height. The basement will be used for the
present as a pIayroom, but is so arranged
that three elassrOoms can be formed III 1t
at li.tle expense.
The first floor contains three classrooms,
each 26x32 feet, with cloakraems con-
nected, two MUSHROOMS and one office,
with toilet. The second floor contains
three classronms, each 26x32 feet. also
with hat and cloak rooms. The class
rooms on the upper floor are connected
by sliding doors. so that when opened they
will form an assembly-roOm 80 feet wide
by so feet long.
A very noticeable feature is the width
| of the halls. The stairs are a system OF
platforms with low risers and wide
| treads. Washbowls are placed in the
| cloakrooms and office and drinking foun-
taius on each floor. Each classroom is
lighted by a cluster of FIVE windows
placed in the west side of the building, SO
as to admit the light on the west side OF
the pupil, thus avoiding system OF cross
lights so injurious TO the eyes of scholars.
The system of ingress and egress is ex-
eellent, viz. on the front. north and south
sides There are also two flights from the
| first story to the basement. The building
is sheathed and its floors are deafened, SO
| that it will compare with the best of th {
modern structures.
1t was hoped to have bad the building
dedicated last Sunday, which was the one
hundred and seventeenth anniversary OF
the founding of the Mission Dolores. but
Archbishop Riordan's absence prevented.
The attendance at the Mission Dolores
school at present is about $50, of whom
about 200 are girls.

THE ESTES CASE.
The Doctors Application for Divorce
Denied.

Superior Judge Hebbard delivered a
stirring opinion yesterday in the divorce
case of Estes VS.. Estes.
DR.. NJ. B. Estes was suing his wife.
Myra Z. Estes, for divorce on the ground
of wilful desertion. The wife denied the
charge and filed cross-complaint charg-
ing her husband with extreme cruelty and
iEfdelity. Witnesses were brought to
connect the doctors name with that OF a
Mrs. West of Oakland.
One of these witnesses was George W.
Howe, who spoke of having accidentally
discovered the improper relations existing
between DR.. Estes and Mrs. West. Howe
was crosS-examined by Attorney ID. T..
Riordan. who asked some very unpleasant
questions concerning certain proceedings
for disbarment against Howe now pending
peal from the court below.
Howe got very indignant at these ques-
tions and spraDg up from the witness
stand In threatening manner. 81 will
thank you, Mr.. Riordan. said he. Ito con-
fue your questions to the matter at issue"
And | will thank you," interrupted the
Judge, ITO confine yourself to your chair"
Howe subsidized.
Finally the Judge. having heard all the
testimony in the case. proceeded forthwith
| TO pass judgment in favor Of defend ant.
He said that not only would DR.. Estes ap-
| plica:ion bo denied, but that he would
make an order allowing the wife $500 coun-
sci fees. Judge Hebbard further intim ated
that if Mrs Estes, in addition TO filing a
cross-comDlaint, had asked for divorce
on the grounds contained therein he would
have granted her application without de-
Law.

AZALIA AROUSED.

Mrs. Osgood Accuses rlr. and rlrs.
HotaIing and James w. Merrill
of Conspiracy.

What promises to be sensational legal
fight was set going yesterday, when
Stearns aud Elliott, the attorneys for Mrs.
Azalia A. Osgood, the defendant in an
action entitled Jacob Meyer against A
A. Osgood, filed her verified answer with
the clerk.
The complaint was innocent enough
Thsrein the plaintiff alleged lease, a
failure to pay rent. demand. and asked
the court to oust the defendant.
The defendant alleges in her answer that
there was a conspiracy TO take advantage
of her in the absence of the real owner o1
the property, to freeze her out as it were
and get her lease. which she claims il
valuable, from her. In the allegation o1
conspracylshe accuses Mrs. l.. j. Hotaling
and her hus band, A. p. H0taliDg, and the
welI-known real-estate agent, James w
Merrill.
She admits the lease and then for de-
fense alleges. "That on the 18th day ol
January, 1891. at the same time the lease
was executed, as a part OF the cOnsid
Grafton for the lease Lavina j. Hotal-
ing agreed in writing to guarantee and be
responsible for the rent. and under said
guarantee she is 10 possession" Mrs
Mrs. Hotaling received in consideration
therefor.
The premises are situated at 335 Nc
Allister street and were once used as a
lodging-house with bakery and cOnfec-
tionery attachment.
The defendant further alleges that sub
sequent to June, 1893, the rent had been
fully paid by Mrs. Hotaling to the plaintiff
and that the plaintiff knows nothing " hat
ever about and has not authorized or con-
sented 10 the commencement or prosecu-
tion Of this action. The plaintiff, Jacob
Meyer, is In tho East and James w. Mer-
rill brought the action on his behalf. claim
ing to be his agent, but Mrs. Osgood de-
nes that Merrill ever had any such author
lty. Tue defendant also alleges that Mer-
rill is the agentfor the Hotalngs, and that
about March l, 1891, when the plant till,
Meyer, went East he left the premises In
the hands Of John Semer as his agent, and
that when last April Seimer followed in
the footsteps of his principal and departed
for the effete East he appointed James w.
Merrill as his successor.
The defendant claims that she has ex-
pended S4400 since she has been In posses
sion of the property for repairs and i'm
provements thereon and never failed TO
nav her rent until Mr.. Merrill proceeded
TO oust her, which was Immediately after
he got the agency.
1t is further alleged that Mr.. and Mrs.
Hotaling and MIR. Merrill shave conspired
together, and, intending to surrogate Mrs.
have, in bringing this action, unlawfully
and illegally attempted TO oust her by
taking advantage of the absence Of the
plaintiff from the State"
The premises in dispute are known as

ARMED WITH A SICKLE.
William CuIligan Chases a Young
Man Six Blocks.

WAN DIX DiOCkSs
p. E. Bertrande, young man living at
511 Webster street. appeared in Police
Court 3 yesterday and swOre out warrant
for the arrest OF William Culligan. gar
dener, 1322h Natoma street. on charge of
exhibiting deadly weapon in rude and
threatening manner.
Bertrande said he was standing on the
corner of Haight and Pierce street about l
o'clock yesterday afternoon. waiting for a
friend to go to Golden Gate Park. He was
leaning on the fence surrounding the gar
den Of the house on the corner where he
was Standing, and saw man with sickle
in his hand arguing with three other men,
whom he afterward ascertained were de-
manding their wages from the man with
the sickle.
All of sudden the man with the sickle
jumped over the fence and with yell Of
"Are you in this trouble ?" raised the
sickle as IL to strike him. Bertrande took
to his heels. hotly pursued by the man
with the sickle, and the pursuit was hotly
kept no for SIX blocks. Bertrande finally
ran across vacant lot. jumped over a
fence and succeeded in hiding himself from
his bloodthrsty pursuer.
After the coast was clear he came from
his hiding-rlace and after finding out that
the man with the sickle was Culligan he
jumped on a car and went to the Police
Court. He said he was scared to death
and thought every moment the sick le
would descend upon him and cut him to
pieces.

A CHINESE DELICACY.
Two Bears Penned for Slaughter in
Chinatown.

Two bears feuncO lOT SiduxHlCE Ill
Chinatown.
The mouths OF the Chinese in the neigh
borhood of Washington and Dupont
streets were watering yesterday. and their
eyes were visibly breaking the tenth COM
mandment against c0veting.
AS the pig-tailed pagans passed the door
of Tuck Hing & Co., TAG Washington
street, they seemed to be irresistibly at
tracted toward a long, hutch-like pen
standing beneath the display of beef and
mutton Joints. The pen was secluded by
shutters leaning against il. but for the
elect tall Mongolian stood hard by, and,
with an air of stupsndOus condescension,
would remove one shutter little space
and allow the curious just glimpse Of the
glorious treasures within.
The treasures consisted OF two small
bears, purchased from chicken-dealers on
Front street, who had received them from
Mendocino County.
"How muchee?" was asked.
"Twently-f' dollar one EACH"
TOO muchee money. Give you fifteen.
1akee?"
"Ta! twenty-f'. You make him fat you
sell him two bitty pound"
You like eat bear?"
"Alasame eat dog. More better"
1t seems that the Chinese prefer bear
meat to dog meat, and are willing to pay
twenty-five cents pound for 1t at retail.
They are very fond of getting the bears
young and fattening them up for Christ
mas-tlde or some festival corresponding.
chronolOgically, to that occidental feast.
Curious enough, they seem to have no
word in their own language to indicate
the ursine ouadruped, and therefore they
use the American "bear' with singular
cleaEnoSS of enunciatiOD.

MISSION DOLORES.
A New Parochial School
Completed.
II Will Be Dedicated Within a Few
Days and Will Then Be
Opened.

A school building intended for the use
of the pupils of the Mission Dolores parish
has just been completed at cost of $4,000.
and will be ready for occupancy as soon as
it Is dedicated by Archbishop Riordan,
which will be within a few days.
1t is located on Sixteenth street, be-
tween Dolores and Church, and is im-
mediately in the rear of the old Mission
church.
For some time the children of the parish
have been attending school in some of the
rooms of the old adobe building. but the
increase in the number of families in the
neghborhood has made the new structure
an imperative necessity.
The style OF architecture of the building
is what is termed the Colonial" and il has
been built from the plans of Architect T.
j. Welsh. The size is sixty feet by eighty
feet, and it is two stories and basement in
