SKINS ON FIR ith Bczema fustantly relfeved by Comicusa Rewsoiss, defendants, | £ | Both Steamers Smashed Their Forward Rudders and Aprons and Their Forward Upperworks. HE ferry-boat Piedmont got lost in the fog yesterday morning, and while Captain Jones was vainly looking for his landing place on the Oakland side he found the creek boat Garden City, and ran his vessel into her. The two steam- ers collided nearly end on and almost a panic ensued among the passengers. The rudder and forward part of each boat were completely wrecked and it will be at least a month before either will be ready for service again. In the general smash-up among the trucks and freight wagons on the lower deck of the Garden City, P. M. Partridge, a painter of Oakland, was seriously in- jured and was removed to the Harbor Receiving Hospital when the vessel reached this side. The Piedmont left San Francisco at 8 a. m., in charge of Captain Jones, and the Garden City left the foot of Broad- way, Oakland, at the same hour, in charge of Captain Fredrickson. In- stead of picking up Goat Island on his port bow Captain Jones got lost in the fog, and finally found himself south of W0 OF THE FERRY STEAMERS CRASH TOGETHER IN THE FOG. The Piedmont Lost Her Way and While Looking for the. Broad-Gauge Landing Ran Into the Garden City. From photographs by Taber. the Narraw Gauge Oakland slip. The Piedmont was put about and was mak- ing her way along the shore to the broad-gauge landing when the Garden City came out of the creek. The steam- €rs were not ten feet apart when the lookouts gave the warning, and then all that could be done was to reverse the engines, but it was too late to avert the collision. P. M. Partridge, the injured man, in talking about the matter yesterday, said that Captain Fredrickson did everything in his power to prevent a coll: From the moment the ship cleared the mouth of the creek the en- gines were slowed down to half speed and the fog-whistle was blown every minute. The second mate and four of the deckhands were on the lookout on the steamer’s bow, and the captain and first mate were in the pilot-house. No- body saw the Piedmont till she was right on top of the Garden City; then the men on the lookout threw up their hands in warning and ran for their live! “I was standing by the glass door in company with a number of others when the shock came,” said Mr. Partridge. “The sudden stopping of the vessel brought all the freight trucks forward with a rush, and we all tried to get out of their way. One man just got out of the way of a two-horse wagon in time. The next instant the pole of the wagon went crushing through the door and the horses were thrown to the deck. I got caught between two trucks and had not the handles of one of them in a measure protected me I would have been crushed as easily as an eggshell. As it is, I am bruised in every portion of my body, and while I had a very narrow escape I also had a very lucky one.” James H. Powell, who was also on the Garden City, says that the iron pin which holds the rudder in place when the steamer is being steered from the other end snapped like a pipestem, and that the rudder, apron and all the gingerbread work on the forward part of the vessel was carried away. The Piedmont also lost her forward rudder, nearly all of the forward upper works and part of her starboard paddlewheel. Each vessel was strewn with wreckage, and for a short time those on the Garden City thought the Piedmont had gone down, as she had disappeared from view. She was only lost in the fog, however, and it was lucky for the Garden City that she had stopped backing and was just begin- ning to forge ahead, or else the Pied- mont would have crashed into her the second time. Mr, Powell says the | foghorn on the Garden City kept wup | such a constant din that he had to give up trying to read his morning pa- per, and was pacing the lower deck when the collision happened. The Piedmont finally made her land- ing in the Oakland broad-gauge slip, and after discharging her passengers was laid off for repairs, the Newark taking her place. Strange to say, on her first trip toward San Francisco the latter steamer also got lost in the fog, and instead of making Market street brought up off the foot of Spear street. | Then her captain brought her up along the front and made three unsuc- cessful attempts before the vessel was finally got into her slip. The Garden City came on to §an Francisco, and after discharging er passengers was taken over to Oak- land, where she was laid up alongside of the Piedmont. The work of repair- ing the boats will be begun at once, but it will be some tlme before either | of them is ready for gervice again, and in the meantime the traveling public will have to put up with a good deal of crowding on smaller boats.

C. Vanier, a salesman, who was arrested some months ago on complaint of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for brutally beat- ing his little girl, is again under ar- rest, the sufferer on this occasion from his violence being his wife, a delicate looking little woman. On the previous occasion there was no doubt as to the cruelty to the child as her body bore striking evidence of ity dodge and to all questions as to why he beat the child so brutally, he replied, “The Lord told me to do i He was arraigned before Judge Low, but_the Judge deemed it advisable to send him before the Insanity Commis- sioners. The commissioners did not think him insane enough to be sent to an asylum, and he had to stand trial in the Pclice Court. He demanded a jury trial, and so conducted himself in court that the jury, after two hours’ deliberation, brought in a verdict of nct guilty on the ground that he was not exactly responsible for his ac- tions. Vanier placed all the blame for his srrest upon his wife, and since then he has been abusing and beating her until yesterday she could stand it no longer, as she was afraid of her life, so she complained to Colonel Parnell of the society, who conducted the previous | case against her husband. She was | | sent to friends in Oakland to get her | | out of his way, and as the colcnel re- ceived a telephone message from the neighbors that Vanier was acting in a very violent manner he went to Chief Lees and asked the assistance of two policemen in arresting him. | Policemen P. Coleman and McAuliff | | were detailed to help the colonel, and | when they reached the house in the rear of 1113 Jcnes street they found Va- | nier storming around the place. He | subsided when he saw the two officers | | and waited quietly at the patrol box | | untib the wagon arrived to take him to | | the City Prison, where he was charged | | with baitery upon his wife, the com- | | plaining witness being the colbnel, who b | says that Mrs. Vanier's body is cov- | ered with black and blue marks from | the beatings she has received from her | husband. | | The two children are being cared for | [by the neighbors. After his experi- | ence in the Police Court Vanier care- fully refrained from venting his rage upon them. —————— | New Alaska Company. ] Articles of incorporation of the Coffea | City Deveclopment Company were filed vesterday.

The Coroner’s jury inquiring into th: cause of the death of Robert Johnson, a sailor who was found in bed with a re- volver bullet through his liver and a pis- tol on a table beside him, returned a ver- dict yesterday to the effect that the wound was inflicted by a party or parties unknown. Coroner Hawkins refused to sign the verdict for the reason that two of the witnesses had sworn that when pital whether he shot himself he nodded in_the affirmative. . In the case of Luke McDonald, who jumped off the steamer Encinal and was drowned, the verdict was suicide while insane. The jury charged Charles Weathers | with the murder of Nathan Phillips, whom ‘Weathers #hot in the Empire dive a few days ago. In the case of Baldwin Gardiner the jury returned a verdict to the effect that person _unknown to the jury. = Patrol | Driver Murphy testified that Le fired over could not have struck Gardiner because he was not in a line with it. ~ SHOT T0 KILL have prepared the or- | the fact, but Vanier played the insan- John Gorman Fires Five Shots | | at William Black, His | Brother-in-Law. | The Latter First Attacked Him With | a Knife and He Retaliated With | a Revolver. | John Gorman, a Grant-avenue saloon- keeper, fired five shots last night at Wil- liam Black, his brother-in-law. Three of the bullets took effect, one striking the | man in the left arm, another taking off the lower portion of the right ear and the third striking him in the chin, making a superficial wound. The shooting occurred at 2219 Mission street. According to Black's story he went to the house where the shooting took place | to look for his wife, who had threatened to desert him. As he entered he was met by Gorman, who started to eject him. Black drew a knife and ordered Gorman to let him pass. Just then the latter opened fire on his adversary, and as he fell Gorman continued shooting at him. Gorman was arrested immediately and locked up at the Seventeenth-street Sta- tion on a charge of assault to commit murder. About a year ago Black got into trouble with a relative named Morrison over his wife and fired two shots at him, one of which took effect in the right arm. The knife which Black attempted to use on Gorman was found a few feet away from the scene of the shooting. —_—— Oriental Rugs.

A few months ago one was caught operating among the congregation of the First Congregational Church, and yesterday two were discovered working the mourners at a funeral. The services over the remains of the | late John Raddich, who was Kkilled by the cars in Oakland, were held yester- day afternoon in St. Brendan's Church on Fremont and Harrison streets, A large number of friends of the deceased attended the services, and as they came out of the church two well-known pick- pockets, Thomas Cecstigan and Frank Smith, got among the people. Costi- gan carried an overcoat over his arm and he was observed by some hackmen to insert his hand into the pockets of several people under cover of the over- coat. The cry of “Look out for your pockets” was raised and the hackmen made a rush upon Costigan and Smith. They were being handled rather roughly by the hackmen when Police- man Bakulich, who was attending the funeral, made his appearance and the | two pickpockets were placed under ar- rest. John O. Kane, proprietor of a | livery stable near the church, and Wil- | | liam Happ, 2226 Fifteenth street, told ‘Bakulich that they saw Costigan’s | hand in the pockets of several people and that they would appear as wit- nesses against them in court. Several hackmen will also appear against them. They were taken to the City Prison and a charge of attempt at grand larceny was booked against them. Costigan is credited by the police with being one of the cleverest pick- pockets in the city. February 1 last year he and Smith were arrested for stealing a diamond pin from Frank Phillips, a horseman, while on an elec- tric car coming from the Ingleside race track. They were handed over to an officer at Twenty-ninth and Mission streets, and when searched the pin could not be found. Costigan had it in his mouth, and while he diverted the officer's attention for a moment he passed the pin to a friend who gave it to Phillips with the request that he should not appear against the two de- fendants. Phillips, however, appeared in the Pclice Court and Costigan and Smith were held to answer before the Superior Court. They Were tried in Judge Dunne’s court, but as Phillips had gone East there was not sufficient Johnson was asked at the Receiving Hos. | 1 1€y Were Observed by Some evidence to convict and they were ac- quitted. e e . An Inventor’s Suicide. Max Pauly, wnose true name is be- lieved to be Robert James Bley was found dead in his room at 1005% Minna street yesterday forenoon with a bullet through his heart. Near the body was a revolver with one chamber _discharged. The deceased was born in Germany in 1857 and was employed as a machinist in the Union Iron ‘.orks. He left behind | him a large number of models for an air ship but they are of no value whatever. Some writing whicn he left behind in German, purporting to be a history of his life_and glving his name as Robert James Bley, show that he was he vic- tim of a hallucination and that he must have been insane at the time ne took his e. e Another Figel Juror. Donald McDonald was accepted yvester- day as the tenth juror to try the case against Theodore Figel. M. Getz, H, Els- bach, A. Meyer, Frederick Stermer, W. P. Gerlach, John Schatter, D. A, Hulse, George A. Manton, Joseph Kahn, John McDonald and G. L. Page were exam- ined yesterday and excused for various reasons. Fifty talesmen have been sum- moned to appear in court to-day and it is thought that out of this number the jury can be completed. * ADVERTISEMENTS.

FAIR WINDS FAVOR SHIPS Fleet Which Has Been Outside for a Week Making Port. Sailing of the Steamer Coptic With a Large Consign- ment of Cotton. Another Vessel Fitting Out to Take Gold Hunters to Kotzebue Sound. The big fleet which has been outside for the past week got a slant of fair wind yesterday and nearly all of the vessels got in. Among them was the British ship Kate Thomas from Sydney. When out a short time she got caught in a hur- ricane and was so badly damaged the captain had to put back for repairs. The British bark La Escocesa, from the nitrate ports; the barkentine Irm- gard, from Honolulu, and the British ship Hutton Hall, from Antwerp, all made long passages, and their captains ‘were more than glad to make the Gold- en Gate. Quite a number of coal laden ships are outside, and their agents ex- pect them all to make port to-day if the wind keeps in the right quarter. The fog on the bay yesterday kept the bells on every ship in the stream going for a couple of hours in the morning. Leaving Sausalito and Tib- uron on the first trip the captains of the Sausatlito and Tiburon found the fog thick enough to cut until Alcatraz Island was reached, when the fog lifted and it was clear until the slip on this side was reached. Then the vapor spread, and on the next trip the fog whistles had to be kept going from slip to slip. The Occidental and Oriental Com- pany’s steamer Coptic got away for Japan and China yesterday. She took a large and yaluable consignment of cotton for the Japanese mills, and a big lot of nails as ballast, but her general cargo was light. Still another vessel is being fitted out for Kotzebue Sound. The barkentine Leslie D (formerly the old whaling bark Herriman) is being fitted out by a party of, prospectors and will sail | next spring. There are about a dozen men in the party, and no outsiders will be taken along. ADVERTISEMENTS. Kl NDIKE THING D:AWSON CITY, ‘ Nov. 13, '97.
