March, who Is also known by the name of William Marsh,will his sentence this month. P s & popular young woman hen she married March, who attributes his downfall to bad associates. i E. Periera The divorce against Mary a of Haywards came up before Judge Ellsworth to-day. The defendant’s case is a_sad one, she being deserted by her husband a month after the nuptials had been celebrated. The plaintiff had decamped for Honolulu at the time, leaving her to seek the home of her aged father for succor and protec- tion. Once within the period of _desertion Periera wrote to his wife that he intend- ed going to other islands to secure work, but instead he returned to Haywards and was recelved without welcome. Pretty Mary Soito’'s love for him had grown cold and she refused to kindle anew the fire of her affections. The jilted husband immediately sued for a divorce, alleging desertion. On the witness stand to-day Mrs. Pe- riera testifled that aside from the support afforded her by her father she had no other from fruit picking. Judge Ellsworth fixed the alimony at $15 per month during the pendency of the #uit, also $10 car fare for her witnesses and $40 for counsel fees. These amounts will have to be paid by Periera before he can secure the decree he sues for. Mary A. Case to-day brought suit for a divorce from James R. Case, alleging statutory grounds. 3 The divorce suit of Eliza Burkart against Anton Burkart was to-day re- ferred to Court Commissioner Babcock to take testimony. Default of defendant was also -entered. —_—————— THAT DELGER NOTE. James J. Lamping Still Has Faith in Its Validity. OAKLAND, r'eb. 13.—The demurrer of James J. Lamping to the complaint in the sult of E. F. Delger and Matilda Brown, as executors of the estate of the late Frederick Delger, brought for the purpose of calceling a $10,000 note, on the ground that the same, If signed by Delger @t all was signed by mistake, was argued before Judge Ellsworth to-day. W. R. Davis, for the defendant, con- tended that the complaint did not specify wherein the allegation of fraud or mis- take consisted, and that therefore the facts alleged are not sufficient to con- stitute a_cause of action. Judge Ellsworth intimated that tbe de- murrer would be sustained, but allowed Congressman Victor H. Metcalf, attor- ney for the plaintiffs, until next Monday to cite authorities supporting his conten- tions that the complaint is sound and the suit properly brought in a court of equity. e g MRS.

G. Hunt Wants Damages. [DR. W. F. LEWIS DEFENDANT | PERMANENT INJURY ATTRIB- UTED TO A RUBBER TUBE. Plainfitt Charges That Proper Oare and Skill Were Not Exercised and Consequently She Suffered. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Feb. 13. Suit was filed this afternoon by Charles W. Hunt and his wife, Margaret G. Hunt, | against Dr. Walter F. Lewis, the well-to- | do dentist, residing on El Dorado avenue, | at Linda Vista terrace, for the recovery of $10,000 damages sustained by reason of | the alleged gross carelessness of extract- | ing a tooth. According to the complaint prepared by Attorneys M. C. Chapman and Fred C. Clift, plaintiffs last February engaged the proféssional services of the defendant doctor of dental surgery to extract a large defective tooth from ‘the upper jaw of Mrs. Hunt and to treat professionally any | inflammation that might result. | " The troublesome tooth was extracted, and it became necessary next to insert a small rubber tube into the cavity to al- low any pus that might gather to be drained. This rubber tube, the complaint | charges, was inserted so far that the in- flammation which followed inclosed the same, with disastrous results, all of | which was performed with gross careless- | ness and failed not only to cure Mrs. | | Hunt's toothache but caused her to suf- | fer excruciating pain by reason of a ten- der and sore head and face. | Mrs. Hunt, moreover, alleges that de- | fendant afterward abandoned all attempts | to locate or remove the pain-inflicting | rubber tube, wheruiiay ‘u sustained last- ing and permanent injuries. The partles are prominent in their re- | | epective vocations, and a great deal of | interest_centers around the probable out- | come. Mr. Hunt is of the firm of Hunt, Hatch & Co., commission merchants, and is also well-to-do. | PUGILIST ON THE RACK.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 13.—Frank Collery, | lad of 13, broke his right leg in two p!l'goe: vesterday while wrestling with a com- panion. The two boys were enjoying the sport in the loft of a stable on Alameda avenue. They were evenly matched and were exerting themselves to the utmost, when Collery fell.

ALL FIXED FOR THE COUNCIL PECULIAR ATTITUDE OF THE PRESENT MEMBERS. Some Damaging Facts Which Will Be Forthcoming in the Promised Inquiry Into the Matter. Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 13. It {s a noteworthy fact that at the in- vestigation prior to fixing water rates the members of the committee asked no question at all of the water company's | representatives, while the six Councilmen | who were not on the committee, but who | were present by courtesy, were the ones who wanted information. It is also pecu- llar that the present committee should consist of four members of the “solid six” | and only one member who is opposed to high rates. Last year this was reversed, and the investigation was carried on by | men not favorable to the water company’s | demands. | It is said that the ordinance desired by the water companies is already prepared | and will be introduced at the proper time, | no matter what report the committee may | make. This ordinance has been carefully made up and apparently decreases rates in certain instances, but on the whole in- treases the income of the water company even beyond the figures of the ordinance now in effect. In the cases of very small houses, of which there are hardly any in this city, the rate is reduced, but on’the class of houses of which fhere are most there is a slight increase. Manager Watkinson of the Contra Cos- ta Company hurt his cause by his impet- uous and unreasonable answers to some of the gentlemanly queries of Mr. Upton and Mr. Rowe. These two gentlemen ap parently wanted the information they asked for, while Mr. Watkinson did not appear anxious to ablige them. Especial- Iy was this the case in a discussion that took place over the use of water meters. It is well known that last June the | Church of the Advent declined to pay its excessive water bill, based on the sched- ule, amounting to over $3. After an alter- cation with the company the church de- cided to put in a meter and the water company told them that they would re- gret such action when they saw the re- sult. At the end of the month it was found that the church had used just 60 cents worth of water and had to pay a bill of 31, because such is the lowest amount collectable under the ordinance for meter rates. This fact will be used during the Investigation. DEFORMED CHILDREN DEMANDING ATTENTION TWO UNHAPPY CASES IN THE PUBLIC EYE. Clergymen Take an Interest and a Benevolent Society Wiil Try to Lend Assistance. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 13. Two unhappy deformed children are oc- cupying the attention of the society which undertakes to look after such cases. One of them is a little deformed girl in West Oakland, the other is a deformed girl at | the Home of Love for Children. | In his sermon last evening Rev. J. W. | Phillips used the following strong lan- guage: “There is a child in West Oak- ve | land to-night who is deformed and will be | for life unless a certain necessary sur- ! operation is performed. The infant | has no doctor’s sKill to save her, because a so-called Christian Scientist says there is nothing the matter. I know of another | case here in which Christlan Scientists | tried to persuade an invalid that there | was nothing the matter with her, and | when they found they could not eftect a cure they abused her for lack of faith.” | At the close of his lecture Mr. Phillips | publicly challenged any Christian Scien- | tist to cure any case of organic disease | to the satisfaction of himself and three | reputable thslcians, At the Home of Love on Twentieth street is a very remarkable case of de- formity which is interesting Dr. Herrick. It is that of a girl about 14 years old who cannot use her llmbs and cannot articu- | late, but who seems to possess some de- gree of common-sense. This girl was in a children’s hospital in'San Francisco and | was declared to be a fit subject for the S. | Home for Feeble Minded at Glen Ellen. After being at the home for a few weeks | the poor girl was declared to be a fit sub- ject for a hospital, and was returned to the Children’s Hospital in San Francisco. In turn she was again sent away as not being a fit subject, and her mother, who is a widow and must work for a livlng, took her child to many institutions, but none would take her in. | The Children’s Society is attempting to find some place where the rl can be | cared for, as it is belleved that with | proper treatment she might be developed intellectually. § e ——e—————— CORBETT TO COACH U.

SAYS BERKELEY’S WATER SUPPLY IS VERY BAD HEALTH OFFICER’'S REPORT TO THE TOWN TRUSTEES. Declares the Watershed Yields Drain- age From Cow Pastures and Cesspools. BERKELEY, Feb. 13.—A sensation was sprung at the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees to-night inthe report of the city health officer, Dr. J. C. Rowell. That official introduced a lengthy. report and laid it before the board upon the contaminated water supply which he claimed is being used by the residents of the university town. e dwelt at some length on the unsanitary condition of the watershed used by the Alameda Water Company, claiming that in ma places it was nothing but the drainage for cess- pools and cow pastures. He estimated that the effect upon the water was such as to seriously impair its sanitary condi- on. The Trustees evinced considerable sur- rise at the disclosures in the report and nstructed the town clerk to at once .in- form the directors of the Alameda Water Company of the state of affairs and re- qgext them to afford an immediate rem- edy.

The so-called ‘“Women's = Co-operative Sewing Soclety,” organized by the “friends of humanity,” is at last to be subjected to a searching investigation by members of local trades unions, who think they have been victimized. s As was told exclusively in The Call some few months ago, these women, who represented themselves as officers of a co-operative sewing assoclation, paid vis- its to the various unfons. and offered tickets for an entertainment to be. held in the basement of Metropolitan Temple.

D. CARR. Denies That He Urged the Removal of Mr. Shields and the Appoint- ment of Ed Smith. In explanation of his reported attitude on the appointment of a secretary for the State Board of Agriculture J. D. Carr has the following to say: I called upon the Governor and in my Interview with him I recommended two persons to fill the vacancles caused by the death of Hon. John Boggs and Charles M. Chase. Not one word passed between the Governor and myself as to the places of the three members who re- tire this year and not one word as to the secretzryshlgi I admit frankly that I am a friend of Mr. Ed Smith, but not to the extent of recommending him to the Gov- ernor for the purpose of removing Mr. Shields. I know nothing of Mr. Shields but what is favorable. hear that he is 2 gentleman of considerable ability. I do not believe, however, that there is a man, in the State who can take the office of secretary and fill it as Mr. Smith fllled it under one year's experience. I was on that board eight years during Mr. Smith’'s incumbency, and I consider him one of the most competent men for a place of that kind I ever knew. In fact, I think but few men are as well qualified for the places they hold as Ed Smith for the secretaryship of that board. I was very sorry for his removal, but it is done, and if he is to be reinstated that will lie en- tirely with the members of the board. As to my recommending any one to fill Mr. Mackay’'s or any one else’s place, now living, that is also a mistake. Of the two gentlemen I recommended, one is from San Francisco and I thought would be a proper man to fill Mr. Chase’s place; the other is from my own county, Mon- terey. I know he is a competent man for the place and would perform the duties faithfully if appointed. I believe this part of the State has had no representation on the board since I resigned five or six years ago. I never asked either of those entlemen if he would support Mr. mith for the secretaryship if appointed, and,- in fact, the subject was not men- tioned between us in any way. I think the Governor will bear me out in saying that not a word was said about the secretaryship in my interview with him, and that I made but two recommen- dations and those were to fill the vacan- cies caused by death. ——————————— DEELEY’S READY CLUB. Brutally Assaults a Patient in the Receiving Hospital. Policeman Larry Deeley “distinguished” himself last evening by assaulting a pa- tient in the Receiving Hospital while the latter was on the operating table. Shortly after 5 o'clock Officer Harry O'Day found a drunken man lying on the sidewalk at Mission and Beale streets. On the way to the City Prison the intox- icated individual attempted to assault the officer, and finding that he could not handle him O'Day called Deeley, who was Patrolllns his beat on Market street. See- ng O'Day struggling with his prisoner Deeley took out his club and brought it down on the drunken man’s head, inflict- ing an ugly scalp wound. His victim was then taken to the Receiving Hospital and as_he lay on the operating table hand- cuffed and held down by five men Deeley struck him with his clenched fist in the face, and again taking out his‘club pro- ceeded to ‘‘bDeat his head off,’".as he ex- citedly expressed it. Just as he raised the locust preparatory to striking his help- ess victim Police Surgeon Weil, who was stitching the cut in the unfortunate man’s head, grabbed the arm of the infuriated officer, thus preventing him from further lnjurxn%the helpless patient. He tken or- dered Deeley out of the hospital, after threatening to call his seemingly brutal conduct to the" attention of the Police Commisisoners. O’Day subseqeuently took his prisoner to the City Prison, where h for drunkenness and battery. He gave his name as John Gleeson and his occu- pation as that of a laborer. ——————— Scandinavian Anniversary Party.
