THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1895. - e 1§ A WORSE MUDDLE Failure of an Attempt to Settle the Philadelphia Strike. MATTERS BADLY MIXED. Mediators Rather Prematurely Notified the Men to Return to Work. DEBS AND MBRIDE CALLED. These Labor Leaders Will Go to the Scene of Strife and Deliver Adadresses. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 21.—The ke situation isin a worse muddlethan ever from all appearances. At 1 o'clock this morning it was an- nounced that a proposition submitted to the Mayor by the Rev. Dr. Baker and George Griffith, representing the Christian I e, had been laid before Mr. Welsh cceded to by him on behalf of the | rion Traction Company. The proposi- | on is as follows: “If the men come back and return to t work and peace is restored the Union Traction management will cordially | and considerately receive any committee | from the ranks of its own employes, and | w respectiully and kindly bear their complaints and greivances that they may offer, and will remedy the same withinthe | range of fairness.” Dr. Baker and Mr. Griffith were assured | that proposition bad been accepted by Mr. Welsh. They immediately hu .ed to headquarters of the strikers and laid it be- fore tie executive committee of the strike board and the committee immediately ac- cepted "it. The committee thereupon started out in cabs to n v the men to re- port for duty this mor General Manager Beetem of the Union raction Company answered a telephone 1l at 1:30 o’clock and denied absolutely the Union Traction Company had L to any such understan th its former Semp He said that if the committee had d red the strike off it was because were beaten at every turn. The outcome of this singular complica- tion must be awaited this morning. CALEED TO PHILADELPHIA.

On those lines that the | traction company is operating to any ex- tent cars,were run on nearly scheaule | time. { Much of the excitement has died out on he sireets and crowds did not congregate | to-day as when the strike first started. Nevertheless, two particularly vicious a saults were made on cars on the Thi teenth and Fifteenth street lines. At Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue a car was compelled to siow up for a| freight train passing out the latter street. | The car was crowded with men and women and there was but one policeman on the platform. The momentary halt proved too much for the patience of the | crowd, and without warning a storm of | iron bolts, coal, slag and bricks were hurled at the car. At the first assault the terrified passen- gets threw themselves upon the floor of the car and during a lullin the fusilade made their escape to the street. One lady had her jaw broken by an iron nut. A man was severely hurt by flying zlass and the conductor was injured in the same | amated way. The conductor and the motorman de- serted the car and fled. The solitary po- licemar aboard the car rushed to the near- | est patrol-box and rang in a call,anda| patrol-wagon full of policemen were soon on the spot. The officers charged the crowd, clubbed it vigorously and dispersed 1t, making four or five arrests. 3 Exactly the same sort of an occurrence happened on Thireenth street above Wil- Jow. Here, strangely enough, the jaw of another woman was broken by the stone- throwers and several others were cut by flying glass. On Thirteenth street the windows of eight cars in all were wrecked before the police assumed control of the s.xuap’on. —_— DECLARES IT SPOKE TRULY. The Neio York Sun’s Answer in the Noyes Libel Suit. NEW YORK. N. Y., Dec. 20.—The an- swer in the libel suit of Frank B.

Passengers Assisted the Crew in Routing Robbers. MUNCIE, Ixp., Dec. 20.—A bold attempt to hold up southbound passenger train 43 on the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati and Louisville division of the Lake Erie and Western road was made after dark last evening north of Montpelier, in the oil- fietld. A passenger on the train who stopped here reported the matter. He states that the robbers boarded the train at Keystone and went through the coaches with pistols, ordering the passengers to stand up. Conductor Dockerman and Brakeman ‘Welsh attacked the thieves and the passen- gers then took a hand. A general fight was soon on and the robbers were driven from the train, but secured several over- coats and valises. . | The train consists of two day coaches and a combination baggage, express and mail car. The train dispatcher announces | that no attempt was made to bother the express-car. e WRECKAGE SEEN AT SEA. Supposed to Have Been From the Steamer Claribel. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 20.—The British bark Delpussund, which yesterday “ arrived from Santa Cruz, passed in latitude 37 degrees 22 minutes, longitude 72 degrees { 4 minutes, on December 15, 2 topsail yard | of a large vessel projecting from the water | and apparently attached to a sunken wreck. In the vicinity of the spar was a | quantity of timber, polished cabin fittings.| and a number of cork jackets. There is a possibility that this is the | wreckage of the Atlas line steamer Clari- | bel, which left Kingston on December 1 for | this port. She was spoken by the Pacific | Mail steamship Newport on Friday last off | the Carolina coast. The Claribel was dis- abled and took a line from the Newport. Later she cast it off and signaled *‘good- | by.” That was during a heavy gale. Sbe as not been heard from since. The Clari- | bel was commanded by Captain Cote. | She was of 880 tons register. WILLIAM ROBINSON DYIKG Many Little Ones Owe Their Existence in the World to His Genius. But the Inventor of the Baby Incu.| bator Failed to Secure a Patent. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 20.—William G. Robinson, the man to whom many lit- ho were born 1nto the world too soon owe their existence, is said to be dy- f consumption in Washington. In little tinshop at 315 East Twenty-sixth street several years ago the idea came to him that the incubator which had relieved hens of the burden of a sedentary occupa- tion could be applied to infants.

When he made his first incubator he had no idea there was money in it for him. But when the incubagor was adopted generally he began to think. Finally he decided to have it patented and reap his reward. He left for Washington a month ago and filed his applications in the Patent Office. As he was about to leave for New York he was seized with a violent fit of coughing. He was taken to the house cf his sister. The doctors said he bad consumpticn. Mrs. Robinson was called to his bedside two weeks ago, and yesterday she sent word to her mother that he could not sur- vive much longer. He was 30 years of age and had three children.

One thousand settlers have refused for five years to pay rents, which now amount to $1,000,000, hoping to acquire squatter claims if the Government won. Carlisle will collect the rents. This decision makes him the richest man in Alabama. EIR ) S COLLAPSE OF A FLOOR. Employes in a Store Buried in the Ruins. MINNEAPOLIS, M; , Dee. 20.— Shortly after noon to-day a large part of the second floor of the Palace clothing- house caved in. A large quantity of mer- chandise had been piled there and the floor proved unabie to stand the strain. An alarm was at once sent in and the fire department responded. As soon as the firemen arrived on the scene they be- gan removing the wreckage in a search for | those who might be buried underneath. Up to this time no bodies have been found. The body of Gale T.

VALLEJO'S DEFAULTER A Letter Received From Deputy Postmaster McEnerney. FLIGHT TO THE EAST. He Writes to His Mother of His Intention tg Begin Life Anew. REGRETS HIS PECULATIONS Neither Details of the Method Em- ployed nor the Amounts Stolen Are Given. VALLEJO, Caz., Dec. 20.—At last news has been received from the defaulting Deputy Postmaster, Charles L. McEner- ney, of this city, who disappesred on De- cember 13, taking with him $400 or $500 paid to him for money orders. McEner- ney had, the day before his fliht, been found some $180 short by Postal Inspector Irwin, but on promising to make this sum good both Irwin and Postmaster Roe con- sented to let the matter remain quiet. The next day at noon McEnerney left the office, ostensibly to go to dinner, but was not heard from afier. Suspicion being thus aroused, further investigation was made, and to date in the neighborhood of $500 has been found missing, and presum- ably an indefinite sum beyond this, which can be known only when persons to whom remittances were to have been sent are heard from. It was thought at first that McEnerney had killed himself, but sober reflection failed to give a motive for this, as all bis known stealings of $180 were made within a few days, and one for $200 on the very day of his disappearance. That he did not kitl himself proves to be the fact. He has gone East, doubtless having valuable and intelligent assistance in his plans. Aletterin McEnerney’s handwriting was received by Mrs. John McEnerney, the young man’s mother. It is evident that he started East almost immediately after his disappearance. The letter was for- warded by H. J. Barry, the postmaster at Reno, Nev., who says he received it under cover on December 17. In the missive Mc- Enerney expresses sorrow for his actions, and says he could not stay and “face the music.” He declares his purpose of mak- ing an honest record for himself else- where, and states that before the letter in question could be reed he would be in Chicago. McEnerney intimates, however, that that-city will not be his sttopping place. He acknowledges having changed the combination of the postoftice safe, but does not enter further into the details of | his actions. e CRUISE OF THE BOSTON. The Commerce-Destroyer Starts Upon a Two Days’ Trial Trip. VALLEJO, Car., Dec. 20.—The Boston left the navy-yard at 11 o’clock this morn- ing with the board of inspection, consist- ing of Chief Engineer George F. Kutz, | Commander B. H. McCalla, Lieutenant- Commander A. V. Wadhams and Naval | Constructor William J. Baxter on board The cruiser has gone to sea on a forty- eight hours’ trial trip, during which time its engines will be given a thorough test. Its guns will also be tested. Nothing can be learned regarding the Boston’s trial until its return, though all predict that everything will be found to | work in a satisfactory manner. Duringthe cruiser’s recent overhauling nothing was leit undone to make it as complete as possible. EXCITEMENT AT ARCATA Unknown Persons Cut Down the Union High School Flag Pole. Enemies of State Senator McGowan Endeavor to Prevent His Oration. EUREKA, CaL., Dec. 20.—The town of Arcata has been in a turmoil to-day over a dastardly act committed by unknown per- sons last night. The pupils of the Arcata Union High School had arranged a pro- gramme and flag-raising, and engaged State Senator Frank McGowan to deliver the oration. This morning it was discov- ered that the flagpole had been chopped to the ground in order to prevent the flag- raisjng. The citizens were greatly incensed, and members of the G. A. R. and others spliced up the pole and the programme was car- ried out as planned. Senator McGowan appeared and delivered a fine oration be- fore a larze crowd. It is believed the razinz of the flagpole was the work of enemies of Senator l?\_‘[,c- Gowan, as a protest had been made against his acting as orator of the day. The scholars of the high schoot voted unan- imously, in the face of the protest, in favor of McGowan. The midnight act has aroused the entire county. i G CARSON WAS STARTLED, “ The Call's” Expose of the Treasury Neancal Caused a Sensation. CARSON, Nev.,, Dec. 20.—To-day was spent arguing the Heney case. General Clarke will close for the Government to- morrow. The arrival of THE CALL in the city this morning, containing the full expose of the appearance of 80,000 newly minted dollars | in the State treasury, has created a pro- found sensation. It 1s the generally ex- pressed opinion that Tue CaLL wouid do well to send a representative up here, as it did in the Tacoma scandal, and probe it to the bottom. L MINE ACCIDENT NEAR GEM. Two Men in the Frisco Fatally Injured by an Explosion. SPOKANE, Wasn., Dec. 20.—Thomas Lewis accidentally exploded a box of per- cussion cags at the Frisco mine, near Gem, Idaho, to-day, fatally wounding Thomas Noonan and Frank Richardson and seriously injuring himself. Ail are miners. Noonan is president of the Min- ers’ Union at Gem. His eyesight was de- ztro'yed and he was otherwise frightfully urt. A S Important Ruling at Neattle. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 20.—The Su- preme Court, in the case of Knipe vs. Aus- tin, handed down a decision to-day, to the effect that a purchaser in redemption sale was entitled to rents during his posses- sion. The question involved was whether upon redemption of real estate sold under execution, the amount of rents and profits received by the purchaser should be crec- ited to the redemptioner, or whether such rents and profits belonged absolutely to the purchaser. GIFTIS TO FRESNOU’S NEEDY. B Splendid Christmas Donations Made by School Children. FRESNO, Carn., Dec. 20.—School chil- dren were taught a splendid object lesson in practical Christmas charity this morn- ing. A few days agoa movement was set on foot to have each child bring a stick of wood and one potato to school for distri- bution among the poor on Christmas. The teachers took hold of the mat- ter and fixed this morning as the time for the bringing of the articles. Kvery child brought something this morning, and some nade more than one trip. Many of the little tuts were strug- ghing along the streets quite overloaded with donations. Some of the children took armfuls of wood, some little wagons or wheelbarrows loaded with it, and some of the larger boys shouldered four-foot sticks of wood. Some children took canned food and some took potatoes, others clothing of one kind or another, until the schools’ contribu- tions amounted to something very sul stantial. In all about forty sacks of pota- toes and about twenty-five cords of wood, besides considerable clothing and other articles,were brought to the schools by the children. ————— YATTACKS A SAN DIEGO WILL. William EKoarke Wants a Share of the James McCoy Estate. SAN DIEGO, Car., DPec. 20.—William Roarke, a nephew of the late James Mec- Coy of Old Town, yesterday filed in the Superior Court a protest against the pro- bate of McCoy’s will, which leaves all the property, amounting to a snug fortune, to the widow, Winifred McCy. Roarke alleges that McCoy had always said that he iniended to leave the propert; to nis blood relations, but that the will was obtained by Mrs. McCoy while her husband wasof unsound mind, and upon the promise that she would provide for his relatives. It is also alleged that McCoy acted as a sort of guardian of Roarke, caring for his money and receiving large amounts at times, some of which have not yet been accounted fo! — SUES A PORTLAND MAN. A San Francisco Woman Charges Restaurateur Vierick With Bigamy. The Accused Man Claims He Is the Victim of a Blackmailing Scheme. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 20.—A suit for alimony was instituted yesterday after- noon by Emily May Vierick of San Fran- cisco against 'larry Vierick, a prominent restaurateur of this city, who hasa wife and several children. The plaintiff al- leges that Vierick deserted her and re- married without first obtaining a divorce from her. This evening, though, some | startling disclosures respecting this case came from the District Attorney’s office. The counsel for Mrs. Vierick No. 1 es- sayed this afternoon to cause Vierick's arrest for bigamy. The District Attorney | declined to issue an information against the accused. He has seen document- ary vroof in the possession of Vierick, leading him to believe, beyond a doubt, | that his first wife was dead when he wedded his second; and further, that Mrs. | Vierick has been here, off and on, for the | past two months attempting to blackmail Vierick. The first demand for money for keeping secret his alleged crime was, it 1s asserted, for $2500, the next $1500 and the third | $1000. Vierick, who is a man of some means, claims he refused to meet these demands, and told the woman and her | lawyers to proceed with the execution of their threats. Vierick will contest the alimony suit. e — ALASKA’S MUDDLE. The Disputed Prohibition Law a Relic of Kussian Iule. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 20.—The chaotic state of affairs in Alaska over the liquor question is giving much trouble, accord- ing to D. K. Johnson, a merchant of Juneau, who is here on business. Mr. Johnson say: “The prohibition law, which has just resulted in the indictment of forty-four saloon-keepers of Juneau, Douglass City and Sitka, is a relic of old Russian rule, and was made to prevent the Indians, with whom for many years the Russians were at war, from getting hold of intoxicants, for a fight was sure to follow a big drunk among the Siwashes. When the Territory was turned over to the United States this Russian__prohibitory law continued in force. With the gold excitement, and consequent rush of hundreds of whites into Fort Wrangel and Juneau, there was immense increase in_traffic, and whisky | traders rapidly made fortunes. “Witn the appointment of Governer Kincaid, a desultory effort was made to stop the traflic, butit soon died. With suc- ceeding changes of Governors and United States Marshals the bringine in of whisky | become more dangerous, so far as confisca- tion was concerned, but the salapns went along just the same. The Government de- cided to license saloons in the face of the organic act. This has brought things into a wretched muddle. The saloon-keeper pays a license, yet he is at the mercy of any one who chooses to prosecute him un- der the organic act. “The action of the Grand Jury in bring- ng the indictments is to bring the matter to a final settlement, the jurors having vetitioned the National Government to either repeal the issuance of licenses or else so amend the organic act that regu- larly licensed dealers may transact their business without fear of prosecution.” —_— RATES 10 ASCEND. End of Contention in Fares From Port- tand Is in Sight. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 20.—Passenger Agent Hurlburt of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company was asked tc-day when his company would restore higher rates to San Francisco. “The matter is still undecided,”" he said. “We are awaiting instructions from Mr. McNeill. Itis probable that there will be an advance about the same time the Southern Pacific's advance goes into effect.” The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company has no desireto antagonize the business interests of Portland by main- taining useless rate - cutting, which, as some. of the merchants contend, is injur- ing home trade by taking people away to San Francisco who would otherwise be here to spend their money. Mr. Harlburt had noti‘:‘ing to say about the contention with the Southern Pacific, although he admitted that if it was necessary to con- tinue $250 and $5 raies they could do it without losing money. He further ad- mitted that if it were not for antagonizing local interests the war would be relent- lessly forced against the Southern Pacific people until they would be glad to discon- tinne the Shasta special, which is still the torment of sailing days for the steamer people. RETURNS TO VICTORIA The Royal Arthur Found No Trace of the Big Strathnevis. ANXIETY IS GROWING. Starvation Threatened the Crew Even if the Gales Were Weathered. QUICK ENDING OF THE SiABCH. News of the Venezuelan Dispute Belitved to Have Called the Flagship Back. VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 20.— As the days roll by and no tidings from the mon- ster steamer Strathnevis are received, the anxiety concerning her continues to grow. Storm after storm has swept the North Pacific coast since the vessel was sighted in a disabled condition, and the belief that the Strathnevis, with its scores of souls, either foundered in midocean or was driven upon the shore and dashed to picces has become almost a conviction. Searching vessels have cruised in vain search for the derefict, and incoming deep- sea craft are anxiously questioned, but none has news to give. To-night a ray of hope came in the form of a rumor that the Danube—one of the searching fleet—had picked up the missing steamer, but it can- not be traced to any reliable source. It was expected that the flagship Royal Arthur would remain out until late in the “month searching for the Strathnevis, and consequently much surprise was expressed at her return this morning. Her officers could give no reason for this further than that a certain radius had been explored, nothing was seen and it was decided to return to port for Christ- mas. Some are inclined to furnish an- other reason for the Royal Arthur’s re- turn. After making every arrangement for a long cruise it is surprising that her Majesty’s flagship should so soon hasten back to port, and the belief is expressed that immediately upon the issuance of President Cleveland’s message a vessel was dispatched with orders for her return, or that some outgoing vessel spoke the flagship and informed her commander of the threatened crisis between England and America. ‘The Royal Arthur’s course was mapped out before her cruise commcnced, and it would not have been a difficult matter to locate her if the Government officials thought her return necessary. Itis hardly possible that the Royal Arthnr could have completed in so short a time the cruise mapped out, and there must have been some urgent reason of her reappearance in port to-day. The officers of the flagship report that very rough weather was experienced throughout the trip, but night and day a 3 lookout was kept and all likely water searched. The flagship during her six days’ ab- sence steamed nearly 1200 miles, cruising between 48 and 50 north latitude, and as far west as 134, or nearly 500 miles from Cape Flattery. She steamed about ten knots an hourin parallel courses twenty milesapart. A crow’s nest was placed 107 feet above water, go that a lookout could fifteen miles in any direction, and at night the flagship’s powerful search-lignt, which can be seen thirty miles off, was used carefully, a lookout being kept for answer- ing rockets or distress fires. The cruising ground was based on the | natural drift of a steamer of the Strath- nevis’ size with the prevailing winds, weather and currents since she was re- ported by theJohn Gamble. Since then | the prevailing winds have changed and naval officers now believe that if the vessel bas not gone down she is further north than calculated—doubtless toward the Queen Charlotte group. It was there that the Canadian Pacific steamer Danube com- menced her search and it is believed by some here that she will return with her rich prize in tow. One peril that besets the passengers and crew of the Strathnevis, granting that the steamer is still above water, is starva- tion. When sighted by the John Gamble provisions were running low and the 120 Chinese passengers aboard were clamorous because they were already forced to eat white men’s diet, their rice having been exhausted. There was not enough in the larder to nave held off a famine even this length of time. LOS ANGELES ACCIDENT. An Aged Couple Struck by a Santa Fe Engine and Killed. Run Down by an Oncoming Tyain While Attempting to Cross the Track. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Dec. 20.—J. T. Lincoln and his aged wife were dashed into eternity this morning without a mo- ment’s warning. As they were crossing the Redondo branch of the Santa Fe track, at a private crossing on East Central ave- nue, about a half mile eastof La Grande station, the engine of regular train No. 140, coming from Redondo, struck the buegy. The vehicle was broken into small frag- ments and the aged occupants crushed to death. The engineer claims that the train coming in at the usual rate of speed. He noted the fact that there was a horse and buggy approaching to cross the track, and ave the usual warning by ringing the gell; but the aged occupants either did not hear the bell, or, if they did, failed to realize the warning conveyed. The old gentleman’s head and chest were crushed and Mrs. Lincoln was mutilated almost he{ond recognition. Their horse was also kiiled in the collision. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln lived at Whittier | and were visiting their daughter, Mrs. Hyer, on Central avenue. They have other relatives in the city. S Sl Death of a Chico Capitalist.

TROOPS IN THE FIELD. All Indians Off the Reservation to Be Captured or Killed. MURDER NEAR MULE CREEK. A Cowboy Ambushed by Redskins and Riddled With Bullets. SILVER CITY, N. M., Dec. 20.—General ‘Wheaton, Department Commander, with headquarters at Denver, has given orders to commanders of all border posts to pur= sue and capture or destroy all Indians found off the reservations. The body of Charles Snow, a cowboy employed on the Higgins ranch, was found last night near Mule creek, in the Mongollon mountains, on the line divid- ing Grand and Socorro counties. Snow had been missing since last Friday, and searching parties had been out ever since. His horse, saddle and clothing had been taken, and the body was riddled with bul- lets. Indian signs were found in the snow, showing unmistakable evidences of the murderers, who are undoubtedly the same band of renegade Indians from San Carlos that had been committing depredations in Arizona. R CAVALRY IN THE FIELD. A Detachment to Be Kept on the Skire h All Winter. DENVER, Coro., Dec. 20.—At army headquarters it wus learned that a detach- ment of cavalry would be kept on the skirmish in Southern Arizona all winter, or until the renegade Indians are forced to surrender und return to the reservation or until they are killed. General Wheaton will return to Denver to-morrow. Purchase of Railroads. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20.—State- ments have reached Washington that the Nicaraguan Government has concluded with an Englishman named Morgan an artangement through -which he secures control by actual purchase of all the rail- road lines in that country. These roads run from Grenada to Managua, the capital, and from Momotumbo to Corinto, the port which figured so conspicuously in the acquiescence of the Nicaraguans to Great Britein’s demand for indemnity through its occupation by British warships and land forces. —_———— Thirty Lives Were Lost.
