F. KRIEG WAS NOT THE UN- | EKNOWN CORPSE. A Remarkable Case of Kist&ken; Identification Is Puzzling Oakland’s Coroner. | 12—The remains of | OAKLAND, Oct. the man recovered from the bay with a | bullet wound through the head were ident- | ified to-day by N. P. Reuss, the pro- | prietor of bottling works, as those of Oscar F. Krieg, an employe who worked | for him about two years ago, and resided | in the Twenty-third avenue district. Dur- ing the afternoon four other men called at the morgue and corroborated the ident- {fication, all asserting positively that the dead man was none other that Krieg, who of late has been a whisky drummer for & San Francisco house. To-night, to the surprise of Coroner Baldwin and the morgue attendants, Os- car I. Krieg appeared personally ' and | positively declared that he was mot the | Head man by any means, thus leaving the Coroner still in the dark as to the identity of the ®genuine corpse.

OAXLAND, Oct. 12.—Judge Hall to-day granted a decree of divorce to Alonzo Ajyres, the police officer, from Nellie Ayers, on me‘ground of extreme cruelty. The custody of the minor child wasaward- ed to defendant and plaintiff is ordered to pay $16 monthly toward the support of the child. Judge Hall also anted a divorce to Annie Buckingham from Theodore Buck- ingham. There are no children nor prop- e E}, involved in the case. liza Burkart has sued Anton Burkart for a divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty, The parties reside in this city and have two children, A & | calculated to judge, encourage a good, | part set aside | whether the construction is tp begin at | every effort to discredit any enterprise satisfy the public that such a great lux- ury as the night service would be inaugu- rated, they would find themselves sup- ported by an army of friends, who would otherwise not be deeply interested in the proposition. Such a service would, ac- cording to the judgment of those best lucrative travel and popularize the new line to a great extent. It would receive, not only the solid support of the over-the- bay people who patronize San Francisco playhouses and have to start for home in the middle of the last act, but the theater managers would rise up and call the man- agement blessed. Incidentally they might take a few blocks of stock just to show their geauine sympathy with the enter- prise. In any other city where such a large populadon deniands proper accommoda- tons, night boats are suppiled as a mat- ter .of business and necessity. But the Southern Pacific monopoly, which h ywned the bay since the Central Pacific was constructed, has considered its own convenience and refused to run the owl bo; lest there might be an occasionai trip when the receipts would be a few nic hy. A feature of the night ferry service San Fra I boats we: operation of bay in orger which particularly s is the fact run it would neces: owl cars on thi 10 accorimodate t Any institu- tion that would such an in- novation in this could pass around the hat and sec fat contributions to its bullding fun In other words the promoters of the new ferry wo be given additional and substantial encou fact that agement if it were wssured the owl boats would be operated. In speaking of the idea of an all-night ser esterda, W. Beardsliee, gen- agent of the Syndicate Comps County, stated that it was or tly urged 1 165t time ne. 1 the 1f proper support were given this could made a popular ature of the One of the suggestions in this c : is that with there would be ndreds of Se Francisco nigh work- who would have th es on the other side of could de- pend on early mor With reference to the tributing depot,” Mr. that the ldea was to loc i corner of Holden Euen northeast Vista streets and to have it occupy one: half a block. One of the contemplated features would be an inner court, orn: ed with flowers, a fountain, etc. used as a lounging room. The ng would also be arranged with iting rooms, a restaurant, etc., and for stores. It is also prc posed to run a special track to the ¢ me an i) a fornia_Jockey Club's grounds. gers from the city would not have to transfer, as the large cars to be used on the mole would be run through to the track. An accommodation asked for the people of Golden Gate Is the construction of @ short line through their section o Tenth street, which would make a good feeder. Another line which will be con- structed will be from the depot to Wes Oakland to connect with the IEighth, Twelfth, Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets lines of ‘the Syndicate, as well as the one to Alameda. The Berkeley line is to con- nect_with the Cakland Consolidated, and e Piedmont svstem is to be o arranged s to give almost a straight line to that picturesque resort, “This ser of meetings we have begun,” sald Mr. Beardslee, *is for the purpose of letting the people of Oakland know what we are doing, and how we are doing it. We have one of the best business propositions to be found anywhere, and all we need is to have the public Investigate it to be sat- isfled of "its merits. We have about $7,000,000 worth of property for which we paid only 5000, We are in Al shape and making money. 1If the people of Oakland would look into these matters they could satisfy themselves that our enterprise means a great deal to them in the development of the city. And If they want this competitive, up-to-date ferfy service in a hurry they can have it by showing that they take a substan. tial interest in it. It rests with them an early date or three or four years hence. However, 1 will reiterate my gtatement that this new ferry will ‘b uilt.” The report of the meeting of pr owners ‘held at Golden © Gats ot in vesterday’s Call created muich discussion in Oakland yesterday. A strange feature of the Ssituation over there with reference to the proposed new ferry is the fact that there are so many people who put themselves out of the way to decry the enterprise and destroy the confidence of people who would oth- erwise give It substantial support. It is well known in Oakland that this “back-heeling” comes almost entlrely from the Southern Pacific. Company, whioh compels _its agents and employes to usa that’ might affect the revenues of the great monopoly and at the same. time give the public independence. The ' ad- Yancement cof Oakland ls not consid- ered. The officers of the syndicate say they are not 1ooking for fights. or aninet onisms, but simply working out a big business enterprise, in which they ars distributing $1000 a_day in Oakland. They ask only just consideration and fair treat. m;m‘ by those who are benefited by their efforts. Jury Cuts a Surgeon’s Fee. OAKLAND, Oct. 12—The trial of the sult of Dr. Joseph 8. Eastman of Berke- ley against Ferdinand Holtum for the recovery of $1500 claimed due on account of a surgical operation performed on the child of defendant has occupied the atten- tion of Superior Judge Hall and a jury the pn.s}tl several days, and late this er- noon the jury gave a verdict awarding to plaintiff 3230. The costs and jury's fees must be paid by the plaintift. The Eisfeldt Divorce. OAKLAND, Oct. 12—Anna E. Bisfeldt has filed an affidavit with County Clerk Jordan in which she declares that her husband, Theodore A. Eisfeldt, is able to ay her $50 monthly alimony, as required y the court, as well as $150 attorney fees. She complains also that her hus- band has taken possession of all of her wardrobe and prays that a citation issue against him. —_————— SHOT WHILE AT A FUNERAL.

He was escorted to | the Receiving Hospital where the wound | was dressed by Drs. Stratton and Tobin. s Oscar F. Krieg Identified. OAKLAND, Oct. 12—The remains of | the man recovered from the bay with a bullet wound through the head have been identified at the morgue by N. P. Reuss, proprietor of a bottling works, as those of Oscar F. Krieg, who Bad been in his em- ploy for two years. Of late Krieg had been a drummer for a San Francisco wholesole liquor house.

Polk, expert of the board, was also present. The spe- clal object of the meeting was to investi- gate the affairs of the Pullman Palace Car Company, which has been subpenaed | to produce its books and make & showing | of its affairs before the board. Several letters were read showing the great interest the investigation has arous- ed in different parts of the country. One of these, from J. D. Miller of Wisconsin, is as follows: “I notice your efforts to reduce the rates in Pullman cars. Any person can buy a berth in a Pullman from Laredo to Monterey, Mexico, from 4 D. m. to 8 a. m., 16 hours, for ‘90 cents. Also, El Paso to Mexico City, 48 hours, or 1224 miles, for $4; and the Pullman are on cars in Mexico, whenever ths tting Sgponfizmty %rcsents itself. If the Pull- man can do this to Mexico, they can do it to_California. “Four years ago the raflroad company charged per tourist cars, per berth, with the same equipment as now $3, Omaha to California. As soon as Puliman took charge the rates were raised to $5. | A letter was also received from Talcott | Williams of the Philadelphia Press, ask- | ing for particulars of the investigation. | § ' *Coogan, local attorney for the Puliman Company, sald that while he did not know what action the company would take in the matter, he believed that it would not contest the authority of the Doard: Though the sentiment of the board was against much further delay, Mr, Coo- | o gan was finally allowed two weeks in which to find out the attitude of the Pull- man directors in Chicago, after which the meeting adjourned.
