Ellsworth L. Rich of San Jose is & stu- dent in the senior year. He is a licensed preacher, and during last summer occu- pied a pulpit at Boulder Creek. He has ust accepted 8 call to the churches at rights ‘and 8kyland in Banta Cruz Ellsworth L. Rich. County. Mr. Rich has athletic records alore. In 1888, at the field day of the University of the Pacific in San Jose, he captured three firsts and one second out of fourteen events, and two of the marks he set were coast records at that time. They were standing broad jump, 10 feet 2 inches, and running high jump, 5 feet 6 inches. In 1889 at the field day of the same insti- tution Rich secured five firsts and one second out of 18 events, and established three new coast records. These were stand- ing high jump 5 feet, running hiteh-kick, 8 feet3 inches, and throwing the baseball, 359 feet 6 inches. The standing high-jump was at that time within 1% inches of the American record. In addition to these Mr. Rich was captain of the State Normal School baseball team in 1887, and played ilg Stanford’s rush line during 1892 and W. K. Gutbrie is another senior with an athletic record. He is a grandson of Dr. Guthrie, the celebrated Scotch divine, and 1s famous about Edinburgh for his skill at tennis, lacrosse, football and cricket. At Cambridge he played with the football team which contested in the finals for the cham- pionship of the Sonth of England. His lacrosse team held the all-England cham- pionship for three years. At cricket his work with the Brechim team was known throughout Scotland, and he and his brother, T. C. Guthrie, Slavgd together for the Liberton Tennis Club of Edimburgh for three years without defeat. Guthrie is also a long-distance runner, and at his favorite mark, three miles, is said to be in- vincible. Mr. Guthrie, beinglin his senior year, is s licensed preacher. Last summer he resided over the Presbyterian Church at lvedere and met with considerable suc- cess. Last Sunday he preached for Dr. Mackenzie at the First Presbyterian Church in this City and made a very favor- able impression. Arthur H. Barnhisel, 2 student of the middle year, is well known among Califor- nia athletes for his work as center-rush on the Stanford teams of 1891 and 1892. In 1893 he attended Cornell Colleze and played center-rush on the Varsity eleven.

The Garcelon trust contest was resumed in the United States Circuit Court yester- day before Judge Hawley. The morning session and part of the afternoon were taken up by Judge Hayne with the read- ing and filing of documentary exhibits on behalf of the plaintiffs, a small regiment in themselves. They include the presi- dent and trustees of Bowdoin College and fifty-one heirs to whom Mrs. Garcelon left property.

MUSCULAR THEDLOGIANS, Students at San Anselmo May Contest at Intercollegi- ate Gamas. Effort to Secure an Athletic Campus for the Future Presbyterian Divines. Arthur H. Barnhisel. selmo are seriously considering the advisa- bility of entering several of their number for the intercollegiate field day next spring. There are some noted athletes included in e student body, and the matter of secur- ing a seminary campus suitable for both Leld and track events is being vigorously 1gitated. Several of the professors actively tavor such a step, while others are a little doubtful concerning its ultimate effect on ‘he seminary’s high standard of scholar- $hip. *Our position in the premises is easily anderstood,’’ said a student of the middle year speaking for his fellows yesterday. We believe in muscular Christisnity, ‘A . W. K. Guthrie. who was conceded to be one of the leading players of that year, said that Barnhisel was the cleverest center he had ever played against. Barnhisel has also taken thrée frsts for the mile run—iwo at the Univer- sity of the Pacific in 1890 and 1891, and one at Stanford in 1892. In 1891 he also established a coast record of 8 feet 5 inches for the running hitch kick. Of the juniors, Alfonso Bell of Riverside secured the first prize for the pole vault at the intercollegiate contests last year. He is also a dungerous contestant in~ the 100- vard dash. There are other athletes among the juniors, including a dark horse, for the 220 and 440-yara dashes. The students at the seminary wanld like to hold a field day of their own before the end of the year, but realize the im- possibility of covering the whole number of events with only thirty-one men to draw from, and thisitis which has turned their attention toward the intercollegiate contests. They believe that by entering five or six men in picked events they can capture at least two firsts and enough minor places to make the attempt worth while. In case it shall be finally. deter- mined, the entries from the seminary will probably be: ’};’,EIOO yards—Rich '96, Bell '98, Mar- ha! .

An indieatoris about to be for the defendants, began the reading of the deposition of Jobn A. Stanley, ana had reached the fiftieth page of the closely typewritten document when court adjourned at 4 o’clock. The case will be continued next Monday morning at 10 o’clock, when the reading of the remaining 200 pages of the deposition will be resumed. Mrs. Garcelon, sister of the late Dr. Sam- uel Merritt, inherited her brother's prop- erty, valued at something over a million and a half, and at her death she left large amounts to Bowdoin College and 1o & pros- pective hospital to be founded in Oakland and named sfter her brother, the hospital idea having originated with Dr. Merritt. James P. and Frederick A. Merritt, nephews of Dr. Merritt, were previously provided for by Mrs. Garcelon, wko wished to forestall a legal eontest; sh $125.000 in cash and property valued at $368,850 in satisfaction of their claims as relatives of Dr. Merritt, who had provided in his will that they should each receive $500 8 month for ten years, but he gave | Hg left the whole of | them no property. his possessions to his sister. Bowdoin College and Mrs. Garcelon’s numerous heirs are now trying to have the court enjoin the Merritt nephews and the Garcelon trustees from interfering with the trust and the distribution of the estate. Attorney Arthur Rodgers offered a gen- eral objection to thereading of the exhibits on the ground that this proceeding was unnecessary. In the main the documents contained testimony of subscribing wit- nesses to Mrs. Garcelon’s will An old letter by Harry P. Merritt to his attorney, stating that he wished to_hand in his resignation as an executor and have it acted upon at once by the court, was read in evidence. A detailed denial, signed by George W. Reed, maintained that Mrs, Garcelon was not weak in mind or in judgment and did not rely on others at the time of making her will When the argument of Judge Patterson, maae in the early trial, was offered in evi- dence Rodgers objected seriously and de- manded tbat the plaintiffs first prove in what capacity Judge Patterspn made that speech. Judge Hayne's assumption was !gn the spéech bad been made by Judge Patterson as an attorney for James P. Mer- ritt, and he said that he wished to show by it that Harry P. Merntt bad resigned by procurement of James P. Merritt. “Do men usmally aid their enemies?” said Judge Hayne; *‘here we find his at- torney attacking the will that was the foundation of Harry P. Merritt’s rights.’” The deposition' of John A. Stanley showed that Stanley had known Mrs. Garcelon since 1869 and had lived across the street from her home in Oakland; that after November, 189, he was more in- timate with her, his friendly relations prior to that time conliau:.gl of oceasional calls at_internals of seve: weeks; that she had consulted him as a friend as to the advisability of giving property to the Merritt nephews, and that he had advised her to satisfy their claims as relatives in order that the trust might be free from contests. It was John A. Btanley who subse- | quently at Mrs. Garcelon’s request carried on all the negotiations with Judge Foote, attorney for the Merritt nephews; and it was he who drafted the deeds and finally tted upon the cars of the Metropolitan gi;:riccpfinilwny, London, England, which looks like a practicable device, This rail- wa, has about forty-eight stations and frequent trains, ~so that the apparatns _ will have a. trying test. At s sufficient distance beyond each station, clear of the switches, a plece of timber abont four inches wide by twenty feet long is placed on chairs fas- téned to the sleepers just in the middie of the track. This carries intermediary gear, which transmits movement to a vertical rod running up to a shaft on the roof. As this shaft moves to the right or the lett it actuates an endless chain within the car, which earries the names of the stations in conspicuous letters, so that whicheyer way the train is movin{ it actuates the paratus on_the track and the endless in is moved correspondingly. paid over the §125,000 to the young Mer- ritts. ' Mrs. Gearcelon on two occasions told John A. Stanley that she wanted him t. make her will, for she wished to_have it proof against attacks by Dr. Merritt's nephews. KILLED BY A FALL, George W. Brower Stumbles Into the Hold of the Steamer Everett and Dies. George W, Brower, an employe in the pressroom of THE CaLr, met with a fatal accident last night. He and Joseph Jerry of San Joso boarded the whaleback steamer City of Everettat the Lombard- gave them | limits of the City and County of San Francisco. The prominent members of the association are: Oharles H. Hubbe, Gustay Sutro, Will H. Crocker, 8. Prentiss Smith, L. P. Drexler, W. H. McCarthy and J. C. Jordan. These gentlemen are all large property-holders in the district, and their influence will be felt in the further ance of the objects of the club. “The Richmond people to a unit,” said Mr. Hubbs yesterday, ‘‘earnestly desire the removal of the five big graveyards from the hills above their abodes. Insome of the cemeteries of the City burial lots are leased 1111997, and in others the plats of ground are deeded to their owners, but the Boar | of Health may at any time, for sanitary reasons, condemn thescemeteries and not only stop interments ‘there, but order the removal of all bodies buried there, The last board recommended a wholesale re- | moval to new cemeteries outside the City | hmits and the matter: was taken to the Legislature, by which it was referred back to the Board of Supervisors. “The closing of the Richmond school { houses ana ne shuttingout of ‘almost 500 | enildren from educational advantages is a | calamity, but probably a needful one to | protect the health of thelocality. But the good work must go further. ‘These grave- | yards are a standing menace.to the City, | because the bodies under the sand dis- | charge thegues of decay easily “E in the | open air, On damp laggy times when the | atmosphere is heavy, the odors from these | exhalations are very apparent.

For a | long time a pool stood at the corner of | First avenue and Point Lobos road, oppo- | site the schoolbouse, which had its source | in the cemetery.. It wasa most unheaithy | spor, and several deaths occurred in the | near vicinity, The place was finally sew- | ered and drained.’’ { The following extract from an articls | written by Dr. William H. Mays, one of | our most celebrated physicians, “in 1880, is ! pertinent to the subject and will bear re- publication: - | It seems strange fo revive at this late day and | in this remote cotner of the globe, the old | struggle of intra versus extra mural initerment, | 'settied, as far as tie rest of the world is con- | eerned, fully two decades ago.

Ricketis, suggesting, as a substitute, to act for him whenever he is dis ualified, the name of Waldemar Lingren. Mr. Lingren, says the correspondent, was one of the Government field geologists who surveyed the Central Pacific grant. The counsel for the railroad companies have endeavored to show that the Benja- min protests and appeals are irregular, bat Mr. Ricketts eweeps that aside with the following: The allegations in the protest upon which theu:x);ellg are based show that the lands selected by the railroad companies “are more valuabls for mineral than for agricultural pur- poses,” and that is sufficient to set the machin- ery of the Government in motion. On the part of the railroad._companies it has been charged that Mr. Benjamin had his affidavits without first qualifying him- self by personal examination of the lands. The lawyers of the Bouthern Pacific and Central Pacific offices had shown how the railroad selections wers made in the fol- lowing, which Mr. Ricketts quotes: First, the company files its lists of the lands at the locel land office, attached to which is the afidavit of the land agent of the company, that the said lands are vaeant, unappropriated and are not interdieted mineral or reserved lands, and are of the charactsr contemplated by the grant. Mr, Ricketts'gets back by using a letter from W. F. Herrin to Frank R. Weihe of Downievilie. From that letter Mr. Rick- etts éuotes in italics this expression of Mr, Herrin: All 1ands, however, present about the same Bppearance on the Government's survey maps and the company’s applications for patents are masde from those maps without any knowled; of the lands other than that afforded by the ofticial notes and plats of the surveys. In the language of Mr. Ricketts; “There is not a scintilla of evidence to show that the land agent of the railroad company ever examined the lands selected to ascer- tain their character, or that he had ever been over a gle acre, but everything ints to the fact that he did ‘sit down in is office in San Francisco and make such affidavits as appear in this case,’”’ To be brief, Mr. Ricketts appends all the correspondence that has passed be- tween W. H. Mills and the Mineral Lands Commitiee, including also the letter written bi,' State Mineralogist Crawford to John M. Wright. ROW AT THE NAVY-YARD. Charges Against Commandant TWO EXTRA SPECIALS!

Captain H. L. Howison, U. 8. N., com- mandant at the Mare Island Navy-ydrd, and David Clopton, clerk of the Inspection Clerk Clopton had apparently not cooled off in the least, for the semi-parental ad- vice had no effect on him, and he at once wrote out a list of charges, based on the interview in the commandant’s office, and other incidents of a like nature, and handed them to the commandant through the medium of a subordinate. ' Just what is contained in the document now in the hands of Secretary Herbert will probably not be known until the prospec- | tive Board of Inquiry convenes, for the etiquette of the navy seals the lips of the principals in the affair as well as of those about them, and it was only by the merest chance that the facts of the case were learned at all. Itis said, however, that Commandant Howiston is ch-rged with exceeding his authority and with using improper lang- uage to & subordinate.
