Much comment_is beiig made among propefty-owners on the fact.that James de Fremery, a Wést Oakland landed pro- prietor, has ofiered to sell to tae city fora public-park a large tract of land for $10,- 000, which essed for $16,000,° and which should be,aceording to the usual calculation, worth a marketable price of at’least $25.000. Mr. d¢ Fremery has “made his offer in yood h in response to a request by the Works for tenders for the pur- ‘ e of ulfimately.purchasing land for a lic park. Mayor Davie is.one of the members of the'Board of Works, and he® has, made some ihquiry into the Tacts and records, which bear out his theory that a tax levy 1.§1 fof Qakland is equivalent il propor- tien to a levy of $¥ 35 in Los Angeles. “The peculiarity of this offer of Mr. de srémery can ‘oriy bé explained in one way,” said ‘the Mayox. ‘‘There is no duubt that pfopetly in this city is assessed higher tian anvwhere else in This wotld work o hardship if the levy tn proporiion.’ But some people de tseem able to comprehend the fact that alevy of $1 on Property assessed for all t is'worth is equivalent to & lévy of property .thiat is only assessed for value,.

Berkeley Students Having Nothing to Say About Football — Capiain Ran- sonie Champions Butterworth. BERKELEY, Car., Dec. 1.—Apropos of the recent charges brought against Coach Batterworth as to his alleged neglect of duty as Berkeley’s football instrudtor, Captain Ransome hgs prepared a state- ment to the public in which he resertts the attack and deplores that the football men’| at’the university have been placed in such an unsportgmanlike pesition. He says Buttérworth did all in his power to make the team efficient, and that it was no fault of the coach t the team failed: 3 “Land the rest of the team,” 7 says he, ‘‘feel that we have been put in the r\osl-i tién of ‘squealers’ This squealing has | come from men on the outside and should be taken for what 1t is worih. JLet me again say that the team heartily supports | Mr. Butterworth and that we do not hold him responsible for our defeat. We were defeatetl fairly and squarely and have no excuses to offer.” This statement on the partof Berkeley’s captain is a practical iteration of what ap- pearedin a recent issue of THE CALL with regard to the feeling of tue footbal men toward Butterworth, notwithstanding the various lengthy printed reports to the contrary. The sting of defeat is gradually wearing off, and the students are becoming regon- ciled to their fate. Yesterday was the first day of eollege since the game, arrd a more quiet and reserved set of students the walls of the university neversaw.

L—A mortgage was placed on record to-day from Senator Stewart ot Nevada to the Alameda Bank of Savings for $5000 for several lots in Alameda.

L—A man named Jolin Ferrin, having been arrested for embezzlement, it has been reported that the cefendant was P. P. Ferron. Mr, Ferron is not the man, and the report has been contradicted: FOR UNITY OF ACTION, Permanently Organized Body to Fight Agnainst the Saloons Outside of Politics.

BERKELEY, Cav., Dec. 1.—Citizens of | Berkeley‘are in hopes that the proposed bill which provides for the redistricting of Alameda County so as to bring the en- tire town of Berkeley within one County Supervisorial, one Senatorial and one As- sembly distrjct will b> passed at the next Legisiature. The town is now divided as to ail three of these, and, in_consequence, it is said that it loses the political strength to which it isentitled. In the matter of Bupervisorial, Senatorial and Assembly districts, the university town is now tacked to different portions of Oakland, so that its influence as a town, in so far as it may have differences with Oakland, is lost. ° Another cause for complaint is the con- fusion of boundaries that has resulted in the extension of the town boundaries and irom the division into wards, the dividing lines of which do not coincide with those of any of the election districts. Berke- ley’s representatives in the coming Legis- lature will work for the correction of all those present defects in the election dis- trict lines, and in (doing so may, it is be- lieved, encounter some opposition from Oakland, as the proposed changes will de- tract to a certain extent from the political influence of that city. Resolutions Passed. BERKELEY, CAL., Dec. L.—The Asso- ciated Students at the Btate University have passed a set of resoiutions, in whic their esteem for Dr. J. H. C. Bonte, the recently deceased secretary of the Board of Regents, is set forth and their sym- pathy for his family is made known. A copy of the resoiutions is to be for to the family of the dead secretary. —————— A Hole in His Skull OAKL AND, Carn., Dec. 1.—Frank Rose, a car-cleaner, has returned to his work with a hole in his skull from which he suffers no inconvenience. Roses’ case is | considered remarkable by Drs. Meiggs and Holmstead, who attended him. and a bolt penetrated the skull. 'The hole was perfectly round and about two inches in diameter. The broken piece was removed at the hospital, and contrary to expectations the patient rapidly re- covered. A small portion of the brain matter was also removed, but it did not affect Rose. The hole in his skull is no lukr;ger painful and is merely covered with skin, The Count’s Widow Marries. OAKLAND, COAn, Dec.

A Not long ago it was found that he was liv- ing in Central America, where he owned thousands of acres of coffee plantations and other profitable investments. Soon after his whereabouts was discov- ered he was attacked with a serious illness, and was informed by his medical adviser that he had not long to live. A few months ago, without any warning, he re- turned to Ban Francisco as suddenly as he had left. It was somewhat difficult | for his wife, who still resides in this city, to realize that he was her long lost hus- band, who for many years had been re- garded asdead.

Case That Is Unparalleled in the History of Local Ju- risprudence. The Action Taken to Be R:lieved From Paying an Exorbitant - Rate of Interest. One of the most extraordinary cases and one that is perbaps unparalleled in the history of local jurisprudence came before Justice of the Peace Barry yester- day afternoon. Some weéks ago the legal minds who practice in the Police courts were startled when Prosecuting Attorney Dare of Judee Joachimsen's court discovered in an old statute that there was such an offense as rout; or, in other words, an unexecuted ‘risk, and two men were arrested and charged with the offense. The cases are still vending. Justice of the Peace Barry’s case will be considerably more of a surprise to the legal profession and the public generally, as it 1s probably the first of its kind on record. Itis nothing more nor less than a man suing himself, or in other words he is both plaintiff and defendant in the suit. C. A. Reynolds is employed in the Custom-house. On Septewnber 29 last he sold his warrant for $120 to Joseph E. Bierand M. M. Regensburger, tradinz as money-brokers in the name of Bier & | Regensburger. He got the money and as security he gave them his note, payable one month after date, for the amount, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent per month, compounded monthly after October 30. When Reynolds got his warrant from ‘Washington he cashed it as usual and failed to hand over the amount to Bier & Regensburger. Since then they have been pressing him for payment, and he, alarmed at the ex- orbitant rate of interest, consulted an at- torney, and the resuit was the filing of a suit against himself in Justice Barry’s coart. In tie complaint the circumstances of tae sale of the warrant, the granting of the promissory note as security, the rate of interest compounded and other facts are given, and then Reynolds confesses judgment agamst himself in favor of ier & Regensburger for $120 principal and $6 interest, the first month's interest of $5 having been deducted from him at the time he sold his warrant and procured the money. The object of Reynolds thus suing him- self is to save himself from paying what he considers a most exorbitant rate of in- terest, because by thus confessing judg- ment for $126 Bier & Regensburger from this date can only ciaim from him the usual legal rate of interest of so much per cent per annum, Thecode makes provi- sion for such a case, and also for a man who wants to save himself from incurring heavy attorney’s fees. Borrowers who are laboring under a heavy rate of interest have now a prece- dent for their relief, and they. will live to call the name of Reynolds blessed. It is said that Bier & Recensburger threaten to have Reynolds arrested for collecting ths amount of his warrant, but it is doubtful if they can find an offense mentioned fo suit the case. PRESENTATION TO GIBSON The Electric-Car Men Remember One of Their Superiors in a Substan- tial Manner. W. F. Gibson, who occupied the posi- tion of car dispatcher for the electric-car line of Mission street, with the brach lines | runping thereto, all of which are housed {in the carhouse at Twenty-ninth and | Mission streets, retired from the com- | pany’s service yesterday. On his depar- ture the conductors and motormen, to the number of 300, presented him with an elegant gold watch-and chain, with a charm of the Knights of Pythias attached. The presentation speech was made by | Conductor William Kelso on behalf of | bis comrades. After as many of the hands as could be ! spazed from the running cars had as- sembled in the carhouse Mr. Kelso ad- dressed his late superior inthe following words: Dear Sir; We the employes of the Mission- street branch of the {!srnmlreet Railway { Company have assemblcd here to express our sincere regret on this the eve of your depart- ure from among us. While you have put forth your utmost efforts to promote the very best inrerests of this company, you have also given kind consideration toward your subor: dinates. You were firm, yet considerate; if we had a grievance, you tried tomake it right; | if we had & request to make, you would grant it 1f possible; you always had & kind word and look for each and every one of us. You have tried to make men of us, both physically, mentaliy and morally. You have made us feel that we were not your subordinates, but that we were human beings like yourself— that we had hearts that could feel, and minds that could reason. ‘When we look around this comfortable and commodious writing-room and see our gar- ments neatly hanging on the wall, our papers, our magazines, our toilet soaps and brushes, our tables and fireside games, & place for | everything and everything in its place, we know that your kind consideration for our comfort has done this. It is like home to those of us who have not a home to go to—to those of us whose parents may be far across | the plains or over the brinyocean. We can | look back with pleasure and say that we have been treatea humanely and justly. And now allow me, in behalf of the employes of .he Mis- sion-street carhouse, to present you with this | token of our esteem, which we trust you will { kindly accept, not for its intrinsic value, but for the spirit in which it Is given; and wher- ever you may be placed or whatever position you may be called upon to fill, it is our sincere wish that you and your family may have health, happiness and success. In response Mr. Gibson, who had been much affected, responded in suitable lan- guage, thanking the men for their kind- ness to him on his retirement from the comgany that he had been connected with for the past thirteen years. A line was formed, and as each mai passed and shook the hand of him who bad sent them outeach morning to per- form their day’s duty, all wished him suc- cess in his future undertaking. George W. Debenham, who held the position of dispaicher on the Valencia- street line, has taken Gibson’s place. - THE PROHIBITIONISTS. - A Meeting Whereat They Desired to Impose Conditions on the Anti- Saloon League.
