He advanced money and also took a contract to bwild a part of the line, taking the bonds as security. These bonds he held till his death, and as the interest was long in default he was the owner of the road, | although he had never foreclosed. This is the road on which the borax-miner, F. M. Smith, took an option that expired last month. Captain Smith was a familiar figure in the streets of Oakiand fora dozen years past. He lived in a very frugal manner, but was very charitable, and several tamilies were living on his beneficence. He always retained an interest in mines, and at the time of his death was the principal owner in one in Plumas and one in Cala- veras. The deceased man had lived eighty years. “Saturday Night'’ Appears, Oakland Saturday Night, a new week- ly edited and owned by Miss Mollie Con- ners, appeared this eve It is an ordinary six-column newspaper size and consists of eight readable pages.

The general idea is that the fair will be solely for the iisplay of articles manufactured or raised in this county. Such being the case, of course merchants would be prevented from making displays of their wares. Some merchants, however, feel that if they should be allowed to secure space for an exhibit they would perhaps cramp the iarters of the home manufacturer, thus reventing him from doing justice to the | rticles which he puts on the market. posed ¥ BLIND HOME CHARGES. The New Directors Are Prepared to Make Things Lively. Colonel James, one of the newly ap- pointed directors of the Home for the Adult Blind, says that thie grossest kind of mismanagement has been practiced by the recent board. He says the home is, as at | present conducted, *a disgraceful farce.” “The home was intended to be self-sup- porting, but at present its income is $170 a | month and there are 100 inmates. When | Governor Budd and I were there we asked ! Superintendent Sanders how many in- mates there were in the home, and he he did not know. These and other things have convinced me that there should be a change of officers at the home. Mr. San- | ders, the Superintendent a plind man, and while I do not doubt his honesty, still | 1 believe that there are many things about | the home which necessarily escape his at- | tention. In myopinion the home should be removed from its present location to a nt farther removed from town. This Id help a farm to be started thatwould | st in maintaining the home.” | Frank Leach, one of the two members of | the board not displaced by the Governor, | said last night: *Colonel James has been altogether misinformed regarding the | condition of affairs at the home. His figures on brooms only relate to one | grade, the very cheapest. His statement | that only two-fifths of the inmates are | kept at work is not true, as out of 1001n- | mates 90 are always at work., It is assumed by Colonel James that the insti- tution was intended to be, or ought to be, self-supporting; but the fact of the matter is that out of the many establishments to teach trades to the blind there is not one in the known world which is entirely self- supporting. Very few _come as near to it | ?;J :|oles the California Home for the Adult ind.” The statement of Colonel James makes it certain that Jack Hays, the son of the Texas ranger and former Sheriff of tbis county, will be appointed superintendent { at the next meeting of the board on the second Monday in December. | Captain Smith Dead. €aptain John W.

James Madison, who was arrested and brought to the City Jail last night charged with obtaining $1000 under promise of mar- risge from Mrs. Mary Gray, a widow, wrote his dupe a long letter, addressing her as ‘‘Dear Mammy,” offering to return her $1000 and to marry her. She called at the Chief’s office and accepted the money, but had no desire to become his bride. Aro Still Married. Judge Ogden decided to-day that neither John Breen, the Idrin postmaster, nor his wife, was entitled to a divorce.

The City Is a Worse Usurer Than the Old Tax-Title Shark. | IGNORANT OF THE NEW LAW. Auditor Snow Makes Remarks That Are of Vital Interest to All | Taxpayers. | | | | OARLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,) | 908 Broadway, Nov. 15. | It is evident that nearly every tax- payer in California is laboring under a de- ! lusion regarding the néw laws relating to | the sale of delinquent taxes. | ness with which taxes zre being paid 1n Oakland, notwithstanding that the levy is the lowest for years, caused Auditor Snow | to make an investigation, and he is per- | fectly satisfied that very few taxpayers are | acquainted with the new law now in | force. | “I could not help being surprised,” said the Auditor to-day, “‘at the slowness with which taxes are coming into the treasury. | | T knew there must be something that I was | not aware of operating in favor of slow | payments, and I commenced to investi- | gate. Then I found that very few if any | of the taxpayers bad read the new law. | The first part of the act provides that the | property is safe to the owner for at least five years, but the penalties for the de- | Jinquencies are very little known. It is| very dangerous for taxpayers to postpone | | the payment of their taxes with the idea | | that they are thereby safe. “The city is & worse tax-shark than any of tne old title-buyers ever were. “Under the old law the land-owner was protected by law for two years, but after that he was at the mercy of the tax-shark. | Under the new law the city buys the land | for delinquent taxesand hold them for fiwe | ears, at the end of which time the munici- | | pality can take possession. During those | | five years, however, the penalties increase | to a fearful amount and the taxpayers | | cannot too clearly understand this fact. | “Ihave madea calculation and I find that taxes amounting to $100 will in the five years amount to $251 55. This does | | not include the taxes for the four interven- | | ing years, but it is simply one year's de- | | linquency on With the intervening | penalties the vould nearly be | | consumed by cos s, The knowl- | | edge that the property is safe for five years | is causing the dilatory taxpayer to be more dilatory, but it is a false feeling of se- | curity. | *‘The new system is beautiful in theory, | but faulty in practice. The Auditor issues warrants each year for the full amount of the tax levy, and does not anticipate any ‘ delinquency, consequently every dollar | that is delinquent is that much debt car- | ried by the city to her contractors. They have no redress except to file their w: | rants and wait five years for the ci ]svll the property. To take an ext view of the sitnation, we may see the cit year after the first five from the p. | sage of the law, witk. thousanis of doll | worth of warrants on one hand, and with | numerous parcels of land to which she has acquired title on the other. Then she would have to hold a real estate auction to pay her debts. | “‘The system is impracticable, and as itis now heing severely tested its weak places are becoming more and more apparent.

After Nearly Forty Years of Service It Is Still ALz to Throw a Good Stream. OAgLAND OFFICE, SAN FrANcCIsco CALL,) Broadway, Nov. 15, | The Exempt Firemen of Oakland are making great efforts to raise sufficient money to, purchase the old hand engine that was first put in service in San Fran- cisco in the '50's. It was last stationed at Haywards, but is now on exhibition in this city. “‘Sailor Eight,” as the old engine used to be called in its early days, is a very solid and bandsome engine. When it first came to the coast it was stationed on Pacific strect, San Francisco, and used to be No. 8. Its volunteer crew was com- posed entirely of water-front men, and it soon became knownin the old volunteer department as *Sailor 8. ‘When the water came up to Montgom- ery street “‘Sailor 8" was one of the busiest | engines in the metropolis, and . scores. of: veterans have helped pull_and pump the old-fashioned machine. - When the San Francisco department was.turned into a paid-organization **Sailor8” was purchased by the Brooklyn volunteér depariment. At thattime Brooklyn was a town inde: pendent of -Oakland and had a fire depart- ment of its own. S 2 At Brooklyn the. engine did much good:| service. but when: Oakland organized a. paid. fire department, and Brooklyn be- came a part _of this city, old “Sailor’” was purchased - by the Haywards -volunteer fire department. Tt has not. been‘idle in | ‘the interior town during the past few years, althougti the demands upon it have not been near'y ‘so numerous as during that portion of its life on the San Francisco water front.. : g “Many a hand now under. the sod has worked those handles,’’ said Miles Doody, foreman of -the Exempts to-day, ‘“Over thirty years ago, when' the old engine was stationed at .Brooklyn, I-took a hand at working those levers, “I. can call to mind many comrades who are not ‘only exempt from fire duty, but-from all other kinds of earthly-duty. When the old “Sailot” 8’ first-.came 10 Brooklyn James Mofiitt.was the foreman of the volunteer company.. He, -like many_others, made a good record -and passed away since then. Now "the x- empts want that engine asa relic_of the days when men and boys- handled the ropes and.dragged it to a - fire. It is a beautiful specimen-of the.pioneer type of tire engine and js in splendid working order. - We have a little money, and I hope that. énough will be subscribed to urchase it.

DEFICOLTY T0 COLLECT, The 1 | Fruitvale = Improvement Company Is Declared Insolvent. The Corporation Owes $118,608 42 and Has Assets Said to Be Worth $205,233-49. The Fruitvale Improvement Company has failed for $118,694 42, The’ petition in insolvency was filed with the County Clerk yestérday. The assets of the company are more than enough to pay all debts, but it is evident that an inability to collect accounts due is responsible for the distressed financial con- dition of the corporation. There are over 150 accounts due and payable included in the schedules, some of which-have been | running for a long time. The assetsall | told. amount to $205,233 49, and the ac- counts mentioned make up the greater part of it. The cornpany was formed. for the pur- pose of planting and cultivating vineyards and orchards and of harvesting the crops from them and disposing of the same. It was formed in May, 1892, and since then hasaccumulated a large business in the interior districts. On.November 12 the stockholders met to consider the-con- dition of affairs which presented itself, and in pursuance of that meeting the petition in insolvency was filed. The schedules seem to show that most of the business of the concern was done at Fresno, for the labor accounts dué are nearly all entered there. ‘There is also a note due. the Occi- dental Land Investment Company . for $51,200, ‘and a few others runmning .from $2500 to $11,000. . By far "the greater num- ber of debts due, however, are in small labor accounts. 2 Among the assets of the.company are a note from the Empire Vineyard and Or-| chard Company for $33.483 65 and one from the Atlas Vineyard and Orchard Company for $62,388 65.. T'he real estate owned by the company is valued at $7000 and this is incumbered by claims -and - ‘mortgages amounting to $4865.
