NEW FERRY BUILDING.
The Harbor Commissioners Have an
Excellent Model OF the
Structure.

A fine model of the proposed new ferry
buildings at the foot of Market street has
just been com pleted, and is now in the
hands of the Harbor Commissioners 1t is
the work of Frank Happersberger. the
well-known local sculptor, and in execu-
ton 1t is in every way a credit to him.
1t is based on the designs of Architect
Pelton, and there are but very few depart
ures from the original plan of A. Page
Brown. The changes are principally in
regard to the arches.and material. Colon
nades are substituted for the arches, which
were in the plans made by Mr.. Brown.
AS to the material it was originally in
tended to use brick, but this idea has been
abandoned, and it is now proposed to use
white marble instead. This, in the
opinion of the Commissioners, will add a
much handsomer effect to the appearance
of the building. There are several other
changes, but they are of a minor nature.
The model brings out every line, angle
and curve splendidly, and shows the per-
feet proportions of the whole as it will be
when completed. The Commissioners are
very much pleased with the design.

SAVED BY A BULKHEAD.
How the Triton Boathouse Was
Kept From Total De-
StruCtion.
New Street improvements on
Selby's Cove Crowd Out
Old Landmarks.

The Triton Boat Club, whose handsome
headquarters on Selby's Cove, North
Beach, have been a familiar sight for
years past, has been compelled to adopt a
novel expedient to save its house from to-
tai destruction.
Several months ago it was decided to
unite Montgomery avenue and North
Point street by filling in portion of the
cove to extend the avenue, and after cut
ting through a sand hill on North Point
street dump the debris into the cove to
complete the FILL"
1t so happened that the lighthouses of
the Triton and Dolphin clubs stood on the
beach precisely where the intersection OF
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-04

the two thoroughfares would come, and
the management of both clubs were mott
fed of the proposed improvement and of
the fact that unless they moved their
h ouses, and that speedily, they would be
buried under the thousands of tons of sand
and rock soon to be dumped ON to the
beach or pushed off into the water by the
same.
The directors of the Dolphin Club saw
no alternative but to move, so they reluct-
antly advertised for bids for their old
house and negotiated for site at the foot
of Van Ness avenue, where handsome
house is now under way. The Tritons
wrestled with the problem for some time
and finally decided not to move. For ten
years they had skinned the quiet waters
of the picturesque cove in peace and quiet
and many of the older members were so
10th to leave the time-honored spot and
seek new quarters that for a time it was
feared that the club must go to pieces
Finally an engineer whom the club
numbers among its members hit upon a
plan that showed the way out of the
dilemma and the Triton house will con-
tinue to be fixture at the cove. The
engineer by little calculating found that
the proposed fill would bring the surface of
the street about on a level with the second
story windows of the house and that a
properly constructed bulkhead strong
enough to Withstand the immense strain
that would be put upon it would preserve
the house until the packing down of the
rock and sand obviated the danger of a
landslide.
The club unanimously decided to 60 to
the necessary expense, and now the second
story windows peep just over e tall bulkhead
and the scrapers may dump rock and sand
at their will-the house is safe. When the
street is complete a door into the house
will be cut at the present level of the
second-story windows and access to the
boats aud water had by means of a stair
way down the face of the wall which is to
keep the waters of the cove from encroach-
ing on the street.

WHAT CAN BE Done For PUBLIC BATH
ING.-An English parish council clerk gives
an account of what the council of his VII
lage has done in the provision of public
bathing from which something can be
learned. The council hired land adjoining
stream, ankle-deep at one place, with
gradual descent and gravel bottom. Two
old railway-cars were bought, reprinted
and fitted up with pegs and other conve-
nlences for the disposal of clothes. The
cars were made open to the river and the
river was inclosed with corrugated iron
sheets, so as to increase the privacy of the
bath. The place is open for bathers from
. A. NJ. to 9 P NJ, week DAYS, and 6 to 10
Sundays. The cost OF an attendant is 81 %
week. Two afternoons are set apart for
females from to 4 80 P. NJ. The cost for
the years maintenance will be about $28,
and this includes new ladders for entrance
and exit to the water and diving board.
The baths are immensely appreciated in
the village and the place is crowded daily.
The young men are forming swimming
and polo club and organizing a tournament
OF aquatic sports for the winding up of the
season.
PERFUMING FLOWERS ARTIFICIALLY.-
Flowers that have lost something of their
perfume are now scented arti6cially by
watering them with an alcoholic solution
of essence, using a little glycerine to fix
@11 E.. ,s-1a -
composed of 100 grammes of glycerine and
10 grammes OF essence of violet. In many
places while scented violets are COMPARE
lively rare the unscented kinds grow wild
in great profusion. These are now bought
up in large quantities, scented artifcially
and put into the market in advantageous
competition with the perfumed violets
grown by the horticulturist Cut flowers
which have wilted from time or transport
are revived by being plunged into a
weak solution of sal ammoniac. Flowers
which have little or no scent are also per-
fumed for sale by being put into box with
ice and then saturated with current Of
carbonic acid charged with perfume.
A WoRKMAN's SoAP.-Among the innu-
merable samples of soap now turned out
from the soap factory is a cake called "the
master mechanics extra" This soap has
been prepared especially to meet the very
exacting requirements of those who work
among machinery. 1t removes immedi-
ately iron rust, oil and CRIME, and leaves
the hands smooth and unstained. Being
made from palm oil, it is claimed to have
beneficial effect in cases of burn or
scald.
Libel once meant any little book, but as

Of the election districts outside of the
cities of New York and Brooklyn, or
"above the Harlem," show net Re-
publican gain of IL, $3.50 compared with
the vote two years ago. Maintaining
the same average the gains will reach
23, 600 outside of Greater New York. In
the two cities below the Harlem, the
Democratic plurality of 80, ,343 two years
ago has been reduced about IL 200, Civ
ing the state to the head of the Repub-
ican ticket by $4,000 plurality in round
numbers. The two branches of the leg
islature remain as before under the di-
rection of the Republicans. The elec-
ton throughout the state was orderly
and rapidly conducted.
Vote Shows a Falling Of.
The figures from New York city in
the early evening showed that there
was little or no chance for the Demo-
cratic state ticket, for the meager ma
jorities given in the various districts
indicated so small a plurality that it
would not affect the nominal plurality
which the Republicans bring down to
Harlem bridge.
The total vote of the state shows a
falling off compared with the vote of
1898, the decrease being confined, how
ever, to the districts north of the Har-
lem river. The city vote is fully equal
to that of two years ago.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The election in

state. The fight was between the
straight Tammany ticket ON the one
side and the fusion of Republicans and
Independents on the other. On ac-
count Of the various offices voted for
the returns were late coming in, but
Tammany's victory was never in doubt
and its plurality will probably be be-

the Independent County Democratic
organization was considerably below
10000 and the Good Government ticket
vote will scarcely reach 1000. The
Socialists polled more than 5000 votes,
which makes them the third party in

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Great interest
was manifested here in the legislative
elections throughout the country, as
they will materially affect the control
of the United States senate Up to
now the standing in the senate was as
follows: Republicans, AZ; Democrats,
80; Populists, 6; vacant (Dem,), l.;
total, SO. AS the result of the cleo
tions the Democrats will lose and the
Republicans will gain senator from
Maryland and Ohio. The other legis-
lative elections do not appear to affect
the standing in the senate, as Ken
lucky and Mississippi remain Demo-
cratic, the latter certainly and the
former probably, while Iowa continues
Republican. Utah chooses two United
States senators for the first time, but
the complexion of the legislature is not
vet certain.

other circumstance is also considered
significant, namely, that carpenters
were engaged in snoring up the floor
of the second story directly over the
boilers, in order to

of heavy machine which had been
placed in Dunlap's machine shop. The
men who were at work at this job were
buried in the ruins. Little credence is
given to any theory, however, except
the original one, viz: that the boilers
exploded, demolishing the lower floors
and knocking away the supports from
the upper ones, which fell with the
weight of the machinery, etc., which
they supported.
The property loss will be entire for
the owners of the building and tenants.
1t is not believed that the ordinary in
surance policies cover the loss by ex-
plosion. The loss on the ruined part of
the building is about $4,000. The
Evening Journal loses about $1,000 by
the destruction of its machinery, etc.
The total loss on the other tenants is
placed at something over $4,000.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 6.-The elec-

campaigns known in Virginia for many
years. For several days past the Demo-
cratic managers have feared that some
of the senatorial as well as a number of
the house districts were in danger of
being lost by this lack of activity of the
canvass. The returns justify the fears.
The election was for half of the senate
(2O) and the whole membership of the
house of delegates (1O0.) The detailed
returns, so far as received, show that
the new senate will contain 81 Demo-
Gratis and 6 anti-Democrats, and the
house about 80 Democrats and 20 anti
Democrats.
