The Steamer Apache Involved in
Another Accident.
Exciting Runaway at the Ferry - Rough
Weather Oh the Northern Coast-A
Quick Run to Queenstown.

Captain Fl. II. Williams of the Frederick
Billings, for whom warrant was issued
last Friday for wounding and beating two
sailors, was arrested yesterday by United
States Marshal Long and afterward re-
leased on $4,000 bail in each case.
There was lively runaway at the ferry
Yesterday afternoon, In which Daniel Nc
Can had a very narrow escape from deaf h.
MeCan drives car for the Omnibus Cable
Company, and, on reaching the ferry, I'M
hitched his team TO turn them around. Just
at this time something frightened the horses
and they made a wild dash for Market
street. McCan held on to the horses and
tried in vain to stop them.
AS they turned up Market street he was
thrown down and, to the horror of those
looking on, was dragged up the street,
having become entaDgled in the lines.
Fortunately for him. one of the horses fell
at the corner of Market and California
streets. and he was picked up but very little
the worse for his accident. He immedi-
ately assisted in getting the fallen horse on
his feet, took the team back TO the ferry
and resumed his work.
THE APACHE BACKS INTO THE DORA.
Bad luck seems to follow the steamer
Apache, as she came within an ace yester-
day of getting smashed up again. After the
damage sustained in the collision with the
schooner Nicnleue fau oeen repaired, she
started from La Rue's wharf ON her way to
Sacramento al o'clock, and In backing out
from the wharf she went full tilt into the
bows of the barkentine Dora, lying at Mis-
sion 1. The boat-davits on the steamer
caught the Dora'S anchor and there was
lively times for a minute or two. Thanks
to the energetic work of the Dora's crew,
the vessels were separated before any
serious damage was done, and the steamer
proceeded on her way up the river.
REMARKABLE RUN.
A dispatch from Queenstown to the Mer-
chants Exchange states that the British
ship Falls of Garry has arrived at that port
Francisco. There was quite a furry on
Change when the news arrived that the
AlcnOus had made the run to Queenstown
in ninety-ive days, but the Garry has beaten
the record made by the ship Erickson
several years ago. when she made the

| not nearly as fast as the record Of eighty-six
| days from this port to Liverpool. made by
