TWO MEN BADLY BURNED,
An Accident on the Bawnmore at the
Union Iron Works.

All <ACcIueht on the BaWnmOre at TN e
Union Iron Works.
A slight explosion of gas on the steamer
Bawnmore yesterday morning resulted in
severe injuries to two employees of the
Union Iron Works. The vessel is being
repaired at the latter place, and the two
men went into the hold with a lighted
candle. Immediately there was bright
Hare OF light and the men were knocked
backward. Their cries brought assistance,
ana their comrades carried them out on
deck: subsequently they were removed to
a nelghboring drugstore, where it was dis
covered that their hair had been singed
and their faces and Threats badly burned
Ihey were taken to their homes, and it will
be several days before they can go to work
again.
1t appears that David Llewellyn, a
brother of Hon. William Llewellyn, mem
Der OF the Assembly from Los Angeles, and
Frederick Pilgrim went into the tank
hold OF the steamer to make some repairs,
and when the explosion OF the oil gas took
place LleweIlyn was knocked down.
Pilgrim badly burned, hurried up the
ladder, but hearing the cries of his
wounded and suffocating companion
bravely went back into the oily tank and
carried him into the open air.
The BawnmOre is the unlucky ship of
the ocean. She has had accidents in every
portion OF the globe and suits without num-
Der. Several of her owners have been
bankrupted, and her captain is suing the
vessel for his wages.

was promoted eventually, at District En-
gineer P. H. Shaughnessy's suggestion, to
the position of driver of engine s. He
gained considerable prominence in the
Fire Department by his proficiency, and
from the time he obtained his appointment
up to the day he disappeared boarded at
the home Of his mother-in-law, but after
his marriage to Miss Brown was at home
but three nights, claiming that his duties
required his presence at the engine-house
the other nights.
He gave the name James Duffy on No
vember s, 1894, when he obtained the IL
cense to marry Miss Brown, and was
married under that name to her by Justice
j. E. Barry. When he obtained o license
to marry Mary McCurean on January 81 in
Oakland he gave the name Thomas J.
Duffev, and was married under that name
by Rev. Father Michael King. Duffey
swore also that he was resident OF Sacra-
mento and that Mary McCurean was
resident Of Oakland.
Duffey asked Rev. Father Corcoran to
perform the ceremony of the first mar
rage, but his request was refused on the
ground that the priest did not know him
we'll enough.
Ex-Judge f. A. Hornblower and Miss
Lizzie Brown, sister of the bride, were the
Brown. Miss Kittie Mcdonald, employed
in the California Biscuit Company's fac
tory, and Eugene Sullivan, who has no
known occupation, but makes his head
quarters at a saloon at Battery and Green
streets, were the bridesmaid and grooms-
man, respectively, at the second mar
rage"
Both the McCurean family and Miss Nc
Donald claim they knew nothing of the
first marriage when the second one took
place.
Duffey is man of considerable intelli-
gence, is sober and industrious, and made
for himself in the time he has lived in San
Francisco name for wonderful energy and
ambition. He was one of District Engin-
eer Shaughnessy's favorites and was dis
tinctly popular among his fellow firemen.
He is of dignlied presence, weighs about
IT'S pounds and is about 3 feet 10 inches
tall, but his otherwise good-looking face is
marred somewhat by deep pockmarks on
the nose and at each side of the nose He
wore when he left the city sack coat of
black, dark-gray check trousers and a red
dish brown Derby hat

OFFICER REYNOLDS CAPTURE.
Three Young Men Arrested for Attempted
Burglary.


Burglary.
For some time past numerous burglaries
have been attempted, and several have
been accomplished, in the vicinity of Clar-
endon Heights and the Western Addition.
Everything pointed to the fact that they
were committed by boys, and suspicion
fell upon three who have been watched by
the police.
They were George Wilson, alias Lynch,
and Thomas Lee, aged II years each, and
John Kearny, aged IS. Yesterday Police
Officer Harry Reynolds saw them on Clay
ton street and they made three different
attempts to break into houses. At the
third house the officer, with the aid of two
laborers, captured the young marauders
and locked them up on charge Of at
tempted burglary.
officer Reynolds is quite sure that these
are the troublesome thieves, and also that
they are the ones who forced an entrance
into Police Officer "Scotty' Campbell's
house a few days ago. 1t is likely that
other charges will be placed against them.

spoken ex-attorney should spend four DAYS
in jail if he did not pay it. Howe had $40
in his pocket, and some friend "staked"
him to the extent of $40 more, so he paid
his fine.
There was considerable objection from

davit filed by Spinnetti, and for the greater
part of the days session the time of the
court was taken up in listening to speeches
of vindication. 1t finally ended with the
ruling of the court that the affidavit SUBJ
mitted by Howe be thrown out because it
was scandalous and impairment, and that
this be done without prejudice to attorneys
Meldon and Herman, who, if this last
phrase had not been included, would have
been reflected upon. They were both in
cluded in the statements Of Howe. The
case comes up next Thursday for trial.

FRENCHMBN And PARISIANS
REV. E. ]. DUPUY LECTURES ON
SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF
HIS NATION.
PARIS Is Nor SO BLACK AS IT HAS
BEEN PAINTED-A Mock
ING CITY.

French Character" was the subject of
an amusing lecture last night in Union
square Hall by Rev. E. ]. Dupuy. The
speaker used his native language and most
of his hearers were members of the French
colony.
GAS rule, he said, the French live very
TRANQUILITY in their own country, and
trouble but little about the outside world
In the provinces the family exists almost
entirely in patriarchal sense, and there
is little individual independence. The
girls there can cook and keep house, but
they do not understand literature or art
II you CHANGED for instance to ask one of
them, Have you read Zola's novel Gle
Reve" You know he wrote that book for
young girls-she would probably answer
is it in verse or prose?' The provincial
girl, in short, can keep house, but you must
not expect her to make conversation. She
cannot do it.
THE Partisan is a being apart He is
volatile, inconstant, and like the Their
mometer he changes with the weather
1mpertinence is the Parisian's speciality.
! GU may go to America, Russia, Italy or
England, but you will not find real i'm
pertinence out of Paris. The Partisan can
be roughly impairment, but his mockery
is enveloped in politeness, like a pill in
sugar. The foreigner does not always see
through it. An Englishman, for instance,
never understands, on the contrary he
thanks the Partisan for his extreme polite
ness"
The speaker then explained how a
woman in a cloud" toilette, or a man with
ga caricature of face" can never take ten
steps in Paris without overhearing some
thing ear-tingling either from the passers-
by or the street gamins. ''But if you are
assailed this way it is better not to get
angry; you only expose yourself to fur
ther ridicule." Mr.. Dupuy stated, how
ever, that in spite of these Partisan pro-
clivities the Frenchman is courteous and
polite, both by nature and tradition.
Then he fired few shots into the Bourget-
Clemens controversy.
SIN America France has been treated as
immoral above all with regard to her
women. Well, it is unjust. Take any for
eigner, American or otherwise, when he
gets to Paris does he go to visit the libra
ries and the charitable institutions? No:
he seeks out the resorts that he condemns
elsewhere. France has more purity than
people believe, and she is perhaps wrong
not to defend herself little. She con-
tents herself, however, with struggling her
shoulders and attending to her own bust
ness"

GARCIA rs SORRY.


He Should Not Have Defaulted in His
Divorce Suit.
Frank Garcia, the barkeeper of a Mont
gomery-street saloon, kept by his father.
was before Judge Hunt yesterday in the
guise of one who had contempt for the
court. His contempt consisted is refusing
to obey the order of the court to pay his
ex-wife $75 month aiimony. Garcia had
let the divorce suit brought by his wife 90
by default, but at that time he never ex-
pected 10 be charged SIS a month alimony.
Had he had an idea to that effect at the time
he would have contested vigorously, and he
so explained to the court yesterday. He
declared that he had no interest in the
saloon where he works, but was EMPLOYED
at salary of s125 month. Should he
pay $75 of this out for the support of an ex-
wife, he represented, he would be seriously
handicapped in his race for living. He
therefore asked that the case be reopened
and that he be allowed to disprove the
grounds upon which his wife secured her
divorce from him.

to give the child to him. He had war

cries attracted the attention of passers-bv.

off without ringing the doorbell.
The matter was finally settled by giving
