GOD COMMANDED ME-"
Palefaced Woman Drives Her Rcla

ives INTO the street
Gods spirit commanded me to do it, your
Honor" said Ellen Cathey. a palefaced.
fashionably attired young woman. as she
took the Witness-stsnd in Department l of
the Police Court yesterday morning. With
her sister and niece, Mary Young and Mary
A. DObSon. Miss Cathey lives in a costly
furnished house at 913 Folsom street. For
several weeks she has acted so strangely at
times as TO give her relatives considerable
uneasness. Last Wednesday afternoon she
retired to the woodShed and declared that
God had commanded her to rule the world
with an iron rod. When her sister and niece
asked her to return 10 the house she charged
upon them with pair or scissors, declaring
that she was queen Of the universe aud not
to be disturbed. All three ladies fed to the
sidewalk, and an effort was still being made
to calm the scissors wielder when officers of
the southern district arrested the trio for
disturbing the peace.
Sister and niece told their story on the
stand yesterday. They said they were in
hopes of restoring Miss Cathpy without
having to invoke the aid of the police.
When called upon for an explanation,
Miss Cathey started out with the remarks
already stated.
Now, are you sure it was the true spirit
of God that caused YOU to drive your rela-
tlveS into the street," asked Judge RiX.
Yes, ii was Gods spirit" she said, in
solemn. measured tones, but feel tina.

That's all" said Judge Rix and the at
tOrneys in chorus, and the woman retired,
looking more pale than usual.
Judge Rlx said the officers were justified
in arresting the three women, hut Miss
Cathey's relatives had had 10 desire to dis
turb the public peace. The charges against
the three defendants would therefore be dis
missed. If Miss Cathey did not behave
properly i'll the future her relatives could

The Pacific Mail Steamship C0mpany's
steamer City of New York arrived from

All the crew were saved. While on shore
the natives robbed them OF provisions, etc,
and they were nearly destitute. Captain
Scott said that he saved the money to pay

He denies emphaticaily the story of beating
or ill-treating the crew. and states that the
indictments were put ashore al San Diego
on the way down.

reputation as error TO evil-doers. When
he took his seat on the bench in Department
. Of the Police Court yesterday morning the

filed.
Suey Young, convicted of keeping Chi
nese lottery place, next stood up for SEN

sentence Is that you be imprisoned six

The Drowning Of Alvin wiIlfanger and
the Loss of the Venture Investigated.
L. S. Talbot and W. A. Phillips, United
States Local Inspectors of Steam Vessels,
have concluded their investigation Of the
drowning of Alvin WilIfanger from the
ferry steamer San Rafael on March 20 last.
and reported their findings to Captain LII.
5. Lubbock, the supervising inspector of
the First District Their conclusions are
that Willfanger fell directly in front of the
paddle, and most proba bly, met with instant
death; that the alarm was promptly given,
and Captain Mckenzie made a prompt and
thorough search for the man. The steamer
was stopped IN as short a time as it was
possible to do so. but il was travelling at
f5-knot rate at tbs time, and there was no
chance to throw ont ife-bu0ys Ia conse-
quence. The captain Is, therefore, exoner-
ated from all blame.
The same officers also sent In their deci-
sion yesterday regarding the loss of the
steamer Venture and FIVE of her crew at
Rockport, Cal, on March 81 They find
that the accident was caused by sudden
stress Of weather which caused her to part
her breastlines, drag her inoorings and drift
on the rocks. The line-carrying proiectile
was washed away before there was chance
to use IT, No blame is attached, therefore,
TO Captain George Johansen, the master.

A Mechanical Device to Promote the
Health of Fire Laddies.
Among the modern equipments of houses
occupied by the members of city fire depart
ments are poles which extend from the
ground floor TO the upper stories. These
are to facilitate the rapid descent of the
firemen when reused from their sleep by
the electric fire bell. Instead of tumbling
down stairways they slide down the poles
like streak of creased lightning. 1t Is not
a new device, but its introduction has at
one time or another caused great deal OF
sickness in the Fire Department., such as
catarrh, influenza and bronchial troubles.
The reason for this visitation Of pulmonary
Affections has been traced to the constant
draughtS which pass through the circular
shaped shafts in which the poles are erected.
There was no way apparently of providing
remedy, as any attempt TO close these cold
air shafts would cause delay at the very in
slant they are needed by the time required
in lifting traps.

Captain OBrien stated that the Wetmore

her bottom concreted to prevent the rivet
