WEATHER REPORTS.
Director Barwick Expatiates at Length
on the Fog.

The Weather Bureau report shows
the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have been 80 and 80 de-
grees with light northerly winds and
cloudy or foggy weather prevailing.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 4S and Al
degrees, with .06 of an inch Of rain,
and one year ago to-day 81 and 30 de-
grees. with no rain.
Yesterday was like one of those days
of January, 1898, when the sun was
invisible for several weeks. Yesterday
was the first totally foggy day here for
number Of years in December. The
air was SO completely saturated at .
p. m that no evaporation was going
on, as both the wet and dry thermom-
eter recorded the same temperature.
viz, 45 degrees.
In fact, the air was oversaturated,
ard What the atmosphere could not alb
sorb formed itself into very minute
Particles of moisture, called mist, but
it was not missed very much by those
who encountered its chilling dampness
last evening.
1t is greatly to be hoped that no
such weather is in store for us as was
experienced during the session of the
Legislature in January, 1895, for our
visitors will begin to think that we
have a "beastly" climate, as the Eng
lish say. What is required to dispel
this gloomy weather is little more
wind or motion in the atmosphere, that
it may bring dryer air to replace that
which is already supersaturated.

1t is expected, With what will come in
the next few days, that last years t total
Will be reached, and perhaps passed,
as the needs are if anything greater
this year. There will be none too much
money to do justice to the great num-
ber of worthy applicants.
A strict investigation is being carried
on by the officers of the army, and the
imposters of which quite few have
been found, are being weeded out TO
make room for the really deserving
cases. Information of either worthy or
unworthy cases will be gladly received
at the headquarters of the army.
In answer to fears that have been
expressed by some that the poor from
other cities might be induced to come
here by the announcement of the
Christmas dinner, etc. the army Off
cials would like to inform the public
that in every city of Importance in the
whole country these Christmas dinners
and presents to the poor are and have
been for some time a part Of the army's
work.
Though the Salvation Army's Food
and Shelter Depot has only just started
and is hardly in good running order yet,
the following figures Will convince the
most skeptical of it's practical benefits
to the unemployed.
Yesterday forty-five men We're fed and
nineteen occupied the hunks at night
and six were given warm baths Out
of this number twenty-six paid for
what they got by work furnished them
on the premises. 1t would be a great
boon to these men if the night shirts
asked for in Sundays Record Union"
would come along. They should be sub
Stantial and warm
Those wishing to aid this deserving
movement should not fail to keep sup
piled with tickets which they can buy
from the office at 1115 Seventh street
at the rate Of twenty for 81 This is
about the only regular source of income
there is. as the work done by the men
while it may be worth what they got
hardly brings any return.
Now, every citizen should keep sup
piled with these tickets, give the ap-
plicant at your door or office a. little
work to do and pay him in tickets The
army will do the rest
Then, If you think a man is really sim
cere in his poverty, give him a few
tickets to tide him over till he has
chance to brace up, clean up and look
around him for some way out of his
difficulties Don't forget the night
gowns. and don't forget to buy some,

STEAMER KNIGHT RUN down.
The Modoc COlIided With Her in the
Fog Yesterday.
No Serious Damage Done, But the
Knight Lies Partly Sub
merged.

The freight steamer d. z. Knight, No.
z, was run down by the passenger
steamer Modoc at point opposite the
foot of street shortly after 10 O'clock
yesterday morning and now lies partly
submerged on the Yolo shore.
The Modoc slipped her cables at 10
o'clock yesterday morning and started
for San Francisco. The fog was so
dense that objects We're not discernable
at a greater distance than 100 yards,
and when the Knight was sighted it
was too late to avert a catastrophe.
The Modoc, head on, struck her
little after midships and tore a great
yawning hole, through which the water
rushed, and the Knight began to settle
Seeing that she was sinking, Captain
Enos Fouratt Of the Modoc ran his
boat alongside and pushed the damaged
craft we'll upon the sand bars on the
Yolo side Of the river. where she now is.
The knight was en- route from Grand
Island to this city and was loaded with
potatoes. One hundred sacks were
transferred to the Modoc, and with the
barge drawn by the Knight in tow,
the big steamer ran back to her wharf
in this city, dropped the barge, un-
utes was once more on her way to San
Francisco, blowing her whistle every
few minutes.
Short as was her stop here, Captain
Fouratt was seen by a Record Union
reporter and in regard to the accident,
said:
THE Knight was coming up with
barge in tow, and the Modoc was going
down. The fog lay very thick on the
river. When I first saw the Knight
she was on our port side and about
80 yards distant. / supposed all was
clear until she hauled close across our
bow, and we could not stop before we
struck her. We would have passed her
easily if she had not sheared across
our bows. The Modoc was not dam
aged so far as 1 can see"
Captain T. III. Price of the D. e.
Knight, No. ,, was also seen and had
this to say:
'The Knight was coming up, running
very slow on account of the fog, and
barely stemming the current, and the
barge in tow made it difficult to handle
the boat with no more steam than we
carried. 1t is vastly different sailing
with a barge in tow from when there
Is none. The currents will take a barge
and cause the boat to sheer off. When
/ saw the Modoc she was too close to
stop before we struck. She was not
over 300 or 400 feet away and it was
impossible to avert the accident.
When / saw that the barge was
causing my boat to sheer across, I blew
two whistles, the signal to keep to port.
but instead of doing so the Modoc blew
one whistle and kept on. In my opinion
the damage to the knight can be easily
repaired, and it was the intention to
dock her for repairs in a short time.
There will be no loss of freight and 20
body was hurt
When the knight was visited where
she now rests upon the sand. the rent
In her side was covered with water.
Most of the freight is high and dry,
and the machinery, SO far as could be
seen. was not damaged in the least.

OLD HOss.
An Interesting Discovery Made in the
River Yesterday.

For the past ten days there has been
an immense raft of driftwood along the
shore in the river just above the pipes
through which the city's supply Of
water is drawn. Ever since the Grift
became wedged in men have been busy
laying in supplies of wood, and gradu-
ally the drift has been cleared away.
Yesterday morning the men struck
something they We're not looking for.
1t was merely a dead horse, and the
find would not have been worthy Of
notice except for the fact that it was
only a few feet UP the river from the
suction pipes. The carcass was soon
dragged from its resting place and
turned. loose for a voyage to the bay.
No one seems to have remarked the
taste of horse in the drinking and cook
ing water used in the city during the
past week, and the mossbacks will in
siSt, whenever anyone says word in
favor of clear, pure water, that the
river water is the purest and finest in
the world. But there's no accounting
for tastes.

MECHANICS LIENS.
The Chamber of Commerce Wants
the Law Amended.

An Informal meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce was held last night to
consider the proposed amendments to
the mechanics lien law, which were
published in the Record Union" on
Sunday last.
Among those present We're William P.
Schaw. a. Nelson, James Seadler, F.
VI. McIvor, A. Teichard, L. Siller, Secre-
tary j. O. Coleman and Assemblyman-
elect L. NJ. Landsborough, who was
present by special invitation.
In the informal discussion that took
place the object of the proposed amend
ment was fully explained. This was to
fix a time for the acceptance of a build
ing and give fun notice to all con-
cerned that the acceptance had been
made
At present the original contractor
can, by collusion with the owner-and
often without that-so arrange matters
that the right of lien which should in
ure to the sub b-contractors or material

edge as to when a building is accepted.
The amendment is prepared to remedy
this defect and TO make st impossible

ing for more than thirty days without
the creditors of the contractor having
a right of lien.
The necessity of the change was
fully recognized by those present. and
each one promised to use his endeavors
with the members of the Legislature TO
have the bill passed.
After the discussion the meeting or
ganized by the election of w. Z. Schaw
as Chairman, and he was instruotel to

N. C. TILDENS ESTATE.
A Will Recently Found and Filed for
Probate,

1t was supposed until very recently
that Lawyer NJ. c. Tflden, who died in
San Francisco several months ago, left
10 will, but one has been found and it
has been filed for probate in that city.
Tildan had considerable property
chiefly in this city, but before his death
he decided the bulk of it to his son and

Heleft another and younger child, a son
by his second wife (formerly Meta
Woodland), whom he married here in
1888. Fifteen months later they were
divorced, and subsequent to the latter
event the child was born.
In the will just found is a provision
that this younger son, nor his heirs,
should inherit any part of his estate.
The will had only just been filed for
probate when attorneys representing
the child referred to applied for letters

The Curfew.

According to dispatch from Omaha
the Supreme Court has annulled the
curfew ordinance, on the ground that
it is unconstitutional. The points OF
the decision are not stated, but it may
be said that Nebraska must have a
badly defective Constitution to deny so
rightful a police power to the State or
municipality.
The curfew ordinance, Whefe Irled
and enforced, has proved one of the
most effective influences in preventing
or suppressing vice and crime among
children. In an article in the current
number Of the North American Re
view Mrs. John D. Townsend gives the
following testimony to its results IN
Nebraska:
THE Chief of Police of Omaha re-
ports: 1t is now an easy matter 10
enforce home rules Chief Broder OF
ST. Joseph says: The adoption of the
curfew is an act of humanity to that
class Of fathers and mothers with boys
and girls who deny home restraint, ana
it Will prevent crime and save taxes.
Employers of labor say they get better
work because better hours are kept.
School teachers testify that they get
better work for the same reason. Ch1ef
of Police Melick of Lincoln, Neb., says
that after the curfew was in force a
few weeks arrests for disorderly con-
duct and truancy fell off fully 20 per
cent and then adds: / cannot see
why any city government in the coun-
try should hesitate to enact this or
d:nance. The Mayor of North Platte,
Neb., says: In the two years we have
