WHITE WILL Be ANGRY.
HIS BIG SIGN TORN DOWN BY
ORDER OF THE HARBOR
COMMISSIONERS.
THE RAILROAD CONSIDERS ITSELF
SUPERIOR TO REGULATIONS,
HOWEVER.

When Kellogg A. White, agent of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, re-
turns from Sacramento to-day he will miss
his favorite sign and will be very angry In
consequence. The Harbor Commissioners
had the offending board torn down last
night and the Southern Pacific is now VOW

When the Monticello was put on the
route between San Francisco, Vallejo and
Mare Island the railroad was disgusted.
Instead of paying dollar to travel by rail
the passengers focked to the steamer.
Something had to be done, so the old stern
wheeler Herald was drawn from her long
retirement, her engines were patched up,
the inspectors of hulls and boilers passed
her and she started as an opposition boat.
Agent White had to let the public know
that he was in the field, so he had a big
sign painted and nailed it to the ferry
building. This was in direct violation of
one of the rules passed by the Harbor
Commissioners and President Colnon was

A captain at the reunion of the Society of the
Army OF the Tennessee, recently, bore this tes-
timony to the character of General Howard
He saws: General 0. o. Howard, the only
surviving officer of the Grand Army of the
Tennessee, is called the Christian soldier on
account OF the fact that during his military ca
reer he never drank intoxicating beverages or
swore, and always, whenever opportunity af-
forded it, would preach morality and religion
to his men. He still lives up to the same prin-
ciples, and now is very much interes ed in the
workings of the Salvation Army. HIS stead
fastness to these traits has made him all the
more beloved, and his men come and go at his
beck or command"

very angry over the matter. He ordered
the sign down, but his orders were not
| obeyed.5 Then Commissioner Cole was
sent to talk to Agent White in plain words.
This he did and the promise was given
that the matter would be attended to. 1t
was only subterfuge, however, as the
| railroad people had no intention of remov-
ing the sign.
When the board met yesterday nothing
was said about the matter until within
few minutes of adjournment. Then Presi-
dent Colnon remarked: II see that adver-
tlsement of the steamer Herald is still on
the ferry building, Mr.. Cole
"Yes, it's still there" said the Commits
sloner, but they told me it would be taken
down. | understand that White now
claims right to putup any sign be pleases
as he practically owns the property"
Whats tbat?" snapped Chadbourne.
Anybody claiming to own buildings on
State property? Just let us inquire into
tins NO one can put up sign or any
thlng else on the water front without our
permission. l move that that sign be torn
| down."
81 think we have been trif1ed with long
enough In this matter was the remark in
| terjected by President Colnon. 81 think
the superintendent of construction should
| be told to get sufficient men and take down
| the sign at once"
Il make motion to that effect,' said
Chad dbourne. Il second it," said Cole.
The motion carried" concluded Colnon
ana that settled it. Superintendent OF Re-
pairs Patterson was given his instructions,
and by P. NJ be was on the ground with
SIX a able-bodied men armed with hammers,
chlsels> and ladders. In about twenty
minutes the sign was down and carted
away. Then the Commissioners went
nome happy. The railroad people assert
that when White returns the sign will go
up again, and then the fun will begin.
Inc question of allowing John D.
Spreckels u Bros. Company to erect coal
bunkers at Howard No. 9 was discussed,
but as Mr.. Spreckels was not in town the
matter went over for week. This brought
up the question of coal-bunkers in general,
and President Colnon expressed very de-
cided opinion to the effect that all things
of that kind should be concentrated; the
lumber Wharves at one part of the front.
the hay wharves at another and the coal
bunkers at third. Commissioner Chad
bourne did not think the scheme practca-
BILE, as tens of thousands of dollars had
been invested in the bunkers already
erected and it would be a hard ship on the
owners to make them move nOW The
matter went over and the Chief Wharfnper
was instructed TO ascertain the methods
employed In New York and other large sea-
ports in such cases.
The tearing down of 295 feet of Powell
street wharf was brought up and Major
Wallace of the California Wire Works
argued against the matter. He told the
board that his company contemplated
landing all its raw material at Powell
street wharf, and ii 295 feet were removed
the wharf would be useless, as a vessel 800
feet long could not lie at it.
1t was finally decided to only cut 200 feet
from the structure, thus leaving 395 feet
standing.

The Charred Bone of Minnie Williams
Another of Holmes Victims, Found In Q
Stove.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. July 2O.-Another APP
palling crime will be laid at the door
of II. II. Holmes, the notorious insur-
ance swindler and the alleged MUIR
cerer of the Pietzels. That Minnie
Williams, of Fort Worth. Tex. met
her death at the hands of Holmes
there is scarcely a doubt. That she
died in this city in a violent manner
has been proven almost corclusively.
Late last night the police found in a
stove in the three-story brick building
at 70l Sixty-third street, which was
built by Holmes, and in which both he
and the Williams girl lived, quantity
of charred bones, buttons known to
have been on dress owned by
Minnie Williams and a partly melted
portion of a watch chain, which was
positively identified as being the prop
erty of the girl. The chain was in
stantly recognized by C. F. Davis, who
occupies a portion of the store for
merly used by Holmes when he was
in the drug business, as one that
he had seen Miss Williams wear, and
which he had on two separate occa-
sions repaired for her. Davis also
claimed to recognize the buttons as
those he had seen on a dress worn by
Miss Williams.

Whether the single gold standard

try, or whether the constitutional
standard of gold and silver, with bet
ter prices for the products of la Dor, and
safer conditions for business shall be
restored, must be decided by the peo-
pie a the election in 1896.
The issue is between the gold
standard, gold bonds and a contract
ing currency on the one side, and a
bimetallic standard, no bonds and a
sufficient currency on the other.

secure the establishment of these prin-
ciples, the executive committee APP
pointed at the Memphis silver conven-
ton. June IL and Is, 1895, earnestly
recommends:

lie leagues throughout the country,
which all those who believe in the res
toration of the free and unlimited
coinage Oh silver at the existing ratio Oh

''Second-That a com mittee of five be
appointed to take charge of this move
ment, to provide and distribute litera-
ture, to place organizers and speakers
in the field and otherwise to advance
the cause of bimetallism as in their
judgment they shall think best.
''Third-Each member OF the ma
tional committee is authorized to Sc
lect chairman for each county in the
state, and the chairman SO selected
may appoint in each district of his
county and in each ward of an incor-
porated town or city three members to
