sci was being purposely beaded into it, as
If to thoroughly test her capacity. AZ one
observer ptltased it, Captain Goodall had
fallen in love with the craft aud was un-
willing to let 60. And so, instead OF conf
ing TO an anchor the Monterey went on for
several miles. till abreast of Hunters
Point. when after describing several small
circles to further test her steering gear and
propelers she made wide sweep over 10
the Alameda side.
After a number OF other evolutlons the
vessel drew In toward Mission Rock and
dropped anchor just about 8 p. NJ.
John Scott said TO a reporter that during
the morning trials, which lie witnessed, the
engines worked very smoothly and the two
boilers made plenty of steam. Individually
he was we'll satisfied. but it would BE- for the
Union Iron Works, as a corporation, to ex-
press an official opinion.
1t is expected that the Monterey's official
trial trip Will take place in two or three
days over the same course, from Hunters
Point to Red Rock. The contractors will
probably give her preliminary speeding
test to-day or tomorrow, before handing
her over to the officers of the Government.
To satisfy the conditions of the contract
she must produce 800 horsepower under
forced draught, and the contractors will re-
ceive a premium OF 500 for every horse
power Geyelopt in excess Of that number.
The trial board will consist of Rear-Ad-
miral George Brown, Chief Engineer G. f.
Kutz Captain Louis Kempff. Chief En-
glneer G. j. Burnap, Lieutenant Com
mander Z. c. Pendleton, Leutenants j. w.
Carlin and r. S. Nicholson. and Naval Con-
structor d. w. Taylor. The board of
engineers will consist Of Chisf Engineer
George +. KutZ, Chief Engineer James
Trilley and Chief Engineer George j. Bur
nap. assisted by eight other subordinate
naval engineers.
During the morning trials the Monterey
was swung for the adjustment of her COM
passes, and the gear for raising and lower
ing the anchor was thoroughly tested. THIS
was very important matter, as the Monte
rey carries very long and a very heavy
chain, ard 1t is part of her fighting tactics
to shift her anchorage frequently and
swiftly.
The general trial board of the navy, ap-
pointed by the Secretary to determine the
character and workmanship of the new
vessel, decides to waive the privilege Of
boarding her and remain at home. They
spent the entire day in the naval c0nstrue-
tors Office. gathering together all the off,
cial correspondence and drawings relating

"Six hundred dollars for good. hard

"Come along aud I'll pay you $500 to-day

This was the concise conversation held
between Plasterer j. Wyatt and Joseph
Norris, new contractor in town, who has
been erecting the buildings for Mr.. Davis
on Stockton street. near California, which
are not yet completed.
Wyatt got his $500. and is now looking
for the remainder. he says.
The scene was witnessed by number of
mechanics who we're working on the build
ings. and is also acknowledged by Mr..
Wyatt himself.
This was the beginning Of the cause of
commotion that was occasioned In front of
the Builders Exchange on Montgomery
street on Saturday afternoon.
About thirty mechanics, most of whom
we're carpenters, and their wives were wait
ing for money that had been earned and
was due.
They wanted Mr. Norris, because they
knew from Mr.. Davis himself that he had
paid him $1,000 on the day mentioned.
They waited in vain, and then many Of
them went TO the house of Mr.. Norris at
$40 San Jose avenue.

SMALLPOX SPREADING.
Another Case Found in a Cheap Lodg-
ing-i1ouse Yesterday.


Another case of smallpox was discovered
in south of Market-street lodging-house
yesterday by City Physician Brown. The
patient was Mrs. Margaret Healy, who lives
at 111k Minna street. near Second. with her
family, and the physician pronunced it
violent case OF variola.
Ever since the discovery OF q severe case
Of smallpox In a clearinghouse at 33l Turk
street, week ago, the health officials have
taken all possible precautions TO prevent the
spread Of the dread disease. The patient. a
man, was too i'll to be removed, and the
house was fumigated and auaran tined.
Since that time the entire force of health
officials have been carefully inspecting ali
the cheap lodging houses in the more thickly
populated district south OF Market street
Yesterday afternoon City Physician
Brown was informed that case of small
pox could be found in lodging-ho house at
1llR Minna street and went to investigate
the case.
The patient proved to be Mrs Margaret
Healy, aged so years. and the wife of John
Healy, a slevedore employed on the water
front.
The physician at once pronounced II a
violent case of yariola and notified Health
Officer Keeney OF the facts.
From neighbGrs 1t was learned that Healy
had been In this city fox some time, but that
the woman arrived from Stockton about
month ago Win nerLWO children, 10 Join her
husband, since which time they have been
living at their present abode.
Last Tuesday she left the house to make
some purchases but was suddenly taken i'll
in the street. She was carried to her home
by some friends and medical aid was sum-
moned.
The attending physician diagnosed the
case incorrectly and pronounced her as suf-
fering from a slight rash, which would soon
pass away.
1u consequence the woman was allowed
to remain in her rooms without proper
medical treatment or attendance until dis
covered yesterday
Last night Health Officer Keeney and In
spectOrs Mills and koegel visited the prem
ises and removed the woman to the new
smallpox ward Of the City and County Hos
piial. which She was the first patient to
enter.
The house In which the sick woman was
found is in one Of the most thickly popu-
lated districts in the city. and the health
officers took every precaution to prevent the
disease from spreading.
The building contains tweniy-three
rooms, all OF which we're occupied, and each
of which was thoroughly fumgated, TO-
gether with the effects of their occupants
Six adults and Une child were also vaccin-
ated, the other ToOmers being found in
healthy condition.
The house was not quarantined, as no
danger from contagion is anticipated.

Works had followed the common custom In
such cases In restricting the visiting list TO
the smallest possible number.
Among those on board the Monterey
when the start was made were: Captain
Charles Minor Goodall, commanding :;
Henry T. Scott, John Scott. George Dickie,
T. T. Morris. j. OBJ. Gum and w. R.
Eckert. all of the iron works, and Lieuten-
ants Douglass, Turner and Croker Of the
Naval Battalion.
The patience OF the crowd on the wharves
was now doomed to sore trial. They had
expected 10 see the Monterey, after one brief
moment OF preparation, headed away for
Red Rock, and flying past the city front at
a 16-knOt pace. They had cherished visions
of a spinning speck, surrounded with a
cloud of foam and spray. moving SO swiftly
past Goat Island that the eye scarce could
follow Ii.
What actually happened was this:
The Monterey slowly steamed out 70 q
point about mile east of the Pacific Mail
dock, and there came to a dead stop. Dur
ing this time the anchor was let 20, raised,
dropped. raised again and so on for half an
hour, when the craft was headed for the
Alameda side. There she lay and drifted
for an hour more, occasionally describing
circles. to test her steering gear and the
action Of the propellers. Then she steamed
with the same provoking slowness over to
the Union Iron Works, and to the crowds
on the wharves north and west OF the fer
Ties she was lost TO view.
She's gone back 10 the works." said one.
Something wrong with the machinery"
said another.
The ebb tide was now running at full
force and nearly all Of the crowd left the
wbarves convinced at the show was over
for tue day
They were wrong, however The Mon
terey had merely gone back 10 the works to
land few of the party on board and take
on others Then she steamed away nearly
to Hunters Point, turned slowly around, and
at p. NJ. headed away for Red Rock, fifteen
miles distant.
The course was clear and the speed of the
craft steadily Increased. But she was not
on speed trial and only two boilers Of the
six were in use The ebb tide helped the
Monterey along famously and she was soon
abreast of the ferry.
By this time fresh crowd had rushed to

The episcopal address presented to the

general review of the condition, atti-

Methodist Episcopal church. The address
just presented by the bishops reviews the
work of the four years which have passed
since the last general conference. During
this time the bishops have made some
50 900 assignments. The address con-
graduates the conference that no Sc

no occasion there for suppression or revis-

are prosperous. There are now y, 1875
churches-an increase in four years of

BUILDING TWO MORE TRACKS.
Great Northern Will Soon Have Four
Tracks on the Water Front.

Tracks on the Water Front.
The Great Northern railroad yesterday
morning began driving piles on the west
side of its present trestie on the water
front. for the purpose of laying two more
tracks. A pile driver went to work near
the foot of Columbia street and another
near the foot of University street. The
former is driving piles outward and will
some reach the point where the Puget
Sound and Alaska Steamship Company
was driving piles for its spur when the
restraining order stopped it. At the same
time, the second track is being extended
southwark towards Madison street until
It reaches the point where the Lake Shore
track occupies the ground.
When the present extensions are COM
pleted the Great Northern will have four
tracks all along the water front as far
south as Yesler avenue.
The statement that the Lake Shore road
extended its track further northward
from the Madison street bunkers on the
ground claimed by the Great Northern as
its right-ot-way, was based on mislnfor-
nation. The Great Northern Is laying
rails on the trestle which was
already built, but is not extending its
trestle at that point, and the Lake Shore
has not done anything within the last few
days but hold its ground, Both parties
have agreed to defer action until the ar

SIDNEY DILLON Is DEAD.
The Principal Constructor Of the Union
Pacific Railroad.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Sidney Dillon died
at IL O'Clock this morning.
[Sidney Dillon has long been one Of the prin-
cipal figures among the railroad men and finan-
ciers of America. He made the nucleus of
his fortune out of the construction of the
Union Pacific railroad of which he
was the principal contractor. Through
his contract he secured q large block
of the bonds and stock OF the road and gradual
ly increased his holdings until he and his
friends gained control of its management and
he became its president. He held this office for
many years until at last in 1884 the Boston
stockholders secured the control and elected
Charles Francis Adams president. The Adams
management came to an end in 1891,
when Jay Gould and his friends re-
elected Mr.. Dillon. His health failing,
he retired at the last annual meeting He was
the author of pamphlet entitled, "The Story Of
the Pacific Railroads. Another OF Mr.. Dillon's
triumphs in railroad construction was the Dor
ing of the tunnel for the New York Central road
at the point where it enters New York city. 1t
required that this work should be aecomp-
lished without interfering with the running
of trains and he did it to the complete satisfac-
ton of old Commodore Vanderbilt. But it was
probably more in stock speculation than rail-
road building that Mr.. Dillon made his mil
lions. He has long been intimately as
ISOLATED with Jay Gould and Russell
Sage on Wall street, and many a man has
had cause to acknowledge defeat in stock
exchange encounter with this famous trio. Mr..
Dillon twice visited this city. once just before
the Adams administration of the Union Pacific,
when the whole population, hoping that his
road would give the place rail connection with
the outside world, turned out to welcome him,
and again last summer, when he made his
last official tour as president. He was
a striking figure, tall and spare, with keen blue
eyes. white hair aud whiskers aud a peculiar
wilderness of skin. Mr.. Dillon was between rs
and so years old and leaves two daughters, Mrs
Wyckoff and Mrs. Ripley. His wife died several
years ago and his devotion to her was SO great
that his intimate friends say that he never re-
covered from the loss.
