DELIGHTFUL
RESORT.
The Equal of All California Hotels.
Fishing, Boating, Hunting, Tennis
and Other Attractions.

Hotel Mateo. at San Mateo, San Mateo
County, is TO be opened TO the public on
Thursday of this week. Besides the elite of
that delightful locality, large number of
invited guests from this city Will be present
Music and dancing will be the especial
feature of the occasion, which will mark an
epoch in the social life of the most charm
ing Of San FranciscO's suburbs.
The city of San MateO and its many at
fractions are well known. 1t is located not
far from the bay on the east and on the
west is protected from the chilly breeZes of
the Pacific by the coast range.
Lakes abound, which afford entertainment
for the fishers, and the mountains still re-
main in the condition that renders wild
game plentiful.
Around San MateO are cultivated farms
bordeTed by the finest roads in the State
and paraleled by lofty ana outrageous
trees.
The social life of the little city Is almost
an ideal one. 1t is the home OF many
wealthy and cultivated people, who buiIded
stately mansions and who have been at
tracted by the genial climate, the retired
influences OF the place and the features of
the country com Jined with the accessibility
to city life which il gives
The only thing lacking in San Mateo has
hitherto been suitable hotel for the
wealthy and leisurely class. This want has
been provided and San Mateo can now, with
entire justice. announce that il has one Of
the most elegant, best appointed and roomy
hotels that exists IN the State.
Hotel Mateo is located in the center of
the city and is but hort distance from the
Southern Pacific station. 1t is in tile mid
die of tract of five acres filed with great
live oaks, and with grounds laid out after
the best modes OF landscape gardening. a

Trade.
Editor Of The Call: SIR-In the columns
| of contemporary recently appeared an
interview with a gentleman from the East,
who told in an entertaining way of his first
visit to California. He was here in 1S49 and
'savs he was one Of the passengers on the
old Mantle. l regret 10 see, however, that
the gentleman referred to spoke of the
Mantle as an ''old rotten hulk"
Now, [ TOO was a passenger on the Man

anything but unpleasant Twas in Panama
on the 22d OF February, 1849. with nun ber
of others, waiting for passage to California.
We were all anxious 10 get away, and
though as events proved there were many
weary days of waiting in store for us, each
morning at sunrise found a score of the
anxious ones on the walk of the old town
looking earnestly seawaTd in hopes of dis
cernlng the sails of an approaching ship.
Finally the steamship Oregon came in, but
0nly those who had through tickets from
New CORK were taken on board. Then the
old whaling bark Equator sailed into port,
quickly fitted up and left.
Some time in April of that year we
learned through United States Consul Mel
son that the good ship Mantle would lea We
Payta for Panama to accOmm odate pas
senger transfer toward California. That
created excitement. of course, and there was
hurry to secure passage. Myself ana
friend got in all right at $50 each. The
Mantle made her appearance in good
season and time. She was not an ola rotten
hulk, but a discarded tea-carrier and on her
maiden voyage as sperm whaler. As was
the custom at that time. she called into
Payta 10 put on shore surplus stores, etc.
and, of course, found the Consul's letter ad-
vising passenger certainty versus a whal-
lug venture.
She came into Panama with clean,
whitewashed height between decks of seven
feet in the clear, and sailed away with $50

reporter of THE CALL began to quiz
him, as he appeared to know so much.
AS soon as the first question was put to
him he shut up like clam. saying, Il don't
know nothing for reporters"
The others were very glum when spoken
to concerning the matter of the two acct
dents, and the only way to secure informa-
ton was to get it from the crowd of ldlers
who had gathered to watch the wOrkmen.
They had heard them talk, and seemed TO
know all about it,
1t was about / O'clock in the afternoon
before the wrecker got to work, and then
the task of clearing the tracks went rapidly
on, and at o'clock train passed the
wreck on the side-traek, constructed at
Army and Twenty-seventh streets. 1t con-
sisted of two engines, three baggage-carS
and nina passeGger-cars.
The train which had been detained at
Ocean View passed into the city immedi-
ately afterward.
1t is q matter that puzzles every one to
know how the big engine kept the track and
the rear engine jumped off If the switch was
really open. Yet some say that ID was pos
sibe because the big one had the advantage
of ten wheels.
Alter the danger was all past there were
some ridiculous recOlections. a lady llv-

WINDEL IS SICK.
His Sensation Has Given

What He Would Have Done if Martha
Conradt Had Been Sent to
Convent.

Henry Windel was prostrated by grief
and nOtoriety yesterday, and was too sick

as he started TO do al o'clock in the morn
ing.
Arriving at the police station he CON-
planned of trouble with his heart, and was
obliged to go back to his home and to bed
to ponder over the sensation which his stern
action in the case Of The alleged assault has
created
Mr.. Windel, when seen by a CALL re-
porter. gasped in a good deal of inoffeusiv
ozone in trying to catch his breath between
sentences when told that the Conradt fam
lily accused him of being the aggressor and
the wrong-doer in the case of Martha Con-
radt. He said:
Miss Conradt met Hoef1lch at my house
at 80 Stockton street, and not at Detective
MetZler's, as is stated IN the interview with
DR.. Couradt.
u forbade thu girl coming to my house
toward the last, and she insisted in doing
so. She left this note"
Here Windel produced an epistle signed
Martha" begging 10 be allowed to see him.
II had all the locks on the doors changed
and she could not get in and so went
around 10 the front of my place and broke
large pane of glass in trying to gain an
entrance through the window"
Dr. Conradt is well spoken of by all who
know him. and his friends deeply regret
the publicity in to W hich his family has been
so harshy forced.
Windel stated that he made a proposition
that if her father would send her to q con-
vent for one year, and guarantee to keep
her there for that length of time, he would
return to DR.. COnradt the note cancel ali
of Miss Conradrs Indebtedness and Danish
her and her family from his mind and life
forever.
This the doctor refused to do.
The warrantI so says Windel, will be
served on Monday morning.
The morning call., 1893-03-26

A great Mogul engine of ten wheels was
assisting to pull the heavy load and it made
a wonderful escape and kept the track, be-
Ing in the lead.
The train left Monterey at the usual hour
yesterday morning. and, stopping at way
stations, took ON additional cars.
The last that were picked up were at
Baden. They were refrigerator ears and
filled with beef mutton, pork and the ac-
general freight, except the two last, which
bore many tons of hay.
When the train left the track the mogul
engine, No. 1880, sped along, aud the former
jamined its nose into the embankment.
Tie force Of the heavy train behind
caused the first car to rise up, lift the
tender and engine together high up on the
bank, and then the car was jammed by the
others into kindiiDg wood of very small size.
Russell Hurd, the engineer, and John
Ahrens, the fireman. stood by their posts,
either from necessity or bravery, until the
whole train had become a mass o. SplinteTed
wood and broken iron.
Then they succeeded in getting out with

Al Watson. the conductor was bumped
around considerably, but not badly injured.
The brakemen had their grip on the brakes
which saved hem from an early grave.
Luckily not one OF them were on the rear
cars, which were laden with hay.
If they had been their lot would have
been a sorry one. They were fiatcars, and
the force of the impact drove the platform
Of one onto the other.
They were just on the bridge over the
DOl0tes-stUeet crossing, and a hundred
bales of hay went down distance Of 30
feet TO the ground, spreading terror to the
tramps who might be reDosing there.

at the corner of Sansome and Clay streets
earned her $4,000 per month for long
time.
The pumplOg of the old craft is almost
romance in itself. When the craft was
hauled in for mooring it was of course
necessary to hold her and piles OF spars
were driven on the outside. Perhaps her
sparS were used. Anyhow an old pump
log was utilized to complete her fastening.
