Captain Morrison of the Republican Ciub Thinks Striker Wants to Be a Boss. BERKELEY, Cav, July 6.—The Mc- Kinley League of Berkeley will meet to- morrow night in Odd Fellows’ Hall. The Republican Club, which, it is simed, was o nized witbout proper ithority, is likely to receive attention at 1e hands of the McKinley League’s mem- ers, as the controversy between the two ubs threatens to become more and more itter. Captain J. T. Morrison, a prominent nember of the Republican Club, is in- ant at the aspersions cast upon that nization by County Committeeman W. Striker. Said the captain: The Berkeley Republican Club would ke to know what is the matter with J. W. Striker, anyway. He seems to be wasting sreat deal of valuable breath in hurling E hemas at the first and only Republi- can club in East Berkeley because they did not ask his permission to organize and canse he was not asked to boss the job. *The respectable element in the Repub- an party in Berkeley needs no boss, and he sooner Mr. Striker gets that notion ut of his head the sooner that portion of s anatomy will cease to swell.

Dalton turned his assessment books | over to the County Clerk to-day according to law. Among ‘the most striking changes from last year’s roll is in the matter of the banks. They made their returns at the request of Mr. Dal- | ton, but he was not satisfied and se- | cured the services of T. E. Atkinson, an | expert bank accountant, who examined 3 ogd the usual time | 1), hooks of each bank. He was sworn ia to allow Commander Booth-Tucker to be t on the three concluding days and | |as a Deputy Assessor, and made the | assessment aiter his examination of the books. As a consequence the National banks will have to pay taxeson $417,650 | more property than last year, whiie the | other banks have a little over $300,000 | added to their taxable property. Should this assessment be attacked in the Board of Equalization Mr. Daiton will have every officer in the banks sworn and examined in relation to the correctness of | the report of Mr. Atkinson.

The Board Meets as a Board Equalization and Spzedily Adjourns. of OAETAND OFFICE 8AN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, July 5 The Board of Supervisors met to-day and awarded the contract for furnishing supplies to the County Infirmary. Two | weeks ago when they attempted to award in a bid that gave the highest bidder the preference there was much opposition and { iderable hard talk engaged in by the | bidders. { The successful men to-day bid several | thousand dollars lower than their bid at that time. Joseph Herrscher of San | Leandro was awarded the contract for | furnishing groceries at $5535 7914. Joseph | Harris will furnish the clothing for $847 07, The samples furnished by the ul biaders were kept by the super- | intendent to compare the goods with when | detivered. Mr. Herrscher's opponents assert that he will lose money betore the year is past f he furnishes goods equal to his samples, which all unite in pronouncing first ciass. The Supervisors promise that nothing stort of the samples shall be accepted by the superintendent. The board adjourned and met as the Board of Equalization. After receiving a otification from the County Clerk that | he had received nity-four volumes of per- sonal property assessments and one of personal propertv they passed the neces sary notices and adjourned to meet Fri- day morning at 11 o’clock. COHEN IS FREE. He Is Released From Prison at His Own Request. OAKLAND, CAL., July 6.—Meyer Cohen asked the Salem officials to allow him to participate in the Fourth of July festivi- ties of that place, and as they had nothing to show for holding him he was released. This will probably end for the time the sensational events of that young man. Chief Lloyd did all he could to get a war- rant s worn to for use in the case or get the alleged victim to put up the necessary funds to enable him to go after Mr. Coben. What his intentions are have not been learned here. Y. e — Disabled a Horse. , July 6.—Billy Moore, the hackman, is offering a borse io-day to any one who will take him. A few nights ago he was driving along Cypress street, and on coming to the corner of Sixteenth his horse broke through aculvert. He has potified the City Council that he | wants the city to pay for the horse. {animal was so badly damaged that Mr. | Moore does not consider him worth his feed now. Sentence Postponed. | OAKLAND, Car., July 6.—Owing to the absence of Judge Wood of the Police Court the matter of sentencing Gavin D. High, lately convicted of libel, was postponed until Wednesday by Judge Lawrence, sit- ting in place of Judge Wood. This was the agreement when the latter left.

She hoped women would be allowed the right to vote, if it were only to reform some of the iniquities of the City Police courts. Here, she said, the girla who have made their first downward step are further contaminated and lowered by con- tact with the clerks of the courts. The laaies who are interested in rescue work say that they find the girls are bailed out by the clerks of the court and its attaches. They go out and live under their protec- tion, all trace of them is lost and the '!glrk of reforming them becomes impos- sible. The next meeting will be held at the residence of Mrs. E. A. Smith, 1725 Ala- meda avenue. Branches of the society are to be formed in San Leandro and Hay- wards and meetings are to be held at any early date at the residences of Mrs. Gray and Mrs, Judge Russell in the respective towns. Mandamus Proceedings. ALAMEDA, CAL., July 6.—The contrac- tor for the new machinery at the city’s electric light works, A. L.'Fish, has had his patience exhausted by the City Treasurer. This afternoon he instituted mandamus proceedings against R. G. Wheeler to force him to pay the two claims of $2500 and $7500, which were or- dered to be paid by the City Trustees to him on account of his contract. Mr. ‘Wheeler has for the past two months re- fused to pay these claims. He says his bondsmen are against his making an payments until the Fleming injunction suit is settled. As Judge Frick has stated that the City Trustees were quite justified in making the expenditure for increased eleciric vower Mr. Fish will also institute a suit for damages against the Cify Treasurer. A Queer Hallucination. ALAMEDA, CaL, July 6.—A young and Its church built by their countrymen in California. Fora long time the congre- | gation has been steadily growing and some time ago it was decided to build a church. A ready response was made to the call for funds and when the edifice is compvleted it will be free from debt. | The church is located on the west side ! of Twenty-fifth avenue, a short distance | north of East Fourteenth street. It was organized in Jaly, 1891, with twelve mem- | bers and this increased many fold at the | present time. Rev. Knute Nelson was | pastor for the first year and the present | pastor, Rev. N. Tyschesen, was called in | | January, 1893. | Fora year the regular meetings were | | held at Woodman's Hall, on Twenty-third avenue. For another period they were held at Liberty Hall, on Broadway, and | tinally in Knights of Pythias Hall, at Twenty-third avenue, The new building has been under con- struction for some time and the founda- tion-stone was formally laid yesterday. The ceremonies were very simple and | the pastor delivered a short adaress in | Norwegian. “Thisis the first church to be built by the | Scandinayian Baptists in this State,” said Rev, Tyschesen to-day. “We are naturally very proud of our effort, espe- cially as we see our way clear to pay off | every cent of the cost. For a few years we have been struggling under very hard | conditions, but we feel that the worst is | now past and in a few months we shall be able to worship in our own building. The members and their friends have been very generous, and all the money needed is | either in hand or promised.” POLITICAL EQUALITY CLUB It Is of Opinion That Women Have Other Lines of Work Besides on the Ballot. | Mecting of the City Trustees—Man- damus Proceedings Against the City Treasurer. ALAMEDA, Car, July 6.—Although such a number of people are away on va- cations, the parlors of the wife of Judge Waymire were filled this afternoon, when Mrs. C. L. Wood assumed the chair of the Women’s Political Equality Club. Great enthusiasm prevailed and a most pleasant afternoon was spent. - | Mrs. Hastie read a short extract from a treatise entitled *“The Philosophy of Mutualism,” by Professor Frank Powers, and Miss Bowen one from “The Arena,” dealing with the statement that tnere is no use in science for any theory unless its | practieability can be shown. Miss Cohen made a short speech. She held thut women were not as unselfish and self-denying as they were deemed. They can do something to better the present conditions of things, whether women get the ballot or not. She instanced the quan- tity of ready-made clothing on sale in al! the various shops at prices so low that sweating alone would not account for the low values. ““We women talk of suffrage and meet to organize clubs for reiieving | the poor and works of a kindred nature,”” she said, “‘and as soon as the meetings are over make it a point of going to these low- priced bouses and purchasing all our wants from them.” " She held that if women would combine aud determine not to patronize such establishments, but pay a fair price for what they required, they would be doing good to numbers of people who were forced to accept starvation | soon be a thing of the past. | quired for the opening of wages. Her remarks were indorsed by many present. Mrs. J. Hill said that most of the woman named Marie Nielsen, step- daughter of Hans P. Nielsen of Chestnut street, was arresied yesterday afternoon on a charge of insanity. The unfortunate young woman was examined this after- noon by the Lunacy Commissioners and sent to Ukiah, where she has been before. Shbe persists in saying she is the wife of Grover Cleveland and that he will not give her a divorce. Decease of a Club, ALAMEDA, CaL., July 6.—The El Nido Club, Alameda’s swell institution, will It _has never been a financial success. Starting in with indebtedness of several hundred do!lars, the lack of a sufficient numbsr of mem- bers and the want of interest exhibited by its adherents bas forced it to the wall. It will pass out of existence at the end of the month, after a life of just two years. Turning the Tables. ALAMEDA, Cav., July 6.—The city of Alameda has commenced suit against Emilie G. Cohen and others, under the law of eminent domain, to obtain the value of the land owned by them and re- incoln avenue, east of Versailles street. Since the decision of her injunction suit in favor of the city Mrs. Cohen has re- fused to accept the amount tendered her by the Street Commissioners and insti- tuted action for a new trial. City Trustees. ALAMEDA, Car., July 6.—The regular meeting of the City Trustees was held this evening. Correspondence was received from the Southern Pacific Company prom- ising to attend to the repair of Morton- reet station and to remedy the constant ringing of the alarm bell on Park street and Encinal avenue. The Superintendent of Streets reported that Gray Bros.’ work on the sidewalks on Eighth street and Haight avenue had been satisfactorily completed. The engineer’s report showed an expense of $477 45 for coal and salaries during previous month. The sum of $500 was placed to the credit of the health fund. Accounts amounting to $296 31 were ordered to be paid. The firemen were each granted fifteen days’ leave of absence. On the question of reissuing licenses to sell liquor all the old licenses were re- newed. An application was made for anew license by Mr. de Brett for the Pacific Hotel. Owing to the absence of Trustee Hammond, the voting being equal, the matter was laid over for one week. S R AR Angry Exempt, OAKLAND, Cav, July 6.—The Exempt Firemen have been meeting in the Police Court in the City Hail since their organi- zation, but the Council lately passed a resolution forbidding *‘all’’ meetings there except municipal bodies. The firemen believe the action was aimed directly at them. “It wasa direct slap,”’ said W. W. Moore, “‘but we could expect nothing else. The present council, or at least a majority of ils members, has done nothing but snub the firemen. We shall not ask them to allow us to use the Police Court. They have made their rule and we do not want_them to break it for us, We can get a hall of our own at some place and be independent.” —————— Came From Alaska. OAKLAND, CarL., July 6.—The body of John 8, Bugbee, a brotber of Sumner Bug- bee, was interred at Mountain View Cem- etery this afternoon. It was brought here from Alaska. He was a well-known_busi- ness man of that Territory, and was stricken down and died while presiding over a convention. Death was due to apoglexy. brought on by the excitement of the conflicting interests in the conven- tion. ——————— Wants His Stock, OAKLAND, CAL., July 6.—D. W. Swan has brought suic against the American Composition Pipe and Piledriver Company for 18,400 shares of stock. Swan alleges that the stock was transferred to Directors Badgeley, Fitzsimmons and O'Brien with the understanding that it was to be trans- ferred back to him aftert the annunal meet- ing.

SURROUNDED IN HIS HOUSE, Peter Thompson Finds a Burglar on His Friend'’s Premises. CALLED THE PATROL. A Dozen Men With Guns Close Around the Midnight Robber. THEN CAME A BIG SURPRISE. The Owner Had Returned Suddenly and Was Merely Inspecting His Property. OAKLAND OrricE SAN FRANCISCO Cu,z.,% 908 Broadway, July 6. Mr. Halbert, the capitalist of 1423 Web- ster street, narrowly escaped beinz shot for a burglar last night. His home is in the aristocratic part of town near the lake shore district and last winter many burg- laries were committed in that district and & sharp lookout has been kept ever since. A few weeks ago Mr. Halbert went to the springs with his family. He hasa lot of valuable material in his house and so he told of his trip to his friend Peter Thompson. Mr. Thompson owns a vast estate and is a neighbor to Halbert. He promised to take a look at the Halbert house night and morning. Last night Mr. Thompson was keeping his promise. He went to the Halbert home and saw a iight inside. He watched and waited expectantly for several min- utes. The light reappeared in another room, Mr. Thompson knew there shouid be no light there and at once concluded that a burglar, or perhaps two, were at work overhauling Mr. Halbert’s valuables. Peter Thompson was not long in acting. He at once laid his plans. He got together his Japanese boy, his eldest son and Mr. High of the Oakland Bank of Savings, who lives next door to Halbert, and toid them of the presence of the robbers. Mr. High went round to the back, while the Jap boy and Mr. Thompson guarded the front. His son he sent to the patrol box with orders to ring up the City Hall and call the patrol wagon. No one dared to blow a police whistle or the robbers wouid at ence be on their mettle. Just once it dawned on Mr. Thompson that the man in the house might pe Mr. Halbert. The two friends have a peculiar whistle with which tney attract each other's attention. Peter Thompson whistied, but it brought no response, and he was then positive that he had to deal with desperadoes. Mr. High, the Jap, and Mr. Thompson, all armed, were guarding the approaches to the house, when the patrol wagon dashed up with about a dozen men in it. They atonce surrounded the house and were closing in, preparatory to capturing the desperadoes, when the noise of the patrol wagon disturbed the robber and he appeared &t an upstairs window. “Throw up your hands; you are sur- rounded,” shouted one of the officers. Two hands were raised till they nearly touched the eaves, and a voice beseech- inzly implored the armed horde not to shoot. It was Halbert himself. He had returned from the springs unexpectedly and had lit a candle, with which he had gone from room to room seeing that every- thing was all right. Some explanations were made instead of arrests, and the friends of the two capitalists have consid- ered it advisable all to-day not to discuss burglars in their presence. MINISTERS TALK FINANCE With One Exzception Presbyte- rian Pastors Stand for Gold. Baptist Preachers Discuss a New Brotherhood—Dr. Pona on Resurrection. The Presbyterian Ministerial Union held a Quiz day yesterday, the subject dis- cussed being “The Silver Question.” Rev. Dr. Frasier, who set the subject going, spoke strongly in favor of gold. He condemned the Teller resolution, saying that it was not right to call the ratio be- tween silver and gold as 1 to 16, when it was really as 1 to 25 or 30. Rev. Dr. Alex- ander said: “There are thousands of dol- lars lying idle in the banks of this coun- try already. We already have sufficient money; what we want is more work for the people; set the mills going and that will give the people bread.” Rev. James Woodworth said he was not a silver man, but he would like to see free coinage tried for a while, to find out how it wonld work. Rev. Dr. Bevier, who up- held gold, said that it was the duty of min- isters to study linancial questions. He held tnat gold had an intrinsic value which especially fitted it to become the unit. “*New fields of gold are being dis- covered, which make it pretty certain that we shall not suffer for want of a gold cur- rency. On moral grounds I contend that no money can long maintain its position when it has a stamp value not equal to its face value."” Rey. Dr. Scott was the only one of the pastors present who made a strong stand for silver. *‘Those who advocate the gold standard ure the oppressors,” he said. “Make a single standard and you havea means by which the standard can be mon- opolized. It is because of the power of monopolizing that the Rothschilds have become the princes of finance. It is ow- ing to the gold standard that the; in Europe and cornmand our Sena! Beott denied an intrinsic value to which he said was oniy useful in itself to fiil teeth and make ornaments. Rev. Dr. Maitland and the other pastors present expressed themselves as being in favor of gold. The following officers were elected for the next six month: President, Rev. John Hunter of Berkeley; vice-president, Rev. J. B. Warren; secretary, Rev. James Woodworth. Baptist Preachers. At the meeting of the Baptist Ministers’ Conference yesterday Rev. H. L.

ASH. TERMS—C. GFO. AMSON. Anctioneer. who have been drawn together by simi- larity of conviction, and who believe that churches and pastors are absorbed in their own affairs, and are jealous of each other, and tnat internal forms are mggmhed and the spirit neglected, while Christians have been contented with a low plane of life bere and have postponed holiness for the future. The people who hoid these views have formed ibemselves into a brother- hood in order, they say, to make the king- dom of God once more the great object of Christian preaching. After stating the object of the brother- hood, Rey. Mr. Dietz said that for his own part hedid not look with any great ad- miration upon the movement, as he con- sidered it merely a step toward formulat- ing & new sect, one that labors under a false idea of the degeneration of the church. g *‘Will the Brotherhood of the Kingdom be able to unite all the so-called Chris- tians? 1do not think so. Itisa hard task to find_out what they mean by the king- dom. Every orzanization whicu lives loy- ingly together exemlifies the kingdom.” Dr. Dietz denied the charge of seltishness bronght by the brotherhood. In the discussion the general oplnion ex- pressed by the ministers was not one of in- dorsement of the brotherhood. During the reports from churches Rey. r. Russell expressed cratitude to Mr. rke. “I do not say Father Yorke,” he said, ‘‘because the Bible teaches ‘call no man father.” He gave us a fine advertise- ment, and if he goes on we shall continue to have crowded congregations.” Rev. M. Karlson of the First Swedish Baptist Church, Oakland, has been cabled back to Sweden to his congregation at Mora from wiich he only came away on leave of absence. He goes away next month. A call to the First Church has been extended to Rev. Charles Paim of Evanston, IlL Congregational Pastors. At the Congregational Monday Club Rev. Dr. Pond spoke yesteraay on the “Resurrection of the Dead.” He con- fessed his belief in resurrection, but not of the body. He held that there are celes- tial bodies and bodies terrestrial and that the Christian doctrine of the resurrection of the dead stands for a continuous un- broken life, which does not go onm, but goes up. In the discussion the ministers were about equally divided between belief in resurrection with the earthly body and resurrection as Dr. Pond had expounded it. Christian Pastprs. Rev. Dr. Gardiner read a paper before the Christian Brethren yesterday on *'How to Make Our State Meeting a Success.” The meeting will take place at Santa Cruz at the end of the present month. 10 RELIEVE THE LEPERS, Dr. Goto's Remedies Now Constant Use at the Pesthouse. in City Physician O'Brien Says They Will Greatly Relieve the Unhappy Patients. The remedies of Dr. Goto for leprosy are now in use at the Pesthouse. Last Sun- day they were administered for the first time to the patients, and so far as can be judged are giving satisfaction, though sev- eral months will be required in which to make a thorough test. It will be remembered that some time ago a private subscription for the purchase of the medicine was started by Supervisor C. E. Benjamin, chairman of the Health and Police Committee, and $200, the most of which passed through the office of TuE CaALL, was raised. Supervisor Benjamin is in receipt of the following self-explanatory letter from Frank Bindt of the hospital on Twenty-sixth street: Dear Sir: Your note of yesterday’s date is at hand. The medicine was safely delivered here Jast evening. This morning Dr. O’Brien came cutand arranged for us 1o begin using it to-morrow evening. The arrival of the medicine has already put new life into the veople out here and [ trust that the next six months will show & decided improvement in them all. On behalf of all the patients I sincerely thank you for what you have done forus. We also thank the people whoso kindly contrib- uted to the fund for the purchase of the medi- cine, I remain, very sl’l(elullyfionrl. ANK BINDT. “The remedies in use,” said Dr. A. P, O’Brien. the City Physician, “include pills and a tea, which are taken internally three times a day, and a bath, which is used daily for six successive days. While leprosy is incurable, this ireatment, which is generally used in the leper settiements of the SBandwich Islands, will, I think, al- leviate the sufferings of the patients. It heais the ulcers and cleanses the skin. “*There are fourteen lepers now in the hospital, and the supply of medicine will last for say six months. .If it results as heneficially as we expect I shcéuld be strongly in favor of continuing it. The cost, I should think, would pot exceed $600 or $800 a year.” e e ALL-NIGHT CARS. They Will Be Put on in Connection ‘With the French Celebration. Special arrangements have been made by the Market-street Railway Company to accommodate those who desire to partici- pate in the celebration of the Fall of the Bastile next Tuesday at the Chutes Garden, at the end of Haight street. The Ellis and O'Farrell street cars will run all night, and a special line of all: nignt cars will also be operated after1 A. M. Cars will start at Bay and Powell streets, thence run along Powell 1o Mont- omery avenue, Broadway, Kearny, 'hird, Mission, Sixteenth, Church, Fiil- more, Oak, Stanyan and along the latter to Haight. Cars will run as often as the occasion may r-quire. Service on the Folsom-street line began yesterday. Fourteen cars were placed on the line with six minutes’ headway.

HER IDEA OF WOMAN’S HONOR. ion to Destroy Herself and Family Changed by the Pas- tor’s Sermon. “I was led last Sunday week,” said Pastor W. L. Birch on Sunday morning at Calvary Church, “by an uncontrollable impulse to speak words of comfort to per- sons in trouble and to any who, through burden of poverty or for fear of discovery of wrongdoing, contemplated suicide. Later on there came to me a well-bred woman of irreproachable reputation, who said she had been brought to despair by reason of adverse circumstances, and who, were she to do wrong, might bs liftea from poverty. She, however, had refused to swerye from woman's honor, but, feeling that there was no hope in this world, she had resolved that night to destroy herself and her family. “During the sermon she felt that by second sight I knew her case, and her brain became balanced with the result, and, as with sobs and tears she told her tale, she had not words to express her gratitude at being saved from the deadly crime for which she had prepared. “‘She was a woman of good education and musical genius, and since she has friends in New York who would be able to assist her, vet not able to send her money, I should be glad if this wealthy congrega- tion and other benevolent friends would raise a fund to send her there. Please give the money to Thomas Magee of 4 Monigomery street or to S. H. Clement of 302 Montgomery street, who I hope may | obtain reduced rates from the railroad company.” A lady of the congregation, in response to the pastor’s appeal, at once started the relief fund with a subscription of $5. “I feel bound,” continued the pastor, “to tell you of a matter which greatly pains me. I have been more than once at the City Prison to see Miss “mma Ashley and I took her my Bible, since the one she used has been seized by the legal tribunal. She had not any remembrance of buying the pistol, and” the awiul act she attempted seems to her to have been done by some other one. She believes that in the im- pulse of her unbalanced mind her first_in- tention was self-destruction. Regarding the act for which she is now in prison, she can scarcely believe she did it. Butthat she knows it is a fact as related by others. *‘She and her sister have suffered much hardship. Some days they have scarcely anything to eat, and but for the comfort derived from the services in this church Lillian thinks she would have broken down. I should like to raise a little fund to help them. “But what I wished chiefly to say is that I was completely upset by the scenes in the City Prison, In one place, which was exactly like the den in a wild beast show, were a number of wretched women lying on the seats and floor, like bundles of dirty clothes. When I looked into one face, with compassion in my eyes, the woman put her hands upand burst into sobs. Another, about 18 years of age, looked at me, crying ‘Ob, God !’ “In the wild-beast den, next to the women, were a dozen or more men, but I could not bear the sight of them, and the horrid smell I inhaled made me sick. Further on was another vage, with worse criminals, one of whom clearly showed in- sanity in his eyes, and here the suffocating stench would, 1 think, be_ouly equaled by the pestilence which so grieved John How- ard when he pleaded with the world for humanity to be shown to prisoners. ‘“While the bands were playing, the glorious American flag waving and the joyous Fourth of July being celebrated by the crowded thousands of this City, the fifty prisoners referred to were suffering from our unkindness in the City Prison, and in the name of the sacred flag we rey- erence, which means justice and human- 1ty, I appeal for the removal of the horrid wrong which is perpetrated there. “If the City cannot provide better and more sanitary quarters, let us, as benevolent men ard women, build a new temporary prison. Might not this work be undertaken by the churches? If so, L shall be glad to set the righteous cause afloat by giving a hundred dollars, and if it may be permitted, I now offer my services as chaplain to the prisoners.” Emma Ashley, the sister of Liilian Ash- ley, who recently took a shot at E.J. Baldwin, seems to have been a lady of de- termination. Distressed by poverty, her reason had become so unbalanced that she had de- liberately resolved to make away, not only with herself, but also with her cister and her child, some days before the occurrence of the court shooting scene. She was an attendant of Calvary Pres- byterian Church, and it was in conse- uence of the services conducted by astor Birch that she was led to abandon her murderous ideas. Her reso- lutions, though, seem to have been founded upon sand, for when she went into court a few days later and witnessed the humiliation and diserace of her sister Liilian she forgot hereelf, and, acting upon a strong impulse, fired her pistol at the millionaire, and fortunately missed. This sheds a new light upon her dra- matic story. Dr.-Birch intends seeing “Lucky’’ Bald- win, to ask him to become a joint bonds- man with himself for the release of Emma Ashley until the day of trial.
