Another disaster must be added to the already long list that crowds the opening tons gross burden, 75 feet long, 24 feet 3 inches broad and 6 feet deep. She was built in Humboldt Bay in 1876. The Helen Merriam was or is about 74 tons gross burden, 80 feet 5 inches long, 26 feet broad and 5 feet 6 inches deep. She was built in San Francisco. This collision probably explains the telegram from Collins Landing, which sfated that a dis- masted vessel in tow of a two-masted schooner had passed south last Monday. The supposition is that the dismasted vessel was the Merriam, so Captain Gruggel may see his vessel agai THAT COLTON OVERDRAFT. The Case Has Developed Legal Points ‘Whichk Are Under Argument. The fight for commissions for the sale of the Colton house has dwindled down to a point of law. This point is as to how far Murphy’s connection with the case in- volves the bank, or if he acted solely in his individual capacity. The bank contends that it has nothing to do with the sale of the house and it wants the amount of the overdraft, as it styles the deficiency. Mrs. Colton ims that the bank has unlawfully allowed its “‘broking’’ president to deduct from her account the amount of the commission which he thought he ought to have. The question then arises whether or not Mur- phy took the $8000 before the money was placed in the bank or afterward. The jury in the case has been excused until these questions have been settled. e The Fire Record. An alarm was sounded from box 152 at 9:45 o'clock last night for a fire in a two-story frame building at 492 Eighth street. It was occu- ied by W. W. Wickerer; loss $25: A blaze in r.

Great Indignation Expressed Over the Way Seized Sealers Are Being Treated. There was a full board present at the usual meeting of the Harbor Commission- ers yesterday. President Colnon was back from his holiday jaunt to Los Angeles, and looked much better for his holiday. He visited ‘the Catalina Islands and was so taken with the place that he has resolved to visit it again next July. “A morebeau- tiful place 1 neversaw,” said he yesterday. “Not only is it picturesque, but new won- ders are sprung on you at almost every turn. And the boom of the surge was with us all the time. Yes, I’'m going back to the Catalinas again in the summer, and will probably remain a couple of weeks.” The Chamber of Commerce wrote, ask- ing the board to extend the belt railroad from the foot of Broadway to the Southern Pacific Railroad’s depot at Fourth and sault with a deadly weapon and threats to kill. He alleged that Lanoue on Saturday last attacked him with a knife and since then had threatened to kill him. Lanoue was ar- Tested and relea sed on bonds. DR. BROWN'S CHURCH. A Mysterious Light in the Basement Causes the Police to Sur- round It. A light in the basement of the First Con- gregational Church at an early hour yes- terday morning created surprise in the Police Department. The policeman on the beat called the attention of Sergeant Shea to the light and | the sergeant got the men in the immediate neigl)borhoug together and they sur- rounded the church. Every door was found to be locked, and the sergeant tele- phoned to the Central police station to get the officer on duty at the Seventeenth- street station to find Janitor Pyke, who lives at 753 Valencia street, and drive him to the church in the patrol wagon. The janitor was wakened out of his sleep, but he positively refused to take a free ride in tge patrol wagon and went back to his bed. The sergeant on being notitied of the janitor's refusal drew off his men, but left 'a man to watch for developments. The light was still burning when the man reported off duty,and was no doubt ex- tinguished by the janitor later on. Why it was left burning all night is a mystery. o gEes e Geary-Street Temple. The fifth annual series of Friday evening lectures wiil be brought to a close at the Geary-street Temple this evening when Rabbi Levy will lecture on the “Aftermath.” | To-morrow evening at sunset the Passover will be ushered in with appropriate services. On Sundsy and Monday there will be elabo- rate services of song, Professor Stewart con- d\l(‘tm%. Rabbi Levy will preach on both days of the festival, as also on both the lastdays. Sunday’s sermon will be devoted to “The Mes- sage of the Passover.” The Crew of the Wreckel Schooner Helen Merriam Es:aping to the Christina Steffens After the Collision Off Timber Cove Last Sunday. Drawn by a * Call” artist from a description furnished by Captain Gruggel of the Merriam.] months of 1896. Half a dozen vessels are missing, collisions bhave been numerous have gone on the rocks, mail steamers have Broken down and others have run short of coal, while deep-water ships have on two occasions been compelled to race for the nearest friendly port with their News of the latest disaster reached San Francisco yesterday morning on the schooner Bender Brothers. The Christina Steffens and the Helen Merriam were in collision off Timber Cove, and as a resuit the latter is now at the bottom of the ocean or floating around, a derelict. Cap- tain Fred W. Gruggel and the crew were taken off by the other schooner, but they the Merriam near the fore rigging on the port side and the foremast went by the board. In its fall the stays brought the aftermast down also, and then the bow- sprit of the Steffens raked her fore and aft. The Merriam was bound for Puget Sound and had a quantity of hay aboard. A strong southeast gale was blowing and the schooner was bowling along with her sails wing and wing and making steamboat time. Early on Sunday morning she was off Timber Cove,and it was there her voyage ended. The Christina Stéffens was bound for Timber Cove, but owing to the heavy weather she could not make port. The schooner was closehauled and was stand- ing on and off awaiting the abatement of the gale. A heavy fog hung over the ocean and the lookout could not see 100 yards ahead. Without a moment’s warn- ing the Steffens crashed into the Merriam, and the crew of the latter made a rush for the boat, as the crash of falling timbers and the roar of rushing waters gave the impression that the vessel had been al- most cut in two. Everybody escaped, but the men lost most of their belongings. The next morning there was no sign of the Merriam, and Captain Gruggel came to the conclusion that she had gone down. The Steffens accordingly headed for Tim- ber Cove, but on the way the Bender Brothers was met coming out and Captain Gruggel and two of his men were trans- ferred to her and came to San Francisco. “The collision took place about 4 A. M. last Sunday,” said Captain Gruggel yes- terday.- “We were bound for Nehalem Bay, and as it was blowing almost a gale at a great rate. The Steffens had nolights, but ours were burning brightly, and Cap- tain Johnson acknowledges having seen them before he ran intous. I had been on watch all night and had only gone below a short time when the collision occurred. The Steffens struck the Merriam forward of the fore rigging on the port side and carried away both masts. Our buiwarks were all smashed up, and the Christina Steffens lost her martingale, some of her neadgear and had her jib torn. We aban- doned the vessel, and at daybreak she was gone. Some of my crew went into Timber Cove on the Steffens, but 1 came to San Francisco on the Bender Brothers.” The only insurance on the Helen Mer- riam was $1000, which was placed on her to secure an advance male to Captain Gruggel by his agent. Unlessthe Steffens is proved to be in the wrong, the master will, therefore, be a heavy loser. Captain Gruggel was formerly master of the 8. Danielson, but about eighteen months ago he gave her up and purchased the Helen Merriam, The Christina Steffens is a little over 70 DURRART'S ~ EXCEPTIONS, The Last Stay of Fifteen Days Granted Him Expires To- Morrow. The District Attorney and Judge Mur- phy Wrestling Over the Issues Involved. The last stay of fifteen days which was granted to stop the execution of the court’s sentence in the case of Theodore Durrant will expire to-morrow. What further action may be taken by the trial Judge will be determined by Judge Murphy, who has been working on the bill of exceptions presented to him by General J. H. Dickinson and Eugene Deuprey, Durrant’s attorneys, and which exceptions the District Attorney has combatted. These differences of legal opinion between the contending parties over the issues involved during the trial have to be ad- justed by the Judge who presided over the trial. In order to give proper considera- tion.to the objections of the defendant’s lawyers, and where these objections are contested by the District Attorney, Judge Murphy has adjourned his court during the past week the better to enable him to devote his entire time to a careful perusal of the voluminous compilation of | matter involved in the findings. After the bill of exceptions is finally ad- justed and signed by the Judge, the case in its entirety will be forwarded to the clerk of the Supreme Court, and once the papers are there the Judge of the lower court loses all further jurisdiction over the person of Durrant. A further stay of pro- ceedings, with the privilege of germimng the defendant to remain in the County Jail, rests with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. R In the meantime it is probable that Judge Murphy will to-morrow grant a fur- | ther extension to Durrant to remain at the i Ing to ruin the owners of the vessels by Broadway hotel. “This long delay over the bill of -exce tions is not our-fault,” said General Dick- inson, when speaking over the long delay. “We had our si}:‘le ready ngd submitted it to Judge Murphy seventy days ago. e dalay with the findings nas been in the District Attorney’s office ana not with our side.” “We are ready to go to the Supreme Court.at any time and_have no fear of the result,” said Fugene Duprey. ‘‘After the District Attorney and Judge Murphy have agreed on our bill of exceptions the papers will be forwarded to the courtof appeal and until that time I have every reason to believe that Durrant will not be disturbed from where he is.”” . It was expected that the District Attor- ney would have his proposed amendments ready on the 13th inst. Failingin his ex- pectations Judge Murphy gave him fifteen days’ extension, which will expire to- mOrrow. Jasper Madison, the jockey, was on trial be- fore Judge Wallace yesterday on the charge of assanlt to commit murder. Early in January, during an altercation in the Richmond saloon, Bay District track, Madison stabbed Hugh Murphy, the bartender, in the neck. The jur: 1ast night returned a verdict of simple assault against Madison. Professor Gieseler of Gottingen has twen- ty-four children. He saw a child crying in the street and asked, ““What is the mat- ter, little boy?” *“Don’t you know me, papa?’ said the boy. He was one of the iwenty-four children, 1 Townsend streets. A committee from the chamber will be heard by the Commis- sioners next Tuesday, but the chances are that nothing will be done, as_the board | will not do any work in the direction of extending the road until the seawall is built. McDermon & Co., the asbestos boiler- covering people, wrote objecting to giving up their premises at the foot of Broadway to the Southern Pacitic. They said the firm had spent mouney in improving the property and that some consideration should be shown. The matter was laid on the table. George Schneider & Co. sent in a petition with 112 signatures of residents of Alameda attached, asking that the newsstand at the ferry landing be allowed to remain. Joseph A. Hofman asked for a similar privilege, but nothing done, President Colnon remarking that it was time the commission went out of the “‘peddling business.” The stringers -along the bulkheads be- tween the various piers are to be removed. President Colnon said they were a nuisance and dangerous to foot passengers. They wili be replaced by posts similar to those at the ferries. The Western Union Telegraph Com- any is about to remove its office from the ferry building to the west side of East street. It, therefore, asked for permission to tear up the street in order to lay its wires and also to drive a three-inch pipe through the ferry foundation in order to carry its’ telephone wires out to the dolphin. The matter was referred to the Chief Engineer. A new shed is to be built on pier 8 and the contract was let to Gallowey, Townley & Co., whose bid was $2654. The next lowest bid was Healy, Tibbits & Co., $2693, and the highest was F. A, Williams, $3423. Bateman Bros.’ bid was rejected as it was not accompanied by a certitied check. ’ Captain John Burns of the Tropic Bird will not go out in the barkentine next trip. He is going to take a well-earned rest ashore, and his place will be taken by Captain C. W. Jackson of the American ship Louisiana. First Officer Aggers of the same ship will also take the place of Chief Officer Murray of the 1 ropic Bird. Sealing men in general are very much exasperated over the manner in which the Government has handled the schooners Bowhead and Winchester. The way it looks now it appears to be a case of petty persecution, and as if Uncle Sam was try- false kindness. When the vessels were first seized they were appraisea at $5000 by the Government. Now that they have been released the owners find that there is over $4500 in charges against the vessels, of which $1650 is United States Marshal fees. Collector Wise has received instruc- tions to release the schooners, but District Attorney Foote has not, so the matter is in abeyance. The owners are considering the situation, however, and they may elect to allow Uncle Sam to keep the ves- sels until Senator Perkins and the Califor- nia delegation can lay the matter before Congress. The big tug Fearless is to have a new 14-inch wrecking-pump, and when it is in position she will be one of the most pow- erful fireboats in the United States. Ca tain Dan Haskell tested the pump on the wharf yesterday, and it worked to tue en- tire satisfaction of everybody connected with the towboat company. The little Alaska steamer. Jeanie has been lengthened thirty feet and thor- oughly overhauled. Her engines have been repaired, and on her trial trip vester- day she made two knots more than before she was remodeled. The barkentine S. N. Castle, which ar- rived from Honolulu yesterday, reports that on the night of March 25 she was in company with a British bark. Her name could not be made out.

One Thousand Tons of Rails Arrived on the American Ship Aryan. Material to Be Transhipped Into Lighters and Taken to the Terminus. The Amerizan ship Aryan arrived from New York yesterday with 1000 tons of rails for the Santa Clara Valley Ruilway aboard. She came in under full sail and did not need the assistance of a tug to reach an anchorage in Mission Bay. The steel rails will be loaded into lighters and taken to Alviso, where they will remain pending the determination of the condemnation suits now in progress in San Jose. It is the intention of the railroad com- pany to build from Alviso right through Santa Clara Valley and give the farmers and residents a competing road. From Alviso all the passengers would be brought to San Francisco in fast steamers, while the treight would come on a specially con- structed boat. The promoters were blocked almost at the outset, however. Property-owners would not give the necessary land, and condemnation suits had to be commenced in the San Jose courts. Ex-Railroad Com- missioner James Rea is one of the defend- ants, and his case is now on trial. Rea owns 6634 acres of land at Alviso. The | railroad people want 31 acres of this property, and experts put on the stand yssterdnf' testified that the property was worth all the way from $150,000 to $750,000. When asked to put a price on the three acres Rea refused, hence the suit. The matter has caused considerable talk, but_the. promoters of the new competing road assert that it will be built, no matter what comes or goes. Mr. Rea is skeptical on this point and says the Santa Clara Railway Company does not mean busi- ness. The latter, however, has its rails in port, a steamer contracted for and its engines on the way, and the company con- siders that a sufficient answer. Should the company fail to secure a right of way the steel rails will be sold to the highest bidder, the steamer will be put on another route and the engines used on another road. The chances are that the road will be built, however, and then the Southern Pacific will have another com- petitor in the field. The questions asked the jurors were peculiar. The attorney for the defense asked, “If it is shown that the Southern Pacific is behind the scheme to block the building of the road would that have any influence on your verdict?” While the attorney for the Elninlifl asked, “If it is roven that the Southern Pacific is in avor of this road would that influence your verdict?"’ Also, ‘*Have vou any rela- tives in the empioy of the Southern Pa- cific?” and, “Are you acquainted with anybody in the management of the South- ern Pacific?” The tight promises to be a lively one, but in the meantime the_ steel rails’'on the Aryan will be discharged and taken to Alviso in lighters. ————— Charlemagne’s will is still in existence. It gives an interesting description of treasures which have long since disap- peared. Among these were three tables of silver and one of gold, of considerable size and weight. On the first was tra the plan of the city of Constantinople, upon the second a view of Rome; the third, composed of three zones, contained a description of the whole universe, figured with skill and delicacy. IMPROVED FERRY SERVICE More Frequent Boats to Be Put On When the New Depot Is Ready. ONE EVERY TWENTY MINUTES. The Southern Pacific Will Not Run Its Principal Trains Into Town- send Street. Within a comparatively short time the veople of San Francisco and those residing across the bay wilt be able to make the _tnp to and fro on the broadgange ferry at intervals of twenty minutes instead of thirty, as at present, as it is the avowed purpose of the Southern Pacific, wnen the new ferry depot is completed, to puton boats and connecting trains to run every twenty minutes on the broadgauge lines. It was current report that the Southern Pacific Company would not require as much room in the new depot as it is now utilizing at the foot of Market street. It was stated that by that time its coast line would be completed from Los Angeles via Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, and that the principal trains would be brought in at the Third and Townsend street depot. Manager J. A. Fillmore, when asked as to the truth of this report, said: “Why, that is the veriest nonsense. By the time this new depot will be ready, the increase in traffic on the suburban trains will be such that to my mind it will be necessary for us to put in a service that will give a boat every twenty minutes on the broadgauge line, and this may even become necessary before that depot is ready. “When these twenty-minute ferry boats are put on, they will at first run during the early hours of the morning and _the evening hours, when the traffic is heaviast. *With the completion of the coast line, only one train will be taken away from the main line that now enters Oakland, and tliat will be tue overland train on the Sunset line. This will be run in at Town- send street, but it will not decrease the number of trains now entering Oakland, because we will have to puton alocal from Los Angeles to San Francisco to take the place of the throlgh train. In fact, we expect to see our trains increased by ten or a dozen by the time this depot is com- pleted.” Among other rumors in this connection was one to the effect that the Oakland re- vair shops were to be removed to Mission Bay, where the company contemplated building new docks. This, too, was em- phatically denied by Manager Filimore, who said: “I can’t conceive how any one can im- af;ine such a thing as that the Oakland shops are to be removed. They will all re- main_ where they are, and will be needed inorder to keep the locomotives and steam- ers that run into Oakland in repair. They only change to be made in the location of shops will be in connection with those now at Sixteenth street. When the coast route is completed these shops will be transferred so as to be alongside of the main line.” Considerable work in the shape of im- provements in the roadbed of the Southern acific are being made at the present time. In San Gorgonio Pass ten miles of road is being replaced with the new pattern 75- pound steel rails, supported on redwood ties, with steel tie plates between the tie and rail. This particular ten miles is also being ballaste with gravel from the ‘Whitewater River. Five miles of this bal- lasting has already been completed. A piece of henvi ballasting has also just been completed between Bakersfield and Pampa, a distance of thirteen miles, and in connection with that bailasting the company has also applied the new tie plates. These plates prevent the rail sinking into the tie, and thus not only preserve the latter, but aid to maintain the smoothness of the road. They Returned the Booty. Representative White of Illinois has had two very remarkable experiences in his life, and both similar in character. In 1880, while leading the anti-Grant faction at Springfield, Ill., sneak thieves entered his sleeping room at the Leland Hotel and stole a vaiuable diamond stud out of his shirt front. _In the course of time it was returned to him by the thieves with an apology to the effect that they did not know the stone was his. Just a vear ago this month his residence in Cnicago was burgiarized, and among the things taken were his watch and chain and his valuable seal ring, once the personal jewel of Pius Antonius, Emperecr of Rome. Mr. White was greatly disconcerted by the loss of his ring and inserted a card in the paper offer- ing a reward for the stolen goods, no ques- tions asked. As in the first case, a part of the booty was returned to him through anonymous channels. This was the ring, which he valued far more than his other losses. The rest was promised, but has never, so far, been forthcoming.—Wash- ington Post.
