Faessler came into notice about two years ago, when she filed divorce proceed- 1gs against her husband, but was ae- feated. She then horsewhipped him one night on Washington street, where he had a jewelry store. Later she threatened to shoot him and wrote letters to Judge Ells- worth threatening him and charging a conspiracy against her. Last fall she was given leave of absence from the asylum, and while at home wrote Judge Elisworth removing him from the bench. Later she repented and appointed him back to his position. Mrs. Faessler, the woman who was or- dered back to Stockton Asylum by Judge Greene to-day, created ascene this even- ing at the home of her parents. The nurse who accompanied Mrs. Faessler from the asylum to be examined allowed her to Eo to her family this evening. When the visit shouid have ended the nurse could not mduce her charge to leave. She went out to ask help and then the unfortunate woman’s parents bolted the door. Deputy Sheriff Lane and Officer Masky had to break in the door to regain posses- sion of Mrs. Faessler. The mother clung to the daughter and much persuasion and some force were necessary to induce the relatives to allow Mrs. Faessler to go back to the County Jail. Cannot Collect Pole Tax.

The matter of finding out 10 whom the poles belong is very difficult.

Shattuck Avenue to Be Paved — A Library Offered to the Town. University Notes. BERKELEY, Nov. 9. — An important meeting was held here last evening by the Town Trustees. The committees appointed to prepare estimates on the schoolhouses and sites and the proposed new wharf filed their reports, which will be considered at an adjourned meeting to be held Wednes- day evening. An estimate of the cost of a suitable site for the High School building was set at $10,000, and of a site for the North Berkeley school at $8000. | The committee on bonding the town for | awharf at West Berkeley reported that in order to obtain a depth of 13:6 feet at mean high tide it will be necessary to extend the wharf to a distance of one and three- | fourths nautical miles. The probable cost | of constructing the wharf will be about | $81,500, divided a&s follows: Roadway (30 | feet wide) $55,000, bunkers $7000, warehouse | $2000, scales $500. In this estimate no pro- vision is made for the water service, which several citizens claim should have been provided for.

Their estimates on the various kinds of work were as follows: Macadamizing, 734 paving gutters, E cents; cents; culverts th crosswalks, ; culverts, 40c; crosswalks relaid, 25 cents. 9l An ordinance prohibiting the obstrue- | | tion of streets without permission, under | a penalty of $50, and another requiring | sewer contractors to furmsh bonds for | leaving the streets in their original condi- | tion, were passed to print. | I, K.

TRUSTEE WASTE'S SOLUTION. Faith-Healers and Millennium-Watch- .ers Must Not Deface the Building. OARTAND OFrFicE SaN Francisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Nov. 9. | The trustees of Asbury Methodist Churgh were requested at yesterday's meeting to adjudicate one of the oddest questions that has ever come before a church board. Attached to the Asbury Churceh is a large meeting-hall. It is the first story of the building, and it is on account of the many creeds that are preached in this hall that the present difliculty arose. Of course the church members think they have the exclusive right to whatever popularity attaches to the building as Asbury Qhurch. The church as well, howe\:er, is popular and has a large mem- bership. Two weeks ago they engaged a new pastor, Rev. H. W. McKnight, and naturally McKnignt is somewhat jealous of the reputation of his church. When the new pastor went to his church a few mornings ago he thought some one had been playing a prsctica% joke on the pub- licat his expense, or on him at the ex- pense of the public. .On one side of the church door was a sign which read, “Asbury Methodist Church. Divine healing meetings every week.” Just above it was a sign which read, “Asbury Methodist Church. =Divine healing-fakers exposed. Meetings twice a week.' The new pastor knew nothing about divine healing, either genuine or fake, and, as he passed the corner of his church he saw on the other side a notice, as fol- lows: “‘Asbury Methodist Church. Regu- lar meeting of the Watchers once a week. Prepare for the end of the world, which may come daily.”” This scmewhat angered Mr. McKnight. Te knew nothingof a church society called ‘‘the watchers,” and he certainly had not calculated to a week or so just when the world would end. Hardly had the new pastor recovered from his surprise when he reud on another placard, Methodist Church. Lecture by Professor Le Conte before Institute of Applied Christianity Monday night.” The pastor read it and wondered what | would come next. It came. There was a little bulletin-board which stated that the building was the Asbury Methodist church, ard thav orthodox Christianity was regu- larly preached within its walls. Several members thought that these i were all fads of the new Zpastor and to Trustee W. H. Waste. “The trustee to the church and itlooked like a wall used for advertising. Then an explanation was made. Tk ver part of the church was rented parties, each of whom advocated a_different creed. There was the Divine Healing Association, who believed in faith g at long range, and the Church of Christ, headed by Dr. Truesdell, who be- lieved only in healing at short range. The regular church congregation gath- n the hall recently to hold their reg- ular prayer-meeting and they were sur- prised to find several anatomical charts on the wall. One of these professed to show the evilsof smoking and another the danger of tight lacing. Trustee Waste was shocked and immediately turned the pictures to the wall. The sect known as the Watchers also meets at the church, and, under the leader- ship of Rev. J, H. Allen, pray and look for the second coming. A few weeks ago they waited in vain for many hours and con- cluded that the reason the world was not already ended was owing to some miscal- culation of the man who fixed the time of the stars and planets. All these creeds reckoned on the popu- larity enjoyed by thechurch to heip their causes. They stole thelegitimate church’s thunder as it were, and when the new pastor came he was surprised fo see how ireely the little army of heterodox teach- ers used Asbury Church to help them pull their chestnuts out of their fire. *The matter was reported to me,” said Trustee Waste to-day, “and it was very plain that something must be done to pre- sarve the dignity of our church. We rent the lower part as a business proposition, and we find that instead of renting to in- dividuals in some instances we have rented it to organizations. Until these organiza- tions were in opposition to each other we had no trouble, but when each creed began | lacarding the church the affair became udicrous and ridiculous. It was evident that some of the parties were knowingly trading on the popularity of the church. This we could not allow, and so we had a special meeting of the trustees ‘fresterdzy and decided that nobody should be given the privilege to postany placards on the | church except the Asbury Methodist Church proper. Our chureh'is the quiet- est public building in town and 1s in de- mand by many classes of people, but we would much rather prefer not to rentatall than do so with a loss of dignity.”’ MRS, ZEIST'S EXPERIENCE, Her Servant Runs the House in Her Absence on a Novel Plan, Three Deaths in Alameda Yesterday.

RECOGNIZED BY HIS DAUGHTER. Two Witnesses in the Investigation Held by the Prison Directors. The members of the State Board of Prison Directors spent most of their time yesterday in listening to testimony con- cerning charges against Warden Hale of San Quentin. The investigation had been continued from their previous meeting, but though five witnesses were examined the investigation is not yet ended, and a special session will be called shortly to conclude the matter. The charges against the Warden allege that he permitted a prisoner undergoing sentence to visit San Francisco with no guard other than a woman dressed in black. They are advanced by Mrs. Gardiner, the divorced wife of George Gardiner, who is the convict in question. One night a young man, accompanying Gardiner’s daughter from an entertain- ment, was met at the door by her father, who shot and killed him without a word of warning. For this, after a desperate legal battle, he was sentenced to imprison- ment for life, the jury reaching the ver- dict only after sixty hours of deliberation. After Gardiner’s incarceration his wife instituted proceedings for a divorce on the statutory ground that her husband had been conyicted of afelony. While the case was pending she received several threaten- ing and abusive letters from her husband, which were mailed in this City by Warden Hale. Her attorney complained” of thes letters and they ceased, but shortly after- ward, she says, she saw heér husband, dressed in citizen's garb, stanaing at the iront steps of Ler then residence on Golden Gate avenue, while a woman dressed in black rang the doorbell. The door was not opened and the couple walked away together. Warden Hale has repeatedly denied the truth of these charges, but they could not be thus set at rest, and finally the present investigation was determined on at Hale's own request. In anticipation then of the taking of testimony every member of the Board of Prison Directors was early on hand. present, attend and the investigation proceeded without him, Henry 1. Fisher, a reporter on the Chronicle who had written some of the published stories concerning the matter, was the first witness called. He told of hearing about the charges and of investigating them before writing his story. He hadinterviewed Lawyer Colton, Gardiner’s attorney in the divorcs suit. Henry Eichoff accompanied him. Mrs. Gardiner had told what she knew, and being convinced of-fhe truth of her | tale he had spoken to ex cerning it. Mr. Sonntag had acknowledged hearing of the charges a month or two before the end of nis term of office. He had spoken to Warden Hale about it, but “Mr. Hale threw up his hands and treated the matter lightly.” Mr. Sonntag had inves- fublished it. He had also -Prison Director Sonntag con- tigated the matter personally and had been | convinced that the charges were true, but did not bring the matter before the board | gro as “his term was nearly ended and he wanted to get out of “office without a scandal.” ‘When cross-examined by Director Devlin Mr. Fisher declined to give the name of his first informant, as he regarded that as a newspaper secret. He had met a man Friday night who claimed to have seen Gardiner and the woman on the train at Greenbrae and who said that Warden Hale himself drove them to tne station. He did not know that he was at liberty to reveal the man’s name, but would obtain | his permission if possible. Mrs. Gardiner was then called. Sheisan elderly lady whose brown hair is slightly streaked with gray. She repeated the clos- ing words of the oath in a voice full of emotion, and told her story in a manner which plainly revealed that whether ornot she is mistaken in her identification of George Gardiner she believes every word of ber story to be truth. She said: George Gardiner did come to the City on Sep- tember 4, 1893. Isaw him on that day. I had a lady friend stopping with me at that time. She was preparing to go out and asked me the time. It was 10 minutes past 10 o’clock. Just then the doorbell rang. She said she would go to the door, but she went instead to the bay- window and looked out. She suw George Gardi- ner and recognized him. She knew him. She came and told me, and 1 thought she must be crezy; but 1 thought he mi]gm hikve been par- doned, o I went and looked, too. I saw him., He was standing at the foot of the steps, He had on a dark-colored suit. He wore a slouch hat ana dark glasses. He was leaning on a cane. The house is-1217 Golden Gate avenue.

She was dressed in black. She rang the bell three or four times while we watched. No one answered the door and they walked away to- gether. Iwatched them to the corner. On _cross-examination, Mrs. Gardiner stated that her lady friend was her daugh- ter. The daughter is now in the East and will not be available as a witness. Her husband wore an overcoat. He looked up and down the street while waiting, She dia not open the door because she did not think it advisable to speak to George Gardiner, She did not care to meet him. She apprehended danger from him. “How did you see him ?’ asked Director Hayes.” “Isaw him as plainly as I see you now,” was the reply. Mrs. Gardiner spoke of the “terrible” letters she had received from her husband. She had told Lawyer Colton about the whole thing. The matter had been a severe shock to her and she had been seriously ill in consequence. As far as she knew she and her daughter were the only persons who knew of their own Enowledge that Gardiner had yisited the Jity. “The cross-examination of Mrs. Gardiner Wwas very exhaustive, but 1t failed to shake her testimony. At its conclusion Warden Hale explained how he ‘““came to mail the Gardiner letters innocently.” He stated that he permitted gny convict who desired to send out letters outside of the regular channels to bring them to him personally and he mailed them. Gardiner had abused his trust and he had ‘“talked to him. Never mind just what he said.” g After lunch Captain Alden, the assistant commissary, was sworn. He produced the department books—a dozen or more—and showed entries in Gardiner's handwriting on the date in qguestion. He thought it impossibie that any other man could have kept the memoranda on slips of paper and have had Gardiner enter them up after- ard. 7 4 anrdiner was called. He identified his writing in each instance, but swore that he could make all the entries shown in twenty minutes, if he got all the requsi- tions at one time. 2 Major Sharp, the commissary, was sworn. In his opinion, judging from the books and their “entries, it was physicaliy impossible for Gardiner to have been ab- sent on that day. s He had never loaned him his coat or glasses. The Warden was then put under oath. He had never driven Gardiner or any other convict to the station. Gardiner had never to his knowledge been absent from the rison. 'No prisoner could be absent an gonr without the officers’ knowl as they were cbecked into and out of the Governor Budd had intended to be | but telephoned his inability to prison at two gates, and the checkings must agree. William McLaughlin was sworn. He is employed at the prison as a driver. In Sgp!em_ber, 1893, he was employed as now “in driving a bit now amf then and in doing something else when I am not driving.”’ Gardiner, he said, had never sat in a cart which he had ever driven. He had not driven the convict back from the station after his alleged visit to San Francisco. At this point the investigmbion rested till more witnesses can be secured. Before the matter was dropped, however, the Warden made a statement with some show of feel- ing. “I recognize,” he said, ‘‘that these are not the only charges against me. I am aware that the head of the State Government is a Democrat, and I am aware that one member of this board isa Democrat. But I ask—no, I demand—of Governor Budd and Mr. Fitzgerald the closest investigation of my conduct of this Pprison, both financially and otherwise.” PRISON DIRECTORS MEET. Dr. W. M. Lawler Appointed Resident Physi- + oian at %u Quentin, The Board of State Prison Directors met at San Quentin yesterday, Messrs. De Pue, Devlin, Fitzgerald, Hayes and Neff being Ppresent. Friend & Terry of Sacramento were awarded the contract for furnishing lumber for the rock-crnshing plant at Folsom. Their bid was $17 50 a thousand for lumber and $1 75 for shingles. The mill boilers were ordered insured for $40,000 with the Pacific Surety Company for oneyear. The premium was $120. The contract for furnishing 1000 bales of jute by steamer shipment and 2000 bales by salling vessel was awarded to Perrott & { Co. rner bid was $3 08 for steamer ship- | ment and §2 7714 by saling vessel. There are now 1817 baies of jute on hand, enough to keep the mill running to the middle of March. The new purchase will arrive about May next. On December 1 the jutemill will be shut down for general repairs, and at that time extensive changes in the personnel of the mill officers will be effected. Superintend- ent A. S. Butterworth will be removed, Joseph Fauikner, the bead spinner, will resign as requested by Warden Hale. Chief Weaver Fred Werner and Assistant J. Smith will probably lose their official heads, as they hold office at the pleasure of the superintendent. Chester Edwards, juteworker, has already been removed and J, Brown installed in hisplace. John Rutherford of the California Coftton-mills of Bast Oakland is to be the new superin- tendent of the mill. The change issaid to be the result of dis- | satisfaction in the board of directors over the constantly decreasing output of the mill. Thesuperseded officials claim that the falling off is due to the inefficient force of men assigned to millwork, and blame the Warden and the board. One of them promises to have a story to tell within a | few days. Dr. W. M. Lawler was apvointed prison physician. He was formerly quarantine officer at this port. The board restored twelve days’ credits | to Convict George Harris, who had for- feited thirty days for insolence. It was recommended that the Governor commute the sentence of Louis E.Ewing of Los Angeles thirty-two days. He was detained | that length "of time’ after sentenceas a witness for the State. The board will meet at Folsom on the 16th inst. LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENC. Arrived. SATURDAY, Novembens.
