The crews of the tug Fearless and Ha- waiian ship John Ena had an exciting experience during the tow down from Mare Island. When opposite Pinole tension of ninety days on its contract for the ironwork on the depot. It was pointed out that the company was delayed owing to-a clerical error in the plans, but the Commissioners decided the delay would not reach ninety days and laid the matter over for consideration. Oscar Lewis and Mahoney Bros., bonds- men for the late A.Page Brown, asked that the matter of rectifying the error in the plans go over until to-morrow. They wanted to make the best possible terms with the Risdon Iron Works in order to protect Mrs. Brown. “If we can’t get the work doneat a rezsonable fignre,’” said Mr. Mahoney, “we will do it ourselves.” The matter was laid over as desired. The contract for supplying lumber to the commission for the next six months was let to the Slade Lumber Company at $13 a thousand. The price paid forthe last six months was $11 a thousand. Architect Swain’s specifications for the painting and vriming on the ironwork of the depot was not accepted. The Com- missicners thought the figures too high and returned them to the archbitect for re- vision. Henry Peterson’s launch, the Amy, did a big job for a small boat yesterday. She towed 130 piles from Folsom-street whart to the Second-street bridge. Over $30,000 in coin was taken out to the line-of-battle-ship Oregon yesterday, A corporal’s guard took care of it until the money was safely aboard. Before being placed in the launch it was all putintoa big sack and sealed up. A longrope was then attached to it and at the other end of the rope was a buoy. This was done in order to locate the sack 1n the event of the launch capsizing. The tug Vigilant took out a large party on a fishing excursion last Sunday. Over & ton of fish was taken, and everybody so thoroughly enjoyed themselves that the trip will be repeated on the 12th inst. Captain Clem Randall knows every fish- ing-ground outside the heads, and any party that he takes out may rest assured of plenty of sport. The Tug Fearless and Ship John Ena Were Passing Piniole Point Yes- terday When the California Powder Works Blew Up. The Concussion Almost Stopped the Tug, and the Ship Heeled Over as Though in a Heavy Gale. Point the California Powder Works blew up. For an instant the powerful towboat quivered and almost came to a standstill while the big ship heeled over from the force of the concussion. Shortly after- ward there was a second explosion and then a number of slighter detonations fol- lowed. *I newer saw anything like it in all my life,” said Captain Dan Haskell of the tug Fearless. “The explosion was terrific in its force and the flame shot a hundred feet into the air. Then the smoke and vapor spread out until it looked like a gigantic umbrells, the handle being the thin col- umn of smoke that connected the earth with the covering. The second explosion was not as bad as the first, and it seemed to spread right from the ground. Imme- diately afterward there was a third, and then we heard several light ones as we steamed along. By the aid of glasses I saw a_number of houses in ruins, and I guessed from that that the loss of life would be considerable.”” The John Ena is one of the handsomest ships in port to-day. She is named after a well-known Hawaiian planter and is owned principally in Honolulu and San Francisco. TEe shares were placed at $90 each and in consequence there are more people interested in the vessel than in any other that comes to this port. She will dock at the seawall to-day and will take in stiffening for Puget Sound. At Tacoma ahe"will load lumber for Port Piri, in Aus- tralia. The bark Theobald sails to-day for Coal Bay, Alaska. She will take up twenty miners to reinforce the gang already there and the vessel will bring back about 2000 tonsof the black diamonds. This will be the second trip of the bark to the mines. On the last occasion she brought down 800 tons of coal and it proved of such quality and sold so readily that the owners have determined to develop the property. Over 120,000 tons of coul will be sold in Alaska this year. All the canneries and Govern- ment vessels, the Treadwell mines and the mines of the Alaska Commercial Com- any will be supplied and bitka and ?nnun will be regular customers. Captain Swan of the Theobald, who is well in- formed about Coal Bay and its vicinity, says the mine is one of the most promis- ing in Alaska. ‘Ehe steamer Jennie got back from Cocks Inlet yesterday. Captain Esser says that there are over 3000 miners on the beach and that nearly all are destitute. The only vessel to return from the Inlet before win- ter is the Dora and she has only accommo- dations for 150, If help is not sent before winter sets in Captain Esser says the suf- ferings of the miners will be awiul and the deaths many. All the salmon fleet had got away when the Jennie left. The last to get away was ‘the Prussia and she had 35,000 cases aboard. The Occidental and Oriental Company’s Gaelic, that went ashore on the coast of Japan, has been docked at Nagasaki and ins Several of her plates are broken and the frames bent. It will take considerable time to repair her. The Hatbor Commissioners decided yes- terday to light the clock in the new post- office at the foot of Market street. Chief Hngineer Holmes told the board that as soon as it was ascertained what the post- office officials wanted in the shape of light- ing the necessary steps would be taken. A light in the clock tower will be a great boon to people who have to catch the late boats. 0 ‘The Risdon Iron Works asked for an ex- NO HOPE FOR DINGLE. The Manufacturers’ Association Will Not Relent in the Least. The board of directors of the Manufac- turers’ and Producers’ Association met yestreday. The embezzlement of the asso- ciation’s funds by Assistant Secretary Fred H. Dingle was discussed and the ex- pert accountant reported that the total amount stolen was $899 45. Dingle’s mother asked the directors not to press the charge against her son, whose case comes up in the Police Court for examina- tion to-day. _After she had retired the directors de- cided not to interfere with the course of justice, but let the officers of the law pros- ecute Dingle the same as any other crim- inal. At present there are two charges against Dingle,felonoius and misdemeanor embezzlement. The directors further decided that they will make good the shortage pro rata in monthly installments until the expiration of their terms of office, by which time the money will all be made up. A communication was received from the National Association of Letter-carriers ask- ing the indorsement of the association 1n the movement toward the bolding of the next convention in S8an Francisco in 1897, The indorsement was freely given. The board decided to take precautions against any further loss by its employes, -lndx‘ retglutifin L'“hp“!ed that the bill clerk and collector hereafter b under $1000 bonds. By —————— ONE YEAR OLD TO-DAY. The Oafe Zinkand Will Celebrate Its First Anniversary. Tt is just a yearago to-day that the Cafe Zinkand first threw its doors open to the pubiic. . The career of the establishment since that date has been one of continued success, and it is the intention of the pro- prietor to make to-day a remarkable oc- casion to the patrons of the house. To this end ngmut elaborate bill of fare has been prepared, and those who are fortunate enough to visit the house to-day will find a menu to choose from that in variety cannot be excelled anywhere in the land. During the year that the house has been catering to the people of San Francisco it has enjoyed a patronage seldom accorded to any establishment of the kind. Its patrons have been served well, the bill of fure always includes every delicacy in the market, while in the matter of wines no restaurant, even in the great cities of Europe, can offer a greater variety of the choicest vintages known in the worla. To-day’s menu, while elaborate, will only go to sihow the abilitv of the pro- prietor to furnish a meal fit for an im- verial household, and it will serve to in- spire on the part of the visitors to the house to-day a desire to become perm: nent patrons of a cafe where the most tempting and toothsome viands can ever be had, cooked and served in regal style. —————— Goodspeed Will Contest. An amended contest to tha probate of the wili of Luey C. Goodspeed was filed yesterday.

MANY EAGER TO LEARN The Mystery of Mental Sugges- tion Applied to Thera- peutics. JCURNEYS IN THE MIND. A Boy in Stockton Who Saw a Woman in Joliet Writing a Letter. “The Hypnoticand Mesmeric Institute’ is the latest thing in San Francisco educa- tional circles. It is conducted by J. B. Earley and E. J. Pause, professors of the hypnotic art, and has been open for the reception of pupils less than two weeks. That the interest in the mystery of mes- merism and hypnotism is very general is manifested by the great number who daily knock at the doors of the institute. Professor Earley is a pupil of Professor Bernheim, acknowledged to be the head and front of scientific hypnotism. With Mr. Pause, he has traveled over a large part of this country to finally locate per- manently in tbis City. “The purpose of the institute,” said Mr, Pause yesterday, ‘‘is to teach hypnotism on scientific lines for scientific uses. Our pupils everywhere have come from the ranks of physicians, dentists and minis- ters, for it is to that class alone that our methods appeal. “Ministers? Oh, ves; the better the hypnotist the more successful the preacher. Successful preaching®is hypnotism. The Salvation Army works through the agency of hypnotism, though its soldiers may not know or realize it. Over at Beulah Park we have recent reports of how men and women were actually thrown into the cataleptic state, standing with arms ex- tended for hours, just as is done with the subjects of exhibition hypnotists on the stage. The successful salesman is a hyp- notist in a small way. You ask him for a piece of blue cloth, and, having no blue, he makes you believe you want brown. You get home, away from his influence, and you wonder how you were persuaded. “It is not fashionable any more not to beleive in hypnotism. Its wonders are of too common knowledge. Men of science recognize its uses and employ it more and more. [ do not believe that men should be permitted to practice hypno- tism indiscriminately—on the stage for in- stance. It should be limited to thera- peutic purposes. “Do I know what hypnotism is? No- body knows that. We know how it is produced and something of its effects; we do not know what it is any more than Mr. Edison knows what electricity is. “There are a good many false notions abroad concerning hypnotism,” continued Mr. Pause. “In the first place it isan error to suppose that to be hppnotized is a sign of weakness mentally. The contrary is trune. To be sure, a man of strong will can successfully resist the influence if he desires. In fact, persons cannot be hyp- notized against their will. They must at least be negative to the influence if the; do not assent. But, on the other hand. an insane or even a feeble-minded person is most difficult to influence. It is neces- sary to gain the attention of the subject for the best and quickest results. ‘*At Stockton recently we experimented considerably in the insane asylum. Many of the attempts upon the insane were fruitless. One young girl, a victim of epi- lepsy, was brought under the influence only with great difficulty, but after sev- eral treatments her trouble was much re- lieved. She had bad an average of ten fitsa day. When we left there she had but one a day. No, a healthy person lends himself to the influence more readily than a sick one; an intelligerxt mind more read- ily than a weak one. Professor Wilson at 8ants Cruz submitted himse!f to a test and fell under the influence instantly. “The different stages or states of hypno- tism? Well, there is first merely the lethargic state in which the brain is more or less conscious. Then there is the cata- leptic, where the muscles of the subject become rigid. Then there is the active somnambulistic state in which mental suggestion is followed. Itis in this state that the surgeon may do his work with no pain to the subject. The practitioner says to the subject, for instance, ‘Youare now enjoying the luxury of a Turkish bath.’ He may then cut the subject’'s leg off while he, the mbj’;cl, is feeling the pleas- ure of his bath. Then there is the clair- voyant state in which the mind does won- derful and mysterious feats. You may be a skeptic in the matter of clairvoyancy. So once was I. I have a letter just now from a physician in Stockton, a ‘pupil of ours, who tells that through the clairvoy- ant power he has learned things of great value to him. s “An 1ncident of his instruction will illustrate the power. We threw a little newsboy into the clairvoyant state in our rooms in this doctor’s_presence and told him to make a test. e said to the boy, ‘I want you to 5%'"“’ me to my old home in Joliet, IIL! ery well,” said the boy; ‘I'm there.” The doctor asked him to Je- scribe the place, and he did perfectly. Then the doctor said: ‘Let us go into the house. What do you see there? The boy described his family and said, ‘Your sister is sitting at a table writing a letter to you.’ ‘Can you see what she is writ- ing?’ The boy read the letter so far as it was written. Five days afterward the let- ter came to hand with the message as the boy had read it. Such evidences of this strange power is quite common to practi- tioners. ““We had a small boy in the clairvoyant state here in the office the other evening. He led us, according to suggestion, to many places. Finally we landed him —by suggesiion of course—on Market street, at the corner of Third. I told him to look up at the clock in the Chronicle building and tell us what time it was. ‘It is 28 minutes of 9,” he said. We looked from our window and saw that he had seen cor- rectly. Ne, as I have said, Lcannot un- dertake to explain it? 1 know nothing of the cause of the phenomenon—I do not know. I only know the results that we gained, not how they were gained. Em- ployed for good, hypnotism is a greau boon in many ways, especially in surgery and dentistry. he persons coming out of a hpnotic sieep find themselves re- freshed more than from the natural sleep. During that sleep they may have had their teeth plugged or their legs sawed off.” FATHER YORKE TO LFCTURE In Ajd of the Sacred Heart Presenta- tion Convent. i To-morrow evening Rev. Father P. C. Yorke will lecture on ‘‘Where Did We Get the Bible From?” for the benefit of the Sacred Heart Presentation Convent, on the corner of Ellis and Taylor streets.

DOCKERY USED HIS GUN A Refractory Milk-Wagon Driver Is Halted by a Bullet. Twenty-Three Cans of Impure Milk Dumped in the Gutfer by the Inspector. Kor the second time since he received his appointment Milk Inspector Dockery had to use his pistol on a refractory milk- man yesterday morning and send a sing- ing bullet after a wagon that would not halt. During the small hours of the morning Dockery took his stand at Eight- eenth and Mission streets and held up a number of wagons that were on their way to the City to deliver the early morning milk. He was assisted by Market Inspector Ben Davis and Inspectors Hanlon and Harrigan, and within a short time a balf dozen drivers were standing about with anxious faces while Dockery applied the tests that would either condemn the fiuid to being dumped into the street or prove it sufficiently pure to be served to customers. While the process was going on Julius Buhm, who drives for Mrs. T. Bauer, came by with his load and was hailed by the Milk Inspector and told to et into line. Instead of complying he whipped up his horses and started down the street ata rattling pace. Again and again he was called uson to halt, but he paid no atten- tion, and then Dockery made a gun play. A bullet went uncomfortably close to Buhm'’s head and his pace slackened, but he had gone a block before overtaken by the inspector and compelled so return. When an inspection of the milkin his wagon was made the reason for his haste was apparent. Not oneof the twenty-three cans contained milk that would stand the test, and he was driven to the City Prison and locked up on a charge of bringinginto the City impure milk. Later his milk was dumped into the street to help flush the sewers. The milk in all the other wagons examined was found to be pure enough to stand the test. KEPT THE SHOES. D. C. James Draws a Revolver on a Storekeeper and Gets Arrested. D. C. James, a picture-peddler, was ar- rested last evening by Officers T. L. Ryan and E. 0’Day and detained at the Southern police station on a double charge of robbery ana carrying a concealed weapon. James entered Mark Cohen’s shoe store, corner of Third and Howard streets, at 6 p. M. for the purpose of getting a pair of shoes he had left the day before to be repaired. e was handed the shoes and was about 1o leave the piace when Cohen informed him that he bad neglected to pay for the repairing. James refused tobpay, and when Cohen and his assistant procceeded to recover the shoes James vulled a re- yolver, and covering the storexeeper, backed out of the building and walked away. Officers Ryvan and 0’Day were notified, and after a short search located James and placed him under arrest. —_————— Temporary Transfer Privileges.

Campbell, the Ha- waiian millionaire, was secured yesterday and with little difficulty. The taking or testimony will begin this morning. For some unexplained reason the crowd of sensation-lovers that usually frequents prominent criminal trials was absent from Judge Wallace's courtroom. Another thing which surprised the court officials was the lack of feeling against the ac- cused evidenced by the talesmen.

VYou can’t begin, too soon, to take the great blood purifier, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. throughout the labor of securing the jury paid close attention to the proceedings. The defense was very careful in the se- lection of jurymen and went into the mat- ter of the religious views of the talesmen before it would pass any one. District At- torney Barnes objected to this, but Bell sprang a Supreme Court decision on him, and Judge Wallace overruled the objec- tion. Winthrop’s connection with the American Protective Association is the cause of the anxiety of the defense on re- ligious matters. District Attorney Barnes opened pro- ceedings by presenting a statement of the alleged robbery of Campbell and the at- tempt to extort from him an order on his wife for a large sum of money. Afterthat ébe work of securing the jury lasted until P. M. The jurors acceptable to both sides are: E. P. Bjovall, R{:bert McMillan, E. L. Culsen, « F. Fogg, E. C. Denvigan, John A. Clover, M.
