TO LEVEL THE BALL GROUNDS.
A New Power-House and Other Improve
ments for the Park.

A New Power-House and Other Improve
ments for the Park.
Hundreds Of people visited Golden Gate
Park yesterday AFTERNOON.
Near Strawberry Hill the In terest seemed
to be centered in the construction OF the
lake, at which gang OF men were at work.
The second section of the lake, on the north
side, is about completed, and workmen have
commenced the construction of the bridge
which is to span this artificial pond
The Park Commissioners met few days
ago and recommended the payment of q
number of accounts. Since then bids have
been received by them for the construction
of new pOwer-hous at the pumping sta
ton. The bids came in two ways-with
and without q tile roof. The lowest was
$4,000 with slate roof and $1,000 with a
tile roof. The Commissioners are inclined
to accept the bid al S109 800. This figure
does not include the construction OF the
foundation for the engines, as ii was thought
best to have this done by day work and in
sure good job.
The commissioners now have under con-
sderation the leveling of the recreation
grounds. That mart Of the park has be-
come quite popular with ballplayers, and it
is tie desire of the commissioners to give
every encouragement to all manly sports.
Dlnefent athletic organizations have offered

COINCIDENCE IN NAMES.
The Story of Mary McCabe's
Marriages.
4 Veterans Wives Who Both Bore the Same
Names and the Difficulties
That Ensued.

Mrs. Mary MeCabe. of this city. made
application for pension and as q eonse-
quence the officials OF the Pension Office
found themselves in terrible muddle.
They found. as Mrs. McCabe had claimed,
that her son John had been killed at
Chan cellorsville, ana also that her hus band,
a veteran of the late war. had died in san
Francisco. They furthermore made the
alarming discovery that Mrs. Mary McCabe
herself was dead, and buried In Cincin-
natl cemetery. Startled by this official
proof of her non-exlstence, Mrs. MeCabe
gave her case into the hands of Sheppard 81
Orion. the pension agents of this city with
instructions to solve the mystery surround
ing her death and burial.
The history of the case, as 1t afterward
developed, Is amusing aud probably has
but few if any parallels in the recO rds Of
the Pension Office.
A thorough sitting of the evidence reveals
the fact that Mrs. Mary McCabe was mar
ried in Ireland TO James McCabe in 1887,
she being at that time 10 years of age.
10 1888 son was born TO them. upon
whom they bestowed the name of John.
Some years afterwaTd Mrs. McCabe's hus-
band died and in 1874 she came to this coun-
try with her son.
She made her home in Cincinnati and was
there courted and married by q man bear
ing the same name as her former husband,
James McCabe. He was wid0wer. and a
year previous to his remarTiage had buried
his first wife, whose name, peculiar as it
may seem, was also Mary McCabe.
Under this peculiar coincidence In pos
sessing a similarity of names the McCabes
settled down to the hum-drum mon0tony Of
everyday life.
Then the war broke out and James Nc
Cabe, the husband, enlisted in Company G of
the One Hundred and Fifty-eghth Regi-
meut of Infantry Volunteers.
Her son John was struck with the same
martial fervor that had led his stepfather to
rush to the country's defense and he Joined
Company Of the Fifth Regiment Ohio
Volunteers.
At Charlottesville the son was killed.
His body was returned home and buried In
Brooklyn, n. Y. James McCabe. the 'hus-
band and stepfatber. remained in the army
until the close of the war, when he was
honOraDly discharged.
He returned home and shortly afterward
he removed with his wife to this city.
After residing here for number of years
he died, and his widow was thrown upon
her own resources.
Being al the advanced age of 20 years she
began to wonder how she could support
herself any longer, when it occurred to her
that she was entitled to a pension both on
her husband and sons account. After
considerable difficulty in clearing away the
entauglemeDts of her peculiar case q lib
eral Government will now give her aid
sufficient to support her in her declining
years.
