Bluzer's father is at San Quentin and Warden Hale bas already purchased the rope which will deprive the condemned | man of his life on the 27th of this month. There is no doub: of Hill's guilt, no one denies that he is a murderer, but there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, who | think that the man would be sufficiently punished by being imprisoned for life. A desperate effort is being made to save the man’s life, and the Governor has prom- | ised to hear all that his attorney can say, as well as to give careful attention to the numerous petitions, and upon his judg- ment all is based. But Hill's story is an old one. It is the fate of little Blazer that is more inferest. ing to the pubiic. When the condemned man knows his fate, which cannot be until almost the eve of the date set for execution, he will signily his desire regarding his boy. He will decide whether ne will see his chila or not before he leaves him lorever. The | friends of the little innocent do not think | it would be wise to lead a child to a con- demned cell to meet his parent for the last time. Blazer is just ai that age when an impression gainea would probably last a lifetime. If the petitions be granted and Blazer's fatber be not hanged the child’s condition will hardly be improved. He will grow up to learn the truth, and the curse of hay- ing « father condemned to prison for life is not more easily carried ihan the curse of having the finger of scorn pointed at him becaus> his father diea on the gzal- lows.

Both R. J. B.uss and W. A, Starr Maintain That the Production Is in Reality Theirs. BERKELEY, CAL.,, Aug. 17.—The ques- tion as to the azuthorship of the play entitled “The Black Colt” and otherwise “Nancy Till,” which was first put on by the class of '8 last junior day under the former nameand the authorship of Walter A. Starr, and later under the latter name at the Oakland Theater under the author- ship of Ravmond J. Russ, has again been brougnt up. At the time of the presentation at the theater there was much gossip over the affair, as Russ had apparently taken Starr's play bodily and was using it as his own. Tue situation was an exceedingly peculiar one, especiaily as no satisfsctory exp anation could be mads at’the time. Friends of Russ and Starr each c.aimed the play as the work of one or the other. Russ staied au the time of ita presentation that he in reality wrote the farce. Ac- cordingly he fel! entitled to use it over his own name. S'arr, who was away in the country at the time, had returned, and stated to-day that he wrote the play, and because of his absence it was sent in with a lot of others by Russ. Each lays claim to the play, and neither one teems to wish to give 1n 1o the other. The friends of the young playwrights regard the mat- ter as a soct of family affair, with one having as much of an Interestin it as the other, and neither feeling obliged to keep silence. w High School Building.

TAKEN OFF LIFES EVENING Death of Major Given, Who Left Missouri Fifty- Four Years Ago. A Pioneer of California Before the Gold-Hunters Thought of Coming. After Eighty-Four Years of Activity, His Death Came by an Accident. OAKLAND OFFICE AN FRANCIsCO CALL.) 998 Broadway, Aus. 17. § Major Isaac L. Given, one of California’s oldest and hest known pioneers, has suc- cumbed to his injuries received by being run over a week ago. As he was 80 years of age it was never expected that he would recover and the propbecy of his physicians proved true. Major Given was a prominent member of a party of argonauts who left the Mis- souri River on May 6, 1841. They divided | into two companles and Given went with | the one which toox the southern route by way of Santa Fe. His companions in- | cluded Albert G. Toomes, John Roland, William Knight, Wade Hampton, Dr. Meade, Hiram Taylor and Colonel Mec- Clure. The starting of this brave band acros3 the then unexplored wiids for the Western land created great excitement, and hundreds assembled at St. Joseph's Mission to see tnem off. When Colonel G.ven started out the only well-defined points on this side of the continent were Great Salt Lake and mystical St. Marys, now gnown as the Humboldt River. B)th compsanies arrived in California at about the same time. Describing the journey many years later Mr. Toomes said: “'We had literally, to smell our way every day of that long, hard journey of 176 days. But both companies arrived with unbroken ranks, with toughened sinews and bronzed faces—the vanguari of the mighty army of gold-seekers which .oum\ed on our trail seven or eight years later.” On his arrival here Major Given was 28 vears of age, and for fifty-six years he bas done a cit.z:n’s share i building up this State. The deceased leaves a widow but no chilaren. Mrs. G.ven was the sister of Albert G. Toomes, who came out in the 8t. Joseph'’s expedition. A. W. Bishop, an ex-postmaster of this city and a pioneer, in speaking of his de- parted friend said to-night: “‘Among the noble pioneers of Caii- fornia Major Isaac Given stands n the front rank, and it is one of the inexplica- b e decrees of fate that at this time, after passing through the varied v cissitudes of four-score years, facing thedangers of an overland pilgrimage nearly sixty years | ago, together with the troublous times of '46 and '47 in throwing off the Mexican | yoke and saving California as a future State of the Union, he shou!d at this| time =nl at his age meet with an accidenc that has closed his even:fal hife.” Tte accident was at Twelfth and Broad- way and wasd e to the passing ofa private riage owned by Mr. Kules and an elec- | tric car. Mr. Kales procured the best of medical attendance and nursing, but the major's iron constitution could not stand the shock of a severe accident at the age THE CITY TRUSTEES. Tuberculin Ordinance Discussed — Filled-In Lasds to Be 3elected by the City. ALAMEDA, Car., Aug. 17. — At the meeting of the Board of City Lrustees last evening the tuberculin ordinance recom- mended by the Board of Health came up for passage, but after some discussion it was laid over until the next meeting be- causeof the absence of two of the mem- bers, the others not caring to take the re- sponsibility without a full board being present, J. A. Waymire asked the boarl to take action with reference to the selection of the lots belonging to the city on tne water front and the ftilled-in marshes. It w. decided to_have a special meeting of the board on Friday evening next to take ac- tion in the matter. The board voted to allow porch lights to be put up for 50cents & month, householders to furnish their own wire connections. The other busi- ness transacted was of an unimportant nature. Robbing a Bakery. ALAMEDA, CaL, Aug. 17.—A thief who goes about on a bicycle seeking what he may devour is the latest addition to Alameda’s small list of law-breakers, H, H. Hegewald, a baker at Bay station, has been missing eatables from his store for some time, but was unable to Iocate the thief. This morning a neighbor who hap- pened to rise at an early hour saw a man zome from the back door of the bakery with a lot of bread and cake ireshly baked, mount a bicycle and speced awav. The alarm was given, but the thief was not caught. Broke His Ribs. = ATAMEDA, CaL, Aug. 17.—Charles Evans, a city emplove in the electric light department, fell off a trea on Saturaay and broke two of his ribs. He did not find out that his bones were fractured until the next day, when he had them set, ana went about his work asthough sucn little occurrences were of no moment. Notes. ALAMEDA, Cax.

The town of Jjay claims one of the big- gest trees in Maine. 1t stands on the banks of the Androscoggin, on the lawn of the late Dudley Bean. The circum- ference 4 feet from the ground is 23 fcet, diameter 7 feet. About 6 teet from the ground there are 7 branches radiating from its trunk, which are from 18 inches to 24 inches in diameter. The branches soread over a spac: of ground 290 feet in circumference or 90 feet in diameter. Where the branches ieave the trunk of the tree, about 7 feet from the ground, there has been erected a bandstand which seats 25 persons. A cooler pizce hot days ci not be found. A Boslon gentleman w riding by recently and the tree attracted bis attention. He examined and meas- ured it eand was astonished at its dimen- sions, He went away with the remark that if the tree was on his lawn $10,000 wouldn’t buy it. It was set out 42 years ago by Lafayette Bean on the day of h departure for California, whence he never returned. ——————— Only one person 1in fifteen has perlect eyes, THE NN FRANCISCO AND SAN JOAQUII VALLEK RAILWAY CONPAN JPEOM SUN .2, 1897, tralus wili run as follows: " Southbonnd. i Nortnbound. | Mixed Mixed son- Sunday | Stations | Sunday Exc’pid| 250rx6 0 Pu 11:28 AM 3:4% Pu0 g 5:30 Px .
