Curious Coin cidences.

speaking of curious condolences of our
everyday life, two little things happened a
short time ago that are, perhaps, worthy
of repeating" said an insurance man to
another. MY wife has long wished for
an olive fork. We had used table-fork
and then substituted pair of candy tong s.
but neither proved to be the right thing.
A few evenings before Christmas my wife
asked me to buy an olive fork, but l wasn't
overburdened with money at the time, and
so, much against my will, / was obliged to
ask her to wait little. AS / was about
to step into the Office building the next
morning I saw directly in front Of me q
small jewelers. box. and inside it there
lay the identical fork my wife wanted. l
sent note to the jeweler, telling him the
owner could have it by calling at my
house. No one ever came, and at present
1t is in active service on my dinlng-room
table.
'Some time before this a young girl,
who had become engaged to chum OF
mine, wanted small, chased gold ring IN
lieu of solitaire diamond. In our quest
we entered shop and in one OF the cases
We saw pretty ring. When We looked at
it we noticed in the inside some engraved
initials, which proved to be those of my
chum and his afianced. The salesman
said that the ring had been ordered sew

.BELVEOERE IN DISPUTE
Effort to Recover the Land
to the Govern
ment.
Innocent Purchasers Will Not, How.
ever, Be Disturbed in the
Beautiful Suburb.

An important suit has been begun in
the United States courts to recover to the
Government large tract OF land alleged
to have been tilched from it under the
fraudulent methods outlined in the petit
ton of Zach Montgomery published in
yesterdays CALL.
The land referred to is included in the
Mexican grant known as the Corte Ma
dera del Presidio, adjoining Sausahto and
covering all the area OF beautiful Belvi-
dere," and extends along the west side of
the bay to Tiburon, and thence north and
east, including some OF the finest land IN
Marin County Judge McKisick repre-
sents the Government.
The proceedings, however. do not seek
to disturb the holdings of innocent pur-
chasers Of these lands, so that the dwellers
upon the bluffs over there need not worry.
1t is claimed, however. that there are sui
ficiently large tracts still held by the orig
inal schemers or their heirs to warrant the
suit to recover.
The suit is entitled the United States
against John Reed and others. Reed is
the son of the original locator of the claim,
Juan Reed. AS located originally the
claim amounted to one square league,
which was surveyed by United States Gov
ernment Surveyor Matthewson and ap-
proved by the Government In 1859. Reed,
however, did not take out his patent but
waited until 1860, when Congress PASSED
an act authorizing the surveys of con-
frmed grants to be brought into the Dis
| trict Court.
A man named Bolton, according to the
allegations of the complaint, finding this
grant had never been patented, made a
contract with the Reed heirs by which he
was to get half of all the lands lying out
side the Government survey if he could get
that survey set aside and new survey
made to include more lands.
! Under the new act of Congress the sur
vey was brought into court and for the
! first time the Reed heirs objected to the
Matthewson survey. Their protest was
disallowed, however, and the survey ap-
proved.
| Then in 1864 another act of Congress
| authorized surveys of confirmed grants not
patented to be brought before the Com
missioner of the Land Office.
| Under that act Bolton, or one Valentine,
| who had become his successor, got the case
into the land Office at Washington, and
with a perseverance that was remarkable
kept the matter alive before that Office and
the Secretary of the Interior until 1885,
when the Secretary made an order for the
issuance of patent to all the land claimed.
The patent included the magnificent tract
of $1,000 acres of public land lying outside
of the Matthew son survey. This the Gov
ernment is now trying to recover, declar-
ing that the Mexican Government never
granted this land to Juan Reed.

WHO is DR.. BROWN Z?
The Pertinent investigation a Ca
madam Postmaster Wants
Made

The Federal Department is in receipt of
an odd letter from postmaster in Canada.
The worthy official is anxious, as his COM
munication will show, to know more
about the Brown-Overman scandal, and he
is not averse to asking for particulars, al
though he seems at sea as to the best butt
for his inquiry.
This is his letter:
MELBOURNE, Canada, Feb. %, 1896.
Dear SIR: I saw piece in one Of the daily
papers concerning 2 certain Rev. DR.. Brown of
your City who the papers stated had not acted
prudently and there was trouble. Would you
kindly describe the man to. me and note par
ticularly his expression OF eyes and OF his
hands. Please let this be strictly private, and
oblige Postmaster, Melbourne. Box I03.
P & Kindly state also if he bas wife and
how many children. Please reply as soon as
possible. 6. W. S.
As there is no particular department in
the Federal Department here the duties of
which are to look uD the matters IN ques-
tion the Canadian postmaster's inquiry is
likely to 20 unanswered. The clerks
around the Federal building, however,
spent few minutes each Yesterday doing
the best they could to satisfy the inquiry
by sending the inquirer clippings OF DR..
Brown and everybody else connected with
the case as illustrated in the daily papers.
They did not even forget to send pictures
of hands and sections of bodies foreign to
the subject as photographed by means of
the cathode ray.

caused by intemperance and undue influ-
eence. and also that his legatee was never
legally married to him.
The jury returned a verdict at o'clock
last evening refusing to admit the proffered
instrument to probate on the ground OF
insane delusion with respect to members
OF his own family, his sisters, Francisco
and Fortuna especially, and also upon the
ground OF undue influence exerted by the
proponent, described in the will as "Mrs.
Kate Stauffer Ruffino," to whom they also
found that he was not married, and that
there never was .contractof marriage en-
tered into between her and the decedent.

BACK TO THE BOARD.
Bituminous Rock Specifications Will
Be Again Voted on by the
Supervisors.

The owners of bitumen deposits and
contractors interested in bituminous rock
street work appeared before the Street
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
Yesterday to talk over the proposed speci-
fications for bituminous rock work that
we're vetoed by Mayor Sutro some time
AGO and sent back to the committee for
further consideration.
The Jordan bituminous rock representa-
tives insisted that a provision allowing 10
per cent of sand to be mixed with the ma
teriaI should be put in the specifications,
while other owners objected, claiming that
rock that could not be used without the
mixture with sand was not mt Tor streets
where heavy traffic was carried on. Ihe
opinion was freely expressed that SAND
DESTROYS the life of bitumen. 1t was hnally
decided to send the matter back TO the fail
board in it's present form, and permit the
members to pass the measure over the
MAYORS veto or not as they see mt.
The streetcar companies that nave falied
to obey the provisions Of their franchises,
recurring them to keep the space between
their tracks up to grade and paved were
given warning regarding the matter
Property-owners on Washington street,

was instructed to notify the company 70

days or the City would have it done and
assess the cost to the corporation. 1t was
intimated that unless the corporation
lives up to the provisions of its francnlse
steps will be taken to have the same for
feited.
The committee decided to recommend
that no plank sidewalks be laid hereafter
in the City. The members agreed that ID
lieu of plank sidewalks in the suburban
districts, the Street Superintendent sneuld
require the laying of concrete or bltumen
