THE LURLINE CATCHES THE LIGHT SUNDAY BREEZE. [Sketched for the “Call” by Coulter.] slipped their moorings and showed their | snowy, cloths to the summer wind that‘ J. P. Fleming, the professional swim- mer and professional fakir, gave, or at- tempted to give, another Sunday exhibi- tion of his prowess as an aquatic fraud on the ferry-boat yesterday. 2 It will be remembered that it is this fel- | low's game to have a confederate fall over- | board and be heroically rescued by Flem- | ing. Then a collection is taken up from the sympathetic passengers, which thetwo | worthies divide among themselves. Yesterday Fleming and a man named Charles Forbus took passage on the | steamer Ukiah, bound witE a crowd of pic- nickers for El Campo. They were both | well-filled with intoxicants' and made | quite a spectacle of themselves before the | curtain arose on their little comedy. Forbus was afraid to get too far from the | shore ere he committed himself.to the | deep and lunged overboard before the crowd on board were well settled to takein | the noble act of saving a life. | Fleming was so angry at the timidity of the other, which spoiled the proposed | scene, that he refused to rescue, and called | out to his man *‘to sink and be d—."" However, the alarm was given and a | boat from the steamer picked up the fellow | in the water as we was swimming lustily for the wharf. The twd men continued on to El Campo, where Fleming, to drown his disappoint- ment, drank himself into a peace-disturb- ing state, and wasarrested for drunkenness Et the ferry landing on his return to the | ity. The Pacific Mail steamers Colima and City of Peking arrived from Panama and China respectively yesterday. | Affairs are quiet on the surface in con- nection with the sailer wage war, but both forces are carrying on the contest with a gain on the part of the union. Six or seven vessels have been lying at anchor for a week trying to get crews without suc- cess and several have come in so short- handed that the vessels were almost dis- abled. There are over 500 men wanted for new crews, and the beginning of the har- vest season in the grain and fruit localities of the country, which will draw many sea- faring men away from the City, will in- crease the want. A private letter from the Seattle Post- Inteiligencer to the CaLi states that a brass plate from the medicine chest of the lost Montserrat was brought to that city by Captain Wallace of the City of Topeka on her last trip from Alaska. The inscri tion on the plate is as follows: “M.L P., Galf of California, S. 8. Co., 8. 8. Montser- rat, Trehearn & éon, London, Cardiff and Antwerp.” The medicine chest was found on the southeast end of Etalin Island, Clarence Btraits, February 28, and the the plate taken off by the finder. There is no doubt that the chest drifted ashore from the w reck of the ill-fated tramp. HERMANN’S SONS PICNIC. Patriotic Germans Celebrate to Perpet- uate a Revered Memory—Thousands at Shell Mound.

Both pavilions were crowded with dancers, who were furnished music just to their taste by C. C. Henke's orchestra. Children were made happy by phyin%gnmes and by en- joying themseives in the merry-go-round and the swings. When darkness set in Shell Mound Parx was transformed into a beautiful ‘%arden illuminated by Chinese lanterns. he main pavilion was well filled with lan- terns, though the mellow light made the scene a more romantic one than can easily be imagined, The committee which provided the well- en%oyed entertainment was constituted as follows: President, F.

T0'SELLTHE LICK HOUSE "Rumor That the Hotel Will Be Sold to Satisfy the Mortgage. Fhe Latter Amounts to $400,000 and Is Held by the Lick Trustees. Rumor has it again that the Lick House will soon be sold. Itis said that the sale will be to satisfy the mortgage of $400,000 held against the property by the Lick trustees. The late James G. Fair owned the Lick House, but there was a mortgage on it for the above amount held by the trustees of the James Lick estate. To-day the representatives of the Lick estate will appear in Judge Slack’s department of the Buperior Court asking for an order of the court to permit the special administrators of the Fair estate to pay the Lick trustees the sum of $100,000 in part satisfaction of the mortgage on the Lick House. Anda the attorneys for the Fair heirs, or some of them at least, will, it is said, protest against the payment of this amount, or in fact any part of the mortgage. And it will be this action on the part of the Fair estate administrators, if things go as rumored, that will precipitate the sale of the Lick House. There is, in truth, what seems to be very good authority, for autint that the tu'i truxteel s vlvill insist n the payment of at least a large part of the mortgage at once, and théres:eemu to be equally as good authority for the rumor that at least those heirs of the late Senator ugmnted by Attorney Pierson, and probably some of the others, will pro- test against the payment and parmrt a foreclosure of the mortgage. ‘When (fizufioned about the rumor last evening Henry E. Mathews, secretary of the James Lick trust, would only sa; it the matter that would come before Jud Black to-day would be “a petition to the - Superior Court asking for an order of the court to permit the special administrators to pay the Lick trustees $100.000 to enable them to distribute the trust estate.” The Grand Lodge of the Order of Hermann's Sons, which“:rm begn its session to-day at California Hall, on Bush street. There will be an entertainment this evening, when “Damon and Pythias” will be produced by amateur actors belonging to the local lodges of Hermann’s Sons. Th: celebration yesterday began with a hearing was necessary, he added, “under the existing circumstances and for the va- rious interests of the heirs,” and beyond this Mr. Mathews would not talk at pres- ent. He would neither deny nor affirm the rumor that bas.it that the Lick House will soon be sold at private or public auction. BAKERS BEACH MYSTERY. The Finding of Articles That Were Buried in the Long Ago. A BADGE THIRTY YEARS OLD. It Was Given by the Caledonian Club—-Its Owner 1s Unknown. Bakers Beach has developed another mystery, as appears from a story told a few days since by a young man named John Burke to D. R. MeNeill, chief of the Caledonian Club. According to this yonng man, who says 1421 Taylor street is his res- idence, some children called his attention to a discovery they had made while play- ing on the sand, and this led to the finding of several articles that evidently had been buried in the beach for many years. On Sunday, the 5th inst., several chil- dren were on the beach when one of the number proposed that they dig a tunnel. The others agreed, and providing them- selves with scoops, they commenced to dig with that ardor that characterizes the en- ergy of youth, but which as a rule is not productive of any practical results. They dng and dug in the wet sand until they had made a hole about four feet long,when suddenly the foremost cried out, ‘“See whn}[ ave found,” and held up a rusty pistol. Further work in the hole was stopped, when the finder suggested that the weapon might have been used by some one who hag taken his life and then the youngsters went off in search of some adult to whom they could tell of their discovery. They met Burke and told him that they were afraid to dig further lest they might.come across the remains of 2 man. He exam- ined the weapon and saw that it was a self- cocker, not one of recent make, but one of either French or English manufacture that was in use more than a third of a century ago. It was so rusted that neither the maker’s name nor the number could be distinguished. Burke announced a determination to go to the place and make a further search, but the youngsters held back as if in fear that the ghost of some one covered by the sand near where they found the firearm would rise and strike terror into them. They pointed to the place whence thfiy came and told Burketo goto the hole. He moved 1n that direction, and the young- sters growing bolder, followed at a dis- tance, and finally took up a position where they could see, him nding the exca- vation. The young man worked for some time and as a result of his labor obtained a silver badge of the Oaledonian Club, a bridle, two old-fashioned spring back clasp knivesand two leaden bullets. The knives, like the revolver, were very rusty and the bridle showed the effects of having been a long time in moist sand. The badge, which is the size of a standard dollar, was black and so encrusted with sand that it was not until it had been scoured that its idenm{‘could be established. The follow- ing is the inscription on the badge: Momo me Impune Lagessit, 1886 Caledoniun Club, 8. F. In the center is a figure of a lion ram; ant and at the bottom a representation of a Scotch thistle. There is no inscription on the back that gives a clew to its once owner. Mr. McNeill, who has possession of the relic from the ocean beach, said: “Ido not know of any way to trace the owner- ship of this badge of the society, as there are no marks on it other than those you see, placed there by order of the society near y.ngu-tg years sgo. All that I can say about it is that it was one of a number of prizes distributed to winners in the game at the S\cmc in 1866. What do I think of the find? Well, I hardly know what to think. It mey be that a burglary was committed long agoand that tgo articles found buried were a part of the plunder; that the perpetrators of the crime, fearing the possession of the articles would com- promise them, concealed them, It may be that many years ago, when that portion of the City was not as accessible as it is now, some horseman was attacked, killed an robbed; that the robbers took from the victim such property as could not be traced to the ownership of the dead man in case it was found in their possession, then buried the body and the saddle, as well as the other articles that were found, and led the horse away. It is just possible that the pistol was used to commit mur- der. I would not be a bit surprised ifa skeleton would be found some day near where the badge and other things were found.” AMUSEMENTS TO-NIGHT. ‘What Will Be Offered to Those Who Sit Before the Footlights in the Theaters. Eugene Ysaye, the famous violinist, will make his bow to a San Francisco au- dience at the Baldwin to-night. He will be supported by Amie Lachaume, pianist, and an orchestra of forty pieces under the leadership of August Hinrichs.

Three Days of a Vivid Suggestion of the Torrid Zone on the Water Front. Mercury on the water front during the last three days has been aloft. The sprightly chap who gets up (and down) the thermometers and barometers, who is interested in cinnabar mines, who takes part in the cut-rate drug trade under Mercury Lays Aloft. the name of hvdmrgyr’nm, who is the backing of the mirror business and who acts as god of commerce in his leisure time, put on the togs of Neptune and clim] up in the rigging. The meteoro- logical log of his movements shows that he t up to the crosstrees on Friday, and the next day the winged sailor watch-cap and tennis shoes, fluttered from the high- est point of the royal truck. esterday the Weather Bureau cooled his nautical enthusiasm with a slight breeze from the sea, which rippled the bay and set the ships a-rocking ever so little, but the timorous quicksilver sailor felt the tremble on the ratlines and his record and climb were somewhat lower. Down along the wharves things grew fervent, and the moored vessels were again back in the tropics. The Harbor Commis- sion people sweltered in their new uni- forms and their brass_buttons ilowed like a constellation of small suns. The police- man patrolled the shady places, perspirin; freely under his heavy Arctic coat an using feverish language under his breath in a welcoming address to summer. The black sewer-waters of Channel street emitted a malodorous suggestion, and the small boys utilized the gaping holes in the Brannan-street wharves for bath tubs. Sergeant Tom Mahoney, the Tiburon ferry eace-guardian, left the print of his slim, g‘rilby-uke foot in the soit asphaltum pavement. The picnickers came back from the country, their Mniy;time plumage wilt- ed, bedraggled, and the usual bunch of wild flowers in their hands, early withered and dead. Out on Fishermen’s wharf the hot san drew delicious smells of the sea from the places where the netted cod and bass had gasped away their lives. Around on the seawall the heat was more moderate as the wide open Golden Gate let in the cool breaths of the ocean and blue-shirted and trousered Mercm? essayed no startling sailor antics with feathered cap and heels in that locality. SLASHED ON THE HEAD, Frank Kearney Uses a Knife William Aklund During a Drunken Quarrel. There were loud calls for help and whist- ling for police about 6 o’clock last evening at 511 Twenty-third street. As Officer Riel reached the house William Aklund staggered out of the door with blood running in streams down his face. He said that he had been cut by Frank Kearney, who was inside. The officer ar- rested Kearney, whom he charged with an assault to commit murder. 5 Aklund was taken to the Recewi:xg Hos- pital. where his wounds were dressed. He' was slashed across the head and face in half a dozen places. After balné attended to, Aklund was removed to the City Prison and chlraed with being drunk. He was so much under the influence of liquor that he could not give any account of the cause of the trouble. Kearney is a native of Den- mark, notwithstanding his name, and, like Aklund, he was too drunk and too stub- born to tell of the trouble. From what the police could learn the two men had been socially dflnhnfiw ether during the day, and the cutting is believed to be t‘ho outgrowth of a drunken guarrel. R THE YOUNG LADY DROVE. A Tie-Up of Oars on the O'Farrell-Street Line Ensue: ' An excited crowd gathered around two young ladies and their escorts at the cor- ner of O'Farrell and Powell streets yester- day afternoon. The young people had been riding in a.two-seated carryall, and one of the girls drove. The streets are wide, and there was no trouble till they reached Powell street. There the conductor of an O’Farrell-street car ran out and lifted the iron lever with which the cable is depressed at the cross- ing. The man was under the horses’ hoofs, ln% the girl driver, becoming confused, pulled the wrong line and got the team tangled with the lever. V;fld confusion ensued. Both horses began to kick.

Among the Features Will Be a Race In Canoes of the Alaska Indians. The bay in the vicinity of Long Bridge was dotted over yesterday morning and evening with the four and single oared shells and barges of the several boat clubs which are to participate in the regatta of the South End Rowing Club at El Campo May 30. They were engaged in practice spurts and hundred-yard dashes for the spirited contest which is to come off between the following-named clubs on Decoration day: Stockton Athletic Association, Farragut Club of Vallejo, Acme Athletic Club, the Alameda Rowing Club, Olympics, Ariels, Pioneers, Tritons, South Ends and St. Mary’s College Club. The crews of . the several clubs will not be definitely announced until after the fineral meeting on the 15th, as there have en many changes made in their person- nel on account of accident and other causes. The crews of the Pioneer Club will in all probability be as follows: Senior—Gallopy, stroke; J. Shields, after waist; J. F. (giflord, forward waist; F. Orr, bow; W. Flynn, coxswain. Junjor crew—D. Fitzsimmons, stroke; C. Ochs, after waist; F. O'Niel, forward waist; F. Michels, bow; W. Flynn, coxswain. As they stand at present the crews of the South End Club are as follows: Junior—Fred La Chappelle, stroke; Frank La Chappelle, after waist; J. Frickell, forward waist; M. Conlan, bow. Benfor crew—H. Body, stroke; F. Du%huxy, after waist; D. Hassmer, ferward waist; C. Bar- ton, bow. The other clubs have their crews in con- stant training, but their g;arsonne] cannot be announced until after the general meet- ing. All the boys are in excellent form, and barring those whose misfortune it was to meet accident, are in the pink of condition. The scene on the bay near Long Bridge yesterday was typical. Every morning and evening for the last two weeks the rowers have been out for a spurt, and the effect of their practice is noticeable in the speed, wind and expertness which are be- | ing developed. . This constant training will | begkept up until the second day before the great regatia. Among the features of the nautical tour- ney will several professional exhibition races between four-oared barges and sculls. There will also be a canoe race between ‘W. Espy and G. Callo:x of the Pioneers. They will use canoes made by the Alaskan Indians out of hide, in which even the ex- pert rower, unless accustomed to that style of crait, finds it aifficult to keep from capsizing. It will, no doubt, be one of the interesting contests of the regatta. Several single-scull races, not down cn the programme, are beipf arranged, and the competing clubs will put forth their crack men for these brushes.

Asan extension of the Sunday reform movement, which started some time ago across the bay and resulted in the passage of a rather stringent Sunday ordinance in Oakland, a call has been issued for a gen- eral meeting of clergymen and others in- terested to form a State Sabbath Associa- tion. The list of signatures to the call for the atherin&is headed by the name of Dr. §ohn K. McLean, pastor of the First Con- gational Church in Oakland, though greem N. R. Johnston, pastor of the Re- formed Presbyterian Church, is said to be the leadiniyupirn. The meeting will be held in the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion auditorium at 3 o’clock P. M. Most of the objects of the movement are well known. Its dominant idea is the adoption and enforcement of such legisla- tion as will require liquor-dealers to close their places of business on Sunday, in fact the movement aims at the closing of, all leasure resorts on that day. This is, per- aps, as far in the line of accomplishment as it belieyes itself capable of at present, although in the East the Sabbath observ- ance agitation has comprehended a great deal more than that, and has even at- tempted to have all kinds of unnecessary business totally suspended on the first day of the week.
