The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, December 12, 1896, Page 14

14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1896. w.a CG.ien The Beaver Hill Coal Company’s Steamer Czarina as She Appeared on Hzr Trial Trip in Mission Bay Vesterday. Without Any Preparation She Made 10 1-2 Knots an Hour Over the Measured Mile and Surprised the Men Who Made the Repairs. SUCCESSFUL TRIAL OF THE CZARINA A New Record for Colliers Made by the Renovated Steamer. She Will Run in the Beaver Hill Cosl Trade, Beginning Next | Week. On Her Arrival the Mariposa Will Be Laid Up for a General Over- hauling. The Beaver Hill Coal Company’s Czar- ina had her trial trip yesterday. She more than exceeded expectations and in | consequence the directors of the Risdon Iron Works are jubilant. When the | steamer reached San Francisco in tow of | the tug Fearless her engine-room was to | all intents and purposes a wreck. Since then the vessel has been thoroughly over- hauled and yesterday over the measured mile ske logged better than 10}¢ knots an bour. When she is fitted with the patent corrugated propelier Captain Drisko ex- pecis his vessel to beat 11 knots when fully loaded. Among the guests who went out to see what the Czarina could do on her trial were R. 8. Moore, vice-president of the Risdon Iron Works; H. U, Tabrett, marine | superintendent of the Risdon Iron Works; | Manager Graham and Assistant Manager | Stafford of the Beaver Hil! Coal Com- pany and Capiain Higgins of the steam tchooner line. Over the measured mile | rina made splendid time and then Drisko headed her for the Golden Tue vessel was flying light and in consequence she rolled heavily when the tide-rip struck her. | Usually Moore and Graham are good sailors, but_vesterday they paid their tribute to Neptune. h “his left hand | clutching the rail and bis head over the side Moore waved frantically to Cnpn\in‘ Drisko with his right to put the ship | about. The order was obeyed, and half an hour later Mr. Moore was on terra firma. Everyboly connected with the vessel was more than satisfied with the trial. *‘It was the three hundred and twentieth test of a steamer that I have been outon,” | said Superintendent Tabrett yesterday, “and I never saw a boat move off so quietly and do such good work without the engines having been turned over be- | forehand as the Czarina. The credit of | the performance is due in a great measure to Martin Buiger, the expert on marine engines, as he superintended all the re- pairs. He was unable to be present at the trial trip owing to an attack of rhenma- tism.” Directly the trial trip was over the Czarina was docked and the work of ship- | ping cargo begun. She may get away for | the mines to-day, but the chances are that | Monday will still see her at her dock load- ing eargo. Sardines and herrings are at a discount | at Fishermen’s wharf. Latterly the catches have been unusually heavy, and as the demand is slight the Italiansdo not know what to do with their catch. Yesterday a 50 or 60 pound box of tne fish could be bought for 25 cents, and the fishermen were giad to get rid of them at that figere. The run is unusunl!y! heavy this year, and every boat that comes in is loaded down with the fish. The coalheavers on the Richard IIT had a narrow escape yesterday. The vessel was discharging at Rosenfe!d’s bunkers, and as one of the bickels ‘'was being | boisted out of the hold it tipped and | threw the couple of tons of coal hack into | | | | | the hola. Several of the men had a nar- row escape, and they not only thanked their lucky stars, but shook their fists at | the man aloft who was manipulating the | buckets. The steamer Mariposa will be due here next Thursday and she will be laid up for | repairs. Her boilers want overhauling | and consequently the bunkers will have | to be emptied. This will take some time, and, coupled with the work that will have | to be done in the boiier-1oom, it will be impossible to get the ve-sel ready for sea on her sailing date. The Zealandia has therefore been calléd out of retirement and will take up the Mariposa's run. She | has just completed a voyage to Central America for the Pacific Mail Ccmpany, but | NEW TO-DAY. - e s (ristmas --- Gifts S ROCKERS N 227 POST ST. 217 BUSH ST. | Miss Alice Jobson, Franc Milroy { in the interest of the Home. before tying her up at Martinez Captain Howard saw 10 it that she was in firsi- class order. Under his vizilant eye every little repair necessary was made, and in consequence the Zealandia will go out with every department in perfect working order. She is a sister ship to the Australia and should make good time between here and Australia. “Where is the schooner Lotus?”’ That is. the question that is troubling Captain Pearson. Last Wednesday he left the little craft tied up at Howard- street wharf, and next morning when he came back to the front the schooner was gone and not a trace of her has been found. During the night some one threw off the mooring lines and silently sailed away. Pearson is frantic over his loss, as the little vessel was his *‘all in all”’ and outside of her he has no means of earning a livelihood. The Lotus was formerly a sloop, but when Pearson bought her he turned her into a schooner. She has been engaged in trading around the bay, and has several times been engaged by duck- hunters to go to the Suisun marshes. She is well known from Vallejo to Alviso, and every boatman on the water front would recognize her a mile off. Nevertheless she has disappeared as completely as though she had been sunk to the bottom of the bay. The United States Fish Comm‘ssion steamer Albatross arrived vesterday morn- ing at 10 o’clock from Bering Sea. where she bas been investigating the fur-seal fishery in those waters. The vessel left this port January 5 having on board President Jordan of Stanford University, as well as Naturalist N. B. Miller of Washington, D. C. By the barkentine Tropic Bird, which arrived last evening from Papeeti, it is learned that the Nicaraguan brig Salvador came into that port November 2, sixty- seven days from Astoria bound for Callao. The vessel was leaking badly, having | been strained by the rough weather she | had encountered. Her deckload of lum- ber had been thrown overboard. She in- | tended to make the needed repairs and | proceed on her voyage to Callao, Peru. The Norwegian bark Fabez, from Syd- | ney, arrived in Papeete with a cargo of bardwood logs. She was in distress, hav- ing encountered severe gales and high seas. ) CEAT FOR EACH YENR The High School Girls Give a Social for the Tralning- Home. A Unique Gradation of the Prices of Admission—A Generous Sum Raised. The “middlers” of the Girls’ High School gave a merry reception and social yesterday afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock at their big brick dbuilding, corner of Geary and Scott strests. The young ladies very practically made business the prime ob- ject of the affair and charged an admis- sion fee, the sum total of which was pre- sented to the California Girls’ Training Home, located at 147 Natoma street. The method adopted was that each guest should pay upon entrance a cent for every year of hisor herage. With the boys the rates ranged from 2J to 25 cents. A gooa many whose appearance spoke of callow youth were beyond tlie last “‘teen’” milestone, but there was a monetary rtue in the deception and it passed with wner an easy scrutiny., ith the girls the rate ran lower, stand- ing at 15. As the doorkeepers were of that sex there was a strong disposition in many cases to question the age of the fair applicant for admission, but upon ma- turer reflection the calamity ¥as averted. The class officers of the ‘‘middlers’ are Miss Lillie E. McGill, president; Miss Claire Gossip, vice-president; reception committee—Miss Sadie Wangenheim, Miss E:hel Buneman; floor managers— ; com- mittee of arrangements—Camille Meyer, Annet Bennatt. During the reception the following Iliterary and musical pro- gramme was rendered: Musical selection, Miss E. Ross; recita- tion, Miss M. Muller; vocal solo, Miss I Wilbelm; piano selection, Miss G. Israel; recitation, Miss J. Seavey; vocalsolo, Miss H. Lask; recitation, Miss L. Dow: music by Randall’s Hungarian orchestra. Re- freshments were served to the guests at the close of the literary exercises. The Giris’ Training Home, for which the reception and entertainment were held, | contains twentv-nine inmates under the | care of Mrs. L. B. Fischer. A short time ago the senior class of the Giris’ High School gave a reception for the benefit of the institution which netted the home about $60. Mrs. Fischer received permission from the Board of Eaucation to visit the city schools and request the classes to get up entertainments of some simple character The Girls’ High School is the first place Mrs, Fischer bas gone to for this donation and a .gen- erous sum for the Home is the result. The girls of the High School have prom- ied to maintain at their own expense four rooms in the Home. B A Sea Otter Furs. United States District Judge Morrow yester- day gave s aecision in the case of C. F. Rydell aud a number of seamen of the steam schooner Hermean against the Pacific Trading Company. The men shipped on & sea otter hunting voyage and the catch was eighty- five sea otter furs. A dispute arose as to the amount of money due the men, who were to be paid according to the market price of the furs, The company heid that the furs were worth only $150 apiece, wniie the men con- tended that they should be peid on a basis of $200 per pelt and that this figure was the cur- rent price. Judge Morrow spiit the difference and directed that each man be paid his pro- portion of & lay of $175, which he held was the market pri —_———— Fell From a Scaffold. 0. Anderson, & painter, fell from a scaffold- ing at 337 Mississippi street, between Sacra- mento and Californis, yesterday, owing to a loosening of his fal's, and received two scalp wounds, an abrasion of the left wrist and a sprained anklo. His wounds were treated at zKa Receiving Hospital. F, W, DAVIS AND HIS TWO YOUNG WIVES Judge Hebbard’s Lament- able Error Finally Corrected. Declared, by Default, the Annul- ment of a Leagal Marriage. Shown That the Husband Was Over 18 Years of Ag: When Hs Was First Wedded. Judge Hebbard yesterday presented F. ‘W. Davis with one more wife than is usu- ally regarded as necessary for an ordinary citizen. Mr. Davis was already living with one good woman in Santa Rosa, and evidently did not wish to be burdened with another, but the court did not think that the young husband had legally freed himself from his first matrimonial alliance before entering into the second, and that is why consternation reignsin the Davis househo!d. Attorney W. W. Davidson, representing Mrs. Mae Davis, the first wife, brought up the record to show the following siate of facts: F. W. Davis and Mae Davis were | married in San Diego in September, 1894, and went to Los Angeles, where he de- serted her a few weeks later. She was in destitute circumstances, and was be- iriended by the ladies of the Women’s Chbristian Temperance Uniion and was as- sisted in her desire to return to her par- ents in San Diego. Davis returned to the northern part of the State and in April of this year his mother brought snit in his name and her own against Mae Davis to have the mar- riage annulled, alleging that her son was less than 19 years oid, and as she had not given her consent she alleged that the marriage was null and void. Mrs. Mae Davis and her parents were too poor to employ a lawyer, so the case was allowed to go against them by default on the 29th of Iast May. On the 5th of | June following Judge Hebbard entered a decree declaring the marriage annulled. Subsequently Davis nfarried a worthy young woman 1n Santa Rosa, in this 1n- stance taking the precaution to secure his mother’s consent and approval. When the matter was drawn to Judge Hebbard’s attention yesterday he seemed | to be greatly surprised to learn that he had made so grievous an error as tode- | clare annulled a legal marriage; an error | that forever clouds the lives of two women | and one man, though the man may not be | held entirely blameless unless he pleaded | that in what he did he was swayed by the | indiscretions of youth. Attorney Davidson stated the matter very clearly. He said it was admitted that Davis was only a few days over 18 years of age at the time of the marriage and that his parents had not assented to the same, but contended that this did not constitute & marriage that could be annulled, The statute declares expressly that the age of legal consent for a male is 18 years, and that in the event of a male marrying before attaining that age the marriage may be annutled. If that age has been reached then the matrimonial ties may be severed only by a divorce secured in the usual lezal manner and for statutory rea- sons. In support of this position, the provisions of the code and many Supreme Court decisions were cited. So thoroughly convinced was Judge Hebbard of the wrong ne had done to Mrs. Mae Davis that he vacated the order ot default that had been entered against her, and on application of her attorney dismissed the suit on the grounda that Davis beinz over 18 years of age at the time of ihe marriage the court had no jurisdiction in a suit to annul the mar- riage. $ However much Judge Hebbard may re- gret the lamentable muddle in which the affairs of the Davis tamiiy have become involved because of his inadvertent act in granting annulment of & legal marriage itis sufe to say thatthis regret is more than doubled by the deserted wife in San Diego, as well as by the lady in Santa Rosa who became Dayvis’ second vife un- der the impression that he was legally freed from his first marriage and presum- ing, as she thought she hnfl right to pre- sume, that Judge Hebbard knew what he was doing when he ordered the annuj- ment of that marriage. “Davis has no ground for divorce from his tirst wife, Mrs. Mae Davis, and she has a legal right to claim him as her hus- band,” said Attorney Davidson. “I don’t know what she intends 1o do in the prem- ises. She has the privilege of suing for a divorce and alimony, or for permanent maintenance, or she may condone bhis act«.. That 1s a matter for her own a cision.” g A letter was recently received from England stating that Davis had failen heir to £60,000 by the death of an uncle. CBRISTMAS SERVIOE. Church of the Holy Spirit Preparing for Appropriate Celebration. The Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, Rey. Oliver C. Miller, Jackson street, near Buchanan, is preparing for an enjoyable Christmas for the congregation and the Sunday-school, both of which are grow- ing. The comwunion last Sunday was the most impressive and largest in the history of the mission. The church, beginning with nothing a year ago, has been sustained without any unseriptural means for raising money. Entire.y by voluntary contributions ‘a neat little chapel has been ntted up, and juone of the services omitted from the \fuily ren beginning, the pastor being in his pulpit every Sunday since the first service in November, 1895. There are now more than forty communicants, two beiag added last Sunday. The aavent season will be observed, and to-morrow the theme of the morning ser- mon will be *“‘Advent Hearts.” DEATH IN MANY FORMS. Coroner Hawkins Held Half a Dozen Inquests Yesterday. The Coroner held several inquests yes- terday in cases where people have met with violent deaths. Two verdicts were returned in the case of J. G. Cavanaugh of 864}¢ Howard street, who on the 7th inst. died from a fractured skull, caused by being run down by a Mission-street electric- car on Mission street, near Army. C. M. Daiss and W. Luchman, while exonerating the motorman from all blame, censured the railroad company for not providing better and safer fenders. The other jury- men simply récommended that the cars be provided with safer fenders. A verdict of suicide was returned in the case of Mrs. Judkins, also known as Lizzie Emerson, of 17 Stockton street, who died from taking morphine on December 6. A similar verdict was rendered in the case of Harry Thompson, an actor, who, on the 6:h inst., ended his life by taking morphine in a salogn at the Ocean beach. On‘the 4th inst. the body of Daniel Shea of 102 Filth street was recovered from the bay at the foot of Fourthstreet. His rela- tives believed that he was robbed and murdered and his pody thrown into the bay, The jury decided that the man was drowned, but that they could not tell under what circumstances. Kee Jing of 828 Jackson street took an overdose of morphine on the 10th, but the jury could not decide whether it wasa case of suicide or accident. A verdict of accidental death was given in the case of J. T Flahiff of 536 Bryant street. rlahiff wasa railroad switchman and on the night of November 28 he was run over by a freight train, and died the next morning in St. Mary’s Hospital. On the 9th inst. Miss Hephzebah Robbs, a lady’s maid in the Hotel Richelieu, jamped from a thirdsstory window while suffering from temporary insanity caused by religious excitement. The jury’s verdict was suicide while temporarily insane. Last week Tomi Fujisawa, a Japanese, living at 3573, Minna street, committed suicide by hanging himself to a rafter. A verdict to this effect was given. DEFEQTIVE OOMPLA}NTB. J. F. Smith and Paul Avheuns Escape on a Technicality. Judge Wallace has sustained thedemur- rers in the cases of J. F. Smith and Paul Ayhens, who stood charged with perjury, and the accusations against them were thrown out of court. The point made by Atto rneys Guilfoyle and Dunne was that the information filed by the District Attorney was not gram- matically worded and did npt specifically set forth that the defendants nhad really committed the crime of perjury in swear- ing that the names on Cal Ewing's nomi- nating petition, under the Australian bal- lot law, were genuine, Judge Wallace asked that ail the papers be submitted to his inspection, and after careful scrutiny announced that he con- sidered the point well taken, that the in- formations were fatally defective, and or- deéed the defendants discharged from cus- tody. ————————— A Quartz Mill Action. An action has been begun in the United States Circuit Court by the Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works against L. C. Trent of Salt Lake for infringing upon the patent of an ore- crusher known as the Bryan Roller Quartz Mill. The Risdon people lay claim to the petent by reason of its assignment by the in- ventor, August H. Schierholz. The action is one in equity, in which a permanent injunc- tion is asked to prevent Trent from the further manufacture and sale of the ore- crusher. Damages are also asked. ————.— A. L. Stetson’s Estate. Judge Coffey made an order yesterday allow- ing Dr. P.'J. H. Farrell $150 for attending the late A. L. Stetson at the time of his death and allowed Dr. Terrill $75 for services performed at the same time. Attorney Wheeler informed the court that Mr. Stetson's estate will not be over $1000 in value and that there are bills outstanaing greatly in excess of that amount. — e e NEW TO-DA’ TEE NEW Orchestral Regina!

INDICTMENTS ON THE SECRET FILE Grand Jury Reports One for Larceny Against Frank Farragh. Max and Meyer Livingston Ia- d-cted for Perjury—Bench Warrants Issued. Farragh Is Accused of Taking Nine Hundred Dollars From Lach- m~n & Jacobi. The Grand Jury yesterday afternoon held one of those mysterious sessions that people read about. Captain Spillane was there as mum as an oyster. Harry Reynolds of the police force was as quiet as & clam, and Detective Crocker seemed oppressed by the possession of a great secret. J. Jacob Jacobi of the house of Lachman & Jacobi was one of the wit- nesses. E. S. Ciprico superintendent for Lachman & Jacobi, was another witness, and there were others. Harry Reynolds was rsent downstairs for a package of edged tools, and the im- plements were duly exhibited to the Grana Jury. Word was sent out by the Deputy Sheriff for Judge Slack to wait, as the jury bad an important communication for the court. Word came back that Judge Slack was downtown and that Judge Heb- bard would receive the report. In due time the jurors went into court. Indict- ments were filed against Meyer and Max Livingston for perjury in connection with The testimony which led up to these indictments was fully published in last Saturday’s CALL. The third indictment, about which: there was such a thick cloak of secrecy, was against Frank Darragh for grand larceny. The case was in the Police Court last Octobér, and did not stagger the public by its imporiance. The simple story is that Frank Darragh is accused of stealing $900 from the tirm of Lachman & Jacobi. He was indicted, and Judge Hebbard, who was told by Assist- ant District Attorney Peixotto that the re- porters were vresent, directed the indict- ments to be placed on the secret file. A bench warrant was issued for each person indicted and bail in each case fixed at $3000. i Krank Darragh is supposed to be living in Berkeley. During the six or seven suspicious postponements of his case he has not deemed 1t expedient to change his residence, put an apprehension was expressed that he might skip out if he was advised by the newspapers that the Grand Jury was after him. Witnesses testified yesterday that money was drawn from the bank by the firm of Lachman & Jacobi for the purpose of pay- ing employes in the winehouse and cooper- shop. One sack containing $900 was placed in a commode or stand resting against the artition of the office. It is surmised that arragh cut a hole in the partition a day or two before the money was placed in the commode, and at the moment of opportu- nity grabbed the sack. The Health Department Committee of the Grand Jury—A. E. Drucker, W. F. Mau and Richard Pecht—recently paid a visit to the Pesthouse. Grand Jury expe- ditions to this institution are like angels’ visits, shortand bright and few and far be- tween. The finalreport of the present Grand Jury may be submitted to Judge Slack a day or two before Christmas. Committees are now engaged in preparing their reports. A MISUNDERSTANDING. Suit Against Mrs. Theodore Sutro of New York by a Local Physician Dismissed. About a month ago an article appeared in THE CALL, to the effect that Dr. Louis Bezet of this City had begun suit against Florence Clinton Sutro, the wife of Theo- dore Sutro of New York. It seems that the action was begun through a misunderstanding, and a dis- missal of it has since been filed. —————— ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
