Feliz Charges Her Husband ‘With Unscrupulous Trans- actions. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, March 2. The plot thickens in the divorce suit of Refugio Bernal Feliz against Joge Feliz, on the ground of desertion, and defend- | ant’s attorney, D. M. Conners, s to be made a defendant. Notice to that effect was filed to-day by plaintiff’s attorneys, Wiliam Balley and Carl Wood, who will on next Monday also move that their client be permitted to flle an amended supplemental complaint. The latter pleading will set forth that when Refugio Bernal Feliz married Jose on December 26, 1885, she possessed a 200- acre ranch near Pleasanton, and, being desirous of also owning two town lots in | Livermore, and reposing confidence in her | newly acquired Jose, she gave him money Wherewith to purchase for her the cher- jshed property. Instead, Jose had an u divided one-half interest vested in his pame, and after plaintiff had expended $1000 in improvements on the lots Jose Tmortgaged one-half interest to D. M. Conners as security for a promissory note for $225, bearing date February 10, 1859, The amended supplemental complaint will also allege that on February 18 last Jose, without any consideration, pretend- ed fo convey by deed to Antonio B. Mezzo an undivided one-half interest in the property. Mrs. Feliz therefore asks that Mezzo, t00, be made a defendant. Mrs. Feliz alleges that she is not versed in the vernacular, and therefore did not understand what her deserting husband was about. She asks that deeds and mort- gage be declared vold and that the court decree the property as being held in trust for her. P —— Divorced and Reunited.

The 1500 voters In the annexed district | have no longer any doubt as to their mu- | nicipal standing, for the Supreme Court | handed down an opinion to-day declaring | that the annexed territory is legally a | part of Oakland. The main point of contention was a technical one, based on the apparent il-| v of incorporating outlying terri- which was already divided into in- orporated sanitary districts. The Su- | preme Court reviewed the matter at some | length and disposes of all the objections. | It was supposed from the first that the | annexation project having obtained the | necessary two-thirds vote, would be sus-| tained by the court on the general prin- | ciple that courts are always reticent | about upsetting the expressed will of the people.

Water rates should not be fixed by the government of this city to re- turn one dollar more than a fair income upon an investment sufficient to provide water. This is my proposition upon the water rate question. It is time to elect a government in Oakland that will look after the interest of the rate payer.

Narrow Escnpe’l‘;om Being Burned to Death. ALAMEDA, March 2.—By the presence of mind this evening of Christina Olsen, a domestic employed at the home of Lewis E. Spear, 162 Dayton avenue; Miss Anita Lopez, a nursegirl, was saved from a hor- rible death. The young lady was scated in the kitchen near a hanging lamp, which fell from its fastenings and breaking on the floor enveloped her in blazing coal ofl. The frightened girl ran from the kitchen {0 the dining room, her clothing in flames, n as the fire reached who was in_the her body. Miss Olsen, front paz-t of the house, was attracted by her plercing screams and ran to her as- sistance. Taking in the situation at a glance Miss Olsen grabbed a table cover and hurriedly wrapped it about Miss Lo- pez, smothering the flames. The injured girl's halr was singed, her face considerably scorched and her right limb quite seriously burned. A physician was summoned, and after dressiug the in- ed that while the burns were ere not of a very serious s and undercloth- juries stat painful they w nature. The girl’s skirt | ing were burned almost to ashes, and her escape from death was miraculous. In {he meantime the burning ofl had set fire to the woodwork of the kitchen, which blazed briskly, but was extinguished by and Charles Wheaton, neighbors, before the arrival of the Sher- man street hose wagon, which responded to a stil alarm sent in about 8:30 o’clock. YOUNG MRS. LEVISON DENIED A DIVORCE UNABLE TO PROVE LEGALITY OF HER MARRIAGE. Her Alleged Husand Is Accused of Successfully Deceiving Her for Fourteen Years. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, March 2. Young Mrs. Levison has been denied a divorce by Judge Ellsworth, because, ow- ing to an alleged deception on the part of her second husband, she is unable to prove that she was legaily free to con- twelve years ugo. When a girl, a little over 14 years old, Mrs. Levison was induced in Lewis and Clarke County Oregon, to malTy & man named Mull She lived with him in the | forests for a few weeks, and at the end of that time they were so mutually dis- tasteful to each other that they parted willingly. Levison came on the scene, and | being more agreeable to the girl made love to her with complete success. Mullin was perfectly willing that his bride of a month should obtain a_divorce, and both he and Levison ured her, so she claims, that legal steps had been taken the necessary n tak toward that end. Believing herself at lib- | erty matrimontally, Mrs. Mullin married | Levison by contract, and the relatives on both sides regarded them a wife for a period of twelve years, during which five children were born. 'Finally Levison made himself very objectionabla and left his home. Mrs. Levison brought suit for divorce on the ground of deser- tion, but was pot able to prove to the sat- jsfaction of the court that she was di- vorced from her first husband thirteen years ago. A few months ago Levison obtalned some notoriety in this city by declaring he had swallowed a bottle of strychnine because of his matrimonial sorrows, but rs. Levison's friends declare that this s simply a subterfuge on his part to sympathy. His wife is now living in San jose, working hard to support her numerous family, and Levison is in the employ of the lighthouse service on Goat and, but is not doing anything to lighten his wife's burden. — e Oakland News Items.

Following close upon the heels of this humiliating experience, the ciub re- ceived a letter signed “The Young Ladies of Alameda,” stating that the members had gone to unnecessary trouble in organizing against Cupid's wiles, as none of the young ladies would have them as a gift. “There are others,” the letter stated, “who are not only able to take care of themselves but provide for a wife also. It is doubtful if a member of the Bachelors’ Club can do either.” This was a crusher; but still the members clung together bravely.

SALOON-KEEPERS DEFEATED WILL HAVE TO PAY A BIG MU- NICIPAL LICENSE. The Newly Acquired Territory Sure to Cut an Important Figure in the Coming City Election. The Supreme Court has rendered a de- cision in the big Oakland annexation case, holding that the annexation 4s legal. While the matter is directly of great im- | portance to the people residing in the old | Lorin and Golden Gate districts, as well as to the residents of Oakland, the deci- sfon is far-reaching, as it will apply to many municipalities all over the State where enlargement of municipal territory | the case as presented to the higher court are interesting. After the annexation of a large niece of territory on the north of Oakland to the city in the manner prescribed by law, action was begun to have the proceedings declared fllegal and void." The Superior | Court of Alameda County decided that | the annexation was legal. | From all accounts, those who were most bitter in opposition to annexation were about thirteen saloon-keepers, who were | anxious to avoid the payment of the mu- nictpal liquor license of $400 a vear instead of $100, the amount of the license of the outside districts. Acting upon the deci- | sion of the lower court, all of the political | parties in the annexed districts nominated | candidates for the offices of the Oakland municipality, that are to be filled by the election that is to take place on the 13th of this month. In the meantime, the ap- | peal had been taken to the higher court, | and, realizing the necessity of having a | decision to_avoid getting matters badly | muddled, the Supreme Court consented to_advance the case instead of letting it | take its regular course ani come up in| a year or so. The final opinion was writ- | ten by Commissioner Hayne, and Chief Justice Beatty added a concurring opin- on. Commissioner Hayne briefly states the | case by saying that it was to determine the validity of proceedings under which | Oakland_claims the territory lying north | of her charter line to the town of Berke- | ley. The annexed territory includes the | whole of Adeline sanitary district and | part of Golden Gate sanitary district, and | the contention was made that sanitary | husband and | districts cannot be annexed to an incor- | porated town or city under the act of 1889, | under which the proceedings in question were had. Relative to this the court in part says: This contention is based upon the proposition that two public corporations cannot exist in the | same territory when the powers conferred upon each conflict one with the other, and that the powers conferred upon each do conflict; that sanitary districts cannot be dissolved by an- nexation proceedings under the act of 188, but only in the special way provided by the sani- tary act under which they were organized, and if they can be annexed to the city it must be under the statute providing for the consolida- tion of municipal corporations. 3 It moy be conceded at the outset that'sani- tary districts are public corporations, though not designated as corporations by the statut and that all their powers, duties and privi leges aresuch as are incident to munieipal co porations formed under the municipal govern- ment act or existing under freeholders’ charters, though not possessing many of the Important powers, duties and privileges of the latter, and that the same ppwers could not after annexa- tion be exercised by each in the same territc But if the statute permits territory embraced in or covered by a sanitary district to be annexed o & city municipal corporation of a higher class and capable of exercising the same func- tions as well as others essential to municipal government such statute contemplates a ces- slon of the powers of the inferior corporation to the greater, and a consequent dissolution of the former as a result of the annexation. Tt the territory embraced in these sanitary aistricts had chosen to incorporate under the statute as-a town or a city instead of becom- ing annexed to the city of Oakland it ce tainly could not have been necessary as a pre- liminary to such incorporation to disincorpo- rate as such sanitary districts, since by the in- corporation they would have preserved every right and privilege they had before and would at the same time acquire other rights and additional powers which would enable them the better to preserve and secure all the rights they had as sanitary districts; and if they might incorporate as a town or city without first dissolving the prior incorporation, no rea- son is percelved why they could not accom- plish the same thing by becoming annexed to an existing municipal corporation, under the act of 1889, 2 This statute unquestionably authorized the annexation of the territory here in question un- less appellant’s further contentlon can be sus- tained, viz.: that these districts were munici- pal corporations, and the proceedings to ac- complish the union of this territory with the city of Oakland should have been taken under section 8 of the act of 1883, The court holds that the suggestion that difficulties might arise out of the division of Golden Gate Sanitary District, a part of which is not annexed, need not cause apprehension, as the act providing for the creation of =uch districts also provides for their dissolution. The appellant’s second point is: ‘“‘There is no law under which to add the an- nexed territory to any wards, so as to enable the duly qualified electors residing in the annexed territory to use the elec- tive franchise to which they are entitled under the constitution.” To this the court answers by calling attention to the Oakland charter, which provides that the city shall be redis- tricted into seven wards every ten years, so0 long as this is not done within ninety days previous to an election. In altering the boundaries of the wards, or creating new wards, regard must be had to the number of inhabitants, so that each ward shall contain, as near as mnf be, an equal number of inhabitants, exclusive of per- sons Incapable of citizenship In this| State. . The City Council adopted an ordinance changing the boundaries of the Second Ward, and the contention was that it had no_power to do so. On thigspoint the court, speaking of the power given by the Legislature to make such changes, say: It is enacted that the boundary of the ad- jacent ward or wards shall be changed so as 1o include the added territory. As the city of ter, the annexed territory was properly added to the Second Ward.- This, I think, could be done without violation of its charter. Section 2 of the charter, while requiring that the city Shall be redistricted into seven wards every tenth year, does not prohibit a change of boundaries at other times. Tt seems that there were two petitions for annexation, the first being imperfect in its designation of the boundaries of the new territory. The second was acted upon by the Council. The n.rpellant ar- ed that in this there was irregularity. he court held that no one was injured by the faflure to submit the first to a vote. The lower court was sustained. Berkeley News Notes.

At the beginning of the estrangement there was some mention of a_woman in the case, but the mysterfous female has since been lost to sight. 1In fact, those in a position to know declare that ) Swain was most anxious for a reconci tion with her recalcitrant spouse, that all her overtures to kiss and make up were ignored.
