Oaxvnax» OFFIee S8Ax Fravcrsco CALL,) . 908 Broadway, June 27. Miss Mattie Overman and Mrs. Tunnel} are stopping at the Victoria House, wnere 1 remain until Mattie is rested Tacoma. They came to Oakland after being turned out of a lodging-house at Stockton snd carefully avoided going near Mrs. Eaton, | who had previously announced that she | not shelter them. | Tunnell says she is tired of the Brown case, but Miss Overman still finds isfaction in discussing it. “I was never treated so badly in my life as I was at Stockton,” said Mattie to-day, *‘but I have not yet become accustomed to my position in society. I suppose the. world thinks I am’a very naughty girl and | ought to ‘be vpunished, and Dr. Brown | thinks so, too, I guess. I placea a great social gulf between Dr. Brown and myself | when I made that confession to the conn- cil. Irealize it perfectly, and so dves he. He has to remember the barrier and live accordingly. I shall never force myself upon him and never try to see him, but we are likely to meet casually. “We were surrounded by churches and church people in Stockton and we were requested to leave the boarding-house. It was a newspaner man who invited us out to lunch after we were turned out and he said he would be glad to have us come and stop at his house. I don’t go to church now and am not particularly enamored of them. I would not go into a private house nnless I was very decidedly urged to do so and my past was known. Mrs. Faton, dear Christian lady, was altogether too premature when she said she would not allow me in her house. She mustappreci- ate cheap notoriety. “Stockton is a stupid place anyhow. When we were there we made no effort to conceal our 1identity, and. our landlady lied about us, too. And she wasa good churchwoman. “I think after I am rested that I shall be- come a reporter. Men treat me better than | women do, and I think 1'Il get along all right. I will have to do something that will not throw me with women much, be- cause they treat me so horrialy. I don’t know just when I shall start on my new career. 1 am trying to be a better girl now, but society won’t forgive me for my past. Men don’t think of such things; they are more generous and broad-minded than women. But there is one thing that surprised me, and that is the way the Chronicle treated me in an editorial. It said <he people of Stockton did just right in tarning meout. Now is that Christian ? I am not forcing myself on any one, and 1 am not goinz under a false name, and it s to me that people ought to help me ad a good life. Any way, men treat me nicely.” Mrs. Tunnell says they expect to remain aweek. ‘I am here with poor Mattie,’”” she said, “taking care of the dear girl, who is a complete wreck physically. She is i like a child, well one day and sick the next. She is better now, but I have to keep a close watch over her health.” ALAMEDK TRAINS COLLIDE An Electric Car Runs Into the Narrow - Gauge Road Sprinkler. Brakes Refused to Work and the Grip- man Is Cut and Bruised While Saving a Lady. ALAMEDA, CaL., June 27.—Car No, 16, belonging to the Alameda, Oakland and Piedmont Electric Railway, while running northward along McPherson street this afternoon, ran into the narrow-gauge sprinkling train where McPherson street crosses Central Avenue.

Only one passenger was on board, the widow of the late Matthew Schneider. Fortunately she was uninjured. The con- ductor received a cut and bruise under his left eye by the shattered glass while pro- tecting the lady, and was also severely shaken. How the accident occurred is not clear. One person says the car did not stop before reaching the crossing. The conductor says be jumped off as usual before the car had come to a dead stop, and he went to to see if the line were clear. He turned round and found the car coming on. The motorman shouted he could not get the brake to act. It was the motorman’s first day on this branch line, and it is pre- sumed he was not conversant with his car and the crossings, ’ Tidal Canal Nulsance.

Although Some Varieties Are Scarce the Prices in Many Cases Are Very Low. OAKLAND, CaL., June 27.—The Hay- wards Journal to-day publishes the fol- lowing: This has been a peculiar fruit season. Not to our recollection has there been such a short Royal Anne cherry crop, and naturally the price has been gilt edged. Black cherries have also been scarce, and | apricots are now reported at about half a crop, but strange to say at present are not | exceeding $20 per ton. But an advance may be expected any time. Quite a num- ber of our frnitmen made a ten ‘strike on currants this year. It has been several | years since currants brouzht from $5 to §8 per st. This was caused in a great | measure by the mildew destroying a large portion of the crop. Now that the cherries are cleaned up the | next in season will be apricots. The re- cent hot spell of weather has greatly has- tened the ripening of "cots, and in a few orchards we learn some fruit is already ripe, but it will be over a week yet before | picking will commence. The fruit prom- | 1ses to be exceptionaliy fine this year. | | Hunt Bros.” cannery at the depot fin- ished up on Royal Anne cherries Wed nes- day We were surprised to_learn that the pack just finished amounted to over 10,000 cases, and even goes ahead of last year.

Dalton now has | on his hands the local office of the Pacific } Postal Telegraph Cable Company and all | the poles, wires, submarine cables, bat- } teries and other property of the company | It was just noon when he walked into the local office with Assistant District Attorney H. A. Melyin and served notice of the seizure upon the operator in charge, Miss L. Thompson. The seizure is made under authority of | thestatutes of the State, in default of pay- | ment of the company’s personal property | tax for the fiscal year ending July 30. i L. W. Storrer, superintendent of the com- pany, was present, and it was agreed that Miss Thompson should act as receiver and hold all receipts, subject to the order of Assessor Dalton. Monday, July 6, has been set as the day to sell the property, as provided by law. This afternoon W. 8. Wood, counsel for the Postal Company, filed a suit against | Assessor Dalton to have a restraining | order issued to prevent him from seizin and selling their property for an allegeg delinguency in the payment of their per- sonal property tax. The company claims that it presented a correct valuation of its property at $9000, and that he raised it to $22,350, which makes the takes 5. They pray for a decree ordering the Assessor to accept $113 45 in full satisfac. tion for all State and county taxes, and also to be restored to full possession of all their property which he now holds. Efforts were made to secure a temporary restraining order, but all efforts to secure a Judge to sign it were futile, and the mat- ter had to go over until Monday at 10A.

His ph{sleuns advised a change of climate and he came to California. He was then the guest of his brother for nearly a month. Therearemany who remember him and his genial ways. Near the coal office was Polk Gray's, and during McKinley’s Yresence in the city they became quite well acquainted.

Forty-eighth Assembly District in the Legislature of 1897. The declaration of Thomas Pearson, municipal landscape gardener of Oakland, to become an Assembiyman has caused general surprise, and has caused many to consider what chance a colored man has to Ty a district in Alameda County. A few weeks ago a colored Republican uni- formed club was organized, and its mem- bership is rapidly growing. In the Re- publican ranks the Afro-Americans of this city will cut quite a figure during the pres- ent campaign, and it will not be surpris- ing if Mr. Pearson should receive the nomination. Thomas Pearson is an orator of repute. He stumped the State on behalf of Estee, and had that gentleman been successful Mr. Pearson would have been happy for four years, He was born in slavery in Warrentown, N. C.,in1866. 1in 1867 Pearson’s father, who was then at the Mare Island navy vard, brought out his family and located at Vallejo. In this place littie Thomas learned his alphabet and made his debut in politics. Since coming to Oakland Mr. Pearson has been very active in politics and is very popular with his people. He 1s prominently identified with the Colored Old Ladies’ Home and has been mainly interested in raising funds for it. Person- ally, he is very quiet and reticent, but his ability to speak in public has not been overrated. “I know of no reason why it should be considered presumptuous for a man of my race to aspire to the Legislature,” said Pearson this afternoon. ““We have many naturalized foreigners among our office- holders and legis!ators, and surely they have no more right there than I have. In California, and especially in this county, there is less feeling in regard to color than in any other part of the country. I do not believe that che unpleasantness re- garding the hotel accommodations for the colored delegates to the St. Louis conven- tion would ever have occurred on this coast. So long as a man is a gentleman and pays his way he is a man. Idon't think that my constituency would oppose my election simply because of an accident of birth. T am out aud that settles it; defeat and I are well acquainted.” COHEN SURRENDERS. Himself Into the Custody of Sheriff Enight of Eaiem, Oregon. OAKLAND, CarL, June 27.—Chief of Police Charles E.

He Puts Money Mainly oa His Own Horses and Then He Keeps Mum. Attorney Crittenden has developed a habit 1n the cross-examination. of the de- fendant in the Ashley-Baldwin suit of commencing proceedings each morning with an excursion into the personal his- tory of the witness. This habit was not departed from yesterday, and as a sort of | appetizer Baldwin was called upon to state from how many of his wives he had been divorced. He said he bad been di- One of these he lived with twelve or fourieen years. An- other of his wives died after he had lived with her about five or six years. Frem this delving into ancient history Crittenden brought the case up sharply to | the matters decidedly modern. After re- ceiving from the witness an acknowledg- ment that Mr. Unruh, his first wife's first cousin, had been rendering him assistance | in matters referring to the case, Mr. Crit- | tenden asked: ‘‘Has Unruh been endeav- oring since last night to see a witness who is under subpena for the plaintiff 2"’ Baldwin said he had no knowledge to that effect. “Have you sent any one-to see Mr. An- derson since you were asked sbout him on the siand ?’" asked Crittenden. “I have not,’ was the reply. “I wouldn’t give five cents to keep him off the stand. I'd rather have him here.”” The witness was asked if he knewa man named Carl R. A.von Arenholdt. After his Honor, the attorneys and tie stenog- rapher had successfully struggled with the orthography of the name, Baldwin said he had met such a person. *Did you send Carl von Arenholdt to Pasadena on business connected with this case?"” queried the exr\mining attorney. Baldwin said he understood that Aren- holdt was there on some such errand, but he had no knowledge of it except the man’s own stateme “Don’t vou know,” insisted Crittenden, “‘that Arenholdt was employed to go to Los Angeles to endeavor to get Miss Ashley to c?ompmmiue berself by some improper act?" “I don’t know it fendant; *‘I heard so.”’ At this point Judze Slack gave evidence of an unusual interest in the proceea- ings. “Is this man the one who is said to have carried stories to Miss Ashley con- cerning me?” he asked. Crittenden said it was not, but he would reach himina moment. “l am very desirous that you do so,”’ remarked his Honor. Mr. Crittenden then commenced upon the tack indicated. In answer 10 ques- tions, Baldwin had admittel that he had known a man named N, C. Carter, who had been his friend for fifteen or eighteen years. “Did you ever have any conversation with him about this suit?'” he was asked. Baldwin answered that he told him it was a blackmail suit, but this was ordered stricken out. +Did you tell him to state to Miss Ash- ley that you had the Judge and the law- years all fixed in this case?” Hardly bad the question escaped Crit- answered the de- tenden’s lips when Baldwin exclaimed ex- citedly, “1 did not, and he won’t testify s0.” He was warned by the court to answer directly. “Didn’t you send Carter to see Miss Ash- ley 2’ asked Crittenden. “I did not," replied the defendant. ‘‘He said he was going and I told him not to go for me. I never received any report from him and he had no authority to act for » me. Judge Slack expressed a desire to have Carter in court and asked Baldwin where be was.

Miss Ashley’s visit to Hotel Oakwood was also exploited at length. Several references were made to Andrew Ander- son, a former employe of Baldwin, and from the manner in which the aged de- fendant answered it was evident Anderson ‘was persona non grata to the witness. “I;Iid you say to Anderson,” asked Crit- tenden, * ‘I hear Miss Ashley has a baby and there is apt to be trouble, If there is I want you to help me lay iton Falyy. It would be a good joke on Falx.' by Baldwin said he did not make such a statement to any human being, and An- derson was the last man in the world he would tell such a thing, » The witness was shown a cardboard badge with a string attached.

Louis track was introduced 1 evidence. In each race there were marks opposite the names of horses. An effort was made to ascertain if these were horses Baldwin had bet on, but he declared he was unable to remem- ber. *1very seldom bet on any but my own horses,”” he declared, ‘‘and no one but myself would know what horses I did bet on. [ always keep my own counsels about such matters.” He denied that he had given the card as marked to Miss Ashley. The name of Colonel Pope, the bicycle manufacturer, whica has been allowed to rest for several days, was again called mto the case. Crittenden wanted to know when Baldwin _had seen Pope. Baldwin said he and Mr. Lloyd called on the Colonel, accomparied by James R. Wood, 1n April of last year. Crittenden called on Baldwin to explain a number of passages in letters written and received by him. At 5o’clock be an- nouncad that he had finished with the Witness, Judge Slack announced that he must close the case in three days, even if night sessions were required. Reference was made by Attorney High- ton to the alleged statement of Uarter, that the Judge and lawyers Lad been ‘fixed.” Judge Black said he would like very much to have Carter in court in order that he might ask him some questions. Baldwin said he thought he wounid come if reqiiested, and Mr. Lloyd said thathe would bring him to court if possible. Baldwin assured his Honor that he had too much sense to make the remarks al- leged to have come from him. The case will continue Monday morning. Reception to Father Caraher.
