E D OF AN OCEAN RACE The Brig Lurline Beat Five Others in a Run From Honolulu. Arrival of the Wrecked Bark Blairlogie’s Crew From Papeete. averal and Chartered for the Klon- dike Trade. The fleet of racers from Honolulu ar- | rived in a bunch yesterday. Sunday night they were all off the Farallones, and came into port one after the other in the morning. The distance covered {8 considerably over 2000 miles, and yet there was not six hours’ difference in the time occupied by the different ves- sels making the run. They sighted each other on many oc- casions during the race, and the bark- entine Archer and the brig W. G. Ir- win were in company on several occa- gions. In ligh ht weather the brig would run away from her more heavily spar- red comg ion, but when it came on to blow a bit the Archer always caught up with her. The fleet that got in was the brig W. G. Irwin, the barkentines W. H. Dimond and Archer, the bark ‘Albert and the schooner Transit. The brig Lurline also came in from Kahu- lui, but as she was not in the race her time does not count. The Lurline was off Meiggs wharf and at anchor before any of the other vessels showed up. The Irwin was the next to come in, and she was followed by the Dimond. Then came the Arch- er, in tow of the tug Rescue, and the Albert, in tow of the tug Alert. The Transit, which was backed in Honolu- 1u to win the race, was the last of the fleet to get in. The barkentine City of Papeete ar- rived from Tahiti yesterday with eight- een of the crew of the wrecked British bark Blairlogie on board. The vessel went ashore on Matahira Island, one of the Tahita group, and became a to- tal wre The crew escaped, and Cap- tain Mackay sent a boat to Papeete to istance. The steamer Croix nt out by the French and brought in the ship- all of whom took pas- gage on the Papeete/save four who will cast thelr fortunes in with the natives.

Captain Mackay says that when she struck on the reef everything possible was done to get her off, but she swung ide on, and soon began to break The entire crew had to walk across the island on which they were wreck- ed, in order to meet the boat that was sent to their rescue. When half way across the men deserted the captain and children, ving that of every man for him- When Captain Hutton of the French steamer heard what the men had done he refused to allow any of them aboard until they went back and brought in the captain and b amily.

The Pacific Steam Whal- bt npany expects to be kept busy carrving sengers all next summer to the er River; it will run the steamers Valencia, Fxcelsior, Alliance and Wolcott at regular intervals to Orea Statfon. At that point the steam- ers will connect with stern wheel boats belon ing to the company, and passen- 11 be taken to any point within »nable distance of the place to h they want to go. The steamer City of Stockton was nearly eight hours late in getting in vesterday. When a mile out of Stock- ton she stuck in the mud, and the cap- tain and crew had great difficulty in freeing her. The United States sailed from Honolulu and may be expected to arrive here in time for the Jubilee celebration. She has on board eight prisoners and four gick men from the Baltimore and Ben- nington, all of whom will be sent to Mare Island as soon as the warship reaches port. The old sealing schooner Emma and Touisa is having a hard time of it in Hawalian waters. She was purchased by San Diego people when her sealing davs were over and placed in the Honolulu trade. This was her first voy- age to the Paradise of the Pacific as a trader, and it is likely to be her last, steamer Adams on the 6th inst., The Hawaiian authorities got it into | their heads that there was something wrong with the vessel's cargo, and threw every obstacle possible in the captain’s pendent said “The schooner Emma 8nd Louisa has seventy tons of cargo left in her hcld. The ~aptein is making a storehouse of the vessel, which is be- ing guarded by Custom House guards at the rate of $6 a da Commenting upon this matter, the Independent said: “The owners of the schooner and its cargo attempted a commercial exneri- ment which niight have materfally ben- efited quite a section of this communi- ty. Tt is unfortunate that their first re- ception should have been so unkind'v, hut prohably, as ever, the custem offi- clals, when properly called upon may be in a position to justify the extra pre- cautions they are said to have taken in reeard to the vessel's cargo.” The schooner Adam W. Sples, from Roston to lulu, was on fire while the Peru was in port. “Tt started in the lazarette, and Captain Godette is of the opinion that it was incendiary. The crews of the Baltimore. Bennington and Adams were soon on the scene, and it did not take them long to get the fire under control. The call for ships for the Rinndike rush 1s still unabated. The schooner M. Coleman has been chartered at the rate of $100 a day and the ship Eclipse at the rate of $50 a day. In the case of the Coleman theowner paysthe ronning expenses, but in the case of the Eclinse they are paid by the charterer.

SCOTCH SOCIAL. A Pleasant Evening Spent by the Members of the Westminster Church. A Scotch soclal was given at the West- minster Presbyterian Church by the ladies of the congregation last evening. Laughter was the principal thing on the programme and then a little talk and once and & while a song or a plano se- lection. Everybody had a good time and the evening, which was an experiment, was a success. It was decided to have such an evening every month. The programme was: Piano Miss Carrington; sons by the West- minster Church quartet; duet -by Mr. Larson of the Knickerbocker quartet; duet by Miss Perkins and Mr. Davis; song by Mirlam Thompson; songs by Robert Burne. — e CHARGED WITH GRAND LARCENY | John Ralney Caught in the Act of Robbing a Room. John Rainey, a boller-maker, was ar- rested last evening by Officers O'Connell, McCormick and Tracey for stealing a sealskin coat and a silk dress from the rooms of Bridget Johnson at 24 Geneva street, Rainey appliied for permission to enter the back yard, but instead went upstairs and stole the property. When he had en- tered the yard on his way out a bull dog gave an alarm, which could be heard for blocks, and the officers quickly responded at Mrs. Johnson's calls for help, with the result that Rainey is in prison. SAN FRANCISCO IS WELL KNOWN As an Outfitting Port It Is At- tracting Thousands in the East. More Re; Al fi Trade Committee's | Car. D. M. Carman, secretary of the Alaska trade committee, returned Sunday even- ing from Chicago, and reports that the interest in Alaska and the Klondike throughout the sections visited, as well as those with which he corresponds, far exceeds his expectations, and he beliey the number of people going into the Alaska gold fields during the coming sea- son has not been overestimated. he trip from here to Chicago was a It is doubtful whether a pa similar purpose ever received such welcomes and was entertained by such people as met the Alaska trade com- mittee's car. In every city visited the party was recelved by the Mayors, to- gether with representative business men, and in three of the States the Governors came to the car and extended a welcome to the party. In addition to this the Governor of Nebraska sent a long tele- of the Success of the gram to Omaha expressing his regret at | not being able to meet the party. and subsequently he sent his chief of staff to personally receive it. Governor Tanner of Tllinois was at the Great Northern and awaited the arrival of the party there. Mr. Carman was_quite enthusiastic in | the expression of his views concerning the desirability of the jubilee mining ex- hibit being taken to Omaha at the closs of the fair here. He belleves that greater good can be done for Callfornia in gene- ral, as well as San Francisco in particu- | lar, by this than by any other effort | that could be put forth in connection with the Trans-Mississippi and Inter- national Exposition at Omaha. —_———— YUKON MdiL.

All Sorts of Electrifying Ru- mors in the Halls of ! the Rich. Select Old Fami y Skeletons Taken Out of Their Closets for an Alring. Poor Mr. Greenway Is excited. His | massive brow is decorated not with beads, but buttons of perspiration, and his usual mild seal eyes actually flash, | in spite of the fact that all eyes, ir- | respective of color, have been enjoined by Ambrose Bierce never to do so. Ned's temper and patience have been sorely tried. Everybody seems deter- mined to draw him into a fight. There have been chips innumerable placed upon his square, manly shoulders, and he has had to empioy an able assist- ant just to hold him back. He won’t even submit to the sooth- ing influence of an interview. His us- ual good nature has forsaken him, and | the newspaper man’s card is returned | | with a polite if not strictly truthful | | “not at home.” | | And the air is full of rumors—ru- mors that only the great leader can satisfactorily explain. and that is why | the following note, typewritten on fin- | est copy paper, was handed him be- | tween the acts at the Baldwin last night. Mr. Greenway: Will you kindly answer the following questions for The Call? Why did you postpone your dance from the 19th of January to the 1ith of Feb- ruary when you knew the Fortnightly's A FENDER HAS The San Francisco and San Mateo fenders. for use by the company is a resilient ing on your honorable board, as well | of belles did wash down | their hands | fumed water, an expectant world curi- affair took place on that evening? Why did you not attend v.heg Monday Night's last %eason, and do so this sea- son? Is there any truth in the story that in- vitations to the cotillon have ever been for sale. And a breathless world waits for the answer that will never come, for Greenway courteously but firmly re- turned the note saying there was no answer. All the facts concerning the possi- bility of purchasing social position pale into very insignificance before the astounding fact that Mrs. Salisbury once actually worked in the Mint. That statement, the fact that clever, high-bred, educated woman once earned her bread by the labor of her hands, has caused the select to shudder. In fact, it is rumored that in one home, where coffins were the plebelan source of all the luxury and splendor, the worthy matron and her two charming daughters were so shocked at the horrible revelation that they neglected to request their guests to scratch their brocaded-hung walls €0 that they might test the fine texture | of the silk. Also it is recorded in another home, where the humble stovepipe might with fitness be regarded as the family | escutcheon, that there was much moaning and sighing and unhappy tears over this most deplorable state of things. And now while evidence is being established to prove that if the mother the front have never put other than soft, per- doorsteps, the buds in ously waits for Greenway to answer those important questions. SELECTING A JURY TO TRY RAYMOND FOR MURDER. REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 17.—The work | of selecting a jury In the second Baden murder case commenced this morning. A large number of veniremen were exam- ined and excused. At the adjournment of the court this afternoon but ten men | had been chosen for jury duty. A special | venire for ten more was iesued and made returnable to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The man now on trial s C. H. Ray- mond, who is supposed to have fired the shot which killed C. A. Andrews. His accomplice, Winters, was tried here last week and found guilty of murder in tne | first degree. While the identification of Raymond I8 not 8o complete as that of Winters, yet the prosecution is almost certain of a convictio; There are some reports to the effect that Winters will take the stand and testify against Ray- mond. Should he do so, there is no pos- sible escape from a speedy conviction. - Wires a Forfeit for Choynski.

Tom O'Rourke, who is a close friend of Davies, said thera seemed to be no reason for McCoy's re- fusal to meet the Californian, now that McCoy has expressed a willingness to enter the heavy-weight class. BEEN ADOPTED. Electric Rallway Company yesterday asked the Board of Supervisors for permission to equip all its cars with The officers of the company, in making the request, have been considering the question of fenders, and after careful examina- tion of the many contrivances that have been submitted for the considera- tion of the board and of their company they concluded that the Hunter au- tomatic fender was superior to most, if not all, of them. The fender they be- lieved was essential for use in this city, owing to the severe grades over which the electric car lines run. It has a scoop fender under the car just in front of the wheels that is automatically dropped and locked to the rails. Another and important feature which induced the selection of the fender say they lath cushion attached in front of the car which takes up in a great measure the force of a blow struck by a mov- ing car, at the same time tripping the fender in front of the wheels, allow- ing it to fall and lock on the rails and preventing a body from going under the wheels. The railroad officers say in support of their request: have taken this step in the hope that we may at least succeed in impress- “We as on the public, that we desire to equip our cars with a life-saving device, and that no consideration other than merit has governed us in the se lection made.” CONVICT WAGNER GAINS FREEDOM Warden Hale of San Quentin Ordered to Release the | Prisoner. | 2357 0 | Technical Point Which Other In- mates of the Prison May Use to Their Advantage. | Spectal Dispatch to The Can. | SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Jan. I17.— | Warden Hale lost one of his striped | Buests to-day, when Rudolph Wagner, a | convict serving a sentence for burglary, managed, through a technical point, to gain his liberty. Wagner's case i3 one In whici a law point of considerable interest was In- volved, and that he was successful in gaining his freedom may encourage oth- ers in the big penitentiary to adopt stm- flar methods. Wagner applied to Superior Judge Frank M. Angellott! of Marin County for a writ of habeas corpus. It was issued, and the hearing came on to- day in San Rafael. Late this afternoon Judge Angellott! rendered his opinion, which gave to the convict his freedom. The decision, which is In writing, is, In part, as follows: On December 22, 1893, Wagner, on a plea of gullty of burglary, was adjudged to suffer one year's imprisonment in the State Prison at San Quentin. Subsequently, to-wit: On December 27, 1892, he entered a plea of gullty to a second in- formation for burglary that had been filed ainst him, and, waiving time, was there- upon sentenced to imprisonment at sald State Prison for five years, “'said term to commence from_expiration of sentence rendered Decem- ber 22, 1833, of one year.” On December 30, 159, hé was, by the Prison Directors, deprived | of all his credits. * o ® | _Petitioner’s claim is that the two sentences ran concurrently, and that he became en- titled to his discharge upon the expiration of four years' imprisonment in the State Prison, and in this contention I am satisfied that he is sustained by the statute. If both convictions had been suffered prior to the pronouncing of sentence in either case section 669, Penal Code, would have applied and the imprisonment on the second conviction made to commence at the termination of the first term. As I understand the law that sec- | tion prescribes the only case in which one | term ‘can be made to commence at the ex- piration of other terms. In all other cases | the term of imprisonment fixed by’the judg- | ment commences to run upon the delivery of the defendant at the place of imprisonment. This is the case with the second, or four- year judgment, pronounced against petitioner, and Ne, having suffered imprisonment for the full term, has satisfled the demands of the law and is entitled to his discharge. Let an order be entered accordingly. Wagner has not been a model prisoner since his confinement in San Quentin and lost all of his credits for breach of disci- pline. However, now he has his free- dom and others in the prison having double sentences to serve may secure their liberty in the same manner. INTERESTS THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST.

Burns Wanted | for Defrauding an Innkeeper. The Complaining Witness Is Mrs. Irwin of the Hotel Bradbury. Lady Proprietor of the Hotel Suther- land, Where He Is Stopping, Is Also After Him. Mrs. Tillle A. Irwin of the Hotel Bradbury swore to a complaint in Judge Low’s court yesterday afternoon \charging Byron S. Burns with defraud- ing an innkeeper. Mrs. Irwin, in stating her case, sald: | “Burns and his wife and two children | came to my hotel on July 4 last and se- | cured a suit of rooms. He represented | to me that he was connected with the Sonoma Wine Company and had re- cently come from the East. He had a | good appearance and dressed and spoke | well. As it is a rule in my house to pay in advance I asked him for money. He | made an excuse that he was then short | of funds, but would pay me very soon. “My suspicions were aroused from the fact that they had no trunks with them and after a week or g I asked him where his trunks were. He replied that owing to the crush caused by the Chris- tian Endeavorers coming to the city he supposed the trunks had got mixed up by the transfer company, but would come all right soon. Things went on for two or three months, but there was no appearance of any trunks, and he finally said they had been detained in | New Jersey. “I got altogether $30 out of him and about October 11 T told him he would have to leave by October 15, and he must pay me then $167, the balance due | me. On that day he quietly removed the few things belonging to them and was slipping away, when I met him in the hall. I demanded my money and he gave me the ‘Ha-ha.’ I have been | since trying to find him, and it was only this morning that I learned he and his wife and two children were stopping at the Hotel Sutherland, on Sutter street. “I went there and saw him, but he declined to pay me, telling me frankly that he had no funds. I asked him to give me an order on the Sonoma Wine Company, but he said he had left them some weeks ago. I ascertained that he had never beoen connected with that company at all. | “I consider him a regular hotel dead- beat and I find that he is owing the Ho- tel Sutherland $80 for board and lodg- ing. He and his family have been there since December 10 and have only pald $30." The lady proprietor of the Hotel Sutherland accompanied Mrs. Irwin to | Judge Low's court and also wanted to | sign a complaint against Burns, but as he was still living there she did not ob taln it. She corroborated what Mrs. Irwin said about Burns owing her $80, and said she would secure an attach- ment from the Justice Court for his trunk. Burns claims to be a teacher of elo- cution, but Mrs. Irwin said that she had made diligent inquiry and could not find any one who knew him or where he | taught his class. She does not believe that he has a class anywhere. RECEIVED BRASS BUT NOT GOLD. Robert Mental of the Lombard | Auction Rooms Arrested for Petty Larceny. The Police Have Been Receiving Nu- merous Complaints From Women Who Bought Jewelry There. JRobert Mental, of the Lombard auction | rooms, Market street, opposite Fifth, was | arrested yesterday afternoon on a was- rant from Judge Campbell’s court charg- | ing him with petty larceny. The complaining witness is Mrs. Demp- ster, 4011 Oak street, and she alleges that a few days ago she went Into the auction rooms to see what was going on. A lot of jewelry was put up,and a woman *‘capper” came to her and advised her to buy the lot and she would buy a portion | from her. She hesitated, and another woman ‘‘capper” whispered to her that she would buy another portion of the lot, the two making up the price asked for the supposed jewelry, which was bid up to $12. She paid $2 50 on deposit and took the jewelry away with her. Becoming suspicious, she showed the jewelry to three different jewelers, and they ail declared that it was brass in- stead of gold and not worth % cents al- together. She went to the auction rooms and demanded the return of her money, but it was refused, so she went to the Police Court and secured the warrant. The police have recelved numerous complaints recently from women who had been entrapped into buying jewelry in funded. ——————— CARMEL COAL MINE SOLD. M.
