THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER S8 1897 11 IVED NEARLY A | HONDRED YEARS Death of Ebenezer Haley, One of the Oldest of Pioneers. ‘ Kept Out of Public Life, but Was One of This State’s Builders. For Half a Century He Has Been a Busy Farmer in Alameda County. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrRANCIScO CALL) | 908 Broadway, Dec. 7. | Had Ebenezer Haley lived till the close | of the present McKinley administration he would have completed just a century of life. Tuis satisiaction, however, was denied him, and this morning, at his old residence at Newark, e passed away at the age of 97. cs 1855 Mr. Haley has resided on the fa vhich is still in possession of his famr: and on which he died. He was one of tiose industrious, unassuming pioneers that laid the foundation of this State. Never heard of in politics, opposed 2 all kinds of publicity, he laid the foun- ation of his moderate fortune in the mines, after which he followed the profes- sion of his father and located in this county. In 1801 at Yarmouth Ebenezer Huley was born. His parents were pio- neers of that province and the boy was | i ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. for their construction if neeessary and to cotlect tolls. Afterarguing that low-water mark m ght not be a reasonabie l:mit for the benefi' of commerce, which requires wharves cut to deen water, Mr. Shanklin concludes: “Nor can one word befound in the act fix- ing low-water mark as the limit for con- struction, nor 18 any particular_depth of water designated, as in the San Francisco | acts to mark the limitschannelward. The act wisely omitted all such unnecessary limitations where variable con itions or change- should control as to the extent of structures.” T e discovery of low-water line as the pivot on which the whole water front de- cision turns 1 determining the extent of the land grant to the town of Oakland cannot be claimed b: the attorneys on either side nor by tue lower couri—their legal acumen was not sharp enough to develop this fine point of light in the c The discovery seems to have evolved from the ianer conscionsness of the court outside of the wording of the act and to come fully within the province of the following piragraph taken from the decision. Tle court sags: *“‘It fre- quently happens that the framers of a law bave no weil-deflned idea of what they desire to accomplish, or no capacity to give expression to their ideas. In such cases the difficuit task is imposed upon courls of discovering a meaning that never existed. Such, I think, is really the case here.” The decision, however, shows that the court was fully equal to | the task imposed, and the Legislature, as well as Carpeutier, who drew the act, is exonerated from ever having intended | what the court has discovered and found for future guidance.

Conunuing, she says: “The plan also calis for the removal of the useless, pur- poseless planting in the park, as a basis ior intelligent nung aiud grouping of first-class material, flowering shrubs, palms, conifera, etc. This would cail for ‘e removal of about fifty so-cailed ‘‘plants” and the careiul selection of an equal number of first-ciass specimens so | arranged that their value wouid be edu- cational, artistic and utilitarian. That intelligence costs in the beginning goes without saying. That to be guided by it is true economy is equally true.” —_——————— THE FIRST OCASE.

LATEST ROMANCE Elopes to Sacramento With a Young Lady From Oakland. A Few Months Ago She Wore the Hallelujah Bonnet and Testified. Now She Is the Wife of the Cowboy Detective Who Hunted the Apache Kid. OaxLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Dec. 7. Archie Majors, who made a record some time ago by taking a wild steed :nto Arizona and attempting tu catch the Apache K d, has added one more chapter to the romance of his young life. His latest exploit consists in stealing the affections of a young lady whbo re- cently was a soldier of the Salvation Army, fleeing with herto Sacramento and taking her for his wife. About three weeks a0 Miss Lena Stone, an attractive young laay about 20 years of age, was missing from her home in Oak- land. Miss Stone, a few months ago, was a Ssivation Army soldier and was en- gaged to marry a very worthy young man, also a member of the organization. For some reason unexplained she threw up her allegiance to the army and to the red- shirted warrior at the same time and cen- tered her affections the next time ona young man named Smith. It was gener- ally supposed that Miss Stone and Srith would soon be united, but at this period Archie Majors came along, and, being ratuer an atiractive young tellow, he soon succeeded in taking Smith’s place and after a short acquaintance he also was nissing just about the time Miss Stone went away. A few days ago a rumor drifted down from Sacramento that the young folks were married, but their relatives refused to be- lieve it. Inquiry at the Couxuty Clerk’s office in Sacramento shows that Archie Mujors took out the necessary license to wed November 20. He gave his ageas 21 and over” and that of Miss Lena C. Stone as *20 years and past,’”” and stated that they were both residents of San Francisco. The necessary ailidavit was also sworn to by Majors that there were no legal objec- tions to the marriage. Miss Stone has a si~ter who is a member of the Oaklana corps of the Salvaiion Army, and Archie Majors' mother is Mrs. Wagner, who recently had considerable trouble on account of a worthless hus- band. Sheis now industriously support- ing herself and two little children in this city. Archie was working previous to his marriage in ashoestore on Washington street and frequently helped his mother. She is very much cpposed to the marriage, and at the present Lime there is no par- ental blessing awaiting the children when they return. & JA Juror’s Message to the Court.
