In the girl’s hand was 1920 U \smoking revolver, which told n.words who fired the shots. Nv one of the crowds who stood around §atw the shooting. There was no prelim- scene and no angry words were {he reports of the pistol were the plainer heird, was at the station await- the train, and when La Due alighted called him to her, and they stepped | ovér 1o-the pharmacy window, chatting “pleasantly meanwhile. Several friends of Iia Due who saw them remarked that they were talking quistly, when suddenly she | drew 4 revolver and fired ashot into his breast, and ‘then without hesitation, she turned the weapon upon herself. Both fell, apparently dead. The body of the girl was taken {o the Park Hotel, and that of La Due was taken to. his home, 2423 Webb avenue. The wounds of b were pronounced fatal, | and no one was allowed to speak to either e victims. Dr. Lubbock, who attended La Due, says the bullet entered just to the left of the breastbone between the second and third ribsand ranged slightly npward, striking the.collarbone. He probed for it, but was unable to loeate it. If it entered the lung cavity there is danger of internal hemor- rhage. Miss Fallmar was taken to the receiving | hospital in Oakland at 9 o'clock. Her | ound is almost identical with that of La | Due. The hullet could not be located by probing. Both were resting easily at a late hour to-night and there is a probability that | both may recover. La Due he only child of Mrs, Emma Due, a widow, who with Mrs. Bertha . Elis keeps a restaurant in the Central Block. He has the name of being a very industrious and sober young man, but his mother has of late been objecting to the company he was keeping. At one time he was & member of Company G, Fifth | Regiment, N. G. C., but he was discharg.d some time azo, Clara Fallmar, who did the shooting, has been in trouble before, and various members of her family, too, have at times figured in Alameda police records. La Due had been keeping company with the girl for some time, but, it is under- stood, he tired of her and bad announced his ir ion of dropping her acquaint- ance. She told him she would shoot him it he did, but he laughed at her threats, FOUND A HOME.

Wheels of the Institution Will Begin to Turn Next Monday. Schedule of Entrances—'Exes.” and Important Data for 0ld and New Students. BERKELEY, CaL., Aug. 2.—The Uni- versity of California will open for the fall term next Monday, one week from to-day. It is anticipated that a class of at least 500 will enter this year, with the prospect of 50 or 100 more. Four hundred and eighty- one entered last year, which was 50 more than the year previous, Ten more accredited schools are on the list this year. The recent controversy over the “fit” in English will probably meake no material difference in the num- ber of entrants. There will of course be more on condition than if the thirty-nine schools had not been blacklisted. Various changes, both as to instructors and buildings, have taken place since col- lege closed in May. None of the new buildings will be ready for use, however, at the opening of the term, save the addi- tion to the gymnasinm, A new course extending over three years, after the completion of whicl stu- will be admitted to the medical col- lege with one year’s credit, has beenin- troduced. Uvpon the completion of the medical course, the student may, upon the joint recommendation of the medical facuity and the faculty of the college of natural sciences, receive the degree of B.S. together with that of M. D. The joint committee for the academic council on the new course cons sts of Dr. Joseph Le Conte, Professor Edmund O'Neill, Professor A. F. Lange and Profes- sor W. E. Ritter, while that for the medi- cul faculiv comsists of Dr, A. A. d’Ancona, Dr. J. S. Spencer and Dr. J. M. William- son. A new teachers’ course in physical cul- ture is also to be introduced. It is in- tended primarily for those who intend following the work of instrueting in the culture of the human body., It will be given under the diraction of Professor W. E. Magea. It inciudes a study of anat- omy, physiology, bygiene, dietetics, food analysis, pedagogy, piychology, bistology and theory of phy:ical culture. The force of professors and instruetors will be materially increased, nineteen new members h aving bean added to the fac- ultv. They come from various sections of the United States and from Europe, some having been previously connected with the institution and who have been abroid tak.ng aavanced work. Among these lut- ter are Leon J. Richardson, Clarence W. Leach and C. M. Bakewell. Others are graduates of the university who have pre- pared themselves for pedagogues, while still others come from otber institutions entirely foreign to Berkeley. Theentire list of nineteen will be dis- tributed through the various departments as follows: G. F. Winterburn, assistant in drawing; H. C. Nutting, instructor in Greek and Sanskrit; Clarence W. Leach, nstructor in history; Leon Richard- son, instructor in Latin; L. E. Dickson, instruc’or in mathematics; M. Putnam, Newel Perry and F. E. Ross, fellows in mathematics; 8. A. Moss, assistant in mechanics; D. Louderback, fellow in mineralogy; T. B. Dresslar, assistant pro- fessor of pedagogy; J. L. Heaton, fellow 1n pedagog C. M. Bakewell, instructor in philosophy; W. P.

Margoiis, assistant professor in Semitic languages and litera- ture. Miss Fannle 8. Bonte, daughter of the late Dr. J. H. C. Bonte, has been appointed assistant Iibrarian. A large number of the professors have been out of the State during the vacation new drawing to a close, one having gone as far as Russia and another across the Pacific.

Aicazar Theater. Two delightful plays at tne Alcazar con- vened at that house last evening a good audi- ence to inaugurate the forly-ninth week of the Alcazar Stock Company. The first play last nigbt was Gien MacDonough's comedy sketeh entitied “House and Home.” Iu the cast were Irancis Carlyle, Miss Selene Johus son, Charles Bryant and Frank C. Thompson. Some clever situations grow out of the strand- ing of au architect and his wife at a hotel in Colorado Springs. A happy release is effected by & former chum from the East, who arrives i the hotel on his wedding trip. The piay offorded scope for Mr. Carlyle and Miss John- gon to mspfiy their talents,and the oppor- tunity was embraced in the general cmbraces of the sketch. The secoud piece of the evening was the farcical comedy ‘‘Betsy,” which introducea twelve members of the company, and several spoke and acted to good advantage. The aitractions presented last evening will be continued throughout the week, Next week Powers’ Greco-Turkish p.ay entitled “Turk Meets Greek” will be puton the stage, with special cast and scenery. Ths Obaron. There was an sttractive musical programme at the Oberon last night, aud encores for en- semble work and recalls for soloists were numerous.

It is difficult to convey in cold typea true idea of the simple charm and fra- grance of “Rosemary,” Parker and Car- son’s Victorian play, which John Drew and his company produced for the first time in this City at the Baldwin Theater last night. The theme of ‘‘Rosemary” is an old- fashioned love s'ory with a runaway mar- riage, a broken postchaise and other eon- comilants of the Gretna Green description that garnish the pages of so many of the romances written in the days when Queen Victoria was a girl in her teens. With one exception the simple story of “Rose- mary” has no strikingly novel or dra- matic situations, but, after all, the object of a play is probably to give the actorsa chance of acting, and, judged by thix standard, no one can accuse “Rosemary’’ of not being aramatic. There were sea- soned first-nighters in the audience last night who were heard to declare that they never knew before how strong John Drew could be in his acting. Some of them covertly wiped away a tributary tear dur- ing part of the last two acts, The mere story of ‘‘Rosemary” is al- most too simple to sound worth repeti- tion—it is merely the story cf a middle- aged bachelor who suddenly awakes to a realization o! the sunshine that a young girl can bring into a commonplace home. The particular young girl who brings the real zation is running away to marry another man, and the bachelor, being a man of honor, resigns her without a sigh. John Drew played Sir Jasper Thorn- dyke, the bachelor. He had sacrificed his mustache: to the early Victorian atmos- phere of the piece, but he met with his re- ward in the shape of applause and covert tears. Drew Las been accustomed to arouse applause, but tears are something that he has not been wont to compel in the round of his drawing-room pieces. All through the play it was hard to rec- ognize John Drew, he had grown so much more manly, and in the third act his re- hunciation of all attempts to win Dorothy was a strong and touching piece of acting. The last aci, however, ig the touch of originality in “Rosemary.”’ Bir Jasper, who has put love behind him on the day of Victoria’s coronation, sits alone, &n old man of 90, on the day of the Queen’s goiden jubilee, and recalis his souvenirs of the past as the procession passes outside. They are all gone, his love and his friends of fifty years ago, and he alone remains to tell the tale. The iaea was a very daring one on the part of the authors, for an inartistic touch on the part of the chief actor wounid have made the scene ridiculous. John Drew’s hand- ling of it, however, was artistic in the ex- treme; it is scarcely an exaggeration to say that he heid the audience spellbound. Miss Isabel Irving, who played the role of Dorothy, was not hampered, as far as this C 1s concerned, by comparison with her charming predecessor in the role, Maud Adams. To say that one can imagine Mand Adams playing the role with more exquisite lightness and grace is not to detract from l:abel Irving’s imper- sonation, for she was a very winscme and giriish Dorothy. The rest of the cast wasin pood hands. Miss Annie Adams was pleasing to the eye &s well as very clever histrionically in the role of Dorothv’s mother, Daniel Har- kins gave a clever character stndy of a crusty professor and Harrv Harwood created plenty of merriment by his im- personation of an old sea dog. There was a large and fashionable audi- snce. 9 Grand Opera-House. If such a thing is probable that Sims and Pettit, Harvey and the rest of the great Eng- lish constructors of plays have issued a book of recipes in which proper directions are glven for mixing melodramas it is a safe con- ciusion to reach that Ada Bascom, a clever San Franciseo girl, was the first 10 try them, and the result of the mixiure was *The Bowery Girl,” presented lor the first time in 8an Francisco at the Grand Opera-house last evening. Actors can neither make normar the Western authoress’ play. Its success or non-success depends entirely upon, first, the capabilities of the stage-carpenter, and sec- ondly of the scenic artists. Characters incidentally strut through the play and break all the iaws of nature and art, exceptling, of course, the melodrama’s stand- Ly—a promise. Now and then one of them is killed, blinded by an explosion or rescued from a watery grave, but ali this i secondary ininterest compared to the “great explosion scene,” “ths great dive for life,” ‘‘the great fire scene” and *“the palisades on the Hud- son.” Miss Bascom is the first woman to dis- cover and practice the delights of melodrama construction—standing by & wenkly, puny- brained child and bossing a great burly man to chavge scenes, letting him do the work while she listens to the nice things said of the sickly offspring. The Grand has mounted the “Bowery Gir(” megnificently. A liberal management has fi.led in the time between accidents and mur- ders with pleasant speciaities. Maud Edua Hall, Julia Blanc, Leslie Morosco, George E. Beben and elever littie Hazel Callahan allhelp 10 lighten the burden of despair with caicny song and graceful dance. The Columbla. - The Lyceum's success, Arthur Jones’ ‘Re- bellious Susan,’’ was put on by the Frawlegs last evening, and scored an immediate suc- cess. In Susan Miss Bates has found a part to which all her little mannerisms are admirably suited. Sne pouts and flings her chin in the air, just as Miss Bates has made numberless other characters do, with the difference that they fit Susan perfectly, and the result is the rebellions wife is one of the best characteriza- tions she has given us. ‘Worthing takes care of Bir Richard Rato in an eminently satisfactory manner, and Eleanor Moretti is an_cxcellent Mrs. Quesnel. Gladys Wallts and Harry Carson Clark gave us their version of the *new woman” and the “artistic temperament” in 8 Most AMusing way, “Kebellious Susan” ho.ds the boards for the wee Tivoll Opera-House. “Wang” was revived for a week’s run at the Tivoll last night, and ran with the perfect smoothness and finish that comes of long practice. The cast was the same as on its suc- cessinl presentation several weeks ago, and Edwin Stevens and his collaboraiors ail re- celved much applause and many encores. At the Orpheum. The programme at the Orpheum is a very attractive ope this week and drew a crowded house last night. New turns and old favorites filled an excellent bill. The performing nats and dogs of Professor Leonidas gave an exhi- bition of what it is ible to teach anim: The eccentric music the three Rackett brothers, were extremely clever in the exhi. bition they gave of their atiainme:ts ns sing. ers and performers on different instruments. Elvira Frencelli and Tom Lewis gave some operatic selections with a good deal of spirit and artistic finish, although the action was pather mechanical. e ——— e eee———— A CHANGE AT LAST PRONISED The Plaintiff’s Side of the Fair - Craven Trial About to Rest. Richard V, Dey, the “Arbiter,” Has a Short Siege in the Witness-Chair, The Point of His Story Was That Mrz. Oraven Did Not Tell Him That Tair Had Given Her Deeds. Joyous smiles illuminated the counte- nances of Judge Slack and the jurors do- ing service in the Fair-Craven trial when just before adjournment lust evening one of the counsei for the Fair heirs (Mr. Mitchell) announced that in all proba- bitity their side of the protracted proceed- ings would be brought to a close some time during this forenoon. Mr. Delmas, the leading counsel for tie defense, was unavoidably absent during a portion of the morning session of yester- ; day, but his place was ably filled by Judge | Curtis, the distingnished and courteous | New York attorney who is assisting Mrs. Uraven to recover what belongs to her. It was intended that Reuben H. Lloyd should resume the siand and complete his evidence, but this was wrecluded by the iliness of the gentleman and bis conse- quent inability to appear in cour!. The laintiffs thereupon called Richard V. ey to the witness chair. This Mr. Dey is the individual who, when negotiations were on foot between the attorneys jfor the Fair heirs and Mrs, Craven, looking toward a compromise, was selccted as arbitrator. His questioner, Mr. Mitchell, started off by asking the witness to relate certain conversations he had had with Stephen Roberts, Mrs. Craven and others in relation to the proposed compromise, but Juage Curtis interposea a series of clever objections which successlully blocked the way. Mitchell essayed to get around the difficulty by twisting the question into various different forms, but it was all to no purpose. The gentleman from New York was too much for him. When Dey finally did get a start he was permitted to tell something about the talks be had had with Mr. Roberts, The fatter nad told him the story sbout Sera- tor Fair having made a will bearing a | later date than the one which had been filed for probate by the executors, and had to!d him that Mrs. Craven had the docu- ment. Mr. Roberts said that Attorney Lloya nad a cooy of this document. Doy related in detail what he had been told of the familiar story in reference to Mrs. Craven’s trip to the East to get the pencil will and of her statements asto how it was executed in her home by the Senator. The witness said that Mr. Rob- erts demanded $1,000,000 as a compromise for Mrs. Craven’s ciaims. . Bir. Dey was asked in the afternoon if the deeds to the Mission-street property or the Bansome-street bloek were ever shown to him by Stephen Roberts during Mrs, Craven's absence in the East. An objection to the question was sustained, however, and D-y did not answer. “When did you first meet Mrs. Nettie R. Craven?’ was Mr. Mitchell's next question. 5 = “I think,” said Dey, ‘‘that it was in May, 1895. That was the only time I ever saw her except here in court. In fact, it was nothing more than an introduction.’’ “During tuat interview did you tell Mrs. Craveh that you would give her $500,- 000 for her claims?” “I did not.”” #Did you offer her any other amount or any amount at all?” “No. We were only just introduced. There was really no conversation about 481 Mitchell tried once more to bring out some evidence as to whether or not the witness had ever seen the disputed deeds, put he was ruled against. e then sur- rendered D:y to Mr. Delmas for cross-ex- amination. Were you in New York during 1895?" asked the atiorney. s “Yes; I wasthere three or four times during that year. I think I went there the first time in January. I came back and then went there again in March —also once more later in the year.” “Did yon communicate by letter with Mrs. Craven while you were in New York that year?” ¥ This was objected to by Mitchell and was ruled out. - The point that Mr. Delmas wanted was brought out, however, when he handed the witness a letter and Dey ) acknowledged 1t to be in his handwriting, Dey was then permitted to leave the stand. ; Attorney Russell J. Wilson was now calied. In answer to Mr. Wheeler he said he did not see the so-calied ‘‘republica- tion” letter written by Senator Fair until the middle of 1896, +Did Mrs. Craven_ever tell you she had deeds from Senator Fair?”’ asked Wheeler. “She did.” “When was that?’ “1 think it was on the 18th of March, 1896.”" “Did she ever mention that she had deeds prior to that time?” “No, she did not.” Wheeler now wanted to know if Wilson ever told Mrs, Craven that the contract binding the $500,000 compromise with the lady had a fatal loophole in 1t, and that notwithstanding tbat fact the witness would see that those heirs whom he repre- sented would live up to the terms of the agreement, His answer was that he told her he would ‘‘urge” his clients not to take advantage of the defect, “Did you ever tell her that you counld assure her at least $300.000 of the proposca compromise amount?"’ ¢ “Well, I told her she would be paid | whatever Mr. Dey awarded her; that was to be after the pencil will had been pro- bated.” “Were you ever informad by Mrs. Craven or any of her agents prior to March 18, 1896, that she had or claimed to have deeds from Senator Fair?" +] was not.”’ This closed the direct examination and Mr. Delmas took hold of the witness. He made sure first that he had the correct dates of Mr. Wilson’s several conversa- tions with Mrs. Craven, and he then a-ked if it were nota fact that on the Sunday tollowing the 19th of March, 1896, he offered Mrs, Craven $300,000 in behaif of tue Fair heirs and their attorneys in full settlement of all her claims. ¥ Mr. Wheeler objected and was backed up by Mr. McEnerney. The court ruled with them. Mr. Delmas reframed the question several times, in the hope of cor- nering Wilson for an answer, but in each instance the court ruled that the evidence was not admissible. “You represented the daughters of Sen- ator Fair in the transactions you have testified to, did you not?” asked Mr. Del- mas. “J did, together with Garber, Boalt & Bishop and Lloyd & Wood. “Dic yon have a written contract with these heirs?” 5 Mr. Wilson said he had no written con- tract with t e Leirs themselves. His was 1t first a verbal understanding with them. Later, however, he entered into a written contract with Lloyd & Wood by which by The fac-simile signature of is on every wrapper | curpri of CASTORIA. was to be compensated for his services to s, D:lmas’ request the witness.was instrucied to produce the contractin court some time to-day. Mr. Wilson was shown the memoran- dum written by Senator Fair in relerence to his will, and he was asked if be had not furnished that paper to Mr. Wheelerasa samvple of the Senator's handwriting to prove the genuineness of the pencil will. Objections shut off the answer, bow- ever, and Wilson escaped some embarrass- ment. An adjournment was here taken until this morning. STILL NO CLEW, Giant Powder Was Surely In- tended to Wreck the Local Train, OAKLAND, Carn, Aug. 2.—No clew has been found to the person who put the giant powder on the Seventh-street track | Baturday night and the police have little | hope of finding the miscrednt. They are | convinced that it was put on the rail for | the purpose of wrecking the train-just as it was abont to goon the trestle. Had the powder exploded and derailed the loco- motive there is no doubt that several cars would have been plunged into the mud before they could be checked and the loss of life would undoubtedly have veen large. There is no doubt that the dastardly job was cunningly planned. ROETH'S DEMAND. The Supervisor Wunts a Certain FPlace | Vacated. | OAKLAND, Car., Aug. 2.—Supervisor Roeth surprised the board this morninz by want to declare the position to which Will Hawke:t was elected last week In retusn Mr. Roeth received a beeause his friend Weltls of Dub- lin, instea of falling in line, read bis fiiend Roeth a lecture about playing to The asvery unkind of Mr. Wells to make his littie speech just ata time when Mr. Rocth hud prepared to make “a grand- stand play,”’ as he termed it, because Roeth had evidently presumed on’ his friend’s backing. e e ASK TO RETAIN LLOYD. A Now Phase of the Political Fight at the City Hall, i OARLAND OFFicE Ban FraNcisco CALL‘} 008 Broadway, Aug. 2 The fight to oust the heads of the Po-| lice, Fire and Strest departments from office assumed a new and highly interest- ing phase to-day. Petitions were filed with the Board of Works asking that Chief Lloyd ana Street Superintendent Miller be retained in office. The petition is signed by many prominent people, and some curiosity is expressed to know who it is that “works in darkness and plots in secret.” The petition in regard to Chief Lloyd is as follows: Gentlemen: It has come to our knowledge | through the press and from other sources that | a determined effort is being made to remove irom office our most worthy und efficient Chief | of Poiice. Such a step, in our_ judgment, won!d be a calamity to our city and & blow at | the peace and good order of the community. | Aguinst these men who work fn Garkness and | plot in secret your petitioners pray that you | will stand firm and refuse to remove from the head of the Police Department au officer who { ias_proven his worth by the enemies he has | macde, S curity to life aud property is one of | the guarantees of our form of National, State | and municipal goyernment, and this security | Ozkland has enjoyed in a pecullar degree under the administration ot our present effi- clent Chief of Police. We beg o, therefore, 10 reiain in the position he fills 50 ably the | incumbent, Charies Lloyd. The petition concerning Mr, Miller is very similar, but conciudes: Oukland is now entering upon a career of | great prosperity in our opinion, and it is of the greatest importance that our muuicipal affairs should be faithfully sdministered, and toat officials of the high character of Mr. Miller should be rewarded for efficient service | by being retained in ofice, We deem it a fortunate circumstance that Oakiand can com.. mand the services of 50 experienced a civil engineer as Mr. Miller at the head of her strectdepartment. The most prominent feature of the af- fair is the absence of any effort to-retain | Chiei Fair in the Fire Department, and it Jooks as though all agree with Mayor| Thomas that a change 1s necessary. The cry has always been for the scalps of Lioyd and Fair and it is now evident ihat opin- ion has undergone a change. | —————— Too Much Laudanum.
