Young, who has been threatened with tar and feathers for his messianic methods at Fruitvale, has taken a new stand. He declares that Mrs. Lnsher}ms been made a new woman by his teachings and thather mind is not unbalanced. Young isnot a coward, however much of a crank he may be. He has recognized that it was wise for him to withdraw from Lieutenant Lasher’s home, but he has ay 23,1896, Marguerite | 7Y M 4 > 1 and fourth daughter of | with his family on the corner of Lynde ™S, aged b years 1 month | gnd Sunset avenues, Fruitvale. —In Alameda, at his residence, 2025 ia Schnelder, pative of Ger- om his late resi- Theiss, a native of ears 5 months and beloved hus- only moved a few blocks away. He is now “That threatening letter was thrown on the grass early Tuesday morning,” said Young to-day. ‘It was written in a busi- ness-like band and I gave it to the police. It may have been boy’s work, but Idon’t make light of it. They can kill me if they like, but they can’t scare me out of town. Let them do their worst. I rest in the hands of the Lord.” To prove that he means what he says F. F. Young issued notices to-day thatthe ) ool of Christ as conducted by F. F. Young will now be held at Thomas’ Hall, beginning first Lord’s day.”’ Young calls himself the “steward” of the new order, and in explaining his doc- trines this afternoon he said: “I teach the simple gospel of Jesus Christ as found in the New Testament. We do not believe in denominationalism. It is parely faith work and we welcome every one who pro- fesses Christianity. For subsistence we depend entirely on free will offerings and the Lord abundantly provides. Within the past three years our work has cost $5000. “When I started in this faith I wasa Presbyterian minister, and had served my church for seventeen years.

This Mrs. Lasher scandalous. “‘Mrs. Fleming does not believe in reli- glon and does not like the idea that her daughter is a Christian, that isall. Mrs. Lasher was wonderiuily savea and she realizes it. Our work has taken her out of the low-grade society which she was raised in and made a new women of her. Why, when they say Mrs, Lasher is out of her mind they do not know what they are talking about. She is as clear-headed as any woman in Oakland. Those stories are more of her mother’s fabrications. ‘‘Our life is not a worldly We must renoance this world and live only as the Lord commands.

Oh, no, I don’t think the whitecaps’ letters bad much to do with it, but then Idon’t want any trouble.” —_— HAM OBJECTED TO PAY Alleged That His Daughter Was Maltreated at a Sanitarium. thought, with me, was Seven Times the Amount of a Note Thrown Away Tryng to Re- cover Its Value. OARLAND OFFICE 8AN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, May 23. | A very int!resting and peculiar suit was decided by a jury last night in the Superior Court. Several monthbs ago the daughter of a Mr. Ham was taken to the Goldson Sani- tarium in this city. After being there some time the girl was sent home, sup- posed to be cured. Not long after she died. An autopsy was held and the result showed that Miss Ham had died of peri- tonitis, due to a very delicate operation performed, it was alleged, very unskill- tully by Mrs. Dr. Goldson. The yoang lady nad been treated for malarial fever, and ber father declared after the autops that his daughter’s death was due to mal- practice. Previous to her death Mr. Ham had paid & large amount for his daughter’s ex- penses at the hospital, and there w: balance of $100, for which Ham gave his note. When it became due be refused to pay it on the ground that Mrs, Dr, Gold- son had never rendered the services charged for, and that but for her treat. ment the girl might still be alive. Buit was then brought for the note, and seven expert doctors were put on the stand for three days, the united expenses of these witnesses alone being more than three times the amount of the note. The case .occupied several days and was given to the Jury last night. G. W. Monteith appeared for Ham, and efter hort argument a verdict was returned against Goldson. The case was first tried in a lower court about a year afio and the jury found for Mr. Ham. There was an appeal, and again_the evidence of the dociors was ac- cepted as proof that the money was never earned. Altogether not less than $750 has been spent over the $100 note. At the Macdonough.

Jobn Hall of the First Presbyterian Church of the metropolis. “When Mr. Warszawack preached in my church last Wednesday, considerable dis- turbance was created by some of the Jews in the audience.

Marched to the Operating-Table a Very Willing Sac- rifice. BOTH ARE NOW RECOVERING. Priscilla Overley Was Seriously Hurt a Month Ago in a Steam Laundry. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, May 23, } Little Richard Overley is a hero. He came home to-day from Fabiola Hospital FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1896. i5 better for me to go to the hospital than father, as he has been out of work so long, ana has only just got another job. I'll be around in a day or two, but 1’m sorry that I had to miss two weeks’ school.” Dickey is a pupil of the Lincoln School and there is little doubt he will soon catch up on the other pupils, as he has too much grit to allow two weeks to make much dif- ference to him. Mrs. Overley, Richard’s mother, says the lad is very pleased at the thought thata little sacrifice on his part should haye proved such a blessing to his sister. Both children are making good progress, although it will be several weeks before Priscilla is able to leave the hospital. EBELL CLUBROOMS. A Women's Society Which May Have a Beaatiful Bullding for Social Purposes. OAKLAND, Car., May 23.—The Ebell Society of this city may have quarters in a building erected exclusively for club pur- poses. W. I Reed, the lumber merchant, has presented such a proposal totbegv ciety and they now have it under consid- eration. The idea is to have a $15,000 wooden building of two stories, covering a ground area of 50x100 feet. The outside witl be of classic design, while inside it will be finely finished. i The location is at the corner of Thir- teenth and Harrison streets, the frontage to be on the former. The proposal is that the Ebell shall take a five years’ lease of the lower floor and dictate the internal construction and arrangement. The upper floor is to be a hall for purposesin con- sonance with the clubidea. Thatis, for private entertainments. It would be for people who wish to entertain friends who could find in such a hall a place where they could do it with as much = Dickey Overley, the Lincoln Scheol oy Who Gave a Piece of His leg to Save His Sister’s Arm. after baving willingly sacrificed a large | elegance as in their own homes and with piece of his left leg to save his sister’sarm. ‘When Dickey knew that bis sister’s limb could not be saved and would never heal unless some living flesh and skin were grafted onto the hand and wrist from which the flesh had been burnt he did not hesitate a moment. As soon as the doc- tors announced that such a sacritice was necessary the father unhesitatingly told them to take it from him, but when the time came circumstances made it advisa- ble that the breadwinner be not taken from his work. Little Richard at ounce offered himself and was accepted. In a few weeks his sister will have a well, though somewhat scarred hand and the young hero will carry a large scar on his leg through life. Five weeks ago there was an accident at Costa laundry. Priscilla gaged in feeding clothes to a large and powerful ironing machine. In some man- ner not yet fully explained her left hand was caught between the steam roller and horrib!y mutilated. Part of the flesh was torn off and part was burnt. Prisciila was at once taken to Fabiola Hospital and, al- though everything possible was done for her hand, it became evident tnat it would never heal unless some living flesh were grafted onto it, Harry Overley, the father, did not hesi- tate to at once offer the desired flesh, and it was at first intended that he should supply it. Overley has been a particularly unfortunate man during the past two years. He was in the employ of the rail- road at the time of the great strike. With hundreds of others he went out, and, so far as the railroad is concerned, he has been out ever since. He has made several honest attempts to start himself in busi- ness, but has pot met with success, At present he is struggling with an unre- munerative Iittle shop which is attended to by his wife. At the time of the accident he was out of work. Since then, bowever, he has ob- tained employment and as his family are in need of support he does not feel like laying off. When the time came, last Monday, when the flesh was needed, the doctors said that they would prefer to take it off the little boy and that it would be better not to incapacitate the father from earning that which is so necessary. The boy did not hesitate a moment. He considered it an honor to give up anything to save his sister’s band and his offer was accepted. Last Monday the little fellow walked ont to the hospital. He was more than will- ing to stand the pain,and even when he fully understood what a large quantity was required be did not flinch a particle. He marched up to the operating-table and with a good -natured smile told the doctors to go ahead. It took a long time to get through with the operation, and although Dickey only took a very light dose of ether, he bore it bravely. A few hours later it had been transferred to his sister's hand, and the two young sufferers were discussing the subject as though it were done every day in the year. Dickey was at home to-day, and proudly said that he had been able to walk two blocks. He suffers from his leg, and his gait is a very lame one, but he is one of the rosiest-cheeked, healthiest boys in Oakland. He smiles naturally every time he speaks. - “I would do anytbing for my sister,”” he said this afternoon. “Idid not mind ita bit. Of course it hurt some, but it will soon be well. My sister's hand will soon be well, too. After the doctor examined me and said that my flesh was just the kind that would suit I wanted to give it. | Nobody inauced me to do it, but it was | following letter from | success of your pastorate, [ will be several short addresses and more convenience. The entrance for this would be on Harrison street. Should the Ebell decide to take a lease of the building they will endeavor to bring in as its tenants a number of other clubs. The Friday Morning Club would doubt- less go there, and the Berkeley Club wou!d be offered inducements to also become domiciled there. In short the new struc- ture would become a social center.

SMALL BLOOMER GIRLS. Young Athletes in Sprints, High and Broad Jumps and the Shot-Put. BUSY DAY FOR PAUL UTH. All the Grammar Schoo’s of Oakland in the Contest—Prizes to B2 Awarded. BERKELEY, Car., May? Girls of the seven lower grades of the Oakland gram- mar schools took a prominent part in the grammar-school field day held this after- noon at the U. C. cinder-track. The cortests of the day were witnessed by one of the largest crowds that ever gath- ered at the Berkeley oval, all the grammar schools of Oakland being represented by school children and their parents. On the west side of the cinder-track a fifty-yard course was measured off, and the crowd gathered round to watch the girls’ races. There were seven series, one of each grade from the first to the seventh. The girls of the eighth grade did not race. Presumably they reguraed such pastimes as beneath the dignity of young ladies of almost high-school standing. There was a large number of entries from the other grades. The smail girls of the first grade were the beginners of the infant co-eds’ contest. Some of them wore bloomers, and the crowd cheered when the smallest bloomer giris on record toed the starting line and sprinted for the finish. Fhe boys had 75, 100 and 44u yard races, high jumps, broad jumps and shotputs. The number of entries was record-break- ing, and if no other record was broken it was because none have been established, no regular series of grammar school con- tests having been instituted. There were Japanese youngsters among the coming atbletes who struggled for their respective grades and schools, and colored boys and girls took part in the day’s sports. The affair was under the management of Paul Uth, superiniendent of physical instruction in the Oakland grammar schools, who spent one of the busiest days | : 8, >l o His | sessor betore the assessment was equalized of his life looking after the wonderfully complicated entry lists and scores. After it was all over Uth was unable to announce which promised to give a day to it and arrange for the distribution of prizes next week.

A, Prather, heir of the Adams estate, have brought suit against the city of Oakland to recover $760 76 with interest from Novem- ber 25, 1895, and for & similar sum with in- terest from April ¢ 6, which they claim was unlawfully charged as taxes last year. The complaint sets forth that the city of Oakland adopted the assessment made for State and county taxation, as the assess- ment for municipal taxation for the year 1895, but unlawfully assessed the property as the same was made by the County As- by the County Board of Equalization, namely $456.200, when it should have been $289,000.
