THE SHOOTING OF DR.. PLoUF.
First Day of the Trial OF McGaughey
for Murder.

First Day of the Trial OF McGaughey
for Murder.
J. d. L. McGaughey, who shot DR.. John
E. Plouf on March 80 last, was on trial be-
fore Judge Belcher yesterday. Several
witnesses were examined, most of their tes-
timony going to show the facts of the shoot
ing on Market street and the possibility of
it being the result of malice and not of i'm
pulse as the defense claims.
Several physicians testified as to the
trouble between DIR. Plouf and McGaughey,
which led to the discharge of the latter and
of reported threats of McGaughey to get
even. Mr.. Barnes, the District Attorney,
read Plouf's dying statement, in which the
victim accused the prisoner.of maliciously
shooting him and without any provocation
having been given.
The defense will undoubtedly plead self
protection IN extenuation of the assault,
and will proceed on the lines suggested by
Detective Handley's testimony yesterday.
Handley testified that McGaughey showed
him mark on his face saying that Plouf
had struck him with his cane, and then
another witness will tell of seeing the
cane break in the scuffle on the Market
street sidewalk.

secretary and grand marshal. For the for
mer Office the candidates are John H.:
Knarston (incumbent), J. F. Martinoni
and J. J. Mollison. For the latter the can
didates are William Heath, d. P. Brown
and Fl. J. Collier. Deputy Grand Arch O..
III. Hoag will undoubtedly be advanced to
the Office of grand arch, and James A. De-
vote will be candidate for the vacancy
thus made. Grand Treasurer Chassagne is
candidate for reelection, and L. G..
Morelli is out for the office of grand
guardian.
Thursday night the st. Helena groves,
who have been drilling special team for
the work, will give an exemplification of
the secret work of the order. The session
will come to an end on Friday with the in
stallation of the newly elected officers.
Among the prominent and most re-
spected mem ers who will be found in the
convention is Louis F. Dunand. He was
elected noble grand arch in 1884, and it is
generally admitted that the real progress
of the order began under his energetic and
intelligent administration. The impetus
he then gave to its growth was felt for
many years and is still manifest.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-18

pected that 175 out of the total number
elected will be in attendance at the Grand
Grove session.
On the opening day the principal bust
ness will be the filling of vacancies on the
various committees and the reading of the
reports of the grand officers. In the re-
port of Noble Grand Arch ]. H. L.
Gerckens recommendation will be made
that California set the example for the
Druidic world by the establishment of a
special fund for the relief of the sick and
OF the widows and orphans of deceased
members. At present such relief is af-
forded by donations and these have be-
come so frequent that the treasures of
many groves are kept at low stage.
In the report that will be made by Grand
Secretary John H. Knarston it will be
shown that five new groves were instituted
during the past term, that two surrendered
their charters, that two were merged into
other groves, and that the membership
had suffered net loss of 1876.
Among the matters of importance that
| will come up for action will be the ''Ameri-
| canizing" of the order, an idea that is
most favorably considered by the large
| number of foreigners who now comprise
order.
| To-day there will be a formal reception
of the delegates by the st. Helena groves,
| including grand parade in the evening.
| On Wednesday evening there will be a
| banquet and ball.
The event of the session, the election of
| officers, is set for IL A. M. Thursday. In
| this connection there will be two interest
ing contests, those for the officers of grand

Both these improvements will begin on
the first of next month. The new cutter,
both hull and machinery, will be built in
San Francisco, but the refurnishing of the
Custom-house may not be given to local
merchants. Bids will be asked for it in
Washington as we'll as in San Francisco
and the lowest bidder under the specifca-
lions will get the contract.
Once the main object of his mission was
gained Collector Wise turned his attention
to other matters of interest. He discussed
the next Presidential candidates with
prominent Democrats, the wheat deal with
Chicago merchants, the San Francisco
Postoffice site with G. e. Kemper, chief
executive of the United States Architect s
Office, the silver question with some prom
inent BosUonians and the weather with
everybody.
MY son, it was hot back there; so hot
that it made man tired to walk" said he
yesterday.
Business was improving in the East.

people in Washington are more anxious to
get it built than we are. Secretary Carlisle
introduced me to G. E. Kemper, chief ex-
ecutive of the United States Architects
office, and that gentleman told me that
everything was in readiness for a start
just as soon as report was received from
Colonel Mendell and the other engineers
appointed to examine the site and report.
They have considerable data on the sub
iect in Washington, but they are waiting
to hear from the engineers before complet-
ing their plans and specifications. The re-
port has to be in Washington before July

fore bids for the building are called for.

A GONDOLA CAPsIzED.
An Accident at the Circus Royal Water
Carnival.


Last night shortly before the close of the
performance at the Circus Royal and
Water Carnival Venetian gondola con-
tanning three men, a boy and eight women
was sent on the miniature lake in the ring
The occupants of the float had harps and
mandolins and all were attired in gay cos
tunes representing boating scene in
Venice, when suddenly somebody moved,
the frail vessel capsized and all the occu-
pants went by the board.
The women were dripping wet, and the
men rescued them-that is, they thought
they did, but some one saw a foot pro-
truding over the side OF the gondoIa, and
one of the men turning the boat over found
one OF the women caught by a seat.
She was taken out insensible and carried
to a dressing-room where a physician
worked over her for twenty minutes before
she regained consciousness.
The woman, whose name is Emma Hoff-
man, was considerably bruised, but not
seriously hurt. The accident created con-
siderable excitement in the audience.

prettier scene than that which met the
eye off Meiggs wharf yesterday morning

tween the shipping at anchor in the offing.

Bay. Plunger. Annie, Thelma, Ella, Magic,
the launch Mile and several others. Out
IN the stream were the yacht Aggie and the
ships Wasdale, Boutwell,, Sierra Estella, ST.
Mungo, Royal George and several others.
The yachts of the club cruised about,
along the seawall and down past the CITY
front, with merry parties on board, and as
they went by the sounds of music family
came over the waters.
Angel Island was made shortly after
noon. A clambake was the first thing in
order and then followed games ashore and
boat races on the bay, the hours being
pleasantly begulled until it was time to re-
turn to the City.
The Naval Reserve has determined to
profit by its experience on the trip to and
from Santa Cruz. The officers of the
Olympia extended an invitation to the
reserve to use the vessel while she is in the
narDor ana the invitation was taken adj
vantage of yesterday. Almost fifty of the
reserves, in command of Lieutenant-C Com
mander Stable, went on board in the morn
ing and remained on the cruiser all day.
In the morning the young sailors were
instructed in the boat drill. First, they
were put through the exercise by the
officers OF the war vessel and then turned
over to their own officers, who put them
through their PAGES. The evolutions of
the boys called forth the plaudits of the
old salts. All hands showed an aptness
for the work, and more than that, desire
to learn. In the afternoon they were
taught the names of things marine and
how to handle them.
Another visit will be made to the cruiser
to-day, and tomorrow the Olympia will
leave for Mare Island.
At the meeting of the Harbor Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon the question
of raising the rents of berths came up. but
nothing definite was decided upon. the
reading of the report of Professors Soule
and Marx taking up the time of the board.
President Colnon took Commissioner
Cole to task in regard to an interview with
him published in the Chronicle. In the
interview Mr.. Cole declared that the
proposition of raising the rents would
drive shipping away from the harbor, and
he did not propose to stand in on such a
proposition. Mr.. Cole declared that he
had not seen the article and must have
been misquoted or misunderstood. The
martial spirit of Colonel Chadbourne was
appeased at the explanation, and Mr.. Col

He is bronzed from the heat, weary from

happy because the object of his visit to

is to be built in San Francisco at the cost
of $4,000 and the Custom house and Post
Office are to be refurnished throughout.

Tivoli Opera-House.

EThere was large audience at the Tivoh last
night to witness the production of Offenbach's
charming opera ola Perichole."
The performance proved to be one of the
most successful that have been given at the
T1voi for considerable time, both the new
prima donnas especially distinguishing them
selves. Laura Willard gave a very charm
ing rendering of her role the Peruvian
strolling singer La Perichole, and she was
much applauded and frequently recalled.
Louise Royce also sang and acted well as
Piquillo, the Perichole's friend and companion.
RaffaePs voice was heard to excellent advan-
tage in the role of Don Andres, the Viceroy of
Peru, and Hartman's rendering of the Marquis
de Santareno was much applauded. The Choir
uses were good, and special attention had been
paid to the staging and costumes.

Presidents name was being used without

Another matter I sought information
on was whether there was any chance of
the Republican and Democratic conven-
tions coming here. The subject is very
little discussed in the East. Those who
talk about the matter say they would like
to come to California, but that it is too far
away. We cannot tell, however, what a
year may bring torch, and one or the other
of the big meetings may be held in San
Francisco. Ii they should come | don't

evolution by the Royal Guards drew forth
much applause and the floats were very at

The Aloazar,

The racy way in which the Daily company
performed the humorous comedy, GA Night
Off," kept the audience at the Alcazar in con-
slant ripple of laughter all the evening.
Charles I. Eldridge gave a comically serious
rendering of the henpecked professor, JUS
tinian Babbitt, who attempted to bring out a
Roman play without his wife's knowledge, and
suffers in consequence. Al. FL. Hallett was the
manager of a transforming company to the
life, and AL c. Henderson as Dr. Damask was
natural ana effective.
May Nannary as Nisbie Babbitt added much
to the humor of the situation by her artless
acting, and all the other female parts were
well filled, especially that of Mrs Xantippe
Babbitt, in which Miss Margaret Marshall gave
the sort Of woman who makes a home miser-
able.
