Every man from the wreck had been
landed about or $50 o'clock.
Though the life-saving crews were slow
at first, they did good work afterward,
and had it not been for the men from the
two stations there would have been some
lives lost.
There will probably be no attempt 10

only slightly covered by insurance and
the adjusters have decided to sell the ship
and cargo at the Merchants Exchange TO-

her on a salvage basis. The Beebe was
built in Seattle in 1875 She is 146 feet
long. 50 feet beam and 1919 feet deep. Her
loss is abont $4,000 and the loss on cargo

The schooner j. q. Wall, inbound from
Hum boldt yesterday afternoon, came near

Wall found severe weather on the Stb and
lost her main boom and some of her sails.
In this crippled condition she tried to

forced to anchor near Duxburg Reef. The
breakers caused her to carry away her
anchor chains, and but for the timely ar.

been wrecked.
Captain Galleys reports that the schooner

Governor thought the sentence little too
severe, and so his Excellency revoked the
decree to simply discharge without COM

This Is the first time that a company has
ever been mustered out in California for
disobedence of orders. There have been
other companies relieved OF their military
robes, put not for such serious charges,

THE ELECTRIC SMASHER.
A Mission-St Street Car Collides With
Lumber Wagon.

The Missinn-street electric cars are
keeping up their record of accidents. The
motormen would appear to have particu-
lar antipatny TO transfers.
About 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Peter Buckley. teamster with the Union
Lumber Company, was driving his team
along Eleventh street. When he reached
Mission street, car 1904 was rapidly APP
preaching the crossing. Buckley thought
lie would have time to cross and whipped
up his horses. But the car was too quick
for him and struck the hind wheels III the
wagon with such force as to break the
wh ffiotrees and throw Buckley underneath
the wagon.
The frightened horses dashed forward
and one of the hind wheels passed over
Buckeyes left leg. Ho was picked up ana
taken to the Receiving Hospital, where
DIR. Deane found that although the leg
was badly confused n bones were broken.
Buckley is powerful young fellow ana
his muscles are like iron, which is for
tunate for him, otherwise his leg would
have been badly crushed by the wheel of
the heavy lumber wagon. Another for
tunate circumstn Dce was that the wagon
was empty. Buckeyes right arm was also
confused.
Buckley, who lives a 135 Juniper street.
said the motorman did not ring his bell
nor slacken his speed. but ran into tue

The crews of the United States life

Business, the Governor thinks, is in a
process of slowly reviving, but he believes
a return to the good times of '92 is far

MORE BURGLARIES.
The Kirketerp Residence Entered
While the Family Slept.

WhIie the Family Slept.
Another burglary is reported on Bush
street, between Jones and Leavenworth,
where midnight providers have been so
active for the past ten days. This time
the residence OF Mr.. c. Kirketerp, 1917
Bush stIeef, was the one selected, AID
considerable booty was carried off by the
burglar.
Tho thief gained an entrance to the
house some time after 2 O'Clock on Satur-
day morning, while the family was sound
asleep upstairs. He took out screen in
the bathroom window, raised the sash,
and roamed around inside on the first floor
as he pleased. He ransacked all the
drawers and tables. went through the
wardrobeS, and got away with about 500
worth of stuff. He had twice as much
more tied Ut, but, for some reason or
other, failed to take it with him.
Mr.. Kirkeierp discovered the burglary
when he viewed the wreck in the morn
ing, and found the front door. through
which the burglar had evidently made his
escape, wide open. The silver-ware,
which the thief was certainly after,
escaped by reason of its being kept up
stairs.
Besides this burglary and those of the
BolaDd and Brown residences adjoining,
attempts have been made to enter several
other houses, and the people are very wide
awake these nights. They complain
bitterly of the apparent apathy of the
pnlice, and state that Lramps and begging
hoboes are constant callers at from. and

Charles Foster of Fostoria, Ohio, who
was twice elected Governor If the State

Treasury under President Harrison, is at

ton in his private affairs has demanded
his personal attention to an extent of late

least.
Governor Foster is regarded in the East
as one of OhiO's most prominent men.
His two terms as Governor were recog-

of such recognized importance as to cause
President Harrison TO confer upon him the

time Columbus has also spoken and

became generally known that he was
in sympathy with the Citizens wing OF
the democratic party, they sal down
on him with great unanimity and sat-
isfaction and told him he could stay
at home where he could do no harm.
And so in this county, Mr.. ID. III. IT.

that he was "uaalterably opposed to

ty votes in the senatorial convention,
and in a trial of strength between
General Bullock, ''reformer," and
Mr.. Wilson, an ss'anti-reformer" for

General Bullock received sixty-four

story goes. Mr.. d. u. Fletcher, a
prince among reformers, was elected
to the legislature from Duval, was
elected mayor of Jacksonville by a
magnificent majority, and will be
elected to the senate if the ballot boxes
are not tempered with by the Citizens
crowd who do not hesitate to doctor

election frauds that would make
