TIMELY REBUKE ‘The President of the Alli- -ance Speaks of Press . Committees. . DUTIES OF IMPORTANCE Pastor Davis Was Not Aware ‘. :.He-Was the Center of a Sensation. A7 COMMITTEE SO REPORTS. "Next ”S:gring's ‘Election Already Casts ./ Its Shadows o the Tax ST Levy " OAKLAND OFFICE Sa¥ FraNcIsco CALL,) 5 908 Broadway, Sept. 27. . George R. Morrow, president of the Re- publican Alliance, expressed his intention “a few days ago to prepare an essay on the -duties of press committees. There is cer- tainly need of just such a task being! undertaken in this city, as recent events - - have provea. When the alliance went to Los Angeles there was a contlict regarding lie dnties of the press eommittee that ‘caused not a little unpleasantness. A similar committee was appointed to - handle the advance work of last night's great meeting, and great was the surprise of President Morrow to find that after issuing a little noiice of the meeting a ‘week ago they retired from active service. " The day before the meeting Mr, Morrow - constituted himself a press committee of " one, made the tour of Newspaper Row and last night the Tabernacle coula noc . h¢ld the immense crowd tirat wanted to .-heat the ofatory and music. . Mr. Morrow's essay will be very timely, #nd for the good of all concerned it is to * be hoped tbat its circulation will be un- limited. It i impossible for correspond- ‘ents.’to ‘be at and know of all the places . -wheré' the local leaders of the political parties “are. arranging the details of their “'meetings,- and it is supposed by all con- “cerned . {hat the - press committee is sup- - plying the matter to the papers. Mr. Morrow: has discovered that such is not " the-case and will start a crusade to rem- édy matters.. The latest brand of “whitewash” has ‘beén discovered py the officers of the Cen- tral Christiam Church. A few days ago tbe . congregation of that church was shocked beyond measure when more than .. ‘half:a page .of -a sensational newspaper was-given ‘to the’ poses that the pastor, Rev. Edwards-Davis, was to assume in his pulpit.” The reverend gentleman was rep- rerented ‘as standing on one leg, falling ‘tragicslly, jnmping in the air and going - :through: various, other mountebank per- - ;formances, peculiar to the stage, foreign to .the pulpit. The congregation was ‘shocked and a’ special meeting of the of- ficsts of fhe church, was called to consider - the matter. The pastor was loud in his dentinciation of such -methods of direct- * ing ‘public -attention toward himself and “was (uite:at a loss to understand how the grap”s-and interview were secured, nformed the official body of the - .’church.” LS The court of inquiry was eminently sat- Il concerned, and they sent ces stating, among other t ‘‘After careful examination = it.has'Been séen that said article was pub- lishéd entirely without the knowledge or pproval.’ of ‘our pastor. The interview and pirotographs were secured from ma- terial’ nséd in the advertisement of a 5 r¢ or- ‘The Science of Art,” in which - ‘appears thé ‘Autpor’s Act,” and as such is * public property.” The n-wspaper’s side of the affair was Dot given out. It is quietly given out that there may be ‘no- ¢ity tax levy this year. This sounds . like a very wild statement, but there is . muth foundation for it. The Council has -. fixed its figure and the Mayor bas de- .. clared for §1 and notacent more. The ~ ordihance will go to the Mayor ina few days and he has announced that he will veto it. Itis notthought likely thatthere will be enough votes to pass it over his veto and so there will be a deadlock. Last * year ‘the Comncil broke the deadlock by - .'mccepting the Mayor’s figure. Thisyear it is announced sub rosa that they will not be dictated to. There is merit on both % sides and the’result will be interesting. . Mayor Davie has proved that the city can be run on a $1levy and argues that this period is not one in which to increase .“taxes. The Council say that $l is barely efiough for current expenses and that there-fire some improvernents which must be carried out. - " - Theh there is another feature in the alwaysa prominent one in Oakland, Jariuary the municipal campaign ‘will.open, and already there is talk of who will :bg Mayor Davie’s successor. The . -office-seekers.will need some slozan with * ‘'wiiiclr to go before the voters. The Non- Paitisan Counciimen have already de- ided- that their’s_shall be *“‘public im- provement’; the Davieites have declared of feconomy.”’ 2 Hence the tax-levy deadlock. Sigere 8. W. B, - G. A.

A Young Lady From San Francisco Is the Heroine at Mendenhall Springs. OAKLAND, CaL, Sept. 27.—A few days ago Miss Olympia Arrambide was the beroine of the hour at Mendenhall Springs. The foxhounds had *treed” a wildeat two milesdistant from the springs in a rough canyon which is given over en- tirely to wild beasts. Miss Arrambide heard the pleading of the hounds 1o come to their assistance, so she mounted Black Billy, the fyvorite horse at the springs, and with rifle in hand headed for the fray. Tne mountain became so steep that she finally tied the horse and wound her way up the hill, with the assistance of twigs from the brush. She finaliy reached the tree where the dogs were holding at bay, perched on the limb of a spreading oak, a large wildcat. Although somewhat fatigued, the plucky young lady leveled her rifle and the cat dropped tothe earth. For fear he was not dead another was fired into the beast, which made everything secure. Miss Arrambide broughi back the beast, and the skin is now being prepared for a rug which will adorn a prominent part of her home. MOPTED A BEW ROLE, Mrs. Tuonell’s Many Visits to the Mother of Abe Majors, the Boy Burglar. Anxious to Interest Herself in Trying to Secure a Pardon for the Young Desperado. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 27. } Mrs. Tunnell of the Brown-Overman case has appeared in a new role, but will not be able to bring herself into public no- tice by the line of work she is eager to per- form. During the past three weeks Mrs, Lu- cinda Wagner has received visits period- ically from a woman, who offerea her serv- ices to obtain the release of Abe Majors from Folsom. The visitor professed to have great influ- ence, and spoke confidently of being able to get the boy freed. She cited the case where she once got a prisoner released from San Quentin, and boasted of her power with bard-hearted officials who were unapproachable by less influential persons. Mrs. Wagner intuitively felt no inclination to put her son’s case with Gov- ernor Budd into the mysterious visitor's hands. After some half dozen visits some one recognized the woman, and she admitted that she was Mrs. Tunnell, and was only interested in Mrs. Wagner’s troubles through humane promptings, with no de- sire for glory or money. However, Mrs. Wagner did not avail herself of Mrs. Tunnoll’s offer, which seemed a great surprise to her., REPUBLICAN RALLY. A Big Ratification Meeting at Call- fornla Hall To-Night.

SOLD FOR TEN DOLLARS The Lucky Purchaser Tears the Floating House to Pieces and Then Disappears. LIFE STORY OF A MISER Was an Old Pioneer Who Did Little E se Than Excite the Curiosity of His Neighbors. OAxRLAND OrricE SAx FrANcIsco Cn.r.,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 27. “Big George" of Alviso bought the ark of his dead friend, Rodney, last week for $10. It is now believed that he cleared not less than $10,000 on the deal. Roaney was the oldest settler of the Alviso marshes. Nobody living in that vicinity remembers the time when Rod- ney was not on the marsh with his ark. The old man lived on his ark for years and was looked upon with some supersti- tion, as it was commonly reported that he 'was a miser. It was known that he came to this coast in 1849 and that he spent some time at the mines, because he frequently said so. It has always been supposed that he was rich and that he was engaged in some speculations that yielded handsome re- turns. Sometimes for a period of weeks he would be missing from his lonely ark, but on such occasions no one saw him go and no one saw him return. It was re- ported on one occasion that Rodney had been seen in San Francisco attired in fine clothes and bearing all the evidence of being a gentleman of wealth. The mysterious old man was very secre- tive in his manner, and when questioned about himself he never gave ln‘i satisiac- tion. He moved his ark about from place to place, and was known to all the sports- men who visited the marshes from all the cities around the bay. About a week ago Rodney was missed. | Nothing would have been thought of it had not his dog been seen running about | the top of the ark as if in distress. When- | ever the old man had gone away previ- ously he had always taken his dog with him. When two days had passed and he did not appear some one forcibly entered passed away. The Coroner of Santa Clara held an in- quest and death wasfound to be due to natural causes. During the lifetime of Rodney the man who seemed to be better agnainted with him than anybodv else was ‘‘Big George,”” a well-known man around Alviso. soon as-George heard of the old man’s death he bought the ark from the Public Administrator for $10. . It is statea that the old miser kept all his money in the ark and that he had at one time as much as $40,000 in it. At his death it is believed there was not less than $20,000. This sum George is supposed to have got for his purchase. A visit to the ark to-day disclosed a very interesting state of affairs. Every iece of lining had been torn down, the goorlng had been removed and it was evident that & most thorourh ransacking of the premises had taken place. What- ever was in the ark has gone and so has George. No one has seen him or been able to find him since he made his pur- chase. and he often expressed a fear during his life that he might be robbed. During ail the yvears of his residence, however, he was never molested, but passed as Alviso’s man of mystery. ASK PAY FOR DEAD COWS Dairymen Believe They Should Be Compensated for Stock Destroyed. The Coming Conventicn Will Devote Much Time to Discussing Tuberculosis Dairymen in the counties surrounding the bay and, in a lesser degree, all persons interested in the dairy industry throagh- out the State are looking anxiously to the convention which is to be held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms Tuesday and Wednesday. In many respects this the third convention of the California Duiry Association is of the utmost im- portance, but pre-eminent among the topics to be considered is the extermina- tion of cows affected with tuberculosis. The officials of the association are anx- ious that 1t shall not appear they are in any way opposing the Board of Health in its «fforts to procure pure milk to con- sumers, but they seek some method of making the burden of the reform less onerous to owners of cattle, They are also anxious to determine just what steps are actually necessary to pro- tect the public and what view the h‘ggeu autborities take of the prevalence of the epidemic and its effects. To thisend they have invited Dr. P. K. Brown, represent- ing the Academy of Sciences, U. C. Reidy of the San Francisco Microscopical So- ciety, E. Jaffa of the agricultural depart- ment of the University of California, Pro- fessor C. W. Woodworth, Dr. R, H. Freund of the Micmncopic-l Bociety, Pro- fessor E. J. Wickson and others to read papers bearing on this important subject. “We hope,” said SBamuel E. Watson, secretary of the association, ‘‘that in the views of these men we will find something favorable to the dairy interests, but we have no intimation to that effect, and, whatever their views may be, we are will- ing to stand by them. bat we wish is an intellizent discussion of the subject in order that we may know the truth and act necordlngll{." Major Henry E. Alvord of the United States Bureau of Animal Industries will arrive in the City to-morrow, and from him many valuable suggestions are ex- pected. Major Alvord has in his trip across the continent attended several con- ventions, and he comes fully prepared to instruct toe association on the methods pursued elsewhere. He is considered one of the highest authorities in the country upon dairy matters, As 8 measure of practical relief a recom- mendation will be introduced that legisla- tive provision be made for reimbursin, stock-owners whose cattle are killed by the autuorities in cases where no attempt is made to conceal the presence of tubercu- losis when known. Such I revail in s large number of the States where dairy the ark and found that the old ‘man had | As | Rodney often said he had no relatives | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1896. inspection prevails, the measure of com- pensation being one-half the value of the stock as determined by arbitration. On account of the unusual interest being displayed at least 200 delegates are ex- pected. TURNERSAT THE FAIR A ¥ine Programme of Athletic Exer- cises in the Pavilion This Evening.

CRICKET ACROSS THE BAY A Drawn Match Between the Pacific and Alameda Elevens, E. Tietze, F. While the Bohemians Easily Defeat ' the Californians at Golden Gate. . Two cup cricket matches were played yesterday. That at Alameda, between the club of that name and the Pacifics,was varticularly interesting and resulted ina draw, ightly in favor of the latter. Cap- tain G. Theobald, winning the toss, sent his opponents in to bat. With two excep- tions every member of the team contrib- uted to a total of a century and a half. Captain Hogue, Sloman and Hood all playea rattling innings, the latter’s 35 | being especially meritorious, The field- ing of the Pacifics was anything but up to their standard—a remark, by the way, that applies to both sides. At 3:45 the Pacifics started to bat, and it augurs well for their play that before the call of time they came within 32 of their antagonists’ score and with the loss of 7 wickets., The scores: ALAMEDAS.

Reliance, Olympic and Garden City Road Races Create Great Eanthusiasm. The largest crowds, best races and fast- est time of the year characterized ths wheelmen’s road races held over the San Leandro-Haywards course yesterday. The roads were fine, the weather perfect and the way the wheelmen turned out should set at rest the suggestion that wheeling is in its decadence. The Bay City Wheelmen’s tandem race resulted in some phenomenally fast time being made. OC. A. Kraft and George E. Dixon covered the course in 10:22 4-5, & world’s record for the distance. T. A. Griffitns and John Davidson made it in 10:38, another world’s record. The following score shows the different performances: C. A. Kraft and George E. Dixon, 10:22 4-5. T. A.

The timing was particularly accurate and in the hands of experienced men. At San Leandro it was handled by William Yeoman, H. F. Terrill, J. F. Hancock and A. W. Rhys.

Taken altogether yesterday showed a great revival in the interest in cycle road- racing and the fast time made over the San Leandro course will doubtless induce all the other clubs to hold events in the near future. e * THE PRACTICAL MAN. As Viewed From the Standpoint of the Theosophist. At ameeting of the Theosophical Society in Golden Gate Hall last evening, James H. Griffes read a very carefully prepared and logical paper, setting forth whatisa practical man from the standpoint of the theosophist. Such a man he described as one who is not actuated by selfishness, but whose ideas are so broad that they enable him to think and act for the better- ment of mankind. Such a man, he said, is a leader in public affairs, and his leader- ship is not for self but for the general public good. The lecturer entered into the various phases that go to make up an un- selfish man, and told how such a man becomes more useful in the community in which be lives, and how the example he sets leads people to think and study. The people, he said, are becoming more altru- 1stic, and day by day are becoming more unselfish, and that it is a noticeable fact that the churches are broadening in this age of education and advancement, when the people are become more practical in every branch and are reaching out for the real things of life. In conclusion he de- clared that the practical man is the one who knows himself. Tne lecture, delivered in a clear and forcible manner, was listened to with a great deal of attention and was heartily applauded. ————— Sorry He Spoke.

USSEL PITCHED WELL, Oakland Ballplayers Beat the San Franciscos in the Last Inning. The Visitors Outbatted the Local Men and Also Outclassed Them in the Field. The Oaklands crossed the bay yesterday with a choice collection of their best bats, and the way they wielded them when they arrived at the Folsom-street grounds made Pitcher Cooney long for the medi- cine that relieves one of “that tired feel- ing.” Every man of the visiting team, except Donovan, hit safely, and Arleti, Johnson and Wolters each secured three hits. One of Johnson's drives was a home run, and one of Wolters’ a three-bagger. Although the stick work of the Church City men is responsible for their victory, great credit is due Pitcher Russel, whose work wss excellent throughout. Russel struck out ten men, gave but three bases on balls, and allowed the locals but seven hits, no two of which were bunched, ex- cept in the third inning, when the San Franciscos secured three runs on hits by Krug, Murphy and Scott and errors by Arlett and Agnew. As Cooney was also keeping the hits well scattered it looked as though, with a lead of tnree, Blake’s men would win. Oakland, however, scored one in the fourth on hits by Arlett and Wolters and John- son’s out, and tied the scorein the sixth on Johnson’s single, Wolters’ triple and Pequigney’s fly to center. L ch side got a man around _the circuit in the eighth, much to the delight of the crowd on the bleachers, which settled down for an extrainning game. The small boys were doomed to di-appointment, however, for no less than ten of the Oak- lands went to the bat in the ninth inning, and when the third out had been made four of them had succeeded in crossing the plate. In their half of thefinal inning the locals were unable to get a man as far as second. Following is the official score: BAN FRANCISCOS. A.B. R. B.E. 8.B. P.O. Monah: b.

A game of baseball was played at the Park yesterday between the Boraxaidsand the Oakland Famous, which was won by the former club by a score of 9 to 8. The battery was Hennessy and Lane for the Boraxaids, and Feige and Whaiey and Brockoff for the Famous. The Evening Bulletins had an easy thing of it yesterday with the Strauss & Strauss at the Presidio grounds, The effective bat- tery work of O'Toole and Ferguson, coupled with a succession of double plays, won the game for the Bulletins, The win- ners were heavy batters throughout.

A naturalist, who is much interested in birds, says that tbe crow is the wisest of all feathered animals. He has made a number of experiments recently, and de- clares that an ordinary, well-educated crow can count to twenty, and that be has found a sentinel crow, very old and very wise, that can count to twenty-six. He made these discoveries in a very interest- ing way. Last summer he spent much time in the mountains, where a cadet company of boys was camped. One day he found a flock of crows gathered around a dead animal that lay near a little old |hln|‘.¥' in the woods, They flapged away when he approached. So he hid himself in the old shanty and waited, but they would not come back. Then he went out and walked on up the mountain and they all settled down again to the feast. That afternoen be took four boys from the cadet camp with him, and the five marched into the little building and waited. No crows came back. Two of the boys went out. Stiil no crows. Then the otuer two went out and only the natural- ist remained. But the old “sentinel crow had evidently counted them as they went in and he knew they had not all come out. Bo he sat on a dry pine stump and said *‘caw, caw,” quite derisively. At last the naturalist left the building, and straight- way all the crows returned. This expe- ment was repeated a number .of .times with varying nnambers of boys, but the crows kept count and would not come down until the building was entirely emptf. At last a whole platoon of the cadets, twenty-six boys in all, and the naturalist, marched into the old building. Then slowly twenty of them went away. The crows did not stir. Two more, four more, five more went, but the- old sentinel warned his companions that the men had not all gone. Then the twenty-sixth ca- det marched away, leaving only the nat- uralist. In a very few minutes there were a number of hopeful caws and'a flapping of wings and the crows returned. The old sentinel could evidently count tywenty-six, but numbers beyond this puzzled hint. The experiment ‘was tried several times more, and it was_ found that the ¢rows could keep the count up to twenty, hit beyond thgt they were uncertain. :This shows that the crow is a very wiseold - bird.—Chicago Record. . g 5 — s e e ing how little have . been' the. snriacs | cflnnges wrought in agricultural, Wales; that a well-defined Roman road exists to this aay in the very heart of Llangdridod, and, with a few breaks, can be. traced to .: the outskirts of Magos, a couple of miles away. e S e HOTEL ARRIVALS, : RUSS HOUSE.
