GENTLY REARED,
 BUT A THIEF
Stockton Youth Arrested for the Theft of a Purse in
 a Restaurant.
Taken Into Custody After He Had Squandered Much of the
 Stolen Coin.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 STOCKTON, Jan. 3-Edward Me Enerny, who comes of a well-known family of this city, and who has held responsible positions, was arrested late this afternoon on a charge of grand larceny. He is accused of having stolen a purse containing $40. When he was arrested $100 was found in his posses sion.
 McEnerny and a companion were in an eating house this forenoon and were seen to leave shortly after another guest had departed. The latter re- turned soon, saying that he had lost his purse. A search was made, but it could not be found. McEnerny was suspected and shadowed. He was seen to make a show of money and spent coin freely with his friends over bars He also went around paying various small bills. As he had not been work ing for some time, and appeared to be in hard circumstances, his friends were at a loss to know where he suddenly came into possession of so much money. The officers who had been watching him placed him under arrest before he had time to blow any more of the coin.
 Young McEnerny is youth of a good business education, and until recently held responsible position in a real estate office, where he was a trusted employe. Afterward he was an att tache of the County Recorders office but of late he has been out of em- ployment. Whisky got the better of him and has left him a wreck. This evening the young mans father was trying to get him out of the scrape.

PRISON OPENS
 FOR ANARCHISTS
Pope, Addis and Isaac Found Guilty of Misusing the
 Mails.
Published and Distributed "The Fire brand" a Paper Containing In
 decent Articles.
sneoia1 pispatah to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Gail.
 PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 3.-The trial of A. J. Pope, Henry E. Addis and Abraham Isaacs, members of an an- archist gang and proprietors and pub fishers of a small paper called the Firebrand, for sending illegal litera- ture through the United States mail, resulted in their conviction in the United States District Court to-day before Judge Bellinger and a jury.
 An issue of the Firebrand in July last was debarred from the mails by United States Attorney Murphy as unmailable, and Pope, who had pre- scented it at the PoStoffice for mailing, was arrested at the time, and war rants were issued for Addis and Isaacs. Addis was captured in the hop fields, and 1saacs surrendered himself few days later. Pope and Addis were in the County Jail for some time, when Addis was released on bail, but Pope declined to give bail, and was finally released on his own recoe niZance. After the Grand Jury found a true bill against him he was placed in jail again.
 In his opening of the case United States Attorney Hill claimed that ar ticles published in the Firebrand of certain dates, upon which the indict- ments were based, were indecent, las civious and lewd, and not fit for even adults to read
 These papers had been procured by Postoffice Inspector Robinson, who had written to the publishers of the Firebrand for them under the name of R. A. Williams, and inclosed 50 cents to pay a years subscription. The papers were sent to him through the mails, and also postal card, written by Adds, stating that the back num- bers asked for had been mailed, and informing him that by calling at the l office he could get others.
 The jury was out ten minutes.

Morse are now with the ship, but the following probably would be: J. N Lane, captain; H. M. Speyer, chief off, cer; Thomas Mcdonald, second mate; A. Johanson, carpenter; A. N. Winter, cook, and K. Saiga, cabin boy. Since the Morse sailed from Seattle num- Der of heavy gales have prevailed on the coast. Shipping men think that the Morse may have been caught in one of these and being partly disabled may have been driven out of her course. Captain Lane is we'll known in San Francisco as a thorough seaman, and his friends are of the opinion that the vessel will finally reach port in safety.
 The schooner Falcon arrived from Tahiti early yesterday morning with eleven of the crew of the Norwegian bark Gyda on board. Some time ago the bark was caught in a storm and had to put into the Marquesas, almost totally dismasted. She managed to reach Papeete under a jury rig and there, after several attempts to repair her had failed, the French authorities condemned her. Mate Gabrielson and ten of the crew shipped for San Fran cisco on the Falcon and Captain Jonas sen has remained behind to dispose of the cargo of cocoa that was on the bark when she was wrecked.
 Julius Homan, steward on the Sac ramento River steamer Pride of the River, attempted to take his own life early yesterday morning. He had a quarrel with his sweetheart, Mrs. Mamie Hunt, who lives at 306 Pine street, and from there he went to Chinatown, where he purchased % cents worth of opium. He swallowed the drug and soon after was found lying on the sidewalk on Jackson street. He was discovered by a police officer, who took him to the Harbor Re- ceiving Hospital, where Drs. Hill and Zabaia pumped him out. Yesterday Homan was repentant and had come to the conclusion that no woman was worth his life. He says that the man who won Mrs. Hunt away from him is welcome to her. The steward was to have gone out on the steamer on her usual trip to Sacramento, but missed the vessel and will have to wait for the next trip.
 The Pacific Steam Whaling Company has been awarded the contract of car rying the United States mails from Dyea to UnalaSka.

reaux every soul on board would have perished. He carried a line through. the boiling surf to the shore, and by means of it the shipwrecked sailors reached place of safety. The wounds and bruises of Jacobson and Christian sen received on that occasion can still be seen on their bodies.
 After reaching Seattle some of the men came home overland. but the sail ors in question slowed away on the steamer Umatilla. They got in the cold-storage chamber on December 30, at S:30 a. m., were sealed up at Port Townsend and did not get out of their prison until January 2, at 4:15 p. m. They were then more dead than alive and had to be carried on deck. Their tongues were swollen and lacerated from licking the sweat from the mast in order to allay their thirst, and they were so weak from hunger that they could not stand. Chief Steward Curtis saw to it that they got both food and drink, and when the Umatilla docked yesterday morning both the men were able to go ashore.
 "AlI that we suffered during our lives did not compare with what We had to endure during the past three weeks" said Jacobson on board the steamer yesterday. "The Vesta was caught in the gale that wrecked the steamer Cleveland and we had a ter rible time of it. Our sails were blown away, one of the masts went by the board, the cabin and forecastle were gutted, everything movable on deck was washed away, and finally we were driven ashore ten miles southeast of Carmanah light. Waves were washing over the boat continuously, and had it not been for Mate Genereaux, who swan ashore through the breakers, we would all have been drowned. As it was, Christiansen and l have been in the hospital at Seattle.
 From where we went ashore we walked to the lighthouse, where our clothes were dried and food given us. From there we went to Neah Bay in a rowboat, and from there to Port Townsend, where we were paid off. Christiansen and I then went to Seat tie, where we were sent to the hos pital When we were discharged we could not get ship and no sailor clearinghouse would take us in. so we resolved to stow away on the Uma- tilla. We got into the forepeak and hid among the cargo, but on the way to Port Townsend it got so cold that we crept into a place where we were protected from the wind. That was the freezing chamber, and there were a lot of trunks and valises in it. We

Doirying Interests Damaged by

Superintendent J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific Company returned yesterday from Salinas whither he went on business connected with the road
 MT. Fillmore stated that the farm CTS in that section were in state of fearful apprehension regarding the long continued drought, which has al- ready wrought great damage to dairy men. It is declared that if there be no rain within a very few days much livestock must be shipped to other parts to save it, as pasturage is de- pended upon almost wholly for the matter of feed. and the grass is al- ready completely withered.
 So far as concerns grain, MT. Fill more says, there is no damage to re- port thus far, and rain within the next ten or fifteen days will make that crop safe beyond all peradventure.

went to sleep and were awakened by the crew closing up the place in which we were hiding. The baggage was be- ing sealed up by the Custom-house of- ficers in order to save searching when the steamer got to San Francisco. But we did not know that fact and went to sleep again, intending to show our selves on deck when the Umatilla had left Victoria and was on her way to sea.
 You can imagine our feelings when we tried to get out of the chamber and could not. Then we kicked and yelled, but no one could hear us, and for awhile we gave up. Then we got hungry, but the hunger was soon swal- lowed up in the raging thirst.
 Whether I was cold or warm, hun gry or full I know not. All I can re- member is that all-consuming thirst. A certain amount of moisture gathered on the iron mast, and that we licked off every time it gathered. When it would all be licked from our feet as high as our heads we would pile up the baggage until we reached the roof ing, and then we would begin at the bottom again. Finally, when the crew of the steamer was getting ready for the coming docking of the ship, we made ourselves heard and the seals were broken. We were taken on deck and could barely gasp 'Water.' It was given to us, and then in a little while we got hungry. That meat they gave us tasted better to me than anything I ever ate in my life. We are all right now, but I never want to go through an experience like that again."
 The cabin-boys on board the Uma- tilla say that they heard some strange noises in the freezing chamber, but did not pay any attention to them, thinking that it was the baggage moving with the motion of the ship. Luckily the cold air was not turned into the chamber or the two men would have been frozen to death.
