Special Dispatch to THE CarL | e BUCKSPORT. Mk., Oct. 29.—Not since the memoraole three days’ reizn of terror some years ago, when *“Old Charlie,” the big elepunant, escaped from Washburne's show and took possession of ths town, has old Buckspor: been so stirred up as during the past few davs, and all on ac- count of an invasion of bears. Bears are roaming around within the limits of the first school astrict; one has been shot within half a mile of the Post- cffice, off the main street, while others have been seen even nearer. Aided with a cbain attached to his collar, the situation has been wrought up to an ex- citing pitch. The invasion began with the appearance of a big bear in the high- way at Davis Corner Sunday afternoon. He scared about twenty borses into fits. James Stubbs, who drives the Castine stace, saw a big biack bear asieep on a ledge. He tnought it was a dog and whistled to it. The dog arose to the iength of atout nine feet of glossy fur, tried his claws on a birch tree and slid down the ledge into the woods. Half a dozen hunters reporied bear in ty. Eimer Barnard, a local pumped bullets into one on the Orland road, and he keeled over. till another mimrod dispatched a fat, hali-grown bear, at the trysting piace of Bucksport's youth, known as Killingpoint. Sears were seen in Leeches Wood on Miles lane, on the out:kirts of the town. Then (hings ceased to be a joke and Bucksnort folks got scared. Captain T. M. Nicholson'’s biz Lab-ador dog Sick Em broke his chain and got away, and the nalf-wild beast frightened people at night. On Tuesday there was a general turnout | of the sportsmen, and Davis Corner re- | serabed a muster tield. The G. A. veterans turnod out with army muskets, | and even one old flintlock came to tne | front. Prominenf among the hunters was Jeremiah Mink, who had ten pounds of ’lu\rder and seventy-nine bulleis in re- serve. Good old Rév. Benjamin Foeg, in | spite of his 8 rs, felt the sporting biood in his veins, took down an old | musket, strapped on his powder-born and joined the forces at the cross roads. At a iate bour Friday the forces were still in the field. HALLOWEEN PARTY. th Annual Social of the San Francisco Thistlo Club. The sixieenth annual Halloween and “‘fausa face” party of the San Francisco | Ecotush Thistle Club was heid last even- |ing in B'nai B'rith Hall, and the large | ance hull was filled to the dours with | those who find pleasure in keeping alive | the customs of the land of their birth. As far as practicable people from the land of | the heather preserved the features that caused them so much pleasure in the days of old, and nearly every one bpresent haa his and her face covered with masks that | lent much merziment to the occasion.

Special Dispateh io THE CALL STANFORD UNLIVERSITY, Oct, 29.— Three thousand people attendei the kir- mess to-night. The students turned out en masse.

The faculty and ladies originated tr idea and laid the plans, and the studen were ready with he!pin: hands to do all in their power to see the affair througa to success.

C. Edgar, acting Warden at the State prison at San Quentin, seems to have found himself in trouble in con- sequence of having failed to obey the order of the Judge of the Superior Court of San Diego County in not executing J. J. Ebanks, the murderer, on the day and time directed by the court, As stated he was cited to appear before Judze Torrence of that county and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. Naturally enough he appealed to the Attorney-General for advice and his request has been the cause of much corre- | spondence. It seems that Edgar, on the cay set for the execution, at the request of the pris- oner's attorney, deferred the execution from 10:30 A. M. to 2:30 P. M. and meantime tie attorney got outa writ of habeas cerpus. At this point in the proceedings Henry E. Carter, acting Attorney-General, ad- vised Kdgzar uot %o hang the murderer, pending the hearing of the habeas corpus matter. When the contempt matter came up Edgar asked for help from tihe Attor- ney-General’s office and Mr. Carter tele- graphed to Washington to his superior, Fitzgerald, who is there looking sfter the Durrant case, for instructions. The fol- lowing answer was received : The office cannot advise the Warden to dis- obey Torrence’s order, although a resentence of Ebanks &t this time may cause serious com- plications as a violation of section 766 of the Revised Statutes of the United States and re- sult in Federal intervention. Under no cir- cumstances can_ the office defrnd Captain Ed- gar's action in deferring Ebanks’ exceution at The request of and for the sccommodation of Ebanks’ attorneys. In so far as the execution was delayed by him upon your advice based upon the action of the Federal court and the Iaw, to that extent only you appear at San Diego in his defense, * bl Upon the receipt of this Mr. Carler sent this communication to Captain Edgar: Dear Sir: In answer to your inquiry us to whetnher_or not you should aeliver Joseph Juphet Ebanks to thie Sheriff of San Diego County under an order of the Superior Court of said county served upon you on the 28th inst., requiring you, as acting warden of said prisou, upon presentation and delivery to you oy the Sheriff of said county of a certifiea copy of sald order, to immediately and forthwith deliver to said sheriff the said Joseph Japhet Ebanks to be by said Shenff returned to the city of San Diego and brought before the court on’the second day of November, 1897, at the hour of 10 o’clock, to the end that said court may inquire into the facts, aud if no legal rea- son or reasons exist against the execution of said judgment of deatn, that an order be made by sald court that the Warden of the State prison to whom said Sherift msy be direcied thereafter to deliver said defendant shall exe- cute said jndgment of denth sta time to be specified by the order of said court, I desire to siate that the Attorney-Geueral cannot advise you 10 disobey the order of said court. although | esentence of Ebanks at this 1ime may serious complications as a violation of se 766 of tne Revised Statutes of the United States and result in Federal iutervention.

He ex- plained that the main changes in the sys- tem embodied in the chapter proposed by the committee were the appointment by the Mayor of five School Directors who, with certain restricted powers, would have charge of the schools, and the crea- tion of a Board of Superintenaents, con- sisting of the Superintenaent and his four deputies, who woula control the profese sional management of all eaucational detai Alfred Cridge, with the backing of a vigorous minor made a good fight to amend the first section so as to provide for the election of the School Directors by proportional representation. The debate on this subject lasted for more than two bours anl ook a wide range, covering many side issnes. Those opposed to the principle of proporticnal representation | claimed that it would be unconstitutional and that the law committee had already reporied to such effect. Opinions by Judge John A. Wrignt | and Mr. Legzett were resd holding the contrary view. One of the delegates de- claring that propcriional representation | was a monstrous humbug was quietiy re- | buked by Mrs. L. K. Burke, who said that she preferred an appointea board, but it the Directors were 10 be elected she would favor their election by proportional repre- sentation. An amendment by W. J. Cuthbertson that the School Directors be chosen from the Board of Supervisors was rej:cted. The amendment for pro’ ional repre- sentation was de:eated by a vote of 20 10 9. Senator Samuel Braunhart wanted the wuich view Madison Bavcock and John Dunn concurred. The convention, how- ever, stood fast by ihe principle of an ap- pointive board. On motion of Mr. Kelly, the rule re- quiring that in the selection of Directors prefeience should be given to heads of famulies was stricken our. ‘The convention, sitting a committee on the whole, was discussing the question whether the board snould consist of five or fifteen wher. a motion to rise and report progress was carried. The first section of the capter relating to the Board of Kducation stood as fol- lows when the proceedings closed last night: Section 1. The School Department shall be under 1he control and management of a Board of Education, composed of five Sehool Dirsc- tors, who shall be appointed by the Mayor. They shall not be less than 30 years of age and’ must have been residauts of the city sud couniy of San Francisco for at least five | | | Meerteif, | 52 Market st. years prior to such appointment. They shall receive no compensation.
