Escaping Steam Nearly Caused
Panic Aboard the
Vessel.
Tugs Were Sent Out, but the Steamer
Was Run on ths Berkeley
Mud Flats.

Passengers for Stockton by the steamer
I. G. Walker got great scare last night
The big river boat left Washington-street
wharf at 6 P. NJ. and half an hour later was
off Angel Island. Then one of the steam.
pines burst and in few minutes the YES
sci was enshrouded in steam and the en-.
gines had come to a standstill.
The accident was noticed from the Office
of the Shipowners' and Merchants Tug
boat Company. and the tug Rescue was at
once sent out. The ferry-boats Tiburon
ard San Rafael were both making time
and in spite of the fact that Captain Dan
Thompson whistled for the right of way
both Of them held on and he had to pass
astern of them.
In the meantime the Walker was drift
ing toward the Berkeley mud fats, and
when the tug reached her she was in a
safe anchorage. Captain Thompson of
fered TO tow her back TO San Francisco,
but the pilot refused, saying that in an
and the steamer could proceed on her way.
The Walker had at least $50 passengers
aboard, while the Dauntless had almost
the same number. Both steamers left the
wharf at the same time and it was nip
and tuck almost to the Brothers. The
Dauntless had, if anything, the better of
the race up to the time the Walker burst
her steam pipe, and now the first news of
the trouble on the California Navigation
and improvement Company's boat will
reach Stockton on the Dauntless.
When the captain of the L. C.. Walker
found that he could not proceed without
repairs he at once beached his vessel on the
mud fats and sent TO San Francisco for
assistance. Mechanics were sent out and
as soon as the repairs mad been made the
steamer proceeded on her way.
No one was scared over the accident,
even though the Walker was enveloped in
steam cloud for Ten minutes, and the
only inconvenience was the delay. All
the necessary repairs will be made at
Stockton tonight and the Walker will
make her run to San Francisco as usual
tomorrow.

"OUR BOYS" FOR CHARITY.

Creditable Amateur Performance for the
Benefit Of Trinity School.
The Trinity School Histrionic Society
gave most creditable performance Of the
standard comedy, "Our Boys" for the
benefit of the library fund of the school,
at the Bush-street Theater on Saturday
evening.
1t is seldom that an amateur perform
ance moves so easily as did this splendid
effort OF these young people, who were re-
warded for the talent they displayed by
long continued applause from a crowded
auditorium.
Frank Matthew had charge OF the affair
and he may well feel proud of his young
pupils. Miss Hind and Miss Weldon lent
most gracefully and naturally the charms
OF their own personality to the characters
assigned them. Miss Spaulding's Aunt

character work, as was also Mr.. Ramsay

their venerable appearance and excellent

Messrs. Melone and Kenyon, couple of

There was no session of the Fair Craven

NJ. Pierson, the leading counsel for the
Fair executors.

arrived and handed him 9 physicians

son was untitled for work on account of
an attack of nervous prost-ation.
D. M. Delmas, Leading counsel for the
defense, suggested that, inasmuch as the
plaintiff hao surplus of attorneys, the
trial m ight proceed without Mr.. Pierson.
Judge Slack was of similar opinion.
Mr.. McEnerney insisted, however. that
it would be impossible 10 30 on without

continuance until this morning. The
announcement was made. though. that
the case would have to proceed at that
time whether Mr.. Pierson was in attend

INDIAN LIFE.
superintendent Daggett Discourscs of I
to Large Audienca

superintendent Daggett Discours cs of It
to Large Audience.
Interest in the lectures given under the
auspices of the Academy OF Sciences is
growing more popular with each one de-
livered. The audience that gathered to
listen to John Daggett, the Superintend-
ent OF the Mint speak on the subject of
Indian Life in Northern California"
taxed the lecture-room of the building to
its full seating capacity, and many were
satisfied to stand. There was quite a num-
Der of ladies present.
The remarks of the lecturer were illus
trated by a fine series of stereopticon
views.
Among other things Mr.. Daggett de-
clared that at one time the northern part
of the State afforded sustenance for as
many as zoe. 900 Indians, and made the
startling claim that at one time in certain
sections the land supported more Indians
than it would ever support whites.
He traced similarity in some things of
the Indians of the north, such as the
Klamaths, with those of the aborlgines of
Mexico, who were more than thousand
miles apart. His lecture largely com
prised a review of the life and habits of
the natives as indicated by the relics that
have been found of their time and manu-
facture.
