Benefits Story.
Charles G. Bennett Of 2771 Twenty
fourth street, san Francisco. pas.
senger, remained on board the Clallam
until she sank and witnessed all lae
principal scenes, both before she foun-
dered and sank and Immediately af-
ter, when the last life raft was launch
ed. Bennett had not recovered from
the effects Of the exposure and scenes
incident to the wreck when he arriv-
ed on the Dirigo and seemed to be in
a half dazed condition. He collected
his thoughts, however, suniciently to
recall what was probably one of the
most thrilling and pathetic incidents
of the wreck. This was the action of
a man unknown to Bennett. who, after
his wife and two children were drown
ed before his eyes, became frantic anu
plunged headlong into the sea. He
was undoubtedly lost as neither Ben
nett nor any of the crew saw him come
to the surface and no life boats were
near him at the time.

Alarm of Fire.

Shortly after eight o'clock last Satur-
day night some gasoline in an out
building in rear of Mr.. Sylvester
Deans store, corner of Lee and GibbOn
streets, became ignited and blazing up
caused considerable CONSERVATION before
the can was placed in the street. An
alarm of fire was sounded, but by the
time the apparatus reached the scene the
danger was over, The damage was
slight. While on the way to the fire
collision between the Reliance fire en-
CINE and an electric car, at the corner OF
King and Patrick streets, was narrowly
averted. The car was returning from
Washington, and neither the motorman
nor the driver Of the engine was aware
of the close proximity of the other until
they approached the corner.

A Hot Sunday.

The hot weather of Saturday was fol-
lowed by rain, thunder and lightning at
night. The temperature became more
pleasant, but by yesterday morning con-
ditions were as sultry as ever. AS the
day advanced the weather became more
oppressive, the air being burdened
with humidity, and the breeze which
prevailed was from the south and was
by no means refreshing. In the after
noon there were signs in the north OF
an approaching rain, but the cloud
emptied itself north of this city, the
thunder being heard here. AT the close
of the day clouds reappeared in the same
quarter and delightful northern breeze
lowered the temperature somewhat, and
bv the time the congregations in the
churches were being dismissed a storm
broke over the city. The wind was
high and there was considerable thunder
and lightning. There was but little
animation in the streets during the day
on account of the sultriness Of the
weather, and the churches had meagrt
congregations at both the morning an(
night services.

Shooting ARRAY.

A shooting ARRAY occurred about hall
mast ten o'clock last night on Wolfe
street between Alfred aud Patrick, as a
result of which Arthur Morse, colored,
was shot through both arms by Albert
Walker, also colored. A woman, sister
of the wounded man, figured in the
ARRAY. Officers Young and Henderson
shortly after the occurrence saw Morse
on an electric car accompanied by some
colored men and attracting considerable
attention. They proceeded to make an
investigation and ascertained the facts
in connection with the shooting, and
learned that Morse, after having been
shot. had gone to the Alexandria Hos
pital, but on account of sickness among
the attaches of that institution he was
provided with money by the matron 10
pay his way to Washington where he
could receive attention. The officers
took him of the car and conducted him
10 the station house and later accom-
panied him to the Office of several ply.
sicians, neither of whom, however, could
render him assistance. Morse was final
ly taken to Dr. Rittenour, who extracted
a bullet from the right arm above the
elbow. and another from the left arm
below the elbow. One OF the balls had
grazed Morse's side and made abrasions.
The officers then went to the house
where the shooting occurredand searched
for Walker, but his whereabouts could
not be ascertained, and Officers AIRING
ton and Nicholson, who later went on
duty, were directed to watch the house.
Between 8 and O'Clock this morning
Walker returned to the house, which he
entered and after packing his effects
emerged with them, when he was taken
in custody. Walker was placed in the
dock in the Police Court room this
morning when the facts in the case were
brought out. 1t seems that Walker has
been keeping company with Morse S
sister for some time, and last night she
returned home in company with another
woman and a man. This angered
Walker and he assaulted the woman.
Her brother went to her rescue and
finally elected Walker from the house.
The latter upon reaching the pavement
raised the sash of the window and fired
three shots from pistol at Morse, two
OF which entered his arms. Justice
Cation sent Walker on to the grand jury.
