THE MARY DODGE
LONG overdue.
SHE Is Now TWENTY EIGHT DAYS
OUT FROM HERE FOR
TACOMA.
HAD DYNAMITE ON BOARD
FEARS FOR THE SCHooNER-QUIcK
PASSAGES OF OTHER
VESSELS.

The schooner Mary Dodge left here
twenty-eight days ago for Tacoma and has
not been heard from since. With the
weather which has been prevalent along
the coast during the past month the vessel
should have reached her destination long
ago, and the fact that she has not been
spoken or sighted excites fears for her
safety Vessels which left here long after
the departure of the Dodge have arrived at
the sound and several of them have again
sailed for San Francisco.
The Mary Dodge cleared for Tacoma on
the 9th ult. and then went out into the
stream to take in an additional cargo of
explosives. There were thirty tons of giant
powder and ten tons of dynamite put on
board the schooner, and on January % she
was towed to sea.
Three days later the ship John Ena
sailed for Port Townsend. Southwest
winds sent the vessel skimming along and
sne reached Puget Sound on the 10th inst.
The bark Germania left here on the Sd
inst. and arrived at the sound on the 18th.
The Melancthon sailed for Seattle on the
9th and made the trip up in eleven days.
The schooners Pioneer and Helen n.
Kimball left here on the 18th inst. and both
Salleu TO the SOunQ IN nine Gays, arriving
there on the 18th. In fact, nearly every
vessel which sailed from here for Puget
Sound within ten days after the Mary
Dodge has arrived at her destination.
The overdue vessel has as completely dis
appeared as if swallowed by the ocean.
Since she left here there has been some
very rough weather on the coast, and it
may be that the little vessel has been blown
out to sea. This is the theory advanced by
some, but others take no stock in such an
explanation of the schooner's long absence.
The fact that she had powder and dyna-
mite on board does not tend to quiet the
apprehensions for her safety At the office
of the owners, Charles Nelson & Co., Cal
ifornia street, nothing could be learned of
the Dodge, the people there being as much
in the dark as to her Whereabouts as every
one else.
They had heard nothing from the
schooner since she left, and were anxiously
awaiting advices from the agents at Taco
ma.
The Mary Dodge was built at Eureka,
Cal. in 1882. She is fore-and aft schooner
of 243.04 tons gross and 230.90 tons net. She
is 40 feet in length 80 feet in breadth of
beam and feet in depth of hold.

CREDITORS SEEKING HIM.
p. NJ. Maher, Editor of I" San Francisco
Town Topics" Has Left Town.

p NJ Maher, Editor of "S San Francisco
Town Topics Has Left Town.
P. NJ. Maher, the editor of San Francisco
Town Topics, weekly which was pub
lished at $40 Merchant street and is now a
thing of the past has left town.
This he did not do too soon, as his cred
itors and dupes were making it rather
uncomfortable for him, and Geary-street
lodging house keeper was about to have
him arrested on the charge of defrauding
an innkeeper.
Not long ago he attempted to obtain
500 from Charles T. Wilder, the Hawaiian
Consul General, under false Epretenses.
Mr.. Wilder states that last December he
had arranged with him to get out special
edition of his paper descriptive of the
Sandwich Islands, and about the time
Maher was to leave for Honolulu he
brought into his Office man who stated
that he would not allow the gay editor TO
leave the city until he paid 500 which he
claimed Maher owed him.
''Maher asked me to pay the money or
indorse his note for the amount so that he
could get away" said Mr.. Wilder, "but |
saw through his little game and told him
to clear out The special issue was never
published and doubtless never will be-"
A few months ago he registered at the
Baldwin Hotel and on the strength of his
paper was givenapartments He occupied
the rooms until requested to leave, and the
management hold his note for $3.50.

for grand larceny, because they wanted to
hunt up some witnesses.
Attorney Mack had been engaged by
Rand to defend him, and on Saturday he
gave Green $50 on condition that he would
leave the city and not appear to prosecute
the charge of grand larceny against Rand
Green, rather than risk the chance of
losing the whole $3.50, accepted the offer
and left the city.
When Rand's name was called in court
yesterday Mack rose and said that as the
complaining witness had left the city, and
no complaint had been filed against Rand
for grand larceny, there was no use prose
cutting him on that charge.
my client, continued Mack, sis willing
to plead guilty to the charge of vagrancy,
and I would suggest that your Honor SEN
tence him to forty-eight hours, which
would meet all requirements in the case"
Your client is willing to plead guilty to
the charge of vagrancy, is he?" queried
the Judge.
Eyes, your Honor" replied Mack.
All right" said the Judge II shall
sentence him to six months in the County
Jail"
Mack was staggered by the unexpected
action of the Judge, and uttered protest,
but the Judge cut him short. He then
threatened to obtain writ of habeas
corpus, and left the court with that object
in view.

MISS PARSONS LETTERS.
THEY WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED
AND COPIES SENT EAST
FOR COMPARISON.
CONTESTANTS WILL DENY THAT
JENNIE PARSONS EVER
WROTE THEM.

The Parsons will made its appearance in
Judge Stacks court yesterday, but only for
a moment. There was time for the court
to override a demurrer and to grant a
motion, however, both of which are per-
tinent.
The demurrer was submitted by the
attorneys for Mrs. Parsons daughter, Mrs.
Minnie Brooks. and was upon the technical
ground that the pleadings in the contest of
w. G. and Beatrice States, nephew and
niece of Mrs. Parsons, did not state facts
sufficient for cause of action. The de-
murrer was promptly overruled, however,
and then NJ. c. Hassett, who represents
the States, made his motion.
There had been given to the Commits
sioner who took testimony from Mrs.
Brooks in Chicago six letters, which were
claimed to have been written by Mrs. Par
sons from Portland, before she took the
fatal trip to this city, to her daughter in
New York, and Mr.. Hassett wanted to see
these letters and he moved that the attor-
neys for the other side be compelled to
show them. This they were very 10th to
do and Mr.. koscialowski made long
speech to the effect that the letters were
not yet introduced in evidence, but he was
ordered to produce the letters and Mr..
hassett will have them photographed and
the Photographic copies sent East, where
the contestants whom he represents can
have them compared with authenticated
writings of Mrs. Parsons, with a view OF
proving them forgeries. They will in the
same manner try to prove the will a for
gerry and also the fact that Mrs Brooks,
the legatee under the will, is not the dead
woman's daughter.

WARREN & MALLEY's CLAIM.
They Want Payment for Filling in
Fairs Water Lots.

They Want Payment for Filling in
Fairs Water Lots.
The hearing of the claim of Warren &
Malley against the estate of James G. Fair
came before Judge Trout yesterday. The
claim is for $9199 for work done on Fairs
waterfront property in the northern part
of the city.
The claim was opposed by the executors,
not because they did not think the claim a
just one, they said, but because they
wished to have all the facts of the claim
brought out in order to see whether or not
further work is necessary for the preser-
Walton of that already done. So far, ac-
cording to the testimony given by Mr..
Malley, Fair had paid over 100000 for
grading and filling in that property, and
should work stop now the sand would
commence to drift and much of the work
already done would go for nothing. Malley
said, too, that he and his partner had a
plant worth 100000, purchased for the
purpose of filling in the property and pur-
chased upon the prospects of the contract.
If this were compelled to remain idle it
would so cripple them financially that
they might become bankrupt
Messrs. Mitchell and McEnerney, who
represented the executors, asked for con-
tinuance to properly prepare their case,
and they were allowed until next Monday.

pheum, cashed his check on the Sisson-
Croker Bank for 81 80. When presented
for payment it was discovered that he had
no funds in the bank. To Brooks, the
druggist, of 1l9 Powell street, he owes
about 500.
Besides these, he owes 500 to Croudace
& Co., of $40 Merchant. and has borrowed
from numerous politicians, saloon men,
restaurant-keepers and business men.
About two years ago S. H. Collins, a
Kearny-street jeweler, had him arrested
for contiscating several diamonds For
this offense he served six months in the
County Jail. He is also said to have spent
some time in a Chicago prison as result
of an escapade with two young ladies of
that city. He is supposed to be now in Los

FAILURE TO PROVIDE.

Son Swears Out Warrant for His
Fathers Arrest.
1t is seldom that complaint is sworn
out by a boy against his father for failure
to provide. Such an instance occurred in
Judge Joachimsens court yesterday morn
ing.
Robert Fisher, boy IS years of age, ac-
companied by his mother, appeared in
court and swore out a complaint for the
arrest of his father, Julius Fisher, 919
Sanchez street.
The boy, who was corroborated by his
mother, said that since he had been able
to work he had gone to the country, saved
his money and given it to his father on re-
turning home. A few days ago he gave
his father $500, which he had saved from
his wages, and the old man kicked him ont
of the house, and has since refused to re-
turn the money or allow him to stay in the
house. He and his mother went to the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren and he was advised to swear out q
warrant for his fathers arrest.

one young man is dead and two others are
in the City Prison awaiting the result of
the Coroner's inquest.
Dennis McAuliffe, a tanner, was paid off
that night and started in to spend his

quickly enough to suit Henry Dawson and
James Dawson of % Randall street and
Frank Mahoney, and row ensued.
McAuliffe lived in the house of William
McNamee and the. two Dawsons and Ma
honey followed him home. They broke in
the front door of the house and made their
way inside. McNamee and l.. Jacobs, an
other lodger, armed with an iron bar and a
baseball bat, drove the intruders out OF the
house and Henry Dawson was hit on the
head. He went to the City and County
Hospital where it was found that his skull
was fractured. He died early yesterday
morning and his BODY was taken to the

vagrancy. He swindled w. Z. Green, a

WOULD ENGAGE THE QUEEN
AN OFFER MADE TO LILIUOKALANl
BY AN ENTERPRISING
SNOWMAN.
He THINKS THERE ISA FORTUNE IN
EXHIBITING HER AROUND
THE WORLD.

The enterprising American Snowman,
whether he be the owner of hurdy- gurdy
outfit, dime museum or circus, has long
ago established a reputation for sensational
originality. Even Phoenix" Barnum,
who was the pioneer in such work had his
best efforts eclipsed by some of his sue
cessors. No startling event has occurred
in years,that the Snowman has not seized
upon, and in some way or other managed
to make money out of.
In their efforts to satisfy the morbid
curiosity of the people who have had their
appetites for this sort of thing aroused,
and in order, too, to secure the elusive
dime these same showmen have not drawn
the line at anything. Respects for feelings
or regard for decency even have not been
considered, notably in the case of MUIR
derer Guiteau's clothes and an embalmed
body of an electrocuted assassin.
The latest move by the ubiquitous show
man has been made in Honolulu. Accord
ing to private letter received by gentle
tleman in this city dime museum man
ager who is now in the Islands has con-
ceived the notion that if he could prevail
upon ex-Queen Liliuokalani to place her.
self under his management for exhibition
purposes. Not only his fortune would be
| made, but the ex-Queen, he says, could
| raise sufficient funds to carry on revolu-
ton on a large scale if she so desired. Of
course the scheme depends upon two
| things, viz: first, that the ex-Queen is not
| sent to prison, and second, that she is will
| ing to join in the affair.
| The writer says that an offer of $500 a
week and expenses has been made by
| means of a letter that was sent to her
majesty, in which also was an elaborate
| outline of the proposition. The manager
| is very enthusiastic over it, but as he says
ceived to the letter, it is evident that her
| humbled majesty is not enrapport with
the plan. Those who know the ex-Queen
say that there is no probability of the offer
being accepted and that the showman's
letter will be treated with contempt.

THE SANTA FE,s CUT.
The Southern Pacific Will Not Meet II
at Present.

lh0 SOuthcTn Ill NOG meet LII

The action of the Santa Fe officials in
cutting the rates from that city to Chicago
So so on each ticket was source of some
surprise to the Southern Pacific people.
General Passenger Agent Goodman of the
latter road said yesterday that his line
would make no attempt at present to meet
the cut.
"We will refer the matter to the COM
mittee which was recently organized and
which meets in Chicago on Wednesday,"
said he. "Before we take any action we
will see what that body decides upon''
The cut by the Santa Fe is attributed to
the action of the brokers. They have been
giving commission of exactly the same
proportions as the cut just made on all
tickets over several other lines, and the
Santa Fe people, rather than pay this COM
mission, resolved to meet it with cut.
