L HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FBiDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1898 LAUNCH OF THE TUG PAWTUCKET Brilliant Event at Mare Island. SUCCESSFUL IN EVERY WAY| MILITARY AIR LENT TO THE| PROCEEDINGS. | Little Heather Baxter Does the Christening—Gunboat York- town Is Placed in Commission. Special Dispatch to The Call. VALLEJO, No 17.—The tug Paw- tucket, intended for use at Port Or- chard naval rtion, was '~unched at | Mare Island this afternoon in the pres- ence of many people, including all the workmen of the yard and huncreds of visitors from Vallejo. A military air was lent to the proceedings by the presence of a battalion of marines and gailors from the barracks and war ves- seis under the ¢ mmand of Lieutenant Commander C. A. Adams. The hour set for the launching was 8 o’clock, and at that time Commodore J. C. Watson, commandant of the yard; Commodore Albert Kautz, commanding the Pacific squidron, and a number of other naval officers and the ladies of their fo 1ilies stood on a platform sur- rounding little Heather Baxter, the 5- year-old daughter of Naval Construc- tor Baxter, who had been selected to christen the tug. The tug had been wedged up early in the afternoon and was only held by a few shores on the sides and the dog shores on the cradle supporting the vessel. Everything except the latter was cleared away and at 3 o'clock Con- structor Baxt - cut a wire supporting & heavy weigl t which knocked the dog shores away and the tug began to giide toward the water. At that moment the dainty sponsor cried in a clear voice, I name thee Pawtucket,” and swung the bcttle of wine against the steel prow with a crash that shattered it. The tug gat.ered momentum as she sped down the ways and dipping easily as she entered the water floated grace- fully into the stream. She was greeted with a deafening salute of steam whistles and cheers which drowned the sound of the two naval bands playing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which met the raising of the tug's flags as she struck the water. The launch was a complete success in every way and Constructor Baxter, who superintend- ed it, was the recipient of warm con- gratulations. The gunboat Yorktown was after- ward placed in commission under com- mand of Lieutenant Chauncey Thomas, in the absence of Commander C. S. Sperry. The ceremony was quite elab- orate. The following officers reported for duty on the vessel: Lieutenants Thomas, Minnett and Clarke, Ensigns Standley, Knox and Wurtzbaugh, As- sistant Paymaster Perkins, Chief En- gineer Cleaver and Assistant Engineer Snow. The other officers will report for duty in a day or two. W. E. ARTHUR STRICKEN | WITH PARALYSIS | Pasadena’s City Attorney Uncon- scious and Not Expected to Live PASADENA, Nov. 17.—City Attorney W.

Worked With the Aid of a Flashily Dressed Woman, for Whom the Police Are Now Looking. The police have In custory a man who | they say is one of the cleverest shop- | lifters that ever operated in this city. | Accompanied by another individual and | by a flashily dressed young woman the | trio, it is claimed, have systematically | robbed a number of wholesale houses, their booty amounting to several thou- sand dollars. Their latest victims are Murphy, Grant & Co., wholesale dry goods dealers at Bush and Sansome | streets. | A few days ago the clever trio entered | the store and after representing that they were engaged in business in the interior announced that they were anxious to pur chase a complete stock of silk goods. On{ of the clerks took them downstairs to th silk department and showed them (he‘ display. The woman temporarily left her | male companions and pretended to be ex- amining another line of goods. A short time afterward the trio left the store, af- ter apologizing to the clerk for causing him so much trouble, but promising to return the following day and purchase what they needed. A few minutes after | they had left one of the employes of the firm discovered a number of " pairs of gloves which had been tossed behind a barrel and suspecting something wrong he infor: one of the proprietors. An investigation was at once begun with the Tesult that 1t was found that the trio had stolen about $300 worth of silk goods. The supposition is that the woman secreted the stuff in her clothing unknown to the employes. After having taken the gloves it is belleved she concluded that they were not worth getting away with and aside. were immediately notified of the robbery and Detective Tom Ryan was detailed to make an investigation. Yes- terday he arrested a dapper young man named Colilns and locked him up in the tanks. He has been positively identified as being one of the men o accompanied the woman to the store. After being put through the ‘“sweating” process the pris- oner made a complete confession. He gave the names of the woman and the other ac- complice and told where they had sold the stolen property. Subsequently Ryan re- covered a portion of the stuff. He is.con- fident that he will be able to arrest the woman to-day and probably the man. The woman, it is sald, is a well-known Eastern operator, having served a term in the penitentiary in New York for shoplifting. CALIFORNIAN HONORED.

GIVEN A ROUSING SEND-OFF GCES TO CONGRESS SPRINGS| TO-DAY. Speeches Made by Professors, Alumni and Gridiron Heroes to a Great Throng in the Chapel. Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD, UNIVERSITY, Nov. 17. —The enthusiasm of students, which has been daily increasing in intensity as the big game approaches, reached its culmination to-night in the biggest football rally in the history of Stan- ford. If the fo ling that the college is behind it to a man will do as much as is supposed Stanford Varsity will ac- complish’ “wonders during its stay at Congress Springs, where it goes to- morrow morning for its polishing touches and its trick plays. Long before the time for the rally the chapel was filled compactly, the and quadrangle beyond. A section of rooters under trained leaders and cap- tains served as a nucleus of the en- thusiasm, which was not confined alone to male student: Co-eds, too, were af- fected by its irresistible wave and gave vent to their feelings by vigorbusly waving handkerchiefs and Stanford | colors. | President Schwartz of the Associated | Students presided. Speeches w:re made by Professors Branner and Fetter, Coach Cross, Captain Fisher, football heroes and prominent students and alumni. Most of the speakers believed the game would b2 the closest and hardest-fought contest seen on a grid- iron in years and insisted on the neces- sity for untiring effor’ at the springs. After the exercises long lines of stu- dents paraded inside the quad and finally ended on the football field, where a bonfire was lighted. Football songs were sung to popular airs, played by the college band. The men that Captain Fisher will take to the training quarters, as an- nounced by Ceach Cross to-night, are: Quarters Murphy, Beckley, Erb; backs, Plate, Ciinton, Hill, Dols. Dag- gett, Geissler, Downing, Bidwell, Park- in, Freeman; centers, Anderson, Big- low, Gilman. James, Blanchard, Eaton, Bentley; tackles, Wilson, Rusk, Emer- son, Breckett, Webber, Faris; ends, McFadden, Nourse, Riceé, Sell, Parker, Smith. : At the springs Coach Cross will de- vote his energies to developing line men who are unseasoned and ignorant of the finer points of the game. At present Coach Cross believes Stanford’s center trio inferior to that of Berkeley. If the line can ¥ developed Stanford’s chances will be vastly improved. The practice work will be secret and held in the morning and afternoon. The alumni coaches who will assist Coach Cross are Clemans, the star half of the ;92 team; Harrelson, Code and Down- ng.

TOWNSEND FOR FULLBACK| REPLACES MCcBRIDE, INJURED. WHO IS Captain Chamberlain Will Attend to All the Punting and Kick- ing During the Game. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW HAVES, Conn., Nov. 17.—Late to-night it was learned that the definite picking of the Yale football eleven has been made. There were only three po- sitions about which there was any doubt at all, the two halfbacks and that of fullback. For the latter place McBride has been sent to New York to be treated by a specialist, as his ankle is getting worse. In his place Townsend will doubtless %o in. Such is the plan to-night. In punting and all kicking Captain Chamberlain will, however, act. For halfbacks Dudley and Durston are picked out, Ely for quarter-back, with Eddy and Hubbell for ends, Chamberlain and Stillman for tackles, Brown and Marshall for guards and Cutten at center. Should Dudley give out Corwin is the first substitute. ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. 1 he com- petition for places on Cornell's varsity team, which will line up against Penn- sylvania, will be very close and the work of the candidates who are trying for positions in and behind the line is the best seen at Percy Field this year. For fullback Starbuck, who was in the Cornell-Princeton game, and Perkins, the heavy fullback of last year's team, are Keeping up the struggle for the place. To-day Perkins was favored by the fact that his opponent was not able to work and he was kept in the position during the hour's practice. Will and Windsor are trying for right halfback. Cross replaced Grimshaw at right end to-day. Caldwell, it is be- lieved, will be put at center by the end of the week and Wyvill is already booked to play at left tackle. It is doubtful if Alexander will be out in time for the game. Quarter-back Young's position was filled by i ..ort of the scrub eleven. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.—In the absence of Coach Woodruff Captain Outland took charge of the University of Pennsylvania football team to-day. All the men were out except Overfield and McMahon. Overfield is still con- fined to his bed with an attack of the grip and it is possible that he may not be able to “play again this season. Should this be the case McCloskey will probably take his place in the Cornell game on Thanksgiving day and Smith may be given a chance at fuliback. McMahon's ankle, which he wrenched yesterday, is causing much pain, and if he should be unable to take part in the big game Hodge will probably play left end. The men who are more or less ailing are Ruegenberg, Garnett, Gardiner, Coombs, Hedges and Mec. Cracken. CHOYNSKI AND RUHLIN PRACTICALLY MATCHED NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Joe Choynski and Gus Ruhlin have been practically matched to fight twenty rounds at the Lenox Athletic Club about December 25, Ever since they fought In Philadelphia three weeks ago, when Ruhlin had the advantage, the men have been in great demand all over the country for a return match. Billy Madden has recelved an offer of 60 per cent from the Toledo Club, but Ruhlin’s manager says he would rather have the match come off in New York. Tom O'Rourke would like to have the bout take place at his club and he will offer a purse for the contest. il S MUDLARKS IN FRONT. Eastern Races Decided Over Tracks Made Heavy by PRain.

Merrill Convicted of Assault With 2 Deadly Weapon. MADERA, Cal., Nov. 17.—In the Su- perfor Court this evening Willlam Merrill was convicted of an assault with a deadly ‘weapon, the jury being out an hour and a half. Merrill was charged with assault with intent to commit murder. On the 30th of last July Merrill and his brother- in-law, A. B. Evans, engaged in a quarrel as the result of a family feud of some three years’ standing, Merrill firing sev- eral shots at Evans while the latter was sitting in a wagon, none of them effect. Evans then proceeded to his home, a half mile distant, procured a Winchester rifle and returned to the Merrill residence to fuliill a threat to take Merrill's life. Merrill, who had concealed himself in his barn, saw Bvans approaching with the 2un in his hand, fired through a crack in the side of the barn, the ball entering Evans’ abdomen just below the navel, re- sulting in his death two days later. The case was one of the most sensa- tional that has occurred in this county since its organization. Special counsel in the person of District Attorney-elect R. R. Fowler was employed to assist Dis- trict Attorney Larew, while J. M. Mec- Swain of Merced, for the defendant, was assisted by R. L. Hargrove of this city. The defendant was not tried for the kill- ing, but for the shooting at Evans while the latter was unarmed. The jury re- duced the charge, which lightened the penalty from fourteen to two years. The case will be appealed. TRINITY COUNTY LAND DEAL. Important Purchase by a New York Syndicate. REDDING, Nov. 17.—A New York syn- dicate, represented by Sam H. Rice, a clvil and mining engineer of Ukiah, has purchased 16,000 acres of land in Trinity County from the Merritt estate of Oak- land. The first payment was made on the I5th inst., the purchase price being $250,000. | There is a great deal more in this trans- fer than is apparent on the surface. The | late W. P. Merritt and a man named Fenton originaliy bought the land for grazing purposes, and when a survey 0!‘ the county line was being made, a_de- posit of copper bearing ore 1200 feet long | by 70 feet wide was discovered on the | property. Tests of the ore have returned | values of from 9 to 18 per cent copper, $ to $10 gold and $3 to $10 silver. This was the ihducement which impelled the New York people to buy. Development of the copper mine will be begun at once by putting to work a large | force of men. The acreage lies in the southwestern portion of Trinity County | in the Horseshoe Bend ofBel River, | twenty-five miles from the line of the | proposed Ukiah and Eureka railroad. | Fourteen hundred head of cattle were included in the sale. The property is as- sessed in Trinity County for $50,000. DESTROYED HERSELF WITH CARBOLIC ACID SUICIDE OF MRS. CELIA BODE| WHILE DESPONDENT.

She told Mrs. O'Connor that she would rather kill herself than go back to live at her sister's house, and when she learned yesterday morning that her ter had discovered her whereabouts she went into Mrs. O'Connor’s room and swallowed the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid that Mrs. O'Connor had for medicinal purposes. Then she ran down- stairs to a saloon under the lodging house and fell on the floor. The ambulance was summoned and she was taken to the hospital.

His sub- ject was “The Struggle Against Drink.” He spoke of the extraordinary efforts made to exterminate the pernicious drink habit. “Individual effort,” he said, “‘ac- complishes a great deal in that direction. Temperance lectures had only a_tempo- rary effect, as they appeal to the feelings, which are liable to reaction. An appeal to the better side of an individual, his manhood, was effectual.

Professor Louls Vigouroux, a French political economist of distinction, arrived here from Australia on the Moana and is registered at the Lick. He is one of twenty representatives of the Musee Social of Paris, now engaged | in collecting data concerning labor and social questions in all parts of the world. “It is our object,” sald Professcs Vig- | ouroux yesterday, “‘to gather a library of reliable information regarding the indus- trial classes of the world which are not confined to any section or nation, but will be available to all; to have at hand data and full informatfon concerning the con- ditions existing in all countries; and to endeavor to reduce all of the social ques- tions that have disturbed and are dis- turbing the thinkers of to-day to an exact science.” ow did the idea originate?” “It was the practical result of the Ex- position of Social Economy, held in con- nection with the Paris Exposition of 1889, Statistics, pamphlets and full details of experiments in problems of social inter- est were then available, and the informa- tion was so valuable and interesting that the Musee Social was formed to continue the work thus begun. That institution took over all the exhibits and established a library, open to all, and it has received valuable additions since. Neither many politigs nor religion enters into the con- siderations of the society. Consideration is given to all matters of common inter- est, as the benefits of co-operation, the extension of a system of co-operative credit, by which money is lent to mem- bers; the establishment of what are really agricultural banks, and similar matters. “The members of the society include some of the largest landholders in France. It is certain that the project would never have been realized had it not been for the generosity of the Count of Chambrun. Very rich, nearly blind and without chil- dren, he has devoted the greater part of his fortune to the foundation of the Musee. Besides paying its running ex- penses, he has presented it with a plece of property on the Rue Las Cases worth $300,000."" Professor Vigouroux is returning to Paris this way in order to obtain data for completing his report on this country’s so}c;sl pfi?hlsrgs. 5 e will subsequently finish his report: on New Zealand, Austraiia and outfi Africa, and the result of his entire labors will be exhibited in the department of social economy at the Paris Exposition in 1900 —_—— Captain Blaine’s Fake.
