THE ENGINEER'S ERROR Adventures of the Bark Willie Hume in a Fierce China Typhoon. IN THE CALM STORM-CENTER. Drumrock — The Vigilan.’s Loaa of Rockcod. Mrs. Thorold’s little tug Ethel and Marion, which was sunk at her moorings alongside of Union-street wharf early Sat- urday morning, was raised that same evening. The accident was caused by the engiueer, David Linden, leaving the water from the dock hydrant to run into the vessel’s tanks while he took a stroll up ‘town. He returned and went to bed, for- getting all about the tug, and when she was full of water she went down in the bay. Mrs. Thorold employed “Captain White- law to lift her boat up into dayhght. The veteran wrecker, sympathizing with the unfortunate woman, raised the vessel,only charging $125, just enough to cover the actual expenses of sending down a diver to secure the sunken hull with chains and hoist ber to the surface. Yesterday the hands of the tug were busy getting her cleaned out and in shape for work again. The hatch covers, sky- lights and in fact everything movable about the deck had flontedy-way and were lost. As Linden is a single man and has no one depending upon him for support, it is the feeling along the front that he would do a graceiul and manly ‘act if he would turn 10 and pay that $135 bill. He either permitted the water to run un- checked into the vessel until she went down, or if some malicious person turned on the water, as he intimates, he was criminaily negligent in leaving the hose and couplings fixed to the hydrant instead of removing them to the toolhouse, as he has always done before. The bark Willie HHume, owned by George { W. Hume of this City, arrived in Tacoma from China a few days ago having es- caped from a terrible tyghoon that caught the vessel in its fierce whirlings. She left | Shanghai August 6 and on the 24th ran into the storm at latitude 42 north and longitude 150 east. Several men were in their bunks ill with the terrible heat, and this made the bark short-handed. The captain reports that he needed 100 men to mansage her in that awful gale. For days | | f she ran beiore the wind under bare poles, making nine and ten knots an hour. The bark found the calm center of the storm, and often for hours she would not feel a breath of wind. She would roll on the | great billows till it seemed that she wonld f shatter into a thousand pieces, then she | would get into the 1inner circle of the gale | { | 1 | B. G. Koenig, Otto Crewitt and W. and away she would go like a racehorse. Finally the good bark got away from the tempest and made her way safely across the Pacific to her aestination. The schooner*Aloha arrived yesterday evening from the Hawaiian Islanas. In she spoke the British ship Drumrock, bound from London to Vancouver. The people aboard the ship had not seen a vessel for four months ana the Aloha was a blessed sight to them. A boat with newspapers and fruit was sent to them irom the schooner and the delighted sea- men gave three hearty British cheers for the Yankee craft and the starsand stripes. The tug Vigilant returned yesterday evening from a fishing trip up the coast and her passengers came ashore fairly Im:ided down with strings of big red rock- cods. The Pacific Mail steamship City of Syd- ney got in iast night from Panama and anchored in the stream. This morning she will be boarded by the Quarantine Officer,and as there is no sickness on board she wiil land at her dock. An officer of the vessel stated that every- thing was quiet on the Central American coast and tnat nothing of any importance occurred on the vessel during her passage up the coast. The following are the cabin passengers: Mrs. M. Alberque, Miss A. Alberque, Mrs. Carranza and daughters, Alice Fay ana Hilda Fay, Otto Boeden, Mrs, Boeden, Joaquin Arzin, Fredrico Soginni, J. P. Corcoran, G. R. Perry, Isaac Siena. There are thirty passengers in the steerage. The bark J. D. Peters arrived last night from Port Clarence, Chignik Bay, Aiaska, with 23,000 pounds of whalebone, some ivory and skins, also 21,515 cases of salmon, all consigned to Pacific Steam ‘Whaling Company.

The Unfortunate Man Tells a Story Bristling With Trials and Hardships. After being buffeted around for many years from prison to aimshouse and from almshouse back to prison, with an occa- sional railroad trip to vary the monotony, George Papalou, a Hwaiian native, has finally found a lodging-place in this City. Temporarily he is at the Receiving Hospital, but to-day he will be sent to the Pesthouse, for he is a victim ofjthat dread disease, leprosy. Papalou reached San Francisco yester- day afternoon, going direct to the Receiv- ing Hospital, where he told the attending surgeon, Dr. Rinne, his trouble, and inci- dentally the story of his life. The history of Papalou is as interesting and full of trials as falls to the average man's lot. He was born in Honolulu 36 years ago. His mother was a native woman and his fatber an Italian. Waen 5 years of age he came to this country, going to Houston, Texas, where his brother, Joseph Papalou, then resided. Eleven years later the dread disease made its first appearance, but the elder brother concealed the fact from the public by having the young man treated in a private institution. There was no appreciable change in his condi- tion, and when Joseph Papalou died some few years ago the real condition of the younger brother became known. ‘Without any great amount of formality the authorities bundled him up, bag and baggage, placing him on a train bound for Marshall, Tex. There his real trou- bles began. In time he was warned to leave town, but not heeding it he was one day summarily shipped to Fort Worth. The same treatment was meted out to bim there, and also at El Paso, where he was sent some weeks later. He was finally forced to leave the latter place, though the citizens were kind enough to give him a tickev to Los Angeles. The authorities took him in charge for a time, but 1ast week concluded, it seems, to get rid of him. He was given a ticket to this City, arriving yesterday afternoon at5 o'clock. The last nickel he had was spent for a streetcar ride to the hospital. Papalou, as alreaay stated. will be sent to the Pesthouse to-day. He will be given the Goto treatment, and as the disease has not yet reached its worst stage it is thought that a permanent cure may be effected. BAPTIZED IN THE BAY, The Ceremony Witnessed by Many People at the North Beach Baths. Charles Nontgomery P ung's a Young Man Into the Water—The Ac- companying Service. The ceremony of baptism by immersion was performed at the Shelter Cove baths on Bay street yesterday afternoon. 1t was attended by a small band of devout men and women, each of whom carried a Bible and a bymn book, and participated with much fervor in the baptismal services. From the neighboring shores and wharves several spectators were attracted to the scene of the religious observance, and they watched it with more or less interest. Shortly after 3 r. M. the party that was to join in the ceremony appeared at the baths. A few words of direction were spoken by Charles Montgomery, the hotel man, who conducted the service in the water, and all sang & hymn as they ar- ranged themselves in a circle. After the hymn a prayer was given, and then singing was resumed, at the close of which there was reading from the Scrip- tures. The verses selected were from St. Peter’s epistles referring to baptism. The reader, expounding on the words, de- clared that Christ” was baptized on the cross in blood, but this immersion in the water was merely a fifiure of the real bap- tism—regeneration, Meanwhile Mr. Mont- gomery was in & dressing-room changing is dress, and H. A. Ironside, the one to be baptized, was also preparing for his plunge. Montgomery appeared in a long dark overcoat and a blue jeans trousers, while Ironside wore a Salvation Army tunic without 1ts insignia and tweed panta- loons. They walked into the water to- gether, and when about waist deep Mont- gomery plunged the young man com- pletely under the waves, after which they returned to their dressing-rooms without ceremony. A hymn of praise was sung, after which the baptized one said he had buried the corpse that had died six years ago when he was saved. An appeal was made by him to those who were not like himself— saved—and the services concluded with a prayer. B D S Nora Coffey’s Jump. Nora Coffey was taken from the City and County Hospital to the City Prison yesterday to await her trial on the charge of petty lar- ceny.

The most notable feature of yesterday’s shooting at Schuetzen Park rifle range was the performance of J. Utschig of the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Club. He established a splendid bullseye record of 17 out of 20. The best previous record of 16 out of 20, held by George Helm and A. Strecker, also of the California Schuetzen Club, re- mained intact for sometbing like thirteen years.

For two years Com- g:ny K won and has held the trophy. Since the reorganization of the Naticnal Guard only Companies K, M, F and I have been able to shoot for the prize, the other companies of the regiment being consoli- dated with other companies or regiments.

COOPER'S BIBLE LESSON. The Teaching of Wholesome Truths ¥rom a Bible Text. A large number of ladies and gentlemen attended Mrs. Cooper’s Bible class yester- day on the occasion of reassembling in the auditorium of the First Congrega- tional Church. An interesting discussion of the lesson filled the hour. Rev. Dr. Adams visited the c'ass and was warmly received. The lesson was based on Proverbs, 16:22-33. The teacher expressed pleasure at being again in the old-time place. She said: *“Solomon had swept the whole circle of social experience when he wrote the Proverbs, It is exceedingly interest- ing to see what a man of such naturally fine quality and of such a resolute spirit has brought back from the wide field of experience. There is one study that can never lose its interest for us. That is the investigation of human character. We find much in common with our own ex- perience in the life and heart history of others. Solumon began well, but the brightuess of his life was obscured at last because he failed to live well. The life of God in the soul of man ought to be a per- petual development. **The aged fool represents the very sum of folly, as says verse twenty-second. But the gray hairs that represent well-used ex- periences, they are a crown of glory. The aged disciple, sitting like an old soldier in the even-tide of life, recounting his well-fought battles, can tell many a story of heroic fighting. There is a way that seemith right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death. *Nothing can save any one but firm, good habits, steadfast principles and the race f God in confirmation of them. guo by steo men go downward. In pur- suing evil courses, it is like going down winding stairs. The upper stairs hide the lower ones. Each step is a slight descent, but it is downward. One has only to keep on and he will reach the bottom in time. ‘Whatever lowers the tone of moral feeling is dangerous. By and by all resisting power is gone, and when temptation comes ruin comes with it.”’ ————— Military service in Spain is compulsory on all for eight years, or for four years in the colonies.

The changes made are pursuant to the action of the conference which has just concluded its labors at Pacific Grove. At the First M. E. Church on Powell street, between Washington and Jackson, Rev. W. 8. Urmy yesterday addressed a new flock. Dr. Urmy, however, is not new to San Francisco. He has just con- cluded his teraa as vastor of ‘the Potrero chureh, where he was extremely popular. His new congregation proposes giving him & public reception next Thursday evening Dr. Frank Jewell, who is one of the best known and most popular ministers in the California Conference, has been allotted to Trinity Church at the corner of Market and Sixteenth streets, where he yesterday addressed the congregation for the first time. Dr. Jewell had no charge last year, his efforts being directed as Chancellor of the University of the Pacific to recoupin the finances of the institution. Dr. Jewel ;ns been stationed at San Francisco be- ore. Reyv. Mr. Chilson, who last year occupied a pulpit at Ione, met his congregation at NEW TO-DAY.

Mr. Chil<on isa young man of force and culture. Previous to his charge at Ione he was a member of the faculty of the University of the Pacifie, but preferred the ministry " to educational work. Rev, G. R. Stanley occupied the pulpit at the Fifteenth-avenue Church, recently vacated by Rev, E. M. Hill. Dr. Stanley was last located at Benicia, but has been in this conference for a great many years. He is a comparative stranger in San Francisco, not having preached here for a long time. Rev. Dr. Phelps of San Luis Obispo was to have commenced his pastorate at the California-street Church yesterday, but was unable to arrive for yesterday’s services. He is expected next Thursday and will occupy the pulpit Sunday. Dr. Adams, who has been called as sup- ply pastor for the First Congregational Church, it is said will probably be the permanent successor of C. O. Brown. Dr. Adams is at present pastor of the Compton Hill Church of St. Louis, one of the most fashionabls religions organiza- tions in that city. The standing of the church is largely due to Dr. Adams’ per- sonal efforts, he having assumed the pas- torate when it was a struggling mission. Dr. Adams preached his first sermon in this City yesterday morning, when the church’s Goors were opened the first time in months. His ndsress made a very favorable impression. Dr. Adams is saia to be not averse to assuming charge of the church, and those who know him say he is just the man to bring the church to its former standing. —e 4 Man Found Unconscious. « An unknown men was picked up inan un- conscious condition on the corner of Post and Market streets by Officer J. H. Caples last night. He was removed to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that he was suf. fering from a severe contusion of the face. There was also & wound on the head. The attending snrgeon thought a fracture of the skull might be developed later on. The man regained consciousness a short time about 10 o'clock. He gave his name as Roscoe Perry, and smd that he had received the injuries while walking across a field at Palo Alto.
