The Spreckels tug Relief Is making the runs between this city and Vallejo while the steamer H. J. Corcoran is laid up. The Corcoran Is the most' handsomely appointed river steamer ply- iig in these waters, and when the improve- ments now making are finished the will be more like a yacht than ever. She is the speed- iest boat of her kind here, and from her awn- ing covered observation deck hundreds of East- ern visitors have this aummer learned of the Relief Takes Corcoran's Place. The names of four vessels were added yes- terday to the overdue list: The British ship Earnmownt. out 130 flays from this port: for Liverpool; Norwegian bark Remonstrant, out 102 days from Geelong for Algoa Bay;" Italian ship Marie, out 121 days from Tacoma for Ade- laide, and the British ship John Cooke. out 154 days from Sydney for Rotterdam. They are all quoted at 10 per cent. The rate on the Pionler remains at 35 per cent. Four More Overdues. The British ehip Lindfleld, which arrived yesterday lrom Newcastle. Australia, encoun- tered light winds from the time she left the Antipodes until almost within sight of the California coast. A heavy gale from tho west northwest was howling through the Lindfield's shrouds at daybreak July 2U and the disturb- ance continued until the cun went down on July SI. During the storm the cargo shifted a little to starboard and the Lindfleld waa listed a little to that side when she came Into port. She brought 3500 tons of ccal. In spite of the light winds the Llndneld came from Newcastle In SO days. Cargo Shifts During Storm. Texas Cowboy in Troujjlc. G. Guitard, a hack driver, reported to Policeman Slattery early yesterday morning: that while he was trying to collect a fare from Frank Phair. a cowboy from Texas, at the ferry the cov.boy pulled a loaded revolver out of his pocket and struck Guitard on the head with it. Policeman Slattery arrested Phair as he was comins out of a saloon on Commercial street. When searched Phair had a loaded revolver in his pocket. Phair waa booked at the City Prison on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.

The mystery of the floating pine lumber through which the French ship Duchesse do Berry passed has been solved. It was part of the deckload of the schooner Maria E. Smith, hound from Port Ludlow for Guayaquil. The Smith put Into Mazatlan yesterday with main and mtzzen masts gone, her hull water-logged and no deckload. She encountered the hurri- cane through which the Duchesse . de Berry passed. The Duchesse weathered the storm in good shape, but the Smith emerged from the conflict much the woree for wear and floating only by the grace of her buoyant cargo. The schooner, which Is a vessel of 347 tons register and Is managed by George E. Billings of this city, may be condemned. She was built in 1681 at Port Blakeley. The Maria E. Smith in Trouble. The steam echooner Cella on Wednesday evening saved seven members of the crew of the French ship Duche3se de Berry from drift- ing to 6ea in a water-logged ship's boat. The French tailormen had started to row ashore in a boat the seams of which the sun's rays had robbed of calking. There was a strong tide running and when the boat began to leak the water poured in faster than all hands could bail it out. Rowing was out of the question and there was no sail in the boat, so the eeven sailors just bailed and balled, while the tide swept the leaking craft seaward. When the Celia. intervened the water In the ship's boat was within a few Inches cf the gunwale and 6even different kinds of fear had found lodg- ment In the hearts of the sailors seven. Tha Cclia landed the men at the Main-street wharf. Saves Sailors From Drowning. TO ARRIVE. Steamer. From. I Due. Coronado.... San Pedro I Aug. S Redondo San Pedro I Aug. 5 Elizabeth....

' A suit for $75,000 for libel was commenced yesterday against U. A. Crothers by G. F. Gray and II. N. Gray, doing business as Gray Bros., which is based upon an article which appeared in the local columns of th* Bulletin on July 30 last. Gray Bros, are contractors and fur- nish the city with rock for use in street improvement. The articl; cf which they complain was headed "Grand Jury After Grafters." Other portions of the heading stated thjt the Board of Public Works was par- tial to Gray Bros.' "blue rock"; that Gray Bros, owned all of the blue race and that the Board of Public Works forbade contractors using a better and cheaper red rock, and that a phemi. J t had found tht tho red rock stood a 5000 test and the blue rock only 4000. The plaintiffs aver that the article meant to convey the impression that Gray Bros, had committed dishonest acts and were liable to be indictei bv the Grand Jury. They say that the statements were "false, scandalous and unprivileged." Commence Suit Ajjainst the Bulletin for $75,000 on Account of Article Published.

Warfield, former les- see of the California Hotel, have en- tered into a controversy over the mat- ter of Warfield's responsibility for damage to the house and its contents during his tenancy and. according to papers filed yesterday in the County Clerk's office, both sides have agreed to submit the differences to William S. Miller for settlement. Warfield leased the hotel on March 1, 1899, and his term of proprietorship expired on March 31 of this year. For the whole period the rent was to be $81,000. or $1350 a month. After the expiration of the lease and the deliv- ery of the property to the Macdon- ough estate Warfield tendered all nf the glass, china and plated ware and kitchen utensils, but the estate com- pany refused to accept them on the ground that they were unfit for US9 in a hotel 1; the California. Besides this the question arose as to Warfield's liability for damage to the furniture, carpets, walls, wood- work, etc., and Warfield disclaimed any liability further than for 578 35, which he paid. The other damages al- leged go into the propositions for set- tlement by the arbitrator. Controversy Over Surrender of T^ense oh California Hotel to Macdon- oujjh Estate.

The Oregonian reached Coronel July 12 and left there July 13. Two days be- fore her arrival and for five days after resuming her voyage the storm raged with fearful fury and any vessel of smaller dimension and less solid con- struction than the Oregonian would have been in grave danger. At Coronel buildings were blown down, railroad tracks washed away and all telegraphic or other communi- cation destroyed. As far as Captain Carty could learn there was no serious damage to shipping. This same storm swept over Valparaiso with disastrous results to life and property. The Oregonian's voyage otherwise was uneventful. NEW YORK— Arrived Aug 4— Stmr Patri- cia, from Hamburg. SPOKEN.

Trustees Give Data on Conduct of In- stitution During Fiscal Year Just Ended. FILE ANNUAL REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY The matter in issue was the Inquest into the cause of death of Frans John- son, who was killed in the Marine Hos- pital by being given bichloride of mer- cury by mistake for sulphate of mag- nesia on July 17. Miss Stella Willey was the nurse who made the mistake, and she had been placed under $2000 bonds by Police Judge Fritz pending her examination for manslaughter. The Coroner's speech to the Jury had its effect, for a verdict was rendered of accidental death, without any. censure upon the nurse or the management of the hospital. Coroner Leland yesterday morning, in presence of a jury, severely criti- cized the Police Courts of this city for the management of certain criminal cases. He said in substance: We find that the police court takes a very serious view of this case. Nurses risk their lives daily for the good of their patients. .They work for the love of doins: good. We all Know that these same courts make no examination Into and Immediately discharge cases of crim- inal abortion and men who fracture other men's skulls. They Uke no cosrnizance whatever of many things which were matters of life and death, and even the thue and men with the very worst of motives meet with a leniency which a trained nurse working with the very best of motives could hardly expect to receive.

It was further agreed that the Tuol- umne County Water Company should pay Nevills and his associates 40 per cent of the net proceeds of the sale of power and light to parties other than Neviils and his associates. It was agreed that the amount due by Neviils and his associates for water and elec- tric power furnished" should be credited upon the indebtedness until the whole amount of $150,000, with interest, should be paid. It was alleged that these cred- its reduced the amount due by the de- fendant to $141,165, and that the de- fendant has refused to pay the 40 per cent of net profits as agreed. The trial of the case of the Rawhide Gold Mining Company vs. the Tuolumne County Water Company and the Tuol- umne County Electric Power and Light Company was begun in the United States Circuit Court yesterday before Judge Morrow and a jury. The suit is to recover $150,000 and possession of an electric light, power and water plant on the ground in violation of contract and under a conditional bill of sale. Stanton L. Carter, Marsha!! B.' Wood- worth and A. H. Kicketts appeared for the plaintiff and Wheaton & Kalloeh for the defendants. The complaint alleges that on March 9, 18SS. Captain W. A. Neviils. W. H. Martin and John Ballard made a writ- ten agreement v/ith the Tuolumne County 'Water Company to convey to the Jamestown Electric Light and Power Company an electric li£ht, pow- er and water plant, with the proviso that the Jamestown Electric Light and Power Company should transfer the property to the party of the second part by a conditional bill of sale pro- viding that the title should not vest in the water company until full payment of the consideration of $150,000, with interest at 6 per cent a year, and that Neyffls *nd his associates should be charged $5 per month per horsepower for electric power delivered at the Raw- hide and App *nines and for water fur- nished.

Shipping Intelligence.

The mystery of the floating pine lumberthrough which the French ship Duchesse doBerry passed has been solved. It was part ofthe deckload of the schooner Maria E. Smith,hound from Port Ludlow for Guayaquil. TheSmith put Into Mazatlan yesterday with mainand mtzzen masts gone, her hull water-loggedand no deckload. She encountered the hurri-cane through which the Duchesse .de Berrypassed. The Duchesse weathered the storm ingood shape, but the Smith emerged from theconflict much the woree for wear and floatingonly by the grace of her buoyant cargo. Theschooner, which Isa vessel of 347 tons registerand Is managed by George E. Billingsof thiscity, may be condemned. She was built in1681 at Port Blakeley.

The Maria E. Smith in Trouble.

The steam echooner Cella on Wednesdayevening saved seven members of the crew ofthe French ship Duche3se de Berry from drift-ing to 6ea in a water-logged ship's boat. TheFrench tailormen had started to row ashore ina boat the seams of which the sun's rays hadrobbed of calking. There was a strong tiderunning and when the boat began to leak thewater poured in faster than all hands couldbail it out. Rowing was out of the questionand there was no sail in the boat, so the eevensailors just bailed and balled, while the tideswept the leaking craft seaward. When theCelia. intervened the water In the ship's boatwas within a few Inches cf the gunwale and6even different kinds of fear had found lodg-ment In the hearts of the sailors seven. ThaCclia landed the men at the Main-street wharf.

to Warfield's liability for damage tothe furniture, carpets, walls, wood-work, etc., and Warfield disclaimedany liability further than for 578 35,

which he paid. The other damages al-leged go into the propositions for set-tlement by the arbitrator.

The American-H'awaiian SteamshipCompany's big freighter Oregonian.

Captain Carty. which arrived here yes-

terday from New York, encounteredterrific weather off Coronel and bringsv.ord of the awful havoc by the stormon all kinds of property at the SouthAmerican port.

The Oregonian reached Coronel July

12 and left there July 13. Two days be-fore her arrival and for five days afterresuming her voyage the storm raged

with fearful fury and any vessel ofsmaller dimension and less solid con-struction than the Oregonian wouldhave been in grave danger.

At Coronel buildings were blowndown, railroad tracks washed awayand all telegraphic or other communi-cation destroyed. As far as CaptainCarty could learn there was no seriousdamage to shipping. This same stormswept over Valparaiso with disastrousresults to life and property.

The Oregonian's voyage otherwisewas uneventful.

FILE ANNUAL REPORTOF PUBLIC LIBRARY

The matter in issue was the Inquest

into the cause of death of Frans John-son, who was killed in the Marine Hos-pital by being given bichloride of mer-cury by mistake for sulphate of mag-

nesia on July 17. Miss Stella Willey

was the nurse who made the mistake,

and she had been placed under $2000bonds by Police Judge Fritz pendingher examination for manslaughter. TheCoroner's speech to the Jury had itseffect, for a verdict was rendered ofaccidental death, without any. censureupon the nurse or the management ofthe hospital.

Coroner Leland yesterday morning,

in presence of a jury, severely criti-cized the Police Courts of this city forthe management of certain criminalcases. He said in substance:

We find that the police court takes a veryserious view of this case. Nurses risk theirlives daily for the good of their patients. .Theywork for the love of doins: good. We all Knowthat these same courts make no examinationInto and Immediately discharge cases of crim-inal abortion and men who fracture other men'sskulls. They Uke no cosrnizance whatever ofmany things which were matters of life anddeath, and even the thue and men with thevery worst of motives meet with a leniencywhich a trained nurse working with the very

best of motives could hardly expect to receive.

It was further agreed that the Tuol-umne County Water Company shouldpay Nevills and his associates 40 percent of the net proceeds of the sale ofpower and light to parties other thanNeviils and his associates. It wasagreed that the amount due by Neviilsand his associates for water and elec-tric power furnished" should be creditedupon the indebtedness until the wholeamount of $150,000, with interest, shouldbe paid.
