THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1895. LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, Railroad Officials Plead the Worn-Out Condition of Their Property. ELOPEMENT OF AN INDIAN, Robert Johnson Encouraged to Send Sweet Letters to Miss Bertle. The Supervisors were engaged all day yesterday listening to the evidence of the Southern Pacific Company regarding the value of its property in Alameda County. Some satisfaction was de d from- the examination of Master Mechanic McKen- zie, who took the stand late in the after- noon. Mr. McKenzie was asked regarding the price of the ferry steam Finally Attorney Davis, by a series of questions, arrived at Mr. McKenzie's esti- ue of the steamers. 000 less than the figures of A n.

He d a doctor, who found that 110 shot had made little marks, eight stuckinto the skin and three entered the flesh and bad to be dug out. The doctor was charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, and ex-Judge Nye was the counsel for the defendant. The defense was made that the charge was an absurd one, because the distance of Dr. Thrasher from the lad up the tree was 80 great as to make it impossible for any one with a shotgun to commit an assault with a deadly weapon. This view was taken by the Judge and the case was dis- missed. The boy also sued for $299 damages, and the jury awarded him $1. An appeal has been taken and will be heard two weeks hence. Douty Was Not Insane. Hiram Douty was examined yesterday as to his sanity. The only witness against him was J. C. Cardoya. He stated that Douty had been living at his house and would not work, but would talk about re- ligion by the hour. Cardoya said Douty had tried to strike him several times. He produced a gripsack which Douty had filled with rocks and other odds and ends. Mrs. Cardoya is Douty’s sister, and she r brother is a little queer, but quite harmless. She said her hushand’s ani- mosity was due to the fact that Douty had interfered in a family quarrel. The doctors took Douty in hand and aiter a few minutes’ examination concluded that he was sane and harmless, but a trifle queer in some of his ideas. Seeking for Her Fortune. The heirs of Mrs. Annie L. Cameron are wondering what has become of her prop- erty. Six years ago when her husband died Mrs. Cameron owned an estate es- timated to be worth $80,000. This has dwindled down to $10,000, and now that the lady is dead her heirs want to know where the rest has gone. Two years ago Mrs. Cameron attempted to shoot M. Laymance, a real estate dealer, whom she said had not kept faith with her. She was convicted, sentenced to the County Jail, and died while her case was being ap- pealed. She was living at the time of her death with a family in East Oakland, and it is said that prior to her death her rela- tives were not permitted to see her. The heirs of the deceased are a daughter, now Mrs. Nellie E. Reed, a son, Ashley Cam- eron, and their children. An Indian Elopement, A case for which the lawbooks afford no precedent was referred to the District At- torney yesterdady. A Mission Indian went to Justice of the Peace Sandholdt of Livermore yesterday morning, and told him that his squaw bhad eloped. The Indian said he went home last night and found that his wife had gone and left him three little papooses. He said that he had evidence of his wife’s having gone off with another indian. Justice Sanaholt did not feel inclined to issue a warrant because he did not know exactly what crime to charge, so he run, up the District Attorney’s office and aske for advice. A short consultation was held and finally the answer was sent back, *“Tell the Indian to get a divorce.” It Was Only a New Pump. Frank Hand was charged at the Police Court yesterday morning with damaging a barn that he had leased from John All- man. The prosecutor told Judge Wood that Hand was constructing an infernal machine and he was anxious to get him out of his barn. Hand testified that he had only removed two boards from the roof and that he was perfecting a patent pneumatic pump, of which he was the in- ventor. The Judge wanted more testi- mony and postponed the case till this morning. Not 8o Very “Fresh.” Robert Johnson, the young man who is credited with having obtained a peculiar influence over aged Mrs. Eliza Scott, and who Miss Scott told a Chicago reporter was altogether *‘too fresh,” has defended him- self. He has given out a letter from Miss Bertie, in which she is so cordial that he seys he thinks a cordial reply to such a note1s at least warranted, if not solicited. Robert, however, could not be persnaded to yield the young lady’s picture, Five Vesper Services. Rev. Dr. McLean will return from his vacation at Sweet Briar Camp, Shasta County. Friday, and will occupy his pulpit on Sunday next. It is proposed to have a series of five vesper services before the usual evening hour on the last five Sab- baths that Dr. McLean will officiate in the First Congregational Church. Will Open To-Night. The People’s Theater will be formally opened by the Salvationists to-night. All the staff officers from headquarters in San Francisco will be present and a big pro- gramme has been prepared. In the after- noon a funeral will be held from the the- ater. A venerable Christian named Father Gray, who died yesterday at Beu- lah, will be buried with army honors. HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters.

Supervisor Johnston essayed to mount a wheel a few nights ago. He fell off the wheel and has since been wearing a bandage on his wrist. He will try again shortly. The Crescent Athletic Club is now fully in- stalled in its cozy quarters,and athletics are booming. Especially sois the cycling annex, which is full of life and enterprise. Henry Varley, the evangelist, will hold & serfes of revival meetings in Alameda. The meetings will be held in the Linderman Opera- house and will commence next Sunday. Under the management of Sam Hardy tennis is gaining a strong hold in Oakland.” Every day the courts of the Lakeside Club are full and frequently some exciting matches are Pplayed. The Board of Works met yesterday afternoon as commissjoners for the extension of Castro, Linden and Beventeenth streets to the water front. Nothing was done beyond formally or- ganizing. . The Committee on Classification of the Board of Education will hold a meeting this evening in order to prepare a report on the assignment of teachers for the ensuing term, which begins next Monday. Mary McCullough, whose husband, E. Mec- Cuilough, is suing for a divorce on the ground of desertion, bas been living at Seattle. It is not likely that she will come to Oakland to contest the suit. The will of Mary Lebrecht, who died on July 11n San Francisco. was filed for probate in the County Clerk’s office yesterday morning. The devisees are her husband, Walter Lebrecht, and three minor children. ;i Already the Reliance boys have begun to falk football. When the season is fairly com- menced the Glee Club that has been idle so long will be organized to help to defray the ex- penses of keeping & team in the field. The most interesting event for the imme- diate future in yachting circles is the second club race of the California Yacht Club to take place next Sunday. In reality this is the club’s annual regatta. The Hammersmith trophy will be the prize. A protest has been filed with the City Clerk against the sidewalking of East Twelfth street, between Thirteenth and Sixteenth avenues, on the ground that it would be useless to make improvements until after the Commerce street matter is settled. Supervisors Bailey and Church, who have been interviewed by representatives of the Cood Reads Association, do not subscribe to the idea that the red rock found in the Coyote Hills, near Newark, will make the model streels and country roads. During the week statements have appeared in some of the papers to the effect that an effort was being made to unite the Acme and Reliance Athletic clubs, but as yet no steps have been taken in that direction,and there does not seem to be any prospect of their union in the immediate future. LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA Lord Sholto Receives a Visit From the Sheriff at His Cottage. n g1 address the Ward politicians to-night at East Capltalist John Glllam Found Gullty of Battering Mrs. Spencer, His Tenant. Sheriff White came to Alameda Tuesday and made a call on Lord Sholto Douglas. The mission of the Sheriff's visit was to collect $135 from his Lordship on claims assigned to J. J. Rauer of S8an Francisco. Lord and Lady Douglas live in a fur- nished cottage on Encinal avenue, the property of F. G. Welp, whose family have been ona camping trip for the past two months, The family will return about the first of the month, and the Douglases have been on the lookout for a cottage. To the agents who have been endeavoring to rent Lady Douglas a furnished cottage she has had much to say about her carriages and horses. The Sheriff was also informed by Rauer that Lord Douglas had been investing in bicycles and dogs since his quarterly allow- ance had come into his possession. The Bheriff, however, could not find any bicycles, or carriages, or dogs to the value of $135, and gave the matter up asa bad job. o Gillam Found Guilty. John Gillam, the capitalist, was tried betore Justice Swasey and a jury yesterday on a charge of battery preferred against him bv one of his tenants, Mrs. Spencer, who did not like the way he tried to collect his rent. Mrs. Spencer claimed that Gil- lam was a grasping landlord and used force to coilect his monthly rent. Gillam de- fended his own case. The jury was out only & few minutes and bruoght in a verdict of guilty. He has two other charges pend- ing against him—disturbing the peace and petty larceny. Another Landmark Disappears. Barnacle Hall, which has been a land- mark on this side of the Bay Farm Island bridge for the last twenty years, is going to pieces with the action of the tides. The south wall recently caved in, causing the roof to sag. The building was originally erected as a borax works by H. C. Clark, but was afterward turned’into a boating headquarters with a saloon in one corner. Mrs. Clark in Evidence. Mrs. George Clark, of Pearl street, who was reported by her daughter to be miss- ing, presumably since the 16th, has not been “out of the city, but was away from home in attendance as nurse upon a sick family on Santa Clara avenue. She had read of her disappearance in THE CALL and at once sought her daughter to quiet her feelings. % ——————— Looks Like Perjury. B. 8. Simon, the cowboy detective, and Charles Fraser had their cases dismissed by Judge Low yesterday morning. They were charged with stealing $15 from . the till in the store of Wah Lee, alias Chung Chung, in China- town, while representing themselves as Fed- eral officers. Wah Lee on Tuesday swore they were the men, but yesterday swore to the con- trary.

THE EXTERIOR COMPLETED St. Mary’s College Rebuilt After the Great Fire of Last Year. ORIGINAL PLANS FOLLOWED. The Vast Amount of Interior Work Wil Not Be Finished Until November. The exterior work on St. Mary’s College, North Oakland, is completed, and with a few minor changes the original plan has been closely followed. The most notice- able change is the addition of two large ventilators on the highest portiou of the roof. The two ventilators are octagonal, are rather ornamental and can be seen farther than any portion of the building, not even excepting the cross immediately over the main entrance. It is now definitely settled that the building cannot possibly be ready for oc- cupancy this fall term, and consequently the students will tinish this year at old St. Mary’s in San Francisco. It was necessary to entirely rebuild the two upper stories, including the roof, which was destroyed. So widespread was the damage done by fire and water and the subsequent storms that within the past few days several rooms that were con- sidered tenable have been found to be in need of complete new plastering. Nearly every room in theimmense build- ing requires extensive repairs and dozens of classrooms and halls are completely wrecked. The dormitories were entirely demolished and have, of course, been com- pletely rebuilt. While the original plan has been fol- lowed in rebuilding, the roof is much stronger than it was originally, and the dormitories have been arranged in a man- ner suggested by experience. The expense of repairing was much greater than was anticipated and it is said that $100,000 will have been spent before the students again gather from all parts of the Pacific Coast within the halls of St. Mary’s. A large force of men was at work yester- day. A large amount of work is being done and if a donation of a few thousand dollars is given the work would be rushed more quickly. But those haying the mat- ter in charge do not feel inclined to go ahead faster than the fundsin sight permit. Brother Erminold, who is the head of the college, had great hopes six months ago of being in his old quarters Fourth of July, but it was stated yesterday that the college cannot possibly be ready before November. The members of the committee who undertook to raise funds for the rebuilding have worked hard, but have not met wit] the success they anticipated. However, it is thought the work will be completed be- fore Christmas, in which case the class exercises will be held there. SONS OF ST. GEORGE. Delegates Are Elected to the Supreme Lodge Conventlon—Candidates for Officers Nominated. The second day’s session of the sixth con- vention of the Grand Lodge of the Sons of St. George was called to order yesterday at 10 o’clock A. M. at Bt. George's Hall by Grand President William George. The voting for officers of the Supreme Lodge resulted as follows: Supreme presi- dent, Edward Oliver; vice-president, Ernest Rowden of Brooklyn, N. Y.; secretary, equally divided between James R. Anger of Akron, Ohio, and James P. Edwards of Michigan; treasurer, George H. Toop of New York, N. Y.; messenger, Walter Willis of Chicago; trustee, divided e%\)}nlly among J. C. Worrell of Ohio, Fred. Davis of Utica, N. Y., and Charles Halstead of Johnstown, R. I. The afternoon session was devoted prin- cipally to the election of two representa- tives to the Supreme Lodge, to be held in New York City, beginning October 1_next, resulting in the election of Rev. Josiah Sims of Nevada City and William Clack of 8an Francisco. There were elected also two alternate representatives—Henry Tre- Eoning of San Jose and G. D. Brandon of an Francisco. The ger capita tax for the coming year was fixed at §1. The remainder of the session was de- voted to a discussion of amendments to the Supreme Lodge constitution. At the nifiht session San Francisco was chosen as the place for holding the next convention in July, 1896. It was decided that the Grand Lodge conventions shall hereafter be held annually instead of bien- nially. In the matter of the amendments to the constitution, the proposition to ad- mit Scotchmen and Welchmen to mem- bership was lost. The convention’s labors will be concluded to-d: WIDBER'S ANNUAL REPORT. The Treasurer Files His Accounting With the Board of Super- visors.

Nearly 400 more applications for work were registered yesterday, making a total of 3500 for the first week. About eighteen men and eleven women were sent from the buresu to fill orders for help. Nearly every man sent out obtains employment, and so far about 250 positions have been filled by the bureau. e e—— NO ASSAYING AT THE MINT. The Coinags Laws Prohibit Assaying at the Government Institution. Robert Barnett, chief clerk of the United States Mint, showed a CALL reporter a letter from a Tacoma man, asking whether he might have some ore assayed at the Government institution, yesterday. “We receive such letters daily,” said Mr. Barnett, “and it would save future in- quirers the painsof writing, and us_the trouble of replying, if publicity were given to the law in the case.” He produced a copy of the regulations and instructions issued by tne Treasury Department at Washington, and in which were in- corporated the coinage laws, and pointed to the following section: Assaying and chemical analysisof oresand of furnace by-products shall not be performed at the mints and assay offices of the United States, except at the assay office at Charlotte, STREET-CORNER CRHTOR, It Will Probably Soon Be Com- pletely Suppressed in Oakland. All Are Anxlous to Do Something, but None Desire to Go Too Far. There is a petition in circulation asking that the Oakland Council repeal the ordi- nance forbidding open-air meetings, and it has been largely signed by the church members and Christian Endeavorers. ‘The Council is inclined to favor the re- ligious element, while the Mayor is not. The Merchanis’ Exchange is somewhat divided. The majority of the members feel that they cannot afford to put them- selves on record as being opposed to the church party, and at the same time they feel that the City is hurt by permitting every crank to organize a mass-meeting just” when he pleases. The ministers would like to see the open-air missions and Salvation Army carry out their usual programmes, but, of course, are fully cognizant of the fact that there cannot be any discrimination as between politics and religion. The City Hall Park faces the Athenian Club of Oakland, and several members have decided to make a change of quarters if the nuisance is not stopped. The crowds on the City Hall steps block up the en- trance to the City Prison and it was neces- sary last night for four officers to force a passage through which to take a prisoner into the jail. . “If the Council so desires it can pass an ordinance prohibiting speaking in the Cit; Hall Park, and if such an ordinance is Baued it will be enforced,” said Mayor avie yesterday. “The nuisance had pecome so great that it became necessary to do something, and so I absolutely re- fused to issue any permits to anybody. could not discriminate, and so I suppose I have pieased as many people as I have offended.” The City Attorney will shortly be called upon to draft an ordinance that may or may not be rejected by the Council. The matter of street oratory is at present the leading topic in Oakland and it is not possible at this time to see how it can be satisfactorily ad juste LATEST BERKELEY NEWS, Saloon-Keepers to Be Tried for Selling Liquor Without Licenses. The West Side Improvement Club Makes Offers for a Bicycle Factory. The trial of Jacob Lentz for selling liquor without a license will be held before Judge James on next Saturday, and on the following Saturday J. A. Munson will be arraigned before Judge Lord on & similar charge. Lentz has never held a license in Berke- ley for the sale of liquor, as he claims that he did not need one, since that district in which his place is located was never prop- erly annexed to the town, and is, in ‘conse- quence, out of the jurisdiction of the Town Board. G J. A. Munson was granted a license under the old ordinance, but the Superior Court set aside the action of the board in granting it because of failure to observe the requirements of the ordinance. Mun- son held permission, however, under the $100 ordinance, to sell liquor, but as the law has been declared illegal by the present board, that body properly tendered to Munson the sum paid, which he refused; and in consequence he will be held for sell- ing liquor without a license, just as if he had never obtained any privilege whatso- ever. Wants a Bioycle Factory. The West Berkeley Improvement Club has authorized its secretary to address the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion in San Francisco for the purpose of determining what inducements Eastern capitalists would desire to establish a bicy- cle factory in Berkeley. Should the club receive a favorable reply it groposes to do all that is possible towar bringing the manufacturers here and encouraging their industry. Will Test His Eligibility, Deputy Marshal Rawson, whose posi- tion is about to be contested on the ground that the requirements of the town charter had not been observed in his ap- pointment, states that his eligibility to the position is without a flaw. He says that he has been a resident of the place for over fifteen years and has complied with the requirements of the toyn charter 1n every respect. Crescent Club’s Progress. The bicycle annex of the Crescent Ath- letic Club, which was formally organized last week, held its first company drill last evening under the direction of Captain Gompertz. Sunday, July 28, there will be arun to Haywards to witness the Acme 10-mile road race, and on_Sunday, August 4, the Crescent races will be held at the Qakland Trotting Park for gold medals.

The Slayer of Clarence Barr Declared to Be “Con Sullivan.” MRS. C. M. JOHNSON'S STORY. Police Officlals Think the Baldwin Bar Stabber Has a Shady Past. The story of C.B. Henderson that he is a commercial traveler for a Rochester (N. Y.) shoe firm, and had just arrived in this City the night before he stabbed Clarence Barr at the Baldwin bar, leaving a wife and several children in Buifalo, N. Y., is contradicted by Mrs. C. M. John- son, an octoroon woman lodging at 110 Fourth street. Mrs. Johnson, who says her husband is in Los Angeles just at present, is also known as Blanche Page. According to her story her husband took Henderson in and boarded him as one of the family free of cost, because he had met Henderson in Los Angeles once, and the latter, presuming upon that acquaintanceship, represented to Johnson that he had no money and was inneed of a friend. Mrs. Johnson said: He has been in the City for two months, and for about two weeks and a half just precedin, the stabbing af the man at the Baldwin he boarded with us. He told my husband that he was “broke,” and my husband took the man in and he boarded with us as one of the family. One night a little before the stabbing of Barr he had a fight in this house with a man named Cole Anderson, and he tried to have me get out of the way so that he could do something ugly to Anderson. Then, because I wouldn't go, he said he would take a shot at me some time. He threatened also that he would shoot my hus- band. I was always afraid of .the man after that. Sometimes he would come in here with a big £isxol, and he had a broken-bladed pocket- nife which he handled freely. In his fight with Cole Anderson the latter got him down and Henderson blamed me for it all, saying that I was helping tne other man to beat him. His name is not Henderson. Itis Con Sulli- van. Idon't know anything about the man, other than what I have heard,and Idon’t want to tell anything I don’t know for certain. But he himself sald his name was Con Sulli- van. He told us that in this way: “] am Con Sullivan, and I am & man of repu. tation.” Again he came in one day and said: “T'did my bit once in Colorado, and I'll do it again. 1shotone man down in cold blood, and I ain’t through yet.” The man was sort of crazy, I think, and was always looking for trouble. ‘What the trouble between him and Cole Anderson was about I don’t know. Anderson is & respectable mar- ried man—married into & good family. Now, I don’t know anythiug about his being & “bunko man.” 1know he came in one day with a new suit of clothes, and just how he got them I can’t tell, for I supposed he had no money. Butthena tmvellngI man, I suppose, can always get such things. I never knew the man before he came to this City. Mrs. Johnson asserted that she was a respectable woman herself, and stated that as she had nothing to conceal and no reason for any concealment, she would testify to all she knew. She added that some of his friends, botb men and women, had been to her asking her to shield the man, but that she was not going to tell any falsehood and make herself liable te prosecution for perjury. “Besides,” she continued, “all the peo- ple in the house know of his beln%]here.” She identified Henderson, or rather Sul- livan, at the police station yesterday, though the latter said positively he h; never seen the woman before. The Polics say she received a letter from “Jack’’ Me- Carthy, alias “Winnemucda Jack,” asking her to go to the Edgemont House on Sixth street. Henderson, she said, lodged on Fourth street, in the 200 block somewhere, and had some baggage at a hotel on Mission street. Henderson was seen in the City Prison last night and told of the statements made by Mrs. Johnson. He gave them an em- phatic denial, and said he had never seen or heard of the woman till yest.erdnf when il;e came to the prison to have a look at m. ‘When asked if he had been in Los An- geles, he said he was there two weeks ago efore coming here and sto%ped at the Hollenbeck Hotels He said he did not know a Mrs. Johnson there. “T came direct from the East to Los An- geles,” he said, “and from there here, ar- rivmf on Friday, July 12. I never said that [ was a traveler for a Rochester shoe- house. Iam a traveler for a shoehouse in the East, but not in Rochester. My wife and family live in Rochester. T decline to say what firm I travel for, because there are Important reasons for not doing so, but it will all come out at my trial.” ¢-Is Henderson your true name?"’ “Yes, that is my name.” “And you distinctly say that Mrs. John- son is mistaken?’’ “Ido. I say itis a case of mistaken identity.” The police, on the contrary, believe that Mrs. Johnson is telling the truth, not only from the fact that Henderson has a scar on his cheek and is minus a front tooth, but that he had been in the City more than two weeks prior to the ahbbm% of Barr, which they say they can prove by several witnesses.
