A WIDOWS Woes.
Hrs. O'Brien's HOstelry Among
the Hills Closed.
Touching Scene in the License Collectors
0fice-A Poor Woman Put in Jail
Through Spite.

Mrs. Bridget O'Brien Is poor widow
doing small grocery business away out
on Silver avenue, near old ST. Mary's Col
lege. She Is about 62 or 63 years Of age,
and is dependent on her little store for sup
port When her husb band died some years
ago he left her a small Bit of property
there, and, acting upon the advice OF the
neighbOrs, who were solicitouS for the well
fare of the poor old lady. she raised little
cash and went into business. She got out a
81 license TO conduct grocery business,
aud, ignorant of the laws, she put in lit
tie side bar, which really was her only
source of profit.
She built up little trade, and was thor
oughly content with her lot until she had
the misfortune to trust one OF her own sex
to the amount OF 81 in groceries. She
further had the temerty TO remind her Gus
toner of her Indebtedness, and in return
for her kndnesseS of the past the splteful
woman told the officer on the beat that
Mrs. O'Bren was selling liquor without
license. The officer, in pursuance OF ms
duty, called at the place and bought glass
of beer. After the unfortunate widow had
accepted his nickel he placed her under ar
rest, and IN Monday night the poor widow
for the first time in her life slept in cold
cell in the old City Hall. not being able to
raise money 10 bail herself out
Yesterday afternoon she appeared at the
License Office with S2l rolled up In hand
kerchief, and her condition would have
melted a heart of stone, and through her
tears she told her sad story. She had raised
the money from real estate man by mort
gaging her little piece Of proper!y-all she
had in the woodland License Collector
Lee was touched AT the tale. and lie left the
Office unable TO hide his emotion. Ills
clerks refused to take the old lady's money.
and said they would pay her license them
selves.
mo, mol take itP' she cried in heartrend-
ing tones, pushing the money across the
counter. They'll put me in jail again"
But the license was made out and she was
told it was a present to her. She refused
for long time, and there was not aman pres
eDt who was not moved, and who would not
gladly have paid the necessary S21 rather
than have witnessed such a scene. Mrs.
0'Brien was finally made TO understand
that her money WAS not necessary-that IL
was all a miStake-and that she could sell as
much liquor as she chose with the license.
Then she gathered up the coin and an ex-
preston of joy lighted up her wlthered
cOuntenance. and with many Gods bless
ing on the generous clerks she h0bbled oil
to return to her little hostelry in the hills.

COLUMBUS"
An Operetta Written for a Gradu-
ating Class.
1t Is Produced With Great Success at the
Grand 0pera-House at the Commence
ment Exercises Last Night.

Last night the Grand OpeTa-hOuse was
crowded in every part by an audience that
is only drawn together on extraordinary &C.
caSions. This instance was the initial pro-
duetion Of an operetta entitled Columbus, ="
written by Mrs. n. r Craven and Mr.. Dan
lei O'Conneu, with music by San Fran
ciseo'e principal composer. Professor II. j.
Stewart. The operetta was written and
composed expressly for the graduating
exercises Of the Mission Grammar School.
and produced under the musical direction
of Miss Nellie T. Sullivan. The perform
ance throughout was certainly most credit
able TO all concerned, and too much praise
cannot be given TO those who participated
the chorus being we'll sung. in fact the en-
tire performance brought out In glowing
colors the Intelligence of the rising genera
ton of San Francisco in degree that must
be very gratifying TO the City Fathers and
public generally.
SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS.
Miss Katie Daniels ana Miss Clara Reu-
ter delivered the prologue IN q manner
worthy of the professional stage. Not a
word was missed in any part OF the house,
their delivery and enunclatiOD being as per-
feet as seems possible for young ladies' OF
such tender years. Christopher Columbus
(Miss Alma GrCenwalG) proved, as was an
ticipated. a perfect marvel. though only Is
years Of age. She appeared last night as II
she had passed decade at leaStin the pro-
fession. Her voice is a rich cOntraltO, and
some of Ter tones resemble those OF Miss
Agnes Huntington. She sang the solo,
Farewell. oh Seville" perfectly, and was
aDplauded TO the echo by the vast audience.
The solo In the third act And Shall My
Hopes Be All in Vain," proved as success
full as the previous number Miss Green
wald has a future before her II she adopts
the profession. The entire cast showed
that the greatest care had been taken 10
make the performance a success, aud vic
tory crowned the nigh. as n reward for
arduOus study and pTotTaCted rehearsals.
The liOrettisis and composer may be con-
graduated on their second public success.
The Operetta viii be heard again.

taehed them to the pile-driving engine, soon
had her under Roadway and anchored her
out In the bay near the Webster street
bridge, and left her there for the night To
get the benefit of the tides, my men ar
ranged to drive piles all night About two
hours and half after darkness had set in,
we discovered the barge bearing down on
us with over 90 men aboard, pulling on
hawseTs attached TO my piles, snd presently
she crashed bang into eur piledriver. We
at once drew in the lines, put on tackling,
turned our piledriver on her stern and forced
her out again. Back they came again, max
ing many unsuccessful attempts to fasten
on lines 10 my piles from small
boats. which my men cut as fast
as they were tied under cover of
piles in her way successfully, until after
much row and trouble We had her practi-
cally cOrTalled. We waited until daYbTeak.
when the tide had left the barge high and
dry upon tie mud. when Woolsey, the
leader and foreman of the company, his
men being very tired. hungry and thirsty,
asked me IN the presence OF Cotton Broth
ers and many others if | would let the men
out over my property. Seeing that this was
an acknO wledgment that l was in lawful
possession OF the property, | consented.
Woolsey then served me with a notice
signed by the railroad attorneys and himself,
commanding me to desist from pile-drivDg
and further improving the property, as my
rights were not recognized. | allowed the
men engaged on the barge 10 pass and
repass.
In the forenoon Of Saturday a wrecking
train came up loaded with very heavy iron
cables and tackllng, with a gang Of nearly
100 men, and they sank an anchor near
Harrison street. Thence they dragged the
huge cable through the marsh and made it
fast 10 the capstan on the stern of the
barge. This was done with the evident in
