WILL GET A MILLION EACH.
J. Z. Davis Fortune Willed to Two
Sacramento Girls.
Lizzie Muir and Mrs. Belle Curtis
to Have Their Uncle'S
Fortune.

Some days ago, when Jacob q. Davis,
the millionaire contractor, a resident of
San Francisco, died in Philadelphia, it
was announced that his vast estate
would probably go to his two nieces,
Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis, who were
born in this city.
The report that they might inherit
something like a million dollars each
was hardly credited, but it has turned
out to be true. The will of the deceased
millionaire was filed for probate in San
Francisco yesterday, and its terms re-
move all doubt on this point. 1t is as
follows:
October l, 1896.
I, Jacob u. Davis, do viii and be-
queath everything 1 have in this world
to my beloved nieces, Lizzie Muir and
Belle Curtis. JACOB H. DAVIS.
f. r. and George II. Mastick had
charge of the will and offered the same
for probate.
The two ladies named as legatees
We're nieces of Mr.. Davis wife, Eliza
beth McGregor Muir, who died in San
Francisco September 10Th of this year.
The daughters have been members of
Mr. Davis household for several years
and were with him in Philadelphia
when he died there October 2Sth.
The estate left by Jacob Davis is of

great value. It consists of business
blocks and residence property in San
Francisco and of wealth in several
other forms. Mr.. Davis was a member
of the firm of Boyd & Davis, capital
lists. The two men were brothers-in-
law, and their association has been in
innate for fiftyfive years.
Among the pioneers of the gold rush
to California was James Muir of St.
Louis, Mo. He brought with him his
wife Mary and her three young sisters,
Elizabeth, Jennie and Margaret Nc
Gregor, whose mother had died a short
time before their departure. Mr.. Muir
settled in Sacramento and established
home for his little family.
About that time two young Phila-
delphia mechanics, Jacob Davis and
Alexander Boyd, arrived in Sacramento
on their way to the mines. For a time
they worked on the South Fork of the
Yuba River, but later they settled in
Sacramento and became builder con-
tractors Boyd married Miss Jennie
Muir and Davis her sister, Elizabeth.
In 1852 the city was swept out of ex-
istance by great fire, and Boyd G.
DdNlS, VINO Idu removed 10 san fTdn-
cisco, purchased all the lumber they
could get and made a fortune out of
their sales in Sacramento, where they
had contracts for rebuilding many of
the houses themselves. They remained
here until the flood of 62, when they
removed permanently to San Fran
cisco, where they continued to add to
their wealth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis had no children,
but took deep interest in their nieces
and treated them as if they were their
own. Mrs. Davis died in September
last. and her husband survived her
only a month. Mr.. and Mrs. Davis were
associated together in many benevo-
lent enterprises. Their married life
had continued for forty-three years,
and the death of Mrs. Davis was

recovered

EMERGENCY CALL
The Local Military rIade Good
Showing Last Evening.

Just SIX hours notice was yesterday
given the local militia in which to make
preparations to turn out in heavy
marching order to march to-no one
knew just where, and accordingly the
hustle and activity was great.
The order was given to meet at Arm
ory Hall at s O'Clock sharp, and at that
time the local organizations assembled
ready for anything in the line of mill
tary service.
The troops were mustered in the hail.
5S out of 64 men in Company L being
present. 81 out of 10 in Company G, 43
out of 20 in Troop B Cavalry, and the
full complement of the Signal Corps.
The two infantry companies and the
cavalry troops were in fatigue uniform
with blankets and overcoats rolled
over their SoulderS, while the Signal
Corps very considerately-seein the
rain was falling-wore their overcoats
on their backs instead of on their shoul-
ders. Colonel Guthrie had command
and inspected the troops before the
march was begun.
The troops marched under sealed or
ders and until after the start not even
the company commanders knew their
destina ton. When it was understood
that the movement was merely a test
of the celerity and rapidity of concen-
tration, the company commanders We're
inclined to think the time given had
been too long, and would have preferred
that but an hour and a half had been
allowed.
After marching and countermarch-
ing on a number of streets, the troops
once more reached the barracks in
safety, where they were dismissed
after having been complimented by

AN EVENING WITH PYTHIANS.
A Pleasant Affair by Local Lodges Last
Night.
Patriotic Address by Grand Chancellor
McGIashan Music and
Dancing.

The entertainment and dance given
by the several Knights of Pythias
Lodges last night was grand affair
and the hall was crowded. to its fullest
| capacity, Notwithstanding the rain.
The Uniform Rank, preceded by a
bandi- 8 1csaots onPer- OfiLos sh
band of music, escorted the members of
the several lodges to the Western Ho-
tel, where Grand Chancellor c. F. Nc
Glashan was met and escorted to the
hall.
On arriving at the hall, after the band
had rendered an appropriate air, TrusF
tee Van Roy of Confidence Lodge, for
the joint Board of Trustees, stepped
forward and in a neat and appropriate
speech presented to the local lodges a
large silk American flag. In closing
his address Mr.. Van Roy said:
Though from legal standpoint this
American flag becomes the property of
these four lodges, yet in a broad and
higher sense it belongs to each and
every one of u.s. 1t is yours, Grand
Chancellor. 1t is mine. 1t is the
Star spangled banner oh, long may
1t wave, Ger the land of the free and
the home of the brave.
Following the presentation speech,
Mrs. Samuel Katzenstein sang the
Star Spangled Banner in manner
| that stirred every patriotic heart in
the vast audience
Grand Chancellor c. F. McGlashan
made a fitting response to the address
of Mr. Van Roy. He recalled the i'm
pressions made upon his mind during
boyhood days by the flag presentation
as the mothers, wives and sweethearts
of the boys in blue gave the soldiers
the standards they We're to defend SO
heroically and at such great cost He
likened the knights of Pythias to an
army of half a million men achieving
important Victories though not on the
battle field.
There is no fear of an internal war,
he said, to endanger our national ex-
istence when the Knights of Pythias
and kindred fraternal organizations
bind the people of every part of our
glorious country in the bonds of
common brotherhood.
The address was attentively listened
to and generously applauded.
After patriotic strain by the band
L. e. Vandercook recited in an able
manner brakes Address to the Amer
lean Flag"
At the close of the entertainment the
hall was cleared and dancing was en-
gagged in. All present enjoyed pleas

DEMOCRATS are delighted with what
now looks like the certainty of McKin-
ley's nomination for president by the
republicans. If they can't beat Nc
Kinley they can't beat anybody.
Speaker Reed was reported to be so
disguised with the result of the week
just closed that it required not little
persuasion to prevent his announcing
his withdrawal in favor of Mckinley,
whom he has abandoned all hope of
defeating. The McKinleyites want
Reed to take the second place on their
ticket, but his mind will have to I'M
dergo a great change before he con
sents. 1t is said that Mr.. Reed feels
very bitter towards Senator Proctor,
of Vermont, on account of his belief
that Proctor betrayed him to Mckinley
in that state, in the hope of getting
second place on the Mckinley ticket
and it has been intimated that Reed
intends to have something to say about
the hoachery of Proctor, after the meet
ing of the St. Louis convention.
