THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1896. 13 Interesting Report of Important Up-to-Date News Items in Alameda County EFFECT OF SMALL SHOT, It Was Dearly Shown and Nearly Ended in a Murder. A SEQUEL TO FOOLISHNESS. Henry Sparling of Fruitvale May Have to Expose Himself to the Cathode Ray. OARLAND OFFICE 8AN FRaxcIsco CALL, 908 Broadway, March 21, } Henry Sparling, a resident of Fruitvale, mey. have to be photographed by the cathode process to locate several trouble- some shot that were fired into his back nonrl;\' two years ago. = The peculiar man- ner in which the shot were imbedded in Sparling’s back was never told till to-day. ,““"‘ were shooting atour camp near iles,” he said, ““when an argument arose as to ‘the penetrating power of birdshot fired from a distance of a hundred yards. Another of the party, whom I will not name just now, offered to be a target for birdshot at a distance of a hundred yards. He was confident that he would not be burt, and at his request I was chosen to shoot at-him. He walked off about thirty yards and told me to shoot. I told him to go further. When he was about a hun- dred yards away I fired. aiming at his ankle.. I knew that he would feel the shot, and so he did. Some of it went into his lej nd he got mad instantly. "“To the surprise of everybody be raised his own gun' and without any warning fired point blank at me. I saw what he was doing and immeaiately turned my head. The shot struck me o one shoul- der and m k,and I think about fifty entered my Nearly all of them were 1\:r;kenl out, but about a dozen are still in. Lately they have been troubling me and I think T shall have to get them out. Idon't know where they all are, but perhaps an X ray will locate them. My friend had to leave our camp, and it was about six months before I met him. It was the most foolish zuiece of business I ever heard of, and I don’t think I'll ever undertake to oblige a man with such a crazy idea again.” Several well-known Oaklanders were members of the same camp, but all were sworn to secrecy, and the story would never have been made public had not Sparling been forced to submit his pep- pered shoulder to a doctor for relief. POPULISTS AT WORK. Enthusiastic Meeting of the Young Men’s Club. OAKLAND,C March 21.—The Young Men’s Central People’s Party Clubof Ala- meda County held a very largely attended and enthusiastic meeting last night. The president and secretary were authorized to enter into an arrangement with the County Ceniral Committee with regard to the lease of a 'hall for a permanent meet- ing place. The matter of organizing a campaign quartet was presented and taken under advisement. Attorney J. Manson addressed the club upon the relations of the citizen to the Government — city, State and Na- tional. He referred to the various func- tions of the Government, particularly the right' to coin money and fix the value thereof. He declared that this was one of £li¢ “sovereign functions of government, and that it is the stamp of the Govern- ment, and not, commodity value, that makes money. Continuing, he said: The deily press, with rare exceptions, sedu- lously suppresses the statements of the growth of the People’s party. The People's party to- day is the second strongest party in twenty States of this Union. _In several States it quadrupled izs vote in 1894, as compared with its vote of 1892. 1n four Siates it trebled ‘its vote, in eleven States it doubled its vote and in forty-one States it increased in 1894, compared _with the vote in 1892. In November, 1895, in Ohio, it polled 56,000 votes, in Iowa over 32,- 00; ‘in Kansas, there being no election for- Governor, the People’s party carried a major- ity of the counties. The great reforms for which the People's party stauds can only be secured through education and legislation, bui great progress is being made and the out- look for the People’s party is very promising. Colored Impostor. OAKLAND, CAL., March 21.—There is a colored man going about Qakland, Berke- ley and San Francisco begging. He pretends to be a deaf mute, and is believed 10 have realized a neat sum from business men and attorneys, whom he seems to par- ticularly seek. He hasbeen a frequenter of the Montgomery-street offices in San Francisco for several days this week. His method of approach is to draw attention to himself and then present the following letter: > BERKELEY, Cal. To whom it may concern: This is to certify that the bearer is no fraud. He is a colored desf mute who came out here to teach the col- ored deef and dumb, but found out when be arrived here that there were none to teach, #nd he can get nothing o do and has not the money to return home. He has papers with him from the deaf mute institute at Raleigh, Carolina, showing he is no fraud. Ifeel any contribution you may give—let it be -ever 50 little—will be giventoward a good cause. He will be thankful for5 or 10 cent contributtons. J. W. WILKERSON, Manager Deaf Mute Institute, Berkeley. This appeal usually resulted in the fellow seouring a quarter of a half dollar, and he went on his way rejoicing. This morning one msn to whom he presented the letter saw that it did not read smoothly and that the signature was incorrect. He took a copy of it and forwarded it to Professor ‘Warrirg Wilkinson of the California insti- tution ‘or the education of the deaf and dumb and the blind a¢ Berkeley, who re- plied: That fellow is a scoundrel and fraud. Ihave never sten him, nor did I ever write such a Jetter. You see he has not spelled my name correct]y, but not one man in twenty would notice i The letter isa tissue of falsehoods througliout. The colored deaf mutes are cared for in tiiis institution the same as the whites. Ido not know even whether the fellow is a mute himself. I desirethe press togive him the widest publicity, that the public may not be imp(:utf upon by such a fraud and scoun- 4l eform Sciool Contingent. OAKLAND, Car,, March 21. — Chief Jailer Al White has been making an ex- amination of the records that show the charges on which children are committed from this county to the reform schools at Whittier and lone. He finds there are nineteen at Whittier committed prior to March, 1895, which cost Alameda County $12 50 monthly for maintenance, and thir- teen confined there since that date. for which the county pays at the rate of $132 yearly. At Ione tuere are eight, who cost the same, §132 per year. Should’ the appéal to be made to the Supreme Court to ascertain whether or not counties are to be hela for the cosi of taking care of inmate8 to these institutions who are commifted for felony should be decided in favor of the county, the cost of mainteining this class of inmates would devolve upon the State and would result in a saving to the county, at present, of $177 per month. % There are eight felony commitments in Whittier dating previous to March, 1895, and seven in Whittier and Ione since that date on the same charge. Struck by the Train. OAKLAND, CarL, March 2L.—George Emmons, a well-known member of the ‘Acme Club, employed as a collector for the Bouthern Pacific, was_struck by the Ala- meda local train at the foot of Peralta street last evening.

OAKLAND, Car., March 21.—The Oak- land Preserving Company, which conducts a large cannery on Eifnle street in this city, has erected a building and putina small power plant at Milpitas for a branch establishment. Itis the intention to can only vegetables, and for thisdepartmept of the canning business the location is an advantageous one, since it is in the center of a district in which vegetable-growing is an extensive industry. Captain E. H. Nielsen, the new manager of the company, says: *“We expect to pack 10,000 or 15,000 cans at Milpitas—mostly asparagus and pears, and asparagus will predominate. To get these articles put uE in good condition it is uecessar?' to pacl them as quickly as possible aiter they have been gathered in the fields, since they soon grow hard and tough. We will start up our new establishment next week and will be through work by the end of May. We will probably run twenty-five to forty hands.” New Timecard.

SINGLE STRUCTURE FAVORED. The Act of 1890 Confers Ample Au- thority on the War Department to Order Work. 0AxLAND OrFFIcE 8Ax Fraxcisco CALr,) 908 Broadway, March 2L | The announcement that the ‘War De- partment has decided that the present bridges across the estuary are obstructions to, navigation and that propositions re- garding a single bridge would be enter- tained has created general interest, and a special meeting of the Supervisors has been called for Monday to consider the matter. The ideas expressed by Mayor Davie in this morning’s CaLL are very generally approved, although it is thought by many that the farther east a bridge is placed—in case a single bridge is decided upon—the better for the future of the harbor. What would be the foot of Fallon street, if con- tinued, will be advocated by many at the meeting called by Colonel Sutter for March 25. Ttis argued tha# should one double-deck bridge be decided upon ‘it shonld be east of all existing deep-water wharves. If the bridge is placed at Oak street it will interfere with the commerce at the large Adams wharves, 1000 feet of which is constructed and 500 feet of which is now being built. In the case of a single bridge with two decks it would be necessary to have a very easy grade for the teams on the upper track. _This could not possibly be done at either Webster or Alice streets, where the present bridges are now located. In afew months’ time when the new wharves east of Alice street are being used' the two bridges will have to be open nearly all the time to accommodate the commerce of the estuary. Not only would vessels at the wharves require that the draws be opened, but the little tugboats that moor there would also have to be accommodated. This would seriously interfere with the communication between Oakland and Ala- meda. With one bridge at Fallon street the whole of the space that isused by deep-water ships would be entirely unob- structed, and it could be built so that small tugs and gasoline launches could pass beneath one of the piers. At the pres- ent time every little bit of- a vessel regires the opening of both bridges. Oneeof the greatest objections to the present draws is that they are much too narrow. It is never safe for a big vessel to move in a harbor unless the tug can make fast alongside. This. is impossible with the present draws and while towing with the steamer ahead many vessel§ have been sheered off by wind and tide and have in- jured the bridges and damaged their hulls. The marks of several broken bowspritsadd booms are to be seen on both bridges. There has been some doubt expressed as to the rights of the Goverament on the ll)_remisel to interfere with the bridges. he following section of the river and barbor act approved September 19, 1890, clearly shows . that the War Department has absolute control of all such bridges :ind has ample power to rémove obstric- ons: “That whenever the Secretary of War shall have good reason to believe that an railroad or other bridge now constructed, or which may hereafter be constructed over any of the navigable waterways of the United States, is an_unreasonable obstruc- tion to the free navigation of such waters on account of insufficient height, width of span, or otherwise, or where there is difficulty in passing the draw opening or the draw span of such bridge by raits, steamboats, or other water-craft, it shall be the duty of the said Secretary, first giv- mghzhe parties reasonable opportunity to be heard, to give notice to the persons or corgorafionu owning or controlling such bridee so to alter the same as to renaer navigation through or under it reasonably free, easy and unobstructed; and in giv- ing such notice he shall speci the change« required to be made, and shall prescribs in each case a reasonable time in which t0o make them. If at the end of such tijae the alteration has not been made, the Becretary of War shall forth- with notify. the United States District Attorney for the district in which such bridge is situated, to the end that the criminal proceedings mentioned in the succeeding section may be taken. “That if the persons, corporations, or as- sociations owning or controlling any rail- road, or other bridge, shall, after receiving notice to that effect, as hereinbefore re- quired from the Secretary of War, and within the time prescribed by him, will- fully fail or refuse to remove the same, or to comply with the lawful order of the Secretary of War in the premises, such persons, corporation or association shall bedeemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $5000, and every month such persons, corporation, or asso- ciation shall remain in default in respect to the removal or alteration of such bridge shall be deemed a new offense, and subject. the persons, corporation or association so ofiendinF to the penalties above pre- scribed.” The news was 2lso received from Wash- ington to-day that the harbor improve- ment work will be transferred to the con- tract list. Henceforth it will not be neces- sary to labor hard every year to get an ap- Eroprhtion into the river and harbor bill. he appropriation will be contained in the civil sundry bill, which passes every year, 'and the amount will be decided by the re- port of the Government engineers saying whatsum can be grqfitably expended. The whole battle for the improvement of Oak- land harbor, showing the necessity for the work, justifying its character and E;oving its urgency, will no longer have to lonfint over at each session of Congress. All of that is avoided by adopting the con- tract system, which is the basis upon which the principal harbor improvement enterprises of the country have been put recently. This will prove a areat help to the work and the prospects for the develop- ment of the harbor are brighter now tkan ever before, Y TRUSTEES EXJONED, Judge Frick Issues an Injunction in the Electric Lighting . Case. Meeting of the Auxiliary of the Wo. man’s Suffrage Association. The Barbers. ALAMEDA, CAL, March 21.—Attorney Bruner, representing the plaintiffs in the electric-light litigation, this afternoon sue- ceeded in obtaining from BSuperior Judge Frick a temporary injunction against the City Trustees restraining the defendants and each of them, their agents and ser- vants, and all persons acting under their authority, from proceeding any further in the matier of increasing the power and ap- pliances of the electric-light plant of the city of Alameda; and from paying or causing to be paid any money or moneys upon any contract or contracts already let for the increase of the power and appli- ances of the said electric-light plant; and from permitting or causiag to be permit- ted any further work upon the addition to the builaing now in process of construc- tion upon the land now occupiea by said electric-light plant; and fromi doing or causing to be done any act 1n furtherance of the object of enlarging or increasing the plower and appliances of said electric-light plant. The court issued the injunction upon the affidavit of facts presented by Attor- ney Bruner, which were in pursuance of the allegations as contained in the amend- ed and supplemental oomglninz filed yes- terday. In the stead of a bond which was demanded to insure the City against loss, cash to the amount of $500 was deposited by the plaintiff. The move will have the effect of bring- ing the proceedings, thus far taken, to a focus, as it now depends upon whether the | g, temporary order 1 made permanent or is dissolved. The matter wiil probably be heard on Monday afternoon. The Barbers’ Trust. ALAMEDA, CaL, March 2L.—Two of Alameda’s four tonsorial artists, who have for some time past been' charging their patronsonly a dime for ashave, have again come back to the 15-cent standard, alleging that although their patronage had been increased by the lower . price, the balance of the right side of the ledger did not cor- respondingly increase. An alarm for a fire was turned in last night at 10:40 o’clock from box 43, a small blaze in the workshop of C. J. Clark at 1719 Park street being the cause. It seems that a tinker’s firepot had been left in a corner of the room, and the embers, starting up, ignited a bag of charcoal and the woos- work in the vicinity. There was no neces- sity for an alarm being rung, as the fire was put ouf with a few buckets of water. J. B. Morrison, the Oakland sailmaker who is accused of a felonious assault, came up for examination in Justice Morris’ court this morning, but the case was continued until next Wednesday afternoon. No dep- uty district attorney was on hand to prose- cute the case. Chief Krauth of the Fire Department ‘was presented to-day with a framed crayon portrait of himself, and a letter expressing the esteem and appreciation in which he is held by the members of the Fire Depart- ment. The picture will be hung in the chief’s office. The Suffrage Auxiliary. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 21,—Tne sem: t] monml%meetinz of the Alameda auxiliary of the Woman’s Suffrage Association _was held yesterday afternoon in G. A. R. Hall, Mrs. Olive E. Babcock presiding. The plan of securing some of the prominent speakers now on the coast and having them come to Alameda was thoroughly discussed. It is the intention of the aux- iliary to hold an all-day meeting in Linder- man’s Opera-house at some future date, to enabie those interested in suffrage work and cannot go to San Fran- cisco to have the opportunity of listening to the speakers. A resolution also was read indorsing the Municipal Ownership Leagne and thanking it for the invitation extended to the auxiliary to attend its meeting. THEIR LABOR IS OVER Two Well-Rnown Alameda County Pioneers Receive Their Final Summons. HAYWARDS, CAL., March 21.—John 8, Finch of Haywards died suddenly last evening about 9 o’clock. He had been in San Francisco all day attending to busi- ness as-usual, but while walking home from the train fell in an epileptic fit at the corner of Third and B streets at 6 o’clock. He was removed to his residence near by, but never regained consciousness. Hem- orrhage of the brain is said to have been the immediate cause of his death. Deceased came to California in 1851 and has been closely connected with mining interests ever since. He was one of the best-known mining men in San Francisco, where be went daily. He leaves consider- able property, a ranch at Elmira alone be- ing valued at $60,000. He leaves a widow and five grown children to mourn his loss. Phineas F. Marston, a resident of Cali- fornia for thirty years, died at his home on Fruitvale avenue this morning after a short iliness. Fora couple of years past his_mind has been clouded, but he re- mained a familiar figure upon the avenue. He leaves a widow and two children. Deceased was a native of Maine, 82 years of age. He had resided on Fruitvale ave- nue many years, being one of the pioneers there. He was a ship-builder and carpen- ter—a sturdy man and a fine type of the mechanic class. He accumulated a mod- est fortune, and his last years were passed in comfort and ease. —————— Class-Day Programme. BERKELEY, CAL., March 21.—The State University elass of '96 is discussing the grogrnmme for the class-day exercises. Some of the members are in favor of some- thing of a variation from the usual pro- gramme of a hop, aspectacle, aconcertand ivy-planting with speeches. Theivy that is so ceremoniously planted generally lives | but a short time, 8o that after a few weeks all that remains of what might be a class memento is a withered 'twig. A suggestion is beim%l considered that the '96 graduates make their class-day ora- tions ofer some permanent improvement that will be really a memorial of the class. Among the schemes mentioned are the construction of a water fountain or a stone walk and the donation of some needed books to the university library. A plan for future graduates to follow is the transplantiug of oaks to shade the «“Students’ Pathway,” as suggested by Regent Reinstein. It is too late for ’96 to attempt to do this, but the matter is receiv- ing attention from other classes. TRAP SHOOTERS. Annual Election of the California In- animate Target Associa- tion.

An Exhibition of Crack College Ath- letes Will Be Added to tlie Floral Display. ' OAKIAND OrFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, March 21. Ex-Mayor W. R. Davis has issued a call to the people of this city to unite in mak- ing the coming Fabiola Floral Fete an un- precedented success. It reads asfollows: The Execuiive Committee of the Fabiols Floral Fete are earnesily at work to make May- ay next not only a succesaful day for the Fa-~ biola Hospital (one of the worthiest and best administered charities of California), but also an Oakland day worthy of the eity .nd.cnumr. The good name of our city is involved in this undertaking as well as the benefit to charity. Last year's fete was an unqualified success. Let us improve upon it this year. We have that much added experience; let us add new zeal to that which made last year’s suceess. city as well as an individual should grow every year. What was enough before is not enough now. During the past year our citizens have learned to co-operate practically and success- fully on three or four different public matters. None was more important than this will be in its bemnr upon the ¢ity’s good name. Other places in the State are astir, and it be- hooves our friends of the charity and of the clty to contribute to the successof Oakland’s coming fete day. A grand floral display, worthy of Oakland and Alamedsa County, will be the central event of the festivities. Ar- rangements have been made to add a most attractive feature, an exhibition of college athletic events by tne athletic team of the University of California, the crack team of the Western intercollegiate States. Their work at this fete will be their last day in California (and their only exhibition day) before their departure for the Eastern intercollegiate con- tests. The wheel contests wiil surpass in im- portance anything before seen here. Other un;a‘cfionl of novelty and interest are to be ed. The desire of the management is to render service to a_splendid charity and to do credit to our city, both in one. The committee be- speak the assistance and the exhibit of every exhibitor of last year and of all other liberal and progressive citizens who have pride in their home cityor interest in her benevolent charities. The’ladies of the Fabiola work year in and year out without compensation OF re- ward except only that which arises from un selfish acts. If they do this work by the year all others oughtto be willing to do their share for the one cay dedicated to such benevolent purposes. The headquarters are at rooms 201-202 Cen- tral Bank building, Fourteenth street and Broadway, Oakland, where the secretary is in daily attendance from 8:30 A. X. to 5 P. M. All questions and correspondence will be courte- ously and gladly answered. Those intending to make floral displays will econfer a favor on the committee by sending in their names Gu’lg with a statement of what the nature of the display is to be. The pressure of details toward the last will' be great, and early infor- mation will be a favor to the committee as well &s a stimulus to others.

BERKELEY, CaL., March 2L.—The col- lege of dentistry of the University of Cali- fornia held the first field day in its his- tory this afternoon on the Berkeley cinder- track. No records were broken, but some reasonably good time was made consider- ing the disadvantages for training under which the tooth-extractors have been labor- ing. All three classes, the freshmen, junior and senior, were represented. ‘- The seniors won the day with 54 points, the freshmen came in second with 43 and the juniors scored 40, What was considered the de- cided feature of the day was the relay race between the three class teams for an ele- gant silver trophy offered by the faculty of the college. In the relay the freshmen won out, and in ¢onsequence carried away the cup. Torrey, Koch and Lloyd, the three well- known record-breakers, entered the open events which came under their specialties. Lioyd vaulted 10 feet 4 Inches, thus add- ing"8_inches to the,record made by himself in the freshman-sophomore field day last Saturday, and avproaching within lg{ inches of ihe coast record. Torrey ran the 120-yard high hurdles, and because he had no one tocrowd him won in 18 séconds. Koch came in for the running high jump, and cleared the bar at 5 feet 6 with an easy lprinf. 5 Following is the summary of events: TRACK EVENTS. 100-yard dash, first heat—Stephens, '98, first; French, 07, second; Haynes, ‘96, third.
