Now that is not right, and something ought to be done to pre- vent it Any one who thinks the bicycle ques- tion is not a live issue on the Alameda side of the bay should spend an hour or two among the wheelmen ot Oakland. Talk a few minutes with Fred Whitney, the attorney, who is also a member of the nce Club, for instance. He has died the license question,and knows sentiment of the wheelmen abont t meeting of his club it was decided not to oppose a small license fee, say of $1 a year. But in return for this tax the wheelmen will demand better streets and roads. Z own opinion is,”’ says Mr. Whitney, “that such a tax would not only be uncon- titutional, but impossible of collection. , the wheelmen of this city bave ied not to oppose a small tax. I was to Mr. Manuel, president of the and the framer of the resolution on; ok ne pending, about the matter, and he expressed the opinion that a dollar tax would amount to so little in the aggregate he wheelmen would not derive much t from it in the matter of improved streets. He thought the present ordi- ce—that is, the one now. pending— vould be defeated. “You see, not only bicycle men but the s of vehicles and carriages generally terested in this question, for if a bi- cle is to be licensed carriages and all pleasure vehicles must also pay a special . That is the plan, as I understand it. Some of the Councilmen take the view— which is correct, I think—that a tax on bicycles would tend to discou.rageynsmn wheelmen, and, of course, we can't affo to do that. And then, how would the tax be collected? The policeman findsa wheel- man without a tag on his bike. ‘I am from San Francisco,’ says the wheelman; or from San Jose, or any other place. How are you going to prove it? What is to revent me from refusing to pay the Kcense and claiming tbat I reside in another city? You might baye ali such riders taken togthe City Hall and make them prove their residence, but you can see how foolish that would be. 'Wheelmen would taboo Oakland. And then suppose Berkeley and Haywards were to follow suit and impose municipal licenses on bi- cycles. A man would have to have his wheel covered with tags to escape arrest if he dared ride outside the city limits. No; the only possible way would be to impose g State tax, and that would be of no avail to the wheelmen, because they could derive no benefits from it in the way of better streets and roads.” Another Man Sandbagged. Another man, this time the father ofsa police officer, has been sandbagged in the main business portion of the town, and the police aye as far as ever from getting eny trace of the bold footpads who are be- ginning to terrorize the entire community. is for | charge, and for this reason but one | The latest victim is John A. Moore, | versity in Augus Though stunned by the force of the blow he managed to regain his feet and turned to grapple with his assailants, but the sud- den appearance of a pedestrian frightened the would-be robbers and they ran down Webster street and disappeared in the shadows of the houses. The man who drove the footpads from their prey assisted Mr. Moore to his home at 1005 Webster, where it was found that he had sustained a painful bruise on the Jeit side of hishead from the blow and a deep cut on the op- Pposite side where his head struck the side- walk in falling. . His rescuer describes the footpads as be- ing young fellows of medium height, dressed in dark clothes. He was unable to get a look at their faces and could give no accurate description of them. The assault was so similar to those com- mitted on George Reed at Seventh and Washington streets and young Begley at Fourteenth and Webster thatall three out- rages are believed to be the work of the same m"fi' and much surprise is mani- fested at the failure of the police to round up the criminals. Another attempted robbery was reported from East Oakland yesterday, in which three men answering somewhat to the de- seription’ of the ruEbers who looted Tag- gart’s pharmacy took part. Their intended victim had strength enough to run after being assaulted and thus escaped with his valuables. To Widen Their Efforts. At a meeting of the council for the sup- Eressiun of the saloons, held in the Y. M. C. A. building, the following reverend gen- | tlemen were in attendance: Reys. William Rader, E. 8. Williams, M. Willett, H. H. Rice, 0. Jones,.C. H. Hobart, W. H. Mc- Dougal, E. C. Williams, Robert Wiand, A. J. McMurtry, J. M. Alexander, Charles Mayne, Robert Hunter and Mrs. Borland. Rev. Mr. McDougall reported that the Young Woman’s Christian Association and the Good Templars had passed resolu- tions signifying their desire to be repre- sented in the council. They were wel- comed. It was proposed to organize the council on a more permanent basis, and as one of the means to this end a motion was adopted providing for a committee to act in conference with delegates from the kin- dred organizations throughout the coun- try who are in sympathy with the move- ment. The Rev. H, H. Rice, Mrs. Bor- land and C. H. Merritt were appointed as the committee to work with the Rev. Mr. McDougall. ! The City Lost the Land. Judge Greene decided the case of George E. Grant vs. the City of Oakland in favor of the plaintiff yesterday, and in conse- quence the municipality loses title and | property in East Oakland valued at $20,000. | The property lies on Third avenue, near | East Fifteenth street, and is 300 feet long | by 100 feet in width. The city claimed possession on the ground that the tract had been dedicated as a public park, an® on November 23, 1885, Grant began suit to enjoin the city from forcibly ousting him. Since the beginning of the action many of the witnesses in the case have died or moved away and the case has dragged along until recently, when the matter was taken up and the éity Attorney made a motion for a nonsuit. Judge Greene de- nied the motion and ordered judgment en- tered for the plaintiff. Grant has paid the taxeson the property, which has largely appreciated in value since the action was begun. Caught Under the Train. George Campbell, an Alameda lad of 12 years, was the victim of a very painful ac- cident yesterday morning that resulted in the amputation of both legs just below the knees. Barly yesterday morning he made an attempt to board the train as it was pull- ing out of the Grand-street station. George caught the car rail, but missed his footing. In a twinkling he was shot, feet first, under the car, where the wheels passed over both legs above the ankles. The alarm was given at once and the injured lad was picked up in an unconscicus condition. Conductor Buchanan stemmed the flow of blood from the wounds, and then the lad was placed on the train and taken to the foot of Broadway in Oakland and thence to the Receiving Hospital. In order to save the boy’s life it was found necessary to amputate both legs below the knees. The Webster-Street Bridage. Mayor Davie and Councilman Bassett are preparing for a determined movement against the obsolete Webster-street bridge. Mayor Daviesays he intends to appeal to the War Department to have the old bridge re- | moved as an obstruction to navigation. | This appeal must be based upon a petition signed by interested ship-owners, protest- ing that the bridge is a nuisance and that it does not comply with the Federal re- quirements for drawbridges. Recently the Sonthern Pacific has com- menced to patch up the bridge and is now driving piles into the main draw pier. The new piles are needly badly experts declare, but a new and modern bridge whose draws will permit a vessel to pass with a tug alongside is a still more pressing neces- sity. 22 Assessor Dalton’s Visitors. Controller Colgan and four other mem- bers of the State Board of Equalization— Messrs, Morehouse, Beamer, Arnold and Cheesebrough — paid their annual visit to the Alameda County Assessor’s office yes- terday. All of the gentlemen expressed themselves as agreeably surprised with the thoroughness and correctness of the work done by Assessor Dalton. They will re- main a day or two and then dega‘n., and upon the data obtained during their visit they will largely depend for a basis of ssment of Alameda County when they meet at Sacramento in a few months for that purpose. Exercises at the Baptist College. The Alumpi Association of the Baptist College, in Highland Park, East Oakland, gave their yearly commencement week en- fertainment last night to a large audience. The graduation exercises oi the academy class will take place this evening, and to- morrow the commencement exercises will be held in Mary Stuart Hall, concluding with an address by C.C.

ISurey, J. B. Lanktree and J. R. Know- and. Pawned a Bicycle. Frank Cruz, who recently escaped when charged with forgery by his mother mak- ing good the loss, rented a bicycle on Fri- day last from a local dealer, took it to San Francisco and pawned it for $15. The wheel-owner learned on the following day where the bicycle had been left and re- ported the theit to the boy’s mother. It was the intention to place a charge of em- bezzlement against the boy, but his mother redeemed the wheel and the matter has been amicably arranged. Attorney Barron Dead. William R. Barron_ died early Tuesday momingflat his residence, 929 Lafayette street. e was 33 years of age and an at- torney by profession, having an office in San Francisco. Deceased was a native of California and had resided in Alameda about two years. Fought Over His Wife. A complaint was sworn to yesterday morning by C. Thompson for the arrest of Dennis Godfrey for assault with a deadly weapon. Godirey accused Thompson of lmva insulted his wife and struck him over the head with a blunt instrument, in- flicting scalp wounds. WHITE [N DEEP TROUBLE, The Mendocino Cattle King Liable to Be Convicted of Contempt. John S. Rohrbough, His Nephew, Fined and Imprisoned on the Same Charge. “Cattle King” George E. White of Men- docino County is in danger of punishment for contempt of courtif Judge Hebbard reaches the same conclusion regarding him which he did in the case of John S. Rohrbough, who was fined $500 and given a sentence of five days in the County Jail for having sworn toa paper in which a statement was made that he had upon June 9, 1894, executed a lease with George 8. White for certain lands in Humboldt and Mendocino counties and that the lease was to run until the year 1897. The court took the grounds of contempt from the fact that in 1889 it had issued a decree that no lease should be entered into or any portion of the property disposed of until final judgment had been entered. Following the contempt proceedings may | come acharge of perjury, as Ronrbough haa made an affidavit that he had entered into a lease with White for the same prop- erty on March 10, 1895, torun for ten months. At the time the original decree was is- sued the lease then pending was to expire April 9, 1894, Two days preceding the date of expiration George M. Downs was sent by the receiver to take possession of the property on the judgment which was ren- dered, giving Mrs. White a claim of $103,- 000. Downs found Rohrbough at the ranch. The latter said he had a lease on the proFerty which did not expire until the fall of 1897. Downs demanded the lease, but Rohrbough said the document was locked up and he could not get at it. The contention of Mrs. Frankie White, who is represented by Walter H. Linforth, is that even if such alease was ever made if'u was ante-dated and is a fraud upon its ace. ‘White was ordered to appear before the court to answer in contempt proceedings May 3. Instead of doing that he sent an afiidavit from his physician to the effect that his wound, which he had received by the falling of his pistol from his pocket in Sau Francisco, was of such a nature that he could not appear on the date named by the court. It is shown by the attorneys on the other side that White left Covelo, Mendocino County, May 1, the same day of the affi- davit of the doctor; that he was in Ukiah the following day and in San Francisco May 3, the day the case was originally called. These facts have all been presented to the court, and when the case is called this morning the “King” will have to show good cause why he should not go to jail and pay a fine. Rohrbough is a nephew of White and has been acting as his agent at the ranch since Mrs. White began her proceedings for divorce. All of White’s property is to be sold at the receiver’s sale, May 27, at Ukiah. FALL OF THE BASTILE, The French Colony Will Observe the Anniversary by Holding a Picnie. A number of the members of the French colony of this City met last night in the hall of the Lafayette Guards for the pur- pose of determining if the anniversay of the fall of the Bastile should be observed as it had been previous to last year. Daniel Levy was elected chairman of the meeting and J. Deschamps secretary, after which it was decided there should be a celebration, but not on the scale which had made previous celebrations so notable in this City. On motion of P. A. Bergerot it was voted that the celebration should be a pic- nic, to be given by all the French societies. A proposition that the surplus should be turned over to the Alliance Francaise, the money to be used for the purpose of giving the rising generation instruction in the French language, led to a prolonged debate, which was brought to a close by a motion by Mr. Geustiaux that the disposi- tion of the surplus be discussed after the celebration. It was decided that the committee of arml}femenn should be cor ed of the presidents of the several societies and cap- uinis of the three French military com- anies. > The French Consul was named honorary Bresident of the committee. Secretary eschamps was directed to arrange for a committee meetin, The ir Estate. Judge Slack yesterday sustained the demur- rer of Dr. Mare Levingston to the opposition of Margaret J.

Kellogg. HIS LAST LOVING LETTER. Peculiar Coincldence of Dates In the Recall of an Invi- tation. It was a surprise to the general public when the purported will of Calvin W. Kellogg, the aged capitalist, formerly of the firm of J. Wilmerding & Co., was yes- terday admitted to probate without the filing of a contest. Attorney L. E. Phil- lips, associate counsel with Delmas & Shortridge for the daughter, Mrs. Gilroy, appeared in Judge Coffey’s court and of- fered no objection to the proceedings. Mrs. Mary Kellogg, the widow, was sub- sequently appointed administratrix of the estate by the court. From Attorney Phillips it was subse- quently learned that there is an obstacle to be surmounted before any contest can be filed. This obstacle appears in the form of a claim for $250,000, to which is attached a curious history. The claim is represented by a suit by Peter Dean, as president of the Merchants’ Exchange Bank of San Mateo County. It appears that in 1875 Calvin W. Kel- logg was president of that bank, and for tempora: accommodation among the directors In the manipulation of collateral, etc., gave his note for $250,000, it being merely a “paper’ transaction. Mr. Kel- logg was then very rich, but in' the panic of 1877 he became bankruptand the follow- ing year went through the insolvency court. Tt was at this juncture that, it isclaimed, this note became estopped. On November 14, 1877, a petition in the matter of Calvin W. Kellogg was filed in the District Court of California. On January 11, 1878, at a meeting of creditors, H. C. Hyde was ap- pointed assignee, and on February 27 a certificate of final discharge was granted by order of court. Previously to this, however, a formal notice to creditors of the estate had been kept published in the Alta California newspaper warning all who had claims against the estate of Calvin W. Kellogg to present their claims. This included any ossible claim the Merchants’ Exchange %nnk might have, but the bank presented no claim for payment of the $250,000 note and, the attorneys claim, by the discharge of the bankrupt was forever estopped from establishing such a claim. In 1879, notwithstanding the bank- ruptcy proceedings and the formal notice, the bank commenced proceedings to re- cover the value of the note, but the action was never pressed. The affair was a mere farce. Attorrey Phillips commenting on it said: For sixteen years not a paper was filed in the suit which was commonly believed to be a8 mere blackmailing suit and to have been dropped as it failed of its purpose. But during the sixteen years the attorneys for the bank, without his knowledge, had beén obtaining every half year a six months’ exten- sion of time, and now that the old man is dead there appears an inclination on the part of Peter Dean, the president of the bank, o press the suit. 1tis curious that in the insolvency {)roceedings Dean presented claims on Kel- ogg aggregating $13,200, from which he was barred by the discharge of the bankrupt, but now Dean has just presented a claim against the Kellogg estate for only $2000. It is stated that the will has been per- mitted to go to probateto allow the ex- ecutors, Thomas Cole, Joseph N. Loewe and Mrs. Mary Kelloig, to fight this obso- lete claim of the bank. Delmas & Short- ridge and L. E. Phillips will participate to have it dismissed. In the meantime Mrs. Ella Gilroy, the daughter of the capitalist, is unchanged in her faith in the loving intentions of her father toward her at the time of his death. She possesses a chain of letters, only broken by a peculiar circumstance a short time before her father died, breathing nothing but the most devoted affection. ‘The last of these letters, addressed to her in Europe, ran as follows: December 7, 1894. My Darling Ella—1 am just in receipt of your letter of November 23,and I have just cabled you £20. I also sent you a like amount on the 34 of this month, and on the 4th I wrote you asking you if you would like to come home and keep house for me and be everything to me, but I do not want you to come unless you think it yould suit you and be pleasant to you to do as I would want you to. You would have to be, for a while at least, very quiet, and not atall conspicuous. I said, in case 1t would suit vou, you would cable *“‘yes,” and I would nn]r‘l you money to come, otherwise you can write. Well, my darling love, I have at last made my arrangements 1o continue the business of Wilmerding & Co. by taking in new partners, The heirs did not allow me o draw one doilar for three months, which accounts for my not being able to send you money. Adding all iy love, I am yours, C. W.K. In reply to this letter Mrs. Gilroy cabled “Yes,”" and an ocean steamship company informed hLer that her passage had been aid across the Atlantic and through to an Francisco. She prepared to start, and strangely enough in the middle of January of this year received word fron the steam- ship people that the passage money had been withdrawn. There were no more let- ters, and Mrs. Gilroy only heard from a San Francisco friend in April that her father wasvery ill. She came over at once, and reached the city just three days before his death. The aftorney continued: The peculiar point is_that it was in the mid- dle of January that Mrs. Massey, who after- ward became Mrs. Kelloge, went o live with Mr. Kellogg. Thereafter there was a regular succession of significant dates, Mr. Kellogg was divorced from his second wife January 29. married Mrs. Massey February 26, made the alleged will and deed March 7, made a subse- quent deed on March 23, and died on April 12, of Bright's disease of the kidneys. The contention of the attorneys for the prospective contestants is that Mrs. Mas- sey first induced Mr. Kellogg, whose mind was impaired by age and disease, to break off relations with his daughter, then secure a divorce from Mrs. Button Keliogg, the second wife, and subsequently to make the obnoxious will and deeds. "Mrs, Kellogg had in her employ Attorney D. P. Belk- nap. fl has not yet been positively announced whether the only son of Kellogg will make & contest. Mrs. Gilroy is on excellent terms with the young man, and the onl; object she has in view is to secure the real- ization of what she is sure were her fath- er's last wishes as regards his children, SUOOESS ASSURED, Good Showing of the Women’s Educa- tional and Industrial Union. The success of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union as & practical move- ment along the line of aiding deserving young women to learn useful branches of industry was well demonstrated last night in the large gathering at 103 Van Ness avenue. The occasion wasthe quarterly meeting of the institution. The business meeting was followed by a pleasant social. Mme. Lounise Sorbier, the president, was able to ghow a rather enco report from t‘e treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Fraser. The cash surplus had iucreased from $54 last August to $349 by the first of the month. As an evidence of the value of the insti- tution to the community a report came from the bureau of application stating that from the number of lgpllmfionl received it was apparent that there is a large num- ®er of teachers of all branches and seam- stresses out of employment. There were 202 applications from ladies needing work in the past six months, and only d employers. It was su that if the e e aar sits o i union much of it could le used to relieve the distress of applicants for employment. Mrs. Pheebe Hearst, who has proved one of the union’s greatest benefactresses, was unanimously voted a life member. In speaking of her, Mrs. Nellie B. Eyster, acting chairman of the meeting, observed that at a recent drawing-room given 'k:fr Queen VictoYia, Mrs, Hearst. who is st 1 in London, was presented to her Majesty, and among the assemblage there none was more queenly in bearing than this well- known lady from San Francisco. Mrs. Eyster also gave a short sketeh of the life of Susan B. Anthony, who is on her way here to attend the woman’s congress next Monday. It was voted to have the union tender a reception to Miss Anthony on Tuesday, the 28th inst. 3 From the report of the educational com- mittee it was manifest that f§°°d progress had been made by the different classes. Some excellent evidences of what thedress- making class had done were exhibited in several complete dress suits. The classin German had been studying “William Tell,” “Nathan the Wise,” “Herman and Doro- thea” and ‘“Minna von Barnhelm.” It had even produced an original German poem, which was universally pronounced an indication of genius as well as of the thorough training of the teacher, Miss S. Schultz. At the social there was some well-re- ceived singing by the choral class, under the direction of Madame Ellen Coursen- Roeckel, followed by solos by Miss May Mabie, Mrs. H. Lewis, Miss Adrienne Mojica, Mrs. F. Petersen, Miss Grace Sherry, Miss Madeline Lee and Miss Cathie Coursen, Professor Joseph Roeckei accom- panying, TO BE RESENTENCED. Fredericks, the Murderer, Brought Over From San Quentin Prison Bound and Howling. Fredericks, the murderer of Cashier Her- rick, was brought over from San Quentin prison yesterday to appear before Superior Judge Murphy for resentence to-day. He is making what appears to be a heroic attempt at insanity, and, strapped hand and foot, he howled all the way over from the prison. When placed in the jail van he screamed and moaned, apparently taking no notice of those around him. At the jail he re- fused to walk, and had to be carried inside. In the cell he sat on the floor and jdioti- call{ spat at invisible objectsin the air and could not be made to talk. He has been playing the crazy role at San Quentin, but with little success, as the prison officials who have watched him closely are convinced that he is shamming. After his resentence to-day his attorney, | George E. Colwell, will move to haye him adjudged insane. It is stated that the murderer’s father; in Germany, has de- cided to make no more efforts in his behalf. REFUGEES WILL GO BACK Four Fugitives From the Sand- wich Islands Are Granted Amnesty. Local Plotters Against the Opera Bouffe Republio Forced to Begin Agaln. In a little room off the Sparta saloon on Battery street a group of conspirators has met day after day, complained of the slow- ness of the Federal Government, and formed plots for the overthrow of the pre- vailing Government on the Sandwich Islands. Each had his little bank in which he deposited his spare nickels with which to purchase a man-of-war. They discussed with glee the precautiéns taken by the Dole Government to guard against invasion, bt were not quite sure whether they would start from San Francisco, Guatemala, Victoria, Japan or the South Sea Islands. Now they find they will have to begin planning all over again. Four of their number, all gentlemen with large property on the islands, have decided to take ad- vantage of an amnesty from the Hawaiian repubiic and return to Honolulu and their various businesses, forever renouncing any intention of recalling Postmaster-General at Honolulu, John Raden, Nick Peterson and James Brown. The story of their defection has been rumored for some time. There can be no doubt now of their desire to return. Messrs. Wedenburg, Raden and Brown have already arranged to go back to their families. The arrival of the Australia to- day will bring word to Mr. Peterson grant- ing his application. '?hen- are about twenty of the refugees in San Francisco. There are three in Vic- toria, two in Seattle, a number in Japan and Australia and one in London. These men were confined a month and a half in cells 5 feet by 7, and given only three hours’ exercise each day. Some of them had been very active politic: looked upon as dangerous, though nothing could be charged against them. They were finally released, without having been tried, upon their promise to leave the jslands. They were glad to accept the offer, as they feared for their lives. The refugees have complained to their various governments, demanding repara- tion. Most of them were Americans. and ali have been waiting the action of the Tnited States. In the meanwhile a nam- ber were given to understand that they would be allowed to return if they would romise to uphold the present Government. &ost of them have refused, and will wait till their cases are taken cognizance of officially. ———————— A New Fruit Company.

SMALL WONDER HE HAS FOLLOWERS All Great Men Create Disciples, All Great Men Have Imitators, All Great Things Have Cheap Substitutes. There is no private citizen to-day who stands 50 comspicuously before the public as does Robert J. Ingersoll. No matter whether you believe as he does or mot you seem drawn to him. He has & wonderful personality. He states things with such a peculiar grace and truthful air, all the while giving out his ideas in the matchless diction—in the Ingersoll’s die- tion. He is the great word-painter; no man in the country paints so beautifully with words. Ingalls is his nearest compeer. Ingalls congre- gates adjectives. His word-painting has too much red; Ingersoll blends. He 18 your true painter. What can be grander than his “Picture of Health.” Said he: 8 “Give me a healthy family of men, women and children and I will vouch for their honesty, sobriety and morality. It isdisease that cre- ates appetites. Disease imbrutes men. It makes liars, hypocrites, fiends and drunkards. If the Mississippi ran clear rum, if its banks were loaf-sugar fringed with mint, no more mint juleps would be drunk than there are now."” Disease drives men to drink. The greatest benefactor is he who cures the sick. He who | helps others to be strong men and women gives them the greatest help. Small wonder such a man is liked. He comes at the truth squarely and fairly. He tells you the truth in elegant language. He tells you to | assist others o they may assist themselves. ‘There is one California product which Inger- soll would surely be glad to indorse. It is the Home Remedy, Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. It makes pure blood, and pure blood makes good men and women. Persons suffering from blood disorders, skin aflictions and torpid liver should use the Cali- fornia Herb Remedy, Joy's Vegetable Sarsa- parilla. | Like Ingersoll, it has many imitators. There are many nasty substitutes that may or may not be offered to you, but you should refuse them all. Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparila has been indorsed by all kinds and conditions of men and women.
