OAKLAND, CAL, March 19.—The jury to-day decided in favor of the contest- ants in the case of the will of Matthews Wolfmair. The verdict declared, first, that the estate was community property, that the testator was acting under secon fra: nd undue influence,and third, that he was not mentally competent when the will was made. The property involved is | only §2815, but several lawyers fought over | it for several days. | Will Now Produce the Child. OAKLAND, CaL, March 19.—Chris Warren, who 1s charged with holding a young child in pawn for a board bill, and whom the Sheriff has not been able o find, was discovered this morning workine on the road in the Contra Costa bills. The necessary papers were served on him and he denied trying to elude thg Sheriff, but refused to say anything about the child, who will now be produced in court. — e - EBELLY' ELEOTION. New Officers Will Be Chosen During the Coming Month, OAKLAND, Cavr, March 19.—The an- nual meeticg and election of the Ebell Bociety will be helid on the second Friday in April, and already the campaign is wax- ing warm.

When he did speak, however, there was some sur- be two men who were the cause of all the skirmishing are Richard Ayers, an at- torney, at present doing newspaper work, and §. W.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 19.—A huge transcript of records consisiing of 500 pages has been filed with the City Council. The abstract refers to two blocks of land lying on the east shore of Lake | Merritt, which are claimed by Dr. E. H. Woolsey. The statement was made to the Council some months ago that this land really-belonged to the city, and the search of title was ordered. the Jand in question 1s worth not 1aore than $2000, it is not likely that either side will make an expensive legal contest. The Suicide of a Well-Known Jockey. OAKLAND, CAn, March 19.—The in- quest on the remains of Sam Carter, the jockey who shot himself last night, was feld this morning. All the evidence tended to show that the aeceased was de- spondent. At one time Carter was one of the best- known jockeys in the United States. He rode the winner of the first American Derby, and later won one of the tirst of the great Futurity. He rode for Haggin, Lucky Baldwin and other noted horsemen before he grew 100 heavy. ‘Wood Will Not Contest.

A QUIET CAMPAIGN, | 1 -Meoting and but Very Little | Interest Being Taken in the | Canvass. ALAMEDA, Can, March 19.—There | was quite a little spurt of interest in the | municipal campaign while the nomination | of candidates was in abeyance or going | on, but now that the tickets are all made up apathy seems to have seized the poli- ticians, and no one except he was posted | would believe from any outward indics- | tions tuat it is only about three weeks to election day. Such a thing as a mass- meeting has not been held or even sug- gested, and it seems altogether likely that none will be cailed. Some of the candidates are doing a little hustling on their own account, but other- wise matters in the political field are very quiet, stagnantin fact, and it is not ap- parent that there will be much difference, unless the saloon question should be taken bold of more actively than now seems probable. | Dodge in Texas. ALAMEDA, Caw, March 19.—The re- ported arrest’ of Murderer Blanther in | Texas is the cause uf George Dodge, who is well known here, taking a sudden trip | to the Panhandle State for the purpose of interviewing the prisoner and testifying as | to his identity. Dodge’s wife has been | visiting in this city for several days, but | returned to San Francisco this afternoon. | The departure of her husband for Texas | on the errand mentioned hes been kept a | profound secret until to-day, but with the | publication of the report of Blanther’s ar- rest it was no longer necessary to keep the matter a secret and so it came out. | Penny Purchasing Agency Fraud. | ALAMEDA, CaL, March 19,—The col- | 1apse.of Mrs, Cohen’s Penny Purchasing Agency bas a loca: inierest in Alameda. | Among the thousand or more dupes of the scheme were quite a number of credu- lous residents of this city, mostly thrifty | housewives, who can ill afford to lose the money they invested in the chimerical | %hn in the hope of benefiting their fam- ilies.

Death of Mrs. Perata. ALAMEDA, CAL, March 19.—Mrs. Ma- ria Perata, one of the pioneer residents of the We-st End of Alameda, died last night At the age of 64 years. She was a widow and was the mother of the Perata Brotn. ers, well known here. The funeral will take place on Bunday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock.. Nptes.

THE SECRETS OF PURCHASED GLORY Plainly Told in the Papers Sworn To by the Candidates. “Davie Dollars” Were Supplied at the Rate of Two for Each Voter. Statements of “Certain Election Ex- penses” and Their Comparison With the Official Rsturas. OARLAND OrrIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, March 18. The affidavits of election expenses filed by the finance committee of the various candidates are now pouring into the Clerk’s office, and many of them tell in- teresting chapters of how the battle for office was fought prior to the public’s de- cision at the polls. 5 This afternoon the statement of John L. Davie was filed. Mr. Davie spent $268 45. He could legally have spent $300. His vouchers are interesting, and show just bow much of the rulsome notices pub- lished in all manner of publications were spontaneous on the part of the editor and just how many were articles of commerce. One of the most interesting items in Mr. Davie's account is that for 15,000 *‘Davie dollars.” These dollers were spread all over Oakland two or three days before election. They were cardboard coins, with a head of the Mayer on one side and a reference to his dollar-tax limit on the other. They were generously distributed, and the number prinied showed that there were one and_two-thirds for every name on the Great Register. City Attorney Peirsol, who received a very light vote, paid $266 for the privilege of trying to succeed nimself. Mr. Peirsol seemed to do a little business with nearly every house in Ban Francisco and Oak- land, but the most com plete biography ap- peared in the Elevator. The cit:zens who inspected these state- ments in the Clerk’s office learned a great lesson in politics. Many of them were surprised to find that the elaborately written defense of a candidate’s public record was worth just so many sordid cents per line. In the case of defeated candidates it is very amusing to read on the vouchers, “Mr. Smith will certainly be the next Mayor of Oak!and,” and then to glance at the complete returns and find | that Mr. Smith received about one vote in every fifty that were cast. Martin Ezan, a member of the Repub- 1ican Alliance, who appeared on the bal- lot as a Democratic candidate for library trustee, polied over 3000 yotes without the expenditure of a_cent. Mr. Egan called on the County Cierk this afternoon and wes informed that where a man bad paid nothing out it is not legally necessary for him to file a “*statement of expenses.’’ There are several other candidates yet to hear from, but none whose method of expending the Limit allowed by the purity ol election law is likely to create any trouble. THEIR FIGHT RENEWED College Y. M. C. A, Members Take Time by the Forelock. They Will Endeavor to Keep Liquor “Ads” Fr.m the P.ges of '9¢’s “Blue and Gold.” BERKELEY, Can, March 19. — The Young Men’s Christian Association at the State University has taken time by the forelock in an effort to prevent liquor “‘ads’ from being published in '99's Blue and Gold. Having lost the battle in their effort t0 keep “‘ads’ of this character out of '98’s yearbook, they are none the less daunted, but have bobbed up serenely, and say they will fight their causa this time to a finish, They bave already com- menced action, though the officers of the book in question have not been elected. There is some talk of putting a Y. M. C. A. candidate in the field for the manager- | ship, who will be pledged 1f elected to keep the liquor ads out entirely. Io their contention with the class of '98 the Christian Association did not cast their first bomb until the book was well under way and the plans of the manager and editor had fully matured. Then reso- lutions were introduced before the class and the members were clll%d upon to de- cide the question. The young women rallied to the support of the Y. M. C. A. and the meeting was attended by the Iargost delegation of co-eds_that ever ar- | tended a class meeting at Berkeley. But the proposition of excluding the adver- tisements was lost by a close vote. BERKELEY FIELD DAY, Mettle of Freshmen to Be Tried This Afternoon on the University Cinder Track. BERKELEY, CAL., March 19.—The ath- letes at the Btate University will hold a field day to-morrow afternoon on the Berkeley cinder track. About thirty men will enter the different events. This field day will be in effect somewhat of a substi- tuie for the annual freshman-sophomore contest, as the first opportunity will thus be afforded to try the mettle of the new men. It is anticipated that several surprises rung by members of the fresh- s, especially by Griffin In the mile walk and Broughton in the sprints. Gniffin has bren covering the mile in 7:34 at practice, thus approximating the uni- versity record by eight seconds. Brough- ton has been doing 10 2-5 seconds work in the 100, and close on his heels have been McNab and Drumm. In the mile Hazel- tine has gained some distinction. Among the other freshman entries upon whom much attention will be centered are: Goodale and Hoffman in the high jump, Cheek 1n the shot, Cheek and Dow- son in the hurdles, Simonds in the broad and Westerfeld and Aiken in the mile, There will be, in addition to the reguiar order of track and field contests, several open events, among which will be a ht-casting exhibition by Tom Oarroll, the great hammer-thrower. The records made to-morrow will form is upon which to work in view of coming intercolieglate match. Endeavor Rally. BERKELEY, CAL,, March 19.—A grand rally of the Christian Endeavorers belong- ing to the Berkeley Union was held this evening at the First Presbyterian Church. The churches represented were the First Presbyterian, First Congregational, North Berkeley Congregational, Trinity tho- dist, Dwight-way Baptist and the Quaker church. About 250 delegates were pres- ent. The rally was held with view to creating interest in the National conven- tion of the Christian Endeavor Bociety to be held in Sar Francisco next July. Rev. Dr. E. R. Dille of San Francisco was the speaker of the evening. Pink and White Wedding. ALAMEDA, CaL, March 19.—There wasa very pretty pink and white wed- ding last evening at the Congregational church, when Henry W. von Kapff and Miss Grace A. Marsden were united in marriage by Rev. Dr. Bcudder. After the ceremony a reception and bail were given at the residence of the bride’s grandfather, George Brown, 2103 San Jose avenue. A LIVELY BLAZE, During Its Progress Thieves Enter & House and Steal a Valuable Diamond Ring. ALAMEDA, Car, March 19.—At 1:40 o’clock this morning an alarm was tarned in for a fire in the dwelling of W. Meyer- hoffer at 1552 Verdi street. The flames bad made good headway before the de- partment reached the scene and the ad- joining houses on both sides were also burning to a slignt extent. These were fizst attended to by the engines and then the streams were turned on the Meyer- boffer house. The upper part of the nouse was badly damaged beiore the fire was controlled. It is the property of F. F. Baker of San Francisco and was insured for $4000, with $500 additional on the con- tents. The dwelling of Felix Marcuse, adjoining on the corner of Verai street and Railroad avenue, also caught fire and was damaged several hundred dollars. While the fire was burning many of the ariicles in tne house were removed, strangers assisting, and afler the flames had been extinguished Mr. Marcuse found that some one had stolen a valuable dia- mond ring. There is no clew to the thief. The residence of C. A. Smith, at 1548 Verdi sireet, was also damaged several hundred dollars, WANT A BOY'S LIBERTY It Is Said That D- Shannen Is Holding the Lad Against His Will. Circumstances Seem to Shcw That There Is a Mis: ppreliension of Facts in th: Cisa. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcISco CALL, 903 Broadway, March 19. } Prominent colored people, including ministers and doctors, are convinced that a colored boy about the age of 14 years is being neld against his will by Dr. J. M. Bhannon of East Oakland, and to-day they addressed the iollowing petition to the Children’s Society : Mra. Prescott, Sccretary of the Society for Pre- wention of Cruclty to Children: We, the under- signed residents of Alameda County, having learued that a colored boy about the age of 14 is being held in bondage by Dr. J. M. Shau- non of Esst Oakland, and that said boy was forced to leave on account of bad treaiment, and has since been compelled 1o return against his own will to said Dr. Shannon, we therefore appeal to you, as superintendent of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- Gren, asking you (o haye the matter thor- oughlly invesiigated and seo that justice is one. Rev. J. L. Allen, pastor Beth Eden Baptist Church; Rev. J. E. Edwards, pastor First A. M. E, . C: D. Cole, William Craw- ford, A. F. Hoiland, Jonn F. Wiles, W. F. De- lainey, James Washington, A. A. Collins. Upon investigation it woula seem that the petitioners do not thoroughly under- stund the circumstances. Dr. Shannon brought the lad from Mississippi about three years ago and has bsen appointed his legal guardian. He sent the boy to the Franklin night school and in the day- time he made the lad generally useful around the house. The doctor regarded him as unusually bright and intelligent. About three weeks ago the boy disap- peared. An investigation showed that he had been taken away from the doctor’s nouse by a man who had made him all kinds of promises. Eventually he was leftat the house of W. M. Johnson in the Watts Tract by a man who told Johnson he would call for him next day. The police declared it to be s case of kidnaping, and Johnson willingly sur- rendered the boy. The lad stated at the time that the man in taking him away told him he would get him a better place with plenty of money. He was anxious to go back to Dr. Shannon, and when found by the police he reguested that he atonce be taken to the doctor. Chief of Police Lloyd took the lad to the doctor’s home, where he has been appa- rently contented ever since. He does not say_that he is being held in bondage against bis will, and the officials believe that the petitioners, though conscientious, have received untrustworthy information. May Be Claus Anthony. OAKLAND, CaL., March 19.—A drowned horse with a buggy still attached to it was found in Alameda Creek yesterday. A trank was found near the buggy with a man’s outfit, a memorandum-book, sev- eral photographs and a watch. In the book was the name of Claus Anthony. It is said that a stranger was seen near Niles the previous night with a woman in a buggy and asked the way to Livermore. udge Ogden, who came up from Niles to-day, said that there was no clew to the identity of the people who had been in the buggy, and that although the suppo- sition was the occupants had been drowned there was nothing to substantiate that theory. Smiths Want a Separation. OAKLAND, CaL, March 19.—Mrs. Mary Smith of Berkeley has filed a suit for divorce against Clayton P. Smith, for- merly a well-known lumber-dealer of Chi- cago. Mrs. Smith charges cruelty and desertion. —————— EIGHT VIOLENT DEATHS. Inquests on Suicide and Other Cases Held by Coroner Hawkins, Several inquests were held by Coroner Hawkins yesterday. In the case of Dan- iel D. Ellery a verdict of suicide was given. Ellery was a watchman, anda lived at 150 Fourth street.

OSCAR LEWIS, President Builders’ Exchange. F. S. EMERY, California State Board of Trade, San Francisco. SIRS:— I 'am in receipt of resolution, adopted by your several commercial and industrial organizations, urging early commencement upon the work of building of - the San Francisco Postoffice, and, in reply, will say that | every effort will be made on the partof the delegation to secure the same as early as is possible. The fact, however, must not be lost sight of, that four years of the past administration has been allowed to pass without any effort on the part of the people to urge commencement of this work, and upon the very first day of the incoming administration the concentrated effort Now we are satisfied that it will be the policy of this administration not longer to delay work of this character was made to start the project. than is necssary. There is another matter that I desire to call to the attention of your respective bodies, and that is, that from the very inception of this pro- ject the San Francisco press have almost universally criticized and con- demned the movement. A San Francisco paper that I glanced over to-day intimates rather caustically that the plans should be revised. somewhat severely criticized personally for the action I took in having the limit of cost fixed upon said building, which would permit the admin- istration to proceed with the work. Many times since, as well as before, the character of the foundation of the lot has been, however justly I will not say, very severely criticized by the -public press and many of our citizens. Of course you can understand that clippings of the San Francisco papers are kept on file here, and almost every effort that has been made by the delegation has.been counteracted by our own people. 1 trust that we have now entered upon a new era, and that our people will concentrate their united efforts in another direction and endeavor to work in harmony toward the completion of the San Francisco Postoffice. Sufficient money, permit me to say; has been appropriated by Congress to inaugurate the work. Two years ago the building was placed under what we call the ‘-continuous contract system’’—that is, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to enter into a contract for the comple- tion of the building. Now, if we can amicably settle with some of our people the matter of plans for the difficulty in getting it started during the early summer. regret that the same unanimity of the people did not exist regarding this project during the past that seems to exist now. Am also in receipt of a memorial to Congress urging an appropria- tion of $250,000, together with an unexpended balance of $240,000. 1 have substantially answered these however, $240,000 of unexpended balance, but there is a sufficient appropriation, with the power the contract for the completion of the building, to inaugurate and carry forward the work. Your petition to Congress is wholly unnecessary, as the authority to construct the building is vested in the Secretary of the Treasury, and no further amount of money is needed at present. Truly yours, WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13, 1897. PROSPECTS. The Examiner edi- If this journalistic freak Four years ago I was building, I think we shall have no We can only suggestions above.

Refused to Tell in Justice Kerrigen’s Court Where Disastrous Wagers Were Laid. An echo of the recent great pugilistic encounter sounded in Justice Kerrigan's court yesterday, and sent L. Ripkind,a cap-maker, to jail for twenty-four hours for contempt. Ripkind was sued recently in the Justice Court, and a judgment for $35 against him and in favor of one Strunsky rendered. An execution failed to find anything t satisfy the judgment, and the plaintiff wi about to give up in despair of being able to get his money when, to his joy, he learned that Ripkind had recently received $500 from the order of Beth Abraham, and hastened to haul the defendant into court to tell where the money was concealed. The gay cap-maker admitted receivin, the money, but denied that he had any of it left. He had taken the Examiner’s sure-thing tips that Corbstt couldn’t lose to the lanky Cornishman and he had bet his pile on the pompadour slogger. Result—An empty pocket and a huge disgust for the monarch of the fakers. Then the attorney for Strunsky at- tempted to ascertain where the money had been bet, but Ripkind suddenly be- came reticent and refused to answer any more questions. He was told by the court that he would be expected to an- swer, but he stili declined to answer and rounding those disastrous was ———————— USED STUPEFYING DRUGS. Former Friends ‘Wished to Rob Him.

Benn says they wished (0 rob him, and did succeed 1n getting away with ‘s lot of trout flies which he had manufactured. The men arrasted say they are friends of Benn and bad him conveyed to the institution for his own good, as he was a hopeless in- ebriate. A friend of his sold about $80 worth of his flies, but it is claimed most of the money Was spent for ¥im and the rest was returned to him. 7 T.lee men were released in $500 bonds each. DOUGHERTY'S EXAMINATION, Judge Campbell Does Not Think the Offense Constituted Murder. | ‘George Dougherty, the policeman who | on the morning of March 8 shot and killed Henry E. Sullivan, a fellow-officer, and then attempted to end his own life, was | held yesterday before Judge Campbell. | The testimony was to the effoct that both men were in a saloon on O'Farrell street and were somewhat under the in- fluence of liquor. Sullivan, who was an athlete, wished to indulge 'in a friendly boxhlg match without glcves and per- suaded Dougherty to stand np before him. The latter was somewhat bruised and refused to go on with the sport. Bullivan insisted, and when Dougherty attempted to leave the place his companion became angry and barred his way in a threaten- ing manner. Therenpon Dougherty fired two shots at Sullivan and one at his own head. The shots directed at Sulli took deadly effect, but Dougherty was able to be in the courtroom yesterday. After listening to short arguments by Prosecuting Attorney Spinetti and Peter F. Dunne for the defendant Judge Campbell stated that tiere was no evi- dence to hold the defendant for murder in the first degree, and he would take into consderation until to-day whether he would hold him for mansiaughter or mur- der in the first degree. | Normannia Aliction Sales P.

PASSENGERS WERE ALARMED. A Broken Wheel on an Overland Train Causes Quite a Commotion. The passengers on the Western-bound overland train, which arrived in this City yesterday at 1:30 o’clock, received quite a good shaking up afler the train had left the summit of the Sierra Nevadason its journey to Sacramento. ‘When near Gold Hill, which is a small station in the mountains on the railroad, the passengers who were sleeping were awakened by & thumping and a bumping on the track, which racket kept up for quite a distance before the. train came (o a halt. On inquiry it was ascertained that a wheel under one of the open cars, which was next to the baggage-car, had broken, and was teering along fthe ties. Thoss who were on board the car which Jost its wheel became very much excited, as the train was moving along at a pretty good rate of speed. Some one pulled the bell rope, but it failed to work, and as a result the broken wheel and very much jarred car tore along over the ties for at least a mile before the engineer discovered that something was wrong. 1t appears that the train was stopped in good season. Had the broken wheel caught on any of the bridges which span culverts on the road an accident fearful to contemplate might have happened. A delay of over three hours resulted until the necessary changes and repairs were made. Saturday. NEW TO-DAY.
