George E. Benr, a mining engineer of New York City, arrived at the Palace on Tuesday on his way to the Klondike. He is making the trip for a large Bast- ern syndicate that is desirous of obtaining reliable expert opinions on the future outlook on the tributaries to the Yukon and the possible location of the mother lode. He reports that great interest is |taken in the Klondike by the people in | the East. His purpose is to go to Juneau, and there leave his wife, who is now with him. From Juneau he will croes the Chilcoot Pass, and reach the Klondike overland this fall. He expects to come out next summer. THE CHECK WAS WORTHLESS. J. W. Wroth, Formerly of Los Angeles, Arrested for Petty Larceny. J. W. Wrath, formerly clerkin a lumber- vard in Los Angeles, was arrested yester- day morning by Detectives Gibson and Wren on board the steamer Umatilla as she was about to sail for British Columbia. He was taken to the City Prison and | booked on tie charge of petty larceny. o | crew had a very narrow escape while try- ing to catch a right whale. | were sent out.

Hansen’s boat reached the | whale first, but when the mammal felt the steel it lashed out in .its fury and its tail | smashed Hansen's boat. Randell came up in time and rescued the men. An- other boat came up shortly afterward and took on board all the men except Hansen and a sailor. Randell then gave chase to the whale and made fast. By the time they had made a killing it was dark and the bark was not in signt. As the hours went by they could not keep the whale up and it sank. Daylight next morning brought up u heavy fog, so there were still no signs of the Gayhead. They then made for the land, 100 miles away. On landing they otter-hunters, who did what they could | to assist them. Five days later the rev- | enue cutter Grant bove in sight and took | the men off, returning them to the Gay- | head the same day. All the men suffered from the hardship and second mate Han- sen and three of the men were laid up for | a month from the injuries they received. | Randell reporis that there were only a | | few sealers at Unalaska, none of which | bad made a big catch, the Halcyon being { | high hook with 300 skins. The report | | from the Japanese fleet showed that the | { catch ranged from 250 to 1200 skins. In his letter Randeil several times makes mention of the great kindness shown him- | selt and his shipwrecked companions by | Captain Munger of the Grant. The old steamer Eastern Oregon is to | end her days a coal hulk. Some months | azo she was scld at public auction. After looking her over the new owner deter- mined to take out her pair of engines, put them into two small schooners and turn the old steamer into a sailing vessel, After the engines were out he found it { would cost more to rebuild her than it would to build a new vessel. He there- | fore sold her to John Rosenfeld’s Sons, wiio turned her into a hulk, and she went into service to-day taking a load of coal from the bunkers to Oakland Creek. | Thestern-wheel <teamer Mount Eden, | while coming out of Mount Eden slough yesterday with 2800 sacks of salt aboard, broke her shaft. She drifted around for | a considerable length of time until the | captain was able to send a boat ashore and summon assistance. The tug Eliza- beth was sent after her and towed her to section 3 of the seawall, where she dis- | charged her cargo. Later she was taken to “‘Little Main-street wharf,”” where the | necessury repairs were mede. The British ship Toxteth has been char- tered to load wheat and went on the Mer- chants’ drydock to get ready yesterday. Two of the red siack’s tugs were at work on her, but the sirong ebb tide and the southerly wind carried the light ship from Harrison street away past the Camanche before they gained control of her. Once they got way on her, however, it did not take them long to get the unwieldy mass 10 its destination. The steamer Umatilla sailed for Paget Sound ports yesterday. Among her pas- sengers were forty gold-hunters, twenty- three of whom are prospectors from Los Angeles en route for Copper River. A short time before the departure of the steamer a fire was discovered among ihe bagzage on the dock. An investigation | showed that some corks in bottles of acia stowed in a valise owned by Max R. Hirschberg had come out and set the con- tents on fire, It was soon put out and the only loss was that sustained by the owner of the valise. About 9 o'clock, or just before sailing were lucky enough to fall in with sowme | | corresponding with cash a check on the Nationai Bank, Los Angeles, for $70. Shields wir=d to the bank and received a reply that Wroth had no account there and that the check was worthless. Shields yesterday morning swore out a warrant in | Judge Joachimsen’s court for Wroth's arrest. HE WAS A BORROWER, Miss M, B. French Gets Judg- ment From James Deasy. They Had '“Kept Company” and Somehow the Money Trans- actions Became Muddled. The troubles of a milliner and her erst- vhile “young man’ were aired in Justice Groezinger’s court yesteraay and caused no end of amusement to those who hap- pened to be present. M:ss M. B. French met James Deasy, a shoe salesman, in San Jose along in 1895 and a strong friendship sprang up between them. That a stronger feeling eventually deveioped is evident from the fact that a diary which Miss French kept speaks of buggy rides and dinners at cczy restau- rants at various dates between August 13 and November 1 of the same year. There were also money transactions which Miss French now describes as loans and Mr. Deasy says were nothing of the kind. At any rate, the friendship ceased, and Miss French began suit for $68, which she claimed was due her from Deasy. At the trial yesterday she s'ated that at various times when be wasolt of funds she bad let him have amounts aggregat- ing the sum sued for. In support of her testimony she pro- duced her account-book and related how whenever she gave Deasy money she entered it under the head of ‘‘cold water account.” The prudent lady had also kept adiary, in which she jotted down the dates on which her “‘company” had visited her in San Jose, the dates often the ‘‘cold water” dates in the account-took. Deasy explained thav he had often gone out with Mies French, and that she had generally paid the bills, which were usually for buggy rides or suppers. He had never borrowed any money from the 1ady, he said, but on one occasion she had given him $40 and asked hira to play the races. Judge Groezinger accepted Miss French’s story as being nearer the truth, and gave her judgment for the full amount asked with costs. ——————— SATURDAY, August 28, will be field day at Camp McDonald at Ukiah, where the First Regiment is in camp.

The police are still hard at work on the Irmgard mystery. Detective Eilis and Officer McGlynn were scouring the water tront yesterday for ferther evidence. One thing they were anxious to learn was as to whether Mate Gus Johnson was able to swim or not. This will be an important piece of evidence, as Coxswain Lund of the monitor Camanche heard some one cry on that eventful Sunday night, “For God’s sake, Johnson, where are you?”’ The police reason that if Johnson was a good swimmer and had fallen overboard he could easily have returned to the boat, or even could have got to the Camanche had he not been stunned beforehand. Charles Newman, second mate of the brig Lurline, knew Johnson well, and fre- quently met bim in Honolulu, On these occasions they always went swimming, and Newman says that Johnson was the most expert swimmer and diver of them all. Anotber sailor, whose name the po- lica have, also knew Johnson, and says that he was almost as good a swimmer as a Kanaka. Henry Peterson, who was talking with Johnson, says that he was not drunk, as he has been made out to be. He had been drinking, but talked coherently, and was perfectly able to 1ake care of him-elf. The last remark he made to Peterson was, “I wish to —— that those men would come down.” In explanation of the re- mark he said that some of the crew were uptown having a good time, and he was anxious for them to come back, because he wanted to get out to the barkentine. Johnson then went back to the saloon, on the other side of East street, and there had tbe row with the watchman. John Stange, who saw the two men leave in the boat, asseris that both the men were able to walk a string; that they went down the steps to the float without faltering and got into the boat without any trouble. As they started to pull away he shook bands with Johnson and bade him good-nignt. His opinion of the matter is tbat the two men quarreled when Johnson cursed Benjamin (Three- Fingered Jack) for *‘catching a crab,” and ordered him to leave the oars and that he would palil. “Johnson was 4 very quarrelsome man when the liquor was in him,” said Stange, “and he may have gone further than cursing when Benjamin ‘caught a crab.’ Of course that is oniy guesswork on my part, but if Johnson bhad taken my advice and stayed upstairs in my room all night he would now be alive to teil his own story.”’ Detective T. Eilis and Captain Dunlevy made another visit to the Irmgard yester- day morning. Later in the day Detective Ellis paid a v sit to Berkeley, while Officer McGlynn confined his researches to Long Wharf and its environments. Both the officers made reports to Captain Dun- levy, but he refused to divulge their con- tents until they had been submitted to the Chief ot Police. NOTES Or THE THEATERS.

News From Washington and Judge de Haven at the Same Time, The Collector Complimented for Hig Action in the Quaran=~ tine Matter, A Libel Suit for the Doctor's Al- leged Services to a Ship Dismissed. Yesterday was a bad day for State Qaarantine Officer Chalmers. He was defeated on two counts. The first was a letter sent to Collector Jackson from the Secretary of the Treasury commending that official’s action in the controversy between the State and Federal quarantine officials, and the second wasa clean knock- out in the United States court of Dr. Chalmers’ libel against the ship Drum- lanrig for compensation for medical ser- vices. Collector Jackson was very much pleased when he received the fTetter from ‘Washington, but he would not taik on the merits of the controversy. The letter was as follows: WASHINGTON, D. C., August 25, 1897. Collector of Customus, San Francisco: Your order requirtng boch copies of tue bill of health of vessels from forelgn ports, together with the National Quarantine Officer’s certifi- cate of pratique to ve delivered in a sealed | envelope addressed to yourself is approved. . L. SPAULDING, Assistant Secretary of the I reasury. In delivering his opinion Judge de Haven said: 1am notsatisfied from the evidence in the case that the minds of the libelant and mes- ter of the ship Drumlanrig ever met in agree- ment upon the terms of tne contract in the ibel. ‘Ihe libelant aid not in fact render any ser- vices whatever under such contract, and was not called upon to do so, and the evidence shows that the seryices of another physician had been engaged for the ship before her ar- rival here. Iu relation to his alleged contract, the libel- Ant testifies that when he solicited the em- ployment he asked the master whether the ship had already contracted for the services of & physician or was to accept his services, and 10 which the master replied that he had not known whether a physician had been engaged for the ship or not. The testimony of the mas- ter is to the same effect, but as to the subse- quent conyersation there is a material conflict betwcen the libelant and the master, the former insisting that he and the master en- tired mto an absolute contract by which the libelant was to render his pro- fessionat services as physician snd sur- geon to the crew of tue ship dur- ing her stay in port. while the testimony of the master is in substance that he told libel- ant that he might aitend the ship, provide: the ship had not already been “coitracted”; that is, as 1 understand, provided no other hysician had been employed for that purpose. | n view of the admiited fact that the master informed the libelant that he did not know whether any physician had been employed for the ship or noithe statement of the master that he agreed toaccepl the services of the libelant only on condition thatanother phy- sician had not been enguged is quite asreas- onable as the opposing statement of the libel- ant.y 1 have no reason to believe the testimony of either of those Wwitnesses was willfully faise. On the contrary, I am disposed to think that the difference in their testimony grows out of the fact thatthere was a mutual misunder- s.anding of the purport of the conversation between them, and itisa meatler of common experience that such misunderstandings are frequent incidents of ora!communication be- tween equally honest and int:lligent persons. Viewing in this light the contract alleged the libel has not been proved. Let a aecree be en- | tered dismissing the lib:l, toe claimants to re- cover ¢osls. A FORGERY TECHNICALITY New Trisl Granted to John Lundin by the Supreme Court. John Lundin, alias Thompson, hasbeen granted a new trial by the Supreme Court on the same technicality that availed in the case of Whiteman, who was convicted of forgery but finally escaped punishment because the attorney for the prosecution did not prove that the name signed to the check was the name of a real person. In the Lundin case this view of the law is further emphasized, and it may be recognized as the settled doctrine of the law of this State that it is not forgery for an individual to sign the name of a fic- titious person to a check and to get money on the paper thus produced. The words of the Supreme Court in granting a now trial to Lundin are as follows: No question was asked and no testimony in- troduced tending to show whether or not de- tendant was authorized to sign the name of Johu F. Johnson to the check. Under the previous ruling of this court we are compelled 10 say that the evidence was insufficient to warrant a conviction. In People vs. White- man, reported in 114 Cal., page 338, a case involving a like question, the court, speaking through Temple, J., said: “There was no evi- dence that the persons by whom the checks were purported to be drawn were real persons, and none that, if they were real persons, de- fandant was not authorized to use their names.” The case for retrial has been assigned to Judge Dunne’s department of the Supe- Eior Court, and a jury for the trial has een impaneled. —————— Hart’s Interest Attached. The interest of W. H. H. Hart in the Blythe estate was attached yesterday on & claim of $1000. Hart gave Judah Boes a note for that amount some time ago, and the note hayin come to maturity without having beer. p.|§ Boas assigned it to M. L. Davis and suit was begun against Hart and the indorsers of the note. D0GS HAVING “THEIR DAY They Increase and Howl and No Poundmaster Interferes. Eighteen Hundred More Canine Vagrants Than There Really Ought to Be, All Because the Pound Is No Longer Receiving Guests and the Dog- Catcher Rests, The dog and the owner of the dog are now enjoying a brief season of howling triumph. There is no pound to take the former to, and in the absence of a pound the latter retains the $2 he otherwise would pay for a l.c:nse, and as he passes the office of the License Collector his mien is haughty. When the pound was in operation there were taken to iteach day an average of twenty canines, taken there, it must be admitted, amid the execrations of the juvenile populace, for the impossibility of loving a dog-catcher has long been a rec- ognized fact. The pound has been closed 50 long that it is estimated 1800 dogs are running the streets of San Francisco un- tagged. But tor a quarrel between the Society for the Preveution of Crueity and the Supervisors this would not haye hap- pened. The pound latchstring would have been hospitably hanging out, and these hundreds of acgs would have been changed ere this to soap and leather and fertilizer—to something at least that does not bark and bite.. The guarrel, as is generally known, resulted from the society getting tired of F. A. Osborn as pound- keeper and demanding his removal. The Supervisors resolved themselves into a society for prevention of cruelty to pound- keepers, and declared that Osborn should stay. Then the first society closed the vourd, and the vacation of the dogs began. One result has been that anplications for dog licenses this year are 30 per cent | below those of last year. The money re- ceived, however, has been almost as muzh as heretofore. Formerly there was a “‘duplicate” system, whereby a man with a ‘pull’—as influence is sometimes termed—could, on the simple statement that his pet dog had lost its tag, get an- other for 50 cents. Oftentimes the dog still carried the original tag, and_the new one was given to some friend. Under the present regime these simple statements don’t go, but have to be sworn to. To lie is one thing, but to make oath to the truth of the lie so altogether another that the *‘duplicate’” arrangement is rap- idly being eliminated. The Pound will be open at no distant day, and the har- vesting of low-born curs fill the atmos- phere with fearsome yelping. In some mysterious way the dogs have learned that they are temporarily im- mune, and as they do not worry aboutthe future they have seemed to gain greatly in spirit, whilein manners their deteriora- tion ha$ been marked. They bask in every sunny spot, hold sessions in each open court and molest the passer-by. Some of them are cross and inclined to sample the fleeting human leg. Otners are content merely with foraging on the enemy, mankind being so regarded, and encouraging the culture and dissemina- tion of fleas, a mission clearly superfluous. Alcibiades was once the proud possessor of a dog that cost him 7000 drachmas, a sum which anybody who desires can re- duce to modern terms, thereby finding what the purp was worth in good Ameri- can money. If Alcibiades were here now he could have tae pick among 1800 and never pay a c:nt. History relates that he cut the tail off his dog, but if he got the best one of the 1800 he would be apt to cut its nead off instead, giving history some- thing more tragic to record. There is a growing local sentiment that s0o many dogs are unnecessary. They have nothing to do but bay the moon, and a less imposing army could do entire justice to a moon that is usually hidden by fog anyhow: And in that town a dog was found As many dogs thers be— Both mougrel, puppy whelp and houird And curs of 1ow degree. It is hard to realize that Goldsmith wrote this without ever baving visited San Francisco. Shakespeare makes King Lear complain that dogs bark at him. He classifies them thus: Mastiff, greyhound, mongrel grim, Hound or spa. iel, brach or lym, Or bobtall tyxe, or brindle tail. Yet careful scrutiny of back-number hotel registers shows that Lear was never here either. In Lear’s list are some un- familiar types, and yet inspection of the 1800 would be certain to disclose every one of them. This is why people are hoping that the Pound will soon add its clamor to the general hum of industry, POLICY-HOLDERS SURPRISED, The Failure of the M sociation Was Unplea The failure of the Massachusetts Benefit Life Association, which was noticed in yesterday’s CALy, was anything but wel- come news to 1500 California policy-hold- ers. The collapse of the assessment asso- ciation was the theme of general discus- sion among insurance agents and others in the downtown business jortion of the City yesterday. Several theories were advanced as to the cause, but the general opinion among those conversant with the management of insurance companies was that the assess- ment poiiey was about played out, so to speak, in his country, and that the more legitimate way of conducting this line of insurance is on the natural paid-up prin- ciple.
