Schuester was putting out the lights paratory to locking the station for he night. He stepped to the door and as about to turn the key in the lock 'hen he was felled by a terrific blow on the back of the head from some heavy instrument. Schuester is una- ble to describe the man who assaulted him. The blow he received rendered him unconscious, and when he lay upon the floor of the station, his assailant robbed him of his gold watch and chain and $30 in cash, and then made cff.

Pacific Grove Citizen Horribly Lacerated by a Mastiff Which He Sought fo Pet. —Lewls iTove, was bitten by a dog yesterday after- noon, and is now in a dangerous con- dition. The doctors fear blood poison- ing from the wounds. Having occasion to enter the drying- yard of the Yim-Yim laundry, where a vicious mastiff is chained, he ventured too close to the dog, and &p the brute g at him as far as his chain uld allow.

This is the firat time he has bitten any one. - KILLS AN UNASMED MAN. Muyrder Done by a Lumber-Camp Employe at Olympia. OLYMPIA, Dec. 26.—“Jack’ Cronin, & driver in the McDonald logging camp, shot and killed Tony Ferardi in a sa- loon to-night. Three shots were fired by Cronin, either one of which would have been fatal. After the shootin; Cronin walked into the barroom, lai his revolver on the bar and expressed his willingness to give himself up. The shooting was the result of pre- vious trouble. Both were more or less intoxicated. Just before the shots were fired Fer- ardi was talking to a gentleman In the back room of the saloon, when Cronin entered, and, addressing the Italian, asked: “Have you got a knife?” and on receiving a negative reply, commenced shooting. e Cashed a Bogus Check. BSALINAS, Dec. 26.—A man who gave | his name as “Jac Wilson was ar- | rested yesterday afternoon by Sheriff | Matthews and Deputy Sheriff Nesbitt, charged with having obtained money under false pretenses. It that Wilson entered a store at Sole- dad several days ago and asked the proprietor to make out a check for him, giving as a reason for the request that he was unable to write. The merchant willingly wrote the check, drawing it for $17 and some cents, payable on one of the Salinas banks, and signing Wilson’s name, the latter making his mark. Wilson then cashed the check and when it was presented at the bank no money was found to his cre- dit. Wilson was brought to Sallnas last night to await a hearing. OSSN iy Falls From a Wagon While Asleep. CARSON, Dec. 26.—A serious acci- dent occurred at Pine Grove Friday night. Milton Prichard and J. A.

British Steamer Lamberts Point Arrives at St. Johns With Her Cargo of Cotton Ablaze. ST. JOHNS, N. F. Dec. 26.—The British steamer Lamberts Point, Cap- taln Humphreys, seven days from Nor- folk, Va., for Liverpool, with cattle, cotton, grain and a general cargo, has arrived here with the cotton on fire and the ship in a bad state. On- Friday afternoon the fire was discovered in the compartment amidships. It gained headway rapidly. Holes were cut in the cabin flooring, pipes inserted and | the compartment flooded with steam | and water. The captain headed the | | vessel for this port, and for forty hours nobody rested, all hands battling with | the fire, which steadily gained and | spread to the fore compartment. It then became necessary to flood this, which gave the ship a list of 11 degrees | to the starboard. She met terrible weather in trying to | reach here. Her sides and deck were | | almost unbearable with heat, and the | | provisions were spoiled by steam and | smoke. The paint {s now peeling off her sides, while gangs of men are land- ing the cattle, almost maddened by the t. heat Cag)tajn Humphreys admits that he could not have conirolled the fire twen- ty-four hours longer. Holes are being cut in the vessel's side to admit more steam, in the bage of having the fire subdued by Tuesday, when the cotton will be discharged until the seat of the fire i reached. Nearly the entire cargo was damaged. STEEL MEN TALK OF EXTENDING THE WIRE TRUST. Efforts Will Be Made to Induce All the | Billet Mills in the Country to Join the Combine. CLEVELAND, Ohlo, Dec. 26.—There is talk among steel men of a further extension of the scope of the new wire | trust. It is now said that efforts will be made to induce all the steel billet mills in the country to ally themselves with the trust, not as members, but as contributors. The trust will .seek to | | indtice the manufacturers of billets to | | promise not to sell to wire manufac- | | turers that may possibly start outside | | of the trust, and in return the trust | will promise to take billets from all | these manufacturers as it may need | them. The object of this is to keep | the billet-makers in good humor and prevent their going into business them- selves. Those who are closest to the source of the information express the utmost econfidence in the carrying | through the plans for the formation | of the trust, and it may be sald that all the negotiations are progressing favorably. 0LD WOODEN BUILDINGS 1 BURNED AT CAWP LOW. The Office, Storehouse, Stable and One of the Lodging-Houses Reduced to | Ruins. SANDY HOOK, N. J.,, Dec. 26.—The | office, storehouse, stable and one of the lodging-houses, 2ll old wooden build- | ings, at Camp Low were consumed by fire early this morning. Camp Low was established at the former landing | of the Sandy Hook boats. During the | cholera scare a few years ago the whart and platform were inclosed and rooted over, and several hundred pas- sengers were kept in quarantine there, The Marine Hospital doned the station last year, and the bulldings were purchased by a con- tractor who used them as a. large boarding camp for the men employed in building garrison quarters at Fort | Hancock. ~ An overheated stove is sup- | posed to have .caused the fire. | | | | —_— | Death of a Noted Athlete. | ALBANY, N. Y. Dec. 26.—John Cosgrave, a well-known athlete, died in the City Hospital to-day after an operation for appendicitis. He was a member of the New Jersey Athletic Club, the Ridrefield Athletic Club and the Tenth Battalion A. A. of the Na- tional Guard.

Cos- grave’s work has always been consid- | ered of the highest order, and in all- | round work on the fleld and track h | had few euperiors. — - | Not to Accept Employers’ Terms. LONDON, Dec. 28.—The outcome of the ballot of the striking engineers, | taken as the result of the recently ad- | Journed conference between the repre- | sentatives of the men and the employ- ers, will not be known for several days, but there is no doubt that the verdict is overwhelmingiy against the accept- | ance of the terms of the employers. { AR T Little Girls Fatally Burned.

CHRISTM@AS IN BETHLEHEM. Interesting Lecture by Rev. Father Carahber of St. Francis Church. One of the most instructive lectures ever heard on the Holy Land in this city was delivered last night at St Francis Church, Vallejo street and Montgomery avenue, by Rev. Father Terrence Caraher. He took for his text Luke fi:15 ISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1897 PORCH CLIMBERS [N THE TANKS Louis Stack and Henry Ashmann Arrested by James Conlon. A Special Officer Makes a Good “Haul” on O'Farrell Street Last Evening. Supposed by the Police to Be the ©Old Mission District Operators. The two porch climbers who have been operating throughout the Mission and Western Addition are now sup- posed to be behind prison bars. In fact, they are in the tanks at the Cie¥ Prison, booked as Louis Stack and Henry Ashmann. As Special Officer James Conlon Jr. was patrolling that section last evening he noticed two men acting in a peculiar manner, She tried again yesterday, but again The schooners Webfoot and Martha W.

The heaviest gales that blow on this | coast are from the southeast or north- | west, and they are never accompanied | by a breaking bar. Southwest or west- | erly weather always makes trouble at | the Golden Gate, and therefore the off- shore storm must have been from one of these points, while the prevailing wind here has been from the northeast. | | The ship Henry B. Hyde made a | good passage from New York, but it is | now outside fighting the baffling north- | east winds. On the 21st inst. she was | spoken 365 miles off shoras by the Mall steamer Australia, but has not been seen since. The Glenfinart, spoken by | the China, is in the Bame box, and the bark Mauna Ala and the barkentine 8. N. Castle are now out nineteen and twenty days, respectively, from Hono- lulu, and the chances are that they | also came up on the wings of the fa- voring = southwest or westerly storm, only to meet the fate of the Henry B. Hyde and Glenfinart at the hands of the northeast zephyr. = The schooner Webfoot, for the Sound, went out light last Saturday. It was plain sailing until the bar was reached, and then vessel and crew had a rough time of it. With very little warning the bar began breaking and the schooner was tossed about like a cork on the crest of the waves. Once over the rough spot and cleared away on her course the ocean was as calm as the proverbial mill pond. The schooner Martha W. Tufts, with a full cargo and a deckload of lumber for La Paz, | Mexico, attempted to follow the Web- foot out, but failed. Her captain sought everywhere for a break in the wall of foam, but could not find one, | even in the north channel. Not caring | to endanger his deck load the schooner | was put about and came to an anchor | near Arch Rock. Yesterday the Web- | foot was taken in tow by the tug Ida | W and another attempt to cross out | was made, but it also failed, and the | | vessel is now anchored off Meiggs | | wharf. ¥ | “Jack” Healy and “Billy” Dugan, | | boatmen at the Folsom-street wharf, narrowly escaped drowning yesterday. Both of their whitehells capsized, and had it not been for Bruno Nelson, the“ | watchman on the old monitor Caman- | | che, one or both of them might have | lost their lives. Healy is by far the | better oarsman, but Dugan thought | he could outrow him in a race around | the Camanche and back to the Fol- | som-street float. A bet of a New| Year's dinner was made on the resuit, | and the two men stripped for the con | test. Two of Henry Peterson’s white- | halls were secured and Captain Wil- | son saw to It that the men got away | on even terms. Healy was the first too close a turn and his boat was car- ried by the tide against the warship and capsized. Healy at once went to his assistance, but while clambering aboard Dugan managed to capsize the second boat. Both men held on and their cries brought Nelson to their as- slstance. After getting them aboard the monitor he went after the white- halls and brought them and their fit- tings alongside. By this time Healy and Dugan were all right again, so calling the race off they rowed ashore to get a change of ciothes. The New Year” dinner has not been called off, however, but the rivals are to hold a Joint celebration and Bruno Nelson is to be the guest of honor. | Captain H. C. Killman of the bark Topgallant is to take command of the ship Invincible on her arrival from Pu- get Sound, vice Captain Howland, who is compelled to remain ashore on ac- count of {ll health. Captain Andrews, formerly of the barkentine Marion and lately mate of the Topgallant, will go out as master in Captain Killman's place. Captain Andrews was married a few days ago, and this will be his first voyage in the Topgallant as mas- ter and benedict. The repairs to the yacht Aggie are proceeding very slowly.

Extending up to the saddle and almost cutting the city in two is a deep ravine or wady, as it is called by the Arabs, while it is skirted by another ravine on the south, and these hills and ravines have always made it a strong strat- egic position in time of war. “‘On either gide of the central ravine are natural and artificial terraces om which flourish the fig, olive and the vine. On the southern hill is situated the grotto of the nativity, around which 80 many sacred memories cluster. It is reached on the north side by a flight of sixteen steps and on the south by a flight of thirteen steps. It Is 39 feet long, from 10 to 12 fect wide and 10 feet high.” Then followed & brilllant word painting of the famous panorama seen from an eminence in Bethlehem. “I shall not easily forget bur visit to the grotto three years ago yester- day. As I stood within the grotto an indescribable feeling seized my whole frame, for T realized forcibly that I was standing upon the spot that was lighted by the brightness of heaven on the first Christmas night, where the angels announced the glad tidings of the Savior's birth and where the heavenly host gang, ‘Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace and good will to men.” The feeling pro- cduced in my soul that hour was so deep and permanent that I imagined that I heard the angels chanting, ‘Gloria In Excelsis Deo et in Terra Pax Hominibus..” At this point the choir broke forth and repeated the angellc strains. It was very impreesive and a wonderful effect was produced on the immense audience. Father Caraher then {mpressively told how he celebrated mass in the grotto at 3:30 o'clock in the morning. The musical selections compris a violin solo by Miss Clotilda Devlin and selections rendered by a Bicllian choir in charge of A. B. Collins. ———e————— P eSS S S NS S S YO PIUY VOTE FOR THESE.

Mass-Meeting Yesterday and Demon- stration Expscted From San Fran- cisco’s 20,000 Scandinavians. A general meeting of Norweglans was held in Pythian Castle, 909 Market street, yesterday afternoon to discuss & reception to be given to Dr. Nansen upon his arrival here. As the meeting was called in a hurry the attendance was not so large as expected. The sentiment of the gath- ering was unanimously in favor of getting up as big a demonstration as possible in honor of the famous ex- plorer and scientist. Consul Henry Lund opened the meet- ing and was elected chairman byaccla- mation. Mr. Lund gave the history of the movement up to the present time and suggested a plan by which a co-operation of the three Scandinavian peoples could be effected in this city. After some discussion an executive committee of five was elected. This committee received instructions to address the Swedes and the Danes of San Francisco and ask them to co- operate. It was thought advisable to communicate with the several Nor- weglan, Bwedish and Danish lodges, societies and to iInvite each of them to send a representative to the committee. A general committee could then be organized with the present members as a nucleus. The committee was also given full power to- act, to find the ways and means to get up anything that could fit the occasion and do justice to the rtance of the affair. he singing societies were represent- ed at the meeting, and the chairman of thelr committee, P. O. Aune, promised their support. He reported that the practicing of the Danish national songs was well started and that the singing societies would do everything in their line toward a big showing. , The committee elected was as fol- lows: John S. Lindtner, John Ferem, Elias Rund, Oliver Olsen and Andreas Biolstad. Rev. C. Hoel, pastor of the Scandl- navian Lutheran Church, addressed the meeting in a very enthusiastic and patriotic speech, urging the Scand!- navians to a friendly and harmonious combination. He sald that this was an occasion for which all Scandinavi- ans could and ought to pull together, then & mutual understanding would surely bring about a great and credita- ble showing. He also remarked that there are about 20,000 Scandinavians in San Francisco, a number to justify :lxpecuuom of something worth no- ce. After the meeting -the ttee came together and elected officers as follows: Elias Rund, chairmsn, and Andreas Biolstad, secretary and treas: urer. The committee will begin its work right away and decided to meet to- morrow. The official address of the Nansen reception committee is 214 California street, where the secretary wil receive all communications and give informa- tion to all parties interested in the movement. —_——————— RACINGAGAIN AT INGLESIDE.

With this number a cavalcade of at least 300 | aids would be in line on the day of the grand parade. Tne finance com- | mittee of the general committee also favored the committee with a com- munication urging the collection of funds by the Natlve Sons and with this communication was a collection book for each Parlor. A parade committee consisting of seven was appointed as follows: L. F. Byington, F. R. Nevill, A. L. Head, W. ]g Shea, L. Nonnenmann, L. H. Moser and F. H. Mills, with instruc- tions to ascertain the probable ex- pense of placing one or two floats in the parade. A communication was or- dered to be sent to the general com- mittee asking how many pands of mu- sic will be furnished to the Sons’ di- vision. A committee on finance consisting of the following was appointed: Charles Stanyan, W. J. Phelps, Ben Lucke, C. R. Schiueter, Gus Fredericks, Charles Steiger and Frank Eckworth. A member of the Musicians’ Union, who was also a delegate, stated that the union had decided to charge $7 per man for each musician employed on that day, and $14 for the leaders. This brought up a question as to whether the musiclans were disposed to give the jubllee celebration “leg” an extra pull, but the imputation was met with a prompt denial by the delegate, who stated that the regular price of the un- fon was $8 a day for all street parades, except that of Labor Day, when the price was fixed at $5 a day. | Bunday afternoon, when further re- | Eorts will be submitted and action ta- € ———— Qourt Eureka Elects.
