Twenty- twe members of the Naval Militia of California, under the direction of Bock and Hogan, left the training ship aboul {noon for a cruise to El Campo. After they had been gone for about two hours Captain T. A. Nerney, who is in com- | mand of the Marion, received a report that the cutter had been overturned and his men drowned. Immediately there was the greatest excitement on board the Marion. Captain Nerney ordered his launch and a gig to proceed at once to the place where the accident was reported to have occurred to investigate. The launch was under the command of_ Chief Engineer Kingsland and Ensign J. J. Foley, and the gig was in charge of Charles Schill- | ing. They found the launch with its merry crew of the Naval Militia_ sailing about the bay in the vicinity of El Campo, the men enjoying themselves thoroughly. They did not appear in the least as if ‘\he,\‘ had taken an unwelcome bath in | the briny waters of the bay. How the report started is a mystery. Captain Nerney announced yesterday | that Captain Brown will take the Marion to Sausalito on Monday, August 25, and that on the Sunday foliowing that date | the recruits will be taken to the ship for a stay of eight days.

The deceased’s {llness dated from a trip East last May, whither he journeyed with his daughter, Miss Bertha M. Dol- beer, for the purpose of visiting the place of his birth. He was stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, when stricken with heart disease. So ill was he that his medical attendant there re- quired him to remain in his room for a month. Mr. Dolbeer then left for San Francisco in the care of Miss Dolbeer, a physician and a nurse. He went to the Hotel del Monte, but it was seen that he was rapidly failing and he returned to his home, 2112 Pacific avenue, and never rallied. Mr. Dolbeer was born March 23, 1827, om, N. H., where his family owned a beautiful homestead. He came to California in 1850, going in the year 1862 to Humboldt Bay, where he joined partner- ship with Willlam Carson, who survives him. Deceased was extremely quiet in his habits and unostentatious. ~ He leaves one child, Miss Bertha Dolbeer, and a few distant relatives. The obsequies will take place from the late residence of the deceased at 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon. e e e i e ] ] HIGH DIVER STRIKES SWIMMER AT SUTRO’S Eric Muhr Comes Down From Great O’'Farrell street was cut at Sutro Baths yesterday afternoon, doing a few high diving stunts. He had dived from the lower altitudes and, as his courage rose with each dive, he mounted to the highest platform. J. H. Griggs, a teamster of 305 Turk street, happened to be swimming through the water at the very gpot in which Muhr wanted to land on his last high dive. Muhr came down with terrific force, his back striking against Griggs’' head. Both were badly injured. Muhr was sent to the Park Receiving Hospital, while | Griggs, whose injuries were of a_ more nature, was taken to the French the latte being nearer the sccne of the accident, Dr. Boscowitz treated Muhr and found that he had sus- tusion of the back and left rious.

NEVADA CITY, Aug. 17.—At Hobart Mills a few days ago during a thunder- storm lightning struck a building, and for a few minutes the excitement was in- tense. Women shrieked, farmers rushed to places of supposed safety and electric- ity flashed everywhere. The lightning struck a tree near the town and the charge followed a wire near by, ran down another wire and struck the casing of a window in an old store build- ing. The casing was torn off and the glass was smashed. The paint inside the room was stained as if burned with pow- der and a sulphurous odor was notice- able. Smoke issued from the building and the fire apparatus was brought out, but there proved to be no blaze. A large number of men were standing on the porch of the new store at the time of the flash, and they all rushed for the inside and clogged the doorway. T. H. Crane was passing under a pole holding the wire over which the lightning ran, but he was not injured, though he was within a few feet of where it stfuck. The dynamo that furnished electric lights for thé town was damaged by the fuses burn- ing out. There have been many electric storms in that vicinity this summer. Recently lightning struck a tree so close to a pass- ing train that splinters from the tree fell over the car: Gates Party Arrives in Denver. DENVER, Aug. 17.—John W.

He was driven to the Brown Palace Hotel and had a consultation with some of his Den- ver representatives. Afterward he told the reporters he had nothing to say, and that he positively would not consent to an interview before to-morrow. L e e e S e e e ] ] Grays Harbor.

Leonardo Torres and Captain Gomez of the Cananea special police had arrested a desperado who was wanted for several crimes. They were taking their prisoner to the army headquarters and when in front of Frank Proctor’'s famous gambling hall were met by two friends of the des- perado, who were armed with knives. They made a rush at the officers in an effort to secure the release of the pris- oner. Torres was stabbed through the heart and fell dead on the spot, while Gomez drew his gun and put up a hard fight against his three antagonists. He shot one of their number through the leg, but was stabbed and fell back before he could offer more resistance. He was picked up by bystanders and taken to the hospital, where he died the next day. A large crowd had assembled, attracted from the gambling hall by the shots, but in the excitement of the moment the murderers were allowed to escape. The army officers stationed at Cananea came to the rescue of the police and sent out a posse on the trail of the three men. The Mexican who had been shot through the leg was tracked into the mountains by the bloody trail and captured. The other two men succeeded in eluding the offic cers, who, however, have a woman fn Jail who, they believe, knows where the murderers are in hiding. Gomez, one of the officers who was mur- dered, was an unpopular man in Cananea, both among the Americans and the Mexi. cans, and many threats had been made against his life. The names of the two murderers who tried to release the des- perado from the custody of the officers are not known, but it is believed they are members of the same gang which has been operating at Cananea for some time, — EIGHTEEN-INNING GAME RESULTS IN A TIE SCORE St. Louis and Brooklyn Play ‘the Longest Professional Game of Record in Former City.

Florence Roberts to Appear This Week in “ The Country Girl.” St The new acts this week at the Orpheum offer an excellent attraction for the lovers of vaudeville. Carroll Johnson, the old- time minstrel, made his first appearance and did some good, work, his recitation of the prize-fighters ‘being especially good. Harry Thompson, a German comedian, made his initial bow with a number of clever imitations, which won instantane- ous fayor. The musical novelties of Smith | and Fuller being new and meritorious, | caught on immediately. The bill in gen-| eral was above the average. 'The living pictures, which included the reproduction of famous bas reliefs, marble statuary and paintings, were artistic and natural. The biograph, as usual, rounded off a performance that should pack the house for the remainder of the weelk. Frederick Warde closed his successful season at the California last night with the presentation of “Damon and Pythlas. To-night the clever Neill company ggins at this house with the ever popular r- bara Frietchie.”” The advance sale is large and it looks as if this piece would draw crowded houses, as it has whenever produced here before. Mr. Neill has made a tremendous success with this play. So great an impression did it make here when given before that many went to see it a second and third time. There will b matinees Thursd:\y fl.nd %n(ul’day. i An event of first interest at the theaters | this week is the ‘‘Camille” to be given by the Miller-Anglin company at the Colum- bia Theater. In it Margaret Anglin will make her first appearance in the role and thus challenge comparison with the great- est women players of the day. Much is expected of the young actress by all fa- miliar with her work. Her large emo- tlonal capacity, that came upon the pub- lic as a huge surprise in “Mrs. Dane’s Defense,” will here have fullest opportu- nity for exhibition, and the keen insight, sympathy and eminently plastic nature of her work seem to promise a Camille that will place Miss Anglin at the very head of her profession. No actress on the American stage is attracting quite the measure and kind of interest that centers round Miss Anglin. The dimen- sions and kind of Mrs. Fiske's art are known, and that of Blanche Bates pre- sents little of the problematic to the man- ager. But with Margaret Anglin it has been so far a steady, onward progress, with astounding developments, like the Mrs. Dane and Sophy kullgarney kind, and no one knows just where or how she will reach the apex of her possibilities. Sometimes it would seem as if comedy were her particular bent, again tragedy— of the .modern sort. But in everythmg} she does is felt that indefinable charm known as magnetism that compels atten- tion to her lightest look so long as she | is upon the stage. Technically Miss Anglin has improved upon the part of Camille, hitherto always played from the first translation made. She has modernized the diction, strip- ping the lines. of various lingual absurdi- ties that have heretofore distorted them, and, in fact, has translated afresh the story of little Marie Duplessis. Henry Miller will be the Armand Duval, | and with such an interpreter the part is likely to rise triumphantly from its usual ungrateful obscurity. The wealth of the fine_company is scattered over the rest of the cast, and the settings of the play will be of the handsomest description. ““Camille’” goes for to-night, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and the Wednesday matinee. The remainder of the week wiil be devoted to ‘“The Wilderness.” Next week, the last of the season, ‘‘Heart: ease,” in response to a large demand, will be put on. v Strong intere: production of the perennial * week. ‘*‘Carmen’’ La Boheme,” that with 'Carmen”” will fill up the take place to-morrow evening. Since its | first production at the popular opera- house last year ‘“La Boheme'’ has taken its place with the strong favorites of the Tivoli programme. They do the Puccini opera awfully well, and the cast this year is almost identical with that of last year. Montanari, who introduced the role to America by way of the Del Conti com- pany at the California_Theater some years ago, will again be Mimi. Tina de Spada, who has found high favor with the Tivolians, will sing the role of Mu- sétte to its sure advantage. But the Ru- dolph of Agostini, which compares en- tirely favorably with any of the Rudolphs presented by Mr. Grau, will be the head- liner of the performance. De Padova should do good work as Marcel, the impe- cunious painter, and Dado will sell his coat again as Colline. Tzani is Schau- nard, and Cortesl, who is clever at com- edy, will be Aleindoro. In the “Carmen’’ cast will be a change from the De Spada Micaela to a Micaela offered by a new singer, Miss Marie ‘Walsh, who made a very pleasing impres- sion at the unfortunate “L’Amico Fritz"” production some few months ago. “‘Car- men’”’ goes merrily on, time seeming not at all to stale its flavor, and Collamarini and Russo are both in hondsomest form. T William Gillette's great success “Secret Service,” the most famous of all war dramas and generally regarded as the best American play vet written, will be presented by the Frawley company at the Grand Opera-house, beginning to-night, for this the last week of that popular or- ganization’s existence. It is one of the Frawleys’ greatest successes, and Mr. Frawley will be seen in the role of Lewis Dumont, the Federal secret service officer, who works for the downfall of the Con- federacy In Richmond as Captain Thorne, and Mary Van Buren will make her re- appearance as Edith Varney, the heroine 0?2 the play. Some striking new stage set- tings are promls.ed 7 Robert Fitzsimmons, supported by Mrs, | Fitzsimmons _and Bobby Jr., will com- mence a week's engagement this evening at the Central in the drama of “The Honest Blacksmith.” During the perform- ance Mr. Fitzsimmons will shoe a horse, | sing a song, spar three rounds and give an exhibitionof physical culture. The mov- ing pictures illustrating the star rounds of the Fitzsimmons-Ruhlin fight will be ex- hibited. The horseshoes made by Mr. Fitzsimmons will be distributed by lot- | Miss | tery at next Saturday's matinee. Reyna Belasco, daughter of the famous playwright, will draw the ballots and Miss Jullet Crosby will announce the winning numbers, Little Reyna Belasco, the clever child dancer, and nlece of Manager Fred Belasco, will ‘appear at every perform- ance. A Florence Roberts will appear this even- ing and this week only at the Alcazar in Wycherly's famous comedy, ‘““The Coun- try Girl.” Theodore Roberts has been spe- clally engaged to play Squire Moody. Next Monday evening Shakespeare's comedy, “raming of the Shrew,” will be revived. A new B[lay by Charlotte Thompson, en- titled “‘Miss Pendragon,” will shortly be produced for the first time on any stage @t this theater. Miss Roberts will appear in the name part.- Ml . To-night begins the eighth week of the triple bill at Fischer’'s Theater, which will be the second longest run of any play in San Francisco. “Pousse Cafe,” “An- tony and Cleopatra’” and “A Royal Fam- ily” will see the last of Fischer's this week. On Monday next there will be the third of the series of the Weber & Fleld's burlesques, when the fwnniest of them all, “Hurly-Burly,” will be seen here for the first time. In addition to this bur- lesque a travesty on ‘“Zaza” will be a fea- ture. Entire new scenery, costumes and original stage effects will be shown and a lot of original specialties introduced. This week's programme at the Chutes is good, including Fred Altro, the tramp juggler; Harry Cogill and Marie Arlea, Australian favorites; Hazel Callaghan and Prosper Forrest, clever juvenile perform- ers; Aguanaldo and Tasma, the contor- attaches to the Tivoli's | will be given to-night, | and “La Boheme's"” first presentation will | HOSTS WELCOME THE DELEGATES Santa CruzGreets Young Men’s Institute Members.

The engine of the excursion train and the bag- gage car were badly wrecked, but_the coaches were only slightly damaged. Sev- eral of the excursionists were cut and bruispd, but none were seriously in- Jjured: George. W. Farris, aged 21, of Cave City, Ky., who was riding in the caboose of the freight train, was killed, and his brother, Daniel E. Farris, aged 28, was probably fatally hurt. The wounds of the injured were dressed at the Ham- mond Hospital, but all were able to con- tinue their trip to Cincinnati. The hos- pital attendants did not take the names of the injured.
