STOCKTON STEAMERS DELAYED. The Steam Schooner Scotia Will Enter the Portland Rate War This Week. The schooner Western Home, which arrived from Coos Bay last Thursday night, had a very narrow escape as she was passing in. Toward dusk the wind fell light and the vessel drifted into the bight between the Cliff House and Fort Point. The captain let go one of his | anchors, but it would not hold. When | the schooner drifted into the breakers the kedge was let go, and luckily it caught in the rocky bottom. A few minutes later the tug Reliance showed up and Captain Silovich offered to tow the schooner toa | place of =afety. Theskipper of the Western Home wanted the job done for $25,but the captain of the tug wanted more. No agreement could be reached, and the | schooner’s crew dropped another anchor | and proceeded 1o warp the vessel out. A |slant of wind and the turn of the tide helped them, and after an heur’'s hard work they got the Western Home out of herdangerous predicament. Captain Silo- vich says he never saw a schooner have such a narrow escape. The steam schooner Alice Blanchard, that has been running in oppositi | the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com- pany’s stezmers to_Portland, is to have a dangerous rival. The steam schooner | Scotia is to be put on the route, and she | will sail on the same days as the Alice Blanchard. On her way up the coast she | will eall at Humboldt and Coos Bay, and ! the rates to all points will be cut. No one | seems to know who the agents of the | Scotia are, but merchants and shippers ‘who claim to be well informed say that the rate on freight to Portland will be cut | to 50 cents a ton. Passengers will be car- | ried at an equally low rate. | Some time ago it was rumored along the | front that the Southern Pacific was going |to put a steamer on the Portland route. | At the time J. C. Stubbs, speaking for the | corporation, said there was no truth in | the rumor, but now. it has been revived | agzain with the advent of the Scotia. | Tne schooner Zampa, from ma for | Guaymas, was comnenud to put into this | port yesterday. The patent screw by i which the rudder is worked broke and dis- | abled the vessel. A new one was putin place and the Zampa proceeded to sea. Tae Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s | Corona will be laid off for a trip and the | Mexico will take her place on the San | Diego run. The Corona requires some | slight repairs to her new system of forced draft. The same company’s Gipsy, after | fifteen years of continuous service, is to be | withdrawn after this trip. “Old perpetual mo tion,” as she is called, is a3 good and stanch a steamer as when new, but there is nothing for her to do_until the beet-sugar | factories are purchasing beets again. To | make up for the withdrawal of the Gipsy | the Coos Bay will make two tripsa weefi— leaving Tuesdays and Friday Work is ssing rapidly on the steamer Zealandia. When placed on the | drydock grass a foot long was found on her bottom, but not & barnacle. It was all aded off and left the hull without a ingle pit or mark on it. The sailing date | has been postponed to the 19th inst., and that of the Aztecto the 20th inst. All the Stockton river steamers were de- | layed eight hours yesterday, and it w: | 1230 p. . before they got to their docks. | The low state of the river and the heavy | fog was the cause of the delay. N THE LD CF To8 Another Department Added to An Extensive Dry Goods Business. | ng firm shall receive | Hale Bros. Secure More Store Room to Accommodate Their Increasing Patronage. Christmas is comi It did not need sleigh-bells and bolly-berries to appri | the people of this City of that fact yester- | day. If the crowds which thronged the | streets with mysterious bundles and charitable smiles did not betoken the | holiday season to the dullest observer the | scene about Hale Brothers’ toy depart- ment certainly shouid have done so. This department is a new departure for this firm, but they are evidently doing it in earnest while they are at it, for there are drums enough in evidence to drive to distraction all the neryous men in Christendom; there are whole colonies of dolls of everv race and nationality; there are mechanical toys that can do anything—éven talk—and, in fact, every- | thing that could possibly claim space on a Christmas-tree. | “The addition of a toy departmen | said Marshall Hale to a CALL reporter yes- terday, *‘was made possible by the acquisi- | tion of new storeroom. The space occu- pied by this department was previously | occupied by the Palm restaurant. The failure of that concern made it possible for us to enlarge our quarters, which were greatly inadequate. Our counters have daily been lined with customers. Many have been obliged to leave the store be- cause there was no room for them at the counters and _this state of affairs has been rapidly growing worse. Our business here has increased wonderfully during the three years of its business and it has been a great problem with us how to manage it within the confined limits.” Mr. Hale then escorted the reporter about the store. Every available inch was utilized. Tven the front part of the base- ment, where a good light was obtainable, ie utiiized. Here there are dolls by the hundreds. The books and much of the fancy goods are kept here. In the rear of the basement is the reserve stock. Tne amount of this is truly enormous. The entire space is filled to the ceiling with goods packed in the most compact form possible. [verywhere in the space not actually necessary for passage room are cases of goods. “The acquisition of this new space,”” con- tinued Mr. Hale, “gives us a frontage of 90 feet with a depth of 165 feet, and our numbers will now be 937-041-045 Market street, the last number representing the addition. We bave connected the new jroom with the main store by cutting through arches. “The toy department is merely to last during the holidays. About January 1 we will stock this room with a new line of dry goods. We may also handle cloaks, although this has not yet been decided upon. With our inereasing facilities we expect to be able to attend to the wishes of all customers.” : The enterprise displayed by this firm during an existence of 2 little over three years in this Uity is truly something re- markable. The local branch is the latest of the Hale Bros.’ five great stores, yet al- ready it is recognized as one of the leading houses of the City. Itis the expressed in- tention of the firm to make still further extensions as_opportunity permits, until the San Francisco house is the largest of therr stores. THE WHIST CONTEST. The Oakland Club Wins the Beautiful and Valuable Trophy Presented by N. D. Rideout. A keen interest was manifested yvester- day and last evening in the outcome of the Pacific Coast Whist Association’s tourna- ment at 326 Post street. [n the after- noon 100 ladies and gentlemen sat around the tables and in the evening 140 players passed the hours in a sociable card rivalry. There was a tie of 171 in the afternoon be- tween the teams of two of the S8an Fran- cisco clubs and the Petaluma club. The San Francisco Club was represented by J. Curtis and A. Moore and the Petaluma Club by Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Towne. Mrs.” Guptill and Mrs. Moore of the Eschscholtzia Club made 168 and with a handicap allowance of 3 made them 171. The highest team was composed of Mrs. Henry Krebs and Mrs. A. C. Taylor of the Trist Whist Club of San Francisco, who made 176, which broke the record. 3 The_ four clubs for the semi-finals were the San Francisco (gentlemen’s) Club, Oakland Whist Club, Saturday Night Club and the Tamalpais Club. The Oakiand Night clubs defeated the and Saturday M other two and the final contest took place | in the morning at the Trist clubrooms on Sutter and Mason streets. | ‘While the final was being contested the | other whist players, both local and visit- | ors, assembled at 326 Post street to the | number of 140, and played straight whist | for prizes until a late hour. Every half | hour the progress of the final game was | conveyed to the players by messencers,ard | great enthusiasm was manifest whenever a gain was made by one or che other side. | Over at the Trist clubrooms were about | a dozen people deeply absorbed inevery | card that fell to the table. ‘The personunel | of the Oakland Whist Club was E.

Young Briggs Positively Says They Will Be Married When Feb- ruary Comes. The Jarvie-Briggs-Meagher controversy, which was aired in Judge Angelotti’s court at San Rafael Friday morning, terminated as such cases gencrally do—happily for all parties concerned. After hurling defiance at the court Miss Jarvie beat a precipitous retreat, and before leaving San Rafael turned over to the irate guardian of young Briggs all the jewelry demanded. Miss Jarvie and her fiance, young Briggs, immediately returned to San Francisco. So lightly did they treat the exciting events of the day that they attended the Tivoli Theater at night, where it was er- roneously reported that the defiant young woman was engazed asa chorusgirl. It seems, according to the younglady’s state- ment, that she never appeared at the Tiy- oli in any capacity whatever, except asa spectator. She has, however, taken part in such spectacular plays as the ‘‘Black Crook.” ‘I'wo years ago the young people met for the first time at Gilroy Hot Springs. MISS STERLIE JARVIE. RALPH BRIGGS.

Carlos Montealegre was reported in an evening paper yesterday to bave sent a challenge to fight a duel to J. J. Jacobi of | the firm of Lachman & Jacobi, on account of a dispute over the sale of a lot of wine by the California Wine-Makers’ Corpora- tion to Mr. Jacobi's firm. It was said that aftera hot passage of | words between the two getlemen when they met for a settlement of the business, Mr. Moutealegre brooded over the matter | jor a while and then sent a challenge to | M. Jacobi, asking him to namea place, | time and weapons for wiping out the 1n- | jury which the writer declared had been | done him. 1t was stated that Mr. Jacobi sent a re- sponse in which he said that he would ac- cept the challenge providing the jmple- ments were confined to bottles of wine, | Mr. Montealegre to drink his wine, and he | to drink Mr. Montealegre’s. Mr. Montealegre says that he was as much surprised at the report as any one, and that he had never sent any challenge or thought of sending one. He could only surmise that some of his friends were hav- ing a joke at his expense. NORTH BEACH REPUBLICANS. The Lincoln Club Organized Under Auspicious Circumstances. A large gathering of Republicans of the Forty-fourth Assembly District took place Friday night at Wessell’s Hall, corner of Union and Powell streets, for the parpose of organizing a permanent club for the promotion of the principles of the Repub- lican party and the encouragement of fel- lowsh1p among its members. Upon the report of the chairman, Alex Campbell Jr., 1t was decided to organize at once, and, in memory and honor of the first Republican President of the United States, the name of ‘‘Lincoln Club” was given the new society. The following were elected permanent officers: President, Henry 8. Martin; vice-president, Charles Hynes; secretary, H. i’ Rea; treasurer, E. G. Kendall; sergeant-at-arms, George W. Faber., Organization committee—Alex Camp- bell Jr., Dr. W. G. Shankey, J.J. Gleason, Frederick L. Jones, Louis Strohl, L. P. Zocchi. The club will establish its own quarters, and before the 1st of January, will be in- stalled in its own clubhonse, consisting of an assembly hall, parlors and reception rooms, in a central part of the North Beach district. At the meeting 100 members signed the roll and twenty-seven applica- tions were submitted to the investigating committee. THE HOWELL CASE. Business Men Testify as to the Charac- ter of the Accused. Several business men of Modesto snd Stockton were called by the Government in the Howell case yesterday in the United States District Court to testify as to| Howell’s character. | Among them were W. B. Wood, bank director; C. E. Marriott, Garrison Turner, president of the Grange Warehouse sys- tem; ex-Assessor J. W. Tullock, Assessor C. A. Post, Sheriff R. B. Purvis, Dr. N. B. Howard, Dr. J. G. Thompson, Grocer J. C. Semple; also J. J. Sloan, the agent of Wells, Fargo & Co. at Lathrop. Their tes- timony was against the defendant. Matt Jones was recalled a few minutes before adjournment for the day. . FEDERAL COURT CALENDAR.

We also have thou- sands of silver, metal, glass, celluloid and wood frames at prices to suit every one. Banborn, Vail & Co. » Briggs immediately formed a violent at- tachment for Miss Jarvie, which was, in a measure, reciprocated. A marriage could not take place, however, unless Frank Meagher, the guardian of Briggs, gave his consent. This he has positively refused to do, and has endeavored to keep them as much apart as possible. Briges, as an evidence of his sincerity for the youn: lady, opened a family treasure-box, then in the custody of his gnardian, and taking therefrom a watch valued at $400, and a diamond ring worth nearly as much. pre- sented them to the object of his affection. Meagher no sooner discovered this than he made a fermal demand on the young lady for the return of the jewelry. Miss Jarvie wonld not listen to such a proposi- tion, and as she lived in San Francisco there was nothing for Meagher to do but return to San Rafael. Then a happy thought oc- curred to the guardian, He would sue out a writ requiring Miss Jarvie to show cause why she should not return the property. The result of his determination was seen in Judge Angelotti’s court Friday morn- ing when Miss Jarvie, attired in a neat- fitting gown and looking as prim and as pretty as a picture, first hurled defiance at the court and then shed tears of vain anger. She told all sorts of stories about the jew- eiry and innocently enough Pcrjurcd her- self a dozen times or more. The upshot of all was that Miss Jarvie concluded it wiser to give up the jeweirv than to risk the chance of imprisonment. The little tilt between Guardian Meagher and Miss Jarvie has only tended to Guardian Frank P. Mcagher. [From a photograph.] strengthen the tie between the latter and young Briggs. That young gentleman an- nounces as a positive fact that they will be married as soon as_he becomes of age, which will be in_ February next. Miss Jarvie does not deny this, so the affair may be considered as settled. The father of the young woman said all this noto- riety would iuve been avoided if his ad- vice had been followed. He begged his daughter to return the 1mvelry, but she obstinately refused to follow hic wishes. He supposed the- young Eeopla would marry some day, but until Briggs was of age thers was no occasion to eugage in specuiation. Raloh Brif;gs is now a student at the Cooper Medical College and said that while at times he bad been rather wild had determined to quit all that and be- come an honor to his choser profession. He has two years more at the college, though he will not allow this to interfere with his marriage in February next. MISSION PARLOR SOCIAL. The ‘“One Time Entertainment Club’’ and Native Daughters Hold a High Jinks. The “One Time Entertainment Club” of the Mission gave a literary and musical social at Mission Parior on Seventeenth street, near Valencia, last evening. The following programme was rendered in the auditorium of the hall: Opening address, J. M. Black, M.

Palteughi, Fred Head; bass solo, Signor La Franchi; fancy dance, Miss Grogan. During the exercises a badge was pre- sented to Mr. Garrett by the F\rlor and a beautiful silk flag to Mission Parlor. The ladies of the Native Daughters’ order gave a high jinks in the banquet- Toom, where refreshments were served to :.lhe guests. The evening closed with a ance. e e——— YOUNG MEN'S LYCEUM. The Members Debate on the Necessity of Profit as an Incentive to Industry. The Young Men’s Christian Association Lyceum last evening debated the question: “Resolved, That it is practicable for the ef- forts of the producer to be directed solely toward supplying the demands of the con- sumer regardless of personal profit.” A. H. Sanborn led the argument for the af- firmative and J. F. Leicester championed the negative side of the question. A vote of the members was taken on the merits of the debate, and victory was awarded to the affirmative. After the decision a gen- eral discussion of the question was hmi FOR HOMELESS CHILOREN A Dainty Bazaar Presided Over | by Seven Diminutive Misses. Successful Consummation of a Gener- ous Idea Whereby Charity Will Reap a Benefit. Seven little maidens heard of the hun- dreds of motherless children for whom charitable people are trying to make a home and of the scores who cannot be cared for because of an absence of that very elusive commodity called mcney, and their hearts went out to the homeless waifs. They decided that there must be some way in which little girls could nelp, so they put their heads together and planned and planned. The result of their deliberations was one of the prettiest little bazaars imaginable. When the idea of having a fair to help the homeless orphans was broached by the little ladies to their mammas of course there was but one thing to do, and that was to give a ready assent and plenty of encour- | agement. Mrs. Adolph Son donated the basement of her commodious residence at | 2124 Broadway, and yesterday afternoon was the time determined upon for the fai: Yesterday morning the little ladies were | as busy as butterflies. Mrs. Son and Miss Son assisted with advice in the decora- tions, and as a result of taste, energy and an artistic arrangement of colored paper the rooms were transformed into a veri- table fairy bower. This effect was height- ened by the tliuinfi about in the subdued light of the dainty little misses. There was a smallad mission fee charged, but 1t was to_the booths mainly that the little ladies looked for proceeds. And in this they were not disappointed. The first booth to the left on entering the main room was occupied by Gertrude Joliffe, who dispensed lemonade from behind a gaily decorated counter. Mabel Hoge and Florence Cole sold fancy-work from a dainty-little bower draped with red. The candy booth was decorated in yellow and gold, and here Helen Son and Vesta Shortridge dealt in sweetmeats, to the edification of their young patrons, and tne substantial ben- etit of charity. Blanche Son and Rosebud Hecht had charge of the tov booth, which was covered with a pink canony. The patrons of the bazaar commenced to arrive shortly after 1 o’clock and the rooms were well crowded nntil about 4. Most of the visitors were little ones, who patronized the booths right liberally, but there were many older people who dropped in during the afternoon to gaze on the pretty scene and sample the wares on sale. As a result of the fair quite a substantial sum was realized, which will be donated to the Nursery for Homeless Children. Scared by Her Screams He Es- capes Through a Pantry Window. PARRISH RESIDENCE ENTERED. Daring Attempt to Plunder a House on Pierce Street in the Early Morning. The residence of Ellis H. Parrish of the Goodyear Rubber Company was entered yesterday morning by a burglar, who man- try window. Mr. Parrish and wife occupy the lower flat at 703 Pierce street, near Mec- Allister. The upper flat is occupied by M. D. Stein, the superintendent of the Mar- ket-street Railroad Company. About 4 o’clock yesterday morning Mr. Stein was awakened by a vigorous pound. |ing on the rear door of his home. On opening the door he was confronted by the servant gir! employed by the Parrisoes. She was in a highly excited state and trembling with fear. After some difficulty, she told Mr. Stein that a burglar was rob- bing the house below, and that she had fled upstairs to get away from him. Mr. Stein immediately went downstairs, where he met Mr. and Mrs. Parrish, who had been awakened by the neise and con- fusion. On inspection it was found that the man had gained an entrance through the pantry window by cutting away the wire screen. After carefully doing this the man reached inside and took each dish down separately and laid it upon the walk. After getiing the dishes out of the way he crawled inside, and, opening the door lead- ing mnto the kitchen, groped his way in the | darkness, He had apparently put his hand into some sticky substance, for the | walls showed his dirty fingermarks ina | great meny places asif he was feeling his way around. Coming to a door he opened it and went | mmside, closing it aiter him. It proved to be the servant's room, and she was awak- ened by him. She immediately commenced screaming, |and the man, finding that he was di i covered, turned about and started to make | his_escape. He dashed outof the room and back into the puntry, locking the door behind him and crawling through the window by which he had entered and made good his escape. her screamiug and ran to the door leading into the ball. Finding it lockea she rushed out the back way and up the stairs to_the flat occupied by Mr. Stein. Mr. Parrish, having been awakened by the noise, came rushing out and heard the man as he rattled the §isues in his hasty flight through the pantry window. After lighting the electric lights and go- | ing over the house to see if the burglar | had taken anything he went out on the front porch. A policeman noticing the | commotion came up and questioned the | girl, who said that she was_ positive that she could identify the man if she ever set | eyes on him again. He wore a slouch hat and a shabby dark suit, and held a dark- | lantern in his hand. The policeman said | that he had noticed a man answering that | description hanging about the streets in that vicinity. Mr. Parrish made a thorough inspec- ion of the house, but could see that the A BURGLAR AND A GIRL aged to make his escave through the pan- | The girl kept up | | man had taken nothing. A number of broken dishes is all that remains to tell of the midnight visitor. WOULD SHELL THE CITY. An Intoxicated English Nobleman Who Lost Money on an Actress Makes Dire Threats. San Francisco's stock of foreign nobility has been strengthened in the person of a son of an English marquis. The name of this foreign nobleman, as far as could be ascertained last night, trusting to a police-station docket as authority, was N. Feldman, but that he was an Englishman there could be no doubt from the accent which enveloped his speech. Feldman arrived in this City from New Orleans last Thursday and after a day’s rest started out to see the town, i finally winding up 1n a Kearny-street re- sort. He made the acquaintance of Miss Eva Starr, a_variety actress, and spent | money lavishly upon her. In the course of a few hours Feldman had spent about $50 ana was laboring under a severe attack of alcobolism, so he | took a wise view of things and went to | bed. But when he woke up yesterday morning he discsvered that he was minus | & gold watch, valued at $200, and a purse which he alleges contained about $100 in coin and a few trinkets. A warrant was immediately sworn out | by the noblemax, and the young actress | with whom he had been in company was | placed under arrest and lodged in the Cali- | fornia-street station. | In making his departure from the sta- | tion Feldman turned haughtily to the po- lice sergeant at the desk. +If you bloomin’ boobies don’t give me satisfaction out of this case I will report it to the captain of a British man-of-war, which will soon arrive in this harbor,” said he. “And when he finds out that I am telling the truth he will shell this ’ere bloomin’ City and blow it off the bloody earth.” He was immediately informed that if he did not make a hasty exit he would be placed in the cell next to bis lady friend on a ciarge of “‘drunk.”’ He took the advice and made his depart- ure without waitiufi_to take surveys of San i i Francisco for a shelling. |REPUBLICANS BANQUET. After a Business Session the Forty- Third District Club Meets Round the Festal Board. | The meeting of the Korty-third District Republican Club, held last night at the Parker House, corner of Stockton and | Geary streets, was largely attended. Over a hundred new members signed the ciub roll. As advertised at the meeting last | Saturday evening a collation was served in the Parker House caie, which lasted until early this morning. A number of toasts were proposed and responded to by many prominent Repub- licans. The club Euued a resolution ordering a canvass to be made of the district so that tbe entire Republican vote should be polled at the next primary to the end that the best interests of the party be properly rep- resented and none but the best citizens | elected as delegates to the next convention | from this district. The club is negotiating for perma- nent headquarters to be used during | the ensuing campaign, and it is the | earnest desire of the ofticers of the club to | have a full meeting next Saturday even- | ing at the Parker House, when the ques- | tion will be thoroughly debated, “Who is the best and most available Republican | candidate for President in 1896?" ——————— i Public’ Library Trustee. | _J.D.Phelan has been clected a trustee of the | Free Public Library of San Francisco in the | place of the late C.
