HE CREATES A LAUGH IN COURT I By a Silly Story of Alleged Information Conveyed to Him by a Stranger The Prisoner Still Retains Ills Composure Under Trying Circumstances. San Francisco, Oct. 11. Under tho rljthl cross examination of District At torney Barnes yostordny Thoodoro Dur flint tundu a number of nnswors that nro niffiiritcd as decidedly Incriminating, In nsmuch ns thoy appear to bo In direct con lllct with well established facts, mid then changed his replies when ho realized that he was on dangerous ground. Ho pavo an explanation of a clew regarding Blanche Lainout's disappearance said to have been received by htm that was so palpably a falsehood that everybody In court laughed nloud. Two days boforo tho body of tho young woman was discovered, Durrant said, n3 ho was standing at tho corner of Market and Montgomery streets, a stranger ap proached him and asked If his namo was not Durrant. Tho stranger then asked Durrant If, in view of tho fact that his namo had been unpleasantly connected with tho dlsappearanco of tho girl, ho would not llko to find her. Durront re plied that ho would bo overjoyed oven to obtain a trnco of tho missing girl. "Watch tho ferries then," tho stranger said, "she will try to cross tho bay. That Is my ad vico." Ho did not ask tho stranger his namo, his residence, or for any additional Infor mation. Ho went to lunch and from thoro to the ferry, where ho remained until B o'clock, not having caught a gllmpso 'of tho missing girl, whilo ho was waiting, however, ho saw threo medical students aud an old schoolmate. Ono of theso men has already testified that ho saw Durrant accost a school girl whoso description an swered that of Mlnnlo Williams, who was murdered that night, and rido away to ward tho mission on a Howard streetcar. Mr. Barnes asked him If ho told anybody else of tho clow, given by tho stranger, so they could continue tho search. Durrant said ho had no opportunity to tell any of Miss Lainout's friends. When questioned closely Durrant admitted that hoattended a meeting of tho young peoplo's society tho same evening, whero ho saw several of Miss Lamont's intimate friends. Among others was Thomas Vogel, whom Durrant had said a monient.before was moro Inter ested In tho dlsappearanco of tho young woman than anybody olso except Mrs. Noblo, her uuut. Durrant admitted that ho had a privato conversation with Vogel, but did not think to toll him of tho clew ho had obtained. After a short recess a surprlso was sprung on Durrant In tho hope that it .might disconcert him. After asking him if ho had over made a written statement of his whereabouts on tho day Blanche Lamont was murdered, and receiving an nffirmatlvo reply. District Attorney Barnes asked tho following questions: "Is It not a fact that you sent a written statempnt of your caso to your attorney and wrote .on the-euvelopo, 'To bo opened if I ain'jConvictcd and to bo returned If t am acqulttcdf ' " Tho excitement caused by this question was intenso. In tho hum of voices Dur rant's answer was lost, and tho sten ographer was asked to road tho reply. "I npver sent an onvolopo to my attor neys bearing such an Inscription," said ho. Durrant was questioned at length re garding tho communication and tho sig nificant inscription on tho cnvolopo, but ho donled that ho over sent such a docu ment. Durrant was next shown tho various garments worn by Blancho Lamont, and asked if ho hail secreted them dn tho bol fry, where thoy were found. Ho identified tho ploccs of clothing ns the ones worn by Miss Lamont on tho day of her death, but Bald ho did not hldo them in tho church. Durraut's strong nerves were tested by a number of questions relative to tho last time hd sa'w.Mi'ss Lamonp, but ho stuck to his former statements on that point.

Mr. J. J. Franoy is the powor behind tho movement, nnd workmen aro now making room for the foundation walls of the structure which, with other buildings already erected, will form tho hotel. It will ho located at tho southeast corner of Coal nnd Jardin streets, extending 43 feet on tho formor street nnd 03 feet on tho latter. It will erribmco tho building now occupied by Jtr. Fntnoy as a family residence There is a vacant lot next to tho residenco on Coal street 26 feet wide and 50 feet deep. On the Jardin Street sido there aro one-story build ings on a lot 15 feet wido nnd connecting at tho rear with the lot running hack from Coal street. ThosO buildings will ho razed and upon both strips of land will bo erected n three story brick structure L shape in itself, but to be connected with tho property occupying tho comer lot nnd making a first-class hotel block 13x05 feet in size. Should It become neces sary, tho third stories of the row of franio dwellings adjoining and extending east on Coal street to Pear alley can bo converted into sleeping npartnicnts connected with tlio hotel. Thobrick building now used as a resi denco by Mr. Francy's family will be the main part of tjio hotel. Sinco tho reports of this cliango has gono abroad thero lias been much speculation as to where Mr. Franey proposed locating ills residenco. This lie lias also decided upon. The npartnicnts on tho first, second and third stories in the Main street end of his property at tho southwest corner of Main and Oak streets are to bo completely remodelled and appropriated as a residence. The building will bo boated by steam. All tho old stair cases will bo torn out tomako room for Queen Ann stylo of architecture. The wholo will make nh elaliorato residence.

THEY WILL HAYE STREET PAYING The Improvements In the Locality Have Been so Extensive of Late tho Abutting Property Owners Want the Thorough fare Made Into a Street. The building nnd general improvement boom continues in nil parts of town and properties which have iioretoforo licen de preciating in value by reason of tho ago of buildings aud want of repair aro steadily taking on a shapo that will put them on tho market again at a goodly price. The part of town In which tlio most radical changes have taken place is that bounded by Main, Centre, Wliito and Lloyd streets. Thousands of dollars have been spent in alterations, re-building and extensions nnd the plans in view provido for au expenditure of thousands additional, so it is qulto certain that the pmportios aro dostined to bo tlio most valuable in tlio town. Thero is a thoroughfare oxtendiug north and south between Main and White streets which has heretofore been known as Market alley. Tlio abutting property owners have decided to raise it to tho full dignity and distinction of a street and appeal to Council to have tlio namo changed. As soon as the building operations aro completed tho alley will be paved from Centre to Lloyd streets. It will bo the only paved alley in tho town with tlio exception of Pear alley, and the paving there is limited. A few yoars ago Market alley, in tlio dis trict referred to, was lined on both sides witli stables, cast off velticlos and receptacles for rubbish. Since then neat dwellings have been erected by J. K. P. Scheilly, Mrs. Gniebor, Thomas Bellis nnd tlio O'Hnra estate, besides a neat brick building erected by C. E. 'Pitman and tlio ono now being erected by Lewis Klein. Only ono stable is left on the square and all tho old vehicles, bins and other unsightly objects have disap peared. The purchase mado by tho School Board has also been very beneficial, as in place of a nest of stables there is n largo open space sweeping to Whito street which is a great benefit to tho dwellings in the vicinity. A strong point in connection with it is that there is no danger of the space being absorbed for any other purpose than the erection of a school building. Tlio demand for dwellings will in time cause owners of properties on almost all the alleys in tlio town to do us tho people on Market alley are doing. Wanted. Three steady boarders at 215 N.

How much and yet how little most folks know about Sewing Machines. How many do know the crust of "expense," counted iu the usual retail price of all Sewing Machines. It would astonish buyers if they knew what actual cost is aud what retail price would be were machines sold on the same basis as the Dry Goods, Shoes, or other merchandise. Why not sell them so ? Time for important patents has expired. The field is now open, therefore we offer you now a $50.00 MACHINE for $19.50. Taken all in all, we count the "DEMOREST" the best Sewing Machine in the market. Light running, easily managed, no noise, high arm, no springs, every movement positive, hard ened steel bearings, all steel at tachments. More up to date in improvements than any other. How can we sell such a machine at $19.50? Easy enough. We buy and sell sewing machines as we buy and sell Dry Goods.
