ITCHING HUMORS “%iie, Hisrstes ALMOST BURIED IN TONS OF FLOUR Eight Men on the T. C Walker Experience a Very Dusty Time. The Vessel Struck a Sandbank and the Sacks Were Throwa to Port. A Horse Caught in the General Mix- Up Escaped Without Any L jury. Eight men had a narrow escape for their lives on the river steamer T. C. Walker last Saturday night. The vessel was on her way from Stockton to San Francisco and in the dark ness the captain mistook a beacon and ran into a mud bank. Two hundred tons of flour in 100- | pound sacks was thrown to port and two | of the men were buried and a horse that | was en route to Ingleside was so tangled | up that he could not get his feot free from the mass of clinging flour. For a time pandemonium reigned, and between the | neighing of the unfortunate horse and the | screams of the men who were under the | flour the deckhands lost their heads and | there was almost a panic aboard. ! The T. C. Walker teft Stockton with a very heavy cargo last,Saturday afternoon. She was loaded down with flour for the Pacific Mail Company's steamer Pern, which leaves for China next Thursday, nd Captain Benson was anxious to get here on time in order to get his cargo aboard. The Walker had an extra crew aboard and consequently there were no bertns for the men who came aboard at tke last minute. *Billy” Farrell, *Pat’’ Dunning, “Mike” Dooley, *“Dan” O'Connor, L. H. Bevis, Willlam ton and “Pete” Cour- neen made their beds among the flonr. When the Walker struck the bank the flour feil on the sleeping men and almost vuried the horse, All that could be seen of Dooley was his head and the only thing that let the remainder of the ship’s crew know that Karrell was alive was a wiggling foot that stuck out between two sacks of flour. The other men could not be seen, but in a few minutes the sacks of flour were re- moved and all and sundry were rescued. The only man injured was Farrell, and he was sent to the hospital. His face was badiy scraped and his right side bruised to such an extent that it will_be months before he can work egain. The Walker has still a big list to_port, and it will be late this afternoon before she is on an even keel again, Daring his siruggles to get free the horse ruined quite a number of sacks of the flour that somebody will have to pay for. Tt was reception diy on the Oregon yes- terday, and the men had more than usual liberty. Ensign Durell was officer of the v, and hie saw to it that while the men d “*just so much liberty’ there was enj “no nse.”’ Every member of the crew was allowed to bave his “sweetheart or} ’aboard, and as they brought their friends with tbem tne decks of the big battle ship were thronged. Munv of the visitors brougbt musical instruments with them, and the strains of the “Star Spangled Banner” and “Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot’ could be heard from forecastle and cabn. On the main deck the men and their sweethearts had a quiet littie dance, but of course it was sub rosa, and the sailors think all the more of their officers because they “looked the ofher way'’ when the dance was going on. A cleaner or more orderly set of men Uncle Sam has never sent out than the crew that mans the Oregon. There is & big gap between the Oregon and Comanche. The former isan up-to- date battle-ship and the latter is an obso- lete monitor. £he is now being nsed as a training-ship for the Naval Battalion incidentally as a dovecote for the Mare and carrier pigeons. For use in war time the carriers are now being trained, and as a preliminary they are to be flown daily between Mare Island snd the Comanche. The dovecote on the latter is {labeled Constellation, and the one on the island is marked Hartford. The care takers on the Comanche assert that the pigeons sboard their vessel can beat telegraph time easily. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Zea- landia and the Pacific Mail Company’s Peru botn sail for Honoluiu next Thurs- day. The former will continue on her way to Australasia, and the latter will go to the Orient. The Peru is in_splendid running order, and the Zealandia has not been overhauled for many months. Ney- ertheless (he betting is that the Zealandia will beat the Peru to Honoiniu. Both vessels have very popular officers in ail the departments, 'so it remains to be seen which will carry the bulk of the Honolulu passengers. WITH THE PLAYERS. What There Is. Offered for the Lovers of Amusement Who Wish to Visit Theaters To-Night. To-night Denman Thompson will appear at the Baldwin Theater in the famous play “The 0ld Homestead,” that natural presentation of New England life, which has been played time and again, but which, like some well-known opéras, never grows oid. At the Columbia er Joe Murphy, the old-time San Francisco favorite, will again present “Shaun Rhue,” fn which he has achieved a great success, and he will sing his world-famous song, “A Handful of Earth.” He will be supported by a strong company. ““A Serious Tangle,” which has been desig- nated as a play that is a “whirlwind of laugh- ter,” will be presented at_the Alcazar Theater to-night, with George Osbourne and Hugo To- land in 'the cast. 1his will be preceded by *Dream Faces,” a comeditta. *‘In the Name of the Czar,” a Russian melo- drama with an American &s well as a Russian Bero, ana which is not the same as ““By Order of the Czar,” will be presented atthe Grand Opera-Li to-night.” Leslie Morosco will take the part of the American hero. “Jack and the Beanstalk” will be repeated at the Tivoll Opera-house this evening, with the same cast that produced jt last week. The comicalities of this aggregation of songs, dia- logues and costumes has caught on with the patrons of this house, Six new vaudeville celebrities will eppesr at tne Orpheum this evening in conjunction with the Kiralfy ballet and nerial ballet.” The two Bostons witn their trained animais will furmsh laughter for all and Miss Annie Cald- well, comedienne, w vear. The enimatiscope, which shows striking Ife-like pictures every quarter of an hour, will be in Operation at the Chutes this even- ing and there will be a number of attractions in addition to the others that draw people to that place.

This evening he will give another exhibiti 1is wonderal skill {n thet line. e sy Horrr's School, at Burlingame, will reopen January 5, Address Ira G. Hoitt, Ph,D, i — When the T. C. Wa'ker Struck a Mud Bank in the San Joaquin River Last Saturday Night There Was Trouble. Over a Hundred Tons of Flour Shifted Its Base and Eight Men Were Buried. A Racchorse Was Caught in the General Wreck, and He Made Things Lively. Of the Men All That Could Be Seen When the Rescuers Went to Work Was a Foot and a Head, The Foot Told All and Sundry That the Man to Which It Was Attached Was Still Alive. The Head Spoke for Itself. HASKELL BLEW UP His Petard Hoisted Some Bright Engineers of the Party. The Victims Consider That Their Disaster Means the Disrup- tion of the Cause. Some of the Growlings in Detail That Issue From the Camp of ths Discomfited. Burnette G. Haskell's bomb exploded Satarday night at the meeting of the Populist County Committee, and the fragments of those who were hoisted by the petard were tumbling to earth yester- day, emitting angry howls and snarlings in their fall. Haskell has succeeded in retiring such old-timers in the party as E. 8. Barney, Dr. George W. Daywalt, Taylor Rogers, George D. Gillespie, T. V. Cator, Joseph Asbury Johnson and John C. Gore, as well as a few others, and they do not pro- pose to submit to the ordeal without ex- pressing their 1deas upon the involuntary and rather unceremonious shake-up to which they were subjected. “No, we were not read out of the party. They would not dare do that!” is the general and individual expression. *But there is no gainsaying that Burnette G. Haskell has captured the works. “He is a gifred fellow,” stated J. A. Johuson yesterday. *‘He is piausible and I doubt if there is a more competent man for organization or manipulation of par- ties, conventions or committee - in these United States. Buu he is the last man on earth to stand up and preach righteous- ness and utmost rectitude of thought as one wno has never committed a blunder.” Mr. Jchnson and J. C. Gore, the deposed treasurer, appear to be of the opinion that the Haskell coup d’etat will have a nefarious and widespread effect on the party 1n the State—maybe giving it its deathblow. “Although I do not see how the vote could be segregated, it was given out a 21,000 in this State at the recent elections, said Mr. Johnson. ‘‘As a matter of fact, I have learned trom people of our pariy from all over California, that some 60,000 votes were cast b{{ Populists, a third of which went to the Repub'icans.” In summing up their judgment in the matter, both Johnson and Gore agreed that the 2,000,000 votes claimed by the Populists in the United States were greatly made up of Republican suffrage-men, who for one cause or another quit their party for the new one, but who returned to the Republican banner when the Populistsde- cided to fuse with the hated Democracy. Those who were ousted from the local organization claim that the animus of the scheme that left them stranded was not so much that they were fusionists, because they had fought against fusion to the last, and only agreed to it when it was warmly indorsed by B. G. Haskell, but that Has- kell wanted complete ccntrol of the com- mittee. Under the party machinery the consti- tution and organization ia this City is the Assembly district delegate system, Has- kell’s activity and suave manner, as well as hisassumed unctuousness, have prac- tically enabled him to control clubs. He sees leaders and sends in the names of only those whoare “right” sofar as he is _concerned as delegates to the County Committee. No delegates can be admitted to the County Committee excepting by vote of the committer; hence, any gentleman of character and standing, whose influence would be detrimental to the Haskell schemes and those of his confederates, would not be admitted to a seat in the committee. A year hence, when the campaign opens for 1898, the Haskell element wiil be in control of the party organization, and of course will control the nominating con- vention. For this reason it may properly be assumed thar Haskell has ostracized the conservative element of the party. The vote ai Saturday night's meeting was simply astounding, Those who are ow on the outside of the fence eall it w,” in the political vernacular. The word “slate’’ was used also, and for verifi- cation they point to the tally sheet. There were forty-two votes cast. Just prior to polling the votes, Haskell and his henchmen were active passing around lists on which were printed the names of the members of the executive committee that were elected by an overwhelming | vote. THE POPULISTS In the case of Treasurer Gore, the man who pulled the committee out of a $100 indebtedness, he was the only nomination presented for re-election at the last con- vention. Suddenly, at the eleventh hour on Saturday night, the name of J. H. Ting- man was circuiated on the slated list. He received 33 votes against only 9 yotesTor Gore. Tingman has been the treasurer of the Parity of Election "Committee, and he should have turned over his accounts Sat- urday night to the committee showing the disposition of funds he had received and disbursed. This was omitted according to slated instructions, and will have to be done next Saturday night, when a general how! is expected to go up. The howl, however, will come in thenature of a post- mortem, Tingm:n baving already been elected to the office of treasurer. Tingman, his friends say, can show a perfect balance when required. All these things will be gone into next Saturday, when ex-Treasurer Gore will also present his report, accompanied by indiviaual remarks upon the dutiesofa treasurer that are calculated to. burn the ears of some of his listeners. CARNIVAL. WILL SUCOEED. Many Soeial Organizations Will Par- t'cipate in the Festivities. Fach day brings new evidences shat the Carnival of the Golden Gate, which be- gins on April 19, will be a great success. Corresponding Secretary Fisher has been busy for several weeks sending letters to various organizations thought to be eligible to partake in the week of festivi- ties. Replies have been received from many societies, and the secretary says he now has assurance that there will be a success. The following is a copy of the letter sent to every social organization in the City Saturday: The executive committee of the Carnival of the Golden Gate has prepared an elaborate programme for a week of jestivities, com- mencing Enster Monday, April 19, 1897, In order to make it an unqualified success. we need the co-operation of all citizens and organized bodles. The features of the various days which have already been outlined, we have every confidence will be fully carried out, To do this properly, we request the) assistance of your organization. On special days, manster processions will be the features. In these processions we desire to incorporate the manufacturing, commercial and fraternal interests of the City and State. Your organization has an object. representing this idea would undoubtedly attract marked attention. We desire that each organization should appoint one or more representatives with whom the executive com- mittee cou.d confer, and through whom ail dealings with the organisation might be oarried on without loss of time. If you wiil kindly designate such representatives and send their names to headquarters et as early a date as possible, you would greatly expedite the work of the execulive Committee. Re- spectfully, R. H. WARFIELD, President. 8. H. FRIEDLANDER, Carnival Director. HE WS OILY A CAPPLE, Eddie Gray Arrested for Board- ing a Car to Sell Papors, Captain Spillane and His Officers Add Charity to tae Law’s D:mands. Eddie Gray, a newsboy aged 15 years, with a sick father and no motker and a cripple at that, boarded an electric-car on Third street, -at the depot, yesterday morning, to serve a prospective customer. Unfortunately for the crippled newsboy, Special Officer H. Smith, who is in the de- tective service of the Southern Pacific, observed him get on the car and in a moment the special officer had the news- boy by the collar, Without further cere- mony he took the boy off to the Southern police station, where he asked Prison- keeper T. R. Judson to book him and lock him up.. Judson looked at the boy and then cast his eye on the big burly special before he booked & charge of vidlating a City ordi- nance against the little offender.” Then instead of locking him up Judson seated him before the office stove, sent out for some coffee and bread and made the news- boy as comfortable as he could until the arrival of Captain Spillane and Lieutenant Dan Hanna at 12 o'clock. The nature of the arrest was explained to those officials, when Captain Spillane released the boy on his own recognizance, and told him to report at t..e Central sta- tion this morning, when his appearance will be necessary belore one of the Police Judees. But béfore leaving the Southern station both Spillane and Hanna, with the cheerful assistance of the officers on station duty, presented the newsvoy with sufficient silver to buy himself and his father their breakfast. | | | THE S, P, LOOKING AT BANDSBURG H. E. Huntington Visits the Big Mining Camp in the Desert. Has an Engineer With Him to Figure on Grade and Cost. There May Be a Race Between the A, and P and S. P. to First Rezach the Ground. There may be a race between the Atlan- tic =nd Pacific and-the Southern Pacific to get into Randsburg. H. E. Huntington with a partv of rail- road men, among whom was Assistant Engineer P. Gelette, has been looking over the ground during the past week. The party drove over from Mojave a few days ago in a rig, a distance of sixty miles, and remained there to study the situation. Mr. Huntington gave his at- tention to the mines. It was his desire to get at the stability of the propusition; whether or not the mines are likely to Igst, and, so, whether it is wortp while to build the road or not. It was the business of Mr. Gelette to look to grades and the best route in, in case it was found to be worth while. The miners undertook to prove to Mr. Huntington that Randsburg is the big- gest and most substantial mining propo- sition in the country—that it will prove a second Cripple Creel. The speculationy, therefore, of Mr. Ge- A float | lette and the railroad builders become in- teresting. Randsburg stands at an eleva- tion of 3750 feet; a rangze of mountains with sharp ascents lie to the west of it, toward Mojave. The line, according to Mr. Geleite, would have to be run north- ward- to Garlock to avoid grades, and thence southwest through a pass to Randsburg, a distance, aliogether, of sixty miles. Garlock is located au a height of 2350, or 1400 lower than Randsburg, and fifteen miles away, The engineer says the road can be built with no extraordicary xpense. F. 8. Minnot, a lawyer of Coos Bay, hag just returned from Randsburg on his way home and is stopping at the Lick House. He saw the Huntington party in Rands- burg. He says their visit was a matter of | interest to the miners. The Atlantic and Pacific, he says, has decided to build from Cramer, a station twenty-eight miles south of Randsburg. The intention is, on their part, to stop at Johannesburg, a small town recently started about a mile south of Randsburg. “Randsburg,”’ said Mr. Minnot yes- terday, ‘bas now about 3000 people, and new comers are going in at the rate of about fifty a day. ~There is no doubt that the country is to be a good and lasting one. To be sure, the full test has not been put to it yet, but_every indication points that way. The group of mines known as the Rand mines have made big yieids and the further they go the betier they pan out—I mean all the mines in the district. The Olympus, the principal of the Rand mines, has been sunk 156 fzet and $60,000 has been taken out, more than enough to pay all the expense of opening and work- ing the shaft. “The Butts mine bas yielded up $28,000. The Wedge mine, sunk 120 feet, has yieldea $20,000. One man has employed boys to scour the hills and gather what they call float, a quartz iound on the sur- face, He sends this to the mills at Gar- lock and it yields a good profit. There are several stamp mills at Garlock. There is no doubt that the region ig very rich and TJook for it to deyelop into 8ne of the great if not the greatest mining camp in the country.” * Mr. Minnot was teken with the gold fever and went to Randsburg in the early rush. He staked out a claim which he thinks will yield good money, bat is con- tent to leave it alone for a while. Hesays there are more men and mines in the region than there is capital. What is needed is capital to develoo. Nemosis of Spiritualism. Dr. de Forrest of Boston will lecture to-night in Metropolitan Temple against spiritualism. The lecturer, who h been called the “Nemesis of §piritualism,” has challenged any medium to meet him on the platform o-night and fimdn«o any manipulation that he cannot duplicate, ENVELOPED IN A GLEAM OF LIGHT While the Organ Pealed Forth “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The Passing of J. Ross Jackson, Journalist, Bohemian and Every One’s Friend. Roses From Mrs. Jackson and Their Daughtsr Repised on the Breast of the Dead Journalist. The remains of J. Ross Jackson, the widely known journalist and club man, were cremated at 2 o’clock yesterday after- noon at the Oad Fellows’ Cemetery amid a gathering of a few of his particular friends. The incineration was impressive and was carried forward with tbe greatest reverence. At a few minutes after 2 o’clock Mr. Fletcher, the superintendent of the cemetery, called Judge W. P. Law- lor, C. M. Coe, the president of the Press Club, and Superior Judge J. C. B. Heb- bard to identily the body. Then it was prepared for the end. In the winding-sheet which enfolded the body was a bunch of white ros placed there by Mrs. Jackson, and also a bunch of white flowers which had been sent by his only daughter, Mrs. Carrie Raffael. The veteran newspaper man appeared as though sleeping as he lay in his white shroud. His face was peaceful and tran- quil, and be seemed to rest well after the long struggie, during which he bad bravely fought to conceal his suffering. Every one who bad seen him before, as be lay in the bier, was struck with the Inok of caim repose upon his face. The witnesses retired into the little chapel-like place near at hand, where the other frienas were gathered, and where on one side is the entrance to the super- heated retort. A few seats fill one side of this room, and there the ladies and gen- tlemen were waiting. Then there was a gleam of light as the door of the retort swang open, and the body of the journal- ist, enveloped in white, disappeared like a flash in the grave of fire. At the same instant there came pealing from the organ in the sanctuary above the solemn and impressive chords of “Nearer, My God, to Thee.”” It was, as one who heard it said, almost heavenly. The effect was as beautiful as the flash of the disappearing body had been dra- matic. No one there ever forget the scene. Among those who had come out to wit- ness the cremation were the following: Superior Judge J. C. B. Hebbard, Mrs. Hebbard, Supertor Judge Hunt, W. P. Lawior, C. M. Coe, John J. Raffael. John Walden, John W. Willis, Mrs. A, T. Dob- son, F. 8. Myrter, Heory M. Whitely, Ernest Hacquette. Several ladies, some of whom were friends and acquaintances of the family, who kad come on their 6wn accord, were readily admitted by Judge Lawlor. customary in such cases, the ket NEW TO-DAY.
