CRUMBL|NG TO Ruin.
Two-Story Building on Third
Street Loses a Sustaining
Wall.
Timbered Up With Huge Joists 1t
Seems to Be Resting Upon
Stills.

On the northeast corner of Third street
ana Sherwood place stands two-story
wooden structure which in its present
condition is wonder to the neighbor-
hood. The entire south wall Of the lower
story is gone so that one side of the upper
story would fall were it not for half doz-
en- sky-scraping ioists which are braced up
by the curbstone on the south side of Sher-
wood place and which are notched at
their upper ends. Into these notches the
floor timbers of the upper story are fitted.
The whole building has been getting
readv to fall for some time. The lower
story began to bulge, and. while the upper
story kept an upright position in itself, it
was ready to sag over and go down with a
crash whenever the lower story let go.
The progress of disintegration has been
steady for year. at least. Very lately the
building began to give signs that il was
getting ready to drop soon.
On the lower floor is a saloon kent by
E. P. Modry & Co. On the upper floor
are tenements. Some tenants moved out
few days ago, but the saloon people re-
NAMED, as they have lease The wall
bulged and finally either dropped or was
pulled out. Then workmen came with
the sky-climb bing ioists and Jacks and
screws and propped the building so that
some tenants OF the upper story returned
to their quarters.
Now the saloon has only temporary
wall of rough boards, in fact only fence
on the south side. Notification has been
received shat the premises will be repaired.
This practically amounts to rebuilding the
south side of the lower story. The owner
of the property lives in the East and ia
represented by a local agent.

WILEY FORCED
TO SURRENDER
A Pioneer Merchant at the
Mercy of His Credi-
tors.
BUSINESS WAS SLACK.
Too Few Sales and Small
Profits Eat Up His
Assets.
ONLY HIS STOCK TO OFFER.
Creditors Hold Meeting, but Defer
Action Pending an Investiga.
tion.
ONLY HIS STOCK TO OFFER.

Otis f. Wiley, one of San Francisco s
pioneer merchants. has been forced to
acknowledge his inability to meet his
obligations and has offered to surrender
his assets for the benefit of his creditors.
This move was precipitated by attachment
proceedings instituted by II. III. Babcock,
an Eastern wholesaler, who is Wllley's
principal creditor.
Wiley, under the name of o. F. Wiley
& Co., though the "Co." was commercial
fiction, has been doing business as a dealer
in buggies, carriages, harness, etc., in this
City for nearly forty years. For several
years past his establishment has been
located at 317 Montgomery street and he
was considered to be perfectly sound.
At meeting of his creditors, held at
the Office of Freidenrich, Naphtaly &
Ackerman, the debtors attorney. yester-
day forenoon, Attorney Naphtaly, stated
that Wiley had been losing money at his
business for some years. As result the
business had eaten up everything he had,
and with liabilities of $34, 900 he had
practically nothing to offer as assets but
his stock. This had cost him SIT 900, but
it would be difficult to state what it
would bring at forced sale. Wiley has
some property on California street, some
on Third and one or two outside lots, but
they are so effectually covered by mort
cages as to be unavailable in an emer-
gency.
The creditors, who were mainly Eastern
parties, decided to place the matter in the
hands of H. H. Babcock, he being the
heaviest creditor, to investigate and re-
port next Monday at o'clock. when an
other meeting will be held. All OF the
creditors expressed themselves as satisfied
with Willey's statement of his condition,
and it may be deemed wise to allow him
to proceed to unload his stock. Among
the local creditors are the First National
Bank, the Nevada Bank and Christopher
Buckley.
The indebtedness to local parties is
mainly for money borrowed. The claims
of Eastern creditors, which constitute the
major portion of the obligations, are for

mittees Appointed.

1t is the avowed purpose of the German
Benevolent Society to reconstruct the
buildings now comprised under the gen.
eral term of the German Hospital, by re-
placing the present structures with hand
some stone edifces. The matter has been
under consideration for some time past,
but, owing to the period of depression
which came in with the Cleveland adj
ministration, the project was held in
allegiance and not made public until now,
when the first great step toward that end
is about to be taken in cooperation with
the German Ladies' General Benevolent
Society.
During the coming autumn a monster
musical festival will be held at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion, the proceeds of the
same to be set aside as part of special
fund to be used for the purpose mentioned
Shortly after it was decided to abandon
the idea of erecting at once the new build
ings the constitution of the society was
amended SO as to create special fund
out of all donations, bequests and other
sums of money that come to the society
outside of its regular sources of revenues.
This special fund is to be applied to the
great work of reconstruction on the latest
and most improved plans of all the hos
pital buildings 1t is to this fund that the
proceeds of the projected festival will be
added.
At recent meeting of the society fes-
tival committee was appointed by Presi-
dent B. Broemmel to arrange for the
grand event It comprises the following
members f the two societies named:
Mrs. Regensberger, Mrs. Kreutzmann,
Mrs. Bowman, G. Uhlig, w. Hermann
and @. Goecker.
This committee at meeting held on
Wednesday decided to hold the festival
on the evenings of the 18th and 18th of
October next in the Mechanics Pavilion.
1t will consist of two grand promenade
concerts, to continue from s to IL o'clock
on each of the evenings named. The
music will be furnished by q brass band
under the leadership of Gustav Hihrichs.
The following committees were ap-
pointed to arrange the details of the af-

The State Board of Prison Commission
ers was to have met yesterday, but the
meeting was postponed owing to the un-
avoidable absence of several of the MEM
bers. At the next meeting some atten-
ton will be paid to the grain-bag industry
and the iutemills. From January 1 to
date Warden Hale has sold 2951, 900 grain
bags, although the season did not start
until March. The July output of the mill
was $4,000. besides $1,000 sugar bags for
the Sandwich Island trade. There are now
on hand 257S, 900 grain bags.
1t is expected that at least 1.000,0 900 bags
will be ordered by the farmers, as there are
several localities where the threshing will
not be in full swing until the middle OF
September. Orders are still coming IN

take $4,000 more to fill this fund, after
which any excess may be used for i'm

desire of the directors recently to dispose
of a large quantity of the surplus bags on
hand was to prevent being obliged to draw
on the general fund to pay the running
expenses of the jutemill.
One of the newspapers recently made an
unfavorable comment upon the quality of
the bags produced. but the Warden is in
receipt of many fattering testimonials,
showing the bags to be of excellent mate
rial and construction, in fact. superior to
the bags made in Calcutta. G. A. Sperry,
manager of the big Patterson ranch in

are of the first quality, while the annexed
