N L PR Yesterds I A NOR'WESTER AN THE COAST The Pilot-Boats America and Gracie S Caught in It. Men Wanted for the Coast De- fenders Fearless, Vigilant and Active. Trouble Between the Crew of the Collier Lucille and ths Sea- men's Union. A very heavy northwest storm has been raging up the coast for the last forty- eight hours, and the- captains. of -the | coasters now due are sure to have some hard-luck stories to tell when they reach | port. Thursday night it blew over seventy miles an hour at Point Reyes, while at Fort Ross the seas were running moun- tains high. A private dispatch from that point says that it'is many a day since such a terrific sea has been seen off that point. ¢ * At Point Reyes yesterday morning it was still blowing fifty-eight miles an hour, but at noon it had subsided to | forty-five miles an hour. During the | night the pilot-boats America and Gracie | S caught it. A heavy sea swept the| America and carried the yawl overboard. Some other minor damage was doneabout the deck, but no one was hurt. Outside of a most uncomfortable night the pilots on the Gracie S did not suffer. The bark Alaska got away for Kotze- bue Sound yesterday morning with 110 | gold hunters aboard. She must have got| a full share of the storm, and the for-} tune seekers must have had a hard time of it. The majority of the men had never been to sea before, so when the bark be- gan to plunge into a nasty cross sea their condition can be imagined. The ship Lucille got away for Seattle yesterday after a brush with the walk- ing delegate of the Coast Seamen’s Union, The men all belonged to the union, and | shipped for $3 a month, or $ more than | the Ship-Owners’ Association is paying | 1 in coal ship Just before the Lu- ailed the walking delegate put in | an appearance and said the men had to strike for $40 a month.

By the time he gets back the Australia will be ready to resume her old run to Honolulu, and Mr. Seely will resume his old position as chief stew- ard. There was a surfeit of lively scenes on Pacific street wharf yesterday. W, Daley, freight clerk on the wharf, rescued a Spaniard from drowning; Charles Olsen, the boss stevedore, put out a fire that at one time threatened to burn down the shed, and T. McCombe, purser of the Zealandia, stopped a runaway team. The Spanish bo: ped overboard to earn 50 cents b: & hat. His suspenders | broke while as diving and his panta- loons tell down until his legs got en- tangled in them and he could not swim. | It was at this juncture that Daley gal- lantly went to the rescue and kept the | drowning boy’s head above water until E ance came. Some one dropped a lighted match be- tween the boards on the sidewalk on East street, and the strong breeze soon quick- ened the dry timbers into a blaze. Olsen came along in the nick of time and or-| ganizing a bucket brigade soon had the | fire out. The draught was beginning to | carry the flames under the wharf, and a few minutes later a big fire might have been raging. iree one of the delivery ns on Pacific street wharf took fright | mer whistle and began to run ay. The team was headed right for group of women, and some of them ;:'nuld surely have been hurt had not Mr. “ombe grabbed the near horse by the head and hung on to him until the wagon came to a stop by coiliding with a heap of freight.

Mrs. on “The Secularization of the Mother,” and it was in this sketch that the lady | condemned the new woman; who belongs | to many clubs. She said in part: “The trend of society of the present day is to overwhelm the mother and dis- qualify her for the discharge of her home | duties. But wisely used it makes her bring brightness to the home.” Mrs. Stebbins dwelt particularly on the | effect of bad society as being corruptive | of the home. ‘ihe woman,” she said, “should use society, not be used by it. The club life is fascinating, but is exposed | to excessiveness. A club woman cannot a wise and loving spirit of the house- hold. The duty of woman is to give the best of her life with authority of love to those in her home.". | The remarks of Mrs. Stebbins were greeted with applause, her audience agreeing with her at every point. The “%ngflnlsm of the Young” was an- other excellent paper delivered by Rev. S. P. Carr. Discussion followed by Mrs. W. O. Henn, Mrs. B. F. Giddings and Miss Eva Carlin, Mrs. Carr said: “I admit that the spiritual is lacking in youth. They see the beauty of the flower, but not the beauty of that which is behind it. Im- portant example is set the younger peo- ple by their elders, and they are only |- too glad to miss church when the elders Mrs. Henn of Alameda followed Mrs. Carr's talk. “The paganism of the coung,” said she, “is inevitable, but I do | not believe unremediable.

All His Sails Tore Loose and Paint Pots Rained on Deck When He Went Aloft. Stillman Stover, first mate of the American brigantine Harriet G, was | placed on examination yesterday before | United States Commissioner Heacock on | two charges of beating and wounding sea-~ men on the high seas during the recent voyage of the Harriet G from New York | to this port. The complainants were Albert Mattson and Ole Anderson Seilevold. Ole Ander- son told the Commissioner how Stover had knocked him down and kicked him. He produced Dr. Wise of the Marine Hos- pital to testify that he was still suffer- ing from an injury. Albert Mattson was influenced by a voodoo during the voyage, if his story is to be believed. If he fastened a sail it was sure to become loose and flap de- fiantly in the gale, and when ordered to do something on the port side of the ship he invariably went to the starboard. It was_his ill luck also that whenever he made a blunder of that kind Mate Stover was sure to be around and pro- fane. About February 23 this year Mattson reefed the jib, but he had no sooner left the job than the jib broke loose and fluttered gaily in the breeze. The ship was tacking at the time, and the mate became angry and called him “a big Dutch fool.” ~ He gave Mattson another order and the sailor went to the wrong side of the ship, whereupon he was fol- lowed and thumped by the mate on the jaw and the back of the neck, and was E(ickml two consecuiive times. The mate in making another kiek slipped and fell on the flat of his back and Mattson fell on top of him. Mattson would have diea of fright if members of the crew had not lifted him to his feet again, On St. Patrick’s day the voodooed sailor made his worst blunder. He was aloft painting, and the pot of paint slipped from his hand and fell from the royal yard to the deck, striking within a few feet of the mate and bespattering his sou'wester. Then, when Mattson came down to get the pot and scrape the deck, the mate struck him a right hapder in the left temple, knocking him senseless. Mattson denied that he had drawh his knife on the mate, but admitted that the mate took the knife away from him. Other witnesses corroborated the-stories told by the two sailors. Stover flatly denied having struck or kicked Anderson or Mattson. All that he would admit was that he might have shoved them out of the way or sworn at_them. The examination was continued until next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at which hour the captain of the brigantine will give his testimony. Mattson filed a libel {esterday against the brig for $69 60, the balance of w claimed by him. He admits having de- serted the ship at this port, but says he was _forced to leayve by reason of the cruelty of Mate Stover. gt Ui R e il Pattern-Makers’ Ball.

DEPUTIES MADE HAPPY. Only Four Démands of the County ‘ Clerk’s Employes to Be Held Out for the Test Case. At the conference between the Auditor, the Mayor and the County Clerk, held yesterday in the office of Auditor Broder- ick on the matter of the warrants of deputy county clerks it was decided to hold out only four demands to serve in the test case now before the Supreme Court as to the legality of the employ- ment of more than thirty-two deputies by the County Clerk. Auditor Broderick held out forty-five of ) the eighty-four demands last month, and will now sign all of these except four. He will also hold out four from the April de- mands. It was left to the employes in the Coun- ty Clerk's office to select the four men whose demands were to be used in the test case. —_—— GOT MAGUIRE'S MONEY. Wells, Fargo—é: Co.’s Detectives Hunting for “John Doe.” Detective Hume of Wells, Fargo & Co. is hunting for ‘John Doe,” who is wanted on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. The warrant was obtained in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday morning. It appears that on March 9 a letter was sent from Forest Hill, Placer 'County, containing a money order for $40 to John Maguire, who was then living at 607 Mar- ket street. Maguire did not recefve the letter, and on making inquiry ascertainea that the order had been cashed at Wells, Fargo & Co's office to a man who rep- resented himself as Maguire. How he had got possession of the letter is still a mystery. The $40 had again to be paid to Maguire, and the company now want to punish the false Maguire, at present known as “John Doe.” PUGILISTS SHOULD BE EXAMINED The Death of “Bull” McCarthy a Warning to Fight Promoters. National Club Fighters in Superb Condition—A Large Ad- vance Sale. The death of “Bull McCarthy, the pugilist who succumbed shortly after his twenty-round bout with “Young"” Griffo in Sacramento on Wednesday evening, and the arrest of the Australian, were the in sporting circles yesterday, and for the time being the ever-recurring discussion over the probable outcome of wie fistic argument between *‘Bailor” Sharkey and the Los Angeles giant was dropped. It was the universal opinion that Griffo could not deliver a blow hard enough to cause death and that the Sacramento Athletic place, was hLighly negligent in not hav- ing a proper examination made of the principals before they entered the ring. “It has always been our practice,” said Manager Groom of the National Club yesterday, “to have the contestants un- dergo a thorough physical examination before beginning hostilities. The resul has been that the ~Nauonal Ciub ha never had a casualty. We have pulled past two years than any other organiz ton, because we have selected the par- ticipants with care and had our ph: _siclan keep a watchful eye on their phy- sical conaition. Had the Sacrameuato Club done this the death of McCarthy would not have resulted. 1 regret ex- ceedingly the outcome of the bout, be- cause 1t gives a black eye to pugilism. “‘Our physician, Dr. D. D. Lustig, will shortly pay a visit to tne training quar- ters or Sharkey, Baker, Stelzner and Jef- fries, and will thoroughly examine the men. 1f he reports to us that any of the men_are unfit they will not appear under the National Club auspices. but 1 antici- pate no such report, as from what 1 hear the men are ready to fight the battle of their lives. In my opinion the winner of the Sharkey-Jeffries go will be the cham- pion of the world. Both men have met the top-notchers and have made excellent showing. Baker, who is to meet Stelzner, is in better condition to-day ..an he has been since his arrival on the coast, and can be reiied on to give Stelzner a warm recep- tion. In the East Baker enjoyed a good reputation as a scrapper, but since his visit here he has not devoted much time to keeping in condition, caring more for a | sporting life, Baker has now seen the | foolishness of such a plan and has sto] ped drinking and is training with avidit, knowing that if he defeats Stelzner his chances for_future engagements will be better. He has been heard to say that if | he had been in as fine fettle when he met Jeffries there might have been another man training to meet Sharkey. Baker has been in both camps and sparred with both men, and the knowledge he gained leads him to pick Sharkey as the winner of the coming fight. o The seatingarrangements in Mechanics Pavilion on the night of the contest will | be better than at previouscontests. Every ticket-holder will be assured of an unob- structed view of the arena, and there will be no crowding. Captain Curtin will have fifty men under him to regulate the crowd and perfect order will be main- tained during the progress of the fight. The advance sale of tickets is very large, and Mr. Groom predicts that a larger crowd than that which witnessed the Corbett-Sharkey and Fitzsimmons-Shar- key goes will be present.
