THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 189s. WS THIC HPPED N I RELLS Hard Luck of Whaler Alexander. CAUGHT NO WHALES THIS TRIP SPENDING MONEY. Apprentice Boys Entertained by Ship- ping Men in the Rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association. The steam whaler Alexander, the last of the fleet, got in from the Arctic yes- terday. She left here on March 31 last, and comes back clean, so the crew will have no money to buy Christmas presents this year. Captain Tilton reports that on October 30 the Norwegian steamer Bow- head sailed from Plover Bay, Siberia, for Yokohama. One of her crew fell from aloft, b broke his leg while cutting up a whale. | such a great time gettin CREW WILL HAVE NO HOLIDAY | and more had a great time in the par- lors of the Young Men's Christian_ Asso- clation on last Tuesday night. People from all the big shipping and grain houses in this city, a dt‘leg{)lk\n from Berkeley and another from Sausalito, sprinkling of ship captains, were there to help the boys to have a good time. Archdeacon Emery of the Church of tne Advent welcomed the boys, and the Rev. Mr. Fullerton of the Seamen's Institute returned thanks on their behalf. Rev. H. H. Dobbins made a capital address, tak- ing for his theme “Old Glory and tne Union Jack of Old England.” here were songs and recitations and choruses, in which the boys joined with a will, and at 9 p. m. there was supper. Then there were more songs and short addresses by the Rev. David James and S. Irvine, and all wound up with ice cream and cake. All in all, it was the most enjoyable af- fair ever gotten up for the sailor boys in San Francisco. The old whaling bark Mermaid, that was taken out of Oakland Creek last spring and made a trip to Kotzebue suuné‘ with gold hunters, was sold at auc- tion yesterday. B. H. Madison bought her for $1250, and_will probably send her back to Oakland Creek for the present. The steamer City of Columbia, that had from New York to Seattle, and was libeled on arrival by half a dozen different parties, seems des- tined to end her days in Hawalian waters. | Her stop In Honolulu cost the owners | lawyers' fees other ex- | . and she now in_Hilo In| | charge of a Marshal, the crew $i3,000 for wages. The steamer's credit is gone, and the sailors would have starv- | e had ot the United States Consul step- ped in to help them. The insurance the Columbia is said to be only $20,000. The steamer Hupeh, which has been ex- ccted here from Hongkong Yoko ama and Honolulu ever since last Sat- urday, is a sister ship to the Shantung, which was here I month he “'BS‘ formerly in the sugar trade between Java and Hongkong, but was chartered by the i Paclfic Mall Steamship Company to bring | over the surplus freight which the reg- | ular boats could not handle.

Just when the very best whaling was going on she was caught in an ice field and held prisoner from May 1 to June 20. She was again caught in the ice in Plover Bay, on the Siberian. coast, and very nearly had to spend the winter there. As it was, she lost two anchors while making her escape, % The Alexander put into Dutch Harbor | yesterday, after an unusually fast run of leaving Plover Bay, and sailed from | €leven days from this port. on November 8 f San Francisco. gale was encountered, so the irned to her anchorage and did another start il Novembe: or the a Commer extending its wharf when The schooner Pearl r San Francisco and was out December 1. came from the Arctic She was reported shore at Cape Nava- ast of all, with four ts of the case are that t in the ice at Cape Nava- whale Kk with six T Wre rine, and the only whalebone secured by the crew was what they got from the ves in trade.

COURT WILL BE HELD ON A GAME PRESERVE PROMINENT MEMBERS TRANSGRESSED LAWS. WHO Billy Berg Appeals to the Officers of | the Tamalpais Sportsmen’s Club for Damages. A special meeting of the directors of the Tamalpais Sportsmen’s Club will be held on Sunday next to hear certain charges which have been entered by Billy Berg against John Bergez and Werner Stalif. The complaint reads: To the Honmorable Otto Muser, President Tamalpais Sportsmen’s Club—Déar Sir: In ac- with the laws which govern our club er that I am entitied to damages 1€ to a dlnner for five persons or its equivalent, vi; $160. By a reference to our by-laws you will see on page 5 of the big game book that section 6 reads thusl ‘‘Any member who des or otherwise disappoints a | brother member when an engagement is made to appear at headquarters on a certain day i 3 1e for any particular purpose, thereby ing the disappointed member a monetary or a loss of appetite occasioned by de- oressed feelings, etc., will be fined in accord- ance with the facts eiicited the sum of $100, which money in accordance with the president's wishes shall be expended in a dinner for five Club members to be selected by the president,” ete. The story goes that last Sunday Biily Berg, after having a verbal understanding with Mes: Bergez and Stauf that they should meet him at the game lodge near Manzanita at 2 p. m., hastened in the ear- Iy hours of morni from Sausalito to the happy hunting grounds. He engaged a spanking fine team in Sausalito, and in the conveyance there were stowed safely ;i\\'af’ several bottles of choice wines and edibles of a kind which only those in afflu- ent circumstances can afford to taste. Arriving at the lodge, Mr. Berg informed the gamekeepers and the royal chef tnat two of his most intimate friends would be over in good season for an afternoon dinner. Consequently a few brace mounntain nheasants, blackcock and wood- cock, fresh from the bush, were brought into camp bfi the head gillie. Time flew by fast as the most entertain- ing narratives of the chase were related b?v the keepers much to the enjoyment of Mr. Berg and his rapidly accumulating apgetltm ‘When the clock in the royal shack struck 2 and not a single representative | of the high class shooting squad was in sight, Mr. Berg waxed apery; but he hoped for better results. At 3 o'clock he mounted a kee?(er's charger and rode to the highest peak, and there scanned over miles of unbroken sod, but no Bergez and no Stauf could be discerned—not even through the club’'s powerful telescope, which is guaranteed to land an object of any reasonable size at from fifty to a hundred miles distant on a clear day. When the clock struck 4 Mr. Berg de. parted for home, leaving a magnificent appetite and the delicacles of the season hind. be'J"he keepers enjoyed the feast of their lives, as the champion deer slayer of the club gave all to them. Ever since Sunday Mr. Berg has been using divers kinds of janguage, but he prays for damages in plain English, -and doubtless the meotlng of club officers and legal advisers, wuic s to be held on Sunday, will be the warmest that has ever taken place on the randest inland game preserve west of the Rocky Mountains. —_——————— Lurline Salt Water Baths, Bush ard Larkin sts.

LITTLE, ricketty, two-story lodging house at 255 Natoma street was the sScene of an explosion yesterday afternoon, which completely wrecked the building and for a time created the wildest excitement in the neighborhood. As yet it is unexplained, but the Fire Mar- shal will make a rigid investigation. The room in which the explosion occurred was occupied by J. N. Chestnut, an erratic, misplaced genius of the Colonel Mulberry Sellers’ type, who is always on the verge of making a discovery “with millions in it,” and he is the only immediate sufferer from the explosion. He took the room about three weeks ago and immediately began manufacturing toy torpedoes, which he supplied to the small boys in the neighborhood. The torpedoes were successful to such a degree that the police finally or- dered him to quit making them and he started to find a market for them outside the city. At about half-past 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the neighborhood was startled by a deafening explosion which shook every bullding in the block. Plaster came rattling down to the accompaniment of the clink of breaking glass and the creaking of timbers. Women and children rushed screaming into the narrow street, and a dense cloud of smoke was seen to arise from the rear of 255. Mrs. Hansen, who was ly- ing sick in her room at 257, was thrown out of bed and the shock to her nervous system is so great that it is probable she will not recover. An alarm of flre was at once turned in, but when the firemen arrived they found that there was no blaze—nothing but smoke and wreckage and an old man washing blood from his face and hands. It would be hard to imagine a room more completely demolished than the one in which the explosion took place. There was not a whole stick of furniture nor an unbroken pane of glass in the room. Chestnut, cov- ered with blood and trembling with fright, was taken to a free clinic in the neighborhood. The skin was torn from his face and hands and one eye was missing. He went away after his wounds were dressed and has not been seen since. The owner of the house tried to throw an air of mystery about the whole thing. He declined to make any statement or any explanation. Judging from appearances the explosfon took place in the bureau in Chestnut’s room, but he claims that he had prepared a box for shipment, but thinking it unsafe, started to open it with a hammer and chisel. As a natural result the first blow of the hammer caused sufficient concussion 06 30 0 X 20 X0 X 06 Y36 X0 306 308 30% 308 30¢ 10% 308 308 108 X0 30% 306 0 50 300 300 04 S0 R R 0L A X of | to explode the contents. 206 308 506 308 308 0% 30¢ 30K 308 K06 308 308 30K 300 3¢ 0K 0t §=gegeg=tetuieiatatatetetadutotuetatatntuteatatatatatatutatatetatategetetote e aRoRoR e oRoRoRogoRogoto-Roget-] 30080 06 10 05 OO 08 HOFCF 0800810130 08 L0508 KK G SOHIOR Y008 K 08 0108 08 08 0 CH XOHOF QP QX H0HOR 10 308 18 XX 06300 308 108 306 308 08 508 306 00 0 I j=g=8cg=g=geFag=Fe FaFRoFoPo ¥e] TAKESTHAEE MEDALS BLATZ BREWING COMPANY AT OMAHA SHOW. COMPETES SUCCESSFULLY WITH LEADING BREWERIES. Two Gold Medals Were Awarded to Blatz’s Export Beer and to the Com- pany’s Malt-Vivine—The General Display Captured a Silver Medal. Two gold and a silver medal have been awarded to the Val. Blatz Brewing ?om- pany on its products by the Trans-Missis- sippl and International Exposition atOma- ha, which has recently been brought to a successful conclusion. The gold medals were awarded to the Val. Blatz export beer and to the Val. Blatz Malt-Vivine for quality, in competition with the world, and the silver medal was awarded on the general display of products made by the company at the exposition. The managers of the brewing company are much elated over the awards, as they have a right to be, for their products were not only brought into direct competition with the leading brewing companies of this, but with those of many of the countries of the old world. The Blatz Brewing Company has passed the half-century line since it was organ- jzed, and is now one of the leading brew- ing plants of the United States. Arrange- ments are being made at the present time to enlarge the plant materially next sum- mer. —_———————————— MABEL TREADWELL'S FUNDS. Now the Subject of Litigation in Judge Troutt’s wourt. The action of Calvin P. Summers against the California Savings and Loan Soclety to recover a judgment of $14.000 was opened before Judge Troutt and a jury yesterday morning. The plaintiff al- leges that in 1892 Mrs. Mabel Treadwell deposited the money in the bank and sub- sequently assigned it to him. The bank denles that Mrs. Treadwell ever assigned the 'money, on information and bellef, while H. C. Summers, Joseph Nolan and Maud Nolan, who are joined as defend- ants, aver that they have an interest in the deposit, and pray that the plaintiff take nothing by his action. —_———————— Artists’ Materials.

The Gifted Musician to Be Heard in This City. | The piano recital to be given by Mi | Alice Beach McComas next Monday even, | ing at the Century Hall on Sutter stree | promises the music-loving public of th. | city at least one more individual exhibi tion of genius before the close of the present year. During the past year mu- #ical prodigies innumerable have been in- troduced for judgment before the critics, but most of these have been found to simply possess a partially developed tal- ent. Th Miss McComas, however, will be found a true perfection in her art which comes from long and indefatigable study, alded by natural genius. Hol; l;eperto(n‘ has almost no limit. She can interpret the intricate and complex compositions of Mendelssohn, Schubert. Mozart, and, in short, ali the great com- posers, 'with' the greatest facility, accent- ing fully and perfectly with an inimitable ease the compositions rendered. Among her patrons in this clty are: Mayor Phelan, Irving Scott, Marco Hell- man, David Lubin, Henry' N. Clement, Mrs. Willlam H.' Mills, Mrs. Lovell White, Mrs. Frank Sullivan, Mrs. James Neall, Mrs. Marriner Campbell, and a host of other prominent men and 'women. If possible on the evening of the recital Miss McComas will introduce before the public one of her most promising pupils, Charles A. Rossler, a deaf musician, well known in Chicago and, in fact, genérally throughout the Bastern States, but more particularly in this city. This marvel of musical ability sprang into prominence more from his absolute deafness, which prevents him from distinguishing the slightest sound, than through his other- wise ‘:rtira:rdlnarfi' cleverness. Mr. Ros- s vas at one time a prominen in both business and socfal clrclestogg(‘gg city. He was a member of many of the most prominent glee clubs where, note withstanding his affliction, he particular. ly shone as a musician, wit and what the world calls a “‘good Josher.” e coming recital by Miss McComas promises to be both an inter and enjoyable entertainment.

MORE CLAIMS HELD UP PEDAGOGUES MUST GET NOVEM- BER PAY. Until Salary Bills Are Adjudicated Favored Merchants Must Wait for Their Money. In Auditor Broderick the teachers have found a strong armed champion, and he has taken up the fight for their rights against the School Directors with a wea- pon furnished him by the School Board itself. When the board cut off the November pay of the teachers at its meeting a week ago it expected no more opposition than a general kick. There were claims from local merchants aggregating nearly §75,000 for necessary and unnecessary sup- plies decorating every pigeon-hole in Sec- retary Welch's office. The merchants not only had votes, but recourse for their clalms to the bondsmen of the Directors. The teachers had neither. Of a conse- quence the teachers suffered, and $15,000 of supply claims were audited and sent | downstairs to Auditor Broderick. At the same time the salaries of office and shop employes, amounting to $1450, were signed and sent to the same official. he teachers held the expected indigna- tion meeting, passed fitting resolutions, waxed warm in the neckwear and de- cided to resort to mandamus proceedings to compel the payment of their Christ- mas money. The litigation threatened by the teach- ers gave the Auditor his onportunity and | | | | and upon that estimate he owed less than | that the | |'at his office by | | | he has held up and refused to audit the $15,000 in supply claims and the $1450 of office and shop salarfes until such time as the teachers’ claims saall have been ad- judicated. Though Auditor Broderick has been con- fined to a sick bed for several weeks past he has kept In close touch with affairs at the hall, and has been well represented his chief deputy, Dan Leary. Both are convinced that they have the law with them in their present action, and they propose to hold the claims of the favored ones of the Direct- ors until the board has been forced to acknowledge the rights of the pedagogues or the courts have brought to bear some force stronger than moral suasion.
