THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1896. INCENDIARISM IN /" TACOMA'S HARBOR Three Attempts to Destroy the Four-Masted Bark Drumcraig, Incipient Blazes Discovered in Time to Preserve the Vessel. MUTINOUS SAILOR SUSPECTED. Had Threatened When Placed in Irons That He Would Be Revenged. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasgm, Oct. 9.— There is considerable suppressed excite- ment around the water front in Tacoma over the attempt to burn a fine English bark lying at one of the wharves dis- charging a general cargo. The matter is being carefully suppressed there, while two detectives are trying to trap the fire- bugs. Thrice the vessel has been set afire and each time narrowly escaped. The fine four-masted bark Drumeraig is moored alongside of the Eureka dock. It is discharging a cargo taken aboard in England, and a portion of which was ianded in Vancouver. On the passage out from Europe one of the sailors became inous and so violent that it was neces- D sary to put bim in irons. shipmates .say that while he was in irons he threatened that when liberated and ashore he wouid wreak his vengeance on the ship. - A few nights after he left the Drumcraig in Vancouver It was discovered that an at- tempt had been made to burn the vessel. The sailor had disappeared and, though suspicion pointed toward him, the watch was doubled to prevent a second attempt. A week later the vessel went to Tacoma and a day or two afterward one of the crew reported having seen the suspected man skulking along the back part of the wharf, That night a second attempt was made to fire the vessel. Tn a place where a lot of combustible paint had been stored, the paint haying been removed oniy a few hours before, a good-sized blaze was dis- covered. Before getting much headway it was quenched. The most diligent watch was then be- gun to catch the firebug. On Monday night another attempt was made to set the bark e. The blaze did not get much headway and died out. The police were notified, and two detectives are now at work night and day trying to unravel the mystery and arrest the suspected sailor. The cap- officers are dumfounded, and suspecting the sailor, whom 1roned on the voyage out from Eng- land for insubordination, are at a loss to account for tise several attempts to burn the bark. The ship’s officers say that every man aboard is above suspicion, ana several trifiing events indicate that some one boarded the bark to apply the match. Each time the vessel was set afire there was a different watch on deck. ey 10 FLOAT THE UMATILLA. Attempt to Move the Steamship Will Be Made To-Day. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasa., Oct. 9.—It is confidently expected by the stranded and half-sunken steamship Umatilla’s officers that at noon to-morrow the vesse: wiil be pumped out, floated around Point Wilson into Port Townsend Bay and beached where it will be safe from bad weather. Then if it is deemed safe it will be taken to the drydock at Quartermaster Harbor for permanent repairs. The ship's two pumps and four other 12-inch pumps were started to-day and in five minutes jowered the water four inches. the holes found in the Umatilla’s m have been stopped, and it is be- lieved that it can be easily pumped out and be afloat by noon. As much freight as possible has been i from the vessel, two scowloads nded to-da; In every other way 1t has been Jightened and is now in good condition to be raised. If to-morrow’s attempt is unsuccessful four additional 18-inch pumps will be used in a second effort to raise the half-submerged steamer. STOCKTON'S SENSATION, Kasson Estate Sued on a Note Given to a Saloon- Keeper. STOCKTON, Cawn., Oct. 9.—An action commenced in the Superior Court to-day may result in an interesting fight involv- e Kasson estate when the trial takes ace. The plaintiffs are A. F. Naher and F. Kohlberg, who, by their attorneys, 0l & Orr, sue Clark McChesney, as éxecutor of the will of George M. Kasson, to recover $6245 42, alleged to bedueona debt of $5000, contracted by Kasson some time before his death. The sum sued for includes the interest claimed to be due on the original amount. The note on which the action is commenced was given to George' M. Mowry, a saloon-keeper, and by him transferred to the plaintiffs. For some time it has been whispered that sensational developments would come to light in the Kasson estate, and that not only & note for a large sum of money but a contract marriage would fig- ure 10 the case. MecChesney, it is alleged, will endeavor (0 prove that the note was given to Mowry by Kasson while he was drunk and ignorant of what he was about. According to the story now being told Kasson, while under the influence of liquor, sought the companionsbin of a characterless woman, and while in his cups be offered to marry her, and actual- Iy did sign a contract of marriage that somebody made out. : It was on the same occasion, according to report, that the note was given by the rich rancher to the saloonist. The note was given in return for various notes of much smaller denomination. McChesney will endeavor to prove that Kasson was as drunk and irresponsible when he signed these smaller notes as he was when he signed the big one. SAN JOSE HERCINE DEAD. ssing of Mrs. Benjamin Burt, a Sur- vivor of Joaquin Murietta’s Ama- dor County Raid. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 9.—The funeral of Mrs. Benjamin Burt, a pioneer woman of this State, was held this afternoon from the family residence in East San Jose. Some of his | | and she and her husbana settled in Ama- dor County. About that time Joaquin Murietta’'s band passed thiough that county murdering women and children, and the morning following the massacre Mrs. Burt, who had escaped death, rode on horseback over the hills and mountzins helping to care for the dead and wounded leit bv this band of cutthroats. She was a native of Massachusetits, aged 64 years. A husband and four daughters survive her. ———— San Joseans Are Long-Lived. SAN JOSE, (AL, Oct. 9.—Dr. J. R Cur- now, secretary of the Board of Health, has computed the average duration of life in this city and found it to be 45 years. This longevity is greater than any other city in the United States. The average of New York is 29 years, and_ that of Sa- vanah, Ga., 26 years. The death rate of this City for the month of September was 24, or an average of 11.52 per 1000 inhabi- tants for the year. —e—— The Parker Contest. SAN JOSE, Caxn., Oct. 9.—Judge Rey- nolds this morning denied the motion for & nonsuit made by the proponents in the Parker will contest. Mr. Delmas then moved that the allegations of fraud and undue influence be stricken from the com- plaint on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to sustain them. Should these be stricken ont it would leave the single guestion of insanity before. the jury. The motion was argued this after- noon. — Youthful Horseihief Sentenced. SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 9.—William Har- rington, a 19-year-old boy who pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny last week, was to-day sentenced to one year’s imprisonment by Judge Lorigan. On May 18 Harrington stole 2 horse and cart from M. D. French and drove to San Fran- cisco, where he sold it for $4. THE B CRICRET MATCH All California Enthused Over | Next Week’s Great Event. The Australian Team to Be Met by Many Prominent Citizens N:xt Tuesday. All cricketdom is discussing but one sub- ject—the forthcoming match on Wednes- day and Thursday next between the world-famous Australian team and eight- een representative California cricketers. It will undoubtedly be the most import- ant cricket event ever seen on this coast, and should the weather be favorable the grand stand of the Presidio athletic grounds is likely to be packed. A committee compoded of the executive committee of the St. George’s Club and of- ficers and delegates of the cricket associa- tion met on Thursday evening and ap- pointed the following reception commit- tee to meet the visitoss on their arrival in Oakiand next Tnesday evening: W.Greer Harrison, honorable president of St. George's Club and president of the Pacific Cricket Club; British Consul-General J. 'W. Warburton, president of the Califor- | nia Cricket Association; Edward Brown, president of the Alameda Cricket Club; Dr. cCalvert, president of the California Cricket Club; Hon. Stewart Menzies; Frank McCdppin, ex-Unitea States Com- missioner to the Melbourne Exposition; Thomas J. Flynn, proprietor of the Wasp; James Markland, Rev. W. W. Bolton and Rev. James Fell. They will leave this City by the 7 P. M. boat on Tuesday. R. H. Delefield was appointed a com- mittee to secure tents, etc. W. Greer Har- rison accepted the treasurership. It was decided that oniy members of the committee and one or two others, to be appointed by the treasurer, should be em- powered to solicit and receive subscrip- tions toward defraying the expenses of the game. Under the management of the secretary the grounds are being put in periect order. A concrete pitch has been laid and rollers and waterers are hard at work. Notification has been received from the following cricketers in the interior offer- ing their services on the California team: W. R. West of Stockton; C. Simmonds of Loomis; A. H. Jackson of Auburn; Captain Keeling of Lakeport; W. Spencer Mavo of San Jose; H. Duckworth Bowley of Lawrences, ,Santa Clara County; K. Hamilton Sims, secretary Hanford Club, all of whom will bring down good delega- tions to witness the match. Captain W. R. Robertson of the Bohe- mians, who will captain the local players, was seen by a CALL representative yester- day in reference to the tactics he would pursue in the contest. He said: “Ii I win the toss I will put the visitors in, in order to give the spectators a mag- nificent baiting exhibition, such as has never before been seen on this coast. At the start Iwill take the bowling at one end, with H. H. Cookson as my partner. Myers of the Pacifics will do duty with the gloves. The, changes of bowling, which will, no doubt, be soon called for, will bring on Ward Jr., Sloman, Dickin- son, Peel and other noted trundlers, With this material and the balance of our eighteen strong team in the field we may be able to dispose of them for a reason- able score. “When their inning comes to a close— if it ever does—I hope with the assistance of such batsmen as Richardson, Butt, Moriarity, West, Jackson, Keeling, Bow- ley. Sloman, Hogue, Bowhill and myself (:ffia iast being added with the modesty of merit) to come somewhere near if not up to the kangaroo score. “What we have roost to fear is the stage fright of our team. - If they wiil only keep up their pluck and forget that they are u{uying against such men as Griffin, Trott, Trumble and Johns, and with the eyes of the world and of their lady friends upon them, I have no doubt that we shall make a creditable showing and prove to the United States that cricket _in California is only second to cricket in Pniladelphia—if that,” Letters, telegrams and telephone mes- sages regarding the great match are pour- ing in from all parts of the State. Never before has the game received such an im- petus here, and even those who bave never yet seen the game are likely to at- tend the match out of curiosity. e BUCKLEYITES BUCKLE IN. They Will Go on the Ballot as ‘‘Silver Democrats’” and Populists. The decision of the Supreme Court de- nying the Buckleyites the right to use the designation “Democrat” on the bal- lot had the effect of rather enlivening the camp of that faction last evening. Most of the Buckley ticket will go on the ballot under the designation ‘“Popu- list”” anyway, so that the decision merely forces the presentation by petition of the smail portion of the ticket not taken up by the local Populists, The Buckleyites, however, will present their entire ticket by petition, and their proposition last night was to go on the ballot under the title “Silver Democrats,”” the decision of the Supreme Court of the day before regarding the Palmer and Buckner electors being taken to givethem this privilege. .. — Grand Rally To-Night.

A joint meeting of all the committees of the Union Veterans' League was held at their headquarters at the Auditorium yesterday at 2 P.M. In the absénce of President Ruddick, the meeting was called to order by Vice-President General John F. Sheehan. The object of the meeting bad been under discussion for some time, and at yesterday’s meeting a final plan of action was adopted. One of the subjects discussed by the committee was the fact that all the Elec- tion Commissioners but one were Demo- crais, and that the precinct officers were nearly all Democrats, and about all the offices—Federal, State and municipal— were filled by Democrats, and conse- quently that it behooves the Republican party to guard well its interest until elec- tion day. Therefore the committee de- cided that it would not only be necessary to vote the Republican National ticket, but also to see that the vote would be counted on election day. It was decided to appointa committee in every precinct so that they might can- vass their respective precincts by the day of election, snd in order to more thor- oughly perfect the system it would be necessary that the veterans forward their addresses and the number of their pre- gincts and Assembly districts to head- quarters as soon &s possible in care of the secretary of the Union Veterans’ Patriotic League. 2 It was also decided that the committee should meet daily, SBunday excepted, at 3 P. M., until the day of election. The com- mittee is now as follows: William J. Ruddick, president; General John F. Sheehan, first vice-president; Charles M, Leavy, secona vice - president; D. M. Cashin, secretary; Martin Murray, treas- urer; execuntive committee — General James Coey, John J. Shepheard, Jerome Deasy, C. A. Fuller, Thomas Mallon, J. T, Bonnifield, C. B. Grass, C. D. Douglas, John Heffernan. The following preamble and resolution were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, The Union Veterans’ Patriotic League is a strictly National organization whose aim and objects are the election of the National Republican candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States, it is, thereiore, Resolved, That the San Francisco Encamp- ment of the Union Veterans’ Patriotic League will not indorse any candidate for municipal office, that we will not solicit or accepta con- tribution from any candidate for office, nor will we authorize the name of this organiza- tion to be used for any such purpose. D. M. CasHIN, Secretary. A GRAND RALLY. Republican Voters of the Thirty- Fifth District Out In Force. A grand rally of the voters of the Thirty- fifth Assembly District took place last evening at the headquarters of the regu- lar Republican Club at 3008 Mission street. The meeting was called to order by Presi- dent William Gill, and after a stirring melody from the band Secretary J. J. Guilfoyle read a resolution pledging the club to support the National Republican party. This was uvanimously adopted. A resolution was adopted indorsing the action of the Board of Education in pro- viding a high school for the Mission. The meeting was addressed by W. A, Deane, candidate for Auditor; A. B. Treadwell, nominee for Police Judge; William H. Powers, candidate for School Director; James Kidney and Louis Titus. These laid down the principles of the Re- publican party clearly and forcibly. Br; anism, Populism and anarchism w: shown up 1n all its vacuity. First it was free trade, then free silver and then free everything else that was impracticable. A, B. Treadwell, who made his third speech of the evening, gave his audience his ideas of the duties of a Police Judge and the maximum of time he should be absent from his courtroom between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. o1 working days. James Kidney in his remarks paid some attention to the great aggregation of capi- tal behind the Democratic canaidate for the Presidency, also the Democratic nominee for tihe Vice-Presidency, the millionaire owner of banks and ships, and who ran his business in gold. Over $682,000,000, he =aid, was represented by the power that picked the nominees at the Democratic National Conyention. The Thirty-fifth Republican Assembly District, the speaker said, would roll up an overwhelming ma- jority for McKiney and the Republican party. S McKINLEY VETERANS. An Enthuslastic Meeting Addressed by Judge Dibble. The regular weekly meeting of the Mec- Kinley Veteran Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Re- publican Club was held at its clubrooms, 113 Turk street, last pight and was at- tended by over 200 members. Judge Dibble, candidate for the Assembly for the Forty-first District, was present and addressed the club at length on the issues of the campaign. His speech aroused much enthusiasm and was frequently ap- plauded. Other speakers followed the Judge and were well received. Letters were read vom different comrades commending the action of the club in x‘}ansing resolutions condemning *‘Coin” Harvey for his un- manly and unpatriotic utterances against General Sickles and others as “‘2 carload of old bummers,” etc., and expressing grati- tude to THE CALL for its championing of the cause of the old soldiers, ———— WOMAN’S ANNEX.

Republicans Hold a Big Rally at Which W. B. Heyburn Speaks. ALAMEDA, CAL., Oct. 9.—The largest crowd that ever gathered on Park stréet thronged that thoroughifare to-night. The oceasion was a Republican rally, and Lin- derman’s Opera-house was filled to over- flowing long before the speaker arrived. The McKinley Drill Corps, in their natty white uniforms, paraded on Park street, headed by a band, and were followed by a carriage in which were Judge Greene, W. B. Heyburn and E. K. Taylor. On reach- ing the hall, Mr. Taylor introduced F. H. McCormick as chairman of the evening. Jndge Greene and Sam P. Hall, candidates for the Superior bench, were introduced, but neither spoke more than a few sen- tences. Mr. Heyburn was greeted with tremen- dous cheers as he arose to speak. He said in part: ‘“Politics is business. Those things that are not permissiblein business are not permissible in poiitics. When we undertake a business affair we look around to determine what course to pursue, If there ever was a campaign where these rules should apply it is this one. Our oppouents are contipually try- ing to find some excuse for turning the Republican party out of power. Four years ago when they could find no other excuse they told them they had some- thing free to offer, and we got free trade as the panacea for all the ills we suffered. What was the result? Nothing but dis- aster. I believe there is no man who would declare for free trade. But what did they do? They simply tampered with the revenue and business of the country. “They are pleased to tell us that the present condition of the country arises from the crime of 1873. “Where this disaster is said to have failen the heaviest there was not a dollar in silver in circulation. How could legis- lation affecting the silver dollar of that time affect the interests of the people when none of it was in circulation? “There is but one party that is in favor of bimetallism in the United States, and that is the Republican party. These par- ties that are so hard to name only pro- pose to substitute silver monometallism. ‘The silver dollar of to-day has the promise of the Government to pay, and is as good and as fully valuable as the gold dollar,” GAINED A VICTORY. Major John A. Darling Has Secured a Transfer and Will kemaln at the Presidio. Major John A. Darling, Fifth Artillery, U. 8. A., has arranged with Major Ramsay for a transfer to the Third Artillery, and will there+ fore remain at the Presidio until further or- ders. His friends in the army say that he fter the departure of General Graham the Fifth Artillery next week, become post commander-in-chief at the Presidio, and hold that important position until the arrival of Colonel Bainbridge, Third Artillery. The major commended the post at Black Point, under Generals McDowell, Schofield, Pope and Howard. In 1867 he commanded Goat Island, and foiled the railroad company, which was then preparing to seize it. At the Presidio the hope is expressed that the relations between the coming commander, Colonel Bainbridge, will be more cordial than those which have long existed between Gen- eral Graham and the major. Itis quite grati- fying for the major's friends to contemplate tial he will no longer be compelled to bow to the superior authority of General Graham, and they perceive in this iransfer & victory gained for the major. The Secretary of War,in his wisdom, may keep these officers wide apart. With one in San Francisco and the other in New York there cannot be much friction. ‘Among the many duties devolying upon Mr, Lamont none is more difficult to perform than that of preserving peace in thearmy. By this time he mustcompreheud that the reservation at the Presidio is not large enough for General Graham and Major Darling. Colonel Bainbridge, the coming com- mander, is said by his army associates to be a master of all the arts of diplomacy and a superior strategist in the affairs of post ad- ministrations. His prestige in society equals his rank in the army, and all acquiesce readily in his leadership. The report that Major Darling isto be re- tired on_account of physicel disabi:ity is re- garded by his friends as incredible.” Phy- sieally the major is in su{wrh condition and is likely to astonish a of areny surgeons by his robustness. { The largest mammoth tusk yet discov- Mrs, Burt came to California in 1854, | ered was 16 feet in length.

THE JURY WAS DISMISSED. The Members Said There Was No Chance of Reaching an Agreement. A sensation was sprung in Judge Dain- gerfield’s department of the Superior Court last evening, when the case of Anthony Quill against the Southern Pacific Company went to the jury after a protracted trial covering nine days. Mr. Quill sued the corporation for $50,- 000 for the death of his daughter, May Quill, an accomplished young girl, who was killed by the Berkeley local at Dwight station in Februazy last. Before the jury was charged by Judge Daingerfield Attorney Matt Sullivan, who represented the plaintiff, electrified the court and spectators by announcing that he had absolute proof that at least two of the jurors had been seen 1n the company of railroad detectives and were open to the suspicion of having come under rail- road influence. He pointed a warning finger at John F. Sweeny and John Heany, and told them that they had been watched by detectives, and would be until the case had finally been disposed of. He said he knew posi- tively that they had expressed a certain belief that the plaintiff could not get a verdict so long as they were on the jury, and that a certain P. Isaacs, who wasthen in the courtroom, was responsible for their conviction in favor of the defendant. He claimed that the latter had exerted in- fluence which would come under the crim- inal statutes covering such cases. Attorney Sullivan’s startling declara- tion was made about 8 o’clock after the jury had been charged. The arguments were finished at 5 o’clock and the jury was taken out for supper. At the hour named they were called in and after the foreman had announced that they had failed to agree Attorney Sullivan made his accusa- tion. Juryman Sweeny announcea that he knew Mr, Isaacs from a jury in a previous case, but denied that he had been influ- enced in hisopinion of the case. Judge Daingerfield said that he would send the jury out until 11 o’clock and would then return and hear what the members had to say regarding the case. About the hour promised, Judge Dainger- field came into court, and at once the op- [ NEW TO-DAY. Your calf shoes are dilapidated, your feet are wet, you cough, sneeze and feel badly all over.

Mr. Ackerman_loudly maintained that the Southern Pacific had never attemnted to ! influence the jury in any way, and Mr. Sullivan reiterated the ~statements he made earlier in the evening. Judge Daingerfield wanted the jury to be left until a verdict was reached, but both attorneys demanded that the case be dis- missed. The court pleaded a full calendar and two weeks of useless work, besides an osportnnny to attack any verdict ren- dered, but the lawyers were obdurate and the court gave in.
