THE CAPTAIN CENSURED.
No Quarantine Flag Was Flying on the
City of Sydney,

No Quarantine Flag Was Flying on the
City of Sydney.
The Board of Health at its meeting yes
terday adopted motion censuring the
captain of the steamer City of Sydney for
coming into port after his recent voyage
from Panama, during which smallpox had
been on board, without flying the yellow
Jack to warn the community that danger
of infection existed. A coal-passer, James
Brophy, had been put ashore at Acapulco
suffering from smallpox contracted at
Panama.
A resolution was adopted compelling
residents of the Richmond district to con-
meet all branch sewers with the main sewer
as soon as possible.
A number of persons owning property
on San Carlos avenue, which runs in the
rear of the new Y. NJ. c. A. building, were
present to protest against stable situated
on the avenue, which they claimed was a
menace to the health of the neighborhood
on account of its filthy condition and the
foul odors which constantly arise from it.
The Health Officer was ordered to investi-
gate.
Roach & Donohoe own the stable. They
claim that the stable is not nuisance, and
that the property owners are prejudiced
against them because they are unable to
find tenants for their unoccupied houses
They have occupied the present premises
for number of years, and no complaint
has ever been made against them before.
They conduct hack business.

was only last month that the owner ac-
quired a clear title to his purchase.
The building he proposes to erect will be
a stable covering the entire property, 100
feet nine inches in width and lis feet in
depth. On Clay street the lower portion of
the structure will be filled in with stores,
and the Merchant-street side will be fitted
up as blacksmithing and horseshoeing
shops.
The low, rambling shanties which now
do service for stores, saloons and the like
all have histories extending to a point fur
Their back than ''when the water came up
to Montgomery street" They were origi-
nally built on piles in over sixty feet OF
water, and for long time have been set
thing with the made ground and old age.
But the occupants have sold whisky, ships
stores and nearly everything else for years,
and fain would do so for years to come.
The progressive landlord raised the rents
all along the line from $50 to $500 month,
and this took the profit out of the business.
So all have concluded to move and make
way for the car of progress and the brick
pile.
At "a Clay street John Oppenheim has
thrived as an outfitter for years, sending
many whaler and sealer away to the
northern seas radiant in the possession of
'hand-me-down." Before Oppenheim' 8
time. when his store stood on piles and
was approached by boat, the prosaic name
of John Smith hung above the door.
Smith was well known to the early settlers
as one of the substantial men of old Yerba
Buena. He made money fast in the
golden days, but the Comstock drained
him and left him pauper in the declining
years of life. Domestic infelicity, in addi-
ton to his financial troubles, urged him to
shuttle off this mortal coil, and one morn
ing he wound up his earthly affairs with a
dose of poison.
A few doors to the east of Oppenheim' s
is the wholesale grocery-house of J. Cum
ningham. The latter has been tenant
there for only dozen years or SO, but in
the days of old the place was known as
''the Indian Queen" and was one of the
most notorious gambling hells in the city.
Many fortune was won and lost in the
gilded halls when Tom Young posed as the
proprietor, and many life went out with

city. Yon never wooed the tickle goddess,
but he often sampled the liquid delicacies

"and hat been round ever since"
Commercial street, according to this in
terestlng chronicler of early days on the
water front, was then known as Long
wharf, and one crossed the streets either in
boat or on plank stretched from wharf
to wharf
Old Bob Llewellyn was on the front in
those days, and he was in the wholesale
grocery business with Daniel Mcmillan in
1856, and afterward went into the saloon
business in the building which he now &C.
cupies.
In the twenty-nine years he has been
dispensing liquors there has never been a
row nor an arrest in his place. His has
been famous resort in its time, and Gov
errors were not too good to drink from his
plain deal counter. Lawyers and politi-
clans of note have hobnobbed there, and
many quiet scheme has been Matched
within the homely four walls of the saloon.
Llewellyn stood high in the community
when good men were scarce and the late
Governor Haight wasss not too proud to
touch glasses with him over his bar in
after days All the old-timers knew Bob,
and when the late w. G. Irwin was Gov
ernor he patronized the humble hosiery
for the good liquor it contained.

leg. Weigel was originally manager of
Hayes Park and first brought out the
well-remembered Buisley brothers, aero

A balloon ascension was the exciting
event of the day every Sunday then, and
Weigel raked in the shekels thick and
fast. Like many other Californians, Wei
gel had too many friends and his earn
ings dribbled away, and he wandered back
to the water front. He went as mate on

MICHAEL HENDY MISSING,
The Strange Disappearance of a Special
officer.

The disappearance of Michael Hendy,
special officer at the racetrack, was reported
at police headquarters last night. He
reached his home, 1415 Polk street, on Sat
urday evening about 6 o'clock, and two
hours later went out saying he would be
back in few minutes. Since then his
family has not seen or heard of him.
Some days ago Hendy took sword-ca
from the house, remarking that he was
going to take it to the racetrack to show to
some friends. Yesterday afternoon the
sword-cane was found in the sand dunes
behind the racetrack. This has given rise
to the suspicion that he may have stabbed
himself with the sword and staggered
about the sand dunes till he fell and
breathed his last. A careful search of the
dunes will be made to-day.
Hendy was about 40 years of age, and
had a very fair complexion and sandy
mustache. His family cannot understand
why he should remain away from home
much less take his own life.

PEPSA LULA MENUS.
An Indian Maiden Takes a Free Ride
From Sacramento.


An Indian maiden with red shawl over
her shoulders and wearing tawdry dress
covered with straw was found wandering
along the water front yesterday by Police
man O'Malley. He took her to the Harbor
police station, and from there to the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. There he was advised to walk
with her to the City Prison, where she was
booked for some public institution.
The girl gave her name as Pepsa Lula
Menus, and said she was II years of age
She was born in Sacramento, but both of
her parents were dead. She wanted to
come to San Francisco, but, not having
any money, she could not crafty her de-
sire. Finally she hid herself in freight
car and reached the city yesterday morn
ing She had no idea what she would
like to do, now that she was here.
Last night Secretary Frank Kane of the

Cruelty to Children took her from the
prison and placed her in the Girls' Di-
