advertising. Attorney Mhoon was of the
opinion that notifications might be made.
DIR. Beverly Cole then announced that his
faculty would guarantee to the amount OF
$l5,000."
Judge Wallace asked the architect if any
agreement had been made between the
contractors and the architect. Mr.. Kroft
replied that none had been made.
Governor Budd-Have you heard that
the contractors are to pay DR.. Cole $4,000
to reimburse the faculty?
The architect replied that such an un-
derstanding might have been on the basis
of using Folsom granite. The architect
further explained that the REIN bursement
of DR.. Cole was an arrangement of the
building committee to be brought about
by the use of Folsom granite.
In reply to Governor Budd the architect
said ii was the supposition from the start
that Folsom granite could be used.
Governor Budd-How did it happen
that Ray bid $45, 600 for sandstone and
S43, 900 for granite when the granite is the
more expensive material?
The architect contended that the use of
Folsom granite was authorized.
Governor Budd again asked the archi-
tect the direct question: do you know
that the contractors are to reimburse
Cole?"
The architect said he did not know it.
The regents decided to adjourn the con-
ference until 80 P. NJ. to-day and ask DR..
Cole to attend.
In the diversions of discussion yester-
day Mayor Sutro did not encounter the
octopus, but he launched out on the dan
gers of bloody war if the rights of the
people were not respected.
The position of affairs, so far as the re-
gents, are concerned, is extremely tender.
Should something happen before 80 P. ID.
to-day TO cause Mayor Sutro to fly off the
handle the whole scheme for building on
the Sutro site may fall to pieces and the
appropriation of $250,oo0 lapse into the
treasury. Judge Wallace and Arthur
Rodgers seem to possess the confluence OF
the Mayor and on their assurance that
everything possible is being done for the
good OF the country he may remain tran
quill and indulgent.

$4,000

Suits were yesterday fled against Kate
G. Byrne and Florence Blythe Hinckley

1872, in consideration of the care and at
tention bestowed on her by Mrs. Byrne,
the heiress of the Blythe millions agreed
to give her guardian 10 per cent OF her
fortune. She has since been paying $500
per month on account of this contract.
After the signing of the agreement
whereby Mrs. Byrne was to get her per-
centage of the Blythe estate, that lady
gave Ida ]. Phillips promissory note for
$40, 900. for value received, and Levi Kow-

The president OF the Sather Banking
Company said that money was advanced
on wheat only on safe margins, wider
margin being required now than before
the rise. He remarked that the rise in
wheat at this time could not be more op-

the argument that the price of silver
governed and kept pace with the price of
wheat. He thought that confidence was

MIR. BEEcHER's SLAVE SALE.


Mrs Henry Ward Beecher writes in
the December Ladies' Home Journal Of
When Mr.. Beecher Sold Slaves in Ply
mouth Pulpit" and thus describes the
sensation created by the sale OF Sarah,
which occurred on June /. 1865:
The solemn. impressive silence of the
vast Plymouth assemblage was abso-
lutely painful as a young woman slowly
assembled the stairs leading TO the pulpit
and sank into chair by Mr. Beecher's
side. Instantly assuming the manner
and look OF a slave auctioneer, he
called for bids. Look" lie exclaimed.
''at this remarkable commodity-human
flesh and blood like yourselves. You
see the white blood OF her father in
her regular features and high. thought
full brow. Who bids? You win have
to pay extra for that white blood. be-
cause it is supposed to give intelligence.
Stand up, Sarah! Now look at her
trim figure and wavy hair-how much
do you bid for them? She is sound
In wind and limb. I'll warrant her.
Who bids? Her feet and hands-hold
them out. Sarah are small and finely
formed. What do you bid for her? She
is Christian woman-I mean a pray
Ing Niger. and that makes her more
valuable. because il insures her doci1ity
and obedience to your wishes. Servants
obey your masters, you know. Well,
she believes in that doctrine. How
much for her? VIII you allow this
praying woman to be sent back to
Richmond to meet the fate for which
her father sold her? II not. who bids?
The congregation was wrought to the
highest pitch Of excitement. Women
grew hysterical and men were wrought
up. Some one near the pulpit laid a
bank note at Mr.. Beecher's feet. Then
the contribution baskets were passed
and for an hour money and jewelry
were heaped into them Women took
OFF their bracelets, brooches and rings.
and put them in the baskets, and men
unfastened their watches and handed
them to the ushers. Mr. Beecher's
voice. in the tone OF an auctioneer. rang
out, I'm the name OF Christ, men and
women, how much do you bid?" The
people were stirred beyond expression,
and one of the congregation said that
whatever deficiency in the price de-
manded for Sarah existed above the
collection would be made up by several
gentlemen. members of Plymouth
Church. Then you are free, Sarah"
remarked Mr.. Beecher. turning to the
girl beside him. and the audience broke
into the widest demonstration of en-
thusiastic applause, and quiet was not
restored for several minutes. The col
lection left no deficiency. Instead
enough money to buy Sarah's freedom,
$1,000, beside sufficient to purchase her
a comfortable home, had been raised

The British ship Centesima, which
struck on the Potato Patch last Satur-
day night. was towed to Sausalito yes
terday and run on the mud flats. The
damage was found to be much greater
than was at first suspected. and when
II was discovered that the vessel was
making sixteen inches OF water an
hour the captain thought It time to
run his ship ashore The tugs Sea King
and Sea Queen We're sent to her as

In the former, did the towing, Captain
Smith, in the Queen, remained along
side and kept the pumps going. In this
way the Centesima was taken to Rich
ardson's Bay, where she now lies only
a few hundred yards from the Sausalto
ferry boat.
The big ship has a cargo of over
1900 tons on board, but but none Of It is
perishable, At Dundee she took aboard
1000 tons Of pig iron and considerable
marble and other goods. At Newcastle
on-Tyne she loaded up with coke and
then made the run in l45 days,
Pilot Freeman boarded her outside
and the tug Reliance put n line aboard
outside the whistllng buoy. The bar
was breaking at the time and three
heavy rollers In succession struck the
ship. The first one threw her over,
the second one put her down on the
patch. and the third raised her enough
to give the tug chance to tow her

Centesima's deck beams are broken and
that nearly every plate in the center
of the ship has been started. The cargo
