Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | %08 Broadway, April 24. Rev. R. F. Coyle of the First Presby- terian Church spoke to-night on “Peace, | nd Righteousness,” taking for his he work of righteousness shall be and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.” After referring to our moving army and navy and the spirit of war that pervades every one he said: N¢ all this is worth thinking about in con- nection with our present difficulty with Spain. It may paralyze trade, it may cost a vast deal of treasure, and the life of many a gal- lant soldier and carry sorrow and heartache nto many a home. It may mean destruction on sea and devastation on land, and produce consequences that will be felt around the world. Now that the start has been made no one 18 wise enough to tell where it will end.

After forty-five years of a contest, the whole matter seems as intricate as ever, and is far from a solu- In the meantime, Oaklanders are forever asking why their city does not grow faster. Who ever heard of a city with a magnificent water front expecting to grow normally until its harbor is de- veloped? Considering the opposition to Oakland’'s progress since the town incor- ated in 1852, its development, remem- Fering its nearness to San Francisco, has been markable, The city of to-day, however, Is but a sample of what it would have been had this great question been settled twe ars ago. If the popula- tion on this side of the bay is to increase (as some believe) until it exceeds that of an Francisco, it will only be done by the establishment of manufactories. Such can only be built on the water and will never be built until the in- s can be guaranteed immunity from | their title. | s little argument is enough to skeptic of what is the para- of Oakland. 1ty The ‘School Board has a pleasant task on its hands. It has $15,000 to spare and to spend, and it is almost at a loss how to get rid of it. Some time ago the School Joard acquired $15,000 for the purpose of purchasing a lot and removing the Tomp- kins School to a more northern locality. The City Council, after hearing argument, decided not to permit the removal of the | school; consequently there is a nice little | sum lying idle. Several propositions have | already been advanc d as to how to spend | the money. but it would seem to any one elde that the question has been already answered. When Superintendent McClymonds appeared before the board ) advocate the removal of the Tompkins hool he ated that it is absolutely 1 t t 1 8 T ~cessary to have more school accommo- ns somewhere in the neighborhood of tro and Tenth streets. Mr. Brosnahan plied that for less than $15,000 a small hool that would relieve the pressure in t district could easlly be bullt, and parently this is the logical use to which e money should be put.

FATAL FALL OF A TOUNG GIRL Ellen Smith Picked Up Dying in a Back | Yard. |No One Saw the Accident, but a Neighbor Heard the Fall. | Only a Month Ago the Mother Was Claimed by Death at San Hafa=1. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 24. Ellen Smith, a young miss of 14 sum- mers, fell down a back stairs this morn- ing at 1668 Williams street and died in twenty-five minutes. No one saw the accident, but Mrs. Dris- coll, the next-door neighbor, heard the child striae the ground and was the first one to reach her. She was unconsclous | and never recovered sufficiently to speak. The Smiths only recently came to this city from San Rafael, where the wife and mother was burfed about a month ago. The ta&her ‘was left with the daugh- ter and a 10-year-old son. Mr. Smith was occupled in placing some carpet in the house when Mrs. Driscoll notified him of the terrible accident. The child_was carried into the basement and Dr. J. Maher summoned. He reached the sufferer about fifteen minutes after the accident and found that circulation had stopped. She was removed to the house and placed in bed. Restoratives and stimulants were ad- ministered, but without avail. The child opened her eyes once and tried to speak, but made no sound. In ten minutes after the doctor arrived she was dead. Dr. Maher made an examination, but a mark on the nose was the only sign of the ac- cident. He pronounced her death due to the faillure of her heart to withstand the shock. He said internal injuries might be found upon & post-mortem examination. The Coroner will hold an inquest. AT THE RIFLE RANGE. Match Between Companies G and F of the Fifth Regiment. ALAMEDA, April 24.—The fourth match between fifteen men of Company G of this city and Company F of Oakland, both of the Fifth Regiment, was held at the High- street rifle range this morning and was won by the team from Company F. The three previous matches were won by Company G's team. The scores were as follows: Company F—Wenk 39, Leonard 34, Sears 42, Nickerson 9, Parsons 39, Darling 35, Dade 39, Blakeney 33, Bennett 87, Preston 40, Swanson 84, Hanson 30, Petersen 3, Covalt 43, Cobbledick 41—531.

BERKELEY, April 24.—President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University de- livered an address this evening at Stiles Fall to a luga-lnrtlo l?;)recl&!lve audl- ence on ““The Quest for Unearned Happi- ness.” He decried the strong tenda‘;%y to make the building up of manhood sub- servient to the pursuit of riches and power, The lecture was the concluding one of u serles of five Sunday evening lectures by members of the Berkeley and Stanford faculties, given under the aus. pices of the Berkeley Unitarian Society. | THE POLICE IN CHURCH Rev. Mr. Davis Creates a Lively Scene in Church. Attempts to Interrupt the Pastor, but Is Soon Quieted. The Sight of a Police Sergeant Causes Mrs. Davis to Go Into a Swoon. OAKLAND, April 24—Sergeant Peter- son of the police department was called upon during the opening exercises of the Central Christian Church to-night to put out the Rev. Edwards Davis, the former pastor, for raising a disturbance. Mrs. Davis fainted and a genuine sensation followed. As soon as his wife recovered sufficiently, Mr. Davis, his father, moth- er, wife and a half-dozen of his support- ers withdrew. The Christian Church has arranged for a trial of the charges of the retired pas- tor by representatives of the First Church in this city, two churches in San Fran- cisco and the Alameda and Berkeley churches. The meetings are to begin to- morrow night, and would have been kept quiet but for Mr. Davis' actions. Tkhis evening early he demanded of Mr. Saw- ver that a public announcement should be made from the pulpit before the church officers. If it were not, he de- clared that he would make it himself. Mr. Sawyer said he would do nothing of the kind, that he was paid to run the meeting and it would be run without In- terruption, and if Mr. Davis attempted to speak he would have him put out. Mr. Davis replied that there should be six good strong men to do the ejecting. Just before the service Mr. Sawyer | asked his deacons whether he shouid | make the announcement of the coming trial, They agreed that he should, stat- ing that Mr. Davis had asked thaf it be announced. When the regular announce- ments were made this was included as a request from Mr. Davis. The song was jven out, and as_the pastor sat down | r. Davis arose and attempted to that he had asked for a trial. Mr. Saw- ver insisted that he should not be heard, but Mr. Davis tried to talk at the same time. Sergeant Peterfon, who sat in the audience as a precaution against trouble, | stepped forward at this exciting time and | introduced himself. Mrs. Davis fainted, | and the evangelist saw that he was out- witted. He turned his attention to his wife, instead of the pastor, and with help soon had her out of the hall. When seen on the street, just as he came from the meeting, Mr. Davis said: “I never saw anything so outrageous in | When 1 attempted to defend m self they called in an officer. Of course, I | could do nothing, for I was disturbing a religious service, and he would have taken me out if I had kept on. A wee ago I returned to Oakland _after two months' evangelistic engagement to de- mand specific statement of the ambiguous charges t ugh the mouthplece of Mr. Sawyer. The week passed, and Saturday night I received word from said par: that an investigation might be had. The officers were not consulted in the matter until later. But meanwhile the preacher- | detective had arranged with an enemy to select my judges. “This morning I received a letter from a ,ady member, asking me to take no action to-day as the investigation should be averted, while she at the same time was visiting the parties to be invited. I ‘would not i the ?raeter of my own holy mother the hiands of somé she had selected. I hereby publicly state that I am willing t6 stand examination before the elders of the' Central Christian Church, and to abide the action of the congregation if public announcement is made with that in view, but I am not go- ing to be Investigated by a committee ap- | pointed by a set of enemies, and be judged by a general assembly to which Mr. Sawyver has sent out the investiga- tions. So many of the members of the church have become disgusted with the | star-chamber council, that I would not be surprised to have it proved that I had horns and hoofs. The elders of the church have not been present for weeks, Deacons Maglill, Griffith, Tate and Mec- Arthur have all resigned. I will not fight with a fragment. It may Investigate. But it will not investigate me until such a committee shall be arranged by the church and its officers in a proper way."” The investigation will commence Mon- day night behind closed doors. ON THE ESTUARY. Opening Day of the Alameda Loat- ing Club—Some Interesting Events. ALAMEDA, April 24.—To-day was the opening day of the season of the Ala- meda Boating Club. The principal event was the launching of the new barge of the club. It was christened the Ethel Maas, and the young lady after whom it was named performed the appropriate ceremony. There were four outrigger skiff races over the regular club course of one and one-half_miles as follows: J. W. Brown and C. H. Knowles, won by Brown in 14:58, beating his opponent by 11 minutes. H.'W. Lubbock and E. M. Hunter came next, Hunter winning in 14 minutes. A. Webb and John Lewis then tried con- clusions, the latter winning in 12;30. The first three were between members of the junior class. Then followed a match between J. C. Stamer and C. G. Ayres of the senior class, which was won by Ayres in 13:07. At the conclusion of the events a barge race between the junior and senior crews was won by the junior crew in 12 min- utes, after a very exciting contest. ——— Berkeley News Notes.
