ALONG THE WATER FRONT Narrow Escape of the Steamer Monticello in a Colli- sion. RUN DOWN BY THE MARKHAM. All Vessels Trading Between French Colonies Must Fly the French Flag. There was a narrow escape from a fatal collision between the Vallejosteamer Mon- ticello and the State tug Governor Mark- It was only owing to the great presence of mind of Captain Randall that the catastrophe was averted. As it was both steamers were considerably damaged. The Monticello had her guard cut through and her upper works smashed in,” while a projecting piece of timber drove a hole a foot square through the bow of the Governor Mark- ham. There was a great outery on the passenger-boat when she was struck and eral of the female passengers fainted. v soon came to, however, when all danger was passed. It was a few minutes after 4 o’clock and the Monticello was backing out of the slip. A scow had her mooring-lines in the way and a delay of several minutes was neces- arv to clear the way. Just as she was be- ning to go full speed astern the Mark- ham was seen making for her dock at full speed. Both captains saw the danger, nd while Randall gave the order, *‘full reed ahead,”” the captain of the Governor Markham ordered * speed astern.” 1t s too late, however, and both ves- sels met with a grinding crash that was ard blocks awa An_examination of Monticello mede, and it was 1 that she was not badly enough to necessitate Javing up, so she v to Vallejo.

The barkentine Tropic Bird which ar- rived from Tahiti yesterday had a very rough time during the last five days of the voyage. She isa stout vessel, however, and like her master the older she gets the better she is. ‘‘We had a rough time of it,” said Captain Burns, “but, **Lord bless you, there was never a gale yet that could bother the old Tropic Bird.” The only passenger was Vi Gooding, the agent of Matthew Turner of Benicia in the French He is troubled with ma and has come to San Francisco on visit to his sister to see whether it will do him any good: For fifieen years he has almost continuously lived in Tahiti and the Marqueses, and there he says he will die. The crew of the Tropic Bird confirm the news brought by the Leon, and published xclusively in Tre Carn. In future all seis that desire to trade between the French colonies must fly the French flag, and in order to gain that privilege the managing owner must be a Frenchman and the skipper of the same nationality. Wool is coming to the United States from the colonies in great quantities. The Alameda has 6700 bales on board and the Mariposa will bring almost as much. Be- des this there is also an immense num- of skins with the fleece on coming. From this it does not look as though Uncle Sam had begun to grow all his own wool yet. E. C. Este, first mate of the American ship Iroquis, is in further trouble. As soon as the vessel docked at Howard 3 he ran away, and going up town began to carry on. Hegot into a row, and thinking he was still aboard ship drew a revolver. For this he was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. Allday vesterday he was trying to get his pay in order to secure bail. Este 18 charged with beating and wound- ing the sailors, and the chances are that if he escapes in_the Police Court he wiil be arrested by a United States Marshal. The United States cruiser Boston went to sea vesterday for gun practice. Over $100,000 bas been spent on her repairs and it is expected that she will now be one of the crack vessels of the navy. The old barkentine Wrestler got in from Hiogo, Japan, yesterday after a very quick passage of twenty-four days. She brings a cargo of tea, which will get quick dispatch. She is consigned to Mohns & Kaiterbach. The Wrestler was well known in San Francisco several years ago. She was built by W. G. Hall sixteen years ago and was at first commanded by Captain Schnaurr, late of the ship John Iina. Two vears ago she went ashore on Vancouver Island and the wreck was sold for §950. She was pur- chased by some British Columbia capital- ists, repaired and placed under the Nicara- guan flag and is now one of the smartest- looking barkentines afloat to-day. GIBSON’S CAPTURE. a Well-Enown Eastern Crook, Is Taken In by Detective Gibson. Detective Gibson, assisted by Officers Campbell and Wren, made a clever capture Thursday night in the person of Charles Davis, alias Dickson, alias Jack Strauss. Davis is a well-known Eastern crook, and has spent the major part of the past thirty years in prison. Detective Gibson was walking along Mariket street during the early part of the evening whén he encountered the ex-con- vict. He immediately recognized Davis, and knowing bim to be a dangerous cnar- acter determined to shadow him. The man walked aimlessly about for an hour or o0, and then went to his room, 430 Powell street. The detective called to his assistance the iwo officers named, and entering the room Davis, placed Davis under arrest. A full sef of burglars’ tools was found in his possession. Davis is an all-round crook, having served three terms in Sing Sing and one at San Quentin. He received his first sen- tence in 1853, and has seen more or less prison life since then. His second term dates from 1874, and his third sentence was received eight years later. In 1890 Davis arrived in San Francisco under the name of Johnson, On February 27 he was given four years in San Quentin and was only released last summer. In one of the bureau-drawers in his room on Powell street was found a lady’s diamond ring. A PIE-EATING THIEF. ‘Daring Burglar Raids Five Houses on Golden Gate Avenue—Work of a Tramp. A burglar with an appetite for pie made a wholesale raid on Golden Gate avenue early vesterday morning. In rapid suc- cession he paid his respects to five houses, but ali he secured was $42 in cash and a 50- cent alarm clock. The burglar began his operations at the home of Thomas Barrett, 825 Golden Gate avenue. An entrance was effected through a kitchen window, which the servant had failed to lock. Finding nothing of value on the lower floor, the burglar proceeded to the bedroom of Mr. Barrett, and from a pair of trousers lying on a trunk stole Miss Bessie Cole. $42. That seemed to satisfy the marauder! for he withdrew to the kitchen and helped himself to a pie. Then in rapid succession he visited the houses occupied by I. Newman, M. Fitz- gerald, F. L. Bates and M. Greenblatt, all in the same block. In every instance an entrance was effected through the kitchen window, the burglar cutung the wire screen and then lifting the latch. The thief seemed satisfied to confine operations to the culinary department, for with the exception of the coin taken from Mr. Bar- rett and an alarm clock from the kitchen bson and Bee have the case in hand, and feel confident they will soon capture the daring fellow. That 1t wasthe work of one man is evident, judging from the means employed in effecting an en- trance into each house. Gibson and Bee are also investigating the burglarizing of Morris Livingston’s house, corner of Oc- tavia and Golden Gate avenue, which oc- curred about the same hour. Nothing of value was taken ALL LODKING STAGEWARD. A Number of Clever Players Appear at the California Theater. A Local Play That, Like Bo-Peep’s Sheep, Had “Left Its Tail Behind It.” The second public performance of the Columbia School of Dramatic Art, which took place yesterday afternoon at the Co- lumbia Theater, revealed one or two wonld- be actresses of very decided ability. The performance also showed that the women possess the lion’s share of the talent. The three young ladies who claim espe- cial attention are Miss Daisy Belle Sharp, Miss Beatrice Browning and Miss Eleanor Perrin. Miss Sharp, who played the lead- ing role in the comedietta, stated on the rogramme te be bv ‘‘a local author,”” was {".amnered by her leading man, who forgot his lines and frequently left her bereft of cues, but the young lady triumphed over her poor support by throwing herself heart and soul into her part and acting with a fervor and sincerity that would have brought her a much larger measure of ap- plause 1if her effort had not been ham- pered by her associates. As it was she gave decided promise of making an excel- lent emotional actress. Miss Beatrice Browning had a very small comeay role in the *‘local’”’ play, but she threw so much spirit” and mcanini into her lines, besides showing herself to e the possessor of an exceptionally fine speaking voice, that she must be classed among the most promising of yesterday’s debut- antes. As for the play itself, which was | given for the first time on any stage, it a) peared to have a beginning and a middle, but no denouement. If it did possess that necessary characteristic of a play it was blurred out, so to speak, in the film which obscured Asa Lee Willard’s memory and made his lines, at times, conjectural. James Keane, who played the part of Miss S harp’s lover, knew his part like a book, but he might have entered into a compact to dismiss the audience by a certain hour, for he recited what he had to say as if he wanted to get the greatest possible number of words in before the umpire called “‘time.”’ The best all-round performance was that of Francois Coppee’s charming little play, “The Violin-Maker of Cremona.” uis Butler, as the deformed musician, proved himself to be the stellar Juminary among the men pupils. His acting was excellent, and, as his support was good, he won the applause he deserved. Dr. William Sprague was good as the old maestro, and Norman Merrill acted the partof Sandro satisfactorily. As Giannina, Miss Freda Gallick acted prettily and conscienticusly. Frances Hodgson Burnett's play, ‘‘Tea at 4 O'Clock,” 18 rather a much-ado-about nothing affair, but it received a satisfactory ! representation. Miss Eleanor Perrin was | remarkably graceful and effective as Mrs. Eftingham. Vera Leslie showed ability in the little part of Arabelle Coddington, JamesKeane did better work as Mr.Grayson than he did in_the *“local” play, E. Las- treto blustered effectively as General Sabre- tache, and as Dr. Grantley William Henri was humorous and well made up. Miss Helen Trafton, Miss George Elliott, George Plillips, Clement Hopkins and R. W. Travers ali did good work in knowing their lines and rendering them effectively. There was a large aundience present, which did not warm into any particular entpnusiasm till Francois Coppee’s play was reached. Some pretty dancing was done by eight young ladles of the school, and the following voung ladies, who had been excellently trained by Eugene Schmidt, sang two sextets: Miss Beatrice Brown- ing, Miss Edna Elsmere, Miss Adele Stone, Miss Gladys Wynn, Mids Loys Webber, Miss Georgia Stewart. DEAF MUTES T0' MARRY, Sculptor Douglas Tilden to Wed Miss Bessie Cole of Oakland. NEITHER CAN SPEAK OR HEAR. Their Courtship Began at the Insti- tute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. The engagement of Douglas Tilden, the deaf-mute sculptor, and Miss Bessie Cole of Oakland, who also suffers from the loss of both speech and hearing, has been made public. The wedding will be cele- brated with the advent of the summer months. Douglas Tilden is well known [in California and abroad. His career at Berkeley and his artistic achievements have found him surrounded by many friends, who will be pleased to learn of his happiness. The completion of the statue of the base. ball pitcher first attracted -public attention to the mute sculptor’s talent. The statue was widely exhibited and at last found a permanent resting-place in Golden Gate Park. Later on Mr. Tilden was appointed in- structor at the Beikeley Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. The State sent him to Paris and through Europe to study the methods there in vogue for the care of | Curry {_ hfi;e _been made to suffer through your au No matter what comes you may always count on my undying love, which even the grave will not subdue. Yet I am hopeful that all will end happily for both of us. Atall times be- lieve me to be your faithful and loving wife. The wife also wrote that she hoped all would yet be well if her husband “stopped drinking.” She regretted he had not answered a previous letter and the thought that he contemplated deserting her almoat drove her to delirium. His parents, she added, were still hoping he would reform and return. Maxwell was 24 years of age. He was a member of the Pacific Coast Marine Fire- men’s Union and declared his intention ro become an American citizen before Clerk on July 10. A member of the Fire- men’s Union said that Maxwell had lately been brooding over something. An inquest to determine the cause of death will be held Monday. Meantime the parents of .the young man, who are said to be well to do, have been notified. The Washtenaw left port Thursday aft- ernoon. ————————— KINDERGARTEN CHRISTMAS. Miss Lillie Fales’ Work Among the Children on Harrison Street. Ninety-five children enjoyed the Christ- mas festivities at the First Congregational Kindergarten yesterday afternoon, and the patrons and friends who were present followed *‘a close second” in the day’s sports. The tree, that drooped under the weight of toys, was an object of wonder to the little ones, who performed very skillfully and cheerfully their share of the after- noon’s programme. This consisted of ames apd songs composed by Miss Helen E:. ‘Wright, the author of “‘The Grass- hoppers’ Party.” Miss Lillie Fales has been in charge of ears. She is assisted by Miss Helen E. Wright and Miss Ella Newell. The kiu.ergarten is under the direction of a committee appointed by the First Congregational Church. The committee the work for three DOUGLAS TILDEN, THE SCULPTOR.

She was sent to Europe and kept for a long time under the care of distin- guishea specialists,-but without avail, and finally she returned to her Oakland home and entered the Berkeley institution to complete her education despite her disad- vantages. It was at Berkeley that the lovers’ ro- mance than. Miss Cole became a pupil of Mr. Tilden, and he taught her appar- ently more than is prescribed by the regu- lar course. When the teacher had com- pleted his investigations in Europe and returned to California the tender friend- ship was renewed to blossom finally into an idyl of true love. The engagement has not yet been pro- mulgated in a formal way. "In fact, L. G. Cole, the father, will not admit any knowl- edge of the matter and insists that only the young people should be consulted. Miss Cole, when seen at her home yester- day, confirmed the report of her engage- ment. A questiou as to the ‘‘happy day,” meaning, of course, the date set for the wedding, was misconstrued, and she wrote in reply, “Last Sunday.” When the pur- port of the question was explained she hastened to state that it had not yet been fixed, blushing prettily the while over hav- ing inadvertently betrayed the inception of the engagement. L. G. Cole, the father of the bride to be, is a brother of Harbor Commissioner Cole and one of Oakland’s best-known citizens. He was a pioneer of the early days and is now a man whose wealth is estimated in six figures. FRANK MAXWELL'S END. Wretched Fate of the Fireman of the Steamer Washtenaw—Left a Wife in Liverpool. The body of Fireman Frank Maxweli of the steamer Washtenaw now lies on a cold marble slab at the Morgue. Ina hospital in distant Liverpool, Eng., is his wife, made sick and almost dy:ng because of his cruel desertion of her. The aged parents of Maxwell, at home, have been watching by her bedside while life has continued to linger. Maxwell was found dead on the rocks under the wharf at the foot of Fremont street, yesterday morning, by Boatman Peter Kelleher, who reported his discov- ery to the Coroner. Whether Maxwell’s death was due tosuicide or accident no one seems to know. . There was a letter in one of the dead man’s kets which sheds some light on his past history. It was from his_ wife, Mirnie, dated at 4 Barmouth street, Liver- pool, April 18 of this year, and addressed to0 a Chilean gurt. It bad been remailed to this City. The letter tells its own story in the following extracts: In leaving me as you did you treated me with gre-‘twcrueux. 'In; dld?vou not tell me that you intended to ship for three years ?

The girls of the ninth grades in the Denman Grammar School demonstrated yesterday the fallacy of the old saw that “Too many cooks spoil the broth.” Each of the two classes which have been receiy- ing instruction in cooking under Miss ‘Whittaker’s direction during the past term served to their friends a delicious luncheon that would have done credit to the best caterers in town, and every dish was prepared by the members of the classes. The two ninth grades are under Mrs. Baumgardner, the vice-principal, and Miss Jessie Smith. Mrs. Baumgardner's class haa decorated the classroom tastefully and there the exercises were held and lunch served in an adjoining room. An interesting programme was carried out. Among those taking part in the musical and literary exercises were Helena Falck, Nettie Degen, Jeaneite Neugass, Ruby Meyer, Alicia Dufficey, Annie Schinez- kopf, Leonora Ferrer, Florence Hanley, Lupita Rivas, Florence Schirarzehild, Jessica Davis, Gladys Cummins, un- ningham, Eunice Jeffers, Maud Yiiiler, Pearl Conness, Ruby Meyer and ‘Olvia Verdon. Miss Smith’s class entertained over 100 visitors at luncheon. BSuperintendent Bab- cock made a short speech, in which he hailed the new woman as a cook. James Denman complimented the class on the excellence of its work. Lillian Quinn and FEulavelle Sweetland recited, and Gertrude ‘Wheaton played some selections on the mandolin.

The Latest Chapter in the Troubles of the Rutherfords of Rutherford. Mrs. William Dalzell, formerly Mrs. Rutherford of Rutherford, Napa County, who not long ago married one of her hired men, has been sued in the Justices’ Court in this City for a hotel bill contracted at the Occidental Hotel, and an attachment has been issued against her personal property. That the lady should be in financial diffiulties is a surprise to many. And now it is said that the money required by the servitor she wed has hampered her financially, and that for this reason she is unable to meet her bills. The bill for board and lodging at the Occidental Hotel is for the small sum of $63 25, and suit was brought in the name of Edward W. Engs, as assignee of Major ‘W. B. Hooper. Ivis said that the lady has not of late had as much spare funds as before her marriage. Two years ago her sons, Georze and Lewis, took a dislike to Dalzell and asked that he be discharged, but this she re- fused, and the family relations were not harmonious thereafter. Last July Lewis threatened to kill the hired man, who swore out a warrant for his arrest. The same day Dalzell and Mrs. Rutherford were married. She subse- quently told her sons that they had been married by contract two years before, and had kept the matter secret. Both the sons were indignant, but could do nothing. The harm, if harm it be, was done. It was understood that the mother smoothed matters somewhat by making satisfactory arrangements as to the property. About the middle of last month George came down here and married Miss Lou Worrell, a pretty telegraph operator, who had long been his sweetheart. The mother had objected to their wedding for a lon timo, but with her marriage to Dalzell al obstacies were removed. FEDERAL COURT CALENDAR.

Mrs. M. E. Knowles, president of the W. C.T. U. of San Joaquin County, brought with her from Stockton yesterday & l4-year-old girl whom she placed fn the California Girls’ raining Home. The girl, Jennie Oliver, was living in the rear of a tenement on Miner ave- nue, Stockton, in the midst of indescribable squalor. It is thought the timely intervention of the iedies prevented the girl from entering upon a life of infamy, in which course her mother and an older sister had led the way. The girl's companions in her squalid sur- roundings were her father and brother. Mrs. Knowles arranged vesterday that the boy, who is 12 years old, should be sent to the Boys’and Girls”Aid Society. . o German Theater Reopens.
