Will in Future Carry Sugar and Run in the Hono- lulu Trade, Transformation of the Old Pilot-Boat Caleb Curtis Into a Pala- tial Yacht. The ship Fort George arrived from : Englend yesterday, completing her last | voyage under the British flag. she has been sold to parties fn Hopolult and in | future will be reported as the Hawaiian | ship Fort George. Capuain Adam, who | brought her out, will retire and according | to report Captain Morse, late of the Ala- meda, will assume command. The Fort George is an old trader to this Ten years ago she was here in com- mand of Capiain Hanna and when the | latter gentieman went into the steamboat | business Captain Tuxen took command. When the Fort George was sold she was turned over to Captain Adam, and be | orought her to San Francisco. The Fort George is a very handsome vessel and weil appointed. She is not a fast sailer and no record-breaking trips between here and Honolulu may be expected irom her. The old pilot-boat Caleb Curtis has been heard {from again. Now she is classed as Hongkong on special occasions. Years | ago the Curtis was well known on the bar and in the bay. Then she became too slow for the service and was sold toa party of seal-hunters. One trip to the coast of Japan disgusted the hunters and they sold the vessel to a man who was | newly married and had money to invest | in a South Sea itland trading cruise. His | | bride handled the venture, and when she had secured all the funds she deserted her husband in Hongkong and came back to San Francisco. The Curtis was sold, and now the officers of the belgic say that the | boat has been transformed into one of the handsomest yachts in the Orient. The schooner Berwick, which left here onthe 19th inst. for Rogue River. hada lively time of it. When off Cape Mendo- cino she sprang a leak and all hands went to the pumps. The water did uot gain | | ground "and the vessel was kept on her | | course until the pumps choked. Then the | | schooner was put about and run back for | San Francisco. As soon as possible she | | will be placed on the drydock and thor- | | oughly overhauled before again being sent | to sea. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s | Umatilla arrived from Puget Sound ports sterday. On this occasion there was no | tilt between ‘hs quarantine officers and the steamer was aliowed to dock at once. Cnptain Hunter reports a fair-weather | passage and no incidents of any note. | * The renovaied steamer Portland was | speeded around the bay vesterday and | made an excellent showing. On this oc- | casion the guests were confined to the | friends of Joun Rosenfeld and Lis sons. | " Ross & Hewlett's new gasoline schooner, | La Chalena, bad her trial trip on the bay | vesterday. She is intended for the Fort | Ross trade, and quite a number of people | were down from that vicinity to sez what the new boat can do. La Chalens is only a small boat, but has & 40-vower en- | gine, and is in consequence the fastest | vessel of her vlass in the bay. | The United States steamer Concord | | went into commission yesterday, and | when ber stores are aboard will start for Honolulu. From Honolulu she will zo to | the China station, where she may end her days. At one time it was said that the | old warship would never leave Mare { I-land again, but it now appears that she | can fill a gap and allow one of the new | cruisers to fill a more important position. |~ Captain Bonniheld of the steamer Hum- | { boldt has a sm=ll bill to settie with the | Harbor Commissioners. While docking | | at Third-street wharf the engines did not | answer quick enough, snd the vessel crashed into the structure, doing damage 10 the extent of $50. Little or noinjury was done to the steamer. The captain and cook of the Dirigo held & reception on board yesterday. There were gay times on “the only American teel sailing ship afloat” for a few hours, | and one of the biggest sailors in the crew | warn away reporters. | _ The British ship Scottish Lochs from | Junin, Peru, for San Francisco, was spoken in latitnde 14 south, longitude 98 | west, by the Fort George. The captain signal-d the Fort George that his vesse! | was very foul, and that she was making | slow progress. Six months ago J. 8. Kimball & Co. sent | the steam schooner Protection to Central | American ports to ascartain the chances for a new steamship line. It is now as- | | I serted that the prospects are so good that a iine of large steamers will be put on the route. Jo n H. Bullock of the Kimball Company will not confirm the story, how- ever, and neither will he deny it. *"We are merely trying to build upa more ex- tensive trade with Mexico, Ceniral and South America,”’ said he yesterd “If the business comes up to our expectations we will puton a line of large steamers. 1f not there will be nothing done.” NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Lieutenant-Commander MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. Special Committes Map Out a Line of Action for Mass-Moet- ings. The special commitiee appointed by | President George R. Fletcher of the Asso- ciated Improvement Clubs, consisting of A. W. Thompson, Leon Samuels, C. W. Alpers, William Metzaer, B. McKinne, C. W. Maxon and J. H. Grady, met last nightin the office of Ledn Samuels, at 530 California street. An organization was formed by electing A. W. Thompson chairman and Leon Samuels secretary. Chairman Thompson expressed his opin- jon that the o!d way of fighting every year for a reduction of waler rates was simply a repetition of the old story; t.e people were getting the worst end of the matter, Major McKinne advocated an appeal to the people direct. It was decided to invite each organiza- tion 1n the City to send one of its mem- bers to co-operate with the committee in setting up a series of mass-meetinga on the subject of municipal ownership of gas and water plants. The following sub-committee was ap- vointed: Board of Trade, Jo-eph Scheerer; Chamber of Commerce, Charles Alpers; Mearchants’ Association, Major B. Me- Kinne; Civie Federation, A. W. Thomp- son; Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation, William Metzner; Builders’ Asscciation, John H. Grady; Retail Gro- rers’ and Butchers’ Board of Trade, Leon Samuels. 1t is the intention of the committee at the next meeting, which will be held June | 1, to have a full representation from all these organizations, at which time fur- ther action will be taken. g e OHURCH OF THE ADVENT.

AN TNGRATFEFUL CUSTOMER. John Lillis, a Thief, Gets Three Months in Jail, John Lillis went into the shoestore of Leo Watter, 427 Fourth street, on Friday and took off uis shoes, asking Walter to repair them. Walter considerately gave him a pair of slippers to wear while wait- ing for his shoes. Litlis chatted with Walter for a few minutes and then began to pace up and down the store. Walter continued work- ing on the shoes, and looking round missed Lillis and also two pairs of shoes. He jumped to his feet and ran out of the store. He saw Lillis speeding along the street and gave chase, calling upon Police- man Hurley to arrest the thief. Hurley is a sprinter, and soon overtook Lillis and placed him under arrest. n, ang); ny Yesterday morning Lillis was convicted | by Judge Campbe!l and sentenced to three | months in the County Jail, ana Walter got his two pairs of shoes and slippers rom Property Clerk Moran, “MIDAS" AND “SPORT."

SAW GLACIER POINT | AND PASSED AWAY Sad and Sudden Death of A. N. Madden, a Rich Calcutta Planter. Was on His Way to London With Colonel Madden of the English Army. The Deceased Wa:; Uamarried and Possess:d Large Wealth—Buricd in the Va.l:y. A sad and strange death occurred in the Yosemite Valley on Monday last, none of the facts of which were known here till yesterday. Something over a week ago the steamer China arrived here from the Orient. Among her passengers were Colonel G. C, Mudden and A.N. Madden, brothers, of Cal- cutta, India. Tue colonel has been many years in the British army, and his brother was for a long time an exlensive tea- erower of Calcutta. The brothers were on their way, aiter long years of absence from their native land, to London, to mest friends and attend the Queen’s jubilee. Having arrived bere and being so close to the Yosemite, the great garden of nat- ural wonders of which they had so long heard, they concluded to spend a few days in seeing it. They set out within a day or two, and on arriving in the valley regis- tered at the Sentinel House. and then began to see the sights, climbing some of the loftiest eminences. It appears, bowever, that the exertion was too great, for within a few hours after they set out, A. N. Madden was suddenly stricken down, and t ough medical at- tendance was at hand, he died ®tue next day, and was buried in the valley. Colonel Madden returned to the Occi- dental yesterday alone, and the maneger of the hotel not having heard previously of the death of bis former guest, was muck: surprised ai the news given, and the sad fate of the brother. “After_we got to the Yosemite,” said Colonel Madden a little later, “‘we went forth to look at it. We had looked around aw hile, and ciimbed to Glacier Point and bebeld other objects of interest. Going down tothe hotei my brotherseemed abut the same as usnal, but aiter dinner he fell down unconscious. He was carried at delphia, alto a tourist, attended him. But he grew no better.

Stanley says that Strong sold him & publication known as the ““Official Bulletin of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway Company,” nuder representations that it was worh a great deal of money, and that he could net a good revenue therefrom. He al- leges that the ststements made by Strong were untrue, and he wishes to have the bar- gain annulled. ——————— Rev. Dr. Steel’s Address To-Day. National Secretary Rev. 8. A.
