LAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,] 608 Broadway, Aug. 21 | the late Hiram Tubbs was | -day at the instance of | the widow, Mrs. Susan Tubbs. The widow is the sole executrix, and as 2 considerable portion of his property was deeded away before he died 1¢ his sons tha amount disposed of by will is not so large as was expected. The document was writ- ten in Ocicber, 1893, ana was in the hand- writing of S8upreme Justice Fred W. Hen- snaw, who, with A. Fine of East Oakland, is the witness. The will states that| decedent gives everything to his wife at- | solutely. It states *'I intentionally onit to | make any provision for my children or | grandchildren. My reasons for this are | thet advances heve already been made to | eome of them, and 1 deem it best for the interest of all named that the auestion of | further provision for them should be | wholly left to the discretion of my wile, | in whoss judgment I have the utmost | conflience. The widow is not required to give any | bonds and can sell without notice any of | the property, real or personal. The peti- tion states that the versonal property consists of sbout $X0 in banks, some | siock in land compenies, an interest in | the schooner Mary Francis and a claim | against the Hollis estate valned at $2500. | The resl estate consists of 610 acres in | 0 represented by a contract | -two years ago by the Cen- tral racihc Company calling for $3200 and wpon which $800 has been paid. There is also some properiy at Front and Jackson Francisco, and about 2000 a County valued at $30,000.

ALAMEDA, CAL., Auz. 2L —Itisseveral months since Linderman’s Opera-house was destroyed by fire. Thatis to say, it | was practically destroyed, but the lower story anda the debris from the upper one | bave remained in just about the same condition as the fire left them. It was supposed that the ruins wouid be cleaned away and a new building eracted, and in fact an agreement was perially made with the Cyclers’ Club 10 put up a build- ing for them on the opera-house corner. But this proposition fell through, and the ruing bave remained an eyesore until residents in the neighborhood complained that they were a nuisance. The matter came up before the Board of Trustees last evening, and after a little discuseion a resolution was passed declar- ing the premises a nuisance and nstruct- ing the Chiat of Police 10 have the debris removed. He will notiy Mr. L nderman, who isin the mines, and if ne does not take steps a1 once the autnorities will pro- ceed to remove the ruins at his expense. ¥l Nido Members Disgusted.

Electric Cars in Collislon on Santa Clara Avenue—Several Peorsons Severely Injured. ALAMEDA, Car., Auz. 21.—A singular and apparently unpreventable accident occured on the electric-car line cn Santa Clara avenue about noon to-day, by which two persons were injured more or less se- | verely. Car 14 was going east on the avenue, hav- ing atiached to it by a Jong chain 2 handcar vsed in making repai's, When nearing Witlow s:reet it met car 19 going in the opposite directi Just as the cars were passing each o'h the handcar was de- ratlel by the breaking of an axle aud thrown across the opposite track in front of the other car. There was no time for the motorman of No. 19 1o make an at- tempt to stop his car, which smashed into the Landear and was badly wrecked. Turee pas-engers were silting on the side of the car toward the handear, and were injured, while the third, Rogers, jumped und escaped . Ann Muldowney of 421 Cen- was scralcned and uruised venue v, but not_serfously. A. M.

The other passengers in the car were pretty well shakeu up, bat were not injured SOPHOMORES AGGRESSIVE They Tried to Interfere With the Freshman Recep- tion, A Berkeley Ioecream Man Has a Nar- row Escape From the Second- Year Collegians, BERKELEY, Can, Ang. 21 — The sophomores of the university tried to in- tercept the icecream sent to Stiles Hail | for the freshmau reception last night. The action was a new one in Berkeley in- terclass rivalry, and shows that the '00 men are animated by unusual spirit. The wagon containing the icecream was owned by W. C. Mason, who has had ex-| perience in getting refreshments to class When he found sophomores con- his horses and he managed to get close to Stiles Hall befure the collegitans could stop him. Then it was too late. There were faculty men in the building and others enter ng every moment, and the second year students did not iike the ideu of entering into a fizht before tnem. Resort was had 1o strategy, some of the sophomores obligingly volunteering to help the candy-man to carry in the deli- cacies, but he dia not appear to desire any assistance. When Mason disappeared with the ice- cream, however, the sophomores had their inning. They seized the horse and proceeded to take the harnessoff. Then turning the animal loose they unbuckle1 the harness in every placs where there was a buckle, so that it was divided into a score of picces, end the task of rehitch- | ing the horse took over an hour. In spite cf the troubles outside the re- | ception in the hall wes a brililant success. Over 200 freshmen aitended, and they were introduced to one another and to upper classmen until each had a list of new friends which the clearest brain couid not keep track of. Now the saying goes that a freshman can be distingu shed on tne street by his constant air ot doub:ful readiness to bow to every one he passes. The address of welcome to the baby class was delivered by Professor Eimer E. Browa. All Are Arrested. BERKELEY, Car., Aug. 2L—M. and A. Shopiro were arrested to-day in San rapeisco on warrants sworn to by George Schmidt of Berkeley, charging them with high misdemeanor in baving removed a hkerd of catile on whicu Scnmidt hea a chattel morteage. The Shopiro family, consisting of B. Shopiro three sons, are now all arrested.

TONS OF HAY BURNED, Disastrous Fire at the Ranch of Super- visor Talcott, OAKLAND, CAL., Aug. 2L.—A large fire occurred on the Talcott ranch this morn- ing. A large hay warehouse in which was stored 700 tons of fodder was com- pletely destroyed and the loss is over $10,000. One of the laborers discov red the fire, but not until it had a firm hold of the building, and in less than twenty minutes after it broke out everything was in flame: Nothing could be done 10 save the building and the tire apparatus was directed 1o saving theé adjoining barns. A chemical engine was sent out from Sev- enteenth-avenua station and did good work in proteciing the sheds on one side of the blszing structure. The barn whicn was destroyed was built three years ago to replace one that had been burned down. It beionged to Su- pervisor Talcott, but the contents were the property of A. . Fay, who holds a leasa of the ranct. The barn was insured tor $1500 and the hay for $5000, but it was worth about $12,000. Kay’s loss is very heavy. A Collector of the Queen’s Portiaits. A Londoner was reprosaching the owner of a house on the route cf the great pro- cession with having let it for the day to a citizen of the United States. ‘It isdisgraceful!” he said, indignantly. “The Queen graciously offers to show h self to a certain numb:r of her London subjects, and they promptly let their win. dows and go to another part of the town.

WAS QUICKLY DESERTED. Ixperience of Mrs Bolte Two Weeks After Marriage. OAKLAND, CAL, Avg. 21.—Mrs. Harry Bolte called on Frank Jordan this morn- ing and tcld him of her speedy desertion by her husband.

They saw an opportnnity to benefit by it and they judiciously added a litile fuel to the fire. Captain Harry Thomas commanded the City team; Captain J. Cal Ewing com- manded the county team. and Mrs. Ewing are both experts at ba: oall and Mrs. Thomas was sure the dis- puted run was earned by the City, while Mrs. Ewing was positive the couniy should be credited with it. This of course took the casus belli out of tue hands of the men ana transferred it to the ladies. As nearly all the charitable 1nstitutions of Vakland are run by the ladies, they de- cided to turn the controversy to good ac- count. It is not known exactly how the end was gained, but to-iay Mr. Ewing and Mr. Thomas met and decided that it would be better to play another game and to donate the gate receipts to the several institutions in a ratio to the number of | tickets sold by the friends of each charity. | This resunlt has proved eminentiy satisfac- tory to all concerned, and next Saturday the rival teams will again meét. The Isdies have already extracted promices | from all the newspapers that the affair shall be a huge success and the estimate of the attendance rauges from one to ten thousand. It has been decided to make the match agala affsir and a meeling of the teama will be veld Monday to decide upon the colors to bs worn on the occasion. These will be adonted by the ladies and the bleachers will be reminiscent of the ocea. sion when John L. Sullivan umpired a match over here in the daysof the old Greenhood & Moran team. The attendance on the last occasion, though large, would have been muci greater had the public known that the match was not more in the nature of a joke than a contest for honor. however, it is known that a ‘bona fide maich will be played and the ladies have already started out to boom the great charity game. There are about haif & dozen charities to snare in the proceeds. The method of giving each charity different ticketa to dispose of was suggested by o of the ladies and readily accepted by the managers. Now titey are sorrv for it, for they have already discovered it means that each person apyroached must buy one “‘off me,” and as there are six ‘‘mes’’ in this instance the nltimate gprice of admission wili be about $3. But 1t is all for charity, and there will be an election next year. WAR IN THE MILITIA, Natfoual Guardsmen Are Not at Peace Among Themselves. OAKLAND, CaL, Aug. 2L—Fenton J.

A CHANGE OF BASE John Sherman, the Deaf Mute | Reported as Lost, Was Quickly Found, | Not of the Kind That Associated Charities Take Pleasure in Helping, | e OARLASD OFFICE AN FRANOISCO CALL.) Broadway, Aus 21 John Sherman, the deaf mute who was reported by his wife 2s miesing, has been founda. The Sherman family has caused the Associated Charities a great deal of trouble during the past two years, There are five children, all afflicted, and the parents have not always acted straighi« | forwardly i dealing with charitable in- | stitutions. | For some time past they have not been | considered worthy apvlicants, but have | arou‘ed much sympathy from individuals, About a week ago Mrs, Sherman notified the secretary of the Associated Charities that her husband had mysteriously disap- peared, and she feared on account of his infirmities that he had met with some fatal accident. Sherman, however, was not falally in. jured, as the following ex ract from a let- ter fror Secretary T. J. Stewart of the Los Angeles Associated Charities conainsively proves, He says: “The lost John Sherman is {n this city ard we would pe delighted fo bave somebody reiurn him 10 the bosom of his family. But under no cir- cumsiances do we desire to have his fam- ily foilow his wandering steps hi:herward, a8 he is not now and never has been a resident of this county.

Private Advices Assure Them That Hard Work Will Produce Gold. An 01d Alaskan Secured to Guide the Treasure-8eekers to Their Destination, OALAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broudway, August 21, | Dr. L. F. Herrick, a man of means of this city, bas private advices of valuabie placers in the Copper River and is or- ganizing an expedition to work them. He has already had prospectors in ths field and as soon as possible the party will start. There will be about 300 men in the com- | pany and all are confident that there is certain good fortune for those who are willing to work. The section on which they will Iccite is not known as a country where pure nuggets can be yicked up, but | proof exists that there is enough goid to pay handsomely for the labor required to get it Z. 1. Fowler, who has lived many years | in Alasks, has been secured as guide to the party, and from his long experience he thinks be is well firted to lead an expe- dition up the Copper River. For many vears he was engaged in cattle-raising in Alaska, and he irequently prospected, and always with the same resulr, “There is gold all over that counfry,” said Mr. Fowler to-day, ‘‘and any one who works can depend on making good wages, and at the same 1ime he standsa good chance of making a rich strike. “*Of course, everybody cannot find pock- ets already filled with virgin goid, but it is a gold country and no one can make a mistake who goes there intending to work. | have prospected in scores of places and I never yet was disappointed by not finding gold in sufficient quanti- ties to pay for mining, Our party will consist of two to three hundred and we shall strike intand from the mouth of the Coprer River. This part cf the country is not like Dawson City and a man hasa chance (o live 1nstead of being frozen to death.” Dr. Herrick has completed all his plans and says thet his party will start from | San Francisco as soon as eircumstances make it possible.

A curious story 1s reported in the lay press which involves an important me- | dico-legal question. Some burglars are stated to have entered a dwelling-house at Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington, and to have chloroformea the inhabitants as a preiiminary rceasure 10 suctessfully loot- ing the house. The alleged victims of ths outrage were a grown-up son of the householder, two adult daughters and two young children, The burglars first entered the room in which the girls and children were slesp- ing, chloroformed them ail without dis- turbing their siumbers, then went into the room of the youth and dealt with him in tbe same way. In the morning the young | man awakened and complained of *“feel- ing very i1l,” wnile his sisters did not (awaken until recalled to mundane exist- | ence throueh the effortsof a medical man. i All professed they did not know anything i about the burglars. It is not our business to discu s the inherent improbability of the siory. Whether five persons could be reduced to anestbetic sleep by hurglars using chloroform in such a way as not to disturb their usual slambers is the matter which interests the profession, Doivean tested the possibility of chloro- forming sleeping persons, and found that, | even using the greatest care, he only suc- ceeded in ten cases oul of twenty-nine; so that even under the most favorab.e coadi- tions Dolbean succeeded in chloroforming without awakening the patient ia about 33 per cent of the cases. Cluness succeeded with two children, and generally 1t is admitted thut young persons are more easily chloroformed ouring slesr, than adulis. In the | well-known case of Richara Smith, who | was tound in bed murdered while his wife | | siept beside him, the woman's defense was that she had been drugged with chloroform, and was not a particeps criminis. | Quimby’s evidence in support of this | p-ex was that he had succeeded in three experiments in producing chioroform | narcosis during natural sleep—in one |uduit and two children. Ia the early | days of the use of chloroform, great fears were entertained lest the drug should be- come an importunt item in the armamen- tarium of every criminal who aspired to distinction in his cailing, but, as was pointed out by Snow and others, chloro- torm-giving involves too much skill and | experience if a satistactory resultis to be | obtained for its use to be possible for the | purposes of crime. In the case before us it seems incredible | that several persons in one room could be | severally chiorofermed wiihout disturb- ance of their own or their neighbor’s slum- | bers, and, further, that the narcosis could be 0 profound that in the case of the giris it snould persist for hours after the administration had been discontinued, and finally require medical aid before it | could be overcome. Maury, in his evi- dence, given in 1871, before the courtat New Bloomfield, Perry County, Pa., said he had tried to chioroforin six persons during their sleep, and all had resisted. The bulk of experience goes to show that, | except 1n the case of infants, it is most | exceptional to succéed in chloroforming | persons without awakening them from | sleep.—Britirh Medical Journal. ———————— PHOTOSRAPEING THE STOMACH. Uses of the Lamp and Camera Invented by a New Jersey Physician. Dr. Edward O. Schaaf of Newark has in- vented an electric lamp and camera for photographing the interior of the stom- ach. The invention is intended to assist in diagnosing obscure ailments, such as cancer of the stomach, and render unnec- essary laparotomy. ©If the interior of the stomach,” said Dr. Schaaf in speaking of his inven- tion, “could have been seen by a pho- tographic process the hazardous opera- tion of exploring the inner organs of the abdominal section would long ago have been replaced, a safer, simpler and more scientific method instituted and more cases successiully treated and bstter ander- stood. Two weeks ago I successfully pho- tographed the intevior of the stemach in a living person, obtaining a perfect pie- ture of the pyloric mucous mem- brane. Since then nearly all ait:mpts have been more or less successful. The greatest obstacle had been to properiy focus the membrane, Inthe experiments upon dogs anesthetics were used, but tie pictures obtained weré unsatisfactory. The solution of thislay in the movements of the stomach. The organ ascended and descended with the diaphragm in each ex- piration and inspiration. This move- ment occurred also in deep anesthesia. The trouble was overcome when tgo camera was introduced into the hi- man subjeet, the patient holding his breath during the exposure of the film. No narcotics are required in indi- viduals, there being no pain connected with the operation. Only five to eight seconds’ exposure to the electric light are necessary, and for this length of time a patient cin easily suspend respiration. “‘The pyloric portion of the stomach is more irequently photographed than the cardiac portion, and this is fortunal because the pyloric end is the m frequent seat of the dis It seems taat when the patient leans to rhe right duriug the insertion of the camera the pyloric end comes into focus otienest. The first photographs impressed me more than any:hing I hid seen in texthooks, although the lens oy which they were taken was notof wide anzle and did not take in much memurane. Toe diteasea stomach is never seen in life except by abnormal sections, and the photography of the stomach may greauy aid the pa- thologist, showing during life much of what is usually seen only afier death. “The eleciric light may first pe pro- duced in crder that an outline of the stomach be made externally on the abdo- men and at the same time the required length of tubing from the teeth 1o the focal point bé determined. There is no exact way of focusing a certain part of the membraue and not every attempt is suc- cessful. The X-rays are not useful in fo- cusing, the flims being sensitive 10 them.

There Were Prizes for Many and Fun for All, The Ladies Rejoice in Considerable Additions to the Fund for the Coming Fair, St, Joseph’s parish held its annual pic- nic and reunion at Shell Mound Park yes- terday. This parish has given other pic- nics and they have all been grand.y suc- cessful, but the picnic yesterday filled even the most reminiscent parishicners with joy. There were over 2000 people in the park during the day, and it there was any one who was not giad hecame he was sub- werged in the sea of general hilarity. The main body of the picnickers ieft on the 9 o'clock boat, aithough every irip un- til late in the aftercoon was patronized by large crowds joyward bound. At the park there was provision for the amusement of everybody. A brass band discoursed music to the delight of all the young people and most everybody was young. There were games and races for all soris and conditions of men, women ana children. There were jiz dancing contests that brought up fond memories of revelries on the green sod away over the water and for the people who couldn’t win anyihing in any other kinds of con- tesis there were gate prizes, 103 in all, and no one has any excuse to be both incompetent and uniucky. The prizes will be distributed at St. Joseph’s Hall Tuesday evening. i The affair was a financial success, a cir- cuwnstance very gratfying to iue iadies, tor the proceeds were to go to the Fair fund. The absence of unp'easant inci- dants throughout the day was a circum- stance gratifying to every one. Threa blue-coated representatives of law ani order had noching to do all day but strut around and look important. They didn’t even catch a small boy trying to scale the fence in fraud of the ticket man. The committee having the picnic and reunion in charge consisted of the follow= ing gentlemen: John T.
