Diver Keefe Thinks He Has Found the City of Chester. Nine Well Known British Ships Have Passed Under the German Fiag. Arrival of “King” Greig of Fanning Island on Another Visit to This City. What are supposed to be the remains of the steamer City of Chester have been located off Black Point. There is only fifteen feet of water over them at low tide, and in order to prevent a possible accident they should be buoyed. The en- gines and boilers stand on end, and a dozen jagged ends stick up out of the mass. A vessel striking on one of them would be Instantly -plerced, and would probably sink before she could be beached. Some time ago the barkentine J. M. Griffiths arrived from Port Hadlock and anchored off Meiggs wharf. During the northwester she lost her anchor and sev- eral attempts have been made to recover it, but they all falled. The next vessel to lose an anchor in the same vicinity was the barkentine Ruth, which came in from Honolulu with a load of sugar. For several days past men have been dragginrs for both these mud hooks, and yesterday one of them was located. A diver named Keefe grappled it with a four-inch line, but whenever the tug Redmond began to haul on it the grapping iron slipped. Keefe put on his suit and went down | only to find that instead of an anchor he had located an immense mass of iron.

It is seldom that the big events prove as exciting as the eight-round go be- tween Billy Otts of the Excelsior Club and Hughey Dougherty of Chicago. For tators were treated to a scientific, declared winner by Referee Lawler, he was worshiped. Although inexperienced in ring gen- eralship Otts proved himself a clever and willing fighter, while Dougherty’s ability to swallow punishment won the admiration of everybody. With his left optic completely closed, bleeding from nose and mouth, the gritty representa- tive of the Windy City stayed with his cléverer opponent returning blow for blow, landing some, but missing many.

Ferris Hartman, commonly known as the “San Francisco comedian,” appear- ed at and blocked up the doorway of the sleeper in which he and his new company have traveled all the way from New York to present for the first time In America his new play, “The Purser.” Mr. Hartman has been expected for several days, so when George Bowles, his partner and manager, yesterday re- ceived a telegram from the laughter provoking Ferris, telling him he (Hart- man) would arrive in the city last night, he was prepared to greet him in the proper manner. Bowles went up to Sacramento and there, with several others, awaited the coming guest, who arrived, for once in his life, on time. This promptitude somewhat disconcert- ed Teddy’s frlends, who, knowing him of old, were at a loss to account for a proceeding so unlike his real self, and refused to dismiss their anxlety until Hartman had explained that, as he had not fallen off the train, he could not help himself. This explanation proved satisfactory and the entire party en- tered the car and proceeded to ex- change congratulations and other com- pliments as the train continued toward the city, picking up a stray friend or two at every station, until Sixteenth street was reached, where so many of the old Lasker crowd had gathered to give the glad hand to their old run- ning mate that the sleeper would nov accommodate them all and several of them had to content themselves with a handshake and the company of Hart- man’s dog, Snyder, in the baggage car, until the ferry was reached. Hartman's new play, in which he will open as the star at the Baldwin a week from next Monday night, is called “The Purser,” and had a tremendous run in England, where it was written by John T. Day, a clever and wealthy newspaper man of London. It is a high- class comedy, and tells of the trials and tribulations of a purser on the good ship Kangaroo, running on the P. and O. line from London to Australla, re- sultant on too many matrimonial ven- tures And love entanglements. It is said by all the critics who have seen it to be a bright, catchy piece replete with humorous situations and sparkling dla- logues, It was 50 well thought of by such com- petent judges as the Frohmans, Al Camby and Sam Fruedenberg that they moved heaven and earth to get it, and see the point looked politely interested, and those who did looked bored. I could’t blame them for that. You know what Leary is. “Yes, I have acquired an accent, but I keep it for charity entertainments when I'm liable to meet society. If I used it with the boys along the line the crowd would mob me. This cap I have on is the same one I wore at Carson, but I have the real thing in silk, with great white wings on either side, in my trunk and will --ear it on Saturday afternoons - when the sun is shining. Have you seen my box coat? Of course not, but come up to my room to-morrow and I will show it to you. I am afraid to wear it on the street because the shoulders are padded and I look so much like afrald some one will insist on giving me a $10,000 purse which I don’t de- serve. “‘Seriously speaking, though I have only been away nine months, I am mighty glad to get home. I have a first- class play and a good company and I have come all the way from England, over 6000 miles, to open in the city where I have received so much kind- ness and where I consider I am at home. I would like to make a success anywhere as an actor, but, aside from professional pride. I want to succeed here and I am surs, vith the show I have and the peopid who are in it, I can’t fall. I wanted to open here for two reasons, first, because as I have sald, it is my home, and secondly, be- cause the people of this city know what a good play is when they see it, and if a piece goes her it will go anywhere. The critical taste of.San Francisco is a thing recoenizel by the entire pro- fession and the stamp of approval once won here carries much weight in other places.” —————————— Row in the Orpheum Annex. W. A. Wheeler, a painter, had some trouble in the Orpheum Annex Thursday night. and returned with a baseball bat to clean out the place shortly after mid night. The waiters did not “‘do.a thing”" to him, and after he had been thrown out Policemen Fennell and Sylvester ar- rested him. He was first taken to the Recelving Hospital, where three ‘wounds in his scalp were stitched and dressed and then to the City Prison, wherd charges of disturbing ‘the peace, using vuigar language and battery were booked against nim. The cases were called in Juuge Low’s court yesterday morning and continued. Wheeler was released on his own recognizance by the Judge. “THE RED FRONT,” 87-859 Market street, sells “STANDARD" shirts, - Sharkey in i: that 1 am | | Among the various statements which | the sergeant secured was one signed by | | John E.

As Port Angeles is the first port of entry in Washington, the chances are that the warship will make her headquarters there until the trouble with Spain is over. A LIBRARY FOR SALE. The 0dd Fellows’ Collection to Be Sold Before/the 1st of June. The Odd Fellows’ library, containing 45,000 volumes, is now being disposed of at private sale, and by the 1st of next June the entire collection will be taken from the shelves upon which they rested s0 long. 5 The library is the oldest on the Pacific Coast and was established by the Odd Fellows in 1855. ... that time there were few reading rooms in the city, and such as existed were very unsatisfactory. To provide for a suitable library, about $500 was appropriated for the purpose, and in a short time the library numbered 500 books. The experiment met with favor, and in 1860 the library, by means of donations and purchases, had nearly 5000 volumes. . Since that time the library has grown steadily, so that two weeks ago, when it was closed forever, in the neighborhood of 45,000 books lined the walls. 3 % The_library, while complete in every branch of literature, is especially rich in its collection of early vovages and writ- ings concerning New Spain, Mexico, Cali- fornia and the Pacific Coast generally. Many of these books 4re exceedingly rare and some of them are to be bought no- Wwhere else. The Free Public Library has thus far been the hen{lest purchaser. During the pust two weeks it has secured §2000 worth of valuable reference works. Outside of the heavy purchases made by the city very few sales of any import- ance have so far been made. —_———— Boycott on Disreputable Houses.
