BERKELEY, CaL., Sept. 6.—Berkeley’s charter and the general law of the State clash, and in consequence the Town Trus- tees bad to meet to-night to make the an- nual tax levy, only to adjourn to do the same thing over to-morrow night. The charter declares that the Trusteea shall meet on the first Monday in Sep- tember to make the annual tax levy for the town. The act of the last Legislature has made the first Monday in September a holiday, and any action taken by the board on that date is therefore void. Consequently the board will meet again to-morrow night to ratify the action it takes this evening. The regular meeting of the Board of Echool Trustees will be held at the same time. Investigating the Rush. BERKELEY, CaL.,, Sept. 6.—President Clinton Miller and other members of the sopLomore class have been investigating the cause of the injuries sustained by Ben Kurtz in the rush last week. They de- clare that Kurtz was hurt by a sophomore running over him on his way to the rush. According to Miller Kurtz was knocked down by & sophomore who was trying to cscape from a yard on Bancroft way. He was stunned by the fall and, as he lay motioniess in the durkness, a second sophomore stumblied over him, causing the injuries wihich were found upon him, Will Discuss Affiliation.

OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrRaNCISCO CALL,] 908 Broadway, tept. 6. § Mrs. Clara McLellan made a partial con- fession to-day, which throws some light on the peculiar circumstances surround- | ine her case. As siated several days ago | THE CALL it is generally believed that | she was not alone when she committed | burglary and robbery at th: Dias hou-e, E'mhurst. She has, however, carefully guarded the name of the man wih whom she was intriguing.

Now Following Eer Husband, Who Was Recently Playing in Cakland. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 6. | Although Professor R. 8. de Rome Wood as 30 anxious to marry Miss Marie Davis less than a year ago tbat he asked her mother for her hand before he was di- vore.d from his first wife, he soon discov- red that he was no better suited to his cecond wife than to his first. For over two weeks Mrs. Wood has been in this city from Ione, seeking intorma- tion about her husband and his two chil- iren. Mrs. Wood teils a pitifui s 0 v of her short married life, ana now greatly regrets that she was in such a hurry to marry the English profescor. Less than six months of married life convinced the ady that she had made a grave mistake, ind the information she has gathered, she <ays, justifies some of her worst fears. Professor Wood is now traveling over the Siate with bis little ones and is creati much 1nterest with his son Darwin, who is a musical prodigy. About three months ago Professor Wood and his son appeared at a concert atthe Y. M. C. A. and young Wood cre- ated a sensation. He his mude a National | reputation by his playing and is but§ | years of ae. Not long after the professor left town an attractive young woman came to this city and 8 she was his wife, and in proof o! her sta‘emert she exhibited her mar- riage license. “I am Mr. Wood’s second wife,” said Mrs. Wood. ‘““Ihe chiliren’s mother got a divorce from him in Philadelphia about November, 1893, and he has frequently stated that their mother, Nellie gray, is dead. She is not dead, and_neither is the | children’s stepmother or Wood's second wife. Iam told he hascirculated stories 10 the eftect that I am dead, and I intend, if possible, to see that the children are | better treated than they were whiie I was living with him. He told me that his first wife was not a good woman, but now that 1 bave had some experience [ am in- | ciined to doubt his statement. He was so | anxious (0 marry me that he asked my motber for permission to do so before Le was divorced from his otber wife. When we we:e living in Ione a few months ago he went out with the two children one evening and never returned. “I have not seen them since, bul be- !ieve he is now in the northern part of the State. He went away from lone to Stock- ton without a word of notice to anyboyay | and took the cnildren with him. He left me destituie, and I really believe that at times he is not entirely responsibie. I was constantly subjected to acisof cruelty and unkindness, and once we had trouble because I would not sign some papers which would have turned over to him ab- solutely all our hou-ehold property. We | were married last September 1n Pennsyl- | vania and came direct to Cal:fornia. At that time I had several bundred dollars | and some property, which I sold, so that when I came 10 California I brought about $1400. I 1ntend to place my case in the sands of the SBociety for Ch.ldren, as I be- lieve it is against the lnw to give public | verformancas with u chid as young as | Darwin, The profes<or was in a hurry to marry me, and after six months he seemed as anxious to get away.”” A CLOSE OALL. Mrs. Cramer of Sa Francisco Went to | Sleep With a Rail for a Pillow. ALAMEDA, CAL., Sept. 6.—It is not the fault of Mrs.Mary Cramer that her mangled remains are not now lying at the Morgue awaiting identification.

LABOR UNIONS REVIVE. | Will Establish Headquarters Where All Can Meet. | OAKLAND, Carn., Sept. 6.—The labor | unions of this city, which have had a hard struggle to keep together on account | of the commercial depression of the last few years, are now striving to strengthen their organizations. i For over two years the heads of the labor movement have attempted to estab- lish labor headquarters where the unions | couid hold regular meetings and maintain | a reading-room and reception-room. The | plan was not supportea, and now an at- tempt is being madas 1o renew the exper:- Tuesda:; ready for shipment to St. Michnel a fine | the Mechanics’ Fair last night, and the ment in Institute Hell, on Broadway, new river steamer, which will be ready | way the sons and daughters of Ecotia |near Eleventh street. for servics on the Yukon when navigation | turned out in plaids, kilts and hejeweled | opens next summer. The company has | costumes made the heartsof the mana:ers | el o decided 1o have ready next spring | of the fair glad. Every Scottish oreaui- | 1wo moere ocean steamers to ply between | zation in the City was represented and an | musicians, to Enter the Hawaiian Local Coasting Trad:. San Francisco and 8t. Michael. says that itis notknown yet whether these steamers will be bought or built this winter., These enterprises are but partof the plans for enlarged facilitles which the Alaska Commercial Company has in view to meet the great spring rush to the Yu- kon, which is anticipated, and the com- petition of the North American Transpor- tation and Trading Company, which is pushing its business ahead with consider- able talk about it. The new river steamer will be a large one, fitted with powerful machinery, and it will be the equal of any boat afloat on | the Yukon. The machivery for it has been built in this City and it will be shipped to St. Michael in a few days on the biz steam schooner Lakme, which is now being loaded by the company at Folsom-street wharf, and which will clear | for St. Michael some time next week. The new steamer will be fitied to accom- modate a large number of passengers as | well as freight, and wili be named the Leah, in honor of a young lady who is a ward o! Captain Niebaum. The lumber for the hull is now being loaded, and the vessel will take along a crew of workmen, who will build and muake ready the steamer during the winter and spring. The Lakme will also take along mate- rial for three river barges, which wiil also be constructed before spring. The Alaska Commercial Company will thus have six steamers on the river when navigation opens early next summer. When the late rush began the company accepted but about 100 passengers for Daw- son, refusing applications from over 300 people, many of whom offered large pre- miums for tickets. The company would take no chances in getting to St. Michael more people than it could count on getting up the river. With two new ocean steamers and an enlarged river service the company ex- pects to be able to handle all the business that comes next year. Louis Bloss Sr. savs that the Alaska Commercial Company is getting up the Yukon this vear over 6000 tons of mer- chandise, the value of which wiil average over$100a ton. This would make a total of over $600,000 worth of goods sent in by this company alone. When spring opened the company had 1000 tons of stuff which had been stored over winter at St Michael waiting to be rushed up the river when navigation opened. Duricg the seu- son several shiploads of stuff have been sent on from here. The steamer Excelsior has made two trips and the steamer Bertha one. The Excelsior will make yet another trip after her return, and the steamer Lakmeis now loading. During the season the schoon- ersJewett, Coleman, Courtney Ford, Alice Qook and James A. Garfield have veen sent out laden for St. Michael by the com- any. 5 “lylook for a far bigger rush to the Yu- kon next spring,’’ said Louis Sioss yester- day. “So far the rush has been only a local one. Nextyear they will come from every portion of the globe. While itis a rich country I don’t think there is room for all the people that are going in at once, and there will be a great amount of hardship and failure.” The new steamer Upolu, which has been completed for R. R. Hind, will not leave for the Hawaiiun Islands unul Thursday or Friday. The vessel ix a pretty and weli-built litile craft 93 feet inlen:t, 18 feet beam and engines ! 150 horsepower. Her cost was about $20,000. She will run between the poris of the districts of Kohala and Kola on the islana of Hawaiiin connection with the trips of tLe regular schooners John G. North and Muriel running between San Francisco and Kona Honoipu. ‘Want City Water Rates. OAKLAND, CaAL, Sept. 6.—The resi- dents in the annexed district are anxious to have their water rates reduced.

A Newspaper Man’s Grief. OAKLAND, Cav., Sept. 6.—M. C. Cen- ter, an old newspaper man, is at the Receiving Hospital suffering from exhaus- tion.

During the intermission a number of fancy dances were executed.

The Shoan Trubis was danced by Miss Bassett, and J. S. McIntosh displayed his grace, agility and bere legs in a lively sword dance. Between the dances Professor J. W. Mc- Kenzie led & monster chorus, which sang some favorite selections. The selections rendered were “‘Scots Wha Hae,” **Auld Lang Syne,” “Annie Laurie” and “Ye Banks and Braes o’ Bonnie Doun.’” Another great throng is expected at the Pavilion to-night, when the German Tur- ner societies will present a varied pre- gramme of athleticevents.
