A MISHAP ON THE MONTICELLO The Blairmore Towed Into Shallow Water and Now the Wreckers Are Jubilant. At the present time there are fifty-nine foreign and Atlantic vessels in port and of these only five are at the wharves. These are the Almora at Main sireet, Beechbank at the Oriental wharf, Springburn at Green, Sterling at Upion and St. john at Steuart. Several of these are almost dis- charged, so that it is within the proba- bilities that the wharves may be deserted during the week. Of course there are a number of coasters and sugar-boats in the docks, but the number of the latter—four —is even less than usual. Last July the tonnage of the disengaged vessels in port was only 5357 tons, while this month there is 37,053 disengaged tonnage. The Spring- burn at Green and the Sterling at Union | street wharves give an air of bustle to | those places, but trom Meiggs whart to the Mail dock all the other docks seem de- serted. The raisers of the Blairmore met with a success yesterday. The hull was got al- most upright, and then the Monarch towed it a mile inshore. She was in eight- een feet at high water and at low water her hatches will be clear. An attempt will then be made to open her up and shift the ballast, as Captain Burns is of the opinion that it is holding her down. The sunken vessel is now in a position where she can be worked to advantage, and everybody concerned expects to get her up either to-day or to-morrow. The Vallejo steamer Monticello broke down again on Saturday night. Captain Randall summoned the steamer Amador, and all the passengers were landed near Port Costa in time-to catch the last train | for San Francisco. The breakdown was | only a small affair, and the steamer was running again yesterday afternoon. The Ladies’ Opportunity Circle of the First Congregational Church, Sausalito, is to give a ‘“‘cookie shine’’ on board the British ship Wynnstay next Thursday. Captain McBryde has given his vessel for the occasion, and the ship’s boats will meet all visitors at the ferry landing at Sausalito. Tickets, includin refresh- ments, will be 50 cents, and the proceeds will go toward Lelping along the little | chureh in Sausalito. Dave Anderson, boatswain on the steamer Umatilia, had a narrow escape yesterday. The vessel was backing out into the stream on her stern line, but was eased up in order to allow a tug to pass. The line caught in the propeller, and as Anderson was leaning over the side a loop | of it passea around his body. As the steamer backed he was pulled overboard and was being rapidly crushed to death when Jack Gray, a boatman, saw his pre- dicament and cut the rope with his knife. Anderson dropped into the water and was | picked up badly bruised and crushed but | conscious. | _James Winslow, foreman for Henry | Bingham on the Mail dock, met with a | serious accident yesterday morning. He | fell down the forehold of the steamer Newport and broke his leg and otherwise injured himself. He was taken to his | home and last night was doing fairly well.

Chief Crowley Trying to Save Her by Preventing Her Fiom Being Sent to Fresno. Chief Crowley has been interesting him- self in the case of Doy Toy, a pretty Chi- nese woman 20 years &1 age, who is at present in the City Prison on a charge of robbery. Some months ago she was arrested for grand larceny on complaint of her hus- band, but managed to defeat the case, as it was shown that it was a trumped-up charge to get possession of her, she having taker refuge in the Presbyterian Mission, on Sacramento street. She had fled from Los Angeles, as she had learned that her husband was conspiring with highbinders to sell her to a Chineseslave-dealer in Vic- toria, B. C., for $2000. After her release on the grand larceny charge she went vack to her husband, who had taken up his resiagence in Fresno. She did not care to live with him and got a sitnation with a family there. = Her susband and some highbinders be- Zan to persecute her again, so as to induce her to sell” herself into slavery, and even went so far as to apply hot irons to her | feet to torture her into submission. She would not give into them, and a few days ago fled from Fresno. She was ar- rested here last Thursday, on her arrival, and taken to the California-street station, thence to the City Prison. The warrant on which she was arresied was issued in Fresno, on complaint of her husband, and charged her with robbery. “The Chiet had the facts drawn to his at- tention, and he refused to allow her to be sent back to Fresno, believing the robbe; charge was trum up, like the gran larceny charge. e is in communication with the Frésno authorities, with the ob- ject of getting the warrant withdrawn, The British Ship Springburn at Green Street and the American Ship Sterling at Union-Street Wharf Make the Best Showing on the Water Front.

IS ALMOST RECAPTURED An Exciting Scuffle Ensues Be- tween Officer and High- binders. THE GIRL HAD BEEN ABUSED. Covered With Bruises From the Beat- ings Inflicted by Her Inhuman Masters. A young Chinese woman ranning down Clay street and loudly blowing a police whistle about 2 o’clock yesterday morning startled Officer McGrayn as he was patrolling his beat tnrough Chinatown. When the officer approached her she seemed very much frightened, and fled into a restaurant on Washington street, near Washington alley, where she endeav- ored to hide under a table. ‘Wheun the officer had persuaded her to come out several Chinese came up and told him that the girl had been drinking and was intoxicated. They took the girl back to the house she had fled from on Fish alley, although she fought against being taken back. Inside of the house there was a large crowd of men, of whom the girl seemed very much afraid, for she clung to the police officer and begged him to take her away. When the officer attempted tolead her out of the house a lively fight ensued be- tween the one policeman and the crowd of highbinders, and in tbe scuffie the girl lost both her shoesand had her clothing nearly torn from her body. The Chinese insisted that the girl was intoxicated and demanded that the officer take her to the Califoruia-street police sta- tion and have her booked for diunken- ness. The officer took uer to the station, but the crowd followed him and the officer realized that all the Chinamen wanted to do was to have her booked, so that they might bail her out. Accordingly he had her taken to the Presbyterian Mission House, 920 Sacramento street, where Miss Margaret Culbertson, the matron, endeav- ored to pacify the frightened girl. Several Chinese called at the mission yesterday to see the girl, but she was con- fined to her bed all day in consequence of the bruises and beating ste had received from her inhuman owners. The girl, who is about twenty-four years of age, is very frail and delicate and bears marks all over her body of the beatings and ill treat- ment she has received. According to the story the girl told Mrs. Culbertson at the mission, she has been kept in the house in Washington alley by a Chinamaa named Chun Pun. She had been told that when she earned a certain amount of meney she should be given her freedom. Several times she had asked her owners how much she had turned over to them, and when she askea this question of the woman at the house yesterday morning the latter told her that she would let her know when she had earned enough to buy her freedom. Upon this the quarrel began which ended in the girl fleeing from the house cown Clay street WROTE HIS OWN OBITUARY. Death of 2n O1d-Time Carrier of French Newspapers. 2 An aged Frenchman, who for more than forty years was a famillar figure on the streets of Ban Francisco, died yesterday, at the age of 79. The deceased was Alex- andre Quirin, who, from 1854 up to a few months ago, was a carrier of French news- papers in this City. The peculiarity about Monsieur Quirin was that he was not, like the carriers of other daily papers, anxious to get over the ground with all possible speed and serve the subscribers bright and early. The moment he left the office of publication he would take a copy of the paper he deliverca, start at the first item of news on the first page, and as he walked along he would read, and in that way in- form himself of the news of the d would go over. his route, and he resched the door of a subscriber he would the hook, inserted “July 13” and sent it to the composition-room. =A few months ago the old man, who ad become very feeble, was taken sick, but being like many more old Californians, without anything laid away for a rainy day, he was forcea to seek shelter in an in- stitution for the care of those who are poor and unable to take care of them- selves, to remain until called away, on the eve of the festival of the French nation, in which he always took a great interest. CHARLEY FAIR RETURNS ‘Worried, but Intends the Cravem Claim Set- tled. Charles L. Fair returned on last night’s overland train from the East, but he is not worried over the claim made against the Fair estate by Mrs. Craven. “I thought it wasn’t my father’s writing when I withdrew my name from the pro- bate of the will,”’ said he when seen in his apartments at the California, ““These later documents I have not seen. ‘When they were first produced I tele- graphed to my attorneys asking if my presence was needed in San Franeisco on account of these so-called deeds. They wired back for me to remain away as long as [ was so inclined—that things were all right. So I stayed until I wished to re- turn. “I spent most of my time in'New York City, though I attended the convertion at- St. Louis. *I propose now to remain here until Not to See this whole thing is settled.” Mr. Fair was away a little over a month, and has returned looking unusually well. His wife is with him. - e——— The Ship-Owners’ Association, The Ship-Owners’ Association heid its third annual meeting last Friday and re-elected the following officers: A. M. Simpson, president; W.

NO ONE DEMANDS THEM. A Lot of State Property That Is Not Cared For by the Authorities. SOME HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED. General Warfield Says He Would Not Permit Any National Guardsman to Use the Guns. On a vacant lot fronting on Polk street, between Broadway and Vallejo, which if numbered would be 2111, there are four field pieces and four caissons which are ex- posed to the action of the atmosphere, of the rays of the sun and are in no way pro- tected. These guns are the property of the State and at one time were the pride of and in charge of Company A, Light Battery. ‘When that company was converted into a troop of cavalry there was no further use for the field pieces, and they were allowed to remain in the armory on the south side of Pacific avenue, west of Polk street, un- The Abandoned Canuon on Polk Street, Between Broadway and Vallejo. til shortly after the recent change in the National Guard. George U.-Hind, who owns the armory property, when the troop, which had be- come in arrears for ‘rent, after a gentle hint to vacate, did retire, found himself in the possession of the vacated premises, a battery of artillery, a lot of tents, sabers, saddles, leggings, parts of uniforms d other articles that go to make up a mili- tary company. ot being ambitious ‘0 be a National gnardsman, and unlike Mrs. Toodles, not believing these articles were “bandy to have in the house,” he notified an officer of the disbanded or mustered out company to remove the muni of war, and the reply he received was, “I've no use for them, and gou can do just whatever you please with them.” Then Mr. Hind rented a part of the ar- mory to a Captain Dilhan, who when he moved in found the military property a nuisance and consulted with the landlord. Finally the adjutant-general’s office was communicated with. Red tape detayed the answer. Captain Dilhan was insistent on his rights, so the landlord hired a man and pair of horses to move the battery to the vacant lot, and there it 1s. The other properiy was taken to the loft of the building. The field pieces are ten-pounders, known as ‘“‘Parrotts” —obsolete, it is true—but they bave never been condemned, and when part of service they were used for firing salutes, and never an accident oc- curred in the discharging of them but once, and that was not the fault of the gun but of the men in charge of it. General Warfield said that the guns are valueless; that they are unsafe, and that he would not aliow a man of his command to fire a shot from one of them; that some time ago he refused to loan either of them for purposes of firing a salute, and that on the occasion of the funeral of the late Major-Genera! Dimoud he would not allow them to be used for salute-firing. He said they were offered to tire authorities at San Quentin, but they were refused, and that now they are worth only what m‘% will bring as old iron. Last week a man offered $40 for the wheels. % “If any one wants them,” the general added, ‘‘they may be had cheap. As to the other material it is absolutely useless, asit was all condemned some time ago by Captain Carrington, U. 8.

Hoitt, Ph.D., Master* NOTARY COONEY | RETURNS TO TOWN Much Disgusted Over the Row About His Ab- sence. WILL SIGN TO-MORROW. Did Not Consider Judge Slack’s Remark as Manda- tory. MRS. HASKINS TO TESTIFY. She Will Tell Her Story To-Day Before a Notary ke Public. J. J. Cooney has been found. Itappears that Mr. Cooney was notlost. Mr. Cooney is the ex-notary public who took the acknowledgment of James G. Fair to the deeds by which he transferred by gift two pieces of property to Mrs, Nettie R. Craven, Mr. Cooney made his deposition before Judge Slack, sitting as a commissioner, last Thursday. The court stenographer said he woulc have his notes written out ready to read to Mr. Cconey that he might sign the deposition on Saturday morning at 11 o’clock. Mr. Cooney did not appear, and after waiting some time Judge Slack issued a bench warrant, which was placed in the hands of deputy sheriffs, who made a search, but failed to find him, and so re- ported. Reports, some of them rigiculously sen- sational, were immediately put in circula- tion as to the ‘‘disappearance” of the no- tary. It was even insinuated—and this in print—that the attorneys for Mrs, Craven had spirited Cooney away “because his story was not all straight, and they wanted to whip itinto shape.” The absurdity of this is apparent when it is understood that the deposition has been in the hands of Judge Slack and the court reporter all the whiie. ‘When Mr. Cooney returned to the City after an absence over Sunday he was a profoundly surprised and disgusted man to learn what a fuss had been made about his going. He repaired to the office of Delmas & Shortridge and explained to the attorneys for Mrs. Craven that he had been outof town on business. He bad no idea, he said, that the remark of Judge Slack, to the effect that the dep- osition would be ready for signature on Saturday, was mandatory. Having been a notary himself, he said. and knowing that it was the rule to have a deposition in readiness, that a witness might sign it at his convenience, any time before the date that it was required in court, he really gave the matter little thought. Some private business required him to leave town Saturday morning, and on his ‘way to the boat he passed some of the at- torneys for the Fair trustees, at that very time probably on their way to court. He will sign the deposition this morn- ing if it can be found, Judge Slack having in the meantime left on his vacation of three weeks. “Mr. Cooney was an entire stranger to me almost to the day he appeared in court,” said Mr. Delmas, speaking of the matter yestérday. “He was a friend of Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Knight and Mr. Heggerty, all of the other side. I was not much alarmed about the young man’s ab- sence, but if there was any kidnaping done—well, the least that may be said is that it came with bad grace from them to insinuate that we did it.” The deposition of Mrs. Haskins will be taken this morning before Notary Milton S. Latham in Lawyer John E. Richards’ office. Mrs. Haskins has to say that she was present when Senator Fair presented the deeds in question to Mrs. Craven.
