A BIG FLEET OF SHIP3 ARRIVE Two Men on the Albyn Injured by the Premature Discharge of a Signal-Gun. The American ship Wachusett is with- out a commander. She isnow ata small port called Istapa, six miles from San Jose de Guatemala, and will remain there until a new master arrives from San Francisco. Captain William O. Hayden died there a few days ago, and a cablegram to Josslyn & Co. gave the news yesterday. On Sep- tember 15 the agents received a letter re- lating that everybody was well aboard and that the vessel was receiving quick dis- patch. When the M-il Company’s City of Para got in one of the pessengers brought the news that Captain Haydan was down with malarial fever. Now comes the news of his death. The dead master was one of the best- known sailors that sailed in and out of San Francisco. He was a personal friend of Captain S. Blair, the willionaire ship- owner, snd for years was master of his ship Palestine. He was also master of the Two Brothers, and also served in many of the coasters. Tnis was his first voyage in the @Wachusett. The Wachusetts left here on May 16 with a cargo of lumber consigned to the Stade Lumber Company’s agency at Istapa. She arrived there on July 28, and was tak- ing in a return cargo when Captain Hay- den was taken sick and died. A new com- mander will be sent to Istapa on the next Central American steamer. The following notice to mariners has been issued by the Lighthouse Board : Notice ii hereby given that on September 27 the Stanwood post light was moved to a point in the first bend on the south fork of the Skagit River, Wash., on the south side of the channel, about one mile southwest from the Skagit River post light. This notice affects the list of lights and fog signals, Pacific Coast, 1896, page 28, No. 1125; also the list of beacons and buoys, Pacific Coast, 1895, page 64. The catch of the whaling bark Northern Ligzht was yesterday given as four whales. Capiain Mason of the Jeanie, after looking over his notes, has found that he made a false report. The Northern Light catch was six whales, and Captain McKenzie's friends are correspondingly jubilant. An unusually large fleet of deep-water ships got in yesterday. They were from ail parts of the world, and many of them are seeking .charters, while nthers are “‘chartered prior to arrival.” Judging from the present condition of the wheat market those “seeking charters'’ will have the best of the bargain. Among the ves- sels that got in were: The British ships Albyn, 77 days from Newcastle, N. 8. W.; Frankistan, 144 days from Liverpool; Bay of Bengal, 49 days from Valparaiso, and the bark Merom from a fishing cruise and the schooner Bonanza from Fox Isiand, All the arrivals report light winds and fogs off the coast. 5 . Captain Williams of the Albyn was anx- ious to reach port, so he prepared to fire a mortar in order to attract the attention of & tugboat. Two of the sailors were ram- ming home the powder when suddenly it went off. The ramrod wasdriven through the ship’s bulwarks, making quite a hole, while the two sailors are carrying their arms in slings. The men are not badly injured, and will be quite well before the Albyn is ready to sail. The Bonanza had a fairly successful passage. She brought down a couple of cannery managers, who were anxious to reach San Francisco. The battle-ship Oregon will start on her first cruise in a few days. A three days’ run out to sea is to be made, and during that time target practice will.be in order. and a thorough test of the battle-ship’s big guns will be made. On her return she will tie up at Sausalito and await instruc- tions from the Secretaiv of the Navy. The Alert and Monadnock went to Mare Island yesterday. The former will receive a thorough overhauling, and will then go 1o Honolulu to relieve the cruiser now sta- tioned there. The Bennington will re- main on the sound for a few weeks to test the coal from the various mines, and the flagship Philadelphia will probably ar- rive here in the course of a week or ten daé'& 3 aptain Morgan of the British ship An- drosa has a curious story to tell about the manner of loading a ship with nitrate at Caleta Buena. *‘One man did the job,” said he vesterday. ‘‘Each sack of nitrate averaged 250 pounds, and that fellow used to put into our hold about 300 tons a day. He was a customs official, and had to handle everything that wentinto the vessel. Each sack as it came from the wagon was placed on his shoulders, and he would then run along the plank and drop iton the deck. After that the crew had to handle it. That man carried aboard my ship over 3000 tons of freight in ten days, and then seemed anxious for more work. Of course the distance he had to carry the nitrate was not great, but then figure out the number of trips he made, and imagine how you would like the job. Just imagine a United States customs of- ficer carrying 3000 tons of wheat aboard my ship in order to keep tally of what went into the hold.” The steamer Alyvira, which struck a | snag in Steamboat Slough and sank, has been raised and is now on the California | Transportation Company's drydock at | Wood Island on the Sacramento River. The damage was considerable, but in a few weeks the vessel will be running again. She will receive a thorough over- hauling, and will be sheathed with hard wood in order to prevent another disas- ter of a similar churacter. ‘Work on the rebuiiding of Folsom-street wharf is being rushed. Yesterday the first of the cylinders to cover the piles was driven, and by Friday the work of filling n the concrete will begin. The new pier is to surpass Pacific street in beauty and strength, and is to be the finest structure of its kind on the water front. The Oceanic Company’s Australia went from the sugar refinery to the drydock yesterday. She will receive a thorough overbauling prior to her depariure for Honolulu on her next trip. Captain Dan Haskell, ex-master of the Yearless and now pilot, has been assigned | to the Bonita, the smartest pilot-boat on the Pacific Coast. Captain Dan will begin his first cruise on the 15th inst. The tug Sea Queen while on her way to sea yesterday struck a floating pile and broke two of the blades of her propeller. | She managed to reach her dock, but will | be laid up for a couple of weeks in conse- | quence of the break. | ~ The Vallejo ferry steamer Monticello has | been laid up in order to get new boilers | put in. She will be tnhoroughly over- hauled and will then make three trips a | day between Vailejo, Mare Island and San Francisco. | A small crutch and a lunch-basket were found on Howard-street wharf yesterday | and everybody is wondering whether a 1 little cripple boy lost his ife or not. The lunch was partly eaten by the rafs, but | enough remained to show that the lad was well supplied with food. A short time | before the crutch and basket were found Henry Peterson, the oarsman, saw a man lurking among the lumber, but whether or not he knows anything about the matter remains to be seen. The harbor police are making a thorough investigation of the matter. FIRED AT BY HER LOVER Minnie Drossel, Variety Actress, Wounded in the Hand and Cheek. The Police Are Looking for a Sailor Named Hermann, Who Used the Revo.ver. Minnie Drossel is an actress in the People’s Variety Theater on the Barbary Coast and has a lover in the person of a sailor named Hermann. Minnie has not reciprocated the sailor’s passion, and this nearly led to her death early yesterday morning. Minnie lives at 706 Battery street, and in the early mornings Hermann would follow her from the theater to her home making violent protestations of love on the way. Minnie made her first appear- ance at the theater three weeks ago, and from that time Hermann has been press- ing his suit. She spoke to some of her friends about Hermann and begged them to use their influence with him that he might cease annoying her. They went to him, but he only laughed at them and told them he would do what he pleased. BSaturday night he insulted her before the audience and made things generally disagreeable for her. When she left the theater for her home, about 4 o’clock yes- day morning, he went up to her and said he would see her home, She warned him not to follow her, otherwise che would notify the police; but he was obdurate. §iShe returned to the theater and slipped out of a side door. She ran to her home and just as she bent down to insert the key gn the lock of the front door Her- mann came up behind herand fired a shot at her. The bullet grazed her left ear and cheek. She raised her left hand and Her- mann fired again, the bullet passing through her hand. She shrieked with pain and Hermann disappeared. The wounded woman was taken to the Receiving Hospitel in the patrol wagon, where her wounds were dressed by Dr. Stice. Hermann has not yet been ar- rested, but the police expect to have him at any moment. e e ——— AN ATTORNEY IN JAIL. John Hogan Gets Six Months Swindling Painters. John Hogan, an atiorney, was sent to the County Jail for six months by Judge Campbell yesterday for obtaining money by false pretenses. The complaining witness was George T. Ireland. Ireland testified that through an advertisement he went to Hogan, who represented that he was attorney for B. M. Jennin§s. a large property-owner in Oekland. Jennings wanted a number of residences in Oakland painted, and Hogan contracted with Ireland to do the work, Ireland paying him $6 for drawing up tbe contract. An investigation showed that Jennings was a myth and Ireland and sey- eral other painters had been swindied out of their money. for RESOLVED T0 DIE TOGETHER Louis Edwards and His Wife Nellie Tired of Life. While Staying for the Night in a Friend’s House He Turns on the Gas. ONE DEAD, THE OTHER ALIVE. The Wife Says That Excessive Indu'- gence in Liquor Was the Cause of the Rash Act, A husband and wife driven to thoughts of suicide ti ~ough an unconquerable ap- petite for sirong drink resolved to die together yesterday morning. His body is in the Morgue and she isin a falr way to vecovery at the Receiving Hospital. Louis Edwards and his wife Nellie lived at 328 Third street. He had charge of the lunch counter in the Chicago Saloon, Thjrd and Everett streets. Their only child, a boy about 3 years of age, lives with his aunt, Mrs. Freel, 704 Fulton street, where he has a good home. Sunday night Mrs. Edwards paid a visit to her friend, Mrs. Mabal Andrews, 403 Minna street. Edwards joined her there after the saloon was closed for the night. Liquor was plentiful and after several bours Edwards and his wife were induced to stay all night instead of going to their own home. What time they retired is not known. About 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Aadrews was_attracted to the bed- room occupied by Edwards and his wife by a strong smell of gas. She opened the door and was almost suffocated by the gas that poured out of the room. The jet was turned on, and after turning it off she gave the alarm. The couple were in bed. A hasty exam- ination showed that Edwards was beyond human aid, but his wife was alive, al- though unconscious. The Coroner was notified and at the same time the ambu- lance was summoned from the Receiving Hospital. Edwards’ body was taken to the Morgue and Mrs. Edwards was driven to the hos- pital, where Dr. Bunnell applied the usual remedies, and in a short time she partially recovered consciousness and was able to make a statement. “Drink has done this,” she said. *‘My husband and I have been drinking heav- ily. I wentto Mrs. Andrews’ last night and he came there after the saloon was closed. We were all drinking and I have no recollection of going to bed. “I remember we woke up and the sun was shining. My busband said, ‘Nellie, lec’s die together,” I didn’t say anything, as I felt too sick. He got out of bed and suppose turned on the gas, as I soon fell eep again and remembered nothing more till { came to my senses here. “We had no quarrel at all. It was simply because we were both disgusted with ourselves for being slaves to drink. My married sister took our boy some time ago. He has a good home there, which he did not have with us.” Edwards was a man about 40 years of age and his wife is 37. THE ELMORE ESTATE Decision by the Supreme Court Revers- ing an Earlier Decision Con- cerning 86500. The Supreme Court has given a decision in the case of Susan B. Elmore, as admin- istratrix of the estate of Sarah F. Elmore, deceased, against James &. Elmore. The court below rendered an ordinary money judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $0500, with costs. The Supreme Court re- verses this judgment and orders a new trial, because neither the complaint nor the findings sustain the judgment ren- dered, and ‘‘the cause of action, if any, es- tablished by the finaings is wholly difter- ent from the one averred in the com- plaint.”’ The deceased, Sarah F. Elmore, was the wife of the appellant. The complaint set up that during ber lifetime and during her married life she received certain prop- erty from the estates of her deceasad par- ents, which was mostly in the form of money; that she furnisbed this money to the appellant, as har agent and trustee, to purchase lands and personal property; that he purchased lands, taking the con- veyances in his own name, and that he, to some extent, mingled the money of the wife with the community property, so that it became difficult to state exactly what was her interest in the land so pur- chased, but the plaintiff believed that at least one-half the lands and one-half of certain personal sropert ‘Wwas bought by the appeliant and is held by him as tru: tee for the deceased wife. The amoun which the lower court awarded, was the exact amount which Sarah . Elmore inherited from the estate of her parents. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria, THREATENS THEIR CHRISTIAN WORK Free Silver Means the Recall of Half the Missionaries. Views of Dr. Homer Eaton, National Methodist Treasurer. WARNS SINCERE CHURCHMEN. Explains How Free Si'ver Would Strike Death to the Csuse in Foreign Fields. Dr. Homer Eaton, treasurer of the Mis- sionary Society of the Methodist Episco- pil church and a member of the firm of Eaton & Main of the great Methodist book concern of New York, now on a visit at the Occidental, declares that the free coinage of silver would mean death to the foreign missionary work of the Methodist church. “Our society,” said he yesterday, “‘dis- bursed last year $1,237,845 62. Of that amount $624,977 99 went into foreign mis- sions. Under a silver basis half of that would have been utterly lost to us. “We will have to call in half of our men if the Chicago platform wins. The effect of free coinage cannot be anything buta disaster. Those people at the Chicago convention have gone wild over this idea. There are many good Methodists and sin- cere Christians among them, and I have no doubt of their sincerity in their delu- sion. When an Eastern banker or mer- chant talks to them they look on what he says with suspicion. His motives appar- ently are all mercenary. I do not speak as a banker, as a politician or an Eastern man, and I say that the free coinage of silver means ruin for the foreign mission- ary work of the Methodist Episcopal church. “Qur society is run on a regular bank- ing principle. Our missionary board makes appropriations. The money is under my control. Drafts on myself as treasurer of the society are sent out to pay the appropriations to our foreigr mission- ary work, and these drafts are cashed by banks all over the world, and_they are ai- ways honored when presented at my office for payment. The commercial world, civilized and heathen, is practically on a gold basis. We have reason to know that. For instance, China is a silver country and is running nominally on a silver basis. Butitis a mostnotable comment on the currency question that there is not a single bank in all China that will touch one of ourdrafts or give ita moment’s consideration unless the word ‘gold’ s stamped across the face of it. We cannot get money from any of those banks unless we promise to pay them back in gold. We have no choice in the matter. 1tis ‘no gold, no advance on the drafts.” We can’t get alopg without those drafts, and so, finally and conclusively, we must have old. Ly “As itis in China, %01t is everywhere— in Asia, Africa and Europe, wherever our migsionaries are stationed. We are not liké\the big commercial houses; our deal- ings are not confined to particular parts of the world specifically adapted to one or another branch of trade. e don’t care at all whether the people of the countries into which we go have things to buy or to sell. The teaching of Christianity is not following any such restricted plan of operation; it goes literally evervwhere. ow, under the present gold standard of the United States we have no difficulty in meeting these demands for gold payment. We can give them all the gold they want and as fast as they want it. The money in our treasury is every bit of it as good as rold. Practically speaking it is gold, for we can turn it into gold whenever we wish. That being the case, everything is plain sailing. We get the full utility of every cent that is subscribed to our mis- sionary fund. There is no loss for ex- change. “With a silver standard in this country we would be terribly crippled. We would bhave to bay gold to meet our drafts, and gold could only be secured by payinga high premium. We would have to spend needed money to pay these premiums on goid, money that 18 now being used in legitimate church work. It would cut us way down. At least half of our foreign workers would have to be called in on the day the people of this country declared for fifty-three-cent dollars. Every dollar that is given to the cause of Christian work abroad would be worth just its commercial value as silver.

Three queer-looking men, closely resem- bling each other in general appearance, arrived at the Grand Hotel yesterday evening. They are T. C. Sehrader, J. E. Spurr and H. B. Goodrich of the United States Geological Survey. S8ix months ago they were sent to Alaska by the Govern- ment to make an official examination of the gold fields of the great Yukon, and twenty -days ago having completed their investigations they started from the meuth of the Yukon in the steamer Bertha for this port. For over three months they had been tramping alone over the gold district adjacent to the Yuxon River. The Government particularly desired to know the g_ro!pects for bedrock mining along the Yukon. These scientists have a favorable report to submit. One of them said last night: “We examined all the gold-bearing gulehes of the Yukon River down to St. Michael’s on the coast. Only placer min- ing has thus far been attempted in that region. andnfiaod deal of gold is being taken out.
