He | signed the nam-s of many other persons on different occasions, but they were so numerous that he could not remember them.

She had a rough time of it crossini the Columbia River bar, and passing the lightship took many a breaker aboard.

Strange Reticence of the Family on the Subject of the Young Man's Disappearance. Monroe Mordecai, & young man well known for many years as a carrier for the Daily Report, was drowned in the bay | Sunday afierncon, while out yachting with bis two sisters.

Harbor Commissjoner Ckadbourne and the contraciors for the new ferry had a merry time of it yesterday. Assoon as they saw tha irate State official coming the contractors began to hide behind posts and pillars and then tried to sneak away when ke colonel’s back was turned. Their maneuvers failed, however, and after half an hour of hide and seek the Commissioner brought them to bay, trouble was over the slow progress being made on the new depot. Chadbourne asserted that not haif the men necessary were employed and said that the contraci- ors ought to be ashamed of themselves for the way they were dilly-dallying with the wor Then excuses were the order of the day. Each contractor tried to put the blame on the other’s shoulder, but Chad- bourne cut them all short by saying: *It just amounts to this. Before you can get your progress warrants all three Commissioners must sign them. Now I will not sign another warrant until I see you are making a decent showing. Fur- thermore, if you don’t do any better than. you are doing now, 1 will insist that the contracts be taken away from you and given to the uext lowest pidder, and your vondsmen will have to pay the difference. Now you know just where you stand. If you don’t get a move on, you'll get no more money as long as I am on the board.” The contractors walked away crestfallen, but strange to say, although 1t was 3P. M., half 4 dozen extra men were 2t work on tne building before 5 P. M.

The Ratndown will take wheat to South America, and another vessel is,joad- ing for Calcutta. The demand for Cali- fornia wheat is now booming, and the clances are that the 170,000 tons ot disen- gaged shipping now in port will be ma- terially reduced before the month is out.

There the yonng1 man climbed into the skiff of the Juanita | for some reason, leaving his sisters in the | sloop. Scon the wind blew so violently | as to break the sloop from her moorings and blow the skiff far into the bay. The women became hysterical and screamed 80 that a rescuing party found them aud brought them ashore. They faiuted many times before they landed safely ashore, and declared they would never go boating | egain. | As :0on s8s the sisters recovered from their iright sufficiently to answer the questions put to them concerning their viother a rescuing party sta ted in_par- suit, hunting diligently until dusk. They found no sign of the young man or the boat. RBearcuing parties patrolled the bay yesterday without tidings, and the family | was beside iiself with grief last nignt. T: e sisters who were with the young man who disappeared refused to make any statement when seen by a reporter. “You must excuse us,” said the elder, | “for we care to say nothing until we are sure he is Jost.”” Definite news of young Mordecai’s loss was reported on the water frout yester- day. It was learned that the young man | | went down at Red Kock about 4 P M Sundsy. According to the story on gthe | water iront the young man was last “een | by the crew of the yacht Vixen, at which time he was trying to secure the floating | skiff of the Juanita. A sudden squall | came down, caps.zed the boat and it went to the bottom, taking the owner with it. | When the Vixen got up there was no sign | of either yacht Petrel or the owner. The skiff was all that was left to show that there had been a tragedy. Mordecai owned a route on the Report and also one on the Examiner. For years he had not had a boliday, and nad made | all his arrangements to make a round trip | to Alaska. He had boaght his ticket and | had it in his pocket when tha Petrel went down. He was a member of the Corinthian Yacht Ciub for over three years. Com- modore Young sent out the launch Nor- wood and anotker boat last Sunday night, but no trace of thé missing man or the vacht could be found. Frank Mordeca: and his sister went over on the 11 A. w. boat to Tiburon yesterday intending to make a search the Ives, but at 5 P. M. had not been heard irom. DAN T, COLE HOME AGAIN, | Was a Delegate to the Trans-Mississippl Congress, but Left in Disgust. Ex-Harbor Commissioner Dan T. Cole | arrived from the East yesterday. Daring | his month’s vacation he visited New York, Boston, Chicago and Minneapolis, and says that in all of these cities business is reviving, and that everywhere the pros- pects for better times are good. Mr. Cole was a delegate to the Trans- Mississippi Congress and stopped off at Salt Lake to attena it. “When they introduced politics 1 thought it was time to leave,” said he, yesterday. *“‘When it was decided to hear a speech from Bryan on free silver I sim- ply told the convention it could have all the politics it wanted, but that I was go- ing home. My trunk was soon packed, I caught the next train and here 1 am. ““The circular sent out by the chairman of the convention has the following under a big heading: SUBJECTS FOR DISCUSSION—1t is the desire of the commitiwee to contine discussion to those subjects whicn are of common interest to the section of country represented, and to exclude all subjects which are loeal or political. “Well, I went there to do something for the common interest of the section of the country I represented and when they rang in a stump speech on free silver 1 thought it was time to quit, One of the gola men from Oregon introduced a reso- tion asking for a speech on the gold side of the case, but tue gold men voted it down.” Mr. Cole is looking hale and hearty and says he is feeling varticularly well after his holiday. Jumped Her Bonds. Lilly Evans, alias Baldwin, was brought from Portland yesterday morning by Detective ‘Wren. She was arrested here April2 for grand larceny in stealing $80 from Peter Freitas, a visitor to the City. She was released on $1 bonds pending her examination, and disap- peared. She fled to Porfiand, where she com- miited another robbery, and the police here ‘were notified. Previous to the inauguration of the wa the first-class rates by rail were as high as $15 per ton and by steamer $12 per ton. As the result of the two years’ warfare rates were cut down to $2 perton by rail and $1 by water. Wiihin the past two weeks negotiations have been in progress looking to the res- toration of rates to a paying basis. An agreement has now been reacned and the new advanced rates will go into effect on the 1st. The revised tariff of the Oregon Rail- road and Navigation Company has already been printed. 1t gives the rates in cents per 100 pounds, 5 cents per 100 pounds be- ing equivalent to $i per ton. The class rates range from $3 to $9 per ton, and tae commodity rates irom $1 to $3. Under the new schedule 2li freight by water will go by weight, and it is claimed that in many cases there will be no actunal ad- vance in the rate, as the $1 50 rate by weight is really no more than the $1 rate by measurement. This will be the case with cann«d goods, beans, cereals, salsoda | and suiphur, In carload Iots the rates of the Oregon Railroad aid Navization Company wili be as foilows: Iir t class, 45 cents per hun- dred pounds; second class, 35 cents; third class, 25 cents; fourth class, 20 cents. In less than carload lots the rates will be: pounds; class A, 20 cents; class B, cents; classes C, D, K, 15 cents. These are the rates tor commodities in carload lots, minimum weight 24,000 pounds, in cents per hundred pounds, except as otherwise stated. Ax egr ase, Fluestone Beaos and bales or bundes.

Considerable interest is being taken in the estate of the late Dr, James Williams, who died in this City several months ago leaving an estate of §31,000 and inde- finite information touching his heirs. The matter came up in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday on the presentation of Dr. Mark H. Woolsey's biil for $7000, which he had charged for medical at- tendance, the sarvices extending over a period something less than a year. Attorney Boyer, representing Dr. Wool- sey, thought the claim very moderate, and Dr. W. R. Cluness. formerly, of Sacramento, coincided. Dr. Clune in- cidentally remarked that he bad a little bill for $510 for comsultation with Dr. Woolsey in the same casz. Attorney Evans thougut the bills were toc large, and agreed with Attorney Jefferson in the sugeestion that the proper course for Dr. Woolsey to pursue is to bring suit against the estate, and have the matter passed on by a jury. Dr. Woolsey is the executor of the will of the decedent, and it was pointed out that he naturally did nov wish to pass on the justness of his own claim. Mr. Evanssaid herepre. ed the widow of Dr. Williams’ brother; that she and her two sons are the only surviving heirs. It was in their bebali that he opposed the payment of the biz claims presented by the attending physicians. Further hearing of the case will be had next week.

W, Kracht and Mrs. Minnie Rohlman Lo- cated Here. For Nearly Two Years They Have Been Living as Man and Wife, Mrs. Kracht, the Deserted Wife, Swears Out Warrants for Their Arrest. Mrs. Minnie Rohlman was arrested yes- terday aiternoon on a charge of adultery- #nd a warrant is out for the arrest of F. W. Kracht, alias Kraft, on a similar charge. The couple eloped from St. Clements, Mich., in October, 1895, and came to this City. The woman’s husband is employed in a furniture factory there and Kracht kept a grocery. Kracht had a wife and two children and Mrs. Rohlman had a little girl, now seven years of age. The families were on intimate terms of friend, ship for years, and the cowumunity was shocked when Kracht and Mrs. Rohlman disappeared, taking her little girl with them. Before leaving Kracht quietly sold out all his property and took the proceedsand $3000 belonging to his wife with him. Mrs. Kracht was left destitute with ber two boys, now respectively 14 and 12 years of age. The eloping couple came to this Cily, where they have since been living as man and wife. Soon aiter arriving here Kracht changed his name to F. W. Kraft, and purchased a grocery business on the cor- ner of California and Larkin streets. They lived at 418 Sutter street. Several months ago Kracht sold out Lis grocery business and purchased tie Pier taloon, 12 Mission street. Since then they have been living at 518 Howard sireet. The deserted wite did not get any trace of her husband ull a few months ago, when she learned indirectly that he was supposed to be in this City. She wrole Chier Lees, and asked him to help her in finding him. The Chief replied that & man answering the description of her hus- band, who was known as I. W. Kraft, was at the Pier saloon, 12 Mission street. Mrs. Kracht had saved a little money, and taking advaniage oi the Cbristian Endeavor rates she came to this City on July 5 and tuok up her residence at Ninth and Brannan streets. She consulted Sec- retary Kane of the Pacific Coast Society for the Suppression of Vice and he ad- vised her to call at the Pier saloon. She did so the following day, and when Kracht saw her he nearly collapsed. Kracht meekly bore his wife's re- proaches and promised (o call next morn- ing upon her and settle all difference: She reported the resuit of her intervie who expressed his Kracht failed to keep his promised ap- pointment, and the following morning Kane went to the saloon and told the I}nr» Tue barkeeper said he was out and would not return for some time. Accompanied by Mrs. Kracht Kane went to the saloon the following morning and they found it closed. They ascertained that the couple were living at 518 Howard street. A visit was made to the house and Mrs. Rohlman (or, as she was known there, Mrs. Kraft) was seen. She was defiant and claimed that si.e and Kracht had contracted be- tween themselves to be husoand and wile, and she wonld not give bim up. Kracht could not be seen and Kane took Mrs. Rohlman’s 1i girl and put herin Mount St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum. Kracht kept out of ive way, and it is 1specte | that he hes fled from the City. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Kracht swore to a complaint before Justice of the Peace Groezinger, who is aciing for Judge Low, charging Mrs. Rohlman with adultery, and Secretary Kane swore to a similar complaint against Kracht. Detective Dillon arrested Mrs. Rohl- man at 518 Howard street, and lodged ber in the City Prison. Every effort will be made to fini Kracht. Mrs. Rohlman, who is rather prepossessing in appear- ance, gave her age as 21, but she .ooks older. It was found that Kracht and Mrs. Roklman had purchased three [ots in the Potrero, but had soid out a few days ago a J. B. McMurray. Kracht signed his name as *'F. H. Kraft” to the deeds, and Mrs. Rohlman as his wife, ‘Minnie Kraft.” Mrs. Kracht has employed Attorneys Wiison, Terry and Ferral to enter suit in the civil courts to obtain her share of the property, personal and real,as she claims that Kraclit used the community property and her own money in his various busi- ness ventures here JUMPED OFF MUSSEL ROCK. Peculiar Freak of Fred Gibson, a Fif- teen-Year-Old Boy. Fred Gibson, a boy 15 years of age, who has been an inmate of the Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society for the past eight months, went out to the ocean beach on Sunday. He wandered around all afternoon, and at night made his bed on the sands. Yes- terday afternoon he walked as far as Mussel Rock and climbed to the top. He either fell orleaped into the sea, but was fortunately observed by a member of tne life-saving crew, who rescued him and took him to the life-sav.ng station, where he was properly cared for till bis clothes were dry. As there were three slight wounds on his left leg, caused by striking against the rocks in his fall, he was sent. to the Re- ceiving Hospital, where they were dresse He will be returned 1o the sociaty’s care. The boy said he stood on the edge of the rock, and, as he feit he must iump into the sea, he kneeled down and offered up a prayer. Then he flung himself off the rock. It is thougnt that he is romancing, and that he missed his footing. NEW One Yellow Ticket in every package of Schzl- ling’s Best tea—no matter how small. Get as'many as you can, and find the word.
