BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR
 MARE ISLAND YARD
HON. JAMES McGUDDEN TELLS
 OF LOTS OF WORK THERE.
Return of the Ex-Senator From Europe-England's Regard for This Country Openly
 Expressed.

State Senator James McCudden and his daughter, Mss Katie McCudden, have just returned after an extensive trip to Europe and through the Eastern States. His health has been completely restored by the trip.
 Mir McCudden was greatly impressed by the high esteem and kindly treatment of the people of England for America.
 There seemed to. be- he said, nothing but the kindest feelings for this country. In England there was the greatest en- thusiasm for America and all things American. On one occasion l was in a London theater, when the British flag and the stars and stripes were brought forward on the stage together. The au- dience fairly went wild with enthusiasm and the cheering was simply tremen- dous."
 During his stay in Washington. Senator McCudden had pleasant interview with Chief Naval Constructor Philip Hichborn, who stated that there will be an abun- dance of work at Mare Island for several years, as extensive repairs and alterations will be required to many of the ships now in the Pacific waters. MT. Hichborn be- Eeyes the yard will be kept very busy

Commodore John Watson, the comman- der of the blockading squadron which patroIled the Cuban coast during the war, will arrive from the East this morning. He comes fo take charge of the navy yard at Mare Island. Upon his return from the scene of action Commodore Watson was appointed commandant of the Mare Isl and station
 Watson belongs to the same school of naval fighters as Schley and Dewey. He received his first training with them under the eyes of Farragut in the memorable run ming of the Mississippi forts In service Commodore Watson is the senior officer. At the height of the war when the Gov ernment had determined to make strong and final strOks by sending an American fleet across the Atlantic Ocean, Watson was given the command and preparations were begun for his departure with an in- creased fleet.
 Then the war took another turn-toward peace-and the trip across the Atlantic was never realized. Commodore Watson Is well known on this coast, having been a frequent visitor here. He was at one time captain of the cruiser San Fran cisco. His sons received a part of their early education In this city. His two daughters are well known in Washington society. one of them being young woman of striking beauty.

AN UNSOLVE
 MYSTERY IN
 SEWER BILLS Two Payments for
 One Job. NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN IT AFTER MANY DAYS SOME CASH
 CAME BACK. Contractor A. J. Raisch Now Won ders How the Duplication
 of Bills First oc- cured.

In Auditor Broderick's annual report appears an item under the head of tered its to Street Department fund.- as fol- lows: Refunded S416 22." That is all, but there Is a story connected with 1t.
 Some six years ago 4. J. Raisch was a deputy in the office of Street Superin- tendent Gilleran, and at that time ac- quired a knowledge Of the fat profits which accrue to the man who is able to obtain contracts for constructing city sewers and pavements. Three years later found him in business as the San Fran cisco Paving Company. In fact he was after the contracts as a whole corpora tion and two separate individuals besides. Bids flowed in for street work from A. J. Raisch and W. C. Raisch and the afore- said San Francisco Paving Company, in all of which 1t was commonly reported that A. J. had a direct interest.
 The city wanted a seWer-out on Cali San Francisco Paving Company wanted to build it, either one, or all three.
 The sewer. was built. It is there now. but who built it, or how many different men or companies built it, remains to this day dark mystery, A. J. thought that he built 1t, and he presented bill for some $4l6 22 on account Of the con- struction. The City and County Auditor allowed the pill and the Treasurer paid 1t. This was over two and half years ago. A short time afterward another bill for $416 2 coming in from the Raisch combine was audited and paid and no- body noticed that 1t was for the same work that had been paid for previously. Neither A. J., nor w. C., nor the Paving Company apparently noticed the double payment. If either had suspected for a moment that two payments for the same job was being exacted of the city there can be no manner of doubt but that one and all of them would have loudly pro- tested against receiving so much extra cash from the Treasurer, and would have compelled him to desist from a double payment. But no one noticed it and the city paid just twice, but no more. Many months drifted by and the error was not corrected. Finally some six months ago an inQuisitive man happened to cast an eye over the duplicated demands in the Treasurer's office and wondered-to the ultimate profit of the city He asked some questions at the city building and then started in search of one of the Raisch partners. During the conference which followed the contractors books were called upon for evidence and, loi the mistake was found.
 No grass was allowed to grow before W. C. Raisch dropped into the office of City and County Treasurer and Daid in the sum of $416 P on account of the Ier-

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Heavy Door of Safe Breaks Sud
 denly From Its Hinges.

ALAMEDA, Oct. 5.-A peculiar accident took place in the pOstoffice this morning, which narrowly escaped having serious results The valuables of the place are kept in a great double-door safe, standing about six feet high. Deputy Postmaster Marston opened these doors this morning, and then instead of going to his deck, which stands directly in front of the safe, he stepped few inches to one side. AS he did so. without a particle of warning one of the doors fell with a crash 10 the floor, both hinges having broken short of As the door fell 1t struck the front of the desk used by Mir. Marston, smashing it into pieces Had he been in his customary place he must have been terribly injured and perhaps killed, as the door weighs nearly half a ton Ex- animation of the broken hinges showed that one of them had an old crack in the metal. This is supposed to have been caused years ago when the safe in Ques- ton went through Q fire in San Francisco. IL was not badly damaged, and was re- paired subsequently,. There was no way CT discovering the crack in the iron.
