THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, 1896. UNE 11, 5 CROWLEY HIDING NEAR SAN MIGUEL, Searchers for Dunham Find The Trail of Another Outlaw. PURSUIT OF TWO MEN. Efforts Are Now Being Made to Capture the Alameda Escape. SEEN AT SEVERAL POINTS. Officers Fear That They Have Been Tracking the Wrong Man From the First. SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, June 10.—A search in this vicinity for Murderer Dun- ham, the destroyer of the McGlincy fam- ily at Campbells, has resolved itself into a pursuit of the escaped Outlaw Crowley. It was Crowley, and not Dunham, who stopped & woman on a road near San Miguel yesterday and begged for food, and later dined at the home of a rancher. When Sheriff Ballou was apprised of the presence of a stranger in the hills near San Miguel he gave the matter consider- able thought in a short space of time, and concluded that the description of the man met on the road near San Miguel might fit some one else other than Dunham. He took a photograph of Dunham and one of Philip Crowley and started for San Mi- guel. He at once visited the woman who bad been halted by the stranger and siowed to her the two photographs. She recognized Crowley’s photograph as that of the man who had begged for something to cat from her. She positively identified cture of Crowley. puts more excitement into the of Dunham, for Crowley, who is anted, and who is known to be a very desperate man, is now sharing the at- | tention of the pursu It is supposed that Crowley, after having a brush with Sheriff Borgwardt and posse near the a Caliente ranch a short time ago, me northward toward San Miguel, and probably heading for , better known as *“Cruik- Officers Kelshaw and rs of P Robles started out to arch for Crowley last night.

THE AUSTRALIA TESTED She and the Bark Santiago Both Suffered Severely in a Storm. A Veteran Servant Dismissed by the Oregon Railway and Naviga- tion Company. which got in from Honolulu yester- y, had a very rough experience during ast night of her run. It began to blow about 11 p. M. iast Tuesday, and by mid- htit was blowing a gale. The waves broke continuously over the vessel and > burst 1n the forward skylight. Water poured into the staterooms and the din- | ing-room and steerage were flooded. Cap- tain Houdlette and Chief Officer Lawless were drenched again and again by the spray, and everybody aboard had an un- comfortable night. The storm was all the more a surprise, as the entire trip up to that time had -been a most delightful one. The cabin passengers were: D Emmeran, Mrs, H. Fc M. Giffard, A. Gartenberg, Mrs. A. Horner and two children, J. J. Horper, Mrs. H . Miss Huff- | an, C. Webb Howard and valet, O. Isenberg, wife and five children, P. C. Jones, wife and drughter, Madison Jones and valet, Mrs. Ki. bourne, Mrs. A. L. Lowrey, Miss N. M. Lowrey, Lewis. Mr. and Mrs. Megg, D. K J. Minér, B. T. McCullough, J. W. veumann Jr., Mrs. Ralston, W, G. Smith, L. Swan, C. W. Shryock, O. G. Traphagen, M K. Vida, Mrs. J. R. Wilson, 3i{ss Winter, Mis B. Weight, A. Young, Mrs. Young, Misses Young (2). The steamer Kahului, which left here some months ago, has not been in very good luck in the Southern seas. She went to Clipperton Island fer guano, but se- cured only 200 tons. On the way back one of the saiors stole a watch and as- saulted the first officer. He was placed in irons and turned over to the authorities at Honolulu. The Kahului will load suzar for San Francisco. Thomas Bailey, the oldest foreman stevedore, on the watersiront, was_dis- missed by the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company. The reason stated was retrenchment. ~ For nine years Bailey served on the Holliday line and for the last twenty vears he was practically in the ¢mploy of Goodall, Perkins & Co. All kinds of rumors about the steamer Zealandia have been floating around the front for weeks. The latest was that she was to go to Santa Cruz during the July festivities. When coal was put into her bunkers yesterday this idea was strength- ened. KEverybody is wrong, however, and the Zealandia is going to Martinez to lie up. The coal put in her was what the Pacific Mail Company owed the ship. There was so much coal in her bunkers when she was turned over to them and just 150 tons less when they returned her. They repaid the coal yesterday, and the steamer will be towed to her anchorage to-morrow. The steamer Peru sailed for Japan and China ye-terday. She bad an unusuall heavy cargo, but very few passengers. w. ]'.‘:eydecker, the well-known pigeon- the Los | he Oceanic Steamship Company’s Aus- | steamer. Itisto be released at 7 o’clock this morning, or when the vessel has been fourteen hours at sea. Leydecker expects the bird to make the return trip in a few hours. The Hawaiian park Santiago, which arrived from Hilo yesterday, was also caught in Tuesday night's gale. When it ‘was at its height L. Brehm, a native of Denmark, aged 34, was washed overboard and drowned. It was impossible to lower a boat, owing to the heavy cross sea. The bark Orion, which is laid up at Sau- salito, was on fire yesterday morning. The watchman discovered a fire in the storeroom, and before it was put out dam- age of $250 was done. The cause of the fire is unknown. —————— PAINT AND OIL ON FIRE. A Dangerous Blaze Last Night in the Bancroft Building. At 9 o’clock last evening there was an ugly fire in the Bancroft building on Mar- ket street, and an alarm was sounded from box 48. It started on the fourth floor in Smith & Young’s paint, oil and glass de- partment, itis supposed from spontaneous combustion. The discovery was made by the studentsin R. Vander Naillen’s School of Engineering on the fifih floor. When the occupants noticed the smoke arising from the lower floor there wasa stampede to escape and the wife of the professor fainted during the excitement and had to be carried from the building. The damage to Smith & Young’s stock was $1000, fully covered by insurance. Ellinger’s fringe factory on the fifth floor suffered about $250 damage by the smoke. Three firemen attached to chemical en- ine No. 1 nearly lost their lives. Gabriel Woods, William Rice and William Mitch- ell were operating the chemical hose on the fifth floor. The dense smoke almost suffocated_the three before they were rescued. Woods was restored after being | removed to the Receiving Hospital. The other two regained | being taken out into the fresh air. building was not badly damaged. DANCER 1N THE GLOOW | It Lurks in the Impending Dark- ness Due to Lack of Funds. The | Taxpayers Are Indignant at the High Tax and No Service— Police Preparing. Two dollars and twenty-five cents per for street lights. It has been in every mouth for the past few days. No matter where one goes about town he hears it, and the more this anomaly in municipal financiering is dis- | cussed the greater is the indignation of thinking taxpayers and citizens generally. Two dollars and twenty-five cents taxes | and no money for lights. It is freely admitted by every man in town who has given the matter any thought that somebody in control of City affairs is to blame, or more likely several officials are responsible for;this alarm- g condition of affairs. When taxes were less than half what hey are this year San Francisco was not iven into vexatious and dangerous dark- ness, as she is now threatened. To recon- | cile the present with pastconditionsin the municipal manipulation of San Francisco, now that householders are waking to the fact and the real condition confronting them. H The order has gone forth from the Board | of Supervisors that the City shall be in darkness for more than two weeks. There was no more coin in sight for appropria- tions, not even for current and absolutely ?:ssemial and necessary expenses of the ity. | And now taxpavers are wondering how | they may pilot themselves over the dan- gerous sidewalks and crossings after sun- down. V ns of thefestive burglar glory- ing in his new sense of security, the murderous footpad at every other turn | and corner and erime 1ampant under cover | of the blackness of these dark nights have | arisen in many homes. The police say that it 1s their experience consciousness after | centum for taxes in the City of San Fran- | the Junta and the Buckleyites, and thisis cisco and no money in the treasury to pay | in face of this street-light affair, has puz- | uarded and there is | jled many a citizen. Indeed, it is only | DAGGETT 1S THE CONVENTION 1SSUE So the Chief Democratic Battle Is Over Frank Gould. MINT FORCES ARE BUSY. Gould’s Brother-in-Law Has Just Been Given a Fat Mint Job for Life. FOOTE'S BOOM IS RISING The End of the Week Will See White, Foote or Another Party Hero in the Race. 8o remarkable is the change that in two weeks has come over the prospect of the | Democratic State Convention which is billed at Sacramento for next Tuesday that John Daggett has become the chief convention issue instead of the National financial policy of the party and the wis- dom with which the affairs of this great Republic have been administered for four years. Will John Daggett get there? Answer this and you may tell in advance the story of the convention. “Will Gould be chairman?” is the same question. Answer it and tell thereby the probable future of the San Francisco Democracy, name the bosses who will run | Democratic State politics for two years, reveal the money plank in the platform that is to be reported to the convention and call a long roll of politicians, telling which ones will rise and which descend. The other prominent issue before the convention is the local contest between | bound up with and dependent on the joint issue of Daggett’s boss-ship and Gould's chairmanship. So it is about the chairmanship that the hustling, the bitter words and the inter- ested speculation mainly collects. It is to and away from Gould that delegates from the Brown Bear mine to the Salton | Sea are being pulled and hauled. The struggles of the Buckleyites and their friends have become more direct efforts to beat Gould than to pledge delegates to their own cause. Those whose hands are against John Daggett are turning their guns on Frank Gould. | The indications that Gould will be de- feated appeared stronger yesterday. Gould's prospects look strong, because he is the only candidate in the field so far, his opponents say, and they say that his boom won’t seem to stick up so high if Foote or White are put up against him. It is the almost universal judgment in | the party that either White or Foote will be given the chairmanship with a whoop if they will, even at the last moment ,con- sent to let their names go before the con- vention, W. W. Foote’s boom, being worked by his friends without his consent, grew in volume yesterday, but without revealing anything furt: er that was definite regard- ing the probability of his consenting to openly go into the field. His friends declare that he will be forced to take it, and there is no doubt of the re- sult in many minds if he goes into the race. Tremendous pressure is being brought to bear on him. He still declares that he is not a candidate, but it is under- stood among his friends that ne will likely succumb to the pressure if he fully makes up his mind tbat Gould’s chairmanship means the ascendancy of Daggett. This appears to them so plain a propositior that his answer is given in advance. The anti-Daggett forces want to unite on either Foote or White. A majority will go to either, according to which becomes easiest to get to the front in the interest of party harmony. Senator White is ex- pected to arrive in Los Angeles to-morrow night. Upon his 'arnvul the possibilities of his candidacy will be better known. A ress dispatch from Los Angeles, to be ?ound in another column, indicates that there are no definite ideas among the Los Angeles Democrats as to the possibilities of fiis candidacy. The Los Angeles dele- gation of thirty-nine would be solid for either White or Foote for chairman, be- yond any doubt. B That the strongest possible candidate will be run against Gould now appears to be an absolute certainty. The candidate may not appear until Saturday or Mon- day, but those opposed to Gould say that any sterling and popular Democrat having the confidence of the party and in line with the popular sentiments of the party would beat Gould in a walk. McNab and Daggett’s workers are de- claring that Gould’s election has been made absolutely sure. But they are reckoning on getting in the 161 Junta votes for the temporary organization. This part of the McNab-Daggett-Gould rogramme may possibly be carried out, Eut it is extremely improbable. From outside of the City 141 votes were claimed to be pledged to Gould. Six more would give Gould a majority of one with the solid Junta delegation, and these they ex- pect to easily secure. But the votes promised to Gould are those of politicians, largely, and tied to him by cold patronage forces, weak or strong. Heartiness, admiration, esteem, personal friendship and loyalty do not give soul to the Gould campaign, and his support lacks the swing and enthusiasm that would put fire and momentum into a boom for such men as Foote and White. This is part of the dphxlmmphy of those who precrict Gould’s defeat. Daggett and McNab are working with exciting but quiet industry. Daggett’s Mint lieutenants were hustling yesterday early and late, scouring the City for Junta delegates, searching for every possible proxy that might be laid hold of, and otherwise obeying orders. Ed Lanigan has become the active out- side boss ot the practical work among the “push.” Rainey must needs keep in the backzround, and since Lanigan formed his partnership with Rainey the Mint em- ployes have been told to take orders from Lanizan, whose doings are in turn super- intended by Daggett and Rainey. Daggett and McNab are trying to save Gould from the curse of being vaggett’s candidate and to shield him from exposi- tions of the political intimacy between them. Yesterday another of the many evidences of this political combination was rushed out by Gould’s opponents. It transpired that less than three weeks ago Daggett gave Gould one of the fattest patronage plums in the Mint. For a long time Harry T. Hastings, brother-in-law of Gould, has been & watchman at the Mint at $250 a day, being one of the appoint- ments given 10 Gould some time ago. On May 25 Hastings was promoted to the position of registrar of deposits in the Superintendent’s department at $2000 a year. Hastings will have the job for life, as the position goes into the classified service under Clevelana’s recent civil ser- vice order. Thomas E. Collins, who was removed, was & friend of Chief Clerk Barnett, who was recently discharged, and ge was given Hastings’ old job at $2 50 a ay. With some of the largest delegations in the State, including Los Angeles, a ma- i?rit_v of Alameda, Santa Clara, Solano, onterey and others solidly against Gould, with the knowledge or belief that Gould is expected to do his share for the Daggett combination by recognizing the Junta and appointing committees on or- der of business, platform and credentials and a State executive committee, in Dag- gett's interest, and with the flood of oppo- sition to this capture of the State ma- chine, the anti-Gould forces are betting good money that a high-grade chairman will rule that convention. “THE CALL” [Pacific Coast Jockey Club.

COSTLY JEWELS TAKEN. Mrs. Herman Nolt’s House on Twenty-First Street Is Ransacked. ROBBERS ARE WELL REPAID. They Enter Genteelly While Neighbors Look On, and Take Everything Portable. The fin de siecle burglar who enters residences in thickly settled neizhbor- hoods in broad daylight, thoroughiy and systematically loots the houses and suc- cessfully makes off with his well-selected booty, has again given evidence of his prowess. The dwelling of Mr.and Mrs. Herman Nolt, at 3520 Twenty-first street, is the scene of his latest operations, and in many respects this depredation is one of the most atrocious yet reported. Mrs. Nolt, who is an artist, started out yesterday afternoon, as is her custom each Wednesday, on a professional visit. As she passed the corner of Dolores and Twenty-first streets shé noticed a man watching intently in the direction of her residence, but she paid little attention to his appearance. A few moments later two men approached the residence and in- quired of two little boys who were playing near if that was where Mrs. Nolt lived. One of the lads pointed to the house and gave the information that she was not at home. He then ran into his mother’s house and informed Miss Gould, who has a room at Mrs. Nolt’s house, but was calling on her neighbor, of the men’s inquiry. Miss Gould looked out of the window and observed two men gazing at the house. They were respectably dressed and she paid little attention to them, so littie that she declares herself utterly un- able 1o describe them, save in most gen- eral terms. That is the only clew to the marauders. ‘When Mrs. Nolt returned about 5 o’clock the first thine that greeted her eyes was the writing-desk in the front room in a state of disorder. As she had been using it just before going out she saw at once that it had been tampered with. An ex- amination showed that it had been com- pletely ransacked and a number of valu- able articles of jewelry taken. Hurrying to her own room she found things in the greatest confusion imaginable. Bureau drawers had been pulledgut and emptied, the bed had been overtuified and nook and cranny gave evidence of having been searched. From here the most valuable articles were taken, including jeweiry ana articles of clothing. Miss Gould’s room was also given most thorough inspection. A fine watch and chain and a magnificent Ceylon ring, set with a cinnamon sapphire, were among her losses. She also lost alocket which was treasured asa parting gift from her mother, long since dead. In the dining-room the burglars had evidently brought their operations to a sudden end. From this room only three souvenir spoons were taken, though there was much valuable plate which nothing but an interruption could account for the burglars not taking. The missing articles most prized by Mrs. Nolt are a beautiful gold bracelet, set with turquoise, and a diamond pin belonging to her husband. The former wasa family heirloom besides being of considerable in- trinsic value. The pin she had given to her husband just before their marriage. Besides these she lost a plain gold brace- let, seven gold pins, a complete set of silver jewelry and the three silver souvenir spoons mentioned. Two new pairs of trousers, a vest and a revolver belonging to Mr. Nolt were taken. Nothing was destroyed about the house and neither windows nor doors were in- jured, showing that the thieves must have entered by means of a latchkey. They were evidently experts and knew their grounds. RACING SEASON CLOSED, A Great Crowd Attends the Last Day’s Sport at Ingle- side Track. THE TALENT WERE IN FORM. Thornhill Defeats Rey Del Bandidos in the Long-Distance Event—Stub- ®ornly Contested Finishes. The racing season was brought to a close at Ingleside track yesterday. Over 5000 people were in attendance and a perfect carnival of sport was witnessed. The grand stand was filled with ladies and the betting ring with an eager, expectant throng of speculators. The betting was of the fiercest order, the books being assailed with a hurricane of coin. Jobbery was not tolerated, contrary to the usual custom of v‘getaway day.” The judges were on the keenalert for anything that bordered on the unsavory and the result was a grand day of sport. Three favorites, three second choices anda one outsider winning purses speaks volumes for the quality of the racing. And as the long period of racing draws to an end a word in favor of the new rac- ing organization, the Pacific Coast Jockey Ciub, would nat, to use racetrack vernacu- lar, “be out of line.”’ The club has lived up to every promise made horsemen at the opening of its meeting. It has given rich purses without the impoverishing entrance fee. Its aim has been to furnish good, clean sport without showing partiality to none. The officials have heard tha woes of the humblest as well as the richest of the horsemen racing on its track, and all hafe been treated with equal courtesy. Launched on the top wave of success all wish the new association continued prosperity. < It was first thought that the day’s gleauqn was to be marred by a bad acci- ent in the hurdie race, bnt‘haprily the unfortunate riders escaped with injuries that will shelve them for only a short period. The race 1in particular was at one and three-eighths miles with five hurdles to clear. Silverado, with Owens up, was a 2 to 1 favorite, but ran.unplaced. Huntsman, vieing with Bellringerat 3 to 1 for second choice honors, won cleverly at the finish from Hanford, a long-priced outsider. At the first obstacle North and Bellringer took bad headers, but their respective riders, Maynard - and Murphy, luckily escaped with nothing more serious than broken collar-bones. The two and a quarter mile handicap ended in a very pretty contest, but the record remains unbroken. Rey Del Bandidos at 3 to 5 had the pull in the ring, but his stable companion, Thorn- hill, the second choice, outgained bhim in the stretch and in a drive was first by half a length in 4:0014. 2 In the mile handicap Olive disappointed her friends sadly. Startinga 4 to5 favor- ite she wound up third, weakly ridden by Piggott. In a hard drive Coady got the 8 to 1 shot Instigator home a nose beiore Articus, who was cut off at least three times and made a great run from last the fraction. The time, 1:42}¢, was a good performance. 2 The seven furlong bandicap resulted in | an equally good contest. Yankee Doodle was a heavily played even money favorite, but after at one stage of the game showing in front, was obliged to be content with third place. In a hard drive the 8 to5 second choice, Réinart, splendidly ridden by the “barrier champion,” Shields, gained the verdict by a head in 1:28. The Cambridge stable came in for an- other dose of bidding-up in the first race | on the card, a one mile and a sixteenti selling affair, with a field of seven starting. | Red Glen was a prohibitive choice at 2 to | 5 and won cleverly at the finish from Jack | Richelieu, a 15 to 1 shot. When put up to | be sold Tom Boyle, owner of Jack Riche- | lien, bid the winner up to $700 over his | entered selling price of $300. After a change of jockeys Lady Heloise, backed from 4 to 1 OF} the boards, captured the half-mile dash for two-year-olds, after | leading most of the way, in 50 seconds flat. The Plunger, backed down from 20 to 4 to | 1, was a good second. | The last event at six furlongs was a bit | of a snap for the El Primero stable’s Sum- | mer time, a 4 to 5favorite. Passing Road- | warmer and Peixotto entering the stretch | she passed the stand a handy winner over Heartsease. J FRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS., | Cairns, the steeplechase rider, is eligible | to ride on tracks not racing under the rules o fthe Western Turf Congress. | The stewards reinstated W. Carroll, ! owner of Paros, who was suspended for | an intent at crookedness in connection | with his ride on the mare Miss Gentry | some days ago. | Owner “Mike” Donovan’s fast filly De- cision, by imp. Wagner, dam Fleta, died at the Bay District track yesterday from a | complication of diseases. | The judges removed Hazlett from the mount on Wawona in the opening race, and put Piggott up in his stead. Theodds | took a tumblie and he finishea third. | Just before post time the judges reglaced | Espinosa on Lady Heloise with Shields. Before the shift the filly was a 4 to 1 chance, but when the field started for the mst her odds were nearly rubbed off the ards, one or two books laying 2 to 1. THE LABOR UNIONS. | Backsliders Among the Painters Likely to Cause Trouble—Shinglers Supported. From all indications there will be lively times in the Painters’ Union before long. It seems that there are a number of mem- bers of the organization who are not living up to union rules, and this has caused great dissatisfaction on the part of law- abiding members. This matter was brought up at the meet- ing last evening and it was decided to call the offenders to time. Not desiring to take snap judgment, it was decided to call a special meeting of the union for next Saturday evening to take action in the | premises. At a meeting of the Metal-workers’ Union the committee appointed to look after the City Hall roof matier made its report of the meeting with the Commis- sioners. The delegates to the Building Trades Council were instructed to support NEW TO-DAY. «CONDENSED MILK..
