This morning the meat was found to contain what appeared to be matter- ated blotches. Colonel Henshaw immedi- ately notified Inspector Pierce and Dr. Dunn, and although Camp Barrett does not come within Oakland's jurisdiction, they procured several forty-pound cuts, which upon microscopical examination were declared to. contaln germs of tuber- culosis. A board of officers was immediately ap- pointed and the whole lot of beef was condemned. During the day the Sam- son’s Market people replaced the con- demned meat by wholesome beef. What adds serfousness to the discovery is that the condemned lot was placarded by the stamp of the United States Gov- ernment inspector. Dr. Dunn stated this | evening that the contractor will be im- mediately prosecuted and that such steps will be taken to-morrow. —_————— DR. SHAR!' GETS OFF. His Second E;paflenée on Charges of Criminal Operation Results in His Release. OAKLAND, 8ept. 2—Dr. C. J. Sharp, who wi charged with belng criminally responsible for the death of Mrs. Paul Nelson, was to-day released in the Police Court; the evidence being decreed insuf- ficient at the preliminary examination. While it appeared from the testimony of the medical experts who saw Mrs. Nelson ghortly before her death, and who per- formed an autopsy after death, that a criminal operation had probably been performed, there was no evidence to con- nect Dr, Sharp with it, outside of tne simple fact that he had attended the woman before she was removed to Fabi- ola Hospital. No ante-mortem statement had been obtalned, and the woman's hus: band clalmed to know nothing about the | aileged operation at all. | This is. the second experlence of Dr. | Sharp. On a previous occasion he was | on a similar charge in connection with | the death of Annie Johnson, but at that | time he was acquitted.

Mrs. Day is about 40 years of age and her daughter Dalisy is 18. They are both suffering from hysteria and excessive re- ligious excitement. For several days they have rapidly grown worse, although their attacks are intermittent. It s thought that the daughter is suffering as much from sympathy with her mother as from actual insanity. When taken to the Re- ceiving Hospital by Rev. Floyd Mynard, rector of the church, they protested against belng kept in a room and made all kinds of pleas not to be separates They then commenced to implore the ma- tron and the warden to accept salvation before it was too late. The ckse is-very pitiful.

YEE CHEATS THE NOOSE One Murderer Less Alameda’s Jail. in SAW NO HOPE FOR HIS LIFE KILLED HIS PARTNER WITH A HATCHEJL. No One Knows How Enough Opium Could Have Been Carried Past the Sheriff’s Dsputies. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 2. There is one murderer less in the Coun- ty Jail. Chung Yee, realizing that there was little hope of escaping the gallows, took poison last night and died this morn- ing. Nearly three months ago Yee chopped his partner, Chung Sing, with an ax at Pleasanton, inflicfing fatal wounds. Yee has been at the County Jail over two months awaiting trial and daily’ growing more despondent. A few days ago Quong Mow, the Chinese who shot a man while stealing his corn at Temescal two weeks ago, was placed in the cell with Chung Yee. The Pleasanton murderer, upon learning that Mow, whose chances of dis- charge are said to be fairly good, came to the conclusion that there was no chance for him and he determined to dle. A few days ago Yee confided to his cell- mate that his father and mother and wife and other relatives were all dead in China and he might as well die too. Last night he bought some milk, with which he made coffee. Quong Mow expressed a desire to share Yee's drink, but the latter per- emptorily stopped him, telling him it was much too sweet for his taste. Mow paid no attention to the incident at the time, but this morning he says he has no doubt that Yee had placed the poison in the coffee, which caused him to sleep away his life. Dr. Porter was called to Yee early this morning, but the Chinese was then close to death. All the usual remedies failed to keep him alive. The question interest- ing the jailers is how enough poison, os- tensibly opium or morphine, could get into the fail to cause death. Yee has not had a visitor for three weeks, although his cellmate has all his meals brought to Dr. Porter is of the opin- jon that with the usual fatalistic idea Yee had the poison secreted somewhere about his person or his clothing, and that he in- tended to use it in case he was convicted of murder. CITY TREASURY SAID TO HAVE BEEN ROBBED CRANE COMPANY’S WARRANTIS PAID TO AN UNKNOWN. Six Hundred Dollars Obtained by a Slick Piece of Work. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Sept. 2. Six hundred dollars has been paid out of the city treasury and the Crane Com- pany is seeking the embezzler who drew the money on its account. A bill for $600 was allowed by the Board of Works some tlme ago, in favor of the Crane Company, for material furnished the Fire Department. Waen the bill was passed the money was not on hand and the war- rant was registered on February 18. On the 4th of March a man named Wilson, claiming to be the authorized agent of the company, collected the money. A few days ago the Crane Company, through its local agent, G. H. Jeffress, made inquiries concerning the blll and found that it had been couected. No one named Wilson is employed by the company and his identity is a mystery that is just now Interesting the Crane Company and the police. —e——————— HUNTING A DEAD MAN. Queer Predicament in a Suit to Quiet Title to Property in Brooklyn Township. OAKLAND, Sept. 2.—The obscure death of Peter Stone has caused two lawyers a peck of trouble, and has placed Herbert F. Patterson in the queer predicament of trying to serve a summons on a man who has been dead for the past three years. It appears that about five years ago Peter Stone contracted to buy from Mrs. Margaret A, Daly a piece of real estate in Brooklyn Township. Years rolled by | and payments ceased, so Mrs. Daly en- gaged Attorney ‘Peri E. Allen of San Francisco to quiet title. The papers were flled in May, 1897, but Stone could no- where be found. Then Mrs. Daly changed attorneys, retaining Frank P. Taylor of this city, thinking the matter had becen neglected. It then devolved on Patterson to locate Stone. He traced his man’s movements during the past ten years and finally learned that he had been storplnz at Mrs. Sands’, in Lorin, but had left there, gone to the County Infirmary and died nearly three years ago and was buried in th potter's fleld. \ It was found also that Stone had left certain papers with Mrs. Sands, among these the contract and a search of title. She lald them by in the hope that she might some day benefit therebg;. Now she will relinquish her hold on these papers and Mrs. (i“)aly's title will be purged o clouds. —_———————— WATER BILL INQUIRY. Novel Test for Investigating the Leakage at Oakland City Hall OAKLAND, Sept. 2.—For several weeks Mayor Thomas and City Engineer Clem- ent have been digging about the City Hall grounds in their efforts to reach a solution of the cause for the big water bills at the City Hall park. They have been unable to locate any leak, and it is concluded now that the meter does not register correctly—the amount of water f!or the month reaching a fabulous guan- tity. It is proposed now to shut off the wa- ter supply to the City Hall and park en- tirely for a short time, and then, press- ing one of the citys sprinkling carts into service, they will measure the amount of water passing through the meter by having it run into the cart, the capacity o. the latter being known. Oakland formerly paid $18 per month for water furnished the City Hall and park, but when the energetic little meter ‘was put in the bills suddenly jumped to over $100 per month. —_——— TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.

Finished Of McCormick in Five Rounds Before the Reliance Club. OAKLAND, Sept. 2—Phil Green, the soldier boy, finished off Mike McCormick in five rounds at the Réliance Club to- night. The match was far from being one-sided, and once or twice McCormick seemed to have Green going, but the sol- dier quickly xecovered. In the fifth round Green landed a hard punch on the chin, and although McCormick was show- ing some desire to rise before being counted out, bis seconds threw up the sponge. Gus Koster and Patsy Corrigan met in the ring, but they soon parted company. Corrigan rushed at the start and lifted Koster off his feet. Koster anpealed to the referee as he was rushed against the ropes and Corrigan drew back, ready for another rush. Koster crawled under the ropes and refused to fight, thus giving Corrigan the decision. There were several good preliminaries, and there was a large attendance of the boys from Camp Barrett.

ALAMEDA, Sept. 2—The Encinal Rec- reation Club’s series of six billiard matches came to an end last evening. E. A. Mudgett won the first prize, an CONTRACTS OUT FOR PAGO-PAGO “HAVAL STATION Commander Tanner Has Invited Bids. EIGHT BIG FIRMS CHOSEN TENDERS MUST BE IN BY THE S8TH OF SEPTEMBER. Outsiders Will Not Get a Chance to Bid for the Work—Two Cali- fornia Companies Asked to send in Estimates. Commander Z. L. Tanner. who fis charged with the task of arranging for the ercction of a coaling station at Pago- Pago harbor, 18 very much easier in his mind than he was a week or 80 ago. “It was stated,” he says, “that $250,000 was to be spent on this work, and in con- sequence I was beseiged with would-be contractors, all anxious to secure a share of the spoil. As a matter of fact the sum to be expended will not nearly reach this amount. “'No,” continued the commander, “I am not going to say what the cost of the work will be. That would not be fair to the firms which are to tender, and, above all things, I wish to be fair. I have sent out all the plans and speclfications I had, elght In number, to different firms, and invited bids for the work. Of course I had not enough é)npers to go around, but I have selected only reputable firms, which have all the appliances for carry- ing out the work.” Commander Tanner will not specify the firms to which he has given the valuable opportunity of bidding for this remunera- tive contract, but he admitted that seve- ral companies on this coast had been in- cluded, so that California will have a falr chance to compete. The tenders, as ..as already been stated, call for the construc- tion of a substantial wharf, with steel piling, and coalln%!heda ashore. In addl- tion there is to be a large four-roomed cottage for the caretaker, consisting mainly, as I8 customary in Samoa, of a wide verandah encircling the whole house. “This talk about fortifying Pago-Pago.” remarked thé commander, “is nonsense. All the garrison we Intend to have is the caretaker, who will see that nothing is stolen from the station. The prestige of the United States Is the best fortification the place can have: no nation would dream of attacking the station unless war had just been declared against this country. And, if war existed, then the Immutable law of sea power would come into force, and Pago-Pago would only be of use to us as long as we had control of the sea.” It will be some time before anything can be done in this matter. - At least a month must elapse before the bids of the contractors. can be received and adjudi- cated upon, The work of preparing the material must commence within ten days after the acceptance of the con- tract, and even then it will be three or or four months before everylhlni. is ready for shipment to this far-away isle. At least a year will be needed for the completion of the station. Lieutenant Chambers of the civil en- gineering department of the navy, s to supervise the construction of the work. He will remain in this country, inspect- ing the process of manufacture, until the materfal is ready for shipment. Then he will go to Pago-Pago with two as. sistants and supervise the construction of the wharf and sheds. In addition he will be charfed with the task of making a complete topographical survey of the United States’ land in this harbor, a work which has hitherto never been per- formed. He will also provide for a wa- ter supply by tapping one of the moun- tain creeks above the station, and piping for this purpose s to be taken with the expedition. At least two local firms have been in- vited to send in bids for this work. A. ‘W. Burrell of the California Bridge and Construction Company admits that Com- mander Tanner has forwarded him a set of plans and specifications and asked for an offer. ‘‘The plans” he said, “have been intrusted to us under a strict prom- ise of secrecy, therefore I am not at lUb- erty to disclose any details of the work. Our engineer is now busy preparinz the estimates, and we, will have our tender in before the spedified date, the 8th _of this month. I cannot of the cost at presen! : At the office of the San Franclsco FBridge Campany there is the same shicld of secrecy. The managers state that they have been asked to put in a bid. “We are working it out,”” ‘said one offi- efal, “and shall certainly tender. he contract should be of great benefit to the Pacific Coast, since most of the ma- terfal will have to be manufactured here, &nd all the skilled labor required in {he construction of the wharf will be en- aged ip this city. A year's time is al- fowed for the completion of the coal- ing station, so that the men employed will have quite a long period of profit- able occupation.” e —— Pacific’s Anniversary.
