THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1896. 13 HAVE COMPLETED THE PROGRAMME. All the Features of Fabiola Fete Are Made Publie. VETS WILL BE IN LINE. They Will Haul Their Old Hand Fire Engine in the Parade. BURROS ARE BEING TRAINED. The Decorated Car Will Give Concerts Through the County—Lantern Parade. OaxrAND Orrice Sax FRANCISCO CALL,} | 908 Broadway, April 28, The executive committee of the Fabiola fete completed their programme this morning, and a floral fete, decorated pa- rade and interesting bicycle races are as- sured that will eclipse the fiestas recently heid in the southern part of the State. There are over eighty entries in the wheel races, and the large number neces- sitates the running off of the trial heats early in the day. They will therefore be commerced at 10:30 o’clock and it is ex- pected they will be completed by noon. A fine band will be present at the park, and the bicycle race will evidently be one of the features of the day. At noon there will be a recess for lunch, and at_12:30 the great donkey race will be run. Walter Hackett has full charge of the burro race, and on Thursday afternoon he will go to Marin County and bring over twelve burros that would not break away from each other if prodded with red-hot irons. Walter is charged with the job of making the pace and he has the entries in his pocket-book, and he has promised not to make them public till they are weighed in. At 1 r. . the floral parade will com- mence. There are several entries since the last published list, and it is now cer- tain that the pageant will greatly eclipse that of last year. A very desirable arrangement has been made in regard to the decorated wheel parade. When the wheelmen succeed the carriages they meet with great incon- venience on account of the frequent stop- pages, and are unable to show off to the best advantage. On Mayday the decorated wheel parade will commence at 3 o'clock, and some of the most unique designs in decorated wheels will e seen. There will canopies built on wheels and arches of flowers and platforms built on wheels, on which will be floats, and some of the whee!- men have promised to do_something that as vet exists only in their brains. The Burlingame steeplechase will be run off at ). Eleven trained ponies have been brought to the track and some of the best-known members will enter the com- {veu!irxn. There will be half a dozen hurdles to jump and the crack riders of the club will show how it is doneat the country club. The members of the club will come over with their tally-ho coaches and prepare for the race inthe jockeys’ quarters. The finals of the bicycle races will be run off at 4 o’'clock and the National circuit wiil be opened. Very elaborate preparations have been made to acouse enthusissm for the fete. On Wednesday a band will go out with the decorated car and cover Berkeley, Ala- meda and Elmhurst and at midday reach Haywards. It will give concerts en route, and a representative of the fete will be on hand to sell tickets. It will then go around the City. In the evening there will be the lantern parade of decorated wheels. All day Thursday the decorated car and band will tour the City and give concerts. The Exempt Firemen will land at the foot of Broadway pier, San Francisco, at | tering milkcans all along the street. tached to the change, but as Whippieisa Republican and Sanford a Popalist it is at- tributed to the clamor of the Populists for recognition. Mr. Sanford said to-night that he aid not know whom he _wou_ld ap- point, but said it would not be his wife. Board of Works Worked Up. OAKLAND, Car, April 23.—The Board of Works held a stormy meeting to-night and the Mayor openly chargea his two colleagues with voting away public money needlessly for the purpose of creating a deficit. The trouble arose over the pur- chase of a chemical engine. There was a very excited exchange of opinions ang a police officer stood at the door, but City Engineer Wilson and City Attorney Peir- sol listened till the Mavor was through and then adjourned. Owingto the strained feeling the usual farce of trving to elect a chairman to succeed the Mayor was not performed. Will It Work ? OAKLAND, Car., April 28.—Milk In- spector Pierce is wondering if the local milkmen have been working a scheme whereby their milk will stand his test and at the same time water their milk. Re- cently a milkman’s team ran away, scat- Sev- eral cans retained their covers, and by- standers in gathering them up opened several. One was found to contain water. Now the question is, Is the water turned in as it is being taken to the door? Egan Heirs Located. OAKLAND, CaL., April 28.—The estate of William Egan, consisting of $4.618 38, was ordered distributed equally among his eight brothers to-day by Judge Greene. The amount was found to be in the Hi- bernia Bank three years ago and the then Public Administrator of this county began the search which bas resulted in the dead EVOLUTION OF A CHEVROH| Oakland’s Chief of Police Wants Emblems of Rank for His Men. THE MAYOR OBJECTS TO IT. Does Not Wish to See the Finest Look Like Do!ls—Peirsol Is Conservative, OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO -OALL,] 908 Broadway, April 28, | Chief of Police Lloyd is positive. So is Mayor Davie. The Police Commissioners are in doubt. The Chief has reached the conclusion that the Oakland bobby is altogether too plain an individual. He does not refer to his features, for Sergeant Hodgkins and Officer Greenwald are acknowledged to be Beau Brummells of officialdom, but Chief Lloyd refers to the uniforms. He is posi- tive that the officers should wear chevrons. The number of chevrons shall denote the length of time the wearer has been in the service. All well-regulated police forces are addicted to chevrons and chevronels and epaulettes and gold lace and stars and big buttons and visible clubs ana tassels, and yet the Oakland force, which Chief Lloyd believes to be second to none, and which has proved its ability to shoot all around Chief Crowley’s men, is as plain as a bulletin board after a heavy shower. | The Chief has given vent to his griev- ance in a communication sent to the Board of Police Commissioners in which he warmly advocates the use of chevrons. He greatly regrets the poor showing made by his men when on parade and longs to command a body of men whose gold lace shall reflect the rays of the sun and inci- dentally reflect credit to the de‘furtmenc. When the Commissioners read the com- munication from the Chief Messrs. Wilson and Peirsol moved that the matter be taken under advisement. They wanted some time to look at a dictionary, not be- The Citizen’s Reality. man‘s heirs securing the money. He was awarded $100 for his services by the court. The Grand Jury. OAKLAND, Car., April 28.—The Grand Jury this afternoon was_investigating the allezed shooting of William Fought last Sunday at San Leandro by Antone Santos. It is said they will also inauire into the death of William Maloney, who was killed at Sixteenth-street station recently. It has been charged that the man was thrown off the train by a brakeman, At the Macdonough. OAKLAND, OCar., April 28 —Rivarde, the famous violinist, assisted by Lachaume, Keith and grand orchestra, will pack the Macdonough to-morrow night (Wednes- day). Rivarde was tendered a very swell receotion this afternoon by the Friday Morning Club. Captain Impudence” and *“Friends” will be presented on Thursday and Friday. WENDTE—GRANT. Pastor of the Unitarian Church Quietly Wedded and Leaves for the East. OAKLAND, CaL., April 28.—Dr. W. C. Bartlett pronounced Rev. Charles W. ‘Wendte and Miss Abbie L. Grant husband and wife, at 3 o’clock this afternoon, in the presence of about a dozen near relatives. The Grant residenceat 1253 Third avenue was handsomely decorated for the occa- sion, with roses, ferns, smilax and syringa. The hall was in green and white, the library red, the parlor in pink and white and the dining-room in yellow. The cere- mony was performed in the parlor before an immense bank of white and pink roses, partially hidden in smilax and ferns. After congratulations a wedding breakfast was served, at which about a dozen were present. Mr. and Mrs. Wendte were the recipients of many costly presents from friends. They left on the southern overland train at 5:30 for the East, expecting to be gone until the latter part of June. They will visit the principal Eastern cities. EMMA PROPOSED.

An 0Old Wharf. OAKLAND, Car., April 28.—The City Council passed a resolution to the effect “ihat the License Inspector be and is hereby directed to collect forthwith licenses from ‘September 30, 1893, to date, from persons owning, controlling or conducting the private wharf east of Webster street and south of Harrison street ‘produced,” The wharf referred to was that built by J. L. Davie, but was transferred to other arties some time ago. License Inspector ichell says the whark is not in use. City Wharfinger Rutherford says there has been some wharfage collected. Orrison Whipple Removed. OAKLAND, Car., April 28.—Some sur- prise was caused in‘political circles to- night when it became known that Orrison Whipple, who has been for many years deputy in the County Treasurer’s oftice, men's Association. p with a big ball He is charged with perjury by his wife’s sister, in swearing that she was over 18 in securing a marriage license. He is a hunchback, and is not prepossessing. In sp_eé;king of the matter the messenger-boy said: ‘‘My wife proposed to me and then she did the swearing at the County Clerk’s office. I guess her sister, though, does not know all of the facts in the case or she would have insisted on our immediate nnion instead of complaining; for you see Emma and I were very intimate, to an ex- tent that marriage was necessary to pre- serve her good name. The girl’s mother is dead and their father don’t seem to care if Emma is my wife. 1 told him a week ago of our marriage, and he only said, ‘To h— with the girl, [ don’t care.’ “I don’t see what Helen means,” he continued, meditatively. ‘I have always been good to her and the family. I got their brother a job &s messenger with me, and both he and” Helen seemed to encour- age my going with Emma. Whenever she and I would have a quarrel they would try to make us friends again. I remember once when we did not speak that Helen took a quarter and Emma and I guessed the date, with the understanding that the one who came farthest from it should speak first. From things like these 1 thought she wanted us to marry. “What kind of a girl is Helen? Oh, she is one of these high-roliers who want to be society. When my wife was working at one place for a year Helen took all of her wages to_buy clothes for herself and the woman Emma worked for had to buy her a dress to keep her lookiag decent. IHelen isright in line, goes to all of the parties and drinks eyerything in sight. I know of two occasions wnen they had to take her home from swell parties in Frisco because she got so drunk, but she can’t separate my wife and me.” THE NEXT MOVE. Primary Republicans Will Appeal to the State Central Committee. OAKLAND, CaL., April 28,—The Re- publican delegates to the State Conven- tion selected by the primary convention are losinz no opportunity to press their claim for recognition. At a meeting of the delegates last evening it was decided that a delegation should attend the meet- ing of the State Central Committee to- morrow (Wednesday) aiternoon and again present their claim {0 seats in the State and Congressional District conventions. It is anticipated that such action may bring on the chief contest for recognition in the committee in advance of the con- ventions. Whether they are successful or not, it is known that they will select a delegate to Bt. Louis and carry the con- test to the National Convention. An I[I- linois delegation was seated under similar had been removed. Treasurer Sanford says that there is no political significance at- circumstances in 1830, and they believe the precedent would be followed for them, Mayor Davie’s Nightmare. ing quite sure what a chevron might mean. Mr. Peirsol looked with suspicion on the request and was not sure at first that it | wasnot a covert plan to increase the sal- | aries of the officials, and that on a dollar limit would be worse than disastrous. Mayor Davie saw a vision of the future when the evolution of the chevron should be so pronounced thata policeman’s use- fulness would be at an end, while as a muncipal ornament he would be a howl- ing success. g ‘1 do not see why we should make dolls of the officers,” said the Mayor to-night. “The City has no _money with which to buy folderols and I am sure the men do not want to buy ornaments. The plain uniforms have been good enough for past chiefs to command and it does not become a Populist Chief of Police to want his men to look like mixtures of Li Hung Chang and a German lieatenant, If we order cheyrons now where are we going to stop? We shall probably be given reasons in the end for hiding the officer entirely from sight, with decorations. 1t fills me with horror to contemplate the future of such innovations.” “All I want,” said Chief Lloyd, “is a force that will look dignified and well dressed. The Mayor is opposed to any- thing that indicates progress, although I venture to suggest that if ever an ordi- nance were iniroduced providing for a drum-major’s uniform for the Mayor, it would not be vetoed. Marks of rank are recognized as proper in_all organizations, and certainly in the Police Department they would not be out of place.” The matter was very warmly discussed at the meeting of the Commissioners this afternoon. Mr. Peirsol had satisfied him- self that the chevron was not dangerous to either person or property and he and Mr. Wilson voted for the decorations. The Mayo:'s opinion had not changed. SR e S A MILITARY IKSPECTION, prepared by Captain Bush, who was re- cently chosen an aid-de-camp on Governor Budd’s staff. The first battalion will oc- cupy the lower section of the campus, while the second battalion will be stationed behind the trees and to the rear of the library building. The advance will be made by the second battalion, and the first battalion, instead of seeking an ambuscade, will proceed by platoons until the battleground in front of North Hall has been reached, where hostilities will be commenced. In the meantime the unmounted cav- alry company, known as saber company G, will attempt to dislodge the artillery. A special hospital detachment will be on hund with stretchers and biers to look afier the dead, wounded, exhausted and frichtened. The entire grass plat in front of the building was mowed to-day in preparation for the drill anda battle. Recelved Their Money.

SIGNED AWAY A RIGHT T0 SUE, Physically Wrecked by an Accident, John Stymel Has No Redress. TOOK A FEW DOLLARS. When Told of His Condition the Company Donated Him Fifty Dollars. FAMILY AN OBJECT OF CHARITY The Children Have Been Placed Homes and the Father in a Hospital. in OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, April 28. } John Stymel,who was injured last Janu- ary by an electric car on Sixteenth street, is greatly regretting that he signed a re- ceipt in full for damages for $25 immedi- ately after the accident. At this time it was thought the only injury caused by the smash-up was to the dilapidated wagon and injured horse, by which the junkman managed to earn a respectable living for himseif, wife and six children, the oldest less than 14 years ot age. Immediately after the accident a mes- senger from the raiiroad hastened to the injured man’s home to learn the extent of the damage. Stymel, not being of a spec- ulative or grasping turn of mind, and sup- posing himself to be only bruised and shaken up by the accident, permitted the messenger to reckon the damage at $25, which he accepted, giving a receipt to the man for the sum. The messenger evi- dently knew his business, for the receipt was soshrewdly worded asto cover all dam- ages that would likely develop later on. Now the Stymel family weep bitterly as they think of this mistake. Since the day of the accident Mr. Stymel has never been able to earn a dol- lar, and is now a helpless cripple tor life. The slight injuries to his body turned out to be an injured hip and knee. But the worst of all was to his skull, where a portion presses on the brain, causing at times mental aberration and epileptic fits. Mrs. Prescott of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children heard of the case, and upon investigation found it to be far more sad than even represented. Medical aid was provided, but the case of the father was one that required trepan- ning the skull, and Stymel had no means to pay. Groceries were provided for the destitute family by Supervisor Church. Mrs. Stymel, in desperation at the situa- ation, consulted Attorney Foote to learn if a suit could be brought against the rail- road for the purpose of %emn money to partly repay for the terrible calamity and make the crippled father and her little ones as comfortable at least as circum- stances would permit. Mr. Foote read the document signed by Stymel! after the accident and candidly acknowledged that with such a receipt there was no chance to win a suit against the railroad. Mr. Foote, however, ‘rromised, to_place the matter before the directors, and Mrs. Stymel, with hopeful spirits and lightened heart, returned to Oakiand. The result of Foote’s appeal of the distressed case was a *donation” of $50. To-morrow will be the last day Mr. Stymel will spend with his family. ~After )zesrinfz the pathetic situation of Mr. Stymel’s case Dr. A. Miles Taylor has generously offered, in response to Mrs. Prescott’s appeal, to take the sufferer into his new sanitarium, on Telegraph avenue, free of all charge, and to treat him to the best of his ability, hoping to restore his mind to its normal condition, as his poor cnppled body is past human aid. O1 the family of little ones two have been placed in the Temescal Home, one in the Beulah Orphanage, onein a San Fran- cisco asylum, leaving the mother with the two eldest. Not many iens ago Stymel was a pros- perous merchant. e met loss after loss until he was compelled to keep a junkstore to support his family, which he did until the fatal day of last January, when he met with the accident that has ruined his fam- ily and home. HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, April 27.

Swain by his daughter, Nellie Leavitt Code, will come up for hearing bef cre Judge Greene and a jury on June 16. The estate is valued at $115,000, James Stanley of Mission San Jose said to- day that the vineyards at that place have not suffered by the late frost, being thus a happy exemption to the bad juck of most other districts. The sale of eighty-five shares of the stock of the Pacific Gas Improvement Company. be- longing to the estate of George E. Whitney to R. G. Brown, trustee, for $7202 75 has been approved. William Moir has sued Emilie G. Cohen and Arthur G. Cohen on a note for $10,000. He aileges the defendants have come into posses- sion of $15,000 as agents of his and refuse to pay it over.

Lazzeritto, who are charged with being impli- cated in the murder of Felice Verni, has been continued until to-morrow to be set. The prosecution expects to make out a stronger case against these defendants than they did against Michael Ghirardelil. ‘William E.

BUTTERFIELD, Auctioneer, 19 Montgomery st. ) NEW ELECTRC PLANT Alameda Is to Have a New Light, Heat and Power Company. The City Authorities Ridicu’e the Idea—Alameda Cyclers’ Anniversary. ALAMEDA, Car., April 28.—The sen- sation of the day occurred when F. N. Delanoy, representing the Fort Wayne Company, came down Park street this morning “like a wolf on the fold,” and displayed a paper which he said was the charter of the Alameda Electric-light, Heat and Power Company. When ques- tioned as to whence the franchise ema- nated, he replied by saying that no fran- chise was necessary from the City Trus- tees, as section 19 of the State constitution gave the company due wers to com- mence operations, and only required it to enter into necessary stipulations with the city to conserve its streets and pay pre- scribed damages for any injury com- mitted. Mr. Delanoy said that five promi- nent Park-street merchants were deeply interested In the scheme. Who these gen- tlemen are is not ascertainable at present, but as the company will be incorporated in a few days, with a capital of $100,000, fully paid up, according to the same authority, the withholding of the names does not cut any figure. The purposes of the enfant terrible will be: 1. To manufacture, purchase and sell light, heat and power. 2. To construct and operate wire lines, with necessary poles and appliances. 8. To buy, own and sell real estate. The city authorities take little stock in the affair, and with an incredulous smile say Delunoy is but drawing to anace in an already opened jackpot. The expression may not be tasteful, but is thought ex- pressive. Coming Events.

ALAMEDA, Cavn.,, April 28,—An elderly woman hailing, so she says, from the pur- lieus of San Francisco, named Mary Eaton, was lodged in the city tombs this morning. The private gardens of the city are now showing such a wealth of bloom and color that the temptation proved too strong for Mary. She was in the neigh- borhood of Santa Clara avenue and Sher- man street and must needs pull some of the choicest roses off the bushes and root up smaller plants to carry back with her.
