ROSE COGRLAel's MISaAP.
Her Horse Humps Els Back and
Throws Her Over His Head.

From the Philadelphia Record.
NEW York, Aug. Miss Rose Coghlan,
the actress, dressed in mans clothes and
riding man-fashion on the back Of a spirited
horse, was tossed over the animals head
last night, and came within an ace of land
lag on a barbed wire fence and of having
her face trampled by the horse. Miss Cogh-
Ian is spending the summer at her mothers
cottage at Fort Hamilton. Next season
she is going TO appear in play called
"Dorothy's Dilemma" and at the end of
the second act it will be necessary for her
to reach town eight miles away in nine
teen minutes She will be dressed as a
dragon and will call for horse. A gen
tieman will tell her that he hasn't side
saddle. She will throw all the available
dignity into her voice and will reproach
him. Then she will leap into the saddle
and ride Off like streak.
Miss Coughlan is an experienced horse
woman, but she has never ridden man
fashion, and to get the termination of that
second act down properly it will be neces-
sarv TO practice. Fort Hamilton is a de-
serted place at night, so she chose
the night to do her practicing. She had
suit of mems clothes made. cutaway coat
and a soft hat, and she could be seen any
night on the back of her horse prancing
about potato patch in the rear of her
mothers cottage. John T. Sullivan gener-
ally accompanied her.
Friday night she took her first long ride.
She started on her charger at s o'clock, and
was gone fully two hours. Mr.. Sullivan
rode about fifty feet behind her. She was
lust turning the corner Of Marine avenue
when one of the Fort Hamilton trains
turned the corner. The engine let out an in
ternal squeak The horse reared and Miss
Coghlanis hold on the reins slipped. The
horse leaped forward and then came down
on his knees, and at the same instant
bumped his back.
Miss Coghlan shot upward and forward
and turned once in the air. Then she sat
down hard and fell over on her side. She
rolled out of the way of the horses hoots.
A doctor was summoned and found only
bruises.

BALL GAME TO-DAY.
Frisco to Play San Jose Minus
Buck Ebrieht.

San Jose ball cranks are in a great fer
ment of excitement over the release of Buck
Ebright, late captain of Duke Firms base
ball combination. Ebright and the Duke
had some words and Buck asked for his re-
lease.
"All right, Buck, old boy" said Mike,
"you can have it." So Mr.. Ebright slowed
the document away in his inside pocket and
came to San Francisco. He returned to San
Jose last evening, and whether or not he
and the Duke will effect a truce remains to
be seen. In the meantime Dooley will cap
tain the team. McHale, who played one
game for the Colonel last week, takes
Ebright's place at third.
The trouble between Buck and Mike
grew out of a poker game. Ebright Speer
aud one .or two others were playing poker
Sunday night in the rear of a cigar-store in
San Jose. About / o'clock in the morning
the Duke suddenly broke in on the game.
He fined Ebright $40, but the captain talked
back and SAID he would quit before sub
hitting to. fine. Speer, who has been
waiting for his foot to get we'll and draw
Ing salary at the same time, was suspended
without pay. The game then broke up and
the parties interested went their several
ways.
Some of the cranks predict a gloomy
future for the Gardeners. now that Ebright
has Withdrawn from the club, and look for
the immediate downfall of that thriving in
stitution. There is a general feeling that
Frisco will soon be in first place and that
Oakland will occupy its present position in
the per cent column for some time to come.
San Francisco and San Jose will open the
series at the Haight-street grounds this af-
terno0n. The locals then-go TO Sacramento,
while the Gardeners remain and worry
through the week with Oakland. Harry
ODaY will ulay right field for Frisco until
Pop SWEET returns. Following is the make
up of the teams for tu-daY,s game:

TANNING A FIGHTER.
He Ends a Big Spree in the Re.

John Martin, an employe of the Oriental
Hotel, near the corner of Davis and Wash
ington streets, looked as if he had been run
through a thrashing machine when Officer
Callahan walked him into the North Harbor
Station at balf-past 10 O'Clock last night.
John had lump as large as a goose egg
over his right optic. his nose was badly
skinned, while blood poured in streams from
an ugly cash on the left side of his head.
In addition to all this he was wet through.
Some of 'em tried to drown me, but they
couldn' keep me under water long enough,
he shouted when asked his name by the
station-keeper. 81 can lick the whole crowd,
and they know it," he again exclaimed as
he was placed in cell to await the arrival
of the patrol wagon.
Generally John is very peaceable citi-
zen, but last night he got chuck full of his
employers whisky and then went on the
warpath.
The boarders paid no attention to him
until he started to clean out the room, then
half dozen big fellows grabbed him and
gently led him to the horse-trough out on
the sidewalk, into which they soused him to
their hearts content.
The bath took ali the fight out of Martin,
who, as soon as released, made a wild jump
to get out Oh the water and landed on his
bead on the cobbe- stones in the street.
the Police Surgeon had to put eight
stitches in to close up the ugly cut, after
which John was taken below to cell to
sober up.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.
j. II. Maynard Jailed on a
Charge of Embezzlement.
He disappeared With $4,000 in Contra
Costa Bonds, Held in Trust for His
stepdaughter.

John Fl. Maynard, venerable and we'll
known citizen of San Francisco, is locked up
at the City Prison on charge Of embezzling
S24, 600 worth of bonds from his STEP
daughter. He was brought in from Ann
Arbor, Mich, by Special Officer Ryan, who
brought him back on a requistion from The
Go vernon.
About six years ago Maynard's STEP
daughter, Mrs. Ellen Reid, who lives in
Chicago, entrusted twenty-fOur bonds Of
$1,000 each to her stepfather. The bonds
we're issued by the Contra Costa Water
Company. and as Mrs. Reid had confidence
in Maynard she placed her business in his
hands. Everything went smoothly for a
time. Maynard collected the dividends,
which amounted to about $500 annually.
This money was forwarded to Mrs. Reid
every six months, until lately. The time for
the last semi-annual remittance to Chicago
had lapSed about two months. Mrs. Reid
made demand for the money, but failed to
receive it. Later on she ordered Maynard
to turn over the bonds and dividends to-
gether and she would attend TO the business
herself.
HE QUIETLY WENT AWAY.
Maynard tried to put the woman off by
telling her that new water company had
just been incorporated, and that she could
not dispose OF her stock adyantageOusly on
that account. Mrs. Reid insisted, however.
and Maynard, finding that matters were be-
ginning TO press him too closely, quietly
packed up and left for Ann Arbor, where
he formerly lived. Ryan left hera on July
9Th and brought the accused back by virtue
OF papers obtained on warrant issued by
Judge Wallace of the Superior Court and
rcQuistlon from Governor Markham. The
bonds were not recovered.
The prisoner is fine-looking man about
81 years of age, with white hair and beard,
which give him distinguished air. He
married wealthy widow hero some time
ago and has been living at the Palace
Hotel. lie Is weH-known figure IN So
ciety aud Is connected with several clubs in
the city.
When questioned last night in reference
to the crime with which he was charged, Mr..
Maynard said it was family affair which
would be satisfactorily settled in the courts.
Further than this he would not say any
thing regarding the bonds.
WHAT THE PRISONER SAYS.
81 did not fly from justice, as charged,
when l went to Michigan" he said. "On
May 14th ] received a telegram from Ann
Arbor to the effect that my father was lying
at the point Of death, and | Immediately

anu was preparing W 1tluIu. ABOUT ID week
ago l learned that was wante here on a
charge of embeAlement, and WAS on the
point of returning when Mr.. Ryan arrived
and took me in charge"
The old gentleman takes his arrest very
quietly, and lay down for the night shortly
after being locked up.
One phase of the affair worthy of mention
is the TACT that the prisoner was placed be-
hind the bars at O'Clock last night, though
he has been in the city since Monday, stop

FRESNO RAISINS.
John II. Hite's Account of the Growth O.
the Industry.

81
the Industry.
John r. Hite, an old-ti resident of the
State, who for the last three years has been
living in Fresno County, gave some facts
about the raisin industry Of that section to
CALL reporter yesterday. Mr.. Hite
speaks with the authority of experience, for
he possesses three ranches in different parts
of the county, on all of which he is trying
raisin grapes.
"Raisin-growing, said Mr.. Hite, sis the
backbone of the fruit-growing industry in
Fresno County. Growers claim that clear
profit OF from $500 to 500 an acre can be
made when the grapes are in full bearing.
They claim, too, that we can produce better
raisins in the neighborhood of Fresno than
anywhere else in America. OF course
raisins are dried elsewhere in California,
but few places have the dry climate and q
hot enough sun to dry them thoroughly
without using artificial heat. The coast
counties will, for this reason, never be able
to compete with us On equal terms.
There has been large increase in the
acreage devoted TO raisin-gIowing during
the last year. Most of the new vineyards
have been set out in the district lying be-
tween Fresno and Selma, a tract of about
twenty miles in length. 1t Is quite a sight
to drive out south of Fresno and see the i'm
mense number of new vineyards which are
being laid out.
81 don't think there is much danger of
oyerproductlon. People in that section pro-
fess TO have no fear Agents of buyers are
already offering cents pound in the sweat

same price as was given last year. The
