "reminiscences OF
his father, told in his own letters, and they
were an agreeable variation from the hard,
stern lines of history, because OF their fresh
ness and fidelity to detail.
As it afterward developed. much to the
surprise of James King of Williams
friends, when he established the Evening
Bulletin the use OF the pen in vivid and
forcible manner was by no means unknown
to him, and the strongest possible evidence
of it is in these letters. His description of
the customs and conditions was intensely
interesting.
The fabulously high prices charged for
everything most needful and the rldlcu-
lousy low prices of really fine things that
were not needful were noted with rare in
tereSt. For instance, a pair of coarse cow
hide boots that would stand much wear and
tear would command two or three times as
much as really fine Dalr. The same was
true in other lines Of clothing. A suit OF
hard firm goods, cheap in quality and tex
ture but strong enough to hang bull,
would cost from $50 to 500, while fine linen
shirts sold for 80 cents apiece.
Tue Same then as now, only tn a much
greater degree and the proportions more
evenly divided, the city's population COM
prised every nationality under the sun, or
nearly so.
The house built by Mr.. King Of William
for his family, which reached here in May,
tween Chestnut aud Lombard, and could be
easily recognized by his description OF it IN
one OF the letters read.
After he failed in the banking business
and established the Bulletin lie moved into
what was then known as Sedan Valley, now
about Market aud Sixth streets IL was a
very dismal and lonesome place and fears
were entertained by his friends that the
threats uf assassination would be carried
out. SO they kept quite vigil over the
place, and IT was not an uncommon thing
for them to ring his door bell at or o'clock
in the morning to learn whether all was
right.
His family arrived in San Francisco on
Tuesday, MAY IA, 1851, about l O'Clock in the
afternoon, aud on Tuesday, May H. 1856,
about o'clock in the afternoon, exactly
five years later, lie received the assassiu's
bullet, fired by James p. Casey. The letters
were contributed to the records OF the his
tOrcal society.
The morning call., 1891-09-09

1t was nearly o'clock when the van
reached the entrance gates to the narrow
gauge ferry and began to slowly file in. So
dense was the crowd at this point that over
an hour was consumed in getting on board
the boats. Not only We're the several
thousands of marchers all pressing forward
at once, but there were hundreds of their
friends and hundreds of ladies all equally
anxious to get on board and swell the crowd
en- route for Santa Cruz.
At another part of the water front a SIM
liar scene, but on a smaller scale, was being
enacted. 1t was at the landing place of
the tug-boat Relief at the Oceanic dock,
where Golden Gate Parlor and its friends
were embracing. They were not so handi-
capped by the crowd as at the foot of Mar
ket street, and this parlor got off in pretty
tidy shape before o'clock and with hearty
good-by from those on shore and sturdy
