From Of Sausalito the Tide Carried Them Down to Lime Point. The Women Were Rescued by the Steamer Sco'ia, but the Men Stayed by the Boat. Two men and two women had a lively time of 1t1n a plunger last Monday night. The wind died out and the tide taking command carried the boat down to Lime Point. There the anchor was dropped, and luskily it held. Night began to fall and the boatmen werein a predicament. Just how to get their female companions back to Sausalito they did not know. Finally one of the men suggested rowing the women ashore in a little dingey that was towing behind the plunger, and then they could walk home or stay all night at | the fog station. The attempt was made, but it only ended in the women getting thoronghly drenched in the breakers and the boat almost capsizing. The return to the boat was made without any mishap, and then all four began watching for an incoming vessel. Several were hailed but did not heed the signals. Avout 6 P. M. the Scotia from Albion hove in sight and Captain Johnson at once stopped his ves- sel in answer to the frantic cries of the terror-stricken women. The little dingey was again put into requisition and the two women were put aboard the steam schooner. The man went back to the plunger and the women were landed at Mission-swreet wharf in time to catch the last boat for Sausalito. The plunger re- mained at anchor off Lime Point until the tide turned and then she was sailed back to her rezular anchorage. “All I couid gather from the two ladies,”’ said Captain Johnson, “was that they were beguiled into_an atterpt at sailing | from: Sausalito to San Francisco i of taking the regular boat. When I p them up they were half dead with the cold and both were in tears. The men | preferred to remain by their boat and would not accept a tow.”’ SAUSALITO, Jan. 5—Mrs. Mary and M nnie Tarshea were | a1l in a small sloop by a couple of men yesterday. ‘The intention was to finally reach San Francisco, but the wind died out and the beat was car- ried by the current down to Lime Point, where the anchor was dropped. After eight bours of misery the women were finally rescued by the steamer Scotia and 1aken to San Francisco. Tbe young men brought the sloop back to Sausalito early this morning, wet, hungry, tired and dis- goested. Tne sloop was a borrowed one and the names of the men cannot be learned to-night. friends of Captain George ere more than pleased to see town again yesterday.

Trask, a_weli-inown San Francisco ship-owner, is dying to-night at Good Samaritan Hospital as the resuit of a paralytic stroke sustained yesterday in | court, where he was listening to evidence in a suit against him by J. R. Kelly for breach of contract to purchase the ship James Nesmith. Hospital surgeons do not expect the veteran capiain to live un- til morning. He nas been unconscious | most of the time since he was removed to ihe hospital aud bas scarcely recognized a | lifelong friend, F. M. Gilmore. Captain Trask’s brother was stricken in the same way oniy last Thursday in San Francisco. The captain was a native of Maine and came to California in the 50’s.

The Mission Five-Mile Improvement Club held its first meeting of the year at Liguri Hall, corner of Mission street and China avenue, Monday evening. Several important propositicns came up forconsid- eration. E. Lewis, chairman of the schoclhouse committee, reported that no progress had been made in the matter as nothing could be done with the old School Board. It was decided to take vigorous action in petitioning the new board for this mucu- needed improvement, and a committee was appoiniea to bring the subject before | that body in the persons of Messrs. Lewis, Gilfeather and Torelio. As chairman of the committee ap- nrointed to interview the directors of the Soring Valley Water Company, Mr. Lewis reported that the company had agreed to iay water-mains out Mission street as far as China avenue. The mains are even now being laid, and the work will be com- pieted in two weeks. The committee on constitutien and by- laws, composed of M. H. Levy (chairman), F. J. Gilleather and E. Lewis, handed in COLONEL JOHN TUTTLE, Commander George H. Thomas Post No. 2, G. A. R, Tuttle was in all the bloody battles from the Wilderness to Five Forks in the cam- paign of 1864-65. John Tuttle was born in London, On- tario, Aypril 11, 1843. Beginning with 1856 heengaged with hus father in farming and brickmaking in Wabasha, Minn , un:il his country called for volunteers io deiend the Union. After being mustered out in 1865 he went into the milling and lumber business in Menominee, Wis. In 1874 he removed to San Francisco, and with bis brother, A. J. Tuttle, entered and remained in the brick business twelve years, after which e went into his present business, Colonel Tuttle is also a member of Pacific Lodge No. 136, F. and A. M.; of Fidelitv Lodge, A. 0. U. W.; of Fideiity Lodge, K. of H.; of the Veteran Guard of California and of the Builders’ Exchange. He way also a member of the irans-Mississippi Congress, Lieutenant-Colonel J. Murray Bailey, who is an expert mining engineer, is the new_senior_vice-commander. He was in the Eighth New York Heavy Artillery,or the oid One Hundred and Twenty-ninth New York Infantry, Hancock’s €econd Army Corps. His regiment lost 361 men killed in battle and 1010 tctal killed and wounded. As a regimental organization it stands first in the State of New York and second in the United States for losses of men in battle. It is high on the list of the 300 fighting regiments of the war. Senior Vice-Com- mander Bailey was discharged from the army April 3, 1865, on account of gunshot wounds received in action. He was badly wounded in the bloody battles around Richmond_and is a United States. pen- sioner for disabilities thenreceived. The other officers installed and the regi- ments in which they served are: Major K. Wiegand, junior vice-commander, 8ev- enty-ifth Pennsylvania Infantry; Major its report. The purpose of the club was stated to be to secure needed improvement for that region bonnded by the Mission road, Holly Park, University street and the County line, and embraces the Spring Valley, College and Excelsior homesteads. The constitution and by-laws were adopted unanimously as read. Dr. Charles A. Clinton was notified since the last meeting that he had been elected an honorary memtver of the club. This was reported by the secretary. Dr. E. N. Torelio was elected by ac- clamation to succeed himself as president of the club, and gracelully thanked his fellow-members for the honor conferred on him. Other officers were elected as follows: Vice-president, H. Doyal; recording secretary, M. H. Levy; financial secretary, F. J. Giifeather; treasurer, R. Cereghino. An executive committee was elected by acclamaiion in the persons of T. H. Roberts, William Loegemann, O. Herzog and R. Anzel. The cheir was empowered to apnoint committees of three on 'sewers, the cross- ing at Islais Creek and fire and poiice pro- tection. They will be permanent and will not be appointed without due delibera- tion. Mr. Lewis made a speech on the ques- tion of the pound limit. He claimed that the pound limit should be extended to Ocean View, as the curs now wander around among the residences and are a nuisance, as well as aangerous ‘to the lives of small children. A spirited discussion resulted in Messrs. Lewis, Roberts and Christoffel being ap- pointed a committee of three to interview the proper authoritiesand see if the pound limit could not be extended. F. J. Gilfeatber, H. E. Doyal, E. Lewis, J. W. Warden and E. N, Torello were lected 1o represent the club as delegal to the Association of Improvement Clubs. AFTER THE MUSIC THERE WAS WAR Thomas Paul, a Young Man, Accused of Grand Larceny. Joseph F. Perini, a Ritch-Street Greeer, the Complaining W.taess. Perini Charges Paul With Stealing a Box Containicg Coin and Arti- cles of Valu:. Joserh F. Periny, a grocer, at 310 Ritch street, gave a musical pariy and reception on New Year's night, and a large number of friends availed themselves of the op- portunity to spend a pleasant time, Among the guests was Thomas Paul, a young man woo was paying his addresses | to a niece of the host, and bad for a few months taken charge of the grocery during Perini's illpess. The party was a great success, but next morning Perini was thrown into a state of wild excitement by discovering that a box containing his bankbook, $223 coin, several nuggets of gold and other valuable articles had been stolen. The box was kept in a secret place in a small room off the kitcnen anl its pres- ence there was only known to Perini and his family. It suddenly dawned upon him that Paul also knew where the box was kept, as he had deposited his money in it while employed in the store during his iliness. His suspicions fell upou Paul and he notified the Southern polics sta- | tion, Policemen T. L. Ryan and O'Dea were detailed on the case and Saturday Paul was arrested and locked up in ‘‘the tanks” vpending further developments. Monday tie box was returned, to Perini by a messenger-boy, who said he brought it from the Louvre saloon on O’Farrell street, where a man gave it to him with nstructions to rake it to Perini's resi- dence. The boy departed and Perini hastily examined thbe contents of the box and found that the money was $45 short. Rysn and O'D2a bave been making every effort to find the messenger-boy, but so far without success, as he might give them a clew to the man who gave him the box. Perini yesterday morning swore to a complaint iu Judge Joachimsen’s court charging Paul with grand larceny, and last night the charge Was bookea against him. Perini claims he can prove that Paul was seen :tealthily going through the kitchen to the room where the box was kept and that he stole it. Paul has a different story totell. He says: I was invited 10 the party and went. I was never out of the room where the guests were oll the time I was there except tor a minute or two, but I did not go into the room where the box was kept. I knew it was kept there when I was working in the grocery, but that was some months ago. *“When I left the house that night Peri- ni's niece saw me to the door and I kissed her gool-night. I could not have had the box without her seeing it.’” Paul bas engaged Attorney Kelly to de- fend bim und says he will make it inter- esting for Perini before he is done with him. Ryan and O’Dea found the messenger- boy last night. His name is Max Cohen ofthe San Francisco District Telegraph Company. He says be answered a cali from the Louvre, 12 O'Farrell street, ana when he reached there a young man who was seated ata table drinking beer gave him a parcel to take to Perini's house, paying bim the usual fee. He gave a de- seription of the young man, and Ryan and O’ Dea think they know him., It now turns out that it w: stolen box that was returned, buta paper one, and that besides the $45 five bank books and deeds to property owned by Pe- rini were also stolen. Perini is more wor- ried about the loss of the aeeds than the money. OUT HIS THROAT. James Nicoll, a Longshoreman, tempts to Commit Suicide. James Nicoll, a longshoreman, 57 years of age, living at First and Howard streets, attempted to commit suicide last night by cutiing his throat with a knife. He has been out of work for three months and_his wife has been sick, which{ made him despondent. He took a knile from the table last night and in the pres- ence of his wife drew it across his throat. It was so blunt that it only made a super- ficial wound. He made a second attempt witn the same result, and before he could try again his wife appeared with a police- man and the kni e was taken fom him. He was sent to the Receiving Hospital.

Lewis His Sa'ary as Claimed. While the Law Does Not Prcvide for an Expert the Board of Exami- ners May Appoint. A very important matter was determined yesterday by the Supreme Court, sitting in bank. The issue was whether the State Board of Examiners was justified in ap- pointing an expert and providing for pay- ing him a salary when there was no ex- press provision in the law for such an appointment. The board appointed Thomas A. Lewis as such expert, at a salary of $2000 per an- num. Controtler Colgan refused to draw a warrant in payment for his services for the moath of July, 1895. Mandamus pro- ceedings were instituted. Once a decision was given by Department 1 of the Su- preme Court against Lewis. Yesterday the court, in bank, reversed the decision of the ¢epartment in bank and found for Lewis, sustaining the Superior Court. There never was any question whether Lewis performed the duties of the position during the month for which he claimed $166 6625 as salary due. The Supreme Court 1ound that the duty of Controller Colgan to draw a warrant in favor of Lewis depended upon the question | whether the Board of Examiners nad the | authority to appoint the expert. There was no law, so the court found, that in express terms created the office of expert to the board, but the act maxking appropriations for the board made pro- vision for the payment of an expert. An | office could not be created by a generalap- propriation bill; but it appeared that there was an attempt on the part of the | Legislature to create an office, and provi- sion was made for the payment of his sal- arv and expenses. The duties conferred upon the Board of Examiners and the corresponding author- ity conferred upon them by the express terms of the various sections of the Civil Code and other statutes defining their duties were such as might involve the em- ployment of an expert for their due and efficient discharge, and it followed that the examiners had the rower to employ an expert where it was neccssary, inde- pendent of the clause of the law making appropriations. 1t did not follow from this view that the powers of the board in this regard were uniimited and unre- stricted. If the Legislature could make an appropriation fo pav for services aiter they were rendered the court could see no reason why an appropriation could not be made in advance sufficient to cover the | anticipated expenses in this case. Under | ihis decision Expert Lawis will probably | collect bis whole back salary. In addition to the question personai to Lewis, the court auihorizes the board to have an ex- pert, which is a matter of more impor- tance. THE PEOPLE’S TELEPHONE.
