STEAMERS COLLIDE IN A FCG. All the Ferry Contracts Signed at Last—Iron Work to Begin Immediately. The long overdue British ship Lyrd- hurst, Captain Martin, arrived vesterday 169 days from Hongkong. The cause of her delay of over two months was owing to a stop at Auger, Java, for repairs, having received camages during stormy weather. She sailed from that port ebout December 10, and her run of 100 days across the Pacific was uneventiul. On February 23 Daniel Purviost, a seaman and native of England, aged 30 years, died from natural causes and was buried at sea. It appears that the Lyndhurst’s storms did not end with her entrance into bar- bor, for the anchor was not down when she was boarded by a United States Mar- shal. His warrant was libel papers from the firm at Auger that repaired the ship. Upon the completion of the work Captain Martin objected to the charges, which were $11,000. He finally cut short_all de- bate over the matter by- spreading the canvas and sailing his good ship away. | But the submarine cable was the swifter and the Federal officer was keepinga look- out for him. The steamer Noyo collided with the steamer Pasadena off Fort Brage earlv yesterday morning. The Noyo, which left this port Thursday morning, was proceed- ing northward slowly in the fog, when the Pasadena was suddenly sighted close aboard, bound from Eureka to San Pedro. She struck the Noyo a glancing blow close to the stem, badly damaging that portion of the hull. The Pasadene also received some damage, but not being in any danger proceeded on her wa The Noyo arrived at Fort Bragg, where she will receive tem- porary repairs. Both vessels had large passenger lists, and what might have been 2 serious disaster was averted by the cau- tion of the two captains in moving slowly | in the fog. The Pasadena came into port late last night leaking. Six planks had been started on the starboard side. At the meeting of the Harbor Commis- sioners yesterday the contract of the wrought-steel work for the new ferry build- ing was awarded to the Risdon Iron Works for $188,000. President Taylor of the company asked for further aelay be- fore signing the papers. but this was strongly opposed by Commissioner Cole, who stated that he wanted to see the work started upon the building. The contracts were then signed, and this ended all the | preliminaries necessary before the con- struction begins. President lor stated o the board that he will make a showing hin the next ten days A petition was received asking that a new wharf be built on Tulare street, from Kentu to Massachuseits, adjoining Islais Creek channel. The petition was tabled, as the commission did not think the needs of commerce at present called for a wharf there, and also because there were no funds for the construction. A communication was received from the Chamber of Commerce relative to the im- mediate extension of the Belt Railroad to the Pacific Maildoci The matter will be taken into consiaeration. The steamship City of Rio Janeiro, which was driven back to Honolulu from ithin 1000 miles of the Japanese coast by ous gale, reached Yokohama Thurs- day aiter a run of fourteen days from the Hawaiian Islands. She made over twenty- two knots an hour for the entire passage across the ocean. To-morrow the Naval Battalion will throw the monitor Camanche open to visitors. Besides the boats towed by the steam-launch of the battaiion, the steamer Caroline will take visitors off to the war | vessel. The young men have made full preparations to receive their guests and the visit will amply repay those who wish to explore the monitor.. The officers and men of the reserve will be in full uniform and the strict discipline of 2 man-of-war In a short time the armories on shore will be given up and all the property of the battalion removed to the Camanche. This will save the ex- pense of several hundred dollars a quarter, which will be used in a fund to make the old craft shipshape. The British ship Cromdale arrived last nizht seventy-three days from Sydney, N. S. W. 8She had light winds almost all the v, lasting til she reached this coast. She has been off this port with gentie easterly breezes for fourteen deys. The barkentine Tropic Bird, which came in last evening from Tahiti, on the contrarv had strong northeasterly gales and heavy seas much of the passage; WY THREE STO0D T, George H. Sanders Tells About the Jury in the Case Against Leon R. Meyers, Previous Good Reputation of the De. fendant and Contradictory Testi- mony Caused a Disagreement. George H. Sanders of the architect firm of Wright & Sanders was one of the jurors in the case of the People against Leon R. Meyers, charged with an infamous crime. Mr. Sanders was asked last night to state why the jury disagreed. He said he would not admit whether he was with the minority or the majority, but that the three jurors who stood out for acquittal were influenced in their judg- = fied for the prosecution had made contra- dictory statements, and by the further fact that Meyers had always borne a good reputation before this ‘affair occurred. These two facts, taken together, caused the three jurors to discredit the testimony and to give the defendant the benefit of the doubt, as they were bound to do under their oaths. The jury stood at first five for acquittal and seven for conviction. ‘Then 2 compro- mise verdict was agreed upon by the seven and by two of the five, leaving the jury three for acquittal and two for conviction. With reference to the statement thar Mr. Sanders had been employed by Meyers for many years to draw designs for marble work, Mr. Sanders said that he never worked for Meyers and never drew any designs for him. The only business rela- tions, if such they could be called; that had ever existed between them consisted in the firm of Wricht & Sanders having drawn the plans for and superintended work done under contract by Meyers for other parties, who had engaged Wright & Sanders to draw the plans. “I made that statement in court,”” con- tinued Mr. Sanders, “‘because I wanted to be excused for serving on the jury. The District Attorney would have challenged me only for the fact that he had exhausted all his peremptory challenges. I told the Judge I did not think I was a proper man to be placed on the jury, but the Judge grips, etc. Sanborn, Vail & Co., 741 erl{et street. - oath do so impartially? ‘I think I can,’ said, and I was accepted as a juror.” GRAND JURY SESSION. Communication From the Fire Depart- ment—Close Watch on Poolselling. Only one witness was heard at the regu- lar session of the Grand Jury yesterday { aiternoon. One hour’s time was required for B. B. Haskell to tell the jury all about a partnership raccounting suit in Judge Hunt's department of the Superior Court. The jury did not find an indictment, and perhaps the finding of one may not be necessary. The report of the referee in the proceedings has not yet been made to the court. ‘While the jury was in session a com- muuication was received from Chief Sul- livan of the Fire Department. The docu- ment gives the Jocation of all the engine- houses ana shops of the department and other information_which may serveas a guide for Edward Malley, A. F. Price and P. F.

A pleasant musicale was given last night at the Association Auditorium, under the auspices of the Hawthorn Society. Miss Elsie Cellarius, a little nine-year-old girl, especially distinguished herself. She played Handel’s “Harmonious Black- smith” with good execution and wonder- ful facility, considering her age. The piano passages were rendered in a particu- larly pretty and graceful manner. Miss Aimee Cellarius, a young girl a few years her sister’s senior, played a “Rondo Brilliante,” by Weber, and selections by Mozart and Bach. She played with a crisp, clear touch and showed a fair appre- ciation of the different styles required for the compositions of such diverse masters. Her Weber number was particularly good. In the selections by Mozart and Bach Miss Cellarins was accompanied on an- other piano by Abe Sunderiand. Hugo Mansfeldt won warm applause for his playing of a number of classical piano- forte solos, and Mrs. George H. Parry and / The American Schooner Lyman D.

The authorities supposed that Judge Wallace’s recent decision settled the con- troversy, and that the poolmen without | further resistance in the courts would close | their ‘“‘commission’”’ houses. The selling of pools therefore, while Judgze Low was revolving in his mind some other ques- tions of law, was taken as a hint that the poolsellers had resolved to reopen the campaign. WS ALIGST SUICEE Nicholas Claussen Pleaded Guilty to Murder in the First Degree. His Plea Was Finally Withdrawn and He Will Go to Trial on April 1. Nicholas Claussen nearly drew the noose around his neck in Judge Wallace's court vesterday by pleading guilty to murder in | the first degree. Claussen shot his wife on February 25 at their home at 37 Everett street. It wasa particularly cold-blooded murder, and when questioned about it Clausser sald he bad killed the woman for fun. He was examined in the Police Court and washeld to answer. He came up for arraiznment before Judge Wallace yesterday morning, and he nearly settled the case for himself without the help of a jury. The information was read to him and he was asked to plead. “Guilty,” he said. Court, counsel and spectators were aston- ished at the plea, for it meant that the court must sentence him to death, and it seemed more like suicide than anything else. He was asked to repeat his plea, and egain the prisoner pleaded_guilty. Then Judge Wallace appointed John Carroll to look out for the prisoner’s inter- ests, but the plea was the same and it was entered. Colonel O'Byrne then rose as a friend of the court and_asked that the plea be not entered as gailty. He said that Claussen naa probably mistaken the serious import of his plea and that he should like a chance to speak to the priconer and ex- plain the situation to him. Claussen was asked by the court if he understood the information which had been read to him, and he said he had. Then he was asked if he knew the significance of his plea and the results which would follow, and said yes, he did; but Colonel O’Byrne went over-| and held an earnest conversation with bim and ,he evidently found he did not understand the situation so well as he thought he did. The result was that he asked the court to allow him to withdraw the plea and enter one of not guiity and this was permitted. Colonel O'Byrne, much to his disgust, was then leOil\ted todefena the prisoner. Claussen’s trial was set for April 1. THE CONTEST UNDECIDED. Supervisors Ballot for a Design for the New Municipal Building. The Board of Supervisors met last night as a committee ot the whole to select a de- sign for the new municipal building at Kearny and Washington streets, Four- teen ballots were taken, but of the five candidates voled for there was no choice and the meeting adjourned. At first the vote was scattering. The result of the sixth ballot showed Shex & Shea ‘in the lead as follows: Shea & Shea 6, Banks 4, Moosier 1, Callet 1. This vote remained unchanged until the fourteenih ballot was cast aud an adjournment was taken, —_— e—————— Fell Twenty Feet.

Time and again it has been recorded that the braces have been let go and the swinging yard has plunged a man into eternity. Un every occasion it has been the sailor who has got | the worst of it, while the captain and officers as a general rule got the entire blame. The tables have been turned, however, and the relatives of Captain Phil Dreyer are now monrning his loss. A more das- tardly crime was never committed at sea. The captain had occasion to reprimand the steward, and the latter seized the oppor- tunity when the master was at dinner to plunge a carving-knife into his back. Cap- tain Dreyer die(;‘, and the steward is now under arrest. The four-masted schooner Lyman D. Foster sailed from San Francisco about the latter part of November last. Captain “Phl” Dreyer was in command and C. G. Linn, a hali-breed Chinese, was cook and | steward. For an assistant he had Thomas | Gertzen, another half-breed, who acted as | cabin boy. Neither Linn nor Gertzen had ever been in trouble before, and both had served on | the American vessel Topgallant. Neither | wore queues, and both claimed to be Na- | tive Sons of the Golden West. When the Lyman D. Foster arrived av Shanghai and the two Chinese were arrested for the murder of the captain they claimed the protection of the American flag, and it was given them. It was a cold-blooded | affair, however, and one of the men is sure 1o hang. When the Foster left San Francisco she | had a crew of fourteen all told aboard. At.Bellingham Boy she loaded lumber for | Shanghai and sailea last December. All went weil for a time, but Linn and the captain did not get along well together. The Chinese was derelict in_his duty and irequently had to be reprimanded. On February. 25 matters came to a climax. Tke captain pointed out certain shortcom- inzs in the work of the Chinese and the latter took the first opportunity to re- venge himself. As he was serving the | skipper he leaned over his back and | grasping the carving-knife stabbed Dreyer between the shoulders. A struggle ensued. but the wounded master.was no match for the infuriated Chinese and was soon overcome. When Mate L. Anderson and others of the crew broke into the cabin Captain Dreyer was dead and the Chinese was sitting at the table gazing upon the corpse. His mind was completely gone and he had to be placed in irons to prevent further trouble. Wiiether his craze was temporary or not remains to be seen, but that will ceriainly be his plea when the case comes to trial in the Consular Court in Sbhanghai. Captain Dreyer was well known in San Francisco, and no one will be more missed on 'Change than he. For years he was master of the schooner Revorter, and a few years ago W. G. Hall of Port Blakeley built the Lyman D. Foster for him. The schooner was named atter a son of 8. Fos- ter, the wholesale grocer, and is considered one of the handsomest four-masted crafts afloat. Captain Dreyer leaves a widow and four c..iliren, ail of whom live in Al- ameda. It was late in the aiterngon be- fore any one could summon up courage enough to inform them of the tragedy. When the news was finally broken to Mrs. Dreyer her grief was pitiable to behold. The remains of her husband will be em- hnlmel:fl and brought to San Francisco for burial. : A Brave Journal, The San Francisco News Letter for this week deals editorially with such live top- ics as the Presidential Situation; the Railroad Commission; the Suffrage Bub- ble; the Examiner and the Railroad; the Dr. Brown Case, etc. In Pleasure’s Wand will be found bright and breezy criticisms npon happenings in theatrical circles, and in the literary department wili be found a masterly review of the late George Atgustus Sala’s memoirs.

A new car-fender, which is claimed by its owners to have been successful in East- ern cities where 1t has been used, was called to the attention of the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Super- visors by Supervisor Dimored yesterday. He said that the circulars of the company claimed that the fender had been used in Providence, R. I., for sixteen months, and in other cities for a shorter time, and had L)ro\'ed highly successful. The company tept a record of all accidents on roads equinped with these guards, and the circu- lars contained a list of the accidents. They are several hundred in nu.mber, and none were attended with serious injuries. In many instanc2s people were picked up b tue fenders and subsequertly walked of uninjured. It was decided to call the at- tention of Superinterident Vining to the fender and ask that it be tested. NEW TO-DAY. MONEY SAVING PRIGES Money-Saving Dishes. S MONEY SAVERS. “Woe betide any woman or class of women who shall change 1n any wise the maternal relation. The mothef must re- main as ske is.” So said Rabbi Voorsanger in Lis lecture at the Temple Emanu-El last evening. He was talking to his subject, ““A Man and His Mother.” The whole lecture was a passionate ap- peal in behalf of the sacredness of the home of which the mother is the anchor and guiding star, and a protest against the “new woman,” as that term contemplates a departure from it. *“I'ne mother must remain,”’ he said, ‘“‘unless nature herself is a lie. I must not become emotional,” ne said. “l would rather appeal to your mind than your heart. But this thought must appeal to us alike. Maternity is the holiest function that God has created. The mother stands as the cornerstone of the home; the home is the rock upon which the cabin of the state is builded, and the states so firmly built constitute or govern the world. Therefore the mother is the cornerstonc of the world. Her responsibility is the greatest of all. Can she hope for higher places, greater reverence or esteem in any other station? “It is hers to mold the destiny of her husband and give direction to the thought and sentiment of her sons. Her sons are the coming rulers of the world. Woe be- tide any woman or class of women that change the relation of maternity. “How true it is what Washington Irving has said, ‘A father may leave his children any time, but a mother never.’ “We see the woman of fashion in all her pride, we see the women stiiving with ad- versity. Butit isall the same when the word mother is used. I cannotimagine a wicked mother as one disloyal to her own. Mothers may make mistakes, but they are true. *is there a man whose capacity is so great for sacrifice — who can suffer so much? “But where is the man who will turn from his mother? We sce the man Na- poleon dictator to a continent, whose pup- pets were kings, who set up and destroyed governments, who transgressed all laws. wno set nations at detiance, who revered nothing and cared for no man, who di- vorced the womau he loved for ambition’s sake, the woman who loved him and mourned him in death. This man never entered the presence of his mother without uncovering bis head and paying homage to her who had given him birth. “I tell you the maternal relation shall not change, it must not ¢hange. “Iam talking for but one object. I do not want the homes ol our City under- mined.” .. AN ABANDONED CLAIM. The Owners Were Sorry and Wanted Possession Again. The Supreme Court rendered a decision in the case of Trevaskis against Thomas Pease et al. The defendants scorned a claim which lay 1n two sectionsof land. It was soid out by the Sheriff, but the deed of sale was made out s0 as to describe the ciaim as Iy- ing in only one section, invalidating the transfers. It came into the' possession of Henrietta Trevaskis, and she started to de- velop it.. The defendants had practically aban- doned the claim, but when an attorney called their attention to their defective sale. they kept their eyes on_the property.
