day, and 1t will appoint new clerk to the
Street Department in the place OF young
Bretz. The place is worth $125 month,
and there is small army OF applicants Tor
the office.
Mr.. Bretz. the father of the missing boy,
says he does not think young Bretz has
any desire to return to his position.
81 think Clifford has gone for good" )"
said his father tonight. 'The affair is
more mysterious than ever, and l am at
total loss to account for it. 1t is so unlike
him that do not think he has any idea OF
returning. He was always steady and at
tentive to his work, and he has been upset
and after doing foolish act he has re-,
pented and gone away.
.'Hls quarrel with the young lady to
whom he was engaged evidently made
him desperate, and probably he did not
realize what he was doing until after he
had married Miss Itsell. Then he cleared
out, and is probably out of the country.
l cannot think he is anywhere near here,
or some of US would have heard from him.
He evidently does not care anything about
his Job, or he would have written to
Superintendent Miller"
Meanwhile work in the Street Depart
ment is piled UP several feet high, and Mr..
Miller has notified the Board of Works
that he must have some immediate help.

Marcos island last Thursday after an un-
usually long passage of thirty-seyen days.
ne provisions for the round trip were
taken aboard there, and as Captain Thomas
dld not anticipate long wait nor pro-
tracted gales the provisions gave out before
the Golden Gate was sighted. When off
the Farallones all that was left on board
was couple of sacks of -four and few
gaiIons OF brackish water that had been
taken aboard at San Marcos Island.
When the pilot-boat America sighted the
John N. ingalls, it was almost calm:
captain OFT wanted to get ashore, however,
SO Captain Frank Murphy. who was in
command, agreed to put him aboard. A
boat was lowered and the anxious master
was put aboard the schooner.
NOW, II there is a pilot on the bay of San
FRANCISCO that knows the winds and cur
rents better than "Pete" OFT he had better
get up and declare himself. 1t was this
knowledge that served the pilot in good
stead. AS soon as he learned that there
We're only flour and water aboard he began
ngurlng on the nearest way home. He
worked with that schooner as he never
worked when he was fourth mate on a
emma clipper, and he finally caught
streak OF wind that carried the schooner
through the Golden Gate. 1t was splen-

of days ago that they do not want to re-
peat. With Captain Wilson it was ques-
tion of days, but with the pilot it was only
a question of hours. Still the latter did
not enjoy the experiment. The schooner
was out of provisions, and all that was left
aboard was some flour and brackish water.
Flapjacks fried in a pan without grease
was the staple food. and when Captain OFT
was informed of the existing state of af-
fairs, he made vain attempt to recall the
boat that put him aboard.
For thirty-six hours Captain OFT, the
pilot and Captain Thomas, master of the
schooner, lived on flapjacks cooked without
the assistance of lard, and when the vessel
finally reached an anchorage and pete"
was safely ashore, he swore by all the
saints in the calendar that he would never
board another Mexican schooner as long as
he remained a pilot.

The Benedict Returns From His
Lonely Wedding Trip to
Stockton.
A RECONCILIATION EFFECTED
Father.in.Law Itsel1 Will Give Them
His Blessing and Install Them
in His Home.

The mild sensation which followed the
hasty double wedding of the Itsell sisters
and the subsequent trip to Stockton and
vicinity of Bridegroom BretZ is subsidIpg.
YESTERDAY morning Mr.. Bretz returned to
this City to meet his fearful bride and her
'irate papa. A reconciliation was effected,
and the young couple will hereafter live
together under the roof of the bride s pa
rents. ...-.
Mr. Bretz during yesterday kept him
self in strict seclusion, so far. as the press
was concerned, but during the afternoon
council of the young people was. held TO
which a CALL reporter was admitted.
Bridegroom Peterson and his bride, Mrs.
Bretz and a lady friend constituted the
council, which, far from being..''as merry
as a marriage bell, threatened at times to
become as solemn as a funeral.
Il cannot see why the public takes such
an interest in my marriage" remarked
Mrs Bretz with some petulance. Other
people marry and are happy and grow fat,

was all the time and knew beforehand that
he was going. In fact, we all expected to
keep the marriage secret for some time

But it all his fault that it got ont. It's
pretty set of men we have now on the
bench in San Francisco"
Mrs. Bretz did appear trifie weary,
though still very substantial shadow"
and her features bore testimony that this
time the course of true love has not run
smooth.
Other members OF the council explained
that Mr.. Itsell's displeasure at the mar
riage of his younger daughter was based
upon his conviction that she was still too
young to wed, and did not include any
personal objection to young Bretz. Since
the wedding, however, he had become

meath his roof.
Mr.. Peterson stated that he had seen
Mr.. Bretz yesterday morning, and that he
was still in this City, but that he would
not submit to be interviewed.

Youthful Criminals

The question of where certain youthful
criminals shall be confined has caused the
various county Judges considerable trou-
Bile at various times, because all are of the
opinion thatthe ineorrigible variety should
be kept apart from those who might be re-
formed. The question is at last settled.
The Attorney General has given an opin-
ion to the superintendent of the Preston
School of Industry that only 'iuvenile
offenders" can be received at that institu-
tion. "Incorrigible juveniles. he says,
must be sent to Whittier only at which
place juvenile offenders may also be re-
ceived.o -

Some Extraordinary Attractions to Be
Provided at the Popular Haight-
Street Resort

IT the wind does not blow at too great a
rate this afternoon, the most novel and
thrilling balloon ascension ever given in
this City will be made at the chutes.
Essie Viola, the daring young Australian
aeronaut, and Emil Marke berg will both
go up, suspended to the same balloon by
two parachutes, one above the other. and
when at an altitude of about 1000 feet the
man will cut loose, allowing the girl to
reach great altitude by herself. A new
balloon, the largest yet used at the chutes.
has been secured for the occasion, and it
will be necessary to pack it with not air in
order to carry the combined weight, 25O
pounds.

crowds it is found necessary to open at 10

Clifford Bretz, the head clerk of the

Claus Home1son, Ship Carpenter,
Meets With a Fatal Accident.
Claus Homelson. ship carpenter, 81
years of age, was drowned in Mission Bay
yesterday afternoon at o'clock. The
body was rescued by Robert Gibson, a

the remains were taken to the Morgue.
Homelson and a young boy, whose name
cannot be ascertained, were taking trip
around the bay in a sailboat. When off

The Cotton Market Nervous and the
Price Irregular, Closing From
Point Higher to 7 Points
Lower.

New York, March 21.-The cotton
market after opening barely steady for
near months and 103 points higher on
late months, made a sharp turn and
declined COLO points on active posi-
tions, with May showing the largest
loss. For time shorts were nervous
on the appearance of outside buying
orders, but later it was alleged that
the clique interest was unloading and
selling became active all round.
Throughout the session the market
was nervous. The news from Liverpool
was not satisfactory, the small sales
of spot cotton in that market in par
ticular being a discouraging feature
and not supporting the claims of the
bulls that English spinneTs could be
relied upon. The market closed easy
with prices from / point higher to z
points lower.
