BERKELEY, March 18.—Freshman Track Captain Roy Woolsey has revolted against University Track Captain Everett Brown, and another athletic squabble is threatened at the University of Califor- nia. Woolsey claims that Brown acted unfairly in the freshman-sophomore field day last Saturday by starting the men in the half mile run before all the contest- ants were ready, and, In consequence, the freshman sprinter refuses to train with the Varsity squad under Captain Brown. Several other freshman athletes have sided with Woolsey, and they intend to train by themselves. Brown explains that he insisted on promptness in starting the fleld day events in order to get through in time for the baseball game between the Varsity nine and the Santa Clara team. Editor Hopper of the Occident has come to Brown's defense, and severely scores the discontented freshmen for their ac- tion. s in to-day’s Issuc of the ptain was endeavoring to day within a reasonable run off the and all spectators who like not between events are ul to him for his efforts.

The announcement to-day of the en-| gagement of Joseph Clement to Miss | Oakland | Weber, both of wnom are now in South Afirca. marks the termination of a very interesting romance that is of preat inter- | est in this city, where the young couple | have resided nearly all their lives. | About four years ago great surprise was i expressed when Joe Clement disappeared. He told none of his family where he was going or that he was going at all, and for | lort time it was feared he had met | with foul play. He was one of the most | popular young men in town, and his pros- | pects were good, as his family is quite wealth, s a brother of Alfred Clem- known figure in San | ent, Francisco societ Not long after his disappearance it was | scovered that for some unaccountable reason young Clement had decided to g0 out into the world and carve out his own | fortune. He shipped before the mas. and roughed it on a vovage to England around the Horn. An attempt was made to head him off in_England and induce him to return to Oakland, but he re- refused to reconsider and went to South Africa, where he had an uncle, Mr. Wil- liams.

General Houghton’s Gardener Is the Innocent Cause of It All. Shocks the Fastidious in His Efforts to Save the Family Flowers. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, March 18. | An honest gardener, more faithful to his trust than erudite, is at present con: vulsing Lakeside society at the expense, partly, of General Houghton. The general | lives at Thirteenth and Jackson streets, | in the very heart of Oakland's blue-book | patrons and where everything s so de- | cldedly classic that a Bohemian cannot live there. An Invitation to a violet—or any other colored—tea, coming from the | ultra-classic neighborhood of Thirteenth | and Jackson streets, on a card that was not exactly the correct size, would fur- | nish gossip for a week. It was from this | neighborhood whence came the young | ladies whose cause Mrs. Requa cham- pioned two years ago when uncouth | erkeley students essayed to dance at the | Deux Temps with boots not made of | patent leather, thereby sofling the hems | or the lowest tier of frills on the young | buds' ball dresses. In ‘this nelghbornood also lives Senator Stratton, who once used several columns of a paper to prove that he paid for the coat in which he | was married, and that he did not borrow it from Attorney McPike. In fact none but the haut ton dwell in the Lakeside District, and it now feels when Mr. “‘Swift- water” Gates purchased the Henshaw | mansion and announced his intention of settling with his wife and his coin and of introducing both to Oakland society. In this very select neighborhood for over a week has appeared a home-made sign that is the work of General Hough- ton's gardener, and which would be spoiled by translation into English. It occuples considerable space on a board and contains this classic.

This morning the gardener was so grati- al days the sign has was shown in his sign that he decided to add to the joke on the Houghton family— | unconsciously, of course. He nailed up | another notice, and this i{s what it says Ples Do not Kom end Here To Pek enny flors for dos Ear not Aloud The notices are still up and society is still amused and shocked. But for the fact that Charlle Slamberg, lost his head in the sixth | round and stopped the fight, the contest would have ended satisfactorily to all | concerned. It did go on for another | round, but only to be stopped by the | Chiet of Police. The referee gave the de- | cision to Agnew. | The men started to fight from tne sound of the gong, and for the first three rounds honors were easy, although urif- fith showed the most eftéct of his work. In the fourth round Agnew did pretty much as he pleaseu, and reaily won the fight. Three times in succession ne land- ed heavy swings on the jaw, and as the bell rang Griftith was standing in the ring dazed, and his seconds had to help him to his corner. Both men were tired in the fifth round, and, while Agnew did the hitting, his blows lacked force, and some of them were smartly returned. Toward the end of the sixth round the referee_ordered the fight to stop, be- cause Griffith was waiking around and not fighting. This decision was not justi- fied by the men’s actions, for they had not been walking half a mipute and were clearly trying to get a little wind. The decision was repudiated by the audience | and the fight went on. A minute later Agnew had Griffith on the floor and Slamberg began to count. He made the great mistake of only counting ‘nine | and out” instead of ten. As he said “out” Griffith was on bis feet and each man went to his corner. There was another | appeal and the men came together again. | ‘Agnew was putting on the finishing | touches when Chief Lloyd stopped the contest.

Many of these are in the bright tints of the Monet school, now much in vogue {n French art.

The | 1500 spectators who crowded the hall | were unanimous in declaring at the end i of the entertainment that it was one of | the best they have ever attended.

Kowalsky, $300, and to Isaac Kowalsky $2000 out of his | mortgage on the B estate. The balance of the estate is given to his children H. 1., E. H., J. N. and Isaac, share and share alike. H. I.

In addition to the mortgage there is also some money in a San Francisco bank. ELMHURST WATER RATES. The Increase May Lead to a Munici- pal Plant or Incorporation. OAKLAND, March 18.—Elmhurst is now | agitated over the water rate question. The prices that have prevailed for the | past years is being increased from 100 to 300 per cent and the residents are won- dering what it all means. The Elmhurst Improvement Club has petitioned the Alameda Water Company to extend its mains to Elmhurst, If they will furnish water at a more reasonable | rate. Others are in favor of installing nnplant at a cost of $5000 or $10,000, and induce residents to agree to take water for a stated term at a given rate. It is sald that $3000 is already in sight for such a move, and there are several wealthy residents who claim that they will subscribe $1000 each if the scheme is carried out. The incorporators are using the raise in rates as a lever in favor of incorporation. They claim that in that event the Trus- tees could fix the rate, over which the company could not charge. Electrical Meter Missing. OAKLAND, March 18—T. Wolfe, for- merly electri¢ian for the Alameda Street Railway, was lodged in the County Jail to-day in default of $2000 bail. He was arrested at La Grange, Stanislaus Coun- ty, by Constable uray, on a charge af making away with an’ electrical meter, which has not been found since his de- parture from the road.

Not Anxious to Go Into Detalls Till He Has Consulted an Attorney. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, March 18. Joseph H. Moffett, who murdered his wife and shot himself, may not die. He is still in a critical condition at the Re- ceiving Hospital. He cannot talk, as the shot passed through his tongue and the roof of his mouth, but to-day he answered several questions in writing. His story substantiates the facts as printed this mbrning, but stated that his wife commenced the attack on him when he went into the yard at the rear of the house yesterday morning. “My “wife commenced the row,” sald Moffett. ‘“She came out and struck ine with a club. Two minutes before the shooting I had no intention of harming any one. The night before, after coming from the lodge, my wife tried to beat me with her fists and I held her off, until I became exhausted. 1 was afrald she would kill me, but I do not want to talk about her. She is not doing any talking. “She threatened me first because 1 made Davis leave the house, and secondly on general principles.” Moffett said he would not talk any m.ore till he had seen an attorney.. An officer of the Modern Trojans gave out_the following statement to-day “Joseph H. Moffett, who killed his wife on 'the morning of the 17th, was not, as has_been stated, a member of the Order of Modern Trojans, and . avis, whose name has been mentioned in con- nection with the sad affair, was not a member of the organization. Mrs. Moffett, who had been a member of Athens Lodge for a number of months, had always con- ducted herself In every way ladylike, and with perfect decorum,” the announced hour, and once it was started there were no unnecessary de- lays. The exhibition opened with three friendly three-round bouts between | Jimmy and Billy Lawler, Ed Henessy | and Billy Bishop, Dick O'Meara of the Olympic Club and A. McCarthy of the | Jefferson Athletic Club. Dan Kemp followed in the Mobile buck dance, while M. S. Meyers and Ed Staley of the Western Addition Athletic Club | were preparing for a four-round go. At/ the end of the first round Staley slipped | and so badiy injured his left leg that he had to be assisted out of the ring. | James and Ed McCormick of the Jef-| ferson Club sparred three rounds, and | were followed by R. B. Cornell and E. Dahl of the Western Addition Club. Then came a four round bout for a decision between H. B. Hilton and William Cook. Towards the end of the fourth round Hilton was so badly dazed that another blow would have put him out. W. H. Forrest, who acted as ref- eree, stopped the contest and gave Cook, who was fully twenty pounds | lighter than his adversary, the decision. A four round bout between Andrew Buzziri and J. Jeske was declared a draw by F. Berzott, who acted as ref- eree. The decision brought forth a storm of hisses, many belleving that Jeske should have been given the de- cision. The event of the evening was an eight round contest for a trophy, be- tween James Riley of the Excelsior Club, and Charles Conway of the Jef- ferson Club. It was a spirited contest from the beginning. Conway started Riley’s nose and mouth bleeding in the second round and thereafter took delight in landing his left continually on the sore spot. Riley, although half choked by the blood that ran down his throat, fought gamely and at the end of the eighth round looked strong enough to go eight rounds more. Billy Kenealy, who acted as referee, decided the contest a draw. Joseph Hansen and Kelly and Mar- lowe contributed several. songs that ‘were well received. The officers of the club are: Presi- dent, J. J. Silvey; vice president, W. T Burke; financial secretary, John Mec- Gui recording secretary, J. H. Kelly; captain, A. Maghus: sergeant at arms, John McCormack; directors, T. Wilson. J. F. Brennan, T. Riordan, H. B Hil- ton, A. L. Eisner, H. 1. Mulcreavy. Riley complained of considerable pain in his left forearm after leaving the ring and acting on the advice of his | counting machine, exhibited by the friends, went to the Recelving Hospi- tal, where it was found that he had broken -cne of the small bones. —_—————— Charged With Grand Larceny.

IROQUOIS CLUB. Practical Demonstration of the Work= ings of a Voting Machine. The most engrossing feature of the | meeting of the Iroquois Club last night was the inspection of and practical work- ing of a voting machine and an automatic in- ventor. It was claimed that it would be impos- sible for the voter to vote for the same candidate twice with this machine, or for two candidates for the same office, with- out detection, and that it preserves the secrecy of the ballot and materially re- duces election expenses.
