THE UNION CLUB,

Organization Effected Last Night With
 Nearly One Hundred Charter Mem " bers.
 The members of the new social club held a meeting in the board of trade rooms last night and effected organization. John Moriarty acted as chairman and James E Madigan kept a record of the minutes. A good deal of discussion was indulged in as to the selection of a suitable name. and it was decided to adopt the appellation of the Union Club, and as such the new club will henceforth be known.
 The committee on constitution and by laws submitted their report. a portion of which was adopted. Ii was voted that the charter remain open until June p. The annual membership dues will be S24, with an initiation fee of $25 for charter mem. bers. After the charter closes the initia- ton fee will be $40.
 The officers will consist of president. two vice presidents. a secretary and treasurer who. with ten other members, all of whom shall be elected at the annual me' ting. shall constitute board of gov trnors of fifteen. The regular officers will hold office for one year and | the board of governors for two years, five members retiring each year. It was | deemed advisable to defer the elsction ot permanent officers until some future meet | Ing. The club is now an assured success, tue number of members already on the list being ninety -four, and 1t is expected that several others will come in before the charter is closed
 The session was most harmonious one and the projectors of the scheme must have felt pleased at the large "umber OI prominent and influential citizens who have answered the call to act upon the constitution and assist in selecting a suita | ble name.

The story of the play is perhaps the most charming rendering of this age of Iters- ture. The characters are exquisitively de- veloped upon lines entirely unconventional and thoroughly characteristic of the period dwelt upon. The solution of the plot IS strangely weird, powerful and interesting. In the conduct of the play Mir Potter gives much more importance to the hypnotic in fuencs than does Du Maurier. As repre- scented by Mir Palmer great company there IS not a moment of realism lost. Under the able guidance of Mir wm A Bradys ''Trilby" wili. get grand first prodRptscn at JaeQues Friday niaht, =

MINOTIE c. .YOUNG'S BAD TEMPER.
This Time 1t Leads Him to Strike a
Woman.
That is How Mrs. T. Z. @. Yale Says
She Came by the Wounds
She Got Last Night.

Minotte G. Young, who resides at 1415
Twentieth street, is again in trouble.
According to the story told by Mrs. T.
L. q. Yale, he last night made an un-
successful attempt to brain her with a
piece OF wood. She also says he fired
three shots from revolver at her, none
| OF which, however found their mark.
About $50 o'clock a telephone message
was received at the police station from
/ Twentieth and o streets, calling for OIL
GERS to hasten out there, ami Officers Ash
and Talbot responded. The woman was
found in room at Jacob Gebert's saloon
suffering from wounds On the head She
said that Young had struck her with a
piece of stove wood. She had been
bleeding profusely.
Mrs. Yale said she had rented a room
in the Young domicile, and last night,
hearing that the family had some letters
belonging to her, asked Mrs. Young for
them. She says Mrs. Young requested
/ her son to look tor the letters, which he
/ did, but failed TO find them. His failure
/ brought on a wordy conflict between him
! and his mother.
! According to the woman's story,
/ Minotte \ GouDg went down stairs and re-
. III h0u al GlSu Will q u6dNN plSCS OF w OOG.
Again hot words followed between the
mother and son, and finally the latter
made demonstration toward his mother
as though he was going to strike her
| In order to prevent Young from strik-
| ing his mother, Mrs. Yale got between
/ them, when the young man brought the
piece of wood down on her head. She
ran out of the house, and Young tolIowe ed
! her TO the sidewalk, where she says he
/ again struck her, intlicting severe scalp
! wound. He would have struck her again
had it not been Tor the arrival of a num-
/ Oer of young men.
Officers Ash and Talbot made search
| for Young, but he had gone away and
| could not be found. Mrs. Yale was taken
to the Receiving Hospital where her
wounds We're treated.
Young is the same person who was
punished for a vicious assault on Jacob
Gebert some time ago. He appears to
have an uncontrolIable temper.

QUEER PHENOMENA IN The OCEAN.
An UpheavaI on the Island Of San
Miguel.
Changes Made on the Shore Line
What the Owner of the Island
Has to say About 1t.

James A. Barwick, Director of the
State Weather Service in this city, yes
terday received the following letter from
William G.. Waters. owner and occupant
of San Miguel Island. one of a group of
four or five islands lying off the coast of
Santa Barbara. The letter is dated the
18th of this month, on the island, and
says:
James Il. BdraUicE-DEAR SIR: There
has been quite commotion on San Mig
uel Island. The land which formed the
high bluff on the west side of the harbor
has sunk more than sixty feet and forced
itself under the beach, not only raising
1t, but stones which had lain at the
waters edge for years are now fifteen
feet above it.
The west side of the harbor will be en-
tirely changed, and boats cannot come so
near the shore as formerly.
The extent of this upheaval along the
shore is more than LOCO feet, and the land
or some of it's over thirty feet above
the beach. SO sudden was the change
that fish and crabs were left high and
dry thirty feet above the water.
l felt shake last Thursday, the 7th of
March, about P. NJ, but as the wind
was blowing hard at the time | thought
but little about it. On Sunday l found
out the cause. This may not be OF inter-
est to the Weather Bureau, but it may be
to science.
Ii you have time TO spare, and would
like to overlook the island, come 10 Santa
Barbara. Stop at the Arlington. with my
old friend 4. w. Gaty, who will tell you
how to get here. Ii you have any spare
rain, send me about ten inches more.
Sincerely yours,
CAPTAIN WILLIAM G.. WATERS.
! LATER.-Since writing my letter the
captain OF my sloop has come into the
harbor. He says: There is one fathOm
more water where l anchor than betore''
| he also says the harbor on the west sid
| is deeper than before the upheaval.
Have there been any shocks from
| earthquakes on the mainland, and was
| This one? | am in doubt. W.
! Some days since-but later than the
date mf toned by Waters-there was a
! slight j Aock of earthquake felt on Mount
| Hami4 on. Santa Clara County, where the
Lick Observatory is located. 1t was
short and sharp, and OF the vertical kind,
| just such as would have caused the mp
heaval at San Miguel Island.
The instrument used for registering
! siesmic distur Dances at the Observatory
| showed a vertical displacement of about
| d halt-inch. The disturbance was not felt
| elsewhere at least none was reported.
1t is not unlikely that the San Miguel
shock had sometlng 10 do with that ex-
| perIenced IN Santa Clara.

THE DANCER" LINE.

That of the River to be Known Of
ficIaIly as Tweuty-Eight Feet.
During the January storm, when the
river was pretty we'll up. the RECORD
UNION protested against Forecast Of
1icer Hawmon of San Francisco referring
10 the so-called danger line" at Sacra-
mento when the river was but twenty
five feet above low-water mark. In De-
cember, 1892, the river reached twenty
eight feet six inches in front OF this city,
and there was then no danger except to
low lands south OF the city.
Director Barwick's attention was called
TO the matter, and he admitted that it was
wrong 10 refer TO twenty-five feet OF
water as the danger line at this point
since the river could carry thirty odd
feet, SO far as the Sacramento levees are
concerned. AS a matter OF fact, however
the 1olo levees would be overtopped be-
fore that point was reached, and thus i'm
mediate relief be given to the river.
Director Barwick at once opened corre-
spondence with the w Gather Bureau at
Washington, with the result that-for
official purposes-the so-called danger
line has been changed from twenty i've
10 twenty-eIght feet.
During the last fifteen years the highest
stages Of the water In the river opposite
this city have been:
1S7S February 25th, IS feet inches
los1-... February 4th 26 feet inches
1So9. december 12th, p feet
1SS2.....-.-- May 3Oth, =. leeJ 2 inches
s32 .-...----. December 21th, IS feet inches
Since then the bank on this side Of the
river has been raised several feet and it
is doubtful ii rise OF thirty-hve feet
above low-water mark-proyided the
west side levees were to hold tast-would
seriously affect the city.
