Have a Perilous Voyage
From Hull to Puget Sound
FIERCE STORMS RAGE
Two Men Are Lost, but Dur
ing All Danger WOman's
Bravery Inspires Sailors
Special Dispatch to IN. Call.

TACOMA, April 1.-THE courage and
loyalty of his youthful and beautiful
bride were important factors in aiding
Captain Sautrel to save the French
bark Marguerite Dollfus on her stormy
voyage of sos days from Hull to Puget
Sound. The captain was welded a few
days before his vessel sailed from
Havre. He loaded at Hull and Dun
kirk, sailing for Puget Sound with pig
iron and cement. In August while in
the mid-Atlantic a, fearful hurricane
ragged for many days. Terrific blasts
tore out most Of the bark's upper rig
ging.
one fateful afternoon the first mate
was washed overheard from the main
yard The vessel was brought to in an
almost suicidal effort to save him. Life
buoys were cast overheard and five
men stood ready TO. man a boat. The
sea was boiling, while the ship was go
ing along so fast that the mate was far
astern when the buoys were cast out.
To stay hove to meant laundering, and
the ship went on with the wind. For
days the deck was kept under four feet
Of water, and it seemed as if the YES
sci would be beaten to pieces. A sailor
fell from the fore topgaIlant yard and
was instantly killed. Several Of the
crew became sick.
Then ii wa6 that Mrs. Sautrel learned
what it meant TO be a sailors bride.
She remained by her husbands side
day and night offering words of en-
couragement and cheer. They made
Rio de Janeiro, where the ship was re-
paired and the sick sailors exchanged
for well ones. Severe storms were en-
countered at Cape Horn. Food became
reduced to meat and biscuit and scurvy
broke out.

BELIEVE THEY
HOLD FOOTPAD
Jack Black, Arrested Last
Friday Evening, Is Identi-
fed in the City Prison
ENGAGED IN GUN FIGHT
Frank Campbell States He
Pursued Suspect Several
Blocks on That Occasion

The suspicion entertained by De-
tectives Bunner and Freel that Jack
Black, alias Tom Callahan. ex-convict
was implicated in the recent holdups
in the Mission was verified yesterday
Black was arrested on Eddy street last
Friday night, after a desperate fight
with the capturing officers.
Yesterday afternoon Frank Campbell.
a teamster living at 1917 Fair Oaks
street, called at the City Prison with
detectives and identified Black as one
of the two men who had a running re-
volver fight with Policemen Skelly and
Walsh on the night of April 10 in the
neighborhood of Twenty third and Do
lores streets.
Campbell said he saw Black running
out of a lot on Alden alley, between
Dolores and Fair Oaks streets and
Twenty second and Twenty third
streets Campbell asked Black what
was the trouble and Black replied that
he had just run out himself to see what
was the matter. Campbell retorted:
We'll, you're going the wrong way"
Black ran down Twenty-second street,
toward Valencia, and Campbell, whose
suspicious had been aroused, ran after
him
When Black reached San Jose ave-
nue. he wheeled and said to Campbell:
IF you don't quit following me I'll
shoot you. Inen ne ran dlOng Sdn
Jose avenue to Twentythird street,
Campbell still in pursuit. Black doubled
on his tracks until he reached Twenty
second and Mission streets, where he
jumped upon a passing car. Campbell
says he told several men he met dur
ing his pursuit of Black that he sus-
pected Black was footpad.
Another fact that confirms the sus-
picions against Black is the finding Of
a cartridge on Fair Oaks street. Black,
during his fight, ran along Fair Oaks
street, and it is believed that he
dropped the cartridge while reloading
his revolver. The cartridge bears the
name Peters and those found on
Black when arrested bear the same
name. The officers say they have never
known of any cartridges of that brand.

WAR EXPECTED
BY POLITICIANS
Policy of Friends of Judge
Parker, 1t Is Claimed, Will
Precipitate Battle Royal
TAMMANY TO THE FORE
Predicted That Orators of
Organization VIII Accuse
Hill of Being a Wrecker

ALBANY, April 17.-If the policy
adopted by the friends Of Judge Alton
B. Parker, at whose head stands for
mer Senator David B. Hill, is carried
out at the sessions of the Democratic
state convention tomorrow, there Is
likely to be precipitated upon the floor
of the convention battle royal which
has not had a parallel in State political
conventions for many years. Since the
Saratoga convention Of 1900, when Gen
eral Charles n. Bulger of OSwego, rep
resenting Senator Hill, putting his
finger almost under the nose of Rich
ard Croker, denounced Tammany Han
and its politics. Tammany has waited
as an organization to present its com
pliments to Hill, and although 1t is
perfectly apparent tonight that the
interests dominated by Hill control
large majority of the conventions s vote,
it is a foregone conclusion that such
orators as Bourke Cochran, Thomas r.
Grady, Charles A. Towne and Victor
Dowling will on the floor of the con-
vention personally accuse Hill OF at
tempting to wreck the party.
There was some discussion tonight
as to the platform to be adopted. II
is said to have been Senator Hin $
idea that the platform should deal ex-
tensively with State and national IS
sues. but William F. Sheehan, speaking,
self, has won tonight probably con-
cession so that the platform adopted
tomorrow will be very brief, dealing
not in any minute particulars, but gen
orally with the failures of the Repub-
lican party. 1t is understood that 1t
will assert that since the death OF
President Mckinley the party in power
has practically run riot, has failed in
its promise to carry out Mckinley
policies, has catered to the corporations
and trusts and has demoralized the
public service. II will not in any way
allude to the monetary system, nor
will it indorse any particular platform
heretofore adopted by Democratic con-
ventions. In a word, ii is intended to
relieve Judge Parker if the convention
instructs for him until such time as
the national platform is adopted.
1t is understood that the delegates
at large to the national convention will
be former Senators David b. Hill OF
Albany and Edward Murphy of Troy;
August Belmont of New York and
James w Ridgeway Of Brooklyn.
The convention will be called to or
der by Chairman Frank Campbell of
the State committee at 2 p. m. and af-
ter routine matters are settled it VIII
be adjourned until s p. m, when Sena-
tor Raines will be permanent chairman.
The battle on the floor of the conven-
ton will take place at the evening ses-
, sion.

BURSTING OF GAS MAIN
IMPERILS MANY LIVES
Residents of Mount Vernon and Pei
ham Driven From Their Homes
by Poisonous Fumes.

MOUNT VERNON, n. Y. April H.
The bursting of a large gas main to-
night has placed this city and Pelham
in great peril. The accident befell the
Winchester Lighting Company. which
furnishes gas to these places, as a re-
suit of which the gas went out for a
time and then started up again, pouring
out its poisonous fumes in homes when
nine-tenths of the residents were asleep.
Police and firemen were hurriedly sum
moned and they made a rapid house
to house canvass, notifying the house
holders of their danger Bells were
rung and whistles shrieked to spread
the alarm. Telephones were called in
TO requisition, but the greatest danger
is TO those who live in outlying dis
tricts, which it has been impossible to
reach.
Mount Vernon is a city governing a
dozen square miles, with a population
OF $4,000 and great anxiety is eXper-
fenced as to whether fatal results will
be avoided by the urgent methods
adopted to arouse the inhabitants.
