The Alameda County Good Roads Asso- ciation met at the Reliance Club on Tues- day evening and discussed plans for the improvement of Oakland’s streets. The CAL] stand on the Oakland-San_ J bor ard matter was indorsed, and it was decided to takedefinite steps in the matter as soon as a meeting of representative horsemen, wheelmen and property-owners can be called and plans organized. With thisend in view, a resolution was adopted instructing President Britton to send out circular letters to all who may be interested in the project, requesting them to be present ata meeting to be held at the Reliance Club at 8 o’clock on the even- ing of the inst. Heir to a Fortune. P. F. Benson, the attorney, who gained some prominence through his connection with the Boogar case, was_notified yester- day by a London attorndy that he had fallen heir to a claim against the British War Office of £175,000. The letter stated that the money was due Sir John Benson, a general in the Crimean war, and that the estate of the latter had never collected the claim. Mr. Benson is the direct heir to the estate. The English solicitor stated that it would be necessary for Mr. Benson to go to London to attend to the matter and he will start as soon as he can arrange his business. A Child Killed. Word was received by the Coroner last nijght that John Alavado, a child, 2 years old, had been killed at Niles by a runaway team. The little one with his mother was crossing the road near the station when the team broke away from the post to which it was hitched and started down the road at a high rate of speed. Mrs. Alavado made a desperate effort to save the child but was too late and the baby was crushed beneath the wheels.

The Bacon Land Company property on the east side of Washingion street, be- tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, was increased from $149,750 to $195,000. Mrs. M. A. Blake, southeast corner of Twelith and Washington streets, increased from $59,750 to $92,300. Crellin Hotel, Tenth and Washington streets, from $41,250 to $65,250. The assessed value of dozens of other properties was increased, though not in so marked a degree, and in almost every in- stance the value of improvements was slightly decreased. The aggregate raise in assessments so far will amount to nearly $2,000,000. Among the cor] gessed is the Oakland, San Leandro and Haywards Electric Company, which has Leretofore paid taxes on $137,000. Mr. Dalton says that while he was a member of the City Council the attorney for the company stated that the road cost $750,000 to build. He will give the com- puny a substantial raise, though he hasnot @s yet investigated the matter thoroughly enough to say how much it will be. The Cottell Damage Case. The case of Frank Cottell, the lad who was injured on April 6, 1893, when the railroad ticket-office at the footof Broad- way was hauled ‘to the corporation-yard, resumed in the Superior Court yester- The boy was placed on the stand and tes- tified that he was in the crowd that was watching the procession pass along the street,when he was struck down by a m, to which was attached a bell, which had fallen from the roof of the structure. He stated that ever since theaccident his siil;t had been affected and that he was - guently subject to pains in the head and in other parts of his body, which had been wounded by the falling beam. The suit was brought on the ground that the city, through its officials, violated the ordinance which requires a permit from the Board of Public Works before buildings can be removed. The city on the other hand claims that the boy was violating an ordinance that prohibits boys from being on the street “fter 8 o’clock by remaining on Broadway Among | 500.

A meeting of the Associated Students was held yesterday afternoon to formulate plans for tendering a reception to Gov- ¢ | ernor Budd. Professor Jones addressed the meeting and urged that the colleges at Berkeley and the affiliated colleges in San Francisco join as a unit in doing honor to the dis- | tinguished graduate of the university. His remarks were heartily received. The date upon which the reception is to | be given has not yet been decided upon. It will be tendered at the pleasure of the Governor. Lieutenant Winn, who is at the head of the military department, has signified his willingness to hold the competitive drill and general review of the department on | any day that the Governor can be present. It was recommended that upon the date set for the review and inspection a recep- tion and lunch be given in the Assembg' hall from 12 to_2, the drill to take place from 2 to 5, and another reception be held in the gymnasium at 6 o’clock, when ad- dresses will be made by prominent mem- bers of the faculty and alumni. The president of the Associated Students | was authorized to appoint a committee of seven from the stnasnts’ body, ineluding the presidents of the four respective classes, whose duty it shall be to arrange the de- tails of the reception. It is expected that some date near the | 25th inst. will be chosen as the time for the | reception. { Resignation Accepted. | The board of regents ot the university | accepted the resignation of Professor | Harold Whiting of the physics depart- ment on Tuesday afternoon. He will leave the university immediately after the com- pletion of the May examination and_will ake his family to their old home in Cam- | bridge, Mass., where he will devote his ;)}l(lrk time to writing a work on “General | Physics.” . | He leaves with the good will of every | member of the faculty and at his own | request. i Two Daily Deliveries.

Columbus Waterhouse has been sued by the Pacific Bank to recover $1700, which he is charged with taking from the vaultsof the bank after its doors were closed on June 23, 1893. Waterhouse admitted at the recent trial of R. H. McDonald Jr. for perjury that he had secured what he could after the meeting of the directors resolving to suspend payment, and on this testimony chiefly is the present suit brought. . WILL STAND BY ITSELF, A New Set of Orders Issued for the Benefit of the Salva- tion Army. A BYe SURPRISE T0 ALL The Members Must Not Affiliate With Churches or Secret Socletles. Some weeks ago General Booth, who con- ceived the idea of the Salvation Army, spent several days in San Francisco, and during that time he delivered a series of lectures on what the army had done and what they proposed to do. In a lecture delivered at Metropolitan Hall, General Booth among other things said: “The Salvation Army is in no sense a church, nor will it ever be merged intoa denominational body so long as I have anything to do with it. The army has its mission to perform and can do it without conflicting with the church.” General Booth has either turned front or his lieutenants, Ensign Wood of the Oak- land Training School and Captain McFee of the local social wing, are advocating re- forms and promulgating rules not laid down in the order-book. Ensign Wood is credited with saying that it has always been a rule of the army that a soldier could not join a secret society and retain his membership with a church, though the rule until recently had never been en-: forced. General Booth has now issued a mnefv order, says Ensign Wood, calling upon all the officers to rigidly enforce the law. Captain McFee says that he bas never heard of such a rule, neither has General Booth instructed him to draw the line on soldiers retaining their membership with churches on 'iu'mmg secret orders. What Captain McFee says about the matter, however, equally as interesting as Ensign Wood’s talk about the General's sweeping order. Captain McFee said yesterday : 1 think Ensign Wood has been misquoted, for I know of no such rule in the order- book, neither has General Booth written me on the subject. 1 wantto say, however, that I do not think a man can serve two masters—that is the church and Salvation Army. When a man joins our ranks he pledges his word to devote 0 us. We are n 3 all of his time and money church just as much as _the Methodist, Baptist or any other denomination. A man cannot be- longto a Methodist and Baptist church at the same time, cen he? Then I claim that a soldier cannot combine church with his army obliga- | tions. When a man comes to us he signsa iiv.c!nmtwn, & portion of which reads as fol- ows; “Believing solemnly that the Salvation Army has been created by God, and is sustained and | directed by him, I' do hereby declare my full | | determination by God’s help to be a true sol- dier of the army iill I die. Ido hereby declare that I will spend all the time, strength, money and influénce I can in supporting and carrying on this war.” Now, &s regards secret societies I am opposed to them, because [ claim thata man cannot be a Christian hampered by secret obligations. | Something in the oath he takesis bound to | conflict with his Salvation Army duties, and therefore he is compelled to do violence to his conscience for the benefit of one of these insti- | tutions. 1 was a Mason once, but I found that I could not be a Salvationist and keep that up 100, 50 I let good fellowship go. You may put me down as saying that secret societies and the church on one side and the Salvation Army on the other don't go, Of course there are thousands of Christian people in churches and secret societies, and I don't want to be misunderstood on that point, but the Sal- vation Army is a church, starting out practi- cally on the lines followed by the Methodists years 8go. Mrs. McFee, the wife of the captain, was not so sure about the rule in the order- book relating to churches and secret orders. She thought that such a rule existed, but did not know just where to find it. Editor Millsaps of the War Cry was egually at sea concerning tke correctness of the statement made by Ensign Wood of Oakland, though he had a vague recollec- tion that a rule of some kind on that sub- ject was to be found in General Booth’s ook of instructions. He would not be surprised at anything, he said, for the army had sYreml itself throughout the civilized world, and had gained a footing which nothing could now shake. Of course, all this talk about the churches and secret societies has created more or less comment among the different de- nominations, though until General Booth announces that the course outlined by En- sign Wood is to be the future policy of the Salvation Army, criticism, either for or against the plan, will hardly be indulged in. In a general way Rev. Dr. Mackenzie comes very near outlining the popular feeling. In speaking of the matter yester- day he said: 8o far as I understand matters the churches have been glad to egive of their members and money for the work of the Salvation Army. The army as such reached a class in our com- munities and helped them in a moral way which could not be reached by the churches. The army bas now apparently drawn enough of our members end money to feel and declare their independence. This is their unques- tioned prerogative, for which none “will say | them nay. It is also human nature illustrate in every such movement and was to be ex- pected. They have discovered their field and now seek to direct their forces more definitely. They probab'y know what they are doing and we would not question their judgment or mo- tive. Personally, however, I think they will make & mistake when they draw the line of division between their work and that of the church as sharply as is predicted. This is a | day of increasing convergence on the part of those working for & common cause rather than of divergence. Dr. Mackenzie in conclusion admitted that the church had certainly felt the benefit of the army’s experience and that the members who worked for both brought good into both. ALAMEDA. Some of the members of the old High School Tennis Club are endeavoring to effect a reorganization. Through lack of interest their court on Paru street became demoralized. The election of officers will be held Saturday, and an endeavor will be made to put new life into the club and re- vive interest in tennis-playing. Stolen Goods. The room of Alexander Wallace, who is awaiting an examination for the larceny of a saddle from Mrs. L. J. Holten, was vis- ited yesterday by the police, who found two pruning-knives and two lawn shears, besides carpenters’ tools and a monkey- wrench. The articles await identification at police headquarters. Knocked From a Wagon. E. W. Wood was knocked from the seat of his wagon yesterday afternoon by being struck by the projecting arm of a tall hy- drant at'the corner of Park street and San Jose avenue. He sprained his right wrist and right side by the fall to the pavement. Football Game. A picked team of players from this city will play a game of football with the Crockett team to-morrow at the Walnut- street grounds. e -HOLY THURSDAY. The Archbishop Will Celebrate Mass at the Cathedral. On Holy Thursday the Archbishop will celebrate solemn high mass at 10 o’clock, assisted and attended by a large numberof the clergy in their sacred robes. At this mass the holy oils are consecrated which are used in all the churches and by all the priests of the diocese in the administration of the sacraments until Holy Thursday, 1896. On Good Friday the solemn functions commemorative of the death of the Savior will begin at 9 A. M. On Good Friday even- 1 preach the sermon ing the Archbishop W on “The Passion.” )y On Hol}' Saturday the services will be- gin at 7 o’clock. These consist in blessing the new fire and the paschal candle, the baptismal font, etc. These functions ter- minate at 8:30 o'clock, when the solemn high mass of the Resurrection is cele- brated. & In holy week the organ and bells are si- lent from the gloria in excelsis of the mass on Holy Thursday to the gloria in excelsis of the mass on Holy Saturday. On Easter Sunday, at 10:30 A. ., the Most Rev. Archbishop Riordan will cele- brate the solemn mass, and will give the gu]vnl benediction, to which a plenary in- ulgence is attached. A FRIEND OF EZETA. General Castillos, One of Antonio’s Offi- cers, Arrives From Salvador on the Colon, The Pacific Mail steamer Colon arrived yesterday morning from Panama and way ports with quite a number of passengers and a big cargo of freight. Among the pas- sengers was General Filadello Castillos, one of Antonio Ezeta’s officers, and a warm personal friend of the exiled Salvadoran. ‘When seen on the steamer General Cas- tillos declined to be interviewed and as soon as the vessel was docked he left the Mail wharf for the California Hotel to call on Antonio. Despite the fact that Castil- los had been in the foremost rank of Ezeta’s fighters, no attempt was made to apprehend him after Gutierrez got in power. This fact would seem to throw doubt on the statements made by Antonio regarding the persecution of his friends in Salvador. Letters which the deposed gen- eral received from his native land stated that Salvador was flowing with the blood of his former adherents. There has never been any confirmation of these stories, and the officers on the Colon stated that every- thing was quiet_in Salyador when the steamer left La Libertad. Ezeta has al- ways maintained that he would return to Salvador and remove Gutierrez from power, and the arrival of Castillos may have some bearing on his plot. IS EVENTFUL CAREER. Ex-Judge Tyler Was a Promi- nent Character in the State. His Connection With the Sharon Case—The Funeral Arrange- ments. Judge George W. Tyler, who died at his home at the corner of Everett street and Lincoln avenue, Tuesday night, was a remarkable man, and his death marks the exit of one of the most noted characters in California. Judge Tyler located in Yuba County in 1849, where he was elected Sheriff. He studied law and afterward went Eastto perfect his legal education at Harvard. Shortly after his return to California he was elected District Attorney of Humboldt The Late Ex-Judge G. W. Tyler. [Drawn from a photograph.] County. At the expiration of his term of oftice he moved to Stockton, where he was elected a County Judze. Deceased located in Alameda twenty-five years ago and was elected a member of the twenty-third sesssion of the Legislature. He was retained as counsel for Sarah Althea Hill in her attempt to prove a con- tract marriage with the late Senator Sharon, from which_he derived consider- able prominence. His greatest coup in that trial was the joke he played on Gen- eral Barnes, which cost the latter $25,000. Barnes paid McLaughlin, a clerk in Tyler's office, the above mentioned sum to abstract the original of a contract between Tyler and Gumpel from the Judge's desk. the contract had been genuine it would have demolished Sarah Althea’s case, as it contained a clause showing that Gumpel believed the marriage contract a forgery. General Barr tained the money from Sharon and a ‘““tip” was given the retainers to be on hand, and here the bombshell dropped into the enemy’s camp exploded. After General Barnes had detailed the story Tyler arose, perfectly unconcerned, and decfared the whole thing a clever trick by which the general hid been duped, This, of course, exploded the sensation, but it proved the boomerang that led to his disbarment. Dr. Merry stated yesterday that Judge Tyler's death was attributed to diabetes militis. Deceased was recently taken down with the grip and the melady fastened it- self on his kidneys and other vital organs, which was followed by blood poisoning. Aside from this he suffered from a wound received at the election of the first Presi- dent Harrison in Vermont, when he was shot in the left heel. This wound occa- sionally broke forth anew and gave him considerable trouble. He leaves a widow, two sons and two daughters. The date of the funeral has not been decided upon, as the arrival of his son, William B. Tyler, of Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. C. L. Mastick of Portland, Or., is expected to-day. B e AN ATTORNEY'S PRIVILEGE. Judge Hunt Directs a Lawyer to An- swer a Question. In the well-known suit of Emma M. Zeltner as executrix of the will of John Henry Wieland against Charles S. Wie- land as the executor of the will of Sophie Wieland, upon which the disposition of $13,947 42 is at stake, a deadlock has been brought about by the declination of a wit- ness, Attorney A. Loughborough, to an- swera question propounded by plaintiff. The quesiion was: “Now, was there any opposition on the part of John Henry Wieland during that time—that is, be- tween February 20 and May 14, when this new contract was signed—any opposition on his part to that second contract?” Yesterday Judge Hunt decided that Loughborough must answer, not bein, able to claim the privilege of a professiona confidence. The Judge's decision is based on 79 Cal., 312, which states that an attor- ney must answer when either of his cli- ents asks him a question, and in this case Loughborough was at one time attorney for both plaintiff and defendant. —_——————— In 1544 the cold was so severe in Holland that wine was cut in blocks and sold by weight. HUNTINGTON'S WARRANT It Will Be Sent to New York, as Service Cannot be Made Here. THE RESULT IS IN DOUBT. A’ Demurrer Will Be Put In by the Rallroad Magnate’s Attorney. Collis P. Huntington is not in the State of California, and he has no intention of coming here for some time to come. The Southern Pacific officials say he is still in New York, and it will not be until some time in May, if he leaves at all, that he starts for the Pacific Coast. By that time the indictment found against him by the United States Grand Jury will have been disposed of, and the railroad magnate will then be able to come and go at his pleasure. One thing seems to be settled. Hunting- ton will not be tried in California. The warrant in connection with the indictment was yesterday returned to the clerk of the district with the indorsement, “Cannot be found. United States Marshal Baldwin swore that he had exercised due diligence In his end eavors to serve the warrant, but hearing that Mr. Huntington was out of his district and not likelg to come here for some time to come, he thought it better to return the document so that some other steps mi;{ht. be taken. . 7 udge Morrow of the United States Dis- trict Court is now sick at his home in San Rafael, and nothing will be done until he recovers. When he is able to hold court again the matter will be called to his at- tention. The chances are that a certified copy of the indictment and warrant will then be ordered made and forwarded to New York for service. Huntington will then probably demur on the ground that the indictment does not set forth sutficient cause for action, and, if the demurrer is sustained, that will settle the matter. As the Attorney-General is said to be of the opinion that,there is not sufficient evi- dence upon which to convict, the chances are that the above is the course that will be followed. The Federal officials excuse themselves for not having sent the warrant East be- fore by saying they desired to avoid the expense that would have been incurred. They were also dafly expecting to hear that Huntington was on his way west. “The warrant will be sent to New York and served there,’” said United States Dis- trict Attorney Foote yesterday when talk- ing about the case. ‘“‘A certified copi' of the indictment will be made and sent back along with the warrant. If Mr. Hunting- ton is there when they arrive service will be made. He may give honds for his ap- pearance here or else elect to fight the case in New York. In the latter event that would probably be the last that we would hear of the matter. . Should he start for California before the warrant reaches New York Marshal Baldwin will serve the orig- inal on him here and then the matter will come up in the regular way.” As the Southern Pacific officials state positively that Huntington will not be here for some time to come the chances are that the fameus breach of the inter- state commerce law case will be settled in New York. WOMAN'S CONGRESS. An Open Meeting to Be Held at the ¥. M. C. A, Hall To-Morrow Afternoon.
