Commissioners of Luuacy. The home is
located in Captain Thnmpson's house. on
Central avenue. near High street. and was
Graham. The parties have been behind in
their rent, and recently addressed long
letter to Mayor Sanderson OF San Fran
cisco soliciting him for money. They signed
themselves "Faithists in Jehoya," and
stated that their mission on earth was to
become the saviors OF children. Yesterday
/. L. Borden, Captain ThOmps0n's agent,
in nformed them that they had had the use OF
the house long enough without pay, and
wanted some American dollars. Grill got
into rage when importuned for COIN. and
was seized with religious mania.
AS Mr.. Borden saw that Grill was crazy
he went before Judge Byler and made CON-
plant. The alleged children's home has
boen a failure since II was opened. No
children have been placed there, and about
q month ago Graham disappeared. leaving

SMALL CREDITORS TALK.
They Trouble the Crawford
Estate.
The Delay in Cashing an Alaskan Draft ocoa-
sions a Lot Of Wild-Eyed
Rumors.

The widest rumors have been set afoat
during the past few days regarding the SOL
vency of the Crawford estate.
1t appears that Pope & Coweu of Ko-
diak. Alaska, sent draft payable to A
Crawford to this city some few weeks ago.
The draft was upon the Alaska CONNER
cial Company and the money was to be dis
bursed in the payment of bills owing TO
parties in this city by Pope & CoweIl.
When the draft was presented for pay
ment the Alaska Commercial Company re-
fused TO honor it because the Endorsement
was not satisfactory.
They exacted that some one should be
appointed by the Probate Court TO sign it
for the Crawford estate.
Some delay was occasioned in getting the
necessary order Of court, and during that
period the little creditors made Rome howl.
They imagined that the few hundred dol
lars coming to them were going to wreck
the entire estate and they contemplated all
kinds of legal suits.
The draft was paid yesterday afternoon
and today those who want theirimoney can
get il.
Judge c. W. Cross, the attorney for the
Crawford estate, claims that an inventory of
the assets shows that the estate has S600,000
and over TO its credit
The liabilities are about $500, ,O00. of
which amount more than half is secured by
mortgage and other collateral
The unsecured debts will be paid off as
RAPIDLY as they mature. Mrs. Crawford is
desirOuS OF closing out the entire business.
The creditors committee recently sold
the three-fourths' interest in the Tropic
Bird, owned by the Crawford estate, and
they now offer for sale the ship-chandlery
store at q Market street.
Arrangements are being made to sell out
the stores and leading stations on the South
Sea Islands.
Judge Cross states that in a very few
months the entire Crawford estate will be
transformed into coin, and the vast busi-
ness which was once conducted by the
founder will be broken up piecemeal and go

''She told me the reason that advertise

way she could advertise and get around the

promise that / would come back or write to
her"
While this interview was going on inside
the house, the reporter was keeping guard
on the outside.
After waiting short time his attention
was attracted By seeing man OF middle age
come out of the basement.
he had short chat with the policeman
on the beat. after which he returned to the
house.
So there is evidently man connected
with the premises. probably the woman's
husbau d.
At 122 Post street there seems to be a nest
of the creatures, and some of the parlors are
occupied by two or more girls.
When the reporter called he was received
with open arms. but on his request for mas
sage treatment or bath the girl shrieked
with laughter. and running TO the door of
an adjoining room yelled out 10 COM
paniOn:

jay from Milpitas here wants to take his an-
nual bath"
In fact. the general run of the places
visited seemed TO take IL as a huge joke
that any one really wanted bath.
What can be done to stop this nefarious
traffic?

KEENEY's CHOLERA SCARE.

The Patient Was Only Suffering From

There was great scare at the new City

A cholera case was reported at the Board
of Health.
And then there was excitement right and
left all through the hall as the news spread.
Clerks and deputies, lawyers and Judges.
heads o. departments and janitors, all
blauched when they heard the report of the
advent Of the dreaded scourge.
Health Officer Keeney called for car
riage and was away in the Iwinkling of an
eye.
Everybody waited anxiously for his re-
turn.
1t appeared that man named Koch went
to DIR. j. E. Connolly's Office at 1929 Howard
street and stated.that man named Fred
erick Hobenbein was suffering severely at
his residence, 2l6 Harrison street.
He also said that the patient had received
letter from Hamburg, one of the infected
towns, few days ago.
DIR. Connolly asked to have the symptoms
described, and when he learned them he
said:
MY God 1t is a case OF Asiatc cholera.
Go to the Health Office and report it,"
The man did not do so. and DR.. Connolly
went to the Health Office to-day and re-
ported the case to DR.. Keeney.
The Health Officer ordered a carriage and
he and DR.. Connolly drove rapidly TO the
house where the patient lay.
When DR.. Keeney returned he seemed
cheerful and glad.
II am so happy the awful infliction has
not struck u.s." he said when l heard
that the man had received letter from
Hamburg several days ago, it appeared
quite plausible that he could have been
stricken down with the cholera.

kind of cholera about 1t.

Two Tons of IL to Be sprinkled About
To-Day.
The Board Of Health, Health Officer
Keeney and the inspectors at their dis
posal will begin to-day systematic disin-
fection and fumigation of the city.
Two tons Of chloride of lime have been
purchased for this purpose aud II Is pro-
posed to sprinkle it all in places where 1t
will do the most good.
Four wagons have been procured and the
inspectors, in charge of the health officer,
will begin the spriDkling OF the chloride
this morning.
Before noon the strong smell Of clorine
gas will permeate the atmosphere from the
water front 10 Powell street. purifying the
air and killing all stray germs OF cholera
and other diseases which may be travelling
in search Of victims.
The health officer and his assistants will
first tackle all those streets where dirt and
filth have accumulated.
jackson street, Broadway, Pacific, Mont
gGmery, Clay, Sacramento and all the way
down to the ferries will be sprinkled with
the germ killing lime.
Since the great demand for chloride OF
lime as a disiufeetant the price of the article
has gradually crept up, until now it Is nearly
100 per cent dearer than 1t was few weeks
ago.
When the cholera scare broke out and
people began TO disinfect their houses,
chloride of lime was even then very scarce
in the market.
1t is much scarcer now.
Carbolic acid has also advanced in price,
but not to such an extent as the lime.
Wholesale druggists state that there have
been unusually large demands for chloride
OF lime from the country, and this tended to
make the article still more scarce.

amount at the present time.
