2 WEEDING THEM OUT. Robinson Released Two Men and Lo-t Anot her Game. Pete B-mmers Is Now Released et large, but Bases on Balls Have Cone to Stay. Frisco Defeated. Colonel Thomas Prodigal Robinson re leased two more of his ball-players yester day. lie hired a fresh one, however, and also chatted a little lv his usual happy vein, using the crown of his hat for a mouth piece while prattling with that artless inno cence which endears him to those who hearken. Robinson's new hired hand is a slender young man by the name of Loughran, who was engaged to till the vacancy caused by the summary ejectment of Sommers, alias BasesHßU-Balls Pete. Young Mr. Lough rin briki 1 Pete's best record right from the jump, and contributed eleven beautiful bases oa balls, which greatly enhanced '.he hilarity of the occasion and enabled the ■Senators to win by a score of 14 to 7. There was no mention of the Colonel's new twirler on the score-card, but the leatber-luoged hawkers of this publication were aware that the Colonel had another phenom, so they stood at the park gate and relied: "•K c's th* California Lea(TOe score-card! Complete list of the ulay- ts as they go to bases oa balls V- Messrs. McCloskey and McGuirk, the Sacramento base-ball firm, also sprung a new pitcher on an nnsnspectine public His name is (allan, and the shading of his hair is such that were he a girl he would be making dates with wiiite hordes. Callan is a pretty nucd pitcher himself, which is prob ably tlie reason the Colonel didn't sun him. Anyhow, lie placed ha bases-on-balls limit a; live -jikl kept within the bounds, lie was bit - rue, but not so much as Mr. Loughran, who is-ued a challenge every time be sent the ball over the plate. D] CSBB MIH- THE C'H-0M.1.. The two men released from the Oakland team -were Summers and Decker. Summers was discharged because the Colonel Hadn't tlie lie it t.i lire Pnenom lJalsz twice in one week. Decker is a first Baseman from .(oliet, who reached Oakland and the acme of base ball misery yesterday morning, Some time sno tlie Coluiiel sent seventeen tickets East fur men to come out anil join th- team. It now seems that these tickets were de layed ! where, but are beginning to bring forth ball-players. Decker «as the lirst As he aliaiited from the train at the Oakland iJepot, with a bag full of base hits in his baud, lie was met by his employer. "Kxcuse me, but is this Air. Decker?" ho asked with a pleasant smile. "That is my name, sir. Who ara you, may I ask "I'm Colonel T. P. Robinson, manager of the Oakland team, the one that tron the . pennant two 5 ears ago. Here, hold my cane while 1 make ont your release." When this little formality bad been con rlulcil the Colonel slatted off, but stopped abruptly and askeu: "Dill you notice any more players in the train you came out on?" Decker said he didn't remember seeing any mure. •■ Because if there were," added the Colonel, "1 might as well lire them while I'm bore." During the afternoon Mr. Decker viewed the game to determine if possible whether or not he had missed anything. While at Ttis i> ;rk the Colonel told Decker he released him because he didn't think he would fit into any of the uniform?. There are six teen more tickets to hear from, and the ColnnW is thinking of stationing an azent ;rt tiie depot to release them as fast as they come. O'.Vl ll.'s great itkad, Had Tip O'XciJ, who is related on ac count of his generaS-hiu, used his head for other purports than giving vent to dis cordant sound the Oakland* might have won tlie tii.e. They secured three runs in the first inning and their Mr. Lnuglirau had heJd t!:e Senators down to one run and four scattering hits up to the filth. Everything was looking lovely for the Col ci:el, but in the fifth his pitcher weakened. Jle as not been doing anything this season and his strength give out S>o tiie Steers bopped on to him and swatted out five hits, including two doubles and a triple, which, with three bases on balls, and some timely errors, netted six runs. Balsz, wbo is still under pay as far as we know, was present, and bid he been put in the bos the final re sult might have been '1 lifer. 'nt. But Lougii ran kput on and met with more misfortunes. In tiie seventh the visitors fell upon tlie Colonel's pitcher with grievous force and hammered in six tuoie tallies. The Oak lai di retaliated toward the last half of the giime. and pelted Mr. Callan quite freely, iMit they were too far behind to catch up. Callan is a smooth man in the box and twice cangDt runners napping at first There were six double plays in the came, tome due to stupid base-running and others to splendid fielding and clean throws. Hun key Hines executed a phenomenal catch in left field and doubled a runner at second. McClosk-y played left field fur the visitors, as Roberts is laid up with a game leg. Jack Godar arrived from Cedar Rapids last night, and will i lay third base, fur Oak land to-day if the Colonel can be kept away from him until the game gets under way. Dunzan is also comiac frmn Denver, and will play light field, vice Tip O'Neil pro lut-ti-U to manager. Followinz is the score : at us r&AKcisco, nnum 11, 1891. "HJ.IMjS. AB. B. BH. SB. PO. A. E.

"PAULINE BLANCHARD." A New Play Produced by 31 me. Bernhardt at the Grand. M. Darmont's play, which Mr. Henry E. Abbey read for the first time in Melbourne, was produced by lime. liernhardt and com pany at the Grand Opera Bouse, for the first time in America, before an audience not laree but apureciative. Recalls were very unanimous. The young actor-author is only 25 years of ape, and has contrived to treat the subject practically, and yet present us with a picture of peasant lile peculiar to the locality. lie is here on his own ground, and may safely be regarded as an expert, his childuooJ and much of his youth having been passed among the peasantry of France. There is an Indefinable flavor of Zola about the while composition, and in following the characters of Blanchard pere and Uadet we ire reminded of tie small, ambitious and intense selfishness that marked many of the people in that author's "La Terre. In painting this dramatic picture of French agricultural life. Dannout may have bor rowed some of hispiiimeiitsfrnm the realistic novelist Even the sickle of the book plays it part in the most important scene of the las) net of the drama. With that imple ment Pauline, in a fit of trenzy, cuts the iliroat of the husband. Cadet, whom she despises. To repeat the story, in brief: Francois, son of Jlarehal, is engaged to marry Pauline, daughter of BUncliard ; but he having been deposed from the mayoralty in favor of M.irehal, becomes so enraged that lie breaks off the match and compels his daughter to marry a lumpy, good-natured agriculturist called Cadet. Out of this condition of things grows the whole dramatic business, ending with the death of Pauline after she hail murdered her husband. Bern hatdt cann»t be said to be impressive as a domestic heroine, and although she has many strong scenes during the progress of the piece they fail to arouse that enthusiasm which is tailed out when she puts her grander con eel ti us into action— latter scenes of " Pauline Ulanchard" atfora Bernbardt tiie greatest scope for powers- The discovery of Pauline in the garret of her mini's cot- Cage, where sho becomes jealous of Francois and thinks he has deserted her, and the last scene of all, when she kills Cadet, She sur prises him, as he is sitting reading a pamph let, He asks her what she Is doing there, nnd with a sickle. She answers in a slow, quiet tone, like one in a dream, "I want you to die." For a moment he is shocked, but his course mind does not appreciate all that lies behind the utterance. In him the physical attraction is predominant. He has hold of both her wrists, and the contact of her warm flesh awakens all the lust of his brutal nature. Kissing her on the side of the neck in spite of her struggles, he draws her toward him. She resists and by so il ins only inflames his vi lent passion. Losing all control, he flings her arms over his shoulders, throw? his own around her body, and crushing her against him, kisses her on the lip*. By this action he has fre>d ncr wrist!. His back is against the table. With one hand she grasps his hair and thrusts his head backward, and seizing the sickle in the other, witti a single, blow cuts his throat. Some little difficulty was experienced la following the actors In the opening scenes on aceuuut of i've rapidity of their colloquial utterances, and the subdued tone in which they spoke. The performance* at date will be the last given by Mine, Berobardt and company in this city. At the matinee "Camille," and in the evening "Theodora." COIKT-iIABTIAL ORDERS.

The sentence was confinement at hard labor under the charge of a guard for one month. Private William Crouch of Company I) of the regiment located at Benicla Barracks sold on the stli ami Istli ult., for personal benefit, articles of underwear and :ilso a pair of campaign shoes, which cost Uncle Sim Si l 70. But to deceive his company commander in regard U> the missing clolb ing Private Crouch, on the date last named and upon an inspection of lii clothing, in formed Him that he had given some ol the missing articles to a certain enlisted man and that the others were in the wash. Crouch pleaded guilty. Sontence — For feiture of $10 pay and confinement at hard lab -r for one month. The next to plead guilty was Private IT^nry W.

To the first charge he pleaded "guilty without criminality," and not guilty to the second; but he was found guilty on both, and the record of six previous trftls and convictions having been read against him, lie was sentenced to be -honorably discharged. The proceedings and findings were approved, except the error in accept ing the first plea. The court should have directed the substitution of one of "not guilty," because if the offense alleged was without criminality, then there was no guilt PERSONAL ROTES. J. O.

Curtie, cr Stre'.linger, which is bis real name, was arrested at the corner of Filth and Folsoni streets either for drunkenness or disturbing the peace, lut when within a few yards ol the station resisted Officer Giant's efforts to fling him alonp. Grant was heard to say, "Come nl< ug, now," and an iustant later three pistol shots rang out iv rapid succession, and Grant fell dead with a bullet wound in the center of his forehead. From what the investigating officers could learn they believe that Curtis fired tha fatal shot while intoxicated, aud that there was no provocation for the mur derous act.

His defense will probably be a denial that he had anything to do with the tiring of the fatal shot Curtis looked exceedingly lmscard and wild-eyed as lift was taken into Police Court 1 yesterday to be arraigned on a charge of murder. At the r. quest of his attorneys the case was continued until Monday. Owing to a pressure ot business in Police Court 2 the preliminary examination will bo con ducted in Police Court 1.

There is no doubt but AicAulifle had mat ters arranged in such a manner that he would win in case the police interfered. The referee certainly did not do right by Gibbons in awarding McAuliffe the light. The result will assist, very materially, to finish fistic sports in the Granite Club. IEOyUOIS BRAVES.

THAT CHARITY FUND. The Grand Jury Now Looking Into the Scandal. The Graud Jury is now inquiring into the Firemeu's Charitable Fund, Concerning which there was such a scandal last Mar, when Supervisor Kllert, as Chairman of tne Finance Committee, caused au investiga tion to be made. It will be remembered that the fuid, amountini; nt that time to some S"uoo or SiSWK), hud been transferred into the safe keeping of John Dougherty, who eavo no security lor it, had not a dollar of rightiul interest iii it and who was not even a mem ber of the Fire Department. 'I he investiga tion developed the fact thai the money was hcin^ used by Dougherty and his political pals to preserve their supremacy in the de partment and run it as a corrupt political machine, lv fact, instead of devoting the fund to the purposes for which it was estab lished, it was beinu used as a sort of cam paign fund, aud Dougherty was made its custodian. All attempt was made by Supervisor El len to have the board take bold ol the matter and reorganize the fund. At first they hesitated, but finally decided to keep their hands i if, urging that it was not a matter over which the Uuard of Supervisors had any jurisdiction. Tne last heard of the matter In the board was Mr. Kllerl's promise to bring it before the Grauu Jury, lie lias kept His promise. The witnesses examined yesterday were District Attorney Barnes, l'roseculing At torney Niciiolson aud K. B. Vreeland. Mr. J!.trnes' connection with the case, it is understood, is that simply of having ad visea Mr. KUert lit the time of tne investi gation that the board had jurisdiction over that portion of the fund acquired from Po lice Court lines and by appropriation of the board. JSicholson's examination is sup posed to have been in relation to Police Court fines, and Vreeland's as to his kuowl edge of tbe fund, fruni having beeu at oue time Secretary of the fire.

As she walked away from the weighing machine, she sighted the card on top of the inouograpb, and theu it wan: " Oh, George, that is the 'Uutterfly Galop,' one of my favorites; 1 should love to hear it." George put another nickel into the machine, and aha went into raptures as she pressed the tube to Hit ears, She, dropped them with a sigh as the music ended, ami then she strolled over to the fruit-stand. "That candy looks just lovely. 1 believe it is better than that we had in the Pavilion," and of course George, took the hint, and for a few minutes the young lady was busy with 13 cents' worth of stuped sugar. George was anxiously watching the clock, and wondering what she would want next, lie was not kept loug in doubt, and he had to shell out for a glass of cider. "I know tl:at weighing machine is nut light," she exclaimed as George slowed the change away iii his pocket, "1 kuow I weigh more than that. Let us try the other machine?" Grorso produced another nickel as she stepped on the machine and her face was a study when the pointer indicated 1-0, and she declared trie machine * fraud. Pt-auut? was her next puich»se, and they veto washed down with a glass ot soda, while .rye wondered how much more she could hold. Once more she paid a visit to the phonocrapb, a.d then she wanted some chewing gum. A hard-hearted police man looked on with a broad grin on his face as George pmd for her last purchase. "Those bananas are just too nice for any thing," she exclaimed as she moved toward the trim-stand again, but at that moment the door opened and George took her by the arm and li-d her on board the boat with vis ions of I- rumps and cholera morbus Hunting lore his eyes, while the policeman was thinking of ringing in for the ambulance.

Hii Story of a Strange Con venation With Deputy Inspector Simon —A Report Sent to Washington. Wong Gee On. the Chinese forger of tha Thomas stamp, was released from custody yesterday on au order received from the de partment at Washington, and is now to be found in bis usual haunts in Chinatown. The. forgeries that resulted in the in carceration of Thomas and Lee Gee in the Count; Jail ate still fresh in the public mind, but tho guiding mind behiud the Chi nese automatons has remained a mystery, though considerable speculation lias been indulged in. These speculations were so closely followed that iv the revenue and Custom-bouse circles two factions were established, and these factions will not call a truce until the mystery has been solved and the originators of the nefarious scheme unveiled, liut the public is not apt to have to remain long in ignorance, for Wong Gee On is impressed that he has been made a tool of to the extent that bis liberty for years was Imperiled. He. talks freely. It will be remembered that on Friday, the 21st nit., the discovery of the Thomas stamp frauds brought forth fruit in the arrest of Lee Gee and Wong Gee On. At that time no one dreamed of any one being back of tha two Chinamen, but soou a rumor leaked out that the Collector of Customs, T. Q. 4Wm. Worm Ore On. Phelp*. and Collector of Internal Revenue, J. C. Quinn. as well as the deputies in both departments and the Special Agency of the Treasury, looked with suspicion on Special Kevenue Agent Thomas as being the forger of his own name. This rumor was bruited until through oft repeating it became an accepted truism, and Agent Thomas was placed with the burden of proof on his side. At last Wone Gee On made a verbal confes sion on the promise to Special Agent Evans that he would not be prosecuted, and it was this assurance that nullified his confession mill brought about his final release without proceedings being instituted against him. This turned the drift of rumors from Thomas. He was vindicated, but his vindi cation did not satisfy the orheerj, as the ru mored "white man," or "Ah Gow," as Wong Gee On called him. was still undis covered. All this time .Deputy Inspector C. I*. Simon, at whose house Lee Gee hud been arrested, was exceedingly zealous in ferreting out the frauds. Some said he was overzeulous, but be that as it may, his zeal caused him to be suspected in turn. Search was made of his record. His foot steps throughout Chinatown were followed. Theft after theft were found to have been perpetrated in raids on Chinese stores where be was present as an Inspector. He was called befort) an investigating committee composed of District Attorney Garter, Special Agents Evans «nd Eldrlclge, Collectors I'lielm and '.Juinu and detectives. The only question canvassed was bis pos sible connection with the frauds as their originator. What their finding was has not been made public, though it was presum ably in his favor, as he was not dismissed from the service. However, the work of sifting the frauds did not cease, and it promises to be morn lively now that Wong Gee On is accessible by the press and all interested in ferreting out Chinese opium frauds. Wong Gee On was visited last evening at his rooms on Sacramento street, by a Call reporter. He talked freely and seemed in the best of spirits over his release. He told the story, of the forgeries in a connected manner ami threw several side lights on the affair that will soon become a matter of de partmental investigation, as his story as stated last niicht in the presence of several witnesses will be sent by Consul-General Li Wing You to the Chinese Minister, who will in turn submit it to the department at Washington. He said he was induced to make the for geries, 8000 in all, by Lee Gee. He com menced work in July, and it took iron) twelve to foil rteen days to practice up and finish the lot. He then delivered them to Lee Gee. For this stupendous forgery he received S3 a thousand, or rather was to re ceivi*, as he has not yet been paid. tie said that at first he hesitated to write the stamps, but that a banquet was tendered him at Wing Lung's place, 707 Jackson street, a store in which Lee Gee was partner. The rest of the story is best given in his own words: '• \V hen Lee Gne and I were arrested we were taken to Special Agent Evans' room (7) in the Appraisers' Building. There we were shin in with Mr. Simon while Mr. Evans was out. Lee Gee and Simon seemed on i it t mate terms. Lee Gae said : 'You say Mr. Thomas gave you the rubber stamps and the samples, and that you did the for geries for him. Say ho gave them in front of the photograph gallery, 800 Stockton street, at night and that a few days after you delivered 8000 of them to him.' ••I hesitated; I was afraid. Then, Mr. Simon, he said, 'If you don't say Mr. Thomas did it I'll send you to jail.' Then I promised to say it. Then Mr. Simon said : 'Turn all the evidence against Mr. Thomas or we'll put yon in jail.' Then he turned to Lee Gee and said: 'Tell Wong Gee On to say that he delivered the .stamps on Friday, August 'Jlst, and not Wednesday, for Thomas was up in the country then and the story wont stick.' Lee Gee told me this in Chi nese, but I understood Simon's English." As a matter of fact, A cent Thomas had been in the country and had returned the day before late in the evening. He had been at Shasta, where he made one of the largest seizures of opium ever made in the interior, but up to the moment this alleged conversation took place the fact of his ab sence from the city was not known outside of bis and the Internal Revenue depart- inents. Wing Gee On also gave the additional In formation that Simon made his headquar ters at Wing Lung's store, where lie was banqueted and induced by Lee Gee to make the forgeries. He has his headquarters now most of the tin-.e in a subterranoau roonery at 'M% Waverly place. In the report from the Chinese Consul- General to his superior at Washington will be several cases of thefts of opium and money during raids by the Government In spectors in Chinatown. Three of these have not been made public In the press. The firm of Tsue Chong Wing, 715 Com mercial street, claimed to The Call re porter last night that Simon stole a five-tael can of Hong-Kong opium in a morning raid a few days singe. Hoo Lung, the Washington-street Theater dour-keeper, who resides at 811 Clay street, i-laims that Deputy Inspectors Simon and I'.ivi r made a raid in a neighboring cignr shon, then broke down the door of his room during iiis absence and stole a S'.'O gold piece.

FLOWERS OF THE SEA. Rare Collections of Ferns and Mosses Exhibited. The monthly meeting of the State Floral Society was beld yesterday afternoon at the rooms of the State Horticultural Bureau on Sutler street Mrs. L. O. Hodg kins presided. A long discussion was had concerning a location for the annual exhibition, which takes place in Octo her. Many of the mem bers are in favor of holding this exhibit in a tent put up in a central portion of the city, while others think that Pioneer Hall would be much better. Nothing definite resulted from the discussion, which was succeeded by a talk on the feasibility of publishing the meetings of the society in ■ fc*,'j&_ • -2 C-**/*_^Ji Captain Eellner react' hit paper on "Jft #»«." pamphlet form. This matter was finally referred to the Publication Committee with power to act. The members were very much pleased with a magnificent display of ferns aud sea mosse«, exhibited by Miss Mary J. West fall, and collected at Pacific Grove. The ex hibit included over one thousand sppci mens of these sea flowers, numbering about seventy-five varieties, ami is said to be the finest on the Pacific Coast It was conceded by all to be a collection of rare beauty and great value. Miss Westfall lias been engneed for four years in this york mid has discovered many new methods of drying and preserving these marine beauties, of which very little is known to those not conversant with the mysteries of marine botany. The specimens on exhibition yesterday were of all shapes and shades, from the pretty green network of sea lettuce, to the bright crimson of half a dozen rare pieces of kelp. In tne collection thcro are a num- ____. *\ r_Pw*SV-* t 7£ ' Crihrtztna the £lhlblti. ber of new pieces, wbich are to be classified as soon as possible. One specimen which looks like a sprig of alfalfa with leaves variegated with thorns, is to be called tbe Westfallia in honor of the discoverer. Miss Weitfall explained her method of gathering the mosses, which are found along the beach very early in the morning, also the fascination of the stud}'. The collection was visited last evenine by a number of prominent merchants, and will remain on exhibition for seven! (lays. Miss WVstfall was given a vote of thanks by the society and invited to prepare a paper on " Sea Mosses of the Pacific Coast," to be read at thn next regular meeting. OUft DADDY'S DOLLAR. Mass-Meeting of Free Coinage People at Metropolitan Hall. There was a mass-meeting last evening at Metropolitan Temple, of people favoring the free coinage of silver. Carl Browne called the. meeting: to order, and introduced J. W. Ilines of San Jose, who after a brief speech Introduced Senator William M. Stewart of Nevada. This gentleman de livered a lengthy discourse on free coinage, a review of the silver question from the time it became all issue in politics up to the present time. II« said that the silver issue had come to be a contest between the pro ducers and absorbers of wealth. The gold ring he denounced as a band of pirate*) ! 'lit on making slaves of the laboring classes and intent upon manipulating the laws in such a manner as to slop the coin age* of silver. John Sherman cot a severe scoring at thn hand of the speaker, for statin;; the mine owners demanded mure for their silver than its market value. This Senator Stew art pronounced to be a falsehood, and in troduced a long argument to prove its in correctness. At the close of the lecture the following resolution was adopted by a rising vote: Ketotved' That this mass meeting of the citi zens of Sin Francisco held In Metropolitan Tem pl» on Friday evening, September 11, 1801, un equivocally ami emphatically favors (he free and unlimited coinage of silver and asks Congress to pass the act necessity, and requests l'ie-kl.-nt Harrison to sign the bill and give the "people pleuty of good money."
