Frank Angeli Was Taken in Italy for an American 0 ficial. Judge Wood Highly Amused at the Stoty Told by the R:turned Trav L.r. OAKLAND UFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,] 908 Broadway, Feb. 23. | Frank Angeli returned from Italy yes- terday and told Judge Wood this morning 8 mos: remarkable story of the effect on Italian officials of an Oakland permit to carry a revolver. A few months ago Angeli wanted to re- turn home and visit Lis native land. He seemed to have the idea that all manner of difficulties requiring heroic settlement might be met with between California and sunny Itaiy. He told his troubles to Judge Wood and askea for permission to Angeli was told thatas limits the ¢rmit would avail him nothing. But he persisted in his request. Judge Wood took him to Mayor Davie ond explained the situation, and to satisfy a8 permit was given him which weas gned by the Mayor and the Judge. An- | geli went to Italy and returned a couple ofdays ago. He went to Judge Wood and told the following tale: “I had no difficulty about a passport,”’ said Angeli; “wherever 1 went I showed | nit, and it was at once accepted. s officials looked at it, and after g it bowed most politely to me and made it appear as though it were a per- sonal favor of me to pass on and not re- qutre them to search my trunks or ask me for other papers. When I got home every- body examined this piece of paper, and at once I noticed that they thoughtlwasa very prominent man. 1 did not under- stand why this was so, and think the Judg M have made a me sometning else than rmit to carry a gun. Icannotread English on my paper, but I had some write it for me in [talian.” Being greatly interested in the map’s , Judge Wood and the Mayor care- examined the permit to-day and li. in order to have mat- avoid any possible aiffi- requested a friend who could glish to write on the back the fact s attested by the Mayor and the e Judge. The friend, either for a joke. or through ignorance, had written something which made it appear that Ancell was the Mayor and Police Judge the city of Oakiand, and on this show- 3 he. appears to_have received many favors. ~Neither Judge Wood nor the Mayor is yet able to explain why a permit tg carry a pistol in Oakland should have been considered of any value, even with an Italian inaorsement, outside its boun- | " daries, but Angeli was evidently telling truth, and the officias consider that joke is one of the best yet reported. When Eatified Will Go Into Effect—The ¥ield Day. BERKEL CAvL, Feb. 23.—A new compact to govern athletic contests ba- | wween Stanford Univers: and the Uni- versity of Caiifornia until January 1, 1900, | Las been drawn up by representative ath- | letes of botn institutions, and will, upon | ratification by the executive committees | of the Palo Alto and the Berkeley student | bodies, g0 into operation for the present sea‘or. This year’s very imporiant intercollegi- day will take place in this city on 117, addition to the set rules formulated, | the committees discussed and expressed opinions on other athletic maiters affect- | iate sport. The University of Calitornia representatives suggesied the propriety of doing away with Eastern fodtball coaches, but Stanford saw no ®ood reason for changing the present plan, and there the matter was left. Stanford’s three represeniatives at this ce, which was held at the Uni- versity Club on Saturday evening, were ex-Football Cantain and_ present Senior- Class President Charles M. Fickert, who was chairman of the meeting; ex-Football Manager, ex-Track Captain aad present Track Manazer Dave E. Brown, and “Heff”” Williams, the Varsity center rush. Berkeley's three representatives were Professor George . Edwards; ex-Football | Manager and ex-Varsity-Tackle George F. Reinnardt, who acted as secretary of the meeting, and ex-Track Captain and Foot- ball Manager-elect Everett Brown, a brother of Stanford’s star mile runner, and a mile runner himselt. This committee recommended that *‘When circumstances permit there shail be an annual intercollegiate boat race.” The wording of this recommendation is plainly a victory for Stanford inasmuch 25 Berkeley had continually demanded t her rival come to tune with a crew, le the Palo Alto men have auietly rted thet conditions at present made atracing an_impossibility for Stanford, | Three special amenaments were made to the football agreement.

WAKT 1O BECOISIOER Are Politics Overshadowed by the Sunday - Closing Question ? Frickstadt’s Attempt to Undermine Thomas Has Acted as a Boom- erang. OAxrAND OrrFicE Sax Fraxcrsco CALL,} 908 Broadway, Feb. 23. The fight over the closing of the saloons on Sunday is now the most important feature in politics. So intense has become the feeling over this question that every- | thing else is subordinated to it, and any candidate who will uncompromisingly declare that he is in favor of Sunday- closing, and will so vote, could certainly command an enormous block of votes. Ex-President Walter G. Manuel, one of those who voted against submitting the question to the people aiter promising to do so, published a long letter to-day in which he made some replies to the min- isters’ severe criticisms of last Sunday, and declares his willingness if & special meeting of the Council be calied to cbange his vote and let the people decide the matter. Mr. Manuel's expianation is ina great measure a vindication of his action, and he dec:ares that he had no idea that so many people wanted the question sub- mitted to them, otherwise e would cer- tainly have favored it. He declares that he has been grossly misrepresented from the pulpits and that bis record during four years should be considered. Manuel has asked President Mott to call a gpecial meeting ot the Council in order to reconsider the question, but Mr. Mott has not yet consented 0 4o 50, It 18 reported this afternoon that the Pro- testant ministers will hold a meeting at once and discuss the metirods which it is considered advisable to pursue in their campaign against the saloons. It was reported that the ministers would at this mee ing support Captain Thomas for Mayor, but thbis statement is prema- ture, as no such decision has been ar- rived at. During the past week a circular signed by T. C. Frickstadt and addressed to the voters of Oaklaud has been freely circu- lated and sent to the newspaper offices, containing an attack upon Captain W. R. ‘I nomas, Republican candidate for Mayor. The story 1s that of an old real estate deal and has been amply refuted on every pos- sible occasion during the past four yesrs. There was some trouble at the time be- tw Frickstadt and Thomas, and at Frickstadt's request it was mutually agreed to leave the matter 1o a committee of his own selection, who reported that after as exhaustive an_investigation as possible tney unhesitatingly exonerated Messrs. Benham and Thomas, and this opinion wes concurred in years ago by Judge Havens, Fricksiadt’s attorney. Under these circumstances common de- cency would have suggested that Frick- stadt should have let the matter rest, es- vecially as he himsel! sustained all that Mr. Thomas had said by placing the property on the market under precisely the same conditions under which it was represented to him. This underhand attempt to injure the Republican candilate has belped rather than hurt Captain Thomas' cause. The Republican City Central Commit- tee bas indorsed Gi es H. Gray to fiil the vacaucy for 8chool D rector caused by the resignation of Dr. McMullin, Mr. Gray will nov appear on the ticket as the Re- publican candidate, as it is too late to make the change, but the fact will be borne in mind that every vote for Dr. Mc- Mullin is wasted. The Portuguese Central Republican Club of Oakland will hold iis regular meetin on Wednesaay, the 24th inst., in its hall on Pacific street, near Campbeil. The ex- ecutive commiitee has invitea all the Republican candidates to be present, F. J. Cunha is chairman and A. O, Perry sec- retary of the club. There will be a mass-meeting of the People’s party at Hanson Hall, West Oak. land, to-morrow evening. J. A. Hennessy will call the meeting to order ut 7:30 and the following popular candidates will make addresses: 8. Goodenough, J. K. Peirsol, J. B. McMath, J. F. Gallmann, J L. Maynard, ey An effort is being made to-night to ge- cure sufficient signatores to a call for a special meeting of the City Council on Thursday evening. It is the desire of some of the members who opposed it a week ago, to now submit the question of Bun- day closing to the voters at the municipal election. "Councilman Brosnahan stated to-night that the law requiring the clerk to begin mailing sample ballots ten days betore tbe election would forestall any such action. To-morrow is the ten h day before March 2 and Clerk Tompkins 1y compelled by law to begin the mailing of sample ballots before night. — He Slapped Her Face. OAKLAND, CaL., Feb. 23.—Franklin R.

SUPERVISORS FALL OUT. They Totally Ignore the Chairman of the Hospital Committee OAKLAND, CiL, Feb. 23.—Tus har- morny that has distinguished the new Board of Supervisors was most rudely broken to-day. The matter came to a crisis over a discussion regarding rules for the government of the hospital. A set of new rules was read by the clerk, and Mr. Roeth, who was chairman of the Hospital Committee, demanded to know who preparad them. Mr, Church stated that they were prepared by the physician, upon which Mr. Roeth declared that it was a matter belonging to the Hospital Committee and that he did not intend to be ignored. Mr. Welis was of the opinion that the physician understood the needs of the hospital and snould control it, whereapon M~ Roeth said that the new rules were an effort to cover up matters in the hospital which the public should know. The object of it, he declared, is to shut out reporiers and to take from the steward the maintenance of the place. Mr. Ciurch said: “Iam not playing to the gallery as Roeth is, and any one who says that [ am trying to cover upanything tells a willful falsehood.” On the vote being taken the rules were adopted, Roeth being the only dissenter.

OAKLAND, CAxL, Feb. 23.—The execu- tive committee of the annexation com- mittee made a circuit of the proposed ad- Acronaut Earlston and His Wife, Who Claim They Have Been Driven From Their Home. | latter's house. The warrant was served on Earlston and he now replies with a siory that Smith recently ran away with the wife of his uncle and that he ordered him to leave the home in East Oakland because he (Eariston) did not countenance the action and was in sympathy with the husband whom Smith is said to have de- ceived. Earlston declares that he never used a pistol in his arguments with Smith, al- though the latter has sworn to s warrant on that ground. “I married Smith’s sister,”” said Earl- ston, *‘and soon afterward I asked him to come and live with me. The home in East Oakland is my own and no mother- mn-law bas a claim on it, as Smith de- clares. 1 was glad to have him there un- til he went to_Rio Vista and came back with & wife. Neither myselt nor wife have ever seen the woman before, but we thought notbing wrong about it until I happened to run across Thomas Smith and learned that his wife was in my house. I went home and asked Smith to leave. I did so in a gentlemaniy way, ana he talked back, declining to do as I ordere, s0 I grabbed him, intending to throw him out. He begged off and said he would leave as soon as he could. “He went right down to the Justices’ court and swore out a warrant for me, and now the court bhas torbidden me to visit my own home until the matter is settled. Smith is still there and I suppose the aunt from Rio Vista is also there, and when the case comes to trial I will bave no difficulty 1n proving my innocence.” Smith declares that the house is his ana that Earlston had not been behavinz him- self and was ordered to leave. A few months ago Eariston, who had only been married a few weeks, left his young wife and for a time she did not know where he was. Bhe told a pitiful story of desertion and much sympathy was shown for ber, and it was not known until this case came up that the aeronaut had returned. He made a record last summer by his many ascensions at Blair Park and San Lorenzo, and more than once the effect of the ascension was considerably height- ened by the fainting of his wize, who used to swoon just when her Lusband was do- ing his horizontal-bar trick before leaving the balloon in his parachute. The Decds Nearly Ready. OAKLAND, CAL., ¥eb. 23.—City Attor- dition yesterday and met with many re- quests to take in adaitional property. The explanation of this lies in the fact that they believed that if they wers not taken in they would be compelled to form a sanitary district. The committee staried at10 A. 3. and made the trip by 3 P. M. The course taken was as follows: Beginning at San Pablo avenue and narrow- gauge railrond, thence 10 the junction of the town of Emeryvillo and T-mescal Creek, thence north to the town of Berkeley, thence along the line of the Adeiine Sanitary District, through lower Claremont, across to Broadway | to Pieimont, along the “western line of the cemeter.es, endiug their trip at Linda Vista. On Wednesday evening a meeling to fix the lines, will be held, and it is probable that in Piedmont the iine will divide the district, leaving out those close to the cemetery who do not want to come 1n nor form a sanitary district. Lieutenant Cobbledick Explains. OAKLAND, Car., Feb. 23.—Licutenant Cobbledick of the Boys’ Brigade says that there is no comflict between Trustee Wat- son of the Eighth-avenue M. E. Church and Company D, Bovs' Brizade, over the recent flac-rai-ing. Mr. Cobbledick says: “The official board appointed a commit- tee to confer with a like committee from the company, who arranged all the de- tails. One of the cburch trustees, J. W. Watson, a competent mechanic, objected to the manner the contractor was pfucing the pole, and merely insisted that it be placed in a more substantial position, which was done without any trouble. The affair was erroneously reported by an officer of this company, who had no au- thority to state what he did. Tue best of feelinz prevails between the members of the company and the church, and the boys have never tried in any manner to resist our authorities.” Jumped His Ball. OAKLAND, Car.

Fireman Seymour Badly In- jured—Other Emp'oyes Nar- row!y E:caped. The Heavy Vehicles Roll Over an Embankment Into the Mud Wreckers at Work OAKLAND, CAn.,, Feb. 23.—The loco- motive and six cars of a freight train rolled over an embankment and landed in a diteh twenty-five feet beiow the track, one mile west of Midway this afternoon. The cause of the accident wasa bowl- der on the track at a road crossing, which derailed the locomotive, and it pulled over six cars before the couplinys broke. Fireman C. J. Seymour saved his lifs by jumping at a critical moment and was badly hurt sbout the head. Engmeer Meade escaped through the window of the cabas the locomotive was rolling down the embankment, and both men had re- markably narrow escapes. An extra freight train left West Oakland this morning bound for Tracy. It cun- sisted of elevett cars, most of them being empty. The train did some way business, but all went well till Midway was ap. proached. When about one mile this side of that station, which is between Liver- more and ‘Lracy, the locomotive struck a bowlder and was instantly derailed. The train at that time was only going at a moderate rate of speed, and whon the wheels struck they ran for a little dis- tance b-fore goin - over the embankment. The lccomotive and cab rolied down and landed in the ditch in different direc- tions and the cars piled on top. Six of the cars, forming the largest part of the train, were puiled over into the ditch before the coupling broke. The wreckers say that it isone of the Wworst messes they have ever tackled, as the ditch is soft and muddy and the em- tankment at that point is not well fitted for the heavy forking of the wrecking crane. The wreck occurred in the hilly district beyond gAitamont. The track in this neighborhood isa successionof curves and the freight was only makingslow time, as on account of the rains the track is soft and necessitates slow travel Eagineer Meade says that the bowlder that caused all the trouble was no bizger than_a child’s head and be is surprised that it was not crushed off the track with- out any one being any the wiser for it. “We were going aling very cautiously,” he said. “Tha track at that point is about twenty-five feet high and it is all curves, and after heavy rains we always go slowly and keep a good lookout. I knew noth- ing till I feit a bnmp and as soon as 1 ihrew the lever over the engine began to wobble. “T'he bowlder was on the track on the fireman’s side. We had not much way on us, but we forged ahead some after sirik- ing, and then the locomotive took a tumble to the leftand rolied over. I hung on for a moment or two, but seemng itat another twist might mean being crushed, Iscrambied through the window and got on to the bank. I don’t want another ex- perience like that in my liletime,’’ Fireman C. J. Seymour is badly cut about the head and bruised. He was on the cab, and as soon as he saw that his engine was going to tumbie over he jumped on the bank. He narrowly es- caped being crushed beneath the engine, but scrambled in the mud and got out of the wreck with some cuts on the head and several bruises. Conductor Martin was in the part of the train tha: did not leave the track, and be- yoad a ahuklnf up he was not hurt. Brakeman Clark was on the top of one of the cars that was ditched, and when he saw that his car was doomed he partly jumped and partly fell to the bank, and thus escaped going down with the wreck. Same of the boxcars were loaded with ties, and there were also two flatcars piled up with bricks, All these were pulled down with the en- gine before the coupling broke. Had not he coupling been broken when it did there is no doubt but that the whole train would have gone into the ditch. As soon as the news of the accident was sent to the pier the wrecking train was sent to the wreck, and when it arrived the crew saw at once that they had a big job ahead of them. Everything was in a heap and the loco- motive was partly on its side and partly on end and bad sunk quite a distance into the mud. ‘Thesix cars were badly smashed and were thrown in all directions. They were so far away from the track that the wreckage crane had difficulty in working, und owing to the mauner in which the wrecked locomotive and cars were lying it was not easy to recover them. Up to midnight the wreck had not been cleared away, and it was reported that the wrecking train could not possibly com- plete its work arfd return before the morn- ing. After the track had been cleared and repaired the passenger trains came through, although delayed for a fow hoars. LONG CAREER OF ORIME. Coln-Sweater Dickey’s Cache Was Dis- covered by a Paper-Carrier. OAKLAND, CAL., Feb, 23.—S. R. Dickey and Frederick Biite, the two coin-sweaters n the County Jail, will be arraigned to- morrow. Dickey has an interesting history that bas been unearthed by Secret Service Agent Harris. His family are weil-to-do and own a large ranch near Napa. Last July a boy who carries papers through the valley while crossing the Dickey ranch saw the prisoner hiding something under a fence. The boy concealed himself, and when the man had gone away he unearthed the treasure. [t proved to be small molds, and the newsboy took one of them to the conetable of Napa and tola him how he obtained it. Sometime later tne con- stable notified Detective Harris. Meanwhile Dickey had discovered that his cache had been” aisturbed, so he dug up the molds and took them to Secret Ser- vice Agent Harris in San Francisco. He said he bad found them i his field and that they probatly beionged to a wood- chopper named Virgin, then in Alaska. Frederick Blite, Dickey’s present mate, is unknown to the Secret Service. He bas been living with Dieke{ for some tme. Blite is A member of Harmony Lodge, A. 0. U. W., and as such holds a life insurence policy. He has signed over uis interest in the policy to D.ckey, on condition that the er maintain him during life. Dickey had fultilled this sin- gular contract with sweated coin, and both are now in trouble. In addition to all this notoriety Dickey was in love with “Dr. Addie Swain' of San Francisco, but she stated to-day that the love was all on the one side. It is in- timated that Dickey wili lead guilty, bat Blite will demand a trial. Henshaw and the New Rallroad. OAKLAND, Car., Fev. 23.—Vice-presi- dent W. G.

The vote was not com- plete at 1A. m. Captain H. A. Thompson served as chairman and Messrs. Henry Mueller and L. Rae secretary and assistant, The platform adopted and in- aorsed by all the candidates was as fol- lows: We believe that a tax rateof 1 per centis smple o sustain the city government, and we insisi that the Board of City Trustees limit their expenditures to such an amount as a $1 tax will permit. We also think that great injustice hes been perpetrated on our citizens ‘iu raising the assessed valuation of real estate two years ago when there was no proportionate increase in values. We are in favor of municipal ownership ot gas, water and electric-1ight plants when the voters have signified at an election that they wish such ownezship. We believe that more attention should be given to tho improvement of all roadways leading to the settled pirtions of our city and within our city limits. We hereby require all canaidates pre- ?:nlnfl to this convention to indorse this piat- rm. Fuily 350 people crowded the hall to suffocation, and when the time came to vote slips of paper were pas<sed around on which the namoe of the office was printed and the number of candidates to be voted for.

WHICH (URED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebodin, are_ ten times worse than the most severe pain. There isnoletup to the mental suffering day or Sleep is almost impossible, and _under iraln men are scarcely responaibie for ey do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it wi & question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. ~ But providential inspiration came to his aid 1o the shape of combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general healh, bui enlurged his wosk, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble 10 send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely ‘wiihout cost, because I want every weakened man to got the beaefit of my experience., 1am not a philanthropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiasi, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one thai cured me. Do not try to study out how I can efford to M{ the few postage-sts 8 necessary to mail the information, but sen r it ana learn that there are K few things on earih that, although they cost nothing to get, are ‘worth a fortuue to some men and mean a life- fime of nappitess to mostoi us. Write to Thomas Slater, box 2283, Kelamazoo, Mich., and the information will be mailed in s plain sealed envelope. = | sailing dates and cabin from 8 8. AUSTRALIA for OCEAN TRAVEL.
