Steamer Queen City Passes Fragments Near Cape Beale. Special Dispatch to The Call VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 6.—Still the sea gives up mute evidences of disaster to | the missing warship Condor, which sailed | from Esquimalt on December 2 in the face of that dread December gale with 140 souls on board. A lifeboat was first found on Ahousset, then another boat | was sighted at the entrance to the straits, | vesterday the lid of a provision box with the rim' of a sallor's cap drifted on a beach near Victoria, and to-night the steamer Queen City returned from the | west coast of Vancouver Island with news of further wreckage, believed to be from the missing Condor, although it was im- | possible to identify it. When steaming down to Victoria from Alberni the Queen City passed a studding- sail boom floating about four miles out at | sea and about six miles or thereabouts te | the south of Cape Beale, where the light- | | house marks the entrance to Barkley | Sound. As there are very few sailing craft, or other vessels, for that matter, | sther than the warships which carry stud- ding-sail booms among their gear the | trend of opinion is that the floating stud- ding-sail boom which was being tossed | shoreward in the heavy seas of this after- | | noon cameé from the long-missing Condor. | | It was about thirty or forty feet long and was either scraped bright or painted a light yellow. It was easily seen from the Queen C 1d that vessel's officers say that there were no heel ropes at- | | tached, they having evidently been car- ried away. In color, size and generally the description might fit the gear of a warship. Whether the Condor carried such studding-sail booms could not be | | learned to-night. | ! The lifebsat of the Condor which was | found by the Ahousset Indians on Janu- ¢ 6, with the gripes still on it and erything pointing to the fact that it had been swept from the davits, is” on board the Americap cutter Grant, ac- cording to advices received from Ahous- set by the Queen City. The Grant called at the west port shortly after the Queen City reported the find_on her last trip and secured the boat from the Indians. The Grant then left for the northwest | coast, making calls at a number ofgports. | | She is expected to arrive at any e on | o her way back from her cruise. No news was received of the British survey steamer Egeria, which is also en- gaged in the search for the missing Con- | | dor, nor was she reported at any port of | along the coast. It is thought that | s standing out to sea and -courlns4 off the entrance to the straits, Feb. 6.—The up. She was presumably a British craft north bound.

Tiane answers both queries in the nega- | tive. He savs: ! There 18 no provision of the charter which | declares contgpets made with the city to be void by reas of the subsequent election of Sny ome of the contractors to an office under the city government.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—Adam Worth, alias poleon of crime,” is dead in London, and with the announcement of his death to- day all the details of the recovery of the famous picture was restored to in Chicago last April there were many | William A. Pinkerton, who made the formal announcement of the recoverg’ of the painting, refused to confirm or fin‘y any of the stories. Now that Worth is dead Pinkerton can speak. Worth gave him written permission to reveal the Gainsborough secret after hls' death. Wrapped in oilcloth the canvas was Moreland Agnew one morning last April in Chicago by Worth, who twenty-five years before had cut the painting from its frame in the Agnew alleries in London. gThe return of the painting took place in Pinkerton’s private office. The owner of the picture hurried back to London for fear the United States authorities would demand a_custams duty on the work, which had been secreted in this country for fifteen years. 1t was while in London that Worth con- celved the idea of carrying off the Gainsborough picture. His first plan was to rob the Royal Academy of its art treasures. Then he changed his mind and directed his attention to the Gains- borough painting. Assisted by his part- | ner, he climbed into the Agnew galleries one night, cut the painting from its can- vas and carried it away. Worth owned a steam yacht and the there until he sold the vessel to Lord Lonsdale. Then he took the picture to Paris and finally brought it to America, where it was concealed for fifteen years. In the meantime Worth was arrested in Brussels and forced to serve seven years. Pinkerton received a telegram telling him that an_important letter was at his home. The letter was from Worth, who asked for an interview. This was grant- ed and Worth said he was going to die and wanted to ‘‘turn_up” the Gains- borough picture in order that his two children, who had been educated in a convent, might enjoy the proceeds. Through a hitch thé picture was not re- covered at that time. Worth returned to London, and early last spring he fulfilled INGRY CIIZENS LYNGH | NEGRD Take Him From Deputies and String Him Up in a Courtyard. NICHOLASVILLE, Ky.; Feb. 6.—Tom Brown, the negro who assaulted Miss Delia Powell yesterday, was taken.from the officers this afternoof and lynched. During the night the mob made repeated attempts to get the prisoner, but failed. Miss Powell is a student at the Jessa- mine Institute in this city and lives at her brother's home, about three miles north. Last evening she started home in company with the Misses Braden, who also live out of town and attend schcol here. Leayjng the Braden girls at thelr home, Miss Fowell continued on foot on her way to her brother’s, about half a mile farther on. After the assault Brown, who was aged 19, was arrested and this morning he was fully identified him. To make the identi- fication doubly sure, the negro was taken to the scene of the assault in charge of officers, followed by a mob of 200 armed men, determined that he should not be transferred to Lexington. The mob fol- lowed closely behind the carriage and was reinforced by many men on the way. riage was suddenly surrounded and the mob dragged the negro from the authori- ties, who made a strong resistance. Brown was hurried to the Courthouse yard, where a rope was quickly put around his neck and he was dragged up over the limb of a tree. He was strangled to death. The whole city turned out to NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 6.—Ulysses Whittaker, _ colored, charged with the murder of John Doster three weeks ago, was taken from jail at Lynchburg last night and hanged by a mob. Whittaker’'s case was called in court yesterday and continued. CALIFORNIAN BILLIARDIST WINS A LONG CONTEST NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Wilson H. Sig- ourney of San Francisco, the ' amateur champion of the Pacific Coast, defeated Dr. C. B. Miller of this city in the A. A. U. class A billiard tournament to-night at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club. It was expected the game would be a close one and that both players would make a high average. Instead of this the game was a long-drawn-out-one; the Califor- nian having to play seventy-seven innings before he had counted the desired 400 points. The Western player was handj- capped by the temperature, which was un- even and the ivories did mot roll to his liking. He showed marvelous judgment as to speed and the accuracy of hig masse and draw shots was frequently applauded. His stroke was rather hard at times, but he soon learned the speed of the table and some of his gathering shots left nothing His opponent, Dr. Miller, gave another exhibition of his wonderful cushion carom work and in addition to this his gatherings were extremely well judged. The game ended in favor of Sig- ourndy by a score of 400 to 332. Following is the score in detail: The afternoon game was the most spirited of the tournament.

Ray Garlick of Tacoma Taken From Palace Hotel to Prison. | Affixes Name of William Al- vord to Checks and ‘' Passes One. Ray Sutton Garlick, a well-dressed young man who lately arrived here from Tacoma, tried to pass himself offvas the nephew of Willlam” Alvord, the banker and ex-Police Commissioner, yesterday and is now repenting his folly in a cold cell in the City Prison. On the prison blotter appeared his name, with a charge of forgery written opposite it. Garlick, who says his father is president of the Puget Sound Savings Bank, at Tacoma, claims that a depleted purse impelled him to commit the crime, but the police think that%e has a penchant for doing such things and has been in trouble before. Since his arrival here Garlick has been stopping at the Palace Hotel. Yesterday afternoon’ he telephoned to the W. K Vanderslice Company’s jewelry store on Sutter streetsand after announcing that he was the nephew of Mr. Alvord said that the banker had given him a check with which he was to purchase some jewelry for him. He was told that Mr. Alvord’s check would -be honored and that the jewelry company would be glad to make the ac- quaintance of his nephew. ‘While the young man was on his way to the store one of the members of the company telephoned to Mr. Alvord and asked him if he bad given his nephew a gheck with which to purchase jewelry for My nephew!” exclaimed the banker over the phone; “I haven't any nephew, and did not give anybody a check with which to buy jewelry for me.” Satisfied that the fellow who had tele- phoned to him was a fraud, the manager of the jewelry store summoned Police Of- ficer Chapin and had him remain in a convenient place until the forger showed up. A few minutes later Garlick, dressed in the latest fashion and his face wreathed in smiles, appeared and after introducing himself as “‘Mr. Ray Sutton of New Orleans, nephew of Mr. Alvord, banker and capitalist,” asked to be shown " watch and a diamond ring. Thanks Jeweler for Kindness. After selecting the timepiece and a ring with two small diamonds, the stranger gave the clerk a check for $100. drawn on the California bank and purporting to have been signed by William Alvord, president of the institution. In order to get a good case against him, the cashier, after pretending that the check was gen- uine, gave Garlick $20, which with the price of the jewelry made up the amount of the check. With many promises of returning and buying more jewelry the youthful forger started to leave the store and was placed under arrest by the policeman. He was then taken to the City Prison and charged with forgery. In his pockets were found six other checks bearing the name of the banker and ranging in amounts from $25 to $100. To Detectives Harper and Armstrong Garlick said that he was penniless, and as he was a stranger in the city he con- ceived the scheme of forging the name of Mr. Alvord to thé checks which were found 'in his possession, expecting that he would have little trouble in passing them. In his room in the Palace Hotel the de- tectives found a diary showing that he had been in Oregon and Washington and that he arrived in this city last Sunday. They also discovered a receipt for S$iL made out in the name of . Garlick from the Dauntless Lodge, Independent Order of Good Templars of Seattle. Garlick Travels the Pace. On a sheet of paper found in Garlick’s room was written the names of the fol- lowing jewelry firms, which he evidently intended to swindls William Glindemann, | A. Hirschman, Shreve & Co. and the Chin-Bereita Com- pany of 991 Market street. Other checks found in_Garlick's room were made payable to Ray Sutton and purported to have been signed by Banker Alvord. ' It was learned late last night that Gar- lick came here a few days ago from his home in Tacoma, intending to go direct from here to Chicago, where his father had arranged for him to take a course at the University of Chicago. Here he met a former companion, Olango G. Moffit, of 2605 Howard street. Moffit's father is a retired shipping man and at one time the family lived on the sound. Young Moffit said last night that he did not know that Garlick's funds were low, but he knew that the youth had spent considerable money. When Garlick left his home he was plentifully supplied with funds, but a%fast pace and riotous living soon con- sumed his bankroll. e e e e e e e e S ] PIRATES L00T TOBAGCO GTAND Not So Much as a Pack- age cf Cigarettes Is* Left Behind. Another water-front burglary in which the thieves worked with impunity as a result of the police department’s lack ot a patrol boat, was committed Tuesday night. The cigar store in front of the Castle saloon on East street, near Folsom, was entered through a hole sawed in the wharf and the entire stock was stolen, not so much as a package of cigarettes being left. The proprietor, George Palmer, says the stolen goods are worth $200. The burglars had evidently worked frem a boat, sawing a large hole through the floor. In all the thieves got away with twenty-seven boxes of cigars, ten boxes of tobacco, a jar of snuff, 500 cigars not in boxes and a large quantity of cigarettes. Not the slightest clew was left behind by the burgiars dnd the detective put upon the case by Captain Seymour has nothing to work on in running down the thieves. Unless they betray themselves in disposing of the booty they are likely to escape punishment. Chief of Police Wittman said last nigat that it was only another case demonstrat- Ing the necessity of a police boat for patrolling the bay. He sald “Every other large city with a water front has one or more launches or om? craft and the front is regularly and sy: tematically patrolled. In consequence the operations of bay or river pirates are ren- dered as difficult as the work of burgiars elsewhere. Here these ‘rats’ can do their work with slight danger of being detected. “My predecessors have urged the neces- sity of a launch for bay patrol, but year after year provision for it has been omit- ted from the tax levy. I shall atrangly urge the purchase and maintenance of a patrol boat and shall place it in my esti- mate of expenses of the department When the time comes.” H —_————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 6.—~From Wen- atchee comes a story of how a redhot stove saved a steamer from being wrecked several days ago. The Columbia River sweeps past Wenatchee with a current of twelve to fifteen miles an hour. Steamers require powerful machinery to ascend the stream and when the ‘conditions are favorable it takes a steamer twelve hours to go fifty miles from Wenatchee to Chelan Landing. The steamer Echo was battling with the current several miles above Wenatchee when her cylinder head suddenly, blew out, and she was<eft at the mercy of the current. She drifted down stream with increasing speed.. Captain Cumins _and crew endeavored vainly to run her ashore. She was swept past Wenatchee and had gone some distance further down the river when Captain Cumins, realizing that destruction was Imminent, began looking for something to use as an anchor. His eye lighted upon a redhot coal stove in the cabin, the stove being full of coal, as the weather was away below zero. Seizing the chains he threw them around the stove and quickly attached the cable. The stove was then dumped over- board for anchorage purposes. It held firm and the boat was stopped until a line could be got ashore. TRIES TO MURDER RICH CHINESE CONTRACTOR Jue Fi, a Suey Dong Man, Attempts to Shoot a Member of the Four Families. Jue Fi, a member of the Suey Dong So- ciety, made a desperate attempt last even- ing to murder Jue Bum, a wealthy Chi- nese contractor. Accompanied by two Suey Dong hatchetmen Fi went mto Bum’s place at 711 Commercial street and demanded of him $500, which he claimed was due him for services rendered. Bum laughed at his demand, when Fi dre¥v a long Colt's revolver and pointing it at Bum’s breast started to pull the trigger. Another Chinaman who was in the lace promptly grabbed the murderous ‘hinaman by the right wrist and forced him to lower the pistol. Just then Police Officer Steve Bonner appeared on the scene and wrested the revolver from Bum's assailant. He was then hand- cuffed and taken to the City Prison, where he was charged with an assault (0 commit murder. Bum i{s a prominent memher of the Four Families, with whom the Suey Dongs had trouble a short time ago, re- sulting in the killing and wounding of at least a dozen Chinamen. INJUNCTION AGAINST MRS, G. BAKER IS DISSOLVED Judge Murasky Decides That Frater- nal Disputes Have No Remedy in Courts. Judge Murasky decided yesterday ihat disputes arising in a fraternal order can- 1wt be adjusted in a court of equity, this dissolving the injunction issued against Mrs. Genevieve Baker, grand president cf ihe Native Daughters of the Golden West, by which she was restrained from organ- izing a new parlor at South San Franciszo to be known as Genevieve Baker Parlor, The organization of the new parlor was opposed by the members of La Vespero Parlor, who claimed thai there was not room. in South San Francisco for two. They claimed that the new organization would cause the dissolution of the old parlor. » Jl:dge Murasky in deciding the suit said: That a court of equity will mot interfere with the affair® of a voluntary association, ex- cept to protect the property rights of a mem- ber, is beyond question. Such a body must regulate its own conduct, define its policy and control its members.

The question of removal, it seems, is not so much the cause of the disturbance | among the members of the Fourth Con- gregational Church as it is the question of the theology of their pastor, the Rev. Alfred C. Bayley. In Judge Hall's court to-day, where the petition for removal of the church and the counter petition were advocated by “pros and cons” of the con- gregation, the pastor told how some of his flock were dissatistied with him be- cause he did not preach enough hell for them. His opponents then came back at him to tell that the trouble was all due to the pastor's advocacy of the doctrine that there is a purgatory for all the sin- ners of this earth. Some of the unbe- lievers in his creed, the pastor replies, have been trying to get him out and making it a good deal warmer for him than the place they want him to preach about. Prepared to talk on both sides of the question, the members of the unhappy congregation were on hand in quantities in the courtroom when the application ‘was called for hearing. That the church- goers are not a unit on the subject of the proposed change from the present site at | Thirty-fifth and Adeline streets to one | in the neighborhood of Thirty-sixth and Grove streets any one could see with the | naked eye, for some of them sat in one part of jthe lobby and some in another and deigned not to fraternize. The advocates of removal were backed Wwith heavyweight reasons for the change when they appeared in court, and they had the Rev. J. K. McLean, president of the Pacific Theological Seminary, and the Rev. C. R. Brown of the¢ First Con- gregational Church to helps them out. The protestants didn’t get in all their evidence at the close of the day, so Judge Hall will give them another chance to- morrow. Advocated the Change. The Rev. Mr. Bayley was the principal witness for the removal. Answering the questions of Attorney Charles E. Snook, representing the petitioners, he said he had been an advocate of a thange for | two years, as he felt that the change would be beneficial by going into a new district. He had canvassed the new dis- trict and.found that it would support the church comfortably. He had done every- thing -possible to infiuence; the ‘propost- tion. “Isn’t it a fact that you want to move because you will get into a more aris- tocratic neighborhood?”’ asked Attorney ‘Wood on cross-examination. “No, it isn't. 1 have been a Salvation Army captain and worked among the poor all my life. I love the poor.” “Isn’t it a fact that your parishioners are nearly all dissatisfied with you?" “‘Since we proposed to remove some of them have been active against me; be- fore that they were discatisfied with my theology. Some of those who are the most bitter have only been to church six times in the four years I've been at the church. They quarreled with their previous pastor. tried every way to get | them to contribute to the church, but | they wouldn't. I understood that it was by a unanimous vote that I was called to the church or I wouldn’t have gone.” “How do the contributions of your op- ponents compare with those of your friends?”’ was asked. ““Well, for the eight months ending De- cember 1 last those who wanted to move gave $510 5, while those who didn't want | to move contributed but $§120 The pro- | portion s maintained through the three previous years.” “Your opponents claim that you have | no‘t ’gfieen preaching Congregational doc- trine?” Didn’t Preach Hell Enough. “Yes; some of them complained that I | did not preach enough hell or devil or| any of the other things discussed by them, but then I couldn’t help that.” “They want more hell and the devil, do they?” “Yes, I suppose they want to give me a | little of it this morning to convince me | that there is such a place.} Dr. McLean was asked if he thought it well to change from the present location because a majority of the people in the neighborhood are poor. He replied that it was not for the poverty that he would advocate removal, but because a new lo- cation, where there is a larger population, is absolutely essential to the existence of the church. There are other churches that the people could attend in the neigh- borhood by walking a short distance. George S. Nalsmith, secretary of the board oftrustees of the church, produced the books to show that the meeting at which the resolution to change was passed | was regular, Edward Leiter and Miss May Leiter corroborated him. The Rev. Mr. Brown simply gave it as his opinion that it would be wise to.change from the | present locality. . In behalf of the protestants Mrs. John Trotter testified that if the church was removed it would take away the oppor- tunity for the children of the neighbor- | hood to worship in the Sabbath-school | and at the young people's meetings. She eople of the not go to proposed new district woul hear the pastor. Don’t Want Purgatory. “Why?" questioned an attorney. “Because the people of the present loca- tion_do not ‘like his preaching. They won't go to listen to him—that's why the church is not prosperous. A whole lot of us left the church on his account.” ‘What objection do they have to him?" ‘He don’t preach the Congregational doctrine. §He preaches purgatory, and we don’t believe in those sort of things. We | are willing to support the church, but | There were many other witnesses in the cour iroont for the apposition, but it was | too late to hear them, and the matter went over until to-morrow at 9 o'clock, when Mrs. Hannah M. Neimann and Mrs Elizabeth Mitchell,” who signed the pro-| test, will be heard.
