after an encounter with typhoon on Sep

surance men who had Induced cOnsignees to
submit to go per cent addition to the insur-
aDce are feeling exceedingly good.
The Charmer anchored well out in the
stream opposite Folsom street. She bore
little indication of the hard weather she
had been through. She carried her skysail
yards, and everything allow and aloft was
taut and shipshape. The Charmer Is a

Tug-of-War POSTPONED.

The tug-of-war was not in the saddle at
the Mechanics Pavilion last night. 1t had
been announced that the tie for second
money between the First Troop Cavalry
and English teams was TO be decided by
Sunday night pull. but though the contes-
tants came to time they failed to have suf-
fcient pulp with the trustees of the
Mechanics Pavilion to induce them to open
the doors for horses or men.
Mr.. Mcneil, the manager Of the tourna-
ment, informed THE CALL reporter that on
account of some difficulty in securing the
Pavilion, the final tug-of-war had been post
poned 10 this evening, when it would take
place in the presence only of the various
competitors and the representatives of the
press.
Many people, including several ladies,
gathered in front Of the Pavilion last night
anxious to obtain admission TO witness the
tugs. They fingered for a long time and
finally left very much chagrined over their
disappointment.

CAUGHT A FOOTPAD.
He Had a Slungshot in His Sleeve
When Arrested.

Policeman O'Dea Of the Southern station
made clever capture early yesterday
morning, and belated citizens who live near
the Market-street cut have the satisfaction
OF knowing that one footpad at least will
not modest them for some time to come.
Shortly after 8 o'clock O'Dea was patrol
ling his beat on Market street when he
noticed man crouching in the doorway of
j. j. OBrien'S dry-goods store, at the cor

The fellow attempted to escape when the
officer approached. but was quickly brought
TO a s,andstll and was tben taken to the
new City Hail police station, where he
gave the name Of George Childs, but re-
fused TO tell where he lives.
When searched by the officer slungsaot
was found concealed in the sleeve OF his coat.

OF lead pipe nearly six inches long to which
