they left the vessel was pounding and

captain Clark was evidently making
time, as the Colombia must have been
going about thirteen or fourteen knots an

has been ripped away, and I'll guarantee
there is hole in her bow into which l
could put the Reliance, smokestack and
all. Apart from this she is strained ali
over, and the water is rising two or three
inches an hour in every compartment.
When she falls with the tide and strikes
the rocks the hull quivers from stem to
stern, and the crew lives in hourly ex-
pectation of the steamer going to pieces.

steamer will be dismantied and an attem pt

FRESNO, CAL, July 15.-Work on an
extensive raisin- seeding plant is to be COM
menced in this city in a few days, and it
promises to be an important factor for the
welfare OF the industry. Colonel William
Forsyth, q prominent raisin-grower and
packer, will supply capital amounting to
$4,000 for half interest, and the inventor
of a seeding machine, George Petit Jr of
New York, will own the other half interest.
The plant will be located on the railroad
reservation, and will be three-story frame
structure. 1t will have a seeding capacity
of two carloads a day. Petit has been
operating a seeding factory in New York
with success. He claims to possess the
only practical invention. The seeding of
raisins at nominal cost will undoubtedly
increase the popularity of the product and
increase the consumption.

FRESNO, CAL, July 15.-The electric
company which recently brought electric
power and light TO this city from the

point thirty-five miles east of here, will
probably have to fight in the courts for

Superintendent Decker of the gas COM

men to dig ditch to divert the water on
the company's claim. Superintendent
Seymour of the electric company left at

the water claim. Should it divert the
water the wheels of the new company's
plant would be idle.

NteQner Colombia.

Stedsner Colombia.
At 2 O'Clock this morning the tug Vigil
ant returned from the wrecked steamer and
the captain reported that to all appear
ances the vessel is doomed, slowly rocking
to pieces in the ground swell
The diver went on board the Colombia
and made an external examination OF the
vessel, but no attempt was made to go
below the surface of the water.
He expressed no opinion upon the feas-
ability OF attempting to get the steamer off
the rocks.
That there is but little hope OF saving
the big vessel is apparent by the return OF
the Vigilant.
When the tug left the wreck the crew
was still on board.

A TRAGEDY At SPOKANE,
Grace Wilton, a Variety Actress,
Ends Her Life With
Poison.
Known to the San Francisco Talent
as a Living-Picture
Model.

SPOKANE, WASH, July 15.-Grace Will
ton. variety actress at the Comique, COM
mitted suicide this morning by taking
carbolic acid. She was found by porter
of Hotel Pedicord, where she was stop
ping. She had been in this city but
couple of weeks, coming here from San
Francisco with several Others to open the
Comique.
I'll her room letter was found, which
shows that a sister wrote for money for
the support of her two little girls, and it
was evident she could not send the money.
While she took the name of Grace Wilton
here, it is learned her father is Maurice
Bernstein, a furni ture dealer of San Fran
cisco. The woman's two little girls are
stopping at the Brunswick Hotel in San
Francisco.
Grace Wilton was well known in
theatrical circles in San Francisco,
although she played only unimportant
parts at the theaters. and was never en-
pioyed at the tirst-cIass houses except as
an extra girl. She had a beautiful form,
and this fact made her in great demand
during the living picture craze. She had
since taken part in such performances in
low-class houses. During the last year
she posed as a model for local photog-
rapherS.
She was married to Jack Rivers, at
one time deputy at the City Hall. Her
father, Maurice Bernstein, resides at the
Hotel Brunswick. Mrs. Rivers two chill
dren, aged about 10 and 6, are with him.
Bernstein was at one time proprietor of
the furniture store in the basement next to
the old st. Ignatius Church. He failed,
and has not been prominently known as
merchant since that time. The woman,
who was about 81 years old, has been
known in theatrical circles for many years,
but she was always considered weak
minded.
