Rebecca Lee, who lives at 1016 Market s plaintiff in an action for divorce | t her husband, Lee, had her innings before Judge | Hunt yesterday. Mrs. Lee alleges that for some time past her husband has been in the habit of treating her in an inhu- man manner, and for these reasons she asks tr the marital knot be severed | and that she be given all the community | property in which her husband is int ested, ith suitable alimon Lee denied her allegations of cruelty and | simpl s that at the time he was forced to slap his wife because she would | remain away from home all day and on| her return refuse to tell him where she had been. Mrs. L in her own b e was first called upon to tes- half, and she set forth c acts of cruelty of which | victim.

He recited other incidents of cruclty on the part of Lee and then re- tired. To-day Lee will have a chance to disprove the allegations of his wife, it he can, and for that purpose has sum- moned & number of witnesses to testify that his wife's passion for gambling in | stocks broke up their once happy home. | e ——————— THE GALLAGHER INQUEST. The Jury Finds That the Fatal shot ‘Was Fired by Mike Flynn. | Coroner Hill held an inquest yesterday morning into the matter of the death of | James Gallagher, who was shot and killed In Sullivan’s saloon at 113 O'Farrell | street last Saturday night. All the wit- | nesses were examined, but all who were in the saloon at the time the fatal shot was fired pretended that they did not | know who fired it. Della Richardson told | the story she told the police the night of the tragedy, that she did not see the shooting, that _Gallagher told her | John, alias Mike, Fiynn had done the deed.” Nothing new was elicited and the ;Lxry rendered a verdict to the effect that lynn fired the shot, and charging him with murder. Flynn's case was called in Police Judge Graham's court yesterday morning and was pogtponed until next Monday. —_— | | Despondency Leads to Suicide. | James Terrell, a laboring man, was | found dead tn his house, 456 Sixth street, | at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

He was a widower and leaves one grown up son. Yesterday afternoon he nttended the funeral of an old friend, and this, it is luspoled induced the despond- ency which finally resuited in sulcide. ————————— The Champion “Fiend.” | Frank Ricardo, the young man who | swindled several grocery firms by obtain. ing supplies of champagne by represent- THE SPARTAN ON HER WAY TO SEA After leaving Clallam Bay, and while the men were making fast the port anchor, Second Mate John Wielan of the Spartan lost his balance and fell overboard. The steel hawser could neither be cut nor cast off, and the attention of the crew of the tug could not be attracted by signaling, so the ship went on to sea ana Wielan had to be left to his fate.

Anxiety Over an Overdue Fleet of | Steam Schooners—Death of Lit- tle Royal Beeman of the Farallones. The American ship Spartan, which ar-| ed from Seattle last Tuesday, began the voyage with a fatality, but made a fast run down the coast. After leaving port Captain Polite had to bring his ves- sel to an anchor in Clallam Bay. When the weather had moderated outside (he tug came alongside, the Spartan’s anchor was tripped and another start made for | San Francisco. | When the tug and her tow were well | | out into the Straits of Fuca the fatality | | occurred. Second Mate John Wielan and some of the crew were on the forecastle | | head making fast the port anchor. By | some mischance Wielan lost his footing | and fell overboard. It was a beautiful | moonlight night at the time and the sea | } was as smooth as glass. The men could | see the mate drifting astern and the cry of “man overboard” was raised. The tug was taking the Spartan through the wa- ter at the rate of eight knots an hour | and the sailors tried in vain to throw the | | towing line off. They could do nothing | with the steel hawser, however. Then | | they got axes and tried to cut the rope, | but failed again. Lights were flashed at | the tug, horns tooted, danger signals gi en, but the captain of the steamer neither | beard nor saw any of them, or if he did | paid no attention, and so the man strug- gling in the water was left to his fate. The Spartan was towed to sea and cast off. The tug returned to Port Townsend with those aboard still in ignorance of | what had happened. Wielan was well | known on the coast, as he had been in | the Puget Sound trade for yea: The ship Wachusett arrived from the yestérday after a long and tem- voyage. To add to the horrors nf the trip she sprang a leak, and for ten | ays the men were at the pumps more or Jess all the time. It was on Christmas eve, when the ship was sixteen miles southwest of Flattery, that the first gale came up. It blew with hurricane force from the southeast, and on Christ- mas day the Wachusett sprang a leak and soon the water was making headway at the rate of six inches an hour. All day long, instead of enjoying | Christmas fare, the crew battled with the Storm and Jabored at the pumps. The next day the gale died down a little, but it soon sprang up again, and for ten days it was a continual fight for life. The ship was well found throughout and thor- oughly stanch or she would never have stood the battering she got. As it is she will have to go on the drydock and re- ceive a thorough overhauling before she can go to sea again. Vessels arriving one with tales of storm and disaster after the other have | raised fears for the safety of the steam schooners Ruth, Coquille River, Grace Dollar and Fulton, They are all long overdue, but probably were driven north by the southeaster. The Ruth and Bonita léft Coos Bay in company and the Bonita got in last Tuesday after a seventy-six- hour tussle with the storm. The Ruth | had the schooner Luella in tow, and the 1 chances are that both of them are hove The Luella is to be a steam schooner, d is nn lher way here to have her en- n. he anu)!le River was due here from lamook and the Grace Dollar from ys Harbor last Mond while the Fulton left here for Coos Bay on Decem- ber 29. While the Coquille River and Grace Dollar may have been hove to all through the storm the chances are that the Fulton has been driven past her des- ;irmklion and will have to fight her way Royal Mateo Beeman, the boy mother braved the terrors of a hm(hfir in order to bring him from the Farallones to a doctor, died last Tuesday. It will ck. Little the dangerous trip was nearly swamped and all of them would have been drowned had not the pilot boat America_gone to their assistance. Cap- tain Jordan not only picked them up but tempted brought the party to the city. The best | medical care could do little Royal no good, €0 he passed away in his mother’s | arms. Vessels for the spring rush to the Klon- dike are now being eagerly sought for, and freights are likely to advance in con- | sequence. Parties are now negotiating for the charter of the Charles Nelson, and if she is secured she will be placed in the Seattle-Skaguay trade. Lurline Salt Water Baths, Bush and Larkin sts.
