The Oakland Heir Learns That His Share. Is Now in Sight. IN CHANCERY MANY YEARS. The Estate Was Formerly the Prop- erty of the King of the Province of Leinster. OAxrAND OFFice Sax Francisco CALy,) 908 Broadway, Feb. 8. Dr: William O’Neill, who lives on Ashby avenue, North Oakland, has just received word from Europe that some valuabie evi- dence has developed tending to establish his interest in large estates in Leinster that were formerly owned by his ances- tors. For several years it has been ack: edged by all concerned that Dr. O'N one of the heirs to’ the estate of Lord O'Neill, Earl of Antrim. The estate has been in chancery many years, and the doctor has proof that if it is distributed during his lifetime his share will not be less than a cool million dollars. Lord O'Neill died before Dr. William membership. It proposes to pay $3000, and would not let an exvra $1000 stand in the way of getting just the man it-wants. This is as much salary as_similar Congre- gational churches in.the East pay, so the salary question is not the trouble in secur- ing a pastor. The difficulty they experi- ence is that the strong men in the denom- ination are well settled and do not wish to move. THE BODY IDENTIFIED. Remains Found at Blair Park Those of Joseph Kallmas. OAKLAND, CaL., Feb. 8.—A lady who conducts a lodging-house at 415 Eddy street, San Francisco, called at the morgue this afternoon and requested to be allowed to see the remains of the man found at Blair Park yesterday morning. She said she had seen the picture in Tue CALL and believed it was one of her lodgers. When shown the body she identified it as Joseph Kallmas.

Many years ago the Boston Pilot pub- ished the history of the family and from this story much information was obtained by the Irish-American heirs. The most recent information is very positive and Dr. O'Neill expects very soon now tdo obtain some of the coin for which his father com- menced to fight. The entire estate is said to be worth £12,000,000. ALL THREE WITHDRAWN. Ministers Who Desired the Call Alarmed at a Supposed Division. OAKLAND, Cax., Feb.8.—The Second Presbyterian Church is yet without a pastor, and has not even a candidate to be congidered for the piace. Two weeksago there wére three prominent and well-fitted ministers, either of whom would have made an acceptabie pastor had not the others been in the field. The Rev. Donald Ross of San Francisco, the Rev. John Thomson of - Catnbria, San Luis Obispo County, and the Rev. James B. Orr of Benicia, were the three. Anin- format ballot showed they all had friends in about the same number. The Rev. Mr. Orr received a call from another church and accepted it, but this was unknown to the others. ¥ The vote, as informally taken, was given out in some manner and caused the other two gentlemen to withdraw their names on the ground that they did not desire to sccept a cell to a divided church, so tkat when the churck met this week to choose & pastor, there were none to be chosen where there had been three. The choice has now been teft to the session,which will not let its work become pubfic prema- turely, A HUNTING A PASTOR. First Congregational Church Pastorless Noarly a Year. OAKLAND, Car., Feb. 8.—Rev. J. K. McLean, D.D., resigned as pastor of tbe First Congregational Church in July, 1895, to take effect September 1. Ever since mid- summer the quest for a man to accept the vacant pulpit has been in progress, but sa far bas not resulted in success. The mem- bers of. the committee will only say that the matter is making progress. The church is one of the largest Con- gregational cuurches in the country, not more thun four or five exceeding it in | life and had discarded the petitioner. but was never divorced. He lived in Hay- wards with. a_woman who went by the name of Effie Hassler Hood, who died a few months before the physician. When | he died he left about $2000 fo A. J.

CAN GET TIME TO THINK, Why W. G. Landers Opposes the San Leandro Electric- Light Bonds. HE IS “NOBLE” NO LONGER. I The Gas Company’s Vice-President Recalls His Fall in the Public Estimation. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Feb. 8. The fight between the citizens of San Leandro and the gas company has taken on a new phase. W. J. Landers issued a circular letter to-day and rehearsed some facts that show how quickly the estimation of the people changed after Mr. Landers helped to open the electric road. About five years ago, says Mr. Landers, the San Leandro papers showed their good judgment by publishing the following: Gas Turned On. On Monday evening all the street lamps were lit with gas for the first time. The initial lighting was & great success, and bore us out in the statement we made some time n%o, namely, that the work would be well'done. In some [uture issue we will publish a completé account of the modus operandi by which the gas is made. Mr. Henning wes congratulated on all sides on the success of . his work, but for Mr. Landers our citizens reserved the lion’s share of the praise. And while all rejoiced With him, but few kniew how much time, labor and thought he has devoted to the erection of the works, nor of the endless vexations Lie has had to endure. But he has persevered, and there is not_a property-owner in San-Leandro but will be benefited more or less by the result of his labors. And what is more to his credit than all else is that no great pecuniary reward was what he sought, as he was_actuated as much by public spirit and the desire to see the town mie & position among the live and pro- gressive municipalities of our State. Now the people of S8an Leandro, almost to a man, are fighting the gas company. The Trustees have ordered the town light- ing discontinued and by an_almost unani- mous vote the people have decided to issue $10,000 bonds to build a municipal electric light plant. s “Now,” says Mr, Landers, “it is abso- lutely the case that the property has not paid in any one year 2 per cent per annum upon the capital invested, and furthermore the case that at anIy time during the past three years when I began to observe that the citizens were beinv led by a few mis- chiefmakers I would have sold the property for 50 per cent of its cost, and consider the other 50 per cent as a loss, rather than contend with the leadership referred to. I was also led in the direction of making the loss upon observing a growing disposition to disregard the friendly feeling and spirit absolutely due from the people in respect to this particular investment. / About the same time and. from much the same mo- tives I assisted materially in erecting one of the most prominent buildings in the center of town. “The litigation which I have started will have the ad antage of giving the peo- ple plenty of time 1n which to think care- fully over what has been done, also to test the judgment and acts of the Trustees and likewise that of incurring the debt, if atall, for a suflicient amount and 1n ac- cordance with law.” RANSUE 15 CHPTA, The Noted Fullback Will Lead Berkeley’s Football Team Next Season. Glee Ciub Men Defeat the Football Team at Baseball by a Score of 18 to 17—News Notes. BERKELEY, CAL., Feb. 8.—0. W. Ran- some, the famous fullback, who crowned himself with glory in the last intercolke- giate football game, was to-day elected cap- tain of the University of California team for the season of ’96 by & unanimous vote, Captain Sherman, the only other candi- date, having retired from the race. The elec- tion took place just prior to the baseball game between the football men and the i Glee Club. This was the first time the entire team had their suits on since the Thanksgiving game, and to celebrate the occasion a special artist was on the grounds to take their photographs with their newly elected captain. Ransome, the new leader of the Varsity, who will-try to pilot the Berkeley colle- gians to victory against Stanford next fall, is now in his twentieth year and a member of the junior class of the um- versity. 1 Ransome’is a2 prominent member of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. as is also Frank P. Taylor, one of the ea. lidates for the other high football honor, that of the managership, the election to which will take place next Monday. College Baseball. BERKELEY, Cir. Feb. 8.—University society was out to-day in full force to wit- ness the baseball game betweensthe foot- ball team and the Glee Club, which re- sulted after nine hard-fought inningsin a score of 18 to 17 in favor of the singers. The bleachers about the diamond were crowded with faculty members, university students and their lady friends and other visitors when time was called for the ame. At the appointed hour the foot- %n]l-playcrs came_ sprinting down - from the gymnasium attired in complete foot- ball uniform and began kicking the pig- skin bag to one another across the field. Soon the members of the Glee Club dressed in outing costume approached from the vicinity of the cinder track, sing- ing *“Ransome Is & Jolly Good Fellow.” The two parties met in the middle of the field, and after a heated discussion over the relative merits of football and baseball the singers challenged the knights of the gridiron to a game of the latter. The “Renderers of Song,” as they were styled in the souvenir of the day, took the bat. In the first inning they scored five runs, which were made by Temple Smith, Fred Knight, Charles Elston, Allen Smith and Clay Gmdirfi £ At the outset Rawlings of the Glee Club bmuihc iaughter and applause from the bleachers by his phenomenally high catches, facilitated by his lengthy arms. “Brick’’ Morse tackled Kennedy in real football styie, and the latter went tumbling in a heap. When the foothallers came to the bat Wallthall, the giant guard of the Varsity, was struck out by Morse’s swift curves. Ransome, the newly elected cap- tain of the football team, came to the plate amid loud cheering, and he wasalso struck out. At the beginning of the eighth inning the score stood 14 to 8 in favor of the glee vs. Temple Smith batted a hard right fielder into the uands of Wallthail, who was on third. With only one more inning and the footballers rapidly increasing their tnllf, the excitement became intense, In the last of the ninth the score stood 18 to 17 when the football veam took the bat. Carr was struck out, Hilborn came next, but was put out oa first by Rawlings, Wilson was struck out and the pame was ended with the singers one point ahead. Executive Committee Meeting. BERKELEY, Cav., Feb. 8.—A meeting of the executive committee of the inter- collegiate debaters was held this morning in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, for the purpose of outlining plans for the coming intercollegiate debate. Stanford was represenied by Bledsoe, O’Neiil and Wardall, and the University of California by F. H. Dam. Bledsoe was elected chair- man and Dam secretary of the committee. On a toss Stanford won the choice of se- lecting either the subject or the side for the debate. After the meeting Cathcart and Sheldon of the Stanford team stated that they would choose their side rather than offer the subject for discussion. Berkeley must choose the subject on or before Feb- ruary 19, and Stanford, according to the agreement, must send a reply as to their choice of sides on or before February 26. The debate will take place some time in April at a date yet to be named. Another Fight Over Rodgers. BERKELEY, Car., Feb: 8.—A second university students’ fight-over the Rodgers case took place at Berkeley station fi;sl night. Rodzers and several companions were passengers on the last train from San Francisco. There were a number of uni- versity men on the train also, and both sides were beard to make comments on the recent trial. For some moments the dis- vlay of pucilistic prowess' was lively. Rodgers is the Boone’s Academy student who had several U. C. men arrested a short time ago on a charge of battery, against whom the case was dismissed by Judge James. ——————— A Journalist Retires.

NO MORE CROSSING THE BAY. nonday Night the Frawley Company Will Tender Him a Benefit at {he Macdonough. OAELAND OFFICE SAN xnarcidco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Feb. 8. ) Miss Maud Morrell will make her dedut as a professional in this city next Monday night. The occasion will be the benefit fPerformance tendered to Manager Charles E. Cook of the Macdonough by the Fraw- ley Company. Although the only first-class pl‘ybuuu in this city has been open only thtee years OQakland is now known throughout the East and by all good companies as a “good show town.” Prior to the opening of the Macdonough a night at the theater meant Society set its seal on the Macdonough, and for the first time in Oakland, high-class companies like those of Ward and James, and Fannie Davenport and the Lyceum Company, played week stands to crowded bouses. Thie was somewhat of a revelation to Eastern managers, and Oskland was at once listed as a place to patronize. Atthis lime every first-class attraction is sure of acrowdedvhonsq. and the success of the pretty theater is assured. Next Monday Mr. Cook will be tendered & benefit, and every effortis being made by his many friends to fill the house. An anecdote istold on Manager Cook that shows how completely he has his chosen profession at heart, and how practieal are his ideas. A new theater was opened in Oakland, and some one suggested to Mr. Cook that it might draw a certain element away from the Macdonough. ‘Not a bit of it,”” said Cook. It would be better if we had two more houses in town. It would encourage the nabit of attending, and that is what we want. Even these second-class houses help, because the people to wiom they cater show a dispesition to attend a first- | class house whenever they can.”’ The piece seiected by the pany is ‘‘Men and Women. Tke players of this company have en- deared themselves to the amusement lovers of S8an Francisco and Oakland by their artistic and intelligent presentations of high-class plays, and their production of “Men and Women,” now running for the second week to crowded houses at the Columbia Theater, San Francisco, has proven the crowning triumph of a series of brilliant successes. The Ehy isa flaw- less gem—the choicest of their splendid repertoire—aud is the same in which the Charles Frohman company achieved phe- nomenal success.

Under these circumstances it can readily be un- derstood that the patrons of the drama in Oakland weregvery few. Although several companies w‘re mduced to come over here the old C8losseum was sodefinitely a rolic of the past that society shunned and actors condemned it. After the opening of the new theater it was not very generously patronized for the first few months, .and the people did not seem to appreciate it until C. E. Cook took charge of the management. He has had to create a habit and a desire to attend the theater among a select body of people who had learned to look upon a first-class play- house as something that they dare not hove for this side of the bay. Little by little the fact wasrecognized that Oakland had a luxurious playhouse, and with the recognition of the fact came the first-class companies. It was an upnill fight, for those to whom the theater was a part of their social life had formed the habit of crossing the bay, and it was hard to break the custom. After a yearof persistent effort Mr. Cook reaiized that he had not worked in vain, BERKELEY, CaL, Feb. 8.—Rev.

ALAMEW@ BOARD, It Takes Stringent Measures to Guard the City’s Food Supply. The League of American Wheelmen Hold an Enthusiastic Meeting on the Encinal. ALAMEDA, CaAL, Feb. 8—The milk- men who supply Alameda get nervous about the time for the Board of Health to meet. The board goes rather thoroughly into the food question and nobody seems to have a pull with it. Its executive of- ficers are not only listened to when they make reports, but us each member of the board is a regular physician in practice the body hasa pretty good idea of how its officers have done their duty and whether theyvtre as thorough as they should be. The veterinary inspector is retied upon to see that the milk and other food supplies are in proper condition. Last night he re- ported that he had inspected all the dairies and found them in excellent con- dition except three, and these are being put right as fast as possible, The butcher- shops and restaurants had all _been visited and no tainted or unwholesome food was found. The subject of a garbage crematory was taken up and the conclusion arrived at that it is time that Alameda disposed of its garbage by burning. The board will inspect the new crematory in Oakland. The subject of displaying meat and veg- etables on the sidewalk, now in vogue by Alamedans, was discussed and disap- proved. An ordinance will probably be enacted requiring food that is displayed by dealers in their store-fronts to be raised two feet from the sidewalk or floor. L. A. W. Meeting. ALAMEDA, CAL., Feb. 8.—A large and enthusiastic meeting of wheelmen was held last ni% t in the meeting-hall of tne Cyclers’ Club.

AMBULANCE FOR FABIOLA A Lady Member of the Associ- ation Donates It to the Hospital. WILMERDING FUND I8 CLOSED. Enough Money Has Been Raised to Purchase a Suitable Lot for the Proposed School. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,} 8 Broadway, Feb. 8. Oakland is to have an ambulance of the latest approved pattern in the near future. It is the gift of alady member of the Fabiola Hospital Association to the or- ganization, but is to be used in ali cases of sudden sickness, injuries or removal of those who ne.d such service, under cer- tain regulations to be established by the association. Although Oakland is a eity of over 60,000 inhabitants and is called the *“Athens of the Pacific,” yet all these years it has been the custom to use the police patrol to re- move the sick or injured. Being a rail- road center many of the wounded em- ployes are brought to the hospitalsand are always transferred from the train in the patrol wagon. In case of an accident on any of the streets to a woman or child they are hustled into the patrol and hauled through the streets, much to their humil- iation, as none know whether they are prisoners or not. The gift was made known at the annual meeting of the Fabiola Hospital Associa- tion, but the donor is to be kept secret. Some six weeks ago she placed an order with Studebaker Eros., South Bend, Ind., for a_duplicate of the ambulance which took first premium at the Columbian Ex- position held in Chicago, apd it was to be delivered in ninety days. It isexpected to arrive within six weeks. A number of the old board of directors, finding it impossible to devote the neces- sary time to the work, requested to be re- lieved from further service, which was granted. The election resulted as follows: Board of directors—Mrs. Remi Chabot, Mrs, James A, Folger, Mrs. Pedar Sathers, Mrs. A. Barton, Mrs. Allen D. Wilson, Mrs. W. W.

ALAMEDA, CaL, Feb. 8.—A commite tee consisting of Captain Chipman, Lieu- tenants Simpson and Dohrman, Secretary Burkbart and Corporal 8t. Sure has been skirmishing in the vicinity of Park street for some time past, having in view the purchase of a piece of property upon which it 1s proposed to erect an armory building designed to be a thing ornamental to the city and a comfortable and cozy home for the members of Company G, N.G.C. Itisthe desire of the committee that the armory should be built on Park street, and with that end in view it has confined its skirmishing to-that thorough- fare. The committee already has its eye on two good properties. One piece is located at the north end of Yark street, and the other is on Santa Clara avenue, convenient to the former street. Itis the intention of the committee, if thought consistent, to enlist the attention of some of the moneyed men of the city whomight feel an interest in Company G and try and induce them to form an association, the purpose of which would be to advance funds for the erection of an armory build- ing. A building such as Company éwould like to be housed in would cost, it is esti- matea, about $20,000. It would be a two- story brick structure, containing all that would be necessary in*one of its kind in the way of a meeting-room, company quar- ters, assembly-room for drills, and being & thorough equipped building.
