Alter Years of Service to Be Broken Up for Her Cop- per and Iron. CHANGES AMONG SHIPMASTERS Arrival of the Rio de J meiro From Honolulu Without Kate Field’s Remains. The old sloop-of-war Swatara has -at last reached ber final resting place. Built in 1872 by the United States she was then the pride of the navy. Now sheislying at Decotaville, near Hunters Point, and to-morrow the work of wreckineg her will begin. Some weeks ago a full bistory of the historic old ship was givenin Tue Sux- pAY Carr and now all that remains is an obituary notice. Some time ago Uncle SBam advertised the remains of the vessel as for sale. She had been dismantled and all that remained of her was the hull. A company, headed by ex-Pilot Johnson and John W. Cos- grove, superintending engineer of the Pa- Coast Steamship Company, pur- chased the vessel and madeall the ar- rangements for breaking ber up., Last Thursday t ey sent the *‘Red Stack” Com- pany’s tug Liberty to Mare Island to tow her down, but the commandant would not give her up, as he had received no instrnc- tions from Washington. The telegraph was used, and after a delay of twenty-four hours the vessel was turned over to the captain of the tug. Off Valiejo-street wharf the tug Sea fiNflcn, Captain George Harvey, took the Swatara in tow and ran her into the mud at Decotaville. Strange to say Captain Hars vey was the man who named the little place. The first vessel ever broken up there was the old ship Decota, and Har- vey towed her to the spot wheret e work of wrecking the Swatara will begin to- morrow. On his réturn to San Francisco he told the newspaper reporters that he had run the old hulk ashore at “Decota- ville” and it went into the papers accord- ingiy. The name has stuck to the place ever since. The Swatara and the little tug made quite a picturesque appearance as they passed along the front. Only a stump of the foremast remained and 1t had been sawed off close to the rail. The ports were all wide open and conveyed a re- minder of the days when cannon bristled along the sides ot the stout old ship. Her copper showed away above the water line, and judging of the amount that must be on her vot.om the purchasers will make enough out of it alone to recoup them- selves. Some of the choicest timbers will be made into canes and one of them will be suitably mounted and engraved and forwarded to President-elect McKinley. When everything of value has been taken out of the hull the remains will be set on fire in order to secure whatever iron or copper that may remain. The old Swatara was a wooden ship of 1900 tons displacement, 216 feet long, 37 feet broad, 16 ieet 6 inches deep, 680 indi- cated horsepower and an estimated speed of ten knots. There were more changes in the masters of vessels yesterday than there have been in a month. Nearly ail the movesare in the nature of promotions, so the skippers are happy. Oaptain Brissem of the schooner Gotama nas been transferred to the four-masted schooner Volunteer. For a year he has been making most_success- ful runs between here and Coos Bay, and his owners have rewarded him. The Vol- unteer will load railroad ties for Mollendo, Peru. Captain Morine, who brought the Vol- unteer into port, will leave on the steamer Mexico for Victoria, B. C., to take com- mand of the bark Colorado, while Captain Captain “Dick’’ Nelson hasrelieved Cap- tain Englebrettsen on the schooner Lizzie Prien and will take her out on her next run to the Nehalem River. Captain Engle- brettsen made two unusually long pass- ages to that point, and now Captain Nel- son is going to see what he can do with the vessel. News from the river isnot encouraxing. The schooners Confianza, Eureka, Arthur I and Theresa are bar- bound aud have veen for some time. On October 27 the tug on the river offered to tow the Confianza to sea, but the captain refused to go. The tug went out herself, bound for a neighboring port, and has not been heard from since. This is according to a private letter received from Nehalem River yesterday. The oid bark Marion was sold yesterda W the United States Marshal to C. hitney for $1000. When the rush to Alaska was on she took a number of miners up to Cooks Inlet, but on her re- turn there was no money with which to pay the crew. The men libeled the vessel for $1500, but now that she has brought such & smail sum they will be lucky if they have $500 to divide among themselves when all tne expenses are paid. A week ago the Southern Pacific’s old cripple, the Newark, was once again taken off the route for repairs, and the Encinal was put in her place. In consequence the El Capitan had to be put on the narrow- gauge route, and all tne passengers are clamoring. Especially on the 5:15 P. M. trip is tbe grumbling most notic able, One-half the passengers cannot get seats on the little boat, and several people have been burt in the rush to get ashore at the mole. Yesterday settees were placed on the main deck and a gangway from the steamer to the shore was put into opera- tion, but stiil the inconvenience was very great. The El Capitan is one of the fasiest boats in the company’s service, but she is altogether too small for tbhe morning and afternoon rtraffic, and if the company wants to avoid a disaster or the filing of a complaint with the Inspectors of Huils and Boilers for overcrowding it will make some change at once. What's the matter with putting the Alameds in commission and letting her and the El Capitan do the creek work and put the Encinal back on the narrow-gaunge route? C. A. Carosio, a salesman for a produce- house on Washington street, was charged at the Harbor Police station yesterday with assauit to murder. He had a row with C. Callaban, and when the latter ran away Carosio tbrew a hatchet after him. Tx{e Pacific Mail Company’s steamer Ri1o de Janeiro arrived from Hongkong via Yokohama and Honolulu yesterday. Her stop at the latter place was unexpected, but as there was considerable of tue Gae- lic's freight awaiting transhipment it was decided at tbe last moment to send it on by tne Rio. The iollowing were the cabin passengers: Robert E. Carney, Mrs. Carney and infant, Lieutenant B. Cherevkoff, Mrs. B. Cherev- | koff and chiid, A. Giille, Dr. F. Grime- | wald, Lieutenant W. G. Hammon, Licu- tenunt Hyde, Mrs. Hyde and three chil- dren, K. Komura, C. Laughton, Rev. 8. F. Moore and three children, M. Osnima, H. | Passavant, F na, Mr.'and Mrs. 8. W. Rosendale, D. P, Thumpson, J. Takayama, E. H. Warner, Miss L Wiasemsky, G. Vasumaga, John Lewis, P. Joss. Messrs. Oshima, Oban, Takayama, Ya- sumaga and Komura are Japanese experts sent here 10 inspect the iron works and ship-building industries of the United States. Incidentally they may look out for the interests of Japan in the building | of the two cruisers, coniracts for which | bave been let to the Union Iron Works | and Cramps. Contrary to expectation the remains of Kate F.eld dil not come up on the Rio. | In fact the officers ou that vessel were | just as much surprised as those ou tue | Australia when asked about the matter. They say there was not even a whisper REV. P, COOMBE'S NEW CHURCH Richmond’s Congregational Flock Has Chosen Its Plans. A Pretty Building to Be Finished Of With California Redwood. FINE PARLORS FOR CHILDREN. To Accommodate Worshipars With Infants There Will Be Nursery Attachments. New plans have just been accepted for the church which the Richmond Congre- gational flock proposes to build at the corner of Seventh avenue and Clement street. Within a week work will be com- menced on the building, and it is ex- pected that before the end of the winter the new church will be ready for occu- ancy. The lot owned by the Richmond Con- gregational flock is 75 feet by 120 feet, and the small church at present standing there will be moved to the side of the lot and addeda to .the new building, with which it will communicate by folding doors. The old church will be utilized as a Sunday-school and will also be used on occasion to enlarge the seating capacity of the new church, when the rolling screen will be thrown up. The old church seats about 300, The building will be of wood on a brick foundation. Its dimensions will be 36 feet by 62 feet with an altitude of 36 feet. To the top of the spire will be 80 feet. The roof will be supported by open trusses ot dressed Oregon pine and the seats and paneling will be of California redwood. Behind the main auditorium will be two large parlors and a kitchen. During divine service these rooms will be open to the children of any of the worshipers who find the litile ones too young to take into churcn, and who do not wish to leave them at home. A woman will be in charge to take care of the babies and see that the children keep quiet. Rev. Philip Coombe, who has been pas- tor for two years of the R.chmond flock, is an active worker, and he does not in- about the removal of the remains, and that if anything was to be done the Ha- waiians dia not know anything about it, While t.e Rio was at Hon,kong a pirate_was executed at Kowiloon, across irom Hongkong. The man had been caught redbanded and his execution was summary. He was led out on the beach, oruered to kneel down and the next mo- ment his head was rolling in the sand. Thus is justice (?) administered in China. The_KEritisn ship Gleneric got in from Cardiff yesterday after a fair passage. The captain reports that on Augusi 13, in latitude 47 deg. south, longitude 38 deg. west, he ~aw four large icebergs bearing west-northwest. They were about 300 feet high. The voyage was uneveutiul, JUSTICE TO JOHN O’TOOLE. The Man Who Bullt the Milpitas Alms- house Was Never in Want. In an article published in Tee Carn two weeks ago an unintentional injustice was done the late John O'Toole of Santa i Clara County.

Queer Plight of a Rosinante in a Nar- row City Trench. One of the queerest accidents that ever happened to a dumb beast took placs Fri- day afternoon on Harriet street, formerly known as Garden street. A sewer trench has been dug ou that thoroughfare during the past few days to a depth of possibly ten feet. Into this trench alarge draft- norse fell, striking squarely upon its back, It was being driven from a stable when this took place and, going backward, did not see the hole in time to turn, Seen from above the animal was a queer sight. All that could be noticed were four feet, which were kicking vigorously and threatening to cave in the sides of the trench and bury the quadruped out of sight. The trench was so narrow that the norse could not move more than its legs. After it bad been there a short time the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals appeared. It was impossibie to get the tackle ordi- narily used for such Eurposes under the beast. All that could be done was to hob- ble two of its feet and hoist away. Then it was possible to get straps and ropes ander, and the horse came up to the sur- face once more. Incredible asit may ap- pear, the* horse’s back ‘was not injured, nor did the animal appear to have been hurt in any way. MILLIONS TO BE SPENT. Enormous Steel Plant to Be Bulilt in Japanese 1 Fields, M. Oshima, technical director of pro- posed great steel works in Japan, and four Japanese engineers are at the Occi- dental. They are en route to examine the great steel works of America and Europe, in order to buy a plant of machinery cost- ing, approximately, $2,000,000. They say they will buy where they can get the best and cheapest. The plant when finished is to have a ca- pacity of 100,000 tons. It will be built at the coal fields in Southern Japan. Both Martin and Bessemer sieels are to be manufactored. All this Mr. Oshima set forth last nizht. He also said the commission which he headed would be absent a year from Japan. “We want to put our country,” he said, “where it properly belongs—in front of the van asa manufacturing nation. We w1l need a vast amount of steel, and do not want to depend on any other country for it.” They will be here for several days and will examine the manufactories of San Francisco, and then go to St. Louis, Chi cago, Pittsburg and other piaces, and on to Europe. e Marriott Released on Bail.

Superintendent Babcock called up the case of Mrs. Margaret Dwyer, who re- signed from the departmentin November, 1891, and who wishes to be reinstated. It was shown that her primary grade certifi- cate had been renewed once after her resignation, but had expired in 1894. She was reappointed as a teacher by the Board of Education during last month, but as her certificate had been allowed to lapse, the examiners did not see that they had any power to renew it and declined to rec- ommend such a course. Mrs. Irene M. Reeves was granted a a grammarg-rade certificate on the life diploma. . Miss Idella M.
