For an Entire Month Seas :Were Breaking Over Her Aimost Constantly. cial Dispatch to THE CALL. TACOMA, Nov. 8.+The British bark Earl Dunraven, which arrived last nignt 150 days ifrom London, experienced ter- rific storms off Caps Horn. During the entire month of August it was a battle for lite fur Capiain Williams and his sturdy crew. In the South Pacific August is a mid winter month, wi for the tremendous gales which blew the Dunraven hundreds of miles backward. Day after day the vessel put her nead to the westward and strucgled against the contrary squalis, but was datly compelled to give up the unequal fight and turn her prow to the teeth of the gale and lie to in the surging bitlows Sails were split, whipped into shreds and carried away by furious winds like so many sheets of gauze. Freezing waters swept the decks, drenching the men and throwing them against the iron bulwarks, The good ship trembled, stagzered and piunged as gales whistled through her cordage and swayed her tall masts. She was wrapped in an armor of ice. A balf dozen of tue crew were inca- pacitated from duty, and bruises, bumps and injured limts fell to the lot of nearly every man aboard that memorable month. At times the terror of the situation was enhanced by spectacular electrical demonstrations of the heavens. The lowering clouds would seem to crack; then flames of lighthing would chase over the ridges of the curving sea, and in a mo- ment there would follow deep-toned bel- lowing, &l telling that mighty Jove was hurling his mizhtiest thunderbolis. During the worst of the storm Able Sea- man Farrington fell fiity feet and was badly bruised about the arms and body. The bark strained heavily and her dec! were constantly covered by water. Mem- bers of the crew say they were drenched througktout the month. Sometimes the men would be thrown to the deck and swept beneath the spare longside, and their feliow-seamen would bave to draz them out, under a pen- etrating mist or a spiashing sea. MURDER OF A FOLICEMAN. Mérchants Who Failed Are Suspected of Having Committed the Crime. ATLANTA, GaA., Nov. 8—Patrolman J. T. Ponder was killed to-night at 7 o'clock while shadowing a suspected burzlar who had entered the wholesale whisky house of L. Steinau. ‘When the policeman entered the store, foliowing the supposed burglar, he was fired upon five times and died in a few minutes. rlv this morning the business house of Steinan was placed in the hands of a receiver, and Policeman Ponder knew the house bad beea closed by the Sheriff when he saw the man enter the building. Tne volice intimate that some member of the firm, endeavoring to secure mouney from the vault. entered, and finding him- self discovered killed the only eye-wit- ness, who was the policeman. Steinau was immediately placed under arrest. Other members of the firm are under arrest, and the investigation has caused a tremendous sensation. When the rcceiver leit the building this after- noon he locked the big vault and turned the combination. Af:er the assassination the vault was found unlocked and a bunch of keys was picked up near by. All who are underar- rest deny knowing anything about the tragedy. e Paying for the Union Pacific. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—It is the under- standing of the Union Pacific reorganiza- tion committee that the purchase money will e paid as follows: November 20, 15 per cent of the sinking und, less the amount already paid, $12,000,000, the bal- ance to be paid in ‘our equal instaliments of about $8,000,000 each, at intervals of ten days, beginning December 6. t and is now | accounts | progress was meade to-day in the trial for | murder of Martin Thorn in the Queens County Court of Over and Terminer at | Long Island City, and when court ad- journed the jury had been completed. It | had been exvected that the obtaining of the jury would be a long and tedious pro- cess, owing to the wide publicity that had been given to the crime with wuich he is charged and the supposed prejudice against him. The case is based upon the discovery in June last, in East River and Ogden’s | woods, north of this city, of portions of a human body. The head was missing, but { by a series of curious links in achain of | circumstantial evidence, the portions of the dismembered remains have been iden- tified by a pumber of witnesses as the body of William Guldensuppe, a rubber in a Turkistu bath house in this city. Guldensuppe had not been at his work for several aays before the ghastly discov- eries of his -upposed remains, nor has he been seen since that time, unless, asis alleged, he was seen in Germany by a cer- tain Carl Peterson, of whom no one seems to know, except counsel for the man who was put on trial to-day for murder. Tha postulate of the identity of the | corpse being conceded the next thing to be done was to look up Guldensuppe’s connections, and from them to ascertain, if possible, a motive for his murder. It was easily ascertained that he lived on terms of intimacy with Mrs. Augusta Nack, a midwife; that some time before the disappearance of Guldensuppe the pair had quarreled, and that, in the woman’s flat, Guldensuppe bad fought with and beaten the man who bad supplanted him in his mistress’ affec- tion, Martin Thorn, a neigibor, wh smarting under the beating, was ove: heard to threaten to get even with Gulden- suppe. Here, then, were motives that might have inspired a murder—a woman de- sirous of being ria of a discarded lover, whose proximity might at any moment become troublesome, and the successful rival who had experienced the superior prowe:s of his predecessor in the woman’s | affzction, and who might again be made to suffer the pain and humiliation of beat- ing. The arrest of Mrs. Nack was followed a few days later by tnai of Thorn, whose whereabouts was disclosed by John Goths, a barber and a relative of the ac- | cused by marriage. Gotha has made the statement, upon which the police reiy to aid in Thorn’s conviction, that Tnorn ad- mitted his guilt to him, d since Thorn has been confined two men who shaved him at different times have told of in- criminating admissions by the accused. Briefly, 1t is alleged that Mrs. Nack lured Guldensuppe to a cottage in Woodside, Long Island, where she said she was about to estab- lish a ‘“baby farm’; that in that cot- tage Thorn wayliid and shot Guiden- sunpe, afterward severing his bead, dis- membering his corpse and disposing of the remains in various ways. Jacob Bumstead, Michael Mulgannon and John Kinsey, farmers; Frank E. Marsb, saloon-keeper; Charles J. Nichols, oyster-man; Mangus Larsen John Conklin, mechanic Wheeler, a poiisher and vrinter; John C. Schlegel, janitor; P. Waters, grocer; T. B. Bellows, real-estate broker, and Joseph I. Townsend, farmer, were accepted as jurors, and the court then adjourned un- ul 10 A. M. to-morrow, when the trial will begin. STRANDED VESSEL SOLD AT AUGTION 111-Fated Glenmorag Disposed of on the Eeach Near Astoria. Less Than Two Thousand Dollars Realized From the Hull and Riggling. Special dispatch to THE CALL ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 8.—The stranded Glenmorag was sold to-day at auction un- der the direction of the British Vice-Con- sul, on North Beach. The hull was pur- chased bv John Kiernan of Portland for $675; the rigging, furniture, etc., was bought by Fisher Bros., Foard & Stokes, R. Carruthers and Kiernan for sums ag- gregating $1000. Had it not been for the parting of the hawser the Glenmorig would hLave been floated two weeks ago to-dav at high tide, and thousands of dollars spent in the effort to get her off the beach would have been saved. The hawser attached to the big anchor at sea broke at the critical moment and the vessel wasthirown back upon the sands in a worse condition than before. Experts fiom San Francisco ten days ago appraised her at $10.000, owing to her eusy position on the beach. The Glenmorag is a full-rigged iron ship and was stranded near Ocean Park on March 19, 1896, during a dense fog and heavy storm. ——————— Indepondent Foresters.

Colonel Miles of the Kirst does not fully indorse the vlan of allowing men of his regiment to remain here for transfer to be better for the service if the band and all the men belonging to the regiment should go w here the regiment goes. It 1s the general opinion ai the post that another order, revoking the order of suspension, will soon be issued by the i Secretary of War and that the First In- fantry will go to Fort Logan and the Seventh come to the Presidio at once. A dispatch to THE CALL from Denver gives this visw of the suspension at that point. DENVER, Nov. 8.—There is considerable vexatious suspense now being endured by the chiefs of the various departments at armv headquarters arising out of the query, “Is there to be a near change of the Seventh and First Infantries or is there not?” Geaeral Otis said to-day he had heard noth- ing from Washington since the last dispaten temporarily suspenaing the transfer had been received. The quartermaster's depariment likewise professed ignorance of the matter being in anything save statu quo. The coun- termand order bas caused a sort of panicky unessiness. There isa quiet rumor at head- uarters to the effect that the department at Washington received some kind of tip from this department which saved the Government being placed in an avkward predicament. It is sald that this referred to the uncertain siate of ownership of the Union Pacific and the Government’s relatious thereto. The day after the tip was wired from this department ap answer came ordering a suspension of the movement. The work of making ready for the move, however, has been nearly com- pleted at Fort Lozan, and should the order for iranference be received the Seventh Infantry would be ready to moye within a few hours. e o = MR, 0'CONNOR'S FUNERAL.

PRIZE FOOTBALL PROHIBITED. Lower House of the Georgia Legis- lature Passes the Bill in Short Crder. ATLANTA, Nov. 8. —Without one word of discussion the House of Representa- tives, by a vote of 91 to 3, to-day passed the anti-football bill, and it is now on its way to the Senate. This remarkable result was anticipated, notwithstanding the warm opposition of the State University, which, recovering from the shock of Student von Gamm’s death, tried to stem the tide of opposition 1n order to save the game. A powerful card was played by an ap- peal to the mother of the dead student, to which she responded by calling on the Legislature not to prohibit a game that ner son loved so well. “I approve,” she said, ‘“‘of football as a college game to develop those who would otherwise lose all interest in athletics.” The bill as passed to-day provides that it shall be unlawful for any person or per- sons to come together and play a prize or match game of football in eny park or other place in this State where a fee 1s charged for admission to the game. One thousand dollars fine or one year in the penitentiary, or both together, were fixed as the penalty. e e e BOY ATTEMPTS ASSASSINATION. Dr. P. B.
