 The deeds are from Mary Kelly to the Alcalde Company, from Mary Kelly to Jonathan White and from Jonathan White to the Alcalde Company. The property deeded by Jonathan White and Mrs. Kelly to the Market Company is identical, both he and Mary Kelly deed- ing a half interest. The deed from Mary Kelly to Jonathan White includes a half interest in fifty-vara lot commencing in the middle of the block on Pine street, between Kearny and Dupont streets, and which contains that portion of St. Mary S street to which the Market Company has long endeavored to gain title. All three deeds were made in January last, but not recorded.
 Some time ago the story of the incorpo- ration of the Alcalde Market Company was made public, and at that time it was stated the object for which the com panv was formed was to secure posses sion of St. Mary's street, from which all the immoral characters who had for years infested it had been driven by the Board of Supervisors. The street does not appear on the old maps of the city, and the claim of the company will prob ably be that the street never had been a

And How Mrs. Pinkham Helps
 Overcome Them.

Mrs. MARY BoLLINeER, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, H., to Mrs. Pinkham:
 "I have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhea, pains over my body, sick headaches, backache, nervousness and weakness. tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Com pound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that l am entirely cured"
 Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. sO6 Findley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:
 For a long time 1 suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak l was hardly able to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhea. After doc toring for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, had given up all hope of being we'll again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound was doing. l decided immedi- ately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash can say feel like a new woman I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. Ihave her alone to thank for my recovery, for which am grate- ful.

 For this reason the report that the AL calde Company was formed for the pur- pose of getting possession of the street was the cause of a great deal of com ment.

WIDBER PLEADS NOT GUILTY. Judge Carroll Cook Refuses to Dis z miss the Indictments Against

A. c. Widber, the defaulting City Treas urer, was before Judge Cook yesterday to plead to the four indictments against him charging him with felony embezzlement. When proceedings were opened Judge Cook denied the motion of the defendant to set aside the indictments on the alle- gation that the grand juries which con- sidered the case of the defaulter were prejudiced against him. Widber entered a plea of not guilty in each case. On mo- tion of the defense it was agreed to have the cases go on the calendar on August 15, to be set for trial. When Widber was ar rested he stated that he would plead guilty to embezzlement, but yesterday s proceedings proved that he has changed his mind since that time and will make a hard fight for his liberty.

Unfortunately the cook was the only

While these facts were brought ont

The cook discharged the captain and

NO MORE HUGGING IN THE DANCE
YOUNG MEN MUST NOT SQUEEZE
THEIR PARTNERS.
This Is the Edict Of the Dancing
Professors, Who Propose to Stop
All Vulgar Positions"

New York, Sept. 10.-Hugging while
Waiting is under the ban. The decree
has gone forth from the men who teach
waltzing that no more hard pressure
shall be permitted during the process
of the fascinating whirl. Reprimands
are in store for all young men, or
young women either, who persist in
hugging in the dance
All this has been decided upon at
the twenty-first annual convention of
the American Society of Professors of
Dancing, which has adjourned, after a
four days session in Lyric hall, after
adopting the new dances for the COM
ing season, electing officers and settling
other -aatters interesting TO the dane
ing world.
Much of the time of the convention
was given up to a discussion of meth
DDS for remedying what the dancing
masters term vulgar positions" as
stunned by dancers in round dances.
Just what the masters desire to putt
stop to in some effective way is, in
plain terms, 'hugging."
1t, is matter that recurs annually
at the meetings of the society, and a
matter very distressing to the teachers
of the terpsichorean art. During the
coming season the masters will strive
hard with their classes to make their
pupils assume a correct position in the
waltz and the two-step.
The new dances and the new figures
in the german for the coming season
will feel the influence of the war with
Spain. There will be much display of
flags and patriotic colors in the german
figures. Admiral Dewey, who has al
ready had many things named after
him, viii have a figure in the german
bearing his name. 1t was the first of
the new figures to be adopted by the
dancing masters. The bombardment of
Manila is the belle, the ladies and the
gentlemen standing in opposing lines
variegated hues, which burst in the
air and send their ribbons of paper
scattering over the room.
Another figure based on the war is
the camp figure, in which paper tents
are placed in each corner of the room.
The gentlemen hide in these tents,
sticking q finger through the paper,
and the ladies, circling around, grasp
the protruding fiugers and drag the
owners thereof through the paper walls
of the tents, to be captors in the dance.
Other figures, based on military lines,
are the Stars and Stripes" Imperial
Lanyards" and Charge of the Light
Brigade" There will be a Volunteer
Waltz" which differs from the ordinary
waltz in having long side step to the
left. Other new dances will be the
Glass Day Polka" and the Cadet
Lancers." The five-step polka will, by
removing some difficulties in the way
of learning it, vie for popularity with
the two-step.
These officers were elected: Presi-
dent, NJ B. Gilbert, Boston; vice presi-
dent. David B. Bowen; secretary, Wal
ter 7. Curtis; treasurer, ]. T. Martin
1t was decided to hold the next an
nual meeting in this city next Sep

FATAL FEACING BOUT.
Ex-oficer of the French Army Killed
In a Friendly Contest.

New York, Sept. 10.-Two men in a
spirit of friendly rivalry tried a bout
with foils last night at the room of
the New York Fencing association,
with the result that one is dead. The
dead man is Captain Hippolite Nicolas,
formerly an officer in the French army,
and organizer of the New York Fenc-
ing club. He was 63 years of age and
had seen service. first in the italian
war. then in the inca and last in
the Franco-Prussi2n troubles. Charles
under the French. Like Nicolas, he is
a fencing master. The two were friends
of years standing. 1t has long been
their custom TO meet in friendly prac-
tice bout with the foils every evening"
They fenced yesterday, alone in a room.
Thieroelin made a thrust with his foil.
Captain Nicolas was fencing with his
left hand. He was slow. Thieroelin's
foil slipped up his arm and struck his
collar bone. Five inches of the foil
broke off and Professor Nicolas drop
ped on the floor.
Have l hurt you" asked Thieroelin
NO" the other man replied Then he
became unconscious. He died in a few
minutes. Physicians summoned exam
ined the body. A small tear in the flesh
was found under the left shoulder of
the dead man. All agreed the wound
could not have caused death. 1t was
their opinion death was due to heart
disease brought on by the shock THE
roelin was arrested.

SPANS NAVAL WEAKNESS.
Has No Engineer Corps and Relies
Upon Machinists.,

Washington, Sept. 1O-The Russian
naval captain, Prince Levin, who was
sent by his government with the North
Atlantic fleet to witness the operations
before Santiago, has expressed the
opinion that, aside from gunnery. one
of the greatest weaknesses of the Span
ish warships was in the engine rooms.
The Spanish navy has no special en-
gineer corps, and like the French navy,
relies upon machinists to run the en-
gines. The weakness of this system
was revealed in active service, and no
where so markedly as in the case of the
torpedo boats and torpedo boat des-
troyerS.
The remarkably few instances of
breakdowns in the machinery of the
United States warships was attributed
by Captain LEVIN entirely to the in
telligent supervision over the complex
mechanism exercised by the naval en-
gineer corps. The navy department
has learned that the French minister
of marine NJ. Lockroy, has ordered
that a torpedo boat be assigned per-
manentiy to the marine school at
Brest for the practical instruction of
naval cadets in the management of
steam machinery. Heretofore, as in
the case of the naval academy at
Annapolis, the cadets have their whole
training on sailing vessels and have to
learn the management of steam ma
chinery after they went into service.

AGu|NALDO PROPOSES TO RULE
WILL RUN THE CONGRESS TO
SUIT HIMSELF.
Ingenious Plan By Which Majority
of the Members Will Be Appoint
ed By Himself.

New York, Sept. 10.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: General
Aguinaldo, in his capacity as president
or dictator, in calling meeting of the
Filipino congress" has disclosed the
fact that he has planned to have COM
plete control of that body from the
start. He will obtain control by APP
pointing a majority of the representa-
tives of various districts. This social
ed congress is to meet in Malolos on
Oct. Is. so that Aguinaldo may have
ample time in which to choose the men
who will uphold him in his dictator
ship.
With a pretense of fairness Aguin-
aldo provides in his decree calling the
congress to assemble that Spaniards
who have resided in the Philippine is
lands for ten years may exercise the
right of suffrage in the selection of
representatives. In districts where no
revolution has taken place Aguinaldo
will himself choose the representatives
and ii is by this means that he will
obtain full control.
The revolution has been confined to
the island of Luzon and a small section
of Mindanao. On these two islands
only will a vote be taken in choosing
representatives in the congress. The
vote on the island of Mindanao will be
confined to the small section where the
natives have been in revolt The inSur-
gents will easily control the selection
of representatives in these sections, so
that the right of suffrage conferred
upon the Spaniards who have resided
in the isuand for ten years will have
little or no bearing on the election.
Since Aguinaldo has conferred upon
himself the authority to choose repre-
SentativeS from the districts where no
revolt has taken place, there will be
no possible chance for any move to
wrest the leadership from him. So far
as this congress is concerned his au-
thority will be as absolute as that
which Spain has exercised.
Santa Cruz, the last position held by
the Spaniards on Manila bay, has been
taken by the insurgents, who have fol-
vengeance upon some of the priests of
that section.
A story comes from Iba in the north
ern part of the island of Luzon about
the cruel treatment of a Spanish bishop
by rebel sympathiZers The prelate was
compelled to disclose the hiding place
of the money belonging to the church.
The insurgents are strongly fortify-
ing Malolos, where Aguinaldo has tenn
porarily established the capital of the
rebel government.
That the insurgent leader is bent
upon mischief becomes daily more ap-
parent. An American officer of high
rank has informed me that crisis in
affairs here cannot now be delayed
many days, a fact which, he says,
should be fully considered by the gov
eminent at Washington.
