The great Standard Oil trust has threat- ened to drive George W. Arper, the oil merchant of this eity, out of business if he does not buy some of their products. Mr. Arper has been_importing oil direct from the East, his orders being placed with one of the companies which is fichting the Standard. A representative of the Stan- dard Oil Company recently called upon Mr. Arper and told him that he must give them some of his trade or he would be driven out of business. Mr. Arper posi- tively refnsed to accede to their request and fold them to do their worst. S Mr. Arper states that he understands that_they propose to come into Oakland and sell oii at 25 per cent less than cost. If they do it Mr. Arper says that he will y shut up shop and not attempt to a gallon of oil until they have got ough. “It would be useless for me to fight then,” he said. “I shall let them do the fighting until they get tired of it.” CHARGES ¥FRAUD. Jehu Mrs. Accuses W. A. Keefer of Mining Fame. Sarah Jehu of Alameda thinks she has been swindled by W. A. Keefer, who is somewhat well known in mining circles in San Francisco. Ina complaint which she has filed in the Superior Court she accuses him of having palmed off upon her some worthless shares in the Jupiter Gravel Mining and Water Company, in return for some property in Alameda. Mr. Keefer told her that the stock was worth about $4000, and that if she could not sell it for 1893, he would reccnvey the land to her and take back the shares. He has never done this, though Mrs. Jehu has tried, v. v, to sell tock at any price. She sues jor a re covery of her land and the rentals which accrued on it. * “0ld Homestead.” The “Oid Homestead” will be at the Macdonough Theater for the rest of the week.

Mayor Davie has appointed the follow- ren to constitute the board of ces of the Exempt Firemen’s relief de la Montanya, Evers and Peter 'he Council is required to set aside a sum not exceeding $12,000 from the eral fund each year for the relief of the xempts. The City Treasurer will have | charge of the funds. Fruitmen Object. The fruitmen in the vicinity of Niles are objecting to the new rule of the railroad company which requires all fruit to be at the L]lcput before 5 o'clock in the afternoon. In consequence the growers are compelled to quit picking in the middle of the after- noon in order to get their fruit to the depot on time. It is stated that the rail- { road will be asked to change back to the old rule. which allowed the receipt of ship- ments until 6:30 o’clock. They Must Be Paid. The Board of Police and Fire Commis- sioners have referred to the Council the request of Chief Lawton of the Fire De- partment for substitutes to the permanent men of partment while they are taking their vacations. A law passed by the last Legislature makes the granting of vacations to all permanent firemen man- datory, but says nothing about the pay- ment of substitutes. Has Disappenared. T. Marsh, collector for George W. Arper, is missing. Mr. Arper haslooked over his ac- counts and thinks that Mr. Marsh mulcted him in the sum of about $300. Marsh has not been seen since last Saturday, but it is believed that he has gone to Sacramento. The shortages extend over a period of about six months. Arper has been unfor- | tunate with other collectors before, and that he will put the next one under heavy bonds. Almost Empty. The general fund of the city is. seriously depleted and it cannot be assisted by moneys coming in for a considerable time. So a large number of the city’s creditors will be compelled to discount their war- rants. Mayor Davie places the blame upon the apportionment of moneys among the different funds instead of placing the bulk of the city’s revenues in the general fund and making transfers whenever necessary from it. Ambrosewf’s Sentence. 8. A. Ambrosewf, the Russian doctor, who claims to be acquainted with Count Tolstoi and the Czar of Russia, was sen- tenced to pay a fine of $100 in the Police Court yesterday afternoon. Ambrosewf was accused of practicing medicine in this city without first obtaining a license. The case was appealed to the Superior Court and Ambrosewf was released on bonds. Ben Morgan Withdraws. Ben Morgan has withdrawn from the law firm of Severance, Morgan & Sherman of 8an Francisco. A new firm, under the name of Severance, Sherman & Co. has been formed. Itis stated that Mr. Mor- gan’s withdrawal was occasioned by dis- agreements extending over a long period. He Was Angry. Alfred McAlister of San Francisco has been sued for divorce by Mrs. Nellie Mc- Alister of Temescal. The two were se- cretly married on April 30, 18%4. In June of the same year Mrs. McAlister revealed the secret, and Mr. McAlister threatened to kill her in consequence. She charges cruelty in the complaint. Can Now Teach.

Irvine and Manson of the State Bureau of Highways Give Their Views. Commissioners Irvine and Manson of the State Bureau of Highways held a con- ference with the Alameda County Board of Supervisors yesterday afternoon. The previons day County Clerk Jordan took the Commissioners over the main county roads, so that their advice was based on a knowledge of facts. Mr. Manson explained the purpose of their visit and said: “The first thing necessary to be done is to be sure that you have a legal title to your roads. In many instances suitsare brought against counties to determine title to roads. In San Bernardino thirty suits were brought and the county lost twenty- nine. After the title comes the question of the best grades. It is not always best to take the cheapest grade. Study the drain- age well; this is of the greatest import- ance. Then consider what will make the most permanent highwa The best rock should be obtained and it should be put down in the best manner. “In this county I believe you have 464 miles of road. In five vears you have spent $388,000, or nearly $800 a mile. The greater part of this is wasted, because you spend it in driblets and on perishable roads. The initial step toward good roads has only just been taken by the establish- To attain this jment of this bureau. b county must work in harmony with county. “We entered Alameda through Milpitas | and Niles, and in many cases the roads were far from being creditable. I would recommend that you have a county map made showing the exact condition of each road, so that at a glance you would be able to tell exactly what was wanted and where it was wanted when you are apportioning your road money. . “Yesterday we drove across to Ala- meda, and the road along which we drove was awfully poor and contrasted strongly with the beautiful streets of Ala- meda.” Commissioner Irvine was the next speaker. ‘‘AlamedaSupervisors,” he said, “‘do not comply with the law in the mat- ter of road districts. They still adhere to the old road districts instead of dividing the county into supervisorial districts. Do not attempt to make too much new road, but make it good. Alameda County has need of such improvement in her roads.” “We were laboring under the delusion that our county roads were the best in the State,”” said Chairman Bayly. “We do not like to be told that we have worse high- ways than Santa Clara County.” | “Isaw the boulevard that is being built | around Lake Merritt,” said Manson, ‘“‘and |if I were going to grow a spring crop I | would not like the ground to be in softer condition than that upon which the rock is being laid. 1t is not rolled nearly enough to insure a good road.” Seth Mann said that Alameda contains within her quarries the very best rock in the State J\n«!l that there is no reason why she should not have the best roads. nan Bridges referred to the valuable 1 'y irst-class rock that is located on the grounds of the County Infirmary that could be worked to advantage. A conversation followed on the value of criticism, and the Supervisors showed very plainly that they thought them- selves well able to take care of their own roads. This caused Commissioner Irvine to refer in clear language to the prevailing indifference. . “I would like to hear from some one else about good roads,” Mr. Bayly said, as each | speaker sat down, and as he spoke he | smiled at his colleagues in a manner that plainly implied that the addresses of the Commissioners were something to be toler- ated rather than appreciated. LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA, Everything in Readiness for the New Combination Railway Depot. A Chicago Minister Marries Miss Helen Hart—Ladles In Liv- ing Plctures. The resolution introduced to close Rail- road avenue east of Park street for the pro- posed site for the new depot will probably be passed Monday evening, clearing the way for therailroad people to proceed with the erection of the combination passenger and freight depot. The sale of the old buildings occupying the site was on the condition that they be moved within twenty days. The negotiations looking toward this improvement have been conducted prin- cipally through the medium of the late General Manager A. N, Towne. The company will not commence opera- tione until after the passage of the resolu- tion by the City Trustees, and it is possible action may be delayed until after the receipt of the deed of gift to the property on which the old depot stands. ‘Wedded a Minister. Rev. Burton R. Jones of Chicago and Miss Helen Hart of this city were married at the residence of the bride’s parents on Park avenue Tuesday evening, Rev. W. D. Bishop officiating. The bride was a teacher iu: tne Porter School and resigned at the close of the last term. She isthe daughter of Rev. E. P. Hart, general superintendent of the Free Methodist church. The bride and groom were class- mates in their school days. Rev. Mr. Jones resides in Chicago, and for four years was editor of the Kree Methodist. ‘At the general conference last fall Rev. Mr. Jones was elected one of the general superintendents of the Free Methodist church. The young couple will leave for the East next week and attend the annual conference. They will reside permanently in Chicago. Only relatives and a few in- timate friends were invited to the wedding ceremonies. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful presents.

Klein, daugh- ter of P, R, Klein, a well-known Republi- can, to Willis Cross of the San Francisco News Company will take place at the resi- dence of the bride’s parents, 254 Haven street, North Oakland, on Sunday even- ing. July 2L WORKING FOR RICHMOND, The Point Lobos Improvement Club In- quires Into the Rights of the Mar- Kket-street Cable Company. An adjourned meetingof the Point Lobos Improvement Club was held at Laurel Hall, Richmond District, last night. Ow- ing to a misunderstanding on the part of the executive committee, the attendance was rather limited, though this fact did not prevent the transaction of business important to the district. A letter from_the Fire Commissioners relative to _moving engine 26 from Fifth avenue to Second avenue was read. The Commissioners agreed to grant the request of the club, though they stated in their letter that the change could notbe made before December 1. The matter of the affiliated colleges came up for consideration. Acting Chairman Fletcher stated that he had seen two mem- bers of the committee, and from them learned that the site, corner Central avenue and Point Lobos avenue, offered by the Improvement Club, was second choice. “It only requires,” he said, “a little extra work on our part, and toe victory is ours.” A resolution was adopted requiring the secretary to write to the Park Commis- sioners relative to the right of the Market- street Lable Company to lay its rails on Point Lobos avenue. The secretary was also requested to inform the Board of Health of the fearful sanitary condition of the Richmond Primary School. FOTE TACKLES ALTON The Alameda County Assessor Prepared to Defend His Valuations. The Owner Wants Lake Merritt Property Reduced by One- Half. Edson F. Adams of Oakland is anxious for large reductions on two plats of his property in the vicinity of Lake Merritt. Yesterday morning his application was considered by the Supervisors and for over an hour W. W. Foote fired questions at Assessor Dalton with a view to showing that the Adams estate is about half as valuable as Mr. Dalton declares it to be. Foote compared the Adams property with that surrounding it and attempted to show that there was discrimination. The Assessor stated that Foote was purposely making comparisons with the poorest of the surrounding property insteaa of with the highest. % Chairman Bayley reminded Foote that the District Attorney was the legal adviser of the board and he should decide. Mr. Foote replied: “I will state thatan application has been filed for a reduction, but before any reduction can be made the owner of the property must be sworn and answer questions. We want to examine the Assessor first. He wants to stop and have Mr. Adams examined first.” The District Attorney ruled that Foote could proceed as he pleased. *I am going to show to this board con- clusively that property is worth more money than it is assessed for,” said Dal- ton. “Then you ought to have assessed it for more,”’ retorted Foote. “And now you would like the board to take action in twenty minutes,” said Dal- ton. “Mr. Dalton is not supreme. He seems to think so. He has a sworn duty to per- form, and he has undertaken to raise this assessment 134 per cent, and he has done it under his oath of office to obey the law. ‘We merely assert that the time is short, and want to go on with the case,” dec.lared Foote. “Mr. Footas seems to lay great stress on the length of time. This board has been in session seventeen days, and these gen- tlemen did not see fit to come here till last Monday,"” Dalton replied. After some more snaxpish conversation between attorney and Assessor the matter went over till 10 o’clock this morning. MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS. Director Murdock Protests Against the Small Appropriation of the Fi- nance Committee. School Director Charles A. Murdock has filed a protest with the Finance Commit- tee of the Board of Supervisors against the smallness of the appropriation for the schools. He says the estimate of the Board of Education’s committee of $1,200,000 was a bedrock one, and if it is not allowed the department will be thrown back con- siaerably. He regrets the restraining of the salary roll, which he says was wholly uncalled for. The last board, says Mr. Murdock, leit & heritage of lawsuits. The present board had estimated $75,000 for new buildings and $75,000 for repairs, and this branch of the department will need at least $300,000. In conclusion the Director says: Taking the bedrock cost established by the last board, and adding the 30,000 of increase explained in detail above, where will we stand if restricted to 1,000, It .will mean an actual reduction of $50,000 from the very low record of the last board; it will mean no im- provements of any value and no new buildings atall; it will mean no extension of manual training and cooking schools; it will mean no additional physical training and no progress in any direction; it will mean salaries lhnpla reduced, school buildings still unconnecte with sewers, unventilated, urpainted and with leaky roots: it will mean a generally parsi- monious administration of the department. Our schools do not deserve such treatment. They should be utmnglf sustained, and ot cramped and reduced. I believe the present board can be trusted to expend whatever you feel you can spare in a manner that will reflect credit on them and materially advance the welfare of the schools, In view of our urgent necessities I ennem{ hope that our uvm- priation may not fall below $1,100,000. Very respectfully, CHARLES A. MURDOCK. L —————— OUTLOOK FOR OROPS. According to the State Agricultural So- ciety’s Bulletin It Xs Not Bright. According to the weekly crop bulletin re- ceived by Secretary Filcher of the State Board of Trade from the State Agricultural Society yesterday, the grain crop outlook is not encounfmg. In its summing up of reports from all over the State it says: The weather during the past seven days has been quite favorable for summer crops. Thrash- ing is goin% on, and the fact becomes more pl{entcwh ay that the grain crop will be the shortest in years, as well as the poorest in qual- ity, it being very much shrunken from the ex- cess of north winds during June. The fruit crop is generally short, but the quality is most excellent and prices are encouraging, so that the shortness will be made up in better quslity and better prices. The wheat crop, be- ing poor in quality, will tend to lessen its money value and thereby reduce its intrinsic worth. Hops will not be an average crop, and beans are not doing well, except on bottom or stiff lands; those on sandy lands will be almost & total failure, for the want of moisture enough to bring them to proper maturity. - Glenson’s Exhibition, Oscar L. Gleason, the horse-tamer, will give his last exhibition in San Franeisco next Sun- day afternoon at Central Park, when he will attempt to tame and drive Jim Wicks, a stallion from g:nu Clara County. The horse has the reputation of being the most vicious animal in the Btate, and thus far has resisted every effort on the part of the most experienced horsemen to subdue him. An attractive equestrian programme will also be offered. e —————— Mayors Will Confer. A conference will be shortly held be- tween the Mayors of the three cities of Stockton, San ;ou and Oakland. Mayor Davie states that the purpose of the con- sultation will be to provide ways and nEx:l:l of advertising the three cities in the 8 CLAUS SPRECKELS BUYS Acquisition of the Doe Prop- erty on Market Street Near Jones. IT IS A FINE INVESTMENT. The Purchaser Now Owns the Land From the Murphy Building to Taylor Street. Another large transaction in real estate was concluded yesterday, the purchaser being Claus Spreckels. The property purchased is on the north side of Market street, between Taylor and Jones, with a frontage of 153 feet and a fraction from the east line of what is known as the Murphy building. The prop- erty also has a frontage on Golden Gate avenue, and being added to the gore lot on Taylor and Market streets and Golden Gate avenue, previously purchased by Mr. Spreckels, will give him a frontage on the City’s main thoroughfare of 817:113{ feet. The property is all improved, “The Colonnade” being on the gore lot and sev- eral other quite important buildings occu- pying the rest of the realty. As it is now in proximity to the City Hall it is one of the most valuable holdings on the street. The parties who sold the realty and im- provements are Charles E. Doe, Bartlett Doe and Charles E. Doe, executor of the estate of John 8. Doe. The sale was effected through C. C. Bemis, who, when asked the consideration, stated that he was not at liberty to name the amount. In course of time the purchaser intends to erect upon the property a magnificent modern buiiding. Mr. Spreckels has become the owner of another fine piece of property, situated on Broadway, 68 feet west of Laguna. 1t has a frontage of 40 feet by a depth of 137:6, and on it will be moved a comparatively new two-story dwelling which adjoins the home which the purchaser is building on Clay street, near Van Ness avenue. LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Oakland’s Water-Front Case Interests the Progressive Club. ! A Daring Footpad Folled—New Street Work—Blcyclists to Formally Organize.
