An Eastern Firm Looking to the West for Investment. Secretary J. A. Filcher of the State Board of Trade yesterday received a letter from a firm in Indianavolis asking if there are a suflicient number of steam bakeries |'in this City to warrant the establishment of a plant here for the manufacture of steam-bakery machinery, etc. Mr. Filcher in reply said that there were but few bakeries of that class in this City, but that there were between 300 and 4 | bakeries of all kinds here. In conclusion he said: “Such a factory as youn contemplate ought to supply the large bakeries of Port- 7o s CLAY " AT E S3Fc e pm, I/ FERRIES Site of the Pestoffice at the Ferries Where the Working Forces of the Depart- ment Will Be Located. [Drawn from the plans by a ““Call” artist.] ion of the State Board of Harbor Com- m oners to erect a separate building for the convenience of the postal service on the site at the ferries now occupied by the bagzgage-room of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. This new scheme will virtually despense with the usefulness of the new postoflice and United States Court building, which the Government proposes to erect on the site, purchased for the purpose, at the corner of Biission and Seventh streets. It will b used, however, as an administra- tion building and as a general delivery. Anyway, the scheme is to centralize the | forces of the postal department at the water front.

A money-order department, stamp win- dow and general delivery will also be maintained at this branch, which will in every way serve the purposes of a central office, and in the course of time it is hoped the public will become so accus- tomed to the ferry postoffice that no other will be required. 2 According to the new streetcar postal receiving and delivering system, which has met with the encouragement of the Postal Department at Washington, the mail streeicars will receive and deliver the entire mail of the City, and as all the streetcar lines terminate at the ferries it is thought that San Frauciseo will be much better served by the new system. VICTIM OF CRIPPLE CREEK. Banker and Merchant Weinbarg, Now Here, Has Large Losses. Among the ‘arrivals here is C. L. Wein- berg, senior partner.in the Weinberg Shoe and Olothing Company and the Weinberg Banking and Brokerage Company, Cripple Creek, recentiy burned. The gentleman left the big mining camp before either of the three fires occurred, which destroyed it totally, including, of course, Mr. Wein- berg's two big business houses. He says he thinks his Josses will exceed $45,000, the amount stated in one of the dispatches. He thinks the town will be rebuilt, for the mines are extensive and rich, and the people of indomitable energy. About 20,000 of them are homsless, and Mr. Wein- berg fears there may temporarily be some suffering. The gentleman owns a large orange ranch near San Bernardino, and was ex- pecting to go on there when the telegrams ilding.

He was firmly convinced that the woman robbed him as soon as he fell asieep, but he is puzzled to know who could have stolen his hat. He feels sure he could ¢ identify the woman again.

LOST HER ESARRINGS. Emma Smith Charges a Medical Man With Grand Larceny. Emma Smith, 623 Bush street, ex- cashier in a restaurant on Sixth street, swore outa warrant in Judge Joachim- en’s court yesterday for the arrest of T. . Campbell, a medica! man, 23 Grant avenue, on the charge of grand larceny. She said she was taien sick a few days ago and sent for Campbell, He prescribed for her and she paid him his fee. She had a pair of diamond earrings in her ears worth $100, and next day Campbell paid her a visit. He asked to look at her ear- rings, and as she raised her head from the piliow he must have chloroformed her, as she remembered nothing more. When she recovered Campbell had gone and so bad ber earrings. She claimed that Campbell had shown ‘lhe earrings to two people. Besides the grand larceny warrant she also obtained a search warrant. Up to a late hour last night Campbeil had not been arrested. . — May Form a Leagu The Sunday efternoon lectures of Dr, Mor- | gan at Scottish Hall are said to promise early results. It was announced last Sunday thata plan was siready on foot looking towsard the organization of an Evangelical League in this City. It was explamed that this would not necessarily militate lilin!t the existing rela- tions of any person belonging to any Evaneel cal churcn! There are large portions of Serip- ture embraced in the writings of the ancient rophets which are seldom or never discussed n the pulpits. And it s to recover and prope- gate this portion of the Bible that the ieague is roposed. Dr. Morgan is expected 1o speak of rhe *‘Seven Apocalyptic Seals” nextSunday. when notice will be'given as to what measures will be necessary to complete the organization in this City. THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD, Hill, Russell, Pattison and Car- lisle as Presidential Timber. A WESTERN MAN IS WANTED. Preferences Expressed by Several Leading Demociats of Cali- fornia. The meeting of Democratic conventions in some of the Eastern States and the voice of Pennsylvania instructing for ex- Governor. Pattison of that State have caused Democrats in San Francisca to talk of Presidential cardidates. The National convention of the party will be held in Chicago some time in July, but the interest in the coming event 1s not suficiently active to cause -the lights of the party in this region to remembver the exact day of the meeting. Itis acknowl- edged, however, that a convention will be held and a candidate be nominated. Jobn Boggs of Colusa may well be designated as one of the war-horses of the Democratic - party in this: State. His Democracy dates- back to ‘the days of Jackson. ‘He has served his party in National and State conventions, in the Legislature and in public boards and com- missions. In that notable convention of Democrats at San Jose ten yearsago, when George Hearst was defeated for the gubernatorial nomination by General Stoneman and the outhern Paci John Boges was the pre- ing officer and gained laurels for wis- dom and patience. - The “‘sage of Colusa, s Mr. Boggs is called, was in town yester- day. He spoke of Democratic possibilities in a nominating sense. He said: “I believe the Democratic can- didate for President should come from the West. Iam not sure that Carlisle is just the man we need to lead the party in'the next campaign. There will be no trouble in finding good men, but I am inclined to think that it would be a mistake to nomi- nate an Eastern man. “‘The convention at Chicago,” continued Mr. Boggs, *“'should not meidle too much with the money question. The settlement of that issue should be left mainly to Con- gress. Our representative in Congress will understand the subject fully as well as the delegate to the g{mional conven- tion, It should be understood. that the candidate of the convention should, if elected President, allow Congress to legis- late on the matter without executive in- terference.” Arthur Rodgers, regent of the univer- sity, lawyer and orator, is a sound-money Democrat. This means that he is opposed to the coinage of too much silver at the ra- rate of 16 to 1, but that is not his definition of sound-money doctrine. In gazing about for the discovery of another Democratic Moses Mr. Rodgers permits his eye to rest on ex-Governor Russell of Massachusetts. | The attributes of statesmanship which the Massachusetts Moses may not in fact pos- sess are readily supplied by Mr. Rodgers' imagination, which does invest Mr. Rus- | sell with political genius and great patriot- ism. “Mr. Russell belongs to the school of | pure-minded and able statesmen. He | commands the greatest influence and re- | spect where he is best known. His su- perior abilities have brought sneme to | attention. A man of his type shoafT s care the Democratic nomination for Presi dent.” “But he is a hard-money Democrat,” | interposed the interviewer. “Soem I;soam I,” rejoined the regent. ‘When a broad-minded ilepnbhcnn Pres)- dent guides thedestinies of t'rance and an | able-bodied Democratic President holds the reins of Government in the United States Raphael Weil is happy. The se- renity of his joy imparts to his counte- | nance a light ““iike that the limners gave to the beloved disciple.” To Mr. Weil's | mind there may be in the future other Democratic Presidents in this country, but | eveland is the one and only true Moses. | Speaking of Democratic possibilities he | said: “Russell is a good man. Pattison isan able man. Cariisle is well known for his ability, but he has been in public life a long time and his position on the g i of finance has not been consiste ney is a stroug Democrat, but Ru longs to the young ana progressi ment of the party and would make an ex- cellent candidate.” Dr. George Chismore, the new president of the Bohemian Club, who may become famous as the only Democrat eiected to office in the year 1896, wives free rein to his admiration for David B. Hill of New York. The genial doctor reads all of Hill's s{:?eches and regards the Senatoras one of | the foremost statesmen of the day. “Hill's reply to Gorman,” said Dr. Chismcre, ‘‘was masterly. His defense of the auministration stamped him a states- man. Then, ke is sound on every public question. 1 doubt if the Democraiic con- vention could nominate a better or a stronger candidate.” John E. Budd, brother of California’s Governor and a Regent of the State Uni- versity, in speaking of Democratic Presi- dential timver, saic: “The nominee of the Democratic convention should come from the West. Hill, Russell and Patti- son may be able men, but the people demand a Western man. I cannot say now to whom the nomination should be iven.”” 5 Jere Lynch, ex-State Senator, is giving more attention to the workingsof the Hale & Norcross mine than to political subjects. “It is too early,’” he remarked, ‘‘to talk of Democratic candidates for President. There will be plenty of time to consider the subject after the Republicans name a canaidate.” Ex-Postmaster William Bryan isa Demo- crat of the old school who has held office under Federal and local anspices. He says that the Occidental Club ias no favor- ite candidate for the Democratic nomina- tion. Inregard to Carlisle, Mr. Bryan re. marked: ““Outside of the Federal office- hoiders I do not hear ‘much talk of Car- lisle. I hear occasional preferences ex- pressed for Whitney. I think he has a strong following in the party. He is rated as a_ statesman of first-class abiiittes, and would command the full strength of the party.” THE PLAGUE INCREASING, Arrival of ithe O. and O. Steamship Dorie Making a Quick Trip. The Oriental and Occidental steamship Doric arrived last night about 9-o’clock, 12 days 22 hours and 18 miu. from Yokohama, her first trip, and the fastest one on record from the Orient. Her coming was a sur- prise, as she was not expected. She brings 9 cabin passengers, and 287 . Chinese, 19 Japanese and 4 whites in the steerage. The vessel did not stop at. Honolulu, and conseguently brings no news from the isl- ands. She brings aclean billof health, but will be fumigated by the quarantine officials this morning. . The cabin - passen- rers will be landed after an examination, But those in the steerage will be detained a while at the quarantine station. From advices it 1is learned that the plague in Hongkeng is - beginning to assume more serious dimensions. There have been as many . as eighteen cases in one day and the total up to April 6 was three huncéred and eighty-three. In Japan no case Lias occurred since that of the Chi- nese youth, who landed surreptitionsly from the Gaelic and died at the Chinese hospital in Yokohama. A violent storm swept over central Japan during the pight of April 13. At a place called Matsuye, in the province of Izumo, fifty-five fishing boats were swept out to sea and nothing is yet known asto the fate of their crews, numbering three hundred and fifty men. e The men from the sailing schooner Alton belonging to this- port were lost in their hunting boat, March 30, on the coast of Japan. There sufferings were intense be- fore they were rescued by the natives. Tney were Hans Isaacsen, Victor Carlsen and Fred Bartlett, all well known here. e HER POCKET PICKED. Mrs. Geary Loses Her Purse and Jacob Ganib Is Ajrested for Stealing It. Mrs. Geary of 208 Jones street and a lady friend were standing at Ellis and Market streets last night watching the paradé of the Salvation Army when she feit some one abstracting her purse, containing $10, from Ler pocket. She turned quickly round and noticed a man, who slunk away. ~She searched for. a policeman, but could not find one, and then she and her friend hurried to police headquarters and reported the theft. Detectives Graham and Gillen were detailed on the case and in less than- half an hour tney arrested Jacob Ganib and took bim to Mrs. Geary’s house. - She at once identified him as the man who had Been standing beside her. He was taken to. the City Prison 2nd booked on the charge of grand larceny. Mrs. Geary will swear out a warrant this morning. = When searched $15 in gold and 15 cents -in silver were found in his pockets, Ganib said_he was a biacksmith and came from Crescent City a few days ago. He denied stealing the purse. CONTEST IN THE FIFTE, Mr. Higgins Made a Protest, but Was Mistaken as to His Facts. THE CASE IS CONCLUDED. On Next Saturday Morning the Com- mittee Will Decide all the Contests. The Congressional Committee of the Fifth District continued its investigation yesterday morning into the Thirty-seventh Assembly District primary election squab- ble. The committee met in the office of John E. Richards in the Crocker building, James W. Rea in the chair, and John E. Ricnards, Robert Toplitz, Al Stetson and James Alva Watt present. Judge Marcus J. Waldheimer appeared for the contestants and Ed Donnelly as- sisted him. The first witness called was a man whom none of the committee knew, and who was introduced as Frank T. Donavan. Mr. Donovan told the commitiee that he (did not vote at the primaries, yet there ap< peared on the poll-lists the name of “F. T. Donovan, 610 Hayes street.” At the time of the primaries the witness lived at 397 Hayes street. He now lives at 6163 La- guna. The committee were of the opinion that Mr. Donavan’s statement proved nothing, | because there might have been an F. T, Donovan in the City other than than the Frank T. Donavan who appeared be- | fore the committee. John Higgins of 320 Oak street voted at the primaries, and he objecied to the entry on the poll-lists of the name of J. Higgins, 19 Oak street. - He did not be- lieve there was such a person. The com- mittee showed Mr. Higgins his mistake by exhibiting his name and residence on the poll-list and also the name and resi- dence of J. Higgins 0f 19 Oak street on the poll-; and the great register. A. W. Johnson voted at the primary, but could not find his name on the polil- list. Instead there was the name of “A. W Mr. Johnson saw his ballot put into the box. “Then it was counted,” said Chairman Rea, “and vou have not suffered any.” “You would drop this contest,’ Mr. Rea of Judge Waldheimer, you found that there were not fraudulent votes enongh to reverse this election?’’ *If we can get fifty respectable ,respon- sible citizens and business men,” replied the Judge, “who wiil swear that they didn’t vote at the primaries, but that their names are on the . poil-lists, we will ask that the election be reversed.” “Under that protest,” said Mr. Rea, “Jim Budd couid not have been seated.’ This was all the evidence except the affi- davits of fivecitizens who swore that when they presented themselves at the polis their ballots were refused, because, as they were informed by the election officers, some one else had voted in their names. Judge Waldheimer made a little speech witn the fire of eloquence in his eye and his plug hat in his hand. He remarked that fraud is the creation of superior minds and that tbe detection of frand is the product of an abler mind. He had no doubt that the committee would decide the matter fairly. After having received permission to copy the poli-lists the contestants with- drew. The committee went into secret session, and at the end of a half hour an- nounced _that they would render & de- cision at 11 4 next Saturday. ELABORATE M:MOCRIAL MUSIC.

SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1896. A SONG TOLD HIS STORY Mysterious Disappearance of a Prominent Young Church Member. WHERE IS THOMAS BARNES? A Pathetic Air That It Is Thought Made Him Temporarily Insane. ‘The mysterious disappearance of Thomas Barnes, a bright and highly respected young man, is causing the greatest alarm among his friends and the congregation of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Churels, Six- teenth and Noe streets, of which he was:a prominent member. Before coming: here about a year ago Barnes was a schoolteacher in Oregon and had a first-class certificate. As he failed to get a position as teacher he had been working for some time for A. Bonig, 8 Clipper street, who has a cracker route for the American Biscuit Company. He lived with the Bonig family. A week ago last Wednesday Bonig and Barnes started together to go over the route. Barnes was sent {o the grocery on Eighteenth and Capp streets for an order and that was the last seen or heard of him. Mr. and Mrs. Bonig waited patiently for Thomas Barnes. 2 day or two expecting that. he had possi- bly met some friends and would -turn up all right, but as time wore on they became anxious-about him and called npon Rev. Dr. Bovard, pastor of Trinity Methodist Church. - Barnes “was treasurer of the Young People’s Soeiéty of the church and |-was a favorite with theentire congregation | and the pastor; as he took an-active i terest in the work. His room was v and in the pockets of the trousers he wore on Sundays the money belanging to the society was found. It then dawned ‘upon' them that some- thing serious must have happened to the young man. ‘Al his clothing and other personal effects were in hisroom and he had taken motbing with him except the othing he wi The day before his dis- he apparently had that amount with him, as it was not in his room. It was decided to notify the police and Detective Harry Reynolds was detailed on the case.. He has'made the most diligent inquiry, but has been unable to find the slightést trace of the missing young man. Turee weeks ago to-night Barnes was at the Epworth Methodist Episcopal Church at an entertainment. A dialogue was given there which he thought seemed to outline his career in leaving home. He came to Dr. Bovard the following Monday and said he thought that it had been made asathrustat bim. . Heseemed to be labor- ing under some sort of hallucination. He was very much cxcited over it and seemed to think something underhanded regard- ing him had deen done. Looking for a theory for his departure, Dr. Thomas Fleicher, one of the gentle- men associated with the church, who has taken an active interest in the young man on-account of bis earnest enacavor in the anity, said yesterday that of the Floating Christian Endedvor Society, of which the Mariners’ Church is the headquarters. *‘If this dia- logue worried him,” said- Dr. Fletcher, *1f he thought he had wronged his par- entsinany way by departing, he might have quietly embarked oa one of the ships and gone home in that way. I think my- self that he is mentally deranged from some cause or other, though up to this time he showed himself to be a good, sen- sible boy, and was always ina good humor and working during his leisure hours for the advancement of religion.”” Mrs. Bonig also throws some little light upon the mystery. She says that on Sun- day night previous to his disappearance Barnes accompanied her to church. Daur- ing the service cne of the ladies in the choir sang *“W here Is My Wandering Boy To-night?'’ and he appeared to be deeply affected by the airand tne pathos of the words. He was strangely absent in his manner all that night and was worse the following two days. He was a young man of exemplary babits. He neither smoked. nor drank, and all his spare cash was spent in buying lawbooks, which he read with avidity. His ambitinn was to become a lawyer, and his nights were spent in deep study. Besides being treasurer of the Young People’s Societ%of the church he was a member of the Band of Hope and of the Foresters’ organization. In his room was found a letter from his brother J. B. Barnes, 63 Woeppel avenue, Buffalo, N. Y., and the police have com- municated with him. His parents are believed to be in Chicago. - Barnes is an Englishman by birth, 26 or 27 yearsof age, 5 feet 8 inches tall, light hair, blue eyes,smooth face marked with pimples. ‘When thinking he has a habit of covering his face with his band. He wore at the time of his disappearance dark clothes and a black Fedora hat. He was not known }odbe keeping company with any young ady. A BABY SCALDED TO DEATH. Frances Meseini Dies Early Last Even- ing From Injuries Received on Saturday. Frances Meseini, the tiny infant daughe ter of Lorenzo Meseini, who resides at 702 Broadway, died Jast evening at 7 o'clock, the result of scaldy she received by the accidental overturning of a pot of boiling water last Saturday evening. At the time of the accident 2 bath was being prepared for an older sister and the little child, who was playing on the floor, overturned the hot water. Fora few-seconds the child was completely enveloped in the scalding fluid and wnen pick up from the floor it was found that the flesh had been com- pletely cooked in several places on her iittle ¥. A physician wes hastily sum- moned, but a cursory examination con- vinced him that the child had been fatally burned. She lingered along, however, un- til last evening, when death ended her misery. — A Fraudulent Solicitor. ‘Word has reached the president of the San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children that some person unknown to them is circulating a petition asking contributions of money for the Nursery for Homeless Children.
