Fatal Accidents in the Alps.

Some statistics have been published here
concerning the fatal accidents which have
occurred in the Alps during the year 1894.
Up to the present time the number of fatal
accidents reported is thirty-three, whereas
the average number during late years
amounted to forty-one. Among these thirty
three cases three were caused by lightning,
from which no death had been reported
for decades in the records of Alpine climb
ing. Two tourists met their deaths by the
fall of avalanches, two through the descent
of heavy stones, Miss Davidson, the daugh-
ter of an English vicar, being one of the
victims. Six persons died from exhaustion
after snowstorms, exposure to cold and bad
weather. Fourteen lost their lives by miss
ing their footing and falling down preci-
pices, six from pursuing dangerous paths,
and the other eight in the course of com
paratively easy climbing. One tourist fell
down glacier fissure and another was lost
while seeking edelweiss. Besides these
thirty-three cases, four deaths are unex-
planned, among them that of an English
man and his guide near Cortina, in the
Ampezzothal, Southern Tyrol. = Vienna

Peculiar Suit for Damages Brought b,

Peculiar Suit for Damages Brought by
Seaman.
A peculiar suit has been fled with the
County Clerk, and one which, if success
full, may result in pointing way in which
sailors who have been abused on board a
vessel may obtain some satisfaction from
the captain. The suit is brought by Belle
Ammin for her 19-year-old son, who
shipped on the whaler Jeanette on March
49, 1898. The defendant, E. w. Newth,
was in command, and the vessel was
bound for cruise in the Arctic seas.
Although the plaintiff had shipped as a
seaman he was compelled by the captain
to act as cabin-bOy, and upon arriving
off the Siberian coast the captain brought
a native squaw on board, and during the
months she remained with the vessel Am
min was compelled to wait upon her as a
servant and to obey her commands.
Just before the ship returned, the cap
tain, the complaint states, left one Joseph
White, seaman, upon Herschell Island,
and ordered Amminsto go with him and
care for him. Whitefwas then on the point
of death, but the captain refused to provide
supplies or material sufficient to protect
them from the cold, nor would he give
them any medicine for the sick man. As
a result he died and Ammin was COM
PEELED to bury him in the frozen ground
himself.
In consequence of these facts, which the
plaintiff claims caused him great degrade
ton, humiliation and bodily and mental
suffering, he asks for $1,000 damages.

ton at Work.

The McNab-Whelan contest resulted in
a small gain for the contestant yesterday,
but the principal feature developed was
the plan of future operations which was
adopted.
William Nelson, who represents Mr.
Whelan in the contest, gave notice that
tomorrow he would move that the clerks,
stringers and callers be disinterested par
ties appointed by the court and paid by the
McNab side should they lose the contest.
At present friends of both parties with the
officers of the court are doing the work,
but Mr.. Nelson is going to ask that other
parties be appointed in order that he shall
not have to watch the call of the votes, as
we'll as examine each ballot.
Mr.. Nutson also announced yesterday
that beginning tomorrow morning he
would ask for the Identification of every
package of ballots brought into court.
This viii necessitate the issuance of sub
penas for the election officers of each pre-
CInct and their examination in court before
each precinct Is counted.
If they want law they shall have it,
said Mr.. Nelson, in speaking OF the matter.
They have been Jumping around from
one precinct to another wherever they
thought they could find a gain for their
man, and have been hanging on to this
count, knowing well that McNab will never
be counted in. There is fraud on all sides.
We admit that as well as they; but there is
not sufficient fraud to put McNab into the
Sheriff office, and they know it. Now, if
they want to continue the count they must
dose under strict law and they must bear
the expense
1t is understood by the Whelan side that
McNab has said he never expects to get
into the Office, that the count Will not
give him enough to overcome Whelan s
lead. but that he is kept at the contest by
the Citizens Defense Association. 1t is
said he has told people that that organiza-
ton wants to have all the precincts
opened, and then they can go ahead and
1 bring the ballots into court as evidence in
election fraud cases. The law on this
point is that while the ballots may be
opened originally only in case of a con-
test and recount, after having been once
opened they may be brought into court at
any time and as evidence in any case. The
only municipal ballots which have not
been opened at all so far are those of the
Forty-tirst District.
The Whelan side is willing to submit the
districts covered in the Haley-Curry con-
test in the snap tallies taken at the time,
and it may be that this Will be done. If
so, this will give McNab, according to his
own figures, a gain of 253 votes; the
Whelan figures give him little less. The
gains as obtained are as follows:

BULAICH Is DISMISSED.
A Deadly FeHd Between Two Factions
Of SerViaRs.
Gopcheyitch Says He Will Have His
Enemy Arrested for Challenging
Him TO a Duel.

Bozo NJ. Gopchevitch, editor of Servian-
American paper, was around the Grand
Jury rooms yesterday in no pleasant frame
of mind. He wanted that body to investi-
gate a case in which he feels a personal
interest, but as the grand jurors do not
meet on Saturdays he told his sorrows to
all who would listen.
The warning of members of different
cliques of the Greco Russian Church of
this city has caused much local history in
the past few years, and Gopchevitch has
taken a leading part in many of their
quarrels. In these alterations knives,
pistols and swords were fourished in all
the mazes of metaphorical confusion. FL
nally, however, these dangerous weapons
passed out of the realm of figure, when an
encounter took place on Montgomery
street on September Is last between Cop
chevitch and Aristo Bulaich.
The statement of the bystanders was to
the effect that Bulaich assaulted Gopche-
witch with a revolver, striking him on the
head with it. Just as Gopchevitch was
staggering and was in the act of drawing a
pistol some spectators interfered and took
the weapons away.
Gopchevitch, not knowing that his adj
versary had been disarmed, pulled another
pistol and blazed away at Bulaich, the bull
let lodging in the throat. Both men were
arrested and charged with assault to MUIR
der The case of Bulaich has been contin-
ued from time TO time, and was yesterday
dismissed in Police Judge Lows court.
Gopchevitch was much chagrined on ac-
count of the dismissal, and said it was
strange that this is the second time in
which charge of assault to murder has
been dismissed in the Police courts against
Bulaich. Two months before his attack on
Gopcheyitch Bulaich shot at and tried to
kill George Kucich at Is Vallejo street.
For some unknown reason, probably
through the exertion of political influence,
the case was dismissed. Gopcheviuch said
yesterday that this second dismissal
looked strange and that he would lay all
the facts before the Grand Jury with the
intention of having Bulaich indicted.
Il have already taken steps to have
Bulaich arrested on another charge, that
of sending challenge to me-"
Here Gopchevitch showed a registered
letter which he had received from Bulaich,
in which he claims that the writer offered
to fight him duel in August last at the
Hayes-street entrance of Golden Gate Park.
Gopchevitch said he got the letter too
late to be at the appointed place.
The feud of the parties only represents
that of two different elements in the Sla-
vonian colony, and is a matter of absorbing
interest to each side. There is no recon-
Citation in sight and no termination OF
the implacable enmity.

THEIR REASONS.
Why the Patients Of Drs. Copeland
Winn and Neal
Make Public Statements of the Cure and
Benefits Received-The Treatment Is
Only So Month, Medicines
Included.

The question is freely asked "Why do so
many of the patients OF Drs. Copeland, Winn
and Neal make public statement when they
are cured?"
The answer in brief is, because the relief and
cure is so speedy and certain that in their
gratitude they are anxious to say all they can
in praise of the treatment and doctors, as is
shown in the following statements
Mr.. John s. McCrillis, one of the proprietors
OF the White Star Laundry Company, who lives
at 517 Hobart street, Oakland, says: 81 had
catarrh for at least thirty years, and of late it
had become complicated with asthma. L had
doctored for it considerably and took plenty of
patent medicines, but nothing did me any good

DE WINToN ARSON CASE.
He Surrenders Himself and Is Released
on Bonds.

William Wilkins de Winton surrendered
himself at the City Prison yesterday after
noon and presented bond for $1,000 for his
release, which had been accepted by Judge
Sanderson. The Grand Jury, as stated in
yesterdays CALL, found an indictment
against De Winton for arson in setting fire
to his house, 1141 Dolores street, on Octo-
Der IA last. The house was insured for $4,000
and the contents for $1,000.
An important point will probably be
raised in this case, viz: Can a man be
criminally prosecuted for setting fire to his
own house? The law says not, but the
dictate that the law is wrong and should be

FOR His CERTIFICATE.
k-COrOner Hughes Says That a Bride
Was Offered Him.
4 Fight to Be Made by the Insurance
Companies in the Case Of Charles
kOhler'S Death.

The death of the late Charles KohIer,
who expired on January of the present
year in the Hannah Baths on Post street,
is giving rise to a great deal of talk, in
which the gossips frequently mention the
name of DIR. Martin Regensburger.
Ex-Coroner Hughes, who was in office
when Kohler's death took place, makes a
direct accusation against DR.. Regens-
burger. According to the statement made
by DR.. Hughes DR.. Regensburger suggested
that he wished to secure the return of a
verdict of accidental death and intimated
that ''there would be $500 in it, >" which sum
Dr. Regensburger is said to have reported
would be given by the family OF the
deceased.
that he made any such offer, and says he
did not even hint at bribery to DR..
Hughes.
The case attains Importance, from the
fact that Charles Kohler is said to have
had $4,000 in insurance policies on his
life. The insurance companies are inter-
ested in having the whole matter investi-
gated, and are holding that the deceased
committed suicide. The relatives of Koh-
Ter, on the other hand, affirm strenuously
that he did not take his own life, but was
subject to insomnia and took the morphine
to put him to sleep. The question will, no
doubt be fought in the courts, as lawyers
already are engaged in seeking evidence to
be used at some future time. Several of
them were at the new City Hall yesterday
looking UP the records in the Board of
Health. On January Secretary Lawlor
made the following record in the case:
Charles Kohler-Aged So years IL months 4
days; born in San Francisco, died at 21S Post
street, January l. morphine poisoning, inquest
pending; cause (suicide?).
Secretary Lawlor said that the only
reason why he put in the word suicide is
because he saw that fact stated in the
papers. Yesterday, as result of the
verdict of the Coroner's jury, he changed
the record from suicide" to accidental
DEATH He said he had no other course
but to follow the verdict of the Coroner's
jury in making up his record.
Coroner Hawkins in speaking of the case
yesterday, said that DR.. Hughes had
warned him of the case and had told him
that some one had offered to bride him.
He believed the case ought to be investi-
gated again and new inquest held. He
stated that it would do no good to exhume
the body, as it had been embalmed, before
which no autspsy had been made. The
analysis of the morphine bottle used by the
deceased showed that it contained drachm
of morphine.
