Legislator Duncan's Tramp.

E. D. Duncan, the member of the Tennessee legislature who has been walking from Washington county, east Tennessee. to Nashville, reached his destination the other day, having been forced by the bitter cold weather to travel by rail the last 30 miles. He says he did not take this tramp for the pur- pose of gathering newspaper notoriety, but to study the life and habits of the mountainers, as he intends writing a novel, and include in it the results of his study and observation.

A Fine Church Edifioe Ruined.

Shortly after the benediction was pronounced at the morning services of the First Baptist church, Chattanooga, Tenn, flames burst with roar through the floor of the auditorium, and the whole interior of the church was soon ablaze. binding snowstorm was raging at the time, and the fire depart ment found it impossible to make any speed over the slippery streets Ar rived at the church, another difficulty presented itself in a lack of water from frozen pipes. The result was that the church was finally ruined. It was the finest Baptist church building in the south, costing about SlOO,O00 Only S20, 900 insurance was carried.

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Florida Fruit Losses.


 Reports from correspondents in the orange districts of Florida indicate that at least 1,s00,000 boxes of un- packed oranges were made masses of Ice Dy the recent cold snap, and more than 30O,000 boxes in warehouses or lylng in bulk preparatory to sorting were frozen. Tomatoes. cabbage. beans, peas and all vegetables in the northern half of the state were ruined, except the pineapple plantations, which were not much injured. Half of this seasons great orange crop of 5,000,000 boxes was still on the trees. The tail of the blizzard switched around through the Florida peninsula, and within the space of a lew hours Florida had sustained a loss that, estimated in money, would reach into the millions. The destruction will De felt for many years, directly or in- directly, by all the people of the state. Previous to this time the coldest weather was known in 1885, but there IS no record to show just how cold it was then.
 Reports from the interior of the state show that the cold weather has been general, and has extended from one end of the peninsular to the other. The lowest temperature at Tampa was IS, and the same was reported at Titus vile. At Cedar Key it was said to be down as low as Is, and at Key West it was down to A. The cold weather played havoc with the plumbing and water supply in Jacksonville. Many people found their water pipes frozen. The occurrence was so unusual that 1t was some time before residents could realize that the water had actu- ally frozen in the pipes. There was ice in shaliaw places, however, and there were icicles everywhere.

Rattlesnake in the Wine Keg.

Near Lebanon, Marion county, Ky. Jared Sparks, farmer, invited his neighbors to a corn-shucking and quilt ing party, which was attended by twenty men and fifteen women. Dur ing the entertainment large keg of blackberry wine was tapped and freely distributed to the guests. Shortly after indulging in the bever- age the participants were seized with acute abdominal pains. A physician was called in, who decided that the af- hicted parties were poisoned, three of whom, Misses Inez Spalding, Ada Wathen and Mr. Arthur Temple have since died, and ten others are danger ously i'll. On an examination of the wine keg the remains of a large rattle snake were discovered. How the venomous reptile found londgment there is unknown.

TREASURE HID IN JUNK.
Gold and JeWelry Worth Hun
dredS of Dollars Among
Old RiVetS.
A STRANGE TALE IN COURT.
The Finders Divided the Spoil and
Aliege They Have
Spent 1t.

Junk-dealers have been known to amass
fortunes in the handling of old iron and
other unconsidered trifes, but the pur-
chase of the precious metals for a mere
song is not usually among the means they
rely upon. Yet such a transaction was
practically executed recently by c. NJ.
Bridges and John NJ. Tanning.
The tale of their strange discovery of
gold to the value of several hundred dol
lars and jewelry among a lot of junk pur-
chased for S25 was told in Judge Slack S
court yesterday. How they kept their dis
covery secret, divided up and spent the
proceeds and then tried to purchase some
more of the same kind of old Junk, was all
drawn gently from their unwilling lips by
the persuasive questions of Attorney John
r. Aitken.
Bridges and Tanning were up on cita-
ton in the matter of the estate of Jacob
Radstone, who died April 8, 1894 leaving
an estate valued at $4,000. Among the
effects of the estate was a quantity of old
iron, rivets, dies, washers and machinery
which the executrix of the estate was en-
powered to dispose of. She was informed
that in a lot of the junk sold to Bridges
and Tanning some property had been dis
truth.
Bridges was the first to take the stand,
and proved an unwilling witness. Finally
he told how he and his partner purchased
the old Junk for $25, and on looking over
the boxes found 1920.
"Where was the money hiddenP" asked
the court
lot of dies, rivets and the like" was the
reply.
Twas there anything else?"
Eyes; there was ring-a gold ring set
with a red stone"
ain what form was the money!
'In gold twenties and other coins. We
found it on March 5 last, having brought
the Junk from a cellar at 226 Turk street to
our premises"
The partners had determined to keep
their discovery secret, but it leaked out
and Detective Lucas was called in to in
vestigate. Bridges said that Lucas trapped
him into an Office under the preteXt that
he wished to talk about some patent rights
in which he was interested. When there
he had been taxed with the discovery of
the treasure, and said that under threats
he had signed an agreement to restore $500
out of the 1880 which had been his share.
Next day, under the advice of his attorney
he had refused to make any restitution.
The agreement was produced in evidence.
Tanning corroborated the story of the
discovery, and added that three weeks
later he and his partner had returned to
make another purchase in the same
market. Neither of the partners had
made any effort to find the real owner of
the money and both declared that they
had spent all the money in less than two
months that had elapsed. Their position,
as defined by their attorney, G. L. Swift,
was that they had found the property
against all the world, except the real
owner, and that they were still ignorant
who that real owner was.
| The case went over until next Tuesday,
when developments of special interest to
Bridges and Tanning are expected.

march, in which over hundred little

ner that provoked tremendous applause.
The rope dance by Ida Wyatt, pretty
girl beautifully gowned, the fan dance of
Lola O'Brien, cachucha by Ethel Clark,
and tambour1ne by Ethel Schwaner, were
all very clever and delighted the spectators.
The scarf dance was especially interest

fare and is paved from the waterfront to
Nineteenth street with basalt blocks.
Between Third and Nineteenth streets 1t
has been found necessary to raise the road
bed, as it is some distance below grade.
All the pavement must be removed to DO
this, and the expense, perhaps 0,O0O, Will
have to be incurred by the city in any
case. The old paving blocks will still be
good for other streets and they will save
an expenditure of considerable sum for
their equivalent in new blocks. The addl-
tional expense, therefore, which would
ultimately fall upon the city would be not
much more than the cost of the pavement
and the difference in the cost of laying
bituminious rock and basalt blocks.
ALI these things were brought out by the
property-owners who were present last
evening, and the result of the discussion
was the appointment of committee to
start agitation in favor of the new project.
Petitions will be circulated, meetings will
be called, new clubs will be formed along
the line of the street, the Southern Pacific
will be requested to lay bituminous rock
when it repaves between its Folsom street
tracks, and the paving companies will be
asked to submit accurate estimates and to
use their influence with the prospect
of a big piece of work to do if the
thing is successfully carried through the
Board of Supervisors. On the committee
are G. l.. Center, A. B. Mcguire, John
Ryder, Captain Gilmore, a. S. Raabe and
Joseph Kelly.
To Captain Gilmore and A. S. Raabe is
especially delegated the duty of comforting
with the railroad people.
The club will meet again next Saturday
evening at the same place, and the COM
mittee will then report. In the meantime
an effort will be made to form club in the
vicinity of Folsom and Ninth streets.

THE FERRY FOUNDATION,
1t Is Strong Enough to Sup
port Any Building or
Mount DiablO.
So Saw the Grand Jurors-AlI Sem
sationaI Stories Swept
Away.

The REORGANIZATION scandal is virtually
ended so far as the Grand Jury is con-
cerned. The members of that body have
made examinations of the concrete piers,
and they have listened to testimony from
experts concerning the arches and plat
forms. Though the investigation is not
yet ended, the evidence so far produced
goes to show that the foundation is sufi-
cient to bear the burden of the big build
ing that will be put upon it, though it is
admitted the work could have been better
performed.
There we're many sensational stories cir
culated in regard to the ferry foundation,
the mixing of the cement and the way the
piers were built, but no evidence has been
found by the Grand Jury to show that the
| concrete piers were SO badly constructed
as represented by some persons.
There were four principal witnesses be-
fore the Grand Jury yesterday. These four
were P. ]. Donahue, Governor Budds ex-
pert: Professor Frank Soule of the Berke-
ley University, Professor Charles D. Marks
of Stanford University and Arthur Brown,
chief engineer of the Southern Pacific
Company.
The testimony of all these experts is to
the same end-that the materials fur
nished were of the best quality and that
the foundations would be sufficient to
sustain any building, even those of the
high modern styles.
A prominent member of the Grand jury
said Yesterday after the meeting: "The
gist of the whole testimony taken to-day
is to the effect that Gray Brothers
should be censured for not properly
handling good material put in their care.
They did not wash the rock as they
should have done and were careless in
mixing the rock and the cement. In
some places, according to the testimony of
the eminent expert, there was even too
much cement while in other places there
was too little. 1t is evident that the GRAY

A NEW FOLSOM STREET.
Project to Repave 1t With Bitumfnous
Rock From Third to Nine
teenth Streets.

Several members of the Folsom-street
improvement Club met in Mangel's Hall
last evening to discuss the proposition of
having Folsom street paved with bitumin-
Gus rock from Third to Nineteenth streets.
From Nineteenth street to Twenty is
already so paved, and the idea is to secure
smooth pavement all the way, and to
make Folsom street the outlet for the whole
south side. The cost has been estimated
at about $1,000, but there are several things
which make this figure dwindle down to a
sum not at all large in comparison to the
benefits of the improvement.
Folsom street is an accepted thorough
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-02

Brothers tried to save money by employ
ing too few men, and the rock and cement
was not as we'll mixed as it should have
been. However, the piers, according to
the unbiased experts, such as Professor
Soule and Professor Hanks, are sufficiently
strong to support the proposed ferry
building.
"Had the material been properly handled
there would not have been the slightest
trouble in the world. Still, as have said,
the work was well enough done to make
US feel convinced that even if Mount
Diablo was placed upon the piers they
could well sustain the heavy strain. The
wild and wierd stories told about the
piers are not sustained by the facts as we
can ascertain them. There is no evidence
to show that the piers will crumbie, as has
been represented. Several of the
members of the Grand Jury, myself
among the number, have examined
the piers and they seem to be all
right. In fact, there is no evidence to
show there are any grounds to back up the
sensational stories sprung in this matter.
Governor Budd has had some reports SUBJ
mitted to him which we have not secured
yet, and we may summon him to produce
them. Still l do not believe they will
change the opinion the members of the
jury have formed.
eve adjourned until Friday, when we
will summon before us the Gray Brothers,
Holmes and possibly Stilwell, though we
take very little stock now in Stilwell's re-
port. 1t seems that Stilwell tried to create
sensation based upon untruths. The
whole investigation is practically ended
and it sums up as follows: The Gray
Brothers did not do their work according
to the specifications, Holmes should
