ALONG The WATER FRONT
The Mare Island Tugboat Una
dilla Disabled in Mission
Bay.
Loss Of Life on tie Orion During the
Gale That Capsized the
B.airmore.

The Mare Island tug Unadilla was again
in trouble yesterday. After landing her
passengers from the Navy-yard at Wash
ington-street wharf she went down 70 the
Union Iron Works, and incidentally a
visit was paid to the wreck of the Blair
more. On the return trip the connecting
rod of the machinery broke near the crank
pin and the tug drifted around for half an
hour in helpless condition.
Finally she drifted close to Mission Rock
and line was thrown ashore and the tug
was safely moored. The captain and Off
GERS were taken to the Mail dock by the
Union Iron Works tug Rockaway and
went at once uptown. In the evening the
steamer Sunol, owned by Piper, Alden,
Goodall q Co., took up the freight and
passengers, and it will be at least a week
before the Government boat is ready to
run again. 1t was lucky that the accident
did not happen in Suisun Bay when the
Unadilla was on her way down. as in that
event the thirty-odd passengers might
have spent all day aboard before they
were picked up.
The schooner Orion, which arrived from
Grays Harbor yesterday. had very
rough time of it. She was caught in the
Southwestern that capsized the BIairmore,
and again and again her decks were
flooded and some of the men were hurt
At II 20 P. NJ. on the 9th inst. in latitude
80 deg. 40 min. north longitude 125 deg.
25 min. west very heavy sea broke aboard
and John McEllion was washed away, and
as no assistance could be given he was
drowned. Life buoys and ropes were
thrown to him, but he could not reach
them, and mountainous sea buried him,
after which he was not seen again. He
was native of Maine, % years of age and
had fr-
coast.

On and after April Is the signal will

The California Navigation and Improve
ment Company will begin running Sun
day steamers on the 9th inst. to and from
Stockton. The Mary Garrett will leave
Stockton at 7 P. NJ. each Sunday, and at
the same hour the J. D. Peters will leave
San Francisco. In this way the company
hopes to keep the two queen cities of the
Pacific in touch, and incidentally strike a
blow at the Southern Pacific, that now has
monopoly of the Sunday business.
The steamer Umatlla arrived from
Puget Sound ports yesterday afternoon,
but the GENIAL face of John J. Campbell
was not seen in the purser's room, as
usual. He has caught the gold fever, and
after securing three months leave of alb
sence from the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company has sailed for Alaska to hunt

NJ. II. Lam bert, the popular purser of the
Corona, who is so well known on the
southern route.

The Fair Sisters Interpose Oh.
jectioas to Paterson's
Contest.
THIS MUST NOW BE ARGUED
Not Until Then Will Day Be
Fixed for the Trial of the
Big Will Case.

Yesterday morning at the last minute be-
fore the matter came on for hearing before
Judge Slack legal documents in the Fair
Will case were piled one upon another by
the various attorneys representing the
different interests.
DIR. Livingston, through his attorneys,
made answer 10 the contest filed on behalf
OF Herman Oelrichs Jr. by Judge Pat
erson; also an answer to the contest filed
by Charles l.. Fair.
A demurrer was filed by Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair to the OPP
position of Judge Paterson to the second
will.
The vast army of lawyers were present
In court when the case was called, but for
the first time since these particular gath
erings of giants began George A. knight
and ChariesHeggerty focked by themselves
apart from the others who represent the
heirs. There has been a division of the
family. The sisters do not agree with the
brother in his contest.
The demurrer OF the sisters to Judge
Paterson's contest was the one element
of surprise. None of the attorneys had
previous notice of it.
Judge Slack refused to fix day for trial
but until all the issues are joined he held
the matter over until next Friday after
noon when he will hear arguments on the
demurrer. The answer of DR.. Livingston
to the contest of Charles l.. Fair sets forth
the declaration made by Fair when he
brought the will forward that he believed
1t to be the last and genuine will of James
G. Fair.
The answer to ex-Judge Paterson simply
admitted his right 10 contest and joined
issues with him in the contest. 1t also en-
tered denial to the point set up by Judge
Paterson that there had ever been q re-
publication of the will of the 2lst.
The demurrer to Judge Paterson's con-
test is long document. 1t was filed by
Lloyd d Wood, as attorneys. 1t attacked
test. 1t was held that, as representing :he
minor heirs, Judge Paterson has no stand
ing in this matter.
This demurrer will have to be disposed
of before the case can come to trial and
the joined issues of all parties.
When the case was called by Judge
Slack S. NJ. Shortridge rose and addressed
the court:

ton of certain parties who have been per-

Partner

Evidence Against }. w. Costa, Deans
Partner.
Joe McClusKey, or ]. w. Costa, which
he says is his true name. was before Judge
Wallace Thursday, to be tried for raising
the So draft on the Woodland Bank.
In his opening statement Assistant
District Attorney Black said he would not
try to prove that McCluskey or Costa, had
any hand in raising the 81 draft to one
for $50, coo, but he would show that he was
party TO the passing of 1t, and that be
was IN every way an mplice. He said
he would show that on the morning the
money was drawn from the bank Costa
called at Deans office and asked to sec
Dean.
Dean was not in, but on arriving later
said he had seen Costa ON the stairs. He
said he would further shsw that Costa was
with Dean when the money was drawn
from the bank, and that he met him by
agreement in Omaha.
Whey Lyle, the office.boy who worked
for Dean, was called, but he failed to fully
Identify Costa as the man he saw with
Dean. He told how he took Deem to the
bank and then drove him out to the Va
lencia-street station. where he took the
train. He told Lyle he was going to he
away a few days, and to keep the office
open as usual.
George Grant of the Nevada Bank and
Y. Nj. Thomas of the Woodland Bank were
also called to tell of the peculiar transac-
ton. The case then went over until Mon
day.

Mr.. Kleiser entertained and interested
his audience the whole evening by his
clever Rotations and impersonations.
He gave sour American Cousin" i'm
personating all the different characters in
the play, and he acted the various parts
with so much delicacy and expression
that people listened with almost as much
interest as If the play were being acted.
Afterward the reciter gave clever little
sketch OF his own entitled "Matrimony,
in. which he depicted. largely by panto-
mime, the role of disappointed sutton.
He also recited Eugene Fields Fathers

it. We have made answer in this also on
behalf of our client, DR.. Livingston, and
there is clear issue here also.
"Mr. Fair, in his opposition, denies the
genuineness. of the will. and has filed a
petition asking leave to withdraw his
former petition for probate.
THAT petition was, l believe, granted
by. your Honor yesterday. ] gather my
information from the newspapers" said
Mr.. Shortridge. II Lave received no no.
tice otherwise of the fact. However, we
have answered the opposition, declaring
our belief that the will of the 2lst is the
last VIII and testament OF James g. FAIR.
We are ready for trial on both issues. now
practically one, and we ask that they be
set for trial.
Judge Paterson made objection. He
thought it would never do 70 go to trial
until some issue had been joined as 10 oil
the parties. as there could not be several
trials of this case-all the parties must
combine on one issue.
"All the parties are joined" said Mr.
Shortridge. "They have stated their OPP
position and we have answered."
MRS. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair
have filed demurrer to my amended con-
test of your will" said Judge Paterson.
Indeed. When was it filed?n inquired
Mr.. Shortridge.
This morning." said Judge Paterson.
"Ah," exclaimed Mr.. Shortridge. that is
another proceeding of which we have had
no notice."
Nevertheless 1t is so" said Judge Pat
erson.
"Then, your Honor, beg that an early
day may be fixed for an argument" said
Mr.. Shortridge. 1--WE are DESTROYS that this
matter shall come to trial upon its merits

Il am willing" said Judge Paterson.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted DR.. Henry Gibbons, dean of
Cooper Medical College, at his lecture on
Recent Advances in Medicine" given
last night in the college hall.
1--WE have now reached point" he
said, "when it has almost ceased to be the
fashion to be skeptical. So many new in
ventions have in their wondrous results
surpassed all that the most fertile imagi
nation of past ages could conceive, that
now we are ready to believe almost any
thing in the way of scientific advance
ment"
The dean noted specifically some of the
recent discoveries which had revolution
lied the practice of medicine. The dis
coveries OF Koch and Pasteur were in
stanced as mere premonitory glimpses of
greater things yet to come. The advance
in surgery was especially dwelt upon, the

There were two suits filed in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday against the
Zeno Mauvais Music Company for infringe
ment of rights to certain popular songs
which have been successfully sung on the
vaudeville stage. Broder g. Schlam of San
Francisco and the White, Smith Music

airy 4, 1896, under the name of INA Ange-
line," and the White-Smith Company
charge the defendants with publishing

Broder e. Schlam declare that "Dora
Dean" was composed by Bert A. Williams
and after the song became popular it was
wrongfuliy published and circulated for
sale under the name of INA Angelina by
the defendants to the suit. In an affidavit,
Bert Williams deposes that he is the author
OF the song in question; that he composed
1t while IN the employ of Edward Holman;
that he composed the words of the first
verse as well as the music and melody.
Edward Homan. Griffith Wilson, Daniel
Green and Charles Young testified that
they had heard Williams sing the song
and also had heard Charles Sidney O'Brien

further publications of the production
The contention over the right to tho pos
session of the song as we'll as to who the
author really is has created much interest
among the artists of the concert stage.
In its complaint against the Zeno-
Mauvals Company the White.Smith Com
pany ask the court for an accounting, as
we'll as an injunction from further publ
cations of the "New Bully" The affidavit
sets forth that Charles E. Trevathan OF
Union City, Tenn, and former news
paper reporter of San Francisco, COM
posed the song in dispute, and on Febru-
airy Is, 1896, sold all his right, title and in
terest to it to Daniel l.. White. In support
OF the allegations OF the complaint Charles

song; Ferris Hartman, who says he sang
1t, and James p. Wilson, Clinton C. Rely
and S. G. Morton. who say they heard it
sung, furnish affidavits. Trevathan says
he presented the New Bully song to
May Irwin, and that after some changes
she adapted it to 'The Widow Jones' and |
rendered 1t with great success.

Police Lieutenant George Birdsall sent
his squad of patrolmen out last evening to
be educated how to properly kill horse
in the case of an emergency.
Surgeon WestphaH OF the Park-avenue
Hospital had a poor old mare on hand
that was about to die of disease and old
age, and, in accordance with promise
made TO Captain Whitman before the
latter went East, the notice was sent in

were lined up and the surgeon showed
them exactly the right spot into which to
tlre the bullet so as to make sure shot.
He first exhibited a bare skull of horse
and drew line across its face from the
lobes above the eyes and pointed out the
center of the line.
The old horse was then brought out and
