The malicious attacks of the Evening
Journal" upon the Board of Aldermen
are easily accounted for. That Board
convicted the Journal of getting from
the city $500 by unlawful, Illegal and un-
warranted oyercharges for publishing the
applications for liquor licenses. The
Board directed its law officers to institute
suit against the Journal to recover
the amount after it failed to make resti-
futon. The cowardly methods of the
Journal, and its business manager are
only too well known in his community.
To show up dishonesty of purpose in either
Is a crime TO be punished by every species
Of petty persecution and malicious attack.

The frontispiece is the earliest known por-
trait of Grant, lately discovered and never

Mr.. Garland's Grant paper gets down

He CAN HANDLE THE BOW,
Frederick Helms Claims He Is
the Oldest Fiddler in the
Country.
He Is Sc Years of Age, and Has Been
Compelled to Seek Shelter in
the AlmShouSe.

Frederick Helms, who claims he is the
Oldest violin player in the United States,
Is in the City Prison waiting his transpor-
tatlon TO the Almshouse tomorrow.
He and his wife had been living in a
lodging-house on Washington and Drumm
streets, but as they were in arrears for the
rent OF their room the landlord made them
leave yesterday afternoon. They got an
expressman and with their little belong
ings they drove out to the City Hall to
take the van to the Almshouse. but it had
gone, so they went to the City Prison.
While the old man was in the prison
his wife made an excuse that she wanted
to see the expressman, and when she got
outside she ran westward on McAllister
street and that was the last seen of her.
Helms says he is Sc wears of age next
September. He was born in Hanover.
Germany, and came to this country 68
years ago. He went into the show ousi-
ness and travelled throughout the country
with the Peppers Ghost" missing
Link" and other illusions. He made
money but lost it all and blames his two
surviving daughters by his first wife for
all his troubles. Both are married and
one Of them is living in Bakersfield and
the other somewhere in Oregon.
On being asked if his daughters would
not support him in his old age he shook
MS heau anu salu, they are no good;
needn't expect any help from them"
! For some years the old man has sup
ported himself and wife by playing the
violin in saloons and dives on the Barbary
Coast. Business became so dull that he
could not make enough to pay his rent
and procure food for himself and wife, and
the Almshouse was their only hope.
One of his precious possessions is his
violin, and he was never tired last night of
showing how cleverly he could handle the
bow, although close on 80 years of age.
He does not think his wife has deserted
him, but believes she will turn up at the
prison all right. She was his second wife
and they were married sixteen years ago.
! She is 60 years of age.

WRECK OF THE BLA|RMORE
A Court of Inquiry to Meet
Thursday at the British
Consulate.
Bids for the Raising of the Sunken
Ship Will Be Opened To.Morrow
at Noon.

The capsizing of the British ship Blair
more was the one absorbing topic of con.
versation on the water front yesterday
Men specu!ated as to the why and the
wherefore, and the women pitied the
wives and children and relatives of the
dead sailors. All expressed their opinion
about the catastrophe, and while some
blamed Captain Cav others thoug hit he was
bameless, inasmuch as he was only fol-
lowing the rules laid down by his owners.
The only manner IN which the facts can
be arrived at is by board of inquiry.
This the British Consul has ordered,
and it will sit next Thursday at 10 A. NJ.
1t will be composed of Wellesley Moore.
British Consul; Captain Harvey, retired
British master, and Captain England of
the British ship Thistle, now in port. All
the survivors of the disaster will be called
as witnesses, and the officers and crew on
the British Yeoman will also be heard
from, and their evidence will determine
the verdict.
The question of raising the sunken ship
is now under discussion. Bids have been
called for and will be opened tomorrow.
1t is question of no success no paw and
if the Blairmore is not raised the contrac-
tor will be out and injured on the propos-
ton. The chances are that w hltelaw the
wrecker, will secure the job, and if he does
the manner in which he will 60 to work
will be very simple. The hole cut in the
side of the sunken vessel, by the work.
men of the Union Iron Works will be
patched up and then divers will cut away
the masts and batten down the matches.
The hull will then be pumped out and
afterward filled with air. Then if expecta-
tions are realized the vessel will come to
the surface of her own volition This was
the course pursued in the case of the Earl
OF Dalhousie, and as 1T proved a success
the chances are that it will be followed
again. The bids will be opened to-mor-
row and it remains to be seen who will do
the work.
In spite of the fact that very little of the
unfortunate ship can be seen except at
dead low water quite number of excur-
sion steamers Will run out to her to-day.
The Caroline will make hourly trips from
Mission street wharf and the Ethel and
Marion and the Mile will run from CLAW
street. All three are sure to carry crowds,
as the chance of seeing the tomb of the six
imprisoned sailors will be drawing card.
As soon as the bodies are recovered the
British shipmasters will take charge of
them and the funeral will be under their
auspices.

BUCK AND OHLANDT GET IT.

San Francisco's first electric railroad,
built by Behrend Joost about six years
ago, and known as the San Francisco and
San Mateo Railroad. changed hands yes
terday at noon.
1t was sold at the instance of a judg-
ment creditor, and was purchased by John
A. Buck and Nicholas Ohlandt for $780,
0O0
The sale took place at the Larkin-street
entrance of the City Hail by Receiver
Sanford Bennett, in virtue of a judgment
rendered by Superior Judge Seawell. Feb
ruary last, on a foreclosure of mortgage
for the unpaid interest of borrowed capital
amounting to 81, 100000, the bonds of
which were held in trust by the California
Title Insurance and Trust Company.
At precisely u o'clock, Receiver Bennett
proceeded to read his authority for offer
ing the road, plant and rolling stock for
sale, after which he called for bids.
The first offer came from A. +. Morri-
son, representing Buck 81 Ohlandt, and
the sum named was 5000
1.-TWO hundred and five" said c. G. But
Ter, and the bids ran up $4,000 at a time till
Morrison bid $290,000.
Mr.. Butler raised it $1,000 and it went
500 at bid till 1896, 600 was reached.
Butler then raised it $500 and it went up
at that rate till Morrison bid 100000
Take Mr. Morrison's check, said But
Ter.
Bennett tried in vain to get another bid,
but it was finally knocked down to Mr..
Morrison for $500, 900. He announced that
Buck & Ohlandt were the purchasers.
This road, Notwithstanding the difficult
ties it had to contend with in the shape
or Io1 ,ny,t hnc
line. II cleared Oh an average $4,000 a
month after paying all the running ex-
penses Its total Indebtedness up to the
present time is about 81 100000. This is
the amount which would be necessary to
redeem the bonds upon their face value,
but from the manner in which the bonds
were issued to the S. S. Construction Com
pany at the time that c. c. Butler came to
the rescue of Joost with coin for the COM
pletion of the road after the construction
had progressed 10 a certain point from
where Joost could not extrlcate himself
the amount of ready cash was about one
half of the face value eff thesbonds.
Henceit is thought that the losses to the
bondholders will not be quite so great as
if the bonds had been purchased at their
face value, which was 1,3O6, ,693.
Attorney E. P. Cole will resist the con-
firmation of the sale on behalf of his
client, A. G. Spreckels.
Michael Mullaney, the attorney for
Behrend Joost, announced that his client
claimed the franchise on Sunnyside
avenue, and gave notice that certain parts
of the road passed over private property
belonging to him (Joost). Mullaney
asked whether the purchaser would take
the road subject to certain claims that
were being litigated, at the same time
stating that he had a suit pending against
the company for $4,000, and also whether
