ALONG THE WATER FRONT, | Successful Trial Trip of the Tank Oil Steamer George Loomis. ACCIDENTS ON THE BOSTON. River Steamers Delayed on Account of the Low Waters of the . San Joaquin. The tank steamer George Loomis had her trial trip on the bay yesterday and it proved a genunine success. Oil was used as fuel and it generated more steam than the engines could use. As the steamer is to carry oil between Ventura and here the insurance men are natu interested in her, so the follow- ing went out on the trial trip: Captain 3 of the Fireman’s Fund, A. Watson Alexander of the Canton, Captain i the New Zealand, H. Durbrow of r and Fred Butler of the West- e Companies. Captain J.

Loomis is 175 feet long, 27 es broad and 17 feet deep. Her tonnace is 691, while her net is only tons. Her tanks are all amidship and led into six compartments. Coffer- dams are placed ateach end of the tanks S0 as to obviate any possibility of danger. ngements are such that the vessel loaced and unioaded in sixteen n carry 8000 barrels of o eed will be about nine knots. he in nce men were well pleased with the trial of the vessel.

The ship rolled heavily, shift- ing the cargo between decks, which gave the vessel a heavy list. The seas, having a clean sweep against the submerged bulwarks, damaged them considerably. The deckhouses were badly battered by the great wayes that inces- santly broke over them. The high gales continued clear around Cape Horn, with thick and exceedingly cold weather and blinding storms of snow. On October 28 the Roderick Dhu hted several large icebergs about five miles to the southward and a’ number of pieces of ice awash floating near the ship. October 30 another furions gale broke over the ship with tremendous seas. While the vessel was laboring heavily Second Officer Gerald Scott Coney lost his footing on the poopdeck and in an instant was washed overboard. He was dashed up un- der the ship’s counter and apparently had been injured striking against the hull. g Lines and a lifebuoy were thrown to him, | bul% he appeared to be unable to help him- self. The hapless man was dashed here and there in the broken vessel’s counter, every effort being made for his rescue. Although it was extremely improbable that a boat could live in that sea, an attempt was meade to launch one of the cutters. The wild pitching of the ship made this impossible, and before the boat was cut loose from the slings, a heavier sea than usual broke over the vessel and the unfortunate officer, and he Was seen no more.

VICTIM OF A STREETCAR. Byron Waters’ Corrugated Brow and Severe Words When the Young Lady Cailed on Him. Whether the Southern Pacific Company will settle an obligation which Miss Oza Waldrop of Healdsburg and her friends say is due her is a matter which the young lady has for some time been wait- ing to see. Now she has engaged a lawyer. She was hurt December 12 last by a Powell-street car at the junction of Powell and Pine streets. Besides this, and owing to the injury, she lost her position, which she had secured after much effort, with the Golden Rule Bazaar. Since then she has been under continued expense. Her board and doctor’s bills Lave been running up, and she cannot ain get a position.

Eider left Portland yesterday. full cargo, the greater portion of which is oil. The barkentine Modoc, which haa such a rough experience on her trip to San rancisco, bas lost her Shanghai charter. The repairs to her hull and tophamper will take so long that the charterers could not wait for her. She will accordingly go to Port Blakeley and load lumber for Guaymas. While the barkentine was on her way here Captain Munson, late of the schooner Annie Lee, bought a five-six- | teenths interest in her, and will go out as master, Captain Boesch retiring. Munson is very much chagrined over the fact that : he will have to pay his share of the re- pairs over and above the $3000 he paid for | his interest. Captain Wallis of the steamer Walla Walla will not be seen on his fine vessel | for several trips to come. He has been selected by the California Harbor of Master Mariners to represent them at the annual conference of the narbors in the | United States, to be held in the East next month. Captain Wallis will take his cssel to the Sound, and_from Seattle he will go overland via the Northern Pacific. aptain Carrol, who is now in Alaska, will eventually assume temporary command, but, as he may not be able to join the steamer on the Sound, Captain Gage, one | of the Port Wardens, will go up with Cap- tain Wallis, and, if necessary, bring the Walla Walla back to San Francisco. Cap- tain Wallis is one of the most popular masters sailing in and out of this port, and he will be missed even during his short sojourn in the East. The steamer Washtenaw of the Panama Ratlway lineis not expected here before the 1st of next month. Strange to say, she is calling at all tke way ports, and is said to be loading freight for the Pacific Mail. As the hatchet is now buried, the railroad company probably thinks there isno harm in earning an honest penny by means of the steamer. R gt o AN OFFICER LOST AT SEA.

O'BRIEN ON TRIAL. The Ex-Tax Collector Appears in Court | ‘With His Books. The case against Thomas O’Brien, the Tax Collector, to compel him to account for a shortage of $5828 74, was before Judge Dougherty of with Judge Dougherty in order to try a case in which Judge Dougherty is disquali- fied. The aay was consumed in taking testi- | mony on the method of keeping the books | in the Tax Collector’s office and in tracing various 1tems from the original payment | by the taxpayer through the hands of the clerks and into the treasury. The plea of the defense was that in the system of entry and checking off many items were marked paid which, in fact, were never paid, and as a consequence the amount of money turned in for the fiscal year of 1892 and | 1893 was less by §5828 74 than the amount the books called for, although it did rep- resent the actual amount received. Thuree of the Tax Collector’s books were lost during O’ Brien’s administration, and this will complicate matters a good deal, but before the trial is over the court will have canvassed every item of the vear in which the shortage appeared. S Last of an Old Company. J. B. Haggin, Lloyd Tevis and Henry Wads- worth, stockholders of the dissolved San Fran- cisco and Point Lobos Road Company, have petitioned the Superior Court for permission to divide the proceeds of the sale of the com- any’s property among the shareholders.

In a proceeding entitled Henry Miller, | Bernard Horn, Charies E. Chipman, J. G. James & Co. and H. A. Jones vs. Charles F. Curry, County.Clerk, it is set forth that on October 31, 1895, in an action pending in which D. J. Tally was plaintiff and the present plaintiffs were present plaintiffs delivered Clerk Curry on that da to Count; CAPTAIN HANNAH DEAD. Served Goodall, Perkins & Co. Almost Continuously for Twenty-Five Years. NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT. He Was a Skillful Navigator and Very Popular With the Traveling Public. Capfain Levi Hannah passed away at his residence, 2264 Oak street, at an early hour yesterday morning. He was one of the best known and most popular masters on the Pacific Coast, and he was about the only one of whom it could be said that during his twenty-five years of continunal command in all classes of vessels he never had an accident. During his busy life he was master of vessels in the Alaska and Puget Sound trade, and ran to every port between Flat- | | tery and San Francisco. On the southern | | coast he several times took vessels to the | | Gulf of California and Mexican ports, and | be knew every bay and inlet from San Diego up thoroughiy. He was a great any one who once made a passage with him was e | rfor another. When Goodall, | | Perkins & Co. started running an excur- | sion steamer to Santa Cruz and Monterey the steamer Pomona, with Captain Han- | nah in command, was chosen for the route. The venture s a success, and they have been continued yearly ever since. In the year 1870 Captain Hannah was in command of Davis & Cowell’ Atbert Adams, running in the trade. Lime nearly always formed her cargo, and there was considerable opposi- tion even in those days. Goodall, Nelson & Perkins purchased the steamer Liberty he accepted. From that time dated his connection with the firm now so well known as Goodall, Perkins & Co. Wtile he was master of the Fidelity the United States Government decided to blow up Noonday Rock. A good steamer and a competent man were required to do the work, and after looking around Hannah was selected. He blew up the rock with dynamite and made an excellent job of it. While successful in this ’in- stance, on another occasion the cap- tain nearly lost his life by dynamite. He was a passenger on an excursion Islands. The master of the vessel wanted to show how many fish could be killed by y #Vay the best of the s THE LATE CAPTAIN LEVI HANNAHN, BEST - LIKED MASTERS ON , ONE OF THE BEST.KNOWN THE PACIFIC COAST. AND [From a photograph.] demanded its filing. Prior to that time they had not filed any papers in the case. The County Clerk refused to receive and file the paper unless a fee of $2 was paid. Plaintifis refused to pay the fee, and the paper has not. been filed. t is contended that it was the duty of the County Clerk to file the paper, as the law prescribed no fee for the filing, and that he had no authority of Jaw for de- manding a fee. The plaintiffs therefore ask for a _peremptory writ of mandate to compel County Clerk Curry to file the paper. £ | szument will be heard next Friday be- fore Judge Seawell, Department 1 of the | Superior Court. It is contended by the plaintiffs that the act of 1866 fixing the fees of County Clerks is still in force, ex- cept as affected by amendments of 1893 and 1895. The plaintiffs hold that the law of 1893 is unconstitutional, and therefore the main question to be decided is whether the act of 1866 is repealed by the act of | 1895. The court will be called upon to | construe the meaning of the constitution in its reference tocounties and cities and counties. It is understood that Mr. Curry, the County Clerk, will not interpose technical objections, but will consent, through his counsel, Messrs. Delmas & Shortridge, toa full submission of the cause, to the end that the controversy may be settled once and for all. The County Clerk was advised by the City and County Attorney that he (Curry) had no power to pass uvon the constitu- tionality of the act of 1895; but, on the con- trary, it was his duty to be suided by that law until otherwise directed by the court. For the convenience of lawyers and liti- gants, and for the knowledge to guide him to the proper conduct of the affairs of the office of County Clerk, Mr. Curry desires that all the points in dispute shall be adju- dicated. a discharge of dynamite. He lit the fuse and prepared to throw the stick into the water, when it fell out of his hand into the cabin. The result was a big hole in her stern and the narrow escape of all on board. After leaving the Fidelity Captain Han- nah was in command at different times of the steamers Eureka, Gypsy, Los Angeles, Alexander Duncan, Newport (now a whaler), Senator (now 2 hulkin Auckland, N.Z.)and latterly the Pomona. He was 55 years of age, and leaves a widow and family. At one time he lived at Santa Cruz, and he owns some property there. The funeral service will take place this morning and the remains will then be taken to Santa Cruz for interment. The pall-bearers will be selected from among the oldest employes of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. All the flags along the front were at half- mast out of respect to the memory of the deceased master, and all the vessels of the fleet will go out with them at halimast to- IMOTTOW. TRACKING THE FORGER. Did Dean Register at the Palace Hotel on December 77 So far as the police are concerned there are no new developments in regard to the big forgery by A. H. Dean on the Nevada Bank. Captain Lees is keeping the wires busy, but whether he has got any trace of the clever forger he will not say. The forger had seventeen days’' clear start, and by that time he couid have traveled by Jand and sea to the European continent if he went in that direction. On December 7 “Tom H. Dean, Chicago,” registered at the Palace Hotel. The hand- writing is large and flowing like the “A. H.
