This IS A HORRIBLE STORY.
Alleged Piracy and Murder on
the South Seas.
The Brig Galilee Arrives From Tahiti With
the News-A Captain and Crew Said
to Have Been Poisoned.

The brig Galilee Captain Paulsop, ar
rived yesterday from Tahiti looking taut
and trim. Very few vessels that come into
San Francisco can sail with her, as she is
about as fast as they build them. She made
the round trip in "a days. calling at the
Marquesas.
Some weeks ago the Japan Gazette con-
tanned story of alleged murder and piracy
In the South Seas, said to have occurred
aboard the schooner Undine, owned by Mr..
Crawford Of San Francisco. This story was
con tradicted as the schooner in question
Was wrecked on this coast several wears
ago. On July II the barkentine CITY of
Papeete arrived here from Tahiti, but her
captain denied that any murders had been
committed, ard said the story must have
been exaggerated in the Japan Gazette from
the fact that couple of men ran away with
the schooner Nihaloaiti, about $1,000 cash
and quantity of goods belonging to Tahiti
merchants. The schooner was just ready
to sail. gunboat was sent after them and
they made good their escape.
This seemed the true version of the story
until yesterday, when Captain Paulson of
the Galilee brought news which renders it
probable that the murders alleged were in
reality committed. and that, moreover, the
murderers and pirates have been captured.
The story is as follows:
After the King of Tahiti died his yacht
Nlnaloaiti, was scld, and SIZE was loaded at
TAHITI Tor trading voyage The mate was
a young man named Roedqae. From Ia
hltl the vessel went TO the South Sea Isl
ands. About the time the trading had been
accomplished brother of the mate went
aboard as a passenger and the vessel headed
for Tahiti again. The brothers took the
cook into their confidence, aud one night
some poison was slipped into the food, and
all hands but the brothers and cook were
killed. The bodies were thrown overheard
ana the vessel headed to the southwark
again. One of the islands of the Kingsmill
group was reached, and the cook, who was
a kanaka. got drunk. Then he went back
to the vessel and asked the brothers for
money, which was refused. He said he
would inform the authorities of the murder.
The men laughed at him, but there was a
Spanish man-ef-war in port and half an
hour later the brothers were on board of
her Loaded with chains"
The mate of the Galilee, however says
that tie men who ran away with the
schooner and who are suspected Of the hor-
rible murders were not taken in the Kings
mill group, but outside of Manila. The
story will probably be either authoritatively
verified or c0ntradicted by the next snip ar
irving from Tahiti. at present the reports
are vague and contradictory.
The NnalOaiti Is said to have been built
by Turner OF Benicia, many years ago, for
Captain Higgins of Raatea, and was first
named the Dolly. Size was afterward sold
to King Pomars of Tahiti and he used her
as pleasure yacht After his death she
was sold TO her present owners.

FELL-STREET SEWER SYSTEM.

Meeting OF the Buena Vista Ciub-The
Fight Goes Bravrly On.
The Buena Vista Improvement Club held
its regular meeting in Franks Hall. corner
OF Fillmore and Hermann streets, last
night, President G. E. Dunshee in the chair.
There was large attendance OF members.
John p. Dalton reported that the exeeu-
tive committee had been investigating about
the assessment for the Fell-street sewer
They had found that the law required the
assessment district to be laid out by the City
Engineer. and the assessment based upon
the superficial feet contained in the district,
each lot being assessed pro rata for the con-
structiou Of the sewer. Instead of that be-
ing done the assessment h d been M de per
loot frontage. thus man on one side of
a street may have a lot 25X137 and a man on
the other side a lot 25x120; the latter would
have To pay double what the other paid be-
cause his lot happened to run to a small
street. On Oak street, from Lyon to Cole
they had knocked of 80 feet frontage
from each lot, but had assess ed the half at
the rear. which was IL &c feet wider than the
front half Property-owners instead.
therefore, of being benefited, are made to
pay about 81 more than they are legally
entitled to pay. Therefore the assessment
was Illegal. They had first to go before
the Board of Supervisors and if the board
decided in their favor that would end the
carrying 1t into the courts Attorney Mhoon
would look after their interests till the case
was finally decided. Property-owners
would not be required to contribute more
than 50 per 25-loot lot.
William Wits called attention to de-
fective manhoie at the corner of Waller and
Steiner streets. The top had been knocked
OF by a wagon when 1t was being con-
structed and SONS bricks had been put in
The defect was discovered on Thursday
last by a wagon knocking eff the bricks.
This should be noted as showing SCAMP
work and not according to specifications
delegation from the Upper Eureka
Valley property-Owners was present and
stated that the committee appointed at the
special meeting On Wednesday night had
gone through the district and meeting
had been arranged for tomorrow after
noon at O'Clock, on the corner of Seven
teenth street and CoTbett place. The
majority called upon were favorable to
fighting the assessment. The delegation
asked that committee from the club attend
the meeting tomorrow afternoon.
The chairman appointed Mr. Dalton. MIR.
Huston and Mr. Taft as the committee.
Several members are strong in their de-
nuncation of the disgracefui condition in
which the contractors have left some of the
streets, which resemble miniature sandhills
more than roadways. They think the Board
of Supervisors should take this matter up
and have the streets put in proper condition

When first introduced postage stamps were
sold in solid sheets. or course great
many were wasted in the effort to tear them
apart when there were no perforati0ns. In
deed the loss and Inconvenience was so
great that the Government offered a II beral
reward for patent which would overcome
the difficulty
The first machine submitted was one
which cut the stamps nearly but not en-
tirey apart. While The Postoffice Derart-
ment was considering this machine the idea
oil peiferating the sheets in rows each way
was offered and promptly accepted. Moth
Ing better has ever been sought
There was a time when better paper and
mueilage were used and when the printing

stamps, but since we have learned that a
damp sponge is fully as good as the tongue
In preparing the stamps for adhesion the
quality OF the materials used becomes of
less Importance.
The number Of postage stamps used in a
year IS something enormous. For instance,
the ordinary postal revenue for the year
ending June 80, 1891, exclusive of the money
order business, was S65, 065. 293 ST.. OF this
