f ¥ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEB 21, 1896. 11 SAYS WAS THE CAUSE Wreck of a Large Reservoir Built of Masonry on Vernon Heights. W. J. Dingee Declares It Was Blown Up by an Evil- Minded Person. ADVENTURES WITH A FLOOD. Much Damage Caused by the Rush-{ ing of the Torrent Down the Hillside. OAXKLAND OrricE SAN FEANCISCO C.u.n,} 908 Broadway, Oct. 20. The big reservoir owned by the Oakland Water Company was destroyed this morn- ing. Pre t Dingee believes thatdyna- mite was used to wreck a portion of his plant. Some are of the opinion that the pressure of the volume of water burst out the foundation, but Mr, Dingee denies that such could possibly be. About 6:30 o'clock this morning the res- nts on Vernon Heights were startled an explosion, which they compare to the noise of a thunderclap. About fifty feet froom the reservoir to the north is the residence of Al Wood. Mrs. Wood was aroused by the noise and on looking out of & window she saw a great mass of water rushing toward the house. She called to her hus! d to run for his life, but before they could take any sieps the water was deflected and rushed through the yard, completely wrecking walls and sheds. The brick bulkhead was carried almost bodily to the foot of the hill, although some of the pieces of masoury weighed 400 pounds. Sidewalks were swept away and much damage was done to gardens and houses. The whole 10,000,000 gallons of water were liberated and ten minutes after the ex- plosion the great reservoir was empty. The solid masonry of the reservoir was thrown in all directions and large masses of concrete were found a distance of many yards from the break. Mrs. J. A. Jobnson, at 74 Wedsworth avenue, ich frightened. Her hus- band is connected with the United States survey steamer McArthur, and she was alone in the house with three small child- dren. BShesays she heard a sound like that of a big fire, When she locked from the window she saw s great flood of water rush down upon her house. She gathered her chiidren together and hurried to the front door. When she was on the porch she saw that her house was entirely surrounded by water. She could not escape from the rushing waters, and she feared her house might be beaten down by the floating wooden sidewalks that were carried against the structure by the flood. W. J. Dingee, president of the water company, made an inepection of the wreck, and, after interviewing some of the residents, he said he believed the reservoir had been wrecked by some evil-di-posed person. ‘& pelieve that that wall was blown up and my reasons for so believing are that in the vicinity heard two distinct explosions and besides it was a physical impossibility for that concrete wall two feet thick to give way under the pressure of water that was then upon it,”” said Mr. Dingee. “The water was only two ieet above the surface when the break oc- curred, whereas we have had it clear up to the top, which is seven fect from the surface. This portion of the reservoir has been in use four months and has never shown any signs of weakness. “The lower portion of the reservoir has been in use for a couple of years. A por- tion of this wall near the corner was also destroyed. This was strengthened by wire cables, one and one-half inches in diameter, which were imbedded in the asphalt concrete, of which the walls were composed. These cables ran back thirty or forty feet from the corners. Notwith- standing their size and strength they were broken, and this, I think, is another evi- dence that some explosive was used to cause this big break. “As to who would be guilty of such a dastardly act as this, I would not care to say. Icanonlysurmise. I know that it cannot be any one of the great body of peovle of Oakland who have been bgnefited by the competition of the water com- panies. However, this affair is in keeping with the blowing up of our water-main in East Oukland on July 4 of last year.” WIL KOT WED AOUS The Ardent Lover of Genmeral Beauharnais Sent to Stockton. B She Declares Her Scn-in-Law’s Anxiety to Get Her Property Caused the Trouble. OAx1AND OFFIcE SAN FRANOCISCO CALL, 908 Broad way, Oct. 20. } Mrs. Virginia Coonradt, the widow, who made all necessary arrangements for her wedding with Marquis de Beauharnais at the Girard Hotel last week and invited a number of friends to the affair without having consulted the Marquis, was de- ciared insane by the Lunacy Commission- ers this afternoon. She was ordered con- fined at the Stockton Asylum. —. At the time of her peculiar actions the family decided to have her mental condi- tion inquired into, but she found it out and left before they could detain her. Bhe was arrested at the Hotel Alexander in Ban Francisco yesterday and was brought to the county jail to await the examina- tion. She charges her son-in-law with wanting to put her out of the way so as to secure her property. “The whole trouble,” saia sfle, *is on account of the house I own at Piedmont Heights. Frank Ely wants it, havin, hves there over four years and only puig $60 rent., It was agreed when he moved in he should pay me $12 a month and give me my room and board. I was not going to marry Mr. de Beauharnais, although we love each other dearly. The J)rapnaz(ons at the hotel were not for a wedding, but a party. Ionly said we were to be married 2s a joke.” Robbed of Jewels. OAELAND, OaL., Oct. 20. — A robbery committed last July has been reported to the police and a reward of $100 offered for the recovery of the articles taken. Sus- picion poinied to a member of the house- hold, and to avoid publicity the bead of the house decided to locate the thief, but failed, and at this late date appeals to the police, There is little hope of recovering the articles or catching the thief.

OAKLAND, CaL, Oct. 20. — The new track at the Oakland Trotting Park, as made over by the California Jockey Club, at Emeryville, gives indications of being very fast. It is yet somewhat hard, but the horsemen predict that records will be broken on the opening day next Saturday. A half dozen horses have marked a half mile in 50 seconds, several have made the three-quarters in 1:15 and a number have made the mile in 1:44. Superintendent Allen is taking advan- tage of the postponement of the opening to put the finishing touches on the grand stand, paddock and fences. The field within the track is being lev- eled and seeded with biuegrass. There are twelve starting-gates being crected and distances. The betting-ring and boxes, poolrooms and bookmakers’ rooms are all completed and ready for use Saturday. , A Chalienge to Debate.

Davis and the Populist leader, Green Majors of Ala- | meda. The Republicans would be willing | to put Mr. Davis forward to meet any Democrat or Populist in joint debate. Death of “Stonewall” Jackson, Who Was Eorp in Bal- timore in 1702. A Pioneer of California Who Ran a Colored Employment Bureau. 0axLAND OFricE SaN Francisco CALL,} 908 Broadway, Oct. 20. Moses A. Jackson, an old colored man, known on both sides of the bay as “Stone- Stonewall Jackson, Who Died Yes- terday Aged 104, wall” Jackson, died last night in West Oskland. Old Moses lived 104 years. While there were still a few years left of the last century Moses Jackson was born at Baltimore, Md. He was never a slave, and this fact was often related with great pride by the old negro. He came to Cali- fornia in 1851 and has lived at Sacramento, Marysville and San #'rancisco before com- ing to Oakland. Fora great part of his life he has conducted an employment bu- reau, and for many years he furnished the leading families of the State with their colored help. On his list of patrons was Senator Stan- ford, and ola Moses used to speak in yery familiar terms with the ex-president of the Southern Pacific. Moses married about eighty years ago and has been a widower for nearly hall & centuty. He used tosay that one wife was enough for one lifetime and he ever re- mia‘ined true to the memory of his first wife. ; . Only two weeks' illness preceded his death. Previous to that he was a strong, healthy man, and straight a man of 40. He leaves two sons and two daughters, all of whom are married and have grand- children. ————— Colored Eepublicans.

The Executive Would Haye Met With a Very Cool " Reception. ALL DEMOCRAT3 OUT OF TOWN They Were to Be in Livermore When the State’s Chief Officer Was to Be in Oakland. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIECO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Oct. 20. The harmony that the fusionists of Alameda County prate and dream about is of the same kind that has characterszed the Democratic party for years. It is of the genuine cat-and-dog variety. There is only a plaster partition between the County Committee-rooms of the two parties on Broadway, but there is a wider breach between the feelings of some of the wings of the fusion bird. The latest exhibition of “harmony” is an attempt made by the silver wing of the Democracy to spoil the effect of the parade that will take place next Baturday night in honor of the visit of Governor Budd. Frank J. Moffitt is credited with creating the present trouble, but his friends say it is all a mistake and in a spirit of magnanimity Con Brosnahan, chairman of the Democratic County Cen- tral Committee, said to-night that Mr. Motfitt might not have known that Gov- ernor Budd was to have been in Oakland next Ssturday when making his arrange- ments to take the Populist Zouaves by svecial train to Livermore on the same night to escort G. W. Baker, the railroad | attorney and silver Republican. A few days ago G. W. Buttner, manager of the Zouaves, received a message from the Silver Committee in San Francisco that he was wanted, Buttner went over and met Mr. Moffitt, who was planning for a big silver rally at Livermore next Satur- day night. Manager Buttner was told that the sil- ver people had puat up liberally for uni- forms and expenses and would provide a special train on which the Zouaves could 0 and surpyise the people of Livermore. glr. Buttner approved of the plan and on his return to Oakland he told Chairman Brosnahan of the trip. Then Mr. Brosnahan did some thinking. He knew that Governor Budd was to be in Oakland Saturday night, and that as great a show as possible was desired to con- | vince Mr. Budd that though all the world should desire McKirley and honesty Ala- meda County stili is loyal to the forlorn hope. He knew also that Moffitt hed beeh & very pronounced Murphy man and had no use for Budd. The Populist Zouaves being the most geudy and attractive of all the tusion uni- formed clubs, and its fife corps being quite a power, might it not be possible thas Mr. Moffitt had as usual seen a little ahead of the men with whom he had to deal and had planned that Livermore meeting to spoil the Oakland parade and humiliate Budd? Chairman Brosnahan heartily expressed his disapproval of the Zouave parade at Livermore, and Manager Buttner declared the Livermore projectoff. Mr. Brosnahan also, it is reported, said something about a Populist uniformed club going on a special train to boom a railroad attorney’s lecture on silver. Now it is openly stated that Frank J. Moffitt has graduated from the small arena of Alameda County Democratic, nd a- politics and is now a State politicia: would like to see the Kitzgerald-B; han wing humiliated. The fusionists consider that they have been saved from a very neatly laid trap to spoil their “monster demonstration,” and are congratulating themselves that they were rescued in time, “We are goln; to do Lgrolt things next Saturday night,” said Chairman Brosna- han to-night, *and I don’t intend to lei any one upolf it. Perhaps Mr. Moffitt had forgotten Governcr Budd’s meeting, as he is so busily engaged on the silver com- mittee.” The extent of Mr. Moffitt’s forgetful- ness was iarther reaching than appeared on the surface, for it seems that the gayly uniformed People’s party Zouaves were not the only organization wearing uni- forms upon which he had castlonging eyes. After the expose by the Zouave chief, it was learned that Mr. Moffitt had drawa two other clubs into his Livermore silver-meeting project. Rumor has it that after visiting the silver headquarters in S8an Francisco he returned witha well- tilled sack. Out of this, so the story goes, he took $200, which he handed over to the Young Men’s Democratic Club, it being well understood that the club would turn out in goodly numbers and 1n full uniform. Again the liberal hand of Mr. Motfitt went into the sack, and in a short time 150 was transferred to the Army and Navy ryan Olub, with the same understanding. Since this leaked out, however much trat! there is in the tale, the Populist Zouaves are well pleased that they did not agree to do for “harmony’’ and “loyalty’’ what the other uniform clubs were well paid for. No sooner did the Young Men’s Demo- cratic Club and the Army and Navy Bryan Club learn of the»npw-nt“forg:m)_nm" of Mr. Moffitt, than both organ; ons de- iver- wmore on the railroad’s iree train to Lear | street when "the cart approached, The Reservoir on Vernon Heights That President Dingee Says Was Blown Up With Explosives. the railroad attorney talk about freesilver. As may be expected, this expose of Mr. Moffitt's absent-mindedness has caused a great deal of talk in Oakland Democratic circles, and the end of the talk is not yet reached.

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 20.—Little Jobn McLeod, the 3-year-old son of J. M. Mec- Leod, an expressman of Dwight-way slation, was run over by a sprinkling cart, driven by Frank M. Jones, this afternoon, | and was so seriously injured that he died a few minutes after the occurrence of the accident. 'One of the front wheels of the wagon ran over the little boy’s chest and shoulder, tompletely crushing the bones and lacerating the flesh in a horrible manner. He was immediately carried into his home, which was but a few steps off, and three physicians were summoned, but their efforts to save his life were unavail- ing. 'fhl general op{nion among the eye- witnesses to the tragedy is ibat it was purely accidental. Some think more pre- caution might have been taken on the part of the driver. It seems that the child was playing in the middle of th; an being unaware of the impending danger, ran in front of the wagon between the horses and the iront woeel. The driver says be did not see the little one until it was too late. Jones offered to give himself up to the authorities, but Marshal Lloyd, believing that the case was accidental, allowed the driver to go-on his own recognizance. An inquest will be held at 40’clock to-morrow afternoon. Crescent Club Disbands. BEXKELEY, CAL., Oct. 20.—The Cres- cent Athletic Club has disbanded. At.a meeting of the directors last evening a resolution was passed formally declaring the club to be an institution of the past. The gymnasiam, apparatus and_fixiures were turned over to the West Berkeley Athletic Club. For a long time pasta dissolution has been imminent, because of internal dis- sensiqn and lack of support by its mem- bers. The prize-ring contests which were recently held under the auspices of the club, and the unfavorable comment caused by them through the local pulpits, are also said to have had something to do with the disbanding. The ciub was organized about two and a half years ago, and for about a year and a half it was in a flourishing condition, having at the height of its prosperity about 150 members. It seemed at one time that nothing could weaken the interest taken in the or- ganization, but internal strife arose, mem- it was too much of a close corporation and that the individual members had too little to say regarding the manner in which things should be conducted. When the opportunity arnved to dis- pose of the apparatus at a price which would allow the club to disband free of debt it was taken advantage of and the club passed out of existence.

A BRIDE OF FOUR MONTEHS, Fearful Discovery of William Wah. muth on His Return From San Francisco. ALAMEDA, CaLn.,, Oet. 20. —Mrs, Wil- liam Wahmuth, the young wife of a wealthy young man, was found dead in & room@at her residence at 1218 Broadway to-night under circumstances that leave no doubt as to its being a case of suicide. Mrs. Wahmuth lived in the house with the family of her husband, and there is no reason for her act that can be advanced by any of the relatives, except despond- ency due to ill health. Mr. and Mrs. Wahmuth were married on the 21st of last June and consequently have not yet completed four months of wedded life when the young husband finds himself & widower. During the brief period since their wedding day their life has been one of the greatest happiness. The only thing that troubled Mrs. Wah- muth was her ill health. For many years she has not enjoyed good health and since her marriage it has not improved. This made the young wife somewhat despond- ent, but she never complained, although she frequently expressed a wish that she might be stronger. othing Chltghl! transpired during the past few days led her relatives to suppose that she was feeling any'more despondent or brooding over her troubles any more than usual. This afternoon her husband and the other members of the family went to San Francisco leaving Mrs. Wahmuth in the house alone. ben they took their de- parture she seemed quite cheerful. They returned at7 o’clock to-night and on going into the house found a strong smell of gas. Mrs, Wabmuth could not be found, but the source of the gas seemed tobeina little room which she frequently used. The door was tried, but it had evidently been fastened and force was required to open it, When an entrance was gained Mrs. ‘Wahmuth was found on the lounge in an unconscious condition. Medical aid was summoned and every means possible was resorted to to restore animation but without effect, and late to-night she died without regaining consciousness. There was heart-rending mourning in the beautiful home to-night and the young husband’s grief was almost uncon- trollable. He said that for the past two months his wife’s health had not been so as usual, but she never gave any indication that she contemplated suicide or she would never have been left alone. A Price Upon His Head. ALAMEDA, CAL., Oct. 20.—The County Jail contains a self-confessed exile, who will meet the executioner’s ax should he return to his native heath. A Sam, who is awsiting trial for the assault he made upon Ah Finnin therear of a Chinese laundry at the West end last month, ad- mits that a price has been placed upon his head by the officials of the flowery kingdom as a result of his former life as a pirate. Ah Sam says he is a descendent of the Chinese nobility, but that he was made the black sheep of the family. As he is positively identified by Ah Finn as his assailant, Ah S8am does not have a very bright future to look forward to. A New Paper. ALAMEDA, CAL., Oct. 20.—Among the possibilities of the near future is another. first-class newspaper for this city. An op- tion upon a double-cylinder perfecting gzesl and stereotyping outfit has already en taken by persons who are now look- ing for a suitable type-setting machine. Nothing definite as to its policy or man- agement could be gained from those act- ing in the matter until sometbhing more had been accomplished. Editor Daniells of the Argus said in re- gard to affairs generally: ‘If some one with money and experience would start a morning paper here it would be a good thing. Iam sure they would be well sup~ ported and make money out of it.”’ Encinal City Notes.

The Catholic fair in the First Regiment Armory has been a grand success.: Its purpose was to raise money for the new Bacred Heart Church that is to be erected on the corner of Fillmore and Fell streets. The fair opened on the 1st inst. and closed last evening, It has been under the management of Father Flood, M. Cooney, Dr. Thomas Bodkin and J. O. Nealon. The management expect to clear $10,000 over and above all expenses, a very neat sum to help make up the $70,000 that the church will cost. Every one who has had anything to do with the festival has spared no pains to make it a success. mong these the ladies of the icecream booth—Miss Annie O’'Brien, Miss Dora Moran, Miss Ma; O’Brien, Mrs. T. Furlong and Miss Kittie Dalton—have added much to the revenue by their efforts. \ The Daily Record, which was issued during the fair, was to have ceased pub- lication when the fair closed, but it has been decided to keep it alive as the Weekly Record. L. J. O’Neill, the editor, intends to make it a spicy paper, filled with all the Catholic news of the various parishes. Last evenlnf all of the articles on which tickets were issued were raffled, and the articles on which no tickets were issued were sold at auction. After the business features of the festival the floor was cleared and young and old enjoyed a social dance that lasted well into the night. Thus closed one of the most succeasful festivals of the season. Lemon James Barry, ——————— Southside Improvement Club.

KILLIP & CO., Auctioneers, 11 Montgomery St., CLUBMEN KRE HOPEFL, Bright Prospects for the New Pacific - Union Home on Van Ness Avenue. Special Committee of Influential Men Has the Enterprise in Hand. At the Pacific- Union Club yesterday there was a meeting of a committee ap- pointed to raise funds to carry outthe proposition to buy land and puiid a new clubhouse on Van Ness avenue. It was attended by members of ample means and large influence, and the utmost confi- dence is expressed in the ability of these men to place ponds to the extent of $325,- 000. The report goes that the directors of the club who were authorized to place the bonds did not succeed as wel. as many members of theinstitution desired. Hence a special committee was named fo take the project in hand. Claus Spreckels, chairman of the com- mittee, presided at the meeting yesterday. Adam Grant, E. 8. Pillsbury and many others attended the session. It is the impression now that the com- mittee will place the matter in such a light before the wealthy and progressive mem- bers of the clubthat all the gondu required will be taken with little delay. The di- rectors recognize the force of Mr. Spreckels’ ability and influence in measures of this character, and do not doubt his success. Some time next week a general meeting of the ciub members will be held to hear the report of the special committee. The prediction was made last night by men familiar with the customs 15 the Pacific-Union that within two years the club will own and occupy on Van Ness avenue one of the finest clubhouses in the United States. The membership of the Pacific-Union represents a vast deal of wealth, but it isa conservative body and acts with measured judgment. Should the club resolve to maove, as now seems highly probable, all the members will join in an effort to hasten the com- pletion of the new edifice. In point of style and architecture the new home of the Pacific-Union will be an ornament to San Francisco. The proposed ies’ an- nex is a feature that commends the enter- prise to many clubmen. e Oruelty to a Baby. David Fleming and his wife Mary were ar- rested yesterday afternoon by Officers Hol- brook and McMurray of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children on the charge of cruelty to their 8-months-old baby. They were occupying a flat at 834 Mission street, which was in a filthy condition. Both were drunk when arrested.” A week ago Mrs, F’leminf was arrested on a similar charge, but ‘was released on her own recognizance by Judge Conl; on her promise to reform. ——————— Bannon’s Friends Indorse Candidates.
