Unknown Ship Reported
on Reef-Horses Gome
Ashore-Lumber Drifts
POINT AUKXA, Cal., Sept. 3. It
report ol here today that two horses
have come ashore south of here and this
indicates that the ship which went
aground lust night was lost.
Captain A. Ji. Wilyliams of tho light-
house tender stated that a distinct shoe
was felt about half an hour before
the lumber ciiiiki nshoro last evening
and the failure to discover any trace of
the vessel leads to t ho belief that
was destroyed ly an explosion. This,
he says, would account for the horw
coming ashore.
There is no doubt that the ship was
a luuiher schooner from the north, as
there is a great quantity of lumber still
floating about the scene.
The general opinion here is that the
schooner hacked off and continued h
course. The explosion theory is not be
ing accepted.
SAN FliANCJSCO, Cat, Sept. 3,
The steam schooner Samoa, which pass
ed Point Arena lust evening about the
I tine that the unknown vessel went
aground then', arrived here today. The
captain reported tint he saw no indi
cations of tho wreck, and his first in
formation regarding it was received at
this port. The Samoa was thought lasl
night to be the wrecked vessel.
KUKKKA, Cal., Sept. 2. The pasfien
ger steamer Kilburn arrived hero today
and reported passing Point Arena i.t JO
i 'dock last night. The captain said he
saw nothing to indicate a wreck. U
s.'.id it was very foggy, however, and
the Kilburn could nut havo seen tin
wrecked ship. It is believed here that
the wrecked hhip is some sailing vo
bound south.

trial peace of Montana, Washington
and Wyoming hinges on the conference
begun here today betwieu the coal mine
operators and the United Mine Work

scale for tho northwest. Failure to

Should a general strike bo culled in

day interpret the meeting between the
presidential candidate and Senator For
alter at t he I oletto club last veiling
as a complete surrender on tin1 part of

They say that it means that Forak

fact, that Fornkcr in his speech said
"I am for Tuft," while Tafl in his
remarks did not say that he was for

of fact.

Judge Goffe's Plcy With a Dragging
Fencina Mciter.
A fenclus rs.iiter n;Tcr.:e1 In Boptci
one irinttr lu the eertutoeutli ccnTUiT
nuJ Imd erected a fage on. which be
j strutted up end down at certain hours,
defying any and all to engage lu svrorI
I'iay with him.
After this had gone on for eaveral
days and the man's boasts bad be
come Insufferable Judge William Go't
nnd Kdwnnl Whalley, tho famous Eng
lish political refugees, disguised them
selves In rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. Goffe held
In oue hand a cheese wrapped In a
napkin, which be used for a shield,
find carried a mop which be had toak
ed In middy wuter as be passed a pud
dle. Thus equipped, the Judge mounted
'"ie atage. Tho fencer railed at hlra
for his Impudence, asked him what
business be hnd there and ordered him
to begone. The judge stood his ground.
Then the gladiator made a pass at him
with bis sword to drive him off. The
judge received the sword In his cheese
and held It there (HI he had drawn
the mop over the professor's face and
suieured him with mud. Another
plunge by the enruged inultre d'urmrs
resulted similarly, this time the Judg
poking the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated a third time.
Then the maddened fencing master
dropped bis ordinnry sword and grab-
bed-up a huge broadsword. Thereupon
the Judge said:
"Stop, sir! Hitherto, you see, 1 have
only played with you and not attempt
ed to do you harm, but If you come ai
me now with tho broadsword know
that I will certainly take your life!
The master was Impressed by the
firmness with which the Judge spoke,
for he dropped the point of his weapon
and exclaimed: "Whocanyou be? You
must be either Goffe, Whalley or the
devil, for there was no other man In
England that could bent me!" Boston

A Simple Little Errand That Made
Lot of Commotion.
One of the most amusing accident
Imaginable happened to an old gentle
man In one of our large eastern cities.
He was asked to buy a ticket to u lire-
man s ball and good naturally com
plied. The next (jucstlou was whut to
do with It. He hail two servants,
either of whom would be glad to use
It, but he did not wish to show favoritism.
Then it occurred to him that he might
buy another ticket and givo both bis
servants a pleasure. Not knowing
where tho tickets were sold, he in
quired of a policeman, and the olllcer
suggested that be go to the engine
houvo. So the old gentleman went to
the engine house that evening, but
there was no one lu sight. Ho had nev
er been hi such a placo before und
stood for n moment or so uncertain
how to mnlte his presence known.
1resenlly he saw an electric button
ou the Hide of the room, nud he put his
thumb on It.
The effect was electrical In every sene
of tho word. Through the ceiling,
down the stairs und from every other
direction tire men came running and
falling, the horses rushed out of their
stalls, and, lu short, nil the machinery
of a modern engine house wus Instant-
in motion.
Amid all this uproar stood the inno
cent old gent reman, who did not tnis-
peet that he hnd touched the Ure nlarm
until the men clamored around him for
Information as to the locality of ttie
tire.
Then lie said mildly, "1 hIiuuM like to
buy another ticket for tho ball. If you
please.' ,
The Hltuatlou was so ludicrous that
there was a general shout of laughter.
n ml the old gentleman bought his
kct. and tho engine house resumed
Its former state of iiuiet. Exchange.
