ST.

Albrecht was indicted on the charge of { having stolen $108 on April 8 from his ir..r,m- nate.

At the | conclusion of the inspection the Prince mented Captain Hemphill on the ndition of the battleship. The departure of the P\ fge of Wales | was marked by the sam 8eremony as s arrival. He came on deck, accom- ed by Admiral Cotton, and saluted and shook hands with the admiral and the officers of the Kearsarge and the captains of the other American ships. As | the P ant William V. Pratt of the Kearsarge | shouted, “Three cheers for his Royal | Highness the Prince of Wales.” same cry arose simultaneously on other American snips and the crews of | the four vessels heartily hurrahed, the | Primce standing ia the center of a group of officers with his hand at salute. As the Prince’s train pulled out from the station the American squadruh fired a royal salute and the bands played “God Save the King.” BRITISH JACKIES REPLY. Not to be outdone in courtesy, Admiral Beresford took up a position in front of the British bluejackets forming the royal facing the battleship Kearsarge. Obey- ing a sharp order, the detachment pre- sented arms while the British band struggled. with rather poor success, through the “Star Spangled Banner.” As the eseort marched away the Americans again rendered “God Save the King.” During his inspection of the Kearsarge the Prince of Wales evinced a deep in- terest in the superimposed turrets, and, in response to his request, Captain Hemp- hill conducted him inside the forward double turret. The Prince stepped to en- ter the lower turret and mounted the ladder leading to the upper S-inch guns turret. “Did the German Emperor do this?" asked he. Captain Hemphill replied: William never got so high.” The Prince of Wales asked numerous questions regarding the superimposed turrets, particularly inquiring how rap- idly the guns could be lowered. Midship- man Belknap, in charge of the forward turret, ordered a round of ammunition from the magazine to the 13-inch gun. The operation was rapidly performed, to the apparent gratification of the Prince. “The Prince is a naval officer and knows what he is talking about,” sald Captain Hemphill, INVITATION FROM IRELAND. The chairman of the Town Counecil. of Kingstown, Ireland, to-day telegraphed a cordial invitation to the American squad- ron to visit Kingstown during its visit to Ireland. Admiral Cotton replied, express- ing his warm appreciation of the invita- tion and his deep regret at being unable 1o accept it, as the squadron will sail for Lisbon next Thursday. The British officers gave a ball to-night in the naval barracks in honor of the American visitors. Five hundred persons were present, including the majority of the American officers, Con: General Evans and the Misses Evans, Mrs. Mc- Crea, wife of Commander McCrea of the Machias; Mrs. Cowle, wife of the pay- master of the Chicago; Miss Cowle and Mrs. Hodges. The warrant officers of the Kearsarge gave a smoker to-night to the warrant officers of the British ships. Admiral Cotton has invited several hun- dred officers and officials with their fami- lies to a receotion on board the flagship to-morrow afternoon. “Emperor Sanger de-| escort. who were drawn up on the dock | e appointment of General Oliver, it can be said, is 'quite satisfactory to Sen- ors Platt and Depew, who were con-| d rega g it N PURCHASE Southern Pacific Money Used for Los An- geles Deal. Huntington Ultimately Will Contfol All Lines in the South. Traction Roads of Los Angeles Are to Be Operated Under a Name Different From That of Syndicate. RIS TR Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, July 13.—All doubt as to the intention of E. H. Harriman to join interests with Henry E. Huntington in securing absolute control of the electric railways in this part of the State and particularly in Los Angeles County was removed to-day when the sum of $1,550,- 000 Was deposited In a local bank to thé credit of the Hook family for the trans- | fer of the property of the Los Angeles line in the the Hunt- traction system, the only county which competes with ington system The money came from the Southern Pacific and although the Hooks will re- tain the management of the lines for a short time, the terms of the deal are such that the control will ulti- mately pass to Huntington. In return for this Harriman or his rep- resentatives will acquire an interest the other electric railway corporations now controlled exclusively by Huntington, and Senator W. A. Clark, who essayed to enter the local street rail v and inter- | urban field, will not be a factor in the fours with that which indicated that Em- | control of the properties. Three months ago Harriman and Sena- tor Clark joined forces to compete with Huntington, secured an opticn ‘on the traction company’s property and in direct competition secured some valuable fran- chises from the City Council, one of which cost them $110,00. Huntington then sent in his resignation as vice presi- | dent of the Southern Pacific, but before | it was acted upon he went to San Fran- cisco and held a personal conference with Harriman, the result of which was the declaration ef a truce, It was stated in The Call about that time that the new deal meant a combina- tion of the Huntington and Harriman in- terests and to-day’s purchase of the trac- tion company’s roads confirms that state- ment It has been learned that the traction lines will be operated by a separate cor- poration from the other Huntington com- pani y participating in the profits and t raflway trust will be formed here, for no corporation is power- ful enough to combat such a combination, she price for the traction lines does not include the $100,000 paid by Harriman for an option and a second $100,000 for an ex- tension of that option and the total price | paid is therefore about $1,750,000. ————— Fails to Find Kidd’s Treasure. NEW YORK, July 13.—Another search for Captain Kidd's treasure has come to naught and all there is to show for it is a big hole in the cellar of a store- house connected with a big coffee mill in Brooklyn. Rains have filled the exca- | vation and the manager of the plant has stopped the treasure arch, in spite of the fact that Henry Endum, a¥ eng'ueer, is positive that the “‘spirits” which caused the search were playing no idle joke when they transmitted to him the Captain Kidd had de- posited $50,000,000 worth of loot in the ground on which the building stands.

The remains will be brought to Downieville for interment. —_——— Celebrate Fall of the Bastile. CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., July 13—The anniversary of the destruction of the Bastile was celebrated here to-day. Mr. Benedict, president of the University of Chicago, made a patriotic address and “The Marseillaise’” was sung by the Chau- tauqua choir and an audience of 5000 per- sons. ————————— - Officers Abandon the Pursuit. TACOMA, Wash., July 13.—The hunt for Murderer Smith has been abandoned, tem- porarily at least. Sheriff Denholm with- drew his men to-day and Sheriff Urqu- hart of Lewis County returned home. He left a couple of deputies to work quietly on the case. but the bloo#hounds were taken back to McNeils Island. gt s e American Rifleman Is Third. BISLEY, England, July 13—In the ‘Waldegrave competition, which was won to-day by Major Oxley with an aggregate of 99 points, the American, G. E. Cook, was third with 97 points. Cook used the Krag-Jorgensen service rifle, while his opponents were armed with the finest match rifles. e Not as Crazy as He Seemed. A Toledo real estate man paid $500 for an old dock at Manhattan, Ohlo, a year ago and his friends sald he was crazy. He has been selling the oak and walnut logs of which the dock was constructed and has thus far cleared $20,000, with prospects of making as much more. The dock was sixty years old and the water curing has made the logs more valuable than they were when newly cut.—Balti- more DISTRICT AGENT RUTHERFORD DUE RECENTLY APPOINTED ROCK ISLAND DISTRICT PASSEN- GER AGENT IN 118 CITY. & * Succeeds Clinton Jones in the Office of Rock Island Road. AR A.' RUTHERFORD of Omaha, recently appointed to the post- | tion of district passenger agent 9 of the Rock Isiund road in this city to succeed Clinton Jones, resigned, is expected here to-morrow and will immediately enter upon his new du- tles. The coming of the new agent Is ac- companled with the usnal speculation among the local agents and clerks as to what changes will follow the assumption of duties in the office here by Rutherford. | Reports from Omaha are to the effect that Rutherford has not intimated there that he has any intention of changes in the personnel of the San Fran- cisco agency, but it has been seldom the case where a new man takes charge of an office that he does not have some fa vorite subordinate for whom he is anx- jous to make room and it is naturally supposed that Rutherford is no exception | If any changes are made it | to this rule, is the general opinion that they will be few and of a minor charscter. C. A. Rutherford ¥ comparatively un= known among the San Francisco passen- ger traffic men representing the various roads, but his reputation in the middle West is that he is a clever traffic man, a | fact that he has clearly demonstrated during his connection with the Rock Island office in Omaha in the capacity of general agent. He Is succeeded there by James A. Howard, former passenger agent of the Rock Island road in Kansas City. LR e i e e o] ] RAILROAD MEN BLANE WRECKERS North Shore Disaster Considered by Marin County Jury. P I A Special Dispatch to The Call SAN RAFAEL, July 13.—There was an inquest over the remains of Engineer Fred Hamilton of the North Shore line, who lost his life at Camp Pistolest on July 5, when his locomotive ran into a dead cow. Evidence was presented to Coroner Sawyer and a jury to show that not only was the cow dead before the train struck it, but that it seemed to have been dragged along the company's right of way and placed upon the rails. The raflroad detectives have been work- ihg on this opinion and hope to obtain more evidence. There has been no claim made for the loss of a cow. Usually when an animal is killed by a train the rallroad company receives a blll soon after. The inquest to-day lasted about one hour. Very few witnesses were called, but those who did appear testified to the effect that the railroad company was in no way to blame for the death of En- gineer Hamilton. The jury returned a verdict that Fred Hamilton met his death accidentally by the overturning of an engine. The further interrogation of witnesses | in the case of the Point Reves disaster on June 21 will continue on Thursday. At that time several of the passengers, who have been too ill to appear, will give their testimony. F. M. Angeliotti, Agsoclate Justice . of the Supreme Court, is able to be out of doors and will be an im- portant witness at the hearing. —_————————— Police Seek Traveling Agent. SAN JOSE, July 13.—Burt J. Forbes, former traveling agent for the Edward Thompson Company of New York, pub- lishers of law books, is wanted on a felony charge of obtaining money under false, pretenses. Forbes induced Attorney W. M. Beggs to indorse a draft on the Thompson Company for $10, which was subsequently ~dishonored. A warrant was fssued to-day for the arrest of Burt J. Forbes. —————————— Citizen Injured in a Runaway. SAN LUIS OBISPO, July 13.—A spirited team driven by A. J.

P e —— i The Formation of Mountains. ; Lord Avebury read a paper at the meet- | ing of the Geological Soclety of London, | on May %, on the formation of moun- | tains. According to the report in the Times, he said that experiments had been made long ago by Sir J. Hall, and after- | ward by Daubrie, Ruskin, Cadell and others, by arranging layers of cloth, clay, | | cement, etc., and studying the folds and | | tractures which resulted when they were | | compressed. In all these experiments, ! however, the pressure was in one direc- | | tion only, whereas it was obvious that if | | mountains were due, at any rate in part, | ! to the contraction of the earth, in nature ¢ | the contraction and consequent pressure took place from all sides. Lord Avebury said that he therefore provided himself with a square case compressible on all | | four sides at once. In the central space | he arranged layers of sand, cloth, ete.,{ | and compressed them, thus throwing | | them into folds. He then took in each | experiment four casts in plaster of paris, beginning from the top, and these casts were exhibited to the soctety. They pre- sented an interesting analogy to actual mountain districts, though, of course, | they did not show the results of subse- quent_denudation due to rain and rivers. It had long been observed that mountain- ous districts showed two sets of lines at right angles to one another. Any one who would glance at a map of Scotland would see this clearly. One set was rep- resented by the Great Glen, with the lochs and valleys parallel to it, the sec- ond series at right angles tq it; by the | Sound of Mull, etc. This characteristic of mountain regions had long been known, and there had been dlscurlonl as to whether the folds were simultane- ous or successive. Lord Avebury's casts showed this feature very clearly and it was evident that the cross foldings took place simultaneously.—N. Y. Sun. —_—————————— Remedy for Seasickness. It has been observed that the unpleas- ant sensations when on board of a ship come on usually as the vessel sinks down | into the trough of the sea. The same | gensation is felt in an elevator as it starts on its downward trip. A simple remedy to overcome this trouble is rec- ommended by O. Bornbluth: Just as the vessel sinks one should take a long breath and hold it for a few moments. This inflates the abdomen and fixes the diaphragm, and if continued for some time is effectual in keeping away the un- pleasant nauseous sensations. As a preliminary treatment he also rec- ommends the daily evening administra- tion for a week previous to embarkation of fifteen to forty grains of sodium bro- mide. The diet and the time of taking food should not vary from that to which the individual is accustomed.—Medical News. —_———————— A flock of ostriches at Phoenix, A.

Status of Bethlehem Steel Company Puzzles Even the Lawyers. ——s NEW YORK, July 13.—A long confer- ence between Receiver Smith and counsel was held at the offices of the United States Shipbuilding Company. The con- ference, the receiver said, was one of many which have been held lately in re- ship. He sald that he had signed an order terminating the leases of the subsidiary shipbuilding plants. In the organization of the United States Shipbuilding Com- pany, he sald, the properties of the sub- quired and then leased back to the sub- sidiary companies for eme year, with a proviso by which the leases might be terminated at five days’ notice by the pa- rent company. The properties were leased upon a rental to consist of the earnings of the plants. In order to get into control of the prop- erties the receiver had terminated these leases. The order, the receiver said, did not include the Bethlehem Steel plant. “The Bethlehem Steel Comvany does sidiary companies?” -was asked of the re- ceiver, “Well, we do not know yet,” the re- celver replied. “Even the lawyers scem | in doubt about that. i WILMINGTON, Del., July 12.—In the | United States Circuit Court to-day James | Smith Jr. of Newark, N. J., took the nec- essary oath before Judge Bradford as re- | ceiver of the United States Shipbuilding | Company for the District of Delaware and gave bonds in the sum of $:0.000, the American Surety Company of New York | being on the bond. Smith at once as- sumed his duties as receiver of the local plant. formerly the establishment of the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company. The recelvership. it is said, will make no dit- ference with respect to the affairs of the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company, which will be operated as heretofore. Recelver Smith’s attorneys made appli- | cation for an ancillary -eceivership fn | ‘his is not an | unusual proceeding and is proper in this | case, especially because of the fact that the Delaware plant needed and had to | have financial aid. It is probable that the Maine plant is In the same financial tangle and that a recefver is needed to keep It going. The San Francisco plant | is the best fixed financially, busit Is like- ly that an application will be made ere long, unless some reorganization plan fs | adopted. | Lawyer Untermeyer of Smith’s counsel denfes that the Maine court refused to appoint @ receiver. Receivers have, in fact, been appointed in Delaware and | Connecticut. He says Judge Putnam de- | cided only that he would require notice of application to be given as customary. Judge Putnam will hear the application | to-morrow. In Connecticut and in Delaware Smith's jurisdiction has been extended to the plants within those States. It does not necessarily follow that the California pe- titlon will be similar. It is possible that | it will be for a separate receiver. e MECHANICS RETURN TO WORK. WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN THIS CITY WHO DIED NEW YORK. OF IN * + Oldest Employe of Water Company Will Be Buried To-Day. N the death of P. B. Quinlan, which occurred in New York last Tuesday, San Francisco loses an old and hon- ored citizen. For forty-five years he has been In the employ of the Spring Valley Water Works, cccupying various positions of trust, and for several years he has been the adjuster of its financial affairs, and was longer In its employ than any other man. Early in May he started for the East with the Intention of making a visit to Europe. He was in the best of health when he started on his trip, but by the time he reached Chicago he had become very ill. On arrival at the Hoffman House in New York he was pronounced . to be in a serious condition from effects of aggravated kidney trouble. His family immediately responded to a telegraphic summons requesting them to come on at once. They had him taken {to a hospital and all that medical skill could do was dome, but without avail He passed quietly away, surrounded by his family. The body was brought home to be buried beside that of his wife, who died some five years ago. Mr. Quinlan was born in Ireland in 1833. He came to California in 1853, and went to the mines in El Dorado and put in the first water works at Placerville He then came to San Francisco and went | to work for the company in whose em- ploy he died. He was always & Repub- lican in politics and took an active in- terest in all prominent affairs of the a: He was a member of the old Knick bocker No. 5 Fire Exempts, the El Do- rado Society, the Union League and was an ex-captain of Union Gatling Battery. He was a personal friend of the late Senator Broderick. and was presemt at the famous Broderick-Terry duel. During his extended residence here he had become the friend of nearly all the old residents and enjoyed the fullest re- spect and highest esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He was wide- Iy known throughout the city. He leaves two daughters and one son, Mrs. M. G. Watson, Mrs. Charles D. De- laney and W. S. Quinlan, all of whom reside in this citv. Out of respect to his memory the offices of the water company will be closed dur- ing the hours of the funeral, which will take place to-day from St. Ignatius Church at 10 o'clock.

He | took the coin and examined it more close- | Iy. Sure enough, there were his own ini- tials just above the feathers where he had placed them a half dozen years be- fore. At once his prejudice against begging | vanished. | 1l give you a dollar for that coin! he cried. ¥ The beggar grew wary at this eagerness | and demanded five. Needless to say he | got it and also, of course, the cent piece has never since left the busincss man's watch chain, which it now adorns.—New York Commercial. —— .. — A Moslem Meal.
