4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1895. NEWS OF THE COAST. A Big Boom in Santa Clara Real Estate Expected. MANY TRANSFERS MADE. People From the East Desir~ ous of Settling in the Valley. DEMAND FOR LAND INCREASING San Franciscan and Outside Capitail Interested — A New Water Syndicate. BAN JOSE; Cav., Sept. 8.—The Mercary, in an article on real estate transfers, will 8aY 10-MOITOW : The number of fnquiries being made by residents of other portions of the Pacific Coast, as well as the Eastern States, justify the real estate dealers in believing that & markea im- provement in the condition of the real estate market may be expected very soon. Even during the past two months the tone has been much better than for at least two years past. Those residing upon the Pacific Coast who have become familiar with the fame of this valley are offering all kinds of inducements to trade their real estate holdings for Santa Clara lands and in other ways are showiug their anxiety to become residents of this section. The Eastern people are sending a large number of letters to sgents and friends asking for descriptive matter and information in regard to the Dumber of acres of orchard necessary to secure a fair living. While the condition of the financial market has been such as to prohibit any great amount of immigration, there seems to be every indica- tion that the people want to come and settle in this vdlley and will do so 85 s00n as their busi- ness affairs can be closed up in the East. During the past few months many transfers have been made in real estate, and many fam- ilies have located in this county. Allthe real estate dealers report many inquiries from Eastern parties for orchard homes, and a great many sales are reported. San Franciscan and outside capital is seeking investment, and the subdividing of the large ranches has done much to increase the valuation of Santa Clara County property. - The forming of a syndicate to fake the water from the Coyote Creek in the vicinity of Morgan Hill for irrigating purposes has done much to create 8 demand for property in that section of the county. The Holland colony, which settled in San Joaquin County several vears ago, and which is composed of highly educated and refined people, is rapidly locat- ing here. It is composed of people of means, and they are purchasing fine properties here. Agents in Holland are recommending this county to prospective immigrants, and they are steadily coming here with the means to purchase desirable homes. THE SAN JOSE WHEELMEN.

Sept. 8.—A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of James E. Doo- little, the well-known insurance and real estate agent, this afternoon on a charge of embezzlement. Mr. Doolittle left on last night’s north-bound train for parts un- known. The complaint was sworn to by 8. V. Duboise of the Sun Insurance Company of which Doolittle was the local agent. Doo- little is charged with embezzling $350 from the company, and it is thought that more Peculations -the highws shortages will be found upon further inves- tigation. About a week ago Dubois came down from San Francisco and he and Doolittle went over the latter’s accounts together. The shortage of $350 was found, and Doo- little then frankly admitted that he had the money. He said that times had been 5o bard that he had to use the money. Doolittle {;mmised to make a settlement, however, by the latter part of this month. Dubois and Doolittle had arranged to meet to-day in regard to the matter. Du- bois was inclined to be lenient with the local azent and not prosecute him if he would settle the deficit. Dubois this forenoon received a note from Doolittle through the mail stating that he bad gone to San Francisco and would be back in a few days. Dubois suspicions were aroused and he proceeded to investigate, It was learned that Doo- little had been inquiring at the depot for pnssenger rates to the East, but had aiter- wards bought a ticket for San Francisco. Dubois became satisfied that Doolittle had decamped and went before Justice St. John and swore out the warrant. Sheriff Scott has been sending telegrams this evening throughout the northern portion of the State to intercept Doolittle. e NEWS OF MARE ISLAND.

Disastrous Consequences That Would Attend the Success of the Actlon. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 8.—John Ma- laney, an old and respected citizen of Ocean Park, Tillamook county, is the defendant in a curious divorce suit. E. Ann Malaney is the plaintiff. Eighteen years ago the two were living together as man and wife, which they were at that time, on a piece of Government land then supposed to be worthless, but now known as Ocean Park. They had trouble on various occasions, and in 1877 Mrs. Malaney took most of the children and, so Malaney says, all of his money and part of his household goods and skioped. Four years later Malaney applied for a divorce and the usual advertisement was put in the nearest paper at the time, and old Judge R. P. Boise granted a decree of divorce. All this time Malaney had not heard from his former spouse. A few vears ago he married again, and now bas achild by the last marriage. Now he is sur- prised to fina wife No. 1 filing a suit against him to have the divorse set aside, after eighteen years of separation, and de- manding a share of his property and $300 a year to support her during her life.

MEDALS FOR THE SCORES, Talifornia’s Militiamen Begin Their Annual Competi- tions To-Day. Gold, Silver and Bronze Decora- tlons to Be Awarded to the Guardsmen. The September State shoot by the National Guardsmen of California, for dec- orations awarded by the State Military De- partment, will be inaugurated to-day at the ranges in nearly every city and town at which companies or troops are sta- ioned. In this City the rifle and revolver firing will be started Ruspiciously by the First Infantry and Troop A of the cavalry squadron. Colonel Bush’s regiment will visit the ranges at Shell Mound on the Berkeley shore for the annual practice, and Sime's troopers will proceed to the Pre- sidio and there try their target-breaking ability with the revolvers of the service. During the entire month of September the competitions will be continued on seasonable occasions until every company n the State has registered the results of its practice, These results will then be added to the scores made by the com- games in similar competitions held last une, and upon the merit of the combined totals the award of prizes will depend. In cases where guardsmen have not won de- corations before, the State will award a circiar bronze badge on_which is a bear’s head in high relief, and from which is suspended a bronze bar with the wearer’s rank among riflemen indicated by the words “sharpshooter,”” ‘“rifleman” or “‘marksman’ upon its face. ‘The marks- man’s bar is of bronze, and is given to men who score more than thirty and less than forty points in each competition. The rifleman receives a silver bar and entrance into that class is secured by a score of over forty and less than forty-five. Guardsmen who register over forty-five in each competition are honored with a bar of gold, and are classified assharpshooters. The sharpshooters are not very numer- ous, but their number is increasing. A few years ago only two men in California captured gold bars, but now these decora- tions are annually won by about a dozen citizen soldiers, An order which has just been issued from Second Brigade headquarters upon the subject recites that the parades for rifle practice shall be by regiments, except- ing Batterv B, Second Artillery; Company A, First Infantry; the Signal Corps and Troop A, These organizations are direct- ed to parade at the command of their respective commanders.

All the practice in this brigade will be under the supervision of Major Harry Hosmer, inspector of rifle practice, DR, HIRST SAYS FAREWELL, The Completion of His Four Years’ Term at the Simp- son Memorial Church. His Last Sermon Abounding In Bril- llant Rhetoric, Wise Counsel and Words of Regret. Rev. Dr. A. C. Hirst, who for the past | four years has been the well-beloved pastor of Simpson Memorial Church, preached yesterday his two farewell sermons. Both discourses, abounding in rhetorical bril- liance, wise words of counsel and ex- pressions of sincere regret because of the approaching separation from his flock. His sermon of the morning dwelt at length on the distinction between things as men conceive them and as Christ mughtthem and the necessity of taking with unquestioning faith whatever the Lord has decreed. In the evening he showed that without the light of Christ in the heart, nothin great could be jaccomplished; that Paul, becauge of his implicit faith, was triumph- ant over all his sufferings and trials. “Have in you,” said the speaker, ‘‘the love of Christ; it is the creator of beauti- ful things. Art itself is but the breaking down of the prison walls of a soul by the instrumentality of Cbristly love. Christi- anity—and the syllaple ‘Christ’ should be emphasized — has reshaped and_given impetus to the world’s progress. It per- meated all things. It has lifted woman higher than any previous religion or civili- zation. Christ was the first leader of men, the first divine teacher to introduce woman into his school and to allow her to become his disciple. With the love of Christ with- in him, man’s hopes are limited, his will is indomitable and ever-conquering, his work is ever-good.” At the close of the sermon the doctor said: “I would be glad to say everything to- night my heart would like to say. Iam convinced that my coming to this pulpit was in the providence of God. I do not believe it is often given to a pastor to serve a people more loyal and patient than has been given to me. “I think you will bear testimony with me that questions touching the civic life of this City have been touched on in this ulpit only in the divine light of thecross. ? n{\]ank God we have placed our minds and hearts together. I have coveted neither your gold nor silver in my work with you, but f have coveted your confi- dence, esteem and love. “I shall Joose many sacred friendships— many dear scenes, but it is right. Do not think I go away as one who is relieved of a burden. You know I do not. Finally, brethern, farewell. Be of one mind, of ood comfort, and full of the love of our gavior.” The doctor leaves the middle part of this month for Chicago to assume the duties of his new pastorate. THE RED BRANCH RIFLES The Knights and Many of Their Friends Picnic at Shell Mound. Games, Dancing and a Drill the New Company ‘the Order of the Day. by Every county in Ireland was represented at the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles’ vicnic at Shell Mound Park yesterday and everyone had a jolly good time. There was dancing in the big pavilion and dancing in the round pavilion on the mound of shells, while the boards of the little platform among the trees were kept hot with Irish jigs, reels and breakdowns. There were games, races and feats of strength and agility, performed with that hearty vigor that those of the Green Isle put into sports. Then there was a drill and inspection of the rifles, the new military company of the order that has taken the oath and entered the ranks of the State militia.

THE COLUMBIAN SCORES. Many German Riflemen Contest for Cash Prizes and Several Club Medals. The pride of local riflemen in their pro- ficiency with the rifle induces them to keep in practice and take a few shots at the target every time an opportunity pre- sents itself, although ihere may not be any special event upon the tapis. Yester- day was not a pleasant day for shobting, for the light was varying and the wind shifting. For all that nearly every shoot- ing stand at the Shell Mound range was occupied by military marksmen and shoot- ing clubs all day. > Early in the day Dr. L. 0. Rodeers of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club went out on the bay beach and, with a 22-caliber pistol, killed a sand-snipe at fully 100 yards, and this killing led many to say that he put a “hoodoo” on the range for the day. The doctor, however, regarded it as his mascot, as he went to the head of the list on the Blanding medal shoot. In the pistol contest for medals by the Columbia Club the following scores were made: Champion class—C. M. Daiss 92, S. Carr 36, F. 0. Young 85, L. Barrere 76. First class—A. B. Dorrell 90, Dr. L. O. Rodgers 85, F. Poulter 78, Second class—F. Demis 73, A, H. Kennedy 66, W. Unfred 53. Blanding medal, open to all comers—Dr. L. 0. Rodgers 94, F. 0. Young 91, 8. Carr 91, J. E. Gorman 90, L, Barrere 81. Rifle, champion class—F. O. Young 83, D. N. MeLanghlin 82, Dr. Leo Rodgers 78, L. Bar- Class—A. B. Dorreil 71, Phil Bohn 72, A. Gehret 81. Kubinle medal—F. 0. Young 86, D. N.Me- Laughlin 85, Dr. L. Rodgers 84, A.Gehret 84. The Germania Schuetzen Club’s monthly bullseye shoot brought a large number of the- hair-trigger marksmen, who shot all day, hardly stopping long enough for lunch, with these resuits: & Champion class medal, Dr. L. 0. Rodgers, 485 rings; first class medal, Hermann Huber, 425 rings; second class, not won; third class, N. Ahrens, 433 rings; fourth class, H, Burfeind, 395 rings. The possible was 500. The results of the July and August monthly shoots had never been determined, owing to the measuring machine becoming out of order. Yesterday the bullseyes were measured, showing these winners: July—1st,Dr. L. O. Rodgers; 2d, N. Ahrens; 3d, J. E." Klei) 4th, H. Burfiend; 5th, Charles Thierbach; 6th, D. B. Faktor; 7th, J.

The marksmen did not turn out in great numbers at Schuetzen Park yesterday. The monthly medal shoot had been post- poned from the 1st inst. because of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein festival at Shell Mound Park, and in consequence many of the members had other engage- ments which they would not break. A number of the crack shots went with the Native Sons to Sacramento, while others took a day off and read the account of the iacg between the Defender and the Val- yrie. The Holy Cross Cadets, 500 strong, will take possession of Schuetzen Park to-mor- row, and the Naval Battalion will hold down the various ranges. It will be the annual target practice, in which all the members must participate. Unfortunately tne date fixed falls on Admission day, and the men are grumbling. They say the Governor will not allow them to shoot on a Sunday, but he will fix the date fora hol- iday just when they are expecting to have a little fun. The majority of the battalion were in San Rafael yesterday as the guests of the National Guard boys. Among some of the good scores made i{.sberday was that of Captain F. Ottinger. is three trial shots were 25, 23, 25—73. John Utschig shot a match for a dinner against his brother Adolph and Robert Langer. John Utschig made the splendid score of 437 out of a possible 500 and won the match. F. Schuester’s gun was disabled on his second shot, and he had to borrow another and use new cartridges in order to finish his score. His average was in consequence very low, and he gave upin disgust and adjourned to the bowling-alley. ‘The championship in the second class was finally won by A.Mocker. He has been holding his own againsi all comers for the last two years, and now he will have to compete in the first class with sueh men as F. P. Schuester, Albert Ehrenpiort and D. B. Faktor. The contests for the cham- pionship in this class are sure to produce some remarkable shooting during the com- in'% year. he results of the California Schuetzen Club contests yesterday were as follows: Champion class—D. W. McLaughlin 426, The medal in the first class was not won, D. B. Faktor shot with very poor luck and several times he lost a number of points by people laughing and joking behind him just as he was about to fire. He came within one point of winning the medal. The second class medal was won by A. Mocker, with a score of 416, and the third class was not won as the top score was only 855, made by Charles Sagehorn, whereas it took 360 to win, The fourth class medal was won by T. Aker, with a score of 340. The first best shot of the day was made by E. Brunotte and the last best shot by D. W. McGlaughlin. a few members of Company D of the Fifth Infantry. N. G. C., and the Naval Battalion put in an appearance. Those who did show up made the following scores: Company D—Robinson 47, Dawson 45, Ja- cobs 43, A;eggrnda. Elflon&l;nevenpun 39, Butterwo, , Boyen . Naval nmllon,yl-‘im Division—Harris 41, Douglas 27, Kearney 40. The boys expect to make some excellent scores to-day. s DIE ON THE WING. Bees Are Short Lived and Work Till Death. Every year may be seen in papers of considerable pretension to scientific ac- curacy statements about various flowers poisoning bees, the only reason for the statement being that the bees are found dead in considerable number beneath the trees. It does not seem to be generally known that the life of a bee is extremely short. Nearly every bee that leaves the hive in spring is dead before fall, and those which live over the fall aie very soon after the spring opens. The death of a bee is usually very sudden—they have been known to fall even in their flight, and to be dead in a few seconds after leaving the round. This fact about the life of the bee is supposed to be generally known, yet the fact lLat the statement above quoted is so often referred to in intelligent works shows that the knowledge is not as Widely spread as it deserves to be.—Meehan’s onthly. IN THE HANDBALL COURTS, A Number of Interesting and Closely Contested Games Played. Great Interest Taken In the Final Rub of the Bonnet-Kilgallon Match. The handball courts were well patron- ized yesterday, and a number of exciting games were played. At the S8an Francisco court Al Collins and L. Kenny of the Oc- cidental court played two matches and easily defeated their opponents. They are both young players, but are as fine a team of amateurs as could be found anywhere. Jones, the Australian champion, was sick and his match with Harlow and Lawless had to be postponed. At the Occidental court the event of the day was a match between T. F. Bonnet and Al Collins and Ed Maloney and L. Kenny. It was closely con- tested from start to finish, being won by Bonnet and Collins. Next W ednes- day night the final rub in the series be- tween Bonnet and Kitgallon will be de- cided. Bonnet has three games to his credit and Kilzallon one, butas the latter has been doing some hard training an ex- cellent finish may be expected.
