The San Francisco call., 1896-04-19

died the next day. After landing her
cargo into lighters the steamer proceeded
on her way, and probably reached Homo
lulu about the 10th inst. As she would
rot have clean bill of health, the Ha-
walian authorities would undoubtedly
place her in quarantine. In that event,
she may be delayed for the full term, and
will then be given clean bill of health,
and on arriving at San Francisco will be
allowed to dock without any trouble.
AS matters stand at present, however,
DR.. Blue of the United States Marine Hos
pital service and DR.. Chalmers, the State
quarantine officer, are watching night and
day for the arrival OF the Gaelic.
The San francisco and North Pacific
Railroad Company has grievance against
the Harbor Commissioners The latter
have been cleaning out the manhoIes
along the front, and the refuse taken from
some OF them has most disgusting and
powerful odor. The filth was taken to the
ferry depot and the planks under the win-
dows of the railroad were torn up.
and there in front of the waiting pas
sengers the stuff was dumped. This pro-
cess continued all the afternoon, and
while the latter loads were mostly sand
and brick still il did not detract from the
fact that hundreds of passengers had to
stand the stencil during the time they
were awaiting the different trips of the
steamer Tiburon. Had President Colnon
been around at the time and seen the filth
being dumped right under the waiting
room windows he would have instantly
stopped the work and ordered the men to
seek another dumping ground.
The American ship st. John arrived
from Nanaimo, B. c., yesterday, with a
decided list to port. She was caught in
the Southwestern that sank the Blairmore,
and had rough time of it. The cargo
shifted, but as it did not appear danger
GUS the captain ran for port. The ship is
not making water and is not strained.
The water front had sensation last Fri
day night Mattio Drobas, who for over
thirty-fve years has kept the saloon at the
corner Of Clay and East streets, got mar
ried and his friends rallied to the cele bra
ton. The groom is over 6S years old and
for twenty-seven years has been widower.
The bride was handsome young widow,
and the couple started yesterday for Byron
Springs. Mr.. Drobas is well-to-do, and is
the father-in-law of P. McGlade, the we'll
known Deputy Registrar.
Marriages on the front seem to be popu-
lar, as G. Eric Koch, the well-known and
well-liked steward of the steamer Alcazar,
is going to take unto himself wife at Z
o'clock tonight. The bride will be Miss
Augusta Hansen, and friends of Eric
spent yesterday in wishing him long life
and happiness. Steward Koch has been
on the coasting steamers for years and
some time ago was on the Vallejo route.
He has been popular wherever he went,
and his friends intend making his mar
Iiage merry one.
The leak on the schooner Bonanza has
increased, and now the work of discharg-
ing the vessel has begun. She is leaking
at the rate of ten inches an hour, and a
considerable portion of her perishable
cargo has been damaged. The general
impression is that the leak is caused by
cheap work put in by the agent. The
Bonanza was to start on trading cruise
to the Arctic last Thursday. but as she
will now have to be docked for recalking
it may be weeks before she will get away
The Seventh Day Adventist schooner

memorial service will be held and the mis-
sionaries will then be picked out.
