Thelberg, a wealthy blind physician, who lives at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, was ar rested to-day for whipping a 14-year-old boy named Arthur Mag net. The boy declares that the physician beat him on the head with a gold-headed cane with such force that the cane was broken. The doctor says that as the boy's guardian he has the right to punish him. Young Magnet asserts that he doesn't know where he was born, but that he used to live with a Mrs. Frazee at 8 Hopeton ter race, off Washington street, in San Francisco, and that when he was four years old Dr. Thelberg came and took him away. At the time he was taken away Mrs. Froze*, the boy says, informed him that Dr. Thelberg was his father. As a reason for the beating the boy declares that for some time the physician has been trying to force him to go to sea, and that when he flatly refused to go the cane was broken on his head. The magistrate has postponed exami nation of the case until to-morrow. UNRIVALED SHIPS FOR THE TRADE OF THE PACIFIC Plans of the Oceanic Company. SERVICE TO BE INCREASED STOCKHOLDERS IN AUNTJAL SESSION. A Year of Great Prosperity Opens Another Which Promises to Bo the Best in the Corpora- > tion's History. ? One of the most important sessions In the history of the Oceanic Steamship Company was held yesterday in the an nual, meeting of the stockholders of the company. The reports of the officers showed that the corporation has not only surpassed all previous records of prosper ity during its latest year of existence but it promises for the year just beginning greater results and success. The affairs of the corporation were briefly sum marized in the report of the president, John D. Spreckels, who referred particu larly -to the substantial results of last year and to the - healthy condition with which the new year is begun. Mr. Spreckels called attention to the success which has greeted the bonds which have been issued for the construc tion of new ships. These ships, he report ed, will increase the number of round trips during the year from eight or nine to seventeen. The ships in speed, equip ment and comfort will be without peers in the Pacific Ocean and will, contribute materially to the upbuilding of the com merce of the coast. There is, the presi dent reported, every reason to expect sub stantial mail subsidies from the Govern ment of New Zealand. As a whole tho aftairs of the company could not be In a better condition and the future could not promise a brighter outlook. The total net earnings for 1899 were $374,747 45. an increase of J49.190 05 over those of 189 S. In the net earnings of ISU9 the steamship Zealandia contributed J90, 569 35 for her services asia Government transport. Deducting this amount from the total of net earnings leaves as net earnings in the regular trade J279,1iS 40, which is an increase of $101,401 64, or about 63 per cent, over the regular trade earn ings of IS9S. There Is now in the treasury the sum of $296,547 60, as against $222,901 32 in IS9S», making an increase of $73,646 28. This sum does not include the money which has been received from the sale of bonds. These bonds are now very highly considered by investors, as the premium upon them demonstrates. The entire au thorized amount of $2,5U0,000 has been sub scribed for at par. Bonds to the extent of $1,250,000 have been issued and partial payments to the amount of $725,534 have been made on account of steamship con struction and further payments will soon become due. One of the most important parts of the president's report deals with the construc tion of these new ships and the enormous increase of the service which will be oi vital interest to the commerce of the coast. The president reports that the re quirements of the trade are beyond the present capacity of the company, but it is fortunate that the new ships, the con struction of which was authorized at the last annual meeting, will be sufficient to meet the increasing demands of trade. The first of these three ships will be launched in a few days and will be able to take up the running on June 13. It will be followed two months later by the sec ond vessel and four months later by the third. As already Indicated, they will be without peer on the Pacific Ocean and could not be duplicated now at an In creased cost of 25 per cent. When they are put In commission the Alameda and Mariposa will be withdrawn in turn to receive new boilers, machinery and other improvements, which will Increase their speed and capacity. The president reported also that he had visited Washington in connection w:th securing mail subsidies, and confidently expects increased revenue from this source when the new steamships are ready for service. Proposals have been made also to the Government of New Zea land with a view to the establishment of Dr. Parker's Cough Cure. One dose will stop a cough. .Never fails. Try It.

At the conclusion of the installation ceremonies of the Young Ladles' Institute No. 7 on last Wednesday evening Sister Mahoney, the retiring president, was pre sented with a handsome diamond pin by District Deputy Mrs. J. P. Sweeney in token of the. esteem in which'she.is held by her, sister members and in appreciation of the Interest she had always displayed in institute affairs. Sister Mahoney feel ingly responded. Commercial Museum Delegates. In accordance with the request of Presi dent Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the Uni versity of California, the Merchants* As sociation has appointed the following: com mittee of five to attend the conference to be held this. evening at the Mark Hop kins Institute of Art upon the proposed establishment of a commercial museum in San Francisco: Isaac Upham, S. Suss man. James Hogg, Everett N. Bee and Adolph Mack. The Manufacturers' and Producers' Association has appointed as delegates to the same meeting as follows: A. Sbarboro. James W. Kerr. Wakefleld Baker, Lippman Sachs, Charles B. Platt and Eugene Goodwin old man promising not to trouble hor again. a complete new service. These proposals .specify that the New Zealand Govern ment shall pay annually to the Oceanic Steamship Company the sum of £30,000 in consideration for seventeen trips a year with the new steamships, instead of thir teen trips now given with two Amerlc.in ships and one British vessel. *;:'i The offer to the Oceanic Company is to perform the new service exclusively with American ships, as it must do if it avails itself of the terms of the United States law governing postal contracts. Under the proposed conditions the ships would sail every three weeks instead of four, with the time of the voyage greatly re duced. No definite arrangement has yef been reached with the colonies, but the president of the company believes that when, the colonial Parliament meets in June a satisfactory agreement will be made. • . :.; • With these plans the president . looks forward confidently to an extremely bright future. The company, instead of furnishing eight or nine trips a year, will give seventeen, and make the time In transit between Australia and London as good as the best the Suez canal route can offer. It will at the same time handle the New Zealand malls in four days' less time. The report of the secretary, to ; which the president referred, is important, and Is in full as follows: Assets— Stores on ' dock. $4,171 78: Honolulu warehouse, 124,981 62; coal at Honolulu (953 and were delighted when Panama was reached. The ship Cyrus "Wakefleld, now on her way to Honolulu, is likely to have trou ble with her crew in the islands. She has over 4000 tons of general cargo aboard, and there will be some hard work in dis charging it. Then she is to load sugar for New York, and ther^^lll be more labor getting it aboard. '.Tliat being the case, there is likely to be a few desertions be fore the vessel is ready to sail for New York. The transport Pennsylvania will get away with a full cargo of supplies for General Otis. She will carry $1,500,000 in specie for the payment of the soMiers. An officer and ten men will go along to guard the treasure. Besides these men the Pennsylvania will take down four doc tors, four officers and two Government employes. Captain Peterson has taken command of the steamer Ncwburg, vice Captain Hanson. The following notice to mariners has been issued by the Lighthouse Inspector: "Notice is hereby given that pending the removal of the fog signal to a new site the fog bell at Alcatraz Island light sta tion.

From a photo taken at the age of 11 years. THE brief telegraphic message wh!ch heads this article has dragged the family Ekeleton from the closet of a man who formerly moved in the swellest social circles of San Fran cisco, and has caused immeasura ble mental torture to the woman out of whose life the boy she loved was torn seven long years ago. When Mrs. V. Frazee. who lives at R Hopeton terrace, which extends south from Washington street, between Powoll and Stockton, was informed that Dr. Thelberg had been arrested in New York for maltreatir.gthelad who formerly mnde his home with her, she came near faint ing and had to be carried to an open window. Her anguish was something pitiable, and as soon as she had re-cov ered sufficiently to be able to speak co herently the old lady told a tale which •will interest residents of both this city and New York. It is the tale of a wronced •woman, of a man's effort to hide his child away from the eyes of the world, of an other woman's love for the little one that had been brought into her life to supply the place of others that had passed away, of the marriage of the father in a far away cJty, of the latent affection for his offspring which finally developed to the point where he tore it rudely from the protecting arms which held it, and then of physical misfortune and brutality, which ended in the Police Court— a etrange, cad tale. Into which at various places creeps the dramatic clement. Dr. John Thelberg was formerly a phy- Eiclan well known fn this city, who for months lived at the Palace and then at the Baldwin Hotel. Here he moved in the higtiest circles of society and attracted considerable attention from the fair sex on account of his handsome face and agreeable personality. While living here he did not practice his chosen profession on account of holding a lucrative position as chemist for the American Sugar Re finery. Ten months after the birth of tha child whose parentage was unknown until stven years ago he was blinded by the explosion of some chemicals while experi menting Jn a drugstore on Clay street, and shortly afterward went to the Belle vue Hospital in New York to see if any thing could be done to restore his sight. The skill of medical scientists availed him not and to-day he is as blind as when the accident occurred. "Dr. Thelberg came to live with my hus band and me in 1S80," said Mrs. Frazee, "and stayed here only a few months, when mv husband, r.ho had taken a vio lent dislike to him for some reason or other, asked me to inform him that we desired to live alone. Then he went away and I <sid not sco him again until two or throe days after my husband's death, which occurred on July 16, ISSL "At that time he returned and en deavored to console me for my loss, and now and then he would visit me. He was always \*ery pleasant, and until I learned of Ills wickedness I thought him a good man. indeed. A year later he called to see me again and told me that the wife of a dear friend of his had died shortly after giving birth to a child and that he Intended to adopt It. He wanted me to take the child and give it the best of care, saying he would pay me well for my trouble. I was astonished to hear this, as he was only 2S years old then, and said people would think it strange for him to adopt a baby. I asked Its sex and age. and he became confused and said he had forgotten to Inquire. He finally won my consent to take care of the child, for I thought it would take the place of ray own dear ones who had passed away. "In the latter part of July he came and told me to prepare for a short jour oe y r did so and went aboard a vessel on a Monday and did not get home until the following Saturday. The place I was taken to was Santa Barbara. \o a hotel there on West street. The next day Dr. Thelberg came for me in a carriage and took me to a cottage on West street, a short distance from the hotel. I was ushered into the parlor, and in a short time he returned with a bundle which he placed in my arms. It was the baby. "I brought it home and learned to love it as a mother would her own child. When the boy was 9 years old I took him to old St. Mary's Church, on Du pont and California streets, and had him uaptized by Father Sullivan and chris tened Arthur Frazee. His father had told me his surname was Magnet, but 1 chose that he should btar my name. He was Etnt to the Le Conte School, on Powell street, between V.'ashinpton and Jackson, until the day he was torn from my arms, and grew Into a fine, large boy. "Aoout ten months after the child was born his father met with an accident which caused his blindness. The boy was born on June 28, I&>2, and the reason why his father was confused when I asked him the sex of the child he wanted me to take care of was that it had not yet been born. Dr. Thelberg was asked to investigate a chemical in a Clay street drug store as he was passing in his buggy and the chemical exploded and made him blind. "He stayed at the Baldwin Hotel for six months and then went to Bellevue Hos pital, Xew York, where he had graduated as a physician, to see if anything could be done for him. It could not, and I after ward learned from an old English gentle man named Webb, who used to live at South Park, but is now dead, that Dr. Thelberg had married a woman who had graduated in the same year he did. Five years after he had departed he pent a lawyer here for the boy, and I refused to give him up. "It was In August. 1593, that he returned here himself and asked for the boy. I said nobody could have him, that I loved him and he wanted to stay with me. Then the doctor went before the courts and swore that Arthur was his own child, and I had to yield him up. The boy was 11 years old when taken away, and the night before he went he cried dreadfully and paid: 'Mamma, that man is going to take me away. I want to die. I don't want to go with him. Who Is he?" I said the doctor declared he was Arthur's father, and then the child became strangely still. I wonder what he thinks now, when he Is nearly 18 years old? "The boy was taken to the Mount Pleasant Primary School at Amherst, Mass. All my letters to him were inter cepted by Principal Nash in accordance with orders I learned had been given by Mrs. Thelberg. The physician showed me Mrs. Thelberg's picture when he came after Arthur and she looked like a kind woman. "Mr. Webb told me he had learned that the mother of the boy was not dead at all and that she had followed the father to New York and had been permitted to visit him while he was at the hospital and bring him delicacies and flowers. She did not live in Santa Barbara, but in San Francisco, and went there a few months before the boy was born. "I love the boy and want him back and believe he would like to return to me. Where his mother is I don't know. I should think from his still going by the name of Magnet that Mrs. Thelberg does not know that her husband is the boy's father, but this brutality may end the sorrow in his young life." As an evidence of the love Mrs. Frazee, who is a very old lady, bears for "her Arthur." it may be mentioned that she has made him the sole legatee to her property by the terms of her will, includ ing money In bank and valuable Jewels in the safe deposit, besides considerable real efttate. The dispatch would seem to bear out her impression that Mrs. Thelberg is unaware that the boy is her husband's, as in it is mentioned the fact that he claimed the right to punish him on account of befn? his guardian. The substance of the dis patch is at variance with the facts in two particulars. The boy, according to Mrs. Frazee. Is now nearly IS years of age and was eleven years old when taken away by the father. - « Threatened to Kill. Henry De Costa, a laborer, went to the residence of T. S.Ncw. 1629 Mission street, early yesterday morning and demanded to see his divorced wife. He raised a dis turbance and threatened to kill New. lie was arrested on a charge of threats to kill and appeared before Judge Cabanlss later. The case was continued. -. „„„ Thomas Condon, the old man at Ocean View who was arrested for threatening to kill his wife, appeared before JuaeP Fritz yesterday. The wife refused to prosecute and the case was dismissed, the PLANS FOR THE RECEPTION OF LAWTON'S BODY So Far They Are Very Indefinite. INCREASING INTEREST SHOWN "Within a week the transport Thomas, bearing the body of General Lawton, will arrive. Interest In the probable action of the army authorities is being shown in various ways, but even the army authorities are not sure as to what will be done. The only definite arrangement so far made is .that the body will be es corted across the continent by General Shatter and his aid. Colonel Wilson. It may be that a guard of honor will be de tailed from the garrison at the Presidio to take charge of the body on the train, but that has not been settled finally. The reception given the body of the gen eral will depend upon the wishes of Mrs. Lawton. who is coming home on the Thomas, and on the wishes of those in charge of the funeral arrangements to be held in Washington. The army people here are ready to parade or supply guards at any time, but it will take come day* to arrange for any celebration in which the city will take any active part. Mayor Phelan has asked to be allowed to participate in any public demonstration as representing the city, and the Odd Fel lows, of which order Lawton was a mem ber, have Informed the headquarters that if there should be a p?rade 1000 Odd Fel lows will follow their dead comrade. Rtv. Dr. Foute, rector of Grace Episcopal Church, has also communicated with headquarters with an offer of his church as a place in which the body of the gen eral may lie while awaiting shipment East. It cannot be known, however, whether or not the body will be delayed here until Mrs. Lawton has been seen. She rray consent to remain over in San Francisco for a day or two, or it may be that those in charge in Washington will make such a request in order to perfect their plans. In that caso there will probably be a civil and military demonstration. In case this is not desired the body will be taken from the transport at the Folsom-street wharf and will be immediately removed to the train under suitable guard. It 19 not now Intended that there shall be any saluting as the transport enter? the harbor. At the time of the funeral in Manila minute guns, in accordance with the rank of General Lawton, were fired from all posts, and it is probable, that a similar salute will be given on the date of the ceremonies in Washington. In consequence there will not be any salute fired except under orders from Washing ton. The body of Major John A. Logan will also arrive on 'the Thomas. Major TucK er. Major Logan's brother-in-law, Is now here to receive and to escort the body East. It will probably be put under the guard of honor for General Lawton. and will be accorded almost similar honors on the way over. With the change of commanders at the Presidio has come a change in the office of adjutant. First Lieutenant Le Roy Eltinge giving place to Lieutenant J. B. Parker of the same regiment, the Sixth Cavalry. Major Cowles, who has Just re signed command, has been made execu tive officer of the post, a place that seems to have been borrowed from the naval system. On board a warship the execu tive officer Is the working captain, exer cising all his authority as the representa tive of the captain, and with nearly as much power. The office is a new one to the Presidio. Major William H. Comegya, paymaster has been ordered to proceed by the trans port Pennsylvania to Manila. He will be : accompanied by his clerk and will hrve in his charge several millions of dollars to be used in the payment of troops no>v in the field. First Lieutenant Thaddeus B. Selgle. Thirty-eighth Infantry, with three non-commissioned officers and six privates selected from the recruits md casuals, will go as a guard over the treas ure. Major Alfred G. Markley, Twenty-fourth Infantry, has been ordered to proceed to Manila on the Pennsylvania. Acting Assistant Surgeon John H. Ma cready has been assigned to duty at the general hospital at the Presidio. Major William Ennls. Sixth Artillery, has been ordered to proceed to Honolulu to take command of Camp McKinley. no* in charge of Major Mills, also of the Sixth Artillery. Major Mills upon being relieved will proceed as soon as possible to Minlic. where he will join his regiment. Major Ennls will go down to Honolulu on the next mall steamer, as transports are still giving the island capital a wide berth. HOFF MURDER CASE. The Appeal Was Beargned Before tiia Supreme Court. The appeal case of Albert Frederick George Verensenekockockhoff. commenty called Albert Hoff. convicted of tha murder of Mrs. Mary Clute in Judsa Cook's court and sentenced to be hanged. came up for reargument in the Supreme Court yesterday. Last August the Su preme Court reversed the judgment of the lower court. Justice Temple, who wrote the opinion, contended that the Judge of the lower court had In instruct ing the jury allowed himself to become argumentative upon the fact 3 and the circumstantial evidence introduced in the trial. Justice McFarland and Justire Garoutte dissented from the prevailing opinion and the Attorney General asked for a reargument. Hoff was represented yesterday by William H. Schooler and R. L. Simpson and the prosecution by Attorney General Tlrey L. Ford. Attorney Schooler's argu ment was alone the lines of Justice Temple's opinion. Mr. Ford showed that over twenty States In the United States have constitutions which are worded liko that of California on the instructions to juries, which had been upheld by the highest courts and where the instruc tions were similar to those in the Hoff case. The same line of instructions, ha contended, had been given here in the cases of Durrant, Brandes and Botkln. which had not been assailed, although the parties had been convicted upon cir cumstantial evidence. The court took the matter under advisement. Supposed Ward Discovered to Be a Blind Physician's Child.

The transports arriving from Manila all report*- exceedingly heavy weather dur ing the latter part of the trip. The ship Tacoma found it hard work to • make headway, and in consequence she was a long time making the run. The Cone maugh "caught it" on the great circle, the captain reporting that the waves ran mountains high, threatening at times to engulf the ship. Captain Storrs of the Leelanaw thought it would be very rough on the great circle, bo he took the south ern route. The Leelanaw arrived yester day, and from all accounts she had a worse trip than either the Conemaugh or Tacoma. The Leelanaw left Manila on December 20 and made the run to Nagasaki in a. little over eight days. From Nagasaki she went to ivobe, and after leaving the latter port her troubles began. Captain Storrs in his report says that from Janu ary 1 to 16. nothing but a succession of southeast and southwest gales: were en countered. No sooner would one storm blow itself out than another would come up. The captain says he often saw the crest of the "following" wave showing clean over the topmast head of the Lee lanaw. Captain Roberts of the Cone maugh says he measured the waves and that they were Co feet high, but Captain Storrs is of the opinion that in the gales he had to fight against the waves were at least 100 feet high. The Government has not yet decided what to do with the Tacoma, Conemaugh and Leclanaw. The chances are that the .ship will be re-leased and that the two steamers will go back to the Philippines with a load of horses. Quite a number of transports should arrive here this week. The Manauense is now out fourteen days from Yoko hama; the Lennox, twenty-six days from Manila: City of Peking, twenty-five days from Manila; Senator, twelve days from Nagasaki; Thomas, with General Law ton's remains aboard, eleven days from Nagasaki; Missouri and Benmohr, twenty-two days from Manila, and the Ohio ten days from Nagasaki. Several others are from eight to fourteen days out from Manila, and the Warren that left here with the last of the colored troops, is to sail to-day. All of these vessels, with the exception of the Thomas, Missouri and Warren, which are owned by the Government, will be returned to their owners as soon as they reach port. The British ship Clan Graham, ifter trying for three days to make port, finally arrived yesterday morning. Pilot Wallace boarded the ship three days ago, and It was a weary vigil for him. Half the time the Graham was lost in the fog. and two tugs that went out to look for her failed to connect. Finally, when the fog lifted yesterday morning, a tug picked her up and brought her in. The bark Gatherer also got in after being all night on the bar. She made the run from Clallam liny to ihe heads in a little over three days steamboat time. The mail steamer Moana will not get sway for the colonies until Thursday night. She was to have sailed Wednes day, but the English mails are twenty four" hours late. The Pacific Mail Company's steamer Barracouta arrived at Panama yesterday after a rery stormy passage from Cham perico. She was caupnt in a similar stor'n to the one in which the Colima went. down and whs only raved by clever seaman ship. The cargo shifted, the decks were swept, bulwarks stove In, cabin flooded and sails that were put on the vessel to steady it were blown into ribbons. Cap tain and crew had a very hard time of it 12
