ALONG SEA and SHORE.
The Steamer San Rafael Badly
Damaged by Collision.
Arrival Of the Australia From Honolulu-A
Rough Time Outside the Heads.
A Hieh-sea Wedding.

The temporary accommodations provided
for the Sausalto ferry-boats on the north
side Of Clay-street pier were knocked about
very badly yesterday, but they suffered less
than the steamer San Rafael, which came
into violent collision with the pier head on
the noon trip There was a very strong
flood tide running at the time, and in at
tempting to make the landing the steamer
was hurled with a crash against the piles.
Five of these were knocked out, and the
sides of the vessel were bulged In for
length of 20 feet or more. The passengers
were thrown from their feet, ana some Of
the more eXcitable aud nervous among them
jumped ashore under the impression that
the steamer was about to sink. The full
force OF the shock was expended on the
port side just below the spring beam, be-
tween the paddle-box and the gangway.
The bartender, Ned Osborne, had very
narrow escape Of his life, for the timbers of
the ship were crushed in like an eggshell,
and the bulkhead on the opposite side OF
the bar was broken. Within the bar
mirror was shattered. In the lavatOrY ad-
joining, the side was entirely forced in, and
all along the line of the spTingbeam was
mass oil broken and shifted frames, show
ing how great had been the shock.
The hole at It's widest portion was fully
eight feet, vertically measured, aud from 20
to % feet long 1t did not extend down 10
the water line, and after the material for re-
pairs had been put on board the San Rafael

ignored bills against Bruner. One admitted
to have been a bogus one was the only one
to find anything on which TO predicate
charge. The counsel then argued from the
law the degree of evidence and the intensity
required TO warrant the holding OF de-
PENDANT. maintaining that Grand Jury
should only find bill when the evidence
unexplained and uncontrolled would war
rant a conviction by petty jury.
Then he took up the duties OF magis-
trate and insisted that the test Of the Grand
Jury should be that for him as regards the
sufficient cause. To do otherwise and hold
the defendant would be TO commit an act OF
folly. The counsel was proceeding TO
demonstrate that the testimony OF Ottnger
regarding the language at the several in tel
views was unsupported, when Judge Coftey
suggested a continuance until the evening
on account OF the oppressive heat OF the
courtroom.
attorney P. Reddy made brilliant
address for the defense. He quoted
numerous authorities during his argument,
one of his chief technical points being that
the code defines the offense charged as be-
ing in relation to obtaining future Influence
on any question 10 be passed upon by the
Legislature. He contended that as the ses
sion had ended when the alleged bride was
offered and the bill had been killed, there
fore, even If the evidence for the prosecu-
tiOn were true, no legal Offense, but only a
moral Cffense had been proven. Howard
MacSherry closed for the prosecution in a
short but comprehensive speech The case
was submitted, and Judge Coffey will ren-
der his decision this morning at 10 o'clock.

Opposition Made 20 Charles L. Fairs
Demand for $500, 600.
Charles L. Fair was before Judge Coffey
yesterday to urge his application Tor dis
tribution to him of the 100000 bequeathed
by his mother, Theresa Fair, TO his brother,
the late James G. Fair Jr. The executors
opposed the application, eontending that it
was obvious that Mrs. Fairs intentions
were to preclude James from receiving his
share until 80 years of age. because having
no business capacity or experience at the
time Of making the will in April, 1883, and
Charles from taking his until he had reached
his thirtieth year. being now q. Under
the circumstances, 1t was argued that it was
hardly likely that their mother should have
desired that Charles should before his
thirtieth year receive James share upon
the latter's death. For the applicant 1t was
maintained that the clause is complete in
Itself, and it is the duty of the court to
comply with the letter of the will, which
expressly bequeathPd the share OF one
brother 20 the survivor upon the death Of
either without limit Of time.
Some testimony was also put in that it
would be impossible at this time to sell
100000 worth of S. +. Railway Of Arizona
and Northern Railway bonds and realize
anything like their value. but this testimony
did not discomfort Charles, and he an
nounced that he was quite willing to accept
the bonds at their appraised value.
The application was submitted on briefs.

THE ARGUMENTS CLOSE.
Judge Coffey VIII Render His Decision
This Morning.


This Morning.
Arguments in the case of Elwood Brnner
were begun yesterday afternoon, and Her
man MaeSherry, on behalf of the Citizens
Defense Association, by whom the arrest OF
Bruuer was procured, opened for the prose
cution.
He took occasion to reply briefly TO the
remarks made by Mr.. Reddy to say that
the members of The association needed no
defense before the court, but he desired to
say for himself that he would prefer to be
doorkeeper for that organization than to sit
at the head OF the table for Sacramento
Grand Jury, the members of which yolun-
tarily came into court and violated their
oaths as grand jurymen. he added that The
men who brought corrupt officials to justice
in the East since the time OF Tweed had
voluntarily associated themselves for that
purpose, just as the members Of the Citl-
Zen's Defense Association had done, and
had received the same kind OF criticism as
had been vouchsafed by Reddy.
The attorneys having agreed to depart
from the usual mode of the prosecution
opening, the defense following and the
prosecution closing, ME- MacSherry re-
viewed the testimony briefly ana com
mented On that of Ottinger to insist that u
was clear upon the subject of defendant
guilty acts and had been sufficiently corrob-
Grated TO satisfy a reasonable person that
Bruner is not an innocent man. Ottlnger
had been an unwilling witness and his tes-
tlmOny had not been assailed. The only
assault on him was as regards his business.
AS to Burners alibi, the counsel said that
the alibi is the most dangerous OF defenses
to set up. 1t is the most successful when
proven, but goodness gracious where doeS
it leave a man when it is not provenP Mr..
Bruner, he maintained, is in this dilemma.
Mr.. Reddy then opened for the defense
