OARLAND OFrICE SAN FRANcIsco CALL, 908 Broadway, June 24. } The difficnlty regarding the appoint- | ment of successors on the Board of Health to those members whose terms have ex- vired is yet unsettied. Mayor Davie stated to-day that Drs. R. H. Chamberlain and A. E. Small have accepted the positions made vacant by the retirement of Drs. Akerly and Fisher. The terms of the retiring members ex- pired on the first Monday in this month, but although several prominent physi- cians bave been offered the vacancies, none have accepted till to-day. The chief difficulty in the way of their acceptance was the commonly repeated story that no one could be appointed who would not do the Mayor's bidding in the matier of dispensing the patronage. In the gift of the board are the offices of Health Officer, secretary, Sanitary In- spector and Assistant Sanitary Inspector. Nearly two vears ago the Mayor named two members of the board and it was gen- erally understood there would be many change: Secretary Schafer was removed for a short period, about two weeks, but the Mayor's lady appointee, Dr. Sareh Shuey, who is now president of the board, reconsidered her action and subsequently | Forsberg; sentry, I.

OAKLAND, Car., June 24.—“The postal business of this city for the fiscal year end- ing July 30 will reach a total of over $99,- 500,” said Postmaster White to-day. his, with an aggregate of over $275,000 for money orders issued, foreign and do- mestic, and about $350,000 paid in the ag- gregate is not a bad showing for a city | whose population is mostly in business in an adjoining cily. The expenses of the office are about $50,000 a year, so, you see, we turn a neat balance over to the Gov- ernment.” ol The postal system of Oakland is divided between the main office, two stations, two substations and a number of postal agen- cies. At present there are thirty carriers, five substitute carriers, eighteen clerks (including those in charge of stations and substations) and four special delivery messengers. The clerks are divided as follows: Stations, two; substations, two; mailing department, three; money order, two; register, two; distribution, two; d: rectory, two; _general delivery, one; stamp, one; relief, one. With the great amount of mail and the frequent arrivals and departures of mails from 5:30 A. M. until 12 midnight, this force is not con- sidered sufficient for the rapid handling of the mails. There is nearly twelve tons of second-class matter alone sent out of the office every month in the year. SWTISFACTION N DEATH. A Shooting in the Home of Colored People on Jefferson Street. A Long-Standing Quarrel Between Two Women Ends in a Tragedy. OAKLAND OFFIcE SAN FrANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, June 24. Amanda Calloway went to revenge an insult at the house of an acquaintance, and her satisfaction will probably be death, for she was shot. The shooting was done at the house 657 voted to reinstate Schafer. Mayor Davie’s appointments were an | muovation, inasmach as it was the first time that representation was given to the homeopathic school. It created a lot of excitement and there was always more or | less friction between the two schools. The | past year has been one during which there | has been liitle active work for the Board of Health, and peace has prevailed. When the terms of two members ex-| pired, two weeks ago, the Mayor was in a position to give either school control of the board by his new appointees. Several doctors stated that they had been offered | the vacancies, but the professional jeal- | ousies of the two schools forced them to decline. Every possible inducement not | to accept was put forth by the repeated statements that the members would be but | the mouthpieces of the Mayor. | The two new appointees have taken the | board cut of the power of the regular school, as both Drs. Chamberlain and | Small ‘are homeopati:s. This makes the xion of the board three to two. | Dr. Sarah L. Shuey and Dr. Beckwith are “ | | of the old school, while Dr. Larkey isa homeopath. At the next meeting there is likely to be a surprise. It is rumored that the | three homeopaths will demand the presi- | dency, and that the newly elected lady pres- | ident will have a short reign in the chair. The old school dares the homeopaths to | do such an ungallant action as to unseat a | lady, and the situation is one of interest. Should any arrangement have been made prior to their appointment, all the patronage may be redistributed. The | Mayor denies that he has been around | offering the places to doctors and requir- | ing obedience as the price of the honor. | He says the various reports have been cir- | culated by his political enemies for ‘hei purpose of annoying him.

Mary Wagner is credited with making remarks about the reputation of Mrs. Calloway, who is the mother of seve:al | children. This evening about 7 o’clock Mrs. Cal- loway went to the house where Mary Wagner lives as housekeeper to Pleasant Hill. She made known the object of her visit and the women were soon quarreling violently. Mary Wagn er finally ran and obtained a gun and quickly fired three shots, which entered the arm, breast and hip of her visitor. Est her Mings and Hill were wit- nesses to the shooting, but it was done too quickly for them to intertere. The victim was taken to the Receivin, Hospital, and the doctors at once state that it was 1mpossible for her to live. Wouile on the opersting table Mrs. Cal loway made a_dying statement to Detec- tive Snorey. She said: “I believe I will die. Mary Wagner shot me three times because sie said my husband was not the father of my children. It was ail done without provoeation.” Pleasant Hill says that the two women were quarreling snd that Mrs. Calloway told Mary Wagner she knew she had a gun and that she would make herswallow it. After a struggle for the gun the shots were fire¢ and Mrs. Calloway fell. Mary Wagner was taken to the City Hall to be held pending developments. ————— DE PARTMENT ESTIMATES.

Pardee Saw Shacks and Vacant Lots; Davie Sees Great Buildings. PROGRESS OF TWO DECADES. Comparatively _Recent Facts That Read Like a Chapter of Ancient History. OAKLAND OrricE BAN FraNcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, June 24. } Twenty years ago to-day a book was published in this city that was a practical several years. He was frequently a mem- ber of the City Council, and was one of the founders and the first presidect of the First National Gold Bank of Oakland. The cauvse of the rash act was temporary insanity, caused by financial embarrass- ment. i The great event of interest in the month of June was the wonderful trip of the lightning train, chartered by the New York theatrical managers, Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer, to convey their company, with Lawrence Barrett as star, from New York to San Francisco in the shortest possible time. The train started from Jersey City, opposite New York, at 1 o’clock on Taurs- day morning, the 1st of June, and crossed Broadway, Oskland, twenty-two minutes ast 9 o’clock on Sunday morning, the 4th ay of June. The actual time occupied in making this unprecented trip between Jer- sey City and Oakland wharf was 83 hours 39 minutes and 16 seconds. People were out, lining the front streets of the city, from early morning, looking out for the fast train, which dashed through Oakland at the rate of fifty miles an hour. Cheer after cheer greeted it at every swation in Alameda County. This unprecedented journey was looked upon as the greatest Trailroad feat ever performed. It was just twenty yearsago that the Eighth-street bridge was built, which is the cause of somuch contention and which is at present barricaded. The most marked difference is every- where visible in the buildings that have been erected in the business portion of the city and the busy suburbs that have grown up ali around. ~ All the large busi- ness blocks west of Broadway have been built since then, and the districts in North and East Oakland. The city has almost trebled in size during the past twenty years in area and doubled infopulation. In 1876 Joe Hilton assessed the whole city at $22,000,000. This year Assessor Snow’s assessment is §46,000,000. The pop- ulation in the Centennial year was 35,910. Now it is estimated at between 75,000 and 80,000. In the former year one of the big events The Center of Traffic as Mayor Davie Saw It Yesterday. answer to that element who, having noth- ing to lose, are forever saying that Oak- land is making but little progress. Although issued in the Centennial year, the book readslike an ancient history, and, were the facts not indisputable, thousands. would doubt them. The Centennial year seems but a brief instance 1n the past, but the record of im- provements and values of twenty years presents a remarkable contrast to the con- ditions of to-day. Mayor Davie has a copy of the book and this afternoon he was looking from the steps of the City Hall down Fourteenth street toward the lake and trying to con- vince himself that the picture of the same spot in 1876 was not false. Dr. E. H. Pardee was elected Mayor in that year and it was whiie he was in office that the railroad company laid the foundation for the powerful opposition that may be said to have culminated in the warlike events that marked the career of Dr. G. C. Pardee as Mayor. The father saw the beginning of what it is hoped the son saw the end—the restora- tion of the water front. There was a great battle for a steam railroad out Market street to the foothills. The line would | was the inauguration of a couple of horse- | car lines, Now tiereis not a city in the Union with a more complete system of electric roads than Oakland. They runout to the foothills in several directions; a belt sweeps through Oakland and Alameda; lines run to West Oakland on three differ- ent streets; to East Oakland on three routes, one of which goes clear through to Haywards. In 1876 the tax rate was $1 30; this year | itis$L. “Idon’t think the people have anything to be ashamed of in the last twenty-years,” said the Mayor. *Considering the proxim- ity toand competition from San Francisco the progress has been wonderful. In the Centennial vear, which does not seem very | far back, Oakland was contented to play second fiddle to San Francisco in every- thing. Now that idea is completely dis- missed, and there is more pride among Oaklanders, generally, than 1s found in most cities. There are others—but they cut no figure in this stoxy. COUNSEL SATISFIED. Satisfactory Settlement of the Crowley Divorce Finally eached. OAKLAND, Car., June 24.—The divorce suit of Mrs, Alma Crowley from Dr. D. D. The Same Spot as Seen by Mayor Pardee in the Centennial Year. [A comparison of the two views is typical of the city's progress in twenty years.] have been run in connection with a ferry from the foot of Market street to San Francisco. During the struggle for the franchise the Southern Ptcigu Company had a bill siyly passed through the Legis- lature grohlbltlng the passage of any new railroad through the town excepting by the unanimous consent of the City Coun- cil. A great storm was raised, and Dr. Pardee 8r., who is still enjoying fair health, presided a4t an indignation meet- ing, the result of which was that the bill was vetoed by the Governor. The fran- chise was never granted, and in that re- spect the railroad won the day, but they laid the foundation for interminable trou- dnlo and opposition, which exists to this ay. One of the most lamentable personal events that ever occurred in Oakland was the suicide in the Centennial vear of Ben- jamin F. Ferris by drowning in the Sac- ramento River, about 4 o’clock on the morning of the 20th of May. He had taken Fmg« in the steamer Amador at San rancisco the previous afternoon, and when the boat was near Sacramento, in the vicinity of what is known as the Chickory ranch, he threw himself over- board and was darowned. His remains were found in due course and conveyed to Qakland. Deceased was Mayor of tga city in 1865, and was Justice of the Peace for Crowley has now been satisfactorily set- tled to all parties concerned and the de- cree will now be filed. The attorneys for Mrs. Crowley, Messrs. W. R. Davis and F. L. Button, were awarded $350 fees this morning by Judges Ogden and Frick. Mrs. Crowley gets a divorce on the ground of extreme crueity and the home- stea for life, or until she marries again, the final ownership to bein tne children. She is ulso awarded $125 per month ali- mony, and 1epairs, taxes, insurance and medical expenses. —————— £ Two Houses Burned.

The bome of the bride was beautifully decorated with pink sweet peas—the wed- ding flower. On the bridal table, which was decorated with pink ribbon, sat a huge vase filled with the most fragrant of the wedding flowers. After the ceremony the wedding party rel;;aired to the home of Anson 8. Blake, which adjoins the residence of the bride, where the wedding breakfast was served. Covers were spread for over one hundred. The groom 1s the founder and principal of the Ojai Valley Boys’ School, Ventura County, where the newly-married couple will make their home. Heis a graduate of Yale in the class of ’83 and of the Yale Law College in the class of '86, while the ibn%o graduated from the State University n ’95. The happy pair will leave for the East in a few days to spend a two months’ honeymoon. Salting the Roads. BERKELEY, CaL., June 24.—The State Bureau of Highways has been experiment- ing at Berkeley in sprinkling the roads with salt. The theory of the experimenters was that salt absorbs moisture from the air, and, therefore, keeps the roadways damp, and the experiments were with the view to determining what grade of salt is the cheapest and most lasting. With the assistance of the department of chemistry at_the State University, under Professor W. B. Rising, a numter of experiments were made, and the result of the trials of the several different kinds of salt has been embodied in a report to Governor Budd. School Certificates Granted. BERKELEY, CaL., June 24.—The County Board of Tducation granted teachers’ certificates to the following ap- plicants from Berkeley this morning, as a result of the recent examinations: Grammar grade—Miss Louise McKee, Miss Nellie £.

More Japanese Students. BERKELEY, CArL, June 24.—Reports have reached Berkeley that several Japa- nese will be sent to this country by their Government to enter the State University in the class of 1900. There are at the pres- ent time about fifteen Japanese attending the university, the first one ever graduat- ing from 1t having taken his degree with the class of '95. A second one grazduated last May. The four who are to enter in the fall will receive instruction which will spe- cially fit them for service in the Japanese Government. Republican Rally.

OAKLAND, Car., June 24.—Julius Abra- hamson of this city has sworn toa war- rant charging Meyer Cohen, the ex-news- paper man and baseball enthusiast, with forgery to-day. According to the story told by Abrahamson it was about two weeks ago that Cohen presented bim with a check on a San Jose bank for $3750 signed ‘“Asha Greenberg’’ of San Jose, his prospective father-in-law. It was after banking hours and it was cashed for accommodation. The check was placed in the bank for collection, and several days later word was received that it was a clumsy forgery. Abrahamson sent Cohen word to settle at once or he would bave him arrested. Within a few hours after the receipt of this warning Cohen had left town. It has been learned that Cohen had made several attempts to get larger checks cashed about the City Hall, where he was well known, It Is said here that his Eastern record is rather against him and that he only escaped prosecution there owing to the interested parties desiring to keep from publicity their names. ———————— FOUND A BODY. Remains of Frederick Scheifler Discovered by Tramps. OAKLAND, Carn, June 24 — Coroner Baldwin was notified this morning that three tramps had found the remains of an unknown man in the bushes in the vicin- ity of Flemings Point, beyond West Berk- eley. It was statea that the features were unrecognizable, as the man had appar- ently been dead for some time. ‘When the remains_were brought to tie Morgue they were identified as those of Frederick Scheifler, 8 butcher, formerly an employe of Fred Becker. He was last seen by Iriends Friday, and as he had peen drinking heavily it is believed he committed suicide, as he often declared he would. A partially filled wine bottle was found at his side. — e Coffee Was Poisonous. OAKLAND, OaL, June 24—Several members of the jury who tried the Root goldbrick case have been sick since they were discharged last Saturday night, and they attribute their trouble to a meal they ate in the jury-room. Juror Hewlett, one of those affected, explained the matter to-day thus: '‘You know,” he said, “if coffee is allowed to stand in a copper vessel for any length of time it becomes poisonous, 1f the tin- plating is worn off the copper, and it is just possibte that this caused the trouble. ut whatever the cause, the pain was something frightful, and I for one never wish to pass through such an experience agan.” 5 The AUCTION SALE FOR CREDITORS. $25,000 WORTH OF JAPANESE HIGH-ART GOODS!
