was reported that three men were bur-
led. A. Southworth and J. S. Arvey

1t now seems certain that the Pacific
Coast Steamship company's steamer
| Corona, which went ashore on Lewis
Island January 90, while on her way to
Dyea and Skaguay, will be saved. Capt.
Miner c. Goodall reports that under
favorable weather conditions he will be
able to float the vessel and have her on
her way south very shortly. 1t is Capt.
Goodalrs intention to bring the vessel
south by easy stages, stopping at Vic
toria to comply with the customs regu-
lations of that port, as the vessel was
wrecked In British waters, and then
proceed to Port Townsend, where his
cargo will be discharged and the vessel
put in seaworthy condition for the trip
to San Francisco. On her arrival there
she will be locked ut the Union Iron
Works and thoroughly renovated. This
work will take nearly a month. after
which she will again be placed on the
Alaskan route.

no will having been found. It is known
that the old man had will prepared
for him, but 1t was thought that 1t had
been executed. Now comes the story
that he made a will several years ago
and left it with the late Judge Baldwin.
Since the death of Baldwin the docu-
ment was mailed TO Christensen. and
after lying i'm the postoffice Mt Stockton

office, and is now in Washington. Eff
forts are being made to get the i'm
portant document, which 1t is said will
give large requests to old friends of

Mrs. ]. Sloan fell Saturday night
from the third floor to the ground at
ii6 O'Farrell street, San Francisco. and
at an early hour Sunday morning she
was slowly dying. with no hopes for
life. She was taken to the receiving
hospital at IL o'clock. suffering from
a fractured skull, broken limbs and
internal injuries. There is a mystery
surrounding the receiving of her ter
rible injuries which will never be
solved. although 1t is plausiby' ex-
planned by the acquaintances of the
unfortunate woman and those who
live In the house. II is supposed that
she was attempting to cross over a
light well from the bathroom upon the
third floor to her own room, and that
she lost her balance and was dashed
bcadlong to the ground beneath In
