THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1895. 11 LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, Changes That May Be Made by the Board of Public Works To-Day. A BETTER CHIEF OF POLICE. Nuptials of Howard T. Osgood and Elsle R. Killum—A New Ma- sonic Home. The second meeting of the Board of Pub- lic Works since the Superior Court decided that the incumbents are entitled to the reins of power will be held to-day, and it is expected that some of the changes in im- portant public offices which are known to be under contemplation will be made. That no changes have been made up to the present is due to the fact that Messrs. Davie, Peirsol and Wilson, comprising the new board, promised the members of the old board, Messrs. Hughes and Miiler, that no chang would be made in salaried the courts had been given an ity to pass on the merits of the ns to the seats. It is understood that City Engineer Wil- son has been granted the privilege of nam- ing the Superintendent of Streets who will succeed the incumbent, T. .. Har- rison, and that his choice is M. K. Miller, a young civil engineer who bears an ex- cellent reputation in his profession. Heisa brother-in-law of Superior Judge Ogden resided in Oakland for several rs past. Should he be nominated by Mr. Wilson Attorney Peirsol’s vote will also be for him. As compensation he will be name the assistant superin- Gi cast allcwed to tendent, which pays the same salary as er office, and will probably ap- point George Hoguet, a Grand Army vet- eran, Mr. Peirsol himself being a member of that organization. There are several other positions under the superintendent which are to be filled, but no selections for them have been made public. The sitions of Chief of Police, Chief of the Fire Department and first and sec- ond assistants of the latter official, have already been slated it is d, but no changes are to be made until the Street Department is all in running order. Chief of Police EBchaffer has admitted that his day is past and that he expects to be superseded at any time. His successor will be either Hugh Aldrich, an ex-police- man and now a practicing attorney of Oak- land, or C. E. Lloyd, a prominent Populist who was a ted Under Sheriff by Sheriff White, but resigned shortly after- ward. It issaid that h resignation was handed in with the expectation of receiv- ing the more remunerative office. The candidates for the Fire Department positions are only ‘“prominently men- tioned” so far, but T. A. Campbell seems to be in the lead for Chief. A Fashionable Wedding. .

The Ralilroad Must Pay. he city treasury will be enriched to-day by the payment by the Southern and Cen- tral Pacific railroad companies of $43500 as a portion of their taxes for 1895. Yester- day morning the attorneys for the railroad, Messrs. Moore and Martin, and City At- torney Peirsol agreed to a stipulation that $3465 30 and $1076 90, representing a por- tion of the tax in dispute, be withdrawn from the hands of the court and paid into the city treasury. The announcement was reached in order that the city shall be able to use the money at once instead of being obliged to wait until the suit is decided. The remainder of the money, over $12,000, will remain in the hands of the court until the suit now being considered is decided. The com- pany filed its answer to the suit of the city 1o recover the disputed taxes yesterday. The answer is based on the ground that Council acted illegally when it sat last year as a Board of Equalization. ‘Will Build at Decoto. Work on the Masonic Home for Widows and Invalids at Decoto is to be begun at once on the plans proposed some time ago by the Masonic fraternit Two years ago the plan of building the home was broached, but the difficulty of raising the large amount of money ne- cessary to build the home caused it to be 1sid aside for the time being. Now the Masons of the coast have de- termined to go ahead with the matter and the trustees are to meet on Thursday next and devise some means for raising the ne- cessary $65,000. The home-is to be built almost entirely of stone, and when fin- ished will accommodate 150 inmates. The tract of land on which the home is to be located is one of the handsomest pieces of property in that neighborhood, consisting of 268 acres. Brown Will Be Sent to Sea. Judge Ogden yesterday gave Thomas Brown a chance to reform, and granted him two weeks in which to find a vessel on which to ship and get away from the con- taminating influences of life on shore. Brown, whose teal name is Casey angd who resides in San Francisco, was arrested some time ago on suspicion of being a burglar and distinguished himself a few weeks later by making a clever escape from a Deputy Sheriff while awaiting arraign- ment in Judge Frick's court. He was recaptured at San Jose and sent back to jail, but on his father pleaaing for him and agreeing to send him to sea, and on a showing by the prosecuting attorney that the case against him was not siron g, he was given a chance by the Judge. Brown is only 17 years of age. Going to Alaska. The excursion to Alaska, which has been arranged by Rev. H. H. Rice, of Oakland, will leave by the City of Pueblo to-day, returning on’ the 30th inst by the Umatilla. Those who will go on the excursion are: Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Rice, Dr. and Mrs. J. 8. Adams, Miss Carrie Adams, Miss M. Bpringer, Miss L. B. Davis, Miss Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. de Golia, Mrs. George Boole, Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Joseph Lan- caster, all of Oakland; Mrs, H. A.

Woodbams, Santa Clara; Miss Anna J. Summerfield, Carson City. y’-er!lu'e by Professor Markham. Atthe meeting of the Institute of Applied Christianity last evening Professor C. E. Markham of the Tompkins School read a paper on “The State as an Organism.” He .00k the same view of the matter as is held oy Elisha Mulford and Bluntscheli Newman. Oakland Brevities. The threatened contest of the will of William Bonsfield, tre eccentric English- man who died in Oakland some time ago, leaving an estate of about $10,000, has been averted by one of the guplicants for let- ters of administration wigtdrawing his pe- tition. The two applitants were D. C. Bates and J. Brown, the former withdraw- | ing. Bates based his contest on the aliega- | tion that a codicil to the will attached | after the testator had been released from an insane asylum was invalid. Judge Ogden decided otherwise, and Bates with- drew. The First Presbyterian Church of Ha; wards has incorporated, with the folloy ing trustees: Dr. George E. Alexander, George Gray, Joseph T. Machado, Fred- i‘ri\i\k C. Batchelder and Walter M. Bul- ock. Dr. . Stillwagon, son of the late Dr. W. W. Stillwagon of Napa, died vester- day at his residence, 565 Seventeenth street, of consumption. The remains were taken to Napa for interment. L. ALAMEDA, Frank K. Millington filed a complaint before the City Trustees last evening against the High-street shooting-range of | Company G. He claims that ordinance | is being utterly disregarded in that o | Isare displayed and that no one is stationed to notify marksmen of any per- son being in the line of the target. The ordinance plainly states that signals must | be displayed and a person placed to warn | the marksman of any one being in the line | of the target. Mr. Millington claims that | the range is a nuisance. More Damage Suits. Mrs. C. J. Norman, formerly of 1210 | Broadway, and Mrs. J. K. Barstow of 1315 | Chestnut street, have retained Delmas & Shortridge to bring damage suits against the Alamedaand Oakland Electric Railway. | They were injured on the 23d of March on 3 a avenue while riding bicycles. . Barstow had an arm broken and Mrs. Norman bad her hip broken. Same Nuniber of Applications. Twenty-three applications for renewal of liquor licenses were submitted to the Trustees last evening, being the same number as during the previous fiscal year. | The yearly license is $500, one-half of | which payable now, so that by the 1st of August there will be an addition of | $5750 in the city treasury from this source, Aunie Aguin in Trouble. Mrs. Francis had a warrant issued yes- terday for the arrest of her daughter, . ie, for vagrancy. The young girl cre- ated a stir when she left her home, a little more than a month ago, on ac- count of her roaming about at late and unusual hours. They live near the Nep- tune Gardens. Her father had the pre- | vious complaint issued and, changing his mind about prosecution, was compelled to pa costs before the case would be dis- Horse Thieves Caught. Thomas Lee, a farmer at Fruitvale, re- ported to the police yesterday the theft of | three of his horses Sunday night. At about noon word was received from Hay- | wards that not only his property but a | fourth horse and two rigs, stolen from neighbors, had been recovered at Hay- | wards and the thieves arrested. A Pioneer’s Funeral. | The funeral of A.J. Schumacher took | place yesterday from the family residence on Railroad avenue. Four pall-bearers were members of the San Francisco Scheutzen Verein, and two were from the | Odd Fellows’ lodge of which he was a x\\_mmher. The interment was in Mountain iew. For a Brush Fire. | Analarm from box 12 yesterday.about noon was for a brush and grass fire in the lot at the corner of Taylor avenue and Third street. The fire was quite a large one, and ignited the picket fence. The flames were extinguished by the Webster chemical. Big Deal Consummated. Judge James A. Waymire of this city, representing a wealthy syndicate, has co! summated a deal whereby the big Turlock izrigation system will soon be completed. | The syndicate will receive bonds in pay- ment to the amount of $382, | | | | | BERKELEY. On Sunday night at about 10:30 o’clock what was supposed to have been a daring robbery took place at the corner of Milvia and Haste streets. People 1n the vicinity were aroused by cries and shrieks and ran to the doors of their houses to see several men struggling in the street. Mr. Partridge and Willie Blackree heard the victim who'was being overcome shout | “I am being robbed,” and soon after saw two men running down the street, pursued by the person whose pockets they had been rifling. Mr. Partridge did not go to the assistance | of the victim, as he had no firearms and the men appeared too desperate to encoun- ter unarmed. | What makes the case very mysterious is the fact that no complaint has yet been made to the town officers by the man | whose pockets were supposed to have been empticd by footpads. Athlete Humphreys Robbed. Harry Humphreys, a former student and prominent athlete of the university, left college some time ago to join a theatrical | company, but before rting out on his | tour loaned the manager $1000, and he now believes that he has been robbed of his money. Humphreys has recently been play- ing minor parts at Morosco’s and | not long ago became acquainted with J. H. W. Harris, an Oakland man, who possessed | apparently considerable ambition to be- come an actor. Harris induced Humph- | reys to loan him $1000, which was to be | used in organizing a stock company which was to make a tour of the State. Harris was to be manager and Humphreys was to | play the leading part. Harris has left the country, taking near- ly all the borrowed money with him and it is supposed that he has gone East, leav- ing Humphreys in the lurch. Moonlight Cycling Picnic. The members of the Crescent Athletic Club and their lady friends will have a cycling run to Alameda to-morrow even- ing. where a moonlight picnic will be held at the Athletic Park. Dancing, games and bicycling racing will make up the enter- tainment of the evening. Child-Beater Fined. Theodore Thornbere, who whipped his 8. year-old boy so unmercifully on last Fri- day, has been fined $50 by Judge Lord. | | | Keep a careful eye upon the baking pow- der sent you by your grocer to see that an inferior brand is not substituted for the Royal. There are many cheap imitations of thnis necessary leavening agent, sold under some other name, which, because of the greater profiv they afford to the dealer, are sometimes sent to the customer when Royal is wanted. e — This Was a Very Thirsty Dog. A young Wissahickon man, so the tale goes, owned a dog of mongrel breed, which had added to its one great undesirable quality of low birth the more offensive one of the mange. The young man_ determined to sever his connection with the animal, and with that end in view he secured a large washtub and put staples in the inside of it, with ropes attached to them, to securely hold the dog and keep its head under water. He caught the dog just as it camein after a long tramp in the dusty roads. The doomed animal was preparing to slake its thirst at the hydrant, when its master grabbed it and tied it down in the tub. Then he turned on the water and let it run until the dog’s head was totally sub- merged. He couldn’t bear to see the poor brute suffer, so he went away for a quarter of an hour. He came back expecting to find the dog dead. Strange to say, how- ever, the dog was very much alive. There was no water in the tub. Neither' was there any leak in it. The dog had simply quenched his thirst. Philadelphia Record. | which says that the object of the club is | urer, OAKLAND'S - SUFFRAGISTS, | Prominent Women Organize a New Political Equality Club. A MAN ELECTED PRESIDENT. The Object Is to Gain for All Females the Electoral Franchise. As a result of the recent visit of Miss Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw to the Athens of the Pacific, Oakland has a genuine Woman'’s Suffrage Club, known as the Political Equality Society of Ala- meda County of the California State ! Woman Suffrage Educational Association. The lectures delivered in Oakland by the two celebrated female suffragists were | largely attended by members of the four hundred, and the spirit and knowledge im- bibed from them aided materially in the formation of the new society. ‘While they were yet here the project of a political equality club was broached, and met with much favor. Several days ago, just after the two noted women’s rights speakers had left, several ladies met in the Albany Hotel and effected a temporary organization with Mrs. Ada Van Pelt as president and Mrs. Lloyd Baldwin secretary. Yesterday aboutthree score of ladies and two lone men, who seemed sadly out of place, met at thesame place and a permanent organization was effected. A lengthy constitution was adopted, aid in_procuring for woman the elect franchise, embracing all the rights, priv leges and immunities of civil and political liberty, and to educate her fully to com- prehend and appreciate the various prin- ciples and duties of free government. he constitution further states that the duty of the club is to circulate suffrage petitions among the Eeuplo, to hold public meetings and to make their work known throughout the land. The different sec- tions were adopted without opposition, and those relative to the electoral fran- chise were received with enthusiasm. Officers were elected as follows: Presi- dent, Dr. J. K. McLean, pastor of the First Congregational Church; vice-presi- dents—Mrs. Dr. Kellogg Lane, Mrs, Charles Webb Howard, Colonel Babcoc! Mrs. I. N. Chapman and Mrs. Judge Haight; secretary, Mrs. George Uhl; treas- Mrs. L. G. Judd; auditors, Mrs. Heath and Mrs. Lloyd Baldwin. Rev. Mrs. Eliza Wilkes gave as her reason for | nominating a male member for president that they wanted to reach the men. It was decided that meetings should be held the first Monday of each month. In the lengthy discussions that came up on the adoption of the constitution, some of the ladies showed themselves to be parlia- mentarians of more than ordinary ability. The club already has nearly a hundred members, and by their next meeting they expect to have almost double that num- ber. Some of the leaders most interested in the movement are: Rev. Mrs. Eliza Wilkes, Mrs. Lloyd Baldwin. Chabot, Mrs. John Uhl, Mrs. Emma Shafter How- ard, Mrs. Chick, Mrs. Colonel Babcock, Mrs. Dr. J. K. McLean, Mrs. Dr. Kellogg Lane, Mrs. Wilder, Miss Bennett, Miss Littlejohn, Miss Moilie Connors, Mrs. Van Pelt and Mrs. John Heath. THE CORONER'S REPORT, Remarkable Insufficiency of the Morgue Shown by Dr. Hawkins. Improvements Under Way—The Gruesome Records In Death of the Fiscal Year. “The Morgue should be removed at once to more suitable quarters,” says Coroner Hawkins in his annual report. *“Removal is imperative, because certain necessary improvements cannot be made until this is done,” continues the doctor. “A refrigerating-room should be imme- diately constructed. The walls might be of cement, with a glass front, through which unidentified bodies could be easily and readily seen. The law requires bodies to be kept for twenty-four hours for identi- fication. That is not a sufficient time. At least two or three days should be the minimum limit. Then many persons buried’as ‘unknown’ would undoubtedly be identified. The refrigerating-room should be supplied with a system of cold storage including an arrangement of pipes with ammonia or some other substance to abstract the heat from the air. “In murder cases the preservation of the body for several days would frequently aid in the detection of criminals, Nearly every large Eastern city has a refrigerating- room attached to the Morgue.” The cost of this improvement Dr. Hawkins esti- mates will be $1200. The autopsy-room is declared to be ridiculously inadequate in every way for the proper dissection of bodies. The apparatus is ancient and insufficient and at least $1500 will be needed to purchase necessary instruments and appliances. The Coroner cites the case of Minnie Williams to illustrate the poverty of the appliances in the autopsy room. In that case, he says, a microscopic examination was necessary to ascertain essential facts. Having no microscope, the Coroner was compelled to rely upon the friendship of outside microscopists. The microscope wanted will cost $150. Then, again, there is no repository for Morgue records. They are thrown every- where. It is practically impossible to look up the history of cases that happened vears ago. Fireproof lockers are needed. They would cost about $150. Coroner Hawkinsannounces he has com- | menced the extensive work of improve- ment by baving one of the rooms on the third floor fitted up for a laboratory, where chemical analysis of stomachs may be made. Heretofore the work has been done by outsiders away from the jurisdiction of officers of the law. That ‘such has been the procedure, writes the Coroner, is a shame and a scandal—a public disgrace, an insult to the dead and a cause of grief to the friends and relatives of the dead. There is_plenty of opportunity offered to make chemical substitutions while the stomachs sent out for analysis are away from the office, so that the real purpose of the analysis is very liable to be defeated by designing persons interested in do- ing so. The new laboratory now being fitted up will cost about $250. Coroner Hawkins suggests that in re- moving the Morgue a location as close to the present one 1s possible be chosen, and until such time as the proposed new build- ing to be erected on the site of the old City Hall is constructed. Then follows a list of expenses incurred in the prosecution of the duties of the Coroner’s office for the fiscal year ended June 30, as follows Chemical analysts. Rewards for recove: Francisco Bay. 600 00 Interpreters... 95 00 Boat hire for recovery of body 3 5 00 Witnesses’ rallroad fare (cases of Eugene Ware and Ah HOW)........ 8 65 Total cereeeannneens. 82078 68 During the year 626 deaths were reported to the Coroner; 307 inquests were held and 589 autopsies made. There were 119 suicides, Of that num- ber 114 were white, four yellow and one biack. One hundred and five were males, fourteen were females. Marriage is a mild preventive of self-destruction. ~ Fifty-two suicides were married and fifty-five single. The religions of the self-destroyed are tabled as fellows: Christian, 102; Jewish, 5; pagan, 4; unknown, 7; infidel, 1. Ire- land was the birthplace of fifteen, Ger- many of twenty-seven and the United States of thirty-six suicides. Of the causes despondency drove 51 to self-destruction, insanity 17, sickness 8, and the bat, jag and razzle-dazzle are accountable for 43. The methods used were various. The istol was a favorite means—49 used it. unging was resorted to by 16 persons, and gas by 9. Carbolic acid, morphine and strychnine were the favorite poisons. There were 25 murders, 4 homicides, 142 accidental deaths, 119 suicides, 69 deaths from unknown causes, and 267 from natural causes. ] In speaking of his references to the un- fit condition of the Morgue, Dr. Hawkins said yesterday: “Itis a blot upon the fair name of our City, and I regard as a provi- dential intuition the action of TrE CALL in first making known to the public the un- wholesome truths about it. I am in hoves that the Supervisors will grant everything I have asked.” Protection from all alum baking powders can best be secured by the consumer look- ing carefully at the label, and declining to accept any substitute for the well-known, well-tried Royal, which all public tests show to be absolutely pure and wholesome. ) PLUM FOR STRATION The Well-Known Lawyer Made Attorney for the Santa Fe. 3 Ccunselor Gleed and Chalrman Cheney Locating a Terminus In This Clty. Frederick S. Stratton, the well-known lawyer, has been appointed attorney for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rai road Company for San Francisco. This is quite an important move on the part of the company, and it would seem to confirm the rumor that the road is coming into this City at no distant date. Mr. Stratton was out cn the bay yester- day with two of the biggest men in the company. Charles 8. Gleed, oneof the head counselors in the law department, and J. P.Cheney Jr., chairman of the board of reorganization. Both gentlemen are invested with considerable power in the affairs of the company, and the principal object of their visit to this City is said to be to {ncme a Western terminus for the road. While the trip around the bay yesterday was mainly one of pleasure, there was con- siderable business connected with it. China Basin was visited and thoroughly discussed as a point of vantage, and other possible termini were inspected. The railroad magnates on their return East, it is given out, will report in favor of extending the road to this City, and their recommendation will have great weight. Mr. Gleed represents $200,000,000 worth of bonds in the road and is reputed to be worth $70,000,000 himseif. Mr. Stratton, when seen lagt evening, was surprised to learn that the news of his having been selected as attorney for the road was known. He said that the matter had not yet been settled, but that it prob- ably would be in a short time. F. 8. Stratton reached a high rank in his profession with rapid strides, his work of any note being done while attorney for the Harbor Commissioners, which office he held for four years up to a_few months ago. While he held. this position his out- side practice was constantly increasing, until he was finally obliged to resign in ordet to attend to his private business. His advice was found to be invaluable while in the employ of the Btate and dur- ing his service he never lost a case. He was one of the attorneys for Mrs. Joan Hunter in the celebrated Hunter will con- test. He worn the case, which at one time looked almost hopeless, and 1eceived a fee of $80,000. Mr. Stratton was also one of the counsel for the Harbor Commissioners during the consideration of the China Basin lease to the Valley road, which was signed yesterday afternoon. ———— HOTEL ARRIVALS.

The Tunnel Company Will Co-Oper- ate on a Large Scale With the Mine-Owners. The Comstock companies that purchased properties on the Brunswick lode lying opposite to their Comstock holdings have begun practical work of development, with the prospect of profitable outcome from the proposition which Franklin Leonard, president of the Comstock Tun- nel Company, will suggest to'his board of directors in New York. The recent pur- chase of these claims on the Brunswick lode has been looked upon by holders of stock in the Hale & Norcross, Con. Vir- ginia and Savage as a move not only for the enhancement of the stock but for the development of another Comstock. But as this development could be accomplished only through an economic system of trans- portation and treatment the superintend- ents of the mines sought the co-operation of the Comstock Tunnel Company for a solution of the problem of cheap trans- portation. Mr. Leonard has spent some tinie at the mines studying the situation, and while in this City several days ago gave his views on thesubject to THE CALL. At that time he expressed confidence in the profitable wick lode, and announced the readiness of the Tunnel Company to meet the superin- tendents in any reasonable proposition for the common good of the companies inter- ested. Heand Herman Zadig went again to Virginia City, whence Mr. Zadig re- turned yesterday very much gratified over the conclusions arrived at by Mr. Leonard and the mine superintendents, concerning which he said: I am satisfied that within sixty days the de- velopments on the Brunswick lode will show evidences of the wisdom of the mine superin- tendents in beginning active work on the new claims. The proposition which Mr. Leonard will lay before his board of directors is one of fairness to all parties concerned, and will be e BeTeation of the tunnel company as well as the lifting of the mining companies to places of great prominence on the stock boards. In SixBmonths we will see a big boom in those stocks affected by this work. Mr. Leonard end I went over the Brunswick lode again very carefully and found nothing to change our opinions as to its greatness. The Hale & Norcross Company is running an in- cline shaft to the vein on their new purchase. The Con.
