ner IS prepared to carry out the brief promise he made to the Governor and 10 his own officers when she went into commlssion-that her record in the fu- ture should throw no discredit on the name she had made in the past
 With six boat-keepers to keep her clean and keep her gear in order and the men of the reserve to wake the martial echoes of her decks, the old snip will lie peacefully-a better fate than to be shackled to a buoy and swing listlessly in the tide while the salt water slowly eats her hull away.
 The Governor expressed the greatest satisfaction at the way in which the ship was handled and the interest the men showed in their new possession.
 This step,' he said, will prove of the greatest advantage to the naval militia, and is in harmony with the progress already made by this adminis- tration in the reorganization of our State land and naval forces. NotWith standing that the four years of the present administration will show a sav ing of upward of $130,0 for support encampmentS and uniforms over the four years of the preceding administra- tion. the National Guard of California Is to-day in better condition than ever before, fact conceded by the United states army and naval authorities Now that the Marion has been trans ferred to us, the officers and men of the naval militia will have an opportunity to master the details of that branch of the service which they never before possessed, and that they will appreciate it Is already evident from the efficient manner in which the officers, engineers and men, under the capable command of Captain Turner, handled the vessel to-day, from the time of its leaving the hands of the United States authorities at Mare Island to its arrival at the dock in San Francisco.

 have been outspoken for months in my denunciation of the conduct of these men and have repeatedly condemned thir ac- uons. l could not decently tolerate one of them, when he would try to explain matters to me, so pre1udiced was against the hypocritical set. that the mere sug- gestfon that any consideration on their part would make me favorable to them Is not even probable. When Wadham or any or the rest of these mongrels state that l made any reference, directly or indirectly, to any financial consideration l charge them with being blackmailers and before I get through with them I will succeed in ridding the community of their obnoxious presence. Specifically, I deny ever having had a conversation with this Wadham about pound matters ex- cept as to his and his associates mis- management. They talk of rumors, etc. These are all the results of the consterna- ton in their ranks, and if they think that such statements, printed or other wise, can deter me from doing my duty and taking the impounding from the so- ciety, they have mistaken their man.
 The fnSinuationS of Mir Holbrook that he had hints of propositions and that he was familiar with these stories Is con temptible. He dares not say that I hinted to him or any influential director. but makes the general statement, backed up only by direct statement of one of his tools-the dog catcher, Wadham. demand the proofs that MT. Holbrook and MT. Seymour say they have.
 Holbrook is dying hard, and in his death struggles for official pap-sucking he seeks to drag me down. But I defy them, and fling back the lies in their teeth.

down on a mudbank, and there she stuck for over an hour. She finally forced her way through 1t and then it was a clear run to the city.
 The inconvenience of being hung up on mud bank was offset in a great measure by what had been provided at the captains table, and while the en- zines strained and rumbled the Cover nor and his staff and the officers of the ship who were not on duty succeeded in entertaining themselves. while for ward on the berth deck the crew fol- lowed suit. Most of the time on the way down was spent in clearing the anchor of Its chain, and this was finally done.
 The Marion arrived at her berth a little after o'clock, and she was docked as gently and as neatly as ever steamship captain doCked his vessel Her sides were not even scratched as she was run alongside and tied hard and fast to the wharf.

 The tug bearing the Governor and his guests hove in sight about II o'clock, and at once all hands were called 10 quarters to fittingly receive the com mander-in-c chief. The marine guard was drawn up on the deck and eight slde-ooys sprang to the gangway ready to welcome the Executive as he came over the side. As the Governor reached the deck four flourishes on the bugle and four ruffles on the drum gave boisterous testimony of his pres ence.
 With all the men at quarters. and while the officers stood in attentive groups on the afterdeck, Adjutant- General Barrett read the orders of the Governor assigning the ship to the naval militia. and then he handed to Captain Turner an order to assume command. This the captain read to the crew and assembled officers. Then the executive officer ordered the colors set and to the blare of bugles and the roll of drums buntings f1uttered aloft. while officers and men faced aft to the na- tional ensign travelling upward to the gaff
 At once preparations were made to weigh anchor, and the windlass creake1 and groaned and the men worked like Trojans until the mud-smeared hook came to the surface. It was badly fouled in its own chain.
 Before the Marion was got under way Captain Glass of the navy-yard came on board to present the compliments of Admiral Kirkland to Governor Budd and to Captain Turner.
 The Marion lay far up the stream. where the channel is both narrow and shallow. and the tide was ebbing fa st when she started to turn. There was not room enough. and she was borne

John Adams, a Boiler. maker, Complains
 Against Him.
Accuses Him of Conduct Unbe- coming a Member of
 the Force.
Falsely Arrested, Punched in the Ribs and Treated Like
 a Dog.

John Adams, boilermaker living at 614 Howard street, made formal com- plaint to Captain Spillane yesterday afternoon against Policeman L. M. Say, as advised by General Hart, whom he consulted in the matter, charging the officer with unbecoming conduct.
 Adams was arrested by Say early Friday morning on a charge of dis turbing the peace. He was unable to procure bail and remained in prison till Saturday when Judge Campbell, after hearing the case. dismissed it.
 Adams statement IS as follows: ''I was just going to bed. when another roomer in the house asked me to go downstairs to the saloon to have a glass of beer. When We got to the bottom of the stairs my friend took hold of my coat collar and gave me a shaking for fun. My hat fell off and rolled onto the sidewalk. Say happened to be passing at the time, and he gruff- ly told me to go upstairs to bed l merely said all right, but he grabbed hold of me and dragged me upstairs and kept punching me in the ribs with his closed fist. Say went away and ] was standing on the top of the stairs telling MT. Brown about how Say had treated me, when Say returned He dragged me downstairs as if had been a dog, and when I asked him what he meant he cursed me and said he was going to lock me up. I asked him upon what charge, and he told me to shut up. He took me to the patrol box and 1 was sent to the prison on a charge of disturbing the peace. l still feel the effects of the punching on the ribs he gave me, and will not be able to work for some days on account of it''
 Adams denies that he ever had any trouble with Say, in fact, he said he had never spoken to him before He made another charge against Say which he said was the only explanation he could offer for his conduct, and will embody 1t in his complaint.

Says That Wadhann Is Actu-

 Committeeman Delany was very an- gry last night. He brought long type written statement to The Call editorial rooms. of which the following is the material part:
 The article which appeared in vester- days Call is the result of my cornmfttea'e action in recommending a change in inc administration of pound matters in tbis city '-'i'

 The eur himself who barks ouf thjs complaint is a fitting one in this kennel to lead this attack.

DIR. ROTTANZI'S VIEWS
He Thinks That Osborn Is Clearly Entitled to the
 Position.

Supervisor Rottanzi, member of the Health and Police Committee, stated yesterday that the article in The Call on Sunday morning was the first inti- nation that he had that charges had been preferred against Chairman De- lany.
 T know nothing whatever of the matters mentioned by MT. Wadham," ]" said Dr. RottanZi, "and 1t appears to me that if Supervisor Delany made any such talk as he is credited with he must have done so in joke. The cap tain is inclined to be facetious at times and l have heard him ask in jest on a number of occasions how much money there was to be made out of the grant ing of privileges.
 As to the merits in the change of the management of the pound I have ideas of my own and voted according ly. l was of the opinion, and still am. that MT. Osborn should have the posi- ton of pound keeper. Those members of the Society for Prevention of Cru city to Animals who urged his removal admitted that his administration had been excellent and that the reason they wanted to get rid of him was that he ceased turning back into the treasury his salary of $75 a month If he con ducted the pound properly he certain " earned that amount, and I cannot understand why the board should be forced to do the bidding of the trus- tees. l am for Osborn and shall con tinue to be so''

" HERE is a buoy in rotten row at
 the Navy Yard stretching its
 clammy iron fingers for the fore l chains of the Marion; but the
 weather scared sloop of war is safe from it's clutches and lies cradled snugly in a berth at Howard pier.
 Under her own steam, manned by members of the naval militia only and flying the Governors flag at the main truck, she came down to the city yes terday and will from now on be the home of the local divisions of the re- serve.
 It Is nearly a month since the vessel was turned over to the State by the Federal authorities. She had just come home from a cruise in the Chinese wa ters, and the intention was to put her out of commission-to chain her to a buoy in the stream off the navy yard, tear out her inner fittings and strip her masts of spars and rigging, and let her slowly rot until her seams opened and she sank onto the mud
 Captain Turner, commander of the naval militia, the boat-keepers he had selected and several of his officers went up to the yard Friday morning to pre- pare the ship for the reception of the crew which was to take her down to her berth on the city water front The crew went up on the Monticello at g o'clock Saturday night, and was at once told off into watches; then those not on duty slung their hammocks on the berthdeck and turned in like old sailors.
 At half past five yesterday morning the cheering notes of reveille shook the timbers of the old warship, and the crew tumbled out to prepare for the re- ception of the Governor and his staff and guests, who were to come up on

man, Fatally Hurt.
The Anacostia freight yard was the
scene OF fatal accident yesterday after
neon, Joseph H. Dlmmick, brakeman.
Being the victim. Just when or how he
was Killed cannot be told, for no one wit
messed the accident The wounds on the
DC dy indicate that he was caught between
TWO cars, for his chest was badly crushed
ana MS ribs broken. His coat was a little
torn, but there was nothing about the ap-
Pearance OF the body to show that it had
been dragged by a moving train
Friends of the dead man regard If as
singular that no one knew Of the occur
renee until track walker happened to
find the body. Had he been caught be-
" cen cars In the manner supposed his
friends say, his body would have fallen on
the track ard been mangled.
1t was abDut o'clock when the police
learned of the accident and removed the
bcdy to the morgue. Death had occurred
Mains.
The deceased was only about twenty-five
years old. He had a trade, but because
Of lack OF employment he had accepted
He leaves wife and child, who live at
1876 H street southwest The deceased was
a nephew OF Lieutenant Kelly of the po-
lice department, and only last week had
served Oh jury OF inquest at the sixth
precinct station. While in the morgue at
that time he remarked to Superintendent
Schoenberger: II guess you'll have me in
here next"
This remark was made for the reason
that; the young man regarded his work as
exceedingly dangerous, and he had made
up his mind to surrender the position as
sc on as building operations should begin
Coroner Carr decided to hold an inquest
at 230 o'clock this afternoon. A Jury was
sworn and the taking of testimony was
begun The body was turned over to rela-
tives soon after the jury was sworn.
