s THE SAN FRANCISCO CALTL, THU DAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1897 REVOLTIN THE RANKS OF BALL MEN They Threaten to Desert the Yellow Journal's Tournament. FOR THEIR ACTION REASOXS GIVEN Instances Where Players Ap- pearing on the Diamond Were Hungry, DIFFERENCE IN A LIVE AND DEAD BALL National League Players Will Arrive n November to Play Here. At the meeting held Tuesday evening to organize the California Baseball League it was the universal expression of the managers present that the players should be handsomely remunerated for their services on the diamond. It wasde- cided that in the zames to be played this seasou the players should receive 60 per cent of the gross r pts in each contest. The result of this liberal concession on the part of the management of the new leagiie hasintensified the great dissatis- faclion existing among the clubs consti- tuting the yellow journal’s tournament, and i several them do no: join the league in a body they will be seriously cripplea by the desertion of a number of their best pluyers. The management ol the Reliance Club hasreceived application from four of the cleverest men in the ament to be enrolled on the list of Two similar applica- ns have been re: ptain. The Baltimores and the All Americans will not arrive here as soon as expected, J. Frank Eline, one of the managers of Baltimore, inaletter to D. W. Long, states that many places en route want the nines. They open their Western tour on October 10 at Weehawken, N.J., and wili arrive in this city in_time to play on Sunday November 7. William Barney, present manager of Brookiyn, will be associated with Eline. Frank G. Selee of Baltimore and Pat Tabeau will manage the All Americans. The Brooklyn team will comprise the same players as now. The players in the All Americans will be: Tabeau, Powell and Burkett of Cleve- land; Donahue, Dahlen, Lang and Calli- han of Chicago, Stahi and Collins of Bos- ton and Anderson of Brooklyn.

Eighty-Five Suits That Eecall the Ope- rations of the Mc- Donalds. Stockholders of the defunct People’s Home Savings Bank bave been called on to settle for their liability on acconnt of the unpaid balance due on stock ior which tbey bad subscribed. There were a great many citizens who believed the People’s Home Savings Bank stock to be a good investmentand some of them were coufirmed in thisopinion when v received dividends on stock for which they had paid only 334 cents on the dol- lar. They are now asked to pay the re- maining 6634 for each share held by them, When the bank went down there was a general scramble to get out of the way, and not a few of those who neld the stock assigned their interesis to others who never expected to be shareholders in a bank, even though it were a bankrupt con- cern. It was of course recognized that no consideration passed in the transfer thus aitempted, and so the assignors are sued directly in all such cases, no recovery irom the assignees being attempted. In oue case a noted financier assigned his stock to his elevator-boy, but this did not avail him so far as tne suit is con- cerned, for his name figures prominently in the list of defenaants. Forty-five suits for percentages due on stock were yesterday filed in the Superior Court and forty actions for smaller amounts were begun 1n the Justices’ Court, F.S. Straiton acting as_ attorney for the plaintiff in all the litigation. Heretofore forty similar suits were filed in the Superior Court and several of them are now on the calendarin JTudge Bahrs’ court, where they will svon be called for trial. It is understood thai the defendants will pool their issues and fight the matter to the court of lust resort. The defense will be that the stockbolders were not lia- ble for the balance due, because no call was made for the balance during the time the bank was doing busines —_——— OAK-STREET RESIDENTS, They Favor the Abandonment of the Franchise on That Thoroughfare. A meeting of property-owners along Oak, Fell and Kranklin streeis met at 605 McAllister street last night, and, aiter some aiscussion, indorsed the action of a committee recently appointed through which the Market-street Railway Com- pany was induced to prepare a petition to the Boerd of Sppervisors for parmission to abandon its franchise on Oak sireet from Market to Fillmore. It appearing from the statement of At- torney Frank Lane that the company was willing to abandon that portion of the franchise, to take up its unused tracks on Ozk street and to repave the street, a reso- lution was adopted requesting the Board of Supervisors to grant the petition of the company on the assurance that the tracks would be torn up and the street repaired within a reasonable period of time. ——— Panic in a Lodging-House. A panic was caused in the lodging-house, 1722 Market street, early vesterday morning bya man supposed 1o be & burglar, who was prowling about the seventh siory. Policeman rady wes summoned and he jound the man sianding on the window-sili. He gave tne name of Daniel Ward, and as he appeared to be suffering from an overdose of liguor he was locked up in the City Prison. ived by the Gilt Edge | ing only JAPAN SWEPT BY A TYPHOON The Destruction of Life and Property Was Very Great. The Norwegian Bark Alette Wrecked and Ten Sailors Drowned. An Apprentice on the Olympia Acci- dentally Killed in Yokohama Harbor. The Occidental and Oriental Steanrship Company’s Doric, which arrived from the Orient yesterday, brings the news of a most desiructive typhoon which visited Japan on the 9th inst. The complere re- turns show that there were thirty-eight dea hs, forty-two wounded, 1060 nouses demolisbed, 1040 partially demolished and 4000 greatly damazed. A number of ves- sels dragged their anchors, there were several collisions, vessels on their way to Yokohama had to put to sea and the Norweglan bark Alette, from Vancou- ver, B. C., for Yokobama, was wrecked and ten of her crew drowned. ‘While chronicling the disaster the Jap- anese papers give neither the names of the lost nor those of the survivors. Cap- tain Gullichsen was in command of the Alette and he and the second mate and four sailors were rescued. The bark w. caught in the typhoon and her sails were blown to ribbons and the ruader broken. She then drifted helplessly on the rocks, Where she soon pounded to pieces. The surviy managed 1o jump ashore, but the others were battered to death among the load of lumber with which the vessel was Ireighted, The Alette owned by the captain. o1 800,000 feet of lumber. The siorm destroyed @ great _portion of the water-mains leading to Yokohama und the city was on short allowance when the Doric saileu. ! A fatal accident happened om the . S. Olympia on the 5th inst. Otto Yaughman, an apprentice, fell throurh a grating on 1o a platiorm and broke sev- eral of his ribs and received cther injuries, | from which ne died. He was only 19| yearsold. He was vuried at Yokchama. Speaking of tne lanuing of trained Japanese soldiers in Hawaii the Mail s3 this of a person wi:o signs himseif Not Quite in tke Dark’: He declared that preparations were secretly on foot fvr e Japanese descent upon Hawaii; that the Government in Tokio had definitely made up its mind (o annex the islands, and that the 18,000 Japanese immigrants in He- wail practically consiituted an army, requi weapons, *in the use 0i which ta had been trained wihen serving as conscripts et home.” We do not remembe far these allegations journal in which 2 pointed out At the time that since only 66 out of every 1000 adult males in Jupan serve as conscrijts, there could not be more then 1188 trained men among the 15,000 in Ha- wail, itis now tolerably evident that “One Not Quite in the Dark” wrote with the deliberate iutention of creating a false impression about Japan’s desigus, and that he 100k crre 1o se- cure the ventilation of his falsehoods in America by describing the Japan Herald as “the Goveir t organ.’” This last staie- ment is only a perversion of the truth, not an nal li.

Ladles of the Unit, Churches As- sembled Together. ‘Within the last two years it has come to be an unwritten law that the women of the Unitarian churches around San Francisco Bay should have an informal meeting once in six months, Such a meeting took place at the First Unitarian Charch of this city on Monday afternoon last. Each guest brings to these meet- ings a contribution to the lunch table. After a pleasant luncheon the ladies were called to order in the church parlors, which were made unusually charming by the bright colors ot goldenrod and salvia. Mrs. Horatio Stebbins presided, and the literary programme for the afternoon pro- ceedea. A paper was read by Mrs. M. M. Soule of Alameda on *The Work and Aims of the Women’s Unitarian Conference of the Pacific Coast,” and interesting discussion tollowed in the course of which the rela- tions of Rev. Sarah Pratt Carr to the Unitarian missionary work in the San Joaquin Valley were discussed and the following resolution was unanimously adopted: “That the women of the Unita- rian churches sround San Francisco Bay here assembled express to Rev. Sarah Pratt Carr their warm sympathy and their cordial indorsement of her as a woman and a thinker.” A paper written by Mrs. Thomas L. Eliot of Portland, Or., on “How to Inter- est the Youang People in the Work of the Church’’ was read by Mrs. Louise Hom- phrey-Smith and a discussion followep in whicn the women from Alameda, Oak- iand, Berkeley and San Francisco (Seconad Church) took part, detailing their per- sonal experiences with the young people An added charm was given tothe meet. ing by the singing of Mrs. James M.- Pierce.

Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission OVER A BLUFF 10 S DEATE The Dead Body of a Man Found in Kelso’s Quarry. He Fell a Distance of One Hun- dred and Twelve Feet, The Coroner's Autopsy Showed That Death Resulted From the Fall. Some boys, while playing at Kelso's quarry at the intersection of Chestnut and Montgomery streets yesterday morning, saw the body of a man lying among the rocks at the base of Telegraph Hill seey veing under the impression that h s drunk notifiea a police oflicer, McGowan, whom they saw at the waler front, An investization revealed the fact that the man was dead. The Coroner’s otlice was notified and the body taken to the Morgue, where an examination of his clothes brought to light a memorandum ook in his pocket, in which was wricten, San Francisco, Cal.’’ In this book was an entry, or rather en- fries, showing that ne had worked for Ea Wilson for a few days and received §1 on account. On an adjoinining leaf was an eniry showing that he had worked for J. Where the Body of George E. Wilson Was Found in Keiso’s Quarry at the Foot of Tele- graph Hill, B. Herbert for seven and one-half days and received $250 on account for the same. Further on in the book was an- other entry showing that he had worked for R. D. Morgan from the 12th to the 31st of August, for which he made an entry showing the receipt of $10. For the same man his entry al-o showed that he had worked from the lstto the 25th of Sep- tember, Sundavs omitted, making in all twenty-one days’ work ior this man in the present month. othing else was found upon his person by whict he could be identified. Stamped on a leaflet circular were the words *‘St. James Hotel,” whicn might infer that he had been in San Jose, as there is a hotel in that city by that name. The names of those for whom be worked could not be found in the San Francisco Directory. The place where the uniortunate man met his death is one of the most danger- ous to be found 1n the city. Itis at the junction of Montgomery and Chestnut streets, where Contractor Kelso has been quarrying for the seawall and other water tront improvements for some time, and by so doing the face of the gnarry from its base to the top at the streeis mentioned is 112 feet in a perpendicu:ar line. ‘At the junction of the streets there is a wooden fence placed across both the streets, except at the southern side of Chestnut street, where there is an opening sufficiently large to permit a man to pass. Through this opening Wilson must have walked. The autopsy showed that death was produced from a fracture of the skull. There was along gash in the back of the bead and the whole body was broken from coniact with the projecting rocks during the fall from the heights. Itis not a sheer descent, but is interrupted by shelves of rock. The deceaszed was about 35 years of age, and was dressed in a pepper and salt suit of clothes with a soft hat which had been broken in the crown, The appearance of his hands showed that he had been en- gaged in hard mznual labor. REGULAR ARMY NOTES Improvements in the Enlisted Men’s Quarters at the Pre- sidio Post. The Adjutant of the Department of California After Many Years Re- ceives a Medal of Honor. The new brick quaiters for the enlisted men at the Presidio Post are now all occupied, and are said to be the most comfortable buildings of their class at any post in the United Staies. They are of brick, two stories in height, and each building, one detached fror the other, has a storage busement. The bui'dings ere provided with all the modern sanitary ap- pliances and have been arranged with a view to the comiort and heaith of the men who occupy them. At this time an additional im- provement is being meade which will increase the attractiveness of the portion of the post in which the quarters stand. Along the entire length of the quarters there is being laia s concrete walk iour feet wide, and about twenty-five feet east of this is another simiiar walk on & parallel line. These two walks are connected by concrete walks that lead to the main entrance of esch quarter, and the space between these cross-walks is being filled in with loam, and each will be converted into a tasteful flower garden. The quarters oc- cupied by Companies C, F and G o1 the Third Ariillery, and located at tne northern ena of the row, are being arranged by a landscape gardener. The designs embrace immense crossed can- nons in plants ordinarily used in arranging growing floral emblems, with the number of ihe regiment above and the letter of the com- pany below the desigu; shields, crossed sworas and anchors, and when the work “This is the property of George E. Wilson. | snall bave been completed the visitors to the post will see an sdded beauty by walking in front of these quarters. The soldiers are proud of tue post and they are snxious to do {8ll they can to make it as atiractive as pos- | sible, The monument in the National Cemete over the graves of the soldiers who were ki duriog the railroad strike at Secramento is still guarded by a sentry day and night. The graveyard post is one thatis not “hankered after” by the men, but itis one at which no man ever falls asiecp during the time that he is on duty.

These changes are under r centorders to the effect thut post and reg mental commanders will, until the promuigsa- tion of further orders, prescribe such drills and the hours for the same, s they may deem necessary and for the best interest of their commands, having a due regard for existing orders and regulations. By order of the President Lieutenant-Col- onel J. B. Babcock, sssistant adjuiant-gener: of the army and adjutani-general of the de- partment of Californis, is to be decorated with amedal of honor for distinguished service.

The advance sale of seats has been ex- tremely large and an immense crowd will be in attendance. The fact that Charles A. Kraft, the great road racer, had been been declared a pro- fessional, as told exclusively in TEE CALL Sunday, bas created » great deal of talk in cycling circles. Kraft is popular with most of the riders, owing to his fairness and modesty, and cousiderable regret was expressed at the action. Many voiced the opinion that Kraft, if he erred, did so un- wittingly, and that many amateurs had batteries of the Third Artillery and assign- ments of lieutenants of that branch of the service, which go into effect on Friday next, affect some of the officers: at the Presidio, Al catruz and Ange! Island: First Lieutenant Charles B. Satterlee, from Light Battery F to Battery L; First Lieutenant Henry H. Ludlow, from Battery L to Battery B, vice First Lieutenant John P. Hains, who, under instructions heretofore given, will serve out his tour of duty with Light Battery F; Second Lieutenant Edwsrd P. O'He from Battery H to Lignt Battery F, v: ond Lieutenant Percy M. Kessler, to Bat- tery H. .

Kraft will not apply for reinstatement, and he is therefore practically lost to the cycling worid. As an amateur road racer he was a world-beater. Toere are no pro- lessional road races, and Kraft will be like a fish out of water in that class. Kraft’s departure from cycle racing will be a distinct loss to the sport in ttis State. His wonderful road records lent it great interest, und many have peen attracted to the scene of a road event just because the sturdy Teuton to compete, and they knew he was likely todv sometbing re- markable.
