c. l. CAMERON IS MISSING.
Mysterious Disappearance Of a $4,000
Claimant.
His Attorney Has Lost Him and His
Wife Cannot Locate
Him.

Charles L. Cameron, the cratic indi-
| vidual who has played battledoor and
| shuttlecock between jail and liberty dur
ing the last twelve months, has suddenly
disappeared from the vision of his friends
and acquaintance, and they do not know
where to find him. Some of them care and
some of them do not
Cameron had a suit for $4,000 damages
against T. and G. Thomas, pending in the
United States District Court, for malicious
prosecution. The case was dismissed last
Monday because of the non-appearance of
the plaintiff.
In the latter part of July of last year
Cameron was employed by the Thomas
firm as solicitor of orders for their dyeing
business. He entered into an agreement
to work for commission of So per
cent, which was to be paid to him from
Time 10 time as he reported orders. He
left this city and went to various country
towns, sending orders for work as he went.
Some time ago Cameron wrote to his
employers demanding So SO which, he said,
he had to pay to get out of JAIL as he had
been arrested for soliciting without a
license. The money was sent, and when
later 1t was learned that the story of arrest
was untrue, 4. Thomas had Cameron ar
rested for fraudulent use of the United
States mails. This charge was dismissed,
and Cameron sued for $4,000 damages for
illegal Imprisonment. Cameron was in the
city until last Monday, when he suddenly
disappeared, and his suit against the
Thomas Brothers was dismissed.

HARBoR COMMISSIONERS.
Contractors After Work on the Ne
Ferry Depot.

Ferry Depot.
At the meeting of the Board of Harbor
Commissioners yesterday afternoon, Attor-
ney Johnson appeared before the board in
behalf of the Builders Exchange and pro-
tested against the letting of the contract
for building the new ferry depot to one in
dividual. He thought it would be proper
for the board to advertise for bids for the
different kinds of work performed, such as
brickwork, ironwork, glasswork and so on.
President Bassett said that such had not
been the practice OF the board, and he did
not see why the rule should be changed
now.
1t was finally agreed that the matter
should be submitted to the courts in order
to secure decision, to prevent interference
with the work after it had been commenced.
G. ii. Putnam asked that the dockage on
the British ships Springburn and Lord

NATIVE SONS BUILDING.
Arrangements Made for Laying the
Cornerstone.
Grand President Sproul Has Notified the
Hall Association That He Will
0fGCiate.

The Hall Association of the Native Sons
of the Golden West, representing the par
lors in this city, met in the grand secre-
tary's Office in Pioneer Hall last night for
the purpose of making arrangements for
the laying of the cornerstone of the Native
Sons new building, which will be erected
on Mason street, between Post and Geary.
The ceremonies will be held February %,
at noon, and will be both imposing and
impressive.
Owing to the absence of J. d. Phelan,
the president of the association who is
confined to his room by illness, /. F. By
ington, vice-president, occupied the chair
Some time ago j. d. Sproul, grand presi-
dent, was requested to officiate and lay the
cornerstone of the new building. Last
night communication from Mr.. Sproul
was read to the Hall Association, in which
he stated that he had accepted the invita-
ton and would officiate at the cornerstone
ceremony. He has called a meeting of all
the grand officers, to be held in the grand
secretary's Office Saturday, January 20, at
IL O'Clock, for the purpose of making such
further arrangements as may be deemed
necessary and proper in the premises. The
members of the grand parlor will partici-
pate in the ceremonies.
Last night the Hall Association called a
joint meeting of all the subordinate par
lors In San Francisco, to be held in the

THE BLYTHE MILLIONS.
Another Petition for a Rehearing in
the Case.
The Point Raised That The Two New
Justices Pass Judgment Oh the
Matter Presented.

Henry E. Highton, attorney for Alice
Edith Blythe, filed a brief of fifty-eight
pages with the Supreme Court yesterday
for a rehearing in the famous Blythe case.
The grounds upon which the application
is made are briefly summed up in the fact
that the members of the Supreme Court
who rendered the former decision did not
constitute the Supreme Court in bank.
within the meaning of the constitution and
laws of this State; that the opinion and de-
clslon filed January 2, 1895, is contrary to
the evidence; that the appellant was not a
party TO any former appeal, and that the
presumption in favor of the marriage of the
appellant IS not only ignored, but reversed
Again 1t Is commended that when no por-
ton OF the affirmative case for the appel
liant was before the court she was charac-
terIZed as mistress" and those express
SONS became part of the record of the court
when there was nothing before it to Justify
the lmputation. In the present decision
the same Characterization is repeated there
by holding an American woman before
poster1ty as having spent years of a mere
trlclous life with Thomas H Blythe. and
that such record win be transmitted to
the profession and judiciary unless re-
hearing Is granted.
The brief insists that if it be finally held
that the Chief Justice is disqualified, and
that five Justices constitute the court in
bank for the purposes of the appeal. mas
much as two of the Justices who concurred
in the decision of January 2, 1895, have
since retired from the bench, the appellant
is entitled to have this petition and her en-
tire record considered by both of the JUS
tees who have taken their places.
at would be severe ruling against the
public and profession to hold that party
in interest in pending appeal can in
effect select the Justices before whom he is
willing that the appeal should be heard !;
but this is precisely what can be done if
the Chief Justice is disqualified on this
hearing and the court in bank remains

against ex-Attorney-General Hart, who
acted as the attorney for Florence. The
brief asks: ''Why should he (Hart) be per-

Cameron" said w. H. Beatty, who was
Cameron's attorney. "He was in my of
flee on Sunday, the 18th, and stated that
he would be on hand promptly on the fol-
lowing morning. He seemed very, anxious
to have the case prosecuted for all 1t was
worth. He went out and he never came
back. We offered rewards and MADE all
kinds OF inquiries after him, 6ut Wlth f4!t
avail. He is mysteriously missing. Els
wife is in Santa Rosa. We have conmunl.,
Gated with her. but she knows no more OF
her husbands whereabouts than do we.
He may be dead, perhaps a ioater IN the ne
bay. It is my opinion that the man $
mind has become unbalanced by the eA-
cessive use of stimulants."
He is described as having blonde hair,
blonde mustache and blue eyes.

NO FURRY IN REALTY.
The Volume of Business Light and Yer.
Few Transactions.

The Volume of Business Light and Very
Few Transactions.
Transactions in real estate were very
light yesterday. With the exception of a
few sales by ex-Sheriff Laumeister the vol
ume of business was very small, and the
prices realized were nominal.
Among the Sheriff's sales were lots in
the West End Homestead Association and
the 0'NeIl IL Haley Tract. These proper
ties were bought in by the owners, and in
consequence no estimate as to their real
value can be formed For instance, thir-
teen pieces of land were sold for $40.
Some of the lots in question were on San
Bruno road, others on Hilbert street some
were in the Western Addition and the re-
mainder were scattered all over San Fran
cisco. NJ. C. Hassett was the purchaser of
many of the properties, but in most in
stances he at once transferred his right TO
John Grant.
Many of the acres sold are tide lands.
In consequence of the waterfront dispute
now being tried in Oakland it is more than
probable that nothing will be done with
these unless the city of Oakland loses its
