DEATH OF w. S. HOBART.
The Mining Man suceumbs to Heart d

The Mining Man succumbs to Heart Dis
Case-He Leaves $4,000, 900.
W. s. Hobart died at his residence on Van
Ness avenue yesterday afternoon at AS
O'Clock after a lingering illness OF several
years, the immediate cause Of his death be-
ing heart disease.
He was one Of the most prominent Of the
sef-made men Of this State. and was uni
ver5ally beloved and esteemed by the bust
ness men Of tie coast.
W 5. Hobart was born in Rutland, Vt,
in 1910, and came to this coast when but Is
years or age. Like thousands of other
young men his object In emigrating to Cali
fornia was to make fortune 10 the mines,
and, unlike tens If thousands Of men and
boys he succeeded. His first ventures in
mining was on the COmstock, then in its
Infancy as a mining country, and from pros
pectng on his OVID account, uBSueeessfullY,
lie went 10 work pushing au Ore-car IN the
Gould d Curry and later in the ChOllar
mines, the wages at the time fer car-pusEeTs
being 81 per day.
With his savings Mr.. Hobart soon
branched out into the business Of milling
ore, and by his business tact, sagacity aud
foresight was very successful from the
start. Having IN bounded faith in the rich
ness OF the region in which he was located,
Mr.. Hobart began investing the profits de-
rived from his business IN mines and min
ing stock, and as the country about him
was developed his wealth grew until he,
when yet young man, was rated million
aire mine operator.
lie then came to this city and began,
with AlYinZa Hayward as his partner, in
Yestibg wealth in various enterprises, both
in this State and Nevada, among these
being the Virginia AMI Gold Hill Wafer
Company and the Electric Light Company
Of Virginia City. lie also invested heavily
in real estate until at his death he left an
estate valued at upward OF S6,000,000.
which his son Walter and two daughters,
Ella and Alice, who survive him, inherit.
The homestead is an elegant manson on
Van Ness avenue, where he died.
A pioneer, Dir. Hobart. did much for the
less-foTtunate '49ars. He was, in fact, noted
for his generosity on all occasions.
The trOtting ana breeding interests Of the
State viii suffer severely from the death
Of Mir. Hobart. That well-knOwn tTOtting
horseman J. a. Mckerron was seen on the
subject last night aud said: Il fear that
one Of the finest collections Of brood mares
in he State, or for that matter in America.
Will now have TO be split mp owing TO the
death OF Mr. Hobart. Mr.. Walter Hobart
does not seem to care very much for the
tTottiug-hOTSe interests. and there is but
little doubt that the horses on the Hobart
stock farm will be sold. Trotiing hoTsemen
think this is great pity, but II is certain
that II a sale CT the late miliiOnaire's collec-
ton Ct horses be advertised that buyers and
agents from all parts of America will attend
the sale"

HEMMED In BY ICEBERGS.
The PeriIous Position of the Ship HabI-
tant on a Recent Voyage.
New York Press, May 20.

The experience of Captain Potter and his
crew Of the British ship Habitant on the
voyage just ended is one that every man of
the number will long remember. Each one
of them is sailor tried ard true, yet never
had any of them been so near TO death as
when their staneh ship ran into an ieefeld
during the fog week ago, and for forty
eight hours was buried with her living crew,
with twenty-five mammoth icebergs forming
a barrier through which the vessel could
not pass. The ship reached quarantine last
night, and Captain Potter told the story of
his narrow escape.
The Habitant comes from Hull. She made
q prosperous voyage and was off the Banks
when heavy fog set in. There was scarcely
breath of wind blowing. The ship was
moving slowly along. Lookouts we're sta
toned forward TO watch for vessels and ice
bergs. Night came on, throwing out
blanket of darkness, which increased the
thickness Of the fog. ABOUT midnight the
sound of something grating on the side of
the vessel attracted the attention or the
man on watch. The captain was called,
and although all hands peered over the side
ii was impossible 10 see anything, The men
believed 1t 10 be floating ice or an iceberg,
but none suspected the real situation.
The Habitant remained stationary during
the night. When the sun rose the following
morning the sun was quickly dispeled, and
then burst upon the astonished gaze Of the
captain and crew a sight which was so beau
tiful that IL transixed them for the time,
although all knew that it possibly meant
death. On all sides were mountainous lee
bergs, the white crystals glistening in the
sunlight and taking the most beautiful
colors The ship was entirely hemmed in
by field ice, from which lowered % ice
bergs. The ice was closing in tighter and
tighter, squeezing the vessel until il creaked
and groaned with the weight
There appeared TO be no hope of rescue.
For the first sc hours the vessel remained in
her peril0us position. The sailors whistled
for the wind, but it did not come. Then
they prayed. On the morning OF the third
day the ice appeared to be loosening about
the vessel. then there came faint gust Of
wind. which was followed by a light breeze.
The vessel commenced to move, cutting
her way slowly through the ice until the
last of the big bergs was to be passed. 1t
was dead ahead and less than 100 feet away.
The ship refused to answer her helm. She
moved ahead until it looked as if she would
be dashed to pieces.
All hope had been given up when it was
seen that she was just clearing the berg.
The ship passed the berg so closely that IL
was almost possible to touch the frozen
mass
To clear the field ice after this was light
work, and the Habtant made port without
other adventure,

CRAIG'S CLEVERNESS.

His Imitation of Signatures Considered
Wonderfully Perfect.
The arrest OF Assistant Secretary Craig
of the Worlds Fair Commission was the
leading topic of interest at the rooms OF the
commission yesterday. Every one employed
there expressed the greatest establishment
at Craig's downfall, as he was very pOpu-
lar and considered q most exemplary
young man. Before his employment by the
board Craig worked for 10 years for the
firm of Pope & Talbot, but he left there
suddenly but for what reason could not be
learned. He married a Miss Uhlnhorn, q
daughter Of the sister of the late Stephen
FIanEiin. for many years secretary OF the
California Bank. Craig'S wife is niece Of
Gertrude Athert0D, the authoreSs.
The evidence against Craig is most con-
vincing. The Croker bank has also his
confession. Craig's dexterity with the pen
was most astonishing. Andrew j. MOul-
der, who is an expert in chlrography, stated
that so clever were the forgerles that he
would have paid a million dollars on the
checks. The erasureS made by Craig in the
bank-bookS were so finely done that they
could not be noticed unless held up to the
light.
From the dates of the checks it appears
that Craig had not been in the office 4S
hours when he began his forgeries lie is
have sacrificed good career for the sake of
few dollars, as detection in time was
inevitable. His salary was $50 a month.
SO popular was he that he was mentioned
as the successor of Secretary Thompson,
when that gentleman was spoken of as re-
signing soma time ago. His only explanation
when asked about his crime was that he
was cTaZed by the opportunities of dunners.
Craig's place was temporarily filed yes
terday by the appointment of John Mask
ley as assistant secretary.
Commissioners Phelan. Scott and Rose
are now In Chicago. where they will open
the bids for the California Worlds Fair
Building. They will accept them coudi-
tionally for confirmation by the full board,
The other four commissioners will prob
ably hold a meeting to act on the Craig case.
The Crocker- w oolworth Bank. which has
to stand the loss. will press tue case against
him.
Complaints charging Craig with forgery
were filed in the police court yesterday.
BY advice OF j. n. K. Wilson, his counsel,
Craig declines TO make any statement in
regard TO the acc lsation against him.

with 500 in his poeket, which he earned by
working on farm. His brother was then
a well-to-do farmer in his native State. AS
young Sawyer was bidding farewell,
his brother asked him how much money
he had to begin life with in the West.
"Pye got S199 in my pocket" said the
Senator of the future. His brother gave
him dollar to make it an even $500.
A few years ago Senator Sawyer, return
Ing from visit to Europe. stopped ut his
brothers house in New York State to spend
week amid the scenes of his youth. He
noticed cloud on his brothers face. One
evening at supper the Senator casually in
quired into his fortunes, and, before the
conversation closed, developed the fact that
ne was troubled over some outstanding
notes. They were not exactly pressing, but
as thrifty farmer and conSeien tiOus man
generally they troubled him. By adroit
questioning the Senator ascertained the
amount of each note and the name of the
holder. The next morning at breakfast he
said to his brother:
Il want to use your horse and buggy to-
day, to take a drive over the country and
call on some of my friends. But go alone"
The horse and buggy were got ready, and
away went the eccentric old Senator.
They were sitting together that evening
after supper, when out of his inside coat
pocket the Senator drew small package of
papers and handed them TO his brother.
They were the notes representing an ag-
gregate Of $780, He had paid and taken
them up.
His brother was at first dumfounded
Still he was not averse to the Senator's
course. The notes bad been scattered among
three Or four men. In the Senator's hands
they were all together, and then the Senator

that he should prefer him as his creditor
