Miss Sparbawk is the nurse who was em- ployea at Professor Mooar's house last August when Miss Jennie Lewis was shot to death by a man alleged to be Lewis Muhlner. She is the chief witness for the prosecution and on her testimony hangs the fate of Muhiner. Immediately after until Crowley is believed to be out of reach. Marshal Ramage of this place has advised Sheriff White to secure some bloodkounds and put them on the trail. As Crowley is known to have doubled on | his trail more than once it is not thought ‘ that the hounds would be serviceable. The canyons begin within half a mile of here, and it is possible for a man to con- ! ceal himself so that he would not be seen, | though but ten yards away. Crowley has ‘evidently become so em- | boldened b{ his success in evading capture that he will, it is tbought, run his ad | into a noose before many days. His bold- i ness is evidently greater than his judg- | ment, and if he is captured it will be ac- complished through his own overdaring. THE FIRST VICTIM.

An excellent programme of vocal and instrumentel music bas been prepared for the occasion. Fire at West End. An alarm from box 15 was rung in this evening for a fire at 1150 Prospect street. The premises were occupied by Louis Ling. Mrs. Ling had one of her hands severely cut by pushing it through a pane of glass, The damage done was nominal, CABLE FOR SEATTLE.

Sheriffs of Two Counties Are Out With Posses, but Crowley Evades Them. HAYWARDS, Nov. 20.—Members of the sheriffs’ posses that returned to town to-night have seen no trace of Phil Crow- ley, for whom they are searching, but evi- dence of his whereabouts was known last night by James Murray, who was stood u by the bandit on the Mount Eden road robbed. This evening the members of both EO“ were called in to report and consult, ut nothing was learned, although it is thought that Crowley is heading for Mount Dm. The search will not be abandoned i I do not know | y will not tell me ! But he ran up the ladder, and when he got upon the drift where the engine had peen he was overcome with the gasand died of suffocation. His body was not discovered until this morning. The mine took fire after the explosion, and, as they could not reach their imprisoned comrade, they pumped air into the mine all night, hoping that he had remained where he would have been safe. After the flames were extinguished this morning they ventured into the mine and found Rassia’s dead body. The other miners were somewhat burned by the ex- plosion, but not dangerously. The dam- age was about $1000. The mine was for- merly known as the Eureka, when it was owned by John Treadwell. There was great_excitement here when the news came into town, and a large crowd went out to the scene, which is about fourteen miles away. Coroner Baldwin came up from Oakland to-night to hold an inquest. BURGLARIES IN BERKELEY, People Alarmed Over a Series of Crimes Fortify Their Homes. | The Meat Supply Inspected and One Piece of Food Is Condemned. Football Tickets. BERKELEY, CaL., Nov. 20.—-Robbers have baen running rife in Berkeley for the past four weeks. FEight cases of either burglary or attempt at burglary have been | recorded, and the police have not been | able as yet to apprehend a singie thief, The residence of 3irs. Hoyt on Blake | strect was broken into and a valuable suit | of clothes and an overcoat were taken yes- terday. The house of Professor Sangster on Blake street was ransacked and a set of carpenters’ tools valued at $25 taken. So numerous have been the thefts that the townspeople have begun to fortify their homes with shotguns and pistois. Sale of Football Tickets. The collega sale of tickets for the Thankagiviuf football game opened this morning, and by nightfall upward of 1400 were disposed of. To-morrow will be the last day of sale at the university, after which date they may be secured at Clabrough & Golcher'sgnd E. T, Allen’s, Ban Francisco. Two hundred and fifty seats have been set aside for the exclusive use of Stanford male students. The sec- tion will be known as the Stanford *“rooters.” Inspection of Meat Markots. The tide of meat inspection reached Berkeley to-day. Health Oilicer Rowell, accompanied by Dr. Jacksen, an Oakland expert, visited the various butcher-shops of the town, but discovered only one piece of meat unfit for use. The inspectors went the rounds at 5 o'clock in the morning, ustat the hovr the wagons mnluflfy oaded, and careful examinations were made of the shops, storerooms and wagons, with the result that only one piece was condemned. .

After the close of the debate to-night by the students’ congress on the abolition of football in its present form the large as- semblage of college men joined in_practic- infidl’rofauor C. M.

Mr. Bacon was 40 yearsold and a native of Missouri. He came to i- | forcia about twenty-five years ago and en- gaged in the stage business. GENERAL ATHLETICS. Reliance and Olympie Football Teams. Challenge Accepted. The much-talked-of football match be- tween the Reliance and Olympic Club foot- ball teams will take place Saturday alter- noon at Central Park, and it goes with- out saying that this game will be the sharpest and most stubborn contest played 5o far this season. As there isno very friendly feeling still existing oetween the clubs, owing to the misunderstandings that resulted in the making up of the teams in the early part of the season, the friends of either side ex- pect to see some hard playing on Saturday next, and in all probabiiity they will not be disappointed. The Rehance Ciub play- ers recently returned from the north, after having handsomely disposed of every team they encountered on the gridiron while away from home. The Buite City players gave the Oaklanders a close race for place, and if the latter will prove able to defeat the Olympic boys on Saturday, it woula be only reasonable to conclude that the Reliance kickers will win from the Butte City team again when they will play their second game in this Ci HEARD A WOMAN'S VOICE: Some Light Thrown on the Mys- terious Shooting of a Band Leader. The Assailant Was Hidden Behind the Fence Surrounding a Well- Known Cottage. PLEASANTON, CaL, Nov. 20.—The shooting of Richard Foley in this city last Monday morning by an unknown assailant has stirred up more excitement than has been known here since the discovory of | natural gas some years ago. It is thought | that Foley will die, and so far but little light has been thrown upon the mystery. The wounded man still insists that he does not know who shot hil or why he was assaulted. He says he was going homeat | 2o0’clock on Monday morning, and, while ssing the residence of Mrs. Alviso on Second street, he was shot by some person inside the fence of Mrs. Alviso's yard. He did not see any cne, but when told to-day that Mrs. Alviso had said she knew noth- ing about it he gasped, “It’s a lie. I recog- nized her voice.” Mrs. Alviso 1s a petite brunette and the mother of several children. She and her husband have not been living together for | several years. Her husband is now work- ing on'a ranch in the neighborhood of Livermore and his wife says she hasnot | seen him for months, and that she does | not believe he was anywhere near the house the night of the shooting. She says that when they lived together he was | jealous of her, and was always opposed to her receiving company. Itisthought that the mystery will be cleared up in the | i of the Alviso cottage and the | shal i vatching certain alleged | Richard Koley is a native son and is 27| years oid. Some years ago he enlisted as | member of the band of the First Infantry | stationed at Angel Islani. He has distin- guished himself as a cornetist, and retired | from the service to assist his father on the | orchard. He is a splendid specimen of | manhood, being three inches over 6 feet | tall and weighs over 200 pounds. Foley is a teacher of the Livermore cornet band, | and is well known in this section of the county. His many friends are leaving no | | stone unturned to attempt to unravel the | i mystery. The residents would not be sur- | prised’to hear of some startling develop- | | ments. ‘I'he District Attorney sent Deputy Moore here to take Foley's dying statement, but | as he believes he will get well he refuses | to talk, any further than that he is 1gnor- | ant of the circumstances attending the shooting.

ROME'S RED SCHOOLHOUSE. A Claim That the Church Saved Learn- ing and Favored the Spirit of Invention. A meeting was held at Metropolitan Temple on Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Y. M. C. U. The lecture was delivered by Rev. Father Yorke. The doors were thrown open at 7 o'clock, and ten minutes afterward every seat was occupied. By the time for the opening of the meeting, 8 o’clock, the sidewalks all round the hall were blocked. The decorations of the hall consisted mainly of American flags, and bunting displaying the National colors. The mem- bers of the Y. M. C.U. and a number of clergymen were on the stage. P. Molloy, grana president of the Y. M. €. U., pre- sided. Miss Kittie Black sang ““The Star-span- gled Banner,” and, after a few introductory remarks by Mr. Molloy, Father Yorke ad- dressed the meeting. He said: The title of this lecture is “Rome's Red Schoolhouse.” It is designed as an answer to the charges which have been urged against the church in the matter of education. Ihave remarked that my dear friends, the preachers, generally commence their lectures by What they call a prelude. Tam not very certain as to what is the nature of a prelude, but I think I will try my hand at one to-night. For the last monih this hall has been the scene of five lectures. The first was an answer to mine by Rev. J. A. Lansing. The second was aiso by Rev. J. A. Lansing. The third was by General Morgan (and such a general!). The fourth was by Rev. W. 5. Bovard, the gentleman who is now engaged 1n a delightful controversy over & punchbow!, and the last, but by no means the least, was that brand new American, Reyv. Donald M. Ross. Iintend to devote some time 10 each of these lectures. Rev. Mr. Lansing complimented the Chron- icle on the fullness of the report which it gave of his Jecture. Therefore I use the Chronicle as an authentic record of what these gentiemen seid. Mr. Lansing deprecates the fact that the publieation of his lecture brought upon him what Le calls personal abuse. 1t is very sirange that men can come here out of the Eastand vi- tuerate everything that Catholics hold dear. and yet when Catholics try to defend the honor of their homes and their character as citizens they are accused of personal abuse. Mr. Lansing stated (and I read from the Chronicle) thatat the battle of Churubusco, & convent was captured in which were found 200 deserters from the American army, and that these 200 deserters were Irish and Catho- lics. This extraordinary piece of information office, War Department, Washington, asking if there were any official record of these 200 deserters, of their nationality and of thelr reli- gion. This is the answer. which I shali read to you: 3 WAR DEPARTMENT, ADITTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE, WasH Nov. 2, 1895. Sir; In reply to your of the 25th ult. I the army belong: that in the capture of the con- yoRe st Churubusco, Mexico, August 20, 1847, 200 persons were taken, and that the official re- ports of the as ow that any deserters from ihe United Siates army were among the per- sons captured. Very respectfully 3! V. Gromax, Assistant Adjotant-General. There appears to be a certain doubt as to the identity of this Rey, J, A. Lansing, At times he is set down as the author of a book called “Romarism and the Republic.” Ifso, he isthe | reverend gentieman who ata public meeting | last spring aceused President Cleveland of in- lemdperlnce and to whom President Cleveland paid hiscompliments in an interview, in which e siated that “this is simply an outrage, though it is not the first time & thing of this kind has been attempted. I cennot avoid a feeling of indignation that any man who mekes claims to decency,and especially one who assumes the role of a Cbristian minister, should permit himself to become the dissemi- nator of wholesale lies and calumnies, not less stupid than they are er icl and wicked.” The second star in the constellation was the Rev.

The reeord of this reverend and military gentle- man can be found inthe headquarters of the Second Division, Department of the Cumber- | 1and,Cnastanoogs, Tenn., July 10, 1863, general order23.
