Health Officer Bradley Says It Is a | Sanitary Need. OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 14.—There was a texaporary breakdown at the new garbage crematory to-day, and the company could not nandle the refuse as fast as it was de- livered. The trouble with the scavengers still continues, and there is & probability that the crematory company will pur- chase all the garbage wagons and do ali ‘the collecting itself. Health Officer Bradley aiscussing the new method of dealing with garbags to- da; “Our department is extending whatever assistance we can to the crema- tofv company, because we believe thatit i great importance, from a sanitary point.of view, that the garbage of the city should be cremated and not allowed to accumulate and breed disease. The people of the city generally should appréciate this and co-operate with us by not placing any obstructions in the way of the com- pany carrying out its contract. The ciematory company is to furnish each bouseholder with an additional receptacle s| An | appoin uation, and I sug- | & 80 that ashes can Be kept separate from the rest of the garbage, and in this way it will not be necessary to sift the material at the crematory, which makes more or less of a nuisance.”” i DR sy MUST ACT SPEEDILY. Little Time Left for Candidates to Buttonhole. OAKLAND, Car., Jan. 14.—To-morrow evening the delegates to the Republican city convention will be announced and the convention will assemble next Monday. There area larce number of men being mentioned for the various offices, but as the delegates are not yet known there will have to be some speedy politics and buttonholing cone between Friday night and Monday evening. : ‘A few of the candidates mentioned for M Auditor Snow, J.

Sl T Heroic Work in Bid Weather by Light- house Keepers, OAKLAND, CaL, Jan. 14.—Lighthouse keeper Charles McCarthy and his assist- ant, George D. Cobb, have rescued four people from probable drowning during the heavy weather. Very frequently the lighthouse men are called upon for as- nce by persons in distress, and during the last month they have rescued two couples. Brennan apd Whipple are two men who were picked up recently wkile cling- ing to their overturned craft, and two others, Breck and Kennedy, were taken off the rocks of the training wall of the estuary. In each case it required consid- erable pluck for the lighthouse keeper to embark in his boat during the heavy gale. But he has always gone when needed, and his conduct merits hearty approval. THE WISER A CHIAMM, Collapse of a Wild Yarn of a Pot of Treasure in an 0ld Well. Intercollegiate Rifle League Started—Memorial Szrvices to the Late Professor Richardson. BERKELEY, OCir, Jan. M4.—Wild jes of the aiscovery in the bottom of & West Berkeley well of a pot of gold and the possibility of there being more tofol- low have been current to-day. Rumors of a miserly lady by the name of Hannsh McCarthy, who aled ten years ago, and who placed her wealth in tomato cans and then dropped them into the hole in the earth; of her sickness and tragic end, and of the long-forgotten hidden treasure, all went to make up a highly colorea tale. Investigation of the case has disclosed the fact that a Chinese servant by the neme of Guey, in the employ of W. A. Titcomb of West Berkeley, came home from San Francisco late one night about two weeks ago with $100 in gold. Depos- iting the coin in & can he placed it on tbe urbing of the well. When he went toget the money in a few days it had fallen into the cavernous depth. An expressman by the name of Davis was yesierday em- ployed to clean the well and fish out the coin. He got the can and $40. He is still engaged in a search after the remain- ing $60. [£] Intercollegiate Riflemen.

Starr of the U. C., who originated the lan of last year, is the prime mover in the sent National League. Associated with the Illinois cadets he completed the organization. The first shoot is to be held in the early spring. All the colleges will contest on the same day, under the same rules, and at their respective shooting | FOUGHT OVER A GIALS LETTER Henry Havens and Ray Torrace Met Out at the Hermitage. A Rejected Lover Said Things for Which He Is Badly Punished. The Cause of the Battle Is Now Being Weoed Back to Life at the Hospital. OARLAND OFFICE AN FRANCISCO Cu.!-‘} 908 Broadway, Jan. 14. There is likely to be serious trouble arise from the shooting of Miss Bertha Hoeper last Monday. The young lady is still in the Receiving Hospital, where she is being gradually nursed back to health, with prospects that she will ultimately re- cover. About three hours before she fired the shot that she intended should end her life she wrote several letters. One of these was addressed to Henry Havens, Fruit- vale. It was not sealed, and the contents showed tnat Miss Hoeper had evidently been approached with an offer of affection from Mr. Havens, which she had spurned. In this letter Miss Hoeper very plainly told Mr. Havens that the man for whom she shot herself, Frank Pretti, had a mortgage on her affections, which he was at liverty to foreclose at any.time, and hinted that Mr. Havens would have to 100k elsewhere for a life partner. These the Justice yesterday. Day took his own commitmentand in company with Messrs. ‘fappan and Simpson, his attorneys, took the car for the jail.

The State League, which has grown to CCRETARY CW.CLOUGH ey Officers of the State Epworth League. circumstances led to a prize-fight Tuesday nicht in the vicinity of the Hermitage, which consisted of eight hard-fought rounds and ended in the defeat of Mr. Havens. Ray Torrace, a friend of Miss Hoeper, heard of some remarks that haa been made by Havens, and he at once con- stituted himself the champion of that young lady. He challenged Mr. Havens to meet him at the Hermitage, and his defi was promptly accepted. On Tuesday evening the two men met, and for nearly an hour they fought like brutes. A description of the scene from some of those who wers present proved that it must have been very repulsive. There was & properly arranged ring, and the ordinary officlals were selected to preside over the contest, and at the end of the elghth round both men were covered with blood, and Torrace was de- clared the winner, as Havens was lying 6n the ground unable to pick himself up. Miss Hoeper sincerely regrets now that she ever wrote those letters, aithough, judging from the daily attention shown her by Frank Preti, the young man whom she wanted to place a white rose in her coffin, it begins to look as though her ranges. The scores made by each will be | dying wish might yet be gratified.

SEEKS A SECUND DIVORCE The Last Attempt No Better Than the First for Mrs, Olsen. L J Sellier Goes to Paris to Interest Foreign Capital in California Mines. ALAMEDA, Cav., Jan. 14.—The divorce case of Dorothea Olsen against her hus- band Peter is on trial in thej Superior Court. Dorothea has seen more than the allotted three score and ten years, while ber husband 1s only 27 years of age. The disparity of ages and incompati- bility of temper brought about a separa- tion and divorce. Then they fel! in love with one another again and were reunited. Then Mrs. Olsen claimed that by false pretenses Peter secured her signature to certain deeds. This caused lots of litiga- tion and this second suit for a divérce. She charges the young spouse with com- ing home late at nights and pounding her with his fists and threatening her with a pistol and butcher-knife. Also with re- fusing to work or stay at home nights, Peter sets up as a defense that he was trying to escape the fury of his wife's tongue and voluntarily sought incarcera- tion in the County Jail, where he worked as cook for his board to escape her wrath. To Form a Syndicate. ALAMEDA, CaL, Jan. 14.—L. J. Sel- lier, who leaves Saturday for Paris, will endeavyor, during his absence, to organize a syndicate to work silver mines in South- ern Californie, which are righ in copper. He has resided in this State since 1878, and in Alameda since early in the ’'80's. He is a graduate of the first mining schools of France and wholly given to his work. “My business is'to secure capital to work & rich field in Southern California,” said ne, “and I expect to organize a syn- dicate which will furnish funds for that work. My life since coming to this State has been a consfant study of the various deposits, and I have concluded that along the coast in Southern Calirornia is some of the richest silver country to be found.” Day Out on a Writ. ALAMEDA, CaL, Jan. 14.—Constable Day was committed to the County Jail for twenty-four hours by Justice Morris this morning for contempt of court. Day re- fused to deliver two prisoners to the jail after sentence when ordered to do so by be a poweriul organization, was organized in this city five years ago. Since its or- ganization the league has rapidly grown and is now in a very flourishing condition all over the State. There are 4000 mem- bers in California, and the attendance at the annual conference will be very large. Many interesting features are being ar- ranged, and several of the best known divines on the coast will attend. General Secretary S. Steel of Nashville, Tenn,, has informed the ccmmittee that he will be present, and as he is regarded as a lead- ing man in the Methodist Church South he will doubtless draw a large gathering. The programme also provides for union meetings with the Oskland Young Men's Christian Association, Christian Endeavor Society, Baptist Union, Epworth League of the Methodist churches and the Broth- erhood of St. Andrew. At the last annual conference it was de- cided to maintain a missionary in some foreign field, and the executive committee has now issued a call for an assessment to raise $500 for the first year. The selection of the misslonary will be made at the June conference, which will convene at Asbury Church on June 10. ‘W. H. Waste, who is president of the local league, is very anxious that this ing shall be representative of the rogress of the church in this State, and Eu is putting forth earnest efforts to bring about that result. ———— An Early Blaze. ALAMEDA, Cavn, Jan. 14—The Fire Department was called out at an early hour this morning in response to an alarm turned in from box 32 by carriers of the morning papers who discovered a blaze in a shed in the rear of Oliver C. Haslett’s residence, 1533 Grand street. Mr. Haslott thinks the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion, as the place was locked when the firemen arrived. It con- tained several tons of coal and some pota- toes. Had the fire not been discovered it would have communicated with the honse. It was extinguished after doing $150 damages. Objects to Municipal Ownership. ALAMEDA, Can, Jan. 14.—Julius Quinchard issues an open letter to-day in which he calls attention to the Municipal Ownership Club’s card published exclus- ively in yesterday’s CALL and accuses them of “moving heaven and earth to perpetu- ate the present iniquitous system of light- ing the streets of Alameda.” He then adds: 3 Do these men who compose said club believe that the great public is merely a collection of asses who will blindly follow their behests? In these eight years the electric light has cost us $200,000, or $25,000 a year, & figure which is big enough to stagger any fair-minded per- son, as the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Com- pany offered over and over again to light the city atabout one-third of the present cost. But then they say that company is a “great corporation’” (of course greedy); but it said corporation will furnish the same light to the city at so much lower figure, then never mjnd what you call it—anything to release us from the incubus of our electric-light plant. He closes with the suggestion that the club submit the controversy to a vote of the people. Ghiglione at Home. ALAMEDA, CAn, Jan. 14. — Mattio Ghiglione, a vegetable-grower of Bay Farm Island, has been absent from home since last Saturday, but returned this afternoon none the worse for wear. His friends have been considerably worked up over his absence, as he had $600 on Saturday. Milo Felice, who has been a fugitive from justice since May, 1894, was a part- ner of Ghiglione. Several anonymous communications have.been received by the latter warning him to beware of his old partner, hence the anxiety when he remained away from home so long. Woodmen of the World. ALAMEDA, CAL., Jan. 14.—The officers of Spruce Camp No. 135, Woodmen of -the World, were installea last evening by Head Manager I. L Boak of Oakland Camp No. 94. The new officers ara: J. A. Col- lins, consul; W. B. Warren, advisor; W. W. Groggin, banker; A. Mack, clerk; C. Peterson, escort: C. Thrane, sentry; C. Burgess, watchman. The exercises were public and a banquet followed. A Berlin shoemaker has invented an artificial stone sole for shoes, composed of & mixture of cement and white quartz sand. It is claimed that a pair of such soles will last for &un. besides being elastic and comfortable to the feet, DEANE ABANDONS THE BIG CONTEST Broderick Actually Gained Ten Votes in 14,000 Ballots. Attorney Schooler Ackncwledges That the Election Was Fair. No Evidences of Fraud Were Dis- covered in Any of the Pre- cincts of the City. “Your Honor, we respectiully move that the contest in the cuse of William A. Deane against William Broderick for the office of Auditor be dismissed and that further proceedings be dispensed with,” said Attorney W. H. Schooler in Judge Trouts’s court yesterday afternoon. Judge Troutt nodded in assent, mur- mured ‘‘So ordered,” and the contest that has been attracting the interest of politi- cians for a great many days was legally at an end, with Broderick ten votes gainer by the recount of 14,000 ballots. Mr. Schooler said quite a mumber of other things, and he sald them hand- somely, in regard to the way in which the recount of votes had been conducted by the court and by the gentlemen on the other side, Mr. Broderick and his attor- ney, Garret McEnerney. An appropriate response was made by Mr. McEnerney, and the court also expressed satisfaction that the recanvass of votes bad shown so good a state of affairs so far as the voters and officers of election were concerned. Mr. Schooler said he felt that he could not let the case close without expressing the feelings of himself and Mr. Deane, “The contest was begun in good faith and was continued until we were convinced that the election was in all respects con- ducted fairly,” said Mr. Schooler. “We have re-examined the votes cast in three full Assembly districts and in seven pre- cincts of the Thirty-seventh and four in the Thirty-eightb. In all we have gone over the records and-tallles of more than 14,000 votes. The original records have been as near right as any one could rea- sonably expect. ,No evidence of fraud has been discovered. “One remarkable thing that has come to my notice is that so many men fail to vote” for any candidate for certain offices on the ticket. One man will omit one office while another man wlll omit a different office altogother. to be the result of design and not of acci- dent, [ should say. Another notable fact is that less than 1 per cent of the voters used pencils for marking their ballots. *‘The net result of the recount shows a change of only ten votes, and this ‘:MKPE it is but fair to say is in favor of Mr. Broderick.” Mr. Broderick was not sorry that the contest was made aud was willing to o ahead if necessary. He was content, how- ever, to stop whenever Mr. Deane thought it advisable to abandon the contest. Mr. Deane said he was induced to enter the contest because of incorrect state- ments made to him by men who pre- tended to have seen crooked work on the part of election officers. These stories proved to be untrue. He was not sorry to learn that the election officers had been proved honestand faithful in the discharge of their arduous duties. PARK FOR WEST OAKLAND The City Council Finally De- cides to Buy a Tract for the Purpose. It Will Be Located Near the Sixteenth- Street Depot—A Happy Conclusion. 0AxLAND OFFIcE SAN FrANcrsco CALz, 908 Broadway, Jan. 14. } West Oakland is to have a park.

Roman Emhassadors sent abroad wore gold rings as a part of their stato dress. Early Celtic rings were made in inter- laced work, often of very intricate pat- terns. The state ring of the Pope is set with a large cameo bearing the portrait of Christ. he ring of the Jewish high priest was invested by tradition with many mystic powers. Greek legends declare that the mystic ring of Gyges, the King of Lydia, made the wearer invisible. Down to the sixteenth century every physician in Eurcpe wore a ring as a badge of his profession. In the later Roman empire rings cut from solid stones, generally agate or onyx, became fashionable. Lorenzo de Meaici wore a ring that, ac- cording to tradition, had once belonged to the. Emperor Nero. Most of the medieval kings wore and used signet rings because they were un- able to write their own names. Anglo-Saxon rings were fashioned after knotted cables, the knot being worn on the outside of the hand.
