THE PRODIGAL SON.
An Interesting Discourse by Evangelist
varley at the First Congrega-
tional Church.

The subject of Evangelist Henry Var
ley's discourse at the First Congregational
Church last night was "The Prodigal and
the Fathers Love"
The speaker said: 1.-THE parable of the
lost sheep represented the sinner. The
parable of the lost piece of silver repre-
scented value without life The parable of
the prodigal son refers to the SONS of God.
Children before the age of responsibility,
if they die, are saved by virtue of Christ's
atonement, but after the age of responsible
ity the individual by device accepts the
atoning Christ.
1.-The experience of the prodigal son is
notan exceptional experience among the
regenerate sons of men. The younger son
did not fall in the far-off country, but in
his fathers house and in the criminality
OF making a separate interest. He wanted
his fathers goods. Shutting out love of
house and father for love of goods-this
the greatest crime in San Francisco to-day.
vast proportions of trouble come from re-
fusing to recognize the fathers supremacy.
The greatest peril in life is creating sepa
rate interest from God. You cannot find
the father as the son goes away. He never
said good-by, but he was ready for the

HUNTINGTON'S EXPERT.
William Mah1 From New York Is Here
Examining the Southern Paci-
fic's Books.

William Mail, who is second assistant
to the president of the Southern Pacific
Company, arrived here from New York a
few days ago and is now busy with the
books of the company at Montgomery and
Market streets.
Mr. Mail is Familiarity known as the ex-
pert of c. P. Huntington. His presence
here has been kept very quiet, although he
has been hard at work on the annual state
ments of the railway corporations and ex-
porting the years accounts. A year ago,
it might be remembered, he paid visit to
San Francisco. AT that time the old build
ing at Fourth and Townsend streets was in
a state of ferment over the dismissal of
employees, which was part of the expense
reducing plan.
Mr.. Mahl got through with his work
and proceeded at once to New York with
all sorts of railroad business Details upon
which was based many of the radical
changes that took place subsequently.
c. P. Huntington is expected to leave
New York within week for this City and
on his arrival here will have an important
conference with his able expert. But what
the result may be cannot yet be guessed
at by the railroad officials.

SAFE-CRACKERS At WORK,
The Union Gas Engine Com
pany's Office Entered by
Burglars.
On the Second Attempt the Safe
Was Ruined, but No Money
Secured.

The safes in the Office of the Union Gas
Engine Company were visited by burglars
last Tuesday night. The thieves procured
their tools in the machine-shop and pro,
ceeded to drill holes in the door of the
safe in the outer Office. They succeeded IN
bursting the combination, but at the same
time jammed the small bolt that kept the
lock in position.
In their attempt to force the door they
bored two more holes and in doing so cut
their hands. The tools used were ma
chinlst's hammer, cape chisel and large
steel punch, which were found on bench
yesterday morning and all had blood
stains on them.
When the robbers found they could not
succeed they went to the safe out of which
they took $40 and gold watch last month
and forced it open again. All they Sc
cured was check on Portland bank for
$10S. After examining and finding it to
be payable to order they crumpIed it up
and threw it on the floor.
Burglars seem to have liking for our
establishment" said Harrison P. Coles
treasurer of the Union Gas Engine Com
pany, yesterday. Son the last occasion
they knocked the combination knob off
the inside safe and then drilled a hole
through the lock. In that way they Sc
cured $40 and gold watch Last Tuesday
night they had far greater difficulties to
overcome and got nothing for their pains.
Even had they succeeded they would only
have secured about $23 in silver, as all the
rest of the money was in the bank. The
robbers must have been well acquainted
with the premises and our business. We
have a contract to build gas engine for
young Mr.. Fair, and he paid US large de-
posit last Tuesday afternoon. The burglars
thought that money was in the safe, but it
wasn't. 1t was in the bank"
Detective Ben Bohen is now at work on
the case.

ANGRY OVER THE LEASE
Attorney Preston and Directors
Express Some Strong
Opinions.

E. F. Preston, attorney for the railway
company, said that the directors might
throw up the whole thing if some consid-
Grafton was not shown them in regard to
the lease. He had no hesitation in stating
his belief that Mayor Sutro would not adj
vance several million dollars to complete
the railway if that money could not be
raised on bonds.
"My opinion of this thing is that the
directors of the railroad think many cum
bersome provisions were introduced in the
agreement which would work the forfeit
ure of the lease should the road be bonded.
AS it stands to-day it would not be a safe
business proposition to entertain
Whose clause is the one to which you
object?"
IL don't know" and Mr.. Preston
shrugged his shoulders eloquently.
1.-THE lease was amended so often l don't
know where the clause came from. They
put in words, cut out words and interiected
amendments time and again, so that it is
not possible now to recognize it. The
lease as originally drawn provided for an
assignment as required in the law, but
they added to that whether by operation
of the law or otherwise, and the lease
should at option of the State be declared
void.
There were so many changes in the
amended lease could not form an opinion
on it when asked for one by the Harbor
Commissioners. / had to wait until got
the lease as a whole, which did not get
till just before the board of directors met
yesterday afternoon.
1.-The sum of it is our board has an
pointed committee to communicate with
the Harbor Commissioners, which possibly

THE GOVERNORS RETRIEVE
It May Eventually Give Collins q
Longer Respite Than the Execu-
tive Intended.

The legal point which at a critical
moment saved McNulty's life will prob
ably be revived again on behalf of Patrick
Collins, now awaiting execution in San
Quentin. The question involves the right
of the Governor, after having suspended
the execution of the death penalty, to set
a day upon which that sentence shall be
executed.
In McNulty's case Governor Markham
granted him reprieve of two weeks, and
as the two weeks slipped slowly by Dorm &
Dorm, then acting as attorneys for Sheriff
Laumeister, advised their client that he
had no right to hang the man under ex-
listing conditions. Section 1927 of the
Penal Code requires that if for any cause
the sentence of death pronounced by a
competent court has not been executed the
criminal must be brought into court again
and be reSentenced.
1t is provided elsewhere in the code that
court cannot set the date of execution
less than sixty nor more than ninety days
from the date of sentence. A reprieve
from the Governor, the Sheriff was advised,
had only the effect of sending the accused
to the courts to be resentenced.
Under this advice the Sheriff, when the
time came, refused to hang the man, and
saved his life. On the Monday following
the date set for the execution, the Sheriff
was summoned before Judge Murphy to
make his return as to the execution, and
after days argument on the question he
was sentenced to pay fine of 81 and be
placed In the Jail under custody of the
Coroner for one day. A writ of habeas
corpus was secured, and it was tried before
Judge Wallace.
He discharged the Sheriff, thus uphold
ing Dorn's view of the case, which was
dismissed without ever going to the Su
preme Court.
McNulty was resentenced, but the SEN
tence was eventually committed.
Collins case is similar one in this, that
the Governor has suspended the execution
of the death sentence and has set June Ia
as the date of Collins execution. The
question has arisen, Can Collins be hanged
on June IA, with the McNulty case to cite
as precedent? There is a similar point
now In New York in the case of Buchanan,
charged with murder, and there, too,
the Sheriff has refused to hang the man
for the same reason as that which saved
McNulty.

COMMISSIONERS TALK.
They Say They Are Willing to
Discard the Amend
mentS.

at seems to me" said President Colnon
of the Board of Harbor Commissioners,
yesterday afternoon, "that the Valley
road does not want the lease very badly.
If they had returned the lease with the OBJ
lection against the Mayors amendments
we would have knocked those amendments
out. / say this after consultation with my
colleagues, and We all came to the conclu-
sion that the Mayor would have withdrawn
his amendment if the signing of the lease
depended upon it. We had no cognizance
of the action of the Valley road directors
except what we read in the newspapers.
While l have every confidence in the news
papers, still we cannot accept publica-
ton as a communication of the ultima
tum of the board of directors"
1.-The disposition of the Harbor Commits
sioners," said Commissioner Cole, sis to
give everything to the Valley road that it
asks for as long as we keep inside of the
law. | don't know how Sutro feels about
the matter-he is an uncertain quantity,
anyhow, but the Harbor Commissioners
have talked this matter over, and l know
that they all feel as do. At private talk
we had it was decided to send letter to
the Valley road directors, asking them to
draft lease, and If the instrument they
draw comes within the law, you can bet
your life we will sign it."
"We have been working on this lease
now for three weeks" said Commissioner
Chadbourne, land both Mr.. Spreckels and
Mr.. Preston have been present at all our
deliberations. They have approved of
everything we have done with the excep-
ton of Mayor Sutro's amendments.
'Mr. Preston to-day said that he re-
ceived an engrossed copy of the lease from
US at o'clock yesterday. He said that
the board took it up at 800 o'clock. Mr..
Magee had to leave the meeting at $40 to
catch the O'Clock boat The deduction
to be drawn from this is that the directors
gave just twenty minutes consideration to
our lease. We are willing to do anything
in the world to get competing road into
this City, but we do not think that the
Valley road directors have met US half
way. AS Harbor Commissioners we de-
cline to be put in the position of obstruct-
ing the way of any com peting road"

REDUCING THE RATES,
The Water Committee of the Board OF
Supervisors Increases the
Hydrant Tax.

meeting of the Water Committee OF
the Board of Supervisors was held last
night to make changes in the rates now
being levied on the City and property
owners. There was strong reluctance
upon the part of the individual members
OF the committee to come to the scratch
and the subject was approached with ex-
treme caution. Finally it was voted that a
of the rate-payer.
The hydrant rate, which the Spring
Valley Water Company contended should
be raised from 50 so to $40 per month. was
nnaliy placed at So. This was considered
posed reduction, leaving the remainder, or
per cent, assessed to the water company.
IL was, however, agreed that the whole
question might be reconsidered and the
vote changed at the next meeting of the
Board of Supervisors, which will be Friday
evening at o'clock.

No Wings on Lawson's Angels.

Evangelist Thomas H. Lawson of Santa Clara
preached last evening in st. Paul's Mission on
Mission street on angelic ministrations. His
text was, "The angel of the Lord encampeth
around and about they that fear God and deliy-
ereth them" An angel, he said, is not good
dead man. nor a demon bad dead man, but
were created before man. Man was made
q little lower than the angels. He did not be-
heve that angels are going around with wings
sproutlng from their shoulders, and quoted
from the Bible in substantiation of his asser-
ton that angels are in the semblance of
human beings. "When they tell you that you
have to be in darkened room, with hands
clasped, and that tables have to dance, to see
angels, they tell you the blackestlie." God, he
said, never worked in darkness. Angels, he
said, are always around to deliver from harm
those who dwell in the fear of God.
