The Sixth Carload of California Exhibits 5 Shipped to the Fair. The sixth carload containing California exhibits to the Atlanta Exposition left this City yesterday. The bulk of theex- hibit is already on the road, and as soon as it arrives Secretary Filcher and his assistant will begin to place it in position. Yesterday the expressmen began to re- remove what is left in the Board of Trade rooms, at 575 Market street, to the Crocker building. The office of the board will be in room 80, on the fifth floor, but the heavy stuff will be placed in the basement. Fruit from all parts of the State will be sent to the latter apartment, where it will be preserved by C. M. Johnson and pre- pared for shipment to the exposition. In about a month Mr. Johnson will go to Atlanta to receive and preserve the late fruit which will be forwarded. There are few other men in the State who under- stand this kind of work, or have been so successful in preparing fresh fruits for ex- hibition purposes. Monterey County sent in $250, contributed at the Supervisors’ gonHeuLion toward the California exhibit und. |DEATH OF N. C. CARNALL. The Well-Known Real Estate Man Suc- cumbs to Ilness—Leaves a Widow and Children. Nathan C. Carnall, prominent in the real estate business in this City, died at 3 o'clock yesterday at the Lenox Hotel, Sutter street, of internal inflammation. He had been suffering for some months past from a complication of troubles, and with the hope of finding some relief left his former place of residence at 1207 Market street, accompanied by his wife, for Shasta | about five weeks ago. He apparently faited 150 if he | to find any amelioration in the change of climate and surroundings, and returned to this City, taking up his residence at the Lenox Hotel, although he has an elegant home at Berkeley.

Counclls Assigned to Certaln As- sembly Districts—A New Ad- visory Board. A new plan of organization for the American Protective Association in this City has been adopted by the State au- thorities of that order and communicated to the various'councils, It will go into effect immediately. By the new plan each Assembly district in the City is assigned to a particular coun- cil, which shall have exclusive jurisdiztion in the association’s political work 1in that district, and shall be practically a perma- nent A. P. A. political club. Members of the order who live in a district other than that assigned to their council have been urged to transfer their membership to the council to which their district has been assigned, and to facilitate such transfer, orders have been issued that the usual fee for transfer‘ shall not, in such cases, be collected. The pres- ent council officers hold office till the ex- piration of their respective terms, but at all future elections no member of the order will be eligible to omce in a council tnless he be a resident of the district to which that council is assigned. The transfer of members from one council to another is not, however, obligatory. By the change of organization the pres- ent advisory board or county committee of the An can Protective Association is disbanded and a call for the election of members to a new advisory board will be issued from the State office as soon as the councils have settled down to work in their various _districts. Following is a list of the councils and the districts to which they have been assigned.

Itis important that the mem- bers residing in any given district should be acquainted with the other members in that district, because in no other way can they act in concert and make ther power felt. The reorganization may, of course, cause some temporary confusion, bat the councils will soon settle down to work under the new order and by the next tampaign we will have our precinct-books and all the paraphernalia necessary to carry the election our way.” O0UT OF TOWN PERSONALS.

ASSAYS FROM THE MILLS. Some of C. H. Fish’s Connections With the Company as Its Preéident. . The proceedings in the suit of Theodore Fox vs. John W. Mackay and others in Superior Court Department 1, before Judge Seawell, developed no incident of an at- tractive nature yesterday. The principals in the suit listened to the evidence with no more apparent interest than was shown by the few spectators. The day was occupied with the conclu- fornia and Virginia Company, the testi- mony of George Grant and the partial testimony, that he had searched for the proxies of 1886, but had not found them. There were, he said, 107,209 shares, more sion of the cross-examination of Secretary | A. W. Havens of the Consolidated Cali- | direct examination of President C. H.

A question involving the legality of the commitment of minor females to the Magdalen Asylum was decided by judge Slack yesterday in the case of May Mc- Cann. . Attorney Wirt applied for a writ of habeas corpus on August 3 to the Superior Court, and it was made returnable before Judge Slack. The case was argued on August 6 by Attorney Wirt for the de- fendant, and Assistant District Attorney Hosmer for the people. 1t was arguedgor the defendant that she should be discharged from the Magdalen Asylum on_four grounds: First—Because the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a_public offense and crime. Second—The_inferior court exceeded its jurisdiction, in_rendering the particular sentence therein. Third—The defendant has served six months’ imprisonment, the maximum term fixed by law. Fourth— The Sheriff was not the person allowed by law to detain the defendant. For the people it was argued that the Magdalen Asvlum as an industrial school is a City and County institution—in effect a County Jail for minor offenders, and if no superintendent has been appointed the order of the board is not for that reason rendered a nullity, as the only reference in the order to the law is todetermine who may be imprisoned there.

Those shares were voted at the annual meeting, October 11, 1886,by C. H. Fish, president, continued Mr. Havens, and the certificate of 33,300 shares purchased by Morris Dore was wssued to George Grant, trustee, on De- cember 25, 1885. Ten thousand dollars paid to Senator Jones for release of con- tract was charged to legal expenses. » On cross-examination, Mr. Havens testi- fied that he had been secretary from No- vember 17, 1883, until the consolidation at $250 a month, and since then it had been reduced to $200. Witness read from the records of the an- nual meetings, showing the following as- sessments of stock: November 5, 1884, 80 cents; January 15, 1888, 20: December 13, 1892, 60; March 4, 1894, ¢ He testified to transfers George Grant, trustee, held in the names of different persons, from May 27, 1886, to ers of stock to November 1886, aggregating 60,462 shares. Five reports of lots of ore treated at the | Morgan and the Eureka mills, with the as- says from March to June, 1886, were pre- sented from the records by the witness as follows: Morgan, 1102 tons, assay $1231; Eureka, 373 tons, assay $7 85. Morgan, 1045 tons, $13 88; Eureka, 14386 tons, $1238. Morgan, 1156 tons, $10 97; Eureka, 1740, 11 06. Morgan, 1112 tons, §1144; Eureks, 1681 tons, $9 54. Morgan, 1066 tons, $1087; Eureka, 1668 tons, $8 83. George Grant, assistant cashier of the Nevada Bank, testified that in 1884 he paid the dividends in the Nevada Bank. One check paid to J. L. Flood for dividends on January, 10, 1887, was for $47,395 50, on ac- count of the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company. C. H. Fish testified or direct examination that he was a clerk in the office of the Con- solidated California and Virginia and also its president. He said he owned only one share of stock and that share had once in- creased to five, but shrunk again to one share. He had one share left him by a will and bought some last winter. He said he came to the office first in response toa telegram from John W. Mackay in 1875 to act as secretary of the company before the consolidativn.” He afterward was made president at the request of Mr. Barron. ‘When asked how many times he had been to the mine for the consolidated or- anization from 1884 up to the present time fie said he did not know, but that he had been presentat all the meetingsof the company. “T have always advised with the finance firm, Flood, Fair & O'Brien, when they had control of the stock or were large owners,” said the witness in answer to a question by Attorney H. G. Sieberst. “AL tie time of making the contract with J. P. Jones in 1885 did you not sign it by the direction of Flood, Mackay, or both or either of them?” “No, sir.”’ \ “Did you not so testify in another case?”’ “I did, but I was mistaken about signing. the contract. These contracts were ex- tended in one case three yezars. Flood said to me the contract was to be extended and it was done by a resolution in the meeting of the trustees.” In regard to the witness’ testimony in the former case on the subject of the price paid on Jones’ contract the counsel asked: “Did you know the con’ract price on the original Jones contract was $9 a ton ?”’ ““Yes; under the contract of 1883, when Jones took out the ore and took it to the mill himself and crushed it.” In regard to the proposition of Jones to surrender the contract provided new con- cessions were made, witness said he did not know that he said anything to Mackay, but he did to Flood. The case was adjourned at 4:30 o’clock at the request of Mr. Sieberst, who was too ill to continue. It will go on again at 10 o’clock this morning. DECLARED TO0 BE DEAD. Mrs. Johnson Went to Chicago in 1893 and No More Has Ever Been Heard of Her. Mrs. Ann Johnson is officially declared to be dead. She started on November 20, 1893, for a visit to Chicago and nothing has been heard from her since. « The woman’s relatives are Harriet Ann 3, or otherwise no superintendent has been appointed and it is in effect a County Jail, the Sneriff is the proper party to have charge under the act of 1893. If the insti- tution cannot be construed into a County Jail the commitment of the child is to the Boara of Supervisors, and having the power to receive a child they certainly have the power to name who shall have charge of her. Judge Slack remanded the defendant, thus deciding in faver of the contention of the people. Attorney Wirt will take the matter to the Supreme Court. PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS Stanford University Has Se- cured a Man for Dr. War- ner’s Place. . H. Powers, Now In Europe, the Young Man Recommended by Professor Warner. Professor H. H. Powers of Smith College was recently offered an independent pro- fessorship in economics at Stanford Uni- versity, and he has just accepted the posi- tion created for him. At Palo Alto little is known of Professor Powers except that he was a fellow in economics at Johns Hopkins University, and when, several years ago, Professor Ely was called to the head of the eco- nomics department at the University of Wisconsin, Professor Powers went with him and accepted a position in his department. Professor Powers is a young man. Heis now spending his summer vacation in Europe. Assoon as his whereabouts was learned the offer was telegraphed to him from Palo Alto, and he %ns wired his acceptance. The university is elated at having se- cured him, because he was the first man Dr. Warner named as competent to fill his own position, which he cannot yet resume. Dr. Warner is the head of the economics department at Stanford, and President Jordan considers him the strongest man in his line in the United States. Professor Warner has been absent from the uni- versity since last winter, and is now in Colorado, refraining entirely from work. His physician warned him to stop study and classwork for a time, as he was in danger of going into consumption, brought on by too much application to work. _The indorsement of Dr. Warner is con- sidered sufficient recommendation for the young professor, otherwise comparatively little known on this coast. Dr. Ross, grofessor of the economics department at tanford, was equally little known when, only four years ago, he received his doctor's degree at Johns Hopkins, but now, though he lacks a year of being 30 years of age, there is no college professor on this coast better known for his educa- tional work in and out of college. It has been the policy of Stanford University to secure young men of promise who are still students while they are teachers, and who have not vet arrived at that stage where they may feel that they can rest upon their oars because of a reputation already acquired elsewhere. ——————— Drunken Mothers. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has started a crusade against drunken mothers who neglect their children. On Sat- urday Mrs. Maggie Patterson, who lived ina filthy hovel in the rear of 85 Perry street with her two children, was arrested while in a drunken stupor. Yesterday she was convicted bz Jadge Joachimsen of cruelty to a minor child and will be sentenced to-day. Mrs. Lizzie McFadden, 322 Third street, who has been drlnklnf heavily and neglecting her four- weess-old child, was arresied yesterday on the same charge. The children have been sent to the Infants’ Shelter. Baking Powder Absolutely Pure . T0 CHEAPEN WATER RATES The Union for Practical Prog- ress to Raise a Political Issue. FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. A Plan of Organizing Assembly Dis~ trict Clubs to Diminish Offi- clal Corruption. A good deal is expected from this even- ing's meeting of the Union for Practical Progress at Builders’ Exchange Hall, 16 Post street. The subject for discussion is “Municipal Ownership of Water, Gas and Electric Light Works.” And something far more than a mere discussion is looked for—action, in fact. Plans have been brewing for several weeks past. Local clubs have been organized and methods pretty thoroughly discussed for the formation of an organization whose purpose it will be to make the municipal ownership of public utilities a living issue in the next local campaign. At least a permanent central organiza- tion will probably be formed at the meet- ing this evening, and the further plan will be to continue the organization of As- sembly district clubs throughout the City. Those who at present form the nucleus of the movement claim that thereis al- ready a very strong public sentiment in favor of the City owning its own water, and electric light plants and operating them for the sole benefit of the consumer. “All that is needed now,” said John M. Reynolds—who, as vice-president of the society, will preside at this evening’s meec- ing—*all that is needed now is to organize and crystallize that sentiment and belief. It takes no lengthy argument to convince the man of average intelligence that it is for his personal interest, as well as for the best interests of all the citizens, to have such naturally public functions as gas, water and electricity plants owned and operated by the City for the citizens. “Every man who has given the matter any thought realizes that if the City of San Francisco owned its own water plant the water rates could and would be re- duced to the consumer fully one-half. The same is true with gas and electricity. Why should the people of this City be pay- ing big prices for their water and light to the end of enriching the stockholders of the water and light companies? Great fortunes have been already made out of these enterprises. In other words, the tax- payers have made several new millionaires simply for performing a public duty that the taxpayers could have performed for themselves far better and far cheaper. “But the saving in actual money to the taxpayers is the smallest end of the argun- ment. An honest Board of Supervisors is the great thing to be desired. What is it that causes all this official corruption? Simply the existence of these big corpora- tions that depend for their existence and profit upon the favor of the public. “But they donot court the public favor by cheap rates and honest treatment. They find it cheaper and more profitable to buy the people’s official servants. Now, if these corporations were removed, official municipal corruption would, in a very large measure, cease. That is really the great end to be obtained by the munici- palization of the public utilities. ‘“Yes, there is a stock objection always offered to the plan—that this would create more offices and more patronage for the politicians. but two very simple little words of two syllables each quickly bury out of sight this objection—civil service re- form. That would do it. The plan works very well in the postoffice, does it not? It would work equally as well in City affairs. The experiences of the Eastern cities have proven the great benefits to be derived from this system.’”’ M. J. Ferguson will address the meeting this evening, and the Rev. J. E. Scott and several other prominent speakers are ex- pected. COMMENDS MAJOR BERRY. Approval of His Farming Scheme Recently Published in ‘“The Call.”” To the Editor of the Call: My article on Major Berry’s truck-farming to supply that supposed city in the great 8an Joaquin Valley of a mil- lion or more inhabtitants has been the means of bringing the major to the front, and his article in your paper of the 16th inst. shows the major is uo to date in diversified farming in that portion of the great valley. Every- thing seems to have done well there but almonds and apricots. The major tells thata friend of his cleared off his ranch (I suppose it was only twenty acres) $4546 net. Prihint from the major’'s ideas of hlvins all in prunes and let the “other fellow’ furnish the eggs, butter, vegetables and such other things that are needed; that he, like myself, came from the South, where we raised cotton and sold it for cash, and had to pay to the great Northwest for the supplies to run the farm. 1 suppose the man who owns the ranch, or the twenty acres, was on good ana suitable land—not around Tulare Lake, but on such land as that west of Porterville, north and south of the timber belt on Tule River. I lived in the major’s county in 1887, at a lace called Woodville, and there was fine and in thatsection and some of the finest apri- cot trees and and almonds, that beat anything I had ever seen. I tried to buy twenty acres f(mm John McCake, whom I presume the major nows. When I wrote my article I knew the San Joaquin Valley Railroad was going up the val- ley to give all who had been, like the major, taxed all the trafhc would bear. Theday of de- liverance is nearat hand. Go ahead, major, next year you can ship what you raise without ng all for freight. Raise peanuts, beans, melons, ete. You can ship them and have something left for your labor. I did not say plant pomegranates between the trees as, the major says. I would hedge my twenty acres with pomegranates an uinces, both good fruits to ship, and when the people are educated to use them the world will be a mar- ket for the jeilies made from them. What fruit is attracting more attention than the olive? Who would eat an olive or use the oil until educated ? The American has been raised on the hog and its product. Tell one of them to fry her chicken in olive oil instead of lard, and she would look at you and say, “Do you think I do not know how to fry & chicken? The major’s article is all I could ask for, and more than I could write, because it is from experi- ence. Write again, major. J. R. SrMms, M.D. — e A Big Concession Wanted. Several weeks ago the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association received a letter from the Coast Carriage and Wagon Company of Corvallis, Or., stating that the company de- sired to move their plant to California and ask- ing whether any city on the line of a railroad o; steamship line would guarantec enough in the shape of money and puilding site, etc., to warrant the company in making the change.

The inquiry had to be postponed because most of the witnesses from whom tangible testimony was expected were away in the country.
