THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE ,19, 1895. A NEW GUN MAKUFACTORY The Ostrander People Wl.ll Probably Come to San Francisco. THE PLANT NOW IN BOSTON. Sacramento Makes a Strong Bid, but Colonel Cochran Pre- fers This City. A very determined effort is being made to bring the entire plant of the Ostrander Repeating Gun Company, now located in Boston, to San. Francisco. If the project- ors of the enterprise meet with the proper encouragement from the people they think should interest themselves in the matter the plant will be well on its way to this coast within the next sixty days. The gun is the invention of Willis H. Ostrander of Merced and is in many re- spects the most wonderful double-barrel gun yet invented. Except for a little leather covering some eight inches above the breech the Ostrander gun does mot differ materially, so far as appearances go, trom the ordinary hammerless breech- loader. In its mechanical arrangement, however, the difference lies, and this is so erfect that wherever shown the true sportsman has at once pronounced it the most perfect double breech-loader on the market. The Ostrander is capable of firing four thotsin a second and a half, and can be made ready for as many more within forty seconds from_the time the first shots were In firing the four shots it is not v to move the gun from the shoul- ither does the relative position of the arm change, thereby losing the origi- nalaim. The breaking of the gun at the breech, when it slides forward on a securely | constructed forearm, ejects the two shells | st fired, and by an ingenious automatic i ces the discharged cartridges ith two fresh ones from the magazine. The Ostrander Gun Company is very anxious to move its entire plant to San A. E. Cochran, Francifco,” said Colonel A. E. Cochran vesterday, “and-we will do soif the proper sort of inducement is held out to u he present home of the company is New street, East Boston, but we think thatas this is a_California invention it would do better right here at home, and we have now 100 guns completed, and our success is assured. *“While there has been an evolution in powder shotguns have not kept pace by E means. The new nitro-powders have Ppro strous to many of the best weapons now on the market, yet the Os- trander has shown itself capable of firing, without danger, almost any quantity of powder. *If we can make the necessary arrange- ments the entire plant—the machinery alone costing over §70,000—will be removed to San Francisco and the manufacture of the gun commenced at once. The factory tion will be A st as useful as a genuine Ostrander, rifle barrel can also be fitted to the stock, which, of course, gives it advantages over many of the more prominent makes. The machinery used in ‘the factory is also capable of doing other classes of work, sucg in fact, as is now brought here from the East. “‘Mr. Swift was in Sacramento a.few days ago, when the gun was given a very thorough trial by the sportsmen of that city. Every person who handled it said it was the most perfect weapon they had seen. It was on this occasion that the offer was made to move the manufactory to that city, though, as I said before, I E;eler San Francisco. The matter is now ing carefully considered by those most interested, and I do not hesitate to say that 1 think the factory will come here. “The incorporators and_stockholders of the company are: E. P. Cole, C. A. C. J. Swift. (From @ photograph:} Macawber, Barclay Henley, W. H. Os- trander, Charles H. Swift, Judge McKins. try, Colonel A. E. Cochran, W. W. Foote and M. F. Tarpey.” PLEADS HER OWN- CAUSE Mrs. Kate Murphy Is Charged With Disturbing the Peace. She Did So Well That Judge Camp~ bell Reserved His Decision Till Saturday. The unusual spectacle of a woman defendant acting as her own attorney was witnessed in Judge Campbell’s court yes- terday afternoon. The defendant was Mrs. Kate Murphy and although she showed an entire unacquaintance with the rules of evidence she cross-examined the witnesses for the prosecution with skill and voint. The spectators were kept in a state of per- pc(ua?luughter. She was charged with disturbing the peace on the night of June 10, the com- laining witness being Mrs. Maude {aunam, 249 Fifth street, her next-door neighbor. Mrs. Kaunam and her mother, Mrs. Margaret Becker, testified that on the night in question Mrs. Murphy entered their house while some friends were play- ing cards in the parlor and made use of language that was more forcible than polite. When they got her outside and shut the front door she kicked at the deor and raised a disturbance. Mrs. Murphy in her cross-examination devoted herself to asking questions abant whether'they weére married and othér per- sonal matters and kept Attorney Fréy for the prosecution busy interposing objec- tions. It was impossible to keep her to what occurred on the night in question and the Judge had to shut her off. Another witness was F. B. Brennan, a roomer in Mrs. Becker'shouse. Mrs. Mur- phy aceused him of not telling the truth, and caused an uproar by asking, ““Are you an opium fiend?” The Judge finally ad- vised Brennan to leave the witness stand to save himself from further person ques- tions. In beginniug her address Mrs. Marphy faced Mrs. Kaunam and Mrs. Becker, and pointing her finger at them said, ‘I stand to-day and look you squarely in the face.”’ Before she could proceed further the Judge insisted upon her addressing him. *“Well, our Honor, the Judge,”” she continued, *I will employ_ at first forty men, butin a | have befriended these women for years. I year’s time this number will be increased to 100, with annnal output of 10,000 guns. This will be the only gun manufactory west of the Mississippi, and, as a conse- quence, not considering the extraordinary merit of the Ostrander as a perfect weapon, we should control the entire business of the Western States. ; “There will be about sixty tons of freight to be moved, at a cost of §22a ton. Sacra- mento is willing to put up the money and give us the ground if necessary, in order to secure the manufactory, but our preference is San Francisco. Now is a good oppor- tunity for the late movement to encourage manufacturers to come to the coast to give some evidence of its earnestness. % There are many features about this gun that have never been brought to the notice of the people, For instance, the stock is so arranged that by a little work | the barrel of any other zun can be fitted to it, and for ordinary purposes the combina- have become their security at the corner grocery. I have fed them. Ihave lentthem money to go_to the racesand_they bring me to this. Your Honor, the Judge, I am the mother of two children. I love them. I would die for them. I am a respectable woman and I want to have nothing to do with these people. I have done with them.” Being reminded that she had said nothing about the charge against her, she said it was all false. She simply called upon them in a neighborly way. he Jodge said he would give his deci- slon on Saturday, and advised Mrs, Mur- phy to keep away from Mrs. Kaunam and Mrs. Becker, “‘I hope,” said Mrs. Murphy in a loud voice, “that I wili be paralyzed if Iever darken their door again. Never! never! never!” This was received with derisive laughter by Mrs. Kaunam and Mrs. Becker, and the Judge adjourred court in a huarry. DO YOU THINK This is intended to illustrate where the greatest nervine, system huild- er and hlood purifier on earth is sold? No, indeed! Not hya “long chalk.” Every one knows that it is sold North, South, East and West, hut every one DOES NOT know how much one single case of it will dofor a man whose vitality isat the freezing point.

Aiways remember that. NERJVES ENERGY WILL POWER ST GTH THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION, State Board of Trade Again Communicates With the Governor. THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING. Railroad Officials Donate $10,000 Toward the Projected Plan. The State Board of Trade is determined that this State shall be creditably repre- sented at the Atlanta Exposition, and in view of more thoroughly directing the at- tention of the Governor to the advisability of calling a convention of the County Supervisors, and having them appropriate money from their respective treasuries to defray the expenses of moving the exhibit which is contained in their rooms on Mar- ket street to the exposition grounds at Atlanta, the secretary mailed the following communication -to Governor Budd last evening: The exhibit we have here in San Francisco could not be gotten together for less than $75,000 “or $100,000, but by moving it entire after being thoroughly re‘flenished, and with such additions as the affiliating countics can make and as other counties will contribute, we would be able at a nominal cost of from $7000 to $10,000 tomake an exhibit at Atlanta cqual in variety and attractiveness, if not quite so extensive in quentity, as that made filled him with horror. He had traveled all over Europe, had seen all the best statues, and felt that he had a perfect right to shudder in the presence of this lady, if she might be called such. 3 “Why,” said Auditor Broderick, “I can’t see that exactly. Ifyou take the wings off her you will find she is a dead image for Bartholdi’s. Bartholdiis a reasonably ex- perienced and reliable sculptor, ain’t he? Suppose we knock the wings off the young woman anyhow. I rather like the idea. She will, besides, fit much better in-the wind up there.” But City Attorney Creswell voted for the Wells statue, wings and all, and there he intended to stay. It was the statue asit is with him, or none at all. “‘Suppose we compromise on a bear,” said Broderick. *I think a ten-foot grizaly bear is the thing that should stand on this City Hall.” “Very likely,” said Creswell, “it it wouldn’t look =0 much like an old-fash- ioned hair mattress. I'm for the statue as it is.” “This statue,” said Mayor Sutro, “looks like u crane. Her breasts look like cannon balls.” nd as for the Gulielmo statue, that you seem to favor, it has no_shape at all above the lower limbs,” said Broderick. Then they returned to the consideration of the metal again. The communication from Mellis was a long one, the meat of which was comprehended in the resume at the close as follows: X From my investigation, and I have gone into the subject much more thoroughly than is in- dicated in this communication, I am satisfied, First—That the white mefal of the con: tract will abeolutely not answer for the pur- posc of making this statue. Second—That no “white metal” with any ad- ditional percentage of tin wiil be any better. Third—That the only proper material to make this statue out of is statuary bronze. The alloy used should be: Copper, 90; tin, 6 to7; 2in¢, 110 2. And I consider that it i% imma- terial whether lead—not in any case exceeding 2 per cent—be used or not. Ifit be omitted the tin and zine may be correspondingly increased. Aluminum bronze I do not recommend, on CALIFORNIA’S BUILDING AT THE COTTON EXPOSITION, ATLANTA. THE #OLD OAKEN BUCKET" Remains of the Author Rest Out in Laurel Hill Cemetery. SITE OF THE SEPULCHER. The Woodworth Family Will Pre- serve the Sacred Ashes of the Poet. How {lear 10 this heart are the scenes of my child- When fond recollection presents them to view! The orchard, the meadow, the deep-tangled wild- wood, And every loved spot which my infancy knew! The wide spreading pond and the mill that stood e the cataract fel v it, The bridge and the rock w] ‘The cot of my father, the d: use nigh it, And e'en the rude b ung in the well— The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket, ‘The moss-covered bucket whicn hung in the well. One who strolls into Laurel Hill Ceme- tery at the Bush-street opening and turns to the left on Mount Vernon avenue, near the entrance, may see close to Pioneer path, the name Woopworrs carved on an ivy-covered mausolenm. The ivy clings in such dense and fond profusion to the vault that it half conceals the letters and the Egyptian piliars of the sepulcher. In the vault the mortal remains of Samuel Wood- worth, the author of the “Old Oaken Bucket,” have crumbled into dust. In the same vault are the remains of nine others of the Woodworth family, some of them direct male descendants of the illus- trious Samuel. The survivors of the family dwelling in San Francisco number nearly one hun- dred and several are descendants in direct line. Selim E. Woodworth of the navy and his brother Frederick A. Woodworth, grandson of Samuel Woodworth, have for some months considered the advisability of cremating the remains in the vault at Laurel Hill. Before a final -decision is reached others of their kin will be con- sulted. Whatever disposition may be made of the ancestral remains, it is sure that the dust or ashes of the man who wrote the ‘‘Old Oaken Bucket” will be preserved and & monument be erected in his memory. P Leading men and women of the temper- ance societies have discussed this proposi- tion, and the indications are that a fresh impulse will soon be given to the monu- ment-building erterprise. Few ‘people outside of San Francisco and not very many dwellers in this town know that Samuel Woodworth’s remains were brought here in 1860 and placed in | the Woodworth family vault. Letters and newspaper clippings” are constantly re- | ceived by the family, in which informa- tion is sought concerning the tomb of | Samuel Woodworth, hence a brief history | of his career may prove interesting and | instructive: Samuel Woodworth was born at Scitu- ate, Mass., January 13, 1785. He wrote thirst of the weary traveler. The genius of Samuel Woodworth was recognized by Clinton, Webster, Channing, Everett, Halleck, Story and Sir Walter Scott. The “Old Oaken Bucket’ was written in the summer of 1817. The family reminis- cence concerning its production is thus told_in George P. Morris’ introduction to Mr. Woodworth’s poems: The family was living at the time on Duane street, New York. The poet came home to din- ner oae very warm day, having walked from his office, near the foot of Wall street. Being much heated with the exereise he drank & glass of water—New York pump water—ex- claiming, as he replaced the water on the ta- ble, “That is very refreshing, but how muecn more refreshing would it be to take a good long draught this warm day from the old oaken bucket I left hanging in my father’s well at home.” Hearing this, the poet’s wife, 0 was al- ways a suggestive body, said: “Selim, why wouldn’t that be & pretty subject for a poem?” The poet 100k the hint, and under the inspi- ration of the moment saf down and poured out from the very depth of his heart those beauti- ful lines which have immortalized the name of Woodworth. Samuel Woodworth also wrote a dramatic poem entitled the ‘Forest Rose,”” which Samuel Woodworth, Author of * The 0ld Oaken Bucket.” attained a fairly good place on the stage, and held it for several years. The Wooaworth grandchildren now liv- ing are Selim E.. Frederick A.and Ben- jamin Woodworth in San Francisco and ‘;?']cllic Woodworth and sister in Cambridge, Mass. The remains of the poet’s wife rest along- side of her husband’s in the Woodworth vault at Laurel Hill. RAILROAD RATES RESTORED. The Southwestern Freight War Per- emptorily Stopped by the Managers. A dispatch was received yesterday by Vice-President Stubbs of the Southern Pa- cific Company to the effect that all lines in Texas have agreed to restore freight rates. Quite recently a combination was effected in St. Louis by the Southwestern Associa- tion, which established a stand ard for freight rates in the Southwest and as far north as St. Loul Mr. Stubbs attended the meeting and took an active part in its deliberations as the Sunset route and its many connections were deeply interested. But _bardly had the various railroad of- ficials returned home when the St. Louis agents began a fierce rate war, which ut- terly demoralized affuirs that had been definitely settled. : Then the managers put their heads to- and counties in the aggregate at least £500,- 000. More than this, the time is more aus- picious for_presenting California’s attractive- ness to the Eastern and inquiring world than it was then. The Worla’s Fair was held at the opening of & scason of depression; this fair will be held at the close of that season—when times are better, when people can more easily close out and move, and when the spirit of progress and adventure and new enterprise, which always induces immigration, will be more manifest. It is uscless, however, for me to say anything Jor the purpose of impressing on you the im- portance of California putting itself in _evi- dence at the Atlanta Exposition. We believe it can be done in a creditable manner at a small cost in the way I have suggested—that is, through’ Appropriations made by the several counties—and we believe also that the best ‘way to raise the legislative representatives of the several counties to action in the premises is by calling them together in one joint con- vention, where they can exchange ideas and deliberate one Wilg eanother as to what they ought to do and what is best to do under the circumstances. Favorable rates of transportation can be se- cured for their xassnze from their homes to San-Francisco and return, and this board will undertake to secure a suitable hall for their meeting and to see that they are properly treated during their stay in San Francisco. 1f you agree with the suggestion herein made you will favor us by promulgating a call at once, as time, you can readily understand, is very precious. To go to Atlanta in the shape we want 1o go and must g0, if we go at all, will involve on the part of the State Board of Trade a great deal of extra work and preparation, and the sooner we know whether we have got that work to do or not the better. Yours very truly, J. A. FILCHER, Secretary. The railroad officials have expressed their willingness that if the State decides to send an exhibit to Atlanta they would tmm{:on the display providing the amount did not exceed $10,000 free of charge, and the members of the board are of the opinion that the company could be prevailed upon to do even more than this if it were necessary, but think that $10,000 will be amply sufficient to defray all ex- penses of transportation to Georgia and return. The California State building will be of purely California plans and of the mission style of architecture. It will be 150 feet in length by 80 feet in width and will occupy one of the most prominent positions o the exposition grounds, directly opposite the railroad terminus and between Machin- ery Hall and the Transportation building. Mrs. A. C. Dooley, a lady residing in Los Angeles, is the originator of the undertak- ing and has given considerable money toward its construction. The Board of Trade has been offered 5000 feet of space in a prominent position, and as a matter of making it a greater ob- hibit, the directors of the exposition have offered them 5000 feet also in the Agricul- tural Hall, in view of Governor Budd calling a con- vention to meet in this City for the pur- _pose of considering the matter, the railroad company will be calléd upon to reduce the rates to all delegates to one-half the usual charge for transportation. THE ANGEL ON THE DOME. She Provokes Still Another Entertaining Art Dis- cussion. She Makes Mayor Sutro Shudder. Auditor Broderick Favors a Bear for the Place. The City Hall Commission took another fall out,of the angel of the dome yesterday, but neither the angel nor the dome nor the City Hall Commission seems to be bet- ter or worse for it. Sculptor Marion Wells was granted a ninety days’ extension of his contract, since the commission 1s una- ble to decide upon the material in which the big statue is to be cast. The weekly discussions of the big-winged figure are beginning to be a feature of life at the City Hall, and if they continue will doubtless soon attract crowds of art critics and connoisseurs. The topic was introduced by a communi- cation from Buperintendent of Construc- tion Mellis in answer to one from the com- mission requesting some advice oh the metal in which big statues should be cast. 1t was only necessary to speak of the statue to provoke a shiver on the part of the Mayor. It was vulgar, and the thought of such a creature standing forever on the most conspicuous elsvnt?on of the hall at the World’s Fair, and which cost the State | i‘ect to the board to produce a large ex- | account of its expense, and the practical diffi- culties which would be encountered in having it made here. The cost of this bronze, some $6000 more than was calculated, left the commission still undecided. THE LOST LADY SHOLTO, No Trace Found of Young Lord Douglas and His Fair Loretta. Broken Hearts and Broken Con- tracts Were Left Behind—A Mad Manager. Lady Sholto Douglas is still among the missing. Two weeks ago last night she disappeared, leaving behind her a sorrow- ing mother and brother, a disappointed audience and a disgusted and mad man- ager. She was billed to appear at the Audi- torium; but the curtain went up and the curtain went down, and she appeared not. It was rumored that her ladyship had gone to Los Gatos to join her liege lord, who dropped out of society and sight at the same time. When plump little Loretta Addis was “doing a turn”in a dive in Bakersfield with her brother it was the ambition of her life to shine some day on a real stage in a big city, as two of her sisters had done before her. She never dreamed then of beaming before the footlights as a real “lady”; but Lord sholto Douglas came along and won her susceptible heart, and the story of their love and marriage is known, Before they were married Loretta ac- cepted a three weeks’ engagement at the Auditorium, greatly to the displeasure of her ardent suitor, ‘She performed at the Eddy-street hcuse one week, and the big theater was filled each night. The second week opened with a packed house and flowers in profusion had been prepared to shower on the popular favor- ite. But the flowers wilted waiting for the glad sunshine of sweet Lady Sholto’s smile. She smiled not. Manager Moore did not smile either. Broken hearts are soon mended, but broken contracts are not, and the manager had one of the latter on his hands. To all Lady Sholto’s friends she is lost, but that she is with her hus- band there is apparently no doubt. ’ **No. I don’t know where Lady Sholto is,” said Manager Moore last night, ‘but I'd like to know. I've got a contract 1'd like to enforce her ladyship to complete, or know the reason why. Her mother does not know where she is, I am sure, for she is in distress, her daughter having been her main support. She had made a big hit in the house, and her going away in the manner in which she dis has made considerable difference to me. I heard to- day that she was in town having a trous- seau made, but I do not place much faith in the report.” ARTIST GRAHAM GONE. A. Page Brown Thinks He Has Moved to New York Without Saying Farewell. A. Page Brown, the architect, said yes- terday that he thought there was no need of concern in regard to the absence of Charles 8. Graham from the City. The artist had been contemploting a trip to New York for some months, and Mr. Brown, who is a warm personal friend of his, thinks he decided suddenly to make the trip. “1 have written to those in the East who will know whether he is there,” said he, ‘‘and shall hear from them in two or three days. Mr. Graham has absented himself in the same way before for a week or more, and he is so much of a bohemian that he does not feel called upon to notify his friends of his intentions. I have no other motive in trying to ascertain his where- abouts than that of vpersonal friendship.’’ M{, Graham has been absent for three weeks. e The British Isles comprise no fewer than 1000 separate islands and islets, without counting mere jutting rocks or isolated pinnacles. g o It is asserted that the dormouse is a link between the rat and the squirzel, I 5 /OOBDWO WOODWORTH’S TOMB, LONE MOVNTAIN'OEMETERY. verses at the age of 14, and gave such indi- cations ‘of genius that an opening in a printing office was made for him. He was apprenticed to Benjamin Russel, editor and propricmr of the ‘‘Columbian Centi- nel,” with whom he continued until the term of his apprenticeship expired, in 1806, In 1807 he published a weekly paper at New Haven, entitled the Belles Lettres Repository. e went from New Haven to Baltimore and thence to New York, where, in 1810, he married an amiable young lady to whom was born a large number of chil- dren. Two of his daughters, Mrs. James 8. Wethered and Mrs. Georgiana Beebe, are now residing in San Francisco. Two of his sons were in early years closely identified with the fortunes of this com- monwealth. These sons were Commodore Selim E. Woodworth and Frederick A. Woodworth. The former had charge of the expedition sent to rescue the Donner Lake party, and the latter was a well lfinown pioneer. Both have gone tq Laurel During the contest between the United States and Great Britain—the war in which the British burned the National Capitol at Washington—Samuel Wood- worth_conducted a weekly newspaper in New York, entitled The War, in which he chronicled American victories by land and sea. - He edited at the same time a_monthly magazine called the ““Halcyon Luminary and Theological Reposzitbry,” devoted to the promulgation of the doctrines of the New Churci (Swedenborgian} of which he was a sincere professor. His grandsons, now living in San Francisco, adhere to the same religious faith, and adjoining the beautiful Eume of Seiir_n E. Woodworth on Lyon street is a quaint and picturesque Swedenborgian church. In 1816 ga.nmel ‘Woodworth wrote the “Champion of Freedom,” a weird novel in two volumes, in which the Father of Our Country is made to perform duty as a ghost, but he is of good tuck and shows much skillin rescuing the heroine. Samuel Woodworth was subsequently associated with George P. Morris in the establish- ment of the New York Mirror. Morris said that Woodworth’s “Old Qaken Bucket” would be admired as long as cool water from the well continued to slake the gether, and as quickly as the combination went to piecesit was welded again. The ineident is viewed by railroad men as proof that their compacts cannot be seriously broken, and_that there is no chance for a warin Western or transcontinental rates on freight. —————— The most easterly point of the United States is Quoddy Head, Maine; the most westerly, Attn Island, Alaska; the most northerly, Point Barrow, Alaska; the most southerly, Key West, Fla.
