Forty Years Ago Ophir, the Ploneer Jewish Lodge on the Coast, Was Founded. The members of Ophir Lodge No. 21 of the Independent Order of the B’nai B'rith, the first Jewish lodge on the | Pacific Coast, celebrated last evening the | fortieth anniversary of its institution by a | banquet in the dining-room of B’nai| B'rith Hall on Eddy street. Covers were | 1aid for 100 guests, and there were but few vacant places. Ophir Lodge was instituted on August 14, 1855. Lewis Abraham, M. B. Aschim, L. Bevoctheimer, Joseph Danneburg, David Torcheimer, Jacob Frankel, Levi Heine- berg, Fred Lewis, Jacob Meyer, Philip Mann, Samuel Meyer, Louis Achs, Wil- tiam Steinbardt, S. Solomon, Elias Schu- bert, Gabriel Scheier, M. Steppacher and L. Tichner. Of these none remain, and the oldest living members of the lodge are William Saalburg, who joined three months after the charter closed, and F. Toplitz, who has been a member for thirty -nine years. The objects of the order of B’nai B'rith are fally set forth in its motto, “Benevo- lence, brotherly love and harmony.” ‘When Ophir Lodge was established there were but twenty-one lodges in the order. Now it boasts of 447 lodges, some of which are in Europe and in the Holy Land, and its membership roll contains 26,000 names. The order has paid out $250,000 for orphan asylums, $220,000 for sick benefits and $2,200,000 to the widows and children of deceased members. Before the banquet last night Ophir Lodge held an executive session, at which President Kollmann presented the organ- ization with a handsome souvenir emblem suitably inscribed. It was a bandsome shepherd’s staff with golden crook and buckles of silver. At the feast William Reinstein acted as toastmaster, and the flow of soul equaled the bounti- ful supply of good things upon the table. All the grand officers of the B’nai B'rith were in attendance, and brilliant repartee, good stories and eloquent speeches pre- vailed till a late hour. The list of toasts and toasters were as follows: “Ophir Lodge,” William Saalburg; “*Constitution, Grand Lodge,” Jacob Greenebaum; ‘‘The Order at Large,” Dayid S. Hirschberg; “State of the Order,” Alexander L. Badt; “District Grand Lodge,” E. I. Wolf; ‘‘Qur Country,” L. SBimon; “The Ladies,” L. Herris; “Our State,” Marcus Levy. The present officers of Ophir Lodge are: President, M. Kollmari; vice-president, L. Herris; secretary, M. Ascheim; monitor, William Saalburg; treasurer, L. Fleischer. The committee in charge of the banquet included M. Imuck, William Rein- stein, M, Koliman and William Saalburg. For Her Husband’s Death.

Merchants Get No Satisfaction Whatever From Mr. Vining. STREET RAILWAY ODDITIES. How the Transfer Methods Operate in Favor of the Southern Pacific. Request after request has been made to Superintendent Vining of the Market- street Railway Company by Kearny-street merchants and residents of the Mission district, the Western Addition and Rich- mond for such an improvement of the iransfer system of the company as would give passengers of the Mission and Sacra- mento streets lines an opportunity to ride along Kearny street upon the payment of only one fare. The requests have all been unheeded. s The system in vozue will allow a pas- senger to ride all the way from Golden Gate Park to South San Francisco via either Sacramento or one of the Market- street lines, and around by way of Third and Kentucky streets and Railroad ave- nue on the electric system for the payment of; only 5 cents, In fact, he can geton a car of almost any street railway line in the City, ana uitimately transfer to the Third- street line, and continue on to the Potrero and South San Francisco for only a nickel, the California-street system and the Union street and Montgomery avenue line being about the only exceptions. ‘Why? The answer is easy: The Southern Pa- cificdepotis at Third and Townsend sireets, and the Market-street Railway Company 18 running its business for the benefit of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. There would probably be no great objec- tion to this, but it just happens that Kearny street, by this Eeculiar arrange- ment, important retail thoroughfare as it is, finds itself particulariy discriminated against. Supposing, for instance, a resident of the Mission district wants to do some shopping on Kearny street. He or she can ride as far as Third street, but there he or she must pay another nickel or walk the few blocks remaining. So also with the resi- dents of the western portion of the city. People must nai- an additional 5 cents if they desire to ride a few blocks on Kearny street, after leaving any of the east and west lines. With the residents of the North Beach or the Potrero and South San Francisco, and those of the South Side contiguous to Third street it is different. Those living southward from the Southern Pacific depot are graciously given transfers to the con- tinuation of the Third-street line, and those living at North Beach find the Kearny-street line at their very doors. Now supposing a resident of Pacitic ave- nue wants to go all the wag to the South- ern Pacific depot. All he has to dois to board the cars of the Sutter-street line, transfer to the Mission-street cars and again transfer to the Third-street cars, gong depotward. The best he can do with Kearny street is to transfer to Sutter street from Polk street, and get off the cars at one particular point on Kearny street, that is all. He cannot transfer to the Kearny-street line. A passenger on the Sacramento, Clay or Jackson street lines can go to the Em‘l“hem Pacific depot by transferring to Powell street, thence to Market street and thence to Third street, but he is barred from Kearny street. The Howard-street line transfers to the Post and Fourth street lines. By the horsecars of the Fourth- street line_he can get a ride for the full length of Montgomery street, but Kearny street is barred again. Doubtless a man does not mind walking a few blocks, but with a lady it is other- wise, and to the Kearny-street merchants “it makes a whole lot of difference,” to use a colloguialism. It affects their pockets. Hence the constant complairing. The merchants of Kearny street did not expect this treatment, they say, when they petitioned the Board of Supervisors to allow the Market-street combine to run its trolley wires along that street. They ht they were working in their own business inferests, and little supposed at the time that it would result so contrarily. So they have gone to Superintendent Vin- ing and begged and pleaded and argued and threatened, but all to no avail. The best satisfaction they have received for several months was Mr. Vining’s polite as- surance that “‘the matter is under advise- ment.”” It has never progressed further than that. Mr. Vining is master of the situation. He gave the same answer to a reporter of THE CALL yesterday, and said that he bad not been “able to hold out any better prospects to the large number of Kearny- street merchants who had called upon him from time to time. The following question and answer interview then took place: How is it, Mr. Vining, that your company transfers from the Mission and Market streets lines to the Third-street cars going toward the Southern Pacific depot, but you do not transfer from ;ha same lines to the cars on Kearny street ‘Well, we have not yet thought it advisable to do so. Our transier system as it is at present is susceptible of & great many abuses, and we don’t want to open up any more loopholes for people to get in on us and still more abuse our transfer privileges. How could they take any illegitimate advan- to the Kearny- -3 tage of you by being transferre street line? Oh, they might ride around in a regularloop, as they do in & great many instances now on other portions of our street railway system. I have had men show me how, by our present iransfer arrangements, they could keep riding around and around the City for hours, and -fi for one nickel. But that opportunity does not seem to exist in the case of Kearny street, because you do not transfer from Kearny street to any of the lines crossing it. All you transfer to from that line is the Bmujwng line going to the ferries; and there would be no chance of a pas- senger describing any loop by riding around Kearny and Broadway and back to Mission street, because at the ferries he would have to pay another nickel to get on to the Mission- street cars there. Is this not a fact? Yes, but then one never can tell where a loop- hole may be found through which a passenger can slip and take illegitimate advantage of us. 0Of course, I am quite willing that a passenger shall ride as far as he wants to in one continu- ous direction upon payment of the 5 cents fare, but we don’t want peorlc to ride all over, around and around the City on that amount. We could not stand it. No sireet-railway busi- ness could be run on such a basis. But how fs it you are not so particular when it comes to transferring to the Third-street cars so that passengers can Treach the Southern Pacific depot by the payment of only one fare? Oh, well, that’s to our own interests. We are working in our own 1nterests, you must suppose. ery true, granting all that. Butdid you not gét the franchise on Kelm( street in con- sideration of the benefit thatline was to give to the property-owners along that street and their tenants, the merchants engaged in busi- ness there and dependent upon such patronage a8 comes to their doors? Well, as I say, we shall not make any changes justat present. We are going over the entire system of transfers as soon as we can getaround to it, and then we will endeavor 10 correct a great many abuses that now ob- tain. These abuses '""3" teach people to be dishonest and have & bad effect upon the pub- 1ic conscience. That was all the satisfactien that could be obtained from Mr. megi The Potrero people are liable to be made to suffer a while longer, too, at the hands of the street railway monepoly. They have all along been counting upon the running of the Illinois, Sixteenth and Solano streets line. It is doubtful, however, if any cars will be run on Solano street until after the Bryant-street power-house is fin- ished. The cus from Bryant to York street is about completed, so that it can- not much Jonger be used as an excuse. The excuse that is to be offered, though, from what can ‘be ascertained aithe con- struction department, is ‘‘no power,” and it is said no cars will be run on Folsom street, besides, until the power-house is completed and in operation. One of the four sets of 1200-horsepower, triple-expansion, surface-condensing en- ines—the only one made so far—was ing transported from the Union Iron ‘Works to the Bryant-street power-house yesterday, Each set is to have two gen- erators of 400 kilo-watts capacity each. Chief Engineer Forsyth of the Union Iron Works is superintending the putting of the :xtigma kt.oget.uu. It is & magnificent piece work. | LOYAL LEGION BANQUET. California Commandery Installs Its New Officers’ and Is Entertained at a Banquet by Major Hooper. The regular quarterlv meeting of the Loyal Legion last evening was' an unusual event in the annals of the California Commandery. A business meet- ing was herd in the parlors of the Occidental first, at which Lieutenant- Colonel Edward Hall, Sixteenth Michigan Infantry, Paymaster H. 8. Bradford, late United Statesnavy,and J. M. Macdonough, by inheritance, were elected members. Major W. Hooper, the new com- mander, and the other officers elected May 15 were then installed. i3 The commandary then formed in col- umns and, preceded by a band, marched into the banquet hall, where they had been invited to a collation by Major Hooper. The new commander was introduced by Colonel C. Mason Kinne and given three rousing cheers. The banquet hall was tastefully decor- ated with the National colors. Speeches were made by Colonel G. G. C. Lee, U. 8. A.; Paymaster H. T. Skelding, U. 8. N. the junior vice-commander; Deputy Com- mander Charles E. Wilson of the G. A. R.; General P. F. Walsh, Professor George Davidson, Colonel Charles A.

Announcements of Future Events. A New Scenlic Artist From Boston. On midweek night there was no decrease in the size or character of the audience at the Baldwin Theater, where **Too Much Johnson” has caused so many to laugh and kept them in good humor for hours., This very funny play will be continued until Saturday, when it will be given after- noon and evening. From indications there is no doubt but Jobn Drew’s engagement at the Baldwin, which will commence next Monday night, will prove a very successiul one. Letters have been received from various points—San Rafael, Mountain View, San Jose and Oakland—asking for certain nights for theater parties anxious to witness “The Bauble Shcg{” representin, London political and society life. The sale of eeats will commence this morning. The Columbia. “Twelfth Night,” with Rose Coghlan, Henry E. Dixie, Maurice Barrymore, Stockwell and Beach in the cast, has been a most extraordi- nary attraction at the Columbia Theater. So great has been the desire for Shakesveare that the house has been crowded every night. Last evening there was only standing room before the curtain rose. The box-sheet shows that there has already been a great demsnd for seats for the remaining nights of the week. The next attraction at this house will be a triple bill which will include ‘A Man of the World,” Barrymere’s hit; *‘Nance Oldfield,” which made Rose Coghlan famous; and “The Critie, orlTrléedy Rehearsed,” which intro- duced’ Henry E. Dixey as a legitimate artist in fine comedy, and in which he made a great sensation at Daly’s in New York City. The Grand Opera-Hou The highly censational melodrama, “Harbor Lights,” has drawn large audiences at Mo- rosco’s Grand Opera-house nightly. Lena Nel- son, the character represented by Mina Gleason, has given that lady an opportunity to show her powers of portrayal of the passions and her interpretation of the part has won much favorable comment for her. The several scenes painted from photographs are artistic representations of the scenic art, particularly the mechanical and reyolving changes in the fourth act. The next sensation will be “Cracker Jack,” a story of life in Oklahoma, with Charles N. Swain and H. Coulter Brinker in the leading characters. Sidney Childen of Boston, a scenic artist of mgn repute in the East, has been secured for this house, to take the place of Meyer Strauss. The Tivoli. £ That charming and much-enjoyed comedy- opera, “The Royal Middy,” so acceptably pre- sented at the Tivoli Opera-house, is still a good duwinf card. Alice Carle as the Parisian actress is a great favorite. The next attraction billed at this house is “The Black Hussar,’ which will be presented in grand style. Martin Pache and John L }Hv.n‘!bneltwm alternate in the leading character, elbert. - The Orpheum. The vaudeville entertainment given at the Orpheum, which has already been noticed at length, draws crowded houses every ni%h\, and the various members are received with decisive marks of approval, % The German-Company. “Die Orientreisse,” by Blumenthal and Ka- delbarg, the original of “Orient Express,” pro- duced last season in London by Augustin Daly, will be_given for the first time in this City by the Conreld German Comedy Company at the Baldwin Theater. This comedy, ifs original text, will prove very interesfing to those who understand the German language. e COLONEL CASTLE WEDDED The Ceremdny Performed in the Land of Orange . Blossoms.

Castle and Miss Vir- ginia Winston were wedded yesterday in Los Angeles at the home of the bride, 737 Flower street. The marriage took place at1 o'clock, in the presence of only the inti- mate friends and relatives. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father McAuliffe.

The police have thoroughly convinced them- selves that Mrs. Sarah Groger of 516 Leaven- worth street is not & personage of ary moment in the Durrant case. So have the attorneys for the defense. General Dickinson isof the im- pression that her visits to Mrs. Durrant were made merely for the purpose of extorting & few dollars from the mother of the accused. This attempt, if such it was, was decidedly clumsy, and failed of its own weight. At any rate, the propositions advanced by Mrs, Groger are found to have been based on fiction, what- ever her motive may have been. No further attention will be paid to her. 1 Two hundred and fifty more venirenien were drawn from the box by the County Clerk yesterday and will appear in divisious of 135 each in Judge Murphy's court on Friday and Monday mornings to answer as to their quali- tications to act as jurors.

They are mot | essential to an intelligent understanding of the progress of the case, and will be accorded | no place in these columns. The names of 250 more veniremen were drawn in Judge Murphy’s courtroom yes- terday morning by Deputy County Clerk | Piper, his Honor managing to get down, | despite a severe cold, to supervise the drawing. The owners of them will appear in court on Friday and Monday, 125 each day, to answer as to their gualifications to act as jurors in the Durrant case. Out of this number it is confidently hoped that the four jurors necessary to make upthe full jury will be secured. * While all this was being done Durrant himself was taking things easy at the jail reading in the papers the accounts of the strange actions of Mrs. Sarah Groger, who, it was at first supposed, had assumed the role of a jury-fixer on a speculation. That supposition was exploded yesterday, how- ever, and Mrs. Groger remains merely a deluded woman and not another sensation 1n the Durrant case. “There is nothing in the story concern- ing Mrs. Groger at all,” said Captain Lees, who had examined her, yesterday. ‘‘Some- body is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, but I really cannot place the | motive. 1 can say now that there is posi- tively no evidence that Mrs, Groger has made any proposals which could be con- strued into an attempt at bribery.”’ Mrs. Groger is merely a queer incident, not a sensation, despite the fact that on last Saturday she called upon Mrs. Dur- rapt. At that time she could help the de- fense ‘‘as much as three witnesses would,” | and when questioned by the mother of the accused she added that she ‘‘had a relative and two friends inthe case and could influence them so they would bring about a disagreement.” She then left, :g;)eeing to return Monday evening. urrant, the father, followed Mrs. Gro- ger and saw her enter a pawnshopat?7 Turk street, after which she wentto her home, 516 Leavenworth street. ‘When the police located the woman after baving been informed of the visit by Durrant’s attorneys, Mrs. Groger was brought into the presence of Chief Crowley and there stated that she had merely acted for another woman, who had offered her $5 to make the proposition to Mrs. Durrant. She failed totally, however, in any definite information concerning this other woman. The police and the attorneys for the de- fense are at a loss to know what to think of the matter., They agree thatthe woman is sane and Dickinson 1is inclined to think | it was simply a clumsy attempt to secure a few dollars from the Durrants. Mrs. Durrant is of the opinion; however, | that some enemy was at the bottom of the. whole affair, with the intent to tell the story had she been foolish enough to have. given Mrs. Groger any encouragement. - Whatever may have beea the reason, everybody connected with the case is sat- isfied that Mrs. Groger made propositions based on fiction, and she therefore drops quickly out of the matter, THE NAVAL RESERVE.
