License Collector Lees said that the
clerks, like the firemen's horses and the
people in Jail, wanted to eat, and he
wanted to know how it could be arranged
if they had no pay. Ii they went to the
brokers they would he robbed
Assistant Chief Engineer Dougherty of
the Fire Department said the Fire Depart
ment horses would have to be provided for
at once, and Deputy Assessor Herzer
asked him if the employees in the depart
ment would be willing to hold out their
warrants on behalf of the horses.
Dougherty said he could only speak for
himself-he would be willing.
Mr.. Herzer moved that the City Attor-
ney be requested to draw up a petition, to
be signed by the heads of departments and
their deputies who were willing to with
hold their salaries, and Hiram Cook, chief
deputy of the Tax Collectors office, Sec
onded it.
E. w. Williams, clerk of the Justices
Court, declared it to be his opinion that
those departments that had nothing to do
with creating the deficit should not be
called upon to suffer through it. The
warrants once withheld, he said, they
would not be paid for six months and the
brokers would eat them UP with interest,
Chairman Taylor said that it had been
suggested to him, as another way out of
the difficulty, that the street lights be shut
off for couple of months. Some $4,000
could be saved in that way.
Clerk Williams said the only legitimate
way out of it that he saw was to call a
special election and secure the right from
the people to levy tax to pay the indebt-
edness
Chairman Taylor said that the fact that
there was no money to pay the expenses
of an election made that impossible.
Creswell chung his original suggestion.
He thought the clerks would be willing to
withhold their warrants if they were not
placed at the mercy of over-greedy bro
kers. He thought some bank could be in
duced to purchase them at a reasonable
discount.
NJ. Greenebaum, representing the associ-
ated creditors, said that the merchants
merely wauted to be assured that they

AN ODD NAUTICAL TRIO.
The Old Bark Leahi, Whose
Thick Walls Gould Not
Be Crushed.
A HALIBUT SHAPED YACHT.
The Dome-Deck and Double-Pro-
peller Steamer Thistle
Marine Freak.

The bark Leahi, the steamer Thistle and
sloop Cyclone, lying together at Howard
street pier, compose about the oldest
marine trio ever punched together. Each
vessel is in no way like her fellow or like
any other craft, and the dissimilarity
makes the three nondescripts strikingly
noticeable.
The Leahi is an Hawaiian vessel of 551
Ions and was formerly Norwegian bark.
She was wrecked on the Mexican coast,
recovered and sold for $500. The immense
thickness of her walls and the great
strength of the hull prevented her from
being crushed on the beach at the time she
went ashore, and the clumsy and rather
unsightly craft sails the seas, a monument
to the excellent work of her Morse builders.
Her carrying capacity is small on account
of the heavy timbers and planking of her

WANTS A NEW TRIAL.
William Savage Would Like to Reopen
the Blythe Estate
Case.

The legal ENHANCEMENT of the Blythe
estate has not been unraveled yet, and
although Florence Blythe has been de-
clared the heir to the millions of the dead
man, the other claimants are not giving
up easily.
The latest move was made yesterday by
William Savage, one of the Savage claim
ants. He filed petition in the Supreme
Court for rehearing of the case. His Pc
tition covers thirty-two pages of type-writ-
ten matter, and in it he takes occasion
to make some strangely worded objections
to the manner in which the estate affairs
were treated in the Superior Court
In the first place Mr.. Savage holds that
the Probate Judge refused to allow his
counsel, T. l. Lyons, to cross-examine an
important witness, T. I. Gutierrez, who
had been secretary to Blythe at the time Of
his death; also that he was ignored by the
Judge and was not allowed to ask any

A, PAGE BROWNS BILLS,
The Question Presented to the
Board of Harbor Com
miSSionerS.
GOVERNOR BUDD WAS THERE.
A Recent Decision by Judge San
derson Bears Upon the Archi-
tect's Claim.

The Board of State Harbor Commission
ers met at II A. NJ. yesterday for the pur-
pose of considering the bills of A. Page
Brown against the State.
Governor Budd was not present at that
meeting. Later in the DAY the Governor
visited the Commissioners. There were
also present the attorney for the board,
TREY L. Ford, and ex-attorney Mr.. STRAIT
ton, and these matters were informally
discussed During the discussion the Gov
ernor stated the questions that had arisen
in the Board of Examiners, of which he is
himself a member.
The Governor said that question had
arisen as to whether or not they should
authorize the payment of the demands of
Architect A. Page Brown for his services
in relation to the new depot. He called
attention to the act of April 1. 1872, found
at page 925 of the statutes of 1S71-72. The
first section of that act is as follows:
When by any statute of this State power is
given to any State or county officer or officers
or to any board of supervisors or corporation
or any board of trustees or commissioners or
any person or persons created or appointed by
authority of any such statute to erect or cause
to be erected or constructed any State or
county or other building or structure II snail
be the duty of such officer or officers, board of
supervisors, corporation or board of trustees,
or commissioners or other person or persons to
advertise for plans and specifications in detail
for said building or other structure, and to
state in said advertisement the amount author
lied by law or otherwise to be expended for the
erection of said building structure, and also
the premium to be awarded to the architect
whose plans and specifications for the same
may be adopted.
The question that arose in the Board of
Examiners was as to whether the pro-
visions of the act applied to work done by
the State Board of Harbor Commission
ers. Judge SanGerson in a recent decision
in a case before him determined that a
similar act, that of March %. 1876, in rela-
ton to the erection of public buildings, did
not apply to the Board of State Harbor
Commissioners, for the reason that the
Harbor Commissioners operate under
special provisions OF the Political Code
which relate to Harbor Commissioners
only and not to State officers in general.
If the law quoted in the foregoing should
be determined not to be applicable to the
Harbor Commissioners then the Board of
Examiners will allow Mr.. Browns claim;
otherwise they may conclude that the con-
tract under which he was employed was
not in conformity with the law, and in
that event they will decline to approve his
demands.

for speed, and notwithstanding her shape
she has met the expectations of her de-
signers.

about seven years ago as tugboat for The
Rogue River bar, and was supplied with
two propellers, one at the stern and the
other in the bow, upon a continuous shaft
running fore and aft through the hull.
Her draught was about four feet, and the
forward propeller would be submerged
crossing the choppy seas of the river bar,
even when the after screw would be churn-
ing the atmosphere.
The boat was dome-decked, the planking
sinking toward the head and stern about
20 deg, which gave the steamer the I'M
slightly appearance of being broken-backed.
This plan was adopted to clear the deck
of water speedily and was found to work
successfully, as the seas would roll off the
turtle-like hull and the little Ight-draught
steamer would rise to the crest of breakers
like duck. When the vessel was changed
to a coast freight steamer a rail was built
on the forward slope and the head pro-
peller Topped off, but the after part of the
hull still preserves its sinking appearance
She is owned by the Alaska Packing
Company.
The sloop Cyclone was built at Alameda
in 1891 by e. A. Won Schmidt She is 40
feet long, 9 feet in depth and has a beam
OF over 20 feet.
In fact she is shaped like fine fat hall
but, and her great width makes her a
twenty-eight ton craft. When Captain
Won Schmidt sailed her around the bay the
immense sail she carried made her usually
the victor. Her new owner, Captain ]. w.
Morris, is fitting her with mainsail, two
jibs and a gaff topsail and is preparing the
old yacht for a cruise in japanese waters
and eventually around the globe. The
captains wife will be passenger and the
vessel will be manned by three persons.

then goes on to review portions of the tes-

he fatty contradicts several statements
which were made by witnesses.

He also objects to Mr.. Harris testimony
as given in the case. He says:
It is well known that there is set of legal
bandits acting and preying upon this estate,
such parties being the worst kind of bandits
they being protected. But is the court going
to stultify itself by assisting them in their ne
farious business
In conclusion he asks the court to over
look any strong language which he may
have used in his appeal, and says that if a
new trial is granted it will conduce to a
quicker settlement OF the case.

1t was finally determined that a con-

Supreme Court to see if some new plan
could not be discovered.

committee and the heads of departments

With Preaching Salvation.
Down at the Salvation Army barracks
on Mission street, near Third, they have
dubbed Marie Brownell ''the salvation
slugger." She does not look a bit pug
nacious, for her face is pretty and in
telligent.
But appearances are deceptive some
times. Miss Brownell, on March 80,
thrashed man who insulted her mothe r
and herself as they were walking home
from the barracks. Yesterday she thrashed
a young man who took advantage of the
fact that young woman wore Salvation
Army bonnet to insult her.

the meetings, and when the sergeants who
attend to the door went to order him out
he merely swore at them. Later he began

Senator Sherman has stirred up
rumpus with his new book. Ills
criticisms of Republican leaders
will not help his party's cause any
in Ohio. It has happened in the
past that when Sherman's col

ocrats carried the Ohio legisla'
ture, but when Sherman's' term

Sherman would as soon be the

The only hope that Towne will
