THE WATER QUESTION.
COUNCIL NOT LIKELY TO DISCUSS
IT TODAY.
Much Significance Attached to Mr..
Pierce's Return to the City-What
Secretary Mott
Says.

The city officials in whose hands the
water question rests claim there is
nothing new regarding the proposition.
From other sources it is found there
might be some very significant news
within very short time.
1t is given out that R. B. F. Pierce,
the Indianapolis capitalist, who in con-
junction with Mr.. Schafer OF Chicago,
secured an option on the City Water
company's plant. will return to the city
at once to further present the PROPOSE
tion to the council.
1t is expected that the water supply
committee will not report at today's
session OF the council. One reason given
is that the company refuses to give the
desired statement of its possessions so
that the committee can be enabled to
make more satisfactory report as to
the price to be offered by the city for the
plant.
Secretary Mott of the City Water COM
pany says that the price of $500, 900
which the council refuses to entertain
is very reasonable, claiming that it is
worth $4,000, 600 or more. He holds
that the city is not in the position Of a
buyer until after the honda are voted
and sold for the purchase OF water works.
Until that time he said it was not req
sonable to ssk fol- every detail OF the
property to be exposed. The buyers OF
the stock had taken it on examination
of the books, the methods of doing busi-
ness and the revenues. He said many
OF the stock holders were anxious to get
their stock back, and that they felt like
having the matter adjusted strictly ac-
cording to law if they have to enter into
long and costly litigation to do it. He
added significantly that there are 80
stockholders. whose aggregate wealth is
about S25. .OO0. 900.

How He Made a Successful Sale of
Restaurant.
A Man who Was Full of Resources
when an Opportunity Was offered.
A Piece of Slick Work Which
Is Note bio for Adrottness.

Matrimonial Agent Bayne, who is
serving out term of imprisonment in
the county Jail, is man of infinite re.
sources and ideas, judging by story
told by him to one of the jailere. Be.
fore Bayne came to grief in Fresno,
where he was arrested for running a
bogus marriage bureau, he wac exercis-
ing his talents in San Francisco.
Bayne had friend in the same town
who had invested his money in res
taurant, and was rapidly losing it all for
want of custom. Bayne struck this
friend one day in the street, and being
ever on the lookout for an opportunity,
asked him if he would appoint him to
get rid Of the restaurant business. The
unfortunate proprietor jumped at the
suggestion, and told Bayne that if he
could get him his capital back, 5000, he,
Bayne, might keep everything over.
Then Bayne began to hustle. Before
long he ran across young Englishman
who had $1,000 and was desirous of going
into business. Bayne doomed up his
friends restaurant and offered it TO the
Englishman for $500.
The would-be investor took to the idea
but would come to no agreement until
he had an opportunity of seeing the
business done by the restaurant. Bayne
made an appointment for latter date
and left. He went stright to two news.

ment to the effect that a rich widow
needed husband and requested reply
by mail.
A day later and the schemer had re.
ceived 100 letters in reply.
Bayne then sat down and getting q
friend to help him answered each letter
and requested the writer to meet the
supposed widow.
The place of appointment was the
restaurant, and the time was alternate.
ly breakfast, lunch and dinner hours.
Then the willy Bayne looked up his
Britisher, and on the right day had him
stuck up in a big chair behind the coun-
ter, waiting to see the crowds which
Bayne told him patronized the restaur.
ant.
And all day long the matrimonially
inclined kept pouring in. True, there
was preponderance OF man custom,
and the aforesaid males kept theix eyes
rolling around for the widow, but
the Britisher didn't mind that, and as
he sat behind the counter and raked in
the dollars, he told himself he had
struck a soft thing. The next day
things were just the same, and the
Briton, without wanting any better evil
dence of business prosperity, anted up
his $500, and gave Bayne q present for
putting him on to the good thing.
Bayne made clear 5000. his friend
saved his capital, and the Englishmar

SAN DIEGO, June 25.-Captain E. j.
Jones and IL men Of the abandoned
British ship Derbyshire, bound from
Talcabueno for the British kingdom, ar
rived at this pert today by the coal ship
Port Patrick, Captain Anton, who
picked them up in latitude 53 degrees,
81 minutes south. and longitude 81 de-
grees, 40 minutes west, May let. The
vessel had been at the mercy of the
tempest for five days, during which time
great portion of the cargo
had been thrown overheard to
tighten the ship. The wheel was
smashed to pieces and nothing
could be done to save the ship, which
was fast sinking when the Port Patrick
came in sight. None of the crew were
lost. The rest of the men were taken
on board by the Andrine of Liverpool,
from Cardiff for Santa Rosalita, as Cap
tain Anton was afraid mis- fresh water
would not hold out for so many men.
The Derbyahire was loaded with wheat
and was bnilt in Liverpool 80 years ago,
and owned at the time of her loss by O..
II. Rhees of Carnarvo, Wales.
