Meehan’s Plunger Capsized When Off Angel Island. Ran Into an Anchored Scow and Started All the Boat's Timbers. Creosoted Blocks to Be Used in the Paving of the New Folsom- Street Wharf, W. Meehan, the son of the well-known police officer, hud a narrow escape a few days ago. After drifting around for a couple of hours on the bottom of his over- tarned plunger he was picked up by the ferry steamer San Rafael just when he had given up all hope. The young man had been to Sacramento anything like a breeze the contests should be very pretty ones. Capiain , late of the Corona, went out as master of the Truckee yesterday. He will only make one or two trips, how- ever, as be expects to go east ina few months to bring back & new steamer for the Southern California trade. Quarantine Officer Dr. Chalmers had a party of friends out on the Governor Per- kins yesterday. The outing was a most enjoyable one and all the principal points of interest on the bay were visited. Among those who were present were Sen- ator Thomas Flint Jr. and wife, Dr. Keables and wife and Sznator Voorheis and wite, The crew of the American ship T. F. Oakes assert that herlong passage wasdue to the fact that the captain insisted on sailing on the 4th of July, and assert that all the troubles that followed were also due to that fact. The battle-ship Oregon will leave for the Port Orford dockyard next Thursday. In the meantime Captain Barker has r stored ull the men to the first-class rank, and yesterday three boatloads of them came ashore to enjoy another run around town before the vessel goes to sea. Work on Folsom-street pier is rapidly nearing completion. All the eylinders are down and the only thing that remains to be done is the paving of the wharf and the erection of the superstructure. The pavinz will_probably be done with blocks of Oregon pine treated with the creosoting process. It was at first intended to use some redwood blocks. but the wood is so brittle and splits so easily under pressure that the chances are that nothing but cre- | osoted blocks will be used throuzhout. Chief Engineer Holmes of the Harbor | Commission will not express an_opinion in the matter, but while his opinion is firmly fixed in regard to the block pave- { mentho will not say whether the creo- W.

He made good headway until he reached Suisun Bay. It wasaclear moon- tight night and the wind being fair he lashed the helm and went to sleep. The next thing that he remembers was the plunger crashing into a scow schooner that was lying at anchor awaiting a change The plunger was considerably damaged, but still her owner thought he could make San Francisco in her. He made the at- tempt and came 10 grief. All went well until the tide rip off Angel | Island was encountered. Thenthe plung- er's seams opened up, and in a few min- utes she turned turtle when a :quall struck her. Young Meehan clambered on the keel and hunz on there for two long hours. Luckily the tide drifted him down into the course of the Sausalito fer- ry-boats and he was picked up. Notbing could pe done with the plunger, and she wentout to sea with the tide. “It was the closest call I ever had,” said Meehan yesterday. “There was nothing in sight when Ilashed the tiller ana went to sieep, and as I had not closed my eves for twenty-four hours I did not require any rocking. After running into the scow I ex- the boat and made sure I could reach San Francisco, but I made a mis- take and nearly lo<t my life in conse- quence. When the plunger went over day was_just breaking, and after getting on the ke 11 bad to hang there until the first boat from Sausaiito camealong and picked me up.” Captain McAllister of the British ship Langdale will not remainlong in England after his vescel arrives and discharges. He will come back direct to San Francisco ard will assume control of the well-known house of Sennett, Miller & Co. He will have associated with him Fred Hughes, who for years was the late Captain Sen- nett's right-hand man, and they should make a gobd team. Captain McAllisteris one of the best-liked masters that comes to this port, and he 1s very popular with British shipmasters. Mr. Hughes is thor- oughly conversant with the stevedoring business here and is well known in busi- ness circles, so he shouid prove a valuable aid to Captain McAllister. Quite a nnmber of vessels are repairing in order 0 be ready for the summer trade. The schooner North Bend is haviog a new bowsprit put in and is_also receiving a thorough overhauling. The barkentine Chehalis is baving a new bowsprit and foremast put in, while the bark Eclipse is having a new mainmast stepped. There are to be great times at Meiggs wharf next Sunday. W. M.

Preliminary steps for the organization of a large number of divisions represent- ing the various foreign colonies in this City have been taken by the carnival com- mities with a view of securing their par- ticipation in the various pageants for car- nival week. At the suggestion of M. L. de la Lande, Consul for France, letters bave been addressed to Sylvain Weill, Or- lando Bozio, Dr. J. de Chautrear and J. Bayle, respectively, president of tne French Benevolent Society, of the *‘Cercle Francais” and of the “Ligue d'Henri IV,” asking them to take the initi. atory proceedings with a view of organiz- ing a French division. Frank T. Shea, president of the Knights of St. Patrick, has promised to use his en- deavors to bring together representatives of various lrish socicties. The prospects are also encouraging for an Austrian- Hun arian division, and the Chinese con- tingent promises to'be one of the most gorgeous in the carnival parades.

PHELAN APPEALS 10 THE CITIZENS The Boulevard Should Be Finished With All Dispatch. His Personal Check for One Thousand Dollars Swells the Fund. Supervisors Notified That Sutro and the Spr?ng Valley Have Signed the Deeds. To the Citizens of San Francisco: To- day the deeds of Tight of way executed by Adolph Sutro and the Spring Valley Water Works for a boulevard 100 feet wide, extending from Seventh avenue past the Almshouse, and thence for a mile to the Corbett road at its junction with -the Trocadero road, were pre- seuted to th.e City by these generous donors. 1tis intended that this boule- vard shall be continued through the Lake Merced property, a right of way to which has been promised by the Spring Valley Water Works, and thence south to San Mateo County. The City has but oue outlst by land, and by the grant of this right of way a great high- way is provided for the people, begin- ning at the Golden Gate Park and extending indefinitely into the country. In thess days of improved locomotion it 18 a matter of great importance to the City of San Franclsco to embrace this opportunity of giving herself a perfect road. I therefore, at the request of the committee in charge, appeal to all eiti- zens to contribute toward its con- struction, and especially at this time, when the employment of men tempo- rarily awaiting the opening of the sea- son is & great measure of relief. The horseman, the bicyclist, the pedestrian, will equally enjoy the benefits of this road for generations to come, and it will serve to wed the City and the country. All that can be said in favor of good roads can emphatically be urged in favor of this movement on account of the vast population such a highway will serve and on account of the large number of unemployed which will be immediately benefited by its construction. I again request all citi- zens realizing the importance of the undertaking to send their con:ributions to Daniel Meyer, treasurer, 216 Pine street, without waiting for a oall from the committee. JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor Phelan issued this appeal to the public on behalf of the new boulevard lsst evening, and then showed his apprecia- tion of the-advantages to be derived from it by sending his personal check for $1000 to the committee in charge of the work. At the meeting of the Board of Supervis- ors yesterday his Honor sent in the fol- lowing communication relative to the deeds: To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco—GENTLE- MEN [ herewith transmit to you thie deeds of right of way from Adolph Sutro, Esq., and irom the Spring Valley Water Works, u cor- poration, dated respectively March 24, 1897, ana March 18, 1897, over the proverty owned Dby the parties atorementoned adjacent to the Almshouse tract and whose purpose 15 to ad- mit of the construction by the City of a high- way or boulevard from Seventh avenue souih- west to the Trocadero road. The deed of the Spring Valley may be re- corded at any time when Adolph” Sutro quit- claims his interest 1n the old serpentine road adjoining the waste pond on the property of the Spring Valley Water Works, and tho so- celled twenty-foot strip, being the oid road adjoining Lske Honda reservoir mentioned in the deed. Becondly, when the City and County of San Francisco quitclaims its interest in the same roads above described. The deed of Adolph Sutro is placed in escrow with L. W. Hellman, president of the Nevada Bank, the condition of the escrow being that when'at any time within five yesrs the boule- vard is graded and macadamized from Sev- euth avenue and:N street to the Corbett road, near the entrancé to the Trocadero road, the title to the right 0f way shall vest in the City. It is provided that all rock for macadamizing shall be taken from such places on the land of Adoph Sutro as may be irdicated by him. The escrow receipt signed by L W. Heliman, with a copy ot the deed of Adolph Sutro to the City attached, is herewith transmitted to you and may be recorded at any time. I recom- mend that_both of these deeds Le sent to the City and County Attorney, with instructions {0 record them at the proper time, provided in his judgment the Cily’s interesis are amply protecied. With the City and County Attorney and the owners of the property I have had several con- ierences, and am satisfied that there is noth- ingin the way of the acceptance by the City of these deeds, and merely ask that these in- structions be given to the Uity and County At~ torney in order that he moy regularly trans- mit his opinion to the Board of Supervisors. 1 congratulate the board upon tue graut of these ‘rights of way, which will resultin the construciion of & much needed boulevard and be u substantial addizion to the possessions.of the City and County, Respectiully, JaxEs D. PHELAN, Mayor, St IT"S WORK OR NO MEALS. The Old Organized Unemployed Adopt a New Name and a Labor Test. Yesterday over 250 men were at work on (he .boulevard. But another 150, for whom tickets had been issued, had not re- ported for duty. And this, in the face of the fact that in addition to the 400 men so far accepted, there were enrolled as appli- cants whnen the office closed yesterday 1650 other men apparently eager for a chance to work. The men are being accepted just as fast as more can_be used to advantage with- out getting in each other’s way upon the limited stretch of road thus far operated upon. Every cent thut is being contributed for the boulevard is expended only for man- ual labor. lmplements and supplies are all contributed. Up to date $729 90 has been paid to men for whose special benefit the work was provided. And these men are domng good work. Nome of them are guilty of the shirking famihar to man; visitors to the park during a like benefit two years ago. Subscriptions to the Loulevard fund have reached a total of $9710 70, of whicn there is a balance on haud of $8980 80, not more than.a third of what is necessary 1o complete the first part of the boulevard, and far too little to give work to more than a fourth of the 2050 men that want it and need the $1 a day. The organized unemployed, as such in name, o longer exi They held one of their typical stormy meétings last night and formally evolved into the “Home and Help Supply Association,” by which name they have applied for a charterasa "f“"' corporation, with a nominal capi- tal stock o1 $1,000,000 and an actual fund of $135 threatened with serious inroads in- cident to a normally hungry but unpro- ductive small arm; The evolution was a simple process and Mayor. a very pleasantone. The unemployed shed | their skins—figuratively speaking, and only figuratively speaking —an:l ~cam forth a corporation as yet unused to watered stock, to the luxuriesor myste- ries of bathrooms, laundries, reading- rooms and other accommodations outlined among the optimistic probabilities of the “Home” to be. ‘With the actual :nstitution of the new regime came a commendable but almost compulsory pian, one that might well have been put to the test a month ago. By a large vote, with less than a fourth of the assembled 300 men sheepishly oppos- ing the proposition, it was decided that hereaiter those who do not turn outand help to pull the-supply wagon through the streets on its collecting tour shall not eat. The first crucial test 13 to be made this morning. By the number that hold the rope to- lay will be judged the general sin- cerity of the body of men that has rele- gated to oblivion the term Organized Un- employed; that has attempted to free it- self from the reproaches and -disfavor lately attaching to it as an institution where many appeared chronically idle and willing to see others hustle for the contributions of which they willingly enough partook during the day and were loudest to wrangle over at the nightly meetings. The larder is empty, and to-day the lazy ones must do a little untaxing labor or leave the headquarters to those alone whose willingness to do something will insure them the confidence and sympathy of the community. For the present the old quarters will be occupied, and perhaps daily swept out and aired a little” Meanwhile an effort will be made to find a suitable place jor permanent occupancy.

LOUGHEAD IS A RECORD- BREAKER Two-Mile Mark Went A- Glimmering at the Pa- vilion Meet. Dashing Riding of Professionals on the Steep Track Kept the Audience on Edge. Another larce audience greeted ihe cycle racers at the Mechanics’ Pavilion last evening, the second night of the big indoor tournament. There was ‘a longer and more interesting programme, if pos- sible, then that run off Saturday night, and the cxcitement at times reached the fever heat, particularly in the professional events. There is no question but what the pro- fessionals lend more vim and dash to their racing than do the amateurs, which is only natural when it is considered that | they are racing for prizes about three times more valuable, and cash prizes at | that. There were six more professionals en- tered, bringing the number up to twenty- | four, and among the new comers the stars | were Walter Foster, California’s favorite, and Fred J. Loughead, the Canadian champion, whose speedy riding and | charming ‘manners promise to win him a | warm place in the heart of California au- | diences. Of the other Easterners Jay Eatoa showed the best in the preliminary heats of the two miles, both Becker and Starbuck being shutout from the final. Loughead demonstrated his remarkable speed in the final 'of the two-mile pro- fessional, when he lowered the world’s record tv 4 min. 24 sec. and defeated Eaton, McFarland and Jones. Ru-s was the star of the amateur per- formers of the evening, winning the haif- mile scratch race as he pleased from a large fieid. His principal oppouent was Kenna, who fell in bis semi-fiual heat and could not qualify. Bome good riding was seen in the two- mile open, professional, heats, Stevens of Iowa won the first heat in a preity finish from Hardy Downing, Walter Foster and Herbert McCrea. The seconi weat to Eaton' of Chicago, who beat the local cracks, the Terrill brothers. Btarbuck, | tne long-distance champion, Alien of | Spokane, and Wells and Whitman of Cal- itornia contested the third heat. They made the two miles in lightnirg time, riding the last quarter in 27 seconds. ‘Wells won by‘a good margin. Loughead, tho Canadian champion, Dow of Seattle, Bovee of Texas and Davis of San Jose rode in the fourth. Loughead outclassed his _field, winning as he pleased. Allan Jones made a good win of the fitth heat, beating Slater of Arizona and Boyden of Alameda. In the sixth were Becker, the five-mile champion, Morris of Texas, Byrne of the Imperial Club and McKarland of 8an Jose. Becker could do no better than third, McFarland winning, Morris second. The last eighth was ridden in 134-5 seconds, record time. The sem -finals were run in mile heats and the preliminary heats should have been. The starters in the first semi-final were Stevens, Eaton, Downing and Terrill. This was a pretty race. Eaton jumped to the front on the fifth lap and started a long sprint with the others ciosely follow- ing. - Downing held second place until the last turn when Terriil passed him and al- most nipped out Eaton at the tape. The riders of the second semi-finals were Wells, Loughead, Allen and Dow. Allen jumped early in the ride, but Loughead and Wells 8oon took his measure and fin- ished one, two. They bumped together on the last tuin, but Kept their heads and aid not fall, saving the two behind them, Jones, McFarlang, and Morris competed in the third. Jones hardly waited for the siarter’s gun before he was off like a shot, with the others tagging after him at a goodly clip. They excianged the pace- setting every other lap till the last and then sprinted for home. Jones was last, but cut in on the pole and came home a winner, dcFarland second. This brought - into_the final Jones, and Morris M. Cook, Olympic; J. R. Kenna, F. Laeey and T. A. Griffiths, Bay City, and R. Robin<on, San Fran: isco Road Ciub. The-e contested in the emi-finals, narrowing the field down to Morris Cook, Bacon, Russ and Lacey, Alborelle fell 1n the second semi-final and Kenna in the third, but neither was a bit hurt. The accidents were caused by the tires on their wheels exploding. Russ made a runaway race of the final, taking the lead url{ in the journey and setting a clip the others could not over- e, He won in the speeay time of 1:11, Bacon a good second, Cook third. The first heat f the five-mile cup race was contested by C. M. Smith, represent- ing the Olympic Cyelers; C. D. Gooch, Reliznce Club, and G. A. Wyman, Acme Club. It was paced by Scheerer and Honigsberger on a tandem. Smith was first to catch on behind the pacers, who set a pretty hot clip from the start, considering the long distance 1o be ridden. Wyman got behind the tandem after the first mile. The pacing was very jerky and rather spoilea what might have been a good race. Smith was forced to drop out at the end of the third mile, ow- ing to the poor pacing. In a pretty finish | Gooch won from Wyman, the time forthe five miles being 11:55 2-5. The second heat of the five-mile club cup race was contested by Cummings, Alameda Cyclers; Robinson, San Fran: cisco Road Club; Lacey, Bay City, and Birdsall, California Ciub. They were paced by Davidson and Griffiths, the crack Bay City tandem team, and the pace was steady and even, about a 2:20 clip for the first three miles, livening up a little to- ward the end. Lacey won in a sprint, Robinson second, Birdsall tbird. Cum- Inings made game ride. The time was The following is the summary: Half-mile scratch, amateur—First heat won by G.

He Arrived in the Oar Orfental and Will Go East To-Morrow Evening. August Belmont, the millionaire broker of New York, president of one of the lead- ing jockey clubs and owner of a string of famous fast horses, besides being inte; ested in many railroads, arrived here on Bunday in his private car Oriental, ac- companied by several friends. The party ‘was at the Palace yesterday, got breakfast and returned to the car. Mr. Belmont is interested in the Nortn- ern Pacific, the Milwaukee and St. Paal, the Louisville and Nashville and other railrosds. Besides being an enormously wealthy man he 1s the representative of the Rothschilds. He said yesterday that he was here for his health and recreation, and that it was his wish not to be_interviewed, this being in accordance with a custom foliowed for many years. He and his friends have been in Southern California for'cver two weeks. They will leave for the East, via Ogden, to-morrow. ————— To Lecture to Soclalists: Rev.

Admission to the general public will be free. NEW TO-DAY. Schilling's Best Blend tea is $1.25 a pound. Your money back if you don'’t like it— Loughead, Eaton and McFarland. To make it as fast and interesting as possible single pacemakers were put in, and the innovation proved a good onme. Sullivas set the pace for the first mile and made it lightning fast. The first mile was made in 2:1445. Here Morris swung in, and the pace was even hotter than before. Loughead still held first place behind the pacemaker, t e order being Loughead, McFarland, Jones, Eaton. The pacer swung out on the sixth lap, and then one of the greatest fights ever seen on a California track took place. Eaton jumped to the pole, fighting side by side with Loughead. Jonescame up from behind with @ desperate sprint and crowded out McFarland, but slipped on the last turn and fell heavily, Loughead proved the best man of the two leaders, and won with room to spare, in the re- markable time of 4:24, a world’s record. To show that he was unhurt Jones re- mounted his wheel after his fall and rode it to his dressing-room. The longest event on the programme was the half mile scratch, amateur, which on account of an_exceptionally big entry list hada- to be divid into nine heats, three semi-finals and a final.
