SPRECKELSES SELL OUT.
Their Hawaiian Sugar Interests Go
to a Syndicate.

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-The Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar company has
passed from the control of the Sprecl-
elses Rudolph and G. A and is now in
the hands of a syndicate Of bankers
and brokers, the new board of directors
being as follows:
Edward Pollitz, president; E. NJ
Walsh, Albert Meyer, R. G. Brown and
Chas. Sutro. Some time ago the Spreck-
eIses began to unload and the stock
was snapped as fast as possible by the
syndicate This was done quietly and
in a short time the new owners had
control The Spreckelses, it is said,
tried to rebuy, but the syndicate re
fused to sell and negotiations for the
complete transfer were arranged, the
deal being cOnsummated today.
The purchase price will reach $1,000
GOO, or $50 per share. When in Janu-
ary, 1894, the Spreckleses secured con-
troll of the stock it was not worth
cent a share, literally, but by manipula-

ArgOnaut Equipped With Pow

Divers Leave the Vessel While
Under Water.
las BEEN A SUCCESS.

Baltimore, Oct THAT realization Of
Jules Verne's dream, the submarine
vessel ''Argonaut," is on her way from
Baltimore to New York. The craft has
made many successful descents in the
Chesapeake bay, but it is desired to try
her off Sandy Hook, where wrecks are
to be examined, and to exhibit the yes
sci in New York harbor
The Argonaut is proceeding north un-
der her own power. She went up the
Chesapeake and through the Chesa-
peake and Delaware canal to Delaware
City, where she was on Sunday. The
water in the Delaware and Raritan
canal was too shallow to permit the
vessel reaching New York by that route
and she was headed down the Delaware
river to the sea- She will go up the
coast to the vicinity Of New York, and
is due near the metropolis about Thurs
day.
The Argonaut is built of steel, and
has a length of thirty-six feet and a
width of nine feet. Her shape resem-
bles that of short banana she IS
designed to run on the surface, to run
under the sea, and crawl along the bot
tom in search OF wrecks or lost treas
ure.
The vessel has two wheels under the
bow and one under the stern, for trav-
cling on the bed of the seacoast.
The craft is equipped with powerful

The vessel is sunk by filing water bal

desired to raise her the tanks are

The ArgOnaut recently returned from

bay and travelling from Baltimore to
the sea- She has Travelled while SUBJ

divers would sink into the mud over
their knees.
The Argonaut has excited much in

greatest length of one continuous sub

not have the machinery running nor
was any fresh air admitted into the
boat. Meals were cooked below with
no more inconvenience than when on
the surface.

HATS HAVE RIGHTS.
Preacher Quotes From an Apostle to
Substantiate Statement

Belleville, Ill, Oct. Rev. William
Weber, pastor of st. Paurs Free Pro-
testant church. preached a sermon Sun
day night which the town is just be-
ginning to talk about.
He gives st. Paul as the responsible
person for the hat in the theater. Mr.
Weber bases such belief by referring
to the first part of chapter IL of the
First Epistle to the Corinthians The
Apostle Paul, the way he interprets the
passage, commands men of the con-
gregation to have their heads uncov-
cred and the women theirs covered
when praying or prophesying, which,
the pastor says, means when attending
religious services.
Paul, according to the minister, fol-
lowed this command wherever he form
ed congregations.
The minister leads up to the theater
by saying that the theaters of the
ancient Greeks were religious institu-
tions and traces up the evolution until
he connects it with the modern theater,
church and other places where women

INSPECTORS ON DUTY.
Watching Chimney Tops to CatcL
Disobedient Manufacturers

New York, Oct. 1.-The twenty-seven
inspectors assigned by the health board
yesterday to detect violators of the soft
coal regulations of the department
started on their work at an early hour
this morning. It will take several days
to locate the factories where the ordi-
nance is violated, as the inspectors have
to watch factory chimneys to catch the
disobedient. Whenever an inspector
sees a pillar of smoke he traces it to
its source. Managers of several down.

to be among the guilty denied the
charge today. They said they were
forced to burn refuse, as they
could not dispose of it in any other
manner.

was satisfactory" said DR.. Charles F.
Roberts, the sanitary superintendent
this morning. LAS to the violations of
the code which they found, I do not
care to make them public now, for the
reason that if the nuisance is abated
the end sought for is obtained and the
ViolatOr of the code does not suffer in
any way by publicity. OF course, if
these men do not heed a warning other
measures to enforce obedience will have
to be adopted and their names will be

REPUDIATES MISS HILL.
Gen. Gordon Says There Can't Be An
other Daughter of the
ConfederacY.

Reynolds, Ga, Sept. 30.-Genera1 John
B. Gordon. commander in chief of the

Press dispatch from Chicago in which
Miss Lucy Hill claims to have had the
title Daughter of the Confederacy."
conferred upon her by her southern
friends since the death of Winnie
Davis.
The general was asked If the title
could be thus transferred and replied
with great earnestness:
"Emphatically no. Miss Winnie was
the only daughter of President Davis
born in the confederate White House
during the life of the confederacy AS
Jefferson Davis was the only president
of the confederate government, no
daughter of any other official could tru-
ly represent the confederacy. For that
reason it would not be appropriate to
call even the daughter of General Rob-
ert E. Lee the Daughter of the Con-
federacy.' To designate any one else as
Daughter of the Confederacy,' would
not only be inappropriate and meaning
less, but would deprive the title of all
its value.
except Miss Winnie Davis is entitled to
be called the Daughter of the CCnfed-
eracy.' That title was unique and pc
culiarly her own and is very properly
to be placed upon her tomb. To desig-
nate any one else by that title would
be almost a sacrilege.
''As with Jefferson Davis passed the
title of president of the confederacy, so
with Miss, Winnie has passed that of
Daughter of the Confederacy.'

LEAPED TO DEATH.
Scolded Wife Seeks Peace In a Tragic
Death.

New York, Oct. 1.-Amelia Martin
jumped from a fourth story window
last night and was crushed to death
Her husband had scolded her; for that
reason alone she is said to have jumped
She was only p years old.
Martin reached his home shortly after
O'Clock. His wife was not there, nei-
ther was there any dinner for him, and
he was very angry when Mrs. Martin
at length appeared, two hours later.
A scene ensued. Martin told his wife
that it was her duty to be at home
when he returned from his days work
and that no woman who cared for a
man would allow him to return to his
home in the evening after the toll and
troubles of a day to find it as cherries
as he found it that moment.
The husband was in too much of a
rage to notice that his wife took the
scolding deeply to heart. She asked
him if he did not remember that she
had told him in the morning before he
went away that she would spend the
day with her sister, but he would not
listen to her, and presently went to an
other room. slamming the door. He
threw himself upon the bed, but a mo-
ment later his wife's voice, in a strange
key, calling him by name, caused him
to rush to the door. As he opened it he
saw her body falling out of the win
dow. It landed on the steps, and was
frightfully battered and bruised.
DR.. WeinlSOOp of Bellevue. who re-
sponded to the ambulance call, thought
that every bone in the Woman's body
must have been broken. Death was
instantaneous. The body was taken
back to the Martin rooms, on the fourth
floor.
The husband, Daniel. who is 81 years
of age, was arrested by Policeman Dow
ling and taken to the Fifth street sta
tion. His landlord spoke so highly of
him. however. that Sergeant Hayes
promptly released him.
Martin said that his wife, whom he
married ave years ago, when but a
mere girl. had had considera BILE sick
ness in the past year or so. and their
two children, moreover, had died in that
period. He said she had once threat
ened to end her life, and that she was
probably in one of her despondent
moods when the unfortunate scolding
occurred.
They had. he declared. always lived
happily together.

GOLD AND FURS.
Valuable Cargo Brought Down by the
LeeIanaU

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-The steamer
Leelanaw has arrived from St Michael
with nearly $50 passengers, many of
whom are miners. 1t is impossible to
estimate the amount of gold and drafts
brought down by the passengers as
most of them refuse point blank to
state their wealth. Among her pas
sengers was United States Collector
Ivey, who returns for the winter The
miners complain bitterly against al
legged overcharge on the part of
Canadian officials, the 10 per cent clause
being the chief bone of contention. The
miners say there will be much suffering
at Dawson this winter.
The LeelanaW had on board from St
Paul 1850 sea1skin and IT'S blue fox
skins. From st. George she carried p
1S5 seal and over 1000 valuable fox
furs. At Dutch Harbor 25 fine sea otter
skins were put on board.

CARNEGIE IS A BUSY MAN.
New Steel Ships For the Porto Rican
and Cuban Trade.

New York, Oct. 1.-The announcement
of the purpose of the Carnegie interests
to establish here an enormous shipbuilding
ing plant aroused no small amount of en-
thusiasm yesterday among shipping peo-
pie. The idea is one which the Maritime
Exchange has favored.
A large amount of the business done by
the new plant is expected to be in the way
of building warships for the United States
and other navies. Nevertheless a ship
yard of the size contemplated by the
Steel Trust-Carnegie plans finds a profit
in producing other kinds of vessels and
the indications all point to a great de-
mand for American-built steel steamships
from now on.
Moreover. a dry dock capable of accom-
modating vessels of the largest dimen-
sions, is to be connected with the new en-
terprise. Such a dry dock has been needed
