She came in off Cape Beale | at noon to-day and signaled, asking to be reported. A tug has been sent for her. } The Ilala is ninety-seven days from | Montevideo with* general merchandise. | Sixteen days ago an Indian sealer picked {up one of her life-buoys while hunting seals near Uclulet.

C., owner of the salmon cargo of the British ship Ardnamurchan, has given up -all hope for the vessel. For some weeks past salmon has come ashore along the coast near this city, and Anderson came over from Vancouver to investigate. Inquiry proved conclusively that the salmon came from the Ardna- murchan, and he expresses the belief that the vessel and her crew of twenty-three men have gone to the bottom. The Ardnamurchan sailed from the Fraser River on November 23 and was off the Columbia River when the first of the three great gales arose. Doubtless she was capsized and carried her helpless crew to the bottom. The same gale caused the loss of the Andrada, hope for which has been entirely abandoned. It now appears that another lumber schooner has been wrecked on this coast, quantities of lTumber have come ashore uring the past few days. Local shippin, men are at a loss as to the identity o the schooner. FIRE DESTROYSA LARGE GLASS FACTORY Plant of the National Glass Company at Rochester, Pa., Is In Ruins.

The night employes turned out with their own hose and en- deavored to subdue the blaze, but a strong west wind was blowing and the flames goon spread to the packing department. From the packing department the fire made rapld headway to the maln factory, and within one hour and a half from the time the fire was discovered the plant was in ruins. The dphmt occupied several acres of ground and cmployed 1500° persons. The fire departments of near-by towns were called upon. Divorce for Mrs. Wilshire, LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.—Mrs. H.

GRASS VALLEY, Feh. 11.—Details have just come to light of a robbery that for boldness and daring exceeds anything re- corded here in years. A week ago a rich strike was made In the Empire mine.: A portion of the ledge about six feet long and four inches wire was seamed with gold. Before having it removed, the man- agement declded to let it stand until some of the owners of the mine could arriye and see the bonanza in its native state, On Sundays no one works in the mine but the pump man. The door barricading the mouth of a drain tunnel was broken open by robbers, who traveled 2000 feet to the shaft. They then descended about 1500 feet and went into a drift 800 feet long, where the rich ledge was uncovered. They drilled two holes, using forty of the comi any’s drills to do the work and display- ng a thorough knowledge of the mine and the location of its tools. Then they de- m’:rnr:-:z;ly fired thnhhlumlL Ump man heard the thought some of the men beffix’q;&'iabfi'; the company were at work.

SPOKANE, Feb. 11.—Mrs. Agnes Hales, formerly of San Francisco, slowly strangled to death here this afternoon while Policemen Parrish and Walker stood calmly by awaiting the arrival of the Coroner. The woman was attempt- ing sulcide by hanging. = The officers waited ten minutes before the Coroner arrived. The Coroner at once detected heart beats; the woman was cut down and he worked earnestly to restore life, but in vain. All admit that the sufcide would have been prevented had the woman been cut down when first the officers arrived. The victim has been known as the wife of Morris Goldstein, with whom she lived seven years. He beat her frequently re- cently. Their child, a girl of six years, came home from school to find her moth- er dead and her father in jail for sup- posed murder. This latter theory was abandoned and the husband released. Goldstein tells of their life together and of their frequent quarrels. She passed as his wife at Denver, Salt Lake and Butte. He deserted her in the Mon- tana town, but she followed him hither. Then they quarreled again and he went to San Francisco. He tells of her having followed him there; of the baby having met him on Market street, recognizing him and calling him “papa.” Again he abandoned mother and child and came back to Spokane and again she followed. Coldbloodedly he confesses that he beat her to make her give him her money. In the room with her body he mimicked her talk in telling his tale to the reporter and rayed absolutely no emotion.

Waldeck, who was for a short time captain of a company in the Seventh Volunteer Regiment of immunes, raised in Kentucky during the war with Spain, was arrested yesterday by De- tective Harry Reynolds at 405 Gelf‘y street and was locked up in “the tanks” at the City Prison pending developments. He arrived here from the East about January 9 and registered at the Palace Hotel There he ran up a bill amounting to $19 15, and as he was unable to liquidate it he was notified to quit on January 16, and his trunk was detained as security for the bill. Waldeck has been wearing the uniform of a captain of the army and representing himseif to clergymen and business men, it is alleged, as still in tne gervice. Com- plaints were made to Captain Seymour by the officers at the Presidio that Waldech was so representing himself and asking them for money. A firm of military out- fitters on Sutter street complain that Waldeck had got from them a captain's cap valued at $11 and had left his old one to be repaired. He had also ordered a set of epaulettes, which had not been called for. He represented to them that he was an army officer. The Rev. Dr. Parrish of the Church of the Advent, who says he is so poor that he has to live in the base- ment of his church, complained that Wal- | deck had got $3 from him on the repre- sentation that he was expecting money from the East. He had called upon other clergymen, among them the Rev. Dr. Clampett, who gave him a letter of intro- duction to the Rev. Mr. Hitchcock of San Rafael. It was those complaints that led Captain Seymour to detail Detective Rey- nolds to arrest Waldeck. Waldeck was living at 405 Geary street under the name of G. Wilson, and it is al- leged that he got goods from merchants urder that name. Among them was the Welsbach Company, 140 Ellis street. Among the papers found in Waldeck’s ossesslon was one from Colonel G. L. {llesple of the United States Corps of Engineers, New York, dated May 24, 1598, to the adjutant general of the army at Washington recommending Waldeck for a commission in the army and stating that he had been an officer In the artillery of the army of the Netherlands, as his father had been before him. He had also bundles of letters of recommendation from clergy- men. Two letters written by himself, one to J. C. Astredo, superintendent "of the Church Mission’ Home, 606 Folsom street, and the other not addressed, showed that Waldeck had contemplated suicide. In the letter to Astredo he said that he intended to ena his own iife, and asked him to get his trunk from the Palace Hotel and send | the contents to his wife. S s s s e S Y + THE DAY’S DEAD.
