TO BE GONE TWO MONTHS He Expects to Have Lots of Fun in Fishing and Hunting. ACCIDENT TO ALERT'S LAUNCH. While Taking Off the Captain She Ran on the Camanche’s Buoy and Sank. The fast yacht Ramona sailed for a cruise along the coast of Mexico last Thursday evening. Eugene McCarthy, brother of the owner, went out on her and as the craft is well supplied with guns and fishing tackle, be evidently intends having a good time. I'he Ramona 1is provisioned for a two months’ cruise, but should her commander decide upon a longer voyarge, fresh supplies will be taken aboard at some Central American port. Captain Fred Nelson and a crew of four men will man the yacht. There was a lively scene at Sausalito when the Ramona weighed anchor. Quite a number of the Pacific and San Francisco vacht lubs’ boats were at anchor in Rich- ardsons Bay and every one of them fired a salute as the trim little schooner disap- peared around the head of the bay. The unusual display drew quite a crowd to the water front, but when the news was given out everybody was satisfied tbat there was no fears of a foreign invasion. Captain Andferd and some of the crew of the United States sloop-of-war Alert had a narrow escape last Thursday night. The warship’s launch was sent to the foot of Folsom street to meet'the commander. That gentleman put in an appearance about 11 p. M., and a start was made for the Alert. The cockswain was not very conversant with the state of the tide, and in consequence ran the launch on the bnoy to which the monitor Camanche is moored. A hole was stove in the bow of the little boat, and she began to fill. Lines were thrown from the monitor, and she was secured in such a manner as to pre- vent sinking. Captain Andferd and his men were rowed to the Alert in one of the Camanche’s boats, and yesierday the 1aunch was raised and placed on Folsom- street wharf by the crew of the wrecker Whitelaw. The steam schooner Navarro got in from Crescent City yesterday. When off Point Reyes she picked up Ltwo of the boats of the wrecked steamer St. Paul and towed them into port. Goodall, Perkins & Co. are now trying to find out how the boats got adrift and now they came (o be off Point Reyes. The Harbor Commissioners met in exec- utive session yesterday ana discussed the building of a new wharf for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Manager Schwerin was present and said that the present facilities at the foot of Bryant street were not sufficient. Chief Engineer Holmes said there was not room for an- other whari near the present location. The Commissioners were of the opinion that the Mail Company was entitled to more accommodation, but just where to build itis a problem. Notning definite was arrived at, but ythe matter will be dis- cnssed again next Tuesday. The ferry clock was lighted last night, and it proved to be a great boon to trav- elers who happened to be on the late list. George Zammitt, a notorious sneak- thief, was arrested on the water front by Officer Charles Callahan yesterday. Tons of iron, wood and coal have been stolen during the last six months in small qnan- tities, and Detéctive Egan has been on the trail of the thieves for two months. mitt was suspected, but no proof could ever be got against him. Yesterday Cal- lahan saw him turning into-Mission, from East street, with a sack over his shoulder, and gave chase. Zammitt dropped the sackand ran. After running several blocks he dived into an alley and escaped. The sack contained scrap iron. An hour later Callahan heard that. Zammiit was in a shanty on Spear and Misston streets. He went there and caught his man in the acu of taking a morphine injection. He was booked at the Harbor Police station on a charge of grand larceny. John McCourt, chief officer of the Brit- ish ship Carradale, and Miss Annie Vint of Kolsom street were married yesterday at the home of the bride. Captain Smith of the Carradale was best man, but Cap- tain Latta of the Lauriston was the first to kiss the bride. Mr. McCourt and Miss Vint went to school together in Carrick- fergus, Ireland, and were sweethearts. When they met againin San Francisco a couple of months ago it did not take long to set the wedding day. The old stern-wheel steamer Frank Silva has been brought out of retirement, and will be turned into a gasoline schooner. Tanks will be put in the hold, and she witl carry oil from Ventura in conjunction with the George Loomis.

The bicyclists of San Francisco made a great demonstration at the Mechanics’ Exposition last night. ‘While it was originally intended as a mere friendly competition between the several ciubs and righ, W. H. J. Bishop, J. Banberger, S. A. New- man, M. Spire, B. Whorts, W. Higgins, G. Sachs, I. Frank, G. Ferguson. Alpha Cycling Club—Miss M. Mahoney, Miss Egeberg, Miss Lang. Mrs. H. F. Wynne, Miss R.

In addition to these clubs there were between 1500 and 1800 unattached riders in attendance. At 9 o'clock the gayl dressed bicyclists marched into the hall. The appearance was the signal for thun- dering applause from the assembled thousands, which was repeated from time to time during their grand march around the bandstand. Charles A. Adams, president of the evening, welcomed the wheelmen in the name of the Mechanics’ Institute and Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion. Congressman James G. Maguire, Julius Kahn und James H. Barry followed in brief addresses, during which they com- plimented the wheelmen on the fight they were making for good roads and their de- termination to force the Southern Pacific into line in the matter of free transporta- tion for bicycles. Fach speaker was roundly applauded, their remarks evi- dently being highly pleasine to the spec- tators as wellascyelists. The judges then awarded the prizes as follows: Best Ladies’ Bicycle Club in costume, Aipha Cycle Clup; lady wearing most attractive cos- tume, Mrs. Carrie Muller, seeond Mrs. Tilden; handsomest lady in costume, Mrs. Eilis.

Bicycle night was pre-eminently a success, and “is geunerally admitted to :"“’ been the event of the present exposi- ion. The programme for this afternoon and evening is puorely a musical one, and — unattached wheeimen, the affair assumed before it was half over a harmonious de- mand for good roads and an appeal to the public to stand by them in their struggle. Incidentally the attitude of the South- ern Pacific toward wheelmen was briefly referred to by the several speakers, with the result that a roar went up trom the assembled thousands urging all to protest at the ballot-box and elsewhere against such iniquitous acts as had been proposed by the railroad several days ago. Over 2000 devotees of the wheel at- tended the Pavilion last night. Nearly every club in the Ciiy was represented by one or more members, though only five entire clubs competed for the various prizes. The Imperial Cyeling Club made the best show in point of numbers, thongh the Barker Cycling Club carried off the honors for best general appearance.

While the bicyglists were generously treated by the assembled thousands last nigit, the spectators found plenty oi time to examine the different exhibits. One of the greatest attractions appeared to be the display of the Union Iron Works. Its chief charm probably is found in the fact that the entire establishment, from repair- shop to main building, 15 reproduced in miniature, the whole beautifully lighted by tiny electric lights. The bay shoreline is cleverly represented, as are also the cliffs in the background. On each side of the display miniature war vessels are to be seen, notzbly the S8an Francisco, Mon- terey and Oregon. There is no detail jack- ing in the entire exhibit. Military Baseball.

Police Sergeant Shea Stopped (ke Fellow From Making Her Swal- low a Bottle, The strangler scare has cropped up once more among the denizens of the half- world. These women were first startled some five months ago when one of their class was choked to death on Morton street near Stockton, in such a mysterious man- ner that the culprit has never been de- tected. Within a month, another woman, Berthe Paradis, at 33 St. Mary street was gagged and choked to death. These two crimes, the perpetrators of which are still at large and unknown, occurred just at the time two other murders and suicides were recorded on the demi-monde page at the morgue. The outcome of these tragedies resulted in Chief Crowley closing up Morton street and the driving of the women from that thoroughfare. Since the Paradis woman affair, thrze or four drunken men have been arrested while in the act of either beating or chok- ing women in their dingy dens on St. Mary or Quincy streets where they have taken up their quarters, and in each in- stance the cry has gone out that “the strangler” is still at his work. At 2 o’clock yesterday morning there was a loud shriek from one of the dens on Quincy place, No. 54. There was no one near at the time at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. but Angeline Auber, a French woman across the street, who promptly hunted up Serceant Patrick Shea and informed him of the noise she had heard and of her belief that Bernie Ward, who lived in the opposite den, was in trouble. he officer broke in the door when the occupants of the place refused him admis- sion, and in a back room a poweriul young man was found struggling with a girl, trying to force a bottle down her throat as she lay on the bed. The man proved to Louis Pionella, a baker working at 114 Union street, and he was placed in the tanks at the prison awaiting developments. Detective Ben Bohen and his assistants on the case were unable yesterday to con- nect Pionella with the past crimes of the strangler, and the only charge booked against him is that of battery. . The woman Angeline Auber has known the prisoner for three years. She had dismissed him after a misunder- standing on the silver question, and from the evidence gathered by the police the fellow had similart rouble with Miss Ward. In the latter case, however, the man be- came violent, and emphasized his argu- ment with a bottle, causing the woman to make loud outcries for nelp. SAW BROKEN BONES, Scientists Show Their Friends What the X Ray Does. Burns Bright as Noonday Sun and Comes From Ca’cium- carbide. Dr. Edward C. Jones, engineer of the San Francisco Gas Company, entertained the members of the Technical Society of the P acific Coast last night at the gas works, corner of Bay and Buchanan streets. Friends of the members were also present as invited guests. The even- ing was devotea to 2 lecture on the Roent- gen ray, illustrated by radiograph pictures and by the apparatus in operation. A par- ticular feature was the actual taking and development of a radiograph of a broken arm, young Frank Cunningham, a resi- dent of the neighborhood and a student of the Sherman Grammar School, willingly posing for the necessary twenty minates. During the exposure and the subsequent development of the plates in the dark- room the guests were shown through the different departments of the extensive works. Dr. Jones also exhibited the compara- tively new acetelene gas, which is made from a grayish-looking substance pro- duced by the fusion of lime and coal. This compound, calcium carbide, 1s rap- idly decomposed by water, and gas is given off. A small gasometer and con- necting pipes supplied with burners, per- mitted of a complete exhibition of the remarkably clear white light surpassing in whiteness, but not in disagreeable in- tensity, the brilliancy of the electric light. | After viewing the machinery and the scrupulously clean engine-rooms, ma- chinery-rooms and pressure-rooms, the guests returned through the garden lighted by Chinese lanterns and saw the developed plate. The radiograph showed that a small tip bad been broken off the boy’s ‘‘crazy bone.” That was the extent of the damage done to hisarm the day before while play- ing at school. The radiograph had been taken through clothing, uglints and flesh. | Each person present was then given an op- portunity to see the bones in his own hand by peering into a black box while holding nis hand on the outside of the wood and in front of the globe admitting the Roentgen rays. Among the hundred or more present were: George W. Dickie of the Union | Iron Works, president of the society; Colonel Mendell of the United States En- ineers, ex-president of the society ; Major | avis of the United States Engineers, Mr. | Sherwood, mechanical engineer; Mr. Leichter of the Pacific Rolling-mills, A. P. | Herrmann of San Jose, Professor George Davidson, Luther Wagner, mechanical en- gineer; Loven Hunt, instructor in en- gineering at Berkeley and A. J.
