THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1896. __—_—___—_.__—__—————_-————___—-—-———-——-———————_—__————— ASSESSOR SIEBE WINS A VICTORY Supreme Court Decision Was Handed Down Yesterday. He Was Not Amenable Under the Penal Laws of the State. PEREMPTORY WRIT ISSUED. Final Phase of Preceedings in the Market-Street Railway Ase sessment Case. ceedings institutea by Andrew e against Assessor Siebe in con- nection with the assessment of the Mar- ket-street Railway Company’s property ! were brought to an end yesterday, when the Supreme Court rendered its decision. Assessor Siebe appeared in the Superior Court May 18 last and asked the court through counsel not to hear oractupon the accusation made by Clunie, and aiso acked that the case be dismissed, denying the jurisdictioa of the court. The court denied this and set the matter down for hearing on the next day, and on May 19 en elternative writ of prohibition was issued, airecting that cause should be | shown why further proceedings upon the accusation should not be dropped. The case went up then to the Supreme Court, which has just decided that a peremptory | writ shall be issued. The accusation against Assessor Siebe was that he assessed the property of the Market-street Railway Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1895, at $3,883,- 866, while it was actually worth, accord- ing to the allegations made, $17,500,000, and that Siebe, *‘for the purpose and with the design of enabling said Market-street Railway Company to evade taxation for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1895, upon fuil cash value of said property, willfully and knowingly failed and neglected to, and did not, assess the property of the said Market-sireet Railway Company, for the purpose of taxation for said fiscal year, at the full cash value,” ete.”” The finding of the court is as follows: Section 772 of the Penal Code authorizes the 772 eriour Court to entertsin an accusation I offic hin ii§ jurisdiction, charging him having collected iliegal fees, or having used or negiected to perform the official aining to his o narges the offic: ficial duty in respect to one or ot of these particulars, the court has no jurisdic- o n the mattler. e present case the petitioner was not 4 of having neglected or refused to the property of the Market-street Rail- mpany, for it is alleged in the accusa- ment was made “for the purpose of and with ign of enabling said Market-street Rail- Company to evade taxation for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1895.” If the assessment was made with such pur- ose it was not a “refusal or neglect” to per- jorm his official duties, but a “willful and corrupt misconduct in office,” for which he 2t have been prosecuted by the Grand Jury r the provisions of section 758 of the nal Code. If, on the other hand, the assess- ment was made without any corrupt or iliegal motive, his act was of & judicial nature for he is not amenaole {o the penal laws of the State. It is ordered thst a peremptory writ issue as preyed for. HER LIE FOR THE POOR Another Holy Woman Joins the Order of the Good Shepherd. Impressive S:rvices at the Old Ladies Home—The Bishop of California on Woman’s Work. The chapel of the Old Ladies’ Home, Golden Gate avenue, was yesterday morn- ing the sceme of a very infrequent and solemn service in the Episcopal church. The Bishop of California, assisted by Revs. E. J. Lion of St. Stephen’s chureh, J. A. Emery and Henry B. Monges, of the Church of the Advent, and W. L Kip Jr. | of the Missionof the Good Samaritan, offi- ciated before a congregaiion composed en- tirely of ladies who are deeply interested in the Order of the Good Shepnerd, a body of women who have resizned all earthly interests to devote their lives to works of | charity and beneficence. The Order of the Good Shepherd is local to the coast and now consists of five sis- ters, including Sister Anna of the Maria | Kip Orphanage, Sister Alice of the Old | Ladies’ Home, Sister Julia, whose life is cevoted to the care of the fallen, Bister Mary, whose work is general, and Sister Cora, who was admitted into full fellow- sliip, whose mission 1s connected with the Cburch of the Advent. The ceremonies 1ncluded the reception of Miss Williams as an associate sister and the advancement of Sister Cora in the Order of the Good Shepherd. The excel- Jent choir of 8t. Stephen’s furnished the music. The service was eucharistic entirely, during which the new associate sister was received into the order, after taking upon hersell the prescribed vows. The sermon was preached by the Bishop from the text, *‘Let your lizht so shine %efore men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.' The Bishop extolled ibe work of women in the church and dwelt upon the bis- | torical fact that sister. oods were coexist- ent with the foundations of Christianity. ‘Without the help of women the ministry of the church is incomplete. If the world 1s to be converted the help Gf women 13 necessary. The speaker enlarged upon tne good work of the Order of the Good BShepherd in his diocese and was thankinl tihat be had such an adjunct to assist him in his manifold duties. The sermon concluded, the new sister approached the altar and was addressed by the Bishop, who warned her of the privations and difficulties that she must encounter in her work, of the ingratitude and discouragement which would at times be her lot, and exhorted her to maintain true courage and to be sure that the crown of righteousness which had been promisea {o the faithful would be her ultimate reward. After the address the new sister took upon herself the vows of the order and was admitted into full fellowship. The coneecratiou of the elements foliowed and after the benediction the solemn and im- pressive ceremonies were concluded., The annual meeting of the sisters and associates of the o!‘Ser was held directly after the services and the old officers were re-elecred. ———— The ““Black Diamond’’ Free.

MUSIC AND MONEY. Success{ul Promenade Concert Given at the Mechanics’ Pavilion Last Evening. Money galore will be poured into the coffers of the German Hospital—the pro- ceeds of the garden promenade concert given by the iadies of ithe German benevo- nt societies last evening. i The Mechanics’ Paviiion was crowded | i by the representative Germans of the City, | who, as is tueir wont, came out in force to | } help along the work of benevolence. i | The hall was gay with the German and | American flags, most -tastefully inter- | twined with foiiage and strung with | lanterns of various colors, and young | ladies in dzinty muslins tripped about | serving beer and ices to tle crowds seated at small tables. The music Wwas unexceptionable, Schubert’s serenade being most enthu- | siastically received, the throng listening | with that attention and sporeciation | | peculiar to the music-loving German. { It is estimated that over 30C0 passed | through the doors and in consequence the | treasurer and the busy directors wereguite | radiant. Socially the affair bad much the ar | pearance of a reception. Groups of people | stood chatting about or strolled siowly | | along by the tree-lined walls. Many sat | all evening on both sides of the stand, | while otners spent their time at the tables | | cosily placed behind the verdant screens. | te James D. Phelan was among the crowd | | of promenaders, while other candidates for | | office stood around the music-stand to | | greet their friends. | This evening a similar concert wiil be‘ | given and_the managers are hoping to re- | peatlast night’s suecess musicaliy, socially and best of all, financially. The pro-| gramme will be an entirely new one. ISSION DEFENSE CLUB The Warm-Beit Residents Want 1 a Larger Municipal Rep- | resentation, | Daniel Webster Kelly Coavinces the | Members That They Have Bzen | N:glected | i The Mission Defense Club, having { quieted the Noe heirs’ ciaim to one-half of its territory, is now laying claim to a large representation of the warm-belt citizens in the municipal Government. At a meeting last mght John Bolger oc- cupied the chair, in the absence of the president. George Welcome kept the rec- ord because Mr. Van Duzer was else- where. Daniel Webster Kelly produced a chart | of the Mission showing the voting strength | of that section, known on the consolida- | tion charter as the Eleventh ward, where there are 9131 legal voters, and yet these | American citizens are only entitled to one solitary Supervisor; whereas, Mr. Kelly claims, they should bhave six, that |is, in comparison with the number of i residents in the six first wards of the City. | President Bolger partly satisfied Mr. i Kelly by informing him that when the new charter is adopted the people in the | sun belt will be amply represented in the | councils of the City's government. { Kelly read from his memorandum-book | the following passage: s | In 1864 the ends of the City were North { Beach and South Park; the City was buiit up | to about Taylor street, and in going to the Mission, after passing Sixth street, there was no settlement untii Twelfth street was reached. There were then six boats a day tn : Oakland and steam-dummy cars on the Mar- ket-street Railrond to the Wiilows every half bour. The Western Addition was a wilder- ness, Bush street, the road to Lone Mountain, being the oniy thoroughiare, There were three sieamers & month to New York, via Panama, and 1o steam commuuics- tion with China, Japan, Australia or Honolulu, The theaters were the Metropoli and Maguire's, and the gardens were the Willows and Hayes Park. Woodward’s Gardens were not known in ihose days, and the Golden Gate { Park did not even exist on paper. The only ! railroad out of the City was the San Franecizco { and San Jose Railroad, which ran but two pas- i senger trains a day. i Presilent Bolger and the members of | the Mission Defense Club appear to be fully ! satisfied, and all agreed to vote for tie new charter. SICRED HEART B Pleasant and Lively Scenes in the Gough-Street Armory Hall Captain Nellie B. Walters Puts Her Pretty Soléiers Through Fancy Figures. The fair for the benefit of the Sacred Heart Church, now being beld in the armory on the corner of Page and Goungh streets, loses none of its interesting features as it drawsto a close. It was opened on the 1st of Octover and will not end until next Tuesday night. Father Flood, J. C. Nea- lon, the manager, and ex-Judge Cooney have been kept very busy looking afier the details, and they state that from all appearances the fair will be a financial success. That it is a social success there is no question. Any one looking in upon the merry gathering last evening would at once have passed an affirmative verdict upon this point. The large armory bail was packed to the door with old and young. It wasa merry scene. On_ Tuesday evening all articles upon which tickets bave been issned will be drawn for, and all left over will be sold on the spot at anction. The entertainment last evening was very interesting, and consisted of vocal and instrumental selections. A very pleasing feature was an exhibition driil by the Young Ladies’ Dr¥il Corps, under the | leadership of Captain Nellie B. Walters. The sixteen young ladies composing the corps were put through & number of fanc; figures, which did great credit to their training. Their uniforms were neat and strikine. The costume consisted of a black skirt, black jacket, yellow waist, BERKELEY WON BY SNAPPY PLAY Olympics Defeated in a Brilliant Football Match. | Surprising Improvement in Game and Condition of the Col- lege Men. SCORE TWENTY-FOUR TO EIGHT Ransome’s Great Individual Piaying a Feature and Hall’'s Work Good. Every partisan of the University of California that attended the football | match at Central Park yesterday after- | noon went away supremely satisfied with the showing made by the Berkeley team. The vlay of the college men was a surprise to all, and the Olympics were as disap- pointed as they were surprised, Berkeley for several bad fumbles, which tcg ther with those made by Kennedy, the guarter- back, constituted the only very noticeable weaknésses in the excelient general play of the college men. With the exception of little Hopper, the crack end, who starred in the efuna with Reliance, Berkeley un- doubtedly exhibited in yesterday’s game the utra%est players she has. Olympie, with nominally the same men that' plaged even with Stanford on the Saturday before, was not zpparently so strong 2s before. McCormack, the naval officer, was not on at end. Smith, in try- ing to play tackle and give up his regular position at guard to a new man, did not seem to have gained what he attempted while Harrelson and Kington again and again failed of smooth connections in pass- iong the ball back. On the whole it was a good exhibition of footbail, and there were enouch sudden surprises and radical changes in the posi- tion of the teams with respect to goal to keep the spectators keenly alert. Just how the ball traversed the field and the accompanying ehart. Posttion. Berkeley. Olymple. Stowhen Castlehun. Hutchinson. Captain Ransome.

BERkELEY THE GAME It 1s Ransome’s kickoff for Berkeley from the cen- by whom it was carried may be seen in ter of the field down to Olymplc’s twenty-yard line, where the ball is_caught and carried back by Har- relson of Olympic to the thirty-five-yard line before he Is downed. From tnat point all the succeeding movements of the ball are exactly indicated, and may be followed by the aid of this explanation of sigas: A wavy line indicates where the bail is kicked: & straight line where it is carried; a cross where it Is down with Olympic in possession; a dotted line where It Is fumbled; a large dot where it is down with Berkeley 1n possession; short parallel lines where the man with the ball Is forced back or tackied back of thie rush line: a scailoped line at the end of & wavy line, where the dall bounds after a kick; & broken line where it Is moved as a penalty for a foul. The initial of the piayer carrying or punting the ball is on the Iine of its progress, and that of the one making the tackle or downing the ball appears immediately opposite some of the downs where a notable play occurs. R. stands for Ransome of Rerkeley, Ha. for Harrelson of Olympic, S. for Stick- ney of Olympic, P. for Pedler of Olymplc, W. for W eldon of Oiympie, Sh. for Sherman of Berkeley, H. for Hall of Berkeley, K. for Kennedy of Berkeley, £m. for Smith of Olymplc, N. for Nolan of Olympic. M. for Morse of Olympic, Sy. for Sheehy of Olympic. won the contest, with the score 24 to 8 at the end of the game. The Berkeley team had been practically run over and whitewashed by Reliance just two weeks before the first match game of the season. Then the Stanford team had met the Olympics in a maich characterized by remarkably even, steady, though slow piaying, without scoring be- ing done by either side. Those that bad observed and tried to compare the play oi the four teams in these first contests con- sidered Olympic and Reliance pretty well matched, with Olympic perhaps a slight favorite. The relative position of the two college teams did not seem difficult to determine. Then the Berkeley team, however, after only two weeksof Butterworth’s coaching, appears again and puts up_a snappy, lively punting game, well calculated to make amends for what was believed tobe a rush line of generally mediccre material. It was the rapidity with which the Berkeley men played, aided slways by their captain’s exceptional ability as a ground-gainer and punter, that made them the victors in yesterday’s game. They relied upon their trained quickness in rushing at an improperly guarded point or in rounding a tackle for an end run. They made few attempts to assail yellow sash and black cap trimmed in yellow. Each lady was armed with a small saber, As the fair draws to a close the saber contest becomes more interesting. -The same may be said of the contest in which the most popular young lady will be the recipient of a beautitul gold watch. The total vote for the most popular League of the Cross Cadet captain was 4519, of which Captain James McBride re- ceived 1617 and won tbe handsome saber. —_—— Nieto and Yorke to Speak. Rev.

The Olympics made their game prinei- f.uy by bucking the line, which accounts or iheir uniformity in distance covered. On the other hand Berkeley varied the exhibition occasionally by long runs, some of which were forced by circumstances, but in none of which Ransowme failed to take advantage of all that the opportunity offered. Ransome was the star of the day, as may be seen by reference to the dia- gram of the game, which will show that he was personaliy respomsible for over thirty of the Berl plays and carried the ball for a total of about 175 yards in gains, not including over a dozen punts, u";ia touchdowns and four goals to his credit. = 3 Next to the Berkeley n was Hall in proving himself a val g nd gais .

Scavenger Wagon and an Electric-Car Clash—Many Passengers Badly Frightened. An electric-car accident, in which sev- eral persons narrowly escaped serious in- jury, and which causea considerable damage to the car and a scavenger wagon, occurred at the corner of Fourth and Fol- som streets last eveninp. Car 552 of the Eillis-street line, on its way to the Soutn- ern Pacific railroad depot, Third and Townsend streets, was running at quite a rapid rate when the accident occurred. The car reached Folsom street, and after slowing up in orcer to prevent a collision with a Folsom-street car, which was pass- mg at the time, started across the street. nico Vinuenza, driving a scaven- ger wagon, thinkiug that all was clear, also started across Fourth street. Owing to the fact that the Folsom-street car Kluflllnlronto! car 552 be failed to see is danger, and the same excuse can be oflaretd for the motorman of the Ellis- stree nger carrier. In all events, they started i‘euur and in an instant the crash came. The heavy wagon, which was struck by the car, bumped and smashed over the cobbles. The front of the ear was badly damaged and the glass in the windows crashed in on m ssengers.

McGuigan Yin the Mission. A Stranger With a Bulldog Revolver Enfers His Barroom. HE GAZEs INTO ITS MUZZLE Two Young Men, Unseen by the Rob- b-r, Make Their Appearance and He Disappears. 1. McGuigan, a grocer at Seventeenth and Banchez streets, is congratulating himself upon his escape from what he has every reason to beligve was a deliberate attempt to rob him and perbaps murder him. Thursday night between 10 and 11 his bar, in the rear of the grocery, when a | young man walked through the grocery, which faces Seventeenth street, and en- tered the barroom. There was no one in the grocery, and to the stranger there ap- peared to be no one in the barroom except McGuigan. Fortunately for McGuigan two young men were in the barroom, but they were hidden from the view of any one standing | in front of the bar by several barrels of | liquor. 1 The stranger put a 50-cent piece on the counter and sald wto McGuigan, ‘“Let’s bave a drink.” He asked for beer and McGuigan helped himself to whiskyv. Just as he reached ont bis hand to take the 50-cent piece the stranger presented a revolver of the buudog patiern at his head and remarked, “Don’t you touch that on your hife.” McGuigan quickly drew back his hand and gazed with strange interest first at the man and then at the revolver in his hand. The two young men had overheard the conversation and at this moment stepped from behind the barrels of liquor. One walked swiftly to one side of the stranger and the other to his other side. | The stranger did not lose his nerve. | He took in the situation at a glance, but | daid not lower his revolver. McGuigan by this time had recovered his composure and said to the stranger: “You area/ young man and I am sure you wouldn’t | injure a defenseless man. Put down | your revolver and have a drink with me.” The stranger grufly declined McGui- | gan’s invitaiion to have a drink, but lowered his revolver and pui it in his pocket. He picked up the 50-cent piece and was leaving the store when McGuigan said: “Say, who are you, anyhow?” The stranger replied, ‘I'm a homer,” whatever that means, and strode out of the store. McGuigan is satisfied that the man en- tered his store for the purpose of robbery, and if it had not been for the two young men being opportunely in the barroom he would have been held up and probably murdered. He says the man was a stranger in the neighborhood. He was beetle-browed, tall and slim, about 21 years of age, ot dark complexion and wore a slight dark mustache. McGuigan gave a description of the man to the police at the Seventeenth-street poiice station and a sharp lookout is being kept for him.
