GEORGE W, MEADE HAS PASSED AWAY He Was Prominent Among the California Mer- chants. | Pioneered the Way to Eastern 1 Markets for Many Home | Products. | Restless and Enterprising He Engaged in Large Schemes and Won and Lost Fortunes. | George W. Meade 18 dead. He wasone of the most enterprising of California merchants. He is credited with having | been the pioneer in the matter of the in- troduction of California dried fruits to | the Eastern market. In this line while | others followed him hestood pre-eminent. business in this City ran into large figures. Early seeing the merite of and possibili- ties for California dried fruits, he also be- lieved in the future of California raisins. | health was not restored but his eneray re- Meade block was built by George W. Meade. Money was made quite rapidly. Mr. Meade had a handsomie residence in this City and also built up an expensive place at Sausalito, which still reminds the passer of his enterprise. He tbrived until he loaded up too heavily with California projects. Then he was forced to the wail. He had worked hard and his health wWas undermined. He had literally worked himself out, for during this period he was concerned also in Fresno raisin growing and was travel- ing indetatigably, trying to extend the market. He went to Europe and tried to recover his health, passing two years abroad. When he returned to California his mained the same. He went to Redlands and engaged in real estate speculations and other enterprises and bade fair to re- trieve his broken fortunes and to win another. Once more, however, he was Joaded up too heavily, and dull times and interest moneys were too much for him. He died at Los Angeles Saturday last. He leaves a widow and three surviving chil- aren. Two children died some years ago and are buried in this city. Mr. Meade's age was abogut 45. STRUCK BY A STREETCAR Little Francis Mohr Was Run Down and Injured on Bran- nan Street. He Was Gathering Coal and Wood for His Mother When the Accident Occurred. . A NEW PASTOR T0 A NEW PULPIT The Third Swedenborgian Church Society of This City, Rev. J. S. David, Called From Portland, Has Come to Lead It. Meetings to Be Held in a Private Residence Until Larger Quar- ters Are Provided. Rev. J. 8. David has just come here from Portland, Or., as the accepted pastor ot the recently organized Third Sweden- borgian Church. The new society was established three months ago, with a membership of thirty followers of the teachings of Swedenborg. It has been holding regular meetings at the residence of Mrs. Louderback, at 837 Post street. It will continue to hold them there for a while until the present nu- of a larger congregation to come The new pastor, the first one the new church has had, was called here to under- take the work. He is accompanied by his wife and little son, Rev. Mr. David is & native of Nova Sco- tia, where he lived for the first twenty-fiye years of his life. He is now forty-four years of age. First he was a Wesleyan Methodist preacher in Nova Scotia. After leaving his native country he entered the Convention Theological School of the new church located at Boston. Subsequent to being graduated he took up the work of the Swedenborgian Church in Maine and preached in that State for two years. He then preached for three years in Toronto, Ont., for four years in Minneapolis, and iatierly for three years in Portland. Three years ago, just before his call to Portland, he preached for a few months in_the First Swedenborgian Church, on O'Farrell street, in this City. In addition to his uew church duties here he proposes to travel over the State as a so-called missionary preacher, and will do such work particularly in the towns about San Francisco bay. He hopes also to devote some of his time to occa- sional work in Oregon, where he was very successful in spreading the princivles of the new church and n organizing numer- ous reading societies for the furtherance of the teachings of Swedenborg. The first sermon of the new Third Swe- denborgian Church will be delivered next Sunday evening at 857 Post street, Serv- ices will begin at 7:45 o’clock and will be open to all. Butte County Timber Cases. Louis Brodt and 0. M. Enslow were yester- day arraigned before District Judge Morrow and pleaded not guilty to charges of perjury in making false entries on timber lands in Butte County. They pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case promises to be of con- siderable interest, as the men are accused of endeavoring (o secure ns timber land prop- erty that had been taken up years ago as min- eral land and upon which are several valu. able gold mines and valuible mining and milling plants, water ditches, ete. gl i James McDevitt’s Will. BEANSTON WILL MAKE A CONTEST Two Secretaries in the Board of Education Rooms. Charles Welch, the New Ap- pointee, Must Take Legal Steps, The Man Who Has Been Declared an “Out” Says That He Is Still L Two men, both of whom claim posses- sion of the office of secretary of the Board oi Education, are holding forth in the rooms of the board in the City Hall, and it is certain that neither will give in until the courts decide which is entitled to the position and emoluments. Charles Welch, who was appointed on Monday to succeed George Beanston, the incumbent for many years past, is in possession of the outer office, where the assistant secretaries do their work, and nouncing my dismissal—at least, I am so informed by competent legal authority. “The office of secretary of the Board of Education is a statutory one, created by the Legislature, and I am under bonds of $3000 for the faithful performance of my duty. I would think that I was hardly doing the right thing by my bondsmen if I went out without being certain that my dismissal was legal. I shall pay no atten- tion to requests to vacateand will wait for the other side to take action.” Superintendent Babcock says that he had not the slightest intention of appoint- ing a successor to School Director Hal- stead in cuse the latter was unable throngh sickness tc qualify. He considers Mr. Halstead a personal friend and would bave appointed him to the vacancy had he failed to qualify on time. In case of a fatal termination of Mr. Halstead’s illness the duty of appointing his successor will devolve on the Superin- tendent. HE DIED IN THE VAN. A Lottery Ticket Peddler Expires While On His Way to the Receiving Hospital. Asthma claimed another victim yester- day morning. John W. White, a colored man 60 years of age, who made his living by selling lottery tickets, was arrested Monday night while he was plying nis trade, and after a few hours’ sojourn in the dark damp cells of the Southern Po- lice station he was conveyed to better office at'the main quarters.

The progress of the work in the dome was ex- plained to the Mayor and he asked many questions as to the time it would take to | finish the tall superstructure. The fence that hides from public view the rotunda of the dome interested him varticularly and he was anxious to know Low soon it could be removed.

He left his impress on many communities, In addi- tion to his operations in San Francisco and Fresno he was an active mover in the early history of Santa Barbara.

In his later years he engaged largely in real estate dealing and building at Redlands, where he was, as he had been elsewhere, a leading figu He was not contented with advertising his own products in the East. Wherever he went he succeeded through interviewers, whoalways found him ready and agreeable, in making knowwu tue climate and produc- tion of the State, and his gracious if en- | thusiastic statements undoubtedly caused many Eastern people to visit California and to make investments here. Many stories could be told concerning his shrewdness, and many more could told illustrdtive of his geniality and nni- form kinduness, by which_he won hosts of friends without effort. He lived in Cali- fornia about twenty-five years. He was | burn in Toledo, Ohio, and” came to this State in 1871. He was at first engaged in fruit-raising at Santa Barbara. e also passed a short time at Santa Rosa. The greater part of the time that he resided in this State he made San Francisco his business headquarters, In this City he was first connected with Littlefield, Webb & Co., commission mer- chants, and while with that firm he learned much about the fruit business. | Messrs, Webb and Carr died and Mr. Littlefield sold out to George W.

He was rolled over and bruised to such an extent that he had to be conyeyed to the Receiving Hospital for treatment. Dr. Fitzgibbon found no broken bones, but there are indications that the lad was injuaed internally. No arrests have been made, and no ac- tion in that line will be taken unless the child should die.

The charge for the same offense against Vaughn Karns, the son, was ignored. T.e other indictment was against Wil- liam E.

Mr. Beanston asked that he be allowed to keep his desk until everything was in proper shape, and his request was acceded to by Mn Welch. Yesterday Beanston had a consulta- tion with nis attorney and was advised that Superintendent of Schools Babcock, who ordered his retirement, had no legal authority to take such.a step, and he was a dvised to retain his records and other do cuments until forced to leave Ly force or legal measures., In'the meantime Mr. Welch had quali- fied, and when he heard of Mr. Beanston’s move, held a consuitation’ with a number of members of the new board, with Su- perintendent Babcock and finally with Anorne{ Vogelsang, who is the new board’s legal adviser. Both the board and Mr. Babcock ac- knowledged Mr. Welch as the secretary, and the attorney advised him that his ap- pointment was perfectly legal. He made another demand for his office, but was met with a refusal, Mr. Beanston an- nouncing that he would keep possession until ousted. The employes of the office were some- what in a quandary as to what to doin the matter, the new appointees siding with Mr. Welch, the otbers staying by Mr. Beanston, who went on with his work as if nothing had bappened. Mr. Weleh is evidently under the im- pression that the man he desires to suc- ceed will walk out to-day, when a formal proceeding in ejectment 1s taken. In this he will be disappointed, as the | veteran secretary says that he will stay at his post until removed by iorce or.the process of the court. ~‘Superintendent Babcock is a de facto officer of this board,” he said, ‘“‘and as such has exceeded his authority in an- were crowded into a three-quarter bed.
