BLYTHE CASE SENSATIONS
Florence Hinckley Confronted by
a New Contestant for the
Estate.
A Soldier Claiming to Be Her Father
Turns Up Unexpectedly in
England.

The fight over the Blythe estate still
goes on. Attorney Holiday of Lafayette
Park fame, filed a lis pendens yesterday,
which will operate as an obstacle to any
transfer of property in case an order of
distribution is made to Florence Blythe.
He claims to have new and important
evidence, and asserts that he will devote
ell his energies to exposing the alleged
fraud and conspiracy that were used in Sc
curing the decree in favor OF Florence
Blythe for 100000.
Mr.. Holiday contends that Florence
Blythe was the daughter of ]. J. Ashcroft
and not related in any way to Thomas H.
Blythe. Neither did the latter ever ac-
knowledge mis- paternity.
Sensations are promised on all sides.
Henry E. Highton, attorney for Alice
Edith Blythe, is now preparing a bill OF
exceptions and will also ask for an injunc-
ton to prevent the Public Administrators
from paying Mrs. Hinckley Blythe any
money. He will also charge fraud in the
Blythe the heir of the deceased million
aire.
The court will also be asked to reopen
the case.
1t is asserted there is a mysterious letter
to be brought out, purporting that Flor
ence is the daughter of an English soldier,
who is liable to appear here in any moment
to testify. That such letter exists is gen.
orally admitted, though the attorneys are
very tacitnrn on the subject.
1t is also to be set forth in the bill of
exceptions that the father of Florence E.
Blythe is still living, and that fraud was
practiced by the wholesale in securing the
transfer.
The detective firm OF Mcqueen & Co.
of London promises to furnish much val
liable testimony for the contestants of
Florence's claim. 1t is asserted the Lon
don detective firm holds Florence's
father subject to the call of the attorneys.
The complications which have arisen in
the celebrated case freight it with deep
interest. After twelve years the end is
not yet.

Staples; recording and financial secretary, C.
F. Fitzsimmons; treasurer. John Stack; di-
rectors - II. Battue, G. Biebesheimer, o.

After lengthy discussion ON the ques-
ton of marsh preserves and the formida-
BILE stand that is now taken by clubs of

shooting grounds in the State, it was
moved that-a mass-meeting of all sports
men antagonistic TO preserves for duck
shooting purposes be held at Knights OF
Red Branch Hall on Tuesday evening, the
18th inst. at which time measures will be
adopted with view of protecting the in
terests of sportsmen who are now being

CARPENTERS IN THE PARK,
Will Request the Commissioners
to Employ Resident
WOrkmen.
Freshmen Confident of Winning the
Schmidt Strike-Election of Labor
Bureau Officers.

When the Park Commissioners meet
thew Will receive from the District Coun-
Gil of the Carpenters unions communi-
cation and petition with reference to the
construction of the projected new buildings
in Golden Gate Park. At the meeting of
the council last evening it was announced
that the Commissioners propose to erect a
museum, music-stand, etc. 1t was decided
to petition the board to do all in its power
to secure the employment of resident car
penters and other workmen upon these
buildings.
The members of the council contend
that the best workmen who are employed
on any work in this City are residents and
taxpayers of San Francisco, who spend
their money and educate here their chill
dren in the public schools-in other W rds
are first-class citizens.
AS the winter approaches and work be-
comes less easy to obtain the resident car
penters believe that they should be given
the preference over the tramp journeymen
who flock here at this season, especially in
the construction of public buildings which
their taxes help to build.
1t is to enlighten the Commissioners on
the situation and to request that the con-
tracts be let to only responsible contract

money at home that the communication

COAL FOUND IN SON0MA,
DR.. O'Donnell Makes a Rich
Find on His Ranch at
Glen Ellen.
Saws He Will Be Able to Supply San
Francisco With Coal at So so
Ton.

DR.. G. C. O'Donnell expects to supply
San Francisco with coal at 81 so ton.
Up ON the doctors ranch in Sonoma
County, few hundred yards from the
railroad depot at Glen Ellen, a ledge of
anthracite coal has been discovered and it
promises large yield. 1t is over SIX feet
in width and 379 feet in length. Experts
have pronounced the coal of excellent
quality, and overtures have already been
made to DR.. O'Donnell for the purchase of
the mine.
DR.. ODonnell fatty refused all offers
for the property. He will put a large
force of men to work and develop it him.
self. Already he has run tunnel in some
eight feet. A superior quality of coal is
found as the ledge is uncovered, and the
indications are so encouraging that DR..
O'Donnell will set the men to work at an
early day, running a tunnel fifty feet In
width.
"My experts tell me, said DR.. O'Donnell
yesterday, "that the coal from the ledge is
OF high grade, and from tests made, their
reports have been fully verified. l am
satisfied that have coal mine, and II
developments continue as favorable as at
present, l will push the enterprise. and in
this way will be able to give employment
to large number of men.
81 will be able to sell coal from my mine
on the San Francisco market at 81 so ton.
1t will cost about 80 cents ton to mine
the coal and about So cents additional for
transportation. Then there will be other
expenses in handling the coal in the City.
Anyway, | am not anxious TO make a
fortune out of the business but feel that if
I can furnish the people of San Francisco
with coal for fuel at 81 80 ton, I will be
doing some good to the community.
II intend handling the enterprise N.Y.
self, and, though l have received several
offers to sell the mine outright, stock it
and work it jointly with other parties or
sell part of it, have declined to enter into
any combination.
'fThe mine is located on my ranch at
Glen Ellen. 1t is 100 yards from my house
and is on the Sonoma Creek. The depots
of both the North Pacific and the
Southern Pacific are near by. The North
Pacific Railroad will build a spur to the
mine if things turn out as l expect they
will.
"This ledge has been there for centuries.
No person paid any attention to its slate
colored groupings. / thought there was
something of value in it and had it de-
veloped The result is most satisfactory
so much so that am going to run a fifty
foot tunnel"
DR.. O'Donnell is very enthusiastic over
this discovery. He has just returned from
a visit to the mine.

Attorneys Page, Eells and Nc
Cutchen to Unite in
Practice.
WILL GO INTO EFFECT SOON.
The New Firms Name Will Be
Page, McCutchen &
Eells.

The legal fraternity and public in gen.
eral will be interested to learn that part
nership is to be formed on the first of jan
uary between the firm of Page & Eells and
&. j. McCutchen.
This important legal coalition goes into
effect the first of the year, but the new
firm will be installed in its offices on the
ninth floor of the Mills building the mid
die of the present month.
The parties to the new copartnership are
rated among the leading attorneys of the
Pacific Coast. Individually and collective
ly they have been connected with many of
the celebrated litigations of the last fifteen
years.
The firm of Page & Eells was formed in
1881 and since that time the partners have
handled much of the most important legal
business of the coast. Their practice in
cludes nearly half of the maritime reve-
nue. business. Among the most recent
noted cases were those of the Itata and
General Ezeta, the dark-visaged San Sal
vadoran whose exile in this City has fur
nished SO much material for the news
mongers. The firm has also acted for
many of the large landed corporations.
1t is at present the legal representative of
extensive Scotch interest on this coast.
Mr.. Page has resided here since 1870.
His first partnership was with Milton
Andres, a prominent admiralty attorney.
Mr.. EeIls has been a resident of San
Francisco since early boyhood. He prac-
ticed alone up to the time the partnership
was formed in 1881.
e. ]. McCutchen came here nineteen
years ago. He practiced alone for some
time and then became a member of the
firm of Estee, Wilson e. McCutchen. The
partnership was formed in 1887 and was
not dissolved until 1892. Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. McCutchen continued in Joint practice
until the formers death in September, 1893.
Mr.. McCutchen has had very extensive
practice and been connected at various
times with many important litigations.
He is at present the attorney for the Edi-
son Electric Light and Power Company
and represents Lloyd Tevis in many Of his
corporation interests, notably the Kern
County Land Company. He is the attor-
ney for the Hobart and Wilmerding estates
and conducts large part of Mrs. Hearst's
legal business.
One of the noted cases with which he
has been connected of late was that of the
Mulatos mining suit, involving upward of
100000. The action was brought by an
English corporation to set aside the sale.
Alvinza Hayward was in control at the
time.
The new firm name Will be Page, Nc
Cutchen & Eels. The silent partners, so
called, are R. I. Harding, attorney for the
California Title Insurance Company, and
M. f. Michel. now with Mr.. McCutchen.
The new offices on the ninth floor of the
Mills building will be occupied by the firm
about the 18th of the month, though the
partnership will not be formally consum-
mated until the new year.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-05

will be presented 1t is probable that the
Commissioners will be informed of several
cases where migratory workmen have been
employed on City work, who have left
town as soon as they were paid, and
where the work was so poorly performed
that it had to be repaired almost before the
paint was dry.

that the strike had been practically won,
