THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1895 11 FRUST FOR HOME TALENT, LY SOUTHERNERS WERE HE VICTORIOUS ONES YESTERDAY. HAD PLENTY OF GOOD BALL. Briry HULEN Was INVULNERABLE TO BoTH CoLp WEATHER AND BARNES’ TWIRLERS. A thousand or more spectators at Central Park erday saw some pretty and effective work done on the diamond, but it was under such conditions that their fasm was not aroused. The San iscos were defeated, the score stand- 2 11 to 5. The members of the San Francisco Club are more susceptible to falling temperature than are the boys of the sunny South. The crisp air of the afternoon penetrated their dark blouses and rendered their muscles less quick to strike, to throw or to run. ly Hulen, however, is thoroughly ac- ted; his powerful arm sent ball after ling out over the head of McHale in to lose itself in that unknown region Mission street crosses Eighth.

Hulen struck to the fence on right, and trotting around the bases, easily scdred a home run. Lally followed with a single to McQuaid in left. Frank struck a single and Werrick hit to Hickey at third, forging Frank at second. Straus and Sweeney, in quick succession, flew to Cantiliion at first, who ran clear to the pitcher’s box in catching Sweeney’s low fly. g McQuaid, in the last half of the first, in stealing to second, went on his back, feet first, under Pete Sweeney, and was safe.

S8AN JOSE, Car., Oct. 23.—The third game of the winter series of baseball was played here to-day, and the home team ae- feated Oakland by a score of 6 t0 0. The feature of the game was the magniticent work of the 8an Joses in the field. Pitcher Retger was a mystery to the Oakland men, vhile the locals touched up Jones’' de- livery -in lively style, and by bunching their hits in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings succeeded in getting six men across tne plate. The visitors were some- what unfortunate and had seven men left on bases. game, and but one mistake marred the ore of the Qakland team. Following is score: AD. B BN P.0. A E.

EAGAN CONVICTED. A Jury Verdict in the Case of the Twenty-Ninth District Election Officers. Joseph Eagan, election inspector of the welfth Precinct of the Twenty-ninth As- sembly District, was convicted in Judge Bahrs’ court yesterday of falsifyine the election returns. The jury gave a recom- mendation of mercy and Judge Bahrs will sentence the prisoner next Saturday. It is expected that the others who were made cefendants with Bagan will be dis- missed. The charge against Eagan was that he had revised the tally sheets to credit M. C. Haley, candidate for County Clerk, with sixty-three votes when ninety-one votes were cast for him, as the recount disclosed. Eagan was indicted with James J. Bagge- ley, Joseph Flannigan, Andrew Remling- ler, M. Coleman ana David L. Roach, the other officers in the precinct. These others gave testimony for the State, however, in the Eagan case, and ac- cording to the terms of the ‘;umy of elec- tion law they cannot be tried THE POULTNEY MILLIONS, A CORPORATION TO BE FORMED TO CARRY ON THE LITI- GATION PROMINENT ATTORNEYS OF THIS Crty AND NEW YORK HAVE THE Ca A thoroughly organized effortis to be made to secure the Sir William Poultney millions, mated, the estate is considered to be worth in coin and land at least $32,000,000. A portion of the estate is in England and several millions in land are located in New York, Vermont and Virginia. Josiah Poultney, the direct though not the sole surviving heir, as at first stated by his friends, has given his case into the charge of W. A. Richardson, a prominent attorney of this City. Mr. Richardson will conduct the case in connection with the well-known and prominent firm of Hummell & Howe of New York and George E. Duncan, 195 Broadway, of the same city. Ex-Attorney-General Hart had charge of the case for some time, but the Blythe estate prevented his giving it the attention it deserved. The matter has now been taken up with renewed vigor, and a corpo- ration, it is said, will be formed with an abundance of capital to carry on the neces- sary litigation, Some of those interested in the estate in New York have claimed that it aggregated $75,000,000. Josiah Poultney, who is bringing the it, is the grandson of William Poultney, 1 of Bath (obit July 7, 1764), to whose memory & monument was erected in Westminster Abbey by his brother, the Hon. Harry Poultney, general of his Ma- jesty’s forces, 1767. During his hfetime Sir Villiam Poultney owned large estates in ddlesex, England, and also acquired a = Slitiach St Virginia. He also owned a township in Vermont, the central settlement of which was named after him | —Poultney Town. In Rochester, N. Y., he bought 160 acres of land for 10 cents an | acre. Rochester is at present one of the | most prosperous and wealthy cities in the | Empire State, and the land bought for 10 |cents an acre has long since been multi- | plied to the millic [~ The estatesin S Mi tland are not estimated by the heir at law in his statement. The 0,000 acres in Steuben and Genessee couuties, New York State, were acquired at the rate of 10 cents aq acre, | Henrietta Laura Jobnston, widow of Sir William Poultney, died intestate about 1805 or 1806, leaving only Rebecca Ward The latter died in 1809 leav- ing no decedents. Prior to her death it is | asserted she went to the West Indies with | Bir Charles Williamson to claim some | property which Sir William Poultney was possessed of there. She, it is claimed, died of poisoning at the instance of William- son. And so goes the story. There are any- wheres between thirty and seventy-five millions of property and coin waiting for some claimant in this country and Eng- land and Josiah Poultney says he is the man. Others think as he does and will back their opinions with money incident to the formation of a corporation to carry on the litigation. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

The badly decomposed body of a man was fonnd on the bluffs in the rear of the Sutro Baths yesterday by Henry Martin, who re- ported the matter at the Morgue. The cloth- ing on the body led the Coroner’s deputies to believe that the man was a workingman, though mnothing was found to indicate his identity. Dr. Barrett, the autopsy physician, is of the opinion that he must have "died of polson or from natural causes, as there were no weapons found near the body or any marks of violence on it.

AN UNDERTAKING FOR BRINGING GREAT VIRTUOSI TO THIS Crity. The old rooms of the San Francisco Verein. over the Sutter-street Market, are about to be transformed into a magnifi- cently appointed concert-hall, dining-hall and suites of apartments where chamber- concerts of high-class music can be given. The rooms, which cover nearly a quarter of the block bounded by Sutter street and Grant avenue, have fallen out of repair since the verein acquired property of its own and moved to its magnificent club- house on Post street. Artisans are already at work on the building, and itis expected that by the tirst of January all the projected altera- tions will have been completed. The for- mal opening will take place early in the year with a grand classical concert, the proceeds of which will be devoted to charity. General Theodore Reichert is managing the enterprise, assisted by W. H. Davis. The proverty, which is part of the Phelan estate, belongs to Mrs. Frank J. Sullivan, and it isshe who is having the changes made, but Reichert and Davis, who have charge of the undertaking, are acting also for several wealthy capitalists, whe wish to see the old quarters of the verein be- come a musical center where concerts of a high order mnay be given and which may in time become the nucleus of & conserva- tory. In fact, the promoters etate, it is not so much to utilize the building as to foster musie that the changes are to be mode. In the first place it is belieyed thata large central hall downtown is needed. The old Verein Theater, over the market, at present is capable of seating 630 people, but side galleries of iron are to be added, which will bring the seating capabilities of the house up to at least 1000. This theater will be entirely redecorated in an elegant manner and will be fitted up with scenery, though it is onlyintended to use it for con- certs and amateur dramatic periormances. The theater may also be used as a ball- room, the floor being well adapted for that | purpose. The banquet-hall, which is forty feet by sixty-eight, will also be redecorated, and with the adjoining kitchen will be fitted with all accommodations for holding pub- lic banguets there. The large suite of apartments facing Sutter street wili be fitted up as reception- | rooms, to be used in connection with the theater, or for chamber concerts. Contracts have salready been made for Washington. This is accomplished by their advertising in the interior and Puget Sound papers that thete is a scarcity of carlnenteru in San Francisco. Many carpenters from those places have come to this City and are now walking the streets looking for work. Several cases of extrenue hardship have been reported in consequence of this deception, as several carpenters who have been thus deceived have been obliged to pawn and sell their tools, and are now penniless. Their families who remained at home are destitute, ST LECTURE ON EVOLUTION. Professor Hudson’s Talk Before the Channing Auxiliary, Professor W. H. Hudson, associate in- structor of English literature at the Stan- ford University, is preparing a treat for scientifically inclined San Franciscans in his lecture before and for the benefit of the Channing Auxiliary on Saturday evening next. Professor Hudson is said by those who have heard him talk to be a ‘most enter- taining lecturer, even when his subject carries him into the lower depths of ‘sci- ence, because of his splendid command of the language, and also on account of the deep study he has made of science. He was, previous to coming to this coast, pri- vate secretary to Herbert Spencer, the great author, and wrote the introduction to many of Spencer’s works. His subject for Saturday evening will be “Evolution of the Moral Sanction,” givin the scientific version of the origin of £00 and evil, THE QBERON S ROBBED SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS IS QUIETLY TAKEN FROM THE SAFE. JAMES VANDERVICH, A PORTER, PracED UNDER ARREST ON SUSPICION. E. A. Fischer, proprietor of the Oberon, a saloon and restaurant on O'Farrell street, near Stockton, mourns the loss of $700 in coin, and one of his porters, James Vandervich, is in jail. The latter event was caused by the first, and both occurred sinee 4:30 o’clock Monday morning. At that hour Charles Rebman, a brother- in-law of Mr. Fischer, locked the $700 np in the safe. He was to return about 8 o’clock, and therefore did not set the com- bination of the safe, but turned the knob only enough to lock it, as was his custom. He left two rorters in the saloon. One of them, Frank Eilers, was sweeping and cleaning_the main Toom; the other, J. Vandervich, was working behind the bar, a gosuiou that gave him free access to the office. When Rebman returned to the saloon the two prrties were still there. A little later the butcher came and Rebman went to the safe for some money. t as he had left it, but on opening the money-drawers he found them all empty. Vandervich was arrested on suspicion. eight arc lights to be placed along the | sidewalk outside the building. | The place has been taken on a five years’ | lease, and if fashionable San Francisco shows its willingness to attend the con- | certs that will be given high-class musical | attractions will be imported from the | East. It is not intended to pander to any | | craving that the public may cherish for | | the soothing strains of light and popular | music. The concert-hall will be sacred to | the works of such masters as Bach, | Beethoven, Wagner, Weber, etc., and if a song of the people finds its way by chance into the building it will be such a folk- song as a classic master would not scorn to utilize for a theme. The promoters of the undertaking in- tend to use the theater for orchestral con- certs, which will be given under their own management. They will also open a musi- cal agency to facilitate bringing attractions from the East. W. H. Dayis stated yester- day that in this connection a conservatory would probably be established. General | Reichert added: “The gentlemen who are with us in this musical scheme are wealthy capitalists and I can state that no money will be lacking to make it a suc- cess.” ELECTED THEIR OFFICERS, ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. MaNy DoLLARS SUBSCRIBED To- WARD ITS INDEBTEDNESS. FaLL STUDIES. A special meeting of the incorporators of the Young Men’s Christian Association was held at the building Monday evening. Thomas Magee was elected a member of the board of directors, J. C. Coleman and C. R. Bishop members of the incorporators. Bishop was also elected a member of the board of trustees, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Ira P. Rankin. The meeting was one of the largest which has been held in connection with the asso- ciation for many months. It was reported that $50,000 had been pledged in the past six weeks for cancellation of the indebted- ness on the building, and the past year has been one of unprecedented success in con- nection with the work. The educational departments were fairly organized for the present season, and a special course in commercial law and uni- versity extension will be begun within the next few weeks. To increase the membership it was unanimously voted by the directors and trustees to offer young men, members, prizes for securing new members. Those who_ bring in thirty new members are to receive a life membership in the associa- tion, for twenty new members a four gears’ membership, for fifteen new mem- ers a three years’ membership, for ten new members a two years’ membership, and for two new members a one year's membership. This offer is to be good from November 1 to February 1. The only entertainment course by East- ern talent in the City this season will be given by the association, the opening con- cert to take place Thursday evening, No- vember 7, when the Ladies’ Artist Trio of New York will appear. THE UNION CARPENTERS. Three Dollars Day the Minimum Rate of Wages. For several weeks past the Carpenters and Joiners’ unions have been considering the advisability of making a rule estab- lishing a regularrate of wages for union carpenters. Ata meeting of the district counsel of the carpenters and joiners last evening a resolution was passea fixing $3 a day for the minimum rate, This rate will go into effect November 1; and all union carpenters will have to abide by the decision. The members of the district council have completed all their arrangements for the second erand ball of the carpenters and joiners underthe auspices of the council, he ball will be held Saturday evening, N'ove:nber 16, in the Temple, 115 Turk street, The members of the district council com- vlain against the action of certain jobbers and contractors who are endeavoring to injure the unions by flooding the city with carpenters from the interior, Oregon and He says that only one person entered the place during Rebman’s absence. This, he said, was the scavenger, who came while he (Vandervich) was out. Eilers says the scavenger went in and out again imme- diately. The dishwasher of the establish- ment thirew additional suspicion on Van- dervich by saying that as he came into the place he passed a man going out who looked like Vandervich’s brother. “Thers is another circumstance that is eonsidered to i i the arrested party,” said Mr. Fischer last night. “Tt is that he was familiar with the habits of Mr. Rebman and knew that the combina- tion was not set. Besides this, the mone: consisted of $300 in silver and $400 in gold, which wasin the drawers. It would have been impossible for one man to carry this money away in the gorke!s of his clothes, and even if he could he would have un- doubtedly attracted the attention of the porter while getting it out of the safe drawers.” No trace of the money has been found. Other arrests may ensue. CYCLING MELANGE. Doings of the Clabs and Outings That Are Planned for Next Sunday. The Camera Club Cyclists will visit the estate of the late Mrs. Kate Johnson, Sonoma, leaving on the 8 A. . Tiburon boat. The riders will take the train to Schellviile and ride from tnere, over good, level roads, a distance of about seven miles. Non-riders wili continue on the train to Buena Vista, where there will be a large wagon to take them to the place. In this way the cameras can be sent by those intending to ride. There are numerous places to visit at various distances from the estate, as El Verano, the Gundlach and Dressler vineyards, etc., where the cameraites will be' made welcome. The outing should be a very enjoyable one. The San Francisco Road Club will have a run next Sunday to Petaluma. The Lib- erty Cycling Club will have a blind run the same day, and the Garden City Cyclers will riae up from San Jose, and have a jointrun_to the park with the Imperial Cycling Club. The membersof the California Cyclin Club are_actively trajning for their roa: race on November 3. P. G. Alexander wiil ride from scratch, and if he in any =ort of condition should come very close to the reg}or?, Lynngreen of the Verein Eintracht Cycling Club, who was severely injured while riding his wheel in San Rliuela fortnight ago, is about once more, and hopes soon to be able to be on the road again. A After a careful investigation the protest of the California Cycling Club against the awarding to McDougall of the Acme Club of first place in the recent ten-mile road race of the Associated Clubs has been overruled. Harry F. Terrill, the class A racer of the Bay City Wheelmen, will race at Tampa, Jacksounville and St. Augustine, Fia., the first of next week. The Bay City Wheelmen are making great preparations for their vaudeville en- tertainment on Monday ey g, Novem- ber 11. A ladies’ night will held the first week in November. 1he club isar- ranging a reception to be tendered the Eastern racing men and their own riders, Terrill and Wells, who will arrive here the latter part of next week. They are now at Denver, E. Languetin will try for the coast five- mile record Sunday, from San Leandro to Haywards, paced by tandems. P T The Granite-Cutters.

DISMASTED IN A HURRICANE. CAPTAIN WATTS THREW AN APPEAL FOQR AID OVERBOARD IN A BOTTLE. The big Spreckels tug Fearless started out last night for Guaymas. On arriving there she will take the British bark Sharp- shooter in tow and bring her to San Fran- cisco. The distance by sea is 1840 miles, and on her safe return the Fearless will have accomplished the longest tow ever made on the Pacific Coast. The Bharpshooter was caught in the hurricane that devastated La Paz and was dismasted. She drifted around under jury- masts for a time, and Captain Watts finally The Tug Fearless Starting on Her Long Voyage. wrote the following letter, and after put- ting it in a bottle threw it overboard: British bark Sharpshooter, belonging to Syd- ney, New South Wales (Australia), and from Junin, Chile, to San Francisco with nitrate. Sunday morning, August 11, in latitude 12.23 ‘norih, 106.47 west, during the windu of the hurricane that commenced on the 9t! inst. Since the 11th of August we have been drifting along under jury rig, making from three to thirty miles & day, north wind, trying to make port on the Mexicen coast if possible.

On September 18 we were off Mazatlan, but were driven 's"" that port with & strong south- west wind. Since then we have been trying to make Guaymas. When twenty miles north- west 0f YRLacio we were caught in a hurri- cane, and driven across the gulf to San Jose Island. Yesterday and to-day (6th of October) it is blowing & strong northwest wind, which is driving us along within four miles of Ildefonzo Island. Yesterday and to-day at noon Mangle near | Point bore west southwest seven miles. We are ail well on board and have only twenty days’ more provisions on the ship.

The bottle was picked up by four fisher- men off the shore from Loreto, and by them was sent to United States Consul James Viosco Jr.at La Paz. The latter informed the Consul at Guaymas, and he got the Mexican authorities to send out the steamer Oaxaca, which picked up the disabled ship and towed her in. The Consul also sent a copy of the letter to the Merchants’ Exchange here, urfiing that assistance be sent, and it arrived just as the Fearless was coaling at the Green- street wharf, It did not take Captain Hawley long to get the big tug ready as soon as the agents of the Sharpshooter said she was wanted. t was found impossible to make even temporary repairs at Guaymas, and Cap- tain Watt decided tocome to San Fran- cisco. The run will occupy about seven days, and provisions for a month were put aboard. There will be no difficulty in handiing the bark, and the Fearless will bring her back almost as quickly as she makes the run down. — WILL BE DECIED TO-DY MEETING TO ELECT A NEW SUPER- INTENDENT OF COMMON SCHOOLS. BoTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC DIRECTORS DIVIDED ON THE QUESTION. There will be a special meeting of the Board of Education to-day to fill the position of Superintendent of Common Bchools, made vacant by the death of A. Jy Moulder. The two leading candidates are Assistant Superintendent of Schools Madison Bab- cock and School Director Charles B. Stone. Ever since the contest began they have been rapidly forging ahead of their com- petitors, till now it is pretty well conceded that one of them will capture the place. Last Monday afternoon the Republican directors of the board caucused at Di- rector Dodge’s office. Present were Direc- tors H. L. Dodge, C. B. Stone, H. C. Henderson, Andrew McEiroy and C. A.

Neither Babcock nor Stone developed sufficient strength at the caucus to insure an election by Republican votes alone, so the matter went over to the contest in open board meeting. Charles S. i‘oun is entered in the con- test on the score ofhis being the nominee for the place on the Republican ticket at the last election. Moulder, the Demo- cratic candidate, defeated him. The Republican members will ga into the meeting to-day utfiledged by anything that occurred at onday afternoon’s caucus, This leaves an open, free field for all the candidates, as the most strenuous efforts were without avail at that time to commit the caucus on a majority vote. It is expected that the question wiil be decided to-day on the third ballot, the first ballot exhausting the complimentary Yyote and the second ballot developing the tugging strength of the leaders in the contest. THE WATER FRONT. The Benjamin F. Packard Had a Stormy Passage—Other Items of Interest. ‘The American ship Benjamin F. Pack- ard arrived from Bwansea yesterday after & most tempestuous voyage. Toward the latter part of the run the water began to give out and the donkey-engine had to be brought into use in order to condense enough of the fluid to 2o around. Off Cape Horn the Packard encountered a suc- cession of gales that lasted fifteen days. The running gear froze on the blocks, and for forty-eight hours it was almost impos- sible to work the ship. Ice wasencoun- tered in great quantities, and on several occasions the crew thought their last hour had come. During the succession of storms the fore-topgallant mast, main-topgailant yard, upper foretopsail yard and lower maintopsail yard were carried away. No | one was injured, however, and Captain Allen says that “all is well that ends well.” The schooner Roy Somers, which went ashore on Vancouver* Island last week, was got off without assistance and has reached Port Townsend. Her stem, shoe and a few planks on the bottom were in- jured. Sheis leaking and will dock for repairs. he American ship William H.

WHAT STAMBULQFF WAS LIKE, A Lifelike Portrait of the Murdered Bulgarian. The present writer came to know him just a year ago, when he was sitting in his | house at Sofia, nursing hopes of vengeance amid the pangs of disappointment. As an- other writer sald of him, he was like a caged lion, but a lion who had been free five minutes before. He was constantly and always in a rage during the last years | of his life, and at times seemed to bless his vain of body in that it somewhat relieved his agony of mind. His were a curious head and face. The head was dome-shaped and bald at the top, and looked like a first cousin to the little silver Krupp bullets which stood upon his writing-table in the form of inkstands and letter-weights. A story hung by those bullets, if one might believe his enemies, for he wassaid to have taken big sums from the firm in return for orders for his army. But his head was dis- | tinetly bullet-like; the eyes were almost | concealed by deep black, bushy eyebrows, which crowded down over them as his g}l‘ln(‘e read the inmost sowl of his guest. is eyes were small and black, and of ex- traordinary piercing brilliance; his teeth sharp and pointed, but very white—in fact, very Tartar teeth, writes R. P. Mahaffy in the London Saturday Review. He spoke with his lips pursed up, ana when he talked looked rather as if he were whispering. His French was very hard to | understand, being interlarded with Bul~ garian words when he got excited; but then he would see your difficulty and iaughingly give the French equivalent. Rhis arms were extraordinarily muscular and seemed constantly about to burst his | coat sleeves; his whole figure was suggest- ive of violence and strength. Many people have said that he was per- sonally & coward, adducing the evidence of those "ever-present guards. But personal experience and the story of hix looking on and talking cheerfully” while his hands were being cut off give room for doubting this charge. He certainly was always pre- Fnred to fight for his life. A long Mann- icher leaned ominously against his desk, and there were other indications that the man who shot at him might get as good as he gave if he did not kill his game at the first shot. The weakest points in M. Stambuloff's character were brought out strongly by his conduct during the last year. He did not know how to take a backdown blow. It came snddenly aiter a long period of vic- | tories and suc; and he nursed his de- feat and disappointment in impotent rage and with reckless recriminations against his successors. The proof of a leader for the “Svoboda’ was on his table on the evening I met him, and when it appeared next day it was simply a mass of scur- rilous and vindictive abuse. Stambuloft had nothing to help him through those cruel days of disappointment. The blow was hard, indeed, to bear, and men who have in other spheres suddenly received such crushing blows, and feit their whole life and minfi paralyzed and vilely cast away, can sympathize even if tuey canuos excuse. His study and house were simple to a | fault and practical to ugliness. The bare walls and the comfortless chairs, the rooms sparsely decorated with half a dozen ill- placed “and tawdry ornaments, reminded one of the houses of Irish Catholic priests. Cigarettes were the only amenity; abund- ance of these, branded with his own name, of his own special tobacco. But the indi- viduality of the man submerged all these details. and while in his presence one could only watch him and listen to him with amazement, tempered at times by a kind of vague fear. Iie had sound sport- | ing instincts and was fond of sports of | many kinds—a fair shot, a good card- | player, but chiefly devoted to gambling | games, To see him and to talk with him | was an education and a discipline. The | remembrance of him will always be one of the deepest and most lasting impressions | of their lives to those who knew him. NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.
