Mayor Phelan felt likewise, and it was finally determined to hold the election on December 14, the idea being that if the election took place late in the year it might be possible to include the question of issuing bonds for the purpose of making public The question of submitting the bond proposition to the electors was discussed, but not decided, as the Commissioners decided to look into the law on the matter before coming to a conclusion. sioners decided yesterday that the Phelan presided over the meeting, being absent.

After the decision of the committee was | announced Cal Ewing of the Reliance | Club and Walter J.

The iine-up will be something as iollows: Ford, catcher; Peddicord or _Russell, pitcher; Gosslinsky, first base; Van Nor- den, second base; Sharp, third base; Brunning, shortstop; Sh ehan, left field; Zan, center fieid; Bluth, right field; “Kid” Peoples, exira.

OAKLAND, CaL, Sept. 24,.—The Reli- ance Ciub is highly satisfied with the ac- tion of its representatives taken at the conference to-day with the managers oi the Examiner baseball tournament. They regard the offer to reinstate the team as a direct insult to the members. They are indignant at the suggestion that they should hand around a petition to the other cluvs begging to be rein- stated, when under the rules of the tour- injustice to the team 1o have dropped it from member- ship. The committee aimitted to the Reliance representaiives, Cal Ewing and Grose, that in the face of the rnle made Augnst 2, and published in THE CALL of Wednesday lsst, the teams should not have been dropped for playine in Sacramento last Sunday, and the Reli- ance team feels that an apology is due it from the management jor its unsports- maniike and ungentlemanly conduct. Members are creatly incensed at the offer of the committee to undo its own error by asking the Reliance tc go on its knees to the captains of the other teams and ask When Cal Ewing returned to the club to-night and expfained the action that had been taken, ms course was warmly commended by all, and they were angry to the unscrupulous management of the tournament. The club has decided to give the new leazue a grear sent-cftat its initiai game a week from to-morrow. when the Rell- ance and Gilt Elge meet at Eighth and Harrison streets in Sun Francisco.

ON HER DECK Narrow Escape of the Little | Gasoline Schooner Moro. A Fire Starts in Her Cabin Through Fuel That Escaped From the Tanks, Combustibles Hurried Ashore—Prompt Work of the Department Saves the Vessel. Only the prompt and effective work of the Fire Department and the fire tug Governor Markham saved the gasoline schooner Mission wharf 1 last evening, and pre- vented what might have proved a feartul catastrophe. The Moro runs along the coast between this port and Cogquille River, Or., and fin- ished ber loading last evenine, so as to be in readiness to sail on the tide this morn- ing. On her forward deck were piled a num- ber of boxes of dynamite and several cases of coal oil. The gasoline fuel to be used on the trip was vlacd on the deck along- side the feed tank tuatsupplies the engine and a hose run into the receptacle. The gasoline had no sooner started to flow than the end of the feed tank became | detached and flew around so that some of | the combustinl» fluid ran over the side and into the skylight leading into the cabin. The lights were lit, and in an in- stant a tower ot flame shot out of the cabin and communicated with the gaso- Line in the tank. An alarm of fire was turned in from box 36,and by the time the engines reached tne scene the flames were eating away the wood work of the cabin and licking at the ail furled on the main boom overhead. Several streams were turned on, and with the assistance of the Markham the fire was soon under control. When Captain Jorgensen first saw the flames, he ordered the dynamite and coal oil hurried ashore, and it was soon out of danger. The Moro was damaged to the extent of | several hundred dollars, and the portion of the cargo that was on deck t0 a small extent. | The Lunacy Commission.

SCHOOL BOARD STITS ASSURED | Dr. 0"Donnell and Attorney Wall Will Seek to Oust Directors. A Sample of How a Yellow Journal Revamps 01d News for New. Nepotism and Other Abuses May Come to Light—Sanitary Inspectors Discharged. The Examiner yesterday morning em- ployed its usual scheme of waiting uatil news on which 1t had been beaten is from three days to a week old and then spring- ing it as a sensation with a view of fooling its readers into a belief that it is always up to date. Several days ago Tur CALL announced that because of the cuts made in the ap- propriations by the new Board of Super- visors there would be retrenchment ail along the line, and that among others the Health and School departments would let outa portion of their laborers. The Ex- aminer, in head lines two columns wide, announced this as something new, and stated that twenty-one men would be dis- charged from the School Department. Asa matter of fact apout fifteen men were laid off and others may be, but the Examiner was several days late in discov- ering it. Director Waller, chairman of the Health Commitiee, gave notice yesterday to Dr. C. Schilling and John Costigan, the two sanitary insvectors of schools, to make out their time for to-day, which means that tueir services will have to be dis- pensed with. “Iam sorry that this had to be done,”” he stated lastevening, “'and think it is, in fact, a shame. “These men have been of great service, have performed their duties econscien- tiously, and are badly needed. Kor in- stance, here is report on the Washing- ton Grammar School, handed in iately by Costigan.” The report referred to was by Costigan concerning Miss Houghton’s classroom. It asserted thut an examination showed mauy of the desks too high and seats too low, and vice versa. Many of the pupils were suid to be obliged to stand while writing, and parents in several cases were reported as threatening to take their chil- dren from school if the conditions pre- vailing were not bettered. Director Burns denied that any remov- als bad been made in his department yes- | terday, but admitted that about fourteen or fifteen will huve to be removed the first of next montk. He said $115,000 of the $1,200,000 appropriation must go for the ™ nent of back salaries, leaving only $1.085,000 for the year. “It has been charged,’”” he said, “'that most of these men occupy sinecures, but this is not true. They are good men and do good work—as good as for any private individual—and I hate to let them go until the last moment.”” “There was considerable activity in school matters yesterday, tie rivalry between Plaintiff O’'Donnsil and Piaintiff Wall, both eazer to oustthe present Board of Education, reaching fever heat by noon. It is understood by those close to Attor- ney Wall, who is said to be attorney for a large element religiously opposed to the board, that he will probably proceed crim- inally under section as a victory in this case would give bim a reward of $500, and as he is out for fees he is friendly to the act which gives to the informer a re- ward, Dr. O'Donnell laughs at the idea of try- ing to make money out of the suit and proclaims that he 1s for the people and that he is moved by a strong desire to benefit the whoie people. Attorney Wail has mystified the clerx by asking for all sorts of facts and figures relative to the conduct of the department He assumes that there have been a great many contracts let for more than the statatory $200 by a species of splitting jobs 110 many parts. The question of nepotism cannot cut any legal figure in the case, but Superin- tendent Webster and o:hers have com- piled a table showing that the relatives of the Directors are not suffering for lack of employment. The list inciudes the fol- lowing among others: Two daughters of Director Curew, a sister of Director Drucker, a s:ster of Dr. Ragan, a niece of Director Hammond, a sister-in-law of Director Barrington, a sister-in-law of Director Waller, and many relatives of re- mote degree. said that there has been a great Will Ee an Attorney’s Bride. The engagement has just been made public of P. Alexander Bergerot and Miss Amanda M. Dupuy. Mr. Bergerot, who is a member of the charter convention and is always prominently identified with all movements tending to the advance- ment of the community at large, is one of the most promising of our FranccsAmeri- can citizens. Miss Dupuy is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Dupuy of 1820 Post street. The wedding of this popular young couple will be celebrated in December. | AR AN AANAAUA AR NAHA AR AN AHANAVAHANAHANAA AN A AR AR AR ALANAUAALAUANAUANALANA AN A AN AUANALIATAN NEW TO-DAY- DRY G?OD?. _a_mrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmunfiknmmg = - = LIQUIDATION SALE BARGAINS FOR SATURDAY’S TRADE.

Captain Jenks of the trooper band, who fed his nags on posts and sand, was ves- terday morning ordered under military arrest. The order was issued by General War- field, commanding the Second Brigade, N. G. . It was notimmediately served, as Jenks could not be found. In effect it is merely perfunctory, there is no desire on the part of the ge eral in command to subject Jenks to spe- cial inconvenience. He could, however, be confined within General Warfield's jurisdiction under military guard at one of the armories or at the County Jail. General Warfield said last night that he is in no hurry for the court-martial, but will probably order it within the next three days. The command of Jenks’ company has devolved temporarily upon Lieutenant Burnewt. “If,”” says General Warfiela, *Jenks should be found guilty by the court-martial and depr.ved of bis com- mand, tbe captaincy of the company will likely be filled bv some member of the company elected by the popular vote of his fellows.”” FELL FORTY FEET.

LANGTRY GOMING T0 WED The Jersey Lily Will Defy Her Former Husband by Marrying Again, | ol L Prince Esterhazy to Be Re- warded for His Long and Tireless Devotion, They Have No Fears of a Suit for Bigamy on Their Return to England. Mrs. Langtry, 1n spite of her former hus- band’s statement that he did not recog- ze the decree of the California court as i and should she marry again and set foot in Eneland would prosecute her for bizamy, wiil wed Prince Esterhazy. Louis Esterhazy de Galantha has been very devoted, and though contrary to the wishes of his family seems to be deter- mined to make the Jersev Lily his wife. He is a colonel of the imye:ial bodyguard and an attache to the Austro-Hungary embassy in London, is nephew to Prince Anthony Eiterhazy, the celebrated di- plomatist, and bears a remerkable resem- blance to Emperor Franci: Joseph. He is said to have lived a very fast life on the Continent and in England, where he maintains a racing stable, it being through Mrs. Langtry’s well-known fancy for the turf that an acquaintance was formed which will eventually end in their marriage. Attornev Henry C. McPike of the firm of Dunne & McPike said: *“I have re. ceived word from Mrs. Langtiry that she will visit California accompanied by Prince Esterhazy, and that immediately upon their arrival they will be married, tbe ceremony to take place in the latter part of Novem ber.” When asked as to her opinion of Mr. Langiry’s threat of prosecution for bigamv should she remarry, Mr. McPike said: “‘The fact that they have decided to be married here is not to be taken as evi- dence that either Mrs. Langtry or the Prince have any doubt as to tue legality of the California decree in any country, her London solicilors. having informed her that the decree granted her in Cali- fornia has freed her entirely, so that she may marry whenever she chooses.” Mrs. Langtry’s first visit to California was with a dramatic company several vears axo. She secured a house on Twenty- first street, in the Mission, it being her purpose to become a resident of San Francisco in order that she might procure a divorce from her husband. It was currently reported at the time that her anxiety to be freed from her bus- band was caused by a corresponding de- sire to become the wife of Fred Gebhardt, who appeared to be madly infatuared witl her. Her busband, although assured by her agents that there were good grounds for adivorce in case he wished to sicure one, had repeate ! ly declined to allow ner to <ecure a legal separation; therefore hig ‘is on every wrappes of CASTOKIA ! i | | ] i 1 {in 1895 caused considc failure to appear in his own defense when Mrs. Langiry began her suit in Lakeport le surprise, It was not until Judge Crump of the Supe- rior Court of Lake County granted her de- cree that Mr. Langtry gave 2s his reasons for neglecting to notice the proceedings that he did not recognize the validity of the decree, and’ that should she at any time remarrv and visit England he would have her proszcuted for bigamy. He denied any statements that the f: Lily bad in any way contributed to | support, or had at any time sent him money; on tue contrary, he sa.d that upon their marriige he had made a settle- ment upon her, which, in spite of the cree, would remain undisturbed until her death.
