CARGOES SHIPPED HERE British Columbia Has Secured the Entire Trade of the Yukon. ESCAPE FROM DROWNING. Henry E. ' Truebenbach, the Well. Known Merchant, Fell From an Oakland Steamer. A peculiar state of affairs has arisen in the trade with the Alaskan gold fields. Immense quantities of provisions and general merchandise are being shipped, but every ounce of the stuff is coming from Bntish Columbia. The barkentine C. C. Funk is now loaded with a general cargo and is ready to sail. The steamer Umatilla, which arrived yesterday, has over 200 tons of goods for Forty-mile camp aboard. This will be transhipped into the bark William Bow- den and when she is filled the steamer The City of | Puebla and Walla Walla will bring down | two more heavy consignments and the | chances are that a fourth vessel will have 1o be chartered to take up all the goods offering. Everything is shipped in bond | and in consequence Custom-house officers have to be on watch on the vessels night and day. Henry E. Truebenbach, the senior mem- ber of the firm of Truebenbach & Co., had & very narrow escape from drowning yes- | | terday. When he reached his office at 1 | Clay street in the morning he was not | | feeling very well, so he made up his mind | to take a trip to Oakland. He left for | | home on the 2 ». w. trip and went forward on the lower deck to enjoy the breeze. | When the Oakland was half a mile from | the Market-street landing Mr. Trueben- | back took a seat on the railing. A few minutes later he lost his balance and fell | into the bay. How he escaped being | | struck by the paddle wheel is a mystery | | no one can solve. Captain McKechnie saw the man fall and stopping the steamer ordered a boat lowered. The crew worked | like clockwork, and in six minutes the | drowning man had been picked up and the Oakland was on her way again. Truebenbach was taken into the fire- | room and kept there until a dry suit of clothes was got from his home at 2416 Webster street. He was nothing the worse | an hour afterward for his wetting. | The Pacific Steam Whaling Company’s | tender, the Jeanie, will sail for the Arctic | about the 5th of next month.

Anton Schott, the great German tenor, whose sympathetic rendition of the com- position8 of Wagner has already gained for him 1n this City the esteem of a large number of music lovers who appreciate the best when they hear it, gave another song recital last nigkt at Native Sons’ Hall. His purpose was to review the pre- Wagnerian masters, that he might show the work on which Wagner himself im- proved until he stood in the position of the master of the school in which he had grown up as a pupil. Beginning with von Gluck's “Pylades’ from XpEi enie auf Tauris, and giving a selection from Mehul, from Beethoven, from Weber, from Cornelius and from Loewe, he led up to bis own and his country's favorite, the only: Wagner, whose Hearth Scene, Home Song and Sword Scene he rendered with splendid voice. The programme was varied by piano recitations by Arthur Fickenscher, who rounded out the earlier masters with some exquisite selections from Schubert, Liszt, and those from whom Schott had chosen pieces for his strong, rich voice. There was a good-sized audience, composed of evidently critical musicians who were un- stinted in their applause. ———————— The Hawkins and Ziegler Fight. it is said that Ziegler, who is matched to box Dal Hawkins on Thursday evening, is in good condition, and hopes to win.

One of the Main Entrances Should B: Placed on Merchant Street. When the United States architects planned the lighthouse on this coast they provided steel rods to protect the houses from lightning. When Laver, the archi- tect of the new City Hall, made the plans for that edifice, he followed the enstom of placing the best office avartments and the courtrooms and Judges’ chambers on the north side of the building, where the rays of the sun would not increase the tempera- ture. That was the fashion of architecture in the East, where people in summer seck the shade. Inthis planning the snbordi- nate or back rooms were given the southern exposure, so highly prized in this climate for the sunshine afforded. These defects in the planmng of the new City Hall have been explained to the United States architect, who is now pre- varing plans for the new Postoffice. When Le was out here a few months ago he saw for himself that the old-fashioned plans for public buildings in Cincinnati, St. | on Merchant street, and the persons going The Barkentine C. C.

The plan for this building on Kearny street which seems to be in great- | est favor with the Supervisors proposes to out the best offices on the northern or | (Vnshingtomstreel side of the building | and leave the Merchant-street space for back rooms. A greater mistake could not be made. The main entrances to the building should be on Kearny and Mer- chant streets and the roo most_fre- quently used by the public skould have | the sunlight, which the southern exposure of Merchant street will afford. When the offices of the, Assessor, Aud- | itor, Treasurer, Tax Collector and Mayor were located in the old City Hall, the favorite walk of persons visiting the hall was along Montgomery street to Merchant. This was the route for all who came from | points south of Washington and east of | Kearny. In fact, the main entrance was | > in that way came at once to the leaaing offices. Eighty out of every hundred persons visiting the building will come from the | region of the City south of Washington | street. They will go 1n by way of Kearny or Merchant streets. The most gorgeous and inviting passage- | way on Washington street will not deflect the current of travel. There seemsto bea purpose in the interest of some hotel- keepers to make the public travel a block out of the way to reach the main entrance | to the proposed hall. | The new building is to be paid for by the | taxpayers of the City at large and it should | be constructed to provide for the conven- ience of the greatest number of citizens ANOTHER SAPPHO LOVES AND LEAPS, The Heroine Jumped or Fell From the Wharf Into the Bay.

Two of Them Are Now Serving| Sentences on the Reef at Honolulu. | | The Hawaiian bark Leahi had a perilous | voyage from Australia to Hawaii and thence to San Francisco, The vessel reached port last Sunday, and no sooner | had she come to anchor off the sugar re- finery than the crew quit her in a body. They say that during the entire voyage | they were kept at the pumps, and that under such circumstances life was not worth living. At Kahului they mutinied, snd two of the men are now in jail down there, serving out their sentences. The other members of the crew were put on board in irons, and three Japs were shipped to fill the places of the imprisoned sailors. On the voyage to San Francisco the white men worked the bark and the Japs manned the pumps. As soon as the men get their money they intend laying their grievances before the United States District Attorney, and see what can be done for their com panions in jail. They are all American citizens, and assert that the United States Consul at Kahulai would not do anything for them. The Leahi left Newcastle, New South ‘Wales, three menthe ago for the Hawaiian islands with a cargo of coal. When a few days out, according to the sailors, she sprang lieak, and the men were ordered to the pumps. These were kept going until Kahului was reached, and then the crew mutinied and left the ship. They sought the protection of the American Consul, and that gentleman told them to get a Jawyer. They did so, but at the last | moment the lawyer found there was a | doubt about getting his fee, so he left them in the lurch. They could get no redress, and the Con- sul said he would order them back to the bark, but that they could please them- selves as to whether they went to sea in her or not. They refused to go to sea, and Captain Johnson called in the police. Paul Lhns and Fred Comrie were set down as ring- leaders, and were fined $30 each and sen- tenced totwo months’ imprisonment. The other men were put aboard in irons, and were kept there until the Leahi was ready to sail. According to the men the bark’s foremast-head and mizzen and fore stays are sprung, and that in consequence she required very delicate handling during her long voyage. After discharging the Leahi will go on the drydock for repairs. Fun at Sutro’s. On next Wednesday evening Colonel Thomas P.

A couple of planks were thrown overboard by her companion, but she made no attempt to reach them. A box was thrown from the steam schooner North Fork, and it floated alongside of her as she was going down for tne Jast time. She involuntarily clutched it and managed to hold on until help, in the shape of one of the steamer’s crew reached her. The couple are Miss Ida Owens, who lives on Central avenue, and Henry Chris- tensen, the master of a coasting schooner. | They walked down the wharf in a lovelike | manner, and when opposite the Spreckles’ drydock stopped to look at the North Fork, which was being overhauled. Christensen, according to the men on the steam schooner, made a remark to Miss Owens that roused her anger. She flashed back a remark and he replied. Then she looked up in surprise and apparently asked a question. The man nodded, jumped overboard remains in doubt. The men on the steamer say she jumped, and Miss Owens is equally certain that she tripped. One thing is certain—Chris- tensen’s only attempt at rescue was the throwing of a couple of pieces of scantling overboard after her. Seeing that the woman was in imminent danger Martin Bare, one of the North Fork’s crew, sprang overboard after her. The vessel was in the floating-dock, and the dive must have been one ot about | forty feet, but the brave sailor did not hesitate an instant. One of the vessel's light lires had been left towing astern after the docking, and on coming to the surface Bare seized it, and on reaching the drowning girl made a bowline and put it over her fieud and shoulders and under her arms. He then gave the signal to the men on the drydock and they hauled her ashore. Bare clambered up himself and, not even waiting for thanks, hurried aboard the steamer to change his clothes. When Miss Owens reached the wharf Cnristensen had a hack in waiting and he at once placed her in it. They were hur- ried away, and when the home of Mrs. Jorgensen, on Rincon Hill, was reached the young lady wasat once put to bed. When seen later in the day she did not appear to be much the worse for the duck- ing. She denied naving jumped over- board, but asserted that during an excit- ing argument she tripped and fell. Both Christensen and Mrs. Jorgensen were at her bedside, and the former was doin; everything in his power for the invalia. He laughed at the idea of a quarrei and sa1d it was an accident pure and simple. Martin Bare and the mate of the North Fork assert that Miss Owens stamped her foot in anger at Christensen’s remark, and that when he nodded in reply to her ques- tion she jumped overboard. In anyevent, what at first looked like ending in a trag- edy will now grobably_' end in a wedding as =oon as Miss Owens is able to be out and about again. FOR PUXER FOOD. Inspectors of Bakeries Will Probably Be Appointed To-Day. At the meeting of the Board of Health to-day the matter of appointing inspectors of bakeries will come up. For some time vast the board has been working with ! Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald with a view of improving the samtarv conditions, materials used and the condition of the operatives. In this respect the two offices overlap, and both have been doing good work in cleaning out some disreputable laces. The several bakers’ unions have een of great assistance to the cfficers, and the new inspectors are likely to be selected from the union ranks. Their duties will be to inspect the mate- and | then whether the girl tripped and fell or | g | fore, with the conditions prevailing here, | rials used in the production of food, bread" stuffs, flour, lard, fruits, eggs, butter, ete. The Board of Heaith has evidently de- termined to put a stop to the use of cheap adulterations in food and to see that the sanitation of every bakery in San Fran- cisco is as near perfect as :t can be made. The Labor Commissioner is determined to look after the condition of the workmen in the bakeries. With a strong team of offi- cers it is likely that the bakeries will turn out a better ciass of food and the condition of the operatives be better than ever before. MARRIAGE IN COURT. Samuel Singerman and Rebecea Casmer Amicably Settle Their Dif- | ferences. Justice of the Peace Kerrigan was called upon yesterday morning to unite in mar- riage Samuel Singerman, 31 years of age, and Rebecca Casmer, 42 years of age. The ceremony was performed in Judge Camp- bell’s chambers and the Judge adjourned court for a few moments to be present. Singerman a few weeks ago paid his ad- dresses to, Miss Casmer, who lives at 512 Post street, and finally proposed marriage and was accepted. He told Miss Casmer that he could make money by opening a cigar-stand, as he had been a cigar *‘drum- mer,"” if he had the capital to turnish the stock. She gave him $200 worth of jew- elry to raise money upon, and Singerman absconded with 1it, accompanied by a young woman from Los Angeles. Miss Casmer swore out & warrant for his arrest in Judge Campbell’s court for grand larceny. He was arrested 1 Denver and brought back last Friday by Detective Crockett. Since being in prison he had | renewed his offer of marriage and was again accepted. After the marriage cere- | mony Judge Campbell dismissed the case | against Singerman, and bride and groom left the court together to spend their honeymoon. NEW SHIPPING URDERS, Congress Passes an Act Extend- ing the Time for Unload- ing Vessels. The New Law Will Attract Biggest Ships in the Service to This Harbor. the Collector Wise is in receipt of a circular from Commissioner Chamberlain of the Treasury Department officially notifying him of an extension of time in unloading vessels. This authority is found in an act of Congress approved May 9, reading as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of | America, in Congress assembled, that section 2880 of the Revised Statutes of the United States be amended 50 as to read as follows’ “‘Section 2880. Whenever any merchandise shall be imported into any port'of the United States from any foreign port, in any vessel, at the expiration of ten working daysii the ves- sel is less than 500 tons register, and within fifteen working days if it is of 500 tons register and less than 1000, and within twenty working days if it is of 1000 tons register and less than 1500, and within twenty-five working days if it is ot 1500 tons register and upward, not including legal holidays and days when the condition of the weather prevern the unlad- 1ng of the vessel with safety to its cargo, after the time within which the report of the master of any vessel is required to be made to the col- lector of the district, if there is found any merchandise other than has been reported for some other district or some foreign port, the collector shall take possession thereof; but with the consent of the owner or consignee ot any merchandise, or with the consent of the owner or master of the vessel in which the same may be imported, the merchandise may be taken possession of by the collector aftar one day’s notice to the coliector of the district. All merchandise so taken shall be delivered pursuant to the order of the collector of the district, for which a certificate or receipt shall be granted.” The shipping interesis of San Francisco have been much retarded by the operation of the old law. Veasels were compelled to unload in from eight to fifteen days, ac- cording to the tonnage. This act was passed in March, 1799, and was well enough for the ships then in use. Very few small vessels, however, are | now engaged in foreign trade, ships from 1500 t6 3000 tons being the rule rather than the exception. It was hazardous, there- ! for one of these modern trans-Atlantic | liners to come to San Francisco. The re- | sult has been that ships have gone to such ports as insured prompt unloading of cargo. The Surveyor of the Port and Stewart Menzies began agitating the matter before Congress some months ago, and the result of their labors is seen in the amended act as printed above. SEIFERT IS IN OHIO. Marion County Attorneys Assert Posi- tively He Has Been Soen There Recently. The mystery surrounding the disappear- ance of Henry Seifert, Who was vaguely supposed to have been murdered near Kenwood about May 4, has been cleared up. ‘At least his wife thinks so. Yesterday Mrs. Seifert received a letter from Attorneys Sullivan & Geary of Marion, Ohio, to the effect that the miss- ing man had been seen by several persons near that place. Hee declined, =0 the letter states, to give any reason for his appear- ance there alone. Mrs. Seifert is indignant that she should have been so cruelly deserted and proposes to see'whether there is not some legal re- dress for an abandonen bride of three months. Back of this peculiar action on the part of Seifert is a love affair, which had been going on for some months prior to the binding of the present marriage knot. How Seifert met the lady, now bearing his name, is not known, but itis presumed io have been through a marriage bureau. Inanyevent a long correspondence oc- curred between Seifert and the woman he finally married, the bride-elect going to Youngstown, where the ceremony was performed. It seems if the Marion attorneys are cor- Tect that Seifert grew tired of his Califor- nia bride, and, a[;lpuremly yielding to her influence, sold his property in Ohio and started for the coast. This was merely an excuse to be well rid of her. Prior to his marriage with Mrs, Seifert, so that lady says, he was greatly enam- ored of an Ohio “belle of uncertain sum- mers, but that passion was all lost when he beheld her. At least that was what Seifert told her. Now the bride of three months isin a quandary. She cannot believe that her liege lord has gone back to the first love, and yet respectable attorneys tell her that he has been seen repeatedly in that neigh- porhood. Mrs. Seifert has not yet decided just what her plan of action will be if itis finally proven that her husband is not dead, but hoversin the flesh around his former charmer. She promises, however, to get even in some way, WILL SOON BUILD. Mission Lodge, F. and A. M., Has Pur- chased a New Site. The new building which Mission Lodge No. 169, F. and A. M., has contemplated building for some time past seems now an assured fact, The lodge has been quietly looking around for a suitable locality for its new quarters and has selected a lot on the west side of Mission street, between Twenty-second and Twenty-third. The lot has a frontage of 54 feet on Mission street and a depth of 125 feet. It adjoins on the rear the lot of Emmanuel Baptist Church. “‘Our present lease,” said C. D. Bunker, the secretary of the lodge, yesterday, ‘‘will expire a year from the coming June, and before that time our building will prob- ably be completed. No plans have been made as yet, except the plansin the heads of individual members. “Within a month or so probably, we will have decided upon something definite. Until our new build- ing is completed the lodge will continue to meet at its present lodgerooms at the corner of Sixteenth and Valencia streets.” NEW TO-DAY. 33 Pfister KNITUTING CO. 120 Sutter St., rooms 21-24, 8.

A well-known scientist, who made this dis- covery, has for years past been investigating the habits of men and women who have reached advanced years. He has found that in nearly every case the people who enjoy the healthiest and happiest old age are those who make regular use of some pure stimulant. “After middle life,” he says, “the energies droop and_nature requires stimulating and assisting. For this reason old people who wish to be strong and well should never let a day pass without taking some pure stimulant which can be depended upon.” This is an interesting fact and it clearly shows that scientific men are correct when they tell us that nothing compares with a pure stimulant for building up the system. They also tell us that the safest and best stimulant is pure malt whisky, because it is not only a tonic but a food for the nerves and tissues.
