The members accepted his explanations, rea- sons and arguments and passed the order closing the classes. The executive committee of the Mission High School Society vesterday detailed certain of its members to interview the Directors in order to learn their individ- ual views on the question. Seven—Stow, Head, Holbrook, Brandenstein, Conlon and Stafford—w favorable to consideration, while Eelis was strongly opposed to such action. Bergerot and Armstrong were not seen, and Kemp and Gedge were non-committal. Director Stafford said tha he voted solely on the advice of Superintendent Webster. He wi in no position to ex- amine deeply into the matter and took the word of an experlenced teacher such as Mr. Webster undoubtedly is. He will vote to reconsider if the question is favorably received by the board. Holbrook is willing to take up the ques- tion again in the next board meeting. The idea, which was Webster's, was to_clear all work out of the M fon Hight School that was not purely academic, and that appearing to be a good idea he voted for 1t. Stow was open to a change of heart, but with him it was a matter of economy. The board was in a deplorable state and he will stand by any measure that will save money. Cole sald the question was little con- sidered in the board meeting. It was stated to be a wise, prudent and econom- ical measure and simply moving the commercial classes to their proper places. He now saw there was a joker in the mat- ter and w favorable to re siderati Eells was unwilling to rescind any tion. He wanted to see the institution a High School and not a mere commercial institution Head was very pronounced in favor of reconsideration and rescinding the order. He did not understand the question fully when he voted for it, thinking the change was merely to put the school on the course of study as the Lowell and J High schools. The thing had been rushed through without sufficient thought. Conlon misunderstood the full import of abolishing a department of 103 pupils and ssed himself as favorable to recon- sideration. Kemp was non-committal and was dis- posed to stand by the action of the board. Gedge wrapped himself in mystery and answered his visitor's question by the irrelevant query as to the whereabouts of “that $10,000 worth of tyvpewriters out in the Mission High School.” He could not get away from the fact that his visitor ‘was not a newspaper man, and was asked no more questions, Dr. Clinton, chairman High School Society, at evening stated that he Polytechnic classes were so crowded that it was utterly impossible to accommodate any more students. He asked, if the Mis- sion commercial teache: must follow their puplls to another school across the city, why make the change? The Poly- technic classes now number from fifty to sixty pupils, as many for each as one teacher could handle. Director Head was reported to have sald that he was willing to vote that the commercial department of the Mission High School be continued till June 30, when the present class will finish the course. . Over 100 petitions are being actively cir- culated through the Mission district for signatures, and will contain several thou- sand names when they are presented in protest to the board next Monday evening. of the Mission its meeting last understood the The alleged list of ousted teachers which appeared in the Examiner yester- day morning occasioned considerable fright to the owners of those names and much amusement to the clerks in the office of the Board of Education. A large number of those teachers have been in the School Department for a dozen years, undrr;nly seven were elected since August 1, 1878. Director Holbrook, chairman of the Fi- nance Committee, stated positively yes- terday that the board will not assume any debts contracted by the Normal 8chool after February 1. He also stated that as Judge Seawell has rendered no de- cision the hands of the Directors are tied up and no money can be pald out for sal- arles. The matter of this payment was to have been settled at the meeting set for next Monday evening, but now all must await the decision of the court.

Miss Ellis was to have been one of the bridesmalds of Mrs. Eleanor Dimond Jarbce, and the very day of the Dimond-Jarboe nup- tials came the word that Miss Ellis could not officiate, she herself having appeared 2t a wedding the evening previous i the interesting capacity of bride. The marriage of Sherwood and the daughter of the Marysville banker was a most unhappy one, and a di- vorce followed. One child was the re- sult of the union.

A rough draft of the programme for the three days' celebra- tion, which will be held in this city, w adopted, and chairmen for the various committees were appointed. These chair- men, with President H. S. Jones, Secre- tary’ U. S. G. Clifford and Treasurer George T. Shaw, will form the executive committee and will establish headquarters in room 1, 0dd Fellows’ bullding. The first work of the convention last night was the adoption of a skeleton pro- gramme and the fixing of the actual dates | for the celebration. Grand Secretary Shaw and Past Grand Master Morrison | spoke at some length on this subject. Both favored the selection of certain days when the jubilee would be held In this city and both were in favor of giving lodges outside the city the privilege of holding local celebrations at some pre- vious date. It was finally agreed that the regular jubilee celebration be held In this city on October 18, 19 and 20, and that out- celebrations on or about the Sth of Sep- tember. This it is believed will prove more than satisfactory, as the Odd Fel- lows throughout the State will be en- abled to celebrate both the jubllee day of the State and their own anniversary at one and the same time. The programme was drafted and ac- ce(gted last night, as follow: ctober 18—Grand reception in Wood- ward's Pavilion at 8$. ?y Mayor Phelan and prominent Odd Fel- ows. October 13—Day and street parade, with cantons in uniform and lodges in re- | galla. Evening—Competitive drill by can- tons of Patriarchs Militant and Rebckah Drill Corps in Mechanics' Pavilion. October 20—Excursion on the bay. Even- ing—Dress parade, review and awarding rizes, closing with a grand ball. is is only a skeleton of the pro- gramme.

HEBBARD GETS A SETBACK A POINT. Rawhide and App Mines Will Be Re- stored to Their Original Mana- gers and the Fight Will Continue. Many silent mills and deserted shafts in the hills of Calaveras and Tuolumne tell their stories of bitter litigation and attest the greed of some interested party, whose mercenary motives kept hidden in the earth millions that might have en- riched him and the world. Will the great Rawhide and App properties be added to this great list of mines, whose stamps have long been silenced and are breaking from their crumbling guldes, is the ques- tion that is being asked.

Yesterday the Supreme Court took an | unusual stand in the case. On the presen- tation of certain facts to the court by E. S. Pillsbury and Garrgt' McEnerney, who are representing W. H. Martin and John Ballard, defendants in the action re- cently instituted by Captain W. A. Nev- flls, the Supreme Court put itseif in the slace of the lower court, or court of orig- nal jurisdiction, and over the head of | Judge Hebbard, and fixed the amount of | the surety to be placed in the hands of the | court to guarantee against loss on the | appeal from the order appointing the re- | ceiver. The history of the case up to the time the Supreme Court took this unusual step is interesting, the step of the Su- preme Court being the most interesting, however. Nevills filed suit last Monday morning for the purpose of establishing a copartnership “over the App mine, claiming that with Martin and Ballard he was the owner of the mine, but had been driven from his lands by an armed force. The complaint was taken before Judge Hebbard, and without delay, on the mo- tion of Nevills' attorneys, he appointed Myer Jacobs_receiver. With all haste Jacobs hurried to the mines, and Wednes- day a telegram was received by Judge Hebbard, in which it was stated that the receiver ‘'was in possession of the mines.

T''s was a surpising setback for Mr. Plllsbury, and it was decided to take the matter before the Suprems Court.
