He Has Floated n Big Syndicate and Will Revive His Ferry Project. OAKLAND, CaL., Sept. 28.—Frank M. $mith of Bast Oakland, whose name is in- separably connected with borax, returned | home this evening with his family, and will spend the winter in his new palatial | house on Fourth avenue. i While in Europe Mr. Smith Bas‘floated | ridge, and made farth a borax syndicate at Liverpool. He re- tains the controlling interest. Mr, Smith is also the head and controlling party in several street-railroad systems in this city, and several changes in their management will shortly be ‘made. - It is reported:that | they will all be placed under one geheral management and that there will be a new system of details introduced. The Jocal realty syndicate of which Mi. 8mith is in cont¥ol, and which has been bonding hun- dreds of acres of land in the vicinity of Emeryville, where Mr. Smith recently built a very substantial pier a mile long, will at once take in the railroad systems, and when the result of the elections is made known the prniect for 1unning ferry- boats from Emeryville- to Market sireet, San Francisco, will be taken up. This has been a favorite idea with Mr. Smith for three years, but was set aside when the money market became so unsettled about & year ago. Mr. Smith was met at the depot by some of the directors of the syndicate and drove at once to his home, e would only say that he had several new plans in view and that be could not tell nninhin% about them till he had time to look into the resent condition of the properties under Eis control. Dr. Pardee’s Wil OAKLAND, Car., Sept. 28.—The will of the late Dr. E. H. Pardee will be filed for | probate to-morrow. There are three heirs | ‘MRS. E. W. EVANS, the Only Child of the Late John H. O’Brien, | Who Married Against Her Parents” Will, and Whose Share of Her" Father’s Estate. Is Dependent Entirely Upon Her Mother's. Will. - only daughter Mvrah, and read: “F pur- - posely-omit leaving her any-property. I know ber mother.wiil provide for her.” " The sécret of this little clauss dates .back to the “early spring of thig year, ‘wheh without her parents’ consent Miss - Myrab, then just a little older than 18, secrotly married. Little'was said about | the affair at'the time,’and even now the | jact that the attractive and only daughter | of the. /ate popular merchantis Mrs. B. ‘W. Evans is not very generally known. Mr. O'Brien died rather suddenly about 1wo weeks ago and left a fine esiate valued - at about $100,000. The quiet wedding at Lqs Angeles last --.~spring had.a toudh of romance about it. '.}fiu O"Brien and K. W. Evans had been acquainted for over a year. Evan$ was a bookkeeper in Oakland, and aithough the | {riendship between the young couple was known to the parents the latter would not | give their consent till their daughter wasa | vear older. Affairs were in this state when | the: O'Brien family went to Los Angeles | Jast February. Evarsaccompanied them | and was desirous of making his permanent home in the southern city. Althoughan | .engagement existed between the young | folke it had not reached a point where the | scruples of the parents could be overcome. | “One of,the chief ‘9bjections to the marriage was, it is stated by friends, a difference of refigious belief. hile'Tn Los Angeles the lovers decided that the.time was propitious and they de- cided to await no longer the consent of the | family. They notihied "the O’Briens of | their determination and the parents re- | . iurned to Oakland withoutthem. They were duly wedded on February 19 by a Methodist clergyman ana made their home in Los Angeles. Her parents felt ve! keenly the slighting of their wishes and Mr. ©'Brien said at the time that he . would have consented to their wedding had they agreed én wait a year longer, When Mr. O'Brien died interest was centered on °the provision that he had made for his daughter. Now that the will has been filed it is seen that the late mer- ‘chant left his ddughter's welfare 1n the hands of his widow. - = i An intimate friend of the family said to-day that long before his death tne old merchant was completely reconciled to his daughter. However, he only left her his jewelry, with a remark that he pur- posely omitted meking any distribution of his estate in her favor. 3 ] The Holes In the Canal Bridge.

Muny Now Believe That the Russian Consui’s Estimate Was Very Near the Truth. OARLAND OFFICE EAN FrANCISCO CALL,) 2 908 Broadway, Sept. 28. | Dr. Ambrosewf, the ‘‘physician’’ of this | city, who has claimed to be a Russian | exile and various other interesting per- sonages, has gone on a journey and there son forit. A few months ago Ambrosew gave an interview for publication that the Russian Consul at San Francisco de- nounced as false. The official stated at the time that the *‘doctor”” was not act- | ing in goo6d 4aith. Ambrosew! was always speaking of the fortune that was coming to him from Russia. He recently received some docu- ments, liberally p{ntered with seals, which he said conveyed to him the good tidings that henceforth he was to receive §23,000 every quarter. One night about two years ago he went to the police station with ory that he had been followed in the dark, when he was attacked by a big fellow, but that he fought him off and as he disapveared fired a shot at the fleeing form, but failed to hit the mark. Ambrosew! has gone away, and before he left he told his landiady the following story regarding his affairs: “‘I bave receivéd notice that $23,000, the first quarterly installment of my future’s annual income, has been sent to Portiand, Or., in care of the Russian Consul. I am going there to get it and when I retarn I ah.lllply my bills and once more be abie to hold my head erect. Ihad the money sent to Portland as I did not want the Consul in San Francisco to get the com- mission those officials are entitled to, but would rather a stranger should have it.” He also told his landlady that as his wife was an extravagant woman he had not told her of the money arriving, but told her it was necessary for him to go | prisoner is dise DAKLAND CORPS BEGIN THE WORK Sergeant Brown of the Salvation Army at San Quentin. VOLUNTEERS ARE THERE Great Interest to Both Organizations. ONLY TWO HAVE SECEDED. Next Sunday There Will Probably Be Rival Soul-Winners at the State Prison. OAKLAND OFrIcE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 28. The Oakland corps of the Salvation Army,which is the oldest and largeston the coast, is making a special effort to hoid an enthusiastic meeting at 8an Quentin prison next Sunday. Atthistime Warden Hale's bastile isa point of the greatest interest to both the Balvation Army and the Vol- unteers, of which Mrs. Booth is at the head. Next Bunday it is given out that Sergeant-Major Brown of the Oakland corps will go to San Quentin as usual and that Mrs. Booth will also hold a meeting there. If both carry out their programme they will probably agree on different hours. Sergeant-Major Brown, in conjunction with Adjutant Egner, who was then sta- | tioned_in Oakland, inangurated the work | among the prisoners of San Quentin, and he has never failed to visit every second Sunday since August, 1893, when the work opened. At the present time there are twenty-five men in the Salvation Army corps at San Quentin, and if the Volun- teers follow up the lead of Mrs. Booth, there may soon be a Volunteer corps there .| as well. An impression bas gnlned ground that Mrs. Booth, while a Salvationist, started the work at Ban Quentin. Sergeant-Major Brown, who is still in charge of the work, desires the following statement to be made public: Editor of The Call, San Francisco, Cal.—SIR: ‘Will you kindly give me space 10 contradict an erroneous report which has just gone the rounds of the press? The statement to which I refer, in alluding to Mrs. Maud Booth’s protracted visit to the coast, says: It is her intention to begin her visited that institution & year ago, while still connected with the Salvatfon Army, and estab- lished a large post among the prisoners. Since the rupture in the army the members of the rison post have voted to remain faithful to Birs Booth and to unite with the Volunteers» Thnere is uot a word of truth in the above. Adjutant Eguer and I held the first Salvation Army meeting ever conducted in San Quentin, over three years ago, and the only thing Mrs. Booth ever did toward “establishing a large post among the prisoners” was to speak to them a few minutes dnrmg her recent visit to Califormia. A corps had been formed among the prisoners long before Mrs. Booth's visit. The statement that the members of the &rhun post have voted to remeain faithful to rs. Booth and to unite with the Volunteers | 1s equally misleading. When the “rupture” | occurred we had about twenty-five converts in the prison, and of that number only two | evinced eny desire to join the new movement. The others remained true to the Salvation Army and are very earnest in their declara- tions of loyalty to the organization which has labored so long an! so earnestly in their in- terests. Iem in a position to speek with authority on this subject as I hola meetings in the prison every alternate Sunday. I would like to say that the prison workls thoroughly or?nued in toe City.

OAKLAND, CaL., Sept. 28.—The par- lors of the First Congregational Church were filled to-night for a double purpose. Director Alex T. Stewart, who has built up and presided over the Bunday-school orchestra until it is without an equal on the coast, gave a farewell dinner to the members who have followed his baton for miny years. Mr. Stewart is going to Chieago for a year and may then go to A farewell 1eception was also tendered by the congregation to Revy. S.

Brown, the newly elected pastor from Boston, will assume charge of the pastorate and preach his first sermon. Might Have Been Saved. | OAKLAND, Car., Sept. 28.—An inquest | was b on_the remains of Mrs. Stacy, | who died suddenly Saturday night, and | there is u belief that if some of those who saw her fall on the street had done what Dr. Akerly did later her life might have been saved. The deceased fell on the street, and died in Dr. Akerly’s carriagce from heart failure, Mrs. Stacy was a sister ot Mrs. J. F.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRAXOCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 28. } ‘West Oakland is gossiping to-night over what is supposed to be a double elope- | ment. Miss Rollins and Miss Ulifford, | who live in the neighborhood of Fifth and Chester streets, have suddenly left . their- homes and it is reporfed that they have gone with a couple of young gentlemen from Ban Francisco, whose names are not known to their parents, Their leaving home was reported to the police to-night and a de- tailed description of the girls was sent to San Francisco, where it is believed they have gone. The young ladies are about 17 years of age and so far have enjoyed the very best reputation, and neither has ever given lncr indication of a disposition to be iddy. A week ugo two men from San 'rancisco made the acquaintance of the girls, and they have been in the viclnity of the young ladies’ homes on two oc- casions since. The girls are both of medium height, fair, and tolerably attractive. Their parents are sparing no effort to find them, and will place serious charges against their companions.

They fold up instead :t sliding upon bars, and are a pretty pat- ern., No fares are to be charged for local rid- ing. The cqmsuny does not charge for local riding in Oakland, but all who ride must have a ticket before entering the car, and those who have maintained all the time that there would be no fares to pay will find that they are right, but before en- tering the car they will find it convenient to show a ticket for some place on the line. The conductors admit that the gates are to be put in use this week. ——— Saved by a Dog. OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 28.—A tire broke out in a placksmith’s shop, at Ninth and Webster streets, early this morning.
