The Work Slow on Account of n Lack

Slow progress was made in the work
of clearing out the wells at the water
works yesterday. An engine could not be
secured from the fire department for use
in flushing the wells. The transfer from
the old TO the new quarters of No. en-
CINE company threw that engine tempor-
arily out of service. and Chief Mcguire
could not afford to let another engine 20
as he would be short two engines. The
chief stated however. that he would be
ready to lend the water department an en-
CINE tomorrow.
An effort was made TO flush one of the
wells by hydrant pressure, two lines of
hose being connected to the hydrant at
the works and the hose connected with
the well The current meter recorded a
difference between II 2-l0 revolutions be-
fore the experiment was made and 1871
after, an apparent increase of $40 reyo-

from the well of about 10000 gallons daily.
The difference was considered too slight.

MRS. ROBERT +. GRTGGs DEAD.
The News of Her Death Brought
Sadness TO Many Hearts.


The sad news of the death Of Mrs. Rob-
ert F. Grlggs at her home in Waterbury,
Conn, brought grief to the hearts Of many
friends yesterday. Her death occurred at
noon Friday after a short illness. Her
mother, Mrs. II M. Branch, was summon
ed north on account of her daughters ILL
ness a few days ago, but it was not
thought then that her illness would prove
serious. Capt. Branch and his son, H. NJ.
Branch, Jr., were called north Monday
by a telegram announcing the dangerous
illness Of Mrs Griggs. They arrived in
time to make complete family circle at
the death-bed
kilograms were received here yesterday,
announcing that Capt Branch and his son
would arrive in the city this morning.
The other members of the family will ar
rive with the body tomorrow morning.
The interment will be at Bonaventure.
No more iovable, charming and more de-
servedly popular young lady ever
left Savannah than Miss Char
lotte Branch, when she be-
came the wife of Mr. Robert F. Grggs
Those who knew and loved her. and they
were many say that nothing too good
could be said OF her Everything that could
be said would be but faint tribute to one
who won the love of many hearts by the
possession of so many admirable qualities.
The general sympathy of the community
goes out to Capt. Branch and his family
in their bereavement.
After having been a favorite in society
here for several years the deceased mar

They Are Having an Auxiliary
Schooner Built at Coos Bay
for Them.
Two Men Seriously Injured in a Col
lision With an Electric Gar
Yesterday.

The Weona Trading and TRANSPORTATION
Company Gncorporated) is getting ready
for the rush to Klondike next spring. 1t
is cooperative affair, limited to twenty
five members, and these members expect
to make start for ST. Michael next April.
The charter mbers are Alfred Nc
Nevin. W. II. Berger, Alva G. Henry, Lau-
ritz j. Poulsen, Ada A. Macdonald, Sam
uel 7. Tucker. Emil Johnson, Charles Pc
terson and Mrs. A. c. McNevin.
The idea of the promoters is to build a
schooner seventy-fiye feet long, twenty
four feet broad and five feet deep. which
will accom- m odate twenty-five persons and
about 100 tons OF supplies, besides deck
load of lum ber sufficient to build a hotel
when Dawson City is reached. The vessel
will also carry a stern wheel and two 25-
horsepower slide valve engines on deck,
and when St. Michael is reached the wheel
will be fastened to the vessers stern, and
with the aid of the engines it is expected
to navigate the waters of the Yukon at
speed of eight knots an hour. The con-
tract for the engines has been let, and
next week Manager McNevin starts for
Coos Bay to superintend the building of
the schooner.
Captain Charles Peterson is to be master
of the vessel, and there are enough sailors
among the prospectors to take the vessel

HAY MAN IS ON
HIS WAY WEST
The Theatrical Manager
Makes a Sudden Exit
From New York.
Rumor Has It That Something
Will Drop on His Arrival
in Town.
Possibility That He Will Dispose of
His Interests in the
Baldwin.

Al Hayman of San Francisco and New
York is due in town next week, and rum or
has it that something is going to drop in
theatrical circles. His coming to the
coast just now is somewhat of surprise
to his friends, for two weeks ago he was
beating his breast in agony in the Eastern
metropolis because the Knickerbocker
season was a sad failure, and he vowed
that he would stay with it until the winter
was over rather than welch. But Hay
man is on the way sure enough, for last
night Al Bouvier, the manager of the
Baldwin, received a dispatch that he was
already on the road, and gossip is busy
specuating as to the cause of his sudden
change of mind.
Bouyier arrived from New York four
days ago, but at that time Hayman had
made no sign that he was so soon 10 be in
San Francisco, and this adds significance
to his coming visit. There are all. sorts of
stories in the wind. The latest batch of
New York theatrical arrivals credit him
with the determination of withdrawing
his connection with the Baldwin and Cali
fornia theaters, for like Frohman he has
suddenly been struck with the idea that
n
When Frohman broke loose some days
age and "cussed" the town because it re-
fused to pay Klondike prices to see some
OF his second hand panies Hayman
added his approval of the sentiment by
signifying that he wo2ld probably contine
his attention TO his Eastern circuit, which
EN- braces theaters IN the big cities the
other side of the Missouri River. The an
nuai meeting of the directors of the COM
pany that leases the Baldwin and Califor-
MIA theaters will be held Immediately on
Hayman's arrival, and of course it is very
probabe that he will be called upon by
his business associates to put himself on
record concerning his intentions.
Now I seems that although Hayman is
nominally the manager Of the California
and Baldwin theaters his interest Is very
slight and his withdrawal from the COM
binaton would not produce any great
convulsion. Those who presume To be on
the inside say Hay man will probably dis
pose OF his interests here upon his arrival
and enter into a friendly Com binat;on for
booking attractions that come as far west
as st. Louis. His withdrawal from the
local corporation would not affect the
theaters here under his control. Both the
Baldwin and the California have been
booked for the coming winter and Bou-
vier, Of course. could see that nothing
went wrong as he has done for some time
past.
II know nothing of Mr.. Hayman's in
tentions," said BouYier last night, 'be-
yond that he has suddenly decided to
come west If he should sever his connec-
ton with the Baldwin, the theacer would
continue open. But we will wait for Mr..
Hay man to talk for himself"

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A BRIDGE.
Giant Powder Bomb Found on a
Structure Spanning &ad
River SIough.

EUREKA, Nov. 5-An attempt was
made yesterday to wreck the bridge OF the
Eureka and Klamath River Railroad
across Mad River slough. A can contain
ing ten pounds of blasting powder, with
fuse attached, was placed on the bridge
in such a position that. had it exploded,
it must have destroyed the structure or
weakened it so that the first train over
would have been wrecked. Dampness
prevented the fuse from igniting and the
bomb was discovered by the track-walker.
The attempt to wreck the bridge is at
tributed to spitework. as it should be a
draw bridge, whereas it is closed and shuts
out people living above il. The company
intends putting in a drawbridge III the
spring.
