PLEASANTON, CarL., Oct. 7.—The sec- ond day’s session found the delegatesup bright and early and the council of the Portuguese Union was called to order an hour sooner than expected. Last evening Habn & Tillman of the Rose Hotel pre- pared a ‘‘card party” and the delegates enjoyed tbemselves until a late hour. This was the eventful day for many of the delegates, as the nomination and elec- tion of new officers took place and to- u(phl the annual banquet was given at the Rose Hotel. Hahn & Tillman, the caterers, had prepared an excellent menu and the affair eclipsed all former efforts of these well-known hosts. The first business this morning was the | reading of the following resolution, which was received with tremendous applause: Be it resolved by the Board of Trustees of the y of Plessanion, in regula on, that zs the Grand Lodge of the e Union gu: of California is now in sessio his town the liberties of the town are hereby extended' to tne said body by this board. at the ordi- | nunce of this town relating to the closing of | places of business in the night is hereby sus- pended and the Town Marshal is hereby au- thorized 10 allow ell plscs of business 0 re- main open, at the discretion of the owners, during the session of =nid grand body.

Frank Lemos | was placed in nomination by J. B. Rosa and seconded by A. Amaral. F.J.Cunha was also p/aced in nomination, but as pre- dicted in this morning's CaiL Frank | Lemos carried off the honor by a vote of 361025. ¥or the office of grand vice-presi- dent A. F. Cunha and A. A. Sarmento contested for the honor, and Cunha carried | away the prize by a vote of 32 to 29. Louis Martin was elected to succeed himself as | grana secretars, A.

For grand guard F. C. Lima of Sacra mento was given the honor without con- test. For grand medical examiner there was 8 lively contest, the contestants being Drs. Betteucourt, Dean and Cabral. The three physicians are all well known and popu- lar, and it merely came to a test of which one of the three had the most friends in the council. Dr. Cabral carried off the honors and was loudly cheered ana called on for a speech. He responded by thank- | ing the council for the honor conferred | and assured the Grand Council that he | would endeavor to fulfiil the duties apper- taining to the office to the best of-his abiity. For grand directors there were seven candidates in the field, with five to be | elected. The successful candidates are: | John Mattos Jr., No. 5; 8. Diav No. 8; J. C. Rodrigues, . 8; Joseph Pimintel, No. 3; A. Fonte, No. 1. | Frank Lemos, the grand president of the | organization, came to the United States eight years ago from his birthpiace, Azores Islands. He attended college in his native home and graduated with high | honors, Hisintention when he arrived in America was to study for the priesthoud in one of the Eastern colleges, but he soon changed his mind, and arriving in lifornia he entered the law offic: of G. 8. Langan at Haywards. Although at that time he could not speak a word of the English language, he became an apt student and soon mastered his ambition, and last year he pa sed a successful ex- amination before the Superior and Su- preme courts and became a full-fledged | attorney. Mr. Langan took him in as partner, and now the law firm of Langan & Lemos enjoy a lucrative practice. Mr. Lemos will make a model presiding officer, and during his administratipn it is predicted the organization will have a Tupid growth. A. F. Cunha, the grand vice-president elect, is a native of the Azores Islands ana came to California thirty years ago, and for the past fifteen yesrs has been a most prominent citizen of Milpitas, where he héas been postmaster and merchant. Mr, Cunha is a young man in appearance and the happy father of nine children, a ma- jority of whom some day he expects to make members of the Portu:uese Union. The committee on jurisprudence made | an interesting report to the council this afternoon. At the time that Council No. 1 of San Leandro was organized they bought alot in that town for $2000 and erected a building on =aid lot costing $8000. The building and lot were in the name of the U. P. E. C., and Council No. 1 asked the SBupreme Council for a deed to same. Same was granted on favorable re- port of committee. The by-laws of Council No. 15 of 8an Francisco and No. 11 of Sacramento were reported on_favorably by the committee on laws and supervision, as they do not conflict with the cohstitution of the Su- preme Council. The committee appoinied to send a letter of thanks to tbe president of the board of trusteesof the town of Pleasan- ton, for the courtesy in extending the freedom of the town, reported they had complied with the request of the council. The council then adjourned until 7 p. M.

BERKELEY, CaL., Oct. 7.—The Science Association of the University of California held its general meeting last evening, when W. J. V. Osterhout of the depart- ment of botany delivered a lecture on OLE C. VINCENT. sioner Fitzgerald as special agent ever since the establishment of the commis- sion. He was formerly employed by Wil- liam J. Dingee of Oakland in the real es- tate business and is a member of one of the oldest and at one time one of the weulthiest families in Oakland. For the past year Vincent has been living on Tele- graph avenue near Dwight way. Berkeley. His appointment marks the culmina- tion of a long fierce struggle between half a dozen or more aspirants for the position. The fight began last April when Post- muster McCarthy’s term of office expired. It was confidently expected that he would be promptly deposed, having been ap- pointed under a Republican administra- tion, and as a consequence candidates for his position rose up on all sides. Seven men entered the race at the out- set, but only three stayed with it until the end. These three men were Dan Land- regan, Deputy Marshal Kerns and Ole Vincent. Congressman Enelish was said fo have had almost complete if not:the entire, control of the appointment. Various ap- peals were made through him, but the would-be postmasters were not satisfied with working through this channel alone, 80 they beuan a series of appeals and peti- tions to Washington. These only caused the appointment to be delayed still longer. A close watch has been kept on the Presiaent’s postoffice appointments by the gsoplu of Berkeley for the past six months, ut nothing of a definiie character was heard antil to-day. Bince the appointment of John McCar- thy in 1892 the growth of the postal busi- nessin Berkeley has been remarkable. A free-delivery system has been inaugu- rated, a substation at Dwicht way has been set up, a stamp agency at North Berkeley has been established, the office has been transformed from one of the third clase to that of the second and a special building has been set aside for its use.

Patents Have Expired and the Com- pany Has Now No Reason for Existence. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO C.u.x.,} 908 Broadway, Oct. 7. The day has passed when che influential Bargion Compound Rail Company should have held its annual meeting and no no- tice has been sent out to the stockholders. Nor will any bs sent, for the.company, in which every prominent merchant and capitalist in this county expected to make buge fortunes, has passed out of exist- ence. With its death die the hopes of all who once tumbled over each other in their ef- forts to subscribe for stock. The Bargion company was organized in 1890, L. W. Kennedy and Peter Bargion, the inventor, being the principal backers. Bargion agreed to put in his patents and Kennedy was to promote the scheme. The company was organized with 100,000 shares, at $10 a share par vaiue. Kennedy and Bargion were to keep 25,000 shares each znd the remaining 50,000 shares were to pe disposed of, 50 cents to be paid on each share of stock orizinally subscribed. The scheme met with the approval and backing of solia men. Luther Fillmore beaded the list, then came A. D, Wilder, J. C. Martin, J. T. Crothers and 8. T. Gage, all of the Southern Pacific Company. A. T. Hatch, A. A. Moore, F. K. Shattuck, W. 8. Palmer, Timothy Guy Phelps, J. W. Shanklin, A. D. Starr,V. D. Moody and men of equal weight also tock stock in thecon- cern and certainly no scheme ever started with fairer prospects than the Bargion Kail Company. ‘When the time came to attempt to have the rails made according to patents, there was & big disappointment. L. W. Ken- nedy was sent East to induce some com- pany to manufacture the new rail, and a 5-cent assessment was levied to pay the expense. Kennedy secured an offer, but the company refused to accept it. Then J. E. Morriss was sent East to try and do better than Mr. Kennedy. He found that Bargion bad made an attempi some years before to place the rail on the market, and that the effort had failed be- cause of the great expense that its manu- facture would entail. He learned that the patents had only six years to run from the date of the incorporation of the company, and Eastern’ companies would not take hold of it because of the short life of the patents. “The patents have all expired,” said Secretary J. E. Morriss to-day, ‘‘and the company has gone out of exisience, There has been no annaal meeting called be- cause there was no business to transact. ‘We own nothing, and so there was no need of calling the stockholders together.’’ Much money has been lost in the ven- ture and some has been made. Those who paid money for their stock will lose all they paid. Kenuedy and Bargion dis- goued of good blocks of their stock and id not lose anything. When the com- pany was organized very few of the stock- holders knew how short was the life of the patents, or that they had been offered and rejected in the East before. MINISTERS A%D POOLS, The Union Has the Racetrack Ordinanc: Under Considera- tion and Wiil Report. OAELAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Oct. 7. } When the Ministerial Association holds its next meeting the committee appointed to report on the -pool-selling ordinance will have more interesting things to say. The ordinance passed afew weeks ago permitting the selling of pools within racetrack inclosures only is the measure under consideration by the ministers, The ordinance was read twice at the same meeting of the Supervisors under the sus- pension of the rules and passed to print. It forbids the opening of poolrooms or betting- places anywhere in the county ex- cept at the racetrack, and imposes a li- cense’of t&o per quarter-on the proprietor of a tra It is given out that an attempt will be made to get the Supervisors to rescind selling of pools in any public place. In less than a month three Supervisors will be elected and these consiitute a working majority of the board. which has but tive members. An endeavor will be made to secure from the candidates a piedge to pass an ordinance prohibiting all pool gelling in the county. P Should the ministers carry out thisidea and receive the suppori of the Christian Endeavorers it will greatly complicate the situation of the Supervisorial candidates. Two of the Republican candidates, John Mitchell and J. C. Jarvis, are members of the Christian Endeavor body, but no candidates have as yet announced them- selves on the question that is now under consideration by the Ministerial Union. The committee will report next Monday. ——— There are now more than 50,000 miles of ocean cable, TWO SECTS IN -~ ARNUAL SESSION Baptists to Carry the Liquor Question to the Legis- lature.

OAKLAND OFFIcE S8AN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadaway, Oct. 7. The second day’s session of the Certral Baptist Association was devoted to routine work, but much of interest took place. The day was begun with a Bible study at 9:15 led by the Rev. J. C. Baker, and was foilowed with an address on ‘‘Good Literature,” by the Rev. H. L. Dietz. He advocated the reading of the Bible, re- hgious papers, biographies and historical works in preference to the present day trash as he called it. | The Rev. J. M. Bushnell and Rev. D. E. Unungs of the English Lutheran Church being present were introduced to the association. The latter is a mission- ary and by request he told of his work among the Hindoo missions. The Rev. George E. Duncan discussed “Temperance and the Sabbath,” and charged that Christian people, as a rule, did not give the temperance subject the importance it deserved. The Rev. B. F." Hudleson said the liquor-dealers of the State were preparin to make an effort at the next session o the Legislature to do away with all laws detrimentul to their traffic, and the tem- perance mengand Christians should strive 1o counteract any such efforts. Rev. Lawrence said it’ was not €o muc! a lack of sentiment as it was a division to methods, while the enemy presented a united front. - The report on the work among the Chi- nese was made by the Rev. W. H. Latou- rette. He told of the work and said it was very encouraging. As to the field in which work was to be done he said every eighteentn man in the State wasa Chi- nese. Two-thirds of the Chinese on the Pucific Coast were in Central and North- ern Califoria. There are in San Fran- cisco about 20,000 Chinese, of which 1700 arechildren. Dr. Alda Thompson qf San Francisco, who has been connected with the Chinese work for a number of years, told of the many difficuities which had to be con- tended against and how one of her mission scholars had asked if a part of heaven was to be fenced off for them in the world to come. BShe urged all Christians to show a more brothefiy feeling to the converted Chinese. The Baptist charch, Reno, Nev., was dismissed from the association at its own request, o that it may become a member of the Pacific Baptist Association. The new church at Waterford, Stanis- laus County, was admitted into the asso- ciation. The committee on place and preachers reported in favor of holding the next ses- sion of the association with the Emman- uel Church, San Francisco, and the Rev. G. W. Swift was selected to preach the an- ‘nual sermon, with the Rev. M. P. boyn- ton asalternate, They recommended that tne Rev. C. H. Hobart preach the doc- trinal sermon, with J. F. Moody as alter- nate. The report was adopted. The committee on digest of letters re- orted churches in fairly good condition, Eut no special services. M:ission work un- der a number of churches flourishing. Times generally reported hard, but finan- cial condition of most of the churches good. The total membership of the twen- ty churches is 3244, and the average at- tendance of their Sunday-school is 2447. One of the most interesting characters in attendance is Ueacon E. R. Stockwell of Stockton. He is past 81a.d isas active as many much younger. He was ordained as deacon in 1838 and has been a delegate to every annual session of the association since 1856, this making his fortieth con- secutive meeting. He hasa married finnd- daughter residing here who has two lovely children, of whom he is very fond. The evening session was devoted to a “yictory” meeting. There were addresses by Rey. 8. V. Keetchon **Victory Through the Word,” President T. G. Brownson on “Viciory Through Prayer” and the Rev. C. H. Hobart on *“Viotory Through Per- sonal Effort.”” The programme of the last day of the association will begin at 9 o'clock with a Bible study, after which the following will be carried out: Reports on Home Mission Society and State missions; addresses (1} Rev.

Henry Bower Leaves Alameda to Get a Few Days’ Sieep—Schu- machers’ Divorce. ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 7.—A personal encounter between Editor E. L. Marshall of the Telecram and City Veterinary Dr. Thomas Carpenter, attracted considerable attention on Park street this afternoon. Twelve or more heavy blows were struck by the participants before Police Officer Welch interfered. Four months ago an article appeared in the Telegram reflecting on Carpenter, which the doctor resented. He'toid Mar- shall what he thought of him, but no blows were stragk. Last week Marshall began printing aicles refiecting upon the doe- tor's medical qualifications ina joking way. To-day they met, and trouble en- sued. The encounter, as seen by P. E. Vandour, is related thus: **As they neared one another Dr. Car- penter stared Marshall in the face and hissed, ‘Dirty cur.' Marshall struck out quickly with his nghc hand, catching Carpenter on the leit jaw, near the ear. Carpenter had both hands bandaged as a result of a recent bicycle tumble. He used them to good advantage, and after two or more blows each Marshall either fell or slipped. While he was partially down Carpenter hammered him in the face four or five terrific blows. Marshall then got up and again attacked Carpenter. OfficerWelch separated them and Marshall went home. “Dr. Carpenter was no match for Mar- shall in such o condition, but I think honors are even. He punished Marshail enough when he was down to make up for what he received himself. Marshall’s lip was bleeding and his eye blackened.” Carpenter was on the street shortly after the affair, and laughingly offered to put up $20 for another bout. To-night Mr. Marshall said: “AllI want to say is that I considered that ! was insulted and re- sented it, as any man should. That is all there is to it.” Officer Welch swore to a complaint late w-niihn and had both Carpenter and Marshal arrested. They were released upon giving batl. Gone for a Sleep. ALAMEDA, CAL., Oct. 7.—The ‘*‘lecture and dramatic entertainment on Hawaiian life” advertised to take place in the Opera- house is indefinitely postponed and the promoter, Henry Brower, locally known as “‘red gloves,” isnot around his usual haunts. He said he could not get his troupe together as an excuse for canceling his date at the Opera-house, and left the Park Hotel, where be had been staying, saying that the bells annoyed him so he could not sleep; he would go to San Leandro and sleep a few days, since which he has not been seen. He was known by his persistently wear- ing red gloves, a white vest and straw hat in all kinds of weather. ‘Willing to Be Divorced. ALAMEDA, CaL., Oct. 7.—In the suit of Anna Schumacher against Gottleib Shu- macher for a divorce, the latter filed an answer to-day denying his property is worth the sums set forth in her complaint and declares it was mostly his property before marriage and concludes in the fol- lowing language: *That the unholy bands of wedlock between plaintiff and defendant be severed that he may end his few remaining days on earth in peace and quiet-and that the community property be divided as this court shall deem just and proper.” % For Charity’s Sake.

OAKLAND, CaL, Oct. 7. — Miss Ella Emerson, a 13-year-old girl living at the house of Mr. and Mrs. ¥.J. White, tells of a bold utemgt at_robbery made last Monday night while she she was alone at her home with the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. White. The latter were in 8an Francisco at the time and shaz had retired for the night.

The Metal Resting Place of the Bird Turns Up After a Lapse of Gederations. The strangest find of its kind on record was made Tuesday by John Coyne, a tinsmith who has kept a shop on lower Clay street for the past thirty years. Coyne is somewhat of a character in his vay, and his snug litt'e shop is well known for the many curios that: he keeps there in the way of animals, birds, and, above all, strange and beautiful shells tiat he imports from all parts of the world. Twenty-five years ago Coyne had a beautifal little canary that he called Shaughraun and of which he was ex- traordinarily fond. A sorrowful day came, however, when Shaughraun went the way of all canaries and Coyne was disconsolate. The bird bad been so much of a com- panion to him and had found so much of a place in his heart that he decidea not to bury it, but to preserve the body. All of his ingenuity as a metal worker was brought into play and within a day Shauguraun’s body was inclosed in a tiny metal case, handsomely ornamented with the name of tbe deceased songster and hermetically sealed. Before closing the box the bird’s body was treated with an embalming preparation and wrapped in woolen cloths. As time wore on the bird’s memory rew less green in Covne's mind, and he nally lost sight of the box. Yesterday, when aiter the h?se of & quarter of a century he was looking over a lot of curios that had been stored away, he came across a little metal box covered with rust and dust but still familiar to his eye. On one side, almost obliterated by the rust, was the word, “Shaughraun,’ and Coyne had found his pet once more. Tears came into the old man’s eyes as he remembered the days when the Lt le songster piped blithly on hisfin.ers and he cleaned up the box with theintention of giving it an honored place among his treasures. Curiosity, however, finally prompted him to open the box, and after the cloths were removed, there lay the body of little Shaughraun, as yellow und perfect as when it was laid away. After showing the bird to his friends, some of whom had grown old and gray since it died, Coyne resealed the box and will keep it as one of his most valaed possessions. U PASTOR WELCOMED. Reception at Grace Methodist Eplscopal Church to the Rev. J. N, Beard. There was nothing set and formal in last night’s reception accorded by Grace Meth- odist Episcopal Church to its new paster, the Rev. J. N. Beard. The church parlors were embowered in fragrant blossoms. The exercises began with the regular mid week prayer-meeting, The new pastor presided. W. W. Wiester of the official board of the church then took the stand and in a few cordial words welcomed Mr. Beard to his new field in the name of the church, its members and all the societies con- nested with it. Little Blanche Head made a nice address, which the pastor himself had to applaud, though it praised him, for it was delivere in so-winsome a fashion that its sincerity could not be doubted. When she had con- cluded, the little lady offered the pastor a bunch of fragrant roses. Mr. Beard, in a short reply, thanked the congregation most cordially for its greet~ ing, and expressed the hope that his come ing might prove of spiritual benefit to the church and himself, The church members then gathered about their new spiritual gui le, and durng the hour of pleasant converse which en- sued Mr. Beard was made to realize that among his flock he would truly be “at home.” : —_——— It is claimed that during thelast twenty- five years but one person for every 3,500, 000 carried by the railroads of Denmark has been killed.
