FosroRIA, o., May 27.-The situation
here today, so far as the Foster failure
is concerned, shows little change. There
is general feeling of uneasiness in all
branches of trade. Governor Foster
said this morning he had no further
statement to make. The Mechanics
savings bank, on which run was
started yesterday, reports more deposits
than Withdrawals this morning, and on
Monday expects to open as a general
banking company.
Money is very tight, which may force
to the wall firms which otherwise might
pull through, The diversified nature of
Governor Fosters failure makes the
outlook exceedingly dubious and places
the results far beyond the range of pre-
diction. Three window glass companies
and iron works will close down tonight
and several hundred mechanics will be
thrown out of employment.
The deposits in the Foster bank are
about $500. 900. The governor bears up
well under the calamity. He succeeded
in sleeping six hours last night, for the
first time in weeks. He has been del
uged with telegrams and letters OF SYM
pathy from prominent people from all
party of the country.
FOSTER MoRALIzEs.
CLEVELAND, o., May 27.-In the course
OF q telegram in response to an offer of
space for statement made by an after
noon paper Governor Foster said: "My
failure simply illustrates the great folly
OF permitting ones self to be in debt
beyond the reach of reasonably quick
assets for relief when the hour of difficult
borrowing comes. Business is largely done
with borrowed money. Confidence in
the maintenance Of sound financial cen-
ditions Ia essential to legitimate lend
ing. That confidence for some time
has been shaken In the ability or eapac-
ity of the government to maintain pay
ments, is evident. The country pos
sesses enormous resources which are at
the command of the government, and it
should say and act in terms and ways
that will satisfy the country, without
ambiguity or uncertainty that gold pay
ments will be maintained"

used to do. Then tax the miners to build
leyees along the river banks and buy
dredgers and sand-pumps and pump the
sllckens from the Tiver-beds over the leveeS
and on TO the now worthless tue lands, re-
claiming the latter aud at the same time
deepening the river bed. General Tulman
claims that by his plan thousands upon
thousands OF acres of land now given up to

Frequenters of the Front Find a Pas

The most amusing incident of the day on

months ago there has been steady and, to
outsiders, extremely interesting develop

big part OF the "Trip. The steamers race
the greater part of the time, and the hostility
between the lines makes the ride most
exciting one"
However that may be, there is fun enough
at the start for an ordinary man.
At O'clock the wharf is crowded to see
the steamers off.
The California Navigation and Improve

get off and be at it.
Each boat had its cnterle OF admirers
about 1t, with bands playing on board and
seductive placards expo,ed setting forth
the dazzling attractions it had to offer.
A large muslin piece was stretched in
front OF each steamer with the entangling
Inscriptions, Tickets 25 cents"
The passengers joined in the spirit Of the
hour and waved defiance across the wharf.
Promptly at o'clock the Weber whis-
tied loudly from Washington street and the
next moment the Peters gave out blast
that lasted twice as long and woke the
echoes on Telegraph Hill.
Then there was grand rush of hand
trucks and a prOmiscuOuS hustling of
freight, and amid cheers the Peters threw

Then the young men of the Weber worked
In frenzy and glared at the Peters as she
swung slowly about and pointed her nose to
the north. But the latter was jubilant and
careeDed sportiyely to port and futtered
her pinions Rockingly as her band struck up
triumphant strain and the steamer disap-
peared around the bend.
Then the captain OF the Weber gave his
orders sharp and quick and the passengers
applauded and the boat was put about with

THE BROKEN SHAFT
Cause of the Accident in
the POWer=House.
Superintendent Lynch of the Powell
Street Line Speaks About the
Amount of Damage.

The rip, bang jingle that was heard in
the power-house of the Powel-street line
on last Thursday night about 9:30 O'Clock is
still ranking in the brain of Superintend-
ent Lynch.
1t is a fact that the incandescent lights
were Pickering while the huge machinery,
propelled by the power of 500 horses. ae-
cording to the rating Of steam pressure. was
humping in q manner that would drive one
crazy.
What was to be done? Who would stay
the terrific and uncomfortable force?
No one could stop the trouble in the en-
gine-house. but there was no difficulty in
stopping all the cars oh the cable road and
Its various branches.
The trouble was that the main shaft broke
off between the flywheel aud the pinion.
THAT shaft" said Superintendent Lynch.
''has done service for twenty hours day
during the past six years, and like the old
Gne-horse shay of Oliver Wendell Holmes,
1t went to destruction in moment But,
he continued, lit was the luckiest accident
that | ever knew. Think Of shaft fourteen
inches in diameter, near flYwheel weighing
twenty-five tons and pinion weighing six
tons, and doing not more than $1,000 worth
of damage"
How much damage could it have done?"
was asked.
w nv, SlVu,UUU WORTH easily, lie Iepiieu,
aside from the destruction of life bOtn in
the engine-hOuse and also on the roads"
In answer TO q question the superinten-
dent said:
I'VE have a duplicate plant, of course,
and the moment one gets out of order we
use the other To-day we are running the
other plant and will continue to do so until
the necessary repairs are made"
This is the most disastrous accident that
has yet been sustained by the company,
though it has not proved to be rs serious a $
it might have done.
The superintendent and his engineers
attribute the accident to capitalization of
the metal. The shaft was built up Of what
is known as horseshoe metal, which is pre-
sumed TO he extraordinarily tough. II may
also bring good luck to the credulOus.
The main stress that Mr.. Lynch placed
on the accident was that no one was killed
and that the company had lost only about
$1,000, whereas IL might have been injured
to the extent of 100000
Some time will elapse before the damage
can be repaired.

THE WOUNDED MEN.
John w. Mackay Getting Well and
Rippey Improving.


Rippey Improving.
John W. Mackay's wound is healing rap
idly and his physician says that he will be
able to leave his hotel in few days. The
wounded capitalist rested easily yesterday.
and just before retiring late last night de-
clared that he had never felt better.
Wesley C. Rippey, the assailant of John
w. Mackay, is rapidly improving in health
and now the physicians think he may
eventually recover from the effects oil his
self-intlicted wound.
Rippey is not yet well enough to be re-
moved from the Receiving Hospital, and
lies quietly on his cot when not asleep.
He has little to say to his attendants and
has displayed particular antipatny to the
police officers detailed to guard him and
prevent his escape.
During The past few days Rippey has
eaten heartily of the food prepared for him
with apparent relish He also sleeps well.
Early last night Rippey fell asleep and
slumbered peacefully until nearly midnight,
when he awoke apparently much refreshed.
A that time DIR. Deane examined the pa
tIent and found that his temperature, respi
ration and pulse were normal. His wound
is also healing rapidly and no Suppuration
could be discovered by the physicians.
With the exception of an occasional fit of
coughing, Rippey suffers no inconvenience.
and should these cause no hemorrhage and
consequent relapse he viii soon be we'll
enough to be removed from the hospital.
