They Are Too High, SO Says the
Board of Trade.
The board of directors Of the San Fran
cisco Board Of Trade held special meeting
yesterday for the purpose of d jscussing GER
tain bills now before the Legislature at
Sacramento.
TIE meeting was presided over by J. P
lie Count
;. Nickelsburg reported that the commit

on the substitute of Senate bills %, 30, 80.
50, "a, 81 50 and 140, which would make the
Sheriff custodian Of insOivents' property
only until such time as the receiver might
be appointed and only to receive fees as
custodian. Under the existing law, be
said, the Sheriff was appointed by the
courts receiver, and on eX-paTte motions
got an order Of court TO sell. The result of
this was that the property was often sold
below lCs value, and after the payment of
fees Of the Sheriff and incidental expenses
nothing was left for creditors. MI Nickels-
burg stated further that Mr.. Sullivan had
gone to Sacramento in the interest Of Sheriff
McDade TO prevent the amendment OF the
law passed two years ago.

tee Of one 10 wait upon Sheriff McDade to
request him TO stop working against the
adoption OF the Senate substitute now be-
fore the Legislature, and 10 remind him Of
his pledgg.

pointed committee TO visit Sacramento in
the interest Of the substitute bill.

Legislature TO support the Senate substitute

Is about forty feet in depth. and as the
caved-off part covered the entire face of
the cut for distance Of fully 100 feet there
was an immense body Of earth and rock
thrown down, which practically closed the
street.
few venturesome drivers OF butcher
carts and mlk-wagons manage 10 pick their
way through the fallen powders, but even
this light traffic is far from being SAFE as
large and threatening cracks yawn in the
face of the cliffs on both sides, and another
and even larger cave than the last is apt TO
occur at any moment.
The cave was caused by the softening OF
the ground by the recent rains, which took
effect the more rapidly owing 10 the shaken
condition of the ground since the cut was
made.
The wall on the north side of the cut Is
comparatively safe, as the formation con-
talms less loose rock and soil. being almost
solid rock.
The accompanying cut shows the block
AIDED portion of Fourteenth street. looking
toward Guerrero.
This Is one Of the recently extended
streets, and the work of making the cut will,
in some measure. have to be repeated, as
hundreds If tons Of dirt will have to be re-
moved before that portion of the street can
be again opened TO travel. and in the ME an
time the street should be closed and notice
put up warning pedestrians away from the

According to statement made by Secre-
tary Petersen OF the Property-Owners' AS
ISOLATION opposed to the extension OF Po-
trero avenue. more than four-6fths Of the
owners have contributed to a fund to fight
the assessment levied.
tine matter is now before Judge CARRIER"
said Secretary Petersen, land should his
decision be in favor of the commission the
matter will be carried to the Supreme
Court. For the purpose OF frightening many
of the timid ones who have no liking for
law, some person has started the story that
If decision IS rendered against the prop
erty-0wners their holdings will be sold inn
mediately ut auction. Due notice will be
given TO all the property-owners concern
ing this matter, and as secretary | shall at
once notify them as to what steps they

AN EX-MAYOR DEAD
The Sudden Taking Off of
Ct. II. SandersOn.
END OF A BUSINESS LIFE,
He Had Been iii but Few Days and
Few Hours Before Death
Was Improving.

Ex-Mayor George 81. Sanderson died at
his residence at 1886 Broadway yesterday
at12:55 p. NJ
Mr.. Sanderson had been i'll for the past
five months. but never during the time had
his Illness been of such nature as TO cause
any serious apprehensi sion TO the members
OF the family, and but few hours previous
to his death his condition was considered
greatly improved. He had just returned
from a trip through Arizona and New
Mexico, and had spent some days In visiting
mis- sen, T. d. SandeTson Of Los Angeles.
He arrived here at S:45 Tuesday morning
and complained Of pain in his side and
chest. From that time on he grew steadily
worse till death suddenly ended his suffer-
fngs at a little before / O'Clock yesterday.
Ii is thought by members Of the family
that the x-Mayor's death was fastened by
grief at the loss Of his grandson. Webster

A Duke Who scorned the Wedding.
London Truth.

Great efforts are being made to induce the
Duke OF Saxe-Coburg- Gotha to be present
at the wedding of Princess Marie Of Edin-
burgh, and the Queen, the Emperor Fred
erick and the King of the Belgans have all
been endeavorng To obtain promise from
his royal Highnes5 that he will attend but
so far their Establishments have been of no
avail.
The Duke Of axe-Coburg- Gotha has not
been on cordial terms with the Duke and
Duchess of Edinburgh for many years past,
but his objection TO meeting the Emperor
William is the real reason OF his reluctance
to attend the Sigmaringen wedding. The
Duke has carefully avoided any intercourse
with the Emperor since the dismissal OF
Prince Bismarck from office.
1t is believed In Germany, however. that
the Duke, who entertains the very highest
opinion Of his own abilities, had expected
20 play leading part in imperial politics
after the death of the Emperor Frederick,
and that he bitterly resented the present
Emperor's Indifference to his advice. The
Dukes wrath was greatly increased when
he found that the King Of Saxony and the
Grand Duke Of Baden were the only royal
personages whom his grandnephew ever
thought OF consulting respecting affairs OF

A Seizure ON the China.

Searcher w. A. Sprague made seizure
OF six fye-tael tins of opium on board Of
the steamship China yesterday. 1t was
found in a most improbable pIace-in the
large tub which holds the deep-sea lead
line, under the fantail in the after part Of
the vessel.
On this vessel comes the next to the larg-
est importation OF opium which has ever
been received in San Francisco. IL consists
Of 300 cases of the drug. The largest amount
was received on the Oceanic about eight
months ago and was over $50 cases.

At o'clock last Sunday morning people
living in the vicinity of Fourteenth and
Dolores streets were startled by hearing
frightful crash, accompanied by rumbling
sound and Immediately followed by slight
tremor of the earth, such as is caused by
slight earthquake. and many were under
the impression that either an earthquake or
an explosion had occurred. Investigation,
however, proved the source of the commo-
tion TO be the caving of the south side Of
the cut made recently for the extension of
Fourteenth street through to Market.
This cut Is through rather high hill. and
