Atan early hour this morninga man named Hans Olsen was brought to the | hospital suffering from a crushed arm. | He had been struck by a freight train | somewhere near Berkeley, and when | brought to the hospital was suffering | acutely. An examination of his injury | convinced the doctors that it would be | necessary to amputate the arm near the | shoulder. The operation was performed and Olsen was put to bed in the ward. A few minutes later the coctor was fold- very remarkable, | ing the arm at the elbow to wrap up and take away with him. At the same time Steward Tobin heard Olsen screaming in his cot. He went at once to the sufferer, who said that he could feel his missing arm being doubled up, and he requested that it be at once straightened out into a comfortable position. Both the steward and the doctor convinced Olsen that his limb would in a position of comfort and the sufferer at once said that the pain that he Lad feit had leit him. A few months ago Mrs. Gatters, wife of 8 well-known barber, experienced tns Bame annoyance from = Jdismembered limb. Mrs. Gatters was out hunting and in drawing her gun after her tarough a ience the weapon accidentally exploded and the charge shatiered her t was necessary ‘o perform amputation and the member was duly buried. Mrs, Gatters soon after complained of suffering great discomfort and pain from limb, and she was not re- rred and which Ler missing lieved until the leg wasdisi placed in anotber position, since time= it has eased to troublce her. Dr. C. O. Hamlin, one of the surgeons of this city, said to-day that st instances are not uncommon in sur, practice. “It is not at all unreasonable,”’ said he, *for any one to have such an experience when we app! little common-senss to the existing conditions. A patient who suffers emputaiion has been accustomed | to the use of the iimb all his life. His mind is accustomed to think of his body asa whole, and when one member is taken away it is very easy to conceive that | it will be a long while belore a man’s mind | can fully realize that it has lost conirol absolutely of one portion of his body. At such times there is always, of course, acute pain on account of the amputatio and the mind will naturally revert to tha: portion of the body. “Not being sccusiomed to attribute pain to a condition of affairs with which his mind is entirely unfamiliar, he naturally sttributes it to the condition of affairs to which it is accustomed. In the case of Qualters, his limb would naturally feel peculiar to him. It would be painful, and it would be but natural for him to imagine that the limb was causing it. ‘When convinced that the limb is in a po- sition of comfort then his mind 1s at rest. Idonot see how any other intelligent explanation can be made.” Dr O iL. Joies; who hes gived poustder able attention to’ such maiters and who has traveled exiensively among the un- civilized tribes of Africa, says that such conditions s ould cause no surprise. ‘‘In South nnd Central Africa,” he says, “‘such ideas are frequently found, because the medicine man realizes 10 a great extent the effect of mind over matter. “To a great degree they visy upon this knowledge and claim to effect cures with lizard ski nll kinds of Most Complexion Powders | | have a vulgar glare, but PozzoNI's is & tru beautifier, whose effects are lasting. | any older. ity may be decreased by about 10, unless ! greatly at variance as to leave some avp- some unlooked-for event happens. WEDDED IN A HURRY. Boys and Girls Cross the Bay and Return as Husbands avd Wives. OAKLAND, CaL., April 7.—Frank Holt and Miss Mamie Lund came from San Francisco to be married. They were ac- companied by Herman Brockman and Miss Katie O'Brien. As they walked up and down Broadway, evidently rather reticent about going to the Clerk’s office, they attracted considerable attention as tuey paraded two by two. After a while they asked the way to the County Clerk’s office, and the four children, for they looked like school boys and girls out for a picnic, were directed to the county buildings. Holt asked Deputy Cal Ewing for a license, and no sooner bad he spoken than Brockman very ab- ruptly said, “‘Me, too.” This declaration on the part of the iatter was evidently a surprise 10 everybody present except Miss Katie O'Brien. "A little inquiry developed the fact that while parading Broadway Herman and Katie had made up their minds to follow the example of krank and Mamie, Everyihing being legal, and the young men ~wearing that the young laaies short dre: were 18 years of age, the licenses were granted, and a few min utes later, amid giggling and joking, the quar- tet appeared before Judge Clift and were duly joined in holy wediock. Judge Clift would not have been sur- prised if the young ladies had told him that they were but 14, for they certainly looked nearer ‘hat than 18. The young men gave their ages as 21.and 24, and no- body would have taken them for being After the ceremony the quar- tet took the first train back to Ean kran- cisco. — - New Boulevard Planned. OAKLAND, CAL., April 7.—The Board of Trade is considering a new route across the vills in Contra Costa County. kor many years ail kinds of projects have been entertained, but now Mr. Sohst, a director of the fixchange, bha: the conclusion that a road shouid be built which will be such a desirable boule- vard that instead of Oaklanders running to San Francisco to enjoy the ride at Golden Gate Park they will come over here and take advantage of the new boule- vard. Tue proposea road has already been surveved and staked, and it is claimed it can be bailt for $5000. All Know Siiver. OAKLAND, CaL, April 7.—George W. Silver, wbo is now'in the San Francisco jail, is the e Silver that has been no- iorious on this side of the bay for many years. Some time ago he was convicted of forgery by Attorney Tappan of Al meds and sent across the bay. He was pardoned on the understanding that he leave the State. He suffers from crippled limbs and is well known by court habi tues. It is quitein keeping with his past character that he should h tried to prey on gullible individuals with stories of bank accounts and gold mines. Big Real Estate Movement. OAKLAND, CAL., April 7.—The former old farm known as Adams Point is to become a part of the residence part of Osakland. Y(s owners have at last decided to subdivide it into villa lots. This prop- erty, near Lake Merritt, has been held for thirty years and its sale is one of the most active signs in the real estate market that has been noted for five years. in | come to | parent but no real doubt. Myron Frost, manager of the Oakland | Lumber Company, is confined to his bed with fearful injuries to his head, having been seriously beaten last Friday night in a very pecular manner. His face and eyes when seen to-night were black, blue and yellow from bruises, and it will be several days before he is able to get up. He received the beating outside the Ebell clubhouse and that structure still bears the stains from the cuts that were made on his head when he was being knocked against it by his assailants. Detective Williams has made a very complete investigation and has discovered the following facts: Several daysagoa young woman, said to be Miss May Gilli- gan, received an anonymous letter, asking her to meet the writer at the corner of Alice and Fifth streets. She was a little suspicious, but confided the affair to a young man_with whom she was keeping company. He advised her to keep the appointment and promised to keep watch with some friends and that no harm befell ber. On Friday night she was at the appointed place on time and found a gentleman there. Her newly made friend proposed a walk up to the Ebell building lot at Thirteenth and Harrison streets, which is owned by the proprietor of the lumber-mill where Mr. Frost is manager. On reaching the building the man proposed that they pass \brouzh a dark passage back of the buid- ing. The girl demurred, and her com- panion was about to use force when three young men came into view, and wheu the man struck one of them it was a signal for a general melee. The girl fled, and after teating her companion the three fellows took 10 their heels. The same night Mr. Frost was fear- tully beaten in the rear of the Ebell build- ing, but he denies ever seeing a girl there, or knowing anything about one. Mr. Frost lives in a comfortable home with his wife. When seen to-night he said: “I am isfied that my assailants were old-time enemies. I could give two or thres co'umns of their history and then no oue would be any wiser. I have an impression of them in my mind, but none that I conld swear to. 1 don’t wantto place them on their guard by teliing them what I propose to do. That wouid not do. They are the same set that assaulted Mr. Reed four or five years ago. I knew they were aiter me. They did not mis- take me for some one else. I was simply doing a little job for Mr. Reed, measuring a window of his butlding lfir a screen.’’ “If Frost’s story be true.” said Detective Williams, *“there must have been two men beaten at the back of the Ebeil building. Ho has told me that he was beaten by ruf- fians whom he would not recocnize and cousequently that he cannot swear to war- rants against them. He first said be aid not see any one, and iater confessed that he saw three men. The blows came from the front ratbher than the back. He de- nied that he made any outery or defended bimseif, as it was all 0 suiden. His hat, found on the scene of action, torn in two, shows how fierce the battie was. I am perfectly satisfied that he has not told me all heknows. People in the neighborhood beard a cry, bui s it wasnol repeated they paid no further attention to it. We know all of the three assailants, and if Frost will not swear to the complaints we shall put his story down as lacking cre- dence.” Miss Gilligan adds to the mystery. She says she knows nothing about the zffair. “Why do you come to me? I have only beard of it. I told Mr. Williams all I knew, I was at work both alteraoon and evening of that day. Idid not receive a letter to meet any one, and did not meet any one by appointment.” BURNED BY GAS. Fred Chelson’s Search for Cnused au Explosion. OAKLAND, CaL, Avril 7.—Fred Chel- son was severely burned to-night at the Judson Iron Works by an explosion of petroleum. Chelson is water-tender at the works, and e was engaged this even- ing in drawing off petroleum from the tank on a car into the tanks at the works. There was & lexk in ihe pipe and Chelson took a lamp to locate it. He founa it sooner than he expectea‘ and the escaping gas was igaited by the lamp. There was an explosion, and for a brief space Chelson, car and pipe were en- veloped in flames. Asthe man-hole was off the tank the flames were not confined, but could escape, and so very little dam- age wasdone. Chelsor was bronght to the receiving hospital and his hands, face and breast were found to be severely burned. He was able to go home after his wounds were dressed. FIREMEN MUCH EXCITED. A New Law Making the Office of Chief Elective in Fifth-Class citi ALAMEDA, CaL., April 7.—The volun- teer members of the Fire Department of this city are much wrought up this after- noon over the publication of a bill ap- proved March 27, 1897, which provides that in cities of the fifth class, which is Alameaa’s rank, the Chief of the Fire De- partment shall be elected by the mem- bers, subject to confirmation by the Board of Trustees of the city. The joke lies in the fact that few or none knew that such a measure was before the last Legislature, much less that it was enacted and ap- proved. In Alamsda the Chief was al- ways elected until about a year ago, when to place greater responsibilities on his shoulders the office was made appointive, and Chief . K. Krauth Jr. was named to succeed himself. This was wuile a con- test was pending between him and Max Gundlach as to the result of the last pre- viously held election in February, 1896, when it was said that for that elgction company rolls were swelled with® men who never seriously intended to do fire duty, but were brought in to vote. Chief Krauth, who knew of the exist- ence of some measure affecting fire de- { partments of cities of Alameda’s cla though having no knowledge of its pro- | visions, is inclined to believe from a read- ing of the bill thet 1t doesaway aitogether wilh tae paid members of the depart- ment, in that it refers onlv to volunteer companies and makes provision for the paid services of no one save the Cuief. He argues that it is faulty in varlous re- spects, not the least of which is the one that no tenure is prescribed for the Chief. Cnief Krauth says the effect of the bill will bo in Alameda to relezate its depart ment to that of & rural commumity. City Attorney Taylor, who is iree to confess that he had ro knowledge of the bill, does not think that its effect will be to dis- pense with paid firemen, for they are pro- vided for aunder a general clause of the city charter. Both officiaisare wondering, howeyer, just whers the joker in the bill comes in and what was the motive for its enactment. Uniformity in Vacations. ALAMEDA, CaL, April 7.—Directors Tisdale ana Knowles of the Board of Edu- cation and Superintendent Suilivan have been appointed a commitiee to confer with representatives from the school boards of San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley to the end that there may be uniformity in the time for holding school vacations in the cities named, especially during the midsummer season. The movement is the suggestion of the Ala- meda County Teachers’ Benefit Associa- tion. a Leak A Soclety Event. ALAMEDA, CaL, April 7.—Announce- ment has been made of the engagement in marriage of Miss Maud Milter and J. H. Masterson of San Francisco and of the fumber firm of Hickman & Masterson.

Nott has been teaching the boys how to place balls and how to strike effectively, with the result that they are doing vastly better work than when they followed no scienuitic principles while at the bar. The entire team i3 rounding into good form and all the old players are out again. Hennesey ana Krug. who played at first and third respectively on last year's Var- sity nine, have recently been laid up with sprained’ ankles, but ‘are once more at their places. The injuries to Krug and Hennesey caused Berkeley’s standard to droop for a time, but with their return nopes of a successful series of contests against the Palo Alto players have been renewed. Wheeler of last year's team is certain of his place behind the bat. Kaarsburg will pitch in Saturday's game against the Palo Alto nine and Sykes, his rival in the box, will hold down one of the outfieia positions.

The entire infield with the exception of Kaarsburg, who takes Mordeu's place in the box, is made up of'9 Varsity players. This fact is looked upon as being consider- able of an advantage for the Berkeley men. Several new men wili be found in the field clamoring for places on the team.
