OAKLAND OFFIcE 8aN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 5. | Letters from the East, Canada and Eng- land have been received asking for infor- mation regarding the reissue of bonds voted for last Saturday. The law provides that the bonds shall be sold by sealed bids to the highest bidder, and for not less than their par value. Advertisements have been inserted in Eastern papers by telegraph, and by the 19th all bids must be in. Among the firms who are inter- ested in the sale are Black & Mason of London, Roberts & Co. of New York, Blair & Oo. of Wall street, and several others, but none have intimated what premium they intended to offer. The rate of interest, 4 per cent considered low, and it is not expected that much premium will be offered. The bonds, though called refunding bonds, will not be exchanged for the old bonds to be taken up by the new issue. They will be sold, which will give the city any premium v be offered. IS STORMED.

Some Arguments Made on Them Before Judge Ogden. The suit of the London and San Fran- 0 Bank against Emilie G. Cohen, as in- dorser of notes for $10,000 for Beck & Co., who failed some months ago, was heard to-day. The notes were held by the bank when the firm assigned. Attorney Hall stated that the banks, granted the extension which n declared destroyed the valve nature, were considering their The granting of time was a new contract, and was made with the knowledge that the indorser did not con- In reply Attorney Eells said that in June, 1893, the house of Beck & Co. was financially embarrassed. It owed $300,000 to San Francisco banks and about the same amount to outsiders. The banks were not secured for 10 per cent of the amount owed them. Judge Ogden said that he was satisfied that no extension was agreed to, but the bauk allowed leeway until the Becks could get in their securities. There was no ex- tension unless the agreement was mutual and the minds of the parties met upon the proposition. He did not think that it was probable that the banks would do business in such a manner as to forfeit their security for $40,000 and advance $25,000 more, plac- ing themselves at the mercy of other cred- itors who might comedown upon the firm. WANTS HIS FEE, A Lawyer After Two Acres and a Half of Sonoma County. Attorney August Tilden, who offered to defend Dick Ward, a jockey at the Bay District track, who, two years ago, was arrested for the murder of a stable-boy riamed Kelly, is getting weary of waiting for his pay. For his services he agreed to accept a tract of land in Green Valley, Sonoma County,owned by Thomas Ward, the father of the young murderer. Tilden claims that he was to have, according to an agree- ment made, as a fee, two and a half acres of iand, valued at $250. The trial was concluded and young Ward was convicted and sent to the penitentiary for the remainder of his natural life. Mr. Ward did not meet his agreement with his son’s attorney with reference to the com- pensation. Tilden finally brought suit in the Jus- tices’ Court, but was defeated, and has now taken an appeal to the Superior Court. Reducing City Finances. The Finance Committee of the City -Council met to-night and discussed the proposed dismissal of city officials for the purpose of redueing expenditures. 1t was decided to recommend that the offices of first and second assistants to the Fire Department be abolished and one office of first assistant and Fire Warden be created. This will let out Miles Doody and retain Murdoch. It was also decided to recommend the abolishing of the offices of License Inspector. at present filled by Lewis Mitchell, and City Numberer, filled by A. J. McMurty. e There will be much opposition to the changes, but all will probably be made, with the exception of the numberer, who may be retained. The committee also took up the tax levy, and although somewhat undecided it is likely they will recommend it to be fixed at$119. Mrs. Fisher’s Funeral.

FAILS AT LAST, The Oldest Odd Fellow in the World May Go to an Asylum. LIVED NEARLY A CENTURY. He Will Not Stay at the Comfortable Home of the Order at ‘Thermalito. OAKLAND Orrice SAN FraNcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, September 5. } The mind of Captain Williams, the aged pioneer and the oldest Odd Fellow in the world, is at last giving way. Thisnews will be somewhat of a surprise to his many friends who have known him in this State for nearly half a century. Williams claims to be the oldest Odd Fellow in the world, and for some years past he has been supported by the order. Heis 92 years of age. Within the last vear he has shown frequent lapses of memory, and now it has become necessary to take steps to place him in an institution where he will receive the care that his declining years require. He makes his home with Rev. Mr. Stovall, a retired Methodist minister, re- siding on Second street, near Webster. “‘Captain Williams haslived in my home for over a year,” said Mr. Stovall to-day, ‘-and for the reason that his mind is fail- ing rapidly I felt that I could no longer care for him, so placed the case before the 0dd Fellows, who looked into the circum- stances. They decided that the elegant new Odd Fellows’ Home at Thermalito, near Oroville, was the proper place for Captain Williams. “The matter was duly arranged and on Monday I accompanied him to the home, Graves. The Little Annie will go on a similar trip with Burham, T. G. Daniells and others. Struck Oil. A party of gentlemen comprising Messrs. D. L. Randolph, Captain T. D. Poole and J. A. Durkee left for the vicinity of Berke- ley this morning, where they will inspect wells reported to be flowing with petro- leum oil. Should the supply warrant it an endeavor will be made to interest several Al?l::edsnl in the company owning the wells. Baptist Ministerial Union, The Baptist Ministerial Union of San Francisco will hold an open_meeting here next Thursday in the First Baptist Church on Santa Clara avenue. Rev. J. G.

When we reached our destination and all arrange- ments for his stay were made, Captain Williams refused to remain, and grew quite unmanageable when an attempt was made to keep him, consequently I was forced to bring him back to Oakland. “His case has been investigated by the members of his order, who have now con- cluded to have him brought before the Commissioners of Lunacy, as he is daily growing more irrational. “‘The Odd Fellowsallow him $4 a week for his snEport, and he is supposed to provide | something toward his keeping, but he has now reached the stage that he cannot do it. He has a son somewhere in Santa Clara County, a poor man with a family who has tried several times to give his father a home, but the captain is so diffi- cult to please in his state of mind that his son cannot keep him. “He also has a daughter somewhere on the coast, but I do not know where, and therefore cannot communicate with her.” LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA Executive Session Held by the Free Library Trus- tees Yesterday. Private Citizens May Bulld the Library and Then Lease It to the City. ALAMEDA, Car., Sept. 5,—City Trustees Leydecker, Hammond and Clark were in executive session Tuesday with the Board of Free Library Trustees, all of whom were present except George H. Mastick. The question of the erection of the library building was thoroughly discussed. Esti- mates were presented to show that the levy, with the special tax of 20 cents for the building, should not be more than $1 26 for city purposes, and on this theory the three trustees cxpressed themseives favorable to the project. Thecity attorney has, however, expressed a doubt as to the legality of the tax to create the library building fund. They could not levy a tax for library purposes, though they could make the general fund large enough to .be able to appropriate money out of that fund to erect the building. To overcome the objections a suggestion was made that the building be built by private citizens inter- ested and then leased to the city, whose ayments of rent might be accepted as Rumllmenm on the cost of the purchase rice, something after the manner of build- ing and loan association payments.

Fred Mason is on trial in Judge Wallace's court charged with attempting to swindle An- tonio Menino out of $4000 by a lottery game. Menino, it is charged, was made to belfeve that he had won £4000 in a lottery on O'Farrell street, but a deposit of that amount of money was required before the lottery payment could be made. Menino had the money in the Hi- bernia Bank and he went and gotit. He was cautious enough to have his wife with him and, although the woman was at first elated over the prospect of the addition to her hus- band’s wealth, she broke up the bunko game before Menino had parted with the coin. —————— Mrs. McLean’s Testimony. Mrs. Carrie McLean, the defendant in the divorce case now on trial in Judge. Hebbard’s | court, was & wilness yesterday. She denied the charges made by her husband and declared that Mr. McLean was mnnel‘yl jealous. No denial was made in regard to her leendshlg for Watt, but it was only friendship. She ha been to the Turkish dance at the streets of Cairo, she said, but she left the place as soon as she saw the character of the performance. Ever since she met Watt she had been followed by her husband’s private detectives, and the latter followed her wherever she went. The case will probably be concluded to-day. —————— Jean Paul Ritcher has only five or six books, all philosophically. Bicycle accidents are becoming so frequent and of such alarming charac- ter that public attention is aroused. They nearly always occur from lack of nerve or judgment. take Henley’s Celery, Beef and Iron do not lose their presence of mind, but maintain a cool head. It builds up the system and improves the nerves. [T DOES FOR EVERY ONE WHAT IT 99 DOES FOR CYCLISTS. Cyeclists who NEW TO-DAY. ALWAYS TIRED. ", HOW MANY WOMEN DO YOU ENOW Who Can Say They Are Thoroughly Well? How They Can Be Strong. (SPECTIAL TO OUR LADY READERS.) (I don’t feel very well; T am so tired all the time; I don’t know what is the mat- ter with jue. You hear these words every day. As often as you meet your friends, just so often are the words re- peated. More y than likely you 7~ speak the samd pregnant words yourself, and there is no doubt but that you do feel far from well most of the time. There is & cause, And — There is & remedy forall that is cov- ered by those words so constantly spoken by women. Lydia E. Pinkham discovered the source of nearly all the suffering endured by the sex. “Women's Complaints,” —these two words are full of more misery to women than any two words that can be found in the language of the world. Sudden fainting, depression of spirits, reluctance to g anywhere or to do any- thing, backache, ¢ bearing down,” and kindred symp- toms of serious disturbance sel- dom imagined by your family phy- sician, and re- luctantly men- tioned by you. The remedy is found; the same 43 noble woman who discovered the cause of all your misery also worked out the remedy. All druggists have it. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound is the greatest blessing that ever came into iiie lives of suffering women. TELEPHONE RATES. SERVICE No. 1. 014, %9 50 New, 85 50 Per Month.
