10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 24, 1897. S = S SIS S PAPE WINS THE DIAMOND MEDAL Result of the Dolphin Club’s Annual Rowing Regatta. Two Vicious Brawls Cause Trouble cn the British Ship Caradoc. A Yacht Capsized Near Goat Island. Another Accident to the Madeline. Alexander W. Pape stands forth the proud, acknowledged champion rower of the Dolphin Boat Club. He demonstrated that fact conclusively in the annual re- and it will be two or three days before the vessel can make another start. The British ship Caradoc, lying off Union-street, was the scene of two bloody | contests yesterday, which ended in the arrest of five seamen, and the first mate, Robert Ferguson, being treaied at the Receiving Hospital for a_lacerated wound on the left cheek. His eye was also badly colored. It is carged that William Flower first threatened to kill Captain Jones because he refused to pay the men off, and that he was forced to lock himself in his state- room. Then Alired Alexis and Georce Watt threatened to kill the mate, and these three sailors were arrested and taken 1o the Harbor poiice station by Officers | Crosby and H. C. Smith. | Later on another row arose between the mate and two sailors named James Mait- land and Thomas Eliiott. The British ship Strosa srrived in port and anchored off Meiggs’ wharf yesterday afternoon. She is from Shangbai, Cap- tain Hennine. | News arrived on her of the death of Captain Brooks at the English hospital in Shangbaion April 14 The deceased was | 60 yearsof age and well and favorably known on the coast. He was obliged to | leave the ship fourteen days prior to her departure, and death resulted from di- | abetes. |~ The San Juan arrived late in the even- ing from Panama and way ports. She bad only ore cabin passenger and a gen- | eral cargo. | Two voungsters on the sloop Mand nar- rowly escaped a bad accident off Meizgs | wharf only by the foresight of Captain John Leary of the plunger.

Patch. The course lay between Black Point and Poweil-street wharf. It is about three-fourths of a mile in length. The start was made at 11:45 A. ., and the race took hardly fifteen minutes. Pape led from the start, with Keenan second. When Powell-street w harf was reached he was abowt five boat lengths in the lead. Keenan finished second on the retarn, about 100 yards behind Pape, motwith- standing the fact that he collided with the Government vessel Sternberg and was de- layed to some extent. CaptainMcDonald of the Sternberg stood on Meiggs wharf loudiy shouting for Pape. It was aiterward stated as a *josn”’ that Keenan tried to knock a hole in the vessel’s stern to get even, but the odds were two great. A. Rothkopf acted as referee, Thomas Suilivan as timer and James Cronin as clerk of the course. The judges were Adam Schupert, Richard Blennerhassett and Edward Sullivan. There were Lwo visiting crews present from the Ariel Club. The occasion was enhanced in_valve to the observers by a fancy exuibition by Victor Caglieri in an Indian kyack. The Frencn steamer Madeline seems to add to the list of accidents with the regu- larity and pertinacity of an eight-day clock. She started for the Peruvian oil fields by way of San Jose de Guatemala yesterday morning and when off Jack- | sou-street wharf her reversing gear broke, She wa< towed back up the stream hy the tag Vigilant, and was anchored off Harri- son-street wharf.

There was a fine ducking of two nice high-spirited gentlemen in the bay an hour before church time yesterday morn- ing. The shert was fast, wind and boat were both scudding and the tide was rip- ving around Goat Island at the time. There was a flip, a straddling of a keel | and a rescue act by the crew of the ferry- boat Eucinal. Then for several hours | there was a vague, wandering, three-crow story about the water front that a yacht- ing party had been capsized and four pec- | ple drowned. When the Eucinal crossed to Alameda on her9:15 A. a. trip Captain Hemsworth sSWung a little out of his way to pass near an upturned sloop which was seen float- ing with two men on 1ts upturned bot- tom. The captain had a pienic train to make I connections with and so he just sang out in a neighborly way that he would stop for way passengers near Goat Island on his nrxt trip. The two men who were suffering a salt water bath in comparative safety, said “‘all right,” and made the best of waiting for a ferry-boat. Coming back the Ecinal went after the men and at an expense of seven m:nutes put out a boat and took them oft. Ona was a heavy set middle-aged man with side whiskers and the othrr a young man and both were apparently Alamedans out for a pleasure s in a plunger. Neither would give name or residence or the name of their sloop and at the ferry landing husted off to avoid fame. The young man wanted to bhunt up the lost boat which the tide was sweeping zround Geat Island toward the Berkeley shore, but “—— the boat, I've had encugh of her,” said the whiskered victim. They gave no explanation of how the accident happened, but_everybody said ‘the sheet was fast” and that must be it. Tne victims had hot whisky in piace of an inquest. JONES FASTER THAN ZIEGLER The Popular Olympian De- feats the “Little Demon” of San Jose. He Also Shared With Eiford the Honors in the Open Pre- fessional Events. J E. Wing, the Olympic Amateur, Was Victorious in His Cless A'ftex a Hard Ride. A well-filled grandstand, a tuneful band of music and a stiff wind greeted the cycle racers at the Velodrome yesterday afternoon. The two first named features were quite agreeable, and the latter rather the reverse, but nevertheless the mer rode spiritedly and furnished a good day’s sport. The match races between Allan Jones and Otto Ziegler Jr. resulted in a victory for Jones, ke winning two of the three events. The races were well contested and Jones merited the victory. There was some talk about Ziegler not being in shape, but be it said to his credit it did not emanate from the “Little Demon' himself. They will have it out again be- fore long, and a return match would be well worth seeing. J. E. Wing of the Olympic Wheelmen had his mnings yes terday. After making fastest time in the Olympic’s ten-mile road race at San Leandro in the morning, he rode in the only amateur event in the afternoon at the Velodrome and won it from over twenty other starters after first qualifying in preliminary and semi-final heats. Wing is a consistent performer, and is seldom unplaced in a race. The first heat of the match races be- tween Jones and Ziegler was the opening card on the long programme. Clint Coul- ter was put in 10 pace the heat, the dis- tance being a half mile. Ziegler was first off, and was never headed, although Jones madea game and desperate attempt to pass him on the last turn. The time was 1:064-5, very fast considering the strong wind the riders had to face on the back- stretch. The distance of the second heat was one mile. Coulter again paced, and this time Jones caught first position behind him. It was again the oid story; Jones once in front is practically unbeatable, for he led by a full wheel’s length at the tape after a pretty sprint lasting balf a lap. The time was 2 3-5. ‘The third heat of the match race was at two miles. It was paced by Coulter and W. S. Dent on a tandem for all but the lest leap of the distance. The accidental discharge of the starter’s pistol made one false start, and the next time the gun would not fire, but they finally got away to a good start, and the tandem drew them around at a speedy clip, Ziegler get- ting first place behind it. The first mile was covered in 2:23. When the «print came Ziegler had the lead, but Jones soon drew up alongside of him and they were on even terms rounding into the” homestretch. Jones continued to forge ahead and crossed the tape inches ahead of his opponent. The victory was a popular one and Jones was liberaily ap- piauded. The time for the two miles was 4 the last mile being ridden in were two heats to the half-mile handicap, professional. In the first H. BE. McCrea, Frank Bymne and M. Bleuler started. McCrea was the virtual scratch man snd came to the front when he thought it time, winning in a close finish with Byrne. Elford set all the pace in the second beat, but was outsprinted by Davis, Boye den running third. This qnalified Boyden, Elford, Byrne, McCrea and Davis for the final. Eiford had a good lead with sixty yards handi- cap and rode bard from the very start—so hard that the others cou'd not catch him. He was materially aided by the fact that Boyden was forced to set all the pace for the back-mark men, none of them offer- ing to relieve him. McCrea jumped out on the last lap and got second from Davis in a close finish. The starters in the two-thirds of a mile, open, professional, were McCrea, Jones, Bleuler, Boyden, Elford and Davis. It was run in one heat, unpaced. After exchanging pace for three laps, Bleuler jumped to the front, but was soon supvlanted by Jones, who led all the way to the tape, closely pursued by Davis and McCrea. The time was 1:36 2-5. One of the best finishes of the day was seen in the first heat of the half-mile, scratch, amateur, Wyman, Mott, Kraft and Birdsall finishing in the order named inches apart. Deacon of the Reliance Club won the second heat, Bozio (Imperial) second, George Fuller should have been placed, but was crowded by the inexperience of another rider on the turns. Morris Cook won the next heat, with room to spare, Norton second. Gooch of Oakland took the fourth heat, Smith (Acme) second. There was a narrow escape in this run, Haley and Wing col- liding, apparently from the fault of neither, so they were both allowed in the final. So many had qualified for the final it was decided to divide it into two sami- finals. Cook and Wyman qualified in the first semi-final and” Deacon, Gooch and Wing in the second. The final was the preitiest ride of the day, the five men all crossing the tape in a bunch, Wing got the decision from Deacon, Cook third. The time was 1:05 1-5. The following is the summary : One-half mile handicap, professional—First heat won by H. E. McCrea, Los Angeles; time, 1:121-5. Second, F. M. Byrne, Imperial. Third, M. Bleuler, France.

ATTORNEY TUBB GROWS EARNEST Threatens Witnesses and Elects Himself the De- fender of Durrant. Predicts That the Condemned Man Will Never Be Hanged. He Visits Miss Edna Lucille Turn'r and Trics to Enlist Her Sympathies. Evidence scems to be growing, accord- ing to Chief Lees, to prove that the bysterical lurches to prove Durrani’s in- nocence are infections. In addition to the confession of Rosenberg and the silly story of Uaptain Bryan of the Colorado Old Boldiers’ Home, the police are now contending with the efforts of one Tubb, said 10 be & lawyer, and described by Mr. Deuprey as “a young man who means all right.” Tubb’s latest freak is to try tointimidate members of the Emanuel Church and others into signing a petition for Dur- rant’s pardon. He seems to have elecied himself a sort of oracular guide for the defense, having said yesterday: “Durrant won’t hang on the day set, or on any other day.” {fin Edna Lacille Turner said yester- day: “Mr. Tubb called on me Tuesday. He had come, so he said, to give me an opportunity to tell what I knew about the murder that occurred in Emanuel Church. He further said that he was go- ing to save Theo ore Durrant at any cost and tbat he meant to make it pratty warm for the witnesses of the prosecution. He said he had called on Eimer Wolf and or Glbson and bad given them the same chance, but that Pastor Gibson in his wisdom had declined to say anything; and neither did I, for I've been too long in this case to be bullyragged by any one.” The next day the_story about Eimer ‘Wolf appeared in the Examiner. Chief Lees believes the Governor will not interiere in the case. He is to have a conference with Governor Budd to-day, and the two will go over the evidence thoroughly. “I believe,” said the Chief erday, *‘that the case will be decided “any time between Tuesday and Friday, and I base my opinion on what the Governor told me. The more he studies the case the more fully he will see the defendant had the widest latitude and the fairest trial possible.’” STABBED IN THE BACK. Sam Demetti Injured in an Altercation at Garibaldi Hall. Yesterday’s festivities in the Latin quarter of the City wound up with biood spilled on Broadway, in which Sam De- metti received a kuife thrust back of the right shoulder-blade. As near us could be ascertained from the excited Iialians who participated in an entertainment given by the Italian Real Carabinieri Mutual Aid Society, Demetti tried to gain admission to the hall. This was refused by Joseph Merino,who told him to go away, and at the same time gave him a shove, and, it is said, followed it up with a blow of hiy hand in which he held an knife. Demett1 screamed with pain and in- formed his friends that he had been cut. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital. It was found that he had received a stab back of the right shoulder blade. The wo‘cu;ul is not necessarily fatal, though painful. Merino was arrested and charged at the California-street station with an assault to commit murder, s AFTER THE GOLD OF THE NORTH James Brazell Leaves This City With Seven Score Miners. An English Syndicate Under- takes a Big Prospecting Excursicn. The Kootenay Country Northwest of Rosslani, B. C,, Is to Bs Worked Svstematical.y. Seven years ago English capital was looking for investment in the mining re- gions of British Colunibia. At that time James Brazell, Patrick Kirwin and George Wells, the well-known enginsers, visited the country about Kootenay and Rossiand, and pronounced it particularly rich 1n gold, silver and copper, the greatest draw- back being the tremendous stratum of granite, in many instances forty feet thick, interfering with the work of mining. Brazell had then a proposition before the Enghsh Government to send out a party of 1500 prospectors, covering an area of ten miles through British Columbia in anorthwesterly direction from Rossiand, the uifferent camps being in constant communication with the main office of engineers that would follow along in their trail. The cost of such an expedition was such that the English or Uanadian govern- ments wouid nave nothing to do with it, the hazard being one that the Home Sec- Totary couid not countenance, The proposition, however, has met with the approval of a syndicate of English capitalists who believe in its merits suf- ficiently to send forth 150 men from this City to work the English territory. These miners, at the head of whom is James Brazell, left on the overlana train last evening Yor Oregon. They are all men picked from the heads of aepart- ments in the mines of the Comstock where Brazell was superintendent of the Bullion and other mines in the daysof | the bonanza. 'L beiieve that the country about Kootenay,” said Brazell yesterday after- noon, ‘'is one ol the richest on the face of the globe. There is a great deal of terri- tory to cover and 1 think that with a suffi- cient number of men who know their bus- iness I can eventually locate the entrance to at least such another bonanza as we found twenty-five years ago in Nevada. 1 am starting with only 150 men. They will be divided into prospecting camps and cover the territory as speedily as pos- sible, 80 as to find a proper starting point. If I had 1500 men, as I first demanded, I could move along more speedily, but I am well satisfied with the number I have got. 1 feel assured in my own mind that before ninety days pass over I will have enough work ahead of me to bring up 1000 miners from ifornia,” The Universe >olidified Music.

Frank McCappin, Postmaster of San Francisco, who has been confined to his rooms for several weeks on account of sickness, submitted to a surgical operation vesterday. Dr. Julius Rosenstirn per- formed the operation. The doctor was asked concerning the prospects of the restoration of Mr. Me- Coppin’s health, and after consultation with those most interested in the Post- master’s recovery, said the patient was resting as easily as could be exnected after the operation that he had under- gone.

He was appointed Postmaster of San Francisco by President Cleveland and he haz yet one vear to serve before his term of four years expires.
