FROM THE BURNED SHIP.
Captain Macdonald of the Gosford
Here With His Crew.

Captain Macdonald of the British ship
Gosford. which was burned at sea, arrived
yesterday on the tug Relief from the scene
of the wreck at Point Conception. He was
accompanied by his officers, and all are
now staying at the Commercial Hotel. By
tomorrow the captain expects to have
orders from his firm in Glasgow bearing
on arrangements for saving the hull and
closing all matters connected with the
ship.
He says that the fire was caused by
spontaneous combustion far down in the
hold. 'When the coal was run from chutes
into the ship all the fine particles of coal
and dust fell to one side, while heavy
Jumps fell at the other side" he explained.
This dust generated gas. We could smell
1t for long time, and when smoke began
to come up through the hatch amldships
we knew the CARO- was on fire from this
gas. AT night names would shoot up
through the hatch like streaks of light
ming. and at day we could see the puffs like
smoke
'When the fire started we were about
400 miles out from Point Conception. We
tried hard to get down TO the seat of the
vomiting and nearly suffocated, for we
could not light hre, smoke and gas COM
bned. Then we had the pumps and
buckets going constantly day and night,
trying to fill the hold with water and
drown out the fire. but that did no good.
The water was turned to steam almost as
quickly as we pumped it in.
81 made direct for land to save the
thirty-six men who were on the ship. As
soon as we got near shore the anchor was
dropped and then the ship turaed to the
wind. Immediately the aft portion was
wrapt in flames. Meanwhile the fire
burned forward against the wind. We
were all forced off from the bowsprit.
Everything possible was done to save
the hull, which is new and of steel. 1t lies
in about four fathom of water, and will
be saved if there are proper appliances

The unemployed" who seek food and

Danger OF permitting them to lie in the
Corridors was made manifest on Friday
night. The two prison-keepers could not
tell when their guests would arise against
them. The Chief of Police was notified
and last night the keepers of the old prison
were told to lock all the indigents in cells
ana after hlling the cells to admit no one.
AT 1O:3O O'Clock 1873 homeless men had
Deen received and the cells were full. All
VINO applied for shelter afterward were
Iurneu away. There were fully 100 who
were told to 60 elsewhere for lodgings.

which might have been easily carried out
successfully, has led to considerable dis
cussion in police circles.
Chlet Crowley was asked Yesterday in
view OF the large number of unemployed
men VINO nightly seek lodgings In the old
city prison if he was not afraid that some
friends of prisoners locked up in the pris-
on mignt pass themselves off as unem-
pioyeu men seeking nights lodging and
ADOPT means to enable their friends TO es-
care.
Il am not in the least afraid of that"
SAID the Chief. "These men who get
nights lodging are kept in different por-
tlon Of the prison altogether from the men
who are charged with felonies. Besides,
IL would be foolish in them to attempt
such thing, as both they aud their
friends would soon be again under lock
and key.

FIRED THE BLAST.
A Serious Accident Upon
Telegraph Hill.
Two WOrkmen Sustain Severe In
jurieS in the Big Quarry on
Its Eastern Slope.

The big rock quarry which is being
operated by the Gray Brothers Com
Dany, on the eastern slope of Tele-
graph Hill, furnished another accident yes
terday afternoon to add to the stories OF
houses tumbling down the hillside and
other weird tales which have come from
the same place within the last year Ut two.
Two brothers, Giovanni and Peter
Palero, were working together about 100
feet above the level Of Sansome street on
bench of the rock preparing a blast
which was to be fired after o'clock. 1t
is the custom in the quarry TO fire no blast
until the other workmen have gone from
below, so that there may be no danger of
injury from falling rocks. There is quite
an eSta blishment al the foot of the hail al
the corner of Sansome and Greenwich
streets, where the crushers are located
and where the rock, after having been re-
duced by these machines, is hauled away
TO distant parts of the city. Bnt the hill
has been blasted out until it is now little
more than a sheer wall; and whatever
starts down from the top generally brings
up at the bottom with good deal of thud
The two brothers were at work above
the street, had placed almost whole can
OF powder ready for blast. and were
tamplng It down, when it exploded and one
of them. Giovanni, was thrown to the bot
tom OF the hill, while Peter was severely
injured by the force of the blast 1t is
supposed that the explosion was caused
by tue tamping. although there was a
rumor that a rock had been rolled down
from the top OF the hill by some boys, and
striking some loose powder near the bias;
exploded 1t, but this could not be verified
Giovanni was picked up at the foot of the
hill and taken TO his room, at 331 Broad
way, where physicians made an examina.
tlOn, and discovered that his left arm was
broken above the elbow, and that prob
ably two or three ribs were broken. As
TO Internal injuries the doctors thought il
lot unlikely hat there might prove TO be
something of that kind, but could not yet
determine the man was also badly cut
about the face. and his Injuries may prove
to be very serious.
T. Palero was taken to the Receiving
Hospital in the patrol wagon. Dr. Coff-
man. who attended to him, found that
there we're numerous small wounds on both
his hands ana arms, caused by the burnt
powder and the rocks that had fallen upon
him. Ills hips and thighs were also badly
bruised by the falling rocks, but no bones
were. broken. He was also suffering severe
pain In his eyes through the burnt powder
scorching them, but the doctor says they
will not be permanently injured.

PUTTING ON AIRS.
Golden Gate Park Grows
Dignified.
Police and Many Employees Will Be
Uniformed Alike-An Administra-
tion Building for All Hands.

The Commissioners of Golden Gate Park
Intend to make radical changes, or I'M
provements, this month, so that the park
will appear as we'll offlcered and man aged
as most Eastern pleasure grounds.
The Midwinter Fair is responsible for a
large share of the feeling that prompted
the change. With talk of this building
and that, and most of all place for ad-
miDistrative purposes, the commission
thought the park bould have an admins
istration building. Uniformed guards sug-
gested uniform for certain employees. and
the work was done.
I'VE are preparing the Casino for an ad-
ministralion building" said Mr.. Ham
mond. "The COMMISSIONER office. the
police station, engineers Office and other
headquarters will be moved there. All
the upper floor will be used for these pur-
poses, and instead of having things scat
tered they Will be concentrated under one
roof. The police will have sheds in the
rear for their horses. and in case of acci-
dents or strayed teams there will be a suit
able place 10 keep them temporarily. Dur
ing the fair season We expect to have many
arrests. There will be a small prison in
the building and telephone communica-
tion TO other buildings. the fair grounds
and City Hall.
The lower floor will be used for a mu-
scum. We will remove the birds and anil
mails from the children's quarter and place
them in position. This will form a
nucleus for a museum. aud with time an
interesting collection will be gathered to-
gether for the amusement and instruction
of visitors.
"The policemen are having new uni
forms made. You know we have adopted
gray color Ind that will be used alto
gether Then there are several boys ana
men employed at the children's play
ground, and these will be uniformed.
They will have gray cloth uniforms with
red braid. and on the shoulders, red cords.
The hats will have 'children's play
grounds in red and gold letters around
the rim. This is done so that all en-
ployes coming in contact with the people
may be distinguished as park officials.
Il have always conteDded that the
lariat on a polceman's saddle is relic of
barbarism. but it won't be changed. It's
necessary here because of the few police
men employed. In Central Park, New
York, the total of police salaries is just as
much as our entire appro priation. If we
had a sufficient force Of men then the larat
would disappear"
With the move Of quarters the little
shanties which mar the appearance of
Stanyan street, opposite Oak, will be
taken out OF sight. and in their stecd will
be ornamental shrubs and beds of f1o wers
with grass plats between.

Too Beautiful to Live.

The pride and flower of all the youth OF the
Zoo Is the young hippopotamus. As 1t lies on
its side, with eyes half-cosed, its square nose
like the end OF bolster Tilted upward, Its little
fat legs stuck out straight at right angles To its
body. and its toes turned up like ducks il
looks like gigantic newborn rabbit. 1t has
pale petunia-colored stomach, ana the same
artistic shade adorns the soles of its feet. 1t
has double chin. and its eyes. like bull
calfs, are set on pedestals, and close gently as
u goes To sleep with bland. enormous smile.
1t cost $500 when quite small and 10 quote the
opinion OF an eminent graZier who was looking

noisseurs In hippopotamus breeding who think
it almost too beautiful to live.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2a.-Speculation on the
stock exchange today was feverish and I'M
settled. Tie market opened generally firm,
with the exception of New England, which de-
cliued u per cent, ard Louisville. which was
ia per cent lower on report that the COM
pany will declare no dividend. In the carly
dealings the general list aCvinced a small
fraction. Shortly after I0:l5 O'Clock specula-
fion became heavy. and the list declined IA
~ per cent, but this quickly followed by
a rally of = per cent in the granger shares.
New England was sold very heavily on reports
of the projected receivership. The stock up
TO IL O'Clock had declined 234 per cent from
the opening. Speculation was quite strong in
grsngers. New England recovered q per
cent. At noon the dealings Were on n moder-
s:se scale. but the tone was fairly strong.
After midday the pressure TO sell became
very pronounced in General Electric and
break of 615 per cent made before the
bottom was reached. The depression was due
TO reports that a plan was being formed for
the reorganization OF the company. Sales to
cover caused a rally of III per cent in the fl
nal dealings leaving the net loss on the days
transactions 23s per cent. National Cordage,
on small purchases, rose 81 per cent, the
moving influence being the success of the re-
organization scheme and reports of the ter
animation of important law suits. In the late
dealings a reaction of ll5 and recovery of Il
per cent ensued. The preferred shares adj
Nanced 51s per cent. The market generally
rlosed firm.
