Our boats were lowered and picked not lifted to the deck. After we thought we had picked up every one we had our lifeboats circle around for nearly an hour, I can in no way blame Captain McKenzie or myself for the accident. Every precaution was aken to guard against an‘accident, and my nly explanation is that in a fog of the char- cter of the one on the bay on Saturday night signals are sometimes misleading as to distance nd direction. Respectful] . T. TRIBBLE. Captain McKenzie's report reads: 1 have to inform you that we left San Fran- cisco at 6:% ». m., with the steamer San Rafael. We backed out and had to make a round tern.

She stove a hole in the hull, caus: ing the water to rush in. Charles Johnson, Who is mate, was at the wheel in the pilot- house with me. I told him to go down fnto the the turn.

Befs to get aboard the Sausalito. They did so as fast as they could. I then went down on to the lower deck, where I found the cook looking for his money. 1 ordered him above and told him to get on the other Moat. I looked into the restaurant, but saw no one.

McKenzie Cross-Exnmined. Captain McKenzie's report was received by Inspector Bulger and then the cross- examination began by Inspector Bolles. ““Were you blowing your regular, fog whistles after the turn?” asked Bolles. “We were,” was the answer. Captain' McKenzie thought from the way he was shaping his course the Sausa- n};, would pass him on the starboard side. ““Who was steering?"” continued-Inspec- tor Bolles. g Mate Johnson,” replied the listening and I had the compa The boat was straight were sounded regularly “What was the first sound you heard?" “The fog signal almost three or four points on my starboard bow.” How many times did you hear the signal?” The first time I heard it T blew three whistles and the second time I stonned the engines. The first time I reversed the engines. 1 gave no more whistles un- til T saw the lights in front of the othgr boat.” ’ ““At about what angle did the Sausalito strike yvour vessel?"” ‘“‘About three points on the starboard side.”, Captain Tribble Testifies. Captain Tribble of ‘the Sausalito fol- lowed “Captain McKenzie on the stand. His report was read and then came the cross-examination. “How was the fog in regard to dens- ity?”” was the first question. Very thick,” was the answer. Did you see the light at Alcatraz?” N I heard the two bells. I thought I was about 1200 feet off the east end of the island.” captain. standing by the S in front of me. and the whistles “At about what speed were you run- ning?” “‘About three-quarters, until the east end of Alcatraz, when I slowed down. I heard nothing until Alcatraz was passed frcm other vessels.” *‘Did you get a good echo from your whistle? “Yes. I passed the east end of the isl- and at 6;36. I know, for I always record it. The way we always run is if the boat from Sausalito gets to.the east end of the island first we go inside, but if the city boat gets there first we blow two whistles and go out.” “How. were you steering this night?” “Southeast half-east, ‘& little more to the southern end to give him a chance 'to pass far to the right and get the.echo from Telegraph Hill. It was a big ebb tide, which was a little on the port bow. I was heading pretty well into the tide, which runs pretty straight, and so I did not think we would drift.” “When did you first hear the San Ra- fael's whistle?” ‘‘Some time before the collision, and it sounded on the finrt bow about half a point. 1 heard the whistle five or six times before I heard the signal. All this time I was going under a slow bell and kept -blowing the whistle all the time. Her signal of two whistles was on the port bow. I was. heading for the end of Lombard street and felt sure that in g0~ ing to the right I would clear him.” ‘‘How long was it after you heard the signal of the San Rafael that you came together?” asked Inspector Bulger. “Not more than a minute,” was the re- ply. “The first time you heard the fog. whistle, if vou had put the wheel hard down, you would have cleared her, would you not?” “Yes; but I had no idea‘that she was going on that course.” Captain Tribble then said there was no agreement how the boats should run in the fog or what course should be taken. Mate Johnson on the Stand. Mate Charles Johnson of the San Ra- fael, 'who was steering at the time of the aceident, was called. He testified that the fog was dense at the start and that after turning round he could not see the lights of the city, but afterward saw the Tib- uron pass. He heard the bell at Lombard street abeam. The boat was going slow- ly at this time. He steered northwest by ‘west after leaving Lombard street. “How many times did you ear the' WILL COMPETE "IN 4G FIELD New Company Is Formed With a Capital of $30,000,000. Incorporators Are 'to Erect Plant - Here Within Five Months, Articles of incorporation of the Califor- nia Gas and Electric Company were filed with the County Clerk yesterday. - The capital stock is placed at the princely figure of $30,000,000, of which $450,000 has been subscribed. The purpose of the corporation is to ac- quire gas plants and machinery for the manufacture and distribution of gas not only in San Francisco, but at Bakersfield, Sacramento, Stockton, San Jose and other points in the interior. The distributing - points will = be San Francisco and Bakersfleld. The incorpo- rators are A. E. Childs of Boston,’R. R. Colgate of New York City, Eugene J. de Sabla Jr., R. M. Hotating, L. P. Lowe, John Martin, William M. Pierson, J. C. Coleman and C. A. Grow, all of San Fran- cisco. The plan of_the new company is to dis- tribute gas in this city for 75 cents per thousand cubic feet. If.this is carried out, the San Francisco Gas and Eleciric Company will have a formidable competi- tor. "As'many of the incorporators of the new company are millionaires of enter- prise, it seems probable that they mean buginess and that the public will get the benefit of cheaper gas in the near future. Mr. Colgate, president of the company, is a multi-miilionaire who has long bee identified with gas and electrical concern, in the East. Mr. Childs is a capitalist, and at present president of the light, heat and power corporation of Boston, a con- cern embracing some fourteen companics in Eastern cities. Mr. Hotaling is the well known local liquor man and million- aire. Mr. Martin is president of the Cali- fornia Central Gas and Electric Company, which is at the present time supplying many of the interior: cities with gas and electricity. “The-other gentlemen are well known in legal and commercial fields. Vice-President Martin made the fol- lowing statement last night concernin the proposed operations of the company: We intend to Dbe in operation in this city within the next five months. We will at once begin the construction of a plant- here with a daily capacity of 6,000,000 cubic feet: - Orde-s for the material will be issued within the next five days. We do not enter this market with any desire to injure vested rights, but we in- tend to furnish better gas than is being fur- nished in this city at the uniform price of T cents per thousand cubic feet. It Is_our plan to construct a plant at Bakersfield hav- ing a capacity of 11,000,000 cubic feet, From this point we will supply intermediate cities to and including San Jose. The cost of our San Francisco plant will be about $3,000,009, of which 25 or 30 per cent will be for labor We have taken steps to acquire the necessary franchises here and elsewhere, and within the next twelve months the people of this city will experience the benefits of genuine competi- tion in the lighting fleld. Our stock is not for sale, for the reason that we have all the money we require. That is all I have to say concerning the subject for the present. President J. B. Crockett of the San Francisco. Gas and Electric Company said last night that his company was ready to meet’ the promised competition. He ad- mitted that the incorporators of the new company were men of wealth, and that their connection with the projéct gave it a standing which could not safely be jg- nored. He was aware that the projec: was under consideratior for some time, and was not ‘surprised when the papers were filed. . He declined to state what his company would do until after the new company had commenced operations promised and was actually in the fleld a & competitor against the existing corpo- ration. s s —_— LAY COAST RAILWAY COMPANY MUST EXPLAIN Supervisors Cite Its Attorney to! Shew What It Has Expended in Construction. The Supervisors' Street Committee yes. terday directed W. T. Baggett, attorn of the Bay Coast Railway Company, to appear at next Thursday's meeting of the committee and explain the progress made on the proposed railway as required by the provisions of its franchise. The company had until September 27 to ex- pend $25,000 on construction work, and the Board of Works has been directed to as- certain if the money has been expended. If it has not the company will forfeit its franchise. M. Hernon, attorney for the University Mound District Improvement Club, a dressed the committee in opposition to the maintenance of fences in the district named. Hernon argued that the Super- visors have no right to permit the fencing of public streets.” Action on a petitior to have the resolution on the subject was postponed temporarily. —_——— Civil Service Examinations. The Municipal Civil Service Commission will hold an examination for assistant engineers in the Department of Works on December 11 and 12, 1%01. Though there are ten positions to be filled at salaries ranging from $125 to $160 per month, there are so far only two applicants for the examination. The time for making ap- plication will eénd to-morrow afterrioon. The examination for Chief Assistant En- gineer will be held on December 18 and 19, and so far no applications have been filed. The position is now held by E. J. Morser and pays $260 per month, —_——— Roosevelt’s Policy Commended. At the meeting of the directors of the California Retail Grocers’ and Merchanis’ Association held last night resolutions were adopted commending the policy of President Roosevelt in urging the re-en- actment of the Chinese exclusion law in his recent message to Congress. Mr. Mor- ris of Alameda suggested that the Cali- fornia Congressional representatives be also urged to assist in securing a national pure food law. C. C. Emslie, organizer of the association, spoke of the growing interest in the organizaticn throughout the State. L e e e e e il ) Sausalito’s fog whistles before you dia anything?” asked Bolles. ‘“‘About three or four times. Then the caprain ordered me to put the helm hard to starboard. We blew two whistles and the other boat did the same. Very short- ly after the captain stopped the boat. The boat was still backing at the timeé of q:e collision. Then I left the pilot-house. Johnson then said he was sent below to report the condition to the engineer and returned to_the pilot-house. Captain Mc- Kenzie ordered him to lower the boat. Two lines were fastened, stem and stern, from the San Rafael to the Sausalito. He went through the ship, helping the pas. sengers out of the cabin. “Did you stay until the ship parted?” was_asked. “No,” was the reply. “Only until the passengers were all out of the cabin.” -'Did you see any people in the water?'’ “Yes, some of them jumped overboard with life preservers on.” Drilled Once a Month. “How often did you have darill on board?"" ‘‘About once a month.” Johnson further testified that the boats were all in order, but that the plugs were out. He could not explain the necessity of keeping the plugs out when the boats were covered to protect them from rain. Johnson told how he helped others up from the water before he was hauled up. He saw none drowned. “‘Did the whistle of the Sausalito souna all the time on your starboard bow?"” con- tinued Bolles. “*Yes,” was the reply. “Do you think the Sausalito was inside her regular course from Alcatraz to Lom- bard-street wharf?’ “I don’t think she was. If she had stayed to the course in whlih she was running- when she struck us I think she would have hit the Powell-street wharf.” On cross-examination xJol'm:on clung to his testimony that 1 the whistles sounded to starboard. “The two whistles sounded about three boat lengths away,” he declared, HOAR ON DIDEROT IS THROWN ‘ AND DUCKOY TAKES THE PURSE Birkenruth Given Fifteen Days’ Suspension by the Oakland Judges---Favorites Out of Luck. HE first two races on the card at Oakland yesterday broke so nicely for the crowd that the subjects of the “Queen of Bavaria" could see millions in sight. Fhen four favorites were laid to rest and there is no telling how much the books cleaned up. Of these ill-fated choices Diderot, heavily played at 7 to 10, met with an ac- cldent. Jack Atkin's horse was consid- ered by his owner a certainty to beat Duckoy for the mile selling run, but at the first turn he was badly worsted in a bumping match; and Hoar was dumped off into the mud. Duckoy, ridden by O’Connor and racing for the first time in the colors of his new owner, Green Mor- ris, then went on, winning at the wire from Rushfields in a hard drive. Birken- ruth, who rode Lodestar and finished third, was ueld responsible for the ac- cideAt and his mount was disqualified. In an endeavor to stop rough riding if pos- sible the officials decided to suspend the offending jockey for fifteen racing days. Milas, from the Jennings stable, did not have much to beat in the maiden two- year-old number, and at 0dds of 9 to 5 won almost easily from The Maniac and Wan- dering Boy. ‘Angeleno, from the Baldwin stable, came in for considerable backing, but did not look ready. This was followed by the win of the seven-furlong eve: by the favorite, Flamero. Mounce had the mount and drew away from First Shot at lefsure. Canejo ran third. In the Futurity course rint for two- year-olds Bullman on Nonfe succeeded in beating the gate and was never caught. The winner closed at odds of 6% to 1 and was all out at the wire to beat Phyllis a length. g Mounce piloted Marelio, the favorite, and had the misfortune to have his sad- dle slip back, losing the show to Sol. “Link” Jackson, the midget lightweight, again landed Darlene a winner. The mare did not attract much attention in the betting in the mile and a sixteenth run, but led from start to finish. Birken- ruth rode a poor race on the favorite, Alicia, losing ‘the place to Hohenlohe by four lengths. To all appearances the tumble Hoar took from the back of Diderot did not jar him to any marked extent. He came out | right after it and put Merops over the line first in the concluding three-quarter dash at odds of 13 to 1. Decoy, the favor- ite, was cut off at the head of the stretch and in a drive lost the verdict by a head. Invictus finished third. 11 easler Track Notes. M. Aczel writes to Presiding Judge Murphy from Budapest, stating that he would like to secure the services of a first-class rider. Ruiz could probably make a mark over in that count: Starter Holtman told the judges it looked as if J. T. Woods made no effort | to get Floronso away from the barrier, and many others were of the same opin- ion. This is not the first time Woods has been left, and the matter may re- celve some conslderation from the stand. ‘Winnie O'Connor added to his winning column list by getting to the wire first on Milas and Duckoy.

ANDALUSIA, Ala, Dec. 5.—Sheriff | Bradshaw returned to Andalusia to-day | with twenty-two negroes, who are ac- cused of complicity in the killing of J. W. | Dorsey, a merchant, and Fate Atkinson, | City Marshal, at Opp last evening. The | negroes brought in to-day were chased | with bloodhounds and captured by the Sheriff and his posse. { The Sheriff landed the negroes safely in jall here, and has taken precautions to | resist a mob in case one is formed. J. W. Dorsey and Marshal Fate Atkin- son went to the quarters near Opp yester- day to arrest a negro who was accused of | stealing a pistol from a white man. The negro was barricaded in his cabin and fired on the men as they approached. It | developed that the negro had about fifty | of his fellow workmen in the house with | him. A general battle ensued, in which | Dorsey was killed and Atkinson fatally wounded, he dying of his injuries shortly afterward. A white man named Fitzsim- mons, who was with them, was shot twice in the leg. Two negroes were killed and | several others wounded. The names of these are at presént unknown. The attempt to capture the negroes at | that time was given up and Sheriff-Brad- shaw was sent for. He left Andalusia at | once for Opp with deputies and dogs, and returned to-day with twenty-two negroes. J. W. Dorsey., one of the white men | killed, was one of the most prominent citi- zens of Opp, being a merchant, a member of the Council and Treasurer of the town. — | WILL CELEBRATE THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION Gentle:fl:n’s Sodality of St. Ignatius Chureh Will Honor the Blessed Virgin.

Catarrh is a dreadful disease that comes sneaking along for years, gradually growing worse and worse—grad- ually spreading from the nasal cavity to the throat, to the bronchial tubes and on to the lungs, spreading over the deli- cate network of mem- | branes—causing a vile il and poisonous discharge, | a discharge that is filthy and foul smelling. Often this discharge is not coughed or hawked : up, but slides down to the stomach, where it upsets the digestive organs and causes all sorts of dis- turbance—finally getting 3 . ol into the blood and |l] weakening and impoverishing it. | Catarrh is a long story, full of troubles and misery until finally controls the whole system and eventually destroys it. A cold in the head is generally the beginning of catarrh, and chronic catarrh is a difficult disease to cure. Halpruner’s will check a eold at once—Halpruner’s is fine for colds—it knocks out a cold in a few hours—it just drives it right ] out of the system and gives you quick and satisfactory relief. So stop your cold with Halpruner’s and keep up the treat- ment for catarrh—take Halpruner's internally to remove the cause and spray the medicine, diluted with water, up the nostrils to clean \ it out mucus and phlegm and allay the inflammation and soothe the goreness. Keep up this treatment conscientiously and regularly and your catarrh will gradually disappear. 0 Do not get discouraged if you are not cured in a day or a week. Remember this—you have had catarrh for many vears and it has a strong hold on your system and you must not expect to get rid of it at once. But keep up the treatment and you will cure yourself entirely.
