For nearly two yearsvast improvements ‘ have been going on near Adams Point | a commercial depot of such pretensions at the foot of Madison street. For years the estuary above the bridges has been the abode of laid-up whalers and condemned hulls, but with the advent of deep-water ships the ‘“‘bone yard” will have to be moved to a place where improvements come not. ? The necessity of having one substantial bridge across the estuary in the place of the two ancient structures that now span itis aoubled, for it is dangerous at times to attempt to tow a loaded vessel through the drawbridges, and it is likely that now the Adams Point wharves are opened, there will be heavy traffic on the upper estuary.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALy, 908 Broadway, Nov. 9. } Next Saturday evening the ladies of this city known as the Ebell Society will for- mally open their new clubhouse. It is the first building of its kind in Alameda County, and its inaugural will be a marked social event. The Ebell Society is a fashionable liter- ary organization, which has been in ex- Rosborough, late County Tax Collecior, to pay into the county treasury $591 10, which is the amount of the shortag:. in that office.

He Was a Pioseer Resident and an Authority on Fruit Culture HAYWARDS, CAvL., Nov. .—Haywards suffered a loss this morning in the death of its pioneer citizen, Dr, Edwin Kim- ball, The doctor was born in New York in 1831, and in 1853 went to Au-tralia during the gold exc.tement. In 1859 he came to California and practiced medicine in San Francisco for twoxenm In 1862 he came to Haywards and planted an orchard, giving up the practice of medicine. Hi orchari near Haywards is one of the finest on the coast. Tropical fruits re- ceived a great deal of his attention, and he was the only successiul grower of said fruit in this vicinity. The doctor has been a member of the State Board of Hor- ticulture and was conceded an authority on fruit culture. 7 The funeral will take place to-morrow (Tuesday), at 2:30 ». M. Sycamore Lodge Celebrates. HAYWARDS, CaL., Nov. 9.—The thir- tietb anniversary of Sycamore Lodge, L 0. 0. F,, was celebratei in its lodge- room to-night. An excellent literary and musical entertainment was rendered and addresses were delivered by Wiiliam Greenwell, N. G., Hon. Charles N, Fox, who instituted tbe lodge in 1866, and Hor. Wiliiam H. Barnes. In his report Mr. Greenwell quoted statistics and showed where the iodge had introduced 292 candi- dates, disbursed over $15,000 for relief and charity and now owned property worth $12,600. William Roberts, one of the five original charter mecmbers, was vresent and delivered an interesting account of Yesterday Was an Important Day in the History of Oakland’s Development.

To-day the lofty bunkers are clean and bright—ornamental. To-mor- ‘Tow they will be black and grimy—useful. The first bucket of coal that is taken from the hold of the Burgess marks the *. beginning of Greater Oakland. No big _vessel with a cargo has been so far up the estuary because till to-day there was no ‘wharf and no channel. The long wharf is " one of the most substantial that could be built, and behind it are many acres of land made with estuary mud on what was till recently a useless marsh. Now itis as flat asa platean and furnishes room for a score of warehouses or manufactur- ing plants. -EThiu method of reclaiming land has -been done to a creat extent along the piers leading to the ferry depots, but the .. improvements opened to-day are above -the bridges and in a part of the estuary - long neglected.

It is more than supposed that Adams Point will soon be the tide-water terminus of a line from Corral Hollow. > James P. Treadwell and oiters in- terested in immense investments at Corral Hollow have already expressed the opinion that a connection with tidewater in 8an Francisco Bay. is an actual neces- sity. There is only one natural outlet und that is the Oakland water front. The new wharves are located on a portion of the front that is not controlled either legaily or illegaily by the railroad company, and there is room for half a dozen depots. From Stockton to Fresno there is a line, . from Btockton to Corral Ho low there is another, and to cover the thirty-seven miles from the coal mines to wharves and -bunkers already built is firmly believed to be the plan of the promoters. The Burgess was docked without diffi- culty, and her arrival was witnessed by a member of the State Board of Horti- culture. Two months ago Dr. Kimball's wifs died, and ner death undoubtedly hastened the orchardist’s end. The funeral services will be held at the Congregational church at Haywards to-morrow afternoon. PRAIEG FOR ARMENINS United Prayers of the Christian Endeavorers for the Suffzrers. John Willis Baer Will Receive a Reception in Oikland Monday Night. 908 Broadway, Nov. 9. The Christian Endeavor societies of Oakland are uniting with the societies throughout the world this week in proy- ing for the Armenians. The movement was set on foot a month ago by a telegram from Dr.. Francis E. Clark, who 18 now making his second trip around the world. He urged concerted action by the societies on this continent with all otbers for the sufferers. Secretary John Willis Baer of Boston seconded his efforts, and by means of the Golden Ruie, the official organ of the organization, communicated with the local societies, and zll have joined in pray- ing for tie overthrow of the Sultan and freedom for the Armenian Christians. The visit of Mr. Baer, which was post- poned owing to ‘the election, will take place next week. S. W. Condon, presi- dent of the Alameda County union, an | H. J. Waters, president of the Oakland City union, will meet Mr. Baer at Port Costa Monday afternoon and escort him to Oakiand.

The term of John Obermuller, the incumbent, wil! soon expire and some good Republicans want to e his successor. George Oakes, Fred Hoyt and Alonzo Bradford are al- ready in the field. Oakes is, however, easily in the lead. His newspaper, the Haywards Journ an ardeny advo- cate of McKinley Hilborn, and he aoubtless heiped to overturn Eden Town- ship’s Democratic majority. George Oskes is the son of the well-known caterer of the crowd of people who never expected to ual past, “Tony” Oakes. istence over two years, and now boasts of & very large membership. A few months ago the club decided that it would like to bave exclusive headquarters and an agree- ment and lease were entered into, the re- sult of which was the building now com- pleted. . The style of the Ebell's new house is Italian renaissance and the iadies are all pleased with its classic lines. The main auditorium is a Greek room of fine proportions. There is nothing to obstruct the :Fwe excent a few Ionic pil- lars. The w. and ceiling are i olive, with bronze o and friezes. To the right is the library and to the left of the main entrance are reception and dressing rooms, finished in curly redwood. Sepa- rate rooms for the various literary sections or classes are placed in each corner of the anditorium. ~ Arrangements exist by which the stage may be reached without passing through the auditorium. On Thirteenth street is the main en- trance. The broad stairs leading to the corridor are flanked by Doric pillars. The facade faces Thirteenth street and is classic in every detail. The upper floor will be a ballroom and is finished throughout in white and gold. An observation gallery extends across the south end of the hall ‘and a supper-room is provided for off that gallery. The en- trance will be on Harrison street, distinct from the Ebell rooms. The approach to the baliroom will be a wide staircase of easy rive. Altogether the Ebell Clubhouse is supe- rior to anything of the kind that exists in this part of the Btate. The ladies criticize very favorably the designs of Walter Matthews, the architect, and are very proud of their clubhouse, During the coming season there will be several - fashionable bails given in the beautiful ballroom and it is probable that other fashionable gatherings other than those under the immediate direction of the Ebell Ciub will be held there.

After the entertainment a banquet was served by the members’ wives arid a dance followed, which was en- joyed by all. ————— ¥atal Accldent to an Oaklander. OAKLAND, CaL, Nov.9.—A dispatch was received from Monterev County this evening telling of ti.e accidental death of a resident of Oakland. Mr. Egan, whose family live on Twenty-first street, is owner of a ranch near San Miguel, Mon- terey County. This afte noon he was hunting with a companion.

The Defendant Not Allowed to Take Her Maiden Name. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov. 9.—W. R. Quinan was granted a divorce to-day from Caro- line B. Dewitt Quinan on the ground of willful desertion. The plaintiff is the assistant superin- tendent of the powder works at Pinole and the family reside at Twelfth and Fil- bertstree:s. This is the second time the case has been tried. Mrs. Quinan’s attor- ney asked permission for his cliant to re- sume her maiden name, Although no objection was made by Mr. Quinan Judge Ellsworth refused to grant the request. He said the defendant was the mother of children who bore the name of her husband, and she was well advanced in years. It was proper, the Judge held, that she should continue to bear ner name in marriage. Besides, it was the fault of the woman alone that the divoree has been occasioned, because she deliberately. left her home, ana al- though she returned to it later she re- .n-rd‘ to act as a wife or to take charge of the home. R ‘The Quinans are quite prominent in social circles and the divorce occasioned some surprise. ————— 2 Only 35 per cent of the people of Paris were born there. EX-SENATOR DORSEY HERE FROM LONDON He Will Erect a Great Stamp Mill at - Picacho. Big Gold Ledgzes to Be Daveloped and About 500 Mea Em- ployed. MORE BRITISH MONEY COMING. The Ex-Senator on the Money Situa- tion—His Sirang: Career and Present Rise. Ex-United Senator Stephen W. Dorsey arrivea here yesterday, having come direct from London, and is at the Palace. - For several years the ex-Senator’s home has been in Denver, and for a year and a kalf past he has been interested in a large group of gold mines near the Coloraao River, twenty-eig .t miles from Yuma, in Southern California. He went over to London to get money to develop these mines. He succeeded in getting a lot of it and will now erect a 100-stamp mill and employ 400 and 500 men. Mr. Dorsey says he got the needed money conditionally on McKinley’s elec- tion. If Bryan had been elected he would not have got a dollar. Tue ex-Senator says also that confidence among London capitalists has greatly re- vived by the result of the election. He says a great deal of money will come to the California gold fields for development during the ensuing year. *These British capitalists,” he contin- ued, ‘‘are not buying mines outright, but they will put up money for interests and to be used in development, letting the American seller retain an interest and manage tue property. They do not care any more to send an English manager over here. But having taken an interest and paid the money, they put up a certain Km of the stock for sale and let the pub- cin. “The men of whom you hear as repre- senting English syndicates in this coun- try are usually frauds. Ten to one such a man, if the truth is known, doesn’t repre- sent any syndicate, and likely as not he will be striking the first man he sees for $1 for dinner. “These capitalists are very shrowd and sharp. They are as good business men as the shrewdest of Yankees. I think by the election of McKinley that there will be great prosperiiy throughout the country, and especially in the West. I thinkit means a great deal in the way of the de- velopment of the goid mines. I have known Mr. McKinley as long as I have known anybody. He is an able, conser- vative and entirely safe man. His ad- ministration will, in my judgment, be ad- mirable, “Many silver men throughout the coun- try voted for Mr. McKinley because they did not' like some of the planks in the Chicago platform. The one condemin the Supreme Court; and the other criti- cizing severely the Presid-nt for calling. out the troops at the time of the Chica, riot, were particnlarly objectionable. (Y ryan, while a very briiliant man, was hardiy old enough, and the coining of silver free was too s rious a proposition under the circumstances. 1 wasalways the strone friend of silver, but thereought to be some restriction on it, for the reason, for instance, that Mexico has far more silver than the Urnited States. She ciuld send $100,000,000 a year here. “In Colorado, where 1 live, there are a good many friends of silver who believe that r. McKinley will, ail things con- sidered, make an admirable President. “The mill which I will erect will be at Picacho, twenty-eight miles north of Yuma. We have a 15-stamp mill there now, but the new one will be a.100-stamp and will treat an enormousamount of ore. ‘We have some large ledges. The ore runs from $5 to $6 a ton, it being about twice as rich as that of the Alaska Tread well mine. “I will also build a railroad five and a haif miles long to carry the ore from the mine to the mill, which will be located on the bank of the Colorado River.” Ex-Senator Dorsey has had a strange career. He was gmminent in Ohio poli- tics ior a time, then went to Arkansas, from which State he was elected Senator. He had meanwhile engaged in a great railway enterprise from which he made a vast sum of money. Coming to Colorado and New Mexico he engaged in cattle-raising. He had previ- ously been a Government contractor, his contracts being largely for carrying United States mails throughout the West and South. These were largeiy what were known as star route contracts, and in connection with these the Government brought suit charzing great fruuds. Dor- sey spent a vast sum in defending himse!f, em[)loyinz Robert G. Ingersoll and other eminent attorneys. His cattle business finally failed in the West, and in recent yeurs he has been reported as utterly ruined. A Chicago paper not long ago reported a judgment against him of $450 for a piano. N But the ex-Senator ison his feet again. His eye- are dark brown and piercing, and he talks and acts like a man who had plenty of confidence in himseli. There is a suggestion of Blaine about him in his dash and in the look of bis face, which is lion-iike and full of strength. His hair is getting pretty gray. He wears it short, as _ue does his beard, which is of the Van- dyke style. He will probably be here several days. 10 TALK OF THE CANAL Another Meeting Ca'led by the Alameda Committee of Three.

He Says Christians Should Give Without Getting a Quid Pro Quo. The Presbyterian Ministerial Union had 8 ‘‘quiz day”’ yesterday and one of the questions propounded was, ‘“What are your views concerning the raising of money for church purposes by means of bazaars and fancy fairs?” Rev. 0. C. Miller, being called on to lead the discussion, gave forth his views with no uncertain voice. After describing how Christ threw the money-changers and the merchants out of the temple he touched on. modern church entertainments and methods of raising money thereby. “They aredndeed worse,” s8id Mr. Miller, “than the state of things that Christ found in the temple.” Clambakes, oysterbakes and other forms sometimes taken by church socials were described and the speaker said: “How could we' enjoy them if we real- ized that Christ was there? I think these desecrations have arisen through our not realizing that.it is the house of God. Christ said: “Do not make my father's house a house of merchandise.’” Paul spoke against such things when he said: ‘Have ye no houses to eat in?’ The Serip- tures say that we are not to give for the sake of receiving. If a man eats a plate of oyster soup for the sake of Christ he also eats because he Jikes it.” Mr, Miller clinched these remarks with several anecdotes; one of them was about a city in the East with a number of churches, all of which had been built by eating, and another was of a man who, trying to sell a bazaar ticket, was chided by an infidel with the remark: “One would think your God was bankrupt.’” The speaker concluded his remarks by stating that nothing could be found in the Scriptures to justify the raising of money for church purposes by means of bazaars and fancy fairs. Reyv. F. A. Doane, who was appointed to continue the discussion, said he frankly owied the principle was wrong, but when a board bill was staring & man in the face he thought one was compelled to look at the maiter in a broader light. He con- sidered. that asale of work, in a hall, where the sales were conducted legiti- mately, was not a violation of any divine law. Dr. Ketchum said that God had laid down a rule: *‘People were to give tythes of all they possessed to supply the church funds.” Rev. J. R. Reynolds thought socials and entertainments could be made a means of conversion. The second qu:z question was on the effects of revivals by traveling evangelists. Rev. Dr. Ketchum said that in his experi- ence the resu!t had been disastrous, as the enthusiasm inspired was only saper- ficial. Rev. Dr. Marshall testified to the success of revivals. Mme. Marie Marshall, who was present, stated “that the French Reformed Church was $400 in arresrs for rent, and ‘that un- less aid were forthcoming it would soon nave to be closed. She begged the clergy- men present to do all in their power to help a concert which was being arran.ed to raise the much-needed mon y. Dr. Ketchum reported for the Sabbath-ob- servance commiitee and commented on the apathy of many professing Christians. Resolutions commending the work of Rev. Thomas Marshall were adopted. At the Methodist preachers’ meeting Rev. C. G. Milnes represented the ne-ds o the Fruitvale M. E, Ciiurch and Rev. A. Kuammer, Dr. D. T. Bovard und I J. Tru- man were appoinied a committee to inves- tigate means of rendering assistance. ev. W. A. Svencer, D.D., zeneral secre- tary of the Methodist Episcopal Church Extension Socety, represe .ted the in- terests of that work in an interesting ad- dress. He :aid that about a thou-and ney Methodist Episcopal churches were being built annually in_this country, and that the extension society helped balf of them, At both the Presbyterian and the Methoist meetings Mrs. H. Luse, State secretary of the W. €. T. U., requested that the fourth Sunday in this mouth be observed as temperance Sundav. Both meetings ordered thac special temperance sermons be preached on that day. At the clericas Rev. Hobart” Chetwood spoke on cremalion and opposed its adoprion.
