A YOUNG MAN FROM BORNEO. Departure of the Monterey—The Yacht El Sueno Won the Chal- lenge Cup. The Pacific Mail steamship Coptic ar- rived yesterday from the Orient and showed a clean bill of health from Yoko- | hama. Quarantine Officer Chalmers sub- | jected the people on board to a rigid ex- | amination and found no infectious disease | and the vessel was permitted to dock. The who have seen this young woman will re- member that she displays below the bloomers a pair of ample calves. Yesterday when several hundred school chilaren discovered those calves they were at first inspired with awe. Soon, however, their curiosity was aroused, and simulta- neously about 150 youngsters determined to ascertain if it was a really genuine arti- cle or only ‘‘make believe.” i In a minute 150 pins of various lengths and degrees of sharpness were produced, and she of the ample calves began to per- form a war dance as each inquisitive young- ster satisfied him or herself. ‘When the gum girl could stand the an- noyance and the pins no longer she broke irom the inciosure and fled to the ladies’ dressing-room with the youthful mob at her heels. The young girl tried to take refuge in an inside room, but she was sur- rounded again by her tormentors. So great was the tumult that all the police and watchmen were attracted, and 1t was not until the children were driven from the room by Superintendent Smyth that she breathed freely again. She was obliged to put on her street dress before she Sand to appear at the booth again. NO DANGER OF CHOLERA. Reports of the Epidemic at Honolulu Are Greatly Exag- gerated. There is no danger of an epidemic of cholera in San Francisco. That is the judgment of Quarantine Officer Dr. Chal- mers and Dr. Morse, chairman of the Board of Health, who have made a thorough in- vestigation of the report brought by the Oceanic steamship Monowai that cholera was ragine at Honolulu and that it was carried there by the steamship Belgic, which subsequently visited San Francisco. According to this investigation there was apparently no ground for the sensa- | tional story circulated yesterday that the Chinese passengers who came by the Belgic might be scattered over the State ready to spread the dread plague, from having been exposed to it on shipboard. The news which came by the Monowaix THE GALLAGHERS' MONEY, Father Nugent’s Tribute to the Patrons of St. Rose’s Parish Church. WERE NATIVES OF IRELAND, The Funds Were Given With the Hope of Preventing Another Will Contest. The Rev. Father Nugent of St. Rose’s parish makes the following statement concerning the Gallaghers and the good uses to which their money was put toward the construction of his new church build- ing: “‘Thomas Gallagher, who earned the money, and Mrs. Ellen Gallagher who ad- vanced it, in compliance with an explicit understanding with ber husband, for build- ing St. Rose’s splendid new church, in course of erection on Brannan street, were natives of County Donegal, Izeland, and the families of both were acquainted. Mr. Gallagher learned the trade of blacksmith in his native country and worked some time in England before coming to America. He first got employment in Philadelphia, to which city his future wife had also emi- grated. He next went or was sent to the State of Maine, where through his own | ingenuity he erected new gas works, and 1 he was afterward brought to this City ! under contract of the Donahue brothers | (Peter and James) to superintend the lay- | ing of the gas mains. “From this place he went to Stockton, THE EL SUENO LEADING THE QUEEN IN TEE STRETCH TO HUNTERS POINT. [Sketched by a “ Call” artist.] Coptic brings news that cholera is raging | in Japan, and on boara an Italian cruiser | at Kobe several of the crew had died of | | the plague. The vessel is quarantined. A number of the crew of the Japanese cruiser | | Matsushima Kan had died at Kelung and | several more of the war vessels had been attacked by the disease. The United States | cruisers had all sought places of safety and | it is not known that any cases have been | found aboard of them. At Foochow, | China, cholera had appeared in the Rus-| sian squadron and a large number of men | was down with the disease. Several deaths | had occurred. | There were thirty-one oabin passengers on the Coptic, among whom were James Barmelee and Ralph King, bankers of New | York; F. A. Bicknell, artist; Captain Hugo | Storm from Borneo; J. D. Hanbury, a watch factory proprietor from Japan; H. J. Hunt, a Japanese tea merchant, en route to England. Captain Storm has an interesting com- panion, really an adopted son, named Joe. Young Joe Storm is only 3 years old, but is a most intelligent *‘kid,”” con- | sidering the fact that his mother was an orang-outang lady of barbarous propensi- ties, and his pa a very bad orang-man of Borneo. Captain Storm was obliged to make little Joe an_orphan orang-outang with a double-barreled shotgun in order to gecure him for civilizing purposes, The captain will take his protege home to Ta- coma and give him a thorough education in English. The first thing Joseph will learn is that Tacoma is a metropolis and Seattle only an Indian village. The Coptic brought 118 Chinese and fif- teen Japanese steerage passengers. The Pacific Mail steamship Acapulco ar- rived from Panama yesierday afterncon with the following cabin passengers: H. H. Ficke, Mrs. C. A. Park, A.S. Park, H. 8. Park, the Misses Park, E. Caldicott, 8. Marino, C. H. Lougee, J. M. Arguiano, L. H. Griftith, P. Largle, Theodore Paschke, Rosa F.de Campos, Enrecita Cortez, Jose Primero, F. Arevalo, R. 8. Gutmann, George O'Hara, F.Mentken, O. Eckstein | and family, C. Perez, Senor Phelippi and family, A.Casco. There were forty-three in the steerage. E. Acosta, a wealthy Mexican of Mazatlan, came aboard the steamer at that port, en route for San Francisco, on the 22d and died at sea on the morning of the 30th. He wasan in- valid and ndgdicted to the use of intoxica- ting liquors. He was buried at sea twelve hours after his death. Henry Seiler, a pantryman on the Aca- pulco, became temporarily insane and Jumped overboard a few days out from Mazatlan, A _boat was lowered and the man rescued. He is confinea aboard of the steamer. The steamer Washtenaw arrived yester- day, twelve day and sixteen hours from Panama, with a full cargo. The Monowai on her voyage from Aus- tralia spoke the ship Niobe of Greenock from Newcastle bound for San Francisco, in latitude 33 deg. 2 min. south, longitude 177 deg. 44 min. All were well on board, and the vessel making good headway to her destination. The race between the yachts EI Sueno of the Encinal Club and the Queen of the San Franciscos took place yesterday aiternoon. Both vessels had een preparing for weeks in anticipation of the contest, and a stubborn aquatic fight was to be made for the challenge cup. The start at the narrow-gauge pier was made at 2 o’clock, the El Suepo crossing the line a little in advance of her rival. In the dead beat to windward toward Blossom Rock she gained on the Queen about 3 minutes, and in the run to Hunters Point she gained almost 3 minutes more. In the return stretch to Mission Rock stakeboat the Queen fell further behind, and in the run home the El Suepo set her spinnaker, water-sail and gaff topsail, crossing the line fully nine minutes ahead of her little competitor, The wind was light and not favorable for the defeated craft. The yacht Volunteer sailed around, keeping close to the Queen, the object be- ing to test the latter vessel's speed for some future contest. The Queen had four minutes’ time allowance. The coast defense vessel Monterey sailed for Mare Island yesterday afternoon. TESTED HER OALVES. Painful Experience of a Young Gir! With ‘White Bloomers. The pretty little gum girl in white bloomers who presides over the gum stand 1:10 and the Chinese had & row over a fish deal and the latter waylaid him on his way home. He took the weapon from the Chinese and beat bim with it, in the north gallery of the Mechanics' Pa- vilion had an exciting experience yester- day that she will not soon forget. Those was to the effect that Capiain Carey had refused to land at Honolulu or to even bring the mails from there on his return from the Orient, because cholera was epi- demic at that port. First Officer McMecken of the Monowai said of cholera at Honolulu when they left, and that two deaths had occurred. said, further: Captain Carey, knowing if he landed or took | anything whatever aboard from the port, that be would be quarantined at San Francisco, de- clined to take the risk. The purser took a verbal message from the minister with the in- structions to transmit it to theState Depart- ment upon the ship’s arrival here. This was done, and the message contained simply the information that cholera prevailed to the ex- tent mentioned. AFFILIATED COLLEGES. Potrero Taxpayers Discuss John Cen- ter’s Offer of a Site and Appoint a Committee. The offer by John Center of a site in the Potrero for the Affiliated Colleges building was discussed at a meeting of taxpayers held at the Lick School, on Sixteenth and Utah streets, last night. The meeting was called to order by J. Glocken, secretary of the Southern Heights Improvement Club, and George A. Mer- nil, principal of the Lick School, was made chairman. Mr. Merrill addressed the meeting on the superior advantages of the site offered by Mr. Center. Mr. Merrill dwelt on the accessibility of the site within one mile of the City Hall, and comprising seven acres, or 400 by 760 feet and lies between Fifteenth and Sixteenth and Bryant and Potrero streets, Mr. Haskins urged the correction of mis- representations that had gone out about the site. E.L. Lowe urged the committee of the advantages to professors, the students, who must have an accessible Elace, and 1o persons who would submit themselves to clinics. He spoke of the elevated location of the site which forms one of the small hills in refutation of the rumor that it was in a swamp. Mr. Center was aked toaddress the meet- ing, and entertained his hearers with a his- tory of the Potrero. A committee, composed df E. L. Lowe of 730 Fillmore street, A. Raymond, Potrero avenue, and H. W. Newbauer of 412 Front street, was appointed to prepare a state- ment of facts and prepare a petition to be presented to the committee of the Board of Regents of the University of California that has in charge the recommend ation of a site. NEW POLITICAL MOVE, Gunst and Rainey Sald to Be Work- ing for an Increased Police Force. It was common talk yesterday that a determined effort will be made at the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors to revive the ordinance introduced some time ago in regard to adding seventy-five men to the police force. The proposed increase found favor in the eyes of Bupervisors King, Benjamin, Hughes, Dimond and Dunker, while the remainder of the board were opposed to anything not necessary, particularly when such action meant extra cost to the City. 1t develops, however, that a large part of the opposition was the result of internal dissension over the question of patronage. One party wanted the Supervisors to have the naming of sixty members, or five each, while others thought that they could easily et along with two or three, leaving the gnlnnce to the Police Commissioners, S8am Rainey and Moses A. Gunst have thrown themselves into the breech, as the story goes, and have secured the consent of the members, who s out for five places each, to reduce their claim to three, or thirty-six for the entire board. Rainey and Gunst are now using their influence with Supervisors Wagner and Morgenstern in the hope of inducing these gentlemun to vote with Messrs. King, enjamin, Dimond, Hughes and Dunker. Ned Lanigan, who is the strong personal friend_and political bedfellow of Super- visor Wagner, laughs at the idea of that gentleman melting under the influence of either Rainey or Gunst; neither does he think it possible for sufficient influence to be brought to bear on any of the other Supervisors to cause them to change front. esterday that there were eight cases | McMecken | where he built the gas works, and aftera | few years sold out, returned to San Fran- cisco and invested what money he realized in property on Kearny street. It is the | proceeds of the rents and sale of this prop- | erty that is now building St. Rose’s Church, which will be one of the finest churches on | the coast and an ornament to the City. “Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher were well mated, being of a religious turn of mind, and hav- |ing no children they gave up the idea, over a quarter of a century ago, of making Thomas Gallagher. [From a phofograph.] money and concluded to enjoy what they had. Mr. Gellagher would often say that he would not wear himself out accumulat- ing money for his relations to quarrel over and perbaps lead them to destruction. He was also very much _opposed to bequeath- m]g‘ any considerable sum of money to relatives, especially if they were young, lest instead of being an advantage to them it might prove a disadvantage. He often declared he would be his own executor if Mrs. Ellen Gallagher. [From a photograph.} he were spared. and that he would *leave the great bulk of his means to some worthy religious institution. “Mrs. Gallagher shared the views of her husband fully. In fact, she had not an idea that was not his, and after his death hersole aim in_life was to carry ot his intentions as enjoined on her. When the estate was wound up she intimated that she would at least be her own executrix by advancing money enough to enable the erection of a fine church for the peopie of 8t. Rose’s parish, who could never supply themselves with sucn & building. She hoped that her example might induce some other rich ladies near her to under- take some other noble work, “She was incessant in urging me to begin the edifice, and as real estate was difficult to dispose of, in order to make a com- mencement, she donated all the ready money she could s 3 “Ground was first broken a year ago last Avpril, and the basement story finished be- fore the winter rains,at a cost of over $28,000. A solid foundation of clay and rock was found nineteen feet below the sidewalk. The concrete walls fourteen feet high are in some places twelve feet wide and are very rich in cement. This made the foundation very expensive, but it is one of the best in the City. The basement will be thirteen feet in the clear. The church Pmp" has a frontage of 95 feet by a depth of 160. Mr8. Gallagher wasmost im- patient to see the work progress and an- noyed at every delay. “When reading of the contests of so many wills she would smile and express the wish that there would not be much to contest after her, and that she might be spared to bring her undertaking to a suc- cessful issue. She expressed the belief with her husband that as they had no children the best thing that could be done with their money was to expend it here where it was accumulated, in some insti- tution which would be a gerpemnl benefit to the community, and which while bein bnilt would give employment in these har times to many deserving people. “Like another lady of & similar turn of mind across the bay she insisted that the whole thing would be kept a secret until the church should be completed and the day of its dedication. But the secret has leaked out prematurely by an attempt to frustrate the designs of the benefactress, and divert the funds toa channel for which she never intended them.” AMATEUR THEATRICALS, Performance of ¢ Captain Swift’’ the Benefit of St. Joseph’s Literary Society. ‘What bids fair to be a very entertaining performance is to take place in St.Joseph’s Hall, Tenth and Howard streets, next ‘Wednesday evening, when the four-act drama, ‘‘Captain Swift,” by the kind per- mission of T. Daniel Frawley, will be pro- for duced, with a strong cast, under the direc- | tion of Leo Cooper. The purpose of the performance is to raise funds to furnish the rooms of the | literary society. St. Joseph’s Literary Society is one of the latest organizations to come into public prominence. It was organized in St. Joseph’s parish by Rev. Father Joseph M. Gleason five or six months ago and during that short time has attracted attention by its able work. The church was well equipped in the line of purely religious societies and sodalities. The literary society was organized to sup- ply a need. Itissocial and educational in its aim. The young men who apply for membership must be at least over 18 years | old. T. Daniel Frawley has, by his advice, aided the society in many ways from the beginning, and Leo Cooper says it will be the most successful amateur affairin many years. The cast is as follows: Mr. Gardiner, an Australian squatter, George Ryan; Mr. Wilding, the adventarer, Thomas Hickey; Mr. Beabrook, an English gentleman, | Daniel M. Fitzgerald; Harry Seabrook, his son, Milton Bernard ; Marshall, Seabrook's brother, Dennis Horgan: Mr. Ryan, Queensland detec- tive, katrick Barry; Bates, W. H. Hamilton; Mrs. Seabrook, Miss Anna Daly: Mabel, her deughter, Charlotte Secorde; Stella Darbisher, her ward and nurse, Anna Peters; Lady Stan- ton, Fannie Regaudiat. STONE AND HIS PASS, Another Charge to Be Brought Against Huntington on His Arrival Here. In the light of developments made within the past twenty-four hours by members of the American Railway Union they are more than ever determined to .prosecute C. P, Huntington on the charge of having violated the interstate commere | act in issuing a pass to Frank M. Stone. They now claim to bave evidence that the pass given to Stone by the Southern Pacific president has been used not only in an interstate journey but fora trip across the continent, and to have the most positive evidence of its use between Ogden and San Francisco. n January, 1894, Stone went to New York for Dr. McDonald in reference to matters connected with the Pacific and People’s banks, and some of the ex-strikers state that they can prove that the pass was used on this trip, for part of it to Og- den, if not clear across to the Atlantic. It is not proposed to drop the pendin; case in which Stone used the pass to Red- ding, but a double use of the pass will be charged. When Mr. Huntington arrives here a warrant will be sworn out for his arrest be- fore Mayor Sutro under a Federal statute creating Mayors Federal magistrates. The case will then be taken before the Federal Grand Jury and the United States Attor- ney-General will probably be asked to ap- point special counsel to prosecute the case. MAY DELAY THE TRIAL. A Legal Holiday May Postpone the Durrant Case for Twenty-Four Hours Tt is possible that the opposing forces in the Durrant case may assemble in court to- morrow only to take an adjournment for twenty-four hours. Attorney Deuprey has learned that Mon- day is Labor day, and that Labor day was made a legal holiday by a recent act of Congress. There is a question as to the bear- ing of the act of Congress, in that Califor- nia celebrates a Labor day of her own, but in case Judge Murphy rules adversely in the matter an exception will be taken and a point made whereon to hang ag appeal to the Supreme Court. The members of the District Attorney’s office to whom Deuprey communicated his discovery hold the opinion that there is nothing in the point. Presiding Judge BSanderson believes, however, that in case | an objection is raised, it woald in a case of this importance be wise to allow it. But he will not as presiding Judge issue any order affecting the other departments. Judge Murphy declines to discuss the mat- ter till the objection is raised in his own court. WILLIAM GOULD EONORED.

FETED UNDER THE TREES, A Garden Party Given in Aid of St. Raphael’s Church. DAZZLING, DISPLAY IS MADE. Mrs. O'Connor’s Residence In San Rafael a Bower of Lights and Flowers. Soft as the meilow light of the waning moon, the luster of Chinese lanterns shone over lawn and patliway at the O’Connor | place in San Rafael last evening. All San Rafael was there ard much of San Francisco. The garden party, for such it was, was given in aid of the Church of St. Raphael, of San Rafael, and over the event the genial pastor himself, Father Lagan, pre- sided. He managed things with a master hand, but he had no lack of able assist- ance, and as a consequence the fete wasa great success. The booths were scattered over the lawn, over the pathways and under the big cypresses in the garden, and all were decorated with art. The grab-bag booth, a type of all the others, stood at the foot of two big cypresses. It wassetin an arbor, round the posts of which stems of growing ivy thickly twined themselves, while tasty fingers had added strings of lanterns and garlands of green. The other booths were much the same, varied only in the manner gfléheir decoration and the wares they eld. There was a progamme of a miscellane- ous character on the lawn in front, during both afternoon and evening, and upin the Japanese booth there was more music to help the hours pass. Those in charge of the refreshment booths on the lawn were: Mrs. W. J. Wockman, Mrs. F. N.
