THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1895. LATEST OAKLAND NEN General Feeling of Uncertainty 3 Regarding the Status of Labor Day. TELEGRAPH POLE TROUBLES. An Oakland Minister Devises a San- itary Chalice for Communion Service. OARLAND OF¥IcE SAN FRANCISCO (‘U.L,% 5 908 Broadway, Sept. 2 ° Everything was mixed up in Oakland to- day in official circles and nobody seemed to know whether Labor day was a legal holiday or not. As soon as they arrived at the courthouse the four erior Judges took the matter under considera- tion, but Judge Greene said he could not determine the question by the law books and it was decided to continue all calen- dars till to-morrow. The calendars were called in each court and the matter ex- plained to theattorneys. Some arguments were heard, but only by consent, and Judge Frick decided to take no chances and continuned everything till Tuesday. The County Treasurer’s, County Clerk’s, Auditor's and other offices were open for business, but no judgments or decrees were entered up. Most of the attorneys refused to file papers and altogether the day’s proceedings were semi-farcical asno one was sure whether they were doing right or wrong. 'he National banks kept open and did business as usual. The labor unions made no effort to ob- serve the National Labor day, but the Postoffice made a holiday of the day and there was only one delivery. The Board of Supervisors met as usual, relieving a few 1indigents they until to-morrow to avoid com- TROUBLE OVER POLES. Not Natives of Poland, but Pine Trees in Use. The article that appeared 1n THE CarL | four weeks ago calling attention to the inance that has been a dead letter e its passage, over a year ago, has aroused some of the city officials to a sense of their duty. There is an ordinance that each pole shall be taxed $2 50 per an num round rental, and each company is re- ed to put its name and a number on wditor Scow drove around East Oak- land a few Jays ago and found it impos- sible to_find out whom the various poles belonged to, as they were not numbered or marked. He reported the matterto the reads of the ‘elephone and telegraph com- nd 14ey promised to comply with but have not doneso. A com- plaint will be made to the City Attorney, who will be required to issue warrants for the local managers if the numbers are not ly put on the poles. The ordinance s passed during the turbulent anti- Iroad times of two years ago and was cted mainly against the poles owned y that company for the whole length of rves and along its West Oakland ac! It is stated on authority that the city will be forced to sue for the tax before it will be paid. Ruinous Speculating. J. B. McArthur has filed his pet n in g insolvency. He says he was & bank clerk but he also speculated in real estate. Mc Arthur’s.debts reach the sum of $10,349. | The total is composed mainly of 8 number of promissory notes, some of which are | secured and some are not. Among the se- cured notes is one of $3000 made to the| bank of Dixon. Some of the heavier notes | that aresecured are held at Winters by the following persons: V. Slade, $2228; W. H. Robinson, $375; M. 0. Wyatt, $500; G. W. Hodge, $500 and $400. Some of the unse-. cured paper is held as follows: William Smrith, $1 Frank Mills, $150; J. H. Hink, $600; P. J. Doll, $200; J. M. Derby, $195. McArthur has' personal property worth $8000, but it is incumbered for $6600, so it is not considered an asset. He is now em- ployed by the Pullman Car Company and was forced to assign his $60 salary to meet the expenses of the proceedings. A New Communion Cup. Rev. Dr. Marshall Law, rector of the Church of the Advent, has just invented a communion cup that does away with the objectionable feature of all sipping from the same chalice. The new cup isabout five inches in diameter and is indented ail round. The indentations begin at the rim, where they are about an inch in width. There are sixteen of them and they run to the bottom of the cup, gradually getting | smaller. By gently turning the cup with the opening toward the communicant a small quantity of the wine is forced from the reservoir in the center and flows into one of the ducts. By raising the cup in a per- f\endxculnr manner and again turning it a ittle another sip is forced, ana by this means sixteen people can use the same chalice without drinking at the same place, Itis said that when the new cups were used at the Church of the Advent yester- day about 50 per cent more people partook of the sacrament. A Good Word for Garcia. The dispatch published this mornin that Carlos Garcia from this city ha robbed 8 merchaut at Salt Lake City cre- | ated some surprise. Garcia was formerly floorwalker for one of the largest dry goods houses in Oakland. “I think that there must be a mistake,” aid Hugo Abrahamson this morning. He was a thoroughly honest and upright young man so far as 1 know, and when in onr employ he gave perfect satisfaction. I never imew him to do anything that was not strictly honest. It is my opinion that he fell into the hands of a gang of ruffians, | who shifted the blame upon him. I hope * Le will come out all right.” ‘Whist Tournament. The arrangements for the games to be played by the Oakland Whist Club in response to a challenge from the S8an Fran- cisco club have been completed. The first game will be played in Oakland Friday evening, September 6; the second in San Francisco Tuesday evening, Sep- tember 10, and the third Tuesday evening. September 17. Lots will be drawn to decide upon the location of the last game. Both clubs are looking forward to this match with considerable interest, as it is several months since the ciubs bave met, and in the meantime the Oakland people have been training hard in preparation for expected matches this winter. No Excuse for Getting Left. Oakland Parlor, N. 8. G. W., has issued & circular requesting all members who are going to Sacramento with it to meet at California Hall on Saturday, September 7, at 3 ». M., to participate in a street parade to the train, at First and Broadway. Ac- commodations have been secured for all who desire to attend at Sacramento. Any one going is requested to immediately communicate with J. Cal Ewing, at tbe Hall of Records, stating the number of rooms wanted. Uniforms can be had at the ball Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon. A Gypsy’s Warning. Nathaniel Wharton, a gypsy horse- trader, was “brakebeaming” his ‘way from Stockton yesterday morning when he fell off his perch and one of his legs was cut off by the cars. The poor feilow lay for three hours before he was seen and faken to the hospital. He went to Stockton to look for work, but failed to find it. He was trying to reach his home in North Dakland and was only a few blocks off hen he so nearly lost his life. Change of Management. Mrs. M. C. Robinson has succeeded Robert Gay, the Alamedal,ex-Assembly- man, in the management of the Galindo Hotel, Bighth and Franklin streets. Mrs. Robinson bas leased the hotel for a term of vears, and is renovating the building throughout and placing new furniture in the rooms. Shels a smart business lady, who has had much experience in the hotel business, and as a caterer has but few equals. She Had No Case. Walter R. Walker, who was arrested for an alleged deception of Miss Mabel Haz- zard under promise of marriage, was dis- charged to-day on motion of the Prose- cuting Attorney. The young lady con- fessed to so many things on the stand that it was very evident that no case could be made out against Walker. HISTORV OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters.

The Associated Charities is the name of a neat little monthly paper, containing twelve peges, of which the first number has just been issued. The constitution and by-laws of the association are printed in this namber. The fire engine on Twenty-third avenue has been without & heater, and at the suggestion of Mayor Davie one will be attached to itin order tnat it may be better prepared to cope with s fire. The Garfield school is located in the engine's district. This morning William Lair Hill received from C. M. White of Portland Or.,s dispatch to the effect that the accusation of fraud here- tofore published in the papers in connection | of lands by G.

Injured From a Dive Into Shallow Water—Death Resulted Ffrom a Fracture of the Skull. ALAMEDA, CaLn., Sept. 2.—Charles Tracy, a 16-year-old boy who lived with his guardian at 228 Eleventh street, San Fran- | cisco, came to Alameda Sunday afternoon, with a companion named John Bullivan, to go in bathing at the Sunny Cove baths. | Young Tracy met with an accident and | received injuries which caused his death | at 3 o’clock this morning. An inquest was | held this afternoon by Coroner Baldwin, | who after taking some testimony contin- | | ued it until to-morrow afternoon in order | that the Sullivan boy might be summoned as a witness. None of the attendants at the bath house knew aught of the accident except by hearsay. { Dr. W. 0. Smith was called to attend the i chesk, but he was conscious and his pulse was fairly good, and he was able to talk. However, he was not able to move his legs, and breathed with difficulty. About 8 | of a pain in the back of the neck, and said i he felt as if he were drowning. He died ! about 3 o’clock this morning. The autopsy made this afternoon showed | that death resulted from a fracture of the | skull at the base of the brain. Mr. Dietz of the baths said that the water was low at. the time of the accident, not being greater than two feet in depth about the platform, which is about forty yards from the beach At high tide the water about the spring- board is five feet deep. The jury asked for the attendance of té) boy Sullivan, who resides in the neighborhood where Tracy lived with his aunt, Mrs. Connors, who has been Jund_nn of the hoy since he was a small child, and who is much grieyed over his death. The New Trustees File an Answer. Their demurrer having been recently overruled, Messrs. J. R. Knowland, George ©C. Jensen and Robert Husband have filed an answer in the proceedings brought to enjoin them from interfering with the conduct and management of the Free Library. They deny all tiie allegations, especially those charging them with hav- ing used force and violence on the 31st of last May to gain possession of the institu- tion. They refuse to recognize the plain- tiffs as members of the board and their action will probably settle the vexed ques- tion as to which is the legally constituted board to have charge. Seventh-Day Adventists. The Seventh-day Adventists’ tent at the corner of Santa Clara avenue and Paru street, where services have been held by members of that denomination for the past month, will be immediately removed to Haywards. The Seventh-day Adventists will hold services every Saturday morning at Foresters’ Hall. Preliminary steps have been taken to organize a church in Alsmeda. Not Generally Observed. Labor day was not generally observed as holiday to-day except by Postmaster Stod- dard and his employes who, however, kept the postoffice open until 10 o’clock in the morning and attended to the géneral delivery and carriers’ windows from noon to 1 o’clock. Richard Weller has sued S. H. Gulhery and | ttlementof the divorce suit between | injured youth. There was a rattling in his | { o’clock in the evening Tracy complained | AN HONOR FOR OAKLAND. Sister Partridge of Oak Leaf Chapter Now Leads the Order. A BUSY AND USEFUL LIFE. Nearly Twenty-Five Years a Mem- ber of the Order of Eastern Star. OARLAND OFrICE 8AN FRANCISCO CALY, 908 Broadway, Sent. 2. } Mrs. Mary E. Partridge of this city, who has just been elected most worthy grand matron of the Order of the Eastern Star, is | well known in fraternal circles throughout the State. She has occupied many leading positions in several orders, and in addition to her conspicuous work in the Order of the Eastern Star she has also a long and useful record in connection with the Good Tem- plars’ Orphans’ Home at Vallejo. . Mrs. Partridge is a native of Wortly, Yorkshire, England, and the first twenty quarterback, halfback and fullback, will get suits Monday afternoon, September 2. Prac- tice will commence for these men as soon as the field is in_condition. All freshmen who have played behind the line or all who are going to try for one of the above positions will get suits af the same time. Walter Magee, director of physical cul- ture, has paid considerableattention, while messuring and examining the freshmen within the last three weeks, to the selec- tion of suitable candidates for the second eleven and freshman teams. He and Cap- tain Sherman have agreed that the follow- ing men from the class of ‘89 are physically suited for work on the gridiron: Ely, King, Price, Jordan, Griseberg, Hiseman, Brand, Chesebrough, Ludlow, Carr, Olney, Hall, Swan, Morse, Downing, Helms, Sted- man, Biebe, Powers, Hooper, Filcher, Cas- tlebrun, Stone, Carver, Hutchinsos, i’Ieu, Neuman and Thompson, Several of these men have played fooghall in academic schools, and consequently will not need to | be taught the rudiments of the game. Captain Sherman is looking for a suit- able man to captain the freshmen eleven, and Reno Hutchinson has been suggested as a likely man. Information has been gained that Coach Butterworth will reach Berkeley on the 25th of September, instead | of the first week in October, as is generally understood. e | The athletic association of the Univer- | sity will lay before the Board of Regents at their next meeting a proposition to fence in the present cinder track and football field; to make a three-lap to the mile cinder path around the inner edge of the fenced portion, and still within that to have the baseball diamond and football field, thus greatly increasing the advant- ages for ali;kinds of athletics, besides pro- CONCLAVE. MRS. MARY E. PARTRIDGE OF OAELAND, TEE LADY WIO HAS JUST BEEN ELECTED MOST WORTHY GRAND MATRON OF | THE GENERAL GRAND CHAPTER OF THE UNITED STATES ORDER OF EASTERN STAR, AT THE BOSTON TRIENNIAL years of her life were spent in the land of her birth, In company with her husband and child she came to America, and a few years later the family came to California. Mrs Partridge has resided here ever since. Mrs. Partridge joined the Order of the Eastern Star in February, 1871, and was | initiated in Golden Gate Chapter No. 1 of | San Francisco. One year later she dimit- ted and at once affiliated herself with Oak Leaf Chapter No. 8 of Oakland, where she [ has since held her membership. It will soon be a quarter of a century since Mrs. Partridge was admitted to Oak Leaf Chap- ter. She was elected associate conduc- tress with the first corps of officers. | For eichteen months Mrs. Partridge held the office, and the succeeding six months | she filled the office of conductress. During the succeeding year she was secretary, and this was immediately followed by fiiteen months as associate matron. The length of the term as associate matron was due to a change in the time of election from Au- gust to November. One year later Mrs. | Partridge was elected to the office of | worthy matron of Oak Leaf Chapter. No | matron in this chapter is ever re-clected, | and so Mrs. Partridge. having filled all the offices, from lowest to highest, is now a past worthy matron and cannot fill an active office. At the meeting of the Grand Chapter in 1885 Mrs. Partridge was appointed a mem- | deputy grand matron. One year later she was elected worthy grand matron, and in | pointed on the Masonic Orphans’ Home committee. Mrs. Partridge in 1890'acted as chair- man on the Committee on Returns and in 1891 chairman on Foreign Correspdndence. | In 1893 she received the appointment to | serve on the Committee on Appeals and | Grievances. | In the General Grand Chapter, at its meeting held in 1889, she received the ap- pointment of Worthy Grand Adah, and at the session held in Cotumbus, O., in 1892, she acted on the Committee of Jjurispru- | dence, and at the same session was elecced Right Worthy Associate Grand Matron. In Boston last week she was elected to succeed Mrs. Mary C. Snedden as Most ‘Worthy Grand Matron. Mrs.” Partridge’s home is on Chester street, and the walls of the parlorsare covered with the many engrossed tributes to her zeal and kindness. Speaking of the new head of the order in this county to-day, a sister of Oak Leaf Chapter said: “Sister Partridge is an in- defatigable worker in everything she un- dertakes. 1 endeared her to the entire membership, and there was no sister more highly es- teemed than_she throughout the State of California, With remarkable executive ability, Sister Partridge is an excellent leader, and her self-sacrificing nature en- titles her to marked distinction among her associates.” LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Some Interesting Notes From the Gridiron and Athletic Field. Freshmen Elect Officers for the En- sulng Term—The Lecture of Professor Royce. BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 2.—Plans for the coming football season are gradually taking definite form, but as yet no active training has been done. Manager Lang intends to bave the field put into condi- tion within a very short time, so that the men will have an opportunity to practice tackling and falling on the ball before the arrival of the coach. Captain Sherman issued the following notice to prospective players to-day: All candidates for positions back of the line, Her interest in the order has | ber of the finance committee, and during | | the years 1886-87 she served as district | 1889 was chosen as one of five sisters ap- | viding a place to which admission can be asked if desired. 7 About twenty men may be seen daily on the running track, practicing in the differ- ent events. Most of these, however, are members of the freshman and sophomore classes. The older athletes have not as yet commenced to turn out to any great extent. 1t was intended some time ago to send a number of University athletes to Sacra- mento on the 10th inst. to contestin the athletic events which will be held there on that date, but the plan has been aban- doned. Professor Royce’s Lecture. An adjourned session of the fifty-second regular meeting of the Philosophical Union of the University was held at Stiles Hall last evening.

A Descendant of the Grantee Thinks He Sees a For~ tune Ahead. MAY OWN AN EASTERN TOWN. The Old Document Was Originally Found in an Ash Barrel In Berkeley. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Sept. 2. A letter was received by Attorney W. H. Waste to-day that shows how the story of an old deed found in a Berkeley ash-barrel has traveled East and has possibly revealed to a prominent merchant an avenue by which he can gain a fortune. About two months ago John Boyd, an expressman of Berkeley, found an old, torn, moldy document among some rub- bish that he was employed to move. He noticed that the old deed wasin a cheap gilt frame, so he picked it out of the debris and saved it. Soon after it became the property of Attorney Waste. In the course of time the story of the find was published in the newspapers and the deed was exam- ined by lawyers. It purports to be a deed to a certain tract of land in New Jersey from William Morris to William Grant. It is dated April, 1753, After examination it was pronounced to be a deed to the property that is now the site of the present town of Rahway, N. J. The deed reads as follows: To all Christian people to whom these pres- ents shall come greetings, etc.: Know that T, William Morris of Woodbridge, in the county o: Middlesex and the province of New Jersey, for and in consideratiof of the sum of one hundred and twenty-four pounds current money of the province aforesaid, to me in hand, well and truly paid by William Grant of Raway, of the burrongh of Elizabeth, county of Essex and rovince aforesaid, Cooper, before the enseal- ng hereof, the reception hereof to my full sat- isfaction, I do hereby acknowledge and myself therewith fully satisfied free and clear and freely and clearly acguitted, exonerated and discharged of and from all manner of former gifts, grants, bargains, sales, leases, mortgages, wills, entails * * doweries, and contente and thereof of every part and parcel thereof do exonerate,acquitand discharge the said William Grant, his heirs, executors and administrators forever, by these presents have given, granted, bargained, sold, aliened, conveyed and con- firmed, and by the presents do fairly, fully and absolutely give, grant, bargain, aliene, convey and confirm unto him, the said William Grant, his heirs and assigns forever, one certain messuage or piece of land lying and belng in Raway aforesaid, beginning at & stake standing by a brook on the east side of a road that leads from the county road from Raway River, thence running north 4 degrees and 30 min- utes east 9 chains and 14 links along the aforesaid road, thence south 81 degrees east 11 chains to said brook, thence down said brook the several courses thereof to the place where {t began, containing six acres, bounded westerly by road, northessterly by the %)lndko! Richard Nichols, southeast by said rook; To have and to hold the said granted and bargained premises, with all the appurte- nances, privileges, commodities to the same belonging and in any manner of ways apper- taining, unto him, said William Grant, his heirs and assigns, {orever, to his and their only proper use, benefit, behoof, forever; and I, the said Willlam Morris, for myseli and my heirs, executed and assign, do covenant, grant, prom- ise, agree. and with him, the said William Grant, his heirs and assigns, that before the ensealing hereof I am the sole and lawful owner of the above bargained premises, and am lawfully seized and possessed of the same in my own proper right as a good, perfect and absolute estate of inheritance in fee simple, and_hold in myself good rightful power and lawful authority to gramt, bar- gain, sell, couvey and confitm to the above sale, premises in a manner as above said, and that the said William Grant, his heirs and aseigns, shall and may from time to time, and at all times forever after, b{ virtue of these resents, lawfully, peacefully and quietly have, hold, use, occupy, possess and enjoy the sald granted premises, with the appurtenances, judgments, intrnders, and troubles whatso: ever; and I, the said William Morris, do further covenant and bind myself, and my heirs, ex- ecutors, and administrators, firmly by these resents, to werrant and defend the said Wil- iam Grant, his heirs and assigns, in quiet, peacedble possession of all and singular the seid granted premises against any just and lawful claim of any person whatsoever. In witness whereof, I, the said William Mor- ris, have hereuntoses my hand and seal this, the firt day of April,seventeen hundred and fifty- three. WILLIAM MORRIS. SUSANNA MORRIE. Signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of us: i THOMAB (GRANT) COOPER. William H. Grant, a business man of Trenton, N. J., in his letter, received to- day, seeks information regarding the deed which the writer believes was made to his grandfather. Grant says his family was the only.one of that name in New Jersey, and there is an interesting coincidence in the fact tbat the Christian name of his father and his grandfather was William— the same as thatof the grantee of the deed. Attorney Waste never thought anything of the deed except as a relic of colonial times, but now he thinks it may be worth more than it cost him. The document was left in Berkeley by a family who moved away from the university town three years ago. THE LIMIT 15 T00 SMALL Oakland’s Government Can- not Run Safely on a Dollar Tax. Auditor Snow Submits His Annual Estimates to the City Councll. 0AxLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 2. Auditor Snow handed his estimates for the approaching fiscal year to the Council to-night. In nearly every department the knife has been generously used, but enough has been left to provide for a new fire- engine and engine-house, for ample street lighting and sprinkling. The estimated income other than taxa- tion is $276,134; legal limit of taxation would return $455,000. Auditor’s estimate reduces department estimates $117,650. The Board of Health’s estimate of $15,000 is reduced to $5000; the dredging at the city wharf is cut $2000. The $10,000 asked for steam-rollers is estimated by the Aud- itor, but the increase of the fire-alarm and telegraph system is provided for by the Auchr but the Free Library estimate for new books is cut $1000. If the Council does not alter the Au- ditor’s figures there will be no additional patrolmen, as the police estimate has been shaved’ considerably from what Chief Lloyd desired. The estimate of §10,000 made by the Board of Education for a manual-training school is not on Mr. Snow’s list. The bond interest and redemption fund re- q:ires a tax levy of 17 cents, and this, plus ;1’1 legal limit, makes the Auditor’s levy 7. Accompanying the figures, Mr. Snow transmits a statement expressing his be- lief that the operations of the city govern- ment cannot hereafter be conducted on a $1 tax rate, unless new devices are found for increasing the incidental revenue. To keep within the limit he says it is neces- sary to scale down the department esti- mates so far that efficiency is likely to be endangered in some of the departments. — e ROYAN Baking Powder Absolulely Pure AUCTION SALES. : 11 TRUSTEES’ SALES.
