THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1896. 1 THE GHOST BARS CARD-PLAYING © Weird Stories Told by the Residents of an Ala- meda Home. “Bell-Ringing and Knccking Con- tinue While Whist Is Played. 'THE SCENE OF A SUICIDE Recorder St. Sure Refused an Invita- tion to Hear the Uncanny Visitor. ALAMEDA, CarL, Nov. 12.—The house at 1158 Park avenue issaid to be haunted, and the wraith, or whkatever it is that is responsible for the uncanny noises, only appears when the occupants of the house are playing cards. Mr. and Mrs. Broderick, C. H. Paxton and E. H. Nauman all bear testimony to the strange circhmstancesthat have led * them to swear off playing cards, © Mr. and Mrs. Alionso Green formerly owned and lived in the place. Sue was of a religious turn of mind and abhorred cards. Her husoand and niece often en- joyed a quiet game. She could not pre- vent this defilement of her home. Other things led to mure trouble, and finally she took a dose of poison apout five years ago -and ended her life. Shedi-d in the heall- way, saying that she was one too many for the uome. . Green moved to Oakland and killed himself a year later and leit the property to the two children, He.ern and Bert Green. The latter has just come into the property by reaching his majority. Tue house has had many tenan but none stayed in it long, It gotthe name of being haunted, but nothing definite was known until Mr, and Mrs, Broderick moved in. Nothing unusual happened until they gave a card party. Early the next morning the doorbell raug. oUn beiug answered no one was in sight. This caused some talk, but not until the follow- ing week was anything serious thought of *it. Another whist game was piayed, and about 10 o'clock, when the game was nearly completed, knocks as of knuckies upon the swincing-doors between the dining-room and kiichen were heard. Upon investigation no one counid be found. The whole party beard it, and were sumewhat stariled to find no oue in thé kitchen. While talking aocout it the knocking was reveaied. It continued for some minutes. Ail were badiy frightened end the game was disconunued. Toen the electric doorbell began to ring. It was a lon ring, as il some one was ho.d- ing tne button. Al efforts to locate tue cause proved iruitless. A week later another party was ar- - ranged and all arrangements were made 10 catch any one fooling around tue house, The basement was securely locked. Afte the game had progressed i -kuocking and ringiug began. The young mei named ran out and cailed loudiy for - heip and looked around, but saw no one. Even while stunding oy the ueilit kept ringing. They resumed tie game, when the noises were repeaied, with loud moan- ings. This was enough for one night and they disbanded, A fourth night was selected and Re- corder St. Sure and others were invited. All were present but the Recorder, who had no desire to investigate. About 11 o'clock the periormance was repeated. This was the inal warning and no cards ‘have been played there since. Although they ofien have a party in the house no disturbances have been known except when. cards were played. Mr. and Mrs, Broderick are both young people. “We don’t play cards now,” she said in answer 1o 2 question to-day, “out we did untll we were scared out of it. I am not at all airaid, but as I have to be here alone a‘'good deal I don’t want such uncanny things to think of. It strange, and we Lave done everything in our power to fathom 1it, but we are as much in the dark to-day as we were the first time it hap- pened. Mr. Paxton and Mr. Nauman were living in the hou‘e at the time, but both have gone now. I guess we'll leave cards alone, anyhow.” TIX BILLS K0T BEADY *. The Charter Provides for Too Many Departments of City Government. The Last Veto Was Filed So as to Avoid Any R-ady-Made Replies. OAKLAND OFrIcE SAN FrANCISCO CALL.) 908 Broadway, Nov. 11 The dissatisiaction of the Merchants’ * Exchange with the present city charter of Oakland will probably result in a change. The merchants have decided that there are altogether 100 many departments in the cily government and that not even street improvement can be undertaken i . " any one branch opposes it. “The Merchants’ Exchange is quite right about the foolish details of our char- “ ter,” said Mayor Davie to-day, “and they only bear out wiat I bave said for the past two years. Our Board of Works, of which I am one-third, is a useless and ob- strugtive body as at present constituted and should be abolished. It is of no value to the city, but s an expensive ornament, Tnis1s, however, only one of the draw- backs of the charter. The present com- plication over the tax levy is another ‘proof that something should be done right away. E “The city taxes wiil become delinquent under the law in a few days, and yet the tax levy for the fiscal year that com- menced on July 1 is not yet fixed. The law declares that after a certain datea large percentage shall be added, and this aate will certainly be passed before all the taxes are pai ’lzhe amount vrovided by . my levy of $1 is ample, as has been gmvud duringthe past year. The Council’s levy of $110 sumply provides a large fund for themto place where it ¢an be oi most use * ‘next spring when the municipal election «comes round. This matter might weli have been fixed months ago. 2 “Some members of the Council have stated that I s.ould have'filed my veto earlier, but I bave a zood reason for not * doing so. On former occasions when I - have sent messazes to the Council they have been opened before that body met, and as soon as they have been read in the Council chamber, long typewritten, in- sulting meesages have been read in reply. Iintended that this should not be tne case this time, and called a special meet- ing to receive my message, which I havea perfect right to do.” The present city government goes out of - office next March and the Mayor declares that there is no need whatever of & *gen-| eral fund” which can be voted away by $499 resolutions which dispense with the formality of requiring his assent, On the Tax Collector’s door is the fol- lowing notice: TAX BILLS NOT READY. NO LEVY YET MADE. Hundreds of property-owners who do not understand politics, but who are anxious to avoid any delinquent taxes, have visited the Treasurer's office daily, but seeing the notice they walk away and wonder. —_——————— WANTS kIS FEES. The Bacon Estate Now Ready for Dis- tribution. OAKLAND, Car., Nov. 12.—Attorney F. A. Berlin, who has represented the ex- ecutor and executrices of the estate of Henry D. Bacon, has given notice that he will ask to have his fees fixed next Monday by the court. He has filed tlur}y. two pages of typewritten copy, showing the services rendered, with items by da‘es of consultations and of proceeuings taken, He says for the first two vears the greater partof his time was required with the estate, and during three and a half years his seryices were almost continually re- quired. i ¢ “The estate was appraised at $388,633 75 and monev has been collected since ag.re- gating $388,875, muk ny tue total value of the estate $1 X The commis- sion of the executor and executrices, as provided by law, would amount to $14,089, To keep the estate intact the "beirs inc r- porated under the title of the Bacon Land and Loan Company and conveved all their | interests to that company.

OAKLAND, Car, Nov. 12—The City Council met to-night to consider the veto of the Mayor on the latest tax levy sent to him. Whena motion was made to pass it over the veto it prevailed by a vote of 9 to 2. Kaufman and Bassett voted “no.”’ On former occasions Brosnahan and Watkinson have voted with the Mayor, making a vote of 7 to4. Aseight votes are required to pass over a veto the meas- ures have been defeated till this evening. This ordinance fixes the levy at $1 10, which is 10 cents more than last year, when the City government was run with- out a deficit. Better Fire Protection. OAKLAND, CAL., Nov. 12—The present fiscal year is expected to bring a number of much-needed improvements in the Fire Department. The Sixth-street en- gine-h use is to be reconstructed; Brook- Iyn engine-house, on East Fourteenth avenue, near Thirteenth, is to be remod- eled by baving the walls built eight feet higher to give the men a suitable dormi- tory, and a new engine-house is to be built at Twenty-fourth and Broadway, to ‘be two stories in height, and to be | large enough to housé an engine and truck company. Cbief Fair has hopes of securing a large modern truck for East Oakiand during the year, in which event the small one in use there will be taken to the buiiding on Broadway. The Chief has just had made a new ““Siamese’ coupling toenable him to concentrate the sireams of several different engines on one line of hose, so as to obtain a stream of great force, and in case ot a very hot fire to pour a great quantity of water into it with some effect. Serious Charges. OAKLAND, Cavn, Nov. 12—Ernestine Detbem charges the superintendent of the Central-avenue Electric road with contriving and conspiring to cheat bher by pavine her daughter, Mrs. Rosalie Thomas, $65 and inducing uer to attach the mark of the plaintiff in lien of her signature to a setilement of plaintif’s claim for damages for injuries re:eived in a suit filed against the road to- day and claims $50,000 damages. Mre. Delbam was a passenger on the line August 31 last and while aligoung at Pine and Lincoln streets she alleg-s the car was started and she was thrown to the ground L \\\\\\\\\'\\ Nye’s Experience. OAKLAND, CAL., Noy. 12—The candi- dates for office at the recent election are now fiing their campaign expense ac- count s required by the purity of election law. Onpe of the best presented to date 1s that of ex-Judee Stephen G. Nye, who ran as the Pronibition candidate for Superior Judge and received 1091 votes, while the party Presidential electors received only 130. _Dnder the statement of expenditures the Judge says: . “ILattended two political meetings dur- ing the campaign preceding the election. One, the Prohibition meeting, was opened with prayer. The other, a Republican meeting, was opened with a corkscrew. I contribuied 50 cents to the former to pay the gas bill, and $5 to the latter to aid in dressing in uniform the Young Men’s Re- publican League; at least the money was obtainea from me on that pretense; to whom paid I don’t know. Other than these, with me, it was not a money cam- paigr.” Clipped and Indexed. OAKLAND, Car. Nov. 12.—Librarian Peterson of the Public Library in his re- port to the Trustees, among other things says: The clipping of newspapers 1s another in- novation; we are ciipping articles from our daily papers—that §s, the Oakland d San Francisco dailies. Departments hi established such as “‘Board of Trad. chants’ Exchange,” “City Counceil,” * Education,” and others of local int eports of meetings will be regularly chippea and properly arringed ready jor reference. This, I believe, will b2 a very interesting and vainable d partment of thelibrary. Many of these art.cles may never be in book form, or accessible, conscquently cannot help but be valuable for reference. He Was Shocked. During a fire last night Foreman Isaac Foster of Englne Company No. 1 went to the roof of the buiiding with a bucket of water 1o dash on the flames. The fire was caused by a line of electric wire, and when the water touched it the current was com- municated to Foster. He received a se- vere shock and was thrown against a chimney, thus preventing him from a fall of fifty fe-'t to the ground. He soon re- covered and -feels no bad effects from the experience. Policemen’s Uniforms. Chief of Police Lloyd has recommended to the Policeand Fire Commissioners that all of the cloth for police uaniforms pass through the hands of the department and that if it is not of required shade or weight it can be rejected. The plan is the same as has worked satisfactorily in Ban Fran- cisco. He favors the adoption of Ameri- can made goods instead of the French beaver now used, as it would be cheap:r and more uniform in color. The Soules to Separate. CAKLAND, Can., Noy. 12.—A com- plaint was filed in the Superior Court to- day against Professor Frank Soule of the University of California by his wife, who seeks a divorce, The cause of tae suit is incompatibility of temper and there will be no contest. \ and had ashoulder dislocated and asa re- ' 7// Interior and Exterior Views of the E“e!l Sccicty’s New Clubhouse. Mrs. Bunnell, the president of the so- ciety, and Mrs. H. O, Trowbridee, chair- man of the building committee (which has just brought the resuit of its labors to a successful conclusion), have decided that ladies in private life are not honored by being pictured in the public papers and have expressed their disspproval of of such illustrations. For two years Mrs. H. O. Trowbridge has been before the public in a semi- official capacity. To her, more than to any other woman, belongs the credit of originating the “home production’” move- ment in Oakland that gave birtu to the annual exposition. Mrs. Trowbridge last Christmas personally supervised and ar- ranged the daily entertainments that were oge of the most successful features of the show. During all this time Mrs. Trowbridge has steadfastly refused to ailow her photo- graph to be reproduced in a newspaper. On one occasion she met several newspa- permen at the Tabernacle, and in response to tue usnal request she set forth her views very clearly. “I am a home woman,’’ she said, “and of my home my picture is a part. Ido not wish every person that picks up a newspaper to hav- the privilege of gazing at ma and making remarks it they see fit. My work is solely of a private nature, although it brings me somewhat before the public. Of course I know that there are numerous opportunities at meetings and elsewhere where sketches could be made, but I hope t my wishes in the matter will be respected.” Mrs. Trowbridge has been very active in gromoling ibe new building, but so far ‘er dwom-nly request has not been re- used. 4 Mrs. G. W. Bunnell holds the same views as Mrs. Trowbridge. “I do not wish to figure promineml{," she said, ‘“‘and I think there is an indication among ladies to value their pictures too lightly. Of course we like to have nicely illustrated articles in our nawl‘rurn. but there is vur building—a beautiful thing that will last—make some pictures of it and let 1 e world see what a handsome home t| Ebell Society has. The president is ways cnanging, and I do not approve of unwarranted notorini." Baturday eveaing the Ebell Clubhouse sult she is permanently disabled. She de- nies having signed or had read to her any paper regarding a settlement, and avers that the superintendent knowing she was under dpiates took the ocasion to induce the daugnter to affix the mark to the doc- ument. An Heir's Conduct. OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 12.—Mrs, M. C. Bacon in an aflidavit in support of her suit against Frank P. Bacon for sapport of herself and family, says the nusband and father is heir to $100,000 from the es- tate of his father, the late H. D. Bacon. She claims 10 have been compelled to spend $1500 received as a legacy from the father of her husband to support famly. She l=nt her husband $3500 out of a $4000 legacy received from her mother, which he has refused to repay. She claims his income is §300 a month, and she asks that that sum be set aside for the support of herself and her eight children, A Pioneer’s Funeral, OAKLAND, Oar, Nov. 12.—The last honors were paid to the memory of James Tgan, one of California’s honored pioneers, to-day. The body was taken from the residence of his son, Mariin- J. Egan, to Baint Francis de Sales Church, where a requiem mass was celebrated. The body wes then taicen to 8t. Mary’s Cemetery for interment. The pall-bearers were: C. H. Knownburg, D. J. Sullivan, Robert Boyd, John Collins, George Manyon and H. Sterling. ¥ Loie Fuller Here. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov. 12—The engage- ment of Loie Fuller for Ler first appear- ance in_ Ca.fornia at the Macdonouzh Theater is attracting great’ attention; and the advance szle of seats for the day is very large. Tne famous violinist, Edward Remenyi, will also give a couple of num- bers. The double bill will attract the largest audience ever seen at the Mac. donough Saturday evening. Denies All Charges. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov. 12.—Ex-County Tax Coliector Rosborough has replied to the demand made on him for money in connection with the dispute over the iunds of his office, and denies in detail ever receiving himself or by his deputies any of the moneys in dispute. The m ter now is to deosde whether County Audi- tor Myron Whidden was his agent when he received taxes. o TRAINING FOR THEIR YELLING Students Preparing for Sys- tematic Rooting on . Thanksgiving. A Section of the Grand Stand at the Football Grounds to Be Reserved for Them. THEY WILL PRACTICE DAILY Berk:ley Will Have a California Bear for a Mascot Again This Year. BERKELEY, CArn., Nov. 12.—The stu- dents of the State University will yell at the Thanksgiving football game, which will take place just two weeks from to- day, as they never yelled before. They have commenced to train in ‘‘rooting,’” and every evening during football prac- tice they will congregate on the grand stand and train thelr throats and lungs in giving forth their slogans of war. A meeting of the student body was called to-day in the big auditorium tent for the express purpose of stirring up enthusiasm over the coming game and of organizing for systematic cheering. AllL classes were excused for the hour of meeting, and the big tent was crowded to the entrance. A dozen or more speeches were made by various representative men of the uni- versity on the subject of encouraging the football players in their work Irom now till the greai contest. : This, they eaid, could be done in vari- ous ways, but the most potent method was by loud, earnest, frequent cheering. The condition oi the men at the present time and the outlook for the big game were reviewed. It was unanimously agreed that Berkeley’s prospects for a vie- tory over the Palo Alto team are much more encouraging this year than at any sexson previous. One of the speakers said: “We will win this year if we ever do. We bave had too many tie games al- ready, and so it seems inevitable that the balance will be turned this time.” T .1s favorable outlook scemed to have been due to the excellent tu'tion received by the plavers this yearat ‘he hands of Coachers Butterworth and Nott. Ye.l-masier Gooding announced that the sffiliated collezes would join this year in giving the yells at the came, and that the medicos had already begun to practice, He said also tnat a section of the grand stand to accommodate 500 will be re- served for. Berke ey “rooters.” Bernard Miiler was apvointed chairman ol a committee to secure a bear, similar to the one which the U. C. boys had last year, as a mascot.

Students’ Congress to Discuss Aboli- tion of Military Work at the University. BERKELEY, Caw., Nov. 12.—Although the next municipal election of Berkeley is some months away, a good deal of ac- tive campaigning is already being done by aspirants for the various offices to be filied. The biggest fiz :t promises to be that for the office of Town Marshal, for which there are aiready five candidates. Marshal Llovd relies upon his record against the illicit liquT traflic to give him votes. He will be opposed by R. P. Bull and J. W. Stricker, both of whom were close competitors of bis in the last election. George Schmidt, who was Marshal some years ago, is another protable candidate, and J. M. Creed is also after the ffice. Besides a Marsnal, three Town Trustees, three School Directors, an Assessor, Treas- urer and Town Clerk are to be elected next Avril. Berkeley's new charter provided that the Trustées of ihe eyen-numbered wards should hold office for two years aiter the first election under the charter, the other Trustees’ time expiring in four years.

Changed the Text. “I have a very critical parishioner in my church, who used to abnoy me terribly, but I have finally silenced him,” said a Harlem preacher, very confidentially, to a brother minister, who thought the story 100 good to keep. ‘I used to be airaid of him. If I ever preached a sermon the sec- ond time he was sure to call at the parson- age on Monday and tell me just when I preached it before. I thought that man bad a most prodigions memory, unula few montbs ago, when I called at his house one evening and waited in the par- lor alone for a few minutes. I opened his Bible and turning the pages noticed that he had the date of every one of my ser- mons noted pn the margin opnosite its text. Some that have been preached two or three times were marked accordingly. “l had found his memory and very easily defeated it. Since then when T want to repeat a sermon I simply select a new text that will fit it instead of the orizinal one.
