A SUCCESSFUL SEA EXCURSION. Messrs. Arthur Pip>r and John Open- heim Received a Ducking in the Lee Scuppers. i Once more the gamblers in reinsurance | have made a “killing.” The British four- masted bark Jordanhill, on which 40 per cent was paid, arrived in port yesterday a Francisco. The former has been given up for lost and on the latter 50 per cent re- insurance has been paid. The excursion to the wreck of the Colombia on the steamer Mexico last Sun- day was a genuine success. When off the Farallones T. W. Leydecker, the well- known pigeon-fancier of Alameda, released ten of his young birds. They had never been away from home before except on one occasion when they were flown from the Cliff House. The youngsters made the flight in the fast time of 1 hour and 2 seconds. At the wreck ten more birds were released, but only seven of these reached home. They made the flignt in 2 hours 43 minutes. Of the seven six were old birds and one was a voung one. The three missing are all youngsters, but Mr. Leydecker is confident that they will turn up. It was hazy at the time they were liberated and one of them did not leave the Mexico until she was close ashore. Arthur Piper and John Openheim are not likely to forget the excursion in a hurry. They were standing forward of the pilot- house when a big sea broke aboard and washed them into the lee scnppers. Another wave washed them along the deck and nobody knows where they would have landed if Captain Bennett and T. W. Leyvdecker had not rushed to the rescue. “Oh Lord! Oh Lord!” gasped Openheim. “I thought I was oyerboard.” Piper was all right, but as there was not a suit of clothes on the steamer that would fit him he bad to ‘‘reek the seclusion that a cabin grants” until his own were dried in the engine-room. He says they are now two sizes t00 small for him. T. C. Wills, who is superintending the Pacific Coast’ Steamship Company’s whal- ing excursion, is not letting the grass grow under his feet. His boats’ crews have all been secured and the men are hard at work daily getting the harpoons, blubber-spades and bomb-guns in readi- ness for the occasion. The Oakland and Alameda people want to witness the | sport, and the chances are that a ‘special | boat will be put on for the occasion. The | tug Fearless will be the flagship, and she DID NOT SELL THE FRANCHISE, { The Supervisors Prevented From Doing So by the Court. SERVING OF THE WRIT Geary-Street Right of Way Will Not Be Let Just at Present. | MUST EXPLAIN THEIR ACTION City Fathers Sad to Want to Give Away a Million Dollars of City Money. Judge Daingerfield yesterday issued an | mnjunction and a writ of prohibition re- straining the Board of Supervisors from taking any further action at presentin by Captain Taylor. The British Four-Masted Bark Jordanhill Was Six Weeks Rounding Cape Horn and Was Blown to .60 deg. South. Her Bulwarks Were Smashed, Sails Blown Off and Everything Movable on Deck Was Carried Away. The Above Sketch Was Drawn From a Description Furaished little the worse for the battering she re- ceived off the Horn, but still thoroughly seaworthy. It was a perilonsvoyage from start to finish, and on one occasion Captain Taylor had to put about and run away down south in order to escape going ashore. It took the Jordanhill since last January to make the run from Liverpool to San Francisco. Nearly two months of the time was spent in battling with adverse winds off the cape and it was May 20 be- fore 50 soutn 85 west was reached. Sails were blown out of the bolt ropes, the bulwarks were carried away, the cabin and forecastle were flooded and everything movable was washed overboard. The Jordanhill left Liverpool early in January in tow of a tng. A gale came up all her head rails and had to come to an anchor in order to prevent going ashore. Two months later she was caught in an- other hurricane. The hail and sleet were continuous, and the stormsails split one after the other. Part of the bulwarks were carried away, and everything movable on deck was washed overboard. On Aprii 9 a heavy gale from northwest to west, increasing to & hurricane, was en- countered, and the lower topsails were blown from the bolt ropes. The vessel was forced down to 60 south, and the entire crew suffered from the cold and exposure. Captain Taylor sighted a number of ships when in the southern waters but did not speak any of them. The only other overdue vessel from Liverpool is the Blackbraes, now out 197 days. She also has had a hard time of it, having to put back on account of stress of weather and later having to put into Montevideo on fire and leaking. Her en- ire cargo was discharged and she is now on the ways undergoing repairs. The Cedarbank, A. G. Ropes, Wilhelm Tell, Cambuskenneth and Jordanhill, on all of which reinsurance was paid, have now safely reached port. No word has been receivet from the City of Philadelphia and Santa Clara, from New York for San and the bawser parted. The vessel lost | and the steamers that willaccompany her will go up the coast as far as Drakes Bay. If a whale be notsighted anchor will be cast in the bay for the night and a clam- bake will be served in the morning. Sun- day a run down the coast will be in order, and the chances are that a whale will be picked up. In case of an accident a whale- boat, manned by the most experienced hoatmen in the bay, under command of Henry Peterson. will be in readiness to render assistance. The excursion should be a pleasant and exciting one from start to finish. PET.Y PILFsRING. Pierre Brigaerts Arrested for Stealing : From Telephone Boxes. Pierre Brizaerts, an electrician in the employ of the Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Company, was arrested yester- day morning by Special Officer W. Bram- mage and booked at the City Prison on a charge of petty larceny. The company had been suspicious that some one was stealing the money from the telephone boxes and Brammage was put on the case. Brigaerts, whose duty was to repair telephones out of order, was sent yesterday morning to repair a phone on Gough -treet. Tien he was sent to one two blocks away and when he returned he was arrested. When searched 70 cents in nickels were found in his pockets, which, it is claimed, he took from the box at Gough street. Brigaerts, who is a young married man 27 years of age, denies the charge and at- tributes his arrest to a foolish remark he made about a week ago. SENEEEEEAT salicai Not Father Yorke’s Portrait. The executive committee of the Women’s Liberal League desires to protest against the eddling of alleged portraits of Rey. Peter grorke throughout the City. The ladies state that the portraits are not the portraits of Fa- ther Yorke, and the speculator responsible for them they say is in imminent danger of arrest. ] e Horrr's School for Boys, Burlingame. Bixth year begins Aug.4. Ira G. Hoitt, Ph.D., Master* the matter of selling the Geary-street railway franchise. The writs were issued at the instigation of George R. Fletcher, who claims in the complaints filed thatthe actions of the board in the matter are irregular. First, the notices of the sale of the franchise, 2s published in the afternoon papers, were not published on the consecutive days as pro- vided by law. A Sunday and a holiday inter- vened, on which occasions the paper was not printed. Second, because the resolution, notice and advertisement regarding the sale failed to comply with the terms of the application, in that a clause was inserted by the Supervisors providing fora yearly report of the gross earn- ings of ‘the road, said report to be sworn to by the president and secretary of the railway company. On the strength of the report a tax of 2 per cent of the gross earnings of the com- : pany was to be levied and paid into the Street Department fnnd. The clause further pro- vided that in case the report was not furnished the franchise should become void. Itis said that this clanse was inserted by ihe Super- visors without warrantand in direct violation of an act of the State Legislature of March 23, 1893. 3 The contention is that this stipulation in the proposed franchise prevents and de- stroys fair, open and public competition for the purchase of the right, privilege and franchise and was inserted to destroy public competition and restrict bids to the Geary-street, Park and Ocean Railroad Company. The complaint quotes the following por- tions of the proposed franchise: The following grant is made upon the follow- ing conditions, strictly to be complied with by said grantee, its successors and assigns: Work to construct sald railroad must be com- menced within one year from the dateof the pass- age of this order, and the same must be completed within three years thereafter. Mr. Fletcher says that only tbe Geary- street, Park and Ocean Railroad Company , could comply with such terms and condi- tions, that company being the exclusive owner and in exclusive possession of the right of way along the streets named in the franchise and 1s entitled exclusively to maintain and occupy the same for the pur- poses of a street railway until November, 1903. Should the franchise be sold under the present resolution, notice and advertise- ment to any other person or corporation than the Geary-street road, it 1s said that a great deal of expensive litigation with the road mentioned would surely result over the right of way. Further. 1t is set forth that nobody but the Geary-street road could obtain a clear and unciouded title to the right of way. Again, it is said that the right of way is worth $1,500,000, but that under the pres- ent resolution but $500,000 could be ob- tained for it. It is further alleged that the acts and proceedings of the Board of Supervisors are without its jurisdiction; that there is no appeal therefrom and no adequate remedy in the courts of law; wherefore it is prayed that a writ of prohibition be issued restraining the board from taking further action in the matter at the present time. An injunction enjoining the board from selling the franchise on August 3 was also issned by Judge Daingerfield, as was a writ of review commanding the" Super- visors to appear in court and explain their actions in the matter. When the franchise matter came up in the board yesterday aiternoon Supervisor Dimond called the attention of the mem- bers to the fact that each had been served with a copy of the injunction granted by Judge Daingerfield. He moved that action be deferred and the matter be referred to the City and County Attorney. Supervisor King seconded the motion and it was carried. MR, ASAND'S STEAMERS, They Will Make San Francisco One of Their Ter- mini. Ample Dockage Has Been Secured and Enough Local Business to Guarantee Success. Sachio Asano, president of the proposed Oriental Steamship Company, whose ves- sels may ply between San Francisco and | Asiatic ports, had a conference with Traffic Manager Stubbs yesterday. Mr. Stubbs gave Mr. Asano every en- couragement. He laid emphasis upon the fact that the port of San Francisco was the most advantageous place on the coast jor the line'of steamships and that he would afford him every facilitv possible. There is now but very little doubt that the line will come here. It has been al- ready guaranteed sufficient local business to warrant the line making San Francisco one of its termini. The question of dock- age has been settled very satisfactorily. ———————— NEW ELECTION OFFICERS. A Large Number of Vacancies Filled by * " the Commissioners Yesterday.

COMMERCIAL OLYMPIC _NQ!IINATII]NS. Two Tickets Were in the Field and One Favored a New Board. Indications Point to a Hot Campaign Over the Presidency of the Institution. Three hundred members, who are inter- ested in the future welfare of the Olympic Club, assembled n the gymnasium last evening to select a nominating committee. There were two tickets in the field— white and yellow. The former ticket was put forward by members who favored the re-election of President Eaton, and the yellow by men who favored, with few ex- ceptions, a clean sweep in the directorate of the club. The meeting was called to order by F. W. Eaton, ana that gentleman spoke at lergth on the management of the club’s affairs ever since the time of his election to office. In the course of his remarks he had occasion to hau!l Secretary Bosworth over the coals for not having the monthly reports of the club posted in their custom- ary places, but the secretary replied that he was not at fault in the matter, as he had instructed the superintendent in this particular, Mr. Eaton read a report he had pre- pared of the financial condition of the club, and explained in detail to the mem- bers present the difficulties that he had to contend with in conducting successfully such a heayy undertaking. He explained the reasons for the decrease in member- ship and why the club was not financially as prosperous as it was in former years. Secretary Russ was loudly cheered when he took the floor. He said.in brief that he had for many years taken a deep inter- est in the affairs of the Olympic Club and that nothing gave him greater pleasure than to see the club in a prosperous condi- tion. He did not touch upon its financial affairs. Mr. Eaton then called for nominations, and after a short pause, Merton C. Allen arose from his chair. He said that a change for the better interest of the club was, 1n his judgment, necessary; that the club was not exactly what it shoula be and that its financial condition might be to- day in a better state. He then placed in namination the fol- lowing gentlemen whose names appeared on the yellow or gold ticket, viz.: Frank J. Devlin, manager of the Atlas Insurance Company; Charles H. Lamberton, cashier of McLaughlin Estate Company; W. H. Snedaker, general agent of the Rio Grande Western Railway; George Watkins, man- ager Union Photo Engraving Company, and John H. Hardy of Wells, Fargo & Company. James Sweeney followed in the footsteps of Mr. Allen and spoke strongly in favor of five gentlemen whose names appeared on a white ticket. They were: George Jones, president Dickman-Jones Com- pany; Charles K. Melrose, cashier Union Ice Company; Martin Stevens, attorney- at-law; Dr. O. B. Burns, dentist, and Thomas Jennings, wholesale grocer. Chairman Eaton suggested that the members segregate and those favoring the white ticket take the east side of the gymnasium and their opponents the oppo- s NEW TO-DAY.

Attorney Joseph Coffey objected to this system of counting voters and suge gested a vote by ballot, which was gener= ally approvea of. ‘The members, as they left the hall, cast a vote i favor of the yellow or white, and when the baliots were counted the yellow ticket, which favored a clean sweep, won out. The result was 164 yellow as against 127 white. After the vote was made known several of the members who favor Mr. Eaton for president anrounced that they would have an opposition ticket in the field which wiil sweep everything before it on election day.
