SCHOOL OF PATRIOTISM, Free Institution Opened by a Naturalized Dane in North Oakland. | He Hopes at Some Future Date to Establish a Colony Near San Jacinto. OAxLAND OrFicE SaN Fraxcrsco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 17. § An enthusiastic naturalized Dane has | patriotism in this city. Hehas remodeled |a dwelling-house at Twenty-fifth street | and San Pablo avenue, and has decorated it in a manner that readily attracts atten- tion. On a big sign is the inscription: Young America party headquarters. America for Americans. Patriotism is the rod man leans on next 1o his God. George Markewitz is the patriot, and he is so convinced that his mission is to preach patriotism that he gives a free stereopticon lecture every evening. His hall is always full, and the lecturer is quite a power in the neighborhood. His wife is' the daughter of ex-Mayor Linde of Hot Springs, Ark., and niece of ex-Governor Rector of the same State. Mr. Markewitz is not a political crank, but a patriotic naturalized Dane, and is the personal friend of prominent men identified with National politics, among whom are Brick Pom.eroy, Governor Tabor and President Cleveland. Mr. Markewitz has studied carefully the political situation of America, and is so enthused with, the idea of educating the boys and girls in such matters, that he keeps open house every night. Mr. Markewitz’s intention is to perma- nently locate in California and in some good locality not too thickly populated, where a Danish colony could be established. He favors San Jacinto. .

LOCATED THE MURDERER Judge Gibson’s Remarkable Story of a Small Piece of a “Call” WAS USED FOR A GUNWAD. A Chapter of Criminal History That Cannot Be Duplicated in a Generation. N Francisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 17. § In the Sheriff’s office at Martinez is a | small scrap of an old CaLy that formed | the connecting link in & chain of circum- stantial evidence that sent a murderer to the penitentiary for life Gibson of this city was District Attorney at the time, and to-day he told a story of some detective work that reads like a novel in these days. ‘‘Fifteen years ago,” said the Judge, | ‘‘newspapers were not what they are to- day. The trial of Lyle was held at Mar- tinez, and little attention was paid to it. Although as fine a story as ever a news- paperman could wish to find, its salient points have never vet, to my knowledge appeared in print. “In Wildcat Canyon fifteen years ago a rancher named Sullivan was found dead with a shot in his back that went through the heart. He was lvingunder his wagon, just as he had failen, a short distance from the main road. I went to the spot with John Teague, who wasa Constable then, and we examined the blace cares fully. It was very evident that the wagon had switched off the road at the place where Sullivan was shot, as there was no possible reason for leaving theroad at that point. We pushed the wagon back into the very spot and put the wheels in the tracks. Then we put a pencil in the holes that some of the shot had made in the back of the wagon-seat and they pointed directly to a little bush a few yards away. “We went tothe bush and found some tracks there. They led to a point quite close to the wagon and in the direct line of fire. On searching the bush we found a small piece of charred paper that had evi- dently been used asa wad. Picking it up carefully we followed the footprints in the soft earth, and after following the creek opened & novelty in the way of a school of | and crossing over we lost them, but they led, so far as'we could see them, in the only path by which any one could reach the | Lyle’s house.

He took it with him and also some shot that he found in the house. Lyle said he had no Judge E. M. | 1 | one trip daily between San Francisco and | Vallejo.

No More Pew Rents. | BERKELEY, Car., Jan. 17.—The First | Congregational Church of Berkeiey, | through the intluence of the pastor, Rev. | George B, Hatch, has decided " to abandon | the system of renting pews for at least one year. The deficit will be made up by the passing of the contribution vlate. Subscriptions to the amount of $80 per | Sabbath have been pledged. g Kobbery at the West End. | BERKELEY, CaL., Jan. 17.—The house | of P.

Last night four sacks of potatoes were taken | from his barn.

THO BEPUBLICAN CLUBS | They Flourish and Are Rivals in the City of Alameda. Public Seatiment Asserting Itself in Regard to the Tidal Canal. LAMEDA, Car., Jan. 17.—There are two Republican clubs in Alameda—the Alameda Republican Club and the Regu- lar Republican Club. At the head of one is George H. Payne, one of the Republican warhorses of ameda, and at the head of the other is Colonel George C. Babcock, Court Commissioner. There is no ap- parent reason why there should be two, DESIGN SUBMITTED BY LIBRARY BUILDING. ARCHITECT THE COST OF DENKE FOR ALAMEDA’S PROPOSED THIS STRUCTURE WOULD BE $2500. shot of the size that killed Sullivan, but some of the exact size were found in his house. ““Lyle’s boots were also taken and put into the footprints, and they fitted ex- actly. There was a tip on one shoe and there was the impression of a tip on every other footprint along the creek from the scene of the murder. But neitherthe shoes nor the shot formed a direct un- broken connection between the murder | and Lyle. That was supplied by the little piece of THE CviL. “We took the charred shred of ;npflr and spread it very carefully on a card. It was no bigger thana tuumb nail. Then we took the piece of the newspaper found on Lyle’s gunrack and hunted all over it for some lines that would fit the letters on the little scrap fouhd under the bush. At last we made a connection. It was a piece of a small “wantad,” and the rest of it was on the paper found in Lyle’s house. *[t was stated th :it might have been in a paper of a different date, but we proved by THE CarL foreman thatthe “small ad.” was only inserted for one day, It was also proved that Lyle & Sullivan had quarreled over a lawsuit. “I was asked -by the District Attorney of Contra Costa County to assist the prose- cution. At the first trial oneman hung the jury, but at the second trial, conducted by A. A. Moore, there was a verdict of murder. Lyle was sent to the penitentiary for life. Some time ago he was taken sick, and I joined with others in asking for a | ardon. The Governor granted it, but yle soon died.” AN OPPOSITION FERRY Reports Abroad That the S. P. Company Will Establish One at West Berkeley. Find of a Historic Relic—More Burg- laries—Pew Rents Abol- ished. BERKELEY, Cav., Jan. 17.—Reports of a semi-official nature are in circulation that the Southern Pacific Company pur- poses waging war against the Piper, Aden, Goodall Company for the control of West Berkeley’s freight business by putting into service an opposition steamer. At the present time the latter company is with- out a rival at the West End, and asa re- sult all the freight shipped by steamer must go by one of their vessels. Recently the rates of transportation have been raised, and several large ship- pers, such as the Standard Soap Company and the Wentworth Boot and Shoe Com- pany, now ship by rail. It is said that the railroad company will Tun its steamer Herald to West Berkeley twice a day and cut rates so as to gain patronage. The Herald is now making and jthere does not appear to be any wide- | spread factional fecling, but the two clubs | are active and of almost equal member- | ship. The strength of each, should the | two be opposed in a primary fight, cannot be readily estimated, as many members have their names on both club rolls. It is | likely that thers will be a contest when | ibe primaries are held to elect delegates to | the State convention. It is believed by | some leading Republicans that the split | origi nated over the Superior Judgeship. | Judge A. B. Hunt was prominent in the | organization of the Alameda Republican Ciub. te is a candidate for Superior | Judge. Colonel Babcock is Court Commis- | sioner, a position to which he was ap- | pointed by the Superior Judges, two of | whom are candidates for re-election. The | success of Hunt would mean the contin- uation in the commwissionership of Bab- | cock. | Improvement Association. | ALAMEDA, Car., Jan. 17.—Alameda’s | splendialy improved condition is largely | the result of the work done and the lpeal | pride inspired by the old Improvement Association which flourished in 1887 and the three succeeding years. Lately a need is being felt by some of the citizens for another such organization, not so much to improve Alameda as to agitate and pro- mote Governmental and other improve- ments adjacent. The tidal canal 15 being dug very slowly. The money appropri- ated for Oakland Harbor is being spent very largely down on the Oakiand front, mainly Decanse there is a public demand for it there and littl# or none here.

Brown as one of the delegates to rep- resent Alameda in the Anti-Funding Con- vention. Mr. Brown, however, has de- clined the honor, sutini in a card pub- lished in a local paper) that he is the offi- cial stenographer of Mastér in Chance; Heacock of the United States Circuit Court, and as such he considers it improper for him to accent an appointment that would lay him liable to a charge of offen- sive partisanship. e e STREET RAILWAY BLAMED, Verdict of Censure by the Coroner’s Jury at the Pinena Inquest. At tne Coroner’s inquest held upon the Swiss laborer, Antonio Pinena, who was run over by a Mission-street electric car near Persia avenue, and who died of his injuries on the 13th inst., the jury returned a verdict yesterday censuring the Market- street Railway Company and the motor- man, E. Wilson. The verdict read: “We find that his decease was due to the negligence of the railroad company in not providing effective brakes on tneir cars, and also to the incompetency of the motorman in charge of the car which caused his death,” MUSIC IS KOT IN FAVOR, High School Students Prefer Going Home Early to Singing. HALF THE CLASS DROPS OFF. The Board of Education May Soon Restore the Old Order of Things. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALy,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 17. | Music is evidently not a popular studz at the High School. A few days ago there was a lengthy and argumentative session of the Board of Education, during which the request of the teachers to close the High School at 3 o'clock instead of 3:30 was under discussion. Much was said on both sides, the opinion of the opposition being that there was no need to close the school so early, as the university kept open till 5 o’clock. In order to make the change and not interfere with the regular studies it was found to be necessary to assign the music lesson to an extra period after school time, from 3 to 3:30 o'ciock. .Those favor- able to music in the board objected to the change on the ground that it would prac- tically result in breaking up the music class, they being of the opinion that most of the pumis who had been attending the class during the school hours wou]g not care to stay for music and would go home at 3 o’clock. Professor 8. P. Meade, who acted as spokesman for the teachers, replied that the class would not fall off at ail, but pre- dicted that it would increase. He said the places of those who left on account of the subject being put after school hours would be taken by those who had formerly ne- glected the music lesson and had spent that period in study. The new rule has only been in force one week and the music class has dropped from 200 to 115. Principal McChesney says that he will be satisfied if the number1s kept at its present figure. The members of the board who oppose the early closing of the Hizh School will bring the matter up again, and they are of the opinion that the result of the change will be thata majority of the Board of Education will vote for a restoration to the old order of things. If the class should fall off to such a point as to show that the interest is too small to justify the keeping of a teacher, the department of music will probably be dropved. AGHIN AT BLACKMAIL Mrs. Ann Woods Has Resumed Her Old Work in Hay- wards. More Trouble With The Woman Re- cently Discharged From an In- sane Asylum. OAELAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 17. } Mrs. Ann Woods, who has been terror- izing the people of Haywardsand vicinity, isnot ‘‘the mysterious woman” that she has been called. There is very little mys- tery about her, as her history is very well known. She has been in every prison of any size on the Pacific Coast as an all-round confi- dence woman. She made her debut in Oakland about six years ago and took up her abode at various first-class lodging-houses, where she represented herself as the bosom friend of Mrs. Leland Stanford and a lady of un- limited means, with no end of influence. Her dress and ladylike bearing bore out the statement, and she found no difficulty in running large bills of all kinds, until it was discovered that she was a fraud. She eventually was landed in the County Jail, not, however, until she had also blackmailed some Oaklanders who had hidden chafters in their lives, which she had Jearned. After serving a long term in the Oak- land jail Mrs. Woods went to an insane asylum. Only a few weeks ago she was discharged and is again at her old tricks in Haywards. - RAISING UP OF CHIEFS. An Interesting Ceremony by the Red Men This Evening. The raising up of 238 chiefs of the Order of Red Men, which means the instailation of the recently elected officers, in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall this evening will be an extra- ordinary event. It will be an installation of the officers of the several tribes in this City and will be the first time that such have been in- stalled in joinv session by any fraternal organization. The work will be performed by the deputy great sachems of the various tribes, and they have been for some time per- fecting themselves in their duties under direction of Peter L. Hoff, deputy great sachem of district 1. 4 The great sachems will all be in attend- ance, and after the ceremony of installa- tion there will be a musical and literary entertainment and then there will be a dance. There has been a great demand for tickets, and the indications are that there will be a crush. The hall will be appro- priately decorated. NEW TO-DAY.
