RIGHT TO RESIST.

Mrs. tenia Dodson's ActVindicated

BY THE VERDICT OF A JURY.

The Colored Contractor's WifeComes Out Scatheless

ON A CHARGE OF MISDEMEANOR

A Jury Holds Her Blameless for Re-.. fusing to Permit a Policemanto Search Her House.

'*A fair sprinkling of the colored four

hundred assembled, in Judge Belcher's.*y court yesterday for the- purpose of taking:part iv the hearing of the case against Mrs;Lenia Dodson,'. wife of • Beverly Dodson,

the colored contractor, who was so unfor-tunate as to make her debut in court- in

-answer to the plebeian charge of resistingan officer in the lawful execution of hisduty. ,- . ;•Itappears that some time ago a Mr. Jeff

Thompson woke oue evening to the. dis-covery tbat he bad lost a horse and wagon.By some mysterious, process of inductionhe further made himself sure of a convic

.-_ ..ion that his. arch-enemy, Mr. BeverlyDodson, was the culprit who had unlaw-fully abstracted the said horse and wagon.

''So Mr. Jeff procured a search warrant and•proceeded incompany withl'olfceman.John• Connolly to the suburban residence of Mr.

":;\u25a0', Beverly Dodson at 'Twenty-eighth and

•*.. ;Mission streets."[ .Mr. Dodson had "'the misfortune not to

:. beat home to receive bis guests, but Mrs.1Dodson was there, an.i »o Was her sou

.-.\u25a0 ;Fred r a young but decidedly energeticfi.young mulatto. Now it transpired from;'~ the evidence \u25a0 produced yesterday that

;Officer Connolly had two warrants in his. " jpocket— one alsearch-warrant'for the inves-

,.'• tigation of Mr. Dodson's Ipremises withthe::, 'object of locating the missing' hoi^e andI": '.wagon * the other a warrant fir the arrest

\u25a0•:.• of Beverlv Dodson. And, *tiange to re:lato, Mr. Officer

'Connolly :made the mis-

'\u25a0:• take of putting the wrong warrant into,*y*his pocket and relating to .tlie affrighted.";Mrs. Dodson how that her .husband was-"\u25a0 :wanted instead of reading the search-war-:..rant as he Ought to have done.

.. The result' was'that when the men

.started to search the house there was.. trouble. Mrs.. Dddspn protested vigor-ously and interfered with the search. The

••••horse aDd wagon was there sure enough,\u25a0*• but it was represented by Mrs. Dodson

that they belonged toher husband, and,\u25a0 ihat in taking them he had only recovered

V ..his own property. Mr-. Dodson was aided*jand abetted in her resistance by Master

Fred Dodson, who, after applying a num-. ber of singularly abusive epithets to "the

'cop and bis pat,'.' retired into the backyard• with th? .laudable purposeof taking the. nuts out of the wagon.

Much confusion resulted and there wasconsiderable of a scuffle. In.the end themen departed amid a. shower of rocks andother material blessings burled by the

• practiced band of the vindictive Master• Fred Dodson. The men retired, but only

to return with a warrant for the arrest ofMrs. Lenia Dodson on a charge of misde-

y*meanor, to wit:, resisting an officer. This

"".' was the charge thai occupied the attentionof a jury in Judge Belcher's court yester-day during the whole of the morning ses-sion.

Allthese 'facts as related came to lightduring the trial yesterday, and the de-scription of various eccentricities of speech

and action on tbe part of tbe colored In-habitants, of the bouse on Mission andTwenty-eighth , streets caused no smallamusement in court. .

A by no mvans insignificant witness wasMaster Fred Dodson himself, who, withmalice in his eye, told bow that be had

• ."tackled the cop," and bow that the"cop" bad resented the insult by drawing

, a pistol and presenting the muzzle thereoflv juxtaposition to the manly bosom ofMaster Fred Dodson."Idared bim to shoot," shouted the boy,

excitedly. "Ijust dared him,. and then heput the pistol back in his pocket like acoward. Ididn't have no use for the cop,ncr be for me, d'ye see? So when after a

•while they goes away 1 just lets 'em have; it withall the rocks.Icould find.

'

• "Then* they was rude to mother. Theycalled her all sorts of names, and thatmade me so mad that Itold tbe -cop I'd fix

.bim ifIcould. And you can bet that's, just what I'ddo."

ln this manner did Master Fred Dodson- betray his filial affection and his detesta-. tion of the unchivalrous conduct of police-men in the Mission. Itmay. be added thatMaster Fred Dodson was becomingly at-•' tired" lor. the ordeal by the.sporting of an

•'amazing pairof pantaloons, cut fashionablyshort, and of a flaming crimson hue.Itwas further claimed on behalf of the

defense that this was a case of persecu-tion. It was argued that the policeman

exceeded Irs duty, aod that there was no.more occasion for searching the premises

of Dodson. than .ibere was for exploring

!Seventeenth-street police station. AnEloquent appeal on this behalf was madeby the counsel for the prosecution, and

. after Assistant District Attorney Peixottohad conjured the jury to uphold themajesty of the law, Judge Belcher de-livered his instructions, and the fate ofMrs. Lenia Dodson lav with twelve men.Itbeing put just about lunch lime when

the jury retired, no agreement wasreached until the usual order was made.and the twelve jurors regaled at the city'sexpense. Early-' in the afternoon, how-ever, the twelve agreed.. Verdict:' notguilty; downfall of tyranny and Police-man Connolly, end triumph of aggrievedcitizenship and Mrs. Lenia Dodson.

THE WHITE DIVORCE CASE.

Judge Seawell Shifts the Burden

Onto Judge Hebbard."-\u25a0 A regular wandering Jew is the never-ending divorce suit George E. White,

the Mendocino cattle king, against bis wifeFrankie. After passing through severaljurisdictions ithas at last been confided to

the tender mercies of Judge' Hebbard.. Some years ago this divorce case wastried before the late Judge T. K. Wilson,who granted the decree to tho wife on across-complaint.

'A" order was surise-

quently made for SIBOO down and $200 amonth alimony to the wife, but this orderhas never been compiled with. FromJudge Wiispn's court the case went to thedepartment presided over by Judge San-derson, and when Judge Sanderson hadhad enough of it Judge Seawell took ahand in the fight.

Indue lime White was cited to appearand show cause whyhe should not be pun-ished forcontempt of court in neglecting

to pay his wife the alimony ordered.White did appear, but he stated that hewas unable to comply with the order by'reason of the unsettled state of bis affairs..Tbe court bad put a receiver in to tie up

his property, and he found ithard to meethis every-day demand-* in spite of the factthat he is a man of large property. Onthis showing Judge Seawall rescinded theorder to show cause. yff.

There* is now a motion pending for a finaldecree and for the reduction of tne ali-mony. This motion will be heard beforeJudge Hebbard, who will take part in thecase for the first time to-morrow.'.

MRS. RUSSELL IS BROKE.Her Case Continued Because of Fees

Not Paid.The sensational Russell- divorce case, at

present on trial before Judee D. J.Murphy, received a very sudden checkyesterday morning at the Opening ofcourt.

Pretty nearly all the testimony had beengathered in, and a large crowd bad assem-bled in anticipation of some further devel-opments in the examination of Henri I.Stuart, who has been served with a sub-pena to reappear on the witness-stand,when the clerk, of the courtroom, JackSullivan, informed the Judge that the feesbad not been paid."Ican't go on with this case until the

fees are paid," said his Honor."Well, mv client has no money," said

George A. Knight, referring to Mrs. Rus-sell.

••Can't help it; the fees must be paid,"was Judge Murphy's remark.

"We nave no money; not a cent," re-peated Knight.

On betialt of the defendant Russell At-torney M. A. Darn remaikmi that if hisHonor would only dismiss the action for adivorce he would gladly pay the fees.Mrs. Russell had received $200, aud surelyshe could pay £20 out of this.

"I'llcontinue the case until to-morrowmorning," said Judge Murphy, "The feesmust be paid by then." So the partieswent away. Itis understood that the de-fense has some more witnesses to call as tothe conduct of Mrs. Russell over in Oak-land. But George A. Kuight says he hasnot yet done with Henri Smart.

PERFECT FRUITS.

On the Road for FifteenDays in a Car.

Inspection of the Experimental Ship-ment to New Orleans at the

Depot Yesterday.

After a journey of over 5000 miles, re-quiring fifteen days, the experimental carloaded with fruit3 and • flowers whichstarted from Oakland over two weeks agoreturned from its trip- to New Orleans.This car was loaded with the purpose inview of testing thoroughly the efficacy ofsterilized atmosphere as a substitute' forice for use in refrigerator cars, and the re-sults secured were in every way of themost satisfactory nature.

There was a representative crowd ofgentlemen present when the car was !opened yesterday morning, including thepresident and other officials of the StateBoard of Trade, several gentlemen whoare interested in the carbonic acid plan re-cently tested in the same manner as theone now spoken of, and a number of thehead officials of the Southern Pacific Com-

!panv. Dr. Perkins, who was the inventorof the process under consideration, wasalso present.

He superintended the fitting up of thecar ana its loading, and went with it allthe way through to New Orleans in orderto see that everything was all right ana Ioobserve closely, the effecis of the processunon the contents of the car.

Dr. Perkins said that the car had beenopened about thirty times during the trip,and tor this reason the condition of itscontents now was manifestly not a fairtest as to the merits of the plan, but itproved upon examination that no explana-tion of this character was necessary, asbotb the fruitand flowers were found tobe in a most excellent condition.

There was hardly an article in the carwhich showed the slightest indication ofdecay. Boxes of graves were taken outwhich were as firm as the day they werepacked and which proved to bave retainedall their usual flavor. Dr. Perkins statedthat these grapes were picked la the earlymorning while the dew was still lreshupon them, and this- statement broughtout the remark from one cf the gentlemen !present that they should have been firstdried in the sun before packing, as muchinjury was likely to result from the mois-ture spoken of after being packed for aday or two. No trace of bad effects in thisparticular were noticeable. This was alsotrue of all the fruits in the car. and, asfor the flowers, they still retained theirfragrance and fresh appearance. Splendidchrysanthemums were brought to thelightwithout a drooping leaf, looking, as.the onlookers said, as if they bad justbeen plucked from the garden.

The most interesting phase of this ex-periment rests in the probable cost of ship-ments, and if what is claimed for the pro-cess proves true the fruit-growers andflorists of this State willhave great causefor self-congratulation. It is said that themaximum cost of shipment by this processwillbe $28 a car, and itis thought that 5-0 iwillin most cases be amply sufficient topay the cost in this respect. Shipment int*ie old manner hy refrieerator cars costsapproximately $200 each, thus making asaving of at least $175 a car.

Frequently in packing a car with ice asmuch as two tons are wasted without se-curing an result, that is, it requires thatamount to get the car down to the neces-sary temperature before the fruit cau beput in. Another saving of magnitude bythe new process will be that of space, asno ice willbe required, thus giving a car acapacity fully one-quarter greater than itpossesses under the present methods. This,of course, willnecessitate the constructionof new cars especially fitted up for thepurpose designated.

Competent authorities state that thereare each year on an average 20,000 cars offruit shipped out of California, and esti-mating the saving on each car at $150, theneat sum of $3,000,000 is saved to thegrower. ;;>y

A feature of the sterilized atmosphereprocess wbich will have quite a bearingupon Its success is that under the methodfruits, itis claimed, will ripen while intransit, the effect of the air being at tbesame time to prevent, or rather in greatmeasure retard, the work of decay.

The greatest interest was manifested inthe experiments, as Dr. Perkins reports,not only by the commission men of NewOrleans but by all the fruit-growers whoinspected the cars. During the short stayin thattitv dozens of tbem looked overthe contents of the cars, and all along theline where stops were made inquiries werefrequent as to the condition of the ship-ment. ItIs probable that another ship-ment will be made soon to Chicago, after jsome necessary changes

~suggested by the

first triphave been made.

SOME STORIES FROM PERU.

Poisoning of an American Tar i

Not Avenged.

INSULTS FROM ..CLEVELAND!

Captain Lee Is Going to Make It Hotfor an Ex-Confed-

erate.

Captain Lee of the bark Templar, thatwas seized at Callao and sold through thework of the United Kites Consul at thatport, agreed yesterday to give further de-tails concerning his connection with thevessel. On July 4 last The Call pub-lished, exclusively, a full account of thetrouble the Templar bad got into with thePeruvian authorities. It was noted thatthe craft was to be sold, and reference wasmade to the high-handed manner in whichConsul Leon Jastremski forced the sale.

A number of complaints have recentlybeen received- from American captainsrelative to tbe insolent aud overbearingactions of representatives of this countryappointed to fillpositions in South andCentral America. Captain Lee was throwninto a prison, harshly treated, and forcedto leave the country, when it was clearthat be was in tbe right throughout.

"Before having anything further to sayabout the Templar Iwillrelate to you anunpublished ineidentconcerning the Amer-ican steamer Relay," said Captain Lee.

"The Belay is the cable-repair boat thatbelongs at New York City. Her com-mander's name is Talsure."One day while the steamer was lying In

Callao harbor one of her crew went ashoreon a half-day's leave of absence. He hadnot been gone two hours before word wasreceived that the man bad been poisonedwhile drinking in a native saloon. Hewas lyingdead at a public place.

"Very naturally the delay's captainwas indignant, He hurried ashore andlooked up the Consul and stated the cir-cumstances of the case to that officer.

"'1 don't know anything about theman. I've got nothing todo with the case,'replied Jastremski. Captain Talsure In-sisted that the matter be looked into,whereupon the Consul became angry andordered the American out of his office.

"Straightaway to the English Consul, aMr. Wilson, went Captain Talsure, and ina few brief rds stated his case. Mr.Wilson acted immediately. lie investi-gated the affair and gave the skipper allthe aid in his power to secure for the mur-dered man a decent burial ashore.

"Another case which 1now recall," con-tinued Captain J_.ee, "was that cf anAmerican woman who bad beard that herhusband had died in a town some distancefrom Callao. She went to the AmericanConsul and requested him to forward atelegram for particulars of her husband'sdeath. She thought that be would per-haps be able to rush the message throughbet er than she.

"Much to the lady's surprise, she wastold that she would have to attend to thesending of the dispatch beiself. The Con-sul refused to nave anything to do withthe case.

"To give you some idea;of wbat a lawlesscondition the country is in down there,the night before Ileft for San Franciscofifty armed bandits or alleged revolution-ists raided the city. They made an attackon several liquor-store?, stole everythingin sight, beat the policemen on duty, andthen escaped to the mountains. Lawlesspersons infest the entire republic."

Captain Lee bas made up an elaboratereport to be forwarded to Washington.He alleges that Leon Jastremski is au ex-Confederate soldier and an appointee ofthe Cleveland administration.

The story of ihe trouble over the Tem-plar is reviewed as follows: Mate Phillips,upon whom Captain Lee placed a greatdeal of dependence, got sick on the voyage

down and was relieved by Mate Harrison.The latter Droved very unruly aud muti-nous, so Captain Lee was forced to relievehim from duty between February 16 andApril, 19. The commander bad a hardtime until port was reached.

While in port some of the crew forcedtheir way intohis cabin and tried to compelhim to pay them money. A number of themen had secured liquorand desired to goashore to keep up their spree.

On tbe Sth of May tbe seamen weresummoned before the Consul by the cap-tain to receive their money. Itwas ex-plained that numerous articles bad beenstolen from the ship, and it was also re-lated that certain sailors had been rebel-lious. The Consul refused point blank to*discharge the crow, and said that theTemplar would have to carry them backto the United States. In the articles ofagreement, signed at San Francisco, it wasexpressly stipulated that the crew shouldbe paid off if they deserted the ship. Thisthe men had done. Captaiu Lee refusedto he bulldozed, and bis ship was libeled.and sold. .•,

Trouble ensued over tne sale, and theAmerican was promptly ordered into cus-tody by the Peruvian authorities. TheConsul was a party to the arrest. Indig-nant and much excited over the outrage,Captain Lee was hustled away to a dirtydungeon and placed under guard of a squadof dirtier soldiers. \u25a0

"Iasked them for a drink of water,"said Lee, "and a soldier accompanied meto a drinking-place with the point of hisbayonet pushed against my back. Thewater was dirty, so Igave the man adollar to buy some beer with. He securedthree bottles, gave me a glassful and keptIbe rest himself. ,-y yvf'

"Through the help of friends Igot away

from Callao and back to San Francisco. Iam going to press my claims against thePeruvian Government, and will let youhear from me later."

SAWS WOULDN'T WORK.The Associated Wood- Yard Not

y-'y.;Opened Yesterday." yy fThe Associated Charities are having all

sorts of trouble in opening the woodyardat the corner of Main and Mission streets.It was first the intention of the society tostart up business Monday, but all calcula-tions were upset by the horse to be usedin conveying wood to and from the yard.The animal was out to pasture on a ranchnear the city and when, sent after he wasnot to be found. He was discovered yes-terday after an extended -search. As soonas the stray steed had been recovered themanagers announced that operations wouldcommence atthe yard yesterday.'

This time the horse was not at fault forblockading the wood-sawing, but this timethe saws would not work. The teeth,dulled from last year's service, refused to

make their way through the tough oakknots. The wood knives were taken awayto the filer to have the edges sharpened,and to-day, unless the unexpected happens,cordwood willbo slashed upat alively rateby the unemployed.

Tbe society has now on hand over thirtycords of wood. It was procured up inNapa County, ana br..uubt down to thecity upon the boat. Itis mo. ly oak. Thewood will be sold at the regular marketprices to the Associated Charities' sub-scribers.-^ .'•

Employment will I*. given to abouttweniy-five person?. The society has re-ceived thus lar only few applications forwork.

Alt indications point to a less degree ofsuffering among the poor thin winter. Thestreet-sweeping contract has, doubtless,alleviated much of the misery. The soci-ety, however, expects to have a full quotaof men at work before the week is over.

Heis defective in method, however, not be-cause he hasn't had experience sufficientto enable him to perfect himself, but be-cause be had not profited by it.

He applied yesterday for a license' towed and the long series of questions whichthe clerk began to spring upon him andwhich be should have been accustomed tvby this time, for be bas been through thepr cess before, at once made him illat ease.

lie confessed to having been marriedbefore, and that bis wile was still living,but said tint she had secured a divorce.

"Where?" :VV".'"Here, inSan Francisco."The clerk, as is required of him, looked

up the divorce list, but could not find theKidder name, and so informed him.

Then Kidder told him tnat the divorcehad been secured in New York. Did hehave a copy of the decree? Xo. Thenhow did he know she was divorced?

"Well, because she's married again,"said Kidder.

"That's all you know about It,eh? Bowcan you swear that she is divorced ifyoudon't absolutely know it?"

"Ob, I'd swear to anything to get thelicense," said Kidder.

ANUPWARD BOOST

Material Aid for the SanJoaquin Road.

A Fifty-Thousand-Dollar Subscrip-tion From the Savings Union,

and More inSight.

There was a noticeable air of encourage-ment about the headquarters of the TrafficAssociation yesterday as a result of thesplendid subscription of §50,000 made by thestockholders of the San Fiancisco SavingsUnion to assist in the c instruction of thenew road to the San Joaquin Valley.

Not only was it in the association roomsthat this elated feeling was visible, but allthe friends of the roid seemed to view theaction of the Savings Union as the onestep necessary to induce other equallylarge subscriptions to he made, and it wasthe generally expressed belief that thesewould be forthcoming in a few days.

.The action of the directors of the Sav-ings Union was the result of a meetingheld in which the matter was discussed atlength, and it finally was determined nmake the subscription out of the individ-ual funds of those interested, and not fromthe asset* of tbe bank, that being contraryto law. This resolution was made publicthrough a letter from the secretary andcashier of the bank, Novell White.

Now that the Saving* Union has takenthe initiative itla very probable that otherof the financial institutions of the city willfall iutoline at least it looked thai wayyesterday, judging from the remarks oftho. questioned on the subject.

James liKelly, president of the Iliber-nia Bank, said that the matter would re-ceive the attention of the officials of thatinstitution as early as practicable, and thatIfthe result of their deliberations led to thebelief that benefit to the city was likelytoresult from the enterprise the bank wouldnot be found in tbe background in tender-ingits aid.

The presidents of the French Savingsand Loan Society and of trie German Sav-ings and Loan Society were both apprecia-tive of the benefits which the competingroad offered to the State, and the lattergentleman said that the matter would re-ceive the attention of the directors at theirnext meeting.

There was a rumor afloat yesterday thatstillanother of the large savings institu-tions had indicated it_ willingness to aidthe enterprise, but that certain conditionswere involved ivthe offer. Itis said thatthis particular bank has large amounts ofmoney loaned in a section of the valleythrough which tne new road could just asreadily pass as not. and the conditions re-ferred to were that, when built, the roadshould traverse this section. This land, itis said, is in a condition at present such aswould prevent its bringing anything likethe face value of the mortgages held bythe Dank.

Traffic Manager Leeds was jubilant over,tho outlook and seemed confidant that thedanger point in the prosecution of thework had been successfully passed.

"We have got more than a starter now,"said he, "and it has given the road astrung impetus upward."

The work of obtaining subscriptionswill now be prosecuted with renewedvigor, and it is probable that individualsof moderate means will be given an op-portunity to take small portions of stock.This plan of popular subscriptions hasbeen urged by several of the members ofthe executive committee as very promising,and it is now probable that it will beadopted.

NAPOLEON AS A MAN.Something Entertaining to Anticipate

for Monday Night.The opening season willbe marked by a

notable "talk" upon Xapoleon to- bedelivered by the veteran litterateur, JohnBonner, next Monday evening at GoldenGate Hall on Sutter street

Just now Napoleonic lore and reminis-cence are all the rag-. Napoleon as ageneral, as an Emperor, as a public"personage" has beeu fully portrayed. Onthis occasion it is proposed to present himas a man— to show him in his private lifeand Intimate relations.

The task is in safe hands. With bright,impressionist touch, and through themedium of little unconsidered side-lights,, the fascinating character should, underIns lecturer's guidance, he lightly roundedout till the great lover of Josephine standsforth in his most human and must intel-ligible aspect.

Everybody in the swim, in fact all wholook forward to a bright, breezy evening'sentertainment with instructive detailshandled inut-to-ddte style, will doubtlessmake a point of securing tickets forMonday's event. The "talk" is likely toattract a large attendance of culturedpeople. ' '

BAD FOR SHIPS.

A Long List of RecentDisasters

i

ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST.

The Record Has Never Before

Been Equaled.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GONE.

Within Less Than Fifty Days aScore of Vessels Have Been

Lost or Damaged.

Tbe marine disasters that bave occurredIn the waters bordering the Pacific Coastduring the month of October and duringthe past days of the present mouth ot No-vember have never been exceeded innum-ber or total of loss in dollars and cents byaoy record of a corresponding period ofprevious years. Coast storms, t to, havescarcely commenced to blow with thevigor of midwinter gales. Judging fromthe long list of wrecks already recordedfur the beginning of the season tbe en 1will show an appalling loss of life andproperly. V.v

The loss of tbe British steamer Crownof England cannot be attributed to thestorm. ln her particular case, the fog i-accountable for the wreck, but in nearlyevery other instauce tbe winds and thewaves caused all the trouble.

Commencing with the wreck at sea ofthe ship Ivanhoe, Captain Griffiu, whichoccurred about October 1, twenty-two

lives were sacrificed and about $1)0,000worth of properly destroyed. Thb Ivan-hoe left Seattle on September 29, with twoladies and Frederick Grant of the SeattlePost-Intelligencer as passengers.

During a galo which blew fiercely soonafter she passed Cape Flattery the shipis supposed to nave opened up and gone tothe bottom with all Lands on board. The :

skipper ot the schooner Samuel Duta.dsubsequently reported that be saw theIvanhue disappear on the afternoon ofSeptember 28, about ninety miles south-east of the cape.

On October 11 dispa'ches were receivedtelling of the grounding of the schoonerS. Dautelson on the Spit at the entrance tothe Stuslaw liiver. Tne vessel was blownashore while crossing over, and for severaldays it was thought she would be a totalloss. She was finally pulled off the bar,

but nut until she had suffered extensivedamages to bull and rigging. Her entiredeckload of lumber was 1 st.

Tne next bigloss in shipping circles wascaused by the beaching oi the pretty 2119---ton schooner Nora 11 .rkins, which ou thenight ot October 16 was dashed on therocks at the south entrance to lloquiatuharbor and completely destroyed. Hercrew barely escaped with their lives. Oneman, a sailor, named Canton, was lost in \

tbe breakers while tryiug to swim ashore.The Harfcius was insured for £4000. butshe was worth double that amount.

On the same date that tbe Nora H.«r-kins ran aground the schooner Plectra,commanded by C«ptaiu Wilson, struck therocks near Cambria and knocked her en-tire, bottom out. She proved a total loss,but all of ber crew were saved. She wasInsured for $2000, and was not worth verymuch more as sue bad been In active ser-vice siuce 1875.

October 16 seemed to be an unlucky dayfor ships, ior on tbat date the schoonerPortia came to grief also. While ap-proaching Stewarts Point under commandof Captain Carlstrup the Portia was blownon a ledge and went to pieces soon there-after. The Portia was only a small vesselof 66 ious, built in Benicia in 198& Tne52700 lor which she was insured coveredher loss fairly, not taking her cargo intoconsideration.

The day following th? three wrecks justloidab. ut the wind assailed the schoonerCiietco, which as trying to make West-port, and drovji.er on Needle Kock. TheCheico was another Bduicia-built craft.There is lntle hope that she willever besaved to become as valuable to her ownersas she was before the accident.

The abandoning of the brig T. W. Lucas,at 8 o'clock on the morning of October 24,set another derelict drifting: about the Pa-cific. The vessel was lumber laden andbound for this port On tbe days of the19th to tin.' 24 h she weathered a successionof heayv winds and high seas. At thetime mentioned on the 24th sho sprang aleak and gave signs of going to pieces.tier crew left her in boats and were after-warIpicked up by the steamer Homerami taken toY-iqiiina.

On October 30 news came from Eurekathat the four-masted schooner Excelsiorhad grounded near the middle ground-,entrance to Humboldt Bay. The tugliauger went to her assistance, but couldnot get her off. Three tnwboats tried- tomove her the lollowiog day, but did notsucceed. The vessel was lying in an easyposiiiou, however, and resting on \u25a0 sandybottom. After the expenditure of a largesum vi money she will probably be saved.

The steam-schooner Silver Spring, Cap-taiu Ilardwick, was lost at 9:30 o'clock onthe night of November 2. at Rockport.Her crew put to sea in boats to escapebeing dashed ashore by the waves that aheavy gale had raised. They were pickedup by the steamer Cleone and taken toport. The Silver Spring was a 184-tonvessel and was built in 1888. She was in-sured for $12,080 by her managing owner,W. A. Mitchell.

An unusual amount of damage was doneto vessels in the coast trade during the re-cent storm. Almost every ship that passedthrough the blow reported the loss of sailsor some part of the rigging. >:^V
