DIAMOND PALACE GOING,
Time Drawing Near for the Clos
ing of This Beautiful
Store.
Colonel A. Andrews to Spend a Year
or Two Abroad for His
Health.

Gradually the stock of the Diamond
Palace on Montgomery street, opposite the
Mills building, is fading through the daily
auctions, and the time is drawing near
when this place of interest will be closed.
The daily attendance at these sales shows
how well and favorably the place is known
to the public, and many are the express
sions OF regret that may be heard from the
patrons of the daily sales because the
beautiful store is soon to vanish.
The Diamond Palace was opened in 1872
by Colonel A. Andrews on so much grander
scale than any other iewelry establish
ment on the coast that it Immediately
took rank as one of the principal attrac-
tions OF the City. Every one heard of the
| place and every one went to visit it.
| Diamonds and precious stones are not
alone in the cases, but the walls are in
crusted in them. The design is oriental.
All representations of precious stones in
| the beautiful oil paintings on the ceiling
are actually supplied with real gems The
| effect is dazzling and the large and costly
| selection OF precious stones still remaining
| is something really wonderful. Mirrors
on every hand reflect the brilliancy of the
| esta Adjustment, and some choice and rare
works of art are appropriately mounted
! One can scarcely believe that a place rep
resenting so much wealth and beauty would
be actually closed out by an auction sale,
because the sacrifice on the goods must be
| something fearful. The timo is so mop
perfume, just after the holidays, for the
sale of jewels and precious stones. But
when the Colonel had once determined
on taking much-needed and long-deferred
rest d few hours were sufficient to arrange
the auction sale. Seldom if ever were such
crowds witnessed at any sale in this City,
and certainly never such a turnout OF
swelldom.
After closing up his business affairs it is
the intention of Colonel Andrews to spend
year or two abroad, but he wishes it is
tinctly understood that he expects to re,
turn to San Francisco to make it his per-
manent home.

Death OF Captain mclaughlin Formerly
Master of the Grsyfeather.
Captain d. Mclaughlin, the well-known
shipping master and rancher, died at
Grand Manan. N. B., yesterday. He left
his farm in Fresno County some months
ago to visit his relatives, but was never
able to get back home. His health gave
way, and the end came rapidly. Captain
mclaughlin was well known here as the
master of the Glory OF the Seas, Herald
of the Morning, Western Empire, Swallow
and the well-known clipper Aetos.
When he came here in 81 on the Grew
feather the first person he saw on the
wharf was his old schoolmate, c. L. Tay-
lor, now Supervisor from the Eighth
Ward. AS soon as the vessel touched the
wharf he jumped ashore, and the two

they missed their footing and fell over

COMMAND TWO OF THE FASTEST
Captain Philip of the Strathdon Is a
Young Man and He Has
Young Officers.

The British bark Strathdon, now in
port, is remarkable in one respect. She is
differed by the youngest men that have
ever come to San Francisco in command of
ship. The officers are: Captain William
Philip Jr., Chief officer Thomson, Second
Officer Taylor, Third Officer Sangster and
Fourth Officer Platter. Every one of them
has been brought up in the service of the
Aberdeen clipper line, to which the Strath-
don belongs, and every one of them is a
thorough seaman.
Captain Philip is on his first visit to San
Francisco, but his father, who is now mas
ter of the Pericles, is one OF the best known
shippers shat come to this port. Captain
Philip Sr. is 63 years of age, and during
fifty years he has been a sailor. HIS years
weigh very lightly on him, and old-timers
assert that the son will make as good a
navigator as his father.
Captain Philip Jr. is progressive. Every
thing new that is known to navigators can
be found aboard the StrathdoE, and all the

MORE DAMAGED SHIPPING
A Schooner in Distress Sighted,
but No Assistance Could
Be Given.
The Steamer Scotia Had to Burn Up
Her Deckload in Order to
Reach Port.

Every coastwise vessel that reaches port
these days has some tale of disaster to tell.
All were caught in the recent storms and
some suffered more than others. After a
long passage of seven and half days from
Coos Bay Captain Walvig finally got the
steam schooner Sunol into port yesterday.
He reports as follows:
''On Sunday, the Goth inst, at 8 80 P. NJ,
when thirty miles southwest of Mendo-
cino. l saw one-topmast schooner, lumber
laden, with flag set for assistance of some
kind. She had double reef in her fore
sail and all the rest of the sails were clewed
up. We could not go to her on account of
the storm. There were strong southeast
squalls coming every few minutes and
heavy seas, and we had to consider our
own safety"
Captain Walvig certainly had to con-
slider the safety of his own vessel. Owing
to the length of the voyage from Coos Bay
the supply of coal bad run out and the
boilers were being fed from the deckload
of lumber. Over 10000 feet of good pine
timber went in this way, and had it not
been aboard the chances are the Sunol
would have been among the missing. The
steamers decks were swept again and
again by the waves and she was carried
miles out to sea. Everything was securely
dashed, however, and outside of the DELAY
and the lumber burned up under the boil
ers no loss was sustained. The timbers on
the Sunol are for the Valley road
The identity OF the schooner in distress
spoken by the SUnol is n matter of con-
lecture. Shipmasters are of the opinion,
however, that being lumber-laden she will
turn up all right in few days.
The steam schooner South Coast from
Eureka also had hard time of it in Sun
days gale and did not get in until late
yesterday. She was swept from stem to
stern and considerable damage was done.
but she will nevertheless be able to get
away to-day on her return trip to Portland
and way ports.
The British ship Red Rock, which got
in from Swansea after an unusually long
pa ssage of 100 days, was also in the storm
Captain Williams was caught about thirty
miles off the Farallones, and he saws the
thunder and lightning and the fury of the
storm reminded him of pampero off the
River Platte. The vessel was hove to for
thirty-six hours, and the men had a
hard time of it in keeping the vessel under
control.

PERJURY rs CHARGED.
Frank Stocking Arrested for Swearing
Falsely That He Owned Property
Described in IA Bond.

Frank Stocking was arrested yesterday
morning on the charge of perjury. the
complaining witness being Police Judge
Conlan. Stocking is not unknown to the
police, having served term for burglary.
Some months ago he gained considerable
notoriety by selling to Chinese merchants
in Chinatown for $4,000 a mixture of mo-
lasses and brown sugar, which he repre-.
sented as opium.
The cause OF his present trouble arises
from his desire to befriend q woman
named Lille Watson, who was arrested on
December % for alleged grand larceny.
The woman's bonds were fixed at $1,000 and
Stocking, accompanied by ex-Assemblv-
man w. P. Boothby of 200 Stockton street
went to Judge Conian's residence and thew
jointly became her bondsmen. Stocking
represented that he was the owner of q
house and lot on Octavia street. near
Broadway, valued at $4,000, and the Jud ge
unhesitatingly accepted the bond, and the
woman was released from custody.
A few days ago Clerk Watson on looking
over some papers came upon the bond OF

masters spare moments are spent in study
ing them. His great fad Is steering by the
stars, and he has set of movable charts
which show all the prominent stars and
consultations on any given date in the
year. During clear weather the Strathdon
is always navigated by the stars, and when
an observation is taken by the sun the
course is always found to be the true one.
By knowing the stars so well, Captain
Philip says he can always find his way
from one end of the earth to the other
without the use of compass or sextant.
Captain Phillip Sr. ran away from home
when he was Il years old and went to sea.
His son followed his example, but made
an earlier beginning. He was only years
old when he applied for position on the
Aberdeen line of clippers and secured it.
From that time he has stuck to his profess
sion and worked his way up. He was
master of the famous old clipper Saamis
nine years ago, and in the races among
the wool-ships from Australia and New
Zealand he always managed to land his
ship winner. Last voyage, after a par
ticularly exciting race, he was informed
that he had to go out TO Sydney, n. S. W.,
to take command of the Strathdon. Cap
tain Custard, who was to have taken the
vessel, was killed on the steamer before
she sailed from Southampton and some
one had to go out in his place. After fin
ishing a three months voyage Captain
Philip felt little sore at being ordered
away at once, but he accepted the newt
able and took command of the Strathdon
month later.
"The races from Australia to England
are like the old days when the tea clippers
carried every stitch of canvas to make a
good voyage from China to London" said
Captain Philip yesterday. Just about
this time the wool is all packed, and
every body is in hurry to get his crop TO
the English market. Fast ships are in
demand, and the old Salamis, sister to the
weIl-known San Francisco trader Their
mopyle, was alwaysi the first to be char
tered. About two years ago thirteen OF US
all sailed about the same time. Some
went from Sydney, some from Adelaide:
some from Newcastle, and among others
the Salamis sailed from Geelong, near Mel
bourne. We got home first, of course, but
1 mad no time in which to enjoy my vic
tory, as l was sent out again to take the
SJrathdon as quickly as a steamer could
carry me. Captain Wills had got married
and decided to turn landsman, so that
caused the change"
The Strathdon is not fast ship but, as
Captain Philip puts it, she is "a Noah's
ark for safetyn No matter how the winds
blow "she stands up like a church" and
ev en- during the gales that prevail around
the Horn her decks are never wet. Once
during his career Captain Philip lost
man overheard who was drowned, owing
to the men in the boat being unable to
ind him. Since then he has established
code of signals which tells the life-s saving
crew exactly what to do. During the day
the signals are by means of flags and at
night by fiashlight.
The Strathdon is almost new ship, and
this is her third voyage to San Francisco.
She will load wheat and some general
cargo for Liverpool, and will sail in about
two weeks.

William Tully raised disturbance on

Frank Anderson in consequence. He was
half-drunk and began firing his revolver at
the Mail Company's offices and then at a
dog that ran across the street. Anderson
walked up behind him and, catching the
shooter unawares, gave him a good trounc-
ing. Later in the day FULLY and two COM
