tiansen; first mate, ). Hanson; second
mate, Ole Thornsen; cook, Peter Nelson,
and seamen Alf Peterson, Thomas Scull,
Peter Neyland, Peter Seyertsen, Edward
Larsen and Martin Peterson. From that
day to this neither vessel nor crew have
ever been heard from.
On the 9th inst. the bark Matilda arrived
at Port Townsend and the CAPTAIN reported
that the day before he had passed through
quantity of small broken lumber forty
miles west OF Cape Flattery. In describ-
ing the scene the skipper said the sea was
! covered for miles with floating timbers OF
all sizes. Evidently" added the captain,
some lumber vessel must have met with
disaster" The aupposition is that Captain
| Christensen, after clearing FIattery, ran
into heavy gale. His ship being ten
der" he was afraid to face it, and attempt
ed to put about. In doing so the Discovery
| became disabled and being structuTally
weak, soon went to pieces The crew could
do nothing with the boats, and if the
barkentine is gone all hands went with
her.
The lumber cargo of the Discovery was
owned by Pope d Talbot, and that firm is
satisfied that the wreckage passed by the
Matilda was from the barkentine.
10 make matters look even worse than
they are, said q ship captain yesterday,
tine T.. Is. Kenny made the run in little
| over week, and the Dashing Wave, which
left two days after the Dis covery, came
down in twelve or thirteen days. The
Discovery nearly always made the run
under two weeks, and now that she is out
over five weeks would not give much for
her chances"
The Discovery was built at Port Discov.
cry in 1874 and has been one of the most
successful coasters trading in and out of
San Francisco. She was always fast yes
sci, but all the ca otains who commanded
her considered her ''tendeF"-that is, a
vessel that could not be depended upoa
during severe gale. This fact is another
nail in her coffin according to shipmasters
This was to have been Captain Chris
tlansen's last voyage as a bachelor He
was engaged to be married to young lady
from Tacoma on his return to San Fran
cisco, and she is now awaiting him here
No matter what anybody else thinks she
has not given up hope, and IN every
barkentine that is reported she vainly
looks for the Discovery. Captains who
know the young lady well refuse to di.
vulge her name, saying that matters are
bad enough as they are without parading
her name and her sorrow in the papers.
| Peter Nelson, the cook, had also decided
| to leave the barkGutine when she arrived
at this port. When he was paid off last
trip he decided tos seek another vessel. but
Captain ChristiaRsen overpersuaded him
and he agreed I'd make ''just one more
voyage" The other members of the crew
were well knows. in San Francisco and
several of them were members of the
Sailors Union.

NOT FOND OF DOCKERY,
Marin Dairymen File Complaints

Question Postponed.

The dairymen OF Marin County whose
milk was recently dumped into the bay by
Milk Inspector Dockery are very much in
censed against the inspector and have ad-
dressed communications to the Board of
Health, supported by atfidavits, charging
him with having violated the ordinance
under which he is given authority to in
spect and seize milk and with discrimina-
ton toward certain milkmen.
The complaint of w. D. Stephens, pro-
prietor of the Ross Valley Dairy, relates to
section 13 OF the ordinance, which reads as
follows:
Section 13. The Board of Health and all its
officers, agents and employees shall have the

Captain and Crew Are Supposed
to Have Gone Down
With Her.
LITTLE HOPE ENTERTAINED
The Master Was to Have Been
Welded When the Barkentine
Reached Port.

The barkentine Discovery has at last
been given up for lost. On several occa-
sions items referring to her long passage
and general unseaworthiness have ap-
peared in the papers, but there was always
hope held out that she might turn up.
The vessel is now out thirty-seven days
from Port Gamble, and in view of the fact
that half dozen storms have ragged along
the coast during that period the chances
are that she has gone to the bottom with
all hands. 1--WE have not given UP all
hope even yet, said J. Kentfeld. the man
aging owner of the Discovery, '.but must
admit the chances are against the vessel
ever showing up. She was very fast
sailer and thirtysix days is an unusually
long trip even for slow vessel.'
The barkentine Discovery sailed from
Port Gamble on January 20 last with the

San Francisco to break fractious horse,
which would soon be needed in the busi-
ness, which, he said, was building up
rapidly in the main Office at Lombard and
Cough streets.
Rochel was away two weeks in his horse
backbone and limb or two. In the mean
time NJ. Veit, a young German, was AL
brecht's victim.
The inducements offered him were
identical with those offered Rochel, but
Veit was OF more inquiring frame of
mind. He was left alone in the Mission
street shop, and he had nothing to do
better than looking into the bundles
packed up on the shelves. Instead of
clot les, he found they were packed with
ed papers and rubbish.
Rochel ventured in town from his horse
breaking expedition, and he and Veit
compared notes, which resulted in the two
calling on Albrecht and demanding back
their money. Instead of coin Albrecht
gave them some sound advice to never go
into any business with which they were
not fam liar.
He laughed at their discontinue and
told them to t'never mind a little thing
like that. There will be more suckers
along very soon" he said, 'and we'll
make IL all right"
Rochel placed the matter before Attor-
dicted by the Grand Jury.
But prior to the Rochel and Veit cases
it appears Albrecht ran foul of victim
who proved somewhat of Tartar. 1t was
Isaac Jessup, a man of some means, who
desired to purchase an interest in some
business for his younger son. Mr.. Jessup
paid Albrecht $500. purchased some ma
chimes for the purpose of conducting a
laundry, and installed his son in the Mis-
sion-street branch.
The lad soon realized that his father had
been swindled and told him SC. The old
gentleman Jumped" Albrecht who, find
ing himself hard pressed, promised TO give
back the money he had received. But he
was short of cash just then, and the best
he could do was to give his personal note
for $3.50 and chattel mortgage on all the
German-American Laundry Association S
property.
While Mr.. Jessup was thus the sole pro-
prietor, Albrecht kept on selling stock in
the corporation on the good front made by
the rows of dummy clothes bundles on
the shelves of the Mission street branch
The other victims of Albrecht and his
oDe-man corporation will be heard to-day
in Judge Bahrs' court.

THE MEN WHO BUILD.

Interesting Matters Before the Carpen-
ters' and Joiners' District Council.
Several matters of interest to the mem
bers of the local building trades unions
came up last evening at the meeting of
the District Council of Carpenters and
Jolners. The resignation of e. r. John
son as business agent for the carpenters
was formally announced. Johnson will
leave for Alaska on Saturday. c. f.
Schadt. formerly president OF the Dittrict
Council, was appointed temporarily to fill
the vacancy. III few weeks the four car
penters' unions will hold an election.
There are already several candidates for
the position in the field. and hot con-
test Is expected.
a communication was read from Car.
penters' Union No. %, of Berkeley, an
that union will demand So day as the
lowest rate of wages. The bosses have
been notified of this demand so that thew
may make future contracts accordingly.
District Organizer Malsbary has recently
returned from Sacramento, where he has
been doing missionary work" among the
carpenters of that city. There are no car
penters' unions in Sacramento, but the
journeymen received him with open arms.
g.
and there is movement on foot toward
the formation of carpenters union.
On March the carpenters and joiners
of that city will hold a mass-meeting for
the purpose of organization. Mr.. Malsbary
stated that the Federated Trades of Sacra.
mento indorsed his work and will give
great assistance in the movement. AS
soon as the carpenters are organized the
working-card system, the eight-hour a
day and the SO minimum of wages will be
demanded.
The district council is making great
preparations for a grand social reunion
and smoker" in the temple on the even
ing of March 7. Able speakers will ad-
music and free cigars will be among the
other attractions. Non-union men will be
received as cordially as union men.

Mr. Stephens driver, Philip Shine.
makes affidavit that Inspector Dockery
took the samples and carried them into a
building out of his sight, afterward de-
Hvering to him bottle containing some
milk, which the affiant was informed was
taken from his wagon.
The driver declares that he could not
tell whether the milk delivered to him was
taken from his wagon or not, as the
alleged division was made out OF his sight
and while no other wagons were being de-
tanned and examined by the Inspector.
The Inspector then ordered the milk
dumped into the bay, stating that it con-
tanned preserving preparation that rem
dered it unfit for human use.
The complaint is also supported by an
affidavit from Manuel Silvera, who shipped
the milk, stating that be placed the milk
on board the cars at Ignacio station,
Marin County, and that the milk was
absolutely pure and contained no adulter-
ants or foreign matter whatever.
The California Milk Producers Associa-
tion also sent in complaint obiecting to

forms his duties. The association com.

explained that it differed from the other
swlndles only that it was "clean cut,

tins of the defendant being done up in
the most approved style"
From the testimony given at the trial

testimony and who will only be put on

peculiar one.

he is backed by NJ. Veit, ?. II. Peterson,
John Peltier, r. Schmitt Isaac Jessup
and Ellis Jones, men who are virtually
unknown to each other, but who with
| few minor details claim to have the same
grievances under which Rochel is fretting.
Without entering into the merits of the
| case there are some features which came to
| light IN the testimony and otherwise, yes
terday, which were amusing to the jury
ana to the hangers-on about the court.
1he main proposition is that Albrecht
| caused Rochel to give him $500 for 20O
| shares OF the German-Amercan Laundry
Association, incorporated. 1t was repre-
| sented that the Institution was a tremen-
dous affair with main office at LON bard
ana Cough streets, and branch offices all
| over the City.
Rochel, it appears from his testimony
was first offered 100 shares of the 10 O0G
capital stock for 500, and when he opened
his purse his alleged swindler saw there
was another 500 there. He therefore
promptly offered his proposed victim addi-
tional inducements in order to obtain the
| com. RocheI was offered the superlnten-
dency OF the Mission-street branch at a
| salary of S12 per week. Rochel inmedi-
| ately parted with his entire $500.
He went to work the next day at III
Mission street and for two consecutive
days he stood behind the counter waiting
| for customers to come in and call for the
| bundles OF linen piled eight rows high in
the back. He waited in vain and was be-
ginning to despair when Albrecht came to
him with instructions to go off to South
