PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY. An Active Life Replete With Wise Benevolence and Marked by Business Success. MILL VALLEY, Car., Nov. 23.—Joseph G. Eastland, the wellsknown miltionaize banker, died at his home in Mill Valley to-day after an illness extending over a number of months, Mr. Eastland leaves 2 widow and two children. While on a trip to the capital of the State last September Mr. Eastland caught what he then supposed was a &light cold, but which afterward proved to be quite serious. He immediately lefi Sacramento and took up his quarters at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, where he was struck with paralysis, which affected hisr entire right side and made his speech diffi- cult and thi At times it was impossi- ble to distinguish his words and he lay on | the bed suffering agonies. | After he had been at the hotel for aver a | month his physician considered him suffi- | ciently recovered to pe able to be moved to l aged, and the sailors say that she struck on_Noonday rock. In consequence she will be quite a while on the ways, and it will cost considerable to repair her. Mrs. Harriet Avery, who sailed on the steamer City of Sydney to jein the De Ojeda family at San Jose de Guatemala, is not the widow of the commander of the unfortunate Colima. Captain Taylor was in command of the Colima eyhen she went down and Captain Avery was master of the Colon. He died of pneumonia when on bis way to San Francisco. The steam schooner Lakme has changed bands. Yesterday Charles Nelson bought her from C. A. Hooper and she will be put in the lumbr trade.” Her first trip wilFba from the Sound to San Pedro, and from the latter port she will come to San Fran. cisco and load merchandise for Central America. The wheat crop in Australia has been a failure, and the millers in Sydney and Melbourne are in straits for grain with which to make flour, The steamer Kahului left last Friday with 1100 tons and now other vessels are being chartered to go to the South Seas. The British ship Cardi- ganshire and the American ships-Snow and Burgess have been secured, and just as soon as their cargoes are discharged they will load wheat for New South Wales. Other vessels are wanted, and it is ex- pected that over ten thousand tons of wheat will be shipped to Australia withina fortnight. ROBBED A STORE. Two Young Men Making Their Way to This City From Freestone, Sonoma County. Chief Crowlev received a dispatch yes- terday from W. M. Richardson of Free- stone, Sonoma County, that two men, who had robbed his store on Wednesday night, had been seen traveling in the direction of San Francisco. They are young men of dark complexion, one about 5 feet 8 inches tall and the other about 5 feet 10 inches, THE LATE JOSEPH G. [From @ photograph.] EASTLAND. 1 his home in Mill Valley. He was taken | n an ambulance and ar- rived here in an utterly helpless condition, | It was then thought™ by his doctor and | family that he could not_live over a week, | During his illness kis wife was at his bed- | side continuously, and where it was pos- | sible did everything for the dying mman | that could be expected of a loving wife. | She would give him his medicine and read to him, and in eve: try to make his | last moments as e as_possible. He passed away to-day as quietly as a child going to sleep, and_did not recognize the people at his bedside. Eastland is a director’ in the San Francisco Gaslight Company, and was | president of the Oakland Gas Company. | He was also interested in numerous elec- tric-licht and iand companies.

Heavy Consignments of Coal Are Keeping All the Hoppers on the Front Busy. The coal merchants are using their best endeavors to get the ships that arrived during the past few weeks unloaded. Every dock is crowded, and there is not an idle hopper on the water front. The ves- sels have to be unloaded on time, or the owners of the coal will have to pay de- murrage. “This is the busiest time we have had in five years,”” said H. Roberts yesterday. “0ld hoppers that I had not used fora long time have been called from their re- tirement and are once more in active ser- vice. In fact, I don’t think there is a coal- hopper, old or new, on the water front that is not in use.” There are still a dozen shipsin the bay that have yet to discharge, but the price of “black diamonds” is still maintained at the old rate. The English tramp steamer Progressist is damaged to a greater extent than was at first surmised. When she came back to San Francisco it was thought that only a Herman Edward.

Now that she has been put on the dry dock it is seen that the huil is dam- | weighing respectively about 160 and 175 pounds. They wore black slouch hats, dark clothes, and were armed with a re- volver each, and one had a shotgun. They took $450 in gold and $100 in silver from the store. Areward of $250 is offered by Mr. Richardson for the arrest of the two men and the recovery of the stolen money. Each of the detectives was furnished with a copy of the description of the two men, and a copy was sent to each of the police stations to be read to the different watches. The description is not unlike that of the two men who murdered Alired Neville, the carpenter, in Eichhorst’s grocery on Green- wich and Pierce streets Sunday night. It is not considered improbable that Neville's murderers might have made their way to | Sonoma County and robbed Richardson’s store in Freestone, so as to furnish them g;t{] a supply of funds to get out of the ate. A MID-TERM CONCERT. Fine Programme Rendered at Mills Col- lege Conservatory Last Evening. The mid-term concert of Mills College conservatory held at the college last even- ing wasa marked success in many par- ticulars and was attended by akout 300 people. Seminary Hall, where the con- cert was held, was handsomely decorated with palms, ferns and flowers, and the programme, which was participated. in by the under-graduates of the ciasses of the late Professor Rosewald, Professor Weber, Miss Morey and Miss Gilbert, was admirably rendered throughout, = the choruses conducted by Professor Smith being particularly entertaining and effec- tive. The concert wnsg\nesided over by Professor Louis Liffer. Following is the programme. Part I—‘Peasants’ Wedding March (Soeder- mann), arranged by J. H. Rosewald, choral class; Selection from J.

AUCTION OF COUNTRY REALTY. The Bay Forest Farm, Near Redwood City, to Pass Under the Hammer. The nlext auction in the real-estate mar- ket of note will be of the Bay Forest farm, located one mile from the thriving town of Redwood City. Thisis considered one of the most valuable properties iu that sec- tion, which is one of the most picturesque romons of that part of Santa Clara Val- ey nearest San Francisco. The topo- raphy of the land is broken with grand y and valley views. Families of wealth surround this property for miles with their suburban villas.” The educational advantages of this locality are unsur- }masod, being but a few miles from Stan- ord University and other educational in- stitutions of note. In this neighborhood one finds perhaps the most prasperous and thickly settled portion of the)State. The climate is delightful, healthy and upex- celled. The water supply is abundant and the soif the most fertiie.” It is safe to say no better suburban home can be found. | The sale will be conducted by the real- estate firm of McAfee Bros. of this City.

LIS SONS CELEBRATE, Fifth Annual Dinner of the Yale Alumni Asso- ciation. MUSIC, MIRTH AND MEMORIES, 0ld Songs, Old College Cries and Old Sentiments Revived at the the Banquet Table. There was a merry band of light-hearted boys in the grillroom of the California Hotél last evening. There was a plentiful array of whiskers' among the youths; there was even an occasional bzld pate or silver lock, but when the vociferous “Rah! Rah! Rah!” invented by Yale as the most effective meuns of making a noise, was started with the advent of the wine they were all twenty. The grillroom was made particularly attractive for the occasion. In the center was a bower of palms. About the walls were draped the National colors and at the head of the tables was a large banner of symbolic blue bearing in large letters the name of the beloved alma mater. Circled around the palm bower were the tables, at which the following were seated: Wallace M. Alexander, Professor Nathan Ab- bott, Professor Thomas R. Bacon, W. H. L. Barnes, Charles T. Blake, Gordon’ Blanding, FEugene B. Baker, W, I'. Breeze, Thomas Hamil- ton Breeze, Edward L. Brayton, Preston Brown, William E. Bosley, Professor C. B. Bradley, Professor ward B. Clapp, John Cunning- ham, Neville H. Castle, George 'olsom, Stan- ley Forbes, Cleveland Forbes, Ernest R. Fol- ger, Edv odrich, Arthur Goodall, Henry H, Haight, William H. Jordan, President Mar- tin_ Kellogg, Samuel Knight. George D. Met- Joseph Naphtaly, William uk L. Owen, Charles Puge, es, John H. Philip, Edward Pond, John N. Poméroy, B. H. Pendleton, Wil- liam Bull Pringle, Beniamin Romaine, Wil- liam A. Setchell, Nathaniel N. Wilson, Mount- ford 8. Wiison, Carl Westerfield, A. B. Whitney, Walter Camp, Frank S. Butterworth. All of these, except Messrs. Butterworth |, and Camp, the guests of the evening, are resident alumni of Old Eli. Both of the famous coaches are Yale alumni, but their residence here is only temporary. The programme of bon mots that fol- lowed the elaborate menu was typical of Yale. It opened by a witty address by Professor Thomas R. Bacon, president of the evening, His theme was *Wisdom and truth and measures of sweet song unto her walls belong.”” Then the ban- queters sang ““Bingo,’" the rollicking col- lege song, in true coliege style. Walter Camp and Frank S. Butterworth each responded neatly to the toast “Our Guests,’”” and the way in which the assem- bly sang “Vive I'Amour’ must have warmed the cockles of the two big football men’s hearts. “The Elder Yale’' was treated by Gen- eral W. H. L. Barnes in a neatly turned speech full of wit and eloquence. This was followed by the chorus *‘Dear Old Yale.” W. A. Setchell spoke of **Yale in Tran- sition.”” As he finished his remarks the old college absurdity, ““The Pahl,” was rendered with spirit by the alumni. “The Younger Yale, Our Salad Days ‘When We Were Green in Judgment,” was responded to Cline Day. Neville H. Castle told of the glorions prospects of the organization of Yale men in California. He indorsed the sentiment on the toast card, “It’s a Good Thifg, Push It Along.” Then the banqueters sang the rousing Iruzerni? song, “*Amici.”” William B. Bosley told of “The Needs of Yale.” The sentiment to which he was supposed to speak, as-announced, was, **[f money goes before, all ways lie open.” His remarks, however, smacked more of humor than finance. This was followed by the touching refrain, *‘My Last Cigar.” That was all the programme on the printed cards, but it was only a small part of the evening's enjoyment. There were speeches galore, both wiu‘y and wise, made under the inspiration of revived youth, and there were songs which had not been thought of for many a Jong month sung with a vim that made the dishey rattle, There were strange, weird yells, an insane jargon to the uninitiate, and mirth-pro- voking jokes that _required a historical knowledge of old Yale to make them in- telligible. Altogether the uffair was voted a success by all present. VISITED WILDER AFRICA W. A. Peairs “Trecked” Across Bechuanaland With Only a Native Boy. Droves of Springbuck, Kudoos and Zebras—The Reptiles and Naked Savages. ‘Will A. Peairs, known throughout the United States as the representative of a large medicine-manufacturing firm at Des Moines, Iowa, bas arrived here, having made the circuit of the globe and crossed the Pacific, after having visited the wild provinces of Central Africa. A It is exceedingly rare that a traveler reaches here from those remote and inter- esting regions. He visited Kimberley, Johannesburg and Natal also, as well as Cape Town, but the public is reasonably well informed about them. It is the really wild regions that now hold the strongest attention. Mr. Peairs “trecked,” as Rider Haggard has it, from Johannesburg through Ma- shonaland, Matabeleland and Bechunana- land, making the great circle and traveling in this way over 1200 miles. It took over three months to do it and his only com- panion wes a native black boy, who drove four mules to a two-wheeled cart, wearing out many a native shrub on the obstrep- erous animals. In this way he finally reached the railroad at Vryburg. Though he passed throufl the wilds he at all times traversed a well-truveled stage road, These African stages, with their fast-going mules, he pronounces maryels of speed. They proceed steadily day and night by relays of animals, making 175 miles every swenty-four hours. The tray- elers at their journey's end, however, are often so exhausted they ean scarcely stand. “It was a country that surprised me much,” he said. *‘In place of there being dense woods we found but little timber and what we did was, asa rule, small and scraggy. It was a region much like Nevada, being made \é]p largely of dr{ sec- tions, rolling hills and mountains. Bome of it, of course, was well watered and very fertile. “] saw immense quantities of wild game, but no lions, and for that I was glad, for 1 was not looking for any. Great droves of deer were to be observed frequently from the roadside. These included springbuck and many other kinds. We also saw an abundance of kudoos. In Zululand, which I also visited, I saw many zebras. So far as reptiles were concerned I did not see -| very many. “There are some rich gold districts along the route which one day will, no doubt, command great attention. As for its na- tives, they did not interfere with us. In fact, they were very quiet and attended strictly to their own affairs. Most of them were entirely naked. “*Africa is & great country for American trade, The field should be cultivated by our marufacturers, but we. greatly need a good class of American business men as consuls.

THE FOOTBALL SOUVENIR. Students Produce an Illustrated Pro- gramme and Key to the Game, This year's football souvenir, to be fs- sued by California ‘and Stanford Univer- sity students, excels in some features anything of the kind yet got up for the Thanksgiving event. The book measures 7} by 1014 inches, and is illustrated within and without. A fancy cover design in several colors shows a Stanford and a Berkeley football man before a young woman hesitating upon which to confer a wreath, and on each side are humorous conceptions of the enthu- siastic rooter surrounded by floral indica- tions of the colors he upholds. The de- sign is the work of J. Berenger of the Over- land Menthly. An article by Walter Camp on amateur athletics begins the several pages of mat- | ter perrainiug to the colleciate game. Frank Butterworth, the U. C. coach, bas an article entitled *‘Does Any Benefit Come From Football?"’ and there are other articles explanatory of the game itself and of the mysterious system of signals that direct the plays. In addition to page half-tonesof the football squads of each university, together with the names of all the individuals, there are photogravures of Camp, Butter- worth, Walter Camp Jr., the Stanford mascot, Captain Cochran, and several col- lege scenes. & prizs foorall storys by .

VIOLA BECK TELLS HER STORY, First United Under a Contract Mar-. riage, but Later in Due Legal Form. F. J. R. Mitchell Treweek appeared in Judge Joachimsen's court vesterday for his preliminary examination on the charge of bigamy. He conducted his own defense. Mrs. Treweek, the first wife, testified that she was married to Treweek in San Rafael, September 25,1893, and she pro- duced her marriage certilicate. Treweek had left her about eight months ago. Viola Beck, the second wife, testified that she was married to the defendant by Judge Gottschalk of San Andreas, Cala- veras County, in October last, and pro- duced a certificate to that effect. Treweek asked for a continuance, as he said he could prove from the records that when his first wife married him two years ago she was not then legaily divorced from tinued the case till Tuesday.

Michael Davitt is coming to San Fran- cisco. He sailed from Melbourne on Octo- ber 31. Mr. Davitt is accompanied by his wife, who is a member of an Oakland fam- ily. The noted Irish leader was very suc- cessful in his mission to Australia. He will probably be tendered a public recep- tion by his countrymen in this City and Oakland. Michael Davitt has bhad an eventful his- tory, more so, probably, than any of the present leaders of the Irish national cause. He was born in 1846, 1n the village of Straide, County Mayo. of the poorer class of Western Irish peas- antry, and when Michael was five years old his father was evicted from the small holding on which the family subsisted. This early experience with landlord Sailed power, it is thought, had a tendency to in- | | Gottschalk. We returned to West Point, fluence the fierce war he waged against Irish landlordism in aiter life. The Davitt family emigrated to Lancashire, where young Davitt was employed in a cotton factory, and at the age of 11 years lost his right arm in a machinery accident. He was then sent to Wesleyan School at Has- lingden, and at 15 obtained employment in a printing office, where he remained for seven years. In 1566 the Irish Revolution under the leadership of James Stephens, who after- ward escaped to France, broke out. Day- itt, who was quite active in the movement, was arrested in London in 1870, tried on an indictment of “treason-felony,” and sen- tenced to fifteen: years' penal servitude, After undergoing seven years and & half of imprisonment, chiefly in Dartmoor prison, Mr, Davitt was released on ticket- of-leave. In conjunction with other am- nestied Fenian prisoners, be was tendered a public reception_ by the people of Dub- lin, and after making a tour of the west of Ireland and paying a hurried visit to America, he began the land agitation in his native couniy of Mayo in 879, In Oc- tober of the same year he, in conjunction with the late Charles Stewart Parnell and others, founded the Land League and be- came its guiding spirit. He was arrested and prosecuted 2 month later foran alleged seditious speech, but aiter a week’s im- prisonment and an abortive trial, the prosecution was abandoned. WILL HOLD REVIVALS, Services to Be Held in Chapel-Car Em- manuel During the Week. The chapel-car Emmanuel was brought across the bay from Oakland yesterday and stationed at Fourth and Townsend streefs. Revival services will be held in the car every evening of this week by Rev. M. P. Boynton, acting pastor of the First Baptist church. The meetings will be open to the general public, and the car may be inspected every afternoon. It has not been decided how long the car will remain in the City. TrY Sadie Evans’ cocoanut cream and soap, awarded first premium at State Fair.

The 1ecords showed that his first wife was divorced from her husband March 31, 1893, six months previous to her mar- riage with him. Viola Beck, Mrs. Treweek, No. 2, is stillat the Hackmeir Hotel, though she is more of a servant than a guest. As a matter of fact she is doing chamberwork, for she has no friends in the City. The woman who is neither wife, maid nor widow, according to evidences now in sight, is a girl of only 19. She is from a respectable Calaveras County family, and naturally feeis most keenly the unpleasant position in which she finds herself. *I met Mitchell, or Treweek, some eight months ago at a little town in Calaveras County known as West Point,” she said yesterday. *I was then running the hotel at that place. The man whose wife I thought I was appeared to me to be a gen- tleman. He was certainly a most agree- able companion, and when he sought my hand in marriage I accepted lim. My mother was very much opposed to thé match, but like many another girl, I thought 1 knew it all. **There was no minister or Justice of the Peace convenient, so we entered into what ‘was known as a contract, and my husband (or probably I should say Mr. Treweek) as- sured me that a marriage of this kind was perfectly lezal, and it was not until two months afterward that the annulment of the contract-marriage law came to my no- tice. Iimmediately insisted upon another marriage and Treweek readily agreed to my demand. We went to San Andreas and: October 23 were married by Judge remaining there until Treweek lost his po- sition. Our coming to San Francisco and his arrest on the bigamy and forgery charges have already been told.” FREEMAN CASE OVER. Walter K. Has Made Up His Mind to Go East and Abandons Criminal Proceedings Here. The Freeman case is concluded so far as this City is concerned, and the depositions will all be sent on to the Commissioner of Patents at Washington, who is to pass on its rlerits. Walter K. Freeman has made up his mind to go East, too, and it is given out that he will not make any further effort here in the criminal proceedings contem- plated against Attorney H. S. Mackaye and his two brothers, Wallace . and ‘Warren P. Freeman. Some of the exhibits belonging to the Westinghouse Company of electrical a paratus were left in Ex- aminer Heacacfl s room by ,-\ttorneer Mac- kaye when he departed so sudden! . and these wiil be taken to New York and turned over to their owner. Walter K, Freeman says the litigation has already cost him over $400,000, Horace G. Platt, associate counsel for the Westinghouse Company, contradicts the story that Attorney Mackaye fled to avoid arrest. He says Mr. Mackaye had some important matters that called him to the East, and as Marvin L. Freeman's testimony was practically finished the ‘Westinghouse Company recalled him, “We had determined,” said Mr. Platt yesterday, “that when we finished Marvin reeman’s deposition, we would not take Alexander Freeman’s, as contem- vlated.” Attorney Church completed all the rec- ords here for his client, Walter K. Free- man, by yesterday noon. Impersonation Cases Dismissed. The cases against 8. 8. Simon and C. 8.
