10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 19, 1897. T0LD THEIR TALE AND SAILED AWAY Peculiar Story of the Sail- ors of the John C. Potter, Say They Saw a Woman and Her Child Fall From Lom- bard Wharf, They Said Nothing the Police, | and Are Now Far Out 1 to Sea. | to The water front fairly teemed with ex- citement yesterday and last evening over the report that a woman and a child had fallen from Lombard-street wharf into the bay and their bodies had been carried out to sea by the ebbing tide. Yesterday afternoon four sailors from the ship Jobn C. Potter told the story of the drowning to an interested crowd of | listeners in Sambuck Brothers’ saloon, which is located near the wha The story was not at first credited by the list- eners, but later in the afternoon they altered their opinion of the sailors’ ver- acity when Chris Jacobson, watchman of | the schooner Abbey, testified that shortly after the hour the saiors claimed the tragedy occurred be saw a boat cruising around and under the wharf as though in search of & body. s The person in the boat, according to Jacobson, did not give up the search for over an hour, and then it was owing to the fact that he was tired out holding the boat against the surong tide, which was running like a millrace. Last evening the John C. Potter was towed out to sea by the tug Active, and is now well on her way to a foreign port, and in consequence the police will bave to await her return before they can hear the story from the lips of the men who claimed to haye witnessed the accident. One of the sailors from the thip bad nis elbow dislocated in a winch on the ves- sel’s trip out tothe heads and he was brought back by the tug and placed in the Ferry Receiving Hospital. He did not see the accident, he says, but heard the sailors talking about it during the day and evening prior to the ‘ship’s departure. The story of the tragedy as told by the sailors in the saloon i1s that of a mother who lost her life in a vain endeavor to save that of her child. Mother and child, according to the story, were walking along the wharf, when the laiter, a little 2irl of tender years, ran from her mother’s side and peered over the edge of the wharf. e became dizzy, reeled and was about to fall into the water when her mother noticed her danger and hurried toward her. She had jus: grasped ner child when she tripped and both plunged headlone into the bay. In an instant they disap- peared under the wharf and a moment later the waves closed over them and they were seen no more. A boatman put outl from the wharf, but his efforts to render them assistance or find their lifeless bodies were witbout'avail and be returned to his labors. O0URSING AT INGLESIDE. Fifteen Hundred Went Out to See the Sport Yesterday. The twenty-dog ke run-off yesterdav at the Ingleside coursing park attracted the enthusiasts to the number of some 1500. The feminine attendance was not quite up to the usual notch, no doubt ow- ing to the high wind and damp atmos- phere. However, the grand stand and he garden walks were well crowded with members of the fair sex and numberless children. The ground yesterday was dry and rather better for the hounds than the hares, hence the courses were short. As usual John Grace was judge and his son James slipper; slip steward, William Halpin; flag steward. J. Sheehan; neld stewards,J. Wren, T. McHugh and C. Gris- wold.

Such were the statements made in the meetings of the locel branches last evening, and of course the believers in this movement were greatly pleased with these accounts. Word has also been re- cently received from the East that progress | is being made on the same lines there, | Locally much importance is attached to | the big coal miners’ strike there, for ac- | cording to the arguments it comes as a re- sult of a mighty discontent with the exist- ing ord r of things, and wherever the | people are dissatisfied with their sur- | roundings they begin to think of how to make a correction. This socialists want. The socialists of this City believe that the movement here will soon begin to ta a rapid stride upward start. This belief is | based on the growing inquiry of large numbers who are becoming students of matters of poiitical economy and the in- | creased attendance at the meetings. At | the gathering of the American oranch in | Washington Hall last evening the attend- | ance was large. Miss Jane Roulston de- livered an interesting address on the life | of the late socialist leader, William Mor- | ris, Those who attended the meeting of the | Columbian branch in Pythian Castle were Lighly entertained by a paper read by H. J. Whittaker of Oaklana on *“Does Ex- | pansion 1n Industry Furnish Emplovment | to the Workers Displaced by Machinery ?” | He took the position that it does not and he attacked the conclusions of Carroll D. Wright and used the latier's statistics to prove the firmness of his position. On August 2 all of the socizlistic organi- zatons in the City will hold a big mass- meeting in Metropolitan Temple, at which important topics of the hour will be dis- cussed. The subject will be ‘‘Prosperity, and Wby 1t Has Not Arrived.” The big coal-miners’ strike in the East will receive | particular_attention. The speakers will be M. W. Wilkinson and P. Ross Martin. | On next Sunday evening E. Straun- | Hamilton of Oakland will deliver a lec- ture before tne Columbian branch ir Pythian Castle, on “The Survival of the Fittest.” R. T. McIvor, the well-known socialist lecturer, is seriousiy ill at his home in Berkeiey. ————— Knights of Honor Installation.

At a meeting of the Union Printers’ Mutual Aid Society yesterday the follow- ine offlicers were elecied : first vice-presid resident, J. Newlon; recording secretary, A. J. P.

Reports showed that the condition of the society is unusually prosperous. The ent, W — E, A. BOZIO, Who Lowered the 20-Mile Record Yesterday to 50:16. tition, tandem-paced, while Bozio’s ride | was paced against time. The trial yesterday was made over the l official course of the Associated Clubs | around the San Leandro triangle. From the start at Fitchburg and over the four | miles to San Leandro Bozio was paced by | Kroetz and Kingsley of the Olympic.Club. i | | They were ihere relieved by Theisen and Birdsall of the California Cycling Club, who carried him to the turn at Haywards, where he was picked up by Egan and Hamann of the Imperial Cveling Club. On this stretch Bozio’s rear tire exploded und he was forced to ride two miles in this disabled condition until he gotinto San Leandro again ana could change mounts. Ox the second round the crack Oivmpic trip et team—Loos, Cellier and Kragness —carried bim along for a time, being re- riais. The pace of the latter team was not fast enough and Bozio got away from them, ridine a mile unpaced until he came up to Kroetz aud Kingsley again, and they ana the triplet team carried | him to the finish, the total time being 50 | minutes 16 seconds. It was a splendid ride and Bozio thinks he could do still better with faster pacing and barring accidents. Kraft will now probebly go against this record in order to regain his lost honors. The record trial was timed by President wain of the Associated Clubs, C. 8. Myrick, captain Reliance Club Wheelmen, and Herman D. Hadenfeldt, captain Olympic Club Wheelmen, and is there- fore authentic. Over at San Rafael yesterday the road racers had a chance at short-distance rid- ing for some valuable prizes. At1l A. w. a nalf-mile handicap was run, the entries being so numerous as to require segrega- tion into several heats before the final. The final was won by E. C. Hamilton with 65 yards handicap; C. N. Boite, yards, second; H. A. Jones, 35 varas, third, ani George A. Wyman, who started from seratch, fourth. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a mile handicap was run and it proved very in- teresting. Preliminary heats and semi- finals had to berun first to decide who should ride in the final. W. J. Davidson and L. Sc mitt fell in the semi-finals, but were unhurt. These were the only acci- dents of the day. i The finish of the final was very exciting. One group of three—Thiel, Wyman and ¥rost—were on sucheven terms the judges bad difficulty in separating them, but finally placed them in that order. Directly behind them came Lefevre, Bolte and Jones, inches apart, and Lefevre was given fourth position. A large crowd of wheelmen went over from this City to attend these events, in- cluding many members of the San Fran- judges were Captain J. S. Lewis of the Road Club, L. Lederer, Frank Minor and J. J. Giusti. The committee of San Ra- fael wheeimen who conducted the events was composed of M. S. Hotchkiss, R. C. Kirk and T. J. Manning. The races were P. F.

Others, again, were sure it was a paim cat, and so the conten- staff came along, and with his practical eve on such matters saw at a glance that the new arrival was none other than a male kinkajou, a procyoniform quadruped animal It is about as large as a caf, with a long, tapering prehensile tail, short limbs, low ears, broad round head, slender body and It is of a pale vellow-brown color and arhoreal nocturnal | habits.

DFATH GAME [N THE WAVES Sad Result of a Sloop Cap- sizing off Fishermen's Wharf, Young Allen Attridge Drowned Before Assistance Could Be Given. A Molder Taken to the Branch Hos- pital Unconscious—A Motorman’s Strange Act. Tharough the capsizing of the sloop Com- fort a short distance off Fishermen’s wharf yesterday afternoon at about 3 o'clock, Allen Attridge, a young fellow employed by the Harbor Commissioners to drive one of the curts along the water front, found his death in the waters of the bay. Two others were picked up uncon- scious and taken to the branch Receiving | Hospital on East street, where they were ziven medical attention by Drs. Hill and Deas and brought round all right in a short time. The sloop started out at 10 A. . fora pleasure jaunt around the bay. Ic had | lately been bought by Attridge, and had ! a party of six on board. They were Martin Brady, a sailor; Frank Rich, a wireworker; Richard Gonzales, a peddler; “Brick’’ Ingelby. a janitor in the Chronicle building; a molder named Frank More, and young Attridge, who was only 23 years of age. The party was just return- ing from Hunters Point, and according to More all but himseif were more or less under the influence of liguor. As the boat neared Union-street wharf, More, who was sailing the iittle vessel, tried 'to tack and make the wharl, but! failed. He then tried 10 *‘jibe,” and the men all being to the leeward of the boat and the water being very rough, with a | stiff wind blowing, it capsized and all | were cast into the water. The boat sank | at once, leaving the men nothing to cling to. Attridge sank and his body has not yet been recovered. Brady was a good swimmer, as well as Rich, but could not do anything for the others on account of the danger of being dragged under. At this criucal period a fisherman who was coming in toward the wharf picked up two of the men, while the others were succored by a boat sent out by the fisher- | men on the wharf. More was unconscious when picked up. He ana Gonzaies were taken to the hospital in the van, some one | having notified the authorities there of the accident. Attridge’s father was notified of the casualty and at once ran to the hospital 10 learn if anything had Leen heard of h is son. When he heard nothing he was nearly prostrated at the bad news. The young man was unmarried and re- sided with his parents at 2005 Leaven- worth street. He has tour brotners and twe sisters. Of the brothers, Joun G. At- tridge is an officer on the local police force, and E. T. Aitridge is & machinist in the employ of Cahn, Nickelsburg & Co. Another brother, William J. Attridge, is an attorney-at-law, and returned yes- terday from Jackson, Amador County. He was riding home on a Union-street car when he heard the <ad news. i As the hospital van, with More lying in it unconscious, every minute being val- nabe if the man’s life were to be saved, was racing down East street car 1005 of the Mission-street line came round the curve into East street. The bell on the van was rung, but the motorman did not stop the car, and the horses were stopped only in time to avoid a collision. When the car was passing Dr. Hill expostulated with the motorman, and asserts that the only answer he received was a curse. THE BUTCHERS' PICNIOC.
