Cohn lost about 130 gallons of milk. Cohn's dairy was examined by Dr Rowell last week. He found thai there were seven diseased cows in Cohn's herd and ordered them killed.

Dr. Rowell stopped the wagon on Central street and emptied | every can of milk it contained, sbout | thirty gallons in all, into the gutter. i Dr. Rowell declares that he wil! con- tinue 10 seiz all milk that Cohn tries to deliver until he gets rid of the tuberculo- sis cows in his berd.

An inspection of the ruins of this morn- ing's fire at Third and Washington streets showed that the damages to surrounaing property are greater than were antici- pated immediately after the disaster. Many dwelling-houses surrounding the burned mills were badly damaged, and the loss will not be less than $50,000, with in- surance not amounting to one-half ot that amoant. At the southwest corner of the burned district the dwelling-house occupied by Charles Matthias was saved by a wall of salt. The Coward Balt Works wers lo- czted next to Mr. Matthias’ house and were totally destroyed. The wreck pre- sents a peculiar appearance, for the ware- house and all the fixtures have been burned to the ground, but th® great stacks of salt piled twenty feet high remain in- | tact, and it was owing to this firewall that the flames did not go clear through to Clay street on the southern end of the block. The flames leaped over the top of the salt wall and charred the roof, but the structure was taved because of the im- penetrability of tnousands of sacks of the salt. The fierceness of the , which did not FROM A CHURCH CHOIR TO THE STAGE OAKLAND, Car, May 2L.—Miss Virginia Goodsell, a well-known church chorister and popular singer ol this city, has against the opposition of her relatives and friends decided to adopt the stuze asa profession. For several weeks she has been quietly accustoming herself to her new duties at the Alcazar and Grand Opera-house, but will make her formal debut as an actress next Monda; night at the Oakland Theater, taking the part of Barbara Hare in “Kast Lynne.” Her mo'her and sister aro strongly opposed to her new step and ouly agreed to countenance her desire yesterday when thev found that her mind was made up. Miss Goodsell is well-known as a singer at the Tenth-avenue Baptist Church ana alto as a member of the First Methodist SBunday-school, The announcement to-day that she would go upon the stage is a great sarprise even to her intimate friends, last with any great degree of fury for more than forty minutes, is easily reen to-day by looking over the ruins. The safe that was in Ingler & Atkinson’s car- house became redhat aud the brass han- dies were meited off the door, but the contents were only partially destroyed. while the safedoor was twisted almost off the hinges. All the fine machinery is ais- torted and broken, and a large circular saw looks as t ough it had been put through a crimping machin John Dorety, who lived in a little house between the (wo mills, was hunting this morning for some trinkets that were in his home, but so comvletely was all trace of the dwelling obliterated that he had to take bearings !rom across the street to be certain where his houe had been. The fierceness of tho flames carried his littie house into the air and distributed it over dozens of blocks. The insurance carried by Mann & Mole and by the Coward Salt Company was only sufficient to pay the amount of their mortgages, and they are consequently heavy losers. OFFERED A DIVIDEND. George Foster Says Contractor Consta- ble Proposed to Divide With Him. ALAMEDA, CAL, May 2L.—A very un- expected disclosure was made yesterday in the trial of the suit of Constable against the city of Alameda, for extras alleged to bave been furnished by bim in the cen- etruction of the addition to the electric power-house. Constuble took the work for | $1970, the bid beinz a very low one, and Foster was given the position of superin- tendent of construction. Threedays after the work was commenced Foster says Con- stable approached him with a proposition to stani in with him in charging a good price for extras, saying that if he would do 80 he would divide whatever he got from the city on that account. Foster refused, but never rold about the offer until he went on the witness-stand, when his story created a decided sensation. udge Hall was very plain spoken in remarks as to the evidence given by the plaintiff, and it is reporied that the authorities of this city are seriously con- sidering proceedings for the punishment of Constable on criminal charges, Academy Commencement, ALAMEDA, CAt., May 2L.—The gradu- ating exercises of the University Academy took place last nightand were well attend- ed.

OAKLAND, CaL., May 21.—Snell’s sem- inary, which for many years has been a well-known educational institution in this State, went out of existence with the commencement exercises yesterday, The seminary was started eighteen years ago by Miss Snell and her brother, ex-Coun ~ cilman R.

STARVED WHILE AT THE SEMINARY Probationer Brasefield Told by God to, Oppose the Presbytery. An Active Young Preacher D:- clares His Position Without Mincing Words. His C-ngregation Wants Him Or- dainel, but Th:re Are Pastors Who O j:ct QaxLAND OFFICE AN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broad way, May 2L H. D. Brasefield, pastor of the Union- street Presvyterian Church. has a thorny path ahead of him. The story of his con- flict with Mo lerator Perry regarding his ance by the presbytery, published in THE CALL, created great interest and will be finally decided in the fall. Mr. Brasefield took the church when it was partially disorganized and split into factions, He was allowed to preach there by the presbytery, upon the understand- ing that he would complete his theologi- cal training. He has given great satis- faction and his congregation is anxious to have him become their permanent and fully ordained pastor. At the meeting of the presbytery many objections were made to his ordination because he had not complied with the Presbyterian polity. Mr. Brasefield caused the moderator much uneasiness last night when in defending his position hesaid: ‘““According to the general opin- ion, one would suppose that instead of be- ing a candidate for ordination I wasone for San Quentin.” This evoked a vigorous protest, but the young minister was per- mitted to proceed. He told of how he had applied at a previous presbyterial meeting for a license, and how he had been permitted to preach at that time. He continned: *“I have found out that to talk with man is a mistake, so I talked to God. Against my conscience I had to take into my head'and heart while at the seminary things that did not belp me to save souls but that caused me to doubt my Bible. One day in February I spentin prayer and received a baptism of the holy spirit not to be had in any seminary. asked God then 1f I should remain longer at the seminary and he clearly told me no. 1 had to leave the seminary owing to improperly cooked food secured at the Co-operative Club at 12 cents a day. 1 came over here and got food that would sustain life and yesterday I rode ten miles on my wheel in forty-five minutes, and with proper food I can work sixieen pours a dsy with any man. I returned to the seminary and told the faculty plainly that I must have certain food if I was to keep up my strength. They placed me on the 5i(‘E Iist, but I was not sick but lacked proper food to nourish me. When I went befors this presbytery for examination I did not make any arrangements, as some know of, to have some brotherget up after a few questions had been asked and move that 1 ba passed; but I stood ready, and do now, to answer your gestions for six hours if you see fit. “I have found that it is better to trust in God than put my faith in men, even of men in this presbyiery. I may have vielated some law of the church, but the president of the seminary said that had 1 requested I should have been excused from the examination. Whatever this presbytery may finally do I stand before it and uod and know that I bave his com- mendation though I may have your con- demnation. I have never moved to break a | lswand have done everything above board. I bave awaited before God and have been led by hisvoice. 1am mnothing, as [ have given mysel! entire'y to God to e used as be sees fit. “I am ready to take the examination for the full three-year course, or even the four-year, if necessary, and ask nothing except what the examination may show [ am entitled to. I am ready to stand by the result. In law a student is never questioned as to the time he has studied, but is passed on an examination of what he knows. The presbytery will surely con- sider the heart of the man. Iam ready to be examined.” K The Uninn-street Church is heartily in favor of having Mr. Brasefield fully or- dained for ite pastor. They say he has built it up financially and spiritually, has laborea faithfully and has accomplished much work. They hcve informed the presbytery that if his ordination is refused the church will be ruined. It is under- stood that Rev. Dr. Coyle and Rev. S. 8. Palmer are heartily in accord with Mr. Brasefield, and so it hns been considered advisable to lay the matter over fora few months, THE WATER WAR Allegation of an Attempt to Influence the Council Regarding Hydrants. OAKLAND, Can, May 21.—The strug- gle between the {wo rival water companies 18 getting very bitter as the matter of al- {ernating the hydrants is to comse before the Council, and each dav some new sen- asation is sprung on one side or the other. It was stated to-day that an attempt was being made to influence the Council to alternate the hydrants, and that Coun- cilman Fibush hed been spoken to by Thomas Moiloy, an ex-Assessor, now of 8an Francisco. Mr. Fibush said to-night that while it was true he had made affidavit in re. ward to the matter, he had not made any charges, nor had he been asked tobe a party to any underhanded scheme. He knew of no attempt at bribery, Retail Clerks Organize, OAKLAND, Car, May 21.—The retail clerks held an important meeting to-night and wiil at once reorganiza their union, that was once very powerful. Four years ago tie Retail Clerks’ Union was the strongest in Oakiand and they ob- tained concessions from the merchants in every direction desired. It gradually broke up, and has not held its regular meetings for some time until they now state they are working longer hours than ever betore. Another meeting will be heid next week when a regular organiza- tion will take place. DISPUTE OVER PROPERTY. A ¥ifty-Vars Lot at North Beach an lssue Which Leads to a Suit.

In 1870 Congress passed an act ceding to the City and County of San Francisco its rightsin and to the reserve land limit. Under this grant Palmer obtained a deed from the City on fot 1343, situated in the disputed block, substantiating this, it is claimed by the Galvins, by ex-parte af- hdavits, without the:r knowledge, which how that at that time (1870) the land was in the actual and bona-fide possession of a man named Herman. Against this the Galvins claim they never lost possession, and as a conse- quence Palmer's deed lost its force and vitality. Yet it is deemed necessary to ask the Supervisors to :nstruct the Uity and County Attorney to bring suit to set aside the deed given to Palmer. This simply means another method of quieting title in the interest of the Galvin claim- ants. SO Do e WHERE IDOL8 ARE MADE. Birmingham. Eng., Has a Factory for Muking Heathen Gods. It has recently been discovered that there is in Birmingham, in the very cen- ter of Christian England, a factory where idots made for heathen nations, says the Pottery Gezette, London. Many at- tempts have been made to oblain admis- sion to the factory, but a strict watch is kept upon outsiders anxious to pry into the secret chambers where the lieathen 2ods are made, and journalists, especially, are preyented from entering the works. A fow facts were, however, to be gleaned concerning tbis extraordinary industry. Idols of all kindsare turned out, rpre- senting the gods of all heathen nations, from Tokyo to Timbuctoo. The export trade to lieathen countries is a compara- tively large one, althouch more gods are sent out to foreign dealers in curios in the bazaars of Cairo,Damascus,Colombo, etc., for sale to unsuspecting travelers anxious to take home some mementoes of their stay abroad. The price of gods varies greatly. You may get a Birmingham-made one in a London curiosity shop for halt a crown or you may run up the pratty bill of . £20 for an especial ugly one, “stolen,’” according to the dealer, “*by a sailor during the Chi- nese war.” In the Cairo bazaar, however, the pric2 of a first-class god of this kind' may run from £20 to anything. ‘A traveler in- formed tne writer that there was little difficulty in detecting a god of native make from one of Birmingham manufac- ture. The first generally displayed some slight irregularity or chanze of design, due to the native working by hand, while the Birmingham god was as superiatively correct in form as the most immaculate danay is in dress. The trade in idols is gkept such a close secret that it is difficult to estimate the output, for in the board of trade returns the gods would doubtless be classed under the humiliating title of *‘worksof art or curios.” But there is no doubt the trade is a fairly large one and that some cute Birmingham men do very well in the busi- ness.
