CASTORIA For Infants and Children. very _upe. N FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1897 DOCKING OF THE BIG SHP DIRIGO Almost Given Up She Came in Looking Like a Yacht. The Galilee, From Tahiti, Was Dccking at the Same Time at the Same Wharf. Arrival of Prescott Sawyer’'s Long- Overdue Yacht Josephine From Seattle. The docking of the only American steel ship afloat and that of the brig Galilee at Howard-street wharves yesterday was one of the prettiest pieces of tugboating ever seen on the bay. The Spreckels tug Vigi- lant, Captain Jobn Silovich, had to re- move the schooner Queen before either vessel could make her berth. She was just outside her landing when the Dirigo and Galilee hove in sight. The big ship was in tow of Active and the Red- mond haa charge of the Galilee. For a tes all six vessels were bunched, then the Galilee began to forge The captain of the Reamond soon tow alongside a schooner that was the head of Howard No. 2, and therefore made it_wore difficult to dock the Dirigo. Captain Joe Trewin was equal to the occasion, however, and one of the prettiest jobs ever done on the water front was the result. The big 2800-ton ship was Holmeren on handled like a yacht and placed alongside he wharf ten minutes later than the salilee. In talking about the trip Captain Good- win said: ““Why on earth did you people put us down as overdue? We are a few days over an average passage, but any- body who knows the Horn would never have placed the Dirigo amoug the overdue et. After the Howth spoke us we en- ntered a gale that lasted four days. L our canvas was blown away and for thirty hours the ship was under bare poles. “The run from New York to the Cape was made in fifty-seven days and at that time I would have wagered all the money [ have in the world that I would have made the run to San Francisco in 130 days. The storm blew me back and then 1 Iiad to zigzag my way back to my origi nal position. From 50 south our general run was sixty miles a day. Off Masa Fuera Island we lay becalmed for a week, and from that on we had nothing but light winds and calms. Just to show how everything was against us I have made the run from 50 south to the equator in 17 days 8 hours in the ship Sterling, whereas | it took me fifty aays to cover the same | distance this trip.” To look at the Dirigo no one woula ever think she had been battered and beaten around the Horn. Shelooks as trim alow i aloft as a yacht and her sides show no signs of heavy weatner. Waves broke over her continuously, but not a bolt | started and the vessel 1s now, aiter ber | severe test, classed as one of the finest el vessels afloat. She may not be a flier, { but as a sample of American workman- ship there is nothing afloat superior to the Dirigo. The brig Galilee, which arrived from Tahiti, bronght very little news. The war was over and the natives who escaped the French forces were returning to their vil- lages. The gunboats that took the Queen and high chief to New Caledonia and the minor chiefs and principal rebels to an island of the Marquesas group, had not returned and in consequence Papeete was desolate. According to the officers of the Galilee the trouble is now over forever and the natural productivenessof the Is- lands is so great that in a few months no one will ever know that there had been a war. The Galilee left 1n port the schooner Norma, which_was to sail for San Fran- v April 14 last. The schooner yacht Josephine arrived from Tacoma yesterday after a fair pas- sage of fourteen days. Prescott Sawyer, son of the late Circuit Judge Sawyer, was in command of her, and at one time she was given up for lost. However, a gale sprang up ana the little boat was an- chored in safe sheiter. When the gale subsided the Josephine made a fresh start. The party is on pleasure bent. The ship Elwell arrived from Nanaimo yesterday, having made the round trip in twenty-eight days. As Captain Ryder has again broken the thirty-day record Mr. Mighles will again have to pay for a $30 suit for him. The sloop-of-war Alert came down from Mare Island yesterday after a thorough overhauling. She will go to Alaska and at Sitka will take the Pintain tow. The latter ‘‘warship” has_been condemned and will come to Mare Island to discharge her crew. Then the old-time relic will go on the retired list. Captain “Pete’” Ott, the most popular pilot in California, has been a very sick man for the last two weeks. Yesterday he was abie to be around again for a few hours, and the greeting he received did him more good tuan all the medicine he had taken. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Aus- tralia sailed for Honolulu yesterday after- noon with the following cabin passengers: Miss Mary Allen, A. B. Bauman, Miss 5. Bay- lor, W. R. Boote, Mrs. W, R. Boote, Miss Boote, Miss C. Bowditeh, Miss G. R. Brockie, Mrs. E. bell, John Caffrey, Mrs, Bruce Cart- ss Cartwrigat, Bruce Cartwright Jr., maShaw Colcleugh, Miss G. M. Cooke, .. A.

Mcbonald, A, Michdllischke, , Isaac Upham Jr. rand five chilaren. Neariy all of them had friends down to see them off, and all had bouquets to pre- sent to their friends before the steamer pulled out. In consequence the side of the Australia next the wnarf looked more like a bower, albeit there was many a handkerchief in sight. The following masters of sailing vessels have passed examinations in McNevin Bros.” navigation school, and have re- ceived United States certificates from the United States inspectors of hulls and boil- erstoacton steam vessels in the follow- ing capacity: A. Johnson, formerly master of the three- masted schooner Beulah, master and pilot in mate of any steamer or vessel 5. James Davis, mate of any steamer or vessel under 1500 tons. W. G. Krebs, mate of any ocean steamer under 2000 tons. Charles Volker, mate in any ocean. Thomas Henry Nolan made his escape from Rocklin, Placer County, a few days ago and was locked up in the Harbor police station. This is the thira time the 9-year-old has attempted to circomnavi- gate the globe, and on each occasion he has met his Nemesis in San Francisco. Captain Dunleavy easily recognized the little follow yesterday and at once tele- graphed to his father, whoisa well-kn miner in Piacer County.

They and the Tugs Made a Pretty Picture ATTORNEY CAMPBELL NOW HAS IS SAY Will Present Carl W. von Tiedemann’s Defense To-Day. Testimony Will Be Offered to Show That the Priscner Was Victimized. Presented to the Court and Jury as a Guileless Young Man Who Su’- fered From a Conspiracy. Carl W. von Tiedemann felt considera- ble relief yesterday afternoon when D p- uty District Attorney Black announced to Judge Wallace that the prosecution had no further testimony to offer touching Von Tiedemann’s guilt on a charge of perjury for swearing that Mrs. Sarah Owen Spencer impersonated Mrs, Harriet P. Christy. After a brief consultation with his client Attorney Alexander Campbell made a pre- Jiminary statement of what he expected to prove in the case for Von Tiedemann’s defense. Mr. Campbell said he would show to the satisfaction of the jury that Von Tiedemann was an inexperienced young man who had s little money and wanted to go in business for himself; that he looked about him and was attracted by the real estate outlook, so he opened an office for the selling and renting of land; that while thus engaged he feil a victim to the schemes of that chief of swindlers, Guy 8. Whitcomb, who was assisted in his vile schemes by John H. Fidler, Lincoln Carr and others who are unknown to the police. Mr. Campbell said he would further prove that the unscrupulous persons he had named conspired to defraud not only the clients of Von Tiedemann but Von Tiedemann himself, and that this prosecu- tion is being pressed by some who had not been as successful as they had hoped in obtaining boodle. Von Tiedemann through the trial has maintained his dignified deportment. He 1s_constantly attended by two faithfut friends who are present at every session of the court. In the first part of the day John H. Fid- ler, alias Pratt, ahias Christy, a convict now doing time in the State Prison at Fol- som, testified that he was associated with Von Tiedemann in the fraudulent transac- tion which led to the mortgaging of prop- erty belonging to Mrs. Harriet P. Christy, and that Von Tiedemann knew all about the false impersonation of Mis. Christy when he swore that the person looked like a picture of Sarah Owen Spencer; that, in fact, Von Tiedemann knew it was not Mrs. Spencer who impersonated Mrs. Christy. Lincoln Carr, a ‘mer partner of Von Tiedemann, who is now serving a term in the State Prison at Folsom, for a transac- tion in which Fialer and Von Tiedemann were said to be interested, was calied as a witness for the prosecution. He proved a voluble talker and gave a detailed history of his connection with Von Tiedeman He said he was present when Guy 8. ‘Whitcomb and John 8. Fidler had a talk with Thompson, one of the victims of the half-interest swindlers. Hedid not hear all that was said, but heard them demand $150 oi Thompson. Learning that Thomp- son had only $100 they agreed to take that and he went to the bank to get the money. Thompson subsequently came in and gave the money to Kidler. He saw some $20 gold pieces, Whitcomb and a man named HKgbert were also present and Von Tiede- mann was concerned 1n the affair, arr swore that he advised Thompson to have nothing to do with the job that was being offered to him by Whitcomband the others. No definite information could be ob- tained from Carr ir regard to the forgery of Mrs. Christy’s signaiure and the pro- duction of a bogus mortgage on her prop- erty, but the witness was permitted to recount a siynificant conversation be- tween Von Tiedeman and Whitcomb. “‘One day in 1894 Whitcomb came into our office,”’ said Carr, “‘and began to talk with Von Tiedeman. He was telling how he intended to do up San Francisco before he left. He said he knew of several good modes of doing business; thatif he only had possession of a good piece of property or the titls to it he could raise the money easily. To this Von Tiedeman replied: ‘1 lwm get the property if you will get the 4 money.’ Then Whitcomb can get the money all carry my end all right,’ and Von Tiede- man again said: ‘Uil _carry my part of it through all right.” I didn’t hear them say what property it was they wonld get.” Mr. Campbell produced a long letter written in the County Jail and asked Carr if he was the author. At first he was in- clinea to deny, but at last said that it looked like his handwriting, and finally admitted that it was sent by him in reply to notes sent him by Von Tiedeman. The first part of it is as follows: MarcE 21 That I may not forget the day of the month I will write for w little note, in_part reply to yours. 1donotthink that some parties are doing just right by letting me stay here and notsojnuch as to come 1o see me when I'm the only thing to stop them from taking a {ree ride. Iallowed myself to be brought here to save them, though eminent counsel advised me not to do so, but o give them all up. I | thought I had better suffer the ignominy of jail iife for a few dnysif need be rather than one person should lose a few of the best years of their lives if this sacrifice can save them. My case cannot be made better or worse by any one except the knowledge of What you | gave me and I cannot swear where that came irom, as I'saw no money paid to any one. Then ioliows a detailed plan to be fol- lowed by Von Tiedemann in giving his tes- timony so that all might get out of the scrape without being j\slled for a long term. In this heexonerated Von Tiedemann from blame. One paragraph reads: I also told him (Lees) that the men came tnere and did the talking and then left; that 1 saw no mouey paid to any one and got no money myseli. Before he got through Carr was com- velled to admit that he had slept with Half- interest Swindler Whitcomb and that he had been in partnership with several other half-interest swindlers, some of whom are fugitives from justice. The taking of testimony for the aefense will begin to- WL WED h B SHMLL Mrs. Annie Laurie Worcester the Fair Bride to No Arrangements Havs Yet Been Made for the Quiet July Wedding. A. H. Small, the popular young society and club man, is about to forsake the ranks of bachelordom and take unto him- self a wife. The lady who is going to make Mr, Small the happiest of men is Mrs. Annie Laurie Worcester, daughter of Colonel and Mrs. J. P. Jackson. The young couple have been engaged for some four weeks, and have as yet made no formal announcement. The secret, which was certainly too good to keep, came out inadvertently yesterday, and while it will not altogetber astonish their friends, will doubtless pleasantly surprise them. No arrangements have as yet been made for the wedding. All that’ has thus far been decided is that the ceremony will take place in July and is to be extremely aquiet. Mr. Small is preparing a home for his bride on Octavia street, between Wash- ington and Jackson, and here, after the honeymoon, the newly wedded pair will g0 to housekeeping. — ———— BARRY'S FRAGRANT WEEDS, Stolen From the Justice’s Chambers and Bad Cigars Substituted. One of the recent burglaries that has not been reported to the police, but threatens to establish a wide breach between Jus- tices of the Peace, occurred threedays ago at the City Hall, in the chambers ot Jus- tice Barry. The latter discovered that his special apartment had been visited during his temporary absence and that his private desk had been entered. The only property stolen was about eighty 25-cent cigars remaining out of a box of 100 presented the Justice last week by an admirer of his. The thief, however, must have entered some ot place shortly before that time, purlolning other cigars, of a rope kind, which he thoughtfully subsiituted for the better and fragrant weeds. Justice Barry is very sore over the oc- currence, although his friends, and par- ticularly Justice Groezinger, who have all been smoking pnrdcnlnlfi good cigars of late, laugh the matter oif asa capital joke.

He Has Served Four Terms for Burglary and Twice Es- caped Conviction, The Police Bslieve He Murdered Policeman Jobn Nicholson Thir- .« tren Years Ago Lee Sing, alias Les Ah Kee, alias Lee Ah Wing, who was arrested Monday by Detectives Gibson and Wren for stealing a diamond ring from a servant-girl in the house of Mrs. Popper, Castro street, where he was & cook, is an ex-convict and will be deported to China by the next steamer. Lee has for years been suspected of be- ing the murderer of Policeman John Nicholson in the early morning of Feb- ruary 16, 1884, which at the time caused a great sensatiun throughout the City. Prior to the murder Lee had been twice convicted aud served terms in_San Quen- tin for burglary, and twice he bad escaped punishment for burglary and robbery through insufficient evidence. He was first sentenced on October 12, 1878, to two and a half years under the name of Les Ah Kee, and on November 27, 1880, he got four years under the name of Lee Ah Wing. Nicholson was patrolling his beat in the early morning of February 16, 1884, when he discovered a Chinese burglar in a grocery on the corner of Pacific and Leav- enworth streets. The burglar ran out of the place and up the hill pursued by Nicholson, who kept firing at him to make him stop. After running about a block and a half Nicholson after emptying his revolver overtook the burglar while he was crossing a vacant lot. The burglar was carrying & clock and he wheeled round and threw it at Nicholson, striking him on the forehead d partially stunning him. Then wit sharp chisel the burglar cut Nicholson’s throat, severing the jugular vein. There was a hook and ladder company close by and hearing the shooting firemen ran out and found Nicholson stretched out on the vacant lot dead, with his finger on the trigger of his revolver. The burg- lar had escaped, but his shoes, the clock and the chisel were found in the vicinity of the murder. Every effort was made to find the mur- derer and several Chinese were arrested, but as nothing could be proved against them they were released from custody. Lee fled to Sacramento County and about two months afterward was arrested for burglary there and on July 19 was sen- tenced to five years under the name of Ah Kee. While in the Sacramento jail awaiting his trial he spoke of Nicholson’s murder and showed such a familiarity with the details ana the locality that sus- picion since then has pointed to him as the murderer. On November 3, 1883, he was again sentenced in this City to five years for burglary and was sent to the Folsom penitentiary. On this occasion he gave the name of Lee Ah Lee. Detectives Gibson and Wren had a talk with him yesterday morning about Nichol- son’s murder. He insisted that he was in San Quentin serving a sentence at the time, but the records show that he was at liberty then and for two months later, when he was arrested in Sacramento County. The detectives saw the United States District Attorne; y and, after sub- mitting Lee's criminal record, it was de- cided to deport Lee by the next steamer for China, where his head wilt likeiy be cnt off.

A Schilling & Compan FOUND A MAN IN A BIG JAR Queer Painted Beads and Images in the Mounds of Tomola. Marvelous Buried City in Which Trees Have Grown That Are Centuries 0ld. H. R Freear Tells of the Ancient Temples and Brilliant Birds Unknown to Sciences From time to time lately word has been received here of strange mounds and buried cities on the borders of Tehuante- pec and in the remote stretch of the con- tinent toward Yucatan. However, no eye-witness of these relics of bygone ages has arrived here, and in the minds of many the stories of the wonders observed there have been taken with grains of allowance. Notwithstsnding this it is unquestioned that the ancient mounds, built for what. ever purpose, do exist, and it is also cer- tain a city has been discovered so old that trees as much as four or five feet thick have grown up among the ruined temples. H. R. Freear of this City, who with sev- eral friends went to Tapachula, in the extreme southern part of Mexico, sev- eral months ago, has returned here. He says that at a point about eight miles from the port of I‘:mola he and his party found three preat mounds. Each was from 25 to 30 feet high and from 60 to 75 feet across at the base. In one of these he and his party being short of water began digging, They commenced at & point about six feet from the ground and dug down about four and a half feet. At that depth they struck a huge jar made of earthenware. *It was about four feet high, three feet wide and nearly half an inch thick,” said Mr. Freear, “and what do you suppose was in it? A human skeleton. It was the skeleton of a_very big man, because my uncle, E, J. Crabtree, who was with me, and who is & very bizg man himself, took the thighbone and measured it with his own. Itextended over two or three inches, The skeleton was complete, none of the bones being wanting. It appeared that the body had been pressed down in the jar. Around the jar, scattered through the soil, were many beads in bright colors. There were Leads of alligators, cows, one deer head, fish and other figures of ani- mals of different kinds, all in earthen ware, as well as several kinds of pottery. We dug througb the soil with a machete, and had no difficulty in finding a great many strange relics. They had no doubt been buried there for hundreds of vears. The natives there refer to the mounds as the work of the antiguas or ancients. “While this was very remarkable it was nothing to s discovery made near Comotan in a great forest not far from the border of Yucatan. In tbat forest is a very old city with a street extending for more ihan a mile, where stone temples and many other kinds of buildings may be seen. Some of the buildings have withstood the effects of time and are intact, or nearly so, while others have fallen partly down, the stones being scattered every which way. “In the streets of this silent city, once so busy with life, and_growing up through the houses, were io be seen enormous forest trees. Many of the trees were as much as five feet each ‘n diameter. It had been hundreds ana maybe thousands of years since the strange ciiy haa been deserted of humankind. The temples, many of them, were in a good state of preservation. In the rooms wers things used in household affairs, and thousands on thousands of more vaiuable antiquities of different kinds. It isa most interesting field for an explorer, especially if of a scientific turn of mind. “When [ go back, as I expect soon to do, I shall take, if possible, one or two scientists with me. I especially want to take along a skilled taxidermist, because there are many remarkabie birds' there of rare plamage and of a kind not to be found in such collections as are to be seen at the Academy of Sciences and other places here.
