FRASIER AGAIN AT LARGE.
He MADE HIS ESCAPE FROM DEP
UTY SHERIFFS AT THE NEW
CITY HALL.
WHILE He WAS BEING TAKEN INTO
COURT FOR Arrangement
FOR CRIME.

William Frasier, bold highwayman,
who has been in the hands of the police
since January II last, made good his escape
from two Deputy Sheriffs at noon
yesterday.
The prisoner was among a bunch of
eleven who were taken from the County
Jail in charge of Deputies Ike Rosenheim
and John w. Tracy, to be arraigned before
Judge Wallace. All were landed safely in
the tanks at the City Prison, and the count
was still correct when the time for convey
ing them to the court arrived. The men
were chained together in handcuffed pairs,
and marched along the corridors to the
courtroom, and were seated inside the rail
lngs to wait their turn for arralgnment.
When Frasier's name was called no one
responded, and hasty investigation
showed that he was missing. The dep
uties say that the corridors in the vicinity
of the courtroom were crowded as they
passed along with their charges, and that
some one must have passed Frasier kew,
with which he unlocked the cuffs and
then made his way out of the building
with the streams of people who were going
and coming.
The Chief of Police was immediately
notified of the escape, and men were sta
toned at the ferry landings and depots to
catch FRASER II he attempted to leave the
city.
Under Sheriff Clack said last even
ing that the Sheriff would make thorough
investigation of the matter and that if the
deputies were found culpable both would
undoubtedly lose their positions.
FRASER, with John Smith and John Will
son was arrested on January IA on a
charge of robbery for compelling George
White, a groceryman, on Bush and Franklin
CT tO n IS ~ =;
the point of a revolver. Later the police
decided that the same trio were guilty of
the robbery of a Jackson-street car, when
the conductor and gripman were relieved
of their valuables.
In both cases the prisoners were fully
identified. Frasier is known to have reIa-
| tives in Minneapolis and New York and it
is thought that he will not linger long in
the State if he is permitted to escape from
the city.

work until the Macarthur Forrest people
got out their patents and made the process
practicable one on Il large scale. quiz
many persons deny the right OF these
English inventors, or their American
representatives, to collect royalty on tnelr
patents, and several suits nave therelore
been instituted The answer TO one OF
these suits will interest those who are using
the process-some, by the way, without
paying ROYALTY. The following IS from the

the result that the affair was a success in
every particular.
Shattuck's Hall was handsomely deco
rated for the occasion with festoons of
bunting and profusion of choice flowers
and smilax There were present about 200
guests, and the costumes OF the ladies were,
as a rule, models of the dressmaker's art.
Powdered hair and the reproduction of the
old Colonial style of apparel lent charm
to the scene, which, to say the least, was
fairly enchanting. Many of the gentlemen
appeared clad in the proverbial knicker-
bockers, but the latter-day dress-suit was
by far more common. Dancing commenced
at and was continued until midnight.
AS an outcome of Wednesdays meeting
it is probable branch of the society known
as the Colonial Danes of America will be
formed in the near future. Mrs. Selden
Wright and Mrs. George a. Crux are the
only two ladies in California who are mem
bers, and, as the national society has
authorized them to proceed, circle will
be formed here in the near future. Ac
cording to the rules; however, the ladies
must first join the organization in the State
in which their ancestor or ancestors rem
dered service or held Office during Colonial
times, after which they may become men,
bers of the local circle.

FIRST SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Good Music, but Few People Were Present to
Enjoy It.


Enjoy It.
Unfortunately the musical public seems
to have imagined Wednesday afternoons
symphony concert at the Auditorium was
rehearsal. On the contrary, however, it
was the only symphony concert that the
Metropolitan Musical Society will give this
week, and an excellent one it was too,
as the few dozen people, sprinkled like
GASES among the dreary desert of empty
benches, testified by their enthusiastic
applause.
The orchestra, which had been aug
mented from the night before by several
instruments, was in excellent form and
rendered the symphony with as much vim
as if the house had been crowded In the
ICON motto" movement the trying passages
for the horns were rendered without slip;
indeed, the wind instruments, both reeds
and brass, did good work all through.
Massenet's Lies Erinnyes" (antique
tragedy by Leconte de Lisle) is the style of
work in which Scheel excels most as a con-
ductor. The voluptuous swing of the
"Greek Dance" and the brilliant orches-
trail coloring of the whole four numbers
were rendered in manner which made
the tone-painting aglow with life. Carl
Grienauer ably seconded the conductor by
his playing of the violoncello solo in the
religious scene. The rest of the programme
included works by Cherubini, Brahm and

The Figure for the City Hall Dome Is
Satisfactory.
Mayor Sutro, Auditor Broderick and
City and County Attorney Creswell, as City

F. Marion Wells, who was awarded the
contract for the colossal female figure
which is to adorn the dome of the tower

speeding the clay cast of the figure which
the sculptor has just finished.
The huge statue, which when cast in
white metal will weigh over five tons,
stands in the yard of Mr.. Wells residence
and presents an imposing appearance.
The Commissioners were pleased with
the effect of the figure, and expressed
the opinion that it would be satisfactory to
the people.
The matter will be discussed by the Com
missioners at the regular meeting on Mon
day morning next and the figure will
probably be accepted at that time. The

ceeded with Immediately thereafter, and
the statue will be ready for placing on the

CRAIG DID NOT IDENTIFY.
Behrend Joost Sues for a Lost One
Thousand Dollars.

Lee D. Craig, the notary, is being sued
by Behrend Joost to recover $1,000 which
he paid to a man calling himself Charles
A. Anderson and from whom Joost sup
posed he had bought IA lot.
In his complaint Joost states that being
DESTROYS of purchasing some lots in San
Mateo County, which he found belonged
to Charles A. Anderson, in April, 1891,
a deed was drawn up and signed by man
who, although he wrote Anderson's name,
still was not named Anderson nor was he
the owner of the lots which, cost thought he
had bought. Not knowing that anything
was wrong, however, the plaintiff alleges
that he paid the supposed Anderson $1,000.
After the deed of conveyance was deliv-
cred to him, Joost states he looked up the
record and found that the man who signed
the deed was not Charles Anderson who
owned the lots, and a short search de-
veloped the fact that the signer had left
for parts unknown, taking with him the
plaintiffs $1,000.
To recover his money Joost is suing
Craig, the notary, who verified the deed,
and also his bondsmen, John II. Wise and
Richard +. Knox. Joost alleges that Craig
did not take proper care in identifying the
man whose signature he was attaching,
and to his negligence is directly due Joost's
loss.

Gold in Mercury Baths.

Numero us inventors have tried to get UP
an apparatus to obtain gold from placer
mines, and especially where black sands
are abundant A new machine has lately
been tried in Salt Lake, and is to be brought
to California to be worked on our ocean
beach sands. The machine is thus de-
scribed in the Salt Lake Tribune: 1t is
called the Utah, and was invented by NJ.
A. Peters of Salt Lake Utah. The device
is adapted exclusively to the handling of
placer ground, and for simplicity the
process is possibly unrivaled. The ma
terial is poured into hopper, from which
it passes into a metallic cylinder or stand
pipe, which is kept constantly filled with
water. In this pipe is an endless chain
that segregates the sand, cutting it into
pieces and particles, that is drawn through
the pipe into and through a charge
quicksilver, that rises to the same level in
the pipe as that in the bed into
which the pipe extends downward,
of the bottom. Through the pipe
the sand passes, getting water bath as it
descends until it reaches the mercury.
Trough the mercury in the pipe it is
forced to the space below, where it is diff
fused and begins its upward course to the
surface, the mercury being kept in motion
by a set of agitators that revolve in reverse
the sand so that every particle is exposed
to the action of the quick. Reaching the
surface, after having twice passed through
the volume of mercury and thus had a
double bath, the sand is taken up by the
sheet of constantly running water, measur-
ing, in the standard machine, quarter of
miners inch, and requiring pressure of
from three to five pounds, and passes into
sluice, thence on to the dump. Mean
while the metallic value of the dirt is re-
tanned In the mercury, and the run having
been made, is drawn off through pipe be-
low IN the form of an amalgam, to be re-
torted In the usual way.
The owners, consisting of the inventor
and Mr.. Frank Enzensperger, claim as the
principal merit of the amalgamator its
ability to separate the gold from the black
sand, and the great feature in which it de-
parts from all others is the principle of
agitation, that keeps every grain of sand
In motion. Machines are to be made with
capacity of forty tons daily.
With reference to this The CALL has to
say that there is no new principle involved,
though the details doubtless differ from
former machines. There have been dozens
OF appliances for forcing sands through
columns or baths of mercury, none of
which have been successful on large scale.
The trouble is that the sands collect in
small Jumps when immersed in mercury
and that metal only reaches the gold on
the outside of such humps, not touching
that on the inside. Agitators of manV
kinds have been used, but neither quick
silver nor molten lead baths have ever
been successfully applied for more than
experimental purposes.

STANFORD ATHLETES.
What the College Boys Can Do on the Track
and Field

The following letter from the Stanford
University regarding the athletes who will
wear college colors to-day at the Olympic
Club grounds will interest all amateur ath-
letes, as the ability of the men is rated:
On Washington's birthday nine athletes will
represent Stanford in the Olympic field events
just what they will accomplish is not vet cal
culaole, but that they will make good showings
is admitted on all sides. Ever since the new
elnder track has been completed dozen or
nfteen men have been at work under Coach
hunters supervision. Pcrceptble improve
ment IN most cases has resulted. None of the
athletes have yet reached the degree of skill
they viii surely display on the next intercol-
ieg1ate field day. Track Captain Brown says
that the number of men who will soon be in
training will be greatly increased and some
surprising developments may be looked for
In the 100 yards Fry, Knowles and Bernard
VIII uphold Stanford's reputation in good
