Orr made a successful plea before the United States District Court yesterday, asking that his quarters be changed from the County Jail 1 this City to the Alameda jail. Orr is oneof the most cruel second mates who have ever sailed into port. On March 4 he was sen- tenced to one month’s imprisonment for nearly beating to death a sailor named J. W. Smith. In his plea Orr claimed that the local NEW EPISCOPAL MISSICN South San Francisco Is About to Build Itself a Church. FIRST IN THE COMMUNITY. At Present the Town Has No Place of Worship—Tasteful Plans Are Accepted. ‘Work will be commenced in the course of the next few weeks on the first church [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] i Ingalls yesterday and two men were in- jured. The foremast was old and rotten and an attempt was made to instep it. When | the stays were loosened it fell and crushed the life out of James Groves, a rigger, who lived on Vicksburg street, near Twenty- fourth. The accident was a peculiar one and was due in a great measure to the rotten- | ness of the mast. J. J. Hairside, who had | charge of the work, had the shears with which the spar was to be instepped erect- | ed early in the day. The task was con- sidered a risky one, but very little precau- tion was taken to guard agsinstan acci- dent. When everything was ready Gus Mali- trus, employed by Hairside as a ricger, was sent aloft to adjust the stays in order that thc mast might be unloosened at the bottom. He made his way rapidly up the mast while a crowd on the wha nd sev- eral people on the vessel's deck watched his progress. Among the people on the deck was Groves. ‘When Malitrus was almost at the end of his climb the stays gave way and the mast fell with a crash. The rigger realized his danger in an instant and sprang from the foremast into the rigging of the main- mast. He lost his hoid, however, and fell to the deck, sustaining a severe contusion of the side and an abrasion of the leg. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital and treated, after which he went to his home in East Berkeley. Groves saw the mast coming and tried to get away, but was pinned to the deck | before he could make his escape. His back and both legs were broken and he ! died a few minutes after kaving been ex- tricated. His body was taken to the| Morgue. | Initscourse the mast smashed one of | the boats into splinters and crashed | through the after deckhouse. Mate A. B. | Anderson was in the cabin and had a nar- ! row escape. He had resigned his position | and was packing his belongings prepara. | | tory to gouing ashore. He had just puton | | bis bat when the mast crushéd through | the cabin and knocked it off bis head and gave him a severe scalp wound. He was | | after getting his things ashore went away congratulating himself on his narrow escape. The Ingalls seems to have been in very | hard luck of late. 1t is mot long ago that she arrived here from Mexican ports very short of provisions. When off the Farall-| {ones all that there was leit aboard was | some flour and brackish water, and on | that the crew had been subsisting for over | a2 weeck. When. she was docked it was discovered that her masts were dryrotied | and would have to be replaced before the schooner could sail on another voyage. | | While this was being done the fataliiy occurred. “TRUSTIES” GET DRUNK. V. Veso, a Restaurant Waiter, Arrested for Carrying Liquor Into the City Prison. V. Veso, waiter in a restaurant on Mc- Allister street, opposite the City Hall, was arrested yesterday morning by OCaptain Robinson and booked on the charge of carrying whisky into the prison. He was released on $300 bonds. Captain Robinson had been noticing for | some days that the ‘‘trusties’” in the prison were in & condition of semi-intoxi- cation, and one of them was so drunk on Wednesday that he had to be locked up in a cell. A search was made and several empty flasks were found hidden under the mattresses in the beds of the ‘“‘trusties.”” Several more were found in a cell where buckets and other utensils were kept. Suspicion fell upon Veso, who supplied meals to prisoners able to pay for them, | and yesterday morning, when he entered the prison with his tray, he was searched | and a flask of whisky was found in his| pocket. He confessed that he had been supplying the ‘‘trusties’” with the liquor. He charged them a liberal commission, | sometimes 100 per cent. He will not be | permitted to supply meals to prisoners | any more. ———— ' PATIENCE REWARDED. | | Mrs. Susan Coon After Nearly a Month’s Siege is Arrested. Mrs. Susan Coon, 927 Howard street, who in July last was sentenced 1n the Po- lice Court to six months’ imprisonment for cruelty to Elmer Johnston, a boy living with her, has given the officers of the So- | ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to| Children considerable trouble. She appealed to the Superior Court from the sentence, and on February 10 the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. She was out on appeal bonds, and when jail was filled with filth and murderers, neither of which be cared to mingle with. Then again he claimed his health was being seriously impaired by the bad sewerage. JEWELER SCHMIDT GONE. Locks Up His Store, at 1034 Mar- ket Street, and Departs Secretly. His Liabilities Are About $18,000, Half of Which Is Due Local Creditors. Peter P. Schmidt, a jeweler who has been doing business at 1034 Market street for several years, is missing, or, rather, is absent, for there is no mystery regarding the reason of his departure. Creditors holding bills amounting to about $15,000 or $18,000 would like to know more regarding his affairs. Itisnot known justthe date of Schmidt’s departure, but it is thought that he locked up his store and left about the first of last week. For some time his affairs have been unsatisfactory to his creditors. Efforts were made to get some kind of a settlement, but no action was taken till iast Friday, when a Deputy Sheriff came | down on the place with & writ of attach- ment. Then he found that the jeweler had plumed himself for flight and went well loaded with the contents of the es- tablishment. The store was literally emptied of everything of any great value. Diamonds, watches and a large number of other costly articles that were known to have been in stock had disappeared with the disappearing proprietor. It is not yet known how much Schmidt’s | liabilities are, but it is known that his debts to Jocal firms will reach $3000 and that he owes Kastern jewelry firms an equal sum. His principal creditors here are: Carrau & Green, A. Green, A. Eisen- berg & Co., A. I. Hall & Son, E. Hirsch- field & Co., Nordmann Bros., Armer & Weinshenk, California Optical Company, L. A. Giaccobbi, George Greenzweig & Co. A member of the firm of Carrau & Green, 290 Sutter street, stated yesterday that Schmidt’s failure and flight amounted to downright felony, as he carried away all the valuable stock in his store. Warrants will be sworn out for his arrest, and he will be cnarged with defrauding his credi- tors. Attorney A. Heynemann,who represents the Eastern firms, stated yesterday that it has been known for some time that Schmidt’s affairs were not in a good con- dition, but it was not expected that he would get away with the plunder and so smoothly. s Take it all together it is considered a remarkably successful clean-up, and it is thought that the creditors will realize little or nothing in the settlement. SATURDAY'S GAME. The Interest Still Growing in the Boys’ Brigade Football Contest. The game to be played at Central Park on Saturday afternoon between the Boys’ Brigade Second and Fifth Regiment teams promises to be one of much interest. The teams have been practicing daily, and a close contest is expected by thesupporters of both regiments. Many of the pro- fessionals about the bay will watch the re- sult with interest. Bob Plater, fullback on the Stanford team, says of Bishop and Davidson, half- back of the Fifth: *“By the time they reach college they will make Varsity men in their first year.”” This speaks well for the Fifth’s boys. Middlemas, playing guard in the Olym- pics, will act. as uinpire, and W. B. Hughseon, who played tackle on the Mari- etta College team, will be the referee. The colors of the Second Regiment are blue and gold, and that of the Fifth Regi- ment red and gold. The First Brigade band, B. B. C., has been hard at work pre- paring for the occasion, and the grand concert at 2:30 will be worth bhearing. Among the number of pieces selected for the concert is the famous “‘King Cotton March.” At the Oakland Exposition this band was aighly praised by the manage- ment, and especiallv for the perfect man- ner in which it rendered “King Cotton,” it being encored twice on this piece. Rain or. shins a large and enthusiastic crowd is € ted. he Second Regiment team and the band will arrive at the foot of Market street at 2 p. M. The Schooner John N.

For several years past efforts have been made by different denominations to arouse enough popular interest in the spiritual needs of the town to result in a church being built, but Rev. George Wallace of St. Margaret’s School, San Mateo, is the clergyman who has finally succeeded in getting together the funds and making ar- rangements for erecting the first church building within the limits of the town ot South San Francisco. Some months ago Mr. Wallace was ap- pointed by Bishop Nichels toicarryona mission in South SBan Fraucisco. Services were held in Pioneer Hall, and before long The Episcopal Mission Which Is About to Be Erected at South San Francisco. in than is anticipated the church will be made more costly. South 8an Francisco has a population of 675 inhavitants and there is considerable interest in the community over the first church in the town. At present the Rev.

Le Fron’s Self-Sacrificing ‘Work at Delhi for the Moham- medans and Hindoos. Dr. G. A. Le Fron of Cambridge Univer- sity, England, who has been seventeen vears at Delhi, Northern India, engaged in educational and religious work, is at the Occidental. He arrived yesterday on the Australia, broken in health, and is going home to re- cuperate, “There are forty of us over there,”’ he said, “including six bachelors. We carry on a general religions and educational work in Delhi and in different parts of | Northern India. We also have a large hospital which we have recently com- | pleted at Dethi and have en extensive medical work, which is carried on by women. “‘I have labored so long and so arduously that now my health is broken. I had to give it up in October last and I shall stay in England till I recover. ‘‘The Mohammedans and Hindoos have quit the fighting which they carried on so viciously some months ago, but they hate each other just as bad as ever. They are | also about as superstitious as formerly. It | is hard to get them outof it. Still, our Eeeople are getting along as well as could | expected in the educalional and reli- | gious work. Take itall together, we are very well pleased.” Dr. Le Fron will only be here a few days. He is anxious to get back to his home, from which he has been absent so many years. SPARROW NOT A GYPSY,, The Mantle of Authority Falls Upon the Shoulders of His Son. The Dead Chief Forsook Country and Friends for His Gypsy Bride. The little gypsy campon Fifteenth street is in mourning. Romany stoicism is not proof against the loss of the patriarch and leading spirit of the tribe, who lies on a sable bier in the most pretentious tent of the settlement. Even George Sparrow, next to the eldest son of the dead chief, to whom all turn for counsel, could not restrain his tears as he talked of the dead man. 1t 1s understood that unless the oldest member of the family, Richard Sparrow, who lives in New York, consents to come ‘West and assume those duties the mantle of authority will fall upon the shoulders of George. Thus far all efforts to communicate with Richard have been fruitless. Mrs. Sparrow, the widow, went to Oak- land yesterday to make such business ar- | rangements as were necessary for the | funeral. Friends and relatives watched | with the dead. | It was a romantic story that Mrs. Bath- | sheba Warton of San Jose, a daughter of the dead chief, tells of ber father’s life. “My father was not a gypsy,”’ she said between her sobs. ‘“He was an educated man, and at several times in his life was | wealthy. He was mate on an English ves- | sel running between Liverpool ana New York, and on one of the voyages he met a church organization was effected with thirty members and a Sunday-school num- bering over fifly pupils. About six months ago Mr. Wal'ace con- sidered that the time was ripe to take ac- tion toward establishing the mission in a building of its own. An enthusiastic meeting was held in Pioneer Hall and temporary organization was effected for the raising of funds. Rey. George Wal- lace was_unanimously chosen to be presi- dent, E. E. Cunningham was made vice- president and George R, Sneath treasurér. The new society adopted resolutions ledging itself to raise funds for building an piscopalian church in _South San Fran- cisco, and W.J. Martin, R. K. Patchell and Charles Johnson volunteered to be a com- mittee to collect funds. Ever since the or- ganization there has been a great amount of enthusiasm in the little town over its proposed church. All denominationsent a helping hand and subscrintions came pouring in at such a rate that enough money has now been subscribed to defray the expenses of building. The South San Francisco Land and Im- ‘provement Company Lias donated a lot 50 eet by 140 feet at the corner of Grand and Spruce avenues, ‘on condition that the trustees build. The title deeds will be delivered over as soon as the church is completed. The same company has also donated the sum of $150 toward the build- ing fund. George R. Sneath, W. J. Mar- tin ana Herbert B. Maggs have been clected trustees and the building, when completed, will be held in their name. The pians adopted resemble in eeneral effect the clmlpel at Cypress Lawn, but there will be less stone in the building. The length of the church will be 50 feet, its breadth 36 feet and its altitude from the ;1002 to the roof of the main building 40 eet. At the side will be a spire, which will rise to a considerabiy higher altitude. The church will be placed in the middle of the lot. There will be two entrances, with a drive at the south side leading to Grand avenue. Near the north entrance, some little distance from the church, will be a carriage shed for stabling the buggies of the faithful who live at a distance from the church. The carriage shed will be 18x 50 feet. ‘Wood and stone are to be the materials used in the construction, and it is ex- pected that the building will ‘cost from $1200 to-$1500, though if more money comes _o'clock. Several City pastors will be present my mother, who was coming to America with her parents. Though she was little more than a child, he fell in love with her, and shortly after they arrived in New York. “My mother soon tired of the confine- ment of city ife. She longed for gypsy freedom and persuaded my father to join her. in wandering with ber tribe. hey had a handsome home just outof New York, but she was never contented there when they spent a few months there in the interim of their travels. He lost that with other of his proverty through specu- lation. He gave up business and all the ties of the life he was used to to please my mother, and they lived thus for forty years. Mother was the first gypsy who came to Californis, and I was the first born here. William Sparrow was a member of the Church of England. W. A. M.

The will of the late Gerrit L. Lansing, comptroller of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, was filed for probate yesterday. His estate is valued at over $10,000. Itis sup- posed to be worth over $100,000. He leaves a lot on Ninth street to his mother, Mary R. Lansing, and a lot on Pacific avenue to his wife, Mabel C. Lan- sing. The remainder of his property, he directs, shall be given to his wife and his mother, one-half to each. The will 13 dated June 21, 1890. The executors are Edward C. Wright, James 0'B. Gunn and J.

Eva Booth Says Her Heart Is Broken Over the Recent Trouble and Calls for Prayers. The Salvation Army officers are in fre- quent receipt of communications from Nabional headquarters calculated to con- firm them in their loyalty to the flag. The captains of the several stations yester- day received the foliowing circular letter from Commissioner Eva Booti: THE SALVATION ARMY NATIONAL HEAD- QUARTERS, 120-124 \W. Fourteentn street, NEW YORK CITY, February 26, 1896.. My Dear Comrade: Now that the general has appointed me to the command of the United States until the arrvial of the new commis- sioners I hasten to place myseif in vour hands in this season of deep and heart-rending sor- row to be of what service God can enable me to push forward the salvation of souls. It has given me untold comfort in this ter- rible storm to receive assurauces of loyalt; irom the brigadiers, divisional ard field staff. Every hour brings me from all parts of the field testimonies of the sorrow felt on the one hand and of unswerving loyalty on the other. 1 will therefore confine mf' first letter to to expressing a few heartfelt feelings suggéfted by the circumstances of the hour: 1. Do not be influenced to a final decision on the whole case until the general’s return to England, when he has promised to fully con- sider and decide upon the issues involved 2. Remember, that heavy and bitter as is the blow that has fallen upon you, which I fain would have shiclded you irom hed it been ssible, it cannot be as painful as for those of is own family, who would gladly have laid down their lives to avert the disuster. 3. Let me ask you to fix your mind upon the principles at siake. Should the general make one law for America and another for India? apply one law to his son and another to his brigadiers and field officers ? These questions lie at the root of the present distress, and it is to preserve the unity of the whole army that the general has felt it right to decide and sct as he has done. 4. Be true to your pledges. The gaze of the whole world is fixed upon America, and especially on its officers, at this hour. I be- lieve in you. 1 believe it because of your past faithfulness and devotion, because of struggles through which you have fought and because of the victories won for the cause in the past. and because you know the power as well as the grace of obedience. 5. Stand by the army. It is world-wide in its se. 6. Be careful to avoid encouraging any party. or personal !eelingi Cultivate the gift of love, speak evil of and think evil of no one. 7. Have faith in God! We shall overcome. But we can only do so by fighting in the con- fidence that our principles are divine. 8. Give me your trust. I am alone. My heart is broken. This command has been sud- denly and unexpectedly given me. I feel my responsibility, and I want to bless you and help you and guide you. 9. Pray for me. rite me concerning your sorrow. I am a sharer of it, and with what consolation I receive I shall give, and Iam sure I need not ask you to continually remem- ber before the throne our beloved general—the father of our movement. His spirit will be torn—his heart lacerated. Our prayers and love must sustain him. 1 pray that the Goa of all grace and peace w‘llrflll you with consolation, and the power of the Holy Ghost give you courage and desperate faith, and while the waters of this griet beat rudely around us unity shall be our strength while ye stand’neath the shadow of the cross and the wave of the Salvation Army flag. Rely upon me as your sister and _comrade in this holy war for God, America and.the world. Eva C. BooTH, Commissioner. The following, also, conveying the sym- pathy of the army of Canada, signed by seventy-eight officers, was received : THE SALVATION ARMY, TERRITORIAL qu)—z QUARTERS, JAMES AND ALBERT STREETS, ‘TorONTO, Ontario, February 25, 1895. To.Our Comrade Officers of the United States— DEARLY BELOVED COMRADES: We have learned, with the profoundestsorrow, of the résignation from the army of Commander and Mrs. Bal- lington Booth, who, until a few -hours ago, were your loved and successful leaders. WXI; the difficulties leading up to this we have no desire to interfere. Under any cir- cumstances their withdrawal from us must be & sad and irreparable loss. ‘We sddress you now only to assure you of our affectionateand sincere sympathyin the heavy trial through which you are passing. We are in the better porition to sympathize with you, because,we have passed through the same sort of difficulties. We have had the press and tke enemies of union arrayed against us. Wehave had to combat the evil influences of misunder- atunding and misrepresentation, but God has ever and always come to our assistance and vindicated us before the world. ‘We are now more than ever thankful that in those hours of distress we stood by the old flag aud fought for our world-wide principles. We feel sure you will do the same. We are bound together by ties of brotherly love and comrade- ship which the world knows nothing about. We pray for you asonly those can pray whose hearts have been welded together in the fires of affcction and persecution. Be not dismayed! God will, we are sure, show himself strong in your veualf. Remember, there 1s a silver lin- ing to every dark cloud,and good may yet come from the incidents of the past few days. ‘We are sorry that it 1s not possible for us to be by your sides to render that service which our hearts yearn to do; be assured, however, that we areé with you in spirit, and that we trayail in soul for the great army of warriors which, under the good hand of God, you have been instrumental in raising up; thathe may preserve them from anything that would make it harder for them to serve God or lufpon the lofty principles in which we have all gloried from the beginning. Court on us to carry on the war in Canada till we greet you with a shout in the morning. Vodka, a sort of whisky made in Rus- sia, exceeds in alcoholic strength that of any other whisky.
