II. Shaw will arrive from the East this
morning and be met at Oakland by num-
Der of ladies of this city.
The bringing of these two celebrated
women to the congress from the far East is
regarded by the leaders of the movement
as an achievement worthy of more than
passing notice. 1t shows that the women
of the coast are determined to have the
benefit of the best counsel procurable in
their aspiration for moral, social and intel
lectual improvement. They are bound to
enforce their claims for recognition, and
by calling into requisition the wisdom and
experience OF these advocates of woman S
equality, expect to accomplish much in the
way of the advancement of their cherished
theories toward success.
The correspondence from all parts of the
State during the last week is in evidence
of the widespread interest taken in the
congress and is guarantee OF much
larger attendance than that OF last year.
Many women have written that they
lived the last year on the memory of the

first congress and in anticipation of the
second annual session to be held this
week.
During the year they have sought as
much as lay in their power to disseminate
the new ideas. Innumerable converts have
been made.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper said yesterday:
Letters are coming in from all parts of the
State and coast and the women will be here in
large numbers. One woman writes: al have
been living the whole year on my week in San
Francisco and have been saving to go there
again this session of the congress-"
Such trenchant phrases should show the feel
ing among the women of our country. They
are aroused-they are determined to be up and
doing something for themselves. We are
bringing out here this year two of the most
remarkable women of the age. rich in expert
ence and filed full of love for their sisters.
Susan P. Anthony was the first woman to
stand for women teachers and temperance.
Her life work can be expressed by phrase OF
her own: "I have no time to dip out vice with
q teaspoon, while the wrongly adjusted forces
of society are pouring it in by the bucketfuL'
Anna II. Shaw is another remarkable woman.
The scope of the congress this year is much
broader than it was last year. 1t takes in the
home in its relations TO the individual, the
municipality, the State and the Nation. Its
chief work viii be in eleyating the ideas of
home.
By broadening our field we cannot fail to
The San Francisco call., 1895-05-19

increase the helpfulness of our work. 1t must
be benefit to all women by opening their
eyes to their true sphere in life.
Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw have received
a perfect ovation at all the cities where they
stopped on their way west. AT Cincinnati, St.
Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Leavenworth,
Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Reno
they were received with great acclaim. In
Salt Lake Miss Shaw spoke to 10000 persons in
the Tabernacle. She by the.way, was the first
woman to speak in that grand edifce in the
Mormon stronghold.
On the train Miss Anthony met Mrs. Leland
Stanford, and she writes me that they had q
delightful fellowship. She has often been Mrs.
Stanford's guest in Washington. During the
stay of Miss Shaw and Miss Anthony in this
City they will be the guests of Mrs. A. A. Sar-
gent at 1880 Folsom street. Mrs. Sargent en-
tertained Miss Anthony in Washington, and
also in Berlin while her late husband was
Minister to Germany.
Miss Shaw will occupy the pulpit in DR..
McLeans church, Oakland, tomorrow morning.
In the evening she will deliver sermon in the
First Congregational church on the corner of
Post and Mason streets.
In conclusion Mrs. Cooper said that she
had received letter from Miss Anthony
yesterday stating that she and Miss Shaw
were both in excellent health and in fine
trim" for the labors of the congress.
Mrs. Garrison Gerst, another enthusiastic
supporter of the new movement, said she
thought the congress this year would ac-
complish much good, sayinga ''It is

MRS. HUNTERS DEED.
Prospect of the Speedy Settlement Of
the Controversy Over
Large Estate.


Judge Sanderson yesterday heard con-
tinuation OF the suit of Harmon J. Tilden
and G. L. Tilden, executors of the estate of
David Hunter, against Joar N. G. Hunter,
to quiet title to large amount of prop
erty. The property comprises land at the
following locations:
San Francisco-Pine street and Belden place.
Harlan place and Grant avenue, Grant avenue
and Sutter street, Bush street and Grant ave-
nue., Geary and Larkin streets, Van Ness ave-
nue. and Ellis street, Ellis and Laguna streets;
land in Odd Fellows Cemetery.
Oakiand-Sixth and Jefferson streets, Santa
Clara avenue and Sherman street.
The issue seems to turn upon deed of
gift which Mrs. Hunter declares she OBJ
tanned from her husband, comprising all
the property in controversy. Some inter
esting testimony was introduced yester-
day as to this deed and the case was SUBJ
mitted.
Mrs. Hunter testified that her husband
died on May s, 1893, leaving will dated
March 81, 1893; that on January 8, 1885,
she received deed from her husband, CIV
ing her all his real and personal property
wheresoever situated in consideration of
love and affection. Mrs. Hunter did not
know where the deed was. Her husband
had acknowledged and duly delivered it.
The witness had given it to Attorney Til
den, at that time her husbands attorney,
for safekeeping, and TiIden had refused to
give it back.
Mrs. Hunters attorney admitted that
the deed had been destroyed by Mr.. Hun
ter. Mrs. Hunter did not know that it had
been destroyed.
James Benson, secretary of the Odd Fell
| lows Savings Bank, said that r...Hunter
told him in May, 1890, that he and Mrs.
Hunter had made deeds to each other of
all their respective property, and that the
deeds had been delivered, so that there
might be no trouble.
Mrs. Jennie Lewis, friend of the fam
| lily, corroborated the testimony as to Mr..
Hunter having made a deed of all his
| property to his wife.
Attorney Warren Gregory, representing
the devisees under the will. stated that he,
with Attorneys Payson, Deuprey, Pringle
& Boyd, Mccormack q Donohoe, Stanly,
Hayes & McEneruey, representing other

for sample of the muslin used for band
ages. She got the sample, and few hours
later bolt of bandage muslin was deliv-
cred at the hospital. The driver of the
delivery wagon handed DR.. Somers letter,
which read as follows:
DR.. G. b. Somers-DEAR SIR: saw an article
In my CALL this morning regarding the diff
Guilty OF obtaining bandage muslin. In the
interest OF the hospital l hereby take the
liberty OF sending you a bolt of muslin for that
pdrpose, which l beg you to accept with the
sincere wishes of a friend of the hospital and
charity.
There was no signature to the letter and
the donor is unknown. DR.. Somers was
delighted with the gift, as the supply was
nearly exhausted and there was little
chance of having it renewed,

Ihe Well-Known Singer Gets Judgment
and Execution Against Grace
Church.
Mrs. Eunice Westwater, the well-known
contralto, who, after a long engagement as
| a member of the Grace Church choir, was
suddenly dropped by the new music COM
| mlttee OF the church in last February, has
just won her first victory in the dispute
that followed. At the time OF her unex-
pected dismissal Mrs. Westwater asserted
that specific verbal contract existed be-
tween herself and Rev. DIR. Foute. by which
SIX months notice was to be given by
| either party before the termination OF the
engagement. Quite heated discussion OF
this and other choir matters within the
church followed.
the advice of her husband, Robert
Westwater, employed w. w. Foote and A.
L. Vogelsang to take her grievance to the
courts, and the first legal step was to sue
in the Justices court for the six months
salary claimed
Russell J. Wilson represented Grace
church and requested three contlnuances
of the case, which were granted by the
plaintiff. On last Thursday the time
granted by the last continuance expired,
and as Grace Church had not put in any
appearance by either demurrer or answer
judgment by default was taken for $210
and costs and Mrs. Westwater secured an
execution against Grace Church.
1t is stated that suit for heavy damages
Will be hled in few days in the Superior
Court, and when that suit comes to trial it
is likely that there will be some very in
teresting proceedings.

FLOOD REARRESTED.

On Account of q Blunder His Case Will
Be Again Tried.
John W. Flood, ex-cashier of the Dono-
hoe-Kelly Bank, was arrested by Detective
Anthony yesterday afternoon on three
Superior Court bench warrants charging
him with felony.
Flood was recently sentenced by Judge
Wallace to seven years imprisonment in
San Quentin, but all proceedings in the
case were invalidated in consequence of
Police Judge Joachimsen omitting to sign
the commitments, which were the legal
documents holding Flood to answer before
the Superior Court.
District Attorney Barnes appeared be-
fore the Grand Jury on Friday and at his
request new indictments were found
against Flood, for whose arrest bench war
rants were issued.

STOOD A HEAVY STRAIN.
A Practical Test Is at Last
Made on the Ferry
Foundation.
Running a TWelve-Ton Roller Over
::the Concrete-An Extraordl-
nary Pressure.

1t was proved beyond doubt yesterday
that the ferry foundation is solid enough
to hold over 120 times the required weight
according to plans and specifications.
An immense roller weighing more than
25, 900 pounds was kept constantly running
over the foundation for two hours, and if
there was a cracked arch or a weakened
pier it could not be located.
The great machine was run over couple
of two-inch planks and the entire weight
dropped from the planks on to the con-
crete.
Professor Soule was.under the arch upon
which the roller was dropped, but not the
slightest movement was perceptible and
not speck of dust fell upon the professor.
The work of tunneling the pier is still in
progress, the center not having yet been
reached. The tunnel is two feet in width
and three feet in height.
The profess ors will say nothing of their
|, findings, but State Engineer Holmes is
highly jubilant.
The concrete is better even than dared
hope" said Mr.. Holmes yesterday, ''and
the report of the professors will show how
far former experts carried the work of ex-
porting. There has not been an assertion
made against the work which has been
boorne out-in fact, which has not been
disproved. Mr.. Stilwell wanted to make a
| test of the concrete by putting on it four
or five times the amount it was supposed
to support. This morning the experts put
| 120 times the required amount of weight
on the foundation and it stood the test. On
| the main roller of the machine is concen-
trated in an area of inches in width and S
| feet in length Il, 900 pounds and this means
pressure of 10000 pounds to the square

test, for advocated it long time ago.
| "Mr. Moore said the arches were
cracked, but that test doesn't look much
like it. Professors Soule and Marx have
picked up pier Is to tunnel, and they have
| been surprised at the hardness of the con-
crete, and they expected to be through
with 1t before this, but it has kept them
busy sharpening their drills.
Mr.. Marx told me that he testified be-
fore the Grand Jury that the concrete,
Judging from the samples that he had
taken out, was Of an inferior quality. He
says now though that that statement is
not Dorne out by actual experience I

MEMORIAL DAY PARADE.
Meeting of the General Committee
From G. A. r. Posts-An Ora
tor Wanted.

The Memorial day committee, consisting
of representatives of the local posts of the
G. A. R., met at department headquarters,
st. Ann's building, last evening to give
finishing touches to the programme of
memorial exercises May 80. There was
good attendance throughout the evening
and Chairman J. III. Banfield dispatched
the business in hand without delay. Com
mittee reports announced that Light Bat
terry D, Fifth United States Artillery, Lieu
tenant Roberts commanding, would fire
minute guns at the cemetery, and that
George A. knight, owing to business en-
gagements, could not accept the Office of
orator. The League of the Cross Cadets
accepted the committees invitation to join
the procession May 30 and the ladies of
Garfield Relief Corps promised to assist in
the decorations.
Invitations to join the parade were
ordered to be sent to the Swiss sharp
shooters, Swiss rifles, Eintrach rifle section,
French Zouaves, Garibaldi Guards, Italian
sharpshooters, JuareZ Guard, Schutzen
Verein and Lafayette Guards.
A point was raised by a comrade that
some of the members of these armed
organizations did not want to test the
law.

chairman; II understand there is no

one suggested that William S. Barnes,

that Mr.. Barnes would not care to be asked
now that George A. knight had been first
invited.

mind of the State and coast"
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson said:
The majority of women are either house
keepers or house-servants. Like the man who
could not see the forest for the trees they can
not see the home on account OF the housework.
The business of life is in making homes and
training children. We want to give the women
a stronger perception that they cannot keep a
home properly unless they know something
outside OF it. Home is too often only pace TO
eat and ma Sleep ana our hnsbsnds m no = thers
should find there.
The scope of the congress is much greater,
and look for grand and enduring results from
the coming session.

How Many?

Some of the local school children
are propounding the following to
their friends: A market woman be-
ing asked how many eggs she had,
answered: IF you empty the basket
by taking out two at time there
will be one left; take out three at a
time, and one.:will hepleft; take either
four five or six, at a.time and one will
be left; but take out seven at time
aud none will remain" How many
eggs had she? The only answers
that have yet come in make the
smallest number 301 and so on up to
interminable millions, but objection
is made that no woman's basket could
hold SO many eggs. Perhaps she pre-
yaricated.
