The Tug Was Only Half an Hour
at Sea When Relatives
Arrived.
WHERE IS THE THEOBALD 2
She Is Now IS Days Out From Cooks
Inlet and Fears for Her Safety
Are Entertained.

Another runaway couple was welded or
| the high seas yesterday. Both of them
were very, very sick and the bride had tt
| be held on her feet while the ceremony
| was being performed.
| The groom's name is Oscar Waugh and
that of the bride was Edna A. Minton. They
came from Willows, Glenn County, and
were only half an hour away from the whari
when relatives of the young lady drove up
in hot haste, eager to stop the ceremony.
They were too late, and at 4 P. NJ. by the
| clock Mr.. Waugh and Miss Minton were
man and wife.
Early in the morning a stranger ap-
preached Captain W. E. Gage of the gaso-
line schooner Hettie B. and asked him
whether he would marry couple at sea.
A graphic description of two lovers in dis
tress was drawn and when proof was
brought that everything was fair and
above board and that only obdurate par
ents stood in the way Gage gave in. When
the young couple appeared they were ac-
companied by John Rattigau and Mrs. L.
Rattigan, these two being the witnesses to
the ceremony. Beside these Captain Gage
insisted upon having two witnesses of his
own, so there can be no doubt the couple
have been securely bound.
Once beyond the heads the Hettie B
plunged into stiff head sea. Every body
got sick, but Captain Gage held on his way
until the three-league limit was passed.
Then he called all hands into the cabin
aud the ceremony was performed. Mr..
and Mrs. Waugh are now debating In
their own minds about returning home.
Waugh is not at all certain as to what kind
of reception he will receive, while his
wife is only too anxious to face the in
evitable and have 1t all over. The chances
are that the couple will start for Willows
tomorrow.
What has become of the bark Theo-
bald?" is the question that everybody is
asking on the water front. She is now out
thirty-tive days from Cooks Inlet, and the
general impression is that she should have
got in long ago. Captain Swan is an ex-
perienced master, and on him many
people rely to bring the vessel into port.
On the run from San Francisco to Alaska
with party of miners the Theobald had a
very rough time and came near being
wrecked. Her sails were blown from the
bolt-ropes and considerable portion of
her bulwarks was washed away.
The schooner Carrier Dove came off the
ways yesterday ana is again in commits
sion. Captain KIusmann, son of the old
time skipper. says he has now one of the
smartest vessels on the bay, and that he
is ready to give any craft in her class q
race.
Commodore r. J. R. Alden of the Piper,
Alden, Goodall Company's fleet, Mayor of
Adenvill and a well-known ship-owner
and merchant of Vallejo, was ON the front
yesterday. Mayor Alden is firm believer

THE FAIR ESTATE.
Big Fees Allowed the Executors and
the Attorneys Who Are EN-
pIoyed by Them.

big feeS Allowed the ExecuGOrS anu
the Attorneys who Are EN-
ployed by Them.
The third account of the Fair estate has
been filed by the executors. 1t covers the
period from January l to June 30 1896, in
elusive. the total receipts during that
time were $269, $40 26. The disbursements,
including $50, ,526 85. The surrender value
of Monongahela River Railroad Com
pany's bonds and scrip, amounted to 1914,
004 53, leaving balance in the hands OF
the executors of S3S2, ,2SS 43. This money
is deposited in bank, principally in the
Nevada Bank and the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company of New York.
An interesting feature of the report filed
is the monthly profit received from the
Lick House. This hostelry paid to the
estate a dividend varying from $62 80 to
$1,000 during the past six months.
Judge Slack yesterday signed an order
directing the special administrators of the
estate to pay $4,000 to Pierson & Mitchell
and $2500 to Garret: McEnerney for SER
vices rendered as attorneys in the case.
The surviving special administrators were
also allowed $4,000 each on account of SER
vices. Warren & Malley, contractors,
were allowed $4,000 due them on account
of the North Beach contracts.
Up to date the special administrators
have receip ed $50 900 each. as have Plerson
e. Mitchell. Garret McEnerney has re-
ceived $40, 600 and L. G. Bresse, the admin
istrator who died recently, received
$4,000.

yesterday morning for an injunction restrain
ing the Omaha Carpet company and the other
mortgages of the McTague hotel from using
his name in connection with the business
they are conducting at McTagues Old stard
and also from operating under his liquor IL
cense The case was argued at length, the
plaintiff alleging that he had acquired a
good reputation in this locality for ability
as manager of the enterprise which has
borne his name and that the defendants were
attempting to use his reputation In drawing
patronage. He also alleged that he had a
license for selling liquors at the place in
question and had not given any one per-
mission to use his name or his license
The defendants alleged that the name of
McTague had been obliteratd by painting it
off signs and by the use of rubber stamp on
the stationery. They discaimed any intent
OF trading upon McTague's reputation.
