The Blairmore is within 100 yards of ‘Watson’s Point and there is now not a shadow of a doubt that she will be raiced. At low water aimost her entire decks are bare and in consequence the divers will have no difficulty in removing the hatches. The work of taking out the ballast will begin to-day and at the same time it is expected that the bodies en- tombed in the hold will be recovered. Once the ballast is removed and ths ship made sirtight it is thought that she will come up on an even keel of her own accord. Captain Jacobson of the schooner Jennie and Edna had a narrow escape yes- terday. He fell overboard at low water and stuck in the mud. The water almost covered his mouth and he was in danger of strangling when John Olson, chief mate of the steam shooner Del Norte gota line Santa Clara County any bush, limbs of trees or other articles used as a brake or drag for retarding speed attached to any bicycle or any other vehicie or convey- ance. The maximum penalty for its vio- lation is $50 fine, or imprisonmentin the County Jail not to exceed twenty-five days. It has been a very general practice among wheelmen to descend steep grades by attaching a drag of some sort, but the drag had a tendency to tear up and de- stroy the road surface and raise large clouds of dust, and several bad accidents have been narrowly averted where teams became scared when the cyclist with a drag attached attempted to s. During the last year light bicycle br&:: have been perfected which accomplish the purpose for which they are designed, .ng it is really easier for a wheelman contem- plating a hilly trip to provide himself with one of these than to cut and attach a bush or tree limb. —_—————— FAIR MUSIC AWARDED. Mechanics’ Institute Turns Down Fritz Scheel—The Fish Exhibit. The directors of the Mechanics’ Institute met last night at 31 Post street, and cho: music for the coming home products fai Fritz Scheel, who conducted orchestras here for some time last year, had made application to furnish music for the ex- position. The directors considered his offer, and then rejected it in favor of one made by Gustav Hinrichs, a musician now engaged at the Tivolw. The character of the fish exhibit was de- termined. ‘There will be three large tanks filled with different iateresting food fish displayed by the Fish Commission. A par- ticular feature will be the salmon exhibit, which will show fish in all stages of de- velopment, from the spawn to maturity. D‘egp-sen fish will be shown frozen in blocks of ice. The art department will be in charze of Henry Raschen, and he will endeavor to obtain as a loan exhibit all the old mas- ters in the possession of private persons in this City and elsewbere in the State. Messrs. Leggett, Hendrix and Heald were appointed a commitiee to arrange for opening exercises, which it1s the inten- tion to make very unique and attractive. over his shoulders and pulled him out. The Harbor Commissioners were called to order by Secretary John Markley of the State Board of Equalization yesterday. He wanted to know why E. R. Swain’s bill for $355 47 had been charged to the Ban Francisco improvement fund instead of to the San Francisco depot fund. Presi- dent Colnon acknowledged that a mistake had been made and the warrant was ordered back for rectification. J. J. Moore & Co. asked for a reduction in the wharfage charges on the British ship Sir Robert Fernie. The firm asserts that the vessel was unnecessarily delayed in discharging. The Commissioners thoughnt differently and the application was denied. J. 8. Kimball & Co. have a small house on Mission-street wharf, in which they transact much of their business connected with their steamers. It is against the rules and regulations that govern the front to have a permanent house on any wharf, so the Chief Wharfinger was instrucied to have the Kimball structure removed. Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who is here in the interest of a line of steamers that is to run between Yokohama and Portland, asked the board for special rates of wharfage and port charges. He explained that in'the’ near future his boats might toucn at San Francisco. He was told that there was one uniform rate, and thatzll were treated alike. The rate was given him and also a map of the City front. AMONG THE WHEELMEN Remarkable Ride of a Lady Over Mount St. Helena Unac- companied. A Santa Clara C u 'ty Ordinance For- bidding Drags Behind Wheels. Reason for the Measure. At the last meeting of the California Cycling Club Monday night nine mem- bers of the San Jose Road Club which re- bership. The list includes the Belloli brothers, Bailey and Bob McFarland, O’'Brien and others, and the Californias expect another bunch at their next meet- | ing. Miss E. Palmer of Santa Rosa recently accomplished the feat of riding over Mount St. Helena on her wheel, some- thing which has never even been at- tempted by a lady cyclist heretofore, There is but one house on the fourteen- | mile journey, seven of which are shaded but up-hill, while the other seven are un- shaded, over steep, dusty roads, on this side of the mountain. She was pretty well exhausted from the trip, as she had tried to ride as much of the distance on her wheel as possible. She is very proud| of her feat, and well she may be, as any one who has been over the stage road up and down the mountain will agree that for a lady to make the trip alone and on a wheel is truly remarkabie. She says she felt somewhat nervous all the time, as she was unaccompanied. Miss Palmer was given quite a reception at the bands of her friends when she arrived at Calistoga. To-morrow night a banquet will b ten- | dered to the team of five men from the Acme Club which won the big twenty-mile road race last Sunday by the donators of | the trophy. The board of governors of the associated clubs and the officials who bad charge of the race bave also been in- vited. The banquet will be held at 7 o’clock in the evening at Tortoni’s. All the big clubs will attend the annual picnic of the associated clubs next Sunday at San Mateo. The Bay Citys, Olympics, San Franciscos, Californias and Imperials are goinc in large numbers and a big time is expect. d. 2 The Cycle Board of Trade will meet this evening at the Biclorama, Tenth and Market streets, to discuss all matters per- taining to the proposed big cycle parade to be held Saturday evemng, July 25. The captains of all the local bicycle clubs are invi ed to attend the meeting, and it shou'd not take much talking to show themn that the parade will reaound largely to the benefit of the club and individual cyclers. W. A. Terrill and R. L. Long, the two crack professional racers of the Bay City Wheelmen, sccompanied by their trainers, Artbur H. Terrill and Geéorge E. Dixén, will go to Bacrament> to-day (10 commence training for the big indoor tournament there on the evenings of July 23, 24 and 25. Many other local wheelmen will com- pete at ihat meet.

John Ivancovich & Co. Are Out a Censiderable Sum by His Manipu'aticns. The members of the firm of John Ivan- covich & Co., commission merchants, doing business on Washington street, between Davis and Front, ars interested in the movements of Eugene Doyle. who has for the past seven years been the col- lector for the concern. Doyle went out last Saturday morning, having in his pos- session a check for $1,453 17, payable at the Bank of California, with which he was to vurchase exchanze. He also had $116 in coin, with which to pay certain bills, and he also had a large number of statements of account which were to be delivered at business houses around town. ‘When Saturday afternoon came around and Doyle did not return the members of the firm began to grow anxious. There was a chance.that Doyle might have $2000 in cash in his keeping and that some one had causrd foul play. The partners, who are P. L. Vucanovich and G. Beleney, be- gan to make inquiries, but the Bank of California was closed, and there was no way to ascertain whether Doyle had been there with the check for $145317. Stores were cenerally closed with whom the firm had dealings. _ The inquiries were pushed, however, and before night it was ascertained that Doyle went aboard the steamer Australia, which sailed Saturday, and that he had departed on that vessel for Honolulu. Doyle comes from a good family. His father formerly lived at Virginia City and Mr. Vucanovich knew him well at that place. This in fact led to the young man entering the employment of livancovich & Co. The partners found out that Doyle had not been living lately with his parents, and other facts were ascertained which indicated that he had been spending considerable money in various ways. Monday morning the check which Doyle took out Suturday was found at the post- office addressed to the firm. This did not reassure his employers. A comparison of books and accounts led to the discov- ery that Doyie, who was implicitly trusted, during seven years of continuous service, had since last May been holding back a part of the collections made by him from customers. He made some collec- tions on faturday last, but just how much bad not been ascertained last night. Mr, Vancovich says that probably the shortage in Doyle’s accounts will exceed $1000 and that it may amount to $2000, buc there is su]tI much uncertainty concerning the total. The probability 1s that Doyle will con- tinue on from Honolulu to Yokohama or Hongkong on the next China steamer, He speaks Chinese fluently and would have no difficulty in making his way among the e firm has not decided whether to have Doyle stopped if he should continne on. There would be no difficulty in iden- tifying him. He is about 25 years old, pre- possessing in appearance nnc{ manners and well educated. "He has often had as much as $2000 in gold taken in collections in one day but up to Saturday not the least sus- picion was entertained concerning his hon- esty. He has no property, so thatthe firm will probably have to bear the loss. Following closely upon this disappear- ance of the collector the news was received vesterday of the loss of the steamer Co- lumbia by which the firm loses about e Burglary Insurance. A new venture in the insurance line is insurance against loss by burglary, The company issues three forms of policy, viz.: residence, mercantile and bank.

DEER STORIES NOW IN ORDER How George Sperry Lost a Fine Desr to Bob Woodward Last Year. ! According to the State law the season for shooting male deer commences to-day and will continue until October 15. Sportsmen should be careful to note the changes that have been made, if any, by the Supervisors of the county in which they propose to hunt before they enter into the chase. Tue CarL of last Saturday published a list of the counties where the State law has been changed with a view to shorten- ing the season, therefore there can be but little excuse offered by deer hunters who may be caught in the act of shooting deer in counties where the Supervisors have changed the State law for the better in- terest of the game. Last evening a number of sharpshooters from the Country Club left this City for Olema and Point Reyes, from which place they will take conveyance to the club- house, which is situated in Bear Valley. Among the partv were Billy Kittle, Bob Woodward, President Hamilion and Mr. Tallant. The lordly sportsmen are san- guine of having grand sport to-day on the preserve of tke club, where there are many well-fed bucks waiting to be grassed by crack rifle-shooters. Kittle is an excellent shot and a first- class equestrial rd, who has an advantage in reach over Kittle, can see with ease from the saddle all that will be transpiring in the bottom of a gulch when the hounds are giving tongue. Tallagt and Hamilton did fairly well last s:ason, but they hope to do much bstter this year. According to a rule of the ciub goveming deer-snooting any member who Kills a doe or faun must pay a fine of $25 to the treas- urer; therefore great care will be exercised by the sportsmen when shooting at run- ning game A good story was related a few evenings ago, at the Pacific Union Club, by one of the members, concerning the inaugural deer shoot of last season. It appears that one of the several parties which scoured the hills 1n quest of deer was composed of Messrs. Sperry, Woodward, Hamilton, Tubbs and Kittle. The latter, so the story goes, spied a deer about four hundred yards distant from where the hunting party stood. The little animal was sneaking alons the hill- side and going away from the dogs when Kittle, turning to Sperry, saia, “There goes a fine young buck, and you'll soon have a chance to try your skill as a marks- man,” The deer stood broadside to the hunters after 1t bad reached an opening, present- ing & most beautiful target. Bperr% quickly brought up his rifle and fired. ' The deer jumped into the air shot through the heart and then fell dead against an old tree-stump. By Jove, that’s an excellentshot!” said Kittle, extending his band in the mean- time to Sperry as an offer of congratula- tion. Hamilton, who was standing about ten yards away from Kittle, was congratu- luing Woodward on the very excellent shot he had made. It appears that Sperry and Woodward aimed and fired at the same instant at the same deer. Both claimed the prize and words waxed warm, until Kittle whispered 1nto Sperry’s ear that the animal shot was 2 doe, and then the question, ‘“Who killed the deer?” was quickly settled. *‘Well, Bob, I must confess that you are an excellent shot. I thought I could bluff you into really believing that we both firea simultaneously and that it was my trusty rifle that accomplished the trick,” smilingly remarked Sperry, as he walked up to the haughty Woodward and slapoed him gently on the back. *‘Oh, that's all well and good, you know, in its way,”, replied ovodward; ‘‘but when I pull onh a deer the jig is up with the venison every time.” Kittle interrupted the discourse by shouting at a keeper who was on the op- posite side of the gulct to go and pack up the dead. S Sperry was profuse in his praises to Woodward for having made such a grand shot, and as the party were aiscassing the distance, the probable weight of the deer and the fine that is attached to the killing of a doe, the keeper dashed up on horse- back with a beantiful spiked buck firmly fastened to the pigskin. It is hardly necessary to remark that Bperry was as mad as a hatter when he de- tected his mistake. Snfficient to say that he has many times since then tried hard to get “even” on Kittle, but Billy has been always on the watch for a ‘‘flowery’’ play, and it has been whisvered in ciub circles recently that Sperry will stretch a link or two to-day in an attempt to equal- ize things before the return of the deer- slayers irom the happy hunting-erounds. John Bergez, Billy' Brown, Frank la Coste, Billy Berg, John Carrigan and H. Victor, of the Tamalpais Club, took their departure yesterday for Sausalito, from which place they will journey to the club- house of their preserve. Bergez, it is said, is the equal of the once famous Davy Crocket a deer- shooter, and naturally his many friends in this City are anxiously waiting for his return with big game. Frank Hoffling and John Qulgly of Hay- wards sre preparing for a big hunt in the Livermore canyons on the first day ot the season in Alameda County. Lloyd Eaton, Charles Dietz, H.

John J. Crooks, his wife, Miss Romie Wallace, a daughter of Judge Wailace, and a young man named Greenwood, were rown from a ‘‘trap,” and aithough all were much shaken up none were seriously hurt. Miss Wallace was at first thought to be injured, but her physician, Dr. Rosenstirn, reported that she was no more than bruised. The accident was caused by the ungov- ernable temper of one of the horses. He broke from the control of his driver, and after the team shad run a short distance the “trap” was overturned and its occu- pants were thrown out on the road. Another Silver Club. A number of free-silver advocates living near Ingleside met at Charles Carlson’s hall last Saturday evening and perfected an or- nization which will be known as the Ingle- side Free-Siiver Club.

FORS WERRYS 1A Samuel T. Black Says That + Navigation Can Be Taught. Trustees of Chamber of Commerce Will Work for a Homing Pigeon Line. At a meeting of the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday the fol- lowing communication was received from Samuel T. Black, Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction: M. Babcock, Superintendent of Common Schools, San Francisco—MY DEAR SIR: 1 havesours of yesterday's date, inclosing Mr. Merry’s letter of inquiry concerning the establishment and maintenance of a school to teach navigation. I am quite sure that it would be perfectly competent for your board to establish such a school in connection, either with one of your high schools or your polytechnicai schools; or, such school, if deemed best by your board, might be maintained as a separate school. Icall vour attention to section 6 of article IX of the constitution of California, which States that the public school system may in- clude “‘such technical schools as may be estab- lished by the Legislature, or by municipal or district authority.” Permit me to express the hope that your Board of Education will give the suggestion of Mr. Merry careful consideration. Very re- spectfully, SAMUEL T. BLACK, Superintendent Public Instruction. This was referred back again to Superin- tendent of Schools Babcock. Communications were received from the Oakland Board of Trade and the Mer- chants' Association, indorsing the appeal of the Chamber of Commerce for the pro- posed Nicaragua canal to be an American canal and under American control. A letter was received from Colonel George W. Bell, United States Consul to Sydney, Australia, saying that he would be in this city on July 30 and desired that arrangements might be made so that he could lecture on topics for the benefit of commerce on the Pacific. It was decided to give Colonel Bell a hearing on July 31 at the Chamber of Commerce. o A communication was read from A. Carlisle, who desires to secure the in- fluence of the chamber in obtaining co- operation in establishing a permanent line of communication by means of carrier pigeons between San Francisco and the Farallon Islands for the benefit of ship- ing in general and for the Weather ureau. The trustees decided to exert their in- fluence among the shippers to this end. VICIOUS DOGS MUST GO. Carriers Will Not Deliver Mail Where Unfriendly Animals Are Kept. Beveral times during the past few weeks carriers have had oceasion to complain of vicious dogs along their routes. On two occasions the gray-coated public servants have been severely bitten, while others have only excaped a similar fate by viriue of extra Heetness of frot. There is a remedy, however, for such evils, ana John Mears, superintendent of the City division, propuses to eniorce it. Section 624 of the Postal Laws and Regu- lations says: “Carriers are not required to run the risk of being bitten by vicious dogs in deliver- ing mail matter. Persons keeping such dogs must call at the Postotfice for their mail, or if they wish it delivered at their houses must render it safe for the carriers to approach the premises.” The trouble complained of by the car- riers exists principally north of California and west of Montgomery streets. No less than fifteen property-owners have. been served with a copy of the above regula- tion within tne past ten dayvs, and unless they comply with its requirements they will be forced to call at the general deliv- ery for their mail. ————— For Assauit to Rob, W.

A broken rail on the track at the foot of Sixth street caused a smash-up yvesterday forenoon to engine 1016, belonging to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, by which Fireman C. E. Smith was badly scalded about the arms and chest. The engine was hauling twenty-five cars out of yard No. 1, preparatory to making up a freight train for the East, when the disaster occurred. It had puiled out of the yard and was proceeding along the southern track with the object of get- ting on one of the main lines and then backing up to connect with other 1reight-* cars on a different line, when suddenly the' engine jumped the track, dragging with it the tender. The momentum of the train had the effect of turning tender and engine round on the same principle asa ship swings to her anchor, and in doing so turned the en- gine round until its rear end came in con- tact with the first and second car, thereb; completely demolishing the first one an crushing in the second, throwing both off the track. The engineer, H. ¥. Windrick, - jumped from the cab and saved himself i but the fireman was not so fortunate. was caught between the engine and tender and held fast, while the escaping steam played | upon his arms and body. Assistance, however, soon came, and he was removed from his perilous position. Fortunately, the train was moving ata slow rate of speed; otherwise ihere would have been 2 general wreck of freight and cars. The wrecking engine was soon on the ground and removed the demolished en- gine from the track, while men with bars and sledge-hammers proceeded to break up the tender, as it was too badly damaged to be removed as a whole. The same ap- plication of destruction was followed out with the first car. This being empty, the sides were crushed in, while the end was driven through another empty car which was'standing on a spur track close by, de- molishing its side also. The second car, which was loaded, sank deep into the biack sand, and to removeit engine 1900, one of the most powerful of yard monsters, had to come out, and after puffing and snorting for fifteen minutes finally succeeded in hauling it on to the track, from where it was taken back to the shed. A gang of tracklayers were set to work, and after a few hours’ labor everything was in shape once more for traffic. The damage was only nominal trom a corporation standpoint, as the engine can be repaired and a new tender and freight- cars take the place of those that were smashed. g ——————— British Benevolent Society.
