It means an elevation for him, it is true; but it also means the severing of those ties by which he been affil- jated for over five years with the mem- bers of his flock. Rev. John Partridge, then president of the standing committee of the mission- ary district of Sacramento, read the cer- tificate of election from the House of Bishops. Then Bishop Nichols required the promise of conformity from Mr. Moreland, who in a steady, deeply moved volce, repeated the following words: “In_the name of God, amen. I, Wil- liam Hall Moreland, chosen Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church in the mis- sionary district of Sacramento, do prom- ise conformity ana obedience to the doc- trine, dlscif}llno and the worship of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America. So help me God, through Jesus Christ.” An so, in clear and firm voice, he sub- scribed to the articles in which he was examined by Bishop Nichols until the final words were uttered and the laying ‘on of hands made him the Bishop of Sac- ramento. This was followed by a long prayer ser- vice and Mendelssohn’s beautiful anthem, “Now Are We Embassadors in the Name of Christ,” was most sympathetically rendered Ior the offertory. The consecration service was followed by the communion, and it was not until the middle of the afternoon that the clergy left the church, singing “Fling Out the Banner.” As a preliminary to the consecration there was early celebration of holy com- munion at St. Luke's Church, the cele- brant being Rt. Rev. J. H. Johnson. The morning prayer was said at 9 a. m. at 8t. Paul's Church, those officiating being Rev. J. O. Lincoln, Church of Divinity School, San Mateo, and Rev. J. T. Shurt- leff, decretary convocation of Sacra- mento. Bishop Moreland was born in Charles- ton, S. C., April 9, 1561. He was' educated at the University of the South and was the first graduate of the institution who took the three degrees of B.S., B.Lt. and M.A. He received his theological train- ing at the Berkeley Divinity School, Mid- dietown, Conn., and was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Connecticut in 188 ana advanced to the priesthood in St. Phili Church, Charleston, S. C., by Bishop W B. W. Howe, D.D. 'During his deaconate he was assistant at Christ Church, Hart- ford, Conn., the rector of the parish be- ing Rev. William F. Nichols, the present Bishop of California, to whom he became warmly attached. In 188 Mr. Moreland accepted_the rectorship of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Nashua, N. H., and continued in charge of the work there for elght years. When, in 1801, the diocese determined to build an episcopal residence to com- memorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Bishop Niles' episcopate, Mr. Moreiand was selected to raise the funds, He made a personal canv: s cured in a few for the purpose. The residence is now oc- cupied by the Bishop, is free from debt and is a’ permanent asset of the diocese. In 1893 Mr. Moreland became rector of St. LuKe's Church in this city. St. Luke's has greatly increased in numbers under his leadership, having a communicant roll of 1036 and being at present engaged in the erection of a new and splendid stone church to accommodate the increased at- tendance. Mr. Moreland has been dean of the convocation of San Francisco dur- ing the past two years. — ENTERTAINED BY BISHOP NICHOLS The reception tendered by Right Rev. Willlam F. Nichols, D.D., and Mra. Nich- ols to Right Rev. Willlam Hall Moreland, Mrs. Moreland and the clergy and laity of the Episcopal church, at the Occidental Hotel last night, was in every sense a splendid success. The guests began to arrive at 8 p. m., and were received by the members of the reception committee, consisting of Dr. H. C. Davis, A. N. Drown, John A. Wright, Colonel J. D. Middleton, Alanson H. Phelps, Sidney M. Van Wyck, L. C. Mc- Afee, L. F. Southack, John Chetwood, Major J. B. Day, Kirkham Wright, George H. Andrus, Louis F. Monteagle, Sidney Smith and Charles P. Eels. They were then conducted to the parlors, where Bishops Nichols and Moreland, with their wives, received them gra- ciously. So many people availed themselves of the invitations that the parlors were in- adequate to contain them all, and many sought refuge in the halls and on the stairways. The bishops were kept busy shaking hands with their guests for two hours, and the evening was spent in small talk and congratulations to the newly elected Bishop of Sacramento, A dainty collation was served toward the close of the evening. Bishop Moreland met all the clergy of the northern jurisdiction, over which he will have ecclesiastical powers. They are: C. C. Pierce, Placerville; William Bollard Vallejo; T. H.

Colonel Berry of the lately discharged Seventh California Regiment has sub- mitted a report which accounts for the $1000 given to the regiment by the Red Cross Soclety of this city last August and over which so much discussion arid specu- lation arose a short time ago. Berry re- turned to Mrs. W. B. Harrington of this city $200 on December 15, 1898, and on Jan- uary 17 and 18 of this year he turned over to Mrs. Griffith of the Los Angeles Red Cross Society $24918. The balance, includ- ing $115 for telegrams, was spent for necessities for the soldiers of his regi- ment before they went out of service. A list of these expenditures accompany the report and every dollar of the $1000 is accounted for; $177 75 was given to the Sis- ters’ Hospjtal at Los Angeles for care of }mtlems who were too sick to be cared or in the camp. This amount was one- half the hospital's regular rates. The other items are: $141 for board and lodg- ing of convalescents, $%0 for nurses, $35 for temporary hospital ‘quarters adjacent to Camp Merritt, $4540 for medical supplies at Camp Pratt, $19 40 for meals for guard at Camp Merritt, $16 for potatoes, $605 for bread and coffee for sick ea route 1o Los Angeles, $612 for supplies for sick at Mojave, $4 50 for chloride of lime, $3 60 for sawdust at Camp Pratt, $335 for fuel and laundry at Camp Pratt, and $150 for to- bacco for patient in United States Army Post Hospital at San Diego. The money was only expended in cases where there Tas no source of supply from the Govern- ment. The communication and report are ad- dressed to Mrs. John F. Merrill, president of the San Francisco Red Cross Society, from whom Berry received the funds. REFORMER JOHN GOFF HELE ON A VISIT HE WAS FAMOUS IN THE LEXOW COMMITTEE.

He retired immediately to his room on arrival, being fatigued after his long journey across the continent. His visit to this coast is given out as be- ing strictly for pleasure. This is his second trip to this city since the comple- tion of the Lexow investigation.

The fate of Officer Kenville, charged with having fractured Willie Lynch's skull with a club last September, will be determined this morning. Yesterday's session was taken up by the defense. Many witnesses were put on the stand, among them being George A. Jewett, P. H. Myer, D. E. Goldstone, Henry T. Jones, Charles E. Helsel, William Britt and A, F. Lillie, the majority simply tes- tifying that they did not see the officer throw his club, while the last two named stated that they had examined the club alleged to have been thrown by the officer some time after the occurrence and found no dents or marks upon it. The case was submitted, and Attorney Henry E. Highton made a strong argu- ment for the prosecution. He took the testimony of the Individual witnesses, an- alyzed it and rewove it into a strong case against the accused.

LIKE THE NOE VALLEY CLAIMS SUITS WILL BE DISMISSED FOR A CONSIDERATION. A Cloud Now Hengs Over the Deeds | of Hundreds of Holders of Small Pieces of Real Estate. A case has recently cropped up In the Superior Court which not only in- volves thousands of dollars in small | holdings, but has created a small panic | among real estate men and hundreds of | people who own building lots on the old | Rancho Rincon de las Salinas or Bernal | Rancho. | This piece of land, which lies along | the old San Jose road, was years ago After several changes it became the property of Joseph Mora Moss, Harvey S. Brown, Francois L. A. Pioche, Henry A. Cobb and John Francis Cobb. 4 On October 30, 1860, they sold the | piece of land, amounting to some 200 acres, to the Islais and Salinas Water | Company, a corporation formed to pur- chase it. The land thus acquired was divided into building lots and disposed of. The first record of sale is dated Janu- ary 2, 1861, and states that a certain plat of land was sold to Henry B. Pot- ter and Abel Wade. The deed bears the signature, “Islais and Salinas ‘Water ‘Company, by F. L. A. Pioche, H. A. Cobb and C. de Boom, trustees," | and hereby hangs the tale. There was no common seal of the company and there are no records ex- tant which show that the three gentle- men aforementioned ever were trustees or had the right to sell the land. They simply signed and used their individual seals. Hundreds of people bought lots and accepted the deeds given by the three so-called ‘“‘trustees.” These deeds have held without contest for the past thirty | years or more, but somebody has at last found a loophole in these deeds. After passing through various hands one of the deeds came into the hands of Mary sarney. She found her lot al- ready in the possession of John Pforr. She entered suit for possession in the | Superior Court, but lost, the court hold- | ing that, for various reasons, the title from the three trustees was not valid. The case was carried to the Supreme | Court, which upheld the decision of | | the lower court. Searles said: “Proof was made that the corpora- | tion grantor had three trustees. but there was no proof that the parties signing the deed were such trustees. nor was there any authority shown from the corporation to any one to make the sale or to convey the land, nor was there any resolution ratifying such conveyance.” This was the beginning of the pres- ent suit, which is simply a suit against all who hold deeds signed bysthe three trustees, instituted by two unknown parties, who claim to be the two sur- vivors of the old corporation. They claim that there is no officidl record of the three trustees who signed the orig- inal deeds, that, according to the Bar- ney-Pforr decision, the deeds are value- less, and accordingly sue for the prop- erty. Among the holders are the California Title Insurance and Trust Company, the Hibernia Bank and other large con- cerns, all of which have for years been passing on these titles. It is stated that the complainants in the case have agreed to settle up and give a clear title to any defendant who will pay them 2 per cent of the present assessed valuation of their property and state that some have already paid In his opinion Judge | up. Others look upon it as a scheme and are determined to fight the case to a finish. Among these is M. Salomon. He placed his individual case in an attor- ney’s hands, but the attorney finds him- self at sea to a certain extent. He characterizes the whole thing as a scheme and, owing to the peculiar attitude of the plaintiffs, will find it difficult to bring his client out on top. “The plaintiffs,” he says, “‘have told us that if we file an answer they will im- mediately dismiss the case. We can have it dismissed readily ourselves, in fact, by pleading the statute of limita- tiong, but this is not what we want. If we make any such plea, the prosecu- tion will move for the dismissal of the case and the titles of the land will for- ever remain under a cloud. Their pos- session by the present owners may | never be disputed, but should they be sold, the case would be revived again. “What we want to do is to force a trial of the case. If this can be done, and we think it can, we will prove a negative possession, or that the water company has neither been in possession of nor paid taxes on the lands for the past five years, and this will give us a clear title. There are many peculiar things regarding this case. For in- stance, the complaint was never sworn to, and it is not alleged that the com- plainant Is a corporation nor are the names of the complainants given. This may prevent us from filing a cross com- plaint, but we will, in our answer, ask for relief, and I think we have a suffi- ciently clear case to enable us to get a quiet title if the thing is ever brought to trial. All we want is a fair trial and we will prove that the water com- pany has really no title.” | The whole case promises to form one of the most interesting ones involving | land titles that has been heard in the | courts since the famous Noe Valley suits and may end in the same way. It is strongly hinted that there is a combination back of the whole thing and the suits were instituted to make up for the depression in real estate and fill the pockets of certain shrewd specu- lators and lawyers. ?oker.Players Gathered In.

ADVERTISEMENTS. The Master Key. A adctor who pre- scribes a dozen di ferent rem- edies for the symp- foms of one disease is like an old- time tumn- key lugging ™ about a ponderous bunch of keys, each one to open @ a different door. = When anyone’s | blood is thin and watery and poi- soned with bilious impurities this condition will show itself in ev- ery part of the body and the av- erage doctor gives one medicine for the stomach, another for the head, a third for the lungs and so on; as if each particu- lar symptom was a separate dungeon of misery to be unlocked with its own particu- lar key; but the scientific, experienced physician looks deeper and seeks the one master-key which unlocks them all. Thirty years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buf- falo, N. Y., found the wonderful ““Golden Medical Discovery ” which has since made him famous: It is the perfect master-key which unlocks every torture chamber of weakness and pain caused by faulty action of the digestive system. Itgives the stom- ach and blood-making glandgpower to pro- duce the healthy blood whic drives out all impure disease germs and waste products, nng builds up healthy tissue, solid muscu- lar flesh and nerve energy.
