The childrens’ grandmother, Mrs. Annie A. Pratt, died in Los Angelesin February, 1894, and left an estate worth $§500,000, which she disposed of by a will. The petitioner claims that had the be- quests and provisions of the will been car- ried out the entire estate would have been consumed. L. Campbell was appointed guardian ov Mrs. Iratt prior to her death, as she was adjudged incompetent. As h he sued Anah E. Mansfield and Louise G. Cross, sisters of Mrs. Annie A. Pratt, to recover property worth $40,000 | which had been transferred to them, it was alleged, by Mrs. Pratt when she was not of sound mind. The compromise as proposed allows the | two sisters of M ?’rut[ to retain this property given them by her, and upon the further payment of $3000 they will relin- quish and convey to Lucy C. Goodspeed for the year fol- | tigation, but his evidence will not be very material.

Scoville, a real estate agent of Oakland, and Miss Henrietta Linden Hin- ton were married this evening at the resi- dence of the bride’s parents, 2422 Tele- gra ph avenue, by Rev.

Mayor Davie said this was only an asion of the law and would have to be stopped. He believed a street laborer earned his money in eight hours’ work. The clerk was authorized to reply to Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald’s letter of inquiry regarding the placing of the eight- hour clause in all contracts, and'as to whether men employed by the board were worked longer than eight hours, and give him the needed information.

The members of his church were loth to lose Mr.Wendt, and have bestirred themselves so vigor- ously in efforts to fi;uy off the mortgage at once that he will stand by them in their financial distress. Liberal donations are being made, and members who have here- tofore been passive promise assistance, which will aid materially in freeing the church from its burden. CAN’T AFFORD TO WED. A Soldier Bold Who Confesses He Is Not Gallant. Major John F. Hayes, who is fightinga breach of promise suit brought against him by Miss Carrie Lockyer of Berkeley, to-day filed an answer to her second amended com- plaint. He admits they were engaged on October 7, 1893, but denies that they agreed to marry on April 15 of last year. He states that reasons for his refusing to marry the plaintiff arise out of bis finan- cial condition, and declares that sickness and disability of those dependent upon him render it unwise and unreasonable for him to incur the expense which would be necessary upon his marriage. He thinks that, in view of his circum- stances and the duties already existing and imposed upon him_ by law, a reasonable time has not elapsed for a marriage to take tival and £ The San Franc sold to 8.

OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Aug. 25. Ban Leandro has a sensation. Its judi- cial dignity has been offended and the oc- cupant of the bench has been obliged to resort to the plebeian use of sticking plaster to prevent the cold air from enter- ing his system in unwonted places. Tom Goodwin, a fashionable young man of San Leandro, had a difference with Thomas Gill. Itis not definitely known what the trouble was about, but it is hinted that a lady was somewhere secreted in the initial cause of the unpleasantness. The two Thomases forgot the obligation they were under to the peace and dignity of the State of: California and somchow or other Goodwin disturbed the peace of Gill. The latter made a complaint -to Justice Quinn, and that dignifary issued a warrant against Tom Goodwin, Now, Goodwin has a big brother and an t of the second account of Ira ver 0f the Piedmont Cable Com- continued for three weeks from g the chu place. WHIDDEN TESTIFIES, The Auditor Is Called Before the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury assembled at the Court- house at an early hour this morning, and aiter waiting half an hour for Assistant District Attorney Lin 8. Church, who was engaged in court, settled down to its labor of investigating the tax deficit. The first witness called was County Auditor Myron Widden. He had been in attendance upon the Grand Jury since last Monday morning, but was not called upon beforeto testify. Ex-County Assessor Robert Leckie was {o-day subpenned to appear before the Grand Jury in connection with the inves- aggressive one. His family nas lived in San Leandro many years and none have ever been in danger of the County Jail. The warrant against Thomas angered big brother John and John resolved on imme- diate and summary satisfaction. He called on Judge Quinn yesterday, and just how it happened no one seems to know except the Jl:xd e, and he will not talk in case he might said to be prejudging his case. The “satisfaction” ended by Judge Quinn being badly battered. In fact if he was as badly battered as he says he was in his complaint sworn to to-day he must have succumbed to that tired feeling. John Goodwin has now been arrested for assault and battery on a Justice of the Peace. Courtesy will forbid Quinn’s hear- ing either case, so they have been trans- ferred to Haywards, e was pre\'cnledl o Theological Seminary has | TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES, The Results of Five Inquests Held at the Morgue Yesterday. MRS. “DR.” C. SCHMIDT'S CASE. She Was Insane From Family Troubles When She Committed Suiclde Last Week. Five inquests were held at the Morgue yesterday and Coroner Hawkins had a | busy morning of it. The deaths inquired into were those of Mrs. “Dr.” Caroline Schmidt, Wiltiam T. Oliver, Mrs. Withel- mina Schmalholz, J. T. Chamberlin and Charles Etsasser. In the case of Oliver the | jury returned a verdict of ‘“accidental | death,” and in that of J. T. Chamberlin, the Alameda dairyman, it was ‘‘by a pis- tol shot inflicted by himself either with suicidal intent or accidentally.”” The Cor- oner did not concur in _either of these ver- dicts, and so far has not approved them. The Coroner’s chambers were crowded at an early hour in the morning by the wit- | nesses and jurymen called in the various cases. By far the greatest interest, how- and for the redemption of which there is not a cent in the treasury. The Good Roads Association, the Mer- chants’ Exchange, the majority of the city officials are all advocating the refund- ing of the debt. The Merchants’ Exchange at last night’s meeting passed the follow- ing resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of the board of directors of the Merchants’ Exchange that the outstanding 3140,000 of 5 per cent bonds be refunded, and deem it to be for the best inter- ests of not only the merchants and business men, but for the public at large, irrespective of their vocation. The Populists meet nightly at City Hall Park and denounce the reissue, and whether they will be able to prevent the two-thirds vote necessary to carry the proposition is not easily forecasted. The taxpayers will need to vote to a man if they do not want_to see the levy for next year raised from $1 12 to $1 50, In a lengthy communication issued by the Good Roads Association on this sub- ject the following paragraphs occur: A failure to pay the bonds when they become due will destt%y the credit of the city. The modern municipality must borrow money and must issue bonds as securlty for its repayment. Permanent improvements of any magnitude are too expensive for the whole cost to be paid outof the tax levy for any one year. Those who are to enfoy the benefits of these improve- ments in the future should be celled upon to bear their share of the expense. But should Oakland repudiate these bonds it will be im- ossible to borrow money at any future time. Fhe capitalist who knows that a city has repudiated its indebtedness will no more lend money to that dity than he would to any other bankrupt. There isa movement on foot to secure the Wilmerding industrial school for this City. The establishment of that institution here would be of incalculabie benefit. Its coming | depends upon the granting of a site, but are the trustees likely to act upon the faith of a city whose honor has been tarnished by a repudia- tion of its debt?

The husband of the | dead woman was the first witness called, | and as he took the stand Attorney M. J. | Waldheimer took a seat not far away. | Jacob Dietrich, the divorced husband of i Mrs. Schmidt, was an interested spectator. | | He was on friendly terms with the wid- ower and seemed prepared to testify in his behalf if called upon. { In his testimony Schmidt said his wife | had on several occasions threatened to | take her own life. She was despondent over the case pending against ber in the Buperior Court for having performed a criminal operation on Louise Hauser. “I was acquitted,” said the doctor, triumph- antly, “but my wife was held to answer.” “Have you ever seen this latter pefore?” asked the Coroner, at the same time hand- |'ing him the following: | 84N FRANCISCO, June 8, 1895. This is to certify that I, Mrs. A. Mettler, on | or about the 6th inst. received treatment from Mrs. Dr. Goodwin at 1320 Market street of this City, for a criminal purpose. In the meantime to attend to me to completion of the work, and accordingly I applied to Dr. C.J.Schmidt to attend to me. In case of any accident I exon- erate him from all blame. Mgs. METTLER. Witnesses: Mrs. Dr. Schmidt a Dr. Field. The witness admitted having received the document from Mrs. Mettler and_said the woman lived somewhere on Elsie street, near West avenue. He admitted that Mrs. Goodwin and the notorious Mrs. Lapham were one and the same person, and that Mrs, Mettler told him she had been operated upon. He persisted how- lar course of practice and secured the cer- tificate to protect himself. Asked why he did not report the matter to the police or District Attorney, the only excuse he could give was that he did not know that that was the proper course to pursue. At this point Waldheimer wanted to ask some questions, but was promptly sup- pressed by the Coroner, who told him to mind his own business as he was conduct- { ing the inquiry. Wilhelmina Dietrich, who said she wasa daughter of the deceased and a milliner at 219 Bixth street, said there were two causes for her mother’s suicide. One was her un- happy family life and the other grief over the suicide of her sister. On several occa- gions she had heard her mother say she was tired of living. On one occasion Dr. Schmidt fired a shot in the kitchen while she and her mother were at work, but whether at her mother or not she could not tell, as her back was toward them. Sckmidt walked up behind his wife and fired. These were all the witnesses cailed, and the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the deceased committed suicide through ‘““temporary insanity caused by family troubles.” Dr. Schmidt wanted to make an exolana- tion of his conductto the assembled crowd, but Dr. Hawkins very promptly ordered him to keep quiet. The case of William T. Oliver, who died from opium poisoning at 1621 Vallejo street, was the next case examined into. Dr. O. W. Jones told how he found the pa- tient on the morning of his death and said he learned from his chemist that Oliver was in the habit of purchasing half-ounce bottles of the drug at one time. Mrs. Nellie Oliver, however, swore that her hus- band never used opium and she never saw any of itin the house. Her husband had been sick six months, but had no troubles to worry over. v After the verdict of accidental death had been brought in the Coroner called Mrs. Oliver again and questioned her as to what insurance was on her husband’s life. She was only able to inform him of one com- pany in which he held a small policy. In the case of Mrs. Minnie Schmalholz the verdict was suicide by ‘‘Rough on Rats.” R.H.Pahl, father of the deceased, denied emphatically ever having stated that his daughter had been criminally operated upon. R. T. Chamberlin shot himself on one of the Oakland steamers and Charles El- sasser on his wife’s grave. ANXIETY ABOUT BONDS. The Merchants’ the Exchange Indorses Refunding Propo- sition. OAKLAND OFFICE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, August 23, } The bond election of next Saturday is now engaging the attention of every tax- payer in Cakland. For the first time in the history of journalism in Alameda County, all the three daily papers of Oak- land are advocating the same thing. This time it is the reissue of the school bonds, amounting to §140,000, due next Saturday, the said Mrs. Goodwin was arrested and failed | ever that he only took the case in the regu- | cured by this City.

(LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, One Hundred and Thirty-Two Books Disappeared From the Library. The Faculty, Puzzled Over the Fact, Discuss It Before the Students. BERKELEY, Aug. 28. — During the academic year '94-'95 132 hooks were lost from the university library, taken, as Librarian Rowell supposes, by thoughtless persons, who intended to return them. The students of the umversity, both those at Berkeley and in the affiliated col- leges, are granted the utmost privileges of the library, being allowed to go about in the alcoves as they choose and to refer to whatever books they desire, at any and all times during library hours. Mr. Rowell said to-day that there are but very few colleges in the United States where students are granted the freedom of the libraries to such an extent as they are at the University of California, and he re- gretted very much the thought of having to place any restriction whatsoever upon the continuance of the established prac- tice. Each year a certain number of valu- able books remain unaccounted for, but during the past season a far gre’ter loss than usual has been sustained. All persons who take books from the library under the rules are required to register the name and number of each volume, but of the 132 books now lost none have been registered with the librarian. The subject has caused the most keen regret on the part of the entire faculty, ana several of the professors spoke at length regarding the matter to their classes to- day. A circular letter has been issued by the president and circulated among the students, to which is_appended the names of the books lost, It asks for individual and collective action in finding the books lost ‘and preventing a recurrence of the abuse in future. Football Men in Practice. A number of prospective football-play- ers, under the direction of Captain Edward Sherman, appeared on the campus this afternoon for an hour's work of light prac- tice in kicking and running after the ball. This is the first step toward active training that has been taken this season. As the round has not {let been put into condi- ion only the lightest and simplest work can be undertaken for the present. Ca tain Sherman said that the field would probably be put into condition for slaying about the middle of SBeptember and other reparations made for the coming of Coach utterworth. Another Boat Club, Bome of the students of the university are considering a &zropoul to organize a new boat club and put up a boathouse at West Bexkele{. This new scheme seems to have been brought about by the desire of some to have boating facilities closer at hand since the present U. C. boathouse 18 80 far remote from the university grounds.

G. Brick Replies to Percy and Hamilton. A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. He Does Not Think tne City Hall Rooms Adapted to Library Purposes. ALAMEDA, CAr., Aug. 28.—The contro- versy as to whether the room in the new pxty Hall is adequate for library purposes is still being actively carried on. J. G. Brick, one of the trustees of the Free Library, has joined issue with Librarian Harbourne, and while finding no fault with the room, which he considers large and well-lighted, does not thir it is suitable for the present use of {he libzary, let alone the fature. In his opinion it cannot he made to serve the purpose for which it was designed. Mr. Brick thinks it would have been zood policy to have consulted the trustees of the Free Library, as, in the first instance, the room was designed for their use. After thorough investigation of the matter, he objected to moving to the quarters provided there, to be packed like sardines. The architects claimed that the entrance being changed, aitered their plan of the room. The change was made at his sug- gestion because he found that the water closets were close to the entrance. It was, however, too late to alter them, aud until then he had no idea the space assigned was s0 small. On Assigned Claims. J. H. Bruns has brought suit against Mrs. M. A, Jones of East Oakland on as- signed claims amounting to $516. To se- cure himself he has attached the New Jer- sey Dairy owned by her, but managed by her son, J. T.

Cal. & Va. $2 80, and so on. A weaker feeling succeeded on the noon informal session, however, and prices declined the rest of the day, closing weak, as will be seen by the quotations. It is reported that the ore strike in the west cross- cut from the joint upraise from the surface tunnel, which the Confidence and Challenge Con. have been running, is regarded as important, but not enough work has yet been done to determine the extent or value of the new find. The ore is said to run high in gold. Work has been commenced In the West Con. Cal. & Va. through the Con. Va. shat, and the explor- ing of this west country on the 1100-foot level of the Con.
