SUIT FOR A LARGE SUM.

Case of Eme1ine Wallace and Cora
Herzstein VS.. Sisson and Crocker.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-The suit of
Emeline Wallace and Cora A. Herzstein
against Joseph II. Sisson and Clark W.
Crocker is on trial for the second time in
the Superior Court. On the occasion of
the first trial, which was during ex-Judge
]. G. Maguire's term Of office, judgment
was given in favor of defendants. An
appeal was taken, however, to the Su-
preme Court, with the result that the de-
cision was reversed and new trial or
dered. 1t is this new trial which is now
in progress before Judge Hebbard.
The action was brought by plaintiffs,
Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. Herzstein, who
are respectively the widow and daughter
of the late William III. Wallace, to recover
$50. 600. which they alIege they are en-
titled to from defendants, the surviving
mariners of the firm of Sisson. Wallace q
Co. on account OF the one-third interest
owned in the business during his life
time by deceased, William ID. Wallace.
For this interest plaintiffs allege that they
were persuaded some years ago to accept
very inadequate sum by representations
said to have been made by defendants.
The suit, which is still pending was
instituted to set the agreement then en-
tered into aside to force the surviving
mariners to render an accounting, and TO
secure the amount of money claimed 10
be actually due by virtue of the interest
held by the deceased partner.

DISASTERS AT SEA.
BRITISH BARK WRECKED ON THE
COAST OF IRELAND.
All of the Crew, Numbering Twenty.
Five Men, Drowned-Steamer
Believed to be Wrecked.
Special to the REcoRD-US1o


TRALEE, Jan. 29.-The British bark
Port Yarrock has been wrecked and all
of the crew, numbering twenty-five,
drowned.
The vessel was on her way from Santa
Rosalia to Queenstown. She had on board
a cargo of copper ore and was commanded
by Captain Forbes.
She left Santa Rosalia on July 4th last,
and had a good passage until the early
part of the present month, when she went
ashore on the north coast of Ireland. She
got off and after making repairs started
for Queenstown. A storm coming up
Captain Forbes ran into Bantry Bay and
anchored. The threatened storm followed
and before anything could be done she
was completely wrecked and all on board
were drowned.
All efforts on the part of the shoremen
could not save the wrecked Seamen, and
twenty-five men, including the Captain,
found watery grave. When the heavy
seas struck the vessel the main and miZ-
zeumasts went by the board and the sea-
men took to the forerigging. and shortly
afterward that was carried away and the
unfortunate sailors clinging TO 1t were
thrown into the sea. For time the sail
ors clung to pieces of the wreckage float
ing about, but one by one they gave up
the struggle and were drowned before the
ewes of the on-lookers, powerless to help
them.
The vessel was completely broken up.
a Dublin lifeboat, with a red star on
each bow and with the name ending in
s.field,'' has been stranded at Burton
port, Donegal. A quantity OF cotton has
also been stranded at the same place, and
it is believed large steamer has been
wrecked somewhere on the coast.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.
The Southern Pacific's Showing Bett
Than the AVnIsa

The Southern Pacific's Showing Better
Than the Average.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. &c. f. Crocker,
First Vice President of the Southern Pa
cific Company said to-day the preliminary
report of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will open the eyes of the country
to the difficulties that beset the railroads
of the country. "Gross earnings of only 81
per cent. on the capitalization of the
companies is not sufficient to assure
what may be called healthy
state of atfairs,'' said Mr.. Crocker.
"Just look at the number of
railroad companies that were placed IN
the hands of receivers last year. That
could not have happened if the times had
not been in depressed condition. l am
not sure that the Southern Pacifc'S oper-
ations are included or considered in this
preliminary report, but suppose that
such is the case, as our statements are
sent to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners.
at is a gratifying fact that the Southern
Pacific's showing will be better than the
general average of 479 companies in
Guided in the commissions report. The
relative good financial condition OF the
California roads is greatly due to local
causes. The financial stress appears to
have touched the Southern and Middle
Western roads most seriously. In some
of the Southern States careless manage
ment has helped to make the operations

It is Expected That Exhibits VIII be

SAN Francisco, Jan. 29.-It is conf
IDENTIFY expected that by Saturday even
ing next the exhibits at the Midwinter
Fair will be in place. 1t is the purpose
of the management to make the show on
that evening memorable. The incandes-
cent light system, which includes the
outlining of all buildings with rows OF
lights accentuating each architectural
feature, will then be carried out.
1t was originally proposed to close the
exposition gates at o'clock pending the
installation of exhibits and the compile
ton of the electrical work, but as a cour-
tesy to concessionalres an extension to 10
o'clock was made until the regular day
and night system is inaugurated. All
the main buildings, however, were closed
to visitors tonight, and as consequence
the attendance was not very large. The
turnstiles registered 6,270 admissions
when the gates closed.
