2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1895. - BOTH IN' FINE FORM. ModernYachts All Ready for the Coming Races. DEFENDER IS FAVORITE. Englishmen Inclined to Bet Three to One Against Dunraven’s Boat. VALKYRIE'S OWNER CONFIDENT Smiling Blandly, He Says the Odds WIll Be a Good Thing for Somebody. W ROCHELLE, N.Y., Sept. 3.—The Defender left her moorings at 1 o'clock this morning and took a spin eastward as far as Captains Island to test her new Wil- son and Ailsbee sails, which were stretched yesterday. The wind was blowing a ten- knot breeze early in the day, but fell al- most to a dead calm at 2 o'clock and as a result a fair trial of the new sails was not had. The yacht reached here at 5 o’clock to-night and is noW anchored off Premium Point. The Defender will in all probability not g0 in the drydock again before the first cup race, but will leave here on Friday morn- ing for Erie Basin, where she wiil be officially measured preparatory to the race. She will be out again to-morrow, and it is hoped by Mr. Iselin and Captain Haff that they will be favored with a good stiff breeze. Itcan be put down as certain that the syndicate has something up its sleeve as regards the Defender’s sailing qualities that will cause a surprise when the races are sailed. The Vaikyrie III completed her tuning- up to-day and was drydocked this after- noon to have her hull put in shape for the America’s cup races. She is in fine condi- tion and Lord Dunraven is perfectly satis- fied with her, barring her color. He sent her across the Atlantic and under his orders the black coating which she was given before his arrival is being removed to-night and she will be painted white to- morrow for the races. Her last sail outside of Sandy Hook this forenoon emphasized her ability in light winds, and the way she turned her back on a wholesale breeze this afternoon and took a tow to Erie Basin showed that Lord Dunraven and his advisers are satisfied with her sails and spars and desire to give what time remains to her decks and under- body. Lord Dunraven was surprised with the cable report that betting in London was 3 to 1 on Defender, and asked how the bet- ting was here. He was told that odds varied greatly and that even money was the vroper thing, many believing that it was largely & matter of betting on wind, with the Defender prepared for a blow and the Valkyrie for light winds. Mr. Glennie said he did not take any stock in the cable dispatch. Lord Dunraven when asked what he thought of it, replied: “Well, with 3 to 1 on the other side and even money here I should say it was a pretty good thing for somebod: PLYMOUTH, ExG., Sept. 3.—In the Plymouth Royal regatta to-day the Niag- ara, Isolde and Inyoni took part in a race for yachts exceeding seventeen and not ex- ceediag twenty-one raters. The first prize was £15 and the second The Inyoni did not finish. The finishing times were: Niagara 1:51:02, Isolde 1 10. DISTRIBUTION OF DRUGS. Wholesalers Have a Plan to Keep Up the Prices. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 3.—The new plan of distributing proprietary medicines was revealed to-day at the afternoon session of the wholesale druggists. The plan pro- vides for a committee of fifteen, to be known as the proprietary goods commit- 1ee, to be selected from the thirteen sec- tions of the United States by the manu- facturers, the chairman to be elected by the Wholesale Druggists’ Asscciation, and one to be selected by all the proprietors. This committee is to select a list of parties to serve as wholesale distributors of patent medicines, to appoint a general sales agent, to act as a board of arbitration and to designate a bank as depository for all commissions. The makers of patent medi- cines must name a long price, with freight Prepaid, and retail prices are to be main- tained the sameat all times. The general sales agent will pay all commissions quar- terly to sub-agents, and 1s empowered to revoke agencies upon suspicion. The com- mittee is to hear all appeals and attend to the reinstating of sub-agents thus deprived of the privileges of selling the goods under the control of the general agent. Sub- agents are to pay the expenses of operat- ing the system. Discussion on this plan was made a special order for Thursday. CotsacsOut \FINES FOR BULL-FIGHTERS. Leniency Shown the Mexicans by the Colorado Awthorities. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., 8ept. 3.— In Division 1 of the District Court this af- ternoon the cases of cruelty to animals against Joseph Marrerro, Carlos Garcia and Antonio Sentrea, the Mexican bull- fighters, were called and Senor Barela, the Mexican Consul at Trinidad, Colo., was present and was sworn as interpreter. The Senor made an eloguent appeal on behalf of the prisoners and the Prosecuting At- torney also asked for leniency. Marrerro pleaded guilty on four counts and the other two j.risoners on seven counts. They were fined $15 and costs on each count and to stand committed until paid. Up to the Eresent the fines have not been paid. enor Barela expressed the opinion that sufficient money will be raised to have the men released from custody. The plea of guilty by the Mexicans to violating the State laws sets at rest any guestion of an international issue between fexico and the United States growing out of the arrest of the bull-fighters. iy LA New York Prohibitionists. SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Much the same enthusiasm which predominates at any political State convention was manifest et the opening session of the prohibition- ists in Convention Hall this morning. Rev. — Apollinains “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.” Received the HIGHEST AWARD at the WORLD'S FAIR, and at the ANTWERP EXHIBITION, . I. K. Funk, D.D., of Kings County, was unanimously chosen temporary chairman. 1n iaking the chair he defigmd a stigring adcress along prohibition . lines. Com- mittees on credentials, rules and order of permanent organization, resolutions and platform were adopted. SELL s DELIBERATELY MURDERED. Matt O’Brien Killed by a Man Who Had Just Been Introduced. LEADVILLE, Coro., Sept. 3..—Matt O’Brien was deliberately murdered by Richard Sables this morning. Sables was walking along a street in the upper part of the city and met an old friend named Mc- Avoy. The latter was accompanied by Matt O’Brien, whom he introduced to Sa- bles. After a few minutes’ talk Sables said to McAvoy: “I guess I'll kill you.” The matter was laughed off, when sud- denly Sables said, “I won’t kill you, Mack, but T'll shoot your friend.” Beiore McAvoy knew what was going to happen, Sables placed a revolver against O’'Brien’s breast and fired. O’Brien lived only a few minutes. He leaves a widow and eight children. After tke shooting Sables started toward the jail, saying he would give himself up, but he dodged into an alley and escaped. A party of O’'Brien’s friends are looking for Sables, and if they get him before the officers do he will un- doubtedly be strung up to the nearest telegraph-pole. Telign DIED IN A DENTIST'S CHAIR. Passing of a Woman While Under the Influence of Chloroform. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Sept. 3.— Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Calvert, wife of Ed- wara Calvertof Youngstown in this county, died under the influence of chloroform ad- ministered by Dr. W. F. Falkner, Sunday morning, previous to her having fourteen teeth extracted. After the last tooth had been pulled Mrs. Calvert suddenly col- lapsed. For two hours Dr. Falkner and Dentist Bentley, aided by Dr. Raymond of Fort Niagara, applied restoratives and tried artificial respiration, but she could not be revived. An examination of her heart previous to the administration of the drug showed that organ to be in good condition. Mrs. Caivert’s age was 59. VICTIMS OF THE WRECK First Death Resulting From the Coney Island Excursion Train Disaster. Seven or Eight of the Injured Will Suffer the Loss of Limbs by Amputation. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3.—One man died early to-day and thirty-four men and women are in the Brooklyn hospitals suf- fering from injuries caused by the run- away locomotive crashing into the Coney- Island-bound excursion train on the New York and Sea Beach Railway at Wood- lawn station yesterday afternoon. Of this number thirty-one are in the Norwegian Deaconess Home Hospital. . Some of the wounded will have to lose limbs and be otherwise maimed for life. One of the patients in the Seney Hos- pital, William H. Pointer of Newark, died at 4 o’clock this morning. He was taken from the wreck suffering compound frac- ture of both legs. Concerning seven ,or eight patients whose limbs it may be necessary to ampu- tate, and whose deaths may result, Dr. Delatour declined to give names, as possi- bly amputations may not be necessary. He does not care to needlessly alarm their relatives. Engineer Jensen and Fireman Rosg, who jumped from the engine before it came nto collision with the up train, as well as Engineer David Hummel and Conductor Joseph Hilyer of that train, were arraigned before Judge Rhodes in the New Utrecht Police Court to-day. Superintendent Richard Larke of the Sea Beach road said that no one was to blame for the catas- trophe. When Engineer Jensen saw the incoming train of empty cars it was too late to avoid a collision. He reversed the lever and told the fireman to jump. The collision broke the engineer’scab, and part of the wreckage fell on_the throttle lever, breaking this and throwing the throttle wide open. There was then nothing to prevent the engine from shooting forward. Now that one of the victims hasdied there will be an official inquiry. S e CONDITION OF THE CROPS. In Various States the Weather Has Been Favorable. CHICAGO, Ivv., Sept. 3.—The reports as to the condition of crops throughout the country and the general influence of the weather on growth, cultivation and harvest were made to-day by the directors of the several State weather services. The re- ports received at Chicago are as follows: The week has been generally favorable for securing and maturing crops and for plowing and seeding. Late crop corn bhas experienced a general improvement in the principal corn States and is maturing rap- idly. In portions of South Dakota and Wisconsin, however, the frost of Saturday caused some injury. In Minnesota the crop is reported to have escaped injury from frost. In Iowa the greater part of the crop is ready for cutting, which will soon be general elsewhere. Frosts were gienernl on Baturday and Sunday from ontana eastward to Michigan. L2 S gb e e Knights of St. John and Malta. HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 3.—The Chap- ter General of American Knights of St. John and Malta began its session in the hall of the House of Representatives this morning. The 300 delegates for the United States and Canada were given a_welcome to the State by Adjutant-General Stewart, who took the fvlsce of the Governor. P. F. McGowan of New York responded. The quomtmcnz of a committee on credentials followed. — Struck a Flow of Gas. DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 8.—While drilling a well for water on the farm of Henry Kvans, living near Berwick, this county, the drill, at adepth of eighty-two feet struck a strong flow of gas. ater and earth were thrown into the air for two hundred feet, and three men working close to the well were overcome by gas, but soon recovered.

PENALTY FOR THE OFFENSES. If Convicted the Swindler May Be Sentenced to Thirty-Five Years’ Imprisonment. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 3.— Dr. George W. Fraker, the insurance swindler, arrived at Kansas City at 5:30 o’clock this evening in the custody of his captors and was at once placed in -the jail of Jackson County. He was met at the depot by the Sheriff of Ray County, who placed him under arrest on five charges of attempt to defraud and obtain money under false pre- tenses. It was in Ray County that Dr. Fraker pretended to fall into the river and drown, and as that act was the principal oneina series to defraud the insurance companies, he will be prosecuted there. If heis found guilty on each of the five charges made against him, he may be sent to prison for thirty-five years, seven years on each. At the same time criminal prosecution was begun against Dr. Fraker steps were taken to recover the insurance money which had been paid to ex-Judge Lincoln, the executor of the estate, and this morn- ing before Judge Foster, in the Federal court here, attorneys for five of the de- frauded insurance companies filed five suits. They were against James E. Lin- coln, executor of the estate; George W. Magruder, trustee for the Fraker orphans; W. E. Fowler, Judge of the Probate Court at Liberty; Nancy J. Magruder and Cyn- thia A. Hatfield, sisters of Dr. Fraker, and the Commercial Savings Bank at Liberty, Mo. The petition in each suit reviewed the facts of the insurance policy on Dr. Fraker’s life being in force on July 10, 1893, when he disappeared and ‘falsely and fraudulently pretended to be dead, and conspired with James Triplett, George Harry, Jake Crowley and others to pre- tend that he was drownedin Ray County.” The petition recites that Fraker lefta will by which Lincoln was made executor and his sisters and nephews were made his heirs; that the heirs demanded the $358,- 000 insurance money, which was refused, and that suit was brought and judgment obtained against the insurance companies by the heirs. It states that the evidence by which the judgment was obtained was perjured and false. The judgment had been paid to Executor Lincoln August 12, and on September 1 it was discovered that Dr. Fraker was alive in Minnesota. The court is asked to set aside the judgment which was rendered in favor of the Fraker heirs and that Lincoln and Magruder be ordered to pay back the judgment money, the principal and interest, and thav Judge Lincoln and the other defendants be en- joined from paying out any of the money. Judge Foster made the injunction as asked, which will be in force till the United States Circuit Court meets here early in November, when Judge Phillips will reopen the case, set aside the judg- ment and order the money returned to the insurance companies. How much of the money paid over to Judge Lincoln has been paid over to the Fraker heirs is not known. The Modern Woodmen of America will recover the whole of the $2000 policy held in that order by Dr. Fraker. This money was paid to Miss Utter, clerk of the United States court, in a check,and it still remains in her hands, Judge Lincoln having ne- glected to call for it. By agreement of the attorneys this check will be held by Miss Utter till the final settlement of the case before Judge Phillips. WTLESVCE N CAWP Caused Consternation at a Religious Meeting in Texas. One Man Badly Bitten by the Rep- tile While In a State of Fervor. PARIS, Tex., Sept. 3.—During the prog- ress of a service at a camp-meeting three miles from this city las night a lad by the name of Collier ‘was bitten by a rattle- snake. ‘When the snake first made its appear- ance in the congregation . consternation reigned supreme. Collier was lying upon the ground near the pulpit in a state of re- ligious fervor. Those near him cried out words of warn- ing, to which he replied, “Let her go,” unconscious of his danger. The snake coiled and with a hiss struck the almost fatal blow, fastening its fangs deep in Collier’s hand. Oollier, in extri- cating the reptile, threw it in the mid- dle of the assemblage and a panic ensued. Kind friends placed him in a wagon and started upon a race for medical aid. When he reached here he was almost dead and until this morning no hopes were enter- tained for his recovery. S e s Dividends for Depositors. WASHINGTON, D.

C., Sept. 3.—Gen- eral Coppinger, commander of the De- partment of the Platte, his aid, Lieuten- ant Hutchinson, and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Browning had a conference this morning with Secretary Lamont and Major Davis in connection with the Ban- nock Indian troubles. GeneralCoppinger, who commanded the recent expedition against the Bannocks in Jacksons Hole, said: “I do not consider the Indians were to blame for the Jacksons Hole affair. They are entirely quiet now, and have been. In fact they would not say ‘Boo’ to a goose.” he general favors the annexing of the Jacksons Hole country to the Yellowstone National Park, as this action would solve the problem of preveating game being slanchtered by either whites or Indians. General Coppinger’s report has not yet been made public, and he declines to say whether he has recommended the continu- ance of troops in Jacksons Hole or pun- ishment of those who participated in the killing of the Indians, which brought about the troubies in thit section.

Y., Sept. 3.— The attendance was very small here to-day, not more than 1000 persons putting in an appearance. The track was in good condi- tion and the day was grand for racing pur- poses.

Distributors of the Mail In Cities Would Like to Prepare for Old Age. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 3.~The sixth annual convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers was formally opened in the Bourse building this morn- ing. The convention wascalled to order at 10 o'clock by President Cowden of Cleve- land. The committee on credentials reported a representation of 508 out of 528 votes in the convention. Delegate Atkinson offered a resolution requesting the committee on legislation to prepare a law for presentation to Congress providing for the increase of salaries of second-class carriers from $850 to $1000a year. Resolutions were also offered re- questing the legislation committee to pre- pare bills granting each letter carrier a certain sum each year for uniforms and the providing for lighter clothing in sum- mer. A delegate from Washington, D. C., offered a resoltition requesting the same committee to have the eight-hour law amended so that eight hours of labor should be performed indefinitely. Another resolution was presented on the same subject, limiting the time in which eight hours shall be performed to eleven consecutive hours. Two resolutions were offered providing for a pension fund. One stipulated thata pension bill on the assessment plan be adopted, and the other requested thata law be passed by Congress providing that one dollar per month shall be taken from the salary of each letter-carnier and paid into a fund. Out of this carriers of fifteen years’ service upon retiring are to receive $20 a month; twenty years’ service, $30 a month, and thirty years’ service, $40 a month. A petition was presented from Roches- ter asking that the next convention be held there. The Cigar-makers’ Union requested that the association indorse the blue label of the International Cigar-makers’ Union, but no action was taken on the matter. The committee appointed to secure the erection of a monument in honorof the late Hon, S. 8. Cox, the letter-carriers’ friend, reported that the monument now stands in Riverside Park, N. Y.

C., Sept. 3.—To- morrow at the naval ordnance proving grounds at Indian Head, Md., a ballistic plate representing the side armor of the new battle-ship Jowa will be subjected to a trial of its durability in such a manner as to show how 1t would fare if actually in position on the vessel. To this end a structure representing a section of the side of the Towa has been constructed, and to this the plate has been attached. The Naval Ordnance Bureau hopes to gain knowledge by the experiment as to whether or not additional resistance is given to a plate through itsattachmentto the flexible structure, representing as it does the ibility of a_ship’s side. With one ex- ception, in England, there is no record of a similar test by any country. The test will probably last two days. g Ruggles Back in Washington. WASHINGTON, D.

In this work are embodied the plain, candid truths relating to the development and recovery of mental, physical and sexual forces in young, middle- aged and old men. “Who lacks in one function while vigorous in all others is not as nature made him and must be renewed.” Weakness in the vital organs is unnatural in all men. It is due to improper care of the functions endowed by nature with perfect vigor, and since nature gives this strength, if it has been wasted, she must be called upon to renew it. Natural remedies must be used. Nothing bears a closer relation to the elements of sexual and nerve force than electricity. It is natural. It is nature embodied in a porta ble, convenient and effective appliance when Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt is used. If you iack in any respect the manly powers you should possess, send or call at once for this scientific book, which will spread before you the only true and permanent restoration of mental, physical and sexual manhood. It has thou- sands of testimonials, from every town and hamlet in the country. Address SANDEN ELECTRIC COMPANY, 632 Market Street, Opposite Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Cal.
