A CARGO ON FIRE.
Thrilling Voyage of the

An Australian Coal Ship Floating
Seething Furnace for Thirty.
Seven Days.

Late yesterday afternoon the four
masted British iron ship Cedarbank, from
Newcastle, N. S. w.. via Sydney. with
coal, was lowed into port by the tug Vigi-
liant and anchored off Blossom Rock buoy.
Her cargo was on fire and she had been
burning for thirty-seven days. The story
of the voyage is thrilling in the extreme
and the escape of the officers and crew
without sid except their own sails and
their own exertions can be set down as
ono of the strange tales Of the sea. 81
The Cedarbank sailed from Newcastle on
March 5 in command of Captain Moody.

and Mr.. Leeds is now certain that great
portion Of the right of way will be secured
for the mere cost Of title deeds.
Although active canvassing for subscrip-
tons has not commenced yet, persons are
coming to the projectors and offering their
financial aid.
This San Joaquin railroad Is going to
prove a surprise. Some day in the near
future. when people are least expecting
it. the incorporation papers will be taken
out, aud at the same moment condemna-
ton proceedings will be commenced
against certain doubtful tracts OF land.
There are clever business men at the head
of the enterprise. They fully expect the
Southern Pacific to attempt the laying OF
sidetracks and alleged branch lines in or
der to block them, but when the San Joa-
auin railroad does spring into existence
there will not only be piece OF parchment
legalizing it, but there will be picks and
shovels with steady men back OF them.

OF the people in every county through

TRIED TO SHOOT HER.
The Way Some Husbands Make Their
Wives Respect Them.

The Way Some Husbands Make Their
Wives Respect Them.
Judge Hebbard has granted Mary +.
Brown divorce from Joseph Brown on
the ground of extreme cruelty.
Some sensational evidence came out in
court. It was shown that soon after the
marriage, Brown. who is in the employ of
j. B. Chase & Co., and also keeps a saloon
on Steuart street. started drinking heavily.
On one occasion he returned to his home
at 3O4 Harrison street, and after quarrel
ing with his wife he threw beer bottle at
her. On another occasion be seized bis
wife and tried to throw her over the ban
lister of the stairs. but was prevented by
woman in the house, who came to the
wife's rescue. Then she commenced q
suit for divorce. but on his promise to re-
form she went back to live with him.
But Brown was evidently not satisfied
with this. The climax came one night
when he returned home, and after kicking
his wife and throwing a pitcher Of water
at her, he drew his revolver and fired at
the Door woman as she tried to make her
escape from him. For this exploit Brown
was held over in the sum of $1,000 to keep
the peace.
In addition TO all this 1t was shown that
Brown had willfully neglected to provide
for his wife. and so the divorce was
granted.

"The suggestion was acted upon. Nc
Eilicott took two of the sucklinglteIriers
from their mother and consigned them to
the care of the cat after the latter's pro-
geny, with the exception of one cute little
kitten, were stolen and drowned.
Nov, the strange feature resulting
from the experiment of raising thorough
bred terriers under a foster mother is that
the two little GROWERS are more fancied
by the feline rat-catcner than is her own
little kit, which chums side by side with
the terriers under the watchfnl eye Of
