Raw Recruits and Able-Bodied Seamen to Be Enlisted for the Boston and Marion. Out of the 1000 new men which Congress has added to the complement of the navy the Marion and Boston, now at Mare Island, will be equipped. The Marion has been prepared for sea and only awaits a crew, which requires about 150 men, and the cruiser Boston double that number. This will necessitate the immediate enlist- ment here of about 400 men, for which urpose a recruiting office may be estab- ished temporarily in this city, tbough the number required could be enlisted at Vallejo, on board the receiving ship Inde- pendence. The physical requirements are so severe that generally out of a hundred applicants not more than ten are accepted. Conse- quently the work of shipping the new sailors will necessarily be slow. Only persons between the ages of 21 and 35 will ‘)e accepted, unless the applicant possesses an honorable discharge from the army or navy. Each man presenting him- self for enlistment will be examined by a medical officer in limb movement, mus- cular development, chest expansion, heart sounds, general debility, hearing, evesight, color blindness and hereditary tendency to hysical weakness. Only the most ealthful persons need apply for enlist- ment. L e Helping a Future Preacher.

Keil, Kenneth Melrose, H. Vail and Wiiliam Doxey, to whom | was referred the matter of sending a float advertising the metrofolis to the Los An- geles fiesta, has made a partial canvass among the busin men of the v, but owing to the lightness of the subscriptions thus far offered the project hangs fire. As the committee decided to build_the float in proportion to the amount raised, | no work has as yet been done, and unless | the merchants of the city soon rally to the | { support of the plan it will be abandoned. | Many_ of the business men, while ac- knowiedging the idea to be a worthy one, the opinion that more benefits with a competitive drill and prize bicycle | races as adae tions.

TWO SEAMEN AND TWO APPREN- TICES DROWNED IN THE EN- GLISH CHANNEL. u derlings The British ship Sierra Parima, now on | her way from Liverpool for Portland, Or., | made a bad start on her voyage. The first | | day out she lost four men overboard and | one of her lifeboats was smashed to bits. | A brief dispatch to this effect was received at the Merchants’ Exchange on the 16th ult. A private letter, giving the particu- lars of the tragic death of the men, reached | here yesterday. The unfortunate sailors were thrown into the sea from the poop- | deck and were drowned n broad da; before the eyes of their horrified mates, who any assistance. ra Parima towed out from Liver- | vool on February 15, and the accident oc- curred while she was going down the Jlish Channel. The boats were swing- ing in the davits out from the poopdeck, and orders had been given to take them in. The boatswain, an able seaman and two apprentices were. in one boat hanging out over the sea. Contrary to the mat i structions, the boatswain went to worl the bow tackle.

In 1843 the bark Stamboul slid from the | ways at Medford, Mass., and started for | “Baffins Bay, where the whales do blow.” | Four years later she returned home laden | with oil and bone. And there was feasting | oil, valued at $112,000.. In a cruise from 1869 to 1873 in the Southern Pacific she ob- tained 1500 barrels of oil. About twelve years ago the bark came to the Pacific and the Bering and Okhotsk Seas were the scenes of her devastations. She went ne more back to the place‘of her building. She discharged her decreasing catches in this port, paid off her hands with the single ‘“‘release dollar” and sent the bone of her few fish overland. To-day the Stamboul will make her last trip. Hertimbersare yet sound, though the storms of fifty-one years have beat against her oaken flanks, but the destruction of the whale and the coming of the steamer sends the ancient sailer to the graveyard, whither the Stamboul is now bound. She will be towed across from Oakland Creek in her own funeral procession to this side of the bay and broken up. SCHEMING NEWSBOYS. How They Sell Papers by the Aid of Raflrond Transfers.

Thiswas in the days when the big fish floundered thickly through the seas and the black smoke of the whalers’ “trying-out” furnaces could be seen and smelled in every quarter of the globe. The “fry” was large then—150 to 200 and some- times 300 barrels of oil apiece. Now the whale not being given an opportunity to grow, sorelentless are his pursuers, seldom produces more than seventy-five or eighty barrels, and where thirty or forty was o THE BRITISH SHIP SIERRA PARIMA.

The others struggled vio- lently to reach the fragments of the life- boat, which had been smashed in its d(‘-[ bravely until the | rescuing crew was within hailing distance, | when they, too, gave up the ghost and | sank to the bottom. : s Captain Wishart of the Sierra Parima stood on the. deck pale o death and | watched the unfortunates disai;pear one by one. The accident was no fault of his, but | the two apprentice-boys, who came from good English families, were placed in his care, and he thought, poor fellow, of the accounting he would ‘ha¥e o give to their heart-broken parents. The boatswain was the last man to pay the penalty of his dis- obedience, and he lived long enough to see the victims of his carelessness go down to their watery graves. % The Sierra Parima put into Milford | Haven on the following day for more men i and a new boat. An inquiry was held into | the accident and Captain’ Wishart and | those on board were exonerated, the blame being laid to the unfortunate boatswain. CnYtain Wishart is reported to have been feeling very badly when the vessel sailed for Portland two Such an !nausi‘;' ous commencement of | a voyage would have depressed the spirits of the hardiest mariner. The captain is very well known on this coast and is highly esteemed for his worth and his ability as @ navigator. The Sierra Parima left here on August 5 for Queenstown with | a cargo of grain.

It belonged to Docilla, who_ had scratched her name upon the good season’s fishing the old bark thatnow Taises seven or eight whales does well. The Stamboul continued to go in and out of New Bediord, sometimes getting into Nantucket, but whether swinging at an- chor in the tide-riffs of Martha’s Vine- yard or bumping her stubby nose against the bergsin Baffins Bay, she was enrich- ing her owners as sure as the gold-laden Sml(:eys of Ophir enriched the wise king of udea. Sister ships with whom she had gamboled —clumsily, because she was not a nimble craft—were laid away one by one under the Arctic ice or tropic waves, but over the oval of the ocean the Stamboul still went a fishing. She never ventured far into the north, as she was slow—so slow that no polar summer would have been long enough to open the water and let her out again, but she thinned out the fat schools just the same. Whether angling for the hghtms sperm that chewed boats like a sawmill, or the speedy right whale that would tow the crew thirty miles away from their vessel in almost as many minutes, or the stupid bowhead that would sink to the bottom when struck and try to rub the rankling harpoon from its body, she always sueceeded. And when the clocks in the church steeples on the Rhode | Island shore told the hour of her coming, ail the old superannuated blubber-hunters of Nantucket turned their watery eyes sea- ward and roared like the bellow of a nor'west gale around a topsail. “There she blo-0-0-ws!” This greeting never failed to “raise” the sturdy little bark with her unctuous bar- rels and her bundles of bone. These home-comings of the whaler were the terminations of the seasons wherein Jack in the forecastle got his “lay” of the catch and Mrs. Jack—Yankee- built and tempered from keel to truck— fot in turn the most of % as her wage for our or five years of brevit widowhood. ‘When whales became scarce and the rem- nants of the great schools that once crowded the ocean withdrew for safety be- yond the eternal barriers of the frozen north, the sturdy men of the blunt-nose barks began to”leave the ocean. Loyal Nantucket and New Bedford sent many a blubber-hunter to die before the Confeder- ate batteries of Fort Fisher and Mobile, and their successors were not the stalwart sailors of New England. No record has been kept of the skillful skippers who sailed the Stamboul on her lucky fishing trips around the globe for over fifty years, except that of Captain W. H. Mitchell, who is now Chief of Police in New Bedford. Two seasons under his command she took almost 3000 barrels of v for their transfers. These they give ith the papers they sell, or often they will sell a package of chewing-gum wit) a transfer for 5 cents.

HEe Savys HE Was DECEIVED BY THE UNDERHAND WAYS OF A LAWYER. The divorce proceedings which were in- stituted in the Superior Court last January between Charles Whald, a ship-carpenter, employed at Benicia, and Catharine Whald, bid fair to produce some sensa- tional developments before long. The | parties were married in Liverpool, Eng- land, twenty-five years ago, and until re- cently lived apparently happily together. The grounds upon which the wife wanted a divorce so late in life were ill treatment and failure to provide, and upon those i grounds the divorce was granted by de- | fanlt of the defendant. Judgzment therein | bas not_been entered, though, and thereb; | hangs the story of the prospective devel- opments. On the 5th inst. Whald, through his at- torney, J. A. Spinetti, filed an affidavit in the Superior Court in which he made serious charges against G. W. Howe, an attorney, who was disbarred from practice by the Supreme Court some time ago, In his atfidavit Whald says that he had al- ways been sober and industrious and had provided for his wife in every way; by economy he had saved up enough to pur- chase property at 35 Prospect avenue and household furniture worth $500. He was in the habit of coming home from his work at Benicia every Saturday night and return- ing Sunday evening. His surprise wa great, he said, when early in January last he came home and instead of being greeted by his wife was confionted with a sum- mons in a diyorce suit. After recovering from the shock he sought the advice of G. W. Howe, who advertised himself as an attorney. He paid the latter $30 as a re- tainir&g fee. Howe told him he would attend to the case, and that he (Whald) | could return to his work until notified that he was wanted. He heard nothing further from Howe, but on the 3d inst. learned from an outside source that his wife had been divorced from him. ‘Whald hastened to this city, and Jearned that there had been some startling phases in his absence as regards his suit. Not only had his wife been granted a divorce by his default, but_there was also on file a stipulation signed by J. A. Harris, as at- torney for ald, whereby the carpenter relinquished all his right ‘and interest in the real property for $575. The Benicia carpenter was very indig- nant at being deceived, as he says, by his attorney, and he hired Attorney & A Spinetti to take up his case. The latter represented to Judge Daingerfield the facts of the case, and the divorce judgment was not recorded, pending an’investigation. Then foliowed the filing of Whald’s affi- davit, and yesterday Howe retaliated by filing a counter affidavit, making charges against Lawyer Spinetti of unprofessional and underhand conduct. When seen yesterday Lawyer Spinetti indignantly denied the charges. = *Mr. Whald came to me asa client telling me he had not been fairly treated by Howe. I don’t think he hasbeen froun what he has told me. There wasa deliberate at- t.e;&pc g-.vnl;ie] ;o de}flraud him.” T, ald, who was present, denied emphatically that he ever ymew Hnrris, or that he signed any stipulation; or that he knew anyfhin about the settlement of the divorce case. He had no idea that it had ever come up in court. 8o the matter stands at present. Both attorneys say the end is not yet. - In 1352 the Order of the Knot was found- ed in Naples. Looxk to your Interest. You can buy Salvation 01, the great patn cure, for 25 cents. | gentleman’s appointment would be con firmed at the next meeting of the board. | Inspeaking of the probable route of the | road Mr. Spreckels only reiterated his ex- | pressions in the past relative thereto. | “That question is a sticker,” said he, i “and we can’t say when it will be definitely settled.” There yet remains to be filled probably important position in the com- | pany, aside from that of president, and it | 1s that of general manager. While the question has never been brought before the board it has. been. {he subject of 1 good deal of thought and some discussion on the part of some of the mem- bers of that body. There are at present, four persons whose names are mentioned in connection with the office, and they are John D. Spreckels, Robert Watt, Captain Payson and J. B. Stetson. It is generally conceded that John D. Spreckels could have the position if he de- sired it, but it is claimed by some that he is already so burdened with other business affairs that he would find it impossible to give the office that attention which it will require, Both Robert Watt and Captain Payson are practical engineers, the former being a brother-in-law of Mr.'de Guigne, who is one of the heaviest subscribers to the stock of the company. Both men are looked upon as capable in every respect, and | either one may be selected without creat- | ing surprise among the members of the board. J. B. Stetson, the last of the tioned. is already the president of one railroad company, and this fact might | have some bearing upon his selection to manage the affairs of another similar cor- poration. It is not_thought by some of the directors that his relations with an- | other company is of a necessity a bar to { his taking a position under the present corporation, but Mr. Stetson may have reasons himself which would cause him to decline such an offer. The whole matter is, however, simply one of conjecture, based upon the remarks of one of the directors yesterday. Discussing the question of route yester- day another director said that in all the meetings of the board this subject had never been formally presented. “There is unquestionably a wide diver- sity of opinion among the members of the board regarding this very important mat- I ter,” said he, “Dut these differences may be easily adjusted when we have to take the matter up in a regular manner. Most of us have opinions which are founded merely upon a little positive knowledge and a good deal of intangible evidence. | When we get together and have all the | facts before us we will then be able to in- telligently pass upon the merits of the different "localities and to take such action thereon as promises the best for the road.” Another suggestion made in regard to the general managership is that there ma: be no official of that title selected at all. The idea of at least one of the directors is that an executive committee should be appointed, the duties of which would be similar to that of a general manager, and that this body should employ a practical railroad man to act as superintendent. Bids will be sent out for rails and ties within a very few days. The rails will, as stated vesterday, be purchased in the BEast, while the ties will be procured in this State. Ten thousand tons of rails will be adver- tised for at first, and it will be required that all bids be sent in bf’ the 16th inst. A provision of the bids will be that the suc- | cessful parties must be prepared to furnish the rails within thirty days after the con- tract has beenawarded. The estimates are that it will require about 35,000 tons of rails to complete the road. Regarding the material which is to be purchased for the road a director said yesterday that although it was extremely desirable to secure everything possible in the West, it would, in his opinion, be found impossible to buy but little of the material for either equipment or construction here. The locomotives and rails would certainly have to be bought in the East, as no firm on this coast could successfully compete with the Eastern manufacturers for the sale of the same. SHOT HIS SON-IN-LAW. A Marine Engineer Arrested for Assault to Murder. John Dougherty and John McKeowl, his son-in-law, both marine engineers, drank and quarreled in a Sixth-street saloon yesterday. Dougherty finally drew a pistol and fired two shots, one of which struck his relative. He was arrested and charged with assault to murder. eowl was taken to the Receiving Hoospital in the patrol wagon. The bullet struck him in the left jaw near the mouth and lodged in his throat. Drs. Somers and Pettit probed for it, but conld not locate it. McKeowl was scarcely able to speak, but | martet men- | corder. managed to say that he and Dougherty, his father-in-law, were drinking in a saloon on Seventh and Bryant streets. Dougherty carried a pistol, and he was fooling with | him trying to take it from him when it | accidentally exploded. | THEY FAVOR THE BILLS. The Union League Club Sends a Dis- patch to Sacramento.

PARKHURST ADVISES THE RE- FORMERS To Go FORWARD. PIpER’s CONDUCT. “Go on with the fight,” is the recom- mendation of the Rev. Dr. Farkhurst to the Civic Federation of San Francisco. His | letter to the Rev. D. Hanson Irwin read at a meeting of the body vesterda; | and it was unanimously decided to inform the great New York reform agitator that the federation would follow his instructions. Much business of importance was trans- acted at the meeting. Dr. Dille gave a de- tailed acgount of his labors in behalf of the | Lexow bill in S: mento. According to him the Democrats favored the bill in the hope of making political capital out of it, | and the Republicans opposed it because | they could not afford to have an investiga- | tion of their astions. ‘Governor Butld did not say he would veto the bill,” continued the reverend gentleman, ‘‘but he did say that he was opposed to' a recount, and you can’t blame | him for that.”” According to th ker the federation should compel the police to do its duty by persistently forcing upon their attent n the “flaunting vices of the community. | William™ Bradford brought up the ques- | tion of the contest for the office of Re- ‘“Harry Piper, ( Clerk, was the mos fight between Allen and “Piper admits that he assisted A fight, with the understanding that should Allen be successful he, Piper, should eon- | trol the patranage of the office. After the contest was declared off Piper was heard to say that the matter had been arranged. From this it appears to me that there was something in 1t for Piper.” | Mr. Bradford was in favor of an investi- gation, but no action was taken. Motions congratulating the Grand Jury on the good work it was doing; urging the to pass_the Cutter police com- | making the commissioners’ | ce four years, and indorsing the | Senate constitutional amendment making | representation in each house strictly pr portionate to population. were all unan- | llen in the imously carried. Curtis Hillyer announced that the dive cases now on appeal in Judge Bahrs’ court were likely to be decided in favor of the de- fendants. In that event the prosecution could not carry the matter into the Su- preme Court. as there was no right of ap- peal from an order discharging the defend- ants. ‘“Hitherto it has been'the custom of the Superior courts to hold the defendants for trial,” said Hillyer, “and thus compel a test of the co tutionality of the law by means of an appeal to the Supreme Court.” The_federation decided to meet every second Wednesday in the month at 4 . ., | hereafter.
