MONTEREY, Mex, July 5, '95.
To the Daily LIGHT:
The Americans and Mexicans
celebrated the Fourth of July yes
terday in picturesque Monterey as
1t never was before. At early SUM-
rise the American consul, Hon.
Dudley G. Fitzsimmons, hoisted
the stars and stripes over his office.
Gov. Bernardo Reyes, the federal
and state officers and all the for
eign consuls in the city hoisted
their flags over their respective
offices in honor of the day. Many
of the Americans had the front Of
their houses decorated with the
national colors. At the Monterey
and Mexican Gulf depot the Ameri-
can and Mexican flags were flying
to the breeze from the flag stats
on the building.
was the opening of the
MONTEREY ATHLETIC CLUB AND
RACE COURSE.
Aspreviously announced through
the Daily LIGHT by your CORES
pondent, the management spared
no expense to make this Fourth of
July the most successful that was
ever held in this country, and it
goes without saying that they were
most eminently successful. They
offered more prizes and furnished
more amusements for this occasion
than was ever offered by any asso-
citation in the Republic. The pub
lie are indebted to Messrs. Fred.
G. Burgdorfer, Manager John
Grace and Jose Maria Trevino,

and to Prof. o. H. Harker,
Mr.. Charles B. Flynn and
Senior Jose NJ. Trevino who
were selected as judges Of the
races, and to Capt. J. w. Sharp, ].
p. Sharp and Capt. Nelson, the
starters Of the races, for the impair
tial manner in which they discharg.
ed the work assigned to them, and
to Mr.. E. j. Virgins, who umpire d
the base ball game.
SAN ANTONIO AND LAREDO

first race, called at Q a. m. was a
bicycle race, 400 OF. of silver, rs OF.

A NIGHT IN SOUTHS|DE.
The Folsom Street Stra-
ton Will Be a Great
Success.
Charles M. Shortridge and Other
Well-KnoWn Citizens VIII Be
Present.

The executive committee having in
charge the public demonstration called for
Thursday night at Columbia square. to
visors in postponing the illuminating of
Folsom street, met at the office of DIR. Rot
tamil last night. The several committees
made their reports, which were decidedly
encouraging. So much so in fact that ga
Night in Southside," as the demonstra ton
is called, may already be termed success.
The committee appointed to extend an
invitation to Charles M. Shortridge, edi-
tor of THE CALL, to deliver an address
on that occasion reported favorably. The
other speakers selected are Congressman
Mcguire James II. Barry, George D. Shad-
bourne. William Hendrickson, Judge Groe-
Finger, Deputy United States District At
torney Schlessmger, H. T. Wynne, G. w.
Owen and G. A. Rabbe.
The following invitation has been sent
to all the bicycle clubs and riders in San
Francisco, and the probabilities are that
several thousand wheelmen will be in at
tendance:
Yourself and club are cordially invited to
participate in the grand moonlight parade of
square, Folsom street. between Sixth and
Seventh, on Thursday evening, Septem-
Der 5, 1895. where the Southside Improve
ment clubs will hold a great open air demon
immediate illuminating of Folsom street.
AS upon good pavements depends the pleas
nre and utility of cycling, the committee hopes
for large and imposing parade and thereby
show the wheelmans' interest In good roads.

Mrs. Mclean.
Was this dance the muscle dance?

Mrs. Mclean.
Was this dance the muscle dance?
don't know; 1 didn't see it.
1t was called the muscle dance, wasn't it?
Yes, or it might have been called an obscene
dance.
Mr.. Watt didn't deny that he had taken Mrs.
Mclean to that dance?
No; he was very frank about it.
What arrangement was made about Watt and
Mrs Mclean?
That they should separate and remain away
from each other.
Didn't Watt say that Mrs. Mclean was en-
amored of him?
No, sir
To what church do you and Mr.. Watt belong?
1t has no name.
Well, what do you call 1t?
We just take the names the Scriptures give
us-Christians or believers.
But how do you speak of your church?
Christians gathered in the name of the Lord.
What do you call yourselves?
Sometimes Christians, sometimes brothers,
sometimes saints.
What is your position in that church?
No position; we are all the same.
Have you a minister?
No, sir. No paid minister.
Any one who usually breaches to you?
No one regularly.
Do you preach?
Yes; sometimes.
Did George Watt preach?
few times.
Was he not an evangelist in your society?
Like all the rest of US.
On printed matter of this society has not
the name of Mr.. Watt appeared as an evan
gelst?
Yes, sir. Amy one who goes to preach for us
is an evangelist.
Was he not suspended on account of the
troubles with Mrs. Mclean?
No, sir.
Has he preached since for you?
No. He hasn't asked and he has not been
invited.
Then the case went back again to the
Midwinter Fair.
How many times did Watt take Mrs. Mclean
to the muscle dance?
Twice, think.
What did he say abouti it?
He said it was so bad that they wouldn't sit
through it.
But still they went back second time?
And without an answer to the question
the case closed for the day.

taken indiscriminately from four different Dor
lions of the foundation by the university ex-
cent, and in the case of the best 80 per cent
above the average concrete of that age. All
the authorities give the average crushing
strength of concrete six months old at sixty
five tons per square foot. The poorest block
taken from the foundation exceeded eighty
nine tons and the best 119 tons; this, together
with the fact that the arches were tested with
steam roller to the extent of 10000 pounds
per square foot, or 120 times the possible super
imposed load due to passengers, is an evidence
of good work.
In closing will state without fear of contra
diction that there are few if any cases of Gov.
eminent or public contracts involving the ex-
pendfture of $340, 900 where in the final settle
ment the amount paid for the same, as in this
case, was SIT 900 less than the original con-
tract price. The difference is almost invari-
ably the other way.
President John McMullin of the San
Francisco Bridge Company was in attend.
ance on the board yesterday regarding the
final payment of the contract price for the
foundation construction. The question of
the responsibility of the expense incurred
by the storage of cement while the work
was under way was discussed. Mr.. Nc
Mullin held that his company was DELAYED
by the former Board of Harbor Commits
sioners, which was in turn delayed in pre-
pairing the sites for the proposed work.
Attorney Ford was appealed to, and an
swered that if McMullins statement was
correct the board was responsible for the
cement storage, but he wanted until next
Thursday to decide.
Mr.. Colnon stated afterward that there
was no question as to the justice of the
Spreckels bill for the storage. That had
been paid by the board when presented,
but the question was, Who is responsible
Tor the expense the State or the bridge
company? II believe, myself" said he,
that the unavoidable delay in getting
ready for the contractor to proceed throws
the responsibility on the State and not on
the bridge company. But 1, for one, want
to be sure
The report of A. Page Brown, architect,
was taken up, and upon motion was laid
on the table. Mr.. Colnon stated that he
did not consider that Mr.. Brown had any
connection with the board, and conse-
quently that his report could not be re-
ceiyed

these questions and there seems to be no
more evidence that she can give. will
have to shut off this examination right
here"
The attorney volunteered to change his
course of inquiry but Judge Hebbard was
determined.
mo, sir" said the Judge, "this has gone
far enough"
And then the little girl who had pa
tiently and bravely gone through the or
deal stepped down from the witness-chair,
and with flushed face made her way as
quickly as possible through the gaping
crowd and out of the courtroom.
Charles Montgomery, the hotel man,
was called to testify about Evangelist
Watt, and he declared that the preacher
was i'll in the hotel at times when he was
declared by the detectives to be out stroll
ing with Mrs. Mclean. He contradicted
the plaintiffs testimony in several par
ticulars.
Mr.. Montgomery said that Mr.. Watt
had told him about the trouble with the
McLeans and that the matter had been
submitted to him as referee. He caused
hearing to be given before two Christian
men.
Attorney Watt asked:
Who were the Christian men?
Mr.. Monroe and myself.
You were one of them?
Yes.
Did you reprimand Mr.. Watt?
We reprimanded him for going to the Turk
ish dance
That was dance at the Midwinter Fair?
Yes.

great deal of the plaintiffs testimony and
withstood rigid cross-examination. Then
she broke down.
"That is all, )" said the plaintiffs attor-
ney when his inquiries were ended.
The woman had buried her face in her
hands, and she did not move.
THAT is all, Mrs. Rodgers" said one of
the attorneys for Mrs. Mclean.
'You may CO." the latter attorney re-
peated again, but still the witness re-
NAMED in her chair.
Clerk Fitzgerald turned to the woman
and he saw that she had tainted. He and
others carried her to the anteroom, where
in half an hour the witness recovered suf-
ficiently to be removed to her home in a
carriage.
The next witness was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean, bright and modest
girl of IA or Is years. This child was ques-
toned at great length about her mothers
acquaintance with Mr.. Watt, the evangel-
ist. The manner of the attorneys was
fered through the inquiry, and finally
Judge Hebbard put an abrupt stop to that
part of the proceedings.
"Did your mamma say she had been
away with Mr.. Watt?' asked one of the
attorneys for the girls father.
mo, SIR"
Ibid she say she had been anywhere
with him?'
''No, SIR"
''Did she say where she had been with
him?'
mo, sir"
''Did she say she had been in the street.

No, SIR"
Here Judge Hebbard broke in and said:

stand for two hours. She has answered all

THE FERRY FOUNDATIONS,
Harbor Commissioner CoInOn Uses His
Blue Pencil on Southern Pa
cif1c Company's Order.

Harbor Commissioner CoInon Uses His
Blue Pencil on Southern Pa
cific Company's Order.
The Board of Harbor Commissioners
yesterday sat down quite hard on the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company. That
corporation had notified the Morton
Transfer Company, which has little Office
on the Oakland ferry wharf, that on and
after September 1 said little Office would be
closed, and Superintendent K. A. White
nailed up the door. Morton, who pays
rent to the State, sent the notification to
the Commissioners.
President Colnon took his pen in hand
and wrote under Mr.. Whites mandate
that the State of California considered that
as a tenant the Morton Transfer Company
was equal in every way to the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company and could not
see WHY the latter assumed any jurisdic-
ton over the former. That point rested
with the Harbor Commissioners.
The office was unlocked and the transfer
company is there yet.
Chief Engineer Howard G. Holmes made
his final report regarding the completion
of the ferry foundations. Commenting
upon the magnitude of the work he says:
First-This piece of concrete, pile and grillage
work is undoubtedly one of the largest if not the
largest in the known world (embodying as ii
does the removal of some 5000 old and sub
merged piles and the use of 5000 new piles,
80 900 cubic yards of concrete and 10000
barrels Of cement), and considering that in the
course of construction 100000 900 people have
passed to and fro over the same, that on an
average $50 men have been employed continu-
ously for the past two years, that there has not
been an accident of any kind whatever; and
with ferry-boats making quarter-hourly trips
from the front of said locality, that have not
been delayed one minute or lost single trip
during this time speak for themselves.
Second-That out of the sc, 900 barrels of ce-
ment actually used in the work there was not
single barrel of the same but what was found
to be fully up to the standard. 1t is also true
notwithstanding whatever may be said to the
contrary, that the tests of the concrete blocks

dence and the Judges charge were both
against Seaman, but the jury came to the
five years in San Quentin-was altogether
too severe punishment for the crime.
At one time the jurors stood zine to
three for conviction, and sent to Judge
Morrow for the law governing the case.
His Honor told them to come into court
and he would instruct them. This the
Jurors refused to do, and, after being out
three hours, they brought in verdict OF
not guilty.
Seaman lives at 81 Filbert street. He is
better known as Pop" and at one time
was quite wealthy. Jones is the leader OF
the Welsh colony in San Francisco, and is
also well known. The latter owed Seaman
some money, and wrote postal card re-
hectlng upon Jones' ability to pay his gro
ceryman.

moons. These eclipses come on time, he
said, though they appear to be sixteen and
half minutes late. This apparent short
age was due to the distance which must be
travelled by light before the calculation
can be made. Dr. Warren also told of the
length of time it required for light to reach
the earth, comparing it with the speed of
cannon ball. which travels at the rate of
1000 feet second. The seven forces max
ing up the white light were explained and
the speed with which each color travels.
A reception will be given DR.. Warren at
the Central Methodist Church on his return
from the Southern California conferences.
September 20 is the date selected.

SAUSAL|TO'S CAY CLUBS,
They Incurred the Wrath of the
Town Council and Will
Be Warned.
Selling Liquor to -MemberS-A
Protest Against Certain
improvements.

There was nearly divorce between
Sausalito and her many gay clubs at the
meeting of the Town Council last evening.
J. w. Sperry stated that complaint had
been made to him that the San Francisco
Yacht Club had been selling liquor to nom
members. Two saloon-keepers commended
that it was an injustice to them to have
their customers taken away from them.
Commodore Harrison stated that the COM
plant was well founded, but that the
trouble was that the club had been unable
to properly restrict the steward.
After much heated discussion General
Dickinson, president of the council, arose
and said that If Sausalito desired to drive
the clubs away the Trustees could proceed
to license them. Such course was not
required by law, and clubs in San Fran
cisco were not licensed.
This threat had it's effect, for after some
further discussion it was decided that the
stewards of the various clubs should be
formally warned not to exceed their priyi-
leges under pain of being licensed.
There was also considerable friction over
certain projected Improvements. COM
munication addressed to citizens COM
mittee by 20 property owners on California
street was received protesting against
Improvements on that street. The grounds
of the protest were that it would be an
opening wedge for a scheme which threat
ened to contiscate property. The chair
man of the citizens committee had re-
fused to present the communication to the
board for the reasons of the statement in
the communication, and also because OF
footnote to the effect that certain property
holders whe had bought the land at bed
rock prices were now trying to prevail on
their neighbors to pay for the improve
ments.
The communication was considered an
insult by the board, but when it was
learned that Con O'Leary had handed it to
the clerk it was decided to receive and
place 1t on file as an evidence that some
people did not wish their property i'm
proved. Mr.. O'Leary said that be did not
know of the footnote. General Dickinson,
president of the board, defed any one to
prove that there was any scheme to con-
tiscate property.
Another protest against improving
Water street, from Ell Monte lane to john
son street, on the ground that it was un-
necessary at present, was allowed.
A resolution by J. w. Sperry that all the
property. holders whose fences extend into
the street should have them removed pro-
voked lively discussion. The matter
was postponed to the 18th inst.
The clerk was ordered to notify all pro-
testants against the closing of certain
street through the Pacific Yacht Club
grounds that they would be heard on the
10Th inst.
The matter of establishing the grade on
Caledonia and Easterly streets was also
carried over to the 10Th inst, to which
GATE the meeting adjourned.

Claims for Overtime Will Be Investi

Claims for Overtime Will Be Investi-
gated Before Being Paid.
The letter-carriers in the Postoffice are
under surveillance, and they do not like it.
Oscar Austen has been sent out from
Washington, and either he or one of his
deputies is now in the City. The reason
of their being here is the claim of 81, 5OO,-
600 against the Government made by the
carriers throughout the United States.
In 1887 the free delivery law was amended.
Up to that time the carriers worked until
the mail had been finally handled. When
Congress passed law making eight hours
days work the overtime began to pile
up, and soon claims amounting to a
million and a half had accrued. Just
how much necessity there was for this
overtime the Government wants to find
out, and that is why Mr.. Austen is now on
the coast.
