OAKLAND, CaLn., Aug. 16.—President Lowell of the Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union, started a discussion at the meeting lo-night that will create a lively time between the Endeavorers and their eritics. ver since the National Convention ad- journeda several sectarian papers have been criticizing the *“waste” of money that such great gatherings entail. It is argued that all the money thus spent could be employed with better use in mission Lowell answered some of these crines to-night, and said that Alameda County would certainly silence them, for it wou.a raise as much for missions dur- ing the next year as it raised this year. This will necessitate collecting $3000. Very little sympathy was shown the critics of the convention, and it was the prevailing opinion tual they knew very little of what they were saying.

According to the arrangements Miss Newlands should have been wedded about August 1, but in a | letter just received by her frends she tells | of the obstacles in the way. Getting married in Scotland appears fo be a very serious piece of business and there is as much red tape to be unwound asthereis in theevent of trying to sepa- rate the bond once wedded. When the bride-elect arrived she was informed that it would be necessary for her to reside fif- teen dayvs in the country before a wedding could besolemnized. In this time the an- nouncement of the betrothal had to be made from the pulpit in the parish church for three saccessive Sundays, various pa- pers Lave to be signed and in addition to the church ceremony there must also be an appearance made and an oath taken before the Registrar. By Tuesdav evening Miss Newlands expects to be Mrs. Neu- stadt both legally and socially. | In her letter she refers to the radical [ differences existing between the easy /method ot being married prevalent in | California and the serious affair it is in Britain, and says that conservative Scotch people regard tugboat marriages and se- cret weddings at an hour’s notice as pure American fiction.

Nearly a Quarter of a Million Has Been Lost by the Original Investors. For Three Years It Has Not Even Paid the Daily Expenses of Cperating. 0ARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCisco Ca 908 Broadway, Aug. 16, The East Oukland rairoad, which pio- neered the way for electric roads in this city, was sold under foreclosure to-day for $60,500. The road carried an inaebted- ness of over §250,000, so shareholders, stockholders and everybody but the hold- ers of receiver's certiticates have lost all they put into it. The purchaser was the Realty Syndicate, which is gradually ab- sorbing all the lines on this side of the bay. The sale wasconducted by Under Sheriff Harlow, and although there were many street railroad men present on the Court- house steps only one bid was raceived. 1t was made by Frank C. Havens, secretary of the syndicate, and is subject to con- firmation by the court. The East Oakland road Las had a re- markable run of bad luck, yet when it weas built seven years ago its prospects were particularly bright. Prior to its opening the only means of communica- tion between Broadway and East Oakland was the old borsecar line that ended at Thirteenth avenue, and the occasional raiiway train. For some time after opening it had a monopoly of the vast East Oukland traffic and was doing well, but the Haywards electric road came through on Thirteenth street, and still later the Alameda electric road came through Elev- enth street, and then the KEighth- street Lne, which was too far south, was doomed. Then the local trains drove travel uptown ty shutting offjfree riding, and for over four years the road has been in the hands of a recsiver. Since that time it* has not paid operating ex- penses, and the deficit had to be raisea by receiver’s certificates. Finelly these certiiicates amountea to as much as the road could carry, and the price paid to-day is just enough to pay | them. As an individual road theline is of little value, but as part ot the syndicate’s vast system it may be made valuable. DISOBEYED THE COURT. Mrs. Marston Was Not Pre«ent, but Will Not Be Punished. OAKLAND, CAL., Aug. 16.—Mrs. Har- riet Marston, or Miss Hattie Goodwin, was to bave been in Judge Hall’s court to-day to answer the complaint of younz Marston regarding the property of H. W. Marston, who died some months ago. As the order was legally served it wasex- pected that the lady would have been present, but she was not. Mrs. Marston, however, had complied witn that part of the order which com- manded her 10 tarn over papers in her possession bearing on the case. In view of this Judge Hali excused the taking of any action and will decide in a few days what course shall be taken. Asstated in THE CALL a week ago, every effort is being made to keep the case out of the courts, as both widows are anxious to settle amicably and avoia the un- pleasant notoriety of a trial.

TREADWELL HAS RESIGNED Corral Hollow Coal Mines Are Under a New Manager. Difference of Opinion Regarding Mining Methods the Reason, F. J. Horswill, Discoverer of the Car- bon Hill Deposits, Is Now in Charge—Mine Expected to Pag. Within the past few days it has come to light that there has been a change of management in one of the larzest coul- mining enterprises on the Pacific Coast, tbat of the San Joaquin and San Francisco Coal Company, whos? extensive deposits near Livermore are generally known as the Corral Hollow mines. Up to three weeks ago John Treadwell, who developed the now famous Treadwell mine in Alaska, and who was one of the two original owners of the Corral Hollow property, was in charge of the mine, but owing to a difference of opinion among those heavily interested in the corpora- tion as to the efficacy of the methods em- ployed it was dec ded to make a change, and Mr. Treadwell resigned. F. J. Horswiii, who has made coal min- ing a life study and who developed a num- ber of the largest mineson the coast, has succeeded Mr. Treadwell and it is ex- pected that an immens? increase in the output of the mine will scon take place. Tne real caus: of the change as ex- plained by one of the principal officers is that the directors or at least & portion of them believed that while Mr. Treadwell was a practical and competent quartz | miner be had not grasped the situation at Corral Hollow :utficiently to place the vast businesson a paying basis and that it | was necessasy 10 have a practical coal- | miner 1n charge in order to make the mine pay interest on §1,872,000, the im- mense sum aiready spent in developing. Manager Horswill went to the mine | three weeks ago and after spending that | veriod of time in investizating, made his | first report yesterday to the directors, the | result justifying the confiaence of those who have invested their fortunesin the enterp: ise. Mr. Horswill, who has been coal mining thirty-two years, was tbe locator of the great Carbon Hill mine near Tacoma and hasalso been connected with the Coos Bay, Mount Diablo and other well-known mines. He made an expert report on the coal deposits of Alaska for prominent capi- talists, who contemplated investing there. Mr. Horswiil nas recommended that the system of mining at Corral Hoilow be en- tirely changed, and that instead of the “long-wall” method the ‘“breast and piliar” system be employed. This does uway with the *‘dead’’ work necessary in running a tunnel along beside the vein, and vastly cheapens the cost of coal per ton to the company. By the ‘‘breast and piilar” system the tunnel is run directly into the cosi and the miners throw out the black diamonds of commerce as they delve into the bowels of the earih. “1 made a report on the mine exactly as I found it,” ssid Mr. Horswill yesterday after the meeting, “and I can say that aiter weeks of careful study I belicve that the day is at hand when San Fiaucisco will be supplied with good coal at reason- able prices, and the idea disproved that California cannot produce a good lignite coal. “The present system of working the coal is what is known as the ‘long wali’ system. It might be all right in some | mines, but ai Corral Hollow the ‘breast and pillar plan is the only one thatwill work satisfactorily. 1t gives cheaper and cleaner coal. The direciors have adopied my suggestion that the method be used, and the 110 men now at the mine will be- gin going down into solid coal at once. ] hauve made a study of the situation at the Summii vein, which is seven feet in width, and tind it to be composed of as clean and hard coal as there is on the coast. A force of men 1s already at work opening the tuunel £0 as to admit of the use of an eleciric locomotive in bringing the coal out. The Bureka vein, eleven feet wide, is aiso beiny worked. s “Within three months irom now I ex- pect to be extracting 500 tons per day, and within six months to be taking out 1000 to 1200 tons per day. I “The coal is a superior grade of lignite and will compare favorably with Beaver Hill, Seattle, Coos Bay or any of the coast coals. “Estimates haye been made that there are 20,000,000 tons of coal in sight, and I do not 1think that this is an exaggeraiion. The coal runs in what we call ‘pitch’ veins that are so ~ituated that the product can be economically minea. When we get far enough along to 1ake out 500 tons a day it will not cost more than sixty cents a ton loaded 1nto the bunkers. In the land owned by the company, a tract six and a half mileslong by one and a quarter miles wide, there are seven veins- ranging from sixteen inches to eleven feet, and they have been traced by tunnels for five miles.” S The company was incorporated on Feb- ruary 27, 1895, with a capital atock of $5,000,000. Belore its incorporation over $800,000 had been expended on the prop- erty by James Treadwell and John Tread- well, the original owners. The company also owns all the stock of the Alameda and San Joaquin Raiiroad Company, which was incorporated for the purpose of constructing a railroad from the mines at Corral Hollow to Stocktor, a distance of thirty-six miles. This railroad is now running, equipped with locomotives and rolling stock, and owns valuable water- iront property in Stockton, costing more than $100,000. In all about $800,0C0 has been expended in the construciion ana equipment of the railroad and in the ucfiumhion of property. . J. Small, an expert employed by the Southern Pacitic Company 1o test the coal with a view of using it in the locomotives of the company, reported in April, 1893, that “‘The result of the test shows conciu- sively that the Treadwell coal is entirely satisfactory for locomotive use.” H. L. Stevenson, H. Stillman and other employes of the railroad made reports of tests that showed that the coal was better for locomotive use than the ccal brought from Carbon Hill for the use of the com- pany. In a run of 810 miles less water and also less coal were used, and the steam pressure was greater in the engine burning Corral Hollow coal than in that burning Carbon Hill coal, ana under similar conditions he tests were eminently favorable to the ‘product of the Livermore mine. Tchool Changes. OQAKLAND, CavL., Aug. 16.—The Board of Education at its meeting this evening took steps that will tend to relieve in a measure the present very much over- crowde d condition of the city schoois. The following were appointed as teacher: Mre. Bertha Cromwell. Miss J. M. Ande son, Miss Gertrude Benjamins, Mrs, R. D. Whitehead and Miss Mary E. Moore.

Attorneys Wheeler and Ruef Accuse Each Other of Be- ing Insulting. The Court Had to Interfere and Cau- tion the Warring Lawyers to Behave Themselves. The seventeenth week of the protracted Far-Craven trial was inangurated in Judge Siack’s court yesterday with Mrs. Catherine Williams again on the stand for od litional cross-examination. Tue day was not altogether withoutits interesting features, particularly when now and then the opposing counsel would clinch on some disputed point and wind up by accusing each other of ingulg- ing in insulting language. But aside from these little incidents there was not much going on of a character calculated to keep those who perforce were in attendance awake. ‘The cross-examination of Mrs, Williams was centered upon her movements on Septemoer 27, 1894, the day she saysshe saw Senator Fair in Cooney’s cffice. About the only thing new developed by her ex- amination was the fact that she had been in the habit of attending the races about the time she saw Fair. She was not sure, however, whether she was at the track on that eventful 27¢h. Edward D. Wilbur succeeded Mrs. Williams on the stand. He said he saw the miilionaire come out of the Lick House on September 27 and go into Cooney’s office. He fixed the date by means of a letter he had received from his partner and by scme other business transections. The cross-examination of this witness failed to materially disturb his main story. Mrs. Carrie Marsh, a dressmaker, was the next witness who saw Fair with Cooney on that date. She had some busi- ness to transact with the notary, she said, but was compelled to wait several minutes because he was busy with Senator Fair. The lady’s method of fixing the time was the fact that she had just paid a dentist’s bill for work done upon her daughter's teeth. On cross-examination, Mr. Wheeler wanted to know if she had not been dis- cusing her evidence with Attornev Ruef during the noon recess, and she replied that while she had talked with him there was not mnuch said about her testimony. “Mr. Ruef asked me if I could not be more positive regarding certain dates I had testified to, but I said I could notdo 50, she said. Mr. Wheeler asked Mrs. Marsh to tell him all sbout the various places she had lived during her lifetime and the several vocations she had followed. The witness could recall some of her movements and also forgot a great deal. Her memory was not reliable concerning events during the ten years preceding 1894 “Do you know Mrs. Craven?’ asked Wheeler. I met her for the first time this morn- ing here in court,” was the reply. “To whom did you firss tell your story of the events of September, 1894."" “Judge Cooney, the father of Notary Cooney." The witness said she went to the Judge immediately after young Cooney was ar- rested for perjury. She considered herself a friend of the Cooney family, and thought it her-duty to tell the Judge what she knew. She said she was acquainted with Mrs. Cooney and had sewea ior that lady. Mrs., Mursh was not sure whether or not she was stopping at the Cooney house when the young notary was arrssted. Under redirect examination the witness said that when she first spoke tc Judga Cooney about having seen Senator Fair in Notary Cooney’s office, she simply told him she saw the Senator some time in September, 1894, She could not be posi- tive about the date. It was not until a few days ago when Attorney Ruef asked her if she had any papers which might assist her in refreshing ner memory. She went home and found the dentist’s receipt already referred to. James Francis Lane, a conductor on the Bryant-street electric iine. was now called to the witness-stand. During the year 1894 he was employed by the local agency of the Pennsylvania lines, which had an office at 11 Montgomery street. Cooney’s office was at the same numbor. “Did you ever know Senator Fair in his lifetime?'’ ask Judge Dznson. “I did,"” replied Lane. “Did you see Senator Fair in the store at 11 Montgomery street in the month of September, 1894?" The plaint:ff's counsel objected and the court ruled that Judge Denson, who was conducting the questioning, would have to get closer to the date of September 27, 1894, before he could hope for an answer to his question. The question was accordingly reframed, and Lane saia thatas near as he could remember he saw Fair in the latter part of September. The cross-examination cf Lane was very brief. He was simply asked by Mr. Mitchell to state how close he could come to fixing the time he saw Fair. He said he knew it was shortly before the Sena- tor's death, and also that that was the only time heever saw Fair at 11 Montgom- erg street. ohn C. Spencer of the Wonder milli- nery-store was cailed to corroborate the witness Wilbur, but under objection he was not aliowed to testify. Charles 8. M. Bartleit, an ihsurance man, was then called. He said he saw Senator Fair talking to J. J. Cooney at 11 Montgomery street on September 27, 1894, “How do you fix the date?” asked Mr. Ruef. “Why, that ivas the last day I had to answer in a lawsuit, and I went into 11 Montgomery street to see O'Farrell & Co., to ascertain if I could not get an exten- sion of time.”” BartletL was subjected to rather asevere cross-examination by Mr. Mitcnell. The latter was anxious to show that Bartlett had been a sort of private delective and professional witness, *“Have you not been engaged in procur- ing testimony for divorce cases?’ asked Mitchell. “Ouly once, sir,” said Bartlett, ‘‘and that was when a! yours.” Bartlett explained that he did not say anyihing about baving seen Fair until May of this year, because he did not want to antagonize Attorney Mitchell, and, be- sides, did not wish to drawn into the case. ‘While the cross-examination was gcing on Attorney Wheeler and Ruef had a row. The latter obj cted to the style of gjues- tioning Bartlett was being subjected to, and Whe:ier said something about Ruef having *'bolstered up” the witness. Ruef considered this an insult and ap- ealed to the court for protection. Judge ack ruled that Wheeler's remark was improper and rebuked the attorney. sted a client of {a greatdeal of my time, and WANTS BOONE 70 LEAVE THE BAR Inventor Bowers Accuses the Attorney of Blackmail, Also of Betraying the Legal Secrets of His Late Employer. Charges Denounced in Open Court by the Defendant as False and Malicious. Alphornzo B. Bower:, inventor of the Bowers hydraulic dredger. caused a sensa- tion in the United States Circuit Court yesterday by filing a petition asking that the name of John L. Booi.e be stricken from tne roli of aitorneys of the court for unprofessional conduct. The petition recites that for nearly nine years Boone was his attorney, counselor and sclicitor, and that as such he pos- sessed the special and peculiar confi- dence of Bowers, and thereby obtained full and complete knowledge of and from Bowers of all the facts and evidence in his cases; that Bowers paid Boone $4000, be- ing full payment for his services, and that in April of the present year Boone with- drew, by mutual consent, from theem- vloyment of Bowers. The complaint then goes on tosay: That thereaiter the said Boone, with the full intent and purpose to betray the comficence of your petilioner and to violate his trust and duty as ihe attorney, counselor and solicitor of your petitioner. did offer and seek to be em- pioyed and retained by the defendant in tne action of A, B. Bowers vs. Linden W. Bates and the other cases hereinnefore mentioned now pending in the Circuit Cour: of the United States, in and for the Northern District vf Illinois, and in consideration of such em- ployment and retainer aid assert end suggest 1o Thomas A. Banniug of Chicago, at Chicago, the atiorney, solicitor and counseior of Lin- den W. Bates, the defendant in sala cause, that the decree in the cause of A. B. Bowers against A. W. von Schmidt, herein above men- tioned, was procured by fraudulent means and that he (said Boone) could notremain in the cnse under tne circumstances, thereby meaning and iutending to convey to said Banning that he (said Boone) knew that the said decree was procured by false and per- jured evidence and testimony and should not have been rendered or made; that your peti- tioner is ignorant of the particular or specific evidence to which said Boone intended to re- fer and is unable to_say moro then that the said charge is wholly and eutirely false and untiue; that all the evidence and testimony in said cause are and were true and genuine and no other than just, lawful and honest means were employed or resorted to by your petitioner in said cause. That said offer end statement by said Boone were made with the full intent and purpose to obtain employment by and from said Linden W. Bates, and the other cases under the pre- tense that he could and would betray the con- fidence of your petitioner and disregard his professional obligations and thereby assiss tne said Bates and others to defeat your peti- tioner’s actious ageinst him and them, and 1o thwart, emburrassand retard your petitioner’s suits and actions now pending. That the said offer and siatement were made and intended to defraud the said Batesand others out of any money they might pay to said Boone as the price of his treachery or his testimony or his legal services under the false pretense that he (said Boone) could or would bring forward any proof of his statement or suggestion made to said Banning. The complaint alleges further that the said suggestion by Boone was a lack of respect 10 the court, and that Boone was guilty of a breach of duty for having con- cealed for months and months evidence that, according to his own statement, was false and fraudalent. The further allegation is made thaton May 11 of this year, at his office, 314 Pine street, in this City, Boone said to Samuel H. Buleno, agent and attorney in fact for Bowers, that unless Bowers wounld carry out some promises alieged to have teen made by Bowers to Boone some five years back in regard to the payment of money, he (Boone) wou!d accept the retainer that ‘was waiting him from Bates, and that the acceptance would be very disagreeable to Bowers; that Boone said that statements bad been made to him in years gone by that would be proof pesitive of perjury, and which if made public by the other side would result in the complete loss of Bowers’' patents, and might involve his liberty, all of which 1s alleged in the peii- tion to have been faid by Boone with a malicious intent and purpose to intimi- date Bowers and extort money from him without any just claim or demand. Boone was present in court when the petition was read.
