Respect the Names of Loyal Men
of Early Wars

Next Saturday evening California Com
mandery, Military Order Foreign Wars,

add another remarkable feature to Cali

OF the usual way.
Tue Military Order Foreign Wars was
Instituted in New York City Decent Der 81,
1894, for the purpose of honoring and per-
petuat ng the names of brave and loyal
men who were engaged in establishing
and maintaining against foreign foes the

War With Tripoli," 1.-The War of 1872"

SHIPS COLLIDE
OFF NORTH BEACH
Oracle S Drags the Revenue
Cutter Rush Over
a Mile.
While Atoul the Tide Carried
Both Swi tly Toward
Destruction.
The Hartley and a Redstack Tug TO
the Rescue-Damages to Either
Very Slight.

About 10:30 o'clock Saturday night the
trim pilot-boat Oracle s heaved her
anchor out of the mud off North Beach,
intending to put out through the gates 10
see If she could not spy the red and green
lights OF job coming over the dark line
of the nights horizon. The tide was at
full ebb and running swiftly. 1t carried
the Oracle S broadside on down against
the revenue cutter Rush, which lay within
hailing distance down the stream. The
skipper of the Oracle S saw that collision
was ahead ana did what he could to avoid
it. But the tide and the Oracle swept
swiftly on until the little pilot schooner
crashed into the stem of the revenue cut
ter, hroadside on. The foul was a badly
mixed one. The iibboom of the Rush
hung over the pilot boat amidships be-
tween her two masts, and the booms of
the Oracle SIS masts ran far back over the
deck of Uncle Sans white, spick and span
cutter.
The little revenue steamer Hartley,
used by the revenue officers In boarding
ships as they enter port, steamed out and
attem pied to haul off the Oracle s. In the
meanume the latter, with her broadside
to the tide, caught its full force and car
Iieu tue huSE Win ner QOWn the stream,
anchor and all. Both craft were beyond
control, and there was imminent danger
of more collisions with vessels, or of
bringing up somewhere ashore.
The little Hartley was not heavy
enough to pull the Oracle off, and
she put about and ran fer the Red
Stack tug Office. The tug Joseph h.
Redmonc, Captain Shaw went to the res
cue. When off Back Point, after the
fouled vessels had drifted about a mile
and half, he towed the vessels clear of
each other without carrying anything
away, feat which is considered good
work along the water front.
The remarkable thing about the fouling
of the vessels is that the injury to either
is scarcely mentionable. The headstays
of the Rush were slackened up and chaied
a little, and she is minus some of the beau
tiful white complexion ON her stem. The
Oracle 5 was slightly scratched, and after
the accident went out on her cruise. The
Rush steamed back to her anchorage.
The French bark Pierre CorneilIe, which
colllded with the British ship Larnaca in
the stream few days ago. tied up at the
foot OF Folsom street yesterday.
Percy Whitehall, an English sailor 26
years of age, landed here TO get into trou-
bic. He was arrested at the Chicago
House yesterday morning for burglary by
Officers Ellis and Hall, and is now locked
up at the Central police station. A hat
and razor in his possession were identified
by the hotel people.

RAN DOWN A BUGGY,
A Mission Street Electric Car Rushes
Across Tenth Street With Serious
Results


He said that the bell did not ring on the
electric car and this little oversig ht caused
all The trouble last night at Mission and
Tenth streets. There was collision, q
sharp shock, that threw people in the car
off their seats. and then in a second the
air was full of flying splinters, bits OF har-
ness and two young men. There is one
young fellow so sore after the incident
shocked that his nerves are utterly de-
moraliZed.
Edward Elmon. who lives on Dore street,
near Bryant and Tenth streets, was driving
along Tenth from Market street last night
in a buggy with a friend. Just as they
were crossing Mission street something
struck the buggy with tremendous force.
The blow was sudden and wholly unlocked
for.
Elmon and his companion had no time
TO think. To them the collision was like
an explosion. Tney were hurled into the
atmosphere amid crashing and grinding
and general debris. When they came
back to firm earth Elmon was uncon-
scions, but his companion then saw they
had run foul OF an electric car.
Elmon was taken to the City and County
Hospital where DR.. Gum examined and
treated him for bruises of the head. chest
and body, all OF which were exceedingly
painful, although not OF dangerous ma
ture. II said he did not hear the carbell
and, in fact, did not see the electric car
until it rushed upon them.

The story current in the City of to-
