In rebuilding the city the general
tendency has been to erect buildings of
medium height rather than skyscrap-

there is another in course of erection

the United States supreme court. In
addition, there have been number If
appeals from the awards of the city
for property in this territory, and this
adds to the delay. But Baltimore has
already paid out about $4500,000 for
property in this dock section. Four
teen streets have been widened, in.

square feet, at a cost of over $4,000, 600.

remark in the days following the great
fire. Few disputed the opinion. IN
fact, it seemed to be the general i'm
preston at that time that the fire was
a deathblow to the city, Optimists
were indeed few in number then.
How great was this mistake none
but Baltimoreans know, and an out
slider can only be convinced of it by
look at the city today. When business
men saw their stores in ashes they had
grave doubts as to the future. Many
lost heavily by reason of having in
sufficient insurance on their buildings

fire. but today nearly all agree that
the fire was only blessing in disguise.
Baltimore merchants today enjoy q
larger trade with the outside world
than ever before and in many cases
business has increased a hundred per
cent since the fire, while there has been
a considerable increase in the city's
taxable basis. And the city now has
better buildings, wider streets and
better pavements than ever before in
it's history. In addition, the fire has
been the means of opening the eyes of
Baltimoreans to much needed city i'm

has already acquired about 95 per cent

COMMANDED AN
ISLAND BARK

ALAMEDA, Dec. 30.-Captain Ed
ward A. Williams, one of the pioneer
master mariners of the Pacific Coast,
completed hfe's voyage when his spirit
passed out last night at his home, 2260
Encinal avenue. He was a native of
Boston, 60 years of age, and had fol
lowed the sea for half a century, re-
firing from the bounding pillows four
years ago.
Many thrilling adventures marked
the life of Captain Williams. He came
to California by way of Cape Horn in
1850, and before he was twenty years
of age had been awarded a master
mariners papers. While engaged in
coast trading in the early ffties Cap
tain Williams and his crew were at
tackled by Indians at Cuffeys Cove.
His vessel was burned and several of
his sailors were murdered, the captain
himself being wounded in the leg by
a poisoned arrow. During the stirring
days of the Vigilantes in San Fran
cisco Captain Williams affiliated with
that organization and was also
lieutenant in Company G of the Flying
Artillery. While plying between Hatre
and New Guinea he was wrecked on
the coast of South America and lost
his ship. In the Crimean War he com
manded a French transport carrying
troops between Havre and SevastopOl.
For twenty-five years Captain Williams
sailed sugar packets between San
Francisco and the hawaiian Islands
and was long in charge of the bark
entine W. G. Irwin.
Captain Williams came of old Puri
tan and Revolutionary stock. He had
made his home here for twenty-eight
years. Surviving him are a widow and
two daughters, Mrs. Stanley Howard
Head and Mrs ]. A. SAMSON. He was
a member of Myrtle Lodge No. 16, K.

The dinner was given in the private

indicating that it was the Red Shirt

it was the one which had attracted
the bulls of criticism.
The place cards were unique, being
in the form of a regular Circuit Court
