A CLEW TO GOETZ. | The Missing Stanford Student Was Seen Sunday by an Alameda | Policeman. ALAMEDA, Oct. 27.—The Alameda Po- lice Department is making no effort to locate Adolph Goetz, the missing Stan- ford student, who was last seen in this city. They say they have not been offi- clally notified of his disappearance, and without such official notification do not feel called upon to volunteer their ser- vices in the search for the missing man. Mrs. A. H. Clark, of 1417 Sherman street, at whose home Goetz was visiting at the time he disappeared, called at the police station Sunday afternoon with a picture of the young man. She told the officer in charge that the photograph was That of a friend who had disappeared, but she refused to give his name. She Jeft the picture, however, and it remained at police headquarters until the following day, when she sent for it. A 'possible clew to the missing student | is furnished by Officer Kamp. He saw | the picture, and states that late Sunday | afternoon he saw & young man who very | much resembled the photograph walking | along Park street in the direction of the tidal canal. “Not knowmg the young fellow's name, or the name of the lady who had report- ed him missing, I was in no position to stop him, as_he was minding his own business and disturbing no one,” sald the oliceman. | "Up to this evening nothing further had | been heard of the young man. Mrs. | Clark has received information from Palo | Alto to the effect that when Goetz left | the university Saturday he had over $60 | in his possession. How much of this he | had left when he reached Mrs. Clark's | home 1s not known, as he did not display any money there and did not discuss his financial affair ee——— St. Mary’s Fair Opens.

AN ABUSED WIFE'S STORY MRS. SPENCER FREE AFTER TWENTY-ONE YEARS. Her Once Penitent Husba-d Wrote a Threatening Letter, but Did Not Carry Out His Intention. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 27. Margaret F. Spencer is a free womai that is to say, after twenty-one years of wedded life with Lysander Spencer Judge Greene has granted her a decree | of divorce. There have been some sensational di- vorce stories lately told in the Alameda courts, but none more heartrending than the tale of marital unhappiness and cru- elty related by Mrs. Spencer. Twenty- one vears ago they were married. Before thelr wedding Mrs. Spencer discovered that her husband cultivated habits not tending toward happiness. It was partly with a desire to reform him that she consented to become his wife. For years he gradually. fell from grace, but did nothing to cause an open breach. Some years ago his mother-in-law died, and | Spencer a few days after the burlal en- tered the house and wanted to know “if the racket was all over.” Mrs. Spencer resented such language referring to the | burial of her mother, and there was a | quarrel. According 'to the _testimony Spencer dragged his wife to the rear of the house, raised a knife in anger and suddenl becoming smitten with grief, ried out “Maggie, I can’t kill you.” He fled his anger on that occaslon by g the arteries of his own wrist. Spencer said from that day she s been in constant dread for her life, and that on many occasions she has frus- trated her husband’'s plans. In May. 1897, Spencer was attacked with Klondicitis {and he asked his wife for money with which to go north. She declined to give him any and he became mad, and, accord- ing to Mrs. Spencer, told her her time had come. This episode was terminated b: a visit from another tenant in the hous who had heard the disturbance. Mr: Spencer fled from home, and her husband | prostrate with grief at their unhappines vrote his wife a note in which he sald: will leave this cold, my own hand. Life is a faflure for me. No God, no wife, no fireside. This is the iast news from me. The next time you hear from me will be in happy, blessed death. This is not idle talk, for 'vou will find me dead in the house of your friend. Apparently the talk was idle, for hus- band and wife lived together until he | handled a razor in an unbecoming man- ner and Mrs. Spencer departed. After hearing the little story Judge Greene decided that Mrs. Spencer might be divorced from her husband. |A NITROGLYCERIN TANK EXPLODES THREE MEN NARROWLY ES- CAPE INSTANT DEATH. | Combustible Chemicals Play Havoc in the Factory of the California Vigorit Powder Company. BERKELEY, Oct. 27.—A storage tankat Point Isabel exploded about 11:30 o'clock this morning. Had the accident hap- pened a minute earlier the event would have turned into a tragedy, bringing to | three men an instant death. The explosion occurred in what: s known as the recovery building, where nitric and sulphuric acids are separated from nitroglycerin. It appears that the glycerin In the recever became over- heated, either spontaneously or from the presence of a greater quantity of the ma- teral than the volume of the receiver will allow, and the big tank blew up with- out a moment's warning. | 1ey, a distance of four miles. The prin- cipal damage was confined chiefly to the scene of the accident, aithough several windows were broken in some of the sur- rounding houses. The magazine and Sackflng houses standing about a hun- red feet away were left unharmed. The escape of the three men belonging to the company was almost miraculous. Robert Burcher, in charge of the recov- ery building, together with John Cain and Superintendent F. G. Gallagher, had just stepped out of the building whei upheaval came. They were in one o Jsht:ds near by, and escaped without in- ury. In explaining the cause of the acci- dent Frank J. Gallagher, one of the offi- cers of the company, sald: *I feel sure that the glycerin in the heated spontaneously, for I don’t see how the tank could have gone up in any other way. This morning rthere was not more than twenty pounds of glycerin in it, but even that was sufficlent to cause this wreck. Even with the greatest care in this work an explosion sometimes hap- pens. — FELL THIRTY FEET THROUGH A SKYLIGHT ARTHUR HOLMES’ MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH. Dropped From the Xoof of the Oak- land Iron Works, Sustaining a Cerebral Contusion. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 208 Broadway, Oct. 27. Arthur Holmes, aged 15 years, residing with his parents at 213 Third street, fell through a skylight in the roof of the Oak- land Iron Works to-night to the fioor be- low, a distance of nearly thirty feet. He miraculously escaped death. There is a cupola on the roof in which iron is melted, and to prevent sparks ig- niting the timbers about it is necessary to dampen the surface In its immediate vicinity. Holmes was engaged in this latter work when it was quitting time, 6 o'clock. The surface of the roof was wet. He in some manner lost his hold, sliding until he reached the skylight, when he crashed through the panes and fell upon the floor in the machine shop below. He was picked up unconscious and taken to the Receiving Hospital, where he was treated for a severe scalp wound. So far as could be determined to-night he sustained no other injuries, though there is little doubt he is injured internally. ‘When Holmes' body crashed throu, { the skylight most of the employes at the works had left for the day. Had not the noise of the breaking panes attracted the attention of a man, who returned to in- vestigate, the boy would have remained there all night unattended. —_——————— Marriage Without a Home.

ALAMEDA, Oct. 21.—Ward Wells, the elght-year-old son of C. B. Wells of the Hawailan Islands, nearly lost his life last | evening by falling from the platform of a narrow gauge train. The little fellow was visiting friends in_Alameda and took the 5 o'clock train at Chestnut street sta- tion to ride as far as Morton street. He stood_on the platform and lost his bal- ance by the jolting of the cars. He fell, striking the ground within six inches of the rails, but_ fortunately rolled away | from the track. His face was severely bruised and cut, one eye was badly in- jured and he suffered a slight concussion of the brain. Will Study the States.

A Pretty Drill by Ladies of the Circle and a Soldier’s Old Time Camp Feast. en | There was a large audience In B'nai Brith Hall last night to enjoy the pro- gramme prepared by the members of Seven Pines Circle, Ladies of the G. A. R., for thelr twelfth annual camp fire. | There was a profusion of petriotic deco- | rations and on the walls were the names | of many of the prominent candidates on the Republican tickets. Mrs. James H. Whitesides presided, and after an overture of patriotic alrs, she introduced Dr. Danziger, who delivered an address on the noble work that the ladies of the order are engaged in. Miss Annie Corrigan gave two recitations; Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Ida Leroi amused the audience with a rendition in character of “The Chinee and the Coon,” after which there were vocal selections by a quintet | of the Fifty-first Iowa Volunteers. ‘As the vocalists retired a veteran ap- peared on the stage, placed a staff on the center, and without uttering a word, hung on it a white silken banner, surrounded With red, white and blue. In the center was a fine likeness of Charles L. Patton, the Republican candidate for Mayor, and above it was painted in letters of ' gold ¥is name and the office to which he will be elected. This silent appeal produced a marked effect on those who gazed at the Stage and with one accord there was a tremendous burst of applause, showing that the great majority was in accord | With the candidacy of Mr. Patton. This incident was followed by a arill by the following named ladies of the cir- cle, who were attired in a neat uniform in which the red, white and blue predom- inated: Anne Eyers, president of the cir- cle; Jeannette Harvey, Lizzle Nolls, Laura Oblinger, Abble Powis, Annle F. Black, Lulu Watrou, Annie Schweitzer, | Ella Tate, Lizzie Houtz, Sadle Plerpont, Marchie Wenk, Rosie Perry, Louise Carr, Jennie Martin and Julia ~Duhem. This corps was put through a number of evolu- ftons by 4. B. Tower of the Fifty-first Jowa. A pretty feature of the drill was the formation in living letters of the ab- breviation of the name of the order, L. of T. G. A. R. The ladies were rewarded by long and loud applause. After the drill there was dancing and an old-fashioned camp fire supper, con- sisting of soldiers’ fare. s CHAMPIONSHIP REGATTA. Oarsmen Preparing for a Day of Ex- citing Sport at Old Long Bridge. The regatta committee of the Pacific Athletic Association is hard at work pre- paring for the champlonship races to be held at Long Bridge on Sunday, Novem- ber 6. A meeting was held Wednesday night, at which the following members of the board of nfanagers were present. W.C. Espey (chairman), J. R. Bockman (sec- retary), J. W. Morton, M. Breen, S. J. Pembroke and A. P. Rothkopf. The re- gatta will be on a large scale, and great preparations are being made for it. A band of music will be engaged, and will play throughout the day. J. R. Bock- man, M. Breen and 8. J. Pembroke were appointed a committee to look after the musical part of the programme. A stand will be erected on the bridge, from which | candidates for office who have donated subscriptions to the regatta funds may address the people. aloon privileges have been granted to Louis von Harten, but no gambling or poolselling will be permitted, the intention being to make the event a purely amateur one. E. Flanders will set the stakes and supply the launch for the committee. The names of candidates who have glven sub- scriptions to the regatta will be palnted upon a banner, the name of only one candidate for each office being accepted by the committee. The following candi- dates have already contributed: Julius | Kahn, candidate for Congress; John D. | Siebe, for Assessor; Henry 8. Martin, for | Sherift; Charles F. Curry, for Secretary of State; John H. Gr-ii{y. for Auditor; Ed H. Kalben, William H. Phelps, Howard Black, Ed Holland, Dr. E. C. Perrauit and_Ed 1. Sheehan'for Supervizors, and C. Kenneally for Assemblyman of the Twenty-ninth District. A circular letter mentioning all the candidates who have contribu will be sent to every member of the rowing clubs on the bay, and to | conse 8}\ r;))ersons upon the invitation lists of the clubs. The regatta promises to be very inter- esting and to furnish several exciting con- testsy It is highly probable that the re- sults of the regatta recently held on Rus- sian River will, in several instances, be reversed. ———— FOR THE TEACHERS' FUND. “The Rubaiyat” With Musical Ac- companiment Furnishes a Fine Entertainment. The Teachers’ Mutual Aid Society took a benefit at Metropolitan Temple last evening, which judging by the attendance, was certainly a social and financial suc- cess. The feature of the very excellent pro- gramme was “The Rubaivat” with musi- cal accompaniment. Mrs. Florence Wy- man Gardner, soloist at Simpson Memo- rial Church; Mrs. Edith Scott Basford, Frank Coffin and Robert Taylor Bien of St. Luke’s Church, did full justice to the exquisite music, both in the solo work and the concerted pieces. Mary, Susan and Dorothy Pasmore added greatly to | the evening's enjoyment, with their ex- ce{}enl trios for piano, violin and violon- cello. —_— e A Polytechnic Victory.
