THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1896. Interesting News Items From Alameda County. POWDER WORKS ON AN ISLAND The Pinole Establishment to Be Moved Near Alvarado. SURVEYORS AT WORK. Their Presence on Captain Scott’s Island Is no Longer a Mystery. THE SITE WELL PROTECTED. In Case of an Explosion the Effect Would Not Be Felt, Except on One Side of the Island. OAxrLAND OFFICE EAN Francisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 1L For several days there has been some quiet excitement at Scott’s Island, near Alvarado. Burveyors have been laying out stakes and making plans and taking bearings and running lines and doing other simple things which appear myste- rious till understood. It was learned to- day that they are preparing plans for building powder wo: and when com- pleted the works at Pinole, which recently went up in an explosion, will be trans- ferred to the island. Scott’s Island is an ideal place for pow- der works that are periodically wrecked by explosions. Itisan island surrounded by marsh. The best location for the works is on the hillside, facing the bay. ‘There would be the whole island between the scene of an explosion and the nearest inhabitants, who dwell on the mainland across the creek that runs all around the island. The new location is near Patterson’s landing, but the latter.is at_the back of the hill. Everything would be protected by the island and the concussion would not be felt beyond its borders, owing to the soft nature of the ground. The farm- ers in the neighborhood do not anticipate any disastrous effects trom the proximity of the works, as they are all on the main- land. The operations on the island have been a source of interest to the people on the mainland for several days, and it was rumored that the railroad company was going to establish shopson the island. To-day a party went over in a boat and made inquiry. They were informed that they were laying out the locations of the various departments of the powder works, which it is the intention to remove from Pinole. There is plenty of water on the bay shore of the inlet for a first-class wharf and landing, and it is likely that all the employes, excepting perhaps, the China- men will live on the mainland. A few years ago the island was first proposed as a powder-work location, but the project was then dropped. It isnot known when the works will be removed, but as the company will have to se- cure such new plant before full oper- dtions are resumed, it is likely that Scott’s Island will be ready for its initial ex- plosion before the end of the year. ALAMEDA MAKES APPEAL The Secretary of War Asked to Begin on the Tidal Caral. TKS, Oakland Says Dr. McLean Is Wasting His Time and Does Not Repre- sent Anything. ALAMEDA, Cavn, Sept. 11.—Nothing daunted by her past failures in trying to secure the construction of the tidal canal Alameda has played another card which those interested say will prove to be a trump. At the meeting of the Board of Trustees last Monday evening Dr. J. T, McLean, the Health Officer of the aty, appeared and made a whispered announce- ment to the president of the board and then hurriedly left. Later the announce- ment was made and entered upon the minutes that “The communication from the board had been maiied to the Secre- tary of War.” The document there referred 1o is a plea to the Secretary of War to begin work upon the Oakland harbor improvements at once, in accordance with ““An act mak- ing appropriations for the construction, repair and preservation of certain public works on rivers and harbors and for other purposes,”’ passed by Congress. The latest letter in this controversy be- tween two cities sets forth that in the original report of the Government en- gineers, submitted to Congress in 1874, and which was adopted, the order of work was laid down in the following order: First, constructing the jetties as retaining walls; second, building of the canal; third, building of a'dam at the mouth of San Lean- dro Bay; fourth, excavating of the tidal basin, The board then urges that the work must be done in this manner if done at all under the act befcre mentioned. Dr. McLean, in speaking of the letter this afternoon, said We do not propose to oppose Oakland’s interests in the least, but_rather urge the completion of the dredging on that side at once. We be- lieve that there is enough available money to let contracts for all of the work to be done simultaneously, and that is what we have worked for. Alameda bLas com- mercial interests as well as Oakland—not as large, I will admit, but as important to us as Oakland’s 1s to her. I believe that the money appropriated cannot be used for any other work than that planned be- fore the appropriation was made, but the Secretary o? ‘War could stop work en- tirely, which we are as opposed to as Oak- land.” OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 11.—The people who represent this city in toe controversy as Lo the proper method to be pursued to complete Oakland barbor laughed when told of Dr. McLean’s joker, and said that Alameda’s Heaith Officer is at sea on every point. Edson F. Adams procuced the report of Colonel Mendell in the Gov- ernment Reports, in which it says that the dredging and completing of the ship channel should be the first thing done. “Dr. McLean is doing the improve’mam roject more harm than he knows,” said r. Adams to-night. “We have been to Alameds, and we find that he Hucucnlly represents no one but himself. He has been a hindrance from the time he was first heard of in connection with this mat- ter, and he induced several Oaklanders to sign his petition, in which was inserted a clause to which their attention was not called, and every one of them afterward sent to Washingion a report repndiating their signature. That method of McLean’s is well vnderstood, and there is not a par- ticle more of merit in his present move.” ————— TENNIS TOURNEY. High School Kacquet-Wielders Will Contest for Supremacy y Soon.

Mount Eden Will Open a Big Repub- lican Wigwam To-Morrow Night. Political Notes. OAELAND OFFICE SBAN Fraxcisco CALL,% 908 Broadway, Sept. 11. The Republican candidates for office are vreparing for the primaries to be held on the 19th inst. The most active combining is, of course, over the nominations for Superior Judges and Supervisors. In the fight for the two Judges the county has declared that it must bhave one and that Oskland shall not gobble all the nomina- tions as has been the rule in the past. Their favorite is G. W. Langan of Liver- more. No oiher county candidate for Judge has appeared, although there are a dozen in Oakland, The Democrats and Populists have prac- tically decided to fuse. They will both held their conventions ai the same time and place and will discuss the terms of barter and exchange in the interim. To-morrow night the Mount Eden wig- wam will be formally ovened by Samuel M. Shortridge. Great preparations have been made and the people will. gather from all the surrounding townships. The wigwam is a comfortable place and repre- sents the biggest effort in the cause of Re- gnb‘liiaanisxn yet made in that neighbor- 00d. The officers of the Mount Eden Mc¢Kin- ley Club are H.

Butsociety thinks differently, SEYMOUR IS MISSING. Not Seen Since He Aroused His Neigh- borhood With His Pistol. ALAMEDA, Can., Sept. 11.—Richard Seymour, who aroused the residents in the neighborhood of his home on Clinton street Tuesday night by firing off his revolver three times, bas been missing lately from his usual haunts and 1t is said that he has joined his wife, whom he accused of eloping with O. Parks a week ago. That Parks did not elope with Mrs. Seymour 1s positively proven by the records of the County Jail, where he was confined as a prisoner at the time when he was accused of being with the missing woman, Seymour is supposed to have joined his wife, who is somevqhere in the country. Whnen seen to-night Mr. Parks was at bome with bis wife and talked freely of the affair. He said: “Yes, I have.had a little trouble, but I am happy now that it is settled. I was foolish enough to let the attention of the wife of & neighbor turn my head after being married eleven years.” For Special Work, OAKLAND, CaL, Sept. 1L.—The City Council 1s to be petitioned to set aside a small’sum, as an experiment, to be unsed to hire men regularly to gather evidence against liquor-license violators and others who cannot be detected in breaking the law by members of the regular police force. Much objection has been made in the past to the evidence of men whose pay de- pends on a conviction of the cases, as is now the case. It is expected that the Council will try the new plan, and it will depend upon the result as to whether or notit will be continued.

GONEBUTNOT FORGOTTEN Creditors After Allie Evers, Cigar Drummer and Ama- teur Pugilist. Reasons for the Resignation. of the Rev. E. B. Payne—Athletes Sign a Pledge. BERKELEY, Cawn., Sept. 11.—‘‘Allie” Evers, a well-known local amateur pugil- ist, has suddenly left Berkeley, and a con- stantly increasing number of creditorsare on his trail and preparing to take steps for collection of debis amounting, in the ag- gregate, it is thonght, to about $200, The young man, who is a son ot Cor- onor Evers of Oakland, left yesterday morning with his wife and child for Los Angeles. He has resided in Berkeley about three months, during which time he has been employed as a drummer by a San Frannisco cigar firm. Last week he lost his employment, the importunities of creditors became too hot and he con- cluded to seek pastures new. A meeting of those 1o whom Evers owes money will be held in_the near future, when a course will bedecided upon. Itis said that all his accounts will be settled by his father, Coroner Evers. Among the largest local creditors of the young man were H. N. Waterbury, C. Demetrak, J. G. Wright and Mikkelsen & Berry. Rev. Mr. Payne’s Resignation. BERKELEY, Cax, Sept. 1L—The an- nouncement of the Rev. E. B. Payne's resignation as pastor of the First Uni- Buperintendent find that it is a very diffi- cult matter to make a rich man Jay a side- walk in conformity with law. John Aliman, the yeteran stage proprie- tor and property-owner, who is credited with being worth at least half a million, owns some land on Vernon Heights. His neighbors are Orestes Pierce, Senator Per- kins, John L. Howard, Mrs. Lloyd Bald- win and other wealthy people who when they walk in the neighborhood of their houses like to tread on artistic sidewalks. “‘Honest John'' Allman, who walked in early days on sidewalks that were portions of pioneer roads, does not approve of lay- ing a mosaic or even a cement sidewalk in front of property with no house upon it and there is trouble. The feud has been brewing in that aristocratic quarter for montbs and fresh fuel is added to it every time that the Street Committeec meets. Mr. Alilman several weeks ago laid a board sidewalk either so late at night or so early next morning that his neighbors declare it was a moonlight job. H.

OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 11.--The attempt of the City Council to cut off the sewers from the city system on the north has re- suited in again starting the talk of an: ation of the territory between the city lim- its and Temescal Creek. Charles A. Bonn of that district apoeared before the Street Committee last evening and hed them de- fer action for a month, and, meanwhile, the necessary steps will be taken to call another election on the subject. Good Hop Crop. PLEASANTON, CAn, Sept. 11.—The Lop season is now fairly on and also the beet crop. The hop acreage is much smaller than in former years, but the yield is heavy. Pickers are getting 70 cents per hundred pounds, which is small, but the 5rowen contend it is all they can afford 0 pay. Last night Orestes Pierce and John Allman met in the Council chamber. Mr. Allman said he had laid a good board side- walk, and facetiously asked if the **cod- fish” aristocracy of ‘the Heights wanted him to lay a velvet carpet for them to tread upon. Then Mr. Aliman reaily said that he was only worth $45, in spite of the assessment-roll. He did not say so di- rectly, but he said that he had spent $45 in sidewalks, and later, ‘e spent all my money trying to satisfy youn.” This appeal touched Mr. Pierce, and he repiied: ““If you are not able to put down the sidewalk we will take up a collection and assist you, Then there was a scene more suggestive of the Watts Tract than of Vernon Heights. To-day Mr. Allman was served with a warrant for laying a8 board sidewalk with- out permission of the City Council. The Street Committee is not quite sure how it stands, and so the whole matter has been referred to the Citv Attorney. A visit to the board sidewalk, on which society refuses to walk, shows a very solid sidewalk upon which, compared to others in the immediate neighborhood, there ex- ists no difference. Mr. Allman once had a house on the property, but it burned / J and expect to do better work at less cost to the cit; Mrs. Ballington Booth Coming. ALAMEDA, CiL, Sept. 11.—The Voi- unteers of America have been busily en- gaged this afternoon cleaning up and put- ting in order the rooms at 2404 Santa Clara avenue, which they have rented for headquarters. Meetings are held only three times a week at present, Mondays, Thursdays and B-lurdnf'l, under the supervision of Captain Miles of Oakland. As soon as a sufficient number of recruits have been enlisted & post will be orzan- ized and officers stationed here. The Linderman Opera-house has already been engaged for the evening of October 15, when Mrs. Ballington Booth will speak to the citizens upon the work she and her husband are doing. Allof the ministers will be invited to take part in the even- ing’s programme, and an effort will be made to secure the good will of all classes of people. Ho Feels Injured. OAKLAND, CaL., Sept. 11.—R. B. Arm- strong, a native son of this city, was ar- rested 1n Stockton Wednesaay and kept in prison twenty-four hours as a flckmcke&, at the instigation of Detective Holland of the Oakland department. He charges Holland with using vile language toward him, and identifying him to San Francisco officers as a thief, pickpocket and all- round crook, whom they should keep an eye open for, and then trying to get him heid as a vagrant. Detective Holland has gone to Sacra- mento for the fair, and his version could not be obtained. Arrested for Talking. OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 11.—Auctioneer Rosenberg, the best known street orator of Oakland, was arrested to-night for vio- lating the ordinance { ohibiting public spezking on the sidewalk. For some time past Rosenberg has nightly used language that was offensive to passers-by and many complaints have been made. He was re- leased on hail put up by a stranger who refused to glve hisname, and immediately after ascended the City Hall steps and de- nounced his arresters and announced his intention to employ T. V. Cator and sue the city for damages. Election Expenses. OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 11.—The Super- visors, at first calculations, estimated that the fall election would cost about $40,000, but since then detailed estimates have been made which cut the figures down. The figures now are: Pay of election officers, $12,000; great register, $6000; ballots, advertising proclamation, buying new books, etc., $10,000; total, $28,000. Fully §15,000 was saved the county by the law requiring the County Clerk to get out the new great register. Back From Yosemite. OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 11,—The Oak- landers who were arrested at Yosemite by Government troops for carrying firearms on that reservation returned home to-day. They are C. O. G. Miller, H. Michaels, John L. Howard, G. H. Collins, A. H. Hill and D. Y. Campbell. They declare that their arrest was an outrage, and that they intend to obtain satisfaction for being marched eizhty miles by the sergeant who arrested them. He Will Appeal. ALAMEDA, CaL, Sept. 1L—F.

Mr. Payne stated to-day that he left the church for personal reasons. It is thought that_he desires to give his time to literary work, and that in the dis- charge of his duties as pastor he was kept within too close bounds. The pastor is known to be a man of very liberal views, and it is said that some of his philosophi- cal teachings are beyond the bounds even of Unitarianism. Mr. Payne exerts a powerful influence in his flock, and his resignation has given rise to deep regret. His sermons were pro- foundly philosophical, each one being in the nature of a lecture rather than a ser- mon, and he bad many hearers outside of the membership of the” Unitarian society. It is said that there is some dissatisfac- tion with Mr. Payne among the more socially inclined Unitarians on account of his being little disposed to take part in tea parties, etc., and to spend time in visiting.

BERKELEY, CAn, Sept. 11.—The crack athletes at the State University have placed themselves under a set of rules for governing their work of training and their entering in field-day contests.

The students decided that it womd be exiremely difficult to arrange a suitable programme for University day, and im- possible to prevent the students who might attend from having an imprompta celebration of their own, such as took glucs last year, and which tends to pro- uce an unfavorable opinion of collegians in the minds of visitors to the fair, Brief News Items.
