PRESIDE RESERVATION,
The New Pumping Plant Sup
plies All the Water
Needed.
Progress of Work on the New Brick
Barracks and the Steel
Wharf.

The United States Government, through
the War Department, is spending money
freely for permanent improvements at the
Preside reservation. Under the direction
of Amos S. Kimball, deputy quartermaster-
general, work is progressing on the double
brick barracks and the new steel wharf.
One of the barracks buildings is now COM
pleted, the second is under roof and the
foundations of the third are completed to
the water table. The entire work will be
finished in December. Each double bar
racks will contain accommodation for two
companies The expense Of the three will
approximate 500, 200.
The duplicate pumping plant is working
to the satisfaction of all concerned. The
supply of water is ample as the twelve
wells yield 200, 900 gallons day. 1t is pro-
posed, however, to bore additional wells so
as to reduce the hours of pumping and
thus diminish the cost of fuel. The guam
tity of water now furnished, If it were sup
piled and distributed by the Spring Valley
system, would cost the Government $40, 900
year.
A contract for constructing the new
wharf has been awarded to San Fran
cisco contractor. Work has been some
what delayed because some of the material
ordered in the East has not arrived. 1t is
expected that the wharf will be completed
by the end of November.
Officers and enlisted men who attended
the summer outing at Monterey speak of
the expedition as great success from a
military point of view.
Two troops of cavalry on duty, one in
Yosemite Valley and the other in Seouoia
Grove, are having active service. These
troops are under the direction of the Sec
rotary of the Interior 1t is their duty to
guard against timber cutting and forest
fires and to keep irresponsible herders of
stock away from the reservations. There
is considerable territory for the troopers to
patrol. Campers and herders are careless
about fires, and If constant vigilance was
not maintained by the guards destructive
fires would frequently occur.
The dull routine or monotony of garri-
son life is the rule at the harbor posts
Few changes of Importance have been
made recently, and no "inside tips" have
come from Washington of contem plated
changes.
Colonel Mendell, chief engineer, is pro-
crossing very we'll with the work of forti-
flying the approaches to San Francisco
from the ocean. The rule is observed
which prevents foreigners from making
surveys and diagrams of the batteries, but
the local photographers manage somehow
to get views for reproduction in magazines
and other publications.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,
Amended Rule Adopted Re-
garding the designations
of Members.
Two Drivers and an Engineer Fined
Five Days Pay for Neglect
OF Duty.

The Fire Commissioners at their meet.
ing yesterday afternoon imposed fine Of
five days pay upon George Duncan, driver
of engine 10, for neglect of duty; George
Mcdonald, driver of engine g. for careless
driving; and Charles A. Rice, engineer OF
engine "a, for neglecting to properly care
for his engine.
The following appointments were made
J. Logan, truckman of truck 3; Reuben
Levy, truckman of truck g.; and John
Mannion, truckman of truck Z.
1t was decided to petition the Board of
Supervisors to purchase two lots for de-
partment purposes, one at Ocean View and
the other in the vicinity of Waller and
Stanyan streets.
Plans and specifications were submitted
and approved for three new engine-houses,
one at Ocean View, one at Seventeenth
street, near Folsom, and the third at Ash
bury Heights.
The rule regarding designations was
amended so as to prevent the resignation
of member after charges have been filed
against him without the consent of the
board expressed at an open meeting. Sew
eral members have lately rendered their
designations as soon as charges were made
against them rather than face an lnvesti-
cation.
Chief Sullivan called attention to the fact
that owing to so many badges being dis
tributed to men outside of the department
the efforts of the fremen and police at
fires were seriously hampered by too many
people being allowed inside the lines. He
suggested that new badge be worn by
members of the department only and that
a celluloid badge be given to members OF
the press, to be renewed annually. The
suggestion was adopted.

TRAFFIC ON THE RIVER.
Steamers Enjoy a Marked Increase in
Passenger Travel and Ship
menfs.

The increased traffic on the Stockton
steamers within the past ninety days has
been most satisfactory to the management
of those lines.
Mate e. P. Taylor of the steamer T. G.
Walker, in speaking of the matter yester-
day, said:
"The revival of traffic in the past three
months has been very remarkable. To-
day, as you see, we are going to have a
very large cargo, and tomorrow this line
will have two boats leaving at the same
time. For three months or more the J. D.
Peters and the Mary CARAT have been
making the same trip, these two steamers
alternating daily with the T. c. Walker.
"In addition to these three steamers this
line has a freightboat which is continu-
ously engaged in towing heavy barges,
having a carrying capacity of from 800
to 1900 tons each.
The rails, ties and supplies for the Val
ley railroad have become an important
factor in the freight line.
1.-THE passenger traffic also has increased
in a very perceptible degree recently.
You can safely say that the traffic on the
river lines is better to-day than it has been
for years.
The mate of the steamer Captain Weber
of the new line also stated that the amount
of freight carried by that line was much
larger than formerly.

THE ARMY'S RESCUE LEAGUE.
To Natixa

pealing to Native Daughters.
Mrs. McFee of the Salvation Army is
enthusiastic about her plan of securing CO.
operation from the Native Daughters in
managing the army's Rescue Home at
Beulah.
"Our plans are scarcely formulated at
present." she said yesterday, "but we ex-
pect in q short time to call meeting
either across the bay or at our headquar-
tiers here. We shall invite the Native
Daughters to attend and see in what way
they are willing to lend hand. We have
had several individual offers of help al
ready from Native Daughters who have
heard of the scheme, and the last two were
from broad minded Catholic ladies.''
In the meantime Mrs. Captain McFee
and Captain Wagner have written Joint
"Rescue" letter to the Native Daughters,
which will be published in forthcoming
number of the War Cry. In it's course It
says:
AS yet our plans for the formation of the Pa
cific Coast Rescue League are in embryo. We
wish in this letter to ask you to cooperate with
us in bringing them to completion by sending
us by return mail your name and occupation.
OF course we are taking it for granted that you
coming a member of the league. We have
agreed to put the membership fee down to the
small sum of SO cents per year to start with.
The object of this league will be to push the
work of soul-saving among our Pacific Coast
women.
In speaking yesterday of the appeal con-
tanned in the above letter. Mrs. McFee
stated that it is the custom in the East and
Europe to organize auxiliary leagues, COM

man, and Miss Kate Dornin, voicing the
sentiments of the Epworth League, spoke
of the affection of the young people for
their pastor and their regret that he was
to be taken from their midst.
At this point in the proceedings DR.. and
Mrs. McClish, who had seats among the
audience, were requested to step upon the
platform, and when they did SO were pre-
sented by Mrs. Mcclellan in the name of
the congregation with beautiful casket
containing an entire table set of solid sill
yer. In presenting this gift Mrs. Mcclellan
made an address in which she described
DR.. McClish's coming from the East to
take the pastorate of Grace M. E. Church,
and dwelt upon the happy way in which
he had won the good will and affection Of
his California congregation.
Rev. J. George Gibson voiced the graft
tude of the Emmanuel Baptist Church
congregation toward DIR. McClish, and DR..
Pond spoke on behalf of the Bethany Con-
gregational Church. 1t was midnight be-
fore the reception came to an end by the
whole congregation shaking hands with
the pastor and wishing him Godspeed.

RECEPTION TO A PASTOR.
Grace NJ. e. Congregation Bids DR..
McC1ish Farewell.

Grace NJ. e. Congregation Bids Dr.
McClish Farewell.
A touching farewell reception was ten
dered on Wednesday evening to Rev. Eli
McClish by the congregation of Grace M.
E. Church. assisted by the congregations
of Emmanuel Baptist Church and Bethany
Congregational Church.
The reception took place in Grace M. E.
Church on Twenty-tirst street, of which
DR.. McClish has been pastor during the
last five years. It was Grace M. E. Church
that offered hospitality to the congrega-
ton of Emmanuel Baptist Church after
it's own edifice had been profaned, and
Rev. George Gibsons flock showed that
it appreciated this act of kindness by
attending the farewell reception to DR..
McClish almost in body.
Robert Wilson, prominent member OF
the Sunday school, was chairman of the
entertainment committee. He presided
at the speech making, when a number of
addresses was made by gentlemen and
ladies of the congregation expressing
regret at the loss of DR.. McClish. c. w.
Marks spoke especially of all that the
pastor had done for the Sunday-school
and j. Renwick of the official board of
Grace M. E. Church testified to the large
increase in membership which had taken
place during the last five years.
The hourishing financial condition of
the church was described by Isaac Tru-

DRIVING.

arrests the officers are allowed certain
amount of discretion. The man who drives
an animal whose fastest pace is slow trot
enjoys immunity from police interference
even though his horse. urged to his utmost
speed, crosses street intersection at an
amhle. But the spirited roadster or head
strong team horse which, chatting at the
restraining curb, trots across the pavement
is bounced on at once, the theory being
that the first animal being ever ready to
halt would stop easily in time TO prevent
an impending collision with a pedestrian,
while the latter being not SO easily man
aged could not be halted till the damage
was done.
SIT is about week since was assigned
to this duty" said a member OF the mounted
force during a lull in the passing traffic,
yesterday, land the drivers are getting to
know me and to understand what | am
here for, but at first it was pretty hard
work. And yet, it is just as easy for these
fellows to do right as to do wrong. You
see, when | take one OF them in it means
$25 bail and -
Here, you boy, walk that horse over

GAS was saying, the bail is $25 and, if
it is fragrant case, the Judge always fines
'em that much, too. The fine is never less

sive, to say nothing of the trouble and
bother.
The worst street for fast driving2 Oh,
Kearny is the worst by far. You see most
OF the teams come up Bush and Pine
streets, where it's easy hauling, and then
shoot out Kearny like all possessed. The
worst of all are the buggies and the vege-
table and fish peddlers You see these
last get through their days work and then
hurry home along Kearny street. l have
made thirteen arrests so far, and they were
all buggies or peddlers' wagons. An un-
lucky number? Oh, | guess not. But
there is my meat now" And the officer
was off like flash to make another arrest
and change his unlucky number.
The mounted police on patrol duty do
not wear regulation uniforms, nor do they
carry their "stars" in sight. They are
attired in blue trousers, dark-colored
FREEZER" jackets and hard hats, and except
for their superior Workmanship present
much the appearance of private individ-
uals out for ride.

enough to hold the lines over speedy and

With this object in view mounted officers
have been detailed TO patrol the principal
thoroughfares of the retail district, nota-

I. r.. Burns, Retired Merchant,
Brought to Time in Court.
I. R. Burns, q retired wholesale dealer in
crockery, lost suit before Justice of the
Peace Barry yesterday on 5000 tailor bill.
Burns would have paid Tailor Holland
willingly enough, but he disputed several
of the items, where he claimed he had
never received the clothes. For the past
four years Burns has spent most of his
time knocking about the world. Periodi-
cally he visited California. He took ad-
vantage of these trips to plead the statute
of limitations against Tailor Holland. On
looking over his figures the court found he
was several months short of the statutory
time of being absent from the State. The
cost of the clothes that he had not received
was deducted from the bill and Judgment
was entered against him for $500.

of the raid made by the officers ana that he is
in no way connected with Nelson and has
nothing to do with the lottery business in any
manner.

HIS LIFE SAVED.
Samuel G. Palmer Nearly Killed While
Assisting in Tearing Down the
Old City Hall.

Another accident occurred at the old
City Hall yesterday. One of the rotten
walls fell and buried Samuel G. Palmer,
and came near being his grave.
When his fellow workmen dug him out,
one of Palmer's ears had been torn away,
his ribs were broken and his scalp torn.
Altogether he presented pitiable appear
ance. The ambulance was summoned, and
he was at once taken to the Receiving
Hospital. DIR. Fitzgibbon dressed his
wounds and said he believed that the
injured man would live.
Palmer. with seven other men, was en-
gagged in tearing down brick wall twenty
five feet high. 1t would not bulge and
the men began to undermine it. This
they proceeded to do and while the gang
was at work the wall fell. Deputy Coroner
Mccormick called out warning to the
men and all escaped save Palmer.

cases of Andrew Hazard and an unknown

tional. In the case of Patrick Heaney, who
was kicked to death by horse, the verdict was
accidental death.
