Captain Pier Peterson has had strange
experience with the men set over the IL
censfng of masters and pilots. He was
granted a certificate IS mate Of a steamer
by the local inspectors and rejected by the
examining doctor. Then the men who IL
censed him as a mate refused him d GER
tificate as master and were upheld by the
Supervising inspector, but all were re-
Versed by the Supervising Inspector Cen
eral, who has granted him his certificate

Peterson was for long time mate of

Of the Levi @. Burgess. He had posi-
ton as mate Of a cOasting steamer offered
him. and in order to qualify had to secure
a license He went before United States
Inspectors OF HUlls and Boilers BOlles and
Bulger and passed the necessary eXauuna-
tion. When he went before the Marine
Hospital doctor, however. that gentleman
turned him down for color blindness.
So far so good. Peterson went mate of
a steamer, and a month ago was seized
with a desire to get masters papers.

CLAIMED.

The death Of Henry A Maison, which
occurred at the Pacific Hospital on Mon
day. is shrouded in mystery, but the pre-
vailing opinion is that 1t was due TO al
cohoHsm.
He was 81 years Of age and the son OF
the late Henry a. Maison, q well-known
liduor merchant He had been employed
in the store Of his uncle, B. H. Lucke. the
shoe merchant, on Market street, but lost
his position recently owing to his intem-
perate habits.
Saturday morning last he was taken to
the Receiving Hospital from Beale and
Mission streets by a stranger, and 1t was
found that there was a deep incised
wound on his right leg near the hip and
bruises on his head He was under the
influence Of LIQUOR. and all the explana-
ton he would give as to how he received
the wound was that while IN Oakland ne

wound was being stitched and dressed the
Dolice were notified, and Detective Harry
REYNOLDS was sent to interview him. His
answer to his questions was the same
that he had ben struck by a bicycle, al
though the doctors thought II looked more
like a knife wound.
His relatives were notified and they had
him removed TO the Paclhc Hospital;
where he was attended by DIS Hess and
Evans He was unconscious most OF the
time until he died. about noon Monday.
When he became conscious for few min

SUISUN, July 4.-The yield Of Bartlett

into contract to deliver to the Earl Fruit
Company 10000 boxes of Bartlett pears,

other growers have been sold TO the Alden

fire had gained such headway that 1t was

barns just filled with hay became ignited.
Flying sparks and cinders set many small

hands full, but with a small force of water
to fight the confagration. For while

protest against the introduction into the
city of an electric road. do not and
did not protest, but only desired the ordi-
nance granting the use of our streets to
have such limitations and restrictions as
would protect US against the evils of an
antiquated system Of overhead wires and
poles and reserve the public rights over
the use OF the streets instead of abandon
ing them without reserve to private
corporation. also wished satisfactory
guarantee that the people OF Annapolis
would not suffer from any discrimination
in fares and freight rates. ! don't know
now OF any State in the Union that does
not put limitation on franchises as 10
time. Why should we delegate powers,
that may forever control US. without re-
serving some essential protection. Should
not experience teach us that hastily drawn
grants of this character more often prove
a menace than . benefit
Let this corporation have the most
liberal franchise, consistent with Justice.
