A VERY STORMY PASSAGE.
The Ship Thesselaus Arrives
From Liverpool,
Very Rough Weather Near the Horn Carries
Away Her Sails and Steering
Gear.

The ship Thesselaus arrived in port yes
terday afternoon, 1877 days from Cardiff.
Her trip was the toughest she has ever
taken, although she has been around the
Horn before.
The passage down the Atlantic was very
quiet, but as coon as the vicinity of the
Horn was reached the weather became tenn
pestuous.
The vessel was partly under water most
of the time, and for seventeen days it was
impossible to cross the deck.
During the gale the vessel lost her lower
fore,opsail. and her wheel and steering
gear we're carried away.
1t was impossible to 60 on deck, and for
two days the vessel was in the trough of
the sea helpless. The wonder is she did not
founder.
A drag was rugged up eventually, which
lasted until fine weather came and repairs
could be made.
The steamer Collma arrived from Panama
yesterday with eight cabin passengers and
a miscellaneous cargo The weather was
fine and the vessel made good time, al
though she stopped at all Mexican ports.
The steamer Panama from Humboldt was
due here yesterday, but for some unknown
reason failed TO arrive up to late hour last
night.
Some alarm for her safety WAS felt. as she
Is very punctual vessel and has never be-
fore been more than an hour late since she
has been ON the route.
The fishing steamer Farragut bumped
against pile yesterday and knocked off
her rudder. She was in the Fisberman's
wharf at the time and the accident seemed
fortunate, as 1t was discovered that the iron
was much cerroded and the woodwork rot
ten.
Newa WINS rpoeiyed last NIGHT that one
of the yachts which took part in the races
at Sausalito yesterday capsized and threw
all on board into the bay. 1t was stated
that the men were saved.

Last Tuesday evening the "Belvederes" gave
their initial complimentary masquerade aud
fancy-dress parry at Union-squafe Hall. There

a Desperate Attempt to Get
Blood Money.
THE DEEDS OF ARMED MEN
{. {. Coy and Sam Allison Lead a
Gang of Men to Make Raid on the
Great Northern Addition.

This (Friday) afternoon e. E.
Coy and Sam Allison, a reputed
"bad man." accompanied by sew
eral others, mostly FOUNDERS and
gamblers, by armed force entered
the townsite upon which the COM
pany has placed scrip, and at
tempted to jump the land. The
jumpers threatened to shoot any
one who interfered. After. stalking
off the land they retired. Soon
after another armed crowd, headed
by Keeler, Fry and Ainsley, pulled
up the stakes and tore down the
notices. The jumpers did not re-
turn.
1t was miraculous that there was
no bloodshed, and but for the re-
fusal Of Dick Fry to sanction it,
perhaps there would have been.
Nothing will come of the jump
ing. The title is all right 1t is
regarded by the company as a
blackmailing scheme, and any at
tempt at trespass again will be met
with violence.
Coy has lost standing by this
move. He claims that the mem
bers Of the company have wronged
him; but it cannot be understood
why, if he wishes to be any part Of
man, he should wish to strike at
the prosperity Of the town and stab
friend and foe alike. The temper
Of the people at this time is not
such as will permit their rights to
be trihed with. This nonsense
should be sat down upon hard and
at once.
Mr.. Coy says that he will have
nothing more to do with the jump
ing, but that Allison will claim
eighty acres of the land. The peo-
pie here regard Allison as merely a
tool Of Coy's.

A New Postmaster.

Richard Fry is in receipt of a
letter from Willis Sweet notifying
him that Mr.. S. B. Wright has been
recommended for the position of
postmaster at Fry. Mr.. Wright
will soon take charge. The office
will probably be located at some
convenient point near where it now
stands. The appointment Of Mr..
Wright is probably as satisfactory
to the public generally as anyone
who could have been named, but
Mr.. Sweet may hear things that
may sound bitter. Many, while
not objecting to Mr.. Wright, do not
take kindly to the methods Of Mr..
Sweet.
