THE. SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1896. 138 DR, CROWLEY 1S SIMPLY “CRUEL” His Wife Is Granted an Expurgated Decree of Divorce. QUIET, SPEEDY TRIAL. Everything Was Arranged Be- fore the Judge Called the Case. EVERYBODY LET DOWN EABY.I i The Doctor Gives Houss, Alimony and Children for Other Conces- sions. | | OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL,| : 908 Broadway, June 10, § The Crowley divorce case is ended. Be- | hind closed doors this morning the doctor | and his wife told their tales of marital woe to Judge Frick, and when the doors opened each was free to make a third at- | tempt at proving that marriage is nota | chronic failure. Mrs. Alma A. Crowley was awarded the homestead on Alice street till she shall re- marry, in which event the house goes to| the two minor children, of which she is the custodian. The doctor is also to allow her $125 per month and to pay her taxes, insarance, and to keep her home in repair. | Dr. Crowley profits in so far as his repu- tation is concerned, because the more | serious allegation of the complaint is de- clared to e not proven and unfounded. it is, hqwever, of record that he cruelly hurt his wife's feelings, and on thisground alone was the divorce granted. ‘When the case was called W. W. Foote was allied with R. M. Fitzgerald in the in- | tian Endeavor Society?’ Ray C. Gilson; project of an exposition of the products and manufactures of this county was in- augurated certain members of the Mer- chants’ Exchange board of directors did all within their limited power to defeat the enterprise. They failed, fortunately. The exposition was successiul beyond the anticipation of its board of managers and this city and county received in conse- quence an advertisement throughout the | Last which it would have cost many thousands of dollars to buy. When 1t was thought best to quit with one exhibit there was talk of giving the net proceeds to charity, but there was such opposition that it was abandoned and the original idea to give annual exhibits was con- tinued.” The matter will be finally decided by the Merchantd’ Exchange at a meeting to be beld in two weeks’ time. ENDEAVORERS WORK. Floating Society From the United States Flagship Philadelphia to Attend the Convention. OAKLAND, CaL., June 10.—For the first time in the history of Endeavor work 1n California a Floating Endeavor Society from the United States Navy will attend a county convention in this City on Friday next. The flagship Philadel- phia, now in the bay, has a society and the midsummer convention of the Alameda County Christian Endeav- or Union, which meets at the First Baptist Church Friday afternoon and evening, will entertain” them, and in re- turn be entertained by an account of their life on shipboard. Among the speakers and their subjects are: ‘“How Can Christian Endeavorers Best Helpthe Church?” Rev. James Small; | ““How Can Pastors Best Help the Chris- “The ‘Missicn’ of the San Jose Conven- | tion,” Rev. E. S. Chapman, D.D.; “En- large the Place of Thy Tent; Spare Not; Lengthen Thy Cords and Strengthen Thy Stakes,” Miss Mindora Berry. DONGS F ALAMEDA The J. A. Leonard Company Wants to Find a Lead- Pipe Thief. The Board of Health Approves of a Hospital in the City—Fra- ternal News. ALAMEDA, CarL., June 10.—The Joseph A. Leonard Compuny and its plumbing terests of Dr. Crowley. Judging by their | suavity and their evident desire to arrive ataspeedy and mutually agreeable con- clusion, i t might be supposed that they | were lifelong friends. Certainly there was | notning to indicate that three days ago | the two men rent the Democracy of Ala- meda County in twain in the fiercest anc most personal political flght ever seen in this hotbed of political strife. | The case was set for 10 o’clock, but up to 11:30 the plaintiff had not arrived, nor | were there any witnesses about. This| gave rise to the surmise that an attempt was being made to settle without a trial. After considerable whispered consulfations | between counsel there was a conference | with the Judge, in which both sides at-| tended, in his chambers. It was reported | then that no testimony would be intro- | duced on the charge of adultery, limiting the case io cruelty. When the Judge finally took the bench he asked that all be excluded from the room but attorneys and a stenographer, | and the court so ordered. Counsel for the petitioner then intro- duced evidence to substantiate the charge of crue Mr: { Crowley testified to repeated acts of of her husband, and was substan- iated by Charles Nuratti, a Japanese boy, and Margaret Borland, both servants in the family. The next question which arose was as to the disposition of the homestead on Alice street. Mrs. Crowley’s counsel wanted the home to be deeded to her, but the other side objected. anda finally W. R. Davis, who appeared for Mrs. Crowley, agreed that she should use it tiil she remary, and then it would go to the children. After the evidence regarding cruelty no attempt was made to substantiate any other charge, wherenpon Dr. Crowley offered to disprove the serious charges in- volving Mrs. A. G. Ainsworth, but the matter was not gone into. The decree will beworded so asto set forth | that the allegation regarding Mrs. Ains- | worth 'was unfounded. The disposition | of the case occupied but a few moments of the court's time, and when the doors| opened another Oakland sensation had gone into history. i WALUE OF A EXPOSITION, Merchants’ Exchange in Doubt Regarding the Advisability | of Indorsement. | Last Year’s Profits Placed With a Corporation Instead of With a Charity. 0Ax1AND OFrFICE SAN Francisco CArn,] | 908 Broadway, June 10. During a meeting of the directors of the Merchants’ Exchange last evening, Fred Sinclair, a local produce man, charged the | directors of last years’ exposition with misapprovriating $1700. He claimed the original intention had been to have the proceeds go to a charitable institution, | and on that showing everybody usiited and made ita great success. But when there bad been a profit the management incorporated and took the money as be- longing to the corperation. George L. Fish, another member, said there were some men in the Exposition Association that he had no use for and at the same time there were some very good men in it who were not looking for per- sonal gain. As to the proceeds of the last exposition being pledged to charities, he knew nothing of it. e had been invited to become one of the managers, but had declined. In all fairness, he said, there seemed to be a tendency in Oakland to cry down any enterprise in which they were not personally interested. George W. ArEer said that the exposition was going to be a coucern which would helpthe city and county, instead of promo- ting individuals, and he believed it should be encourazed. He thought, however, that the scope of the exposition was too narrow. He did not believe the display should be limited to the products of Ala- meda County. Such a course was a nar- row, contracted and unbusiness-like propo- sition. ~ John A. Britton, one of the directors of the Merchants’ Exchange, who was absent from the meeting, in commenting on the matter to-day, sai ‘Our company (the Oakiand Gas, Light and Heat Company), indorses the exposition directors in the heartiest manner possible. We were with thein last year, and we will do all in our power this year to make the exposition a success. Personally I have no sympathy with the spirit shbown at last night’s meeting, and if it is to prevail I shall ask President Witcher to select another director to take my vlace.

The company is just finishinga row of eight cottages on Clement avenue, near Willow street, and the plumbing work was nearly completed. Last night the thieves made their way into the houses by win- | dows and the use of skeleton keys and | stripped them of the piping. The police are of the opinion that the | pilferers came from Oakland and rowed‘ across the estuary in a boat. | A Receiving Hospital. ! ALAMEDA, Cavn, June 10.—Some two months ago two experienced nurses pro- posed opening a hospital on San Jose avenue. The project was opposed and | those interested had an ordinance affect- ing the question introduced at the meet- ing of the City Trustees, who referred it to the Board of Health. The-e gentlemen approve entirely of the hospital and have returned the ordinance to the City Fathers, as it did not meet their approval. The leading physicians say that a neces- as a receiving hospital and one where serions cases can be adequately treated. Horses Sink on the Track. ALAMEDA, Car., June 10.—Contractor Jansen, who is engaged in pregaring the new speed track for the Alameda Driving Association, had an experience to-day with his team that he is not likely soon to forget. ’Ighe land in question is barely above sea level and high tides occasionally cover half the area to be run on. His team of six horses were scooping away the stuff this morning when one of them almost disappeared into the mud be- low. It took the rest of the team and quick work and strong ropes to haul the horse out. Horsemen are now wondering how solid the ground is. Fraternal News. ALAMEDA, Car., June 10.— Pawnee Tribe, 1. 0. R.

CHEAP FUEL TO TIDE WATER The Great Drawback to California’s: Progress Removed at Last. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, June 10. Second only in importance, so far as Alameda County 1s concerned, to the are said to contain enough coal to supply the State for fifty years at the present rate of consnmption, there are also beds of clay and reefs of limestone of proved excellence and purity. These are largely used in the mapufacture of cement, and it is claimed by experts that the materials found in Corral Hollow will produce a cement that isequal to the best imported and can be manufactured for 80 cents a barrel. Promi- nent cement men are NOW negotiating with the company for the sole rights to manufacture cement and lime, and the erection of large works for thet purpose will proceed shortly. There is also situ- ated upon the company’s land a bed of clay suitable for the manufacture of fire- brick and other refractory articles. A sand for glass-making purposes is also found there. Speaking of the future of Corral Hollow R. W. Ellis, proprietor of the Livermore Hearld, says: *‘With these tremendous natural resources we would soon become the richest State in the Union if we did our own manufacturing and thus stopped the tremendous drain of gold necessary to pay for the manufactured articles we import. Thedevelopment of Corral Hol- low will alter this state of affairs because the coal can be mined at a price that will enable the manufacturer to compete and exist here. The great cry has been cheap fuel. Old fogies and pessimists have always declared that Californa would never be among the manufacturing States on account of lack of cheap fuel. This restriction is now removed and manufact- ures will spring into existence, thousands of skilled operatives will find employment here and every artery of trade will share the benefits of cheap fuel and increased population. «A careful review of all the facts proves Superintendent Littlefield of the Corral Hollow Mines. - completion of the Central Pacific Rail- road in 1869 is the completion of the road from Stockton to Corral Hollow, which will be celebrated to-morrow in the ean- yon near to the hollow. The last rail will be laid to-morrow with two golden spikes. There will beno granda aemonstration, but a simple formality in ihe presence of a few members of the com- pany and a number of prominent people from Stockton, Oakland, S8an Francisco and Livermore. - It is expected that the guests of the company will be taken to the mines behind one of the monster com- pound engines that have been constructed specially for the new road. The laying of the last rail will be celebrated with a grand banquet. “At the mines the machinery recently shipped is to be put into position and made ready for operation, and here the great coal-bunkers are to be hurried to completion for the reception of the out- put of the mines. The steel bridge across the San Joaquin was completed a week ago to-day. It is an immense structure, the draw being 220 feet in lengih and weighing nearly 250 tons. The temporary trestle that has been in use ever since the road was started will be taken out at once so that river navigation can be resumed. Although the directors are non-com- mittal on the matter it is believed that the work on the big tunnel through the hills w.ll be commenced before the year is out, and that but a short time will elapse be- fore the road is extended to tidewater at Oakland us well as Stockton. In addition to the large coal mines, that L —— DR. BROWNSON OAKLAND, Cavn, June 10.—A dispat: to confer with him. The result was the Hobart of the First Baptist Church.

Brownson, president of McMinnville College, Oregon, stating that he would accept the presidency of the Baptist California College at Highland Park, East Oakland. Dr. Brownson at first declined, and last week Rev. C. M. Hill of Oakland went to Oregon telegram received to-night by Rev. C. H ew president is 45 years of age, and studied at Colgate University, New York, and graduated from the Chicago University, In 1887 he went to Oregon, and his success there has caused him to be considerea one of the strongest Baptist educators of the West. Dr, Brownson is married, and his wife, who is a woman of fine educational attainments, will take a position on the faculty of conclusively that no single enterprise ever inaugurated will have such a deep and changing effect in the prosperity of the State as the delivery of cheap coal at tide- water.” Will Be There Too. LIVERMORE, CaL., June 10.—A dele- gation of prominent citizens of this place will drive over the hills and be witnesses of the final goiden-spike actof the Corral Hollow Railroad to-morrow.

Pitcher, George Beck, N. D. Dutcher, F. R. Fassett, Dr. J. W. Robertson, W. R. Eilis and A. W. Feidier. WILL NOT ASSIST. Political Equality Club Refuses to Ald the Eastern Woman Suffragists.

ROMANTIC EARLY LIFE For Many Years Was Com- mander of Famous Boston Clippers. ONCE LOST IN. THE SOUTH SEAS H: Was the Trustee of the Merritt Trust, and Complications May Arise. OAELAND OrrIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, June 10. Captain Joshua M. Knowles expired suddenly at his home on Jackson street this afternoon. Death was totally unex- pected, although Captain Knowles was | suffering from a severe cold. A stroke of | apoplexy, which came on about 1 o’clock, renderea the captain unconscious, and one hour later he died. On Saturday last Captain Knowles started fora trip to Alaska. Hardly had the voyare commenced when the captain was seized with a severe cold, which so alarmed him that he ordered the steamer Jannie, in which he was a large owner, to return to port. The Jannie arrived last night, and Captain Knowles came directly to his home. Captain Knowles has lived in Oakland for many years, where he has been known as a capitalist. He wus a stockholder and director in the Contra Costa Water Com- pany, but his business has all been tran- sacted' in San Francisco, and personally he was very little known this side of the bay in a commercial way. The deceased was formerly a sea cap- tain and was well known in shipping cir- cles. The last ship he commanded was the well-known Glory of the Seas, which | is still afloat, and "was the hundredth vessel built by the Boston firm of Donald McKay. While on a voyage the deceased was wrecked many years ago on an island in the South Seas. Owing to a defective chart his ship was lost. Leaving a portion of his crew on the island he took the long- boat and went to Pitcairn Island, where he buried $7000 worth of treasure. As there was then very little communication with the island Captain Knowles again set sail and made Samoa. When he reached San | Francisco he had been given up as dead and a_ partial administration of his estate had taken place. The captain first came to this coast asa consignee of several Boston ships and he afterward became their agent. Still later he was interested in a whaling company. He settied in Oakland twenty years ago | and has lived in the old family bome of | the Merritts, which he purchased from the estate. Mr. Knowles’ wife and six children sur- vive him. Th? are: Mrs, Harry Gordon, Mrs. H. H. Adams, and Hattie, Mattie, | Ruth, Alice and Thomas Knowles. Mrs. | Knowies and several of the children were | at the bedside of the captain when he | died. | Captain Knowles was one of the trustees of the Merritt estate, and Attorney Fred Stratton said this afternoon that the suc- | cessorship would depend upon the terms | of the trust deed. If the deed specitied that in the event of death of a trustee some other person shall succeed to the office then such a person must take the vacant position. In the absence of such a provision the Superior Court has the power to appoint thg successor. The trust provided that $580,000 in property was to be held for the nephews, and from this they were to receive their income. The great defect of the trust was that no power was given to the trustees to sell in the event of the property not proving re- munerative. Captain Knowles was born in Massa- chusetts and was 66 years of age. DROWNED IN iHE CREEK Mrs. George McKenney Rescues Two Children, but Loses the Third. HAYWARDS, Car., June 10.—Mrs. George McKenney saved the lives of an eight-year-old boy and a ten-year-old girl to-day and had a narrow escape herself. Another girl 12 years of age was drowned. The family of Peter Asmussen, a fruit- grower, residing on B street in this place, consisting of mother, two daughters and a son, went out to Knox Creek to gather blackberries to-day. The oldest giri lost her balance and fell down the embank- ment and into the creek. Seeing herin the water the other children rushed to her rescue, but found themselves helpless ana were drowning when Mrs. McKenney saw them. She went to work with s will and after being nearly drawn into the creek herself managed to get the two younger children out safely, but the older child had sunk to the bottom. She secured other assistance and tne body was soon recovered and bru;ught to town, where an inquest will be held. ——————————— The Girls Found. OAKLAND, Can., June 10.—Florence Gleisner, the 16-year-old girl who left home two weeks -go, was found in San Francisco to-day and brought to this city and is held on & chnrie of vagrancy. She has the reputation of being very wild. Grace Estella Baker, the 15-year-old girl reported missing from 702 Mission street, San Francisco, is at the Gbabot Home here, having joined her fatherin this city and was placed there by him. He will re- sist the mother's efforts to secure the child. Leach Chosen Assignee. OAKLAND, CaL., June 10.—Abe P. Leach, a young attorney, was chosen assignee of Charles B. Shear, the insolvent hardware merchant, this morning at a meeting of the creditors. There was no division on the matter, although the March-Dayis Bicycle Company and the Dangler Stove Company were barred from psrticirlting owing to their authorization being improper. Leach’s bond was fixed at $20,000. 'he liabilities of Shear are $26,000, and the assets less than $15,000. The Afro-Americans.

BERKELEY, CAL, June 10.—One of the features of the graduation exercises of the Berkeley High School next Thursday evening will be a debate between the girls’ and boys’ debating societies of the school. The girls have organized an Ecclesia of debaters. The boys call their society of forensics the Forum. In lieu of the usual reading of theses the graduates decided to bave a debate and the girls’ society will try conclusions with the boys over the question of the admission of Cuba into the United States. The young ladies will con- tend that if Cuba achieves her inde- endence and is willing to come into the nion she should be admitted, while the boys will show why Spain’s irrepressible American dependency would be an unde- sirable addition to the domain of Uncle Sam. The debate will open with a ‘‘challenge’ by Miss Ella M. Bunnell, president of the Ecclesia, which will be answered by the president of the Forum, J. L. Kennedy. The Cebaters for the Ecclesia will be Miss Margaret E. Doherty, Miss Elma M. Manstield and Miss Mary T. Gallagher. Carlton H. Parker, Erle C. Parks and George 0. Brehm will talk for the Forum. Each debater will be allowed ten minutes, five minutes being given to the affirmative for a closing speech. P. R. Boone, president of the Board of Education of Berkeley, will preside. The judges chosen to decide the contest be- iween the boys and girls are Colonel Charles R. Greenleaf, Rev. George B. Hatch and Attorney W. H. Waste. Brutality§to Chinesc. BERKELEY, CaL., June 10.—The Rev. George E. Swan, rector of St. Mark’s Church, has called pubiic attention to an outrage perpetrated upon three Chinese last Saturday night. Itappears that sev- eral roughs attacked the celestials and they had a hard struggle for liberty, only escaping amid a shower of stones. There was no apparent cause for the disgraceful assault except malicious mischief. “The outrage should receive the prompt attention of our town authorities or, these failins in their duty, of some of our citi- zens,” said the Rev. Mr. Swan. “The feelings of common humanity should prompt us to resent this injury to unoffendineg men, but if this motive 1s ob- scured then the preservation of the peace and safety of our community and its good name should move us to prompt action. “If this outrage is to be allowed to escape punishment others, and perhaps ot a different character, may soon foilow, for nothing grows more quickly than wrong and evil. The fact that such a public out- rage can occur unpunished at the seat of California’s culture and learming will not commend us to the rest of California or to the country at large.” Marshal Lloyd and his deputies are working upon the cace, but there is no clew to the perpetrators of the outrage and little chance of a capture. Annual Report of Professor Hilgard. BERKELEY, CAr., June 10.—The an- nual report for 1896 of the agricultural de- partment of the university has been pub- lished by the State Printer and is ready for distribution. Itisa large book of nearly 500 pages, liberally illustrated and containing elab- orate reports of the work done by the different branches of the department, to- gether with many tables. Much of the volume is devoted to ac- countsof investigation of diseases of fruits, elgi,nnd of the examination of different soils. In a letter of transmittal to President Kellogg Professor Hilgard calls attention to the increased attendance of graduate students in the lecture and laboratory courses of his department, and expresses the opinion tbat the overcrowding of the professions of law, medicine and literature will result in greater inclination on the part of young men to engage in agricul- ture. ‘‘Agriculture requires quite as much brain work and intelligence as do the other professions,”” savs the Professor. “Contrary to the policy defined and pur- sued by many United States and European stations, 1 hold that it is the first duty of our stations to minister to the pressing needs of farmers on questions on which their own experience and often existing literature furnish them littie or no infor- mation. 2 “Scientific investigation of such ques- tions will almost invarably lead to the de- velopment of new facts and'princigle-. which is one of the main objects for which the stations were established,”’ Enterprising Stadent Editors. BERKELEY, Car.. June 10.—The edi- tors of Olla Podrida, & paper published b; students of the Berkeley High School, have gotten up a 44-page =dition in honor of the gradmuon of the class of '66.

A portrait of Principal Waterman is the frontispiece, The other pictures are of the teachers of the High School, grou}) pictures of the seventy-two graduates of '96, of the forty- four members of the debating society and of the baseball and track teams.
