John Center, father OF the Mission"
oldest member of the Scotch clans in
San Francisco and one of the most pop

night at his residence, 3S2S Sixteenth
street, at the age OF 90 years

the gold rush OF "forty-nine" Center

While others sought gold in mines he
bought up land in that vicinity and
raised vegetables Such was his start
His. wonderful foresight, however. gave
him the nucleus of his great fortune
Extravagant prices were paid for veg
tables and berries, and in single year
from one acre OF onions he realized
100000.
From that time till the day of his
death he pinned his faith in the Mis-
sion district, buying land there at
every opportunity. So widespread were
his real estate dealings that today
there is scarcely an abstract of lot
in the Mission which does not bear his
name.
Center was one OF the organizers of
the North Beach and Mission railroad
company and later backed a large part
Of his fortune on the San Francisco and
San Jose railroad company. which is
now amalgamated into the Southern
Pacific.
One of Centers most important acts
was the boring of wells on his property
at Sixteenth and Shotweu streets IN 1881.
Cut off from the supply Of the Spring
Valley water company the Mission
was absolutely without fire protection
and Center prepared for the fire which
he feared would come, although it was
not until % years later that his fore
sight was proved correct and the wells
he had dug proved of inestimable
benefit not alone in saving his prop
erty but also of those around him
Up to the day of his death Center
was hale and hearty aud took a keen
interest in public affairs He leaves a
nephew, George L. Center, a real estate

the collision threw the tallyho with its

track Those who were hurt received
their injuries when they were thrown

The accident to the Kearsarge calls
to mind that which occurred on the
armored cruiser Tennessee off San
Pedro June ). The Tennessee was
steaming at the rate of 19 knots on a
speed trial when tube in the star
board engine room burst, sending forth
a cloud of scalding steam that carried
death to four members of the crew and
serious Injuries TO 10 others.
An official inquiry was held at that
time. officers Of the Tennessee told
Of the accident and gave ii as their
opinion that it was a catastrophe that
could not have been avoided. At the
same time it was recalled that charges
had been previously made that defect
i've tubing had been sold to the govern
ment for use in its waFshipS. This was
denied by the Cramps people, who stated
that every piece of tubing had been
tested by the government inspectors be-
fore IL was installed. Admiral Sebree
at that time said that the explosion
on the Tennessee could not have been
guarded against He had made an in
spection of the engine room but few
minutes before the disaster.
The similarity between the accidents
on the Tennessee and the Kearsarge
will again bring the matter of the ef-
fectiveness Of the boiler tubing TO the
attention of the government officials.
Pursuing the usual course under such
circumstances an official inquiry Will at
once be ordered into the disaster on
the Kearsarge.
