THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1896. 13 LITTLE CHILDREN BLINDED BY BEES, Novel Complaint Made by | an Engineer at Berkeley. APIARY IN AN ATTIC. The Owaer Said to Be Liable| for the Depredations of Marauding Bees. REASONING OF NO AVAIL So Official Notice Is Served to Abate the Nuisance at Once. OARLAND OFFICE BAN FrANcISCO OALL,) 908 Broadway, June 29. | The District Attorney will be asked to issue a complaint for & very unusual alie- gation to-morrow. It is the second case of the same nature that has arisen within a month, Little busy bees are small things tocause litigation, but they have stings, and it s | on acccunt of this attribute that E. J. | Lough of Berkeley may have to answor a complaint of causing cruelty to children. R. McMillan, the engineer of the steamer Piedmont, lives off Stewart street, near Shattuck avenue. He has a wife and tour | children and owns a beautiful home. Un- til three months ago everything was peace- able and happy at the McMillan home. | At that time their neighbor, E. J. Lough, Cecided that he would run an apiary. He | bought several hundred bees and installed | them in the attic of his house. No objec- | tion was raised until the stinging insects, | in their hunt for honey, invaded the pretty | garden of the McMillans. 8o long as the | bees confined themselves to the raspberry | bushes there was no trouble, but when the bees began a crusade against the faces and bands of the little McMillans there was trouble. | On several occasions the children were | stung so severely that their faces swelled | and their eyes were closed entirely, The | children were doctored and some heavy | bills were paid, but Mr. McMillan could think of no remedy. Recently the chil- dren have suffered so much that the doc- tor has stated that there 1s danger of erysipelas attacking the children. Asa last resort the affair was reported to Mrs, | Prescott, secretary of the Children’s Soci- ety, and she was asked to protect the little ones from their sufferings. | Mrs. Prescott inspected the children and | found the three-year-old boy suffering in- tense pain. The secretary thought that a call at the Lough residence would quickly | settle matters, but was disappoinleg. | Mrs. Lough said she could not help mat- | ters and told Mrs. Prescott that this is a iree country and thatshe does not propose | to be dictated to by neighbors. She further | said that she was not responsible for her bees after they left her premises. | Seeing that reasoning would not avail, Mrs. Prescott gave official notice that un- | less the nuisance were abated within forty- | eight hours she would apply for a war- | rant. The section of the act that the | secretary says applies to the case is the | following: Sec. 4. Whosoever shall willfully cause or permit any child to suffer, or who shall inflict thereon unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, and whosoever, having the care or custody of any child, shall wilifully cause or | permit the lite or limb of such child to be en- dangerzd, or the health of such child to be in- jurea, or person who shall wilifully cause or perm ch child to be placed in sucha | situation that its life or limb may be en- da d, or its nealth shail be likely to be injured, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The question is of some importance | and the liability of bee-keepers has never yet been determined. At San Leandro recently complaints were made to the Trustees that bees were devastating berry fields, and they are now considering the best means to abate the nuisance. WANT THE CONVENTION, Conference of National Educa-i tion May Come West ! in 1897. Professor Brown of Berkeley Will Make an Effort to Bring It to San Francisco. BERKELEY, O€ar, June 29. — Pro- fessor Elmer E. B. Erown, head of the department of pedagozy at the State | University, will leave for Buffalo, | N. Y., to-morrow morning to rep- resant the University of California at the National Educational Convention to be‘ held there early in July. | Professor Brown will make a special | effort to induce the convention to come to California in 1897 and in an interview to- | day he expressed much hopes of being able to do o providing the National Con- vention of the Christian Endeavor Society | did not come to California at the same time. *It witl be a great thing for the State,” said Professor Brown to-day, “if we can get the Educational Convention in 1897, but a still preater good will be accom- plished if we can bringz sufficient pressure to bear on the Legislature to carry through the biils now pending to increase the State University land grants. “If the iill is passed by Congress we will get something like 320,000 acres of land for the State University, in addition to the 46,000 which we now have under the land- grant law. We purpose at this convention talking over the best course to pursuein bringing the Legislature to see (he matter as we do. “1 will be away for about three weeks, and stop off for a few days at Chicago and at Detroit.” Professor Brown will read two papers before the convention, one on *Child Study” in the Tompkins School, and one before the Herbart Ciubon *“The Theory of Creative Epochs.” Proiessor Merrill will accompany Profes- sor Brown partway.

OAKLAND, CaL,, June 2J.—The Board of Trade directors have sent out a circular to all members regarding the Oakland Ex- position, in which they say: The citizens of Alameda County are enthusi- astically arrangiog to hold at the Exposition building, daring the month of August, a home industry exhibition of the products and manu- factures of the county of Aiames: effort in tbis direction dur t! December last yesr, inspired by the activity of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association | of California, met with such unqu: d suc- cess that the management feels justified in en- larging the scope of the next exhibition so as the entire block bounded by Eleventh, Twelfth, Webster and Harrison streets. It hagalso been the means of bringing about a strictly home industry fair in 8an Francisco under the joint auspices of the Mechanics’ In- stitute and Manuiacturers’ Association. While last year's display of the manufact- ures and producis of the county surprised and ratified all the people, it is the intention to eave nothing undone {0 magnify it to such an | extent that justice will be done to tne great importance ‘of these industries and their rela- tion to the prosperity of the entire State. late years much greater than the people are generally aware of. As to viticultura:, horti- cultural and agricultural products, we believe there is no county in the State that can equal Alameda in quality and variety. With these inspiring conditions before us, it is intended to bring all our resources to the attention of the people not only of this but adjoining coun- ties as well. It is therefore hoped you will ‘lie‘nd]yom valuable aid by making a creditable splay. \\pe would earnestly urge all members of the Board of Trade to interest themselves in this matter, especially tnose who are engaged in manufactures or the production of any articles of commerce 10 meke an exhibit of the same. This {s incumbent upon all members, in order that we may do our part in the good work of building upand making known the various manufactures and industries of this county, &nd thereby promote a revival of the business prosperity of the community. LOST HIS REASON. Simon Brauler Goes Mad While Con- fined in Jail for a Petty Offense. OAKLAND, Carn, June 29.—Simon Brauler, a young German confined at the City Jail, went mad this morning and will have to be committed to an asylum for treatment. He was arrested early in June for breaking a plate-giass at a sa- loon because he was driven from a free- lunch counter. He said then that he could not secure work or food. He proved himself a model prisoner up to last Saturday, when, while asmsting the janitor, he walked out and down the street. He did not attempt to run away, and was soon brought bnc&, and has been confined in the tanks. This was too much for him and his reason fled this morning Mrs. Bammgarten’s Pleas. OAKLAND, CAv., June 29.—Mrs. Sarah Baumgarten, wife of Solomon Baumgarten, the Jewish junk-dealer, was among the applicants for indigent aid to-day before the Board of Supervisors.

Thousands of Loving Parishioners Wept Around the Bier in His Late Church. | OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL.) 908 Broadway, June 29. | 8t. Joseph’s Church on Chestnut street was crowded this morning with sorrowful spectators, They had gathered to pay their final tribute of respect and affection to the remains and memory of the late Rev. Father Fernandez. As the venerable Father King officiated at the solemn requiem high mass people | were sobbing in &ll parts of the church. | Fathers Pimental and Governo. Arch- bishop Riordan was present and pro- nounced the firal blessing. The casket was a rich one of black cloth relievea with silver plates and it was covered with floral offerings from the many members of the church who had been suddenly bereft of their beloved pastor. Rev. Father Gloria preached the obitu- ary sermon in the Portuguese language. The speaker referred to the sacrifice made by the late priest, when riches were his, and how he had given all to charity and his life to labor for humanity. Father Fernandez was born in Portugal, forty-six vears ago, and at the age of 14 went to Brazil. After remaining there for six years he came to California. At first he worked as a shepherd and then as a miner. He succeeded at the mines, but felt that he was called to the priesthood, and, with- out counting the cost, he msde the sac- ritice. While mining he donated consid- erable money to the Church of the Immaculate Conception at Watkinsville, Siskiyou County, which he built almost alone. ‘When he decided to study for the priest- | hocd he went back to Portugal and entered atonce on the work. He was so diligent that in two years Le was back in California and was ordained in San Francisco. He went to Honolulu and also to China, and some years ago-he was placed in charge of the Portuguese congregation in West Oak- 1and. He at once set to work to build a church and organize a parish. About five years ago the handsome church was buiit | from wfiich he was buried to-day. Tle priest’s dying wish was that he might live till he had seen all the debt on his church paia off. Many priests were present at the church, including the Revs. Logan, Coyle, Cran- well, Burn, Serda, Scanlan, Cull, Butler, Blavin, Hessler, Phillips, Laguna, O'Reilly, De Campos, Byrue, McNally and Alifred. The interment was at St. Mary’s Ceme- tery. The Portuguese Benevolent Society acted as escort to the remains, and there was a great crowd at the cemetery to wit- ness the final ceremony. The services were conducted at the en- trance to the receiving vault, and ‘the two draped flags that were crossed over the en- trance added much to the solemn effect of the scene.

OAKLAND, CaL, June 29.—By the judicious use.of the transfer privileges the City Council hopes to close the fiscal year to-morrow night without the anticipated deficit, *+ Auditor Snow said to-day that by mak- ing certain transfers from the general fund and paying the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company’s bills out of the de- linquent-tax fund the city would get through without a deficit.

His Sister Explains That the Fugitive From Matrimony Is Innocent. NO FORGERY WAS COMMITTED. The Father-in-Law Said to Have Signed the Check amd Then Repented. OAELAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCIECO CALL} 908 Broadway, June 26, Mrs. Wolfe, a sister of Meyer Cohen, the Oakland newspaper map who is now un- der arrest at Tacoma for passing a forged check in this city, was in town to-day and told a very different story of her brother’s trouble from that already published. Cohen’s friends, and they are legion, de- clare that he is evidently safe from prose- cution or he would not have surrendered himself. They assert that Meyer was broke in Tacoma, and that he thought the best way to get back to Oakland was by coming here at the expense of the State. Cohen, it will be remembered, is the young man who was to have been married to Miss Hinda Greenberg at San Jose a week ago, but who failed to show up at the wed- ding. Two days later a complaint for forgery was sworn out against him. “Meyer’s sister was here to-day explain- ing matters,” said Joseph Harris, a trustee of the First Hebrew Congregation. ‘‘She declares that the checks were drawn by Greenberg, who was to have been Meyer's father-in-law, and given to Meyer one night when he was calling on his fiancee. *‘He returned to Oakland and naturally went to some of the Jewish merchants where he was known to have it cashed. For some reason which she knows not Greenberg became uneasy and withdrew his money from the bank on which the check was drawn. “‘When the bank in Oakland sent it to San Jose for collection there was no money and it was returned. There was no charge of forgery then, nor until after he failed to be present at the wedding. She declares that the charge was then made out of pique and to get even witn him. She declares.he is innocent of any crime and cites his readiness to return and face his accusers on the charge of theft preferred against him in support of her position. We are now all awaiting the young man’s return with interest owing to this new turn in the case.” BETURN OF 3., Mel b He Visited Washington, D. C., to Obtain Funds to Complete the Tidal Canal. A Peculiar Case of Paralysis—Death of an O!d Resident—Meeting of City Trustes. ALAMEDA, CAL.,, June 29. — Health Officer Dr. John T. McLean returned from ‘Washington, D. C., late Saturday evening. He was sent to the capital last January by | the county and this city to urge upon the Government the necessity of completing the tidal canal. He is as enthusiastic, energetic and de- termined as ever that the canal shall be completed, and he will leave no stone un- turned to impress the powers that be on this side of the continent that the work has to be done. In speaking of his labors in Washington Dr. hicLean said that an appropriation of between $800,000 and $900,000 had been made for the completion of the pending improvements under the continuous con- tract system, and the California delega- tion had made representations to the Government engineers to use the means at their disposal for this year to dredge the tidal canal and build a floodgate at its upper end. he original plan as laid out for the con- struction of the channel had never been carried out, and as a consequence there had been expended $1,800,000, the amount originally intended to complete the whole work, and still itisin a balf-finished con- dition. This is _because thousands and thousands of dollars have been expended DR. JOHN T. McLEAN, HEALTH OFFICER OF ALAMEDA. Huction Jales CHAS. LEVY & 0., AUCTIONEERS.

Wall, 1718 Arbor street, was brought home {estemny from Bartlett Springs, a help- ess paralytic. He can see and hear, but speech and motion are denied him. Mr. ‘Wall was engaged on the Daily Report as advertising manager and had run down so that he sought achangeat Bartlett Springs to recuperate and rid himself of an attack | of incipient rheumatism. Last Thursday he wrote that he was feeline better and intended returning after July Fourth. On Friday his wife received a telegram o 8o up at once and bring him home. The case is a most interesting one from a physician’s point of view, for the paralysis is said by the doctors to have been induced by the excessive hot bathing and over-exeriion.

Linderman was appointed deputy to her father, who is City Assessor. The clerk was instructed to ask the Southern Pacific Company to prevent the Park-street automatic bell ringing be- tween the hours of 10 . M. and 6 A. M. G. H. Mastick protested against the im- proving of Wood street. A. H. Bannister objected to the rescind- ing of ordinance 166, granting him the privilege of building a wharf at the foot of Grand street, granted Lim 1n 1891, but the ordinance was repealed. Uondemnation proceedings are to be commenced against Emily Cohen for the opening of Lincoln avenue. ASSESSORS’ AUTHORITY. The Constitutionality of the Act At- tacked by the Postal Telegraph Company. The application of the Pacific Postal| Fribav.: Telegraph Cable Company for an injunc- | 9'clock noon of that da. '%on to restrain County Assessor H. P. alton from seiling the personal property seized by reason of the refusal of the com- pany to pay the tax as assessed, instead ot upon the valuation returned the com- pany, came up before Judge Ogden to-day and a temporary injunction was issued upon the company putting up a $1000 bond. The Postal company claims that the as- sessment of their property in Alameda County is excessive and not inaccord with that of the Western Union, and that they should be granted a restraining order until the matter could be heard before the Su- pervisors, sitting as a Board of Equaliza- tion, as in default of this their*property would be sold without recourse upon an arbitrary assessment made by the county official. The attorney for the company attacked the constitationality of the act of 1895 under which the Assessor is proceeding and claimed that it was in conflict with section 13 and others relative to the right of citizens to seek remedy before boards of equalization. He claimed that the sale of the property in advance of a hearing before the Board of Equalization would work an irreparable injury to the plaintiff. As to the first point the District Attor- ney argued that the company had its remedy by paying the tax under protest, and then if the Board of Equalization sustained the protest it could be rebated by the Assessor. He also contended that the power of the Assessor to seize and sell nersounlfiroptny maust be exercised before the first Monday in July, as then he must turn the rolls over 1o the Tax Collector. Judge Ogden siid he considered sui- ficient shewing bad been made for a tem- porary order, so granted it. The matter will be heard on its merits early in July. e WITH A LARIAT.

Dingee, president of the Oakland Water Company, lasted till late to-night. An effort was made to close the case to- night, but W. W. Foote, who appeared as special counsel for W. J. Dingee, wished to puton some witnesses who were not present and continuance was sgreed upon till to-morrow evening. The Police Court was crammed all day, and to-uight when the City Council ad- journed all the members went direct to the court. W.J. Dingee and W. E. Dargie were the chief witnesses for the prosecu- tion, and Editor High took the stand in his own bebalf. Attorneys Beatty and Foote kept the proceedinfis very lively throughout, and to-night the court had to interfere to pre- vent what promised to be a physical fight. Mr. Foote asked Hizh a question relating to his conduct while emgloyed on *‘Cali- fornia on Wheels,” which toured in the East some time ago. “That is an infamous question,” said Attorney Beatty. “If you say that I would ask an in- famous question you are a liar,”’ said Mr. Foote. There was some explaining, and the dis- tance between the twoattorneys somewhat diminished, when Judge Wood peremp- torily called them to order. W. E. Dargie testified that High had come to him and told him that be thought Dingee should give him a typesetting ma- chine and $150 a month for the purpose of keeping him friendly. Counsel for High attempted to go into the financial affairs of Dargie in the spring of 1895 for the purpose of showing that he was indebted to Dingee, but the objection to such questioning was sustained. In de- fense, High said he had not seen the libel- ous item till after it was published. He denied having to leave ‘California on Wheels”’ for immoral conduct, and when his testimony closed the case went over ill to-morrow night. TRUSTEES’ RUSTEES' SALE.
