By Grain Intended for Orockett Is Shipped Instead to Port Costa. B The mysterious and extraordinary mis- doings of the Eppinger contingent still come to light. The bankers interested in the fallure of the grain firm have dis- covered another one of their “cute” dodges. This is in the shape of the hand- ing over to the American National Bank a barge load of wheat at the very mo- ment they had passed their business into the hands of the receiver. It is alleged that on June 3 there were shipped on the barge Alabama from Mon- roeville warehouse 6317 sacks of wheat, consigned to Eppinger & Co., for Crockett warehouse. And it is alleged that while this shipment was en route Mr. Bowles of the American National Bank began to press the Eppingers for an accounting. To temporarily arrest any proceedings on his part they agreed to divert the course of the barge Alabama and her load of wheat from the Crockett warehouse and deliver the same to the keeping of Mr. Bowles. - At this very instant, however, the other creditors came in and forced an issue, but for some reason known only to the Eppinger company they issued or- ders to have the barge proceed to the McNear warehouse at Port Costa and de- liver the wheat to Mr. Bowles. Here all but 1100 sacks were unloaded, this latter amount being tRen sent over to the Crockett warehouse. - While the barge was lying alongside the Crockett warehouse, it is alleged, parties representing the American Na- tional Bank caused this same barge to be loaded with grain to her fullest capacity and were in the act of taking it away when the recelver appeared and forced the banking contingent to put back all the grain on the “dock, excepting the 1100 sacks that had originally been on the barge. On Jure 9 the steamer San Joa- quin No. 2 removed the 110 sacks from | the Alabama and took them away, no one seems to know where. On or about-June 8 and-June“15 barges | containing 4972 sacks of wheat belonging | to the Eppingers, intended for Crockett, were shifted over to the McNear ware- house and placed to the credit of the American Natiorial Bank. This latter deal was reported to have been made to satisfy Mr. Bowles, when he suddenly as- certained that there was no wheat in the Crockett warehouse to secure his bank | for advances he had just made on wheat in that warehouse, which was supposed by him to have been delivered there only a few days previous to the failures —_— e——— New Coney Island.

The World’s Greatest Circus Will Be Here in September. “Jerusalem and the Crusades,” which the Ringlings say -is the largest and grandest spectacle ever devised and pro- jected in America, is the main novelty presented in the world's greatest shows, which will appear in San Francisco for eight days, from September 7th to the 1ith inclusive. ‘“Jerusalem and the Crusades’ vividly tells the story of the Holy Wars. It commences at the Council of Clermont, in France, where Peter the Hermit is ex- horting the people on to the Holy War to recapture Jerusalem from the hands of the Saracens, who at that time hold it. 'x;s:: opening scenes show knights of oid by tie hundred, radiant and costly costumes, and over six hundred horses gorgeou: caparisoned. A horse ballet is intro- duced during a change of scene and next the spectators are introduced into the in- terior of the Emir's palace thin the walls of the Holy City. Here for the en- tertainment of the voluptuous court is presented a ballet employing three hun- dred young and agile dancers and a grand chorus of two hundred fresh young voices. While the revelry is at its height the sounds of battle are heard outside and the Christian troops break through the walls and once again capture the Holy City. Magnificent scenery plays an important part in the production and all of‘the costumes are historicaly correct. “Jerusalem and the Crusades,” together with all the rest of the wondrous novel- ties, which include more than 100 sensa- tional circus acts prepared for the amaze- ment of amusement goers by the RlnF- ling Bros. this season, will be presented {n Frisco when the world's greatest shows come to town. —_————————— Californians in New York.

Many rushed into the street to inquire the source of the shot, but no one seemed able to solve the mystery. As inquiry after inquiry failed to bring forth the origin of the dis- turbance, nerves became more tense and visions of Red Shirt Gordons and other things began to appear, and there were hysterical apprenensions of get- | ting the other barel The police finally made an Inspection of the apartment house situated on the southeast corner of Laguna and O'Far- rell streets, and in a room on the top floor solved the mystery. A young man ‘resident of the house had been offering entertainment to another young man friend of his who gave the name of A. Von Dulm. Just what the exact nature of the entertainment was, wasy not learned, further than that, from Von Dulm's after refreshments had been served the young men proceeded to make an inspection of a gun which they had secured for the purpose of ‘going hunting in Oakland,” and that in exam- ining the weapon to see that it was properly loaded to protect them from the big game that abounds in that wild suburb the piece went off. The police evidently thought the hunters were jus- tified in taking every safeguard, and, re- gretting the accident, left without mak- ing any arrest. MISSION RESIDENTS BIG FACTOR AT POLLS At Meeting Last Night They Are Urged to Vote fo? Bond Issue. The Mission Park Club, an auxiliary of the other improvement clubs of the Mission district, met last evening at the Turn Verein Hall on Eighteenth street. During the evening many speeches were made by residents of the district on the importance of working at once to in- duce the Board of Supervisors to make generous appropriation to improve the district. v The Rev. Father Crowley was among the speakers. He said that he did not believe in talking but in working; that 'should his services be wished he would, be glad to serve on any committees that the club wished him to act on. . He was followed by H. Mulcreavy. { He urged the members of the club to use their efforts to induce all their friends to vote in the coming election in favor of the bond issue, and stated that one-third of the vote of San Fran- cisco resided in the Mission district and they would all be greatly benefited should the bond issue go through. J. O, Connor and E. P. E. Troy also spoke during the evening. —_—— Bringing In Bunko Men. George W.
