16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TH SDAY AUGUST 18, 1895 DEATH WAS AT THE HELM OF AN EXCURSION YACHT: Mrs. Paxton Drowned in the Waters of the Bay. LAUNCH WAS SUNK IN A COLLISION BOARD WERE SAVED BUT HER. ALL ON Her Dress Caught in the Machinery and She Is Supposed to Have Gone Down With the Boat. The new launch of the United States transport Scandia while out on a pleas- pre trip yesterday morning was run down and sunk by the United States quartermasters steamer General Mc- Dowell. There were ten people aboard the launch and of these Mrs. Charles E. Paxton, wife of the well-known min- ing man and steck broker, was drowned. The launch was towed down from Mare Island last Monday by the navy yard tug Unadilla. Monday afternoon she W taken out for her trial trip and a number of ladies who saw the hand- some little boat from the deck of the Scandia expressed a wish to go on a trip around the bay in her. Captain Nat T. Messer, who represents the quartermaster on the troopship, at once agreed to take them out and yesterday morning was fixed upon for the excur- sion. ‘When the launch started out on the trip there were aboard: Mrs. Charles E. Paxton, Mrs. Douglas S. Cone, Mrs. Margaret A. Peterson, N. Thayer Mes- r Jr., Captain Frank W. Hart of the Scandia, Third Officer H. A. Thompson, Quartermasters O. Jones and S. Lu- brano, Assistant Engineer Don Hillman and Fireman John Daly, all of the troopship. The General McDowell had been on a special trip to Alcatraz to pump water into the reservoir and was in charge of First Mate Peter Grimm, as Captain John J. Stofen was on leav: Only one two soldiers from the island were board besides the cri and the vessel was under a full head of steam making for her berth at Clay-street wharf. The McDowell is a notoriously hard vessel . to handle particularly while backing, and in consequence it has al- ways been the custom to run her along the wharves so as to make a short turn into her slip. Consequently the launch | was sunk midw etween the Jackson and Pacific street wharves, and not fifty yards from the end of either. The stories of the disaster agree in the main and it will rest with the Unit- ed States Inspectors of Hulls and Boll- ers to fix the blame. As the launch started out of the slip Third Officer Thompson, as is customary, blew a long whistle to notify vessels on the outside that he was coming. Mate Grimm, on the McDowell, heard the signal and replied with one whistle, signifying that he was about to make a landing and ADVERTISEMENTS. MRS. C. E. PAXTON, a Tragic Yachting Excursion. Whose Death Ended would pass to starboard, that is go in-| side close to the wharves. | The men on the launch answered the McDowell with one whistle, which Mate Grimm took to mean I will cross your bows,” and then came the tragedy. The men in the launch were powerless to | do anything. The women stood up in the boat amed, wrung their hands and cried: “They’ll sink us! She’ll sink us!" | Mate Grimm came out of the pilot house on the McDowell and called: “For God’s sake, go ahead on her.” | Corporal J. E. Lindsey of Company A, Sixth Infantry, stood up in the bow of the McDowell and yelled: “Throw your women overboard. | Damn you! Throw them over. It's the only way you can save them.” | Still the McDowell bore steadily down | stern first. on the fated launch. Her engines were and the ladies, Mr. Messer and myself | were sitting in the stern. 1 explained | the whistles to Mr. Thompson before | we started so he knew what he was about. When the launch was well un- der way we blew one long blast to np- tify anybody outside the slip that we were coming. Passing out between Broadway and Pacific street wharves | we ran close to the latter and turned | down the bay intending to run as far as the Union Iron Works. The Mc- Dowell was coming along behind us at | a good clip and blew one whistle, which | we answered. Instead of going to star- | board, however, she came right after us and struck the stern of the launch on the port quarter and turned her | over. She remained in that position until she filled and then-she went down ‘ Had the McDowell held to the course she signaled there would wite was a good swimmer and would have escaped had she not been entan- gled in the boat. In fact, Mr. Messer dived after her and says he !hinks" he felt her under the hull of the boat. Mrs. Paxton was a Miss Florence Lewis and about 30 years of age. Her mother, Mrs. Dr. Emily A. Lewis, lives at 2115 Webster street. Another sis- ter who was in the accident is the wife of the well-known Red Bluff banker. Her brother, Frank Lewis, is a clerk in her husband’s office. The deceased was an intimate friend of the late Mrs. James L. Flood and it seems a strange coincidence that her death should fol- low so quickly upon that of her friend. The Paxtons and the Messers were also great friends and it was this friendship which caused the former to leave their home at 2211 Washington street and take rooms_at -the Hotel Bella Vista, where the Messers reside. Mrs. Paxton was a beautiful woman and had a host of friends in this city. Soon_ after the accident a number of boats began grappling for the sunken launch. She was soon located and a skiff was anchored over the spot. At 6:50 p. m., slack water, a diver was sent down and in ten minutes he had a rope fastened around the sunken launch. The line was then made fast to the winch on the scow from which the diver went down and the small boat was soon off the mud. Both scow and submerged launch were then taken in tow and placed alongside the Scandia. The steamer’s powerful steam winches were soon put to work and the launch hoisted aboard. There was no trace of the body of Mrs. Paxton in the wreck and the gen- eral impression is that it was washed out by the tide and carrfed away. Just off Pacific and Jackson street wharves and in fact all along the front the cur- rent runs like a mill race and the chances are that the body will be car- ried away down to the Presidio and maybe out to sea. THE OWL BLINKED A JOVIAL GREETING BOHEMIANS ENTERTAIN THEIR LADY FRIENDS. Sketches, Cartoons and Photos Rem- iniscent of the recent Summer Jinks Are Much Admired. ‘The owl blinked its kindest greetings to the lady friends of the Bohemian Club members yesterday afternoon, and the gallant Bohemians themselves called to their ald with most giorious results all the arts that make entertaining a success. Encouraged by the great favor with which their afternoon receptions have been recéived and the unusual apprecia- tion shown at yesterday’'s entertainment it is more than probable that these gath- erings will become a permanent part of the Institution of the hospitable Bohe- mians. | There was about yesterday’s reception | a delightful lack of formality that lent to the affair a most enjoyable atmosphere. If there is one thing dear to the femi- nine heart it is to wander at will through | the sacred precincts of a gentlemen's elub, and that rrerogative the ladles were allowed to enjoy to the full. No door was closed against them. Portals stood wide open and the-invitation to enter, enjoy and examine was not neglected. Most of the crowd made its headquar- HE FEARED THE POLICE TRIBUNAL Suicide of Officer Tom Langford. SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD THOUGHT HE WAS TO BE DIS- GRACED. Tragic Ending of One of the Most Popular Members of the Police Depart- ment. Financial trouble and the fear that he would be brought before the Police | Commissioners impelled Officer Tom | Langford to commit suicide last even- | ing by shooting himself in the head. The deed was done at his residence, 2927 Octavia street. Langford returned home shortly after 6 o'clock and was met by his 8-year-old daughter. Picking her up in his arms he passionately kissed her and then en- tered the house. His wife was engaged in preparing the evening meal, and after addressing her he sat down in the dining-room. - A few minutes later a shot rang out. Mrs. Langford rushed into the dining-room, and seated in a chair sat her husband, with a bullet- hole in his head. On the floor, within a few feet of the chair, was the revolver with which the deed was done. Police Officer Carroll was passing at the time, and, rushing into the house, he found Mrs. Langford standing over her husband, vainly attempting to stanch the flow of blood. She was cry- ing_pitifully, frequently discontinuing | her efforts to stop the flow of blood to | kiss the colorless face of her dying hus- band. Carroll, realizing that Langford was mortally wounded, at once sum- down he took out the revolver to ex- amine it, and while doing so it was ac- cidentally discharged, the bullet taking effect in the head. An examination of the wound by the surgeons at the hospital showed that the bullet had entered the right side of the head, passed throueh the brain and lodged over the left eve. Some years ago the father of Lang- ford shot himself in a similar manner. He was a sergeant of police, and, be- coming despondent, he decided to end his existence. On the table in the room in which the despondent officer. shot himself was a letter, which he evidently had been reading. It was written in a pencil and read as follows: Dear Lou: I don’t know that I am helping you out any, but will ask you if you were around Pine and Montgomery streets the day you lost your glasses. I just heard a young lady say that she found a pair of gold glasses on Pine and Montgomery streets about - three weeks ago. She £0ld them to a man whose name I do not know.

Loos as chairman of the road racing and records committee of the as- | sociation. The position was left vacant | by the resignation of Chester S. Myrick & fortnight ago. While the appointment meets with gen- eral favor, owing to Mr. Loos’ well known ability in an executive position, it was | thought by many that President Adams | would advance one of the other members tives of Langford are at a loss to know. | Their only explanation is that he | picked up’ the letter while patrolling | his beat and started to read it after he had reached his home. | The unfortunate man passed away | shortly after 8 o'clock, surrounded by his wife and several fellow policemen. Langford had been connected with the police force for about six years and was held in high esteem by his superior of- ficers. Yesterday afternoon he called on Chief Lees and asked him if it were | true that Cunningham intended to pre- | fer charges against him. The chief told him not to. worry until the charges were preferred.

N THE SCANDIA'S LAUN~GHV WERE SENT STRUGGLING IN- THE WATER BY A going full speed astern, and Chief En- gineer Henry Christiansen was using every ounce of steam the boilers could carry, but without avail. The momen- | tum on the dispatch boat was too great and as she swung, while backing, her | bow struck the launch on the star-| board quarter and turned her over on her side. The launch then ranged along the side of the McDowell until the lat- | ter's engines were stopped, Mate Grimm | fearing that some of the unfortunates | who were struggling in the water might | get caught.in the screw. Half a dozen whitehall boats were soon on the scene and all the unfortu- | nates, save one, were picked up.. Luck- ily the launch had not been fitted with an awning. Had the covering been in place not a soul would have been saved. “ The awning would have closed over the | men and women and they would have | gone down with the launch. The only ones injured were Mrs. Cone and John Daly, the fireman. Mrs. Cone was rescued by Captain Hart. She | went down twice before he could catch | her and then he had a hard struggle to get her back to the launch. Once there the only thing for her to hold on to was a hot steam pipe. It was a question of hahging on to It or drown- ing and Mrs. Cone held on until her hands were blistered. In the meantime Captain Hart started out to rescue Mrs. Peterson, but she was picked up by W. Walford, the boatman, who was out in his whitehall. Daly was thrown against the boller and was badly burned by the escaping steam. Mrs. Peterson had a narrow escape. She was going down for the last time when Quartermaster Lubrano, who was hanging on t. the overturned launch, held out his foot to her. Luckily she caught hold of it and kept afloat with Lubrano’s assistance until help came. No one saw Mrs. Paxton after' the Mc- Dowell struck the launch and the sup- position is that her dress. was caught in the machinery and she was taken down with the boat. % Boatman W-'-ord picked .up Mrs. Peterson, Nat T. Messer Jr.,” Third Of- ficer Thompson and- Quartermasters Jones and Lubrano. - The State tug Governor Irwin picked up Fireman Daly and a-whitehall frqm Vallejo-street wharf saved Captain Hart, Engineer Hillman and Mrs.-Cone. Both the ladies were very hysterical and could tell nothing about the acci- dent. They remembered being ‘horri- bly frightened” when the McDowell came rushing down on them and then they were struggling in the water, after which all was a blank until they were safe in a rowboat.

After changing their clothes none of the men were nnytmfle the worse for their ducking. In ta:xing about the tragedy Captain Hart sald: ‘“Mate have been no collision and no tragedy.” | Mate Grimm’s story is in a measure the same as Captain Hart’s, but he | says the Scandia blew the first whistle and he answered it. | “I was on my way back. from Alca- | traz, where we had been pumping wa- | ter,”” sald he. “When nearing Pacific street I heard the launch blow one long whistle. Then as she was leaving the slip she saw me and blew a short | whistle. This meant Tll .cross your | bow,” so I answered and slowed down | to let her pass. “Then when about a third of the dis- tance that was between us was covered I saw the launch was heading inshore. | I then stopped the. engines, but the Mc- Dowell went along very fast under her | own momentum. Then I noticed that | the launch was stopped and those on board didn’t seem to know what to do. Then I rung up full speed astern and when about seventy-filve feet away yelled to the launch, ‘For God's;sake go ahead on her’ They didn’t move but all got on their feet as though elec- trified and watched us bearing down on them. I could see the women wringing their hands, but if anything was said I couldn’t hear it. “In a few seconds we came together and the McDowell struck the launch a glancing blow on the starboard quarter, careening her over, She drifted along- side stern down and bow out of water, and when she was amidship T stopped the engines for fgar that some one would get killed by the screw. 'I then lowered the small boat with John Jen- sen and Alec Richter in it but they were too late to be of any use. If the launch had kept on her way and crossed our bow she wonld have been all right. Had she kept on her way in- shore I could have kept out of her way; had she done anything but stop dead still the collisfon might have been avoided, So there you have the cause of the trouble.” : Captain Hart states most positively that the launch was not stopped, and that she was going at the same rate of speed when struck as she was when she swung out from Paclfic-street wharf. Captain Richardson of the steamer Sunol watched the collision from Wash- ington-street wharf. He lays the blame of the disaster on the man in charge of the McDowell He says Mate Grimm was too late in beginning to back his vessel and that caused the collision. The blow has completely prostrated Mr. Paxton.

The reception called many people back to town, and afforded friends who had | not met for many months an opportunity to exchange greetings.
