OAKLAND OFF1 At to-night’s meeting of the City Coun- | cil the Mayor sent his promised messages regarding the Grant School and city dredg- ing. In connection with the school scan- dal he said Information hav roof of the new & leaky conditior was made, with & view to red without cost to the ci n & new building such defects m the best of construction, and, therefore, t & case of small moment, that could be at- nded to by the contractor of © King & personal examinati ions of a grave character were encountered that it was expedient to have the building thoroughly examined and ascertain its true office that w dent school 1 build- yed James Hopkins, superint of the Sixt.

Mayor Davie also vetoed the ordinance to-day apvropriating $3000 for the purpose of dredging from Webster street to Frahk- 1in. The message says: ar $2000 is provided for dredg- ing, the intention being only to dredge at the Grove-street wharf. Any attempt to exceed that amount i¢ not in accordance with the policy of the city under the pres- ent tax levy. 1 concluding the Mayor does so with is characteristic philosophy. He says: “In connection with this matter I desire to call your attention to the fact that had the Council heeded the petition of the merchants of Oakland for the construction of a warehouse on the Franklin-street wharf instead of illegally granting a spe- cial privilege to the present occupant and making it impossible for the construction of a wareho the revenue of the city from that direction would have been increased. No other city having a water frontis with- out a warehouse, and Oakland, with its fine harbor facilities, is the only seaport without such accommodations.” Fatal Effect of Chewlng Gum. Ora Lee Carlton, a little ild 5 years old, daughter of ex-Detective C. E. Car ton, died this morning of appendici leath was the direct result of swallow: ing a piece of chewing gum last week. The little girl was taken sick a few days ago and her condition became such that an operation was deemed the only means | 80d specifications in the City Clerk’s and | saving her life. When this was per- formed it was found that the chewing gum had lodged in the appendix. The operation relieved the little one fora time, but death came this morning. Trying to Quash an Indictment. An effort is being made to quash the in- dictment against County Auditor Myron A n the ground of alieged tech- n the form of procedure. One objection 1s that one of the grand jurors irned the indictment was insane at ie time and so remained until he com- mitted suicide. Another is that the name of Juror Beaudry was thrown out without legal knowledge of his death. Grand Juror Corey was examined as to his bias or knowledge of facts obtained outside of the Grand Jury room. Has a Misplaced Heart. Frederick Moran, who has been an in- mate of the County Infirmary for a short time, has his heart on the right side in- stead of the left. He told the physicians that nearly two years ago his heart com- menced to migrate around his body and a physical examination proved that his ttory is true. Dr. Clark says that this is the third case of the kind of which he knows anything. Mrs. Burbank Gets It All. Judge Frick to-day signed a decree dis- tributing the estate of William Walkerley to Mrs. %lauche Walkerley-Burbank. This as done under the decision of the Su- me Conrt rendered a few weeks ago. Besides the real estate and some personal property there is $38,000 in the hands of the executors. The whole estate is worth about three-quarters of a million. To Meet Wednesday. The thirty-eighth annual meeting of the General ociation of Congregational Churches will convene in the Market- street Church to-morrow morning. It in- cludesall of the churches of that creed north of the Tehachapi range. It is ex- pected there will be over 200 delegates and the proceedings will last three days. Got a Small Share. George Craige, a West Oakiand boy, who was arrested on a charge of burglary, has made a confession. He s he en- tered the house of B. Galluchi in company with Frank Opdyk and stole $300. Craige says that Opgyk took the $800 and gave him 10 cents. The police have not yet been able to arrest Opdyk. KISTOI;Y- OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Short Chapters.

Emery, the well-known capitalist, who resides on San Pablo avenue, jast beyond the city limits, was married Sat- urday evening in San Jose to Mrs. Amelia M. Marcellus, widow of the late ex-Post- master E. P. Marcellus of this city. The | approaching nuptials were unknown to but very few cf the friends of eitker of the | interested parties in this vicinity, and the | news of the wedding will be quite a sur- | rise. 5 Mrs. Marcellus, since the death of her husband about three years ago, has been ng with her daughters. st Saturday Mr. Emery and his two mained until yesterday afternoon, when they came to his residence here. Mr. Emery is & man of considerable | means and is the founder of a small sta- ion on the Berkeiey road known as Emeryville.

The City Trustees to-nigh | salary list, amounting to §: | demands amounting to $898 were als | audited. Demands for about $5000 are in | the hands of the City Clerk awaiting the | incoming tax. The Trustees discussed the | location to decide what part of the ex- | pense if any_they would pay in fitting up the library in the City Hall. A meeting will be held by the library trustees to- | morrow evening, when it is expected that | the matter will be decided whether they mill move into the municipal building or remain in their present quarters. Park- | street dealers will present the library board | with a petition not to move the library | from Park street. | Tt was discovered last week that the | doors on three of the vaults in the City i Hall were not made according to the plans | Architect’s office, and attention was called to the matter. The Trustees, upon investi- gation of the doors, expressed themselves | s diseatistied with the work and ordered | their removal. The Hall Safe and Lock | Company were the contractors. They have taken out tbe doors and had them sent to San Francisco to be properly fitted with the bolts and bars called for by the city. 75 Andther Liveryman Buncoed. The liverymen of Alameda are getting to be very suspicious of strangers. Two well-dressed men hired a horse and buggy from Graham’s stable on Saturday, being waited upon by one of the employes, to whom they represented that they knew Mr. Graham. They wanted the rig for the afternoon, and were accommoaated. At night Mr. Graham commenced to get un- easy, but was shortly afterward relieved when a boy drove the team into the stable. | The two men gave the boy the rig, with instructions to collect 50 cents for his | trouble. The place where they claimed to | have resided was then visited, but no one knew them, and, as suspected, it was a | plain case of fraud. Another Large Building. Mrs. Mary R. Mastick, widow of the late J. W. Mastick, has let a contract for the construction of an_ expensive building on her property at the northwest corner of Railroad avenue and Sherman street. It | Will cost §11,500 and contain stores below | and private aparuments above.

The San Francisco Police Department has taken several pointers from the New York department, but now the tables are turned, and New York in one matter, at least, is following San Francisco's ex- ample. The Chief of Police of New York, having read about the magnificent shooting range here and the benefit to be derived from it, has established a similar ra; ge, and already there is talk of a competition between twenty men from each depart- ment. Colonel Beaverof the Bank of Califor- nia, who is deeply interested in the range here, has offered a gold medal for the best shot in the department. He has the mat- ter in band and is in communication with the New York Chief. The match will in all probability take place in the spring. Each squad will fire at its own range, but there will be a repre- | sentative from each city to see that everv- thing is carried on fairly and squarely. Colonel Beaver will represent San Fran- cisco during the firing at the New York range, but the New York representative { who will be here is not yet known. Chief Lloyd of Oakland inspected the range Saturday and he at once issued a cuafiange to Captain Wittman for a match between ten men of his force and ten men from the captain’s division, which was promptly accepted. The match will come off some day this week. The ten men have not yet been selected by Captain Wittman. e e Native Son Baseball.

The First Assistant Has Not Yet Been Notified That His Office Has Gone. OARLAND OFrIcE SAN Fraxcrsco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Nov. 4. | | The circumstances attending the efforts of the Council to abolish the office held by | Miles Doody, first assistant engineer of | the Fire Department, have stirred up all the old-time politicians in the city. Doody | has been closely identified with the depart- ment and with Republican politics for | thirty years, and around him centers much interesting history. The Oakland Volunteer Fire Department was organized in the fall of 1868, It con- | cisco from his late_residence, sisted of about sixty members, who elected men in college. The colors on the uni- versity flagstaif were at half-mast to-day in his memory. This afternoon the sophomore class, of which he wasa member, held a meeting and passed resolutions expressing their sorrow at his loss. 5 Their hop, which was to have been held | | on next Friday evening, was postponed for one week on account of his death. Following were the resolutions passed: | Resolved, That we pay the last solemn tribute due our late friend, Henry Charles Mer- Till—the public expression of deep sorrow for the untimely loss of & compenion respected and loved; and Resolved, That to his bereaved family we | extend our heartfelt sympathy ia their afflic- tion. A delegation to represent the class at the funeral was appointed, consisting of Oliver, Thomas, Russell, Gable and Hocheimer. It was also voted to send a floral tribute from the cla: An mquest was held over the remains this morning at the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity House, the jury returning a lict of accidental death.” The funeral will be held in San Fran- . 732 Wash- ington street, on Wednesday, at some hour yet to be named. More Liquor Found. Deputy Marshal Kerns and Speaal Of- ficer Coey raided the cafe of ed Fonzo, who has two charges for violating the death of Henry Merrill, 2 member of the class of '98, who s thrown from the local train on Friday night and received inju- | ries from which he died yesterday after- noon. 2 He was one of the most highly respected MILES DOODY. [From a photograph.] | a chief engineer, two assistants and three | trustees. Miles Doody was one of the trus- | tees and J. C. Halley was chief engineer. Six months later Halley left Oakland. Miles Doody resigned as trustee and w elected Hailey’s successor. With the ex- | ception of three short spells Doody has i been connected with the Fire Department in one position or another ever since. The department was merged into a paid organization in 1874 Soon afterward “ Doody held the position of the foreman of the hook and ladder, and later us foreman of an engine. Forsix years he served as | second assistant engineer and fire warden | under that grand old fireman, Chief James Moffitt. After Chief Moffitt’s death John Kennedy was Chief for a year or two. Under his administration Miles Doody | wentout, to be reinstated when the incum- bent, Chief Lawton, took office. He has | since held his present position as first assistant chief engineer. He at present is foreman of the Exempt Firemen, which body was organized in Oakland a few | months ago. “Insome of the reports regarding the present difficulty over the abolition of my office,”” said Mr. Doody to-day, ‘it has been stated that Fire Commissioner Peirsol made an ante-election pledge tojmy friends that he would not vote to put me out of office. Had he done so I should have known it, and I am satisfied that he never made any such promise. “Inever knew Mr. Peirsol until a few days before last election, and certainly had no talk with him regarding what he would do in the eyent of his being elected. I voted for him simply because he was a Republican, and I did the same for Wilson for the same reason. As to the ordinance | passed by the Council, I regard it as so much wasted effort, for I hold office di- rectly from the Fire Commissioners, and if they take any action I, of course, shall ol bey it. “Why should I give up my office when I have received no notification to do so? It is certainly absurd to suppose that I shall voluntarily and willingly relinquish my appointment without some sort of an official notification. 1 have no intention of trying to break up the present Board of ‘Works, butdo not intend to heed anything the Council may do.” INDIGNANT BERKELEVANS, The Case of the Suspended “Josh” Editors to Be Written Up. A Feeling of éadness Over the Death of Henry Merrill—More Liquor Found. BERKELEY, CaL.,, Nov. 4.—The Josh staff held a meeting this afternoon for the purpose of appointing officers to fill the vacancies made by the suspension of the art editor and business manager, but be- fore an adjournment was called the con- ference savored much of an indignation meeting. It was the general expression of opinion that the faculty acted unjustly in suspending Steele and Robbins on such narrow grounds, and the staff, in order to make a public stand for the maintenance of its rights, appointed a committee of three to write up the case for the next number of the publication. Lioyd Baldwin 97 was appointed to fill the vacancy made by the dropping out of Steele, and’ Alfred {Viuinmu ’97 to fill the unexpired term of Robbins. It was rumored this afternoon that the class of 97 proposes to take up the matter which is now causing pain to the Josh staff and fight it to an issue. In Memory of Henry Merrill. A feeling of sadness was cast over the university to-day on agconus of the wagic liquor ordinance against him, yesterday, and found a decanter of rum. Death of Mrs. Mitchell.

AN EDITOR 1S ARRESTED, He Accused an Oakland Colored Social Leader of Dis- honesty. Result of a Struggle for the Leadership of the Afro-American Four Hundred. 0AxLAND OFfFIicE SAN Fravcrsco Cavrr,)’ 908 Broadway, Nov. 4. | U. B. Wilson, the colored editor of the San Francisco Elevator, was arrested to- day on a charge of libel preferred by ora- tor Thomas Pearson of this city. The arrest is the outcome of a long period of bitterness between the social fac- tions of this city, one led by Janitor Wilds of the City Hall and the other by Mr. Pear- son. Colonel Wilds is defended by the San Francisco Elevator and Mr. Pearson | by the Western Outlook, both organs of the colored race. Two weeks ago the Elevator published an article reflecting cn Mr. Pearson’s con- nection with the colored home for aged folks, which is being built at Beulah. It stated that Mr. Pearson was not in it for the good of his health. It also referred to Orator Pearson as “an incompetent politi- cal blatherskite.” The last straw that weighed Mr. Pearson down was an article published last Satur- day containing the following paragraphs: “Bat if Windy is permitted to do like he | was doing during the late county cam- paizn in Oakland—to have every pocket lled with tickets for the ertertainment that was given by the Oakland auxiliar: last November and sell them to the candi- dates, as he did upon that occasion, and not make a better showing in his report of money for the sale of the tickets than he did—it will do more harm than it will do it good. It is not proper to allow any one person unrestricted privileges in that re- spect. **If the report for the sale of the tickets during that election did not show $200 at least the home failed to get anywhere near the amount they- would have received from a live, wideawake ticket-seller. The ladies of the home must have an eye on their finances, and allow no one with a shady record to have an unlimited sway in collecting money for their home.”” CRUSHED HIS SKULL. A Laborer Accidentally Killed at the Pacific Rolling-Mills Last Night. Matthew Rush, a laborer employed on thenight shift at the Pacific Rolling-mills, met a horrible fate last night at 10:30 o’clock. He missed his footing and fell in a manner that brought his head between one of the sets of rollers. His brains were ;:‘gushed out before assistance could reach im. Rush was unmarried. was about 35 years oid, and lived at Farrell’s boarding- house at the corner of Maryland and Sierra streets, He is not known to have had any relatives in the City. s e Charged With Grand Larceny. Herman Vogelsanger,who was a bellboy in the Russ House last July, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Policeman Dugan on the charge of grand larceny. Among the articles he is charged with stealing are & gold watch and chain belonging to Mrs. Kimble, a fur cape and several spoons and towels. Most of the stolen Droperty reeavered. z A QUIET WAR IS STARTED. 0ld Long Haul Omaha Ticket Re- sumed by the Santa Fe System. HOW IT HURTS ITS BIG RIVAL. Means a Loss to the Southern Pacific of Over $10 for Each Passenger Pulled Away. The Santa Fe system has begun a rate war on the Southern Pacific in a quiet way. Asa starter it has resumed its old ticket to Omaha by way of Kansas City, and that ticket went into effect yesterday. At first glance this does not appear to be & very bold move, but when it is con- sidered that last June the pressure of the Southern Pacific was strong enough to cause the Santa Fe to abandon this ticket, which it had been issuing for years, the significance of the present move becomes somewhat apparent. . The passenger rate to either Omaha or Kansas City is $40; the rate to Omaha by way of Kansas City is $40. If a passenger buys a ticket direct to Omaha from the Southern Pacific that company’s propor- tion is $18 53; but if, instead, the ticket is bought by way of the Santa Fe system and Kansas City the Southern Pacific gets only $7 48. The scalper can afford to make a promise of rebate on arrival at Kansas City on such a ticket and sell the unused portion of its traveling value again at Kansas City for a_slight discount on the fare to Omaha, which by the St. Jo and Council Bluffs line is $5 90. By working through the scalpers the Santa Fe can realize a big share of travel, and the Southern Pacific loses the difference between $18 53 and $7 48 on each passenger it fails to send through Ogden. It is the quiet old game of playing the long *‘elbow” haul against the short direct run. With the Santa Fe road it is purely a matter of getting passenger business. A man can easily be induced by them to pur- chase the long-haul ticket in consideration of the arrangement they make to take it up at Kansas City. They make this ar- ranfiemem beforehand, practically buying back the portion to be unused before he urchases it, and giving him a ride to Kansas City for $36 50—that is, he pays $40in San Francisco and receives back $3 50 at Kansas City. “We simply upen the avaricious- lay ness of the raiFro-.\d companies,’”’ said a scalper on Market street, in explanation yesterday, *‘and the courts are with us. The Southern Pacific has everything its own way here and takes good care to_get ‘all the traflic will bear.’ In the East where there is plenty of competition every road does just what the Santa Fe is doing. Ifan Omaha man wants to come to San Francisco by way of Kansas City it won’t cost him a cent more than if he came direct. Why ehould we not do the same at this end?” The broker continued : The factisitis done all the time. It does not cost & man any more to go from here to St. Paul or Chicago by way of Paget Sound than if he goes direct, and the northern lines want all such business they can get for their pro- portion that is in it. “Say the fare from Seattle to St. Paul 1s §37 and the fare from here to Seattle is $22 50; that would be almost $60; well, we can send a man to St. Paul and clean through to Chicago by way of Seattle for just about what it would cost him if he was in Seattle for a ticket to St. Paul. Everybody knows that the railroads will offer better inducements to people living out- side their own territories than to those living right on their very lines. Tney bleed their own people all they can and charge almost as much from some interior point as they would for the entire distance between two terminal points. As I said, they are avaricious, and they offer all kinds of easy rates to induce people living remote from them to go over their lines. For instance, you in San Francisco can get a much better rate over the Northern Pacific, Great Northern or Canadian Pacific to the East than ersons living in interior places on those lines. Yt is because of their proportion of the rate that they reach out after business which would not come to them if they offered no special inducements. 1f they did notdo this kind of business they would simply go without the proportion of fare, and they might just as Woll have I &8 not théy think, So the quiet war is on, and there is no telling where it will eventually end. Gen- eral Passenger Agent Goodman is a little annoyed over it. He remarked that but for the desire the Southern Pacific had to work for California’s interest it would abandon the round-trip ticket to the East entirely. FROM THE FROZEN NORTH Several Whalers Arrive With Tales of Disaster and Suffering. The “Catch” Has Been Very Light and the Crews Will Have No Money to Spend. It was a disgruntied lot of men that gathered around the offices of the various whaling companies yesterday. With one exception, the entire fleet that left the Arctic for San Francisco, got in during the day, and not one of them had enough bone aboard to pay expenses. Some of the men spent two years in the ice, and when they come tobe ‘‘paid off,” will get a great big American dollar for the time they spent aboard the ship. Of course they received an “‘advance” before they signed articles, and while they were in the frozen north they probably drew liberally on the ‘‘siop chest,” so that the chances are that the man who is most ‘‘out and injured,” is the owner of the vessel. The whalers that got in yesterday were the steamers Orca and Thrasher and the barks Horatio and Hidalgo. Captain C. E. Weeks of the Thrasher fell down the open hatchway one afternoon and was killed. His body was brought to San Francisco on the steamer Jeanie. Captain ilton of the steamer Newport took com- mand of the Thrasher and brought her to San Francisco. ® Captain A. H. McGregor of the Orca isa disgusted man. During his year’s sojourn in the frozen north he and his crew only captured one whale, and that is the poor- est record he has ever made. “It was the 1ciest western season I have ever known,” said he yesterday. ‘‘Whales were plenti- ful, and Ky the aid of glasses we could see them spouting and blowing miles away from us. They might as well have been in the Southern Pacific as far as we were con- cerned. The ice had formed into a solid ack, and we could do nothing. Oh, it has geen a great vear—for the whales. “All told, about fifteen men of those who deserted got away from the winter fleet. They all had the gold fever and wanted to reach Forty-mile Camp. Of this number two reached St. Michaels, one was reported by the Indians as crazy in the mountains and the last heard of was trying to cross Orca Bay on a rait he had made out of two logs. "Altogether the season has been a disastrous one, and the men have not earned the money it cost to fit them out.” 3 The vessels that arrived yesterday were the Hidalgo, Orca, Charles W. Morgan, Alice Knowles and Lydia. The only other craft due from the Arctic is the William Baylies, and she was spoken on September 29 by the Hidalgo, so she ought to be here at any time. ‘The whalers due from the Okhotsk are the California, Andrew Hicks, Gayhead and Mermaid. They are said to have fair catches, but all in ail it has been an un- fortunate year, both for whalers and seal- ers. e REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.
