THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1895 DEATH OF A WELL KNOWN OAKLANDER. MAYOR PARDEE SCORES JO: DAVIE, THE POPULISTS' CANDIDATE. Elon D. Ormsby, the pioneer photog- rapher of Oakland, is no more. Early yes- morning surrounded by his sor- ng family, he passed away. The dead photographer came to Califor- nia in 1366, and a few years later made his ome in Oakland, where he embarked in usiness at the corner of Broadway and Eleventh street, establishing a reputation that not only made him envied by his etitors, but paved the road to suc- cess. \bout two Mr. Ormsby retired from busine: account of failing health \ ‘\\// g T L% N nesr aves a widow Miss Ivy I Byron nd two grown by and M. o’clock ence of n of the World d was en active Yours for Health." rs of the titution and the foilo .

In a speech last night Mayor Pardee an- swered Davie's charges at length. He said: “J. L. Davie, the Populist nominee for Mayor, has been g hout stating as facts thing are lies. It is high me Mr. lies were mailed, and I n that been ows that taxes under the I were $124 on the $100. of the present rate $1 is for sxpenses and 12 cents for interest tion of bonded indebtedness. 1ows it to be untrue when i iency of $250,- 000 in the city treasury. As a matter of fact, this is :0ld-blooded fabrication of Mr. Davie’s and all other cam o1 haign . is-worthy only of aolitical chariatan such as Mr. Davie'is. {r. Davie's campaign lies he City Council has spent ont suits and has ¢ as far as the Superior Jourt. es $75,000 to get the suits only as far as the Superior Court, how much will it take to get them to a decision in the court of last resort?’ ” “By this Mr. Davie means to intimate, though he dare not say so, that the council has paid $75, to have the water-front cases tried in the Superior Court, and that it will cost more money to take the cases to the higher courts— whence they will be appealed by the railroad when it gets the adverse judg- ment that the Superior Court will surely ive. In the first place the City Council as 1ot paid any $75,000 to_have the water- front suits brought, and Mr. Davie knew this when he said the opposite. Iu the second 1kvllace, it will not cost any more money than has been already paid to take the cases to the higher courts. Family Troubles. Ada Levick, one of the bright particular stars who is at present playing an engage- ment at the People’s Theater, has at last secured service upon Actor Levick in a suit for divorce brought in 1894. The ground for the divorce is extreme cruelty, and the plaintiff asks for $150 monthly alimony and the custody of their minor child. Mre. Carra M. Funke was granted a divorce from Bruno M. Funke by Judge Frick yesterday on the ground of extreme Plaintiff was awarded the custody of the minor child, with a $10 monthly allowance for its support. Keller Makes Affidavit. P. J. Keller, the nurservman of Pied- mont, returns to thieattack upon Constable Hitcheock, who arrested the sick man Samuel Brown on Tuesday last. Brown, Keller says, has been treated outrageously. He is 2 man unknown here, but he has'a rich brother in Indiana) , who has been communicated with. Brown still lies in a paralyzed state at the Receiving Hospital. Yesterday Edward Touchard, who is em- ployed by Xlr. Keller, made an affiaavit to the effect that Brown was taken from a Photog- | he beautifying of | e | uation of the propel v | Mrs. Dr. Fletcher, on Central avenue. | sick bed to the prison. Brown was taken in his nightclothes to the lockup. Another Home Industry. Manager J. W. Nelson of the Oakland Preserving Company, one of the leading | industries of the coast, is authority for the statement that the concern is soon to add a_meat-packing department, which will iziw- employment to about 200 additional hands. At present the company is only able to run a portion of the year, as they only can fruit and vegetables, but with the addit of their meat-packing machinery they w be enabled to run the entire year with a Yorking force of 800 men, womén and chil- ren. The Devil After Him. Fred Reed is the name_of a young man who imagines the devil is in pursuit of him. He was picked up meandering aim- lessly about last night and locked up at the County Jail. Reed, behind the bars, spends most of s time in singing, occasionally appealing Jailer White to protect him from the He was at one to devils in pursuit of him. He time addicted to the use of opium. To Clean the District. Ilealth Officer Mouser of the Temescal Lake District was yesterday appointed a deputy eonstable by Constable Kock, and | at once proceeded t0 serve notice on all the | parties about Lake Temescal whose prem- | 1ses drain inte the lake to clean up with- | out delay. Oflicer Mouser has given resi- | dents five days in which to comply with | the order. / 3 ALAMEDA, e — Inasmuch as Senate bill 24 has become a law it becomes incumbent upon the citi- 4bns of Alameda to elect a City Attorney and a City Clerk on the 8th of April. An interesting question has arisen how the Good Government Club can make a nomi- | nation for the office in view of the fact that | its list of nominees was closed last Thurs- day. It goes without saying that whoever runs for the oflice will have to present his nominating petition to authorize the City Clerk to place his name on the ticket. City Attorney Taylor and Clerk Millington were both in favor of the bill to make their offices elective and" will endeavor to_ suc- ceed themselves in their respective offices Tt is argued that aspirants for these two offices will havé to run independently with- | out nomination by the Good Government ‘lub, however much the nomination may be desired. Itis also contended that the cxecutive committee cannot name these int pla s uch power is given by the articles of association, and its powers and duties are limited. In view of the foregoing facts the Good Government Ciub cannot make nomina- tions for these offices unless #he articles of | association are suspended, which requires it every nomination shall be made at a | regular meeting of the club, and indorsed | by at least ten members one week before | the nominating convention, which takes place to-day.

A Home Destroyed. The residence of Mrs. Emma Sterrett, at the junction of Central and Alameda ave- nues, was totally destroyed by fire at an ¥ hour yesterday morning. The fire snot discovered until it f\nd a eood 8 It is thonght that the fire was of incendiary origin, as the drawers of the bureaus had been pulled out and ran- sacked.

Henrietta Tracy died yesterday from old age at the residence of her granddaughter, 1 She was a_native of Massachusetts and cele- brated her ninetieth anniversary only a few days ago. BERKELEY. The published rumors to the effect that the new charter has been invalidated on account of the Legislature adopting the section among others creating the office of Justice of the Peace by concurrent resolu- tion, while the constitution provides the office shall be created by 2 bill, has been proven to be false, at least to a reasonable { extent. The cases of the San Diego and | Oakland charters, in which the same i question arose, are cited by the friends of | Berkeley's charter in confirmation of their | assertions. Even if-the section is illegal it would not invalidate the rest of the | measure. 8till, to settle all doubts, the | Legislature will be asked to remove all | doubt in the premises and definitely settle ! the legality of the town’s new form of | government. | Independent Taxpayers. The first meeting of the campaign was held Tuesday night in the Hann block, when the executive committee of the Inde- pendent Taxpayers held a session. The members spent the evening in_discussing th mcthmi)of nominating the Town Trus- tees. The two methods most in favor con- sist of appointing fifteen delegates from nominations, or to hold ward primaries. After deciding to hold the convention April 6 the meeting adjourned. U. C.’s Win a Game. The University baseball team won its first game of the season yesterday by de- feating a nine from the Oakland High School. The score was15 to 8.

An attempt is being made to form a N. 8. G. W. parlor in Berkeley. A similar effort was made some time ago, but it fell through. DEATH OF PATRICK SLEVIN. He Was Fatally Injured by a Railroad Train. Patrick Slevin, who was struck by a rail- way train at Sunnyside on the 4th inst., died of his injuries yesterday afternoon At his residence, 2755 Harrison street. The deceased was the father of J.

S0LD 00T 70 A RIVAL CONGERN. A Los ANGELES INSURANCE AGENT SUDDENLY FORSAKES THE COMPACT. ANOTHER LOSS TO THE UNION. THE HoME COMPANY SECURES THE BUSINESS OF THE AMERICAN CENTRAL. In the insurance troubles the scene of action has been temporarily moved from this city to Los Angeles, where a clear victory over the board companies has been gained by a non-union manager. A southern agent representing the Ameri- can Central Insurance Company of St. Louis sold out his business to the Home Company, of which Arthur E. Magill is general manager for the Pacific Coast. The price paid by the Home Company is said to be $5000, which fact indicates that the business of the Los Angeles agent is quite large and of sufficient importance to have a decided influence on the local fight. The American Central Company, whose Pacific Coast general manager is Charles Christensen, belongs to the Board of Fire Underwriters, while the Home is one of the strong companies not in the compact. The former has a paid-up capital of $600,000, while the latter’s capital is $3,000,000, and the business of each stands in a similar ratio. With this much in view, some local managers have concluded that the union agent succumbed to the non-board com- pany in the fight that knows no quarter with regard to rates. stensen of the American Central Company went to Los Angeles vesterday for_ the purpose -of making a prompt investigation. is agent in that city has a large number of friends, brought considerable business to his concern and as a matter of course, could turn the pat- ronage to another company. The assistant manager here admitted that the Los An- geles agent had sold out to a non-board company, but was of the opinion that he did not get quite as much_as $5000. Fur- ther than that he would admit nothing. Rumor has it among the managers that the American Central’s Southern agent was not satisfied with his prospects under the fierce opposition of such powerful companies as the Phenix and Home under Magill's manacement, the Continental and others which are out of the compact, and that he decided to take time by the fore- lock and sell out to one of his rivals, Members of the Board of Fire Under- writers would not discuss this latest turn in the present strained relations between them and their opponents. But some of the independent agents and managers hold that it is one of many events now occurring which will eventu- ally disrupt the board. Another difficulty that has arisen through the Sun Company’s cutting rates in Oakland against the German-American, both board companies, was discussed by the board yesterday. The Sun’s Oakland agent sold out his business to the German- American for $1000. When the Sun man- ager learned what had taken place and saw his business slipping away he began to cut rates in violation of a rule prohibiting board members from cutting against one As the result of the meeting the Sun manager will have to appear to-day to defend his action on a charge of deliber- ately violating a rule of the compact. A" belief prevails among several man- agers that In case the board should break up the managers of British companies will form a combine of their own and hold no intercourse with American or German cum{mhws, but the British managers would not admit that such a course was contemplated. HOW MULES GO TO SEA. A Few of the Difficulties Experienced in Shipping Them. A mule is—well, a2 mule is what nature intended him to be, whether at sea or ashore, and his mind is as immovable as the eternal hills. Abouta dozen of this in- corrigible species was embarked yesterday on board the bark Annie Johnson, con- signed to Honolulu, and the difficulty un- dergone by the vessel's crew in persuading the home-loving animais to quit their native stable was enough to drive the ay- erage gentle, patient, long-suffering sailor- man mad. The first trial was getting the mules down to the water front. The saline smells of the bay were not agreeable to mule nostrils, and the forests of masts, fes- tooned with things that looked like halter ropes, was not a pleasing object to mule eyes. And then the Annie Johnson her- self appeared uncanny and decidedly un- certain as a mule habitation. Moreover the Hawaiian Islands, aside from the fact that they were 700 leagues away, was not a place where mules could expect to be happy; consequently they objected with menacing heels and plaintive brays to such forceful deportation. On the wharf cages or portable stalls had been rigged, and into these secmingly in- nocent contrivances it was confidently ex- pected that the mules would walk with all the submissiveness of the proverbial lamb. But the mule generally does not walk that way, and these twelve were no exceptions to ‘the rule. They ‘‘shied” at the hos- itable-appearing stalls, and their lively Becls kept the, dock clear more effectively than a whole detail of harbor police conld have done. Mind finally triumphed over mule matter and they were caged. Then came the “swing” aboard, and it is safe to say no such frantic animals were ever before seen. Every turn of the steam-winch lifting them through the air hrought out the most earnest kicking possible in the muscles of a mule. The planks of the strong structure resounded in a thunderous tattoo from the swinging hoofs, and the splinters flew over bark and bay. But even mules must give away to man, and the mechanical means he brings to aid him in his nefarious schemes, and the exiles were all securely stabled on the deck. Several of the crew were more or less kicked for their officiousness in forcing mules to leave their natal heath, but the Annie Johnson got her cargo and they are prob- ably now pleasantly engaged in kicking her rail overboard, while the good bark bounds away over the ocean. THE RAILROAD MULOTED. Imitators of Stop-Over Robinsen Win Their Cases. Justice of the Peace Barry gave judg- ment against the Southern Pacifie Com- pany in two suits that were tried before him yesterday. The testimony wasalmost identical with that given in the many actions of Dr. Robinson against the cor- poration, and the suits hinged on the right of the railroad to refuse stop-over privileges on tickets from San Francisco to Oakland or Alameda. The first suit was that of C. H. Loomis, whose right to stop over at Broadway, Oak- land, on a ticket from San Francisco to Alameda was denied by the company. He was given damages in the sum of $200. Thomas D. Pool, on a similar complaint, was awarded damages in the sameamount. gty b il OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. Mrs. Abbie J. Hunter Testifies in Her Own Defense. The preliminary examination of Mrs. Abbie J. Hunter, president of the Women'’s Real Estate Investment Company, was continued before Judge Joachimsen yester- day. Attorney Smith, for the defendant, said he was perfectly willing and had been will- ing, before Mary O’Donnell swore to’| the complaint, to give her a deed to the lot in question, or the exact amount the lot would cost the company. This the com- plaining witness had declined to accept. he sole reason for the prosecution lay in the fact that the company had an agree- ment with the Sunnyside Land Company to pay $380 for each lot, and they were sold for $600, a profit of $220, hen Miss 0’Donnell found that she was paying more for her lot than_the (‘nmpan{ was paying to the Sunnyside Company she wanted her money back. 7 : Mrs, Hunter testified that in June, 1894, Miss O'Donnell wanted her money back, but never said that she wanted a deed, or offered to pay up the balance due. At the time Miss O’Donnell said she was ready to pay up the balance she was asking the wit- ness not only for the money she had paid on the lot, but for $50 from witness, which was given her. Witness contradicted Miss O'Donnell on other points. Letters were produced from Miss 0'Don- nell showing that she was hard up in the country, nnfi wanted §50 to start a Emndry. The Judge continued the case fora week when argument of counsel will he heard. N0 TIDINGS OF THE COLUSA THE VESSEL IS FORTY DAYS OVER- DUE FROM TACOMA FOR SHANGHAL CAUGHT IN THE BIG GALE WHICH SENT Two COLLIERS TO THE BoTTOM. The American bark Colusa, bound from Tacoma for Shanghai, is ninety-three days out and grave fears are entertained for her safety. She left Tacoma on December 3, with a cargo of lumber on board, and has not been spoken or sighted since. Five days after she suailed the most frightful storm ever experienced on the coast set in, and for four raged with unabated vio- lence. All coastwise vesseis between here and the sound which were out at the time were anxiously looked for, and anxiety for their welfare only ceased when they were safely in port. It was in this storm that the overladen colliers Montserrat and Ke- weenaw went down with all hands on board, and it is feared by many that the Colusa has met the same fate. n average time to Shanghai for such a vessel is fifty days, and it is difficult to put a limit on the yoyage to the westward, and the George F. Manson, fleet craft as she is, occupied over eighty days on her last voy. age to the Orient. The Colusa is owned b, George F. Smith & Co. of this city and i commanded by Captain Backus, who is very well known on the coast. Mr. Smith said yesterday that he was not worried by the long voyage of the bark and cited the run of the Manson as a criterion for trips across the Pacific. ““It took the erack bark George F. Manson eighty-two days to go to Shanghai,” said he, “and the Colusa is a slower boat. The underwriters do not share Mr. Smith’s confidence in the safety of the long-overdue bark. From time to time the wreckage of some tnknown vessel has been shed ashore near the sound and unac- counted-for derelicts have been sea. It is feared that some of tl age belonged to the Colusa, but on the other hand it is argued that if the vessel were wrecked some of her lumber wonld have turned up. Still, with all the argu- ments in the vessel's favor, the fact exists that she is more than forty days overdue at Shanghai, The Colusa is, or was, one of the best known vessels sailing in or out of port. Sheis an old-timer: having) beenton ths coast for nearly twenty years. She was built in Bath, Me., in 1873, and was for- merly owned by Stevens, Baker & Co., who ran her between this port, New York and Liverpool until she was bought by George F. Smith & Co. She is 1188 tons gross and 1129 net, and is 197:9 feet in length, 38:8 feet breadth of beam and 24:2 feet in depth of hold. She carried double topgallant ards, [double topsail yards and a main skysail yard. A peculiarity about her was her high jibboom and bowsprit. Tt is esti- mated that the hull. is worth $20,000, and ship, cargo and freight are insured in the Home Mutual Insurance Company and re- insured in other concern: Sentenced to Six Months. Thomas F. Tiernan, a well-known lounger around the City Hall, was yesterday sentenced to six months in { hegCounty Jail for petty lar- ceny. He stole an ove coat belonging to Charles Welsh from the Supervisors’ room last Thursday nightand pawned it. In his pocket was found a pawn-ticket for an umbrella. The police recovered the umbrells. Itisa valuable silk one with an ivory handle and a silyer ferrule. An inscription on the ferrule had been scratched out, but “San Rafael” is faintly visible. The police believe that Tiernan stole it. s e Jake Rudolph in Court. Jake Rudolph appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday morning to answer to the charge of assault to murder, preferred by J. B. Eliot, cashier in the Chronicle business office. As the defendamt's attorney, A. J. Clunie, and Reuben Lloyd, special counsel for the prosecu- tion, were not present the matter was put over tll this morning. Rudolph hes not yet sccured bondsmen. Arrived. WEDNESDAY, March 6.

BREAKERS AREAD FOR FLORENCE. LATEST MOVE OF OPPOSING AT- TORNEYS IN THE BLYTHE CASE. MRS. SARAH DAVIS' CLAIM. Ir Wi BE TAKEN TO THE FED- ERAL SUPREME COURT IF NECESSARY. The Blythe case is not dead yet. Itis only slumbering, and the awakening may be equally as sensational as the original trial. There is but one serious obstacle to the settlement of the estate, and that is the claim of Sarah Davis, which is being slowly but steadily rushed toward the Su- preme Court. The bill of exceptions is now under con- ideration by the attorneys for all parties immediately interested and in a few days it will be filed. Sarah Davis is the sister of the Savages, William and David, but unlike them, she had not appeared in the case until last De- cember, when-Judge Coffey issued an order for the distribution of the estate. Sarah Davis, with many others, then appeared, but all claims were set aside and the order was made in spite of the protest: The rights of Mrs. Davis were of a different nature from those of the others, however, and she has therefore commenced pro- ceedings on appeal. To answer the pro- tests of the opposing parties the attorneys for Mrs. Hinckley, then Florence Blythe, submitted the judgment rendered by | Judge Coffey in July, 1890, and upon this evidence the court finally closed the case ana made the order. Mrs. Davis’ position was that of an en- tirely new suitor, and therefore she, through her attorney, J. Lyons, ex- cepted to the introduction as evidence against her claim of & judgment rendered | in an action to which she had not been a arty. The Savages had been drawn into he case by the original summons, which mentioned each one except Mis. Davis, and as no new contestants were allowed in under the ruling of the court during the trial of the case, she had no chance to pre- sent her claim until the estate came up for final distribution last December. In support of Mrs. Davis claim her | counsel relies upon the decision rendered | by the Supreme Court upon the apveal, | and also upon the fact that she has never had a hearing in court. Upon this latter point are based the grounds for an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, upon the provision of the constitution granting to every one a lawful hearing. In the other point is contained the evidence given upon the trial of the original contest. In rendering its decision the Supreme Court refused to consider that Florence Blythe had been legally adopted by | Thomas Blythe, but it was decided that she was entitled to the inheritance because of four letters which Blythe had written and which apparently acknowledged her | as his heir-at-law. These four letters were | written in the presence of W. H. H. Hart, Florence’s attorney, as his testimony shows, but the attorneys opposing were not allowed to test his credibility in the | ways usual in court. Upon these letters rests the bulk of Mrs. Hinckley’s claim | upon the estate, and these letters restin a great measure upon Hart's testimony for their authenticity. A retrial of the case will therefore virtually be an investigation of the life and doings of Mr. Hart under the privilege of testing his veracity as a witness. A retrial of the case is exactly what the attorneys for Mrs. Davis hope for, and if their contention, that they have the right of trial for théir elaim and the right to test the single witness to these important let- ters be declared sound, the case will have to be retried, at least so far as they are concerned. Should the case be sent back for retrial all those who apFenred and who came under the original judgment will be dis- barred irom entering, but the State has never been included in any of the judg- ments and it is more than probable that it would figure largely in the case. Its last chance to appear occurred when in Decem- ber last the order for final distribution was issued, but at that time Mr. Hart was Attorney-General as well as counsel for the successful litigant, and so the State's claims of escheat have never seriously passed. At present Mr. Hari and Garber, Boalt & Bishop, Florence’s attorneys, are wrestling over the bill of exceptions'to the distribution proceedings submitted to them by Mr. Lyons. When this is set- tled the Blythe case will once more appear in the Supreme Court with a new lease of hfe and with fresh points of law and fact to be adjudicated. MILL VALLEY'S DISOOVERY. It Will Soon Blossom Out as a Health Resort. Mill Valley is to be turned into a sani- tarium. A medicinal mud well has been discovered there and a syndicate will be formed to build a large hotel in order to accommodate the large crowds which are expected to throng there. One of the resi- dents started to (‘f a well a few months ago. When he had descended ten feet a stratum of mud was reached. For over a hundred feet the drill was sunk, but nothing but a semi-liquid mass could be found. Samples were taken to San Fran- cisco for analysis, and itjwas found to be highly impregnated minerals that are beneficial in many diseases. Mill Val- ley now expects to vie with Paso Robles and other such places as a health resort. LATEST MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses were issued by the County Clerk yesterday B. J.
