was by q jaunty steamer cap. They
stepped out on the deck, and found II
not at all as dark us they expected. Lit
tie globes Of electric light were placed
at regular intervals in the walls Of the
deck building. Overhead wns stretched
a sort of canvas roof, against which the
slecty rain pattered. One of the sailors,
with a rubber mop, was pushing into the
gutter by the side of the ship the mois-
ture from the deck. All around the
boat the night was rs black as ink. ex-
cept here and there where the white
curl of O wave showed luminous for q
moment in the darkness.
Miss Brewster insisted that Went
worth should light his cigar, which.
after some persuasion, he did. Then
he tucked her hand snugly under his
arm, and she adjusted her step to suit
his. They had the promenade oil to
themselves. The rainy winter night
was not ns inviting to most Of the pas
sengers as the comfortable rooms be-
low. Kenyon, however, and one or two
others came up, and sat down In the
steamer chairs that were tied to the
brass rod which ran along the deck
house wall. He saw the glow Of Went
worth's cigar as the couple turned ut
the further end Of the walk, and Ms the
two passed him he heard a low murmH
of conversation, and now and then
caught snatch of silvery laughter.
It was not because Wentworth had de-
serted him that Kenyon felt 20 uncom-
Portable and depressed. He couldn't
tell just what IL was, but there had set
tied on his mind q strange, uneasy fore
boding. After . time he went down
into the saloon and tried 10 read, but
could not, and 20 wandered along the
seemingly endless narrow passage to his
room, which was Wentworth's rs well,
and, in nautical phrase, "turned in."
It was late when his companion came In.
"Asleep, kenyon7" he asked.
"No," was the answee.
"By George! John, she II one Of the
most charming girls ever met. Won

John, that she had . sister on board"
'Thanks, old man; swfully good of

"Yes, Miss Brewster. you are . for.

"All right, growler, I will." was the

Miss Jennie Brewster was looking at her

her long hair until it rippled down her
back, she smiled sweetly. and said to
herself:

The San Francisco call., 1896-01-15

of Alameda County, died at his home at
Fruitvale last night. The cause OF his
death was heart disease.
Mr.. Dimond was born sixty-six years
ago in County Kerry, Ireland, and when
but IA years of age he took up his residence
in New York. According to the custom of
that time he served an apprenticeship and
when he was 19 he was skilled mechanic
At that age the gold fever broke out in
California and Hugh Dimond at once
struck out for the West. He sailed from
New York on the Cherokee and came to
San Francisco by way of Panama, enter
ing the Golden Gate on June %, 1850.
After securing an outfit the young pio-
neer went ct once to Mariposa and en-
tered on the active life of a miner.
Being an expert machiniSt and
young man of heavy weight and great
strength, he met with success, and at the
end OF two years he had a handsome sur
plus in hand. He then entered into part
nership with &. D. O'Sullivan and w. f.
eastman and opened general store. 1t
proved as profitable as a gold mine, and
the firm made money at a lively rate. In
1862 the firm removed from Mariposa to
San Francisco and opened up wholesale
liquor business under the name of O'Sul-
livan, eastman d Co., Mr.. Dimond being
the "Co." The firm was successful,
and large profits were made. 1t remained
i'll existence for many years, and its sue
cessor to-day is the wholesale house of
Shea, Bocqueraz & Co. OF 527 Front street.
In 1867 Mr.. Dimond purchased a large
tract of land at Fruitvale and at once made
his residence on this side of the bay. At
that time the district was an open country
with very few settlers, but Mr.. Dimond
cultivated his purchase and finally settlers
built elegant residences and few years
ago the suburb took the name of Dimond
and a postotfice was established there.
The investment proved a very valuable
one and when it was subdivided the owner
added largely to his wealth.
In 1872 Mr.. Dimond was married to Miss
Ellen Sullivan, who died in april. 1877,
leaving three children, Nellie, Hugh S.
and Dennis S. For several years Mr. Di-
mond has not been III active business, but
has been large speculator.
He was one of the earliest stockholders
in the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society
and has been a director for many wears.
He attended meeting of the society yes
terday afternoon and was taken suddenly
i'll at the bank, but recovered sufficiently
to go home. After dinner be was again
seized with heart disease and expired two
hours later. The interment will be in
Mount Calvary cemetery.

Town Trustees Meet.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 1.-THE regu-
lar meeting Of the Town Trustees was held
last night. The matter OF the proposed
new entrance to the university grounds
was discussed and resolution was passed
commencing the project, advocating the
construction at Center street and pledging
the town authorities of Bei& &eiey to aid
the regents of the university in the en-
forcement of such rules as may be made
Tor the use of the entrance.
a statement WAS received from Town
Clerk Hanscom showing the receipts and
expenditures of the municipal govern
ment from May 20, 1895, to January 8, 1896.
A protest of L. Akalay against the
assessment of his property near Dwight
way and Prospect street, for grading and
macadlmizing of Dwight way was over
ruled after sharp discussion between
Town Engineer Huggins and Mr.. Aikalav,
the latter claiming that the work had not
been done according to the official grade.
Ward and Precinct boundaries.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. IA compli-
cation of ward and precinct boundaries
has arisen in Berkeley by reason of the
changes in the boundary lines of some OF
the wards made by the new charter.
Wards l and 3 were formerly divided
from and by Grant street, which was
also the dividing line of the precincts for
local or State elections. The ward divid-
ing line was moved west six blocks to Sac
ramento street by the new charter, but the
precinct for State or Supervisorial elections
remains the same.
The wards as defined in the new charter
are each a precinct for the coming special
elections, so that some residents of the
charter precinct or who register therein
are in danger of losing their votes in Su-
perviSorial or Senatorial elections. They
are in precincts and according to Berke-
ley's municipal law, but not according to
the boundaries as fixed for State and
county elections.
A special committee of the County Board
of Supervisors is now investigating the
diff iculty.

Loss for Alameda.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 1.-THE death
OF Hugh Dlmond, the Fruitvale capitalist,
IS hkely to. prove considerable loss TO

chased the southeast corner of Lincoln

brought into great business prominence
oy the recent moving and permanent re-
establishment of the main depot OF the

was planning to erect fine business block
which would have been OF great advantage
and benefit to that part OF the city. This

Not Fair Show.

made that the specifications are so drawn
that they do not sdmit of any bidding
upon any apparatus except the Westing-
house. The manager of the protesting
company was present and voiced his pro-
test as well as wrote it. No action was
taken upon it, however, and the letter was
filed.
