Miss jacobson Denies Any Extended
Acquaintanceship With Robber
Furnald.

Miss Mignon Jacobson, who was referred
to in the account published yesterday of
the arrest of George Young for being i'm
plicated in the Jacobson diamond robbery,
as having received the attentions of Walter
Guy Furnaid, an accomplice of Young,
denied that Fnrnald ever made love to her.

for more than ten minutes, and under cir
Gums ances that would hardly permit of
even friendly standing between us let
alone one of more intimate character,
such as would permit of love-making.
''At that time there was living with US a
young lady named Miss Abrahams, whom
Robert Heyneman was visiting: One even

indignant and piquant toss of her head.

AN mex HAUST|BLE WELL,
The Proprietor Of the ST.
Nicholas Hotel Claims to
Have One.
A Saving of $1,000 a Month by
Using Artesian Water Instead
of City.

In their search for evidence that an in
exhaustible supply of artesian water exists
beneath the streets of the City or at least
within easy reaching distance, the officers
of the Union for Practical Progress, which
is pushing the proposition for special
election on the question of municipal
ownership of waterworks, is meeting with
great success.
They have found that in nearly every
large hotel and public building in the City
artesian water pumped from beneath the
structures is used either wholly or in part.
The water varies in quality in different
localities, the water of wells bored near the
old water front being more or less brackish
while that of wells on the higher levels IS
pure and clear.
In all the wells, however, the supply is
ample and immense quantities are used
every day at the Palace, Lick Baldwin
and ST. Nicholas hotels and in the Mills,
Croker and other public Office buildings.
In some localities of the City where
property-owners own large blocks of
houses they have sunk wells and supply
their tenants at rates far below what they
would have to pay to the Spring Valley
Company.
The most notable instance among the
hotels is the st. Nicholas, where every
drop OF water used in the building comes
from single we'll bored 200 feet below the
surface of Market street.
James Doolittle, one of the proprietors
of the hotel said yesterday that the we'll
had been the means of saving him $1,000
per month on his water bills, and that he
had never seen better water.
This well" he said, ''is six inches in
diameter, and We pump O four-inch stream
out of it for an average of twelve hours per
day. We supply this entire block with
water under our lease and pump at least
80, 600 gallons per day.
Strange as it may seem, this does not
seem to lower the water in the well par
ticle, and at times when we have desired
to test the capacity of the well and have
run the pump to the full capacity of the
engines it has not had the slightest effect
on the level of the water.
The we'll is about 200 feet deep and the
tube through which the water is drawn
goes down 40 feet. The water rises nat
urally to within is feet of the surface and
never varies an inch in wet or dry seasons.
This shows that there is plenty Of water
there.
THE water is ice cold when it reaches
the surface and is quite soft, being much
better for all purposes than City water, and
we have the latter piped into the house to
be used in case our pump should break
down or any other accident happen to rem
der the we'll useless, but it has never been
used since 1 came into the house, and l
Judge from my bills for power and from
what have heard of the Baldwin supply
that the difference to US is about $1,000 per
month.
1.-The Baldwin also uses artesian wells

THAT INOENDIARY ATTEMPT.
No Discovery Yet of the Dive Theater
Firebug.


The incendiary who tried to burn down
the dive theater at 215 Montgomery avenue,
adjoining which is the New Atlantic Hotel
with about $50 dodgers, has not yet been
discovered.
Fire Marshal Towe and detective have
b cen investigating the work of early Sun
day morning and can only find one motive
for the act--that of spite. They first
thought the attempt to fire the place
was made to conceal some worse
crime, but there is nothing to show that
such was the case.
The theater safe was opened, but as Mrs.
Josephine Dupree, the properties, leaves
nothing in it over night there was only dis
appointment to be met with as reward
for opening it. Some wine and most of
box of cigars were taken, but that was all
the house missed.
There is curious coincidence in the fact
that the place was entered and the safe
opened almost two weeks ago in pretty
much thesame way.
Mrs. Dupree says she discharged white
waiter, named Clyde, about two weeks ago,
or rather that he left because he did not
receive promise of the compensation he
demanded. This man came to her with
letter from Stockton.

AT Odd Fellows Hall last night the liter
airy and musical entertainment, conclud-
ing with grand ball, under the auspices
of Mexican socieries-Circulo de Senoras,
Club Porfirio Diaz and Guardia de Juarez-
commemorating the eighty fifth anniver-
sary of the independence of Mexico, was a
pronounced and brilliant success.
The hall was tastefully and profusely
decorated. Mexican and American flags
were artistically draped around the stage
Long streamers of red, white and green
depended from above the center of the au-
ditorium, among which were hung large
Japanese lanterns, and in every nook and
corner were set palms and dollhouse plants.
The musical and literary progr ANNE
was as follows:

NEW BATTLEsHIPS.

The Navy Department viii Not Invite
Proposals Before Next December.
The Union Iron Works received adviees
from Washington yesterday that the
plans for new battleships had not been
completed, and therefore proposals for
building the ships would not be invited
before next December.
George. w. Prescott of the firm said that
contracts for constructing gunboats would
be awarded sooner and that the Union Iron
Works would bid for contract.
q Henry T. Scott expects to leave San
Francisco for Washington this week and
represent the firm in presenting bids for
building gunroats.

"Some idea of the magnitude of the

be gained from the fact that one man who
fishes for them on False River took 149

in the San Francisco market"

The trustees of the Academy of Sciences
adopted two amendments to their constitution
last evening, both in regard to the use of the
finances by the trustees. The funds in excess
of expenses may be invested in bonds-State,

stricted TO merely real estate. Investments of
various nature may be made by the trustees
upon unanimous vote of that body.
