Run Away with a steamboat.

The steamboat Henry L. Bishop,
which formerly ran between Philadel
plia and Lincoln Park, was recently
attached while lying at the shipyard OF
Morris " Mathis, at Cooper's Point.
The attachment was issued out of the
Sheriff's flee. of Camden county,
against the alleged owner of the boat,
and John Robinson was placed aboard
The steamer as "A Waterman. On Thurs
day Afternoon of last week q crowd
boarded the boat and cut the hawser

the river with the Waterman aboard.
AT Chester lie was put ashore, and was
given his car fare TO Camden, and an
extra crew WAS taken aboard the steam
or and, it is said, started for New York.
Counsel in the case states that the boat
was owned by Captain Stoney's son,
and he merely took his property
away"

Andrew Butler Found
Dead Near a Portland
Cemetery.
Loses His Way While Driving
a Cow and Succunbs
to Exposure.
Years Ago the Unfortunate Was One
of San Francisco's Prosperous
Merchants.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 24.-"Death
from exposure" was the verdict of the
Coroner's jury to-day that investi-
gated the death of Andrew Butler, who
was found dead near Riverview Gene
terry this morning. Butler was former
ly a wealthy San Francisco merchant.
He was "a years old, and lived at Sew
enth and Madison streets. He had a
farm at Riverdale, where he was wont
to go occasionally.
His wife states that he left home
Thursday to drive a cow to the farm,
and she heard nothing further from
him until DR.. Koehler, the Coroner,
brought the news of his death.
From the evidence taken at the in
quest it appears that Butler had at
tempted to drive the cow to his farm
in the night, but losing his bearings
about the cemetery was overcome by
the cold. Why he delayed making the
trip until after dark set in is not re-
Vealed.
A man in the employ of the sexton
at the cemetery says Butler inquired
of him about midnight if he was on the
proper road, and upon receiving an af-
firmatiVe reply started on. He was
found this morning early, only short
distance further on, dead.
Near where the body lay was an
electric light pole, which bore evidence
that the exhausted man had come in
contact with it. He was probably un-
able to rise in consequence of the shock
and perished from exposure.
The body was discovered about 8
o'clock, in a small pool of water, being
partly submerged.
Butler had lived here nearly fifteen
years, coming to this city from Califor-
MIA. He conducted an extensive busi-
ness in San Francisco several years,
where he was prominent in commercial
circles. He leaves a wife, two daugh-
ters and son, one of the daughters be-
ing married and the other engaged in
teaching school in this city. The son
is employed in the Golden Rule Bazaar.

TOO ExACTING.

Time was when there was only one
chaise in the town of Mechanic Falls,
and that one belonged to an old man
of somewhat eccentric ways.
One day a young man wanted to
hire the chaise to take his best girl to
ride. The owner agreed, but nothing
was said about the price. Toward
nightfall the young man brought the
chaise back.
How much is the damage?" he
asked.
"Whered' you go?" returned the old
man.
The young man named the place.
How far do you call that?"
Twelve miles,
Nope" said the old man, its only
ten
Il tell you it's twelve good long
miles, and I've been over it times
enough to know"
HIN I Travelled the road before
you was out of dresses. tell We 'tain't
but ten miles"
Both of them were losing their tens
pers rapidly.
Never mind how far it is,' cried the
young man. You tell me how much
1 owe you and I'll pay you and get
out
Catching his breath, the old man
thundered: Young feller. We don't owe
me a cent. but by mighty, I'll be durn-
ed eff you're agoin' to cheat me on the
distance. Lewiston Journal

FINISHING THE CHIToS.
UDion Iron Works GettiDg the Big
japanese Worship Ready for
LQuncbiDQ.

Work on the Japanese war vessel at
the Union Iron Works has so far pro-
gressed that it is the intention of the
SCOTS to have her launched in the
early part of next month. This pro-
gress on the vessel is not brought
about by any instructions from the
Japanese Government, but, rather, by
a desire on the part of Irving NJ. Scott
to get the vessel off the ways to make
room for other contracts awaiting full
fillment.
In the launching of the Chitos next
month the Union Iron Works will
show other shipbuilders that notwith-
standing the distance between San
Francisco and the Cramps yard where
the material, such as is prepared in
the East for vessels of this class, can
be procured and delivered inside of a
few hours, whereas it requires from
twenty to thirty days to set the same
articles delivered at the Union Iron
Works, yet the speed made in the
construction of the Chitos is in favor
of the SCOTS, in more ways than one.
In addition to the work being done
quicker at their yards the Japanese
Government can rely on having an ad-
ditional man-of-war ready for service
by the Cramps, as it would take all of
this time to get the Eastern-built YES
sci round Cape Horn, assuming that
both ships were launched at the same
time.
1t was announced some time ago
that the Kasagi-Kan would be
launched from Cramps ways during
the present month, but for some rea-
son not yet explained she has not yet
kissed the salt water, but will do so on
the goth of January. In the mean time
the Chitos will perform a similar feat
in the San Francisco Bay.
AS regards the dispatch which ap-
peared in the newspapers from the
East yesterday that the Japanese
Government anticipated the need of
war vessels in consequence of the dis
turbed condition in the Orient. l. NJ
Scott had no information on this sub
ject. The vessel is now so near COM
pletion that there is no necessity for
hurry in getting her off the ways. AS
soon as she is launched she will go di-
rect to her home in the Orient where
she will receive her armament. The
Japanese Government use the English
Armstrong guns on all their ships.
Hence, she will not be equipped in this
port.

SAFE AND LOCK
COMPANY FAILS
Receivers Appointed for the
Observation-Disclosures
Concern.
Crisis Precipitated by the Filing OF an
Attachment by One Of the
Directors.
Special Dispatch tc The Call.


HAMILTON, Ohio, Dec. 24.-At 10
last night William and Moses Mosler
of the Mosler Safe and Lock Company
of this city filed suit in the Common
Pleas Court for the appointment of a
receiver for the Herring Hall Marvin
Safe and Lock Company as far as their
property is located in Ohio. James
Neilan has appointed S. D. Fitton,
president of the First National Bank
of Hamilton, as receiver, and he was
qualified by giving bond in the sum of
$4,000 with d. w. Fitton, z. Gruder,
e. A. Belden and c. Benninghofen as
sureties. Receivers for the New York
and New Jersey property were applied
for also.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Stephen A
jerks, president of the Herring Hall
Marvin Company, has given out the
following statement concerning the af-
fairs of the corporation:
THE appointment of receiver for
the property of the Herring Hall Mar
win Company was precipitated by the
action of Moses Mosler, who for the
past two years and until two weeks
ago has been a director of the COM
pany, chairman of its executive COM
mittee and in active charge of the
management of it's business, and, who,
without giving any notice to the COM
Pelhy VI It's I6NlSu an attach
ment on its property. The designations
of Mr.. Mosler and his brother, William
Mosler, as directors of the company,
were received about two weeks ago.
The company assets are intact. No
preference or security has been given
any creditor, and the entire property
has passed into the hands of receivers
appointed by the United States courts.
A plan of REORGANIZATION has been un-
der consideration for some time. as is
we'll known to those interested in the
company. and it had been hoped to
consummate the plan without a re-
ceivership.
THE plan embraces the furnishing of
new capital to an amount sufficient to
pay all debts and enable the company
to buy on a cash basis; also making
such reduction in the capital stock as
will bring 1t into proper relation with
the company's present assets. 1t is
we'll known that the company has sus-
tanned severe losses during recent
years, and 1T was those losses that led
to placing the management in the
hands of the present voting trustees.
THE present receivership will not
prevent the plan from going forward,
but it will be completed and laid before
the stockholders at an early date for
their approval.
AT the last annual report made in
August the companys assets were re-
ported as being $1,4S4 ,321: liabilities,
$270,963; net assets. $1.213,35S The vot-
ing trustees intend to fully protect the
interests of the stockholders and will
not permit any advantage TO be given
by any person of the company's present
situation"
1t was stated that the application for
a receiver in the New Jersey courts had
resulted in the appointment of w. d.
Pownal and ex-State Treasurer of New
Jersey Gray. Mr.. Pownal is. vice -presi-
dent of the Herring Hall Marvin Com
pany, and has been connected with the
Herring Company many years.

amount $780, 900 was the value of the
building and S128,000 the estimated
cost of the exhibits and material in
the exposition in progress in the build
ing. Insurance to the amount of $780,,
600 was carried on the Coliseum, but
of this amount 100000 will go to the
holders of outstanding bonds to pay
the obligations in full. The owners of
the building will get but $4,000 out of
their insurance. Colonel John T. Dick
insOn, president of the Coliseum Com
pany, said tonight that no effort
would be made to restore the building
The Coliseum was twice as large as
the Madison Square Garden building
of New York. 1t had a floor space of
seven acres, including the ground and
gallery floors, was $40 feet long by 300
feet wide and contained $500, ,000pounds
of steel, 100000 feet of timber and
1900, 600 bricks.
On August 21. 1895, the first Coliseum,
then in the course of construction, was
wrecked, entailing a loss of s125, 900.
The cause of the collapse has never
been known. but it was thought that
the last arch was not placed in posi-
tion correctly.
The building was to have been OPEN
ed on September of that year by a cir
Gus, and the contractors were rushing
the work in order to have it completed

working on the building up to half an
hour before the crash came, which was
at 11:10 at night. Fifty thousand feet
of green lumber, which was to have
been used for the roofing. was on the
roof of the building at the time, and
the weight of this was supposed to
have had something to do with the ac-
cident.
While responding TO the alarm of fire
from the Coliseum Engine Company 10
collided with a passenger train on the
Lake Shore road, smashing the en-
gine badly. Only one of the firemen,
Albert Chamberlain, was injured. The
accident occurred at Forty-f first street
and Cottage Grove avenue.
The hose cart of the company was
ahead of the fire engine and close upon
train approaching and closed the
gate, however, and, before the driver
could stop his horses, crashed into ii,
carrying it down completely The
driver managed to stop his horses on
the track, and the watchman, seeing
that unless he opened the gate the hose
cart would be run into, opened the
gate, letting the cart out of danger.
The driver Of the engine, which was
close behind, thought from the raising
of the far side gates that the way was
clear, urged on his horses and dashed
on the tracks. The train was there
before he was, and he drove squarely
into the side of a rapidly moving
| passenger coach. All of the firemen
were thrown from their seats, but all
| of them escaped injury with the excep-
! ton Of Chamberlain.

THE CHANCE BLOW

The British Coroner's jury who rem
dered a verdict in the case of Walter
Crot, who was punched to death by
Jimmy Barry Of Chicago in a recent
prize fight, has thrown a radiant light
of humor over an otherwise distress
ing happening. The verdict is to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death accidentally, through a fracture
Of the base of the skull, caused by his
being knocked down by Barry. This
would indicate that the knock down
was quite unprecedented. 1t rather
perpetuates the theory of the Chance
blow" one of those punches which Mr.
Robert Fitzsimmons has been using

Nuggets Taken From the

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 24.-In the giz-
zard of an ordinary middle sized tur-
key, which S. NJ. Clark, vice president
OF the Portland Coffee and Spice Mills,
purchased in a local market to-day,
was found a collection of gold nuggets
that would bring gladness to the eyes
of an old prospector. There was only
20 or 80 cents worth of it there, but it
was in rich, yellow Jumps, and of the
color that stirs mems souls to san
culinary combat.
zard, such as tacks, trousers buttons,
pebbles and bits of quartz, but as may
be imagined, they We're a secondary
consideration.
The turkey with great many other
turkeys was hanging in a market
Thursday evening. Mr.. Clark, pass
ing that way, coveted him and ex-
changed for him several pieces of
silver, suspecting nothing of his aurif-
erous interior The cook ripped open
the gizzard and, thrusting it into a
pan of water. washed it out.
Something clinked in the pan. When
he looked down and saw some shining
particles of gold he was nearly para
lyzed with surprise. This bird had evil
IDENTIFY been browsing on gold quartz,
a tOlerably rich diet for an ordinary
scrub turkey.
With the gold were pieces of a trans
lucent substance which looked like
glass, but which a jeweler, to whom
Mr.. Clark hastened with his treasures,
pronounced to be quartz. The turkey
had evidently swallowed both together
and had divorced them in his gizzard.
