NARROW ESCAPE ~ ROM DISHSTER The City of Puebla and-an Unknown Bark in Collision. -‘Both .Vessels Were Considerably Damaged, but Were Able to Continue. ARRIVAL OF THE PUEBLA. A Brutal Fight on the Battle-Ship Oregon Just Before She Sailed o From Sausalito. There was almost another marine disas- ‘ter on the 24th inst. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s City of Puebla was in collisicn, off Otter Point, with an un- known British bark, but luckily the dam- age was not excessive. Had the sailing vessel struck the steawer fair and square rrobatly both would have gone down, and the loss of life would have been appalling. -The accident took place in a dense fog, and Captain Debney neither saw nor . heard the bark until she was almost right : on the Puebla. The captain’s account of the collision is short and to the point. He says: “We Jeft Victoria, B. C., on the 24th inst,, at 10 ». M. When off Otter Point we collidea .with an unknown vessel, supposed to be a British bark. The bark struck the Puebla on the starboard side, carrying away our . main and fore rigging and shrouds. Over “tpirty feet of the bridge and several stanchions were carried away, and the .davits of the forward boat were started. The damage to the unknown we could not ascertain, but the chances are thatshe lost her bowsprit.” “When the two vessels came together there was considerable excitement on the . steamer, but Captain Debney and his offi- cers dssured the passengers that there was not the slightest danger and their *. fears soon subsided. The bark was hailed and asked her name. An answer was given, butcould not be made out. As she continued on her course, Captain Debney -came to the conclusion she was not dam- .nged to any extent and got under way for San Francisco. As soon as the Puebla was docked yes- ay a gang of men were at once put to work repairing the damage. When she goes ..out again in a few days it will never be }«_fln_wxx that she had ever been in a col- ision. . . The high winds of last Monday night dreve the river steamer City of Siockton - 80 & mud bank and held her there for Pur bhours. Finally the Dauntless came ong and pulled ver off. This job made “\: latter boat four hours late at this end. be Harbor Commissioners did consid- erable work yesterday. The California . Navigation and Improvement Company sent in a commaunication asking that the nited States quartermaster’s steamer Port. When Monday’s Gale Was Coming Up the Bark Columbia, From Port Blakeley, Was Beating Into Captain Silovich of the Tug Vigilant Offered Captain Gove a Tow, but He Refused. The Tug Started for Home, and a Few Minutes Later a Squall Struck the Bark That Made the Captain Put About and Run Out to Sea. The Columbia Arrived Yesterday From Port Blakeley With a Cargo of Lumber. | where else. It was pointed out that the company was now handling all the freight of the San Joaquin Valley road and in consequence had four of the largest barges in the bay constantly employed. | The barges come and go at all timesof the tide and in consequence collisions with the McDowell are frequent. ‘‘Our expense item on this account alone has been very heavy,” said. Superintendent Hugh J. Corcoran, *‘and we cannot_afford to be constantly repairihg the Govern- ment steamer. The space is badly wanted for river freignt, and I think we should get it. as one wharf is just as good as an- other for the Government steamer to dock at.” It was decided to leave the matter in the hands of Chief- Wharfinger Root. ‘He will confer with -army - officers and see what arrangements can be made. H. A. Rood asked for 300x100 feet of the inshore side of section B of the' seawail. | Chief Engineer Holmes said that the land asked for was on the thorouchfare. The | matter was referred to Mr. Holmes to in- vestigate. The Risdon Iron Works offered to put the braces in the tawer on the ferry depot for §1550. Mr. Holmes thought the price was too high and the matter was laid over. The biggest cylinders.ever used in dock building are to be put in under Folsom- street wharf. They are six feet in diame- ter and will be dfiven an extradepth in order to secure, stability. Rapid progress is being made in the building of the new wharf. Pacific street is now one of the busiest on the front. The schooner Annie and the ship Roderick Dhu are both loading for Hawaii and the steamer Monowai for Australia. All three take general cargoes and tnree gangs of men are kept going irom morning till night. Just before the battle-ship Oregon sailed on her practice cruise last Saturday there named Tiederman of stealing his tobacco. Tiederman slapped his face, but Nichol- son did not retaliate. Next morning Nich- olson crept up behind Tiederman and knocked him down with a mop, cutting open his head. Tiederman whssent to the Mare Island hospital and Nicholson was put inirons. AMONG THE WHEELMEN. California Division Annual Election. Kenna Joins the Bay Citys. Balloting for officers for the North Cali- forma Division, League of American ‘Wheeimen, closed Monday night, aud the votes were counted vesterday. The regu- lar ticket was elected completely, as it named all the officers of the past adminis- tration, which has been very satisfactory to the members. Those elected were: Chiet consul. Frank H. Kerrigan; vice- consul, Henry F. Wynne; sécretary-treas- urer, Stanley G. Scovern; also eight repre- sentatives from different parts of the State. The only contest was for the office of sec- retary-treasurer, Lewis C. Hunter running against Mr. Scovern. ! T e Golden Gate Cyclinz Club leld an enioyable bop at Turn Verein Hali, in the Mission, last evening. J. R. Kenna, the crack amateur rider of the coast, has applied for membershipin the Bay City Wheelmen, in confirmation of a statemeut made in THE CALL Monday, and his name is now being balloted upon.

A great deal of business isto be transacted and President Kerrigan requests that all delegates be sure to attend in person. The Imperial Cycling Club will hold its third party Friday evening of this week at Odd Bellow-’ Hall and the mexbers expect it to eclipse all previous efforts in this direction. . The Barkentine Marion Libeled. The crew of the barkentine Marion yesterday 1libeled that vessel in the sum of $2000, alleged to be due for wages. It appears from the com- plaint that in April lest the crew signed with the captain of the Marion for a voyage to Cooks Inlet and return. A porilon of the wages agreed on were paid, but there still remains due the sum already mentioned. Captain Andrews, it seerns, stopped off at Cooks rum. sending the vessel home in charge of Mate Walsh. On arriving at this port an effort was made to comprov ise the mutter, but the sailors would have no;hinf 1o do with such a proposition, hence the libel. 6rand Larceny Charged. George McCabe, a teamster, was booked at the City Prison yesterday by Policemen Ryan and O'Bel on the charge of grand larceny. He is accused of entering John Daly’s saloon, 527 Mission street, with two companions and steal- 1ing a gold waten from Daly’s pocket and three bottles of whisky and three boxes of elgars. —_— e 10 CUKE A COLD IN ONE DAY, Takelaxative BromoQuinine Tablets.

They Dencunce the Chronicle for Conveying a False Im- pression Yesterday. OVER TWC-THIRDS FOR TAYLOR Secretary Cook Says the Fake Will Not M:ke Any D fferencs to the Colomel's Friends. The few friends of Charles 8. Laumeis- ter, candidate for Mayor, in the United Railrood Employes’ Republican Club are said to have played a scurvy trick upon the other members of the club, which nas been exposed by W. C. Cook, the secretary of the club, who is a personal friend of Supervisor C. L. Taylor, the Republican candidate for Mayor, and is doihg every- thing he can to secure his election. In yesterday’s Chronicle it was stated in the report of the meeting of the club at Mission Parlor Hall Monday night that when the meeting adjourned the men crowded round Lsumeister and accorded him a most cordial greeting, every one be- ing eager to grasp his hand, and all assured him of their hearty support. This would 'lead to the impression that the club was solid for Laumeister. “‘My name is mentioned as being pres- sent,” said Secretary Cook last night, “but I was not there, and for a very good rea- son. Friendsof Laumeister came to me yesterday and to other members of the club who are friends of Colonei Taylor and told us that the meeting had been post- poned, I did not go to the meeting in consequence, but as I began to think over the matter it occurred to. me as very strange and I made up my mind to zo to the ball. The meeting had just adjourned l'and I saw no one giving Laumeister a cordial greeting. It is possible he may have taken some of his friends to a neigh- boring saloon, but the report in the Chron- icle gives the false impression that every one at the meeting crowded round i:im. “A private canvass of the members of the club has been made and over two- thirds have pledged themselves to vote for Colonel Taylor, which shows how false the report in the Chronicle is. “I and. other members of the club are indignant at the ‘fake’ reportin the Chron- icle, but it will not have any effect on Colonel Taylor's friends in the ciub,” BAD EASTERN FRUIT. Measures to Prevent It Being Sold Under California Labels. The committee of thé San Francisco Fruit Exchange, having in charge the matter of packing Eastern fruit under California labels, has secured the ser- vices of Chickering, Thomas & Gregory and Gerstle & Shoss, who have in turn en- gazed eompetent attorneys at all the objec.ive points in the section where this disreputable traffic 1s being carried on. This is not the first year that the practice has beenin vogue, but until now it has | not been done :0 so greatan extentor in such a barefaced and open manner, and the committee intends there shail be an end of it. As a sample of the correspondence re- ceived from honest packers the following was received from Nashville, Tenn. : 1find that all through the South these dis- reputable Baltimore packers are puttiug in car after car of “slush’ peaches at 65 cents to 75 per dozen, under California labels, and I feel that some effort snould be made to re- strain them, else it will ruin the California canned-fruit business in the South. The poor ignorant people who buy this “stuff” suppose they are getting California fruits, and, disap- pointed, next time they will buy Baltimore fruits, which will naturally appear better to them than the California article, so-calied. I think Californians should have a law passed through Congress making it a crime to label goods representing them to be -packed in one State while'actually packed in ancther. Cer- tain it is, if something is not done, an irrepar- able damage will pe done to the California canned-fruit business throughout the entire Southern States. » —_— e Young Republicans Awake. The executive committee of the Young Men’s Republican League, composed of some of the brightest young stalwarts of the grand old arty, is busily engaged at their campaign Readqunrlers, 220 O'Farrell street, selecting a municipal ticket to be voted on Tuesday next. The ticket will be issued on Thursday. MISS ANTHOAY JSSURED Satisfied That the People Will Adopt Woman Suf frage. She Has Toured the Stats From End to End and Is Confident of the Popular Voice. If the political future seems as well as- sured to others as it does to Miss Susan B. Anthony in reference to the subject of woman suffrage, then there are many skies that are reddened by hope. But Miss Anthony bases her opinion on per- sonal observation, on conversations with men and women throughout the length and bieadth of California, ana on the very signifcant fact that in all California only one organization has decided to op- pose the constitutional amendment which may confer on women the power to vote. “Idon’tsee how we can be defeated,” said Miss Anthony last night, “‘but,” and Miss Anthony looked benignantly but de- cidedly throuch her glasses, “if we are defeated we will go at it azain. After the campaign is over we will have a grand raily in this City in Golden Gate Hall, November 5 and 6. The railroad has given us regular ctonvention rates, and women will be here from all. over the State. On the 7th six of us, the Eastern emissaries who came out to work in Cali- fornia, will all journey eastward together. 1 have been campaigning on the Pacific Coast eight months, and bave met with a variety of experiences. Among other in- cidents I spoke from the rear end of a train down in San Luis Obispo County, the train stopping ten minutes to enable me to address the people.” Rev. Anna Shaw addressed a meeting of vrinters yesterday at the office of Francis & Valentine, speaking on the theme that “No One Class Can Legislate for Any Other Class.” At the close of her address she received three cheers. Mrs. Carrie (Chapman Catt addressed a meeting of railroaa men yesterday, and three cheers were given by the men for Mrs, Catt and for woman suffrage. . | Just an even gross—144—of these in Antique and Mahogany finishe Best Rocker value we've offered yet.
