Se. ions then presented the follow- s, which were unanimously ing res adopted Resolved, That this association respectfully represent to the honorable Council and the Board of Public Works of the city of Oakland that, in its estimation, property-owners having once improved the streets in front of their fve properties in accordance with the cations adopted and required by the he cost and expense of the maintenance 1 the same is a proper charge upon the city, and they have a right as taxpayers to expect that such streets will be accepied and kept in order and thorough repair by the city. We also believe that when property-owners | can feel assured that their streets will be so accepted and cared for they will asa rule be willing to improve or repair such streets as &re NOW 80 fer Worn as to require extensive re- pairs, in order to bring them to proper grade and condition to warrant their acceptance, end will also inaugurate extensive new im- provemer We wo d also_suggest that macadamized streets can only be kept cleaned and in repair by & constant, thorough daily rnro\ system, and that the life and duration of pavements so cared for will be very greatly extended, the ease comfort of those who have occasion to use them for carriages, wagons or bicycles be greatly promoted, and the beauty and at- tractiveness of our city be enhanced toa de- gree that can be accomplished in no other way y & like expenditure. We would, therefore, respectfully suggest to your honorable bodies: First—That when properly graded and mac- mized, or regraded and remacadamized, in dance with specifications required by the 'y, all streets be accepted and thereafter kept in repair by the city. Second—We would also suggest that for the just and equitable distribution and expendi- ture of the annual appropriations of the funds set apart for repair of streets, as well as for the economical and more thoroughly efficient ac- complishment of the work of repairs, one or more stations as may be found necessary, to be under the charge of the Superintendent of Streets, be established in each ward by the renting of vacant lots, at which station shall be deposited the broken rock, carts, tools and ather sccessories required for the work, with such workmen as may be necessary to be em- ployed to thoroughly patrol and keep in repair the streets of said ward. Also recognizing the right of each ward toa fair pro rata or share of said annual appropri- ation in proportion to the length of its fm- proved roadway, making due allowance for main thoroughiares upon v aich the travel is heavy. chwould also suggest thatthe number of miles of streets in each ward which the city shall thus undertake to keep in repair be deter- mined by the City Engineer, an estimate or requisition of the amount of rock end otber materials required to make all necessary re- pairs in each ward be made annually, the city 3 Toposals and purchasing all materials from the lowest responsible bidder. . Officers will be elected at the next meet~ ing of the association. Coroner Baldwin Mystified. The more he investigates the case of Sydney Smith, whose body arrived here on Tuesday from Rawlins, Wyo., the more mystitied does Coroner Baldwin be- come, and he has decided to postpone the inquest until he hears from the police of Rawlins, from whom he hopes to obtain some definite information. An autopsy was held by Dr. Webster and Dr. Crowley yesterday, and the fact was developed that Smith did_not die of hanging, for no indications that he had been strangled could be found. The back of the head was badly cut and bruised and several contusions of the face and neck were found. 2 The physicians came to the conclusion that he died of concussion of the brain, though no fracture of the skull could be found. It is now believed by the St. An- drew’s Society, under whose auspices Smith was buried yesterday, that the first news of his death was authentic, and that he was killed in some accident which the is anxious to hush up. The first intim; that his friend was dead came to Alexander Thompson, to meet whom Smith was on his way to Cali- fornia, through the medium of a dispatch from W. H. Bancroft, division superinten- dent of the Union Pacific at Laramie. The message read as follows: Party named Sydney Smith from Buckie, Scotland, was accidentally killed by one of our trains yesterday, and his remains are now at Laramie, Wyo. Can you advise disposition of them. Mr. Thompson and the members of the society supposed that the matter was as reported by the railroad employe, and were very much surprised when the death certificate, which wasfound in an envelope inside the coffin, gave the cause of death as suicide by banging in the Carbon County Jail at Rawlins. They immediately began a correspond- ence with the Rawlins authorities, but up to last evening had received no further in- tormation. The mystery of the caseis deepened by two telegrams from Rawlins which were printed 1 a Laramie (Wyo- ming) pa{;er of February 28, which was received by Dr. N. K. Foster of this city yesterday. The first was dated February 26, and stated that Sydney Smith, a man about 40 years old, had jumped from the west- bound train and rushed uptown in a de- mented condition. He was caught and taken to the jail and, later, recovered his reason and admitted that he had been drinking heavily for several days. The dispatch closed by saying that he was better. The second telegram was dated the fol- lowing day and contained the following words: Sydney Smith, the Englishman who was taken from the westbound passenger train st evening in & demented condition, was found dead in his cell this morning, he having committed suicide. These conflicting statements have roused the suspicions of the members of the local branch of the St. Andrew’s So- ciety and they will investizate the case thoroughly. The physician who signed the death cer- tificate, Dr. Maghee, is said by Dr. Foster, who is well acquainted with him, to be a reputable practitioner. Dr. Foster believes that if Smith was killed in an accident the Rawlins physician was imposed upon by some oneand induced to sign the certifi- cate without actually knowing the cause of death. Berkeley’s Flower Show. The flower carnival at Stiles Hall, for which the ladies of the First Unitarian Church have been preparing for the past ten days, will open this morning at 10 o’clock. The principal decorations of the hall will be bamboo and snowballs, and the exhibits themselves will consist largely of roses, carnations and pelargoniums. The reward for the largest and best col- lection of roses will be a copy of the “Illus- trated History of the University of Cali- fornia.” A study in oil will be given for the best twelve roses displayed in separate glasses. For the six best varieties of roses in separate glasses a hand-painted mouchoir- case will be given. Other prizes will be given for the best collection of roses exhibited by amateurs, for the best display of wildflowers, the best collection of pelargoniums, the choicest display of carnations, the best collection of ferns, and the choicest display of esch- scholtzias. The best rose in the carnival will be de- cided by popular vote this afternoon and evening, and the owner will be rewarded with a handsome Royal Worcester plate. concert, under the direction of W. W. Davis, will be rendered on each of the two evenings of the carnival. The committee which has had thearrangements in charge consists of Mrs. W. H. Bmyth, Mrs. R. W. Brehm, Miss C. Bates, Mrs. Wale and Mrs. William Wattles. Lambert Pleads Not Guilty. ‘Walter Lambert, ex-clerk of the Police Court, who is charged with embezzlement of dpublic money, pleaded not guilty in Judge Frick’s court_yesterday after an ap- lication for more time to plead had been genied by the court. Attorney Abbott, who appeared to de- fend the accused, entered a demurrer on two grounds, the first being that the in- dictruent did not state that the money was such as the defendant had a right to re- ceive or the purpose for which it was re- ceived. The second ground was that the indict- ment was not definite on the point that the money was such as he was required to turn over at a specified time, also that if such a time was specified it had not passed at the time of the alleged misappropriation, Judge Frick overruled the rremurrer and will set a date for the case to go to trial this morning. Professor Jordan’s Lectures. Professor David Starr Jordan, president of the Leland Stanford Jr. University, will deliver the second of a series of lectures at the Unitarian church, Fourteenth and Castro streets, this evening. The address will be_entitled “Altruism, Socialism and Individualism” and will be a discussion of the points raised by Professor Herron in his recent lectures in this city. Damage Suit. _Attorney William W. Waste, whose fiancee was killed, and who was himself severely injured, by the colliding of a local train with a streetcar in which the couple were seated, has brought suit against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company for $25,000 damages, alleging that the accident was wholly due to criminal negligence. ALAMEDA, lThon’gns ‘W. Hinchman died suddenly at his residence on Chestnut street Tuesday evening. Mr. Hinchman was born in Elizabeth, N. J and was aged 75 years. He came to California in 1849, and, during his long and active life, had acquaintance with many of the most noted men in the State. He was a resident of Alameda for fourteen years. Deceased leaves a widow, three daughters and four sons. They are: Mrs. R, W. Mastick, Walworth N., Charles N., Wil- liam B., Helen, Gertrude and Thomas Frederick, The funeral will take place to- morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock from Christ Church. ‘Warrants Not Honored. The City Treasurer has declined to pay the library warrants audited by the old board. Treasurer Wheeler is taking every precaution against possible loss or trouble to him, The April bills will in all prob- ability be paid 1n a day or so, but unless the controversy is soon settled further bills will be refused until the legality of the board is unquestioned, The City Attorney has advised that the bills are legal and that the City Treasurer };ill iCncurTno di!ficnlllin honoring them, he City Trustees will not recognize old bonr):‘l. s th Art Students’ League. The members of the Art Students’ League are making arrangements to go on a cruise the latter part of this moufi:up the Sacramento River to sketch from nature. The trip will be made in the yacht Emerald. The league meets weekl and is now studying from a female model, a professional who poses for the Hopkins Art Institute. Charge Against a Saloon-Keeper. A warrant has been issued by Justice Morris for the arrest of Andrew McNamee of the Tidal saloon on a charge of violatin; the law prohibiting the sale of intoxi- cating li%uors to persons under 18 years of age. A.C. Webb of Buena Vista avenue is the complainant. It is charged that Mc- Namee sold liguor and cigarettes to a party of school?)oys. and the Supervisors will be asked to revoke his license. BERKELEY. The Board of Town Trustees have brought upon themselves much adverse criticism by the way in which they con- ducted their last meeting on Monday even- ing. The fact has developed there was a scheme on hand by which certain members of the board intended to railroad through a resolution taking the official printing from the Advocate and awarding it for one year to the Gazette. What makes thisplan appear deep laid is that the town is on the eve of an election, at which time the sys- tem of awarding such contracts will be en- tirely changed. The two men who indulged most freely CARNIAL FOR CHARMTY, ¢ The Fabiola May Fete in Oak- land Will Be a Great Event. ABANDON OF FUN AND FLOWERS Burlingame Soclety WIill Be There In Drags in the Beautiful Parade. N Now that the weather has taken such a positive turn the preparations at the Oak- land Trotting Park for theé Fabiola fete on Saturday are being rushed to completion. The principal work consists of rearrang- ing, for although the storm of Wednesday last spoiled most of the decorations it will not take very long to restore them again. Mindful of the great demand that was made on the refreshments on Mayday, particular attention will be paid to avoid- ianlory and lilies; the other will be prop- y embellished with a variety of roses. Mrs. Brandenberg of Fruitvale has worked out a design in_roses with which she will decorate fixer phaeton. The horse will carry a_huge floral blanket, and the banners “will be bedecked with satins and ribbons. T. Baunders will have his rig orna- mented with the national colors, and roses and corn-flowers will still further enhance the effect. Mrs. Klinkner of Golden Gate will be seen with her phaeton and handsome pair of ponies. Lilies of the valley and callas will be the prevailing aecorations. Mrs.J. G. Hemming of Alameda will show how charming a lavender tone can be. Her dogeart will be elaborately orna- mented and will be one of the features of the parade. £ Alameda intends to make a distinctive showing, anyhow, for the Driving Club of that city, headed by its president, Charles 8. Neal, will come over. Thisorganization isone of the crack social clubs of the county, and it possesses some of the finest rigs in the bay district. White and yellow marguerites will be especially affected by the dwellers on the Encinal. The most interesting piece of news, though, in conection with the parade is that notification has Dbeen received from the Burlingame Club that it will come over in a body and participate in the car- nival, There will be about half a dozen drags tooled by such famous whips as Harry Simpkins, Charley Baldwin and Talbot Clifton, and conveying some of the MRS. CHAS. { D.PIERCE < MRS, LLREQUA SOME OF THE LEADERS OF OAELAND SOCIETY WHO ARE HELPING TO MAEKE THE FABIOLA FETE A SUCCESS. (Sketched for the ““Call” by Fisher.] in the contention were President Acton and Trustee Whiting. They attempted to deprive the Gazette of the town printing, to which paper they had decided, at a few meetings previous, to give it. As a result of the statement made in the Dispatch, to the effect that the paper re- fused to print the election card of Acton on account of his operations at the Trustee meeting, Acton approached one of the edi- tors of the paper yesterday, and, without ;\'nrning, struck him a fierce blow in the face. Editor Harlin resisted the blow and clinched with his assailant, but an officer put a stop to the fight before much harm was done. Harlin at once swore outa complaint firnmat Acton for assault and battery, and also with intention to do him bodily harm, and asked that he be put under bonds to keep the peace. Justice Lord prepared the necessary apers, and the case will be tried in a few ays. FOSS PLEADED GUILTY. He Will Probably Get Of With a Four Years’ Sentence. H. L. Foss, indicted for counterfeiting Chinese certificatesand smuggling, pleaded guilty in the United States District Court on three counts yesterday. In the certificate business he admijtted the charge of conspiracy to defraud”the Government and in the opium smuggling he admitted having twice illegally assistes in landing the drng in the United States. Had the prisoner been found guilty on all the charges his sentence would prob- ably have been about fifteen years in San Quentin, As it is now the chances are that he will get off with about four. In his confession the prisoner admitted hav- ing been mixed up in the attempt to issue forged certificates, and also in_the illicit transportation of opium from Hongkong to San Francisco and thence to Honolulu. ———————— Cook’s Bondsman in the Lurch. Judge Seawell yesterday rendered a judg- ment for the City against Joseph B. Cook, the defaulting police clerk who is serving a term of eight years' imprisonment in San Quentin. The judgment was for $1260 and interest, commencing from the date of the filing of the complaint in 1891. The judgment will fall on asingie bondsman. There were two bondsmen in the sum of 85000, but one of them, William A. Carnes, has been declared insolvent. At the time of his going surety for Cook he was rated on property in Alameda County at £15,000, The other “bondsman, G. L. Wiison, who will bear the brunt of the judgment, qualified as the owner of one-third interest in property on Broadway and Stockton streets, valued at T oo Art Institute Concert. The following programme will be rendered at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art to-night: Organ, fantasie in B flat (Petri); organ, grand postlude in G minor (0. Fleissner), manuscript, Otto Fleissner; aria, “Where’er You Walk” (Handel)—(a) Chant Venetien (Bemberg), (b) Summer Evening (Lassen). Albert C. Hooper; cornet solos, “Inflammatus” (Rossini), “Medi- tation” (Lavalee), Miss Pearl Noble; songs, ‘He Wasa Prince” ( yn!l(.wlltl song (Mey), Miss Alice Brannan; violin solo, “Cavatine,” op. 25 (Hans Sitt), fignry Heyman, applied for a warrant charging him | | Everson and Mrs. ing any chances of a famine. Wagon- loads of sanawiches, cold meats, cakes and pastry will arrive at the grounds early in the day fresh from the home kitchens, for it is all to be prepared by the ladies of the association. The edibles will be dispensed all day in the main pavilion, which is located in the center of the field. It is 50 by 70 feet, and as it has seating capacity for 120 people there is no danger of any one being turned away for want of accommo- dations. It will be in charge of Mrs. Yale, who will be assisted by Mrs. Wallace Everson, E. B. Sanborn, Mrs. Arthur Brown, Mrs, Charles Deering, Miss A. E. Stevens, Mrs. Booth, Mrs. W. Wilson, Mrs. T. Alexander, Mrs. J. Scotchler, Mrs. W. 8. Bnook, Robert McSherrey, Mrs. A. W. Burrell, Mrs. E. Jerome, Mrs. George W. Cook, Mrs. F. D. Hinds, Mrs. P. N. Remillard, Mrs. Eli Denison and Mrs. Kendall. In opder to avoid any possibility of overcrowding a branch stand, where coffee and sandwiches will be exclusively sold, will be in operation in front of the old racing seats. The candy and flower booth is sure to do a rushing business, so a corps of hard- working Jadies will be In charge. They are Mrs. T. G. Harrison, Mrs. William Gruenhagen, Miss May Burnham, Mrs. A. A. Barton, Miss Lena Van der Zwoep and Mrs. W. F. Pierce. The buffet-booth will be another of the social side shows. Tt wiil be presided over | by Mrs. Remi_Chabot, assisted by Mrs R. W. Gorrill, Mrs. Everson, Miss Lillian P. N. Remillard. In addition to these attractions, there will be a multitude of ways of passing the time between the various events on the programme, and a promenade around the §rounds to the music of the United States nfantry band will be very pleasant, There seems to be no limit to the num- ber of those who intend to participate in the decorated carriage parade, for the entry-list at Secretary Pomroy’s office re- ceives additions every day. James Miller Jr. is one of the latest candidates for honors, and will rely on a cart decorated with yellow poppies to win him a prize. Chief of Police Louis Schaffer has a sur- gme in store. In order toavoid any possi- ility of a conflict between the rival aspir- ants for the first grize. he will try and wia it for the city of Oakland, and will do it officially. That is to say, the city will be represented by the police patrol-wagon, which will be manned by the best-lookin, men on the force, and decorated in red an white. Roses, Eeumulm and snowballs will decorate the seats of the ‘“‘Black Maris,” and, instead of lookgnf out of place in a society event, the Chief intends to make it one of the star attractions, Ex-Assemblyman Taggart’s son will a, r as a cavalier on horseback, and will accompanied by Miss Abbie R. Taggart, who will ride a saddle-horse. Mrs. Cobbledick and Miss Isabella Cob- bledick are going to make a big bid to carry off the first prize. They will appear in a phaeton festooned in pink and white and 3ownwd with roses and ‘‘snowballs.” Two of the most swagger turnouts in the whole parade will undoubtedly be those to be furnished by Mrs. Richard Kennedy. They are English dogearts, and one will bein red and blue, decorated with morn- best-known members of San Francisco society. The whole business will be handled in the Burlingame’s well-known style, and lunch will be brought in baskets and their friends entertained at the drags. Judge Hackett, who is in charge of the horse meet, is jubilant over the result of his work. He Las prepared almost an entirely new programme to that arranged for Mayday and it contains a number of features that will be of particular local in- terest. So many events are assured it will be impossible to squeeze them all into the afternoon, so one will be got out of the way in the morning. It wifl be a gentle- men’s driving race, mile heats, best two ou: of three, and the following will com- pete: Horse. Driver Colors Steinbridge, Charles Babb. lue Don.. Higby. ack Ambler -H. Higginbotham. ray . E. Smith.. Red . B. Tennant. Green The race will start at 10:45 A. m. and will probably consume most of the time until noon. as the horses are well matched and will cause some close competition. Two new running events are announced for the afternoon. One will be a half-mile dash for gentleman riders, and the follow- ing will contest: Rider. B. Tennant Robinson Stimpson The other will be a five-eizhths dash and will be participated in as follows: Horse. Rider. W. V. Witcher nningham A B. Tennant F. B. McFeely 15 class; Then will come a mile tro a mile pacing, free for all; a mile trot, 2:25 class; mile trot, 2:40 class. The prin- cipal event of the horse meet will bea one and a quarter miles professional hurdle race, Four or five of the best horses at the Bay District Track will run and will be ridden by first-class jockeys, among whom will be Spence and Hill. As regards the bicycle races, now that the track is dr{ing out, there is every assurance that the meet will be 8 memor able one. The local clubmen are in active training, and there will be some good ridingin the mile handicap. The Southern Pacific has renewed its arrangement for handling the visitors from San Francisco, and the downtown car service will also be run at full pressure. A clever move in connection with the street service has been arranged by the committee. Bands will be placed in all the decorated cars and concerts will be iven at central points ;}onfi the route. E‘he musicians will also visit the outlying Ehce' such as San Lorenzo, Fruitvale, meryville and Temescal, and in this way the enthusiasm will be still further stirred up. It is said that so far as investigation oes the ass and mule enjoy the greatest immunity from consumption of warm- blooded animals. AUCTION SALES.
