Booth Suit to Go to Trial. OAKLAND, CarL., April 9.—In the suit of Frank Booth to-day against the Oak- | land Consolidated Companv for damages for the killing of his two children Judge Ellsworth has decided that the motion for a nonsuit was not borne out by the argu- ment of delendant’s attorney.

Dr. Coyle. e in matrimony Dr. D.D. and Mrs. Alma Crowley. Two months ago the fact that the doctor and his wife had decided upon a reunion was published in THE CALL, and since that time has been frequently con- tradicted by interested parties, but it bas always been the intention of Mr. ana Mrs. | Crowley to bury their past and again live together since a few days alter the un- pleasant divorce proceedings. In this reunion the children of the Crowleys have played an important part. No matter bow great the temporary dif- ferences between the parents, there was on the part of either an undying love for their two chi From the night on which Mrs. Crowley took her little ones from their heme and took apartments at the Metropole there has never a day passed that the doctor has not visited the children. Little by little thesa vi-its to | the children grew more frequent, and their effect was to bring 1o the minds of their parents a realization of the fact thata grievous mistake bad been made, and that for the benefit of all concerned it would be better to forget sll atout the circum- stances of the past few months and start anew married Life. The unhappy circumstances leading up | fo the divorce have since proved to have been greatly exsggerated, and there is | now no doubt that more of theunpleas. antness was due to the misrepresentutions | of others than to anything that actually | transpired between the doctor and Mrs, | Crowley. Immediately after the divorce was | granted Mrs, Crowley took up her resi- dence at the home which was awarded to her, and ior many months the doctor ha- been a reguiar visitor to his old home, and it was therefore no surprise when the announcement was made of their wed. | aing to-morrow morning. Dr. Crowley has lately been appointed to the State Board of Health, aua is a most _ successful medical and surgical practitioner. Mrs. Crowley is a lady of charming personality, a native of Ken-| tucky and a musician of note, having published several meritorious composi- tions. INOREASED VALUATIONS. The Deputy County Asscssor Finds Over $165,000 Worth of Property More Than in 1896 ALAMEDA, CaL, April 9.—Deputy County A:sessor Johnson has completed the tark of assessing the property of this city, and finds a total of $165850 more than last year. Within the year there have been upward of 175 new houses built, | which accounts for the greater portion of the increase. Tue oid improvements show a decreuse of $34,000 and an increase of $8800, while there wus a decrease of per- sonal property of $20,000, caused by the removal ot several stores, but an incremse of over $10,000 from others coming in. Altogether the showing is considered very satisfactory. At the Targets.

Ithad burned for quite a while before some of the em- ployes noticed it. Tife alarm was given, and for several minutfs there was a lively stampede of the employes, who ran for their lives. People living in the vicinity ot the powder works do not take any chances when a fire is discovered, but try to put as much distance between them- | selves and the fire as possible. If they can put a hill between them they are ail the more pleased. This feeling animated the cmployes as they ran away from that burning guncotton storehouse. Their fright was greatly increased by a knowledge of the fact that the nitro- klycrrine house was located next to the burning building, and that nitro-giycerine is a more dangerous explosive than gun- cotton. As it was seen that the flames were con- | fined to the one building and that the contents did not speedily explode some of | the employes returned an succeeded in | keeping the fire from spreading. They did not, nowever, save the guncotton building, and with its contents it wax burned to the ground. The explosive, bowever, was in such a condition that it could not explode with any violence, and the greatest danger was that the flames shou.d reach the nitro-glycerine house, Captain Thomas Hig ins, the night watchman of tue Giant Powder Works, also saw the blaze, and his long experience having taught him that blazes in that di- rection portend nothing pleasant he gave the alarm, and help was leaving the giant works for the fire when word was received thai all danger was passed. .

FROST'S EMPLOYER TALKS OF A PLOT Says His Manag>r Was Not Beaten by a Girl's Friends. Is the Fourth Time That the Gang Has Committed a Brutal Assault. The Young Fe!lows Declare that Frost Dare Not Swear Out Warrants Against Them. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, April 9. } The mystery surrounding the beating of Myron Frost, manager of the Oakland Lumber Company, is no nearer solution 80 far as Mr. Frost is concerned. The po- lice, however, do not believe that two men were beaten at the same time in the same place, and are iuclined to discredit Mr. Frost's story. As a matter of fact the three young fel- lows who beat the man near the Ebell building who was attempting to take lib- erties with a young woman declare that the man they beat was Frost, Detective Williams has ceased working on the story, and declares that if Frost | will swear to warrants against those who assailed him they will be vigorousiy prose- | cuted. On the other hand, it Frost still refuses to take out warrants the detective | suys that be will not trouble any further | with the case. | Frost sticks to his story that after dark | last Friday night he went to the rear of i the Etel building atthe request of the | owner, Mr. Reed, to measure a window | for a screen and that while he was doing | 50 he was set upon by some young fellows | who he says he cannot recognize. He then goes on to say that he is certain that they are some young fellows who have had | a grievance against him forsome time and | were looking for an opportunity to do bim up. Frost denies thai he ever wrote an anonymous letter to a young lady or that any young lady was near the build- ing when he was so violently assaulted. Thbere is justa chance that the anony- mous letter story may have been invented by Frost's assailants as an excuse for their conduct afier they realized what they had This is partially borne out by the statzment of Mi:s Gilligan that she did not receive a letter and was at work on the evening of the assault, The three young fellows, however, who are credited with beating Frost, bave | stated more than once that Miss Gilligan | was there, and that they were there to protect her, and they defiantly sssert that they are perfectly safe, for Frost dare not swear oul warrants for their arrest. “We know who tie men sre,” said Mr. Reed, who is the proprietor of the lumber- yard, “but I do not wish togive any names | jutnow. They make their headguarters down about a saloon on the water front, They are the same crowd that assaulted me some years ago, and have had a grudge against us for years.

BERKELEY’S ELECTION. A Bitterly Contested Campaign in the College Town Drawing to a Cloge. BERKELEY, CAL., April 9.—One of the hottest p. litical campaigns ever held in Berkeley will close to-morrow night, when the candidates will all have com- pleted their fight for the local offices. Sunday will intervene, and then the uay of vouing comes. At the last moment prominence has been given to & new issue—that of the Berkeley Floral Society’s plan to have the town come under the provisions of the State tree-planting act. The proposal will be on the ballots tor voters to approve or disapprove by stamving opjosite the ‘“yes' or “no.”” Superintendent of Streets Chick has declared strongly in favor of the plan, as have also some of the non- partisan party's leaders. “The contest for the offices has been fur- ther embittered by the effort to have the Non-Partisan party’s excluded from the ballots. The laiter declare that the legal movements made aro a plan lo deprive them of riguts by pushing technical points, and if the final decision of the court goes against them, they will en- deavor to have the whoe election de- clared invalia. The present officers, who would then hoid over for two years more, are Non-Partieans, and most of them are on that party’s ticket for re-election. The ground of such an effort would be that proper sample ballots were not distributed. Should the court now order a change in the ballots, it would be impossible for the Town Clerk to prepare ballots anew in time for the election. 2 —— Proof Agninst Hard Times. OAKLAND, CaL..

BERKELEY, CaL, April 9.—On the eve of the first of the series of three base- ball games to be played sgainst Sianford this season the Berkeley men are san- guine of a victory. With as good a pitcher as last year and with a better ag- gregation of batters the U. C. men feel that they will stand a good show of vic- tory against the Palo Alto nine. It is conceded that Berkeley's battery is su- verior to that of Stanford, but on the other hand the team work of the cardinal players ana their buoyancy through for- mer successes tends to offset the superi- ority of Berkeley’s pitcher and catcher.

P, HUNTINGTON VISITS BERKELEY West and North Berkeley May Be Connected by Rail He Was Accompanied by Man- ager Kruttschnitt and C F. Crocker. They Make a Trip to th: Prcpased Terminus of th: Valley Ro:d at Richmond. BERKELEY, CaL, April 9.—Collis P. Huntington visited Berkeley to-day and as aresult of his tour of the town there are all sorts of rumors afloat regarding prospective enterprises to be carried out by the company of which he is the head. The railroad president made his appear- ance in the University town shortly before noon, in company with General Manager Kruttscinitt and Ciarles F. Crocker. The three disunguished visitors were escorted by Charles A. Bailey, one of Berkeley’s largest proverty-owners. They drove to all points of interest, first making a tour of the university grounds and then procecding to view the town generally. The presence of the great man was soon noised about and there was lively specu- lation about the object of the visit. Hur tington, Kruttschnitt and Crocker are not wasters of time, and it is not regarded as likely that they spenta large partof a| v hot day driving about in the sun in search of heaith. Thatsome plans of imjort- brought the big irio to the university town is Tegarded as certain, but the magnate did not open his lips to announce any enter- nor did any of those who ought to know vouchsufe any information on the subject. At the local raiiroad offices nothing WAs to be learned. Some of the officiuls did notknow that Hunlington was in the town. They had heard that some one had seen him, or that some visitor had been taken for him, butas to railroad business that might bave brought him, they were as speechless as the proverbial oyster. Outside of railroad circles, bowever, gossip was plentiful. Among the Teports current is one that better facilities are to be provided for North and West Berkeley. The ltter now hasa single | train that goes to and fro from Shell Mound, while the former is on the regular Berkeley logal ine. Berween the twois the old unused California and Nevada Railroad, running from nesr Snell Mound northward in the direction of Point Richmond, the terminus taiked of for the new Valley’ Railroad. leralta Park, a growing residence distriot, and Schmidts Viliage, both at present ill suppiied with raii- road lines, are wiihin the district inclosed by tne two Southern Preific lines mentioned. The visitors went over tne ground and pro- ceeaed to Richmona Point. It is stated that a 10op to connect North and West Berkeley and to inciude the Peraita Park district will” be consiructed. Such a line would cover ground now only 10 be reached by driving from the Berryman, East Berkeloy or Delaware-sueet station, and would secure for its builders the patronage of what will one day be a residence district well settled. As & part of the plan, it is said, the California and Nevada Raiiroad wili be absorbed to ex- clude possible future competition. The most vaiuable things about this road are its fran- chise and the grading that_has been doue, as the tracks and rolling stock are not such as could be put to use by Huntington's corpo- ration. EFFIE HOLSTROM, Judge Seawell Will Decide the Ques- tion of Her Guardianship Next Wednesday Afternoon. Judge Seawell heard & reargument of the issues involved in the Effie V. R. Holstrom guardianship contest, and his courtroom was as usual crowded with women who have for several months manifested intense interest in this case. The little girl, Effie, was born out of wedlock four years and a half ago, and was detivered by her mother, Sarah N uire, to Mrs. Lucinda Holstrom, with a written agreemen: that the foster-mother shouid receive the child and rear it as her own. Somo time ago the mother married Mr. Q'Art-nay of Solano County, and sought to re- gniu possession of her child. Thisled to the filing of conflicting petitions for guardianship by Mrs. @’Artensy on oue side and Mrs, Holstrom on the other. A trial was had two weeks ago,and on the showing mede Judge Seawell placed the little one in the custody of the foster-mother, Mrs. Holstrom, but owing to the fact that the matier had not been fully argued he declined to sign the judgment-roll and reopened the case for further argument. Matt I sultivan appeared for Mrs. d'Arte- nay.

She was happlly mar- ried 10 8 man who knew nothing of her early indiscretions, yet she took the chances of nrousing his anger by boldly demanding her cnild and letting bim and the whole world know of her past. Touching the question of cruelty to the child in separating it from its foster-mother Mr. Sullivan thought it would not take more than two weeks' time with kind treatuient, candy and such things to change the cours e of i1s affections so that it would be just as de- voted 10 118 0WN MOLher A5 1t NOW Seems L be devoted to its foster-mother. Mr. >ullivan thought that the temporal ard eternal wel- fare oi the child demanded that Mrs. d'Arte- nay should be given the custody of her off- spring. Mr. Deuprey responded by making light of Mr. Sulliven’s ideas regarding the ease witn which a child’s affections may be wou away. ‘The learned counsel on the other side had never known the jors and sorrows, the re- spousibiiies and ihe pleasures of Tearing children. As for himself, if such considers. tionsas had been suggested couid win nis children from him he hoped that the shafts of heaven might strike him dead. Mr. Deuprey said that aiter the child, Effie, was taken by force from Mrs. Holstrom, Mrs. d’Artenay bad the custody of the child for iwo weeks, and had tne privilege of close assceia- tiou with her for two more montas, yet was | not able to win her affections. The court had witness3d that the child is devotedly attached to its icster-mother, Mrs. Holstrom, while for Mrs. dArtensy it'had ouly a feeliug of aver- sion.

Ticket of the Independsnts Also in Danger—The Latest Sensation of the Campaign. BERKELEY, CaL, April 9.—The sen- sation of the campaign season in Berkeley was sprung to-night, with the probable outcome that the tickets of the Non-Par- tisans and Independent Taxpayers will be thrown out at the election which takes place on Monday. A writ of review was served on Town Clerk Hanscom to-night, sworn to by Sam Fisher of the People’s party, ordering him to appear before Judge Greene to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock to show cause why he allowed the names of the non-partisans and independent taxpayers to appear on the official ballots. In the complaint it is alleged that the Town Clerk committed an error in re- ceiving the affidavits of nominations of these two parties upon the ground that they were not represented at the last gen- eral election. A demurrer was filed by Clerk Hanscom through City Attorney Hayne. The de- murrer was ‘argued before Judge Greene of Department 2 last night. Upon the conciusion of the argument the court practically decided the case, but on the request of Attorney Chapman he con- tinued the case until to-day to hear fur- ther argument. When court was called Judge Greene asked the attorneys for the plaintiffs if they had experienced a change of heart as he had intimated last night that they had made a mistake in their m thod of pro- cedure and should have issued a writ of review. Attorney Graber, for the plain- tiffs, admitted that he was wrong in issu- ing a writ of mandamus, and the court then sustained the demurrer. T isleft the case right where the contending par- ties began and so the writ of review was procured to-night. — A Russian nobleman has followed the advice of Count Tolstoi, and divided his estates among the peasants, reserving but seven acres for his own cultivation. —— Continental Club.

The Chicago ¢ Times-Herald’’ Corre- spondent at Knoxville Meets an Old Friend. From the Times-Herald, Chicago. L At the Normal Insutute at Knoxville, Towa, on Augusi 6, the Kuoxville correspondent of the Cnicago Times-Herald was much surprised to meet his old friend, A. T. Conn, whom he believed to be & life-iong cripple, {rom rheu- matism and sciatica, moving aronnd as brisk asanybody. As the .ast lime Mr. Conn had been seen by the Times-Hera.d man he was on cruiches, and in a terr.ble condition, the sub- ject of his recovery was the topic ot conversa. tion. The fo,lowing is a resume of Mr. Conn’s o v: You are aware that from overwork and ex- posure in April, 1894, I coniracted sciatica and rheumatism, sud grew sieadily worse, notwithstanding tbe best of medical treat- men that the nelghbornood afforded, until T ‘was at last confined to my bed, and what little locomotion 1 performed was done on crutehes., From the time I was taken untii August, 1895, Itried every remedy i could hear of, withoui auy relief whatever. 1t was at that time that a friend recommended Dr. Wili{ams' Pink i d was so enthusiastic over their vir- ~that T was persuaded to iry the, gan to take them in September, 189 Tather discouraged at first to find myseli de- cidedly worse, but was urged by my friends to perse and give the medicine & fair irial, so I did. After a while I o feel an improvement, though it was not noticeable to those around me, but I knew I was better, and soon was so elated that { foolisniy disexrded my crutches, nd received a severe fali for mny pains. This so retarded my recovery that I became dis- heartened, and gave up taking Pink Pills, so great was iny discouragement. 1, shortly this mishap and set-back, began ngain 10 inke the Pink Piils steadily and perseveringly, and in & short iime could walk wihout erutches, and in January, 1896, was able to discontinue the medicine altogeher, being entirely cured. Since then I have clered o piece of brush isnd,and planted and attended this years crop. I took in mll sevenieen boxes of Dr. Wiltiems Pink Pills before I was entirely cured.” Mr. Conw’s address is Pleasantyille, Marion Co., Tora, where he is as_well known as in Knoxyill, his former home, Dr. Wi.liams' Pink P,1is contain, in & con- densed form,ail the elements necessary to give new life'and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
