Mrs. Fl. J. Stewart, wife of H. ]. Stewart,
the widely known musical composer and
critic. died at her residence, corner OF
Hyde and Sacramento streets. at half-past
7 O'Clock last evening. The immediate
cause of her death was Bright's disease,
which was induced by a severe attack OF
the grip. =.
Mrs. Stewards death will be distinctive
loss TO critical musical circles in this City.
as well as to her very wide circle of friends
and acoua lntances. She was very dis
tinguished musician, and was not only

but a performer on the organ and piano OF
rare ability. She was the organlst at 81.

pect to sail for Australia by the steamer
Monowai.
The purpose of the expedition, which
was planned by Professor Agassiz is to
explore the Great Barrier reef of Australia
and other coral formations of the Pacific.
Mr.. Woodwork, who accompanies Pro-
fessor Agassiz. is we'll known in San Fran
cisco, where his brothers, Selim E., Fred
erick A. and Benjamin, reside. Tuesday
evening the four brothers met at Selim E..
Woodworth's home on Lyon street and
dined together for the first time within
twenty-five years.
Alexande er Agassiz, the leader of the ex-
pedition, is acknowledged to be the best
authority in the world on certain forms of
marine life. In the field of science he is a
distinguished and learned man; yet so
great was the fame of his celebrated father,
Louis Agassiz, that Alexander is to-day
mentioned as the young professor.
Alexander Agassiz, who was born in

curator of the museum at Cambridge and
remained as such until 1885, when he re-
signed, owing to i'll health. His publica-
tions are numerous, principally on sub
jects of marine zoology. He is the author,
with Mrs. Elizabeth c. Agassiz, OF Sea
side Studies in Natural History" OF Ma
riDe Animals of Massachusetts Bay" and
of the fifth volume of Contributions to
the Natural History of the United
States" left incomplete by his father.
The present tour has been in Mr.. Agas-
siz's mind for many years, and he
regards it as an important enterprise IN
his chosen field of science. A steamer has
been chartered in Australia. and as it is
now late summer or early autumn on that
side of the equator the examination OF the
coral reef will begin early in winter, the
season which Professor Agassz regards as
the most fayora BILE for this line of work.
Many tenders of hospitality to Professor
Agassiz and his assistants, Messrs. Wood
worth and Mayer, have been made since
they reached the City yesterday morning.
Time will not permit them to do much
more in "social way" than to dine at the
Bohemian, University and Pacific Union
clubs.
DR.. Woodwork will bear with him to
Hawaii and Samoa letters from Charles
Warren Stoddard, Joseph D. Strong and
others who have lived III tie South Sea
Islands.

1885, is not youth and neither is he an
old man. 1t may be said of him. as it was
of DR.. Holmes, that he is 81 years young.
He is exceedingly reticent and decidedly
modest in speaking OF his work and
achievements. His example in this re-
spect is followed by his assistants.
In 1859 Alexander Agassiz was in Cali
fornia on the coast survey and found time
to visit many of the principal mines of
this region. In 1860 he returned to Cam
bridge and became assistant in zoology at
the museum. From 1876 to 1881 his win
tiers were spent in deep sea-dre dring ex-
peditions with the coast survey steamer
Blake. He assisted largely in the devel-
opment of the copper mines of the Lake
Superior region, and also explored the
copper fields of Peru and Chile. On the
death of his father in 1874 he was made

Jesse r. Grant of San Diego, son of Gen.
eral U. S. Grant, arrived here yesterday
and is at the Palace. He says the state

Fortuna is mistake. He says he owns
few properties which are as yet largely
prospects instead of mines, but they are
not at Fortuna.
''The fact isl said Mr. Grant, ''that I
have not been going about great deal
lately. l have simply been living quietly
at my little place on the hill in San Diego.
About every six months hear of some
big mine and go forth to see it, but usually

other big one, and go of on hard trip
again, only to have it turn out the same
way. After this occurs several times | get
fit of disgust and go home and rest about
six months, when l hear of something else
and start off again.

represent Westcott, was in court, but he
made no objection. The only offset to the
testimony given was Westcott's answer.
He said 1t was a genuine marriage. and
every one knew it, but he did not appear,
and SO the divorce was granted.
Now it is charged that lsaacs was in this
City at the time he said he was in Port
land. witnessing the marriage, and 1t is
further charged that the whole story is q
fabrication of Miss MERGERS. The two
arrests have therefore followed. Miss

when she was arrested.
