The Dominion Was Ahead, but the Dutch Ship Had Her Lines Out Five Minutes After the Britisher. RUSH OF WHEAT SHIPS TO LOAD All Vessels in Port Are Now Seeking Wharf- age Room. TWO DOCKED YESTERDAY They Were the Dominion and Nederland, Both From European Ports. ROW ON SCHOONER HERMAN | A. P. Lorentzen and the Mate Said to Have Had a Serious Alter- cation. Two foreign ships- docked at Union- street wharf yesterday. Itisnot the first time, by many in the history of the port, that two have docked at one and the same time, but on this occasion both vessels in questionfl have had'remarkably rough ex- periences rounding the Horn. From 50 to 50 they met witlr a succession of gales that would have sent many a vessel to the Both were splendidly handled and reached port in safety. The Dominion was the first to reach thedock, and Captain Ike Smith, who was in command of the tug Sea Queen, made a splendid landing. Captain Clem Randall, in the Vigilant, bad hold of the Nederland, but botb wind and tide'were ngaifist him. Nevertheless he put the vessel into her berth in'a man- ner that excited the envy of every tow- boat mad on the water front. The Domin- ion was the first to reach the wharf, and it was not many minutes later before the Nederland was along the south side of Union and discharging her cargo. Both vessels-areengaged and wili be ready to load inside of three weeks. Inthecase oi the Dominion the eddy get the ship away from the wharf, but the comménder, Captain Metedith, at once got steam on the donkey engine and it did not take long to ‘warp the vessel into her *berth.” . : . 2 There is trouble on the otter-hunting schoomer Herman and in consequence A. P. Lorentzen is in mourning. He could not be found yesterday, but if all reports are to be believed he is adorned with a beauti- 4ul pair of.black eyes and sundry acces- sories. Lorentzen is the man that hasto make both ends meet when an otter or sealer in which he is interested arrivesin port. When the Herman got in a splendid showing was made and in consequence the men began to celebrate. The hunters were on salary, but the boat-steerers, boat. pullers, steward and cabin boy were on “alay.” First Mate Charley Rydell was in the same predicament. When it came to ““paying off” Lorentzen on bebalf of the owners offered to pay at the rate of $150 a skin. This was indignantly re- fused as it issaid otter skins are now worth from $500 to $900 each in London. "8It was over this difference in figures that trouble arose. Rydell was to get 8 35 per cent *'lay” on the price brought by the skins.. When he found the rate was fixed at one-third their value he got angry. Lorentzen visited the ship in order to put her out of commission and then the trou- ble began. The sailors have placed the matter in the hands of Attorney Hutton and he has already begun proceedings in the matter. Lorentzen hasno sympathizers in the case, as'the entire crew can swear that many of the skins are worth §900 each at the pres- ent time in the London market. The tug Vigilant and the schooner Westport went out to the Cordell banks last Saturday night. The captain of the towboat found the banks without any trouble, but the cantain of the steam schooner failed, The result is easily told. The fishermen on the Vigilant had fish to sell and the fishermen on the Westport bought them. Next Sanday Captain Randall of the Vigilant will take out a party of old-time sports, and he promises that the best fish- ing grounds in the Pacific will be visitea, even if all and sundry are seasick. Gunter Tronstead joined the Salya- tion Army yesterdsy, He was out of steam work and did not desire manual labor, so he sought an easy time in the Lord’s vine- ’ yard. He got it, but incidentally his land- lord is out and injured. Many and many a time the case of the injured sailor has been told, but this time the boarding-master comes in, W. Me- Carthy, one of the most reputable in the business, tells thlsstory: “On April 29 I took Gunter Tronstead off the British ship Broderick Castle. 1 wanted men to fill engagements, and 1 offered him in- ducements. He came ashore and I ad- vanced him a few dollars. He got drunk and broke his kneecap. On May 6 I sent him to the Marine Hospital, and on June 22 he came back. Ever since he has been living on me, and yesterday when I offered him a ship he said he had joined the Sai- vation Army. “The most I'get out of this advance would not have exceeded $35, s0 yon can easily see that there are two sides to every storv. Why, any coasting seaman can live'on me for a month and then demand his baggage and I can’t say him nay.” An unknown man fell or jumped from the steamer I-Iar{ Garratt last Sunday night. The vessel was on her way from Stockton, but it took some time to stop it. The Garratt was off Antioch and a boat was lowered and one was also sent out from the shore. Nevertneless no sign of any body was found. | _The following notice is issued by the United States Lighthouse Inspectors: Notice is hereby fiven that on September 28 the 8t.

When the Egremont Castle arrived on Sunday from Japan she sought an an- chorage in the ‘bay off Goat Island. The streckle-pin gave way and the vessel went adrift. Luckily another anchor held, and the big tramp steamer is now safely at an- chor, Yesterday the tug Sea Witch was out for twelve hours seeking the lost mud- hook, but failed to find'it. DONNELLY'S DEBT GREW, He Owed a Money-Lender $03, but Was Foreclosed on for $500. Thrifty Ways by Which Some Brokers Make Their Coin Yield Immense Returns. Another instance of the facility with which a note for a few doliars may evolve into a judgment for several hundreds, par- ticularly when the note is drawn in favor of a professional lender of coin, came to light yesterday. E. Donnelly filed an affi- davit in the County Clerk’s office 1n sup- port of an application for a restraining order showing how J.J. Rauer had ob- tained judgment against him for $425 prin- cipal, interest and the costs of the suit, when Donnelly swears he owes Rauer but $93 27. About a year ago Donnelly borrowed $179 from Rauer, giving his note therefor. To secure the note he drew up a chattel mortzage on tuirteen horses, six sand wagons, six sets of double harness, one set of single harness, two buggies, a lot of tools and a blacksmith’s outfit. He made payments on his account from time tn time until the 1st of this month. Rauer in the meantime, so Donnelly says, told him to be easy in mind, as he (Rauer) wonuld take no steps in the matter without notifying him. On September 1, however, the money-lender entered a default against Donuelly, and on September 11 got jude- ment for $493 and costs and foreclosed the mortgage. Donnelly says that through an excusa- ble mistake he neglected to answer the suit, and further, that on September 1 he owed Rauer but $141 27, he having al- ready paild him the difference between that sum and $179, and that since then he has paid another $48, leaving due but 3 27. ”Notwnhuundln the fact that less than $100 is due him Rauer preceedea under his judgment for over $500, anid yesterday would have sold Donnelly’s borses and wagons had it not been for the restraining order, which was issued by the Superior Court. —— More Fruit Exhibits.

Edward Heints, the delegate from the Twenty-eighth, who made so tierce an at- tack on Mayor Sutro the other evening, as s00n as peace reigned, rose and said: ‘‘Gentlemen, this Phelan is not a true Democrat. We don’t want him for Mayor, and the sentiment of the people 13 such that he cannot be elected. I wantto pro- pose the name of a man whose election will give us a spnra City government, a name of which San Francisco should be proud—the name of Dr. C.

SOME WARM SPEECHES. Resolutions Promising Those Chosen Full Freedom of Action. ! BORDEN FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE. Voting in Some Cases Runs Close and Occasional Flashes of T:mper Are Seen. The Citizens' Non-Partisan Convention resumed its work of formulating a ticket last night. The lecture-hall of the Acad- | emy of Sciences was packed. Nominations | were made for Superior Judge, Auditor, Treasurer, Tax-Collector, City and County Atttorney, Superintendent of Streets and City and County BSurveyor. The other nominations, or at least a part of them, will be made to-morrow evening. Ex- Mayor Ellert presented a report recommending the appointment by the chair of a committee of five, whose duty it should be to select nominees for the Senate and Assembly. This brought about much contention. Frank J. Sullivan, who had introduced a resolution at a former meeting to the effect that a pledge be requested to be signed by candidates without the necessity of any special committee, seemed somewhat agerieved at Mr. Ellert’s proposed substi- tute. E.J. Le Breton claimed the discus- sion was out of order; Mz Ellert com- plained that he was being placed in a false position before the convention, while C. B. Perkins, A. 8. Hallidie and others at- tempted explanations pro and contra. Mr. Ellert's resolution was re-read, which produced yet more wrangling, J. W. Whiting and W. F. Wilson being the chief speakers. At length Mr. Wilson moved tgat Mr. Ellert’s recommendation be adopted, which was done. | It was also decided that the president | and vice-president be ex-officio members | of all committees of the convention. Mr. Le Breton introduced the following resolutions, which were adopted unani- mously: Resolved, By the Citizens’ Non-Partisan con- vention, that its members individually and collectively hereby pledge themselves not to ask for any office for themselves nor for any one in their behalf, nor for any official favor from any candidate nominated by this con- vention because of any indorsement or sup- port accorded to him. Resolved, That its members individually and collectively promise to every faithful and honest candidate elected to office the fullest freedom of action in the management of his department. A communication from C. 8. Tilton, candidate for County Surveyor, was read, in which Mr. Tilton stated he would be willing to have a reduction of 5 per cent in his fees of office, that being all in his opinion that the office could stand in view of the present financial stringency. The work of balloting for candidates was next taken up, H. L. Davis and Georfs Cumming being appointed tellers. Rhodes Borden and Frank H. Dunne were proposed for momination to the post of Superior Judge. Fine speeches in favorof each candidate were made by his friends and the balloting resulted in 32 votes for Mr. Borden and 16 for Mr. Dunne. Mr. Borden’s nominatian was made unani- mous. Asa R. Wells_was next Frog‘oucd for Auditor by Mr. Whiting, while Mr. Ellert made a glowing eulogy of Mr. Broderick, the incumbent. Mr. Le Breton and others spoke in the same strain. The balloting resulted in favor of Mr. Broder- ick, the vote standing 38 to 9. Nominations_for Treasurer were called for and Mr. Le Breton proposed A. C. Wid- ber, the present incumbent, who was nom- inated by scclamation. The same proced- ure was followed in the case of James M. Block for Tax Collector and Harry T. Creswell for City and County Attorney. George P. Wetmore was proposed by Mr. Le Breton for Superintendent of Streets, Lester Jacobs named D. L. Farns- worth for the same position, and I. J. Tru- man paid a glowing tribute to George W. Elder. A heated discussion ensued, and it was moved that the matter be referred back to the nominating committee. The motion was lost, the vote stanaing 23 to 25. The candidates were then voted for, the nomination going to Mr. Wetmore, the vote standing 32 to 16 for Farnsworth, giving him exactly the two-thirds re- quired. Tne nomination was made unani- mous. The nomination for City and County Burveyor was next called for. The names of Charles 8. Tilten and Lot D. Norton were suggested. Charles Ashton and Mr. Ellert opposed Mr. Tilton’s nomination on the ground that his connection with the famous Dashaway case had never been satisfactorily explained. A. 8. Hallidie proposed Robert Munch and speeches ga- lore were delivered. The balloting re- sulted in a victory for Mr. Norton, the vote standing: Norton 40, Tilton 6, Munch 2. The chair appointed L. R. Ellert, Theo- dore Payne, Jeremiah Lynch, Julius Kahn ————————————— NEW TO-DAY.
