THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1896. - ] 1 FRANK MOFFITT FOR CONGRESS, | Some Quiet Work Being Done in Democratic Ranks. ESTIMATE OF STRENGTH Said to Be Spoiling for an Out and Out Fight i With Daggett. ! A PRONOUNCED SILVER MAN. | i Editor Carrington’s View of the Man‘ Who Would Represent the Third District. | | —_— | OAkLAND OFFICE BAN FrANCISCO CALL,) 1 908 Broadway, June 13. { _ “ome surprise was caused to-day when it became known that there is a probability of Frank J. Motlitt being a candidate for | Congressman from this district before the Third Congressional District Convention. When asked about the matter this after- noon ex-Senator Moffitt declined to dis- | cuss the matter. *I don’t want to resort to the time-honored subterfuge ct saying | tiat I am in the hands of my friends,'” he | eaid. ‘“Whatever is being done 1s being done with my knowledge, but there is ab- solutely nothing that I can talk about.” | Although Moflitt’s closest friends re- fused to discuss the matter the candidacy of the well-known Alameda County Demo- crat is being openly talked about in Demo- | cratic circles. Carroll Carrington, editor of the Satur- | day Press, is very enthusiastic in Moffitt's | support. *“We want a live man in Con- gress from this district,” said Mr. Carring- | ton to-night, “and no one doubts that | Frank Mottitt is a live man. ' Most of his | enemies are Republicans. Among the ! Democracy of this county he is very strong and his strength is not confined to Alameda. He is too determined for a small sphere. If he were to show as much force of character and executive ability at Washington as he has done here we should get something. | “I candidly believe that the greater | number of his enemies are men who are | jealous of the manner in which he came | to the front a few years ago. Heisstill a young man, but he never yet started out for anything that he did not get. He bas met with several political defeats, bur | most of them are to be attributed to hi unswerving lovalty to his friends. Frank Moffitt never deserted a friend without the best of reasons. ‘‘The manner in which he has handled | volitics shows him to be a past master. A | sample of Moffitt's character was shown at the last Democratic_State Convention | in San Francisco. Moffitt was for Barney.| Murphy. He went to the convention o posed, as wsual, by gerald and Dag- =ett, but_he had “set chairman of the Alameda delegation, and | he got there. Not oniy that, but al-| thongh he was urged to swing over tc Budd, and could have got something in! the way of patrouage had he done so, he | od firm and went down with Murphy, | “Moffi:t bas been a man of schemes, and | has been accorded a great deal of prom- nence, but mostly by his enemies. No | one ever doubted his Democracy though, | there is o fear that he will ever be | d out by the party.’”’ i It was recalled to-day that ex-’ienator‘ Moflitt is a pronounced silver man and t was chairman of the Alameda | delegation to the convention held | 1l at Metropolitan Temple. He is known to have many friends among the Populists, and there is more than a possi- bility that should he receive the Demo- tic nomination he would not be objec- onable to a large number of Populists. If Frank Moffitt goes actively into the ht it will be more for the purpuse of making an out-and-out campaign against l‘ng%eu s influence. Although it is recog- | n that & Democrat has no prospect of | ess in this Republican strcnghold, ank Mofitt would probably die harder | han any man in the party. 1 A UNIQUE GAVEL. Made From the Kearsarge for the Army and Navy Republican | League. | ¥ OAKLAND, CaL., June 13.—The Oak- | iand Camp, Army and Navy Republican | 1 ue, have established headguarters at 859 Clay sureet, in the Victoria block, be- tween Seventh and Eighth. They opened | the campaign by a house-warming last | evening. The hall was crowded by en- thusiastic veterans and Speeches were made by Colonel Babcock and Captain Fields, of Alameda Camp, and by Judge Fred Adams and others of the Oakland Camp. Patriotic sonv%g were sung by the old boys, led by W. R. Thomas. Tt was de- cided to hold a grand ratification meeting indorsing the nominee for President of the United States at the 8t Louis conven- tion. Comrade George Knowlton presented the club with a beautiful gavel, the em- blem -of authority, which he made from timber taken from the old Kearsarge, which sunk the rebel cruiser Alabama. The presentation speech was ‘made by Judge Adams and a vote of thanks ex- tended to the donor. Just before the adjournment an invita- tion was extended to the club through W. R. Thomas from Appomattox Relief Corps to attend a banquet and entertain- ment at their headquarters at Syndicate Hall. The invitailon was accepted, and after singing ‘‘Marching Through Georgia” the eclub formed in line and marched in a b dy to Syndicate Hall, where they greatly enjoyed the entertain- ment and banquet, participating in the celebration of the twelfth anniversary of Appomattox Reiief Corps No.5 W. R. C. ereafter the Army and Navy Repub- lican League wiil bold regular meetings at their headquarters, 859 Clay street, on Thursday evenings at 8 o’clock. e MET A WHALE. ng Experiences of an Oakland Schooner’s Crew in Japan. OAKLAND, Cau, June 13.—Reports received from Captain ¥red Nielson of the sealing schooner Rattler, now in Japanese waters, by Captain Roscoe Wheeder of Fraitvale tell of an exciting time and nar- row escape from death a number of his crew had during an encounter with a «killer” whale in those seas a short time ago. gJnhn Mohimann and a couple of other sailors were in 8 boat when it was attacked by the whale. Itsmashed five of the pad- dles und threw all of the occupants out, and but for the presence of a couple of air tanks which kept the boat from sinking, 2ll would have been drowned. For five is heart on being | their friends. | wrecked boat before another boat from their schooner came to their rescue. The Rattler lost a boat’s crew last sea- son in a very mysterious: manner, and it was supposed at the time that they must have been attacked by oue of the danger- ous “killer” whales. A brother of Captain Nielson was lost atthat time. This sea- son the captain had air tanks placed in his boats, and this proved the salvation of his men. The Rattler left her winter quarters in Oakland Creek February 2 and has secured 611, skins, which is con- sidered a good catch. g o SAVED TWO LIVES. C. Léighton Hooper Rescues a Drown- ing Boy and a Man From the Estuary. OAKLAND, CaL., June 13.—C. Leighton Hooper, the son of Captain Hooper of the United States revenue service, saved the life of a drowning boy in the estuary yes- terday afternoon, and a couple of hours Iater rescued a man who had fallen over- ‘board and was about to go to the bottom. Mr. Hooper was out sailing on the es- tuary during the afternocn. It beingz a | very warm day there were a large number of boys in swimming Onelad went in beyond his depth and out of the reach of his companions, and, being unable to swim, was being rapidly carried out to the bay, when Mr. Hooper went to the rescue and brought the irightened boy to the shore. Later the cries for help of a man at- tracted Mr. Hooper to the schooner Ep- pinger at the Webster-street wharf. Here he found a man struggling in the water who had fallen overboard irom the vessel. The man could not swim, and would un- doubtedly have been drowned if Mr. Hooper had not been prompt in rendering assistance. - .- THE JAIL UNSAFE. Prisoners Are Not Allowed Any Exer- cise for They Will Escape. OAKLAND, Car., June 13.—The many prisoners contined at the county jail are not allowed to exercise in the yard in- closed by the high stone wall owing to the ease with which many have scaled the in an exp-rimental way. Chief Jailer Lane was the first to make the ex- periment, after Dougherty, the chicken- thief, escaped that way. Since then, other experiments have been made which prove that it would only take a young man a minute to escape. There are, perhaps, a dozen places which a prisoner who had been allowed to go into the yard to exer- cise could use with ease to end to the roof of the jail, and once there, it would be simply & question of descending to the ground in as e a mann At Blair Par OAKLAND, Carn, Jur Frankie Denmar will ma ascent Sunc afternoon at Blair Park. The comedi Gilbert and Goldfe will also be present, and the Fiith Infantry Band will supply the music AR BREAKS 0UT AGAI Contractors Schmidt and Stutt .Resume Their Fight Cver a Street. Stutt Demoraliz s the Enemy’s Work- men by Heavy and Frequent Blasting. BERKELEY, Car., June 13.—The con- tractors’ war in the Lorin tract at North Berkeley has again become a lively con- st, and W. J. Schmidt’s triumph in bav- ing the road upon which his men are working closed by the Street department has proved to be short-lived. By closing the street Schmidt hoped to completely squelch the opposition con- tractors, Stutt Bros., with whom he has had such a lively experience in a contro- versy as to which firm had a right to use Cedar street. Schmidt is eneaged in grad- ing the street for the town, and Stutt Bros. are grading private property. To-day Stutt brothers began blasting, and they soon demoralized the Bchmidt forces. Btutt’s blasts were not small ones, and the effects were not confined to a very small area, so that every explosion sent a shower of missiles into the enemy’s camp. During the whole day Stutt blasted hard and often, with the result that Schmidt's laborers were obliged to spend much of the time dodging rocks and earth. The two contractors are each determined to stay in toe fight to the end. Consider- able expense has been caused to both sides by reason of delays in labor, and if Stutt continues his energetic blasting next | week it may succeed in adding a good S deal to Mr. Schmidt’s expenses in grading Cedar street, as the latter has a large and costly force at work on the scene. Children on the Beach. BERKELEY, CaL., June 13.—To-day | wasa great cay for Berkeley’s youthful | lovers of sea bathing. The new bath houses on the beach at ‘West Berkeley opened and the company that built them ran free wagons from the end of the car line to the baths. The Claremont Ferries and University Railway Company estabiished a round- trip rate of five cents for children between East and West Berkeley and hundreds of oys and girls from the East end took ad- vantage of the low rate and of the free wagon rides and visited the new bath houses. The new sea-bathing resort is situated north of Rose street, where the beach is sandy and level and the youngsters had a joyful time in the water. Archdeacon Webber Coming. BERKELEY, CAL, June 13.—The Rev. {George E. Swan, rector of St. Mark's Church, is arranging dates for a series of missions to be conducted in California by Archdeacon Webber of the diocese of Milwaukee, who visited Berkeley and other coast towns some months ago. The Rev. Mr. Swan is acting as “'agent’’ for the archdeacon’s tour nn§ has asked that parishes in the dioceses of California and Los Angeles notifiy him if they desire to receive a visit from the noted Milwaukee divine. Archdeacon Webber attracted large audi- ences when in Berkeley and there is a very general desire to hear him again. Florists Will Organize. BERKELEY, Car, June 13,—As a re- sult of the flower shows that have been held in Berkeley in recent years a perma- nent floricultural association will be or- ganized in the near future. The association will have for its objects the encouragement of flower culture in Berkeley and the systematic study of flori- culture. Among those who have already signified their intention of joining the Fropoued association are President Kel- ogg of the university, Dr. Setchell, head of the department of botany, Professor ‘Wickson, Professor Hilgard and many others. Firemen’s Entertainment BERKELEY, CAL, June 17.—A success- ful entertainment was given last night by the Peralta Fire Company of S8outh Berke- ley in the engine-house ‘at Peralta. The main features of the programme, which was followed by a dance and supper, were a stereopticon exhibition by Messrs. Lope & Miller and athletic feats by visitors from the Acme and San Francisco athletic clubs. Teacons to Be Installed. BERKELEY, CaL., June 13.—The dea- cons of the new South Berkeley Presbyte- rian Church will be formally installed at the regujar services to-morrow morning in Ashby Hall. The deacons chosen are: Messrs. Forgie, Dillon, Randall, Boehrer and a balf hours the men clung to their and Wright. REVENGE METED 0T 1N MILES A Lady's Attempt to Get Even With a Flag- man. COUNCIL ASKED TO AID. Wants His Hut Moved Away From the Center of the Street. TALE OF MIDNIGHT ASSAULT. The Old Man Believes That Mrs. Herbst Is Anxious to End His Days. 0akzAND OFFICE 8AN FraNcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, June 13. | P. C.

Mrs. Herbst was formerly the wife of a wealthy contractor, but she was divorced a few years ago. She is still a handsome woman. Intheneighborhood of the cabin more sympathy is expressed for the oid man than for the lady. The City Council will probably act on M:s. Herbst’s petition mext Monday night. * FAREWELL SERVICE, Preparations for the Removal of the First Hebrew Synagogue. OAKLAND, Car., June 13.—Tie First Hebrew congregation of this city will bid farewell to their old place of worship to- merrow evening. During the next week workmen wi!l raise the synagogue and get it into shape to be taken to the new site at Twelfth and Castro streets. There will be farewell exercizes by the children of the Sunday-school, an address by D. Magnes, chairman of the school com- mittee, sermon by Rev. Mr. Friedlander, and President Abrahamson of the associa- tion will give some reminiscences of the old place and facts in regard to the site and building known by few of the present congregation. Contra Costa Road. OAKLAND, (AL, June 13.—The Mer- visors to accept deeds to a rivht of way throngh the lands of J. H. Medau and W, J. Dingee which have peer offered for a road over the hilis into Contra Costa County. That organization rnas been working on the proposition for some time and believe that this opens the way for the construction for an intercounty road which will overcome the heavy grade on this side. Enlarged Quarters. OAKLAND, Ca., June 13.—The Oak- land Free Clinic has moved its quarters from Tenth and Franklin streets to 916 Clay street, where they will have suflicient room to receive and treat all who apply. The wards are large, airy and clean and no eharge is made to the poor for treat- ment, medicine or needed operations. A number of the best physicians and sur- geons of the city have donated their ser- vices. * Knowles’ Funeral of the late Captain J. N. Knowles was held this afternoon at 2 o’clock from the famil residence, 1302 Jackson street. Rev. J. K. McLean, D D., officiated at the number of the deceased’s friends and busi- ness associates. The pallbearers were: Messrs. A. J. Ralston, Robert Watt, B. F. Dunham, Johu Merrill, Charles Goodalil, Mrs. Mary Herbst and the Cabin That She Has Petitioned the Council to Have Removed. If Her Request Be Granted the Flagman Will Have to Walk Many Extra Miles in the Course of a Year, and Mrs. Herbst | Will Be Revenged for Her Impris- | onment for an Alleged Assault With | a Dagger. each year if she gains herjrevenge. There is a long distance between these two lo- calities and facts and the story that unites | them is one of blood, revenge and diplo- macy with a glimpse of prison bars on the side. This afternoon a delegation of Council- men went to the little hut where the flag- man passes his time to see if the shanty is on the public street or on private property. The visit was the result of Mrs, Herbst's neat little plan of revenge. 1t now becomes necessary to go back a few weeks and recount briefiy a few facts of a feud which bas been raging for months and which may yet end in mur- der, as it nearly did a short time ago. “One dark night,” said Halsey as he nursed a sore head at Fabriola, “‘Mrs, Herbst came to my hut and cheerfully toid me she had come to make & friendly call. I asked§ her to sit down and she flew at me like a tigress. [was badly hurt and I am positive that her intention was to murder me. She had a dagger ‘and attemptea to stick it into my eyes. 1 struggled with her and tried to attract help, but she told me she had chosen the late hour for calling on me so that people would never dream it was she whean I should be found dead. There is a good reason for her conduct. Fora long time the railroad’s ties have been disappearing from the back of my cabin and sbe believed that she was suspected, because she has said s0. [ had her arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, but as that charze counld not be made to stick in the absence of corroborative testimony I have charged her with battery and the case is now pending.” Halsey is one of the oldest railroad men in Oakland and has been in the em- ploy of the company since the road was opened. After her]release on bail Mrs. Herbst petitioned the City Council to have Halsey’s hut removed, as she ciaims it is an obstruction. If it is moved to the side of the road Halsy will have to walk several yards each time he flags a trair, and as he flags one every fifteen minutes Mrs, Herbst has figured out that he will travel several hundred miles each year more than he has been doing. “There are two sides to this story,” said Mrs. Herbst. “For several months I have been insulted by the flagmen. They have called me all manner of offensive names and have made life miserable for me. Iam quite satisfied if decent flagmen are there, but if not I shall be heard from."" *Was Halsey’s story about your visiting him and trying to murder him true?” she was asked. “Halsey insulted me,’’ she replied, “and A DOG THAT CAN THINK Showed His Hatred for the Man Who Skinned His Mate.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCIsco CALL,] 908 Broadway, June 13. | The Eastern apostles of woman suffrage will be at Sacramento Monday re-enforced with a good-sized delegation of their co- workers from about the bav. Rev. Anna Shaw said to-night that the party would number about a dozen and would include “Aunt Susan’’ B. Anthony, who will ar- rive from Portland Monday morning, Mrs. A. A. Sargent, president of the State ‘Woman’s Suffrage Association, Mrs. Knox-Goodrich of San Jose, Mrs. Jobn Swift of Oakland, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, who arrived from the East to-day, Mrs. Harriet Cooper of San Francisco, Miss Mary Hay, Mrs. Ida A. Harper, Mrs. O. F. Smith of San Jose and Laura de Force Gordon, In speaking of the suffragist campaign which the Kastern contingent are about closing in thas State, Miss Shaw said: “We have held forty-five conventions in the State, extending from San Jose to Shasta of four sessions each, besides numerous single meetings, and I have preached every Sunday and we are about tired out. “I have never seen a campaign where there was so much enthusiasm shown. There have been only a few towns where the bhalls were large enough to hold the audiences. The newspapers have be:n uniformly kind to us, with two or three exceptions, and these were conducted by women. They Lave said and done some very mean things to injure our cause. There was one place where the most out- rageous things were said in a woman’s paper, but she tried to smooth it over when the citizens condemned it by saying the men in the office had inserted words in ber article to make it read as it did. “The people of the State have generally been very kind and many gentlemen have introduced us to the audience who did not indorse our principles in any manner. I have also found them very hospitable everywhere. “As for the result of our work I have the greatest hope that everything is going to turn out properly, but I have been” told that the California men were the greatest liars on the face of the earth so I hardly know what to _expect. Frcin Sacramento Miss Mills, Miss Yates and myself will go to Erueka for a week, and returning to San Francisco the 25th we will all nnite on a grand platform plank ratification rally at the Metropolitan Temple on the evening of Jupe 26. Thnis will cluse the work until September, when a new campaign will be inaugurated, cov- ering the entire State.” The closing session of the local conven- tion was largely attended and much in- terest was manifested mn the addresses. Rev. Anna Bhaw answered questions pro- pounded and created much amusement by her striking answers to questions put to her for the purpose of testing her ability. Afterward she gave an address setting forth the claims of women for the ballot. In the course of her remarks she said: “Never in the history of this country has there been a class of citizens to woom suffrage was extended that at the time it was extended was as well prepared to re- ceive it as are the women of California. They are the most intelligent of women in the United States. I have been in the finest of many families since coming to the State and have found a very few wives and mothers who had not been teachers at some period in their lives. I have never been in a State where Imet so many who have been teachers at one time. ““The reason of this is the fact that men came to the State and upset everytihing by delving in the ground for gold. But as goon as they made a little money they sent East for their wives and as soon as a man has a family then he wants aschool. With schools came the demand for schuol- teachers and they were imported from the East. Assoon as they arrived the single men married them and this has been kept up until the East is getting drained of teachers and the men of California are mostly married and rearing families. “By the educational clause in your elec- Follows. SAN LEANDRO, CAL, June 13.—An in- cident that oocurred last night displays such unusual instinct on the part of a deg that it is the talk of the town. A few days aco a dog named Polo died. Polo was the town dog and everybody re- spected him except those who had cause to fear him. Polo had an inseparable com- panion in a dog named Sam. When Polo died Sam kept track of his dead body. He watched two men take the carcass away and remove the skin preparatory to pre- serving it. Sam did not like the opera- tion at all, but he waited a day or two be- fore making known his dishke. Sam is the property of Sam Madsen, and is a valuable animal. Lastnight he was at his master’'s saloon and suddenly he became aggravated and snappish. Seeing that something bad aroused the animal’s temper, which is & violent one, Madsen took hold of Sam and was about to lead him away. Just as he did so the animal leaped at a man at the counter, and his master had great difficulty in holdin him. The man at the counter was one o those who had helped to skin Polo, and although a week had passed, Sam had not forgotten it. The dog had been following the two men and acting strangely for some days, but as Polo did not return, he evidently thought that the men who skinned him are responsibie for his ab- sence and determined on revenge. ————————— Pardoned by Grover.

One of the youngest ingenues on the American stage, both in years and in ex- perience, is now with the Nat C. Goodwin Company, playing at the Baldwin The- ater. Miss Usner has lived in such a variety of cities that it would be difficult to term any particular one her home, she being equally well known in 8t. Lous, Chicago, Newport and all through the South, in particular Atlanta, Ga., where she was a pronounced favorite in society. Miss Usner has been on the stagelessthan two years, in_which time she has played several exacting parts to the satisfaction of both press and publie. Having enjoyed for several years a lib- eral amount of social prestige, she is well fitted for roles in the modern drama de- manding culture, ease and refinement. Her ambition was not to shine socially, but to devote herself to a professional career, and in the judgment of critics she has made no mistake.
