The case of Mrs. Eliza Scott, who was sent to the Ukiah Insane Asylum recently for refusing to take food for a length of time, has taken a sensational turn. Ad- vices have been received from Chicago which indicate that Mrs. Scott was well connected, and that she had a considerable amount of money upon ber when she came to Oakland. Mrs. R. H.

It was decided to co-operate with the Good Roads Association for the vurpose of pushing the work of completing the Contra Costa road across the Berkeley into the northern county. A long discussion followed on the ques- tion of abating the present nuisance created by mobs around the City Hall every evening, owing to the prohibition of street meetings. A communication was received asking that the exchange do allin its power to induce the Council not to re- peal the ordinance forbidding street meet- ings. A petition asking for its repeal is now being circulated among the churches. CALLS IT A PLOT. Hiram Doud Explains His Arrest for Insanity. Hiram Doud, an old resident of Melrose, is locked up in the County Jail upon sus- picion of insanity. The complaint was sworn to by J. C. Cardoza, brother-in-law of Doud. Doud claims that it is an out- rageous attempt on the part of Cardoza to railroad him to the asylum. He states that his brother-in-law has not treated his wife properly and that besides that he has used up $4000 or $5000 which she had when she married him. Doud says that Cardoza is a shiftlessand druuken fellow and that he bas been very hard to get along with. He thinks that Cardoza wants to get him into the asylum in order to have a clearer way. The two had a fight two weeks ago in which Doud came out second best. Mr. Doud thinks that all the “insanity” in the case was involved in that row. Doud’s ex- amination beforg'the lunacy commission- ers x:ill take place toward the end of the week. THEY COLLIDED. Her Experience With a Bicycle and a Car, Mrs. Alice C. Barstow of Alameda and her bicycle came into collision with a car of the Alameda electric line a few weeks ago. Mrs. Barstow and the bicycle landed at the byttom and now she has sued the company for damages to her nervous system amounting to $25,000, She alleges in her complaint that the accident was due to the carelessness of the motorman and that the bicycle was not to blame. The bicycle will be in evidence to prove its innocence of any malevolence in the suit. NO ONE WITHDREW, ‘A Very Delicate Situation in a School Board. Trustees Myers, Morrow and Medoff of the Hays Echool District all wanted to be elected secretary of the board when the annual election came around a few weeks ago. As it took two votes to elect the situ- ation was a sort of triplicate deadlock. Each one of the three waited and watched, expecting that some one of the other two “would gracefully resign.” But the *‘graceful resignations” were slow in com- ing. After waiting a reasonable time each of the three assumed an injured air as if he had been personally insulted. Bit still no gentleman withdrew. Meantime the business of the board was ata standstill. In this strained situation County Super- intendent of Schools Garlick finally de- termined to come to the rescue. He there- forej appointed Trustee Myers clerk of the board, and now the other gentlemen will not be required to *‘withdraw.” THEIR VALUE UNKNOWN. Curious Complications Over an Insane Man’s Estate. Curious complications have ariseh over the estate of F. V. Fisher, who was com- | mitted to the Napa Insane Asylum a few | go. Fisher has no relatives in the d States, and so his intimate friend, N. Kuss, applied for letters of gnardian- Now, before such letters can be issued a bond must be fixed according to the size of the estate. Mr. Fisher had property of the value of $5000 and besides a number of notes, kept in a strong box with the Safety Deposit Company. But Mr. Kuss knows absolutely nothing of the value of these notes and cannot be appointed guardian until the court has | some aBpmximute value of them. The Safety Deposit Company refuses access to them except by Mr. Fisher or some person authorized to represent him by the court. As the court cannot appoint without know- ing the value of the estate the complica- tion is rather serious and extraordinary one. Jurors Accepted. The following trial jurors were accepted to-day in the Superior Court for the term: J. M. Apear, P. Bralley, Ed Crinnan, J. C. Brown, Thomas Bridges, James Billis, J. H. Chipman, Daniel Chisholm, W. F. De- laney, Levi Flint, M. J. Finnigan, C. A. Fawcett, G. F. Gilson, J. C. Gruen, J.J. Haines, Henry Hampel, Charles Jacobs, J. R. Knowland, R. S, Leckie, W. Leonard, T: W. Le Ballister, W. S.

Sproul, Samuel Tate Jr.,.C. H. Trimmins and Joseph Wolirom. Mrs. Baroteau Speaks. Mrs. A. K. Baroteau makes emphatic denial of the statements that Rev. Junius Loring Hatch has been circulating about her unhappiness with Mr, Baroteau. The reverend gentleman, it will be remembered, was arrested upon a charge of disturbing the peace of the Barotean fnmilfl. He ex- Elaiued at the trial that he had been asked y Mrs, Baroteau to call upon her and ring the sidedoor bell. Mrs, Baroteau de- nies that she ever asked Mr. Hatch to call, or that Mr. Baroteau has ever treated her cruelly, or that she ever talked to Mr. Hatch about getting a divorce. A Family Jar, P. Z. Nauman, who left his wife and family of four children in Alameda be- cause he claimed they were using up more than his income in household expenses, has been ordered by the court to pay his wife $100 counsel fees and $40 a month. This order is to confinue pending the set- tlement of the suit which his wife has brought to enjoin him from selling the community property and to compel him to pay $100 a month for the support of his family. Nauman’s counsel claims that he will not be able to obey the order. Senram Funeral. | The funeral of Robert Senram was held from the late residence of the deceased on Forty-seventh street yesterday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Theiss. The honorary vallbearers were: 'W. L. Pelton, Jerry McCarthy, John Cro- nin and John Connors. The active bearers were: Frank C. Rodman, J. H. Porter, S. L. Harris, P. Mulverhill, S. Harris and J. W.

Street Superintendent Miller believes that the Eighth-street bridge, across the estuary, is in an unsafe condition, and is liable to collapse at any time. The piles are badly eaten by the teredo. HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters. Eighth-street bridge in Oakland has been declared unsafe. Hiram Dond is in the Alameda County Jail charged with insanity. Oaklanders laugh at the project of removing the jutemills to Stockton. Christian Endeavorers of Oakland are form- ing a union on the lines of county unions. Fire Chief Lawton of Oakland says it will take $149,000 to run the department next year. Haywards has an ordinance now that is in- tended to prohibit prizefighting within its limits. Mrs. Barroteau denies that she isa friend of Rev. Dr. Junius Laertes Hatch. She says he is an old nuisance. The bark Enoch Talbot, which was nearly wrecked at Humboldt, docked at the Oakland whar! yesterday. Mrs. Barstow of Alameda has sued the elec- tric road of that city for $25,000 for knocking her off Ler bicycle. The trustees of the Hays School district have at last elected a secretary. There was a dead- lock for threeweeks. The Carpenters’ Union of Oakland is now reorganized and stronger than itwas before the recent depression. Lawyer W. F. Aram was knocked down by a cable-car yesterday in San Francisco, and 'his shoulder was fractured. The Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company, which has & monopoly of the business in Oak- lend, has filed its application for s reduced assessment.

Camp- bell was arrested on a charge of obtaining ractice of in front riders to goods by false pretenses. He claims he has not been given an opportunity for a speedy examination. The Alsmeda Savings Bank has sued J. A. Waymire to foreclose & mortgage on property on Buena Vista avenue, west of Walnut stree giyen to secure & note for §4300 dated May 18, 1891. Al Traynor, who, a few years ago, was a good baseball player, and who participated in many exciting games on_ the old Centerstreet grounds, is dying at the County Hospital of consumption. Hattie S. Back has filed an answer to the cross-complaint of C. H. Beck in an aetion for divorce, denying that she voluntarily left him. She alleges that the reagon she left was be- cause of his cruel treatment. The Council has referred to its Street Com- mittee the resolution calling for the employ- ment of 100 men. The Street Superintendent says the men are wanted badly, as the streets and sewers are sadly in need of attention. Two hundred and fifty-five carloads of wheat arrived et the railroad-yards from Port Costa yesterday morning. This is an unususlly arge shipment. _Superintendent Thompson says that the traffic is the heaviest in many years. City Engineer Wilson vesterday completed computing the bids for the construction of the sewer along the east side of Lake Merritt. This sewer will be nearly two miles in length, of vitrified ironstone pipes, resting on & concrete and timber foundation. The Cartstian Endeavor Society o the First Methodist Church had a meeting of unusual interest Sunday evening. Three marines from the U. 8. 8. Thetis, now at Mare Island, were present and told of the work among those who iravel the world over as the representatives of this country. The Sen Leandro Standard believes in the close {Jl’oximk)’ of teachers of the S8an Leandro school and says that when “the electric lights come, perhaps the School Trustees will be able to see the wisdom of passing that resolution requiring teachers in the public schools to re- side within the district. The teachers should be where they can be found by parents at all reasSnable hours.” ACHIEVED EARLY SUCCESS, An Oakland Student Who Mar- ried the College Presi- dent’s Daughter. Brougher Revisits Work Rev. James W. Home—His Successful in the East. East Oakland is extending a hearty wel- come at the present time to Rev.James Rev. James W. Brougher. [From a photograph.} Whitcomb Brougher, pastor of a large Baptist church at Paterson, N. J. James W. Brougher is an Oakland boy who received his early education in the public schools of this city and graduated from California College. His family still resides here. There was a little romance connected with his college conrse at High- land Park. While studying for the minis- try be captuied the affections of the ac- complished daughter of President 8. B. Morse. Soon after his graduation Mr. Brougher married, and he and his wife went to the Rochester Theological Sem- inary, Rochester, N. Y., where they stud- ied together for three years. Before graduating from the Eastern college he re- ed & ca!l to the First Baptist Church of J., the elders of that church baving been attracted by the student’s early signs of ability. Though only 25 years of age, his work has placed him in the front rank of successful preachers and astors. His large church, situated in the eart of the city, is always crowded. Rev. J. W. Brougher is an aggressive pastor and has twenty-five different de- partments of work in his chuch. It is adapting itself to downtown work, minis- tering to the physical, mental, moral, so- cial and spiritual natures of the masses. He has built up the two Sunday-schools till their rolls number 1500, and his church membership is nearly 1000. There is a general feeling in favor of offering Mr. Brougher inducement to accept a church in California, but he is so bound to his Eastern charge that he cannot think of leaving it. THE OAKLAND JUTEMILL. Capitalists Say That They Do Not Think the Factory Will Remove, The removal of the East Oakland jute- mills to Stockton is not nearly so much of a fact as the dispatches from that city in- dicate. The reason given that the Corral Hollow Railroad will enable the jutemills to obtain fuel at a big reduction on present prices is by no means sufficient to induce a removal, as Oakland will receive coal from the mines as soon as Stockton. John Robertson, superintendent of the East Oakland plant, was shown the dis- atch yesterday and asked on what it was ased, but said he was not in a position to say. “We have been trying for six months past,” said he, “to get Oakland capital to help us, but to no aveil. We have tried every bank and capitalist, but they seem to have no interest in seeing enterprises of this sort in the city. ““We then turned to Stockton, where the peo- ole and capital are all alive to chances of this kind. When running here in the past we em- loyed over 500 hands, all white help. Atone ime we had forty Chinese, but they were re- placed by white help some time before the works closed. The wages made amounted to from $10,000 to $13. monthly. The plant as it stands to-day cost in round figures $300,- 000. You know there was considerable new machinery placed in it just before the mill closed down. That was all of the latest im- proved pattern and would be very useful at the present time if the mills were reopened. ““We can manufacture at present, besides all kinds of grain bags, which at ruling prices we would not touch, horse blankets, various kinds of mattings, burlaps of all classes irom thirty to seventy-six inch,vine twine and wool twine, coffce bags, hop cloth, all descriptions of ore bags, borax bags, ar and rice bags. There is money in this cl of goods for ns. The market for grain bl!l 1s controlled by Calcutta, India, and they will keep prices down untif the milis are all closed, and then prices will go away up as they were in 1876, when I came to the coast. At present Tam not allowed to say much re- arding our plans, but the people of Stockton Ko Ehctanfviosd n e en oy emin: Tis] . ey will no plan‘?{o be uien there, and then O nd will nd that she has let a good manufacturing ‘business slip from h ‘While Mr. Robertson is undoubtedly telling the truth in regard to the mills it is known that the reason local capital has not been attracted to the mills is the fail- ure to pay dividends. The coal bill of the mills amounts to about $16,000 a year, but if this could be cut down half it would not be a sufficient inducement to remove to Stockton. Oakland capitalists regard the report from Stockton as a little ucE:m to frighten them into inveanns against their judgment. It was recalle yesterday that when the mills closed | | July, 1895, was $15 RECALLED THEIR PETITION An Oakland Corporation Sur- prises the Board of Equalization. ELECTRIC ROADS ARE CHEAP. Thelr Owners Sing a Dismal Chorus About Poverty and Hard Times. The first genuine surprise was sprung upon the County Board of Equalization yesterday, when the following little note was placed upon the clerk’s desk just be- fore the hour for adjournment: Clerk of the Board u{ Eguah‘zat{nn: Please withdraw our application for reduction of as- sessment. JOHN BRITTO! Secrgtary Oakland Gas, Light and Heat pany. ‘When the clerk read the communication the Supervisors could hardly believe their eyes. y“That’s better than this,” said Chairman Bailey, as he looked at his colleagues. The “this” was the lengthy and detailed ex- amination of Secretary Stone of the Hay- wards electric road, that consumed all the afternoon. Yesterday was entirely spent in listening to the woes of the street railroad magnates. Willlam Rank and Senator Denison pleaded for the Alameda electric road. E. P. Vandercook, who will ask the Super- visors next Monday for a franchise to Livermore, told of the low value of the East Oakland road. 0. Rudolph, an agent for Borax King F. M. Smith, waited for the Central-avenue line. Frank G. Wood- ward and his eloquence on behalf of the Highland Park road, and A. L. Stone, the man who never gave a pass, tried for an hour to convince the board of the utter valuelessness of the privilege of runninga passenger, freicht and mail service over the public roads. It was the busiest day the board has experienced. Mr. Chickering, on bebalf of the Central avenue road, denied a state- ment of Mr. Dalton’s relating to a bid for a franchise made while the Assessor was a Councilman. Mr. Dalton said ‘‘You did.”” Mr. Chickering retorted, “Ididn’t,”’ and, to avoid unpleasantness, Chairman Bailey sa2id, *“Well, gentiemen, we don’t care who is right, go on with your testimeny.” Much fita relating to the earnings ofjthe roads was introduced during the day, and itis evident that the bicycle has done a great deal toward reducmfi the incores of the electric lines. The Higbland Park line’s gross income is about $15000 a year. Its receipts do not pay operating expenses, and the manager stated that he had tred to borrow $18,000 on the receipts, and he had been told that the whole road is not worth tLat amount. During the examination of Andrew Stone it was stated that the total earnings of the Haywards road from July, 1894, to 000 and the total ex- g a balance of $7000 N, Com- ense $149,000, lea }:‘:r the stockholders. “How much interest do you pay on bonds?” asked Attorney Davis. “Thirty thousand dollars,” seid Mr. Stone. ; ; “And you had §7000 profit after paying this?” “Yes sir.” 3 “Then you really made $37,000 with your road in the past year?”’ “Yes sir.” Mr. Stone then went on to state, as did all the other supplicants, that there isless business this year than last and that the prospect is gloomy and that it was a sur- prise to him that he had ever been con- nected with such losing property as an electric road that only cleared $37,000 in the past year. The Supervisors’ action in redncing the assessments on the franchises of the Ala- meda Water Company to a nominal figure | has caused a misapprehension in regard to the action of the board. Although the franchises are considered to be valueless, the Assessor’s figures on the property are sustained, and these represent a gross in- crease of over 100 per cent. In 1894 the assessment was $60,900. This year the fig- ures are $152,850. - The application of H. A. Hebbard and others to have some land on the tidal canal laced on the asséssment-roll was with- rawn by request. A. Marks, who owns the biock bounded by Twelith, Franklin, Webster and Thir- teenth streete asked to have the asses ment reduced from $38,375 to $18,850. Th board will resume its sessions this morning. ECONCY OF THE REGENS Reduction of the Expenses of the University of Cali- fornia. Gift of Professor Davidson’s Topc- graphical Chart—Avery’s Por- tralt.

In the department budget reductions were made in the farmers’ institute ot $500 and labor in the botanical garden of $100, The total reduction proposed was $17,979 22, The report was unanimously adopted. The committee recommended that $300 be appropriated for the department of mechanical arts, and the report was adopted. It further recommended that the vote making physical culture compul- sory be reconsidered. This report was also adopted. Dr. R. Beverly Cole reported for the committee on buildings and sites of the sffiliated colleges that for financial and prudential reasons it was not thought best to give the location of the lots which had been examined by the committee. Much of the land haa been found undesirable, He read a communication to the Board of State Prison Directors made by Charles W, Slack, R. Beverly Cole, Charles E. Brown and W, F. McNutt asking that the privi- lege of granite of the necessary dimensions for the proposed buildings be furnished at the cost of the tools and machinery. The regents voted to join with the com- mittee in the request. A letter to Governor Budd from A. A. d’Ancona, secretary of the joint committee on siteand buildings of the professional departments of the university, asking that the communication referred to receive his signature, was also read and :Ppl'ovnd.

The report of the expert accountant, John J. Herr, verified the accounts of the secretary and treasurer for the past month. President Kellogg moved that Professor Ritter be enfaged as instructor in the de- partment of biology at $200 per annum, and the motion was carried by a unani- mous vote. He then recommended that H. B. Torrey be elected to succeed Profes- sor Holmes, resigned. There was no dis- senting voice in the vote which placed Professor Torrey in the vacant chair, S A letter from Samuel P. Avery to Presi- dent Kellogg proffering a portrait of Ben- ]Imiel:i Avery was read, and the gift ac- cepted. grofessor George Davidson’s tender of a topographical chart of the Pacific Coast was accepted, and the secretary directed to return tge thanks of the board to the donor. % A communication from J. J. Rivers ask- ing an extension of time for making ces tain changes in the museum was read and his request granted. President Kellogg reported that the com- mittee on equalization recommended the reduction of salaries of the following in- structors in the department of mines: E. A. Hersam from $1300 to $1250, E. H. Simonds, $1200 to $1000; O. Schober, $1200 to $1000, and an increase of salaries in the civil engineering department as follows: L. E. Hunt, $840 to $960; W. W. Fogg, $600 to $84C, and a student assistant to $200. Regents Bartlett and Slack were ap- ointed a committee to make recommen- ations concerning the institution to the Governor. Regents Crocker, Houghton and Miller were appointed to act in conjunc- tion_with the committee on sites and buildings for the affiliated colleges. A resolution anthorizing the withdrawal of $5000. formerly the property of the State Viticultural Commission and donated by that commission to the university, from the State treasury was adopted. A recommendation by the finance com- mittee that Levi Radcliffe, the State Treas- urer, be requested to pay the yearly appro- priation of the university on June 30 was adopted.

Others claim that there is no conflict between the State and county law, and that there are man: other communities in California whicz have electoral requirements analagous with those of the State. The friends of Rawson claim that he was a resident of the town three years ago, but was absent for a short time, which fact ‘would not destroy his rights to hold office.
