R | Two Sailors ©Overcome by Charcoal Fumes on the Steamer Santa Rosa. { Six able seamen of the steamer Santa | Rosa came very near shuffling off this mortal coil yesterday morning by the asphyxiation route. On Tuesday night a number of pans of charcoal were set burn- ing in the hold to drive out the rats which infested the ship. The hatches were bat- tened down for the night and when they were raised yesterday the hold was strewn The instructions of Superintendent Bennett were to allow the hatches to re- main off for three hours before any of the | crew were permitted to go below to stow | cargo. The orders of Captain Bennett | were disobeyed and the result was that six | melil were overcome by the fumes of char- | coal. men were ordered into the hold by the | second mate and a few moments later four of them came staggering up to the deck. | Several men rushed aboard from the shore | and escorted the half stupefied sailors | down the gangplank and laid them on the | dock.

This will be her third trip thi: season. On the first trip she brought back 805 dozen eggs and on the last 1045 dozen. | The owner and navigator of the Trial is | the celebrated Clam Johnson. who -has been running out to the islands for several years. The eggs are a species about three | times the size of the household article, and | are known asseagull and Farallon chicken | eggs. They retail at about % cents a | dozen and are used mainly by bakers and | Tes nt-keepers in the manufacture of | pastry, ctc.

The schooner Glen attempted to go on the old Merchants’ drydock yvesterday | afternoon, but as she approached the dock | some bright individual on board let go the | pin of the centerboard, and the latter went | down in the bay, being held only by the | chains. For more than an hour the men on board attempted to bring up the recre- ant board, but they finally gaveit upasa bad job and the vessel was not docked. THE CNVIC FEDERATION, A Special Meeting Has Been Called to Consider the Lottery Law. Methods to Be Devised for the Immediate Enforcement of Existing Statutes. The Civic Federation has decided to take i up the lottery fight as outlined in the CaLr and demand that the law for the suppres- sion of this evil be enforced. A special meeting of the committee on enforcement of law has been called for this afternoon, when the lottery question will be consid- ered at length and a plan of campaign out- | tined. The struggie will be a vigorous one, and the committeemen declare that it will not be abandoned until a thorough test has been made of the law relative to the sub- ject of lotteries. If conviction isfound to be impossible under existing statutes, then measures will be taken up looking to the enactment of more stringent laws. Dr. Dille and other members of this com- mittee have already expressed their views } on this matter quite fully in the CALL. Most of them agreethat the present lottery law is sufiicient for the suppression of the traffic if properly enfurcmfi he clergy- men of the City are a unitin the matter and fairly reflect the sentiment of the bet- ter element of the entire community. This element has declared that the lotteries must go. sl AGAINST THE LOTTERIES, United States Marshals Have Been In- structed to Arrest All Violators of the Law. The new Federal law in regard to the carrying of lottery tickets isto be vigor- ously enforced. The United States Mar- shal has been instructed to see that no violation of the ordinance occurrs in his district, and Marshal Baldwin has accord- ingly issued instructions to hisdeputies that admit of no question. Lottery tickets are not the only things interdicted. Obscene literature, pictures and other things that Anthony Comstock or F. J. Kane would obiject to are also banned, and anybody found with them in their possession will be " promptly arrested by Marshal ‘Balawi's ‘depatics. o this instance it will not be a case of using the ‘BEFORE THE FODTLIGHTS, | that occurred Monday night. 1 but the work was finally accomplished. | to Engine Company 2 All efforts to revive them proved futile and they were sent to the Receiving Hospital, where the proper restoratives were admin- istered.

The Gondolas Now Glide Smoothly Round at the Water Carnival. Tt is evident that the success of Moros- co's melodramas does not depend entirely upon scenic effects, for “The Power of Gold,” in which there are no waterfalls, millwheels nor even an explosien, has made a greater hit than any of its prede- cessors which contained these effects. This play is the best suited to the powers of Morosco's company of those which Sanford has yet presented. Swain is particularly happy in his delineation of Sammy Smudge. W.L. Gleason only has a small role as the deputy keeper of the asylum, but he does it admirably, and Walter Sanford gives a careful study of the thief, Mark Harley. Columbia Theater. “Nancy and Company” is one of the best efforts vet put forth by the Frawley people, their handling of the work being excellent in all respects. Leslic is in his element in Tippy Bresher, the well-managed husband, and Hud- son Liston, as Ebenezer Grifing, is very funny. Tivoli Opera-House, Offenbach’s bright and sparkiing opera, Perichole,” has been received with great favor at the Tivoli, the clever singing and acting of the principals and the good work of the chorus alike winning applause. Leura Millard makes an effective Perichole, both vocally and histrionically, her singing of “I'm tignt” and of the farewell song in the first act being especially good. Laura Millard and John J. kaffael are excellently suited to their Fm!' and Ferris Hartman, who playsa sort of Rip Van Winkle role, keeps the audi- ence in continual laughter whenever he is on the stage with his puns and jokes. The Orpheum, The Orpheum’s programme is proving, as usual, a drawing attraction. All the acrobats are artists in their line, ana the Salambos con- tinue to surprise the audience with their elec- trical exhibition. The songs and dances of the Jordan sisters and the musicai actof Falke and Semons are popular, and Amann, the wonder- ful impersonator, never seems to pall upon his admirers. The Alcazar. “A Night Off” is giving plenty of fun to thé audiences at the Aleazar. The sparkling ""fl is excellently presented by the Dailey stocl company, and large audiences attest to the popularity which the performance is achieving The Water Oarnival, The Colima rescue scene still furnishes one of the chief features atthe Water Carnival.

The directors of the Olympic Club met last evening, but took no action in the Hanselman matter which is now in the hands of a sueity company.

The principal lossis in the damage to eight 4-inch rifled guns. These were | new Iy acquired guns, four of them never having been mounted. They were of the latest design and were valued at upward 0f $3000 each. They were so_badly dam- aged by the heat that they will be useless, The destruction of the building will not entail a Joss greater than $2000. The offi- cers of the post are investigating the cause of the fire, but thus far are able to offer no solution as to its origin An overheated baker’s oven was the cause of a fire at 717 Brannan street early yesterday morning, which did considerable damage to property and gave two people a severe fright, if not a close call to losing their lives. _The building in which the fire started, like the other in the same row immedit ately west of Clinton, on Branuan, is a two-story frame facing'on Brannan, with a one-story addition in the rear. The one- story portion of the building at 717 was oc- cupied by the oven of Baker Michael Ham- mer. The fire emanating from this oven communicated to the single-story addition to the surrounding buildings, destroying them and causing a total ioss of about $4000. Of the buildings damaged one is owned by F. E. Peabody, whose foss is $1000. Ba- ker Hammer’s loss is about $200. Three other buildings owned by Michael Curran were damaged to the extent of $1000 or $1500. Joseph Cusack, a grocer occupyin one of these, sustained a loss to his stoc of $200 or $300. Three other buildings owned by Mrs. Dalton and P. Bailey were slightly burned. The entire loss is covered by insurance except the effects of the fam- illes living in the buildings, which would not foot up to any considerable amount. _ The persons referred to as having their lives endangered by the fire were Misses Mary Cusack and Mary Hawkins, The stairs leading from their Tooms on the sec- ond floor of one of the buildings were burned away before the two ladies were assisted to safety by neighbors by the means of ladders, The alarm from box 95 at 10 o'clock last night was for a small blaze in the basement of the Donohoe building on Market and Taylor streets. It was caused by a de- fective electric light wire. The damage was nominal. PREPARE FOR INSPECTION. Companies of the Third Regiment Busy. The Dissolution of the Bugle Corps. The Third Regiment is actively prepar- ing for its annual inspection and muster and each of the six companies is deter- mined to make the best showing possible. The inspection will be held in the armory to-morrow evening, Each company will parade in campaign uniform, which in- cludes drab slouch hat and leggins, but absolutely prohibits white collarsjand cuffs and gloves. Company C held a meeting last night to prepare for the inspection, and ¢he follow- ing order, which is practically the same as that sent by other commanders, was or- dered sent to each member: Sir: You are‘hereby ordered to report at the armory Thursday evening, 20th inst. [Cam. rmgn uniform, hat and_leggins; no white col- ars and no gloves.] You are expected to a ar as if about to take the field. This nspection {s intended to determine the true soldierly worth of the eom;anies of the Na- tional Guard. It is expected you will assist 1n maintaining, as you have in the past, the high standard of your organization, Your captain, after seventeen years of active service, announces this 8s his last official military order. He regrets exceedingly, as already announced to the company, after the members so heartily requested him'to remaiu, that business affairs compel him to_sever his connection with the organization. He trusts, therefore, that the members of Company C will be A)mmpt in attendance and by their conduet and appearance will reflect credit upon the officers under whose_training they have been for so many years. By order is going to be disbanded, and in its stead will be organized a drum and fife corps, suchtu is now attached to the First Regi- ment. The corps will be formed on the basis of three drummersand two fifers to each company, making a corps of thirty men. This evening twenty-four new drums for the corps will be purchased, and it is in- tended to make it a fine band of field music. The only reason given for the change is that the army seems to look with disfavor on the bugle corps and to be sub- stituting the drum and fife wherever possi- bl?l The Guard must, therefore, follow suit. —— SAORED HEART FEAST DAY. A Special Celebration to Be Held at St. Ignatius Church To-Morrow. Elaborate preparations have been made at 8t. Ignatius Church for the celebration of the feast of the Sacred Heart to-morrow. Masses will be celebrated from an early hour at short intervals, culminating at 9 o’clock with a solemn high mass. Attached to St. Ignatius Church is a branch of the Leacue of the Sacred Heart, with a membership of over 6000. Each one of the associates is expected to be wear their badges. In the afternoon a special service for the benefit of the children will be presented. This is known as the ‘‘act of consecra- tion” and will last from 3 to 50’clock. In the evening there will be solemn high vespers, benediction and a sermon on the “Sacred Heart” by Rev. Henry Woods, S.J., the spiritual director. At old_St. Mary’s Church, in charge of the Paulist Fathers, mass will be cele- brated at 7 A. m. In the evening there will sermon by Father Wyman, C.S.P. At all the other Catholic churches in the City preparations have bcen made for an observance of the day on a more or less elaborate scale. DAVS SUES FOR DNVORCE Miss Blanche Bates to Be Separated Fron} Her Husband. The Cause Alleged Is Desertion, and Miss-Bates Will Make No Contest. The brilliant marriage of Blanche Bates and Milton F. Davis, which took place in St. Luke’s Church about a year ago, is courts. The suit was filed Monday last. He was a lieutenant in the army, she an actress, and though she quit the stage for six weeks after her marnage, its fascina- tion proved irresistible and she left her husband to go once more behind the foot- lights. The marriage had been celebrated with all the pomp and glitter which gay uni- forms and military etiquette lend even toa offered their congratulations.

MR. VALENTINES ELECTION. From Agent of Wells-Fargo's Ex- press Company to the Head of the Organization. The new president of the San Francisco Young Men’s Christian Association, John J. Valentine, is equally well known as a man prominent in business affairs or a leader in practical philanthropy. The dual and yet well-balanced characteristics | were shown by his remark yesterda reference to his election. “It is an office which, in a pecuniary sense, means all outlay and noincome,” he said laughingly; “but, on the other hand, I believe that ex- penditure of time and money to be a wise one.

Mrs. Davis, under her maiden name of Blanche Bates, took to the stage again, and after touring through the East for several months she is again back in San Francisco with T. Daniel Frawley’s company. The suit is brought by Mr. Davis upon the ground of desertion. There will be no contest, and it is probable that a default will be entered, although an answer may be filed admitting the allegations of the complaint. WATSON WASIN CONTEMPT. Judge Murphy Decides Against the Original Clerk of Police Court Number Two. Ambrose Watson, the former clerk in Police Court No. 2, has been declared to be in contempt of Judge Conlan, the Judge of No. 2, for refusing to turn over, at the court’s order, the books and papers of his office to Morgenstern, his successor. The case was on a petition to the Su- perior Court for a writ of prohibition re- straining Judge Conlan from pursuing his charge of contempt against the recalci- trant clerk, and also upon a motion to dis- 8.

C. = As Lieutenant Ott’slcommission as cap- tain has not yet been signed by the Gover- nor, Captain Ruddell will command his old company during the inspection and musten. § The bugle corps of the Third Regiment miss the charge. The claim was made before Judge Mur- phy that Judge Conlan had no power to pass upon Watson’s title to the position, a right which he assumed when he ordered the books turned over to Morgenstern. Judge Murphy held. however, that regard- less of the power of the Police Judge to pass n the t“cle ‘to the position, the records of the court are nevertheless under the ex- clusive control of the bench, and therefore Watson should have obeyed the order to turn them over. He therefore dismissed the writ and denied the motion.. The case will be appealed to the Supreme: Court, and in the meantime Watson will be arraigned before Judge Conlan for his contempt. A writ of habeas corpus will then be applied for, and upon the appeal from Judge Murphy’s decision and the writ the Supreme Court will have to decide the case finally. ———————— TiERe 15 an article ‘on the market seldom equaled and never exceiled—Jesse Moore Whis- ky.
