Couturier Locks Two Stepdaugh- ters Uut of Their Houso After | the Funeral. ALAMEDA, Cxv., Nov, 25.—Miss Eisie | Herne of San Francisco swore to a com- plaint last evening charging a man named Paul with battery. The trouble arose at the house of the late Mrs. Herne, step- mother of the young lady, on the day fol- lowing the funeral. Miss Herne and sis- ter, Virginia, and an aunt named Mrs, Couturier were in attendance at the fune- | ral, but the latter teared that the girls | would take possession of the premises.

GILBERT, Who Will Give Seeds to Junior Endeavorers to Raise Plants Which They Will Sell for the 97 National Convention Fund. juniors are taking little or no interest in the great event next vear. It was urged on their behalf that they had no money Yo give and that consequently they could not enter into the spirit of the affair. .- This objection, however, exists no longer. C. E. Gilbert of the city Endeavor Union, ..who is one of the most prominent men in the organization in this county, was sur- prised at the last meeting of juniors to | hear the little ones express a willingness to work ordo anything if by such action " they could help to swell the fund for enter- taining delegates at the next convention. . .. A- aiscussion was held, but no feasible * plan was advanced which would bring about the desired end. Finally, Mr. Gil- - bert thought that the little ones, if they were in earnest, wouid be willing to do a little gardening to testify to their love for - -the principles of the union. Mr. Gilbert advanced the idea that 1f * they were to grow plants and vegetables and sell them for the benefit of the fund, it would be far better than to advise them .o go around begging from their friends. The' idea at once proved acceptable, and the little people signifiea their wiliingness to grow produce if it were made possible for them to do so. Gilbert then under- took to supply every child with the neces- sary seeq to start a little produce-patch. At the next meeting of the juniors a large variety of garden-seed will be on hand and the children will be given what kind they desire. They will also be told how best to cultivate them and wkat to do in order to render the experiment a suc- ss. Armed with seed and knowledge, each little Endeavorer will do his or her best to make a zood showing when the time comes for them to make known the result of their efforts, There are probably not less than a - thousand Junior Endeavorers in Alameda + - Coynty, and it is more than likely that each one will earn from one to three dol- * lars by means of this experiment. The children are very enthusiastic over the - work and are grateful to Mr. Gilbert, not much for snpplying the s eds as devis- ing.a plan which will enacle them to do as much as many of their seniors for the National convention. Probably not less than three thousand .. dollars will be procured by this means, and the Junior Coristian Endeavorers of . this county will have set an example that can be profitably foliowed in every other . county on the coa: 2 A GUN IS MISSING. Its Absence May Save an Alleged Mur- derer ¥rom the Gallows. 0AxLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcISco CALy, 908 Broadway, Nov. 25, 1896. % A very remarkable discovery was made to-day in regard to the evidenco in the trial of Antone Devencenzi for the alleged murder of Felice Varnia last December. The prosecution in the case depends to some extent upon the proof that the empty shells found near the murdered “ man’s body were of the same kind and size as those used by the prisoner with his gun. This gun has now disappeared, and - "there is very little hope that it will be recovered. Three months ago Mrs. Burgan, the pro- prietress of a gunstore on Seventh street, ° - applied to the ‘District Alwm‘ for per- missicn to take away and cNan Daven- - -cenzi’'s gun to prevent it Jfrom being ruined. The vermission was grantea her, . bat before doing so the District Attorney . served her with a subpena requiring her .10 appear in court at the trial and bring the gun with her. The trial is now on, ard t e prosecution has reached that stage where it is necessary that it have the gun. "Mrs. Burgan was called as a witness but \ did not respond, and it was found that she had left town. - A search was made for the missing wit- ness ang it was found that some time ago - 8he sold her gunstore and quit the busi- ness. A Dittle later she left Ozkland and . isnow living at Cloverdale, on the Burgan . ranch. The proprietor now in charge of !things. A man named Paul assisted in keeping them out, and is accused of throw- ing Miss Virginia bodily out into a flower bed. She ciaims to be badly bruised and her feelings hurt. Surrenders the Encinal ALAMEDA, CaLn, Nov. 25. ~The man- a gement of the Encinal has reverted to F. K. Krauth, its former owner. James W. Travis, who has run it for the past year, surrend ered the paper Sunday, but at the request of Mr. Krauth got out Monday’s edition. “I am satisfied with the West Oakland Sun and the Emeryville News,” | said Mr. Travis this afiernoon. “I see no money in keeping a paper running that does not pay expenses, and will confine my efforts to the other papers.” Mr. Krauth denies that his son acd R. H. Ma- giil Jr. will manage the paper, but does | not know what ne will do yet. Twelfth Anniversary: ALAMEDA, Can, Nov. 25.—Alameda | Parlor No. 47, N. 8. G. W., celebrated their twelith anniversary this evening with a | masquerade ball in the Armory. The at- tendance was large, and all seemed to en- joy themselves. The arrangements were in'the bands of L. H. Tansue, J. A, San- som, A. V. Fisher, J. J. Flynn and Max Gundlach. The reception committee was composed of J. F. Hanson, M. Glas, W. Eckstein, J. H. Glas and K. J. Probst, who faithfully attended to the duties allotted | them. C. M. Day, president, was floor manager. The floor committee were: G. Wagner, C. N. Bolte, H. Reichsrath, E. B. Owens and C. T. Rose. 1t is needless to add that their duties were performed to the satisfaction of all. The Native Daughters served an elab- orate supper and added greatly to the pleasure of their brothers and sweet- hearts. Low Estimates. Hamilton, architects, who drew the plans | for the alterations of the Council-rooms, | estimated the cost at $300. Local builders refuse to figure on any such proposition, | saying that the lumber alone would cost | that much. They claim $500 would be a cheap price for the job. “I don’t believa that the library will ever get out of the City Hall if it is once moved in,”’ said Librarian Harbourne to- day, “Of course, they tell us taat we will have a buiiding 1n the course of two or | three years, but that is only talk to pacify | the enthusisstic.

AFTER THE BALL Leaders of Golden Gate Soclety Have Ceased Quarreling. OAKLAND, CArL., Nov. 25 —The trouble over the celebrated Dillingham ball dress that stirred to its center the society of Golden Gate has been adjusted. Speaking in her own behalf, Miss Min- nie Riley, who wore the dress and won the prize, said to-day: “I wish to say that Mrs. Dillingham did not prepare the dress that won the first prize at the masquerade on Salurday evening especially for that occasion, it being one she bad worn without success On many previous occasions. “Nobody asked her for the use of her dress, but she offered 1t of her own free will. She was not sick at the time, but preferred a good night’s sleep to going to the ball. If I had not worn the dress it would not have been there to win the prize. ‘‘Afterward she wanted the whole prize, but on second consideration has come to my terms of agreement and given me half its value, and she is now in possession of both waich and dress, and all is settled satisfactorily to both. OAKLAND WINS. In a Wrestling Bout Between Vereins Will Is Victorious.

George Hildebrand represented San Fran- cisco and John Will the local verein. The first fall was secured by Will in fifteen minutes. Hildebrand was forced to the mat a second time in eight minutes and Will was declared the champion of the bay vereins. There were several pretty displays by the juniors. ————— The Macdonough Theater. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov. 25.—A novel and pleasing entertainment will be given by the Acme Athletic Club on Monday even- ing, December 7, which will doubtless be the society .event of the season.

The affair was a brilliant one as the “Dandy Fifth” includes many younger members of society. Military Hall was beautifully decorated and refreshments were served ina camp tent formed of a large flag. At one end of the hall was an enormous shield and eagle, built with red, white and biue bunting, with an occa- sional touch of gold. On it was the in- ecription, *‘Our Anniversary—1861-1896," Riparian Rights Argued. OAKLAND, CaL, Nov. 25.—The ripa- rian damage suit of the Spring Vulf:y Water Company against John L.

SHODTING AFERAY BARELY AVERTED Berkeley’s Town Marshal Assaulted by a Gray- Haired Woman, Mrs. Mary Townsend Pulled a Revolver on Him and At tempted to Discharge It. The Gun Failed to Go Of—Put Under Arrest—DMore Trouble Antic- ipated. BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. 25.—Another seene inthe famous trouble over the dis- puted possession of the Townsend prop- erty on Shattuck avenues was enacted to- day. All the accessories fora first-class tragedy were present—two pistols, a de- termined woman, an aggressor and an Richard Lloyd, Town Marshal of Berkeley, Who Was Held at Bay by Two Revolvers in the Hands of Mrs, Mary Townsend. audience of a score or_more people which bad gatherea around the “Townsend Fort,” as it has come to be called. The spilling of blood by the shooting ing down of Berkeley’s Town Marshal was only averted by the coolness of temper which the officer displayed and the fear- lessness which he manifested toward the enraged woman. As told before, the town authorities had anthorized Street Superin- tendent Chick to remove from the street the house of Mrs. Town<end, which has been blockading the public highway for more than two weeks. Chick was driven from tue premises. Yesterday Mrs. Townsend was told that her dwelling must be moved back to its place at once, and that unless she had it done td*day the matter would be attended to by the town authorities, Instead of comulying with the request of the Street Superintendent she re- enforced her stock of ammunition and said she would shoot the first man who laid hands on the building. Superintendent Chick held a long con- ference with her this morning in sn at- tempt to persuade her that she should struction to the street. All of the outfit that was on the property claimed by the town has been taken to the Town Hall. To-night Mrs. Townsend is at the resi- dence of Dr. Ritter, and says that she will now give up to the authorities, in the hope that justice may be meted out to her. A large number of Berkeley citizens who know the history of the case say that Mrs. Townsend hagno justclaim to the property she is attempting to hold and that the plea that she is a much-abused woman is groundless. Others, however, assert the contrary. There seems to be no telling when or how the matter will end. : Funeral of Dr. Bonte. BERKELEY, CaL, Nov. 25. — The funeral of Dr. J. H. C. Bonte, who was for filteen years secretary of the Board of Regents of the State University, and who died yesterday, will take place’ on Friday at Sacramento, from the residence of his in-law, Dr. J. H. Parkinson. It is anticipated that a large delegation of the Regents, members of the faculty ana students, together with a corps from Durant Lodge, F. and A. M., will attend. All exercises of the university were sus- pended to-day in memory of the deceased secretary, Brief News Items, BERKELEY, Car., Nov. 25.—A new driveway for light v hicles is about to be opened up on the north side of the uni- versity grounds leading to the Scenic Park. A union thanksgiving service will be held to-morrow morning at 10:30 at the First Presbyterian Church. Services of the Episcopalians will be held at St. Mark’s, beginning at 10 o’clock. Professor H. T. Ardley of the depart- ment of industrial art at the university is engaged in delivering a series of illus- trated lectures on his subject in the south- ern part of the State. The new incandescent lighting system for Berkeley went into operation this morning. The service will continue throughout the night and will be regu- lated each day by the rising of the sun. THE GREAT GAME TO-DAY Continued from Fifth Page. part, but he is believed to be in good condition now and fully capable of holding down his end. He isspeedy at getting down on kicks, runs well with the bail and is strong at tack- ling. The way he wili shp through & mass of interference and down a runner is admirable. His greatest fault is a tendency to overrun his man, especlally on punts. Jeffs is also catcher on the Varsity baseball team and a good one. Quarterback C. G. Murphy is the onlv fresh- man to make the team, and it is only through his unusual ability that he won the coveted place. Little Mcintosh, who piayed sub- quarter last year, was looked on as a sure winner of the place on account of his wonder- fully gritty and clever play, but Murphy was oo ‘strong for him. Uniled with unusual speed, Murphy has a knack for punting that easily places him ahead of any other player at Staniord. For distances. Soper can, perhaps, outpunt him, and Freeman is nearly his equal in that respect, but neither is so accurate in his placing of kicks nor so quick in executing them. Murphy is sure in his passing and tackies fairly well, but his strong pointis his cleyerness as a general. He has what players cail a “football head,” that is, he knows just whattodo in a game at the right time. His football experience comes from two years’ play on the Willamette College team, during one year of which_ time Murphy was captain. In Sulem, Wash., Murphy has s record asa hurdler, ‘jumper. and bicyclist. He weighs 146 pounds, is 5 feet 615 inches tall. and is taking Latin'as a major study. He is 20 years of age. Forrest S, Fisher, Stanford’s right half, 1s & webfooter from Oregon, and this is his first year in the Varsity, He began to play foot- ball toward the close of last year, and his model build for & halfback, coupled with bis weight, strength and spirit, made him a prom- ising man. For muscular development no man in the team exceeds him. His play this season has been characterized by steadiness and relisbility rather than brilliancy. Pos- sessing no great speed or quickness in getting off, Fisher does manage to get up a pow- etful momentum in a very short distance, and the way he tears into a line is a caution. His line plunging is his strong point, and in that he rivals Frankenheimer of former years. He also backs up a line well and is & hard tackler. 3 inches in his stockings, and weighs 176 ! pounds stripped. He entered Stanford with | the class of ‘98, and is pursuing the study of the law. With B. F. Seawright at left half Stanford weli feels thet she is strongly fortified. Sea- wright is a_hard, dasbing plaver, a steady, sure tackler, and active on his fect. He backs well and is & ground-gainer with the ba l. His weizht is 172 pounds, strippad, age 21, height 5 feet 81¢ inches, and iiajor subject German. Heisa Xos!-gradunm stuaent, only arrived at Stanford this year from Missouri, and somewhere in that State his record for Mrs. Townsend and the House She Valiantly Defended. give up to the town authorities, but his efforts were unavailing, and accordingly this afternoon an Oakland contractor, ac- companied by Marshal Lloyd, went to the house. Mrs. Townsend was on guard inside with two trusty revolvers and a great quantity of ammunition. The marshal rapped at the door for admission. The aged protectre:s of the citadel opened the door, but on seeing the officer, attempted to close it. The marsnhal then forced the door open, and before he knew it Mrs, Townsend had a six-shooter placed against his chest and was attempting to puil the trigger. Her weak arms, for she is 76 years of age, were closely pinoned, however, and she did not succeed in discharging the weapon. Officers Coey and Esmond jumped in at this instant and wrested from the gray- haired matron the two revolvers which she heid in her hands. Having been disamed and placed at the mercy of the officers, she was put under arrestand charged with assault with a deadly wea- pon. Fhe was arrested under the com- pla nt which Wwas sworn against her as a result of her first trouble with Chick, A plea of not guilty was entered, and she was allowed 1o go from the Town Hall on her own recognizance. While she was gone the house was moved back to its old position. Before work _was commenced a repre- sentative of W. P. Grant, the house- mover who put the building in the street, notified the Oakland contractor not to use his outfit for movSnE. Superintendent Chick ordered the Qak- land contractor to go ahead. saying that be would confiscate Grant’s outfit and take it to the Town Hall, as it was an ob- Children Cry for the hundred yards is said to stand at 10 sec- onds flat. Steuart W. Cotton, the fullback, is frequent- 1y said to be the best aii-round football piayer at Stanford. He has tried all posiiions now and is a success in auy of them. Last year he was & very likely candidate for guarter and was tried ior some time in that position. Cot- ton Jearned the gam: originaily at Belmont Schoo! and was the only freshman of the class of '98 to make the team. This is his third year on the Varsity and he thoroughly under- stands the gume. “As & line-backer nothing can stop him, and at tackiing he issure and hard. For solaige a man Cotton has much speed, which makes him valuable to send against the line. Cotton is still the youngest man in the team and has been ever since he first played for Stanford as a freshman. He Is* 19 years old, s 6 feet 1 inch in heightanad weighs 187 pounds, stripped. His ~major study is history, and his home is in San Fran- cisco. In cese any of the men should be injured there will be plenty of substitutes on hand to take thelr places. "As arule thess substitutes have given the Varsity men close runs for their positions. For “'subs” back of the line there is, first, C. 8. Dole '98, of Riverside, Stanford’s ail-round athlete and coast champion pole-vaulter, who had a lead for a Varsily place until injured two weeks ago. He is just back in playing shape again. As anend-runner and for keep- ing his feet Dole isthe best back at Stanford. He 1s aiso strong at line-bucking and in back- ing up the line. His tackling is but little in- ferior to Seawright's, and his weight is the snme as that of the Varsity left half. Dole is 23 years old, 5 feet M inches in height and is taking economics as a majo Louis Freeman '99. of Pasadena, the tennis champion, is sub-half or fuliback, and is but 18 years old. He islarger than any of the halfbacks and is 6 fect in height, weighs 17615 nouuds stripped and is taking law as major. Freeman is o fierce line-bucker, fair tackier and an excellent punter. Garth Parker 1s the other “sub-half.” In build ne is short and thick-set. but rather lighter than the other men, weighing but 166 Pitcher's Castoria.

At finding a weak point in a line he has jew supe- riorsand his tackling is low and hard. His residence is Salinas, Cal.; his age 21; major study, physiology. W.W. Burnett 00 can play equally well at guard, center or tackle. He was the center rush in_the freshman match against Berkeley and had an easy time with Birdsal. Hisplay- ing is better now than ever before. Law is his major; his height is 6 fcet 1inch; weight, 193 pounds, Edwin James '98, of Paso Robles, “sub- guard,” is in prime condition and is capable of a sturdy game. His practice this season has been steady snd conscientious. He is 6 feet 2 iuches in height, weighs 190 pounds stripped and is a civil engineering student. Sub-end is W. L. McLaine '97, of San Fran- clsco, Varsity pitcher, and B. Thomas 11 neces- sary. Both are strong, steady Elnyers. who follow the ball carefully and tackle in an ad- mirable manner. Sut-quarterback W. P. MecIntosh '99, of Los Angeles, is in some respects superior to Mur- phy. He will tackle anything that comes his way and has more endurance and grit than most of the Varsity men. He is 21 yearsold, but weighs only 135 pounds. Students Enthusiastic. BERKELEY, Car., Nov. 25.—Berkeley’s practice season for 1896 is no more. The last game preliminary to the great annual intercollegiate match has been played, the last touchdown has been scored. the last punt has been made, the last muscle has been rubbed down, the firal yell has been given and the last song has been sung before the mightily sinewed collegi- ans meet on the gridiron-like amphithea- ter in battle for the crown of laurel. The long training season with its many vicissi- tudes, its inevitable vagaries, its hopes, its fears and the anxiety it has occasioned in thousands of heartsis at anend. Now a few hours of rest for the men and the bat- tle will pe on. As a fitting climax to a season of hard labor and incessant toil the friends and supporters of the sturdy players who are to uphold the blue and gold in to-mor- row's contest turned out 600 strong to- night and gave them an ovation such as only college boys can give. They sang and they yellea, they hooted and they cheered, they spoke and listened. No Cemsar ever departed from Rome under more delightful and encouraging circum- stances. The *‘rooters’”” who had gathered to pay tribute to ine defenders of Alma Mater met at Stiles Hall for a few mo- ments of practice in singing and cheering before going in a body to the training quarters. Under the leadership of Yellmaster Gooding and Assistant Miller they went turough the lines of football songs, the Libe' and the verses of doggerel which they ad committed and which will be dealt out to Stanford to-morrow in quantities to suit. Coach Butterworth, Manager Reinhardt and all the players were called out one by one and asked to speak to the body of yelling students, who stood within the | glare of an impromptu bonfire, which was | weil fed with boards and pickets from the surrounding fences. Captain Ransome thanked the boys for the ovation, and ex- pressed full confidence in a victory for the blue and gold in to-morrow’s contest. He said that all the men were going into tne game with one purpose—that of winning— and if defeat should be their lot they would bear it bravely, feeling that they had done their best. His remarks were frequently interrupted by loud rounds of applause. Each of the other members of | the team responded in a few well-chosen | sentences. | _Buutierworth was called for and when the popuiar coach appeared cheers from the turong fairly rent the air. He admon- | ished the studenis to ever be loyal to the tootball men, and especially thuse who succeed in reaching the highest positions | discouraged the 1dea of cheering a player who dashes out from the rest of his team and runs down the field with the ball without considering also the man or men whose work made the brilliant play pos- sible. Continuing, he said: *You don’t seem to know when to yell and to cheer. Your intentions are undoubtedly good enough, but you frequentiy wasie good breath. sand and good sense you would have them spoiled because of. your sometimes mis- placed cheering. [Some one calls out “‘three cheers for the sand.”’] “Iam afraid,” said Butterworth, “that I will not have the pleasure of seeing you again next year, but I shall not forget you. | Wnatever polnters to my successor from my experience with you I can give will be freely offered.” ‘When seen after the meeting Butter- worth said toa CarL correspondent that he was much more pleased with the show- ing made by the men this year than'last. “Therr allegiance to the principles of the game has been closer,” said he, “and they have worked harder and truer. The general standard of their play has gone up. They have been handicapped sorme- what by the vagaries of the seuson, but, after all, we should have no kick coming, for most of the men are in goo.! condition. “While 1 shall not place myself on record as predicting the outcome of the game to-morrow, I will say that I am not absolutely discouraged with the outlook for the Berkeley team. It will be with great interest that I will watch the game,’’ The team will go over to the City in the morning on the 10 o’clock train, and will be quartered at the Baldwin. The little bear which will serve as :California’s mascot and “'Spud’” Murpby, his keeper, will aiso be on the train. Both young bruin and Murphy will be gayly decked in blue and gold, and are destined to cut quite a figure on the field before the kick-off. In the evening after the game the players will go to the Auditorium, where the university theater pariy is to be given and the farce *In Kokopo™ pro- duced by student actors. More Harbor Improvements. OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 25.—Another large improvement will soon be added to those already existing in the upper har- bor. The contract has just been let for the construction of another large coal- bunker upon the wharf of the California Development Company, above Alice- street bridge. It will have a storage ca- pacity of 6000 tons of coal, and the plans rovide for the latestimproved machinery for quickly uuloading ships’ cargzoes and placing 1t on cars.
