FAIR WATER FRONT CASE.
Judge Hubbard Decides the State
Has No Interest in the Property.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-Superior
Judge Hebbard rendered his expected
decision in the Fair water front case
to-day He decided that the State OF
California has no right title or inter-
est whatever in the inlet of the Bay CT
San Francisco lying north of the city
between the great reservations, Fort
Mason and the Presidio and the prop
erty rightly belongs to the Fair estate
through a grant to James G. Fair from
the North San Francisco Homestead
and Railroad Association, which 90
tanned it's title from the State in 1Sbi.
The decision is of remarkable im-
portance, since it determines that
Warren & Malloy, the contractors en-
ployed by the Fair estate, may now
proceed with the business of filling in
and improving this property, extending
the city northward, and incidentally
greatly enhancing the value of the Fair
estate. The work has progressed with
great rapidity since the death of Sena
tor Fair in December 1894. but pur-
suant to a temporary restraining or
der issued upon the filing of the COM
plant, had been, perforce, interrupted.
BY the decision of to-day another
action is also decided. II is that of the
Fair estate against the Harbor Com
missioners, to restrain that body from
removing or interfering with a num-
Der of piles driven into the water sur
rounding Fairs property

Big Price for a Broken Heart.

Not long since a Danville, H., jury or
dered the male defendant in breach Of
promise case to the pay the decidedly COM
one. This was thought to be the largest
amount ever awarded by jury in SINH
lar action. Though it is pretty high es-
innate OF blighted affection, there is an
other estimate which If not IN dollars and
cents exactly as high. yet in general con-
sderation of excellence reaches as lofty an
altitude. That is the estimate of the peo-
pie in their general verdict as to the eff
cacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a
remedy for consultation. The action of
this gentle but effective. laxative is never
accompanied by the gripping and other abb
domnal disturbance which precedes or ac-
company the operation of a gripping car
thartic Moreover it is an incompar rable
remedy for and preventive of malarial
rheumatic and kidney complaints, a never
failing means of invigorating the stomach
and nervous system, and promoter of ap-
petite and sleep. Persistence in its use ls
strongly advisable.

BELEW TO ANSWER FOR MURDER.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
AT SUISUN.
Justice Maynard Holds the Accused
Without Bail on the Charge of
Poisoning His Sister.

SUISUN, Feb. 11.-Frank Belew ap-
peared before Justice Maynard this
morning for preliminary examination
upon the charge of having murdered
his sister Susie on November Sth last
by poisoning her. The court was
crowded, people from distant parts of
the county being present.
The defendant was represented by
Attorney Reese Clark of Woodland
and Attorney c. A Lamont of Suisun-
Belew apparently took much interest
in the testimony, and frequently gazed
around the court room as if looking for
acquaintance. When Deputy Sheriff
Donaldson testified as to the confess
sion that he had Killed his brother and
sister with rat poison he assumed a
rather Indifferent look, and showed not
the slightest sign Of remorse.
Precisely at 10 O'Clock the case was
called, with District Attorney Deviin
as prosecutor.
The first witness called was Consta-
BILE Newly of Dixon. who testified as to
having taken the tea kettle from the
residence of the deceased to Professor
Grinstead to have the contents anal
wed He said Frank Belew suggested
10 him the idea that poison had been
placed in the kitchen utensil.
Bruno Klun testified that he was em
ployed in Lewis Belew's livery stable.
He slept in that building and boarded
at the house of the deceased. On the
morning of November Sth, about $50
a meal was prepared by Susie Belew,
and after breakfast he returned to the
livery stable. He had several spells
of vomiting, and remained sick for sew
eral days Susie Belew was lying down
on a lounge in the dining room when he
left to attend to his duties.
Professor Grinstead of Dixon gave
evidence as to the kettle being handed
TO him by the Deputy Sheriff at Dixon,
and that he applied three tests to de-
termine the presence of arsenic. which
he found in considerable quantities.
DR. w. c. Downing of Suisun. who
assisted in the post mortem examina-
ton on the body of Susie Belew, gave
evidence in connection herewith, and
also furnished testimony showing that
Klun was treated for arsenical poison
ing.
Deputy Sheriff George B. Donaldson
was called and averred that Frank Be-
lew had op the Sunday morning follow
ing his confession to press representa-
tives admitted his guilt.
AT the close of the testimony Justice
Maynard held the defendant to answer
to the charge of having murdered his
sister Susie, without bail.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Rendered by Judge Bellinger of the
U. S. District Court.

PORTLAND. Feb. lin the United
States District Court to-day Judge
Bellinger handed down a decision in the
case of the California and Oregon Land
Company VS.. the Government Agents.
seeking to allot the lands of the Klam-
ath Indian Reservation
In this reservation the plaintiff cor
poration sought to restrain the agents
from alloting the lands, on the ground
that it had title to them by virtue of
purchase from the Oregon Central Mil
itary Road Company. The lands in
dispute, comprising about 130,O00 acres
were a portion of the grant of Con-
sress TO the State of Oregon for the
construction of military road from
Eugene City to the eastern boundary
Of the State In 1864 the State decided
the land to the Oregon Central Military
Road Company, which constructed the
road, and the plaintiff in this action
claims 10 have acquired title by pur-
chase from the latter.
The case was presented to the court
on an application for a temporary in
junction, restraining the defendants
from proceedings for the allotment un-
I'll the merits of the controversy are
determined The court denied the ap-
plication, and this virtually disposes
Of the matter as the alloting agents
can now proceed with their work with
out further interruption. If the plaintiff
has further recourse IL is against the
Government for the value of the land
that il claims title TO.
In the treaty. with the Indians the
Court finds that a reservation was made
for the land now known as the Klamath
Reservation. and that title to this never

HALF-MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Levi r. Morton's Seven-Story Office
Building DESTROYED.

NEW YORK. Feb 11.-Levi p. Nor
tons seven-story office building, with
fronta ges, on Nassau and Ann streets,
known as the Nassau Chamber build
ing, was destroyed by fire tonight. The
firemen had hard battle, and for three
hours there was every prospect OF a
great confagration. Every fire COM
pany in the city from Fifty ninth street
TO the Battery was called out.
The Derby Desk Company occupied
both the Nassau and the Ann street
stores. and the basement Of the build
ing where the fire originated was oc-
cupied by the Herald Cycle Company.
From the Nassau Chamber the hre
spread to the feur-story building ad-
joining, and the clothing store OF
Maduro Bros, on the ground floor, was
quickly in flames. The loss here VIII
be practically complete.
Several firemen were badly cut by
flying glass and debris, but none seri-
ously injured.
The Murray stationery store occupied
a small frontage adjoining the DERBY
Desk Company on Nassau street, ana
the concern has very little if anything,
left. The upper part of the Nassau
Chamber was occupied by lawyers as
Offices, and a number of manufacturing
concerns also had offices there. All Of
them suffered severely from the fire.
The Bennett building, at the south
west corner of Nassau and Ann streets,
caught fire several times, but was ex-
tinguished.
The loss is estimated at half Million
the larger share of which will be borne
by the Morton interests, although 1t is
stated they are we'll insured The
Derby Desk Company and the Maduro
Bros are mentioned as the next
heaviest losers.

When court opened this morning for
the trial of Sheriff Martin and his dep
uties. who are charged with the killing
of strikers at Latimer. the defense in
troduced a new feature in the cross
examination by endeavoring to show
that the evidence of the witness was
influenced by the hope of securing dam
ages from the Government in the event
of a conviction. Adam Lapinski was
the witness. He was asked what coun-
try he came from, and replied: Russo

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. n.-A de-
structive fire occurred in the Phelan
building, a large five-story structure
at the junction of O'Farrell and Mar
ket streets, this afternoon, which re-
suited in the loss of Marceau's famous
photograph gallery, and serious damage
10 several other occupants.
The fire started at 2:30 o'clock in the
developing and store room occupied by
Marceau in the attic. and five minutes
later an explosion of chemicals caused
the flames to spread Fortunately the
building is constructed in three sec
tions, each divided by fireproof walls,
and was thus confined to the southwest
corner. A general alarm was turned in,
but before the fire brigade could get
to work upon the fire the flames had
communicated through the elevator
shaft to the fifth and fourth stories,
and had gained good headway.
At first the firemen encountered great
difficulty in getting at the fire effective
ly, but after holes had been cut through
the walls an immense volume of water
was poured into the building, and after
an hours work the blaze was under
control
Marceau, the photographers, suffered
a total loss. 1t is estimated that his
material and furnishings alone We're
worth SD, 900, while his negatives, of
which he possessed a collection unex-
celled in America, is absolutely unre-
placable.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated at $4,000 Other losses We're:
S. Dannenbaum, cigars, $1,000; c.
Muller optician, Sl,5O0: Goldstein &
Cohn, hair dressers, 500; Will &
Finck. cutlery, etc, damage not esti
mated: Frank Sullivan, lawyer. library
damaged by water: Drs. Dunn, Bailey

Butchers Board OF Trade rooms, also
flooded.
Some of the records of the Pacific Di
vision, L. S. A, We're stored in the
fourth story Immediately beneath Mar
ceaus gallery, and were thoroughly
water soaked, but it is believed that
no great inconvenience will result, as
most of the important documents We're
recently sent to Washington for safe
keeping
The building was fully insured, and
all the individual losses are covered by
insurance.

Evidence Regarding EnhezzIement and
FOrgeries May Be introduced.
Judge, Clerk of Court, Jurors, At
torneys in the Case, Detectives
and Representatives of the Po-
lice Department Visit the Scene
of the Tragedy to Examine a
Hole in the Plaster Supposed to
Have Been Made by Bullet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-Superior
Judge Carroll Cook made a ruling in
the trial of Theodore Figel to the effect
that evidence regarding the embezzle-
ment and forgeries for which Figel has
been indicted may be introduced into
the present trial. to show motive for
the killing of Hoffman. So the eyi-
dence as to the nine felony indictments
are to be admitted as evidence against
Figel in the murder trial
The jury to-day visited the scene OF
the tragedy. One of the jurors having
expressed a desire to examine an liz
dentation in the rear wall of the dead
merchants office in the store at Bush
and Battery streets, Judge Cook de-
cided TO let all the jurors so and ex-
anime the premises.
Accordingly, Judge Cook. Oscar Toiie,
clerk; The jurors. attorneys, several de-
tectives and representatives of the Po-
lice Department marched into the store
and examined the alleged bullet mark
Officer George Russell, who drew the
diagrams of the offices, acted as guide,
and explained the objects shown in his
drawings. The jurors, one by one, made
a close inspection of the hole in the
plaster.
Meanwhile Theodore Figel stood a ST.
lent observer of the proceedings. #
the visit to the office of his dead en-
ployer had any effect upon him at all. it
was not observed. He leaned carelessiy
against partition, and waited patient
ly while the twelve good men and t.ue
peered at a bit of broken plaster.
AS the party was about to leave the
store Judge Cook instructed Officer
Russell to cut out the lath back of the
broken plaster, as it was supposed that
it would show that the indentation WAS
undoubtedly caused by bullet.

Perieux were greeted with hostile cries
when they arrived. The court was
thronged. The proceedings opened with
General Pellieux on the stand
General PellieuX testified that General
Saussier. former Military Governor of
Paris. desired a public trial for Major
Esterhazy. but General Billot. the Min
lister Cor War ordered that the trial be
secret Nevertheless, the witness added,
the court-martial refused to keep the
ertire proceedings secret, therefore it
was impossible TO contend that Major
Esterhazy was acquitted by order Of the
authorities.
On General Pellieux leaving the stand.
NJ. Zola said: There are several ways
of serving France. You, General, made
your campaign; but 1 will bequeath to
posterity the name of Emile Zola, and
posterity will be my Judge"
Colonel Picquart was called and mar
rated how he found the fragments of a
telegraphic card in 1896, and concluded
therefrom that Esterhazy was CORE
spending with suspicious parties.
Colonel Pisquart said further: II
was struck with the resemblance Of
Major EsterhaZy's handwriting To that
of the Borderau, and l submitted uho-
tographs to NJ. Bertillon and NJ. Patty
Du Clam and the gentlemen declared
that it was exactly the same as that uf
the Borderau, adding: The Jews would
do anything III the world to procure the
writing of Dreyfus."
Nj. Zola's carriage on leaving; the
Palais de Justice. was followed by a
knot of people shouting Death TO Zola -
who could be heard through the carri-
age windows exclaiming The cowards.'
There was riotous demonstration on

THE PIT1SBURG FIRE.
NO MORE BODIES TAKEN FROM
THE RUINS.
There Are Still Twenty-Six People
Missing Believed to be Beneath
the Mass of Debris.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE work of
searching for bodies in the ruins Of
Wednesday nights awful fire was con-
tinued through last night and to-day
by 200 men, but no more bodies were
found. The debris is still piled ten
feet high, however, and as more than
a score of people are still missing, the
work will be continued without cessa
ton until it is positively known that
no more dead are buried beneath the
debris.
That more people were killed, Chief
Humphreys of the Fire Department
says there can be no doubt. He saw
the walls go down in the midst Of d
great mass of humanity huddled to-
gether in small space, and while he
did not care TO estimate the number
killed, he says it will be largely in ex-
cess of any estimate yet made.
The search for the bodies is attended
by great danger, not only from weak
ened walls, but from 125 tanks of anly-
bride known to still be smouldering in
the ruins. Anyldride is ammonia in
its most powerful state, and its igni-
ton would result in an explosion which
would cause incalculable disaster.
The firemen are keeping a number of
streams constantly playing on this part
of the building. 1t is thought that
precautionary measures Will avert
further disaster.
Mrs. McFadden and her family of
eight children, who were believed 10
have been buried under the walls, are
safe. They We're found living short
distance from the scene of the disaster
having moved from Mulberry Alley
only few days before. Michael
OHearn of Oil City and James Bev-
erly of Grafton, who were among the
missing also have turned up.
AS a result of the catastrophe,
movement to prevent the storage in
quantities of bonded liquor or ammo
MIA within the corporate limits of the
city has been commenced.
Most of the victims will be buried to-
morrow The Coroner's inquest Will
