The Fulton Yields to Outside Advances,
and VIII Go.
Mr.. Spiers of the firm of Hinckley. Spiers
IL Hayes of the Fulton Iron Works, lately
destroyed by fire. stated to CALL reporter
yesterday that the firm had definitely
reached a conclusion to abandon the present
site and erect new works at some point not
yet decided upon. where greater facilities
could be afforded for the extension of the
works
Mr.. Spiers said that several localities had
been considered, all Of which fronted on
the bay, and at each point very liberal con-
cessiOns and in some cases subs idies had
been promised as inducement for the firm
to locate. At Baden fine site was offered,
which combined location on the bay
with plenty Of ground for buildings and
for houses for the workmen, while
from Vallejo, Alameda. Oakland, Tiburon
and Berkeley most liberal offers had been
made to induce the location of the works at
these points. "One of these Offers" said
Mr.. Spiers, will be accepted, but which
one cannot be revealed at this time" II
was learned also that it was the intention
of the company TO greatly extend the works
in the direction of marine construction.
Fulton employed, at the time of its destruc-
ton. about 800 men, who were paid in wages
about $4,000 per month, aud who repre-
sented a permanent population Of not less
than 1900 souls.

The lei Campo Excurslons.

The number of people who visit the FL
Campo picnic grounds ON the Marin County
shore, midway between California City and
San Quentin Point, is the best proof that
can be offered of the popularity of the place
as one to which families can go on Sundays
to spend few hours and enjoy the invlgor-
ating air of the country. Every Sunday the
steamer Ukiah. that makes the run in fifty
minutes, is crowded on each trip with
pleasure-seekers, and one of the delightful
features of these excursions is the absence
of the rough element, which keeps away
because it knows that it will not be toler-
ated on the grounds, and it will not be al
lowed to take pa ssage on the steamer. The
superintendent of these excursions, Colonel
w. ii. Mention, is always at the wharf when
the steamer is receiving passengers and
ready to prevent Objectionable persons from
going on the boat. The Ukiah will, as
usual, on Sunday next make four trips to
the pleasure grounds,

MERELY SUSPICION.
Judgment Reversed in Charles McDevltPs
Estate.

Judgment Reversed in Charles McDevltts
Estate.
A new trial was ordered yesterday by the
Supreme Court in the proceeding which re-
suited in the lower court in the successful
contest Of the 100000 estate of Charles
McDeYitt, who died in February, 1890, at
the age of IS, and who had made will on
September q, 1885, The appeal was from
the order denying new trial and refusing
to dismiss the proceeding on the ground
that the judgment was not entered within
six months after rendition.
McDevitt was an invalid suffering from
internal cancer when he made the will.
From cancer he finally died, though u
seems be was not so Ill as to prevent MS
going out. MeDeyitt was bachelor, and
at one time had in this city three brothers
and n sister. The brothers were all mar
ried. but two had died before Charles, and
their children were the contestants.
James MeDevitt the father of some OF
the contestants, and Charles were at one
time partners in the drawing business, pros
pering in the same and purchasing ranch
in SOn0ma County, which Charles managed,
while James conducted the draying busi-
ness. About 10 years before the testat0Ts
death there were business differences, re-
suting in litigation and dissolution OF the
copartnerShIp.
Prior to that and when visiting the
city. which he did twice or thrice in year
he lived with the brother James. At the
time of the litigation he went to live with
another brother, Andrew, and continued
there until mis- death. After the dissolution.
james became the owner of the ranch and
Charles OF the real estate, which now con-
stitutes the estate. AS heirs were a sister
in Massachusetts, the brother Andrew, two
nephews and nieees children OF the brother
James. and five nephows and nieceS, chill
dren of Michael.
The will gave $1,000 to the sister and all
else to Andrew and the members of bis
family, Intentionally emitting provision for
the children of the dead brothers. The con-
test was on the ground of undue influence
by the uncle, Andrew, but the appellate
court. after a review Of the testimony. was
of the opinion that there is nothing beyond
suspicion shown here. and no proof, and the
presumption of law in the absence Of all
proof in contest is in favor of the will.
Regarding the second point, the appellate
tribunal did not feel inclined to interfere
with the action of the trial court

MONEY FROM THE STATE.
Thirty Thousand Dollars Due the City
for the Care Of Indigents.

Thirty Thousand Dollars Due the City
for the Care Of Indigents.
Through the efforts Of Supervisor Ebert,
chairman of the finance committee, and ex-
pert John RoeSch the general fund Of the
city will be swelled next month by $4,000,
which will be paid into it by the State. This
money has been owing TO the city since 1888,
and represents the States share in the cost
Of main tanning INDECENT persons at the City
and County Hospital, under the law of 1888.
Several weeks ago Supervisor Ellert's atten-
tiOn was directed TO the fact that while the
State had paid its share for the INDECENT
persons IN the Almshouse, those in the hos
pital had been overlooked.
In company with Expert HOesch Mr.
Ebert went to Sacramento and laid the
matter before the Governor. who said that
the city was certainly entitled to its share
OF the State appropriation during the past
nine years for the care OF the indigents az
the hospital. The sum due aggregates about
$4,000. The State Board of Examiners
passed favorably upon the matter, and Mr..
Ebert states that the money will probably
be paid over early in July.

The Draymen's ard Transfers Union
has been awarded Judgment by Judge Hunt
against j. NJ. Downing and his sureties.
E. A. Kolb and William Grutzmacher, for
$500 embezzIed by Downing while treasurer
Of the organization.
One defense was that the action must fail.
because reunion had never been legally
Incorporated. In view, however. OF the
recitals Of the bond, the decision holds that
the defendants are estopped from urging
this objection. The State only can question
the validity of the incorporation.
Furthermore it was c0ntended that the
union was negligent in intrusting money
to Downing. after it became apparent that
he was delinquent in his accounts, but the
evidence did not support this claim. "The
union seemed to have confidence 10 the
integrity Of its treasurer" said the Judge,
"and the circumstance that it was only after
full deliberation and investigation of
Downing's books and accounts that itbecame
convinced of the unpleasant task does not
serve to defeat its right of recovery for the
amount thus unlawfully appropriated"
Interest was allowed also from the time
OF the commencement of the action on Sep
TENDER 80 1891.
