North arrived from Honolulu Thursday night leaking badly. When 600 miles off shore she sprung a leak and all hands were kept busy working at the pumps until she sailed into port. The officers as well as the crew were well nigh exhausted, for everybody had to take his trick at the pumps. It was necessary to jettison a portion of the sugar cargo to save the vessel. At least 200 bags were thrown into the sea.

The vessel went ashore ot liactalic, on the southerly shore of Kodiak Island. Captain Hayes of the Bertha said that the captain of the Kodiak used the best judgment in running his vessel ashore. #he accident happened on Sunday morn- ng, April14. " A gale broke upon the ves- sel on the day before, accompanied by a blinding snowstorm. The barometer was down to 27.90 and the temperature far be- low the freezing point. The Kodiak be- yan to drift, and the captain, thinking that rocks and all bands lost, ordered both an- chors hanled i and ran for the sandy beach. % The prompt actionn?robably. saved the lives O?lhose on board, Fer six daysthe crew lived with the natives, and were well and hospitably treated; el On April 20 the. Bertha reachied Tiactalic, and n&ing the crew’ on.board brought them to Kodiak. = & The Bertha: was the first vessel to give the news of the loss-of the sealing schooner G.

INMAN'S DEFENSE. Charged With Murdering His Wife, He ‘PDeclares: He Was. Insane Through L Inebrety. The frial of Charles S.' Inman on the ‘charge ‘of -minrdering -his wife (known as CoraRice, & dive actress) was rearly con- elnded in Judge Wallace's court yesterday. Osman Day, a- bricklayer, testified for the' defense that he-thought: Inman was Ansane because he acted like aman.without sense. - The witness ‘wag sustained by the court in-declining to tell - the source of his indome, which ‘he: said peoplé had been ‘yainly trying to find out for the last ten yedrs. : Clarerice: Hall, sn ‘actor, also thought Inmén insane’ on. fhe unds that “he didn’s lke ta have to work, his'professional ealousy and ithe ' general.-im sion’ that ‘he was “nutty”. and-had “‘wheels.” ., Mrs. Bessie Hall, wife of the last witness, lind -worked' with Tnman and thought he and his wife:an affectionate couple.: She ’had seen him laughing to himself in a box - at the Efite’ Theater the night before the tragedy, and-he: had said some one was there trying toinjure him, but the box was R pri ; ‘our prisoners-—Henry' Conners, James' Murphy, William'Joyce and Fred Strand-— festified to Inman_ lainting .in’ his cell'on the morning after the killing. i The deféndant, Inman, was then called ‘and testified to hiving drunk.large qian- tities: of "cheap: wine and mixed liquors previous to the killing of his wife. . He.did not:remember anything abont the killing and had no ¢ause to kill her. “She was a good ‘'woman;”” he testified. He had had prz’monltqrg symptoms of delirium tre-" ‘mens. ot the' night -before. his wife was murdered. S0 g ‘After ° some ‘medical ‘testimony, which largely lelt the matter of insanity an open guestion, ‘argument of counsel was com-. k his position owing to the dullness of busi- | ness. Since that time he lived from hand to mouth, helped out occasionally by assistance from his relatives. In his room at the Yosemite House the following note was found: *My name is B. Borowskg, 1505 Geary street. God bless my poor brothers and sisters. Tam not worthy of them. Good- by, Hen, my more than brother. May the world go well with him.” . At his room on Geary street the landlady said he had been despondent for some the vessel would be dashed against the | time past. Evidently Borowsky went from hisroom last Thursday night determined to die. He purchased a bottle of strychnine and after securing a room in the Yosemite House took a portion of the deadly dose. The people of the house heard him' groan- ing and the ambulance was called. About an hour after he was admitted to the Re- ceiving Hospital he was dead. The new ambulance was used to take Borowsky to_ the hospital. Had it not been for it and the care of a trained sur- geon the deceased would have knocked his rains out during his convulsions while on the way to the new City Hall. ——————— Ingredients in Dr. Price’s Baking Pow- der are not secrets, but the methods of their preparation and their relative pro- portions are unknown to other manufac- turers. BARBERS' SUNDAY HOURS, Samusel Harrod Accused of Disregarding the New Closing Law. The Barbers’ Union Did Not Press ‘ the .Matter, so Defendant Was Not Jalled. Samuel ‘Harrod, colored, who keeps a barber-shop at Fifth avenue, was charged before Judge Low yesterday with violating the Sunday-closing ordinance. The defendant waived a jury and pleaded “Not ‘guilty.” Defendant’s attorney contended that the act relating to the closing of barber-shops half day Bunday had never been promul- gated, and under the constitution no citi- zen is amenable to the law till that law has been published. Henry A. Wolfe was called as a witness for the prosecution. He testified that he was appointed by the Barbers’ Association to investigate whether or not there were barber-shops kept open on Sunday after- noons in the yicinity of the racetrack. Last Sunday,he was walking along Fifth avenue between 2 and 2:45 p. »., when he saw -defendant’s shop open and work being done there; He spoke to the de- fendaut in a gentlemanly manner, but defendant said he condemned the law and -that he didn't care for the Barbers’ Association. Questions from the defendant’s attorney brought out the fact that colored barbers were debarred from joining the union, and lfin‘z btlhought the union’s action was unjusti- e. Ga 5 Judge Low~—No, it isnot. The barbers Wwant-some recreation on a Sunday, and do Dot care to see those who persist in keep- ing open réap a rich harvest. The defendant took the stand, He testi- fied - that he had never.heard of the law, and did not know of itnow. - 4 The Tudge—Very well, we shall send for 8 certified copy to the Secretary of State. Henry A. Wolfe, speaking for the Bar- bers’ Association, said that he was willing to let the defendant go on condition that he would promise to close half a day Sun- day in future. Buch a course would be quite satisfactory to the union, Under these circumstances, seeing that the union.did not udge uilty, - Low said he would find defendant In every point of excellence.

Folsom-Street Residents Working Hard to Get a Good Roadway to the Bay. Final prepar@fions were made by the Folsom-street Infprovement Club last night for the lantern parade of bicyclists to be held next Wednesday evening.: A large number of the residents of the interested district met at Mangels Hall, Twenty- fourth and Folsom streets, to discuss the matter. All were enthusiastic in their anticipation of a good driveway as a re- ward for their labors. The club considered the details of Wednesday night’s celebration. Mr. Ma- guire reported that a platform had been arranged for at the corner of Twenty- second and Folsom streets. A second com- mittee reported that seven electric lights could be obtained for Folsom street, from Nineteenth to Twenty-sixth, for $70 a month. This would give a light for each block at a cost of $10 a light for a month. G. L. Center and A. B. Maguire spoke at length of theimprovements 51:: club hoped to secure and the reason for having the parade. At the mass-meeting which was to follow the procession of céclist,s they expected most of the City officials, To them they expected to show the advisa- bility of a bituminized boulevard, fifty feet in width from the bay to Army street. Mr. Maguire assured the meeting that H. E. Huntingten had told a committee he would assist them in making the street a boulevard. =~ This roadway, Mr. Maguire said, would give a twenty-mile drive in and about the City, by connecting Kearny street, Van Ness avenue; Golden Gate avenue and the San Bruno road. “When we get this boulevard on Folsom street,”’ he concluded, “we’ll make 25,000 people hagp_ , for,”’ he added, “I believe there are that many wheelmen and wheel- women in San Francisco.” R. V. Somers here caused great enthusi- asm by announcing that he was willing to advance one-tenth of the costof the parade of Wednesday evening. It was decided to make a house-to-house canvass for funds to pay for the electric lights. Messrs. Maguire, Raabe, Bent, Mangels, Lieb and Somers were made a collecting committee, each to canvass the citizens living on his block. Special invitations were ordered sent to the presidents of all the otherimprovement clubs of the City to be present at Wednes- day night’s celebration. It was decided also to send invitations to the Mayor, the Board of Supervisors, the Superintendent of Streets and other City officers and the railroad officials, The "Merchants’ Club and Half-million Club will also be asked to attend the parade. After the parade five- minute speeches will be made from the platform at Twenty-second street. N. F. Wynne, the president of the Asso- ciation of Cycling Clubs, reported that ten organizations would be represented. This would mean about 1000 wheelmen, since there would be many in line who were independent. The cyclists are to meet on Capp street, from Twentieth to Twenty-second, with the Imperial Cycling Club in the lead. They are to travel three abreast. The line of march will be from Twenty-second and Capp streets, down Twenty-second to Shotwell, to Twenty-first, to Folsom, to Twenty-sixth, to Nineteenth and counter- march to Twenty-second, where the exer- cises will be held. Before adjourning the club voted its thanks to the CALL for the aid it had given in the cause of improving the streets of the City, and in improving Folsom street in particular, VETERAN POLICE SKETCHES.

Classic and Natlve Compositions Rendered by an Orchestra of Forty Pleces. The famouns Hawaiian National Band, of forty pieces, which is at present visiting the City, gave its first concert at Metro- politan Temple last night. A very good audience was present at the initial per- formance, which was under the direction of Senor Jose 8. Libornio. The first item on the programme was the march ‘“American Cadets” (Hall). This was well received. The overture from “William Tell” was the next selection ren- dered, the storm scene, one of the gems of the piece, being particularly well executed, A polka, “Star,”” composed by the con- ductor, was next played, Senor Libornio introducing a saxophone solo. Hawaiian melodies and native songs formed a ?i‘mi?:fizb!g port.lo'? of the pro- me, the wing nativ - mufi; rendered: .

The closing melody of the evening was a native one, written by Senor Libornio. It was entitled “'Aloha Oe” (Good Night). It was first played by the band, who, at & signal from the leader, broke into a vocal chant, first loudly, then in a more sub- dued tone. The effect was exceed mfllly fine, and the performance well merited the plaudits of the audience. i The Hawaiian National Band will stay in San Frantisco only ten days. In that space of time concerts will be given every evening, with two matinee performances. d“‘f” will be a change of programme aily. — - YOUNG MEN'S INSTITUTE. The Pacific Jurisdiction Not Likely to Join the Catholic Knights. A dispatch from Omaha, Nebr., pub- lished in the CALL yesterday morning stated that at the session of the Supreme Oouncil of the Catholic Knights of America a proposition was made to ask the mem- bers of the Young Men’s Institute to join the knights. While nothing was done in the matter, the proposition created consid- erable comment among the members of the Y. M. L in this city, where the order first came into existence. About five years ago the Y. M. I. of this city sent its grand president, J. F. Sullivan, to the East to organize institutes east of the Rock Mountains, and these are now in the At- lantic jurisdiction. x The matter of joining the Catholic Knights is not new, but it has not been re- ceived with favor in the Pacitic jurisdic- tion, When ex-Judge Sullivan returned from the East he set to work to eliminate the insurance feature of the Y. M. I. and he was successful, and the $500 death ben- efit clause in the constitution was cut out. Mr, Sullivan said yesterday: “The Cath- olic Knights of America is a_beneficiary and insurance order. Its members include a large number of aged men. The mem- bers of the Young Men’s Institute are all goung men. We are organized for socia- ility and mutual improvement. It would not pay us to join the knights and stand the assessments that wouid rapidly follow one another as the old knights pass away, especially when we have ubolished the in- surance feature of our order.” THEY CRY BRAVO! YSAYE! An Enthusiastic Audience Greet the Violinist at the Baldwin. How Lachaume Spanked a Poor Plano in a Chopin Polo- naise. The Baldwin Theater was crowded last night from floor to gallery with the largest dudience that has yet assembled to hear Ysaye. The amount of enthusiasm dis- played was something almost unprece- dented for the usually calm and correct Baldwin audience. The chief soloist of the evening was greeted with thunders of applause and was frequently recalled with loud cries of “Bravo!”—not from a few ultra-enthusiastic admirers only, but from peog]e in all parts of the house. There was only one concsrto last nightand that was the Vieuxtemps No. 4 in D minor. The flowing melody of adagio religioso was almost the gem of the composition, Ysaye played it, in such an exquisitely legato manner, although the scherzo vivace gave him an opportunity of showing his rapid manipulation. The orchestra, which is improving, did not second Ysaye in at all an unsatialactorfi manner. Mr. Hin- richs’ original method of conductin, which consists in studiously turning his back on the soloist, appears to improve with use. Lachaume accompanied the three works of Ysaye’s own composition—a berceuse, a mazourka and a saltarello. Whatever these pieces would be in the hands of a less gifted violinist they were very effec- tive ashe performed them and were well suited to "displaying his powers. The ‘*Scene au Berceuse’ was a sweet, weird little melody, very modern in its treat- ment, which at times recalled Grieg. The mazourka, ‘“Dans le Lointain,” while not in any sense an imitation of Sarasate, was effective in the sense that | Sarasate’s violin works are effective, and the “Saltarello Carnivalesque” was bril- liant, while being_the vehicle for a display of virtuosity which fairly brought down the house. Nothin§ could exceed Ysaye's good na- ture, for, instead, of resisting ‘an encore, as he very reasonably might have done after playing three successive numbers, he cheerfully appeared again and gave the whole of aint»Baens“‘fiondoCapricci 80,"” which he played on Wednesday evening. This piece of bel canto was so charming as Ysaye played it—one might almost say zgmg it—that it brought him another ova- ion. Wieniawski’s *‘Airs Russes” should have ended the violinist’s part in the pro- gramme, but they were so brilliantly per- formed that Ysaye could not escape with- out an encore. Even then the audience seemed loath to lose sight of him., Poor Lachaume was at a disadvantage, for the piano, which began on Monday as asa tinny and unresponsive instrument, had arrived at such a pitch of dilapi- dation last night that playing upon it must have been a veritable pen- ance. The portions of the “Moonlight Sonate,’” which Lachaume played, showed the piano at its worst, the broken chords being continually in evidence. Lachaume played Liszt’s * Eleventh Rhapsodie” excellently, but when he got an encore a sudden fury against the wretched instrument seemed to seize him, and he attacked a Chopin *‘Polonaise” with a fury that threatened to break every remaining ptring in the piano. Among other numbers the orchestra Pluyed a new overture by Meyer Olbers- leben, which was considerably applauded. —————— Like unto Casar’s wife, “‘Above suspi- cion,” is the purity and leavening power of Price’s Baking Powder, LATE OYOLING ITEMS.

Judge Joachimsen Made a Blunder Which Nearly Frees John W. Flood. The Grand Jury held a session yesterday which partook of melo-drama, farce com- edy and common every-day farce. The jurors became dramatic and almost re- sorted to a tragedy when Barclay Henley appeared before them and said ne had nothing whatever in the way of evidence to substantiate the strong charges he had made against several members of the Board of Supervisors in a letter which he recently sent to the Grand Jury. The jurors plainly intimated to Mr. Hen- ley that they were disappointed in him. They had expected some substantial facts. They did not like the ending of his loud boasts in this dismal manner. ‘When closely questioned Mr. Henley declared that he could find nothing to back up the charges made by the Civic Federation. He said that certain things had been misrepresented to him by mem- bers of the Civic Federation and he had supposed the members could bring him proof to substantiate the charges they made against the Supervisors, but that they had been unable to do so. Henley could give no more information against the Supervisors accused of boodling than that wEich has been in the hands of Fore- man Gagan and other members of the Grand Jury for some time. It was decided that George T.Gaden of the Civic Federation should be brought be- fore the Grand Jury so that that body could ascertain whether he really has in- formation against boodlers. The anger of thegrand jurors was turned to merriment when Supervisor Morgen- stern, the second witness, appeared before them. Morgenstern was asked how the Solid Eight was formed, He said, in a way that made his hearers roar with laughter that could be heard out in the corridors, that when it was learned a large Republican majority had been elected in the board each man decided to demand six ap- pointments for friends. He said that his friends and some of the Republican leaders outside the board could not agree in regard to the Enlro_nage of the board and that he and his friends were greatly insulted by the failure on the part of the aforesaid leaders to grant to them the social recognition to which they be- lieved they were entitied. Morgenstern bewailed tge fact that sometimes he would meet one of the big men of the party on the street and that he would be “passed by in contempt,’”’ as he expressed it. i Morgenstern _said: “I consider myself a butcher, but I do not know much about the Rattler test of rock or much about street work, though I am on the Street Committee. I asked some of my political friends to take care of my son and get him a job in the water works office or the gas offics, but. they were o uniriendly asto | say it would be very improper to ask | for a position for my son in either of those corporations. My son was driving a log team in_ a lumber camp up in the country, and he wrote me: | ‘Fatfier, you are a Supervisor now. must do something for me.’ I told him to come down. I have been trying and try- ing, but I conld not get anything for my son to do. He would starve for all these | other fellows would do for him. “It was for this reason that the Solid Eight was formed. The five Republicans combined with the three Democrats with the understanding that as far as patron- age went the Democrats should have two appointments each. “By this arrangement T clerk of the Police Court.” On cross-exgmination Morgenstern was | very slow to r&i He said that General | Dickinson_had heen his attorney for ten | months. When asked what service Dick- | inson had rendered, Morgenstern said that | the first case he had had was that of his | son, who was appointed police clerk a few weeks ago. . Morgenstern said that when Joost came to him abont the franchise for the streetcar line to the new racetrack he did not under- stand him at first. He said he thought Joost was in trouble, so he referred him to Dickinson as a good attorney. After hav- ing a cigar and a drink Morgenstern learned what Joost wanted, but he thought | it was just as well that Joost should have good legal advice. g Morgenstern said he did not know whetner Dickinson is attorney for any other members of the Board of Supervisors or not. Morgenstern became very much excited, and it was with difficulty that Foreman Gagan could keep him in his seat, as he, like Colonel Sellers, attempted to give side orations to different members of the jury. He finally said that the Solid Eight was formed for the purpose of taking care of the patronage of the board. Notwithstanding yesterday’s proceed- ings, Foreman Gagan has determined that he will not be balked in his plan of investi- gatlon of the Supervisors. The Grand Jury has gathered a lot of evidence and it will immediately be got legally before the got my son in as | y. District Attorney Barnesappeared before the Grand Jury and asked that new indict- | ments be found against Jobhn W. Flood, ex-cashier of the Donohoe-Kelly Bank, as the officials of that corporation were not satisfied with the case as it stands at present. Flood had refused to plead in a recent case in which he was accused of making false entries in the books of the bank. His refusal to plead was equivalent under the law to a plea of guilty, and he was recently sentenced by Judge Wallace to seven years’ imprisonment in San Quentin. District Attorney Barnes soon after learned that all the proceedings in the case were invalidated by an omission in the Police Court proceedings. It was stated that Judge Joachimeen had made a blunder in omitting to sign the commit- ments, which were the efinl documents holding Flood to answer before the Su- perior Court. This mistake invalidated all the subsequent proceedings. The formalities of indicting were quickly completed by the Grand Jury.
