GIBRALTAR'S GUNS.

1t is a current belief in England ac-
cording to the Daily Mail, that Gibral-
tar has always commanded the straits
which bear it's name. That belief, how
ever was until recently incorrect. The
straits are twelve and a half miles
wide, and the best guns mounted at
Gibraltar would not reach across. But
now two of the newest 80 inch wire
guns, SO feet long, and firing a shell
of $50 pounds, are being mounted at
Europa Point. These guns have a to-
tai range of fifteen miles, and will put
their shot at close quarters, through
feet of iron, so that they are most for
midable weapons. They can be loaded
and handled by two or three men, and
are so well mounted that they can fire
a shot a minute. Though only weigh
ing q tons, they are vastly superior
to the old SO ton and 100 ton muzzle
loading guns at Gibraltar. A great
deal of work is being quietly done up
on the defences of Gibraltar, which
now may be pronounced impregnable,

HAIR RAISING
EXPERIENCE OF
THE ", s, PHELPS
Lightning and Cargo
of Dynamite.

The crew of the schooner W. S. Phelps
had an experience that they never want
to duplicate during the voyage from San
Francisco to Champerico. The tight little
vessel went down in twentynine days,
a run that has not been equaled in years,
but that fact brings no consolation to
the sailors, and every time they think of
that voyage their hearts come up in their
mouths and their hair stands on end.
The w. S. Phelps was loaded with gun
powder, dynamite and other explosives.
During that run of twenty y-nine days
three storms. accompanied by thunder
and lightning, were encountered; but
while the wind was fair the schooner
could never run away from the light
ming. 1t would burn on the mastheads
like an electric light and made most
artistic display on the running rigging.
For a few moments it would be as light
as day and the next 1t would be as dark
as ErebuS. Seas were constantly break
ing aboard and it was blowing a gale,
but the crew paid no attention to those
minor details. What they watched with
breathless interest was the lightning and
each thunder clap was hailed with sigh
of relief that the danger was temporarily
passed
On an ordinary occasion Captain Nick
erson of the Phelps would have thought
nothing of the thunder and lightning
storms, but the accompanying cargo of
dynamite under his feet while the pyro-
him remember that voyage as long as he
lives.
Thomas German and Jerry Connor met
with a peculiar and painful accident on
the transport Sheridan yesterday. Both
are employees of the Fulton Iron Works
and were engaged on the. repairs being
made on the transports boilers. While
they were at work man named Thomas
Murrey passed over the grating in the
tween deck with a can of paraffine paint
He stumbled and dropped the can. spilling
the contents into the boiler room
A considerable quantity of the paint fell
on German, and on looking up and seeing
what had happened he got from under.
and that set the paint on his clothes
afire. Connor went to his assistance and
got burned in saving German. Both men
were treated at the Harbor Hospital and
pital, while Connor was sent home. Cor
man was badly burned about the face,
head. neck and arms. Connor was burned
about the hands and wrists.
The schooner Mary Z. Foster arrived
from Honolulu yesterday. On June IA she
spoke the bark Rufus E. Wood in lati-
tude IA degrees 3S minutes north, longi-
tude 137 degrees 80 minutes west. The
Wood is now out nfnetysiX days from
Sydney. n. S. w, for San Francisco, and
her owners are glad to hear from her
The transport Zealandia will probably
get away to-day with four companies of
the Twenty-fourth Infantry and $50 re-
cruits. The Conemaugh, which returned
from Manila last Tuesday is to go back
with some of the horses of the Fourth
Cavalry.
William Turman, a carpenter. died in
the Harbor Hospital yesterday morning
He was employed on Goat Island and had
a series of epileptic fits. He was hurried
soon after being admitted to the hospital.
His widow lives in Salinas.

MRS, STERETT
RECEIVERS HER
LOST JEWELRY
MysteriousIy Stolen
From Her Home.

The jewelry and silverware, valued at
about $1,000, which were supposed to have
been stolen from the residence of Mrs.
Emma Sterett, who figured as one of the
claimants to the estate of Gustav Wal
ter. deceased, have been recovered by
Detective Harper. They were traced to a
pawnshop at 1912 Stockton street where
they had been sold for about one-fifth their
value The supposed burglary occurred
in August, 1898 Mrs. Sterett had been
visiting a friend, and on her return she
was amazed to find that her jewelry and
silverware had been taken during her alb
sence. She at once notified the police, and
Detective Harper was detailed to find the
stolen property After a short investiga-
ton he became convinced that the house
had not been entered but that the jewelry
and siverware had been taken by one of
the family.
By close inquiry the detective soon
learned that the property had been
pawned to Aaron and Leo Heringhi, who
then conducted a loan Office at 1912 Stock
ton street Harper told them that the
jewelry was the property of Mrs. Sterett,
and warned them not to dispose of it
A few days later Mrs Sterett visited the
pawnshop and after identifying her jew
elry promised to return and redeem 1t.
On May 2 last Leo Heringhi, who has
since purchased his brothers interest in
the pawnshop, sent Mrs Sterett a writ
ten notice, informing her that unless she
redeemed the property, it would be sold
a public auction. Not hearing from her
and concluding that she did not want
the jewelry. he sold it on May II at a
general sale of unredeemed pledges
On learning, that her property had been
disposed of Mrs. Sterett became indig-
nant, and at once hunted up Detective
Harper, to whom she told the story of
how the pawnbroker had sold her Jew
elry: Harper lost no time in visiting
Heringhf's place of business and pro-
explained that the articles had been in
pawn since the commission of the al
legged burglary, and that as no attempt
had been made to redeem them he was
the highest bidder. He readily gave the
names of the persons who had bought the
stuff, and, with the exception of dia-
mond collar button the detective has
recovered all the stolen property. The
collar, button was purchased by man
'@i Yesterday e day. Mrs s' otf sterett Visited the
pawnshop and anxiously inquired about
the diamond collar button, which she
unless the article is promptly returned 10
commence suit against the pawnbroker
for its recovery.
Heringhi when seen last night said
that his brother had taken the jewelry in
pawn. He did not know that it was stolen
property. as he was given to understand
by the person who soaked" it that it
belonged to a friend who was in need.
He declared that after learning that the
jewery was the property of Mrs. Sterett
he communicated with her, advising her
to redeem it or suffer having it sold at
pubic auction. AS she ignored the notice
he sold the stuff along with number of
other articles at auction.

many ways, in hospital work, in pri-
vate practice, among the helpless too

so successful in every case that spe-
cial arrangement has been made by
which all readers of the San Francisco
Daily Call who have not already tried

DEMOCRATIC CLUB MEETING.
The FortyThird Assembly District
Club Favors Consolidation.

The regular Democratic Club of the
Fortythird Assembly District held a
largely attended meeting last night in
California Hall on Bush street. near
Powell. It was the sense of the meet
ing that it would be for the best inter-
ests of the party to affiliate with another
club which has been organized in the
same district. and though no definite ac-
ton was taken it is understood that con-
sOlidation will be finally accomplished
George II. Cabaniss. president of the
Iroquois Club. was introduced as the first
speaker of the evening by Chairman P
H. Mccarthy. Mr.. Cabaniss urged con-
solidation, where there are one or more
Democratic clubs in district, as the
only means of bringing about reforms in
municipal government, and his remarks
were received with great applause.
Resolutions favoring the candidacy of
James d. Phelan for the mayoralty at the
next election were introduced by Hull Nc
Claughry and adopted without dissent
ing voice.
J. ". Shanahan. secretary of the club,
addressed the meeting on the subject of
public utilities, such as water and light
which he urged should be under the alb
solute control of the municipal govern
ment.
j. ]. Fagin and Oscar Putnam also
made brief speeches, in which they made
a strong plea for organization.

TRIAL OF o. M. WELBURN.
Government Closed It's Case Yester-
day and the Defense Will
Be Taken Up.

The Government closed it's case in the
Welburn trial yesterday and the case for
the defense will be opened by Attorneys
McNab and Gould at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
W. H. Dillard the coIored clerk was
on the stand yesterday and admitted that
he signed Welburn's name to reports, etc,
by order of Mr.. Welburn. He said that
he had also signed the name of E. c.
Atkins to checks on Welburn's order He
knew that he was doing wrong at the
time but he wanted to hold his position,
and he could do that only by obeying the
orders of his superior.
w. l.. Zoller. formerly a clerk under
Welburn, testified that his salary was at
the rate of $1,000 per year. The vouchers
were made for larger amounts. He could
not tell what those amounts were, be-
cause he hypothecated his salary every
month. George E. Dabovich gave similar
testimony as to his salary.
A misapprehension exists as to the tes-
timony of Agent Thomas on Tuesday with
reference to his breaking open q desk in
Welburns office 1t was not Welburn'
desk, but Louoe's, and the letters that
would not bear the light of day We're
Loupe's, not Welburn's, as stated.
