BEING OPENED BIG CLOTHING STORE, SHOT FROM THE SHORE Thrilling Experience of a Boat Crew of Sealers. ONE MAN PATALLY WOUNDED. Two Others Shot in the Breast The Story of tho Survivors Told in San Francisco. Special by The United 1'rks. Sax Francisco, Sept 11. The schooner . . Lewis, Captain Alex ander McLean, arrived this afternoon from tho North. On board were H. Rayman, Wm. Jackson, Frank Mor rell and eight other seal hunters of the schooner C. IF. White, who wore picked up forty miles off Copper island on August 7th. Rayman tol 1 a tale of their hard ships to a reporter who boarded the schooner. He said: "We loft San Francisco on the White February loth, for a northern hunting cruise. On the morning of August 2d, while off Cop per island, we lowered six boats with three men in each boat, leaving three men in charge of the schooner. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon we tried to make our way back to the vessel, but could not find her, and a heavy fog setting in made our observations more difficult. Wo accordingly went back to the shore and remained over night In tho morning the surf was heavy and the wind so strong that we de cided to try and make the other side of the island for safety. We kept close into the shore, owing to the fog, and had got around on the other side about one and a half miles, when sud denly we were startled by a rifle re port form tho shore, and the air was filled with whizzing bullets. "In our boat were myself, James Kerr and Wm. Jackson. The other boats were a quarter of a mile astern of our boat 'Volley after volley was fired upon us. Tho fog was so dense that we could hardly see tho shore where our assailants were hidden behind cliffs, and we could not tell how many they nnmbered. "Jackson received a wound in the leg, but continued to work at his oar. Thou Kerr was shot in tho breast, the bullet first going through tho stem of tho boat as wo were pulling hard to get out of range. A second or so afterward I was shot in tho breast, over the left nipple, and the ball passed through my body and is now lodged m tho skin in my back. I managed to reach my gun and fired a 'call shot' to the other boats, which had heard tho firing. "They came to our rescue as fast as they could and towed us out to sea. Wo do not know who our assailants were, but beliove they were a tribe of Allentians. They perhaps mistook us for a part' which raided tho island sometime ago and robbed them. This j was their revenge. ' "Kerr died two hours later, aud after lj"6"o"6"l5"6"b"bb"6"o"o"6"oo"o"o"o"do'b OVER o F Goods NOW .

"Jackson and myself "were treated as well as circumstaBces would permit by the other boat crews. "The next morning we started out again to find our vessel and all we had to eat was a piece of sea biscuit "We pulled about from 4 o'clock the next morning till 4 o'clock on the fol lowing morning, aud then drifted about for another day, and then we sighted the J. H. Lewis and were picked up." Another account says: According to the statements of Louis Fischer, one of the crew, Captain Hageman, commander of tho schooner, will have a long bill of reckoning to account fo'r upon his arrival here. According to the story of Fischer, the captain not only deserted the men who were out in boats, but abandoned them in tho open sea and left them to meet a terrible fate. The men drifted around in their boats for three days and three nights without food or wa ter and were finally obliged to make land on an island in Russian posses sions, where the penalty of stepping ashore was death. The sailors wore obliged to go to work under orders of a Russian offi cer and were treated like slaves. They were afterwards put on board the steamer Alexander II and taken to Petropananosvki, where they were thrown into prison and left there to languish for two days, without food or water. Through the intercession of an agent of the Alaska Commercial company they were finally released and sont to this city. THE SEJTATE PROGRAM. Liatinsr Bills that Must Be Acted Upon.

Special to The Astohian.1 Santa Fe, Sept ll.-Advices from San Juan connty are to the effect that the District Court has adjourned there, and no indictment was found against John Corp, the San Juan river settler who is alleged to have killed Feg Chilla, a Navajo Indian, in a rnnning fight on December 26th last The grand jury reported that every effort had been made to arrive at the facts of the killing of the Indian, but from all the testimony obtained it ap peared to have been in self defense, and the shooting was done in resist ing an attack by the Indian. This is the circumstance that came near bringing about serious trouble between the Navajoes and whites last winter and subsided only when it was agreed that the accused white man should be arrested and tried for mur der. The trouble may open afresh. THE DEATH OF IJARRUNDIA. Ticxv Version of the Killing Hy Captain Fltts. Special toTiiEASTOitiAx.l Cfrr of Mexico, Sept 11.

A Threat From the Steamship Companies, Special to The Astokiajt.J Lomjok, Sept 11. In the event of thefjouthampton strike continuing a weel: longer, several steamship com panies, it is said, will cease, to make Southampton their terminus. The loss of patronage thus resulting will prevent any dividend being de clared on dock shares for nine years to come. The shares are already unsaleable, and ship owners are wiring their agents to send homeward-bound ves sels to other ports. The Morning Post compares the Southampton strike with the great strikes at Pittsburg and Chicago, which resulted in disaster to life and property. Tho situation to-day is quieter. The police have given notice that they will prohibit processions by the strik ers. The leaders of the strike have promised, on the part of the men, to abstain from any further demonstra tions, and the mail steamer La Plata sails to-day, having engaged a fresh crew.

' Tlic Passion Play" Approved. Special to The Astokiax.1 New Yoke, Sept. 11. Archbishop Corrigan, who arrived from Europe to-day, said ho was deeply impressed with the "Passion Play" at Aberam egan. There were scenes which were most affecting. He said the surroundings were purely re ligious, and that there was no levity among the audience. The scenes were reverent and impressive. Begarding the case of Dr. Burtsell, the archbishop felt disinclined to say much. Cardinal red costumes are tho fash ion in Paris. They are,!tailor-made" and trimmed in the most elaborate fashion. Safety From a Pestilential Scourge. Protection from the disease, not a medi cinal asent which merely checks the parox ysms, is the Rrand deside'ratiun wherever the endemic coun;c of malaria prevails. Quinine does noc alTord this prntcc.ton. The chief reason why Hostctter's Stomach Uit terihas won such immense popularity is. that It prepares the system to resist the maianai pest, liusicuocs oy Dracim; ami toning the physical organism ; repeating and promoting an equal How and distribu tion of the animal llnlds, and establishing digestion on a sound basis. No. only is fever and ague prevented, but the worst types of the disease are conquered by it. Such is the only conclusion to be drawn from the overwhelming evidence in its favor. It is eiiually efficacious in dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint, general de bility and rheumatic complaint, and is a reliable diuretic and nervine. oooooooooood o"o"o"66 o'b'o'b o obo o"b"b cfoooooooooo o'b ooodo o6 o o o o o OVER o - O F Hundred Boxes New Goods .NOW BEING OPENED s JL T : Herman "Wise's CLOTHING STORE; In Occident Hotel FRI&HT IN WALL STREET Tie Financial SiMon Giyes Some Canse for Alarm. STOCKS TAKE A BIG TUMBLE, Stringency in the Money Market Almost Unprecedented Except Dur ing Panics. Special by Ther U:aTED Peess. New York, Sept 11. Several even ing papers profess alarm concerning the financial situation. The Sun says: "Many bankers and brokers of "Wall street were frightened to-day. Money rates ran up to 14 per cent, per day and interest equal to 96 per cent per year. The prices of stocks fell on an average of about 2 per cent. Some declines were much greater, sugar dropping 6f per cent and Chicago gas 6. The stringency of money is almost unprecedented excent durincr nnrrins. Money is going to the west and south aca greater rate than ever before. The shipments of currencv have av eraged between S750.000 and Sl.imnnn per day for some time.
