WILL BE ARRESTED TO-DAY. Sailors Claim That They Were Bru- tally Treated on the Trip From Baltimore. The American ship May Flint arrivel from Baltimore on the 26th inst. and the men had a tale of cruelty to tell as soon as they were paid off by the United States Shipping Commissioner. Kicking and beating the sailors began before the ship was fairly out of the river and continued up to within a few days of the arrival in San Francisco. According to the story told to the United States Dis- trict Attorney, they were kicked and cuffed on the slightest provocation. They were .compelled to steal a barrel of bread from the store locker. As a result of their testimony warrants are now in the hands of United States Mar- shal Baldwin for the arrest of Captain E. D. P. Nickels and Chief Officer Knight. The latter is out of town and the skipper | could not be found, but Captain James F. | Chapman promised that both shall ap- | pear to answer the charges to-morrow. The complaining witnesses are Ernest Stack, Edward Williams, Adolph Lassen, James O’Brien and Charlie Svensen. “We sailed from Baltimore on March 29 last, and going down the river the trouble began,” said Seaman Williams. ‘O’Brien was kicked and abused horribly in the port | alleyway, and the clothes he then wore are’ aturated with his blood. He is rup- | tured for hife. Charlie Svensen had bhis head cut and his eyes blacked, and was then knocked down with a belaying-pin because he could not see to go aloft. I went forward and asked the old man (the captain) to anchor the ship and hoist the }xo ice flag in order to stop the brutality. e did bring the vessel to an anchor, but when I attempted to hoist the flag he stopped me. That evening he brought a gang of shipping-masters and runners aboard with guns and clubs, and we all got a most awful beating. but the old man told us to wait until the steward was ready to helpus. When our turn finally came all we got was one biscuit and a cup of coffee each. We wereallowed | no molasses with our coffee. When wea | complained and said we would report the | matter in San Francisco we were laughed | at and told our troubles had only just | | T | “At8 . M. we askeddor something to eat, | bagun, and that they didn’t care a snap about San Francisco, as there was no law for sailors in that port. | “We got outon the high seas and the | ship being new steered very badly. In consequence many a one of the men got a punching from the captain and mate be- caunse they could not keep the May Flint on her course. One day Charlie en was holystoning the deck near the wheel- house. He accidentally knocked off a bit of paint with the stone and Captain Vickels saw him. He called Svensen to him and said: ‘Let me have the holy- stone and I'll show you the proper way to |doit.” Svensen gave him the stone and | he grabbed the poor fellow by the throat | and rubbed his face until the skin was rubbed off in several places. { “Ernest Stack was the next man in | trouble. He incurred the anger of the mate and that man seized him by the throat and threw on_the deck. He then kicked and cuffed him and laying him across a spar almost choked him to death. 3 “Lassen was tarring the main back- stays, and Captain Nickels wus walking on | the weather side of the ship. Lassen was | chewing tobacco, and in attempting to spit overboard a few drops of saliva fell on the captain’s hat. When Lassen came | from aloft Captain Nickels rushed at him i and knocked him down and kicked him repeatedly in the stomach, Lassen was laid up.for eight days. “There were plenty of stores aboard, but | we were fed so poorly that some of the boys | were driven to steal a barrel of bread. | ‘Anything is good enough for those | hounds,” was what the captain would say. When we were within a few days’ sail there was a sudden change and nothing | was too good for us, because the old man id, *We'll feed them up now and they’ll in a good humor when we reach | Frisco.” ” : | * Peter Miller kept a daily journal of the | practices on board. He is well versed in { nglish, but wrote the horrible accounts in Danish for fear the captain or mates | would see the book. A few extracts will give some idea of the contents of the jour- | nal Stack one day spilt a little salt water on deck, and was kicked and beaten while mop- ping 1t up. 1 ¥ iton was choked until he was almost stran- | gled. Eifdte Knight often boat Williams, ssying, “You —, I'll kill you yet." In fact. both mates oftén swore they would strew the ves- | #el’s wake with dead sailors. The second mate | had | N. G. Lundgren at the wheel failed to hear the captain’s arder from the forward part of the bridge, and was beaten by the capiain as he st0od gresping the wheel-spokes. He was knocked down and the ship, unsteered, yawed off her course while Nickels was kicking and pounding the prostrate helmsman. First Mate shit 10ld Second Mate Clark that there.was of law in Frisco for an officer, but none sailor, and he need not be afraid of aptain went ashore in Baltimore after police at the request of the crew, after they hat was in store for them In'the way of nent. He returned with a crowd of arding-master Goodhue’s runners, who put a day and & half beating the crew into sub- mission with their revolvers. Mrs. May Flint, the wife of the junior member of the firm, for whom the horrible ( ship is named, is a prominent member of | the Seamen’s Friend Society of New York. She is noted for her good works among the seafaring men of her city, and the sailors aboard of the ship that bears her name are beaten and bruised and starved for pastime. JUSTIFIED THEIR ACTION. Jones & Knight Won the Damage Suit Brought Against Them. Mrs. Jane Breuner lost her suit for dam- ages yesterday against Jones & Knight, proprietors of the Fairmount Hotel. Jus- tice of the Peace Groezinger held that they had a perfect right to eject her from the hotel because she did not pay her rent. Mrs. Breuner claimed that the relation of Jandlord and tenantexisted between them. but the court decided that as she rented a furnished room there was a contract and the proprietors had a perfect right to re- cover possession of their room by locking the door when she fell in arrears for rent. Messrs. Jones & Knight presented a number of ladies, who testified that they had treated Mrs. Breuner with perfect fairness. When the door was locked they offered her another room to sleep in as well as other considerations. They ex- cluded her from her own room simply to protect themselves on the lien they held on her baggage. Had she been allowed to enter the room there would have been all sorts of trouble over the baggage held as security for the rent. On the svowing made by Messrs. Jones & Knight Justice of the Peace Groezinger promptly gave judgment in their favor. —— Ex-Supervisor Goodwin’s Estate. Ex-Supervisor Goodwin left an estate of about $50,000 to his two sisters, Susan A. Goodwin and Mrs. Mollie Gray of Rhode Island, except that $100 is bequeathed to Daniel H. Goodwin, a brother. The schedule of the property is as follows: Liquor business at 407 Battery stree| valued at $30,000; five lotsof land in Oakland; half acre of land situated on the corner of Union street and San Pablo avenue in Oakland; one lot in South San Francisco, near Mount 8t. Joseph ; one acre of land and improvements in this City known as the Five-mile House, and #5000 in bank. WHITE'S DRPOSITIONS. His Memory Is Defective, but the Sun Insurance Company Has His Wife's Testimony. Another deposition of Oattle King White was taken in the office of Linforth & Mc- Fike yesterday. The Sun Insurance Company, which de- sires to foreclose its $75,000 mortgage, got very little satisfaction from the cattle king. His answers were evasive, and in several instances absolutely thwarting. When Receiver Smith went ui; to the big Mendocino County ranch to sell the prop- erty under order of court, he found that the cattle king’s convenient nephew, here- tofore spoken of, had a continuous lease on the land. The Sun Insurance Company and all other creditors of the Mendocino cattle king viewed this lease in the light of a collusive effort to avoid the payment of certain_moneys ordered paid by the Su- perior Court. DENARD BETTER SERCE Ashbury Heights People Are Not Satisfied With Half- Hour Cars. They Declare That the Rallroad People Are Evading the Franchise. An adjourned meeting of property-hold- ers of Ashbury Heights was held Wednes- day evening at the residence of F. W. M. Lang,137 Carl street,for the purpose of devis- ing methods for inducing the Market-street Railway Company to re-establish a fifteen- minute car service along Carl, Clayton, ‘Waller and Cole streets, according to the terms of the franchise under which the road was constructed. Georze W. Hans- borough presided. 4 R. T. Harding reported the result of an interview with General Manager Vining, in which he (Vining) had absolutely re- fused to consider the proposition of run- ning cars every fifteen minutes. Mr. Harding also stated that in the office of the railway company he had come upon a petition signed by many property-own- ers asking for half-hour service. This, in his opinion, had induced Mr. Vining to grant the prayer of the counter petition and resume the running of cars every thirty minutes. One of the members present told how this latter petition had been gotup. A man named W. H. Jones who had been appointed on the committee had deserted his colors and gone over to the enemy. George T. Gaden presented resolutions condemning the railway company, which occasioned a long discussion. It was finally decided to postpone the adoption of the resoiution until the next meeting, and in the meantime to send another committee to see H. E. Hunting- ton or Vice-President Crocker. The chairman appointed the following to serve on this committee: R.T. Harding, J. W. Westover, W. T. Growel, F. J. Coster and A. J. Fritz. On motion it was decided to go into tem- porary organization under the name of the Ashbury Heights and Stanyan-street Improvement Club, and the following committee on constitution and_by-laws was appointed: R. T. Harding, F. W. M. Lang, E. N. Fritz and D. L. Westover. THE ACCUSED INSPECTOR. An Investigation of the Charges Will Be Held by Collector Wise To-Day. 7 E. T. McLean, the customs inspector of the Mail dock, who is accused of taking articles from the baggage of Chinese while' searching them, has demanded an investi- gation and the case will be examined to- day by Collector Wise. McLean gstates that the charges are wholly untrue and that the shirt found in bis possession was given to him by a Chinaman on the dock, which he will prove to-day. He says he is a victim of a combination to injure him, headed by | Captain Anderson of the Mail dock. The accused inspector has been in the Federal | e L1 | affection, and Mr. and Mrs. Massen agreed service twenty-four years and bears a good record. He made the seizure of the bolts of silk found on the City of Panama upon her arrival from the isthmus a few weeks ago, and it is thought that he ‘‘stepped on the toes” of somebody high up in Pacific Mail dock affairs. —e———— THREE POSITIONS ABOLISHED. An Offer of Free Marble to the Harbor Commissioners. At a meeting of the Board of Harhor Commissioners yesterday it was decided that the positions of Wharfinger B. Ride- out at Lombard street, and O. E. Bailey at the Tiburon ferry, which expire September 1, and of J. T. McMahon of Berry street. which expires next year, would be abol- ished at the end of their respective terms. The appointment of Captain Blethen to the tug Governor Irwin was made by Com- missioner Chadbourne at the recommenda- tion of the Board of Trade and a number of prominent Republicans of the City. ‘His credentials are the best Tever saw,” said Mr. Chadbourne, *‘and he was appoint- ed salel{ on that account.” A. J. Westlake, an attache of the secre- tary’s office, was appointed storekeeper and purchasing agent of the commission. A communication was received from N. 8. Misener of Valley Springs, Calaveras County, offering the board free marble {irlom his quarry. The offer was placed on e. The Parafine Paint Company offered to paint the piles along the wharves at from 27 to 30 cents a lineal foot, and all building roofs at $3 a square foot, painting to last five years. e — A NOON BREAKTFAST, The Newspaper Women of the City Will Meet Fraternally. The newspaper women of San Francisco are a fratérnal class of individuals. Their ambition in the past to excel each other in the art of telling stbries on paper will not preclude them from the pleasurable pastime of chatting over a noon breakfast once a week in the future. The ladies will meet at 11 o’clock this morning and eat their first community breakfast. It is whispered that this meeting will result in the formation of a club within which none of the other sex will be admitted, except perhaps to an occasional high jinks in honor of some noted guest. A New Bicycle. 0. B. Potter & Co. have secured the Pa- cific Coast agency—including California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Honolulu and Mexico—for the R. H. Wolff & Co. bicycles, tandem and duplex sociables. This firm will act as distribui- ing agents for these goods and hope to place the retailing business in San Fran- cisco with some good house. A sample of the bicycle has been received, and a car- load of the wheels, including the '96 tan- dem and a few of the duplex, will arrive in this City during the first week of Sep- tember. —————— Mistress and Maid. Mary Dougherty, a servant at the Windsor Hotel, had a scalp wound dressed at the Re- celving Hospital yesterday afternoon. Shesaid she and Mrs, Gilleran had a querrel because she wanted payment of her wages. Mrs. Gil- leran ordered her out of the hotel ggt over the head with & broken glass match- SWEET MARIE'S DIVORCE, Miss Burroughs Is No Longer the Wife of Actor Massen. A DECREE ISSUED YESTERDAY. The Husband Made No Defense to His Wife’s Charge of Un- faithfulness. When Marie Burrougks came here last winter, and at the beginning of a several weeks’ dramatic engagement on this coast instituted a suit for a divorce from her husband, Louis F. Massen, everybody said that it was an advertising dodge. Mr. and Mrs. Massen appeared devoted | to each other while they remained in 8an Francisco, though they declared that their love bordered on the platonic. People said that the advertising dodge wasa very good one. At 8an Jose and Oakland it was cbserved that although the divorce case was being hastened along to trial on the allegation of Mr. Massen's unfaithfulness, the couple lived as man and wife. Thestory wassent all over the country, though Miss Bur- roughs insisted that she was no longera Marie Burroughs, the Actress Di- vorced Yesterday From Louis F. Massen. [From a photograph.] wife to Massen, and all the country said that the dodge was bringing in an immense amount of advertising. Yesterday Miss Burroughs obtained her divorce, the decree being issued by Judge Sanderson. There was delay in the divorce proceed- ings, as it was necessary to obtain deposi- tions from the East, and then a defect in the complaint was found. Miss Burroughs had failed to state in her petition for di- vorce that she was a resident of the State at the time of the beginning of the suit, and Judge Sanderson had some doubts upon the subject. So a new complaint was filed, and the fair young woman of the stage declared her native State to be still her home. And Massen! .He shged away, like the latonic husband that he was—and is no onger. And there was no answer to the charges made by the actor’s wife, aud no denial. Miss Burroughs declared that she was married to Massen in Jersey City on Sep- tember 18, 1884. For nearly ten years they lived a happy married life, but finally their love began to grow mutually pla- tonic. Then a young woman of Cincin- nati, mentioned in the complaint as Dolly Moore, appropriated a share of the actor’s to separate. There was no advertising dodge about it. The actual name of the actress, as given for the purpose of playing the part of plaintiff 1n_the divorce case, was Mrs. Lillie Lee Massen. There is nothing in the divorce decree to show that the hus- band’s name has been discarded. It is merely the husband that has been dis- carded, but Miss Burroughs continues to use the stage name that has been hersall through her married life. The deposition that the actress sent from Boston in relation to her husband’s doings was published two months ago. DEATH OF ISMAC HECHT, He Was a Pioneer and Pros- perous Merchant of San Francisco. A Man Who Was Loved by a Happy Family and a Large Circle of Friends. Tsaac Hecht, a pioneer merchant and capitalist, died at his home, the Castle residence, at the corner of Washington and Laguna streets, yesterday morning. Mr. Hecht had been ill for three or four weeks, but seriously so only about ten days. He had within that time returned from Lake Tahoe, where he had expected to remain for a month, but his illness increasing he was brought home. The cause of death was uremic poisoning, though revicus to his fatal illness he ad enjoyed almost uninterrupted good health, Mr. Hecht was a member of the firm of Buckingham, Hecht & Co., and wag also a member and the organizer of the firm of Hecht Bros., 313 Pine street, in which he was_associated with Jacob H., Abraham E., M.

The suit of Fairfax H. Whelan, adminis- trator of the estate of John H. Baker vs. John Brickell and others, is to be carried to the Supreme Count of the United States, after lingering in the State courts for the past fifteen years. Baker was the owner of Bakers Beach and adjoining Eroberty, and when he died it all vested in his wife. Whelan was ap- pointed administrator, and while the prop- erty ‘was still in the Probate Court Mrs. Blier married David Batchelder. Jointly they sold part of the properties of the estate, and it is for the reccvery of these portions that the administrator is now suing. _ Anact of ConErels passed in 1866 quiet- ing title to purchases made in all such cir- cumstances has stood in the way of the plaintiff so far. Judge Hebbard ruled against them, and the ?nme Court up- held Judge Hebbard. Nothing daunted, the auornez- for the plaintiff laid the mat- ter before the United States Circuit Court and Justice . Field, and in the circum- stances he granted an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. EVANS MUST HANG. The Supreme Court Will Not Interfere in the Tovey Murder Case. The Supreme Court has refused to inter- fere in the case of William Evans, who was convicted of killing Michael Tovey, a Wells-Fargo messenger, in Amador County. Tovey was on the stage running from Ione to Jackson, and was shot and killed on June 15, 1893. A girl named Rudosini, traveling as a passenger, was also killed. Evans was suspected of the murder, and though there was a sharp conflict of evidence as to where he was at about the time of the murder, he was convicted. WANTS A HUSBAND BACK. Mrs. Alexander’s Suit to Have Her Divorce Decree Annulled. She Tells a Story In Court of How She Was Euchred Out of Property. Mrs. Sophia Alexander filed a complaint in the Superior Court yesterdayin which she indicated that her former husband, Sofre L. Alexander, was one of the meanest men on record. She asked the court to set aside her divorce of April 3, 1893, stat- ing that her husband had not adhered to the agreement under which she obtained it. M. M. Foote conducted her suit. The woman declared that her husband left her destitute here, and that she had to support the children while he resided in New Mexico, a man of wealth. Alexander made several attempts to get a divorce in New Mexico, but failed. Then he tried to get his wife to sue, so that she would release her claim on his property. He offered her $7000 in Albu- querque real estate, $600 in cash and agreed to collect the rents for her. Being destis tute, Mrs. Alexander was_compelled to ac- cept the proposition and the divorce, it was alleged, was obtained by collusion. After that the husband failed to adhere to his agreement, Mrs. Alexander declared. The was not paid and no rents were collected for the woman, though a deed of some real estate was given. Then Mrs. Alexander, who had released her husband from all other property claims, went to New Mexico, and when she urged her rights under the agreement the husband got the tenantsto move away from the property he had deeded to her. Mrs. Alexander found that this property was not worth over $4000, and that there was a $3000 mortgage on it. The husgand’s final stroke was to get the mortgage foreclosed and then buy back the property for himself. Mprs. Alexander said that the husband had an estate valued at $100,000, though he used to mu - her think he was poor. She wanted her divorce set aside, and asked the court to restore her former claim in the Alexander estate. e —————— OLOSE OF THE OIPRICO OASE. The Judge’'s Charge Will Be Made, Then Comes the Verdict. The trial of Ferdinand D. Ciprico for conspiracy in forging Chinese. certificates was not completed yesterday. Assistant United States District Attorney Bert Schlesinger closed an able argument for the Government in the morning and Car- roll Cook made an ingenious plea for the defendant in the afternoon. He held that Stidger and Sullivan were conspirators with Foss and Katszaur and their testi- mony being uncorroborated it was there- fore inadmissibie. The closing speech for the Government was made by District Attorney Foote. The point he sought to imPreu upon the jury was the fact that while they were in the County Jail Ciprico sought to induce Sullivan to perjure himself. Judge Foote made a telling speech and his argument carried full weight. At its close Judge Morrow adjourned court, saying he would instruct the jury this morning. e Fire Department. The Fire Commissioners at their meeting yesterday afternoon accepted the resignations of W. J. Welsh, hoseman of engine 18, and Leo W. Schmolk of truck 7. W.J. R. Bartlett was appointed to succeed Schmolk. A resolution was passed that all bills against the depart- ment will be considered in future only on the first Thursday of each month. Chief Bullivan announced that the Board of Fire Underwriters had offered to sub-let the lot adjoining their place on Eddy and Polk streets to the depart- ment for $5 per month in consideration that chemical engine 4, which was now with enslne 15, be housed there. The cost of a building would be about $1200.° The secretary was in- structed to recommend the Board of Super- visors to accept the offer. SUICIDE IN A CEMETERY, Frederick Husing Dies on the Grave of His Wife’s Former Husband. A TAILOR TIRED OF LIFE Business Said to Be Mainly Respon- sible for the Despondent Man’s Mad Deed. Frederick Husing, a tallor at 317 Hayes street, committed * suicide in the .0dd Fellows’ Cemetery by shooting himself twice yesterday morning. The shots were heard by the superintendent of the ceme- tery, and on investigating he found Husing unconscious on top of the grave of his wife’s former husband. Beside him was a revolver of the buildog pattern with two chambers empty. The ambulance was summoned and the unconscious man was taken to the Re- cewving Hospital. One bullet had entered the left breast and lodged in the region of the heart, while the other had entered his abdomen. Under the powerful stimulants administered he regained consciousness for a few minutes, but refused to talk as he said he wanted to die. He died three hours later and his body was taken to the Morgue. Husing had been in businessat 317 Hayes street for about fifteen years, ever since he married his wife, who was then a young widow. They had five children, the eldest a girl of 14 and' the youngest a boy of 3 years. The family lived above the shop. Mrs. Husing said her husband had break- fast as usual yesterday morningk. and be- fore going down to the shop he kissed her and the children. He had been despon- dent of late owing to a falling off in his business, but yesterday morning seemed to be happier than he had been for some time. e went into the shop but only remained a few moments, saying he was going out to | collect some bills, He had apparently gone direct to the cemetery. ‘1 can assign no other cause for the rash act,” said Mrs. Husing, “‘except business troubles. We have always lived happily together and he was a good husband and father. About a year ago the business beganbo!au off, people did not pay their debts and my ‘husband was seriously embarrassed for ready money.” Dr. H. R. Bell, the family physician, who was in attendance at the hospital up to the moment of Husing’s death, said he had known him intimately for a number of years. He had been drinking heavily of late and the doctor was inciined to think that excesses in thatdirection had as much 10 do with his suicide as business troubles. The deceased was a member in good atand(i)ng of Abou Ben Adhem Lodge, . & Trouble on Stevenson Street. George G. Gillesple, a chemist, of 562 Steven- son street, who ran on the Populist ticket at the late election for the Assembly, was arrested {esterdu for battery and was immediately re- eased on his own recognizance by Judge Con- lan. The complaining witness is Mrs, Margaret Sheedy of 558 Stevenson street. Gillespie has been annoyed by the Sheedy children calling bim names and on Wednesday he caught one of them and cuffed him. Mrs. 8heedy and her husband attacked Gillespie and during the fight Mrs. Sheedy’s finger got into Gillespie’s mouth dand his teeth closed upon it. Hence the charge of battery. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
