Was to Have Loaded Tea at Kobe for San Francisco and the East. ONLY PARTIALLY INSURED. News From the Whaling Fleet Is Not Very Encouraging So Far. The well-known four-masted schooner Olga is probably a total loss in the Amoor River. Captain Charles Nelson, the man- aging owner, has received word that the vessel has been ashore for two weeks and that the chances of getting her off are very slight. The Olga left here several weeks ago under charter to Hawley Bros.” Hardware Company. This firm has been supplying much iron and other ware to the Trans- Siberian Railway and its mines. After discharging her freight the Olga wason her way from Nicolaelski, Siberia, for Kobe, Japan, to load tea for San Fran- cisco when she went on the mud flats and stuck hard and fast. The Olga is one of the fleet of coasting vessels that has made a name for California shipbuilders. She is one of the first ves- sels turned out by Captain Matthews from his Eureka shipbuilding yards and has always been considered one of the smartest schooners afloat. The Olga was 164 feet long, 36 feet beam and 12 feet deep. Her loss is partially covered by insurance. The tug Fearless will not go out with the whaling cruise next Saturday. The ex- cursionists who are going on the Queen made a kick and demanded that two of the whaling crews be stationed on their boat. It was finally decided to put all four crews on the bigz steamer and dis- pense with the tug. Should no whale be caught during the trip a schooner will be in readiness off the Farallones with two weeks’ provisions aboard, and the whalers will be transferred to her and the hunt continued until one of the mammals is se- cured. The schooner Queen has been chartered by the North Pacific Packing and Trading Company and will sail for Alaska in a few days to bring down a load of canned salmon. The schooner J. B. Leeds sails on Thursday for Central American ports with a large cargo of general merchandise. The bark Martha Davis is now out thirty-three days from Hawaii, and the friends of Captain Soule are wondering what is the matter. Everybody expected him to make a fast run, as the gailant skipper was due in Chicago on the 15th inst. to get married. His fiancee is wait- ing and watching for him, and in the meantime the Martha Davis is being car- med all over the ocean by light winds and baffling currents. Ex-Judge James G. Hayden of the steamer Tiburon is nowadays being con- gratulated from morning till night. He is a “forty-niner’’ and one of the ‘“vets,” and also the father of a bouncing boy that was born last Sunday. The Judge is one of dthe proudest men on the water front to-day. The steamer Monticello broke down last Monday night and the tug Vigilant made the evening and morning runs in her place. News from the whaling fleet states that the Hidalvo had 700 pounds of trade bone and the Rosario 2900 pounds of the same. Both vessels report that while they have been out there were only two occasions on which they sighted a whale, and then it was too rouch to lower a boat. TALKS ABOUT SUFFRAGE, Parior Meetings or Informal Conversations Are in High Favor. Miss Anthony and M:ss Hay Address a Large Gathering at the Hotel Wenban. A new feature in the woman suffrage work which has not yet received public notice, and which has none the less proved signally successful, is the series of informal parlor meetings recently inaugurated. There is something about these homelike gatherings which seems very attractive to the participants. No objectionable per- sons can be present, as the guests are all specially invited, and the prestige given the movement by means of this social apostolate in high circles is incalculable. Night before last one of these parlor meetings took place at the Hotel Wen- ban. The attendance was large and ap- preciative, and nearly filled the billiard- room, which had been magnificently deco- orated for the event. Mrs. Blitz made a most charming host- ess, seeing that all her guests were thor- oughly at home before the speech-making commenced. Miss Anthony made an im- promvtu address on the cause to which she has devoted over half a century of her ilife. The talk was interrupted by ques- tions and comments, being, in fact, a con- versation in which the gifted veteran suffragist took the iead. Miss Hay aiso spoke on the subject in ner usual convinec- ing style, her spirited replies to questious cailing forth many a burst of applause. “What a pity, though,” exclaimed Miss Anthony, casting her glance over the friendly faces which surrounded her, “‘you are all suffragists, or at least not anti-suffragists. What I want is a gather- ing of honest enemies in order to show them the fallacy of their position.’” By the way,”” observed a young society gentleman who was present, ‘‘what has become of the anti-suffragists? THE CALL gives them an occasional wipe, but no- body else seems to be aware of their ex- istence.” —————— Two Indictments Returned. The United States Grand Jury returned an indictment yesterday against Stephen Zadu, otherwise known as Stephen Roeaz, for send- ing obscene matter through the mails. Zadu challenged one Milo to fight a duel on the beach, the language employed being of a very abusive character. A secret indictment was also returned ageinst “John Doe,” who is charged with sen mf obscene matter through the mails to Miss Jennie Ryan, who is em- ployed in the office of Attoruey Firebaugh.

The Well-Known Schooner Olga That Went Ashore in on Her Way From Siberia to Japan to Load Jea for San Francisco. S e State That She Will Be a Jotal Loss. Amoor River a Few Weeks w . i—. She Was PAgo. Latest Reports DIED BEFORE HER FIRST APPEARANCE Flora Finlayson Found Dead in Her Apart- ments. APOPLEXY THE CAUSE. She Was to Have Played Last Night at the Tivoli in “Il Trovatore.” VOICE THAT TOUCHED HEARTS Has Played With the Bostonians and With the Lillian Russell Com- pany. Miss Flora Finlayson, the talented opera-singer, was found dead in her apart- ments at the Langham Hotel yesterday morning at about 10 o’clock. The cause of her death was attributed by the Coroner was going to the market. I senta boy up before to ask her if she would like a broiled chicken. He knocked, but ob- tained no answer. After Mr. Leaiy came down we, thinking something was wrong, entered the room and found her iying on the floor, dead. She had evidently died suddenlv in the night.” Flora Finlayson was born in Canada. She was one of the best known opera singers in the country. She went to Reno with her mother and from there went to Boston to be educated, Her voice at- tracted so much attention that Mr. Barnabee of the Bostonian Opera Com- pany engaged her the first time he heard her. She made a decided hit in that com- pany at once. : She was with the Bostonians for about three years. 5 7 Owing to the limited repertoire of that company she concluded she would have to strike out for new fields. She accor- dingly went with the Lillian Russell Com- pany and remained with it for two seasons. ‘Chis summer season she took an engage- ment with T. Henry French at the Ameri- can Theater, and her success was pro- nounced in repertoire work. Sheplayedin the great production of “Patience” at the Herald-square Theater, with Lillian Rus- sell, Harry Dixie, Joseph Shechan and other celebrated artists. She was selectea to plav the part of Lady Jane, and took New York by storm. ‘When the manager of the Tivoli arrived in New York she had about made up her mind to sign a contract with George E. Lederer, manager of the Casino Theater. There was, however, some disagreement over railroad fares, so she concluded to study at the Tivoli. She thought this would be of great advantage to her, there- | fore she accepted. She wired her folks to meet her at Reno. | They all met her there and visited with her only five minutes, this being the first time they had seen her since she had left for the East. She arrived here Friday morning and began her rehear<als with hexr teacher, Professor Cruells, to give her the tempos. Flora Finlayson, the Talented Opera.Singer; Who D'ed the Day Before Her First Appearance in This City. to apoplexy. She has, however, been suf- fering from heart disease for some time. She was to have played her first night at the Tivoli last evening in the part of Azucena in “Ti Trovatore.’’ Her music teacher and accompanist, Professor Emilio Cruells, was probably the last person that saw ber alive. He said yesterday: “I was in her room in the Langham Hotel yesterday evening at 7 o’clock sharp, pursuant to an engage- ment, but she told me that she was not well and begged to be excused from sing- ing her part, asking me to come in the morning. I came again this morning at about 10 o’clock and knocked at her aoor, but received no answer. Then Mr. Leahy, the business manager of the Tivoli, came, and, thinking something was wrong, we entered the room by a pass-key obtained. from the proprietor of the hotel. *“We found Miss Finlayson lying on the floor partiallv disrobed. She was lying near tne table of the front room. She was on her back and was evidently stricken while in the act of dressing. The as was lit in the room at the time. Since ast Friday, when she came to the City, 1 noticed that she held & smelling-bottle, I suppose it was camphor, frequently to her nostrils.”’ Manager Gallagher of the Hotel Lang- ham said: ‘*‘Miss Finlayson came here Friday last. Manager Leahy told me to keep her perfectly quiet. She geemed in very delicate health and was compiaining all the tirae. “I went up to her room this morning to see if she wanted some little dish, as I i Saturday the Professor went to the Lang- nam, but she was feeling ill. She was positive, bowever, that she conld take her part Monday. In the meanwhile, Beat- rice Holmes was engaged to take her part. Sunday she was to go to the Tivoli to meet George E. Lask for a business re- hearsal, but sent a letter stating she was sick. rofessor Cruells went to the Langham to see her at 4:30 o’clock in the afternoon. She sang, ani the professor was in raptures. He said her voice was divine, and that she would do superbly in her part. The last time the professor went has been stated. He found Miss Finlayson lying dead in the center of her room. Miss Finlayson leaves a mother, three sisters and a brother-in-law, Frank Lee, cashier of the Bank of Reno. San Francisco’s As: sment. Several days ago the Merchants’ Association. sent to the Board of Equalization a protest against the State board raising the assessment roll for San Francisco and requested a meeting for the discussion of the matter. Yesterday the association received & dispatch stating that the time for fixing the assessment had been extended as requested and that the board would meet the citizens’ committee on Wednes- day, September, 2d. 3 s SRy Cox Given Four Years.

A SCHEME THAT SIGNALLY FAILED The Charge Against Miss Ollie Wilson Dis- missed. SCENE IN THE COURT. Complaining Witness Percy Douglass in an Intoxicated . Condition. WOULD NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS In the Corridor He Attempted to Strike the Young Woman—Was Arrested for Drunkenness. The case of Ollie Wilson, charged with grand larceny on the complaint of Percy Douglass, a saloon-keeper from Bakers- field, was dismissed by Justice of the Peace Carroll, who presided in Juage Con-~ lan’s court yesterday. Douglass met Miss Wilson’s sister in Bakersfield and came to this City two weeks ago. Her parents, who live in Nelson, B. C., heard that they were here and her mother, sister and brother came here to induce the girl to come home. The were successful, and Moaday morn- ing Ollie Wilson and her sister took passage by the steamer City of Puebla. Douglass went to the whari before the steamer sailed, saw Miss Ollie there, and, with the object of detaining her till he could get trace of her sister, he called Policeman Crosby and charged Ollie with stealing $100 from him. She was arrested, but was released on her own recognizance by Judge Joachimsen. ‘When the case was called before Justice of the Peace Carroll, Douglass was placed on the witness-stand. It was at once seen that he was under the influence of lignor and was in a fighting humor. He refused to give a direct answer to any of Prose- cuting Attorney Mogan’s questions and would only say as a reason for having the young lady arrested that he wanted te show her what he could do. | Mogan got angry at him and moved that the case be dismissed owing to Douglass’ conduct and actions. The Judge at once dismissed the case and! Mogan advised Attorney Mack, who ap- peared for Miss Wilson, to swear to a complaint cnarging Douglass with per- jury. L glu Wilson left the courtroom with her brother and Douglass followed them. The spectators in the court, scenting trouble, crowded into ‘the corridor. Douglass made an attempt to strike the oung lady, but her brother interfered. ouglass then whipped hic hand behind his back evidently for bis revolver, but Detective Anthony had taken the precau- tion to search him before he went into court. Douglass was following Miss Wilson and her brother and threatening to wipe the whole Wilson family, Detective Anthony, the Jm‘%: and others off the face of the earth when Anthony collared him and took him to the City Prison, where he was booked for drunkenness. Before Douglass gets out of the prison the Wilson family will have left for their home in British Columbia. Douglass is an ex-convict. He was raised in this City, and while 1 the In- dustrial School he attacked the superin- tendent and got 100 days in the County Jail. Then He wentto Kern County and in 1878 was sentenced to two yvearsin San Quentin for manslaughter. Later he got eight years for shooting at a railroad con- ductor. He bears the reputaticn of being ready with his gun. Y SAYS MILLER IS BOGUS, Franklin Acknowledged That Captain Lees Was Right. General E. 8. Salomon, attorney for J. L. Franklin, takes exception to the atti- tude of Frank Miller, the butler recently arrested in Santa Barbara for seducing a minor child, According to the general Franklin and Captain Lees agree in con- demning Miller. General S8alomon says that he and Mr. Franklin are absolutely satisfied that Mil- ler enticed the alleged burglar to the house and then shot him. Mr. Franklin dis- charged Miller because neither he nor his family could tolerate his presence. Cap- tain says General Salomon, urged Mr. Franklin to keep the man in his house a little longer in order that the investiga- tion might be more thorough, but Mr. Franklin found it impossible to meet the man _who he was convinced was a ro; and discharged him, explaining his motive to Captain Lees. i General Salomon, as Mr. Franklin's at- torney, wishes to deny absolutely that the insinuation that Captain Lees ‘‘put the screws’’ on Franklin on account of his connection with a lottery has any truth in it, and in justice to Captain Lees wishes to acknowledge that he bimself and Mr. Franklin admitted to Captain Lees that J. L. his theory in ragard to Miller's imposture | was absolately correct. 5 THREE GOATS IN A CHURCH. Bethany Congregational Receives Strange Visitors. A HYMN-BOOK TASTED. “Billies” With Beards Freshly Combed First Ejected. Two MISS “NANNIE'S” WICKED ACTS. Rumor Says Dr. Tubbs Will Issue a Ukase Against Goits of Ec- ciesiastical Mind. It would seem as if the desire for reforma- tion has begun to pervade the goat family. At least, it doubtless so occurs to the Rev. Dr. Tubbs of Bethany Congregational Church. "~ Just as the reverend gentleman was about to invoke the divine blessing upon the services to be held in his chnrch last Sunday morning, and while the congrega- tion stood with bowed heads ready to re- ceive their pastor’sinvocation, two mem- bers of the goat family, commonly classi- fied as ‘“billies,” walked soberly up the steps that lead to the church door, and with dignified mien, withal of an aspect demure, marched sedately down the cen- tral aislg to the chancel. Those goats didn’t put on any airs at all. If they had been able to speak they would certainly have announced themseives as goats and not as ‘‘members of the caprid family. Even their knowledge of Clarke’s Com- mentaries and Watson’s “Apology” was limited to sueh information as can be acquired by a diet of tin cans and leathern footwear in the neighbors’ back yards, but those who used their eyes declare that those goats’ beards had been freshly combed for the occasion and they ex- pected to be well treated. Of course, the Rey. Dr. Tubbs was not | unwilling to give the church-going “bil- lies”” instruction in matters temporal, but he preferred to do so where no trouble couid arise on account of a mixesd congre- gation. 8o the seekers after reform lore were gently but firmly led forth from the house of God. Although they resented the indignity and seemed to feel deeply hurt at being denied the comforting words of the gospel, they showed their re- gard for the sacred edirice and the day, and departed without any threats of buti- ing the ejectors over on Monday. ardly had the sensation caused by the two goats’ arrival died out and the Rev. Dr, Tubbs begun his sermon when an- other member of the bearded tribe arrived. This time it was a solitary ‘‘nannie.” ‘Whether she came in search of biblical instruction or the two gentlemen that had preceded her is a mooted question. Any- way, she made known ner sense of loneli- ness at finding herself unprotected among strangers by a most pitiful moan, followed by a moutiiful out of a hymnbook on a near-by seat. This evidently satisfied her roving pro- pensiiies, for as the ushers came for her to lead her out into the green pastures she showed her ntter disregard for the sacred character of the day and at the same time a most rowdyish spirit by turning and running at full speed from the building. Latest accounts have it that Rev. Dr. NEW TO-DAY. Judge between Sckilling’s Best and other tea when you know both. No one will have a right to question your verdict then.
