	A lawyer of San Francisco, was born in the city of Pittsburgh, 
Pennsylvania in 1845.  His parents moved to Cincinnati during his infancy, where 
he was reared and attended school, completing his education at Jefferson 
College, Pennsylvania.  He began reading law in Cincinnati, and in 1869 came to 
California, where he resumed his law studies, and was admitted to the bar in 
1871.  While engaged in general civil practice, he has also given much attention 
to admiralty practice, and in this branch of the profession he has attained 
great success.  In politics he is a Republican, but not an office-seeker.
