WARROW ESCIPE OF THE GARTEA Caught in a Severe Gale Off the Farallone Islands. LOST SOME OF HER YARDS Unemployed Vessels Crowding |- Into Richardsons Bay to Lie Up. DESERTERS FROM THE DIRIGO. They Arrived From Honolulu on the American Bark Martha Davis Yesterday. The Norwegian bark Gartha, which ar- rived from Antofagasta yesterday, with a cargo of nitrate, had a narrow escape on the 24th inst. The vessel was off the Far- allones and Captain Tengelsen was pre- paring to dress shipin honor of the British Qu:en’s birthday. All went well until a small clond ap- peared on the horizon, and then danger was scented. The captain examined the barometer and found the glass falling. He ordered the sail shortened, but before the men could carry out the order the fore upper topsail and main top gallant yards | were carried away. Heavy cross seas kept the vesselin a dengerous position for many hours, but finally she was got before the wind and damages were repaired. The storm was ridden out and port finally reached. The Gartha is one of the prettiest barks that have reached San Francisco in many months. In spite of the heavy weather encountered she is as clean as a yacht, and | people who boarded her yesterday said she was as trim alow as aloft. She is loaded with nitrate and is here seeking a charter. The chances are that she will join the fleet now at anchor in Richard- | sons Bay. The British ships Ecclefechan and Orion joined the Sausalito fleet yesterday. There is no chance of a charter, so their owners determined to lay them up. The barkentine S. N. Castle went to the Fulton Iron Works yesterday to take aboard = set of boilers for the new Hawai- ian steamer James McGee. The latter is at Honolulu and has already received her machinery from this port. As soon as her boilers are placed in position she will have hre‘x;ltrinl tripand be put in the inter-island e. § The cruiser Philadelphia will be open for inspection to-day. The Ethel and Marion will make hourly trips to her from Clay-street wharf, and should the weather be fine thousands will avail themselves of the opportunity to view the admiral’s flag- ship. Tgm British ship Blackbraes from Liver- pool for San Francisco has had many un- fortunate experiences. A few hours after getting under way she ran into a hurricane and Captain Chisholm put back in distress. Early in January ske made another start and was in collision off Birkenhead. | Again she returnea to port anad aiter being repaired made another start. A few days ago she put into Monte Video leaking and with her rudder damaged. Yesterday came the news that her cargo was afire. She is loaded partly with coal, the remain- ing space being filled with general mer- chanaise. Howard-streét wharf had a narrow es- cape a few days ago. The Samaria was discharging blacksmiths’ coal into the bunkers and also in sacks on the wharf. The latter exploded and a still alarm was turned in. The chemical engine was first on the scene and soon drowned the fire. Had the firemen been less prompt, how- ever, the fire might have developed into a serious conflagration. The only American steel buiit ship in the world—the Diri;:o—iu}fening into ill- repute. She left here for Honolulu to load sugar and on arriving at that port the crew deserted. They say—that is, those who have reached San’ Francisco—that they - were not half fed and had to do double work. Two_of them got away on the British sbip Hollinwood and two arrived yesterday on the bark Martha Davis. They made themselves a bed among the sugar in the hold of the bark, and aithough the captain of the Dirigo and the Honolulu Chief of Police searched for them their hiding place covld not be found. When the finnhn Davis was out- side the reef the men came on deck, and sooner than put back to land them Cap- tain Soule brought them to San Francisco. They say that all hands attempted to de- sert on account of ill-trentment, but that all were arrested except four. According to them the ship was a heil upon earth and thbe captain and officers fiends in- carnate. The water front will be gay to-morrow. The Corintbian Yacht Club will hoid its annual regatta. The South End Rowing Club will also celebrate at El Campo and several excursions around the bay will be in order. El Campo, the favorite picnic ground, is now in all the glory of its sum- mer drees and whoever visits it to-day may rest assured of an enjoyable fime. The old Couzens drydock was removed from its moorings yesterday and is now anchored off the Mission Rock. In future the Merchants' drydoek will handle all the business. AGAINST SILURIANS. Southside Executive Committee Urges the Supervisors to Narrow the Folsom-Street Sidewalks. The executive committee of the South- side lmprovement Club held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to consider what plans should be pursued in the mat- ter of narrowing the sidewalks on Folsom street, between Third and Ninth, in light of the recent action of the Street Commit- tee of the Board of Supervisors in setting asidetheir petition for thirty days. The following resclutions as a result of the meeting were drafted and adopted: WHEREAS, Efforts have been made for the iast thirteen months to improve the Mission and Southside'districts, and the Supervisors have let a contract to repave Folsom street, from Sixth to Nineteenth; and whereas, this work is now under way and, when completed, will be an ornament to not only that portion of the City, but an improvement whick will be used by ail sectious: and_whereas, a few silurians have petitioned the Board ot ‘Supervisors not to accede to the expressed wishes of a great majority of the property-owners between Third and Ninth streets, as set forth in their ttion, to uarrow the sidewalks- of these locks on Folsom street; therefore, be it Resolved, That the executive committee of the Southside and Folsom-street clubs urge the Board of Supervisors to override the protest of the minority and accede to the wishes of the large majority, as expressed in their petition, said petition numberin{..boul 5008 feet as gainst 1400 feet of silurian protestants, SUGGESTED BY BLANTHER AND DUNHAM.

The Norwegian Bark Gartha, Captain Jengelsen, Which Lost Her Main Topgallant and Upper Topsail Yards on the Queen’s Birthday, One Hundred Miles Off San Francisco. [Sketched by a ““ Call ™ artist.] NOT =JaY" BUT RATHER ARTISTIC, Beautiful Display by the Local Mosaic Glass Makers IN THE CITY HALL DOME The Commissioners in a Quan- dary as to Which Designs to Choose. THE GEOMETRIC IS FAVORED. Human Figures Said to Appear Fore- shortened on a Concave Trans- . parent Surface. Auditor Broderick would like to have four or five domes on the City Hall, in- stead of only one. He expressed that opinion yesterday afternoon in the hibrary of City and County Attorney Creswell as he was examining the designs exhibited there from which a selection is soon to be made for the mosaic glasswork to form the inner dome. There are acting Mayor Taylor, Mr, Creswell and Mr. Broderick, as City Hall Commissioners, who must make the selec- tion, and upon their judgment must stand or fall this City’s reputation for good taste | or the lack of it. Fortunately these gentlemen cannot possibly go wrong to any very great ex- tent, not, perhaps, that they might not do so from an artistic standpoint if an oppor- tunity presented itself, but from the fact that all the exhibits are good, like excel- lent wine, a matter of taste alone making one more appreciated than the other. The Commissioners advertised for bids some weeks ago inviting competition on the contract for the mosaic glass dome which is to adorn the inside of the recently constructed bronze dome, on the apex of which Rupert Schmid’s beautiful statue of Justice has been placed as a permanent fixture. An outside figure of $5 a square foot was stipuiated for the main panels, twelve in number, and for otuer and less important work an allowance of $3 and $250 was al- lowed as maximum figures, The bids were opened a couple of days ago, but only two concerns followed the lines indicated, the others bidding for the work at a set price for the entire work. The bids were as follows: California Art Glass Works, $19,781, $15,945: Thomas C. Butterworth, $20,779, $14,839; F. N. Woods & Co., $15,69%. These figures were lumped, giving a maximum and minimum _price according as to the desiré of the Commissioners to select figure or geometrical designs. Two other firms entered the competi- tion on the so much per foot proposition. They are W. P. Fuiler & Co. and the Pacitic American Decorating Company, both making bids on the total work sev- eral hundred dollars less than the other bids, the Pacific American Decorating Company being the lowest. But then, speaking of art, it does not seem in good taste to mention the.coast, although the Commissioners do not ap- pear to be of that opinion. They e caused the various competitors to file their drawings and each day they survey them, shake their heads and go away undecided. The cost of that beautiful dome is the stickler, and they are not in a hurry to make a choice of designs for fear of criti- cism as to their judgment. It is likely, therefore, that with the designs being so nearly even as to beauty ana merit the lowest bid will take the contract. From an artistic standpoint this L‘ity may well be proud. She may be “jay,” according to Foli, Lottie Collins and James J. Corbett, so far as singing, dancing and drama go, ‘but she certainly can produce artists in mosaic glasswork of which any country might be proud. Thomas C. Butterworth has furnished the drawings of the work he proposes | dojng if he is the successful competitor. The main features he presents are figures in heroic panels. ‘‘Commerce,” twelye feet in height and proportionally built, seated on & wing chariot, is one of the main mnels. Others, representi “*Scenery,” rama,” ‘‘Literature,” ence,” ‘““Justice’” and *“Mining,” are also designea. Mr. Butterworth's work goes mainly to figures, his success at which in church windows has made him a name in this country. The California Glass Company also runs mainly to figures, allegorical and other- wise. " As a matter of fact nearly all the bidders excepting the Pacific American Decorating Company have run in the old- time style, copying beautiful but well- known models. A “The last-named-institution has devoted its efforts principally to geometric de- signs, claiming, with some degree of logic, that the panels placed in the dome must be concave in shape, and being transparent as well, a perspective cannot be obtained. Hence, excepting when viewed from a pre- cise point of uuuge. the human figures must necessarily be distorted. it As there are twelve panels o be viewed but one figure could show up well, while the other eleven must present foreshort- ened appearances. Y This is wel} understood by fresco artists whose work is on the opaque. They in- variably avoid placing fizures where a con- cave occurs, reserving flat surfaces or panels for them. The Commissioners have been taking art lessons galore of late and they have an ele- gant opportunity to choose from a lot of meritorious work. Each exhibitor has ample displays both in figure and in geometrical designs and it is more than probable the latter will be the choice. BRONKE'S TROUBLES. Husband and Wife Make Serious Charges Against Each Other. The Bronke family bad their day in court yesterday, before Judge Campbell, and ¢hey entertained the Judge and the usual courtroom audience with sensational charges and counter charges against each other, " They liveat 1336 Alabama street. Herman Bronke is an assayer. For a long time past, while the couple have re- sided under the same roof, they have not associated with each other any more than they could help. Some time ago the wife endeavored to secure & divorce from Her- man on the ground of adultery, but failed. The last cause for bringing the assayer into eourt was a battery committed by the man upon Mrs. Bronke, so she stated in her complaint. On the witness - stand yesterday the woman testified that on last Saturday night Bronke threatened to kill her. To make good the threat he put the noose of a rope around her neck and started-to haul her up to the gas-fixtures. Neighbors re- sponded to her screams. She also testified that her husband had purposely put rat poison in her food and coffee in order to get rid of her that he might secure her property. Bronke was equally primed with sensa- tional testimony. He said that the woman | was a widow when he married her five | years ago in Milwaukee. He afterward learned that her former husband had been found dead, with five bullets in his head. Bronke asserted that there was a strong suspicion at the time that the man’s vio- | lent death had been the result of the wife's | desire to secure a $2000 life-insurance | policy. Judge Campbell said that he would hear the remainder of the interesting tales on | i Monday. MIXED IN THE AR CASE Peculiar Verdict Returned by the Jury, Which Was" Not Final. b Judge Belcher *R:fused to Accept the Finding as Presented—The Jury Siill Out. The Mars murder case was on before Superior Judge Belcher yesterday, and | trom early in the day nntil late at night the jurymen were endeavoring to reach a verdict. In this case James Holmes, Wil- liam Starr, Daniel Dunn, J. D. McRea, Mat Collins, W. Dowling, E. G. Waltz and | W. McCoy, members of the Lathers’ Union, were accused of having murdered C. A. Mars. It will be remembered that during,the strike of the lathers in the be- | ginning of March Mars had the contract to do the lathing on’ a row of buildings on Fourth and Welch streets. One March 10 he was working at his job, assisted by his son, Charles F. Mars, end a man named Michael Mealy. Finding him at work the strikers sur- rounded the building. They first as- saulted Thomas Mars, a son of the deceased lather, who was carrying bundles of lathe to his father and the other men. His outcries brought his brother, Charles F. Mars, ‘to the rescue, but he, too, was assaulted and quickly overpowered. In the meantime some of the strikers had reached the room where Mars the elder was working. What happened in the room is not known. That there was a desperate fight was evident, tor when the lather was rescued he was so dazed he could not speak. He had been badly beaten about the head and face, but be managed to reach home with some assist- ance. There he became urconscious. From March 10 until March 19 he re- mained in 8 semi-unconscious state. He could not speak af any Lime after reaching home and on March 19 he died. s, The Coroner’s autopsy revealed but little more than that he diea from some injury to the brain caused by blood pressure. At 5:30 o'clock the jury returned with a verdict practicslly acquitting McRea, but finding the other defendants guilty of in- voluntary manslaughter, ‘not amounting to felony.” Judge Belcher refused to accept this ver- dict on the ground that involuntary man- slaughter is of itself a feiony. The fore- man called attention to ‘the Judge's charge, in which he explained what con- stitutes manslaughter in these words: “It is of two kinds., First, voluntary upon a sudden quarrel or heat of sion ; second, involuntary in the commission of an unlawful act-not amounting to felony, or in the commission of an unlawful act that might produce death, ete.” Judge Belcher explained that *“not amounting to a felony” referred to the word “act,” and not to manslaughter, He told the jury to_again retire and decide upon a verdict. Later in the evening they ‘were taken out to dinner. Not being able to decide Judge Belcher went away and the jury was locked up for the night.” The Judye will meet with the jury again this morning. % BOLD BURGLARS IN" RICHMOND. Residents of the District in Constant Dread of Them. ANGELL'S HOME LOOTED The Thieves Entered Ffom the Rear and Stole Money and Jewels. PROTECTION SOCIETY FORMED. Raising Chickens Had to B: Aban- doned B'cause the Fowl Were Stolen. Burglars have been so active in the Richmond District of late that many of the people out there are living in fear of thieves. The Richmond residents do not feel easy at night in consequence. This precaution is the result of the daring burglaries committed in that dis- trict from time to time within the past year. 8o bold have the thieves become that the idea of raising poultry has been aban- doned altogether, for no sooner is the cackle of the chicken heard than the roost is raided. Hence the ladies out there have had their chicken-coops torndown. Outhouses have to be lccked and stabies and woodsheds secured, as even a solitary harness-strap or lonely ax or saw is car- ried off by the light-handed burglar. A system of exchange vigilance has been established by the people, so that when one family leaves home the neighbor un- dertakes the care of the property. Unfortunately for T. W. Angell, who re- sides at some distance from any neighbor, this good fellowship did not extend to him, ana as a consequence his house at 112 Third avenue was entered through the kitchen window last Monday evening, be- tween 7 and 9 o’clock, and $150 worth of jewelry taken. Tne burglars were familiar with the habits of Mr. Angell's hous hold. It was the custom of Mrs. Angell after dianer to go to her husbhand's store on Third street to accompany him home about 9 o’clock.. This was done Monday eveningas usual, and as the evening was very warm and the neighbors deserted the inside of their dwellings for the more cooling location of the doorsteps and the sidewalks, she felt quite easy in ber mind regarding her home. But in this she was mistaken, for on her reiurn she found her roomsin a disordered cond#tion. Every drawer had been emntied on the floor and her jewelry was missing. The thieves evidently haa been surprised as the silverware which was exposed to view, had not been touched. An examination of the premises showed that the thief or thieves had climbed over the back fence and forced open the dining- room window, thereby gaining an en- trance. Asis customary, the police are looking for the thieves and the stolen property. The Richmond district has but two po- lice officers. Those guardians have to patrol an area of about two square miles, which the people living out there think is too much to insure them the protection they are entitled to. Let the cause be what it may, the Rich- mond district is profitable camping-ground for thieves. CLERK CURRY'S EXPENSES. Estimates of Financial Needs for the Coming Fiscal Year. County Clerk Curry has filed with the Auditor his estimate of expenses for the coming fiscal year, as follows: Clerks, $126,600; stationery, books, printing, etc., $6000; printing transcript on appeal in criminal cases, $6000. Total, $138,000. Mr. Curry figures that the transcript on appeal in the Durrant case will cost the City “ 2500. The Park Commissioners have also esti- mated their financial needs, as follows: Construction—Buena Vista Park, H electrie_plant, $18,000; building for electric works, $3000; new bridge, ,000; bridle paths, $12,500; footpaths. $15,000; music stand, $5000; great highway, $6000; bicycle paths, £7500; waterpipe, $10,000; improve- ments of grounds, $25,000; planting arbor- etum, $2500; new cases for museum, $4500; loam for forest trees, £60,000.
