Vigilant Wins the Race Yester-
day by an Accident.
INDIAN WAR TAKES A NEW TURN
Troops on Scene and Alarm Spread
ing to the SOuth-Many Negroes
Die of Starvation.

New London, July 30,-The Vigilant beat
the Defender today in a run of Ga miles
from Eaton Point, on Long Island shore,
five miles from Huntington HarDor, to
this port. The cup defender gave up the
race not far from this place, because her
steering gear became deranged.
When the Defender dropped out 1t was
estimated that she was fully five min
utes ahead of the Vigilant and was look
ed upon as a sure winner. But the unex-
pected accident occurred and the Defend
er received her first defeat.
Th result of today's race demonstrates
the fact that the Vigilant Is no match
for the Defender in any kind of weather.

ROSES IN WINTER.
An Old Fasteners First Impressions
of Alameda County-Raspberries
in December.

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 3.-Daniel H.
Fisher of Berlin, Pa, is visiting his rel
atives in this city, and his impressions of
California as he found it and as he ex-
pected to find it would fill volume. Al
though Mr.. Fisher is father of DR.. G. NJ.
Fisher of the Board of Health, throughout
all his long life he has never been out
side his native State before.
Il have heard about California all my
life" said Mr.. Fisher to-day, "and my son
and nv brother, who was Superintendent
of Schools of this county, have written me
a great deal, but what | have seen just
around the bay is revelation. When l
left old Berlin, which IS in the Juniata
River region, it was freezing and showing
and l was actually glad to leave the old
place for time. But when / got here I
never dreamed of what should see Peo-
pie who live in the East all their lives and
read of roses in bloom at Christmas do not
really believe it. | did not. l went
drive along the San Leandro road few
days ago, and L saw the last of
the seasons crop of raspberries. | did not
believe such thing possible, and when I
saw the floral sights in Golden Gate Park
l was partly incredulous that l was actu-
ally looking at natural scene. Now peo-
pie tell me that this weather is really
severe for California-that is piling it on
rather too thickly.
81 expected to find great deal of exag-
geration among California folks, but think
the boot is on the other foot. l see more real
life and progress and more practical ideas
carried to a successful conclusion than I
ever saw way back in Pennsylvania. Over
sixty wears | have lived at Berlin and have
been expecting to come out here some day
and satisfy myself that a lot l had been
told was not true. But when l got here l
had to confess l had not been told half
enough.
There are tens of thousands of people in
the East who doubt nearly all they hear of
California, but if they would just take a
trip out here they would change their
minds"
Then the old Fastener said with sigh,
II suppose I'll have to go back soon.''

A New Clerk Now Has Charge
of the Accounts at the
Almshouse.
THE BOOKS WERE MUDDLED.
No Shortage Is Believed to Exist.
Will D. Griffin Is the New
Employe.

J. c. Marshall, the appointee of the new
Board of Health to the position of clerk of
the Almshouse, has resigned his position,
his successor has been appointed, and the
members of the board are breathing long
signs of relief that nothing has transpired
to mar the harmony of their official lives.
Of course Marshall's was political
plum, and though the appointee who had
rendered political service was an elderly
man, it was hoped that he would be able
to fill the berth to the satisfaction of Super
intendent Weaver and his wife, who are cur
rently reported to have considerable say in
the management of the City's home for
the INDECENT. Such was not the case, how
ever, for within short time complaints of
his inability to keep the books of the insti-
tuition and also of his habits began to be
made, and before long there was cOnsid-
cradle friction at the Almshouse.
Some time ago Expert Atkinson, whose
duty it is to straighten out kinks in the &C
counts of the municipal officers and in
struct appointees who are not proficient In
bookkeeping, went to the Almshouse and
laid out plan for keeping the accounts.
Marshalrs predecessor followed the form
given him and got along swimmingly, but
with Marshall it was different. He did
not seem willing or able to follow the in
structions, and in short time his books
were in muddle. Vouchers were not to
be found and other necessary documents
were not recorded to the satisfaction of his
superiors.
He was asked to untangle the middle,
but denied that there was any necessity
for such action, and an expert was called
in to 'clear up the books" This was not
done at the instance of the Board of
Health but apparently at MarshalPs own
expense. Just what was found in the
books is not known at the Health Office,
but after the expert had been at work for
couple of weeks Marshall suddenly made
up his mind to resign, and did so in
short communication to the board, in
which he assigned no reason for his reso-
luton. This matter will not be acted on
until the next meeting of the board, but it
will certainly be accepted, for Superin-
tendent Weaver has already appointed
a successor, who has been in charge since
the LIST inst, the date on which Marshall's
resignation was to take effect.
The opinion is expressed at the Health
Office that nothing wrong was discovered
in MarshalPs books except general mud
die that left the officials whose duty it was
to keep track of them in doubt as to the
true state of the affairs of the institution.
1t is also said that Marshall's habits had
something to do with the sdisfavor with
which he was regarded at the Almshouse,
and particularly by Mrs. Wearer,. whose
sense of proprlety was shocked.
Marshalps successor is Will D. Griffin,
who was appointed by Superintendent
Wearer as soon as Marshall's intention of
resigning became known. He is said to be
a capable man and to thoroughly under
stand the duties he is expected to perform.

RUN DOWN BY A CAR.
An Old Lady Struck by North Beach
Dummy and Probably Fatally
Injured.

A street-car accident occurred last even.
ing at $50 at the corner of Jackson and
Mason streets, in which Mrs. McAllister of
1904 Taylor street was so seriously injured
that she was not expected to live the night
out.
Mrs. McAllister is an old lady nearing
co. who lived with her two married daugh-
tiers at the number mentioned. She had
been visiting Mrs. John McGrath at 1918
Jackson street during the afternoon, and
was on her way to the grocery store few
feet away, at the corner of Mason, on an
errand.
She was crossing Mason street when the
North Beach car in charge of Gripman
William Jenkens and Conductor George
Hillman rounded the curve. According
to the story of Gripman Jenkens the old
lady hesitated when she saw the car
coming, as though she intended letting it
pass in front of her. Then when 1t was
only about two feet away she started to
cross the track. The car was SO close it
was i'm impossible to stop it in time to save
her from being run down.
Jenkens' account of the accident is cor
roborated by other persons who saw it,
who said Mrs. McAlllster apparently be-
came bewildered and stepped in front of
the car without realizing the danger.
Ihey were OF the opinion that no blame
attaches to the men in charge of the car.
The injured lady was taken to Green s
pharmacy, at the corner of Mason and
Washington streets, where she remained
until $3.50 o'clock when she was removed
TO the Receiving Hospital. DR.. Fitzgib-
bon found that her right leg was broken in
two places, her left leg in one place and
her skull was fractured. Her death was
expected at any hour. Her two daughters
came to the hospital and their grief was
pitiful when they looked upon the man
pled body of their mother
