Superintedfdent Curtis Says That a Doub e-D:cked Draw Is | Feasible. 02 No Account, However, Would the Southern P cific Tak: the Upper Portion. OAKLAND OFrcE SAX Fraxcisco CAunj | 908 Brosdway, March 26. § It now seems very probabie 1hat there will be two bridges across the estuary in- | stead of the one large structure that was proposed by those interested in the ma- | rine traffic of the estuary. The influence of those interested in the railroad travel across the water will probably prevail. For several months the Supervisors and the railroad company have been trying to - arrive at an understanding, but nothing definite has been done. The Supervisors ¥ to agree 10 a double-aeck bridge e railroad company will go overhe ihey declare is absolutely impussible account of the two approaches that ave to be built fo make the system | ticable. g . G. Curtis, the superintendent of con- struction of the Southern Pacific, said to- day that the railroad-cannot under any circumstances accept the overhead ar- rangement. ‘Under no condition " said Mr. Curtis, “‘can we accept the propusition to go over- 1\;:3(1 in the event of but one bridge being uilt. ppose Oakland owned the railroad— | where would it be placed? There would be no question then of taking the upper berth. Why should we be expected to g0 above when our trainis are heavier and much less easy to handle thau the other cars or teams which will use the bridee? “Yes, a single bridze for both cars and pedestrinns is feasible enough, but there | would be much danger of accidents at- tuched where the tracks have to cross the | roadway. With the overhead plan acci- | dents in this respect are entirely avoided, and this is an important matter for con: sideration. “Tue War Department has only sug- | gested that one bridge take the place of | the two. There has been no order to this | effect, nor do I think any iscontemplated. | The department has demanded both the | railroad and the county to repair the | bridges, though. | ““There is no getting out of the question that the single bridge for both would cost | each of us fully 2s much as separate | bridges will. Itis only for the interest of Oukiand’s commerce on the water ¥ront | that the matter is being considered at all. | We want the people (o understand that | we are trying to reach an amicable con- | clusion whereoy the county and the rail- | Toad can co-overate. “It is unreasonable to suppose that the company will pay more than its share of | the cost, as some of the Supervisors have | suggestea, nor isit right to expect us to articipate in mesting the expense of the long approaches which are a necessity with | ibe double-deck bridge. “The Southern Pacific Company 1s ready | aiting for the Supervisors to make & | proposition, now that the Legislature has | Temoved the obstacles in the way. We want this matter settled definiteiy so that ow whether to put up ourown with the county. | “If the Supervisors intend to stand by | €ome of tue jdeas I have heard the com- | pany will of necessity have to act alone.” | -~ | QUEEN OF ARBOR DAY. | Pretty Ceremonies Carried Out at Fruit- t vale’s New Public School. OAKLAND, Cav., March 26.—Arbor day was celebraied by the Fruitvale school this afternoon. Parents and pupils and | teachers jomed bands to bave a pretty | celebration, and they were successfal. Fruitvale school, which was built a year ago, is one of the best equipped in the county. It is situated on a commanding eminence, containing a beautiful view of | the surrounding country, and is in an| ideal location. Stella Shoemaker wss chosen queen, Alice Bechtel was her maid of honor and | the attaches of the court were Cecil Har- rold. Fannie Piaw, Eihel Thornton, Grace | Ralston, Leo Gulick, Marguerite Mitchell, | Elsie Newman and Helen Becbtel. The | queen was attired in white. She is a very | attractive young lady of about fifteen summers. The queen carried a royal bouquet and | her white garb was very becoming, backed by the pale-blue dresses of her attendants, ail of whom carried delicate bouquets. As the regal procession reached the mid- dle of the stage, wh ch in itself looked like & natural piece of forest, each young Iady presented a little branch of a tree to the queen, who accepted it with an_ ap- propriate remark. As they marched back | ihe queen raturned their branches, which | she bad laid at her feet while the proces- | sion was passing. H The prozramme was a pleasing study. It consisted of characteristic recitations, | dialogues and dances, 1n which different | young ladies represented flowers, The | tableaux were perfect. The boys were as active as the girls, and one part of the pro- gramme was as well maintained as an- other. County Superintendent of Schools Gar- | lick made an appropriate speech, ana at the conclasion of the exercises each class | received its friends in its classroom. The trees, the planting of which was | celebrated to-day, were placed around the | schoolhouse two weeks ago. i and PLETZ'S BAD LUCK. Pursued by a Wife Whom He Thought Was Divorced. OAKLAND, Cavn, March 26.—Fred W. Pietz of Livermore, against whom tne Grand Jury returned an indictment for bigamy, seems to be in bad luck. There is no doubt that he literally committed bigamy, because he was married to his second wife before the recording of the de- | cree from his first wife. Pletz says, and it | js not doubted, that he put up the money for the fees, and concluded that the de- cree was granted, and not until he had been married to a young lady at Liver- more did vis first wife discover that the decree was not on record. She then had him arrested, but his young wife procured bonds and got him out of jail on Christmas day. When the case came to trial the first wile, being stiil his legal wife, could not testify against him; the second wife abso- Jutely refused to do so, and there being no evidence Pletz was dismissed. Bince then the first wife has invoked the aid of the Grand Jury, and it being very ciear| thata tecbnical offense had been com- mitted, there was no alternative but to urn an indictment.

S et vy MANUEL TCO HASTY. Evidence That the Water Ordinance Was Mislaid by Mistake. OAKLAND, Car., March he omis- sion for one day of the publication of the water-rate ordinance will have no effect on that measure. Publisher Dargie said to-day that it was accidentally left out of the form by the foreman aud that ths! clerk who made out the affidavit of pub- | lication did not know of any omission. 1 At the meeting of the Council last night Councilman Manuel stated that he be- ved that Mr. Dingee or his manager were responsible for the omission, This evening Mr. Dingee authorized the foliow- ing statement: T know nothing about the delinquent publi- catfon, and I am quite sure that Mr. Moffitt ng ebout it. Councilman Man- d that Mr. an indirect ent whicb I resent tor_th eason that Mr. Moffit cannot possibly have any interest of any character in the water ordinance of Oak- land, and so far as the propo-ed water raies are concerned, I want 10 say to the people of Osakland and to Councilman Manuel in par- ticular, that I will never at any time be found taking advantage of any mistake, or iuterfer- ing in any manner with the rates proposed. | If an erro pr.nting *has been made it n i b> corrected, and the new Couucil, with- protest on ‘my part, or on the part of a friends, can establish them on the lines originally laid out. “I notified the City Clerk,” said Mr. Dargie, *‘as soon as the blunder had been discovered, and that ought to be proof there was no job in it, because now the error can be corrected. I I had intended to prevent the fixing of the water-rate or- dinance I would have let the Council go on and pass an inva id ordinance. Mr. Dargie now proposes to print tae ordinance to-night, Saturday nignt and Monday night, completing the required ten publications, and he thinks the old Council can finally pass the ordinance Monday evening before yielding up office to its successo HOME-FINDISG SOCIETIES Their Responsibility Will Soon B: Tested in the Courts. One of Their Wards Driftel About Until He Finally Landed in Juil OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, March 6. | An important point has arisen regard- g the jurisdiction of home-finding so- ciefies in the cate of Elmer Elliott, a lad nine years of age, whose custody is now wanted by his motherand a society which undertook some time ago to put the child edacation. The fact that a bonus is paid by the society for each child for whom a home is found also figures in the problem. Little Elmer is a bright lad, who is now at the West Oskland Home. Mrs. Pres- cott, secretary of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children, is at pres- ent legally responsible to the court for his mands for the child. One 1s from his| mother and the otker is from the society that once found it a home. The “‘home” found for the lad wasat Lorin with a Mrs. Brown, and his mother was informed that the boy woulti be well looked after and would be iven a first- | class education. Instead of these benetits | young Elliott, after the novelty of having bim 1n her home wore off, found himself | accused by Mrs. Brown of stealing halfa | doliar. For this crime Mrs. Brown had | the boy placed in jail, and it was made to appear that he was the most incorrigible | lad of his age in the world. The Judge sent him to the West Oak- land Home, where he is at present. ‘When the mother was informed of what bad occurred she wrote to Mrs. Prescott. | “These home-finding societies are an | excellent thing,’”” said the secretary to- d; ‘but they are not conducted on a sufficiently practical basis. “When we take charge of a child for any cause whatever, if it bas no guardian le- gally fitted to look after it we take out Jetters of guardianship, and this not only gives us a right to make proper proyision for a child, but it makes us legally respon- sible for the child’s welfare. ©If it be a waif and any one wishes to adopt it we can act for the child, and its patents by adoption are then legally re- sponsible for it, and all along it is pro- tected by law. “In the case that has now come to our | notice, neither the Home-finding So- | ciety nor Mis. Brown have any legal re- | sponsibility, and, as events have proven, when placed in a home he was lost sight of. These facts should be thoroughly un- derstood.” The case of litile Elliot will probably be taken into the courts. Mystery of a Fallen Table. OAKLAND, CaL.,, March 26.—The fam- ily of J. A. Edgren are trying to discover who upset their heavy aining-room table and broke most of the dishes night before last. Mr. and Mrs. Edgren were ups:airs waiting for their son, when they heard & loud crash in ths dining-room. They went downstairs, found the heavy tabie lying on its side and most of the dishes smashed. Mr. Edg¢ren has no other ex- planation to mauke than thata burglar got into the house and becoming fright- ened at something he crawled under the table and later in his hurry to escape he tipped it over. Another Excuse for Corbett. OAKLAND, Cavn., March 26.—Billy De- laney has discovered another cause why Corbett was defeated. He now states that the ring at Carson was 100 small, and that it was only a little more than 19 feet square instrad of 24, “This naturaily is a big disadvantage for Corbett. He needed all the room allowed, and 1 do not know who author- ized reducing the space. With reference to a stipulation to fight at least ten rounds on account of the kinetoscope, I don’t know anything about it. If it was made I was on tue outside and not consulted.” Surprised by a Lunatic. OAKLAND, Car., March 26.—Samuel Speckman, who vLas been before the lunacy commissionels a couple of times, waiked into the Chief of Police’s office to- day and requested to be placed on the police force. He gave Clerk Gardner a severe fright by saying that he was a tell of his qualitications for office. Gard- ner did not know the insane Englishman, and was preparing himselt for a contest when Speckman ieft. Big Improvements Contemplated, OAKLAXND, CaL., March 26.—The heirs of the iate W. E. Miller have acquired the nalf interest recentiy d by W. D. Heaton in the property at Tenth street and Broadway, and will soon ouild a large block on the northeast corner. The pres- ent building will be enlargedjfand probably a third story added. Another improve- ment is to be made on Tentn street on the vacant lot next to the Enquirer building. will ’ Dog Show. OAKLAND, CAL., March 26.—The Oak- land Kennel Club has decided that it will hold a bench show at the tabernacle for three days in the middle of May. Cups and medals will be given for single entri-s and cash prizes for strings anc kennels, Trained animals will be on hand each evening, and several innovatious will be | introduced, DAVIE AND GARRITY MAKE A CONTEST All Manner of Fraud Al- leged at the Recent Election. It Is Said Officials Served Who Could Not Read and Write English. The Mayor Declares He Is Not Mak™ ing the Coitest and He Does Not Know Who Is. 0AKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, March 26. | Mayor-elect Thomas and City Attorney- | elect Dow will have to stand a contest for their respective seats. This afternonn the long-promised papars were filed by Attor- ney George de Golia, and a recount is | that ti'e words complained of be omitted from the official ballots. Further com- plaint is made that the sample ballots that have been prepared for sending out do not bear that de ignation upon their face and that they are consequently illegal. The City Clerk has declined to take cognizance of Mr. Tanpan’s protest, and it is repotted ihat that gentieman will apply for a writ of mandate to have the official ballots prepared as he believes the law requires. Meserole-Jamen. ALAMEDA, CAL., March 26.—The quiet and unheralded wedding of Miss M.ttie Meserole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Meserole of this city, to William James of San Francisco at 8an Rafael last Tuesday was a source of great surprise both to the parents and to the wide circle of friends of the young lady. While Mr. James had been assiduous in bis attentions, marriage bad not been hinted at, and the parents bad no inkling of what had taken place until the day after the wedding, when the yoang couple appeared and introduced themselves as husband and wife. On the day of the wedading it is said Miss Meser- ole leit home ostensibly to visit a friend, and her absence when night came caused no alarm, as it was supposed she had de- cided to prolong her visit till next day. There does not appear to have been any particular necessity for so much secrecy, as tne parental blessinzs have been freely bestowed upon the happy young couple and all is well as well can'be. Work Stopped. ALAMEDA, CAL., March 26.—The work of grading, curbing and macadamizing Santa Clara avenue from the east line of the Cohen property to High street, pass- ing tbrough the noted Indian = shell mound, has been stopped for an indefinite STILL HARPING ON THAT MANDOLIN Witnesses Add Interesting Phases to the Justice Carroll Case. The . Famous Instrument Was Said to Have Burned With Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The Deacon Embczzl-ment Case Also Brought Before the Jury by Larzalere. The Grand Jury yesterday surpassed its previous record in the number of cases heard. The case against Justice of the Peace John A. Carroll took precedence in the number of witnesses and the time consumed, but no conclusion was reached. Attorney Frank Shea, who was attorney for Jo Gibbons in her contest with Cipollini for possession of the mandolin on which all the troublo hinges, told a aTy ATTORNE THE LATEST IN MUNICIPAL POLITICS. Mayor Davie’s friends believe he was counted out and have undertaken a contest to unseat Mayor-elect Thomas. Colonel Garrity's riends claim to have evidence of fraud and will try to oust City Attorney-elect Dow. asked. The official figures for these can- didates sre: Thomas, 3071; Davie, 2962; Dow, 4451; Garrity, 4225, These figures show a plurality for Thomas of 109 and for Dow of 226. Messrs. Davie and Garrity believe that a recount will show that they should hold respec- tively the offices of Mayor ana City Al»’ torney, and in twenty pages of a com- plaint they state the reasons for their be- liel. In nearly everv precinct, it is alleged, the men who were watching on behalf of Davie and Garrity, saw votes counted for Thomas anu Dow that were cast for the contestants. The various charges made, if true, would show the majorities are just about right, but that they should be given to the contestants instead of the contestees. It is alleged that in the Second Precinct of the Second Ward the board gave eight- een votes to T omas that belonged to Davie and ten to Peirsol that should have been credited to Garrity. In the Third Precinct of the Second Ward Davie, it is allezed, was defrauded of nine votes snd Garrity of three. The losses that it1s alleged Davie and Gurrity sustained in various other precincts are as follows: Fourth Precinct, Sevenih Ward, Davie 7, Garrity 5; Furst Precinct, Toird Ward, Davie 11, Garrity 13; Second Precinct, Third Ward, Davie 5; Third Precinet, Third Ward, Garrity 14, Davie 7; First Precinct, Fourth Ward, Davie 9, Garrity 15; Second Precinct, Fourth Ward, Davie 4, Garrity 13; Third Precinct, Fourth Ward, Davie 12, Garritv 9; First Precinct, Fiith Ward, Davie 6; Second Precinct, Fifth Ward, Davie 5, Garrity 1; Third Precinct, Fifth Ward, Davie 3, Garrity 5; Yirst, Second, Third and Fourth Pre. cincts, Seventh Wari, Davie 37, Garrity 29. ‘The contestants assert that great irregu- larities existed in regard to voters being assisted to mark their baliots. In many instances it is slieged that the legal snow- ing of physical disability was not made and that ballots were marked fraudulently and in opposition to the wishes of such voters. A direct charge is made that in the First, Becond and Third precincts of the Third Ward Joseph King, who was not & mem- ver of any board in the ward, was permit- ted to cail off the names trom the bailots and have the same tallied and entered as aad-d up by him. The charge is also made that none of the members of the boards were upon the last assessment-roll; thatthey were all of one political faith,and that some of them could not read and write the English language. Instead of ihe polls in the Fourth Pre- cinctof the Seventh Ward being open at 5:40 it is allezed that they were not o&ened till 7:45, and that consequently 100 commuters who would have voted for Davie were deprived of the franchise. When spoken to to-night Mayor Davie said: “This contest was not undertaken by me, and I do not really know who is the prime mover. It isthe right of every citizen who can pay for it to make a con- test, and if fraud has been committed I would naturally like to see it proved.” DISPUTED BALLOTS. A Clalm That the Law Has Not Been Complied With in Preparing the Ballots for the Election, ALAMEDA, CAu., March 26.—Another ripple has been caused in political circles with regard to the preparation of the bal- Iots for the coming election. It comes from the same sourct the one noted yesteraay—R. B. Tappan, candidate for City Attorney. The law requires that the name of each candidate shall be accom- panica by the name of the party whose nominee he is. On the tickets that have been printed and approved by the City Attorney and County Clerk the nomi. are represented as being the candi- dates of the Non-Partisan party or the Good Government Club, and as independ- ent, or in some cases, all three combined. To the designation of “Good Govern- ment Ciub” Mr. Tappan takes exception and has filed formal notice of protest with the City Clerk, concluding with a demand period because of a protest filed by the trustees of the Sather estate. The protestants represent all the frontage on both sides of the avenue, and they claim that the improvement is not needed, that it will be a great hardship to have to pay for the work at the present time, and that itis not needed anyhow. The work has consequentiy been suspended for six months. The Postmastership. ALAMEDA, CAL, March 26.—There was consideraple talk about town this morn- | ing over the dispatch from Washington stating that Dr. McLean, the City Health Officer, is 1o be given the postmastership of Alameda. It was known that he had tried to obtain the indorsement of the California delegation for the position of Surveyor of the Port of San Francisco, but it was not known that he had aspir: tionsin the direction of the postoffice. Tiie statement in this rezard is not cred- ited here. Before he went East he signed the petition of E. A. Randlett for the postmastership, and it is not believed that he would now try to obiain the honor for himseif. The Estuary Bridge. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 26.—Consider- able interest is taken in the discussion of the matter of the I}rnpoued new bridge across the estuary, There is one thing in this connection in which Alameda is prac- tically & unit, and that is the desire not to abandon the present location at Webster street. There are a variety of reasons for not desiring any change, principal among which is the disastrous effect which 1t would have on business interests at the west end. As to the desirability of having one or two bridges public sentiment hus not yet crystalliz.d sufficiently to giye an idea of its trend. Notes. Rev. Haskett Smith delivered his last lec- ture iu this city ast evening, taking as his subject “Crete and the Islands of Greece.” There was & large audience present, and as the topic was a timely one aud well handled it was received with great interest, Mrs, Cohen offered to pay the expense of caring for the firemen {njured on Tuesday at the burning of Fernsida, out_ the offer wes de- clined, innsmuch as theyare beiug aitended gratutiously by Dr. Pond.

He said that after Justice Carroll had had possession of the mandolin for some time Miss Gibbons asked him (Shea) to see Carroll and get the instrument for her. Hevisited roll and asked him for it. Carroll said it had been destroyed and he would be unable to return it, but that if given time he would pay Miss Gib- bons the value in money. He said that be had left the mandolin in a saloon and that the barkeeper and some young women had_taken ‘it with them on an excursion to “Uncle Tom’s Cabin’’ and there left it. When that famous road house was burned the mandolin, he said, was burned with it. ‘I had to accept the story as true,’’ said Shes, “and to was somewhat surprised when I learned that the instrument was here in the hands of the Grand Jury, brought here bv Carroll in response to a subpena by the Grand Jury.” Attorney McCabe, who was counsel for the music teacher Cipollini, was aiso a witness, and told how Carroll o possession of the instrument; tuat it was given to him by Miss Gibbons to keep for her after he (Justice Carroli) had dismissed the case before him for its recovery, and another suit had been brought before an- other Justice—Justice Cook. Carroil was to take care of it until the case was det mined, and not allow Cipollini or his agents to get it in Ruy sxan Justice Cook was also a witness, produc- ing his books and showing the record in the case as it transpired before him; how Miss Gibbons was not present at the time the case was called, and judgment was rendered agsinst her in default.

The Scotch make oat porridge the prin- cipal part of their breakfast, and this habit of the sturdy race is coming into quite general fayor in America. Some fruit and grain with a hot cup of Postum Cereal and bread and butter is an ideal healt! breakfast. Coffee hurts many people in ways they do not suspect. Any disorder of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, palpitation of the heart, weak eyes, etc., originates in a weakened ner- vo 18 sysiem, caused by some foreign ele- ment the nerves cannot stand. Coffee and tobacco are powerful drugs and directly affect the nervous system. Quit the cause of the disorder and nature will generully heal up the affected parts. Postum Cereal made by the Postum Cereal Co. Lim., of Battle Creek, Mich., is a pure, nourishing and strengthening grain food-drink which will answer very well instead of coffee. If one is perfecily weil, and can drink coffee withont its showing a disorder in some part of the body, they mizht not be interested in Postum, but about every other one is hurt by coffee, and there is no denying the fact that the great food drink is a boon to such. Properly pre- pared it is toothsome and delicious. “Just as good” as Postum Cereal are words used to defrand the publie.
