The Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany is not going to give up this fight, nor is the Pacific Transfer Company. The run- ners for the lattes will board the steamers of the company in the bay, and when the vessel gets alongside our men will be blocked in every direction and then the row will begin. Morton said that he intended making a fight on the steamers Columbia from Ore- gon, Umatilla from Puget Sound, St. Paul from southern ports and the Australia from Honolulu, all expected this morning. 1f he does there will be lively times on tue front for a few hours during the day.

Judge Campbell Explains to a Police- man How the Game Is Played. Three small bovs wno were arrested on Sunday by Policeman Maloney for shoot- ing craps appeared before Judge Campbe}l yesterday. After the officer had given bis testimony the Judge asked: ‘‘Are you sure the boys were shooting craps?” +0f course I am,” said Maloney. “How many dice were they using?"’ was the next question. “Four,” was the reply. “‘The cases are dismissed,” said the Judge, to the astonishment of Maloney. he left the witness-stand the Judge said kindly: *“I would advise you tostudy the game of craps before you make any more arrests. Only two dice are used in shooting craps.” FAIR'S LAUNCH LUCERO, After Mauy Vicissitudes She Finally Managed to Reach Port. Her Builders Say That All the Trouble Arose From Want of a Trial Trip. Charlie Fair's gasoline yacht Lucero, after many vicissitudes, arrived in port yvesterday. She made a pretty picture as she steamed up the bay. Captain Hughes moored her at Howard-street wharf.

I will describe him to you. He is five feet ten inches tall. His hair is black and straight. He ought to be a strong and vigorous man, If you had noted how he shuffled; if you had seem his limp shoulders; if you had perceived how he car- ried his head, you would have known him to be a man suffering from that which ‘unmans.’ Men walk about to-aay with dead nerves.

Williams, a lad 18 years of age, em- ployed as bookkecper by the California Neck- wear Company, was arrested last night for carrying concealed weapons. He was walking up Pine street from Kearny when a small 22-celiber pistol fell from his overcoat pocket and explodea. He was taken into custody by Ofticer Granwall, and at the jail it was found that the prisoner hed shot bimself in the fleshy part of bis right leg. Heexplainea that he was taking the weapou to e friezd who was going hunting to-day, end had thoughtiessly put the pistol into a pocket in his overcont which contained a hole. He was released on bail late in the evening, after his wounded leg had been dressed at the Receiving Hos- pital. Elks Will Be Gay To-Night.

The Lucero is 55 tons burden, and for a boat of her size has more cabin room than any vacht afloat. She is 100 feet long, 16 feet broad gnd 7 feet deep. She made the | run _from Astoria in 68 hours in spite of head winds. Captain Hughes says she is | a splendid sea boat, and can make her ten | knots on a consumption of 200 gallons of | zasoline every twenty-four hours. The | other officers are Charles E. Wilson, mate, | and William Barlow, encineer. % | Captain R. T. Engelbrecht of the firm | that built the vessel said: ‘‘She was be- | gun in June last and finished in August at a cost of $20,000. The engines were sup- plied by a San Francisco firm, and it was with them we had the trcuble off the Co- lumbia River. The engineer neglected to oil the bearings, which got into a bad con- dition and_stuck together. The Lucero was towed into port and repairs had to be made. Our stop at Port Townsend was due to the fact that the yacht was not | properly ballasted, and the one at Port Angeles to stress of weather. ‘‘After repairing at Portland we came on to San Francisco without a hitch, and 1 am now certain the Lucero will be a suc- cess. The storage-tanks have a capacity | of 36,000 gallons, so that there will always be a six months' supply aboard. “So far as I can learn Mr. Fair's new launch will be the iargest of her kind on the Pacific Coast, and I think the largest in the United States. I secured the econ- | tract because Mr. Fair liked the model and workmanship of the boat which I built in | Seattle and shipped to Dr. V. P. Buckley.” The Lucero is schooner rigged, so that in case of a breakdown fair headway will | be made under sail. The best of Wash- ington fir and costly Mexican woods have | been used. The skylights, railings and pilot-house are built of brazilite and are very handsome. The storage-tanks take up eight feet in length, so that there is ample cabin-room and accommodation for the crew. The captain’s quarters adjoin the pilot-house, and in the forecastle the men have a space | thirteen feet long. There are eight wire bunks in it which can be folded up during the day, thus leaving place for a mess- room. The engine-room is 12x14 feet and is bulkheaded from the forward and after parts of the l.;}.\nch. Attached to the engine is a six-horsepower dynamo, which will be used to run the electric-light plant. The. new yacht will be given a thorough overhauling and then Fair and his friends will go out on a trial trip around the bay. - NURSES TO GRADUATE. e Preparations for the Commencement of the San Francisco Training School. The San Francisco Training School for Nurses will graduate seven voung women on the 10th prox., always providing they are not ‘‘plucked” before the dredded ‘“‘exams” intervene. The_ examinations begin next week. They include the branches of surgical and medical work. The rank indicated by the marks received for ward work for two years will be taken into comsideration in awarding the diplomas. medals as well as diplomas are Mrs. E. A. Reed, Miss M. E. Mead, Miss F. Parry, Miss A. Gray, Miss H. Ryan, Miss J. Ran- son and Miss A. Wood. % The exercises of graduation will take vlace in the Occidental Hotel parlors. hMusdic will be provided by the Angel Island and. Next week’s examinetions will be con- ducted by Drs. Stillman, Von Hoffman and Kerr., e Small Blaze on Tenth. The alarm turned in from box 34 at 8:43 o’clock last evening was for a small blaze in a two-story frame dweiling at 312 Tenth street, owned by I, Schingeter. The furniture of . I Widman, Iiving in the flat below. 310 Tenth, was slightly damazed by weter. The entire’ loss was about $200, and was fully in- sured. The cause of the fire was unknown.

ARRESTED THE NIGHT BEFORE. 4 \ Charges Similar to Those Against Captain Lane Had Been Made Against Him. The suicide yesterday morning of Giu- seppe U. Riso, a barber and toydealer at 441 and 443 Broadway, was a sort of climax to the recent disclosures made of old men’s vices in the neighborhood of Tele- graph Hill. The list of arrests based on the accusa- tions of little girls grows longer and longer as the investigations of the wpolice pro- ceed, and Riso was one of three men who had just been added to it. Riso was 42 years of ege, single, and a native of Italy. Evidently Riso preferred fate by his own hand to lasting shame. While lying on Giuseppe U. Riso. his bed he sent a bullet from a revolver through his brain. Before the act of self- destruction he made a brief will, in which occurred the words: Jam the bad one and I take my life. Riso, Joseph Garcia and Manuel Gomez were arrested early Monday evening by Detective Byram and Policeman Rourke on the accusations of some liztle girls. The crimes charged were similar to those for which Captain Lane, Meyer, Ratz, Hinshaw and Pardini have been dragged into the police courts. Al! three men were barbers. Garcia's place is at 525 Pacific street, and shat of Gomez at 101 Mont- gomery avenue. Riso’s little toyshop was next door to and in the same building with his barber-shop. He lodged in a small sleeping-room in the rear of the store. The three little girls, whose stories of being lured into the places of the men caused the police to lock these men up, were Julia Christiansen, Eva Guinasso and Louisa Oliver. At the California-street po- lice station two of the prisoners were booked as having *‘procuréd indecent ex- hibitions,”” Gomez being charged witk. a still worse offense. Bail for the two was fixed at $250 each, that for Gomez being §500. Riso was soon at Jarge again. Agos- tine Noti, a fish-dealer, and a boy who worked for him in his barber-shop, named A.G. Rizzo, managed to scrape up some money, and, with the assistance of some other friends and what money Riso him- self had, they deposited the amount re- quired. Riso at once went to his home, and his employe, Rizzo, sat up with him until about 10:30 p. M. Rizzo says he did not appear to be in any other than a happy mood. When the boy returned to the shop yesterday morning, however, to open A am. % S Bt i wias lonfiare HApoaslomo ofo% dilln et ¢ Rt T =y S fio. azpedine Fac-Simile of the Will. it as usual he did not observe his em- ployer in the store adjoining, and he began to look around to see what was the matter. He found the man lying dead in his bed, with a 38-caliber revolver still clutched in his right hand. In his right temple there was a red hole from which the blood had flowed over the bedclothes. The gloomy little room had been very carefully put in order, and on the burean there was a goblet almost filled with liquor. There was a murky sediment in the bottom of the glass. 5 Policeman O., K. Knight was informed and word was sent to the Morgue. In searching the room Riso’s will was found. He had scribbled it in Italian on a Fipce of letter-paper. Atthe Morgue the following translation was made: November 26, 1895. MY WILL. 1 leave half of my shop to my godfather, Agostine Noti, the other half to A. G. Rizzo ‘that works for me, as being a good boy. Iam the bad one and take my life. PAY ATTENTION. These three girls are assassins. The *Agostine Noti” mentionea in the will as Riso’s godfather is a wholesale and retail fish-dealer at stall 37 in the Clay- street Mariket. 2 Julia Christiansen was the little girl on whose accusation in particular Riso had been placed under arrest. She has been a familiar figure of late -in the police courts. Neighbors in that vicinity have noticed that for some time little girls were in the habit of entering Riso’s store and remain- mfithere longer than was thought proper and the police were notified. The place was watched and one of ‘the girls 3 ulia, Christiansen) was caught. She confessed and Riso’s arrest followed. Attorney A. ‘Heynemann had been re- tained to defend Riso by his iriends, who were inclined to believe him innocent and a victim of blackmail. Mr. Heynemann thinks the man could not have been proven guilty. Itishis opinion that the act of self-destruction was prompted by the fear of the disgrace which would naturally follow so grave a charge. Police Judge Low dismissed the charge against Riso as soon as information of the suicide was officially communicated to him. The cases of Garcia and Gomez were continued until Saturday. NORTH BEACH BGmAL. The Cases Before Judge Low Have All Been . Postponed. Eugene Pardini is getting his nervous system in order in the Receiving Hospital, and the probability is that he will be sent back to the City Prison to-day. Dr. Werl, who has been closely studying him, says he is not mentally unbalanced, but simply suffering from overpressure of the nerves. His cases were called in Judge Low’s court yesterday morning and continued till Sat- urday. The charges against Fradk Emond. the organ-grinder, were to have been heard yesterday by Judge Low, but had to be postponed till to-day, as the Judge was called as a witness in the Superior Court. Mamuel Gomez, who was arrested on Monday night, appeared before Judge Low and his preliminary examination was set for December 3. He was out on $500 bail, but was ordered into_custody, and is now in the same cell with Lane, Ratz and Emond. G The case against Joseph Garcia was dis- missed, and the_same order was made in the case of G. U. Riso, who committed | suicide. % Judge Campbell had another case on his calendar yesterday against Leon Meyers, but it was continued till Saturday. PR MUSIC CONCOURSE Commissioners Resolve to Begin Work Thereon Without Delay. Addition to Museum Authorized—No One Chosen to Succeed J. D. Red- ding as Director of Music. The Board of Park Commissioners held a meeting yesterday at the residence of Commissioner Irving M. Scott. Commis- sioner Austin, who was seen at his home last evening, said the meeting was held in town at the request of Mr. Scott. A resolution was adopted at the meeting which gives the superintendeat power to appoint and discharge all park laborers. So many applications have been made to the Commissioners at their respective places of business during the busiest hours of the day that it was deemed best to refer all applications to Superintendent Mc- Laren. The board devoted a great deal of the time of yesterday’s session to the conslder- ation of bills contracted since the begin- ning of the present fiscal year. The bills favorably passed upon yesterday, together with the demands already approved by Auditor Broderick, amount to nearly $100,000, ana will exhaust the allowance of $25,000 a month for the months of July, August, September and October. It was the sense of the board expressed at the meeting that the work should com-, mence at once on the extension of the bicycle road to the ocean. The superin- tendent was also dirccted to proceed at once with the work of constructing the new music concourse. This new feature of the park will involve an outlay of $40,- 000. Asexplained in THE CaLL a few days ago a tunnel will be constructed under the main driveway to the concourse. The tunnel will go under the road at a point near where the park entrance to the Mid- winter Fair was established and will ac- commodate passengers arriving on car lines terminating north of the park. An- other tunnel will admit travel comun; from the deer-glen, buffalo-paddock an the birdcage. The earth displaced by the tunneling will be banked up to shelter the course from the westerly winds. A deal of leveling must be 1one and quite a quan- tity of debris of the fair removed in order to make the music concourse presentable. No action was taken at the meeting yes- terday on the subject of selecting Joseph D. Redding's snccessor. The Commis- sioners comprehend that it is not an easy task to find a man that possesses, as Mr. Redding does, a knowledge of music along with good business attainments. It will be the duty of Mr. Redding’s successor to coilect the subscriptions from the street railroad companies, to provide the new music (keeping posted on Eastern suc- cesses), t0 arrange programmes, pay the musicians and keep an account of all money received and an itemized statement of all disbursements. If the position car- ried with it a salary of $300 or $400 a month the board might be overwhelmed with applicants for the job, but as the compensation consists mainly of "such vublic applause as the concerts merit hunters for the place are not tumbling over one another in 2 rush to be engaged. The board, considering that $200,000 yet remains to be expended, decided to resume the important work of extending the bou- levard of the Great Highway. Means at hand may not be sufficient to extend the boulevard to_the county line, but another mile of the highway will be joined to the mile already constructed. The Great High- way commences at the foot of the Cliff House hill and runs facing the ocean a dis- wance of three miles to the county line. Some money will be expended in loam- ing the future forest of the park. est, which has been planted during the past ten years, comprises five hundred acres lying west of Twenty-fourth avenue. The Commissioners resolved to expend the sum of $10,000 in building an addition to the museum in the park. The new granite cottage in the park is roofed wich tiles. Itisa handsome build- ing, but its cost will appropriate §45,000. Some workmen were engaged there yester- day. Should the rains come inside work can go along without delay, as the struc- ture is now weather proof. There was a gang of workers yesterday engaged in thinning out the pine forest on North Ridge, a short distance west of the cottage. This forest is one of the oldest in the park. The men were equipped with saws and axes and seemed to be slashing away with a good deal of vigor. ——————— MINERS' ASSOCIATION. Executivo Session of the Executive Committee Held Last Night. A protracted executive session of the ex- ecutive committee of the California Miners’ Association was held in Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel last night. The committee went into session at 8 o’clock and carried on its discussions until 11:20 P. A1 The principal topic of discussion was the bill providing for the examination and classification of certain mineral lands in in the State of California. The discussion had reference only to certain clauses and sections of the bill. Amendments and various alterations were sufgeswd, but all were in the interest of the ultimate passage of the bill. (e There being some difference of opinion concerning the fifth and sixth sections of the bill, it was thought advisable to post- pone definite action thereon until a week irom to-day, in order to give the delegates and’members of the branch orgzanizations an opportunity of familiarizing themselves with the provisions of the measure in con- templation. The secretary, Julian Sonn- tag, was, therefore, instructed to call the meeting a week from to-night and inclose acopy of the bill in the notification sent to each member. Strong addresses were made by Messrs, Neff, Wright, Ford, McMu and Wall- ing. They sought to elucidate the pro- visions and purposes of the proposed measure and impress on the members of the committee the vital importance of pre- senting the bill before Congress in an ac- ceptable shape. Senator Ford and W. C. Ralston were appointed a committee to confer with ‘the The for- | Southern Pacific Company with a view to ascertaining whether the bill is agreeable to that corporation, and if so to solicit its co-operation. _There were two other bills, but so much time dwas taken up that they were not dis- cussed. e RETREAT AT ST. IGNATIUS. It Will Open on Next Sunday and Continue for One Week. A retreat will open at St. Ignatius Church next Sunday evening and continue one week. It will be under the auspices of the Gentlemen’s Sodality, and a novena to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to which the sodality is erected and under whose patronage the American Nation is dedicated. Each evening will open with rosary and sermon at 7:30, after which benediction of the blessed sacrament will be given. The large volunteer choir will be assisted by several juvenile voices. The center aisle will be reserved for members and their male friends, and all the other parts of the large church will be open to the public. The lectures will be most interesting. The following subjects will be discussed : Sunday--Father Leggio, S. J., introduction. Monday—Father Hickey, S. nd of Man.” Tuesda: Father Sardi, " Wednes- y Thursday— Friday—Very . E.
