Corinthian Fleet Beturns From An

Biver.
Yesterday was a Quiet day among the
yachtsmen of San Francisco Bay. Some
of the boats of the California and San
Francisco clubs cruised in the upper bay,
dropping anchor at Paradise Cove.
Among the Corinthian yachts which
were cruising were the yawls Seven Bells,
Frolic and Phyllis, and the sloops Genes
ta, Clara, Fleetwing and Merope. Many of
the neet lay at moorings all day. Frank
Stone's sloop Presto was under way, as
also was Robert Vincent's yawl Iola of
the California Yacht Club.
The Corinthian yachts which were on
the annual cruise up tne Sacramento
River last week had a hard time to make
their moorings yesterday, as the breeze
was light and a flood tide was running
strongly. The sloop Clara started on Sat
urday night from Tiburon and dropped
anchor off Marin Islands. The Corinthian
yachts due to return yesterday were the
t-loop Emma, which carried Commodore
E. F. Sager's flag during the up-river
cruise; the sloops Speedwell, Belle, Josle,
Meteor, Aeolus and Sea Fox. A good
breeze was blowing in the channel, but
elsewhere little wind was stirring.
Some men have to go broke before they
will attempt to break themselves of bad

Webber was a member of the firm of
Webber, Butts and Weske and was one of
the foremost practitioners In Sonoma
County. He had been out with a party
cf friends Saturday night and did not re
turn to his apartments until after 7
o'clock yesterday morning. That was trrb
last seen of him by his friends. He had
partially disrobed preparatory to retiring,
but the bed had not been used. When
discovered one of his arms and his head
were resting against a trunk and the
other arm stretched out under the bed.
There was a slight discoloration oT the
neck as if made by striking the trunk in
falling.
Webber was born in Jefferson County,
Wisconsin, In 1S69. He served for a time
as claims' clerk of the Santa Fe Rail
road at Topeka, Kansas, and came to
Santa Rosa about twelve years ago. For
several years he sold sewins machines
in this vicinity -while pursuing the study
of law. Shortly after he «was admitted to
the bar he was elected to the office of City
Attorney. He was re-elected to the posi
tion, but resigned the office to become
District Attorney, having been chosen to
the higher position. He was prominent in
State and county politics and occupied a
high place in the councils of his party.
About eight years ago Webber was
married to Miss Anna E. Ross, from
whom he was subsequently divorced.
Webber's death is believed to have been
due to heart failure. He was afflicted
with somnolence and frequently would
fall asleep while talking. He recently
waa reported lost in the wilds of Mendo
cino County where he was hunting with
a party of friends. For several days he
was not heard from, but was finally found
enjoying good health.
Coroner Frank L. Blackburn of Peta
luma was notified of the death and will
hold an inauest to-morrow morning.
Webber was a member of the Elks, the
Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Knights
of Pythias The funreal will take place
under the auspices of the Elks. He had
no relatives living on this coast.

Sample was 34 years of age, a native of
Ireland and livea with his family. He
had been a special offlcer for several
years. /
Robert A. Sample, the special offlcer
who -was sliot on Folsom street, between
First end Second, early Tuesday morn
ing, died at bis residence, 4230 Twenty
third street, yesterday morning about - 7
o'clock and the body was removed to the
Morgue. Imine<Iiately after Sample's
death Charles Sullivan and John H. Pow
ell, th« two young men arrested at the
tin* by Policemen Nobmann and Clark,
and who have been in prison ever since,
were booked for murder.
SampJe in his ante-mortem statement ac
cused Sullivan of having fired the two
shots that hare since proved fatal. He had
been notified by Martin Kelly that two
young men were beating a man at Second
and Clementina streets, and on going
there found the aggressors were Sullivan
and Powell. He told them to go home
and they walked along Folsom street to
ward First and stepped into a doorway.
Sample followed tnem and In his state
ment he said that Powell Jumped out of
the doorwar and struck him. He drew
his club to defend himself, when Sullivan
threw him to the sidewalk. SulUvan took
Sample's revolver from him and fired two
shots at him whi'-p he lay on the side
walk and both bullets pierced his head,
one lodging at the base of the brain and
fracturing the skull.
Sullivan and Powell were arrested about
100 feet away from where Sample lay and
the revolver was found near them. Sulli
van had been in trouble before, but
nothing was previously known against
PowelL
The car came to a standstill when the
fuse blew out. .The motorman and the
conductor soon regained their presence
of mind and assured the passensers that
they were in no danger. Mr. and Mrs.
Kenny and the other two ladles recov
ered after a time and proceeded on their
way in another car. Miss Vinal was sent
to her home. Her injuries though painful
will not prove fatal.
The passengers were terrified for none
of them knew the nature of the" sudden
explosion. Mrs. Kenny fainted, and the
two ladies from Sacramento became hys
terical, and were too frightened to make
their way from the car. .Miss Vinal re
tained her presence of mind sufficiently
to rush out on the platform and as a re
sult she was seriously burned about the
head. ¦ •
The peculiar accident happened so sud
denly that the few passengers in the car
and the motorman and conductor were
taken entirely unawares, and for a time
the carmen were so excited that they did
not know what had happened. It is for
tunate that the car was not crowded, for
if it had ' been a panic would have re
sulted.
In the car at the time were Frank
Kenny and his wife, Miss Alice
and two ladles from Sacramento re
fused to give their names. The passen
gers had no inkling of what was about
to happen, when suddenly^ as the car was
rounding the corner, a n^me shot out
¦from the rear and enveloped the entire
car.
As car number 713 of the Ellis and
O'Karrell street electric line was rounding
the corner of Devisadero and Oak streets
late yesterday afternoon, a fuse suddenly
ttlew out. In a twinkling the car was
enveloped in flames. One woman fainted,
two became hysterical and a young girl
was badly burned about the head.
In other words, he placed the entire matter
in my hands for adjustment. This person who
brings the suit against me* was duly notified
of my appearance in the nxtter. and not being
able to *ecure my client's address 6he sent
various parties to my office in an effort to
secure the fame. My client having finally
sent me $250 to be paid on the claim, I
promptly remitted it to the creditor, together
with a letter informing her that If she per
sisted In giving me any further annoyance
about the matter «he would be compelled tw
wait much longer.
She paid no attention to my warning, and
as a remilt she hat been forced to wait for
final settlement. I am informed that she con
tends that my letter to her is in effect a.
promise on my part that she would receive her
money and therefore the suit is brought
against me. It goes without saying that there
is no liability on ray part either in law or
in fact.
Attorney George D. Collins has in prep
aratlon bis answer to the complaint filed
Saturday by Norine Collins, In which she
prays for Judgment against the attorney
for $350, which sum, it Is alleged, the
plaintiff advanced defendant during the
last four years.
la the answer, in which Attorney Col
lins will dispose of the report that the
pialctiff is his sister, by citing the fact
that he has no sister, he will make the al
legation that the money involved was ad
vanced by Miss Collins to a client who
'will return shortly from the gold fields
cf .Alaska,
Speaking of the action yesterday, Mr.
Coll'ns said:
In the first place the person alluded to is not
my sister nor any other relative of mine. I
have not more than a business acquaintance
with . her, arising from the fact that she
loaned to a client of mine certain sums of
money. It was not convenient for him to re
pay at the times she demanded repayment and
he consulted me about the matter, stating his
willingness to settle and desiring time to do
so.
The Pilgrim Sunday-school offers to children
and young people great opportunities to be
long to a faith where you do not have to un
learn anything, do not have to discuss creeds
or theologies only to live a life of Godliness —
a life that shall make good living, good help
ing and cood service for all mankind.
Now, if there is anything larger .than we
have to offer we want that larger thing. The
universal fatherhood of God, the universal
brotherhood of man, the leadership of Jesus is
the personification of righteousness — the ulti
mate triumph of right over wrong.
What is there lamer?
The men that made the history of this Sun
day-school make up a splendid list. There has
not, Indeed, been a single movement for the
uplifting of this city for fifty years that has
not had graduates of this Sunday-school >n the
forefront. And let me eay that you might go
to any one of forty or fifty cities of America
and find that the men, insignificant in num
ber in proportion to the population, the men
who are in the liberal churches, are the cap
tains of the movements that go to make for
the moral uplifting of that community.
Forty.'or fifty years ago Starr King and Ho
ratio Stebbins preached in San Francisco the
very things that are being proclaimed by
every progressive thinker in the pulpits of this
city to-day.
What we need is to guard our children
against the gross selfishness; and rank injus
tices of society.
TO GUARD THE CHILDREN.
The social and political troubles of the pres
ent day can nnd their solution only in such a
spirit.
We as a people have been trusting too much
to smartness and mental acumen.. But what
our young people and children need is a tight
spirit, a sensitive conscience and a deep rev
erence.
The fiftieth anniversary of the Pilgrim
Sunday-school was celebrated at the First
Unitarian Church yesterday morning.
Hundreds of children attired in pretty
light gowns, alike appropriate to the oc
casion and the beautiful day, swarmed
around the handsome edifice hours before
the ceremony began.
At 11 o'clock the church, which had been
handsomely decorated, was filled to over
flowing, and with an organ voluntary and
hymn and prayer the exercises began.
Charles A. Murdock, the Sunday-school
superintendent, presided and led the
juvenile congregation in the beautiful
hymn, "'Come Forth and Bring Your Gar
lands," which was quite appropriate in
view of the gift of a bouqufet and a plant
to each child. •
At the conclusion of the first part of the
exercises a historical} account of the Pil
grim Sunday-school was graphically told
oy Mr. Murdock, who gave reminiscences
of men who had labored for the advance
ment of children in the cause of right
eousness and the upbuilding of upright
lives in the community.
Besides Murdock some other speakers
were Horace Davis, Wendell Easton and
George and Aurelius Buckingham and Dr.
Van Orden, each giving an interesting ac
count of the Sunday-school and telling of
Its progress from the day of its humble
origin to its present sturdy 'growth and
power in the community.
ADVOCATES MORAL TRAINING.
Murdock showed that numerous of the
most prominent men of the city had been
members of that Sunday-school, and not
a few had gone to other parts of the land
buoyed and strengthened by the religious
and moral training assimilated at the Pli
grim Sunday-school. \
Following Mr. Murdock came the Rev.
Bradford Leavitt with a stirring address,
in which he appealed for morality, for
%:>nscience and for patriotic training in
the youth of San Francisco.
Mr. Leavitt said among other things:
There Is a growing conviction that what
America most needs to-day Js not more smart
men, but more good men. fatudents of sociol
ogy, leading educators, university presidents,
clergymen and writers are proclaiming that we
must have Improved methods of teaching re
ligion and morality. Having taken religious
teachings out of the public schools, we must
see to it that it is taken care of somewhere,
either in the home or in the church. ¦
