The big ships roiled at their lines and the little craft bobbed and ducked frantically to the dance of the waves. The quarantine tug Governor Perkins was forced to leave her place at Fishermen’s wharf, and the tug Annie had her deck- house damaged. Yesterday morning the coal scows dis- charging alongside of the cruiser Philadel- phia got into trouble also. The Jennie and Edna parted her lines under the force of the wind and drifted up the bay with her load half discharged. | The scow Rough Ready broke away | from the cruiser, and in trying to get the foresail on the vessel it was blown com- | pletely away. The scow Colonel Baker | tried to discharge her coal, but was forced to seek the suelter of Main-street wharf, where her two predecessors were. | The Oriental and_Occidental steamship Oceznic was released yesterday from quar- antine and permitted to dock. Most of her steerage passengers have come ashore, a few Chinese passengers remaining on board the vessel. | The tug Reliance picked up the little | sloop-yacht Norma drifting at sea about ! twelve miles sonth of the heads.

The Ex-Governor Is Entertained at the Palace by Members of His 01d Staff. When ex-Governor Markham came down for dinner last evening at the Palace he found a surprise in store for him. The members of his staff residing here had in- vited a few of the ex-Governor’s old politi- cal friends to meet him at a dinner. There were present in the ladies’ grillroom, where the banquet was held, the following mem- bers of the staff: Colonel F. 8. Chad- bourne, who presided; Colonels W. D. Sanborn, J. E. Doolittle, J. F. Bergia, F. W. Sumner and J. S. Young. The guests invited were: Ix-Harbor Commissioner C, F. Bassett, Harbor Commissioner Dan T. Cole, Bank Commissioners Kiiburn and Fuller, General John F. Sheehan, Jus- tice W. C. Van Vleet, S. K. Thornton, W. ‘W. Montague, Jacob Neff and Edward Don- nelly. Although there were no speeches, a pleasant evening was spent by the ex- Governor and his old friends. CHARLEY FAIR'S YACHT, Reputed to Be the Finest Pri- vate Yacht Ever Built on the Coast. She Is Expected to Arrive In San Francisco Bay In a Very Short Time. Charley Fair's new gasoline yacht is about finished’ and very soon now will drop anchor in San Francisco Bay. True, Mr. Fair’s yacht is not one of magnificent proportions, but what it lacks in size is more than made up in the excellence of its workmanship, its elegance and its general convenzence. The yacht was designed ana built at Seattle, where she is now undergoing the finishing touches. The dimensions of the Lucero, as the new pleasure boat has been christened, are as follows: Length of 100 feet over all, with 87 feet on the water line; breadth 16 feet, depth 9 and a mean drait of 7feet when ready for sea. She is built of oak, with a deck of Oregon pine, and has an overhanging bow like the trans-Atlantic steamer City of Pans. The Lucero is schooner rigged. The main cabin is 12 feet in length, with four elegant staterooms, with lavatories attached to each. There are also four staterooms forward of the engine-room, with closet and messroom for the crew. Forward of this is a gasoline tank af 2000 gallons capacity, and ahead of this a store- room ana chain-locker. The interior finish is of brazalite, a Mexican hardwood, spe- cially designed and finished by Messrs. Rolph & Schroder. Two immense sky- lights and twenty deadlights on the outside afford plenty of light during the day, and at night incandescent electric lamps will be employed. The upper deck will also be lighted by electricity, and the signal and masthead lights will be furnished by the same power, with a_searchlight of 140 candle-power on the piiot-house. The pilot-house skylights and compan- ion ways are all made of brazalite, all polished to the highest degree. There will be two boats amidships—one a rowboat, and the other propelled by a four-horse- power gasoline engine, of the same style and patternas the vacht engine. The main engine is capable ‘of developing 129 horse- ower, which is expected to causethe 4 foot S.ineh’ flywheel to make 200 revolu- tions per minute. The bronze propeller has four blades, with a diameter of five CHARLEY FAIR’S CRUISING GASOLINE YACHT LUCERO. J.

Mor- | | rison, 218 Tweiith street, reported that on | | Friday night, between 7 and 9 o’clock, hur] | house had been entered and several valu- | able articles of jewelry stoien. She leit | [ the house at 7 o'clock to make a call, and ;when she returned shortly after 9 o’clock | she found thatevery room had been'visited | during her absence.

The Solid Eight of the Board of Super- | visors, in order to reward some of their friends and punish some of their enemies who would not bow down to them, have resolved on a number of changas in the offices of the new City Hall. Something like a score of heads may fall; if so, the game number of appointments will follow. The matter has béen under discussion for a week, but nothing definite has been determined on because no agreement has as yet been reached over the apportion- ment of the offices. Nothing, of course, can be done in the way of ousting the present sub-officials and clerks until the Elnces have been divided and men have een selected to fill them. The “ins” feel quite confident that no agreement can ever be reached, but the ‘“‘outs” are working their mightiest, just the same, for simply 2 chance to gain one of the coveted jobs. Just before the Board of Supervisors met last Monday, the whisper ran around the room that several of the Supervisors were about to drive an entering wedge to oust & number of municipal employes, but noth- The rumor is out again that the first swish of the ax will be heard at to-morrow'’s meeting. ARy A DEADLY BURGLAR TRAP. An Amador County Rancher Acci- dentally Kills His Mother-in-Law. Gotleib Merz was taken to the City Prison last night by Sheriff Gregory of Amador Coun The Sheriff is on’ his way to Sadl Quentin with Merz, who has been sentenced to eighteen months for manslaughter. Merz is & rancher in the Pioneer School District, Jackson, Amador County. He occupied a cabin on his ranch, and was annoyed by a thief who stole his blankets and anything else he could lay his hands upon. Merz set a trap for the thief. Every time he left the cabin he fixed aloaded shotgun at the door in the inside, and had a string attached to the trigger, so that when the door was obenedg the string would pull the trigger and discharge the un. = His 1wother-in-law, Mrs. Anna Stemer, happened to be at the cabin one day, and not knowing about the trap, she opened the door of the cabin during Merz’ ab- sence, and received thé zontents of the shotgun in the abdomen.

ONE WOMAN'S THOUSANDS. Mrs. Lowell Tells How She De- feated Mayor Sutro and the Southern Pacific. Mrs. Hagerty, who owns a house and lot on the corner of Sanchez and Liberty streets, instituted suit azainst the City last Wednesday for $1500 damages alleged to have been sustained by reason of the un- official grading of the Sanchez and Twenty- fire, though it cost me a good round sum of money. Later, the Southern Pacific coneluded that they would like to have & line on Sanchez street and they too undertook to reduce the gnde twenty leet. Just how I beat them I on’t care to say, butit suffices to say thatl did. Now these other fights are brought us and I am just as determined as ever to hol my own. ;hey will never reduce the grade so long as Ilive. Why, just Jook what my property would be if such a thing were done. "True, the streets in their present condition are impassable, but I invested my money under the assurance that the existing grade was official, and I propose to see that it remains so. What with the Suservl!oru, the Southern Pacific and other incidentals this fight has cost me thousands of dollars, and I don’t propose to lose it all now. ] am not prepared, or rather do not care to say just how this money was spent, but it was spent, and that is sufficient. SAVING THE SAILORS. What the Christlan Endeavorers Doing on Ships. The annual reunion of the Christian En- deavor-Floating Societies of California was held last night in the rooms of the Float- 1ng Society of West Oakland. The rooms were thronged with enthusiastic endeav- orers and sailors from the ships in port. After a praise service, led by Mr. Perry Are IS TTvwEVENTEEEY gUNET 3230.2 ) has RESIDENCE OF MRS. EMILY LOWELL, CORNER TWENTY-FIRSH AND SANCHEZ ~TREETS. [From a photograph.] first streets crossing. There are now pend- | ing against the City damage suits aggre- | gating $7500, all on account of the grading | running 200 feet each way on the last- named streets. So persistent has been the | warfare among the residents of that some- | what remote section that it has come to be better known as ‘‘Battle Mountain.” The original grade of the property in dispute | was 340 feet, but by resolution of the Board of Supervisors in 1887 was raised twenty feet. This hasin turn raised the grade be- | tween Twenty-first and Liberty streets and | between th> last-named thoroughfare and | Twentieth street. From the best evidence obtainable at the present time the cause of Mrs. Hag- erty, which is set for a hearing the first week in November, will be productive of many facts of interest to the public at large. The present grade on Twenty-first and Sanchez streets is particularly cham- pioned by Mrs. Emily Lowell, who, ac- cording to her own statement, has suec- cessfully defeated Mayor Sutro, then a private citizen, the Market-street Railway Company, and now holds the whip-hand over the other protesting property-holders. John H. Moore and Charles Lampe, who own property between Twenty-lirst and Liberty strects, openly affirm that Mrs. Lowell has used money with the last three Boards of Supervisors to retain Twenty- first street at its present grade. This charge or assumption, however, loses half its force and effect when the lady in question admits that it has cost her “thousands of dollars” to preserve her property in_its present shape. On the speak only in generalities, naturally refu ing to specify just where these thousands | had gone, “This fight among the property-holders of ‘Battle Mountain’ has been going on for years, and so far money represented in the | person of Mrs. Lowell has carried the day,” said J. H. Moore yesterday. “The g¢rade as it now stands damages our property | irreparably, and there are now suits against the City amounting to $7500. We have appealed to the last three Boards of Super- visors, and just as success appeared to crown our efforts this lady stepped in with her influence. *Ex-Supervisor Denman has made her fight all along, and I suppose will continue to do so until the couris decide the case. She has openly boasted that she has spent hundred of dollars and would continue to do so as long as there was any fight made aguinst the grade as it now stands. My property, as well as that of others, is actu- ally several feet below the street, which of most impossible. Two years ago the Board of Health condemned this district on account of this verv thing. We have been before the Street Committee at least twenty times, and all that we ever got was promises. The present Board of Super- visors, like those of the past, seem deter- roperty-holder owning 200 feet. “Supervisors Hughes, Dunker, Benjamin, Morganstern and Hirsch have all visited ‘Battle Mountain,’ carefully viewed the situation and promised faithfully to accede to our demands. The moment they get behind the doors of the committee-room this influence of Mrs. Lowell becomes so strong that they conclude to postpone action. I, for one, would be willing to join a committee similar to the one of "500 which in the middle fifties made San Fran- cisco worth living in. Of all the Supervis- ors we have ever had this board seems to me to be the very worst.” Charle Lampe, head salesman of Esberg, Bachman & Co., felt just as Mr. Moore about the matter, adding that be proposed to fight it to the bitter end. “Some months ago,” he added, ‘“‘the City and County Attorney rendered an opinion in effect that the present grade on Sanchez and Twenty-first streets was illegal. I shall certainly watch with interest the line of defense he will follow in the suits now pending against the city,”’ Mrs. Lowell, in stating her side of the case, said: I bought this property some four years ag under zie beuefx;nfl Ml{lrnnu that tyhee gr-fig now standing was official. Some time after this an effort was made to reduce the grade twenty feet, and the fight has been going on ever since. First Mr. Sutro wanted to build a cable line on Sanchez street, requiring, how- ever, that the grade reduced to its former level of 840 feet. On this occasion I used the Southern Pacific to pull my chestnuts from the of San Francisco, Mr. Eden, the superin- tendent of the Floating Society of the Golden Gate Union, gave a very Encourag- ing report of the work in San Francisco. He mentioned several cases where sailors had been saved during the past twelve months, showing that the work was pro- gressing better than ever. C. N. G. Hager of Alameda reported over 1000 sailors entertained during the past year. Services haye been held on shibs every Sunday morning, and nearly 100 new members have been received into the society. Other speakers and the social time that followed closed the pleasant evening's proceedings. ) DEFESE FOR DURRAT Belief Current That His Case Is Stronger Than Has Been Supposed. Defendant’s Attorneys Are Exceed- Ingly Cautious, but Are Just as Confldent. The Durrrnt trial has progressed to that stage at which public interest centers chiefly in conjecture as to what the line of defense will be. Those most firmly convinced of Dur- rant's guiltiness assert the belief that he has no case, but these are not joined by the general public in their belief. This fact is mainly due to the prominence of his legal representation and that of the de- tective who has directed the accumulation of his evidence. Comparatively few peo- ple are willing to believe that such attor- neys as Eugene Deuprey, General Dickin- son and Judge Thompson, and a detective of the standing of Harry Morse, would un- dertake an utterly hopeless case, but so careful have these guardians been of their client’s interests that only the slightest and most indefinite indications of what the line of defense will be have been al- lowed to be made public. The defense claims this exceeding cau- tion has been exercised for the veason that the characters of the two witnesses whose names they did expose were blackened with malicious disregard for the truth, and that it has been to protect their wit- nesses that the defense has declined to re- | veal anything concerning its case. Be that as it may, it is certain that the most scrupulous reticence has been main- tained by all persons interested in the de- fendant’s affairs. These facts have led | to the belief that the defense has a sur- prise in'store which will be sprung upon the public when Mr. Deuprey makes his opening statement, probably Weanesday. Gradually this belief has grown as the trial has proceeded, without any reliable hintas to the nature of the defendant’s case being dropped, until now the public stands surprised in advance and onl{ awaits the actual denouement in detail. Expectancy, therefore, will fill the air untii the middle of the week, by which time it is tolerably certain to be known whether the anticipation of a surprise calculated to roll back the cloud of evidence of Durrant’s guilt is well founded, or whether the prose- cution’s case is as overwhelming as it now appears. 'he attorneyson both sides took advant- age of the opportunity yesterday to geta rest and some fresn air, and were not vis- | ible at their offices during the day, but the detectives were not thus privileged. On both sides they worked as diligently as ever, running down rumors and perfecting details to strengthen their respective causes. e o On the Eastern War.

HOW EZETA WAS TRICKED, Two Forged Dispatches Upset the San Salvador Gov- ernment. TALE OF A TELEGRAPH POLE A Revelation That Made the Bluster- ing General Say Naughty Spanish Words. Friends of liberty as well as dealers in powder and shot are waiting anxiously to hear from General Ezeta, who has gomne south to overthrow the present San Sal- vador Government. The general, with his spick and span new uniform and assortment of swords, promises to make several alterations in the Central American map unless things come his way. Before sailing from this port he informed a friend in confidence that he felt satisfied that President Gutier- rez and his staff would retire as soon as they heard that he was marching that way. People here who know Gutierrez and know how he happened to be President think that Ezeta may not have exactly a trium- phal march. “Did you ever hear how Gutiérrez fooled Ezeta?” asked a friend of the latter, yes- terday. “It has a2lways been kept dead quiet, but as it may be Ezeta’s turn next it does no harm now to tell about it. *'It was after there had been several good fights between General Ezeta, then in com- mand of the legitimate San Salvador forces and the revolutionists. Ezeta’s brother, Car- los, was then President. In the fighting the Ezetas had everything pretty much their way, for they had about 11,000 men, a force vastly superior to that of the revolution- ists. “Gutierrez, with a hungry, weary squad of about twenty-five men, captured a tele- graph station one day and a bright thought seized him. General Ezeta was then some distance from the capital, where his brother held down the Government, Gutier- rez dictated two dispatches, one to General Antonio Ezeta, the other to the President, his brother. That to the general read: Antonio: Revolutionists have surprised us. Allis over. Fly. ‘CARLOS. “To President Ezeta the wily Gutierrez forged the following thriiling message: Carlos: Have met enemy and lost. No hope. Escape with your life. NTONIO. “Having had these messages ticked off the long-hcaded Gutierrez awaited devel- opments. Carriers soon brought him the news that both the Ezetas were in full re- treat. Gutierrez marched to the capital and took possession, while another de- tachment followed the general until he took refuge on the United States cruiser Bennington. ““It was not until General Ezeta reached San Francisco that he learned how he had been deceived, and then his remarks in Spanish would have shocked Sancho Panza.” COMMONWEALTH HOP-PICKERS. Mrs. Gordon Denies That There is Any Trouble in Camp. Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon, leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth hop- pickers at Pleasanton, denies that there is any serious trouble in the Commonwealth camp. She says that the society is hold- ing together and that all are satisfied with their experience in the hopyards. She de- nies the truth of the statements made by a number who were not satisfied with their dealings with her. They said that Mrs. Gordon “held out’’ a part of the money aue them on the grounds that they were owing her forboard. They denied that they owed her any money for board. Many stated that the food was poor in quality and scarce in quantity. These statements Mrs. Gor- don denies and she does claim that she was defrauded out of several hundred meals by people whom she trusted. She also de- nies all charges made by the disaffected hop-pickers that she failed to act in good faith and honestly with them. Mrs. Gor- don denounces Labor Commissioner Fitz- gerald for having made statements reflect- ing upon her management of the affairs of the Co-operative Commonweaith at Pleas- anton. WELL! WELL!
