The “Shire” line owns some of the hand- somest sailing vessels in the world, and of the many that have come to San Francisco the Ross-shire easily takes the palm. She isa handsome four-masted bark, and Cap- tain Baxter, her commander, is one of the most popular men in port. He has been a bartonshire, Kircudbrightshire, Clack- mannanshire and last of all the Ross- shire. The last is blest witha short name, which isanother thing in her favor. From Glasgow to San Krancisco the Ross-shire established the record of 105 days, and on | her last trip she made the run here from in 63 days, the smartest trip of the aeason. Last year the Ross-shire went from San Francisco to Sydney, N. 8. W., with a load of wheat. While in the latier port the cargo cavght fire and considerable dam- age was done. A couple of week: later Captain Baxter’s wife and children arrived from Scotland, and that in a measure compensated for the worry the captain hada %eeu put to by the fire. Captain Baxter is an artist of no mean merit, and a handsome oil painting of the Ross-shire made by him graces the cabin. He is also a good musician and an enthu- siast over bicycling. The vessel only got in a couple of daysavo, but the anchor had not been dropped an hour before the | captain had his *‘bike’” ashore, and was on | his way to the consignees. The British ship Lord Cairns, which ar- | rived from Swansea yesterday, made an | unusually long run for her. ‘‘Just fancy,”’ said Captain Davies, *‘I was 161 days get- ting here, and out of eighteen voyages I have made to San Francisco before I was never more than 130 days. Why, off the Horn there were twenty-one days that we never made a mile. It snowed, and 1t | bailed, and it blew, but it always blew in | the wrong direction. Then when we got | around into the Pacific, we had a succes- | sion of dead calms that lasted twenty-one | days more, until at last I began to despair of ever reaching port. 1 never had such a time of it in all my hfe before, and don’t want a second similar experience.” Cap- | tain Davies has probably made more con- secutive runs to San Francisco than any other n.aster in port. The flags along the water front yester- { day were all at half mast out of respect to the memory of Captain Frank J. Miller of the brig Lurline. e was taken ill with | pneumonia last week and diea quite sud- denly. Captain Miller was one of the most highly esteemed masters on the | water front, and his death cast a gloom ‘ over shipping circles. This was to have been his last voyage. In fact he wanted to retire last month, but the owners of the | Lurline persuaded him to make one more | trip. Years ago he was master of the | bark Annie Johnson, then he had the | schooner Hera and for years was on the brigantine Courtney Ford. He had been | a master for twenty-five years, and his | last illness was the only one that confined | him to the house for any length of time. The steerage passengers irom Canadaon the steamer Umatilla had good cause to growl at the immigration officers yester- day. The vessel gotin from Puget Sound ports at 10 A. M. ‘and three hours later the steerage immigrants were still aboard waiting for some one to pass on their cases. On June 17 last the British ship Dun- donald, from 8an Franeisco for Hull, was run down by the British steamer Santar- euse in latitude 15 degrees north, longi- tude 33 degrees west. The Dundonald reached Hull with nearly all her cargo of wheat. A short cable to the Merchants’ Exchange gave the news, but full particu- lars did not reach this City until yester- |day. In a private letter the writer say: “You have no doubt heard of the collision. It was an awful affair, and the only thing that saved us was the water-tight bulk- head. Had it given way all would have gone to Davy Jones’locker. Our whole bows were stove in, bowsprit all knocked over ‘to port, foretopmast gone a little above the cap, main topgallant royal and skysail mast and the crane of the fore lower topsail yard carriea away. ‘1 can tell you it was a complete wreck. All our jibs and foretopmast staysails were dragging alongside for days. After we were struck our forepeak filled and we all thought she was going down. Captain Girvin ordered the starboard lifeboat cleared away as the portside up to the masts was in the water, We were in the northeast trades, close hauled on the star- board tack and making not more than four knots. The steamer was going twelve and a half knots, 8o you can imagine what kind of a crack she gave us. The captain of the sieamer signaled that his vessel was sinking, so we took off all the women and children and afterward the crew. She had forty-seven passengers and fifty-one of a crew, and as the Dundonald carried thirty men all told, you can imagine what our decks looked like, Luckily a bark bound for Para, whither the steamer was going, hove in sight and took all the pas- sengers off our hands. We also sent the chief cook, steward and third mate. A few provisions were got out of the steamer by the bark and we got a few tons of coal. Then we all stood on deck and watched her go down. After that we got under way with our forepeak full of water and masts and sails banging over the side and made fair progress. ““We had seventy-seven hands aboard, and the provisions soon began to giveout. The last fortnight of the voyage we had to burn wheat for fuel, and all we had to eat was porridge made from wheat we ground up. It was lucky for us we had a load of your California product, or else we would have fared badly. When we arrived in Liverpool the S8antareuse’s crew landed and our ship was towed to Hull, where we are waiting for a court of inguiry.”” Since the above was written a telegram has been received bere stating that the captain of the Dundonald was exonerated from all” blame and tne captain of the steamer was censured. The Naval Reserve is going to Stockton in a body. The Camanche’s launch will tow up the captain’s gig. and the boats Mayflower and Boston will be towed up by the Millie. A great many excursion- ists went up on the J. D, Peters and Mary Garratt last mfi,n" but the center of at- straction was W. H. Thornley and his Alaskan bear.

Splendid Record of a Year’'s Work in the Institution at Yountviile, Napa County. + Through the courtesy of Secretary John J. Scoville of the Veterans’ Home Asso- ciation of California THE CALL has re- ceived the annual reports of the president and other officers of the association for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896. The several reports are neatly bound in a paper covered volume of sixty-six pages, and contain quite a fund -of matier which friends of the old soldier will find interesting. In the treasurer’s report receipts to the amount of $137,603 50 are noted, the dis- bursements during the year summing up $136,113 14, leaving on hand a balance of $1490 36. According to the secretary’s report the year opened with 517 inmates at the home at Yount- ville. During the year 275 new in- mates were received, 224 former inmates readmitted, 209 discharged at their own request, 91 discharged for non-compliance with rules and 36 for causes not specified, while 28 were dropped from the rolls for being absent over sixty days without leave, and 51 died, making all told a net gain of 84, raising the present membership to 601 Many expensive improvements have been made in the buildings and grounds, and no pains seem to have been spared to make the institution a “home” indeed to its deserving occupants. LETTER-CIRRERS CiS 1t Has Accrued for Extra Work and Must Now Be Paid in Full. Commissioner Lorenz Is Here to Settle the Claims of Three Hundred Persons. Henry L. Lorenz of Washington, D. C., Commissioner of the United States Court of Claims, is at the Ramona. He has come here to settle the claims of nearly 300 letter-carriers for overtime work. This work has been done in past years, dating, in some instances, as far back as 1888. In that ienr Sunset Cox succeeded in passing a bill through Congress, paying all carriers for work done over the regula- tion eight hours. Some of the carriers had been put by the “postmasters at clerical work and others at sorting mail. Their pay has ranzed usually from $600 to $1000 a year, and by Mr. Cox’s bill they are to be ailowad proportionate pay for the extra work. X Mr. Lorenz has been adjusting such claims for about three years, and has paid out about $2,000,000. e has traveled in California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and other States. On this visit he is accompanied by Clark McKercher, an attorney of Wash- ington, D. C., who represents a legal firm ‘having the cases of about 250 of the claim- ants. Of the 300 claimants in San Francisco for overtime work 260 have already filed their claims with Commissioner Lorenz. The Commissioner's home was formerly in Toledo, Okio, where for several years ?l: W;s a fl‘i‘d”l.) Inspector J. W. Erwin of e Postoffice Department is an old-: friend of Mr. Lorenz.

Shepherds Surrounded by Their Flocks Appear in the Foreground. LISTENING TO THE MESSENGER The Window Is in Memory of Mrs. S Tams and Wi/l Be Placed in a Transept. Trinity Church on Bush and Gough Rev. Mr. Walk, pastor of the church, is icfatuated with it, and many ot his flock, who have seen the window, are proud of it as a work of art in Trinity Church. The window—every inch of it—is of home manufacture, both in the artists’ work and the mechanical department, having been designed and made by Thomas C. Butterworth of this City. In dimen- sions it is five feet wide and twenty feet six inches high. The glass is exclusively of high-grade, antique quality and appa- rently handled with great care. Itsgen- eral ensemble is, to say the least, striking, and this includes the grouping, details, drawing and color scheme, all of which are highly spoken of by connoisseurs. The window represents a scene framed in pure Gothic lines of a golden hue. In the foreground are the shepherds inan attitude that shows they have just been disturbed from their quietavocation. One shades his eyes from the brilliancy of an approaching angel, while another leans on his staff and listens to the wonderful words of peace and good will. Their faces are full of reverence, mixed with awe. All :‘xbfiut them are their flocks grazing peace- ully. The angel apgears as a beautiful woman, soaring amid cherubs on the clouds and pointing toward Bethlehem, which is seen in shadows far off in the distance. And there shines the star over the stable, brighter and larger than those in the spangled firmament. In the architectural fmmingl; among the exquisite xagerihz finials higher up, are two angelic figures in postures of adoration. The whole is pitched in a subdued key of color, as the scene represents night, but the herald angel is radiant with light and loveliness, and this same light is reflected upon the shepherds’ faces, Malicious Mischief. John Buttler, a butcher at 233 Haight street, had Charles Rickoff, a mining engineer, ar- rested yesterday morning on a charge of ma- VL “THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE RN SHEPHERDS.” streets is to have a beautiful pictorial window in the southern transept, where one of the temporary plain windows is to be replaced by the “Announcement to the Shepherds.” And this artistic contribu- tion to the handsome Norman church is only the first of many of its kind. So that in very short time the whoie interior aspect of Trinity will have been changed by the introduction of stained glass windows, the gift of various mem- bers of the congregation. The graad window for the transept is now ready to be set 1 place, and will be erected immediately. Itis the gift of Mr. 8. Tams, an old member of Trinity Church, who has intended it as a memorial window in remembrance of his wife, Mrs. Carolina L. Tams, who died De- cember 20, 1891. Mrs. Tams was one of the best known ladies of San Francisco, and the first American woman born in Cali- fornia. The many ‘riends sheleft behind, particularly those in Trinity congregation, are deeply interested in the memorial. licious mischief. Beuttler said that Rickoff had been anioying him by throwing knives into the meat hanging in frontof his store. Rickoff is & respectable citizen and was very indignant_over his arrest. He denied the charge. He gave cash bail and was released. SRS £ 0 Ly Election Contracts Let. The Election Commissioners awarded con- tracts for different election supplies yesterday. Payot, Upham & Co. received the stationery contraet at $210, and the printing contract at $249 25, while the contract for furnishing chairs and lamps went to H. P, Terry at $5 50 for each booth. The matter of awarding the contract for building voting-stalls in the booths was left to the discretion of Registrar Hinton. e e Trunks Moved 25 Cents. Commercial Transfer Co., 43 Sutter street.

DECLINED TO SHOW RAILROAD-BOOKS Willcutt Denies the Com- missioners’ Juris- diction. THEY WILL ASK ADVICE. Possible Reduction of Streetcar Fares Thwarted at the Outset. IS THE BICYCLE BAGGAGE? The Board Ignored by Other Com- panies and Will Appeal to the Attorney-Geueral. Secretary Willcutt of the Market-street Railway Company did no¢ bring the cor- psration’s books with him as requested when he punctually appeared before the Board of Railroad Commissioners yester- day afternoon, but he brought the com- pany’s legal light, who very deliberately told the Commissioners that he did not think they had the jurisdiction to regu- late or reduce streetcar rates, and there- fore he would refuse on the part of the secretary to produce any of the records of what the car companies are making from the 5-cent fares. Then Attorney Walker dutifully took Secretary Willcutt by the hand, and the couple trotted as demurely and silently from the room as two little Sunday-school boys mindful of mamma’s admonition to deliver the message and come right back home. The Commissioners silently looked at one another until Dr. Stanton broke the threatening spell by declaring: *I regard this refusal as contempt, and we should punish it. We must take some action in this matter; either begin the investiga- tion or punish Secretary Willcutt”’ But Chairman La Rue poured oil ubon the troubled waters by suggesting that the Attorney-General be asked for an opinion on the matter of jurisdiction. The proposition of a reduction in raies originated with a request filed with the board by the Ashbury Heights Improve- ment Club, w ich asked for an investi- fialion of the earnings of the Market-street ailway Company and a 214 or 3 cent fare if conditions should warrant. During the mceting two other matters were brought up for an opinion by the Attorney-General. It seems that a ridicu- lously small percentage of the transporta- tion companies other than the steam r: roads has complied with the Commis- sioners’ request for reports. Then the board would like to know if it has the power to declare bicycles to be baggage. The Attorney-General must settle these questions. The Commissioners instructed their sec- retary to request the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to submit a report of all the changes in the schedule of rates NEW TO-DAY.
