The sergeant has been for ears the properly constituted officer performing that duty, and he has me it by rotation. I understand dge Low has been complaining be- ise the Hoff case was not assigne to his court. As I understand the mat- ter, the case was assigned to his court n the regular rotation, but before the papers were ready. The complaining ritnes the murdered woman's brother-in-law, swore to the complaint in Judge Joachimsen's court, and, of course, the case came before him. “The proposition to equally divide the cases among the four courts, | whether the arrests are made by war- rant or otherwise, is in my opinion, wrong. W a complaint is sworn to , that gives the court juris- | ion in the case.

When a case is dis missed in court the defendant walks out of court, and the prison-keeper has to depend upon the list handed to him by the bailiff of the court after the court has adjourned as to whether a has been discharged. In East- ern_cities all the prisoners are taken back to the prison from the court, and in the event of any of them bhaving been discharged they are not released from prison until a written order of discharge is received by the prison- keeper from the Judge. It is an evil that can easi be remedied. A BIG AUSTRIAN STEAM COLLIER pris One More Vessel Will Ply Between This Port and 1‘ Nanaimo. | BEvE o The Camanche Goes to Mare Island | Accident to the Sloop-Yacht Annie. 1 John Rosenfeld,s Sons have secured another big collier to run between this port 1 Nanaimo. It is the Austrian steel screw steamer Burma, which ar- rived here shortly after midnight yes- terd with a cargo of coal. She is now discharging at Long Wharf, Oak- iand.

The steamer is 225 feet long, 41% feet broad and 22 feet 8 inches dee She came to Nanaimo from Viadivostok, January 1. The training-ship Camanche was towed up to Mare Island at 7:30 a. m. vesterday by the tug Governor Mark- ham.. The old monitor also used her own steam. On board were a few | riembers of the First Division of the Naval Battalion and almast all of the Second. Captain Turner was in charge. The tug returned with the party later in the day, but the monitor will trans- fer her coal to the Marion, which will steam down and moor in the stream as | soon as Governor Budd is able to at- tend. Next Tuesday the steamer Alert will leave for Central America on a surveying expedition. She has on a deck load of lumber to use landmarks. The British ship Cornishead, Cap- tain Nielson, arrived here yesterday, sixty-five days from Newcastle, N. S. W., with 3772 tons of coal for J. J. Moore & Co. Light winds were gener- | ally encountered, except from latitude degrees to 5 degrees south, when a United States 4 succession of easterly and northwest- erly gales were met.

Picks a Quarrel With Fred Hallen, the Actor, and Is Sent Sprawling by @ Stinging Blow. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—A morning pa- | brawl in the | barroom of the Imperial Hotel yester- day afternoon, in which Charles T. Fair of San Francisco and Fred Hal- len and Charlie Ross, vaudeville actors, were involved. The latter were en- ley and John T. Kelly when Fair en- tered the place and broke lnxu'the con- versation, saying to Ross: “Well, who are you? You are no Booth. Ross did not explain who he was, but he did give his opinion of Fair and his discourtesy. Fair wandered away, but soon returned and said to Hallen: “What's the matter with him?" nod- ding toward Ross. “You intruded, and offended,” answered Hallen, pacifically. “Suppose I apologize,” returned Fair. | “Go get me some paper and I'll write an apology.” 3 messenger boy, quick,” said Hallen, shortly. | “Ain’t you big enough for a messen- ger?” was Fair's reply. 3 Already nettled at Fair's intrusion upon the party and upon the silent re- ception of the oral scourging of Ross, Hallen answered the insulting speech | with a blow. A table, a chair, a silk hat and a millionaire all went down together. The attendants hastily re- moved Fair from the room. MARKETS AGAIN MEET DEFEAT “Napoleon” Fagin’s Collection | Succumbs to the Will ! & Fincks. { I suppose he is The Game Replete With Errors and Heavy Stick Work—Other Games. Napoleon” Fagin's colts seemed to have lost their grip. Yesterday they allowed the Will & Fincks to take their scalps, and if this continues Fagin will have to instill more ginger into his ag- gregation. Iberg was given a vacation in another portion of the lot and Bodie tried his hand at twirling. He only tried, however, as the Will & Fincks batted him in all directions, and he had to give way to Henry Krug. Krug has always possessed a wing and he show- ed up to good advantage. Six strike- outs in four innings is not a bad repu- tation for any pitcher to establish. Fitzpatrick pitched a steady game up to the eighth, when Knell, wishing to have more than a speaking part in the game, finished for his side. Both men did good work. The game was full of batting.and errors, and the small-sized crowd got enough excitement out of the game to keep them warm. H. Krug lost five balls over the fence in succes- sion, making the heart of Manager Mc- Neill sad. Following is the score: CAL. MARKETS. AB R BH 8B PO A E H.

Dr. Charles Edward Locke, at the Cen- tral Methodist Church last evening, preached a sermon on the subject, “ Bure Your Sin Will Find You Out.” large audience fillled the church and those present listened with closest at- | tention. Dr. Locke is conducting revival services, meetings being held afternoons and evenings. Deep interest is being manifested in these special meetings. In his sermon Dr. Locke said there were two reasons why sin cannot be concealed. | TFirst, because sin is incompatible with | man's mordl and physical nature, and when sin is habituaily committed and laws are broken the penalties of diso- bedience are imposed, and thus sin testi- fies nst the sinner. The second rea- | son is that man’s conscience exposes | him. Conscience demands p: restitu- tion; it fastens guilt. Conscience does 5r 1ter affiiates With “unrelenting ot or T al with "unrelenti; chidings. - fon the threshold of life, into eternity | wages o | same ha | of {land and yet be held by sin. of Judge Swasey, the Ni LAlameda judiciary, SERMON ON THE DURRANT CRIME Rev. J. A. Cruzan Draws| a Moral From the Execution. ‘ | | Declares That the Gallows Is| One of God’s Awful Teachers. Emphasizes the Eternal Law Tha “The Wages of Sin Is Death.” BERKELEY, Jan. 9.—Rev. J. A. Cru- | zan of the North Berkeley Congrega- | tional Church preached this e%ening on ‘ “The Shadow of the Gallows.” He pictured dramatically the various | scenes of the Durrant case, the mur- | ders, the trial, the imprisonment and the execution. | The preacher chose for his text Job | ivi8: “BEven as I have seen, they that | plow iniquity and sow wickedness shall | reap the same.” He spoke in part as | follows: 5 $ | The black shadow of the gallows rests | upon our fair commonwealth. The awful | “horrors which desecrated Emmanuel Church; the terrible trials; the battle in the courts to evade the death penalty; the final act last Friday, when the stern hand of the law sent a young man, just these terrible facts are burned into our memories. We cannot forget them if we would. | Horrible as it all was and is, the gal- lows is one of God's teachers. 1 judge no man. "\\'flh malice toward none, and with charity for ail,” 1 would have you sit for a little time to-night under the “shadow of the gallows,” and with hushed hearts listen while this grim mes- senger speaks. The first lesson this horrible teacher utters is old and threadbare—that sin, all sin, is fraught with peril. Had the | crowds which packed the courtroom duy- ing the trials and that crowd in the San Quentin death chamber been keen-eyed, they could have seen written on the walls over the jury box and on the cross- beam of the gallows the words, “The f sin is death,” written by the d which penned the phrase on Belshazzar's banquet hall. Young people are in danger of forgetting this old, awful truth. They see men plunging into sin, but no evil consequences fol- low. On'the other hand, these men seem to enjoy life in an animal sort of w | But suddenly sin, which seemed so harm- less, shocks the world with an awful crime and turns upon the wrong-doer. | There, in thé dead face of the m, in | the suspense of the terrible trial, in the long, dreary imprisonment, on the cross- beam of the gallows, the dullest eyed can read the old truth, “The wages of sin is death.” The galiows teaches that sin is a traitor. “Be sure your sin | will find you out,” says the Bible. The keenest detective is sin itself. No trans- gression can be so securely hidden that the guilty man can be absolutely safe rom discovery. No eye, save thé mur- derer’s, saw those terrible tragedies: the secret was hidden in the vast s the church. And yet how swiftly, unerringly the net was drawn around the murderer and twelve men without hesitanc {d ““Thou art the man!" The gallows teaches also the truth that the only safety is to resist sin in its beginning. Thé world is startled from time to time by some terrible crime like the Emmanuel Church horror. That full- sized crime did not spring up like Jonah's | fiourd in a night. The seed which bears orrible final fruit on the gallows takes years for its growth and maturity. In its seedling days the sin might have been uprooted, but grown to maturity, in its fall it crushes two lives and builds the gallows from which a soul is hurled into eternity. ““The way of the transgressor is hard"” ig another truth taught by the gallows. This old truth had become blunted. Our voung people had seen the transgressor, whose name in_ California is legion, clothed in broadcloth and faring sumptu- ously. They had heard the rustle of her silks along the streets. They had over- heard the transgressor's bacchanalian orgies, had seen him snap his fingers at also the lesson urely, courts' and go unwhipped of justice. No wonder that our young people began to doubt God's word, and to think that times had changed since Solomon’s day, and that now the way of the transgre: had become ea: hen God rewrote | that old truth between the lines in the countless columns of the dally press, in | the testimony of the witnesses, in the verdict of thé jury, in the wearing, agon- izing suspense, d at last on the walls the death chamber. The way of the transgressor is hard. Truth is eternal. It _does not change. There was not a step of all that hor- rible way from the belfry of Emmanuel Church to the trap of the San Quentin gallows that was easy. The way of all sin is hard. The fionl is retribution. Let us all beware of the sin of self-righteous- ness. The sin that puts a rope around a man’s neck is not the only sin to be feared. God’s thoughts are not as man's | thoughts. | A man may never violate a law of the Dives was | He was not a sinner as men count. There are no crimes laid at his door, For aught we know he was one of Jerusalem’'s Four Hundred. But | he lived a selfish, unloving life. The spirit of sin transfused him and bLecame his life. Thflugh he broke no law the | loving Christ lifts the curtain of eternity | and we sée him among the lost. Sin, not | necessarily murder, but sin, all sn, 1s the | great enemy and soul-destroyer. S such a man, “Christ's Testimony of Himself." BERKELEY, Jan. 9.—Rev. H. C. Minton this morning at the First Pres- byterian Church defended the divinity | of Jesus in a sermon_ on “Christ’s | Testimony Concerning Himself.” The | sermon was in the nature of a reply to the remarks made by Rev. Willlam Geohegan of the Unitarian Church in his Christmas sermon. Dr. Minton de- clared it to be inconceivable how Christ’s statement that he was the | son of God could be doubted or disbe- | lieved. He algo declared that none of | Christ’s miracles were performed to | convince men of the truth of his decla- rations, but were performed only that good might be done to others. Early Sunday Morning Fire. BERKELEY, Jan. 9.—A fire at 3 o'clock this morning destroyed the cot- | tage at Fifth and Jones streets, West | Berkeley, owned by Joseph Doran aud | occupied by B. Burke and family. The building was totally destroyed, the loss | being about $1000, partially covered by insurance. The fire was caused by the | explosion of a coal-oil lamp, and the | smoke became so thick in the house that the occupants were nearly suffo- cated before they were awakened and escaped from the burning building. Berkeley News Notes. BERKELEY, Jan. 9.—A number of | the wives of the university professors and women soclally prominent in Ber- keley are organizing a women’s elub, “The Town and Gown.” The organiza- | tion will include Mrs, Martin Kellogs, Mrs. Joseph Le Conte and many others. The members of the North Berkeley Congregational Church have entirely raised the debt of $400 from their church. —_———— Husband and Wife in Jail.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 9. J. W. Moss, the once wealthy real- estate dealer, is still in the City Prison and his sole object and that of those who are responsible for his being there seem to be to keep out of sight. His case is a remarkable one and without precedent at the City Hall Several weeks ago Moss was missing, and as there was an explanation need- ed regarding his handling of the Paine estate Judge Ogden removed him as | executor. About a month ago Mos: suddenly returned from Honolulu and | gave himself up. It is said that a warrant was out for his arrest. but there is no record of any on the prison docket. Moss has wealthy friends, and it was supposed at the time that every- thing had been squared and that Moss had been released. Much surprise was cxpressed to-day when it became known that he was still in the seclusion of the cells be- neath the City Hall. One of the offi- cers said that the prisoner is not anx- ious to be released and is staying in jail till he recovers. GAMBLERS HELD UP IN A SALOON AT PRESCOTT.

The attendance of members at the Central Christian Church was above the average, but the outsiders were scarce. Rev. Edwards Davis occupied the pulpit, much to the surprise of many of his congregation. He made | the statement to them that was pub- lished in to-day’s Call, in denial of the rumors In circulation affecting his standing. Elder Wishard, chairman of the church officers, and the highest tribunal of the church, stated that the church accepted the defense and would not even hold an investigation of the charges made by the newspapers. The morning services then proceeded with- out any more reference to the affair. Mr. Davis announced to-night that on next Sunday he would speak upon “Capital Punishment,” and at that time he proposes to give a detailed ac- count of hig visit to Durrant, his opin- ions formed from the visit and its re- | sults. He is entirely satisfied with the treatment accorded him by the church. PRAISE GIVE TOTHE CALL, The Lincoln Monument League Thanks It for Its Efforts. President W. W. Stone Compliments the Paper During a Speech at Metropolitan Temple. The Call's efforts in behalf of the erection of the Lincoin Monument at Golden Gate Park called forth the praise of the Lincoln Monument League at the Metropolitan Temple yesterday. The remarks were made during the speech of W. W. Stone, the president of the organization, when he was in- troducing Professor Rohner, the musi- cian, to whom a reception was being given. The gentleman was speaking of the work done by the league, and the en- couragement they had received when he said: “The Lincoln Monument is not yet a vear cld, but it has issued 12,000 certifi- cates of membershfp and inaugurated a Lincoln Day that will be celebrated all over the United States. We find a great deal of apparent apathy on the part of the people, but this is only ap- | parent, the love of Lincoln, his charac- ter and true devotion is universal, and we need only to crystallize the senti- | ment. We have taken means to do this, and on the 14th of February next we shall endeavor to see the fruits of our labors. “I cannot leave this subjeet without expressing the thanks of the league to | The San Francisco Call for its noble ef- forts in seconding our labors. It has responded to our call in a true spirit of patriotism, and we feel that with- out its aid we should not have succeed- ed as we have done.” “The gentlemhn then spoke a few words, presenting Professor Rohner, the guest of the day. After introducing him the musician played several selec- | tions on the organ, which were large- 1y applauded. The soprano solo ren- dered by Miss Neubert and the vocal selections given by the Knickerbocker Quartet were also much appreciated. The San Francisco Military Band rendered “The Jubilee March,” which was composed by Professor Rohner in remembrance of his visit to California, Chicago being his home. The 1 oon;rentlon in America is that of St. Stanislaus Kostka, in Chicago, which has 30,000 communi- cants. The number of attendants at the several Sunday services frequent- 1y exceeds 15,000.

Shot Down by a Prowler in Railroad Yards at Middletown, N. Y. MIDDLETOWN, N.Y,, Jan. 9.—Frank Beckwith, a watchman in the employ of the Ontario and Western railroad, while in the performance of his duties | last night, noticed a man acting sus- piciously in the freight yard. He grasp- ed the man about the arms from be- hind, but he broke loose, and, imme- diately drawing a revolver, shot Beck- with twice through the lungs. Beck- with died tc-day. The murderer was Edward Simpson, a former inmate of the Elmira Reform- atory, out on parole. He had no sooner committed the act than he became pen- itent and told the whole story to the persons who came up to him at the sound of the revolver.

Mr. Morgan, assistant minister of the mission, which was crowded by the arents and friends of the candidates. In “onor of the occasion the preity chapel had been carefully decorated with blaz- ing lights and beautiful flowers and never Eresemed so fine an appearance. The ishop preached from atthew vi:10, “Thy will be done on earth,” and his discourse was particularly calculated to impress the youths with the solemnity and significance of the ceremony in which they were artich‘utlng. instituted by Christ himself and his holy apostles and continued to this day as one o precious of all the gifts left to His church. The bishop's address to the class after they had been confirmed was most impressive. Sevaral of the candi- dates were members of the boy choir. —————e the most ! wIR il | i i ' ifsfl e 'ihmiii' i ‘ I’ii””]“" ” [[ gihfh Jlil;? |!liiil}!
