It scems that West, assisted by two brother actors, committed burfilary at their boaraing place in Bakersfield, hence the warrant for their arrest. The crime is alleged to have taken place about two weeks ago. Sterling Ironsides, the well-known vender of racetrack programimes, who was injured by falling down an elevator-shaft on Wednesday last, died at the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning. ironsides had gone to a printing- office on First street to get his nightly supply of programmes, and it is supposed that while standing before the unguarded entrance to the elevator he was taken with a fit, falling to the ground below. When discovered the elevator was resting on his body. It was thought at the time thet he would ‘survive his injuries. to attempt to dissuade a’local firm from. | | him. ALONG THE WATER FRONT, Fears Now Entertained for the Safety of the Steamer Evandale. UNDERWRITERS REINSURING. Captain Fulton of the British Ship Ancaios Wanted on a Charge of Battery. The underwriters are getting afraid of the British tramp steamer Evandale. She is now out twenty-nine days from San Francisco for Yokohama and 30 per cent reinsurance is being paid on her. The gamblers are jumping at the offer and the chances are that no advance in the rate will be made for several days. When the Occidental and Oriental Company’s steamer Belgic went ashore near Yoko- bama several months age the Evandale was chartered to take her place. On the occasiun of her first trip she took twenty- two days and fears were then entertained for' her safety. She turnea up all right, however, and took away on November 8 last one of the largest and most valuable cargoes that ever left San Francisco. Counting in the coin and bullion it came very near to the million-dollar limit. The were: barrels flour, 27,660 069 pounds beans, 3125 30 galions whale ces apples, 667 pounds dried frui cases canned goods, 508 bo Ions wine, 9000 pounds ric To Japan—1 our, 804,667 pounds cotton, 246 rolls leather, 3249 pounds currants, 1914 gallons wine, 103 cases canned goods, 60 boxes raisins, 930 pounds codfish. a3 To Vladivostock—4791 pounds dried fruit, 145 cases canned goods, 14 cases salmon, 300 boxes herrings. Before sailing the Evandale was fitted up for Chinese passengers, and nearly 300 went away on her. Thesteamer is nowabout a week overdue and the marine insurance agents are worried, hence the rush to re- insure. At the office of the Occidental and Oriental Company they will not admit that there is any danger, and point to the fact that she is a very slow vessel. They admit that she is overdue, but say that she has probaply met with head winus and that she will arrive all right. . There was an epidemic of broken shafts t Thursday and F' amer Sonoma broke hers and had to be towed to her dock. She was replaced by the Alvira, which ran for a few months between San Francisco and Oakland in the Davie Ferry. Yesterday her shaft also broke and the California Transportation Company is now looking for a stern-wheeler to fill her place. Shortly after the Alvira broke down the steamer Hope followed suit. She was just entering her slip on this side when the accident happened and there w: little delay. She was not wholly disabled and was able to make another run with only one engine while tne repairs were being made. John Stuart, a sailor on the British ship Ancaios, sworn_out a warrant for the arrest of Captain Fulton. He says the latter was brutal in the extreme and clubbed the men on the slightest provoca- tion. When the Ancaibs arrived in port Stuart demanded his pay and the captain refused to pay him. Tuesday night the sailor_deserted, and vesterday when he met Fulton again demanded his money. Instead of 1 ipper assaulted An attempt was made to_serve the warrant upon Capt. Fulton yesterday, but he was not aboard. He will be arrested o-day. His bail has been fixed at $150 cash. . - The following telegram was received at the Merchants’ Exchange last night from Departure Bay: ing up the December 6. To Whoin It May Concern: T will not be re- sponsible for any charter made by H. A. Thompson, late managing owner of the bark MeNear. CAPTALN J. PEDERSON, Controlling owner of the bark McNear. At the present time the McNear is load- ing coal at Departure Bay for R. D. Chan- dler and the cause of Captain Pederson’s telegram will not be known until his re- turn. Captain Thompson has been man- aging owner of a number of vessels, but somehow or another he never seems to be able to get along witn the masters. The bark Albert is taking on board a very miscellaneous cargo for Honolulu. Part of her deckload will be 660 pigs and the crew had a most exciting time getting aboard. Among the passengers will ur stranded Hawaiians who are being sent home by the Consul. They left Hawaii on a whaling cruise and on_their return to San Francisco were paid off with a dollar as the season had been a failurc. Another addition to the Park Museum arrived in port a few days ago. Captain Kennedy of the steamer Alice that plies on the Yukon River sent down a pair of mastodon tusks similar to the ones now on exnibition in the Academy of Science. The tusks were consigned to G. Fogel and he will forward them to Superintendent McLaren next Monday. There are three Captain Lewises in port and one is constantly being confounded with the other. Thereis Captain Lewis of the British ship Senator, Captain Lewis of the British bark Invercoe and Captain Lewis of the British ship Angles two latter have been guizzed by ev. y on the front for having been stood up the otler night by footpads, while the master of the Anglesey has been worried half to death by sporting men who want to match a fighting cook that he is supposed to have on board. Allthree are jolly good fellows and they take the joking in good part. Scott & McCord’s hay barn that was burned down a couple of weeks ago is radually being cleared. The hay is being oaded into scows, which carry it out into mid stream and dump it. The troubles on the revenue cuiter Bear seem to be without end. Lieutenants Dan- iels, Dorey and White have been held up as the principal accusers of Capain Healy, but the fact is that Lieuterants Ross and McConnell and Chief Engineer Swart were the prime instigators of the mov ment. The crew evidently believein their late commander, as the following com- munication will show: i To the Editors of the San_ Francisco Daily Papers — GENTLEM We, the undersigned, members of the crew of the United States sleamer Bear, having read in the columns of your paper an article reflecting on the abiiity and courtesy of the captain, M.

His wife, Josephine, is the complaining witness, and she had a charge of battery placed against him. The pris- oner was formerly a member of the tirm of Ryan & Candy, contractors, and at one time the latter partner was arrested for winning Mrs. Ryan’s affections. He was sent to jail, and when he got out the woman ran_away with him. Ryan went to Victoria, B. C., and when he came back the other day ke says he found bhis wife and Candy living ‘as man and wife at 114 Welsh street. He attempted to secure his five-year-old son and a row ensued which resulted in thearrest. Theaboveis Ryan’s story. His wife says she will tell hers in court. A Mother Sues Her Son. Mary Brophy is suing her son, John Brophy, for $25 & month as maintenance. The plaintiff alleges that she is old and decrepit and has been supported by her daughter, Mary Orr, and by her grandson for some time, while her own son has refused to assist her although he is earning $90 & month in the Fire Department. THE BLYTHE BLOCK. Exterior Elovation of the New Build- ing Submitted to Eastern Capi- talists for Approval. W. H. H. Hart, attorney for Florence Blythe Hinckley, has forwarded to the per- sons in the East who are to advance the necessary funds an exterior elevation of the new building to be known as the Blythe block. So far there is nothing very definite determined in regard to the structure. General Hart stated.yesterday that it would cover the entire property owned by the Blythe estate in the block bounded by Geary, Kearny, Market and O’Farrell streets and Grant avenue. Of this block all but three pieces belong to the estate. One of these, occupied by the City of Paris block, is leased by the estate. Of the other two one is at the jurction of Kearny and Market and the other fronts about 25 feet on Geary near the small al- ley known as Brooks street. General Hart was very reticent concern- ing the characteristics of the proposed building, saying it would depend largely upon the suggestions offered by the parties who are to forward the money necessary for the enterprise. It has not yet been definitely settled how high the building will be, as the ordinance in regard to the heights of buildines constricts their option in the matter. General Hart does not an- ticipate receiving a definite answer from the Eastern financiers until about Feb- ruary 1, when the plans will be determined upon and made public. DEATH OFCAPTIN KELLY The Well-Known Whaler Had an Adventurous and Ex- citing Career. by the Mohican Is Now Pending. News reached this City yesterday of the death of one of the best known whalers in the United States. Captain Edmund E. Kelly died at his home in Binghamton of paralysis, aged 59 vears. The last time he was in San Francisco was when he brought the whaling schooner Jane Gray in from the Arctic after a very exciting cruise. She was chased and seized by the United States steamer Mohican and on that occa- sion Captain Johnson of the warship be- haved in such an unofficerlike manner that when a complaint was made to Wash- ington he was dismissed from the service. On another oceas ion Captain Kelly’s craft was chased by the gunboat Yorktown, but as nothing contraband was found on board he was released. When Captain Kelly got back to San Francisco he filed a claim against the United States for $50,000, which claim Bruce, Bowne & Co., the successors of Wright, Bowne & Co., who owned the schooner, are now pushing. The claim is based upon the manner in which the skip- per was treated by Captain Johnson and the loss entailed by being ordered out of Bering Sea. B Japtain Kelly's father served on the old { Constitution, and the son was born on June 3, 1836. At the age of 17 he went out as boat-steerer on the old bark Reindeer, and when she was at Honolulu he and his | brother got left behind. He chartered the | Richmond, however, and made a success of her, returning home with a full ship. In 1865 he went out in the President, and gain bad a successful season, the profits 1 the three voyages being $165.000. In 1869 he went to the Arctic in the Seneca. His vessel was one of the thirty- nine nipped in the ice, but out of the 1200 | men wi.o formed the crews not one was | a o lost. Afterward he was in the bark Eliz fi ar and the Thomas Pope for a year. w he was in the Lucretia, his next command, the men mutiried. Captain Kelly drew his pistol and ordered them to | turnto. They refused, and the leader of the men snapped a revolver at the skipper. Kelly shot him dead and that ended the = )1 he was wrecked in the Eliza on St. Lawrence Island, and during the tramp to civilization one-half the men were so badly frostbitten that their arms and legs had to be amputated. When his brother died Captain Kelly took the Jane Gray, and his famous cruise in Bering sea was his last. GUESS HOW MANY TACKS Raphael’s Little Plan for Giving Away Fifty Christmas Presents. You go into Raphael’s and make a pur- chase and receive a guessing blank. Then ¥you look at a box of tacks, guess the num- ber contained in the box, write your num- ber on the blank and return it. If you guess the right number or the nearest to it of any of the thousands of competitors, Raphael will give you $50 in cash for ristmas money. If your guess is the ond nearest to the number your Christ- mas gift from Raphael.will be $25 in cash. But if you are not lucky enough to secure either of these prizes, you will have another chance. The forty-cight persons | who are nearest in their guessing to the second prize taker will each get a coaster. These coasters are handsome wagons with brakes, stoutly made, and probably the most acceptable line of Christmas presents that can be given to healthy and cheerful boys and girls who enjoy outdoor sport. San Francisco’s bills were placed here for the special accommodation of the youths and the tots that you may see any day in the vear, when it doesn’t rain, coasting on just the sort of coasters that Raphael pro- poses to give away. This guessing contest is a novel method | of giving away Christmas presents, but Raphael wouldn’t be on earth if he were not as full of novelty as that box is full of tacks. The big storeis full of novelties in clothing, and that is the business that Ra- phael is principally engaged in. The box of tacks is merely an incidental, acquired temporarily for the purpose of making Christmas " enjoyable to Raphael’s thou- sands of customers. H It is an easy matter to count the tacks in | anumber of boxes, strike an average and | there you are. It doesn’t cost you any- thing to try, for you get your money’s| worth in the goods you buy and stand a | chance of jingling extra gold in your ! Christmas pockets or becoming the pos- sessor of a new coaster. ———— Stillwell Case Transferred. The case of Detective C. J.

Albert Dibblee, for more than forty years a prominent merchant of San Francisco, died at his home in Ross Valley yesterday morning. Mr. Dibblee was 75 years of age, and had been an active man in mer- cantile circies until twoand a half years ago, when he retired from the presidency of the Giant Powder Company. He had prepared to spend the remainder of his competency that he had acquired. His health in these latter years was not the best, and the death of his brother recently | added to his suffering until the end. Mr. Dibblee came to California in 1853, and for a while tried mining. *He soon dis- covered, however, that the surest road to freight vesse! plying between this City and Eureka. Since its destruction Kalish & Co. have been without a vessel and the one to be erected will probably be similar to the Humboldt. SKIM MILK NOT WANTED. Milkmen Who Are in Favor of the Suppression of That Com- modity. The Milk Can and Bottle Recovery Asso- ciation held a called meeting yesterday afternoon for the purpose of enlightening certain members with regard to the course of action in the past pursued by the com- mittee of three that,were appointed to confer with the Board of Health for the suppression of the sale of skim milk. The committee consisted of L. A. Hay- wards, A. L. Stone and J. Vermeil. The dissatisfied members believe that after the sale of skim milk was abolished on November 1 the committee again inter- viewed the board, asking them to arrange for its sale, with the understanding that it be sold only on wagons especially for that purpose. 2 ) This the members representing the side organization known as the Milkmen’s As- | sociation say would form a monopoly, because in such a case only those who owned several wagons and carried on an | extensive business could afford anything days quietly with his family, enjoying the | of that kind. The committee members explain that they had no finger at all in the change put in motion by the board, but that the board had been advised by its lawyers that it had no legal right to suppress the sale of skim milk if the skim milk was labeled as such. The entire association and every mem- i} 1] THE LATE ALBERT DIBBLEE, PIONEER MERCHANT.

Twenty-two years ago he became inter- ested in the Giant Powder Company, and remained actively with that enterprise nearly twenty years. Asits president he gave evidence of great executive and busi- ness ability, and to his careful manage- ment the success of the company was mainly due. In his accumulations he reached out into the State, being interested with his brother in large lan holdings. Deceased was of a quiet and retiring na- ture, possessed an amiable disposition and a liberal mind, and was loved by his fam- ily and respecied by all who knew him. | He was a native of Massachusetts, but a thorough Californian, taking a guiet in- terest in all the affairs of State, though never engaging in public or official mat- ters personally. He was married late in life, and leaves a widow, two daughters and a son. [T WAS NOT DELIVERED,, Why Felix Tracey Could Not Recover on a Promissory Note. Wilmerding's Gift Invalid Because It Was Not Placed in Tracey’s Hands. Judge Hunt has.rendered an interesting opinion in the suit of Felix Tracey against William Alvord and the executors and legatees of the will of J. C. Wilmerding, who died March 3. 1895. On July 30, 1891, Wilmerding executed a promissory note for $10,000, payable sixty days after date, in favor of Tracey. This note he placed in an envelope and directed it as follows: “This envelope and papers inclosed belong to Felix Tracey, and to be delivered to Iiim upon his de- mand. San Francisco, July 30, 1891.”" The envelope was directed to “Felix Tracey Esq., Sacramento,” The envelope also contained this letter of the same date: Inclosed you will find my note for $10,000, which I wish vou to retain in the case of your failure to collect the legacy for that amount left you by my will, but if you do collect the legacy, then the proceeds of this note I wish divided between yovr daughter and your brother Edward’s two daughters. I leave this entirely to your honor, as 1 will not put these names in my will. 1did not care to have t00 many names appear there. Your affectionate cousin, J. C. WILMERDING. This letter Wilmerding had deposited in his box at the California Bank. After Wilmerding'’s death the executors notified Tracy of the envelepe and its con- tents, but they refused to deliver posses- sion on the ground that the envelope had never actually been delivered to Tracey. In this contention the court found favor, and judgment against the plaintiff was rendered. In giving judgment the court says: That a moral obligation exists ugon the leg- atees to execute the purpose of the deceased seems clear. Through the generosity of the deceased these legatees were the recipients of Fr[nce!,v amounts. Under these eircumstances t mifm well be claimed that they are under a moral obligation to carry out a gift which has iniled only in consequence of the failure of the deceased to execute his purpose in the mode prescribed by law. But an obligation of this character. binding only on the conscience of the legatees, 1s one which the court is pow- erless to enforce. - TO REPLACE THE HUMBOLDT. Kalish & Co.

Orchestral Concert With Thirty-five Musicians To-Morrow Evening. Ovide Musin and his accompanying , in connection with the great array | of thirty-five of this City’s best musicians, | | born, Vail & Co. - will appear at the Baldwin Theater to- morrow (Sunday) night in what will be the grandest orchestral concert ever lis- tened to here. Musin has arranged a programme far above sanything in this Ovide Musin City. Each member of his company will appear to the very best advantage. Annie Louise Musin’s performances en- title her to a position in the first rank of distinguished artists. The New York Herald says: Annie Louise Musin displayed a voice of uncom- mon range and flexibility in the well- known arie from *Die Zauber-Flote.” She sent forth the staccati extending from above the staff to I with ease, precision and an excellent quality of tone. In “The Bird Merchant,” one of the numbers which she is to render at the concert to-morrow evening, she displays the wonderful range from G below the staff to E above high C.

Expense Spared on the Eastern Team. The Butte football team, which is coming here in about two weeks to have another try at the Reliance eleven, has determined to become the representative powerful gridiron aggregation of the West, for it in- tends to go Bast next year with the avowed purpose of defeating Yale and Princeton. No effort is being spared by the men of that mountain town of Montana to secure the very best football material available. From nearly every team that Butte has met this season it has drawn the best men to strengthen its own. The Denver eleven furnished Bohn, a fairly good end rush, ana Harzel, an exceptionally powerful and effective line bucker. The Multnomah Club of Portland gave up its star player, Laswell, who is a phenomenal line bucker ana dashing ground gainer. And from the Reliance team Butte has succeeded in capturing George McMilian, who was not only the best player, but was the captain of the Oakland Athletic Club eleven. The Butte men tried very hard to induce Theurkauf and Captain Smith of the Olym- pics to remain with them after the two re- cent victories the Montana boys scored against the San Krancisco clubmen on a gridiron whitened not by fine yard lines, but completely covered with four inchesof snow. When the Butte team shall come to this State it hopes to have even more star ma- terial added. It promises to appear here with the right guard, the center rush and, perhaps, the quarterback of this year's University of Michigan Varsity. Three games, so far, have been arranged by the Montana giants. The first will be Keliance-Butte, on December 21; the sec- ond, Olympic-Butte, on Christmas day, both at Central Park, in this City; and the third, according to the Butte men, will be University of California-Butte, at Los An- geles, on New Year’s day. As a preliminary to these games the Reliance and Olympic elevens will play at Central Park on December 14, the gate re- ceipts to o to charity. Oune of the Olympic players, just re- turned from Montana, speaking of the Butte team said: The town of Butte is football crazy. [he people are determined to collect all the West- ern stars and get & team that will overpower Yale and Prfucelnn next year. They are backed financially by a man named Clark, who seems to have money to burn when it comes to football. The Montana eleven are pretty good indi- vidual plays but they lack team work. Mec- Millan, however, will soon give them the nec- essery instruction for that. They play hard every minute of the game, but they are not fast players yet. That fault can aiso be over- come. With ‘very few exceptions the men tackle high. o far they know absolutely nothing of a kicking game. Their great weight, their strong, rigid line and their fast end running backs are the points wherein the Butte eleven £re more than a match for any other team in the Far West. A team to defeat them must put np a good punting game and play 1ast. There is little use in bucking their big line. Just think of it —the eleven weigh 2100 pounds, and thatis fully 200 pounds heavier than any eleven ever turied out by either of the universities. They consider Gillis, the right halfback, their star. Heis a very fast runner, and when the line holds and makes it possible for him once to clear the end he is good for the whole field in front of him. Laswell, who plays fuliback, 1 consider to be the superior of Gillis. Laswell and @larzell are a remarkable pair of line- smashers; both of them are better at that style of game than is big Felton Taylor of the Reliance team. The Butte enthusiasts promise to bring $50,- 000 to San Francisco to bet on their team. They are all true sports up there. In the first half of our last game the betting was about as much on our team ason the home team. In the second half $1000 was lost on a bet that we wouldn’t score. It was an experience of a lifetime for our team—the hospitable treatment we received. The people cannot do enough for a football player. Inside of two hours aiter one of our players was hurt in the game eighty people, by actual count, eame around to inquire how he was, and some of them bronght poultices and bandages and offered their servines. They told us to order anytning that was hecessary and that Clark would pay for it. Strangely enough the Butte colors are the same as the Olympic colors, red and white. Won’t Meet the Butte Team. BERKELEY, Dec. 6.—The football team bad a meeting this afternoon at which it was decided not to meet the Butte team when they come to San Francisco durin, Christmas week. It was further decide to make the proposed trip to Southern Californiaduring the holidays if the proper financial arrangements could be perfected. SAVILLE CHARGED AGAIN. Mrs. Bell’s Accomplished Ex-Manager to Answer for Another Forgery. A second charge of forgery was placed against Bayard Saville last night by De- tective Ross Whittaker. In this case Wakelee & Co., the Montgomery-street druggists, were the sufferers. Mr. Saville went to their store on No- vember 4 with a check for $50, signed by Mrs. Theresa Bell. He was known to them as the manager of Mrs. Bell's exten- sive Napa County properties and they did not hesitate to give him the money. The druggists learned a few days later that Mrs. Bell had no account in the bank on which the check was drawn, and the re- turn of the check-to her brought out the fact that it was a forgery. At the time he cashed the check Saville left a valise full of underclothige at Wake- lee & Co.’s. This valise, it has since been learned, was stolen from Mrs. Bell. Saville has a long record as a confidence operator and forger. He has served a term in San Quentin, and only a few days ago was arrested for passing a forged check for $50 upon the secretary of the Sutter-street Railway Company, NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS, GOLDEN GATE HALL.
