THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1896. 13 HOPS NOT T0 BE MOVED, N Manager Kruttschnitt Denies Many Rumors of West Oakland, ARE ENLARGING THE PLANT. A Statement That Wiil Help Greatly to Restore Confidence in the West End. OARLAND OFFICE, Sax 908 Broadw axcrsco CALL,) April 22, 7§ | West Oakland is not to be deserted by the railroad. Aitbough Manager Krutt- schnitt did not mention the future plans of the Southern Pacific Railroad at the meeting of the West Oakland Improve- ment Club last night he has since ex- pressed himseli very clearly on that im- portant matter. “I had supplied myself with some data from Mr. Wilder,” said Mr. Kruttschnitt to-day, “‘expecting to be ed about West Oakland. We are emvlo g more men at the shops now than we did five years ago, though times are not so good now as they were then. The amount of wages which we pay monthly to the employes in Oak- land is about $140,000. his amounts to over $1,600,000 a year. The shops in Oak- land, as everywhere else, are increasing in size owing to the increase of the business of the company. We have before this been obliged to hold back increasing our shops owing to the dull times. “‘Tke story that we are contemplating the removal of our shops from Oakland is one of the strangest stories I have ever heard. Ican’t imagine where it started. | Tk isno foundation for it. As anac- | tual fact, a small increase in size is being built to the Oakiand shops. This is being | done on the recommendation of Mr. Wilder | and Mr. McKenzie, becau: t is impossi- ble to do the work required with the preseni accommodations. This addition will result in giving three additional en- | tall to the machine-shop for the re- ir of locomotives. I cannot tell, off d, the number of iocomotives repaired in the Oakland shops, but it is very large. | Leaving out the shops at Sacramento and | ich are the two big terminals | Southern Pacific, 1 think the shops and come next in the number of of Oa men. . ‘We have no idea of establishing shops in San Francisco to handle work now done D That would be very incon- and we could have no motive for ven doing it.

Mr. Curtis has been giving some )n to the matter, and has appeared e Government engineer and has ne stowing about the bridges. It been claimed that the bridges are ob- ons in many ways, but what will be done in making the changes needed I do know.

It Was in Trying to Prevent Injury heavily. T would like to know how badly he is hurt.” Robert Abrahams, who was a witness to the accident, said that there was a party of four tramps, and that the Hamilton brothers were two of them. “I first saw them talking to Officer | Sherry,”’ said Abrahams to-night, “‘and after they left him I watched them go to- ward the depot. Thomas Hamilton and | his brother attemvted to board the plat- form between the baggage cars, and when | James slipped Thomas pulled him out | from under the wheels. When he had done so he started to walk sideways across the track with his back to the Napa train. The cowcatcher struck him and killed | him almost instently. His brother was | almost insensible and did not know what | was happening. The other two tramps | made off after they saw the accident and | did not attempt to get aboard. From | what I heard them saying they had made | up their minds to beat their way to Phila- | delphia.” It was reported to the Coroner that | James Hamilton was drunk and that his brother was trying to persuade him not %o | board the train when the accident hap- | pened. James Hamilton and Abrahams | deny this and say that all were guite so- ber. The deceased was once a soldier in | the British army. REV.

Four Times the Board of Works Has Tried to Elect Wilson as Chairmzn 0ARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 508 Broadway, April 22, } If Commissioner Wilson ever becomes chairman of the Board of Works he will have to vote to place himself in that posi- tion. “I've got Commissioners Wilson and Commissioner, Mayor Davie, to-day.” They have run the Board of Works to suit them- selves for a year, and they will whistle be- fore I will help to make Wilson chairman.” The charter says that the Board of Works and Boara of Police and Fire Commission- ers, the personnel of which is the same, shall, at the commencement of each year of office, elect a chairman. The year was up two weeks ago and no electior. has been held, and Mayor Davie still presides. | Twice a week the following little farce is carried out in the office of the board : Commissioner Peirsol—The time having | arrived when according to the charter we | must elect a chairman, nominations are now in order. After a moment’s silence, Mr. Peirsol—I nominate Mr. Wilson. Commissioner Wilson—Do I hear a second ? The Mayor—Not unless you whispered it yourself. {r. Peirsol—I have placed Mr. Wilson in nomination. The Mayor laughs and without rising says—Well, gentlemen you have stuck to- gether against me all the year and I do not intend to force my vote upon you. I have been a minority for the whole year and I shounld feel uncomfortable in ‘any other role. Go ahead, gentlemen, and elect my successor. I shall not interfere. Vote for yourself, Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson—Well, I think— Mr. Peirsol—Well, I think— The Mayor—Well, I'm — sure —. The board aajourns. The little farce was played to a full house for the fourth time yesterday afternoon and will be presented again to-morrow. *'It’s all a farce, a;howling, hollow farce,” said the Mayor this afternoon. “[‘ve said all along that the board, as at present con- stituted, is a mountebank show, but if end- men Wilson and Piersol think they can make a clown of me, they are like the Street Superintendent’s lumber calcula- tions—a little off. Mr. Wilson says that propriety forbids him from seconding his own nomination, but he declines to add anything to his pre- viously expressed opinions of the Mayor. City Attorney Peirsol declares that no inconvenience will follow the deadlock, as achairman must act till his successor is chosen. The Mayor has in his office one of the well-kuown conundrum pictures: ‘““When shall we three meet again?” and he says it is particularly appropriate. Meanwhile to His Companion That the Fatality Occurred. OARLAND OFFIcE 8ax FrANCISCO OALL, 908 Broadway, April 22, } Thomas Hamilton, who with his brother was beating his way to Philadelphia, was killed at Sixteenth-street station this even- ing and James Hamilton was run over and lost portions of both feet. The dead man lost his life while trying to save his brother. James does not yet know that his brother sacrificed his life, as it is feared the shock might be more than he can bear at present. The accident occurred as the overland express was drawing out of the depot and the Napa train was coming in at 6:30 ». ». There were few witnesses to the fatal- ity, as the men were between the trains at the time it happened snd were shut out from view. The Atlantic express had just started when some one cried out that two men were under the wheels. This was not so, for Thomas was under the East- bound train and James was being crushea by the Napa train. Thomas was fearfully mutilated by the wheels and was removed to the Morgue. James was at once sent to the Receiving Hospital, and an examination showed that 1t was necessary to amputate a portion of both feet. The operation was performed the political band plays on. e HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Short Chapters.

The Victim Was a Faithful Worker, Who Was Trained in the Oak- land Garrison. OARLAND OFFICE 8AN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, April 22. | Information has been received from Captain Stedman regarding the death of | Captain Jonas Matheson of the Sa]vation | | Army, who was drowned while attempt- ing to ford the Mad River in making the | trip from Arcata to Trinidad. Captain Matheson was trained at the Oakland garrison, and was well known as a persistent seller of War Crys on the street. With his lieutenant, George Lin- voted | ell, he was making the tour of his out- | riders' circuit with his horse and cart. They attempted about noon on Sunday to cross the river, which, owing to the recent raiy}:, had become eight feet deep and very swiit. Captain Stedman, in a letter just re- ceived, says: ‘*‘As they approached the middle of the stream the water got so deep that when the matter came up this even- | that the boys began to get alarmed, and | ing there was no opposition, but a few | were about to turn back, when a sudden | | rush of water upset the cart.

Itis supposed that the bodies of both the captain and his horse have been washed out to sea. Everybody in the Salvation Army on the coast knows ‘“the little Lapp.” He was very short in stature, but very earnest and active. Jonas went to school on the little island of Buo off the north coast of Norway till he was old enongh to go to sea. While leading a sailor's life he came in contact with the Salvation Army and was led to change his manner of living. He was drinking in a saloon with some shipmates when some War Cry lassies en- tered and engaged Jonas in conversation. He accepted an invitation to attend the meetings and soon afterward was con- verted. A little later he entered the train- ing garrison in this city and was prepared for an officer.

Wilson, Alias Graham, Arrested for Swindling an Oakland Man. For the past ten days Detective George H. Graham and Policeman George O. Brown have been searching for the two men who swindled John O’Connor of Oak- land out of $200 by the top-and-bottom dice game in Matt Kerr's saloon, on Hal- leck and Leidesdorff streets. 0'Connor answered an advertisement in the Examiner for a partner to go to Alaska, and met the advertiser and a friend according to appointment. 1t was arranged he should return next day with $200, ana he did so. The three went to Kerr’s saloon, and after a few drinks they got him to take a hand in a dice gume, and he parted with his $200. He held on to one of the men and asked Kerr to go for a policeman, but Kerr refused and the man got awa! Yesterday Grabam and Brown arrested L. E.

BERKELEY CATCHER DISABLED First Game of the Trio of Intercolle- giate Contests on the Diamond on the U. C. Campus. BERKELEY, Car., April 22. — With flying colors the Stanford baseball nine | walked off the Berkeley diamond this afternoon, after having defeated the Uni- versity of California team in the first of the series of three games for the season of 96 by a score of 14 to 8. There was keen interest in the game and a big crowd on the campus. At the out- set and until the fifth inning things looked as though they were going Berkeleywise, but the tide turned when the game was almost exactly half through, and from that point on the Stanford men had things very much their own way. The disabling of Wheeler did much to turn the tide in favor of the cardinal bearers, as he ap- peared groggy from that point on. McLaine did distinguishing work from the pitcher’s box during the greater part of the game, but toward the last he grew somewhat erratic. The Berkeley men batted him much more easily than they anticipated. His extraordinary quickness in playing did much to balance up his work. Morden was steady throughout, but showed signs of weakness toward the last. The summary shows that he gave only four men bases on balls, while Me- Laine gave eight. Itisa difficult matter to decide which of the two pitchers did the better work. Wherein one failed the other did not, and vice versa. As for the catehers, Jeffs did the better work, after the disabling of Wheeler, as a natural consequence. The outtield work of the Stanford men was somewhat better than that of Berke- ley without 2 doubt. The game seems to have been lost in the fifth inning, when Wheeler failed to catch from Krug and when he was fouled by Taylor. The odds were much in favor of Berkeley, and doubtless the victory would have gone to her but for the ill-fortune of the fifth in- ning. Berkeley took the bat, and within ten minutes after the call of time had scored two runs. These were made by ‘Wheeler and Johnson. When the Stan- ford men came to the bat Taylor struck a hard-sent ball, but was caught out on first. In attempting to make first he fouled Hennessey heavily. Jeffs came up next and scored a run for the cardinal. Harris is put out on first and Young on second. In the next Krug sent the ball far into the right field and was caught out. Proctor struck out and Hoag was thrown out. Following is the complete summary of the game beginning with the inning: In the second half of the secona Sharp struck out, Thompson fouled to Catcher Wheeler and Stanbury takes his base on balls. Freeman knocks a sky flyer into right field and is caught by Hoag and the Berkeley men come to the bat again. The inning opens. Elston takes his base on being hit by the pitcher. He is thrown out on second. Young on first makes a brilliunt stop from the shortston and right here the Berkeley men com- mence their good work of scoring, though it lasted for but a short time. Hennessey takes his base on error of the first baseman, who missed a pop fly. Wheeler and Hennessey botn make bases on astrike of Johnson. Wheeler scores his second run,and immediately after- ward McLaren knocks a single and scores Hennessey. Morden takes the batand is struck out, with McLaren and Johnson on bases. Hoag is put out on first and leaves Johnson on third, when Stanford comes to the bat again. Pitcher McLaine flew out to Johnson and Taylor takes his base on balls. Jeffs is next to strike. Morden assists to siston, and Tayloris put out. Harrisis soon after put out on an assist by Krug. Three men out, and Berkeley takes the bat for the beginning of the fourth. Krug flew out to the shortstop and Proctor strikes to left field and is missed by Stanbury. Elston is next up, and Proctor is put out on second by an assisi of McLaine to second baseman. Hen- nessey flew out to second and Wheeler is left on first. Stanford again. Young flew out to Hennessey and Sharp flew out to McLaren. Thompson takes his base on balls and is put out on first by a very clever left-hand catch of Morden. . ‘When the U. C. men come up again Johnson fiies out on the second strike; McLaren is put out also by an assist of . McLaine to first. Morden knocks a high center fielder out and takes the first bag. Hoag makes first on his second strike and Krug flies out to_the catcher. Three men out and the cardinal again at the bat. Sharp makes a base hit and brings in two men. The gameis just half through at this point, with the score standing eightto four in favor of Stanford. The old-time **hoodoo” strikes Berkeley and be- fore the close of this inning Stanford scores seven runs, which win for the Palo Alto boys the game. Freeman follows Sharp and makes first on an error of McLaren. McLaine now takes the bat and reaches the first bag. Then came the crisis, which ran up the score of the cardi- nal and laid out Berkeley’s catcher. Krug throws from third to Wheeler at the home piate on a strike by Taylor, for the pur- pose of putting out Freeman who was on third. The ball came low and Wheeler muffed. This error cost Berkeley gmc two runs, as Freeman and McLaine both came home. Jeffs comes to the bat and makesa two- base hit. Morden throws to Wheeler again at the plate, but before the ball reaches him he is heavily fouled by Tay- lor, which laid him out for ei%ht minutes. Jeffs gets in also at this break in the game. Wheeler,in a half-dazed condition stands up and works like a Trojan warrior, but despite his etforts to hold up nis end of the battery Stanford scored three more runs before their third man was put out, thus making the score 8 to 4 in their favor, having had only one run when the inning began. In the first of the sixth Proctor went up and was put out by an assist from Sharp to Young. Wheeler flew out to second; Hennessey makes second on his last strike and Elston makes home from second. Johnson strikes to third and is put out by third while waiting for third to throw the ball to first. A clever play was registered at this point for Sharp on third. In the second of the sixth McLaine knocks to Johnson in left, who makes one of the most costly errors of the day. Mc- Laine goes down one base with Taylor at the bat. Taylor takes his base on balls. McLaine gets home on the strike of Jeffs, who is himself put out on first by a brilliant throw from Krug.. Harris comes up and brings in Taylor. Harris gets on d, when Young takes the bat. Harris runs in and Sharp is struck out by Morden. Thompson is put out on first, and the score stands 11 to 5 in favor of the cardinal, with the game just half through. With Befialey at the bat, McLaren takes his base on balls. Morden goes to first on balls. McLaine, who had up to this time pitched good ball, was becoming wild and erratic, e put tremendous force into his throws and made the balls to follow one another in quick succession, but to little effect, save the burning of the catcher’s hands. MecLaren is put out on second while steal- ing a base. ‘‘Diddy” ang is put out on first by a right-fielder and Morden comes home, while Krug makes first. Proctor is the third man to strike out and the Stan- ford men again have a chance at the bat. Stanbury goes out and Freeman takes a base on balls. McLaine makes first on a hit to Taylor and soon steals to third. Jeffs is caught out on first and McLaine at the home-plate by a brilliant catch of eeler. In the first of the eighth Elston is put out on first; Wheeler takes his base on balls. Hennessey scores a base hit and ‘Wheeler gets to second. Hennessey is put out by a crack play of Harris. McLaren fouls out, with two men on bases. In the end of the eighth Young gets his base on an error by Eiston. He makes his Tun home on an error of Proetor, the cen- ter fielder. Sharp strikes out and Stan- bury flies out to McLaren. Thompbson flies out to Johnson in the left field, and the cighth inning is ended. Only half of the ninth was glayed, as the victory belonged to Stanford without the playing of the second hali. Morden takes the bat and fouls out; Proctor strikes out, and Hoag gets to second on a hard fielder. Krag then makes first on a right center fielder. Hoag and Krug both score on Elston’s two-bagger, and Wheeler takes his base on balls. Hennessey fouls twice into the crowd of small boys on the side jines, and Wheeler makes a good steal. Johnson knocks a fly to Jeffs and the game is ended, with a score of 14to8 in favor of the cardinal. SPANFORDS. B. R. B.H. 8.B. P.O. A BE. Tayior, 8. 8...

BERKELEY, CaL., April 22.—Much bit- terness has been aroused in the fight for the office of postmaster of Berkeley to suc- | incumbent, whose | ceed McCarthy, the term expires on April 28. Deputy Marshal C. T. Kerns, who is one of the aspirants for the place and who claims to have the support of Congress- man English, is indignant at the methods he claims have been used to defeat him. Mr. Kerns says his opponents have sent to Washington many slanderous statements with a view to injuring his reputation and | his chances. ““My character must be very bad in ‘Washington,” said Mr. Kerns, “and 1 sup- pose those who have received the slander- ous statements and_ atfidavits that have | been forwarded wonder why I am not in San Quentin.” Postmaster McUarthy is a candidate for reappointment, but as he is a Republican be is not thought to have much chance of success. Otuer candidates are N. P. Byrne and Ole Vincent. More Bonds Agitation. BERKELEY, CaL., April 42.—Agitation to bond the town has again arisen, in spite of the defeat of bonds at two recent special elections. The West Berkeley Pro- gressive Club has come out in opposition to the special tax for $22,500, which will be voted on on May 16. A meeting of the club was held last night and the members decided to make a strong effort to defeat the direct tax, so that another effort may be made to secure bonds. An opinion was secured from Cary How- ard, an Oakland attorney, that a bonds election could legally be held in which wharf and school bonds were combined under the head of municipal improve- ments. It is thought by members of the club that in such an election both propo- sitions wounld carry, as each would receive the benefit of the affirmative strength of the other. A committee consisting of F. Wilkes, Charles Geirrim, J. P. Renas and Thomas ‘Wilson was appointed to secure a8 man in each ward of the town to work against the direct tax and in favor of bonds. The direct _tax measure may be carried by a majority vote, two-thirds majority not being needed, as in the case of bonds, and the general impression among those interested in such matters is that the measure to be voted upon on May 16 will carry.

Masonic Hall Decorations—Three Boys Caught by the Tide While Afier Oysters. ALAMEDA, CaL., April 22.—To-morrow evening the Masonic fraternity will have an open meeting, to which all Master Ma- sons, their wives and families have been invited. For the past two months the lodgeroom, ante-chambers and banquet- halls have been undergoing a thorough overhauling. Now the refurnishing and redecorating is completea and the crafts- men have been called off to view the handi- work of their more expert brethren. Only one verdict will be pronounced, and that is that Oak Grove lodgeroom is the inost beautiful on the coast. The brothers Shafer, Frederick and Otto, hold a high reputation for scenic painting, and they have put their best efforts and talents into embellishing and beautifying the walls and ceiling. In addition to the symbols peculiar to the cult, the walls carry fine, large land- scapes over their whole length, viewed as it were from the open porticos of a colon- nade, the porticos and pillars forming the frame of the picture. 'lee subjects treated are both ancient and modern, the mighty snow-capped Shasta and the sublimity of the famous Yosemite Valley being local exemplifications of the wonderful works of the G. A. 0. T. U. broadly conceived and faithfully depicted. For the others the Shafer brothers have confined themselves to the Holy Land, and given splendid rep- resentations of t! ‘Cedars of Lebanon,” “The River Jorden” and the ‘‘Road to Auction Jales PAVILION AUCTION HOUSE. 319-321 Sutter Street, above Grant ave.

Preston & McKinnon, the old lumber firm which has been engaged in business in San Francisco for many yeats, has de- cided to close its career and leave the com- mercial and manufacturing arena. With this end in view it is rapidly disposing of its stock and various business interests and winding up its affairs. Recently Mr. McKinnon died. The re- moval of the active partner induced the remaining owners to discontinue trading and leave the field to others. TLe lumber industry of late years has not been as profitable as heretofore for all eneaged in 1t here, and this, too, had its weight in in- | ducing the firm to retire. A Mining Man Robbed.

He said he was robbed by a woman on Tuesday night of $160, and ‘he thought he could identify her again. e It is only 300 years since the potato was introduced in England. f\smart Broadway, New York, druggist has this sigr hanging outside his store; it marks the new era of drug selling, Is it any wonder that he has to enlarge his quar- ters, that his clerks are busy, and that his store is one of the most popular along the leading thor- oughfare? ou can afford to trade with a druggist that has such a motto as that.
