The ship Joseph II. bpinney Abandoned
in Too Great Haste.
Fort Ross, CAL, Oct. 27.-The ship
Joseph f. Spinney was sighted yester-
day morning about five miles south of
here. She was some distance from
shore and when first seen was sup opposed
noticed later that che had changed her
position and was drifting towards q
rocky beach which she reached about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. All this
time it was supposed the crew was
on board, but when the place was
reached no crew or clue of them could
be obtained, Had it been known that
she was abandoned, it would have been
easy to have boarded her and dropped
her anchors, which were hanging over
her side. Hor sails we're partly set. She
is now in among the rocks and will soon
break up. Very little of her cargo has
come ashore yet. A tug was seen ap-
preaching the wrecked vessel this even
ing.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 27.-The crew of
the ship Joseph F. Spinney, from New
YORK for this port, with cargo of gen.
eral merchandise, consigned to Sutton

noon, and reported that the vessel
struck on sunken rock, in the vicinity
of Fort Ross, about 75 miles from San
Francisco, late yesterday afternoon, and
rapidly filed with water. When the
vessel struck, she did so with such
force as to punch an enormous hole
in her hall forward, and before the
captain and crew realized the ex-
tent of the damage to the ship, she was
fast settling, and the pumps could not
be worked fast enough to lower the vol
ume of water in the hold, and although
the attempt to keep the vessel afoat
was kept up for hours, it was finally de-
cided it would be useless. and the boats
were ordered lowered. The twenty-six
persons comprising the crew gathered
together whatever effects were possible
and deposited them in the boats and de-
serted the vessel. The fishing tug Far
ragut, on her way to this city from
Point Reyes, picked up the shipwrecked
sailors and brought them to this city.
The vessel was built at Thomaston,
Maine, in 1871. and was valued at $685.
600. She was owned by Joseph Spinney
Of New York, and will be total loss.

The Australian Ballot.

In the East where the Australian bal.
lot system has been in force for several
years it has been proven that the most
satisfactory results are obtained by the
different counties, in which there are
large cities, owning election buildings,
as in large cities there is so much diff
Guilty experienced in obtaining suitable
quarters for voting. Consequently the
counties buy outright small buildings to
be used for voting. There are advocates
OF the wood and also of the steel elec-
tion buildings, but it is generally con-
ceded that the steel portable buildings
are the most convenient, useful and
durable.
At the coming election the Australian
ballot system will be used for the first
time in this state. In order to bring
before the people q sample portable
election building the Buffalo Portable
Steel House Co., of Buffalo, New York,
manufacturers of all kinds of portable
steel buildings, have sent out to Los
Angeles one of their regular portable
election buildings to be used on the 8th
of November. The building will be used
in its present location on Broadway
near Third street.
The eastern cities owning such build
ings use them in other ways than for
polling places, as in case OF fire or flood
they are used to furnish shelter to those
made homeless, and in many other ways
found to be of use.

The Prospects for a Great Race at Santa
Ana Next Week.
John w. Griffin returned here from
San Francisco yesterday, and says that
the Oakland meeting was not success,
although it was characterized by several
sensational events. The pacing race
was won by Belle Button and Tom Ry-
der as mates, with Our Dick and Punk
EFT distanced. There was dull thud
accompanying the result of that race, as
Our Dick and mate were backed to win
an awful lot of money at 100 to 40, and
their being distanced gave the talent
such "facer" as they have not received
in years. The shrewdest and smarteet
turfmen lost their money, and the gran
gers went home with smiling faces.
Mr.. Griffin says that Heating, owner
OF Our Dick, was to leave San Francisco
yesterday with his horse, their destina-
tion being Santa Ana. where he PAGES
against Silkwood for $500 on the
9th day of November, the winner to
take $1,000 and the loser $500. Dick is a
tough and knarly horse. but the journey
will be something Of tax upon him.
Silkwood has now been at home nearly
three weeks, and has got thoroughly
rested up since his defeat here. 1t is
said he paced mile on the Santa Ana
track in 2:09 on Wednesday last, which
does not astonish horsemen in the least.
He did quite as we'll here, all things
considered.

A View of the water Question.

EDITORS HERALD: 1t sometimes hap
pens that what seems the shortest way
to reach an object is the very longest
way we could possibly take.
Now it is pretty generally agreed
upon that this city needs to own it's
own water works. Not for part OF the
city, but for all of it. What, therefore,
is the sense in first detaching from us
the people OF the district that would
give the bonds their strongest support.
Nothing can be more certain than that
the residents of the hills are unit for
water work, but would not their ardor
cease when their wants were supplied.
1t may look like injustice to impugn
the loyalty Of the hill people to the city
as whole, but we mustsremember, that
self-preservation is the first law OF
nature and it would be natural ior
these people to resist the passage of
bonds for several million dollars for
the rest of the city when their own
wants were already provided for.
United we stand, divided we fall is as
a good motto now as it was at the
birth of freedom. seventh WARD.

THE ORPHANS FAIR.

Some of the Attractions Which 1t Of
The attendance at the orphans fair in
Armory hall last night was the largest
30 far this week. All of the ladies in
the various booths announced them
selves as encouraged with last nights
proceeds. 1t is probable that the at
tendance today and tomorrow, the final
day of the fair. will be as large as is an
ticipated. Everything presents pleas
ing sight from all points in the hall.
The booths, as whole, compare favor
ably with those of previous years. An
innovation over previous like affairs is
the museum; it is situated in the lower
end of the hall. Within the museum
are wonders deep, dark and terrible, and
too numerous to enumerate.
Much ia to be seen and learned in this
museum and those that learn do 80 by
bitter experience, and leave with a
prismatic taste in their mouths, for the
enjoyments of the place are most un-
speakable. 1t is worthy of visit from
all.
A handsome gold mounted revolver to
be voted to the most popular candidate
for constable, is exhibited at the candy
booth. Constable Rodgers led last
night in the voting.
]. H. Clancy has charge of the voting
for sheriff. Mr.. Marsh led at the close.
The prizes are two busts of some lovely
Spanish damsels.
Walter s. Hobbs assisted by Miss M.
Gelcich looks after the contest for the
flag donated to the fair by Miss Gelcich.
The flag is to be voted to either the
Seventh regiment or one of the county
central committees.
At the orphans appeal booth the
rattle for the Shetland pony donated by
Master Willie Donegan is progressing
satisfactorily. Master Willie had the
pony in the hall yesterday afternoon to
show to the children of st. Joseph's,
who attended in body. The winner of
the pony can sell it again to Mrs. Done
gan, who has offered $l00 for it.
A novelty is the razzle-dazzle wheel
of fortune.
The flower booth, as usual, was one of
the centers of attraction. Its appear
ance was enlivened by the addition of a
number of chrysanthemums yesterday.
The St. Vincent parish booth is the
largest in the hall and is divided into
four parts-the fancy paper booth, the
fancy work booth. the apron booth,
and the domestic booth.

THE DADDS ARE VICTORIOUS.
Phil Knell Has the Angels at
His Mercy.
A Scientific Game Of Ball Between
the Pitchers.
Uncle Harris Athletes Take Game from
the Angels-Balsz Ont OF Con-
dition, but Pitched
Good Ball.

Yesterdays game OF baseball at Ath-
letic park, which was witnessed by an
average opening-day crowd, was an ex-
cellent exhibition Of the national pas
time in many respects. Uncle Harris
little band Of swatters was pitted against
Count Vanderbeck's team, and the
former gained victory over the Angels.
The credit OF this is due to two causes.
Phil Knell, the ex-national league
pitcher, was in the box for the San Fran
ciscos, and he had fine assortment Of
deceptive curves for the local batemen to
pick out and peck at. Ae general
thing it was the latter, for in five in
nings the counts retainers onlygathered
one lonely hit, and the strike-out col
umn looked topheavy. And then the
visitors were lucky. A couple of errors
and bases on balls were accountable for
three runs in one inning, and the vic
torious team failed TO score an earned
run.
Balsz pitched fair game for the home
people. 1t is true he did not strike out
as many of his opponents as did Knell,
but he was unfortunate in having his
own wildness come in the same inning
with fielding errors. He kept the hits
well scattered, and had his support been
perfect the score would have been in
his favor.
The visitors scored in the first In
ming. Pete Sweeney waited for q prom
enade and took third on Levy's double.
Sharp sacrificed him home.
But the game was won and lost in the
second inning. Hanley reached first on
Glenalvin'e error of difficult chance,
and Power followed him with single.
Then Louie filed the bases by allowing
Knell to walk to fret, and he forced in a
run by hitting the San Francisco cap
tain in the ribs with q wild pitch. ID.
Sweeney then hit slow one to Hulen,
which the latter failed to handle clean
ly, and Power crossed the plate. Rube
Levy's sacrifice sent in Knell with the
third run.
Spies also contributed tally in the
eighth inning by a single, steal of Sec
ond and beautiful sprint on Hanley's
hit to right.
The Angels earned their only two tai
lies in the sixth inning. With one
hand out, McCauley reached first on a
single, and went to third on Rasty's two
cushion drive to left field. Glenalvin
followed him with as pretty an emer-
gency hit as ever was made, on which
he took two bases and sent IN the two
who were ahead of him.
The score follows:I

A MYSTERIOUS RUNAWAY.

A Buggy and Some Woman's Apparel
Still Unclaimed.
On Tuesday night horse with buggy
came tearing up South Pearl street, and
when it reached point nearly opposite
the house Of Mr.. F. NJ. Coulter, between
Tenth and Ottawa streets, the animal
slipped the harness and shot away,
leaving the buggy in the middle of the
road. It was taken to an open lot,
where it has been ever since, the owner
having failed to hunt it up.
There were some female garments in
the buggy, and these Mr.. Coulter took
charge of. The buggy was badly
wrecked and the harness left behind
broken. There may be some mysterious
history connected with this runaway
which requires police investi cation.

To the Republican Voters of the Third Ward:
GENTLEMEN: am more than aston
ished to find my position on the water

pect the public to question my residence
in Los Angeles, or my American citizen
ship, or my sex.
l first, in public body, the West
End board of trade, introduced reso-
luton calling for municipal ownership
of water works. presided at the first
mas meeting in favor of city water
works and took very strong grounds in
favor thereof. / was president of the

the whole water question. We were
in session for weeks and made the pub
lie sentiment that now prevails.

the idea and advocated the issue of
bonds to start the city works, and thus
furnish immediate relief for the hill
section.
sounded the keynote of the pres
ent campaign when, in my refusal to be
the candidate OF the Peoples party. l
said, But in my opinion the present
campaign should be urged on the CEN
tral and paramount idea of municipal
ownership of the water and lighting
systems of the city. To this end have
worked and shall continue to work with
all the strength at my command, in
active cooperation with all who are en-
listed on that side. until the battle has
been won, and the evils which we have
80 long endured have been wholly re-
moved"
Those who know me will feel that
do not say one thing and mean another,
and there is no reason to change my
original opinion as to the present issue
OF bonds. They should be voted by an
overwhelming majority, as firmly be-
lieve they will be.
Because the chamber of commerce re-
fused to take sides on the bonds issue,
as they have on all previous issues, the
effort is made to throw the onus on me.
l can only say that the refusal was unan-
imous on the part of the directors and
was based on the well known policy of
the chamber to avoid questions which
would divide the chamber, introduce
discord, and weaken the great power of
the chamber for the general good.
In closing, allow me to say that my
whole life in this city shows beyond
question my great desire for the public
welfare, and ask each and every Re-
publican of the Third ward and through
out the city to attend the primaries
next Saturday and to not credit with
out full investigation stories set afioat
