OAKLAND, CaL., May 7.—The petition filed with the City Council to alternate the fire hydrants 1s gradually being with- drawn. During the past two days the City Clerk has received numerous letters from the Pacific Coast agents of the lead- ing fire insurance companies, stating that they signea the petition not knowing what it meant and requesting that their names be withdrawn. Colonel L. L. Bromwell of this city, the coast agent for one of the companies, is at present in Los Angeles, and he deciares that his name 1s an absolute forgery. He J:as telegraphed that he never signed any such petition and does not believe it would be right to do so. No one seems to know at whose instiga- tion the petition was prepare!, bu: it was plainiy simed at the Oakland Water Com- pany, and yet its rivals declare that they know not.ing whatever of the document, When the matter comes before the Fire and Water Commitiee there will be a Lively session, as representatives of each company will beon hand to give their ws, President Dingee bas declared that to hange the hydrants would be a needless xpease and an injustice 1o his company, Most Complexion Powders have a vulgar glare, but Pozzoxr’s is & beautifier, whose effects are lasting. have three of the five | | | | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1897, 11 ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. and would tend to force a consolidation of the two companies, which would mean the raising of the rates, to the detriment of the householders. Three Small Fires. OAKLAND, Cavn, May 7.—The resi- dence of Captain Thoma< Mein, owned by Hugh Crség, was d scovered oa fire this orenoon by the cardener. The blaze was extinguished before it did more than $500 damage. The fire was caused by (efective insulation. Shortly after noon the department was called upon to extinguish a fire in the Chinese washhouse of Lee Sing, 422 Fifth street. Live ashes caused the fire. The damage was only nominal. Assistant Chief Murdock arrested the owner for | violatire tne fire ordinance. | A112:30 this morning fire was discov- ered in a second-hand store on Twelith s'Teet, between Broadway and Washing- ton. An old mattress was found burning in the center of the store. The Chief is satistied that it is a case of incendiarism. | Begged to be Killed.

ALAMEDA, CaL., May 7.—A little ad- itional light is thrown on the right of the Supervisors to build a tunnel under the estuary vy the fact that they are at this present moment considering the project of boring a tunnel through the hills be- yond Ozkland for the purpose of construet- | ing a wagon road into the Contra Costa valleys beyord, and encouraging the farm- ers of that region to come to the county seat to trade. No one has raised any objection on le- gal grounds to this plan, it being conceded that tunnel-building is a necessary ad- | junct of road-making that is iika.y to arise in a hilly region, and it being conceded | that under the general law the Supervisors | have authority to undertake such an en- terprise. This being the case the friends | of the estuary tunnel want ¢o know why | it shoud be illegal to build a tunnel un- der a siream and not illegal to build one | through a hill. | sl A FOR IMPROVEMENT.

Living With Another “M-s. Bi- anchi” Who Recentiy At- tempted Su:cide. Will Havs to Answer for Deserting His Family of Little Ones in Tiis City. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcIsco CALL, 908 Broadway, May 7. } Mrs, Bianchi lelt Oakland a few days ago and has succeeded in having her husband placed in jail in Nevada'City on a charge of deserting his family. Bianch1 was an Oakland barber, who owned considsrable property and was very saving. Severa Jyears ago his first wife died and a little later Bianchi married her si-ter, with whom he lived moderately | huppy for a few years. About eighteen months ago Bianchi left his wife and toree little ones and representing himself as a single man bestowed his affections on another woman in this city. He kept out of his wife’s sight and was surprised one evening to receive a visit from her at his | apartments. The interview only lasted a few seconds. Mrs. Bianchi bad taken a gun along with her and as soon as she opened the door she commenced firing at her husband and a second later he rushed past her into the sireet with a bullet in his hip. He was taken tothe Receiving Ho-pital and when he recovered he | promised to be a dutiful husband and was received back by his wife. A short time elapsed and he disappeared once more, and nothing was heard of him. He left Oakland ana his wife did not know where he was until about two weeks azo. At that time a friend from Nevada City came to Oakland and stated that he had left Bianchi in the mountain town. According to the visitor's story Bianchi was conducting a barber-shop in Nevada City with the assistance of a very hand- some woman, whom everybody believed was his wile, and who was introduced as Mrs. Bianchi. The barber's insane j ousy led to his own undoing, for on "two occasions, while quarreling, he cut the woman with a razor. Her life was made so miserable that s attempted suicide. On her recovery she declared that she would make Bianchi suffer for his conduct, and baving heard | that he had a wife and three chiidren in this city she instituted an investigation. She soon found Mrs. Bianchi proper, and the two women decided thatthe barber should pay the penalty of his crime. Mrs. Bianchi left Ogkland "and as soon as she ot to Nevada City swore out a warrant against ker husband for desertion and he is now in jail. If he has married the Ne- vada City woman be wiil aiso have to answer a cliarge of bigamy. Board of Trade. OAKLAND, CAL, May 7.—The newly elected directors of the Board of Trade met to-night and effected an organization by electing J. P. Taylor president, G. B. M. Gray treasurer and Crajgie Sharp sec- | retary and delegate o the State board. The Dog Show. OAKLAND, CAL, May 7.—The entries for ibe dog show closed to-night, and the list coniains over 300 entries.

BERKELEY, CaL, May 7.—The action of the Board of Education in creating the | office of City Superintendent of Schoo.s hae cccasioned a grent deal of discussion, and now a petition is in circulation ask- |ing that the course taken be recousidered that the office be abolished. The | and salary of the new officer was set at $2500 a year and F. E. Perham of Santa Ana was appornted to the place. The opponents of such action at first claimed that it was illegal, qnoting the THE NEW OFFICIALS AND THEIR IDEAS—NO. 4. City Attorney Dow ias a very pronounced view regarding the locating of sajoons in residence districts. Mr. Dow lives in East Oakland, and was always opposed to granting licences in the Twenty-third avenue district. He believes that the saloons should be restricted to busine: sections, and while aCouncilman he always voted in opposition to them at Twenty-third avenue. Monday night he experienced a very severs shock when he learned that the Council had granted licences for that district, charter provision which makes three years' residence in Berkeley a needed qualification to hold office in the town. It is thought, however, that the ~chool pos- tions filled by the Board of Education are not officers within the meaning of the charter, The petition for which signatures are being asked sets forth the followins rea- sons why a city superintendent should not be appointed: First—That in view of the lack of school buildings and the needs of the mew school- houses, now being erected, we consider that the money might be spent 10 better ndvantage. Second—That the amount appropriated from all sources for the maintenance of public schools will not warrant such an amount being paid for a superintendent without cut- ;l.r;fl thesupply of other articles more neces- ¥. Third—That we hava full confidence of the executive abilities of Principais Waterman, Warnecke and Congdon, and do not think they need &n overseer or watchman placed over them, The petition will be presented to the Board of E iucation at its next meeting. New Church Building. BERKELEY, CaL, May 7.—The South Berkeley Presbyterian Church is prepar- ing to secure a place of worship of its own. The church, of which Rev. F. J.

MEETING OF EVARGELS, ourteenth Annual Session of the Local Associa- tion, Committees Appointed and an Ad- dress by Bishop Brey. foge'. The fourteenth annual conference of the Evangelical A<sociation convened yester- day morning at the Emanuel Church on Twelfth street, between Market and Mis- sion. The ovening exercises consisted of a prayer by Bishop Breyfogel, followed by singing by the congregation. The Bishop then gave & conlerence address. He said {in part: Fathers and Brethren: The annual confer- euce {s the itinerant's fireside. After & year of faithful toil we gather in tiis, our ecciosi- astical home, to recount the joys'of an itiner- ant’s life, to report the resulis of the work, &nd to gather up new strength for dutics 1o come. As when A traveler gains & mountain summit, takes & long look over the country already traversed, aud an eager survey of the journey still beyond, so the iunerant preachur reaches an annual Pisgah of hopeful prospect 8 well s of careful re(rospecs Ttis & time for earnest and unflinching in- | quiry into the real motives of ministerinl ac- Uvity. Of all men in the world a Cnristian | minister needs to know his own heart and its real relations, The annual conference offers opportunities for new mental and moral equipment, and can | become 10 each member & tuwe for greut spirit- ual quickeniag. In these days when some men, who claim to be preachers of God’s word, assail the very truth they profess to proclaim, applving to the divine reveiation the method'of the rational- |18t we do weil to emphasize with increased clearness and force the veritics of the Gospel, and to accept unhesitatingly the miracuions as wellas the moral and historical elements of the Bible, It affords me great pleasure to know that I address & compauy of devoted m-n who trust fuily in the truth which they preaci to o hers. The Bishop then appointed Dr. H. Cordes and Rev. J. Kraber and Rev. G. Glung assistants. The annual investig: tion into the conduct of the ministers fol- lowed, showing that all had indeed been well with the association during the past vear. Credentials were voted to the Rev. Kari Meckel to the Minnesota Confer- ence, At the afternoon session Rev. E. F. Ber- ner was elected presiding elder for the next four years of the Los Angeles district. ‘The reports of the various churches were then read, sbowing all of them to be in a most floarishing condition.

She will not appear in tights. That much bas been decided, and it has also been virtually determined that the play she will appear in will be “East Lynne,” and the partshe will undertake wiil be that of Barbara Hare. She is now undergoing daily tutelage in the dramatic art, but has not yet begun the study of her lines. She deciares she bas no fear in the latter regard, and that sie can become letter-perfect in time to ruake her appearance in two or three weeks withoui trouble. While a contract with Mrs. Carrie Clark Ward for a tour of the State has been gned it has not yet been definitely de- cided at what theater the benefit perform- ances for Lillian Ashley, her sister, will be given, nor when. They may be given two weeks from to-day, or, perhaps, not before (hree weeks. The part of Barbara Hare will permit of fine costuming, and it 1s understood that the gowns that Emma Ashley wiil don on the stage will be marvels of the modiste's art. e s L Shooter Davls Was Lucky.

Asked Supervisor Mitchell to Lead Him Down to the Bay. D sircus to Die, but Without Any- thing by Which Hs Coull Satisfy H's Desire. OARLAND OrrFice, 8ax Fraxcisco CALL,% 908 Broadway, May 7. A man probably more miserable and with less to live for than any man in Cali- fornia wandered into the Hall of Records to-dey searching for a Sapervisor to give him relief. The old fellow was Frank Sovranos, a Spaniard, about 60 years of age. He is totally blind, vartially paralyzed and quite unable to take care of himself. He arrived in this city last night, roamed the streets alone until this morning and as soon as daylight came he wandered to the blind home on Telegraph avenue, where he applied for admission. As there are forty applications on file at the home Sovranos could not be received. He came to this city with a reccommenda- tion from the Supervisors of Los Angeles County that he be received into the home. They furnished him transportation to Oakland for that purpose. Supervisor Mitchell li-tened patiently to the old feilow’s story. He said he bad no money, no food, no place to go and as he is not a resident of this county Supervisor Mitchell could not render him assistance from county funds. “Then if you can’t help me, old man, “lead me toward the bay so that I may drown myself. It does not cost anything to die tiat way, and I have no object in Jiving. I have not the means even to get anything with which to kill mysell.” The District Attorney was consulited ro- garding the pitiful plight of the old Bpaniard, and he advised that he be sent to the county infirmary, and later in the day this was done. Sovranos was born near the old mission in Monterey. His fatber was one of the old Spanish settlers, and balf a century ago wasa prominent don. The son has spent his lifetime in this State and re- menibers much interesting history of the eariy days of California, when his family helped to govern. With the deciine of the Spaniards they lost all their properiy, and now the old man is absolutely penni- less. OONTRA COSTA TUNNEL Can the Supervisors Build It and Refase One Undor the Estuary? OAKLAND, CiL, May 7.—A good deal of talk is being inulged in as a resuit of the recent decision of District_Attorney Snook relative to the power of the Board of Supervisors to con- structa tunnel ander ihe estuary. Taliesin Evans, ex-Councilman of the Sixth Ward, sddressed the following to him this afternoon: I observe that District Attorney Snook ren- dered an opinion ata meeting of interesied citizens held in the hall of the Board of Super- visors last Wednesday night 10 the effect that the board had no authority to spend the county money for the boring of a tunnel under the estuary, its power being restricied to the cou- struct.on of a bridge across that waterway. If the opinion s sound, caa the Supervisors ippropriste any moiey for the boring of a tunnel through the Contra Cosia range on the routs of the Kennedy road, which, I understand, is contemplated? Wha is the 'difference between going under the summit of the Contra Costa range to avoid going overit, and going under 8an Antonio estuary to avoid crossiog over it? I am not advocating the one nor declaring against tne other, but asking a question which two under- 1akings iuvolving n similar engineering opera- tion maturally suggest. There may be & ma- terial difference in the opinion of the District Attorney between the right of the Supervisors to spend public money to get under water and their right 1o spend it to get under rock, but a plain citizen confesses bis inability to sée it. “The tunnel proposition tbrough the hills is an incident of the power given the Bupe:visors,” said District Attorney S8nook this afternoon in reply to the letter, “rela- tive to the construciion of highways, while the estuary plan shows the absence of such power. “Outside of muaicipalities within its jurisdiction the county has absolute power at present, but within the munici- pality the city or town takes precedence and is responsible for its own highways. “Just there is the catch. The estuary is within two citie —Oakland and Ala. meda—with the southern line of the for- mer serving as the northern line of the latter. As a consequence, the county bLas no control, except in so far as the acts of Legisiature give it privileges. This was the case in the Webster-street bridge. It is obvious that the county cannot over- step its limited power and jume the rip};: to construct a tunnel, when it is merely ailowed to build a bridgs.” Lecture to the Police. OAKLAND, Car., May 7.—Chief of Po- lice E. Lioyd had his men on dress parace before the City Hall this afternoon. Tne unu-al spectacie of o many blue coats together attracted considerable of a crowd. They were marched upsiairs in columns of two and given their regular quarterly lecture by the Chief. REAL ESTATE TXANSACTIONS.
