balminS Body.


SAN FRANCISCO, November %
The passengers by the brig J. ID.
Spreckels. were Mrs. r.. Zeigler, DIR. and
Mrs. ]. S. Tracy and NJ Hesselberger
When the brig left the Hawaiian ISL
ands Mrs. Zeigler was accompanied by
her husband, but when the vessel was
five days out he died. Mr.. Zeigler had
been for twenty years bookkeeper OF
the Pahala plantation. Some time ago
his physician told him he was suffer
ing from tuberculosis of the kidneys,
and advised him to make a trip to San
Francisco for his health. Upon reach
ing Honolulu he was taken suddenly
worse and DR.. Tracy told him that the
chances were against him ever reach
ing the Golden Gate. He persisted,
however, and died at sea.
When it came to a disposition of the
remains Mrs. Ziegler refused point
blank to allow them to be consigned to
the deep. There was 10 embalming
fluid on the brig, and Captain Chris
Hansen was in a quandary. Finally he
decided to use some of the sugar which
made up the vessels cargo. All the in
terror organs of the body were remov-
ed, and after the cavity had been
cleansed it was packed full Of sugar.
The hole was then sewed up and the
remains placed in a coffin made by the
ships carpenter.

seven years they have been explaining
how it happened. Yesterday there was
nothing to explain, and there We're few
who sought to cheaper or minimize
their triumph.
The Berkeley team, playing eleven
men as one, swept the brown earth of
Recreation Park like a cyclone. Four
teen thousand people, the largest as
Thanksgiving game in San Francisco

never seen than that exhibited by the
Berkeleyans. For years and years blue

Col OSCAR A JAMES, the Pension
Agent at Detroit, Mich. who has about
$4,000 pensioners On his rolls, is quite
emphatic in his disbelief that there is
any number Of frauds among them. He
has found none since he has been in
Office, and received but three letters re.
ferring TO such. One was an ANONYMOUS
communication evidently spite work
and was at once destroyed, and the other
two made inquiries as to whether certain
names were On the rolls, in which case
they were frauds The matter was al
once put under investigation. With
regard to dead men on the rolls he saws
it is his practice whenever a pensionel
fails to claim his pension to send an
inquiry to the Postmaster, the officers Of
the GAR. Post and Others as to whether
the man has died or not.
