THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1895. LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, The Failure of a Big Debate Was the the Fault of Aaron Bretz. CRUEL DEATH OF A CHILD. An Ex-Striker Seatenced to Three Years at San Quentin for Horse-Stealing. OARLAND OFFICE SA 1500 CALL,} 408 Broa y. Sept. 30. The Henry Clay Debating Society has been heard from at last. This evening the J a circular letter ex- t bappened that Colonel nd Hon. Thomas V. Cator Oakland last Thursday evening 1d a closed and dark tabernacle ixious crowd on the outside wait- and f and an ing to hear the debate between the advo- cates of gold and silver. It is stated that everything was going <m till the advent into the negotia- tions of A. A. Bretz of Alameda. Mr. Bretz announced himself as the agent of Mr. ¢ for great debate. He sent notices to the new. pers, he circulated handbills, | he was instrumental in bringing the orators over here, but—he forgot all about the ball. The “‘explanation’ concludes: “By such designing movements the so- ciety knew little more than the disap- pointed assemblage who met to listen to the debate on September 26. ppointment thought- d we might say cheerfully, for have ise from Mr. Bretz that he he affair on the 11th of Oc- bat there will be no mistakes?’ ce is that this time he standsalone aistakes and not drag a prospering society down with his errors.” MAYOR DAYVI D HIS BIKE. He Joins the Crowd, Blowing a Horn and Ringing a Bell. Mayor Davie took out his wheel to-night. It has been locked up since the ordinance went into effect requiring ry one to blowa horn or ring a bell. Mavor Davie or und dictated the arrangements | of the bridge. Only the feet were visible, the head heing apparently beld down in the mud by a weighi. The Coroner pro- cured a boat and brought the remains | to shore. It was discovered that a brick had been tied about the neck of the little thing, which was wrapped up in anold illow-case. No clothing was on the child, ut there was a bruise on the head, where it is supposed the body struck the mud. There was no evidence that might lead to the discovery of the guilty parties. It ‘was clear that the body had been thrown into the estuary at high water and the receding tide had left it exposed. Oakland Theaters. Pauline Hall opened a three nights’ eu- gagement at the Macdonough to-night with *‘Dorcas,” to a crowded house. Wednesday evening will be “bloomer’” night. All the bicycie clubs have called a theater run for that night and the event will certainly be a povel show, even for Oakland. May Nannary appeared before a crowded | house last night at t::e Oakland, attired in | the latest dress. Her entrance in the first act of “*Arabian Nights,”” to whistle and bell accompaniment was the signal for vociferous applause that lasted “several minutes. The costume was a neat com- | bination of blue and white and lent | abandon to a well played comedy charac- | ter. Aged, but Unreformed. John Kearns, an old man, with bent form and wrinkled face, stood before Judge Frick and pleaded for mer%y. “T'am guilty, your Honor.” said Kearns, “and I can only ask for mercy. Perhaps my fate matters but little, as I am an uld man, but I am not quite tired of life. 1 have lived sixty-five years. I know there is a prior conviction against me, but it was for stealing a bit of rubbish, and that was long ago." 2 Kearns was charged with entering a | Catholic church and stealing a valise. Just what effect his plea will have will be learned when he appears for sentence to- mOrrow. To Help Ireland. A number of friends of the Irish cause met at 856 Broadway Saturday and or- ganized the Irish-American Patriotic League. M. C. Brennan was elected presi- dentand P. Murphy secretary. The object of the society is the advancement of Irish people and the independence of Ireland, which is to be worked for on the plans of the Chicago convention, For the better accomplishment of these purposes a Jadies’ aid society will be affiliated with the or- | ganization. A Guilty Lottery-Dealer. Adolph Heine, the man who wheels around town in a chair, was convicted in the Police Court to-day of selling lottery tickets. ¥He is the first white man to be convicted for a long time, and when arraigned last week he waived a jury | trial. To-day be wanted to withdraw his £FTER TEREE DAYS’ SELF-DENIAL MAYOR DAVIE MOUNTED KIS FAITHFUL BIKE LS. NIGHT PABA v¥ TOOTEES. . [Sketched by a ANO BRAVED THE BROADWAY “Call’” artist.] has signified his intention to have that or- | dinance repealed, as he is a great rider | himself, but he does not believe in being a “mountebank,” to use his own .lan- guage. | But Chief of Police Lloyd is obdurate, | and gave orders that every citizen must obey the ordinance or be transported to the City Hall. Mayor Davie is, of course, the *‘first citizen” of Oak zen, notwithstanding, and amenable to | the ordinance. Chief Lloyd does not owe | his election to Mayor Davie and would not | be likely to spare his Hcnor. So the Mayor locked up his wheel and has done some tall walking during the past three | days. This evening the Mayor could resist no ‘ louger. He refrained from joining the | parades that have been organized during | the past week although his heart was with them. He took out his wheel and started for | his home from the City Hall. Tothe sur- prise of everybody he rang his bell loud | enough to be heara a block away, and when he dropped the tongue of his bell he astonished everybody still more by produc- | ing a horn and blowing it as the ordinance demands, “loud and continuously.”” “Idon’t like the ordinance a little bit,” | said the Mayor to-night, “but so long as it is a law I will respect it.” A STRIKER and, but a citi- NTENCED. ! Edward Wickham Sent to San Quentin for Three Years. Edward Wickham, was convicted of stealing a horse and buggy, was sentenced | to-day to three years imprironment in San | Quentin, z The prisoner hiréd a rig presumably to g0 to'Haywards, but did not return it and was subsequently arrested at Hanford. ‘When the A. R. U. strike occurred last ear Wicknam went out with the strikers, He was elected assistant secretary of the strike committee at West Oakland. Later he gave such _evidence before the United States Grand Jury that his fellow-strikers suspected him ~ of turning informer, President Roberts of the A. R.U. says that Wickbam had in his possession the only complete list of strikers, and that as the railroad company has such a list the infer- ence is that Wickham furnished it. Wickham believes that be will escape the serving of his term. His attorney received a_ certificate of probable cause. The cause is that no information was filed against him until sixty days aiter he was held to answer, owing to oversight in the Distriet Attorney’s office. The statute provides that an information must be filed within thirty days after the defendant is held, MURDER OF AN INFANT. Evidence of an Inhuman Act Found in the Estuary. A pretty little girl baby that had proba- bly not lived more than a day was found in the estuary this morning. As Frank Borge was walking across the Eighth-street bridge he noticed the body of an infant in the water on the north side waiver, but Justice Wood held that it was too late and found him Fuilty. Heine would not deny that he sold a ticket, but said he took no mouey for it. He will be sentenced Thursday. Round the World for Pleasure. W. T. Hamiiton, ex-€oroner of Alameda County, leaves to-morrcw for a tour of the world with his wife aud daughter. He expects to be absent two years and has no other object in view than that of sight- seeing. HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters.

FIRE CHIEF STILL IN DOUBT. Commissioner Feirsol Is Held to Be Answerable to Two Partles. OARLAND OFricE SAN Francisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 30. } It was given out to-day that George Kaufman, secretary of the Board of Works, is slated to go and will probably be re- moved at to-morrow’s meeting. His suc- cessoris said to be a relative of Commis- sioner Wilson, named Miller. If this ap- pointment is made by Wilson it narrows down the circumstances and also the un- certainty regarding the appointment of Chief of the Fire Department, which will without doubt be an appointee of Peirsol’s, Mayor Davie still constituting a minority of one. This being the case the new Chief will probably be a Populist, but Peirsol has not yet given out who will be the lucky man, “We have had the matter of Fire Chief under consideration for a long time,’ said Mr. Peirsol to-day, “butwe haye not de- cided yet as to what we shall do. 1 cer- tainly owe nothing to any party, as I was nominated by the Populists and indorsed by the Republicans. All this talk about taking me to task for not obeying the be- hests of the Republican city committee” is nonsense. About three months ago I was invited to meet the heads'of the Populist party, and was scored for not standing in with Mayor Davie. I told them, as I told the Republicans, that 1 was not taking dictation from anybody.” The opinion is prevalent now that the recent call to the Commissioners bf Sec- retary Bishol)g to answer for their political sins to the Republican committee was an authorized one, and that after Bishop had published the facts in his paver the com- mittee backed down. However the affair originated it has destroyed whatever chance Camphell or Toohy had of succeed- ing Chief Lawton, and aiter the new ordi- | nance regulating the Fire Department heads shall have been passed it will prob- ably be found that Fred A. Murdoch has secured the prize. “I am not bothered with the distribution of patronage,” said the Mayor, “and it saves me n?ot of trouble. I can now have time to attend to the business of the city. Many of the recent changes are not for the best, but Wilson and Peirsol can safely be left to arrange for their own political funeral.” ‘When Mavor Davie took office he had the words **Walk In’’ printed in large let- ters on his ante-room door. It was a novelty to be able to find the Mayor and a much greater novelty to be invited into his sanctuary, and hundreds of place-seek- ers took advantage of the invitation. Al that is changed now. The Mayor’s office is deserted and the “walk in” sign will menbl be transferred to the offices of Mr. Wilson or Mr. Peirsol, as the Mayor says he has now no use for it. LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Additions to the University Football Team Go Into Training. Thieves at Work In the Gymnasium. Professor Barnard to Deliver a Lecture. BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 30 —The quota of football men now in practice at the Uni- versity of California had to-day three valu- able additions in the way of heavy-weights who are built for the center or guard. They are Foltz, U. C., '04, and Deahl and Wallthall, from the law department. Foltz, it will be remembered, was sub- center to Archie Pierce in 94, and would doubtless have taken that place on the 'varsity eleven had Pierce been tnable to play. Deahl, who weighs in at 190 pounds, will try for guard, and is said to be a very promising man, having had some previous experience on the gridiron. Wallthal tips the balances at 200 pounds and will try for center first ard then prac- tice for guard if not found suitable to the requirements of center. Plunkett, '94’s big guard, and Wilson, right end, appeared for ractice this after- noon for the tirst time during the season. They expect to be out regularly from now on. Thus far only rudimentary work, such as kicking, starting and falling on the ball, has been ordered by Coach Butterworth, but it is understood that the team will line up for the first time on Thursday and Friday. A practice game between a team to be picked from Berkeley’s forty-five players and the Reliance eleven will take place on the University of California grounds next Saturday afternoon, in which short, prob- ably ten-minute, halves will be played, Pacific Coast Championships. Thus far no entries have been made under the U. C. colors for the Pacific Coast championships, which are to be held next Baturday, the 6th inst., on the Berkeley oval. This seems to be due to the fact that so many of the university athletes are not in training, and to enter ouly a small part of a team would mean an almost certain defeat. In consequence, those who have signified their gurpose of coming out will do so under the colors of other athletic clubs. Dorn will appear with the Olym- ics! and Edgren and Hilborn with the Y{eliance men. Torrey and Chick, the two remaining men who are in training, have not as yet decided whether they will enter. The entries will be open until Thursday, and during the intervening time some more U. C. men may file their blanks, but the present conditions point to the oppo- site. Sophomores Will Give a Hop. The sophomores held a meeting this afternoon and decided to hold theirannual arty on the evening of Friday, October 55, in Harmon gymnnsxum. F. W. Grim- wood of Fruitvale was elected floor man- ager of the hop and Everett J. Brown track captain of the class for the ensuing term. Jpon the recommendation of the com- mittee on ways and means it was decided to give a farce at some date in the near fu- ture as a means of raising money to pay off the debt now standing against the class. Thieves in the Gymnasium. Petty sneak thieves are again at work in the university gymnasium. Every year the same trouble arises, and students lose property of all kinds, from towels to gold watches, without the least claw to the offenders. On last Saturday a member of the class of '08 lost an entire suit of clothes, even his hat and shoes, and thismornin, & gold watch was taken from the locker o’ a 99 man. Mr. Magee, the physical director, is very indignant over the matter, and has sug- gested that those taking gymnasium worE. of which there are 630, provide for & num- ber of special locgers for the safe-keepin: of their valuables, to be taken charge of by a reliable ma Bogus Coin Circulating. The railroad ticket-sellers and some of the-merchants of Berkeley have been vic- timized within the past few days by per- sons. gusing counterfeit money.. A" trick which one of the “shoversof the queer” has been trying to play is to wait until the local train is about to leave the station and then hurry for his tickets, leaving in payment the spurious coin. Lecture by Professor Barnard. Professor Barnard of the Lick Observa- tory will lecture on astronomy at Shattuck ball next Friday evening, under the aus- pices of the University Science Associa- tion, for the benefit of the Holmes free library. This will be Professor Barnard's last lecture before his departure for the University of Chicago. «Josh’* Did Not Appear. On account of an unavoidable delay, Josh did not_come out io-day, its regular date for publication, but Manager Rob- bins says it will appear to-morrow morn- ing. It promises to eclipse the first edi- tion, and will be sold for 10 cents, instead of 15, as before. 2 For New Scheols. The Board of Education and a commit- tee on sites and schoolhouses held 2 joint session to-night and prepared a report to be made to the Board of Town Trustees at their next meeting. FOR "BUNKO-STEERING.” Chris Weidenbach Proves Himself a Sprinter Before His Arrest. Chris Weidenbach oi Paso Robles met Edward Johnson, a bunko man, on Kearny street yesterday morning. Chris was look- ing for the General Postoffice, and John- son took him there. Then Johnson sug- gested they should take a trip to Golden Gate Park. They took a California-street car, and on reaching the terminus John- son took Chris into the Odd Fellows’ Cem- etery, where they were immediately joined by two other men. Johnson and the two other men started plnyins cards, and they asked Chris to take a hand. He refused, when Johnson re- marked that he supposed he would not play because he had no money. This an- gered Chris, and he pulled szgo out of his ocket. Johnson grabbed it and ran. ghris pursued bim, and two of the labor- ers in the cemetery joiued in the chase. They overtook Johnson, who gave Chris his §200, but they held on to him and tele- phoned to the Uentral police station for the 8atrol-wagon. Johnson was taken to the City Prison and booked on the charge of grand larceny. —_— T0 HELP BULLD ¥ OME Opening of the Old People’s Home Association Bazaar. Thomas Pearson, In a Speech of Welcome, Clearly Outlines Its ObJect. OARLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 30. Aucxiliary No. 1 of the Old People's Home Association opened a grand bazaar to-night at their church, on Fifteenth street, which will 1ast a week. The church is beautifully decorated and the booths are well supplied. The object of the bazaar is to provide funds for the completion of the home at Beulah. Thomas Pearson was master of ceremonies and he welcomed the guests in the follow- ing speech: Ladies and Gentlemen: On behelf of Auxili- ary No. 1 of the Old People’s Home Association, Iextend to you amost cordial welcome and take oceasion to express the sincere hope that you will throughout the entire week gladden ihe earnest hearts of its untiring members with the sunshine of your presence. Youare all aware of their purpose. The ladies are striy- ing to build & home for the aged and infirm of our race, and have made admirable progress in that direction. Their effort hes met with the approvel of all well-thinking and truly Christian-hearted people to whom it has been made known. The press of both Oakland and San Francisco bas been most generous in its aid of the worthy cause. By a close inspection of the ar- ticles ;which the auxiliary has for disposal each being labeled with the name 2 :d business address of its donor, the fact will be revealed to your mind that'the business men of Oak- land responded handsomely to charity’s solici- tation. The association has in bank nearly $1000. The building site has been donated by the S vation Army philanthropist, George Mont- gomery, and his amiable wife. The proposed building will cost $2500, and the amount nec- essary to crown their efforts with success is $1500, and {tis to be earnestly hoged by all interested in the work that this bazaar will Pprove to be a grand financial success. Every week or two we read in the columns of our daily papers an account of a magnificent bequest to some charitable institution. But, unfortunately, owing to unfavorable condi- tions which exist, the ased snd infirm of our race are not permitted to share, in common with others, the benefits accruing from such philanthropic gifts. Yet from the dark back- round of a Elcomg past we are looking hoj tully forward to a brighter and more congenial uture. CANNOT STOP THE FARES, The Seventh-Street Ordinance Is Held to Be Inopera-~ tive. Persons With a Grlevance Must Seek Redress Under the State Law.\ OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrRANCISCO CA'LL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 30. The ordinance prohibiting the railroad from collecting fares cannot be enforced and is only a piece of useless legislation. 8o said the City Attorney to-day. For several weeks the Mayor has been beset with inquiries regarding the non- enforcement of the ordinance prohibiting the railroad from collecting fares on the Beventh-street local trains, and he has in- variably replied that he was not certain of its constitutionality. Chief Lloyd has re- frained from acting upon it for the same reason. Now it has been decided that the ordinance is inoperative and cannot be enforced. “When the ordinance was passed,” says the City Attorney, in his opinion rendered to-day, “I informed the Council thatt could not be enforced, for the reason that the State law covers the point and renders local legislation superfluous. If any one has a grievance against the railroad they must seek redress in the courts under the State law. A case based on the city ordi- nance would not lie.” There have been several cases lately of people going aboard the trains and refus- ing to pay the fare, but the trainmen have not secured anybody’s arrest for so deing. ‘While the ordinance is in force it is not likely that a policeman would arrest a citi- zen for obeying it. A few weeks ago Mayer Davie heard a gateman arguing with a pnusengr regarding the payment of fare, and his Honor ordered the passenger to poard the train and dared the trainhand to make an effort to stop him. There are several cases now pending against the railroad of passengers wanting damages for being required to pay fare, but they bave always been conducted with- out any show of resistance other than obeying the order of the gateman to buy a ticket before boarding the train. ——————— Superintendent Weaver Indorsed. A number of missionaries among the in- mates of the various public and charitable re- formatory ipstitutions have issued a statement denying the charges that have been made from time to time against Superintendent Weaver of the Almshouse, and indorsing the manage- ment of that office. A letter from the assistant rofessor of social seience at the Stanford Uni- versity, aftesting the uniform courtesy of the superintendent and his wife, is made & portion of the document. —————— From the thirteenth to_the seventeenth century a blue coat in England was the . sign of a servant. Z LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA Perata Bros. File an Answer to the City’s Suit Against Them. They Estimate That the Damage to Thelr Adjoining Property Will Be $8000. ALAMEDA, CaAL., Sept. 3.—An answer was filed to-day to the suit brought against Perata Brothers. by the city of Alameda on the opening and ex- tension of Buena Vista avenue. The de- fendants were offered $2150 for the land to be used for the improvemant, on which was placed by the Commissioners a valua- tion of $3000 an acre, but the offer was re- fused. The plaintiff then instituted a con- demnation suit. The defendants in their answer assert their willingness that their land be used for street purposes, but want 6000 paid for the privilege. Perata Brothers have a crop of vegetables on the land, which they claim would he destroyed, the value of which is placed at $500. Damage to ad- joining property is placed at $1500, and the value of the land is placed at $4000, mak- ing a total of $6000. ~ 7 :The Guypole Snapped. The guypole to the electric-light mast in front of Nold Brothers’ market at West ¥nd snapped close to the ground this afternoon and for a time it looked as though the massive iron tower would fall upon the adjoining building. There was no wind blowing, however, and the elec- trician immediately set a force of men at work and a new pole wasput in. The poles, which are fourteen feet long and ten inches in diameter, require renewing every two years, and the one which broke to-day had "been tested just recently and ap- peared to be sgound, The electrician thinEa that lights sussfinded at the intersection of streets would be more satisfactory than towers. Arrosted for Shooting Rail. Two San_Francisco sportsmen, Henry Jones and William Johnson, were arrested yesterday by Constable Day on the marsh near Buy Farm Island for shooting rail. They deposited $25 bail each with Justice Morris and their cases were to have been heard at 10 o’clock this morning, but as they did not appear their bail was for- feited. They have since engaged the ser- vices of an attorney and filed a demurrer, which sets forth that the complaint di not state facts sufficient for & cause of ac- tion, and further claim that the statute is unconstitutional. The Justice has taken the demurrer under advisement. Injared by a Bieyclist. A young daughter of Captain Anderson of Bay Farm Island was seriously injured recently through the carelessness of a fe- male bicyclist. The girl was walk- ing along Santa Clara avenue, near Oak street, when the bicyclist, losing control of her wheel, ran upon the sidewalk, knock- ing Miss Andersou down and falling her- sefi. She then mounted her machine and rode off without inquiring whether she had hurt the little girl. Miss Anderson is now suffering severely as a result of the collision. Coast nn: Geodetic Survey. A surveying party, under the direction of Fremont Morse of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, has been at work for some time in and around Ala- meds. The department will soon issue a new map of the bay and coast line. The party makes Alameda its headquarters. Encinal Yacht Club Cruise. Five yachts constituted the fleet of the Encinal Yacht Club on its craise to Point San Mateo Saturday. The mudbanks at Point S8an Mateo are well supplied with shellfish and the forty-six persons com- rising the party had a clambake. The Incinals will bave an “‘at home” at the boathouse Friday night. The New Depot Occupied. The old Park-street depot wastorn down this afternoon and placed upon flatcars. All trains now arrive and depart from the new depot. While a force of workmen were engaged in tearing down the old building a bundle of shingles struck one of the men in the back of the neck, but for- tunately no great harm was done. B e — Struck His Father. 8. 8. Kelly, laborer, living at 417 Natoma street, was taken to the Receiving Hospital last night to have a long, deep wound in his scalp dressed. He says that he and his son quarreled about the latter not giving his mother money for his board. The son receives $17 per week and only gave his mother 50 cents. The uarrel ended in the son hituing his father on e head with a pick handle. A warrant will be sworn out this morning for theson’s arrest. —————— Fire on Capp Street. A fire early yesterday morning caused dam- age to the extent of $150 in the three-story frame building at45 Capp street, owned by J. E. Messenger and occupied by Mrs. J. F. Horn. The origin of the blaze is unknow THE STOOK MARKET. Although there was little change in prices yester- day the general tone was firm, and the Gold Hill stocks were 10c or 80 better than at the close of Saturday. Tradlng was not very brisk. Potos! sold up to 73c, Chollar to 60c, Challenge to 7lc, and Confl- dence 1032 10. The close was rather easy. Sugar stocks were firm on the Stock and Bond Ex- change. Hutchinsou rose to $13@13 123, and ‘Hawailan was strong at $7 bid. NoTms. Alpha Con 1s assessed 10c. The Pacific Lighting Company will pay a monthly dividend ot 10 cents per share on October 5. The Capital Gas Company of Sacramento will pay a quarterly dividend of $1 per share, and the Sather Banking Company one of $1 60 perfshare to-day.

Superintendent Hogg states that the tunnel is ranning as nsual and that I¢ will continue t0 run rieht alonz. There are four men working in the tunmel at present, and two or three who have been visiting the fair and other piaces will £0 to work upon thelr return.
