NEEDED REPAIRS.
The Governor Irwin Will
Have New Boilers.
News Received of the Sealing
Schooner Wolberg-Departure
of the Steamer Gaelic.

At the last meeting of the Board of
State Harbor Commissioners attention was
called to the condition of the boilers on
board she old fre-boat Governor Irwin.
For the past sixteen years the Irwin has
been in service, and her boilers have done
good service in all that time. 1t has been
decided, though, that the boilers are in
that condition known as ''played out"
and hence action was taken to have them
replaced by nsw ones. The vessel will be
laid up for two months and not only have
new boilers put in, but she will have a
general OVerhauling including fresh coat
of paint. During her retirement from
service the tug Governor Markham will
Ia he the 1rwin's place.
Advices were received from Japan yes
terday by the owner of the sealing
schooner W0lberg to the effect that she
had arrived at Hakodate for the purpose
of taking on board the master of the YES
sci, Captain James Crew. He had been
left at the hospital in Hakodate to be
treated for an attack of Inflammation of
the bowels. The schooner then went on
her sealing trip. In the meantime Cap
tain Crew died, and so the calling of the
schooner was in vain. Considerable grief
must have been felt on board the schooner
when the news became known to- them,
for Captain Crew was popular man not
only on board his own craft, but in ship
ping circles generally. The schooner at
once headed for home, and will arrive
here probably inside of the next three
weeks She has made only a light catch,
and, according to report, has only 395
sealskins on board.
The steamer Belgic sailed yesterday af-
ternoon for Japan and China. Her passen-
ger list was not large, and it would seem
that but few people are visiting the Orient
while the present pleaSantness is going
on between the Emperor of the Flowery
kingdom and the Mikado of Japan,
Among those who did go, though, were
several distinguished people. Prince Ko-
matsa, second cousin TO the Mikado, his
secretary, Mr.. Nagasaki, and servants, q.
Shlba, the Korean Minister, and United
States Minister DENLY, were cabin passen-
gers. The vessel also carried an unusually
heavy cargo, in which was large quantity
of -four.
The repairs to the river steamer Mary
Garrett were completed yesterday morn
ing. A gang Of men was employed on her
all night long. By 10 o'clock she was once
more in service. and last night made her
regular run to Stockton
Inc excursion yacht FL Primero, owned
by h. L. Hopkins, was out on the bay
yesterday with party of excursionsts
aboard. Those on board were personal
friends of Mr.. Hopkins. Late in the after
noon she went outside the heads and
sailed for Santa. Cruz and other points of
in nlerest along the coast.
Tomorrow being d legal holiday, the
various deDaltments of the HarbOr Com
mission will be closed. There will be no
loading or unloading of vessels. Except

WREDE IS LUCKY.
Two Charges Against Him Dis

missed without Evidence.
Henry Wrede, alias Peter Short, the
groceryman who was arrested on Tuesday
for creating a disturbance in the Receiv-
ing Hospital by offering to fight DIR. Deane
and for resisting an Of1iceT, Policeman j.
B. Collins, is a lucky man.
After being locked up on Tuesday he
gave $40 cash bail and was released. Next
morning when the cases were called in
Judge Joachimsen's court Wrede did not
appear. His bail was declared forfeited
and a bench warrant was issued for his
arrest.
The warrant was given TO Police man
Collins and he went to Wrede's grocery on
Seventeenth and Guerrero streets. but
could not find him. Then he went 10 the
SeventeenIh-street station and left the
warrant there to be served. Wrede's
brother had told him that Henry would
surrender himself at the Seventeenth-s street
station,
Henry did not surrender himself till
Ihursday morning, when he was released
on his recogniZance by Judge Joachimsen
OF charge of disturbing the peace and
on 5000 bonds on the felony charge of re-
sistiDg an officer. But the unusual kind
ness was extended To him of the forfeiture
of his cash 0ail of $40 being resclnded and
the money handed back to him.
Yesterday morning the Judge heaped
more kindness upon him by dismssing
both cases without hearing any evidence
for the prosecution. Policeman Collins
was astOunded upon entering the court
to learn that the cases were dismissed and
to be informed by one OF Wrede's friends
that Henry was determined to "Dreak"
him for arresting him and was to bring
him before the Commissioners.
Henry has pull somewhere. He seems

A QUEER INDUSTRY.
ICatching Young Mud Turtles for the

Have you ever eaten terrapin a la Mary

haven't The chances are that you have
eaten mud-turtle a la Maryland. There
are undoubtedly several places in San
Francisco that serve teTrapin, when they
have il, but most of them serve the small
soft-shelled Inhabitant of the Alameda and
Marin County marshes, and even an ex-
pert cannot detect the difference-that Is,
when it is cooked a la Maryland.
In fact-the mud-turtle industry is an I'M
portant one, when the large number of
men engaged in 1t is considered. 1t is i'm
possible to tell the exact number but they
are scattered all along the shores of the
bay, and even up the San Joaquin River
as far as Stockton. And il pays we'll for

When mud-turtle is taken to market il

The meat of the former, If anything, is
much more tender than the latter. and the
shape of the bones of the two is exactly
alike. If the meat of the two was sim ply

be detected, but otherwise it is i'm possible

Now Asking Support from this
City.-NervOus PrOstra-
ton 2

In August, 1885, the Board of Commits
sioners, previously appointed located the
Soldiers Home at Grand Rapids. This was
done by vote of Aaron II. Bliss. Bliss
had voted for Owosso on several ballots but
turned against this city on the final.
From the Detroit Free Press we take the
following: ION Friday Col. Bliss, of Sagi-
nav, told Mr.. Remck of the board that he
would never vote to locate the Home at
Grand Rapids and again OH Saturday morn
ing he reiterated the same promise to the
same gentleman" With this kind of re-
cord Bliss asks for votes from this city. 1t
is said he was taken with nervous prOstra-
ton before casting the deciding vote against
OwOssO.
The location of the Home here would
have been the finest thing that could ever
have happened to the city.
Let every laboring man, merchant and
professional man in the city think of this
before casting ballot for Bliss delegate.
MOntcalm county, i'm Bliss district while
he was in Congress has elected all instructed
