the fierce forefront of battle, wept like

tain's hand, and placing his left arm
about his neck kissed him on the cheek.
Then followed the other gray and griz.
zled veterans, whose eight years strug-
gle for independence had ended in tri-
umph and direst poverty. In little
while the farewell ended, as all things
must end in this world of ours, and
Washington prepared to depart. A boat
awaited him at Whitehall street, and he
was bound for Philadelphia to deliver
10 congress the commission they had
given him at the beginning Of the strug-
gle. He paused, however, at the door
for moment and desired Samuel
sFraunce, the landlord, to render him a
bill for the wine that had been drawn.
Fraunce was man of powerful build,
of great courage and extremely swarthy.
In fact so dark was his complexion that
he was called "Black Sam" When
asked for his account he wiped his eyes,
as he, too, like the others, had been
moved to tears, and declared there was
nothing to pay. Washington insisted
upon settlement, but was finally forced
to compromise with the obdurate inn
keeper by giving him in lieu of money
bit of paper on which was inscribed,
ITO my friend Samuel Fraunce, from
his obliged guest, G. Washington.
Then he went over to Philadelphia TO
render up his commission and to present
his account. His books show that dur
ing the war he had expended $74, 4S5.
But" cried President Miffiin, 81 see

1t will indeed be a pity if the Ameri-
can people ever allow a structure which
has been the scene of such historic and
dramatic events to go to decay or to be
torn down. However, whatever New
Workers may decide in this regard, the
people of San Francisco are doing their
best to preserve and perpetuate the rel
les Of what are called "the good old
days of forty-nine." They have ar
ranged to care for and keep in repair a
weather beaten structure known as the
Williams cottage, which was the first
wooden tavern erected in the present
metropolis of California. The frame

work and timbers came from England,
and were taken around Cape Horn to
the Golden Gate in clipper ship. 1t is
not handsome looking affair, but to
the pioneers yet alive it brings up many
memories of the old times when seen,
and they and the organized societies of
sons Of pioneers have resolved that this
relic of the early days shall not perish
from the face of the earth.
SO it will be- observed that in many
ways the inn is associated with the
hopes, the aspirations, the sorrows and
the joys Of humanity. The fame of the
Great White Horse tavern is due to the
genius of novelist, the glory of
Fraunce's inn is derived from its pat
ronage by the father of his country.
and the Williams hotel will owe its sc.
curity from destruction to the fact that
there gathered motley crowds crazed
with the thirst for gold, and who thence
streamed out along hill and valley,
plain and riverside TO WELD the pick, to
make fortunes or to die Of starvation.

found the great and glorious state Of

The onyx quarries of the state of Pu-
eblo, Mexico, are likely in the near fu-
ture to be source Of great profit to
those engaged in them. These quarries,
for the most part, are situated within a
radius of from twenty-five to forty miles
of the city of Pueblo, and the finer sorts
of the onyx are in that city worked up
into ornaments of various kinds and of
exceeding beauty. Some eleven or
twelve establishments in Pueblo are
now solely engaged in manufacturing
these ornaments. Since the Mexican
Southern railroad from Pueblo to Te-
comavaca was opened no less than 1000
tons of onyx have passed over it.

GOLD SHIPMENTS,
Prediction That They VIII Reach
Twenty-Five Million Dollars.

Prediction That They VIII Reach
Twenty-Five Million Dollars.
New YORK, April 1.-THE shipments
of gold to-day will amount to So, 800, 900.
OF this sum s., 100000 will be taken from
the Sub-Treasury. No gold was received
at the Sub-Treasury yesterday. The
Treasury statement yesterday showed
the gold reserve to be sos, 310, 656, against
Sl06, 247 ,596 Saturday. The shipments to-
day will not show in the report until
Thursday, and by that time it is hoped
considerable gold will have been received
at different Sub-Treasuries. Notwith-
standing the large shipments, the ex-
change rate remains firm. There is no
prospect of shipments ceasing. Some
bankers, who are selling most of the ex-
change bills, about one month ago made
careful calculations as to how much the
shipments would probably amount to be-
fore summer. They figure that Europe
would take S25, 100000 to $4,000, 900 from
this country. Since that time about ST.
100000 have been shipped and bankers
fully expect the shipments will go on
until at least S25. 900, 900 have gone out.
~ DailhSl. Vi lu0 SITUATION,
states that the Secretary of the Treasury
would have difficulty in placing bonds to
replenish the reserve now, if he should
try, for the bank deposits are not so large
as two months ago. At that time he
said, the issue of bonds would have
nearly stopped shipments, because a
good deal of gold was sent out by inn
porters settling foreign obligations, for
fear gold would go to premium, and for
eign debts would have to be paid in more
expensive currency. But for this fear
many foreign accounts would have been
left unsettled and domestic ones now out
standing would have been settled, be-
cause the interest was easier on the other
side. and, other things being equal, a
man would prefer to let his debts stand
there.

Other Events,
SAN FRANCISCO, April u.-Everything
was wet and cold at the Bay District track
this afternoon. Nevertheless, a fair crowd
assembled to witness the sixth days
racing of the Blood-Horse meeting. AL
though a drizZling ram fell during the
morning and a disagreeable mist closed
about the course III the afternoon, the
track WAS in fair condition, not enough
moisture having fallen to turn the clods
of clay into putty.
The fact that the California Stakes were
to be decided was magnet that attracted
many to the course. Somehow or other
stake races take hold Of the people and
draw them TO the courses. Although the
field that started in the event was smaller
than in any other event on the card, the
race WAS the star attraction of the day.

Several Claimants to the Valuable
Property in California.
SAN DIEGO, April 1.-THE first intima-
ton that any heirs to Trinity Church
lands in New York City reside here has
just been made public. They are A. P.
Meeker and Captain Edwards in the di-
rect line of descent and heirs to 81, OOO, 900

the Pioneer Lumber firm of Meeker
Bros, and is from Occidental, Sonoma
County, where his brother, NJ. G. Meeker.
and five other Meeker heirs reside.
Ex-senator ingalls, represents $50 of
more of the heirs and the case is now on
appeal in the Supreme Court against de-
cision in their favor. A compromise is
considered probable, and these eight coast
heirs are arranging for conference soon.
with the probability that the San Diego
Meeker will go East in their interests. he
having rapidly regained his health. He
is great-grandson of Jacob Edwards
and tells the story thus, as other reports
are incorrect:
''in 1888 Everardus Bogardus married
Anetka or Aneka JAMS, widow of Ru-
dolph Jams or Jensen. She had inherited
from her first husband sixty-two acres of
farm land, now the business center of
New York City. and called 'Dominies
Bowery.' In 1647 Domino Bogardus
sailed for Holland and was lost in the
British Channel. Whether his heirs neg
lected their claim or were bought Off is
not known, but in 1864 this tract was in
possession of the Government, and was
called Kings Farm

Edwards, and in III leased it to Tim for

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE Dono-
hue-Kelly Banking Company to-day
sued Flood to recover S139, coo. The COM
plant was verified by Howard Havens,
the President of the corporation.
He alleges that the defendant was the
cashier and agent of the bank, and that
while acting in that capacity between
January l, 1892, and April IA, 1898, he re-
ceived cash checks and bills receivable
amounting to 81, 100000. OF that amount
he misappropriated Sl64, 000 and ne has
reimbursed the company only in the
sum of S25,0 900. Plaintiff demands judg-
ment against him for the balance of $780,
600. Immediately upon the filing of the
complaint in the County Clerks Office
the Sheriff, at the instigation of Vice
President Ravens, issued writ of at
tachment on the residence of Flood at
No. 422 Eddy street. This property is
valued at $4,000.
Flood acknowledges that the money
was distracted from the bank in lump
sum, and the shortage was not made up
of a series of populations extending over
a series of years, as had been supposed,
Flood also confesses that the defalcation
occurred since March 4th, when the bank
moved from the quarters it had occupied
for years to It's new and more pretentious
location, but what he did with it and
why he took it Flood absolutely refuses
TO state. He has been a man heretofore
of upright life and rigid habits, and no
theory that it was expended in dissipation,
riotous living or gambling is tenable.
Some think that it may have been wasted
in speculation, but the bank officials do
not consider it possible that so much
money could have been used in that
manner in so short Il time.
When the theft was discovered last
Tuesday by the State Bank Commission
ers Flood was called into the private
Office by President Donohue, and he i'm
mediately acknowledged his responsible
ity for the disappearance of the money,
bat declined absolutely to tell where it
had gone. He did say, however, that he
had paid it out over the counter in the
usual manner to persons now out of the
jurisdiction of the California courts. He
would not divulge their identity even
under duress, but declared that the bank
was at liberty to hold him accountable
and send him to prison. He cheerfully
gave up property worth S25, 900 in partial
reparation.
Flood had been with the bank thirty
years, twenty-five years as teller and
cashier, and possessed the respect and
entire confidence of the directors and
officers of the bank and all others. The
theory is advanced by some that ne has
voluntarily sacrificed his liberty and
reputation to shield others. Hesuggested
to President Donohue that he might
make disclosure before his death, which
might be in a couple of days, seeming to
imply his intention to commit suicide.

was man named Cholics, who had been
employed in the palace as cellar man, but
who was discharged. Cholics, it appears,

gain his end prepared petition which
he presented to the Cardinal The latter

and made desperate lunge at the Cardi-
nal, who evaded the blow by springing

started toward the Cardinal again. In

Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.


LONDON, April ia spark from the
engine ignited the gas in the coal pit near
Ponty-Pridd, Wales, and caused fright
ful explosion. Three hundred miners
were entombed. The engine-house i'm
mediately took fire, and there was the
greatest fear that hundreds would perish.
The rescuers were driven back, not be-
ing able to bring up more than five of the
dead, leaving the fate of the others in
doubt.
The most agonizing scenes were wit
messed at the mouth of the pit, around
which the relatives of the miners
gathered.
Seventy men succeeded in reaching the
surface through the main dip working,
led by miner who knew the roads.
They had terrible struggle to get out,
forcing their way through fire and
smoke.
AT 9:45 o'clock this evening it was still
impossible to obtain more than meager
details of the accident. The men who
saved themselves were too much con-
fused and frightened TO observe the posi-
uons of their fellow workingmen. They
were unable to give any clear account of
the distribution of the miners, and the
work of rescue must, therefore, proceed
under all difficulties of uncertainty. At
present the flames and smoke would
render any attempt at rescue vain, if not
fatal to any party making the descent.
There is little doubt, moreover, that most
If not all OF the men left below were suffo-
Gated or burned to death.
A second attempt to enter the seam in
which the fire started proved resultless.
Although the rescue party saw six dead
bodies, they were prevented by smoke
and heat from reaching them. The num-
Der of men still in the mine cannot be
ascertained.

HULL (Englandl, April LIT looks
very much as if the dock laborers' strike
is about to prove failure. A lot more of
non-union men were put to work this
morning under police and military pro-
lection, making the whole number of
non-union men who had taken the places
of the strikers 1000. This afternoon the
strikers show evidences of weak ening, as
number of them have applied for and
were given work. The firms in the

have laid idle since the strike began,
have notified their men that unless they
return to work at once their places will
be filled with non-unionists.

Cardiff to enlist the Dock Laborers' and
Sailors and Firemens Unions in their

come involved in the struggle with the
Sailors and Firemen's Union. The latter

block the sailing of every vessel unless
their demand is complied with.

strikers, and here the Shipowners' Fed

PHILADELPHIA, April 1l.-There was a
serious accident on the traction road this
morning. On Columbia avenue, west of
Franklin, there is a steep incline built
over the Reading elevated. The brakes
OF the cable car coming east broke, the
grip lost its hold and the car dashed
down-hill at a fearful rate of speed. The
screams Of passengers could be heard
long distance away. When the car
reached Franklin street, where the road
turns south, it jumped the track and
smashed into wagon, killing the horse
and injuring the driver. Six women pas
sengers were injured, two, it is stated,
fatally.
