A Bl ¥I:H :XHIBIT. A Large Display Will Be Made at the Home Industry Fair. One of the finest exhibits of game and food fish ever seen on this coast will be exhibited at the coming Home Products Exposition, which is to be held in the fall at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. L. R. Mead and S. H. Tacy of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, recently had a conversation with Deputy Fish Com- missioner Babcock upon the subject of making a fine piscatorial display, and Mr. Babcock at once called the matter to the attention of Commissioner Emeric. Yes- terday Mr. Tacy received the following from Mr. Emeric: In confirmation of the conversation had b; ou and L. R. Mead this day with Mr. Babcoc in regard to an aquarium exhibit of fresh- water fish at the Home Products Exposition, permit me to say that the Fish Commissioners will eollect, arrange and maintain in the nquaria belonging o the Mechanics';Institute a display of all the fresh-water food fish of the State, and erect and operate a small fish hatch- ery. * * * In tne proposed exhibit the board will undertake to show allof the trout, both native and acclimatized, including the Dolly Varden and the famous and beautiful golden trout of Mount Whitney, a trout un- | known to any other region of the world Also salmon, big and little mouthed black bass, peckerel, yellow perch, green sunfish, etc. An aquarium collection such as we have out- lined, with its batchery adjunct, should make an atiractive nucleus, around wnich could be grouped an interesting and instructive ex- hibit perfaining to our commercinl fisheries. The productions of the California fisheries are valued at upward of $3,000,000 per year, and it is certainly essential that this industry be appropriately represented. Mr. Tacy says that the Mechanics’ In- stitute people are well pleased with the proposition, and it is likely that the aquariz will be increased in number and capacity. In connection therewith there will be fish canning and packing and a number of men engaged in making fish- ing tackle for commercial and sporting purposes. R SR S The New Trademark.

The manu- ' me must be placed on the goods in v‘:?fi?fiél’ionr:wnh the trademark. These rules are subject to change by the board of directors. L TABLES TURNED ON VINING'S VASSALS, Conflict Over a Transfer Leads to a Small Riot. { THE PASSENGER BEATEN An Outrage Culminating in the Arrest of Conductor and Motorman. KEARNY STREET THE SCENE. Hundreds of People Encourage a Man Who Refused to Be Ej:cted From an Electric Car. Vining’s obnoxious transfer system, ably seconded by a couple of stalwart em- ployes of the Market-street Railway Com- | pany, the latter being slightly of a pugil- the car, and called to the policeman to ar- rest the conductor and motorman. This for a short time the officer refused to do, but finally, noting the angry dem- onstrations of the crowd, concluded that it was the only thing to do, and the ruffianly conductor was led away to jail. After some further delay the trolley wire was readjusted, and the car, in charge of the motorman, passed on. The unfortunate victim of Vining’s vil- lains, who still lay gasping from his in- juries in the street, was assisted to his feet and led away by the gentleman.who had interposed to save him from the con- ductor’s brutality. Mr. Lacey, an attorney, and Dr. Lord went with him to the California- street police station to enter a charge against the conductor, but that had already been done. Mr. Charies McCarthy, a plumber, who resides near Broadway and Jones street, assisted in placing the conductor under arrest and preferred a charge of assault and battery against him. Officer Ingzels stated, when asked why he did not arrest the conductor when called upon, that he did not see the man do any- thing but pull the man off the car; that he saw no blows struck. Other persons who witnessed the whole affair insist, however, that Henry beat the man with his fists after he had pulled him from the car and as he lay in the street. Many also insist that the motorman struck him with his iron crank. Mrs. Julia Key of 2220 Webster street was on the car immediately behind, and saw the best part of the trouble. She says that the motorman struck Mr. Behnke with hiscrank, and that the conductor beat him as he lay on the ground. Officer Ingels also states that it was as much as he could do to keep the crowd from tramping on the assaulted man as he lay in_the street. After somewhat recovering from the ! effects of the abuse to which he had been subjected Behnke swore out a warrant for the arrest of the motorman, Patrick Ma- honey. Mahoney was arrested late last evening and detained at the Seventeenth- HOISTING HER UP INCH BY INCH, Successful Attempt to Raise the Blairmore Made at Daybreak. IT ALL WORKED WELL. When Six Feet Had Been Gained Operations Ceased for the Day. PORT BULWARKS OUTOF WATER | Another Attempt to Get the Hull Into Shallow Water Will Be Made To-Day. After months of patient toil the efforts to raise the sunken British ship Blairmore are being crowned with success. Yesterday morning she was six feet nearer the perpen- leave the matter in the hands of Architect Shea, who is known to favor an artificial stone covering. Mr. Shea is now preparing plans and specifications for an artificial VETERAN FIREMEN MEET. They Hold a Memorable Session in Their Headquarters. A meeting of the Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association was held at its hall last evening. Several new members were elected. A handsomely framed portrait of the queen of the late Healdsburg fiesta, Miss Alice Haigh, was received as a pres- ent from herself by the firemen with great applause, and the queen was unanimously elected an honorary member of the asso- ciation. 0. H. Keys, one of the members, pre- sented the association with a handsomely engraved solid silver trumpet. Secretary Scollay read a budget of invitations from the surrounding towns t¢ parade with them on July 4, but on being put to a vote it was decided to roll the old engine with the San Francisco parade. C, SCHEURER SUICIDES. Popular Tailor Takes His Life W hile Despondent. Christian Scheurer, a tailor, committed suicide yesterday morning shortly after 11 o’clock by shooting himself in the head with a 38-caliber revolver. The shooting was done in a room in the rear of his store, at 147 Fourth street. Mr. Bcheurer was a Mason and a mem- ber of several German societies and be- longed to the Veterans of the National Guard. No cause whatever is assigned for the act except that he was accustomed to periodical spells of despondency. He pos- sessed a host of friends, all of whom pro- nounced him to be a congenial compan- ion, a good father and a faitbful friend. He had been a resident of this City for The A Test at Raising the Blairmore Yesterday Morning Proved a Thorough Success. Necessary the Vessel Could Have Been Put on an Even Reel. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] The Port Bulwarks Were Raised Six Feet and if The Work Will Be Completed To-Day. istic turn of ming, created quite a riot on Kearny street yesterday afternoon. The riot grew out of a conflict between a pas- senger and the gripman and conductor of the car upon which the former was riding. A large and angry crowd, angry at the in- dignilies the passenger was forced to suf- fer before their eyes, followed the car and added greatly to the excitement. Henry Behnke, a man short of stature but of solid mold, who resides &t 601 Do- lores street, rode down Market street shortly after 2 o’clock on a Castro-sireet car. He took a transfer from the conductor entitling him to & ride south on Third street. Instead of going south, however, he took car 1173, bound wnorth along Kearny street. ‘When the conductor approached he pro- duced his transfer, but was told by the pugilistic faretaker that it was worthless on that particular line. A second fare was demandea, but Behnke refused to pay it. Therefore Conductor Robert Henry ordered the car stopped, and attempted to | | corrigible newsboy. eject the hon-acquiescing passenger. Behnke grasped the iron stanchion, but was throttled bv the conductor while the motorman beat his hands and forced him to let go his hold. A number of vicious blows were administered by the conductor upon the man’s face and body and he was thrown prostrate on the pavement, and all of this transpired before the policeman, who made a tardy appearance, arrived on the scene of trouble. If he had any defi- nite idea of hisduty and any willingness whatever to perform it the conducor and motorman would have been promptly marched to the station-house and placed behind the bars. If the passenger assaulted had resented the treatment and blows that he received and killed one of them a hundred people could have truthfully testified that he was acting in self-defense and that the killing was justifiable. After throwing Behnke to the pavement the conductor and gripman released their hold and again started on their journev. Behnke arose quickl{ and boarded the rear end of the car as it passed kim. It was again stopped, and he was again dragged off by the two employes of the railway company. He was quickly assisted to his feet by the crowd, which by this time had gathered to the number of 700 or 800, and again took his place on the rear side step. The car could not start, as some one had pulled the trolley-wheel off the wire. In the meantime Officer Ingils put in an appearance, and, after a short conversation with the employes, caught the man by the arm and attempted to pull him from the carstep. Behnke held with all his strength to the stanchion.. The conductor then came to the man’s assistance and forced Behnke’s hands loose. The trolley was not in place and before the car could be started the man again got on amid the cheers of the crowd, who spared no breath in denounc- ing the policeman. A dozen men, mer- chants and others from the vicinity, entered a vigorous protest against the policeman’s action, with the result that he stood entirely inactive. It was then that the final and most outrageous part of the scene was enacted. The passenger stood on the steps clasping the stanchion with both hands. The two-hundredth motorman went to work on his hands, while the conductor climved on his back and grabbing him around the throat with botbghands. throt- tled and tarew hinf again flat on his back on the asphalt, and right at the feet of the silent and motionless representative of the law. Having him down, the conductor proceeded at once to vent his anger in the way of vicious blows in the face and over the body of the prostrate and exhausted man. A strong arm, bowever, soon seized him and compelled him to desist. It was not the policeman’s, however, but that of a bystander, whose sense of justice and humanity was too strong to permit further cruelty. He pulled the conductor off and held on to him a&s be attempted to climb back on olice- | street Police station on a charge of bat- tery. Subsequently both the conductor and his ally, the motorman, were released | on giving bail for their appearance in the sum of $500 in each case. B0IS UNAWED BY LA, They Continue to Traffic Transfers on the Public Streets. No Attempt Made to Inferfere With the Persistent Tormentors of Vining. Neither short-limit transfers nor the im” plied terrors of the new Dimond ordinance has served to suppress the apparently in- The new law was in full force yesterday. It makes it a misdemeanor to sell, give away or in any way traffic in transfers outsidz of street-cars. It was read to the police force before they went on duty, but in view of the fact that transfers were passed out to purchasers of newspapers as | freely as bpefore, and in some cases right under the nose and eyes of a policeman, the guardians of the peace had apparently forgotten all about its existence and the act which it made a misdemeanor. Early in the day the juvenile tormentors of Mr. Vining were exceedingly cautious in asking for and giving the transfers, but toward evening they plied the pro- scribed traffic pretty much as of yore. Inquiry among them elicited the infor- mation that their revenues had not suf- fered, and thatno attempt had been made to interfere with them either by police officers or by employes of the Market-street Company. It was also learned that inssz of ad- hering to the five-minute limit, transfers were punched so as to give passengers be- tween ten and fifteen minutes to make their connections. $99 75 to Washington, D. 0., and Retuin.

The Loyal Republican Club of the Fortieth District met last evening at Coakley’s Hall. Great enthusiasm was manifested, and a large number signed the roll. The meeting was a RTeat SUCCess. The officers elected to take charge of the coming campaign are: George R. Fletcher, resident; Joseph Laid, first vice-president; J.

The decks will then be above water and the hatches will be removed. Then will begin the gruesome task of searching tor the dead bodies that were entombed in the hold of the ship. Coffins | will be in readiness and the remains will | be at once sent to the Morgue. At 3:30 A. M. yesterday everybody on the wrecker Whitelaw and schooner Cata- lina were hard at work. On the wrecker the compressed air machine was got ready and on the schooner steam was got up in the donkey boiler. The tanks resting on the superstructure erected over the hull of the sunken ship were examined, and then Captain Burns, who represents Lloyds, and Captain Whitelaw of the wrecker made a personal inspection of everything to make sure that no hitch would occur. Precisely at 5 A. M. the work of filling the tanks began. It was quite a while, how- ever, before the weight of water hed any perceptible effect upon the sunken huil, | and both the captains began to get nerv- ! ous. Failure meant much to them, as | all their carefully laid plans would have | been for naught and a new start would | have had to be made. | *Tne first move of the ship was almost | | imperceptible, but nevertheless it was | there. At 5:30 A. M. Captain Burns ex- claimed exultantly: “She is coming!” and sure enough she was. Slowly, inch by inci, the tanks of water overcame the suction of the mud and ooze and by 6 A. M. the port bulwarks of the ship, including the port lighthouse and the port anchor were above water. It was not the inten- tion to get the vessel on an even keel yes- | terday, so work was stopped and several of the tanks were emptied. The others that are full will prevent the hull from sinking back into its original position. Early this morning everything will be in readiness for the final effort and Captains Burns and Whitelaw are confident of suc-| cess. Inshore near the Union Iron Works very heavy moorings have been laid, and from these to the Whitelaw a long steel cable has been laid. One end of the cable will be fixed to the Blairmore and the other .will pas: through the Whitelaw tug will stand by in readiness, and when the signal is given she will pull on the sunken ship. Thetanks will then be filled and wvhen the Blairmore has raised on to her bilge she will be rushed into shallow water. Then she will be put on an even keel without any trouble. In talking about the matter yesterday morning, Captain Burns said: “Our ex- periment has turned out to be a success, and I think we will now have no trouble in raising the Blairmore. The hull is air- tight, and when the compressed air is pumped into her I think she will come up. Had it not been for the fire-hose used around the hull by the divers, I don’t think we would ever have got the vessel up. The force of water sent down through the hose had cleared away over 250 tons of mud and slush and thus in a great meas- ure released the hull. Everything is now in perfect working order, and our next attempt will tell the tale.” The Roof Will Be Artificial Stone. The City Hall Commissioners, after hearing M. C. Hinkin and Martin Hughes of the Metal Roofers’ Association, who contended that the permanent roof of the hall should be con- structed of metal, and Jacob Stahle, who was as sure that a slate roof was the only one that faction, decided yesterday to hawsepipe and thence to the winch.

THE STRIKE IS STILL ON They Believe That Things Will Be Settled Before This Afternoon. HAVE A STRONG COMBINATION Three Undertaking Firms and the En. tire Riding Public Ride With Them. The hackmen’s strike is still on. The Pacific Carriage Company has aiready made certain concessions, but not enough to satisfy the men, who have insisted on their old schedule of wages. Since Monday evening at 5 o’clock when O. 8. Carvill an- nounced that the wages of the men had been reduced from $150 to $125 per day, the strike has been in full swing, but it has been a courteous swing withal—a strike thatis remarkable for the passive resolution on the part of the men and a determination not to give in until they accomplished what they believed they deserved. Tuesday night H. F. Suhr, reoresenting the three undertaking establishments, in- terviewed the proprietors of the Pacific Carriage Company. The exact words that were passed in that interview are not known, but within a few minutes after Mr. Suhr left the company’'s office the men were informed by Mr. Carvill that the original rate of wages would be paid. That is $1 50 per day. When this was an- nounced the boys sent up three cheers for the undertakers and the riding public in general. They believed at this time that | they had scored a complete victory. | Yesterday the fact leaked out that while the Pacific Carriage Company manage- ment had agreed to maintain the old wage | rate they did so with the intention of not | employing the three men who had taken | an active lead in the strike. These men | are William Shrewsbury, Charles E. Edsbere and George H. Aflen. | In the meantime several of the men, believing the strike off, had gone back to the company and agreed to drive hacks | during the day and last night. When the | news, however, reached the ears of the men regarding the condition of debarring }the three leaders, the strike was imme- | diately declared on again and all that had | originally struck determined to stand with | the three men and not go back until they | were reinstalled in their former positions. Yesterday afternoon the three undertak- ing firms—H. ¥. Subr & Co., H. C. Porter & Co. and McGinn Bros.—were interviewed by the strikers, and all signified their in- tention of remaining solid with them. This is the present situation: The Pa- cific Carriage Company on one side, the twenty strikers on the other backed by a strong petition signed by forty-one names of prominent citizens heretofore patrons of the company, and backed also by the undertaking establishments. The bone of contention is no longer the reduction of wages, but the debarment of three men. The petition reads as follows: To the Pacific Carriage Company: We, the under-igned, patrons of the Pacific Carriage vompany, do hereby agree to refrain from | patronizing said company’s coupes and car- riages, ulso from ringing-in the San Francisco District Telegraph Company’s boxes for the said company’s coupes and carriages, provided the contemplated reduction in wages takes place. Knowing it is impossible to secure re- liable drivers for less wages, having had deal- ings with said cnm(rnny for & number of years and always received courteous and satisfactory treatment from said company’s drivers we pre- sent this petition to show our appreciation for said services. Hoping this petition may be ?efimed satisfactory, we remain, yours respect- ully. ugreto are appended forty-one names. Mr. Carvill said yesterday: ‘‘Owing to the dullness of the times we were forced to either cut down the wages of the men or to discharge a few and send out a smaller number of carriages. Rather than have some of the men idle we chose the | former plan of cutting down all the men 25 cents per day. The earrings of each hack now are not sufficient to keep the hacks in repairand feed the horses, to say nothing of paying the men. There*are four men whom we will not reinstate on any condition whatever; we have had enough of themm. We wanted to favor the men and would have after the times picked up a little gone back to the original sched- ule of wages, This is no strike.. We have simply discharged a few men.” Charles E. Edsberg, as spokesman for the men, said: ‘‘Had the firm come to the men and offered them a square deal, say- ing that business was dufl and that it would be necessary for the men to take one day off a week, or to reduce the num- ber of coupes, there would have been no strike whatever, and the men would have gone along with their business, but we feel that we have been treated shabbily in the matter, because two years ago there NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

The hackmen are confident that they will be given a complete victory before this afternoon; in fact, they cannot see how their combination can be beaten. Niantic Parlor Election. Niantic Parlor No. 105, N. 8. G. W., elected officers Tuesday evening for the ensuing term as follows: Finley Cook, president: W. E. Carroll, F. F. Sarcander and Joseph C. Freese, vice-presidents; E.
