The favorite was a close third. Track and Paddock Items. Jockey Cole, who piloted Marble Rock in the opening race, was indefinitely sus- pended by the judges for indifferent rid- ing. Had Ike Johnson, who rode Perhaps, contented himself with letting Easel and Clara Wilson race their heads off and made his run in the stretch, Neil & Coney’s gelding would have come pretty near tak- ing the long end of the purse. The attention of horsemen is called to the fact that acceptances for the St. Louis inaugural handicap are due to-day. Tom Griffin will leave for Louisville on Suaday with his good colt Sir Vassar, who will be a starter in the Kentucky Derby. The jockey-owner intends piloting the colt himself, providing he can make the weight. Dow Williams announces that he will dispose of his horses Venus, Midas and Sport McAllister, and retire from the racing business. . While watching Perhaps Willie Flynn on Meadow Lark came very near being caught napping 100 yards from the wire by Cochran on San Marco. He perceived his danger just in the nick of time and won cleverly. THE SUNKEN BLAIRMORE No Attempt Has Yet Been Made to Recover the Six Dead Sailors. CAW CENSURES THE RESCUERS Angry Because His Vessel Was Dam. aged—A Court of Inquiry to . Investigate. The tides ebb and flow over the sunken lairmore with her lost sallors, and a geatle breeze blowing up Mission Bay is | the dying out of the southwest gale of Weadnesday’s dreadful drama. Marine surveyors and engineers a2ad curious vis- itors have gone down to the spot where the long yellow hull shows a few feet of its length above the ripple of the waves, but | nothing has disturbed the quietude of the dead in their iron tomb. The surviving seamen with the indiffer- ence of their class are looking forward to life in another vessel, and the skipper, be- reft of ship and crew, walks the water iront and tells the tale of disaster. His brother captains looked from their own decks at his topheavy vessel and noted that noble craft’s death wallow from side to side like a wounded thing. The master of a tug saw the doom-d fabric bowing down to the impending strike and offered an assistance that was refused. Captain Caw sent his men into the dark hold—that fatal cage—and turned his at- | tention to the flower-pois on the quarter- | deck that were being overturned by the | deep listing of his imperiled vessel.

At low water the hole cut in the bilge is about two feet above the water, consequently a diver may enter there and search for the remains for a short time each tide. Then the hole will be patched up and the task of righting the ship will begin. Powerful tugs and lighters, chains and hawsers will be called into use for the herculean labor and she will be pulled, if possible, on an even keel. Then the great mass must be kept in that position till she is worked into shal- low water, where the steam pumps will do the rest. :Her lighter spars and yards were in all probability broken and wrecked when she toppled over, and when she ap- pears from the bay she will be a melan- choly spectacle. No time can be set for the completion of the work, but its cost will climb up into tbe tens of thousandsof dollars rapidly. The surviving seamen are at the Sailors’ Home, where the British Consul has pro- vided them with temporary quarters and necessary shifts of clothing. They, sailor- | like, will simply wait for time and tide that will bring them the next ship. A week from to-morrow a bay excursion will be given in the steamer Caroline, under the auspices of the British ship cap- tains in port, for the benefit of the family of the dead mate, Thomas Ludgate. They are represented to be living near London, England, and were dependent for support on his slender wages, which are now cut off. Captain Leal of the Caroline will pro- vide everything needful for the trip around the bay. Y W C. A. MUSICALE. A Large Attendance at the Young ‘Women’s Home Last Night.

Will Begin Extracting Ore From the Mine on Monday—Found It in | Good Condition.” James Cronan, the new mining superin- tendent of the Hale & Norcross mine at Virginia City, has sent in his first official report to the board of directors of the company in this City. The report was written on April 9 and was on file in Sec- retary R. U. Collins’ office in the Stock Exchange building yesterday. The new superintendent only took office a few days ago and makes his report in ac- cordance with the requirements of his po- sition. The regulations of the company provide that he must report once a month in writing as to the work performed dur- ing that period, the prospects of the mine and the work contemplated during the thirty days following. This field the re- port briefly covers. Superirtendent Cronan reported that he caused the Haie & Norcross mine to be opened on Wednesday morning last, and onogesiendinz the shaft hel h;nnd it in good shape, requiring very little repairs. The drifts ler:ging to !h;’ltopel mf the 975 level were somewhat broken and caved, and it will probably require a few days before the cars can run from the shaft to the stopes. After this has been done, li:s.extru:tion of -ore will immediately in. {(r. Cronan said that he had made ar- rangements with the Dazet mill of Silver City, three miles from the mine, to crush the ore now in the bins, and which amounts to some 210 tons. The mill will be ready to begin crushing this ore about Monday next. He aiso reported that he had commenced hauling the ore to the mill to dry. Jeremiab Lynch, who was recently elected president of the Hale & Norcross Mining Company, accompanied Superin- tendent Cronan to Virginia City last week and it is quite evident from the report thus early received that they are wasting no time in getting the mine in operation again. It will be remembered that H. W. angerman was not permitted to assume the office of superintendent though ap- ointed just after the election of the new Eonm of directors. He was not acceptable to the miners for some personal reason that has never been explained. Therefore toe directors of the mine, wishing to maintain harmony among the miners and the superintendent and being particularly anxious to bave the mine reopened, tele- graphed to British Columbia for Cronan and he accepted the offer made him and came directly to San Francisco and entered into a contract with the oom‘puy. The new superintendent is one of the best known and most skillful mining super- intendents on the coast. He has been for years at the head of the working forces of the largest mines in Idaho, Montana and British Columbia. He has lately been en- s in developing some of his own claims in the new and -thriving camp at Rossland -in the Canadian province. He bas Lad twenty years’ experience as a min- . ling sapgrintendent. commander’s responsibility begin, and when shall he be called to a strict account- ing for the hapless sailor-lives he sacri- | fices?” | Inashort time the rescued men will be | sailing on to other shipwrecks, the inci- | dent all but erased from their minds, while the captain will be fighting for the | preservation of his master’s certificate be- fore a stern board of inquiry. A diver will explore the dark, uncanny interior of the submerged hull in a few days, and the Coroner may learn just how the sailors died. Possibly it will then -be known whether they were battered and crushed under the hurl and heave and plunge of the rocky ballast and flying haffle of the deep hold or suffocated when the rising water drove the life-sustaining atmosphere from their sunken prison. Among seafaring men there is conjec- ture as to the manner in which death fin- ished those luckless fellows. Captain Caw, bowing under the weight of a calamity that may ruin him professionally, is filled with censure for the machinists who hu- manely tried to release the perishing sea- men by chiseling through the steel skin of the hu]l and speaks of the coming wrath of the insurance companies.” “The men weredead,” he says;"‘why cut boles in my vessel?'” In view of the master's own direful mis- fortune none care now to censure his un- becoming reflection. But there is no doubt that the Blairmore was cranky and rolled freely in the brisk gusts of wina that swept oyer the bay for the last few weeks. The two or three hundred tons of ballast could not balance the metal masts and larger yards and the ponderous weight of her top hamper. . The crew was uneasy, and sailors are not, as a rule, men who are afraid of the wind. They frequently sprang up from sleep in alarm when the level decks heaved upward at a dangerous angle. But the skipper swung at his anchors—a sailor without fear—and his ship is under the waves. Six of his crew are there also, and when he goes home the British Board of Trade will ask why. Superintendents Scott and Dickie of the TUnion Iron Works, who pierced the Blair- more’s side to release her crew, assert that they heard the sounds of living people within, and this encouraged and spurred them on in their attempts at a rescue. They carefally calculated from the beam of the vessel and the depth of the water that she was aground aud could sink no decper.

AR e BUTLER MILLER DISMISSED. Mr. Franklin Loses Faith in His Ser- vant—No Prosecution. Julius Franklin of the firm of Metzger & Franklin has experienced a change of heart toward his putler, Frank Miller. Heretofore Mr. Franklin has espoused the cause of Miller against the theory of Cap- tain Lees, and has maintained a strong belief in the mnocence of his butler. It will be recalled that Captain Lees accused Butler Miller of murderinga tramp in order to win the confidence and grati- tude of his employer. The Coroner’s jury found that the tramp killed by Miller was tr{ing to rob Mr. Franklin’s residence. Yesterday Mr. Franklin discharged Mil- ler, declaring that he could nolonger trust him. What caused this change of heart, Mr. Franklin explained, was that Captain Lees had convinced him, not that Miller murdered the tramp, but that Miller de- liberately lied to him about his (Miller’s) true name and identity. ‘“The only reason that I have cause to distrust the butler,” said Mr. Franklin, *is that I have become convinced that he deliberately lied to me in several instances. Iknow now that his name is not Miller, but Effier. His father is not dead, but is still alive. These facts were presented to me by Captain Lees, and so positively that 1 was forced to see the truth, Then I con- fronted Miller with my evidence and he was forced to admit the truth. “The fellow could give no explanation of his desires to deceive me, nor do I imagine he would desire to have his real reasons revealed.”” Before Mr. Franklin dismissed Miller he notified both Captain Lees and District Attorney Barnes. but both of these officials declared they bad no evidence upon which Miller could be held. e Eastern Crooks Arrested. W. E. Perry, chief clerk for ex-Postmaster Bryan, in the drugstore at Market and New Montfimery streets, under the Grand Hotel, and Edward Moore, a clegk in the shoe- store at 118 Sixth street, have caused the ar- r;ll of Cl;ules !‘:.'lnl and Alvert Crozier on charges of petty larceny. ‘;lll: men are accused of trying the old confi- dence game by swindling the victim outoi a few dollars while making change for a gold iece. pOEe&rl Thomas Stevens aad T. L. Ryan, de- tailed to watch suspicious sirangers in the City, detected the men when they were in the and the tide rapidly rising warned them to hasten. The water rolled into the hole they had cut, filled the vessel and ail life, if any within, was ended. Had the men really been alive, clinging to floating planks in the cold water of that dark hold, berelt of one cheering ray of light, filled with the gloom of a despair that crushed out hope, rising and falling witn the tide, gasping in an atmosphere that was becom- ing more vitiated with the foulness of the bilge and their own breath. when could that great mass of metal have been moved, lifted to have released. them,and how many hours could they have lived where life was all but impossible? The owners of the vessel bave been ad- vised of the disaster by cable and an’ answer will probably be received to-day. Spreckels & Co., who are the consignees, will be given charge of the recovery of the act'of cheating the store-keepers. NEW TO-DAY.

Framer of the Indiana Military Bill Made We:l by Paine’s Celery Compound, Majcr Robbins of the 2nd Indiana State guards, aide on General McKee’s staff and president of camp Gray, has been for two years one of the most influential members of the Indiana legislature and the author of the famous Indiana Military Law of 1889, Mazjor Robbins was a very sick man up to | the time of taking Paine's celery com- | pouna. In proof of what that remarkable rem- edy can do to make a sick person strong | and well, Major Robbins’ letier from In- | diafiapolis best tells its own straightfor- | ward story. “I was troubled with a torpid liver, con- stipation and, the accompanying sallow complexion, while my entire nervous sys- tem was entirely deranged, and I was greatly reduced in flesh. While in this condition I was taken down with a very se- vere attack of the grip, and was fora long time confined to the house and my bed. *I resorted to various medicines and ton- ics, and under their temporary influence made several attempts to resume my busi- ness of traveling about in the interests of A. Steffen, cigar manufacturer of this city; but relapse succeeded relapse, and I not only was obliged to abandon my business but growing gradually worse, became ap- | prehensive of the ultimate result. | ‘*At this juncture, my mother-in-law, who had used your remedy with gratifyin results, prevailed upon me to commence | taking Paine’s celery compound, and it | | P | the advice of s ¢ | one remedy that phys gives me great pleasure to state that I at once bezan to feel its beneficial effecis. “My appetite, which had failed me, re- turned, my constipation ceased. and very soon my liver became normalin itsaction, Following this my sleeplessness and heads aches ceased, and I began to gain flesh. The insidious hold on me that the grip had hitherto had was relaxed, aud I felit invig- | orated and strengthened, so I could resume my vocation, and feel iree from the lan- guid, enervated feeling that had so long sessed me. My friends were pleasantly surprised with the change in my condition, and I ‘was only too happy to recommend Paine’s celery compound to such of my acquain- iances as were suffering from any of the complaints which so comvlicated my case. “Therefore, I again say I feel impelled by a deep sense of gratitude to express how much I have been helped, forI now feel and look like a new man.”’ Phy on Paine’s celery compound—as thousands of the most wide- awake members of the profession are doing, especially now that nearly every ons feels the need of a genuine spring rem- ans know very well what that anguor and that tired feeling means. They know that debility to-day often re- sults in nervous prostration to-morrow, unless the tired system is quickly invig- orated. That 1s why all over the country to-day Paine’s celery ¢ und i scan conscien- tiously call a genuine spring remedy. Try it.
