THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1899, ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. ARE WEARY WAITING FOR A BRIDGE How Cuvellier Won His Majority. . MAYOR SNOW'S MESSAGE WILL SHOW HOW TO AVOID MORE PITFALLS. San Leandro Sets an Example Worthy of Being Followed. A Municipal Joke Repeated. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, March 2 There is much merit in the dissatisfac- tion being expressed in Oakland and Ala meda with the manner in which the new county bridge is not being bullt. Th bridge s the only public conne tion between Oakland and Alameda from the west end of the En- cinal Cit i thousands of people use it dally. Somewhere about a vear ago the bridge was condemned, and the railroad and the county were required to build new bridges. The railroad com- ee months ago, with a steel struc- pleted theirs about t spanning the estuary ture that is a big improvement to’the harbor. The county dallied on and 1 dallying. Contracts are supposed to have been let, but for months practically noth- ing has been done. The old bridge has been mostly taken away, but there is no appearance yet of a new bridge. The electric road is forced to make a detour through East Oakland and completely through the city of Alameda before it can deliver any Oakland passengers at the west end of the city. The distance now being traveled is fully five times what it need be, and this state of affairs will certainly continue for some months. There may be good reasons why the wealthy county of Alameda cannot con- struct a bridge as rapidly as the railroad company, but there can be any Justification for the count longer than the Southern F i indifference is causing great hardship to thousands of people who cannot forget the fact that the bridge was to have been finished many months ago, and it s not yet started.

Now, Oakland has two water supplies, either of which could supply the town, and during the past months the talk of water famine has been more pronounced than ever. As usual the lake has filled up in plenty of time and now holds a s ¢ sufficient to last Oakland for ne: vears, indepen- dent of the art pply that has been developed recently, There will have to be a new code of natural laws before Oakland is visited by water famine.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadway, March 26. | Bourrouil Mathieu, aged 42 years, was found dead in a room at the Huff House, | this morning. Death was due to gas asphyxiation and he dead man was found in a kneeling posture by a chair near his bed. He had occupied the bed during the night and was but partially clad when the landlady, | Mrs. Josephine Brischaus, found him. Whether death was accidental or suici- al will perhaps be determined by a Coroner’s jury to-morrow night, for the conditions surrounding the case are such that a thorough investigation has been determined upon by Coroner Mehrmann. Mathieu had been employed for the past five years as a washer in the Oakland | Laundry at Twenty-ninth street and San | Pablo avenue. His friends speak of him as a man of frugal habits and economic. Last night he severed his connection with the Oakland Laundry and was to have started in the laundry business for himself, having leased a place at Third and Washington streets. He told his co- | employes he would first enjoy a week’s rest and expected to begin operations in his new place a week from to-morrow. He was in the best of spirits when he parted company last night and immediately went to the Huff House, intending to rent room there for a week. suicide is scoffed at by his friends as well as by Mrs. Brischaus, who discovered his_dead body this morning. “Mr. Mathleu rented a room here at 10:30 o'clock last night,” said Mrs. Bris- chaus to a Call reporter. “He said he wished the room for a week, but made no arrangements about paying the rent. 1 did not notice that he had any company. At T:30 o'clock this morning 1 went to arouse him and to ask him about the rent. I knocked at the door, but got no an- swer. Then I tried the door and found it open. a chair at the head of the bed, dead. I immediately ran down and gave the alarm. “I do not think he committed suicide, be- cause he seemed In such a happy frame of mind_ last night.

Monte Vista Gardener Who Kneels Before Women and Prays for Their Salvation. OAKLAND, March 26.—Religion and his supposed anxiety over the future happl- ness of the gentler sex has once more un- hinged the mind of Carl Oscar Carlson, a gardener, who. only last December was discharged from the Stockton Asylum. Since his release Carlson nas been work- ing for a family named Welch at Monte Vista, Piedmont, and has been annoying ladies by accosting them in the street to make inquiries as to their future wel- fare and the herebeyond. On such occa- sions he would deliberately kneel down and pray and sing, while his fair and con- fused auditor ran for her safety. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital by the police and will be examined to- morrow morning. e Jewish Passover Feast.

Alameda Office San Francisco’Call, 1428 Park Street, March 2. Alameda has a unique candidate for the office_of City Trustee in the person of Ben J. Smith. Mr. Smith is running a: an independent. Besides “goine it alone,” he has ideas that are strictly his own, and purely original so far as Alameda politics are concerned. He issued to-day a plat- | form of his own. It is entitled “Smith's Indenture,” and the drift of it is that Mr. Smith purposes to conduct the affairs of | the municipality without levying taxes on the property owners. He sets forth as facts for the ccnsideration of the tax- payer the following gulding thoughts: “Reduce the taxes by one-half and you | double the value of reaity.” | “A man’s taxes shall always be in pro- | portion to the interest he takes in poll- tic: Men who look after themselves only will eventually be left to tuemselves and | high taxes.” He asserts that the gas company makes | a net annual profit from Alameda patrons of $30,000. He wants the city to confiscate | the works and turn this money into the | public treasury. | Fire insurance companies, Mr. Smith be- lieves, are growing rich on their income from Alameda. | the neighborhood of = $55.000 per annum. | He will demand a yearly royalty of $20.000 from these corporations to maintain the local fire department, which he claims is run entirely for the benefit of the insur- ance companies. According to Mr. Smith the telephone company should _contribute handsomely toward ‘paying_the running expenses of the city. He asserts it is making $18,000 a vear in Alameda and he thinks the least it can do is to pay $4000 of the amount an nually for the privilege of doing business here. Mr. Smith wants to have all the water company makes. Its nef -rofit last year was §17.002 32. The city will run the works if Mr. Smith has his way. These various amounts, he figures, will be ample .0 con- duct the city’s business without levying taxes on individual property holders. His circular is creating considerable in- | terest to-day and is the talk of the city in political circles. —_— e Palm Sunday in Oakland. OAKLAND, March 26.—To-day being Palm Sunday there was special music at many of the local churches. At St. Paul's Episcopal Church as an offertory at the evening service, “Palms,” by Faure, was sung, and instead of the regular evening hymn the anthem, “Praise Ye the Fa- ther,” by Gounod, was rendered. The Easter services next Sunday evening will be entirely musical. At the First Congregational Church Rev. Charles R. Brown, pastor, delivered an interesting Palm Sunday sermon. Len- ten_services will be held in this church cach evening except Saturday during this | week. - In the absence of Rev. Dr.'E. R. Dille, who dedicated the new church at Yreka | to-day, Rev. E. M.

GREEN PROVES TO ‘. BE A TRUE LOVER | AFFIRMS HIS ENGAGEMENT TO | MISS ROEBKE. | | Defies Parental Objections and Will Make the Young Lady His Bride. ALAMEDA, March 2.—All doublts as to | the authenticity of the engagement of Miss Amanda Roebke and young Dr. Jacob S. Green have been swept away Early last month the doctor was ap- | pointed surgeon of the steamer City of Panama, plying along the Central Amer- jcan coast. The day he sailed through the Golden Gate on his way to Acapulco to join his-ship Miss Amanda Roebke, one of the belles of the Encinal City, made | the announcement that she was the be- trothed of the lucky medico. The engagement created a storm of in- dignation in the household of Green's arents. Mrs, Green denied most emphat- cally that her son was engaged and fll(\tled he was too young to take care of a wife, But love only smiles at parental objec- tions, and Miss Roebke is now preparc to substantiate her statements that she is engaged to Dr. Green, and adds further, that they will be married in due course of time despite whatever obstacles Green's | | parents may try to throw in Cupid’'s | pathway. When the betrothal was denied Miss Roebke wrote to her lover to telegraph confirmation of her announcement imme- diately upon recelpt of the epistle. The doctor did not wire his reply, evidentl because it is a difficult matter for an | dent lover to express himself satisfactor- ily to his adored one in a ten-word tele- | gram. But he wrote a letter that set all Soubts of his faithfulness at rest.. He readily admits that his parents do ot love Miss Roebke with anything like the ferver that has taken possession of him. Being beyond the jurisdiction of “the old folks,’ the doctor has regained his courage and will make Miss Roebke his bride, all the angry and objecting o the contrary notwithstanding. arents t | IFhe weading will not take place in Ala- | meda, nor, in fact, at any place wherc Mr. and Mrs. Green Sr. might interfere with the ceremony. As soon as Dr. Green gets settled in his new position and is prepared to provida a home for his bride, she will join him in Central America. If, after the wedding, the doctor's parents show a disposition to extend the *glad hand”’ and bestow the customary blessing, the young couple may visit Alameda. BROWN’S DEFI WAS ONLY A BOLD BLUFF SAYS HE DID NOT MEAN 10 HURT DR. TISDALE. He Expected a Licking and Wanted It Cver With as Soon as Possible. ALAMEDA, March 2.—Brainard C. Brown authorizes the statement that he will not hurt School Director C. L. Tis- | dale, and that, a matter of fact, he | never had any idea of inflicting physical punishment on the celebrated telephone talker, and fully appreciates his inability to do so. He frankly admits that his chal- lenge was only a bluff, and was surprised when Tisdale did not call it. Mr. Brown is now convinced that they are both pretty good at bluffing. “I never had the least idea of engaging in a fistic encounter with Dr. Tisdale,™ said Mr. Brown to-day. ‘“When he threatened to ‘lick — out of' me I ex- pressed a willingness to meet him at any time within a week on the public street. My purpose was not-to invite a fight, but I thought that if the doctor was a man of his word and I was in for a thrashing the sooner the agony was over with the better for all concerned. I see that my ‘defi,’ as it has been termed, gave Tisdale to understand that 1 was somewhat of a fighter myself and he concluded, if we met that he would run up against the real! thing.” ————— Alameda Boat Club Races. ALAMEDA, March 26.—The first of the novice races of the Alameda Boating Club took place this morning on the estu- ary. There was a challenge skiff race be- tween Arthur G.

Music was furnished by the prison band and a selected choir. | A novel feature of the occasion was the | | selection of two of the inmates to deliver | addresses of welcome. H. E. Brown, the Mendocino outlaw, welcomed Miss Jennie | Hughes, Mrs. Booth’s secretary, while a | prisoner named St. Clair officiated in a similar capacity for the noted volunteer herself. Both acquitted themselves cred- | itably and were thanked for their earnest | words of greeting. At the beginning of her sermon Mrs. Booth outlined the work of the Volun- teer Prison League and especfally of the Hope Halls in the East. She explained | | these institutions to be homes where ex- | | convicts are cared for until work can be | secured for them. Many are conducted | by trained corps. In New York the influ- | ence of the league is so powerful that | no prisoners are paroled until they have | the recommendation of its representa- | tives. Speaking of criminals and the | causes of their downfall she said: “After they are free there is a greater | bondage.
