BURGLARS AR:A BUsY. The Residence of Mrs. P. Marks, Golden Gate Avenue, Visited. The residence of Mrs. P. Marks, 717 Golden Gate avenue, was entered by burg- jars on Friday night between 8 and 9 o’clock during the temporary absence of the family. Entrance was effected by forcing open a window in the rear. A hurried search had been made of the bedrooms for plunder, and a silver watch and several gold rings were carried away. The burglary was reported to Policéeman Dugan as scon as it was discovered on the return of the family, but no trace of the burglars has been secured. they are the same two men who robbea the house of Martin Schneider, 330 Hayes street, a week ago last night. e SO g o Connolsseurs in California. The Paris Figaro a short time ago com- plimented Californians on their discrimi- nation of taste and their preference for fine wines, and referred to the large impor- tations of Pommery Sec into OCalifornia. According to recent importations Messrs. William Wolff & Co., the agents for Pommery Sec, are again heading the list, as in previous years, by a large majority. This is so much more surprising as it is an accepted fact that Pommery Sec, owing to its hi-her price, has its largest custom principally among the select and aristo- cratic classes of Europe, and that the management by no means seeks to make a record for quantity of output regardless of quality—a system so frequently applied by champagne shippers. After many years of conscientious labor the firm o? 'om- mery therefore enjoys to-day the reward of recoznition on the part of the refined and real fastidious classes all over the globe.—Pacific Wine and Spirit Review. ———————— The Suit Was Dismissed. : The suit brought by the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society agsinst D.

IS A VERY FAST SAILER. Very Clever Feat in Towboating Done by Captain Thompson of the Monarch IN DOCKING THE “OLD GLORY. News From the Sealing Fleet Shows a Poor Catch on the Japanese | Coast | The loftiest and fastest vessel in port to- day is the British ship Cromdale. Sheis as pretty as a yacht and Captain E. H. Andrew keeps her looking like one. She is loaded with redwood lumber for Eng- land and will sail in a few days. Captain Andrew has been on the Crom- dale for five years and during that time | she has made some splendid runs. Last | first out of sixty vessels to reach England { from Australia. The ship Brilliant made | the trip in the same number of days, but | the Cromdale had an hour the best of the race. The Cromdale’s record is 323 knots in twenty-four hours, steamboat time. This time was made when the ship was running down the eastings from Sydoey, | N. 8. W., to the Horn. 1 | The Cromdale came here from Australia. | | While in Sydney the captain’s wife was | taken sick and remained behind. She| came over on the last trip of the Monowai | | and will make the trip to England with | | her husband. Captain Andrew was almost | | a stranger when he came to San Francisco, | but during bis stay here he has made hosts | of friends. One of his boats was the first to reach the scene of the disaster when the | Blairmore capsized. Two of the crew of | the ill-fated ship were rescued by his men | and were cared for on the Cromdale until | | other arrangements were made. | | _ The first news from the sealing fleet in | | Japanese waters arrived in a private letter | | from Captain Fred Nelson of the schooner | | Rattler yesterday. He says that the | | weatner is very calm, seals scarce and that | the season on the Japanese coast will be a | | very poor one. The Rattler had taken 690 | kipper | ’ ns up to May 15 last and the s! | considers himself verv lucky. Lastseason | | the Rattler lost a boatand three men from | the attack of a killer. The fish rammed a | hole through the boat and the captain’s | brother, a hunter and a boatsteerer were drowned. Wken Captain Nelson was fit- | ting out this season he refused to take any- | thing but lifeboats, and owing to that fact | three lives w-re saved. Last April a killer | attacked one of the beats and knocked a big hole in her, breakiny three of the ribs. | The lifeboat floated and the men clung | to it for five hours. Luckily a returning ! boat sighted them and they were rescued | more dead than alive. The boat was after- | ward recovered and repaired, and Captain Nelson is now determined to always carry | lifeboats when sealing. | The Philadelphia and Monadnock will | sail for Santa Cruz to-morrow. This will | be the lust occasion for some time to come | to inspect the warships, and to-day the |launch Amy will carry excursionists, | leaving from the Folsom-street steps. | | Half-hour trips will be made between the | hours of 2 and 5 P. M. | | One of the prettiest feats of towboating | ever seen on the bay was performed by | Captain Dan Thompson in the tug Mon- | arch of the red-stack line yesterday. Single-handed he brought the big Amer- | ican ship Glory of the Seas out of Oakland | Creek, towed her stern first across the bay, | and with an ebb tide and a strong breeze | against him put her into the narrowest | slip on the water front, without a hitch. Captains Silovich, Gilbert and Marshall of | | the black-stack line watched the operation with keen interest, and when the ship w: safely moored they all concurred when | Henry Peterson said: “The prettiest job | ever done on the front.” When con- | | gratulated Captain Thompson blushed ike a schoolgirl and said: *Oh, go and | josh some one else.” He is a most unas- | suming man, but easily ranks among the very best towboatmen on the Pacific Coast. | On the run down from Vallejo yesterday the steamer Sunol broke 2 small crank- | pin. As soon as Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co. heard of the mishap, with their nsual promptitude, they at once sent the tug| Sea Queen to bring her to this City, Re- | pairs were rushed and the steamer was only three hours Jate in getting away on | the return trip. The passengers did not | suffer by the delay. as the owners, with | their well-known liberality, saw that they were well taken care of. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamer Orizaba leit Guaymas on the 12th inst. and may be expected here on the 21st. The AL-Ki left Victoria for Alaska, and the Arcata sailed for Empire City ves- terday. The latter will be due here to- mMOrrow. The Columbia left Astoria on the 12th inst. at 4 P. M. and arrived here yester- day, thus beating her own record of thirty-seven hours, which she made be- fore her machinery was overhauled. George Scarbrook, coxswain of the Philadelphia’s launch, performed a very daring and clever feat yesterday. The boat's propeller got foul of a rope while lying at the Folsom-strest siip. It could not be removed, and the launch was use- less. In the quandary Scarbrook threw off his outer clothes, put a_ knife between his teeth and dived overboard. He was down two minutes, and when he came up the propeller was free. He had cut the rope away with his knife. George seems to be able to compete with the South Sea | Island divers ST. GEORGE'S CLUB. The Officers for the Following Year Are Elected.

Three Children of Abe Kirshner, Peddler, Suffer From the Effects of Eating It. | Three children of Abe Kirshner, a ped- dler living at 431)¢ Tehama street, were taken to the Receiving Hospital in the ambulance yesterday afternoon suffering from the effects of eating too much “schmierkase,”” a curd cheese. Mrs. Kirshner went to a store on Sixth sireet, between Clementina and Tehama, yesterday morning and bought 5 cents’ worth of the cheese, She and her husband | and their three children—Abe, 5 years of | age, Samuel, 3 and Isadore, 1—partock | heartily of it. In a few.hours the children | became deathly sick and retched and | vomited. Her busband was away peddling and she became alarmed. She ran to a drug-ist and he advised her to send the hildren to the hospital, so the ambulance was summoned. Drs. Fitzgibbon and Helms used the| necessary antidotes and the children were | soon able to be sent home. The youngest suffered more than the other two. Dr. Fitzgibbon examined theschmierkase and found that it was rancid, but not poisoned, as was at first suspected. Neither of the parents suffered from eating the cheese. ———————— “ MAD-DOG TYPE” OF MAN. Judge Belcher Sent Charles Scopesi to Folsom for Fourteen Years. Judge Belcher yesterday sentenced Charles Scopesi to fourteen years in Fol- som. In doing so he took occasion tc state that Scopesi is of the ‘““mad-dog type” of man, and one who should be put where he could do no harm. In consequence he | gave him theylimit. % Scopesi tried to murder his wife in Feb- ruary last, and has since declared that as soon as he is out of jail he will finish the job. On his firstattempt theaccused went home with a determination to kill his spouse. He shot at her several times, but failed in his purpose, and then beat her over the head with the pistol until he broke it. He pleaded 1insanity, but his | subsequent threats convinced Judge | Belcher that he should be severely dealt with. HAS AGREED TO SETTLE. Action Taken by the North American Navigation Company. Its Debt to the Panama Railroad to Be Liquidated on a 70 Per Cent Basis. At the meeting of the shareholders of the North American Navigation Com- pany, held yesterday at the rooms of the Board of Trade, it was decided to settle the claim of the Panama Railroad Com- pany against that corporation. ‘When the debtor company went out of business two years ago it owed the Pan- | ama company $35,350. The latter did not press its claim, and nothing was done toward liquidating it. As the debt would become outlawed after running two years, a special agent, in the absence of E. H. Hiuton at Panama, was sent here from New York to close up the account. A proposition was made to the Naviga- tion Company to accept 75 per cent of the amount in full settiement if paid by June 1. A committee was appointed by the debtors, and pending its report the time of pavment was extended to Jjune 15, and again'to June 20. This committee reported at vesterday's meeting to the effect that the debt wasa just one and ought to be paid and practi- | cally recommended that it be paid, but suggested 70 per cent of the original amount as a basis of settlement instead of 75. The report was adopted. Itis likely that this will prove accept- able to Mr. Drake, the special representa- tive of the Panama Railroad Company. There are 2030 shares of the Navigation out, and as 70 per cent of the $35,350 amounts. to $24,745, it will mean ar. assess- ment of $12 14 per share. Few if nur of the shareholders, it is believed, will decline to recognize and meet their liabilities in the matter, but should they do so, suit is certain to follow, as much as & measure of justice to those who do pay up as for any other reason. AMERICAN EAGLE'S DAY TO SHRIEK, Active Measures Taken Fit- tingly to Celebrate the Fourth. FOR SCHOOLS. FLOATS Two Cash Prizes to Be Awarded for the Most Original Designs. MEETING TO RAISE FUNDS Monadnock and Philade'phia Will Be Absent at the Monterey Celebration. The anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is going to be celebrated on a grand scale. There is not the least doubt of that. Committees are making resolutions, school children are getting their floats in order, and everybody gener- ally is waiting to take a hand. There was a meeting of t! e principals or representatives of the different public schools in the office of Grand Marshal Henry P. Umbsen in the Mills building yesterday afternoon. Mrs. N. J. Vidaver is at the head of the school movement and has suggested many new and criginal ideas. For instance, they have decided to have a series of floats representing the progress of the country since colonial days. The school showing the most original float will receive an elegant banner. The grammar schools are much inter- ested in the contest, as in addition the committee have set apart $50 for a first prize flag and $25 1or a second. The most original floats will receive the prizes. Av yesterday's meeting there were resent representatives from the Lowell igh School, the Lincoln Grammar School, the Rincon Grammar School, the South Cosmopolitan School, the Broad- way Grammar School and the Lick Sehool. The South Cosmopolitan School had seven delegates. ; In one thing the prime movers are dis- appointed. Th- parade will have to get along without the sailors and marines of the Monadnock and the Philadelphia, A communication from Admiral Beardslee to Secretary Smith yesterday morning, stated that he had accepted an invitation to be present at Monterey on the Fourth, and necessarily could not participate in the | celebration in San Francisco. Still, the committee bas no intention of being without a naval display. The com- mnnger of the Mexican man-of-war Zara- goza has been invited to take urn in the parade, and an effort will aiso be made to | get marines from Mare Island. | ” The parade committee has also decided to invite bids for floats from costumers. Grand Marshal Umbsen has been author- lized to select a Goddess of Liberty. | Ladies desiring that position are requested to make application at the headquarters in the Mills building, fifth floor, room 2, any evening after 7:30. A aecision will be reached Monday as to | whether the committee shall fit out tie | Continentai Army. The probability is that such wiil be done. A committee of five boys from the Ever- | ett Grammar School called on Secretary | Eustice of the parade committeeyesteraay to get information in regard to the contest ! for prizes for the most original float. They were informed that the expenses of the particular floats would devo!ve upon the schools, and that they would bave to fur- nish their own designs. The boys went away satisfied that it would notbe a hard matter to comply with the requirements. Captain_George Filmer of Conpany B, First Regiment N. G. C., has sai¢ that the notion that his company and Cempany L will participate exclusively in tie Frait- vale celebration exercises is a mistake.

Next Monday evening the executive com- work done thus far. At this meeting some new plans for the raising of funds will doubtless be sug- zested. One proposition is that subscrip- tion lists be opened at th- local newspaper offices or other suitable places for the benefit of persous who are wiiling to make contributions, but prefer doing so volun- turily, instead of subscribing at the request of agents, who are paid a commission for making collections. The following circular, issued by the | | decoration committee, speaks for itself: SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., June 13, 1891 To the merchants and business men of San Fi “TLEMEN: The committee on -decor- | ations of tue Fourth of July eslebration, 1896, have unaer consideration several plans in con- nection with the patriotic displays to be made on that occasion, and it is_their desire to ad- vance the iuterests of the City generaily, with which your individual interesis are so inti- mately blended. At the last meeting of the committee the | chairman was instructed to issue a circular ad- dress inviting you to attend a meeting to be held in the assembly rooms, Mills building, on | Tuesday evening, June 16, at7:30 o’clock, to | discuss the plans referred to. One plnn‘propowes an artistic patriotic illu- mination of the central partof the City, to be ready and in operation on the evening of July 2and to continue through the night of July 4. This being extensively advertised immedi- ately will, it is believed, not only enhance the patriotic zeal of our own citizens but will at- tract from all parts of the State to this City during the three days of the illumination large crowds of patriotic displ It is herdly necessary to suggest that this large influx of visitors will resuit in pecuniary advantages toour business men very largely in excess of the outlay in- curred. It has also been decided that in lieu of the old plan of having set pleces of fireworks in re- mote and comparatively inaccessible parts of | the City the executive committee be requested | to provide forssetting off bombs, rockets and illuminating fires on the public squares and suitable f;lm:es contiguous to the central, busy part of the City during the llumination.

HE FELL INTO THE BAY. Too Much Suction Almost Com-| pleted the Wreck of the Sunken Ship. BIG VACUUM WAS CREATED. i | The Air-Pumps Oniy Worked at Half Speed and Were the Cause of All the Trouble. The raising of the Blairmore nearly ended in a disaster yesterday. In the first place the decks nearly gave way under the pressure of the suction pumps and Cap- tain Whitelaw nearly lost nis life. Cap- tain Burns considered both accidents as birds of ill-omen and at once stopped all work on the sunken ship. At 10 A. . the f the only sign of activity about the wreck the exhaust steam from the air-pump on tl.e Whitelaw. “If there is no more | hitches,”” says Captain Burns, “the Blair- more will be up to-morrow (this) morn- ing.” ‘When work ceased on the Blairmore last Kriday morning the stern of the sunken | | ship had peen raised at least a foot and | everything pointed to a success. Captain | | Burns does not want the stern up first, | however, as the bow points inshore and as the Whitelaw is moored to the ship’s bow it would be impossible to move her. All efforts are therefore being made in the direction of getting the vessel up bow first. Inorder to do this one hundred tons of | sand, in sacks, was piled on the stern of the ship and when the final attempt is| made this morning it is expected that the anchored stern will remain under water and that the bow will come up. In tuat event the tug Monarch will be on hand and the race for shallow water will begin. All ot Friday afternoon the crew of the wrecker was engaged in getting the anchor of the Blairmore aboard. They coiled the chain on the forecastle of the Whitelaw and the anchor is now in position to dro at any mor:ent should the vessel breaE adrift from her moorings. When work began yesterday morning Captain Whitelaw went out to the wreck to see that the centrifugal and suction pumps were in good working order. He climbed the superstructure raised on the | hull and, missing bis footing, fell heavily. | He was partly stunned and, being unable to u:aist&;imself. rolled iuto the bay. One of the divers was near at hand and he at once went to the assistance of his chief and pulled him back onto the side of the ship. After a rub-down and a change of | | clothes Captain Whitelaw was as well as | ever and went to work again. It was not long before everything was in perfect working order, and when the tide | suited the pumps were all set a-going. | The big plunger poured out tons of water {-end_the 12-inch cemril;:%al did its share. As the water was disple: Sroat vaCUUN was created, which the air-pump was sup- posed to fllL | The latter was only working at haif speed owing to some mistake, however, and in censequence for every pound of water taken out th-re was not an ounce of air pumped in. A creaking of the wood- | work gave the warning, and Captain Burns | at once ordered the water-pumps stopped. ‘Then he took a boat and made a beeline | | for the Whitelaw. What he said to the | engineers remains to be told, but an hour later the airpump was still going full | speed, and one thing is certain—it will be | | in good working order this mornine. 1 The removal of the water in the hold | created an enormous suction, and as there | | was no air to fill the vacuum the wonder | is that the vessel's Gecks, or at least her | { hatches, did not yield to the pressure. Should that have happened the Blairmore would have been a total loss, and all the money so far expended on the raising of her would have been wasted. “Everythmg was in perfect working or- | der,” said Captain Burns, ‘“but owing to | this unfortunate blunder our day’s work is wasted. We went to work at 4 o’clock in the morning to weight down the ves- sel’s stern, so as to bring up her stem, and just when everything was working atits st the hitch came. Never mind,” said he, recovering his good humor, *‘we’ll just try it again.” Placed in a Common House. Louis Mayer, a cook, was booked at the Cali- {fornia-street Station yesterday on a complaint and warrant sworn out by his wife in Police Court 1. The yife alleges that she had been married but six months when her hus- band placed her in & house of ill-fame. She finally made her escave from the place, return- ing to her home, 533 Broadway. Mayer followed her, making threats against her life. Then it was she determined to have him ar- rested. Mayer's bail was fixed at $3000. Goods at half and less were.
