TIMELY SHEER
SAVES 4 SHIP
Steamer Horda Nearly
Crashes Through
a Vessel.
Narrow Escape Of the Tori
don When Off the
Columbia.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


ASTORIA, Or, Nov. 1.-THE British
ship Torridon. which arrived Off the river
several days ago, had an almost niracu-
lous escape from destruction last night,
when the Norwegian steamship Horda
narrowly missed cutting the Britisher in
twain.
The Horda was on her way down from
the Sound and arrived off the heads about
10 O'Clock. The weather was very thick
at the time. Suddenly the lights of a
vessel were seen. but Captain Stevenson
Of the Horda, thinking the vessel ahead
was the pilot schooner, continued on his
course. expecting the schooner would
stand under his lee and acquaint him with
his exact surroundings.
The lights rapidly came nearer and the
two vessels were almost together, when
the unknown ship flashed the danger sig
nails. At once the big steamships en-
gineS were reversed and the vessel
sheered off her course. She passed within
a few feet of the Torridon, which had
been hugging the shore. Had the Horda
continued on her course for another min
ute she would certainly have cut the Tor
ridon in two.
The transport Rosecrans sailed to-day
for Manila. carrying 500 soldiers, who will
join the army in the Philippines. The
usual hearty farewell greeting was ac-
corded the departing soldiers by the thou
sands who lined the docks. One of the
men, a private named John Haines, from
Fort Wright, Wash, was taken ashore
and sent to hospital for treatment

RUMoRs OF MAYoR-ELEcT's
DEATH CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Wild rumors were circulated last night
around town to the effect that Mayor
elect Eugene E. Schmitz had been acct
dentally killed during the afternoon at
Lathrop. Another rumor had it that the
accident occurred near Livermore. Infor-
nation direct from the place where Mr..
Schmitz is sojournins near Watsonville
showed that the Mayor-elect had not
been injured and Was enjoying the best
of health.
He spent yesterday at the home of some
relatives near Watsonville. and had not
been in either of the towns where his
death was reported to nave occurred. Mrs.
Drscoll, mother-in-lew of Mr. Schmitz.
stated last night that she had seen Mr..
Schmitz at noon and that he was then in
the best of health.
The rumor was in all probability start
ed by some one who was under the inf1u-
ence of liquor and unconscious of his
acts, or else by some one so malicious
that he took that means of venting per-
sonal spite. The runlor for time caused
great worry to Mr.. Sohmitz's friends in
this city. Had any accident occurred Mr..
Schmitz's relatives in this city would
have been notified, and the fact that they
have received no word stamps the rumors
as groundless.

man IN charge Of the car and the extent
OF the damage done had not been aScer-
talned by the police up to a late hour.
AS soon as the track was cleared the

MUD SPOUTS

Searchers for Oil Over
whelmed by the Vol

Column Of Sand, Gravel and
Steam Still Rises From
Desert.
Special Dispatch to The Cali

INDIO, Cal, Nov 1.-THE sensational
volcanic well of Volcano Springs con-
tinues to throw up mud. sand and gravel,
but a gradual cessation is going on. This
morning the spouting column was about
thirty feet high, where at hrst conser-
Vative estimate gave the height at ninety
feet. At o'clock this evening diSpatch
from there says that 1t has been checked
considerably during the day, owing most
likely to a caving beneath the cased por-
ton of the well.
A short time ago the Volcano Springs
Oil Company had the well bored while
prospecting for oil of which there are
surface indications. The rig was in charge
of Waring, an expert driller. AT a depth
of 800 feet a strong flow of hot salt water
was encountered This was caSed on
without much trouble and drilling was
resumed
At 4SO feet a 5et Of live steam came up
through the hollow drill rod on the upper
end of which there is a length OF hose.
So stro-G was this steam pressure that
il required three men to control the hose
while uncoUpling 1T. No sooner had that
been done than a large quantity OF mud,
sand, gravel the size Of walnuts, and hot
water came upon the men where the pent-
face.
This was at once followed by an erup-
ton of mud and hot water. There was
no opportunity to dfscOnnect all the gear
and much of 1t was damaged 1t was
weird, uncanny sight, that black column
of mud, interrupted at intervals by bodies
Of steam and gases, which when they
came to the surface sounded very much
like the exhaust Of a heavily loaded To-
connective. The extraordinary mud geyser
is in a level, desolate section and can be
seen for miles.

STEADY GROWTH OF RURAL
FREE-DELIVERY SYSTEM
Civil Service May Be Extended to
That Branch of the Govern

WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-Superintend-
en-. A w. Machen of the free delivery
system of the Postoffice Department has
been in conference with the members Of
Civil Service Commission in relation to a
proposition to transfer the rural free de-
livery branch of the PoStOffice Depart
ment work to the classified service. This
system gradually has grown from small
beginning to large proportions within the
past few years and as 1t was not included
in the classified service at the beginning
of it's existence, appointments in that SER
vice have been made without regard to
the requirements of the civil service law.
There are now between 5000 and 1000 per-
sons employed in this work, which ex-
tends all over the United States and not
only the members of the commission but
the officials of the Postoffice Department
itself have come to the conclusion that
the service should be embraced in the
classified service.
superintendent Machen went over the
ground thoroughly with the commission,
ard while no positive conclusion was
reached, it was stated by both parties
to the conference that the present pros
pect for the extension of the civil service
rules to the rural free delivery is good
and 1T is quite certain that the extension
will be made. Some difficulty has been
experienced in determining what exam
ination the rural carriers should be sub
jected to, and it is understood that an
arrangement has been reached whereby
separate examination will be arranged
for them.

FRUGAL FLYNN
FINDS FRIENDS
Aged Wanderers Past Is
Uncovered to Police
Guardians.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111Q Rr.n, "a


With nearly $4,000 to his credit in saw
ings banks of San Francisco aged Peter
Flynn, the mysterious wanderer, was a
popular guest to-day at the City Prison,
where he has been cared for since the
police found him yesterday aimlessly
meandering about the streets. A score of
people called to identify the old man, and
out of the many visitors came scraps of
his past history that partially solved the
mystery that had surrounded the decrepit
old pioneer, for such he proved to be.
1t was thirty years ago when railroad
ing was young in the West that Peter
Flynn, a hearty, healthy man of 40 odd,
established a hotel at Flynns Station,
near Winnemucca, New, where he played
host with such success that he accumut
lated quite pile of gold. He was care
full and provident, sending his savings to
San Francisco, where they grew into a
neat nestegg. After a while the hotel life
Wearied him, and Flynn came to San
Francisco with competency sufficient to
keep him during the remainder of his
days.
Flynn had few relatives and with them
he had little if any intercourse Publicity
given to his detention here disclosed the
fact that Mrs. Honora Graham, residing
at 1923 Sutter street, San Francisco, is
numerous visitors at the jail to-day. She
said her cousin had hitherto declined to
have anything to do with her.
1T isn't his money 1 want" she de-
l.
take care of him in his old age. He needs
some one to look out for him.
The police agreed with Mrs. Graham
but they decided not to release their aged
ward until his condition had improved
He is in an enfeebled state mentally but
since yesterday had frightened consider
ably.
officers from the German Savings and
Loan Society inspected Flynn's books to-
day and found that he had more than
$4,000 to his credit. He lived SO frugally
that since last April he had drawn only
$135, and of this amount a portion had
been sent to Nellie Flynn of Charlestown
Mass, another cousin.
The old man had occupied room at
w. P. Whitmore's, 565 Eleventh street, for
a day or two. Here he kept his few per-
sonal belongings, valise full of odds and
ends of clothing. With this he had been
for years drifting from place to place, as
his fancy suited him.
Captain of Police Wilson, under direc-
ton of Chief of Police Hodgkins has
taken temporary charge of the old man
He will probably be persuaded to become
an inmate of some institution where
proper attention can be given him.

Arizona Mourns Passing
Of the Territorial
Flower.
Irrigation Of Lands Promises
the Saguara's De-
struction.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. H.-Tne placing
of water on the arid wastes of Arizona
lands and the consequent evolution from
desert to garden is driving to extinction
one of the strangest plants in all the
world.
At recent session of the Territorial
Legislature the cereus giganteus, the
giant cactus, better known as the sa-
guara, peculiar to the soil of this Terri
tory, was made the official flower of Ari-
.Zona. Not many years will elapSe until a
new choice will be made necessary.
When the first Franciscan fathers jour
neyed north from Mexico they took back
a report of the great cacti, sixty feet
long, which covered the plains of the new
country, and told marvellous tales of the
food value of the new plant, of the In
dian tribes who subSis:ed on the fruit OF
the saguara and of The wonderful bene-
fits in the liquor from its sap. AS far as
the eye could reach stretched veritable
forests of these great sentinels OF the
desert.
Now, as the science of the American
has reclaimed foot By foot the miles of
the former desert ard the magic water
has made orange, peach and apricot or
chards and great fields of alfalfa, the sa-
guara has fallen, and only in spots where
. water cannot be placed can the odd plant
be found.

a hot street fight this afternoon between
w. p. Magrane, a prominent Kentucky
horseman, who has a string of horses at
Emeryville, and his bIother, ]. G. Ma
Crane, a Well-knoWIl bookmaker, who
''cut in" at the track this season.
The battle occurred at the corner OF
Twelfth and Clay streets, opposite the
Young Mems Christian Assocfat ton build
ing and the First Congregational Church.
The fight was at its best just as Police
man Mackey, riding - the Jail in the pa
troll wagon, hove in sight. The spectacle
of two well dressed men sending straight
lefts, uppercuts and swings at each other
with very evident harmful intent caused
the patrolman to halt N his journey, turn
the "black maria into the curbing and
quickly Jump between the quarreling pair
The Magranes were induced to cease
fighting, and the policeman managed to
pull them out of hard clnch, land the
pair in the wagon and resume his journey
TO the calabooSe, where the two were
charged with battery. As they stood in
the reception-room for prisoners Book
the encounter. A big lump on the back
of his head evidenced where he had hit
the hard stone sidewalk after one of his
brothers heavy leads.
'If / had had a pistol / would have
killed you said BoOkmaker Magrane to
Horseman Magrane during the ride to the
City Hail. But further violent demon
stration was checked by a warning from
the policeman.
Both men had been drinking consider
ably. and their quarrel is supposed to
have resulted largely from this. They
refused to talk about the fight, and after
depositing SIS bail each were released,
with orders to appear N court tomorrow
morning The police are satisfied the
quarrel will have been settled before that
time.
Horseman Magranc is the owner of
