He believes that there are | great possibilities for the successful de- | velopment of the chestnut industry in Culiforni [ since the soil and climaie in | certalnportions of the Staté are admira- | bly adapted for their growth, and since | the demand for the “nut 1% becoming | i greater and greater each year. “These which I have brought with me,” said he, “were grown at Middle Fork, Amador County, -about -six miles fron { Jackson, at an altitude of 18,000 feet, The | trees from which they came were planted | in deep red soil, and ‘were several years i old. |~ “This particular section in which they grew seemed to be the naturat home of ine chesinut, because the trees are seed- lings and sprang up of their own accord from nuts thrown out by an Lialian rancher. “The nuts are as good as any 1 have ever seen and I anticipate a boom for | chestnuts in the Staie if the proper lo- calities ara chosen for their growth, Fruitgrowers will do well to’ look into the possibilities for the nut in Caliornia at east.’”’ NOMIWATED F03 A JOKE | But Now Martin Egan Has to Face a Very Serious Complication. | | | Deputy Clerk Ho lani Is Anxious for 1 an Affidavit From Candidats ‘ Georgze Hatton. | OAxLAND OFFICE Saw FRANCISCO CALL,| i 908 Broadway, Feb. 1. § | Martin Egan, the Democratic nominee | for Library Trustee. is the most uneasy | man in town.

Not until the chairman anpounced the name of the choice of the convention did Mr. Egan fully under- stand what was going on. He then at- tempted to make a little explanation to the coairman, but all that could be heara was the word “joke.” “There is nothing jocular about this convention,” said Chuirman Coogan; *we are here on serious business,” ana before Egzan could recover :he secretary had cast the ballot of the convention for Library Trustees. Egan demanded an explanation from Luttrell and the Judge stated that one of his friends had been to him and toid him { that Mr. Egan was very desirous of the nomination and was particularly anxious that Mr. Luttreil should place his name | belore the convention. Egzan at once de- | manded to know the name of the friend, but the Judve scenting trouble refused to | divulge it.

Stormy Mreting of the Preshy- tery, Resulting in a Pas- toral Deadlock. S quel to the Strained Relations B:tween the Doctor and His Church OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Feb. 1. The Oakland Presbytery met in the Cen- tennial Presbytarian Church to-night with ecighteen members present and a very large attendance of lay members of the lo- cal organization. The call was for the consideration of the report of a special committee appointed at Berkeley last De- cember on the relation of Rev. Dr. Ellis and the church. Dr. Ellis read the following sensational charges against some of the deacons of nis church To the Presbytery of Oakland, Fathe Brethren—GREETING: In behalf 0f tie session and iu the interest of Centennial Presbyterian Church I herewita transmit to you facts which call for your serious consideration. As n session we are powerless to d.scnarge the duty incambent upon us under the law of the church, and our effort to discharge our duty is without effect, and for cause 10 wit: A want ol harmony and co-operation among the ruliug elders of the session, as will appear irom the following facts: On the evening of January 6, 1897, the ses- sion convened 1o try tosecure peace and recon- ciliation in the church, to which meeting three of the young people were invited. The young people were present, and with them some of their friends. The meet- ing became & scene of confusion on account of want of hurmony and uuity Among the ruling eliers. The chief cause of excitement and contusion beiug the conduct of Eider G. S. Prosser and Eider H. 8. Hastings. The former by word and spirit sought to criminate the moderator, the pastor-elect of the churcl:, and the latter sought to criminate both pastor-elect and the presbytery. Referring to the action of the presbytery of December 16, 1896, Eider H. S. Hastings de- nounced the report of the presbytery bearing upon the interests of the Centenuial churca as “a welghit over our héads,” *a ring in our " “a gag in our mouths ” The result was the youug peopls were definat of the s sion and dec.ar-d their intention to soremain and are doing <0 at the present time. These facts 1 relate for the information of the presbytery, praying for such direction as the wisdom of your worthy body may efford as 1o now to proceed in the discharge of duty and for the we.fare of the church committed to my pastoral care, and for such relief as to your judgment seems best. Iam sincereir, Joux W. Eruis. The report of the spectal committee made no recommendation, but asked the Presbytery to decide for itself. The De- cember meeting decided that the relation existing be aliowed to stand until the spring meeting, in April. Dr. Ellis has neld the call for eighteen months without instaliation, and refused to surrender or ask for installation. To-night the Presbytery reconsidered its action at Berkeley, and then the trouble begar. E der Prosser then stated that a large | number of the members did not want Dr. | Eliis installed, and then read a petition of two deacons, all of the elders and a ma- | jority of the trustees, besides ninety mem- bers, asking that the call extended eigh- teen montns ago be returned to the con- gregation. Elder Warren thought the request reas- onable and shouid be granted. If tue doctor wanted to he might keep the call four vears and then not accept. This brought Dr. Eliis to his feet with | the charges. A motion to request tke re- | turn of the call to the Presbytery by Dr. Ellis was voted down after a lengiby and heated discussion and the motion to give he doctor tntil tue spring meeting 10 ac- cept or reject the same was defeated. This put the presbytery in a peculiar | position and caused ‘a lengthy debate as to their exact position. Moderator Brush | of Alameda states that Dr. Eilis must either accept or reject the call at once as | the presbytery refused to grant him any further time. Dr. Eliis then asked that it be referred | to the congregation for a vote, stating that he would know what to do in that| way. He stated positively time and again that he did not want nor would be in- | | is gradually sliding away. stalled. He accepted the call with the understanding that he would have until | April to compiete his work, when he would leave. Before the vote was taken and after Dr. Eilis’ charges against the members of the | church had been read the moderator | stated that “No one can be biased by | promiscuous charges made without proof | at this stage of the meeting."’ Mr. Prosser then asked the chair what relation existed between the church and Dr. Ellis, but no one could answer him. It was suggested that the congregation hold a meeting Wednesday night next to consider the matter. adjourned at 12 o’clock it was with tne of the moderator. In the meantime the relations of the pastor, the congregation and the presby- tery to each other are indefinite, out as an’eller expressed it, “We just know enough to keep us quarreling.” Mr. Hastings calied on Dr. Ellis just be- fore the anjournment and notified him that he wouid be held sirictly to account if he pave the charges to the press. Dr. Eliis simply replied, ‘I am ready to swear to them. Both gentiemen are well-known Chris- tian men of standing, and they replied that they had tie entire confidence of the congregation, and that no such charge will ever be proved against them, AN UNHAPPY BRIDE Committed t;—a—n;sane Asylum Five Days Aiter Her Marriage. She Lost Reason Because ot Religious Excitement and B:came Very Violent. OAKLAND, CaL, Feb. 1L—Five days ago O.lie May Miller, a young lady of Williams, Cnlusa County, married Wil- liam Rourke at Sacramento. The voung couple camo to Oakland last Tharsday to stay a few days with W. A. Young on Ninth street, West Oakland. The day after their arrival Mrs. Rourke became nysterical and gave way to a religious mania until she became violent.

At times the yourng bride tried to bite people and would not take any food, thinking that people wers trying to poison her. She threatened to cut out the heart of her at'endant, and her condi | to bave ber examined by the Lunacy tion became 0 bad that it was necessary Commissioners, and to-day she was com- mitted to the asylum. She is but 22 years of age.

Her bus- band is a young farmer residing near Colusa. —————— That Street Contract. OAKLAND, CaL, Feb. 1.—The City Councii met to-night to consider the alter- ing of a bid for street work after the con- tract had been le. The contract read *'4000 feet of curbing at 8 9-10 cents,” and followed otner bids for the sume street at so much per foot. The curbing item was followed by no ditto marks and conse- quently the whole contract was let for 8910 cents. Some time later it was discovered that the ditto marks had been inserted, and the Council inspected the bid to-night with magnifying glasses and agreed that the marks had been inserted after the contract had been awarded, and tbat the amount to_be paid for the work was but a total of $9-10 cents, and the Street Superintendent was ordered to make out the assessment accordingly. Gray Bros. were the contractors, Cohen in More Trouble, OAKLAND, Car., Feb. 1.—A dispatch from Tacoma published in to-day’s papers about Meyer Cohen, Who 1s under arrest at Tacoma on a charze of embezziement, re- calis the circumstances under which Cohen left Oakland. About a yearago he had arranged to wed Miss Greenberg of San Jose, but at the hour set for the wedding Cohen did not appear, and it was found that he had gone north to avoid some e planation regarding the signing of certain checks. His prospeciive father-in-law swore outa wartent for Cohen’s arrest, and it would have peen served had not Cohen threatened to have Greenberg arrested for opening a stamped letter which came to Greenberg's house. The case wasdropped. Now Cohen 1s in jai! again. N SECRET SESSION, The Municipal League Has Opened Its Exciusive Con- vention, R. Thomas N.cm:nated for Mayor, Dow for City Attornev and Wilson for Enzineer. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Feb. 1. | The Municipal League commenced its convention to-night at Masonic Temple. The proceedings are all secret and not even a list of delegates has been made publiz. Much lessinterest was manifested In the proceedings than in former years, as the main strength of the league allied with the regular Republicans at their party coaven- tion two weeks azo. The work of nomination went along very smoo thly till the Councilmen were reached. W. R. Thomas was indorsed for Mayor, W. A. Dow for City Attorne: R. Wilson for City Engineer, R. W. Snow Xlo' Auditor, and Z. T. Gilpin for Tax Col- ector. Much wrangling ensued over the nomi- nations for Councilmen and several names | noton any ticket were put forward. It | was finolly decided that notning more | should be done till the Republicans had completed their ticket. The indorsem:nt of the league is not considered by candi- dates to be of much value, while a few have expressed a desire not to be in- dorsed. The secrecy ovserved by the | league two years ago destroyed to a great extent public confidence and led to the defeat of J. W. Nelson, its candidate for Mayor. GENUINE DEATH-TRAP. An Alkall Hill on the County Road Slides Into a Canyon Near Livermore. OAKLAND, CaL, Feb. 1.— The con- | tractors who are repairing the county highway in Dooling Canyon have dis- covered a hill about 200 feet in height that This peculiar moving mass of earth is on Thomas Croach’s land, about three miles west of Livermore. The county road runs along the eastern slope of the hill, ana just below the road at the bottom of the canyon 15 a small running creek. For several years past the land has taken periodical slides. In July last an underground cut | was made that carried thousands of tons of an alkali formation toward the little creek. Since then it has climbed up the hill and drawn down the road ata point that has made passage for teams almost | impossible. On Tuesday last Roadmaster McCloud visited the scene und witnessed the im- mense underground flow of earth that is settled at the bottom of the canyon. The formation is of a grayish color and seem- ingiy of a solid nature, but it is said to be a veritable deathtrap. Itis the alkalicov- ering that gives it the terra firma appear- ance, and should any one attempt to cross When the meeting | 0¥ 0ne_of a number of such places Le would sink to a depth of twenty feet or understandicg that they meet at the call : s The cause of the slide is attributed to a soring or a number of spring- tnat have a perpetual flow which gravity has given an outlet underneath the road. It will only be a matter of time until the whole hill slides into the canyon. The contractors have a force of men at work at the scene piling and bridging. A bridge sixteen feet wide and forty-five feet long is in course of construction and is being put up at en elevation that will per- mit the sliding earth to_pass uaderneath, and unless it moves in larger bodies than heretofore it will not harm the bridge.

It Is Reported That a Number of Them Were Caus:d by Ime pure Milk. BERKELEY, CaL., Feb. 1.—Typhoid fever, which is now prevalent in Berkeley, has been the cause of much alarm on the part of the nas of the afflicted ones, The apparent cause of two cases has been traced to typhoid bacilli in the milk used by the patients. A hittle daughter of one of the university professors was stricken down a few days ago and the attending physician, rpon examination of the milk used, stated that disease germs were to be found in it. He isnow making a scientific test of the miik in' questiol so as to be certain of his ground before condemning the dairy from which it was received. Health Officer Rowell is making a round of investigation into the causes of | the epidemic. About twenty cases of the fever have been reported within the last iwo weeks. Students Arrested. BERKELEY, CaL., Feb, L.—Dispatches from Harvard University announce the arrest of two California students for using firearms in the city Limits. They are Stanley Hollister of Santa Barbara and Charles Bull of Belmont. Both were fined $15. Youny Hollister is we!l known in Berke- ley, having been a student some years ago in Botts’ Gymnasium. He was prominent in social and atnletic circles and after graduation left for Harvard, The trou- oles in which the young man became 1n- volved grew out of a siudent celebration which took place last Tuesday night. At midnight large number of firearms were discharged in celebration of the end of the midyear examinations. Before the affair was over one of the new college buildings was literally ridd!ed with bullet holes and a residence opposite was also perforated, Twenty-five warrants were issued for the arrest of the students having a band in the affair, with the result that Hollister and Bull were among the first to be taken by the rolice. No Basket-Ball. BERKELEY, CaL., Feb. L.—The proba- bility is that there Will be no intercolle- ziate basket-ball game this season, as the one last year seems to have evoked too much publicity for the Berkeley co-eds. The Stanford team seems willing to have another game, and, in fact, a communica- tion has been received from the Palo Alto girls seeking a second contest. The U. C. co-eds will irain, however, for games among themselves and with the teams from the seminaries about the bay, but they declare another intercollegiate match to be out of the question. William Coward Improving. BERKELEY, CaL., Feb. 1L.—William M. Coward, the Berkeley member of the funding bill committee of fifty, who was reported to have gone insane as a result of overwork in his attempt to defeat the bill, is improving. Reports from Stock- ton state that he is less violent, and that he takes 1ood readily. Itis expected that he will be able to be removed before WEEKLY CALL It Publishes the Cream of the News of the Week and MANY ATTRACTIVE AND ORIGINAL FEATURES.
