Marx & Co. Regain Possession of
Their Stolen Furs.
Last November the store of Il. Marx tS
Co., furriers. was entered during the night
by burglars. who carried OFT many valuable
furs and sealskin garments.
Among the missing property was an old
fur coat belonging to a Mrs. Schultz, which
was left at the store TO he meuded. Other
ladies who had lost their property in q
similar manner were satisfied with receiving
one OF u better quality as Il substitute. But
apparently Mrs. Schultz was not, and ac-
cordngly sued the firm for 5000, which, she
claims. is tie value of the garment
The case was heard before Justice Cook,
and the defendants attempted to prove that
Mrs Schul'z's property was not worth $40.
Nevertheless, decision was given in her
favor for $50.
Mr.. Marx then appealed to the Superior
Court, where The case is now pending.
most peculiar coincidence has occurred
In the meanwhile which will undoubtedly
reverse the decision of the lower court
IL tappears that on Thursday afternoon
Sacramento pawnbroker called Lazinsky
called at the store having three old sealskin
coats for sale. Mr.. Marx thought hey
would do for patching and accordingly
bought them for $50, ard on examining
them more closely discovered that they
were the same three which had been stolen
last NNYemher.

Claims to Be Rushing Things.

Chairman Day of the Supervisors Street
Committee stated on Thursday afterno on a
a meeting of the committee that not a brick
had been laid nor a spadeful of earth turned
by the owners of the saltwater tranchls e
notwithstanding the haste displayed by the
Olympic Club 10 secure the franchise, or TO
use Mr. Days exact words, "notwithstand-
ing their hurry to wash themselves in salt
water"
r. d. Perry. secretary of the Olympic Salt
Water Company, was asked yesterday after
noon to state what progress had been made
in pushing forward the enterprise. Mr.
Day." he sand, 'has evidently not kept HIM
self informed concerning our work" AS
he spoke Mr.. Perry took up from his table
bundle of contracts Involving the perform
ance of considerable work. I'VE have al
ready laid" he added, '0ne mile of pipe
from the Olympic Clubhouse on Post street
toward the ocean front The pipe which
Will make another mile is either now on
the ground, or on the wharf or on the
Portland steamer. Here are the freight
bills which | have just paid. We are carry
ing forward the work as fast as we can get
the pipe from the manufacturers in Oregon.
Surely Mr.. Day can expect nothing more.
The contractors for laying the pipe
are making an excellent job of tie Work
intrus!ed 10 them. Tomorrow they will
commence laying the second mile OF the
saltwater main. The pipe line runs up
Post street to Van Ness avenue and then
out Geary street TO the ocean.
The contracts for laying the concrete
foundation for the pumping works have
also been signed, and the work is IN prog
ress at the beach. Tie character of the
soil Is such that an excavation sixteen feet
in depth will be necessary to secure the
proper foundation. An expenditure of
nearly S12.000 will be made before any of
the work shows above ground. The con-
tracts for grading for the reservoir. fo5 the
machinery, boilers and pumping works have
all been let. There are seven miles of pipe
altogether, and l expect 10 see salt wafer
flowing into the olympic ClGb's swimming
bath by the first week in July
The ocean pier viii have to run out
about $50 feet TO get beyond the breakers
and find depth enough for the end OF tho
suction pipe.
I'VE ars making arrangements to pump
100000 gallons OF salt water daily. Over
seventy applications have been fled by
liue for the privilege OF connecting with
the mains. OF course, we are not yet ready
TO act on these applications, and all That
can lie done now is to file them in the order
of their receipt.
You may say" said Secretary Perry,
that the Olympic Salt Water Company is
considering plans for the erection of a
public sw mining bath in the Western Adj
ditl0n-eXGctly where | am n OF at liberty to
state just now. But before very long you

Water Supply.
The Fire Department Facilities Tested
Yesterday by Chief Sullivan and
the Board of Supervisors.

Yesterday saw the completion Of the new
Potrero water supply system.
The 16-inch conduit running from Seventh

Chief Sullivan. representing the Fire

cient protection the district had Mr..
Schussler ordered the men 10 turn on tho

The demonstration Of the effectiveness of

result.
After several more tests OF the water
power and the hydrants, the gentlemen
drove over to holly Park. and the Super
yisors were poiu;ed out the advantages of

the park elevation.

Schussler, 'and the Supervisors would act
