Suit to Ilccovcr Insurnnoo on Stewart's I'aokluir Homo Mailo JJlluil by n Cliulor Tlio Uuzur Personals. An Alleged Prohibit Inn Affidavit. Charles Allen , whoio afllilavlt regarding the ownership of the Mint property on Broadway was published In thcso columns ycstorduj morning , stepped Into TUB Bnn oflleo yesterday , and denied that ho over signed such nn afllduvit , or In fact any affi davit whatever , touching on this matter. Ho was Informed that the aflldavlt was slgacd with his name , and the signature wit nessed by a well known notary publlo of the city. Ho still Insisted that ho had not signed It , aim cave the following statement of his connection with thoenso : Said ho , "Houltou nnil Dave Gray tried to got mo to nlgn an aflldavlt , and they took mo up to Uoulton's ofllco. The. had a Jug of whisky there , and they got mo pretty full. Dutch Hill was there too. Wo would talk n little and then take a drink , and I guess I got pretty gay , but I wasn't so full that I didn't know what 1 was doing. They want ed me to sign a paper , but I wouldn't do it , and every time I refuted they would ulvo mo nnotncr drink. I know what they were up to allthotiuiu. and I know that they didn't catch me , I don't believe my naino is signed thcro. " .When again informed that it was , ho again expressed doubt about boltig so full that ho didn't know what bo was doing , but was not as certain as ho was before. Under whatever circumstances the nfll- davlt may have been secured , it is drawn up In regular form , duly witnessed , and bears a notonal seal. Allen Insists that ho would not have signed any such paper in his sober moments , and denounces the parties above- named for talang such steps to secure his signature. If Ins statement is true , it must bo ad mitted that the course pursued is a little irregular , and somewhat unusual as well , as alleged prohibition attorneys are not given to tilling up their witnesses with either straight whisky or "ramified goods , " in or der to secure the ajmissions desired , Thcro will undoubtedly ho fun when this case is called for trial and the aOlduvits introduced in evidence.

About 1 o'clock yesterday morning the bathhouses at Manhattan beach , Lake Man- nwa , were totally destroyed by flro. Three men were sleeping IP nn adjoining building used as a restaurant , and during the evening had kindled n Uro in an old boiler for the purpose of warming the building , as the weather was quite chilly , They retired about 10 o'clock and three hours later were awakened by the barlcing of their dog. The cutiro side of the building near tbo bailer was in flumes and they hud little time to de- , -oto to anything except getting out. All pails on the beach xvore in the room where , lie flro occurred and there was nothing 'iu which to curry water or the greater part of the property could have been saved. As it was , the ilro made a clean sweep entirely de stroying everything on the beach that would burn. The bath houses , saloon buildings , restaurants , pavilion , booths and benches were all licked * up by the ( lames. The greater Dart of the property was owned by Odell Bros. , and as Mr. E. H. Odell ex presses It , "Tho sand and water is all that ; s left.1' The bath houses were valued at $1.000 , and were not insured. The total loss will reach $1,500. Mr. Odoll announces that he will re build the bath houses in the spring , and in connection with them will uut in two water toboggan slides. The work will bo done early in the spring and completed before the season opens. It is supposed that the fire caught from the boiler , although some attri bute the work to an Incendiary , but the gen eral belief sustains the former theory. The beach is now swept clean , not an ember larger thaa a man's hand remaining. Noth " ing" was done to arrest the llames.

An incident occurred In this city a fnw days ngo thut proves woman loves strength and couratjo in man ( is much as in days of old , and likes to see thorn exercised , too , says a San Francisco dispatch. Mrs. Howard Coit , at ono time MissLillio Hitchcock , who was I'ovoroncod by all the old ilro- ladtlios of days lony ago whan she ran with the "masheon , is that lady who was determined to see for * horuoli how the males of modern days showed their strength and prowess. Mrs. Coit resides in the Palace hotel. She has an ample income and nothinpr gives her so much pleasure as to spend her time and money in the entertainment - mont of her young friends of hoth sexes. She is always potting up yacht ing rmrtios , tennis parties , theater par- tics , and all sorts of ontqrtainmonts for the enjoyment of her friends of the fashionable world. Her invitations have always boon received will * pleasurable anticipations , for she is the most charm ing of hostesses. For the last few months , however , the lady noticed that the invitations she sent out to the members of the sterner BOX to attend nor parties evidently failed to reach them , or those to whom they were sent did not , euro to accept. Tlio climax was reached whenTuesday night last , seine of tno most popular geiitlomon whom she expected at her rosebud party failed to iniitoi'lall/.e. She sent for some of the delinquent mem bers , all members of the Union club. Report hus it that Joe Austin was first placed on the rack. After listening to sovorul excuses Mrs. Coit was not long in arriving at the cause of their deser tion. ' 'The- fact is , " said ono of thorn , "your party is sot/or the same night as the great mlddlo'-woight contest at the California Athletic , club , and as members - bors wo are forced to attend. " The lady could not understand why aontlomen should like to attend those ' 'horrid" prUo-ilghts in preference to meeting San Francisco's pretty society ladies , ' 'You ought to see ono , " was said to her. Tho'lady ' signified nor as- Bent and the gontlpfnon said they would make arrangements to satisfy hot- curiosity. Last night four of the woalthiobt young bachelors in San Francisco , dressed in even ing attire , were received by tlio lady In her aiiartmonts iin the hotel. They were accompanied by four muscular- looking men well enough dressed but evidently not quito at homo in the apartments of a lady of fashion. After a whispered colloquy with the liostoHri ono of the gentlemen introduced " .llmmy" ami "Jack , " two of tlio most famous middleweight lighters now in San FrnncUeo. The lady was assured that nutning would ho mia of the lUTnir and the men prococdod to clear tlio front room of its furniturp , it was thought advlsnbl < M-I to lake tlio carpet up , nnd t < contestants and their seconds were u-anu'il tlmo they must not tnalco any rom irk * at all dur ing the progress of the nmU-h. Ono ol tlio four young swells said ho had been chosen roforuo , another was timo-Uoopor and the others noted as judges for the contestants. They took their places around an improvised rincr. while the lady wus accommodated with an arm chair on a table from which she could see uvory move of the light. The mon were at the head of their class nnd the purse was a big ono. They were ready to fight for blood , nnd bare knuckles were suggested , butthia was frowned down as the possible source of danger. It is not necessary to describe the light in detail. Blood was drawn after u few sharp rallies. The lovely spectator noUher fainted nor screamed. After throo-qunrters of an hour's hard lighting , and when both ot the pugilists had blooding noses ; when tlio carpet , was stained and both mon were tlrod , her favorite lauded a blow on tlio other oiio's face that made him stagger. Tlio fellow was game , though , nnil cnmo up on time , but ho was ila/.ed and dis tressed. "Shall wo call it a draw and illvldo the purse ? " asked the roforco. The conqueror waited with n confident look on his faco. The bcaton man sent nn appealing glance toward the arm chair would have touched the heart of most mon unless compelled to ignore the appeal by a souse of duly. The lady said not a word , but turned her thumbs down , AN ISLAND OF FLESH. The UnrJc Otto Solves a Curious Oconn Mystery. The captain of the baric Otto , which has lately arrived at tills port , solved a curious ocean mystery on tlio voyage hero , and Iong-pu7.zloil navigators and hydrogmphors nil over the country tire laughing ever the Jules Vorno-liko so lution of. tv problem which has been bothering thotu for the past six months. Some time ago u mysterious island was reported to linvo suddenly appeared south of Newfoundland , or mtutlcally speaking , in latitude dtgrcos ! north , longitude 55 degrees west. The look outs of several incoming vessels had sighted it and the captains , after tak ing observations to locate its position , duly reported it to the hydrographic authorities. Among the captains who had located tlio island were Captain Parringtou , of the ship St. Churlos ; Captain Heed , of the bark Isabel ; Captain Symonds , of the shipFlying Scud ; Captain Bntoman , of the bark Emerson , and tlio masters of several English steamships. They had scon the island with their own eyesand their statements could not bo doubted , although no islands have over boon known at that particular spot in the Atlantic ocean. Thcso masters re ported that they had seen many birds upon the island , but no vegetation. The stories of these captains varied somewhat as to the exact geographical position of the island , but this was laid to natural discrepancies of calculation , and the government hydrographers were already prepared to put the my&terious ocean arrival upon their next chart of tlio North Atlantic ocean. They will not do so now. The baric Otto , from Hnrburg , com manded by Captain Grundsen , passed the mysterious island on the yoyngo to this city , says the Philadelphia Record. Captain Grundbon is of an investigating turn of mind , and when his lookout re ported the.inland abeam the captain de cided to see more of it , and tucked the Otto up close to the dark mass which appeared above the surface of the witter. Thousands of birds ware ( lying above it , and a school of sharks fled before the vessel's approach. Upon approaching close to the sup posed island , Captain Grandson's astonishment was intense when ho found that the great mass was apparent ly llouting upon the bosom of the ocean. Ho was still further amazed upon sail ing nearer to it to tind that ho was ap- pioaching an enormous dead whale , which had been floating upon the swells of the sea for many months. Tlio monster , from the captain's de scription , is probably the largest whale ever scon in Atlantic waters. Accord ing to Captain Gruudsen's statements , backed by those of his crow , the animal was fully 100 feet Ipngand 135 feetbroud. Tlio body was considerably decomposed , but was bloated enormously. Tlio entire - tire mass above water was covered with birds , which rose in screaming clouds as the vessel approached , while under water it was surrounded with sharks , soiuo of enormous size. Captain Grnndsen , concluding that the island would not likely become n serious obstruction to navigation , sailed for this port , and the story of the mys terious island was told to tlio hydrographic - graphic oillcors in this city. Farm Nines. A gallon of lard oil and a pint of koi-osono make an excellent mixture as an ointment for scurf on hogs. It also destroys lice or other vermin that may infest "tho animals. It is stated by an experienced market gardener that the liberal use of wood ashes , well harrowed in , is the best remedy against ravages of the onion maggot and cut-worm. The country school is the source from which many diseases are spread , and in a majority of cases the well from which the drinking water is obtained is the cause. Clean all school wells yearly. To have a plentiful supply of curly greens next season sow turnip seed now and allow the turnips to prow and re main in the ground during the winter. A slight covering of straw will protect them. Bran is ono of the host foods for cows that are expected to calve in a month or more. Bran abounds in phosphatesand , will largely contribute to the growth of hone in the embryo calf.
