Oon arriving at the ‘ranklin-street landing they disembarked | and were at once lost in the crowd. Later [ they returned to San Francisco and sep- arated. It wasabout 6 A. M. yesteriay when the captain of the Amy was aroused from his slumbers by a vigorous knocking on the door of Peterson’s boathouse. It was the young couple accompanied by a grooms- man in the person of a Dr. Seldridee (that is the nearest the officers of the Amy can come to the name) and a voung lady friend of the bride. As soon as all was in readiness the lines were cast off and the launch proceeded to sea. Dr. Seldridge | was particularly anxious t at the turee- | mile limit should wve reached before the | ceremony should take plece. | " His wish was gratifi:d. The launch was beaded for the bar, but when that was reached it was found that there was a very heavy swell formed. After viewing the scene Captain Wilson decided to go | out through the north channel. When the first buoy was reached the bride and | groom and the bridesmaid were deathly | sick. Dr. Seldridge held out, however, but ¢ anxious to know when the three marine leagues wouid haye been covered.

There werechampagne, ices, all | kinds of cold meats and sandwicies in | { abundance, and the health of the bride | was drunk in and again. When off | Alcatraz Mr. Cneigren suddenly remem- | bered that it was particularly desirable that the wedding shouid not appear in | the papers. He accordinzly had an inter- | view with Captain Wilson and as a result [ the Amy was heaaed up Oakland Creex and landed the wedding party at Frank- lin-street wharf.

THEY ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, “Brick” Murphy Jumped From Folsom-Street Wharf, and C. | Emerson Took Polson. T here were two more attempts at sui- | cide on tbe water front yesterday. Peter i (**Brick’”) Murphy, who was so well| known as one of Buckley’s lambs, made | anotber attempt on bis life yesterday. | | Ever since Boss Buckley went out of | power Murphy has been gradually going | down the hill. About two years ago he | shot hirnself at his home on Filbertstreet, but his friends denied that it was an at- | tempt at suicide, ciaiming that the gun went off accidentally while he was c ean- ing it. Later he tried to kill nimselt with | morpbine, and that experience gave him such a liking for the drug that Dr. Hill of the branch Receiving Hospital on the water front says that he 1s now a con- firmed fiend. Yesterday Murphy wan- | dered along East street, and by some means goton top of the KFolsom-street whari. Ever since the fire tie w harf hax been closed, but nevertheless *‘Brick’” managed (0 make an entry. He was noticed standing on one of the stringers by Henry P terson, and when | bo made the jump into the bay two of the | iatter's boatmen made for him. “Brick” | was going down for the last time when Harry Johnson jumped in and held him up until the bost came alongside and hauled them both aboard. The ambu- | lance was sent for and he was taken to | the hospital, where Dr. Hill pumped him | out and put him to bed. Late in the aft- emoon he was doing well, but assorted that as all his friends had zone back on { “lmn}xe would make another attempt at | suicide as <oon as he got out. Charles Emerson, who took vermin poi- | son, will not come off so well as Murphy, as Dr. Hilt says he will sureiy die. Emer- |sou is a laborer who lives at the Plaza | House, 629 Clav street. His case is a ve- | culiar one, as Dr. Hill says that it is the first instance ot sabadilla poisoning that has ever occurred in San Francisco.

The work of improving the Richmond District goes on continuously. This prog- ress can be attributed to the persistent work of the Point Lobos Improvement Club, which organization has done so much for that section of the City. The | persistent zgita ing of the club in and out of season has finally succeeded in getting First avenue put in condition. The work on this thoroughfare has at last advanced so far as to give the avenue a boulevard app-arance. T'nat portion from Wasuington street to the military 1eservation has been paved with basalt blocks, winle the other section, from Washington to Point Lobos avenue, is being bituminized. From the latter place 1o Fulton street is beine macadam- ized. The whole, when complete, will make an excellent driveway, and will open up anew avenue from the Golden Gate Park to the Presidio. In additlon to this other streets are not | being negiected. Among these are: Sac- ramento street, from First avenue to Cherry street; also on the same sireet, from Spruce to Cherry. Caliiornia street is also undergoing repairs, from Cherry street to Luenst. This, with the putting in of sidewalks on varicus streets, gives the Richmond district an appearance of go-aneadness on the improvement prin- ciple. | Gaines and what 11 - B a— Property of the Woodward Estate.

Supervisor Clinton insisted upon the necessity of members of the board attend- ing the session called for next Saturday under the resolution in order that a quo- rum be present and the business of the session carried through. He said this was the most imporiant work of the board, and that if the suggestions made by him be carried out the total valuation may be brought up to that ot last year—there wus no other equitable way of doingit. He said that the tranchises of corporations should be assessed in accordance with a fair valuation of the stock of the compa- nies after deducting the valuation of the plants. He referred to the report of the expert, Gildea, showing that the real estate as- sessments were hizh enough, and de- clared that if the total valuation wasto be raised it must be through the means of franchises and tbe personal property assessments, ‘The board took action in the following cases yesterday. Applications from the foilowing for reductions in assessments were denied : Daniel Roy, Brannan, near Third; Sarah G.

LAST FALL OF AN EXPASTOR “Rev.” Kenneth Duncan Is Now a Fugitive From Justice, After Securing a Needed Posi- tion, He Steals From His Employer. He Then Disappeared and Deteotives Have Been Unabls to Find Him. Kenneth Duncan, four years ago an bonored minis‘er who preached the go:- pel from the pulpit of Howard Presbyte- rian Church, Mission street near Third, is now a fugitive from justice. Yes:terday afternoon he wandered miserable and penniless into John Axtell’s restaurant, 354 Sixth street, and asked for employ- ment. It was given him, and a few hours later he stole $80 from the man who had beiriendad him, left the restaurant and went into hiding. The theft was rerorted to the police, and detectives were detailed on the case, | but though they searched many hours for the ex-prezcher they could not find him. Now that he has money, a large amount for him, he will probably attempt to leave this part of the country. The history of Duncan’s downfall is an interesting one. He came to this City many years ago, & minister with many friends and a reputation for sincerity ana eloquence that few enjoyed. Wine and a woman, however, paved his undoing, and it was but a step for him to leave the church ani join the great majority of sinners. On his arrival here he went to preach in the Howara Church, but it was finally detected that he was indulging in arious escapades with a woman who was certainly not one of his Christian congregation. He was lnvesti gated by the churchmen and the result was that he was dismissed from his posi- tion as their pastor. Undaunted he cast aside the mask of hypocrisy he had been wearing for so long and went out into the world in search of employment. He bad ill luck, however, and coucludel to again don the mask he had cast aside and, as- suming a penitent iook, endeavor to re enfer the church. He went to Honolulu for that purpose. but the Presbyterian congregations of that island city demanded that he pre- sent credentials from people of this City. Ramors of his escapades had reached Honolulu, and the people there wanted .0 be certain that he was worthy of the pul- pit before they would place him tnere. Duncan was cnable to furnish the cre- dentials and leit the islands and returned to this City. He drifted awhile and tinally joined the Josephine Mission, on Taylor sireet. In a short time the mem- bers of the mission discovered that he was not to be trusied and he was sent away. He moved about from place to place, variously employed, when he joined tbe Volunteers of America. In thatorganiza- tion his eloquence found a place, and hLe was soon promoted from the ranks to the position of a brevet officer. One day, however, according to Lieutenant-Colone! Gardner of the organizition, he sppeared at one of the meetings 1n an intoxicated condition. He was not dismissed for his action at that time, bat directly after that, as he seemed to uo longer take an interest in the organization and was drinking heav:ly, the Volunteers told him that he must leave or reform. He chose the former course and went to Sacramento, where he frequent!y visited the beadquarters of the volunteers in that city. He kept on drinking, and finally in fear that his presenc» would injure the standing of the volunteers Duncan was pu: aboard a steamer and sent back to this City. Here he searched for employ- mert and found it in Axtell’s restavrant, Shortly after securing his position he ob- served his employer place a sack contain- ing $80 in gold and silver under a pillow on a bed in a smali room in the rea: of the restaurant. He watched his chance and when bis employer was occupied with his customers tiptoed into the room, stole the money and disanpeared. ON FIRE AGAIN. Yates & Co.’s Basement Was Pumped Clear of Water Too Soon. Shortly after noon yesteraay fire broke out afresh in the ruins of the Yates & Co. oil fire on Front street, Letween Broadway and Pacific, and kept eight engines busy for several hours.

Some of this debrs, left bigh and dry by reason of the pumpine, was smoldering at the core, and unex- pectediy the entire basement was a mass of burning oil.
