Mrs. | Rogers ‘and children all escaped without broken bones as did Sanders. Miss Lin- guist was picked up unconscious and re- mained so until she was brought to Dr. B. | T. Mouser’s residence in Temescal. She received a slight concussion of the brain, and the physician says some of her ribs are broken. The fleeing horses ran into and demol- | ished another wagon further down the hill, but the occupants all escaped injury. The injured were all brought as far as Temescal by the Olsen brothers, who had also been out for the day. DR. COY He Was Pastor of the Church Where Ingersoll Lectured. OAKLAND, CAL., April 18.—There was an error in the published report of Colonel Ingersoll’s Chicago speech in this morn- | ing’s papers, and Rev. Dr. Coyle supplies | the correction. The report stated that the Church Militant, before which Ingersoll spoke, was composed of “‘the major portion of the former adherents of the Fullerton- | avenue Presbyterian Church.”’ “This 1s not correct,”’ said Dr. Coyle. “I was for six years pastor of the Fullerton- | avenue Church before coming out here, and am very familiar with the matter. I| was also back there two years ago. In- | stead of the major portion of my old | church going to the Church Militant, only | ten members went and not one more. As | the membership is many hundreds the | secession did not really count. The | Church Militant was composed of mem- i bers from many other bodies.” MAY CHANGE POWER.

OARLAND OFFICE BAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 8 Broadway, April 13, ( James A, Wagner has succeeded in tir- ing out Judge Wood, and when his case ! comes up again he will be released from | farther attendance on the court. Wagner | is the step-father of Abe Majors, one of the | boy safe-crackers who made so much his- | tory in a short time a few weeks ago. Mrs. Wagner, who secured a divorce | from her husband for cruelty several | years ago, had him arrested several months ago for not supporting his two young children. For several years she lost sight of Wagner, nor did she learn of his whereabouts until she saw that he had taken out a marriage license to wed again. | He was brought to Oakland prison two days after his marriage and was released for a month to see what he would do. At the end of the mouth it was the same old story and Wagner was again confined for a day or two. This was continued for sev- eral times and Wagner always told the | same pitiful story. He was sick; he was | canvassing for photographsand his income | was small, and as he'had a home he would | like to look after the children himself. | A few weeks ago Wagner turned the tables on his wife’'s witnesses. He learned business to call at their houses and soljcit business. The unusual proceeding caused no great amount of surprise till all the | parties were in_court.

BISE S ONLY A TIILE Lives in a Hut and Declares That He Has Not a Cent Left. His Wife's Friends Expect Soon to See Him With Another Castle and Wif. OARLAND OFFICE SA¥ Fravcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway,; April 12, § Don Manuel Rose, the Portuguese noble- man of Warm Springs, received some very discouraging news to-day. The sec- retary of the Supreme Court informed | his attorney that all the judgments in favor of his wife had been affirmed and that he is now wifeless, fortunelessand houseless. All that remains for him, ac- cording to his own story, is the title of | Don, which he inherited and over which American courts have no jurisdiction. Mrs. Maria Rose is now a free woman, the owner of Castle Rose and of other property. The troubles of the Roses have been in several of their addresses and made it his | uestioned the witnesses on Wagner's | est pov- | | and was accepted. Reipento| Mrs. Wagner is now in the dee; | erty and distress, as her son who | support her is in San Quentin. Sheriff ‘White has driven the woif from the door | on several occasions, and the Supervisors | have been asked to aid, but the broken- hearted woman persists in keeping her | two young children and is not comforta- | | ble if they are out of her sight. | “I cannot do any more with that man Wagner,” saia Judge Wood. *‘He is not | strong. He is tricky and has no business. This 1s a case in which the law can afford no relief. He makes a showing each time morally and | legally bound to_support Lis cuildren it is | impossible for a Judge to draw blood from | astone.

W. Ellis is one of the leading advo- | cates of the movement, and he sees in it more than the mere investing of the | Trustees with a little additional power.

I am aware that there #re gentlemen here whose judgment commands respect who hold it is not wise to make this change. Their position is that the town is not ready for it, that the moral stamina and average inteiligence are not high enough to justify the experiment. The logic of their argnment 1s not that the charter is iworthy of the town, but that the town t for the charter. The old charter not i 1 the State is turning more and more There are current many wrong notions as to the effect of the pro- posed change. Some think that reincor- poration is the same thing as bonding. They declare that if the scheme carries the ill be immediately swamped with 5 taxes. All these ideas will be thoroughly exploded and exploited before the election.” WERECK ON THE GRADE. Pleasure-Seekers Come to Grief Return- ing From the Moraga Valley. OAKLAND, Car.,, April 13.—A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Rogers their three children, Frank Sanders of ley and Mrs. Rogers' sister, Miss Emma Linguist of Adeline street, Oak- land, were wrecked on the grade between this city and the Moraga Valley Sunday afternoon. The brake of their conveyance gave way and the horses became unman- ageabie, when tha kingbolt broke and dumped the whole load out into the road. Rogers was dragged 100 feet and tightly wedged under the wagon. He was badly for the silurianism of the past. | t the new Livermore, toward | Police Judge of the city, in the examina- | tion of felony cases, as committing magis- trate, is not entitled to extra compensa- tion from the county, and says tbat icis evident all costs occasioned by offenses | | committed within the charter limits of the | city of Oakland should be paid by the city | and not by the county. This will result in a large saving to tne | county, as the fee is $3 in each examina- | tion, which in the past has been allowed to the extent of many thousand dollars. | A bill for $153, coverirg the six months | ending December 31, 1805, was rejected. | County Expert Fred A. Davis recom- | mended that a statement of the full | amount paid out in this way be prepared | and submitted to the District Attorney, | who, if he sees fit, shall begin suit to re- cover the amount from the city of Oak- | land. This was adopted and Davis ordered | to prepare the statement. —_— | LEFT WITHOUT FOOD, | Mrs. { | Jorgensen’s Story of Shocking Neglect and Treatment. OAKLAND, CaL., April 13.—Mrs. Eliza- | beth Jorgensen has filed suit for divorce | from Peter Jorgensen and in her complaint tells a story of most shocking neglect. 8he charges cruelty, desertion and failure to provide. The couple live in the hills about two miles back of Dublin and have 480 acres of land valued at about $5000. He lets his land lie idle and works for wages. For a year past he has refused to provide for his family, leaving them almost destitute. When the last child was born he refused to provide nurse or doctor, leay- ing his wife alone with one of the children and did not return for three months. Mrs. Jorgensen is informed that her husband some time ago received $10,000 from relatives in Germany, which e has put away, and refuses to give her a dollar. .

OAKLAND, Cavn., April 13.—The Ala- meda County Christian Endeavor Union is making extensive preparations to be well represented at the approaching State convention of the organization to be held May 14 to 17. Last year there were over 300 in attendance at Sacramento, and no doubt there will be as many to attend this year. The railroad hasgranted a rate of one and a third fare from all portions of the State. A full fare will be paid going and a certificate of that fact from the pur- chasing agent which, when it is signed by the State secretary at the convention, will be honored for a ticket homeward bound for-one-third fare. The headquarters of the local delegation will be at the St. James Hotel, which will be tested to accommodate all who will at- tend from here. The rate will be $150 a day, makirce the total expense for the four days less than $8. % : The county delegation will go down on Thursday afternoon, May 14, arriving in San Jose in time to have dinner and pre- are for the opening session at 7:30 in the Eig tabernacle. Those who cannot go at that time owing o business affairs will go down on the Friday evening train, get- ting into San Jose in time for the evening session. Returning, the greater part of the delegation will come up on the early morning train Monday, May 18; but arrangements will be made to accom- modate those who desire to remain a few days longer.

Courses May Be Combined—Professor Watson Coming — Sanitary District Election. BERKELEY, Car., April 13.—It was announced to-day that Dr. Joseph Le Conte, the veteran geologist at the State University, will discontinue his lectures | in elementary and structural geology and | in zoology during the next academic year, with the view of confining his attention to the higher under-graduate and the post- graduate courses. The announcement was not altogether a surpri se to the students, as the change had been anticipated for some time past, and in consequence an unusually large num- ber are taking Dr. Le Conte’s courses this year, fearing that it might be their last ovportunity. The other members of the faculty have been prevailing upon the | distinguished geologist for the past two vears to give up his elementary courses, est in his advancing years the work would beardown upon him too heavily. Last year they made a special appeal to him to lighten his labors, but he said that he wished to continue in the same chan- nel for at Jeast another year. Though Dr. Le Conte celebrated his‘ seventy-third birthday in February he does not show the least sign of a decline in strength and activity, save a slight drooping of the shouldeérs, He says that he feels asvigorous to-day as he did ten | vears ago. To show how he has kept up Lis daily work it only needs to be said that he has missed but one daily reci- | tation in seven years. It is now just| forty years since Dr. Le Conte began teach- ing geological science. Much regret has been expressed by the students because of Dr. Le Conte’s inten- tion to cease giving his elementary lec- tures, as they have grown to be amongthe most popular courses in the university. In his geology course alone there are nearly 200 students enrolled. May Combine the Courses. |E BERKELEY CaL., April 13.—The facul- ties of the colleges of natural science and under consideration a plan to more closely connect the two coursesand thus to shorten the time requisite for graduation from If adopted, there will be a six-vear course—three in the College of Nataral Science at Berkeley and three in the Medical College in San Francisco. The student, upon the completion of the six- year course, will receive the degree of B.S. and M.D., whereas under the present system he must do seven years of satis- factory work before getting his two de- grees.” It is generally considered among the students at Berkeley that such an in- novation will prove to be of great benefit. Sanitary District Election. BERKELEY, Car., April 13.—The citi- zens of the Adeline sanitary district will hold an election next Wednesday, calling for the issuance of $7000 bonds, to be ex- pended in the construction of a main sewer to connect with the bay. The polling-place will be at Caldwell Hall, and the polls will be open for the usual length of time. The officers will_be as follows: Judges, | R. Caldwell and M. M. Skewey; inspect- ors, L. Chalower and N. Pushey; ballot clerks, L. Quanich and F. Ollerich; clerks, E. K. Mains and H. Germain. The election will be conducted under the general law of the State. Professor Watson Coming. BERKELEY, Cal., April 13.—Professor ‘Watson, head of the department of nhilos- phy at Queen’s College, Canada, who is to visit the Univegsity of California for the purpose of defivering a public lecture before the Philosophical Union, will leaye his home in a-few days, so as to arrive here by the 1st of May. Co-Ed Contest. BERKELEY, CAL., April 13.—There is a strong probability of another intercol- legiate co-ed contest being held in the near future. Stanford has a co-ed tennis club and ivis understood that the young ladies are anxious to send a challenge to Berkeley. the courts since February, 1894, and when a judgment was reached in the Superior Court several months ago an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court and an affir- mation of judgment was entered to-day. Every step of the case was stubbornly con- tested and the trial occupied thirty days. Rose was regarded as a petty monarch at Warm Springs, and every day a large con- tingent of his and his wife’s friends came down to see and hear and testify. Attorney F. W. Fry, who conducted the prosecution, gained nlj)udgment mnmg by impeachment of the Davis witness. Even the court was forced to acknowledge that there was danger of more witnesses being held for perjury. Attorneys G. C. Langan, C. C. Hamilton, Welles Whitmore and E. M. Gibson ap- peared for Rose, and during the trial it was learned that he was quite wealthy. After the judgment of the lower court was rendered the Sheriff was ordered to install Mrs. Rose at Castle Rose, and when he visited the homestead he found it protected by armed men. Not anxious to precipitate bloodshed the deputy with- drew, and after Rose was convinced that he had nothing to gain by force he quietly left and when the deputy went again the ranch was vacated. Don Rose then went to live in a little hut owned by his brother. He declared that he had nothing left in the world and his wife had all. f{e says he has not a dollar and is still living in poverty. Mrs. Rose says he has merely been representing that he was poor for the purpose of back- ing up points made in his appeal. He still exercies bis influence in the Portu- guese colony, and it is expected that he will now build himself another castle and take another wife who has no mother living, as his experience in the past with a mother-in-law is not pleasant to him. ——————— REAL ESTATE TRANBACTIONS, Charles H.and Annie L.
