THE UNLUCKY BAWNMoRE.

was demonstrated by the melting of lead
pipe which rested five feet from where
Llewellyn was standing. The pipe was
five inches in circumference and three
eighths OF an inch thick. The young APP
prentice stood between this metal and the
pipe from which the gas arose.
Assemblyman Llewellyn, a brother of
the injured apprentice, said yesterday that
some one would have to pay for the acct
dent. Under the impression that the
steamer was going away for good, Mr..
Llewellyn was going to libel the
Bawnmore yesterday, but when he
learned that she was under charter
to Grace & Co. he announced his intention
of suing the charterers. The Llewellyns
are from Los Angeles, where David re-
ceived a college education. Having devel-
oped taste for mechanics at an early age,
when he completed his education several
months ago he came to San Francisco and
entered the Union Iron Works to learn the
business from the foot of the ladder. His
family is very highly esteemed in Los An
geles and Dave is a great favorite at the
works.
Captain Woodside of the Bawnmore said
yes terday that the accident was no fault of
his, as he had warned the foreman not to
allow light in the interior OF the vessel.
81 have notices all over the ship" said
the captain, warning people not to smoke
on board, and | repeated this warming to
Foreman Kingsman and told him also not
to permit any of the men to take any lights
inside the vessel"
The Bawnmore will sail for Talara Bay
tomorrow night.

and the application had been made for its
probate several days after it had been lost.
The fact that q paper was put in the GUS
tody of the County Clerk did not bring it
before the court, and until then 1t had not
been filed, within the meaning OF the law.
Again, he said, while the County Clerk
had made affidavit that he had made every
endeavor to recover the lost will, there was
not one word as to the moving parties
themselves or what they had done, and
this was their motion and not Mr.. Curry's.
Now the question was, how could paper
be restored to the files that had not been
on file, and how could a substitute be used
instead of an original will to which the
witnesses have signed?
Mr.. McEnerney in brief reply declared
that Mr.. Whee1er's doctrine was revo-
lutionary in the extreme. If it were good
law or good procedure, then the proce-
dure since the courts were instituted was
all wrong. He would like to know, he
said, how the gentleman would obtain a
certified copy of a builders contract or any
other document filed in court. The will
had been produced and given into the Gus
tody of the court. The will is not now in
court-it has been distracted or stolen
through 10 fault of theirs, but that of the
court, and they desired to submit certi-
fed copy. Now new element entered
into the case. Judge Paterson, appointed

terests of the absent and minor heirs,
rose up and said that he thought
the time had arrived when they should be
heard. The case so far had discovered but
two interests in conflict. AS representing
the minor heirs Judge Paterson said he
felt an unusual responsibility. He and
Mr.. Percy, representing the other heirs,
had been silent thus far because the con-
test had been mere matter of procedure,
but now he thought he should call upon
the court to do something speedily by way
of perfecting the record. The will had
been in court, and was now there, he said,
as much SO as though it were in the boxes
of the County Clerk. He demanded also
that they, as attorneys for great interests,
should receive notice in regular form in all
future moves.
Wheeler replied, saying that they too
desired that something be done; that wit
nesses be called to prove the will.
Judge Slack said he would fix next
Saturday at P. NJ. as a time to render his
decision and hear any further motion in
the matter

SENATOR PERKINS At HOME.
He SPEAKS OF THE WORK OF THE
SESSION JUST ENDED IN
WASHINGTON.
REILLY BILL MAY Nor BE
DEAD.

United States Senator George G. Perkins
is back from Washington, having returned
yesterday, and was seen at his Vernon
Heights home in Oakland last night. Sen
ator Perkins said he was always glad to get
home and that he was weary. Although
the session of Congress just over had been
a short one, there was great rush of work
at the last, and members departed for
home glad to be relieved of the tedium OF
public matters.
He talked freely on public affairs, touch
ing particularly on matters pertaining to
coast affairs. He spoke of the appropria-
ton made for naval improvements on the
Pacific Coast, on the defeat of the funding
bill, but he said he anticipated the Reilly
bill in the next Congress probably with
another name in another guise. The visit
to the coast of the special railroad commits
sion, of which Senator Brice is chairman,
was mentioned. This commission will
have for its object an inquiry into the
feeling of the people of the coast toward
the railroad company.
The Senator also spoke OF his own bill to
investigate economic matters, particularly
the differences existing between labor and
capital.
In the main Senator Perkins talk was
devoted to bimetallism and the forthcom-
ing international monetary conference to
be held in this country: He expects much
good to come of it. and said he had noted
among statesmen in Congress the growth
of the sentiment on this all-important
subject He said that in bimetallism
was the country's greatest hope.
Both gold and silver must be
given an equal chance. He, in common
with others, saw the mistake of the extr,.
session of Congress and noticed the great
strides being made toward both gold and
silver among Leading mlnds; Inc dele
gates to the conference as selected by the
Senate and House were commended, and
Senator Perkins thought that the three
men to be chosen by the President would
make delegation that would finally settle
the vexed financial problem on bimetal-
lie basis.
sThe contraction of the currency is, no
doubt, responsible for much of the panic
through which the country is passing"
he said, ''and l, in common with many
others of my colleagues, see wherein the
two metals can be made to help one an
other and bring relief to this country and
other countries, for all must join hands, as
all feel alike the evils of a single standard.
The mistake of President Cleveland"
he said clay in repeating the Sherman
purchasing clause Internationally. There
should have been something given the
people IN its stead. The leading men of
New England and the East who were with
the President in that move now see where
in an error was made, and the times in
stead of growing better have continued to
grow worse by the contraction"
In speaking of the proposed valley road
Senator Perkins spoke with some enthusi-
asm. He said it would be splendid thing
for the State and would help business in
many ways.

woman, drawn at the time of settlement

Judge Slack has promised to fix efinite
point IN the Fair will case by next Satur-
day. mat is so much anyhow.
Mr.: Wheeler did all the talking for the
Charley Fair side of it yesterday, and he
ought to be proud of having thus drawn
line on the horizon, if nothing more.
McEnerney, as the active agent for the
Will, OF course has right to share OF this
honor-and perhaps Judge Paterson, who
made no speech but simply rose up IN the

records, broken by the stolen or distracted

lime had been asked to meet the last
motion of Mr.. McEnerney, which was for
will to the files by way of supplying ga lost
code.
No written demurrer or objection was
filed, but Mr.. Wheeler made a long argu-
ment against 1t. He took the ground that
the will was not on file in the acceptance
of that term known to law; that it was
merely in the custody of the court. Because
some one had left paper with the County
Clerk and said it was the will of Mr. Fair,
and that paper had been stolen, were they
to be allowed to come in and offer what
purported to be certified copy of that pa
per and present it as a copy of Mr.. Fairs
will when the original paper had not
been proven as such? There had been no
showing as to the manner of the loss of
the will, Although the matter was notori-
Gus out of court that was not sufficient and
the forms of law must be observed
No law had been presented that
the clerk was authorized to certify
to this paper as the last will of Mr..
Fair. He declared that no motion or &C
ton had been brought which would bring
this will under the jurisdiction of the court

mlnouS COlOrs in imitation of the woven
pictures. That two clever men can come
here from Europe and engage in decorative
art and after a short time build for them
selves home and studio suggesting a villa
in the Riviera country speaks well for San
Francisco.
The new building rests on ground sloping
from the street, and consequently has
three stories in front. It's first story is de-
signed for basement storeroom. At one
side is the entrance, which leads to a front
balcony, where flowers and trailing plants
are to cover the walls and balustrade. Off
this balcony is the hail door, which opens
into the studio. The hall will be covered
with gobelin tapestries and finished in nat
ur3l wood walnscOtlng. a side hall Will
lead from it into the dwelling in the rear.
But above all the studio will be the main
feature, having length of forty feet and a
height running through two stories to a
glass roof shut off from the changing
'sOuth" light. There is a stage working
automatically for use in painting large
pictures and all around abundant oppor-
tunities for decoration and cosy furniture
On the roof will be a garden, with ported
plants and beds OF fragrant flowers, where
the artists may regale themselves on a
warm summer day or evening.
The dwelling will have seven rooms

them open on large apartment intended

be the restlng-place, great open fireplace
at one end, the walls and ceiling
wainscoted in plain redwood and frescoes
and tapestries after famous European pic
lures or decorations in panels.
The front will be finished in stucco.
Two columns stand at either end support

The architect is John v Knoth, who

THE VICTIMS OF
THE EXPLOSION.
FEARS THAT FRED PILGRIM IN
HAILED THE GAS ON THE
BAWNMORE.
A SUIT AGAINST THE SHIP.
LLEWELLYN' BROTHER Is DETER
MINED TO EXACT FULL
DAMAGES.
A SUIT AGAINST THE SHIP

The accident on the oil steamer Bawn-
more has turned out to be more serious
than was at first supposed. Dave Level
lyn, the young apprentice, is still at ST.
Mary's Hospital suffering keenly from his
burned hands and face, but he is entirely
out of danger. 1t was feared at first that
he would lose the sight of both eyes, but
that danger, too, has passed. The act of
keeping his hands over his mouth pre-
vented the gas from entering his lungs.
In consequence his hands were burned to
the bone. Although he is suffering keenly
not whimper is heard from him and he
bears his pain like a hero.
Fred Pilgrim, who pulled young Level
lyn out of the engine-room, is said to be in
bad way. He inhaled the fumes of the
gas and his recovery is still matter of
doubt. He is a man of about 81 years of
age and has wife and two children.
The suffering men blame the engineer of
the Bawnmore for their injuries. Young
Llewellyn says that he asked the engineer
if there were any danger going into the
room, and that the latter had assured
him that everything was all right. The
intensity of the heat after the explosion

ter's Appointments.
Certain army influences, it is said, are
being used at Washington to prevent the
appointment of Colonel Shafter to the
generalship made vacant by Schotield's
promotion to the acknowledgements
and Ruger's promotion to the twin stars.
Shafter is the ranking colonel in the army,
but the friends of Colonel Bliss of the
Twentyfourth Infanty, and of Colonel
David Stuart Gordon of the Sixth Cavalry
would like to see either of them raised
over Skaters head.
The bill prepared by the military COM
mittees of Congress for the reorganization
of the regular army proposes to increase
the number of enlisted men to 10000. The
additional expense would be about $780,
600.
Brigadier-General Forsyth, commanding
the Department of California, was before
his promotion colonel and commandant of
the United States Cavalry and Light Artil-
lery School at Fort Riley, Kansas. He had
been in charge of the institution ever since

standard of excellence. His report of the
work done during the year 1894 has just
been printed and issued to the public.

jumped on passing car to get to his room
with it as quickly as possible. While bending
forward to get the nickel to pay his fare,
he unconsciously pressed with his breast
the hilt of the bayonet, and the point pene-
trated his thigh about an inch or so.
He got off the car and walked to the Re
ceiving Hospital, where his wound was
dressed by DR.. Redding. He was so dis
gusted that he presented the bayonet to
