sitting as a Court of Bankruptcy
and heard the claim of Matte E.

p. Marshall, a bankrupt
X. p. Marshall was merchant
at Manassa, Colo, and in the latter
part of January, 1908, left Manassa
saying he was going east to buy
stock of goods, and has not since
been heard from. He left liabili-
ties to the extent Of about $4,000,
and assets to the extent of about
$1,000. His creditors filed a pc
ton in bankruptcy shortly after
wards, and upon the hearing he
was adjudged bankrupt, and
Bishop Christen Jensen was ap-
pointed Trustee in Bankruptcy of
the estate. Among the numerous
IlullilS Hleu dSdlnoI IiS eotdtc was
the claim of Matte E. Marshall
the wife of the bankrupt, for the
sum of S1276.5O, to the allowance
of which the trustee by Ira c.
Green, his attorney, filed objections,
and the matter was heard on Mon
day in the law Office of James d.
Pitcher, who represented Mrs.
Marshall. After hearing a number
of the witnesses both for Mrs.
Marshall and the trustee, the claim
was wholly disallowed, the attorney
for the trustee having brought out
the fact that Mrs Marshall had al
ready received before the adjudi-
cation more than $500 which should
be refunded to the trustee-Ala-

- HE almost unearthly QuietUde Of

burgh and his bride leaving in the
evening for the south, where their
honeymoon will be spent. The bride
is very pretty woman, and although,
since her return from Europe two
years ago, she has preferred a quiet
home life among her books and flowers
to anything that society could offer,
she is extremely popular in a certain
exclusive set. Her brother, Horace
Baldwin Muzzy, was married to Eliza
beth Dufficy of San Rafael a year ago.
A third wedding this week of inter-
est to San Franciscans, although it did
not take place here, was that of Miss
Minna Hazard, the charming sister of
Lieutenant Oliver Hazard of the Pre-
sidio, and George w. Twiss. They were
married at the home of Miss Haz-
Yards father in Chehalis, Wash, on
Monday last The Hazards have large
property interests in the northern
state, and Miss Hazard has for sew
eral years divided her time between
her own home there and her brothers s
home here. 1t is through her frequent
visits to the Preside that she is known
to San Francisco's younger set, in
which she was great favorite. Since
her last departure from the post, sew
eral months ago, she has kept up a
who learned of her engagement some
weeks ago.
The Hazard home in Washington is
one of the most elaborate bungalows in
the entire state. The original building,
which was very large, has several times
been added to, so that at present it is
big enough to accommodate even as
large a group as the one that gath
cred there from all parts of the world

ters and their families. The ceremony
was performed on one of the large
lawns, under group of magnificent
shade trees.
Mrs. John Murtagh is being warmly
welcomed back by society people here,
who have u special place of their own
for all the members of the Shorb
family. Mrs. Murtagh, who is the
wife of an army physician now sta
toned in the Philippines, was Miss
Ramona Shorb 1t was in her home
at Fort Mckinley, Manila, that Mrs.
YneZ Shorb White was married to
Captain Carroll Buck a few months
ago. She will spend some months
here as the guest of her mother in the
Shorb home in Van Ness avenue.
San Francisco's smart set in pretty
close figures, is said to comprise a
little less than $500 people. This fig
ure was reached a year or two ago by
one of the weekly authorities on the
subject after careful study of the
social register and several weeks of
calculation and thought 1t includes
the dowagers and the old bachelors
the married people, the bellies and the
beaux, the debutantes and the embryo
debutantes and the boys and girls
still in school. Only the small people
in fashionable nurseries are not in
cluded.
Saying. then, that there are only
two and a half thousand society people
here, it occurs to one that it is amaz-
ing to realize how brislSly the social
wheel revolves, winter and summer, in
season and outflow constantly they
keep moving at dances and dinners,
house parties, theatricals and teas,
how often they announce engagements

Colburn, one of San Rafaers prominent
women, who was bridesmaid at the
marriage OF Miss Sue Nicoll and Rob-
ert Hayes Smith last week. Miss Col
burn. who entertains frequently in her
handsome home across the bay, is often
a visitor here, especially in winter
when she is popular at all the large
dinners and dances Last winter she
was the house guest of Mrs. j. de
Barth Shorb for the entire season, and
she is an intimate friend of Miss Ethel
Shorb, the only unmarried daughter of
the family.
Miss Gertrude Josselyn had a perfect
summer day for her wedding, blue
skies and sunshine adding the last pos
sible touch of beauty and brilliance to
the great event. The Josselyn home
where the wedding took place, at noon
was filed with exquisite flowers for
the affair-palest roses, masses of
feathery asparagus fern, and the dainty
pink and blue hydrangea were banked
made a pretty setting for the bright
frocks and big hats of the women
guests. The gowns worn at this we'd
ding were handsomer than have been
shown at any daytime event this year,
and the ensemble of pale green's and
champagne color, pinks and lemon yell
lows was quite dazzling. The brides
maids seven in all, wore lingerie
frocks, with pale pink sashes. and wide
hats trimmed with roses. The brides
own dress was of creamy chiffon satin,
trimmed with Venetian lace. She car
ried lilies of the valley.
After the ceremony the usual con-
fusion of wishes and congratulations,
laughter and chatter, occupied an hour
or more, and then the guests were
seated at little tables in the dining
room for a delicious wedding break

Just a week ago TODAY Miss Louise
Hollister Cooper and Hewitt Davenport
took the center Of the social stage by
announcing their engagement. y The
news was made known informally to a
few Of their closest friends several
weeks ago, but did not reach the gen
eral public until Sunday last, when the
usual whirl Of good wishes and con-
gratulauons commenced. Miss Cooper
is member Of the Santa Barbara fam
ily Of that name and has spent most of
her life on the handsome Cooper estate,
which is one Of the largest in that part
OF the country. Her father, who was
prominent in Santa Bsrbara's civic and
social history, died some years ago and
her mothers death followed shortly
after. A brother still lives at the
homestead, and the two sisters, Eliza
beth and Louise. divide their time be-
tween il and their pretty little Mill
Valley bungalow. Mr.. DaTenport's fam
lily is too well known here to need any
description. His sister, Miss Eleanor
Davenport, is a great fayOrite in the
younger set and an extremely attrac-
tive girl. His brother, DiXwell is also
much in demand for the dances and din
ners of the season, and the trio have
wide popularity here. Their mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Davenport, and Miss
Eleanor gave a tea for Miss Cooper on
Friday, TO which about co Of the mem

there for another month or two.

IMPROVING MATAMOROS
STREET RAILWAY TRACK
RELAXING Track with Rails Brought
From Monterey-Will Probably
Make Some Extensions.

The Matamoros and Santa Cruz
street railway company is still keep
ing up the work of improving the
system, which was inaugurated a
short time ago. The work now going
on consists in relaying the track with
rails which were brought from Mon
terey, being those which were torn
up in Monterey for the purpose of
putting down the new track when
the old mule car system was replaced
with the electric trolley The rails
were brought up from Monterey last
week and about fifty laborers were
brought along to do the work.
In addition to this improvement,
the company has lately had the cars
repaired and reprinted, and put on
two mules to car, instead of one
as formerly. A conductor is now en-
ployed on each car also, where for
merly the driver performed the duty
of conductor, as well as that of driv-
ing the ''mula."
1t is understood that the company
expects to extend the line to the bull
ring and will probably make some
other extensions.

TO REPAIR RIVER
BANK IN THEPOS1
GEN MYER COMMANDING DEPT
OF TEXAS, is HERE WITH
SUPT. OF CONSTRUCTION
Structures in Old Post Might be En-
dangered If Work were Deferred
About $1,000 to be Spent Now
More Extensive Work May be Done
Later.

The work of repairing the damage
done to the river banks in the lower
part of the old Fort Brown reserva-
ton by erosion of the Rio Grande will
be begun at once. Brigadier General
Albert L. Myer, commander of the
Department of Texas, with headquar-
tiers at San Antonio, who arrived here
last night, with A. NJ. F. McSweeney,
superintendent of construction of this
department, for the purpose of seeing
about the work, so informed a Her.
aid reporter this morning.
General Myer this morning made a
careful examination of the river
bank, il company with Mr.. McSwee-
ney and Mr.. E. C. Green, the mana
ger of the South Texas Gardens.
Speaking to the reporter. the general
remarked that, while he found that
considerable damage had been done,
yet it would be very difficult to es-
innate the exact damage, in dollars
and cents. All of the work that was
done on the bank in the lower post in
1900 is just about gone, but the work
on the upper part of the post, nearer
town, he found was holding out fairly
well.
The building known as the ord
nance officers quarters, now occupied
by those in charge of the South Texas
Gardens. were found to be in some
danger, but not enough to be alarm
ing at present. although there wouh
be danger, if the work of building the
protection were deferred any longer.
No damage whatever was found to
have been done to the National GEM
etery.
The government is preparing to
spend at once, in the neighborhood of
$1,000 to strengthen the banks of the
river. cat present" said the general,
1--WE propose to drive in piling, tying
in heavy brush between. The work
will be parallel with our own bank,
so as not to cause the current of the
river to encroach upon Mexican terri
tory"
E. C. Green, manager of the soutn
Texas Gardens. will have charge of
this work.
Eventually, General Myer farther
said, the government will have to put
in a protection of a more permanent
character. but this work will have to
be carefully considered and possibly
will have to be taken up with the
Mexican government. He also said
that the city will have to do some
thing in the way of Strengthening the
river banks in that part of the city
lying between the upper post and the
Office, as the river APP

very fast. General Myer is accom-
panied by his aide, Lieutenant Sam T. |
Mackall. Both are at the Miller Ho-
tel. They will return to San Antonio |
