COSTLY DUMMY BUNDLES The Stock-in-Trade of the Ex- German-American Laun- | dry. G. P. Rochel and Six Other Victims Cause the Arrest and Trial of Fred Albrecht. celve jurymen spent a pleasant and ctive afternoon yesterday in Judge rs’ courtroom. oy are men thoroughly unbiased or iprejudiced in regard to laundries or | drymen; men, in fact, who have never iown what itis to missa button on a lar-band or to get a nightshirt stiffened with starch. : l.lu s t‘::fu District Attorney Walter Hin- kle deserves the credit of getting this flock >f the rara avis together, and he took par- icular delight, after impaneling them, to put them through the kindergarten course aearly all the rest of the world was taueht ng ago. Tt was in the case of Frederigk Albrecht, who was indicted by the Grand Jury on bugust 30, 1805, on a charge of obtaining {and dishonor growing broader and blacker gamut in the prosecution of such cases, explained that it differed from the other swindles only that it was ‘*‘clean cut, laundried and highly polished; the vic. | tims of the defendant being done up in the most approved style.” From the testimony given at the trial vesterday and the side talk of the men who were called to court to give their testimony and who will only be put on the stand to-day, the case certainly is a peculiar one, G. P. Rochel is the complaining witness. He is hacked by M. Veit, P. H. Peterson, John Peltier, R. Schmitt, Isaac Jessup and Ellis Jones, men who are virtually unknown to each other, but who with few minor details ciaim to have the same Fs nces under which Rochel is fretting. Without entering into the merits of the case there are some features which came to light in the testimony and otherwise, yes- terday, which were amusing to the jury and to the hengers-on about the court. The main proposition is that Albrecht cauzed Rochel to give him $200 for 200 | shares of the German-American Laundry Association, incorporated. It was repre- sented that the institution was a tremen- dous affair with a main office at Lombard ana Gongh streets, and branch offices all | over the City. Rochel, it_appears from his testimony, | was first offered 100 shares of the 15,000 | capital stock for $100, and when he opened | his purse his alleged swindler saw there | was another $100 there. He therefore | promptly offered his proposed victim addi- | tional inducements in order to obtain the com. Rochel was offered the superinten- dency of the Mission-street branch at a salary of $12 per week. Rochel immedi- ately parted with his entire $200. He went to work the next day at 717 Mission street and for two consecutive ys he stood behind the counter waiting for customers to come in and cail for the bundles of linen piled eight rows high in the back. He waited in vain and was be- ginning to despair when Albrecht came to him with instructions to go off to South 15 THE DISCOVERY LOST? Captain and Crew Are Supposed to Have Gone Down With Her. LITTLE HOPE ENTERTAINED. The Master Was to Have Been Wedded When the Barkentine Reached Port. The barkentine Discovery has™ at last been given up for lost. On several occa- sions 1tems referring to her long passage and general unseaworthiness have ap- peared in the papers, but there was always a hope held out that she might turn up. The vessel is now out thirty-seven days from Port Gamble, and in view of the fact that half a dozen storms have raged along the coast during that period the chances are that she has gone to the bottom with all hands. ‘“We have not given up all hope even yet,” said J. Kentfield, the man- aging owner of the Discovery, “but I must admit the chances are against the vessel ever showing up. She was a very fast sailer and thirty-six days is an unusually long trip even for a slow vessel.”’ The barkentine Discovery sailed from | Port Gamble on January 20 last with the | from any exposing i or distributing milk n the City and County of San Franeisco, not exeeeding, however, one quart thereof, such sample 10 be taken and sealed in full View and in the presence of the person from whom seid sample is taken, and shall then and there furnish to the person from whom such milk is taken one-halfi of such sampie hermetically sealed and shall deliver to the said Board of Health immediately the sample so taken hermetically sealed. Stuch sample shall have written thereon at the time of the delivery thereof to said Board of Health the number of the dealer's permit, and the date of the obtain- ment of the sample, and the name of the per- son by whom it is taken, and a memorandum thereof shall be made by the Derson obtaining such sample in & book kept for that purpose in the office of the Board of Health, showing the name of the owner or drivers from whom, and the date when the same Was taken,and the number of the dealer’s permit. Mr. Stephens’ driver, Philip Shine, makes affidavit that Inspector Dockery took the sampies and carried them into a building out of bis sight, afterward de- livering to him a botitle containing some milk, which the affiant was informed was taken from his wagon. The driver declares that he conld not tell whether the milk delivered to him was taken from his wagon or not, as the alleged division was made out of his sight and while no other wagons were being de- tained and examined by the Inspector. The Inspector then ordered the milk dumped into the bay, stating that it con- tained a preserving preparation that ren- dered it unfit for human use. The complaint is also supported by an aflidavit from Manuel Silvera, who shinped the milk, stating that be placed the milk on board tne cars at Ignacio station, Marin County, and that the milk was absolutely pure and contained no adulter- ants or foreign matter whatever. The California Milk Producers’ Associa- tion also sent in a complaint objecting to the manner in which the inspector per- forms his duties. The association com- plains that discrimination has been used. and that milk from the same ranch and person, persons or concern selling or or sale or exchenging or. delivering The Barkentine Discovery, Which Is Supposed to Have Gone Down ¥ [Drawn by a “Call” artist from a painting. Vith All Hands, San Francisco to’ break a_fractious horse, | which would soon be needed in the busi- " ness, which, he said, was building up | rapidly in tie main ofice at Lombard and | Gough streets. ;. Rochel was away two weeks in his horse- | breaking experience, nearly fracturing his backbone and a limb or two. In the mean- | time M. Veit, a young German, was Al-| brecht’s victim. | The inducements offered him were | identical with those offered Rochel, but Veit was of a more inquiring frame of | mind. He was left alone in the Mission- | street shop, and he had nothing to do better than looking into the bundles packed up on the shelves. Instead of clot..es, he found they were packed with old papers and rubbish. Rochel ventured in town from his horse- breaking expedition, and be and Ve compared notes, which resulted in the two calling on Albrecht and demanding bac their money. Instead of coin Albrecht | gave them some sound advice to never go | into any business with which they were not familjar. He laughed at their discomfiture and told them to ‘“never mind a little thing like that. Therc will be more suckers | along very soon,’” he said, “and we'll make it all right.”” 2ochel Plnced the matter before Attor- ney Hinkle, who speedily got Albrecht in- dicted by the Grand Jury. But prior to the Rochel and Veit cases it appears Albrecht ran foul of a victim who proved somewhat of a Tartar. It was Isaac Jessup,a man of some means, who desired to purchase an interest in some business for his younger son. Mr. Jessup paid Albrecht $300, purchased some ma- chines for the purpose of conducting a laundry, and installed his son in the Mis- sion-street branch. The lad soon realized that his father had been swindled and toid bim sc. The old 1 gentleman “jumped” Albrecht. who, find- ing himself hard pressed, promised to give back the money he had received. But he was short of cash just then, and the best he could do was to give his personal note for $350 and a chattel mortgage on all the German-American Laundry Association’s property. While Mr. Jessup was thus the sole pro- prietor, Albrecht kept on selling stock in the corporation on the good front made by the rows of dummy clothes bundles on the shelves of the Mission-street branch. The other victims of Albrecht and khis one-man corporation will be heara to-day in Judge Bahrs’' court. WANT THEIR MONEY. Associated Creditors of the Clty and County Address the Board of Supervisors. The Associated Creditors of the City and County have addressed the Board of Su- pervisors in a neat pamphlet on the sub- ject of the amounts due its members from the City. The circalar says: 1f the Supervisors sit supine in their seats and take 1o action, neglecting the duties they owe to their constituents and to the enti body politic, the so-called fioating indebred- | ness of the City becomes a cloud of discredit irom year to year and spreading like a pail over our municipal financial system. ‘That your honorable body may have as com- plete an exposition as possible” of the extent and variety of the unsatistied claims against the City, We present ior your consideration the names of many well-known firms and citizens engaged in a diversity of com- mercial pursuits whose demands agginst the City mgeregate approximately $20,000, and who are joined with us in this appeal for ac- n at once by your honorable body in the matter of the satisfaction of the existing in- debtedness of this City. This array of individuals and firms of influ- ence and prominence in this community, always responding readily and cheerfully to | all calls in the advancement of community in- ierests, view with much concern the prevail- ing apathy in this matter of the payment of the just demands against the City and sorely regret the activity which savors very much of repudiation. i We have persuaded them that our faith in our honorable body ix not without sound foundation, - Being confident that you will re- new your sincerely appreciated efforts in the satisfaction of these demands, we have the honor to remain, most respectfully yours, ASSOCIATED CREDITORS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCIECO.

Hanson; second mate, Ole Thorasen; cook, Peter Nelson, and seamen Alf Peterson, Thomas Scull, | Peter Neyland, Peter Severtsen, Edward Larsen and Martin Petterson. From that | day to this neither vessel nor crew have | ever been heard from. On the 5th inst. the bark Matilda arrived | at Port Townsend and the cavtain reported | that the day before he had passed through | a quantity of small broken lumber forty | miles west of Cape Flattery. In describ- | ing the scene the skipper said the sea was covered for.miles with floating timbers of all sizes. “‘Evidently,” added the captain, ‘‘some lumber vessel must have met with disaster.”” The supposition is that Captain utiansen, afier clearing Flattery, ran i y gale. His ship being ‘ten- | raid to face it, and attempt- | ed fo put about. In doingso the Discovery | became disabled, and being structurally | weak, soon went to pieces. The crew could do nothing with the boats, and if the | barkentine is gone all bands went wiv.hi ber, The lumber cargo of the Discovery was | owned by Pope « Talbot, and that firm is | satisfied that tho wreckage passed by the | Matilda was fror the barkentine. | “To make matters look even worse than they are,” said a ship captain yesterday, “the C. B. Kenny made the run in a little over a week, and the Dashing Wave, which left two days after the Discovery, came down in twelve or thirteen days. The Discovery neariy always made the run under two weeks, and now that she is out over five weeks I would not give much for her chances,” The Discovery was built at Port Discov- ery in 1874 and has been one of the most successful coasters trading in and out of San Francisco. fhe was always a fast ves- but all the cantains who commanded considered her ‘‘tender”—that is, a vessel that could not be depended upon during a severe ghle. This fact 1s another nail in her coflin according to shipmasters. This was to have been Captain Chris- tiansen’s Jast voyage as a bachelor. He was engaged to be married to a young lady from Tacoma on his return to San Fran- cisco, and she is now awaiting him here, Vo matter what anybody else thinks she has not given up hope, and i every barkentine that is reported she vainly looks for the Discovery. Captains who know the young lady well refuse to di- vulge her name, saying that matters are bad enough as they are without parading Ler name and her sorrow in the papers. Peter Neison, the cook, had also decided to leave the barkrntine when she arrived at this port. Wh=n he was paid off last trip he decided tcfseek another vessel, but Captain Christiansen overpersuaded him and he agreed t¢ make ‘““just one more voyage.”” The other members of the crew were well known in Sin Franeisco, and several of them were members of the Sailors’ U se. Marin Dairymen File Complaints Against the Milk In- spector. Longfellow School May Open on Mon- day Next—The Water-Front | Question Postponed. The dairymen of Marin County whose milk was recently dumped into the bay by Milk Inspector Dockery are very much in- censed against the inspector and have ad- dressed communications to the Board of Health, supported by affidavits, charging him with having violated the ordinance under which he is given authority to in- spect and seize milk and with discrimina- tion toward certain milkmen. The complaint of W. D. Stephens, pro- prietor of the Ross Valley Dairy, relates to section 13 of the ordinance, which readsas follows: Section 13. The Board of Health and all its officers, agenta and employes shall have the right at any time totakea sample of milk | this. similar in every respect was dumped in at least one instance and passed in another. The complaint is accompanied by a re- port from Thomas Price & Song, the chem- . Who state that the sample sent them for analysis—supposed to be ihe one given by Dockery to tue driver after orderin; the milk dumped as_impure—is pure #nid: contains no dangerous ingred.ents. An affidavit from the dairymen who shipped the milk was appended to the | complaint, stating that the milk sampled and ordered dumped by Dockery was pure and contained no preserving compounds whatever, and that moreover nothing of that character was ever kepton the ranch. The Milk Inspectordenies that he sealed or tested the samples out of sight of the drivers, except when they refused to leave their wagons, and affirms that all milk dumped into the bay was found to con- tain either preserving compounds or other foreign matter that rendered it unfit for use. He says he will bring ample proof of The matter was referred to the Milk Committee for investigation. Owing to the absence of Mayor Sutro from the meeting of the Board of Health the reports of the experts who recently analyzed the water from the various Spring Valley reservoirs were not opened vesterday, but were laid over until the next meeting. Members of the Board of Education were present to confer with the health oflicials in relation to the closing of the schools and the matter was discussed at length. A decision was finally teached to permit the Board of Education to make tempo- rary repairs by replacing the objectionable wooden vaults with galvanized- iron troughs and leave the matter of putting in new vaults until the summer vacation, By that time a decision will probably be reached by the Board of Education whether or not the Longfellow School will e consoiidated out of existence. The re- ps.rs to the school will probabiy be fin- ished by Saturday next and it will likely open on Monday, March 2. = Codarar il THE MEN WHO BUILD. Interesting Matters Before the Carpen- ters’ and Joiners’ District Council. Several matters of interest to the mem- bers of the local building trades unions came up last evening at the meeting of the District Council of Carpenters and Jowmers. The resignation of E. R. John- son as business agent for the carpenters was formally announced. Johnson will leave for Alaska on Saturday. C, P, Schadt, formerly president of the Dittrict Council, was appointed temporarily to fil the vacancy. In a few weeks the four car- penters’ unions will hold an election. There are already several candidates for the position in the field, anda het con- test 1s expected. communication was read from Car- penters’ Union No. 23, of Berkeley, an- nouncing that on May 1 the members of that union will demand $3 a day as the lowest rate of wages. The bosses have been notified of this demand so that they may make future contracts accordingly. District Organizer Malsbary has recently reiurned from Sacramento, where he has been doing “missionary work’ among the carpenters of that city. There are no car- penters’ unions in SBacramento, but the Journeymen received him with open arms, 80 he reported to the council last evening, and there is a movement on foot toward the formation of a carpenters’ union. On March 3 the carpenters and joiners of that city will hold a mass-meeting for the purpose of organization. Mr. Malsbary- stated that the Federated Trades of Sacra- mento indorsed his work and will give great assistance in the movement. As soon as the carpenters are organized the working-card system, the eight-hour a day and the $3 minimum of wages will be demanded. The district council is making great pr%pnmmions for a grand social reunion and “‘smoker” in the tempie on the even- g of March 7. Able speakers will ad- dress the meeting and sinfmg, reciiations, music and free cigars will be among the other attractions. Non-union men will be" received as cordially as union men. e — In India there is an idea that a lion can- not-be induced to attack a prince, or any scion of a royal house. ALONG THE WATER FRONT The Bark Strathdon Docked at the Union Iron Works for Repairs. HARD AT WORK ON THE QUEEN Harbor Commissioners Will Set Apart Section 4 for a Free Fruit Market. After Tuesday’s collision both the Queen and Strathdon were busy repairing dam- ages yesterday. The bark was taken in tow early in'the day by the tugs Fearless, Vigilant and Monarch and docked at the Union Iron Works. There she will receive a new bowsprit and all the other repairs necessary. Should the hull show any strain the cargo will be taken out and the ves- sel placed on the drydock. The repairs to the Strathdon are being paid for by Good- all, Perkins & Co. This is not an admis- sion of responsibility on the part of the company, but simply a desire to act in a liberal spirit and not unnecessarily delay a vessel that was ready for sea. While the bark is being repaired her agents will draw §123 a day demurrage for her deten- tion. The repairing of the Queen is being pushed. All the men that can possibly find room to work have been put on, and in consequence the steamer presented a very different appearance yesterday from what she did a few hours after the col- lision. All the wreckage has been cleared away and some of the repairs to the decks and railings have already begun. Inside of a fortuight it is hoped to have the Queen as good asnew. Word was received at the Merchants’ Exchange yesterday that the American ship Shenandoah had just completed a trip from San Francisco to New York-in the remarkably fine time of ninety-seven days. The voyage is not a record breaker, but still it is one of the best passages made in years. Captain Murphy, the com- mander of the Shenandoah, is well known in San Francisco, and his family live here. He is a general favorite among shipping men, and they will ail be glad to hear of the big ship’s smart run. Misfortune seems to have overtaken the opposition line of shippers just established between Philadelphia and San Francisco at tbe outset. The William S. Davis, which was to have been the first of the line, has been abandoned off Cape Hat- teras and it will be some time before an- other vessel can be secured to take her place. The Davis was ¢n her way from Manilla to Philadelphia to load for this vort when she ran into a succession of beavy gales that completely disabled her. As she was expected to go down at every moment the crew abandoned her. The Independent Boarding-masters’ As- sociation of San Francisco have issued the following circular and are spreading it broadcast on the water front: Yor the better government of shipping and for the protection of ship-owners and seamen, we, the undersigned, independent deep-water boarding masters, propose to do business at the following rates and under the following conditions: Wages for seamen mnot to exceed £4 per month; allotment not to exceed §40. - Men to be shipped free of charge to ship and seamen alike; boating free.

The old steamer Easterh Oregon, tor- merly of the Oregon I[mprovement Com- pany’s line, isto be broughtout of her retirement in Oakland Creek. A few days ago she was purchased by Charles Nelson, Lorentz Foard and others for $5000, and her days as a steamer are now over. The machinery will be taken out and the hold cleared out. Then the Eastern Oregon will be turned into a four-masted schooner, and itis rumored that the en- gines will be used to equip two new steam schooners. The Oregon was a twin-screw steamer, so she had two sets of engines, both of which can now be utilized. The steamer George W. Elder is having considerable trouble in getting rid of 10,000 cases of kerosene which she brought down from Portiand. Wharfinger George Dryden would not aliow the stuff to re- main on the wharf over night, so the Standard Oil Company, to which it be- longs, has been compelled to cart itaway assoon as it was discharged from the steamer. The wharfinger is only obeying a State law, which forbids the storing of coal oil on a wharf, but nevertheless it is proving very inconvenient to the steamar and the owners of the oil. The whaling bark Lydia is discharging 150 barrels of whale oil at Main street. ‘When she went out of commission last season the oil was kept in as ballast. Now that she is about to be refitted it is being taken out, and the bark will start on another cruise in a few weeks. The schooner Barbara Heinster is to have a gasoline engine put in her. This is on account of a vigorous protest made by the residents of Bowens landing. F. Hayward has a contract to carry ali the lumber produced in that part of the coun- try to San Francisco, and he has been doing it in sailing vessels. The people protested and said they wanted quicker | facilities. If some quickér power than sail was not forthcoming they said they would build steam schooners and run an opposition line. Hayward recognized that they were in earnest, and he at once began utting gasoline engines in his fleet. he R!omcrcy, Newark and Barbara Heinster are already equipped, and on her arrival here the El Rio Rey will be laid up to re- ceive her engines. The equipping of the four schooners will cost over $20,000, but it isthought that the increased speed and increased trade will more than recoup the outlay. The steamer San Jose will sail for Pana- ma and way ports on Saturday with a big cargo of general merchandise. - Chief En- gineer McLean and Chief Assistant Garvey. who remained over last trip for a rest, will go out on the vessel in their old positions, While the schooner W. Bartlett was unloading lumber at Mission Rock a timber fell on Henry Olsen, a brother of the captain, and seriously in- jured him. He was taken to St. Mary’s hosphnl, where his wounds were attended to. He will probable be about againina few days. Hereafter the revenue cutters will have ncthing on their sterns except the name. A great deal of scroll work and a coat-of- arms was on all of them, but all that is to be removed and everything now is to be of the plainest. All the cutters are to be white, and the work of transforming the Bear began yesterday. Orders to the above effect have. just arrived from Washington. The Harbor Commissioners practically decided yesterday to give section 4 of the seawall for a free fruit market. Thereis a shed or: it 500 feet long and 45 feet wide, 80 that there will be room forall. Itnow remains for the Merchants’ Association, the Horticultural Commission. and the fruit-growers to_ get together and make the affair a practical success. The Harbor Commissioners have gone as faras the law allows them, so nothing more can be expected from them. Président Colnon is arxious to see the thiug go through and hopes that the various organizations named-will come to an vnderstanding.

BECAUSE His reputation has been established by effecting CURES ot CHRONIC DISEASES IN MEN AND WOMEN where other physicians of acknowledged ability had failed. Diseases which'had reached a stage before which the most skilled and experienced physicians stood powerless have yielded to his treatment, and praise and gratitude are received from RICH and POOR. 7 ' : READER STOP i.icaon cvcrwnaiming testioons. It means that a cure is effected of every case that is under= taken. ACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS, GHRONIC AND WASTING DISEASES Of the Throat, Lungs, Heart, Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys and GENITO-URINARY ORGANS have been Doctor Sweany’s study for life. There are cases of this character which, through neg- lect or improper treatment, are beyond medical aid, but there are many more given up as hopeless simply because incompe-~ tent physicians have failed to effect a cure. This especially applies to diseases of the BLOOD and the GENITO-URINARY ORGANS, and Doctor Sweany yearly saves thousands from be- coming mental and sexual wrecks. YOUNG, MIDDLE-AGED AND OLD MEN, If you are suffering from the effects of early indiscretions, ex« cesses, emissions and unnatural losses, which rob the blood of its richness and the body of its animating influences, which enfeeble the constitution and finally result in Impotency, Paralysis, Softening of the Brain and Insanity; if you are tor- mented with morbid fear and your days are passed with dis- tressing thoughts of your disease, if you are unfit for the every day duties of life, if you have any cr all of those symptoms you are suffering from SEMINAL WEAKNESS, NERVOUS DEBIL- ITY and their kindred causes. & THE FIRST THING T0 DO In order to get cured is to cast aside alli false modesty and place yourself under the treatment of this noted specialist. His experience in the treatment of such diseases has been world-wide. He has cured thousands of others and CAN CURE YOU. GONORRHOEA, GLEET, STRICTURE, and that terrible and loathsome disease, SYPHILIS, thoroughly and forever cured. THE POOR, who call at his offices on Friday afternoons, are welgome to the doctor’s valuable services free of charge. WRITE Your troubles if living away from the -city. Thousands are cured at home by means of correspondence and n.edicines sentthem. Doctor Sweany’s patients will get all the advan- tages of experience and travel in Europe with diligent study in her best Medical Institutions. Letters are answered in ENG~ LISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SWEDISH, NORWEGIAN and DANISH. NAMES of patients or their diseases are riot published or exposed, but there are thousands of testimonials on file in Doctor Sweany’s private office. They are voluntarily given as true, deep and sincere expressions of gratitude from our mer- chants, manufacturers, mechanics, farmers, lawyers, laborers and literary people, who have been cured by him and made happy. Itis a part of judgment and sense to seek Doctor Sweany first, instead of squandering away time and money upon the uncertainties of patent medicine and picayune spe- cialists.
