Gustave Stlegler, a baker, residing at Elmhurst, was struck by a Haywards electric trolley car at Fitchburg about noon to-day, sustalning injuries that | proved fatal. ‘ Stiegler was driving in a covered wagon and had been around serving his custom- ers at Fitchburg. He was driving by the Fitchburg school house as car 13 came in view. The motorman saw the danger when the wagon was crossing the track and reversed his power, but, owing to the | light rains, the track was slippery and the car could not be brought to an im- | mediate standstlil. Stiegler also made an attempt to check his horse, but without avail. The car struck the wagon squarely in the center and smashed it into fragments, while the driver was thrown off the wagon and ht under the fender. His chest was in, and several bones were He also sustained other injuries n. about the abdomen and head.

MAYOR THOMAS CONDEMNS THE §121 TAX LEVY Strongly Opposes the Council’s Plans. ABLE PLEA FOR MORE FUNDS GLOOMY PROSPECT FOR THE GROWING CITY. High Schools and Libraries Would Have to Be Closed and Fire De- partment and Streets Neglected. \ OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—The meeting called by the Mayor to-night to decide the tax levy was entirely unproductive, as the very men whom his Honor wished to meet absented themselves. There were present Messrs. Girard, Rowe, Cuvellier, Woodward and Pringle. Councilman Up- ton is opposed to the proposed ordinance, but is sick and Woodward is in favor of it. Woodward is once more—as in the water rate cases—the pivotal man, and his vote is the middle one of the thir- teen. Mayor Thomas had prepared an analysis of the proposed ordinance, which is In effect in the nature of a vote. It is as follows: The tax levy ordinance passed by your hon- orable body on October 3 is now in my hands. By the terms of said ordinance you have fixed the tax rate at 3121 upon the taxable prop- erty of our city. After carefully considering the matter I continced in a number of cases the apportionment of funds as made in said ordinance will not provide amounts suffl- clent to carry on the various departments of the city government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, and I beg leave to call your at- tention 'to the following facts and figures as I find them I present herewith a statement showing the actual cost of maintenance only of the various departments for the last fiscal year after eliminating therefrom all items unnecessary to duolicate this year. These amount to 385,655, and provide for not $1 of betterments. The $1 21 ordinance will provide $50,560, and to this may be added the $14,000 to be derived from other sources which wiil provide a total of $94,560, or 39305 more than was required for the above offices last year; but this amount will not be sufficlent to meet the additional expense for elections, which the Auditor esti- mates will cost $3500, and the increased cost of advertising, which the Auditor estimates at 6500 < g 500. This ordinance therefore fails to provide for the expenses which have to be met from the general and extent of $5000. What of or will it reduce, to meet this deflciency of $60007 After showing that there will be a de- ficit’ of $9008 in the street lighting fund, $3000 in the Fire Department without al- lowing a dollar for the large annexed ter- ritory, $6000 in the police fund and $3750 in the street fund, the message proceeds: This calculation will depend wholly upon what is done with the East and West Side sewers. Two cents will provide for what is called the Cemetery Creek connection with the main lake sewer. One cent will provide for the sewer repairs estimated in the city. An additional cent will, in my judgment, con- struct a temporary sewer, and by that I mean a wooden box sewer, which shall take up the sewage now funning into the lake on_the East Side and convey it to the estuary. This temporary sewer wiil, in my opinion, answer that purpose until the city of Oakland shall bond itself to construct a complete sewer sys- tem under plans already submitted, or that may be submitted, and I suggest.that there might be a saving of 4 cents or more in the amount fixed by the ordinance passed. The grammar and primary schools cost last year for maintenance only $246,782. Betterments have already been made this year amounting to $2000. The $121 ordinance provides 312,716, 51000 less than the amount required for bare maintenance. The free library cost last year for maintenance alone, without any new books, $15,229. 1 belleve this to be the most econom: ical department in the city. The 31 21 ordinance will provide $3476, a little more than one-half the amount required. think it would be a public calamity should the free library and public reading rooms be compelled to close for the want of funds. Shall they be closed? The High School cost last year for main- tenance only $46,234. The 3121 ordinance will provide $25,430. This is $20,264 short of the cost of maintenance only last year. The teachers have been hired, and I am informed that the courts have degided that teachers' salarles must be paid {rom any moneys in the treasury regardless of its distribution to funds. I am convinced that additional money must be pro- vided for this department or the Board of Edu- cation will be compeiled to close the school in February. The ordinance provides for main- tenance this year of §5 cents, as against 95 cents last year, with a shrinkage of $70,000 on account of lower valuation by the Assessor. While I am strongly in favor of as low a tax levy as is consistent with an economical man- agement of the various departments, I am strongly opvosed to such a distribution and apportionment of the funds raised that the High School, free library and reading rooms, Fire and Street Departments shall be 0 hamp. ered that the two former shall have to be closed for a portion of the year, that street sprinkling_and repairs would necessarily be stopped which would resuft In_ great damage to our streets, and that our efficlent Fire De- partment should be compelled in any way to take a step backward when it should be in- creased and some protection given to the large Qistrict lately annexed. And I sincerely hope that the Councll will take such steps as may be necessary to amply provide for the proper maintenance of every department in our city government. Woodward was the only one present who did not admit the feasibility of the Mayor's position, and he was not. posi- tive In his views. The ordinance con- demned by the Mayor provides $80,000 for dredging the lake and $38,500 for sewers. —————— Attorney Cohen Gives Bonds. ALAMEDA, Oct. 7.—Several days ago a warrant was issued for the arrest of At- torney A, H. Cohen on a charge of having L lielously assaulted I, L. Borden, caus. ing him to break his leg. The warrant was not_served for some reason, but yes- terday Cohen appeared in Justice Morris’ court, having learned of the warrant through the press, and gave a bond for his appearance whenever the case should be set for examination. DENVER CLAIRVOYANT KILLED BY A STRANGLER DENVER, Colo., Oct. 7.—Mrs. Julia Voght, a clairvoyant and medium, was found dead in her apartments on Cham- pa street to-day. She lay on the floor, face downward. A twisted towel was tied tightly around her neck, and there is no doubt that she had been strangled. There is no clew to the murderer, but the police believe that the deed was com- mitted by the same strangier who mur- dered three women on Market street in this city in 1894, Shortly after those murders Mrs. Voght informed the police officials that spirits had given her, whila she was in a trance, a description of the strangler, but he has never been dis- covered. Tt is thought that the murderer of Mrs. Voght either believed that she Aid know something, or he was a bellever in “spirits,” and decided to put her out of the way, and, possibly save himself from exposure. Mrs, Voght had a brother and a sister, Andrew and Amanda J. Wright, living at 2021 North Broadway, St. Loufs. Her husband is serving a term in the peni- tentiary for having stolen bicycles. - Death of A. Oakey Hall. NEW YORK, Oct. T.—Ex-Mayor A.

TOOK THE MAYOR'S VALISE A CRUEL FATHER WANTS HIS LITTLE CHILD. Sequel to a Shooting Affair That Caused Much Scandal in This City Several Years Ago. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 7. Dominguez Zazueta, who disappeared from Oakland some years ago at the | same time that the wife of a prominent contractor also deserted her home, has been heard from. He is now a prosper- ous cigar manufacturer in Philadelphia. He has written to the firm of Benham & Thomas, asking what became of the wife and child he deserted in Oakland when he ran off with Mrs. Antonelli. Some years ago Dominguez Zazueta lived in this ..y with his wife and child. He frequently did business for the firm of which Mayor Thomas was then a member. He became greatly in- fatuateu with the wife of Contractor Antonelli and one evening Mr. Antonelli took a shot through his back window at a fleeing form which he declared was that of 'Zazueta, “The next day after the shooting,” said the Mayor this afternoon, “I re- ceived a visit from Zazueta, who teld me he had a splendid trade in view in Tulare. He assured us there was a big commission in it and as he had fre- quently done business for us we ad- vanced him his expenses for the trip. He also borrowed my leather gripsack and started for Tulare. A few days passed and he did not return, but one evening 1 was surprised when Mr. An- tonelli called at my house. He was very excited and was crying. He asked me where Zazueta was and I told him that I expected him back any day. I then asked him what was the matter with him and he told me that Zazueta had undoubtediy taken Mrs. Antonelli with him. “I wrote to Tulare and was surprised to learn that Zazueta had never been there, and from that time we heard nothing more of him. He deserted a lovely little wife and child, who lived on Telegraph avenue, and after awhile Mrs. Zazueta went back to her parents in the interior of the State. “About two years ago Mrs. Zazueta called on me and surprised me by say- ing that she was the wife of the captain of a south sea trading vessel and that their home was on the Island of Rara- [tonga, in the heart of the Pacific. She | told me she was very happy and that she would like to know if I had heard anything more of her former husband. I had heard nothing of him and so in- formed her. But she impressed me that her happy life recompensed her in a great measure for the misery she had endured in this city. She was on a visit to her parents and I presume she is now_on her island home. “Not long ago we received a letter from Zazueta. He told us that he was settled in Philadelphia and was doing a good business as a cigar manu- facturer. He made inquiry about his wife, but seemed more interested in his child and expressed the hope that some- thing might be done by which he could recover it. I wrote to him and told him of the visit of his deserted wife and assured him that I could see no hope for him getting their child. I took particular care to let him know how happy his former wife is, for I con- gider him to be a perfect coward, treat- ing his family in the way he did. I re- minded him that we still held his note for $190 for that Tulare trip and also suggested that if he felt like redeem- ing it he could express the coin to us in my leather gripsack which he was thoughtful enough to borrow. “Zazueta does not mention in his let- ter what became of Mrs. Antonelli, but as he only seems anxious to get his child I presume they are still together, After his wife’s disappearance Antonelif sold his beautiful home for a mere gong and left Oakland and I have not heard of him since. He was so broken hearted that I feared what he might do to himself.” Some weeks have passed since the Mayor answered Mr. Zazueta's letter, but neither the coin nor the gripsack has yet reached Oakland. STREET CAR GOES OVER AN EMBANKMENT ONE WOMAN PASSENGER IS SE- RIOUSLY HURT. A Horse Car in Berkeley Becomes Derailed and the Occupants Are Shaken Up. BERKELEY, Oct. 7.—This morning as one of the horse cars which run between ‘East and West Berkeley was passing near the corner of University avenue and Fourth street, it left the track and fell down an embankment some four or five feet high. The car left Berkeley station at 10 o'clock. The driver was Samuel More- head, and the only passenger a Mrs. Ol- sen of Haywards. As the car had al- most reached Fourth street on Univer- sity avenue, one of the wheels struck a small rock placed across the track. It overturned at once, falling to the wagon road below. At the scene of the accident the track is raised a little over four feet from the main_road. The driver had just turned the Fourth street curve when he felt the car jolt, and instantly leave the rafls. He applied the brake at once and tried to stop the horses, but the momentum carried the car onward until it struck the e of the embankment and rolled over.

OAKLAND, Oct. 7.—Mrs. Nancy Simms TAKE THE BOAT TO BAHW Brdimer RATANPERIAY T Bk T of Alameda is ffee from her obnoxious husband. The decree of divorce granted to her this afternoon allowed her to re- sume her maiden name of Nancy Culver, but it contained no reference to alimony. The couple had not been married a year when the young wife was deserted, and on this ground she was awarded the de- cree of separation. Joseph F. E. Lewis was also granted a divorce to-day from Gertrude Lewis on the ground of infidelity. The climax of Lewis’ trouble occurred a month ago when he found his wife in the eompany of a man named Harris at a Piedmont resort. Lewis vowed that he would take his rival's life, but instead he sought the divorce court. ACCUSED OF HAVING POISONED HIS WIFE Wealthy Kansas Man May Have to Answer for at Least Three Murders. LAWRENCE, Kans., Oct. 7.—J. J. Kunkle, a wealthy merchant taflor, was arrested here to-day, charged with having murdered his wife by poisoning. Mrs. Kunkle died ten days ago. About four weeks previous to the woman's death Birdie Cominyore, her 14-year- old daughter by a former husband, died after a lingering illness which baffled the skill of the family physician. A few days before the death of Mrs. Kunkle she told several of her neigh- bors that she was being slowly poison- ed, and also tnat her daughter had been poisoned. When asked why sha did not leave the house, Mrs. Kunkle replied that she did not feel strong enough to go, and that she hoped to se- cure actual proof of the truth of her suspicions. Upon the death of Mrs. Kunkle, her neighbors brought the case to the at- tention of the Coroner, who caused the woman’s stomach to be taken to the State University for analysls of its con- tents. The result of this analysis was reported to the Coroner's jury yester- day. Strong signs of arsenic were present, and upon this showing,. and upon the testimony of neighbors of the Kunkles, the jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Kunkle came to her death by poison “administered at the hands of her husband and others to the jury unknown.” Following the rendering of this verdict Kunkle was arrested. The stomach of Mrs. Kunkle's little daughter has now been removed for analysis. A former wife of Kunkle died sud- denly after her life had been heavily insured. In the deelopments in the cases of Mrs. Kunkle and her daughter have re- vived incidents attending the death of other members of Kunkle's family. Three years ago the father of his first wife, an old man who lived with Kunkle, died very suddenly, death oc- curring within a few hours after he was stricken. Kunkle's first wife, whose life had been insured for $6000, died in cgnvulsions a few months later. Fred- die, a little son of the first wife, also died suddenly after his life had been insured. Shortly before the death of his first wife Kunkle's house and barn burned under circumstances which caused con- siderable gossip, and he collected a considerable amount of insurance. Kunkle has lived in Lawrence for twenty-five years. e Will Wed at El Paso. EL PASO. Texas, Oct. 7.—T. Franklin Jr. and Margaret L.
