FIRE DEMOLISHES THREE DWELLINGS | COAL OIL STOVE EXPLODES IN A HAYWARDS HOME. As There Was Hardly Any Water the Firemen Did Good Work Sav- ing the Furniture. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Aug S. The explosion of & coal ofl stove and the lack of water caused a serious fire at Haywards this morning.

AR ADVOCATING A PEACE JUBILEE State Celebration May. Be Held in Oakland. A HINT FROM CHICAGO UNDER CONSIDERATION BY THE BOARD OF TRADE. Vice President Keller Sees Many Rea- | sons Why the Signing of a | Treaty Should Be a Great Occasion. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Aug. 8. The Board of Trade has received a communieation from the National Busi- | ness League of Chicago asking co-opera- tion in the matter of arranging a great national peace jubilee. The programme outlined by the league consists largely of pageantry typlcal of the progress of America from the landing of the Pil- grim Fathers up to the present time. It is proposed by the Chicagoans to keep the celebration up for a whole week. “This project of a great peace jubilee,” said M. J. Keller, vice-president of the Board of Trade, to-d s a good one, but it is absurd to think that Chicago should have the benefit of it all. We want just such a jubilee right here iIn Oakland. The birth of the idea in Chi- cago is typical of that city. It is the first to disseminate nearly everything | that is original and popular and that must of necessity be successful. In thi respect it is far ahead of New York and the older Eastern cities. Now there is no reason why Oakland should not take | the lead in this matter on the coast. This city is altogether too modest, and In such affairs as this is not as lively as Los Angeles. It was proved on the last Fourth of July that we could give a bet- ter celebration than San Francisco, and crowds of people crossed the bay to wit- ness it. As a matter of fact, San Fran- cisco cannot advance a site on which a great demonstration can be held, and as to a parade, let those who have paraded in the big city answer. “The matter is now being considered by the directors of the Board of Trade. By the time peace is assur d and its ar- ticles have been signed by both nations everybody will have returned from tneir summer vacations. and the time will be | ripe for a great jubllee. Tt should be held here, and if the proper steps are taken I have no doubt a truly representative jubilee could be arranged. BRUTAL INDIFFERENCE. A Soldier's Letter Returned to His Parents Marked ‘‘Deceased.” OAKLAND, Aug. S8—Mr. and Mrs. George W. Campbell of East Oakland are of the opinion that the regulations of Government hospitals must be very lax. They have been told in an uncertain way | that their son, who was wounded at San- tiago, is dead, but all their efforts to verify the news has been in vain. Two weeks ago they received the following let- ter: S NEAR SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 18, 1898 Mr. George W. Campbell, Bella Vista Park, East Oakland, Cal—Dear Sir: Your letter of June 16 reached me last night. I am sorry to have to Inform you that your son was wounded 0 severely in the arm during the fight of July 1 that it had to be ampuiated above the elbow. When I last saw him he was cheerful and_seemed to along nice would have been ci stances to have done for_him than was done by the medical officers. I was_informed that he was sent to the States and I hope he arrived there safely and that his recovery has been steady and rapid. Your son Hore himself bravely and courageously in action, and stood the pain of his wound and the loss of his arm manfully and without a murmur. I congratu- late you on having so brave and patriotic son. Yours truly, JAMES B. JACKSON Captain Seventh United States Infantry. A letter which Mr. Campbell mailed to his son on July 21 was returned with the Mr. word ‘Deceased” written o Campbell has sent several te the officials, but cannot get any answer. - ece————— HUTCHINSON’S DENIALS.

OAKLAND, Aug. 8.—Attorney Joseph Hutch- inson of San Francisco filed his answer to- day in the disbarment proceedings brought against him last week. The trouble arises out of the suit of Attorney G.

All Parties Interested in the Action Agree Upon a Compromise and Judgment Is Entered Accordingly. Rl Litigation for a settlement of conflict- ing interests in the co-partnership of Mil- ler & Lux, involving properties valued at $12,000,000, is practically at an end. The action for the settlement of the vast es- tate was brought by Jesse S. Potter, as executor of the last will and testament of Charles Lux, deceased, and as devisee in trust under said will; and Thomas B. Bishop and Azro N.

Frank Ruiz, a candy maker, and Wil- liam Baxter, a deaf mute, were charged in Judge Mogan's court yesterday with disturbing the peace. The services of Sergeant Green were called for to inter- pret for Baxter. The evidence showed that Ruiz had been using Baxter's afiliction for beg- ging purposes. Sunday afternoon Bax- ter went into Jellison’s saloon on Kearny and California streets to beg and he was hustled out of the place. Ruiz, who was waiting outside, rushed in and de- ‘manded to know who had thrown Baxter out. The bartender took him by the shoulder to throw him out, when Baxter ulled a knife out of his pocket, but be- ore he could use it was disarmed. Baxter fingered to Sergeant Green that he had only known Ruiz for a few days, and he was induced by him to beg or money. He was a antive of England and a lithographer by trade. He came to New York about three years ago, after the death of his parents, and arrived here about four weeks ago, but could find no employment. Tgle Judge sentenced Rulz to thirty days in the County Jail, and took until to-day -to consider what he would do with Baxter. —_— e J. E. O'DONNELL BANQUETED.
