22 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1895. rthi i i B S —————————————— e LATEST OAKLAND HEWS, Diseased Meat Seized While on the Way to San Francisco. SNOOK FAVORS AN APPEAL He Thinks the Declslon of Judge Ellsworth Should Not Be Sustalned. OAKIAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL‘} 908 Broadway, Oct. 5. At an early hour this morning Market Inspector Pierce arrested Mike Gormley and F. H. Christen, on the charge of bring- ing diseased meat into the city for the market. A few weeks ago a butcher doing business in the free market was arrested and convicted for exposing impure meat for sale. The inspector instituted a search and was rewarded last night by learning that some men had applied for permission to slaughter three cows on the rope wharf at Melrore. The permission was denied, and the cattle were driven out Fruitvale avenue to a place kept by a Mrs. Stevens, just outside the city limits, on the old county road. The men killed the cows in the yard in front of the house, and when the neigh- bors objected the men said that they had been given permission to kill the animals. About 10 o’clock last night the market in- spector and a Deputy Sheriff arrived on the scene and waited for developments. fhe men had gone, but the beeves were hanging up in the shed. Just at daybreak this morning the butchers came after the beef, cut it up and loaded it on a wagon. When they drove off they were followed by the inspector and the deputy. At Second and Broadway, going to San Francisco, they were arrested. Both men pleaded not guilty and their cases were continued till Tuesday. Gorm- ley has been convicted once beforeon a charge of exposing diseased meat for sale. | The Levy Fixed. The City Council met to-nightand finally asted the ordinance fixing the tax levy at 118 Councilman Manuel read a long age asa reply to the message of the r Thursday night. He held it im- possible to carry on the city government on the $1 levy proposed by the Mayor, and held a heated controversy with Councilman Bassett, but like all the heated discussions that have taken place since the levy was taken up, it ended in nothing. The final passage was carried by the same vote-that has carried everything since Watkinson left the fold. The Mayor will veto the ordinance, and as it cannot be passed over Lis veto for lack of one vote, the dollar limit will eventually have | to be aahered to by the Councfl. J. West Martin, president ¢f the Union Ravings Bank, made a speech upholding the Mayor's position, but this was met by a statement from Towle that as the banks held nearly $10,000,000 of mortgages within the city upon which they have to pay taxes the opinion of a banker should not possess much weight. John R. Glascock, an ex-Mayor, also made a speech supporting Davie, but sxgument availed nothing, and the §1 18 was fixed. The Mayor has ten days to act, but he will probably veto it as soon as he gets it. Native Daughters. At a meeting of Athens Parlor held last | night the question of forming a Native | Daughters’ Parlor and a petition for help | were discussed. Asa result the following | resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, We believe that the establishment of a parlor of the Native Daughters in our city would be of great mutual benefit to the Native EBons and Native Daughters of the Golden West; therefore be it Resolved, That Athens Parlor No. 195, N. S. G. W, does hereby tender to the nati orn soung Iadies of Oakland its aid and assistance | n the formation and institution of & parlor of the Native Daughters of the Goiden West; and further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be jorwarded to the worthy grand president of the order of N. D. G. W. Oakland Theaters. TLe Stockwell-Coghlan company of players opens at the Macdonough Monday night next for an engagement of two nights, producing ““The Magistrate” both even- ings. This play has scored a great success at the Columbia, and will no doubt do a good business here. It is one of the cleanest and most laughable comedies seen here this season. Popular prices wiil pre- vail. Henry F. Dixey will be seen here on October 14 for one night onlf' in a varied entertainment of vaudeville and mono- logue. May Nannary and her company com- mence their fifth week on Monday. A donble comeay bill, in one of which Miss | Nannary appears in bloomers, has been heartily received and will give way Mon- | day to “The Fire Patrol.” a sensational | comedy-drama, in which a practical quartz- | mill, patrol-wagon, trained horses and a number of realistic effects are introduced. In Favor of Dalton. Judge Ellsworth rendered a decision last night that the Supervisors had not been granted a legal extension of time when they met as a Board of Eaualization, and that their reduction of railroad corpora- tion property was therefore invalid. The District Attorney’s plea on behalf of the Supervisors was overruled on every point, and to-day he said he would advise an appeal. The State Board of Equalization granted extensions of time to fifteen countiesin the same manner as that which was al- lowed Alameda County. A decision of the Supreme Court would therefore nullify the action of the State Board with refer- ence to all these counties. Christian Alliance. A Christian Alliance convention will be held on Thursdey and Friday of next week in Asbury Methodist Church. The pro- gramme for the convention is as follows: Thursday—10 A.

More and Owen Lafferty. An Improper Complaint. George Doherty, who was charged with perjury, was on trial before Judge Frick yesterday. His attorney moved for a dis- missal on’ the ground that the c¢rime charged in the information of District At- torney Snook was not that charged in the commitment issued bf the Police Judge. Judge Frick carefully looked at the papers and admitted that the statement of the at- torney was correct and ordered the pris- | d Trustees—A. C. Henry, Louis Schaf- | oner discharged. Horsethieves at Work. Several complaints have recently been made to Sheriff White of the theft of borses. The latest complaint comes from Lorin. Lastnight Contractor Lambert and John Taylor werej robbed. Some men have been specially detailed by the Sheriff to run down the thieves. Altogether over a dozen horses have been stolen within a month. Bigamist Stuart. Cornelius Charles Edward Stuart, charged with mutilating the marriage records of Alameda County, is on trial be- fore Judge Frick. Stuart also confessed to being a bigamist, and he is also wanted later on for some infringement of law at Turlock. The evidence has already been published. The Second Labor Day.

Annual Pacific Coast Cham- pionship Field Day Is Held. | SOME RECORDS ARE BROKEN. | The First Football Game of the Season Passes Off Suc- cessfully. BERKELEY, Oct. 5.—The annual cham- pionship field day of the Pacific Athletic Association was held this afternoon on the Berkeley oval. The track was in excel- lent condition, but the starting and time were both siow. In some of the sprints, notably the 100 and 220, the honors were 80 closely contested that considerable enthusi- asm was created. The only records broken were in the shot- put and sixteen-pound hammer - throw. Wilbur of the Reliance Club broke the coast shot record of 39 feet 7 inches, held by himself, baving cast the leaden sphere 40 feet 114 inches. Edgren threw tha sixteen-ponnd hammer 132 feet, breaking his own record of 123 feet 10 inches. These will not be allowed according to | some athletic authorities on account of the distances having been measured with a cloth tape when a steel one should have been used. Lloyd, 99, did some remarkably good work in the pole vault and shot put, tak- ing second place in the former and third in the latter against crack men. Nearly balf the entries iisted did not ap- P at the call for their events. In the mile walk five men were entered and only one showed up. There could be no con- test in this, so Yates, the only man on hand, walked against the three mile coast record, finishing in 24:18%4, not_equaling the record, however, by about 45 seconds. Following is the list of events with the winners and records made: Track 100-yard dash—First heat, won by Gill, Olympic_Club; Bernhara, Stanford Uni- versity, second. Time, 10 3-5 sec.

The Ex-Rallroad Detectlve Says He Is a Victim of Con- spiracy. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadwav. October 5. | The story published in THE CALL of Fri- day regarding the charges being prepared by ex-Chief of Police Louis Schaffer partment, has brought to the surface much that has been smoldering for months, Trom all the circumstances now being discussed in official and political circles, it appears that the @arrest of Detective Kel- logg on a Grand Jury indictment, the trial of Michael Collins for shooting old Philip Boogar, the alleged misbehavior of Officer Banks and the employment of f. V. Her- bert, late claims adjuster of the Southern Pacific Company, as detective of the Dis- trict Attorney’s office, are all mixed up in a series of schemes. Nothing would probably have been heard | of them had not Kellogg been arrested, but now that the ex-railroad detective is | in the County Jail frequenters of Broad- way are busy with their tongues. fied themselves that he is the victim of a conspiracy. It is not quite clear just where the conspiracy originated, but it extends over the past two years and involves many peo{;]e. The arrested detective says that his im- prisonment is the result of work planned and carried out by Louis Schaffer, a man named ‘“‘Baby”’ O’Connell and H. V. Her- bert. The indictment of the Grand Jury was based on the fact that he wrote letters signed *‘Boston’’ to a man named Savage, whom he had arrested for pocket-picking at the pier. “All sorts of schemes and ruses been tried to trap me,” said Kellogg. less than four decoy letters were put under my door in one day last week to try to get me to ¢o to San Francisco and meet a man named Savage, an uncle of George Savage, and Ed Newlands has been repeatedly to see me to get me to go and meet Herbert and Pete Pumyea at the stables of the lat- ter or at some other point. I never went, not. because I was afraid of any personal injury, but I would not trust myself with them under any consideration. Keliogg has’ also another reason for thinking he is the victim of a plot. He says he was the first nian in the room after Collins, Mrs. Boogar's father, shot old Boogar. Keliogg made the arrest and turned Collins over to another officer. Kel- logg also says he heard what Collins said immediately after the shooting and also what the women said, bui he has not been asked by the prosecution either at tle pre- liminary examination or at the first trial when the jury disagreed.~ He says his tes- timony is valuable, and although he was frequently mentioned by the witnesses he Wwas not puton the stand. He intimates that he has some testimony to eive when his case comes to trial. The District Attorney says that so far as he knows there 18 no conspiracy to injure Kellogg, but says that County Detective Herbert did procure some of the witnesses. —_—— The greatest bell is that lon the giant of the Kremlin, in weight is 443,722 pounds, famous as oscow.

Leland Stanford Jr. Uulversity, University of Californa, Berke- First Football Game. Berkeley played her first football game | of the season this afternoon with a team from an opposing athietic club. A line-up was called with the Reliance eleven for 10-minuwe halves. The game was short, but full of snap from kick-off to finish. The ground was in the best of condition. The line-bucking on both sides was good, but numerous fumbles of the ball pre- vented rapid progress. Plunkett, Berkeley’s big gvard, got in some of his old-time work on the line, and Bert Oliver and Wilbur of the Reliances showed up in good form. Hopper of the U. C. second eleven made several excel- lent tackles. Ransoma and Hupp did not play in either half, wishing to save them- selves. Berkeley came within a few yards of scoring a touchdown in the first half and the Reliance men carried the ball over the line in the second. . The Reliance team was made up as fol- ows: Center, Hector; guards, Wilbur and Bert Oli- ver: tackles, A Oliver’ and Erskiner cou Sherrard and Wyckoff; backs, MeMillan and Walton; full, Lanyan; quarter, McPike; sub- half, Arlett; sub-quarter, Wilkes.

Various sanitariums and private hos- | pitals are using the “salt rub,” and it is becomirg so popular that some Turkish bath establishments are advertising it as a special attraction. It is just as good for well people as sick ones, is the most re- freshing of all the baths and rubs ever in- vented, only excepting a dip in the sea, and is matchless in its effect upon the skin and complexior.. With all these virtues it is the simplest, most easily managed of all | similar measures, and can be taken at home easily. Put a few pounds of coarse salt, the coarsest you can get—sea salt by preference—in an carthern jar, and pour enough water on it to prod,uce a sort of slush, but not enough to dissolve the salt. This should then be taken up in handfuls and rubbed over the entire person. Of course. it is better to have it rubbed on by another person, but any one in ordinary health can do it for herself or himself very satisfactorily. This being done, the next thing is a “thorough douching of clear water, preferably cold, and a brisk rubbing with a dry towel. The effect of elation, freshness, ‘and renewed life is felt imme- diately, and the satiny texture of the skin and increased clearness and brightness of the complexion swell the testimony in favor of the salt rub. e e.—— George Vanderbilt’s mountain home at Asheville, N. ., has_already cost, it is said, $4,000,000, and it will require the the | i ill row in out- | rigger skiffs for the club silver medal, and | a barge race between married men and | Dr. C. | 1 : .

THE RUPTURE OVER POLITICS. Difflculty Among Christians Arising From the Last Political Campalgn. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcIsco CALy, $08 Broadway, October 5. } Rev. R. F. Coyle, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, threw a bombshell into the ranks of the Christian Endeavorers of this city last night. Those who are aware of the facts consider it the sensation of the day in religious circles. The matter dates back to last fall, when E. A. Sherman Jr., a member of that church, who was at.the time president of the Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union, led the organization into the politi- cal arena. Dr. Coyle and a number of the more con- servative pastors of the city and county did not take kindly to the action and were | not slow in saying so. At the spring se: sion of the Oakland presbytery Dr. Coyle submitted a resolution reciting the acts of | the young people in a general way,and asking that a special committee be ap- pointed to look into their work and report vhat should he done to keep them within | bounds and under the control of the church and pastor. This committee reported at the fall meet- ing of the presbytery held at Newark on Admission day. “The report censurad the county union for going into affairs outside of its sphere, urged loyalty to the church and condemned all, movements which tended to draw the!young people awa from the object of the organization. l{[ closed with tion: Resolved, That the executive commitree of the Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union be requested (o make ministers in charge of churches ex-officio members of that committee. The county executive committee met September 30 to complete the revision of the constitution and in accordance with the request the proposed article was | offered. There was dissent at once, and | the opposition was led by E. A. Sherman Jr. | and W. M. Gardner, two members of Dr. Coyle’s own church. The measure was de- feated *by four votes, aithough many dele- | gates refused to vote either way. ~They were quite gleeful over their victory, say- ing ministers could not come in and tell them how to conduct the business of an organization which _they knew nothing of, especially as to its inner workings. At a meeting of his own society last evening Dr. Coyle introduced a resolu- tion reciting these facts and closing as follows: Resolved, That we, the Christian Endeavor Society of the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland. affirm our loyalty to the church and hereby withdraw our membership in said county union and refnse to send any further delegates to a_union that professes loyalty to the church and at the same time refuses admis- sion to God’s ministers, whose counsel and aid our society s0 much needs. We further recommend that all our Christian Endeavor societles connected with the hurches in this presbytery withdraw trom the Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union until the pastors are admltted. The corresponding secretary was in- structed to send copies of the resolution to all the churches in the presbytery. N DEFAULTIEG SECRETHR, Eight Thousand Dollars Miss- ing From a Cemetery Association. the following recommenda- | / Edward P. Outram, the Mountaln View Sccretary, Is Short In His Accounts. 0AKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} £08 Broadway, Oct. 6, Edward P. Outram, secretary of the Mountain View Cemetery Association, is said to be a defaulter in the sum of §8638 35. These figures were arrived at by the expert who was put to work on tne books when Mr. OQutram failed to return from his leave of absence granted on Sep- tember 19. Mr. Outram is supposed to be in British Columbia. His wife and two children are at the home on Franklin street and Mrs. Outram is entirely ignorant of her hus- band’s whereabouts, as the last place he wrote from was Portland, Or. Outram applied for leave of absence at the last regular monthly meeting of the board of directors and it was granted for | en d. He should have returned a | week ago, but as he did not do so, and as | no one knew where he was, it was sus-| pected that something was wrong and an expert was engaged to examine his books. Cesterduy the expert’s report was sub. mitted to the directors and the larze de- falcation made known. The method pur-| sued to obtain the money was very simple. | The Cemetery Association kepta running | account at the Central Bank and a “‘per- | | | petual care” fund with the Union Na- tional Bank. Every month certain sums were set apart fvt;m the running account and deposited with the perpetval fund. The amounts tor Macch, April, June, July, August and September were drawn out of | one fund, but were not paid into the re- | serve banking account. | Owiny to the confidence which ten years | of empioyment had caused the directors to | place in their secretary he was mvested) with very general authority. When her husband did not return Mrs. Qutram called on Superintendent Smith and told him of her uneasiness that some | accident had befallen her husband. Then | the revelation was mndt? that he was a de- | faulter. The expert’s report showed that the day before his departure Outram was paid $2887 97, and two days previous he received | $300, so that he was well supplied with | funds when he started. | The association is fully secured as Out- ram’s bondsmen were the Pacific Surety Company. e PoINTS FOR STREET-RAILWAY MEN.—Foree Bain makes some suggestions for the ben- | efit of street-railway men that are well worth considération. He says while there are a great many nickels taken on electric cars on warm summer nights from pas- sengers who are riding for pleasure, ten times the number of nickels remain in the | pockets of would-be passengers simply be- cause the delight of moving rapidly | through the evening air is offset by the uncomfortable, hard wooden seats that they would be forced to occupy. On many of these hard wood, straight-backed seats it requires a sensible effort to prevent a gradual sliding toward the floor of the car. A wooden upholstered seat is too hot for summer use, and the slippery, convex cane seats are an abomination. Mr. Bain advocates the use of some strong, cool fabric for the seats and back which can be inflated with air like a bicycle tire. If ssengers are only made sufficiently com- ?o‘rnble they will multiply as the sangs of the sea, and a clean, cool, yielding cuSoion seat and back would make it necessary to put on extra cars on hot summer nights to | every case he undertakes. T accommodate all the people who wanted a restful ride. Soft rubEersells in the aisles and on the steps of the car would add to the comfort and safetv of passengers. On the steps, besides acting as insulators they may save many accidents by keeping the feet of passencers from slipping. Another idea of Mr. Bain’s is to connect ever piece of metalwork of a car to the ground, especially the hand and guard rai(:. Ifa small copper wire be run from such metal pieces, connected with some portion of the trucks and made of the same potential as | tne ground, no passenger getting on and off the car can receive a shock in any kind of weather. The car conductor should be supplied with some means of communi- cating with the power-house in case of ac- cident or tronble. The easiest way todo | this is to run a telephoneline on the poles | to the terminus of the line and to several | intermediate points. Telephones are now | cheap; a complete set can be bought for $100r $12. Another thing that street-rail- | way men do not realize the value of is a | battery of accumulators. Placed near a | heavy grade they will save copper in line, as well as time; they will save the burning out of armature in climbing the gradient; they will prevent shocks to the muchinerg by equalizing the load, and they can be used to run the “owl’" car aiter the dynamos and engines have been shut down at night. PrEUMATIC FIRE-ALARM TELEGRAPH Sys- TEM.—A new mechanical and pneumatic tire-alarm system has been put upon the market, which embodies a magneto-elec- tric machine for the transmission of a telegraphic alarm to the fire department headquarters. In this system the raising of the temperature of any room above the normal is instantly indicated both within the house and at the fire station. The system consists essentially of three parts, viz.: a thermostat, which acts under the influence of the heated air; an annun-| ciator, which receives the alarm from the detector or thermostat and indicates it by | visual room or floor signal and the ringing | of a bell; and a transmitter, which is also actuated by the thermostat and transmits the alarm by wire to a predetermined sta- | tion. All these are connected by closed | pipes within the building. The annun- | ciator has many duties to perform. In the first place as soon as 1t receives the alarm from the thermostat jts clockwork releases a vibrating lever which sounds a gong. 1t also controls a number of bellows connected to their respective pipes, which when actuated by an impulse of air from the detector ‘drop a shutter and re- lease the clockwork, thus ringing the local alarm and virtually indicating the location of the fire. In other words, the location of the fire is immediately made known to the occupant of every room in the building. The local alarm runs for about fifteen min- utes. It1s located, preferably, just inside the main entrance of the building. The transmitter, besides sending the alarm to the fire station, is connected up with the central exchange of the local telephone company, so that if the residents of the house in which a fire breaks out bappens to be out of town, they may, by previous arrangement, be promptly apprised of the fact by telephone. CoxsuMING SMOKE.—Many central sta- tions in which soft coal is burned have had much trouble from the quantity of smoke escaping from the chimney. Injunctions have been secured for the suppression of the nuisance, and it has, in some cases, become apparent that either the smoke alone or the smoke and station together must be stopped. [n such a predicament engineers have been put to the necessity of trying all manners of smoke-consuming apparatus, many of which have been found as ineflicient as. they were uneconomical. The latest remedy proposed consists in a device for removing solid matter irom tho products of combustion by, means of acold- water spray at the base of the chimney. The soot zoes away in the water, and is afterward collected, while the gases are cooled to about 150 deg. Fahr. As this temperature is too low to give a natural draft, a fan is placed at the bottom of the chimney. The water spray is directed on the fan, and thus the apparatus is kept comparatively cool and clean. The system is unquestionably eflicient, but the tests for econemy are not yet forthcoming. .
