He was taken to a doctor, who at once
ordered him conveyed to the County
Hospital He was thoroughly examined

siderably bruised, his eyes backened and
he had serious injuries about the lower

that early last Saturday morning he was
pushed down a cellar by hoodlums, near
Fourth and Townsend streets, San Fran
cisco Again when delirious he said he
fell down a hole there. He continually
stated he had been put aboard the cars
in San Francisco and sent to Salinas by

further that his money had been taken.
He became worse, and finally died this
morning from gangrene Of the abdomen.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
OF A TORPEDO BOAT
The Davis Exceeds the Official Re
quirements by Full Knot
During Her Trial.

PORTLAND, Nov. M.-The torpedo boat
Davis, constructed at the Wolff & Sc
wicker Iron Works of this city, was given
her official trial trip on the Columbia
River to-day. Not only did the Davis
make her official trial of two hours sue
cessfully, but she made an average speed
of twenty-three and a half knots per
hour, a full knot in excess of require
ments. Lieutenant Commander F. ].
Drake, president of the naval board, this
evening sent the following dispatch to
Secretary of the Navy Long:
PORTLAND, Nov 24.-John D. Long,
Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D.
c.: Davis is the first torpedo boat on the
Pacific Coast to make one knot more tnan
contract speed Revolutions averaged 1872
No undue friction of engines or excessive
vibrations of hull. Two hours, consecu-
tive ruin; no turn. DRAKE"
Lieutenant-commander Drake expressed
himself as highly satisfied.
1T is unusual he said, "for boat of
this kind to make success before four.
teen or fifteen trips. This is the Davis
second official trial and her performance
is remarkable. Only good workmanship
and capable management could make
such a thing possible"
