The morning call., 1891-11-06

From the station Venaglia was taken to
the City Prison on q charge OF murder. He
is a tall, slim man of not more than 30 years
of age. He came here from Italy three
years ago and returned there two years
later and married. His wife still lives there,
as he left her behind when he made a second
trip TO this country year ago.
The slain man was 43 years of age and
also native of Italy. He had been en-
gagged In the fruit and vegetable business
bert place and leaves a widow and six chii-
dren.
Vcnaglia's assertion that GALL ordered
him out OF Deniartini's store is disproved by
Gracchi, who overheard all the CONVEX
sation. 1t Is thought that the murder
lowed his debtor into the store with the de-
liberate intention of killing him.
Venaglia made the following statement of
the affair last night through Interpreter
Andrew Glover:
My name is Danlele venaglia. and / reside at
414ha Broadway. this city. / am a rancner by

GALL said: "1haps all right. Vonaglia knows

you Will have to pay at least 500 or there Is no

ana the Consul charged me $40 for drawing up
the necessary papers. gave GALL the $50 10
pay the expenses, leaving me $50 Of tho money
paid by Call.
In February last GALL had me sign some
papers, and he then went to Italy. rece ived
word from there that had been swIndled out OF
my property. L have since demanded an &C.

PALACE TO PRISON.
Arrest of Stylish Couple for
ENLIGHTENMENT.

John Heyer and wife changed their
quarters from the Palace Hotel to the City
Prison. but they did not do SO voluntarily.
1t was at the request of the Chief of Police
and dnder an escort Of two detectives. In
brief, they were taken into custody upon
Geographic Information from the Chief Of
Police of Jersey City. Heyer is a smooth
faced young man and rather stylish IN ap-
pearance. He is accused of having en-
beZZled $1,000 from his employers, William
Harvey Il Son, real-estate dealers Of Jersey
City.
HIS salary as manager of the New York
branch was S75 month, yet he lived in lux
url0us style, and in December married a
Jersey belle. Miss Marsh. niece OF Mrs.
Harvey. When the firm notified him that
the New York branch would be closed he Is
accused of having hastily departed west
ward with his wife and $3.50 of his en-
ployers' money. An investigation of his
books followed and the discovery was made
that he was at least $1,000 short in his ac-
veillance here until preparations were
begun for departure. and it was suspected
that Australia was the destina ton.
The telegram from New Jersey also asked
for the detention of Mrs. Heyer, but owing
TO her delicate health it was thought best
not to imprisOn her. Being devoted wife,
however, she has decided to remain in Gus
tody with him until he is taken back to New
Jersey on requisition.
Heyer stated to reporters yesterday that
the charge against him is mistake and due
to some uncolecled checks, which are still
at the office. The only reason he gave for
his hasty trip here was that he deemed a
change necessary in order TO benefit his
wife's failing health.

AMATEUR ATHLETES.

An Interesting Evenings Sport at the
Pastime Club.
The Pastime Amateur Athletic Club gave
Its first entertain ment last evening on Ste
venson street. The gymnasium. which had
been in past years used by the Golden Gate
Athletic Club. was packed with young men
who had Joined the club recently for the
purpose OF witnessing amateur contests.
Some disappointment was manifested
when one OF the clubs officers announced
that what was to have been the principal
event Of the evening, an eight-round con-
test between j. King and NJ Lyons, would
not take place. The latter complained an
hour or SO before the entertainment was
begun that he had been taken with cramps
in the stomach and could not possibly enter
the ring Tor the purpose OF engaging IN a
fstic contest. Both contestants, rather
than disappoint the club. agreed to box the
number OF rounds stipulated on next
Wednesday evening.
An excellent programme of varied amuse-
ments consisting of the following events
was carried out, viz: A clever bar per-
iormance by members, four-ronnd set-to
between Sullivan and Golick, ground and
lofty tumbiing by members, fOur-round
bout between Pincus aud J0eel, a lightning
drill performance on the baton by Pro-
lessor Hadley. four rounds between Ed
wards and King, a contortion act by Young
brothers.
AS a substitute for the announced event
OF the evening good siX-round bout took
place between P. O'Bren, a colored light
weight Hercules from Australia, with a
face as hard as bricKbat, and j. Kelly, a
clever local fighter. who made fairly good
battle few months ago with Billy Maber
at the Occidental Club.
The colored gentleman did not know much
about the art of fisticnffs, but he was willing
to take several hard punches In exchange
for one good right. Kelly had picnic with
his opponent during the first round. but in
the third OBrien happened TO catch him on
the point of the jaw and Kelly went to the
floor. He got up badly dazed, but his OPP
ponent. evidently not knowing much about
the game, failed to take an advantage of
grand opportunity, and the local man re-
gained his equilibrium and kept the burly
black at bay until the round ended.
After the fighters had boxed six rounds
Ch0ynski declared the match draw. Dur
ing the evening the latter was esented
with beautiful floral piece representing a
horseshoe.

CRAMER CAUGHT.
lie Attempts to Kill His Wife
With a Hatchet.
Her Thrillingly Narrow Escape With Her
Baby-Arrested After a Saloon Fight
in Which He Is Disarmed

Charles J. Cramer, alias Madison, the
bad man from Colorado" who was barri-
caded all of last Wednesday night in his sa-
loon on Eighth and Natoma Streets slept
last night in cell at the Seyenteenth-street
Station.
He was arrested late yesterday after
noon on two very serious charges. but not
before he had made a dastardly attempt on
the life of his wife. Yesterday mornings
CALL contained an account of his having
driven his wife from home and a cold
blooded attempt TO murder Policeman Il. II.
Murphy; also of his being barricaded under
police surveillance in his saloon, which he
guarded from within with heavy Colts
revolver.
After the morning change of watch at the
police station Cramer managed to make his
escape from the saloon and disappeared.
Hearing of this Mrs. Cramer went to the
house to get her baby's clothing. This Was
in the afternoon. While In the house her
brute of husband appeared on murder in
tent Grabbing up Ratchet, one almost
large enough to be termed a hand ak, he
struck at her, the corner cutting into one of
her cheeks. She picked up her baby and
fed through the door Just in time to evade
being killed by the Ratchet that few past
her head and struck the casing.
CIdWeT WAS furious, yet He LOOK q 0iS-
cretionary measure and left the place. He
next turned up in a saloon on Mission
street. between Tenth and Eleventh, where
he tried to pick fight. He got it, and in
the struggle his big revolver fell to the floor.
only to be picked up by a looksr-on. The
noise of the tumult brought Policeman
Duane to the scene first, and he put Cramer
under arrest. Behind and soon after Duane
came Policemen Hayes, Murphy and Cole
man, who had been on the lookout for
Cramer. He was taken to the Seventeenth
street Police Station.
The charges against Cramer are an assault
to commit murder. preferred on account of
his attempt to kill his wife, and an assault
with deadly weapon. The latter was on
warrant sworn out earlier In the day by
Policeman Murphy.
III. Cramer was brought to the City Prison
at midnight last night from the Seventeenth
street Station, and after he had been there
half ali hour it was discovered that his left
arm was broken between the wrist and
elbow.
Dr. A. p. O'Brien of the Receiving Hos
pital attended to the injury, which was a
simple fracture. The man bears a bad
record.
He was driven out Of Los Angeles, where
he Is wanted on two warrants, and it Is said
that he killed man in Colorado,

fog is so dense off North Beach that you
cannot see a vessel at hundred PAGES.
That Lime Point signal is fine thing to
make the North Beach people get up early"
"Why SOP
Because the fog is densest Just about
daybreak, and therefore the noise is loud
est The Lime Point signal is what is
called a siren. The principle of it is simple
enough. Ii you make toothed wheel re-
card you get n shrill sound, and the same
thing happens if you have a disc full of
holes and bring the holes successfully oppo-
site a strong blast of steam or compress ed
air. In some of these sirens the pressure Of
the blast is about 20 pounds to the square
inch and the disc makes 2400 revolutions
minute. As the air PUSHES out it passes into
huge trumpet, which immensely increases
the sound. To any one standing near the
trumpet and in the path of the blast the
noise is simply awful. It can be heard
thirty miles away and browns all other
sounds.
"Of course it would not do to have too
many of them in a small spsce-they would
only create confusion. At Fort int, for
instance, there is bell rung by clock-work /;
on Alcatraz 1t is the same. On the bar there

they worse here than at San Diego or

days. The water was breaking very heavily
ON the bar twice while 1 was out, and as to

possible"
"How do you guard against collisions
with passing yessels?"
ooh. there are certain rules. When
you've been lying between sleeping and
waking in the morning about this time Of
the year, you may have often heard the
steam whistles on the bay; first, one, two,
three, then solitary whistle, then the one,
two, three, and so on.
The explanation is just this. To avoid
| collisions the rule is that steamer under
way gives one blast; steamer riding at
| anchor or standing still gives three blasts.
| When two steamers are passing each other
| in opposite directions they each give q
| blast one to port, two to starboard. Sailing
| vessels lying at anchor in the stream keep
bell ringing during the fog, to let passing
craft know their whereabouts

is the better the sound travels. You can
hear the fog bell on the Oakland mole
