Alexander McAdie, lightning expert of the | Weather Bureau, says that electric cars on this cosst are mot provided with guards against lightning as Eastern cars are. The fact that Folsom power plant and the Faraliones light- house were burned by lightning leads him to infer there is & possibility of danger to electric cars. THE: PUG AND THE. RABBIT Secretary Holbrook Nipped a Novel Coursing Scheme in the Bud. Fox Terriers and Bulldogs to Run Neck and Neck After Harmless Cottontails. Secretary Holbrook of the Bociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has scored a point in his warfare against cours- ing. He was informed that there was to be something in his line in the new athletic grounds, out near the Presidio, yesterday. He immediately interviewed the responsi- ble parties, and as a result of his action President Newhall of the Union-street cable line issued orders that nothing of the kind would be tolerated there. “I spoke to James Stratton, who bhad endeavored to lease the grounds for cours- ing exhibitions, and he said: ‘Why Lam extremely sorry you take such a peculian view of such matters. The =port isfar from cruel. We start a rabbit about fifteen feet in advance of a pack of pug dogs, fox terriers and Scotch terriers. Nohounds are allowed at all. It requires some time, you know. for such small dogs to kill a rabbit, and then if the killing is prolonged, why we send a man out to dislocate the rab- pit’s neck. He is an expert in such mat- ter-, and the animal does not suffer at all.’ 7 ‘told him,” continued Mr. Holbrook, “‘that I considered it cruel and inhumane. But on that same day Ccn Mooney came to me and tried 10 intercede for Stratton. ‘Why,’ said he, ‘in Encland the elite, you know, go to these thinzs. I replied I did not care whav the elite did in England; that [ knew they were not given to such practices here. Iintend to stop this sport whenever I find that any one is practicing it. I hold it to be extiremely nhumane’ and I feel it my duty to prevent it.”’ e Annual Election of Officers. El Dorado Parlor No. 52, N.S. G. W,, held their annual election yesterday, the result be- ing as follows: Past President, J. G. Joly; president, M. H. Baker; first vice-president, G. C. Gunther; second vice-president, A.

Spreckels. DOWN IN FOURTEEN FATHOMS. The Boilers in the Tug Fearless Will Probab'y B: Placed in the Steamer Czarina. Missionaries for the Alaskan field are plentiful. All the churches are active and Metnodists, Catholics, Greek church and Episcopalians all sent representatives to the far north on the Alaska Commercial Company’s steamer Bertha yesterday. Among the cabin passengers were: J. E. Binet, O. Binet, Mrs. James Wilson, two children and maid; Mrs. Beaumont and two children, Fathers Tosi and Cataldo, Brother Branchoti, William McDonald, M. Eilinger, Rev. Mr. Kortohinsky and wile, Rev. Dr. Chace, Mr. Flewelling, Rev. Mr. Naylor and wife, B. Jones, M. Blatchford, Mrs. Kate Zorn and two children, Captain G. W. Beers, Rev. J. H. Rock, Rev. Dr. Ronig and wife, T. Norris and P. Bishop. Nearly all the clerymen are supplied with cameras, and while they are convert- ing and teaching the Indians they will also make collections of curios and photo- grap s. They expect to be gone for a long time and are all prepared for the Arctic winter. Part of the Bertha’s cargo was the steamer Belle, which is to be used on the Alice. The Belle went up in sections, and twenty-seven carpenters, seven engineers and eight laborers went up on the Bertha | to put her together. Captain John J. Blair will superintend the work, and the new stern-wheeler will be ready for a run to | Forty-mile Creek in August next. 3 The brigantine John D. Spreckels arrived yesterday from Mahukona after a slow passage for her of twenty days. Notime will be lost in getting her discharged, loaded and away again. She was un!oaded this morning and came from the Tefinery to Folsom street. She will be loaded to- morrow, and on Tuesday Captain Christen- sen will'be under way for Hawaii again. While lying in the sugar port the brigan- tine was in a predicament. When ready to sail the anchor was found to be fast under a bowlder. The entire crew could | | |in despair. Finally he enlisted the ser- | vices of a Kanaka diver, and the latter soon set the vessel free. He made two dives down into fourteen fathoms of water, and on the second attempt released the vessel after teing down two minutes and thirty seconds. e was an elde:ly man, butdid not seem a bit distressed cver his efforts and the recompense he received for his venturesome dive into the ocean more than repaid him. Many fish were seen in the water, and Captain Christensen threw in a small piece of lighted dynamite. After the ex- plosion took place the native dived in and brought up five big fish under each arm. When asked by the captain why he brought them up'under his arms instead of in his hands he said: ‘“Plenty of sharks down there, but they won’t eat a Kanaka. They will eat fish, and if I had one in my band the shark would make a snap and take my hand with the fish. Safest way to bring them up is under the arm.” Gus Anderson, the sailor who was beaten and thrown ashore from the barkentine (. C. Funk last Monday, had his revenge in the Police Court last Friday. Captain John Charleton was fined $15, Managing Owner R. W. Schultz $20 and Second Mate D. W. Cuthreli $15. Tne evidence showed that the attack on the sailor was unpro- voked and the three men had badly beaten Anderson. The British bark Almora, from Hull, was caught in a severe squall off the Farallones last Friday, and in it John Bushby, an A. B., nearly lost his life. He was at work on the foreyard, when a suduen squall struck the sail and he was knocked to the deck. When picked up Le was insensible, and when tbe Almora came to an anchor he was at once sent to the Marine Hospital. During the voyage two other men wereinjured, and they were in the sick ward when the bark arrived. The American barkentine Chehalis has just completed a wonderful voyage. She went from San Francisco to Vladivostock in Siberia, thence to Hakodate in Japan and back to tbis port in 103 days. The distance covered is over 12,000 miles, and considering that at each port the vessel had to discharge ar.d load the record is a wonderful one. The barkentine is almost a new vessel, having been built in Wash- ington in 1891. On all her voyages she has made fast time, but on this occasion she has broken the record. Detectives Crocker and Dillon were on the lookout for the steamer St. Paul yes- terday. The vessel got in late in the after- noon and then a search for “Mrs. Jane Reynolds’’ was begun. She was not aboard and neither Captain Green nor any of his officers knew anything about her. Instead of going on the St. Paul at San Pedro she probably came to San Fran- cisco by rail. It is understood that Mrs. Reynolds has made away with some important dosuments wanted in a trial now in progress in Los Angeles. Mrs. Jobn A. Brown, wife of one of the employes of J. J. O'Brien & Co. lost her f,‘"“ on the narrow-gauge train from San afael last Friday. It contained $85, and was found by Conductor Graham. Chief ‘Wharfinger Root telephoned to Sausalito and by the next steamer the purse and money came over. Hughey Smith, the ex-ballplayer, but at present engaged on the State pile-driver, nearly lost his lite vesterday. He fell be- tween the wharf and the pile-driver and bad to be fished vut with a boathook. He was more dead than alive when hauled ashore, buta gentle stimulant soon brought bim round. The boilers of the big tug Fearless will prohably be trausferred to the steamer Czarina next week. The latter is wanted for the Beaver Hill coal trade, and asit will take a long time to build new boilers for ber it is thought better to make the transfer and save time. The Fearless can stand more powerful boilers, and it has been contemplated for some time to build her new and larger ones. Very little tow- ing is being done on the front just now, so this is a good opportunity to lay the tug up and make the change. The Occidental Club had a picnic on the tug Fearlass yesterday. The party was engineered by Superintendent McCarty, and over 200 Democratic politicians went out with him. They did not return until late last night, and’ all apparently had a good time. A man in Bourges 1s still wearing the blouse he had on when the Prussians en- tered France, He swore that he would never wear another, and by means of patches has kept his oath.

BANQUETED BY PORTER ASHE Barney Farley Will Back His Charge, | Joe McAuliffe, to.Stop Corbett E in Ten Rounds. Jim Corbett, the champion heavy- weight pugilist of the world, and the pride of the San Francisco sporting fraternity, signed an agreement last evening to meet Tom Sharkey, ‘‘the pride of the American’ navy,” at the pavilion on the evening of the 23d inst,, in a four-round contest. The match came about in this wise. On | Friday afternoon Corbett with several friends were chatting on matters pugilis- tie, when some one in the assemblage | asked Corbett what he thought of Sharkey | and if he (Corbett) could stop “the sailor” in four rounds. Jim replied in a somewhat jocose man- ner that he certainly should be able to accomplish the trick, but added, “I think and - His Ambitious Challenger. Champion Jim Sharkey 1s the most magnificent specimen of an athlete I have seen in years, and I am of the opinion that he can stomach an awful amount of punishment.” The words were scarcely spoken when a listener darted out in quest of Bharkey and his backer, Dan Lynch. Sharkey grew angry when he was told what Corteell had said, and his backer, Lynch, immediately departed on a hunt for a stakeholder. Five hundred dollars was deposited with a morning paper by Sharkey's backer, as a guarantee of good faith that Sharkey would meet Corbett at a day’s notice if necessary, and il Corbett could prove him- self good enough to stop Thomas in four rounds he could win $5000 of his money. Nothing further was done in the matter until yesterday, but when the champion visited his brother's saloon on Ellis street he was surrounded By a crowd of anxious friends, all of whom wanted to know if Jim really meant what he had said re- garding Sharkey. Corbett replied that he was not making matches to stop figaters in limited con- tests, but that he would fight Sharkey one, two, three or four rounds in this City or any other city where protection would be guaranteed. “I might have said in a joshing way,” remarked Corbett,*‘‘that I could stop Sharkey, you know, but, heavens, can’t a person crack a joke once in awhile with- out having his meaning misconstrued? Possibly, in a contest with Sharkey, [ might stop him in a punch, and ag: it mighttake several punches to accomplish the trick. “Oh, no, I am not making any of those so-called stopping matches, but if Sharkey or any other man will meet me in a hmited contest, with the proviso that the fighter who has the better of the argument at the finish wins, then I am ready to talk busi- ness with any of them. 1 am looking for hard coin, and the way I éxpect to get it is by whipping my men.” Sharkey’s backer, Dan Lynch, had a long consultation with the managers of the National Club last evening. He at first refused to listen to any provosition other than the one accepting Corbett’s alleged challenge to stop Sharkey in four rounds. When Mr. Groom, a director of the club, explained to Lynch Corbett’s feelings in the matter in reference to stopping Sharkey in four rounds Lynch agreed to match his charge against the champion under the following conditions: “If Corbett can stop Tom in four rounds we do not want a cent of the receipts, but if Sharkey will be on his feet and able to resume the contest at the expiration of the fourth round we must have an equal division of the receipts.. Points must not connt in this game, because I am well aware that Tom would not bein it with Corbett scientifically.” Corbett and several of his friends dined last evening, at the invitation of Porter Ashe, at one of the prominent rotisseries, and when he learned at a late hour of the proposition agreed to by Sharkey’s man- ager he smiled and remarked, in the lan- guage of Parson Davies, “Well, let it go at that."” The general opinion .of sporting men about town is that Corbett will have his hands full if he attempts to put Sharkey to sleep in a four-round contest. They argue that if Choynski cannot stop Sharkey in eight rounds, the sailor shounld stand a good chance of fooling Corbett for four rounds. But there are others, and those others who have backed Corbett ia all his fights, who say, *‘with a wink thrown in by way of no harm,” that poor Tom will surely have a picnic and may the best man win. It will be no discrediv to Sharkey if he should fall before the king of purilists of the present day, but so far as Corbett is concerned a chip will be culled from his credit block if he fails to put the pride of the navy nto dreamland in four rounds. If Fitzsimmons can stop the hard-hit- ting Peter Maher in one and a half rounds it looks, on the face of it, that Corbett should find the point of Sharkey’s chin in anywhere from one to four rounds. Corbett's wife has been very sick since her arrival in this City, but her physician stated yesterday that she will be thor- oughly convalescent in a few days, and that all she needs is quiet rest. Barney Farley, the backer and trainer of Joe McAuliffe, has written to the sporting editor of THE CALL a challenge to Jim Corbett which is self-explanatory : Hearing so much talk of late about fighters, I canunot understand why McAuliffe 1s not rec- ognized by the boxing clubs of this City. Now, I will match McAuliffe to meet Jim Corbett at any time that the champion is ready, and if Joe cannot stop Corbett in ten rounds we do not want acent of the gate re- ceipts. The fighters one and all fight shy of McAuliffe, because they know that he is dangerous game and can whip any one of them. What has Corbett to say in the matter? Yours, etc., BARNEY FARLEY. McAuliffe had a scrap last night with Lacey, an old-time feather-weicht, in a Turk-street saloon, but before any damage resulted the pugilists were separated. It is said that McAuliffe struck very wild and his opponent, Lacey, hung onto Joe's coattail for dear life. TO DRILL IN THE PARK. Varines of the Philadeliphia and the Naval Battalion of the N, G. C. Next Saturday, June 13, the sailors and marines of the United States cruiser Phil- adelphia and two companies of the Naval Battalion of the National Guard of Cali- fornia will be consolidated for the pur- pose of an exhibition drill at Go!den Gate Park. In crder to carry out the nlans for the drill some details must be arranged. The Market-street Railroad Companry has been asked to provide five cars for the ma- rines and one ior the band of the’ cruiser Pbiladelphia. The suggestion that the drill should take place on Van Ness avenue was not accepted, as the space for spectators there would not be ample. The exhibition sact: as the one proposed is rcmarkably attrac- tive, but space is required for the evolu- tions apart from the ground occupied by those who as-emble to see the darill. It has been decided, therefore, with the con- sent of the Park Commissioners, to hav: the drill in_ Golden Gate Park near the music stand. The band of the Philadel- phia will furnish the music. , The advantage to the naval reserve men of participating in the drill with the ma- rines, who are so familiar with the move- ments, is deemed highly desirable. The exhibition itself is sure to be interesting. The drill is to bexin at 3 2.

MARY SHOT TO KILL Jack Duffy’s Life Due to the Poor Aim of a Jilted Sweetheart. ol JEALOUSY WAS THE CAUSE. Mrs. Mary McCarthy Attemp's to Kill Her Lover for Marrying Another Woman. Diamond street, near Twenty-fifth, was the scene of an exciting shooting scrape yesterday afternoon, in which Mrs. Mary McCarthy, who lives at 29 Carolina street, made a strenucus endeavor to take the life of Jack Duify, employed as a driver at Gray Brothers stone’ quarry on Clipper and Douglass stieets. It seems to be the same old story of “pell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”” Duffy, it appears, has been going with the woman clandestinely for some time and their relations have been what might be called familiar. One week ago Duffy mar- ried the lady of his choice, Miss Lounisa Barrett, aged 25, living ut 609 Minna street, and then came the troubie. The scene 18 described by eye-witnesses as follows: About 1 o’clock yesterday the widow and a girl companion, who refused to :ive her name, strolled down Diamond street. They were both young, the age of the would-be cvenger being about 32 years, It was afterward learned that their destina- tion was Gray Brothers’ stone quarry. * But, as luck would have it, they met Duffy driving a four-horse team and *3a- mie’’ at once called to him. He left his team standing in the street and approached the two women where they stood on the sidewalk. Hot and angry words were at once passed. The woman seerned to be reproach- ing him for his action in deserting her for another woman. Duffy seemed to be en- deavoring to make some explanation of his conduct. At Jast he lost patience and made some remark in a severe tone, when the infuri- ated woman gave an exclamation of rage, and, drawing a revolver, fired at Duffy pointblank. Considering their proximity it seems a miracle that she inflicted only a super- ficial neck wound, but she did. At first he staggered, but it was manifest that this was due to the shock. Just at this juncture the foreman of the quarry, passing in a buggy, jumped from his seat and snatched the revolver from the hand of the irate woman. The team Duffy had left standing in the street took fright at the shot and went tearing down toward Castro street, where it was stopped without any injury to itself or others. Evidently fearing that his horse would imitate Duffy’s team the foreman jumped into his buggy and started for the stone quarry, where he acquainted the men engaged of the condition of affairs. In the meantime Mary had seized Duffy with a steel-like grip and was hysterically moaning forth the story of her wrongs and reproaching him for his infidelity to her. ® “It was only the night before you mar- ried this woman,” she shrieked, ‘‘that you were with me and making protestations of love and endearments, and then the very next day you went @nd married her. “My God! what am I going to do?" she sobbed. “My friendsand even my parents are estranged from me on account of my relations with you, and here you have gone and forsaken me, t00.” By this time a large crowd had gathered, attracted by the unusual spectacle, and the man, evidently wishing to avoid the otoriety of the affair, desperately endeay- ored to make the woman loosen her hold of him. Perhaps he would have succeeded in spite of the deathlike grip she had taken but for his seeming desire not to in- jure her, and though she was several times thrown to her knees she continued to cling to the object of her vengeance, tearfully crying that she must either hive money to nelp her out of her troubles or ‘she would have his life. About this time the quarry foreman returned, and, driving near the curbstone, spoke to her. She turned her .head to listen and Duffy adroitly seized the oppor- tunity to break loose. Once free, he ran fleetly down Clipper street, where he se- creted himself. Mary and her companion then started for Gray Brothers’ quarry, where they were informed that if they made any {further trouble the police would be noti- fied. Mary's companion persuaded her to go back to Diamond street. Two ladies got hold of the now hysteri- cal woman and, with the assistance of her companion, managed to persuade her to board a Castro-street car and come to town. Mrs. McCarthy came into the City and went to the office of Gray Bros., on Montgomery street, where she inquired for Duffy, thinking that he had gone there. They had been notified of the shooting scrape and told her to wait for a few minutes, but she was too impatient and went out toward Sansome street. Policeman McGrayan was at once noti- fied and arrested her. She was charged with assault with intent to commit mur- der. ‘When seen in the prison Mrs. McCarthy did not deny firing at Duffy, and said she was sorry he was not now in the Morgue. In appearance she is very unattractive looking. It was learned later that prior to mak- ing the assault she had called at the house of the Barretts on Minna street and heard the tale that Duffy had married the girl and had roundly berated the whole family. Duffy and two friends called at the prison last night. He said he would like to get Mrs. McCarthy out on bail, but did not want to see her. He then went away to search for a Judge. THE TRAD:s UNIONS. Several Bodles Will Have to Seek New Quarters Very Soon. The recently organized paper-hangers’ union seems destined to be a prosperous organization. There are now forty-eight members, and there is every prospect that before long it will have on its roll ail of the first-class journeymen in the City. It will soon receive iis charter from the Painters’ and Decorators’ Union, of which it is an offshoot. At the last meeting L. F. Danforth, J. A. Auliffe and L. A. Tay- lor were elected as delegates to the Build- ing Trades Council. The next meeting of the Painters’ Union will be he!d on Weduesday evening in- stead of Monday. The change in the even- ings for meeting will be permanent. This union recently issued a charter to the Sac- ramento Painters’ Union. This union is in a prosperous condition since it was formed, four weeks ago, by Organizer Coffin. There are seventy-five names on its roll. The Oakland Painters’ Union is soon to be provided with a charter by the San Francisco body, which is now the parent of four unions. The Labor Bureau Association will be obliged to move soon from 115 Turk street, where it has been located for two years, a new lessee having taken possession of the premises. Itis not known where the new headguarters will be located. This change will compel alarge number of labor unions, now meeting in the small hall, to seek new quarters. Among those | that will have to move are the Hotel Em- | ployes’, Lathers’, Carpenters’ District | Council, Building Trades Council, Shing- lers’, Paper-hangers!, Glaziers’ Union and others. ———— e — The Empress of China hasa great pas- sion for jewels.
