DR. Allen who had been the bearer Of
the sad tidings to the bereaved mother

last night but had little to add TO the
account of the disaster given by Mr..
Hadenfeldt.

TWO GOOD SAMARITANS.
They Missed Thei+ 2Nat to Render
Assistance - & Lady,

At least two good SGIlaritans live in
this city. even if the necessity of rushing
to catch the Oakland boat has steeling
effect on the heart. The wife of a we'll
known merchant had an experience Sat
urday that satisfied her on this point, al
though ii was necessary for her to take
a painful fall before the impression was
fixed in her mind.
With her two daughters she had ridden
down Market street to the ferry turn
table. intending to take boat for San
Rafael. In stepping off the car she STUN
bled and fell forward on her face to the
ground. Two gentlemen. hurrying to
catch the narrow gauge which was due
to leave in a few minutes for Oakland,
stopped to render her assistance. She
was lifted up bruised and bleeding from
wounds on her face. and the Samaritans,
thinking she was more seriously injured
that was afterward found out. remained
with her. The lady recovered sufficiently
to thank them and to express her sorrow
that her mishap had caused them the in
convenience of losing their boat, which
had Just left the dock.
oh, never mind the boat, madam, said
one. I'VE are glad TO have been of ser
vice to you"
Then they both bowed and left.

NIX A. GRIMM.

Mike, which. under the command of
e. S. Emmons, had come to the relief.
A line was thrown from the yacht to
the capsized boat, and in a few
moments Allen and Hadenfeldt were
drawn on board, thoroughly exhausted
by their twenty minutes battle with
the icy waters.
On being taken aboard the Mike
the two were disrobed by their rescu-
ers, wrapped in warm blankets and
stimulated with cOpious draughts of
liquor. On reaching Tiburon dry cloth
ing was procured for them and they left
for this city.
The story Of the accident as told by
Mr. Hadenfeldt is dramatic, though he
modestly omitted the details of his eff
forts to save his friend Of years, Her
bert c. Edwards. I'VE We're rounding
the point of the peninsula" said Mr.
Hadenfedt, when, without a seconds
warning, we ran into the tide rip The
waves were running mast high, it
seemed to me. not bows on or sideways
but from behind. The first wave that
followed broke over the stern of our lit
tie vessel and we shipped considera BILE

ger of our position and rapidly began

and then a third wave broke over the
stern OF our boat; we were thrown to
the gunwale in a heap, and the boat

but as / turned TO swim toward the cap

the water some yards off. Swimming

A Double Public Benefit to Be Won
by Extending the Panhandle.
Seeking Ways and Means to Maintain Systematic
Advocacy Of the Wisdom Of the Proposed
Bonding Of the City.

The advocates of the proposed ex-
tension insist. with reason, that the
work of transforming a little city into
great park will give work for years
to thousands of artisans, will give a
healthy impulse to trade and legiti-
mate profit to tradesmen and will in
Vite investors, settlers and desirable
people to the city. Through the
elimination of a large residence dis
trict in the city other districts will of
necessity b. improved and settled.
The outside districts will be the only
practical sharers OF this benefit, as
they will have to be sought when there
is not room anywhere else.
The outside districts will therefore
derive double benefit from the bond
ing of the city Under the proposed
new law, by which the municipality
viii be bonded, generous provision will
be made for public utilities and i'm
provements in the outside districts
New and costly buildings will be
erected, and general attention will be
drawn to the fortunate districts
There will be in consequence an added
reason why property owners in the
panhandle extension district will wish
to settle in the outside districts.
These are some of the reasons why
the leaders of the Improvement clubs
are. planning a systematic campaign in
advocacy of the proposed bonding of
the city. These men are peculiarly
fitted to understand and obey the wis
dom of providing for the future well
fare of the city. They are practical
pioneers in the districts in which they
reside They bought their homes and
settled their families in the outside
districts, with an absolute faith that
the city, in the natural course of
events. must expand They can see,
therefore, that sooner or later the pan
handle of Golden Gate Park will be
extended. The panhandle as it exists
now and New Montgomery street are
two standing examples of official mis-
takes. made in an endeaVOr to COM
promise what ought to be done with
what conditions insist must be done.
The original purpose of the creators
of Golden Gate Park was to construct
the panhandle even farther than Van
Ness avenue into the heart of the city.
The erection of the City Hall pre-
vents the realization of the original
design in it's completeness, but either
now or later the panhandle of Golden
Gate Park will begin at Van Ness ave-
nue. 1t will be cheaper to do the work
now than later.

He sank. almost Immediately. When
Hadenfeldt caught hold the gunwale
was sunk under water, and when we
caught at the keel that went under too,
so that the boat rolled like a log in the
water. But presently. Hadenfeldt got
around to the other side, thus balancing
her, and there we chung until the
Mike rescued us. They drew me aboard
easily enough, but it took six men to
get Hadenfeldt, who weighs over two
hundred, out of the water"
Frank A. Grimm, who was "a years
Of age, was the son of a prominent
vineyardist in the Napa Valley, and a
brother of Matt Grimm of Leidesdorft
street. He was associated with the
firms Of Dunham, Carrigan & Co. and
was widely esteemed in business cir
cles. A prominent member of the
Olympic Club. he had acquired an en-
Viable reputation. as an athlete, at
one time holding the light weight
wrestling championship of the club.
He had also been member of the
Olympic Club crew but latterly he had
devoted his leisure to yachting, being
a member of the Corinthian Club.
Herbert G. Edwards was the son of
the late j. c. Edwards of the State
Board Of Equalization. He was %
years of age and had spent the greater
part of his life in this city He COM
pleted his education by a course at the
Hastings College of the Law, and was
later associated with his father in the
conduct of the Coast Review" which
he has managed since his parents
death Like Grimm he was a promi-
nent member of the Olympic Club. He
had proved himself a doughty COM
petitor in the clubs billiard tourna-
ments, and he was conspicuous in the
runs Of the Olympic Wheelmen.
The San Francisco call., 1899-05-08

"HE advocacy of the extension of
the Panhandle of Golden Gate
Park to Van Ness avenue is re-
l. ceiving with each day a more
general popular approval. Many
of the leaders of some Of the local i'm
provement clubs have already begun to
discuss some systematic campaign to
demonstrate . the voters of the city
the wisdom of permitting the proposed
extension under municipal authority.
These champions of the change. which
will give to San Francisco one of the
greatest, if not the greatest park in the
world, are alive to the fact that popular
enthusiasm must be sustained. They
are confident of the support Of practi
cally every influential element il the
comr- unity. merchants and mechanics,
men who will reap an immediate as
well as a permanent benefit from the
projected Improvement.
An argument is we'll made that San
Francisco will enjoy at least three
years of unexampled prosperity If the
panhandle is extended. When the Mid
winter Fair was projected citizens of
all classes worked in harmony and with
energy to make the projected exposition
a success. It was shown that business
men and workingmen would be sharers
in a benefit common to both. Thou
sands of men found employment in the
building of the fair. An enormous
amount of money was set legitimately
in circulation Prosperity dispelled the
well-founded fear of a spell of depres
sion.
The people or ''e ci4-- had won for
themselves something that would not
have come without agitation and per
sistent encouragement. The building
of the Midwinter Fair is taken there
fore as an example by the leaders of
the Improvement clubs. They propose
to work now for permanent improve
ment to the city and win at the same
time for its people a greater immediate
reward than was secured through the
Midwinter Fair.
The only lasting benefit derived from
the Midwinter Fair was the reclama-
ton of a comparatively small part OF
Golden Gate Park. The extension of
the panhandle will give to the city a
new and great park extending into the
very heart of the city giving to thou
sands of men, women and children op-
portunity for daily health seekino and
recreation and remaining as long as
the CITY remains, to be an adornment,
practical benee- and a pride to the
State as we'll as San Francisco.

Drowned.

~ OoD-BY, boys, I can't hold
With this despairing cry,
sA Herbert q. Edwards sank
beneath the waves Of Richardson's Bay
Yesterday afternoon. and was seen no
more until. as the shades of night
were falling. the searchers drew his
lifeless body from the icy waters.
Those who heard were DR.. II. q.
Allen and Herman d. Hadenfeldt.
They were clinging to the keel Of a
capsized yawl. one Of the quartet,
Frank A. Grimm. who had set out in
her that afternoon. sank soon after the
accident. Now Edwards was gone
while help was already in sight. In a
few minutes the yacht Mike swept
down upon the scene and rescued the
two nearly exhausted survivors.
The party had pulled over from
Relvedere to Tiburon early IN the
afternoon to inspect the yacht Twt-
light. with a view to hiring her for the
season. Their inspection completed,
they had returned on the La Paloma
To Tiburon. and were on their way
home in a yawl to their ark in Belve-
dere. when the accident took place.
They had reached the tide rip near
Tiburon Point, and encountered very
sloppy. sea. The waves ran high and
they shipped quite a little water, but
managed to keep the boats head
straight.
Suddenly an unusually heavy sea
swept over them from the stern. The
rowers hastily started to bail out their
fraH craft, but a second sea followed,
and then a third. This completely
swamped them, and then the boat
rolled and threw them all into the sea.
Grimm. according TO the account Of
the survivors, must have been injured
by being struck by the boat, for he
seemed unable to swim, and soon sank
out Of sight. Allen managed to grasp
the gunWale and hung on there, while
Hadenfeldt. who is a splendid swim
mer. struck out for Edwards. who was
some yards away. The poor young
fellow sank. however, before he could
be reached. and Hadenfeldt went back
10 the capsized yawl to cling on until
help should come.
A rowb0at had put out from
Tiburon. manned by two Oarsmen, but
they could make no headway against
the heavy sea. and eventually they
themselves were rescued by the yacht
