Opinions as to Her Safety About Equally Divided Among Seamen. Oz Her Engineer’s Trial the Gunboat Marietta Exceedad Her Con- tract Sp:ed The new gunboat Marietta had her reg- ular engineer's trial on the bay yesterday. Friday she was speeded up and down the bay in order to get her engines into work- ing order, but yestcrday she was opened upand a thorough test made. An aver- age of 133 knots is claimed for her, which is considerably above the speed required by the Government, so the Union Iron Works people are figuring on a nice little bonus. The Marietta is a handsome ves- sel of her class and the clean manner in which she made her way through the water was the subject of favorable com- ment from steamship captains. The date of her trial trip has not been set, but Captain C. Miner Goodall, who has been out on her twice, says that if she keeps on improving she will easily make 14 knots when called upon. The fate of the oniy American built four-masted steel ship is very much in doubt. The Dirigo is 170 days out from New York for this port and yesterday 20 per cent reinsurance was paid on her in Liverpool. Pilots who came in on the fitted out for the Alaskan passenger trade. A new deck is being put on her and state- rooms are being fitted up in the 'tween wecks. When the repairs are completed she will be one of the handiest vessels of her class in the bay. STREETCAR TRAILERS, Eight of Them Have Been Placed in Service on the Kearny->treet Line. Eight of the Kearny and Mission-street cars are now carrying trailers during the busy hours of the night and morning. Trailers were first attached to the Mission- street cars about a year ago, and provea so satisiactory that they are now running on eleven cars of that line. Last January the system was also adopted on the Third and Kentucky-street line, which operates five trailers, and on Monday the trailer was installed on the Kearny and Mission-street ine. Each trailer has a seating capacity for twenty-two passengers. They would have been put on the Kearny-street line sooner, but the steep grade on Kearny street above Montgomery avenue precluded their use beyond that point. To overcome tins a sidetrack has been laid at the point named and there the trailer is dropped by the northbound car and later picked up by the car coming the other way. _The trailers are now being lighted with oil lamps, but arrangements are nearly completed for electric-light illumination for them by transmitting the current from the motor-car. ————— DESERTED THFIR OHILD. L. Bolte and Wife Left Their Little Daughter on the Street. The officers of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children made an investigation yestsrday of a peculiar case of desertion. Louie Bolte and family on Friday was evicted from their home at 4 Aucust aliey, near Green and Powell streets. Bolte, with his wife and one child, aged 7 years, immediately went to Eagle avenue, near Webster street, in Alameda, leaving the other child, Marie, 12 years of age, alone on the streets ot San Francisco. The little girl wandered around North Beach crying until taken 1n and fed by Mrs. Kerrigan, who lives near the Boltes’ ormer residence. Mrs. gan placed the little girl in a family on Clay street and notified the society. Colonel Parnell, the secretary, states | stazgered against the wall of a building SUDDENLY BLIND FROM CIGARETTES Terrible A fl ction of Sam- uel F. Morris, a Col- lector. His Sight Leaves Him on the Street and One Eye Is Gone. The Sprirg Valley Water Company, for Whom He Work d, Has Pensioned Him. Samuel F. Morris, better known among a large circle of friends as “Sam” Morris, is the victim of a strange malady that has thus far baffled the skill of prominent specialists who have tried to relieve him. He has been stricken suddenly blind through the use of tobacco in the form of cigarettes and is living only in hopes that perhaps one of his optics may be restored to at least partial use. Mr. Morris is, or rather was, a collector for the Spring Valley Water Company, and was well known in the business dis- tricts, where his daily duties called. He was a constant user of the seductive rolls of paper and tobacco that have such an im- | mense sale in this City. Morris was warned that his eyes would not stand per- sistent smoking, but he paid no attention to his friends. One aay a few weeks ago, while walking along Montgomery street, he was seen to suddenly throw his hands out in front of him, as if to ward off some impending danger, and clasp them over his eyes. He The Gunboat Marietta on Her Engineer’s Trial Trip on the Fay Yesterday. Her Builders Claim That She Will Make 14 Knots on Her Official Trial and Thus Earn a Handsome Bonus. Bonita yesterday state that with the wind and weather that has prevailed outside for a week past the ship could not make port. Then again others point to the fact that the Charmer, which left New York after her, is on her way home again, ha ing discharged and reloaded in the mean- time. The British ship Howth, w.ich passed ker off the Horn, has been in port for thirty days, while the St. David, which left the Kast long after ber, has nearly got all her cargo on Harrison-street wharf. When last heard from the Dirigo was in latitude 56 south, 64 west, and according to the captain of the Howth, & heavy wester- 1y gale sprang up shortly afterward. The wind blew with terrific violence and the British_ship was thrown on her beam ends. The bad weather lasted for three days and the Howth had a terrible time of it.” Seafaring men advance three proposi- tions. First, the Dirigo may have put into Port Stanley in distress; second,Cap- tain Goodwin may have put about and is coming to San Francisco via the Cape of Good Hove, and tnird, that being a slow ship she msy even now be somewhere in the vicinity of this port. The under- writers think that the vessel has gone down and are willing to gamble to the extent of 20 per cent on the resu't. Sergeant John Hayes of the State Har- bor Police is anxious to find John J. Har- riety, formerly a teamster on the water front. At one time he worked for Hayes in the California Transfer Company, but jatterly he has been doing odd jobs here, there and everywhere he could find them. An aunt of Harrity has died in Boston leaving him a small fortune, and he is wanted to take possession of it. Miss Mary Carney of 25 Lapidge street is also anxious to hear of Harrity’s whereabouts, s she has a communication from the executors of the estate. George C. Ludington, the well-known aunctioneer, connected with Easton, Eldridge & Co., had s slight stroke of paralysis at the ferries yesterday. He was on his way to Vacaville to take partina sale of fruit lands when he was overtaken. A scene of confusion followed, but luckily he was got out of the waiting-room and intoahack in a few minutes. A physi- cian was summoned and Mr. Ludington was sent home. By noon he was so far recovered as to be able to talk and the doctors now say that all danger is past. The schooner KEtna is now lymng in the cove near Meiggs whart awaiting her cap- tain. The latter is sick in St. Mary's Hos- pital, but is rap:dly recovering. When he is able to be about the schooner will start on a three years’ trading cruise to Alaska. The Ktnais the old tug of the same name, which has been built up 2nd turned into a handsome schooner after her engines and boilers had been taken ont. Lieutenant Weber, chief engineer of the Hartley, leaves for the East to-day to as- sume command of the custom - house steamer in New York barbor. His place has been taken by Lieutenant Butler of the new steamer Golden Gate. The latter vessel is now being fitted out, and when she is put in commission the Hartley will be condemned and sold. Tom, the pet cat of the steamer Ala- meda, had a narrow escape last Friday at the sugar refinery. A heavy gangway feil on him, but he is still alive and is being nursed back to health by Chief Engineer Littie. How Tom escaped is a wonder; but, then, a cat has nine Iives, anywav. The ferry steamer Tiburon and the San Francisco and North Pucific train for Santa Rosa were delayed a few minutes on account of the rush of freight. Three | big carloads of beer in casks formed part ot the shipment, and they will be eagerly looked for in Santa Rosa to-night. The crew of the Tiburon explain the rush by stating that the Santa Rosa brewery burned down last Friday nizht. The members of St. Andrew’s Society went to El Campo yesterday. Over 800 Scotchmen went over on the Ukiah and spent a most enjoyable day. All kinds of amusements were provided; there was dancing in the pavilion, games in the open space, Towing races on the bay and many a quiet ramble along the sbady walks woich abound in the beautiful grounds. Everybody who went over voted it the most enjoyable outing the society has ever held. The Congregational Sunday - schools went over on the Tiburon and took a train for Guerneville. Over 1500 men, women and children formed the gathering, and all had a splendid time in Bohemian Grove. Phelan Building, S.F. The steam schooner Excelsior is being that the deserted child is in good hands and that hereafter the society will look after the little one’s interests. He says that there is a State law which deals severely with parents who desert their children and it is not at all unlikely tha: this law will be invoked in the Bolte case. BRODERICK WILL FIGHT Dces Not Believe the New - Teachers’ Pension Law Constitutional. Informs an I quirinz Committes That It Bad Better App.y to the Courts. Miss Manning and other members of the committee recently appointed by the Teachers’ Annuity and Retirement Fund Commission to pass on applications for vensions under the new iaw called on Anditor Broderick yesterdey to discuss the workings of the act and see what could be done to make it legal in the eyes of the Auditor. Mr. Broderick has intimated that he will refuse to sign demands for pensions under the new law, because he believes it to be unconstitutional, in that it will, if carriea out, trransfer public funds into the control of a semi-public body over which the Board of Supervisors—the legislative body of the Citv—has no juris- diction, Mr. Broderick told the ladies that he thought he would refuse to sign demands, and have the whole matter tested in the courts, They argued the point with him, but he stated that while it was not impos- sible that he would change his mind he thought that they had better prepare for a legal settlement of the questions in- volved. Anotker matter that he discussed with them was the tiransfer of certain funds collected under tiie old law into the hands of the present commission. An attempt was made some time ago to make the transfer oy a simple demand on the treasury, which was presented for the Auditor's signature. He refused to ap- prove it, and vesterday told the ladies to apply to the Board of Supervisors for a transfer of the money, that being the only legal way of getting into a position whera itcouid be paid outto the waiting pen- sioners. . s+ Bullders’ Contract: Mrs. George T.

He was belped into the establishment of another friend and from there was taken to his home, at 1112}¢ Hyde street, wherehe re- sides with his 1amily. An eminent eve-specialist who was called in pronounced the case one of nico- tine poisoning of the optic nerve and gave little hope of recovery. A consultation of physicians was held later and it was finally stated that while one eye was com- pleteiy gone the other might be partially restored to sight after the sympathetic disturbance caused by the poisoned eye had subsiced. Since being afflicted Mr. Morris has had little recreation beyond an occasional trip to the Cliff House in the care of his sister. These journeys seem to do bim good. Having been nineteen years and more in the employ of the Spring Valley Water Company he comes vnder their pension regulations and receives his salary of $150 per month as though he was collecting every day. The case is considered somewhat re- markable fiom the suddenness of the at- tack and the ‘physicians are keeping a close watch on it in the interest of their science, as well as for the patient’s wel- fare. The afflicted man is remarkably patient under his burden of darkness and greets his friends, who call 10 ask after his lealth, with a cheery smile. It is the intention of Morris’ physicians to send him to the springs for a time to see whetner the change will not benefit him. BIG CLOSING SALE, The Maze Crowded to the Doors With Bargain-Hunters Eager to Take Ad- v.ntage of an Important Event. Yesteraay morning at 9 o’clock saw the great closing-out sale of the Maze inaugu- rated under circumstances, which, to say the least, must have appeared flattering to the management. It was responded to by thousands of people and ail day long the store was packed to its utmost capacity with people who appreciated the gobd things that ‘were on sale. It is to be regretted that a concern of this magnitude was obliged to retire from the field of its usefnlness. But since this had been decided upon ard the announcement made that it was to bea closing out sale, giving up busi- ness, that representation was received with sincerity by the purch; g masses and the response thereto was hitherto unequaled. The merit of the sale was best advertised by the people who at- tended and their expressions on leaving the store. The sale will continue until the stock is sold down to where it can be sold in a lump to some other merchant. —————— ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. Hon. Robert Lunn iiorton Died in Aus- tin, Nev., Last Thursday. The remains of the late Hon.

The Committee Does Not Think the Pastor Ought to Go Under Fire. He Is Asked to Remain in the Pulpit for the Gool of the Church A committee of the Emanuel Baptist Church has urged Rev. J. George Gibson to withdraw his resignation. Committeemen Taber, Daub, Dimmick, Bryant and Davis had a meeting at the resiaence of Mr. Taber Iast night. After fully discussing the condition of the or- ganization and the services of their pase tor the committee decided that it would be for the best interests of the church for the pastor to continue his servicas. Speaking of the meeting Mr. Taber said: “We have decided to invite Mr, Gibson to continue his pastorate, and we have instructed our secretary to wire him a letter expressing our views. That letter wiil reach him on Monday morning, and we hove he will decide to continue his work with us.” It is not known just why tbe pastor wanted to leave the church.
