Duyer, one Of the men employed, had his
right leg broken above the knee by large
powder which rolled from the face of the

The new building in course OF construc-
ton on the northeast corner of Kentucky
and Napa streets, owned by DR.. Wemple.
will be occupied on the first of June as a
drugstore by III. r. Harris. This removal
will cause change in the location OF the
postotfice station from its present place on
the corner OF Butte and Kentucky streets.
Other new buildings in addition to DR..
Wemple's are being constructed for resi-
dence purposes in several localities on the
line of Mariposa and the cross streets in
the vicinity of the business quarter.
From I. II. Aven, an old resident OF the
Potrero, who hau just returned from the
scene of the submerging of the British
ship Blairmore, it was learned that the
divers had succeeded in removing two OF
the masts and some Of the yards from the
capsized vessel
This success gives hope to the wreckers
that the ship will be dismantled of all of
her rigging before the end of the present
week. This done, the work of getting her
on an even keel will be less difficult, and
may finally end in getting the hull high
and dry before many weeks pass.
Work at the Union Iron Works and the
rolling-mills has not been so dull in years
as at the present time.
The steel castings for The CALLS new
building, which is considered heavy con-
tract, with additional rails for the Folsom
street electric road, are all that may be
considered extensive undertakings at that

ALLOWED BIG INTEREST
Judge Hebbard Has Materially In
creased His Decision In the Hale
& NorcrOss Case.

Judge Hebbard, after hearing argument
on the matter, has decided to allow inter
est on the judgments in the Hale & Nor
cross case from June II, 1892, the time the
judgments were originally rendered.
1t was objected by the defendants
C counsel that as the amount was uncertain
up to the time of the last Judgment no in.
terest should be allowed at least upon the
judgment just rendered-the SALT ,6S3.
The Judge held, however, that the
plaintiffs were entitled to interest at least
from the time of the fist judgments If
not from the time of the actual frauds.
He did not wish to inject another issue
into the case, however, so judgment was
given from the time of the first decree.
The rate allowed IS per cent per an
mum on two judgments, one of SAL. .6S3
and the other for S210, 1877 so, total of
$627, $50 so. The interest will amount to
about $43.951 year, or so far total of
nearly $l75 600.

ANNUAL CHESS TROPHY.
Petition to Mechanics Institute to Offer
Suitable Trophy Annually.

Petition to Mechanics Institute to Offer
Suitable Trophy Annually.
The following communication has been
addressed to the board of trustees of the
Mechanics Institute:
To the Honorable, the Board Of Trustees Ne
chdnics InStitute-GENTLEMES: The under
signed committee, appointed alta meeting held
on the 1st inst for the purpose of bringing be-
fore your honorable body the matter of provid-
ing suitable trophy 10 be contested for annu-
ally by the chess players of the institute, beg
to submit the following:
1t Is universally conceded that chess is to the
mental faculties what athletics are 10 the
physical-that is, highly beneficial exercise
II pursued in the proper manner.
The study and practice of chess, therefore,
should be encouraged and fostered in every
possible way, and one of the best means to
spread and further the game has been and is
the holding of congresses and tournaments,
the playing OF matches, etc, and the subse-
quent publicity given them by the press and
chess literature.
The element of competition enters largely
into the game, and TO that may, in great
measure, be attributed the attraction and fas-
cination it exercises when once acquired.
The committee are OF the opinion that a suit
able trophy offered annually by the institute
and contested for under such rules as you may
deem proper would greatly assist and stimu-
late competition, attract new asprants for
such honor, and prove alike beneficial to the
institute and TO the cause of chess.
They therefore, on behalf of all the chess pa
fOr favorable consideration OF this matter
and have the honor to remain,
Very respectfully, your obedient servants,
