MENACING CITY PROPERTY.
Indignation OH the Part of
Neighbors.
AID OF THE POLICE INVOKED.
The Ex-Supervisor Claims a Valid
Title to the Land Now in
Dispute.

Behrend Jo0st, of electrician fame, ere
ated another sensation yesterday by rip
ping up the entrance to the Corbett road,
which is that special piece of property
lying between Clara and hattie avenues.
ID consequence there is much excitement
among the residents of that locality and
the aid of the police was invoked during
thu day for the purpose of maintaining
order.
Since the year Of 1889 the Corbett road
has been thoroughfare to the ocean
beach. but now it appears that it's initial
point is ia jeopardy.
About three years ago Mr.. JoOst erected
a fence on either side of the road, between
Clara and Hattie avenues, which is above
Douglass street
He allowed about twenty feet of space
tor teams to pass and for general traffic
In the meantime il appears that he bad
been paying taxes on and claiming the
property on either side of the roadway.
The fences appear to have been great
annoyance TO the neighbOrs and the
pruperty-owners in the vicinity, and COM
piaIDt was made to the Superintendent OF
Streets.
The result was that Contractor Buck
man was ordered to tear down the fences
on Thursday last, and he complied strictly
with the order.
AS soon as this was done curbing and
sidewalks were laid on either side OF the
road, and the residents were rejoicing IN
their victory over JoOst.
| The. latter, however, kept his counsel
| and sawed wood until yesterday morn
| ing, when he Introduced score of labor

I sidewalks torn ana the boards
carted away to the first c1nven emit vacant
| space. while the curbing was also removed.

| for police protection, but ii was too late to
| do them any good.
By the time the police arrived the two

1t was expected that there would be

the fences, it was decided to submit the

A HOPEFUL FEELING.
Upward Tendency of the London
Money Market.
Silver Was Firmer on Chinese
Buying Than for Some
Time.

LONDON, June 10.-The rates for money
are apparently at low water level. Some
three months bills were taken during the
week as low as l 1-16, while the belief in
continued ease is shown by the fact that
six months paper has been discounted at
l per cent.
Guild continues to flow in. A million
POUNDS are now en- route. Silver was
firIner on Chinese buying. The stock mar
ket was generally active. There was a
fair business in invest ment securities. ln
other stocks there we're slight fluctuations,
chiefly due TO professional dealings. The
premium TO which the new Indian and
Australian loans have advanced and the
heavy subscriptions to the Turkish and
De Beers issues aud some brewery deben-
lures promise. however, an advance in
speculative securities before long.
Foreign securities were virtually neg
lected and the changes were small. Home
railroads were we'll supported, owing to
good freight receipts. American railroads
recovered somewhat On the tariff pros
poets, but pronounced improvement was
checked by poor traffic receipts, the coal
strike, etc.
Nevertheless the tendency appears TO be
upward and the feeling here is hopeful.
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul was 213
and Northern Pacific preferred 2B higher.
The advance in Erie seconds, Louisville
and Northfolk preferred ranged from 1 to
2 per cent. All the others except Atchi-
son were slightly improved. Grand Trunk
securities were slightly improved. Cana
dian Pacific fell 234 on reports OF damage
done by the floods. Argentine railroads
dropped on poor traffic reports. Mining
stocks generally declined on realizations.

FORT BRAGG. June 10.-A mass-meet-

night to consider the question of contrib
uting labor toward encouraging the COM
mencement of work on the Fort Bragg

ing was large ana enthusiastic. There are
hundreds of unemployed men on the Men

ing employment. Those employed are re-
ceiviug the lowest wages ever known of in
the history of the lumber trade. The men
80 thoroughly understand the situation that
they are eager to assist the enterprise
with the contribution of few days labor
each month, which will aggregate several
thousand dollars. When the work is be-
gun employment will be given 10 thou
sand men at once. The property % neTs
have subscribed $4,000. This is the first
time in the United States such meeting
was ever held where labor of its own
accord has come forward and offered its
capital stock to assist an enterprise where
so many unemployed men might be bene-
flied.

FOREST FIRES
Are Doing a Great Deal of Damage
in Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich. June 10.-A special

fires are raging in the neigh borhood Of
Nestoria, fifty miles west of here. Two
bridges on the South Shore road near here
have been burned, stopping traffic to
Duluth, and hard fight was necessary to
protect the company's property near Mes
toria.
The burning district covers an area Of a
mile wide and five miles long. and the
destruction TO timber must be enormous.
Similar big fires extend southwark at in
tervals for many miles.
Sagola. a small numbering village of 400
inhabitants, was completely wiped out
and a freight train on the Milwaukee and
North Railroad in passing through was set
on fire and several cars burned. Only the
most meager reports can be received as the

and DO change at KatZ landing. At Chill
liwack last night the water dropped two
inches and the same at Wades landing
making a total fall of nine inches since the
