Moreno Seriously Wounded by William Sierp Last Night. Manuel Moreno, alias Brown, a Mexican laborer, was shot last night on Hinckley alley, in the rear of the County Jail, by William Sierp, an employe of John Hoey, the upholsterer. The bullet lodged in the lower portion of his body and was extracted by Dr. Bunnell at the Receiving Hospital. There were two shots fired by Sierp. . According to Sierp’s story he shot in self-defense. His home is at 10 Hinckley alley, he says, and he was on hlswni there with his wife when he was attacked by Moreno and three others. 2 SegundinioVarella,who was with Moreno, tells a different story. From his statement it appears that Moreno bad been drinking in tge house of a friend near by, with Va- rella, Ventura Hermerez and otbers, when some dispute arose as to whether beer or wine should be drunk. Varella says Sierp had been in the Guerra saloon and put in an appearance while the dispute was under W The argument was transferred to the street and the shooting ensued. Sierp was arrested by Police Officers Blodt, Flannelly and McMahon. Mo- teno’s home is at 17 Pinckney alley.

The Prisoner Admits His Crime, but Declares He Will Die a Happy Man. - OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcIsco CALL,} 908 Broadway, Oct. 12. John Young, who is now under sentence of death in San Quentin for killing a man who had befriended him, and who will be executed within a few days, is anxious to meet death in the uniform of the Salvation Army. The crime of which Young was convicted was the murder of a fisherman at Salinas. The fisherman had befriended Young, and some months after their first meeting Young took the fisherman’s life. Since his imprisonment he has been regularly visited by the Salvation Army officers from Qakland. The leader of the contingent that has been carrying on the prison work at San Quentin is Sergeant-Major Brown, one of the most zealous workers on this side of bay. Sergeant Brown has made special efforts with Young to convince the pris- oner that, although his days were num- bered, there was still time to lay the foun- dation of a hope beyond the grave. He found tnat the work of regeneration had been commenced some months before by a little hallelujah lassie, who had visited Young 1n the County Jail at Monterey. Eventually Young professed conversion and was ranked as a member of the Salva- tion Army corps in the prison. “Young admitted he took a life,” said Salyation Sergeant Brown yesterday, “and he believes that his life should be taken as a sacrifice; but he speaks of extenuating circumstances. | “We have visited the jail purely as Sal- vationists and received courtesy from Warden Hale, but asto the merits of Young's case I know practically nothing. | I am convinced, however, that Young has been converted and I believe that my opin= | ion is shared by many others who see much more of him than we do. I have every assurance that he will die a Cnristian.” Comrade Young has been supplied with one of the army jerseys with ‘‘Salvation Army” across the breast, and when he mounts the scaffold he will, 1f permitted, wear that uniform. WANT CHURCHES TAXED. Proprietors of Public Halls Say There Is Discrimination—It Is Said the Churches Are Not Visited. 0AKLAND OFFIcE SaN Fraxcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Oct. { The possibility of an empty city treasury long before the close of the next fiscal year, on account of the Mayor’s enforcement of the dollar-limit tax, has caused the heads of departments and city officials to cast their eyes around for any possible addi- tions to the revenue that may be in sight. The latest move in this direction is to make the churches pay licenses similar to that paid by theaters and halis of amuse- ment, which pay $100 a year license. The proprietors of these halls claim that they are being discriminated against, as nearly all the high-class concerts and dramatic readings are given in churches. These en- tertainments are not the regular church benefit affairs, against which there is no competitive feeling, but against the en- gagements tilled by professionals. “When Liddle and Cable are on their reading tours,” said the proprietor of a hall to-day, “or when star harpists or singers give a concert, they invariably hire a church, and by so doing save several dol- lars, as the churches are rented cheaper than we can afford torent. Yet these peo- ple who engage churches are just as much out for the profiis as we are. “The ordinance reads, ‘any public hall hired for the purposes of amusement,’ and we hold that in this sense, a cnurch is a public ball and should pay a license. Dur- ing the winter there is an average of three concerts a week held in the churches, and thisis a large percentage of the work done. 1f the church concerts were for the benefit of the churches where they were held there would be no ground to find fault, but most of the entertainments and concerts are | just as much professional affairs as those we give. If the licenses do not protect us from those who do not pay licenses, of what benefit are they to us?’ Mayor Davie says that the matter has | been brought to his attention, and he will immediately see what the legal aspect of the question is. A prominent minister was asked about the matter this afternoon, and he replied: I do not think a church was ever asked to take out a license. Until the collector calls I do not wish to discuss the maiter.” FOOTBALL IN BERKELEY, Enthusiastic Game Stopped Once on Account of Slogging. 2, Professor Willlam Carey Jones Sworn In as Town Trustee. Street Matters. BERKELEY, Oct. 12.—The Reliance football eleven played the second practice game of the season with a Berkeley team this afternoon on the U. C. grounds, which resuited in two touchdowns for Berkeley and none for the Reliance. The air was cool and brisk, and the players worked from beginning to end with an animation that almost savored of brutality, for upon three occasions the play was stopped be- cause of slogging. ‘Toward the close of the second half one of the Reliance men acted so unspertsman- like that Hupp, a Berkeley hali-back, who was tackled by him, left the field, and it was only upon persuasion by Coach Butter- worth that he was induced to return. The halves were a few minutes longer than those played last Saturday, being about fifteen minutes in duration. ‘Wilbur, one of the Reliance guards, was carried from the field at the Close of the second half from blows received on the chest and stomach. “The Reliance line-up was as foilows: Center, Hector; E‘“flh' Wilber and Bert Oliver; tackles, McMillan and Erskine; ends, Sherrard and Wyckoff; backs, Wilks and Arlett; full, Huff; quarter, McPike; sub-end, Crosby Hyde. Following was Berkeley’s line-up: Center, Deahl; first half, Schmidt; secona half, — ; guards, Winkler and Plunkett; first half, second haif, Plunkett and Walthall; tackls Douglas and Simpson, both halves; ends, Hutchinson and Hopper in first half an Sherman and Haskell in second; halves, Ru- bottom snd Hall with Kaarsberg full in first -half and in the second Rubottom and Hupp with Ransome as full; Kennedy; second half, Bén Academics Chase the Ball. The Belmonteleven played a lively game of football this afternoon with the Berke- ley gymnasium team, resmtmf in a score of 16to 0 in favor of the Belmont boys. Though the players on both sides worked with a will from kick-off to finish, yet it was evident that the representatives of the Berkeley school were not n good training from the way in which their opponents walked lhmu%h their line, especially in the second half. The line-up of the gymnasium players was as follows: Center, Harry Cornish; guards—Dardinell and Beene; tackles—Briscoand Frugle; ends— Squires and Paterson; halfbacks—Belding and Demoro; quarter-back, E.Mehlert; fullback, Smythe; subs—W. Sharon and Gutte. Following is the list of the Belmont players: Center, Broome; guards, Reid and Nichols; tackles, Macondray and White; ends, Beckley and Ferguson; halves, first half of game, Wadsworth and More; second half, Wadsworth and Cousner; quarter, Phillips; full, Carson. Town Trustees. At the meeting of the Board of Town Trustees to-night the office of Deputy Street Superintendent was created and J. 'W. Strike was elected to the position. Professor William Carey Jones was sworn in as Trustee of the Second Ward, to suc- ceed Reuben Rickard, resigned. The contract for macadamizing San Pablo avenue was awarded to the Oakland Paving Company. Bills to the amount of $1011 10 were al- lowed from the road fund and $1338 74 from the general fund. An unusally large number of contracts for the macadamizing and repairing of streets were awarded. Town Marshal Lloyd reported that he had received during the month of Septem- ber $502 75 for licenses and fees from the Justices’ court. Quiet Among Saloonmen. All was serene among the saloonmen of Berkeley to-day, as no more raids of “Speak Easies” located within a mile of the university ]ground were found neces- sary by Marshal Lloyd. All the parties in whose houses liquor was found yesterday and the day before, with the exception of Mrs. Thompson, bave filed bonds. The confiscated liquor, valyed at about $400, is stored in a room at the Town Hall, and is carefully guarded day nnsl night. College Men Play Tennis. The regular fall tournament of the Uni- versity Tennis Club took place this after- noon on the U. C. courts. The semi-finals and finals, however, are yet to be played off. These are expected to take place next Wednesday. Playing was kept up from 10 o’clock until 4 o’clock, and at times the interest was at & high pitch. Hampton-Turman Nuptials. Thomas F.

Harmony reigned at the artists’ dinner, but she resigned the throne when the proposition of forming a club came up with the black coffee. Artists, sculptors, architects and musicians all talked at once and everybody seemed to be anxious to make himself heard, with the exception of Douglas Tilden, who viewed the excited assemblage with a placid sort of interest. 1t all ended in an agreement to meeta month later at another dinner and there see if some plans for the organization of a club could not be originated, Still the diners talked and when the restaurant- keeper assisted the last guest to depart he was re-echoing a statement made with some emphasis by H. J. Harrington, the veteran artist: “A club of artists? You might as well try to make a rope of sand.” A number of the best-known artists were conspicuously absent. Among those pres- ent were: Joun Stanton, James M. Hamilton, C. D. Robinson, Jules Pages, Andre Raas, Douglas Tild: Willis Polk, Charles J. Dickman, Philip Hastings, Hugo Fisher, H. Raschen, James Swinnerton, Harrison Fisher, Harry D. Bigelow, Edgar Peixotto, K. Van Perbaudt, Connie von Gerichten, Haydon Jones, Will Cantrell, Nat Lands- berger, Mr. Bloomer, Mr. Dubberton, Mr. Fleischman, Mr. Bendix, Mr. Gamble, Mr. Welsh and Mr. Reaser. M:. Robinson was made master of cere- monies, and presided over the dinner. Speeches were made, songs sung, and Mr. Landsberger was rapturously applauded for several violin solos. Then the black coffee came and the row. Mr. Robinson made ar eloquent speech, proposing that a new Artists’ League be tormed. Everybody approved and ap- lauded. Then he began to talk about unds for quarters. This precipitated a flood of opinions. Artist Stanton proffered his studio to the club. This was not deemed practical. Finances came up and the debaters shrunk from the question asif it were accursed. The experience of the Artsand Crafts or- anigation was cited as an awful example. ‘hen Mr. Robinson rose in wrath: “This is the first and last time,” he cried, “that I meet with a lot of artists to ask them to form a ciib. Now ‘are you going todo anything?”’ There was a dead silence. ““Now, see here,” he continued fh des- peration, ‘‘something must be done. Either move that a club be formed or else move that we adjowrn.” Charley Dickman wanted a committee of two appointed to form a plan of organiza- tion. Another squabble ensued, which re- sulted in the decision given above of hav- ing another dinner a month hence. ‘Fhen the company, Bohemians all, went home saving they had had a glorious time and Jimmie Hamilton explaining that he was not to blame for sending out the invi- tations, and that clubs could notbe run without cash, and rich men were articles of necessity. - OORINTHIAN OLOSING.

DELUSIVE WATER ORDER How It Has Tended to Thriftily Develop the Hydrant In- dustry. AN 0DD TEN PER CENT CUT. Figures That Show That Spring Vai- ley Financiers Have No Cause for Anxlety. Tt is just a question whether the present water order that went into effect July 1 lifts any great burden from the rate-pay- ing taxpayer. It's a question for the thoughtful to ponder whether or not it is better to have a 10 per cent cut in ratesto householders while the City or taxpayers at large have to foot water bills each month that are more than double what they were before the new order took effect. It is a grave question as to the amount of real economy to be found in paying for about 3000 hydrants at $5 a month instead of for 2284 hydrants at $2 50 a month. The new order, which was patriotically pre- sumed by the statesmen Supervisors who framed it to embody the virtue of equal- izing more than ever before the burden of water-rate paying, has also led to a sort of centralization in the matter of hydrants. There’s some question as to whether that sort of thing, which sounds formid- able, is really a gl owing benefit to the tax- payer who lives in the outskirts where lots are cheap. The location of thirty-five hydrants, paid for at $5 a month apiece, within the limited area represented by Taylor street, between Golden Gate avenue and Post street, may show up_ the equali- zation of taxation theory all right, but how about tne equalization of benefits? Hydrants are all right and a good thing to have around, like vaccine virus or a pocket flask, but the man who lives on Clement or J street south doesn’t feel any surpassing pleasure in helping pay by gen- eral taxation for six hydrants to a_block on Fourth street or Sixth street or Taylor street. That was a 10 per cent cut in water rates that Supervisors King, Scully, Benjamin, Hirst, Dunker, Morgenstern and Wagner voted to adopt and did adopt on May 20 last. They did not expect it really would cut the revenue of the Spring Valley Com- pany by that amount, but they did figure on about 6 per cent. The doubling of the rate per month that the City has to pay for its hydrants was expected to make up fully 4 per cent. Here is what the committee said in its report presented prior to the adoption of the resolution fixing the rates: The reduction to the income of the company will, however, be only about 6 per cent of ex- isting rates, as an increase of from §2 50 to $5 has been allowed for each hydrant per month, which, estimating the number of hydrants on the first day of July to be 2340, will make an increase in'the amount to be paid by the City of $70,200. As an order this wasall very fine, but the way 1t is working seems to be another thing. As a matter of fact, it is a question that admits of considerable dispute whether that hydrant revenue is not already footing up a great deal more than 4 per cent; footing up so as to nearly, if not entirely, wipe out all that 6 per cent that helped to make up the full 10 per cent cut; footing up not only to that figure, but so as to give the impression to any one examining the records closely tnat before July of next year the water company’s total receipts from the City and the City’s taxpayers will exceed the revenue derived for many years. And all because of as well as in spite of that much talked about 10 per cent reduction on which the City’s statesmen have so prided themselves. No one says the water company should not be paid forservices rendered or commodities furnished. The thing that galis is to have a masquerading order that pretends to be a cut, when it really is something de- cidedly the reverse. That’s the awkward part of it. A glance 2t the records that show what the City has paid for water since the crder took effect and what it paid during the same months last year is of interest: 4y, 1804—for bydrants, $5710; total $3,- July, 1895—for hydrants, $11,835;. total, $14,664 71. 1894—for hydrants, §5710; total, August, $8500 04, August, 1895—for hydrants, $12,320; total, et ter. 1684 for nyarants $5710; total, )eptember, —for hydrants, ; total 8581 89, September, 1895—for hydrants, $12,780; tota, $14,492 d4. opa. SIS0 Taking September as an average month the estimated revenue for the company from the City alone will, it will be seen, run up to about$190,000—quite a difference from the $96,846 which the City paid last year. As the consumers paid in last year $1,551,484, they will—according to the order—pay $150,000 less this year. The company certainly seems to stand an ex- cellent chance in the extra $100,000 coming from the City to make up on that estimated 6 per cent loss. More than this, it is of interest to note the development of the hydrant industry— 80 to call it. Ever since that hydrant tar- iff of $2 50 a month was doubled on July 1 last, hydrants have been springing upabout the City like toads after an April shower, Instead of the 2340 hydrants the water committee naively figured on, there were on October 1 2556 hydrants, and more go- ingin each day. An increase of 216 hy- drants between July 1and October 1is 72 a month, or about three per each working day. As the Spring Valley Company does all the plumbing for these new hydrants, and gets $40 apiece for it, besides drawing the revenue of $5 a month after they are set, it requires only a little arithmetic to figure out a situation that would not be without interest to Mr. Mackay or any of the bonanza kings. A good many hydrants are also being reset, which means old ones taken out and new ones put in. For this the company only gets $20. For the single hydrants which the company puts in the City pays the Risdon Iron Works $23 and $28 for double ones. 3 - Fire Chief Sullivan says the new hy- drants are needed, and he is confident that if no one interferes the City will have be- fore July 1, 1895, between and 600 more hydrants than it had on July 1, 1895. Six hundred new hydrants at $40 apiece means $24,000 for the water company, besides an increased monthly revenue from hydrants —since the adoption of the cut-rate order —of $3000 2 month, or $36,000 a year. If this $36,000 is added to the $24,000 and then the extra compensation for the 2340 hydrants standing when the order went into effec a month, or $70,200 a ar—is added in, making @, é.om of $130,- ), it will be seen that the Spring Valley financiers are still wide awake. No one questions Chief Sullivan’s sin- cerity in desiring all the hydrants he can get. He points out that Boston has fifty or sixty to every four blocks in the busi- ness of the city. He hopes to bring San Francisco up to that standard and Commissioners de- vote a good part of the $217,000 allowed under the last apportionment for bqying and setting up new hydrants. That may be all right from the Chief’s standpoint, but the unique features about the situation have already been pointed out. THE BIG GUN ARRIVES. ‘Will Be Stored in the Union Iron Works Until Wanted. The big 1hinch gun destined for the armored cruiser Oregon arrived yesterday morning from the East. It came south via San Jose and it is not expected that it will be immediately placed on the warship. It was stated at the Union Iron Works yesterday that the cruiser would not be in a condition to receive any armament for several months at least.
