THE FARRAGUT IS FAST EXCEEDS HER CONTRACT SPEED BY NEARLY A KNOT. | Sailing of the Steamer Alameda De- layed on Account of the Non- Arrival of the English Mail. The steamer South Coast had an ex- perience with the raft of piles that Cap- tain Zaddart will not forget in a hurry. Like the Santa Rosa the South Coast was | right on top of the ‘‘menace to naviga- tion” before it was seen. Then the cap- tain reversed the engines but was too late to avert a collision. The South Coast struck the raft a glancing blow that made every one of her timbers groan and brought everybody on board up standing. No great damage was done and the steamer came on to San Francisco with | her cargo of beans and corn. Captain Zaddart, in his report, says: At 2 a. m. on the 3d inst. we passed a arge raft of piles about 250 feet long four miles west of Pigeon Point. The raft seems to be in good condition, but is very dangerous to navigation.” This makes two narrow escapes for steamers. The next one to strike the raft may be at full speed and may go down with all Chamber of Commerce has taken the matter up and yesterday communi- cated with the Secretary of the Treasury on the matter. Af the letter conclud, “We earnestly re- quest that you will take such steps as, in your good judgment, may seem best to have this dangerous practice of tow- ing log or timber rafts at sea stopped, and thereby remove an unnecessary risk to_navigation.” The torpedo boat destroyer Farragut exceeded her contract speed yesterday. Unfortunately her starboard engine broke down and it will be three weeks before the frail but fast vessel can have another trial.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's steamer Gipsy will sail to-day on her fifteen hundredth gound trip, a record that has never been equaled on this | coast.

The company has thirteen coal hoppers on the various wharves owned | by the State and refuses to pay any rent for the privilege. Captain Roberts, man- ager of the concern, has been warned again and again during the past five months, but has paid no attention. Tues- day last the board notified him that if the rent was not paid or the hoppers re- moved by this morning the State would move them and charge him with the cost, and yesterday Assistant Chief Wharfinger Scott went around to all the coal ships using the hoppers and notified them that they would be removed to-day and told them to govern themselves ac- Roberts threatens to sue out an injunction and says he will resist the removal of his hoppers, so there is liable to be trouble when the moving begins.

On Saturday, October 15, the great ‘Wal- lace shows will open in this city, and, if the advance reports prove true, it will be the biggest thing in the way of a circus ever seen here. The big tents will be pitched in Central Park. All sorts of new attractions are prom- ised by the big posters, and the manage- ment of the show boasts that it never ad- vertises an act that is_not given in the regular performances. The show is a big ihree-ring affair with'a fine menagerie at- tached. It is claimed thaf the horses are the finest to be found In any circus, and the usual number of trick riders has been more than doubled. The names of the principal_riders are: Louise de Mott, Adelia Nelson, Gracie Thomas, Winnié Sweeney, Lilllan Schafer, Robgrt Stick- ney Jr., Oscar Lowande, William O'Brien, William Melrose and Henry Letourder. The circus will continue for nine days. ———— An Artilleryman’s Mishap.

In the case of the San Diego Flume Company, appellant, vs. C. H. Souther and W. 8. Crosby, the United States Court of Appeals yesterday set aside the decree of the lower court, dismissing the cross bill and the bill, and remanded the case to the Circuit Court for further proceed- ings. Souther & Crosby had brought sult against the flume company to cancel a written contract. It was alleged that the flume company made two contracts with the plaintiffs to furnish them water for ir- rigation in the year 159, and that on J‘L]me 7, 1894, l.t‘hos (i]fll{l{pi:fi)’ dl\'lened xrurr‘n an half the water so con- ; i e oo A ctyorng 1| QOLET AND UNEVENTXUL SES | until December 8 of the same vear. On SION OF THE BOARD. October 2, 1894, the plaintiffs rescinded the second contract. s The defendant denied that the contract was rescinded, and asked for the recov- ery of $2160 alleged to be Interest due on the contract of March, 18%, and $6500 dam- ages. The defendant claimed that it had a right to divert the water complained of because there had been a drought, and that it had furnished the plaintifs’ with what water was left after the cities and towns had been supplied. In rendering its decision the Circuit Court of Appeals say that corporations | engaged in the business of furnishin water for frrigation under the laws of California, whether they acquire the water by appropriation of the waters of the State or otherwise, are private cor- porations. They are nowhere declared 1o be public corporations or quasi-public. They conduct thelr business for private ain. It appears from the pleadings and rom the evidence that neither of the par- ties to the suit had made the rate so fixed by ordinance applicable to them, but con- | tinued to recognize the contract of March, 1890, as controlling their dealings one with | the other. In the cross bill no attempt is made to assert rights under the ordi- nance. The prayer of the bill is confined to the petitions for rellef under the con- tract. — ) —— Rheumatism, kidney, liver diseases cured. Dr. Gordin, Sanitarium, 514 Pine, nr. Kearny, S.F.

STREET SURVEYS PLANNED A Large Number of Local Improve- ments, Including Considerable Street Work, Receives Attention. The most important business transacted yesterday by the Board of Supervisors was the passage of a resolution to repave Market street with bitumen from Sixth street to Van Ness avenue. The Super- visors were not in a mood to discuss mat- ters of public importance, and contented themselves with attending to a grist of minor matters. A communication from the Pacific Tele- phone Company objecting to the use of a patent telephone service by the police wis referred to the City and County At- torney for an opinion as to what action, if any, should be taken by the board. A sixty-day leave of absence from the State was granted Police Commissioner Robert J. Tobin. Permission was granted to the National THE LUCK OF A SPECULATOR. During the rage for new joint stock companies which followed the passing of the limited liability acts, the great discounting business of Overend, Gur- ney & Co. was transferred to a new Athletic Club to hold a fight in November and the Hartford Athletic in October. The Union Paving Company was author- ized to construct basalt bloek gutterways on each side of Sutter street, between Kearny and_Grant avenue, and to lay bitumen on the street on a concrete foun- dation at least six inches thick.

This took place in 1865, and in the year before, as we learn from Mr, Turner's “Chronicles of the Bank of England,” from September to March 263 companies were formed, with a nominal capital of over £78,000,000. of these new companies, twenty-seven were banking and fifteen discounting companies. It may_ be added that “cheap money” and the enormous profits of company promoting have caused an even greater outburst of joint stocking activity during the last three years, the effect of which will probably cause some interesting results before the end of the century. But to return to our story. There were very extensive dealings on the Stock Ex- change in the shares of all these new companies and the public bought hand over fist. A jobber who had a very large con- nection found that owing to the strong demand for these shares he had in the ordinary course of business sold to the brokers who came to deal with him | many more shares than he could pos- | sibly buy back except at an enormous Joss, which would inevitably bring him down.

George Brazilo, an eight-year-old boy residing at 216 Union street, fell under the cars of the Belt line at the foot of Union street yesterday evening and had his leit arm so severely mangled that an amputa- tion was necessary. The boy with ‘wo companions was play- ing near the track when a train loaded with fruit came by. He climbed on to a car to secure some of the fruit ana fell under the wheels. R. B. Knowlton had warned the boys about playing around the cars but a short time before the accident, but they did not heed him. After speak- ing to the boys Knowlton went into a neighboring store to make purchases, and when he returned to the street he found Brazilo sitting on a chair on the sidewalk with his_arm nearly severed from lus body. The Harbor Hospital ambulance was called, and Drs. Hill and Zabala am- putated the arm above the elbow. — e ——— Letters for Manila and Hawaii.
