PLIED WHIP A THE WATER Mrs. A. P. McArthur Punished a Swimmeér Who Gave Offense. The Superintendent of the Baths Ex. plains That It All Arose From a Misunderstanding. Swish, swish, swish went a2 handsome but a stiff riding whip in the baths at Bush and Larkin streets last evening about 7 o’clock. It was wielded by fair hands sparkling with radiant rings, backed by a feminine face expressing indignation. By the side of the lady stood a gentles man with his hand on his pistcl pocket. The blows fell on the shoulders of George P. Goeize, a swimmer then in the baths. The whip was- vigorously plied by Mrs. A. P. McArthur, 8 handsome bride, who has rooms at the Beresford, at Stockton and Bush streets, with her husband, a young man, who felt capable of inflicting all kinds of punishment on the swimming instructor. The grievance of Mrs, McArthur was that she claims to have been insulted by Goetze in the baths yesterday afternoon. Her charge is that he was entirely too fa- mihar with her in words and in’his con- duct with her. B ‘When she went home she, of course, told her husband, and after an early dinner they procured a riding whip and a re- volver and together went to the baths to maete out punishment to the unsuspecting Mr. Goetze. It wasatan hour when very few people were in the baths, but the scene did not lack in its dramatic features for wantof spectators. The superintendent of the baths last night explained the episode us a misun- derstanding through and through. said Mr. Goetze is a German; that Mrs, McArthur made a sudden appeal to him for a safety-pin, and that he simply re- plied to her that he was not furnishing safety-pins for ladies. The superintend- ent says he feels certain, from a talk with Mr. Goetze after the occurrence, that he meant no offense. He says there were several other ladies in the bath with Mrs. McArthur and that they took no offense at the remark made by the swimmer. ARCATA’S DAIRY CONVENTION. Cream of Scientific Discussion Skimmed From a Milky Evening. ARCATA, Car., June 18.—The California Dairy Association, with the co-operation of the agricultural department of the State University, is holding its second meeting in Humboldt County. The meeting is being held at the earnest request of the citizens of Arcata and vicin- ity, who are very much interested in the subject of advanced dairying. The uni- versity is represented by Professors Wood- worth and Jaffe. The convention opened with an address of welcome by Thomas Devlin, to whom A. P. Martin of Petaluma replied. Music and recitations by local talent were inter- spersed between the scientific addresses. The scientific part of the programme consisted of an address on the com- position of California creamery butter by Professor Jaffe; Professor Wood- worth’s lecture on bacteria and John McConaghy’s remarks on the iceding of cows. The remarks of each speaker were followed by a general discussion of the subject by the andience. Later in the evening theory and science were laid aside and the delegates wit- nessed the highly interesting and charm- ing operetta entitled “The Dairy Maids’ Convention.”” This was artistically and cleverly presented by sixteeen voung ladies of Arcata, who convinced the audi- ence by the ease and grace with which they executed their respective parts that they are not at all times engaged in sximming milk. — SEEH NEAR LIS AGELES A Heavily Armed Stranger Who May Have Been Mur- derer Dunham. An Orange County Widow and a Flor- ence Rancher Tell Plausible Stories. LOS ANGELES, CaLn, June 18.—De- tectives and peace officers generally who were inclined to smile broadly at yester- day’s report about Dunham, which ema- nated from ex-United States Marshal Gard, are now beginning to hedge in the best manner possible. Judging from what appears to be a re- liable report, Murderer Dunham was seen yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Jane Moore, a widow, near the town of Fullerton, on the Santa Fe Railroad, near the edge of Orange County. Mrs. Moore desctibed the suspect as heavily armed. He asked for something to eat and was waited on by Mrs. Moore,who took a close survey of her guest. He was heavily armed and was in rotigh ¢lothes. The supposed murderer remarked during the meal that he was oa his way to San Diego. A while before Dunbam’s arrival three mounted officers who concealed their identity rode up and inquired of Mrs. Moore if she had seen an armed stranger traveling south. Sne had not, but thought the inquiry a | strange one, and when the armed stranger did appear the lady was greatly impressed with the coincidence, and immediately set about finding what it all meant. Shesoon learned that Dunham was supposed to be in this part of the State. and from a news- paper picture shown her by a neighbor | declared that her visitor must have been the original of the cut. Mrs. Moore knew as little of the officers as she did of her armed, hungry man, and it is not yet known who they are, butthey are believed to be officers from Santa Bar- bara or Ventura counties. These things, coupied with the Gard story of the stranger seen by the Florence rancher, give color to the probability of its truth. A report is current here this evening that Sheriff Nichols of Orange County is out with a posse on the trail of the murderer, with good prospects of bagging his game before morning. T b FARMER LOOKWOOD'S STORY. Scems Likely That He Was on the Trail of Dunham. SAN DIEGO, Carn, June 18.—Sandy Lockwood, who owns land and a number of gold claims on the desert, arrived at ‘Warner's ranch yesterday with the news that he had struck the trail of & man traveling on foot in Santa Rosa Canyon, twenty-five or thirty miles south of Wal- ters station, on the Southern Pacific on the desert. The trail led due south toward the Mexican line. From its loca- tion Lockwood believed the trail to be made by a man either lost, crazy or fleeing from justice. Knowing that Dunham, the San Jore murderer, was well acquainted with this country, which he visited two years sgo, and believing that he would head for Lower California if he escaped the posses in the neighborhood of his crime, Lock- wood decided to foilow the trail. He fol- lowed it all that day and until noon the next day, but found himself at that timne with only one drink in his canteen and no feed for his horse. He was compelled to abandon the trail then, and made for the “Coyotes” for a supply of water and feed. Lockwood said the man evidently car- ried something on his back, from the im- pression made by the shoesin the sand. The tracks were toward the peninsala, but out of the track usually taken by pros- rectou and others going to Lower Cali- ornia. On his_return to his camp at Borrego Springs Lockwood fonnd that the man had been there and taken some food and a gnckaga of smoking tobacco. He identi- ied the tracks as those of the man he bad been trailing southward. This action indicated to his mind that the man was well aware of what he bad been doing and intentionally kept out of the way ol(reopla traveling in those parts. Lockwood says that an Indian at the springs saw a man several miles from there whose tracks, when examined, answered those that Lackwood followed. A detailed description of the man will be obtained from the Indian. The sauthorities at Campo, on the boundary line, have been notified by ielephone of the actions of the mysterious siranger, and a party will go out from there to intercept kim if possible. prEr Interests the Coast.

ALLISON. WILL LIGHT TH GOLOEN GHTE A New Lightship to Be Built for the Harbor. BEACON UPON THE BAR She Will Be Moored About ' Seven Miles Off Point Lobos. FOG WHISTLES AND LAMPS, The Vessel Will Be Provided With Interesting Novelties and Bs Built Here. San Francisco is to have a seeond light- vessel as a beacon toall ships that come in from the sea through the Golden Gate. She will ride the waves in storm and calm Fort Douglas. The Fourth Regiment is to take its station at Fort Sheridan, an the Twentv-second is to relieve the Bix- teenth at Fort Douglas. The Second will take the place of the Fourth, while the Sixteenth will be the relief of the Tiwenty- second. Secretary Lamont directed these changes of stations before his aeparture this after- noon for New York. There 15 some little question about the order in which the changes will be made, however, and it is likely that some ot theni may be canceled, This is due to the fact that Secretary Lamont has directed that General Miles be consulted. General Miles is now in Boston, but was wired about the matter. MRS. McELRATH'S SWAIN. “l Love the Woman and She Loves Me,” Says Jackson in Court. CLEVELAND, Ouro, June 18.—-W. E. Jackson, who was arrested gt the instance of Mrs. Agnes McElrath, who elaimed that he had followed her from California, was arraigned in the Police Court to-day, and pleaded not guilty. “Ilove the woman and she loves me,” said Jackson. ‘‘My fatber would not con- sent to me paying her attention, and when I persisted he was angry and wrote her several letters asking her to leave Califor- nia and offering to pay her expenses. Shé bas the letters and will show them to you. She shows them in every city we have vis- ited. Will she prosecute me? Oh, Isup- pose 80. She will get me locked up and then get me liberated. Why do I follow her? I will tell you, She makes me., Is that an intelligent reply? Tke woman revels in variety. Shecan cry at a mo- ment’s warning, and her laugh comes as quickly. She is smart and can converse on any subject. She has a faculty of The New Type of Lightship Adopted by the United States Light Servics, Ome of Which Will Be Stationeéd on the Bar. [From a photograph.] alike, securely anchored, just beyond the bar, and within easy view of the Cliff House. 1n all probability this vessel will be built in the Potrero or Harbor View yards. Plans and specifications will come from Washington, and shipbuilders here will be given an opportunity to bid upon her con- struction. The cost, as allowed in the sundry civil appropriation bill, is $30,000. With that amount at its disposal the United States Lighthouse Board will be able to build a lightship of the latest and most approved pattern, and equip her fully throughout for her long vigils off the Golden Gate. The United States Lighthouse Board has adopted a type of light vessel which compares favorably, if not indeed excels the types of other nations, and this ship will be on the same lines with sorse small improvements added. She isto be a trim- built, powerful vessel, of quite graceful outlines, resembling & steam schooner. Unlike the old lightships, she wiil be provided with auxiliary engines and pro- pellers so that she can take care of herself should her moorings give way in a storm. Besides, she wiil have a schoouer rig with main and foresails. Her leugth will be 112 feet, breadth 281 feet, aepth of hold 13 feet. In constru®tion, she will be composite, her frame, keelplate, sheers- trake and bilge to be of steel, iike the deck framing, stringers and tie plates. The covering will be wood with a copper- covered bottom to prevent fouling. This peculiarity of construction furnishes the needed strength to withstand the longitu- dinal, transverse anc twisting movements, all of which must be bornebya ship moored as she will be in the open sea. By the introduetion of wood, the possibility of corrosion of steel plates is avoided, as well as frequent docking, and the con- sequent absence of the ship from her station. The propeller engine will be capable of driving her at a speed of nine miles an hour, and in the case of heavy seas or storms she will be thus enabled to face the wind and so relieve the strain on ber anchors. The anchor will weigh 5000 pounds. The fog signal will be a 12-inch wiistle of the chime class, giving out distinct and differ- ent notes, produced by either steam or compressed ain On ner two masts day signals of globular shape will be hoisted, and at nightclusters of electric lights strengthened by lens and powerful reflectors. The hull will be divided into a great variety of compart- ments, as every bit of space must be utilized. There will be ar after cabin, engine, boiler, oil and sail rooms, a large fresh water tank in the hold, a chain locker, fore hold, storerooms, crew space, étc., with lockers of many kinds ou the top deck; but there is to be no obstruction above tkis hurricane deck. The lightship will be moored outside the bar about seven miles from Point Bonita and the Cliff House, at the present location of the whistling buoy. Ships coming into the harbor after dark "pick up’’ this buoy and then steer straight ahead for the Fort Point light. This course is pursued until s point about mid- way between Point Bonita light and Point Lobos 15 reached, when a tack is taken toward the Lime Point light, which brings the mariner inside the harbor. The rest is easy sailing. Orders from the Lighthouse Depart- ment in Washington regarding the new ship may be expected at the local office almost any day now, since the appropria- ticn has been mad MILITARY TRANSFERS. Urders Will Shortly Be Issued Changing the Posts of Six Kegiments. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18.—Orders will be issued by the War Department to- morrow directing the transfer of six regi- ments of infantry, the regiments involved being the Fifteenth, Fourth, Second, Twenty-fourth, Sixteenth and Twenty- second. Under the slate arranged the Fifteenth is to go to Arizona to relieve the Twenty- fourth, which will probably relieve the Becond at Omahs, aithough it may go to arousing sympathy and makes friends on sight. Just watch her.” “That man is a villain,” said Mrs. Mc- Eirath. “He wiil yet kill me. He has said that he would, and I expect that he will carry out his threat. I cannot rid myself of him. He has dogged me for years and I have several times haa him arrested. This time Iexpect to get him in prison where he will remain for a long time."” Mrs. McElrath is loaded with letters which she says she has received from Jack- son and his relatives. She cares nothing for him, so she alleges, and only wants to get away from where he is. She gives no explanation of why she came to Cleveland, further than to get rid of Jackson. She has newspaper ¢lippin:s giving accounts of her exploits with the man now arrested, and saia that if anything is written in the Cleveland papers she would be pleased to have a marked copy sent to her. Mrs. McElrath expects to leave the city Suaday. MAHER DEFEATS SLAVIN, Quick Ending of the Fight at Madison Square Gar- dens. The Australian Practically Knocked Out Durimg the Fourth Round. NEW YORK, New Yomk, June 18.— Peter Maher practically knocked out Yrank Slavin after about ten seconds of the fourth round at Madison-square Gar den to-night. Slavin was badly punished in the third round, and was ail but out when the ref- eree sent the men to their cornersin the fourth. LLED HEI PURSUERS Bloody Trail of Tw-o Desperate New Mexican Rob- bers. Three Members of a Posse Shot to Death and the Qutlaws Make Their Escapa. LAS VEGAS, N. M., June 18.—The facts relative to a triple tragedy at Liberty were received here to-day. Tuesday, June 9, two men broke into a storehonse at the Bell Ranch and stole all the provisions they could carry. On the 11th inst. they entered Herzstein's general store, in which the postoffice is located, and stole clothing, provisions and money amounting to $250. M. Herzstein and Levi Herzstein, postmaster at Liberty, and a posse of men pursued the robbers and overtook them thirty miles southwest of Liberty. As soon as the robbers saw the posse they began shooting, instantly kiiling Levi Herzstein and Mer- jillo Gallegos and fatally wounding Placido Gurule. They also shot three of Herz stein’s horses, and rode as fast as their horses could carry them toward tne Staked Plains. It is supposed that the despera- does are two men who were employed on the Bell ranch. A Musical Ohioken-Thief.

CLAD I CLASSE CAP KD GO Fifty-Two Dental Gradu- ates Receive Their Sheepskins. DEGREES CONFERRED. Odd Fellows’ Hall Is Crowded With Friends of the Graduates. FIVE LADIES GIVEN DEGREES. Simple but Appropriate Exercises Conclude the Three Years’ Co'lege Work. The aisles and galleries of Udd Fellows’ Hall were packed last night by the friends of the Dental College graduates of the class of '86. T.ong before the opening march com- menced the exercises every available seat and even standing-room was at a pre- mium. The hall had been tastefully and appro- priately decorated. Festoons of blue and gold, the college colors, were gracefully hung about the sides of the gallery, from which also great streamers of the same colors were hung and gathered on a clus- ter above the center of the hall. Blue streamers, dotted with stars of gold, dropped gracefully from the center of the ceiling. The broad stage was also draped with blue and gold streamers and groups of American flags, Suspended on wires along the front of the stage were golden letters forminf the inscription, *Uni- versity of California, College of Den- tistry.”’ In addition, on the front of the stage were four pedestals draped with yel- low bunting, on which were the golden letters U’ and “C,” with shields of stars and stripes as background. As the last strains of the opening march died away the flity-two graduates filed in from the eastern entrance, all ciad in the flowing classic collegiate gowns and wear- ing tasseled mortar-boards.

As the members of the graduating class received their - diplomas from President Kellogg the{ were greeted with generous applause. The bestowal of degrees upon the five ladies of the class, Drs. Ayers, Band, Gilbert, MacDonald and Sawyer, called forth unusualiy generous plaudits. Many beautiful floral offerings aiso testi- fied to the popularity and esteem in which ;haladindlvidull members of the class were e The majotity of the class was composed of young Californians, native sons and daughters.

The Horse They Backed Was Always Sure to Win. “When 1 was in Colorado many years 8go,”” said a New Yorker who once lived in Denver, ‘‘there was apparently no pre- tense at fair play in horseracing. One slways knew which horse was going to win by the way the professional gamblers betted, The horse they bougit pools on always won. “Once at a race at Boulder the very judges left their stand to bet on a horse named Master John that had lost two heats. I had already bought a small pool on the horse and was feeling rather shaky, but their act reassured me. Master John won the next two heats with an ease that showed he had been pulled in the previous two. He stumbled, how- ever, in the fourth heat and cut one of his legs. When he came out for the fifth heat he could scarcely put the injured leg to the ground. It grew worse instead of bet~ ter as he limped around the course, but it was now the other horse’s turn to be pulled in and Master John won. He actually passed the line at the finish on three legs. "l’euéo who went often to the races, if at all observing, finally noticed that the horses which were backed by men they knew to be gamblers imvariably won, Those given to betting naturaily availed themselves of this knowledge and backed the same horses, As 1 confined my bet- ting to Y”l buying I didn’t know whose money I was taking, so [ salved my con- sciencein that way. “The gamblers finallyy tumbled to our game and put up & job onus.

The Fly-Casting Contests and Lawn “Tennis Tournament. The San Francisco Fly-casting Club will hold a special casting tournament on Sat- urday next at Stow Lake, and handsome medals will be given to the casters who succeed in makine the best average. At last Saturday’s practice some first-class long-distance casting was done, but for accuracy a strong wind,which was blowing at the time, greatly interfered with the sport. The annual fournament of the club will be held some time in September at some | INTO place which will be selected by the com+ mittee. In all probability the tournament will be held at Laguna Honde, a smail lakeé near the Almshouse, which is shels tered on all sides by hills. Messrs. Bo- gart, Mansfield and Brown will leave next Baturday evening for the upper waters of the Sacramento river. 4 Jack Sammi of the Ban Francisco Rod and Gun Club is at present rusticating and enjoying his honeymoon at Lake Inde- endence, in the Sierra Nevadas. The ake will not be opened to anglers proper until Baturday next, as there is yet con- siderable ice on its surface. Al Cumming and a friend will leave next week for Webbér Lake, which should be in eplendid order for fly fishing about the latter part of this month. James Butler arrived from Eel river on onday. He states that ié enjoyed some good fishing inthe small streams and that the main stream is clearing off rapidly whlich means good sport for anglers in July. Frank Marcus and W. A. Tilley had first-class sport on Lake Ban Francisco last Friday. Mr, Tilly very iortunately ex- caped recently the bad results that gen- erally accrue from the bite of a rattle- snake. Last week, while visiting friends in the stiburbs of Los Angeles, he was bitten in the calf of the lég by a young rattler, The limb was swolién twice its natural rize when the sufferer reached medical aid, but when the remediés gemerally used for snake-bite were applied, Tilley quickly re- covered. The lawn tennis championship tourna. ment of the Pacific Coast will be held at Hotel Rafael on July 3 and 4, and the wine ner will be called upon to play Sumner Hardy, the present champion. The win- ner of the ail.comers’ tournament will be presented with a handsome prize valued at $100, and the runner-up second prize valued at $50. A silver cup is offered by the association for a match between the winner of the all- comers tournaniéht and the presént cham- pion, to become the personal property of the winner whén won three times, nou necessarily in succession.

THE NEW WOV " SOUARE MARKET Its Construction Will Be Commenced in Ten Days, AND ENDED IN OCTOBER, The Mariet Men, Tired of Wait. ing, at Last Decide to Remov A THREE-STORY BRICK Consequently They Cheerfully Sign Ten Years’ Lease With George D. Toy. 1t is now finally settled that San Fran- cisco is soon to posséss a new modern market with all the latest equipmients and sanitary devices. The west side of Powell street, north of O'Farrell, has been se- fected as the most promising site for its Jocation, and yesterday a ten years’ lease of the property was signed between George D. oy, the real estate man, and the Un- jon-square Market Company, a corpora- tion comprising the principal tenants now doing business in the old Central Market at the corner of Sutter street and Grant avenue. 1t was the original intention of D. Sam- uels to lease the old Sutter-street building from the owner, Frank J. Sullivan. Ne- gotiations between the parties are still pending, but the market men, tired of the delay and the uncertalnty of the result, have at last decided that it would be best for them, in any évent, to accept the offer of Mr. Toy and remove to a more favor- able business location, where they could enjoy the advantages of a long lease at a reasonable rental, and of a building con- structed expressly with the view of meet- ing thelr requirements. Plans for the new building are now ba- ing drawn by Hermann & BSwain, the architects. Work upon it will be begun in ten days, and by the 1st of next October it will be finished and ready for occupancy. It will have a frontage of 68 feet 9inches on Powell street, with a depth of 137 feet 6inches. An L will run to O'Farrell street, giving a frontage there of 64 feet, 6 inches. The building will be of brick, three stories high and sixty feet deep in its front | portion, the remainder being one story { Righ, with skylights. The iwo upper stories will be let for lodge and office purposes and arranged to suit the wishes of the tenants. In its construction and equipment the new market will in all respects be fully up to date. For these redsons the market men are greatly pleased, and Mr. Toy is | calmly congratulating himself upon the consummation of a successful stroke of business; whieh will make o material addi- tion to the improyements of the City.
