The Men Were Lost While Attempt. ing to Rescue the Chief Officer. Of the many disasters reported during the recent gales, that of the four-masted schooner Golden Shore is the worst. The vessel weathered the southeasters, and Golden Shore will sail agein for Mel- bourne, Australia. WAS NOT NATIVE BORN. Wong Sing Hong, Who Was Illegally Imported by Wong Sam, Denies That She Was Born 1n Alameda. One of Wong Sam’s imported Chinese women confessed to Assistant United States District Attorney Bert Schlessinger yesterday that she had been unlawiully brought to this country and landed. Her name was Wong Sin Hong, and for her it | had been represented thatshe was a na- tive daughter and born in Alameda. Wong Sam had made out her certificate. | Altogether he imported three $1000 slaves, | not by the Atlanta Fair scheme, however. | The other two women were Chung Sun Kwai and Jew Ah Fung. THE CALL pub- lished an affidavit from Jew Ah Yuns sowme time ago in which she said she ha been sold by her mother in Hongkong to a woman and tuat she had been consigned to SanjFrancisco. | Through Wong Sam’s efforts two men | were also illegally landed. They were Om ! { Lunvg and Jew Ah Tie. Wong Sin Hong will now be deported, as ALONG THE WATER FRONT, Narrow Escape of the Tug Mon- arch on the Bar Last Tuesday Night, RUNAWAY THIEVES WANTED. The Schooners Orient and Gotama in Collision and Badly Damaged. The tugboat Monarch, owned by the Shipowners’ and Merchants’ Towboat Company, had a very narrow escape on the bar last Tuesday night. She was passing The Four - Masted Schooner Golden Shore, Which Had to Put Into Port on Ac count of Losing the Chief Officer and two of the Crew During the Recent Southeaster. when everything seemed to be all right and nothing but plain sailing ahead the chief officer was washed overboard, and in an attempt to rescue him two of the crew were drowned. The second mate was not a navigator, but nevertheless he was a thorough sea- man, and that was more than could be said of the four men who formed the rest of the crew. They were green hands put aboard at Port Townsend, and the only other men aboard were two Japanese. Had it not been for these men—one the steward and the other the cook—the ! chances are the Golden Shore would never have been heard from again. While the ‘“‘seamen’’ could not do anything to help, the cook and steward took their trick at the wheel and also did their work in the galley. The Golden Shore left Port Blakeley twenty-nine uaysago, bound for Australia. A storm was raging at the time and she put into Clallam Bay for shelter. Aftera wait of over a week Captain Henderson squared his sails and made another start for Melbourne. Off Cape Flattery some heavy weather was encountered, but all went well until the 8th inst., when a heavy head sea was ‘“‘being bucked into.”’ The | weather looked threatening and the order to shorten sail was given. As the majority of the crew knew nothing at all about working a ship the mate went forward to show them what to do and at the same time help out. It was Magnus Johnson, one of the best known shipmasters in California. F years he ran on the sugar-boats to Hawaii and for a long time was captain cf the Aloba. Latterly there has been very little doing in the island trade, and sooner than remain idle ashore he took a position as first mate on the Golden Shore. He was born on one of the Shetland Islands, was about 50 years of age and a thorough navi- gator. He used to live at 335 Tenth street, and his only relatives are a sister-in-law and two nieces. The fatality seems a simple matter when told in cold print, but to the captain and men left aboard the big schooner it meant a question of life and death. A reef was heing taken in the spanker and Johnson was laying down the law to the “‘zreen | hands’” that a reef point was not made to | Of such real owners, but in every case haul on, but to tie up the sail. At the time he had one of the reef pointsin his hand, and just at the moment the Golden Shore gave a heavy roll and Johnson fell. He beld on to the rope, but a heavy sea that broke aboard carried him away. The second mate saw the accident and he yelled *Man overboard.” Captain Henderson ran to the wheel and, putting the vessel up in the wind, ordered a boat lowered. Robert Pierson, aged 23 years, a native of the Jersey Islands, and James Conway, aged 28 years, a native of Boston, were the only two men in the crew that knew anything about handling a_hoat, and they were ordered to man her. Before they could get away a seacamealong, tore the boat out of the davits and neither boat nor men were ever seen again. Since that time the captain, second mate and Japanese steward and cook have worked the vessel into port. The other four mem- bers of the crew were practically useless, as they were afraid to go aloft. ““lt ‘was the most disastrous voyage I have ever attempted,”” said Captain Hen- derson yesterday when the Golden Shore had come to an anchor off Meiggs wharf. *‘How Johnson came to be washed away is a mystery to me. He was a thorough sea- man and one of the best all-around fellows I ever met. Some of our crew were green hands and he was careful to explain to them that the reef points were not to be hauled on, but to tie up the sail. 1 guess he was illustrating his story, because he had a reef point in his hand when he was washed away. “I saw him plainly in the water and strange to say he did not appear to be swimming, but lay face downward in the water. Iordered a boat lowered and run- ning aft took the painter of the gig and made it fast to the rail. With the painter fast the boat would have been held fore and aft, but either Pierson or Conway let it go and when it was near the watera wave caught it broadside on and not only swept it away but pulled the davits out of :hel schooner and carried away part of the rail. “‘The boat turned over and over several times, and finally davits, boat and men went out of sight. When we had time to look around again Mate Johnson was also one.” E From that time until the Golden Shore reached San Francisco Captain Henderson has been on watch. Whenever sail had to be made the wheel was left in charge of one of the ‘‘green hands,”’ and the cap- tain and second mate went aloft to furl or maxe sail or do any other necessary work. ‘When the vessel reached port yesterday the master looked as though he had not been asleep for a month. His face was inflamed by the wind and sea, and his eyves looked like two holes burned in a blanket.

Judge Seawell has decided the case of | Theodore Fox vs. the directors of the | | Consolidated California and Virginia Min- | ing Company in favor of the defendant directors. The suit was to set aside an election held on October 21, 1895, at which the de- | fendants were elected. At the election, of | the 216,000 shares of stock of the company | 130,355 were voted, and of these last-namea | shares 129,323 were voted by Fish, one of | the directors, who held most of them by | proxy. The stock voted by Fish stood in the | names of various people as trustees. | Neither the books of the corporation nor | the certificates of stock disclosed the | names of the persons for whom the stock | was held in trust. | It was claimed that all the stock stand- | ing in the name of a trustee was illegally | voted and that the persons named as trustees in the certificates were not legally | stockholders. | Under the act of April 23, 1880, it was | provided that “all stock in each and every | mining corporation in this State shall stand lon the books of said company in ail | | cases in the names of the real owners of | such stock or in the names of the trustees | where such stock shall stand in the name | of a trustee the party for whom he holds | shall be designated upon said books and | | also in the body of the certificate of such | stock.”” This section, the court holds, is in con- flict with section 25, article 4, of the consti- | tution,which provides the Legislature shall | | not pass special laws in any case where a | general lay can be made applicable. There | 15 no reason, the court held, why a law | requiring the name of the beneficial owner | of the stock of & mining corporation to appear on the books or in the certificate which would not equally apply to any cor- | poration for profit. There was no evidence that the stock issued to the trustees-was issued withont the owners’ consent, and therefore the court held that their consent must be inferred. The stock was therefore legally issued, and the mere fact that the trustees had no real ownership in the stock other than as holders of the legal title does not impair their right to vote the stock so long as the beneficial owners make no objec- tion. By permitting the stock to remain in the hands of the trustees the owner tacitly consented to allow it to be voted at all elections. Whether the stock should be voted by the person in whose name the stoclk stands or by the holder of the certifi- cate, so long as the latter does not object, is a matter between them alone, with which a stranger has no concern. Judgment was entered confirming the election of the individual defendants as directors of the corporation named. RETIRED ON PENSIONS." Five Schoolteachers Granted Annuities Under the Act of the Legislature. Mayor Sutro, Superintendent of Schools Babcock and Treasurer Widber met ves- terday to consider the applications of Miss Letitia Pyder, T8, AL St. John, Mrs. Laura D. Hopkins, Mrs. M. J. Cline and Mrs. M. H. Currier, school- teachers who desire to be retired under the act of the Legislature creating a teachers’ pension fund and permitting teachers to give up their labors on an annuity. The applications were granted, and pensions were ordered for all, Mrs. Hopkins to re- ceive $45 per month and the rest $50. ——————— Hermann Loses His Suit. First Mate Charles Hermann of the Katie Davenport, who sued the Port Blakeley Mill Company for $10,000 damages before United States District Judge Morrow to compensate Lim for a broken leg, has lost his suit. He was helping 1o load his vessel with lumber at the time of the accident at Port Blakeley, and the circumstance against him was that the com- pany was able wcrrove that the injury to Her- mann was caused by a fellow-employe's care- Iessuess, and that the COmPANY Was ot respon. sible for the fellow-servant's wrong act. - | had in when a giant comber came along and swept her from stem to stern. Her side lights were washed away and all her haw- sers went over with the receding waters, The wave even washed into the pilot-house, but Captain Dan Thompson succeeded in keeping the vessel on her course and anaged to dodge the next sea that came along. The Monarch passed up the bay under a slow bell, as the captain did not care to make speed when he had no lights out. Superintendent Gray of the Towboat Company said that outside of the loss of her hawsers and sidelights the Monarch sustained no damage. Yesterday afternoon she was sent out and picked up the anchor of the Occident, which that mouth of the Coquille River. No lives were lost. The vessel may be floated. FREE-MARKET CONVL:NTION. A Proposition to Have the Granges Aid the Local Movement. At arecent meeting of the California Fruit Exchange Edwards & Edwards were appointed to confer with the special com- mittee of the Merchants’ Association hay- ing in charge the matter of establishinga public market. The exchange declared in favor of such a market and promised to do allin its power to help the thing along. Yesterday Mr. Edwards called opon Sec- retary Fread, with whom he held a long conversation. Mr. Edwards made a sug- gestion that may be favored and acted upon. With a public market in view, he suggested that a convention be held under the auspices of the Merchants’ Association, of the State Grange aud branch granges, the Fruit-growers’ Association and kin- dred bodies, in fact, all producers who would like to come in direct contact with the consumers, and who are not satisfied with their dealings with the middlemen. He believed that the granges almost as far south as Los Angeles would enter heartily into a_movement whereby their members could be freed from the taxim- posed by the commission merchants. Mr. Edwards was told that he would have to submit his proposition , to Mr. Kohlberg, the chairman of the free-market committee, who will present it to the as- sociation at the meeting to-night. THE ACCOUNTS DIFFERED. Why H. st D. Luce Lost a Case in the Justices’ Court. A peculiar state of affairs in the books of the W. R. Larzelere Commission Company was brought to light ir Justice Cook’s court yesterday in the suit of H. D. Luce against M. Culiaghan and wife, The com- pany transferred a claim against the de- fendants to Luce, who brought suit for $236 35. The testimony brought out the | fact that three sets of books are kept by the company. One of these showed that the Callaghan account was closed on June 8, 1892, while another showed that the date of closing was October 13 of the same year. Attorney H. K. Asher, who appeared for the defendants, pleaded the statute of | limitations, and threw so much doubt on the correctness of the accounts that his clients were given a verdict. SENT THREATS Y WAL Arrest of Salesman J. J. Sul- livan by Postal Inspector Thrall, The Person Addressed Was a Witness in a Suit His Wife Had Brought for Support. One of the salesmen for D. N. and E. Walter & Co., carpet dealers at 539 Market street, J. J. Sullivan by name, was ar- rested by Postoffice Inspector Thrall yes- terday afternoon for sending a threaten- ing lotter to Miss Minnie Grundell of 1512 Pacific street.

BLOOMERS FOR COMFORT, Miss Brown Gives Some Excel- lent Reasons for Her Dress Reform. | { A BANGLE ON A FINGER-NAIL Earns Her Own Living and Says She | Is Not a New Woman and Would | Not Vote. “I wear bloomers for comfort and clean- | liness during bad weather. I am not a | new woman, and I would not vote if the | opportunity were presented. I have nore- forms to accomplish, and I am perfectly | satisfied with my attire.”’ This is the pith of the causes Miss ¥, E. Brown offers for wearing bloomers during rainy weather. The young lady can be seen alniost any rainy day, when she has business to transact, dressed in th2 cos- tume which she believes will ultimately | be worn by her sex, and which she claims is the logical way to dress at this season of the year. “I have been wearing bloomers for nearly a year now,” said Miss Brown in results. I have a great deal of walking to | do, and when the weether is wet and the wind rampant I find that I am very com- fortably clothed. A little less than a year ago I went into the business of selling | groceries for a wholesale house on Pine | street—Howard H. Hogan —and found that it wes necessary for me to be on the | move all the time I was working. During | the good weather my skirts are very com- fortable, and then I wear them, but when it rains and the streets and pave- | ments become sloppy and damp, I can see | no reason why women, as well as men, | should not take some measures to keep dry. | ‘)‘I cannot for the life of me understand | how women can travel around and sweep | up the mud with the edges of their skirts | without sooner or later doing something | to overcome such unpleasant results. It | is not only uncomfortable but very un- | healthy for ladies to gather up the refuse | vessel lost off Meiggs wharf during the recent storm. The harbor police searched the steamer Santa Rosa diligently yesterday for two lads named Clem Lacombe and Charles Cleel. The youngsters told a pitiful tale to James Patterson of the Pacific Saw Works at 17-19 Fremont street, and that gentleman took them in. They said tbey had come here from the East and were starving, although they had again and again tried to get work. In return for Pattersen’s kindness they stole jewelry valued at $400 from his residence on Union street, near Taylor, and disappeared. They were traced to the Santa Rosa, but although a diligent search of the vessel was made no trace of them could be found. The police think the youngsters were two of an Eastern gang of crooks and expect to hear of them again in a few days. In the meantime Patterson is out his diamond studs and gold watch and has lost his faith in destitute boys. The steamer Walla Walla from Puget Sound ports did not get in until 4 A. . yesterday. She encountered very heavy head seas and southeasterly weather that caused her delay, She brought down eight prisoners who were sentenced to various terms in San Quentin at Sitka, and whose stortes were fully told in the telegraphic dispatches from Port Town- send. Seal-hunters are in demand in Japanese waters. By the last steamer Donald Ross of Ross & Hewlett received a request to send over five good men, and he is now on the lookout for them. They will probably be sent over on the Coptic. The British bark Sharpshooter, which was sold last Tuesday for $2260, is to be turned into a barkentine. She wiil be re- fitted by the J. F. Cunningham Company. and when Captain Luttrell returnsin the Viking he will take her out on a trading cruise to Samoa, Hawaii and the Gilbert, Solomon and Marquesas groups. The Harbor Commissioners yesterday appointed John Reed to be captain of State dredger No.l, Reed wes formerly assis- tant engineer on State dredger No. 2, and bis place has been taken by N. H. Tod- man, the latter being succeeded as night watchman by John Dennigan. The schooner Gotama, Captain Brissen, and the schooner Orient, Captain Mitchell, both bound for Coos Bay, had a drifting race out between the heads yesterday after- noon. ! The sea was rolling heavily without a breath of wind, but the vessels were mak- ing good speed on the outrunning tide until they reached the nine-fathom buoy. Then a "big toppling wave threw them together with a furious bump. At the first shock the Orient lost her bowsprit, and had her headgear carried away. On the next roll of the swell she returned the blow by falling heavily agamst the port side of the Gotama, crushing her bulwarks and tearing her sails into ribbons. The rigging was carried away and the upper works of the vessel badly damaged. The schooners slogged each other at every roll of the swell for several minutes, tiil finally they drifted apart. The tug Active came nlon(‘z}:nd the cap- tain of the almost wrecked tama gladly availed himself of a tow back to this City. She was anchored off Powell street about 8 o’clock last evening. Captain Mitchell of the Orient declined assistance and set to work repairing his bowsprit and damage to his gear. He con- tinued on his way to Coos Bay. The American ship Roanoke, 216 days from New York, is outside the heads and wiil come into the harbor this morn- ing. Her long voyage is due to having put into a South American port for re- pairs of damages in a gale. She is a four- master, the largest American ship afloat and is a sister ship to the Shenan- doah and Susquehanna, all three being built at Bath, Maine, by Seawell & Co. A fourth big ship built by this firm was lost. The Roanoke is 311 feet in length, almost 50 feet beam and 29 feet deep. She is of 3400 tons burden. The steamer Farallon arrived from Yaquina Bay last night, being overa day late on account of rough weather. The British ship Celtecburn arrived last night from Newcastle, Australia. The little schooner Lila and Mattie, which left this port for the north on Jan- | vary 17, went azround last evening at the Miss F. E. Brown, Who Wears Bloomers [Reproduced fro; Improvement on Skirts. \\3\\\ AN When It Rains and Says They Are an m a photograph.] which body all the facts were placed. It seems that Miss Grundell was a wit- ness to the signing of an agreement be- tween Sullivan and his wife which had been called into question recently in Judge Hebbard’s court in a suit she had brought for the maintenance of herself and six- months old child. To hiswife’s complaint Sullivan filed an answer stating that on the day of their marriage she had entered into an agreement by which his wife prom- ised to never ask him for any support, and shortly after he entered a counter suit asking for the annuiment of the marriage. Sullivan claims that the child is not his. As to the agreement 1tself Mrs. Sullivan has admittea that she made it, but she ex- plains that she had not read itand did not know what it was, Sullivan having misrepresented the contents to her. Miss Grundell’s part in the matter was simply that she made an affidavit as to what had transpired between Sullivan and his wife before the agreement was signed. This affidayit Sullivan says did not state facts and he wantea Miss Grund-ll to make another one in Attorney Deuprey’s office, but she refused. Then Sullivan sent u threatening letter to her, teiling her he would make it hot for her. He sent her a postal-card on January 6, also threat- ening her. The postal-card read: JANUARY 6, 1896, Miss Minnic Grundell: Please ksep vour prom- ise and go to Mr. Deupreys office at 405 Kearny street, immediately, and you will save yourseli a great deal of trouble. I'm liable to get mac, Minnie, and I'll tell all Iknow concerning you, etc.,so take a fool’s adyice and do as you are asked, and simply tell the truth. That is all I expect. If you are not there by Saturday moon I'll send the Sheriff’s man after you to actas escort. Respectfully, J.J. SULLIVA! Minnie was not scared, and the Sheriff’s man went in the other direction. BT g Entered by Burglars. The barber-shop of F. Maurer, 114 Hayes street, was entered by burglars on Sunday night, who selected_several articles and took their departure. Entrance was effected by forcing open the door with & “jimmy.” This is the third time within & few months that the shop bas been visited by burglars. The police have been notified. noon by the Federal Grand Jury, before | of the sidewalks with the hem of the skirts, and just as long as | have my say in the matter I will continue to wear | bloomers and high-topped boots. You have no idea how little I care for people | who stare at me. I have quite got | over paying any attention to them. At | first Tused to be annoyed by the foolish | little girls who sniggered and tittered, but T no longer regard them in any way. I enter the cars when it is necessary and make myself as comfortable asanybody there. ‘‘Sensible people pay no attention to me and a great many ladies appear to under- stand that Iam doing the right thing. I believe a good many more women would do likewise if they could only bury that false modesty and understand that their health and. comfort would be augmented by such a course. *‘Yes, as vou have observed, I look healthy and "am healthy. I have gained twenty pounds in the last few months and never felt better in my life. I actribute it all to the fact that I adopted what seemed to suit me best and stuck to it. It is easier to wdlk in bloomers than in skirts and there is a certain feeling of comfort that none can understand who have not experi- enced it.” Miss Brown certainly looked healthy in every sense, of the word. Her color was fresh and rosy, while her eyes sparkled like Maud Muller’s must have done when ehe finished raking that celebrated meadow “'sweet with hay.”” Her manner of speech was quiet and reserved, while an unaf- fected modesty marked her entire conver- sation. She talkea of bloomers just as though she had thought tne whole thing out carefully and believed she was right. “One hears a good d=al about women who want certain rights,”” she resumed, *‘and I have no doubt they are entitled to them, at least sofar as they are personally concerned. A great many of them want to take the place of men, yet they do noth- ing to prove their right to occupy any of the walks followed by the opposite sex. It is a good plan when you want to do a reasonable thing to do it quietly, if 1t can be done honestly. In my case I found that it was necessary for me tc go out and make my own living, so I entered im- mediately into the work of canvassing the |19 | neat appearance. would not last long i any occupation, but with my bloomers 1t is comfortable, in- vigorating and in every way satisfactory. Mind you, I do not wear them all the time, asa properly made aress is good for all purposes when the weather permits, but when it rains I take to my bloomers and thank heaven I am permitted to enjoy them.” Miss Brown as a little side fancy wears a small gold bangle, consisting of the seal of California, on the finger-nail of her right hand. It is fastened to the end of the nail by a small ring running through a hole in the bangle, the nail being about an inch long and nicely manicured. *I putiton my finger-nail when it was short and have let it grow out to its present length. It i merely a fancy of mine and enables me feel a little diiferent from other people. I suppose we all have whims and why not Miss Brown when dressed in her chosen bad-weather attire presents a very Her boots are laced in front and reach to the knee.
