CAPTAIN HOLLAND DROWNED AT SEA Knocked Overboard During a Gale by the Main Sheet. SCHOONER BACK IN PORT Superintendent Tabrette of the Risdon Iron Works Takes a Slide. ARRIVAL OF THE AUSTRALIA. Two Invalids Came Up on Her From the Hawaiian Islands for Treatment. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Aus- tralia arrived from Honolulu yesterday with the following passengers: M. V. Andrews, A. F. Alvarez, Miss Martha Beckwith. Miss Bolton, Miss Boyer, Hon. H. P. Baldwin, Dr. W. R. Cochrane and ‘wife, Mrs. Carroll, Miss Carroll, Miss G. Carroll, Captain J. C. Cluney, Robert Catton, Captain D’Al 8. H. Davis, W. P. Eichbaum, Miss Kate . Eleanor Graham and two children, Herbert, wife and two children, T. E. Hobron, A. Horner, Miss M. L. Kil- ner, Edgar Lewis, John Landers; George Mac farlane, wife and child; B. T. McCulloch, W F. McMillan, J. T. McGrew, A. Moore, W. G. Ogg and wife, Rev. 8 8 Palmer, Mrs. Renjes and child, Miss Leslie Wight. W. Whitney, Miss A. R. Whitney, H. F. Wichman, W. R. Whittier, A. B. Wood, F. Weber, E. C. Winston, A. Young, Captain E. Rice, Mrs. C. L. Wight, ‘Wilder Wight, Captain McPhail, wife and four children. Two invalids were among those on board, and twice did the ambulance make a voyage to the vessel. On the first occa- sion Mrs. Eleanor Graham was taken away ina private ambulance. While on one of the inter-island steamers she made a misstep and, falling over a chair, 1n- jured her spine. Physicians at Honolulu recommended her removal to San Fran- cisco for treatment. Two doctors were at the steamer to meet the invalid and she was given the best of care. Late in the-afternoon another ambu- lance put in an appearance on the wharf. Thistime it was Boatswain “Tom’ Rhodes who was carried off the steamer. Itcame from the United States Marine Hospital and a number of the crew carried the stretcher on which the injured man lay rom the ship to the ambulance. There was not- the same ceremony as in the case of the wealthy cabin passenger, but Boatswain Tom was as carefully handled as any injured man who ever lefta ship. Chief Officer Lawless looked after all the details. The accident to Boatswain Rhodes hap- pened 1n Honolulu. He was working around the winch and his right foot got caught in the machinery, crushing the ankle. It will be months before he will be able to be about again. J. W. Smith, second engineer of the Australia, was treated to a surprise when the vessel reached Honolulu. He found a bouncing baby eirl two days old and his wife wel?nnd hearty awaiting him. The }itfle one is to be christened Ethel Austra- ia. X H. C. Tabrette, marine superintendent of the Risdon Iron Works, had an experience last night into which he intends initiating every friemd of his on the Pacific. Chief Engineer Little of the Alameda showed him last Tuesday night the home of the sliding stairs, the electric button, the easy chair and the living pictures. By the time Tabrette and Little had bumped down two flights of stairs, had been intro- duced to the electric needle and had the wall of living pictures fall on them the former thought it was time to go home. Yesterday Tabrette did the water front in & baggy, but nevertheless insistea that he was well and hearty. He denies emphat- ically that he ate with relish a sandwich made with soap substituted for cheese. In spite of the fact that their schooner has been seized and is now in the hands of the United States Marshal the South San Francisco Packing Company yesterday paid off the hunters aad sailorsinfull. A. P. Lorentzen, the agent, did not want to pay the men their money until the case was decided in_the United States courts, but President Nonnenmann thought dif- ferently. The Jane Gray took 451 skins off the Japan coast and 257 in the Bering Sea. The captain, owners and crew assert that revenue officers say they wers taken with guns against the law. The men were nearly all on a “lay,” that is, their pay would be so much on each skin taken. President Nonnenmann set the value of all the shins tuken at $8 each and much to their surprise the men were paid on that valuation. Nearly all the skins have been shipped to England. 5 The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Yaquina had a narrow escape on her trip from Puget Sound to San Francisco. She was niue days getting here, and some anxiety was felt on her account. Itnow transpires that a leak caused all the trou- ble. Atone time it was thought the Ya- quina was finking, and the ts were swung out in readiness for launching. The men had their belongings packed, and the steamer was run inshore. After jettisoning some of the coal cargo the leak was overcome, and a fresh start was made for this port. The new steamer for the Humboldt Bay Steamship Company is rapidly nearing completion. Bendixsen is rushing the work and at the same time making an ex- cellent job of it. When launched it is asserted by experts in Eureka that the new craft will be one of the handsomest and best equipped on the coast. 8he will be towed to San Francisco, and her ma- chinery will be put in by the Fulton Iron Works. She will probably be launched about the middle o!pnext month, and will bave her trial trip early in November. ‘I'wo schooners put back last night and both reported heavy weather and disaster. On the 7th inst. the Norman Sunde was caught in a gale and had her rudder-head breke. She had to make port again un- der great difficulties. Repairs will be made and another start for the codfishing banks mad-. On the 16th inst. Captain Holland of the Ivy lost his life. 1t hapvened at 9:30 A. . and the schooner was twenty-eight miles southwest of the Farallones. A strong northwest gale was blowing and the fair lead of the main sheet carried away. Captain Holland was struck by the sail and went overboard. A heavy sea was running, but nevertheless a boat was lowered and search made. Notrace of the master could be found, so Mate MeDon- ald brought the Ivi back to port. Captain Holland was well known in nautical cir- cles, having come to this port from Aus- tralia several years ago. Among the arrivals yesterday were the Dunfion in ballast from Victoria, B. C., and the Sehiller from Dunkirk. Both vessels arz chartered to load wheat. MARIA KIP ORPHANAGE. The New Building Will Be Finished by the First of the Year. Keating & Leonard, contractors for the erection of the Maria Kip orphanage in the Richmond district, have the founda- the latter were taken with spears, but the | tion for the three-story building down and will push the construction so that it will be handed over to the directors by the first of January, 1897. The foundation is of concrete and the stiucture will be of brick, with stone fac- ings, and when finished will be an orna- ment to the Richmond district. The buiid- ing proper will contain sixty rooms, with a Jarge-sized lot on the north for a recrea- tion grounds for the children. Tbe entire property purchased for the orphanage is 700 feet in frontage on Sey- enth avenue by 100 feet on Sacramento street, 175 feet of which will be covered by the building. The remaining portion will be beautified and made into a pleasure ground for the inhabitants. The *Little Jim” annex to the Chil- dren’s Hospital, the giit of Mrs, Hearst, is nearing its completion and will have the roof on in the course of a few weeks. On the whole, Richmond is in the van of gen- eral improvements with bright prospects. OLYMPIC DIRECTORS. Installation of the New Board of Offi- | cers—: xpenses Will Be Re- duced. The newly elected directors of the Olympic Club were installed last evening in the presence of about one hundred members. George E. Newhall, the president-elect, said tbat he did not spprove of the propo- sition to assess the members so tnat the club could have sufficient money on hand to defray the expenses which will be at- | tached to several contemplated improve- ments in the building which ars very necessary. Mr. Newhall thought that by reducing the running expenses of the club sufficient money will soon be on hand to cover whatever expenses may be incurred in | improving the bathing depertment, etc. | Itis thought that the salaries of the employes will be reduced and that the services of the careiaker of the outdoor grounds will be dispensed with. Among others who spoke on the past and future of the club were F. Eaton, the | ex-president; H. B, Russ, H. P. Taylor, C. P. Morse, F. McLennan and Joseph Kelly. It was stated that Frank Vail, who was one of the newly elected officers, handed in his resignation yesterday. The directors appointed several com- mittees last evening while in session. THE THAD MMIVERSAR Council No. 1 of the A. P. A. Has a Celebration of Organization. Addresses Were Made to a Large Audience, and There Were Other Exercises. ‘The third anniversary of the orsaniza- tion of Council No. 1 of the American Pro- tective Association was celebrated last Tuesday evening at Metropolitan Hall, when a mass-meeting was held. The at- tendance was large. All over the auditorium the National flag was displayed. The rostrum was handsomely and appropriatelv aecorated. President Washburn of Council No. 1 pre- sided. “Father Yorke says that the A. P. A. are all dead,” remarked Mr.Washburn, ‘“‘but this.gathering does not look much like it. I wish that Father Yorke were here to-night to see this assemblage of American citizens. In three years this organization, beginning with a small nu- cleus, has grown to a membership of 50,000 members in California and of these 20,000 are in this City. We will prove that we are very much alive before the election 1s over.'” The address of the evening was made by State President B. F. Hudelson. He called attention to the fact that Council No.1 was the first organization of the order to be formed west of the Rocky Mountains. Every State and Territory west of the Rocky Mountains has been or- ganized thoroughly with local ccuncils during the past three years. The A. P. A., he said, was a political body representing everything that is pure and right. It stands for liberty and will some day re- ceive the credit’ of having saved the Nation. After some discussion of recent ad- dresses by Archbishop Riordan and Father Yorke, President Hudelson spoke of the attitude of the Catholic church toward parochial schools, as indicated by press dispatches from St. Louis. Then he said: “‘Our public schools are the pride of our Nation, the buiwark of our republic, and the American Protective Association does not propose to keep silent on this question. Our Catholic friends pretend to believe in the public schools and expect us to believe that they do because they pay their taxes. But the truth is they have to pay their taxes to save their property from being sold by the Sheriff. The fact that they believe their own school system is para- mount to ours is sufficient evidence for us to believe that they would supplant theirs forours if they could do so. go we are not surprised to find their clergy legislating against our schools. “The American Protective Association stands for all that is grand, pure, true, elevating, enlightening and helptul in American politics. We do not claim to be infallible—the best of us will make mis- takes—but our organization aims to keep its ranks free from all contagion. I just want to add this: That you will never settle this great labor problem and the other questions that are agitating the Na- tion until a law is passed stopping this indiscriminate immigration that is dealing deathlize blows to the Nation. The American Protective Association first sounded the danger alarm to the Nation on this question.” Addresses we also made by Major Ryan of Ohio, Captain_A. F. Spear, H. V’;C. 8 Mrs. M. A. Richardsou, State ent of the Women’s American Fro- tective Association. Miss Bybil Campbell, Miss Boyd, Professor J. C. Darnell of Oak- land and Miss Warner took part in a mis- cellaneous programme of exercises. ———————— Hard On Smokers. General Wevler's decree stopping the exportation of tobacco suitable for wrap- pers compelled American cigar manu- facturers to use the dark Havana wrap- pers heretofore discarded. Dark cigars, as every physician knows, contain as much as 10 rn cent nicotine poison, caus- ing that feeling of nervousness and nausea paralysis. A smoker using twenty mild cigars will not be alfected thereby as much as if smoking one strong cigar. A mild cigar—brand, Half-Million Club—is now on sale in every cigar place. Sold for 10 untx.lt is as fine a cigar as the best Hi filler and band workmanship can make it; very mild, agreeable and sweet as a nut. Try the Hali-Million Club cigar. Manufactured by H. C.

Julia Scott O’Brien, who was divorced from Micheel O'Brien in July, 1895, and awarded $60 per month alimony and $400 counsel fees, has sued her ex-husband for $1185, claimed to be due for unpaid alimony. O’Brien is alleged to be the owner of some property at Fifteeuth and Noe streets which stands in the name of Julia Latimer, alias Julia Swansen, and Mrs. O'Brien seeks to have the title so fixed that she may levy on it to get the money said to be due. ——————— OLp Dutch, bog, Japanese, gray and English oaks, plain mat gilts, white and goid, Spanish cedar, curly redwood and raw chestnuts are the proper things in picture frames.

EASTERN HORSES COMING. The New and Beautiful C'ub House Will Be Thrown Open for the First Time. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club will begin its second annual meeting at Ingleside on the afternoon of October 28, and there is every indication in the reports received by Secretary Leake from suck turfmen as Ullman, Schreiber, Rees and Corrigan that it will be the greatest race meet ever seen in this State and beyond a guestion the biggest winter meeting ever held in tke United States. Nothing has been spared to-make Ingle- / / 7 LIt A / Presilent/A. By Stecckel. side track an ideal one, not only for rac- ing but for beauty, and it is to-day not only a perfect garden spot, shaded by palms and outlined with shrubbery, but it is beyond doubt the best winter track in the world. A picturesque driveway, bordered by tall and pungent-smelling eucalyptus trees, leads from the Ingleside Inn to the grand stand and clubhouse, the latter a structure after the old mission style, with a Venetian architectural effect. The simple and powerful arcades of the ground floor, with its arched openings and ample abutments, are in a measure contrasted by the wide and spacious porches and balconies of the first and sec- ond floors topped in belvedere fashion. Lo obtain a picturesque skyline the cen- tral portion of the building rises one story higher above the belvederes of the east and west porches aud iscrowned by a large projecting cornice. The Sganish tile roof of this central feature adds to the entire impression of simplicity. The biconies of the first floor and the large arched ovening of the second floor gives the composition the Venetian effect and makes the clubhouse a picturesque object from any point of view. The building is Jocated 154 feet west of the grand stand and is connected with-it by a two-story colonade, which will be continued west of the clubhouse to form a vonnection with the railroad station. The building has a frontage of 95x¢5 feet. Its foundation is of concrete and the upper stracture of wood, plastered on the out- side on galvanized iron-wire laths to give the building the finish of the old mission architecture, The ground floor has storerooms in the rear and open arcades in fiont, forming the passage from the railroad station to the grand stand. The main entrance steps to the building are located on the southeast corner and connected with the portecochere, which is elaborately con- structed with large columns and Spanish tile roof. These steps lead to a fourteen- foot-wide roomy porch, which extend: along the entire south and east fronts, giving a magunificent view of the entite track. This porch and the corresponding one above on the second floor will not be thbe least of the club’s attractions during the racing season. The porch is easily accessible from within by larze double swinging doors from the halls and lobby. The general sitting-room has a frontage of 34 feet, facing the track, by 20 feet deep, all finished in wood, with wainscoting, &l,cturo-molding. cornices and large brick eplace 9 feet wide, .mngad t0 receive a large log fire. To the right of the lobb; is a parlor 14 feet square and to the left the office, 14 by 20 feet, with bay- window and connecting private rooms, all facing the track, with a magnificent view of the ocearn. # The eclub bar is 14 by 22feet, and con- nects with a lobby at the rear, having in close connection store and serving rooms, with dumb waiter and service stairs. A toilet-room is conveniently lccated. All the rooms open into the central hall. A wide stairway leads to the second story, which is reserved for ladies. A 14-foot wide porch aiong the entire south and east front corresponds with the porch below, being accessible from halls and &lrlor, which ironts on the track and is by 20 feet deep, well finished, with large fireplace, to form a cheerful retreat for the ladies. > One dining-room is connected to the rifht and two to the left of the parlor. All rooms are suvplied with ample win. dow space and bay-windows, giving a fine view of the track and the ocean. A spacious hall is located in the center | of the second floor, and all rooms open into same, with kitchen, serving-rooms, serving-stairs, ladies’ waiting and toilet rooms in connection. Great pains have been taken to prepare the plans of this clubhouse, in particular the arrangement of the rooms in regard to the clui‘s needs, which have been most carefully attended to. All the latest ideas and improvements will be applied to the structure, making the clubhouse one of the finest in the country. The erand stand, betting-ring, paddock and stables were modeled_aiter the latest design, and were built with a view of se- curing comfort, convenience and safety. A perfect and unobstructed view of the races can be had from any part of the club’s buildings and grounas. The inside track has been specially pre- pared to accommodate those wishing to view the races from tally-hos, carriages and family vebicles. Of the many approaches to the club’s grounds, one of the most popular is through the world-famed Golden Gate Park to the beach, thence down the ocean boulevard to romantic Ingleside. For natural beauty, variety, comfort and pleasure this drive is unsurpassed in America. The old Corbett and Alms- house roads have been thoroughly re- paired and are now most enjoyable drive- WS, uring the racing season three regular trains will be run daily from the Southern Pacific depot at Third and Townsend streets direct to the clubhouse and grand stand, returning at intervals of ten minutes after the last race. This is a 2uick and comfortable ride and is very esirable, especially during _stormy weather. The roadbed of the Mission- streeu electric-car line bas been thoroughly ballasted, additional electric power added, the transfer privileges extended, and dur- ing the afternoons of the racing season through cars will be run direct to the track at intervals of only three minutes. ‘With three beautiful driveways, three regular steam trains and eleciric-cars run- ning every three miautes, no one should find fault with the tacilities for going to and from Ingleside. In establishing this magnificent race- course at Ingleside the Pacific Coast Jockey Club hasexpended in the purchase of real estate, the erection of builaings, improvements, wages, etc., the sum of $540,375 85. The grounds were first opened to the public on November 29, 1895, and during the season of 1895-96 the association eave ninety-six days’ racing. It paid in stakes and purses to the horsemen $261,805 50, making a total expenditure of $802,181 35, 8ll of which was disbursed within the City and County of San Francisco. This State and the horsemen of the United States are indebted for this garaen spot racetrack to a small coterie of men who love good, square racinz. They organized the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and with their private means they built the track. The association is presided over by A. B. Spreckels, and W. 8. Leake, ex-Postmaster of Sacramento, is secretary. WILL BUILD INTO FRESHO Construction Work on the Valley Road Ordered to Be Resumed. The Line Will Now Be Rushed to That Point—Passenger Business to Begin on the First. Orders have been issued by Chief Engi- neer Storey of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company to com- plete the road into the city of Fresno. Operations were stopped about half a mile north of Fresno owing to the obstrue- tionist tactics of a number of property- owners along the street through which the line 18 to be built. They claimed their holdings would be damaged by the con- tignity of the railroad. Most of these claims have now been adjusted, and but three or four are in an unsettled condition. But despite this it has been determined to now complete the road into Fresno with the utmost dispatch. A large force will be put at work to-day and grading and track-laying will proceed almost simultaneously. Abouta week will be required to get things, into shape to begin business into Fresno. At present the road is in operation only as far as Patterson, about eighteen miles north of Fresno. Freight will probably begin to move into aud out of Fresno by the 25th inst. and passenger traffic by the 1st of October. e POSTPONED FIGHTS, The Occidental and Armory Clubs Have Made the Changes. ‘The Occidental Athletic Club managers held a conference yesterday with the man- agers of the Armory Club, which resulted in a change of the dates on which their respective entertainments were to be held. Young Mitchell, in behalf of the Occi- dental Club, asked for the change owing to the fact that Tom Tracey, who was booked to fight George Green on the last day of this month, is not feeling well, ana bis medical adviser stated that Tracey cannot possibly be in condition for a hard contest with Green unless he has at least three weeks in which to train prop- erly. The result of the conference is that the Occidental Club has postponed its enter- tainment until the evening of October 9, and the Armory Club exhibition of fisti- cuffs will take place about the middle of October. IR S e Yom Kippur Services. The stonement services at the Geary-street Temple commenced at 6:30 yesterday evening. They were very beautiful and solemnly im- pressive. Rabbi M. T. Levy preached the tonement services at 7:15, his subject being “The Watchword of the Age.” ‘This morning’s services begin at 7 A. M. and will be costinuous during the day. At 10 o'clock special services are recited for the souls of the departed of Israel. Special music and sermon precede the memorial service. At 4:30 Rabbi Levy preaches the concluding ser- mon, and at sanset the fast will end. e Pranello Held to Answer. Louis Pranello, the alleged strangler, was yesterday held to ansgwer before the Superior Court by Judge Low on a charge of assauit to commit murder. On the early morning of September 21 Pranello was errested in the act of ehoking Birdie Ward, an iumateof a Quincy- place den.

REV. P. D. BRADY'S FLOCK. Japanese Lanterns Strung in Fes. - toons in a Grove of Trees Light Up the Way. John Resing is the oldest man, as well as the oldest resident, on the Mission road. He wants this to be distinctly understood, and, as he stands on the porch of his home and waves his arm as though outlining the horizon, he says: “There was nothing out here when I built this home more than thirty-nine years ago, and I have lived here ever since.” Old man Resing is one of the early ar- rivals in this City. He reached here aboard the steamer Panama on April 4, 1851, and his judgment of a good loca- tion for a home, founded after a half dozen years' study, was the very site in which he now iives. “This reminds me of olden times,”” he chuckled last evening, looking out and over the grand scene before him. “There is old St. Mary’s College and its beautiful grounds. When I came here it wasn’t yet built and the trees were not yet planted. Look at it now. Isn’t that beautitul ?"” As a matter of fact tlie scene was pos- itively lovely and inspiring. The old col- lege towered high above the pines and eucalyptus trees far in the background. The grove to be traversed before reaching it was illuminated by thousands of Jap- anese lanterns strung in festoons, and in light and airy costumes befitting -the balmy atmosphere of the warm belt hun- dreds of young and pretty girls with at- tentive cavaliers promenaded, laughed, chatted and generally made merry before entering tne portals of the old edifice, where was being held the bazaar for the benefit of the old St. Mary’s parish. The bazar opened last night and will continue in vogue until the night of the 26th. 5 Father Peter D. Brady, who has gath- ered about him the loveliest buds of his parochial garden, has inrused into them much of his bright nature and they have managed to turn the somber hall of the old college into a veritable poem of color and bunting. It isno wonder that old man Resing stood back and chuckled with glee as he gazed upon the merry scene before him. “I remember,” said he, ‘‘the day that the closing exercises were held over there. It was after the first six months the col- lege was running. There were 330 pupils in attendance at the time and every single one of them had a whole family wishing to be present. There were no streetcars then. Those who came here had to either tramp over the sand dunes from the City, come out horseback or in wagons. This section was packed like the main street of a mining camp, and I remember well how everybody was hungry. *I just swept the shavings out of my house and laid out tables covered with sandwiches for everybody to feast. Well, they feasted, that’s all [ can say, and [ had to go without ham and bread until the old’ lady could bake again and buy some more ham.- This crowd reminds me of those old days of nearly forty years ago, only the girls are prettier. the lads are better dressed and they do not appear to be 5o hungry.”’ “Come in off that porch Johm, you're talking mor’n’s good for you,” came from the inside where a dear old lady sat knit- !il;" beside ber lamp. John subsided. 'our decades ago Archbishop Alemany, Father Gray and Father Brennan of the old Mission Dolores church got money enough together to build St. Mary’s Col- lege. Father Gray was president of the istitution for eight years, and was suc- ceeded by Father Brennan. The Christian Brothers took charge iwenty-four years —————— s NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
