MERRIMAC HERO
IN ASYLUM CELL
Warrant Officer Deigan
Is Sent to Ukiah
Hospital.
Sickness Dethrones the Rea
son of a Comrade of
Hobson.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
VKIAH, Nov. 27.— Osborne Deigan, one
of the men who immortalized themselves
with Lieutenant Hobson by sinking the
collier I*errimac in the entrance to the
harbor of Santiago, with the object of
penning in the Spanish fleet, is an in
mate of the Ukiah Hospiial for the In
sane. He was brought to this city sev
eral days agot.
Deigan was recently attached to the
Mare Island navy-yard and given com
mand of the Vigilant. He served but a
day or two, when he was ordered upon
the sick list. After a serious illness his
mind was found to be affected, with the
result that he was committed to the asy
lum. It is believed that the young naval
hero's stay in the hospital will be only
temporary.
Delgan was a sailor on one of the ves
sels of the American fleet off Santiago
at the time volunteers were called for to
accompany Lieu tenant Hobson' on the
mission that apparently meant death
lor that brave young man and all who
accompanied him. He was eager to go
with Hobson, and was one of the first
men selected. Following the sinking of
the Merrimac, the capture of the daring
party o f Americans and their release from
a Spanish prison, President McKinley was
anxious to reward each of the young he
roes. Deigan was offered a cadetship in
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, but it
was found that he was ineligible. Then
he was appointed a boatswain in the
United States navy. The young officer
was personally complimented by Presi
dent McKinley for his g-allantry." His ap
pointment as a warrant officer was made
on April 5 of this year.
D7THAPPY COUPLES AIR
THEIB MAKITAL TROUBLES
Divorce Courts Kept Busy by Wives
and Husbands With Com
plaints.
Jessie L. Paton Berry, wife of William
F. Berry, who is suing for divorce on the
ground of desertion and failure to pro
vide, appeared before Judge Hunt yester
iay and told her story. She said her hus
band deserted her in July, 1895, and that
since that time he had not furnished her
Rith sufficient means for her support.
Berry told a different tale, however, and
Judge- Hunt took the case under advise
ment. Berry, who is an accountant for
'.ercantile Trust Company, said he
educated his son, now a youth of 19, and
ihought that by doing so he was doing
:«eiter than he would if he gave his wife
fr.fficient only to board and cloth the en
:ire family.
The trial of the suit for divorce insti
tuted by Man,- E. Deane against Charles
F. Deane. for cruelty, was heard by
Judge Murasky. No decision was ren
3ered, as the testimony of Deane was a
Sirect contradiction of that given by his
Kufe. The Deanes are colored people, and
Rere married in Nova Scotia in 1865.
Divorces were granted yesterday to
klaria Lisauer from Jacob Lisauer, for
ruelty; Clara Anderson from Harry An
lerson. for desertion; Maria N. B. Ta
rares from J. G. Tavares. for cruelty, and
Mary E. Thompson from Wallace Le
frand Thompson, for desertion.
Suits for divorce were filed yesterday by
A.r.nie Thallwitz against Richard Thall
*-:tz, for cruelty; Clara Masters against
John W. Masters, for desertion; Minnie
U Christopher against John Francis
Christopher, for cruelty; Charles A.
Smith against Anna Marie Smith, for de
lertion; Margaret Nolan against James
Kolan, for failure to provide, and Hattie
Z. Stout against George W. Stout, for
:rue!ty.

BRITISH SHIP GLAUCUS LOSES
MAN OVERBOARD IN MIDOCEAN
Boat Is Manned and Lowered in Seven Minutes, but Crew Fails
to Save Life of the .Unfortunate — Curacao Arrives From
Mexican Ports — Schooner Alexander Fails to Reach Fort Bragg
BRITISH SHIP GLAUCUS WHICH ARRIVED FROM ANTWERP YESTERDAY, MAKING THE BEST TIME OP
THE SEASON: SHE MADE THE RUN IN 129 DAYS, AND HER CAPTAIN SAYS HE WOULD HAVE BROK
EN THE RECORD HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE FOG.
AMONG the vessels arriving yester
day were the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company's Curacao
from Mexican ports, the schoon
er Alexander, that left here on
the 12th inst. for Fort Bragg, and the
British ship Glaucus, from Antwerp. The
latter made almost a record run, covering
the distance in 129 days. This is the best
run of the season, and has not been
beaten in years.
The Glaucus had an uneventful run,
save for the loss of one of the crew. The
accident occurred on July 31, last, when
the ship was in latitude 40 degrees north,
longitude 15 degrees west. L. Eriksen
fell overboard and, in spite of every ef
fort to save him, he was drowned. The
ship was hove to and a boat lowered in
seven minutes, but when it reached the
spot where the man was last seen all
that was left was his hat and a few bub
bles. He had gone down just as help was
at hand.
The Glaucus comes into port in first
class trim and after discharging will load
wheat for Europe.
Mexican Mail Boat Arrives.
The Curacao arrived from llexican
ports last night. She did not bring a
large passenger list, but among her cargo
was a lot of concentrates and bullion,
valued at more than a quarter of a mil
lion dollars. Those who came up on the
vessel were: Mrs. C. H. Ramirez, Miles
E. Stratton, F. W. Albrighton, Carlos S.
de la Toba, Carmen Jofre, Adelaida Jofre,
Antonio Perez, Francisco Arias and two
children, Estefa Bustamante. Asencion
Davis and three children, and Ramon
Miramontes.
The Curacao left the United States
training ship Alert in Magdalena Bay.
She was to leave that port for La Pas
on December 1. She will coal at the lat
ter place and then proceed to San Diego,
arriving about December 18.
- The Alexander Is Safe.
The four-masted schooner Alexander,
which was off port Tuesday night, sailed
in yesterday. She left here In tow of the
steam schooner National City for Fort
Bragg, and when off her (destination was
anchored because there was not enough
room in the harbor for her. The National
City went in and leaded, but during the
night a gale came up and the Alexander
had to slip her anchor and put to sea.
Captain Zahn says he was driven away
off shore and then beat his way back,
but ag there was no tug to help him he
could not make his way into the harbor
at Fort Bragg. He accordingly stood
away for San Francisco and made port
yesterday mojrning. At no time was the
schooner' in any danger, and she is now
getting ready to make a second attempt
to reach Fort Bragg in tow of the Na
tional City. Both vesels will sail to
morrow.
Accident on Ocean Wave.
The Santa Fe's ferry steamer Ocean
Wave will have to be laid up
for repairs. On the 8 a. m.
trip yesterday one of the cylinder
heads blew out and one of the deck
hands was slightly scalded by the escap
ing steam. The vessel's engines were
rendered useless, but the tugr Reliance
towed her to and from Point Richmond
during the day, so that there was no de
lay and no inconvenience. To-day the
Amador will take up the running until
the Ocean Wave is repaired.
Water Front Notes.
The Harbor Commissioners held a short
session yesterday and awarded the con
tract to Healy, Tibbitts & Co. for the re
piling and repairing of the north side of
Folsom street wharf No. 2. The firm's
lvd was J2655. Bids for constructing a
shed over Union street wharf will be
opened December 11.
Edward Brown asserts that he was
robbed on the water front Tuesday night.
Two men, so he says, knocked him down
and rifled his pockets of $7. He reported
the occurrence to Officers McCormack
and Dower, but as he was under the in
fluence of liquor not much credence was
placed in his story. The police are inves
tigating the matter, however.
Reinsurance on the bark Prince Albert
was advanced -to 40 per cent yesterday.
The tug Monarch picked up a two and
one-half ton anchor off Black Point yes
terday. It had been located by some
wreckers and is deemed a good find.

While the piece teems with good comedy
and side-splitting situations there is not a
vulgar line nor a suggestion of vulgarity
in the entire play. The advance sale

• "We 'Uns of Tennessee" has found
strong favor with Alcazar patrons - this
week. The piece is bright, strong and full
of interest and thrill and is done to- a
nicety by the clever members of the Al
cazar company. The cast is excellent and
each member has that to do which he can
best do. Charles Bryant in ? particular
shines and Miss Juliet Crosby is another
favorite .of the cast. Next week "An
Enemy of the King", will hold down the
boards. "We ' 'Uns of Tennessee" will
have . a matinee performance this after

• Cannot Withdraw Resignations.
City Attorney Lane filed an opinion yes
terday with the Police Commissioners ad
vising that he knows of no ground what
ever upon which permission could at thi3
time be given to an ex-officer to with
draw a resignation accepted by their pre
decessors in office. Lane says a member
of the force upon presenting his resigna
tion, and the same being accepted, ceases
to be a member of the department, and
the Police Board has no power to annul
th« acceptance or permit the withdrawal
of the resignation, which would be tanta
mount to reinstatement on the force.
There is no question as to the power of
their predecessors, to accept a resigna
tion from the department, and such ac
ceptance must be regarded as final.

License on Automobile Operators.
The Board of Works recommended yes
terday to the Supervisors that no exami
nation or license be required of the ope
rators of any class of automobiles. The
board takes the stand that in examining
and licensing the operators the city, in
a measure, would take upon itself the
responsibility of insuring the fitness of
the licensee, thereby rendering itself to a
certain extent responsible for his or her
conduct; while placing an operator on
the same basis as any driver puts such
responsibility where it belongs and makes
the operator more careful, both of his
vehicle and of the safety of others.

APPEAL FOR AID
Schooner Long's Passen
gers Are Penniless
at Unalaska.
Seattle Chamber of Com
merce Will Move for
Their Relie£
SEATTLE. Nov. 27.— Advices from thfc
north bring news that the long overdue
schooner P.alph J. Long from Nome lies
stranded at Unalaska with 115 passen
gers. The vessel's larders are empty and
the passengers have spent all their money
to obtain the absolute necessities of life,
and they now appeal for help to the War
Department.
L. Frank Brown, a lawyer of this city,
presented a resolution to the Seattla
Chamber of Commerce to-day, giving the
facts in the oase and urging the necessity
for immediate aid for the unfortunate
passengers and crew. The members of tho
chamber were unanimously in favor of
acting at once and a request will bo made
to the authorities in Washington, asking
them to send a revenue cutter or some
Government vessel to bring down the
starving people.
The l.ong lies at Unalaska without
stores and the passengers and crew are
practically_ penniless. The vessftl reached
the port on October 5 with neither food
nor water aboard. Since that time the
conditions have grown from bad to worse.
The storekeepers at that point refuse to
advance enough provisions to allow the
schooner to reach Puget Sound, and tha
passengers are afraid to venture out in
a helpless condition.
Sent to Prison for Forgeries.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.— Charles L. Rol
ler, a former real estate deaier of New
ark. N. J.. was to-day sentenced by a
court In that city to seven years' impris
onment at hard labor and to pay a fine
of $1000 for forgring notes to the amount
of $50,000, which he had discounted at
banks. After the forgeries Roller became
a fugitive from justice. He was arrested
in Portland, Or., but succeeded in satisfy
ing the authorities there that they had
the wrong man, and he was released.
Yesterday he appeared in Newark and
gave himself up. In court to-day he
pleaded non-vult to the indictment against
him.

In "Herpicide" the New Scientific and
; : Successful Dandruff Treatment.
- Have you dandruff? Then you have
a "contagious parasite disease, unpleas-
ant, unhealthy and one that will event-
j ually l«ad to baldness. To cure It you
] must destroy the parasite that eats at
the root of the hair. The only prepara-
tion for destroying these germs is New-
bro's Herpicide. Charles Klein of Lar-
amie, Wyo., says: "Herpicide allayed
; the itching, cured the dandruff and
stopped my hair's falling out; and it is
bringing a new crop of hair." Herpicide
is free from grease or dangerous drugs,
and makes hair glossy and soft as silk.
i One bottle will convince you of Its merits.
