McDONALDS' BANK.
Commissioners File Their
March Report.
Found Th at Writs of Prohibition and
Other Litigation Seriously I'm.
pede Progress.

The report of the Bank Commissioners
upon the affairs OF the Pacific Bank for
the month of March was presented by
Judge Hebbard yesterday.
At the end of the month the cash on
hand was SCI, ,975 ia reduction from the
cash deposit of March of S4S4 A Re-
ceipts, consisting of bills receivable. in
terest, ETC.. amounted to S1216 sc, against

Pacific Bank. S84 13; with Anglo-Califor-
nian Bank S61,o ,o91 OF; total. S61.975 15.
The following statement Is made by the
commissioners upon the difficulty expe-
rienced in collecting outstanding accounts ::
"Since the writ of prohibition was issued
by the Superior Court against the bank
AID the commissioners. IL has not only
deferred O great many people from paying
their q otes due to this corporation, but it
has also prevented the commissioners
from transacting the business of the bank
in manner that would inure to the best
interest of the creditors.
mo suits can be brought except they
are such as to prevent notes from being
outlawed, nor, we think, are ell allowed to
expend moneys in such cases as might be
necessary to recover securities for moneys
advanced and where no securities exist at
against the bank, or those now in control,
is not only to be deplored, but is far from
excusable."
The resignation of DR.. r. H. Mcdonald,
with the subsequent election of James Nj.
Mcdonald as president of the bank, is
re erred 10.
A receiver has been appointed in the
matter of the California Raisin and Fruit
Growers Association OF MADEIRA.
The commissioners have had the taxes
advanced in the case of the Mohawk Canal
and Improvement Company. In the tax
bill is found only the canal and q few
hundred dollars worth OF personal prop
erty, alth ough the company is supposed to
own 5000 acres of land. The title is said
to be in the name of private parties.
Seven hundred and fifty-.wo claims have
been filed, amounting to S594. 723 67. This
represents liabilities to the extent of two
thirds of the total number.

Clara County on January 5, 1894. when the
widow was granted family allowance of
$4,000 month, and since the death of her
husband she has been living at 1921 Sutter
street, in such manner as the allowance
given would permit.
The estate is valued at about 81, 500, 600,
and by the terms of the will George E.
Barron is to receive during his life only
the annual income from 100000 The
other son, William r. Barron, the we'll

the remainder of the estate except S45. 600,
which was given to various charities, goes
to the widow, Eva Rose Barron, and her
three minor children.
Edward Barron was one of the most
widely known men on the Pacific Coast
Arriving in San Fran cisco in 1850, together
with his first wife, who was Miss Maria
Cleary of New York, their total wealth
consisted only in the strength of their
courage and their life for the future. Mr..

But Mr.. Barron was not long q widower.

Crooks in this city. but she survived only
six months. and he was once more free
from matrimonial bonds.
But not for long. More than once dur

of his hand and fortune. but the siege was
unsuccessful until be decided TO cast his
lot among strangers, and went abroad. In

acquaintance of fifteen days, he succeeded
in forming an alliance with Miss Eva Rose
O'Leary, a sister-in-law of the late Coll
Dean of this city, and returned with his
bride to California.
But though Mr.. Barron had been still
largely concerned in various financial ep-
terprises. the total of his wealth did not
increase. When he disposed of his mining
stock, having held not only Con. Cal. &
Virginia but also large blocks OF b ale &

testant of the will hopes to build up his
case. The fortune which his mother
helped TO gain is substantially the one which
his father has disposed of by will, and
it is upon this ground that he hopes to have
his fathers will revoked and division
made of the estate which will give the
sons by the first marriage more equitable
share in the estate.
1t is alleged that the influence of Mrs.
Eva Rose Barron over her husband was
complete. AT the time of their marriage
in 1881 he was already go years of age,
while the woman he married was but %.
Three children were born to them, son
and two daughters. During the last few
years of Mr.. Barron's life he was in very
feeble health. and the contestant claims
that owing to his fathers weak condition
and the fac that his young wife was the
mother of the children of his old age, by
reason of this she held him completely
under her power, and to this is due the
fact that she and her children are so we'll
provided for while the sons who were
grown received but a meager fraction OF
the fortune.
The estate comprises some of the ch oice
pieces of property in San Francisco. To it
belongs the building on Post street known
as the Supreme Court building, and occu-
pied by O'Connor & M0ffatt, the gore at
Market and Eddy streets. with frontage
of 165 feet, and other real estate in town
worth at least 100000. among which are
five 50-vara lots fronting on the park pam
handle. The first two properties named
are easily worth S1,0OO,0O0.
In addition TO these, his ranch at May
field, where he had his country residence,
consists of several hundred acres. and is a
magnificent estate In itself. The balance
of the property is made up in cash on hand
and stocks, easily convertible. amounting
in all to S375.00O. The annual income in
rents, dividends and interest is about
500, 900.
When the will was admitted to probate
and the widow given family allowance OF
$4,000 month a motion was made on the
part of the contestant to have this amount
reduced, and the motion comes up at noon
to-day at San Jose. Attorney M. c. Has
sett went to San Jose last night to attend
to the filing of the papers and to argue the
motion for the reduction of the family sl-
lowance to-day.
Although the suit is brought in the name
of George E. Barron, his brother. William
r. Barron, is In full sympathy with 1t. as
his share in the estate under the will is
less even than his brothers.
On account of the magnitude of the es-
tate and the nature Of the contest, and the
made against Mr. Barron's
older children. it is expected that some
very sensational testimony will be pro-
duced at The trial IS to the methods used
by the widow in procuring the will to be
made so favorably to herself and her chill
dren.

In company with A. E. Davis, and the
other members of the Bonanza firm, who
had given him his first induction into
stock business, he projected the South
Pacific Coast Railroad, of which ex-senator
Fair subsequently, became sole proprietor.
and which he aiterward disposed OF to the
Southern Pacific Company for Sc. 500, 600.
1t was the original inten ton to build the
road only to Newark, but as it was such
success. and there was a demand for its
extension. they concluded to finish it
through to San Jose and eventually to
Santa Cruz. About this time Fair bought
it. and Barron, weary of business and
being now well advanced in years and
possessed of an ample fortune, retired.
But though up to this time actively en-
gagged in this and various other enter
prises, Mr.. Barron's estate during the
later years of his life was not increased in
value aud at the time Of his death was

During all these years tie wife of his
youth took not only an active interest but
an active part in the direction OF his busi-
ness, and her saving and planning went
far toward attaining the results which
their united efforts accomplished.
Here was laid the foundation for the
more substantial fortune OF his later years.
Upon information received by Mr.. Barron
fromthe Bonanza firm of Mackay, Fair.
Flood & O'Brien he began to invest largely
in mining stocks. and from that time op-
ward he was identified with many of the
most prominent enterprises in California
and Nevada. and subsequently became
president of the Consolidated California
and Virginia Mining Company.
Fortunate as he had been in making his
investments, be was equally fortunate in
disposng of them. In 1874. just before
the great crash which brought disaster to
SO many fortunes and ruin to so many
homes, he unloaded all his stocks and
came out of the wreck twice millionaire.
But increase of fortune brought only
increase of misery for the woman who
had helped lay the foundations on which
it was built, and, as too often happens.
this sudden accumulation Of wealth did
not bring continued domestic happiness
for Mrs. Barron.
The whole nature of her husband seemed
changed from this time forward. The
patient, loving. accomplishing wife, the
partner in the days of his adversely and
struggle for wealth, was discarded. The
society which had once been more desir-
able to him than all others. and the advice
which he had once sought as necessary tn
his every act were now ignored. and he
began to crafty his selfish pleasures in
the gay society Of others.
Neglect and the grief it caused soon did
its work. Within two years she for whom
the evening of life seemed so full of hope
and promise of happiness died of a broken

and there was not a vacant seat in the
auditorium. Those who came late had to

The entertainment was given for the

LOTTERIES ARE ILLEGAL.
And Contracts Connected With Them
Not Binding.

F. G.. Pierce walked into j. II. Claussen's
liquor-stors one dav and. being thirsty, de-
manded drinks. Silver or gold had he
none. but he possessed four lottery tickets,
which the barkeeper consented to accept in
lieu of payment for nine libations.
Now, the lottery came off in due course,
and the barkeeper won $500 on one OF the
four tickets. The result of this was an
acton brought in the Superior Court by
PIERCE against Claussen, claiming an
agreement whereby the parties agreed to
divide any prize that might be won on the
tickets.
The case was tried yesterday before
Judge Hunt and jury. At the close of
the plaintiffs case, however, Judge Hunt
instructed the jury to find verdict for the
defendant. on the ground that all lotteries
were illegal and no contract in connection
with lottery tickets could be binding.
