The new steamer Coquille River is now receiving the finishing touches at Folsom- sireet wharf, and will be ready for her wrial trip next Saturday. light draft but an immense beam, and shiould prove to be not only a good sea boat, but a splendid carrier. The comfort of passengers has been well looked out for and the steamer should be a favorite on the line between here and the Coquille River, The dimensions and general plan of the vessel have already been published in THE CALL. In publist ng an account of the robbery | on the schooner Alcalde yesterday a mis- | | take was made in the name of the master. The man who was robbed was Captain Weitkanet, formerly of the schooner American Girl, ana not Captain Wirsch- leut. The latter's life has been made miserable by constant inquiries as to hus losses and how he managed to reach home without shoes or stockings. Captain Weitkanet 1s still in hopes of recovering | some of his stolen property as the police Lave a clew to the thieve The hay wharf at the foot of Third street was on fire agamn early vesterday mornine, Coaloil had been stolen from the schooner Montezuma lying in the dock and poured over the hay. When the blazing mass was put out a swarm of veddlers appeared on the scene anxions to purchase the damaged fodder. A dozen | alarms have been turned in from the hay wharf during the past six months, and in every case incendiarism has been sus- pected. The officers of the Fire Dapart- ment and Chief Wharfinger Root are now | confident thatall the fires have been de- liberate attempts to destroy the wharl and the hay stored on it. Oscar Christensen, s sa Bryant, had an experience he will dot want to duplicate in a hurry He was ordered by Captain Lee 1o tzke out the ship’s stores, and while laden down with half a sheep, several porter- house steaks and a sack of onions, he at- tempted to step into the ship’s boat. He made & misstep and all the provisions went into the bay. O-car at once pulled off his coat and vest and dived down after the mutton and beef. He failed to re- cover either and then spent fifteen or twerty minutes in swimming around vicking up the onions that came (ot surface. Finally be gave up the hunt s rowed out tothe vessel and changed his ciothes. He then pulled buck to Folsom- street wharf to await the arrival of Cap- tain Lee. As Ch sterday that 200ds stepped out of his bill. The American ship Sterling, which ar- inst. from Newcastle, S. W., has as her chief officer Captain Sterling, late of the American ship Patrician. The latter vessel went down in one of the worst gales ever experienced on the Australian coast, and had it not been for the gallantry of the crew of the Brit- ish steamer Fifeshire every soul on board would have perished. “The Patrician sailed from Newcastle for Lystleton, and when 400 milex east of the Australian coast we encountered a terrific gale,” said Captain Sterling yesterday. “Two of the men were washed overboard, and aiter | forty-two hours of buffeting the vessel began to settle. masts cut awa; stove in the boat the conclusion that our case was hopeless and I wrote down the particulars of the disaster, placed it in a bottle and threw it overboard.

Had it not been for Captain Wilson, who handled his ship in such a masterful and seamanship-like manner, thus rendering valuable assistance to the lifeboat, all efforts woula have proved fruitiess, as the Fifeshire Is a very large sbip, and having a heavy gale and high sea to contend with it was extremely difficult to keep her in position. Captain Wilson and his crew are a credit to the Shire line and an honor to the British flag, under which they sail. The brig Percy Kdwards is on the dry dock receiving a thorough overhauling. When all the repairs are completed she will sail for the southern seas with the members of the Reinlart colony aboard. The men are confident of success, but old South Sea Island traaers consider the ven- ture chimerical. Harvor Commissioner D. T. Cole’s term of office will expire Murch 14, and all K nds of specnlations are rife as to who will be his successor. The latest name mentioned is that of Rudolph Herold Jr. Those who claim to know say he is sure of the ap- pointment, but that it will not be made until after the adjournment of the Legis- lature. This move will be made in order that the confirmation of the Governor's action shall not come up for two vears. Recent advices from Valparaiso, Chile, tell of aremarkable trip of the big Ger- man ship Potosi from Hamburz to the port first mentioned. The Potosi is one of the largest sailing vessels afloat, being a five-master of over 4000 tons and with a_record for speed sel- dom if ever excelled by a ‘‘wind-jammer.” She left Hamburg on November 17 last and arrived in the Chilean port on Janu- ary 14, beating the best previous record | by two days. At times during the trip she logged 16} knots—remarkable time for a sailing vessel and a record not often exceiled by steamers. Her average speed during the entire voyage Wassix knots and a fraction. Captain Hilgendorf, who commands the Potosi, has made a wonderful record. Tive years ago he capsized the German ship Parsifal, in which he had made sev- eral fast voyages from Hamburg to the nitrate ports. All on board were saved. Though no particular biame attacbed to the skipper he was given a ship that was considered about the slowast of the Ham- burg fleet as a sort of penance. To the surprise of the owners he beat out a number of crack ships and repeated the operation on the run home.

TRIED HARD TO0 END HIS LIFE James D. Egan’s Doubie Attempt to Use the Gas | Route at the Russ. [ He Was Twice Dragged From His Reom Into Pure ! Air. | | | | Vows He Will Make a God Jub of It N:xt Time—While at Hamburg His Brother Di:=d. | Colonel J. D. Young, proprietor of the | Russ House, had a curious experience Tuesday night with a man who was tr | ing his best to end his life, and failing had notning but regrets to express. | Atong early in the evening a man about | 45 years of age, of ordinary size and ap- pearance, with a lightish gray beard and | dark mustache, came up the stairway and registered. He wrote his name as James D. Egan, with something following which | looked like ‘Sh.Wossa,” indicating, as it seemed, & ship by the name of Wossa, and | asked for a room. It was atonce given | him, and the man retired. | Ashort time afterward the attaches of | the hotel detected a strong smell of gas {and a rigid examination was made, | | resulting in finding that the gas came | | from Egan’s room. The door was burst | | open and the gas was found streaming | | from the jets. | Egan was nearly unconscious, but he | was dragged forth into the open air. He | seemed to have been drinking some, and | |it was supposed that the gas had been | turned on accidentally. As he eventually | | recovered he was;put back into the room | | and left aione. | ~Some time later, or sbout 10 o’clock, there was another and stronger smell of | gas. The hotel force ran up to his room and burst open the door again. Every jet | was turned on, and Kgan lay on the bed | { with his mouth open and apparently near | aeath. | He was dragged out once more and this | time & policeman was called up, who es- corted him to the California-street station. ““The man’s story,” snid Colonel Young, *‘was that he went to Hamburg a year ago, and when he got back, three months ago, be found his brother had died. He told this to the officer, and said he did not want to live any longer. “He regretted that his efforts to end his life had failed, and said he would make a good job of it next time. Igan evidently came here and took a room with the de- liberate intention of dying here. The mun was booked at the station for drunkenness and yesterday morning was discharged DEATH OF A DRUGGIST. Henry B. Shaw, an Old and Respected Resident, Expires Suddenly. Henry B. Shaw, the druggist, died sud- deniy yesterday morning at his residence, 1906 Vallejo sireet. by congestion of the liver. Mr. Shaw was an old resident of this City. He came here from New York in 1867, and soon after opened a drugstore on Becond street, near Folsom. ‘When Rincon Hill began to decline he moved to Sutter and Powell strests, There also his business prospered. About four | years ago he decided to retire from active life and live upon his income. Inactivity, however, was not congenial to him, and within a year he again embarked in busi- ness, entering the firm of Wakelee & Co. ‘When he retired from that establishment, about a year ago, he engaged in business for himself at 3 Montgomery street. He personally conducted the latter place un- til about a week ago, when he became ill, but did not consider his condition serious. Mr. Shaw a veteran of the Civil War. He was a member of George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., and several fra- ternal societies. He had large property holdings in this City, including Bia resl. dence on Vallejo sireet. His fortune is e<timated at a quarter of a million. He was about fiity-five years of age, and was a native of Ireland. He leaves a widow. The funeral will take piace on Thursday afternoon from 1906 Vallejo. gt e OHARGED WITH ROBBERY. James Gibney Arrested Early Y. day Morning and Lodged in Jall. James Gibney, a hackman, was arrested early yesterday morning by Officers Peshon and Tanians and detained at the California-street Police Station on a charge of robbery and impersonating a police sercennt. Gibney went to a Chinese tenement- er- | bouse, 72634 Pacific street, end demanded morey from one of the occupants. On being refused, he grasped the luckless Chinaman, whose name is unknown, by the throat and relieved him of several dol- lars. The Chinaman reported the roobery 10 the police and Gibney was arrested and charged with the crime. | | | | placed on top of the cabin reproduction of the original, THE OLD FIRE CHIEF IN BRONZE.

The So-Called Christians Have Not Followed the Doctrines as | Laid Dowa. Colonel Taylor Rogers was scheduled to deliver a lecture before Liberty Branch of the Socialist Labor party last evening at the Turk-street Temple on the “Econom- ics of the Bermon on the Mount.” He carried out the programme, although for a brief interval in the midst of it there were grave fears that he might not. He had forgotfén his Bible. By a most unforeseen accident, as it develo ped, one in the large audience was a Christian believer, and not only that, but he had his Bible with him, with the leaf turned down at the Sermon on the Mount. As the book was handed up to him the speaker, who plainly confessed himself to be no church member, found himself to be almost persuaded to believe in miracles. The cloudy prospect for the lecture cleared up immedlately. Economic iaw, according to the Greek derivation of the word, said the speaker, is a law of the household—municipality, state, nation or the world. Discussing the economic law of the Ser- mon on the Mount, the speaker said he would not do so from the standpoint of the theologian, as he belonged to no church. . The lecture would have to do with eacth, earth, earth; it would never get away from the earth, he said. He knew of no other state and the earth was quite good enough for him. In his introduc- tory remarks he referred to the prodigal- ity of nature, the necessity of man to work, and to t e sncial nature of man—all of them absolute laws of nature. Private property he charged as the one great wrong of the world. Greece and Rome and the londg line of nations and empires of the world had fallen through the absorption of theland into the hands of afew. At their beginning in every case the land was beld in common. At their fall the great majority of the people were not allowed to trespass upon the land ex- cent to labor for its owner. Turning to the Sermon on the Mount he called attention to its utterances, as they agreed with the doctrines of the modern apostles of socialism. Hesaid that from the pulpits of these times one couid only iearn that Christ taught of the world and | the life to come. The speaxer said that about nine-tenths of Christ’s teachings re- lated to this world, and if they were fol- | lowed the grinding competitive system would long ago have disappeared and ali things would be held in common. 1f Christ was divine he could promul- gate no error. He had been acknowledged by atheists and his so-called followers alike for 1800 years to be one of the great- est teachers of the world intellectually and morally. He believed that all things should be | held in common, and advised the young | man before undertaking to follow him to first dispose of all that he had. His im- mediate followers refused to go to war, refused to accept office and believed in the equality of the sexes and in monogamic marriage. “How are we to get back to the com- munistic conditions?’ he asked. ‘By taking up the institutions of commerce and production, one by one, and incorpo- rating them into the system of government is one way, the way I believe to be best. Accomplished in the full, we would have the conditions Christ advocated and would realize the fatherhood of God, the brotherbood of man and the motherhood of earth in all 1ts radiant splendor. The lecture was liberally applauded and also liberally criticized in the five-minute speeches, Views of Public Bulldings. Pletures of the City Hall, Hall of Justice, the park lodge and the Girls’ Righ School will be published in the official publication in New York known as “The City Government,” which is & moathly. The pictures for publication were sent on by Mayor Pneian yesterday. NEW TO-DAY.

A Schilling & Company San Francisco ALL WILL HANDLE BROOMS AGAIN Board of Education Rein- states the Deposed Janitors. An Effort Made to Give a Long Lease on School Prop- erty. A Lively Wrangle Over en Attempt to Create a N:w Standing Committee, Two important matters came up before the Board of Education at its meeting last evening. One was the re-establish- ment of the old force of janitors, and the second was relative to granting a long e lease on the School Department’s property on Fifth and Market streets. At arecent meeting an effort was made to oust nearly ths entire force of janitor- esses and janitors and fill the vacancies with a new force. This movement pro- voked much opposition, but the majority beld the whip hand ana paia but little attention to the assertion that they were throwing out needy people to make room for political friends. Last evening the Janitors Committee presented a recommendation that the new appointees, twenty-four in number, be | dismissed, and the old lot, with a dozen or more added, be put back again. This was adopted, and the fortunate are the following: A. Ascher, Henry Durant School; K. A. Hunter, Cooper Primary; Mrs. M. Gallagher, Hearst' Grammar; Mrs.’ N. Moore, Laguna Honaa; Mrs. Crawg, Hunters Point; ) Bustead, James Lick Grammar; H. well, ~Fremont Primarv; Mrs. M Cleveland Primary; Mrs.' Riley, Pacific Heights: Mrs. Hartzen, Normal; Mrs. Burns, Horac: Mann urammer; Mrs. Langle Irving Scott Primary; Mrs. Clyne, Longieliow { Primary; Mrs. Langdon.

McCarthy, Columbia Grammar; Mrs. J. M. Murpby, Bernal Pri- mary; Mrs. Cooper, Polytechnic High School. Near the close of the meeting Director Burns offered a resolution that the Board of Education lease the school property on Fifth and Market streets for s period of fifty years and that permission be asked of the Le: ‘slature to make such a deal. It was argued that the department is in need of money and that on such a lease a considerable sum could be raised—more, in fact, than could be obtained on a shorter lease. The proposition was buried out of sight by the motion being referred to the Judiciary Committee. A communication was received from Auditor Broderick giving his reasons for refusing to audit the architect’s demands for $800 on the Mission High School work. He claimed that this would exceed the $200.000 appropriation for the build- ing, etc. The following report of the Classifica~ tion Committee was adopted : That Miss Jesste I. King be transferred from the Peabody Primary to the charge of Miss Adeline Ephraim’s class in the Douglass Primary Schoo!, and that Miss Adeline Ephraim pe transferred from the Doug- lass Primary School to the Pesbody Pri- mary School; that Mrs. A, M. Brown be transferred from the unassigned list to the charge of Miss Hattie L. Wooli’s class in the Hawthorne Primary School; thet Miss Hattie L. Wooll be transferred from the Haw- thorne Primary Schoo! to the Bernal Primary School; that Miss Mary A, _Barreit be transferred from the Bernal Primary School to the Adams Cosmopolitan Grammar School; that a new class be formed in the Girls’ Yiigh;School, and that Mrs. Irene Reeves of the High School substitute class be as. signed to the charge of the said High Schoo¥ class; that all matters in reference 10 special teachlers be indefinitely postponed. A long ¢iscussion amounting at times to @ personal wrangle was caused by a proposition to create a new standing com- mittee, to be known as the Evening Schools Committee. A protest was raised by Director Derham. on the ground that it would be a usurpation of the power of the Classification Committee. A motion was made that instead of a Shields, Adams Mrs. J.

How standing committee it be simply a visit- ing committee, but it was lost. The original motion that the Evening School Committee be created was passed. Director Derham gave notice of a re- consideration at the next meeting of the board. The new director, Dr. Ragan, elected vice Director Halstead, deceased, was ed on the Classification, Judiciary and Visiting committees. Director Head requested that the Re- publican minority be given representa- tion on the Classification and Judiciary | committees, but no action was taken. The West of Castro Street Improvement Club sent a communication requesting the erection of a fourth class schoolhouse in that neighborhood. Miss Lily A. Toomy, a teacher in the cooking department,who was dropped out of the service, requested that her place be lared vacant, but that she be sus- establishment of the teacking of cooking. Several residents of the Hunters Point district requested that a lady teacher be appointed to that school. Miss Rose Thompkins, R. A. Herold and Lulu F. Durkin were granted leaves of ab- sence. Similar requests by Dr. Edwin Bunnel! and Fannie L. Soule were denied. Miss Kate Markham, a janitress of the Mission Grammar School,” sent a protest against being transferred to the Poiytech- nic High School Scarlet Fever Cases.
