THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 189S. 9 WEATHERING A GALE OFF THE COAST. The bark George F. Manson now considerably overdue here from Sydney, N. S. W. had many a rough ex- perience on this co st, but always e out of the battle with the elemen: ts with flving colors. Shipping men do k the vessel is lost, but the underwriters who fear she was caught in the storm that nearly wrecked the 1 of India on the Australian coast are maying 30 per cent to reinsure her hull and cargo.

TO COMMEMORATE THE FOUNDING OF A CHURCH I am not in favor of taxing PRESBYTERIANS PREPARE TO CELEBRATE, OAKLAND, Sept. 5.—Next Wednesday | evening will be an interesting occasion in | church history in this city, as at that time | there will be gathered in the First Pres- byterian Church men and women who { have been prominent in ecclesiastical | work during the past forty-five years. | BElaborate preparations have been made for the memorial festival which will cele- brate the forty-fifth anniversary of the | chureh, which was organized in April, 1853 With the exception of Father King's | it is the oldest church in this city. The | original house of worship was a cloth tent, in which services were conducted by Rev. 8. B. Bell. The church afterward moved to a pub- | lic schoolhouse and later to a building, which was erected about 1856, at the | corner of Webster and Sixth streets, and | which cost about $6000. Later the build- ing was removed to Broadway and Thir- teenth streets and enlarged to meet the requirements of the Erowing congrega- tion. It now stands on Thirteenth street, | between Broadway and Franklin, and is { known as Armory Hall. The 'present handsome structure at Fourteenth and | Franklin streets was built twenty-three years ago at a cost of $i2,000, and was | dedicated in January, 1876. |~ Ygsterday's services were commemora- \mqof the First Protestant communion | serMce ever held in Oakland, and Dr. R. Coyle preached from the same text, | “And they crucified him,” as did the Rev. | 8. B. Bell forty-five vears ago in the little | tent near the water front. On Wednes- day evening several of the older members | will deliver their addresses. They will { include the Rev. Samuel H. Wilson, D. D., | Charles E. Bailey, Mrs. Walsworth and Mrs. John Kelsey. Dr. McDonald, the as- sistant pastor, will read a paper devoted | to Dr. and Mrs. Bell and George C. Ald- | rich, who may be called the founders of | the church. A number of letters from | former pastors will also be read. e e —— MUST STAND TRIAL. | Samson to Be Vigorously Prosecuted for Supplying Camp Barrett With Tainted Meat. OAKLAND, Sept. 5.—Health Officer J. P. Dunn could not swear out a warrant | to-day for the arrest of M. M. Samson, who supplied bad beef to the Eighth Regi- ment at Camp Barrett, this being Labor | day. He will do so to-morrow, and the | affair will be the subject of a thorough | official inquiry. “I consider it a serious matter to sell | such beet,” said Dr. Dunn, “and I shall | devote all my energies to the prosecution of the man who would thus endanger the | lives of our people. It is evident that tne | | | particular meat condemned did not pass | through the hands of the Government in- iiyecmr, nor was it killed by the Western | | Meat Company, for had it been it would have borne the proper stamp.” Dr. Dunn believes that he has enough evidence on which to convict and is satis- fled that there will be no trouble about making Samson pay the penalty. — ee—————— DIED NEAR SAN PABLO. John Whelan Wandered Into the Hills and When Caught Expired. OAKLAND, Sept. 5.—John Whelan died under peculiar circumstances in the hills near San Pablo last evening. He had been visiting his uncle, Patrick Murphy, and during the day his mind became affected and he wandered into the hills. Two men | were sent after him in a buggy. They | found him. After he was placed In the vehicle he gasped and died. The remalns were viewed afterward by the Coroner of Con- tra Costa County and a jury, and were then sent to this city for interment. Dece- dent’s family reside in San Francisco. He was thirty-five years of age and was known to have been afflicted with heart trouble for some time. His Oratory Was Lost. OAKLAND, Sept. 5—The Rev. Barton Perry of San Leandro is convinced he is not a politician and that he understands little or nothing of their ways. He learned a lesson last Saturday which furnishes him matter for conversation and will probably form the theme of sermons in the future. He spoke for twenty minutes on the desirability of holding the Repub- lican convention in that town. At the end of that time he learned that the matter was settled favorably in an executive ses- sion of the committeemen. “If I ever felt like collapsing,” said the pastor, “it was at that moment. All my oratory, all my promises, and about twen- ty minutes of valuable time wasted, be- cause T didn't know that politicians trans. acted such Important business in execu- tive session with us on the outside.” Choral Concert To-Night. OAKLAND, Sept. 5—A choral concert will be given at the Macdonough Theater to-morrow evening, under the direction of William L.

HERFATEIN - THE BALANCE Fears for Safety of the Geo. F. Manson. | TAKE CHANCES ON THE SAFE | ARRIVAL OF THE BARK. | Return of the Transport Steamer Lakme From Honolulu—Pat Galvin’s Steamboat Ven- ture a Failure. The American bark George F. Manson is now out 125 days from Sydney, N. S, ‘W., for this port, and fears are enter- | tained for her safety. Among shipping men | she is not given up as lost, but still the | underwriters are paying 30 per cent to | reinsure the hull and cargo. While the Manson is considerably overdue, still, other vessels that left Australia about | the same time made unusually long pass- | ages. The General Falirchild was 11§ | days coming from Newcastle, N. S. W., and many ships of the British fleet have taken from ninety to a hundred days cov- | ering the distance. Sugar boats from the islands have taken from twenty-five to | thirty days to get here, and the captains | of the coal and sugar fleet all lay the blame on “light winds and calms.” The Manson was thoroughly overhauled and recoppered before she left Sydney, so her hull and spars give no cause for anx- fety. She was, however, out in the “great Malitland storm” that caused so much de- struction on the Australian coast, and that is what makes the underwriters un- easy. The Manson sailed from Sydney one day before the British ship Crown of India left Newcastle, and the latter was towed into Sydney dismasted, she havin~ been caught In that storm. | A great deal of interest is taken in the fate of the George F. Manson, not only because Captain P. Crack and his soh, P. Crack Jr., the first mate of the bark, are well known here, but because nearly all the reinsurance on her was placed in this city. An “‘overdue” affords a good chance for a gamble, and many & man on ’Change has risked $100 to win $20 that the Manson would arrive in safety. It can readily be understood that underwriters who are interested in the “overdues” are only too willing to get rid of the risk by paying a premium on the insured rate to those who are willing to take the chances. The premjum varies with the chances of the vessel turning up. Thus, on the French bark Pierre Corneille, from San Francisco for Cape Town, South Africa, 9 per cent reinsurance was pald. Tnis bark was posted at Lloyd's as “ml“m%” a few days ago, and the gamblers had to ay up. pl{’loygu never posts a vessel as missin, until & committee Is thoroughly satisfies that her case is hopeless and until the owner is of the same opinlon. Before post- ing, a notice is put up, and kept up for a week, inviting information concerning the vessel. If this elicits no news the committee at its next meeting votes the ship as “mlsslnfi" and a notice is posted accordingly. All insurance and reinsur- ance matters are then settled. Incident- ally “Posted at Lloyds as mlsulni" con- stitutes a legal death certificate for any one on board the missing ship. Reinsurance on the Manson will, there- fore, probably be greatly increased be- fore there Is any talk of *“‘posting” her as “missing.”” She is an old but stout vessel. She was built at Bath, Me., in 1875, and is 1418 tons gross burden, 206.1 feet long, 39.2 broad and 23.9 feet deep. The steamer Lakme arrived from Hono- lulu yesterday. She was a long time mak- ing the run here, Captain Klitgard lay- ing the blame on the strong northeast winds encountered during the passage. She brought up a few pasgengers and 100 tons of sugar and unches of bananas. The work of remnvlngb the standees used by the soldiers was begun as soon as the vessel docked. The deck house will remain, however, as it will be useful in the coast trade into which the Lakme will be put. Captain Klitgard of the Lakme was a great favorite with thebvo]unh(ee;! ae tfln;lk tlo Honolulut.‘ Auad he brought back wi m a very hand- some testimonial lixnss by the “officers. There was a concert and ‘a couple of four round settos on the upper deck every night and that helped to pass the. long evenings in the tropies. rossing the troglc old Neptune paid the Lakme a visit and ten of the soldier hoys who had never been to sea befdr: were bathed and shaved much to the delight of their companions. Captain Klitgard of the Lakme was for- merly master of the schooner Eva, When in that vessel he made the round trip to Mahukona and return in twenty-six days, and a round trip to Puget Sound and back with lumber in twenty-one days. These were both record breakers. He will not make many fast voyages in his present command, however, as the Lakme was not buiit for speed. The ves- sel is a splendid carrier, a magnificent sea boat and as well appointed a steamer as goes out of thlld.gc'art. but she is not an “‘ocean greyhoun The river steamer Mary Ellen Galvin 1s still tied up at ont street wharf, and the chances are that she will never see the Yukon River. For weeks Pat Gal- vin kept the steamer Cleveland and her load of merchandise tied up at firflnn street wharf in the hopes that his river l 'GAMBLERS IN REINSURANCE | Btate of California steamer could be fixed u? 80 _that he would have something to take him from St. Michael to Dawson, but the Mary Ellen Galvin was a failure, and he had to go without her. As the Mai Ellen Galvin cost him In the neighborhood of $35,000, Galvin's venture into steamboat- ing cannot be called a success. He fully expects to find a quarter of a million awaiting him, as his share of the prod- ucts of his mines, on his arrival at Daw- son, so the loss of $40,000 or $50,000 in a steamboat venture does not worry him very much. George Hibbetts, a machinist, 69 years old, was sent from_ the.Harbor Receiv- ing Hospital to the City and County Hos- pital yesterday. While working at the W. J. Thomson Mill Company on Mission street he was taken seriously Il and was hurried to the Harbor Hospital. On his arrival there he was taken violently il with hemorrhage of the stomach. Berkeley News Notes. BERKELEY, Sept. 5.—The residence of H. Joensch on University avenue, between Tenth street and San Pablo avenue, has been guarantined by Dr. Payne, as there is a case of diphtheria in the family.
