It Is Killed by a Vote of Seven to Four. At to-night's meeting of the City Coun- cil an attempt was made to pass the ordin- ance fixing the tax levy at $1 18 over the veto of the Mayor attached toit this morn- inz. The solid seven voted against the veto, but it required eight votes, and so | the ordinance was killed. Councilman Heitman introduced an ordi- nance fixing the levy at $1 and it was re- ferred to the Ordinance and Judiciary Com- mittee. There was considerable discussion over the matter, and the fact that the bankers were supporting the Mayor was ade the most of, but it affected no votes. The proceedings were all cut-and-dried. ing went according to programme t a single vote was influenced by the of the question. The deadlock the Mayor, the Board of Public and the City Council was un- e among Works broken. OAKLAND A PORT OF ENTRY. The Act Was Passed and Only an Appro- priation Is Now Necessary. The last Congress passed a bill making Oakland a port of entry in response to a demand from the merchants of every town and city in Alameda County, but it was not put’ into effect because there was no appropriation made with which to estab- lish the necessary quarters and pay the officers. Oakland Board of Trade is now the matter so that when Con- convenes the necessary appropria- ay be made, th ail the trade from abroad,” said t Keller of the Board of Trade to- k still has to receive all her goods through the San Francisco Custom- Louse. This compels a merchant to cross the bay to transact his business with the customs.a ities.”” Cupid Was Busy.

Miss Phtt is the youngest daughter of the proprietor of the Plittsville Park, another resort about half a mile distant. Mr. Dieves gave his age as 48 and that of his intended bride as 22. They were married this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents. Many of their intimate friends were present. Shortly after his uncle secured a license | Charles Isaac Dieves applied to the same official to wed Miss Irene Lizzie Roff. He gave his age as 22 and the bride to be 21. Both are residents of Oakland. The per- mit was issned, and the young man went away lmpyg; A qniet wedding this after- noon was the result. Mrs. Isaac Surryhne of 318 Telegraph avenue is a sister of Joe Dieves and hasa half interest in a $120,000 estate left by their mother three years ago, when she died. Mrs., Surryhne refused to see any one to-day regarding the wedding. It is understood she is opposed to the match. A Pioneer Doctor Dies. Dr. Samuel Francis Rodoph, one of the ioneer physicians of this city, died at his i tion m “W | mbuntains above Los Gatos | Assessor. TheSupervisors kave instructed Sa turday | evening.” He was a native of New Yor! and 68 years of age.

McNamce. who conducts a saloon just outside of Oakland and Alameda, on Park avenue, at the en- trance to the tidal canal bridge, and who is charged with selling liquor to minors in violation of the license ordinance of the county. Perpetual Injunction. E. B. Buswell to-day filed thelong-talked- of suit to test the right of the railroad to collect tare on the Seventh-street road in the Superior Court. The proceedings are what is known as a bill of peace. The case is founded ou the proposition that as a common carrier the railroad can- nos refuse to carry passengers, and that any railroad accepting a franchise from a municipality is bound to give a consider- ation in return—in this instance a transfer of passengers from one station to another. County Taxes. The County Tax Collector has been served with a copy of the decree of Judge Elisworth, and he will not receive any taxes upon any figures except those of the the District Attorney to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, and he is already per- fecting the appeal.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAX FRANCISCO CALL,; 908 Broadway, Oct. 8. Mrs. Mary Ann_Ferrera of San Lorenzo, who Jeft her husband and four children about a week_8go ana refuses to return, has been ar- rested on suspicion of insanity. Atsixteen minutes after 7 o'clock last eve ing an earthquake was plainly felt in this cit Itwes not & violent shock and seemed to be 8 swinging from northeast to southwest. A cispatch from Sunol says a pair of bears, which have been kept as household guardians on the W. R. Hearst place near Sunol, broke loose dayor two ago,and are still in the woods. Last night N. A. Lamb of San Francisco was walking on the south side of Seventh street, between Broadway and Washinglon, when he was struck on the back of the head and knocked senseless. The Juanita Hotel, on Ean Pablo avenue, was attached this afternoon ‘at the instance of Harriet J. Graham. The attachment is the re- sult of the marital woes of the proprietor of the place—W. M. Hatfield. A meeting of the directors of the Mountain View Cemetery Association will be held to- morrow evening, when it is expected W. P. Melvin will be elécted to succeed E. P. Outram, the defaulter, as secretary. The Reliance football team will not go to Chicago. The lateness of organization and the dixflculéy of getting remunerative terms in the Windy City have induced the management to decide not to go so far East. Many inquiries were made at the City Tax Collector’s office this morning for tax bills, as this is the date when the city nsually com- mences to collect the taxes, but no bills can be given out until the rate is finally fixed. George H. Kellolg. the ex-railroad detective, was arraigned to-day upon the indictment b the Grand Jury and allowed one day in whic| 10 plead. On motion of H. 8. .ldrich, his at- torney, the defendant’s bail was reduced from F4 to $2500. There will be a meeting of the Alameda County Miners' Association in the City Coun- cil chambers to-morrow evening to select dele- ates to the State convention, which will meet at Pioneer Hall, S8an Francisco, on the 14th, 15th and 16th of October. HEBREWS DESIRE REFORM Affairs at Beth ‘Israel Syna- gogue Are Approaching a Crisis. Rabb! Friedlander Leads the Major- ity—Woman Suffrage In Abeyance. OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, October 8. The pronounced reforms that Rabbi Friedlander wishes to ‘introduce in the First Hebrew congregation are not meet- ing witb favor from the elderly members. As a result there are two distinct factions 2% the synagog ne. The reform members, under Dr. Fried- lander, wish a change. They want the prayers do be said partly in English and partly in Hebrew, and the priest to face the people. The reform movement is also ate residence, 966 Clay street, at 6:45 o'clock this morning, lm:kin? three months of having attained his eightleth year. Dr. Rodoph was a native of Switzerland. He came to Oakland thirty-eight yearsago, where he readily gained and retained an ascendency among the foremost members of his calling. Of late years Dr. Rodoph, owing to his advanced age, has not en- gaged m the practice of his profession. The doctor leaves a widow, and was the father of Frank Irwin, Charles and George Rodoph, Mrs. J. M. Stillman, Mrs. 8, Smith and Mrs. A. S. Carson, the last mentioned a resident of Portland, Or. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon from the late family residence. Whidden’s Defense. Attorneys Moore and De Golia moved to setaside the indictment againsi Myron A. Whidden to-day before Judge Frick when the case came up, upon the ground that it was not found, indorsed or presented as prescribed by law; that the names of the witnesses examined were not inserted at the foot of the indictment or indorsed thereon; that persons were permitted to be present at the sessionsof the Grand Jury notso permitted by law; also that the defendant did not have the priviiege of challenging the panel or nni' Grand Jury- man for prejudice, ana the further ground of alleged inlormality in impaneling the Grand Jury. o Another motion to quash the indictment sets forth that Whidden was made a wit- ness against himself. Dr. Buck’s Death. A dispatch from San Jose says: “Dr. E. W. Buck aied at his residence in the | isin cusiody in deisult of §1000 bail. in favor of instrumental music at feasts, which is not according to the old ritual. Although the reform members elected a majority of the trustees at the recent elec- tion, the matter of allowing female mem- bers to vote was not looked u'on with favor. An 1ncident that bas caused friction in the congregation was the opposition raised a few days ago to performing certain rites over the deceased son of a reform member. The lad’s father had neglected or objected to have one of the most important Jewish ‘rites observed, and when his son died there was a desire shown to do honor to his memory. This wasfought by the opposition on the ground that owini to his father’s ideas he was not a bona-fide Jew. Rather than bave an L rupture the matter was allowed to se, but it is one of the elements of the present discontent. The conservative party has gone so far as to attack some of the rabbi's pulpit ut- terances, to say they are unbecoming. This charge is denied by Dr. Friedlander and his friends, who hold that their views are being adopted in Jewish circles the world over. The reform members are now 1n the majority and say that their number is continually increasing. Indicted by the U. 8. Grand Jury. The United States Grand Jury has found a true bill against A.J. Tooney on a charge of having counterfeit money in his possession. The information charges him with having ssed a spurious $5 plece on Charles S. Camp- 11 of Storkton. When arrested he had four of the counterfeit colns on his person. Tooney HEARST'S MEXICAN CASTLE A Quaint and Picturesque La- cienda Completed at Pleasanton. ON THE MILLIONAIRE'S RANCH.

T LEV AND LIGHTS, Alameda City Trustees Fix the Former at the Rate of $1 22. | | ALAMEDA, CAL., Oct. 8.—There was a | very largely attended meeting of the Board of City Trustees this evening, the | occasion being the fixing of the tax levy. A committee of five prominent tuxpayers were present to protest against the pro posed levy of $1 20, which it is rumored they will be removed at once and placed under a death watcn. St. Clair has been reprieved five times and is_much downcast, as he firmly be- lieved “that he would receive executive clemency. The hanging will take place under t he direction of the United States Marshal, as the men were under Government juris- diction. OENSURED THE COMPANY. | Findings of the Case of Luigi Giorno, Killed by an Electric- Car. A Coroner’s jury censured the manage- ment of the Kearny-street electric line yesterday for the death of Luigi Giorno, the little Italian boy who | was killed on September 30 by being {run down on Broadway, between Montgomery avenue and Kearny street. The evidence was somewhat conflicting, but the majority of the witnesses agreed that the car was going very fast, and that tne Jad had rushed across the street ahead of it without seeming to realize the danger. One witness testified that Giorno had run out from behind a wagon and right under the car before it. { The jury eviaently had 1deas on the | fender question, for the following verdict was unanimously agreed upon : We, the jury, find that Luigi Giorno, age 9 jenrs s native of New York, and residing at 29 Hinckley alley, San Francisco, came to his death on September 30, on Broadway, between | Montgomery avenue and Kearny street, from a | shock, and we further find that the said Luigi | Giorno came to his death through the careless- ness of the motorman and the absence of | proper fenders and life-saving appliances on the car. There was no recommendation regard- \ Wi Anp-COYT \\“ i SIDE VIEW AND ENTRANCE OF THE NEW HEARST CASTLE NEAR PLEASANTON. [From a photograph.] above the bed of the valley, of which it commands a splendid view. Mount Diablo lies to the northeast and standsout in bold relief, about twenty-five miles away. Pleasanton is to the easttwo and a half miles, and Livermore is in plain viewa few miles further to the eastward. ‘Where the railroad crosses the entrance to the stock farm is a little station built in the same stvle as the house, tile cov- ered, plastered with stucco outside and lathed and plastered inside. The front of the castle is approached through the gate- way in the massive wooden wall. This approach is from the west and the effect is a good deal that of coming up to some gray old fortress. This impression is caused by putting timbers, which have been taken for guns run out, but which are nothing more dangerous than gar- goyles—the projecting ends of the cross timbers left exposed after the style of Mexican waterspouts. The age effect has been studied every- where. Inside, wherever there is wood- work, it is generally finished in oak, stained and polished to produce the effect of time. So naturally is this done that many of the rooms look as if they were part of a castle 1000 years old. The ceil- ings are of roughened plaster, with no col- oring at all. Nearly the whole space—the patio in- closed as a court—will be in grass, with the driveway around a grass plat with a rock- ery and fountain, After the plans were decided upon builders from San Francisco and Oakland were invited to bid. The fortunate firm was W. 8, Veitch & Brothers of this city. The finishing touches are now being put on the interior. FOR BERKELEYS FUTURE, The Town Deeply Interested in the Issuance of School Bonds. BERKELEY, CaL., Oct. 8.—The town of Berkeley is at present involved in the con- sideration of a proposition whether bonds to the amount of $75,000 or $100,000, to be expended in the erection of new high anu grammar school buildings, shall be called for by the Town Trustees. In a measure the Town Board is at a loss to know which way to turn. It does not wish to issue a call for a hond election to raise $100,000 if $75,000 will be deemed suf- ficient by a majority of its constitu- ents. As a means of determining the consensus of opinion mass meetings will be held in the near future in various sections of the town, There was to have been one in South Berkeley this evening for that purpose, but it has been post- ned until the 17th inst. The question in West Berkeley is to be handled by the Improvement Club, Baptist Convention. The fifteenth annual session of the Cen- tral Baptist Association opened this after- noon at the First Baptist Church on Dwight way. Devotional exercises were opened by the moderator, Rev. C. M. Hill, pastor of the Tenth-avenue Baptist Church, East Oak- land. Most of the afternoon was taken up with the transaction of preliminary busi- ness, such as the naming of committees und the arranging of minor details. Committees were announced as fol- lows by the chair: Arrangements—Mrs. C. W. Haight, Rev. M. P. Boynton, Mrs. A. W. Russell. Non’flnnlnnl—mv. A. M. Russell, G. W. Dun. can, H. Garthwaite. Enrollment—Rev. A. Bjolander, Z, M. Goldsby. The committee on nominations recom- mended the following &ermnl as officers for the ensuing year: Maderator, Rev. C. M. Hill; secretary, H. F. Morris; treas- urer, George Frazer. Their election was unanimous. : Rev. W. H. Latourette, Rev. J. L. Allen and Rev. Robert Whitaker were npgomm a committee on digest on church letters- with instructions to report to-morrow morning. o This evening a praise service was the main feature, after which Rev. B, Hudson read a report on Btate missions and Rev. Robert Whitaker spoke on home missions. Reception to the Pastor. l A reception in the nature of a garden the Trustees will impose. Before the ques- tion was considered there was much argu- ment over the high electric towers now in use in the city, and Messrs. J. N. Young, Columbus Bartlett and T. A. Smith ad- dressed the board on the subject. It was decided to investigate the matter thor- oughly and report at the next meeting. Trustee Fletter then introduced the reso- lution that the tax levy be fixed at $122 per $100 of assessed valuation, to be dis- tributed as follows: General fund 60 cents, street fund 17.56 cents, high school 7 cents, general school 15 cents, library 6.34 cents, bonds 16.10 cents. Mr. Williams ad- dressed the board on behalf of the tax- {ayers' committee and was followed by Columbus Bartlett, J. A. Leonard, T. A, Smith and_Alex Mackie, the latter pre- senting a formidable array of figures to prove that.the high tax levy was unneces- sary and bringing the board up with a ures, The several speakers were roundly applauded, The resolution, as introduced by Trustee Fletter, was seconded by Trustee Clark, and was carried unanimously. During the meeting J. A. Britton of the Oakland Gaslight Company also addressed the board, and will appsar before them next Monday, when he expects to prove that the figures furnished by Mr. Weise, the city electrician, ale wrong, and that the cost of the electric_lights in Alameda is not less than those in Oakland. It was the most exciting meeting held for many a month. A Newspaper Change. James C. Tyrrell, proprietor of the Grass Valley Union, to-day purchased ah inter- est in the Alameaa Telegram, and will assume the business management im- mediately. Editor E. L. Marshall will control the editorial policy of the paper. The Telegram was the first daily paper to be published in Alameda, and two years ago was turned into a morning paper. The new firm promises to institute many im- provements in the near future. Baptist Church Concert. Miss Charlotte Gruenhagen will assist the Misses Noble at the concert at the Baptist church on the 17th, Miss Gruen- hagen will go to Europe to complete her musical education in the near future, and this will be her last public appearance be- fore her departure. A Charitable Guild. A St. Agnes Guild was organized yester- day by the election of Miss Ethel Brown gresi ent, Miss Dora Benson vice-presi- lent, Miss Darneal secretary, Miss Maud Russell treasurer, Mrs. Wiggin directress. The organizaticn will be known as the auxiliary to St. Agnes Guild. Mrs. Taylor Goes to New York. Mrs. Isabella Taylor, wife of Bisho Taylor and mother of E. K. and Stuart Mp Taylor, left this afternoon on the overlana for a visit to her two sons residing in New York City, Rev. Ross and Harry R. Taylor. REFUSED TO INTERFERE. The President Will Not Stop the Hang- ing of St. Clair and Hansen. United States Marshal Baldwin received a telegram yesterday announcing that on the 5th inst. President Cleveland, after looking into the matter, had refused to in- terfere with the course of the law in the case of Thomas St. Clair and Hans Han- sen, two sailors who were convicted about two years ago of the murder of Mate Fitz- gerald of the bark Hesper. The case created a great deal of excite- ment at the time the men were arrested on the arrival of the vessel at this port and a long and bitter lsfinl fight was made to save their necks. verg technicllitr was taken advantage of to delay the trial, and when the men had been sentenced the efforts to save them did not cease. Attor- ney James F. Smith, who defended the pair in the United States District Court, went East in person to plead their cause and took with him a petition signed by several thousand persons in this City and in San Jose, asking that the sen- tence be commuted to life imprisonment. Eleven of the jurymen who convicted them signed the petition, the twelfth declining todo soon the ground that he believed them guilty and. that they should be hanged. ‘ The efforts of the condemned men’s {riends were vain and they will be hanged on the 18th inst. at San Quentin, whither round turn when they laughed at his fig- ing the manner in which the corporation or its employe should be dealt with. Coroner Hawkins approved the verdict.| ERMGaes e REAL ESTATE TRANSAOTIONS! S 8. G. and Louise Dragomanovich, Ernest Schmidt. John H. or John Eggers, or Heggers (Sehmidt & Kggers), to T.
