Captain Dettmers of the steamer Alca- | ar had quite a romantic story to tell this | morning after he had docked his vessel. | It was connection with the rescue of a | Greek fisherman at Port Los Angeles and | it was the watchfulness of a woman that | saved the man. The fisherman had put out to sea in the | morning and in the afternoon it began to | blow. Up on the side of the hill was the | fisherman’s home and in it was his wife | and child. When the wind came up the | woman got anxio: and taking down a | 11 1 her husband had y she scanned | fiela given her on her weddi the waters for the f g boat. She saw it | y and her hnsband was steering for the harbor. Suddenly a squall struck the boat and over she went. The | horror-stricken woman dropped the glass for some days past, owing to the tule fires which illuminate the surrounding country at night and, of course, frighten the wild game from the marshes. Then, again, the cold nights that have recently intervened froze the ponds, and the birds were compelled to resort to the sloughs for shelter and food. It is presumed that the gun clubs will give as a reason for a scarcity of birds the heavy shooting ac- complished of late by outsiders who have no legal right to shoot at preserved ducks on preserved territory. The barricade that was placed near the mouth of the Frank Horn slough last Oc- tober by employes of the Cordelia and | Teal clubs, and which preveuted schooners and yachts from reaching a point near Espinosa station, disappeared one day last week durine the heavy tides, and as a con- sequence Bell’s ark, which was anchored near the mouth of the slough ever since the duck-shooting season opened, floated with the tide and is now anchored at Ks- pinosa station. There are other yachts now on the way to Espinosa, and it is ex- pected that there will be hunting galore in that vicinity before the season drawstoa close. The members of the Mallard Club, who | have been enjoined from entering the Ibis Club grounds, will fight the case, and they think thatthey have anexcellent chance of defeating their Coloradoan op- penents, notwithstanding that the case has been taken into the Federal courts. The Mallards are of theopinion that the Attorney-General of this State should take &n interest in their fight, as itis ona Eurallel with the contest now going on etween the Southern Pacific Company of Kentucky and the Railroad Commis- sioners of California. The guardhouse, which was constructed | by the Teal Club within close proximity to where the Mallard Club’s ark is an- chored, and which was burned last week, owing to the intemperance of the keepers who were employed to watch the actions of the Mallards, has been replaced by a and opening the door raced down the hill to where the Alc r and a tug he went first to the tug and begged for | assistance, but they told her the vessel | ad broken down and was useless.

Dairymen Anxious to Have the Super- visors Exclude It From the Market. The Board of Health and representa- tives of the Dairymen’s Association held a joint meeting at Dr. Fitzgibbons' office last evening to discuss proposed changes in the ordinance regulating the sale of milk. Of the three hundred members of the association in question only a few wish to continue the sale of skim milk. The ordi- ce at present provides that this article st not be carried on the same wagon h other milk. he board is inclined to consent to the change sugwested by the dairymen, and a recommendation to this end will probably © made to the Board of Supervisors. Tne | nance, which is undergoing other -es, is now before the Health and Po- ,mmittee of the Supervisors. Another meeting of the Board of Health will be neld in a few days, when the mat- ter will ve further considered. o PARTNERSHIP TROUBLE. W. A. Hastings Arrested for Unlaw- fully Retaining Keys and Books. W. A. Hastings, formerly secretary of the Western Furnishing Company, 967 Mission street, was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn to by H. op, presi- dent of the company, charging him with unlawfully retaining possession of keys and property belonging to the concern. He said that Hastings was discharged last Frid yut of spite he took with him some keys and books. After Hast- ings was arrested he said that Bishop was angry at him because he refused to do his bidding. He was not the secretary, but bad a half interest in the company. Hast- ings denied that he had misappropriated any property of the company. — Police Commissioners. The Police Commissioners met last night and heard charges against three policemen. Elijah C. Percival was fined $25 for violating the rules of the department. John Roche, for fail- ing to patrol his beat, was fined $35. The charge against Philip H.

WALTER 0. CATIO DEA The Passing Away of the Local Manager of the Firm of Grace & Co. Well and Favorably Known in Com- mercial Circles in Valparaiso and Here, Flags were at half-mast yesterday over the Merchants’ Exchange and all the shipping-houses out of respect to the memory of Walter D. Catton, who passed away at bis home near Piedmont at an early hour yesterday morning of bronchial troubie, after an illness of two months. Mr. Catton, for three years prior to his death, was the manager of the local agency of the shipping firm of Grace & Co. of New | York, and during that period gained a large‘nmu ber of friends in the commercial world. For a number of years Mr. Catton was the firm’s representative in Valparaiso, and while in the southern country met a ady in Chile who became his wife. In 1890 he returned to this City and two years later became manager, filling the vacancy caused by the death of William E. Hollo- | way. In'addition to his mercantile duties he was Chilean Vice-Consul. | Mr. Catton was 39 yearsof age and left a 'THE YACHT JESSIE SOLD. She Will at Once Be Turned Into a Columbia River Pilot Boat, HER OWNER TIRED OF HEBR. Commodore Macdonough Accepted Less Than a Fourth of What the Yacht Cost. The yacht Jessie has been sold, and no more will she fly the house flag of Commo- dore Joseph Macdonough. The gallant yachisman bas tired of the sea, and no more will he be seen in the lead in forth- coming regattas. During last season the Jessie was not in commission half the time. It soon became known that the Jessie was for sale and offers for her came from all parts of the country. She is known as a fast yacht and is fitted out in a luxurious manner. When anchored off Sausalito and ready for her trial | is especially clever, while Leonard Grover Jr., piece by several encores, and the second week Ppromisas more life in the play than has been shown. Theater parties seem to have drifted in the direction of “The Widow Jones,” ior there were several scattered in the orchestra and dress circle last night and the box-office card tells of more during the week. The piece has lots of variety, and M‘K Irwin, its star, is meking it most aftractive, though the support she receives from her company is of the best. Next week Louis James will appear in “Vir- ginius.” He will bring with him a strong company. At the Baldwin. Herrmann, the magician, st1ll attracts a fair audience. His great trick of catching the bul- lets supposed to be fired by six United States soldiers at the command of an army sergeant, is very effective, while Mrs. Herrmann’s danc- ing is fascinating in the extreme. The wizard’s other tricks are both mysterious and amusing. At the Tivoli, Large numbers continue to attend the Tivo- 1i’s holiday spectacle, “Ixion.” The trans- formation scene at the end is one of the most effective presented in the City for years past, and was cordially applauded. At the Alcazar. Leonard Grover's favorite farce-comedy, “Our Boarding-house,” 1s on the boards this week at the Alcazar. The piece is rather well ut on, though the effect is somewhat marred v the fong_waits which occasionally occur. Josephine Gassman as Jessie, the housemaid, as Professor Gillypod, and Miss Mina Gleason as Beatrice, the music-teacher, are very pleas- ing. The remainder of the company is up to the average. “The Runaway Wife.” “The Runaway Wiie” played to a good audi- ence at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house last even- ing. The play is well staged, the scenery being to & great extent new and prepared especially THE CRACK SCHOONER-YACHT JESSIE COMMODORE JOSEPH MACDONOUGH, [Sketched by a AND HER LATE OWNER, EX. “Call”’ artist.] WALTER D.

She was steered to port by means of two beams and some chains, and wasdocked at Howard No. 2 oy the tug Lena L. In docking, the tug got into collision with the schooner John Nagle, and nad a hole stove in her deck- house. The Chetco was also slightly dam- aged. The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer China sails for Hongkong, via Yokohama, this afternoon at 3 r. M. She will take away about twenty cabin passengers and 300 Chinese. Among the former will be Mrs. W. Dunning, wife of Passed As- sistant Engineer Dunning of the Olympia, and_ Charles R. Walters, of the firm of D. & N. E. Walters, Charles Hook was arrested by Officer Hennebery on Market street, near the ferries, and booked for furious driving at the Harbor police station. Bail was not allowed, as another and more serious charge may be placed against him. Hook was driving his express wagon at a quick | gait and not looking for anything that might be ahead. He knocked down G. W. Cook of 132 Linden street, Oakland, and drove over him. The horse tramped on the prostrate man and one of the wheels passed over his neck. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, and Hook is held pending an inquiry into the nature of his injuries. A BLOCKADE BROKEN. Hunting Arks and Sloops Are Now Sailing Up to Espinosa Station. Sportsmen of Suisun, Vallejo, Benicia and San Francisco were strongly repre- sented on the Suisun marshes last Sunday. Members 0{ the Cordelia, Ibis and Tule Belle shooting clubs made no complaints of being annoyed by poachers, vet very few of them returned with more than one dozen birds to the gun.

His death was not unexpected, hope of his recovery having n abandoned some time since. When he passed away he was surrounded by his sorrowing family.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, the late famously wise professor of anatomy and physiology at Earvard University, on pre- tentious phrenologists and phrenology: “Can you tell how much money there is in a safe which also has thick double walls by kneading its knobs with your fingers? So when a man fumbles about my fore- head and talks about the organs of indi- viduality, size, etc., I trusthim as much as I should if he felt of the outside of my strong box and told me that there wasa five- dollar or a ten-doliar bill under this or that particular rivet. Perhaps there is, only he doesn’t know anything about it.”—“The Professor at the Breakfast Table,” by Dr. 0. W. Holmes, Boston, 1883, page 251. J. Stanley Grimes, the greatest of phre- nologists, i’n his “Phrenology,” Boston, 1850, page 99, truly says: ‘“‘Phrenological examinations hava degenerated into the merest quackery. * * ¥ Thefortune-teller # * % really tells more than any of our most boasting phrenologists without half | their egotistical pretensions to science.” These facts are quite applicable to-day. ————————— Democrats of the Third District. At a meeting of the Democrats of the Thirty- seventh Assembly district last evening a reso- lution was passed to put before the people of that aistrict a ticket for the election of officers and members of the general committee, trip books at a valuation of $25,000. Thatis the sum it cost to build and equip her. Of course no such.sam as that was expected when shie was placed on the market, but when the Columbia River pilots offered $10,000 for her Commodore Macdonough thought the fizure too small and refused it. This was several months ago, and the Oregon men began looking around for an- other boat. In the meantime the expenses on the Jessie kept mounting up, and Mac- donough being tired of her wrote to the pilots, stating that he would acceot the $10,000 offer. The answer came in the nature of a surprise. The pilots said they were ncgotiating for another boat and that they would not pay more than.$6000 for the Jessie. The commodore thought the matter over and finally came to the con- clusion to let the yacht. go. He conse- quently accepted the $6000 offer, and in a few days the crack schooner yacht Jessie will sail for the Columbia River in charge of one of the pilots. Her future home will be Astoria, and the Oregonians will now be able to claim a fleet boat with which to defend their pennant. The Jessie is one of the last schooner achts turned out by Captain Turner from {li! yards at Benicia. She is 86 feet long over all, 74 feet 6 inches on the water line, 24 feet beam, 10.60 feet draft and registers 75 tons. She is speedy, comfortable and thoroughly seaworthy, and at the figure she is a wonderful bargain. In all the regattas the Jessie was so suc- cessful that the palm for speed was gen- erally conceded to her. In the friendly brushes between the Lurline, Aggie, Chispa and Macdonough'’s yacht ihe Jessie usually won over a long course. The Aggie is a centerboard yacht and in short work she frequently outsails the crack. Commodore Macdonough has a number of trophies won by his boat, and in a week or so these will be all he will have left to remind him of the merry times and glori- ous cruises he had on the stout yacht Jessie. When James V. Coleman bought the English-built yacht Miranda Macdonough chfilenged him to race for $5000 a side. Coleman replied that ne was going to keep his yacht in Eastern waters, so no race was possible. At that time the Jessie's qualities were very generally discussed and the opinion of yachting men was that the Macdonough yacht was the fastest yacht of her class outside of a racing ma- chine. Her weatherly qualities will be well tested on the Columbia River bar., THE CITY PLAYHOUSES, Fannie Rice Makes a Hit With Her New Songs in “The French Ball.” Transformations at the Tivoli—Prom- ising Prospects for “The Widow Jones” and “Ixion.” It seems that people never get tired of Fanny Rice. Though her new vlay, “Nancy at the French Ball,” has been running since before Christmas crowds continue to attend the Columbia to see the brilliant actress and to hear her bright, catchy songs. During the second act last night, while she is repre- sented as entering the residence of the prima donna to deliver a pair of shoes (for the real Nancy is a shoe- maker’s wife), she sang a number of topi- cal songs, whkich made a great hit. Her first was “It Takes a Giri to Do It Kvery Time.” But the encore carried the house by storm. It was an original son%, both words and music being composed by the gifted actress. “The Widow Jomes.” For its second week “The Widow Jones” opened at the California Theater before & very fair house. McNally's comedy seems to take and Rice and May Irwin make the piece go in the most attractive form. The cast remains the Jessie stood on her owner’sfor this production. In the absence of Mr. Brinker, the leading man of the company, Fred J. Butler took the partof Arthur East- man, the American artist. His work was very creditable, and although the character is some- what out of his usual line, he fell in without a hitch and showed a keen appreciation of the finer points of his role. Henderson made a good Talbot Vane, and Benrimo was excellent as Dr. Prescott. The ladies were all very good, especially Maud Hall as Lady Alice. “The Runaway Wife” will be played this week, and then the bill will be changed. At the Orpheum. There are some old songs which are ever new when rendered by an artist. Thatis probably the reason for the applause which Bernard Dyllyn nightly wins by his rendition of **Never Take the Horseshoe From the Door” at the Orpheum. The bill for the New-Year week at this place of musement is & strong oue. The audience last night was unusually large and appreciative. Caron and Herbert, lge grotesque acrobats, rank among the clev- erest in their line, and their perform- ance last night won the house. Newell and Shevette on the horizontal bar are very good, and De Bolien Brothers likewise came in for liberal encouragement. W. 8. Clifford ana Miss Huth do a clever sketch. Frank Moran, Senator at large; Hill and Hull, Germ comedians; Clothilde Antonio and the Ma. hattan Comedy Four make up the balance of a very excellent programme. e+ STABBED IN THE ABDOMEN. Benjamin Rader, While Insane, tempts to Commit Suicide. Benjamin Rader, cook on the schooner Bowhead ,attempted to commit suicide last night while temporarily insane. Shortly after 6 o’clock he went to hisroom at 1825 Powell street and told the landlady that he was being pursued by several men, who threatened to cut him to pieces. Rader then drew a pocketknife from | under his vest and plunged the blade into his abdomen. She rushed outside and tola a policeman what Rader had done. Rader was sent to the Receiving Hospital. Drs, Thompson and Stice found that the wound was not dangerous, ———————— Wayward Girls. Louise Paille and Edna Huntington, both 17 years of age, ran away from their home re- cently. On Saturday, Edna’s mother, who lives at 244 Chenery street, found them in the Glenbrook rooming-house, 116 Sixth street. While she went for a policeman the girls made their escape. Yesterday afternoon Louise was arrested by Officers Holbrook and Murray of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and Edna went home.

A BILL IN INTERVENTION. He Complains That the Action Was Brought to Evade His Mort- gage. Isaack Kohn has filed an interesting complaint in intervention in the insol- vency proceedings of Louis Braverman. In it he attempts to break down what he terms is an effort to evade the payment of a valuable mortgage which he holds, and he asks that the proceedings be dismissed. Kohn held two notes for $25,000 each, executed by Braverman in his favor on January 6, 1893. They are due on the same date in 1896. The notes, he says, are secured by two mortgages, one on a piece of property on Polk street, near Clay, and the other on the southwest corner of Sacramento and Drumm streets. These mortgages, he says, be did not place on record tili the afternoon of December 16, 1895, the same aay ana only a few hours after the insolvency vroceedings were commenced. The petition in insolvency, he says, was filed at 9 o’clock—just after the County Clerk's office was opened on December 16 last. Braverman is going through involun- tary insolvency on the petition of Bertha Bernheim, Louis Gundelfinger, Louis Em- stein, Daniel Meyer and Louis Einstein & Co. Kohn states that their petition was collusive and done for the purpose of im- pairing the valueof bis securities. Bertha Bernheim, he says, is Braverman’s daugh- ter; Gundelfinger is Braverman’s son-in- law; Einstein is Braverman’s nephew, and is married to a niece of Daniel Meyer, and Louis Einstein & Co is controlled by Louis Einstein. The petition in insolvency, Kohn says, “‘although apparently hostile to Braverman, was made, filed and signed at the instance of Braverman, and said proceedings in insolvency are collu- ive and made with a view of impairing he said mortgage security of said inter- venor and in creating a doubt upon its validity and of coercing this intervenor into the surrender of the whole or part of his said mortgage security.” Proceeding on the complaint says: “And this intervenor avers upon his information and belief that a few days prior to the fil- ing of said petition in insolvency and from said time to the time of the filing of the said petition, the said petitioning creditors were in continuous consultation with said respondent, Louis Braverman, and his advisers, and the fact that the in- tervenor was_a creditor to the extent of $50,000, and that his said indebtedness was secured by mortgages, and that said mort- gages were not recorded, was well known atall said times to each and all of said petitioning creditors.” 3 Kohn says further that the “creditors | conspired and confederated together” for | the purpose of invalidating and defeating | his mortgages by reason of them not hav- ing been secured, and in pursuance of this design the petition was filed imme- diately after the opening of the County Cierk’s office on December 16. In view of these facts Kohn asked that the insolvency proceedings be dismissed. A SOCIALIST'S VIEWS. A. Lewis Discusses Methods and Tactics of the Social Democracy. Austin Lewis, the wetl-known Socialist, delivered the second of a series of lectures last evening in the Temple at 115 Turk street. The hall was well filled. Mr. Lewis’ subject was **Methods and Tactics of the Social Democracy.” In order to make his points more irupressive upon the minds of his audience he reviewed the present social, political and industriai sit- uation and compared it with the ideal state of affairs from a socialistic standpoint. He said that the factory system was the curse of the age and was responsible for more poverty, suffering and strikes than any other cause. Dealing more directly with the main subject, Mr. Lewis said that this state of affairs could only be overcome by war— not a war of bullets and brute strength, but a war with ballots. Irregularities in the Blythe Case. A motion to quash service on the ground of irregularity was entered in the United States Circuit Court yesterday by Attorney W. H. H. Hart, senior counsel for Florence Biythe Hinckley and her husband in the case brought by the “Gypsy” Blythes. In consequence Mrs. B\’ythe and her husband will be allowed to make a separate appearance apart from the Blythe company when the case is heard on the dalen Asylum. first Monday in January.
