RAIDED GRAND BEACH COTTAGES.
Summer Residenc es Entered But No Par
ticular Harm Done.

Early yesterday morning Mr.. George
S. Payson of this city received tele-
gram from Grand Beach,a summer resort
adjoining Pine Point, Informing him
that his among the other cottages. had
been broken into sometime during Satur-
day or Sunday nights.
Nh. Paysop, accompanied by Mr. H.
r. Whipple, another cottage owner, pro-
ceeded at once to the place to ascertain
| what damage had been done.
They found that every one Of the ten
cottages there had been entered. The
burglars had gained admission to the
cottages in each case by breaking the
windows. Nothing of value was left iu
any of them. In Mr.. 81. L. Wh1pple's
cottage 1T was apparent that the invaders
had spent the night there Judging from
the condition of the bed and bedding.
Mr.. Whipple also found some crackers in
| bag which the party had left,
| Some jelly left in d closet had been
appropriated to their use. pack of
cards was found on the floor of one of
the upper rooms. The only articles of
value taken so far as known was coat
be longing to MIR. Wbipple.
| The other cottages entered are owned
by Hon. Thomas B. Reed, Clarence Ham
| lin, A. r. Wright. George S. Payson,
| George H. Fletcher and E. NJ. Clement,
all residents Of this city.
The other cottages are owned by Capt.
| James Andrews of Biddeford, Mrs. Hoyt
of Rochester, N. Y, and DR.. J.T. Mich
OILS of Gam bridge. Mass.
The cottagers who reside at Grand
Beach employ man residing near
| by to act at Waterman during the sum-
| Ter season and it is from this man that
the cottagers learned of the depredatiOns.
There seems to have been no damage
done to the property other than the brok-
en- glass in the windows of each cottage.
The cottageIs are of the opinion that
th work was done by gang from Saco
or Biddeford or possibly from Dunstan's
corner, point nearer the beach than
either of the places named above.

that all federal legislation ON this sub
jeot may fall short of its purpose os,ause
of inherent obstacles, and also because
of the complex character of our govern
mental system, which, while making the
federal authority supreme within its
sphere, has carefully limited that sphere
by metes and bounds which cannot be
transgressed. The decision of our high
court on this precise question renders 1t
quite doubtful whether the evils of trusts
and monopolies can be- adequately treated
through federal aution unless they seek
directly ana purposely to include in their
objects transportation or intercourse be-
tween Staues and foreign countries.
1t does not follow. however. that this is
the limit of the remedy that may be
applied. Even though it may be found
that federal authority Is not broad enough
to fully reach the case, there can be no
doubt of the power of the several States
there should be no reason to doubt their
Willingness to judiciously exercise such
power.
IN CONCLUSION.
In concluding this communication,
its last words shall be an appeal to
the Congress for the most rigid economy
in the expenditure of the money it holds
in trust for the people. The way to per-
picking extravaganza is easy, but re-
turn to frugality is difficult
When, however. it is considered that
those who bear the burdens of taxation
have no guaranty of honest care save IN
the fidelity OF their public servants, the
duty of all possible reJrenohment is
plainly manifest. When our differences
are forgotten. and our contests of political
opinion arc no longer remembered.
nothing in the retrospect of our public
service will be as fortunate and comfort
ing as the recollection of official duty
we'll performed and the memory Of a con-
slant devotion to the interests of our con-
fiding fellow countrymen

Not long ago it was found that he was NV
ing in Central Am erica, where ne owned
thousands of acres of coffee plantations
and other profitable investments.
Soon after his whereabouts was discov-
cred he was attacked with a serious illness.
and was informed by his medical adviser
that he had not long to live. A few
months ago, without any warning, he re-
turned to San Francisco as suddenly as
he had left. 1t was somewhat difficult
for his wife, who still resides in this city,
to realize that he was her long lost hus-
band, who for many years had been re-
garded as dead. There was family re.

is Supervisor of Sacramento, and nu-

the old pioneer coffee-planter was not
aware.
Since his arrival be has been gradually
failing in health, and although small
fortune was spent by him in search for re-
lief, it produced no result and he died
from complication OF cancer and ma
laria contracted in South America among
his mines and plantations.
Samuel McBrown was a native of Meade
County, KY, where he was born sixty
eight years ago. He was a graduate of
Mt. Morana College and studied law with
the Hon. James Stewart. graduating be-
fore he reached the age of 81. In 1S49 he
was attracted to California by the stories
of gold discoveries and came here by way
of New Orleans on the steamer Falcon. in
company with AL Hollen beck, now of Les
Angeles; Edward MCGOWAN. Colonel Will
liam Gift, Secretary of State under Presi-
dent Jackson; Orrin Bailey and Charles
Foster. He at once engaged in mining in
Tuolumne County, afterward going to the
northern mines at Fosters Bar, Yuba
County, finally locating in Nevada
County.
While living in Nevada County he mar
ried Miss r. L. Hartman, daughter of Dr.
Andrew Hartman, the pioneer fruit
grower OF that section. When the silver
excitement broke out in what was then
the Territory of Nevada Mr.. McBrown
opened law Office in the town of Austin,
with George @. Hupp of Nevada City for
a partner. They succeeded In their pro-
fession. and were followed by Judge John
S. CARRIER, now of Berkeley, who lately re-
tired from the firm of CARRIER, Boalt &
Bishop.
After laying the foundation of a fortune
in the mines Mr.. McBrown moved to
Oakland, and between this city and San
Francisco he lived few years. He then
went to South America and returned home
to die. The funeral took place this after
noon at the Masonic Cemetery. The pail

. BERKELEY, CAL. Dec. 1.-Apropos of
the recent charges brought against Coach
Butterworth as to his alleged neglect OF
duty as Berkeley's football instructor,
Captain Ransome has prepared state
ment to the public in which he resents the
attack and deplores that the football men
at the university have been placed in such
an unsportsmanlike position. He says
Butterworth did all in his power to make
the team efficient, and that it was no fault
OF the coach that the team failed.

Mr.. Butterworth and that we do not hold
him responsible for our defeat. We were
defeated fairly and squarely and have no

aerossethe estuary Speaking OF the mat
ter To-day District Attorney Shook said /:
This county is in, most delicate posi-
lion. 1t built the .Webster-street bridge
in 1872 in conjunction with Senator Fair
by. special act of the Legislature, which
located itsin its present position. By this
the. railroad may at any time take its
tracks and go elsewhere, but only by the
act OF the Legislature can the county leave
1t ana GO elsewhere. The Southern Pacific
afterward constructed the Alice-street
bridge, and can rebuild. remove or tear it
down whenever it sees fit.
The charter line of Oakland is in the
center Of the estuary and that of Alameda
the same, so that any bridge is half in
each city. 1t was for this reason that a
special act Of the Legislature was neces-
sary for the construction of the bridge.
The act provided for special commission.
whose duty it was 10 have charge of the
work of construction. When it was COM
pleted another act turned it over to the
Supervisors aud gave them authority to
keep it in repair and operate it for the
public benefit"
